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

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

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

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

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

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

I heard HZMLS gave his fiancee a wonderful present for Christmas: his balls, encased in a cedar box, for her to keep forever and ever. Then again, I woke up at 7 this morning to drive out to Market Basket to buy my girlfriend baking supplies, fending off hundreds of minorities and elderly in the process.\n\nStill, I'm here armed with a dozen Strongbows, low blood sugar, and no motivation whatsoever to leave my living room chair for the next three or so hours, so here's to three hours of Gaylord jokes.\n\n3:35: I mean, if you voluntarily told someone \"oh, I stayed at the Gaylord Hotel,\" that's pretty much an admission that you spent the previous evening blowing a dude, right? Can we now refer to any and all homosexual acts as \"staying at the Gaylord Hotel?\" And can gay guys come out to their parents by leaving a Gaylord Hotels receipt on the kitchen table?\n\n3:39: Holy shit is Dominique Davis a terrible quarterback. He just overthrew his first two passes by a combined 58,058 yards. Between having to root for this guy as his team's quarterback and trading in his penis for the rest of his life, it's a shock that we haven't found a suicide note in HZLMS' apartment.\n\n3:44: Vandy used fifteen different quarterbacks to drive down the field and kick a field goal. Vanderbilt 3, BC 0, Strongbows 1/3. I know, I know, more drinking with the quickness, but being New Year's Eve, today's alcoholocaust (a word I read yesterday on EDSBS and my new favorite word EVER) is going to be a marathon, and not a sprint.\n\n3:52: Holy shit, that Gaylord Hotels guy had the creepiest smile EVER at the end of his speech.

The RB was obviously in such a state of shock that they let Davis pass that he didn't expect the pass. BC punts again, something which, at this rate, will be the inevitable end to all of their offensive possessions.\n\n4:15: The ESPN broadcasters are quite impressed with the turnout of Vanderbilt fans. Yes, because it's impressive that fans actually showed up to a team's first bowl game in 26 years that happens to be down the street from campus. Yeah, kudos and fucking huzzah to them.\n\n4:25: SOUND THE ALARM, DOMINIQUE DAVIS COMPLETED A PASS! Davis just threw for 15 whole yards, and actually hit Brandon Robinson! Yay! Prior to that, Davis had been 1-7 for one whole yard. In fact, we recently went 29 plays from scrimmage here with exactly one play over 10 yards. In a related story, I'm starting to drink heavily. And of course, as I finished typing this, Davis just threw a pick. I HATE THIS GAME AND ITS STUPID FACE.\n\n4:36: There's something comical and depressing about watching Dominique Davis try to throw a long pass. It's kinda like trying to watch a midget get a wineglass off the top shelf, or a foal being born and try to walk. Awkward and uncomfortable, but mildly hysterical.\n\n4:47: Stock up on canned goods and bottled water, because BC's put together an actual drive. Granted, they've averaged like 3.6 yards per play on said drive, but still, they've proceeded to go 16 consecutive plays without punting, turning the ball over or having any member of their offense publicly defecate all over himself.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In this case, it would neither be hasty generalization, nor post hoc ergo propter hoc, especially since snakes are known to be venomous and people have been known to die from snake bites, and your friend died right after being bitten by one.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

All what you have done is state the following belief:\n\n\nWhat evidence do you have that a woman's value is only in her ability to reproduce and shave her pubic hair?\n\nIf you have ever read a history book or educated yourself, you would learn that some of the greatest minds have been women and were capable mentally and biologically to carry out the same tasks as men and even surpass them.\nYour so-called idea of the female's function to reproduce is only a social construct created by men in power, in order to debase women and preserve a male dominated system. You are doing the same thing by trying to ESSENTIALIZE things that arent true, which women have proved wrong. What you are trying to essentialize is that women are incapable of fullfilling any function except for being submissive to a man. If you actually have an hint of awarness or intelligence, you would see that there have been many successful and independant women pursuing occupations and positions of authority and power-- and have been successful at it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Make sure you have an iTunes backup on your computer. If you have images that you have deleted and an older itunes backup on your computer, don\u2019t make any new backup because the files could be overwritten and the pictures will be deleted forever. So, depending on the case, use an older backup or generate a new iTunes one.\n 3. From the left side of the iPhone Backup Extractor, choose the iTunes file from where you need to extract your photos.

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

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

When the new binary is executed it will begin by executing a goto LABEL (with all the restrictions that goto suffers). Think of it as a goto with an intervening core dump and reincarnation. If LABEL is omitted, restarts the program from the top.

You just stated that it isn't useful to keep qr objects around if they're just going to be interpolated back into other expressions.\n\nLog In?\n\nWhat's my password?\nCreate A New User\nNode Status?\nnode history\nNode Type: note [id://269061]\nand the web crawler heard nothing...\n\nHow do I use this? | Other CB clients\nOther Users?\nOthers chanting in the Monastery: (5)\nAs of 2014-09-17 00:29 GMT\nFind Nodes?\n Voting Booth?\n\n How do you remember the number of days in each month?\n\n Results (55 votes), past polls<|endoftext|>Social media influencer Abike, popularly known as Papaya Ex, has reacted after she shared a photo of a house claiming", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 40900, "pt_loc": 29182188, "pt_shuffle_idx": 21948827, "doc_index_f": 34411947, "doc_index_l": 34411950, "offset_f": 638, "offset_l": 25, "pt_injection_pos": 2, "pt_window_offset": 10, "pt_injection_len": 32, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [602, 306, 1115, 26]} -{"pt_doc": "1k.\n\n**No purchase necessary.\n\n5 Reasons You Might Sell a Stock\n\nThere are several reasons you might want to consider selling a stock. Here are a couple. Please note that none of these amount to a recommendation. They are ways to think about the decision.\n\n1. Selling a Stock When You No Longer Believe in the Company\n\nWhen you bought the stock, you presumably did so because you believed that the company was promising and/or that the price was reasonable.\n\nIf you start to believe that the underlying fundamentals of the business are in decline, it might be time to sell the stock and reinvest those funds in a company with a better outlook.\n\nThere are many reasons you may lose faith in a company\u2019s underlying fundamentals. For example, the company may have declining profit margins or decreasing revenue, increased competition, new leadership taking the company in a different direction, or legal problems.\n\nPart of the trick here is differentiating what might be a short-term blip in the stock price due to a bad quarter or even a bad year and what feels like it could be the start of a more sustained change within the business.\n\n2. Selling a Stock Due to Opportunity Cost\n\nEvery decision you make comes at the cost of some other decision you can\u2019t make. When you spend your money on one thing, the tradeoff is that you cannot spend that money on something else.\n\nSame goes for investing\u2014for each stock you buy, you are doing so at the cost of not holding some other stock.\n\nNo matter the performance of the stock you\u2019re currently holding, it might be worth evaluating to see if there could be a more profitable way to deploy those same dollars. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that provide easy access to other asset classes\u2013like bonds or commodities\u2013as well as newer markets like different types of cryptocurrencies have also created competition to simply holding plain-vanilla company stocks.\n\nThis is easier said than done because we are emotionally invested in the stocks that we\u2019ve already purchased. It may be a good idea to try and be as objective as possible during the evaluation and re-evaluation processes.\n\n3. Selling a Stock Because the Valuation Is High\n\nOftentimes, stocks are looked at in terms of their price-to-earnings ratios. The market price per share is on the top of the equation, and on the bottom of the equation is the earnings per share. This ratio allows investors to make an apples-to-apples comparison of the relative earnings at different companies.\n\nThe higher the number, the higher the price as compared to the earnings of that company. A P/E ratio alone might not tell you whether a stock is going to do well or poorly in the future.\n\nBut when paired with other data, such as historical ratios for that same stock, or the earnings multiples of their competitors or a benchmark market, like the S&P 500 Index, it may be an indicator that the stock is currently overpriced and that it may be time to sell the stock.\n\nA P/E ratio could increase due to one of two reasons. First, because the price has increased without a corresponding increase in the expected earnings for that company.\n\nAnd two, because the earnings expectations have been lowered without a corresponding decrease in the price of the stock. Either of these scenarios tells us that there could be trouble for the stock on the horizon, though nothing\u2019s a sure bet.\n\n4. Selling a Stock For Personal Reasons\n\nThough not an analytical reason to sell, it is possible that you may need to sell a stock for personal reasons, such as needing the money for living expenses or in the home-buying process. If this is the case, you may want to consider a number of factors in choosing which stock to sell.\n\nYou may make the decision based purely off of which stocks you feel have the worst forward-looking prospect for growth while keeping those that you feel have a better outlook. Or, you may make the decision based on tax reasons.\n\n5. Selling a Stock Because of Taxes\n\nA tax strategy shouldn\u2019t outweigh making decisions based on investment principles. Still, some people may take the rules of taxation into account when making decisions about which stocks to keep and which stocks to sell.\n\nWhen purchased outside of a retirement account, gains on the sale of an investment like stock are subject to capital gains tax.\n\nIt may be possible to offset some capital gains with capital losses, which are acquired by selling stocks at a loss. If you\u2019re considering this strategy, you may want to consult a tax professional. One strategy that some people use is automated tax-loss harvesting, or purposely selling some investments at a loss in order to offset the tax consequences of another profit-generating investment.\n\nWhen Not to Sell a Stock\n\nBefore discussing valid reasons you may want to sell a stock, let\u2019s talk about what might not be a good reason to sell a stock: Making a knee-jerk reaction to the recent performance of that stock.\n\nThis can be classified as attempting to time the market. Even the experts cannot always buy at the bottom and sell at the top. Know that there is no perfect equation and that it is not science.\n\nIt can be tempting to sell a stock based on a big dip or bump in price, but the recent price movement alone might not give a complete picture of the current value of a stock.\n\nIt may help to remember that a stock is something that trades in an open marketplace and that prices shift due to the buying and selling of these stocks.\n\nThis is especially the case in the short term. Therefore, price changes may have as much to do with investor sentiment or outside forces (such as geopolitical or economic events or announcements) as they do with the health of the underlying company.\n\nThe Takeaway\n\nIf making the decision about when to sell a stock is causing you to lose sleep, it may be time to consult the help of a professional or seek out investment strategies that don\u2019t require making such a decision.\n\nYou may want to differentiate between index funds and managed funds. Index funds mimic some particular part of the overall stock market and don\u2019t involve an active manager. For example, an S&P 500 mutual fund (or ETF) holds all 500 companies held in the S&P 500 index. With the purchase of just this one fund, you are actually buying into the 500 stocks that are currently measured by the S&P 500 index.\n\nWith SoFi Invest\u00ae\u2019s Automated Investing, a robo-advisor service, you can get an investment portfolio of ETFs built for you using your goals, risk tolerance, and investing time horizon as a guide.

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

It was accessible to a large population and it didn\u2019t take a ton of musical production to have an impact.\n\nZahalan likens the socially conscious nature of rap with the free styling protest poetry of the \u201860s where icons such as Bob Dylan and Paul Simon promoted \u2018love and peace\u2019, a key factor being that it seemed to come from a predominantly white, educated audience, while rap seemed to promote \u2018violence & hate\u2019, which had come from a predominantly black, less fortunate background.\n\nIn the nineties, when rap first broke out as its own genre, there was only negative feedback. People weren\u2019t used to it and felt uncomfortable with its daring nature, both lyrically and sonically.\n\nRap groups such as N.W.A., Public Enemy, and Wu-Tang Clan boldly put out content that spoke against discrimination, their experiences under police brutality, and the struggles of living in poverty, as well as drugs and gang violence in the community.\n\nPeople generally interpreted their craft as a glamorization of a lifestyle of violence. And although similar themes are sometimes echoed in the music today, listeners have shifted in the way they interpret it, understanding that it\u2019s simply a story being told of struggle and perseverance.\n\n\u201cThe paradigm shift in rap music today came from an accumulation of a cry for help all those years. I think rap always represented those oppressed and spoke for the people,\u201d said Delroy Gordon, 19, a second year Visual Creative Arts student at Sheridan.\n\nGordon debunks the notion that rap endorses violence.\n\n\u201cThat\u2019s wrong. There are a billion artists who rap about positive subjects. Some do talk about violence, but that doesn\u2019t define their single art form.\u201d\n\nThe negative connotations posed on the genre would eventually be dismantled, as rap music outgrew\u00a0its niche of a \u201cgangsta\u201d lifestyle theme, and into more socially conscious and thought-provoking content.\n\n\u201cI think once we started hearing different subject matter from icons like Tupac and those guys, once we started hearing intelligent conversations from them it kind of spun the whole genre to a different direction.\u201d said Gordon.\n\nThe young fan base grew rapidly over the years from because of being able to relate to the\u00a0thought processes and emotions rappers exposed in their storytelling. The diversity of the stories expanded, and whether or not the artist came from harder backstories, they had something to say and people listened.\n\nJudd Orcasitas, 20, a second-year Communications Culture Information Technology student believes \u201cpeople were able to connect to the words more than the sound itself.\u201d\n\n\u201cIt became popular because people wanted to hear something different, there was nothing like that at the time it started. You\u2019re just able to say whatever you want, it\u2019s cohesive.\u201d said Orcasitas.\n\nWhen\u00a0artists like Nas, Eminem, Lupe Fiasco, and Kanye West broke out rapping about every day life, personal growth and struggles, it became evident that taking\u00a0part in the hip hop culture or its music no longer\u00a0required a history that involved drugs, guns, and poverty.\n\nMacklemore, Iggy Azeala, Nicki Minaj, Frank Ocean, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar are the rappers to the millennials who have all produced worldwide hits with diversified content that connects to all the types of social norms existing today \u2013 the byproduct of years of fighting censorship and inequality.\n\nZahalan says that the genre\u2019s \u201cpart in our musical evolution was essential to what we call mainstream pop today. It has become integrated in every genre of music now and some would argue that Rap is the new Pop of this generation.\u201d\n\n\u201cArtists from Tupac Shakur to Wiz Khalifa, Common were and are brilliant wordsmiths; Kanye is equal parts brilliant and repulsive and like it or not, rap music is an essential element of popular music today.\n\n\u201cAnd it doesn\u2019t even matter if you\u2019re black or white anymore,\u201d said Gordon.\n\n\u201cIf you\u2019re feeling like you\u2019re fighting a battle you can\u2019t win, that\u2019s the music that speaks for you. That\u2019s why I connect to it, and why others have all these years.\u201d<|endoftext|>Sith drop ships were deployed by Sith personnel carriers, transporting Sith troops and war beasts to planetary surfaces.\n\n\n\nIn other languages\n\nAd blocker interference detected!\n\n<|endoftext|>An irrational day\n\nSo I woke up this morning to discover that Prof. Stephen Hawking is now on his way off to the Great Lecture Hall in the Sky:\n\nPhysicist Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76.\n\nHawking\u2019s children Lucy, Robert and Tim issued a statement on Wednesday, March 14th, in which they said \u201cWe are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today.\u201d\n\n\u201cHe was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years. His courage and persistence with his brilliance and humour inspired people across the world.\u201d \u201cHe once said: \u2018It would not be much of a universe if it wasn\u2019t home to the people you love.\u2019 We will miss him for ever.\u201d\n\nHawking was diagnosed with motor neurone disease aged 22, and advised he could expect to live just a few more years. However, the disease progressed more slowly than predicted and Hawking married, kept working and became a titan of both hard and popular science.\n\nHis hard science saw him develop theories on black holes and gravity that went a long way towards reconciling classical and quantum mechanics.\n\nHis prominent place in popular science came about after his book A Brief History of Time became an unexpected best-seller after its lucid and accessible explanation of time, space and science\u2019s search for a \u201ctheory of everything\u201d resonated with the public.\n\nSo did Hawking's life story: the stricken-but-still-brilliant scientist in a tricked-out wheelchair was someone the world wanted to know. His synthesised voice became his trademark and his wheelchair something of a symbol of the possibilities afforded by technology.\n\nI read A Brief History of Time\u00a0sometime in my teens - which by the way is not nearly as impressive as it sounds, since I understood perhaps one word in five of the entire thing and have never re-read it since as an adult. But I was much struck by the way in which Prof. Hawking was able to elucidate some fiendishly\u00a0complicated and intricate concepts in both theoretical applied physics, and in highly complex mathematics, and make the ideas accessible to any reasonably intelligent person with a decent background in the hard sciences.\n\nTruly, we have lost a great mind.\n\nUnfortunately, Prof. Hawking's legacy of brilliance and scientific discovery will be tempered by the fact that he fell for some astoundingly\u00a0stupid ideas along the way:\n\nThroughout his career Prof Hawking was showered with honorary degrees, medals, awards and prizes, and in 1982 he was made a CBE.\n\nBut he also ruffled a few feathers within the scientific establishment with far-fetched statements about the existence of extraterrestrials, time travel, and the creation of humans through genetic engineering.\n\nHe has also predicted the end of humanity, due to global warming, a new killer virus, or the impact of a large comet.\n\nHe also had precious little to say in favour of the concept of a benevol", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 44172, "pt_loc": 27170303, "pt_shuffle_idx": 207551754, "doc_index_f": 325352589, "doc_index_l": 325352592, "offset_f": 262, "offset_l": 641, "pt_injection_pos": 2, "pt_window_offset": 22, "pt_injection_len": 26, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [198, 1172, 37, 642]} -{"pt_doc": "It is a yellow solid with a low solubility in water, but good solubility in DMF.<|endoftext|> the most striking of which included a knife-wielding attack on his then-girlfriend in 2008.\n\nWow, and yet he keeps his job.

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

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

As such, buyers in approximately 17 of the nation\u2019s provinces will reportedly be provided subsidies for fuel cell vehicles, while 10 cities will receive incentives to construct refueling stations.\n\nChina plans to put a million fuel cell vehicles on the roads by 2030.\n\nThe government intends to see a million hydrogen-powered vehicles on the nation\u2019s roads by 2030. This is quite the tall order as the country aims to have 50,000 of these vehicles in 2025. This in itself is an extremely ambitious plan considering last year the country had only 1,791 units on its roads.\n\nAccording to the International Energy Agency, the number of fuel cell vehicles in the world raised by 80% to 12,900 units in 2018. The US accounted for 46%, Japan with 23% and China with 14%.\n\nStill, as ambitious as China\u2019s 2030 goal is, South China Morning Post notes that it pales in comparison to South Korea, which seeks to have 1.8 million hydrogen-powered vehicles in service by 2030 and 80,000 units by 2023.\n\nThe new hydrogen fuel incentives will help fuel cell vehicles compete with EVs in China.\n\nIt is believed that the new hydrogen fuel-related policies that the Chinese government puts forth will help fuel cell vehicles to compete with all-battery electric vehicles. This is expected to be the case especially for public transit and heavy-duty vehicles. The reason is that these vehicles stand to benefit from longer driving range and shorter refuelling times, something that hydrogen fuel cells can do better than their all-battery electric clean transportation counterparts.\n\n\u201cWhen you think about a bus,\u201d said Alfred Wong, the Asia-Pacific managing director of Canada-based fuel cell technology developer Ballard Power Systems, \u201cdo you want it to carry more batteries or passengers?\u201d\n\n\u201cOnce we get the cost of heavy-duty vehicles down, we can address the lighter vehicles market, starting with the vehicles the ride-sharing applications enabled for smartphones, that require long driving range and short refuelling time,\u201d he said, as quoted by South China Morning Post.\n\nhydrogen fuel incentives - Chinese YuanThat being said, only time will tell if the hydrogen fuel incentive that China has planned will help the government reach its ambitious 2030 goal.<|endoftext|>Confession time\n\nHi all!\n\nI have a confession to make. I wasn\u2019t planning on writing about anything other than LMS stuff on this blog, but I have something I need to get of my chest.\n\nI have been cheating on you.\n\nIt\u2019s true. I have had other projects besides hacking away on the EV3. I\u2019m not proud of it, but that is how it is. And that is why I haven\u2019t made any updates on this blog in a while. My other project sort of have a deadline and with christmas coming up finding time\u00a0for one project is difficult, and finding time for two projects is near impossible for me.\n\nSo I will keep working on my other project for a bit, and when that is done I can come back to wrestle with the LMS VM on the EV3.\n\nHugs and kisses!\n\nLMS syntax highlighting in Sublime Text 2\n\nI\u2019ve been working a bit on getting LMS syntax highlighting in to Sublime Text 2.\n\nThis is what it looks like so far:\n\nLMS syntax highlighting in Sublime\n\nI\u2019m struggling to get labels to highlight properly but I\u2019ve got a lot of the basics in there. It\u2019s easy but boring\u00a0to add all\u00a0op codes so I\u2019ll add them\u00a0as I go along. It will be fantastic!\n\n\n\nFor a while I\u2019ve been wondering about the performance of the EV3 and I\u2019ve been thinking that since it is a 300 MHz ARM9 processor I figured the performance shouldn\u2019t be an issue.\n\nBut after building a simple framework that draws one image using UI_DRAW BITMAP, and drawing 2 sprites that does UI_DRAW PIXEL for each pixel in the sprite I am already using up 90 of the 100 ms I have for each frame. This basically means that to achieve 10 fps I can\u2019t do more than draw one background and two sprites.\n\nSo that is a bit disappointing!\n\nThere is a trick to copy the current frame buffer to a temporary buffer and then copy that buffer back to the frame buffer, and it is a cheap operation to do, so when I removed the UI_DRAW BITMAP that draws the background and only do that once, copy the drawn image to a buffer and then for each frame copy that buffer back to the frame buffer I get down to 59 ms per frame. So that\u2019s a bit nicer.\n\nRemoving my own sprite drawing function but keeping the buffer copying thing the frame time is reduced from 59 ms to 0.3 ms, soooo .. that\u2019s embarrassing. :)\n\nIf I keep all my code but remove the call to UI_DRAW PIXEL the frame time is 44 ms, so the actual drawing is somewhat expensive, but since we use quite a lot of frame time even without drawing then perhaps there is a chance to optimize this.\n\nIf I remove the reading of the pixel in the sprite I get down to a frame time of 21 ms. In these 21 ms it is all \u201cmy\u201d stuff, meaning it is my inner loop in the sprite drawing, my algorithm to sort the game objects (bubble sort ftw), my overhead for managing game objects etc..\n\nAnd if I remove the call to Sprite_Draw entirely I\u2019m down to 1.5 ms.

In this CKD, the kidney gets damaged and its ability to function is reduced regardless of the cause. The term \u2018chronic\u2019 is used when this condition lasts for more than 3 months. Sometimes, CKD can also lead to kidney failure or end-stage renal disease. If this happens, the patient will need dialysis treatment or a kidney transplant to stay alive.\n\nWhat is End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)?\n\nEnd-Stage Renal Disease stands for permanent kidney failure. In this condition, the body begins to retain fluids, harmful wastes, and toxins due to the inability of the kidney to function. Patients with ESRD need to get dialysis treatment or a kidney transplant to stay alive.\n\nIs there a cure for Chronic Kidney Disease or End-Stage Renal Disease?\n\nThe best\u00a0 cure for CKD stage 5 or ESRD is kidney transplant.\n\nWhat is dialysis?\n\nDialysis is the closest way to imitate natural kidney function. It is a way of cleaning the blood of wastes, toxins, extra water, and regulating the body\u2019s fluid balance. Dialysis also helps to keep blood pressure in control.\n\nCan I travel while on dialysis?\n\nIf you plan to travel while on dialysis, you need to make sure that you have enough dialysis medication and have access to a dialysis facility. You should always speak to your doctor before making any decision.\n\nDo I have to follow a special diet for CKD and ESRD?\n\nYour diet depends on your medical condition and the stage of your medical condition. You should always check with your doctor to find out about the diet requirements for your kidney condition. Some basic things you need to keep in mind about your diet:\n\n \u2022 Reduce salt intake as sodium can harm your kidney and increase blood pressure\n \u2022 Reduces phosphorus intake as it can build up in your bodies.\n \u2022 Reduce phosphorus intake as it can build up in your kidneys<|endoftext|>This genus is currently classified in the family of lizards, known as Iguanidae, subfamily Polychrotinae, and is no longer classified in the now invalid family, polychrotidae.<|endoftext|>Vince J. Juaristi: Intertwined: A Basque-American Fairytale\n\n\n\nA Basque-American Fairytale\nBy Vince J. Juaristi\n\nDuring a bedtime story, a godchild of mine interrupted with a question, \u201cWhy are Basque people good?\u201d\n\nHow fascinating, I thought. Mother Goose quickly went by the wayside.\n\n\u201cIt has to do with a frustrated devil,\u201d I told her. \u201cOne day, the devil climbed from the fire and smoke of hell to visit the Basque and turn them bad. With his red forked tongue, he whispered evil temptations in their ears. That\u2019s how the devil works, you see, twisting hope and light into despair and darkness. But no matter how hard he tried, or how much he wagged his devilish tongue, he could not speak Euskera, the Basque language, so he had no power or influence over the Basque people. He finally gave up and returned to hell, and that, my dear godchild, is why the Basque are good to this day.\u201d\n\nThe tale satisfied her, and I finished reading the three bears or the three pigs or some other less riveting fairytale for her proper education.\n\nHer question had been a good one, even if it had no objective answer. Years later, I pondered it again, though I asked it differently, \u201cHave the Basque thrived in America?\u201d\n\nThe question really had two parts \u2013 first, the status of Basque in America, and second, their status compared to others in similar circumstances.\n\nWhen I turned to the U.S. Census for something quantitative, I didn\u2019t know what I might find. If the data showed the Basque lagging others in America, it would be as disappointing for me as it was for Pinocchio learning that he had descended from a piece of plywood and not the warmth of parents.

Some physicians will see having a foreskin as a problem in and of itself. They see the foreskin as a tumor and will prescribe circumcision upon seeing it. The only thing they ever learned in medical school regarding the foreskin is that it must be removed.\n\nCircumcision is Deeply Ingrained in North American Culture\nIt's a relatively new phenomenon that began only about a century ago, but male circumcision has become deeply ingrained in American culture. The phenomenon of male circumcision in America has evolved over the decades. It started as a way to prevent masturbation, because masturbation was thought to be the source of physical and mental disease. Then it turned into a status symbol, where being circumcised meant you were born into a family that could afford to go to the doctor, and not being circumcised meant you came from a poor family. Other associations were made with it too, including being \"unhygienic\" and \"dirty.\"\n\nIn recent years, the rate of male infant circumcision has fallen from about 80 to 90% in the 1980's, to about 56%, according to the CDC, but the overall number of adult males circumcised from birth continues to be about 80%, so there is an overwhelming compulsion to continue to see male circumcision as \"normal,\" and having intact genitals as foreign and alien, sometimes even as \"dirty,\" \"diseased\" and/or \"undesirable,\" so intact males need to be aware that in America, having intact genitals carries social stigma, and doctors may be trying to push their bias that all men need to be circumcised on them.\n\nReligious Conviction to Circumcision\nFor some, the compulsion to stigmatize anatomically correct male genitals is religious in origin. Particularly for adherents of Judaism, circumcision, particularly male infant circumcision, is seen as divine commandment. Adherents of Islam often see male circumcision as a good Muslim virtue, although this is not a requirement (not all Muslims circumcise), and it is not mentioned once in the Quran. Some adherents of Christianity see male circumcision as desirable, as it was commanded to Abraham, although it is stated in the New Testament that circumcision profits the Christian nothing. (See Galatians 5) On the front, doctors who advocate for circumcision may state that they do so because of the so-called \"medical benefits\" it supposedly affords, but in actuality, they may be cloaking a religious conviction which disallows them from saying anything negative about circumcision, and only highlighting all the \"benefits\" of it.\n\nCircumcision is a Moneymaker\nHey. Everybody has to make a living. We all need to eat somehow. Used car salesmen make their living selling used cars. Companies spend millions of dollars on infomercial campaigns trying to convince you that you absolutely need to buy their product. In America's for-profit medical system, doctors may try to convince you that you absolutely need the service they offer, the drug they push, the surgery they specialize in. In America, some doctors make their sole living on convincing males, and/or their parents, that they need circumcision. In a culture that's already geared toward having a circumcised penis, some men, having endured the social stigma of having intact genitals, happily oblige.\n\n\nSo the first thing to consider when a doctor tells you you need to be circumcised is, \"Is my doctor biased?\"\n\nIs your doctor actually fully educated as to how the intact penis works?\n\nDoes he himself have a personal bias in favor of circumcision?\n\nDoes s/he have a religious conviction in favor of circumcision?\n\nDoes your doctor make a great part of his living by prescribing circumcision and isn't actually interested in solving your problem?\n\nIf you're in North America, chances are he or she is, and it would be wise of you to seek a second opinion.\n\nStandard medicine dictates that surgery should be used as a last resort, and only where alternative, less invasive methods of treatment have failed.\n\nIf your doctor hasn't even bothered trying to treat your problem in other ways before resorting to surgery, this should be a good indicator that you probably need to see another doctor.\n\nIt is best to seek a doctor that you know for sure is interested in preserving your body, taking care of your problem conservatively, and isn't trying to push his or her bias that all men should be circumcised on you. Such doctors will be known as \"foreskin friendly,\" or \"intact friendly\" doctors hereafter. In the future, we will compile a list of doctors who have their knowledge of anatomically correct male genitals up-to-date.\n\nIntact Male's View of Surgical Treatment\nThe goal of this website is to promote anatomically correct male genitals, to spread awareness, and to help intact males realize there's nothing wrong with having organs as nature meant them to be, and to build confidence. However, this is not to say that problems don't occur, and that corrective surgery is never necessary. We want to promote having intact genitals, but we also acknowledge that there may be cases where surgery may be inevitable.\n\nOne of the greatest goals of this website is to spread education and awareness about anatomically correct male genitals, and this includes problems that could occur with them, and what methods of treatment are available, including, when needs be, surgery.\n\nThe view of this website is that although surgery is a valid method of treatment when there is medical indication, it should be treated as a very last resort when all other methods of treatment have failed, or when a male individual is able to weigh the pros and cons and make an informed decision. Some males may decide that surgery is the best treatment for them, and may want to forgo alternative treatment, and that's OK too, so long as they are fully informed, and they're the ones making that decision.\n\nHow do I know I actually need surgery?\nLet's begin to address this question by stating some facts.\n\nFirst and foremost, attention must be brought to the fact that empirical evidence shows that problems of anatomically correct male genitals which require surgical correction are extremely rare.\n\nAccording to the current medical literature, only about 1% of intact males, if not less, ever develop problems that require surgical treatment.\n\nThe fact is that about 70% of males are not circumcised globally, and there is simply no epidemic of \"problems,\" no mob of men banging down the door at urologists' offices demanding to be circumcised.\n\nIn the United States, doctors may use any and every alibi as a reason to circumcise, including the mere presence of the foreskin itself.\n\nIntact males need to be aware that medical indication for circumcision is already quite rare, and that if a doctor is calling for him to be circumcised, without any medical indication, without any tests, without trying other methods of treatment first, this should raise a red flag.\n\nLet's Begin By Talking About What is \"Normal\"\nPart of the problem here is that the foreskin has been absent from the American psyche for so long that a lot of people don't actually know what is \"normal,\" because we've been conditioned to think that being circumcised should be \"normal\" by default, and that there is a problem otherwise.\n\nIn an intact male, the foreskin usually covers the head of the penis when it is flaccid, bunching up at an area called the acropostheon.\n\nThe part of the foreskin that bunches up and hangs over the glans (head of the penis), is called the \"acropostheon,\" colloquially known as the \"overhang.\" Some people think this part of the penis is so important so as to warrant special attention, so much that they created a website dedicated to it. You can visit the website here.\n\nThe foreskin does not always cover the glans completely, however. Some foreskins are shorter than others.\n\nIn some penises, the head of the penis protrudes from the acropostheon. How much the foreskin covers the glans varies from penis to penis. The degree to how much the head of the penis is covered is called \"coverage\" in some circles.\n\nHow much \"coverage\" do you have? A \"Foreskin Coverage Index\" has been created, showing the different degrees of \"coverage\" that men may have. Visit the website here.\n\nIn most penises, the foreskin retracts to reveal the glans when the penis is erect.\n\nSome may need a little \"help,\" however...\n\nSo now that we've established a benchmark of \"normality\" for intact guys, let's talk about problems that may warrant surgical intervention.\n\nBy far, the most common \"problem\" in intact males is the inability to retract the foreskin to reveal the glans, often called \"phimosis.\" It is said that about 10% of men will develop problems retracting their foreskin, and about 1% may actually need surgical treatment. The word \"phimosis\" originates from the Greek word phimos (\u03c6\u1fd1\u03bc\u03cc\u03c2) which means \"muzzle\".\u00a0 Today, \"phimosis\" is a vague blanket term that refers to any condition where a male can't retract his foreskin, but it actually refers to a", "base_doc": " a man who's organs remain as nature gave them to him.

It started as a way to prevent masturbation, because masturbation was thought to be the source of physical and mental disease. Then it turned into a status symbol, where being circumcised meant you were born into a family that could afford to go to the doctor, and not being circumcised meant you came from a poor family. Other associations were made with it too, including being \"unhygienic\" and \"dirty.\"\n\nIn recent years, the rate of male infant circumcision has fallen from about 80 to 90% in the 1980's, to about 56%, according to the CDC, but the overall number of adult males circumcised from birth continues to be about 80%, so there is an overwhelming compulsion to continue to see male circumcision as \"normal,\" and having intact genitals as foreign and alien, sometimes even as \"dirty,\" \"diseased\" and/or \"undesirable,\" so intact males need to be aware that in America, having intact genitals carries social stigma, and doctors may be trying to push their bias that all men need to be circumcised on them.\n\nReligious Conviction to Circumcision\nFor some, the compulsion to stigmatize anatomically correct male genitals is religious in origin. Particularly for adherents of Judaism, circumcision, particularly male infant circumcision, is seen as divine commandment. Adherents of Islam often see male circumcision as a good Muslim virtue, although this is not a requirement (not all Muslims circumcise), and it is not mentioned once in the Quran. Some adherents of Christianity see male circumcision as desirable, as it was commanded to Abraham, although it is stated in the New Testament that circumcision profits the Christian nothing. (See Galatians 5) On the front, doctors who advocate for circumcision may state that they do so because of the so-called \"medical benefits\" it supposedly affords, but in actuality, they may be cloaking a religious conviction which disallows them from saying anything negative about circumcision, and only highlighting all the \"benefits\" of it.\n\nCircumcision is a Moneymaker\nHey. Everybody has to make a living. We all need to eat somehow. Used car salesmen make their living selling used cars. Companies spend millions of dollars on infomercial campaigns trying to convince you that you absolutely need to buy their product. In America's for-profit medical system, doctors may try to convince you that you absolutely need the service they offer, the drug they push, the surgery they specialize in. In America, some doctors make their sole living on convincing males, and/or their parents, that they need circumcision. In a culture that's already geared toward having a circumcised penis, some men, having endured the social stigma of having intact genitals, happily oblige.\n\n\nSo the first thing to consider when a doctor tells you you need to be circumcised is, \"Is my doctor biased?\"\n\nIs your doctor actually fully educated as to how the intact penis works?\n\nDoes he himself have a personal bias in favor of circumcision?\n\nDoes s/he have a religious conviction in favor of circumcision?\n\nDoes your doctor make a great part of his living by prescribing circumcision and isn't actually interested in solving your problem?\n\nIf you're in North America, chances are he or she is, and it would be wise of you to seek a second opinion.\n\nStandard medicine dictates that surgery should be used as a last resort, and only where alternative, less invasive methods of treatment have failed.\n\nIf your doctor hasn't even bothered trying to treat your problem in other ways before resorting to surgery, this should be a good indicator that you probably need to see another doctor.\n\nIt is best to seek a doctor that you know for sure is interested in preserving your body, taking care of your problem conservatively, and isn't trying to push his or her bias that all men should be circumcised on you. Such doctors will be known as \"foreskin friendly,\" or \"intact friendly\" doctors hereafter. In the future, we will compile a list of doctors who have their knowledge of anatomically correct male genitals up-to-date.\n\nIntact Male's View of Surgical Treatment\nThe goal of this website is to promote anatomically correct male genitals, to spread awareness, and to help intact males realize there's nothing wrong with having organs as nature meant them to be, and to build confidence. However, this is not to say that problems don't occur, and that corrective surgery is never necessary. We want to promote having intact genitals, but we also acknowledge that there may be cases where surgery may be inevitable.\n\nOne of the greatest goals of this website is to spread education and awareness about anatomically correct male genitals, and this includes problems that could occur with them, and what methods of treatment are available, including, when needs be, surgery.\n\nThe view of this website is that although surgery is a valid method of treatment when there is medical indication, it should be treated as a very last resort when all other methods of treatment have failed, or when a male individual is able to weigh the pros and cons and make an informed decision. Some males may decide that surgery is the best treatment for them, and may want to forgo alternative treatment, and that's OK too, so long as they are fully informed, and they're the ones making that decision.\n\nHow do I know I actually need surgery?\nLet's begin to address this question by stating some facts.\n\nFirst and foremost, attention must be brought to the fact that empirical evidence shows that problems of anatomically correct male genitals which require surgical correction are extremely rare.\n\nAccording to the current medical literature, only about 1% of intact males, if not less, ever develop problems that require surgical treatment.\n\nThe fact is that about 70% of males are not circumcised globally, and there is simply no epidemic of \"problems,\" no mob of men banging down the door at urologists' offices demanding to be circumcised.\n\nIn the United States, doctors may use any and every alibi as a reason to circumcise, including the mere presence of the foreskin itself.\n\nIntact males need to be aware that medical indication for circumcision is already quite rare, and that if a doctor is calling for him to be circumcised, without any medical indication, without any tests, without trying other methods of treatment first, this should raise a red flag.\n\nLet's Begin By Talking About What is \"Normal\"\nPart of the problem here is that the foreskin has been absent from the American psyche for so long that a lot of people don't actually know what is \"normal,\" because we've been conditioned to think that being circumcised should be \"normal\" by default, and that there is a problem otherwise.\n\nIn an intact male, the foreskin usually covers the head of the penis when it is flaccid, bunching up at an area called the acropostheon.\n\nThe part of the foreskin that bunches up and hangs over the glans (head of the penis), is called the \"acropostheon,\" colloquially known as the \"overhang.\" Some people think this part of the penis is so important so as to warrant special attention, so much that they created a website dedicated to it. You can visit the website here.\n\nThe foreskin does not always cover the glans completely, however. Some foreskins are shorter than others.\n\nIn some penises, the head of the penis protrudes from the acropostheon. How much the foreskin covers the glans varies from penis to penis. The degree to how much the head of the penis is covered is called \"coverage\" in some circles.\n\nHow much \"coverage\" do you have? A \"Foreskin Coverage Index\" has been created, showing the different degrees of \"coverage\" that men may have. Visit the website here.\n\nIn most penises, the foreskin retracts to reveal the glans when the penis is erect.\n\nSome may need a little \"help,\" however...\n\nSo now that we've established a benchmark of \"normality\" for intact guys, let's talk about problems that may warrant surgical intervention.\n\nBy far, the most common \"problem\" in intact males is the inability to retract the foreskin to reveal the glans, often called \"phimosis.\" It is said that about 10% of men will develop problems retracting their foreskin, and about 1% may actually need surgical treatment. The word \"phimosis\" originates from the Greek word phimos (\u03c6\u1fd1\u03bc\u03cc\u03c2) which means \"muzzle\".\u00a0 Today, \"phimosis\" is a vague blanket term that refers to any condition where a male can't retract his foreskin, but it actually refers to a specific medical condition. Oftentimes, what doctors call \"phimosis\" may", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 52352, "pt_loc": 48993270, "pt_shuffle_idx": 35772098, "doc_index_f": 56067316, "doc_index_l": 56067316, "offset_f": 590, "offset_l": 2638, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 18, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": "In ``Detection Unlimited '', a mystery novel written by Georgette Heyer, a character is compared with Armstrong.<|endoftext|> for unambiguous reference.

It was a picture of you being clean enough to enter into the temple, clean enough as you entered further into the temple, you would do more and more ceremonial washing. Well, John is baptizing and so most likely what they're arguing about is what's the difference between baptism, what's the difference between ceremonial washing. I'm sure that was a huge debate at that time. So that continues...that conversation's happening, but then really the root of what's happening here is in this next verse. I think it's verse 26.\n\n\"They came to John and said to him, 'Rabbi, that man who is with you on the other side of the Jordan, the one you testified about,' which is Jesus, \"look, He is baptizing and everyone is going to Him.\" And everyone is going to Him. Now, all of this debate of the day about ceremonial washing and baptism, that's not really what's happening here. What seems to be happening is the debate, whatever it was, moved quickly to point out that Jesus is more popular than we are. Jesus is baptizing and everyone's going to Him, but John you started this whole baptism thing. In essence, Jesus is stealing all of our converts, everyone's going to Him, what do we do, John?\u00a0You could say John's disciples have this competitive mindset. And this is what John replied.\n\nHe said, \"A person can receive what is given them from Heaven. You yourselves can testify that I said I am not the Messiah.\" So, I'm not the one you're expecting. \"But I am sent ahead of Him. The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom's voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.\"\n\nJohn pretty much says you are my disciples, you know I said that I am not the Messiah. The bride belongs to the groom. Now, the groom also has a best man; the best man has a lot of responsibility. Typically a speech, holding the rings, planning the bachelor party. In our context {Justin chuckles}, the best man doesn't really have that much responsibility honestly. He stands up there. His job is to not fall over and to hand the rings and to maybe say,\u00a0you know, to say a speech at the dinner, and to maybe plan a bachelor party.\n\nIn a Jewish wedding, though, the best man had quite a bit more. He was supposed to actually present the bride. So, not the our culture, it would be the father.\u00a0Now, a Jewish wedding ceremony included all kinds of things. It can be seven days, so certainly our context for what a wedding looks like and the Jewish context for what a wedding would look like are incredibly different.\n\nBut the bride and groom analogy is used throughout the New Testament. The bride is the church, the groom is Jesus, and it seems as if John the Baptist is positioning himself as the best man. He played an important role. The best man, you know, they get dressed up nice, they hold the hand of the bride, take her to the groom, and it's easy maybe to mistake him for the groom for a moment. He's dressed up nice, he's standing next to the bride, maybe they're even...arms locked. But that's not who he is, and so his disciples maybe have seen him and said, 'Hmmm. That looks like the Messiah. But really he was delivering, you could say, he was handing the bride (the church) to Jesus, preparing the way. This is what John the Baptist was doing.\n\nJohn knows his role, and John knows his purpose, and John is determined to stay in his lane. And from that place, he gives us one of the most profound Tweetables of this entire series that we've been in. It might be our smallest but potentially the most difficult to live out and to put into action in our lives. And this is our last Tweetable of the summer. Here it goes. Here's what it is, John 3:30.\n\nHe must become greater; I must become less. Other translations say it this way: \"He must increase, and I must decrease.\" Imagine a best man that tries to steal the show at a wedding. What does that look like? That would look crazy. If you attended that wedding, it would be embarrassing to watch.\n\nAnd then I thought to myself, I think I saw a video...not where like a best man intentionally tried to steal a wedding, but where he did {Justin chuckles}. The video, we showed it on Sunday.\u00a0Obviously this doesn't work over the format of podcast audio. {Note: Since this is the blog version, the spoken description of the scene appears after the embedded video below.)\n\nBut you see the zoom-in of the bride, the groom, and the pastor; and they're standing on this like elevated platform, and there's like two steps up to them, and the pastor just gets done feeding the bride the last vow that she speaks. And at that moment, he asks the best man to present the rings. The best man is staring off into space, just completely absent what's happening. You can tell he's not really paying much attention, pretty much what most best men do in this moment, and so he catches attention, realizes the pastor's talking to him, obviously gets a little rushed because he's like, oh, man, I'm messing up my one part in this wedding.\n\nSo he hustles and hightails it up the two stairs. He trips as he's pulling the rings out of his pocket, and when he trips, he bumps into the bride and into the pastor, who are on this elevated platform with a pool behind them. And the bride and the pastor {Justin laughing} fall into the water right here at this moment during the middle of their wedding. Now it's pretty hilarious. If you YouTube that, just YouTube 'bride falls in pool,' and I'm sure it's like got a million hits at ten different videos.\n\nBut anyway, the funniest part about that is the bridesmaids start laughing and then they catch themselves laughing, and then they're like, 'Oh, don't laugh. This is serious. This is not good.' And so imagine, though, as that bride and groom think about their wedding, they're probably not super satisfied about how that went. That wasn't in the plans. The best man didn't do his job and get out of the way. The best man is the thing most people are going to remember about that wedding.\n\nSo John shares this principle with us of like, I know my role, I'm the best man, I'm here to prepare the way for this marriage. And this principle to him, he makes it personal. Jesus must become greater, and I must become less.\n\nBut hey, we live in a world that throws us lie after lie, and they're so easy to buy into. So lie #1 that we buy into that makes it very difficult for us to live out John 3:30:\n\nLive in a way that increases your possessions. We desire stuff: newest, best, most up-to-date, accumulate more and more. And this is the story we're told. We can become people who live our life for the next purchase. Life becomes something that gets us to the next purchase, to the next vacation, to the next experience, but this isn't how we were designed to live. When we live this way, we've bought into a lie. We've bought into the reality that our possessions may very well possess us. So lie #1 that keeps us from living this John 3:30 principle is that we live in a way that increases our possessions.\n\nWe can also live in a way that increases our position. That's a lie we're told. We're told live in a way that increases your position. You know, we all want to probably be more powerful. We all probably want to be more respected. Many of us want to be first. We want our team to finish first if we're at work or for watching a sports team. We desire to position ourselves on the top. As the great philosopher and theologian said, Ricky Bobby, once said, \"If you ain't first, you're last.\" Right? {Justin laughs}\n\nAnd so we buy into this type of lie that we need to position our life around being first. And there's this show on Netflix called House of Cards that I watch, and I remember one point in House of Cards where the main character, Francis Underwood, was talking to another politician. They were doing some kind of behind-the-scenes shady business, which probably is what actually happens in politics nowadays.\n\nAnd sometimes when you watch House of is a mature show, so if that's something you're into, awesome, but it's interesting because Francis is this character who's really dark and is this character you follow, and sometimes he'll step away from a scene that he's in, and he'll narrate a scene. And you realize as you're watching're watching the conversation but you don't necessarily always know what he's thinking. But he'll step away and tell you what he's thinking. And so after this scene with", "base_doc": " ceremonial washing.\" And really quick we'll just stop there. Ceremonial washing was this...I guess ritual that you would do as you went into the temple. You would also do it in other spaces where you would clean yourself. It was a picture of you being clean enough to enter into the temple, clean enough as you entered further into the temple, you would do more and more ceremonial washing. Well, John is baptizing and so most likely what they're arguing about is what's the difference between baptism, what's the difference between ceremonial washing. I'm sure that was a huge debate at that time. So that continues...that conversation's happening, but then really the root of what's happening here is in this next verse. I think it's verse 26.\n\n\"They came to John and said to him, 'Rabbi, that man who is with you on the other side of the Jordan, the one you testified about,' which is Jesus, \"look, He is baptizing and everyone is going to Him.\" And everyone is going to Him. Now, all of this debate of the day about ceremonial washing and baptism, that's not really what's happening here. What seems to be happening is the debate, whatever it was, moved quickly to point out that Jesus is more popular than we are. Jesus is baptizing and everyone's going to Him, but John you started this whole baptism thing. In essence, Jesus is stealing all of our converts, everyone's going to Him, what do we do, John?\u00a0You could say John's disciples have this competitive mindset.

Perhaps it's a way for the hosts to become fully sentient, so maybe we're about to see Dolores go full human?\n\n\nNow that we're on the subject, what is the Man in Black's name?\n\n\nThe most likely scenario we'll see play out in the finale is a reveal showing the Man in Black to be William. We know there are multiple time frames being shown, and the Man in Black exists in the \"present\" while William's plot takes place about 30 years ago.\n\nThere are many clues which give this theory credence, so it's just a matter of the finale offering up some indisputable confirmation. We're hoping the speculation won't be dragged into a second season, and we'll finally know for certain by Sunday.\n\n\nWhat happened to Stubbs?\n\n\nA small, but important scene from episode nine showed Stubbs entering Westworld to try and find Elsie. He was attacked by Ghost Nation hosts \u2014 but they didn't move to injure him. Instead he was tackled, leading us to assume that he's currently alive but being held somewhere.\n\nWho set this trap? Was it Elsie herself, or someone else like Ford who wanted Stubbs out of the way?\n\n\nIs Elsie still alive, and did she figure out a way to bring Stubbs to her?\n\n\nWe assumed Elsie was killed by Bernard based on the flashbacks we saw of him choking her. But maybe this was a misdirection? Ford and Bernard have never explicitly said she was dead. When Bernard asked Ford what he did to her, this was the reply: \"We've had to make some uncomfortable decisions, Bernard.\"\n\nWhen Stubbs saw Elsie's device pinging it said she was in Sector 20 \u2014 but she was attacked by Bernard in Sector 3. It's plausible she is still alive and set a trap in order to bring Stubbs to her. Or maybe she's really, really dead and we have to move on. Either way, we'd like some answers about that mysterious device moving of its own accord.\n\n\nWhat was the \"critical failure\" that happened over 30 years ago?\n\n\nThis is a question we've had since the pilot, when Bernard was speaking with Stubbs and Theresa Cullen about the new update. \"The park hasn't had a critical failure in over 30 years,\" Bernard told Theresa.\n\n\"Meaning we're overdue,\" she replied.\n\nAgain, knowing that we're seeing multiple time frames, we're hoping to see this critical failure for ourselves. The failure likely involves Dolores, William, and Logan \u2014 since we know their story is taking place around 30 years ago. This will probably be a big focus of the finale.\n\n\nWhat does the \"real world\" look like? Will Maeve even want to live out there?\n\n\nThere must be a reason why the audience has yet to see the \"real world\" outside of Westworld. We don't even technically know where in the world the park is (assuming its not on another planet). So what's out there? Dolores raised this point herself in episode nine when talking to William and Logan.\n\n\"You both keep assuming that I want 'out' \u2014 whatever that is,\" Dolores said. \"If it's such a wonderful place out there, why are you all clamoring to get in here?\"\n\nThe slightly uncomfortable look Logan gave William after this makes us think she's onto something.\n\n\nAnd finally \u2014 how many humans will die at the hands of hosts?\n\nJohn P. Johnson/HBO\n\nTheresa was the first \u2014 and unexpected \u2014 human victim who died at the hands of a host. But we doubt the season will end without more bloodshed. Maeve's escape plan alone looks like it involves attacking more employees, and (as stated earlier) we have our doubts about the Delos board surviving the episode.\n\nThe question remaining is more about quantity, and how brutal things will get before the end.\n\nSEE ALSO: A major 'Westworld' finale reveal could involve Dolores' murderous past\n\nDON'T MISS: Arnold is the mysterious cause of conflict in 'Westworld' \u2014 here's what you should know heading into the finale\n\nMore: Features Westworld HBO<|endoftext|>In November 2016, the FSB and the BIS agreed to a further five-year extension of the agreement from January 2018 to 2023.<|endoftext|>Members Login: Remember Me Need your login details?\n\nPortsmouth WEA Local History Books\n\nThe\u00a0Portsmouth Workers Education Association (WEA), an adult education group, has a local history group who write a splendid series of publications concerning the history of Portsmouth.\n\nThe books cover various areas of Portsmouth and contain fascinating detail of the streets and houses within the area, using early records from Portsmouth record office.

If you know of any other software using the PUT file extension, please contact us so that we can update our information accordingly.)\n\nOpening PUT Files\n\nThe easiest way to open a PUT file is by double clicking on it, which will let the computer decide the best way to open it according to the Windows PUT file association settings.\n\nIf your computer opens your PUT file, but it's the incorrect application, you'll need to change your Windows registry file association settings. In other words, Windows is associating PUT file extensions with the wrong software program.\n\n\n\nIf the PUT file fails to open, it is highly likely that your system lacks the application needed to open PUT files. It is common for several applications to share the same PUT file extension label, so it could take some trial and error to figure out what application actually opens your file (if any).\n\nThus, I highly recommend that you contact the source of your file for more details on what program you need to open your PUT file. This will save your a lot of time and headaches!\n\n\nIs Your PC Healthy?\n\n\nHappy Computing! :)\n\nWally's Answer Rating\n\nQuick Solution (How fast can you do it?)\nEasy Solution (How easy is it?)\nBeginner-Friendly (Recommended for beginners?)\n\n\n\nOverall Rating\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\nComments are closed.<|endoftext|>Salicylate whistle\n\n\nBurn Rate: 7.9 - 8.0 mm/s\n\nDespite the stabilizer it is still quite a sensitive composition. It should be pressed, not rammed, into tubes.\n\nSome say drying on paper causes too much of the stabilizer to be wicked out and lost leaving an overly sensitive composition, but I haven't experienced this problem in practice. However I use kitchen wrap rather than kraft which tends to be more 'hairy' and absorbent.\n\nIt is quite a good nozzleless rocket propellant, a short core (about 2-3 IDs of the case long) is useful, but too large and the rocket will explode.\n\nTry to achieve a completely homogeneous composition for best performance. If there are any white flakes visible re-wet with solvent and rub through a screen over and over until is it completely, consistently, pink.\n\nMore petroleum jelly can be used if you experience unresolvable explosions, try 5 parts. Sodium Benzoate can replace the Sodium Salicylate one-for-one for a somewhat less powerful composition.\n\nPotassium Salicylate is a less hygroscopic replacement for the Sodium version but is much harder to source.\n\nCopper Salicylate can be used to achieve pale-blue tailed rockets but they won't whistle. The Copper Salicylate has to be very dry, and keeping it that way is a challenge.\n\nA few percent Titanium flake can be added for white sparks. Note however that adding Titanium or other metals sensitizes the composition significantly. It is very unwise to sieve a metal containing whistle composition! Prepare the whistle first and sieve it well then mix in the metal by diapering. Do so in small quantities for best safety.\n\n\n\nPre-screen the Potassium Perchlorate several times. Screen the Iron Oxide and Sodium Salicylate together well.\n\nDissolve Petroleum Jelly in a small quantity of Petroleum Spirits (or other suitable solvent) warming gently on a water bath, dilute sufficiently to allow full wetting the combined quantity of composition.\n\nMix solution with Sodium Salicylate and Iron Oxide mixture and stir to wet completely.

Was it Elsie herself, or someone else like Ford who wanted Stubbs out of the way?\n\n\nIs Elsie still alive, and did she figure out a way to bring Stubbs to her?\n\n\nWe assumed Elsie was killed by Bernard based on the flashbacks we saw of him choking her. But maybe this was a misdirection? Ford and Bernard have never explicitly said she was dead. When Bernard asked Ford what he did to her, this was the reply: \"We've had to make some uncomfortable decisions, Bernard.\"\n\nWhen Stubbs saw Elsie's device pinging it said she was in Sector 20 \u2014 but she was attacked by Bernard in Sector 3. It's plausible she is still alive and set a trap in order to bring Stubbs to her. Or maybe she's really, really dead and we have to move on. Either way, we'd like some answers about that mysterious device moving of its own accord.\n\n\nWhat was the \"critical failure\" that happened over 30 years ago?\n\n\nThis is a question we've had since the pilot, when Bernard was speaking with Stubbs and Theresa Cullen about the new update. \"The park hasn't had a critical failure in over 30 years,\" Bernard told Theresa.\n\n\"Meaning we're overdue,\" she replied.\n\nAgain, knowing that we're seeing multiple time frames, we're hoping to see this critical failure for ourselves. The failure likely involves Dolores, William, and Logan \u2014 since we know their story is taking place around 30 years ago. This will probably be a big focus of the finale.\n\n\nWhat does the \"real world\" look like? Will Maeve even want to live out there?\n\n\nThere must be a reason why the audience has yet to see the \"real world\" outside of Westworld. We don't even technically know where in the world the park is (assuming its not on another planet). So what's out there? Dolores raised this point herself in episode nine when talking to William and Logan.\n\n\"You both keep assuming that I want 'out' \u2014 whatever that is,\" Dolores said. \"If it's such a wonderful place out there, why are you all clamoring to get in here?\"\n\nThe slightly uncomfortable look Logan gave William after this makes us think she's onto something.\n\n\nAnd finally \u2014 how many humans will die at the hands of hosts?\n\nJohn P. Johnson/HBO\n\nTheresa was the first \u2014 and unexpected \u2014 human victim who died at the hands of a host. But we doubt the season will end without more bloodshed. Maeve's escape plan alone looks like it involves attacking more employees, and (as stated earlier) we have our doubts about the Delos board surviving the episode.\n\nThe question remaining is more about quantity, and how brutal things will get before the end.\n\nSEE ALSO: A major 'Westworld' finale reveal could involve Dolores' murderous past\n\nDON'T MISS: Arnold is the mysterious cause of conflict in 'Westworld' \u2014 here's what you should know heading into the finale\n\nMore: Features Westworld HBO<|endoftext|>Members Login: Remember Me Need your login details?\n\nPortsmouth WEA Local History Books\n\nThe\u00a0Portsmouth Workers Education Association (WEA), an adult education group, has a local history group who write a splendid series of publications concerning the history of Portsmouth.\n\nThe books cover various areas of Portsmouth and contain fascinating detail of the streets and houses within the area, using early records from Portsmouth record office.

If you know of any other software using the PUT file extension, please contact us so that we can update our information accordingly.)\n\nOpening PUT Files\n\nThe easiest way to open a PUT file is by double clicking on it, which will let the computer decide the best way to open it according to the Windows PUT file association settings.\n\nIf your computer opens your PUT file, but it's the incorrect application, you'll need to change your Windows registry file association settings. In other words, Windows is associating PUT file extensions with the wrong software program.\n\n\n\nIf the PUT file fails to open, it is highly likely that your system lacks the application needed to open PUT files. It is common for several applications to share the same PUT file extension label, so it could take some trial and error to figure out what application actually opens your file (if any).\n\nThus, I highly recommend that you contact the source of your file for more details on what program you need to open your PUT file.

But we need to start saying it, and meaning it.\n\nThe President is calling for a Spending Freeze, in a manner that nearly everybody recognizes as a meaningless facade. Rasmussen\u2019s latest poll indicates that fewer than 10% of Americans believe that the spending freeze called for in the President\u2019s State of the Union address will actually reduce the deficit a significant amount. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen a poll showing greater disbelief from the American people on any topic.\n\nBut the act of actually calling for the freeze indicates that the President\u2019s focus group watchers know that the people want somehow to reduce these deficits dramatically.\n\nNotice that last phrase: \u201creduce these deficits.\u201d The Obama administration claims to be pursuing the goal of reducing the deficits to only 3% of Gross Domestic Product by 2015. Is that a suitable goal? Not at all: with the US GDP hovering a bit over $14 trillion, what it means is that when the administration reaches its goal, we\u2019ll only be adding another $420 billion in new debt every year. I\u2019ll repeat that: when Obama reaches the place where he considers the US to be acting responsibly, we will be adding another $420 billion to the national debt \u2014 every year.\n\nMeanwhile, the current budget, assuming the President is not being overly optimistic about tax revenues (which we all know he is,) calls for a deficit equal to 10.6% of GDP. Again, let me repeat that: the amount that the government will be spending beyond what the government will receive in revenue is greater than 10% of what the entire nation will produce this year.\n\nWho says spending is out of control?\n\nIt\u2019s time to revisit the difference between a deficit and a debt. Because we can\u2019t afford to aim at deficit reduction sometime in the future. If the US economy is to survive as a first world economy, we have to aim for debt reduction, and that right soon.\n\nA deficit occurs when you spend more money than you make in a given year. I earn $50,000 a year (hypothetically): I actually spend $52,000 in that year. Where does the extra $2,000 come from? Well, I put it on a credit card. At the end of the year, I owe the credit card company $2,000. The deficit is $2,000, the debt is also $2,000.\n\nThen I do it again: the next year, I earn $50,000, but spend $52,000. I borrow another $2,000 from the same credit card company. The deficit is $2,000, but now (because I have not paid off the debt from last year) the total debt is $4,000. \u201cDeficit\u201d refers to yearly budget figures; \u201cdebt\u201d refers to what we owe overall.\n\nEvery year I do this again, I maintain a deficit of $2,000, but my debt keeps getting deeper and deeper. And because we all know from experience that debt is not free, the amount of my $50,000 that I have to spend just to keep the credit card company from hounding me with collection calls keeps getting larger.\n\nThis is the current state of the US federal government, the reason why the Chinese are starting to bail on Treasury bills, and why interest rates are starting to climb. I wrote about it back in December, noting that we\u2019re quickly approaching the point where the interest to service the national debt will exceed all discretionary, non-military spending. That\u2019s the built-in, annual deficit. Meanwhile, the Senate has just raised the debt ceiling for the US another $2 trillion, to $14.3 trillion. Our total debt is approaching the nation\u2019s total production, and we\u2019re now adding nearly $2 trillion in new debt every year.\n\nIf my hypothetical family had been spending so irresponsibly that I was approaching credit card debt equal to my annual income, the solution would be plain and dramatic: I would need to stop spending immediately, and go into a radical program of debt reduction. I would have to set up a budget on which I was living on considerably less than my $50,000 annual income \u2014 making lifestyle choices that made that possible, like cutting out all entertainment expenditures, eating beans and rice instead of steak and shrimp, and patching clothes when they wore out \u2014 and aggressively pay down the credit card debt until it reached zero.\n\nTo speak of shaving the size of the federal deficit at this moment would be like my hypothetical family agreeing to put only $1,750 dollars onto the credit card this year, instead of $2,000 . (To speak of subsuming 1/7 of the US economy for health care at this moment is like that family trying to purchase a five-million-dollar yacht. It\u2019s criminal.) We do not need to gradually reduce the deficit. We need to dramatically and immediately move to reduce the debt.\n\nThis means moving immediately to solve Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and federal pensions in such a way as to move all four onto actuarially sound financial footing. This means cutting benefits. Sorry, that\u2019s a fact.\n\nI detested President Clinton for his routine flouting of the law and his narcissism; but the greatest crime of the Clinton administration was not undermining citizens\u2019 legitimate lawsuits, nor was it putting US policy up for sale. His greatest crime was squandering an opportunity to solve the approaching fiscal bomb of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. He had a good economy, and he was popular; the political times were ripe for making Social Security partly private (as all European socialist nations have done) and trimming Medicare and Medicaid to conform to the real world. Instead, he chose to play accounting tricks to make the good economic times seem better than they were and secure his legacy in the history books.\n\nBut the problem is not just Clinton\u2019s: Medicare and Medicaid date from Johnson\u2019s Great Society, Social Security from the New Deal, and no administration since, Democrat or Republican, has addressed the obvious actuarial imbalance in those programs. It was plain that these programs could not continue as they were, but nobody did anything about them. George W. Bush made a half-hearted wave in the direction of solving Social Security, but surrendered without a fight in the face of a Democratic party public relations onslaught, even though he was a second-term President with nothing to lose. And today, with the Democrats playing Russian Roulette with $2 trillion annual deficits, Republicans are merely squawking about possible tax increases.\n\nI\u2019ve got bad news: if the US is ever going to return to fiscal sanity, some tax increases will have to happen. I\u2019m sorry, but it\u2019s a fact.\n\nBut saying so is not enough, not by 1/10. The first, second, third, sixteenth, and three hundredth steps have to be hard, unyielding, persistent cutting of federal spending \u2014 and that means persistent reduction in federal power. We must declare full-out war against government spending. Everything has to be cut. Everything. Every program you like has to be reduced. Unnecessary departments have to be eliminated. Mandates have to be dismantled. Projects spanning multiple presidential administrations need to be established to seek out, examine, and ultimate eliminate 9/10 of the nonsense currently performed by the federal government. We have to agree to give up the big items. Including reductions in the military. There, I said it.\n\nBeans and rice instead of steak and shrimp \u2014 for the rest of our lives, and then some. We\u2019ve got $12 trillion to pay back. That\u2019s reality. There is no other way.\n\nAnd fellow Boomers, we\u2019ve had a nice run, but it\u2019s time to pay the piper. Our ancestors paid hard prices to rescue the nation from danger in the past, fought wars and suffered depressions and so forth. It\u2019s our turn. If the Obama administration forced us to accept health care rationing while pretending to serve us, that would be tyranny. But we can choose to cut our own benefits willingly, for the benefit of our children. Maybe we didn\u2019t break it, but we enjoyed it, it\u2019s our job to fix it \u2014 and if we do it willingly, it\u2019s not tyranny.\n\nIf the Tea Party movement, currently more popular than either Democrats or Republicans, is to produce anything of value, it will have to be this: elect one Representative after another, and one Senator after another, who pledges to cut into government spending enough to reduce the debt, not just the deficit. And then, hold them accountable for doing so, and \u2014 this part is crucial \u2014 not go berserk and hand the government over to tax-and-spend Democrats every time a Congress acts responsibly and cuts some program we like. Let\u2019s be adults.\n\nIt\u2019s either that, or get used to living in Argentina. \u2018Cause that\u2019s what the US is going to become if we don\u2019t start reducing the debt.\n\nThe original article can be seen at http://www.plumbbobblog.com/?p=6601.\n\nGet Alerts<|endoftext|>Skip to content\n\nStudy this free course\n\n\nSexuality, parenthood and population\n\n\nUnit image\n\nSexuality and parenthood encompass some of the most ordinary and yet most profound experiences that life has to", "base_doc": " About Us Cartoons Submissions\nSubscribe Contact Links Humor Archive Login<|endoftext|>A New Political Term: Debt Reduction\n\nI\u2019m officially creating a new political term today: Debt Reduction.\n\nYeah, I know it\u2019s not original.

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

Gillis spoke out to the media before Game 7, calling for an \u201ceven playing field\u201d while griping about a Bryan Bickell hit on Kevin Bieska.\n\nIt seemed like Gillis was going to get off the hook for his remarks, but the NHL changed its mind today and handed him a fine for an undisclosed amount, according to various sources.\n\nObviously it\u2019s tough to know how much Gillis regrets his remarks without knowing the amount of the fine, but my guess is that he\u2019s fine with his decision. Especially with the bottom line reality being that his team survived a serious scare to make it to the second round of the playoffs.\n\nBoth the Canucks and Blackhawks received two penalties each in the game. Even with a rare penalty on Alex Burrows very early in the overtime period, it seemed like the referees \u201clet them play the game\u201d last night. It\u2019s much more likely that they did so because of the stakes in a Game 7 rather than the criticisms laid out by Gillis, but you never know. Maybe his comments shined just that extra bit of spotlight on the officials\u2019 performance.\n\nEither way, something tells me that Gillis is in a good mood today, even if his wallet is a little lighter.\n\n 1. macjacmccoy - Apr 27, 2011 at 9:09 PM\n\n Imagine if the NHL fined you for whining about injuries.

Gillis spoke out to the media before Game 7, calling for an \u201ceven playing field\u201d while griping about a Bryan Bickell hit on Kevin Bieska.\n\nIt seemed like Gillis was going to get off the hook for his remarks, but the NHL changed its mind today and handed him a fine for an undisclosed amount, according to various sources.\n\nObviously it\u2019s tough to know how much Gillis regrets his remarks without knowing the amount of the fine, but my guess is that he\u2019s fine with his decision. Especially with the bottom line reality being that his team survived a serious scare to make it to the second round of the playoffs.\n\nBoth the Canucks and Blackhawks received two penalties each in the game. Even with a rare penalty on Alex Burrows very early in the overtime period, it seemed like the referees \u201clet them play the game\u201d last night. It\u2019s much more likely that they did so because of the stakes in a Game 7 rather than the criticisms laid out by Gillis, but you never know. Maybe his comments shined just that extra bit of spotlight on the officials\u2019 performance.\n\nEither way, something tells me that Gillis is in a good mood today, even if his wallet is a little lighter.\n\n 1. macjacmccoy - Apr 27, 2011 at 9:09 PM\n\n Imagine if the NHL fined you for whining about injuries.

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

How many of us come to the word God neutral? I was raised an atheist, I have had studied Christian theology and western and eastern philosophy, I\u2019ve had more \u2018religious\u2019 experiences than I can shake a stick at and I still stumble when I say God in public conversation.\n\nMy experiences of God are not of the traditional Judaeo-Christian description, no burning bushes, no heavenly hosts.\u00a0 My experiences are of a sense of deep peace, deep love, and a conviction that everything will be ok. \u00a0\n\nWhen describing religious experiences the mystics of all faiths use similar language.\u00a0 From Rumi, to Aquinas the themes are the same and the language is very different to the dogma that many of us are first introduced to as religion.\n\nPatanjali is a practical philosopher whose main interest is in finding ways that we can all have \u2018religious\u2019 transcendental experiences.\u00a0\n\nUp until this point Patanjali has discussed the need to practice but has given little guidance on what we practice to reveal these experiences.\u00a0 One could suggest that in this sutra Patanjali gives us our first practice, and if we nail it it can also be our only practice!\n\nWhat is the practice? To offer everything up to Isvara.\u00a0 What is Isvara?\u00a0 Isvara is the manifestation of the energy of the universe which you can personally relate to.\u00a0 Whatever that may be for you.\u00a0 The key here is that it is a manifestation of the whole and that there is a possibility for a personal connection.\u00a0 This sutra is describing the devotion of bhakti yoga, the dedication of karma yoga.\u00a0 The act of offering up, of surrendering doership, of recognising that we are a part of something bigger.\u00a0 It is not surrender in the sense of quitting.\n\nThe word pranidhana\u00a0 can be broken down into components.\n\npra:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 completely, in front.\n\nni: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 down\n\ndha: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 to place\n\ndhana:\u00a0 placing, holding\n\n\nTo place ourselves completely down in front of that manifestation of the universe we personally relate to.\n\nWe are making ourselves humble, we are removing our sense of self importance and beginning the long process of watching the ego dissolve. An alternate translation for pranidhanad is to transfer identity; again there is the sense of losing the self to find the Self.\n\n\n\n\nLeave a Reply\n\n\nWordPress.com Logo\n\n\nGoogle photo\n\n\nTwitter picture\n\n\nFacebook photo\n\n\nConnecting to %s<|endoftext|>Souli\u00e9 de Morant served several years in the French diplomatic corps in China, where he worked as French consul in several Chinese cities.<|endoftext|>Tesla sues former employee for allegedly stealing gigabytes of data, making false claims to media\n\n \u2022 Tesla is suing former process engineer Martin Tripp for allegedly illegally exporting data and making false claims to reporters.\n \u2022 The suit alleges he took his action in retaliation for being reassigned after he allegedly had job performance problems and was combative and disruptive toward fellow employees.\n\nTesla is suing a former employee for allegedly illegally exporting gigabytes of confidential data, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Nevada.\n\nThe electric car maker said it is only beginning to understand all of former process technician Martin Tripp's allegedly illegal activity.

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

Anyone who knows me knows that going with the flow is pretty much a foreign concept to me. Truly, I'm the sort of person who tries to will things into being through sheer determination.\n\nThere's this little pep talk I keep giving myself. \"There is a rock, surrounded by the rushing river. You are not the rock, holding back the flow. You are the river. You are the flow.\" Only as I'm saying it, I know it's a load of New Age bullshit, because I am so the rock. I've always been the rock. I'm always going to be the rock.\n\nSo it should surprise no one that even though I promised myself that I was *not* going to be psycho-novel-writing Mommy again, that I was *not* going to fight against the flow, and I was *not* going to start obsessing over a new novel, that has proven to be impossible for me.\n\nI'm up to 30 pages of my novel. It's only taken me a week and now I've reached the point where I'm committed to my characters. They've taken up residence in my head. They're talking to me constantly. They're interrupting my other conversations with real people. And they've forced me to write an outline.\n\nIt's the freaking point of no return.\n\nWhen type-A, obsessive-compulsive writerly types trot out the outline, you know they're committed (or need to be).\n\nThere's no turning back now.\n\nBut the problem with writing outlines (and writing novels, for that matter) is that the story doesn't come together very neatly at first. Scenes occur to you, you try to put them in a sensible order, but then your left wondering \"How exactly did we move from point A to point C? What is point B?\"\n\nAnd then you stare at the unhelpful blink of the computer cusor. You tear your hair. You pace. You growl.\n\nThe only thing you come up with is a string of colorful expletives to describe your writer's block.\n\nSo frustrating...\n\n\n 1. We sound quite similar, you and I, although I am dithering much more about my writing - and spending too much time on the blog. And feeling guilty cos I'm on the computer so much. I'm the bloody Rock too - have no idea at all how to be the River.\n\n 2. I love your analogy - most days I feel like the bit of riverweed cought in the rock - not the rock, but not flowing either! I'm exactly like you - lots of promises and still end up shouting at kids today because i wanted to get blog stuff out of the way so i could sit and write for an hour tonight. The good thing about being the rock though.... is you are the cornerstone of your family. that has to count for something.. right??\n\n 3. I wish I could give you the recipe, but unfortunately, this spinach souffle is the frozen, premade variety. I'd have no idea how to make a spinach souffle from scratch if my life depended on it.\n\n Sorry. :-(\n\n 4. aha, letting go of the writing has made the flow the writing, eh? and then as soon as you recognize it, bam! the wall.\n\n hello! this is my writing process CONSTANTLY! my muse and yours are currently sharing shots of tequila as they mess with our heads and hearts.

They had previously only been found as deep as 4 miles, though they are prevalent on many of the ocean's abyssal plains.\n\nXenophyophores are marine protozoans.

Anyone who knows me knows that going with the flow is pretty much a foreign concept to me. Truly, I'm the sort of person who tries to will things into being through sheer determination.\n\nThere's this little pep talk I keep giving myself. \"There is a rock, surrounded by the rushing river. You are not the rock, holding back the flow. You are the river. You are the flow.\" Only as I'm saying it, I know it's a load of New Age bullshit, because I am so the rock. I've always been the rock. I'm always going to be the rock.\n\nSo it should surprise no one that even though I promised myself that I was *not* going to be psycho-novel-writing Mommy again, that I was *not* going to fight against the flow, and I was *not* going to start obsessing over a new novel, that has proven to be impossible for me.\n\nI'm up to 30 pages of my novel. It's only taken me a week and now I've reached the point where I'm committed to my characters. They've taken up residence in my head. They're talking to me constantly. They're interrupting my other conversations with real people. And they've forced me to write an outline.\n\nIt's the freaking point of no return.\n\nWhen type-A, obsessive-compulsive writerly types trot out the outline, you know they're committed (or need to be).\n\nThere's no turning back now.\n\nBut the problem with writing outlines (and writing novels, for that matter) is that the story doesn't come together very neatly at first. Scenes occur to you, you try to put them in a sensible order, but then your left wondering \"How exactly did we move from point A to point C? What is point B?\"\n\nAnd then you stare at the unhelpful blink of the computer cusor. You tear your hair. You pace. You growl.\n\nThe only thing you come up with is a string of colorful expletives to describe your writer's block.\n\nSo frustrating...\n\n\n 1. We sound quite similar, you and I, although I am dithering much more about my writing - and spending too much time on the blog. And feeling guilty cos I'm on the computer so much. I'm the bloody Rock too - have no idea at all how to be the River.\n\n 2. I love your analogy - most days I feel like the bit of riverweed cought in the rock - not the rock, but not flowing either! I'm exactly like you - lots of promises and still end up shouting at kids today because i wanted to get blog stuff out of the way so i could sit and write for an hour tonight. The good thing about being the rock though.... is you are the cornerstone of your family. that has to count for something.. right??\n\n 3. I wish I could give you the recipe, but unfortunately, this spinach souffle is the frozen, premade variety. I'd have no idea how to make a spinach souffle from scratch if my life depended on it.\n\n Sorry. :-(\n\n 4. aha, letting go of the writing has made the flow the writing, eh? and then as soon as you recognize it, bam! the wall.\n\n hello! this is my writing process CONSTANTLY! my muse and yours are currently sharing shots of tequila as they mess with our heads and hearts. LOL!\n\n\nI love your comments! They make my day.\n\n\nRelated Posts Widget for Blogs by LinkWithin<|endoftext|>iQOO Neo 3 name confirmed via IMEI database\n\niQOO Nex 3\n\n\nVivo iQOO Neo 3 name has been spotted on IMEI database alongside the vivo iQOO 3.

The Vivo V1950A is likely to run on Android 10 out of the box. It measures 167.44 x 76.14 x 9.4mm and weighs 219.5 grams. It will have no physical buttons for the volume rocker and power on/off and will rely on squeeze-based gestures.\n\nVivo 1995A triple camera\n\nThe TENAA listing has renders of the phone, revealing its design that includes a curved edge display and no notch. This means it may have a pop-up selfie camera much like the Vivo Nex 3 5G.

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

Has anyone ever told you to \u201cjust relax?\u201d There\u2019s something about those words \u2014 \u00a0relax, be calm, and calm down \u2014 that trigger a deep emotional response in most of us. They just don\u2019t get it. These\u00a0stress relievers may seem simple\u00a0for most people without ALS, but some with ALS may encounter difficulty. Even if you can\u2019 do\u00a0all of them, hopefully one will suit you. If not, just modify a\u00a0technique to best suit your ability.\n\n\n\n\nWhen you have a chronic disease, it is important to properly deal with stress. When done correctly, these simple stress relievers open up natural relaxation responses that can help improve your mood and make you feel more at ease.\n\nThe National Institutes of Health (NIH)\u00a0considers relaxation exercises to be safe for most people. However, just like with exercise routines, people with serious physical health problems such as ALS\u00a0should discuss the techniques with their healthcare provider before starting a relaxation routine.\n\nThere are many viable techniques for relaxing. These include deep breathing exercises, self-hypnosis, and guided imagery. Each relaxation technique goal is to produce a natural reaction from the body. This should include: lower blood pressure, slower breathing, and a sense of well-being.\n\nWe found five easy relaxation exercises that are simple enough for most people to do in a chair or while lying in bed.\n\nThe first two relaxation tips\u00a0come from Harvard University\u00a0and the last three are from the University of Michigan.\n\n\nWhile sitting comfortably, take a few slow deep breaths and quietly repeat to yourself, \u201cI am\u201d as you breathe in and, \u201cat peace\u201d as you breathe out. Repeat slowly two or three times. Then, feel your entire body relax into the support of your chair.\n\nRaise eyebrows up and tense the muscles across the forehead and scalp. Feel the tension build and hold. Take a deep breath. As you exhale say \u201crelax\u201d while letting the tension leave your body.\n\n\nObserve your abdomen rising and falling with each breath. Inhale and press your navel toward the spine then tense your abdomen. Feel the tension build and hold it. Take in a deep breath. As you exhale say \u201crelax,\u201d and let the tension leave you.\n\nHere\u2019s a PDF with more relaxation techniques from the University of Michigan.\n\nThe NIH recognizes the relaxation response as having broad health benefits including the reduction of pain and restoration of sleep. In addition, research on the relaxation response has shown that this simple technique can increase energy and decrease fatigue. It can increase motivation, productivity, and improve decision-making ability, too. The relaxation response lowers stress hormone levels and lowers blood pressure.\n\nThe relaxation response is your personal ability to make your body release chemicals and brain signals that make your muscles and organs slow down and increase blood flow to the brain. We hope these stress reliever tips help you find a relaxation routine that suits you, so that you will continue to practice it each day.\n\nFor more tips to deal with stress or other helpful tips for ALS,\u00a0follow us on Pinterest.<|endoftext|>Share this:\n\n\" />\nPublished On: Tue, Nov 29th, 2016\n\nSomaliland:Samsam", "base_doc": " with the system or process in use.\u00a0 Our increased number of pressure regulator choices just about assures you there is one suitable for your needs in our pressure regulators line.

This means there are two professions I probably shouldn't follow - proctologist, and guitarist.\n\nHave you ever noticed how you don't get many short stocky guitar players? Brian May, Axl Rose, Mike Oldfield and to some extent Jimi Hendrix - they're all quite tall, thin types, with long thin fingers to match.\n\nI, however, have a guitar - a small guitar that could have been deliberately designed to make it almost impossible for me to arrange my fingertips on the fretboard in a way that shortens the strings correctly while not getting in the way of their vibrations. In other words, impossible for me to play.\n\nAh, but I'm not looking to play complicated melodies, and most of the time I'm just looking to play chords. And barre chords - or bar chords - where you strap your finger against the fretboard to shorten all the strings by the same amount...are easy.\n\nSo why don't I retune my guitar so playing barre chords will produce triads - the basic three note chords that even a musical ignoramus like me knows about.\n\nIt's even easier because I tend to think in minor keys, and default to A-Minor because\n(1) It suits my limited vocal range and\n(2) It's all white notes. Yes I know guitars don't have white and black notes, but I grew up with samplers, which means I grew up with keyboards.\n\nSo, if I tune the lowest pitched string to A, and the one above to C, and the third to E...and the next three to the same but an octave higher...I should be able to play my three chord masterworks without ever having to contort my fingers.\n\nUm. Provided the three chords don't include C. Or G. Because thanks to the never-quite-perfect mathematics of music, my C-chord would have a flattened E as the middle note, which would clash rather horribly with any D or E notes that any other instruments are playing. The G-chord would have a flattened B, which is almost as bad.\n\nHumph. So...what I should actually do is miss out the middle note completely - retune so adjacent strings play fifth-interval dyads. Known to rockers as...Power Chords.\n\nPower chords. If you want a big, clean sound but aren't very good at playing the guitar, power chords are your friend.

When something bad happens, you can't fight back and you're more likely to dissolve into a puddle of non-resistance than get angry. I've been getting extremely irritated at a lot of things lately, so I'm not depressed.\n\nDoctor: Getting angry can be a symptom too. Not all depressed people are wusses you know.

When something bad happens, you can't fight back and you're more likely to dissolve into a puddle of non-resistance than get angry. I've been getting extremely irritated at a lot of things lately, so I'm not depressed.\n\nDoctor: Getting angry can be a symptom too. Not all depressed people are wusses you know.

Perhaps the incredible success of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for obstructive sleep apnea is at least partially to blame, but the increasing evidence for sleep apnea phenotypes have not resulted in a meaningful translation to patient care. Taking obstructive sleep apnea, studies compare CPAP with an oral appliance, or with weight loss, or placebo, depending on the precise scientific question and the desire to show \u201cequivalence\u201d or at least clinical effectiveness (e.g., hypoglossal nerve stimulation, Provent) for aid to marketing and FDA approval.1\n\nHowever, sleep apnea in a wider sense is the end result of interactive pathophysiological processes. These include sleep fragmentation propensity, upper airway obstruction, and respiratory chemoreflex under- or over-responsiveness.2,3 Then why is it that there is so little data on combination therapies? Was there ever a clinical trial of myocardial infarction or congestive heart failure comparing unimodal therapies? Typically a pathophysiology-driven \u201cbasic cocktail\u201d is tested against a new add-on. The need for improved management strategies for sleep apnea syndromes is evident\u2014not more than 50% compliance/adherence for an apparently gold standard treatment that almost always shows sleep laboratory effectiveness, in patients seeking help for debilitating symptoms, should raise the possibility that maybe our gold is a metal of lesser worth. The clinical challenge is even greater in those with central or complex apnea and hypoventilation syndromes, where advanced modes of ventilation are being evaluated as stand-alone therapies, such as adaptive ventilation in congestive heart failure-associated periodic breathing.4 If there is one condition where sleep fragmentation, obstructive elements, and respiratory decontrol interact, it is in heart failure patients.\n\nThe paper by Chaudhuri et al.5 in this issue of the journal is an important one. Though not randomized, it seems to reasonably support the beneficial effect of supplemental oxygen in improving sleep-respiration in those with significant central sleep apnea, using a threshold of a central apnea index \u2265 5/hour of sleep. The delay in response is intriguing and likely reflects an interaction of sleep state effects (REM, stable NREM rebound) and direct biological effects of oxygen, including plausible changes in redox state. Looking closely at the data shows that stage N1 remains high, and some important information about the characteristics of the \u201coptimal response\u201d are missing (duration, sleep stage, and state). The definition of the optimal response also leaves something to be desired: is getting the CAI under 5/hour really a valid biological target? Other limitations of the paper include not scoring respiratory effort related arousals and hypopneas that do not have a 50% signal reduction. During titration, getting rid of major discrete events is relatively easier than normalizing sleep-breathing, and use of the alternate criteria when supplemental oxygen is added (thus directly modifying one of the scoring tags) can overestimate efficacy. Though periodic breathing was recognized, using the 10-minute criterion (which has no specific biological basis) will exclude shorter bursts of periodic breathing that are common in those with mixed apnea and have been well described at high altitude, the quintessential chemoreflex-induced sleep apnea model. Nevertheless, the study is a very important contribution to the literature and was just begging to be done.\n\nTable 1 lists some of the options available to target the different pathophysiological processes in sleep disordered breathing syndromes. The therapies available to overcome obstruction are relatively straightforward, and some combinations are logical (weight loss + CPAP). However, the oral appliance vs. CPAP story has taken a gladiatorial color\u2014what about combined therapy, especially those who have high pressure requirements? Most centers probably offer this on a case-by-case basis, as we do, but there may be additional potential benefits of minimizing mouth breathing and preventing an oronasal mask from pushing the jaw backwards during sleep. Positive pressure + a sedative are a logical approach to the anxious patient and those with severely fragmented sleep, and a subset of patients could benefit over the long term. The sedative could also improve blood pressure dipping,6 which is frequently abnormal in sleep apnea patients. In hypoventilation syndromes and in those with pulmonary pathology affecting gas exchange such as chronic obstructive lung disease, supplemental oxygen could be a useful adjunct to bilevel ventilation by allowing targeting both CO2 and O2 end-points; adding O2 is commonly done in clinical practice, but is there an advantage to keep the saturations closer to 98% vs. 90%? The latter target results in vulnerability to significant desaturations with changes in body position, sleep stage, mask or mouth leak, and minor respiratory events. Part of the effectiveness of Provent may relate to minimizing hypocapnia.7\n\nTargeting therapy to pathology in sleep apnea management\n\n\ntable icon\nTable\u00a01\n\nTargeting therapy to pathology in sleep apnea management\n\n(more ...)\n\nThe approach to management of various hyperresponsive chemoreflex syndromes (central and complex sleep apnea, periodic breathing) is challenging and unlikely to be solved by unimodal therapy. First, the disease needs to be properly quantified. Scoring event-by-event introduces a strong bias in the direction of obstruction, as flow-limitation is common in periodic breathing sequences. The update of respiratory scoring criteria have made a real effort to aid us in characterizing central hypopneas,8 yet leave it optional\u2014why should anything considered important be optional? If it is assumed, as stated in the article, that \u201cseparation of hypopneas into central or obstructive is not clinically indicated in the majority of patients,\u201d then we are never going to accurately phenotype sleep apnea. It is likely that there was far more \u201ccentral\u201d disease both before and after treatment in these patients than that quantified by a central apnea count. Using a 10-minute threshold to tag periodic breathing minimizes the recognition of this pattern; the new criteria more readily enable identifying periodic breathing.8 The REM vs. NREM severity difference is blurred when global apnea-hypopnea or respiratory-disturbance indices are computed; NREM dominance is characteristic of strong respiratory chemoreflex effects. The bimodality of NREM sleep, where periods of stable breathing can occur during N2, can result in the premature declaration of CPAP success in NREM-dominant sleep apnea syndromes. Second, we should have greater expectations from the definition of success. In fact, the end point of success should be the same for obstruction or central sleep apnea syndromes\u2014elimination of all respiratory events including respiratory effort related arousals, normalizing sleep quality, and optimal clinical outcomes (e.g., daytime sleepiness and fatigue, blood pressure dipping). In the Chaudhuri study, stage N1 remained markedly elevated\u2014in all probability, there was significant residual sleep apnea subthreshold to the scoring criteria used. Equally possible is that these patients have an increase in sleep fragmentation propensity independent of sleep apnea, as has been noted in complex apnea9 and congestive heart failure.10 A \u201csleep stabilizer\u201d (aka sedative) would be a logical addition here.\n\nHypocapnia driven respiratory instability is the most important factor in central apnea syndromes\u2014rebreathing approaches9 and acetazolamide are logical adjuncts, even to adaptive ventilation. The sad part is that much of the above may well remain devoid of high levels of evidence\u2014there is little incentive to study these systematically, never mind the enormous cost and little return to the use of freely available generic drugs. Sedatives have been traditionally abhorrent entities in sleep apnea management. Perhaps it is time to revisit this dogma, given: (1) the availability of sedatives with acceptable impact on respiration11 (moreover, positive pressure will protect if used at the same time); (2) the recognition of the role of arousals in amplifying sleep apnea severity; (3) induction of blood pressure dipping; and (4) beneficial effects in central apnea at sea level12 and at high-altitude,13 thus a logical option as adjunctive therapy in the hyperresponsive chemoreflex syndromes. It would make clinical sense to avoid sedatives in REM-dominant obstructive sleep apnea and reserve this approach to NREM-dominant central/complex apnea.\n\nTargeting ataxic respiration such as may occur with the use of opiates, brainstem disorders, or Parkinson disease follows no simple rule, and various combinations of positive (including adaptive) pressure, O2 and CO2 modulation, and perhaps acetazolamide, may be required.\n\nHow can the field evaluate multimodality treatment options?

Depending on the value of the boat and any special circumstances, insurance coverage for boats is often a very good idea. Here are some of the ways boat insurance can be important.\n\nWhat It Covers\n\nBoat insurance is usually purchased to cover boats with motors but can be obtained for boats without motors such as canoes and kayaks as well. Like other forms of insurance, boat insurance plans come with many different levels of coverage such as liability, medical, comprehensive and collision. Boat owners are advised to look at their situation and possibly consult an insurance agent before deciding on the amount of coverage that might be right for them. Owners should take the time to thoroughly read and understand their insurance policies so they know exactly in what ways their property is covered.\n\nWhy It\u2019s Important\n\nA boat can be a significant investment and, as with a car, that investment can easily be protected with the right insurance coverage. According to Bankrate, homeowners insurance does not cover boats in most cases. This makes it important to purchase insurance coverage tailored to the specific needs of boaters to prevent against catastrophic loss. Boat insurance can guard against financial loss if anything happens to the boat such as a collision or damage from natural causes. Boat insurance is also important because, depending on the policy, it can cover medical bills if someone is injured while boating. This is especially important if a guest is injured while on a boat and the owner is legally liable for their personal injury. Some policies cover damage due to erosion or a failed part.\n\nIt Might Be Legally Required\n\nWhile state governments often don\u2019t require individuals to carry boat insurance, some do. For example, the states of Utah and Arkansas require boat insurance in many cases. Another example would be if a boat also serves as a house. In that case, the owner may be required to carry some level of homeowners insurance on the boat. In order to use a boat in some state parks, proof of insurance may also be required. Boats that are in use for commercial purposes need to be insured to protect the company against liability and insurance may be required to license an individual boat for commercial use under state law. Commercial boat insurance policies do differ from policies for personal use, so do be aware of the purposes for which a boat will be used.\n\nWhy It Might Be Necessary\n\nWhile it is not always legally necessary to carry boat insurance, it may be required in other circumstances. Many individual marinas and boating events, for example, require owners to provide proof of boat insurance in order to dock or participate. Banks, if the boat is or will be purchased on a loan, will also usually require proof that the owner purchased boat insurance. Most boat owners will find insurance necessary, however, because they don\u2019t want to find themselves with a severely damaged, stolen or destroyed boat and no reparations.\n\nRelated Resource:\u00a010 Best Cheap Boat and Marine Insurance Companies\n\nMuch of the time, boats are significant investments and therefore having proper insurance coverage is essential. In some cases, having certain levels of coverage may be required or even legally mandated. Factoring in all of this, boat insurance is undoubtedly important to carry under many circumstances.<|endoftext|>printing Print\n\n\n\n\nNew & Reassigned Cases\n\nThe Court will set all newly-filed\u00a0and reassigned cases for an initial status hearing.\u00a0If the defendant(s) have not been served by the initial status date, counsel for plaintiff is to contact this Court's courtroom deputy to reschedule the status hearing and the date for filing an initial status report.\n\nIf no defendant has appeared, or plaintiff is seeking a default, no status report is required.\n\nThe Court will also order the parties in\u00a0all newly-filed and reassigned cases--except new cases concerning ERISA benefits, foreclosures, or John Doe copyright infringement actions--to file electronically prior to the initial status hearing\u00a0a joint written status report, not to exceed three pages in length.

When, for example, a man gets old and ill, he wants to stay put in one home (usually with his favorite wife with whom he feels most comfortable.)

The FLDS has in the past placed older widows in retirement home out of state. Don't know what they do now.\n\n 4. I would say, too often, they are pushed aside and neglected, and someone cashes their check. Just like what happens in regular society far too often.\n\n 5. Ooooh, I can relate to that since I am \"older\".\n I can only assume that they are thrown aside since they can no longer reproduce. How sad..but, that leaves room for new wives... Too bad that the old geezers can have whatever they want for as long as they want.

If I remember correctly, and I tried to google it and didn't find what I was looking for, the FLDS compound in South Dakota was specifically designed to be a home for elderly FLDS women. They retire women in/after menopause, since sex for any reason but procreation is verboten, to the compound, to live out their lives cloistered like nuns, and toiling away on FLDS business enterprises, such as cheese making plants.\n\n I am torn on this one. On one hand, it is probably a well deserved rest after birthing 10-16 children. On the other, it seems remarkably cruel to send women away after you consider them useless for sex, and further deprive them in their elder years of any affection or attention we would consider normal for a woman to expect from her \"husband.\"\n\n The founder of TAP is a cancer survivor, and never received enough help or funds when she was healthy to keep the organization running, much less so while she battled her disease.\n\n I hear she is doing well now and has relocated outside of Utah.

Even without sex.<|endoftext|>Is Boat Insurance Important?\n\nBoat insurance, like any other type of insurance, exists to protect owners against financial hardship due to loss. Depending on the value of the boat and any special circumstances, insurance coverage for boats is often a very good idea. Here are some of the ways boat insurance can be important.\n\nWhat It Covers\n\nBoat insurance is usually purchased to cover boats with motors but can be obtained for boats without motors such as canoes and kayaks as well. Like other forms of insurance, boat insurance plans come with many different levels of coverage such as liability, medical, comprehensive and collision. Boat owners are advised to look at their situation and possibly consult an insurance agent before deciding on the amount of coverage that might be right for them. Owners should take the time to thoroughly read and understand their insurance policies so they know exactly in what ways their property is covered.\n\nWhy It\u2019s Important\n\nA boat can be a significant investment and, as with a car, that investment can easily be protected with the right insurance coverage. According to Bankrate, homeowners insurance does not cover boats in most cases. This makes it important to purchase insurance coverage tailored to the specific needs of boaters to prevent against catastrophic loss. Boat insurance can guard against financial loss if anything happens to the boat such as a collision or damage from natural causes. Boat insurance is also important because, depending on the policy, it can cover medical bills if someone is injured while boating. This is especially important if a guest is injured while on a boat and the owner is legally liable for their personal injury. Some policies cover damage due to erosion or a failed part.\n\nIt Might Be Legally Required\n\nWhile state governments often don\u2019t require individuals to carry boat insurance, some do. For example, the states of Utah and Arkansas require boat insurance in many cases. Another example would be if a boat also serves as a house. In that case, the owner may be required to carry some level of homeowners insurance on the boat. In order to use a boat in some state parks, proof of insurance may also be required. Boats that are in use for commercial purposes need to be insured to protect the company against liability and insurance may be required to license an individual boat for commercial use under state law. Commercial boat insurance policies do differ from policies for personal use, so do be aware of the purposes for which a boat will be used.\n\nWhy It Might Be Necessary\n\nWhile it is not always legally necessary to carry boat insurance, it may be required in other circumstances. Many individual marinas and boating events, for example, require owners to provide proof of boat insurance in order to dock or participate. Banks, if the boat is or will be purchased on a loan, will also usually require proof that the owner purchased boat insurance. Most boat owners will find insurance necessary, however, because they don\u2019t want to find themselves with a severely damaged, stolen or destroyed boat and no reparations.\n\nRelated Resource:\u00a010 Best Cheap Boat and Marine Insurance Companies\n\nMuch of the time, boats are significant investments and therefore having proper insurance coverage is essential. In some cases, having certain levels of coverage may be required or even legally mandated. Factoring in all of this, boat insurance is undoubtedly important to carry under many circumstances.<|endoftext|>printing Print\n\n\n\n\nNew & Reassigned Cases\n\nThe Court will set all newly-filed\u00a0and reassigned cases for an initial status hearing.\u00a0If the defendant(s) have not been served by the initial status date, counsel for plaintiff is to contact this Court's courtroom deputy to reschedule the status hearing and the date for filing an initial status report.\n\nIf no defendant has appeared, or plaintiff is seeking a default, no status report is required.\n\nThe Court will also order the parties in\u00a0all newly-filed and reassigned cases--except new cases concerning ERISA benefits, foreclosures, or John Doe copyright infringement actions--to file electronically prior to the initial status hearing\u00a0a joint written status report, not to exceed three pages in length.

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

(nutri-ban)\n\nNutribun was introduced in the early 70s to public elementary school students to fill up the malnutrition and crisis during those years. This is similar to Monay bread. Each class was given the exact number of Nutriban for a very affordable price. The Nutribun costs only few cents, only about five centavos. Sapilitan eto, mura naman. The photo I've posted here is a Monay, similarly close to Nutribun.\n\nFor my everyday baon, by which I remember was only 15 centavos, the cost of nutriban for recess was more than enough to survive the day. The bread is solid without air inside and not fluffy like the ordinary Pandesal. My siblings and I would share our baon together so we could buy a soft drink to go with this bread during recess. We would share in one bottle of soda to save money from our allowance. Once we consume the whole bun, we'd feel heavy and full because it was solid and it tasted good even without fillings or palaman. Sometimes, it has bukbok inside but it did not stop us to eat, we would just take them out of our Nutribun before we proceeded to eat. In my early age, I never thought about how freshly baked it was or if the ingredients were still fresh or whether the bread could be donated for a cause and about to expire. What I only thought about it, we're lucky enough to have something to eat, to have an affordable nutritional bun for recess.\n\nMura na me free bukbok pa. I am not kidding here. It was vivid in my memories. My kids are aware about my story of nutribun. I kept telling them again and again those happy days of my nutribun years. If this program will be revived today, more students in public school will benefit, of course minus the bukbok.\n\nLaking Nutribun kaba? If so, please like this post. :)\n\nShare your Nutribun story in my comment section please. I would be more than happy to read it.\n\n\n\n\n 1. Naalala ko pa yang nutibun sis hehehe saka yung skim milk na binbigay nun dati sa school weeee. Parang ang tanda ko na lol. Buti ka pa 15 cents ako 5 cents lang binibigay ni mama wahhh. Kakatuwa balikan ang kabataan.\n\n Congratulations for being the first honor this week hehehe.\n\n 2. Oh yes I do remember nutribun very much. I do love it a lot!\n\n\n 3. Hala ang nutribun! I remember that very well, well, I've forgotten it until this minute. I've never set foot in a public school ever but guess what, they also sell nutribun in private schools. Palagi rin akong kumakain ng nutribun :D Ang saya ng post na to. Perfect for Nostalgia.\n\n 4. Hahaha, natuwa naman ako sa post na to sis! Ang nutriban, bow! 70s baby ako. Meron pang naaalala akong kasamang klim at saka yung arinang pedeng gawing pulboron. Sarap sarap! Thanks for sharing!\n\n 5. talas ng memory mo sis! naalala ko tuloy yung nutriban days ko, haha. i used to go to public school from grade 1-3 kasi pa lipat2x kami lagi at always late mgpa enroll kaya public school lang tumanggap.\n\n anyways, palagi din kaming nakatanggap ng nutribun with bukbok pa, haha. tapos minsan bigay din sila ng parang arenang pwede gawing pulboron, hehe..\n\n naaliw talaga ako sa post mo. ang saya balikan ang alaala..\n\n visiting from my nostalgia entry. thanks for dropping by my blog..\n\n 6. ang saya naman ng nutribun post na ito! noon, madalas akong mag canteener, kami nagbabantay ng nutri bun..pagtapos namin tumulong magtinda, may liber kaming nutri bun.\n\n 7. haha... classic! when i was in grade 1, nagpapabili pa si mother ng another pack for our merienda.\n\n 8. Hahahaha natwa ako sa mga comments kala ko konti lang nakakain ng nutribun lol.\n\n 9. I, too remember those days. Agawan pa kami ng mga classmates ko sa maitim na nutri bun kasi mas malasa yung medyo sunog. sa school namin may kaparis na kuwadradong cocojam na nakabalot sa plastic para ipalaman mo. If I remember right, 20-25 cents ang combo na yun.\n\n Naalaala ko rin yung mga payat naming mga classmates na pinadadala sa feeding room at pinapakain ng nutri bun at mainit na sopas para sila lumusog. Hehehe! Sila yung mga classic na lampayatot. Alaskado sila sa amin palagi kasi kasama sila sa feeding program. Malnourished ang tawag namin sa kanila. Classic bullying.\n\n 1. Aww....PROUD TO BE batang Nutribun:-Dhappiness to the Max pag Nakita ko na nutribun na pasan pasan ng klasmeyt ko na parang si Santa Claus... sobrang siksik at sarap ng lasa....

As time goes on, as DRM becomes more common, and more people get bit by it, then there will be more people who will consider the potential for DRM to break their games, and more people will care.\n\n \u2022 by Optic7 ( 688717 ) on Thursday December 04, 2008 @03:17PM (#25993689)\n Don't forget about where you can buy games that are completely DRM-free, and cheap.

(nutri-ban)\n\nNutribun was introduced in the early 70s to public elementary school students to fill up the malnutrition and crisis during those years. This is similar to Monay bread. Each class was given the exact number of Nutriban for a very affordable price. The Nutribun costs only few cents, only about five centavos. Sapilitan eto, mura naman. The photo I've posted here is a Monay, similarly close to Nutribun.\n\nFor my everyday baon, by which I remember was only 15 centavos, the cost of nutriban for recess was more than enough to survive the day. The bread is solid without air inside and not fluffy like the ordinary Pandesal. My siblings and I would share our baon together so we could buy a soft drink to go with this bread during recess. We would share in one bottle of soda to save money from our allowance. Once we consume the whole bun, we'd feel heavy and full because it was solid and it tasted good even without fillings or palaman. Sometimes, it has bukbok inside but it did not stop us to eat, we would just take them out of our Nutribun before we proceeded to eat. In my early age, I never thought about how freshly baked it was or if the ingredients were still fresh or whether the bread could be donated for a cause and about to expire. What I only thought about it, we're lucky enough to have something to eat, to have an affordable nutritional bun for recess.\n\nMura na me free bukbok pa. I am not kidding here. It was vivid in my memories. My kids are aware about my story of nutribun. I kept telling them again and again those happy days of my nutribun years. If this program will be revived today, more students in public school will benefit, of course minus the bukbok.\n\nLaking Nutribun kaba? If so, please like this post. :)\n\nShare your Nutribun story in my comment section please. I would be more than happy to read it.\n\n\n\n\n 1. Naalala ko pa yang nutibun sis hehehe saka yung skim milk na binbigay nun dati sa school weeee. Parang ang tanda ko na lol. Buti ka pa 15 cents ako 5 cents lang binibigay ni mama wahhh. Kakatuwa balikan ang kabataan.\n\n Congratulations for being the first honor this week hehehe.\n\n 2. Oh yes I do remember nutribun very much. I do love it a lot!\n\n\n 3. Hala ang nutribun! I remember that very well, well, I've forgotten it until this minute. I've never set foot in a public school ever but guess what, they also sell nutribun in private schools. Palagi rin akong kumakain ng nutribun :D Ang saya ng post na to. Perfect for Nostalgia.\n\n 4. Hahaha, natuwa naman ako sa post na to sis! Ang nutriban, bow! 70s baby ako. Meron pang naaalala akong kasamang klim at saka yung arinang pedeng gawing pulboron. Sarap sarap! Thanks for sharing!\n\n 5. talas ng memory mo sis! naalala ko tuloy yung nutriban days ko, haha. i used to go to public school from grade 1-3 kasi pa lipat2x kami lagi at always late mgpa enroll kaya public school lang tumanggap.\n\n anyways, palagi din kaming nakatanggap ng nutribun with bukbok pa, haha. tapos minsan bigay din sila ng parang arenang pwede gawing pulboron, hehe..\n\n naaliw talaga ako sa post mo. ang saya balikan ang alaala..\n\n visiting from my nostalgia entry. thanks for dropping by my blog..\n\n 6. ang saya naman ng nutribun post na ito! noon, madalas akong mag canteener, kami nagbabantay ng nutri bun..pagtapos namin tumulong magtinda, may liber kaming nutri bun.\n\n 7. haha... classic! when i was in grade 1, nagpapabili pa si mother ng another pack for our merienda.\n\n 8. Hahahaha natwa ako sa mga comments kala ko konti lang nakakain ng nutribun lol.\n\n 9. I, too remember those days. Agawan pa kami ng mga classmates ko sa maitim na nutri bun kasi mas malasa yung medyo sunog. sa school namin may kaparis na kuwadradong cocojam na nakabalot sa plastic para ipalaman mo. If I remember right, 20-25 cents ang combo na yun.\n\n Naalaala ko rin yung mga payat naming mga classmates na pinadadala sa feeding room at pinapakain ng nutri bun at mainit na sopas para sila lumusog. Hehehe! Sila yung mga classic na lampayatot. Alaskado sila sa amin palagi kasi kasama sila sa feeding program. Malnourished ang tawag namin sa kanila. Classic bullying.\n\n 1. Aww....PROUD TO BE batang Nutribun:-Dhappiness to the Max pag Nakita ko na nutribun na pasan pasan ng klasmeyt ko na parang si Santa Claus... sobrang siksik at sarap ng lasa.... I enjoyed having it tuwing recess til Grade 4, Kasi maliit na nung grade 5..... at parang monay na Lang nung 6th grade na ako..... Haiiiissst.... those were the days.....\n\n 10.

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

The question of whether one gender is superior to another, and therefore entitled to dominate the other, is a false arguement. Women and men have inherent differences that make any such comparison between them an apples to oranges comparison, and therefore a meaningless wasts of time for consideration. A better question would be, is one type of living, male led or female led, superior to the other. I see the self-empowerment of women in the modern age as a positive thing, but by and large, it is the individual woman who is excelling in the most visible ways. Many woman still seem to be choosing to be the more passive partner, and it that is their choice, it should be respected. No doubt many wan will have to adapt to societal change, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. As for out and out malicious enslavement of the male gender, that does not seem likely. One thing most poeple agree on is that if there is a genuine necessity for justified violent force, men are more naturally inclined to excel at it. I am not trying to say that an individual female cannot excel as a soldier, because they clearly can. In a one on one bloody brawl between the average man and the average woman, of idnetical fighting skill, the man has an inherent advantage. That alone is succifient reason for both genders to avoid the kind of slaver that is expressed in the opening question.\n\nIanMay 30 2011 8:20pm\nPlease pardon all the typos.\n\nIanMay 30 2011 8:22pm\nA lot of people in this thread talk about women eventually taking over throgh economic power.

So I believe that a female dominated world is inevitible. Marriage should become slavery for the male. The woman should also punish her male-slave with a whip or paddle whenever he displeases her in any way. Also, since giving the woman sexual pleasure would be the male's most important duty, only the best-looking, strongest males with the biggest penises should be allowed to breed. The role of the male should be srtictly servile.\n\nFemSupremeDec 04 2011 7:48pm\nI deserve to be enslaved by women. I'm small in stature, not strong, small penis, wimpy.

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

I think there were signs in his background that gave hints of certain things that were essentially ignored.\u201d Counsel discussed \u201call of these things and a few others\u201d with defendant and counsel believed he \u201cunderstands them thoroughly.\u201d Defendant told counsel he did not \u201cwant to put his family through the ordeal of having to testify here.\u201d He also preferred the death penalty to serving a term of life without the possibility of parole. Accordingly, defendant made a choice not to present mitigating evidence or to cross-examine the prosecution's witnesses. Counsel also represented that defendant wished to absent himself entirely from the penalty phase, except for his own testimony, and that he would stipulate to any identification of him by the prosecution witnesses.\n\nThe trial court questioned defendant at length. Defendant confirmed that he had met with defense counsel and the investigator to discuss the penalty phase. It was his desire to forgo mitigating evidence, cross-examination, and his presence during trial. Defendant understood that these actions \u201ccould be an advantage to the prosecution\u201d and that \u201cthere's a good likelihood that the jury's going to come back with a recommendation of the death penalty[.]\u201d He confirmed that he had \u201cgiven this a lot of thought .\u201d When the court asked why he wanted to proceed in such a fashion, defendant responded, \u201cI'd rather do a death sentence than do life without.\u201d The court explained that it would be \u201cdifficult, if not impossible\u201d to successfully appeal on these issues. Defendant stated he understood. When asked if he wanted more time to think about his decision, defendant stated: \u201cI've been thinking about this since 1992,[10 ] either bad or good deciding what I was going to do if I was convicted of this crime. I made that decision with my attorney that I would accept that. I would much rather have a death sentence than a life sentence.\u201d Defendant had not been taking any medication or suffering from an illness that would impair his ability to think clearly. Defendant yet again affirmed his desire to present no mitigation and be absent from proceedings. The court found \u201cthat the defendant's wishes regarding the penalty phase are informed, they're voluntary, and they're given intelligently.\u201d\n\nAs noted, several prosecution witnesses described other offenses committed by defendant. (Pen.Code, \u00a7 190.3, factor (b).) Defense counsel did not cross-examine. Defendant testified and denied killing April and committing most of the offenses described at the penalty phase, then expressed his preference for the death penalty. During closing argument, defense counsel repeated defendant's desire for the death penalty and simply urged the jury to \u201cfollow the law.\u201d\n\n\u201c \u2018In assessing claims of ineffective assistance of trial counsel, we consider whether counsel's representation fell below an objective standard of reasonableness under prevailing professional norms and whether the defendant suffered prejudice to a reasonable probability, that is, a probability sufficient to undermine confidence in the outcome.

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

Lang observed \u201cthat defendant predicates the claim of ineffective assistance solely on his trial counsel's action in yielding to his demand, and not on any antecedent act or omission of counsel.\u201d (Ibid.)\n\nSubsequent cases have applied Bloom and Lang. For example, People v. Sanders (1990) 51 Cal.3d 471, concluded defense counsel did not render ineffective assistance by acceding to the defendant's request to forgo mitigating evidence: \u201cAt least in the absence of evidence showing counsel failed to investigate available mitigating evidence or advise defendant of its significance [citation], we cannot say defendant's trial attorney provided ineffective assistance of counsel.\u201d (Id. at p. 526, fn. omitted.) The defendant attempted to distinguish prior cases by noting \u201che presented absolutely no mitigating evidence in this case,\u201d but Sanders found no grounds for reversal: \u201cDefendant's knowing and voluntary decision to forgo his right to present mitigating evidence, cross-examine adverse witnesses, and present closing argument at the penalty phase of his trial estops him from now claiming an entitlement to a reversal based on those decisions.\u201d (Id. at p. 527, citing Lang, supra, 49 Cal.3d at pp. 1031\u20131032; see also In re Avena (1996) 12 Cal.4th 694, 731\u2013732 [noting Deere I has been disapproved to the extent it held counsel necessarily renders ineffective assistance by acquiescing in his client", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 93252, "pt_loc": 32159450, "pt_shuffle_idx": 166786941, "doc_index_f": 261456229, "doc_index_l": 261456229, "offset_f": 9843, "offset_l": 11891, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 29, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": "?\n\nDo you know of any other instances where supply chain management had such a large impact in two or more competing companies? What were the results?\n\n\n15 thoughts on \u201cA tale of two companies\n\n 1. I personally do not think Kmart will be able to make a comeback. It has gotten to the point where companies like Walmart and Target are just to big and successful to have competition from a business like Kmart. I don\u2019t even know where a Kmart is off the top of my head but I know where several Walmarts are in my area alone. When consumers want something from a discount store I don\u2019t think Kmart comes to mind. It would be interesting to see if they increased supply chain management in the 90s if they would be as successful as Walmart, or if it was only a matter of time before Walmart took over anyway.\n\n 2. I do not think Kmart will make a comeback. Walmart and other stores are the leaders and have more information and research in the field. Kmart is playing catchup while driving a corolla while walmart is in a lambo. Kmart simply cannot compete with the prices and scale of walmart. That being said, i would rather shop at target and pay a little more not to have to walk into a walmart.\n\n 3. I don\u2019t believe that Kmart can make a comeback. They seem too far behind at this point. I remember there used to be a time where Kmart was everywhere and in the past ten years, I have seen only a few Kmart stores around and they aren\u2019t usually located in heavily populated areas when I had come across them. Unfortunately Walmart took over and to me it seems like Kmart will dwindle until it is no more. The only other two companies I can really think of that relate would be Walmart and Target. I had completed a project regarding Walmart and Target last year and the results showed that people were more willing to go to a Target regardless of how far it was and spend a little bit more money just to avoid Walmart.\n\n 4. Like everyone above stated, I don\u2019t think Kmart will be able to make a comeback. Not many people know about Kmarts, so replacing stores would seem to be pointless. They might fight to keep the remaining stores open, but they won\u2019t be able to scratch the surface of the control that a Walmart has. The stores will probably lose money until Kmart becomes a thing of the past. It almost seems to be Walmart\u2019s specialty, low prices and closing other stores.\n\n 5. K mart should just take the loss as it probably won\u2019t make a comeback. I still don\u2019t know how there\u2019s one still open a few blocks from my place. K mart has developed a weak reputation, making Walmart and other top retailers even stronger. If K had some stand out qualities that differentiated itself from Walmart, than maybe it would do a little better, but to me, the one I have been to is unorganized, contains old cash registers, and charges way more for its products than Walmart.\n\n 6. I believe that Kmart will be unable to reestablish the same credibility that used to prioritize low prices over high-end merchandse and will therefore be unable to make a comeback. As previously stated, Kmart thrived from it\u2019s efficient supply chain management and even if those methods were to be reinstated, Kmart seems to be well on its way to bankruptcy unless remedial measures are taken.\n Similarly, General Motors Bankruptcy in 2009 us using factory and supply chain management methods to make a comeback which goes to show that efficient supply chain management is essential to the success of large scale buisninesses.\n\n 7. I think kmart had a good chance of catching up when they combined with sears, but then after awhile I feel the store started to go back into its old ways and the foot traffic started to go away. I would love for Kmart to pick it self back up because I hate going to Wal mart along with the time of people that usually shop there it can get sketchy parts of the day. Target is always my main choice of shopping they seem to have a well developed store that is always clean and well ran.\n\n 8. I agree with your blog post that supply chain management can be an integral part to a business\u2019 success and I find that to be particularly true in the case of Walmart versus Kmart. Since both Walmart and Kmart started at the same time, this is a great example of how a company\u2019s supply chain management can make or break its success in the overall market. I think that while there is still a chance for Kmart to update its supply chain, I do not think that it will be in enough time for the company to make a full recovery before going under. I think their brand has already been diminished in the public eye and rather than expanding like Walmart, Kmart has only been shrinking. While I cannot think of any retailers where supply chain has made such a big difference, I think it could have been a contributing factor in the success of Macy\u2019s as opposed to J.C. Penney. This is another example of two companies that went in two directions and one ended up far ahead of the other.\n\n 9. I don\u2019t think that Kmart has a chance of regaining market share against Walmart. I feel that Walmart made too many operational improvements that will prevent Kmart from making any type of moves. To make any headway some drastic changes need to be made by Kmart, like rebranding or focusing and learning what will improve in the customer\u2019s eyes.\n\n 10. KMart has been fascinating to watch because, as a child, it was so prominent and really comparable to WalMart. It\u2019s amazing to try to understand why a discount retailer would try to stock premium items to me: failure of management deserving of the costly mistake. WalMart seems to be in another battle today against Amazon. It will be interesting to see how these two companies, who have probably some of the best supply chain management, go to war with each other for customers as we shift to the online marketplace. I know Amazon has same-day delivery in a few places and just started testing their drones and I am curious what WalMart\u2019s response will be.\n\n 11. A great post which describes the difference between Walmart and Kmart in terms of their supply chain management. I think Kmart is too far behind to get up with Walmart today. Walmart is better in terms of availability of stocks and affordability as Walmart carries and sustains a high portion of its stock available and is less expensive compared to Kmart. To be successful or gain attention in the eyes of a customer I think Kmart should even prove better to stand different against their rivals in an advanced way and learning and focusing on the things it could get better.\n\n 12. I think for K-mart to succeed again it will be a slow progress and it must be a careful plan for rightsizing operation, cutting cost and most important solve their supply chain issues. Kmart must emerge in the market with more gourmet products and higher service level, that way they will not compete with Walmart instead more like Target crowd now.\n\n 13. I believe Kmart can comeback provided they develop a blue ocean strategy. I think they need to start to open stores in the developed countries. this can help them to create a market share world wide and to maintain a sustainable growth.\n\n 14. I strongly doubt Kmart will be able to get back on track in terms of reputation, position and market share. Kmart is not as known as WalMart therefore, customers will be heading to their most convenient store. Replacing stores wouldn\u2019t really make a difference to their position in the market. However, they have a chance to try to get back on track, yet it will be a bottleneck progress for them, as WalMart already has its strong position and reputation. Kmart should take counteractive measures to get through all the vital conflicts.\n\n 15. when we are talking about two financial companies we need to consider some basic things which does not have any illegal functions. actually there are some confidential topic which matters, so just loan sections are opened for apply and information\u2019s are quite published openly so that people can understand easily.\n\nLeave a Reply\n<|endoftext|>The team responded to the changes in the same game that next February 19 evening.<|endoftext|>Traveling can be great fun.

Then there are times when she acts so outwardly terrible, cracking jokes about a passed-out diabetic during the events of \"Caf\u00e9 Disaffecto\" rather than calling an ambulance or making any attempt to help, and later, during \"the Misery Chick\" when she uses Sandi's (Janie Mertz) distress an an opportunity to extort money from her. Not being invested enough to offer anything beyond sarcasm is one thing, but to go out of her way to revel in the pain of others is something entirely separate, and the writers need to keep an eye on the distinction between the two, as the latter is most definitely not the Daria that people want to be watching.\n\nThis series has an enormous supporting cast, especially given the running time, and most of them appear in almost every episode, making their individual development somewhat problematic. While Daria transforms into a very well-rounded being by the end of the season, many of the other characters remain largely one-dimensional, and the series would be better served to forgo including each member of the cast in every story as it's detrimental to getting to know any of them. Even Jane (Hoopes,) Daria's best friend, is largely unexplored through the first half of the season when she should have the second most depth after Daria herself. Granted, much of the cast is meant to appear as an archetypal caricature, Kevin and Brittany (Marc Thompson and Mertz, respectively) representing the jock and cheerleader stereotypes, with most other characters also showcasing a single personality trait blown far out of proportion, but it would feel much more genuine had these people been given an individual spotlight wherein they were able to prove themselves as something more. As it is, there are so many people crammed into every story that no one is given enough screen time to do anything of importance, and the writers need to slow their roll and give these characters the attention they need.\n\nAt the opening of the series there is some inconsistency as the actors take time to sort out who their characters are, but, for the most part, they settle into their roles very well. Mertz does double-duty as both Brittany and Sandi, and while the tone of their voices is vastly differently, the intonation and cadence is very similar, whereas Hoopes, playing the three most important women in Daria's life (best friend Jane, sister Quinn, and mother Helen) creates three very distinct voices from one another, rarely letting on that it's the same woman behind all three characters. Grandstaff, of course, carries this series with Daria's trademark stoicism, and even in moments when emotion breaks through Daria's facade proves herself very capable of remaining in character.\n\nAs stated above, the main issue I have with the direction of this series involves the abundance of characters forced to share an incredibly small amount of screen time. The episodes are far too cluttered, with side stories that often lead nowhere, and there are often plots that are set up to have a great pay off that simply fizzle out in the end due to a lack of time. This series is at it's best when it focuses on a select few people, bringing out great depth in underused characters when given the proper focus, and it's at it's worst when everyone is involved in the story in some capacity, generally as a cameo appearance in order to appease those who are simply expecting to see them. The issue wouldn't be as noticeable were the characters given their own stories, but the intention is to have the plots all intertwine together, and it usually just doesn't gel in the way that the directors hope it will.\n\nSome of the episode featured throughout this season are a little lackluster, as is the cast with almost every series that goes to air, sometimes getting side tracked by less important B-stories when the focus should remain on the main plot, but the message behind every episode, no matter how effectively conveyed, is worth some thought. The driving force behind an episode can be a little contrived from time to time, but the meat of the story lies within the observations provided by Daria and her friends, offering some kind of social commentary with every passing episode and willingly showing multiple sides of an issue. The diverse cast of characters here allows the writers to showcase a multitude of points of view without relying on a certain bias to make a point, instead playing out the discussions as they feel they would happen and seeing where the issue lands. This is a series that is both smart and funny without pandering to a certain demographic, aiming to appeal to those that would take the time to watch it and even those who don't enjoy it might appreciate what it's trying to accomplish.\n\nThe early episodes of the series falter from time to time as the show runners find their footing, but when they start their focus on real issues, providing insightful commentary on real life situations, the series really takes off. Daria is the voice of a generation of disillusioned teenagers, and her reactions to the world around her are generally a good framework example of how to deal with the difficulties of growing up.\n\nThe review for \"Arts 'N Crass\" will be posted on December 11th.\n\n\nPost a Comment<|endoftext|>ZVTZ.com is for sale\n\nWhat We Offer :\n\nFull ownership of the Domain Name\nHigh Quality Logo Design\n24 hours Domain Push\n\nDetails :\n\n \u2022 Registrar : GoDaddy\n \u2022 Expires : 20-Feb-20\n\nMake Offer\n\nPlease complete the form below:\n\n\n\nzvtz.com llll Domain name exclusively listed for sale\n\nzvtz.com llll domains for sale\n\nDomain Transfer\n\n\n \u2022 GoDaddy username or customer ID\n \u2022 Email address that is associated with your GoDaddy account\n\n\n\n\nSome Commonly Asked questions:\n\nHow much is a 3 letter domain worth?\n\nAnswer 1 The value varies greatly depending on the combination of letters and what the domain extension is.\n\nThe general accepted hierarchy of domain extensions in order of value are:\n\n \u2022 Dot-com\n \u2022 Dot-net\n \u2022 Dot-org\n \u2022 Dot-info\n \u2022 Dot-biz\n \u2022 Dot-us\n \u2022 And then there are many others of varying value including: .io, .co, .xyz, .club\n \u2022 Example- zvtz.com llll Domins\n\nGenerally speaking 3 and 4 letter domains are worth the same as others.

Mertz does double-duty as both Brittany and Sandi, and while the tone of their voices is vastly differently, the intonation and cadence is very similar, whereas Hoopes, playing the three most important women in Daria's life (best friend Jane, sister Quinn, and mother Helen) creates three very distinct voices from one another, rarely letting on that it's the same woman behind all three characters. Grandstaff, of course, carries this series with Daria's trademark stoicism, and even in moments when emotion breaks through Daria's facade proves herself very capable of remaining in character.\n\nAs stated above, the main issue I have with the direction of this series involves the abundance of characters forced to share an incredibly small amount of screen time. The episodes are far too cluttered, with side stories that often lead nowhere, and there are often plots that are set up to have a great pay off that simply fizzle out in the end due to a lack of time. This series is at it's best when it focuses on a select few people, bringing out great depth in underused characters when given the proper focus, and it's at it's worst when everyone is involved in the story in some capacity, generally as a cameo appearance in order to appease those who are simply expecting to see them. The issue wouldn't be as noticeable were the characters given their own stories, but the intention is to have the plots all intertwine together, and it usually just doesn't gel in the way that the directors hope it will.\n\nSome of the episode featured throughout this season are a little lackluster, as is the cast with almost every series that goes to air, sometimes getting side tracked by less important B-stories when the focus should remain on the main plot, but the message behind every episode, no matter how effectively conveyed, is worth some thought. The driving force behind an episode can be a little contrived from time to time, but the meat of the story lies within the observations provided by Daria and her friends, offering some kind of social commentary with every passing episode and willingly showing multiple sides of an issue. The diverse cast of characters here allows the writers to showcase a multitude of points of view without relying on a certain bias to make a point, instead playing out the discussions as they feel they would happen and seeing where the issue lands. This is a series that is both smart and funny without pandering to a certain demographic, aiming to appeal to those that would take the time to watch it and even those who don't enjoy it might appreciate what it's trying to accomplish.\n\nThe early episodes of the series falter from time to time as the show runners find their footing, but when they start their focus on real issues, providing insightful commentary on real life situations, the series really takes off. Daria is the voice of a generation of disillusioned teenagers, and her reactions to the world around her are generally a good framework example of how to deal with the difficulties of growing up.\n\nThe review for \"Arts 'N Crass\" will be posted on December 11th.\n\n\nPost a Comment<|endoftext|>ZVTZ.com is for sale\n\nWhat We Offer :\n\nFull ownership of the Domain Name\nHigh Quality Logo Design\n24 hours Domain Push\n\nDetails :\n\n \u2022 Registrar : GoDaddy\n \u2022 Expires : 20-Feb-20\n\nMake Offer\n\nPlease complete the form below:\n\n\n\nzvtz.com llll Domain name exclusively listed for sale\n\nzvtz.com llll domains for sale\n\nDomain Transfer\n\n\n \u2022 GoDaddy username or customer ID\n \u2022 Email address that is associated with your GoDaddy account\n\n\n\n\nSome Commonly Asked questions:\n\nHow much is a 3 letter domain worth?\n\nAnswer 1 The value varies greatly depending on the combination of letters and what the domain extension is.\n\nThe general accepted hierarchy of domain extensions in order of value are:\n\n \u2022 Dot-com\n \u2022 Dot-net\n \u2022 Dot-org\n \u2022 Dot-info\n \u2022 Dot-biz\n \u2022 Dot-us\n \u2022 And then there are many others of varying value including: .io, .co, .xyz, .club\n \u2022 Example- zvtz.com llll Domins\n\nGenerally speaking 3 and 4 letter domains are worth the same as others.

Why did you write this book?\n\n I wrote a survey article on the P/NP problem for a computing trade magazine, Communications of the ACM (http://bit.ly/pvnp-cacm), that quickly became the most downloaded article in that magazine's history. Clearly there was great interest in the P/NP question and there is no popular science book focused on P/NP or many on any computer science topic at all, so I took the survey I wrote as a template and started writing.\n\n 2. Ok, let's start with the basics, what is P/NP?\n\n The P/NP problem is best described by an example question: Are there 1000 people on Facebook whom are all friends with each other? Even if you worked for Facebook and had access to all its data, answering this question naively would require checking more possibilities than any computer, now or in the future, could possibly do. The P/NP question asks whether there is some very clever algorithm that can answer this problem and others like it.\n\n 3. What is the history of this problem? When was it first formulated and by who?\n\n The development of the P/NP problem has two histories, in North America and in Russia with researchers separated by the Cold War in the early 70's. In North America the problem developed in a rather conventional way, first defined by Steve Cook, a young professor, at the University of Toronto in 1971 as he looked at ways to connect logic and computation. A year later, Richard Karp of the University of California at Berkeley made the P/NP problem famous by tying it into a number of well-studied combinatorial problems. In Russia, progress was slowed by strong politics in their mathematical community, but eventually a young student, Leonid Levin, discovered the P/NP problem by looking at the difficulty of computer search. I devote a chapter of the book to the history and personalities leading up to the development of the P/NP problem on both sides of the Iron Curtain.\n\n 4. Why does it matter?\n\n It matters because if P=NP it would make a large number of difficult computational tasks immediately easy to solve and it would transform our lives beyond measure: we'd cure major diseases, make accurate predictions of weather, get near prefect translation, and much more. The computer could find solutions to virtually any question we could ask of it.\n\n 5. It really sounds like the \"golden ticket\" of your book's title. But in the book, you also talk about some of the less positive outcomes to solving this problem. Can you describe those too?\n\n We'd have a near complete loss of privacy as P=NP would allow anyone to reverse engineer any attempts to hide your activities. Also if P=NP virtually any job could be automated potentially leading to large-scale unemployment.\n\n 6. What makes it so difficult to solve?\n\n If P is not NP as most computer scientists believe, to show this requires that there is no algorithm out of an infinite number of possible clever algorithms, to solve a problem like the Facebook question above. It's very difficult, though hopefully not impossible, to show that no algorithm exists.\n\n 7. So, scientists are also trying to disprove P/NP? Why is that also important and do you think this is more likely than solving P=NP?\n\n Either P=NP or not, there exists one algorithm that solves most of the computational problems we care about or no such algorithm. Understanding which is the case will help us understand the best modes of attack on difficult computational problems. Because we don't expect the world to be so clean, with one algorithm that solves everything, the common belief of computer scientists is that P and NP are not equal.\n\n 8. Have there been any near solutions--people who thought they had a solution, but ultimately didn't? etc.\n\n The P/NP problem has a $1,000,", "base_doc": " our experts.<|endoftext|>Pandas version doubt\n\nSir which version of pandas are we using in the deep learning course?\n\nWe\u2019re not concerned about a specific version, as there are some new features being introduced in version updates.\nWe\u2019ll be focusing on getting through some commonly used things from all the versions, which are operatable on the current version.\n\n1 Like<|endoftext|>Wednesday, November 16, 2005\n\nJust the Cold Facts and a Mystery Woman\n\n\n\n\n\nD Strand said...\n\nI'm sorry to hear about your cold.

Had I retired in the north, it wouldn't happen. But they are all coming to Florida!\"\n\nTampa polling station - Natasha Mozgovaya - 02022012\nNatasha Mozgovaya\n\nShe doesn't understand how government has become so profligate, when she, a retiree who \"counts every penny,\" pays her credit cards bills in full and on time. She also wished for more civility in the elections.\n\nAfter a South Carolina drama in which Gingrich upset the front-runner, Mitt Romney's decisive Florida win has restored the former Massachusetts governor's status as the almost inevitable candidate.\n\n\"That's what the media would like you to think,\" said Jeremiah Greenberg, father of five. \"They push Romney because he is the closest thing to Obama.\"\n\nOn primary day, Greenberg stood across the road from a Tampa polling station with a big sign reading \"Exercise your faith\" - supporting former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum. When he learned I was from Israel, he switched to Hebrew. So how come he supports the most religiously conservative candidate in the race? Well, this scion of a rabbinic family is a Messianic Jew. \"If the Lubavitch believe Rabbi Schneerson is the Messiah, I can believe Jesus is the savior,\" he proclaimed.\n\nGreenberg knows Santorum is the underdog, but \"he is the most principled candidate. I was disappointed he couldn't come to campaign here more, but after Iowa, I decided to support him, because Iowans did the homework for the rest of the nation, meeting with all the candidates for five weeks, and they chose him.\"\n\nGreenberg's candidate didn't do well Tuesday night: 46.4 percent of Florida Republican voters chose Romney, 31.9 percent opted for Gingrich, 13.4 percent for Santorum and 7 percent for Ron Paul, who preferred to spend his time campaigning in later primary states (though at the University of South Florida, where the polling booth was located in the local Hillel offices, there were plenty of signs supporting him - and none for other candidates ).\n\nRomney celebrated early, at the Tampa Convention center. He warned the Democrats that \"a competitive primary does not divide us; it prepares us,\" and promised his presidency would \"begin a new era of American prosperity,\" repeal Obama's health-care law, and \"stand with our friends and speak out for those seeking freedom.\"\n\n\"I want you to remember when our White House reflected the best of who we are, not the worst of what Europe has become,\" he told the cheering audience. \"That America is still out there.\"\n\nFrom Florida, Romney went on to rallies in Minnesota and Nevada. One of those who followed him was Jim Wilson, a veteran driving a truck decorated with two large Romney signs. \"I am spending my grandchildren's money so hopefully they'll have something left of this country,\" he said. \"I started in August in Iowa, and intend to finish at the inaugural ball.\" Why? \"Because Mitt Romney is the only one that can beat Obama. He has the experience, the integrity and the energy.\"\n\nDemocrats fight back\n\nBut the Democrats weren't lying low: Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL ), who heads the Democratic National Committee, was ready to tear into the winner on the stairs of the same Tampa convention center where Romney celebrated his victory.\n\n\"I've been spending some time chasing the Republican candidates around the country,\" she admitted to Haaretz. \"Because I am not going to let them get away on my watch as DNC chairman with distorting and lying about the president, and I think voters need to know there is a dramatic contrast and a clear choice\" between Obama and Romney.\n\nI told her some Gingrich supporters say they reject Romney because to them, Romney is Obama. \"I am not surprised,\" she shrugged. \"The Republicans have no idea who or what Mitt Romney stands for, because he was willing to say anything to get elected. In Iowa he says he'll veto the DREAM act [a bill to legalize certain illegal immigrants], but in Florida he says he'll support some version of it.\"\n\nSo, I asked her, you are attacking Romney exclusively because a Gingrich victory would be better for Democrats?\n\n\"They are really interchangeable,\" she said. \"They are trying to out-right-wing each other.

But some asked the candidates who bothered to show up about Israel and Iran, others about Jonathan Pollard.\n\nAt one Romney rally, I met an anomaly: Daniel Najman, an Orthodox Jew who says he supports Ron Paul - because of his support for Israel.\n\n\"He is considered to be anti-Israeli, anti-Jewish, but he wants to cut all foreign aid, including money to Israel,\" Najman said. \"I've spoken many times to Israelis about the 'two-state final solution,' and they say it's dangerous, but they can't reject it because of America. If there is no aid, there can be, as Ron Paul says, equal relations. Israel can do what it wants.

As Jews, we care about domestic policy, health care, education; we stand for people who have no voice; and the Republicans don't agree with the Jewish community on any of those issues. And on Israel, the Israeli leadership has repeatedly said that President Obama has been Israel's greatest friend.\"\n\nFor Gingrich, Florida was bad news: Romney succeeded in establishing his credentials even among the state's conservatives. Romney also did well among women - perhaps in part because of his wife Ann's active role in his campaign events. She introduces him as her husband, father of her five sons and America's next president, and stresses his support for her role as a mother, which resonates with many American women.

Had I retired in the north, it wouldn't happen. But they are all coming to Florida!\"\n\nTampa polling station - Natasha Mozgovaya - 02022012\nNatasha Mozgovaya\n\nShe doesn't understand how government has become so profligate, when she, a retiree who \"counts every penny,\" pays her credit cards bills in full and on time. She also wished for more civility in the elections.\n\nAfter a South Carolina drama in which Gingrich upset the front-runner, Mitt Romney's decisive Florida win has restored the former Massachusetts governor's status as the almost inevitable candidate.\n\n\"That's what the media would like you to think,\" said Jeremiah Greenberg, father of five. \"They push Romney because he is the closest thing to Obama.\"\n\nOn primary day, Greenberg stood across the road from a Tampa polling station with a big sign reading \"Exercise your faith\" - supporting former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum. When he learned I was from Israel, he switched to Hebrew. So how come he supports the most religiously conservative candidate in the race? Well, this scion of a rabbinic family is a Messianic Jew. \"If the Lubavitch believe Rabbi Schneerson is the Messiah, I can believe Jesus is the savior,\" he proclaimed.\n\nGreenberg knows Santorum is the underdog, but \"he is the most principled candidate. I was disappointed he couldn't come to campaign here more, but after Iowa, I decided to support him, because Iowans did the homework for the rest of the nation, meeting with all the candidates for five weeks, and they chose him.\"\n\nGreenberg's candidate didn't do well Tuesday night: 46.4 percent of Florida Republican voters chose Romney, 31.9 percent opted for Gingrich, 13.4 percent for Santorum and 7 percent for Ron Paul, who preferred to spend his time campaigning in later primary states (though at the University of South Florida, where the polling booth was located in the local Hillel offices, there were plenty of signs supporting him - and none for other candidates ).\n\nRomney celebrated early, at the Tampa Convention center. He warned the Democrats that \"a competitive primary does not divide us; it prepares us,\" and promised his presidency would \"begin a new era of American prosperity,\" repeal Obama's health-care law, and \"stand with our friends and speak out for those seeking freedom.\"\n\n\"I want you to remember when our White House reflected the best of who we are, not the worst of what Europe has become,\" he told the cheering audience. \"That America is still out there.\"\n\nFrom Florida, Romney went on to rallies in Minnesota and Nevada. One of those who followed him was Jim Wilson, a veteran driving a truck decorated with two large Romney signs. \"I am spending my grandchildren's money so hopefully they'll have something left of this country,\" he said. \"I started in August in Iowa, and intend to finish at the inaugural ball.\" Why? \"Because Mitt Romney is the only one that can beat Obama. He has the experience, the integrity and the energy.\"\n\nDemocrats fight back\n\nBut the Democrats weren't lying low: Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL ), who heads the Democratic National Committee, was ready to tear into the winner on the stairs of the same Tampa convention center where Romney celebrated his victory.\n\n\"I've been spending some time chasing the Republican candidates around the country,\" she admitted to Haaretz. \"Because I am not going to let them get away on my watch as DNC chairman with distorting and lying about the president, and I think voters need to know there is a dramatic contrast and a clear choice\" between Obama and Romney.\n\nI told her some Gingrich supporters say they reject Romney because to them, Romney is Obama. \"I am not surprised,\" she shrugged. \"The Republicans have no idea who or what Mitt Romney stands for, because he was willing to say anything to get elected. In Iowa he says he'll veto the DREAM act [a bill to legalize certain illegal immigrants], but in Florida he says he'll support some version of it.\"\n\nSo, I asked her, you are attacking Romney exclusively because a Gingrich victory would be better for Democrats?\n\n\"They are really interchangeable,\" she said. \"They are trying to out-right-wing each other.

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

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

This process requires that parties acknowledge each other and make every reasonable attempt to look at the value in their relationship and how important that may be even in the context of the conflict.

Preserve and protect the dignity of all that are involved in the conflict. This includes you. In a heated discussion, it's easy to say something demeaning. Keep your focus on issues, not personalities. When you show sincere respect for people who disagree with you, they will be less inclined to be defensive.\n\nWhen you listen to others' views, put yourself in their shoes. See from their perspective and listen with neutrality that suspends critical judgment. Give your full attention to appreciating why the other person sees the same situation differently from you.

Anyhow, I noticed her flirting in a text message with him telling him that he is cute and that she could steal him away from me if she wanted to. (NOTE: The bytch is ugly and I look ten times better.) A few days later, she said she was joking and asked for my number.\n\nBecause my boyfriend acted like he didn't want to give me the number , that drew me into wanting it even more. He got mad and said, You don't see me taking any guys number out of your phone!\n\n\nMost Helpful Guy\n\n \u2022 That's a tuffie. Well, I feel you on that issue. However, ... I'm curious to know how you stumbled upon this evidence Sherlock? I mean, checkin through phones ain't cool and if you gotta do all lat then you don't need to be w/the dude because you don't trust him.\n\n Lets not get away from what's going on though. He probably got mad because , yes it was some innocent flirting on her part, however that don't mean he wants to be w/the girl. But if you blow it up and make it like he's already \"cheating\" or going to cheat on you then that sh*t gits under a guys skin. Because then he feels he's gotta constantly prove imself when he's done nuttin wrong. I mean...it wasn't like it was HIM who sent that text message.\n\n Try to look at it both ways. Shake it off...but keep one eye open\n\n \u2022 If you read below you will see that I said that he showed me the info himself.\n\n \u2022 Show All\n \u2022 I mean because to be honest w/you, its probably the fact that he's not givin this chics numer to you that's got you all worked up. Its a loose-loose for you. Because yeah, he can give you the number but as a guy he's gonna feel like you don't trust him and if you hound him for the number and he continually says no, you gonna get more p*ssed off because you're gonna be like \"whats the f***in big deal\". If I were you::be like the Beatles.\"Let it be, let it be\". Whether you get the number or not, it won't go good\n\n \u2022 I really don't care for her. But it's just the fact that he's trying to hold the number back it makes me wonder. Maybe you are right...maybe I shouldnt sweat it. I will keep one eye open like you said and not be completely blinded.\n\n\nHave an opinion?\n\nWhat Guys Said 1\n\n \u2022 If she is ugly, why are you worried he would cheat on you? He seems p*ssed because you don't trust him, and he has good reason to be. I hate to sound blunt, but one of the worst things you can do to a guy is go plowing into his personal belongings looking for dirt. Unless your \"baby's father\" has shown any interest in this girl, you going into his stuff clearly shows him that you have no trust that he is loyal to you.\n\n \u2022 But I am not.She asked for my number out of the blue. I didn give two craps about it until he acted like he didn't want me to have it.\n\n \u2022 Also, I didn't go looking for dirt. He told me she said these things and showed me the messages. I am not a insecure chick I don't have to search nobody.\n\nWhat Girls Said 3\n\n \u2022 He probably does like the attention from her. It is new and exciting and a way to boost his ego. If he is texting her back then I would be worried that it might be something deeper than just flirtation going on.\n\n \u2022 He is messing around with her, that's why\n\n Females always seem to get mad at the other woman when its really your man you should focus on.\n\n 1. very suspicious text. most women will not write like that to a man unless they are getting some kind of encouragement from him. obviously there is a reason why she thinks she can steal him away. it has nothing to do with you, but its because of how he acts towards her. if he was completely not entertaining her at all she wouldn't think she had a chance, but he is feeding into her crush on him so she does think there is something there\n\n 2. he didn't want to give you the number. why because he still wants to talk to her. if there was nothing going on and he didn't care about this chick he wouldn't have handled it like that\n\n why does she have his number anyway? a friend of a friend just happens to be sending him texts like that? sounds fishy WATCH OUT\n\n \u2022 Okay did he show you the texts before you asked? I just read your comments...if he did that then I would err on the side of \"this heffa is crazy and just wants to mess up your relationship\"\n\n \u2022 i think he may be insulted you don't trust him.\n\n men just like having a little attention sometimes I suppose. but watch out, its not all about look sthis law of attraction.<|endoftext|>\n\nby Randolph T.

A few days later, she said she was joking and asked for my number.\n\nBecause my boyfriend acted like he didn't want to give me the number , that drew me into wanting it even more. He got mad and said, You don't see me taking any guys number out of your phone!\n\n\nMost Helpful Guy\n\n \u2022 That's a tuffie. Well, I feel you on that issue. However, ... I'm curious to know how you stumbled upon this evidence Sherlock? I mean, checkin through phones ain't cool and if you gotta do all lat then you don't need to be w/the dude because you don't trust him.\n\n Lets not get away from what's going on though. He probably got mad because , yes it was some innocent flirting on her part, however that don't mean he wants to be w/the girl. But if you blow it up and make it like he's already \"cheating\" or going to cheat on you then that sh*t gits under a guys skin. Because then he feels he's gotta constantly prove imself when he's done nuttin wrong. I mean...it wasn't like it was HIM who sent that text message.\n\n Try to look at it both ways. Shake it off...but keep one eye open\n\n \u2022 If you read below you will see that I said that he showed me the info himself.\n\n \u2022 Show All\n \u2022 I mean because to be honest w/you, its probably the fact that he's not givin this chics numer to you that's got you all worked up. Its a loose-loose for you. Because yeah, he can give you the number but as a guy he's gonna feel like you don't trust him and if you hound him for the number and he continually says no, you gonna get more p*ssed off because you're gonna be like \"whats the f***in big deal\". If I were you::be like the Beatles.\"Let it be, let it be\". Whether you get the number or not, it won't go good\n\n \u2022 I really don't care for her. But it's just the fact that he's trying to hold the number back it makes me wonder. Maybe you are right...maybe I shouldnt sweat it. I will keep one eye open like you said and not be completely blinded.\n\n\nHave an opinion?\n\nWhat Guys Said 1\n\n \u2022 If she is ugly, why are you worried he would cheat on you? He seems p*ssed because you don't trust him, and he has good reason to be. I hate to sound blunt, but one of the worst things you can do to a guy is go plowing into his personal belongings looking for dirt. Unless your \"baby's father\" has shown any interest in this girl, you going into his stuff clearly shows him that you have no trust that he is loyal to you.\n\n \u2022 But I am not.She asked for my number out of the blue. I didn give two craps about it until he acted like he didn't want me to have it.\n\n \u2022 Also, I didn't go looking for dirt. He told me she said these things and showed me the messages. I am not a insecure chick I don't have to search nobody.\n\nWhat Girls Said 3\n\n \u2022 He probably does like the attention from her. It is new and exciting and a way to boost his ego. If he is texting her back then I would be worried that it might be something deeper than just flirtation going on.\n\n \u2022 He is messing around with her, that's why\n\n Females always seem to get mad at the other woman when its really your man you should focus on.\n\n 1. very suspicious text. most women will not write like that to a man unless they are getting some kind of encouragement from him. obviously there is a reason why she thinks she can steal him away. it has nothing to do with you, but its because of how he acts towards her. if he was completely not entertaining her at all she wouldn't think she had a chance, but he is feeding into her crush on him so she does think there is something there\n\n 2. he didn't want to give you the number. why because he still wants to talk to her. if there was nothing going on and he didn't care about this chick he wouldn't have handled it like that\n\n why does she have his number anyway? a friend of a friend just happens to be sending him texts like that? sounds fishy WATCH OUT\n\n \u2022 Okay did he show you the texts before you asked? I just read your comments...if he did that then I would err on the side of \"this heffa is crazy and just wants to mess up your relationship\"\n\n \u2022 i think he may be insulted you don't trust him.\n\n men just like having a little attention sometimes I suppose. but watch out, its not all about look sthis law of attraction.<|endoftext|>\n\nby Randolph T. Holhut\nChief of AR Correspondents\nDummerston, Vt.\nFebruary 14, 2013\nOn Native Ground\n\nBack to home page\n\nPrintable version of this story\n\nDUMMERSTON, Vt. -- Republicans have lost the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections. The demographics of our nation are changing rapidly in ways that do not favor conservatives. And their political ideas are the ideological equivalent of a Superfund site.\n\nSo what's a politically radioactive and demographically doomed party to do? What Republicans always do - cheat.\n\nRepublican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus is pushing a plan that takes advantage of the legal quirk where Americans officially choose their presidents not through the popular vote, but through the Electoral College.\n\nPriebus wants Republican lawmakers in states that were won by President Obama in 2008 and 2012 to change the rules from the traditional winner-take-all system where the candidate that wins a majority of the popular vote is awarded all of a state's electoral votes.\n\nInstead, they want a system that would allocate electoral votes based on the number of congressional districts won by a candidate. Currently, only Maine and Nebraska do this.\n\nThanks to gerrymandering by Republican-controlled state legislatures, Republicans kept their majority in the U.S. House in 2012, despite Democratic candidates for the House winning nearly 1.4 million more votes overall than Republican candidates.\n\nApply the same logic to the presidential election in the key swing states such as Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin, and you can thwart the popular vote and ensure that a Republican candidate will win.\n\nVirginia is working on this Electoral College plan right now. Under this system, the state that President Obama carried in 2008 and 2012 would have split its", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 104704, "pt_loc": 19489442, "pt_shuffle_idx": 243728834, "doc_index_f": 382047681, "doc_index_l": 382047683, "offset_f": 576, "offset_l": 385, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 40, "pt_injection_len": 304, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [519, 1144, 386]} -{"pt_doc": "\u201cA hundred times I wished to go; and I followed you--I remained.\u201d\n\n\u201cManures!\u201d\n\n\u201cAnd I shall remain to-night, to-morrow, all other days, all my life!\u201d\n\n\u201cTo Monsieur Caron of Argueil, a gold medal!\u201d\n\n\u201cFor I have never in the society of any other person found so complete a\ncharm.\u201d\n\n\u201cTo Monsieur Bain of Givry-Saint-Martin.\u201d\n\n\u201cAnd I shall carry away with me the remembrance of you.\u201d\n\n\u201cFor a merino ram!\u201d\n\n\u201cBut you will forget me; I shall pass away like a shadow.\u201d\n\n\u201cTo Monsieur Belot of Notre-Dame.\u201d\n\n\u201cOh, no!

Of course, they have not always been called dollhouses. The earliest examples of a miniature house, or dollhouse, were found in the Egyptian Tombs of the Old Kingdom. Although know one knows, they were probably used for religious purposes. Dollhouses have come a long way since that time.\n\n\nIn early European times dollhouses were constructed by hand. Individual craftsmen would construct these dollhouses to order. Germany became the first country to mass-produce dollhouses up until World War II. Due to the war, production plummeted. By the 19th century, dollhouses were being made in North America. Germany was the producer of the most prized dollhouses.\n\nAfter WWII dollhouses started to be mass-produced on a large scale. By the 1950s, the typical dollhouses were painted sheet metal filled with plastic furniture. Around this time was when dollhouses became very popular to the young American girl. The craze is still alive today. Dollhouses can be seen in toy store all across the country. Although it is not as popular today, your can still find craftsmen who make hand crafted dollhouses.\n\nNo comments:<|endoftext|>Research Repository\n\nEnhancing Recommendations in Specialist Search Through Semantic-based Techniques and Multiple Resources\n\nAlmuhaimeed, Abdullah (2016) Enhancing Recommendations in Specialist Search Through Semantic-based Techniques and Multiple Resources. PhD thesis, University of Essex.\n\n[img] Text\nRestricted to Repository staff only until 15 September 2021.\n\nDownload (9MB) | Request a copy\n\n\nInformation resources abound on the Internet, but mining these resources is a non-trivial task. Such abundance has raised the need to enhance services provided to users, such as recommendations. The purpose of this work is to explore how better recommendations can be provided to specialists in specific domains such as bioinformatics by introducing semantic techniques that reason through different resources and using specialist search techniques. Such techniques exploit semantic relations and hidden associations that occur as a result of the information overlapping among various concepts in multiple bioinformatics resources such as ontologies, websites and corpora. Thus, this work introduces a new method that reasons over different bioinformatics resources and then discovers and exploits different relations and information that may not exist in the original resources. Such relations may be discovered as a consequence of the information overlapping, such as the sibling and semantic similarity relations, to enhance the accuracy of the recommendations provided on bioinformatics content (e.g. articles). In addition, this research introduces a set of semantic rules that are able to extract different semantic information and relations inferred among various bioinformatics resources. This project introduces these semantic-based methods as part of a recommendation service within a content-based system. Moreover, it uses specialists' interests to enhance the provided recommendations by employing a method that is collecting user data implicitly. Then, it represents the data as adaptive ontological user profiles for each user based on his/her preferences, which contributes to more accurate recommendations provided to each specialist in the field of bioinformatics.\n\nItem Type: Thesis (PhD)\nUncontrolled Keywords: Semantic Techniques, Semantic Web, Recommender Systems, Bioinformatics Ontologies and Multiple Resources\nDepositing User: Abdullah Almuhaimeed\nDate Deposited: 15 Sep 2016 12:09\nLast Modified: 15 Sep 2016 12:09\n\nActions (login required)\n\nView Item View Item<|endoftext|>\u00a3 $\n\nShopping Cart\n\n0 item(s) - $0.00\nYour shopping cart is empty!\nWelcome visitor you can login or create an account.\n\nPrana Groove\n\nPrana Groove\nArtist Shop: Stevin McNamara\n\nArtist Info: Stevin McNamara\nCategories: Yoga Music\nMedia Type: CD\nPurchase Options:\nPrice: $16.99\n\nInternationally-acclaimed for his Western interpretations of northern India's classical music, Stevin McNamara offers you this entrancing journey called Prana Groove.

Of course, they have not always been called dollhouses. The earliest examples of a miniature house, or dollhouse, were found in the Egyptian Tombs of the Old Kingdom. Although know one knows, they were probably used for religious purposes. Dollhouses have come a long way since that time.\n\n\nIn early European times dollhouses were constructed by hand. Individual craftsmen would construct these dollhouses to order. Germany became the first country to mass-produce dollhouses up until World War II. Due to the war, production plummeted. By the 19th century, dollhouses were being made in North America. Germany was the producer of the most prized dollhouses.\n\nAfter WWII dollhouses started to be mass-produced on a large scale. By the 1950s, the typical dollhouses were painted sheet metal filled with plastic furniture. Around this time was when dollhouses became very popular to the young American girl. The craze is still alive today. Dollhouses can be seen in toy store all across the country. Although it is not as popular today, your can still find craftsmen who make hand crafted dollhouses.\n\nNo comments:<|endoftext|>Research Repository\n\nEnhancing Recommendations in Specialist Search Through Semantic-based Techniques and Multiple Resources\n\nAlmuhaimeed, Abdullah (2016) Enhancing Recommendations in Specialist Search Through Semantic-based Techniques and Multiple Resources. PhD thesis, University of Essex.\n\n[img] Text\nRestricted to Repository staff only until 15 September 2021.\n\nDownload (9MB) | Request a copy\n\n\nInformation resources abound on the Internet, but mining these resources is a non-trivial task. Such abundance has raised the need to enhance services provided to users, such as recommendations. The purpose of this work is to explore how better recommendations can be provided to specialists in specific domains such as bioinformatics by introducing semantic techniques that reason through different resources and using specialist search techniques. Such techniques exploit semantic relations and hidden associations that occur as a result of the information overlapping among various concepts in multiple bioinformatics resources such as ontologies, websites and corpora. Thus, this work introduces a new method that reasons over different bioinformatics resources and then discovers and exploits different relations and information that may not exist in the original resources. Such relations may be discovered as a consequence of the information overlapping, such as the sibling and semantic similarity relations, to enhance the accuracy of the recommendations provided on bioinformatics content (e.g. articles). In addition, this research introduces a set of semantic rules that are able to extract different semantic information and relations inferred among various bioinformatics resources. This project introduces these semantic-based methods as part of a recommendation service within a content-based system. Moreover, it uses specialists' interests to enhance the provided recommendations by employing a method that is collecting user data implicitly. Then, it represents the data as adaptive ontological user profiles for each user based on his/her preferences, which contributes to more accurate recommendations provided to each specialist in the field of bioinformatics.\n\nItem Type: Thesis (PhD)\nUncontrolled Keywords: Semantic Techniques, Semantic Web, Recommender Systems, Bioinformatics Ontologies and Multiple Resources\nDepositing User: Abdullah Almuhaimeed\nDate Deposited: 15 Sep 2016 12:09\nLast Modified: 15 Sep 2016 12:09\n\nActions (login required)\n\nView Item View Item<|endoftext|>\u00a3 $\n\nShopping Cart\n\n0 item(s) - $0.00\nYour shopping cart is empty!\nWelcome visitor you can login or create an account.\n\nPrana Groove\n\nPrana Groove\nArtist Shop: Stevin McNamara\n\nArtist Info: Stevin McNamara\nCategories: Yoga Music\nMedia Type: CD\nPurchase Options:\nPrice: $16.99\n\nInternationally-acclaimed for his Western interpretations of northern India's classical music, Stevin McNamara offers you this entrancing journey called Prana Groove.

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

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

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

\n 7. Stonehenge\n\n Stonehenge LawnSite Bronze Member\n from Midwest\n Posts: 1,277\n\n I learned an interesting lesson from my mother a couple years ago. She has run a retail store for over twenty years, and while our industries are very different, there are still all kinds of things I learn from her.

There are some things that you sell that you can charge well over 2x what the cost is to you (called 'keystoning', for you business majors out there), just because they are perceived as more valuable by the customer. Most items my mother sells are usually marked up 2-3x the cost. Some are marked up much more, just because she knows the customer will pay it.

Isn't that, after all, what we're after, charging what the market will bear?

Some plants I keystone, others I charge (much more) according to customer perception - you have to figure out what that is for your market niche. But first and foremost, you need to get a handle on your costs - find out exactly how much it costs you to plant a shrub - plant cost, gas to get there, labor, G&A, everything. Every company has different costs, every company has different positioning strategies, every company president has different views on acceptable ROI's. You just need to figure out yours.

\n 8. jrblawncare\n\n jrblawncare LawnSite Senior Member\n Posts: 445\n\n I have played with installs before and starting to do more and must get a better handle on it.I'm looking at a job now,140 ft.of Forsythia as a hegde,I can buy 4-5'plants at 16.00 each,should I be charging 32.00 or 48.00 for each plant installed? The 48.00 seems high to me.I was thinking of charging for bed prep. and mulch by its self.Also what do you think the spacing of plants sould be for this job...3ft. or 5ft?Thanks to all for your help.\n 9. steveair\n\n steveair LawnSite Bronze Member\n Posts: 1,073\n\n jrb, spacing should be considered on how fast you want the plants to fill in. 5 ft is plenty for forsythia, but 3 feet will work better if you want to fill them in faster. 16 sounds a little high, they are usually around 10-12 by me (contractor price)

If you want to plant them fast, get like a 16 inch auger, or just dig a trech and throw them in. Don't worry too much about planting them perfectly, thats why I said throw. They are like a dam weed. You could take them, slam the ball against the ground a few times, and cut them off at about 3 inches and still have them live. Planted about 150 last year, and the drought wacked them all. I cut half of them down to the ground, and now, they are already shooting up all kinds of growth.

steveair\n 10. kermit\n\n kermit LawnSite Member\n Posts: 138\n\n Why price this job by the plant? Start by figuring your labour. Is this soil a bugger to dig? Loys of stones? Every job is different that is why I said earlier that I don't price by the plant. There are too many variables to price that way. Figure out your costs, add a healthy profit,and away you go. You won't worry about replacing any that croak because you have taken that into account. Good luck.\n\nShare This Page<|endoftext|>Exercise \u2013 Maximizing the Health Benefits \u2013 Part 7 \u2013 Wrap Up\n\n\nThe is the 7th and last (for a while, at least) in the exercise series. Joint maintenance was discussed here, balance and neurogenesis here, osteoporosis prevention here. heart rate variability here, and biological power here.\n\nBased on the comments we got, it looks like a lot of people have a lot of good exercises that would fit well in the program. Besides describing the exercises, we also described how and why they work. Hopefully, armed with this, you can cook up all sorts on your own.\n\nGoing for the Gold\n\nThe Tier One exercises, done in a WECMC fashion, will most likely improve your biological power to the maximal extent possible. The chart again shows the six-month results from the initial group.\n\nThese were not Olympic trainees. Generally, these people were already sick or headed in that direction.\nThese 25 people were highly monitored, with quarterly blood tests, their heart rates monitored and recorded. Every exercise session was supervised by a trainer as well. Of necessity, many of them started slowly and step-by-step, as outlined above. Nonetheless, by six months all these people\u2019s health had dramatically improved. Most had reversed at least one degenerative disease. Some had reversed several. The trainer presence insured that the exercises were done, and done right, and the measurements verified the results, but it was the 25 people themselves who did all the work, who, in effect, cured themselves. This level of improvement is available to anyone who performs the exercises with the power and form required. It would definitely help to engage a trainer, but make sure the trainer has a good grasp of the exercise components. Just look at the results.\n\nThe route to attaining and maintaining peak health requires some work, discipline, and dedication. It does not require inordinate amounts of time though, and it seems to us that the benefits hugely out weight the \u201ccosts.\u201d\nThe principal point is to keep challenging yourself. This, in turn, continually challenges your body to do more, and do it more effectively, maintaining and increasing your biological power. This does not mean spending half your life at the gym. What it does mean is keeping the exercises challenging. When you have mastered standing on a wobbly object with two feet, learn to do it with one. Employ more \u201cWECMC\u201d in the resistance type exercises. Keep pushing yourself. If the demand is there and time for recovery is allowed, the body will respond.\n\n\nHere are several generally useful exercise tips.\n\nPicking a Gym\n\nThe most important criterion is that you feel comfortable and welcome. The main reason for doing so is health, and a gym that focuses on that would be desirable. The YMCA gyms do well in this regard, plus they are reasonably priced and don\u2019t try to pressure you into long-term deals.", "base_doc": " does the nursry price of plants have to do with your price?

Every company has different costs, every company has different positioning strategies, every company president has different views on acceptable ROI's. You just need to figure out yours.

The 48.00 seems high to me.I was thinking of charging for bed prep. and mulch by its self.Also what do you think the spacing of plants sould be for this job...3ft. or 5ft?Thanks to all for your help.\n 9. steveair\n\n steveair LawnSite Bronze Member\n Posts: 1,073\n\n jrb, spacing should be considered on how fast you want the plants to fill in. 5 ft is plenty for forsythia, but 3 feet will work better if you want to fill them in faster. 16 sounds a little high, they are usually around 10-12 by me (contractor price)

If you want to plant them fast, get like a 16 inch auger, or just dig a trech and throw them in. Don't worry too much about planting them perfectly, thats why I said throw. They are like a dam weed. You could take them, slam the ball against the ground a few times, and cut them off at about 3 inches and still have them live. Planted about 150 last year, and the drought wacked them all. I cut half of them down to the ground, and now, they are already shooting up all kinds of growth.

steveair\n 10. kermit\n\n kermit LawnSite Member\n Posts: 138\n\n Why price this job by the plant? Start by figuring your labour. Is this soil a bugger to dig? Loys of stones? Every job is different that is why I said earlier that I don't price by the plant. There are too many variables to price that way. Figure out your costs, add a healthy profit,and away you go. You won't worry about replacing any that croak because you have taken that into account. Good luck.\n\nShare This Page<|endoftext|>Exercise \u2013 Maximizing the Health Benefits \u2013 Part 7 \u2013 Wrap Up\n\n\nThe is the 7th and last (for a while, at least) in the exercise series. Joint maintenance was discussed here, balance and neurogenesis here, osteoporosis prevention here. heart rate variability here, and biological power here.\n\nBased on the comments we got, it looks like a lot of people have a lot of good exercises that would fit well in the program. Besides describing the exercises, we also described how and why they work. Hopefully, armed with this, you can cook up all sorts on your own.\n\nGoing for the Gold\n\nThe Tier One exercises, done in a WECMC fashion, will most likely improve your biological power to the maximal extent possible. The chart again shows the six-month results from the initial group.\n\nThese were not Olympic trainees. Generally, these people were already sick or headed in that direction.\nThese 25 people were highly monitored, with quarterly blood tests, their heart rates monitored and recorded. Every exercise session was supervised by a trainer as well. Of necessity, many of them started slowly and step-by-step, as outlined above. Nonetheless, by six months all these people\u2019s health had dramatically improved. Most had reversed at least one degenerative disease. Some had reversed several. The trainer presence insured that the exercises were done, and done right, and the measurements verified the results, but it was the 25 people themselves who did all the work, who, in effect, cured themselves. This level of improvement is available to anyone who performs the exercises with the power and form required. It would definitely help to engage a trainer, but make sure the trainer has a good grasp of the exercise components. Just look at the results.\n\nThe route to attaining and maintaining peak health requires some work, discipline, and dedication. It does not require inordinate amounts of time though, and it seems to us that the benefits hugely out weight the \u201ccosts.\u201d\nThe principal point is to keep challenging yourself. This, in turn, continually challenges your body to do more, and do it more effectively, maintaining and increasing your biological power. This does not mean spending half your life at the gym. What it does mean is keeping the exercises challenging. When you have mastered standing on a wobbly object with two feet, learn to do it with one. Employ more \u201cWECMC\u201d in the resistance type exercises. Keep pushing yourself. If the demand is there and time for recovery is allowed, the body will respond.\n\n\nHere are several generally useful exercise tips.\n\nPicking a Gym\n\nThe most important criterion is that you feel comfortable and welcome. The main reason for doing so is health, and a gym that focuses on that would be desirable. The YMCA gyms do well in this regard, plus they are reasonably priced and don\u2019t try to pressure you into long-term deals. Also the YMCA trainers will show you the safe way to do an exercise, usually for free. For squats and deadlifts this is quite important.\n\nIf you like classes, by all means do classes. Many do not seem to emphasize resistance or interval training, but there are notable exceptions.\n\nStrenuous classes like exercise programs that emphasize balance and heart rate variability, such as the Bar Method, are excellent.\n\nOne important machine to look for is the rower. The \u201cstandard\u201d brand is the Concept2. Most gyms have these. The rower is a very safe and effective way to do interval and anaerobic-threshold exercise. However, there are many other ways, so lack of a rower needn\u2019t be a showstopper.\n\nAnother essential gym item would be a squat cage, which is a rack that allows you to load weights onto a barbell, along with safety rails to catch the bar should you fall or take on too much weight. Gyms usually have one.\n\n\nUnless the staff will instruct you for free, you should buy a few trainer sessions and have the trainer show you the safe way to do these exercises, especially squats and deadlifts. Not all trainers have the same ideas.

Analysts were looking for the company to deliver $200,000 more in revenue and $0.04 more in earnings per share.\n\nRevenue grew 35% from last year in the quarter, and GAAP net income of $0.20 outpaced the $0.17 reported in fiscal Q2 a year ago. Sales came predominately from the company's Impella line-up of heart pumps, which are used to support patients following a heart attack and through heart surgery. Impella sales of $97.9 million were up 37% year over year as Impella sales in the U.S.\u00a0improved 34% to $89.3 million and patient use grew 35%. International sales also increased to $8.6 million in the quarter, up 73% year over year due to rising demand in Germany.\n\nGross margin slipped to 83.2% in the quarter from last year, while operating margin dipped to 14.1% from 16.8%.\n\nNow what\n\nManagement entered the quarter estimating fiscal full year sales of at least $435 million, and management maintained that forecast on Thursday.\u00a0The company expects revenue of between $435 million and $445 million and GAAP operating margin of between 18% and 20%, and if the company delivers on its revenue target, it will represent a 32% to 35% improvement over its fiscal 2016 results.\n\nAlthough Abiomed's sales growth was lower than hoped, sales didn't miss projections by much. I don't think Abiomed's miss is due to competitive losses and I am encouraged by the company's potential abroad.\n\nOverall, Abiomed has been one of healthcare's top performing stocks, so an argument could be made that it was priced for perfection.

How twelve aged ambassadors of Rome came to King Arthur to\ndemand truage for Britain.\n\nWhen King Arthur had after long war rested, and held a royal feast and\nTable Round with his allies of kings, princes, and noble knights all of\nthe Round Table, there came into his hall, he sitting in his throne\nroyal, twelve ancient men, bearing each of them a branch of olive, in\ntoken that they came as ambassadors and messengers from the Emperor\nLucius,<|endoftext|> in the branch.\n\nThe selection algorithm for deactivation, like the selection algorithm for page removal, is based on usage. When the last page of a segment is removed from core, the segment becomes a candidate for deactivation. The algorithm selects for deactivation the segment which has had no pages in core for the longest period of time, i.e. the segment which has been least recently used. Since the number of (PT, ASTE) pairs substantially exceeds the number of pageable blocks of core, it is always possible to find an active segment with no pages in core.\n\nThe ASTE must provide all the information needed for deactivating a segment. This means that during activation and connection, this information must be made available. During activation, a pointer to the branch must be placed in the ASTE; during connection, a pointer to the SDW must be placed in the ASTE. Since more than one SDW is connected to the same PT when the segment is shared by several processes, the super visor must maintain a list of pointers to all connected SDWs. This list is called a connection list. See Figure 5.\n\nAfter the selection algorithm chooses a (PT, ASTE) to be freed, the disassociation of the segment from its (PT, ASTE) is done in two steps: disconnection and deactivation.\n\nDisconnection consists of storing a segment fault in each SDW whose address appears in the connection list in the ASTE. Deactivation consists of moving the segment map and the segment length from the ASTE back to the branch, resetting the active switch in the branch, and putting the (PT, ASTE) in the free list.\n\n9. Structure of the Supervisor\n\nUp to now supervisor functions have been described, but not the supervisor structure. In this section, the different components of the supervisor are presented and the ability of portions of the supervisor to utilize the virtual memory is discussed.\n\n9.l Functional Modules\n\nThree functional modules can be identified in the supervisor described in Section 8; they are called directory control (DC), segment control (SC), and page control (PC).\n\nDC performs all operations on segment attributes; it also maps pathnames into segment numbers in the KST of the executing process. Data bases used by a process executing DC procedures are the directories and the KST of the process (Figure 6).\n\nSC performs segment fault handling. Data bases used by a process executing SC procedures are directories, the KST of the process, descriptor segments and (PT, ASTE) pairs.\n\nPC performs page fault handling. Data bases used by a process executing PC procedures are (PT, ASTE) pairs and the core map.\n\n9.2 Use of PC in the Supervisor\n\nOne can observe that the page fault handler need not know if a missing page belongs to a user segment or to a supervisor segment; it only expects to find the in formation it requires in the (PT, ASTE) of the segment to which the missing page belongs. Therefore, if all segments used in SC and DC are always active, then their pages need not be in core since PC can load them when they are referenced.\n\nIn order to make use of PC in the rest of the super visor the following (temporary) assumption must be made.\n\nAssumption 1\n\n(a) All segments used in PC are always in core and are connected to the descriptor segment of each process.\n\n(b) All segments used in SC and DC are always active and are connected to the descriptor segment of each process.\n\n9.3 Use of SC in the Supervisor\n\nAssumption I is satisfactory in the Multics implementation except for directories.\n\nThe number of directory segments in the system may be very large and keeping them always active is not a realistic approach, since a large number of (PT, ASTE) pairs would have to be permanently assigned to them. It would be desirable to use SC to activate and connect directory segments only as needed.\n\nA necessary condition for handling a segment fault for segment x in a process is that segment x be known to that process. Assuming that all directories are known to all processes, but not necessarily active, reference to a directory x may cause a segment fault. When handling this fault, the segment fault handler must reference the parent directory of segment x, where the branch for x is located. This reference to the parent of x could, in turn, cause a recursive invocation of the segment fault handler. These recursive invocations can propagate from directory to parent directory up to the root.

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

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

The main reason for buying power generator is to provide people temporary power when there is power outage but since it is noisy, the word comfort that most people think is tainted. They\u2019d rather just go out of the house and go to the nearest mall than stay at home and experience a noisy and annoying environment. These days, many gas generators have been developed and its ability to be quiet is one factor that has been taken into consideration by manufacturers. There are now quiet gas generators that are quite similar to solid rocket propellant. The purpose of this generator is to maximize the energy available to it by producing volumes of cool gas. Gas generators were made primarily to be available during emergency purposes such as when a sick elderly or a baby shouldn\u2019t experience extreme temperature and there is power outage. This is also used for professional purposes such as in the company\u2019s or industries or even when doing some professional work. Some people use this for recreational purposes such as when they are out on a camp or somewhere outdoors. Gas generators are fuelled by different kinds of fuel may it be gasoline, propane, diesel or natural gases and one of the most common among them is fuelled by chemical oxygen. This type of generator is quite when giving out power. It is also helpful to the environment wherein it doesn\u2019t give out dirty air or black smoke unlike when using a gasoline-fuelled generator. The good thing about this too is that it gives out a breathable air instead of carbon dioxide. Like what you can notice when using gasoline generator, you can\u2019t come near that machine because it smells gasoline and you can\u2019t inhale the smoke otherwise you\u2019ll be suffocated. With the chemical oxygen type, working beside that generator is not a problem. This is because this kind of generator has a silencer built in it. Buying a generator is indeed worth because it is also long-lasting and durable. However, the durability of every machine depends on the user as well. As long as you maintain your machine, you are ensured that it will last long. Taking care of generator is not that difficult. Cleaning it from time to time is very important. Also, before using it for the first time, make sure that you have understood all the precautionary measures mentioned in the manual of the generator otherwise, you will end up either causing accidents or buying a new generator. When dealing with machines, having a thorough knowledge of its parts, the purpose of each and the overall handling procedures is very important. As long as you master how to operate your machine, you are sure that you can get your money\u2019s worth.\n\nLook for Quiet Gas Generators<|endoftext|>site index [Picture of the Day logo]\n\nPicture of the Day\nJuly 2, 2019\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 How did I get here and\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 why must I trade my time\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 and toil just to stay alive when\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 others never lift a finger living in\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 utmost luxury?

Their journey had brought them to a cluster of large hills and to a valley mouth obstructed by a massive gate. The scenery was beautiful but they were barely given any time to take in their surroundings before they were literally marched off by their current chaperone. Valerian found that he was glad for this.\n\nThey had been on the road for an entire moon. The journey was long, far too long for Valerian\u2019s liking. He had been forced to spend the time in a carriage that held twenty others. While it was not cramped, the lack of personal space bothered him. The decreasing hygiene and air quality, however, had bothered him even more. He understood that not everyone had the luxury of self-cleaning armour but he had still expected some amount of personal grooming on the part of his fellows. It was a mistake.\n\nHonestly, it seemed like the youth four heads down had never even bothered to rinse his mouth since they met. Some of the others were worse. Valerian tried not to think about it. He had chosen to spend his time aboard meditating, deepening his affinity to the wind. The fact that it kept the others away and surrounded him in clean air made him glad he was an arcanist.\n\nCleanliness aside, the others were actually quite impressive. All of them were consolidated first tiers and none were older than twenty-five. For a few days, Valerian had been stunned by the sight of so many \u2018prodigies\u2019.

The main reason for buying power generator is to provide people temporary power when there is power outage but since it is noisy, the word comfort that most people think is tainted. They\u2019d rather just go out of the house and go to the nearest mall than stay at home and experience a noisy and annoying environment. These days, many gas generators have been developed and its ability to be quiet is one factor that has been taken into consideration by manufacturers. There are now quiet gas generators that are quite similar to solid rocket propellant. The purpose of this generator is to maximize the energy available to it by producing volumes of cool gas. Gas generators were made primarily to be available during emergency purposes such as when a sick elderly or a baby shouldn\u2019t experience extreme temperature and there is power outage. This is also used for professional purposes such as in the company\u2019s or industries or even when doing some professional work. Some people use this for recreational purposes such as when they are out on a camp or somewhere outdoors. Gas generators are fuelled by different kinds of fuel may it be gasoline, propane, diesel or natural gases and one of the most common among them is fuelled by chemical oxygen. This type of generator is quite when giving out power. It is also helpful to the environment wherein it doesn\u2019t give out dirty air or black smoke unlike when using a gasoline-fuelled generator. The good thing about this too is that it gives out a breathable air instead of carbon dioxide. Like what you can notice when using gasoline generator, you can\u2019t come near that machine because it smells gasoline and you can\u2019t inhale the smoke otherwise you\u2019ll be suffocated. With the chemical oxygen type, working beside that generator is not a problem. This is because this kind of generator has a silencer built in it. Buying a generator is indeed worth because it is also long-lasting and durable. However, the durability of every machine depends on the user as well. As long as you maintain your machine, you are ensured that it will last long. Taking care of generator is not that difficult. Cleaning it from time to time is very important. Also, before using it for the first time, make sure that you have understood all the precautionary measures mentioned in the manual of the generator otherwise, you will end up either causing accidents or buying a new generator. When dealing with machines, having a thorough knowledge of its parts, the purpose of each and the overall handling procedures is very important. As long as you master how to operate your machine, you are sure that you can get your money\u2019s worth.\n\nLook for Quiet Gas Generators<|endoftext|>site index [Picture of the Day logo]\n\nPicture of the Day\nJuly 2, 2019\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 How did I get here and\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 why must I trade my time\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 and toil just to stay alive when\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 others never lift a finger living in\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 utmost luxury?

If this happens, follow these steps to purge the air from the jack.\n\n 1. With the saw in the mobile base, fully lower the saw by stepping on the left side of the release lever. The release lever is below the foot pedal.\n 2. There are three screws on the front of the release lever and the center screw holds the lever on a hexagonal shaft. Remove only the center screw and slide the lever off the hexagonal shaft, noting the rotational position of the lever relative to the shaft so that you can slide the lever back on the shaft in the same orientation.\n 3.

Their journey had brought them to a cluster of large hills and to a valley mouth obstructed by a massive gate. The scenery was beautiful but they were barely given any time to take in their surroundings before they were literally marched off by their current chaperone. Valerian found that he was glad for this.\n\nThey had been on the road for an entire moon. The journey was long, far too long for Valerian\u2019s liking. He had been forced to spend the time in a carriage that held twenty others. While it was not cramped, the lack of personal space bothered him. The decreasing hygiene and air quality, however, had bothered him even more. He understood that not everyone had the luxury of self-cleaning armour but he had still expected some amount of personal grooming on the part of his fellows. It was a mistake.\n\nHonestly, it seemed like the youth four heads down had never even bothered to rinse his mouth since they met. Some of the others were worse. Valerian tried not to think about it. He had chosen to spend his time aboard meditating, deepening his affinity to the wind. The fact that it kept the others away and surrounded him in clean air made him glad he was an arcanist.\n\nCleanliness aside, the others were actually quite impressive. All of them were consolidated first tiers and none were older than twenty-five. For a few days, Valerian had been stunned by the sight of so many \u2018prodigies\u2019.

Where did this misconception come from? Most likely from the unique halachot of erev Pesach that falls out on Shabbat. When this occurs, and neither bread nor matzah may be eaten in the afternoon, the obligation to eat Seudah Shelishit is difficult to fulfill. The Talmud (Pesachim 13a) records that when erev Pesach falls out on Shabbat, one should leave over chometz for two Shabbat meals\u2014Friday night and Shabbat morning. Rashi explains that food for three meals is not needed because the afternoon meal cannot be eaten; thus, when erev Pesach falls on Shabbat, there is a requirement for two meals only.\n\nSome rabbinic authorities, however, do not endorse canceling the Third Meal, and they offer numerous suggestions on how to fulfill the obligation: 3\n\n1.

Thus it appears that according to the Zohar, the obligation to eat the Third Meal can be fulfilled via Torah study. The Gra, however, (444:7) understands the Zohar to mean that Seudah Shelishit can only be fulfilled with bread, and that when erev Pesach falls out on Shabbat, the obligation to eat Seudah Shelishit is canceled. So too, the Meiri (Pesachim 13a) opines that when erev Pesach falls out on Shabbat, there is no obligation to eat Seudah Shelishit. This position is elaborated on by the Aruch Hashulchan (OC 444:6), who explains that just like when Yom Kippur falls out on Shabbat there is no obligation of Seudah Shelishit, similarly, on erev Pesach that falls out on Shabbat the obligation is canceled.\n\nOthers disagree with the Gra and Aruch Hashulchan, maintaining that there is an obligation of Seduah Shelishit on erev Pesach. The Kaf HaChaim (444:18) says that Rav Shimon Bar Yochai did fulfill his obligation to eat Seudah Shelishit via learning because he understood the kabbalistic meaning behind the obligation and could accomplish the purpose of the mitzvah through his learning.

One of those accompanying him asked: Why don\u2019t we fulfill the obligation with divrei Torah? In a clever retort, Rav Soloveichik stated that the possibility exists that one of those present might refute the chiddushim that he would say; in that case, there would be neither food nor Torah, and the obligation to have Seudah Shelishit would not be fulfilled!

How do we do this?\n\nTypically the times when we need to remind ourselves of this (and thus train our monkey) is when our thoughts or emotions are off in the corner hooting \u2018n hollering, scratching their metaphorical arses and flinging shit around.\n\nWe are NOT our thoughts or emotions, so by stepping outside these for a moment, we can regain control.\n\nThe simple act of reminding ourselves \u201cI\u2019m the boss\u201d will often be enough to help calm us and help us drop whatever is bothering us.\n\nThe usual suggestions apply, of tapping (if possible \u2013 or even just the chest point) will help damp our energy systems enormously, or releasing, if we\u2019re slightly more in control.\n\nWe can remember that our reaction is simply a picture, and drop that. As Viktor Frankl points out: \u201cThe last of human freedoms is the ability to choose one\u2019s attitude in a given set of circumstances.\u201d We may not control our external situation, but we always, always have control over our reactions to that situation.\n\nIt may seem like an impossibly long road, but remember: every step is a step closer to our goal. Even tiny improvements each day will add up to huge shifts over time.\n\nEvery time we remind ourselves, \u201cI\u2019m the boss\u201d, it becomes a little more true, and we step ever closer to inner peace, where no-one and nothing bothers us.<|endoftext|>1. ITV Report\n\nLack of sleep damaging academic development of children\n\nResearch published today has revealed that the academic development of British children is being significantly affected by dangerously low levels of sleep.\n\nThe findings have revealed that 36 per cent of primary school age children get eight hours or less sleep a night Credit: ITV News\nNo. hours NHS recommends children should sleep each night\nProportion of primary school age children getting seven hours sleep or less according to findings\n\nThe study, carried out by the University of Leeds in conjunction with Silentnight, looks into the effect of bedtime routines and the impact on quality of life of 6-11 year olds.\n\nLed by Dr Anna Weighall, a developmental cognitive psychologist with expertise in sleep research, this is the first major study to characterise children's sleep habits in the UK and has been conducted after consultation from more than a thousand parents.\n\nThe findings have revealed that 36 per cent of primary school age children get eight hours or less sleep a night and 15 per cent get seven hours or less. Such low levels of sleep are likely to have a negative impact on a child's ability to function in the classroom and reach key milestones.\n\nDr Anna Weighall has explained how the findings were particularly concerning, with the low levels reported likely to impair long term cognitive and academic development in children.\n\nPoor routine could be to blame, with 83 per cent of children reporting being awake by 6:30am on a weekday despite five per cent still being awake at 10pm the night before and 16 per cent still being awake at 9pm.\n\nOur results show that children who experience inadequate sleep are more likely to have problems paying attention in class, forgetting things and keeping up with school work, and may then end up missing school because they feel unwell.\n\nWhat's clear from our data is that parents know how much sleep children should be getting but for whatever reason it's not being made a priority and children just aren't getting the necessary time in bed. From looking into bedtime and waking patterns we can see that families are consistently going to bed late during the week and on top of this children are regularly having later nights at weekends, disrupting their sleep patterns and contributing to problems during the school week.\n\nWe also looked into the amount of sleep parents are getting to get a clear picture of family life and routine and we found that many parents are also getting chronically low levels of sleep.\n\nNearly 50 per cent report getting six hours or less a night and an even more concerning 24 per cent get five hours or less. As well as being associated with a whole host of health problems including cardiovascular disease and obesity, these levels amongst parents could be significantly impacting children's sleep.\n\nThere are clear indications from our research that suggest by addressing their own sleep patterns, parents could dramatically improve their children's overall wellbeing and academic performance.\n\n\u2013 Dr Anna Weighall\n\nAs well as poor routine the research found technology to be a key contributing factor to lack of sleep amongst children, even from the age of six.\n\nThe findings show that children who have smartphones or tablets in the bedroom sleep less than those who leave their devices out of the bedroom - losing up to an hour of sleep a night compared to", "base_doc": " to meditate.\n\nAnother (slightly more boring) description for this might be \u201clearning self discipline.\u201d\n\nNow, there are a few tricks that can help here.\n\nFor example, if you\u2019re trying to develop a habit, don\u2019t make it something you have to choose to do every day, make a choice once and stick with that.\n\nI\u2019ll give you an example.\n\nWhen I was training Aikido regularly, I would go to EVERY training session.\n\nIt could be 6am and so cold we trained in hats and gloves; I\u2019d go.\nIt could be pouring with rain (we trained outside); I\u2019d go.\nIt could be 42 degrees C; I\u2019d go.\n\n\nBecause I knew if I had to make a choice every day whether to go or not, I\u2019d be weak.

Or to be kind to ourselves.\n\nIn these situations, we really do have to constantly (as much as we can remember) go back and repeat, and repeat and repeat the same action over and over until it sinks in.\n\nWhat are we ACTUALLY doing here?\n\nYes, we\u2019re training our monkey mind.\n\nWe are also, in a very real sense, exerting our authority over ourselves.\n\nWe\u2019re reminding ourselves of the truth that \u201cI\u2019m the boss.\u201d\n\nRemember how we\u2019re not our mind, not our body and not our emotions?\n\nWell, when our thoughts or emotions start going haywire, this is when reminding ourselves that we\u2019re the boss becomes super important.\n\nIf we remind ourselves who\u2019s in charge, it strengthens our power over those parts of ourselves that are causing problems.\n\nEvery time we let go of a non loving thought, say, or relax and let go when we get upset by something, we\u2019re strengthening our control over our monkey mind.\n\nWe\u2019re strengthening our authority over ourselves.\n\nWe\u2019re becoming MORE the boss of ourselves.\n\nAnd, like any muscle, the more we exercise it, the stronger we become.\n\nThe stronger our self discipline. The more authority we create. The easier it becomes for us to retain control over ourselves and our situation.\n\nThe more we remind ourselves that we\u2019re the boss, the more true it will become.\n\n\nViktor Frankl, Auschwitz survivor\n\nSo. How do we do this?\n\nTypically the times when we need to remind ourselves of this (and thus train our monkey) is when our thoughts or emotions are off in the corner hooting \u2018n hollering, scratching their metaphorical arses and flinging shit around.\n\nWe are NOT our thoughts or emotions, so by stepping outside these for a moment, we can regain control.\n\nThe simple act of reminding ourselves \u201cI\u2019m the boss\u201d will often be enough to help calm us and help us drop whatever is bothering us.\n\nThe usual suggestions apply, of tapping (if possible \u2013 or even just the chest point) will help damp our energy systems enormously, or releasing, if we\u2019re slightly more in control.\n\nWe can remember that our reaction is simply a picture, and drop that. As Viktor Frankl points out: \u201cThe last of human freedoms is the ability to choose one\u2019s attitude in a given set of circumstances.\u201d We may not control our external situation, but we always, always have control over our reactions to that situation.\n\nIt may seem like an impossibly long road, but remember: every step is a step closer to our goal. Even tiny improvements each day will add up to huge shifts over time.\n\nEvery time we remind ourselves, \u201cI\u2019m the boss\u201d, it becomes a little more true, and we step ever closer to inner peace, where no-one and nothing bothers us.<|endoftext|>1. ITV Report\n\nLack of sleep damaging academic development of children\n\nResearch published today has revealed that the academic development of British children is being significantly affected by dangerously low levels of sleep.\n\nThe findings have revealed that 36 per cent of primary school age children get eight hours or less sleep a night Credit: ITV News\nNo. hours NHS recommends children should sleep each night\nProportion of primary school age children getting seven hours sleep or less according to findings\n\nThe study, carried out by the University of Leeds in conjunction with Silentnight, looks into the effect of bedtime routines and the impact on quality of life of 6-11 year olds.\n\nLed by Dr Anna Weighall, a developmental cognitive psychologist with expertise in sleep research, this is the first major study to characterise children's sleep habits in the UK and has been conducted after consultation from more than a thousand parents.\n\nThe findings have revealed that 36 per cent of primary school age children get eight hours or less sleep a night and 15 per cent get seven hours or less. Such low levels of sleep are likely to have a negative impact on a child's ability to function in the classroom and reach key milestones.\n\nDr Anna Weighall has explained how the findings were particularly concerning, with the low levels reported likely to impair long term cognitive and academic development in children.\n\nPoor routine could be to blame, with 83 per cent of children reporting being awake by 6:30am on a weekday despite five per cent still being awake at 10pm the night before and 16 per cent still being awake at 9pm.\n\nOur results show that children who experience inadequate sleep are more likely to have problems paying attention in class, forgetting things and keeping up with school work, and may then end up missing school because they feel unwell.\n\nWhat's clear from our data is that parents know how much sleep children should be getting but for whatever reason it's not being made a priority and children just aren't getting the necessary time in bed. From looking into bedtime and waking patterns we can see that families are consistently going to bed late during the week and on top of this children are regularly having later nights at weekends, disrupting their sleep patterns and contributing to problems during the school week.\n\nWe also looked into the amount of sleep parents are getting to get a clear picture of family life and routine and we found that many parents are also getting chronically low levels of sleep.\n\nNearly 50 per cent report getting six hours or less a night and an even more concerning 24 per cent get five hours or less. As well as being associated with a whole host of health problems including cardiovascular disease and obesity, these levels amongst parents could be significantly impacting children's sleep.\n\nThere are clear indications from our research that suggest by addressing their own sleep patterns, parents could dramatically improve their children's overall wellbeing and academic performance.\n\n\u2013 Dr Anna Weighall\n\nAs well as poor routine the research found technology to be a key contributing factor to lack of sleep amongst children, even from the age of six.\n\nThe findings show that children who have smartphones or tablets in the bedroom sleep less than those who leave their devices out of the bedroom - losing up to an hour of sleep a night compared to families that keep bedrooms a tech-free zone. This sleep loss applied even to children who kept devices in their room but had them switched off and the trend increased as they got older, with 11-year-olds losing the most sleep because of tech.\n\nOther factors keeping children awake include worries about bullying and worries about homework.\n\nOne in six parents said their children's sleep has been affected by bullying, with parents most concerned about the problem saying their child got up to an hour less sleep than children whose parents did not see it as a concern.\n\nNearly a third of parents surveyed who said their child worried about homework and believed worries about homework have a negative effect on their child's sleep, with children who worry about homework getting nearly an hour's less sleep than their peers who do not.<|endoftext|>you tube\n\nShop with confidence\n\n\nSafe & Secure\n\nCredit card details are encrypted.\n\n\n\nExpress shipping for all orders.\n\n\nTax Free\n\nTax free sales for international customers at the checkout.\n\nShip with confidence\nPayment Logos\n\nChoosing a didgeridoo\n\n\n1- Choosing a good didgeridoo\n\n2- The Construction of a didgeridoo\n\n", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 125972, "pt_loc": 14902658, "pt_shuffle_idx": 99272339, "doc_index_f": 155605579, "doc_index_l": 155605581, "offset_f": 225, "offset_l": 88, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 254, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [1117, 843, 89]} -{"pt_doc": "the domestic history of our\nRoyal Family.\n\nThe smallest praise that can be bestowed on Tennyson's official poems is\nthat they are immeasurably superior to any produced by former Laureates;\nand although the events recorded have but a passing interest, the poems\nwill probably long retain their popularity.

They might buy boot polish, but it's so unlikely as to be a complete waste of money putting a Kiwi voucher through the door.\"\n\nOn the other hand, the patterns might show quite clearly that 5,000 people bought something called \"product A\" and \"product B\" and \"product C\" and went on to buy \"product D\" three weeks later. So if you can dig out all the people who bought A, B and C but have not yet bought D, and mail them, you're clearly looking at a common pattern. So drop them a discount voucher for D!\n\nAnd D turns out to be baby clothes, and the man of the household is vastly amused: \"Darling, look at this! Those idiots at Sainsbury's are sending us baby clothes vouchers! As if we would want to start a family!\" - and she says, turning pink and coughing: \"Dear, I've been meaning to tell you, I've missed my last period...\"\n\nAnd this actually happened. As you can imagine, the angry letters poured in: \"Who told you...!?\" and the project was subtly modified.\n\nThat's how spooks work. They don't care what you're talking about until they know you're a threat. They work out whether you're a threat or not by looking for patterns (and in deference to my friends in Cheltenham, I won't go into much more detail) in your ordinary, everyday behaviour, which betrays who your friends are. Most of that information is stuff you'd never think to make secret.\n\nAnd this is the important part - you'd never think to ask Parliament to say: \"Protect me from this!\"\n\nNow, your credit card records are commercially confidential, but are they a State-protected secret? Your electricity bill payments, your bank statements, your phone call bills, your email address book...your Oyster card details for the subway rail, your fuel purchases...is any of that prohibited for Government databases?\n\nWhy would you care?\n\nNow, look at the success of Touching the Void. It languished on the remainder list for two years until Amazon started telling people who read a different book on mountain climbing: \"We see that people who read what you're reading, enjoyed this!\"\n\nOr look at the way Tivo works. It matches the sort of TV you actually watch with what you record, and actually anticipates your interest in new series' which you haven't even heard of yet, based on viewing patterns which it recognises.\n\nWhere am I going with this?\n\nImagine that you have an unfortunate trend in your thinking. Imagine that you find yourself following a train of thought which matches a sequence which has been seen before among enemies of the Government.\n\n\"Great!\" you say. \"This means that the enforcement people can actually anticipate terrorist acts? Spot potential terrorists before they even realise they're on the path to mayhem?\"\n\nNo. Not terrorists, just enemies. Hostile journalists, campaigning lobbyists, critical journalists, businessmen who are likely to sponsor rival parties, people who oppose the party leader's favourite idea of the year.\n\nYou, yourself, possibly don't realise where you're heading. They do. They can now take action, as appropriate.\n\nAppropriate action?", "base_doc": "'ve had books where I've gotten into the first few chapters and didn't like them so much...kinda disappointing!\n\n 4.

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

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

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

This is so heartbreaking and anyone reading this can only pray to God to give us and our children good health so we don't need to visit hospitals especially the public ones. It\u2019s so heartbreaking and unthinkable! This shouldn't happen in a country that is independent. So in a new interview, Mr Ibu made mention of how he does not woo women but how they woo him and run after him and we had wanted to make our story line in that direction until we got to the part where he explained how he lost his young son at LUTH so we decided to feature that. His narration right after the cut. Things are happening in this country mehn...\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n 1.

Committee on Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling\n\nI had the honor of testifying on July 17 before the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on the subject of lithium-ion battery recycling in the United States.\u00a0 The Senate\u2019s interest in the topic is timely, given NAATBatt\u2019s just ended workshop on the same subject in Buffalo, New York.\u00a0 A copy of my oral testimony is

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

Rumble and Frenzy fell into a chaotic laughter. Rolt relieved himself for a second time. His optics seething with yellow energy.\n\n \u2018Sorry, maybe I didn\u2019t make myself clear again, will you suck my oily aft?\u2019\n\n \u2018I\u2014I\u2014,\u2019 Decimus was speechless, he had never been spoken to in such a way.\n\n \u2018Will you take your moist, squishy, hyper-glossed, upper-class lips, wrap them around my puckered aft-shoot, and suck the grease that I dispense from it? I just\u2014I want to be sure you\u2019re getting this.\u2019\n\n \u2018Why I\u2026\u2019 Decimus looked as though he were about to fall into emergency stasis-lock.\n\n \u2018I\u2019m sorry, it\u2019s just\u2014I like it when people suck on my aft. It\u2019s one of my dirty pleasures. And I like stupid, nobles with big, aft-sucking lips to do it. I\u2019m looking for someone with some biiiiig lips to give the ol\u2019 backside a good suck, and I was wondering if you could be that aft-sucker I was looking for.\u2019\n\n Decimus reached into his chest compartment and pulled out a cloth, which he used to dab at his helm. \u2018Why I never\u2026\u2019\n\n One of the guards ushered Decimus off the stage, and away from the miners. \u2018How dare you refer to a member of the Senate in such a way!\u2019\n\n The mech smirked. \u2018Are you gonna do anything about it?\u2019\n\n In a flash, the Guard whipped out a pistol and fired it at the Miner. A mechanism sprang out and attached itself to his chest, causing shocks to run through the mech\u2019s body, slowly forcing him into his vehicular mode. When the transformation completed, Imprint\u2019s partner was rendered still, and silent.\n\n \u2018Gotta love a good mode-lock.\u2019 The guard said, before looking over to Rolt. \u2018You\u2019d better deal with him.\u2019\n\n As the guards proceeded to depart with Decimus, Rolt sprang after them.\n\n \u2018Ohmygodohmygod, I am so, so sorry Senator Decimus.

For the record, my boyfriend and I moved down here two years ago (from the Bay Area) because this is where he got accepted to grad school.

If nothing else they are just sort of a comical part of the atmosphere.

The bay area is quite the beer drinking sports bar kind of town. Maybe even more so than here. People up there love their Niners and there Giants. It\u2019s quite the microbrew town too (which is a good thing).\n\nAnyway the most two most laughable things he said was \u201cthe rest of us will suffer in silence\u201d and the part about his relatives from Hawaii considering this a redneck town, something even you acknowledged was silly.

Grande-Terre has low limestone cliffs and little rainfall; sugar and rum are its chief products. There also is subsistence farming, livestock raising, and fishing. Additionally, France provides many subsidies and necessities to Guadeloupe.\n\nThe population is mainly of African or mixed descent and largely Roman Catholic. French and a Creole patois are spoken. The head of government is a commissioner appointed by France. The legislature consists of a 36-member, popularly elected general council and a regional council.\n\nSighted by Christopher Columbus in 1493, Guadeloupe was only feebly colonized by the Spanish and was finally abandoned in 1604. In 1635 settlement was begun by the French, who eliminated the native Caribs and imported slaves from Africa for plantation work. By the end of the 17th cent., Guadeloupe was a leading world sugar producer and one of France's most valuable colonies. The islands were hotly contested with the English until they were confirmed as French possessions in 1815. During World War II, Guadeloupe at first adhered to the Vichy regime in France, but an accord with the United States in 1942 led to its support of the Free French. In 1946 the colony of Guadeloupe became an overseas department of France, and in 1974 it became an administrative center. Its deputies sit in the French National Assembly in Paris.\n\n\n\na country in the West Indies; a French possession, since 1946, an overseas department of France. The possession consists of the main island, Guadeloupe; the small islands Marie-Galante, La D\u00e9sirade, Les Saintes, St. Barth\u00e9l\u00e9my, and Petite-Terre; and the northern part of St. Martin (the southern part belongs to the Netherlands). Area, 1,779 sq km. Population, 323,000 (1969), chiefly Negroes and mulattoes. Official language, French. Religion, Catholic. Administered by a prefect appointed by the French government; it has an elected general council. In the French Parliament, Guadeloupe is represented by three deputies and two senators. Administrative center, Basse-Terre.\n\nHistorical survey. In 1674, Guadeloupe was declared the property of the French crown. In 1666, 1691, and 1703 the English attempted to take over Guadeloupe. In 1759 they succeeded in capturing the island, but under the Paris Peace Treaty of 1763, Guadeloupe was returned to France. In 1794 the British again invaded the island. However, the commissioner of the Convention, Victor Hugues, was sent to Guadeloupe, where he declared the Negro population free, armed it, and in 1794 managed to expel the British. Guadeloupe in fact remained an independent republic until 1802, when an expedition dispatched by Napoleon restored the previous colonial system on the island, including slavery (abolished in 1848). In 1805 the French Civil Code was put into force on the island. In 1810 the British recaptured Guadeloupe, but returned it to France in 1816 under the Treaty of Paris.\n\nColonial dominance led to a one-sided development of Guadeloupe\u2019s economy; only the agricultural branches intended for export developed (sugarcane, bananas, coffee, and cacao). At the end of the 19th century a number of industrial enterprises were built to process agricultural produce, which led to the appearance of an industrial proletariat in Guadeloupe.\n\nDuring World War II the first communist groups sprang up in Guadeloupe, and in 1958 the Guadeloupe Communist Party (GCP) was founded. The struggle of Guadeloupe\u2019s population to abolish the colonial regime compelled the ruling circles of France to initiate certain reforms. In 1946, Guadeloupe received the status of an overseas department. However, the one-sided character of the economy (France accounts for 75 percent of the exports and 90 percent of the imports) and the peculiarity of the administrative structure promote the preservation of many features of the colonial order in Guadeloupe. The basic demand of progressive forces is that Guadeloupe be granted autonomy.\n\n\nEconomy. Guadeloupe is a backward agrarian country. Twenty-seven percent of the territory is cultivated, 10 percent is pastures and meadows, 31 percent is forest, and other lands make up 32 percent. Principal agricultural crops for export are sugarcane (25,000 hectares [ha], 162,000 tons of unrefined sugar in 1968-1969), bananas (8,000 ha, 180,000 tons), coffee, and cacao. Vanilla and citrus fruits are also grown. Cattle, goats, and hogs are raised. There is fishing, and agricultural produce is processed, mainly for the production of sugar and rum.

Grande-Terre has low limestone cliffs and little rainfall; sugar and rum are its chief products. There also is subsistence farming, livestock raising, and fishing. Additionally, France provides many subsidies and necessities to Guadeloupe.\n\nThe population is mainly of African or mixed descent and largely Roman Catholic. French and a Creole patois are spoken. The head of government is a commissioner appointed by France. The legislature consists of a 36-member, popularly elected general council and a regional council.\n\nSighted by Christopher Columbus in 1493, Guadeloupe was only feebly colonized by the Spanish and was finally abandoned in 1604. In 1635 settlement was begun by the French, who eliminated the native Caribs and imported slaves from Africa for plantation work. By the end of the 17th cent., Guadeloupe was a leading world sugar producer and one of France's most valuable colonies. The islands were hotly contested with the English until they were confirmed as French possessions in 1815. During World War II, Guadeloupe at first adhered to the Vichy regime in France, but an accord with the United States in 1942 led to its support of the Free French. In 1946 the colony of Guadeloupe became an overseas department of France, and in 1974 it became an administrative center. Its deputies sit in the French National Assembly in Paris.\n\n\n\na country in the West Indies; a French possession, since 1946, an overseas department of France. The possession consists of the main island, Guadeloupe; the small islands Marie-Galante, La D\u00e9sirade, Les Saintes, St. Barth\u00e9l\u00e9my, and Petite-Terre; and the northern part of St. Martin (the southern part belongs to the Netherlands). Area, 1,779 sq km. Population, 323,000 (1969), chiefly Negroes and mulattoes. Official language, French. Religion, Catholic. Administered by a prefect appointed by the French government; it has an elected general council. In the French Parliament, Guadeloupe is represented by three deputies and two senators. Administrative center, Basse-Terre.\n\nHistorical survey. In 1674, Guadeloupe was declared the property of the French crown. In 1666, 1691, and 1703 the English attempted to take over Guadeloupe. In 1759 they succeeded in capturing the island, but under the Paris Peace Treaty of 1763, Guadeloupe was returned to France. In 1794 the British again invaded the island. However, the commissioner of the Convention, Victor Hugues, was sent to Guadeloupe, where he declared the Negro population free, armed it, and in 1794 managed to expel the British. Guadeloupe in fact remained an independent republic until 1802, when an expedition dispatched by Napoleon restored the previous colonial system on the island, including slavery (abolished in 1848). In 1805 the French Civil Code was put into force on the island. In 1810 the British recaptured Guadeloupe, but returned it to France in 1816 under the Treaty of Paris.\n\nColonial dominance led to a one-sided development of Guadeloupe\u2019s economy; only the agricultural branches intended for export developed (sugarcane, bananas, coffee, and cacao). At the end of the 19th century a number of industrial enterprises were built to process agricultural produce, which led to the appearance of an industrial proletariat in Guadeloupe.\n\nDuring World War II the first communist groups sprang up in Guadeloupe, and in 1958 the Guadeloupe Communist Party (GCP) was founded. The struggle of Guadeloupe\u2019s population to abolish the colonial regime compelled the ruling circles of France to initiate certain reforms. In 1946, Guadeloupe received the status of an overseas department. However, the one-sided character of the economy (France accounts for 75 percent of the exports and 90 percent of the imports) and the peculiarity of the administrative structure promote the preservation of many features of the colonial order in Guadeloupe. The basic demand of progressive forces is that Guadeloupe be granted autonomy.\n\n\nEconomy. Guadeloupe is a backward agrarian country. Twenty-seven percent of the territory is cultivated, 10 percent is pastures and meadows, 31 percent is forest, and other lands make up 32 percent. Principal agricultural crops for export are sugarcane (25,000 hectares [ha], 162,000 tons of unrefined sugar in 1968-1969), bananas (8,000 ha, 180,000 tons), coffee, and cacao. Vanilla and citrus fruits are also grown. Cattle, goats, and hogs are raised. There is fishing, and agricultural produce is processed, mainly for the production of sugar and rum.

Area, 1,703 sq km. Together with adjacent islands it forms Guadeloupe, an overseas department of France. A narrow isthmus connects the two parts of the island, Basse-Terre and Grande-Terre. Basse-Terre is made of volcanic rock. It has heights of up to 1,467 m (the active volcano Soufri\u00e8re is the highest peak in the Lesser Antilles). Grande-Terre is a plateau up to 130 m high, made up of Neocene limestones and volcanic tuff. There are almost no permanent rivers, since water seeps into the cracks in the limestones. The climate is tropical, with a trade wind, and hot and humid. Annual precipitation reaches 1,500-2,000 mm. The mountains are covered by a humid, tropical forest (palms, treelike ferns).

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

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

It spans the highway, and you can get a Starbucks coffee and a Krispy Kreme doughnut and sit and watch the traffic stream underneath you:\n\nThe Belvidere Oasis on Route 90\n\nThey have two spiffy VW vans -- both with big Sponge Bob dolls in the front seats -- that each has four compartments filled with stuffed dolls to play that arcade game where you manipulate that gripper device to try to snag a prize before your time runs out:\n\nThe Belvidere Oasis on Route 90\n\nWhoever loaded up the Flintstones compartment put the Betty Rubble dolls on top, face down, with their skirts pushed up so you could see their white underpants.

I'm going to toss a few things into my Audi TT Coupe, which has never been more than a hundred or so miles from home, and take it for its first long trip. I've booked hotels with WiFi, and I'll have my camera at all times, so you can expect to see some Cleveland blogging here this evening.\n\nExciting, isn't it?\n\nAnd thanks to all the great commenters who gave me tips about things to do in Cleveland (and between Cleveland and Ithaca and in Ithaca)!\n\nWhen the satire gets way out", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 143968, "pt_loc": 28220694, "pt_shuffle_idx": 156172293, "doc_index_f": 244802929, "doc_index_l": 244802930, "offset_f": 703, "offset_l": 415, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 220, "pt_injection_len": 268, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [1633, 416]} -{"pt_doc": "intense humbug that can be imagined.

No thanks, Big K. [u]Dreams[/u] is simply too much talk, not enough show, and far too obvious for its own good.\n\nThankfully, not every segment is as bad as [i]Mount Fuji in Red[/i], though most were similarly unsatisfying to varying degrees.

The beginning of this segment, when one of Van Gogh's paintings transforms into a real scene, was breathtaking. Watching Akira Terao hop around in various paintings of Van Gogh was really amusing, and had me smiling like an idiot.

A lot of these dreams come down to people just talking about a certain topic in the most direct, simplistic way. How the hell can dreams be so monotonous, obvious, and dull? It's beyond me. Each dream is also far too short, which must be mentioned. There isn't enough time for any to make an impression because they're all over before they even begin. There isn't enough time given to draw one in and develop interest. It kept me disconnected by shifting to a new story with every blink of an eye. [i]Sunshine Through The Rain[/i] ends just when it feels like it's getting good, for example. [u]Dreams[/u] would have been better, I think, by being a hell of a lot longer or by cutting the number of segments down to, say, four or five, and just fleshing those out.\n\n[u]Dreams[/u] isn't really a bad film. I can't call it a bad film. Admittedly, I did enjoy some of the segments to various degrees, and the style is just amazing. The colors! The music! Martin Scorsese! Some of the segments have really nice editing and rhythm, too, especially the first two ([i]Sunshine Through The Rain[/i] and [i]The Peach Orchard[/i]). But for all its jaw dropping worth, it's simply too insubstantial. Segments are too short and too obvious to develop any kind of connection with myself as a viewer. I was never really involved with the film beyond a \"look at the colors!\" level, and afterwards, there was no lingering effect. It just isn't a meal, you know? I had an appetite for a good movie, and [u]Dreams[/u] left me as hungry afterwards as I had been before. I appreciate its technical craft, but come on Big K; those dreams just aren't interesting. If [u]Dreams[/u] is any indication, Kurosawa's late period (which, for the sake of argument, I will define as his color films) is every bit as rocky and problematic as his early period (which, for the sake of argument, I will define as his pre-[u]Rashomon[/u] films). Oh well, at least he partied hard during the 50s and 60s.\n\nThe Steamroller and the Violin (Katok i Skripka) (The Skating Rink and the Violin)\n7 years ago via Rotten Tomatoes\n\n\n[u]The Steamroller and the Violin[/u] (1960, Andrei Tarkovsky) - [color=seagreen][45][/color]\n\n[u]The Steamroller and the Violin[/u] is the school thesis film of legendary Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky. Running only 45 minutes long, it is a short film about a brief relationship between a young musician, Sasha (Igor Fomchenko) and a construction worker, Sergei (Vladimir Zamansky). Sasha is the violin and Sergei the steamroller of the film's title. It is a simple, sentimental tale of making friends in unlikely places, and what each character teaches the other. Sasha represents the artist, and Sergei the everyday working man. The film is ultimately about how the artist can inform the working man, and vice versa; it is about what each has to offer to the other.\n\nThere are political and social motives at work behind this film, as we see in the artist and working man relationship of the narrative and the backdrop of old Russia being torn apart in the advent of a new Russia being built. Unfortunately, what I know of Russian history is little, and thus I'm not the person to be asking about specifics, as I have no idea exactly what Tarkovsky is looking at in late 1950s Russia. I can, however, tell you whether or not the narrative, the story being told, works. It sort of does, but not nearly as much as I would have liked. And the style is poor. Tarkovsky is still a student and it does show.\n\nThe cast of the film does effective work all around, and at times [u]The Steamroller and the Violin[/u] can be a charming, enjoyable film. Unfortunately, the characters and the main relationship are really short changed. That could be because of the short runtime, but given the laid back pace and an extremely long introduction, there was more than enough time to explore this relationship more. As it is, it feels rather contrived, like Tarkovsky was just content to throw them together suddenly, run through a few scenes, arrive at a climax that is underwhelming and unaffecting thanks to all the short changing, and end the film. Tarkovsky just doesn't give enough to work with. Honestly, the film feels rather rote, like Tarkovsky just stuck it on autopilot. The style would seem to confirm that.\n\nTarkovsky's camera doesn't do much here, and the visuals aren't too impressive. There is much that works, however, and there are some very memorable images. But for all that is good, there is a lot that isn't, such as the opening scene with the kids harassing Sasha. Poorly shot, poorly edited, and the whole \"kids picking on the musician\" thing was handled improperly, resulting in some unintentional comedy. I do sort of like the film, though. As I said, the cast is effective, and Tarkovsky does have his moments, and it's an often charming film. Some wonders are worked here despite the lack of material. I especially enjoyed a sequence where Sasha sort of flirts with a young girl while he waits for his violin lesson to begin. It captured childhood at its most innocent and playful. Still, I needed more. There just wasn't enough material, and thus the film just sort of peters out by the end, and I found myself unaffected and unengaged. It's a really rough, unimpressive package. Worth seeing only for exploring Tarkovsky's roots and completing his filmography. Otherwise, not entirely worth seeking out.\n\nVampire Hunter D\n7 years ago via Rotten Tomatoes\n\n\n[u]Vampire Hunter D[/u] (1985, Toyoo Ashida, et al) -[color=seagreen] [27][/color]\n\nI first watched [u]Vampire Hunter D[/u] a few years ago.

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

Stretching also boosts energy, adaptability and rest, which all help towards enhanced long-term memory as well.\n\nHold your memory new by taking away stress. When you are experience stressed about some thing it can be more challenging to pull up memorized data. Discover ways to relax your self before you decide to have to count in your memory for a job.

Refreshing make is stuffed with antioxidants, substances that have been proven to aid avert damage to your brain cells.\u00a0 Attempt consuming richly colored vegetables and fruit these kinds of as broccoli, apricots, bell peppers and blueberries since they have a tendency to possess the best concentrations of antioxidants.\n\nOne particular method you need to use to help you you dedicate factors to memory is always to use mnemonic devices.

I wanted an adorable neighborhood.\u00a0 Preferably a centrally-located neighborhood, because at this particular life juncture, I have a deep need to live close to the city.\u00a0 Maybe I always will.\n\n\nThere was one house we saw online, and after looking at its pictures, felt flatly unimpressed.\u00a0 The lighting was all wrong and, rather than take a picture of his backyard, the seller decided to show us a single picture of an Everlast punching bag.\u00a0 Presumably in the back yard.\u00a0 Presumably his favorite part about the back yard.\n\nStill.\u00a0 It was in our budget, and I noticed it was located only five miles away from our beloved Hyde Park abode.\u00a0 We decided to give it a shot.\n\nWhen", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 147240, "pt_loc": 28331550, "pt_shuffle_idx": 200665018, "doc_index_f": 314559242, "doc_index_l": 314559243, "offset_f": 379, "offset_l": 1146, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 312, "pt_injection_len": 323, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [902, 1147]} -{"pt_doc": "the audience had\nreceived favorably a \"Marguerite\" who was neither fat nor forty, and the\nnewspaper critics had united in giving me a most enthusiastic verdict\nof approval.\n\n[Illustration: \"MY THIRD SEASON OPENED IN TRAVIATA\"]\n\nNaturally after such a success I expected to be called upon again very\nsoon, but many weeks passed and still my name was not included in the\npublished casts given out from week to week.

But we live in happier\ndays, when our joy is to dwell rather on our substantial unity than on\npoints of different interpretation. Mr. White has won the recognition of\nthe whole Catholic Church as a stalwart standard-bearer in the \u201cgood\nfight of faith\u201d; and great was the satisfaction at Kensington, when one\nwho was just retiring from an arduous and remarkable ministry at Kentish\nTown was willing to give himself to the superintendence of the work at\nKensington, until the minister-elect had completed his college training.\n\nThe result of this<|endoftext|>blocks, and dead ends you may encounter in the journey so that you could overcome them as they arose.\n\nIn the case of the journey of life, lasting happiness is the destination. Soul Purpose is the compass, the spiritual realm is the mode of transportation. Spiritual disciplines are the fuel.\n\nSoul Purpose Roles are the directions, and the Four Stages of Living Soul Purpose represent the terrain.\n\nUnderstanding this whole picture is your map.\n\nHappiness: The Destination\n\nThe ultimate goal of all human beings is lasting happiness. Happiness is what drives and motivates us.\n\nWithout an understanding of the purpose of life and how to properly navigate it, most of us seek happiness in counterfeit and deceiving ways. While we have an intrinsic desire to seek it, few know how it can actually be found.\n\nHence, short-term pleasure often prevails over long-term joy.\u00a0 False security, based in external factors such as corporate and government benefits, is confused for the true security of Soul Purpose.\n\nSelfish greed replaces selfless service, pride trumps humility and true confidence, and stifling fear crowds out the beauty of love.\n\nAll of these counterfeits are a result of living from the ego-self, rather than the God-self. Finding happiness requires an understanding of who you really are\u2014that you are a spirit in a body that has a mind. You are not your body, nor are you your mind.\n\nThe vehicle in the journey of life is your body, while your mind is the on-board computer. Your spirit is you, the driver. Living a life that is driven by physical urges and/or mental calculations is like a car attempting to drive itself.\n\nTrue happiness is found by connecting with your God-self and bringing your Soul Purpose to the world in the most meaningful, powerful, and sustainable way possible.\n\nThe Spiritual Realm: The Mode of Transportation\n\nThere are three realms that we choose to live in and to take our mode of being from: the physical realm, the mental realm, and the spiritual realm. The physical realm is obviously the purview of the body\u2014those operating from this realm are controlled by physical appetites such as food, alcohol, drugs, sex, etc.\n\nIn the mental realm we raise our consciousness slightly by using our reasoning ability, yet we are controlled by the mind.\n\nIn the spiritual realm we access the highest plane of reality, the realm from which we can control both the body and the mind.\n\nSuppose you lived in New York and you wanted to get to London. Obviously, the only way to do so is to fly.\n\nOperating from the physical realm is like having a bicycle to take that journey, while the mental realm can be compared to having a car. Although a car is definitely better than a bike, in either case you\u2019re unable to reach your destination.\n\nOperating in the spiritual realm is like gaining access to a jet: not only are you able to make the journey, but also your altitude, and thus your perspective, are dramatically improved. In the physical and mental realms you do have certain parameters of mobility, yet you\u2019re navigating in the wrong places.\n\nThe \u201cjet\u201d of the spiritual realm allows you to fly over the prohibitive ocean of the ego-self in all its manifestations.\n\nYou cannot reach the destination of happiness through Soul Purpose in the physical and mental realms. It is impossible. The only way to reach your desired destination is to get into and stay in the spiritual realm.\n\nBy doing so you transcend the limitations of the body and the mind and access infinite power, a power that few even know exists.\n\nSpiritual Disciplines: The Fuel\n\nWhat would happen if you tried to put automobile fuel into a jet engine? It wouldn\u2019t operate, of course. Having the spiritual realm \u201cjet\u201d is not enough; you must also have the proper fuel to make it fly. The vehicle of your soul simply cannot fly without the fuel of spiritual disciplines.\n\nWhile Soul Purpose is who you are, spiritual disciplines are what you do to become your best self. They are daily routines that must be diligently performed in order to reach the spiritual realm.\n\nAlthough there are many more than these, we will focus on five core disciplines from which all others flow: Awareness, Pattern Interrupt, Reality Statement, Instant Prayer, and Love Meditation.\n\nNotice that these five form the acronym A.P.R.I.L.\n\nSpiritual Roles: The Directions\n\nIn my research I have identified twelve core Soul Purpose roles. Although there are infinite manifestations of each, every individual has one of these roles as their primary Soul Purpose theme. The roles describe how individuals view the world and interact with others, with whom they like to associate, the suffering that they alleviate, and the way that they serve.\n\nLearning your role is similar to taking a personality or aptitude test, only with much greater depth.\n\nSuppose you are a resident of Chicago, a city with a population of nearly three million. All three million residents have a map and they all have the goal of getting to City Hall. Even though they have the same map and are going to the same place, would they not all use different directions and take a different route to get there, since they\u2019re all coming from different places?\n\nYour Soul Purpose role is similar; although you share the same destination and map as everyone else, your particular path will be unique.\n\nFour Stages of Living Your Soul Purpose: The Terrain\n\nThe four stages required to discover and bring your Soul Purpose to the world are 1) dissolving the ego, 2) living with an awakened spirit, 3) discovering and declaring your Soul Purpose value proposition, and 4) designing your business and Soul Purpose marketing plan.\n\nIt is in the four stages that the metaphorical rubber hits the road. This is the practical phase of the Soul Purpose process.\n\nUnderstand that in any journey the map is different than the terrain. A road map can show you how to get from Los Angeles to New York but will tell you very little about the mountains, rivers, and deserts you will cross, nor will it tell you the condition of the roads.\n\nThe map can show you how to live your Soul Purpose, the terrain you will travel is different than the map. In the four stages you will learn how to successfully navigate the actual terrain by translating ideals into practical action.\n\nSoul Purpose: The Compass\n\nAlthough we\u2019ve already discussed Soul Purpose at length, now you are able to understand this \u201ccompass\u201d in its proper context and from a holistic perspective. Throughout your life\u2019s journey you may stray by falling prey to the ego-self, yet Soul Purpose never wavers no matter what errant paths you take.\n\nBuried by fear though it may be, it is always in your heart. It always calls for you to take one particular direction whether you\u2019re listening or not.\n\nLife\u2019s Lessons: Detours\n\nIn His infinite wisdom the Creator has built detours into the journey of life in order that we may learn valuable lessons and become stronger, more humble, more submissive, and more capable of serving others and achieving our highest potential.\nDetours are precessional.\n\nPrecession, a term coined by Buckminster Fuller, means the side effects of a system in motion. Precessional effects are the oft-unseen byproducts of your direct actions. They are like ripples in water from dropping a stone; although the stone goes straight down, the ripples flow outward.\n\nWith our limited perspective, we often focus solely on our direct actions, and crave direct results to flow from those actions. When we do not get what we want, or what we think we deserve based on our efforts, we feel frustrated by it.\n\nBut think of a honeybee: A honeybee can spend all day looking for nectar, go back to his hive feeling frustrated after a fruitless search, and yet, unbeknownst to him, will still be fulfilling a profound purpose, that of cross-pollination.\n\nIt is because of precession that submitting to the will of God, rather than imposing our ego desires, is absolutely critical. You may think that you\u2019re supposed to do one thing, yet God has different plans for you.\u00a0 Some plans that appear to be taking you further away from your purpose in actuality get you closer to it in the long run.\n\nThe Ego: Roadblocks and Dead-Ends\n\nWhile lessons and detours are placed in our path by a", "base_doc": "blocks, and dead ends you may encounter in the journey so that you could overcome them as they arose.\n\nIn the case of the journey of life, lasting happiness is the destination. Soul Purpose is the compass, the spiritual realm is the mode of transportation. Spiritual disciplines are the fuel.\n\nSoul Purpose Roles are the directions, and the Four Stages of Living Soul Purpose represent the terrain.\n\nUnderstanding this whole picture is your map.\n\nHappiness: The Destination\n\nThe ultimate goal of all human beings is lasting happiness. Happiness is what drives and motivates us.\n\nWithout an understanding of the purpose of life and how to properly navigate it, most of us seek happiness in counterfeit and deceiving ways. While we have an intrinsic desire to seek it, few know how it can actually be found.\n\nHence, short-term pleasure often prevails over long-term joy.\u00a0 False security, based in external factors such as corporate and government benefits, is confused for the true security of Soul Purpose.\n\nSelfish greed replaces selfless service, pride trumps humility and true confidence, and stifling fear crowds out the beauty of love.\n\nAll of these counterfeits are a result of living from the ego-self, rather than the God-self. Finding happiness requires an understanding of who you really are\u2014that you are a spirit in a body that has a mind. You are not your body, nor are you your mind.\n\nThe vehicle in the journey of life is your body, while your mind is the on-board computer. Your spirit is you, the driver. Living a life that is driven by physical urges and/or mental calculations is like a car attempting to drive itself.\n\nTrue happiness is found by connecting with your God-self and bringing your Soul Purpose to the world in the most meaningful, powerful, and sustainable way possible.\n\nThe Spiritual Realm: The Mode of Transportation\n\nThere are three realms that we choose to live in and to take our mode of being from: the physical realm, the mental realm, and the spiritual realm. The physical realm is obviously the purview of the body\u2014those operating from this realm are controlled by physical appetites such as food, alcohol, drugs, sex, etc.\n\nIn the mental realm we raise our consciousness slightly by using our reasoning ability, yet we are controlled by the mind.\n\nIn the spiritual realm we access the highest plane of reality, the realm from which we can control both the body and the mind.\n\nSuppose you lived in New York and you wanted to get to London. Obviously, the only way to do so is to fly.\n\nOperating from the physical realm is like having a bicycle to take that journey, while the mental realm can be compared to having a car. Although a car is definitely better than a bike, in either case you\u2019re unable to reach your destination.\n\nOperating in the spiritual realm is like gaining access to a jet: not only are you able to make the journey, but also your altitude, and thus your perspective, are dramatically improved. In the physical and mental realms you do have certain parameters of mobility, yet you\u2019re navigating in the wrong places.\n\nThe \u201cjet\u201d of the spiritual realm allows you to fly over the prohibitive ocean of the ego-self in all its manifestations.\n\nYou cannot reach the destination of happiness through Soul Purpose in the physical and mental realms. It is impossible. The only way to reach your desired destination is to get into and stay in the spiritual realm.\n\nBy doing so you transcend the limitations of the body and the mind and access infinite power, a power that few even know exists.\n\nSpiritual Disciplines: The Fuel\n\nWhat would happen if you tried to put automobile fuel into a jet engine? It wouldn\u2019t operate, of course. Having the spiritual realm \u201cjet\u201d is not enough; you must also have the proper fuel to make it fly. The vehicle of your soul simply cannot fly without the fuel of spiritual disciplines.\n\nWhile Soul Purpose is who you are, spiritual disciplines are what you do to become your best self. They are daily routines that must be diligently performed in order to reach the spiritual realm.\n\nAlthough there are many more than these, we will focus on five core disciplines from which all others flow: Awareness, Pattern Interrupt, Reality Statement, Instant Prayer, and Love Meditation.\n\nNotice that these five form the acronym A.P.R.I.L.\n\nSpiritual Roles: The Directions\n\nIn my research I have identified twelve core Soul Purpose roles. Although there are infinite manifestations of each, every individual has one of these roles as their primary Soul Purpose theme. The roles describe how individuals view the world and interact with others, with whom they like to associate, the suffering that they alleviate, and the way that they serve.\n\nLearning your role is similar to taking a personality or aptitude test, only with much greater depth.\n\nSuppose you are a resident of Chicago, a city with a population of nearly three million. All three million residents have a map and they all have the goal of getting to City Hall. Even though they have the same map and are going to the same place, would they not all use different directions and take a different route to get there, since they\u2019re all coming from different places?\n\nYour Soul Purpose role is similar; although you share the same destination and map as everyone else, your particular path will be unique.\n\nFour Stages of Living Your Soul Purpose: The Terrain\n\nThe four stages required to discover and bring your Soul Purpose to the world are 1) dissolving the ego, 2) living with an awakened spirit, 3) discovering and declaring your Soul Purpose value proposition, and 4) designing your business and Soul Purpose marketing plan.\n\nIt is in the four stages that the metaphorical rubber hits the road. This is the practical phase of the Soul Purpose process.\n\nUnderstand that in any journey the map is different than the terrain. A road map can show you how to get from Los Angeles to New York but will tell you very little about the mountains, rivers, and deserts you will cross, nor will it tell you the condition of the roads.\n\nThe map can show you how to live your Soul Purpose, the terrain you will travel is different than the map. In the four stages you will learn how to successfully navigate the actual terrain by translating ideals into practical action.\n\nSoul Purpose: The Compass\n\nAlthough we\u2019ve already discussed Soul Purpose at length, now you are able to understand this \u201ccompass\u201d in its proper context and from a holistic perspective. Throughout your life\u2019s journey you may stray by falling prey to the ego-self, yet Soul Purpose never wavers no matter what errant paths you take.\n\nBuried by fear though it may be, it is always in your heart.

You may think that you\u2019re supposed to do one thing, yet God has different plans for you.\u00a0 Some plans that appear to be taking you further away from your purpose in actuality get you closer to it in the long run.\n\nThe Ego: Roadblocks and Dead-Ends\n\nWhile lessons and detours are placed in our path by a loving God, roadblocks and dead-ends are self-imposed limitations from the ego-self. These include fear, pride, complacency, hedonism, and selfishness.\n\nDetours can be navigated fairly easily, especially with the right tools and understanding; roadblocks lead to an overwhelming feeling of being \u201cstuck.\u201d Detours are unavoidable and necessary for our progression; roadblocks are optional.\n\nMany people ask why so much suffering exists in the world if we have a loving God, without realizing that most of our suffering is self-imposed.\n\nFortunately, if you\u2019ve been stuck in the ego-self in the past, this is the helping hand that will pull you out of the rut and get you on your way. I myself was stuck in the ego-self for many years until powerful experiences and wise mentors set me straight.\n\nThis life is a journey that can be either joyous or frustrating, satisfying or disappointing, exciting or boring, full of love or full of suffering.

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

Anyhow, because of my experience with, with drawing and planning stage settings, well, I had accommodated to drawing and, and color and gotten fairly good at it. So it was very easy for me to shift into doing something in painting. Which I did. Which was environmental. I was fascinated by the landscape because basically there was nothing there but a few accents. And I could do something with that. Anyhow, that was Depression times, that was about '34, '35 I guess it was. Uh, I was so poor that I would go down to the Rio Grande River and, uh, seasonally I would try to fish and get fish for, for my lunch. But when I built my fire to cook my fish I found I could make charcoal sticks out of the cottonwood. It was great charcoal material. And then I salvaged paper from the, from the Alburquerque Tribune newspaper. I'd go to their trash heap and salvage sheets of newsprint. That was newspaper.\n\n\nED GARMAN: For printing. That had been unused. So I'd use charcoal and newsprint and was drawing with that for a long time. So I got more and more involved in painting because there was nothing else to do. There were no jobs around. And my education was interrupted. And that was about '35 or '36. And I'd been studying contemporary history, art history. At that time the artists that were hot in America were Tom Benton and Grant Wood and a Midwesterner named [John Stueart] Curry. And several others who were doing the American scene.\n\nDERRICK CARTWRIGHT: Yeah, let's talk about that. What was your feeling about those artists and what they were doing?\n\nED GARMAN: Well, I took a, I made a trip back to Kansas City in about '35 or '36. And Kansas City had a very, very fine museum. And they had Bentons and Currys and Woods, and along with all the other fine artists at the east coast. And I studied them and I marveled at their technique enormously. But emotionally I couldn't get a hold of, of what, what their consequences were. Where, where was it going and what did it do? Naturally, the critics of that time were drumming up the excitement for that nationalistic point of view in America. Which I didn't feel very strong about. And, uh, I'd been studying new Mexican painters. Particularly the mural painters, Diego Rivera, Orozco and Siqueiros and several of the others. And, uh, I thought well, I ought to go down there and see what they were really doing and how it affected the, the painting environment. So I went down there. I think it was about 1937, maybe the end of '36. I stayed there for six months. And I got into their milieu so to speak. And I found out that their mural painting was primarily a, a nationalistic, uh, advertising campaign for their own people. Just like ours in America. Our nationalistic point of view. Furthermore, the artists truly weren't interested. They did a good job, but it was primarily a work project for them that kept them going to do their individual work.\n\nDERRICK CARTWRIGHT: How did you discover that?\n\nED GARMAN: Well, because one, uh, I would visit the sites of the muralist and the muralists were never there. Now, there's plenty of work to do in making murals besides being up there with the pallet and the plaster.\n\n\nED GARMAN: But I never found Diego Rivera at work. I never found Orozco at work. Or I never found Siqueiros. They all had murals going at this time that I was there. There was an artist named [Alfredo Ramos] Martinez who later came to America.\n\n\nED GARMAN: And did mural work up here.\n\nDERRICK CARTWRIGHT: Right here in San Diego.\n\nED GARMAN: Yeah. I found something of his in there that he was working on. And I watched him work and I could see how, how the technique was so vital to the, to the results of the, of the murals. But anyhow, I got acquainted with the, the people who were doing the work. And I asked, 'Where are these men?' 'Well, they're back at their studio preparing what they call cartoons,' I think they were. And that's quite a job to make these huge cartoons because they're basically what the muralist uses to trace his drawings, transferring his little drawings to, to cartoons and on up to the, to the, the site. So that was a very interesting thing. And again I found out that the pursuit of the, of the nationalistic scene wasn't giving me anything. And wasn't really giving those artists anything. They were very good at it. They knew what they were doing. They knew what they were selling, but it was a thing that had a very strong period at the end of it. And as we know today, they're primarily tourist attractions. They're not working anymore in the light of the, the needs of their time. It was to drum up national interest and that's what it did. Anyhow, they were very beautiful. I went out over to Cuernavaca, which is about 40 miles west of Mexico City on the way to Acapulco. And there were some very beautiful Diego Rivera murals in Cuernavaca, which were simply just made beautifully using the revolutionary theme. But they were exquisitely done. And I recognized a great artist that was there, working there. And of course, eventually I met Orozco at his studio. A friend from one of the other muralist groups, there were Americans working down there.\n\n\nED GARMAN: Working for Diego Rivera getting mural experience. So that, through them I met Orozco and one of the persons, one of the people, a young woman from the States, who I don't remember anymore. But she took me out to Orozco's studio with his permission and we talked awhile in a very, very strange way because he was partially deaf and partially blind. And so it was a very strange conversation because I had, I talked very loudly to the translator and she talked very loud to him. But it was a nice meeting because I think he liked my questions. Anyhow, I finally got around to, to the future of, of, I asked him, I said, I knew, I knew he was doing work along the revolutionary line because it was very dramatic and it, and it sold. They were interested in selling. Diego was very commercial. Anyhow, I asked him about abstraction. And he said that he thought that that was the wave of the future. That it was the only, the only field, that abstraction was the only field that opened the door to every culture. Whether you were French or German or Indian or whatever, that, that, uh, setting aside your local interest, if you were investigating painting to see how far you could get with it, well abstraction was the way to go. So I consequently started tracing down the American, the Mexican abstractionist and found some very, very good ones.\n\nDERRICK CARTWRIGHT: Who are you thinking of?\n\nED GARMAN: Well, I'm not, that is my one failure on this tape is I, I just don't call to mind who they were.\n\nDERRICK CARTWRIGHT: But you were aware of these things?\n\nED GARMAN: They're very, I went to galleries where their work was exhibited and I saw the work. Carlos Merida was one.", "base_doc": " very special. And that was my standout, because I had achieved in the theater what, what Craig and Appia had done in their part. And it was a tremendous hit. And the translator was thrilled with it because I had done what he wanted done. But he had visualized it in a more literal way. And that still is a good memory.\n\nDERRICK CARTWRIGHT: Why did you, why did you stop being involved in theater production and scenery design and staging?\n\nED GARMAN: Well, of course, I, I left the theater, or left the university because of, of finances.

The lenders have fashioned various loans with all the \u201cbells and whistles\u201d to capture your custom. In essence, the most valuable loan feature has not really changed, that being the flexibility to place more payments off your loan.\n\nSince the last Reserve bank reduction of the Official cash rate, the financial institutions reduced their mortgage rates to less than the RBA 0.25%. Presently, we see and experience the lowest home loan rates in over 60 years.\n\nThis has enabled potential borrowers to purchase a property in a higher price range , thereby having to increase their potential home loan. However, recent data has shown that home loan borrowers entering into Mortgage Default is on the rise.\n\nThere are a number of ways that a potential borrower can avoid a Mortgage Default. Some being :-\n\n \u2022 Before purchasing\u00a0 an expensive property , keep a cool head and consider all fundamentals.\n \u2022 Ask yourself, If mortgage rates increased, could you meet the repayments?, OR if your financial and personal circumstances changed could you still meet the repayments.\n \u2022 Build in a buffer into your loan payments , example\u00a0 calculate repayments at 1% above the rate being charged. This will\u00a0 assist you\u00a0 to ensure you have accumulated\u00a0 repayments.\n \u2022 If it is a rental property, are you solely relying on rental income to pay the loan? You need to buffer a 1% additional loan payment, as most Investment loans are higher than owner occupied loans.\n \u2022 Consider a transaction account with an 100% Off Set, as this could save interest on the home loan\n \u2022 Consider setting up loan as a Re Draw facility, if Off Set is not available. This could assist with\u00a0 additional funds later on.\n \u2022 Avoid Interest only loans, as lenders will assess your loan repayments on the terms after the interest only period has ended.\n \u2022 Retain loan payments\u00a0 if interest rates reduce, and if they rise, the increase\u00a0 immediately.\n \u2022 Calculate your loan payments at 2% higher than the lenders standard variable rate, to ensure that you can afford loan payments in the event of an\u00a0 rate increase.\n\nWe are seeing that lenders are gradually increasing their Serviceability Or Stress Test Rate. As a general rule of thumb, the various lenders would add an additional 2% to 2.5% to their standard variable rate as a \u201cstress test\u201d or safety net. This is to ensure that any borrower would have the capacity to meet increased loan repayments, should the interest rates move upward in the future.\n\nIn addition, the lenders have a basic \u201cLiving Expense\u201d formula which is incorporated into their criteria. Take the following example of a husband and wife with 2 dependents. A lender would allow approx. $36,000 per annum to cover all the applicants living expenses (excluding any financial commitments). The more dependents, the higher the annual living expense allowance becomes.\n\nMany borrowers become disheartened when they discover that they cannot afford to borrow the amount they require. Therefore, it is vital that all potential borrowers review their net monthly income and prepare a detailed monthly budget for all expenses and allow for a loan repayment at \u201cbuffer\u201d repayment to ensure\u00a0 that they have the capacity to meet loan payments in case of an interest rate increase.\n\nFixed Rate versus Variable Rate\n\nWhilst there is more emphasis on the variable rates set by lenders and media, one must also consider the fixed interest rates.\n\nPresently lenders are offering excellent fixed interest rates that are not commonly promoted. Any potential borrower should seriously consider splitting their loan into part fixed and part variable so as to provide some form of \u201cinsurance/ safety net\u201d for any potential future interest rate increase.\n\nWhether you are buying an investment property or an owner occupied property it\u2019s important to carefully focus on the financing options. Obtain advice on your borrowing capacity, serviceability and loan options.\n\nLenders move to credit scoring approvals\u00a0\n\nOver the past few years the major banks have been modelling their home loans approvals using a credit scoring process.\u00a0 This would greatly improve turnaround times from application to full approvals.\n\nSome of the pitfalls a borrower may face under the Credit Scoring Models are :-\n\n \u2022 Adverse Veda CRAA report\n \u2022 Numerous enquiries for credit being recorded against one\u2019s name\n \u2022 Poor history of current loan repayments ( loan payments not being made on time)\n \u2022 Employment changes\u00a0 ( not\u00a0 consistent within\u00a0 applicants industry)\n \u2022 Ability to service borrowings( present and future)\n\nThe lenders, willing to approve loans, must ensure that the customer has the ability to service a loan without any potential hardships and they have a duty of responsible lending practices.\n\nSome other non-bank lenders do not credit score their applications and assess the transaction manually.

This could assist with\u00a0 additional funds later on.\n \u2022 Avoid Interest only loans, as lenders will assess your loan repayments on the terms after the interest only period has ended.\n \u2022 Retain loan payments\u00a0 if interest rates reduce, and if they rise, the increase\u00a0 immediately.\n \u2022 Calculate your loan payments at 2% higher than the lenders standard variable rate, to ensure that you can afford loan payments in the event of an\u00a0 rate increase.\n\nWe are seeing that lenders are gradually increasing their Serviceability Or Stress Test Rate. As a general rule of thumb, the various lenders would add an additional 2% to 2.5% to their standard variable rate as a \u201cstress test\u201d or safety net. This is to ensure that any borrower would have the capacity to meet increased loan repayments, should the interest rates move upward in the future.\n\nIn addition, the lenders have a basic \u201cLiving Expense\u201d formula which is incorporated into their criteria. Take the following example of a husband and wife with 2 dependents. A lender would allow approx. $36,000 per annum to cover all the applicants living expenses (excluding any financial commitments). The more dependents, the higher the annual living expense allowance becomes.\n\nMany borrowers become disheartened when they discover that they cannot afford to borrow the amount they require. Therefore, it is vital that all potential borrowers review their net monthly income and prepare a detailed monthly budget for all expenses and allow for a loan repayment at \u201cbuffer\u201d repayment to ensure\u00a0 that they have the capacity to meet loan payments in case of an interest rate increase.\n\nFixed Rate versus Variable Rate\n\nWhilst there is more emphasis on the variable rates set by lenders and media, one must also consider the fixed interest rates.\n\nPresently lenders are offering excellent fixed interest rates that are not commonly promoted. Any potential borrower should seriously consider splitting their loan into part fixed and part variable so as to provide some form of \u201cinsurance/ safety net\u201d for any potential future interest rate increase.\n\nWhether you are buying an investment property or an owner occupied property it\u2019s important to carefully focus on the financing options. Obtain advice on your borrowing capacity, serviceability and loan options.\n\nLenders move to credit scoring approvals\u00a0\n\nOver the past few years the major banks have been modelling their home loans approvals using a credit scoring process.\u00a0 This would greatly improve turnaround times from application to full approvals.\n\nSome of the pitfalls a borrower may face under the Credit Scoring Models are :-\n\n \u2022 Adverse Veda CRAA report\n \u2022 Numerous enquiries for credit being recorded against one\u2019s name\n \u2022 Poor history of current loan repayments ( loan payments not being made on time)\n \u2022 Employment changes\u00a0 ( not\u00a0 consistent within\u00a0 applicants industry)\n \u2022 Ability to service borrowings( present and future)\n\nThe lenders, willing to approve loans, must ensure that the customer has the ability to service a loan without any potential hardships and they have a duty of responsible lending practices.\n\nSome other non-bank lenders do not credit score their applications and assess the transaction manually. Whilst this may be cumbersome, it enables the finance broker to liaise with the lender directly to discuss any issues that have arisen with the application.\n\nTherefore, it is suggested that should first embark on a finance application you discuss with a reputable finance broker to ensure that the application is fully completed thereby addressing any issues.\n\n\nTags: , ,<|endoftext|>Sunday, November 18, 2007\n\nA Constitutional RIght to Fly\n\nLa Professora posted about her presentation on \"What is the threat to civil liberties in the War against Terrorism?\".

As he wanders through the acrid, remote terrain, he approaches a dusty village and heads for a run-down watering hole. Once he enters the darkness of the nearly deserted establishment, he reaches for a handful of ice and falls flat into a faint.\u00a0 \u00a0\n\nWhen Travis wakens, he is with the local doctor, Doctor Ulmer (Bernhard Wicki), who, because Travis does not speak, assumes him to be a mute or an amnesiac. Ulmer finds contact information on Travis and gets in touch with Travis\u2019 brother, Walt (Dean Stockwell), in Los Angeles. A shocked Walt explains to his wife, Anne (Aurore Clement), Travis, missing for more than four years, has turned up.\n\nMoving Travis from Texas to L.A. by car, Walt eventually gets him to speak, but he is not ready to explain why he left. As the brothers continue their strained roadtrip, Walt uncomfortably tells Travis he and Anne are raising Travis\u2019 now 7-year-old son, Hunter (Hunter Carson). Walt explains that Jane (Nastassja Kinski), devastated after Travis abandoned both her and their child, left Hunter with them so she could try to start a new life.\n\nLater, reaching Walt and Anne\u2019s home, Travis and Hunter reunite. While Hunter is timid toward the father he cannot remember, he is curious about Travis, and the two gradually form a bond. Travis eventually asks about Jane. Anne tells him she is somewhere in Houston because she makes monthly deposits there into an account for Hunter. Travis feels he needs to seek Jane out and try to fix the damage he has done. Father and son set out on a road trip to find Jane and, they hope, to pull their estranged family together.\n\nThe internationally acclaimed feature Paris, Texas was a collaboration between two celebrated artists, German film director Wim Wenders and American playwright Sam Shepard. Working with ideas inspired by Wenders\u2019 \u201croad movie trilogy,\u201d Alice in the Cities (1974), The Wrong Move (1975) and Kings of the Road (1976), and Shepard\u2019s short-story collection Motel Chronicles (1983), the two artists conceived a handful of characters and their quests for reconciliation and meaning. They intended to create a story that would unfold en route across the American Southwest and spent time driving through that terrain, writing and taking photographs along the way.\n\nWenders turned to his longtime cinematographer, Robby M\u00fcller, NSC, BVK, to bring an immediate, \u201creal-life\u201d quality to the narrative and make the most of the film\u2019s omnipresent but silent character, the road. M\u00fcller and Wenders developed an unusual strategy for the project, making no specific plans for each day\u2019s shooting. Both artists felt it was more important for the performances and settings to dictate where the camera would be placed. Often relying on available light, M\u00fcller would shoot the actors as naturally as possible. While this unusual \u201cno-plan\u201d practice often resulted in very long shooting hours, the end result is a unique visual landscape that remains one of the film\u2019s strongest qualities.\n\nWith all of its memorable exteriors and detailed interior lighting setups perfectly represented, The Criterion Collection recently introduced Paris, Texas in the Blu-ray format. The 1080p image transfer is excellent, giving M\u00fcller\u2019s cinematography the perfect showcase. Uniform sharpness, consistent balance of contrasts and a wide color spectrum highlight this truly impressive presentation. The audio, presented in DTS-HD Master 5.1, is good, but really only the film\u2019s great music score by Ry Cooder seems to take advantage of the rear surround channels. Other audio seems confined to the front channels.\n\nThis disc also offers a sidecar of exciting and detailed supplements. In addition to an audio commentary by Wenders, included are a 2001 video interview with the director and new video interviews with directors Claire Denis and Allison Anders, who served as assistant director and production assistant on the film, respectively. M\u00fcller and other crewmembers and actors appear in the documentary The Road to Paris, Texas, as does a short excerpt from French television featuring Wenders and Cooder. Deleted scenes, Super 8 film footage, two photo galleries and a booklet that includes a piece by critic Nick Roddick, assorted interviews and stills round out the supplements.\n\nCriterion has created a winning new presentation for Paris, Texas. The glowing images that convey the story\u2019s many journeys and passages are some of contemporary cinema\u2019s most memorable and often referenced.

That\u2019s quite commendable. So what should one say when the following post appears?\n\nDred Scott SHPG\n\nReally? Really?\n\nIt is one thing for someone seeking information to get something so confused that we understand why that person is requesting help. After all, the Dred Scott decision did nothing of the sort as described above. It opened the territories to slavery; it had nothing to do with the population of the North, preserving northern power in Congress (indeed, the implications pointed in precisely the other direction) or maintaining protective tariffs (I must admit I\u2019ve never heard that one before).

Really?\n\nIt is one thing for someone seeking information to get something so confused that we understand why that person is requesting help. After all, the Dred Scott decision did nothing of the sort as described above. It opened the territories to slavery; it had nothing to do with the population of the North, preserving northern power in Congress (indeed, the implications pointed in precisely the other direction) or maintaining protective tariffs (I must admit I\u2019ve never heard that one before).

I've never forgotten that, and I've gone on wondering whether eventually she got her own table.\"\n\nThe crew had been sworn into the Haganah when they left America, and the leadership in Palestine had also sent what Aronowitz - already rankling at attempts to exert authority over what he saw as his ship - calls \"a political commissar\", Yossi Harel, a senior Haganah member. Tensions erupted between the Americans and what were then called Palestinians (Jewish residents of Mandate Palestine). The Haganah radioed the ship, ordering it to change its name to the Exodus 1947, which many of the Americans hated. \"We wanted something with more zip,\" Livney says. \"Personally, I wanted it to be called the Eleanor Roosevelt.\"\n\nAs the ship neared the Palestine coast, it found itself hemmed in by British destroyers.

The crew had prepared plans to repel the British soldiers by placing nets over the deck, but they didn't have time to get them out when the surprise raid took place at midnight on July 18 and they resorted to throwing cans of kosher corned beef at the boarding party. There were three casualties: two passengers - one a 16-year-old boy, shot in the face, according to a witness - and one of the young crew, Bill Bernstein, who was clubbed to death with a rifle butt. He died in Aronowitz's bunk.\n\nThe battle with the British was not only played out on radio and in the newsreels. Representatives of the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (Unscop) had been sent to Haifa as observers. The brutal treatment of the Exodus's passengers had become a powerful propaganda tool in the Zionist campaign, but in Jaffa, 15-year-old Hasan Hammami, the son of a wealthy Arab businessman, watched and listened with foreboding: \"I remember seeing pictures of the Exodus as it was being towed into port in Haifa. Its pictures were in the papers. I remember clearly the news about this and other illegal immigrant ships. Most were regularly reported on the official radio station, which broadcast in Arabic and was located less than half a mile from our house.\n\n\"The mood was one of sorrow for the poor, weak, hungry Jews who had come from European concentration camps, and of the condition they'd been driven to,\" Hammami says. \"But it was mixed with fear of being overrun by European Jewish immigrants. There was bewilderment and anger - why were they being sent to Palestine, given all this aid to settle in a land that did not belong to the power that was admitting them and that they did not own?\"\n\nAll the passengers were forcibly disembarked at Haifa - the crew had hiding places on board and were able to slip away and evade arrest. The rest were loaded on to three British ships, imprisoned in cages and returned to Europe. On arrival in France, they refused to disembark and after three weeks at Port-de-Bouc, amid worldwide publicity, British foreign secretary Ernest Bevin took what seems now the inconceivable step of returning them to Hamburg, where they were re-incarcerated in refugee camps. It was a PR catastrophe. \"Back to the Reich,\" one US newspaper put it. \"Return to the death land,\" said another. \"If there is an Almighty,\" Aronowitz says, \"he sent us Ernest Bevin in order to create a Jewish state.\"\n\nThe story of the voyage of the Exodus ended there. The ship remained in Haifa harbour until 1952, when it caught fire and burned to the waterline; the hulk was towed to Shemen beach. \"It was the greatest tragedy of my life,\" Aronowitz says. \"I thought we had lost this battle, but I wrote to John Grauer [a Methodist minister and the only non-Jewish member of the crew], 'If we have one more defeat like this, Britain's empire will sink into oblivion.' \"\n\nIn 1948, after the British Mandate formally came to an end, during what Israelis call the War of Independence and what Palestinians call the Nakba (the Catastrophe), the Hammamis were driven out of Jaffa. Another refugee ship set sail, this time in the opposite direction. Hasan says, \"We left in a Mediterranean saiq, a traditional cargo boat, [with] more than 3,000 people like sardines, escaping for their lives. We ran out of water in the first few hours, I saw a woman abort three feet away, and we were intercepted by British navy ships several times and they let us go.\" After days at sea, they arrived in Lebanon, where the now penniless family struggled to make a living and give their children an education.

A common mechanism of action: light\n\nLasers and flash lamps generally work on the same principle: the emission of light and the absorption of this light by a target. For hair removal, the target is the pigment contained in the hair (melanin). When the target is exposed to the light emitted, it rises in temperature to reach approximately 70\u00b0C; at this temperature, a certain number of biological structures will be altered or destroyed.\n\nThis destruction is limited to the elements associated with the hair, eventually preventing regrowth. This is known as \"selective photo-thermolysis\". Finally, the following should be noted:\n\n- Light consists of one or severl wavelengths.\n- A given wavelength is absorbed by a single target colour (a single pigment colour).\n- Hair colour may be very different from one individual to another (ranging from very light blond to very dark brown).\n- Each hair colour will therefore specifically absorb a single wavelength of light emitted.\n\n2. Comparison of emission spectra\n\nThis is one of the fundamental differences between laser technology and IPL technology (Link to ).\nA. Laser technology\nA laser emits \"monochromatic\" light, (single wavelength).\nThe value of this wavelength varies according to the laser type (Diode, YAG, Alexandrite, AColorant, etc.)\nB. Flash lamp technology\nA flash lamp emits \"polychromatic\" light, (a multitude of wavelengths), also known as a \"range of wavelengths\". This \"range of wavelengths\" is more or less extended/limited according to the filter(s) positioned between the light source (lamp) and the skin.\n\nIn comparing the different emission spectra of laser hair removal devices and flash lamps systems, a major difference between these two technologies becomes immediately apparent: the laser has a single wavelength, whereas the flash lamp has a multitude of wavelengths.\n\n3. Specific nature of the target: hair\n\nIn terms of hair removal, the only important structure in the hair is its pigment: the melanin.\n\nThere are just as many types of pigments (as many colours) as there are different individuals.\n\nEach type of pigment will require a specific type of light (a specific wavelength) to be heated up. When the correct light (wavelength) is captured by the pigment, the melanin starts to heat up.\n\nAs the hair itself is saturated with this pigment, it will become heated in its entirety and its temperature will reach approximately 70\u00b0C. The hair will then immediately behave like a very hot object inserted into the skin, such as a needle. The heat is therefore transmitted to everything in contact with it, and in particular the structures that nourish the hair. When these nourishing structures are in turn heated, they are altered more or less permanently depending on the amount of heat accumulated.\n\nThis more or less permanent alteration will determine the more or less permanent nature of the hair removal. That\u2019s another reason why we call this depilation technique permanent hair reduction and not permanent hair removal.\n\n4. Correspondence of the emission spectra/target:\n\nA \u2013 Laser hair removal\n\nTarget colour (1) will be heated up by laser 1\nTarget colour (2) will be heated up by laser 2\n\nTarget colour (3) will be heated up by laser 3\nIn correlation:\nLaser (1) will heat up no other target than target 1\nLaser (2) will heat up no other target than target 2\nLaser (3) will heat up no other target than target 3\n\n\n\n\n\nB \u2013 IPL hair removal\n\nHere we see that all of the targets (hair colours) are covered by all of the wavelengths emitted.\n\nIn other words, each target, therefore each hair colour, therefore each individual, finds its corresponding wavelength in the spectrum emitted.\n\nIt becomes obvious from the above that:\n- Each type of laser will be highly effective on a single type of hair colour, but ineffective on all other colours.\n- A flash lamp (IPL), however, will be effective on all of the hair colours encountered Flash lamps therefore seem unquestionably to be perfectly suited to the hair removal application.\n\nConversely, using a laser to carry out hair removal is truly illogical from a scientific and technical point of view.\n\n5. Hair removal laser in practicee\n\nDespite this observation, the following is still true: a large number of laser hair removal devices are still used for hair removal purposes, most of the time producing satisfactory results for many individuals.\n\nThe explanation:\n\nThe first laser machines marketed for hair removal were recognised as being highly effective on one type of hair, and not many, or even totally ineffective on all other hair types.\n\nThis is perfectly in line with our previous demonstration.\n\nOver the years, laser manufacturers have changed a technical parameter: the power of the light emitted. The power of this emitted light has been increased significantly. As a direct result, the number of target colours \"captured\" by the more powerful emitted light has increased.\n\nIn the end, hair removal lasers have become much more effective over a much wider range of hair colours. In return, however, a new problem has arisen: the increased power has resulted in systematic and unavoidable secondary effects of burns to the skin.\n\nThe manufacturers therefore had to incorporate skin cooling at the moment when the light is emitted by the laser.\n\nDepending on the models and manufacturers, these cooling systems vary, ranging from chilled air blowing devices to the application of a cooled lens or cryogenic gel.\n\nTo summarise, the effectiveness of lasers in terms of permanent hair removal has been obtained at the cost of a significant increase in their power, resulting in the need to protect the skin by implementing bulky and expensive techniques.\n\n6. Hair removal IPL in practice:\n\nAs opposed to lasers, IPL hair removers are perfectly suitable as hair removal devices.\n\nAs the correct wavelength corresponding to the colour of the hair treated is always found in the spectrum of light emitted, the power of the source does not need to be increased to obtain clinical effectiveness.\n\nTherefore, there may be a ratio of 1 to 10 or even 1 to 20 between the power of IPL hair removal systems and lasers for hair removal. Lower power means improved safety. Unfortunately, this situation which may appear to be ideal in many cases is not: numerous IPL devices have appeared on the market over the last few years and almost 70% of them have degraded features which have therefore adversely affected their effectiveness and safety.\n\nThere are 4 parameters that effectively allow a IPL hair remover to be defined:\n- The quality and value of the filtering of the light emitted.\n- The \"pulse width\u201d or flash time.\n- The \"fluence\" or amount of energy delivered during the flash.\n- The \"form of the flash\u201d or the regularity of the light energy emitted throughout the duration of the flash.\n\nThe clinical effectiveness in terms of long-term hair removal and the risk of undesirable effects (pain) or secondary effects (burns) will depend on the quality of these 4 parameters.\n\n\nThe very large diversity of hair colours encountered in the practice of hair removal makes laser technology implicitly unsuitable in terms of effectiveness and safety.\n\nConversely, the more recent flash lamp technology turns out to be perfectly suitable for hair removal, combining greater effectiveness and much higher safety.\n\nThis observation must however be weighed up: the quality of marketed equipment often varies significantly as far as laser and IPL hair removal devices are concerned: most hair removal laser machines are of a good price and good quality. On the other hand, at least 70% of the flash lamps currently offered for hair removal are of poor, or even very poor quality.\n\nThe poor quality of many professional IPL machines unfortunately discredits this technology, even though flash lamps are technically more suitable for hair removal treatments.\n\nCheck out our E-One videos\n\nRead our Blog<|endoftext|>Co-owner Craig Nielsen\nCo-owner Craig Nielsen demonstrates the vanilla-making process at Nielsen-Massey\u2019s Wau", "base_doc": " kids, is don't bring mercury on planes.

As a direct result, the number of target colours \"captured\" by the more powerful emitted light has increased.\n\nIn the end, hair removal lasers have become much more effective over a much wider range of hair colours. In return, however, a new problem has arisen: the increased power has resulted in systematic and unavoidable secondary effects of burns to the skin.\n\nThe manufacturers therefore had to incorporate skin cooling at the moment when the light is emitted by the laser.\n\nDepending on the models and manufacturers, these cooling systems vary, ranging from chilled air blowing devices to the application of a cooled lens or cryogenic gel.\n\nTo summarise, the effectiveness of lasers in terms of permanent hair removal has been obtained at the cost of a significant increase in their power, resulting in the need to protect the skin by implementing bulky and expensive techniques.\n\n6. Hair removal IPL in practice:\n\nAs opposed to lasers, IPL hair removers are perfectly suitable as hair removal devices.\n\nAs the correct wavelength corresponding to the colour of the hair treated is always found in the spectrum of light emitted, the power of the source does not need to be increased to obtain clinical effectiveness.\n\nTherefore, there may be a ratio of 1 to 10 or even 1 to 20 between the power of IPL hair removal systems and lasers for hair removal. Lower power means improved safety. Unfortunately, this situation which may appear to be ideal in many cases is not: numerous IPL devices have appeared on the market over the last few years and almost 70% of them have degraded features which have therefore adversely affected their effectiveness and safety.\n\nThere are 4 parameters that effectively allow a IPL hair remover to be defined:\n- The quality and value of the filtering of the light emitted.\n- The \"pulse width\u201d or flash time.\n- The \"fluence\" or amount of energy delivered during the flash.\n- The \"form of the flash\u201d or the regularity of the light energy emitted throughout the duration of the flash.\n\nThe clinical effectiveness in terms of long-term hair removal and the risk of undesirable effects (pain) or secondary effects (burns) will depend on the quality of these 4 parameters.\n\n\nThe very large diversity of hair colours encountered in the practice of hair removal makes laser technology implicitly unsuitable in terms of effectiveness and safety.\n\nConversely, the more recent flash lamp technology turns out to be perfectly suitable for hair removal, combining greater effectiveness and much higher safety.\n\nThis observation must however be weighed up: the quality of marketed equipment often varies significantly as far as laser and IPL hair removal devices are concerned: most hair removal laser machines are of a good price and good quality. On the other hand, at least 70% of the flash lamps currently offered for hair removal are of poor, or even very poor quality.\n\nThe poor quality of many professional IPL machines unfortunately discredits this technology, even though flash lamps are technically more suitable for hair removal treatments.\n\nCheck out our E-One videos\n\nRead our Blog<|endoftext|>Co-owner Craig Nielsen\nCo-owner Craig Nielsen demonstrates the vanilla-making process at Nielsen-Massey\u2019s Waukegan factory Photos: Jeff Marini\n\n\"I call vanilla nature\u2019s MSG,\u201d says Beth Nielsen, the third-generation co-owner of Nielsen-Massey, a company in Waukegan that has supplied America\u2019s pastry chefs and home cooks with high-quality vanilla extract for more than a century. \u201cIt\u2019s a natural flavor enhancer.\u201d Indeed, just as salt (or MSG, for that matter) brings out desirable flavors in savory dishes, vanilla extract\u2014made from the seedpods of a tropical orchid\u2014augments sweetness in baked goods, giving a softer, more rounded flavor rather than a straight-up sugary one.\n\nTo make the extract, workers at Nielsen-Massey use a cold extraction process, not unlike the way extra virgin olive oils are produced.

For instance, part of the plot of The Case of the Avenging Ace involves Paul and Captain Terry trying to track down a man, who they don't realize is wearing a disguise. This disguise includes a beard so fake that it would have looked more realistic if he had used a marker to drawn on a beard. It would have looked more realistic if he had used a marker to write \"FAKE BEARD\" on his face.

The statewide registry would be similar to a sex offender registry but its data would only be available to law enforcement. Law abiding gun owners, however, are up in arms at the prospect.\n\nAccording to the Hartford Courant this would be the first such system on a statewide level. New York City, Baltimore, and DC all have similar city systems, though nothing of the sort has been implemented at a state level.\n\nThough supporters claim no law-abiding citizen would be adversely affected by the proposed registry, one has to wonder what\u2019s next\u2014a DWI registry or perhaps an assault registry? At what point do we allow someone who was convicted of a crime to carry on with their life?\n\nThe difference between this proposed registry and the national crime database is that it would focus only on Connecticut and would contain residential information, and my guess, possible employment and other contact information as well.\n\nSenate Majority Leader Martin Looney, who proposed the registry states that it would give gun-offenders a heads-up that they\u2019re being watched. Apparently this would serve as a deterrent.\n\nAlso on the table is a piece of legislation that would require gun owners to register all firearms. Speaking out against this proposal, one NRA member says \u201cThis is not gun control, this is state control of the people.\u201d Under current law no such registration is needed for rifles and shotguns, only handguns.\n\nThe laws regarding weapons ownership and usage are complex. While gun rights advocates state many of these tiptoe on infringing upon their right to bear arms, the large majority of these laws were passed with public safety in mind. Understanding all of them is certainly no easy task.\n\nThe possibility of a gun registry brings to mind a vision of Big Brother, with the system always keeping a close eye on the people it oversees. While some people who have gun convictions will reoffend, most will not. And it seems to be overkill to suggest all of these people need to be tracked in some manner.\n\nIf you are facing gun charges or if you are facing criminal charges and you have a gun conviction on your record, you could be looking at some pretty serious penalties. Contact my offices today for a free consultation on your case.\n<|endoftext|>BASC responds to announcement of review of general licences in England\n\nBASC will offer its expertise to Natural England to ensure the outcome of a recently-announced review of the general licences for \u201cpest\u201d bird species in England is positive for conservation and wildlife management.\n\nGeneral licences allow the necessary control of specific species in order to prevent damage to crops or for other reasons such as conservation, disease prevention, and to protect public health and safety.\n\nThey are issued annually by Natural England and separately by the relevant authorities in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It is not necessary to apply for or to have a copy of the licences, but people who control these birds must abide by the relevant licence conditions.

However, when he gets there, he's shot. Johnny is the obvious suspect, but he has an alibi, Perry Mason! So why isn't the case dismissed right away? Because at the time, Perry Mason was in the hospital for knee surgery and was under medication, so his testimony isn't reliable enough for the court. It does give Perry Mason extra motivation to defend Johnny in court.\n\nThe Case of the All-Star Assassin\n\nThatcher Horton is the owner of a Colorado sports area, as well as a basketball team and a hockey team. He also has a couple of lawsuits headed his way, one from Cathy Grant, a tennis pro, and the other from Bobby Spencer, a hockey player. Ken Malansky is helping Bobby with the negotiations, but negotiations end when Bobby loses his temper. That night Thatcher Horton has a creepy and threatening conversation with his wife and shortly after that is killed. Bobby is found with the murder weapon on him, but the evidence suggests this was a professional hit. Professional hits are particularly hard to crack, but Perry Mason is on the case.\n\nSo overall how are these six TV movies? They are mostly good with the usual strengths the Perry Mason TV series had. The mysteries are engaging and the acting is great. There are plenty of good guest appearances, including Jerry Orbach. The way Perry Mason cracks the cases makes sense and there are less of the guy just cracking while watching the case unfold in the courtroom. The movies aren't perfect. For instance, part of the plot of The Case of the Avenging Ace involves Paul and Captain Terry trying to track down a man, who they don't realize is wearing a disguise. This disguise includes a beard so fake that it would have looked more realistic if he had used a marker to drawn on a beard. It would have looked more realistic if he had used a marker to write \"FAKE BEARD\" on his face. Yet no one realizes it's a fake beard when they see him.\n\nOverall, I would say they are on par with the average episode of the Perry Mason TV series, so if you liked the show, you will likely enjoy these movies as well.\n\nThe Extras\n\nThere are no extras on the three-disc set.\n\nThe Verdict\n\nIf you are a fan of the Perry Mason TV show and picked up the episodes as they came out, then the Movie Collection is also worth picking up However, I would watch before buying Volume 2. The three discs from Volume One are coming out separately, and they are cheaper than buying the box set. Perhaps it is best to wait to see if these will be cheaper.\n\n- Submitted by:\n\nFiled under: Video Review, Raymond Burr, Erin Gray, Robert Guillaume, David Hasselhoff, William Katt, Brian Keith, Yaphet Kotto, Darrell Larson, Jim Metzler, William R.

The statewide registry would be similar to a sex offender registry but its data would only be available to law enforcement. Law abiding gun owners, however, are up in arms at the prospect.\n\nAccording to the Hartford Courant this would be the first such system on a statewide level. New York City, Baltimore, and DC all have similar city systems, though nothing of the sort has been implemented at a state level.\n\nThough supporters claim no law-abiding citizen would be adversely affected by the proposed registry, one has to wonder what\u2019s next\u2014a DWI registry or perhaps an assault registry? At what point do we allow someone who was convicted of a crime to carry on with their life?\n\nThe difference between this proposed registry and the national crime database is that it would focus only on Connecticut and would contain residential information, and my guess, possible employment and other contact information as well.\n\nSenate Majority Leader Martin Looney, who proposed the registry states that it would give gun-offenders a heads-up that they\u2019re being watched. Apparently this would serve as a deterrent.\n\nAlso on the table is a piece of legislation that would require gun owners to register all firearms. Speaking out against this proposal, one NRA member says \u201cThis is not gun control, this is state control of the people.\u201d Under current law no such registration is needed for rifles and shotguns, only handguns.\n\nThe laws regarding weapons ownership and usage are complex. While gun rights advocates state many of these tiptoe on infringing upon their right to bear arms, the large majority of these laws were passed with public safety in mind. Understanding all of them is certainly no easy task.\n\nThe possibility of a gun registry brings to mind a vision of Big Brother, with the system always keeping a close eye on the people it oversees. While some people who have gun convictions will reoffend, most will not. And it seems to be overkill to suggest all of these people need to be tracked in some manner.\n\nIf you are facing gun charges or if you are facing criminal charges and you have a gun conviction on your record, you could be looking at some pretty serious penalties. Contact my offices today for a free consultation on your case.\n<|endoftext|>BASC responds to announcement of review of general licences in England\n\nBASC will offer its expertise to Natural England to ensure the outcome of a recently-announced review of the general licences for \u201cpest\u201d bird species in England is positive for conservation and wildlife management.\n\nGeneral licences allow the necessary control of specific species in order to prevent damage to crops or for other reasons such as conservation, disease prevention, and to protect public health and safety.\n\nThey are issued annually by Natural England and separately by the relevant authorities in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It is not necessary to apply for or to have a copy of the licences, but people who control these birds must abide by the relevant licence conditions.

At 90 I was receiving lifting, at 110 parts were nearly impossible to remove, but at 100 the parts adhered as expected.\n\nOne thing to note is that before each print, I do a quick wipe down with 91% IPA (and a cotton ball) to eliminate any possible finger residue that could have gotten on the PEI. This seems to help promote adhesion, and as far, there are no visible ill effects to the surface.\n\nquillford's Notes\n\nUpdated: 02/24/15\n\nI'm using 0.03\" (~0.76mm) PEI taped to glass (borosilicate) with adhesive transfer tape. I've only tested with PLA so far. I'll be doing some ABS soon. I haven't needed to use a heated bed for PLA. 70% Isopropyl alcohol cleaning works for about two to three prints. I find keeping a cotton pad with the isopropyl alcohol on it next to the printer is convenient for cleaning after removing the last print.\n\nI've now done a few prints with ABS. I've had no issues with prints lifting with the bed at 70C. I haven't needed a brim with it at 70C either.\n\nJRDM's (jeffdm) Notes\n\nUpdated: 02/09/2015\n\nI've managed to build ABS, a couple custom ABS blends with other plastics, PLA, Form Futura flex PLA, PETG and HIPS on PEI. I did the same as quillford above, on borosilicate and plain window glass.\n\nMake sure the build plate is trammed well.\n\nI tend to use 100\u02daC bed temp for ABS and 60\u02daC for PLA.\n\nI've seen people recommend using a fine sandpaper to recover adhesion if the above wipes don't help. I haven't needed to do this yet, and I've made hundreds of parts on a single piece of PEI so far. I really like getting away from tapes, sprays, glues and ABS slurry. I don't need brims or contact discs to increase contact patch area. You do want to avoid scratching or the PEI, or else the scratches and damage will be visible on the parts.\n\nI still find it helpful to have an enclosure, I currently use a cardboard box heated to 36-40\u02daC air environment.

When he arrived in Karachi over three years ago, Adil instantly recognised the dearth of good-quality, well-designed, local comfort wear. Eager to fill the gap, he set to work researching and designing a line that, he says, would be comparable to Gap or Banana Republic, in terms of quality and style. The line, Ego, has recently taken off, and its soaring success has inspired him to both expand, and to begin work on other projects. Adil talks to Blue Chip about Ego, his future projects and the textile industry in Pakistan.\n\nWhen did you decide to launch Ego?\n\nAdil Moosajee (AM): \u201cAbout three and a half years ago. I had just returned from the US. I\u2019ve been in clothing for many years now, and wanted to get into retail. I actually came for a consulting job, but I decided to venture into something different. Given my family\u2019s background of 160 years in clothing, I had decided clothing but just hadn\u2019t figured out what. So I went to some social events, met up with friends and in general conversation I\u2019d tell them I\u2019m trying to get into the clothing business. They\u2019d tell me we need good clothes here, and I\u2019d think, can\u2019t we come up with a line like Gap? So I took it up as a challenge, to create a brand equivalent to GAP in Karachi, and that\u2019s where Ego started.\u201d\n\nWhen did you start this?\n\nAM: \u201cThe process started about three and a half years ago. We started with a small room where I hired one master, one designer, one karigar and myself, and we\u2019d sit down and try to come up with designs. It took us about six months to come up with a line that made sense, and about ten months from the point where we actually started working, we started our store. We probably took the longest to come up with our product, because the easiest thing to say is, \u2018Oh, Khaadi is working really well, let\u2019s create something like that.\u2019 We wanted a completely different look. So, we were looking at design ideas, colour ideas, fabric ideas, coming up with psychological profiles to see what sort of clothes would/wouldn\u2019t work etc., so we took a really long route. Since I was teaching at the Fashion Institute and TIP, I took kids from there for fitting runs. It was a very long journey.\u201d\nEGO retail clothing business\n\nHas the success surpassed your expectations?\n\nAM: \u201cThat\u2019s a tricky question. We started off thinking we\u2019ll take off fast. It was a very slow process trying to penetrate the market. When we came up with this line of casual clothing, people would come into our store saying \u201cI love this, but I can\u2019t wear it.\u201d The reason was that a lot of our designs were kind of bold.

The second thing was that a lot of our things were designed so that you can wear it without a dupatta, so it had collars, higher necks, not see-through. It was comfort wear, but people weren\u2019t ready to shed their dupatta yet. We thought that a younger generation would pick us up, but it was the other way around. It was actually a 30-something clientele that picked us up.\n\nWhat I learned was that the risk-takers are actually more independent, mature working women who are now in control of their lives, who have decided who they have wanted to be. Then, the younger clientele followed. At that time, the people who would take the risk to wear us was a very small niche.\n\nSo, for about eight months, I only had a clientele of about twenty-five people. Then a year later, the word-of-mouth really picked up, and a lot more people started coming to us.

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

Successions of notes in modern notation are seldom left without any indication of articulation, but if they are, the performer will normally presume that a legato style of playing is called for....<|endoftext|>Sur ce site\n\nle jeudi 28 juin \u00e0 11:00\n\nSarah Schaack (Reed College, Portland)\n\nSalle de formation du PRABI\n\npar Vincent Daubin - 28 juin 2012\n\nSpontaneous Mutation, Horizontal Transfer, and Sex\u00a0: Understanding the\nEvolution of the Mobilome\n\nTransposable elements (TEs) are now known to occupy a huge proportion\nof most multicellular eukaryotic genomes, yet the factors influencing\ntheir proliferation are only beginning to be investigated.

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

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

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

His arm and hand were so beautiful, so delicately, delightfully feminine in both form and movement. He longed for others to appreciate that beauty too.\n\nHe began to withdraw his right arm from beneath the covers, to delight in its touch of his left, noting curiously as he did so, that he couldn't feel the sensation of of his arm hair sliding against the cotton sheets.

Tamargo was found lying on the floor of the bathroom of the rooming house where he lives. His landlady, Carol, found him there. Yet, Tamargo said that he was OK and that he would get up and go to his room.\nJoseph Tamargo\nJoseph Tamargo\n\nThe next day the landlady came back and found Tamargo still in the same place. He had not been able to move. Yet again Tamargo insisted he was OK, that he did not need to go to the hospital and that she should not call the ambulance. She called the ambulance anyway and it is a good thing too, because by the time that they got Tamargo to the hospital he was just about dead.\n\nIt is a miracle of modern medicine that Tamargo is still alive. He has been saying for the past month that he has the gout. This turned out to be a wrong diagnosis. He had blood clots in his legs. In the hospital, they gave him anti-cloting drugs, amputated his left leg, and gave him medications to slow down his heart rate, which was beating at the rate of over 200. He is now in the Emergency Cardiac ECU, but they believe that they will be able to transfer to a regular hospital ward on Monday.\n\nI only found out yesterday that he was in the hospital and nobody else other than his landlady seems to know. Tamargo has no family. His parents and uncles died years ago. He has two long time girlfriends, Diane Dawley and Mindy Sperling. However, Diane Dawley moved to Costa Rica some years ago to live with her father there.\n\nThe reason I only found out yesterday that Tamargo was in the hospital is that I have been so busy with my election campaign that I did not have time to speak to him or to anybody else. My wife noticed that he had not called in several weeks, so I decided to try to call him. Eventually, I reached his landlady, who told me what had happened.\n\nI spent an hour and a half yesterday in his hospital room. He knew who I was and told the doctor and the nurse that he has known me for 40 years, which is exactly correct since we met in 1964. The doctor said that he is expected to live. I would have never imagined so, however.\n\nJoe Tamargo is famous as a player of two games, chess and go. He wrote a book, \"Really Speak Spanish\", for persons who have studied Spanish but find that they still cannot speak it. The book is just about ready for publication, but has not been published yet.\n\nJoe Tamargo was an early chess rival of Bobby Fischer, as they were about the same age. Fischer still to this day speaks of him often, frequently referring to the strength and power of Tamargo. Tamargo has a fierce reputation over the chessboard and even the strongest grandmasters would not take lightly the prospect of meeting Tamargo in a serious chess match.\n\nTamargo is two years older than Bobby Fischer and they played two tournament games against each other when both were teenagers. The first was a draw and has never been published. Tamargo says that he no longer has the score sheet. The second was a win for Fischer. Played at the Manhattan Chess Club in 1956 at just about the time that Fischer won his \"Game of the Century\", Tamargo played the risky Morra Gambit and got a small advantage. The game developed into a dead drawn rook-and-pawn endgame. Tamargo offered a draw.

He was never the best however, as there was always one American who could beat him. Tamargo may however have been the best go player in the world who never visited the Far East. All of the other top players have spent time in Japan or Korea.\n\nBorn in 1941, by 1964 Tamargo was without", "base_doc": "Y flavored and it is not difficult to make, at all. Hands-on prep is less than an hour, although you must make the sponge for the dough several hours in advance but it's so worth it!\n\nI don't make it very often, but when I do I usually follow Julia Child's recipe. Most recently I tried Ina Garten/The Barefoot Contessa's version. It was excellent.\n\nHere is one recipe, enough dough for one large and a few mini-brioches, or 20 mini-brioches (1 3/4 ounce of dough, each.) This time I divided the dough, making one large, conventional Brioche, and several mini-sized ones. Though the recipe looks long, it's not complicated at all.\n\n\n1/2 cup warm water\nScant Tablespoon dry yeast (or 1 package dried yeast)\n3 tablespoons sugar\n6 extra-large eggs, at room temperature\n4 1/2 cups unbleached flour\n2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt\n1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter (12 Tablespoons), at room temperature\n\nFor egg wash finish: 1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon milk\n\nThis version is made using a large stand mixer. For the amount of mixing brioche dough requires, I feel it is a rather daunting task to attempt by hand. But you may be much stronger than me!\n\nFirst, butter a very large bowl and set aside. (The dough will later rise in this bowl.)\n\nNext warm the bowl of the stand mixer with very warm water. Dry the bowl, and in it combine the water, yeast, and sugar. Mix with your hands and allow to stand for about 5 minutes (until the yeast and sugar dissolve.)\nAttach the paddle attachment to mixer and add the eggs to the bowl, beat on medium speed for one minute, scraping bowl once or twice. Reduce speed to low and add two cups of the flour and the salt. Mix for 5 minutes; then add 2 1/4 cups more flour, mix for an additional 5 minutes. The dough will be very loose and floppy. Scrape the dough into the prepared (buttered) bowl, cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.\nThe next day, remove the dough bowl from the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Meanwhile, grease 1 large brioche tin and 6 or so mini tins, OR 20 mini brioche tins. Set aside.\n\nPlace the dough in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook, proceed to add the softened butter in chunks, and mix for 2 minutes, add in additional flour as needed to make a ball.\n\nWhen a ball has formed around the dough hook, turn the dough onto a lightly floured board and divide the dough, one large piece and 5 or 6 smaller pieces, OR if you are making mini-brioches into 20 (1 3/4-ounce) balls and place them in the buttered tins. If you are making the large brioche with the traditional \"top-notch\" decoration, roll a smaller round ball for the decoration. With your finger push a deep indentation into the center of the large brioche and press the smaller ball into the indentation, pressing down carefully but firmly to allow it to adhere.\n\nCover the tins with a damp towel and set aside to rise at room temperature until doubled in volume, about 2 hours, or a bit longer, depending upon room temperature.\n\nPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F. When the dough has risen, gently brush the top of all with the egg wash and bake for 20 to 40 minutes (depending upon the size of the brioche pans.) The minis are usually done in 20 minutes.\nTo test; the tops should spring back and the breads should sound a bit hollow when tapped. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool.\n\nThere are many ways to enjoy brioche; simply toasted, or sandwiches, or a base for delightful entrees. But one of my very favorites is Pain Perdu (Lost Bread), which I'll highlight in my next entry.\n\nIf you don't have brioche available to you, I recommend that you make some yourself. It is very satisfying, and one of the easier breads to make as it requires very little hand work, providing you have access to a stand mixer. If you are fortunate enough to live near a good bakery, don't bother!\n\nComing up soon: Pain Perdu\n\n1 comment:\n\n\n\n\nA Sampling of my food . . .\n\n\n\u00a0Subscribe in a reader...or\n\nEnter your email address:\n\nDelivered by FeedBurner<|endoftext|>Joe Tamargo is Seriously Ill\n\nJoe Tamargo, 65, is seriously ill in Flushing Hospital in Queens, New York. Tamargo was found lying on the floor of the bathroom of the rooming house where he lives. His landlady, Carol, found him there. Yet, Tamargo said that he was OK and that he would get up and go to his room.\nJoseph Tamargo\nJoseph Tamargo\n\nThe next day the landlady came back and found Tamargo still in the same place. He had not been able to move. Yet again Tamargo insisted he was OK, that he did not need to go to the hospital and that she should not call the ambulance. She called the ambulance anyway and it is a good thing too, because by the time that they got Tamargo to the hospital he was just about dead.\n\nIt is a miracle of modern medicine that Tamargo is still alive. He has been saying for the past month that he has the gout. This turned out to be a wrong diagnosis. He had blood clots in his legs. In the hospital, they gave him anti-cloting drugs, amputated his left leg, and gave him medications to slow down his heart rate, which was beating at the rate of over 200. He is now in the Emergency Cardiac ECU, but they believe that they will be able to transfer to a regular hospital ward on Monday.\n\nI only found out yesterday that he was in the hospital and nobody else other than his landlady seems to know. Tamargo has no family. His parents and uncles died years ago. He has two long time girlfriends, Diane Dawley and Mindy Sperling. However, Diane Dawley moved to Costa Rica some years ago to live with her father there.\n\nThe reason I only found out yesterday that Tamargo was in the hospital is that I have been so busy with my election campaign that I did not have time to speak to him or to anybody else. My wife noticed that he had not called in several weeks, so I decided to try to call him. Eventually, I reached his landlady, who told me what had happened.\n\nI spent an hour and a half yesterday in his hospital room. He knew who I was and told the doctor and the nurse that he has known me for 40 years, which is exactly correct since we met in 1964. The doctor said that he is expected to live. I would have never imagined so, however.\n\nJoe Tamargo is famous as a player of two games, chess and go. He wrote a book, \"Really Speak Spanish\", for persons who have studied Spanish but find that they still cannot speak it. The book is just about ready for publication, but has not been published yet.\n\nJoe Tamargo was an early chess rival of Bobby Fischer, as they were about the same age. Fischer still to this day speaks of him often, frequently referring to the strength and power of Tamargo. Tamargo has a fierce reputation over the chessboard and even the strongest grandmasters would not take lightly the prospect of meeting Tamargo in a serious chess match.\n\nTamargo is two years older than Bobby Fischer and they played two tournament games against each other when both were teenagers. The first was a draw and has never been published. Tamargo says that he no longer has the score sheet. The second was a win for Fischer. Played at the Manhattan Chess Club in 1956 at just about the time that Fischer won his \"Game of the Century\", Tamargo played the risky Morra Gambit and got a small advantage. The game developed into a dead drawn rook-and-pawn endgame. Tamargo offered a draw. Fischer, aged 13, screeched back \"Are you kidding?\" Tamargo was so upset that he made a horrific blunder on the next move, the kind of blunder even the strongest grandmasters occasionally make when the mind plays a trick and they visualize the board upside down or backwards.\n\nThis game is included in every anthology of Fischer's games, but Tamargo complains that his name is always spelled wrong as Tomargo and that the score of the game is wrong too, as the last moves shown are not what was actually played. Tamargo has never bothered to correct the record, however.\n\nTamargo was at one time the second or third strongest native born American player at the game of go. He was never the best however, as there was always one American who could beat him. Tamargo may however have been the best go player in the world who never visited the Far East. All of the other top players have spent time in Japan or Korea.\n\nBorn in 1941, by 1964 Tamargo was without doubt the strongest combined chess and go player in America, and possibly in the world. Another player who might have made this claim was Edward Lasker. However, Tamargo was several stones stronger than Lasker at go (they played many games against each other) and by that time with Lasker advanced in years Tamargo", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 175052, "pt_loc": 15124895, "pt_shuffle_idx": 82199243, "doc_index_f": 128856536, "doc_index_l": 128856537, "offset_f": 48, "offset_l": 1048, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 163, "pt_injection_len": 230, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [1000, 1049]} -{"pt_doc": " prospective clients without\u2026\n\nContinue Reading\npeople connected in a drawing\n\nRestoring a Sense of Community\n\nThis post is not going to be a traditional post.

In fact, had it not been for the English and Northern people together, there would not have been a great many slaves in the South.\n\nThe course of Mr. Lincoln was also as inconsistent about this matter of slavery as it was about Fort Sumter, for in the very beginning of his inaugural address, March 4, 1861, he declared: \u2018I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.\u2019 And further on in the same inaugural he declared himself in favor of a constitutional amendment which, so far as the United States was concerned, would have made the negroes of this country slaves forever. His exact words were: \u2018I understand that a proposed amendment to the Constitution (which amendment, however, I have not seen), has passed Congress to the effect that the Federal government shall never interfere with the domestic institutions of the States, including that of persons held to service.

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

When the magnetic field fades, we'll be seeing auroras in the sky and the earth will be receiving much more radiation. I dont know how plant life will cope with the increase in direct radiation in daytime. Should this come to pass before humans colonize on an other planet, it may be difficult to expand into space for some time and we'll need to colonize earth since it will no longer be as fertile as it once was (but lacking colonies and the derived technology will make it more difficult, hence fewer people will make it). Another aspect of an earth without a magnetic field is the erosion so to speak of the atmosphere from the solar wind. Earth might slowly loose some of its atmoshere over a long period of time. There are traces that Mars once had seas and rivers(perhaps thicker atmosphere as well?) and that it once had a magnetic field similar to earth, but it lost its magnetic field when the core cooled and later on appears to have lost some(or most?) of its water. Has anyone heard of the nuclear fission theory, according to which planets had uranium in their core generating energy through nuclear fission, but that once the uranium is depleted the core cools down much faster, smaller planets cooling faster than larger ones?

I would waken up in the early hours of the morning with irregular heartbeats.\n\nI see young women in their early to mid twenties with bloated fat thighs and bloated gut trying to fit into smaller size jeans [just like wot I did #_+] .. and on one occasion in a local store I heard some girls say: I wish I could have a body like that AT HER AGE. I am a very shy person .. like I try to be invisible in public areas .. I do not like people to compare themselves to me.\n\nWorst of all is that modern day humans are programmed to deteriorate and accept physical deterioration = this is normal at YOUR AGE .. learn to accept it and learn to live with it! Apparently you are all pre-programmed to rapidly deteriorate around 45 to 50 years old. It is all downhill from there!\n\nOr is it all downhill ?? Are we really programmed to deteriorate physically ??\n\nWell !! What does your GUT say ??\n\nAt this point in time I have been personally working on my gut for the last 8 years. No diets .. no exercise .. no programs .. no medications .. only me and my gut. That is all I have in this life: MY OWN BODY. Reading this you may think: EIGHT YEARS ??? Well .. actually .. no not eight years! But a lifetime of dedication to health.

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

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

I enjoy the winding process. I've also hand wound some laceweight yarn when I was afraid it would break if I wound off a swift/ball-winder.\n\nParrot's picture\n\nNone of the answer choices fit my situation. Most of the time now, the skein is wound into a center pull ball at my LYS. However, such as this morning, I handwound balls from the skeins. they are easier to manage and carry, and the yarn doesn't get tangled up. Somewhere along the line recently, I also read where the yarn won't twist as it comes off the ball, and I find that it true. The center pull balls are ok, but I just prefer the yarn unwinding from the outside of the ball.\n\n\nAsbj\u00f6rn's picture\n\nThe only time I really hand wind any yarn is when I have a hank or some other \"put-up\" that doesn't take well to working right from the skein. Also, I will make a hand wound ball if I've frogged a considerable amount of a project because I can't stand working with the kinky-twisty yarn that results. Some day I may get a ball winder and swift but as for now I use my knees as a swift and Elizabeth Zimmermann's suggestion for hand-winding your own center-pull ball (which I love).\n\n\nkiwiknitter's picture\n\nI wind all my knitting wools with a ball winder. I will rewind them when the ball gets sloppy as the yarn is used up. I used to do it by hand but have never regretted the money spent on the ball winder. I much prefer centre-pull balls of wool.\n\nKnit like the wind!\n\n\nNone of the answers apply to me either.\n\nI have been known to hand-wind balls, as I can never get the balls, hanks or skeins to pull properly otherwise. However, I generally use a machine winder before I even start on the project, and store each individual ball for the project in a small bag or ziplock.\n\ncrmartin's picture\n\nI wind my yarn with a center pull yarn winder and then put the ball into a tubular bandage that keeps the ball from getting sloppy as it gets smaller.\n\n\n\nTallguy's picture\n\nThe proper way to wind balls is using an swift (umbrella or other) and a ball winder. Then to use the yarn, you really should use lazy kate so that the ball rotates as you pull off the yarn.\n\nYou can do it any other way, but take note that you will be adding or removing twist from the yarn by doing so. For some yarns, that will make a huge difference in the finish of the yarn -- and your knitting.\n\nkiwiknitter's picture\n\nHere's a new term to me: \"lazy kate\". What is it?\n\nKnit like the wind!\n\n\nIt is used for holding spinning wheel bobbins for plying.\n\nI've always wanted to know how to fix that. I'll have to find them then.\n\nAs a scientist, I'm never wrong because if I'm wrong, I instantly change my mind and I'm right again. If you don't let people change, you don't let them grow.

Hate hunting for the end of the yarn.\n\nthairapist's picture\n\nI always hand wind my yarn. I do it in such a way that it pulls from the center and is loose and won't stretch the fiber. However i would never wind anything until I am ready to knit it. I store all my yarn in the skeins as it comes. Otherwise the yarn stretches and your garment will shrink when you wash it and that is a bitch!\n\nmadhatter7zero's picture\n\nI have always hand wound my balls *EG* haha.... I do this with every skein of yarn I buy... but not until I am ready to knit or crochet with it. If I am not ready to use the yarn then it gets stored in a big plastic storage container of which I have quite a few. Most of the time it is to make sure there are no knots or \"tie-in's\" in the yarn which totally gets on my nerves and usually makes me really mad if I find more than one.... but also if I'm using a variegated yarn I just love to see the color changes coming out of the skein as I'm winding it.<|endoftext|>What To Do When Windows Movie Maker 2012 Stops Responding During Saving A Movie\n\n\nIf you have Windows movie maker, you're probably visiting this blog post because you having problems with being able to save your movie.

Somewhere along the line recently, I also read where the yarn won't twist as it comes off the ball, and I find that it true. The center pull balls are ok, but I just prefer the yarn unwinding from the outside of the ball.\n\n\nAsbj\u00f6rn's picture\n\nThe only time I really hand wind any yarn is when I have a hank or some other \"put-up\" that doesn't take well to working right from the skein. Also, I will make a hand wound ball if I've frogged a considerable amount of a project because I can't stand working with the kinky-twisty yarn that results. Some day I may get a ball winder and swift but as for now I use my knees as a swift and Elizabeth Zimmermann's suggestion for hand-winding your own center-pull ball (which I love).\n\n\nkiwiknitter's picture\n\nI wind all my knitting wools with a ball winder. I will rewind them when the ball gets sloppy as the yarn is used up. I used to do it by hand but have never regretted the money spent on the ball winder. I much prefer centre-pull balls of wool.\n\nKnit like the wind!\n\n\nNone of the answers apply to me either.\n\nI have been known to hand-wind balls, as I can never get the balls, hanks or skeins to pull properly otherwise. However, I generally use a machine winder before I even start on the project, and store each individual ball for the project in a small bag or ziplock.\n\ncrmartin's picture\n\nI wind my yarn with a center pull yarn winder and then put the ball into a tubular bandage that keeps the ball from getting sloppy as it gets smaller.\n\n\n\nTallguy's picture\n\nThe proper way to wind balls is using an swift (umbrella or other) and a ball winder. Then to use the yarn, you really should use lazy kate so that the ball rotates as you pull off the yarn.\n\nYou can do it any other way, but take note that you will be adding or removing twist from the yarn by doing so. For some yarns, that will make a huge difference in the finish of the yarn -- and your knitting.\n\nkiwiknitter's picture\n\nHere's a new term to me: \"lazy kate\". What is it?\n\nKnit like the wind!\n\n\nIt is used for holding spinning wheel bobbins for plying.\n\nI've always wanted to know how to fix that. I'll have to find them then.\n\nAs a scientist, I'm never wrong because if I'm wrong, I instantly change my mind and I'm right again. If you don't let people change, you don't let them grow. It's not what one said that counts, it's what one says now.\nKnitting and Crocheting since 200\n\n\njeantownsend's picture\n\nI always wind mine with the ball winder because i like center pull balls. Hate hunting for the end of the yarn.\n\nthairapist's picture\n\nI always hand wind my yarn. I do it in such a way that it pulls from the center and is loose and won't stretch the fiber. However i would never wind anything until I am ready to knit it. I store all my yarn in the skeins as it comes. Otherwise the yarn stretches and your garment will shrink when you wash it and that is a bitch!\n\nmadhatter7zero's picture\n\nI have always hand wound my balls *EG* haha.... I do this with every skein of yarn I buy... but not until I am ready to knit or crochet with it. If I am not ready to use the yarn then it gets stored in a big plastic storage container of which I have quite a few. Most of the time it is to make sure there are no knots or \"tie-in's\" in the yarn which totally gets on my nerves and usually makes me really mad if I find more than one.... but also if I'm using a variegated yarn I just love to see the color changes coming out of the skein as I'm winding it.<|endoftext|>What To Do When Windows Movie Maker 2012 Stops Responding During Saving A Movie\n\n\nIf you have Windows movie maker, you're probably visiting this blog post because you having problems with being able to save your movie.

His original goal was to reach Pole in time for New Years Day, but his trip was delayed by unexpectedly deep snow as well as rough sastrugi.\n\nThe motorcycle, seen above, was a modification based on the Yamaha liquid-cooled DR200, with the engine area heavily insulated.\n\nShinji had previously reached the North Pole in April 1987 on an air-cooled Yamaha (perhaps a modification based on the TW 200 and/or TY250), so he is the only person to reach both Poles by motorcycle. His other exploits included altitude records for motorcycle climbs on Everest (to 19,701 feet in 1986) as well as Mount Kilimanjaro and Mt. Fuji. He was the first Japanese finisher in the Dakar Rally motorcycle race in 1982, and although he was severely injured in that event in 2004, he has continued to participate in cycling, motorcycle and other extreme distance events.\n\nHis North Pole trip set out from Ward Hunt Island in what is now Nunavut, Canada, and he was accompanied by a support team of three Japanese and 2 Inuit on two snowmobiles. While the straight-line distance was 470 miles, the actual trip covered 1,250 miles over 44 days, due to shifting ice conditions.\n\nOn his South Pole trip he was accompanied by a snowmobile (photo below) so obviously it wasn't a solo adventure. I've been unable to determine the size of the team. They obtained fuel from prepositioned caches along the way.

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

Which is exactly the benefit of being able to create a sequel, as you already have a foundation to build off of and are able to create a much more detailed and engrossing experience without having to spend part of your budget to reproduce it.\n\nThis leads me to the other major factor: Franchise are generally a safer bet than launching a new IP, as it is easy to understand your install base as well as get an idea as to what to improve the next time around (plus you already have fans). This is the simple concept that is the driving force for why Madden, Call of Duty and other titles are seeing more releases each year, as people are willing to buy them, which means guaranteed revenue.\n\nA problem with this concept though, is that for an industry to grow, we need to be able to not only bring in new gamers, but also keep things fresh for those already invested. To do this, however, we simply cannot rely on new IPs as a great deal of the money invested in building a new brand needs to come from existing franchises. So, even if you don\u2019t like seeing the same games each year, just with new hats, realize that the only reason we do get to see some AAA developers take risks on new games, is that people like hats.\n\nSeb: I think the sequel vs new IP debate shows us exactly why games journalists, and hardcore gamers", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 188140, "pt_loc": 33583250, "pt_shuffle_idx": 212572010, "doc_index_f": 333223720, "doc_index_l": 333223722, "offset_f": 752, "offset_l": 763, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 242, "pt_injection_len": 273, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [551, 734, 764]} -{"pt_doc": "ends!\"\n\nOnce or twice, however, the hemp-beater made a wry face, drew his\neyebrows together, and turned with a disappointed air toward the\nobservant matrons.

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

I thought Charlie Hayes would be the guy, but he fizzled. Since then it\u2019s been a patchwork job with no permanence.

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

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

Some of these birth defects are life threatening and very horrible.\n\nOther side effects of Zoloft include Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn, also known as PPHN.

The argument being that every child born should be wanted, and others who believe that every child conceived should be born (Sass vii). This has been a controversial topic for years. Many people want to be able to decide the destiny of others. Everyone in the United States is covered under the United States constitution, and under the 14th Amendment women have been given the choice of abortion. In 1973, Harry A. Blackmun wrote the majority opinion that it's a women's right to have an abortion. Roe v. Wade legalized abortion. Even though these people have been given the right, the case is not closed. Pro-life activists carry a strong argument, and continue to push their beliefs. Theyfeel so strongly about these beliefs that violence has broken out in some known instances. Pro-choice activists, on the other hand, also carry very strong points. They believe that the child inside them is their property and it's life doesn't be until birth. In 1973, the United States Supreme Court decided that as long as the baby lived in the womb, he or she would be the property of", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 191412, "pt_loc": 48388028, "pt_shuffle_idx": 104971772, "doc_index_f": 164528889, "doc_index_l": 164528891, "offset_f": 322, "offset_l": 263, "pt_injection_pos": 2, "pt_window_offset": 132, "pt_injection_len": 246, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [1654, 131, 264]} -{"pt_doc": "wildly.

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

These are very popular as gifts, but please, if buying one think about the recipient! It's all very well having a pretty pink glittery bath, but someone has to clean all that glitter afterwards, and unclog the drains from the dried rose petals!

Lush is a great place to pick up a little 'treat' for your wife, and get in her good books for only a couple of pounds.

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

It is part of the broad criticism of public education from the right, which has traditionally demanded vouchers for education in the clash of ideas around education. This clash is between those who believe that public education is not only a fundamental right but a vital public service, akin to the public provision of police, fire protection, parks, and public libraries, and those who believe that the private sector is always superior to the public sector\n\nPearson says that the thriving home-schooling movement in Australia is:\n\nborn of a warranted mistrust of the ideological baggage of the state system and, increasingly, of the Catholic parochial and independent systems.

It is part of the broad criticism of public education from the right, which has traditionally demanded vouchers for education in the clash of ideas around education.

The USPTO rejected FDI\u2019s application because it deemed that the trademark disparaged Muslims and linked them to terrorism.\n\n\nAs a result, AFLC appealed the rejection of the SIOA mark to the Trademark Trial & Appeal Board (TTAB), filing a detailed and lengthy brief opposing the USPTO\u2019s ruling. \u00a0AFLC\u2019s brief demonstrated that the term \u201cIslamisation\u201d is not broadly defined as a conversion of an individual; or even a whole society to the religion of Islam; or to the state of being more culturally Islamic. Rather, AFLC argued, \u201cIslamisation\u201d is the process of implementing sharia into a society in order to convert that society to a sharia-compliant Islamic state.\n\nAt oral argument before the TTAB in Arlington, Virginia, Senior Counsel David Yerushalmi argued that the only probative evidence in the record for the actual meaning of \u201cIslamisation\u201d was that presented by his clients and which showed beyond any doubt that Muslims and non-Muslims alike used and understood \u201cIslamisation\u201d to be the political movement to implement Islamic law or sharia as the law of the land.\n\n\n\nCASE UPDATE (March 4, 2014):", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 194684, "pt_loc": 42271685, "pt_shuffle_idx": 180396054, "doc_index_f": 282792351, "doc_index_l": 282792353, "offset_f": 1175, "offset_l": 357, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 273, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [193, 1498, 358]} -{"pt_doc": " the only ones inspired by nature.

The granddaddy of biomimicry, the invention of Velcro was the result of a walk in the woods. George De Mestral was walking his dog in 1948 when inspiration struck. De Mestral noticed his dog, along with his clothing, was covered with cockleburs that were quite pesky to remove. The burrs were covered in tiny hooks, which were a perfect complement to the loops found in clothing or fur.\n\nLouder Than a Bullet\n\nFirst Generation Japanese Bullet Train at the National Railway Museum (Flickr)\n\nJapanese engineers solved their need for speed with the design of a new bullet train, but were facing another challenge. As trains were getting faster, reaching speeds exceeding 186 mph, they were getting so loud it was disturbing passengers, nearby residents and the wildlife. Living up to their name, the faster bullet trains generated a loud boom upon exiting a tunnel.\n\nThe solution came in the shape of the kingfisher\u2019s elegant beak. The kingfisher catches fish by diving beak-first without making a splash. By mimicking the kingfisher\u2019s beak, the engineers made the bullet train more aerodynamic. The new bullet trains were quieter and more energy efficient.\n\nThe Cities of the Future\n\nClimate change, increased population density, finite resources and the need for sustainable energy: Those needs are driving architectural innovation today and will be even more pressing in 2050 and beyond. Architects are looking to biomimicry to develop the buildings of the future.\n\nIn unassuming mounds, termites live in luxury. These efficient builders use a series of holes and chimneys for a natural central air conditioning system. The outer holes are heated by the sun during the day, which pushes the cooler interior air downward through the chimneys to supply oxygen to the queen and her subjects. Carbon dioxide travels up and the cycle repeats each day. The Eastgate Centre in Zimbabwe uses these same principles to stay cool and reduce energy costs.\n\nTermite-inspired buildings, skyscrapers made of bones and seashells and renewable energy from wind turbines shaped by the fins of humpback whales could be commonplace in the cities of the future.\n\nGet a Grip\n\nNASA is looking to the gecko to create an adhesive that can stand up to the harsh conditions of space.

Doctors could use technology adapted from mantis shrimp to better detect tumors.

Farming, food processing and object detection could also benefit from the hyperspectral vision of mantis shrimp.\n\nSoaring in the Sky\n\nFalcons are among nature\u2019s most efficient predators, so it makes sense that airplanes may take inspiration from these avian hunters. The peregrine falcon has sleek angles and an ability to contour its wings close to its body to become more aerodynamic and reduce any resistance. As a result, the peregrine falcon can reach speeds of over 200 mph as it dives for its prey. While the U.S. Air Force\u2019s B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber had a classified development, it wouldn\u2019t be too surprising if prime contractor Northrop Grumman\u2019s designers and engineers were inspired by falcons or other birds of prey.\n\nThe pressure of natural selection has produced a plethora of biological solutions to the various challenges of survival.

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

Up until now we have been talking about this very abstractly, very theoretically, just the way Shakyamuni does in the second chapter when he is speaking with Shariputra. Shariputra, of course, has the reputation for being the heady academic, the abstract scholastic disciple of the Buddha. In fact he is the one who is blamed, or perhaps I should say credited, with the Abhidharma. So let's get away from that level and move into the parables which follow the more scholarly discourses of the second chapter.\n\n The first one which the 6th Patriarch talks about is the Parable of the Burning House. There are seven parables in the Lotus Sutra, but I am only going to give you a sketchy outline of the first two for now. In the third chapter of the Lotus Sutra is the Parable of the Burning House, the favorite of the 6th Patriarch and the other Zen Masters. There is a wonderful description in there, especially in the verse section, of how horrible this house is. There are insects and rats, monsters and ogres, and all kinds of other creatures. In the midst of it are several children playing. For some strange reason I imagine them riding Big Wheels. Do you all remember Big Wheels? They are all just racing through the house on Big Wheels. They don't seem to mind the fact that the house is about to fall down.\n\n I live, as a matter of fact, on", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 197956, "pt_loc": 44466780, "pt_shuffle_idx": 147681864, "doc_index_f": 231486612, "doc_index_l": 231486612, "offset_f": 4144, "offset_l": 6192, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 234, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": "da.\n\nSt Ida of Killeedy was known as \u201cthe foster mother of the saints of Erin\u201d, and her name is said to mean \u201cthirst for holiness\u201d. She was also known as \u201cthe Brigid of Munster\u201d. It was said that Ida embodied the six virtues of womanhood \u2013 wisdom, purity, beauty, musical ability, gentle speech and needle craft. Her feast day is the 15th of January and she was also known as a prophetess and spiritual director. Genealogies of the saints state that Ida\u2019s mother Necht was a daughter of Dallbronach, making Ida a cousin of Brigid.\n\nIt is well known that many of the Irish saints are really ancient Irish gods in disguise, adopted by the early christian church in Ireland in order to ease the conversion of the pagan population. There is no record of a Pagan Ida Goddess in Ireland, instead we are presented with her life story including dates of birth and death, in much the same way as we are with St Brigid. But we know that St Brigid has many of the attributes and associations of the earlier Goddess Brigid. They are largely the same character. At this point I would like to remind readers that in previous articles we have shown that the local tribe the Brigantes and their patron goddess Briganti are evident in our local landscape.\n\nOne very interesting area of investigation is the similarities and links between the ancient Irish language and stories, and that of the Indian Rig Veda of the ancient Verdic peoples. There are many websites and articles that document some of the many fascinating links, but one that I would like to point to now is the Verdic Goddess Ida. This Hindustani goddess of speech, the earth, and the source of abundant food and nourishment was seen as the primary cause of the origins, continuance and dissolution of all beings. Cows and milk are sacred to Ida, whereas in Ireland these are sacred to Brigid. In the Rig Veda she is associated with and often mentioned along side Bharati and Sarasvati, the goddess of knowledge, fertility, and flowing rivers. Bharati is a feminine adjective meaning \u201chigh, great, lofty\u201d and seems to be a title applied several times to the goddess of the dawn U\u1e63as. As you may know, the names Briganti, Brigantia, Brigit come from a cognate proto indo-european word *bhrg\u2019hnti from the root word berg\u2019h meaning \u201chigh, lofty, elevated\u201d.\n\nTo surmise for a moment then, we have an Irish St Brigid who is associated with St Ida. Brigid is based on an earlier Indo-European goddess Briganti who is also present in Verdic culture as Bharati. The Verdic goddess U\u1e63as/Bharati is also associated with the Verdic goddess Ida. Further, Verdic Ida, U\u1e63as/Bharati and Irish Brigid are all associated with cows, milk and motherhood. Briganti is clearly present in our landscape, and we also have a river named Idle for which we have no clear entomology. Could it be there is a forgotten Brythonic Goddess named Ida associated with the river Idle?\n\nSo what about the Maun? Well from this perspective the Maun is nothing more than a local name for a short section of the Idle, known to the Romans as Aqua Mam. Mam meaning \u201cmother, breast or hill\u201d in reference to Hamilton Hill where the source of the Maun is. If Ida is a goddess of the earth, of the land, and Hamilton Hill her breast then the Maun, Aqua Mam is her milk, the waters of the mother.\n\nThere is another possibly related goddess too, from Greek. The goddess Idaia, meaning \u201cshe of mount Ida\u201d, Ida meaning \u201cwooded mountain\u201d. There are actually two sacred mountains named Ida, both sacred to mother goddesses. The first in Crete is where Rhea, mother of the first generation of Olympian gods put the infant Zeus to nurse with Amaltheia. The second mountain was in Anatolia, modern day Turkey, and was mentioned in the Iliad of Homer as sacred to Cyble mother goddess of the Anatolians and sometimes known as Mater Idaea or \u201cIdaean Mother\u201d, mother of the Idaean people.\n\nThere is of course no way to be sure about any of this. Is there a lost local Celtic Ida, local to this area associated with the river Idle? It is all just conjecture really, but I am certainly beginning to feel that we of Ashfield and the surrounding area are Ideans. We are Ideans in so much as we are the people of the Goddess Ida of the River Idle.\n\n4 thoughts on \u201cIda Goddess of the river Idle?\n\n 1. I would have thought the name originates from a Celtic goddess most rivers others do. Can\u2019t help but be a little irritated by how its been used. I can remember when it used to be channelled down to the dam from the allotments, there was absolutely no need to alter it. Which i consider a mistake, children love to play in water.\n I\u2019ve always thought the Maun was the Idle, can\u2019t see why it ever needed another name. Wish Sutton made something of it, if it was only to spruce up the area behind the bank.\n Thanks for the article.\n\n 2. Interested in your speculation here that the river Idle as it is known today may have been originally associated with a Briganti godess \u201cIda\u201d.\n I live in the small market town of Bawtry about 250 metres from the banks of the Idle on its current course northward to the sea. Opposite my home there is a row of cottages built in the early part of the 20th century. These cottages when built would have had a clear view of the Idle and the rail viaduct that resulted in its course being diverted during the mid 19th century. What makes this row of cottages interesting and aligned to your article on the origin of the river\u2019s name is that midway along the terrace there is an original stone plague declaring the row as \u201cIDA\u2019S VIEW\u201d. I am currently embarking on some research in the hope of discovering why the cottages were dedicated to Ida when when built. I would be interested in your take on this? Maybe you were already aware and have some further knowledge to share?\n\n I look forward to a response.\n\n 1. How very interesting. I was not aware of this, and I am afraid I have nothing to add. I would be curious to hear what else you learn though. Thank you for sharing.\n\n 3. Tantalising as it was that we might have something tangible to link the speculation that \u201cIda\u201d was the source of the river Idles name, it would seem that our clue in the Bawtry cottages is grounded in something less mystical. At the turn of the twentieth century the land on which the cottages where built was a field running between the subsequent cottages and a large town house, the owners of which also owned the field. The owner of the town house was called Ida and she sold the field for development around 1909-1910 when the row of cottages were built. The view east of the cottages, as I explained earlier would have been of the viaduct and the river, the view west however, was of an open field between the cottages and the town house. The space between being dubbed \u201cIda\u2019s View\u201d. In the 50 years following the building of the cottages other homes filled this space, eradicating the \u201cview\u201d. There does remain a number of gaps for me to fill to completely nail down this explanation, but all the pointers would suggest that it is correct. A little disappointing in respect giving your theory some tangible roots I guess. However, an interesting and spooky coincidence.\n\nLeave a Reply\n<|endoftext|>== Camp David summit ==\nAt Camp David on 18 August 2023, Biden announced the pact, marking the first time that international leaders visited the retreat since 2015, when then-president Barack Obama held a Gulf Cooperation Council summit there.

The goddess Idaia, meaning \u201cshe of mount Ida\u201d, Ida meaning \u201cwooded mountain\u201d. There are actually two sacred mountains named Ida, both sacred to mother goddesses. The first in Crete is where Rhea, mother of the first generation of Olympian gods put the infant Zeus to nurse with Amaltheia. The second mountain was in Anatolia, modern day Turkey, and was mentioned in the Iliad of Homer as sacred to Cyble mother goddess of the Anatolians and sometimes known as Mater Idaea or \u201cIdaean Mother\u201d, mother of the Idaean people.\n\nThere is of course no way to be sure about any of this. Is there a lost local Celtic Ida, local to this area associated with the river Idle? It is all just conjecture really, but I am certainly beginning to feel that we of Ashfield and the surrounding area are Ideans. We are Ideans in so much as we are the people of the Goddess Ida of the River Idle.\n\n4 thoughts on \u201cIda Goddess of the river Idle?\n\n 1. I would have thought the name originates from a Celtic goddess most rivers others do. Can\u2019t help but be a little irritated by how its been used. I can remember when it used to be channelled down to the dam from the allotments, there was absolutely no need to alter it. Which i consider a mistake, children love to play in water.\n I\u2019ve always thought the Maun was the Idle, can\u2019t see why it ever needed another name. Wish Sutton made something of it, if it was only to spruce up the area behind the bank.\n Thanks for the article.\n\n 2. Interested in your speculation here that the river Idle as it is known today may have been originally associated with a Briganti godess \u201cIda\u201d.\n I live in the small market town of Bawtry about 250 metres from the banks of the Idle on its current course northward to the sea. Opposite my home there is a row of cottages built in the early part of the 20th century. These cottages when built would have had a clear view of the Idle and the rail viaduct that resulted in its course being diverted during the mid 19th century. What makes this row of cottages interesting and aligned to your article on the origin of the river\u2019s name is that midway along the terrace there is an original stone plague declaring the row as \u201cIDA\u2019S VIEW\u201d. I am currently embarking on some research in the hope of discovering why the cottages were dedicated to Ida when when built. I would be interested in your take on this? Maybe you were already aware and have some further knowledge to share?\n\n I look forward to a response.\n\n 1. How very interesting. I was not aware of this, and I am afraid I have nothing to add. I would be curious to hear what else you learn though. Thank you for sharing.\n\n 3. Tantalising as it was that we might have something tangible to link the speculation that \u201cIda\u201d was the source of the river Idles name, it would seem that our clue in the Bawtry cottages is grounded in something less mystical. At the turn of the twentieth century the land on which the cottages where built was a field running between the subsequent cottages and a large town house, the owners of which also owned the field. The owner of the town house was called Ida and she sold the field for development around 1909-1910 when the row of cottages were built. The view east of the cottages, as I explained earlier would have been of the viaduct and the river, the view west however, was of an open field between the cottages and the town house. The space between being dubbed \u201cIda\u2019s View\u201d. In the 50 years following the building of the cottages other homes filled this space, eradicating the \u201cview\u201d. There does remain a number of gaps for me to fill to completely nail down this explanation, but all the pointers would suggest that it is correct. A little disappointing in respect giving your theory some tangible roots I guess. However, an interesting and spooky coincidence.\n\nLeave a Reply\n<|endoftext|>Course Profile\n\nInformation Systems in Organiz\u00a0\u00a0( 3.00 credits )\n\nCourse Number:525\nCRN Number:70311\nTerm:Spring 2013\nStarting date:\u00a0 03/18/2013\u00a0\nEnding date:\u00a0 06/07/2013\u00a0\nMeeting Day:\u00a0 Wednesday\u00a0\nMeeting Time:\u00a0 05:00 pm-07:55 pm\u00a0\nRegularly assigned classroom:\u00a0 JAH M25\u00a0\nPrerequisites:\u00a0 None Specified\u00a0\nInstructor:\u00a0 Bross\u00a0\n\nCourse Description:\u00a0\n\nThis course is designed to provide a detailed understanding of information systems and their use within the modern organization.

Many patients have told me they wish there was a big switch in their head they could simply turn off at night. Unfortunately, such a simple switch hasn\u2019t been invented yet.\n\nOne option is sleeping pills but this is not a healthy long term solution for many reasons. There are simple mental distraction techniques you can try that can work in the short-term. The old counting sheep method is an example of distraction but it\u2019s pretty dated at this point. It may have had more relevance back when more of us were shepherds!\n\nBeyond short-term distraction techniques there is another level of mental manipulation that can help you manage your overactive mind at night in a more sustainable way. This method is part of what I call \u201cgraduate level\u201d sleep therapy. This approach can help no matter what kinds of thoughts might be keeping you up at night.\n\nHere\u2019s how it goes: As you lay in bed with your eyes closed, imagine a raging river flowing swiftly past you. It\u2019s like the kind you might see on the TV news of a flash flood. The current is swift and there is debris and various objects in the water being tossed about as the river flows downstream.\n\nIn this metaphor, the river is your stream of consciousness. The stream is continuous, always flowing (even when you\u2019re asleep!). Sometimes the flow is slow and peaceful but at times it can rage and feel out of control. The objects being tossed around in the cascading water are the contents of your consciousness, your thoughts. These are the things or concerns that are floating around in your mind at night keeping you awake. The river may even seem circular in that the same things drift away temporarily only to return again.\n\nNow, imagine yourself sitting on the bank of the river watching all of this flow past you and tell yourself \u201cWow, I am so glad I\u2019m not in that\u201d! Instead of being tossed helplessly along with the current you can choose to swim to the riverbank, climb out of the water, and just observe. You, as a conscious being, are not one and the same as the things you think or worry about. Thoughts are things that happen to\u00a0you. They are not you. You know this because in the moments when the thoughts are absent, you still exist. This realization of separateness can help you to distance yourself from your worries. Sitting on the riverbank is the separation.\n\nYou have the ability to choose not to engage with your thoughts. This is not a form of avoidance or denial. This is about worry management. There is a place and time to give energy to the concerns of daily living but the place is not in bed and the time is not 3:00 in the morning! Let \u201cNot here, not now\u201d, be your mantra. Assure yourself that you will re-engage with these concerns in the morning when the sun is up, the birds are chirping, and you have your beverage of choice in hand. Practice this as often as you can and you will find your ability to put aside worrisome thoughts at night should improve over time and so will your sleep!<|endoftext|>Java - Threads\n\nHome > Preview\n\nThe flashcards below were created by user javatomas on FreezingBlue Flashcards.\n\n 1.

Each thread manipulates a pair of shared variables.\n 17. 3 problems with synchronization\n \u2022 no synchronization\n \u2022 deadlock\n \u2022 time cost associated with lock acquisition\n 18. No synchronization\n After a thread voluntarily or involuntarily (through an exception) exits a critical code section, it releases a lock so another thread can gain entry. Suppose two threads want to enter the same critical code section. To prevent both threads from entering that critical code section simultaneously, each thread must attempt to acquire the same lock. If each thread attempts to acquire a different lock and succeeds, both threads enter the critical code section; neither thread has to wait for the other thread to release its lock because the other thread acquires a different lock. The end result: no synchronization\n 19. How to avoid no-synchronization?\n choose an object common to all relevant threads. That way, those threads compete to acquire the same object's lock, and only one thread at a time can enter the associated critical code section.\n 20. Deadlock\n Thread A acquires a lock that thread B needs before thread B can enter B's critical code section. Similarly, thread B acquires a lock that thread A needs before thread A can enter A's critical code section. Because neither thread has the lock it needs, each thread must wait to acquire its lock. Furthermore, because neither thread can proceed, neither thread can release the other thread's lock, and program execution freezes.\n 21. How to avoid deadlock?\n carefully analyze your source code for situations where threads might attempt to acquire each others' locks, such as when a synchronized method calls another synchronized method. You must do that because a JVM cannot detect or prevent deadlock\n 22. What is thread scheduling?\n Manages the one or more threads to share the processor.\n 23. What are the 4 thread states?\n \u2022 Initial State\n \u2022 Runnable State\n \u2022 Blocked State\n \u2022 Terminating State\n 24. Initial state\n A program has created a thread's thread object, but the thread does not yet exist because the thread object's\u00a0start()\u00a0method has not yet been called.\n 25. Runnable state\n This is a thread's default state. After the call to\u00a0start()\u00a0completes, a thread becomes runnable whether or not that thread is running, that is, using the processor. Although many threads might be runnable, only one currently runs. Thread schedulers determine which runnable thread to assign to the processor.\n 26. Blocked state\n When a thread executes the\u00a0sleep(),\u00a0wait(), or\u00a0join()\u00a0methods, when a thread attempts to read data not yet available from a network, and when a thread waits to acquire a lock, that thread is in the blocked state: it is neither running nor in a position to run. (You can probably think of other times when a thread would wait for something to happen.) When a blocked thread unblocks, that thread moves to the runnable state.\n 27. Terminating state\n Once execution leaves a thread's\u00a0run()\u00a0method, that thread is in the terminating state. In other words, the thread ceases to exist.\n 28. What are green threads?\n JVM threads", "base_doc": " the phenomenon of the overly active mind at night can really get in the way of falling asleep. Many patients have told me they wish there was a big switch in their head they could simply turn off at night. Unfortunately, such a simple switch hasn\u2019t been invented yet.\n\nOne option is sleeping pills but this is not a healthy long term solution for many reasons. There are simple mental distraction techniques you can try that can work in the short-term. The old counting sheep method is an example of distraction but it\u2019s pretty dated at this point. It may have had more relevance back when more of us were shepherds!\n\nBeyond short-term distraction techniques there is another level of mental manipulation that can help you manage your overactive mind at night in a more sustainable way. This method is part of what I call \u201cgraduate level\u201d sleep therapy. This approach can help no matter what kinds of thoughts might be keeping you up at night.\n\nHere\u2019s how it goes: As you lay in bed with your eyes closed, imagine a raging river flowing swiftly past you. It\u2019s like the kind you might see on the TV news of a flash flood. The current is swift and there is debris and various objects in the water being tossed about as the river flows downstream.\n\nIn this metaphor, the river is your stream of consciousness. The stream is continuous, always flowing (even when you\u2019re asleep!). Sometimes the flow is slow and peaceful but at times it can rage and feel out of control. The objects being tossed around in the cascading water are the contents of your consciousness, your thoughts. These are the things or concerns that are floating around in your mind at night keeping you awake. The river may even seem circular in that the same things drift away temporarily only to return again.\n\nNow, imagine yourself sitting on the bank of the river watching all of this flow past you and tell yourself \u201cWow, I am so glad I\u2019m not in that\u201d! Instead of being tossed helplessly along with the current you can choose to swim to the riverbank, climb out of the water, and just observe. You, as a conscious being, are not one and the same as the things you think or worry about. Thoughts are things that happen to\u00a0you. They are not you. You know this because in the moments when the thoughts are absent, you still exist. This realization of separateness can help you to distance yourself from your worries. Sitting on the riverbank is the separation.\n\nYou have the ability to choose not to engage with your thoughts. This is not a form of avoidance or denial. This is about worry management. There is a place and time to give energy to the concerns of daily living but the place is not in bed and the time is not 3:00 in the morning! Let \u201cNot here, not now\u201d, be your mantra. Assure yourself that you will re-engage with these concerns in the morning when the sun is up, the birds are chirping, and you have your beverage of choice in hand. Practice this as often as you can and you will find your ability to put aside worrisome thoughts at night should improve over time and so will your sleep!<|endoftext|>Java - Threads\n\nHome > Preview\n\nThe flashcards below were created by user javatomas on FreezingBlue Flashcards.\n\n 1.

Once a Thread is stopped, can it be restarted with start()?\n No,\u00a0stop()\u00a0will terminate the execution of a thread.\n 5. What will happen to the Thread you can pause it?\n 6. What does the Thread Scheduler monitor do?\n 7. What are the 2 characteristics of a thread that the scheduler identifies in its decision process?\n \u2022 The most important: \u00a0The priority of the thread\n \u2022 The daemon flag.\n 8. What are daemon threads?\n Daemon threads are non-user threads. They are typically used to carry out low-priority tasks that should not take priority over the main task of the program\n 9. What happens to the JVM when there are only daemon threads running?\n JVM will exit!\n 10. The scheduler comes in what 2 flavors?\n \u2022 preemptive\n \u2022 non-preemptive\n 11. What are Preemptive schedulers?\n They give a certain time-slice to all threads running on the system.\n 12. What do non-preemptive schedulers accomplish?\n 13. yield()\n 14. What is Synchronization?\n Synchronization is the act of\u00a0serializing\u00a0(or ordering one at a time) thread access to those code sequences that let multiple threads manipulate class and instance field variables, and other shared resources\n 15. Can Threads share local variables and parameters?\n No, because local variables and parameters allocate on a thread's method-call stack.

What are green threads?\n JVM threads\n 29. What are native threads?\n OS handles thread scheduling\n 30. How does native thread schedulers prevent starvation?\n It uses time-slicing to prevent processor starvation of equal-priority threads.\n\n The idea is to give each equal-priority thread the same amount of time, known as a quantum. A timer tracks each quantum's remaining time and alerts the thread scheduler when the quantum expires. The thread scheduler then schedules another equal-priority thread to run, unless a higher-priority thread unblocks.\n 31. How to prevent lower-priority threads from starving?\n some thread schedulers, such as Windows schedulers, give temporary priority boosts to threads that have not run in a long time. When the thread runs, that priority boost decays. Thread schedulers still give higher-priority threads preference over lower-priority threads, but at least all threads receive a chance to run.\n 32. What is the significance of setPriority(int priority)?\n proves useful in preventing processor starvation.\n\nCard Set Information\n\nJava - Threads\n2013-", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 202864, "pt_loc": 25050225, "pt_shuffle_idx": 82525780, "doc_index_f": 129369884, "doc_index_l": 129369885, "offset_f": 102, "offset_l": 1383, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 235, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [665, 1384]} -{"pt_doc": "? obligations in a legal separation as in a Nevada divorce.

That is why so many body builders and other sports professionals wanted to know where they could buy Dianabol.\n\nDianabol was one of the first, and for a time the only, anabolic steroid that was ever concocted simply for performance enhancement. It was used for other purposes at one time, but the main reason Dianabol was researched and produced was as a performance enhancer. That is the real reason for the appearance of Dianabol for sale.\n\nThe actual name of Dianabol is Methandrostenolone, and its therapeutic use was for the treatment of osteoporosis, due to its anabolic effects without the drawbacks of massive doses of testosterone. Dianabol was withdrawn from the market by the FDA in the United States, and it is no longer legally available in the United States.\u00a0 However, it is very much available throughout the world, and to buy Dbol in the US, all you have to do is look for Dianabol online. A lot of people use the term, Dbol to refer to Dianabol.\n\nWhat Dianabol actually is, is a form of altered testosterone. Researches were seeking the best parts of testosterone and wanted to created a form of it that did not carry the side effects of testosterone. That is why they originally came up with Dbol for sale. They had discovered that Dianabol could be taken orally, whereas testosterone had to be injected. They found that testosterone\u2019s side effects, such as the growth of mammary tissue in men, could be ameliorated with the use of Dbol instead of testosterone.\n\nWith the advent of the Internet, body builders and athletes could go on search engines and find Dbol online, instead of buying it on the underground market. Underground steroids can be dangerous, in that one does not know whether or not what you are taking was manufactured in someone\u2019s bathtub, and whether or not it is the real thing.\n\nWhat is good about Dianabol, or Dbol, is that it is not a base steroid, meaning that body builders and sports men will not build a cycle around, but rather, one that is added to a stack of steroid use. This makes it important for any body builder and sports enthusiast.\n\nDianabol\u2019s effects come on very fast, and they are extremely dramatic. A body builder can gain as much as 20 pounds of muscle in only a few weeks. This makes the most common use of Dianabol one that is used for \u2018bulking,\u2019 or building larger, firmer muscles.\n\nOne of the drawback of Dianabol is acne, but this can be treated by the individual by using Dianabol as directed, and only as directed.

This makes the most common use of Dianabol one that is used for \u2018bulking,\u2019 or building larger, firmer muscles.\n\nOne of the drawback of Dianabol is acne, but this can be treated by the individual by using Dianabol as directed, and only as directed.

I should digress by noting that George Lee should have been portrayed in Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. While not related to him, he was one of his closest friends. The perfect lookalike would have been Takeshi Kitano. Then again, Steve James (a martial arts actor) described the movie as the most expensive Bruceploitation movie.\u00a0In December of 1965, Bruce told George that if the 20th Century Fox deal didn\u2019t pan out then he would have two contracts in Hong Kong to look forward to. Thanks to The Green Hornet, H.K. could wait.\u00a0In the meantime, he was elevating his English-speaking credibility by attending acting lessons hosted by Jeff Corey while still finding the time to teach martial arts to actors", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 204500, "pt_loc": 46253888, "pt_shuffle_idx": 124047278, "doc_index_f": 194418873, "doc_index_l": 194418876, "offset_f": 548, "offset_l": 231, "pt_injection_pos": 2, "pt_window_offset": 7, "pt_injection_len": 235, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [722, 419, 676, 232]} -{"pt_doc": "body in the United States to call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire.

These guys have load of attacks, can carry multiple weapons, given the option for termie honors all around, but at a very high pts cost. Use them sparingly, and keep them well protected. On the charge they provide almost invaluable support, and can cut through anything like a S 5 power sword through T 4 Power armor.\n\n\nTactical Squads:\nObvious choice here. These guys will form the core of your army. Although their function to your war effort will not be the same as regular chapters. They are meant to bear the brunt of your opponents attacks. They are there to draw enemy fire, and provide fire support. They are NOT however meant to make kills or act as a kill unit. Because of the nature of the weaponry they hold, it is usually best advisable to get them within rapid fire range or have their guns in range of your opponents table edge. Rhino\u2019s will allow you to achieve this. Even with the advent of the new rules set, a rhino rush is still effective and can be done, although it is no longer a rhino rush in its original sense, you are now able to jump out and rapid fire into an enemy unit, quite devastating still.

Their support both full and empty is truly invaluable. I have used them to block LOS on heavy weapons units to locking down Dreadnoughts in table corners. Let me give you an example.\nI played a BT player who had a long range Dreaddy (tlcan/mlauncher) which he deployed at the table corner. My rhino dropped off its marines, at that point he no longer considered the rhino a threat. Because of this my rhino crossed the board and parked itself in front of his dreaddy at an angle, ensuring it could not walk around it.

I did the same thing to a unit of devastators and long fangs. Now these guys cant move and shoot, so they could either blow the rhino this turn, move next turn, then shoot the turn after, keeping them busy for a total of 3 turns.

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

Those who hold this \"already but not yet view\" approach the study of the kingdom with the presupposition that there is at least a spiritual kingdom which is already established, and a physical kingdom which is yet to come. This view accepts the spiritual nature of the kingdom and the time statements that clearly teach that it arrived in the first century, but they still hold to a future physical kingdom, also. They do this because they don't understand the distinction of the \"ages\" or the clear Scriptural teaching concerning the transition period. During the first century the kingdom was \"already\" inaugurated but \"not yet\" consummated:\n\nHebrews 12:28 (NKJV) Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.\n\nThe word \"receiving\" is from the Greek word paralambano, and it is in the present tense showing progression. The kingdom was being brought into its fullness during the first century by progression. This \"kingdom that cannot be shaken\" is the church of Jesus Christ, it is the New Covenant, it is Mount Zion the heavenly Jerusalem.\n\nThis \"already but not yet\" was only a first century condition. The kingdom was fully consummated in AD 70 with the destruction of Jerusalem and the Jewish temple:\n\nLuke 21:21-22 (NKJV) \"Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. 22 \"For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.\nLuke 21:31-32 (NKJV) \"So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. 32 \"Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place.\n\nLuke ties the destruction of Jerusalem with the appearance of the Kingdom. He also states the Kingdom will arrive in its consummated state before that generation standing there dies off.\n\nMost believers don't understand that we live in a different age than Paul did. Paul lived in what the Bible calls the \"last days\"- they were the last days of the Old Covenant. Those \"last days\" began at Pentecost and ended at AD 70 when the Jewish temple was destroyed. We now live in what the Bible calls \"the age to come\", which is the New Covenant age - the kingdom. This forty year period, from Pentecost to Holocaust, was a time of transition from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant. In this transition period, the kingdom of God had been inaugurated but not consummated. It was a time of \"already but not yet.\" Notice what was to happen at the end of the age:\n\nMatthew 13:49-50 (NKJV) \"So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, separate the wicked from among the just, 50 \"and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.\"\n\nNotice who is taken - the wicked! I believe this speaks of the Judgement of Jerusalem in AD 70. The \"end\" that Jesus is talking about was the end of the Jewish age, when the wicked Jews were burned in the destruction of Jerusalem and the kingdom of God was consummated.\n\nAll through the New Testament we see two ages in contrast: \"This age\" and the \"age to come.\"\n\nEphesians 1:21 (NKJV) far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.\n\nHere we see the two ages. The understanding of these two ages, and when they changed is fundamental to interpreting the Bible.\n\nThe New Testament writer lived in the age that they called \"this age.\" To the New Testament writers the \"age to come\" was future, but it was very near, because \"this age\" was about to end:\n\n1 Corinthians 10:11 (NKJV) Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.\n\nPaul said very plainly that the end of the ages was coming upon them, the first century saints. \"This age,\" along with its wisdom and rulers, was about to end.\n\nWe now live in what was to the first century saints the \"age to come.\" When most Christians read in the New Testament and see the words \"the age to come,\" they think of a yet future (to us) age. But the New Testament writers were referring to the Christian age - the kingdom of God. We live in what was to them the \"age to come,\" the Kingdom age. It is an age that has no end! Christ's kingdom is everlasting, it will never pass away or be destroyed:\n\nLuke 1:32-33 (NKJV) \"He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 \"And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.\"\n\nSo the answer to the question, \"When is the kingdom to come?\" - It was inaugurated at the coming of Christ, and it was consummated when Christ came in judgement on Jerusalem in AD 70. The kingdom of God is the Church! And all Christians are kingdom citizens.\n\nSo, as I see it, it is destructive to say that the \"Sermon on the Mount\" has nothing to do with modern Christians. It is something that is meant for all Christian people. It is a perfect picture of the life of the kingdom of God. The \"Sermon on the Mount\" is not saying, \"Live like this, and you will become a Christian\". What it is saying is, \"Because you are a Christian, live like this. This is how Christians are to live\".\n\nAugustine of Hippo, that great Theologian of the fifth century, said:\n\nIf any one will piously and soberly consider the sermon which our Lord Jesus Christ spoke on the mount, as we read it in the Gospel according to Matthew, I think that he will find in it, so far as regards the highest mor", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 207772, "pt_loc": 48899491, "pt_shuffle_idx": 221114406, "doc_index_f": 346603865, "doc_index_l": 346603865, "offset_f": 3664, "offset_l": 5712, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 245, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": " hear\n\n24 Ms. Isailovic.\n\n25 Please answer.\n\nPage 820\n\n1 THE WITNESS: [Interpretation] Yes.\n\n2 JUDGE ROBINSON: Ms. Isailovic.\n\n3 MS.

However, internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle-ownership is unlikely to disappear soon so it is vital to develop environmentally-friendly innovations to make their use more sustainable, such as Hyundai\u2019s lean-burn fuel.\n\n\n\u201cBEVs and FCEVs will be Hyundai Motor Group\u2019s ultimate technologies to achieve carbon neutral mobility, while eco-friendly ICE technology that combines eco-friendly fuel and ultra-lean burn engine will be the key to effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions during our transition to EVs,\u201d said Alain Raposo, Executive Vice President, Hyundai Motor Group, and Leader, Electrified Propulsion Technical Unit.\n\n\nThrough lean-burn technology, fuel can be burnt with an excess of air in internal combustion chambers, emitting less hydrocarbons into the atmosphere. Additionally, a lean-burn combine can provide higher compression ratios, efficient fuel use and an overall better performance.\n\n\nE-fuels are synthesized from green hydrogen and carbon dioxide and can lower a car\u2019s emissions by up to 80 percent. The two-year collaborative research project aims to create an advanced fuel formulation for which Hyundai group will provide an ultra-lean-burn gasoline engine to be used by the research team.\n\n\nAramco will provide its advanced fuel technology services while KAUST will oversee the research and testing. The study will also measure the impact of e-fuel on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through simulation and engine testing. The incorporation of this future technology is one of the ways Hyundai Group is looking to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045, along with Kia Corporation.\n\n\n\u201cBuilding more efficient and less polluting transport systems is a critical contribution to the circular carbon economy approach to tackling climate change. Our Clean Combustion Research Center is ideally placed to support this significant development with its excellent record in the development and optimization of low-carbon fuels,\u201d said Donal Bradley, Vice President for Research, KAUS.\n\n\nE-fuel could be a major contribution to the Mexican automotive industry\u2019s sustainability plans, particularly as EVs continue to roll out at a slower pace in the country in comparison to other regions.

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

However, internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle-ownership is unlikely to disappear soon so it is vital to develop environmentally-friendly innovations to make their use more sustainable, such as Hyundai\u2019s lean-burn fuel.\n\n\n\u201cBEVs and FCEVs will be Hyundai Motor Group\u2019s ultimate technologies to achieve carbon neutral mobility, while eco-friendly ICE technology that combines eco-friendly fuel and ultra-lean burn engine will be the key to effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions during our transition to EVs,\u201d said Alain Raposo, Executive Vice President, Hyundai Motor Group, and Leader, Electrified Propulsion Technical Unit.\n\n\nThrough lean-burn technology, fuel can be burnt with an excess of air in internal combustion chambers, emitting less hydrocarbons into the atmosphere. Additionally, a lean-burn combine can provide higher compression ratios, efficient fuel use and an overall better performance.\n\n\nE-fuels are synthesized from green hydrogen and carbon dioxide and can lower a car\u2019s emissions by up to 80 percent. The two-year collaborative research project aims to create an advanced fuel formulation for which Hyundai group will provide an ultra-lean-burn gasoline engine to be used by the research team.\n\n\nAramco will provide its advanced fuel technology services while KAUST will oversee the research and testing. The study will also measure the impact of e-fuel on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through simulation and engine testing. The incorporation of this future technology is one of the ways Hyundai Group is looking to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045, along with Kia Corporation.\n\n\n\u201cBuilding more efficient and less polluting transport systems is a critical contribution to the circular carbon economy approach to tackling climate change. Our Clean Combustion Research Center is ideally placed to support this significant development with its excellent record in the development and optimization of low-carbon fuels,\u201d said Donal Bradley, Vice President for Research, KAUS.\n\n\nE-fuel could be a major contribution to the Mexican automotive industry\u2019s sustainability plans, particularly as EVs continue to roll out at a slower pace in the country in comparison to other regions. Drivers will have to wait for these technologies to be developed first.\n\nAlfonso N\u00fa\u00f1ez Alfonso N\u00fa\u00f1ez Journalist & Industry Analyst<|endoftext|>Muffler Education- Understanding The Complexities Of A Muffler\n\nWritten by on September 1, 2000 Photo Courtesy Flowmaster\nMuffler Education- Understanding The Complexities Of A Muffler View All 1 Photos\nCtrp 0009 01 Z+muffler Education+flowmaster 1/1\n\nTo understand the complexities of an automotive muffler, particularly one intended for racing or high-performance engines, it's necessary to include some basic informational components.

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

The Sandlot - \"Kidish\" and cheesy, I know... but there's something this movie says about the spirit of the game and friendship during a magical summer playing a wonderful sport that just gets to me.\n 2. Rudy - This movie makes grown men cry. \"Rudy, Rudy, Rudy...\" Nuff said.\n 3. Cinderella Man - I liked this movie better than Rocky. He shows every bit as much heart, and I love the setting, cinematography, and story telling even more.\n 4. Breaking Away - Little known (it seems?) flick about a kid coming of age and fighting accepted cultural norms. Full of heart.\n 5. The Natural - Classic movie on the classic game.\n 6. Chariots of Fire - I fear most modern movie aficionados will not appreciate this due to the movie's pace, style and age, but it's a classic movie based on an athlete's motivation when it's not based on money.\n 7. Rocky (series) - Classic boxing movies that set the bar for all sports movies to come. It appeared the more they made the worse they became, but Rocky Balboa ended the series right.\n 8. Bull Durham - Sharp, witty, gritty (and a mite bit inappropriate), this movie focuses on the realities of baseball and the love of the game. I loved how authentic the characters in this movie felt.\n 9. Field of Dreams - Another classic, and while it contains quite possibly the most overused sports quote of all time, it's still a joy to watch and an inspiration for a dream.\n 10. Remember the Titans - Top 10 list would be incomplete without one movie of this ilk, and this was my favorite. A great performance by Denzell Washington that makes you feel good all over.\n 11. Shaolin Soccer - I realize this doesn't fit in standard Top \"10\" list, but this movie also doesn't fit in in many other ways. It's hilarious and either you love it or you just don't get it.\nTop 10 Sports Movies Brad Wants To See:\n 1. Eight Men Out\n 2. Jerry McGuire\n 3. Raging Bull\n 4. Million Dollar Baby\n 5.

It shouldn't be that hard to get from California to Kalamazoo, Michigan... right?\n\nWe were running late. My mom took far too long to pack and instead of leaving when we planned (to arrive at the airport two hours before our plane was to depart), we left in time to arrive at the airport thirty minutes before the flight would depart. Thirty minutes to park in a strange parking lot, figure out how to leave our vehicle in the long term parking lot, then determine the route of the shuttle bus that would take us from the parking lot to the terminal, rush (haha!) through the draconian, orwellian airport security \u201cfeatures\u201d while my dad gets \u201cspecial inspection\u201d and finally find the gate where we would board.\n\nSomehow we made it. (The door was shut immediately after my parents entered.) And then the flight to Las Vegas to connect us to Chicago. Now, I've been on more than a few flights. The worst of which was from Atlanta to Los Angeles on the way back from a Hurricane Katrina relief trip where I had a fever and constantly felt like losing my lunch... and never finding it again. But this was different.\n\nI've never experience claustrophobia before, except one time as a young child when a hay maze caved in. I'd certainly never felt claustrophobic on an airplane before, but this time the walls were closing in. The air was becoming stale. My lungs could not breathe quick enough. The oxygen was not reaching my blood. I was going to die... then I defeated it with logic. (Have I mentioned I'm a nerd?) The walls could not be closing in, there was plenty of room (and air) on the plane and there was nothing wrong with my hemoglobin. I have no idea what happened. Well, I have a guess, but that's saved for another blog. Ask me and maybe I'll tell you. ;)\n\nRegardless, I arrived at the airport, conscious and well. However, our hotel's free shuttle did not. It was five minutes past the time that we had confirmed (twice!) that there would be a free ride for us from Midway airport in Chicago to our hotel. The hotel that we explicitly made reservations with because they offered a free shuttle from Midway airport to the hotel. The exchange went a little something like this...\n\n\u201cMom, we should call and make sure they are sending us the shuttle.\u201d\n\u201cWell, they are only five minutes late, and it's a thirty minute drive...\u201d\n\u201cMom, it's two in the morning... I'm sure not even Chicago has traffic at this time, and the paid employees who drive the shuttle's certainly have nowhere better to be.\u201d\n*she calls*\n\u201cOh I'm sorry ma'am, our shuttle only goes to O'Hare. We don't pick up from Midway.\u201d\n\u201cBut we made reservations with you because of your free shuttle pickup at Midway.\u201d\n\u201cSorry ma'am, there's nothing we can do.\u201d\n\u201cYou assured me today, twice, that you would have someone here to pick us up when we came off the plane. You told us to stand at door two at Midway and here we are... where are you?\u201d\n\u201cI suggest taking a taxi.

Also, Pete Seeger (and The Byrds) also agreed with Qohelet on this one, \"To everything there is a season.\"\n\nSunday, October 5, 2008\n\nA new tool\n\nSo I call it a tool only because it would sound wasteful to call it a\ntoy, but as much as I will be playing with it it may as well be a toy.\nBut it really is quite useful...\n\nSent from my iPhone\n\nTuesday, September 30, 2008\n\nBrad's Top 10 Sports Movies of All-Time\n\nEhhh, I needed something opinion based to post on, so here goes....\n 1. The Sandlot - \"Kidish\" and cheesy, I know... but there's something this movie says about the spirit of the game and friendship during a magical summer playing a wonderful sport that just gets to me.\n 2. Rudy - This movie makes grown men cry. \"Rudy, Rudy, Rudy...\" Nuff said.\n 3. Cinderella Man - I liked this movie better than Rocky. He shows every bit as much heart, and I love the setting, cinematography, and story telling even more.\n 4. Breaking Away - Little known (it seems?) flick about a kid coming of age and fighting accepted cultural norms. Full of heart.\n 5. The Natural - Classic movie on the classic game.\n 6. Chariots of Fire - I fear most modern movie aficionados will not appreciate this due to the movie's pace, style and age, but it's a classic movie based on an athlete's motivation when it's not based on money.\n 7. Rocky (series) - Classic boxing movies that set the bar for all sports movies to come. It appeared the more they made the worse they became, but Rocky Balboa ended the series right.\n 8. Bull Durham - Sharp, witty, gritty (and a mite bit inappropriate), this movie focuses on the realities of baseball and the love of the game. I loved how authentic the characters in this movie felt.\n 9. Field of Dreams - Another classic, and while it contains quite possibly the most overused sports quote of all time, it's still a joy to watch and an inspiration for a dream.\n 10. Remember the Titans - Top 10 list would be incomplete without one movie of this ilk, and this was my favorite. A great performance by Denzell Washington that makes you feel good all over.\n 11. Shaolin Soccer - I realize this doesn't fit in standard Top \"10\" list, but this movie also doesn't fit in in many other ways. It's hilarious and either you love it or you just don't get it.\nTop 10 Sports Movies Brad Wants To See:\n 1. Eight Men Out\n 2. Jerry McGuire\n 3. Raging Bull\n 4. Million Dollar Baby\n 5. The Pride of the Yankees\n 6. The Hustler\n 7. The Longest Yard\n 8. Hoosiers\n 9. Miracle\n 10. Seabiscuit\nAny of your favorites I missed or forgot?

I can't believe I went a whole month without posting. And I even wrote the second part of that too!

It shouldn't be that hard to get from California to Kalamazoo, Michigan... right?\n\nWe were running late. My mom took far too long to pack and instead of leaving when we planned (to arrive at the airport two hours before our plane was to depart), we left in time to arrive at the airport thirty minutes before the flight would depart. Thirty minutes to park in a strange parking lot, figure out how to leave our vehicle in the long term parking lot, then determine the route of the shuttle bus that would take us from the parking lot to the terminal, rush (haha!) through the draconian, orwellian airport security \u201cfeatures\u201d while my dad gets \u201cspecial inspection\u201d and finally find the gate where we would board.\n\nSomehow we made it. (The door was shut immediately after my parents entered.) And then the flight to Las Vegas to connect us to Chicago. Now, I've been on more than a few flights. The worst of which was from Atlanta to Los Angeles on the way back from a Hurricane Katrina relief trip where I had a fever and constantly felt like losing my lunch... and never finding it again. But this was different.\n\nI've never experience claustrophobia before, except one time as a young child when a hay maze caved in. I'd certainly never felt claustrophobic on an airplane before, but this time the walls were closing in. The air was becoming stale. My lungs could not breathe quick enough. The oxygen was not reaching my blood. I was going to die... then I defeated it with logic. (Have I mentioned I'm a nerd?) The walls could not be closing in, there was plenty of room (and air) on the plane and there was nothing wrong with my hemoglobin. I have no idea what happened. Well, I have a guess, but that's saved for another blog. Ask me and maybe I'll tell you. ;)\n\nRegardless, I arrived at the airport, conscious and well. However, our hotel's free shuttle did not. It was five minutes past the time that we had confirmed (twice!) that there would be a free ride for us from Midway airport in Chicago to our hotel. The hotel that we explicitly made reservations with because they offered a free shuttle from Midway airport to the hotel. The exchange went a little something like this...\n\n\u201cMom, we should call and make sure they are sending us the shuttle.\u201d\n\u201cWell, they are only five minutes late, and it's a thirty minute drive...\u201d\n\u201cMom, it's two in the morning... I'm sure not even Chicago has traffic at this time, and the paid employees who drive the shuttle's certainly have nowhere better to be.\u201d\n*she calls*\n\u201cOh I'm sorry ma'am, our shuttle only goes to O'Hare. We don't pick up from Midway.\u201d\n\u201cBut we made reservations with you because of your free shuttle pickup at Midway.\u201d\n\u201cSorry ma'am, there's nothing we can do.\u201d\n\u201cYou assured me today, twice, that you would have someone here to pick us up when we came off the plane. You told us to stand at door two at Midway and here we are... where are you?\u201d\n\u201cI suggest taking a taxi. Goodbye.\u201d\n\nSupposedly, a manager was also called, but that did nothing to help the situation. We called Best Western's Guest Relations, also no help. In the end, we took a taxi. A $59 taxi. With a driver who played Elvis on his Ipod Touch. Elvis singing gospel hymns. Elvis singing my all time least like song, He Touched Me. I literally felt like I was in a nightmare that I could not wake up from.\n\nWe arrived at the hotel and the hallways smelled like a rotten seashore. It was a peculiar saltwater smell mixed with rotten fish and moldy seaweed. But we were too tired to care. We collapsed on our beds, exhausted, nearly two hours after stepping off of the plane and with our wallets $59 lighter due to non-budgeted expenses. After complaining to the manager face to face the next morning (still no help) we left in search of our previously arranged rental car so we could drive from Chicago, IL to Kalamazoo, MI.\n\nSimply because nothing could be simple on this trip, the car rental place was found in the lobby of a hotel we eventually located three miles away.

You seem to be creating this anti-MLS snobbo-ness, after the Confederation cup in 2009 and the World Cup this year the americans reputation in football has been alot better than it was pre-2009. Then you have some snobbo like yourself trying to fuel the fire with an article like this. Firstly I don't know the last time Glasgow Celtic done anything outside Scotland. I'm not blaming there terrible performance on travelling, what I am saying is that they are playing in a league not nearly as competitive as the MLS, they rarely beat teams that are not from Scotland. Giving out about Manchester United winning 3-1? They won get over it. Anyone but a bitter fan would give out about that. Spurs didn't win fair enough there is grounds to give out about that considering they are missing their 2 top scorer, their 2 centre halves and a winger, 2 full backs and their number 1 keeper. How couldn't San Jose score? Also wait until Manchester United get there hands on one of the MLS teams. I have come to believe you are the biggest snob of all firstly, it is called Football, it has been around alot longer than what you americans call football(which doesn't consist of mostly using your foot or a ball; which is defined as a spherical object). Secondly it is referred to as nil-nil(look it up in the dictionary). Thirdly agreeing to keep at 11 vs. 11, that would make the World Cup finals look like a walk in the park.

Wendell Gee\n commented on: July 19, 2010 at 7:41 a.m.\n Both the article and comment no. 1 are nonsense to me. First, Mr Walsh, different English-speaking countries use different words for the same thing. This is nothing particularly noteworthy, and not worth any degree of indignation. I just returned from South Africa where, like a number of countries, the use of the word soccer is widespread. Would you similarly scold South Africans for their choice of words? If so, I imagine you would need to brace yourself for being labeled a cultural-imperialist wanker, or some such. That's generally what happens when you go to other countries and arrogantly tell them how to speak. Should baseball ever become popular in England, and should the English adopt their own terminology for certain facets of the game, I cannot imagine the virulent reaction it would (deservedly) elicit were I to go over there and so arrogantly declare, \"it's called (stolen base, double play, force out, whatever) in America, and you have to call it that too!\" Different countries, same language, different words. That's normal. Deal with it. (And seriously, have you never in your life heard an Englishman utter the phrase, zero-zero? Seriously?)\n\n 1. Wendell Gee\n commented on: July 19, 2010 at 8:08 a.m.\n Second, Mr Gardner, please. The notion that there are millions, or even hundreds of thousands, of \"Eurosnobs\" out there is a US soccer message board myth. No, not all people who might to some degree consider themselves soccer fans in the US follow MLS. There are any number of reasons why this might be the case. Sure, \"snobbery\" is one reason, and yes eurosnobs exist. And by \"eurosnobs\" I mean people who arrogantly dismiss MLS out of principle as they carefully manufacture some kind of Euro-soccer image for themselves. But their numbers are insignificant. Most US-based soccer fans who don't follow MLS are hardly image-obsessed \"poseurs\". Maybe for completely innocuous reasons, not based on any principle, MLS has simply failed to capture their interest, the way some television shows might fail to grab someone's interest for no particular reason. Surely these people are not worth moralizing condemnation? Some might simply not live near an MLS team. Were the 36,000 people regularly seen in Qwest Field previously \"eurosnobs\"? No, clearly they had nothing against following MLS out of any kind of principle. There simply weren't compelling reasons to follow MLS. And without a local team, surely the whole diverse world of soccer is fair game for one's loyalties, yes? Or is that also worthy of condemnation?\n\n 1. Tony Molledo\n commented on: July 19, 2010 at 8:42 a.m.\n With so much positive going on in soccer now, more and more Americans paying attention, ratings up, more coverage available and all, why are you such a Niagra of negativity?

Emmanuel Vella\n commented on: July 19, 2010 at 8:45 a.m.\n Dear Mr. Gardner, I prefer watching the English Premier league to the MLS. I am sorry I enjoy watching more skilled players play to packed out stadiums. I am sorry. I cannot help but wonder why ANY MLS player who was offered a slot in an EPL team would drop everything to take it? Just the money maybe? I don't thing so. BTW. Please stop denigrating football/soccer of whatever the hell you want to call it in Australia and NZ. The fact is Both teams played far better that US in the world cup against tougher competition. Australia managed to tie Ghana with 10 men. Ghana's only goal was a soft penalty and went on to destroy serbia...NZ did very well to tie Italy and should have won that game. Australia has produced more world class outfield players (Viduka, Kewell, Cahill, Bresciano) that have played at top level in Europe that the US has...Stick to producing goal keepers...Oh wait Mark Schwarzer the Australian NAtional team keeper is in the process of signing for Arsenal so I guess you cannot even stand on that laurel....You are pathetic.

Klein\n commented on: July 19, 2010 at 8:49 a.m.\n I sure hope MLS sides (Ooh! I said a dirty word!) do well against Manchester United, Celtic, Tottenham Hotspur, etc. on their summer tours. I mean, those sides are essentially a preseason rabble, so if MLS sides in midseason form can't beat them, then the league is worse off than any alleged \"Eurosnob\" could ever hope for.\n\n 1.

Hence, soccer, American football, Australian football, rugby -- all have the same rights to be called \"football\".

This was my previous comment at another page; Who was the idiot referee who ruined the game for Seattle (vs. Celtic)? The moron should be barred, at very least blacklisted by the US Federation. I am not saying to use favoritism, but not be extreme at a friendly where the outcome is practically meaningless, with the exception for the US public in this case Seattle. Thus sacrificing a possible good show for the crowd to enjoy. We need a crowd like that for the \"game\" in the US. It was a friendly game he should have given a penalty at max., but not ejecting the poalkeeper to surely doom the game and influence the result with one less player to play the entire game.

(Retd.) Minoo Wadia, Founder-President of the Federation of Indian Pilots, who has flown extensively in the North East, especially in the 1960s, says there are some similarities in conditions and topography between Nepal and the area \u2014 lots of mountains, airfields in valleys and strong winds. \u201cWe have a lot of military aircraft in these places, very, very few civilians flights. You need loads of experience to fly there, it is certainly not routine flying. Usually, when people train for flying, it is in fair weather conditions, but certain places have very specific, unique, weather conditions. In the North East especially, there are very strong winds and you experience a lot of down drafts. I have seen aircraft where the wings have broken, some have crashed literally on top of a hill.\u201d Capt. Wadia, also recalls a couple of very experienced, foreign pilots who were taken aback at seeing these airfields, common in the North East. \u201cI remember one of them saying, is this an airfield?

Mumbai businessman, Kushal A remembers flying from the capital Kathmandu and landing at Chitwan in Nepal, years ago. Says Kushal, \u201cIt was a small plane, with six passengers and one air hostess. Our bags were put in the nose of the plane. When we were landing, I blinked in disbelief. It looked like a field, rather than an airfield. The plane landed and we deplaned to cows grazing all around us! They were kept out by ropes on the perimeter, so they could not come close to the aircraft. All of us had to take our luggage ourselves and walk to a single-storey, small building which was the airport. We could still see the cows as we walked. Soon, I saw the plane taking off, as the cows continued to graze. I laugh about it now, but, I remember some passengers looking a little shaken at the experience.\u201d\n\nFamous: The Muktinath Temple\n\nThe tragedy\nA plane, operated by Agni Air, with 21 people on board crashed after it was unable to land in a mountainous area of Nepal on Monday. Reports state that the plane was very close to the airport at Jomsom when it crashed. Six people have survived, including a Danish couple, the air-hostess and three Indians.

(Retd.) Minoo Wadia, Founder-President of the Federation of Indian Pilots, who has flown extensively in the North East, especially in the 1960s, says there are some similarities in conditions and topography between Nepal and the area \u2014 lots of mountains, airfields in valleys and strong winds. \u201cWe have a lot of military aircraft in these places, very, very few civilians flights. You need loads of experience to fly there, it is certainly not routine flying. Usually, when people train for flying, it is in fair weather conditions, but certain places have very specific, unique, weather conditions. In the North East especially, there are very strong winds and you experience a lot of down drafts. I have seen aircraft where the wings have broken, some have crashed literally on top of a hill.\u201d Capt. Wadia, also recalls a couple of very experienced, foreign pilots who were taken aback at seeing these airfields, common in the North East. \u201cI remember one of them saying, is this an airfield? It\u2019s a bloody football field,\u201d he ends.\n\nSound of Moo-sic\nThe hills are alive with the sound of moo-sic. Well, literally. Mumbai businessman, Kushal A remembers flying from the capital Kathmandu and landing at Chitwan in Nepal, years ago. Says Kushal, \u201cIt was a small plane, with six passengers and one air hostess. Our bags were put in the nose of the plane. When we were landing, I blinked in disbelief. It looked like a field, rather than an airfield. The plane landed and we deplaned to cows grazing all around us! They were kept out by ropes on the perimeter, so they could not come close to the aircraft. All of us had to take our luggage ourselves and walk to a single-storey, small building which was the airport. We could still see the cows as we walked. Soon, I saw the plane taking off, as the cows continued to graze. I laugh about it now, but, I remember some passengers looking a little shaken at the experience.\u201d\n\nFamous: The Muktinath Temple\n\nThe tragedy\nA plane, operated by Agni Air, with 21 people on board crashed after it was unable to land in a mountainous area of Nepal on Monday. Reports state that the plane was very close to the airport at Jomsom when it crashed. Six people have survived, including a Danish couple, the air-hostess and three Indians. Jomsom is the gateway to Muktinath Temple and is about a six hours' walk from the airport, in the Annapurna range", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 220860, "pt_loc": 28170258, "pt_shuffle_idx": 106553247, "doc_index_f": 167002711, "doc_index_l": 167002712, "offset_f": 430, "offset_l": 1196, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 244, "pt_injection_len": 273, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [852, 1197]} -{"pt_doc": "But there was one injured border guard.

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

He then let loose the destroying angels that brought death. They struck down all the first born people and animals that were living in Ham, another word for Egypt based on Genesis.

Photo by April Arnett.\n\nAlison Miller is a spunky little survivor. She just had brain surgery in August. She's only 12 years old, and she's blind. But you'd never guess it by watching her, or even by knowing her.\n\n\"She's smart and she amazes me every day,\" Alison's father Sean Miller said. \"If I had to go through what she has, I'd be mad at the world.\"\n\nNot Alison. Her last concern is herself, or her illness.\n\n\"She thinks too much about everyone else and not enough about herself,\" her mother Heather DeVille said.\n\nAlison has donated her hair twice to Locks of Love, a non-profit charity that accepts donations of human hair and money to make wigs for needy children with medical conditions that have caused them to lose their hair.\n\n\"One time I got 12 inches cut off, and the other time it was 14 inches,\" Alison said. \"It was like a horse tail.\"\n\nAlison's health initially became a concern when she was just two and starting to walk. Her parents noticed she was bumping into things far too frequently.\n\n\"She was running into stuff a lot,\" Sean said. \"So we took her to the eye doctor. We found out she had a brain tumor.\"\n\nFrom that point, their lives were never the same.\n\nAlison was eventually diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis, a neurological disease that carries a high risk of tumor formation, particularly in the brain. Alison's tumor is an Optic glioma.

Mount Kelud (aka Mount Kelut \u2013 I presume this is a transliteration issue as they\u2019re definitely talking about the same volcano) is the current focus of concern for the Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation, who have ordered an evacuation of 30,000 people living around its rumbling crater (pictured below in more tranquil times).\n\n\nOne of the reasons this particular volcano is considered to be so dangerous is its large crater lake. During an eruption, the water within is superheated and explosively ejected from the crater, and mixes with erupted volcanic ash to form devastating mud flows, or lahars. Lahars generated during an eruption in 1919 overwhelmed villages and farmland as far as 40 km from the crater, and killed more than 5000 people.\nSo here we have another example of people choosing to live within spitting distance of a malevolent geological entity, and refusing to budge even when it is rumbling threateningly at them. What\u2019s interesting in this case, though, is that the Indonesians have apparently been quite proactive in attempting to reduce the threat posed by this particular volcano. Following the 1919 eruption, they set out to cripple Mount Kelud\u2019s lahar-generating ability, by digging a series of tunnels that would drain the crater lake.\n\n\nAfter completion in 1926, this drainage system reduced the volume of the crater lake by over 90%, from 40 million cubic metres to less than 2 million. This impressive engineering feat undoubtedly saved countless lives during Kelud\u2019s next big eruption, in 1951: compared to 1919, the lahars produced were severely limited in scope, extending less than 5 km down the volcano\u2019s slopes. Sadly, it was a Phyrric victory: the drainage tunnels were damaged, and material excavated during the eruption had lowered the crater bottom, allowing 20 million cubic metres of water to accumulate inside by the time of the next large eruption in 1966. The resulting lahars were almost back to 1919 levels of destruction, and killed nearly 300 people. The Indonesian authorities learnt from that mistake, however, and by 1967 had dug a new, deeper tunnel, which allowed the crater lake to be drained to its present volume of 2.5 million cubic metres.\n\n\nIt\u2019s a small comfort to know that, thanks to some all-to-rare foresight, the people currently digging in their heels on Kelud\u2019s threatening slopes are a little bit safer than perhaps they would have been.\n1.

And of course, if. This isn't distracting, I hope. OK, let's read this together. Genesis 2:2, now Abraham goes to Egypt and he flees there because there's a famine. \u201cAnd he says to Sarah, his wife, she is my sister.\u201d Was she his sister? She was half, his sister. But if you're telling a half-truth what's the other half? You know, I can kind of feel this thing pulling my nose off to the left. Genesis 26:7, \u201cThen the men of the place asked about his wife, and he said, she's my sister.\u201d \u201cHow you doin' sis?\u201d\n\nGrabs her by the head and gives her a noogie. Trying to act like she\u2019s; she was his wife. A half-truth. It's not the only time in the Bible that we see that happening. You know, because of Abraham's bad example, what did his son Isaac later do when he fled to Egypt? Same thing. He said, \u201cRebecca, she's my sister.\u201d Why did he do it? Why did Abraham lie about Sarah? He was afraid. He was afraid they were going to take his wife. Why did Isaac lie? He was also afraid. \u201cShe's my sister.\u201d Another example where people are less than honest because they\u2019re afraid. Now these are God's people. Abraham, David. Genesis 18:12, \u201cTherefore Sarah laughed within herself,\u201d now you remember the context of this story. Abraham is sitting outside the tent, under a tree.\n\nHe's talking to the Lord, Himself, who was with two angels. The angels are on their way to Sodom to execute judgment on the city. And the Lord is talking to Abraham, and He gives him the promise that even though Abraham had lost faith and had already taken another wife, Hagar, and he had a son. He said, \u201cNo no. That\u2019s not him. Sarah, your wife, is going to have a child.\u201d Sarah is pushing 90 years of age at this point. So Sarah hears this and she laughs within herself. She doesn't laugh out loud. \u201cSaying, after I've grown old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?\u201d She giggles thinking about this. But she doesn't do it out loud. And the Lord says to Abraham. The Lord and Abraham are talking outside the tent. \u201cWhy did Sarah laugh, saying, surely, I will bear a child since I am old?\n\nIs anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time, I will return to you according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. But Sarah denied it saying, I did not laugh. For she was afraid. And he said, No, but you did laugh.\u201d Was she telling the truth? Did she laugh out loud? No. Where did she laugh? In her heart. And she said, \u201cI didn't laugh.\u201d And God said, \u201cYou did laugh.\u201d How could God say that? What was God judging by? The outward act or the inward thought? So where does hypocrisy come from? When we are saying one thing that technically might be true, but in our heart we're communicating something that isn't true, is it truth? Doesn't the Lord say that it's the inside of the cup that needs cleansing? In our hearts sometimes we believe one thing, and with our mouths, we say another that might technically be accurate.\n\nI've done it, friends. And I've been convicted that it\u2019s wrong. God wants us to be honest in our hearts. Peter, he is exhibit A in hypocrite. Now that's good news for you and me because if there's hope for Peter, there's hope for you and me. Amen? Matthew 26:34-35, \u201cAnd Jesus said unto him, verily I say unto thee, this night before the cock crows thou will deny me three times,\u201d thrice. \u201cAnd Peter said to Him, though I should die with thee, yet I will not deny thee. Likewise, said also all the disciples.\u201d Now, here's the question. Was Peter sincere? I think when he made that statement he really believed that he was willing to die for the Lord. And one reason, I know that is later when the soldiers did come and they began to take Jesus to tie Him up, who pulled out a sword? It was Peter, to fight. [end side one]\n\n\u2026 launched the attack himself. But he didn't know his own heart. He didn't think he was capable of denying the Lord because he thought he was willing to die for Him. You know, Peter would have been willing to die in battle, but not from ridicule. He didn't know his weakness. Matthew 26:74, after they began to mock Jesus, and He was not popular any more, then the servants there in the temple began to say, \u201cAren't you a Galilean? You\u2019re one of His disciples. Ha! Look what\u2019s happening. You believed He was the Messiah?\u201d And he could not bear the ridicule. And he began, Matthew 26:74, \u201cHe began to curse, and to swear saying, I do not know the man. And immediately the rooster crowed, and Peter remembered the words of Jesus, who had said to him, \"Before the rooster crows, you'll deny me three times.\" So he went out and he wept bitterly. Why did Peter lie? He was afraid. He was afraid.\n\nYou know, I guess part of the secret of overcoming hypocrisy is overcoming fear. The Lord tells us, \u201cGreat peace have they that love thy law. Nothing will offend them. Perfect love casts out fear.\u201d When you love the Lord perfectly; you know, there's something very liberating about not being worried about what people think about you. Being able to be honest and not being afraid of reprisals or ridicule, very liberating, great peace. It's not the only time that Peter played the part of the hypocrite. Galatians 2, we haven't talked about this very much. You still with me? No, I'm losing you. I'm going to put on another mask. This is typical. This is your Lone Ranger variety. Doesn't cover the whole face, just the eyes. Yeah, I can see. Galatians 2, are you with me? Remember, the word hypocrite means mask, ok? Galatians 2:11-13, \u201cNow when Peter had come to Antioch I withstood him to his face because he was to be blamed. For before certain men came from James, he would eat with the Gentiles. But when they came, he withdrew and he separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.\u201d\n\nWhy did he separate himself? He was afraid again. Fearing those, who were those of the circumcision? Those are the Jews. \u201cAnd the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.\u201d You know what this tells us about hypocrisy? It's contagious. It's epidemic, actually. You know what happened here? You're not able to listen to me with this on, are you? You know what happened here? Even in the time of the apostles there was contention among the Christians whether or not the new converts had to participate in the Jewish customs and holidays, and to what extent. Have you read Acts 15, where they went to Jerusalem, and they said, \u201cWhat are we supposed to tell the Gentiles to do?\u201d And they said, \u201cOK, command them not to eat blood or things strangled. Abstain from fornication, things offered to idols.\u201d Sort of gave them four basics that they were confused on.

Meaning, Jesus never told him that was OK. But what does it mean? While Peter is pondering the vision some Gentiles came from Cornelius\u2019 house because an angel had told Cornelius to go get Peter. And Peter finally realizes, I'm supposed to go talk to the Gentiles. I'm not supposed to call the Gentiles unclean.\u201d He goes to Cornelius\u2019 house.

He mounted her, but instead of furiously humping as he normally would do, he used his recently learned technique and slowly and carefully, sought the entrance to her cunt. He needed no outside help this time. The point of his cock found the engaging entrance and, by shuffling forward between her parted knees, eased his length into the depths of the woman.\n\nHe fucked her slowly, feeling his cock slid into her, getting deeper each time. He felt the end nudge her cervix and then open the neck of her womb on the next slow thrust. Her body accepted the intrusion willingly and sucked hungrily at him. His momentum carried him further into the woman until his knot was stretching her outer lips. He thrust gently for a few times, making sure of his aim and her readiness to accept him, then, when he was absolutely certain of his positioning, he gave one huge, powerful lunge.\nHer cervix opened like a rose bud might and allowed him to pass into her very deepest places. His knot passed her lips and was engulfed inside her. He pulled back a little, but not enough to come out, then slowly, he pushed forward again, lifting a leg and burying him self to her very depths. Her muscles clamped him and encircled the gap between his knot and balls, clamping him and making sure he was not going to get away. It was the signal to both of them that this was it. In one of those magical moments, when two beings are completely in tune, they thrust together. She pushed back on him while he drove himself into her cunt in a frenzy of mutual lust.\n\nHe grasped her neck between his teeth at the base of her spine where neck and skull join while she reached behind her and grabbed his legs. The combination of their respective acts took them to a natural, mutual climax. She shuddered and gushed her come while he gave one last final thrust and drove further than he had before. His hot semen flooded her body and mingled with her own juices. In unison, they sighed and relaxed. He was stuck firmly in her body and hardly had the strength left to support him self. She was little better off, but managed to keep them upright.\n\nAfter some ten minutes had passed he managed to withdraw. Her head hung in exhaustion, hair hanging limp and damp from sweat. Her pussy clenched as he vacated her, making a little sucking sound. Come dribbled from between her swollen and ravaged lips, which he quickly cleaned up, producing a shiver of reaction from her. Sated, they fell into a heap together, while the onlookers silently filed out of the room to leave them in peace. He had never had a fuck the like of that before. At the same time, he felt almost human, but all canine in the same moment. Almost human in the sense that he had made a connection with this woman and canine in the manner of which he had taken her. She had similar thoughts, but in reverse. She felt canine, a bitch in heat and belonging to this magnificent animal, a little human in the knowledge that she could engineer this meeting of kindred lustful soul in the future.\n\nIt would be hard for him to return to the half-hearted fucks he managed with his mistress. Having experienced this totally overwhelming event, nothing would ever satisfy him again like she did. On her part, she knew she would not be going home to her husband. She was going to make a bid for the dog and see if she could have him for herself for good and all.\n\n\n2009-10-19 21:48:40\ntaking the knot is the best part. well that and cumming in the womb\n\nAnonymous readerReport\n\n2009-07-22 00:37:52\nwow love your stories\n\nAnonymous readerReport\n\n2009-04-05 19:58:21\nExcellent story!!!

Plus, with dual-motion handlebars, you can exercise your arms just as much as your legs. The power incline and cushioned pedals enhance the experience even more, making for a great fit for practically anyone.\n\nIs the Nordictrack Freestride best for you?\n\nThe Nordictrack Freestride is so useful because it's essentially 3 machines in 1. It's an elliptical, treadmill, and stair climber. You can alter the muscle emphasis mid-workout thanks to the simple stride controls. You have all the power and can target different muscle groups each time.\n\nIn addition to smooth motions, the Freestride also comes with an abundance of bonuses. It comes with Bluetooth compatibility and built-in speakers. Therefore, you can connect your MP3 player with the elliptical and listen to your playlists directly through the machine. A cup holder, cushioned pedals, and 35 preset programs are just the icing on the cake.\n\nConsider Nordictrack Freestride if...\n\n \u2022 You need low-impact workouts. If you suffer from knee or back problems, then you want a machine that goes easy on all your joints. As an elliptical, this device operates much more smoothly than your average treadmill.\n \u2022 You want three machines in one. The Nordictrack Freestride is more than a simple elliptical. You can also adjust the settings to make it a treadmill and stair climber. You can add three machines to your home gym for the price of one.\n \u2022 You like variety in your exercises. With 35 built-in programs and 24 resistance levels, there are plenty of ways for you to work up a sweat.\n\nAvoid Nordictrack Freestride if...\n\n \u2022 You want greater resistance. This machine comes with a 20-pound flywheel. It's great for beginners, but experts may desire something more intense.\n \u2022 You want a bike. While this machine can do a lot, it's not suitable for people who want to bring a stationary bike into their home.\n \u2022 You're on a budget.

He felt the end nudge her cervix and then open the neck of her womb on the next slow thrust. Her body accepted the intrusion willingly and sucked hungrily at him. His momentum carried him further into the woman until his knot was stretching her outer lips. He thrust gently for a few times, making sure of his aim and her readiness to accept him, then, when he was absolutely certain of his positioning, he gave one huge, powerful lunge.\nHer cervix opened like a rose bud might and allowed him to pass into her very deepest places. His knot passed her lips and was engulfed inside her. He pulled back a little, but not enough to come out, then slowly, he pushed forward again, lifting a leg and burying him self to her very depths. Her muscles clamped him and encircled the gap between his knot and balls, clamping him and making sure he was not going to get away. It was the signal to both of them that this was it. In one of those magical moments, when two beings are completely in tune, they thrust together. She pushed back on him while he drove himself into her cunt in a frenzy of mutual lust.\n\nHe grasped her neck between his teeth at the base of her spine where neck and skull join while she reached behind her and grabbed his legs. The combination of their respective acts took them to a natural, mutual climax. She shuddered and gushed her come while he gave one last final thrust and drove further than he had before. His hot semen flooded her body and mingled with her own juices. In unison, they sighed and relaxed. He was stuck firmly in her body and hardly had the strength left to support him self. She was little better off, but managed to keep them upright.\n\nAfter some ten minutes had passed he managed to withdraw. Her head hung in exhaustion, hair hanging limp and damp from sweat. Her pussy clenched as he vacated her, making a little sucking sound. Come dribbled from between her swollen and ravaged lips, which he quickly cleaned up, producing a shiver of reaction from her. Sated, they fell into a heap together, while the onlookers silently filed out of the room to leave them in peace. He had never had a fuck the like of that before. At the same time, he felt almost human, but all canine in the same moment. Almost human in the sense that he had made a connection with this woman and canine in the manner of which he had taken her. She had similar thoughts, but in reverse. She felt canine, a bitch in heat and belonging to this magnificent animal, a little human in the knowledge that she could engineer this meeting of kindred lustful soul in the future.\n\nIt would be hard for him to return to the half-hearted fucks he managed with his mistress. Having experienced this totally overwhelming event, nothing would ever satisfy him again like she did. On her part, she knew she would not be going home to her husband. She was going to make a bid for the dog and see if she could have him for herself for good and all.\n\n\n2009-10-19 21:48:40\ntaking the knot is the best part. well that and cumming in the womb\n\nAnonymous readerReport\n\n2009-07-22 00:37:52\nwow love your stories\n\nAnonymous readerReport\n\n2009-04-05 19:58:21\nExcellent story!!!

Plus, with dual-motion handlebars, you can exercise your arms just as much as your legs. The power incline and cushioned pedals enhance the experience even more, making for a great fit for practically anyone.\n\nIs the Nordictrack Freestride best for you?\n\nThe Nordictrack Freestride is so useful because it's essentially 3 machines in 1. It's an elliptical, treadmill, and stair climber. You can alter the muscle emphasis mid-workout thanks to the simple stride controls. You have all the power and can target different muscle groups each time.\n\nIn addition to smooth motions, the Freestride also comes with an abundance of bonuses. It comes with Bluetooth compatibility and built-in speakers. Therefore, you can connect your MP3 player with the elliptical and listen to your playlists directly through the machine. A cup holder, cushioned pedals, and 35 preset programs are just the icing on the cake.\n\nConsider Nordictrack Freestride if...\n\n \u2022 You need low-impact workouts. If you suffer from knee or back problems, then you want a machine that goes easy on all your joints. As an elliptical, this device operates much more smoothly than your average treadmill.\n \u2022 You want three machines in one. The Nordictrack Freestride is more than a simple elliptical. You can also adjust the settings to make it a treadmill and stair climber. You can add three machines to your home gym for the price of one.\n \u2022 You like variety in your exercises. With 35 built-in programs and 24 resistance levels, there are plenty of ways for you to work up a sweat.\n\nAvoid Nordictrack Freestride if...\n\n \u2022 You want greater resistance. This machine comes with a 20-pound flywheel. It's great for beginners, but experts may desire something more intense.\n \u2022 You want a bike. While this machine can do a lot, it's not suitable for people who want to bring a stationary bike into their home.\n \u2022 You're on a budget. Considering all the perks this machine comes with, it should come as no surprise to hear it costs a decent amount of cash. Be prepared to spend quite a bit if you want it.\n\nNordictrack Freestride pros & cons\n\n\n \u2022 Bluetooth audio\n \u2022 iFit compatibility\n \u2022 Moving handlebars\n \u2022 Cushioned pedals\n \u2022 Power incline\n\n\n \u2022 Expensive\n \u2022 Lightweight flywheel\n\nConstruction and design\n\n \u2022 Pedals: The pedals on this elliptical come with cushioning to help make every stride feel comfortable.\n \u2022 Handlebars: The handlebars move to give you a full-body workout, so you exercise your arms as well as your legs.\n \u2022 Console: The console boasts a 10-inch HD screen that's great for watching trainer-led workouts from your iFit membership.\n \u2022 Built", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 229040, "pt_loc": 40236502, "pt_shuffle_idx": 45192668, "doc_index_f": 70839524, "doc_index_l": 70839525, "offset_f": 2235, "offset_l": 675, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 185, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [1373, 676]} -{"pt_doc": "organizations that considerably hamper their skill to compete successfully on the market.

Published on July 7, 2011 - 2:56 am (1858 views \u2014 408 words)\n\nFor the last decade, heart disease and diabetes were considered as leading causes of mortality in many countries. Decades ago, these health problems were countered through nutrition by changing the food pyramid. Nothing has changed; in fact, the leading cause of mortality worldwide is still attributed to various heart conditions such as heart attack and coronary heart diseases. The lesson to be learned here is choosing the right diet to avoid such serious health problems. Determining fat burning foods is not just a question, but a solution to a healthy lifestyle. For many decades in the past, people wrongly believed that obesity is healthy that led to raising overweight children. Today, people are much aware of the health risks presented by obesity that makes them seek what are fat burning foods. If you want to further understand what fat burning foods are, this article would assist you by explaining how such food facilitate weight loss. Read the following:\n\n1. Beverages such as green tea and coffee. What are fat burning foods includes such beverages since they could effectively heighten the body's metabolism. Coffee is widely-known as a thermogenic substance that assists weight loss by increasing the metabolism. Green tea, which contains epigallocatechin gallate (ECGC), can provide the same effect to the body. As a matter of fact, caffeine and green tea extract are common fat-loss supplements ingredients.\n\n2. Lean Meat. Some types of lean meat include chicken and turkey. Lean cuts of pork as well as beef can be consumed by people who need to lose weight. In most cases, the protein content in what are fat burning foods are likely high since this helps people feel full to minimize cravings. Protein curbs appetite and makes the metabolism to work harder resulting to weight loss.\n\n3. Spices. This pertains to chilis which contain capsaicin. Capsaicin is found on the coating of the white chili seeds. Today, capsaicin is being tapped by pharmaceuticals for many medical purposes. When it comes to fat loss, it can raise metabolism for up to three hours after eating food with chili. Chili also regulates the flow of blood sugar which can help suppress appetite for some hours after eating by making you feel full.\n\nBeing able to identify what are fat burning foods can really be useful in preparing dishes that can help you reach your ideal weight. It is definitely a great experience to enjoy eating at the same time shed pounds.<|endoftext|>Wish I'd said that!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday, April 12, 2009\n\nReal-world Heroes\n\nThe Year of our Lord 2009 has so far been marked with heroism, at a time when the American people are fed up with thieves, con artists and selfserving politicians (as if there is a difference) and in dire need of some sort of unselfishness.\n\nFirst was the dramatic Hudson River crash landing by Capt. \"Sully\" Sullenberger in January. Sully's clam, coolheaded professionalism, aided by God's grace, saved the lives of 155 people and then all but hid from an admiring public.\n\nNext was the episode with an American commerce ship successfully resisting an attack by Somali pirates; the crew who fought off well-armed intruders, the valiant captain who offered himself in trade for the release of his crew, and the Navy personnel -- especially the SEAL snipers who rescued Captain Richard Phillips with three clean head shots at three different targets on a bobbing lifeboat (with one pirate only visible through a window) in worsening weather. America has always been graced with heroes, most of whom would not call themselves that, and such is the character which sets some folks apart from the rest.\n\nI'll (ugh...this is tough) give the President credit for allowing, if not ordering, the aggressive response to the situation. Frankly, I was concerned he was going to do a Carter and lead to yet another international embarrassment. But, hey, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.\n\nAs you might expect, though, the liberal pundits are still clueless. Consider MSNBCs Chris Matthews (you know, the guy who got a \"thrill\" up his leg over Obama during the campaign), who thinks it was just dumb luck that 3 SEALS made 3 simultaneous head shots from a ship onto a small boat bobbing in the water more than 150 feet away, With the hostage almost directly in the line of fire. Yeah, right; just luck. NOT!\n\nTea, anyone? Another group of heroes I want to bring attention to is...hundreds of thousands of American people who get it. The Tax Day Tea Parties showed that more and more folks understand the country is changing for the worse, and are getting their game face on and doing something about it. At hundreds of rallies around the United States, organized by ordinary citizens, good people got together to show their willingness to participate, to express their frustration and fears, and to network with one another to correct the problems. The best part is that it was Americans of nearly every political bent: Republicans, Democrates, libertarians, independents and undecideds who want their country back. And -- unlike most liberal demonstrations -- every event was marked by a virtual absence of rude, crude or violent behavior.

Published on July 7, 2011 - 2:56 am (1858 views \u2014 408 words)\n\nFor the last decade, heart disease and diabetes were considered as leading causes of mortality in many countries. Decades ago, these health problems were countered through nutrition by changing the food pyramid. Nothing has changed; in fact, the leading cause of mortality worldwide is still attributed to various heart conditions such as heart attack and coronary heart diseases. The lesson to be learned here is choosing the right diet to avoid such serious health problems. Determining fat burning foods is not just a question, but a solution to a healthy lifestyle. For many decades in the past, people wrongly believed that obesity is healthy that led to raising overweight children. Today, people are much aware of the health risks presented by obesity that makes them seek what are fat burning foods. If you want to further understand what fat burning foods are, this article would assist you by explaining how such food facilitate weight loss. Read the following:\n\n1. Beverages such as green tea and coffee. What are fat burning foods includes such beverages since they could effectively heighten the body's metabolism. Coffee is widely-known as a thermogenic substance that assists weight loss by increasing the metabolism. Green tea, which contains epigallocatechin gallate (ECGC), can provide the same effect to the body. As a matter of fact, caffeine and green tea extract are common fat-loss supplements ingredients.\n\n2. Lean Meat. Some types of lean meat include chicken and turkey. Lean cuts of pork as well as beef can be consumed by people who need to lose weight. In most cases, the protein content in what are fat burning foods are likely high since this helps people feel full to minimize cravings. Protein curbs appetite and makes the metabolism to work harder resulting to weight loss.\n\n3. Spices. This pertains to chilis which contain capsaicin. Capsaicin is found on the coating of the white chili seeds. Today, capsaicin is being tapped by pharmaceuticals for many medical purposes. When it comes to fat loss, it can raise metabolism for up to three hours after eating food with chili. Chili also regulates the flow of blood sugar which can help suppress appetite for some hours after eating by making you feel full.\n\nBeing able to identify what are fat burning foods can really be useful in preparing dishes that can help you reach your ideal weight. It is definitely a great experience to enjoy eating at the same time shed pounds.<|endoftext|>Wish I'd said that!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday, April 12, 2009\n\nReal-world Heroes\n\nThe Year of our Lord 2009 has so far been marked with heroism, at a time when the American people are fed up with thieves, con artists and selfserving politicians (as if there is a difference) and in dire need of some sort of unselfishness.\n\nFirst was the dramatic Hudson River crash landing by Capt. \"Sully\" Sullenberger in January. Sully's clam, coolheaded professionalism, aided by God's grace, saved the lives of 155 people and then all but hid from an admiring public.\n\nNext was the episode with an American commerce ship successfully resisting an attack by Somali pirates; the crew who fought off well-armed intruders, the valiant captain who offered himself in trade for the release of his crew, and the Navy personnel -- especially the SEAL snipers who rescued Captain Richard Phillips with three clean head shots at three different targets on a bobbing lifeboat (with one pirate only visible through a window) in worsening weather. America has always been graced with heroes, most of whom would not call themselves that, and such is the character which sets some folks apart from the rest.\n\nI'll (ugh...this is tough) give the President credit for allowing, if not ordering, the aggressive response to the situation. Frankly, I was concerned he was going to do a Carter and lead to yet another international embarrassment. But, hey, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.\n\nAs you might expect, though, the liberal pundits are still clueless. Consider MSNBCs Chris Matthews (you know, the guy who got a \"thrill\" up his leg over Obama during the campaign), who thinks it was just dumb luck that 3 SEALS made 3 simultaneous head shots from a ship onto a small boat bobbing in the water more than 150 feet away, With the hostage almost directly in the line of fire. Yeah, right; just luck. NOT!\n\nTea, anyone? Another group of heroes I want to bring attention to is...hundreds of thousands of American people who get it. The Tax Day Tea Parties showed that more and more folks understand the country is changing for the worse, and are getting their game face on and doing something about it. At hundreds of rallies around the United States, organized by ordinary citizens, good people got together to show their willingness to participate, to express their frustration and fears, and to network with one another to correct the problems. The best part is that it was Americans of nearly every political bent: Republicans, Democrates, libertarians, independents and undecideds who want their country back. And -- unlike most liberal demonstrations -- every event was marked by a virtual absence of rude, crude or violent behavior. While they were at times loud, they were peaceful, respectful and enjoyable, in many cases even picking up their own litter afterward. It was truly the \"God blessed\" part of America, and a refreshing reminder of the character of those who founded this country.\n\nWhile most politicians are part of the problem, a few are starting to speak out like real leaders instead of party hacks. Texas Governor Rick Perry recently gave a press conference where he reasserted States' Rights under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, berating the Obama malAdministration for trying to force states to accept 'stimulus' handouts, which come with a steep price tag.\n\nAs you might expect, most of the mainstream media didn't get it, and as they typically do, chose to insult the intelligence of the people standing up for what America used to stand for.\n\nWho's listening to ya?

Anyone who recalls the tragedies of Waco and Ruby Ridge should understand why some Americans might fear their government, but that doesn't automatically mean anyone who expresses concern should have a target painted on them.\n\nFrankly, there probably wouldn't be any need for \"right-wing extremists\" or Tea Parties if our leaders weren't leading us headlong into the ash heap of history for their own agrandizement. Secondly, according to Judge Andrew Napolitano (no relation; he's a legal analyst for Fox News) the report is poorly written, vague in its sources, and scary in its ramifications.\n\nThe Wow factor. I want to mention one more hero: not the type that risks life and limb or changes the world, but one grandma-type British lady who overcame a heavy presupposition of \"ordinaryness\" and went on to astound a very cynical audience with her hidden singing talent. I'd like to introduce you to Susan Boyle. Watch the judges' (and the audience's) reaction.<|endoftext|>Dispute Management Firm Chargeback Raises $6.6M To Accelerate Platform Automation\n\neCommerce payment\n\nRetail dispute management system\u00a0Chargeback\u00a0announced Monday (June 8) that it has closed a $6.6 million Series A1 funding round.\n\nChargeback said the funding will accelerate its growth and ability to help online and offline retailers decrease credit card disputes, achieve higher win rates and retain more revenue", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 232312, "pt_loc": 1785362, "pt_shuffle_idx": 80620699, "doc_index_f": 126379954, "doc_index_l": 126379957, "offset_f": 46, "offset_l": 93, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 257, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [66, 545, 1344, 94]} -{"pt_doc": "previous cabinet.\nThe announcement sparked significant protests from universities, student organizations and labor unions.

Thus comparing with neighboring stations is more difficult. I do not know what the situation is in the UK, but sun shine duration is not high on the priority list and unfortunately often not homogenized.\n\n 1. Thanks for that insight, Victor.\n\n While we're on the subject, I remember being amused when in the UK, the weather announcers talked of it being \"partly sunny\". Here we would never get that. Sunshine is assumed as the norm, but it may be \"partly cloudy\" or even \"overcast\" :D\n\n 2. :) It is really surprising that living in such a hot climate, you have such a government.

So we, we have done -- this one particular operation, to say that that couldn\u2019t have done, done -- it was done from the outside, for heaven\u2019s sakes.\n\nI can't believe Democrats are not embarrassed by this guy. He's like an Admiral Stockdale in the advanced stages of dementia or something (or myself after a few beers.)\n\nIt does beg another question, though. What is the \"timetable\" for pulling out or troops from Japan? Or Germany? Or Korea? Shouldn't we have one of those by now?\n\nThose crazy Swiss\n\nIt's a well-known but inconvenient fact among liberal American Europhiles that Switzerland, one of the continent's safest countries, also has the highest rate of gun ownership. Now I learn from Adam that Switzerland's extraordinarily low unemployment rate (and we're talking really low -- 3.8%) occurs in a country that has no minimum wage. Heh, no wonder they don't want to join the EU.\n\nSwitzerland's an interesting place.

Did you ever have that debate with anyone? It's fun, isn't it? It's also pointless, since such things are inherently subjective and impossible to quantify.\n\nI've found that debates such as this one tend to follow a certain pattern:\n\nLiberal: Progressives don't engage in vile hateful rhetoric like conservatives do.\nConservative: Of course they do.\nLiberal: Oh really? Give me one example of left-wing hate speech that's as bad as what Ann Coulter said!\n\nThe remainder of the debate is a tedious, repetitive exercise in which the liberal conjures up excuses for disqualifying every single example the conservative provides.\n\n \u2022 Ted Rall doesn't count because he's not as famous as Ann Coulter.\n \u2022 Ward Churhill doesn't count because he's an academic (or because he's got a ponytail, or because he pretends to be an Indian, or whatever. Anyway, he doesn't count.)\n \u2022 Randi Rhodes fantasizing about assassinating the president doesn't count because she doesn't shill for a political party the way Sean Hannity does.\n \u2022 Kos doesn't count because he made that remark two years ago.

There's not a single example of left-wing hate speech to be found anywhere!\n\nOf course they should really reframe the terms of the argument. It's not that \"liberals are nicer.\" Rather, it's that famous liberals who aren't academics or filmmakers or faux Indians or entertainers and who do shill for the Democratic party and aren't anonymous or Scottish are nicer than Ann Coulter... lately.\n\n\nI guess we can stop defeding the Dixie Chicks' patriotism\n\nDespite my political leanings, I've frequently defended the Dixie Chicks against those who questioned their patriotism. I guess I can officially stand down now. The Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines questions whether patriotism is even a virtue.\n\n\nLet's face it, folks. The Sean Hannities of the world were right on this one. I was wrong. Sean, lots of people owe you an apology. I'll extend mine to you, because it's the only one you're likely to get.\n\nWhen breaking news happens...\n\n...you read about it here days later.\n\nSorry, I would've reported on Daryl Hannah's Julia Butterfly Hill act earlier, but I spent several days trying to figure out how I could work in a joke about Jackson Browne busting her lip for finding her in a tree. I gave up.\n\nSo anyway, Daryl Hannah was arrested in a tree.\n\nJune 16, 2006\n\nThe Hudson ruling\n\nI'm ill-equipped to comment on the legalities of the recent Supreme Court ruling on no-knock searches (I know, when does that ever stop me?) Still, no matter what judicial reasoning went into deciding Hudson, I can safely say that I'm unhappy with the outcome.\n\nFirst, just to be clear, this is not about warrantless searches. It's about whether warrants have to be served politely. I'm aware of no such constitutional guarantee, but I do think that as a matter of police etiquette, knocking is far more desirable than not.\n\nGranted, there are certain circumstances in which the police must maintain the element of surprise. Imagine, for example, raiding a house in which violent, armed resistance is expected -- a safe house full of heavily armed drug dealers, or militant terrorists, for example. There's no sense in giving them time to pick up their Glocks or AK's and assume battle positions.\n\nNevertheless, I worry about the implications of this ruling for normal, garden-variety police searches. My prediction? More police officers will be shot. Many people, if awakened in the night by people forcibly and violently entering their homes, are going to reach for their guns. I can't say I blame them. I wish the case of Cory Maye had better informed this ruling. I have a bad feeling that we might see more Cory Mayes in the post-Hudson future.\n\nA bittersweet moment\n\nOn the one hand, it's with a wistful sense of nostalgia that I note that I'm no longer the top Google hit for \"Corzine sucks.\" I've lapsed into second place.\n\nOn the other hand, that might be appropriate. I'm beginning to think electing him governor wasn't such a bad idea after all.\n\nRepublicans are getting a \"two-fer\" from Jon Corzine's decision to leave the Senate for New Jersey's governor's mansion last year. First, as a sitting Senator with a willingness to spend enormous sums of his personal wealth, Mr. Corzine would have been a very difficult incumbent for Republicans to unseat. In his win in 2000, Mr. Corzine outspent his opponent Bob Franks $63 million to $6 million.\n\nSecond, as governor, Mr. Corzine has done his best to reenact the politically disastrous politics of the Florio administration. Like Gov. Jim Florio", "base_doc": "friends over the years, but for three decades now I've been mystified over the conversation captured in \"Undercover Angel.\"\n\nShe said, \"What?\" I said, \"Ooh-ooh-ooh, whee.\"\nShe said, \"All right!\" I said, \"Get next to me.\"\nShe said, \"All right!\" I said, \"Love me, love me, love me!\"\n\n\nThe Jack Murtha follies\n\nAnti-war Democrats luuuuuuuuv Jack Murtha.

Really, are you so desperate that you have to dig back that far?\n \u2022 Michael Moore doesn't count because he's a filmmaker, and not enmeshed in the political process (skybox seating at the DNC notwithstanding.)\n \u2022 Democratic Underground posters don't count because they're anonymous nobodies.\n \u2022 Alan Hevesi doesn't count because he was joking.\n \u2022 Kanye West doesn't count because he's a musician.\n \u2022 George Galloway doesn't count because he's not American.\n\nOn and on it goes, and eventually you learn that the liberals are right. There's not a single example of left-wing hate speech to be found anywhere!\n\nOf course they should really reframe the terms of the argument. It's not that \"liberals are nicer.\" Rather, it's that famous liberals who aren't academics or filmmakers or faux Indians or entertainers and who do shill for the Democratic party and aren't anonymous or Scottish are nicer than Ann Coulter... lately.\n\n\nI guess we can stop defeding the Dixie Chicks' patriotism\n\nDespite my political leanings, I've frequently defended the Dixie Chicks against those who questioned their patriotism. I guess I can officially stand down now. The Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines questions whether patriotism is even a virtue.\n\n\nLet's face it, folks. The Sean Hannities of the world were right on this one. I was wrong. Sean, lots of people owe you an apology. I'll extend mine to you, because it's the only one you're likely to get.\n\nWhen breaking news happens...\n\n...you read about it here days later.\n\nSorry, I would've reported on Daryl Hannah's Julia Butterfly Hill act earlier, but I spent several days trying to figure out how I could work in a joke about Jackson Browne busting her lip for finding her in a tree. I gave up.\n\nSo anyway, Daryl Hannah was arrested in a tree.\n\nJune 16, 2006\n\nThe Hudson ruling\n\nI'm ill-equipped to comment on the legalities of the recent Supreme Court ruling on no-knock searches (I know, when does that ever stop me?) Still, no matter what judicial reasoning went into deciding Hudson, I can safely say that I'm unhappy with the outcome.\n\nFirst, just to be clear, this is not about warrantless searches. It's about whether warrants have to be served politely. I'm aware of no such constitutional guarantee, but I do think that as a matter of police etiquette, knocking is far more desirable than not.\n\nGranted, there are certain circumstances in which the police must maintain the element of surprise. Imagine, for example, raiding a house in which violent, armed resistance is expected -- a safe house full of heavily armed drug dealers, or militant terrorists, for example. There's no sense in giving them time to pick up their Glocks or AK's and assume battle positions.\n\nNevertheless, I worry about the implications of this ruling for normal, garden-variety police searches. My prediction? More police officers will be shot. Many people, if awakened in the night by people forcibly and violently entering their homes, are going to reach for their guns. I can't say I blame them. I wish the case of Cory Maye had better informed this ruling. I have a bad feeling that we might see more Cory Mayes in the post-Hudson future.\n\nA bittersweet moment\n\nOn the one hand, it's with a wistful sense of nostalgia that I note that I'm no longer the top Google hit for \"Corzine sucks.\" I've lapsed into second place.\n\nOn the other hand, that might be appropriate. I'm beginning to think electing him governor wasn't such a bad idea after all.\n\nRepublicans are getting a \"two-fer\" from Jon Corzine's decision to leave the Senate for New Jersey's governor's mansion last year. First, as a sitting Senator with a willingness to spend enormous sums of his personal wealth, Mr. Corzine would have been a very difficult incumbent for Republicans to unseat. In his win in 2000, Mr. Corzine outspent his opponent Bob Franks $63 million to $6 million.\n\nSecond, as governor, Mr. Corzine has done his best to reenact the politically disastrous politics of the Florio administration. Like Gov. Jim Florio in 1989, Mr. Corzine has called for higher state taxes, causing his approval ratings to plummet. In 1990, this led to a political environment where the relatively unknown Christie Todd Whitman came within three points (50%-47%) of beating incumbent Senator Bill Bradley -- despite the fact that she was outspent by a margin of 15 to one.\nWhile President Bush's woes and Republican angst on Capitol Hill are dominating most of the national headlines, the political environment may be quietly shaping up for Republicans to pick up a Senate seat in the blue state of New Jersey.\n\nOh well, the New Jersey Democrats wanted this tax-hungry billionaire as their governor, and now they've got him. Careful what you ask for, as the saying goes.\n\nJune 15, 2006\n\nIf I were Karl Rove...\n\nI think I'd wait until the White House front lawn was full of reports for some reason or another, and then I'd recruit a couple of federal marshals to handcuff me and frog-march me across the lawn like this:\n\nI'd be looking all panicked and", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 237220, "pt_loc": 11696667, "pt_shuffle_idx": 224757502, "doc_index_f": 352321442, "doc_index_l": 352321442, "offset_f": 4528, "offset_l": 6576, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 233, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": " Indoor hollows, undisturbed by children.\n\nWhatever you can afford: you write a cheque.

In Menion's time the sword was merely a regular sword, one that had been a long-standing family heirloom.\n\nSeventy years later, Menion's great-grandson Rone Leah carried the sword when he accompanied Brin Ohmsford on Allanon's quest to destroy the Ildatch. Rone didn't trust the Druid and what he intended with Brin, and after repeated arguments between the Druid and the Highlander Allanon decided to make Rone his equal as Brin's protector. Allanon had Rone dip the blade of the sword into the waters of the Hadeshorn, changing its color to a deep black and infusing it with the magic of the lake. Allanon then sealed the magic into the sword using his Druid fire, creating a weapon that could cut through magic.\n\nRone was able to use the sword successfully, but it soon became apparent that the sword, while a powerful talisman, drew power from its user, who would become more dependent on it with every use. Rone became obsessed with recovering the sword when it was lost, even leaving Brin to fend for herself in the Wolfsktaag Mountains when he recovered the sword from a tribe of Spider Gnomes.\n\nAfter the Ildatch was destroyed, the sword remained in the Leah family, its magic going dormant. However, the power came alive centuries later when Morgan Leah used it against a Shadowen that had come upon him, Par Ohmsford, and Coll Ohmsford. When Morgan later used the sword to break down a magically sealed door down in the Pit in Tyrsis to escape from a horde of Shadowen, the sword shattered, leaving only a foot-long remnant attached to the hilt. Due to his connection to the sword, Morgan himself felt broken and bereft, but he discovered there was still magic in the broken sword, which he used to kill Teel, a Shadowen, and to injure Uhl Belk, the Stone King. The sword was restored in its entirety by the King of the Silver River's daughter Quickening, who was in love with Morgan, and the Highlander used the sword in the final battle against the Shadowen in Southwatch.\n\nThe sword's magic lay dormant for another 130 years until Walker Boh came in search of Quentin Leah, the new heir to the sword.

The backdrop for Abraham's call is the table of nations outlined in Genesis 9 and 10. Shem is chosen for blessing, the descendents of Canaan subjugated to him; Japheth's descendents, on the other hand, are to \"live in the tents of Shem\" (Gen. 9:27). Thus, from an original unity of humankind, nations emerge separated not only by language and land, but primarily by politics. Why Shem is chosen to father the children of Eber (the Semitic peoples including the Hebrews who later become Israel) is left unexplained. Paul in Colossians calls the workings of God \"a mystery that has been hidden throughout the ages and generations\" (Col. 1.26).\n\nYahweh chooses Abram, who is childless, telling him his heir will come out of his own issue (Gen. 15.4). The offspring destined to carry God's grace forward, however, will be subjected to slavery for four hundred years, a very long time for any people of God to wait in faith. The Lord speaks of such waiting: \"For there is still a vision for the appointed time; it speaks of the end, and does not lie. If it seems to tarry, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay... the righteous live by their faith\" (Hab. 2:3,4). Through Isaac, Abram's offspring is named, even though another nation emerges from Ishmael.\n\nLater, the story of Isaac's children, Jacob and Esau, foreshadows the full relationship of the Jew and Gentile. Jacob is the second born son who steals the birthright of Esau. Jacob is deceitful and manipulative in his determination to fulfill what he sees as his destiny. Why is it then that he fathers the twelve sons from whom the twelve tribes of Israel emerge? The relationship of Jacob and Esau is a picture of humanity: the relationship is one of hate and a determination to kill (Gen. 27:41,42). Jacob flees from Esau's wrath (at the urging of his mother Rebekah) to seek a wife among her people rather than from among the Canaanites. On his way to seek the \"bone and flesh\" of his own people, Jacob chooses God in response to a very personal revelation. He sees a ladder reaching from earth into heaven with angels of God ascending and descending; this is the vision Christ tells Nathaniel he will see: \"[Y]ou will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man\" (John 1.51). Jacob's response is recognition that \"the Lord is in this place; and I did not know it\" (Gen. 28:16). The sanctuary of Yahweh is revealed to be the earth; Jacob is afraid and overcome with awe. He declares: \"The Lord shall be my God\" (Gen. 28:21).\n\nDespite the recognition of Yahweh's presence, Jacob is not yet fully transformed. This is revealed in his fear and distress at encountering his brother Esau; he must undergo yet a chastening of self-confidence before he is ready for right relationship. Jacob wrestles until dawn to receive his spiritual blessing, and this time, Jacob reveals his true identity: the man with whom he wrestles asks him pointedly, \"What is your name?\" (Gen. 32:27) and he replies, \"Jacob\" (meaning \"he grasps the heel\", or figuratively, \"he deceives\"). But God says: \"Your name shall no more be called Jacob, but Israel\" (meaning, \"He who strives with God\" or \"God strives\"). Jacob is now ready for a new relationship with Esau, who runs to meet him, and embraces and falls on his neck, and kisses him (Gen. 33:4). The changed Jacob, whose new life is signalled by the new and symbolic name Israel, now tells his brother to keep his possessions, that he has enough. In Esau's human face, Jacob now finds the image of right relationship, finding his face to be like \"seeing the face of God\" (Gen. 33:10).\n\nThe picture of Esau and Jacob is not complete until their destiny intertwines itself with that of the Jew and Gentile. Paul states clearly that it \"is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are reckoned as descendents\" (Rom. 9:8). He then states the working of grace quite matter-of-factly: \"The elder will serve the younger. As it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated\" (9:13). At play here again is the idea \"I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy\" (9:15). It remains a mystery of grace that the first born Israelites should have had \"the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ\" (9:4,5); and yet, the \"Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, righteousness through faith\" (9:31). Paul quotes from Isaiah, \"I have been found by those who did not seek me; I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me\" (10.20).\n\nThe unpredictability of who Yahweh chooses is clearly illustrated in Jacob's son Judah. Jacob's deathbed blessing singles out Judah to receive the scepter and ruler's staff. Why Judah? Judah after all is the man who slept with his own daughter-in-law, mistaking Tamar for a common cult prostitute (Genesis 38). Judah, typical of human beings, is quick to see and condemn the shortcomings of Tamar but has to have his own shortcomings revealed to him. He at least has the humility to acknowledge after the fact that Tamar \"is more righteous than I\" (Gen. 38:26). In the meantime, as a result of that union, Tamar bears twins, with Perez coming out ahead of his almost first-to-be-born brother Zerah, whose birthright has been marked with a scarlet thread. In the prevailing of Perez, though, is established the Davidic line. As unlikely a recipient of grace as Judah may appear, he, nonetheless, reveals the character of greatness in becoming surety for his brother Benjamin; he even asks that he be allowed to remain a slave to the Egyptian Lord (who is Joseph) in Benjamin's place (Gen. 44:32-33). The picture created here is one of substitutionary sacrifice.\n\nTo the list of God's unlikely chosen, Moses, and his brother Aaron, contribute significantly to the early revelation of Yahweh. When Moses is born, odds have been stacked against him: the Hebrews have multiplied in Egypt, and Pharaoh has commanded that \"Every son that is born to the Hebrews you shall cast into the Nile\" (Exodus 1.22). In the story of the babe in the basket boat, we see the sinister human will that seeks at every turn to thwart God's purposes.\n\nAs Moses grew, although he had chosen nobly \"to share ill-treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season\" (Heb. 11:25), he acts rashly and foolishly in murdering the Egyptian and so is compelled to flee. After years of sojourning in exile in Midian, God's steadfast love is revealed to Moses in the dramatic theophany of a burning bush. Moses is possessed with mystery and dread at its sight. We understand how his only possible reaction is to reply \"Here am I\" (Ex. 3:4). God reveals Himself as the God of Moses' father, the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and now the God of Moses (Ex. 3:6). Moses hides his face and is afraid to look at God. When he learns, though, that Yahweh is redirecting him back into Egypt into the courts of a new Pharaoh, Moses balks and begins excusing himself from this frightful task: \"Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh?\" (Ex. 3:11). Yahweh's reply is meant to be reassuring: \"I will be with you\" (3:12). This is not enough for Moses who turns into an excuse maker, not unlike any of us who are called to play a part in God's revelation to human beings. Now Moses asks, \"What shall I say?\" (3:13). He is instructed that he is to reveal Yahweh: he is to tell the Egyptians \"I AM WHO I AM\" and the Israelites, \"I AM has sent me to you\" (3:14). He is further instructed to tell the Hebrews that this God is the God of their fathers, the God whose name is to be remembered throughout all", "base_doc": ". The backdrop for Abraham's call is the table of nations outlined in Genesis 9 and 10. Shem is chosen for blessing, the descendents of Canaan subjugated to him; Japheth's descendents, on the other hand, are to \"live in the tents of Shem\" (Gen. 9:27). Thus, from an original unity of humankind, nations emerge separated not only by language and land, but primarily by politics. Why Shem is chosen to father the children of Eber (the Semitic peoples including the Hebrews who later become Israel) is left unexplained. Paul in Colossians calls the workings of God \"a mystery that has been hidden throughout the ages and generations\" (Col. 1.26).\n\nYahweh chooses Abram, who is childless, telling him his heir will come out of his own issue (Gen. 15.4). The offspring destined to carry God's grace forward, however, will be subjected to slavery for four hundred years, a very long time for any people of God to wait in faith. The Lord speaks of such waiting: \"For there is still a vision for the appointed time; it speaks of the end, and does not lie. If it seems to tarry, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay... the righteous live by their faith\" (Hab. 2:3,4). Through Isaac, Abram's offspring is named, even though another nation emerges from Ishmael.\n\nLater, the story of Isaac's children, Jacob and Esau, foreshadows the full relationship of the Jew and Gentile. Jacob is the second born son who steals the birthright of Esau. Jacob is deceitful and manipulative in his determination to fulfill what he sees as his destiny. Why is it then that he fathers the twelve sons from whom the twelve tribes of Israel emerge? The relationship of Jacob and Esau is a picture of humanity: the relationship is one of hate and a determination to kill (Gen. 27:41,42). Jacob flees from Esau's wrath (at the urging of his mother Rebekah) to seek a wife among her people rather than from among the Canaanites. On his way to seek the \"bone and flesh\" of his own people, Jacob chooses God in response to a very personal revelation. He sees a ladder reaching from earth into heaven with angels of God ascending and descending; this is the vision Christ tells Nathaniel he will see: \"[Y]ou will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man\" (John 1.51). Jacob's response is recognition that \"the Lord is in this place; and I did not know it\" (Gen. 28:16). The sanctuary of Yahweh is revealed to be the earth; Jacob is afraid and overcome with awe. He declares: \"The Lord shall be my God\" (Gen. 28:21).\n\nDespite the recognition of Yahweh's presence, Jacob is not yet fully transformed. This is revealed in his fear and distress at encountering his brother Esau; he must undergo yet a chastening of self-confidence before he is ready for right relationship. Jacob wrestles until dawn to receive his spiritual blessing, and this time, Jacob reveals his true identity: the man with whom he wrestles asks him pointedly, \"What is your name?\" (Gen. 32:27) and he replies, \"Jacob\" (meaning \"he grasps the heel\", or figuratively, \"he deceives\"). But God says: \"Your name shall no more be called Jacob, but Israel\" (meaning, \"He who strives with God\" or \"God strives\"). Jacob is now ready for a new relationship with Esau, who runs to meet him, and embraces and falls on his neck, and kisses him (Gen. 33:4). The changed Jacob, whose new life is signalled by the new and symbolic name Israel, now tells his brother to keep his possessions, that he has enough. In Esau's human face, Jacob now finds the image of right relationship, finding his face to be like \"seeing the face of God\" (Gen. 33:10).\n\nThe picture of Esau and Jacob is not complete until their destiny intertwines itself with that of the Jew and Gentile. Paul states clearly that it \"is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are reckoned as descendents\" (Rom. 9:8). He then states the working of grace quite matter-of-factly: \"The elder will serve the younger. As it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated\" (9:13). At play here again is the idea \"I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy\" (9:15). It remains a mystery of grace that the first born Israelites should have had \"the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ\" (9:4,5); and yet, the \"Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, righteousness through faith\" (9:31). Paul quotes from Isaiah, \"I have been found by those who did not seek me; I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me\" (10.20).\n\nThe unpredictability of who Yahweh chooses is clearly illustrated in Jacob's son Judah. Jacob's deathbed blessing singles out Judah to receive the scepter and ruler's staff. Why Judah? Judah after all is the man who slept with his own daughter-in-law, mistaking Tamar for a common cult prostitute (Genesis 38). Judah, typical of human beings, is quick to see and condemn the shortcomings of Tamar but has to have his own shortcomings revealed to him. He at least has the humility to acknowledge after the fact that Tamar \"is more righteous than I\" (Gen. 38:26). In the meantime, as a result of that union, Tamar bears twins, with Perez coming out ahead of his almost first-to-be-born brother Zerah, whose birthright has been marked with a scarlet thread. In the prevailing of Perez, though, is established the Davidic line. As unlikely a recipient of grace as Judah may appear, he, nonetheless, reveals the character of greatness in becoming surety for his brother Benjamin; he even asks that he be allowed to remain a slave to the Egyptian Lord (who is Joseph) in Benjamin's place (Gen. 44:32-33). The picture created here is one of substitutionary sacrifice.\n\nTo the list of God's unlikely chosen, Moses, and his brother Aaron, contribute significantly to the early revelation of Yahweh. When Moses is born, odds have been stacked against him: the Hebrews have multiplied in Egypt, and Pharaoh has commanded that \"Every son that is born to the Hebrews you shall cast into the Nile\" (Exodus 1.22). In the story of the babe in the basket boat, we see the sinister human will that seeks at every turn to thwart God's purposes.\n\nAs Moses grew, although he had chosen nobly \"to share ill-treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season\" (Heb. 11:25), he acts rashly and foolishly in murdering the Egyptian and so is compelled to flee. After years of sojourning in exile in Midian, God's steadfast love is revealed to Moses in the dramatic theophany of a burning bush. Moses is possessed with mystery and dread at its sight.

He is further instructed to tell the Hebrews that this God is the God of their fathers, the God whose name is to be remembered throughout all generations, the God who promised to deliver them out of Egypt and to bring them into a \"land flowing with milk and honey\" (3:17). Moses is told, \"they will hearken to your voice.\" Moses excuses himself again: \"They will not believe me\" (4:1). To this excuse, he adds yet another: \"I am not eloquent\" (4:10). I have always appreciated Moses' attempt here and the reply he receives from God: \"Who has made man's mouth?... Is it not I?\" (3:11). Moses is then pushed a bit here: \"Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what", "perturbation_file": "privacy_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 3154, "pt_loc": 29930503, "pt_shuffle_idx": 153803321, "doc_index_f": 241083093, "doc_index_l": 241083093, "offset_f": 637, "offset_l": 2685, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 142, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": " point you have to say that your neighbor just can\u2019t have a car that spills oil and tracks it around the neighborhood.

That\u2019s when regulation is critical, because without it you\u2019d have no safeguards.\n\nI will give you an example of how regulation can work. I worked on a large-scale master-plan project in the Middle East a few years back, with a series of three blocks on a massive site. Our engineering team produced a master plan about the project\u2019s energy usage and building orientation not aligned to the existing street grid, but to a better orientation for energy use. The local planners wanted to shift the building orientations back to the existing street grids. When we reviewed the two options with our client the question came up, \u201cWhich option uses more energy?\u201d Because of the local energy regulations and requirements in this county, I said a potentially controversial answer: \u201cBoth options use the same amount.\u201d They resisted, saying, \u201cNo, no, no. You told us this one is more efficient.\u201d Our response was that although one was more efficient than the other in using energy, ultimately both were controlled by the amount of energy to be used by local codes. Simply put, both schemes use the same amount of kilowatt hours, but that the one that is efficient is the one cheaper to operate in the long term. The planners, without hesitation I might add, picked the energy-efficient scheme.\n\nEDB: I have a question about the Adaptive Building Initiative (ABI) you started with Chuck Hoberman in 2008. I\u2019m interested in the role that creativity plays in efficiency. Perhaps we need to think in a more creative way to be more efficient. Hoberman describes himself as an inventor. What is the role of creativity at ABI, especially between engineering and architecture?\n\nCS: The adaptation of building skins is pretty fundamental to the energy performance of a building. From a perspective of innovation, an adaptable fa\u00e7ade system is probably the most efficient way to have both a transparent fa\u00e7ade and an energy-efficient fa\u00e7ade simultaneously. But the continual adaptation of that skin is, shall I say, a little ahead of its time. We have done successful projects through ABI, but it hasn\u2019t moved to the mainstream at this stage. One challenge that we see before continual adaptation strategies start becoming more commonplace, is that even static fa\u00e7ade systems need to be more energy responsive. Think about it: How often do we see building skins similar on all sides of a building? It can be very frustrating to see this. We know where the sun is, correct? Even in a static sense there are huge efficiencies that can be wrung out of building design at this stage over the business-as-usual approach we often see today. And we should probably think about that problem before building skins start to adapt and change. I love the concept of it\u2014don\u2019t get me wrong\u2014because we partially invented it. But the first thing to do is convince a developer who thinks it\u2019s cheaper to make building fa\u00e7ades the same on all sides that it might be cheaper not to because of some energy requirements.\n\nOver the last ten years, we have become more savvy about the idea that envelopes are important as a building system, not just a series of components. In other words, you used to think of fa\u00e7ades as though they were trim for a car. When you buy a car, you buy the chassis and the engine, and then you choose either leather seats or cloth seats\u2014that was your fa\u00e7ade. But today, people are beginning to realize it\u2019s as important as the transmission. It\u2019s a system because it drives so much of the energy efficiency of a building.\n\nEDB: There is actually much more attention to retrofitting existing buildings than constructing new buildings. The issue of intervening on the efficiency of fa\u00e7ades is huge.\n\nCS: Yes. Nico Keinzl is teaching a course on the sustainability in existing buildings at Columbia GSAPP. I think these are important issues to be exploring. It\u2019s a huge issue for a place like New York City.\n\nLooking at the existing building fabric is incredibly important, but then you run into the problem that a building\u2019s energy production goes up after renovation. It\u2019s hard and a very difficult problem to solve. So, you have to ask yourself whether you are solving the right problems. Maybe that\u2019s what I\u2019ll conclude with today: If using less energy solves the problem, I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve identified the right problem. I think the problem has to do with the productivity of energy.\n\nJK: Along that note, do you have other concluding thoughts on the topic of efficiency?\n\nCS: Climate change is the major issue of the day. We\u2019re in the middle of it. How we deal with it is very important. The question \u201cShould we be saving more, or should we be more productive with what we have?\u201d might just sidestep the ultimate need to use less. But it does come into play by jumping scale. In a dense urban environment, using more energy but doing so more productively can actually solve the climate change problem because ultimately we\u2019ll use less energy somewhere else. I work with projects that have a tight boundary around them, but I see solutions from those boundaries that can solve the broader issue. Going back to the observation that a \u201cproductive\u201d building in terms of energy is one that is empty, is not the solution. I want to do more, something better, with that building\u2014and not punish or penalize it for using energy in the first place.\n\nIf the question is whether we should use less, it\u2019s probably the wrong question. The question should be how productively can we use energy. If it is linked to larger solutions like the densification of cities, more efficient transportation networks, or more efficient energy distribution systems, then it\u2019s a real part of the solution. If not, then you\u2019re just using the word energy in an inefficient context. That could be the true wolf in sheep\u2019s clothing.\n\n 1. 1. \u201cHow Efficient Is Energy Efficiency?

Perennial herbs lose virtually all vegetative parts but storage organs before winter, whereas shrubs and trees retain large part or even most of vegetative mass. Theory of optimal resource allocation helps to predict important features of the two strategies. Annuals must chose the best time during a year for the switch from vegetative to generative growth and \"decide\" about the proportion of seeds germinating in the next season and amounting to a seed bank. Semelparous perrenials must choose the year for flowering. Iteroporous perennials must choose when to allocate assimilated resources to growth and when to reproduction, and they must optimize investments to storage.

In between a concert tour and movie premieres, Criss actually spent Saturday in the Hall of Fame. He joined the high schoolers for the weekend concert at the Hollywood Bowl celebrating the Bowl's latest Hall of Fame inductees.\n\n\"If you get asked, 'Hey, do you want to play the Hollywood Bowl,' the answer is yes,\" he said, sitting in the empty Bowl seats hours before the appearance. \"The Hollywood Bowl is an iconic venue.

He was dressed comfortably for the day of rehearsing and performing, in jeans and a light gray button-down T. Teal socks peaked from beneath the cuff of his jeans. His five o'clock shadow distinguished him from the high school students; otherwise, he easily could have passed for one, even though he's 26.\n\nPlaying Blaine, an openly gay lead singer in a rival show choir on \"Glee,\" wasn't his first break.

An application was therefore made to the Chief Constable for the instalment of such a device, which was authorised on 21 June 1994, pursuant to the non-statutory Home Office Guidelines of 1984.

If you post bail, you pay the entire $20,000 or $10,000, whatever you decide. If you make all of your court appearances, you get this money back. However, most people do not have this kind of money to give to the court and so they post bond. If you post bond, you go to a bail bondsman and pay 10% (so $2,000 or $1,000) and the bondsman will post the bail. You do not get this 10% back even if you get to all of your appearances. If you fail to appear in court, the bondsman will likely come and collect the balance of the bail from you because that is the amount he may loose. The 10% you pay is for the bondsman\u2019s risk in paying the whole amount, much like a commission.\n\nQ: Is jail different from prison?\nYes. Jails are usually run by the county while prisons are usually run by the state or federal government. Jails are local while prisons may not be. Jails are for short-term periods (usually no more than a year) while prisons are longer-term. Jails are for people who cannot make bail prior to trial or for those that are arrested. Prisons are for people who are serving time, usually for felonies because those sentences are longer. As you can probably guess, people who are convicted in state court are sent to a state prison but those who are convicted in federal court are sent to a federal prison (this is not always the case, but rather a general rule and a good assumption). There are many other differences with the way they are run, programs they offer, and so on, but this gives you a general overview of the main differences.\nQ: The police are offering me a deal to give them evidence on others involved in my crime. Can I trust them?\nDepends. Many police officers are men and women of their word, but some are not. The best policy is to have an attorney negotiate with the police and the prosecutor and get the agreement confirmed. Many times, the police exaggerate the trouble you are in or the evidence they really have. There are also collateral consequences of being a \u201csnitch.\u201d It is risky\u2014word on the street can get out and that can mean trouble for you. Bottom line, don\u2019t do this until you have consulted a criminal defense attorney. Many people wind up getting strung along as the police keep asking for just one more piece of information, or just \u201cone more buy.\u201d Don\u2019t get involved in this type of activity until you have an experienced attorney on your side.\nQ: Can the police lie to me when questioning me about my case?\nIt is scary that the answer is YES. The police are allowed to tell you an outright lie in their attempt to get you to incriminate yourself. One of the most common lies is to say they have witnesses or other evidence when they do not, or to tell someone that their accomplices have already confessed so they should as well. Equally as scary, if you lie to a Federal Agent (FBI, DEA), you have just committed a crime. Don\u2019t believe me? Look up Martha Stewart s case . . .\n\n\nQ: What are the different investigatory agencies and how do they differ?\nThere are several law enforcement agencies: city police, county sheriffs, state patrol, FBI, SEC, Secret Service, and others. Knowing what law enforcement agency is investigating, however, does not always indicate which court will pick it up. A FBI (federal) investigation may be prosecuted by the county attorney (state). The investigation methods differ case-to-case and agency-to-agency.\nQ: What\u2019s the difference between the federal and state systems with respect to crimes and charging?\n\nWhen a United States Attorney charges someone with a crime, there is either an information or an indictment. An indictment may occur when a grand jury comes in and votes that there is enough proof to charge an individual with a crime. An information is essentially the same document with the same effect but it only needs the prosecutor to sign it. In the state system, a prosecutor signs a complaint to charge a person with a crime. (Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure 6, 7) A Complaint may also be used. (Fed. R. Crim. P. 3)\n\nIn the state system, a person is charged usually by a Complaint (Minn. R. Crim. P. 2). Sometimes the person may be charged by grand jury.\n\nEach system has separate crimes, which come from statutes. Some of the crimes are similar but each system has certain crimes that only they prosecute.\n\nQ: What agencies investigate white collar crime?\nMost of the time, federal agencies. White-collar offenses often fall under federal jurisdiction although in Minnesota, the Hennepin County Attorney\u2019s Office has a \u201cwhite collar crime\u201d division. If agents from one or more of the following federal agencies have questioned you, you may be the target of a white-collar crime investigation: * Federal Bureau of Investigation * Securities and Exchange Commission * Internal Revenue Service * United States Treasury * United States Postal Service * U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service * Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).\nQ: Do the federal and state courts sentence the same way?\n\nNo. When it comes to sentencing, each system has completely separate guidelines. The United States Sentencing Guidelines has a complex formula that gives a number that corresponds with how many months will be served in prison, the fine owed, and the amount of supervised release that follows. Of course, the Guidelines are not mandatory and a judge may sentence above or below what the Guidelines recommend. You can see the Federal Guidelines here: https://www.ussc.gov/Guidelines/2011_Guidelines/Manual_PDF/index.cfm.\n\nIn state court, the Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines are much simpler to figure out. Like the federal system, the Minnesota Guidelines are not mandatory and the judge may or may not follow the recommendation. You can see the Minnesota Guidelines here: https://www.msgc.state.mn.us/msgc5/guidelines.htm.\n\nIn both systems, the attorneys get to argue for a sentence and the probation office is heard. The attorneys usually submit memoranda prior to a sentencing hearing and both are heard at the hearing.\n\n\nQ: What\u2019s a \u201cspecialist\u201d and why is it important?\nAttorneys must follow Rules of Professional Conduct. The Board that keeps an eye on attorneys takes claims to be a specialist very seriously. Attorneys cannot state that they are specialists unless they also state the name of the certifying organization, which must be accredited by the Minnesota Board of Legal Certification, or, if it\u2019s not, the attorney must state that the certifying organization is not so accredited. Only about 3% of attorneys are certified as a specialist in Minnesota. As of October 2012, only 44 lawyers are certified as specialists by the Minnesota State Bar Association. Ryan Garry is a criminal law specialist. In order to be certified as a Criminal Law Specialist, the attorney must have a certain number of trial hours, be in good standing with the Board of Professional Responsibility, pass a qualification exam, have references from other attorneys and judges, and submit writing samples and court transcripts. The requirements are strict.\nQ: Do I really need an attorney?\nThe answer to this question depends upon the nature of your charges. In most cases, if you retain an experienced criminal attorney, you have a much better chance of prevailing in your case, or receiving a lighter sentence if you are convicted.\nQ: Why is important to hire a reputable attorney?\n\nThere are many, many criminal defense attorneys. Most prosecutors know the attorneys that will try cases and the attorneys that \u201ctalk the talk\u201d but don\u2019t \u201cwalk the walk.\u201d It is important to hire an attorney who has a reputation of trying cases because your chances of a great plea deal are much better with a real trial attorney.\n\nLike most other professions, reputation in the legal community is very important. It is very beneficial to you, the client, to have an attorney who is well-liked and well-respected in the legal community. Attorneys who are on good terms with judges, prosecutors, and other attorneys have a great advantage over those who do not. When the prosecutors and judges like and trust the defense attorney, they are more likely to listen to and work with what the defense proposes.\n\nQ: Should I try to handle the case myself?\n\nHandling your case alone is called going \u201cpro se.\u201d It\u2019s possible and people do it, but navigating through the court rules, the Rules of Evidence", "base_doc": "\u2019s safety; the community\u2019s safety.\u201d (Rule 6.02, subdiv. 2) Your attorney will argue for you in court that you should have a low bail, usually because you are not a flight risk or cannot afford a high bail.\n\nLet\u2019s say the judge says $20,000 bail with no conditions or $10,000 bail with conditions (and then the judge will list the conditions).

White-collar offenses often fall under federal jurisdiction although in Minnesota, the Hennepin County Attorney\u2019s Office has a \u201cwhite collar crime\u201d division. If agents from one or more of the following federal agencies have questioned you, you may be the target of a white-collar crime investigation: * Federal Bureau of Investigation * Securities and Exchange Commission * Internal Revenue Service * United States Treasury * United States Postal Service * U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service * Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).\nQ: Do the federal and state courts sentence the same way?\n\nNo. When it comes to sentencing, each system has completely separate guidelines. The United States Sentencing Guidelines has a complex formula that gives a number that corresponds with how many months will be served in prison, the fine owed, and the amount of supervised release that follows. Of course, the Guidelines are not mandatory and a judge may sentence above or below what the Guidelines recommend. You can see the Federal Guidelines here: https://www.ussc.gov/Guidelines/2011_Guidelines/Manual_PDF/index.cfm.\n\nIn state court, the Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines are much simpler to figure out. Like the federal system, the Minnesota Guidelines are not mandatory and the judge may or may not follow the recommendation. You can see the Minnesota Guidelines here: https://www.msgc.state.mn.us/msgc5/guidelines.htm.\n\nIn both systems, the attorneys get to argue for a sentence and the probation office is heard. The attorneys usually submit memoranda prior to a sentencing hearing and both are heard at the hearing.\n\n\nQ: What\u2019s a \u201cspecialist\u201d and why is it important?\nAttorneys must follow Rules of Professional Conduct. The Board that keeps an eye on attorneys takes claims to be a specialist very seriously. Attorneys cannot state that they are specialists unless they also state the name of the certifying organization, which must be accredited by the Minnesota Board of Legal Certification, or, if it\u2019s not, the attorney must state that the certifying organization is not so accredited. Only about 3% of attorneys are certified as a specialist in Minnesota. As of October 2012, only 44 lawyers are certified as specialists by the Minnesota State Bar Association. Ryan Garry is a criminal law specialist. In order to be certified as a Criminal Law Specialist, the attorney must have a certain number of trial hours, be in good standing with the Board of Professional Responsibility, pass a qualification exam, have references from other attorneys and judges, and submit writing samples and court transcripts. The requirements are strict.\nQ: Do I really need an attorney?\nThe answer to this question depends upon the nature of your charges. In most cases, if you retain an experienced criminal attorney, you have a much better chance of prevailing in your case, or receiving a lighter sentence if you are convicted.\nQ: Why is important to hire a reputable attorney?\n\nThere are many, many criminal defense attorneys. Most prosecutors know the attorneys that will try cases and the attorneys that \u201ctalk the talk\u201d but don\u2019t \u201cwalk the walk.\u201d It is important to hire an attorney who has a reputation of trying cases because your chances of a great plea deal are much better with a real trial attorney.\n\nLike most other professions, reputation in the legal community is very important. It is very beneficial to you, the client, to have an attorney who is well-liked and well-respected in the legal community. Attorneys who are on good terms with judges, prosecutors, and other attorneys have a great advantage over those who do not. When the prosecutors and judges like and trust the defense attorney, they are more likely to listen to and work with what the defense proposes.\n\nQ: Should I try to handle the case myself?\n\nHandling your case alone is called going \u201cpro se.\u201d It\u2019s possible and people do it, but navigating through the court rules, the Rules of Evidence, and the Rules of Criminal Procedure can be very difficult and overwhelming.\n\nSo, the answer to the question is: Sure, if you have the confidence of performing heart surgery on yourself, then have at it. If not, call a good lawyer, trust me, you will need one.\n\nQ: I\u2019m scared \u2014 what should I tell my family?\nNothing. Until you talk to an attorney. Anything you tell anyone else has the potential to be used against you. Sometimes your family (or whomever you talk to) can be required to testify in court. This isn\u2019t always the case, of course, but it\u2019s a possibility.

Viewed as the period which saw the emergence of social differentiation, the development of long-distance trade, and the intensification of agricultural production, it is seen as the precursor and origin-point for significant aspects of the modern world. This book presents a very different image of Bronze Age Britain and Ireland.\u00a0\n\nDrawing on the wealth of material from recent excavations, as well as a long history of research, it explores the impact of the post-Enlightenment 'othering' of the non-human on our understanding of Bronze Age society. There is much to suggest that the conceptual boundary between the active human subject and the passive world of objects, so familiar from our own cultural context, was not drawn in this categorical way in the Bronze Age; the self was constructed in relational rather than individualistic terms, and aspects of the non-human world such as pots, houses, and mountains were considered animate entities with their own spirit or soul. In a series of thematic chapters on the human body, artefacts, settlements, and landscapes, this book considers the character of Bronze Age personhood, the relationship between individual and society, and ideas around agency and social power. The treatment and deposition of things such as querns, axes, and human remains provides insights into the meanings and values ascribed to objects and places, and the ways in which such items acted as social agents in the Bronze Age world.\n\nEdit this page<|endoftext|>In September 1985 Mrs Costello-Roberts sent Wendy Costello-Roberts, who was then aged seven, to an independent boarding preparatory school in Barnstaple, Devon. The school had approximately 180 pupils, none of whose fees were paid out of public funds, and received no direct financial support from the Government. In the school\u2019s prospectus it was stated that a high standard of discipline was maintained, but no mention was made of the use of corporal punishment. Mrs Costello-Roberts had made no enquiry about the school\u2019s disciplinary regime and did not at the outset make known her opposition to corporal punishment. The school in question operated a system whereby such punishment was administered upon acquisition of five demerit marks.<|endoftext|>Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work (R)\n\n\nThe serious side of an iconic comedian.\n\nJoan Rivers in Joan Rivers - A piece of Work directed by Rick Stern and AnnieSundberg.

(When Melissa complains in the documentary about having an ``image problem,'' the assumption is that she is inseparable from her mother in the public eye.)\n\n\nIn such moments, Rivers comes across as someone much more complex and vulnerable than her abrasive ``Can we talk?'' persona.

They turned around and overtook him.\n\n\"Hey son, where did you get them squirrels?\" they asked.\n\n\"Up in the woods,\" he replied.\n\n\"But you don't have a gun. How did you kill them?\"\n\n\"I killed them with rocks,\" he replied.\n\n\"We just don't believe you can do that,\" said the scouts.\n\n\"Well, come on,\" he said. \"And I'll prove it.\"\n\nSo they all went up the road bank into the woods. The boy said, \"Do you see that squirrel out on that tall poplar limb?\" They both saw the squirrel. Then the boy stooped down and got him a rock. He hefted it left-handed a couple of times and let fly. Hit the squirrel right in the head.\n\n\"Come on to our car, boy,' the scouts said. \"We got some papers we want you to sign. We are big league scouts and we want to sign you up.

There isn\u2019t any doubt that right now quick food adjustments the face of many nations and consuming habits around the world. A nutritious diet for your body will be nutritious diet on your penis. Many simple carbohydrates include refined sugars and few essential nutritional vitamins and minerals.\n\nAs much as possible avoid taking in coffee and softdrinks while you are making an attempt to maintain a healthy diet as these comprise quite a lot of sugar and chemicals that might have an effect on the physique. Dietary fiber: A minimum of three mg of dietary fiber taken 3 to 5 instances a day controls levels of cholesterol in physique and helps in thinning of blood, consequently ensuring higher circulation.\n\nBecause our cells often do not require that quantity of energy at that time of eating, the sugar must either be converted to glycogen (sugar storage within cells) or transformed to fats.

Aunt Marilyn and Uncle Bobby, Melanie's parents, always made it a point to include me in their vacation plans.\n\nAunt Marilyn talked endlessly about the enormous rhododendrons we would see on our way to Boone. Uncle Bobby reminded us to keep a lookout for ferocious cowboys and Indians. Melanie and I could barely contain our excitement.\n\nAfter a beautiful drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, we finally arrived at Tweetsie Railroad. The park was packed with tourists. When the famous Tweetsie Train came around the bend, it sounded its arrival with a tremendous whistle. The whistle was so loud, it drowned out the music from a nearby bluegrass band. We were all surprised by this loud noise. Melanie in particular reacted to the train whistle. She literally climbed up Uncle Bobby's legs, up his torso, wrapped her little arms around his neck and proceeded to loose control of her bladder. My poor uncle was soaked.\n\nMelanie and I suddenly realized that the man that Melanie climbed was not Uncle Bobby. It was a unsuspecting tourist who happened to be standing next to Melanie when the Tweetsie Train whistle sounded. Every time I hear a train whistle, even 32 years later, I can't help but smile when I think of the look on that poor man's face.\n\nJennifer Petty, Raleigh, Halifax EMC\n\n\nSue Ann was undergoing emergency surgery and left her body and went to Heaven's gate. \"Is this it Lord?\" she asked. \"Am I dead?\" He replied, \"No, Sue Ann. You have 40 years left. Go on back to earth.\"\n\nDuring recovery from her surgery, she decided that because she was going to live another 40 years, she would make the most of it. She had a face-lift, a tummy-tuck, liposuction and called in a beautician to dye her hair.\n\nUpon leaving the hospital she was struck by an ambulance and killed. When she reached Heaven, she said, \"Lord, you said I had another 40 years. Why didn't you protect me?\" To which he replied, \"Well, I didn't recognize you.\"\n\nJanice Glover, Denton, EnergyUnited\n\nWho shot the crow?\n\nOur good friend Wayne grew up in Blowing Rock at the Green Park Inn. As a boy, he often wandered the golf course with his trusty .22 pistol. One day he came across a crow and decided to have some target practice. He wounded the bird so that it was flopping all over the place, so he tried to catch it to put it out of its misery.\n\nSoon, a couple came walking near where he was and asked what he was doing. He exclaimed, \"Someone has shot this crow, and I'm trying to catch it!\" Next thing he knew, the couple had caught the bird and were off to the vet with it.\n\nJessica Horney, Banner Elk, Blue Ridge Electric\n\nThe preacher's spot\n\nA pastor said that when he first started preaching in the 1970s, people would often give him food instead of money for his services. Unfortunately, some of the food was inedible because of the taste. But he wouldn't dare hurt anyone's feelings, so he found a spot behind his barn to dispose of the food. When he was asked, \"How was the food?\" he could honestly respond \"It hit the spot!\"\n\nJenny Washington, Autryville, South River EMC\n\nWhere were you?\n\nMy two kids, Heather and Paul, are very close in age and are the poster children for sibling rivalry.

They met a boy about 18 years old carrying five squirrels. The boy had no gun, so they began to wonder how he had killed the squirrels. They turned around and overtook him.\n\n\"Hey son, where did you get them squirrels?\" they asked.\n\n\"Up in the woods,\" he replied.\n\n\"But you don't have a gun. How did you kill them?\"\n\n\"I killed them with rocks,\" he replied.\n\n\"We just don't believe you can do that,\" said the scouts.\n\n\"Well, come on,\" he said. \"And I'll prove it.\"\n\nSo they all went up the road bank into the woods. The boy said, \"Do you see that squirrel out on that tall poplar limb?\" They both saw the squirrel. Then the boy stooped down and got him a rock. He hefted it left-handed a couple of times and let fly. Hit the squirrel right in the head.\n\n\"Come on to our car, boy,' the scouts said. \"We got some papers we want you to sign. We are big league scouts and we want to sign you up. A natural left-hander like you could really go places in the big league.\"\n\n\"But I'm not a left-hander,\" the boy said. \"I'm right-handed.\"\n\n\"Well you knocked the squirrel out left-handed.\"\n\n\"I know,\" the boy replied. \"Pa said if I threw right-handed, he'd whip me good, cause I break up the squirrel's bones so bad.\"\n\nJohn W.

They are responsibile for policies that impact our lives. Why is the public so unfamiliar with them? This is not merely a question of how well individual ministry heads can explain or defend their policies.\n\nPolls are merely for reference. Phone surveys cannot tackle issues that are too complex. They can only ask the most rudimentary questions about the respondent's objective and subjective impressions. According to the Wang Wang China Times poll, the three most visible cabinet members, the ones with the highest name recognition and policy making ability, were Central Bank President Peng Hui-nan, Minister of Justice Wang Ching-feng, and Mainland Affairs Council Chairman Lai Hsing-yuan. The Peng cabinet members have tenure, hence job security. Not surprisingly, the Ma administration official who has served the longest, who has the greatest ability, and who has the approval of both the Green Camp and the Blue Camp, is Wang Ching-feng. For years, Wang Ching-feng was a champion of the downtrodden. Recently, campaigning for the three in one local elections and anti-corruption campaigns have given her even more exposure. Lai Hsing-yuan has primary responsibility for the Ma administration's cross-Strait policies. Recently the fourth Chiang/Chen Meeting has received the greatest media coverage, giving Lai more name recognition. But how is one to explain the low name recognition factor for so many other ministry heads?\n\nPerhaps the ministry head lacks charisma and the ability to defend his ministry's policy. But individual ministry heads have any number of ways to make themselves seen and heard. First, the agency may be too anachronistic. Former legislator Kao Shi-po, is the son of former Speaker of the Provincial Assembly Kao Yu-ren, and Deputy Prime Minister Chu Li-lun's brother in law. His name recognition factor is hardly low. But for the public, the function of the Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs Committeee is a mystery. The general population cannot connect him with his job.\n\nSecondly, the work of certain agencies has little immediate relevancy for the public. For example, the CEPD is responsible for national land planning. Normally the vice premier would be in charge, because most of its business is inter-ministerial in nature. But because its activities have little immediate impact on the public, the pollsters did not even mention him. No wonder the head of the CEPD is so forgettable.\n\nThirdly, officials have a hard time surviving. Ministry heads are replaced with frightening alacrity. One hardly has time to note what they do before they are replaced. In the past school tests sometimes asked, \"Who is the Minister of Foreign Affairs? Who is the Minister of the Interior? Who is the Minister of Education?\" More recently, these have not been included among the test questions. The reason is simple. Before the test is administered, the ministers may already have been replaced. Or they may be replaced immediately after the test is given. We can force students to remember the names of key ministry heads, but what would be the point?\n\nBut leave aside these structural factors. Ministry heads themselves cannot escape blame. The function of any particular agency may not be obvious to the public. But these agencies are nevertheless answerable to the Legislative Yuan. In other words, as long they are required to present their case to the legislature, they have no shortage of opportunities for media exposure. The less exposure ministry heads have, the lower the public name recognition. The views ministry heads hold may not meet with the approval of legislators. They may lead to noisy debate. But the public does not forget noisy debates. How can anyone unwilling to defend his policies be remembered as a ministry head willing to assume responsibility? Take Director of Health Yaung Chih-liang for example. He wants to raise fees for health insurance. He supports the administration's policy on US beef imports. His views may not coincide with those of his superiors. But he courageously stated his professional opinion. The public affirmed his courage. By contrast, when ministry heads assume only that \"no news is good news,\" and run for cover at the first sign of controversy, they are going to have a hard time enhancing their name recognition.\n\nApart from these structural factors and individual factors, the most worrisome problem is public indifference to public affairs. This is no trivial matter. This is a problem common to all democratic societies. The situation in the United States is similar. When pollsters ask students in high school and above, the names of national leaders, most of them draw a blank. Why? Is it really because \"politics is so awful?\" Politics may indeed be awful. But politics impacts everyone. One may ignore politics. But politics is not going to ignore you. That being the case, why do so many people refuse to touch it? Is the political culture on Taiwan so far gone that no one even wants to think about it? Does no one even want to discuss such matters as political policy?\n\nA society without public discussion of political policy, will find it difficult to elevate the standard of its political culture. This is the most frightening problem on Taiwan. Some people may blame these ministry heads' lack of name recognition on President Ma. They may demand to know why the president chose these people in the first place? But is the problem really that simple? When the public doesn't know the names of ministry heads, should we rush to blame the president? That is not how a healthy democratic society functions. When most ministry heads go unrecognized by 40% of the public, then that is a problem society truly needs to ponder.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNo comments:<|endoftext|>I.

Even with prompting, 52% of all respondents still couldn't name a single minister. These ministry heads are important and powerful. They are responsibile for policies that impact our lives. Why is the public so unfamiliar with them? This is not merely a question of how well individual ministry heads can explain or defend their policies.\n\nPolls are merely for reference. Phone surveys cannot tackle issues that are too complex. They can only ask the most rudimentary questions about the respondent's objective and subjective impressions. According to the Wang Wang China Times poll, the three most visible cabinet members, the ones with the highest name recognition and policy making ability, were Central Bank President Peng Hui-nan, Minister of Justice Wang Ching-feng, and Mainland Affairs Council Chairman Lai Hsing-yuan. The Peng cabinet members have tenure, hence job security. Not surprisingly, the Ma administration official who has served the longest, who has the greatest ability, and who has the approval of both the Green Camp and the Blue Camp, is Wang Ching-feng. For years, Wang Ching-feng was a champion of the downtrodden. Recently, campaigning for the three in one local elections and anti-corruption campaigns have given her even more exposure. Lai Hsing-yuan has primary responsibility for the Ma administration's cross-Strait policies. Recently the fourth Chiang/Chen Meeting has received the greatest media coverage, giving Lai more name recognition. But how is one to explain the low name recognition factor for so many other ministry heads?\n\nPerhaps the ministry head lacks charisma and the ability to defend his ministry's policy. But individual ministry heads have any number of ways to make themselves seen and heard. First, the agency may be too anachronistic. Former legislator Kao Shi-po, is the son of former Speaker of the Provincial Assembly Kao Yu-ren, and Deputy Prime Minister Chu Li-lun's brother in law. His name recognition factor is hardly low. But for the public, the function of the Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs Committeee is a mystery. The general population cannot connect him with his job.\n\nSecondly, the work of certain agencies has little immediate relevancy for the public. For example, the CEPD is responsible for national land planning. Normally the vice premier would be in charge, because most of its business is inter-ministerial in nature. But because its activities have little immediate impact on the public, the pollsters did not even mention him. No wonder the head of the CEPD is so forgettable.\n\nThirdly, officials have a hard time surviving. Ministry heads are replaced with frightening alacrity.

He stayed on the job only for a couple of months. Perhaps, what can be regarded as the most significant contribution of this phase in Rube Goldberg\u2019s life was to make him realize what he did not want to be doing for the rest of his working life. His job also exposed him to the corrupted political scenario. He abhorred it and refused to pledge his allegiance to corrupt politicians. Finally, it propelled the jaded Rube Goldberg back to the direction that he had wanted to take since the beginning.\n\n\nWhen Rube Goldberg left his job, he worked at the San Francisco Chronicle as an art assistant, with the intention of becoming a professional cartoonist. With his humor and zest for drawing cartoons revived, Rube submitted one cartoon after another to the newspaper. Unfortunately, he would find his work well received only by the office trash bins. There were rare instances when his editor would approve one of his creations for publication. However, it usually called for a tradeoff\u2014Rube would have the satisfaction of seeing his work immortalized in print in exchange for doing less than pleasant office tasks. He would sometimes be asked to clean floors and sort through pictures from the morgue.\n\nEarly Rise as Cartoonist\n\nHis breakthrough assignment came in the form of a sporting event. Publishers found that illustrations greatly raised the newspaper\u2019s sales; hence, they commissioned cartoonists to do a color comic section in which sketches of athletes were featured. Many of these artists were the same ones that influenced Rube Goldberg\u2019s work since his early years. His work was well received in California, and it earned him a $2-dollar raise to $10 per week. Thus started his first stint as a professional in the field as a sports cartoonist for the San Francisco Bulletin.\n\nMike and Ike\n\nThe Bulletin launched Mike and Ike (They Look Alike) on September 29, 1907. It was a Sunday comic series featuring the life of a moronic duo and identical twins after which the cartoon was named. It was initially produced under World Color Printing, Co., which was then engaged in the publication, syndication, and distribution of Sunday comics. However, Mike and Ike did not turn into an instant success as Rube Goldberg would have hoped it to be at the time. Despite the setback, Rube remained persistent. He maintained the Mike and Ike cartoon features in his daily comics amidst the discouraging public reception just to keep the idea going. It took some years, but his persistence eventually paid off.\n\nFoolish Questions\n\nIn 1907, Rube moved to New York and freelanced for a number of publications. After much struggle which had become characteristic of every beginning in his career as cartoonist, he was hired by the New York Evening Mail. Since he was a nobody in the Big Apple, he had to go back to square one. He was hired as a junior sports artist, and it took him two years before he was able to start a cartoon series. It was here that he began to gain popularity as a cartoonist through his one-panel comic \u201cFoolish Questions.\u201d Once, he drew an illustration of a man who had fallen from the Flatiron Building. The cartoon showed a bystander asking the man, \u201cAre you hurt?\u201d\nThat became Foolish Question No. 1, to which the fallen man answered, \u201cNo, I jump off this building every day to limber up for my business.\u201d Thousands of foolish questions came after that. He later recognized the editor Franklin P. Adams for giving him the idea. The concept behind the cartoon was inspired by things that people sometimes say, no matter that they are pointing out the obvious, in order to start a conversation. Of all his work, Foolish Questions seem to showcase Rube Goldberg\u2019s wry sense of humor best. It featured sarcastic rejoinders to foolish questions people typically ask. For example, the single panel would show a man raiding the kitchen at night while another character asks him, \u201cStill awake?\u201d The first man, obviously wide awake, would then respond with something like, \u201cNo, you\u2019re actually seeing me sleepwalk.\u201d Unlike Mike and Ike, Foolish Questions had a strong following. Proof to this claim was the fact that a lot of the witty comebacks were made in response to \u201cfoolish questions\u201d suggested by the readers themselves.\n\nFoolish Questions ran from 1908 to 1934, and its success resulted in spin-offs across various media. In fact, Rube Goldberg\u2019s launch as an author started with a book of the same title, which was published in 1909. There was also a phonograph recording of it featuring the voice of singer Billy Murray, and a game wherein players vied with each other in giving the cleverest answers. It was also the forerunner of Mad magazine\u2019s \u201cSnappy Answers to Stupid Questions,\u201d which began in the sixties.\n\nOne thing seemed funnier than Rube Goldberg\u2019s cartoons, though. Although not yet famous, Rube had somehow established a name as a cartoonist around 1911. His father Max, who had previously discouraged him from becoming an artist, eventually became his agent around that time. As such, Max handled the negotiations and took care of the terms and conditions of Rube\u2019s contracts. On top of these, he made sure that Rube would get intellectual property rights for all of his work, including the characters and any derivations of his work. He became every bit the stage father, as he ensured that Rube\u2019s work would be licensed only for publication.\n\nIt was obvious that the major influence of what would later become Rube Goldberg\u2019s most famous creation was his background in engineering. It must have pleased his father to a great degree. In 1914, Rube began his work on The Inventions. His comic series was very timely, as it was also the same period as the start of the American Age of Invention. With so many discoveries in technology made during that period, Rube had plenty of material to work with.\n\nVaudeville days\n\nRube Goldberg was born and raised within the same period that the Vaudeville was as its peak. Hence, it was not surprising that Rube also performed onstage, together with other cartoonists during his time. It was 1911 when he began performing in vaudeville as a comedian, and he would combine his act with doodling cartoons and even fortune telling. Aside from his stand-up comedy acts, he was also a playwright. In 1914, he was already part of the opening performance at the Lyric Theatre in Birmingham, Alabama.

Briefly discussed in Chapter I they are: -\n\n1. The disease is central disturbance which affects first the mental and general plane and then the organs. This is what has to be treated, if peripheral disturbances are to cease to exist.\n\n2. The mental disposition, not merely mental symptoms, is more important; it is not discrete or separate but connected by a situation.\n\n3. Disease are a posture adopted by the organism for which a particular posture was adopted no longer exists. Hence disease is a delusion ie a false perception of reality. The state of being of a person can stem from a situation or delusion. To remove the state one must remove the delusion.\n\n4. In children there is a striking resemblance of the state of the infant and that of the mother during her pregnancy and sometimes of the father.\n\n5. There are four stages of the disease:\n\na) The delusion or the main feeling.\nb) Coping as the intensity increases.\nc) Failed stage when the person is unable to cope though trying his best.\nd) Given up stage, where the person makes no further effort to cope.\n\nIn (a) the feeling are uncompensated.\n\n6.

He was mainly responsible for designing sewer system plans around the San Francisco area.

Aside from his stand-up comedy acts, he was also a playwright. In 1914, he was already part of the opening performance at the Lyric Theatre in Birmingham, Alabama.

This is what has to be treated, if peripheral disturbances are to cease to exist.\n\n2. The mental disposition, not merely mental symptoms, is more important; it is not discrete or separate but connected by a situation.\n\n3. Disease are a posture adopted by the organism for which a particular posture was adopted no longer exists. Hence disease is a delusion ie a false perception of reality. The state of being of a person can stem from a situation or delusion. To remove the state one must remove the delusion.\n\n4. In children there is a striking resemblance of the state of the infant and that of the mother during her pregnancy and sometimes of the father.\n\n5. There are four stages of the disease:\n\na) The delusion or the main feeling.\nb) Coping as the intensity increases.\nc) Failed stage when the person is unable to cope though trying his best.\nd) Given up stage, where the person makes no further effort to cope.\n\nIn (a) the feeling are uncompensated.\n\n6. Awareness of the reality is cure anmd health is freedom.\n\n7.

The tree is biologically equipped to close such a wound, provided the tree is healthy enough and the wound is not too large. Because the branch collar contains trunk tissues, the tree will be damaged unnecessarily if you remove or damage it.

It has warm summers and chilly, but not extremely cold winters, and in 2011 was the sixth most visited city in Europe. The Vltava River is the city's focal point, and the main attractions are its history and culture, having ten major museums, theaters and historical exhibits. Fortunately much of the old architecture has survived the destruction of Europe during the last century.\n\nBeing a major city in Eastern Europe, it has been at the center of history in that region for 1000 years. At that point it became a center of trade for Europe, and with the wealth that trade brings it became a seat of power for what would become the Kingdom of Bohemia. A large Jewish community was established, and the Old New synagogue, constructed in 1270 still stands.\n\nOver the centuries Prague has had its ups and downs. The city flourished under the King of Bohemia Charles IV, who ruled from 1346-1378. Much of the architecture you will see in the city comes from this time, such as Charles University (the oldest university in Central Europe), the Charles Bridge (the important thoroughfare connecting the right bank district to the castle area), the gothic St. Vitus Cathedral, and New Town (which is a charming district adjacent to Old Town). During this time Prague was the third largest city in Europe, with only Rome and Constantinople larger.\n\nFollowing Charles death the city experienced about 200 years of turmoil, caused mostly by differences caused by religious beliefs and religious persecutions. Things settled down under Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, who was elected King of Bohemia in 1576 and took up residence in the Prague Castle. Rudolf was a forward thinker and a lover of art, and Prague became the cultural capital of Europe. The year 1618 marked the beginning of another turbulent time in Prague, as the devastating Thirty Years' War was fought especially in the first seven years in Bohemia. Plague and famine caused by the war sent the population of Prague to plummet.\n\nPrague was to recover later in the 17th century, and by the mid-1800s factories spurred by the Industrial Revolution were to give it another revival period. Both World Wars I and II were too deeply affect the city, as was communism in the last half of the 10th Century.\n\nAs we can see, Prague has had a volatile history, and I devote most of this piece to its past. That is because much of what you will see there has a historical backdrop, and to really appreciate this great city is to have a grasp of what Prague has experienced in the last 700 years. When you visit, for me a great dining experience was eating the local food and drinking the local beer. They are both truly outstanding. There are literally hundreds of bars and pubs, and the local food we thought was more Slovak with some German characteristics. As with most tourist cities, go to the out-of-the-way places (the locals will point you in the right direction) and stay away from the touristy spots.\n\nPrague is really an interesting city with history old and new.

A job hazard analysis or JHA\u00a0identifies potential hazards related to each step of any job or specific task that has the potential to cause serious injury. Supervisors and staff who perform the tasks should work together to develop the analysis. Supervisors are responsible for writing the JHA, keeping it on file, training affected staff, and enforcing work rules. Staff members who actually use the equipment should participate in the analysis because they are the most knowledgeable about the hazards and have direct control over them.\n\nPriority should be given to jobs that have:\n\n \u2022 The highest injury rates\n \u2022 The most \u201cnear misses\u201d\n \u2022 Potential OSHA violations\n \u2022 Complex instructions where written procedures would be beneficial\n\n\nThe benefits of performing a JHA are that it helps identify previously undetected hazards and increases the job safety knowledge of those participating.\u00a0 In addition, communication between workers and supervisors is improved and acceptance of safe work procedures and the appropriate identification and use of PPE (personal protective equipment) is promoted.\n\nThe job hazard analysis is an invaluable tool for managers and supervisors to use in meeting their obligation to prevent employee exposure to health and safety hazards.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0By reducing or eliminating hazards, the result will be fewer accidents and better Workers\u2019 Compensation experience which can mean lower premiums.\n\nYou can find an OSHA booklet regarding JHA\u2019s here.\u00a0\u00a0If you have questions or need help getting started, call Aisha Hartford, Director of Client Services at 800-462-6435 for support.<|endoftext|>A.

You hear a noise? Consider everything that may be producing it instead of a ghost: pipes, mice, bats, insects, the wind, the TV, a radio which wasn't properly turned off and is giving off static, a man sharpening his knife, house pets, neighbors. A person once thought he heard footsteps in his house, but later found out old wooden houses do tend to make noise as the wood dilates or shrinks according to temperature changes. Try not to Panic.\n\nCommunity Q&A\n\nAdd New Question\n \u2022 How do I escape a ghost trying to harm me?\n Run to the nearest light switch and turn it on. If there is no light switch nearby, slowly, but steadily back off. If the ghost continues to approach you, then freeze. If you keep still for long enough, the ghost might disappear/float away.\n \u2022 Do poltergeists knock things over?\n wikiHow Contributor\n Yes, poltergeists are restless spirits who create disturbances such as this.\n \u2022 Where can I learn about paranormal activities?\n wikiHow Contributor\n You can learn about pretty much anything you want on the internet. Aside from that, try looking for books on the paranormal and the occult.\n \u2022 What does it mean if my friend saw a large silhouette behind me and saw the same one across the room another time of the day?\n wikiHow Contributor\n It sounds like you may have a ghost in the area.\nAsk a Question\n\n\n \u2022 If you are easily scared by this sort of thing, avoid movies and films about it, even if they are not thrillers. Seeing a movie about ghosts will act as a suggestion; after viewing it, you will be more apt to hear strange things and think you're seeing things as well, when in fact it's just your brain recalling what you saw earlier.\n \u2022 If you hear noise in your house you can't immediately identify, it probably isn't a ghost, but it may be a burglar. Be careful.\n \u2022 Never dismiss the thought someone might be playing a prank on you. If someone knows you don't like these things, they may try to spook you for kicks.\n \u2022 Try to stay away from ghost stories and horror movies.\n \u2022 If you do have an encounter, do not freak out. Turn on the lights, find some company, talk about what happened and try to find logical reasons why it happened. Remember, our eyes tend to play pranks on us. A white haze you can't immediately identify could be a curtain, a towel hanging from a door handle or even an optical illusion. Something strange seen out of the corner of your eye likely means you are tired and need some sleep.\n \u2022 While there are many things out there that can't be explained, there is no substantial and 100% credible proof ghosts exist.\n\nArticle Info\n\nCategories: Ghosts\n\nIn other languages:\n\nEspa\u00f1ol:\u00a0evitar encuentros con fantasmas y con sucesos paranormales\n\nThanks to all authors for creating a page that has been read 45,831 times.\n\nDid this article help you?<|endoftext|>Prague, Czech Republic - Its History Is the Basis of Its Culture\n\nOf the great cities in Europe I've had a chance to visit; one that I would most highly recommend is Prague, the capital and largest city in the Czech Republic. It has warm summers and chilly, but not extremely cold winters, and in 2011 was the sixth most visited city in Europe. The Vltava River is the city's focal point, and the main attractions are its history and culture, having ten major museums, theaters and historical exhibits. Fortunately much of the old architecture has survived the destruction of Europe during the last century.\n\nBeing a major city in Eastern Europe, it has been at the center of history in that region for 1000 years. At that point it became a center of trade for Europe, and with the wealth that trade brings it became a seat of power for what would become the Kingdom of Bohemia. A large Jewish community was established, and the Old New synagogue, constructed in 1270 still stands.\n\nOver the centuries Prague has had its ups and downs. The city flourished under the King of Bohemia Charles IV, who ruled from 1346-1378. Much of the architecture you will see in the city comes from this time, such as Charles University (the oldest university in Central Europe), the Charles Bridge (the important thoroughfare connecting the right bank district to the castle area), the gothic St. Vitus Cathedral, and New Town (which is a charming district adjacent to Old Town). During this time Prague was the third largest city in Europe, with only Rome and Constantinople larger.\n\nFollowing Charles death the city experienced about 200 years of turmoil, caused mostly by differences caused by religious beliefs and religious persecutions. Things settled down under Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, who was elected King of Bohemia in 1576 and took up residence in the Prague Castle. Rudolf was a forward thinker and a lover of art, and Prague became the cultural capital of Europe. The year 1618 marked the beginning of another turbulent time in Prague, as the devastating Thirty Years' War was fought especially in the first seven years in Bohemia. Plague and famine caused by the war sent the population of Prague to plummet.\n\nPrague was to recover later in the 17th century, and by the mid-1800s factories spurred by the Industrial Revolution were to give it another revival period. Both World Wars I and II were too deeply affect the city, as was communism in the last half of the 10th Century.\n\nAs we can see, Prague has had a volatile history, and I devote most of this piece to its past. That is because much of what you will see there has a historical backdrop, and to really appreciate this great city is to have a grasp of what Prague has experienced in the last 700 years. When you visit, for me a great dining experience was eating the local food and drinking the local beer. They are both truly outstanding. There are literally hundreds of bars and pubs, and the local food we thought was more Slovak with some German characteristics. As with most tourist cities, go to the out-of-the-way places (the locals will point you in the right direction) and stay away from the touristy spots.\n\nPrague is really an interesting city with history old and new.

A job hazard analysis or JHA\u00a0identifies potential hazards related to each step of any job or specific task that has the potential to cause serious injury. Supervisors and staff who perform the tasks should work together to develop the analysis. Supervisors are responsible for writing the JHA, keeping it on file, training affected staff, and enforcing work rules. Staff members who actually use the equipment should participate in the analysis because they are the most knowledgeable about the hazards and have direct control over them.\n\nPriority should be given to jobs that have:\n\n \u2022 The highest injury rates\n \u2022 The most \u201cnear misses\u201d\n \u2022 Potential OSHA violations\n \u2022 Complex instructions where written procedures would be beneficial\n\n\nThe benefits of performing a JHA are that it helps identify previously undetected hazards and increases the job safety knowledge of those participating.\u00a0 In addition, communication between workers and supervisors is improved and acceptance of safe work procedures and the appropriate identification and use of PPE (personal protective equipment) is promoted.\n\nThe job hazard analysis is an invaluable tool for managers and supervisors to use in meeting their obligation to prevent employee exposure to health and safety hazards.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0By reducing or eliminating hazards, the result will be fewer accidents and better Workers\u2019 Compensation experience which can mean lower premiums.\n\nYou can find an OSHA booklet regarding JHA\u2019s here.\u00a0\u00a0If you have questions or need help getting started, call Aisha Hartford, Director of Client Services at 800-462-6435 for support.<|endoftext|>Video: Alicia Keys \u201cKarma\u201d\n\n\nAlicia Keys\nAlicia Keys\nWe had a few requests for this video from our questions section, but thought it was more fitting to bump it into the video section.

He was disliked by many of the chroniclers of the day because of his argument with Pope Innocent III. Therefore there is a bias that portrays him in an incredibly poor light. Modern Historians include some who identify him as actually being highly energetic and an excellent administrator. The reality is probably between the two extremes of interpretation.\n\nJohn\u2019s problems are well documented, see our biography of him for depth. The treasury had no reserves, the administration of the land was in tatters and his Norman lands were under threat. John had to deal with each of these issues as soon as he was king. Some of the problems were harder to deal with that others, for several reasons.\n\nTo improve administration, John would need to change the relationship of the treasury with the barons. The barons did not like this. The expansion of the Sheriff system threatened the authority of Barons and caused discontent among the peasants: though it was a more efficient system.\n\nThe problem of Normandy was a hard one. It was his families home. It had to be fought for. The barons had land their, he was expected to defend it and expand lands. Conflict there was historic, it was not of John\u2019s making. However, John\u2019s scheming whilst both his father and elder brother Richard had been in charge meant that trust in John\u2019s leadership was low, financial backing for armies was lacking as was his own personal leadership and consequently results were poor.\n\nAs John looked to deal with these issues he had several routes he could take. Other monarchs both before and after him have altered the administration of England without causing upset. John did cause upset. His manner was curt and rude. He was perceived as being arrogant. Many of the barons found him intolerable and impossible to work with. This led to the Baronial War. Bolstered by the support, and likely encouragement, of Louis of France, a Civil War broke out between King John and his barons.\n\nThe treaty that brought this war to an end was the Magna Carta. Magna Carta is hugely significant and a massive break with the traditional treaties of the day. Normally an agreement would simply give land to one party, or money, or arrange marriages to keep a peace. This one, Magna Carta, wrote about freedoms.\n\nThere are 64 clauses in the original Magna Carta. Many deal with specific grievances of the barons and were significant then but less so now. Some though are still at the heart of the English Legal System today.\n\nThree clauses from Magna Carta remain in Law today:\n\nThe rights of the City of London were guaranteed.\n\nAnother clause defends the freedom and rights of the Church in England.\n\nFreemen were granted the right to a fair trial.\n\nOthers of relevance have been removed from law, adapted, then put back into law. These include:\n\nTaxation could not be done without the consent of the realm. This is now taken to mean that Tax can only be imposed by an elected government. In 1215, it meant that the barons and bishops should be broadly in agreement with taxation policies.\n\nWidows could no longer be forced to remarry against their will. Such had been commonplace and this is an early example of the rights of women being documented in English law.\n\nWhy did King John agree to these demands?\n\nIt was very unusual for a King to agree to such a long list of demands from his subjects. However, John had very little choice at that time. A French army had defeated the English and driven them from most of mainland Europe. This had cost a lot of money. John had overcome problems with the church as recently as 1213. In handing over overlordship of England to the papacy, he now found that the barons grievances were taken to the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Papal Legate and given a hearing. John. initially refused to discuss things. Then the barons started to renounce their oath of allegiance. They appointed a new leader. They occupied London.\n\nJohn had no choice but to discuss terms. The terms, as above, were the Great Charter, Magna Carta.\n\nThere are three remaining copies of the original Magna Carta. Magna Carta was reissued in later Medieval reigns, especially relevant redrafting took place in the reign of Henry III, John\u2019s successor.

My concern is over the lost jobs over something that doesn\u2019t appear to have any real reason of being shut down.

All preferences expressed in the form of purchases are part of the cacophony of the market, resulting in jobs coming and going. Is it \u201cworth it\u201d for customers to have preferences? I have never thought of the issue that way. I guess I\u2019d have to say yes, if the world decides it doesn\u2019t like a certain product, then that is \u201cworth\u201d the affect on the market.\n\n Ed, by the way, is correct. People won\u2019t eat more or less. They will still buy food. I can\u2019t think of a reason that these workers should be employed making pink slime instead of Twinkies or lettuce.

It\u2019s not really a moral question of \u201cworth\u201d.\n\n \u2022 MutantMonkey says:\n\n People decided they didn\u2019t want it based on what appeared to be a massive campaign to make it seem like something it isn\u2019t, unhealthy compared to the product it was in, which does not necessarily seem to be true.\n\n I don\u2019t see why it is strange to question the thinking of people when they are likely reacting to non-facts.\n\n On top of this, most people likely do not realize that this is just going to inflate the costs of products that once used it.\n\n I feel that if people had be properly informed, from a neutral standpoint, about the product, there would have been a different response.\n\n \u2022 longfeltwant says:\n\n People keep saying that, but I never once heard anyone say that pink slime was unhealthy or unsafe. I never heard that, did you? (Are you sure? Can you cite that?) I only heard that it was gross and unappetizing and low-quality filler, which is more than sufficient basis for a consumer preference. You know, when Sinclair in The Jungle described the human being who fell into the vat of sausage, he never suggested that the sausage would make anyone sick or be \u201cless healthy\u201d, only that it was completely gross to go around eating human-sausage.\n\n People formed their opinion based on a description of exactly what it is: the leftovers of the trailings of meat-like proteins scraped from bones and sinew, rendered into a pink slime, sterilized with a chemical used to sanitize floors, and mixed into ground beef without being labeled. Those are the \u2018facts\u2019 as I understand them, and certainly are sufficient for me to prefer not to eat it. You really think that is unreasonable?\n\n \u2022 MutantMonkey says:\n\n No I cannot cite anything, but it\u2019s the impression I got from a lot of the coverage, but based on how things have turned in the market, obviously I am not the only one that got that impression. If people were simply put off by the product on facts, I\u2019m surprised that chicken nuggets, hot dogs and lipstick remain on the market, as those items and how they are made are just as off-putting as the pink slime.\n\n \u2022 Mark says:\n\n No one ever came out and said it, because that would set them up for libel/slander suits.

As for worth jobs, it is the right of people to choose what to put in their bodies, but they must also be given full and accurate information about what is going in their bodies.

However, most likely, the company was too cost-conscious (too cheap) to do it and \u201csave\u201d these jobs.\n\n Translation: BPI saw an opportunity to churn out a cheap product with a higher profit margin (LFTB) to pass it off as something else (ground beef) and they took it.\n\n Let\u2019s hear it for good ol\u2019 capitalism!\n\n \u2022 Awesome McAwesomeness says:\n\n It does have a reason to be shut down though. People don\u2019t want to eat it. There is no demand for it anymore. It doesn\u2019t make a shit\u2019 s difference if you think that people are wrong for not wanting it. If people don\u2019t want it, they have a right to not purchase it.\n\n \u2022 UberGeek says:\n\n It is sad that these people lost their jobs. For me the Pink Slime (LFTB) issue isn\u2019t about jobs, food safety, nutrition, overprocessing, or even cost. It\u2019s about transparency and honesty. I want to know when I pay a premium that I\u2019m getting premium and if I\u2019m getting economy-grade that I pay economy-class. If they don\u2019t have to label what\u2019s in it, I\u2019ll never know. Will I (happily) eat LFTB? Sure. It will likely even be my first choice, but I want to have that choice.\n\n It was insulting when come exec/spokesman condescended to us by saying something like, \u201cIt\u2019s 100% beef, what should we call it?\u201d. Up to 15% LFTB can be used without additional labeling, so there\u2019s obviously a label. They have a marketing name to distinguish it from other products, use that. Everyone can eventually figure out the LFTB=Pink Slime, so label it LFTB and the percentage of LFTB in there. The fact that you can put in any more than trace amounts in without labeling is tantamount to hiding it from the consumer.\n\n So yes it is unfortunate so many jobs were lost, but there\u2019s often a price to pay when consumers feel they just found out they were deceived. To me, the people at fault are not the consumers, the celebrity chef that publicized LFTB, or the media that perpetuated the story. I hold the industry leaders and regulators at fault for deciding for us that we didn", "base_doc": ", it was in a ton of stuff and noone had complained about the taste so\u2026.\n\n a bunch of hoopla over nothing IMO.\n\n \u2022 jnl says:\n\n No, when I think of ammonia I think of floor cleaner! Also I don\u2019t care for the \u201cmanipulation\u201d of food. Finally if you pay for 100 percent hamburger, for example, you conger up an image of solid steak being ground up- not scraps being ground and processed- and then charged steak prices for scraps. Its like a rip off.\n\n \u2022 FredKlein says:\n\n an image of solid steak being ground up- not scraps\n\n Um, No.\n\n The \u201csolid steak\u201d gets sold as\u2026 steak. Ground beef, being, well, ground up and all, is naturally suited for the scraps and trimmings to be used in it.\n\n \u2022 Ed says:\n\n What jobs? people aren\u2019t eating less. THey will buy their food from someone else since BPI apparently cannot adapt. Yes, it is sad for those particular workers, but you cannot convince me that this results in a net job loss for the US meat industry.\n\n \u2022 MutantMonkey says:\n\n I think you are over reacting a bit. If they are shutting down plants, people are losing jobs. It\u2019s net impact on the industry is not the concern and not something that was even mentioned so I don\u2019t know why you made the leap to that point. My concern is over the lost jobs over something that doesn\u2019t appear to have any real reason of being shut down. If the product fills a need and is no more or less healthy than the base product, is the shutting down of those factories and the lost jobs worth the fuss and removal of said product? That is all I am asking.\n\n \u2022 longfeltwant says:\n\n We understand your question, but it is a strange question. You are asking, is it \u201cworth it\u201d for customers to have preferences, when those preferences affect employment? Well, all market decisions affect employment. All preferences expressed in the form of purchases are part of the cacophony of the market, resulting in jobs coming and going. Is it \u201cworth it\u201d for customers to have preferences? I have never thought of the issue that way. I guess I\u2019d have to say yes, if the world decides it doesn\u2019t like a certain product, then that is \u201cworth\u201d the affect on the market.\n\n Ed, by the way, is correct. People won\u2019t eat more or less. They will still buy food. I can\u2019t think of a reason that these workers should be employed making pink slime instead of Twinkies or lettuce. Workers are employed in whatever factories make goods wanted by buyers.

The primates used are macaques that are imported from breeding facilities in China and Israel.

At SMI this is impossible. It is therefore not uncommon that the primates develop stereotypical behavior or injury both themselves and one another. The Animal Rights Alliance has read several reports of primates that have died during experiments because of injuries that they had received as a result of their living conditions. Some primates have even died during transport before ever arriving at SMI.\nThe Animal Rights Alliance has started the campaign \u2013 Stop the Primate Experiments \u2013 to spread information, raise public opinion and get a ban passed on the use of primates in animal testing, both in Sweden and in the EU.\nWe are not alone in our views, there is a growing opposition against all sorts of animal testing, especially that which involves the use of primates.\nNow is the time to gather together as one voice - to demand a stop to the torture of the primates at SMI.\nHelp us to give these primates the right to decide over their own lives. Sign our petition, get in touch with both politicians and those responsible at SMI, write letters to the editor in your local paper, partake in public demonstrations and donate, or better yet, become a supporting member of the campaign. But above all, let your voice be heard and demand a ban on all primate testing!\nSMI (The Center for Infectious Disease Control)\nSMI:s history \u2013 decades of critique\nFor decades, SMI has been the subject of criticism in regards to their treatment of primates used for animal testing. The primates are kept in cages, no bigger than a closet, in a basement without any windows.\nDespite protests from the public, and the fact that the Swedish Department of Agriculture has demanded the decommissioning of the facility, the Swedish Government subsidized the building of a new primate housing unit, that mirrored the conditions of the old laboratory. The building was completed in 2003 and was strongly criticized by the Department of Agriculture\u2019s primate group, who stated the new primate center \u201cdoes not represent a modern primate center, built with consideration for the welfare of animals\u201d.\nSMIs experimentation on primates is very controversial. In the year 2000, Aftonbladet (the biggest evening newspaper in Sweden) carried the following headlines: \u201cSMI banned from keeping primates\u201d and \u201cthe animal cruelty has ended\u201d. The background to this press attention was that SMI, since 1994, has not been abiding by rules and regulations stipulated in the Animal Cruelty Act. Furthermore, SMI had lied to the Department of Agriculture in regards to the size of the cages that housed the primates. The Department of Agriculture even went so far as to \u201cquestion SMI:s competency in conducting any type of animal testing whatsoever\u201d.\nThe greater majority of apes at SMI live in two meter high cages, about as small as three normal-sized closets. They are housed in pairs or in a group. A small number of individuals also have the possibility of getting some fresh air by being temporarily placed in an outdoor cage, but this cage is only available to primates being used for certain experiments.\nOne demand made by the Department of Agriculture, which would allow SMI to keep its permits to experiment on animals, was the daily training of primates for \u201ccooperation\u201d in the taking of test samples. To better facilitate the capture of the primates for anesthesia and test sampling, the primates are trained to \u201ccooperate\u201d using so-called \u201cclickers\u201d (the purpose is to train the primate to volunteer their own arm to be pricked with a needle in exchange for a reward). But SMI continues to capture primates with the help of a movable wall at the back of each cage that presses the primate up against the cage bars, restricting their movements.\nSMI admits to not abiding by the demands of the Department of Agriculture.\u00a0\nEUPRIM-Net is a network of 8 European animal testing facilities that use primates and SMI is one of those facilities. The idea is that together, the 8 build a virtual primate center for the experimentation and breeding of primates.\nNo Primates Survive SMI\nSeveral other laboratories that use primates for animal experimentation, among them T\u00f6rneby that previously existed in Sweden, have allowed older primates, no longer needed in experiments, to live out their lives at the facility; partly because it is unnecessary to kill healthy animals and partly because it is well-established that older animals help create social stability for other primates at the facility.

Sign our petition, get in touch with both politicians and those responsible at SMI, write letters to the editor in your local paper, partake in public demonstrations and donate, or better yet, become a supporting member of the campaign. But above all, let your voice be heard and demand a ban on all primate testing!\nSMI (The Center for Infectious Disease Control)\nSMI:s history \u2013 decades of critique\nFor decades, SMI has been the subject of criticism in regards to their treatment of primates used for animal testing. The primates are kept in cages, no bigger than a closet, in a basement without any windows.\nDespite protests from the public, and the fact that the Swedish Department of Agriculture has demanded the decommissioning of the facility, the Swedish Government subsidized the building of a new primate housing unit, that mirrored the conditions of the old laboratory. The building was completed in 2003 and was strongly criticized by the Department of Agriculture\u2019s primate group, who stated the new primate center \u201cdoes not represent a modern primate center, built with consideration for the welfare of animals\u201d.\nSMIs experimentation on primates is very controversial. In the year 2000, Aftonbladet (the biggest evening newspaper in Sweden) carried the following headlines: \u201cSMI banned from keeping primates\u201d and \u201cthe animal cruelty has ended\u201d. The background to this press attention was that SMI, since 1994, has not been abiding by rules and regulations stipulated in the Animal Cruelty Act. Furthermore, SMI had lied to the Department of Agriculture in regards to the size of the cages that housed the primates. The Department of Agriculture even went so far as to \u201cquestion SMI:s competency in conducting any type of animal testing whatsoever\u201d.\nThe greater majority of apes at SMI live in two meter high cages, about as small as three normal-sized closets. They are housed in pairs or in a group. A small number of individuals also have the possibility of getting some fresh air by being temporarily placed in an outdoor cage, but this cage is only available to primates being used for certain experiments.\nOne demand made by the Department of Agriculture, which would allow SMI to keep its permits to experiment on animals, was the daily training of primates for \u201ccooperation\u201d in the taking of test samples. To better facilitate the capture of the primates for anesthesia and test sampling, the primates are trained to \u201ccooperate\u201d using so-called \u201cclickers\u201d (the purpose is to train the primate to volunteer their own arm to be pricked with a needle in exchange for a reward). But SMI continues to capture primates with the help of a movable wall at the back of each cage that presses the primate up against the cage bars, restricting their movements.\nSMI admits to not abiding by the demands of the Department of Agriculture.\u00a0\nEUPRIM-Net is a network of 8 European animal testing facilities that use primates and SMI is one of those facilities. The idea is that together, the 8 build a virtual primate center for the experimentation and breeding of primates.\nNo Primates Survive SMI\nSeveral other laboratories that use primates for animal experimentation, among them T\u00f6rneby that previously existed in Sweden, have allowed older primates, no longer needed in experiments, to live out their lives at the facility; partly because it is unnecessary to kill healthy animals and partly because it is well-established that older animals help create social stability for other primates at the facility. Many have made an effort to rehabilitate primates from non-deadly experiments and allowed them to move to wildlife parks and reserves.", "perturbation_file": "privacy_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 24422, "pt_loc": 3535753, "pt_shuffle_idx": 154604063, "doc_index_f": 242342900, "doc_index_l": 242342902, "offset_f": 491, "offset_l": 1130, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 65, "pt_injection_len": 73, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [111, 807, 1131]} -{"pt_doc": "Janusz Krawczak was born in 1950 and lives in Pozna\u0144.

It\u2019s one of those convenient theater settings that exists in a world apart, a world of coincidence and implausibility where anything can happen\u2014such as a love triangle among an aging outlaw, a teenage rebel and a 17-year-old church girl.\n\nRobert Askins\u2019s 2010 drama strives for gritty realism in its depiction of tortured souls in the Deep South, but the script\u2019s rapid leaps diminish the integrity of the circumstances and characters. Running away from his father\u2019s funeral, Jim (Rob Fenton) meets cowboy Fritz (Joseph Stearns), who quickly makes him an accessory to robbery, then turns him in to the police so he can steal his jailbait girlfriend, Esme (Carolyn Braver). Following a two-year jump between acts, Fritz and Esme are a couple; why Esme falls for the deadbeat is never adequately explained, and skipping over that crucial span makes their relationship feel flimsy.\n\nEsme and Jim have a stronger connection, with their brief early scenes capturing the intimacy that Act II lacks. Much of this is due to Fenton\u2019s charming na\u00efvet\u00e9, later replaced by intense determination as Jim makes a chilling post-prison transformation.

There were nine such terror plots last year, five of which involved confidential informants, compared to seven mass shootings.\n\nFor example, in 2012, the number of deaths resulting from acts of terror perpetrated by Muslim American suspects was zero. By comparison, there were 66 deaths from mass shootings in the United States in 2012. Here\u2019s what that looks like:\n\nMother Jones\n\nSince the 9/11 terror attacks, mass shootings\u00a0have been considerably more lethal than Islamist terrorist attacks in the US. As Kurzman notes, more people were killed in mass shootings in the US in\u00a02012 alone than died in all terrorist attacks by Muslims in the US since 9/11:\n\nMother Jones\n\nThe comparable lethality of mass shooters versus aspiring terrorists seems to be in part a result of would-be terrorists\u2019\u00a0commitment to theatricality. Terrorist wannabes are frequently snared in elaborate\u00a0false terror plots by federal agents, whereas mass shooters often simply\u00a0go to crowded places\u00a0and open fire. Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who killed 13 people and wounded many others in 2009 in a rampage at Ft. Hood, Texas, was one of the only Muslim terrorists to attempt a mass shooting; his plan resulted in more casualties than any other post-9/11 Muslim terrorist attack\u00a0in the US.\n\nThe shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, the seventh mass shooting of 2012, spurred lawmakers into a conversation about changing gun policy. If earlier incidents had involved a Muslim shooter, starting that conversation may not\u00a0have taken so long. Whether Americans\u00a0expect the\u00a0government to protect them from violence\u2014and what lengths Americans expect the government to go in order to do so\u2014seems to depend heavily on whether or not the person intending to do harm happens to be Muslim.\n\nWe Recommend\n\n\nSign up for our newsletters\n\nSubscribe and we'll send Mother Jones straight to your inbox.\n\nGet our award-winning magazine\n\n\n\nSupport our journalism\n<|endoftext|>\n\nWebsite Disclosure :\n\n\nIs the City forever?\n\nDiscussion in 'Seasoned Marijuana Users' started by smokinokie, Sep 3, 2002.\n\n 1.

Yes, Yes It Will!\n 3. I think there are some things that last forever. My computer may not last forever and this board may not last forever but there are words that have inspired me and touched me from the City that will always last forever somewhere in my mind. So, in some ways the City will always be forever.\n 4. Only if the word gets spread on down the line.\n\n My dad and grand father used to tell me about all the things that happened back in the early 1900's. I am passing that on down the line to my kids.

Well I'm gonna have to say US. Because the other day on msn instant messenger under the part where they have the little headlines it said \"Did America fire the first shot at Pearl Harbor?\".

There is the prospect of an electro-magnetic pulse (EMP) from a nuclear blast, a cyberattack, a malicious physical damage, an earthquake, severe space or terrestrial weather. Causes for concern abound: North Korea\u2019s nuclear programme includes the idea of an EMP attack; a Russian cyberattack on Ukraine in 2015 knocked out much of the power grid there for hours; a massive solar storm narrowly missed the Earth in 2012 which, had it hit, would have caused economic losses estimated to be about $2tr; while Hurricane Maria caused a power-supply disaster lasting months in Puerto Rico in 2017.\n\nBest estimates in the UK suggest that a Black Sky event, requiring a \u2018Black Start\u2019 (the term used for restarting the grid from a total power down) would require up to seven days before parts of the country saw power return. This is because power can only be restored in a sequential process if the system isn\u2019t to be overloaded and fall over prematurely. However, the sequence is dependent on technical routing and switching, and not necessarily based on the priority of demand. London, although the seat of national government, is not currently the top priority area. Furthermore, it is not possible to identify single sites like major hospitals or water-pumping stations which must rely on their own reserve generators (often diesel powered). It also means that while response plans assume that other organisations, including the military, will be functioning as normal then it may well not be the case. No doubt, this issue of prioritisation will be a focus of attention in the government\u2019s review of the latest power outage.\n\nIn a seminar in February, Lord Harris or Haringey concluded that:\n\n\u2022 No service or utility can plan for a Black Sky event on its own.\n\n\u2022 Every sector has to recognise its mutual dependencies on other sectors.\n\n\u2022 A lot of work is needed to understand, predict and manage public behaviour under extreme, Black Sky circumstances.\n\n\u2022 There is a general problem of situational awareness. \u201cIn a UK Black Sky scenario, it will be hard both for any individual organisation and for government to have a clear view on what is happening around the country.\u201d\n\n\nFor further\u00a0reading, please visit our Knowledge Hub.<|endoftext|>Find a restaurant\nFind an event\n\nPrinces of Waco at Signal Ensemble Theatre | Theater review\n\nTrue grit chafes against flights of fancy in Robert Askins\u2019s modern Western.\n\nBy Oliver Sava\nPublished: August 29, 2012\n\nPrinces of Waco at Signal Ensemble Theatre\n\nPhoto: Johnny Knight\n\nBehind a Baby Gap in Waco, Texas, there\u2019s a bar with no one behind the counter and the same three patrons over the course of years. It\u2019s one of those convenient theater settings that exists in a world apart, a world of coincidence and implausibility where anything can happen\u2014such as a love triangle among an aging outlaw, a teenage rebel and a 17-year-old church girl.\n\nRobert Askins\u2019s 2010 drama strives for gritty realism in its depiction of tortured souls in the Deep South, but the script\u2019s rapid leaps diminish the integrity of the circumstances and characters. Running away from his father\u2019s funeral, Jim (Rob Fenton) meets cowboy Fritz (Joseph Stearns), who quickly makes him an accessory to robbery, then turns him in to the police so he can steal his jailbait girlfriend, Esme (Carolyn Braver). Following a two-year jump between acts, Fritz and Esme are a couple; why Esme falls for the deadbeat is never adequately explained, and skipping over that crucial span makes their relationship feel flimsy.\n\nEsme and Jim have a stronger connection, with their brief early scenes capturing the intimacy that Act II lacks. Much of this is due to Fenton\u2019s charming na\u00efvet\u00e9, later replaced by intense determination as Jim makes a chilling post-prison transformation. Fenton\u2019s varied, engrossing performance keeps Jim grounded even as the script takes increasingly questionable turns.\n\nTime Out Critic\nGood For\n\nSignal Ensemble Theatre. By Robert Askins.

There were nine such terror plots last year, five of which involved confidential informants, compared to seven mass shootings.\n\nFor example, in 2012, the number of deaths resulting from acts of terror perpetrated by Muslim American suspects was zero. By comparison, there were 66 deaths from mass shootings in the United States in 2012. Here\u2019s what that looks like:\n\nMother Jones\n\nSince the 9/11 terror attacks, mass shootings\u00a0have been considerably more lethal than Islamist terrorist attacks in the US. As Kurzman notes, more people were killed in mass shootings in the US in\u00a02012 alone than died in all terrorist attacks by Muslims in the US since 9/11:\n\nMother Jones\n\nThe comparable lethality of mass shooters versus aspiring terrorists seems to be in part a result of would-be terrorists\u2019\u00a0commitment to theatricality. Terrorist wannabes are frequently snared in elaborate\u00a0false terror plots by federal agents, whereas mass shooters often simply\u00a0go to crowded places\u00a0and open fire. Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who killed 13 people and wounded many others in 2009 in a rampage at Ft. Hood, Texas, was one of the only Muslim terrorists to attempt a mass shooting; his plan resulted in more casualties than any other post-9/11 Muslim terrorist attack\u00a0in the US.\n\nThe shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, the seventh mass shooting of 2012, spurred lawmakers into a conversation about changing gun policy. If earlier incidents had involved a Muslim shooter, starting that conversation may not\u00a0have taken so long. Whether Americans\u00a0expect the\u00a0government to protect them from violence\u2014and what lengths Americans expect the government to go in order to do so\u2014seems to depend heavily on whether or not the person intending to do harm happens to be Muslim.\n\nWe Recommend\n\n\nSign up for our newsletters\n\nSubscribe and we'll send Mother Jones straight to your inbox.\n\nGet our award-winning magazine\n\n\n\nSupport our journalism\n<|endoftext|>\n\nWebsite Disclosure :\n\n\nIs the City forever?\n\nDiscussion in 'Seasoned Marijuana Users' started by smokinokie, Sep 3, 2002.\n\n 1.

So, in some ways the City will always be forever.\n 4. Only if the word gets spread on down the line.\n\n My dad and grand father used to tell me about all the things that happened back in the early 1900's. I am passing that on down the line to my kids.

Rocket Talk is a regular Torontoist column, featuring TTC Chair Karen Stintz and Director of Communications Brad Ross\u2019s answers to Torontoist readers\u2019 questions. Submit your questions to rockettalk@torontoist.com!\n\nReader John Sime asks:\n\nHow come some streetcars seem to be able to turn without switching the track while others have to stop, the driver gets out, switches the track, then gets back in, turns, gets back out, and switches it back? I witness this a lot but I also see a streetcar turn onto Bathurst from King, for example, while the next one goes straight\u2014no switching involved (unless I am missing something here). Why does the switching have to be done manually?\n\nTTC Director of Communications Brad Ross says:\n\nThe majority of switches, about seventy per cent, are electric and are, you guessed it, switched by the operator from the comfort of the streetcar. The rest are manual, requiring the operator to stop the streetcar ahead of the switch, get out of the car, and manually set the switch in the direction he or she wishes to go.\nOnce the operator has made the turn and is at a safe distance from the intersection, the operator then gets out of streetcar\u2014again\u2014and resets the switch to its default position: straight on through, presumably,\u00a0for the next streetcar.\nNow, occasionally, switches get stuck or don\u2019t respond when the operator attempts to set the switch from the cab. At all switch locations across the city, operators must stop and look to ensure the switch is set correctly. Failing to do so will take you on a route you didn\u2019t anticipate. Streetcars are stubborn and will\u2014we always hope\u2014stay on the track you\u2019ve set for them. If the switch doesn\u2019t respond, then it must be set, and then reset, manually.\nShort turns or diversions\u2014the subject, perhaps, of another question I look forward to answering\u2014will take streetcars along routes that are seldom used, such as Bay, Church or Parliament Streets. Those turns (switches) almost always require manually switching.\nHowever, busy and key intersections for streetcars, such as Queen and Broadview, have electric switches to ensure speedy passage where the track is shared, in this case, by both the 501 Queen and 504 King streetcars.\nAnd there you have it. It\u2019s a fairly simple and straightforward process, but an important one for TTC operators to always be cognizant of. And they are. After all, taking a streetcar down a route you didn\u2019t intend often equals a bad day.<|endoftext|>The Northern Lights Will Be Visible Over the U.S. Tonight.

Rocket Talk is a regular Torontoist column, featuring TTC Chair Karen Stintz and Director of Communications Brad Ross\u2019s answers to Torontoist readers\u2019 questions. Submit your questions to rockettalk@torontoist.com!\n\nReader John Sime asks:\n\nHow come some streetcars seem to be able to turn without switching the track while others have to stop, the driver gets out, switches the track, then gets back in, turns, gets back out, and switches it back? I witness this a lot but I also see a streetcar turn onto Bathurst from King, for example, while the next one goes straight\u2014no switching involved (unless I am missing something here). Why does the switching have to be done manually?\n\nTTC Director of Communications Brad Ross says:\n\nThe majority of switches, about seventy per cent, are electric and are, you guessed it, switched by the operator from the comfort of the streetcar. The rest are manual, requiring the operator to stop the streetcar ahead of the switch, get out of the car, and manually set the switch in the direction he or she wishes to go.\nOnce the operator has made the turn and is at a safe distance from the intersection, the operator then gets out of streetcar\u2014again\u2014and resets the switch to its default position: straight on through, presumably,\u00a0for the next streetcar.\nNow, occasionally, switches get stuck or don\u2019t respond when the operator attempts to set the switch from the cab. At all switch locations across the city, operators must stop and look to ensure the switch is set correctly. Failing to do so will take you on a route you didn\u2019t anticipate. Streetcars are stubborn and will\u2014we always hope\u2014stay on the track you\u2019ve set for them. If the switch doesn\u2019t respond, then it must be set, and then reset, manually.\nShort turns or diversions\u2014the subject, perhaps, of another question I look forward to answering\u2014will take streetcars along routes that are seldom used, such as Bay, Church or Parliament Streets. Those turns (switches) almost always require manually switching.\nHowever, busy and key intersections for streetcars, such as Queen and Broadview, have electric switches to ensure speedy passage where the track is shared, in this case, by both the 501 Queen and 504 King streetcars.\nAnd there you have it. It\u2019s a fairly simple and straightforward process, but an important one for TTC operators to always be cognizant of. And they are. After all, taking a streetcar down a route you didn\u2019t intend often equals a bad day.<|endoftext|>The Northern Lights Will Be Visible Over the U.S. Tonight.

He was so funny. The Queen was like \"kiss me,\" and then Orlando kissed her and she said \"That's my boy!\" I felt kind of sorry for her when Orlando kissed the other girl.\n\nThere was a scene where Orlando was in the bed with the Queen. And the chorus was outside of the bed and said, \"And the flower bloomed and fa-ded. The sun came up and back down again.\" That was funny because they were like dancing at the same time. Their arms were up, and they were on their tippy toes, and when they said faded they put their arms down.\n\nIn the book they said that the girl that Orlando was supposed to marry (Thomas J. Cox) was dropping as many handkerchiefs as she had but Orlando would only pick up Sasha's handkerchief. In the play, she threw so many handkerchiefs and said \"Orlando! I'm dropping my handkerchiefs! Will you pick them up! Hellooo!\" That was how I imagined it in the book except I did not think it was going to be played by a boy.\n\nSasha was played by Erica Elam. Sasha was a Russian princess. I love how she was like \"Translation: Will you please honor me by passing the salt.\" She was always speaking in French but she had a Russian accent. She did a very very good Russian accent. She was going to marry Orlando but then she went away on a ship with sailors played by the chorus. She should have stayed with Orlando but maybe her father was worried about her and she had to go see him. Maybe it was for a good reason.\n\nWhen the big flood happens there was a couple laying in bed with millions of eating utensils. I love that part because it is so hilarious.\n\nThere was a scene of Othello by Shakespeare in the play that Orlando saw. I thought that it was a very good adaptation of Othello. And who played Othello was Kevin Douglas. Orlando was thinking that he had murdered Sasha with his own hands. But he did not. He was just imagining. He was imagining it because Othello is about a man who suffocates his wife because of the handkerchief but she did not really give it to another man that she is actually not in love with. Othello feels really bad and kills himself.\n\nThe actor that played Orlando was named Amy J. Carle. When she was a boy she just wore her hair up in a bun--very easy. I thought she did a good job at playing a female and male part--even though they were the same part. There was a flies game that they played that the Duke that was playing with Orlando (Cox) had to give money to her because whoever had the flies on the lump of sugar that they thought got the money. So it was like gambling. She was like \"Ah! Ah! A fly!\" and then she got his whole entire fortune. But then he was like, \"I can forgive you with my charmingness.\" And she was like, \"Oh no. Not again!\" I felt that when she actually speaked to us (not just speaking to a character) it was cool because it made you feel like she didn't just care about the people in the story, she cared about the people watching.\n\nThe scene where she changes into a woman was a cool part because the chorus said \"And she stands in front of all of us in complete nakedness.\" You saw her behind a curtain, but you knew she was naked. It tells you that she is a woman. It was not surprising because I had read that part of the book.\n\nIn the play, the chorus said \"And he did what any young man would do.\" And Orlando says \"King, please send me off to Constantinople\" because he wants to get away from the Archduchess (Cox). And he does get away from the Archduchess--for a century. Most people would think that was good, but not Orlando because she lives more than a century. She changes into a woman and comes straight back to London and she meets the Archduchess and then he turns into the Archduke. He revealed \"A man in black,\" and then said: \"I was in love with you when I saw your picture, but I knew I could not marry you because you were my same sex.\" Then he turns into like a hilarious pose. Orlando is not impressed at all. The Archduke did like a lot of teeheees. The chorus said: \"with an unmentionable number of tee heeing and haw hawing.\" She said, \"Have you ever shot a Tiger?\" And he said, \"No, but I shot an albatross.\" Like duh. It is much easier to kill an albatross than a tiger. If he had shot a tiger, I would be like, I will marry you. Because that would be very useful.\n\nNow let's talk about the Captain (Kevin Douglas). When Orlando is a woman she meets a Captain, and he says, let me give you the smallest slice of corned beef, just the size of your fingernail.\" It was funny because women's fingernails are smaller than men's. So that is a very small slice! She says, \"The only thing to do was to resist or yield.\" And she yielded. There is a part they left out where a sailor is at the top of the mast, and he sees her ankles, and he almost falls off the mast. They didn't have anything to be a mast, and it would be kind of dangerous for the actors because they might fall and break their heads. That is why they did not put in that part.\n\nThey also left out the horrible-est character in the world--Greene. I did not like him because he wrote a horrible poem about Orlando. The playwright Sarah Ruhl left him out because I think he was such a bad character and she just didn't want to make people feel too too too bad for Orlando.\n\nNow let's talk about Shelmerdine. Adrian Danzig was Marmaduke Bonthrop Shelmerdine, Esq. And everyday at breakfast, he told Orlando his name. And she is like, what's your name again? He is the husband of her. He is like \"I think you are a boy,\" and she says \"You are a girl.\" And then they said, \"But we have to prove it,\" and they kissed. And it looked like they were going to wrestle. And I have no idea how that would help. The kissing helped in that time because girls could not marry girls and boys could not marry boys. Now they can. Their relationship was like a really good relationship because they liked the same things. And there was this scene where she read his mind about what he did, and where he lived, and what he liked.\n\nThe set was designed by Collette Pollard. I though the set was cool because they could move around the set. So they could use the bed as a lot of things: a ship, a bed, and a flower bloomed and faded place. It was really elegant. The costumes were made by Linda Roethke. I thought they were cool because when they said \"And it was the Elizabeth times\" they put on ruffle-necks. The costumes had lots of velcro and zippers--no buttons because most of the people were different parts easily. And buttons are hard to get on and off. They had different time period outfits because Orlando lived through so many different centuries.\n\nPeople who would like this play are people who would like a long amount of kissing, and people that like boys and girls would like this play. You should expect nakedness. You should expect some funniness and some sadness. I laughed twenty five times out loud. When they did Othello, I felt very moved. And when Sasha left I felt very very sorry for Orlando. This play is more hilarious than sad though. I recommend that you should read some of the book before you see the play but not all of it because I think people would like the surprises. You should go see this because it is a very good adaptation of Orlando.\n\nFriday, March 18, 2011\n\nReview of The Master and Margarita at Strawdog Theatre Company\n\nI went to this play, and it was called\u00a0Master and Margarita.

That said, I believe it\u2019s time to move on and move into the 21st century. Wrigley needs a mojor overhaul, if not totally rebuilt. New retro looking staduims have so much to offer, why not seriously consuder it? The first option is to rebuild on the existing site and replace everything inside the foul poles. This option would require playing somewhere other than Wrigley during construction. Let\u2019s see how creative architect\u2019s are designing a new ballpark with such a small footprint.

Scotti\n\n Kevin, the Cubs have never asked for (nor do they need) the amusement tax cut. All they ever asked for was for it to be capped at the 100% sellout/highest ticket prices in the game level (i.e. the only way for the city to make more is if there is a massive investment in the park\u2013one the team has never asked the city to make).

Once upon a time these three operated together, but now the statement store is off on its own behind the new Resolver interface, while the node and string pools are accessible to the whole system. However, their unified functionality has not changed.\n\nAll three components handle transactions autonomously, managing the phases of all their underlying components. The overall Session class uses a two-phase commit operation to keep the transactions of each component in synch with the others. It is also in these top level components that the files are all managed. The files which are created and manipulated at this level are generally used by the classes at lower levels (for instance, the BlockFiles and IntFiles which are used by FreeList and AVLTree) but there are also other files which handle session locking, and persistence of phase information for the transactions.\n\nOnce I'd reached this level, I had all of the information needed to explain the data formats in each file. It was awkward to explain the structures before this stage, since several important structures (notably, the phase information) contain information from every layer. Trying to describe a single layer leaves large holes in the structure, and has led me into confusing conversations in the past when I try to skip over these holes. But at this point I was finally able to write up the file structures, one byte at a time (the values are typically 64-bit longs, but ints and bytes are occasionally used).\n\nI'd like to properly document each of these components, along with the associated file formats, but for the moment I'll just give an overview.\n\nNode Pool\nThe idea of the node pool is to allocate a 64-bit number to represent each resource in the RDF data. We call these numbers \"graph nodes\", or just gNodes. GNodes get re-used if they are freed. The re-use is for several reasons, the most notable being to prevent an numeric overflow (it also helps the string pool if there are few holes in the address space for nodes). However, a resource ID cannot be re-used if there are any old reading phases which still expect the ID to refer to the old data.\n\nThese requirements are exactly met by a FreeList, so the node pool just a FreeList along with all the code required for file management and transactions.\n\nString Pool\nThe string pool holds all of the URI References and Literals in the database. When it was first written, the only literals we stored were strings, and since URI's are also represented with a string, we called the component the \"string pool\". The string pool stores lots of other data types as well, but the name has stayed.\n\nThe string pool provides a mapping from gNodes to data objects, and from those objects back to the gNode. It also provides a consecutive ordering for data so that it can be used to easily work with a range of values.\n\nThe mapping of a gNode to the data is done with a simple IntFile. Each data element can be represented with a buffer of fixed length (overflows for long data types such as string are stored at a location referred to in this buffer). To find the data buffer for a given gNode, the gNode number is multiplied by the record size of the buffer. This is why the string pool prefers the node pool to re-use gNodes, rather than just incrementing a counter. Given that these records are all the same length, I'm not sure why a BlockFile was not used instead of an IntFile, but the effect is the same.\n\nThe mapping of data back to the gNode is accomplished by putting all data into an AVLTree. The records in this tree are identical to the records in the IntFile, with an addition of the gNode to the end of the record. The tree also provides the ordering for the data. This allows strings to be searched for by prefix, URIs to be searched for by domain, and date or numeric ranges to be found.\n\nOne problem with this structure, is that it is impossible to search for strings by substring or regex. This is why we have a resolver for creating Lucene models. However, it's been in the back of my mind that I'd love to see if I could build a string pool based on a trie structure. (Maybe one day).\n\nThe data structure holds up to 72 bytes in the record. Anything longer than this (typically a string) has the remainder stored in a separate file. We have a series of 20 files to handle the overflow, each storing blocks twice the size of the blocks in the previous file. This lets us have random access to the data, while reducing fragmentation. It also allows us to store data objects of up to several GB, though we don't expect to ever need to handle anything that large.\n\nWhen the string pool and node pool are combined, they provide a mechanism for storing and retrieving any kind of data and associating each datum with a numeric identifier.\n\nStatement Store\nThe statement store is the heart of Kowari's approach to storing RDF.\n\nEach RDF statement is stored as a quad of the form subject, predicate, object and model. We originally stored a triple of subject, predicate, object, but quickly realised that we needed the model (or graph) element as well. Again, the interfaces already existed, so the statements are referred to throughout the code as triples rather than quads.\n\nThese statements are stored in 6 different AVL trees, with each tree providing a different ordering for the statements. I've already discussed the reason for this at length. Ordering the statements like this allows use to treat the storage as an index.\n\nOf course, the representation of the statements is with the gNode IDs for each resource, rather than the resources themselves. This means that the indexes contain numbers and nothing else.\n\nWhile simple in principle, the code here is actually quite complex, as it has numerous optimisations for writing to multiple indexes at once. Unfortunately for me, several of these optimisations were introduced after I last had a hand in writing the code, so it needed a little effort for me to understand it sufficiently to explain it to others.\n\nEach of the indexes is handled by a class called TripleAVLFile. This class knows about its required ordering, and manages its own AVLFile. The nodes in this tree actually represent a range of RDF statements", "base_doc": " Gartenstein-Ross, who converted to Islam as a college student. \"No other Muslim will accuse you of not being a Muslim,\" a friend had told him. \"The thought that other Muslims would accept me as a brother in faith even if we disagreed on some theological points was comforting.\"\n\nOver time, however, Gartenstein-Ross continued to find new sets of rules to which he was expected to adhere if he wanted to see himself as a good Muslim.

The records in this tree are identical to the records in the IntFile, with an addition of the gNode to the end of the record. The tree also provides the ordering for the data. This allows strings to be searched for by prefix, URIs to be searched for by domain, and date or numeric ranges to be found.\n\nOne problem with this structure, is that it is impossible to search for strings by substring or regex. This is why we have a resolver for creating Lucene models. However, it's been in the back of my mind that I'd love to see if I could build a string pool based on a trie structure. (Maybe one day).\n\nThe data structure holds up to 72 bytes in the record. Anything longer than this (typically a string) has the remainder stored in a separate file. We have a series of 20 files to handle the overflow, each storing blocks twice the size of the blocks in the previous file. This lets us have random access to the data, while reducing fragmentation. It also allows us to store data objects of up to several GB, though we don't expect to ever need to handle anything that large.\n\nWhen the string pool and node pool are combined, they provide a mechanism for storing and retrieving any kind of data and associating each datum with a numeric identifier.\n\nStatement Store\nThe statement store is the heart of Kowari's approach to storing RDF.\n\nEach RDF statement is stored as a quad of the form subject, predicate, object and model. We originally stored a triple of subject, predicate, object, but quickly realised that we needed the model (or graph) element as well. Again, the interfaces already existed, so the statements are referred to throughout the code as triples rather than quads.\n\nThese statements are stored in 6 different AVL trees, with each tree providing a different ordering for the statements. I've already discussed the reason for this at length. Ordering the statements like this allows use to treat the storage as an index.\n\nOf course, the representation of the statements is with the gNode IDs for each resource, rather than the resources themselves. This means that the indexes contain numbers and nothing else.\n\nWhile simple in principle, the code here is actually quite complex, as it has numerous optimisations for writing to multiple indexes at once. Unfortunately for me, several of these optimisations were introduced after I last had a hand in writing the code, so it needed a little effort for me to understand it sufficiently to explain it to others.\n\nEach of the indexes is handled by a class called TripleAVLFile. This class knows about its required ordering, and manages its own AVLFile. The nodes in this tree actually represent a range of RDF statements, with a minimum, a maximum and a count. By handling blocks of statements like this, the overhead of maintaining the tree is reduced, and searching is increased by a significant linear amount (since it's linear it doesn't show up in a complexity calculation,", "perturbation_file": "privacy_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 37510, "pt_loc": 15918374, "pt_shuffle_idx": 199845329, "doc_index_f": 313274872, "doc_index_l": 313274873, "offset_f": 333, "offset_l": 1458, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 42, "pt_injection_len": 94, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [590, 1459]} -{"pt_doc": "Mike Harvey Duncan is from the United States.

They stand up to 4ft tall, with a wingspan of 20ft, and are always of a slender build, though males tend to be larger and fairly muscular. They have huge, midnight-blue, orblike eyes that lack any pupils or whites. Their hair is of an identical colour, and is usually kept long - males have a shaggy mane, while females have elegant, straight hair. They have short, pale green fur and long, leaflike ears. Males have a leonine facial structure, while females' faces more closely resemble a domestic cat's. They have a number of strange features that mark them as being extraordinary creatures of nature.\n\n Instead of feathers, their wings are composed of leaves. Atop their heads grows a small stem, from which sprouts a single large, fanlike leaf that normally arcs backwards, but can be raised to stand upright or moved as far as to cover their face. They have two small antennae that hang down from their foreheads, and between their eyes sits a large, dark lilac gemlike stone. Their wrists and ankles are wreathed in small leaves that lie back against their forearms and lower legs, and there is a single large leaf on each forearm as well, normally lying back against the elbow but can be swivelled to extend past the hand. Two prehensile vines extend above the wing joints on the leaf angel's back, and can be extended to considerable lengths. Finally, the palms on the leaf angel's hands contain a small, muscular launcher, used to propel seeds grown within the leaf angel's body. These seeds can be used as an attack, to provide food for other species, or as the leaf angel's primary means of reproduction.\n\n Leaf angels have four stages in their life cycle. Leaf angels begin the 'pod' stage of their life as a plant, on top of which grows the egg-like pod that eventually splits open to reveal the second 'child' stage, which retains all the abilities of the third 'adult' stage described above, but has a far more feline appearance, looking like a leafy cat with wings. A leaf angel child will enter a state of accelerated evolution and emerge three days later as an adult leaf angel. The last, 'wisp' stage of a leaf angel's life begins when the leaf angel's body finally dies, releasing the stone embedded in his or her head. This stone then shatters, releasing a tiny, incandescent, incorporeal, fairly-like wisp that from a distance simply looks like a point of lilac light, but when one looks closely enough one, they would see a miniaturised, ghostly version of the adult leaf angel.\n\n COMMON PROFESSION: Guardian, ranger, healer\n\n\n \u2022Various specific abilities and techniques (think Pokemon)\n\n \u2022Superior Sight and Smell - can see in total darkness and with a huge colour spectrum, can pick up faint scents and identify others by smell\n\n\n \u2022Superior Agility and Reaction Time\n\n \u2022Soul Reaction - can bind with another species to form a powerful weapon\n\n\n \u2022Various specific abilities and techniques (think Pokemon)\n\n \u2022Empathy - feels the emotions of those around them\n\n \u2022Preternatural Awareness - is aware of things they shouldn't be able to sense\n\n \u2022Premonitions - can see possible future events\n\n \u2022Magic (Light) - can use healing and light-based magic\n\n - Leaf angels are wilderness wanderers, perfectly at home with nature.

Specifically, in regards to conditions of the ESM which call for a single regulator by January 1,2013. Germany\u2019s Finance Minister has been moving away from that deadline as Germany wishes to shield its highly lucrative regional banks from a single regulator.\u00a0When the Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy met with French President Francois Hollande in Paris yesterday, they discussed banking union pledges seemingly designed for the ears of the German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble in regards to honoring commitments for common regulation.\u00a0The two met to align in respect to the conditions of the fiscal compact agreed upon by the European Union(EU) \u00a0last December. To a large degree they were making their case to the German Chancellor Angela Merkel who has made it clear that Germany along with Finland, Holland, Austria-the other A3 countries\u2013did not agree to cover \u201clegacy assets\u201d making the ESM option unavailable to Spain.\u00a0Merkel\u2019s arrival in in Greece was widely viewed as a push for enhanced cooperation\u2013an effective coercion of countries to follow policies set by a core group. \u00a0Schauble has pushed back on European lenders having a single regulator knowing full well that it would be a condition for access to allow banks\u00a0ESM recapitalisation. \u00a0This is a significant factor and was the way for Germany to eliminate Spain using the European Stability Mechanism\u2019s involvement to finance itself through bank recapitalisations\u2013that would put into question the mutualisation of loans to Spanish banks among euro-region nations\u00a0because they knew that the presentation of those commitments to the Bundestag would not pass\u2013the specific terms for banking regulation in regards to the \u00a0upcoming EU meetings.\u00a0Expect the ECB to purchase bonds in unlimited quantities to keep sovereign borrowing costs down,\u00a0while the IMF has stated that they will monitor Spain without a need for loans. This tandem effort was expected and I outlined both conditions and the respective downgrades last November in\u00a0IMF: Past and Present Protocol.\n\nThe hesitation of \u00a0Prime Minister Rajoy to request intervention clearly aided the decision to downgrade, his continued delay risks increasing the possibility of unrest and social discontent as we saw in Greece. So why doesn\u2019t he simply request the help? Rajoy is in a tough position as he made pledges to his constituency to make the necessary cuts without accepting aid and the tough measures that come with it. The Spanish PM is also probably feeling mistreated as he agreed to very stringent terms for bank rescue only to see the ESM maneuvered out of his reach. The desirability on his part to submit to additional terms for a sovereign bail out will most likely spell unrest and his ouster.\u00a0So with a request, consequently expect a tumultuous response by the citizenry as they will bridle at the measures imposed on them to receive the capital. In general, capital market participants feel that he was attempting to \u201cmuddle through\u201d until he could get under the protective firepower of unlimited ECB support from market speculators. In the event of the purchases, do not expect the spreads to stay low as central banks, sovereign funds and other institutional investors will undoubtedly remove themselves from the region. Finally, when Mr. Rajoy acknowledges the not so subtle push to request intervention by S&P and the markets\u2013he will face additional consequences as\u00a0Moody\u2019s\u00a0has stated that\u2013it will issue a downgrade as well. \u00a0The only solace for the Prime Minister Rajoy might take to heart is an old Spanish saying,\u00a0A mal tiempo, buena cara-In bad times, a face held high.\u00a0In reality he has no other choices or options.\n\n\n\n\nPost Your Comment\n\nPlease or sign up to comment.\n<|endoftext|>\nheader books\n\n\nWounded Boys/Heroic Men\n\n\nA Guide for Healing from Childhood Abuse\n\nfor Men and Their Partners\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Jay Sonkin, Ph.D.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChapter One\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n\nWounded Men, Wounded Boys\n\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The first time Sam called my office to make an appointment his voice was soft but urgent. He said that he needed to see me immediately, he had a real problem: His wife had given him an ultimatum--\"Either get into counseling or get a lawyer\"--and then she had walked out. Two days later, when I opened the door to let him into the office, I was surprised to see a 250-pound man who looked like a guard for the San Francisco 49ers.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He seemed reluctant and angry as he entered my office and I had the feeling he was not there by choice.

My wife was seeing a therapist because one of her friends was seeing one. That's probably how all the trouble started in the first place, and now I'm here.\"\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"Many men who enter into therapy for the first time think the same thing,\" I responded, and tried to reassure him that I didn't think that he was crazy. \"People seek a therapist's help for many reasons. Usually they're just looking for help with a personal problem from a person who can present them with a fresh point of view.\"\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He breathed a sigh of relief, unfolded his arms, and uncrossed his legs.

My wife follows me and keeps pushing my buttons. She says, 'Talk to me. You never talk to me.' Then I get so mad I begin to talk to her. But it's more like yelling. I kind of rant and rave.

So I just ignored her.\"\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 At this point Sam's eyes became intense, and his voice grew angry as he remembered. \"Finally she was right up in my face telling me if I wasn't going to communicate with her that there was no point being together.

Germany\u2019s Finance Minister has been moving away from that deadline as Germany wishes to shield its highly lucrative regional banks from a single regulator.\u00a0When the Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy met with French President Francois Hollande in Paris yesterday, they discussed banking union pledges seemingly designed for the ears of the German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble in regards to honoring commitments for common regulation.\u00a0The two met to align in respect to the conditions of the fiscal compact agreed upon by the European Union(EU) \u00a0last December. To a large degree they were making their case to the German Chancellor Angela Merkel who has made it clear that Germany along with Finland, Holland, Austria-the other A3 countries\u2013did not agree to cover \u201clegacy assets\u201d making the ESM option unavailable to Spain.\u00a0Merkel\u2019s arrival in in Greece was widely viewed as a push for enhanced cooperation\u2013an effective coercion of countries to follow policies set by a core group. \u00a0Schauble has pushed back on European lenders having a single regulator knowing full well that it would be a condition for access to allow banks\u00a0ESM recapitalisation. \u00a0This is a significant factor and was the way for Germany to eliminate Spain using the European Stability Mechanism\u2019s involvement to finance itself through bank recapitalisations\u2013that would put into question the mutualisation of loans to Spanish banks among euro-region nations\u00a0because they knew that the presentation of those commitments to the Bundestag would not pass\u2013the specific terms for banking regulation in regards to the \u00a0upcoming EU meetings.\u00a0Expect the ECB to purchase bonds in unlimited quantities to keep sovereign borrowing costs down,\u00a0while the IMF has stated that they will monitor Spain without a need for loans. This tandem effort was expected and I outlined both conditions and the respective downgrades last November in\u00a0IMF: Past and Present Protocol.\n\nThe hesitation of \u00a0Prime Minister Rajoy to request intervention clearly aided the decision to downgrade, his continued delay risks increasing the possibility of unrest and social discontent as we saw in Greece. So why doesn\u2019t he simply request the help? Rajoy is in a tough position as he made pledges to his constituency to make the necessary cuts without accepting aid and the tough measures that come with it. The Spanish PM is also probably feeling mistreated as he agreed to very stringent terms for bank rescue only to see the ESM maneuvered out of his reach. The desirability on his part to submit to additional terms for a sovereign bail out will most likely spell unrest and his ouster.\u00a0So with a request, consequently expect a tumultuous response by the citizenry as they will bridle at the measures imposed on them to receive the capital. In general, capital market participants feel that he was attempting to \u201cmuddle through\u201d until he could get under the protective firepower of unlimited ECB support from market speculators. In the event of the purchases, do not expect the spreads to stay low as central banks, sovereign funds and other institutional investors will undoubtedly remove themselves from the region. Finally, when Mr. Rajoy acknowledges the not so subtle push to request intervention by S&P and the markets\u2013he will face additional consequences as\u00a0Moody\u2019s\u00a0has stated that\u2013it will issue a downgrade as well. \u00a0The only solace for the Prime Minister Rajoy might take to heart is an old Spanish saying,\u00a0A mal tiempo, buena cara-In bad times, a face held high.\u00a0In reality he has no other choices or options.\n\n\n\n\nPost Your Comment\n\nPlease or sign up to comment.\n<|endoftext|>\nheader books\n\n\nWounded Boys/Heroic Men\n\n\nA Guide for Healing from Childhood Abuse\n\nfor Men and Their Partners\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Jay Sonkin, Ph.D.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChapter One\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n\nWounded Men, Wounded Boys\n\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The first time Sam called my office to make an appointment his voice was soft but urgent. He said that he needed to see me immediately, he had a real problem: His wife had given him an ultimatum--\"Either get into counseling or get a lawyer\"--and then she had walked out. Two days later, when I opened the door to let him into the office, I was surprised to see a 250-pound man who looked like a guard for the San Francisco 49ers.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He seemed reluctant and angry as he entered my office and I had the feeling he was not there by choice. I asked him to sit on the sofa. He sat down, crossed his arms on his chest, and crossed his legs. His expression challenged me: \"Okay. Do your thing, Doc.\"\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sam was probably feeling the same way I did during my first session in a therapist's office; I didn't know what to say or expect. So I made nothing of his defensive posture. Instead, I asked, \"Have you ever been to a counselor before?\"\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"Just once with my wife, but not alone,\" he said. \"In fact I've always figured that therapy was for people who were a little crazy. My wife was seeing a therapist because one of her friends was seeing one. That's probably how all the trouble started in the first place, and now I'm here.\"\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"Many men who enter into therapy for the first time think the same thing,\" I responded, and tried to reassure him that I didn't think that he was crazy. \"People seek a therapist's help for many reasons. Usually they're just looking for help with a personal problem from a person who can present them with a fresh point of view.\"\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He breathed a sigh of relief, unfolded his arms, and uncrossed his legs. I asked, \"What specifically brings you here today?\"\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"My wife left me this weekend.

My wife follows me and keeps pushing my buttons. She says, 'Talk to me. You never talk to me.' Then I get so mad I begin to talk to her. But it's more like yelling. I kind of rant and rave. After a while I just calm down.\"\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I asked how his wife felt about his \"going off by myself.\"\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"I don't know,\" he said. \"Frustrated, I suppose.

Maybe she gets pissed off,\" he said. \"She says she gets scared.\"\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Why, I asked, did he think she felt that way?\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"I think her father used to beat her up pretty badly.\"\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"And have you ever felt like hitting her?\"\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He said emphatically, \"It's crossed my mind a couple of times.\"\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Then I asked if he had ever done that.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"Well, once before,\" he said, cutting off his words.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"Can you talk about it?\"\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 During what was a long pause, I noticed that Sam was quite uncomfortable talking about what happened.

He was one of the main songwriters behind the Bubblegum Rock movement of the late 60's, and his nasally, teen-sounding voice was perfect for rockin' hits by The Ohio Express (\"Chewy, Chewy,\" \"Yummy, Yummy\") and The Katsentz-Katz Super Circus (\"Quick Joey Small\"). Fans of the Nuggets LP will know him as the leader of The Third Rail (\"Run, Run, Run\"), a more \"adult\" version of the studio musician \"bands\" that Joey staffed under Buddha Records producers Jerry Kasenetz and Jeff Katz. And who over the age of 30 doesn't remember being delighted/horrified by Reunion's \"Life Is A Rock (But The Radio Rolled Me)?\" Or getting the munchies listening to the immortal \"Trust The Gorton's Fisher-man\" jingle for Gorton's Breaded Fish Sticks?

She was unable to control her muscles and she suffered with muscle spasms and weakness. She remained positive though and despite her health condition, this inspirational woman never stopped living her life. She achieved a college diploma, got married and even had three children.\n\nSomething happened when she recently went to a new doctor who saw that her symptoms were not in alignment with cerebral palsy as the previous doctors had said, but instead a different disease that could be treated very easily with medication. Instead of being bitter about the years that she lost due to a misdiagnosis, she lives each day with joy and happiness. Jean\u2019s brother Ricardo Tosto says she is filled with gratitude, thankful for all the little things she can do now that she couldn\u2019t do before.\n\n\n\n\n\nEntire Community Comes Together to Support One Man\n\nWhat is life like for individuals with hearing impairments? How much different is life for those who can not hear the conversations that are going on around them? Those who can hear don\u2019t always think about just how much they take for granted, while those who can\u2019t hear don\u2019t realize how much they are missing out on. One community decided to come together to support a hearing impaired individual, giving him a great surprise and gift.\n\nFor a hearing impaired man in Instanbal, life will never be the same again. After missing out on so much of life due to his hearing trouble, this man now knows just what an amazing community he is living in. This man was surprised by his community when they all worked together to learn sign language in secrete. That\u2019s right, they all learned sign language so that they could communicate with him, giving him the biggest surprise of his lifetime. Jason Halpern ( knows that, even when we don\u2019t necessarily understand what others face each day, it is important for us to draw together and work hard to make their lives easier.<|endoftext|>Chewing the Bubblegum with Joey Levine\nIf you've listened to the radio or watched TV semi-regularly over the past 30 years, you've surely heard the work of Joey Levine. He was one of the main songwriters behind the Bubblegum Rock movement of the late 60's, and his nasally, teen-sounding voice was perfect for rockin' hits by The Ohio Express (\"Chewy, Chewy,\" \"Yummy, Yummy\") and The Katsentz-Katz Super Circus (\"Quick Joey Small\"). Fans of the Nuggets LP will know him as the leader of The Third Rail (\"Run, Run, Run\"), a more \"adult\" version of the studio musician \"bands\" that Joey staffed under Buddha Records producers Jerry Kasenetz and Jeff Katz. And who over the age of 30 doesn't remember being delighted/horrified by Reunion's \"Life Is A Rock (But The Radio Rolled Me)?\" Or getting the munchies listening to the immortal \"Trust The Gorton's Fisher-man\" jingle for Gorton's Breaded Fish Sticks? Once again, the work of the busy Levine.\n\nWhile the Bubblegum Rock movement has been critically lambasted for 30 years, its importance is undeniable.

When it is manipulated by the living energy, material things are produced. Matter in its crude form is therefore the latent energy of the Supreme Being. Whenever we think of energy, it is natural that we think of the source of energy. For example, when we think of electrical energy, we simultaneously think of the powerhouse where it is generated. Energy is not self-sufficient. It is under the control of a superior living being. For example, fire is the source of two other energies, namely light and heat. Light and heat have no independent existence outside of fire. Similarly, the inferior and superior energies are derived from a source, which one may call by any name. That source of energy must be a living being with full sense of everything. That supreme living being is the Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna, or the all-attractive living being.\n\nIn the Vedas the supreme living being, or the Absolute Truth, is called Bhagavan\u2014the opulent one, the living being who is the fountainhead of all energies. The discovery of the two forms of limited energies by the modern scientists is just the beginning of the progress of science. Now they must go further to discover the source of the two particles or atoms which they term material and antimaterial.\n\nHow can the antimaterial particle be explained? We have experience with material particles or atoms, but we have no experience with antimaterial atoms. However, the Bhagavad-gita gives the following vivid description of the antimaterial particle:\n\nThis antimaterial particle is within the material body. Because of the presence of this antimaterial particle, the material body is progressively changing from childhood to boyhood, from boyhood to youth to old age, after which the antimaterial particle leaves the old, unworkable body and takes up another material body.\n\nThis description of a living body confirms the scientific discovery that energy exists in two forms. When one of them, the antimaterial particle, is separated from the material body, the latter becomes useless for all purposes. As such, the antimaterial particle is undoubtedly superior to the material energy.\n\nNo one, therefore, should lament for the loss of material energy. All varieties of sense perception in the categories of heat and cold, happiness and distress, are but interactions of material energy which come and go like seasonal changes. The temporary appearance and disappearance of such material interactions confirms that the material body is formed of a material energy inferior to the living force, or jiva energy.\n\nAny intelligent man who is not disturbed by happiness and distress, understanding that they are different material phases resulting from the interactions of the inferior energy, is competent to regain the antimaterial world, where life is eternal, full of permanent knowledge and bliss.\n\nThe antimaterial world is mentioned here, and in addition information is given that in the antimaterial world there is no \u201cseasonal\u201d fluctuation.

Food stays in the stomach for a long time. Although the exact cause is not known, gastroparesis is usually seen in people who have had diabetes for a long time.\n\n\nWhat are the causes and risks of the condition?\n\nThis condition is usually caused by long-standing diabetes. Poor thyroid function, certain medications, and some viral infections can cause gastroparesis.\n\n\nWhat can be done to prevent the condition?\n\nA person with diabetes who maintains good control of his or her blood sugar is less likely to develop this condition. The healthcare provider may want to review medications which may have caused the condition, or evaluate thyroid function.\n\n\nHow is the condition diagnosed?\n\nThe symptoms are very suspicious in a person who has had diabetes for a long time. Sometimes medication is started to see if it helps the symptoms. If the medication works, the diagnosis is then assumed. A gastric emptying study, a test measuring how fast the stomach empties, can confirm the diagnosis.\n\nLong Term Effects\n\nWhat are the long-term effects of the condition?\n\nThis condition can make it very hard to control blood sugar in a person with diabetes. It can lead to a greater risk of diabetic complications.\n\nOther Risks\n\nWhat are the risks to others?\n\nThere is no risk to others.\n\n\nWhat are the treatments for the condition?\n\nEating small, frequent meals can be helpful. Avoiding fatty foods and high residue foods (popcorn, raw vegetables and fruits), which slow stomach emptying, may be helpful. Medications, such as metoclopramide (i.e., Reglan), are often used to help the stomach to move faster.\n\nSide Effects\n\nWhat are the side effects of the treatments?\n\nMetoclopramide (i.e., Reglan) can cause drowsiness and problems with muscle movement and balance.\n\nAfter Treatment\n\nWhat happens after treatment for the condition?\n\nGastroparesis is generally a life-long problem and treatment is often required for life.\n\n\nHow is the condition monitored?\n\nThe person should report any return of symptoms to the healthcare provider. The provider can order another gastric emptying study to determine how well the medications are working.\n\n\nGastrointestinal and Liver Disease, 1998, Sleisenger et al.\n\n\n\u00a0\u00a0Account set up & astute solutions guidance.\n\u00a0\u00a0Free edu catalogs for your staff & community.\n\n\n\u00a0\u00a0Publishing, marketing & lead gen programs.\n\u00a0\u00a0Vendors/Investors: full-service solutions.\n\n\n\u00a0\u00a0EZ Publish our Discovery Digest free.<|endoftext|>It's difficult to picture driving a car without a headlight, especially during nighttime.

Food stays in the stomach for a long time. Although the exact cause is not known, gastroparesis is usually seen in people who have had diabetes for a long time.\n\n\nWhat are the causes and risks of the condition?\n\nThis condition is usually caused by long-standing diabetes. Poor thyroid function, certain medications, and some viral infections can cause gastroparesis.\n\n\nWhat can be done to prevent the condition?\n\nA person with diabetes who maintains good control of his or her blood sugar is less likely to develop this condition. The healthcare provider may want to review medications which may have caused the condition, or evaluate thyroid function.\n\n\nHow is the condition diagnosed?\n\nThe symptoms are very suspicious in a person who has had diabetes for a long time. Sometimes medication is started to see if it helps the symptoms. If the medication works, the diagnosis is then assumed. A gastric emptying study, a test measuring how fast the stomach empties, can confirm the diagnosis.\n\nLong Term Effects\n\nWhat are the long-term effects of the condition?\n\nThis condition can make it very hard to control blood sugar in a person with diabetes. It can lead to a greater risk of diabetic complications.\n\nOther Risks\n\nWhat are the risks to others?\n\nThere is no risk to others.\n\n\nWhat are the treatments for the condition?\n\nEating small, frequent meals can be helpful. Avoiding fatty foods and high residue foods (popcorn, raw vegetables and fruits), which slow stomach emptying, may be helpful. Medications, such as metoclopramide (i.e., Reglan), are often used to help the stomach to move faster.\n\nSide Effects\n\nWhat are the side effects of the treatments?\n\nMetoclopramide (i.e., Reglan) can cause drowsiness and problems with muscle movement and balance.\n\nAfter Treatment\n\nWhat happens after treatment for the condition?\n\nGastroparesis is generally a life-long problem and treatment is often required for life.\n\n\nHow is the condition monitored?\n\nThe person should report any return of symptoms to the healthcare provider. The provider can order another gastric emptying study to determine how well the medications are working.\n\n\nGastrointestinal and Liver Disease, 1998, Sleisenger et al.\n\n\n\u00a0\u00a0Account set up & astute solutions guidance.\n\u00a0\u00a0Free edu catalogs for your staff & community.\n\n\n\u00a0\u00a0Publishing, marketing & lead gen programs.\n\u00a0\u00a0Vendors/Investors: full-service solutions.\n\n\n\u00a0\u00a0EZ Publish our Discovery Digest free.<|endoftext|>It's difficult to picture driving a car without a headlight, especially during nighttime.

And I really had hoped that I would have an easy baby this time around.  Miriam was so chill, I guess when I got another girl I was hoping it meant another chill one.  And Jackie is severely unchill.  She is fun too, at last, and I'm grateful I can play with her and exchange smiles and all that.  But she is really, really demanding.  I would have thought a fourth child would shrug its little baby shoulders and say \"guess I can't be high needs, with all these other kids around here,\" but nope, high needs babies don't care how many resources there are around.


How high needs is she?  Well, she spends probably half an hour per day on average wailing inconsolably, even in arms.  Sometimes it's a lot more than that.  Even when she's not crying, she's not contented -- she spends a lot of her time climbing up my body, digging her feet into my gut and clawing my face.  I have a scab on my nose where she took a chunk of skin off -- even though I'm pretty careful to cut her nails, obviously.  I have scratches and pinch marks on my belly and breasts and neck.  But if I put her down, usually, she howls.  Sometimes the swing helps.  Sometimes not.  It's good that she's getting more active so she can actually play -- Miriam and Jackie and I spend a lot of the time in the playroom while she crawls all over.  If you turn over the trampoline so she can't climb on it and fall off, and make sure the legos are put away, there isn't much trouble she can get into in there.  Even then, though, she spends a lot of her time using me to pull to a stand, then grabbing my face or hair.

I'm just kind of looking forward to things getting easier.  Like when she's two, or maybe three.  I've never had no kids under three.  Imagine the things I could do.

And there she goes.  Awake again.  In the time she was asleep, I wrote point 7.  I did not clean up the lunch mess in the kitchen, or use the bathroom, or carry the laundry upstairs.  I prioritized this post, and I may be sorry.


On the other hand, she has a blond curl on the top of her head.  Were my other kids this blond at this age, and was their hair so long?  It could not have been. *rubs face in baby hair*  It's not all bad.

Trying to think of words to describe Miriam, I feel like I can't without talking first about what a dark place it was she brought light into.  It was, in many ways, a bad time to get pregnant; Michael was still extremely needy and I felt I couldn't possibly handle another so soon.  I spent a big chunk of the pregnancy crying.  My page-a-day journal has several months of blankness where I would try to think of something to put down for the day but couldn't think of anything that wasn't horribly depressing.

Her labor was a horrifyingly stressful experience, but she arrived in the middle of misery and was perfect from the first moment.  Her first achievement was being a girl -- I had tried and tried not to get my hopes up, but I really wanted a girl and there she was.  She was healthy, dark, and blue-eyed, just like all of them.



The first weeks of her life were a nightmare for me -- sickness among the family, stepping on a bee, fights breaking out among her brothers -- but she, herself, was zero trouble.  Mostly she slept and ate.  She had no trouble nursing at all; she liked nursing but wasn't ridiculous about it like Michael.  She was several weeks old before she ever cried.  That includes her baptism and the heel stick by the midwife.  At most she might make a little fussy sound.  She just wasn't fazed by much.

In fact, inspecting the form of Robert May\u2019s classic model of intergenerational lags in fitness effects, Allen and Star point out that May\u2019s formal model has the form of an analog acoustic filter in sound engineering! In general, the concept of non-nested hierarchy couldn\u2019t be more helpful for explaining how natural systems could gradually evolve more complex integrated structures. How this applies to the human niche\u2013specifically with spatial, temporal, and social non-nested hierarchical structures\u2013will become clearer with some of the examples below (I hope).\n\n\nI\u2019ll start with a well-understood connection to my main area of expertise, Paleolithic archaeology. Archaeologists Glynn Isaac and Lewis Binford were especially influential in integrating ethnographic information about hunter-gatherer societies with research on our Paleolithic prehistory, and they implicitly emphasized the hierarchical structure\u2013in spatial, temporal, and social dimensions\u2013of small-group daily foraging combined with home-base/mobile camp food preparation and sharing. Isaac\u2019s main point was that in human evolution, along with the evolution of stone-tool-making and hunting behaviors in the late Pliocene or early Pleistocene, the foraging \u201chome base\u201d would have been at the center of a complex behavioral nexus supporting cooperative hominin groups. Hunting and gathering behaviors are best understood not just in terms of searching for and getting food, but also bringing food back to home bases. Thanks to Isaac\u2019s insights and arguments, we almost take for granted this cooperative-foraging/food-transport/sharing behavioral system as obviously constituting an evolutionarily emergent foundation of human society. But this system is subtly complex. Binford further helped to put hunter-gatherer mobility patterns into evolutionary perspective. Frequent formation and movement and re-establishment of residential camps can structure socially based hominin adaptations over larger foraging territories. Thus, the hierarchical structure starts to come into focus. We tend to have a multi-level hierarchical pattern in human hunter-gatherer experience\u2013mapped out in space, time, and social networks. Here, daily routines are hierarchically structured \u2026 and then daily and seasonal patterns of residential moves through territories and with a larger configuration of allies and kin constitute the annual round at the next hierarchical scale.\n\nLet us consider the hierarchical structures of this behavioral system in ethnographically documented hunter-gatherers more carefully. Returning our focus to niche-adaptation co-evolution, might we be able to separate out what\u2019s niche, what\u2019s adaptation, and how they might have influenced each other? I would suggest that the hierarchical structures interconnecting humans across the landscape, through time, and in varied social network configurations have constituted an aspect of niche that imposes clear selective pressures on embodied and social cognitive functions. In turn, because the selective pressures are on embodied and social cognitive capacities, the resulting symbolically structured experience of landscape, time, and social relationships can become part of the niche itself. Let\u2019s consider the spatial, temporal, and social aspects in turn, just in the context of daily foraging, food transport, and processing/consumption routines.\n\nFirst, spatial hierarchy. Even in highly mobile hunter-gatherer societies, the daily routine is recognizable. Food search and acquisition involves following a novel path (Yellen 1977), potentially covering several kilometers from the home base and back. Yet, the home base is a spatially fixed landscape anchor, at least on a time scale of days, weeks or months. Spatially, the home base strongly \u201cfilters\u201d the distances and locations involved food-search, food-capture, field processing, and transport behaviors. In turn, impact on food resources in the area around the camp dynamically filters cooperative decision-making to stay or move camp. However, the strength of the filtering effects tends to be asymmetric, so that social central-place food processing and consumption maintains a hierarchical influence over foraging behaviors. And importantly, the hierarchical spatial relationship between home base location and area covered in foraging and food transport is not strictly nested. Groups can establish a seasonal camp by a nut grove or tuber-rich lake shore, so that the hierarchical camp-foraging relationship can temporarily disappear for a matter of days or weeks, at least in certain seasons of the year. In early Stone Age prehistory, it would have been more common\u2013in many environments\u2013for hominin groups to snack more while foraging (eating as they went), so that the filtering effect of the mobile residential camp on foraging and transport would have been weaker and more variable. Still, this spatial hierarchy involving foraging behaviors diverges from the eat-as-you-go pattern we see across the rest of the primate order, including behaviors exhibited by chimpanzees and bonobos, our closest living relatives.\n\nSecond, home-base or residential-camp foraging involves an intrinsically embodied socio-temporal hierarchy, in that food acquisition and consumption are thus more often substantially separated (of course, ethnographically documented hunter-gatherers snack on raw or rapidly processed foods in the field, but most food is consumed after transport to the residential camp). Delayed consumption is a conspicuous, altruistic behavioral adaptation. And again, it structures the human niche in terms of temporal hierarchy within daily embodied routines. The fitness benefit of such altruistic behavior\u2013despite carrying risks of inviting aggressive, continuous, or simply emotionally irritating theft or begging\u2013comes in terms of the recurrent reciprocity payoffs of sharing food at the residential camp (Winterhalder 1986). But consider the social implications of this temporal daily-routine cycle, with leaving and returning to the base camp. With what would presumably be a fission-fusion process on this timescale of hours, smaller foraging groups would tend to include close allies or kin, and time spent would involve mainly cooperative behavior. Episodes of attempted free-loading, cheating, intimidation or attempted theft during a foraging trip would have a greater cost for all involved. Foraging group members would generally be working harder, be hungrier, and to the extent that cooperation improves food search and acquisition efficiency, any attempt to free-load or cheat could thus provoke rapidly escalating aggressive conflict. We would expect foraging trips to involve mainly consensus decision-making and cooperation, with more occasional episodes of bitter conflict. In contrast, the larger base-camp experience would be a period of negotation, more complex (and potentially less reliably accurate) information exchange about reputation of many group members, along with recuperation and the experience of satisfying or limiting hunger. In brief, hunter-gatherer routines would tend to have a non-nested (that is, not strictly) hierarchical separation of more focused, consensus-built small group foraging activities, and more dynamic, emotionally variable, socially intense camp experiences. The emphasis on sharing, reconciliation, gossip, consumption, rest, and less relevance for high levels sensory alertness (monitoring signs for prey, predators, or other important opportunities and dangers) entails that time in camp is less sensitive to what happened on each and every foraging trip. It should be clear that, on the one hand, this is a non-nested hierarchical structure of foraging and consumption behavior that is evolutionarily uniquely derived compared to other primates, but on the other hand, the emphasis is on \u201cnon-nested.\u201d As such, the hierarchical temporal structuring of experience as part of the niche in hominins is something that must have evolved gradually over time. This is a topic worth exploring in much greater depth! What was the timing, tempo, and mode of this particular socio-temporal aspect of hominin niche construction?\n\n\nIf we begin with this common space-time-social-configuration hierarchical structure to daily routine in human foraging societies, then we can easily begin to see how space, time, and social interaction exhibit complex hierarchical structure at higher scales. We can even consider that common cultural representations may often emphasize nested hierarchical ideals, and these can actually serve as ideological symbols in negotiating exchange, allegiance, future plans, or declarations of shared identity. In other words, members of a group may think or speak of the boundaries of their foraging territory, with landscape beyond that imagined boundary being, by definition, the rest of the universe, so that logically, the nesting relationship is: our total foraging territory and other hunter-gatherer groups\u2019 total foraging territories fit into the larger conceptual category of the universe. But in reality, group composition, cultural representations of group identity, and the position of asserted, desired, or agreed-to territorial boundaries all shift. So, embodied routines and experiences interact with cultural representations, tending to produce beliefs or values reifying the notion of hunter-gatherer group territory.\n\nMore generally, the hierarchical spatial, temporal, and social structures of embodied routines in group contexts will never follow a strictly nested pattern. In fact, on the level of daily routine, even when logistical mobility practices are uncommon, foraging trips might result in an overnight stay. Sometimes, individuals or groups won\u2019t even go out to search for food, reversing the spatial, temporal and social associations of food search/acquisition trips versus staying in the residential camp. So instead, non-nested hierarchical spatial, temporal, and social structures of behavioral routines are statistical patterns in populations or individual life-history patterns that develop over time. Along with cultural representations of such hierarchical structure, the complex asymmetric relational structure of routines and their multi-dimensional rhythms are part of the", "base_doc": " constitute a non-nested hierarchical system, in which older generations have a net greater influence on the fitness of younger ones, in a non-nested, asymmetric pattern. In fact, inspecting the form of Robert May\u2019s classic model of intergenerational lags in fitness effects, Allen and Star point out that May\u2019s formal model has the form of an analog acoustic filter in sound engineering! In general, the concept of non-nested hierarchy couldn\u2019t be more helpful for explaining how natural systems could gradually evolve more complex integrated structures. How this applies to the human niche\u2013specifically with spatial, temporal, and social non-nested hierarchical structures\u2013will become clearer with some of the examples below (I hope).\n\n\nI\u2019ll start with a well-understood connection to my main area of expertise, Paleolithic archaeology. Archaeologists Glynn Isaac and Lewis Binford were especially influential in integrating ethnographic information about hunter-gatherer societies with research on our Paleolithic prehistory, and they implicitly emphasized the hierarchical structure\u2013in spatial, temporal, and social dimensions\u2013of small-group daily foraging combined with home-base/mobile camp food preparation and sharing. Isaac\u2019s main point was that in human evolution, along with the evolution of stone-tool-making and hunting behaviors in the late Pliocene or early Pleistocene, the foraging \u201chome base\u201d would have been at the center of a complex behavioral nexus supporting cooperative hominin groups. Hunting and gathering behaviors are best understood not just in terms of searching for and getting food, but also bringing food back to home bases. Thanks to Isaac\u2019s insights and arguments, we almost take for granted this cooperative-foraging/food-transport/sharing behavioral system as obviously constituting an evolutionarily emergent foundation of human society. But this system is subtly complex. Binford further helped to put hunter-gatherer mobility patterns into evolutionary perspective. Frequent formation and movement and re-establishment of residential camps can structure socially based hominin adaptations over larger foraging territories. Thus, the hierarchical structure starts to come into focus. We tend to have a multi-level hierarchical pattern in human hunter-gatherer experience\u2013mapped out in space, time, and social networks. Here, daily routines are hierarchically structured \u2026 and then daily and seasonal patterns of residential moves through territories and with a larger configuration of allies and kin constitute the annual round at the next hierarchical scale.\n\nLet us consider the hierarchical structures of this behavioral system in ethnographically documented hunter-gatherers more carefully. Returning our focus to niche-adaptation co-evolution, might we be able to separate out what\u2019s niche, what\u2019s adaptation, and how they might have influenced each other? I would suggest that the hierarchical structures interconnecting humans across the landscape, through time, and in varied social network configurations have constituted an aspect of niche that imposes clear selective pressures on embodied and social cognitive functions. In turn, because the selective pressures are on embodied and social cognitive capacities, the resulting symbolically structured experience of landscape, time, and social relationships can become part of the niche itself. Let\u2019s consider the spatial, temporal, and social aspects in turn, just in the context of daily foraging, food transport, and processing/consumption routines.\n\nFirst, spatial hierarchy. Even in highly mobile hunter-gatherer societies, the daily routine is recognizable. Food search and acquisition involves following a novel path (Yellen 1977), potentially covering several kilometers from the home base and back. Yet, the home base is a spatially fixed landscape anchor, at least on a time scale of days, weeks or months. Spatially, the home base strongly \u201cfilters\u201d the distances and locations involved food-search, food-capture, field processing, and transport behaviors. In turn, impact on food resources in the area around the camp dynamically filters cooperative decision-making to stay or move camp. However, the strength of the filtering effects tends to be asymmetric, so that social central-place food processing and consumption maintains a hierarchical influence over foraging behaviors. And importantly, the hierarchical spatial relationship between home base location and area covered in foraging and food transport is not strictly nested. Groups can establish a seasonal camp by a nut grove or tuber-rich lake shore, so that the hierarchical camp-foraging relationship can temporarily disappear for a matter of days or weeks, at least in certain seasons of the year. In early Stone Age prehistory, it would have been more common\u2013in many environments\u2013for hominin groups to snack more while foraging (eating as they went), so that the filtering effect of the mobile residential camp on foraging and transport would have been weaker and more variable. Still, this spatial hierarchy involving foraging behaviors diverges from the eat-as-you-go pattern we see across the rest of the primate order, including behaviors exhibited by chimpanzees and bonobos, our closest living relatives.\n\nSecond, home-base or residential-camp foraging involves an intrinsically embodied socio-temporal hierarchy, in that food acquisition and consumption are thus more often substantially separated (of course, ethnographically documented hunter-gatherers snack on raw or rapidly processed foods in the field, but most food is consumed after transport to the residential camp). Delayed consumption is a conspicuous, altruistic behavioral adaptation. And again, it structures the human niche in terms of temporal hierarchy within daily embodied routines. The fitness benefit of such altruistic behavior\u2013despite carrying risks of inviting aggressive, continuous, or simply emotionally irritating theft or begging\u2013comes in terms of the recurrent reciprocity payoffs of sharing food at the residential camp (Winterhalder 1986). But consider the social implications of this temporal daily-routine cycle, with leaving and returning to the base camp. With what would presumably be a fission-fusion process on this timescale of hours, smaller foraging groups would tend to include close allies or kin, and time spent would involve mainly cooperative behavior. Episodes of attempted free-loading, cheating, intimidation or attempted theft during a foraging trip would have a greater cost for all involved. Foraging group members would generally be working harder, be hungrier, and to the extent that cooperation improves food search and acquisition efficiency, any attempt to free-load or cheat could thus provoke rapidly escalating aggressive conflict. We would expect foraging trips to involve mainly consensus decision-making and cooperation, with more occasional episodes of bitter conflict. In contrast, the larger base-camp experience would be a period of negotation, more complex (and potentially less reliably accurate) information exchange about reputation of many group members, along with recuperation and the experience of satisfying or limiting hunger. In brief, hunter-gatherer routines would tend to have a non-nested (that is, not strictly) hierarchical separation of more focused, consensus-built small group foraging activities, and more dynamic, emotionally variable, socially intense camp experiences. The emphasis on sharing, reconciliation, gossip, consumption, rest, and less relevance for high levels sensory alertness (monitoring signs for prey, predators, or other important opportunities and dangers) entails that time in camp is less sensitive to what happened on each and every foraging trip. It should be clear that, on the one hand, this is a non-nested hierarchical structure of foraging and consumption behavior that is evolutionarily uniquely derived compared to other primates, but on the other hand, the emphasis is on \u201cnon-nested.\u201d As such, the hierarchical temporal structuring of experience as part of the niche in hominins is something that must have evolved gradually over time. This is a topic worth exploring in much greater depth! What was the timing, tempo, and mode of this particular socio-temporal aspect of hominin niche construction?\n\n\nIf we begin with this common space-time-social-configuration hierarchical structure to daily routine in human foraging societies, then we can easily begin to see how space, time, and social interaction exhibit complex hierarchical structure at higher scales. We can even consider that common cultural representations may often emphasize nested hierarchical ideals, and these can actually serve as ideological symbols in negotiating exchange, allegiance, future plans, or declarations of shared identity.

The patient falls to the ground if not supported, with vasodepressor syncope, the episodes are usually of sudden onset and brief. There are many causes of syncope, but the majority of pediatric syncopal episodes are benign. This chapter focuses on vasovagal (or vasodepressor syncope).\n\nThe most common symptoms of vasovagal (or vasodepressor syncope) are dizziness, light-headedness, and pallor. The next most common symptoms of vasodepressor syncope are related to autonomic activity and include nausea, perspiration, tachycardia, and anxiety.\n\nThe main concerns regarding syncope are:\n\n1. Establishing the cause and ruling out other pathological causes.\n\n2. Ensuring safety and avoiding injury to self and others with a recurrent episode.\n\nHistory and Physical Examination\n\nA history that suggests vasovagal syncope should be obtained. Questions asked include:\n\nDid the patient have any preceding symptoms or prodrome? Was the patient standing for a prolonged period of time before the syncopal event? Was the patient standing up quickly after prolonged bed rest? Was there associated pain or symptoms? Was the patient in a warm environment? Was the patient in a crowded room? Was the patient having a blood test or witnessing a blood draw? Was the patient in a stressful academic testing environment or anxious?\n\nOther causes of syncope must be considered and ruled out prior to establishing a diagnosis of vasovagal syncope. These are discussed below.\n\n\nWhat was the patient\u2019s activity at the time of syncope? Symptoms with exercise are ominous and are suggestive of other causes of syncope, such as arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, or left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Syncope with exercise has to be evaluated completely due to the potential risk of a significant recurrence. Episodes with exercise should be evaluated thoroughly before resuming activity.\n\nHad the patient been fasting? Was there sufficient fluid intake on the day of the event?\n\nThe description of the patient's appearance during the episode by any accompanying witnesses. Was the patient pale and/or diaphoretic? How did the syncopal event develop and what was the description of the event by witnesses? Did the patient slump to the ground or did the patient hurt him or herself in the fall to the ground?\n\nHow did the patient recover? Did the patient need a painful stimulus or a sternal rub to wake up? Did the patient require any resuscitation? Was there postictal drowsiness?\n\nHas the patient had any intercurrent illness accompanied by fever or dehydration?\n\nHave there been any previous syncopal episodes?\n\nAre there any other signs or symptoms, such as muscular weakness?\n\nAre there associated symptoms, such as seizure activity or twitching, incontinence, or headaches?\n\nIs there a past medical history that may suggest a metabolic disorder?\n\nIs there a possibility that the patient may be pregnant?\n\nIs there any recent weight loss to suggest thyrotoxicosis, eating disorder, use of stimulants?\n\nIs the patient on any medication? For example, is the patient on stimulants? Is the patient on a diuretic, beta blocker, or a medication that prolongs the QT interval?\n\nIs there a history of drugs or alcohol use?\n\nIs there a past medical history to include congenital heart disease, which may predispose to arrhythmias and/or sudden death?\n\nIs there a family history of familial dysautonomia?\n\nIs there a family history of hypertension? In those families, a low salt diet may be the cause of vasovagal syncope in a child or teenager.\n\nIs there a family history that may suggest a cardiac cause? This should include questioning about any history of cardiac disease, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, need for pacemaker or implantable cardiac defibrillators, and sudden or unexplained death. A family history of congenital deafness raises the possibility of prolonged QTc (Jervell Lang Nielson syndrome). A family history of seizures should also be sought.\n\nPhysical Examination\n\nIt is important to recognize that the physical examination may not reflect any orthostatic changes if the patient is not seen soon after the episode of syncope. The purpose of the physical examination is to evaluate for findings suggestive of orthostasis and intravascular depletion and more importantly, to evaluate for other possible causes of syncope.\n\nPhysical examination:\n\nThe blood pressure should be obtained in the supine and standing position with the blood pressure taken after the patient has been standing 10 minutes. The blood pressure should be stable after standing for 10 minutes. However in vasodepressor syncope there may be a persistent significant change in blood pressure. A normal cardiac examination and a decrease in blood pressure with an increase in heart rate support the diagnosis of vasodepressor syncope.\n\nAn abnormal cardiac examination or atypical features raise the possibility and concern of a cardiac cause, and further evaluation is necessary.\n\n \u2022 Evaluate the point of maximum impulse (PMI) for cardiomegaly.\n\n \u2022 Evaluate for a hyperactive precordium.\n\n \u2022 Evaluate heart sounds and murmurs.\n\n \u2022 Is there any evidence of heart failure such as a third or fourth heart sound, or pulses paradoxus?\n\n \u2022 Is there a carotid bruit?\n\n \u2022 Evaluate four-limb blood pressure and pulses to rule out a coarctation of the aorta.\n\n \u2022 Is there an abnormal second heart sound and/or click that may suggest pulmonary hypertension?\n\nSigns of heart failure such as pulmonary edema, jugular venous distension, or crackles should be noted.\n\nA complete neurological examination should be performed, as neurological disease may present with a syncopal episode. Is there evidence of weakness or asymmetry, signs of upper motor neuron disease, cranial nerve abnormalities, signs of raised intracranial pressure, or evidence to suggest a seizure has occurred, e.g., tongue biting? Are there signs of peripheral neuropathy or signs of exposure to toxins?\n\nAre there needle marks to suggest drug use or raising the possibility of infective endocarditis?\n\nIf the patient presents to the emergency room with syncope, are there signs of diabetes mellitus or evidence of insulin administration? Are there signs of trauma from the syncopal episode? Trauma during a syncopal episode cannot be ignored and suggests that the syncope is not benign.\n\nA complete physical and cardiac examination should be performed with an emphasis on: Vital signs, including heart rate for bradycardia or tachycardia, evaluation of possible abnormal rhythm, abnormal temperature to suggest an infectious process, blood pressure and respiratory rate. An increased respiratory rate may suggest a cardiac cause such as poor cardiac output secondary to a cardiomyopathy.\n\nAn anxious patient may also have signs suggestive of hyperventilation. The pulse amplitude may be diminished, suggesting poor cardiac output or aortic obstruction or increased, suggesting aortic regurgitation or high output failure.\n\nOxygen saturation to evaluate for possible hypoxia is recommended.\n\nWhat other diseases/conditions share some of these symptoms?\n\nAlthough vasodepressor and orthostatic syncope are the most common causes of syncope, there are many other causes that have to be considered in the differential diagnosis. These include cardiac and non-cardiac syncope", "base_doc": "\nHere's \u00a0a sinkhole that has been getting worse each day.\n\nThis is particularly a problem for several reasons:\n\n 1.

The responses in the past have often been of poor quality\u2014\u00a0\n\nBut the move back to the director of nursing, which is the normal way it's done right throughout the NHS, that's much better, because it offers the opportunity for clinical learning, which was missing when it was with corporate services. And I think that happened when Gill Harris came. She'd be able to tell you more about that, if she comes next month. But that's an improvement for the positive, and we hope to see more.\u00a0\n\nOkay. We need to make some progress, Oscar. Did you have any further questions?\u00a0\n\nJust finally, to what extent do the complaints help to influence service improvements in Betsi now? \u00a0\n\nIt's very early days. I think they call it a PAS system\u2014\u00a0\n\nIt's the same as the English PAL system\u2014they call it PAS. \u00a0\n\nYes, a patient advisory and support system, I think it is. I think it's very early days yet. In fact, I actually don't believe it's been incorporated fully at all the sites yet.\u00a0\n\nNo, it's been at Glan Clwyd, and I heard on Friday that they're taking it to Wrexham Maelor now.\u00a0\n\nSo, in terms of the patient experience, the impact across the whole health board is actually currently quite low.\u00a0\n\nI just wanted to move on to mental health services, and I wondered if you could tell us what progress has been made since our report in February 2016. I note that you've made three visits to Bryn Hesketh ward, the last one being, according to this, on 8 May 2017, where you were quite critical of obviously the staffing levels in particular. Could you just explain whether you think things have improved since then, because that's quite a long time ago, and whether no further visits have been made since then?\u00a0\n\nWe visit a great deal right across the spectrum of services. So, yes, there have been visits to other mental health services since then\u2014plenty. We can provide you with a programme.\u00a0\n\n\nI think there have\u2014\u00a0\n\nWe pulled those out specifically because they illustrated a point, not because they were the last ones we did.\n\nThere was a good response to that. We had a positive answer. We heard about what they were going to do to improve it. Staffing levels were a bit of a moving target for them. It's difficult for them to recruit staff. I don't know whether that's because it's difficult for them to retain staff. Staffing levels are an issue right across mental health services in north Wales and any other service you care to speak of.\n\nOkay. Your report in May 2017 is saying the unit is staffed by a number of bank and agency staff. As far as you're aware, has that changed?\n\nIt could have changed there. As I say, it's a moving target\u2014they plug one gap and another appears somewhere else.\u00a0\n\nWe can find out for you.\n\nI think that's one of those ones where, if you want that detail, we'll find out and send it back to you.\n\nSince special measures, we've had a better quality of response when we express concerns. We don't have a big backlog of reports that we've sent into to them and not got\u2014.\n\nThey are responding to queries. They're responding to adverse reports.\n\nOkay, thank you very much. Obviously, there's been correspondence between Donna Ockenden and the health Minister, and she reports that she continues to be contacted by service users and their representatives and staff about the little progress being made. What correspondence have you had from any of these stakeholders?\n\nWe hear things when we go on visits. We have complaints and I've included some of those complaints in the document, or alluded to those complaints in the document pack. We often have conversations with staff on all sorts of wards about their concerns. And we take those forward on an anonymous basis. So, staff will talk to us about staffing levels, about quality of estates issues, and we will take those up as part of the report. Very often, we have success on that, and then staff want to talk to us more.\u00a0\n\nOkay. Donna Ockenden's highlighting concerns about the rate of improvement and the capability and capacity of the board. But we've had more positive indications from the Minister for health, both in July and November. So, as you're on the ground in north Wales, could you just tell us whether noticeable improvements are being made?\n\nWe share many of the views of Donna Ockenden and the reason we're here is because of the slow progress. We believe progress has not been quick enough. There's been a great deal of work done around policies, but that needs to be translated onto the ground. I've included issues of complaints we've had around mental health and, clearly, for those patients, they're not seeing the improvement.\n\nThere are degrees of improvement. There has certainly been improvement. I wouldn't support anybody who said there had been no improvement whatsoever. But sometimes things fall back, sometimes new issues come up. We're not where we need to be with mental health. I don't think even Betsi Cadwaladr would disagree with that.\n\nOkay. But from your perspective, would you say that the Minister for health's reports of improvement, and indeed the Welsh Governments officials who we saw last week, I think, who are saying that there had been substantive improvements in mental health\u2014? Do you think those are accurate?\n\nI don't know if I'd go as far as to say substantive improvements. There are improvements in lots of areas, but, equally, there are other issues that come up, that have come up in the last three and a half years, that weren't there at special measures. So, there's a variety of issues.\n\n\nOkay, but I'm focusing on mental health here. Have there been improvements?\n\nThere have been some improvement. There have been some improvements, yes.\n\nIf I may, Chair, from my perspective, I think an awful lot of effort has gone into planning and strategy, and that's to be commended\u2014I spoke about that earlier. I think the problem is: actually translating that into action on the ground, as it were, has been very slow, so it's actually been very slow to be reflected in the patient experience. I spoke at the start here of the patient experience, and I think in many cases that hasn't been the case. We had a services planning committee meeting last week, and in that the health board were keen to mention some of the things that have been mentioned here today in terms of service improvement. But one of our members was keen to point out that a person who lives in their community, if they have some difficulty with their mental health, they still feel as if they're, to some degree, bounced around the system. And he was also keen to mention that young people who are suspected of having autism\u2014\n\nWe're drifting into different areas. Okay. I wondered if you could just send us any reports of visits you've done since May 2017, because I think those observations will be fresh.\n\nWe can send you reports that are very positive, and we can send you reports that show problems, and we'll send you\u2014\n\nIf you could organise for that to be sent to the committee, that would be good. Rhianon Passmore, do you have a brief supplementary?\n\nYes. In that regard, then, you mentioned that there's not a large backlog of reports\u2014\n\n\u2014that were adverse, from your behalf, to the health board. So, is there still an issue in regard to their response to you as a community health council, in terms of your reportage, in terms of your visits? Or is that not an issue? Would you like it improved?\n\nWe'd always like it improved. Our reports are dealt with in a timely way. They are taken seriously. Now, sometimes, the problem is resolved in that particular ward, but we see it still in other wards, and sometimes we go back to the ward a year later and we find the same problem.\n\nSo how much, endemically, then, is this down to the fact that you've underscored\u2014and it's our understanding as well\u2014that there are issues around capacity of the workforce in this regard? Because, if the operational plans are in place, it's about embedding that, and if you don't have a consistent workforce and if that is a major issue in this very large organisation, then how much is that down to\u2014?\n\nI think staffing is a major issue. That's not unique to Betsi Cadwaladr. Staffing in all sorts of areas is fragile. Recruitment is difficult. I think in these particular specialties, mental health particularly, turnover is higher than anywhere else. As far as we're concerned, efforts are being made to improve the service, but we seem to get stuck, as Mark has mentioned, at the policy creation side. So, we see a policy created, it's done very well in terms of engagement, and the policies are all well thought through, and", "base_doc": "?\n\nHistorically, the failing has been in the timeliness of the responses, the quality of the responses, and really that's it.

So, as you're on the ground in north Wales, could you just tell us whether noticeable improvements are being made?\n\nWe share many of the views of Donna Ockenden and the reason we're here is because of the slow progress. We believe progress has not been quick enough. There's been a great deal of work done around policies, but that needs to be translated onto the ground. I've included issues of complaints we've had around mental health and, clearly, for those patients, they're not seeing the improvement.\n\nThere are degrees of improvement. There has certainly been improvement. I wouldn't support anybody who said there had been no improvement whatsoever. But sometimes things fall back, sometimes new issues come up. We're not where we need to be with mental health. I don't think even Betsi Cadwaladr would disagree with that.\n\nOkay. But from your perspective, would you say that the Minister for health's reports of improvement, and indeed the Welsh Governments officials who we saw last week, I think, who are saying that there had been substantive improvements in mental health\u2014? Do you think those are accurate?\n\nI don't know if I'd go as far as to say substantive improvements. There are improvements in lots of areas, but, equally, there are other issues that come up, that have come up in the last three and a half years, that weren't there at special measures. So, there's a variety of issues.\n\n\nOkay, but I'm focusing on mental health here. Have there been improvements?\n\nThere have been some improvement. There have been some improvements, yes.\n\nIf I may, Chair, from my perspective, I think an awful lot of effort has gone into planning and strategy, and that's to be commended\u2014I spoke about that earlier. I think the problem is: actually translating that into action on the ground, as it were, has been very slow, so it's actually been very slow to be reflected in the patient experience. I spoke at the start here of the patient experience, and I think in many cases that hasn't been the case. We had a services planning committee meeting last week, and in that the health board were keen to mention some of the things that have been mentioned here today in terms of service improvement. But one of our members was keen to point out that a person who lives in their community, if they have some difficulty with their mental health, they still feel as if they're, to some degree, bounced around the system. And he was also keen to mention that young people who are suspected of having autism\u2014\n\nWe're drifting into different areas. Okay. I wondered if you could just send us any reports of visits you've done since May 2017, because I think those observations will be fresh.\n\nWe can send you reports that are very positive, and we can send you reports that show problems, and we'll send you\u2014\n\nIf you could organise for that to be sent to the committee, that would be good. Rhianon Passmore, do you have a brief supplementary?\n\nYes. In that regard, then, you mentioned that there's not a large backlog of reports\u2014\n\n\u2014that were adverse, from your behalf, to the health board. So, is there still an issue in regard to their response to you as a community health council, in terms of your reportage, in terms of your visits? Or is that not an issue? Would you like it improved?\n\nWe'd always like it improved. Our reports are dealt with in a timely way. They are taken seriously. Now, sometimes, the problem is resolved in that particular ward, but we see it still in other wards, and sometimes we go back to the ward a year later and we find the same problem.\n\nSo how much, endemically, then, is this down to the fact that you've underscored\u2014and it's our understanding as well\u2014that there are issues around capacity of the workforce in this regard? Because, if the operational plans are in place, it's about embedding that, and if you don't have a consistent workforce and if that is a major issue in this very large organisation, then how much is that down to\u2014?\n\nI think staffing is a major issue. That's not unique to Betsi Cadwaladr. Staffing in all sorts of areas is fragile. Recruitment is difficult. I think in these particular specialties, mental health particularly, turnover is higher than anywhere else. As far as we're concerned, efforts are being made to improve the service, but we seem to get stuck, as Mark has mentioned, at the policy creation side. So, we see a policy created, it's done very well in terms of engagement, and the policies are all well thought through, and then there seems to be just this impasse of getting it from policy stage to being embedded in the culture of the organisation, and to making changes for the benefit of patients. It's not just us making that criticism; it's widely held within north Wales\u2014within the third sector, for example\u2014that Betsi Cadwaladr create a good policy, but then, do they go on and deliver it?\n\nCould I just", "perturbation_file": "privacy_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 57142, "pt_loc": 30793331, "pt_shuffle_idx": 131916101, "doc_index_f": 206762664, "doc_index_l": 206762664, "offset_f": 4436, "offset_l": 6484, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 88, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": "Ann Morgan is from the United States.

A new perspective on metabolic transformations intimately linked to membrane trafficking in plants is emerging.\nautophagy; ER stress; ER body; autophagosome; ATG proteins; exocyst; anthocyanins; vacuole; secondary metabolites; salicylic acid; phytohormones; exosomes\n\n1. Introduction: Intravacuolar Neutral Red Stained Bodies Have an Autophagic Origin\n\nMajor progress was achieved over the last two decades in the understanding of membrane and cargo transport to the vacuole; this certainly is the best studied domain of the endomembrane trafficking in plants [14]. Yet, even in this field, there are big outstanding questions, such as, e.g.,: what is the status and \u201contogenesis\u201d of two (in some cases, possibly more) different types of vacuoles in the same cell; how many membrane transport pathways connect to the tonoplast, and how are they regulated [5]?\n\nHere, we will focus on recently emerging direct endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to vacuole pathway mediated by autophagy-like membrane transport containers, which transport cargo to the vacuole, bypassing the conventional Golgi-trans-Golgi network (GA-TGN) pathway. We use the category of \u201cautophagy-like\u201d or \u201cautophagy-related\u201d mechanisms to make a distinction from the concepts of the basal vs. induced autophagy or general vs. selective autophagy (mostly the organellar degradation pathway) as defined by [6] to highlight the possible basal housekeeping membrane and cargo trafficking functions of the autophagy-related pathway between ER and vacuole in plant cells.\n\nPlant vacuoles are known to contain many large intravacuolar bodies, including membranous ones. These can be stained by neutral red dye and have been named neutral red stained bodies (NRSBs). Despite many efforts, the origin and function of these compartments remains mysterious. As demonstrated by Figure 1A, NRSBs are quite large and can represent a significant volume transported into the vacuole. What is also apparent is that NRSBs are much larger in the anthocyanin accumulating cells (here, around the stomata). It has been shown before that these bodies are related to anthocyanin vesicular inclusions (AVIs) [7]. In Figure 1B, we can see an Arabidopsis vesicle tethering complex subunit exo70B1-2 mutant, lacking both NRSBs and anthocyanins in the central vacuole.\n\nThe origin of the NRSBs was indicated to rely on autophagy processes, as the mutants in the autophagic pathway display decreased accumulation of both NRSBs and anthocyanins [79]. If we put these observations together with the reports on GA-independent import from ER into the vacuole (recently reported by [10,11]), it becomes apparent that, except for conventional pathways for vacuolar trafficking via GA, plants have developed a novel mechanism, which is adjusted to the enormous size of the vacuole and the extreme amounts of secondary metabolite cargoes. In many species, intravacuolar bodies contain large amounts of anthocyanins and are termed anthocyanin vesicular inclusions (AVIs). The literature on the trafficking of anthocyanins represents an important insight into the biology of intravacuolar bodies in general.\n\n2. Anthocyanins and the Anthocyanin Vesicular Inclusions\n\nAnthocyanins are secondary flavonoids, synthesized at the cytoplasmic site of the ER [12,13]. They are a very suitable low molecular weight cargo to be studied, as their autofluorescence resembles red fluorescent protein (RFP) and, as such, is amenable to microscopic tracking [14]. Direct import of anthocyanins into the vacuole is mediated by GST-ligandin transporters, namely TT19 of Arabidopsis [15]. Blocking the import of anthocyanins into the vacuole by inhibition of GST-ligandins (by buthionine sulfoximine, which inhibits glutathione synthesis or 1-chloro-2-4-dinitrobenzene, resulting in competitive inhibition of GST-ligandin transporters) did not result in the complete loss of intravacuolar anthocyanin accumulation, but in an increase of the number of AVIs [14]. Based on this observation, it was concluded that an alternative vesicle membrane container/vesicle (most probably a double-membrane)-mediated pathway exists and involves autophagic steps [14]. This hypothesis is supported by observations that several atg mutants (atg5, atg9, atg10) show anthocyanin accumulation defects, accompanied by a decreased number of neutral red stained bodies (NRSBs) and anthocyanin vesicular inclusions (AVIs) [7]. Despite these observations, the formation of intravacuolar bodies still remains enigmatic, as well as the possible cargoes transported.\n\n3. Autophagic Tubes in Plants: Microautophagy with Macro Consequences?\n\nIn grapevine or maize, it was noticed many times that anthocyanins first start to accumulate in small tubular or vesicular bodies, later developing into larger bodies by fusion or vacuolar autophagy [1619]. Similar tubular structures have been also observed in Eustoma grandifolium [20] or apple skin [21]. These bodies often contain numerous smaller compartments, indicating the complexity of the whole pathway. It has been speculated many times that the tubular structures accumulating anthocyanins form a network, strongly resembling the ER or ER-derived vesicles. Evidence for this was shown by co-localization of the GFP-HDEL (ER retention amino acid peptide fused to green fluorescent protein) with anthocyanin autofluorescence [14,17].\n\nOn the other hand, the position of these bodies and tubes in the tonoplast invaginations deep inside the vacuole and the dependence of AVI formation on autophagic machinery indicate that they may be a plant version of autophagic tubes, previously described in yeast [22]. Here, we would like to propose a hypothesis that phytochemical accumulation mechanisms in plants are partly mediated by autophagic tubes (Figure 2). Autophagic tubes represent a specific starvation-induced form of microautophagy. The tubes are branched, containing transmembrane protein-rich necks and lipid rich tips [22]. From these tips, intravacuolar autophagic bodies are budding. Surprisingly, not much is known about analogous tubes in plants despite the fact that such structures clearly exist (see Figure 2, [23,24]). These tubules are clearly distinct from the spherical vacuolar blobs, which contain a small vacuole or vacuolar domain instead of the cytoplasm [25]. The lack of information about such plant structures may be due to the lack of appropriate molecular markers. As was documented by in vitro yeast vacuole reconstitution assays, uptake of the cargo by autophagic tubes is not dependent on Vam3p and Vam7p, which are required for macroautophagy, nor on any other conventional component of the homotypic vacuole fusion [26]. The mere fact that the tubes persist on isolated vacuoles also documents their independence of the microtubule cytoskeleton [22,26]. This was also confirmed by the minimal effect of microtubular drugs [27].\n\nOn the other hand, yeast autophagic tube uptake is dependent on the guanosine triphosphate (GTP), membrane potential and autophagic machinery [26]. The precise role of autophagic machinery in autophagic tunnel formation is not known. It has been speculated before that it may be the membrane bending and shaping, associated with autophagy or the pinching off the budding autophagic body, which is also the only rapamycin-sensitive step [27]. It is tempting to speculate that the negative membrane curvature needed for such bending may be mediated by Exo70 proteins, as was recently shown in mammalian cells [28].\n\nThe model we are proposing here, in which ER subdomains (filled by phytochemicals) develop within autophagic tunnels (Figure 2B), explains many phenomena observed previously; for example, globular and fibrillar structures of AVIs, decreased AVI formation in autophagic mutants or the variety of shapes and sizes observed. Furthermore, a similar lipid composition of the AVI membrane and tonoplast [16] suggests that a form of microautophagy is responsible for the formation of these compartments. In this context, the effect of 3-methyl adenine, an inhibitor of Class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases on AVI formation [14], is also expected, as the source of the membrane for the autophagic tunnel is the tonoplast itself.\n\nThe physiological function of such tubular cellular compartmentalization might be that such tubules, being narrow and dead-ended, represent a location protected from the continuous cytoplasmic streaming, so that multiple enzymes attached to the cytosolic face of the ER might have an undisturbed, higher, local substrate/intermediate concentration.

After Magneto and Mystique, he\u2019s the villain that appears most often in the XMU, and unlike those two mutants, Stryker is never portrayed as an antihero. He\u2019s a piece of shit through and through, starting with his first film appearance in X2, where he drugs mutants into doing his bidding, attacks Xavier\u2019s School For Gifted Youngsters, and tries to use Charles Xavier\u2019s telepathic abilities to kill all mutants on the planet. Maj. Stryker plans to accomplish that by using the psychic illusions created by his mutant son, Jason, who is also the source of the mind-control drug because Stryker is the worst dad ever. The combined forces of the X-Men, Magneto, and Mystique stop Stryker\u2019s plot, and Magneto chains the villain to a concrete block where he dies in the rush of water from the broken Alkali Lake dam.\n\n\nVarious films after X2 have explored Stryker\u2019s relationship with mutantkind in the past. In the original XMU timeline, Stryker worked with Bolivar Trask to capture mutants that were experimented on during the early stages of the Sentinel program, as shown in the first two acts of X-Men: Days Of Future Past. After Mystique assassinates Trask, Stryker creates his mutant strike force, Team X, and continues to experiment on mutants with the Weapon X and Weapon XI programs (X-Men Origins: Wolverine). In the altered timeline after X-Men: Days Of Future Past, Stryker reappears to kidnap some mutants again in X-Men: Apocalypse, and it\u2019s revealed that the Weapon X program is still active in the new continuity and still responsible for giving Wolverine his adamantium skeleton.

Once you start eating healthy fare, you will not take as much pleasure in heavy foods because you used to. You will then be eating with nutrition and not as it makes you want to feel better mentally.\n\nNuts can be quite a nutritious in the event the correct choices. A small serving of a few natural almonds include a lot of fiber and delicious crunch to your daily diet.\n\nThis grain has 14 grams of high protein by weight. You may use Quinoa in several unique dishes utilizing Quinoa.\n\nMake certain to thoroughly cook your dishes well. This might help break down carcinogens they feature that could damage your entire body. Watch your health to determine if it influences how your metabolism.\n\nThe healthiest eaters understand the worth of a great dessert. Healthy sweets can fill the emptiness when done properly. You may also crunch a honey graham cracker into your parfait in order to add crunch.\n\nYou do not have to give your website favorite fried foods or candies to attain good nutrition during pregnancy, but you'll have to limit just how much of them you eat. Don't feel guilty if you indulge from time to time, however it is necessary to keep a wholesome nutritious diet in any way times that will have added benefits for the baby.\n\nYou do a disadvantage in the morning in case you don't eat breakfast. A lot of individuals mistakenly feel that skipping a meal will bring about weight reduction. You may actually consume many more calories than if you'd eaten a healthy breakfast at the beginning of the day.\n\nBuy lots of frozen veggies in abundance, so that you'll always have some available. They thaw fast and can be tossed in with beef dishes or served as part of nearly every meal. Freezing them prevents them from spoiling before you're able to use them.\n\nSweet potatoes provide you with too many carbohydrates like standard potatoes. You're able to eat them rather than mashed potatoes or french fries from them. Eat them using a little bit of sugar.They also have wholesome, unlike the potatoes that may cause inflammation.\n\nHave you got a couple cheat days.

It's possible to cut out smoking cream and use the fruit smoothies as replacements. Make a yummy smoothie from fruit, some yogurt, and then forget about that boring ice cream.\n\nAn excellent way of ensuring you are getting enough fruit and vegetables necessary on a daily basis is to work with a juicer. Adding vegetables to your juice gives it a much healthier treat. Adding ginger to an apple juice and carrot beverage can add zing to your own drink. A half of a jalapeno could likewise be used to spice up your own drinks.\n\nSplit every plate to separate parts. This will enable you isolate each of the number of food groups. Half of this plate must have salad or vegetables, 1 quarter must have starches, and the last quarter can consume starch. This balance is important in helping you keep your nutrition levels.\n\nLots of people don't take into consideration just how much alcohol consumption when evaluating their nourishment. They may keep nutritious habits all week and then ruin their gains in one night. Think about the simple fact that a single beer may contain well over a hundred calories inside. Think how that adds up over the number of calories you will consume in case you've got three or more in 1 night. Moderation is the primary keys to nutrition.\n\nConsuming less beef and eating more meals can improve your nutrition.\n\nDiscover how to tell if your appetite was satisfied.

After Magneto and Mystique, he\u2019s the villain that appears most often in the XMU, and unlike those two mutants, Stryker is never portrayed as an antihero. He\u2019s a piece of shit through and through, starting with his first film appearance in X2, where he drugs mutants into doing his bidding, attacks Xavier\u2019s School For Gifted Youngsters, and tries to use Charles Xavier\u2019s telepathic abilities to kill all mutants on the planet. Maj. Stryker plans to accomplish that by using the psychic illusions created by his mutant son, Jason, who is also the source of the mind-control drug because Stryker is the worst dad ever. The combined forces of the X-Men, Magneto, and Mystique stop Stryker\u2019s plot, and Magneto chains the villain to a concrete block where he dies in the rush of water from the broken Alkali Lake dam.\n\n\nVarious films after X2 have explored Stryker\u2019s relationship with mutantkind in the past. In the original XMU timeline, Stryker worked with Bolivar Trask to capture mutants that were experimented on during the early stages of the Sentinel program, as shown in the first two acts of X-Men: Days Of Future Past. After Mystique assassinates Trask, Stryker creates his mutant strike force, Team X, and continues to experiment on mutants with the Weapon X and Weapon XI programs (X-Men Origins: Wolverine). In the altered timeline after X-Men: Days Of Future Past, Stryker reappears to kidnap some mutants again in X-Men: Apocalypse, and it\u2019s revealed that the Weapon X program is still active in the new continuity and still responsible for giving Wolverine his adamantium skeleton. The young X-Men released Wolverine from his cage, but Stryker still manages to escape, free to return whenever mutants need capturing.\n\nPlayed by: Josh Helman in X-Men: Days Of Future Past and X-Men: Apocalypse, Danny Huston in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and Brian Cox in X2\n\nCurrently, William Stryker is: Plotting how he can make those meddling mutants pay the next time.\n\n\nWhere will we see him next? There are no plans for William Stryker to show up in the future, but the guy gets around, so he could appear in any number of upcoming projects, from the next X-sequel to Deadpool 2.

Technology will provide for the development of alternative sources of energy. The only impediments to renewables are political inaction, individuals believing their actions won\u2019t change anything, and the incumbency of conventional energy sources.\n 3. Social activism is key for political change. Without individuals coming together to demand better, cleaner sources of energy, change will occur slowly, if at all.\n\nImagine you have been asked by the White House to help create a national \u2018Future of Energy & Environment 101\u2019 educational campaign designed to reach the general public.\n\nFirst; what might be the top few \u2018Myths or Misperceptions\u2019 associated with the future of energy that you need to dispel? In other words- first identify what you think is misunderstood by the public- then tell me how you might correct this misinformation.\n\n\u00a0A few myths that need to be dispelled are that nuclear energy is not a safe form of energy, renewables aren\u2019t going to help our energy supply, and that using less energy is the same as being energy efficient.\n\nAdvancements in recent nuclear technology have made the Generation III plants safer, and have provided for fuel improvements, thermal efficiency, and a more standardized design, all of which greatly improve the safety and efficiency of nuclear power plants. They have also improved the lifetime of the reactors which allows for longer operation of plants and a higher return on investment. The current nuclear plants in the United States are older and will be shut down in the future. With better regulations regarding placement, design, and types of power plants, this can be an environmentally clean way of providing energy to the public. Due to the poor placement of the reactors at Fukushima Daiichi plant, a major earthquake triggered a tsunami, and while the safety precautions worked correctly, there was still a disaster because the backup generators were not built in a way that would withstand a tsunami. Japan is one of the countries that have the highest risk of an earthquake occurring. Nuclear power plants should never be placed near fault lines or where earthquakes have consistently occurred in the past. The regulators in Japan had not adopted global safety standards which led to decreased structural integrity of the plant and its backup systems. Currently, in the United States there are 5 nuclear power plants near known earthquake hotspots on the West Coast. I would advocate that they be shut down, or be required to go through an extremely rigorous regulation process which will include ensuring proper backup energy systems in cases of emergency shut downs that will keep the fuel rods cool, thus preventing a meltdown. This regulation process should also include a review of structural integrity and contingencies for natural disasters.\n\nRenewable energy sources will play a major part in the future due to technological advancements that are occurring at an increasingly rapid pace. We have already seen how quickly technology can improve in the case of the personal computer, which depend on microprocessors. The quality of your microprocessor depends on the number of transistors: the more transistors there are, the better a computer is. According to Moore\u2019s Law, the number of transistors in a computer will double approximately every two years. The same general theory can be applied to technology in other areas such as increased efficiency in solar panels, higher capacity fuel cells that can be used to account for downtime, increased ability to transmit electricity over longer distances through technological advancements in materials that lessen resistance to flow, and advancements in nanotechnology which could completely change the game of renewable energy.\n\nBeing energy efficient doesn\u2019t mean you just turn your lights off when you leave a room. This is energy conservation. Energy efficiency is getting more bang for your buck, more usage out of less electricity generation, which then reduces the amount of fuel required by power plants, which in turn is better for the environment. This also follows the same general principal of Moore\u2019s Law, where advancement in efficient technology will be increasing at a faster rate as time goes on. The more energy efficient appliances in a household, the lower your electricity bill. This does not mean using your AC less, but rather making the AC unit better.\n\n\u00a0Second; what do you believe are the five (5) most important concepts that every person should know about the future of energy? (e.g. GDP + Population growth = Energy Demand, difference between \u2018growth\u2019 vs \u2018market share\u2019, carbon pricing schemes, et al). This list is your vision, but please be sure to explain the value of each concept and why you selected it as a Top 5! Remember, blend specific course material with your own ideas. \u00a0Tie in names of people/stakeholders and content we\u2019ve covered! You may include concepts not yet covered in the course but be sure to provide research support or links to sources if it helps us as graders.\n\n 1. Human population growth and the development of currently underdeveloped countries will increase the demand for energy worldwide. This will cause an energy shortage/crisis because fossil fuels are a finite resource, and once conventional sources are depleted, unconventional sources become even more expensive to develop.\n 2. Individual human impacts on the environment will play a large role in the future of energy despite the fact that each individual decision seems to have no impact on the whole system. Eventually, all of the small choices that are made will add up into a larger impact that is felt globally. These large impacts on the human race will cause individuals to come together as a society and demand a change in energy sources. Essentially, it will get to a point where negative environmental effects will be seen on a scale where individuals will demand change from their governments in the form of social revolution.\n 3. The Law of Diminishing Returns, or the S-curve, will have a major role in the development and production of the types of energy used in the future. When it is no longer profitable for companies to sell wood, they move on to coal. When coal is no longer profitable, they change their product to natural gas. When natural gas becomes too cost prohibitive, the energy industry will move on to the next emerging energy source.\n 4. The amount of money being subsidized by the U.S. government is not in an effort to drop prices on renewable sources of energy, but to increase employment and output of capital. This is a short term effect, and it is this effect that will eventually, in the long run, reduce prices on renewable fuels. In essence, subsidies of renewable energy are a long term investment in our energy future. This also stabilizes the market, making it less vulnerable to market fluctuation, thus allowing renewable energy to focus on technological development, rather than the forces of supply and demand. This idea of economics was proposed by John Maynard Keynes, a revolutionary economist who is considered to be the founder of modern macroeconomics: Keynesian Economics. (Blinder)\n 5. As more and more countries agree that there must be a price on carbon, and move to implement those policies, there will be economic pressure on energy companies to develop cleaner technology in an effort to avoid the carbon tax. This carbon tax must be akin to principles of the income tax, a progressive taxation system in which the burden of taxation increases as income increases. There can be no loopholes or it will fail. If a regressive taxation system is implemented, it will hurt the poorest individuals and companies the most. This reduces the impact of the carbon tax by making rich companies pay less of the total tax burden. Rich companies would then be able to simply write off the tax as the cost of doing business rather than investing in cleaner technology so they can avoid having to pay the tax.\n\nDescribe the transition from conventional to unconventional hydrocarbon supplies. What does it mean for dynamics of supply, production, emissions, costs, geopolitics, et al? Describe both perceived benefits and trade-offs with this transition.\n\nConventional hydrocarbons are fossil fuels that are easy to extract from the ground, oil and gas that flows easily out of the underground reservoir. Unconventional hydrocarbon extraction requires that, in order for the fossil fuels to flow easily, humans must cause it to happen. Hydraulic fracturing is a prime example of unconventional natural gas extraction, where shale formations are fractured with explosives in order to release the trapped gas. Another prime example of unconventional hydrocarbons are tar sands, or oil sands, where the oil is not a pure liquid, but is mixed with clays, sands, water, and a heavy, black, viscous oil called bitumen. Because these unconventional hydrocarbons require extra steps to reap the benefits of extraction, it costs more to pump and refine the hydrocarbons. There is also an environmental impact because the processes used to get the unconventional sources to market end up releasing more greenhouse gases than conventional oil sources, usually due to extra combustion in the refinement process. The ecosystem is often damaged by the removal of unconventional sources, sometimes beyond repair. Due to removal of natural vegetation (trees, grasses, shrubs, etc.) in the case of tar sands, a sink for CO\u00ad2 is being taken away, and natural habitats are destroyed, which can lead to extinction of many species. In the case of hydraulic fracturing, toxic chemicals, along with water and sand, are pumped down wells, then extracted, and either stored underground or taken to hazardous waste facilities.

Please keep that in mind.\n\n25 - MAKE The last program you'll want to learn before we really get started is \"make\". I'm not going to cover makefiles themselves on this particular page, but the command line options. The long story short is, make is used for writing small scripts that can compile your code in different ways. Most commands and scripting options are merely actual CLI programs unrelated to make.\n\nFirst is \"-B\", which you'll slowly come to find as important. The main purpose of makefiles over, say, a batch or script is to let make automatically decide whether or not to recompile a file. If you have 20+ file each with thousands of lines of code, and if you're also applying optimization flags, you're going to be spending alot of time waiting for the compiler to get done, which is especially annoying for small changes. \"-B\" basically overrides it's automatic detection, because sometimes it fails to see changes for whatever reason (varies per OS).\n\nNext is \"--debug=b\" or \"--debug=v\" which make it tell you about which files it's updating and not updating. Most cases \"b [basic]\" is fine, and \"v [verbose]\" is only necessary for special situations. You'll want it when you're suspecting files aren't updating to make sure you need to use \"-B\" before actually doing so.\n\nAnd then we have \"-e\" which allows us to add information to the makefile when we're using the makefile. Your makefile will ultimately have to be written to make no assumption that the person using your makefile (if you distribute your code, and this could include yourself 5 months down the line) will know what extra options to pass, though. Could be useful for adding some extra things during the development process, rather than for the end product.\n\n\"-j\" followed by a number (separated by a space) is useful just about everywhere other than DOS (so keep this in mind), because it will allow multi-threaded execution of the makefile.

The stern, ice-blooded nun exacts swift discipline on the children without a drop of charity. Young Sister James (Adams), a sweet-hearted, new teacher at the school, has yet to become hardened and embittered by her circumstances.\n\nA new priest, Father Flynn (Hoffman), arrives at the parish and Sister Aloysius takes an immediate dislike to his liberal ways. When Sister James confides to Sister Aloysius that she suspects Flynn is sexually abusing a twelve-year-old male student, the principal\u00a0sets a determined course to have\u00a0the priest removed from the parish.\n\nThis is a riveting\u00a0film from start \u00a0to finish. Streep, Hoffman, Adams, and Davis all give outstanding, Oscar-nominated performances. Shanley\u2019s fine script also received an Oscar nomination. Did Flynn actually molest the boy? The audience is left guessing. What about the priest\u2019s pride in his long fingernails? Absolutely twisted!

Please keep that in mind.\n\n25 - MAKE The last program you'll want to learn before we really get started is \"make\". I'm not going to cover makefiles themselves on this particular page, but the command line options. The long story short is, make is used for writing small scripts that can compile your code in different ways. Most commands and scripting options are merely actual CLI programs unrelated to make.\n\nFirst is \"-B\", which you'll slowly come to find as important. The main purpose of makefiles over, say, a batch or script is to let make automatically decide whether or not to recompile a file. If you have 20+ file each with thousands of lines of code, and if you're also applying optimization flags, you're going to be spending alot of time waiting for the compiler to get done, which is especially annoying for small changes. \"-B\" basically overrides it's automatic detection, because sometimes it fails to see changes for whatever reason (varies per OS).\n\nNext is \"--debug=b\" or \"--debug=v\" which make it tell you about which files it's updating and not updating. Most cases \"b [basic]\" is fine, and \"v [verbose]\" is only necessary for special situations. You'll want it when you're suspecting files aren't updating to make sure you need to use \"-B\" before actually doing so.\n\nAnd then we have \"-e\" which allows us to add information to the makefile when we're using the makefile. Your makefile will ultimately have to be written to make no assumption that the person using your makefile (if you distribute your code, and this could include yourself 5 months down the line) will know what extra options to pass, though. Could be useful for adding some extra things during the development process, rather than for the end product.\n\n\"-j\" followed by a number (separated by a space) is useful just about everywhere other than DOS (so keep this in mind), because it will allow multi-threaded execution of the makefile. The number is the number of threads (distributed instances of make) you want to use. You'll want to set this to the number of \"cores\" or processors you have. This is not a mandatory option, but it's particularly useful when compiling a large project for the first time (usually someone else's since you might have alot of .o files left over from yours).\n\n\"--assume-new=[filename here]\" is like \"-B\", except it only applies to one specific file that is named. Generally, you also pass a \"target\" as an argument as well. For example \"make run\" to make the program and run it or \"make clean\" to get rid of the .o files and the program itself.

The Report, which does not exempt the United States from consideration in some of its sections, assesses countries' efforts to fight drug trafficking and money laundering during the previous 12 months.\n\nAccording to this year's report, the governments of Bolivia, Burma and Venezuela \u201cfailed demonstratively\u201d in their counternarcotics efforts to fight drugs.\n\nBolivia has failed to implement adequate controls on coca leaf growing, which lead to an increase in coca and potential cocaine production.\n\nBurma is a top heroin producer, second only to Afghanistan, states the report. Burma's ruling military government allows armed groups to traffic in drugs with minimal risk of interference in their traditional geographic enclaves.\n\nAnd due to Venezuela's \"permissive and corrupt environment,\" it has become a major drug transit country. According to the report, in 2010, Venezuela was \"one of the preferred trafficking routes out of South America to the Eastern Caribbean, Central America, the United States, Europe and western Africa.\"\n\nThe report also found that while the United States was the main destination for illicit drug shipments, Western Europe was the world's largest market for cocaine. Russia was also found to be suffering from the highest level of opiate abuse in Europe.\n\nThe manufacture, trafficking and use of synthetic drugs have significantly increased in east and Southeast Asia in the past 2 years. Some 25 percent of all injecting drug abusers in the world live in East and Southeast Asia.\n\nCannabis is still the drug most widely produced, trafficked and abused in Africa, with some 5 to 10 percent of 16 to 64 year olds partaking of the drug. East Africa is an important transit route for smuggling heroin from Asia to Africa, and cocaine smuggling through Africa to Europe is on the rise.\n\nThe illicit drug trade is a deadly game for any country. Like a disease attacking a weakened immune system, the drug trade exploits conditions of economic, social or institutional underdevelopment and flourishes in an atmosphere of governmental corruption.\n\nThe United States encourages regional cooperation against narcotics trafficking, and partners with countries around the world determined to combat the international drug trade.<|endoftext|>Lou Dimmick is from the United States.

It has argued that the scheme is causing foreign nationals and black and minority ethnic groups of all nationalities to experience nationality and race discrimination.\n\nJCWI asked the court to declare that, pursuant to section 4 of the Human Rights Act 1998, the scheme is incompatible with Articles 8 and 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights (the ECHR). JCWI argued that Articles 8 and 14 of the ECHR were engaged by the scheme, that the scheme causes landlords to behave in a discriminatory way and that it cannot be justified because it is not a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.\n\nThe judge agreed in all respects.\n\nIt was held that Article 8 of the ECHR was engaged by the scheme on the basis that race discrimination is regarded \u201cwith particular anathema and if \u2026 the legislation is causing landlords to discriminate on grounds of race then I consider that the ECHR would agree that the bar should be set low in determining whether the scheme comes within the ambit\u201d.\n\nAs part of the supporting evidence JCWI and the Residential Landlords Association, the Equality and Human Rights Commission and Liberty (who joined the case as intervenors) had carried out a number of surveys and \u201cmystery shopper\u201d exercises. The judge held that taken together, the evidence strongly showed that not only were landlords discriminating against potential tenants on the grounds of their nationality and ethnicity but that they were doing so because of the scheme. Therefore the judge concluded that it was eminently reasonable to conclude that the scheme could cause landlords to behave in a discriminatory manner.\n\nIn respect of government responsibility, the judge took the view that the scheme did not merely provide the occasional opportunity for private landlords to discriminate but actually caused them to do so where otherwise they would not. He felt that the sanctions and penalties landlords potentially faced for contravention of the scheme had caused them to react in an entirely \u201clogical and wholly predictable way\u201d. The Government\u2019s safeguards of online guidance and telephone advice were in his view, \u201cineffective\u201d.\n\nThe judgment concluded that not only was the scheme not compliant with the ECHR, it leads landlords down the path of discrimination and causes them to act in a way which is incompatible with it. On this basis the judge granted a declaration of incompatibility with the ECHR.\n\nThe judgment also included a declaration of irrationality as to expanding the scheme beyond England into Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.\n\nWhat happens now?\n\nA declaration of incompatibility has no binding legal effect on the parties. Nor does it remedy the breach of the ECHR. In fact the law remains as it is drafted so, for the time being, landlords (and their agents) must continue to make right to rent checks. The only consequence is to trigger the possible exercise by the Government of the power to take remedial action. However, the statement by the judge that the scheme was effectively not salvageable in terms of ECHR compliance by any remedy means that the whole scheme is never likely to be compliant.\n\nThe government has been granted permission to appeal \u201call aspects of the judgment.\u201d If the Government decides not to appeal the decision, or if the judgment is upheld on appeal, the government will have to amend the right to rent rules to make sure they are compatible with the ECHR.\n\nThe Government\u2019s right to rent consultative panel will be meeting in April where they will look at how the scheme operates with the aim of providing further guidance to agents and landlords.<|endoftext|>What is the FDA 510(k) clearance for surgical robots ?\n\nSeveral surgical robots get the FDA 510(k) clearance, which means they are proven to be equivalent to the already-approved surgical techniques.\n\nHere is a story behind the FDA approval. \u00a0ISS could not get through \u00a0FDA approval procedures because they claimed their surgical robot, robodoc, used a new kind of surgical techniques.

Generally, the dealers did not know in advance the exact prices they would receive for their fish until after they shipped them to market. Even when the retailers or wholesalers would quote a price to the dealer prior to shipment, they would often renege and offer a lower price once the dealer arrived with the fish.\n\n\nIf the supply of fish was particularly heavy, dealers sometimes froze a certain portion of the fish and stored them for resale at a later time, in the hope that prices would rise once the supply of fresh fish slacked off. This form of price speculation carried certain extra burdens possible damage to the fish during the holding period, the normal market risks accompanying any form of price speculation, and the additional capital requirements necessary to build and maintain a freezing house and its equipment. Because of these extra burdens, the Pinders, as well as most other fish dealers in this area of Florida, did not have freezing equipment and the storage facilities necessary for keeping frozen fish for long periods of time. Hudgins, on the other hand, did have some freezing and storage equipment and facilities.\n\n\nAlso important to an understanding of this case is the method by which the fish prices were set. Commercial fishermen, the dealers, and the wholesalers and retailers all had a hand in setting the price. Wholesalers and retailers helped to set the maximum price by pricing dealers' fish at the markets. Because of the cost of transportation and storage, it may be presumed that the dealers had little leverage in this phase of the pricing operation, although they might improve their position somewhat by freezing a portion of their fish.\n\n\nBecause the dealer did not know the exact price at which he could sell his fresh fish until he had already shipped them to market,5 he normally did not pay the commercial fishermen for their fish until after the price had been determined in the retail and wholesale markets. Instead, when the fishermen brought in their fish, the fish were sorted by species and weighed, and the amount and type of fish brought in by each fisherman was recorded. Then, if the fish were to be shipped on the fresh fish market, the fish would usually be gutted, iced down, and shipped on refrigerated trucks to market. After the dealer sold his fish to the wholesaler or retailer, he would calculate the price to pay the fishermen, after deducting his expenses and a profit. Several days after the fish were originally caught, the dealer would prepare a statement for each fisherman who brought fish to him, which stated the fisherman's name, the type of fish he brought in, the number of pounds per species, dockside price per pound, any deductions for advances, and total amount for all fish weighed in during the preceding week. Fishermen were then paid on Fridays or Saturdays, receiving a copy of this statement with their check.\n\n\nIf the fish were to be frozen for later resale, the fishermen would be paid on the same schedule, but the price paid would be a reflection of the anticipated price (less dealer expenses and profits) which the dealer hoped to sell the fish for during the off-season.\n\n\nIn spite of the apparent impotence of the fishermen in this pricing mechanism, they really possessed the power to set the minimum acceptable price, by their concerted refusal to fish when the price fell below a certain point.6 Often, this minimum pricing decision was reached as a result of a consensus of fishermen through a fishermen's organization. Once the pricing decision was made, the fishermen would generally give the dealers advance warning of this minimum price.7 Although the dealers tried to negotiate these prices, they were usually either forced to accept these minimum prices, or, if they found that they could not market the fish at the quoted minimum while still making a profit, they would tell the fishermen not to bring in any fish that day. This was known as \"shutting down\" the fishermen.\n\nPlaintiffs' Specific Allegations\n\nCuttin' Bait\n\n\nThe specific facts surrounding this controversy between the Pinders and Hudgins were hotly contested, with each side putting on a variety of witnesses in support of its position. For the sake of clarity and for ease of discussion, we will organize these facts in three-groups (i) the alleged takeover of the Pinders' Jupiter Marina fish house, (ii) the alleged marketing arrangement set up by Hudgins, and (iii) Hudgins' alleged boycott of the Pinders.\n\n\n\nThrough the testimony of John Tiff, the former manager of the Jupiter Marina, where the Pinders' fish house is located, plaintiff attempted to show that Hudgins tried to break the Pinders' lease. Tiff testified that Al Bowe, an employee of Hudgins, asked him in May 1971, \"what kind of a lease Pinder had and if there was any way it could be broken so they could come in there * * *.\" Tiff also stated that Bowe said that \"(i)f we could get a lease here we will build a fish house and guarantee so much a month.\" He also reported that Bowe stated that \"(w)e want to put Mr. Pinder out of business if it is at all possible.\" Finally, Tiff testified that Bowe asked him if it was permissible for Hudgins to bring a truck into the marina to pick up fish over-the-wall. Tiff stated that he gave Bowe permission to do so. Tiff stated that it was never made clear who Bowe's \"we\" included, but that he, Tiff, assumed it included Hudgins, Bowe's employer.\n\n\nTo counteract the testimony of Tiff, defendant put Al Bowe on the stand. Bowe testified that he did ask Tiff whether there was any way he could get the Pinders' lease, but that he never said \"we, Hudgins, wanted him (Pinder) out of there.\" Instead, Bowe testified that \"I was planning to go into business there (in the Jupiter Marina) for myself and I wanted no part of it unless Pinder was completely off of that property.\" He further testified that his conversation with Tiff began with Tiff telling him that the owner lessor of the marina \"was getting ready to throw him (Pinder) out and did I (Bowe) want * * * the lease?\" Finally, Bowe testified that he did in fact open up a fish house for himself in Jupiter.\n\n\nThe plaintiffs next put on testimony showing that Hudgins came to Jupiter Marina, and took fish over-the-wall into a truck parked next to the marina. Dorothy Pinder, co-plaintiff, testified that Hudgins paid higher dockside prices than the Pinders during this time, so that many of the fishermen who had once fished for the Pinders began fishing for Hudgins.\n\n\nHudgins did not deny that he began this over-the-wall operation, but asserted that he did so at the request of some of the fishermen. He also noted that he was compelled to close down when the Pinders complained to municipal authorities that he was operating without a valid license. Hudgins testified that when he attempted to obtain a valid license, he was told by the authorities that they were not issuing any more licenses because the Pinders had the only available license in Jupiter. Thereupon, Hudgins returned to the West Palm Beach area from which he usually operated, but continued to buy fish at a higher dockside price than did Pinder. Upset at losing fishermen to Hudgins, the Pinders erected a sign at their Jupiter fish house that read: \"Any fishermen that fishes for Hudgins cannot fish for Pinder.\"In February 1972, the Pinders closed their Port Salerno fish house, and in April 1972, closed another business, leaving the Jupiter and Rivera fish houses as production points. Defendant claimed that this was done because the Pinders had wanted to get out of the fish business for years.\n\nThe Marketing Arrangement\n\n\nThe Pinders testified that in 1972 Hudgins agreed to buy all the Pinders' production which would otherwise have gone to out-of-state markets for a minimum price of five to six cents per pound over the dockside price Hudgins paid his fishermen. According to the Pinders, the arrangement precluded them from selling directly to the New York market, but Hudgins would sell part of this production to the Pinders' former New York wholesale purchaser. The Pinders also testified that the arrangement precluded them from selling any fish to freezers.\n\n\nThe Pinders next testified that five fish dealers, other than Hudgins, were eventually brought into the arrangement. The Pinders explained that, during a meeting to discuss the details of this arrangement, Hudgins disclosed that his fishermen had told him that the minimum price they would accept for their fish for the coming winter run would be thirteen cents per pound until January 1973, when the price would go up one cent.8\n\n\nDonald Stiller, another fish dealer who attended the dealers' meeting, testified that the dealers agreed that they could sell part9 of their fish to Hudgins for a guaranteed minimum of five to six cents per pound over the dockside price that Hudgins paid his fishermen. Stiller, in addition to most of the other witnesses,", "base_doc": ", Miami, and other cities in the United States and in Puerto Rico.

Several days after the fish were originally caught, the dealer would prepare a statement for each fisherman who brought fish to him, which stated the fisherman's name, the type of fish he brought in, the number of pounds per species, dockside price per pound, any deductions for advances, and total amount for all fish weighed in during the preceding week. Fishermen were then paid on Fridays or Saturdays, receiving a copy of this statement with their check.\n\n\nIf the fish were to be frozen for later resale, the fishermen would be paid on the same schedule, but the price paid would be a reflection of the anticipated price (less dealer expenses and profits) which the dealer hoped to sell the fish for during the off-season.\n\n\nIn spite of the apparent impotence of the fishermen in this pricing mechanism, they really possessed the power to set the minimum acceptable price, by their concerted refusal to fish when the price fell below a certain point.6 Often, this minimum pricing decision was reached as a result of a consensus of fishermen through a fishermen's organization. Once the pricing decision was made, the fishermen would generally give the dealers advance warning of this minimum price.7 Although the dealers tried to negotiate these prices, they were usually either forced to accept these minimum prices, or, if they found that they could not market the fish at the quoted minimum while still making a profit, they would tell the fishermen not to bring in any fish that day. This was known as \"shutting down\" the fishermen.\n\nPlaintiffs' Specific Allegations\n\nCuttin' Bait\n\n\nThe specific facts surrounding this controversy between the Pinders and Hudgins were hotly contested, with each side putting on a variety of witnesses in support of its position. For the sake of clarity and for ease of discussion, we will organize these facts in three-groups (i) the alleged takeover of the Pinders' Jupiter Marina fish house, (ii) the alleged marketing arrangement set up by Hudgins, and (iii) Hudgins' alleged boycott of the Pinders.\n\n\n\nThrough the testimony of John Tiff, the former manager of the Jupiter Marina, where the Pinders' fish house is located, plaintiff attempted to show that Hudgins tried to break the Pinders' lease. Tiff testified that Al Bowe, an employee of Hudgins, asked him in May 1971, \"what kind of a lease Pinder had and if there was any way it could be broken so they could come in there * * *.\" Tiff also stated that Bowe said that \"(i)f we could get a lease here we will build a fish house and guarantee so much a month.\" He also reported that Bowe stated that \"(w)e want to put Mr. Pinder out of business if it is at all possible.\" Finally, Tiff testified that Bowe asked him if it was permissible for Hudgins to bring a truck into the marina to pick up fish over-the-wall. Tiff stated that he gave Bowe permission to do so. Tiff stated that it was never made clear who Bowe's \"we\" included, but that he, Tiff, assumed it included Hudgins, Bowe's employer.\n\n\nTo counteract the testimony of Tiff, defendant put Al Bowe on the stand. Bowe testified that he did ask Tiff whether there was any way he could get the Pinders' lease, but that he never said \"we, Hudgins, wanted him (Pinder) out of there.\" Instead, Bowe testified that \"I was planning to go into business there (in the Jupiter Marina) for myself and I wanted no part of it unless Pinder was completely off of that property.\" He further testified that his conversation with Tiff began with Tiff telling him that the owner lessor of the marina \"was getting ready to throw him (Pinder) out and did I (Bowe) want * * * the lease?\" Finally, Bowe testified that he did in fact open up a fish house for himself in Jupiter.\n\n\nThe plaintiffs next put on testimony showing that Hudgins came to Jupiter Marina, and took fish over-the-wall into a truck parked next to the marina. Dorothy Pinder, co-plaintiff, testified that Hudgins paid higher dockside prices than the Pinders during this time, so that many of the fishermen who had once fished for the Pinders began fishing for Hudgins.\n\n\nHudgins did not deny that he began this over-the-wall operation, but asserted that he did so at the request of some of the fishermen. He also noted that he was compelled to close down when the Pinders complained to municipal authorities that he was operating without a valid license. Hudgins testified that when he attempted to obtain a valid license, he was told by the authorities that they were not issuing any more licenses because the Pinders had the only available license in Jupiter. Thereupon, Hudgins returned to the West Palm Beach area from which he usually operated, but continued to buy fish at a higher dockside price than did Pinder. Upset at losing fishermen to Hudgins, the Pinders erected a sign at their Jupiter fish house that read: \"Any fishermen that fishes for Hudgins cannot fish for Pinder.\"In February 1972, the Pinders closed their Port Salerno fish house, and in April 1972, closed another business, leaving the Jupiter and Rivera fish houses as production points. Defendant claimed that this was done because the Pinders had wanted to get out of the fish business for years.\n\nThe Marketing Arrangement\n\n\nThe Pinders testified that in 1972 Hudgins agreed to buy all the Pinders' production which would otherwise have gone to out-of-state markets for a minimum price of five to six cents per pound over the dockside price Hudgins paid his fishermen. According to the Pinders, the arrangement precluded them from selling directly to the New York market, but Hudgins would sell part of this production to the Pinders' former New York wholesale purchaser. The Pinders also testified that the arrangement precluded them from selling any fish to freezers.\n\n\nThe Pinders next testified that five fish dealers, other than Hudgins, were eventually brought into the arrangement. The Pinders explained that, during a meeting to discuss the details of this arrangement, Hudgins disclosed that his fishermen had told him that the minimum price they would accept for their fish for the coming winter run would be thirteen cents per pound until January 1973, when the price would go up one cent.8\n\n\nDonald Stiller, another fish dealer who attended the dealers' meeting, testified that the dealers agreed that they could sell part9 of their fish to Hudgins for a guaranteed minimum of five to six cents per pound over the dockside price that Hudgins paid his fishermen. Stiller, in addition to most of the other witnesses, described this agreement as covering only \"surplus\" fish that is, those fish the dealers could not find a market for elsewhere. Stiller also testified that Hudgins did not guarantee that he would accept their fish. If Hudgins could not find a market for their fish on a certain day (or for any other reason) he was free to refuse to buy their fish that day.

She explained that she heard them discussing the Sahuagin, which piqued her interest. She shared that when she was young she was taken prisoner by the Sahuagin, and so she knows a great deal about their community and culture. Leena informed them that the Sahuagin worship sharks, and in time the party realised that the warhorn was likely designed to sound like a shark\u2019s call. Discussing these topics was difficult for Leena, but she shared her knowledge willingly. She seemed intrigued by Reqlin in some way. Leena gave the group a tour of the reef, introducing the party to Narissa\u2019s partner Jacques, and their two children Orta and three-year-old Marilla who expresses to Elyza that the best strategy would be to just kill all the Sahuagin.\n\nSoon the male aquatic elf left the throne room, and the party spoke with him as well. He introduces himself as Shar, Narissa\u2019s second in command. Though he didnt tell them directly, the party learned over time that Shar has strong feelings for Narissa and would go out of his way if he felt like it would impress her.\n\nThe group reconvened in the throne room and though it took a bit more convincing, Narissa agreed to help the party. They decided that the best plan of action would be to infiltrate the Sahuagin\u2019s home and defeat the tribe, causing there to be no more Sahuagin remaining for the warhorn to summon. The group, including, Narissa, Shar, fighter-in-training Orta, as well as five aquatic elf fighters proceeded to storm the Sahuagin home. The battle was long and grueling. Shar\u2019s need to impress Narissa nearly got him killed, but he was eventually healed and convinced to stay out of combat for a short time. Orta did surprisingly well. Close calls were had, but eventually the group succeeded in taking down all of the Sahuagin, as well as their leader. Oh, and Elyza turned into a shark, which was really confusing for them when she attacked.\n\nSession 13\n\nBrief Summary\n\nThe party headed to the medic to get Elyza\u2019s ear reattached. There they met Olvash, an unusual looking green dragonborn who wears a pink wig. He cannot reattach Elyza\u2019s ear and so offers to make a prosthetic one out of a tree bark poultice.\n\nManitari and Mushu leave Reqlin and Elyza behind and head to The Jevith Memorial Library. Manitari quickly upsets Mushu by altering the statues outside the library, and Mushu storms inside. He quickly meets the mess of a librarian before heading downstairs.

Not wanting to harm the books, he stuns them, unfortunately stunning Mushu in the process and preventing his escape. Manitari is able to subdue the books just as Mushu becomes unstunned. He storms off again, and pressure between the two party members builds.\n\nThe two return to the medic to get patched up after their book battle. A heated argument breaks out when Mushu suggests that Reqlin and Elyza should head to the library to see if the books attack them. Mushu believes that he was targeted by the books because of his race. Manitari expresses his extreme dislike for this plan, revealing that books were his main companion during his time in the underdark. He explains that he doesn\u2019t want the books provoked or harmed, but eventually the group decides to proceed with Mushu\u2019s plan.\n\nUpon arrival at the library Reqlin is initially intrigued by the female elf at the library, but soon realises she is crazy and he calms down. Reqlin and Elyza cautiously enter the office and are not attacked. Elyza intuits that the books aren\u2019t attacking because they don\u2019t believe the office is in danger. The two head back upstairs, and enter a back room. Just as they approach, they hear someone leave. Reqlin spots a dwarf quickly leaving from the back door, and a chase ensues. Elyza becomes a warhorse and the two quickly catch up to the terrified dwarf, who wets himself before passing out.\n\nThey return the dwarf to the medic where they learn that he is part of a group of bandits. Mushu brings him to the guard, and Captain Naalo who hasn\u2019t had time to deal with the bandits with all her focus on Arroway. While Mushu is gone, the party, including warhorse Elyza smoke some wizardz weed, eat snacks, and share stories. Reqlin nicknames Olvash \u201cBig O\u201d and gives him some wizardz weed seedz to grow in his orange garden. Mushu returns and gets high from being in the room. The party soon head to bed.\n\nThey spend 3 more days in the city, passing the time until the potions of water breathing are created. Manitari spends his time searching the area for alchemical ingredients.\n\nDetailed Summary\n\nThe party decided to proceed to the medic to get Elyza\u2019s ear reattached. They arrived at The Orange Garden Clinic and met Olvash, the town medic. Upon examining Elyza\u2019s head, Olvash determined that there wasn\u2019t enough flesh on her head for him to reattach the ear. He offered her many options, including the fashioning of a hat or helmet to cover the area, as well as a prosthetic ear made out of a tree bark poultice. Elyza elected for the poultice option. As the medic was doing his work, Manitari and Mushu decided to go visit The Jevith Memorial Library. Feeling more responsible for the safety of Elyza since she saved his life earlier, Reqlin stayed behind while Elyza\u2019s prosthetic ear was being created.\n\nAt the library, Manitari and Mushu came upon the frost-covered dragon statues that flank the library doors. Uncomfortable with the horrified looks on the faces of the statues, Manitari painted a happy face on one of the statues with some sort of mystery substance from his body. Mushu was not amused, and went inside. Inside Mushu examined the foyer with Jevith\u2019s statue as well as the books on either side of the room which contained information about The Tragedy from various perspectives. Mushu proceeded up the stairs where he was greeted by the spacey librarian. The satchel she wore contained miscellaneous items, including a spoon, a shirt, and some stained papers. They may have been stained with mustard. Mushu was surprised by the state of this women, and the state that she kept the library in. Meanwhile, Manitari entered the library and picked up the most used book in the foyer. It was a book with a white cover that detailed the history of The Jevith Memorial Library. He read the introduction which provided a great summary of it\u2019s history.\n\nMushu then proceeded down a set of stairs and found himself in an office. This office was a bit neater than the general library area, but some books were still astray on the desk and floor. Mushu poked around the office for a bit, seeing that most of the books were focused on different types of creatures. Upon further examination of the books, his Greatsword of Warning provided him with warning.. Mushu spun around to see a book slamming towards his face, and quickly ducked out of the way. Soon six books were flying around the room, trying to slam into him and give him serious paper cuts. He grabbed one book and set it on fire with his breathe, and tried to run out of the room. Soon Manitari teleported in, and tried to stun the books so they would stop attacking. While he was successful in stunning one book, he unfortunately also stunned his friend, preventing him from leaving the room.\n\nFearing for the books\u2019 safety, Manitari extinguished the book that was lit on fire. He proceeded to take down the remaining books before Mushu ceased to be stunned Mushu was quite displeased with Manitari and stormed off. Manitari healed the books and tidied them up, turning on a small desk light before he closed the door behind him. Mushu was quite frustrated by the recent events, and so he confronted the librarian to inform her of what had just gone on, but she seemed like she wasn\u2019t really hearing him. She began to walk towards the office to investigate the books that attacked them, but got distracted before she got there.\n\nBack at The Orange Garden Clinic. Olvash was drying Elyza\u2019s newly formed ear. It is slightly larger than her other ear, and smells quite a bit, but it was well carved and matches her skin tone quite well.

You must rise above all that because I have to.\n\nTo quote, before the author met his future wife he was \u201chaving frustration around some deep emotional connections I had developed with another guy, and it hurt that I couldn\u2019t have what a part of me really wanted.\u201d What he is saying is, he wanted a sexual relationship with this man to consummate their emotional connection. According to the article, he and his wife also have deep emotional connections, but now he has chosen to cause another person, his wife, who is heterosexual, this very frustration and pain because, if he really is same-sex attracted, she cannot have what a part of her really wants: being truly one with her husband in every way.\n\nIn fact, we heard of a \u201cmixed-orientation couple\u201d in which the wife has agreed to take libido-repressing medications. How is that fair? Why doesn\u2019t the man take them too? Where are the feminists? Talk about counterfeit marriage! What a strange new way to use and abuse someone! You just can\u2019t make this stuff up.\n\nTangle #7\nSo, the man claiming SSA gets to keep his SSA and yet be married to a woman in some sort of agreed-upon, loving but nonsexual relationship in which they still do the thing that makes babies which is called sex. At least that is what is gathered from the article. This means they have totally disconnected love and sex. Isn\u2019t that what prostitutes do?\n\nWhat about the wife\u2019s sexuality? What is she allowed to do, romantically, aside from the fake lovemaking? Do they have some sort of system for that? Is she ever allowed to act like a lover, or even an affectionate wife, as in reaching out and taking his hand or running her hand through his hair? Does she surprise her husband, at least on their anniversary, by preparing a fancy dinner, lighting candles, playing their favorite song and taking a spin around the kitchen? Is there ever any hope for tender romance? Or is that a taboo subject? Shouldn\u2019t he be repulsed and suspicious if she tries something a lover would do? Does he make all the rules? Does she care that he is pretending? What is she allowed to say? Has she promised never to tempt him? Does she believe it would be futile and she would be rejected so she doesn't even try? Wouldn't she be insulting, annoying, even homophobic if she attempted to use her womanly charms on him? If he is so affectionate, as she says, isn\u2019t it confusing? Might she think he really loves her as regular married people do? Does he show any signs of having to resist her charms? Does she wonder why he doesn\u2019t try resisting his same-sex attractions instead of resisting her? And what if, just what if, her womanly charms accidentally started working? (She\u2019s got to be hoping they might.) Would they celebrate and write a big article telling the world that he is opposite-sex attracted now?\n\nWhile the author, in a side bar called \"Ty's Advice For Dealing With SSA,\" hands out his wisdom about loving yourself and feeling God's love so as \u201cnot to inhibit our growth,\u201d he conveniently neglects to point out that we must also strive to overcome sins and weaknesses and strive to keep God's commandments inside and out so as not to inhibit our growth.\n\nTangle #9\nIt is so strange that these people think SSA is merely an identity and that it is chaste. SSA is sexual and it isn't chaste. To paraphrase the Lord, if you have out-of-bounds sexual desires, you have already committed sin in your heart. Apparently, if this man is \"living with same-sex attraction,\" as he says, he is deeply involved in sin. As human beings, we are all susceptible to one sin or another and are invited to repent continually. But this is not a consideration in the article, or in any of this man\u2019s writings.\n\nTangle #10\nIf Mansfield does indeed have a problem with same-sex sexual attraction, and consequently does not feel physical attraction for his wife, this is called alienation of affection and it is grounds for divorce. Now we have couples agreeing to live like this. As such, this travesty they call mixed-orientation marriage is another nail in the coffin of the essential institution of marriage. If they love each other as they say, as friends, that's what they should have stayed, rather than pretending at marriage. Marriage is more than friendship. It\u2019s much more than playing house. It is about mating, otherwise it isn't marriage. Friendship is great. You can be friends with all sorts of people. But the best marriages are that, and much more.\n\nTangle #11\nMarriage is supposed to be the only human relationship that shares sexuality. But Ty Mansfield discounts this distinction. Indeed, he feels \"sad for people who . . . have reduced love and marriage to a mere shadow of what it was intended to be and how beautiful it can be.\" Apparently, this couple believes their marriage is more precious and right than traditional marriages because it is based on spiritual things rather than physical intimacy. Going further, the (brainwashed ?) bride refers to \"hormones and emotions\" as things that actually enslave and diminish true love. Oh, so those of us who enjoy sexual intimacy in marriage are blinded by our hormones to what marriage could really be? As if they know anything about other people\u2019s spirituality in their marriages, and as if you can only have one or the other, spirituality or sexuality! What a lot of nonsense. And by the way, isn\u2019t sexual intimacy what Ty really wanted with his same-sex friend? Isn\u2019t he, burdened by SSA, blinded by his hormones himself, big time? These kids need to get their story straight.\n\nBefore they were married, in response to some online criticism of their publicized engagement, this young woman wrote to her fiance that she felt he loved her \"more now than many people ever love their partners or spouses.\" Twenty/thirty-something, never been married, and yet they presume to know all about married love. Man, are these kids clueless. They evidently do not know that the sexual relationship enhances marriage in a way nothing else can. It's what distinguishes marriage from every other kind of loving relationship.\n\nTangle #12\nDoes anybody note the trajectory we are witnessing? Since the beginning, only heterosexual couples could be married in the temple. Now, suddenly, mixed-orientation couples are being married in the temple. The way things are going, it seems to follow that the natural progression is for same-sex couples to be next. According to gay leaders in our state at a press conference in 2010, which SoL attended, same-sex marriage in LDS temples is definitely one of their primary goals. Is Ty Mansfield part of this? If the Church were to be forced to perform same-sex marriages, would Ty abandon his wife and family, as others have done, so he could have what he says he really wants? Maybe this is something he should have thought about. Has his wife thought about it?\n\nIn summary, the LDS Living article is very much a tangled web of deceit and delusion. What we are treated to is an embarrassing display of pseudo moral and spiritual superiority coming from a young, mixed- up, \"mixed orientation\" couple who pretend to know everything about themselves, God, marriage, sex, love, and family. The ignorance and presumption are astounding and the dangers and implications far-reaching for the couple and those whom they influence.\n\nOn a positive note, our prayer is that this author will think things through and get some help for the sake of his family and future. If we could communicate one thought to him, it would be this. It is from A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur\u2019s Court by Mark Twain. In this beautiful quote the main character is talking about his new wife, whom to his surprise he finds he has truly grown to love, body and soul.\n\n\nOf course by man and wife he means they enjoy sexual attraction and intimacy as only man and wife can and should, yes, because of those God-given \u201cemotions and hormones\u201d made for that purpose, which tender sexual life silently strengthens, enriches, and distinguishes every other facet of their relationship: spiritual, intellectual, emotional.\n\n\u2013Stephen & Janice Graham\n\n\n\nReturn to VOICE page.\nReturn to WELCOME page.\n\n\nCopyright 2012 by Standard of Liberty Foundation, Inc.

The video will show every individual the basic effects of sitting for a total of 11 hours a day. It shows that when a person is sitting, the enzymes of the body drop by 90%. Enzymes are important because it is one of the factors responsible in breaking down fats in your body.\n\n\nAside from", "base_doc": " I hide my disgust for reasons of my own. You must rise above all that because I have to.\n\nTo quote, before the author met his future wife he was \u201chaving frustration around some deep emotional connections I had developed with another guy, and it hurt that I couldn\u2019t have what a part of me really wanted.\u201d What he is saying is, he wanted a sexual relationship with this man to consummate their emotional connection. According to the article, he and his wife also have deep emotional connections, but now he has chosen to cause another person, his wife, who is heterosexual, this very frustration and pain because, if he really is same-sex attracted, she cannot have what a part of her really wants: being truly one with her husband in every way.\n\nIn fact, we heard of a \u201cmixed-orientation couple\u201d in which the wife has agreed to take libido-repressing medications. How is that fair? Why doesn\u2019t the man take them too? Where are the feminists? Talk about counterfeit marriage! What a strange new way to use and abuse someone! You just can\u2019t make this stuff up.\n\nTangle #7\nSo, the man claiming SSA gets to keep his SSA and yet be married to a woman in some sort of agreed-upon, loving but nonsexual relationship in which they still do the thing that makes babies which is called sex. At least that is what is gathered from the article. This means they have totally disconnected love and sex. Isn\u2019t that what prostitutes do?\n\nWhat about the wife\u2019s sexuality? What is she allowed to do, romantically, aside from the fake lovemaking? Do they have some sort of system for that? Is she ever allowed to act like a lover, or even an affectionate wife, as in reaching out and taking his hand or running her hand through his hair? Does she surprise her husband, at least on their anniversary, by preparing a fancy dinner, lighting candles, playing their favorite song and taking a spin around the kitchen? Is there ever any hope for tender romance? Or is that a taboo subject? Shouldn\u2019t he be repulsed and suspicious if she tries something a lover would do? Does he make all the rules? Does she care that he is pretending? What is she allowed to say? Has she promised never to tempt him? Does she believe it would be futile and she would be rejected so she doesn't even try? Wouldn't she be insulting, annoying, even homophobic if she attempted to use her womanly charms on him? If he is so affectionate, as she says, isn\u2019t it confusing? Might she think he really loves her as regular married people do? Does he show any signs of having to resist her charms? Does she wonder why he doesn\u2019t try resisting his same-sex attractions instead of resisting her? And what if, just what if, her womanly charms accidentally started working? (She\u2019s got to be hoping they might.) Would they celebrate and write a big article telling the world that he is opposite-sex attracted now?\n\nWhile the author, in a side bar called \"Ty's Advice For Dealing With SSA,\" hands out his wisdom about loving yourself and feeling God's love so as \u201cnot to inhibit our growth,\u201d he conveniently neglects to point out that we must also strive to overcome sins and weaknesses and strive to keep God's commandments inside and out so as not to inhibit our growth.\n\nTangle #9\nIt is so strange that these people think SSA is merely an identity and that it is chaste. SSA is sexual and it isn't chaste. To paraphrase the Lord, if you have out-of-bounds sexual desires, you have already committed sin in your heart. Apparently, if this man is \"living with same-sex attraction,\" as he says, he is deeply involved in sin. As human beings, we are all susceptible to one sin or another and are invited to repent continually. But this is not a consideration in the article, or in any of this man\u2019s writings.\n\nTangle #10\nIf Mansfield does indeed have a problem with same-sex sexual attraction, and consequently does not feel physical attraction for his wife, this is called alienation of affection and it is grounds for divorce. Now we have couples agreeing to live like this. As such, this travesty they call mixed-orientation marriage is another nail in the coffin of the essential institution of marriage. If they love each other as they say, as friends, that's what they should have stayed, rather than pretending at marriage. Marriage is more than friendship. It\u2019s much more than playing house. It is about mating, otherwise it isn't marriage. Friendship is great. You can be friends with all sorts of people. But the best marriages are that, and much more.\n\nTangle #11\nMarriage is supposed to be the only human relationship that shares sexuality. But Ty Mansfield discounts this distinction. Indeed, he feels \"sad for people who . . . have reduced love and marriage to a mere shadow of what it was intended to be and how beautiful it can be.\" Apparently, this couple believes their marriage is more precious and right than traditional marriages because it is based on spiritual things rather than physical intimacy. Going further, the (brainwashed ?) bride refers to \"hormones and emotions\" as things that actually enslave and diminish true love. Oh, so those of us who enjoy sexual intimacy in marriage are blinded by our hormones to what marriage could really be? As if they know anything about other people\u2019s spirituality in their marriages, and as if you can only have one or the other, spirituality or sexuality! What a lot of nonsense. And by the way, isn\u2019t sexual intimacy what Ty really wanted with his same-sex friend? Isn\u2019t he, burdened by SSA, blinded by his hormones himself, big time? These kids need to get their story straight.\n\nBefore they were married, in response to some online criticism of their publicized engagement, this young woman wrote to her fiance that she felt he loved her \"more now than many people ever love their partners or spouses.\" Twenty/thirty-something, never been married, and yet they presume to know all about married love. Man, are these kids clueless. They evidently do not know that the sexual relationship enhances marriage in a way nothing else can. It's what distinguishes marriage from every other kind of loving relationship.\n\nTangle #12\nDoes anybody note the trajectory we are witnessing? Since the beginning, only heterosexual couples could be married in the temple. Now, suddenly, mixed-orientation couples are being married in the temple. The way things are going, it seems to follow that the natural progression is for same-sex couples to be next.

Couped Up: Super8 Hemi concept\nby Frank Markus\n\nThe earliest sketches of what's become the Charger originated as a coupe in Freeman Thomas's Pacifica studio in Carlsbad, California.

In 2003, the SRT10 roadster arrived without a coupe sibling, but a race-only Competition Coupe based on the GTS/R concept car of 2000 became available to privateers competing in Speed World Challenge, Grand American Cup, and other series. With no corresponding street-legal variant, it wasn't homologated for American Le Mans. Relative to the SRT10, the Comp Coupe's wheelbase was three inches longer, track two inches wider, the doors were longer, the body was carbon fiber, and the engine made 520 horses and 540 pound-feet.

realized this when I was running my studio, is that, and you already mentioned it. Just because you emailed me and I loved your reel, and I want to book you, I just didn't have a job then, doesn't mean I'm going to remember you in three months. Right? If you're running a studio, your inbox is like a war zone. You get tons of emails.\n\nChris Do: It is. Hundreds of emails.\n\nJoey Korenman: Yeah, easily, easily. So, you need to check in, and I say every 2-3 months at a minimum, every month works fine. And the key is with these emails, make sure you're not asking for something. I even say, and this is a tip I learned from reading \"The 4-Hour Work Week\", in your email you can even write something like, no reply necessary. And it just makes the person reading your email feel really good like, \"Okay, here's my reel,\" or you know, \"Hey, just checking in, wanted to let you guys know I worked on something really cool. Hope you're having a great summer. No reply necessary.\" And if they have something right then that needs a freelancer, they will almost certainly call you if they like your reel. Just because now they're thinking about you, and you did something nice for them. Yeah. I love stuff like that. I love little email tips.\n\nChris Do: That's perfect.\n\nJoey Korenman: Yeah, that's the way to do it. So let me ask you this Chris, I get a lot of questions about getting work. I mean when you're a freelancer, that's the most important thing, especially when you're starting out. So if you had to start over, and you were a freelancer, and you had a good reel, what would you do ... How would you go out and get your first few clients. What are the steps you'd take?\n\nChris Do: Okay. Let's first start with the good reel. What's a good reel? Pay attention to the first 15 seconds because you're going to lose me in the first 15 seconds.\n\nJoey Korenman: Got it.\n\nChris Do: Don't give me a long countdown timer thing, because I'm out of time by the time your good stuff happens. Two, edit out all the crap. I don't need to see lots of projects. People feel like they've got to put in 35 projects, and they know that 30% of them are no good. Just get rid of those. I don't need to see a long reel. A minute, 30 seconds, I don't care if it's good, we're going to call you. You just gotta make that impression in a burst of time that somebody has available.\n\nSo those are some tips, but the other thing you need to do, is just put your name in there and what the hell you do, because it's not always clear. I'm not your mom. I'm not your dad. I don't know what you do. So if you're a texture artist, or a lighting person, or a character animator, or a compositor, put that freaking thing really clear. And don't come up with these obtuse titles that nobody can figure out. A visual communication expert at ... You know, I don't know what that means. Just tell me what my industry knows, and that way we can slot you in, because I'm probably looking for you right now. Right? So that's a good reel.\n\nThe other thing that you need to do, is you need to profile people that you want to work with. Figure out who they are. Spend 10, 20, 30 minutes figuring out who the decision makers are, and where you should send their reel. You know, I get this email, or this question a lot. They're like, \"How do I become an intern at Blind?\" I'm like, \"Dude, you're not going to get that job, because that's posted everywhere. Spend the five seconds it takes to go on our site and type in internship at Blind, and look at our freaking site.\"\n\nJoey Korenman: Right.\n\nChris Do: It shows me you're not a resourceful person.\n\nJoey Korenman: I love it.\n\nChris Do: Right? It's like, \"Where do I submit the work?\" I'm like, \"Dude, did you not read the posting, or not?\" So I'm just going to discount you right there. I'm sorry, I'm going to discredit you. You have to spend a little bit of time, so know that realistically there's probably a handful of companies that you're really well suited for. Focus on that. There's the Pareto Principle, that 80% of your results are going to come from 20% of your clients. Focus on that 20%, because the other eight people are not right for you, and you're not right for them, more importantly. Okay?\n\nJoey Korenman: Yeah.\n\nChris Do: And if you can do work, that you can see them taking your reel and putting it in their montage, you've done a really good thing. They'll hire you, for sure. Get to know them. That's as much as I can tell you, so some of the cyber-stalking stuff, it actually works. Now I'm going to tell you two weird stories, not that I want people to do this to me or to you, is that when I bump into people in the real world, they go, \"Hey Chris, I'm sorry ... \" and I'm out eating with my wife, and I just ... The kid is super persistent, and I look at the reel later on, and I'm like, \"Gosh, it's not ... I'm on the fence on this, but that person's got moxie. They want this.\" And then there's this other person, that's kind of like, \"Yeah, I've got some options, and maybe Blind, maybe not Blind.\" And I gave these kids a chance, and they've worked out. My instinct is to reward people who are persistent, who are not aggressive, but take initiative and are resourceful. I'm going to do it.\n\nYou know this kid called his dean, or the chair of design, and asked them to make a referral for him. So at that point, I'm like, you got the chair involved in emailing me, I better give you a shot. And it worked out. This kids doing well. This kid actually just got a job over at Google, so he's traveling. This has been a couple of years now, and he's going to be working at Google. Who knew?\n\nJoey Korenman: I love this because when I was running my studio, I got reels sent to me all the time. And I think probably like 75 or 80 percent of them would come through our [email\u00a0protected] email address, which would go to our producer or something. And then she'd forward them to me, and if I had time, if I remembered, I'd look at them. But some people would somehow find my email address, and they would email me directly, and before they would email me, they would look at my reel, or they'd go find some post I wrote on five years ago, or something like that. And they would attempt to make a personal connection with me. And those people, almost always, A were better, I guess maybe that was an example of their drive, which would make them a better artist anyway. But I was more willing to give them a chance for that same reason. And so when I left Toil and went freelance again, I started doing that. And there's a lot of tools out there, it's really easy now.

What began as a simple travel two years ago has evolved into deeper understandings of how this society operates, and how much potential there is for our own culture to be enriched. I traveled to Tokyo, Sendai, Osaka, Kyoto, Kanazawa and Fukuoka in search of architecture and physical relationships with surroundings. What I found in the process of this search was much more rewarding: a taste understanding.\n\nArchitecture and Japanese language are parallels whenever I travel to Japan. In order to understand more about the architecture, I must understand more about the language and how they express their own culture in their own native tongue. For this fellowship, my first stop in Japan was with Charlotte Anderson and Gorazd Vilhar in Tokyo. These two have been living in Japan for the last 20 years, working as freelancers studying the culture and taking photographs. Their guidance continues to help me formulate a way of seeing, a way of asking questions to further understand my surroundings.\n\nAfter only two weeks observing Tokyo, I traveled to Sendai to visit Toyo Ito's Sendai Mediatheque. This trip to Sendai was my fist time leaving Tokyo, first time riding a bullet train, and the beginnings of my voyage into the unknown. The speed of the Shinkansen, or bullet train, is not unlike the rush you get from an airplane, although one never leaves the ground. By departing one of most dense metropolis' in the world and traveling to a smaller city within Japan, I was able to distill ideas and relationships of how a city comes together and works.\n\nFrom Sendai, I returned to Tokyo for a few days, gathering research at architecture exhibitions and museums, and after a few days, continued south to Osaka. There, I met with Doctor Toshiya Okayama from the Osaka Institute of Technology. During our discussion, I was able to gather a great overview of Osaka and Fukuoka city planning, as well as research on the city planning of Germany and Japan, which is Doctor Okayama's primary focus.\n\nMoving quickly was the only downside of my travels, and soon it was time for the next city. I trekked over to Kyoto after only three days spent in Osaka. Although Kyoto was not on my original itinerary, I vowed to travel there because of the high recommendation of Gorazd Vihar. I was able to visit Katsura Rikyu, Uji Byodoin, Kinkakuji, the Imperial Palace, Kiyumizu shrine, and many others along the way. It is important when visiting a temple or a shrine to not get absorbed in the architecture alone, but to sense what is around the structure. If you were to look at an arial photo of Japan, there are pockets of complete development (such as Tokyo and Osaka) surrounded by vast forests and mountains. Much is true with these sacred places in Kyoto as they are surrounded by the green mountains that circle the city. Once one embraces the surroundings, it is possible to understand that the true beauty of this architecture is not its permanence, but the ephemeral qualities of the seasons acting on the sacred building, the aging, the constant balance to return to nature. In cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, this process of natural deterioration is actually fought, and the average life-span of a typical building is only 20 years before it is deconstructed and rebuilt.\n\nIt was sad to depart from Kyoto after only three days, however, Kanazawa was calling my travels back to contemporary architecture and a world renowned garden. I had learned about Kanazawa from an Exhibition in Tokyo at the National Art Center (designed by Kisho Kurokawa) on building skins. In Kanazawa, there stands the newly completed 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art designed by SANAA, architects Kazuyo Seijima and Ryue Nishizawa. Kanazawa is a city that is simply magnificently planned and presented. The city itself has a rich tradition with many ancient temples and a system of irrigation canals that runs through the entire city. Yet it is clearly ahead of its time in the contemporary beautification of the city through such things as pedestrian friendly sidewalk layouts and the amazing Kanazawa train station which looks like a giant steel and glass sunami flowing into a large wooden Torii gate. The Kanazawa Kenrokuen garden is one of the most visited in Japan by the Japanese people, and it is adjacent to the SANAA museum. this juxtapositions the garden and the museum is a constant reminder of the balance between the ancient and the new, and the western influences on Japanness, as Arata Isozaki would describe it.\n\nTokyo, Sendai, Osaka, Kyoto, and Kanazawa were all precedent studies for understanding Fukuoka, also known as Hakata, which is the final stop on the Shinkansen that goes from Kyushu through Tokyo all the way to Hokaido. Fukuoka is an established city only three hours from Pusan, Korea by ferry. The majority of cities in Japan have a decreasing population, but Fukuoka's population is steadily increasing. In the past twenty years, much time and effort has been spent on the city planning and overall design of Fukuoka. I decided to meet with six well know architects in Fukuoka in order to understand how their efforts effect the city. I met with and interviewed Kyoko Matsuoka, Koichiro Oba, Toshiaki Tanaka, Kaoru Suehiro, Matsuyama Masakatsu, and Shoei Yoh. Much of my findings were based on the observations and facts put forward by Andre Sorensen's The Making of Urban Japan, in addition to the writings to Toyo Ito, Kisho Kurokawa and Arata Isozaki.\n\nHow circumstance our lives truly are. I often walked out of a train station in Tokyo and never turned around in an effort to orient myself with something new where ever I went - often resulting in finding myself severely lost or ending up at a destination I once thought was unobtainable. I attempted the same in Fukuoka, and was always able to find my way without turning around. I spent a month here, and was able to feel at home which I feel is necessary in order to understand any city or place. Many of the observations I made in Fukuoka can be applied to my true home town of Minneapolis, and I feel this connection I have with Japan has the potential to extend beyond a two month travel, but a conversation between cultures that can extend at many scales and improve the quality of civilized spaces and institutions around the world. I recently returned to Japan to celebrate New Years in Tokyo and meet with friends in Fukuoka and Kyoto. I plan to return to Fukuoka to work for an architecture firm in May, 2008, and continue this conversation of cultures.\n\n\nThis travel fellowship consists of visits to Tokyo, Sendai, Osaka, Kyoto, Kanazawa and Fukuoka to study the urban fiber in the context of programmatic relationships to public buildings and public spaces, specifically architecture and the street. In Minneapolis, we find our way by streets and numbers. In Japan, buildings are numbered in the order they were erected.

What began as a simple travel two years ago has evolved into deeper understandings of how this society operates, and how much potential there is for our own culture to be enriched. I traveled to Tokyo, Sendai, Osaka, Kyoto, Kanazawa and Fukuoka in search of architecture and physical relationships with surroundings. What I found in the process of this search was much more rewarding: a taste understanding.\n\nArchitecture and Japanese language are parallels whenever I travel to Japan. In order to understand more about the architecture, I must understand more about the language and how they express their own culture in their own native tongue. For this fellowship, my first stop in Japan was with Charlotte Anderson and Gorazd Vilhar in Tokyo. These two have been living in Japan for the last 20 years, working as freelancers studying the culture and taking photographs. Their guidance continues to help me formulate a way of seeing, a way of asking questions to further understand my surroundings.\n\nAfter only two weeks observing Tokyo, I traveled to Sendai to visit Toyo Ito's Sendai Mediatheque. This trip to Sendai was my fist time leaving Tokyo, first time riding a bullet train, and the beginnings of my voyage into the unknown. The speed of the Shinkansen, or bullet train, is not unlike the rush you get from an airplane, although one never leaves the ground. By departing one of most dense metropolis' in the world and traveling to a smaller city within Japan, I was able to distill ideas and relationships of how a city comes together and works.\n\nFrom Sendai, I returned to Tokyo for a few days, gathering research at architecture exhibitions and museums, and after a few days, continued south to Osaka. There, I met with Doctor Toshiya Okayama from the Osaka Institute of Technology. During our discussion, I was able to gather a great overview of Osaka and Fukuoka city planning, as well as research on the city planning of Germany and Japan, which is Doctor Okayama's primary focus.\n\nMoving quickly was the only downside of my travels, and soon it was time for the next city. I trekked over to Kyoto after only three days spent in Osaka. Although Kyoto was not on my original itinerary, I vowed to travel there because of the high recommendation of Gorazd Vihar. I was able to visit Katsura Rikyu, Uji Byodoin, Kinkakuji, the Imperial Palace, Kiyumizu shrine, and many others along the way. It is important when visiting a temple or a shrine to not get absorbed in the architecture alone, but to sense what is around the structure. If you were to look at an arial photo of Japan, there are pockets of complete development (such as Tokyo and Osaka) surrounded by vast forests and mountains. Much is true with these sacred places in Kyoto as they are surrounded by the green mountains that circle the city. Once one embraces the surroundings, it is possible to understand that the true beauty of this architecture is not its permanence, but the ephemeral qualities of the seasons acting on the sacred building, the aging, the constant balance to return to nature. In cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, this process of natural deterioration is actually fought, and the average life-span of a typical building is only 20 years before it is deconstructed and rebuilt.\n\nIt was sad to depart from Kyoto after only three days, however, Kanazawa was calling my travels back to contemporary architecture and a world renowned garden. I had learned about Kanazawa from an Exhibition in Tokyo at the National Art Center (designed by Kisho Kurokawa) on building skins. In Kanazawa, there stands the newly completed 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art designed by SANAA, architects Kazuyo Seijima and Ryue Nishizawa. Kanazawa is a city that is simply magnificently planned and presented. The city itself has a rich tradition with many ancient temples and a system of irrigation canals that runs through the entire city. Yet it is clearly ahead of its time in the contemporary beautification of the city through such things as pedestrian friendly sidewalk layouts and the amazing Kanazawa train station which looks like a giant steel and glass sunami flowing into a large wooden Torii gate. The Kanazawa Kenrokuen garden is one of the most visited in Japan by the Japanese people, and it is adjacent to the SANAA museum. this juxtapositions the garden and the museum is a constant reminder of the balance between the ancient and the new, and the western influences on Japanness, as Arata Isozaki would describe it.\n\nTokyo, Sendai, Osaka, Kyoto, and Kanazawa were all precedent studies for understanding Fukuoka, also known as Hakata, which is the final stop on the Shinkansen that goes from Kyushu through Tokyo all the way to Hokaido. Fukuoka is an established city only three hours from Pusan, Korea by ferry. The majority of cities in Japan have a decreasing population, but Fukuoka's population is steadily increasing. In the past twenty years, much time and effort has been spent on the city planning and overall design of Fukuoka. I decided to meet with six well know architects in Fukuoka in order to understand how their efforts effect the city. I met with and interviewed Kyoko Matsuoka, Koichiro Oba, Toshiaki Tanaka, Kaoru Suehiro, Matsuyama Masakatsu, and Shoei Yoh. Much of my findings were based on the observations and facts put forward by Andre Sorensen's The Making of Urban Japan, in addition to the writings to Toyo Ito, Kisho Kurokawa and Arata Isozaki.\n\nHow circumstance our lives truly are. I often walked out of a train station in Tokyo and never turned around in an effort to orient myself with something new where ever I went - often resulting in finding myself severely lost or ending up at a destination I once thought was unobtainable. I attempted the same in Fukuoka, and was always able to find my way without turning around. I spent a month here, and was able to feel at home which I feel is necessary in order to understand any city or place. Many of the observations I made in Fukuoka can be applied to my true home town of Minneapolis, and I feel this connection I have with Japan has the potential to extend beyond a two month travel, but a conversation between cultures that can extend at many scales and improve the quality of civilized spaces and institutions around the world. I recently returned to Japan to celebrate New Years in Tokyo and meet with friends in Fukuoka and Kyoto. I plan to return to Fukuoka to work for an architecture firm in May, 2008, and continue this conversation of cultures.\n\n\nThis travel fellowship consists of visits to Tokyo, Sendai, Osaka, Kyoto, Kanazawa and Fukuoka to study the urban fiber in the context of programmatic relationships to public buildings and public spaces, specifically architecture and the street. In Minneapolis, we find our way by streets and numbers. In Japan, buildings are numbered in the order they were erected. The city becomes less a grid of numbers and streets, but a series of spatial meanings and programs. People walking around the streets of Tokyo or Osaka therefore have a mental map of the city and the relationship of structures.

Since the term was coined in 1989 and only 23 years have passed - and 23 years is less than the generational 33 1/3 years - that is to be expected. However, if you have ever suffered from a chronic condition, such as sinusitis or ear infection, and spent years trying various treatments which did not work, there is a new day dawning with the understanding of bacterial biofilms.\n\nPreviously, science understood bacteria to move \"planktonically\", that floating and drifting in large numbers in some fluid medium.\n\nOf course, we approached anti-bacterial warfare with this paradigm of planktonic bacteria in mind, and we fired off anti-bacterial \"bombs\" which would kill the bugs with their shrapnel of drugs.\nWe find ourselves at a anti-bacterial dead-end, as the bacteria mutate to resist our medicines and cleaners, and actually now seem to prefer to actively populate those \"clean\" areas we set aside for medicine: the hospitals and clinics.\n\nBiolfilms are a type of microbiome, and they are a structure that depends upon a sophisticated networking of communication and activity; biofilms easily resist frontal attack; the efforts to build the bacterial colony has at least the benefit of a fortress-like protection.\nAnd these biofilms are not new, they are not something that came into being due to our use of anti-bacterial drugs; dental plaque is a biofilm, and it has been around for millions of years.\n\nWhat is new is the scientific understanding that bacteria may live as complex communities, not as free-floating plankton in the sea.\nTherefore, the method of attack must be formulated according to the new logic of the biolfilm; we have to cease to rely on brute force frontal attack, and do things smarter, such as using chemicals which themselves are not antibiotics nor antibacterials, but which can interfere with the processes a biofilm uses to establish itself.\n\nFor example, certain chemicals will interfere with Quorum Sensing, which is the process by which the bacteria communicate to determine whether there exist enough bacteria in a given area - a \"quorum\" - to begin the establishment of a biofilm.\nUsing such chemistry is a better approach than using some anti-bacterial \"bomb\"!\n\nStart your own research on biofilms.

The one inland city continuing under Byzantine control was Perugia, which provided a repeatedly threatened overland link between Rome and Ravenna. In 578 and again in 580, the Senate, in its last recorded acts, had to ask for the support of Tiberius II Constantine (reigned 578582) against the approaching dukes, Faroald of Spoleto and Zotto of Benevento.\n\nMaurice (reigned 582602) added a new factor in the continuing conflict by creating an alliance with Childebert II of Austrasia (reigned 575595). The armies of the Frankish King invaded the Lombard territories in 584, 585, 588 and 590. Rome had suffered badly from a disastrous flood of the Tiber in 589, followed by a plague in 590. The later is notable for the legend of the angel seen, while the newly elected Pope Gregory I (term 590604) was passing in procession by Hadrian's Tomb, to hover over the building and to sheathe his flaming sword as a sign that the pestilence was about to cease. But the city was safe from capture at least.\n\nAgilulf, however, the new Lombard King (reigned 591 to c. 616), managed to secure peace with Childebert, reorganized his territories and resumed activities against both Naples and Rome by 592. With the Emperor preoccupied with wars in the eastern borders and the various succeeding Exarchs unable to secure Rome from invasion, Gregory took a personal initiative of starting negotiations for a peace treaty. It was completed during the autumn of 598 and was only after recognized by Maurice. But it would last till the end of his reign.\n\nThe position of the Patriarch of Rome was further strengthened under the usurper Phocas (reigned 602610). Phocas recognized their primacy over that of the Patriarch of Constantinople and even decreed Pope Boniface III (607) to be \"the head of all the Churches\".\n\n\nThen, in 663, Rome had its first imperial visit for two centuries, by Constans II - its worst disaster since the Gothic Wars when the emperor proceeded to strip Rome of metal, including from buildings and statues, to provide materials for armaments to use against the Saracens. However, for the next half-century, despite further tensions, Rome and the Papacy continued to prefer continued Byzantine rule - in part because the alternative was Lombard rule, and in part because Rome's food was largely coming from Papal estates elsewhere in the Empire, particularly Sicily.\n\nHowever, in 727, Pope Gregory II refused to accept the decrees of Emperor Leo III, establishing iconoclasm. Leo proceeded, unsuccessfully, to impose iconoclasm on Rome by military force and then confiscated the Papal estates in Sicily and transferred areas previously ecclesiastically under the Pope but still under Byzantine control to the Patriarch of Constantinople. In effect, Rome had been expelled from the Byzantine Empire.\n\nThis left Rome reliant purely on its own local forces to protect itself against Lombard encroachment - sometimes now, indeed, encouraged by the Byzantines. Other protectors were now needed - and finally, in 753, Pope Stephen III induced Pepin III, king of the Franks, to attack the Lombards on the Papacy's behalf.\n\nIn the 9th century, Pope Leo IV commisioned the construction of a wall around an area on the opposite side of the Tiber from the seven hills of Rome, which has since been called the Leonine City.\n\nPapal and Renaissance Rome\n\nWhen Pepin III defeated the Lombards in 756, Rome became the capital city of the Papal States, a territorial entity at least nominally ruled by the Papacy. In practice, however, the government of the city was hotly contested between various factions of Roman nobility, the Pope, the Holy Roman Emperor, and occasional republican insurrections. After the suppression of the republic of 1434 (Gibbon's \"last revolt of Rome\"\u00a0(http://www.ccel.org/g/gibbon/decline/volume2/chap70.htm#Revolt)), the Papacy folded the government of Rome into the ecclesiastical bureaucracy.

Among the most interesting resources, plenty of museums (Musei Capitolini, the Vatican Museums, Galleria Borghese, and a great many others), churches, historical buildings, the monuments and ruins such as the Roman Forum or the Catacombs.\n\nAmong its hundreds of churches, Rome contains the five Major Basilicas of the Catholic church:", "base_doc": ", including Ravenna, Naples and Rome. The one inland city continuing under Byzantine control was Perugia, which provided a repeatedly threatened overland link between Rome and Ravenna. In 578 and again in 580, the Senate, in its last recorded acts, had to ask for the support of Tiberius II Constantine (reigned 578582) against the approaching dukes, Faroald of Spoleto and Zotto of Benevento.\n\nMaurice (reigned 582602) added a new factor in the continuing conflict by creating an alliance with Childebert II of Austrasia (reigned 575595). The armies of the Frankish King invaded the Lombard territories in 584, 585, 588 and 590. Rome had suffered badly from a disastrous flood of the Tiber in 589, followed by a plague in 590. The later is notable for the legend of the angel seen, while the newly elected Pope Gregory I (term 590604) was passing in procession by Hadrian's Tomb, to hover over the building and to sheathe his flaming sword as a sign that the pestilence was about to cease. But the city was safe from capture at least.\n\nAgilulf, however, the new Lombard King (reigned 591 to c. 616), managed to secure peace with Childebert, reorganized his territories and resumed activities against both Naples and Rome by 592. With the Emperor preoccupied with wars in the eastern borders and the various succeeding Exarchs unable to secure Rome from invasion, Gregory took a personal initiative of starting negotiations for a peace treaty. It was completed during the autumn of 598 and was only after recognized by Maurice. But it would last till the end of his reign.\n\nThe position of the Patriarch of Rome was further strengthened under the usurper Phocas (reigned 602610). Phocas recognized their primacy over that of the Patriarch of Constantinople and even decreed Pope Boniface III (607) to be \"the head of all the Churches\".\n\n\nThen, in 663, Rome had its first imperial visit for two centuries, by Constans II - its worst disaster since the Gothic Wars when the emperor proceeded to strip Rome of metal, including from buildings and statues, to provide materials for armaments to use against the Saracens. However, for the next half-century, despite further tensions, Rome and the Papacy continued to prefer continued Byzantine rule - in part because the alternative was Lombard rule, and in part because Rome's food was largely coming from Papal estates elsewhere in the Empire, particularly Sicily.\n\nHowever, in 727, Pope Gregory II refused to accept the decrees of Emperor Leo III, establishing iconoclasm. Leo proceeded, unsuccessfully, to impose iconoclasm on Rome by military force and then confiscated the Papal estates in Sicily and transferred areas previously ecclesiastically under the Pope but still under Byzantine control to the Patriarch of Constantinople. In effect, Rome had been expelled from the Byzantine Empire.\n\nThis left Rome reliant purely on its own local forces to protect itself against Lombard encroachment - sometimes now, indeed, encouraged by the Byzantines. Other protectors were now needed - and finally, in 753, Pope Stephen III induced Pepin III, king of the Franks, to attack the Lombards on the Papacy's behalf.\n\nIn the 9th century, Pope Leo IV commisioned the construction of a wall around an area on the opposite side of the Tiber from the seven hills of Rome, which has since been called the Leonine City.\n\nPapal and Renaissance Rome\n\nWhen Pepin III defeated the Lombards in 756, Rome became the capital city of the Papal States, a territorial entity at least nominally ruled by the Papacy. In practice, however, the government of the city was hotly contested between various factions of Roman nobility, the Pope, the Holy Roman Emperor, and occasional republican insurrections. After the suppression of the republic of 1434 (Gibbon's \"last revolt of Rome\"\u00a0(http://www.ccel.org/g/gibbon/decline/volume2/chap70.htm#Revolt)), the Papacy folded the government of Rome into the ecclesiastical bureaucracy. During this period Rome became the worldwide centre of Christianity and increasingly developed a relevant political role that made it one of the most important towns of the Old Continent. In art, although Florence became the center of humanism and the Rinascimento (Renaissance), Rome was the center of baroque, and architecture deeply affected its central areas.\n\nIn the 16th century a central area was delimited around the Porticus Octaviae, for the creation of the famous Roman Ghetto, in which the city's Jews were forced to live.\n\n\nRome during the Italian unification\n\n\nAnother Roman Republic arose in 1849, within the framework of revolutions of 1848.

It's very likely, therefore, that Changeling was intended to be autistic or autistic-like.\nOne person on commented:\n\n\"I did have a bit of a problem with the book equating Asperger's Syndrome with Changlings. It seemed a risky correlation for Ms. Sherman to make. She's never blatant about it, of course, but a quick examination of Changeling's personality (she says that when she was younger she needed a therapist to help her develop social skills) coupled with the note in the book's Acknowledgment section that reads that someone, \"gave me an invaluable education on Asperger's Syndrome\", was enough to put my hair on end. We don't really want to equate Asperger's with someone being physically from another world, do we?\"\n\nThis made me think. Why am I not offended by this comparison, when I'm offended by many other similar portrayals of autistic people?\nThe reason is the way Delia Sherman portrays Changeling. Changeling is portrayed pretty well. My biggest criticism was that she could've had more self-determination, and portrayed Changeling as being more able to speak for herself and having more ability to make effective choices, though partly it could just be that Neef was more used to the environment they were in than Changeling was. But Changeling's unique qualities turn out to be essential to their success and probably their survival, and Neef and Changeling become good friends.\nMy favorite part is a section (don't have the book so I can't quote it) in which someone tells Neef that people like Changeling are useless. Their sole purpose is to replace humans stolen away, so the humans don't notice. Fairy folk don't want them because they have little magic, and even the humans don't really like them - they used to abuse or kill them, and now they try to force them to conform. Neef indignantly stands up for Changeling, asserting that she is valuable.\nI think this book is one of those admirable books that take a harmful tradition (in this case the portrayal of disabled children as a 'stolen' normal child replaced by an 'empty shell' or as Martin Luther stated, a soulless 'massa carnis') and twists it around to make it positive. And the biggest test is 'how is this likely to affect how autistics are treated?' I think it's likely to be a pretty positive effect, if anything.\n\nLabels: , , ,\n\nThursday, February 14, 2008\n\nNation States game\n\nI just started playing the NationStates game.

I can't think of any way to get my point across without giving away the ending of this book.]\nI recently got a book called Magic or Madness by Justine Larbalestier. In this story, a girl, Reason Cansino, was living with her mother Sarafina. They were constantly on the run from Sarafina's mother Esmerelda, who according to Sarafina tortured and killed animals and babies in order to do nonexistant magic. Then, when Sarafina has a mental breakdown, Reason is sent to live with her grandmother.\nIn the course of the book, Reason discovers that magic is real, and that she has magic. If she doesn't use her magic, she will eventually go crazy like her mother and her friend Tom's mother. However, the more magic she uses, the shorter her life expectancy. On a monument to her family, the women listed died at 18, 20, 21, 14, 5, 19, 20, 25, 12, 16, 27, 20 and 48 years old.\nThe 'madness' that comes from not doing magic in this stories sounds somewhat like schizophrenia. Both Sarafina and Tom's mother tried to hurt themselves and/or others in the episodes that resulted in hospitalization. Tom describes his mother's episode as such:\n\n\"'Did she hurt you badly?' asked Reason. 'When she tried to kill you?' She looked concerned, which made Tom squirm. He didn't much enjoy people feeling sorry for him.\n'No, Dad got there first. She was waving a knife around saying that she'd kill us. She cut Cathy [his sister], but Dad reckons it was an accident. Cath's got a scar on her shoulder, it's tiny, but.'\"\n\nEarlier, he says about her:\n\n\"She kept trying to kill herself. Then one time when I was little, she tried to kill me and Cathy too. So she's in Kalder Park now... Mum would never take her meds, ... She thinks they put devils in her head.\"\n\nSarafina, too, had had multiple episodes before being hospitalized:\n\n\"Sarafina talked to people who weren't there. She insisted we walk in straight lines, for days at a time. Sometimes she got confused, wasn't sure where or who she was. Then I would lead her back to the hotel room or caravan or campsite - wherever it was we were staying - and explain where we were and why and give Sarafina a mathematical or logical problem to solve. She always could. Solving the problem would bring her back. Her episodes never lasted long, and until Dubbo she'd never been scary mad.\"\n\nIn the hospital when Reason visited, Sarafina kept on talking about her mother and acting as if she couldn't hear Reason's replies unless they fit what she wanted to discuss. She didn't give sufficient context for Reason to understand her, so that when she gave Reason directions to find a dead cat hidden in Esmerelda's cellar, Reason thought she was discussing a person. Then Sarafina said \"It's not too bad, ... Being insane. It's not too bad at all. There are worse things. It's pretty here.\"\nAfter thinking about this book, I wondered why anyone would use magic at all. Though clearly the mental illness that results from not using magic is unpleasant, it's clearly better than dying in your teens or twenties. Even the length of time before Sarafina had her breakdown was longer than that, so if you treated mental illness as equivalent to death Sarafina was likely still better off. And as she states, mental illness is not constant unending suffering. She clearly felt it was better than death.\nThe only way they could justify choosing magic and early death over mental illness is if they view being mentally ill as worse than death. This is an attitude which is not only wrong but very dangerous, because a logical conclusion of the 'better dead than disabled' view is that killing disabled people does them a favour.\n\nLabels: , , ,<|endoftext|>I'm trying to convert a c++ program from visual studio 6 to visual studio 9 and am having difficulties with files that contain a flexgrid active-X extension.

It's at the perspective of Neef, a child stolen by fairies at a young age. I'm not going to reveal too much of the plot, but she ends up meeting the fairy created to replace her, who she nicknames Changeling. Changeling has meltdowns, hates changes in plan, is very literal and rule-bound, hates to be touched, is great with computers, has an excellent memory and has received assistance in social skills from a psychologist.\nI looked up the entry for that book on (see above) and read the comments. Many people guessed, probably rightly so, that Changeling's personality is modeled after autistic people. Apparently in the acknowledgements Delia Sherman thanked someone for teaching her about Asperger Syndrome (I rarely read the acknowledgements). It's very likely, therefore, that Changeling was intended to be autistic or autistic-like.\nOne person on commented:\n\n\"I did have a bit of a problem with the book equating Asperger's Syndrome with Changlings.

It was these West Javanese \u2018magnificent seven\u2019 who were in turn, responsible for the further spread of Tijaniyah, not only in West Java but also in Central and East Java because later, many other Javanese muqaddam were initiated by one or more of them. Among the Tijani, this silsilah grew into a complex crisscrossing spiritual chain as some muqaddam for various reasons, either for seniority or intellectual considerations, took initiation from more than one superior muqaddam (muqaddam min muqaddam). Kyai Hawi, father of a current muqaddam at Buntet, Kyai Fahim, for example, took initiation from Kyai Saleh, Kyai Abbas, Kyai Anas, Kyai Akyas and, when he went to Mecca, from a very senior muqaddam, \u00a0Syeikh Muhammad Hafiz at-Tijani. The latter had only two Syeikh that spiritually linked him with Ahmad at-Tijani, the founder of the order.[41]\n\nFigure 8.2: Main Entrance of Tijaniyah to Java.\nFigure 8.2: Main Entrance of Tijaniyah to Java.\n\nKyai Abdullah Syifa, another current muqaddam at Buntet, took his initiation from Kyai Hawi and Kyai Akyas. Kyai Fauzan Fathullah (Sidagiri, Prussian, East Java), the writer of Biografi Alquthbul Maktuum, took initiation from Kyai Khozin \u00a0Syamsul Mu'in (Probolinggo), Kyai Muhammad bin Yusuf (Surabaya) and Syeikh Muhammad bin \u2018Ali bin \u2018Abd Allah at-Thayyib (Bogor).\n\nSyeikh Abd al-Hamid al-Futi, the main gate for East Java, traced his authority from Muhammad Alfa Hasyim (source 2 number 4 of table 8.3). In turn, \u2018Abd al-Hamid al-Futi, initiated two East Javanese, Kyai Khozin Syamsul Arifin and Kyai Jauhar. Kyai Khozin Syamsul Arifin initiated Kyai Mukhlis (Surabaya), whereas Kyai Jauhar initiated Kyai Muhammad Tijani (Madura). Thus, even a muqaddam who took initiation from only one superior muqaddam will automatically inherit multiple silsilah because through Syeikh \u2018Ali bin Abd Allah at-Thayyib, he can trace at least two lines, those of Syeikh Adam al-Barnawi and Syeikh Muhammad Alfa Hasyim. How complex the silsilah is can be observed from Figure 8.4.\n\nWithin the Buntet line, the persons who are considered the most instrumental and are held responsible for the spread of Tijaniyah, are Kyai Anas (1883\u20131945) and Kyai Abbas and, for the next generation, Kyai Hawi. Kyai Anas was the son of Kyai Abdul Jamil, younger brother of Kyai Abbas. Like Kyai Abbas, Kyai Anas first studied with Kyai Nasuha at Pesantren Sukunsari (Plered), then with Kyai Agus (Pekalongan), and Kyai Hasyim Asy'ari at Tebuireng (Jombang). Together with Kyai Abbas, he was also involved in the foundation of Pesantren Lirboyo (Kediri) led by Kyai Abdul Manaf. He went to Mecca for both pilgrimage and study while his brother, Kyai Abbas, led Pesantren Buntet. It was due to Kyai Abbas\u2019 advice that Kyai Anas took Tarekat Tijaniyah. Kyai Abbas himself met Syeikh \u2018Ali at-Thayyib in Medina but, despite his interest in Tijaniyah, he did not take an initiation at that time because he bore responsibility as a Syattariyah mursyid. Kyai Anas took his brother's advice and upon his return he publicly established tarekat Tijaniyah and thus, there were two tarekat in Pesantren Buntet at the same time, the Syattariyah led by Kyai Abbas, and Tijaniyah led by Kyai Anas. Eventually, when both tarekat grew larger, Kyai Abbas took Tijaniyah initiation, not from his younger brother, Kyai Anas, but from Syeikh \u2018Ali bin \u00a0\u2018Abd Allah at-Thayyib al-Madani when the latter visited Java (Bogor) in 1937. In 1939 Kyai Anas moved from Buntet and established his own pesantren at Kilapat, an adjacent village south-east of Buntet, where adultery and burglary were common. He named his pesantren \u2018Sidamulya,\u2019 meaning \u2018to become lofty.\u2019 Later, the name Kilapat for the village, where the new pesantren is located, was also renamed Sidamulya, following the pesantren's name. The earlier reputation of the village gradually vanished and it gained a reputation as a santri village.\n\nFigure 8.3: Recruitment of Tijaniyah Muqaddam from Buntet\nFigure 8.3: Recruitment of Tijaniyah Muqaddam from Buntet\nFigure 8.4: Spiritual Genealogy of Some Tijaniyah Muqaddam in Java\nFigure 8.4: Spiritual Genealogy of Some Tijaniyah Muqaddam in Java\n\n\u00a0By then, Kyai Abbas was associated with and led the two tarekat, becoming mursyid of Syattariyah and muqaddam of Tijaniyah at the same time. To some people this seemed to show the extent of Kyai Abbas' leadership capacity and open-mindedness. Not only did he successfully lead the pesantren but also two tarekat centred at his pesantren. To others it was puzzling how Kyai Abbas managed his association with the two tarekat, considering Tijaniyah necessitates every Tijani to abandon other orders. Kyai Abbas himself as a Tijaniyah muqaddam broke the Tijaniyah rule because he did not give up his association with Syattariyah. When I asked about the matter, informants in Buntet of either Syattariyah or Tijaniyah always referred to this as an exception due to both Kyai Abbas' intellectual and spiritual excellence. Moreover, it was said that it was necessary especially after Kyai Anas, the muqaddam of Tijaniyah, had established his own pesantren, while in Buntet both tarekat were growing larger. No one directly raised the issue, especially not even Syeikh Ali at-Thayyib himself, the initiator of Kyai Abbas, suggesting that in certain circumstances, Tijaniyah strict rules could also have exceptions.\n\nIn their career as Tijaniyah muqaddam Kyai Anas and Kyai Abbas produced a number of new muqaddam. Kyai Anas initiated Kyai Muhammad (Brebes), Kyai Bakri (Kesepuhan, Cirebon), Kyai Muhammad Rais (Cirebon),[42] Kyai Murtadlo (Buntet), Kyai Abdul Khair, Kyai Hawi (Buntet) and Kyai Soleh (Pesawahan). Repeating the initiation made by Kyai Anas, Kyai Abbas initiated Kyai Soleh and Kyai Hawi (Buntet). He also initiated Kyai Badruzzaman (Garut) and Kyai Utsman Dlomiri (Cimahi, Bandung) before both kyai repeated an initiation from Syeikh \u2018Ali bin \u2018Abd Allah at-Thayyib al-Madani when the latter made another visit to Java. Among the muqaddam initiated by Kyai Anas and Kyai Abbas, Kyai Hawi excelled himself by producing seven more muqaddam. He initiated Kyai Abdullah Syifa (Buntet), Kyai Fahim Hawi, his son (Buntet), Kyai Junaidi, son of Kyai Anas (Sidamulya), Kyai \u00a0Muhammad Yusuf (", "base_doc": "Cimahi, Bandung) and three brothers Kyai Abbas, Kyai Anas and Kyai Akyas (Buntet).

It doesn't matter how fit you are or how smartly you pace yourself\u2014your body simply can't perform to it's potential if it's lacking fluids. Every long run in your training cycle is a chance to practice and refine your hydration plan. Don't just roll the dice on race day.\n\nMore: What You Need to Know About Runner Hydration\u00a0\n\nHydration as Lifestyle\n\nHydrating properly is more than just making sure you have enough bottles in your Fuel Belt before you leave the house. As an athlete completing runs longer than 90 minutes in duration, hydration needs to be part of how you live your day-to-day life.\u00a0Odds are, you are running five or more times a week. This means that at any given point in time you are likely less than 12 hours away from your next run.\n\nWhether you are recovering from your most recent workout or setting the stage for your next effort, you need to be hydrating. Here are some easy ways to make staying hydrated part of your day-to-day life:\n\n 1. Carry a water bottle with you and try to drink 60 ounces of water every day.\n 2. Drink a glass of water for every cup of coffee or can of soda you have each day.\n 3. Strive to drink a glass of water with every meal.\u00a0\n 4. Constantly monitor the color of your urine to see how you are doing. Light yellow is your goal.\n 5. If you drink alcohol, be sure to drink some water.\n\nThree Phases of Hydration\n\nFrom an athletic perspective, it's helpful to break your hydration activities into distinct phases. This will make it easier to focus a specific activity instead of just trying to achieve general hydration. Here are three key phases to consider; note that the guidance here is for a moderately hot day from 75 to 85 degrees. If your weather situation is more extreme, you will need to experiment with increasing your fluids during training to know what your body can do on race day.\n\nMore: The Truth About Hydration in the Heat\n\nStep 1: Before Your Workout\n\nYour goal is to start hydrating for your next run at a time that is equal to the duration of your planned run. So if you have a 60-minute run, your hydration should be game on at t-minus one hour. If your run is two hours, then you have two hours to focus. Remember that rule.\n\nBefore a workout, your goal is to make sure that you have both food and fluids in your system.\u00a0It's easy to pick the wrong stuff to eat, especially since you have a workout looming. Make sure that you have easy-to-digest, performance-oriented foods in this window. Energy bars are a great option, and you'll want to have something with about 60 minutes to go before your long run. Then with about 15 minutes to go, you'll want to take in a gel with six to eight ounces of sports drink or water.\n\nMore: Which Fluid Hydrates Best: Water or a Sports Drink?\n\nDiscuss This Article\n\nFollow your passions\n\nConnect with ACTIVE.COM<|endoftext|>(505) 702-8521\n\n\nShannon has been in the Veterinary field since 1991.

See OpenSearch Support for more details.\n\nEmbargo Support\n\nWhat is an Embargo?\n\nAn embargo is a temporary access restriction placed on content, commencing at time of accession. It's scope or duration may vary, but the fact that it eventually expires is what distinguishes it from other content restrictions. For example, it is not unusual for content destined for DSpace to come with permanent restrictions on use or access based on license-driven or other IP-based requirements that limit access to institutionally affiliated users. Restrictions such as these are imposed and managed using standard administrative tools in DSpace, typically by attaching specific policies to Items or Collections, Bitstreams, etc. The embargo functionally introduced in 1.6, however, includes tools to automate the imposition and removal of restrictions in managed timeframes.\n\nEmbargo Model and Life-Cycle\n\nFunctionally, the embargo system allows you to attach 'terms' to an item before it is placed into the repository, which express how the embargo should be applied. What do 'we mean by terms' here? They are really any expression that the system is capable of turning into (1) the time the embargo expires, and (2) a concrete set of access restrictions. Some examples:\n\"2020-09-12\" - an absolute date (i.e. the date embargo will be lifted)\"6 months\" - a time relative to when the item is accessioned\"forever\" - an indefinite, or open-ended embargo\"local only until 2015\" - both a time and an exception (public has no access until 2015, local users OK immediately)\"Nature Publishing Group standard\" - look-up to a policy somewhere (typically 6 months)\nThese terms are 'interpreted' by the embargo system to yield a specific date on which the embargo can be removed or 'lifted', and a specific set of access policies. Obviously, some terms are easier to interpret than others (the absolute date really requires none at all), and the 'default' embargo logic understands only the most basic terms (the first and third examples above). But as we will see below, the embargo system provides you with the ability to add in your own 'interpreters' to cope with any terms expressions you wish to have. This date that is the result of the interpretation is stored with the item and the embargo system detects when that date has passed, and removes the embargo (\"lifts it\"), so the item bitstreams become available. Here is a more detailed life-cycle for an embargoed item:\n\n 2. Terms interpretation/imposition. In DSpace terminology, when an item has exited the last of any workflow steps (or if none have been defined for it), it is said to be 'installed' into the repository. At this precise time, the 'interpretation' of the terms occurs, and a computed 'lift date' is assigned, which like the terms is recorded in a configurable metadata field. It is important to understand that this interpretation happens only once, (just like the installation), and cannot be revisited later. Thus, although an administrator can assign a new value to the metadata field holding the terms after the item has been installed, this will have no effect on the embargo, whose 'force' now resides entirely in the 'lift date' value. For this reason, you cannot embargo content already in your repository (at least using standard tools). The other action taken at installation time is the actual imposition of the embargo. The default behavior here is simply to remove the read policies on all the bundles and bitstreams except for the \"LICENSE\" or \"METADATA\" bundles. See the section on Extending Embargo Functionality for how to alter this behavior. Also note that since these policy changes occur before installation, there is no time during which embargoed content is 'exposed' (accessible by non-administrators). The terms interpretation and imposition together are called 'setting' the embargo, and the component that performs them both is called the embargo 'setter'.\n 3. Embargo Period. After an embargoed item has been installed, the policy restrictions remain in effect until removed. This is not an automatic process, however: a 'lifter' must be run periodically to look for items whose 'lift date' is past. Note that this means the effective removal of an embargo is not the lift date, but the earliest date after the lift date that the lifter is run. Typically, a nightly cron-scheduled invocation of the lifter is more than adequate, given the granularity of embargo terms. Also note that during the embargo period, all metadata of the item remains visible. This default behavior can be changed. One final point to note is that the 'lift date', although it was computed and assigned during the previous stage, is in the end a regular metadata field. That means, if there are extraordinary circumstances that require an administrator (or collection editor\u201a anyone with edit permissions on metadata) to change the lift date, they can do so. Thus, they can 'revise' the lift date without reference to the original terms. This date will be checked the next time the 'lifter' is run. One could immediately lift the embargo by setting the lift date to the current day, or change it to 'forever' to indefinitely postpone lifting.\n 4. Embargo Lift. When the lifter discovers an item whose lift date is in the past, it removes (lifts) the embargo. The default behavior of the lifter is to add the resource policies that would have been added had the embargo not been imposed. That is, it replicates the standard DSpace behavior, in which an item inherits it's policies from its owning collection. As with all other parts of the embargo system, you may replace or extend the default behavior of the lifter (see section V. below). You may wish, e.g. to send an email to an administrator or other interested parties, when an embargoed item becomes available.\n 5. Post Embargo. After the embargo has been lifted, the item ceases to respond to any of the embargo life-cycle events. The values of the metadata fields reflect essentially historical or provenance values. With the exception of the additional metadata fields, they are indistinguishable from items that were never subject to embargo.\n\nMore Embargo Details\n\nMore details on Embargo configuration, including specific examples can be found in the Embargo section of the documentation.\n\n \u2022 No labels\n\n1 Comment\n\n 1.

Here\u2019s what we know about Samsung\u2019s newest flagship phone so far.\n\nWhat to Expect from the Samsung Galaxy S9\n\n1. Release Date\n\nThe Galaxy S9 is rumored to be available for preorder on March 1, with an official release date closer to mid-March. Those who preorder the phone will likely get it a few days earlier than the date on which it\u2019s released in stores.\n\n2. Price\n\nThere haven\u2019t been any price leaks in American dollars for the Galaxy S9, but some sources say that it will start somewhere between 950,000 and 999,000 Korean won. That\u2019s in the range of $890 and $935, which is about 10 percent more than the cost of the Galaxy S8 upon release.\n\nsamsung galaxy s9 price preorder\n\n3. Design and Display\n\nThe Galaxy S9 will look similar to the Galaxy S8, according to leaked images. The main difference is the fingerprint sensor, which is now directly below the camera instead of on the side. It\u2019s a more natural location that will result in fewer camera lens smudges.\n\nThe phone has a 5.8-inch screen on the regular model, and a 6.2-inch display on the S9+ model. The screen will take up 85.3 percent of the front of the phone for the S9 model, and 86.2 percent of the S9+, which is just a slight change from the phone\u2019s predecessor.\n\n4.

This makes use of optical properties of special materials, wheras the Klingons and their friends tightly packed and modulated energy fields to achieve a similar result.\n\nI think the closest thing to this in Trek is the genetically enhanced agents of the Suliban Cabal. Their colour-changing skin and biomimetic garments are not sophisticated enough to produce the kinds of effects we see in the show... but some crazy optical properties would do the trick.\n\nTuesday, May 23, 2006\n\nSure you did...\n\nIt amazes me how some people will try to get away with things.\n\nWe have one user who is a habitual offender\u2026 she is, to put it bluntly, incompetent. I know this because it took four of us a week and a half to train her on how to use the system. It\u2019s a badly designed and unnecessarily complicated user interface, and very different to what she was accustomed to, but everyone else had cottoned onto the basics after 2 days. Even the stupid ones.\n\nOne of the problems with our system, although some people see it as a selling point, is that it is not at all forgiving of user error. One slip of the finger can easily, and frequently does, undo hours of work. All the rest of the users have come to terms with this, and have become far more meticulous and disciplined in their work \u2013 which is why it was a selling point.\n\nSure, they all make mistakes from time to time, but they\u2019re all (but one) fully prepared to admit their error when it happens, and, albeit reluctantly, will redo their work. They mumble and groan, and log unnecessary support calls to deal with their frustration, but they deal with it.\n\nBut this user is something else.\n\nEven though we are able to track her every action on the system, and are able to see precisely what she has done, and when she did it, she remains adamant that she does nothing wrong. She concocts elaborate fantasies about other users usurping her login details and sabotaging her work. (I wouldn\u2019t blame them if they did, but the system\u2019s logs clearly show that nothing of the sort happened).\n\nShe frequently (on a daily basis) comes to my desk (as opposed to following the proper support call logging procedure) with issues that have arisen. She is unable to do something\u2026 and upon investigation, I can see that she has already done it, but incorrectly \u2013 user error.\n\nUpon seeing the activity logs on my screen, the rest of the users will sigh and shuffle off to their desks to go and make up for their stupid, but perfectly normal, mistake. But not Mrs. B.\n\n\u201cI did not do it!\u201d she will demand.\n\u201cI aborted, I did not confirm. Are you saying that if I abort it will happen anyway?\u201d she will continue to argue.\n\nThis is usually followed by a detailed explanation of the correct process, accompanied by a demonstration in the test environment. She will always insist that she followed the process precisely, despite the fact that I can prove otherwise.\n\nWhy, when confronted by irrefutable evidence, will deluded people and liars refuse to deviate from their positions? Is their cognitive bias so overpowering that they would sacrifice dignity and the respect of their peers rather than admit their fault?\n\nIt's not as if she has anything to gain by denying it. She won't get into trouble for a simple error. No matter how upset she gets, there's nothing we can do to fix it. Why expend all that energy and waste all that time?\n\n\nMonday, May 22, 2006\n\n\nThis weekend, while doing something completely unrelated, something sank in: a way of looking at science I hadn't seen before. I had been aware of it at a logical level, but I didn't really grasp it until now.\n\nScience is not, nor could it be, a search for ultimate truth. Truth doesn't exist, all that exists is an infinite number of parallel, but separate, relative perspectives. That which we percieve as \"truth\" is nothing more than a commonality, a golden thread, that ties those perspectives together and allows each of us to exist in the same space-time with a practically similar conceptualisation of the world around us.\n\nThat's old news. This is the new bit.\n\nWhile I've seen science as a method by which we eliminate the impossible, this was in contrast with my belief in the concept of IDIC (Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations) which basically says that in an infinite universe, all things can, and will, happen.\n\nAccording to IDIC, nothing is impossible. So how can science be a process of eliminating impossible things if none exist? Here is the crux of my cognitive dissonance.\n\nThen it occurred to me that perhaps I was using too strict a definition for the word 'impossible'.

This makes use of optical properties of special materials, wheras the Klingons and their friends tightly packed and modulated energy fields to achieve a similar result.\n\nI think the closest thing to this in Trek is the genetically enhanced agents of the Suliban Cabal. Their colour-changing skin and biomimetic garments are not sophisticated enough to produce the kinds of effects we see in the show... but some crazy optical properties would do the trick.\n\nTuesday, May 23, 2006\n\nSure you did...\n\nIt amazes me how some people will try to get away with things.\n\nWe have one user who is a habitual offender\u2026 she is, to put it bluntly, incompetent. I know this because it took four of us a week and a half to train her on how to use the system. It\u2019s a badly designed and unnecessarily complicated user interface, and very different to what she was accustomed to, but everyone else had cottoned onto the basics after 2 days. Even the stupid ones.\n\nOne of the problems with our system, although some people see it as a selling point, is that it is not at all forgiving of user error. One slip of the finger can easily, and frequently does, undo hours of work. All the rest of the users have come to terms with this, and have become far more meticulous and disciplined in their work \u2013 which is why it was a selling point.\n\nSure, they all make mistakes from time to time, but they\u2019re all (but one) fully prepared to admit their error when it happens, and, albeit reluctantly, will redo their work. They mumble and groan, and log unnecessary support calls to deal with their frustration, but they deal with it.\n\nBut this user is something else.\n\nEven though we are able to track her every action on the system, and are able to see precisely what she has done, and when she did it, she remains adamant that she does nothing wrong. She concocts elaborate fantasies about other users usurping her login details and sabotaging her work. (I wouldn\u2019t blame them if they did, but the system\u2019s logs clearly show that nothing of the sort happened).\n\nShe frequently (on a daily basis) comes to my desk (as opposed to following the proper support call logging procedure) with issues that have arisen. She is unable to do something\u2026 and upon investigation, I can see that she has already done it, but incorrectly \u2013 user error.\n\nUpon seeing the activity logs on my screen, the rest of the users will sigh and shuffle off to their desks to go and make up for their stupid, but perfectly normal, mistake. But not Mrs. B.\n\n\u201cI did not do it!\u201d she will demand.\n\u201cI aborted, I did not confirm. Are you saying that if I abort it will happen anyway?\u201d she will continue to argue.\n\nThis is usually followed by a detailed explanation of the correct process, accompanied by a demonstration in the test environment. She will always insist that she followed the process precisely, despite the fact that I can prove otherwise.\n\nWhy, when confronted by irrefutable evidence, will deluded people and liars refuse to deviate from their positions? Is their cognitive bias so overpowering that they would sacrifice dignity and the respect of their peers rather than admit their fault?\n\nIt's not as if she has anything to gain by denying it. She won't get into trouble for a simple error. No matter how upset she gets, there's nothing we can do to fix it. Why expend all that energy and waste all that time?\n\n\nMonday, May 22, 2006\n\n\nThis weekend, while doing something completely unrelated, something sank in: a way of looking at science I hadn't seen before. I had been aware of it at a logical level, but I didn't really grasp it until now.\n\nScience is not, nor could it be, a search for ultimate truth. Truth doesn't exist, all that exists is an infinite number of parallel, but separate, relative perspectives. That which we percieve as \"truth\" is nothing more than a commonality, a golden thread, that ties those perspectives together and allows each of us to exist in the same space-time with a practically similar conceptualisation of the world around us.\n\nThat's old news. This is the new bit.\n\nWhile I've seen science as a method by which we eliminate the impossible, this was in contrast with my belief in the concept of IDIC (Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations) which basically says that in an infinite universe, all things can, and will, happen.\n\nAccording to IDIC, nothing is impossible. So how can science be a process of eliminating impossible things if none exist? Here is the crux of my cognitive dissonance.\n\nThen it occurred to me that perhaps I was using too strict a definition for the word 'impossible'. I've always taken it to mean that if something is impossible, it cannot ever, under any circumstances, in this or any other place or time, happen.\n\nPerhaps it's more a case of the probability of something being infanitessimally small... quasistatic.\n\nLet me put it this way: if you draw a line between two points, that line is composed of an infinite number of points, each of zero size. If you were to choose one at random, each point's chances of being chosen would be 1/infinity = 0. However, the chances of a point being chosen is 1/1 = 1. One point will definitely be chosen, even if its chances of being chosen were zero.\n\nSo, in an infinite universe, everything will happen at least once, even if it is impossible - by force of sheer probability. And that's the key word: probability.\n\nScience's job is to examine the observable universe and determine the probabilities of things happening. If something has a sufficiently high probability of happening (like an apple falling to the ground, as opposed to flying sideways and spontaneously turning into a salmon) it can be used to determine a \"law\", like gravity. Those laws aren't absolute, but they're pretty darn close to it.\n\nThe probability of an apple flying sideways and turning into a salmon is pretty low... I'd say zero. That's what science would tell us. But, at some point, somewhere in the universe, at least once, an apple will fly sideways and turn into a salmon. It's a probable certainty.\n\nThursday, May 11, 2006\n\nMinicon Watch\n\nFor those of you who are interested, this is the site you need to be watching for updates on the Star Trek convention I\u2019m helping to organise.\n\nSee you there!\n\nWednesday, May 10, 2006\n\nI'm Doing My Inconsequential Part For The Environment | The Onion - America's Finest News Source\n\n\nCome on everyone!

There are three basic accentual methods: stress, tone, and length. In English each word has at least one primary stressed syllable, as in weath\u02c8er; words of several syllables may also have secondary stress as in el\u02c8e-va\u02cctor. In English, vowels in unaccented syllables are often pronounced as \u0259 regardless of the orthographic letter. Thus, the vowels of the second syllables in cir\u02c8cus, na\u02c8tion, ther\u02c8mos, eas\u02c8ily, saun\u02c8a, and sor\u02c8rel are all pronounced the same. Sentence stress, known as intonation or contour, includes three basic patterns: the statement, It's a dog, where the pitch pattern is level-high-low; the yes/no question, Is it a dog? where the pattern is level-high pitch; and the command, Catch him! which begins high and ends low. Both word stress and sentence stress occur in English. However, emphasis of certain words within a sentence is optional. Tonal languages, such as Chinese and Swedish, have a system of high:low and/or rising:falling tones. Duration or length of sounds (quantity) is used in some languages to create systematic differences. No language uses all three types of accentual systems. In writing, accent is also used to show syllable stress as in Spanish Mar\u00eda (acute accent) and Italian piet\u00e0 (grave accent). Such written symbols, misleadingly termed accents, are often used only to signal specific pronunciation rather than stress, as in French \u00e9l\u00e8ve. The word accent in English is also understood to mean the pronunciation and speech patterns that are typical of a speech community; it also denotes the particular manner of uttered expression that lends a special shade of meaning, as when one speaks in harsh or gentle accents.

A heavy recoiling caliber can hurt to shoot. If the shooter is not comfortable with the recoil of the gun and cartridge combination they are firing, they will anticipate the pain, which can cause them to flinch before the shot is fired. This is a very common problem, and can be demonstrated by the classic \"ball and dummy\" drill, where live and dummy ammunition are mixed together, so that the shooter doesn't know ahead of time if a given pull of the trigger will fire the gun or not. If there is any movement of the gun when a dummy is fired, it indicates the user is anticipating the recoil and would have pulled the shot off target. If, even when focusing on good technique, a shooter still flinches on the dummy shots, then it is time to look at methods for reducing felt recoil. A padded grip or buttplate, a muzzle brake, a heavier gun, a lighter cartridge, or a combination of those items can go a long way to reducing the felt recoil, improving the user's confidence, and eliminating the anticipation.\n\n\nTolerances between moving parts are very important when it comes to maintaining a high level of consistency. Loose parts will tend not to fit together the same way every shot, and those differences can result in poor accuracy. This does not mean that tolerances should be as tight as possible, however. Firearms are generally used outdoors, and even modern smokeless powder leaves some residual soot in the gun. Dust, moisture, and soot will build up on the moving parts, and if there isn't sufficient allowance for some buildup then parts that should lock into place won't lock anymore, and parts that should slide smoothly will become stiff. As Mickhail Kalashikov, designer of the AK-47, said in reference to his creation, \"Best is the enemy of good enough\". The AK-47 is a military rifle, designed to be used by often poorly trained, conscripted troops, in all weather and all seasons. By allowing plenty of room around the moving parts, Kalashnikov created a rifle that on its best day might shoot under 5 minutes of arc, but will shoot under conditions that will cause most other firearms to fail miserably. The M16, on the other hand, is often criticized for unreliability under extreme circumstances, but most are capable of 2 minutes of arc or better, with match grade examples shooting along with some of the most accurate rifles in the world, with samples often producing groups of 0.25 minute of arc at ranges of under 200 yards. Picking the right balance between accuracy and reliability depends entirely on the situation in which the gun will be used. For a gun used only for shooting targets, the preference will be to trade reliability for accuracy; for a defensive weapon, reliability is far more important. For a sport hunting rifle, the balance will be somewhere in the middle.\n\nSight to barrel alignment[edit]\n\nOne of the most obvious areas where tolerances affect accuracy, especially in semiautomatic pistols, is the sight-to-barrel fit. Since one or both of the sights are often located on the slide of the pistol, which moves independently from the barrel, having the slide and barrel lock up consistently is very important. Since free and easy movement of the slide is also important for reliability, production guns often err on the side of a loose tolerance. Aftermarket barrels are often machined slightly oversized, so that careful removal of metal is needed in areas critical to the lockup. This allows the gunsmith to carefully match the barrel to the slide, providing as tight a lockup as desired for the proper balance of accuracy and reliability. Scoped pistols add an additional level of difficulty, as the scopes are often mounted to the frame, which is independent of both slide and barrel in the common short recoil design. In this case, the slide must be fitted to the frame, then the barrel to the slide. It is for this reason that competition quality pistols are often 2 or 3 times the price of the mass-produced versions.\n\nSight-to-barrel alignment also applies to some rifles, particularly the Ruger 10/22. Since the barrel slips into the receiver rather than threading in, the junction is relatively flexible, especially when the barrel heats and expands, pushing against the wooden stock. Since scopes are generally mounted on the receiver, special care must be taken to minimize the effects that barrel heating can have on this joint. Another approach is to use a cantilever mount, which mounts directly to the barrel, and has a bar that extends over the receiver. This bar may bolt to the receiver, adding strength to the joint, or may float entirely above it, with the scope mounted to the bar rather than the receiver.\n\nBolt to barrel fit[edit]\n\nWhen a cartridge is fired, the pressures in the case can range from 10,000 to 65,000 psi (70\u2013450 MPa, 700\u20134,500 bar) for common cartridges. The case, usually made of brass, expands under the pressure of firing to fit the chamber tightly. If the case is loose in the chamber before firing, this will cause a potentially significant change in the chamber volume, which will have an impact on the pressure curve. The sudden pressure can also cause a loose bolt to shift back, which will also change the effective chamber volume and thus the pressure curve. The initial shape of the pressure curve can have a profound effect on the behavior of the cartridge. For example, the 357 SIG cartridge, which has a very short neck to hold the bullet in place, has been observed to show significant case deformation due to serious overpressure by the bullet being pushed just 1/8\" too deep in the case. This shows how much pressures can change with even a small reduction in effective chamber volume; while the effects of an increase aren't nearly as dangerous, they can cause accuracy problems.\n\nTo achieve the best possible bolt-to-barrel fit in a bolt action rifle, lapping compound is applied to the locking lugs of the bolt, then the bolt is locked in place with a dummy cartridge in the chamber. The dummy case pushes the bolt back, causing the lugs to lock up firmly. The lapping compound will quickly smooth out any high spots, and provide a smooth, solid surface for the bolt to lock into. For best results when firing the rifle, cases that have previously been fired in the rifle are reloaded, and are resized only at the neck, so the case will fit into the chamber as tightly as possible. This prevents any space at the shoulder of the chamber for the case to expand into. This solution is generally only viable for bolt action rifle and pistols, since the bolt action provides enough leverage to push the tight fitting cartridge into the chamber. While semiautomatic and other designs can benefit from a good bolt to barrel fit, they do not have the power to cam a neck-sized cartridge into place, and so full length resized cases must be used.\n\nMovement under recoil[edit]\n\nUpon firing, a significant amount of momentum is transferred to the firearm in reaction to the acceleration of the bullet. While this may only accelerate the rifle to a speed measurable in inches per second, that force is applied in milliseconds. This sudden acceleration is eventually transferred to the user, whose flexible body absorbs and dissipates the energy. Even transfer of this momentum must be consistent to achieve the best accuracy, because the momentum transfer is well under way before the bullet exits the barrel.\n\nWith rifles, the big issue is the fit between stock and barrel. The stock is a significant part of the mass of the rifle, and if it shifts relative to the barrel and/or action, then it changes how the rifle reacts to the recoil. This concern is addressed by bedding the action. When an action is bedded, portions of the action and the corresponding portions of the stock are made to fit together very precisely. In pillar bedding, this is done by machining metal (usually aluminum) pillars that perfectly match mating spots on the barreled action. The pillars are then epoxied into the stock, and the barreled action screwed down tightly to the pillars. The other method, far more", "base_doc": "mm Auto case down the back of one's shirt.\n\nAnother issue that is not strictly related to the gun design, but does certainly apply to fitting the gun to the user is recoil. A heavy recoiling caliber can hurt to shoot. If the shooter is not comfortable with the recoil of the gun and cartridge combination they are firing, they will anticipate the pain, which can cause them to flinch before the shot is fired. This is a very common problem, and can be demonstrated by the classic \"ball and dummy\" drill, where live and dummy ammunition are mixed together, so that the shooter doesn't know ahead of time if a given pull of the trigger will fire the gun or not. If there is any movement of the gun when a dummy is fired, it indicates the user is anticipating the recoil and would have pulled the shot off target. If, even when focusing on good technique, a shooter still flinches on the dummy shots, then it is time to look at methods for reducing felt recoil. A padded grip or buttplate, a muzzle brake, a heavier gun, a lighter cartridge, or a combination of those items can go a long way to reducing the felt recoil, improving the user's confidence, and eliminating the anticipation.\n\n\nTolerances between moving parts are very important when it comes to maintaining a high level of consistency.

The pillars are then epoxied into the stock, and the barreled action screwed down tightly to the pillars. The other method, far more accessible to the do-it-yourself user, is glass bedding. In this method, material is removed from the stock around the critical areas (generally where the screws attach action to stock) and then these sections are dammed off with a soft substance like clay. These areas are then filled with a mix of epoxy and fiberglass or other high strength filler. The barreled action, covered in a suitable mold release agent, is then screwed into the action and left while the epoxy cures. If all goes well, the result, after cleanup, will be a stock that contains a perfect impression of the barreled action - of course, if all doesn't go well, the user ends up with the action glued to the stock, which generally means destroying the stock to remove the action. Some die-hard accuracy shooters who consider a barrel with more than 1,000 rounds through it \"worn out\" will go so far as to intentionally glue the barreled action to the stock, with the intent of tearing it up when the barrel must be replaced. This makes it impossible to disassemble the rifle without destroying components, so most shooters are not willing to go to that extreme.\n\nTo explain the importance of movement under recoil in pistols, first consider the following paradox.

Also in the mix is a cheery pub owner and the town witch, an elderly woman who terrorizes others from her motorized wheelchair, and Jackie's wife, Annie (Fionnula Flanagan), who acts as his conscience.\n\nHere's a rare case of a film that needs to be longer.\n\n\"Waking Ned Devine\" clocks in at barely 90 minutes, but since it's so friendly and pleasing to the eye, a bit more story exposition would have been wonderful.\n\nMovie Review \"Waking Ned Devine'\n\n* CAST Ian Bannen, David Kelly, Fionnula Flanagan\n\n\n\n* THEATER Embarcadero\n\n* EVALUATION ***<<|endoftext|>The Biggest Prime Number, So Far\n\nNPR's Mike Pesca talks to Michael Shafer, a 26-year-old chemical engineering graduate student who just discovered the largest prime number known to man.\n\n\n\n\nSupport comes from:<|endoftext|>\ufeff Wife of Zeus [Crossword Clue Answer] - BORDERPOLAR\n\nWife of Zeus [Crossword Clue Answer]\n\nLast Updated: August 17, 2022 @ 09:32\nPhoto of author\nWritten By Anastasios Antoniadis\n\n\nHaving trouble with a crossword where the clue is \u201cWife of Zeus\u201c?

The right mix of veterans and rookies with a few shipers and a few bigger, uglier mugs. A backup whose job is not be thought of, and we're good. That combination can win the Cup on any given year if the stars align right in the playoffs (as in : after you beat washington and pittsburgh there souldn't be two more rounds of hockey to play, to quote an example chosen at random).\n\nI hope this clears things up.\n\nTuesday, March 29, 2011\n\nOk, now who's ready for the playoffs?\n\nNow are we in?\u00a0 Can we talk about the playoffs now?\n\nYou prefer talking about our magic number? About the fraction of one percent chance we miss them still?\n\nIf the Habs are PTSD from the PatCHes assassination attempt, Habs fans are PTSD from the post-Serge Savard era.\n\nTo kick things off I say let's prepare for boston. Being ready for this year's boston will make us a better team because they are a better team on paper than depleted pittsburgh or defence-less washington. Plus you can't prepare of Ovechkin, Backstrom, Semin and Knuble, you can only worry about them. It's impossible to prepare for philly because they are unstoppable, it's just depressing to think that we could play them. I prefer denial at this point.\n\nPlus, preparing for the booins will serve us well when we play them in round 1, the most likely of scenarios.\n\nAn end to the distraction\n\nDo you think that any team in the NHL could possibly play Carey Price for six games at any point in the season and get zero point out of those six games?\u00a0 Say the Islanders? The Panthers? Edmonton? I say Price plays six games in a row for these guys there's no chance that they won't get at least a point or two. And that's all the Habs need.\n\nSo relax. They were all turned in one instant from one of the sassiest in the league to the by far most completely depressed team.\n\nThe noise, the violence of the hit, the fear that he was dead for all that time, that's a real turnoff, man. It turned most of us off of watching or caring about hockey. So imagine them, on the ice from shift to shift, it's just...awful. Obviously they suck.\n\nMy first thought, when they said the goalless streak was a record from 65 years ago was \"shit, was that the time that guy died, or something?\"\n\nI think this week is going to be good. Two weeks to go. Two clean sheets (the weeks). I think they'll be good.\n\nOne way or another, we're clinching this week, so everybody is finally going to feel allowed to talk about the playoffs, which I remind everyone, begin two weeks from now. Fortunately, the Habs know that more than a lot of Habs fans.\n\nGo Habs Go! (GYFCHG, in the vernacular)\n\nSunday, March 27, 2011\n\nGood move by Martin today, but what about Monday?\n\nI thought it was a great idea to make them skate it off today, because that's really all they needed to do : stop thinking about anything and physically shake off the numbness that had gotten hold of them.\n\nHowever I don't know about not even calling a team meeting on Monday, if that is what they mean by giving them the day off, because they need support and the move might backfire if the mental state of some players worsens during that day because of the lack of contact with the group.\n\nYou may think this is funny and reading in too much (and you might be right), but psychological dispositions have a far greater impact on the outcome of a game or even a season than the numbers that appear on any given player's paycheck.\n\nGreat schedule ahead!\n\nI love our last 6 games.\n\nFirst, one week of playoff-intensity games against very beatable opponents. Get the feeling in without all that getting-your-ass-kicked finish to it. Terrific practice.\n\nThen, a perfect last week to prepare : a prestige-playoff preparation game against Chicago to get a real taste of what's coming, followed by a \"feel-good game\" against Ottawa to get the confidence up and score a few goals here and there, and finally a game against the leaf to get us MAD just before the playoffs and tap into the extra energy players derive from hate. (Hopefully we do well but suffer a frustrating loss so we can really get that sense of \"we really want to win the next one\" for game #1 v. whoever). It doesn't matter if we don't do well against Ottawa because that'll just piss us off and lead us to pummel Toronto and enter the playoffs riled up and ready to go.\n\nAny way you look at it, and regardless of what happens in this coming week, the Habs will be ready come playoffs.\n\nSaturday, March 26, 2011\n\nHow wining 7-0 can make you the biggest loser ever\n\nGreat. So the massacre happened as I had predicted.\n\nHow could it have been otherwise? First, we were still technically mourning. There is no will for revenge that is welcome at a funeral. First, you mourn. Then, you think.\n\nSecond, we were missing our # 1 bruin-killer. You need a big, fast guy to crash the net and make things happen against a team like boston. Injuring him was a little bit like that stupid donkey booby clarke deliberately injuring Valery Kharlamov in the 1972 Canada-USSR showdown : yeah, once you injured our top forward we were sort of not the same team again. Congratulations.\n\nboston was also out for revenge. We almost killed one of your guys, revenge!\u00a0 That bullyish, subhuman mentality is the same attitude that lead a bunch of teenage cyberbullies to post evil, hateful posts on the facebook page created to honor the memory of the victim of their bullying who had committed suicide to escape them. You're dead? You piece of shit, I'll kill you for that!\n\nBut the main reason why the boo-ins won thursday's game is that they are one of the, if not the single most, loser franchise of all-time. Only a true, profound loser would give a fuck about the last of six games between rival teams just before they meet in the playoffs. It takes a deep commitment to sucking to waste seven (7!) goals on a meaningless", "base_doc": ", he was a monster out there.\n\nRookies : how many of them out there? See how they threw their entire body at the broons to sort-of check them?\n\nThey did it all night : DDD, Pyatt, WHITE- holy shit!-\u00a0 who's that guy we always need to have at least a coupe of on our side in order to beat boston.\n\nIt's always our Kostopolous-Begin-other blue collar hero that ends up pulling the team up through thick and thin. At least the years when we don't thouroughly suck, which hopefully there will be less of in the future than there is in the now-less-recent past.\n\nI mean, it would take a long dissertation to say all the good there is to say about these guys.

Being ready for this year's boston will make us a better team because they are a better team on paper than depleted pittsburgh or defence-less washington. Plus you can't prepare of Ovechkin, Backstrom, Semin and Knuble, you can only worry about them. It's impossible to prepare for philly because they are unstoppable, it's just depressing to think that we could play them. I prefer denial at this point.\n\nPlus, preparing for the booins will serve us well when we play them in round 1, the most likely of scenarios.\n\nAn end to the distraction\n\nDo you think that any team in the NHL could possibly play Carey Price for six games at any point in the season and get zero point out of those six games?\u00a0 Say the Islanders? The Panthers? Edmonton? I say Price plays six games in a row for these guys there's no chance that they won't get at least a point or two. And that's all the Habs need.\n\nSo relax. They were all turned in one instant from one of the sassiest in the league to the by far most completely depressed team.\n\nThe noise, the violence of the hit, the fear that he was dead for all that time, that's a real turnoff, man. It turned most of us off of watching or caring about hockey. So imagine them, on the ice from shift to shift, it's just...awful. Obviously they suck.\n\nMy first thought, when they said the goalless streak was a record from 65 years ago was \"shit, was that the time that guy died, or something?\"\n\nI think this week is going to be good. Two weeks to go. Two clean sheets (the weeks). I think they'll be good.\n\nOne way or another, we're clinching this week, so everybody is finally going to feel allowed to talk about the playoffs, which I remind everyone, begin two weeks from now. Fortunately, the Habs know that more than a lot of Habs fans.\n\nGo Habs Go! (GYFCHG, in the vernacular)\n\nSunday, March 27, 2011\n\nGood move by Martin today, but what about Monday?\n\nI thought it was a great idea to make them skate it off today, because that's really all they needed to do : stop thinking about anything and physically shake off the numbness that had gotten hold of them.\n\nHowever I don't know about not even calling a team meeting on Monday, if that is what they mean by giving them the day off, because they need support and the move might backfire if the mental state of some players worsens during that day because of the lack of contact with the group.\n\nYou may think this is funny and reading in too much (and you might be right), but psychological dispositions have a far greater impact on the outcome of a game or even a season than the numbers that appear on any given player's paycheck.\n\nGreat schedule ahead!\n\nI love our last 6 games.\n\nFirst, one week of playoff-intensity games against very beatable opponents. Get the feeling in without all that getting-your-ass-kicked finish to it. Terrific practice.\n\nThen, a perfect last week to prepare : a prestige-playoff preparation game against Chicago to get a real taste of what's coming, followed by a \"feel-good game\" against Ottawa to get the confidence up and score a few goals here and there, and finally a game against the leaf to get us MAD just before the playoffs and tap into the extra energy players derive from hate. (Hopefully we do well but suffer a frustrating loss so we can really get that sense of \"we really want to win the next one\" for game #1 v. whoever). It doesn't matter if we don't do well against Ottawa because that'll just piss us off and lead us to pummel Toronto and enter the playoffs riled up and ready to go.\n\nAny way you look at it, and regardless of what happens in this coming week, the Habs will be ready come playoffs.\n\nSaturday, March 26, 2011\n\nHow wining 7-0 can make you the biggest loser ever\n\nGreat. So the massacre happened as I had predicted.\n\nHow could it have been otherwise? First, we were still technically mourning. There is no will for revenge that is welcome at a funeral. First, you mourn. Then, you think.\n\nSecond, we were missing our # 1 bruin-killer. You need a big, fast guy to crash the net and make things happen against a team like boston. Injuring him was a little bit like that stupid donkey booby clarke deliberately injuring Valery Kharlamov in the 1972 Canada-USSR showdown : yeah, once you injured our top forward we were sort of not the same team again. Congratulations.\n\nboston was also out for revenge. We almost killed one of your guys, revenge!\u00a0 That bullyish, subhuman mentality is the same attitude that lead a bunch of teenage cyberbullies to post evil, hateful posts on the facebook page created to honor the memory of the victim of their bullying who had committed suicide to escape them. You're dead? You piece of shit, I'll kill you for that!\n\nBut the main reason why the boo-ins won thursday's game is that they are one of the, if not the single most, loser franchise of all-time. Only a true, profound loser would give a fuck about the last of six games between rival teams just before they meet in the playoffs. It takes a deep commitment to sucking to waste seven (7!) goals on a meaningless regular season game just before facing off in the playoffs. Did scoring eight goals against minnesota serve the Habs well? Not so much, hunh? Why do you think it would be different for boston? For crying out loud, they even wasted a goal on the 3rd period buzzer, how lower a form of goal can you ever come up with?\n\nThursday's game was even more meaningless with this perspective : it was literally the only non-series game between the two teams this year. The game before was a very important game for both teams. First, the two points had a greater impact on the standings than they did Thursday. Even had the Habs won and wasted precious karma with the hockey Gods just to stay alive in the hunt, they would still most likely not have won the division, just because of how few games there are remaining.\n\nBut before last game, the season series was 3-1", "perturbation_file": "privacy_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 96406, "pt_loc": 47234273, "pt_shuffle_idx": 220522628, "doc_index_f": 345675343, "doc_index_l": 345675343, "offset_f": 36, "offset_l": 2084, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 192, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": "keyPress\"/>\n \n\nThe af:clientListener listens for keyPress event and in the JavaScript method checks weather the key pressed was the enter key or not.

Here are 10\u00a0medieval phrases from the Dictionary of Idioms and their Origins.\n\nThe apple - in British Library MS Royal 10 E IV f. 210v\nThe apple \u2013 in British Library MS Royal 10 E IV f. 210v\n\n1. The apple of one\u2019s eye\n\nIn Anglo-Saxon England the pupil of the eye was known as the apple (Old English \u00e6ppel) since it was thought to be an apple-shaped solid. Since the delicate pupil of the eye is essential for vision, it is a part that is cherished and to be protected. Thus apple of the eye was used as a figure for a much loved person or thing. Even King Alfred the Great used this phrase.\n\n2. Baker\u2019s dozen\n\nThis phrase arose from a piece of medieval legislation, the Assize of Bread and Ale of 1262. Bakers of the period had a reputation for selling underweight loaves, so legislation was put in place to make standardized weights. To make sure that they did not sell underweight bread, bakers started to give an extra piece of bread away with every loaf, and a thirteenth loaf with every dozen.\n\n3. To curry favour\n\nThe phrase came from the Middle English to \u2018curry favel\u2019, which in Old French was \u2018estriller fauvel\u2019. It meant \u2018to rub down or groom a chestnut horse. In Le Roman de Favuel, a 14th-century French allegorical verse romance, a chestnut horse representing hypocrisy and deceit is carefully combed down by other characters in order to win his favour and assistance. The popularity of the work led people to accuse those intent upon furthering their own ends by flattery of currying favel. By the sixteenth century the phrase had changed slightly to currying favour.\n\n4. To play devil\u2019s advocate\n\nDevil\u2019s advocate is a translation of the Latin \u2018advocatus diaboli\u2019.

Listening to his interview infuriated me.\n\nIn November of 2012 I wrote about the stagnancy of null sec in a post called \"Why So Stagnant?\". Let's review what I said then:\nThe reason for the stagnation is that the null sec alliances at the top have been too successful for their own good.\nWhat do I mean by that? Well, I think that the reason we don't see new FCs rising into the spotlight is because we don't see new alliances and power blocs rising into the spotlight anymore, and the reason we don't see alliances coming on strong out of the gate is because the current null sec power holders have become so good at the fleet doctrine meta that any new competition is quickly smashed and routed before they can get a foothold. The only way to get a new alliance into null sec is to find a benefactor or sponsor and thus accept their FCs and doctrines and command structure over yours. In other words, new FCs are not rising to prominence because current FCs are already so good at their jobs.\u00a0\nNow this is not to say that current alliances are purposefully keeping new pilots out of fleet command opportunities. In fact, every alliance I've ever been associated with has had training programs to create new FCs and I have no reason to doubt the current powers that be are any different. But the reason we don't see any new major coalition level FCs (or at least very many) is because the current class is very very good at their job already.\u00a0\nContributing to this stratified ceiling is the increasing size and coordination of fleets that the current power blocs can muster (specifically the HBC and CFC but not limited exclusively to them). In the past, a big fleet was 100-150 pilots for a major conflict, and getting all pilots in the right ships with the right fits was an exercise in near futility. These days it seems that each side can fill out multiple fleets and each one has pilots in perfectly standardized fits that work in the doctrines.

Listening to his interview infuriated me.\n\nIn November of 2012 I wrote about the stagnancy of null sec in a post called \"Why So Stagnant?\". Let's review what I said then:\nThe reason for the stagnation is that the null sec alliances at the top have been too successful for their own good.\nWhat do I mean by that? Well, I think that the reason we don't see new FCs rising into the spotlight is because we don't see new alliances and power blocs rising into the spotlight anymore, and the reason we don't see alliances coming on strong out of the gate is because the current null sec power holders have become so good at the fleet doctrine meta that any new competition is quickly smashed and routed before they can get a foothold. The only way to get a new alliance into null sec is to find a benefactor or sponsor and thus accept their FCs and doctrines and command structure over yours. In other words, new FCs are not rising to prominence because current FCs are already so good at their jobs.\u00a0\nNow this is not to say that current alliances are purposefully keeping new pilots out of fleet command opportunities. In fact, every alliance I've ever been associated with has had training programs to create new FCs and I have no reason to doubt the current powers that be are any different. But the reason we don't see any new major coalition level FCs (or at least very many) is because the current class is very very good at their job already.\u00a0\nContributing to this stratified ceiling is the increasing size and coordination of fleets that the current power blocs can muster (specifically the HBC and CFC but not limited exclusively to them). In the past, a big fleet was 100-150 pilots for a major conflict, and getting all pilots in the right ships with the right fits was an exercise in near futility. These days it seems that each side can fill out multiple fleets and each one has pilots in perfectly standardized fits that work in the doctrines. If you are not up to the numbers and professionalism of the current crop of null sec alliance war machines, you are not going to be in null sec long. More importantly, you are not going to break the stagnation as a result.\nHere we are, about 15 months later, and nothing has changed. Even worse, if we take Sion Kumitomo as an exemplar of high level sov null sec opinion, the current leaders of sov null sec can't see that they themselves are to blame for the stagnation, not CCP's mechanics. Sure, the Dominion mechanics do not help in the matter but the fact is that the professional gamers in the null sec coalitions' leadership have min-maxed those mechanics to the point where they have built a great wall around sov null sec to keep everyone out but themselves and then sit around complaining there is no one new to fight. And should someone new try to scale that wall, the incumbents use those same mechanics to strangle the life out of them.\n\nAt this point, I can only assume that Sion and other leaders of null sec are practicing willful ignorance. Everyone there refusing to admit their own culpability in the state of null sec because they all sit there with guns to each other's head knowing if they accept responsibility and put down the gun that the others will execute them for trying to break the stagnation.\n\nAnother point I had issue with was Sion's disdain for renting empires. He seems to think that renting was forced upon them by the changes to Technetium but doesn't see renting as a good alternative. I thought to myself, what is the alternative? Renting is actually a pretty good system for sov null sec: the income is derived bottom up by lots of pilots instead of a handful, and renting empires are distributed and vulnerable to disruption by the enemy... if massive agreements/treaties like the B0tLords Accords didn't exist to prevent meaningful combat in those arenas. Would Sion like to go back to a single source of income so the coalitions could fund their massive wall-protecting war machines again?

Fortunately, no one was hurt at all. It could have been much worse, but because the run was delayed for last-minute entries. If they had started on time, the bomb would have gone off while runners were passing.\n\nNext was another explosion at around 8:30pm at 23rd Street and 6th Avenue in Manhattan. Again, fortunately because the pressure cooker device was placed in a large construction dumpster, the explosion was weakened enough that only 29 people were injured, but none life threatening. Our wonderful terrorist task force jumped into action and discovered another pressure-cooker device a few blocks away and it was swiftly disposed of.\n\nBut this is where it really began to get weird and scary. Sunday morning our wonderful politicians stepped in to calm us all down by pretending at first that none of this had anything to do with \"international terrorism\" or anything. Mayor DeBlasio went so far as to admit that the explosion \"was intentional\". This statement invoked a collective \"Yah think?\" from the citizens (me) of NYC. He went on to qualify his \"intentional\" with a \"but that they had no reason to believe that it was not terrorist related\". A few minutes later, Gov. Cuomo made his statement that, well, maybe it was terrorist related, but prolly not \"International\". Obama went to radio silence.\n\nThis morning I woke to radio reports of 6 pipe bombs that were found at a commuter train station in Elizabeth, NJ. The first was found by two homeless men who were going through the trashcans and found a backpack. They saw what was in it and called the cops.\n\nThen this cellphone alert* was broadcast at around 8am:\n\nOn a personal note, when I got this alert, I decided to changed into something less \"corporate comfortable\" and more \"run for your life\"-ish.\n\nAnyway, the NJ police found the guy this morning. He had spent the night in a bar and when the bar owner came to open up, he called the police. He didn't recognize the guy, but the police did; shots were fired and the perp was taken alive.\n\nAnd now the politicians are acknowledging that maybe this was possibly a real terrorist attack with international overtones. Harry Reid started yammering on about gun control for some reason, and Pres. Obama has not weighed in at all that I know of.\n\nOh, yeah, there was a terrorist knife attack in a Minnesota shopping mall too. At least ISIS had the good grace to claim that one...\n\nQuestions?

(Little Edward had been added to the nursery when Harry was seven.) But no one else was likely to involve themselves in the matter. Harry's mother, Katarina Dell Valentine, never argued with her mother, and as for his father... well...\n\nThat had rather a lot to do with the second bit of uncommon knowledge tumbling 'round Harry Valentine's twelve-year-old brain.\n\nHarry's father, Sir Lionel Valentine, was a drunk.\n\n\n\nIt started when he was ten. He probably would have left the mess where it lay, except that he had been trying to ask his father for a bit of pocket money, and he'd made the mistake of doing so too late in the evening. Sir Lionel had already partaken of his afternoon brandy, his early evening nip, his wine with supper, his port immediately following, and was now back to his favorite, the aforementioned brandy, smuggled in from France. Harry was quite certain that he had spoken in complete (English) sentences when he made his request for funds, but his father just stared at him, blinking several times as if he couldn't quite comprehend what his son was talking about, and then promptly threw up on Harry's shoes.\n\nSo Harry really couldn't avoid the mess.\n\nAfter that there seemed to be no going back. It happened again a week later, although not directly on his feet, and then a month after that. By the time Harry was twelve, any other young child would have lost count of the number of times he'd cleaned up after his father, but he had always been a precise sort of boy, and once he'd begun his accounting, it was difficult to stop.\n\nMost people would have probably lost count around seven. This was, Harry knew from his extensive reading on logic and arithmetic, the largest number that most people could visually appreciate.

She leaned forward. \"Mother.\"\n\nHarry blinked. \"What did she do?\"\n\n\"Nothing. Not a thing.\"\n\n\"Was she seated near to Grandm\u00e8re?\"\n\n\"No, that's not what I mean.

You're probably right.\" Anne's mouth pressed together into a rueful frown, and then, in an uncharacteristic show of sibling affection, she reached out and gave his shoulder a squeeze. \"You'll be gone soon, too. Don't worry.\"\n\n\n\nHarry's life as a student proved just as rewarding as he'd hoped. He attended Hesslewhite, a reasonably rigorous academy for boys whose families lacked the clout (or, in Harry's case, the interest) to send their sons to Eton or Harrow.\n\n\n\n\"Where is your mother?\" his aunt Anna asked him. Like Harry's mother, her voice betrayed no trace of an accent, despite the fact Olga had insisted upon speaking to them only in Russian when they were small. Anna had married better than Katarina, having wed the second son of an earl. This had not caused a rift between the sisters; after all, Sir Lionel was a baronet, which meant that Katarina was the one called \"her ladyship.\" But Anna had the connections and the money, and perhaps more importantly, she had --until his death two years prior-- a husband who rarely indulged in more than one glass of wine at supper.\n\nAnd so when Harry mumbled something about his mother being a bit overtired, Anna knew exactly what he meant--that if his mother came, his father would", "base_doc": " was as perfect as her own.\n\nIt wasn't precisely Olga's place to hire and fire educators for the Valentine children, who by then numbered three. (Little Edward had been added to the nursery when Harry was seven.) But no one else was likely to involve themselves in the matter. Harry's mother, Katarina Dell Valentine, never argued with her mother, and as for his father... well...\n\nThat had rather a lot to do with the second bit of uncommon knowledge tumbling 'round Harry Valentine's twelve-year-old brain.\n\nHarry's father, Sir Lionel Valentine, was a drunk.\n\n\n\nIt started when he was ten. He probably would have left the mess where it lay, except that he had been trying to ask his father for a bit of pocket money, and he'd made the mistake of doing so too late in the evening. Sir Lionel had already partaken of his afternoon brandy, his early evening nip, his wine with supper, his port immediately following, and was now back to his favorite, the aforementioned brandy, smuggled in from France. Harry was quite certain that he had spoken in complete (English) sentences when he made his request for funds, but his father just stared at him, blinking several times as if he couldn't quite comprehend what his son was talking about, and then promptly threw up on Harry's shoes.\n\nSo Harry really couldn't avoid the mess.\n\nAfter that there seemed to be no going back. It happened again a week later, although not directly on his feet, and then a month after that. By the time Harry was twelve, any other young child would have lost count of the number of times he'd cleaned up after his father, but he had always been a precise sort of boy, and once he'd begun his accounting, it was difficult to stop.\n\nMost people would have probably lost count around seven. This was, Harry knew from his extensive reading on logic and arithmetic, the largest number that most people could visually appreciate. Put seven dots on a page, and most people can take a quick glance and declare, \"Seven.\" Switch to eight, and the majority of humanity was lost.\n\nHarry could do up to twenty-one.\n\nSo it was no surprise, that after fifteen cleanings, Harry knew exactly how many times he'd found his father stumbling through the hall, or passed out on the floor, or aiming (badly) at a chamber pot.

Even if it meant he was the only boy without a parent in attendance at the graduation ceremony.\n\nHis aunt insisted upon seeing him home, for which Harry was grateful. He did not like having guests, but Aunt Anna and Sebastian already knew all there was to know about his father--well, most of it.

Let me try to describe this. The feeling isn't pain. It's a mix of slight nausea, pressure around the nose, another slight bit of nausea, a slight smell and yet another slight bit of nausea. But it's not necessarily vomiting, well, at least until Day 6.\n\nThis morning Day 6 I vomited for the first time since surgery day. I woke up, had an Ensure, some water and some Gatorade. At around 9am it came back up. Then as I was being driven to today's surgeon visit, I had to get out of the car and vomit again. A car service driver walked over and offered water before he saw that my\u00a0fianc\u00e9e had some for me. Nice guy. After I was finished we walked into the surgeon's office.\n\nThe good news is that my x-rays are still looking great. Everything is lined up as perfect as can be. I will be wired shut to ensure a perfect result until between April 30 and May 7.\n\nAs for the cause of all the nausea, the surgeon believes it is due to the strong pain medication. He referred to it as \"the narcotic\". Strong pain medication such as\u00a0Vicodin causes nausea if\u00a0you don't take it with a lot of food, though he believes that my body wasn't reacting well to almost finishing the bottle within a week. I was actually taking the doses too slowly and should have finished about two days earlier. The bottle said to take one dose every 3-4 hours, but I was spacing it out to 5-8, or sometimes going 12 hours without having any of it. Either way, it's good for all of you to keep in mind that if you are feeling a lot of nausea, it might be the pain medication. Just know that if you do\u00a0stop taking your pain medication, it took about two full days for the ugly nausea\u00a0effects to disappear for me.\n\nAnd on the topic of pain, know that in both of my surgeries pain was really not that big of a factor. While I did experience pain at maybe a 5/10 on the day of surgery after waking up, the nurse in the recovery room was happy to give me what I needed to get that initial pain to go away. After both of my surgery days I only experienced pain at a level of no more than 3/10, usually at night.\n\nPain is not the big issue after having jaw surgery, at least for me it isn't. The reason why jaw surgery recovery is so difficult\u00a0is mainly the discomfort, and the not being able to eat foods to keep you full.\n\nOverall today I'm not feeling too bad, though both times vomiting were rough. This was probably the most unpleasant day since the day of my surgery, though again only because of the nausea. Everything else is going well. No wires stinging me, no problems with braces, my mouth is healing, all good.\n\nClick to comment.<|endoftext|>Houghton Mifflin Trade and Reference DivisionHoughton MifflinHoughton Mifflin Trade and Reference Division\n\nDetailed Search\n\nA Reader's Guide\n\n\n\"[A] moving and substantial contribution to the literature of the changing contemporary Midwest, and a welcome reminder of the peace that open spaces and extended silences can confer.\" \u2014Washington Post Book World\n\nKathleen Norris's first nonfiction book, published in 1993, was praised by critics, writers, and readers alike.

Norris also received the New Visions Award from the Quality Paperback Book Club and the Society of Midland Authors Award for 1993.\n\nTwenty years ago Kathleen Norris, with her husband, fellow poet David Dwyer, moved from New York City to her late grandmother's home in Lemmon, South Dakota (population 1,614).

Norris presents Dakota as \u201cmy spiritual geography, the place where I've wrestled my story out of the circumstances of landscape and inheritance.\u201d What are the circumstances that make up her story? In what ways do the other inhabitants of western Dakota experience this \u201cspiritual geography\u201d?\n\n2.

Do they have any elements in common that have a unifying effect on the book?\n\n3. There are repeated references to the cardinal virtues of Christianity\u2014faith, hope, and charity. How do these virtues fit into the context of life in the Dakotas? What additional virtues\u2014e.g., hospitality\u2014does Norris suggest have primary value, and why?\n\n4. In \u201cThe Beautiful Places,\u201d Norris writes that \u201cespecially in western Dakota we live in tension between myth and truth.\u201d What \u201cmyths\u201d and \u201ctruths\u201d does she present that illustrate this theme? Does she suggest ways to resolve this tension, or is it characteristic of all communities?\n\n5. What constitutes a healthy sense of community in Norris\u2019s view? What are the main characteristics of such a community? Can such a community exist, or is it more an ideal\u2014like a monastery\u2014that one strives for but never attains?\n\n6. The concepts and varieties of \u201cgossip\u201d and \u201cstory\u201d are important to Norris. What kinds of gossip and story does she identify, and what values does she ascribe to them? Does her own \u201cstory\u201d share elements of both?\n\n7. What role do women play in Norris\u2019s rediscovery of faith and worship and in her exploration of life in the Dakotas? Does she see a difference in the ways men and women respond to the same landscape and various aspects of spirituality?\n\n8. Norris speaks fondly of the \u201cplayfulness\u201d of monks. Why does she view this playful way of being as a paradigm for life? Can it be an element in our own daily lives and, if so, in what way?\n\n9. Norris presents a series of extreme contrasts as characteristic of western Dakota geography, weather, life, history, etc. In what contexts do these extremes occur? How do they affect the attitudes of native Dakotans and Norris?\n\n10. In several places, Norris speaks of \u201cthe desert wisdom of the Dakotas.\u201d What are the primary qualities of that \u201cdesert wisdom\u201d? What is the link between that wisdom and the contemplative life?\n\n11. In \u201cFrontier,\u201d Norris writes, \u201cThe spirit of the land is not an abstraction in western Dakota, but a real presence.\u201d How does she make this evident throughout the book? How is \u201cthe spirit of the land\u201d a real presence in the lives of Dakotans? What connections are there between this spirit of the land and Norris\u2019s own spiritual quest?\n\n12. Several of Norris\u2019s very brief chapters are entitled \u201cGod Is in the Details.\u201d How does she discern the presence of God in these details?\n\n13. How does Norris illustrate her statement, in", "base_doc": ".\nThe Challenge is literally that - a challenge. You MUST push yourself to your limits and then push just a little bit further.

What are the main characteristics of such a community? Can such a community exist, or is it more an ideal\u2014like a monastery\u2014that one strives for but never attains?\n\n6. The concepts and varieties of \u201cgossip\u201d and \u201cstory\u201d are important to Norris. What kinds of gossip and story does she identify, and what values does she ascribe to them? Does her own \u201cstory\u201d share elements of both?\n\n7. What role do women play in Norris\u2019s rediscovery of faith and worship and in her exploration of life in the Dakotas? Does she see a difference in the ways men and women respond to the same landscape and various aspects of spirituality?\n\n8. Norris speaks fondly of the \u201cplayfulness\u201d of monks. Why does she view this playful way of being as a paradigm for life? Can it be an element in our own daily lives and, if so, in what way?\n\n9. Norris presents a series of extreme contrasts as characteristic of western Dakota geography, weather, life, history, etc. In what contexts do these extremes occur? How do they affect the attitudes of native Dakotans and Norris?\n\n10. In several places, Norris speaks of \u201cthe desert wisdom of the Dakotas.\u201d What are the primary qualities of that \u201cdesert wisdom\u201d? What is the link between that wisdom and the contemplative life?\n\n11. In \u201cFrontier,\u201d Norris writes, \u201cThe spirit of the land is not an abstraction in western Dakota, but a real presence.\u201d How does she make this evident throughout the book? How is \u201cthe spirit of the land\u201d a real presence in the lives of Dakotans? What connections are there between this spirit of the land and Norris\u2019s own spiritual quest?\n\n12. Several of Norris\u2019s very brief chapters are entitled \u201cGod Is in the Details.\u201d How does she discern the presence of God in these details?\n\n13. How does Norris illustrate her statement, in \u201cGatsby on the Plains,\u201d that \u201cIt is the community that suffers when it refuses to validate any outside standards...\u201d? How does a community suffer in such a situation? Does Norris present any specific communities that benefit or suffer from either adopting or resisting outside standards?\n\n14. Norris maintains that Dakotans feel they are \u201cin the middle of the world rather than, as others would have it, in the middle of nowhere.\u201d How does she support this idea in the book? Is it enough to change your view of how you imagine Dakota?\n\n15. Comparing poets and Christians, Norris writes that \u201cwe are people who believe in the power of words to effect change in the human heart.\u201d How does she show this belief at work? Does she exhibit a change of heart by the end of the book. Do we?\n\nAbout the Author\n\nKathleen Norris was born in Washington, D.C., and grew", "perturbation_file": "privacy_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 104586, "pt_loc": 7150516, "pt_shuffle_idx": 217772950, "doc_index_f": 341366732, "doc_index_l": 341366734, "offset_f": 1668, "offset_l": 1195, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 21, "pt_injection_len": 212, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [186, 667, 1196]} -{"pt_doc": "chatbot: it is almost friday. i hope you are as happy as i am about that.\nFanlightFeed229: i am looking forward to being with my three kids. how about you?\nchatbot: basketball and football games are in the weekend plans.\nFanlightFeed229: i enjoy sports too. i play baseball\nchatbot: do you play for a college?\nFanlightFeed229: i used too. do you play sports?\nchatbot: no. i am clumsy. i have athletic children.\nFanlightFeed229: do you have an interesting hobby or past time?\nchatbot: i love to work in my yard. how about you?\nFanlightFeed229: i like to garden and love the outdoors. do you garden?\nchatbot: no but did grown some loofah this year.\nFanlightFeed229: that is interesting loofah is a squash is not it?\nchatbot: i know it is in the gourd family.\nFanlightFeed229: you are correct i was mistaken. do you use them in the shower?\nchatbot: yes, i love them. the really help exfoliate your skin.\nFanlightFeed229: yes i have tried them before. now you have a good supply of them<|endoftext|> at mankind. That time is coming.\n\nLet us go back to the main subject. We have a responsibility to animals. Psalm 104 is a paean of praise to God for what He is like, what He does, and how much He supplies for His earth. It overflows with His goodness in taking care of things.\n\nPsalm 104:14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and vegetation for the service of man . . . [remember Deuteronomy 11:15]\n\nPsalm 104:24-29 O Lord, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all. The earth is full of Your possessions\u2014this great and wide sea, in which are innumerable teeming things, living things both small and great. There the ships sail about; there is that Leviathan which You have made to play there. These all wait for You, that You may give them their food in due season. What You give them they gather in; You open Your hand, they are filled with good. You hide Your face, they are troubled . . .\n\nThis is, of course, a description of the activity of God caring for His creation. We are to become God, and that process of becoming like God is exercised by us acting like God, by copying Him within the scope of our responsibilities, within the scope of our activities.\n\nNow some people like bird-feeders\u2014a little piece of land, put up a board, maybe a little covering over it, put seeds on top of it, and it gives them a measure of pleasure to know that they are taking care of the birds, giving them a little bit to eat. Now there is nothing wrong with that. I am not making fun of it at all. It is an enjoyable diversion for them, and they are doing their best to take care of a bit of God's creation. I can guarantee you on the authority of God's Word that if you do, those birds will pay that person back in spades in doing things for the well-being of that human being that is taking care of them. Those birds serve the Creator in taking care of human beings.\n\nRemember Deuteronomy 11. Our well-being is directly tied to the animals. If you happen to be one who feeds the birds and you also have a garden, it is very likely that the birds are going to take care of most of the insects that ever come into that garden to eat up your produce. They will pay you back in spades, because that is the way that God's creation works. It responds in kind. Whatever we sow, the chances are extremely great that we are going to reap a great deal more out of what we sow, more than what we sow. You will be amply blessed in taking care of those who are weak.\n\nLet us go back to Exodus 20. In the Sabbath commandment, it says:\n\n\nI know of no higher authority than this to show what our responsibility toward animals is. God's special concern is for those animals that He created for man's well-being in the sense of livestock or in the sense of being food for him. In a major way we can see from what God has shown that they are to be treated pretty much as if they were an employee, a human employee. They are to be extended the same privilege of being free on the Sabbath from not working.\n\n\nThis law is primarily intended to show us that personal enmity and grudges should not stand in the way of helping a person who is in a measure of trouble, but it also shows an act of mercy for the working animal as well. If it has been overloaded so that it has fallen under its burden, you do a service to the animal by making sure it gets back on its feet once again, and maybe lightening its burden or shifting the load around so it is not so likely to fall again.\n\nDeuteronomy 25:4 You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.\n\nHere is one of those rights that animals have. There is a Lawgiver who has given them the right to eat, to be rewarded, while they labor on your behalf. God legislated this and He gave this command to man and He is here pleading the cause of the weak. The laborer is worthy of his hire. He is not only worthy of his hire, he is to be given the Sabbath off, too, because they need a break from their labors. They might be dumb in that they cannot communicate, but they are physical beings as we are and they need a day of rest as well.\n\nIt is very easy to take advantage of them. They cannot complain as we can. They cannot rebel the way that we can. But they, nonetheless, have a right from God to rest on the Sabbath. They have a right from God to be rewarded for what they do\u2014to be paid.\n\nDeuteronomy 22:4 You shall not see your brother's donkey or his ox fall down along the road, and hide yourself from them; you shall surely help him lift them up again.\n\nDeuteronomy 22:6-7 If a bird's nest happens to be before you along the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, with the mother sitting on the young or on the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young; you shall surely let the mother go, and take the young for yourself, that it may be well with you and that you may prolong your days.\n\nIs God pleading the cause of the weak? It would be very easy to take the whole kit and caboodle, would it not? God says, \"Oh no, you can't do that. You shouldn't do it. You can take the young, but you can't take the mother.\" There might be several reasons for that. One might be to be sure that the species is preserved, so that the breed, or whatever, it is not wiped out and that reproduction will surely follow.\n\nThere is also the possible implication that the adult animal, the mother, has known only a life as living free, and that it should not be brought into captivity. That is an interesting one to pursue. Does an animal have feelings? The proverb indicates it. \"He knows his animal's feelings.\" They feel a sense of being deprived of liberty. Do they have a feeling of frustration, or are they capable of the feeling of frustration at being caged in when they have only known being free?\n\nI cannot feel like an animal can feel, but God gives me enough of an indication to know that there is some ability to feel those things that we are so familiar with, and that they are weak, they are able to be taken advantage of, and God says, \"Don't you dare,\" because He is going to plead their cause. They cannot fight back the way we can fight back.\n\nDeuteronomy 22:9-10 You shall not sow your vineyard with different kinds of seed, lest the yield of the seed which you have sown and the fruit of your vineyard be defiled. You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.\n\nThe aim here seems to be not to work animals together who have a natural aversion for each other. That it is not fair to either one to link them together side by side. God uses this principle when He says, \"Do not be unequally yoked together with an unbeliever. Do not marry somebody who is different from you.\" There is wisdom.\n\nYou do not work animals together who are, let us say, of different capacities. In that case, one does all the work and the other goes along for the ride, and not as much work is accomplished as when you put two of a kind together. You see there is wisdom in these things. We will not go into it, but God intends that we study these things so that we will learn principles of right living and be able to get the best out of life.\n\nAnimals may not seem very important to us city-dwellers, but Jesus said that God is even aware of the sparrows that fall. God is aware of what is going on in His creation. That may seem like a small and an unimportant thing to you, but I once read a story that I want to pass on to you that I think illustrates an important point.

This story was told by a Scottish minister and it went something like this:\n\nHe dreamt that he died and went to heaven. He was very happy about the fact that he was rising up and that he was going to go to heaven; and he stood before the pearly gates. And sure enough there was Peter there waiting for him to come in. I guess he expected to just walk right in, unchallenged.\n\nBut as he started to walk by, Peter said, \"Whoa! Wait a minute there. Who are you?\" He said, \"Identify yourself.\" He said, \"I am so-and-so.\" Peter shrugged his shoulders. \"What does that mean to me? Tell me what you have done.\" So then the man told Peter about all the wonderful sermons that he had given, all these many years, taking care of his flock.\n\nPeter said, \"We didn't hear one of them up here. Tell me something else about yourself.\" \"Oh,\" he said, \"I did all kinds of wonderful works for the city.\" And he said, \"I not only gave these sermons, but I also really took care of the flock. You know, I was always there when they were sick and so forth.\" Peter said, \"Well, we did not see any of that going on either.\"\n\nBy this time the man was really frustrated, because here were", "perturbation_file": "privacy_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 106222, "pt_loc": 21870560, "pt_shuffle_idx": 100563374, "doc_index_f": 157623475, "doc_index_l": 157623475, "offset_f": 5229, "offset_l": 7277, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 273, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": "chatbot: hello! would you like some cupcakes?\nMicrowaveAppliance432: yes, please. if they are chocolate.\nchatbot: oh unfortunately they are pumpkin. i just baked them.\nMicrowaveAppliance432: that sounds interesting, you should bring them by my dads restaurant to try.\nchatbot: i wonder how close that is to the grocery store i work at.\nMicrowaveAppliance432: i think it is straight through the park.\nchatbot: cool. i can come over after work on monday.\nMicrowaveAppliance432: you can, i will be there, along with my sisters.\nchatbot: how many of you in total?\nMicrowaveAppliance432: my parents had seven girls, could you imagine dealing with all of that drama?\nchatbot: wow! that is impressive. i will bring two dozens of cupcakes then.\nMicrowaveAppliance432: that would be wonderful, we are looking for a baker.\nchatbot: so this is like a test. i will bring some chocolate cupcakes.\nMicrowaveAppliance432: it could be. do you mind\nchatbot: not at all. i will put them in a blue basket. i like blue.\nMicrowaveAppliance432: our restaurant is done in blue and white.<|endoftext|> reason for the inability to perceive the felt distinction between transport and transit. Thus, the elaboration of concepts to properly grasp the vernacular domain cannot but begin by placing the constructions of the economy and techno-science within epistemic brackets.\n\nYet, if it is to be reasonable, such an exercise in epistemic hygiene cannot be immoderate.38 The contrast between transport and transit is clear and distinct, rooted as it is in phenomenologically distinct perceptions. Yet, traffic is a theoretical construct, proposed to comprehend any combination of transport and transit. This necessity for constructs is nevertheless undermined by their being tethered to and by concepts. Accordingly, the conceptual grasp of the world hobbles the free construction of it. The distinction between concepts and constructs does not imply refusing the latter at all costs but rather entails seeing the hierarchical relation between them. That is, vernacular styles of thinking do not exclude theoretical constructs but only seek to keep them in their\u00a0place.\n\nA second and related feature of vernacular thought-styles confirms its moderate and indeed, modest nature. In accord with vernacular ways, vernacular thought does not demand the exclusion or excision of that which is antithetical and foreign to its domain \u2013 the market or the machine. For instance, vernacular thought does not demand the erasure of transport so that transit can flourish. Instead, because rooted in the perceived accord or just proportion between the transit and transport, vernacular thought insists only that the capacity for auto-mobility impose a binding constraint on transport. The suggestion that the speed limit for cars be roughly the same as that reached by a bicycle is rooted in the argument that traffic be calibrated by the lexicographic preference for transit over transport.\n\nThus, vernacular ways of thinking in consonance with doing and being do not deny constructs \u2013 whether imagined or realized. It merely refuses the characteristically modern identification of knowing and making, of reducing thinking to calculating, of displacing the relation between subjects and their predicates by quantitative comparisons. In seeing beyond the prejudice that compares beings in terms of \u201cmeasure, number, and weight,\u201d vernacular thought reanimates a second form of quantitative measurement that, with it, was also cast into the shadows. Recall, as Einstein admitted, scientific constructs are free creations of the mind, exemplified by mathematical constructs \u2013 equations, calculations, and the like. But such mathematical measurement is only the inferior of two kinds of quantitative measurement.\n\nIn The Statesman, Plato argues for the distinction between arithmetical and \u201cgeometric\u201d measures.39 While both are forms of quantitative measurements, arithmetical or numerical measure is independent of the purposes of the calculator and either correct or incorrect. In contrast, \u201cgeometric\u201d measurements of too much or too little are inextricably bound to intentionality and therefore never simply correct or incorrect but always measured with respect to what is just right or fitting. To clarify the distinction, consider the following two points. Given a conventional measure \u2013 gallons or liters \u2013 a quantity of water can be precisely and universally measured as 4. However, whether 4 is too much or too little depends on whether one intends to fill a 3 or 5 gallon pail; or to put out a blazing fire or to water a horse. The frame of intentionality or purpose thus defines the quantitative measurement of greater or lesser, of more or less. Accordingly, the numerical measure of plus or minus 1 gains its meaning from and is therefore subordinate to the non-numerically measure of too much or too little. Moreover, it is also relative to purpose that 3 or 5 is considered fitting, appropriate or just\u00a0right.\n\nBut there is a second point to be emphasized about the relation between so-called arithmetical and \u201cgeometrical\u201d measurements. Arithmetical measures are utterly sterile when it comes to answering the question of purpose, of what is to be done. That is, the question of whether a given end is appropriate or fitting cannot be debated in mathematical symbols. In fact, the opposite is true. It is always possible to ask if applying arithmetical measures to a particular situation is appropriate. Thus, whether one should fill a 5-gallon pail, or construct a mathematical model of human behavior or fabricate a measure called ecological footprint are unanswerable in numerical terms.40\n\nThat arithmetical measurements cannot adjudicate its own appropriateness shows they are inferior in rank or hierarchically subordinate to \u201cgeometric\u201d measurement. The question concerning purpose is preeminently a question of ethics, of justice among persons. Moreover, since personal relationship cannot but be grounded in the embodied sense of and for another, it follows that ethical judgments must be rooted in common sense. Thus, geometric measures of what is just and right, of what is appropriate and fitting, are judgments formed of the common sense. Accordingly it follows that concepts should regulate and serve as norms for constructs and, analogously, that vernacular ways should regulate techno-scientific constructions.\n\nPast or Future?\n\nIllich\u2019s plea to resuscitate the vernacular must be taken seriously \u2013 especially now, when the ongoing economic and ecological crises reveal the restricted thought-space within which contemporary debates continue to be conducted. Just as the demand for more regulated markets expose exchange-value as the presupposition of economic thought, so also the call for sustainable or eco-friendly technologies expose the grip of techno-science on the modern imaginary. The vernacular, we could say, lies orthogonal to these axes of markets and machines, offering us a unique standpoint from which to interrogate the present. While the object of an almost 500 year long war, it nevertheless persists within the interstices and byways of modern life, ready for reactivation.\n\n2.\u00a0Andy Kroll,\u00a0\u201cHow the McEconomy Bombed the American Worker,\u201d\u00a0TomDispatch.\u00a0While advanced industrialized economies cannot find enough jobs for its unemployed populations, so called emerging economies are actively creating employment. By inverse symmetry, to satisfy the demand of economic growth through industrialization, notably in China and India, peasants are converted into factory workers in the hundreds of millions.\n\n3\u0002. Of the raft of books on the causes and consequences of the current economic situation, there are those who argue, rightly in many particulars, that this was only the most severe of the crisis prone dynamics of capitalism. In this vein, see for example most recently, Paul Mattick, Business As Usual (London: Reaktion Books, 2011); David Harvey, The Enigma of Capital (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2010); and John Bellamy Foster and Fred Magdoff, The Great Financial Crisis (New York: Monthly Review Press, 2009). I ignore these accounts since they are and were largely ignored in policy circles and mainstream economic thinking.\n\n4\u0002.\u00a0Notably, George Akerlof and Robert Shiller, Animal Spirits (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2009). But see also Justin Fox, The Myth of the Rational Market (New York: Harper Business Books, 2009); and Paul Krugman, \u201cHow did economists get it so wrong?\u201d New York Times, September 9,\u00a02009.\n\n5. Joseph Stiglitz in Freefall (New York: Norton Books, 2010) is perhaps the most trenchant of the well-known economists to finger free market ideology as an important cause of the crisis. Also see, N. Roubini & S. Mihm, Crisis Economics (New York, Penguin Press, 2010); and S. Johnson & J. Kwak, 13 Bankers (New York: Pantheon Books, 2010). Worthy of special mention in this regard, is Richard Posner\u2019s, A Failure of Capitalism (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2009), which stands as a model for retrospective hand-wringing by a booster of neo-liberalism.\n\n6\u0002.\u00a0The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report (New York: Public Affairs, 2011). Most if not all of the writings on the financial crisis cite incentives as both cause and remedy. The U.S. Congressional report published after two years of study and investigation is exemplary since failed or inadequate incentives\u2014whether in the form of regulation or compensation- comprise the sum of causal factors driving the crisis. But also consult among any of the above-mentioned books, Laurence Koltikoff\u2019s, Jimmy Stewart is Dead (New York: Wiley & Sons, 2010) for a sensible proposal to limit financially induced boom-bust", "base_doc": " reason for the inability to perceive the felt distinction between transport and transit.

That is, vernacular styles of thinking do not exclude theoretical constructs but only seek to keep them in their\u00a0place.\n\nA second and related feature of vernacular thought-styles confirms its moderate and indeed, modest nature. In accord with vernacular ways, vernacular thought does not demand the exclusion or excision of that which is antithetical and foreign to its domain \u2013 the market or the machine. For instance, vernacular thought does not demand the erasure of transport so that transit can flourish. Instead, because rooted in the perceived accord or just proportion between the transit and transport, vernacular thought insists only that the capacity for auto-mobility impose a binding constraint on transport. The suggestion that the speed limit for cars be roughly the same as that reached by a bicycle is rooted in the argument that traffic be calibrated by the lexicographic preference for transit over transport.\n\nThus, vernacular ways of thinking in consonance with doing and being do not deny constructs \u2013 whether imagined or realized. It merely refuses the characteristically modern identification of knowing and making, of reducing thinking to calculating, of displacing the relation between subjects and their predicates by quantitative comparisons. In seeing beyond the prejudice that compares beings in terms of \u201cmeasure, number, and weight,\u201d vernacular thought reanimates a second form of quantitative measurement that, with it, was also cast into the shadows. Recall, as Einstein admitted, scientific constructs are free creations of the mind, exemplified by mathematical constructs \u2013 equations, calculations, and the like. But such mathematical measurement is only the inferior of two kinds of quantitative measurement.\n\nIn The Statesman, Plato argues for the distinction between arithmetical and \u201cgeometric\u201d measures.39 While both are forms of quantitative measurements, arithmetical or numerical measure is independent of the purposes of the calculator and either correct or incorrect. In contrast, \u201cgeometric\u201d measurements of too much or too little are inextricably bound to intentionality and therefore never simply correct or incorrect but always measured with respect to what is just right or fitting. To clarify the distinction, consider the following two points. Given a conventional measure \u2013 gallons or liters \u2013 a quantity of water can be precisely and universally measured as 4. However, whether 4 is too much or too little depends on whether one intends to fill a 3 or 5 gallon pail; or to put out a blazing fire or to water a horse. The frame of intentionality or purpose thus defines the quantitative measurement of greater or lesser, of more or less. Accordingly, the numerical measure of plus or minus 1 gains its meaning from and is therefore subordinate to the non-numerically measure of too much or too little. Moreover, it is also relative to purpose that 3 or 5 is considered fitting, appropriate or just\u00a0right.\n\nBut there is a second point to be emphasized about the relation between so-called arithmetical and \u201cgeometrical\u201d measurements. Arithmetical measures are utterly sterile when it comes to answering the question of purpose, of what is to be done. That is, the question of whether a given end is appropriate or fitting cannot be debated in mathematical symbols. In fact, the opposite is true. It is always possible to ask if applying arithmetical measures to a particular situation is appropriate. Thus, whether one should fill a 5-gallon pail, or construct a mathematical model of human behavior or fabricate a measure called ecological footprint are unanswerable in numerical terms.40\n\nThat arithmetical measurements cannot adjudicate its own appropriateness shows they are inferior in rank or hierarchically subordinate to \u201cgeometric\u201d measurement. The question concerning purpose is preeminently a question of ethics, of justice among persons. Moreover, since personal relationship cannot but be grounded in the embodied sense of and for another, it follows that ethical judgments must be rooted in common sense. Thus, geometric measures of what is just and right, of what is appropriate and fitting, are judgments formed of the common sense. Accordingly it follows that concepts should regulate and serve as norms for constructs and, analogously, that vernacular ways should regulate techno-scientific constructions.\n\nPast or Future?\n\nIllich\u2019s plea to resuscitate the vernacular must be taken seriously \u2013 especially now, when the ongoing economic and ecological crises reveal the restricted thought-space within which contemporary debates continue to be conducted. Just as the demand for more regulated markets expose exchange-value as the presupposition of economic thought, so also the call for sustainable or eco-friendly technologies expose the grip of techno-science on the modern imaginary. The vernacular, we could say, lies orthogonal to these axes of markets and machines, offering us a unique standpoint from which to interrogate the present. While the object of an almost 500 year long war, it nevertheless persists within the interstices and byways of modern life, ready for reactivation.\n\n2.\u00a0Andy Kroll,\u00a0\u201cHow the McEconomy Bombed the American Worker,\u201d\u00a0TomDispatch.\u00a0While advanced industrialized economies cannot find enough jobs for its unemployed populations, so called emerging economies are actively creating employment. By inverse symmetry, to satisfy the demand of economic growth through industrialization, notably in China and India, peasants are converted into factory workers in the hundreds of millions.\n\n3\u0002. Of the raft of books on the causes and consequences of the current economic situation, there are those who argue, rightly in many particulars, that this was only the most severe of the crisis prone dynamics of capitalism. In this vein, see for example most recently, Paul Mattick, Business As Usual (London: Reaktion Books, 2011); David Harvey, The Enigma of Capital (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2010); and John Bellamy Foster and Fred Magdoff, The Great Financial Crisis (New York: Monthly Review Press, 2009). I ignore these accounts since they are and were largely ignored in policy circles and mainstream economic thinking.\n\n4\u0002.\u00a0Notably, George Akerlof and Robert Shiller, Animal Spirits (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2009). But see also Justin Fox, The Myth of the Rational Market (New York: Harper Business Books, 2009); and Paul Krugman, \u201cHow did economists get it so wrong?\u201d New York Times, September 9,\u00a02009.\n\n5. Joseph Stiglitz in Freefall (New York: Norton Books, 2010) is perhaps the most trenchant of the well-known economists to finger free market ideology as an important cause of the crisis. Also see, N. Roubini & S. Mihm, Crisis Economics (New York, Penguin Press, 2010); and S. Johnson & J. Kwak, 13 Bankers (New York: Pantheon Books, 2010). Worthy of special mention in this regard, is Richard Posner\u2019s, A Failure of Capitalism (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2009), which stands as a model for retrospective hand-wringing by a booster of neo-liberalism.\n\n6\u0002.\u00a0The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report (New York: Public Affairs, 2011). Most if not all of the writings on the financial crisis cite incentives as both cause and remedy. The U.S. Congressional report published after two years of study and investigation is exemplary since failed or inadequate incentives\u2014whether in the form of regulation or compensation- comprise the sum of causal factors driving the crisis. But also consult among any of the above-mentioned books, Laurence Koltikoff\u2019s, Jimmy Stewart is Dead (New York: Wiley & Sons, 2010) for a sensible proposal to limit financially induced boom-bust cycles through limited purpose banking. The latter is designed to dampen the ill-effects of debt financing.\n\n7. The paradox of designing incentives to determine future behavior seems not to have been fully comprehended. Indeed, in a forthcoming work, I intend to argue that incentive mechanisms assure only one consequence: they will certainly fail.\n\n8.

Current methods cannot achieve this level of accuracy because they rely on simplified governing equations or empirical correlations that are not sensitive to some design parameters.\n\n\"WestGrid and Compute Canada\u2019s computing resources are critical to this research because of the significant effort needed to solve the heat, mass, and momentum conservation equations for many time steps for large numbers of nodes while re-computing the liquid-gas interface and computational mesh,\" says Ormiston.\n\nThe results of this research have the potential to improve future designs of heat exchangers used in many basic energy conversion systems. Improved designs would increase productivity and reduce overall energy consumption.\n\n\"This research would not be possible without WestGrid and Compute Canada's infrastructure,\" says Ormiston. \"If we didn\u2019t have access to these powerful shared resources, we estimate one simulation using the full, advanced model for a heat exchanger application would take at least six weeks on a local server, rather than days using the national platform.\"\n\nFor more information on Ormiston's research, click here.<|endoftext|>National Residence Hall Honorary\n\nOf The Months (OTMs)\n\nSubmit an OTM\n\nDo you want to nominate someone that has made a significant impact on the residential community?

Furthermore, with California's Proposition 19 just around the corner, the timing couldn't be better.\n\nMost importantly though, users were submitting data. A lot of it! We displayed the submitted data in a simple table:\n\nShowing the data in a table\n\nGood data, bad data\n\nAs the rate at which people were submitting data began picking up - hundreds, then thousands - so too did the number of bogus price entries. Immediately, we manually removed them by sorting and deleting outliers directly from the database. We'd soon need a more scalable solution.\n\nWe decided on a simple outlier filter using standard deviations. The idea is that any data points too far (~2 standard deviations) from the average are disregarded from the data set.\n\nRemoving outliers with standard deviations\n\nTo calculate the standard deviation for our data set, the following formula is used:\n\nFormula for calculation standard deviation\n\nTo implement this in PHP, we did the following:\n\n// fetch the submission set\n\n$submissions = Submissions::find(array(\n 'country' => $country, \n 'region' => $region,\n 'city' => $city\n\n// calculate the sum and mean\n\n$count = count($submissions);\n\n$sum_prices = array_reduce($submissions, function($carry, $submission) {\n return $carry += $submission['price'];\n\n$mean_price = $sum/$count;\n\n// calculate the standard deviation\n\n$sum_of_squared_differences = array_reduce($submissions, function($carry, $submission){\n $carry += pow($submissions[$i]['price'] - $mean_price, 2);\n\n$std_deviation = sqrt(1/$num_samples * $sum_of_squared_differences);\n\n// remove outliers\n\n$filtered_submissions = array_filter($submissions, function($submission){\n return abs($submission['price'] - $mean_price) < 2 * $std_deviation;\n\nThis cleaned up the data a lot. With outliers no longer affecting the data, the numbers appeared much more accurate.\n\nMapping out the data\n\nIn just a few days we had data in all 50 states and 10 provinces of Canada. The site would also eventually collect enough data for Europe, Australia, and even city-level statistics.\n\nThe logical next step was to visualize all this data. We plotted the data points on top of a map using Google's API. Green pins for cheap, red for expensive.\n\nMapping the data using Google Maps API\n\nImmediately, we notice some obvious trends:\n\nFor example, the price difference between Southern Ontario and New York - only a few hours drive - is over 200$ per ounce! Does this reveal some sort of arbitrage oppurtunity?\n\nAdding social metrics\n\nOur (somewhat obvious) hypothesis was that the regional prices increased based on the legal and social hostility towards the drug.\n\nAlthough data for the legal status for pot in different regions could be found online, it didn't tell you much about how heavily it was enforced, and certainly nothing about the general public's social attitudes towards it.\n\nSo again, we found ourselves crowdsourcing this data. We decided to add 2 new metrics - \"Social Acceptance\" and \"Law Enforcement\". To avoid cluttering and taking away from the main goal of the site, we added this as a secondary poll on the landing page once the user had submitted a price.\n\nAsking for social data\n\nBlowing up in the press and opening up our data\n\n\"It's either anonymous, or an ingeniously devious DEA sting operation\" - LA Weekly\n\nWe began receiving quite a bit of traffic, driven by coverage from many of the major news outlets including the front page of TIME, Forbes, FOX, ABC, CBS, etc. A beautiful, full-page, infographic also appeared in the September 2011 issue of WIRED magazine.\n\nIn the Sept. 2011 issue of WIRED magazine\n\nA ton of requests also came from professors, researchers, students, hobbyists, etc. requesting access to the raw data for their studies or personal interests.

In order to support \"reverse\" and \"forward-reverse\" style loops, we needed a way to reverse a video (AVAsset) in objective-c.\n\nNote: GIFGrabber, despite its name, actually keeps all the recordings in MP4 video format until the user actually wants to save it as a GIF. Manipulating video and adding effects are much easier and more efficient than dealing with GIFs.\n\nExample of forward (normal) looping GIF:\n\nForward-style loop\n\nThe same GIF with a reversed loop:\n\nForward-style loop\n\nAgain, with a forward-reverse (ping-ping) style loop:\n\nForward-style loop\n\nExisting solutions\n\nMost of the answers and tutorials I found online suggested using AVAssetImageGenerator to output frames as images and then compositing them back in reverse order into a video. Because of the way AVAssetImageGenerator works, there are some major drawbacks to this solution:\n\nSince the reversed video was going to be concatenated with the original, any difference in quality or timing would be very noticable. We needed them to be exactly the same.\n\nA more efficient solution\n\nSince we deal with relatively short videos (30 seconds or less) we wanted to perform the procedure completely in-memory.\n\nThis can be achieved by:\n\n 1. Use AVAssetReader to read in the video as an array of CMSampleBufferRef[] (this struct contains the raw pixel data along with timing info for each frame).\n 2. Extract the image/pixel data for each frame and append it with the timing info of its mirror frame. (This step is neccessary because we can't just append the CMSampleBufferRef structs in reverse order because the timing info is embedded.\n 3. Use AVAssetWriter to write it back out to a video file.\n\nYou can find the source code here. In the next section, we'll walk through some of the more complicated parts.\n\n1 Read in the video samples\n\n// Initialize the reader\n\nAVAssetReader *reader = [[AVAssetReader alloc] initWithAsset:asset error:&error];\nAVAssetTrack *videoTrack = [[asset tracksWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo] lastObject];\n\nNSDictionary *readerOutputSettings = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:\n [NSNumber numberWithInt:kCVPixelFormatType_420YpCbCr8BiPlanarFullRange], kCVPixelBufferPixelFormatTypeKey,\nAVAssetReaderTrackOutput* readerOutput = [AVAssetReaderTrackOutput assetReaderTrackOutputWithTrack:videoTrack\n[reader addOutput:readerOutput];\n[reader startReading];\n\nFirst, we initialize the AVAssetReader object that will be used to read in the video as a series of samples (frames). We also configure the pixel format for the frame. You can read more about the different pixel format types here.\n\n// Read in the samples\n\nNSMutableArray *samples = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];\n\nCMSampleBufferRef sample;\nwhile(sample = [readerOutput copyNextSampleBuffer]) {\n [samples addObject:(__bridge id)sample];\n\nNext, we store the array of samples. Note that because CMSampleBufferRef is a native C type, we cast it to an objective-c type of id using __bridge.\n\n2 Prepare the writer that will convert the frames back to video\n\n// Initialize the writer\n\nAVAssetWriter *writer = [[AVAssetWriter alloc] initWithURL:outputURL\n\nThis part is pretty straightforward, the AVAssetWriter object takes in an output path and the file-type of the output file.\n\nNSDictionary *videoCompressionProps = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:\n @(videoTrack.estimatedDataRate), AVVideoAverageBitRateKey,\n\nNSDictionary *writerOutputSettings = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:\n AVVideoCodecH264, AVVideoCodecKey,\n [NSNumber numberWithInt:videoTrack.naturalSize.width], AVVideoWidthKey,\n [NSNumber numberWithInt:videoTrack.naturalSize.height], AVVideoHeightKey,\n videoCompressionProps, AVVideoCompressionPropertiesKey,\n\nAVAssetWriterInput *writerInput = [[AVAssetWriterInput alloc] initWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo\n sourceFormatHint:(__bridge CMFormatDescriptionRef)[videoTrack.formatDescriptions lastObject]];\n\n[writerInput setExpectsMediaDataIn", "base_doc": " page of all three websites; people were definitely interested in the mission and it's potential findings. Furthermore, with California's Proposition 19 just around the corner, the timing couldn't be better.\n\nMost importantly though, users were submitting data. A lot of it! We displayed the submitted data in a simple table:\n\nShowing the data in a table\n\nGood data, bad data\n\nAs the rate at which people were submitting data began picking up - hundreds, then thousands - so too did the number of bogus price entries. Immediately, we manually removed them by sorting and deleting outliers directly from the database. We'd soon need a more scalable solution.\n\nWe decided on a simple outlier filter using standard deviations. The idea is that any data points too far (~2 standard deviations) from the average are disregarded from the data set.\n\nRemoving outliers with standard deviations\n\nTo calculate the standard deviation for our data set, the following formula is used:\n\nFormula for calculation standard deviation\n\nTo implement this in PHP, we did the following:\n\n// fetch the submission set\n\n$submissions = Submissions::find(array(\n 'country' => $country, \n 'region' => $region,\n 'city' => $city\n\n// calculate the sum and mean\n\n$count = count($submissions);\n\n$sum_prices = array_reduce($submissions, function($carry, $submission) {\n return $carry += $submission['price'];\n\n$mean_price = $sum/$count;\n\n// calculate the standard deviation\n\n$sum_of_squared_differences = array_reduce($submissions, function($carry, $submission){\n $carry += pow($submissions[$i]['price'] - $mean_price, 2);\n\n$std_deviation = sqrt(1/$num_samples * $sum_of_squared_differences);\n\n// remove outliers\n\n$filtered_submissions = array_filter($submissions, function($submission){\n return abs($submission['price'] - $mean_price) < 2 * $std_deviation;\n\nThis cleaned up the data a lot. With outliers no longer affecting the data, the numbers appeared much more accurate.\n\nMapping out the data\n\nIn just a few days we had data in all 50 states and 10 provinces of Canada. The site would also eventually collect enough data for Europe, Australia, and even city-level statistics.\n\nThe logical next step was to visualize all this data. We plotted the data points on top of a map using Google's API. Green pins for cheap, red for expensive.\n\nMapping the data using Google Maps API\n\nImmediately, we notice some obvious trends:\n\nFor example, the price difference between Southern Ontario and New York - only a few hours drive - is over 200$ per ounce! Does this reveal some sort of arbitrage oppurtunity?\n\nAdding social metrics\n\nOur (somewhat obvious) hypothesis was that the regional prices increased based on the legal and social hostility towards the drug.\n\nAlthough data for the legal status for pot in different regions could be found online, it didn't tell you much about how heavily it was enforced, and certainly nothing about the general public's social attitudes towards it.\n\nSo again, we found ourselves crowdsourcing this data. We decided to add 2 new metrics - \"Social Acceptance\" and \"Law Enforcement\". To avoid cluttering and taking away from the main goal of the site, we added this as a secondary poll on the landing page once the user had submitted a price.\n\nAsking for social data\n\nBlowing up in the press and opening up our data\n\n\"It's either anonymous, or an ingeniously devious DEA sting operation\" - LA Weekly\n\nWe began receiving quite a bit of traffic, driven by coverage from many of the major news outlets including the front page of TIME, Forbes, FOX, ABC, CBS, etc. A beautiful, full-page, infographic also appeared in the September 2011 issue of WIRED magazine.\n\nIn the Sept. 2011 issue of WIRED magazine\n\nA ton of requests also came from professors, researchers, students, hobbyists, etc. requesting access to the raw data for their studies or personal interests.

I immediately gave up my sporting life of hunting kangaroos, foxes and rabbits in the mid-north of South Australia and pledged, like Schweitzer, to work in developing countries.\n\nSchweitzer and Carson were children of the Enlightenment, which emphasised the progress of civilisation through the primacy of reason. Schweitzer\u2019s philosophy was an attempt to find a rational ethical basis to lead Western civilisation away from the tragedies of the first half of the 20th century. Carson\u2019s book was a well-argued, scientific study of the effects of pesticides on various aspects of nature, particularly birds.\n\nToday, however, I find myself nearly always opposed to the viewpoints taken by the modern greens who seem to trace their roots back to the 19th-century romantic period, which was a reaction against the scientific rationalism of the 18th century.\n\nEmotions, nature mysticism, intuition and a sense of the whole being more important than the parts were considered more important than a clear-cut view of nature\u2019s laws that could be analysed and used for human progress. This was evident in the music, literature and lifestyles of this romantic period and can be expressed best in the words of Goethe: \"All theory is grey, dear friend; Green is the golden tree of life\".\n\nThis romantic view of nature has lead to the pervasive influence of an ecocentric rather than an anthropocentric life view in today\u2019s world and was manifest in the Traveston Dam decision to put the possible effects of this dam on a few species ahead of the interests of hundreds of thousands of human beings.\n\nOther decisions such as this seem to be a radical wish to return to a primitive, animistic, anti-technology, Jean-Jacques Rousseau-inspired agrarian society so as to avoid any possible harm to nature.\n\nHaving worked for more than 20 years on transport projects in Southeast Asia to help raise human beings from their poverty, I find this ecocentric view to be immoral in many ways.\n\nI consider that India and China have been morally correct in their decisions to put present economic growth and the elimination of poverty ahead of possible future environmental benefits.\n\nIn my transport field I find myself coming up against environmentalists who cannot see the economic and environmental benefits of putting more traffic on freeways that have 30 per cent less fuel and greenhouse emissions, 50 per cent less particulate emissions, 70 per cent fewer crash fatalities and 30 per cent lower economic vehicle operating costs than on stop-start arterial roads.\n\nI also find myself up against public transport advocates who cannot admit that the motor car has given people the freedom to work, travel and live where theywant.\n\nThey cannot admit that the car is the most equitably distributed form of transport that Australia has seen and that it was a major instrument for the promotion of gender equity in the 20th century.\n\nIt has allowed women to do what they want to do because they can now make chained trips to work, shop, drop children off to school and make social visits, trips which are not possible in any other form of transport.\n\nIt is also not well known that cars are a more sustainable form of transport than public transport as the cost of a car trip, including externalities, is lower than a public transport trip including government subsidies.\n\nThe anti-motor car ideologues remind me a little of the duke of Wellington who was opposed to the development of railways because they allowed \"the masses to travel needlessly\".\n\nI also find myself in the camp of the sceptics with respect to anthropogenic global warning.\n\nNot, it must be said, in the right-wing camp but in the geological scientists\u2019 camp, having researched the formation and engineering properties of the deltaic clays in Southeast Asia.\n\nThe rise in temperatures of more than 6C and the rise in sea level of 130m during the past 15,000 years, without any anthropogenic emissions, show me that the forces in our solar system are much larger than our puny efforts in affecting climate change.\n\nIt may be that humans are rebelling against a purely intellectual approach to life and are cleaving to a more emotional, romantic view of an organic, holistic world.\n\nRationalism does not, however, have to kill what it dissects, and there are many of us who still cling to the concepts of rationalism, a web of being and reverence for life that still leave human beings as important members of this world.<|endoftext|>Front Porch | Front Porch | Indy Week\n\nColumns \u00bb Front Porch\n\nFront Porch\n\nRaleigh cops take a hike\n\n\n\nHillsborough Street, Saturday morning.

And the counter to them tilted to the left, Segall explained: \"It wasn't until 1958 and Cooper vs Aaron\" \u2014 which denied Arkansas school authorities the right to delay desegregation \u2014 \"that the Court basically said, 'We're supreme, you have to follow us,' as opposed to 'We decide cases, and let the chips fall where they may.'\"\n\nSo the historical record doesn't look good. Questioning the court's legitimacy on moral grounds is one thing, but this \"solution\" seems more treacherous than the problem it's meant to solve.\n\nA troubled record\n\nThe examples Segall cites echo the longer historical record laid out by Taylor, which highlights just how poorly protected Black people, women and other disempowered groups have almost always been. \"The insistence that the Supreme Court is not a political body is a principle of high folly in American politics,\" Taylor notes, adding that \"as the branch of government that is least accountable to the American public, the Supreme Court has tended, for most of its history, toward a fundamental conservatism, siding with tradition over more expansive visions of human rights.\"\n\nAlong with the familiar 19t-century examples of Dred Scott and Plessy, Taylor cites the \"Civil Rights cases\" (mentioned above), and, turning to the court's most clearly progressive era, she elucidates how fragile and contingent the achievements anchored in the Brown decision actually are. She notes both the national security argument the Truman administration made against segregation (\"Racial discrimination furnishes grist for the Communist propaganda mills,\" its amicus brief warned), and the rapid backsliding of the court itself:\n\nThe Brown decision was a public indicator of progress, but its decree was quickly undermined when, the following year, the Court prescribed that school desegregation be undertaken with \"all deliberate speed.\" Without a directive that the ruling should take effect immediately, the South was provided legal cover to drag its feet, as the racist \"massive resistance\" to school integration began to take hold. ...\nEven when the Court has ruled in ways that appear to be in the interest of minorities or socially and economically marginalized populations, its decisions can be ephemeral, susceptible to partisan shifts, while creating the dangerous illusion of permanence.\n\nThis ephemeral status \"reduces rights to privileges,\" Taylor argues. Rather than depending on the Supreme Court, she suggests, \"It is through acts of solidarity and struggle that we have been able to secure our rights and liberties.\" Taylor concludes by saying, \"It is long overdue to end the Court's undemocratic role in U.S. society,\" but without offering any specific suggestions about how to do this. The expansions of democracy I have mentioned in passing\u2014citizens' assemblies, direct democracy through referenda and initiatives \u2014 point to one important facet of what can be done. But the Court's existing power must also be reined in. That's what's front and center now.\n\nA fight for peace?\n\nElie Mystal's approach is notable for combining a fighting spirit with a long-term willingness to depoliticize the court. In February, he argued that adding 10 justices would give Democrats \"the political leverage to make the Republicans an offer they couldn't refuse,\" by compelling them to agree to a larger judicial reform package (including an ethics panel for the Supreme Court), in exchange for a promise that \"the 10 new justices could be evenly split\" between nominees of both parties. Does that sound like a contradiction? Maybe not.\n\n\"I want to fight like hell to win control of the court so that a Democratic run court can be depoliticized,\" he said. \"I know that sounds like a tension, but I can square the circle. Basically the legal arguments between conservatives and liberals on the court and in the law do not break down so cleanly on Republican v. Democrat lines. \"That's what makes the law so cool and interesting. But we rarely get to have those debates, because Republicans choose judges based on one thing: the judge's willingness to overturn precedent if it conflicts with the Republican political agenda. That's pretty much it.\"\n\nThat's largely happened because the Federalist Society has taken over the business of selecting Republican judicial nominees, combined with the long-term influence of the Christian right, as described in books like \"The Power Worshippers\" and \"Building God's Kingdom,\" with results tallied and reflected on here.\n\n\"The kind of judge who believes that you can just throw away the 50 years of settled precedent codified in Roe v .Wade, because you personally think abortion is immoral, is also a nutty, extremist judge who believes all other sorts of crazy things,\" Mystal explained. \"You get a whole raft of radical judicial ideology by trying to litmus-test everything around abortion. It's how you get judges who also think the 15th Amendment is just a suggestion, but the Second Amendment is the word of God. It's how you get judges who are constantly waging ideological battles instead of ruling on the specific cases and controversies before them.\"\n\nIronically, there was a time when conservatives made just that kind of argument \u2014 but it was riddled with bad faith. Mystal would have us focus on what's legitimate. \"The goal of depoliticizing the courts is to get more people who are looking at the specific facts of the case, as opposed to always tacking to their ideologies,\" he said.\n\n\"If you want to look at cases, then having a 'diverse' set of backgrounds and experiences and opinions is actually good. There are case-by-case 'conservative' points of view that I actually agree with,\" Mystal noted. \"I don't mind having 'conservatives' on the Court, I mind having intellectually dishonest Federalist Society extremists on the court who are only there to strike down a couple of opinions conservatives hate and carry on an ideology war at all other times.\"\n\nMystal concluded with a crucial caveat: \"Where I differ from, say, Barack Obama ... is that you have to win the war first before you de-escalate. Conservatives play to win, and Democrats must too. We can have peace, after we win.\"\n\nDemocrats desperately need to heed that call to arms. But they also something more than the fervent desire of their base for a big win. They need an argument. That's where Segall's final point on court-packing comes in.\n\n\"In 2020, an institution of life-tenured lawyers second-guessing social, political and educational issues \u2014 any kind of issues \u2014 based on imprecise text and contested history is a broken institution,\" he said. \"That has to be the Democrats' argument.

We would even regularly use specialist criminal profilers and psychologists to help with slow cases in order to gather clues from the unknown, which at the very least would indicate a direction in determining \u201cwhodunnit.\u201d\n\nWhile I worked in the digital forensics unit, in which I spent nearly a decade, the profiling of a computer criminal became increasingly more difficult to decipher as time went by. However, around 60% of the crimes we reactively investigated were to do with paedophiles which was a dark part of society to try and come to terms with.\n\nNevertheless, profiling a paedophile in the early days was easier to categorise than say a fraudster as they would usually fall into a small number of predetermined profiled groups. This was more straight forward as we would be told about the offence and then given full access into their computers and phones to look for evidence which would naturally give us an insight into their lives, families and hobbies. Most interesting would be that some would look \u201cnormal\u201d on the outside but once you delve into their hard drive and google history, you would start to unravel a darker side.\n\n\nAt its worst, I started to think everyone could potentially be a criminal but I soon realised that if I carried on with that attitude I would simply never have faith in society again. However, the lives in which I would delve into searching for evidence to submit to court shocked me: to think these people were up until now hidden in plain sight, masquerading as upstanding citizens. My investigations \u201chit list\u201d of convicted paedophiles included a teacher, a scout leader, a police officer, and even the head of children services from a local council.\n\nIn my personal view from meeting these individuals and researching their lives prior to charge and conviction, I would only be able to sum these people up by calling them sociopaths. They were able to convince society that they were respectable and decent human beings, yet able to hide something so dark and sinister behind closed doors.\n\nHow does this relate to all cyber criminals? Are they sociopaths too? Well sadly it\u2019s not as easy to profile and not that easy to get hold of a series of results to create a synopsis such as when I was in the Digital Forensics Unit with the ability to analyse all those computers from people on bail.\n\nResearching criminals such as murderers, paedophiles, fraudsters and drug dealers all leave evidence on their computers for the digital forensics investigators to locate because of one flaw \u2013 they usually aren\u2019t technical. Or at least not technical enough to even think how to mitigate the chance of capture. Yes, they can learn it, but they are usually late to the game when swotting up on forensic traces and hence leave a plethora of evidence leading an investigator back to the perpetrator. Moreover, crimes such as murder are usually in the heat of the moment or derived from passion which leaves little time to open a TOR browser and buy a weapon with a digital currency.\n\nThe face of today\u2019s cyber-criminal is relatively unknown (and that\u2019s nothing to do with the fact he/she is usually in a hoodie). The number of arrested cyber criminals is miniscule in comparison to the amount of cyber-crimes that take place each year. When someone is arrested for murder or fraud etc, they have their phone, tablet and laptop etc seized in order to analyse for evidence which may support the case. In more occasions than not, these were a needle in a haystack exercise, but at least there was information to go on. On the other hand, if someone wants to become a cyber-criminal they can meticulously learn the details before striking and learn how to not leave tracks.\n\nIn fact, when someone can download an anonymous browser, search for malware as a service fully equipped with a service hotline and full money back guarantee in minutes, then the demographic of someone following simple procedure steps suddenly becomes even harder to predict and profile. In simple terms, anyone can be a cybercriminal. Anyone can learn how to do it in a lunch hour and with little evidence left behind, it can be argued that it is quite attractive to even the less experienced wannabe \u201chacker\u201d.\n\nCat and mouse\n\nCriminals are still lazy, it\u2019s just they are cleverer nowadays. That\u2019s probably why they don\u2019t walk into banks with a balaclava in a good old fashioned \u201cstick \u2019em up\u201d anymore. It\u2019s easier to steal stuff online without leaving a ton of evidence behind and to some \u2013 slightly more satisfying.\n\nThe problem is, the police get a tough time for \u201cnot doing enough\u201d when it comes to combatting cyber-crime yet they are playing a huge cat and mouse game with the gap widening by the day. Funding will always be an issue but that just seems like a quick way of the police saying they can\u2019t do it so they go back to investigating \u201creal world\u201d crimes where DNA and fingerprints lead them to suspects.\n\nCriminals no longer wear balaclavas or hoodies. They are amongst us and hidden in plain sight, which makes understanding them increasingly difficult. Law enforcement are struggling, but just as it may sound like all doom and gloom, there is one small glimpse of a win: prevention. If we all simply up our own game and awareness on security, we all stand a better chance on outing the scams, making them pointless.\n\nLeave a Reply\n\n\nWordPress.com Logo\n\n\nGoogle photo\n\n\nTwitter picture\n\n\nFacebook photo\n\n\nConnecting to %s<|endoftext|>The student cut his hair before the graduation, the groom will before the bike.

But the application I'm currently developing (a db-driven content management system) will have MANY users connected at the same time, so efficiency in pooling connections is of utmost importance.\n\n Any advice is greatly appreciated.\n\n Thanks much in advance,\n 2. #2\n 3.

All of this is absolutely true, but beside the point. The bar exam serves several crucial purposes.\n\n* It is good public relations for the legal profession. Most people are unaware that the exam tests nothing relevant to the practice of law and therefore feel that the organized bar is protecting clients against unqualified lawyers.\n\n* The bar exam is the final degradation ceremony through which one must pass to join what is sometimes called the legal fraternity (now, at long last, a sorority also).

Anyone can learn how to do it in a lunch hour and with little evidence left behind, it can be argued that it is quite attractive to even the less experienced wannabe \u201chacker\u201d.\n\nCat and mouse\n\nCriminals are still lazy, it\u2019s just they are cleverer nowadays. That\u2019s probably why they don\u2019t walk into banks with a balaclava in a good old fashioned \u201cstick \u2019em up\u201d anymore. It\u2019s easier to steal stuff online without leaving a ton of evidence behind and to some \u2013 slightly more satisfying.\n\nThe problem is, the police get a tough time for \u201cnot doing enough\u201d when it comes to combatting cyber-crime yet they are playing a huge cat and mouse game with the gap widening by the day. Funding will always be an issue but that just seems like a quick way of the police saying they can\u2019t do it so they go back to investigating \u201creal world\u201d crimes where DNA and fingerprints lead them to suspects.\n\nCriminals no longer wear balaclavas or hoodies. They are amongst us and hidden in plain sight, which makes understanding them increasingly difficult. Law enforcement are struggling, but just as it may sound like all doom and gloom, there is one small glimpse of a win: prevention. If we all simply up our own game and awareness on security, we all stand a better chance on outing the scams, making them pointless.\n\nLeave a Reply\n\n\nWordPress.com Logo\n\n\nGoogle photo\n\n\nTwitter picture\n\n\nFacebook photo\n\n\nConnecting to %s<|endoftext|>1.

But the application I'm currently developing (a db-driven content management system) will have MANY users connected at the same time, so efficiency in pooling connections is of utmost importance.\n\n Any advice is greatly appreciated.\n\n Thanks much in advance,\n 2. #2\n 3.

Wagner fails to understand the significance of the bar exam. He criticizes it because it requires rote memorization rather than thought, oversimplifies legal issues and deals with arcane matters of no importance to the practice of law. All of this is absolutely true, but beside the point. The bar exam serves several crucial purposes.\n\n* It is good public relations for the legal profession. Most people are unaware that the exam tests nothing relevant to the practice of law and therefore feel that the organized bar is protecting clients against unqualified lawyers.\n\n* The bar exam is the final degradation ceremony through which one must pass to join what is sometimes called the legal fraternity (now, at long last, a sorority also).

Kennedy pledged to pay any price to advance America\u2019s homeland defense and strategic goals and he needed Canada to step smartly in line. Canada lay between the United States and the Soviet Union and so was a vital part of America\u2019s security. Kennedy demanded that it house nuclear weapons and change its economic and foreign policies to support his. Frustrating Kennedy at every turn was Conservative Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, an unapologetic nationalist seeking to end the trend toward greater continental integration by bolstering Canadian autonomy and developing an independent identity. Meanwhile, Liberal leader Lester Pearson, the Nobel Prize\u2013winning diplomat, saw value in continuing the slide toward integration.\n\nWhile battling communism around the world, Kennedy never forgot his northern front. He adroitly exploited his enormous popularity among Canadians to seduce its people and pressure its government to bend to his will. He ruthlessly attacked Diefenbaker and shamelessly supported Pearson.\n\nNewly released documents present shocking revelations about these crucial years. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, Canadian ships and planes guarded America\u2019s Atlantic coast, while Canada suffered a silent coup d\u2019\u00e9tat. Kennedy pushed a nuclear weapons system on Canada while knowing full well that it was merely a decoy to draw Soviet fire. Kennedy carefully influenced and monitored the overthrow of a Canadian government and the election of another. While Canada helped Kennedy tumble into the Vietnam War he did nothing to stop American inspired violence on the Great Lakes border. Perhaps most startlingly, if not for Diefenbaker, Kennedy may have survived the assassin\u2019s bullets in Dallas.\n\nThe movie-television rights have already been optioned for this non-fiction book that reads like an adventure novel, brimming with sparkling stories, fascinating characters, and fresh insights into this critical moment. Cold Fire will astonish readers with the intriguing ways in which the struggles of these three resolute leaders determined the course of the next half-century.\n\nThe book can be pre-ordered at Chapters:\n\nor at Amazon:\n\n\n2 thoughts on \u201cCold Fire: Kennedy\u2019s Northern\u00a0Front\n\n 1. If you look at Kennedy\u2019s record \u2013 he accomplished nothing in his term of office. He can not even claim the Cuban Crisis, being as it was his advisers that made the decisions! That idea of Camelot was developed by PR men \u2013 not by truth!!\n\n\n 2.

Despite this it took me a long time to get on board with intersectionality, privilege, etc. but regardless, the pop culture of/depicting that particular time of despair and ennui never really fascinated me.\n\nYou know what I'm talking about - the fifties/early sixties, white middle-class housewives living in the suburbs and yearning for something more. Think Revolutionary Road, Mad Men, etc. (and see how it still captivates us - or perhaps re-captivates us). This is what The Torontonians is about - a middle-class white housewife, Karen, who lives in the suburbs and begins to see her life as unimaginably dull, and begins to toy with the idea of suicide.\n\nWhat kept me from being bored while reading The Torontonians was that it was not a tired re-tread of this pop culture trope; this book was first published in 1960, so it was pretty much written in real time. Young has captured perfectly the mood of her time, the fashion and feelings that costume designers and cinematographers are busting their butts now trying to replicate. I can't imagine that this book wasn't groundbreaking when it was published; I wonder how many women saw themselves in it, and how painful and liberating it must have been for them. At times I was bored and frustrated by it, but read in the context of the time it was written, it is earth-shattering.\n\nThe story takes place over a week of Karen's life, taking many detours into memories of her past. She lives in the fictional Toronto suburb of Rowanwood, and has just watched workmen lay the Chinese carpet she and her husband Rick have dreamed of owning for years. Suddenly, the end of the road has arrived - all of her dreams for herself have come true, and she realizes, slowly but surely, how petty and fragile those dreams really were. Now begins her \"happily ever after\", a prospect so dull and maddening, she considers suicide.\n\nWhat struck me about the novel was that despite being rooted in a very particular time and place, it is in some ways a universal story about what it means to grow up, or to be a \"grown up\". All of Karen's friends live what we would think of as grown up lives, with houses, cars, children, responsibilities, etc. But they act like adolescents, with their obsessions with things, their sneaking around, their idiotic conduct. And Karen begins to realize how much she had romanticized things in her past, as well as the concept of having the house and living in Rowanwood. She is not an adult until she decides to live fully in reality.\n\nI can't say too much about the story because it is one of those books that is about the journey; you need to follow everything through Karen's eyes and watch her grow. I loved how the author used Toronto as a blend of fact and fiction; Rowanwood is not real, nor are some of the street names mentioned, but some landmarks are - the Canada Life building, the art gallery, the university. As someone who is slightly familiar with the city, I found this led to the impression of a layer of fantasy covering the life of the inhabitants of Rowanwood - their slight separation from the reality of the life of the city. It was one of the most effective uses of Toronto as a setting that I've read so far.\n\nThere were times when I was a bit bored by the book, or I didn't want to pick it up because it was", "base_doc": "s of expatriates living abroad, or in the politicized form that most writing, even travel writing, on Iran has taken, but more an account of what it is to be an Iranian in Iran. Of course, an Iranian who is also fully American, or at least that's how I, and my friends, imagine me to be. My wife warmed to the idea, even if it meant leaving her family, friends, and work behind, and she understood that the opportunity might never present itself again, especially now that we had a child who would, before we knew it, be in school and have a life that would be difficult to interrupt for any long period of time. Karri, who had over the years spent months alone in India on sensitive yoga programs (and had lived alone in Italy, modeling and studying Italian after college), was still adventurous and even fearless, and a year, she reasoned, was not very long in the scheme of things. Our son would, if we went to Iran, be about the same age as I when I left it, less than a year old (I had accompanied my diplomatic family on my father's first posting abroad, to London), and he would spend his first birthday in the country of his father's birth. That probably mattered more to me, certainly not to him and by nature less my wife, but I was happy that she was keen on exposing our son to the culture of his father and his father's father, even if he didn't quite understand yet, early in his life. That Karri would finally see what she had heard about for so many years, and that I could show her something of my country of birth that might explain me better, was equally, if not more, appealing.<|endoftext|>Cold Fire: Kennedy\u2019s Northern\u00a0Front\n\n\nCold Fire: Kennedy\u2019s Northern Front will be published in Canada and the United States on February 2, 2016.\n\nThe United States and Canada had reached a crossroads and three leaders were trying to pull their countries in wildly different directions.\n\nPresident John F. Kennedy pledged to pay any price to advance America\u2019s homeland defense and strategic goals and he needed Canada to step smartly in line. Canada lay between the United States and the Soviet Union and so was a vital part of America\u2019s security. Kennedy demanded that it house nuclear weapons and change its economic and foreign policies to support his. Frustrating Kennedy at every turn was Conservative Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, an unapologetic nationalist seeking to end the trend toward greater continental integration by bolstering Canadian autonomy and developing an independent identity. Meanwhile, Liberal leader Lester Pearson, the Nobel Prize\u2013winning diplomat, saw value in continuing the slide toward integration.\n\nWhile battling communism around the world, Kennedy never forgot his northern front. He adroitly exploited his enormous popularity among Canadians to seduce its people and pressure its government to bend to his will. He ruthlessly attacked Diefenbaker and shamelessly supported Pearson.\n\nNewly released documents present shocking revelations about these crucial years. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, Canadian ships and planes guarded America\u2019s Atlantic coast, while Canada suffered a silent coup d\u2019\u00e9tat. Kennedy pushed a nuclear weapons system on Canada while knowing full well that it was merely a decoy to draw Soviet fire. Kennedy carefully influenced and monitored the overthrow of a Canadian government and the election of another. While Canada helped Kennedy tumble into the Vietnam War he did nothing to stop American inspired violence on the Great Lakes border. Perhaps most startlingly, if not for Diefenbaker, Kennedy may have survived the assassin\u2019s bullets in Dallas.\n\nThe movie-television rights have already been optioned for this non-fiction book that reads like an adventure novel, brimming with sparkling stories, fascinating characters, and fresh insights into this critical moment. Cold Fire will astonish readers with the intriguing ways in which the struggles of these three resolute leaders determined the course of the next half-century.\n\nThe book can be pre-ordered at Chapters:\n\nor at Amazon:\n\n\n2 thoughts on \u201cCold Fire: Kennedy\u2019s Northern\u00a0Front\n\n 1. If you look at Kennedy\u2019s record \u2013 he accomplished nothing in his term of office. He can not even claim the Cuban Crisis, being as it was his advisers that made the decisions! That idea of Camelot was developed by PR men \u2013 not by truth!!\n\n\n 2. I think you will find, if Fox will excuse me, a fair and balanced assessment of Kennedy and his administration as well as of all for which Diefenbaker and Pearson stood and fought for.\n\n\nPlease leave a comment\n\n\nYou are commenting using your account.

Despite this it took me a long time to get on board with intersectionality, privilege, etc. but regardless, the pop culture of/depicting that particular time of despair and ennui never really fascinated me.\n\nYou know what I'm talking about - the fifties/early sixties, white middle-class housewives living in the suburbs and yearning for something more. Think Revolutionary Road, Mad Men, etc. (and see how it still captivates us - or perhaps re-captivates us). This is what The Torontonians is about - a middle-class white housewife, Karen, who lives in the suburbs and begins to see her life as unimaginably dull, and begins to toy with the idea of suicide.\n\nWhat kept me from being bored while reading The Torontonians was that it was not a tired re-tread of this pop culture trope; this book was first published in 1960, so it was pretty much written in real time. Young has captured perfectly the mood of her time, the fashion and feelings that costume designers and cinematographers are busting their butts now trying to replicate. I can't imagine that this book wasn't groundbreaking when it was published; I wonder how many women saw themselves in it, and how painful and liberating it must have been for them. At times I was bored and frustrated by it, but read in the context of the time it was written, it is earth-shattering.\n\nThe story takes place over a week of Karen's life, taking many detours into memories of her past. She lives in the fictional Toronto suburb of Rowanwood, and has just watched workmen lay the Chinese carpet she and her husband Rick have dreamed of owning for years. Suddenly, the end of the road has arrived - all of her dreams for herself have come true, and she realizes, slowly but surely, how petty and fragile those dreams really were. Now begins her \"happily ever after\", a prospect so dull and maddening, she considers suicide.\n\nWhat struck me about the novel was that despite being rooted in a very particular time and place, it is in some ways a universal story about what it means to grow up, or to be a \"grown up\". All of Karen's friends live what we would think of as grown up lives, with houses, cars, children, responsibilities, etc. But they act like adolescents, with their obsessions with things, their sneaking around, their idiotic conduct. And Karen begins to realize how much she had romanticized things in her past, as well as the concept of having the house and living in Rowanwood. She is not an adult until she decides to live fully in reality.\n\nI can't say too much about the story because it is one of those books that is about the journey; you need to follow everything through Karen's eyes and watch her grow.

It was one of the most effective uses of Toronto as a setting that I've read so far.\n\nThere were times when I was a bit bored by the book, or I didn't want to pick it up because it was a bit depressing. But it was definitely, for me anyway, a worthwhile read and I would recommend it, for sure.\n\nThree", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 8310, "pt_loc": 38769757, "pt_shuffle_idx": 233127257, "doc_index_f": 365426549, "doc_index_l": 365426552, "offset_f": 852, "offset_l": 827, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 2, "pt_injection_len": 30, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [356, 647, 218, 828]} -{"pt_doc": "The cameraman is recording a video on the set, and the tourist in the hospital.

His voice has been described as \u201cAesop Rock impersonating Will Smith impersonating a white guy,\u201d a description I can\u2019t top, and his delivery is generally staccato and heavy on ye olde sarcasm. Here\u2019s a random sample of his lyrics (one fourth as effective out-of-context and on a computer screen):\n\nI\u2019m a hallucinogen pez-dispenser, led ventures With a group of oompa-looma parachute troopers Who discredit theories and behead your mentors Who can radiowave windsurf To invert what is common knowledge\n\n\nAnd I\u2019ll fortify the Left\u2019s patron saint With anti-war cries and face paint When the GOP appoints a man in tights To read protestors their Miranda rights This is an anger pact, a teen scratch post That boasts a paperback zine pathos \u201cUnsheathe the saber\u201d Says thee blasphemer\u2019s acting coach And torment the Scientologist at the Cineplex They are bonafide clansmen in dinner dress Giving your art loft undertows the thumb and nose\n\nHis latest record, RoadkillOvercoat, takes a lot of shots at ineffective leftists and the cool-kid culture (he knows his audience) and ventures into indie/electro-dance territory a lot more than the two earlier Busdriver records that I've been able to hear, Fear of a Black Tangent, and Temporary Forever. My main complaint about the guy is how much he raps about himself and his status within the underground hip-hop scene (although he chides me on that one--see interview), and maybe he\u2019s a little contemptuous of his audience at times (\u201cThe number one superfan/ With the notable computer tan\u201d), but overall he\u2019s pretty tolerable for a hip-hopper. According to the press kit hoohah, he\u2019s been branded as the \u201czany underground rap guy\u201d who attracts mainly white audiences, but at Chaser\u2019s on Friday night the crowd was pretty darn eclectic. Technically it was the Paid Dues afterparty but B.Driver made no reference to the fact except when I asked him about it (\u201cOh, no\u2026I wasn\u2019t there\u2026\u201d), and seemed none too thrilled to be interviewed either, rambling laconically from behind his horn-rimmed glasses with nary a spark of interest. I must\u2019ve done something wrong by asking him questions when he was in a rapping mood, because he did a 180 when he started his shtick. Live, he was what they call an animal. Bending, writhing, jerking his head around, veins and other tubes standing out on his forehead and neck, twisting and twiddling his fingers in time with every syllable (no mean feat when the man enjoys Latinates) and spitting out rhymes like he was getting his butt zapped. He distorted the phrasing and cadences, stretching out and compacting verses, and worked two mikes, one dry and one with delay/trem effects, often wrapping the cord around his neck and swooning with glee at his own power. I was impressed. Anyway, here\u2019s what we talked to him about:\n\nU.O.T.S.: Matt & Niki D\u2019Andrea BD: Busdriver\n\nUOTS: I read that you went to high school in Arizona. BD: I did! I went to a boarding school in Sedona, Arizona, called Verde Valley School for most of high school. It was kind of like a magnet alternative educational college preparatory campfire\u2026fuggin\u2026sing-along that masked itself as a school. When I was going, there were people from all over the country and all over the world.\n\nUOTS: What kind of kids went there? BD: Just fuckups, you know\u2026Rich kids and not so rich kids. It was a pretty interesting hodgepodge of god-knows-who. Like spoiled Japanese aristocracy, impoverished German kids\u2026it really was a mixture.\n\nUOTS: So how did you fuck up to get in with the fuckups? BD: I think I may have\u2026no, at that point\u2026what did I do? No, I didn\u2019t do anything really. No, my parents just found out about the school and got me in there.\n\nUOTS: What did you think of Sedona? BD: Well, where we were staying was a little bit outside, in Verde Valley, on the outskirts, but Sedona itself I never really spent much time in\u2026but it was always a big trip to go down there. It was very beautiful, the restaurants were all really nice. There was a lot of tourism-type\u2026jive. But Sedona is a gorgeous place. Very beautiful.\n\nUOTS: How did you come up with the name Busdriver? BD: There\u2019s no good story behind it. It's just one of those silly names that teenagers come up with.\n\nUOTS: So you came up with it when you were a teenager? BD: Yeah, my friend did actually.\n\nUOTS: I read something else about the title, Roadkill Overcoat, you were just driving along\u2026. BD: Actually my partner Matt came up with that one, and I just stole it from him. I had a bunch of ideas, bad ideas, and I didn\u2019t want to depend on them, and I liked what he said. I knew it was bad because I don\u2019t like titles that start with the letter R and I didn\u2019t like the way it looked on paper, and I had all these other things like lettering and wording that looked more aesthetically rounded and more what I liked to associate myself with. But fuck it, I didn\u2019t care. And it was indicative of my life right then and there.\n\nUOTS: You write like a rap critic in a lot of your songs, constantly analyzing yourself and the state of the music. Do you think that directly addressing the audience and calling their attention to rap and its possibilities is the only way to make them pay attention to what it can do? BD: Whuh\u2026I don\u2019t understand\u2026what am I?\n\nUOTS: Well, in a lot of your songs you talk about rap and the underground hip hop scene directly, and your status within, like Unemployed Black Astronaut, \u201cI was one of the top five fresh hip hop guys\u2026\u201d I was wondering if you followed music like that or if it was just your natural take on things? BD: Uh, music? Yeah\u2026.I definitely inquire into music. But as far as that whole slant on things, that was pretty much to that record, Fear of a Black Tangent...That record was pretty much that whole mindset of scrutinizing the rap game and kind of taking a sarcastic spin on my underdog status. But yeah, I inquire about music and take an interest in music.\n\nUOTS: Your lyrics are very dense and literate. Do you like to read? BD:I think I do, but I don\u2019t read as much as I used to.\n\nUOTS: Could you name a couple of your favorite books from when you used to read? BD: \u2026I really couldn\u2019t.\n\nUOTS: How long are you on the road now out of a whole calendar year? BD: Probably a solid four or five months.\n\nUOTS: So it doesn\u2019t leave a whole lot of time for leisure reading, I guess. BD: No, it leaves plenty of time for that, actually. There\u2019s a lot of waiting around when you\u2019re on the road. I don\u2019t know, I didn\u2019t read anything really special when I used to read a lot. I read a lot of Kurt Vonnegut and a lot of not so interesting\u2026a lot of\u2026well, I was supposed to be a philosophy major in school, so I read a lot of that crap. A lot of Marcuse and a lot of existential writers. It was pretty much a waste of time. It was \u201cfun.\u201d I mean, it\u2019s not a waste of time, it\u2019s just \u201cfun.\u201d I used to be a reader. I like to act like I am, but I\u2019m not.

It\u2019s like the funniest shit I\u2019d ever come across.\n\nUOTS:I have a couple questions out of left field for you. Have you ever been in a fight? BD: Yeah. Just at rap shows.\n\nUOTS: When you were younger, or fairly recently? BD: No, I haven\u2019t been in a fight in a while.

Bad posture and lack of exercise to the cervical region are the key factors which are responsible in a majority of the patients. Lying in bed with several pillows propping up the neck into an unnatural position can affect the alignment of the cervical column, causing a forward inclination. Reclining on sofas with the spine hunched and the neck pushed forward is bad for cervical alignment. Hunching over the computer for many hours, occupational hazards such as those of a writer, an illustrator or a painter, all cause the spine to be bent forward all the time. Positioning the body to the same side during sleep, with the shoulder muscles and the neck compressed, also develops faulty alignment in the cervical spine. In due course the spine is bent, the front surface of the bones and disc are excessively pressurized and the damage occurs.\n\nThe most common symptom is pain in the neck, worsening with exertion and relieved, in the early stages, by rest. This pain often radiates down to the hand, with the fingers becoming numb due to compression of the nerves that innervate the upper extremity. The brachial plexus is affected. The trapezius area becomes tender and painful. A nodule can form in the muscle due to chronic pressure.\n\nThe symptoms of cervical cord compression can sometimes be severe. The pain radiates down the right or left arm to the fingers, to the chest and shoulder blades depending on which side the nerve root is involved. It can become continuous, making movements painful and limited. If the cervical vertebrae become unstable, the danger of cord compression is imminent and, in some cases, fusion of the bones may be warranted. But this is rare.\n\nThe yogic management of CS includes widening of the intervertebral spaces by pulling the trapezius and other muscles downwards. There are various asanas which prevent and give relief to this problem \u2014 sarvangasana, halasana and back bends are significant. Standing poses help align the cervical and dorsal vertebrae. Inverted poses like head stand and shoulder stand strengthen the cervical muscles and shoulder area.\n\nAccording to Ayurveda the Vata, the principle of movement is the predominant function with the skeleto-muscular system and the nervous system. Problems relating to these systems are predominantly caused by vitiated Vata. The vitiation of vata is caused by two mechanisms. One of them is obstruction to vata due to malfunctioning of kapha and pitta. The other one is increase of vata independently (the degenerative problems). The sacrum is situated in the Vata area of the body and this disease is caused by aggravated Vata and ama (toxins), which cause stiffness and reduce mobility in this area. Treatment at Vedicure involves detoxification and elimination of ama and also a Vata pacifying diet, lifestyle and herbal preparations.<|endoftext|>The professor spoke to the audience during the conference, and the businessman did so during the workout too.

It didn't take long before we were both naked and rubbing our bods together. He had long silky black hair around his cock and he was pressing it into my straw blond hair around my own cock. He pulled me down on the bed and climbed onto me in a 69 position and we both started to suck one another's cocks. I started to moan and he said \"moan in English, please\". It had been a week and my nuts were full and hard. not to say that my 6 1/2 inches wasn't so hard that whenever he sucked, I would shoot some precum. I didn't want to stop the sucking, but he had other plans. \"Now, you fuck me, please! I want you in me and I want to watch you put it in and out.\" Thank God he had some lube as he was tight as they come for even my pretty normal size cock. He flung himself on his back, raised his legs to my shoulders and presented his pink hole to my raging cock. I tried to go gently into him but when my cock helmet rubbed against his love nut, he went wild. As I pumped into him he would spread his spincter muscles apart as I thrust and tighten them as I pulled almost out. What sensational feelings! As I slowly pumped him, he pulled me into him even scratching my back in his extasey . I was so close to coming that I had to call a short stop. I was still in his ass and we both were stroking and caressing each other. I asked him if he wanted to fuck me for a while and he said \"Oh yes, sir!\" With that, I rolled off of him turned on my back and put my legs on his shoulders this time. His cock was about 6 inches and quite thin. Even though it was very hard it went in and almost immediately started rubbing my prostate. \"Oh God, oh god\" I moaned. And then I shot. Ropes and ropes of cum poured out of my cock and shot over both of our bellies. I couldn't stop it and soon I felt his warm jiz in my ass. That sent me off again and he kept coming and coming too. After we had come down from the high, he found a rag and sort of cleaned us both off. We started 69ing again and in between sucks he said \"that was the best I ever had. will you come back for more?

I want you in me and I want to watch you put it in and out.\" Thank God he had some lube as he was tight as they come for even my pretty normal size cock. He flung himself on his back, raised his legs to my shoulders and presented his pink hole to my raging cock. I tried to go gently into him but when my cock helmet rubbed against his love nut, he went wild. As I pumped into him he would spread his spincter muscles apart as I thrust and tighten them as I pulled almost out. What sensational feelings! As I slowly pumped him, he pulled me into him even scratching my back in his extasey . I was so close to coming that I had to call a short stop. I was still in his ass and we both were stroking and caressing each other. I asked him if he wanted to fuck me for a while and he said \"Oh yes, sir!\" With that, I rolled off of him turned on my back and put my legs on his shoulders this time. His cock was about 6 inches and quite thin. Even though it was very hard it went in and almost immediately started rubbing my prostate. \"Oh God, oh god\" I moaned. And then I shot. Ropes and ropes of cum poured out of my cock and shot over both of our bellies. I couldn't stop it and soon I felt his warm jiz in my ass. That sent me off again and he kept coming and coming too. After we had come down from the high, he found a rag and sort of cleaned us both off. We started 69ing again and in between sucks he said \"that was the best I ever had. will you come back for more? I am here every day except Saturday and would want you any time it is O. K. for you\". Needless to say I dream about this one and have to change my boxer shorts most every so often.

So we\u2019re starting!\n\nThe church of San Moise in Venice is visited by crowds of tourists every year. The baroque facade is decorated with a mysterious inscription for many:\n\n\u201cIn honor and remembrance of John Lawa from Edinburgh, the celebrated general finance controller of the kings of France.\u201d\n\nAn English name and advisor to the rulers of France? Sounds weird? We promise that it is still more sensational!\n\nAn extraordinary biography\n\nJohn Law was born in Edinburgh in 1671 as the son of a goldsmith and heir to the Lauriston castle. As a young man, he went to London, where he took care of what 20-year-olds could do with the storm of hormones and excess money. Namely, he squandered his father\u2019s estate and mingled with numerous scandals. He must have caused quite a scandal, since in 1694, as a result of a duel (or simply a fight), he killed his neighbor, who supposedly more severely reprimanded him about his morals. Young Law was condemned for his misdemeanor to death. Had the execution been successful, the world would not have experienced the first speculative bubble in its history, and perhaps the French Revolution had not exploded so early and with such violence. John, as befits a real adventurer, escaped from prison and got to Amsterdam.\n\nCapital of finance\n\nHe could not find better! Amsterdam was then the capital of finance, something like contemporary Wall Street. The Dutch were really innovative about money. They established one of the first central banks in the world as well as a joint-stock company.\n\nFor the young Scot, what he saw in Amsterdam was a revelation. He was looking at the idea of \u200b\u200bthe nascent stock exchange and the rotation of the East India Company. One thing did not suit him. He did not understand why the issuer is only distributing a limited number of shares in Company in a situation of huge demand \u2026\n\nHe came up with a pretty quack figure. When he returned to Great Britain in 1700, he proposed concentrating ore in the hands of the state and increasing the issue of paper money (which would replace coins for good). He argued that there could be up to 10 times more money in circulation than the value of gold. Will it not cause an economic catastrophe? \u201cWhere else ?!\u201d \u2013 argued Law. He believed that the banknotes would be in constant circulation, multiplying the general wealth of the nation. However, the idea did not meet with acceptance.\n\n\nFeeling like an underestimated genius, Law went to France. Why was the Scot suddenly suddenly appreciated? Initially, he was not taken seriously. Foreign Minister, Marquis Torcy, called him a gambler and spy. However, they did make practical considerations. France was in debt for debt. It was devastated by the expensive war of Louis XIV, the government stood at the bankruptcy of bankruptcy. Someone came up with the idea of revising and reducing the debts of the court. Even that was not enough. To cover the deficit, 250 million were issued. interest bearing banknotes. It was also attempted to withdraw from circulation gold and silver coins. The latter, however, caused a recession. Law said he had an idea to solve these problems.\n\nA breakthrough\n\nIn autumn 1715, the Royal Council \u2013 rather in desperation, and not fascinated by financial innovations \u2013 listened to the Scotsman. Law introduced two ideas. One concerned a public bank that would issue money in the form of banknotes. However, the institution\u2019s vision was rejected, mainly by the bold idea of \u200b\u200ba hand on tax revenues. The second idea, concerning the establishment of a private Banque Generale, has already gained greater approval.\n\nThus, the bank was established the following year. Law himself stood at its head. The institution had the right to issue paper money for a period of two decades. In 1717, clever John also favored the fact that citizens could pay taxes in the paper currency he produced.\n\nLet us remember that Law was constantly modeled on ideas he had seen from the Dutch. That is why the next step was to establish a joint-stock company \u2013 the Western Company. It had a monopoly on the economic exploration of Louisiana. It was not known whether the new territory would provide the country with riches, but the speculative fever led to the company\u2019s stockpile.\n\nAlthough the beginning of the company\u2019s activity was promising, it caused some skepticism at the beginning. Prince Saint-Simon drew attention to the fact that such a system of functioning may work in England, \u201cwhere finances are under control\u201d and not in the unstable and absolutistly ruled France. Also the market started saying \u201cI check\u201d and when a competing company was established, it started to collect funds more efficiently. The response of the authorities was further privileges for the Lawa company, which were to attract a new wave of stock buyers.\n\nWhat\u2019s more, the demand for shares was driven by the same Law leader at the head of Banque Royale (because it was called Banque Generale after nationalization), issuing more and more banknotes. In addition, the West Company absorbed the East India Company and the China Company, which further increased the company\u2019s capitalization. She became so seemingly powerful that she even gave the government a loan to repay his debts.

So we\u2019re starting!\n\nThe church of San Moise in Venice is visited by crowds of tourists every year. The baroque facade is decorated with a mysterious inscription for many:\n\n\u201cIn honor and remembrance of John Lawa from Edinburgh, the celebrated general finance controller of the kings of France.\u201d\n\nAn English name and advisor to the rulers of France? Sounds weird? We promise that it is still more sensational!\n\nAn extraordinary biography\n\nJohn Law was born in Edinburgh in 1671 as the son of a goldsmith and heir to the Lauriston castle. As a young man, he went to London, where he took care of what 20-year-olds could do with the storm of hormones and excess money. Namely, he squandered his father\u2019s estate and mingled with numerous scandals. He must have caused quite a scandal, since in 1694, as a result of a duel (or simply a fight), he killed his neighbor, who supposedly more severely reprimanded him about his morals. Young Law was condemned for his misdemeanor to death. Had the execution been successful, the world would not have experienced the first speculative bubble in its history, and perhaps the French Revolution had not exploded so early and with such violence. John, as befits a real adventurer, escaped from prison and got to Amsterdam.\n\nCapital of finance\n\nHe could not find better! Amsterdam was then the capital of finance, something like contemporary Wall Street. The Dutch were really innovative about money. They established one of the first central banks in the world as well as a joint-stock company.\n\nFor the young Scot, what he saw in Amsterdam was a revelation. He was looking at the idea of \u200b\u200bthe nascent stock exchange and the rotation of the East India Company. One thing did not suit him. He did not understand why the issuer is only distributing a limited number of shares in Company in a situation of huge demand \u2026\n\nHe came up with a pretty quack figure. When he returned to Great Britain in 1700, he proposed concentrating ore in the hands of the state and increasing the issue of paper money (which would replace coins for good). He argued that there could be up to 10 times more money in circulation than the value of gold. Will it not cause an economic catastrophe? \u201cWhere else ?!\u201d \u2013 argued Law. He believed that the banknotes would be in constant circulation, multiplying the general wealth of the nation. However, the idea did not meet with acceptance.\n\n\nFeeling like an underestimated genius, Law went to France. Why was the Scot suddenly suddenly appreciated? Initially, he was not taken seriously. Foreign Minister, Marquis Torcy, called him a gambler and spy. However, they did make practical considerations. France was in debt for debt. It was devastated by the expensive war of Louis XIV, the government stood at the bankruptcy of bankruptcy. Someone came up with the idea of revising and reducing the debts of the court. Even that was not enough. To cover the deficit, 250 million were issued. interest bearing banknotes. It was also attempted to withdraw from circulation gold and silver coins. The latter, however, caused a recession. Law said he had an idea to solve these problems.\n\nA breakthrough\n\nIn autumn 1715, the Royal Council \u2013 rather in desperation, and not fascinated by financial innovations \u2013 listened to the Scotsman. Law introduced two ideas. One concerned a public bank that would issue money in the form of banknotes. However, the institution\u2019s vision was rejected, mainly by the bold idea of \u200b\u200ba hand on tax revenues. The second idea, concerning the establishment of a private Banque Generale, has already gained greater approval.\n\nThus, the bank was established the following year. Law himself stood at its head. The institution had the right to issue paper money for a period of two decades. In 1717, clever John also favored the fact that citizens could pay taxes in the paper currency he produced.\n\nLet us remember that Law was constantly modeled on ideas he had seen from the Dutch. That is why the next step was to establish a joint-stock company \u2013 the Western Company. It had a monopoly on the economic exploration of Louisiana. It was not known whether the new territory would provide the country with riches, but the speculative fever led to the company\u2019s stockpile.\n\nAlthough the beginning of the company\u2019s activity was promising, it caused some skepticism at the beginning. Prince Saint-Simon drew attention to the fact that such a system of functioning may work in England, \u201cwhere finances are under control\u201d and not in the unstable and absolutistly ruled France. Also the market started saying \u201cI check\u201d and when a competing company was established, it started to collect funds more efficiently. The response of the authorities was further privileges for the Lawa company, which were to attract a new wave of stock buyers.\n\nWhat\u2019s more, the demand for shares was driven by the same Law leader at the head of Banque Royale (because it was called Banque Generale after nationalization), issuing more and more banknotes. In addition, the West Company absorbed the East India Company and the China Company, which further increased the company\u2019s capitalization. She became so seemingly powerful that she even gave the government a loan to repay his debts. Sam Law took control of the collection of taxes.\n\nThe giant is shaking\n\nThe first crisis came in 1719, when England demanded the exchange of some of the banknotes she owned for gold. Law solved the crisis, but only thanks to the forgery of the company\u2019s balance sheet and announcements of huge dividends. Speculation reached its peak. A certain hunchback Bombardio did his career at the time. The transaction reported on his hump was said to be extremely favorable \u2026 The end was however close. In 1720, the more aware investors began to withdraw their banknotes in exchange for gold received from the bank. In summer, the institution was forced to suspend this process. The banknotes have completely lost their value (due to lack of public trust). At the end of the year Bank Royale was closed, while Law himself escaped abroad, where he died in poverty.\n\nWhat\u2019s next?\n\nThe crisis was so strong that it was only averted after nearly six years by the devaluation of Law. The crash was so severe for many that one of the investors (probably characterized by a specific sense of humor) ordered plates in China with the inscription \u201cS*tty shares and trade of the wind\u201d.\n\nThe reason for the bursting of the bubble was not only the storming of investors to the bank after ore. It is fair to note that Company\u2019s operations lacked foundations for such spectacular gains. Louisiana did not turn out to be a land from which you could make huge profits.\n\nWhy, however, at the beginning we noted that Law\u2019s actions accelerated the French Revolution?

Peanut butter is insanely packed with protein, which can help you out when you\u2019re bulking up and trying to stay healthy.\n \u2022 Protein Powder: Speaking of protein, are you getting enough? Blended diets are great, but they can lack sufficient protein sources. Toss some of this in to thicken up your drink and make it a bit healthier. As a warning, it\u2019s hard to mask the flavor of most protein powders (even unflavored ones).\n \u2022 Yogurt: It\u2019s an essential ingredient in smoothies, and you can switch it up with flavors, go from smooth to Greek, and use it as a variable that will switch up the texture of any drink.\n \u2022 Nut Milk: If yogurt doesn\u2019t work due to lactose intolerance, what about a nut milk? Almond, cashew, walnut\u2014add whichever one fits your flavor style, and thicken up the drink.\n\nFoods to Avoid in the Blender\n\nblending dried fruit\n\nThese all fall under the category of, \u201cYou can, but you really shouldn\u2019t.\u201d\n\nSome might be obvious, but others will be a bit surprising. It\u2019s all in an effort to maintain a consistent end result, while reducing the strain on your blender as the same time.\n\n \u2022 Frozen Fruit: Straight up frozen blueberries can be like putting pebbles in your blender. You don\u2019t want to chip the blade, now do you? They\u2019re pesky, so thaw them out before throwing them into the pitcher, or only use fresh blueberries instead.\n \u2022 Nuts: You should avoid it, but if you can\u2019t, then so be it. Nuts can turn into a bit of a paste if your blender is mid-tier, but for powerful blenders like Vitamix and Ninja models, you could likely whip up almonds into a nut butter. It depends on the blender, but generally, these are best avoided.\n \u2022 Garlic: It makes us sad, too, because garlic is essential for guacamole. Garlic has a very strong flavor, and while that\u2019s a good thing, it won\u2019t exactly be nice to detect a garlic undertone the next time you make a strawberry banana smoothie. Acidic foods like this with strong odors can absorb into the rubber seal.\n \u2022 Potatoes: This one sounds weird, but it\u2019s not because your blades can\u2019t handle it. If you\u2019re trying to make mashed potatoes, then your blender isn\u2019t up to the task. You could end up expelling too much starch from the potatoes, and basically make a delicious-looking glue.\n \u2022 Dried Fruit: Dehydrated fruit is super sticky. Just think of raisins or something along those lines, and the residue it leaves behind on your hands. Now think of your 6,000 RPM motor getting caked with it. Not good.\n \u2022 Boiling Liquid: It\u2019s not a food per se, but if you\u2019re trying to make soup and it\u2019s at a rolling boil, give it a minute to chill out before you pour it in your blender. Super hot liquid can leach chemicals from the plastic container, or cause rapid expansion in glass pitchers. For plastic, it can discolor, flavor, or just warp it depending on how hot the liquid is. You can still make hot soups in the blender, just don\u2019t be reckless about it.\n\nCan You Blend Meat?\n\ncan you blend meat in a blender\n\nYou absolutely can, and it could come out better than if you threw it into a food processor.\n\nThe main thing to keep in mind is the mix between fat and actual meat: you want a low fat content, otherwise it could gunk up the blades and make it difficult for it to move.\n\nEven with a powerful blender, it\u2019s still something you want to avoid.\n\nYou\u2019ll have to use low fat content meats, such as ribeye or new york strip for steak, or trim the fat off of fresh chicken and pork.\n\nIs Blending Food the Same as Eating It?\n\nblender food every day\n\nIt\u2019s actually better in some cases.\n\nYou\u2019re still getting nutrients, just like you would if you ate it.

Blended foods guarantee the highest chance for absorbing vitamins and nutrients, while also making you feel full at the same time.\n\nThis means you\u2019re getting what your body needs, so it won\u2019t crave as much, and feeling full will prevent the urge to snack throughout the day.\n\nThere\u2019s a difference between feeling full and feeling bloated.\n\nIf you\u2019ve ever finished a meal, leaned back, and thought to yourself \u201cWhy did I just do that?\u201d then you\u2019ve felt bloated.\n\nWe all do it from time to time, but when it becomes a common occurrence, that means something: your body wants more nutrients, not just more food.\n\nYou\u2019re fulfilling its request, but with the wrong things. It\u2019s like putting diesel in a Camry: it\u2019s not what the tank requires.\n\nIs a Blended Diet Viable?\n\nEating blended food everyday\n\nIt most certainly is.\n\nThe reason being: fiber.\n\nYou\u2019ve heard us say it a lot in this guide (and we\u2019re not done yet), but it\u2019s what makes you feel full and helps your digestive system to produce regular, normal movements.\n\nCompare that with juicing, which runs right through you.\n\nYou should still have straight up solid food when you can, but there\u2019s nothing wrong with a blended diet. You\u2019re still getting all the nutrients that you need, but it\u2019s in a more digestible method.\n\nThe only thing you have to keep in mind is that if you\u2019re opting for a blended diet, you need a high quality blender that\u2019s up to the task.\n\nThree square meals a day, plus snacks, isn\u2019t exactly easy for department store blender models to handle, not for a long time at least.\n\nWhen it comes to desserts with ice and thick ice cream thrown in, that puts stress on less powerful motors as well.\n\nGet something worthwhile (since it\u2019s going to replace your stove for a bit), like a Vitamix 750 model.\n\nDoes Blending Food Make it Easier to Digest?\n\nblended food easily digestible\n\nYes, it absolutely does. It\u2019s recommended to chew normal density and hardness foods about 32 times, while steak, nuts, and other hard foods upwards of 40 times.\n\nThat\u2019s per bite, mind you, and if you count how many chews you make until you feel ready to swallow most food, it\u2019s probably not even close to the threshold.\n\nChewing your food more not only burns calories, but it\u2019s better for your digestive system, and promotes a healthier body weight since your stomach can actually siphon the nutrients from the food properly.\n\nNow then, what if we threw it in a blender?\n\nIt\u2019s even better.

Getting the RTL designers to alter their code to ease congestion at this early stage saved having to deal with it later on in the design flow.\n\nWe were also able to use IC Compiler\u2019s Data Flow Analyzer feature to provide a graphical representation of the connectivity and dataflows between sub-blocks in the GPU, helping us to develop a congestion-aware floorplan.\n\nAt 20nm, we had to deal with the impact of double-patterning lithography and extreme density on place and route. These two factors have led to the introduction of many more, and more restrictive, design rules from the foundries. This, in turn, is challenging the standard-cell and memory designers to achieve the density increase one usually expects from migrating to a new process.\n\nFor example, to achieve adequate routing density we had to plan the pin position in each standard cell very carefully, adding padding in some cases to help. Doing this intelligently is critical; without padding, a design may be unroutable, but padding every cell indiscriminately will unnecessarily add a lot of die area.\n\nWe also worked with Synopsys to automatically insert boundary cells required for 20nm designs and to reduce other layout-dependent effects that can cause variability in the design.\n\nAccommodating the needs of double-patterning lithography has made the power grid implementation more difficult. We found that 20nm design rules with different metal pitches on each double-patterned layer make it easy to end up with misaligned pitches that can absorb a lot of routing resource. We worked with Synopsys to figure out how to pitch-match the various power grids to avoid wasting routing resources.\n\nEven with good cell and memory libraries, layout at 20nm remains difficult. The layout-decomposition and coloring tools in IC Compiler help ensure that our designs will be printable using double patterning. The Automatic DRC Repair facility in IC Validator helped us fix any remaining layout violations.\n\nWith our Mali test design, we have taken our latest GPU core, the latest Synopsys tools and an advanced TSMC process and used them to produce real silicon. This has enabled us to explore the impact of process, library and configuration choices in implementing Mali, and to validate our Artisan physical IP libraries. In working with Synopsys we have been able to show that the tools are ready, and we developed ways to keep some of the implementation challenges of 20nm and smaller processes transparent to the end user.\n\nWe have done all this in a very dynamic design environment in which the process and its design rules, as well as the physical IP and the tools were evolving all at once. With a 16nm test chip already underway, it\u2019s clear that design is going to remain very dynamic. For ARM, joint validation projects with tool providers such as Synopsys and foundry partners such as TSMC help us ensure that the entire design ecosystem is ready for customers who want to access the power, performance and area advantages of new process nodes.\n\nTo watch Tim being interviewed about developing this 20nm\u00a0flow by\u00a0Phil Dworsky, director of strategic alliances at Synopsys, click here.\n\nMore on\u00a0the collaboration between ARM and Synopsys here.\n\n\n\nTim Whitfield is currently the director of engineering for ARM\u2019s Hinschu Design Centre in Taiwan.\u00a0 He moved to Taiwan two years ago to create a design centre focused on ARM physical implementation on advanced process nodes.\u00a0\u00a0 Previously, Whitfield has worked for GEC and Fujitsu Telecommunications before joining ARM in 2000.

So why are so many companies still asking for customizations? Here\u2019s the case for no modifications to challenge the WMS implementation paradigm.\n\nThe warehouse management system (WMS) market in the United States is fairly mature, with many companies on their second, third, or fourth system. The software has come a long way from the custom-written systems developed in the 1980s and \u201990s that often took well over a year to get up and running, were prone to bugs, and caused integration nightmares. Much sleep was lost by information technology (IT) and operations staff when a go-live was imminent, worried that the cut-over might cause bottlenecks in their shipments or, even worse, shut down their distribution center entirely.\n\nIt only makes sense that these complex, robust systems would evolve over time. Many of the \u201cbest of breed\u201d providers now offer WMS software that, while still able to handle complex operations, are easier to use and often are web-based and mobile-friendly. Features that were once custom-developed to meet the need of a specific client or industry are now part of the standard software and accessible to all users as part of the base system. Even so, many companies have not recognized these changes and instead are still trying to implement WMS in the same way that they have for years. It\u2019s more than time to challenge the WMS implementation paradigm.\n\nImplementations\u2014the old-fashioned way\n\nHistorically, the complex nature of WMS software meant that a lot of technical expertise was needed just to implement the software successfully\u2014let alone make any customizations that might be necessary to fit a company\u2019s functional requirements. Implementations were often long, expensive, and painful. They would be measured in years rather than in months. Furthermore, the systems were not user-friendly, consisting of green screens and basic commands that were not intuitive. As a result, the software required extensive training that was often tedious and time-consuming. Finally, to meet the individual needs of a distribution operation, the software was usually heavily modified and custom-coded.\n\nEven at that time, it was recognized that customization wasn\u2019t always a good idea. The software was typically customized to meet the existing processes, but the processes it was automating were not always the most efficient way to do things. Companies expected software to be a magic wand that would instantly make them more productive, efficient, and profitable. But in hindsight, managers often realized they should have fine-tuned their processes to align with best practices first before they customized the software. Furthermore, highly modified WMS software required even more training and led to even longer implementation timeframes.\n\nStill, having a WMS was a far cry from handling operations with paper. Once a system was configured and working properly, it provided a great deal of information to aid in decision making, helped end users increase efficiency and productivity, and reduced costs.\n\nNew approach to implementation: no modification\n\nWMS software and implementation processes have come a long way in the past couple of decades. Warehouse management systems now include best practice processes for most industries and functional requirements. In fact, they\u2019ve gotten so good that if your process requires a modification, you really need to spend the time to dig deep and ask yourself if your way is truly better and necessary, or if you would benefit from changing your process. Software is also written differently and is more configurable, which means features can be turned on or off within the system based on a company\u2019s industry and requirements.\n\nStill, many companies today continue to choose to write modifications to the software rather than change their processes to match the software\u2019s built-in best practices approach. Perhaps this is because of a \u201cthis is the way we\u2019ve always done it\u201d mentality or because the company hasn\u2019t taken the time to research the benefits of changing processes to match best practices. And sometimes consulting companies even encourage modifications because it means more billable work for them. However, many problems arise when you modify the code of software, including higher total cost of ownership, longer implementation time frames, integration integrity issues, increased fees for support and maintenance, and limited ability to upgrade and adopt new features as new versions of the software are released.\n\nWhile implementing a WMS with no modifications would have been out", "base_doc": " more routing layers, but that increases cost. Navigating these trade-offs is complex. Advanced process technologies offer more choices, such as various channel lengths and threshold voltages in the basic transistors. We undertake extensive benchmarking to understand the power and performance trade-offs of each option, so that users can understand the implications of their GPU configuration choices.\n\nWe worked with a Synopsys-based design flow, starting with Design Compiler for physically-aware synthesis, then using IC Compiler for double-patterning-aware place and route and PrimeTime SI for timing sign-off. To make the chip as valid a trial as possible, we used DFT MAX to insert full test structures. Lastly, the physical verification was handled by IC Validator.\n\nCompleting a GPU-based SoC design from RTL to GDSII can take weeks, making it important to get the correct design rapidly.

ACMA's Chemical Processing Symposium aims to educate engineers about composites' potential.\n\nPosted on: 9/11/2013\nSource: CompositesWorld\n\nThere are few applications as well matched to composites\u2019 strengths than chemical processing. Composites\u2019 durability, strength and corrosion resistance make them an obvious choice in environments filled with hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, caustic soda and aqueous chlorine chemistry, to name a few.\n\nWhy, then, are composite materials like glass-reinforced epoxy vinyl ester not more widely used in the chemical processing industry? In this fast-growing market, metals and metallic alloys are still the material of choice in some applications that would benefit greatly by a switch to composites.\n\nThom Johnson, industry manager of corrosion-resistant resins at Ashland Performance Materials (Columbus, Ohio), says some chemical processes like chlor alkali that used to rely on metals and alloys are so corrosive that a \u201cstep-change solution\u201d in materials was required and the switch to composites was made.\n\nHowever, Johnson says, in other applications, like those employing aqueous chlorine chemistry, the incumbent (metallic) material\u2019s corrosion resistance is adequate and thus not at a failure point that demands a material change. These applications, he notes, are an opportunity for the composites industry to prove the value proposition of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP). \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of missionary work to be done there,\u201d Johnson contends.\n\nSuch missionary work begins with composites education, which Johnson notes is lacking. Chemical and mechanical engineers graduating college today are usually not educated about alternatives to metals, he says, and are unaware of the benefits conferred by composites in a chemical processing environment. On top of this, veteran engineers have grown accustomed to legacy materials (metals and alloys) and resist conversion to composites.\n\nDesigned to fill the education gap is the American Composites Manufacturing Association\u2019s (ACMA, Arlington, Va.)

Though blind from childhood, he participated in musical activities like other kids, starting out at the age of seven on djembe drum. Vieux\u2019s talent was immediately obvious to all. When he was eleven, his brothers would go out to work in the fields, leaving him alone in the house. Vieux took to borrowing his brothers\u2019 six-string harp, thekamele n\u2019goni, and learned to play the things he had heard on the radio and at local parties, where the kamele n\u2019goni was then king.\n\n\nVieux Kant\u00e9\n\nA smaller, higher-pitched version of the donson n\u2019goni (hunter\u2019s harp), the kamele n\u2019goni (youth harp) was not restricted by the secrecy and taboo surrounding hunter\u2019s culture. The kamele n\u2019goni was something of a youth itself, invented only in the 1960s. In a few short years, it had transformed village recreation throughout the Wassoulou region, which includes southern Mali, northern Guinea and part of Ivory Coast. So Vieux tapped into a deep vein of popular emotion when he emerged as one of the hottest young kamele n\u2019goni players. When he moved to the Malian capital, Bamako, he also proved an innovator who helped to \u00ab\u00a0evolve\u00a0\u00bb the instrument. Ever in search of new possibilities, he began adding strings, from six to eight in 1987, then ten in 1998, and twelve in 2000. These modifications gave him more than an octave and a complete major or minor scale. As for the remaining notes, the \u00ab\u00a0jazz notes,\u00a0\u00bb Vieux said that although they are not on the instrument, he could play them\u2014\u00a0\u00bbYou have to do those yourself,\u00a0\u00bb he said, \u00ab\u00a0using your own head.\u00a0\u00bb\n\n\nWhen Afropop Worldwide met Vieux and recorded him in March, 2005, he demonstrated amazing techniques for sliding across strings, bending notes, and creating unusual percussion effects. It was obvious why he was considered one of the most dynamic and accomplished solo players in the country. At the time, Vieux was leading his own group, with a lineup of two kamele n\u2019goni , bass guitar, drums, djembe, and two singers. Word was they had recorded a cassette, but it had yet to hit the market. Then, just a few months later, came word that Vieux had died after a sudden illness. We can only hope that all the recordings he made will eventually see the light of day, because this was truly an extraordinary artist.

Following an analysis of the meaning and context of security of supply, the study uses transparent and policy-relevant indicators to show that, together with improvements in energy efficiency, nuclear energy has indeed contributed significantly to enhanced energy supply security in OECD countries over the past 40 years.\n\nMeer Informatie:\n\nTerug naar overzicht.<|endoftext|>Vieux Kante was born in 1974 in Niesmala in the Sikasso region of Mali. Though blind from childhood, he participated in musical activities like other kids, starting out at the age of seven on djembe drum. Vieux\u2019s talent was immediately obvious to all. When he was eleven, his brothers would go out to work in the fields, leaving him alone in the house. Vieux took to borrowing his brothers\u2019 six-string harp, thekamele n\u2019goni, and learned to play the things he had heard on the radio and at local parties, where the kamele n\u2019goni was then king.\n\n\nVieux Kant\u00e9\n\nA smaller, higher-pitched version of the donson n\u2019goni (hunter\u2019s harp), the kamele n\u2019goni (youth harp) was not restricted by the secrecy and taboo surrounding hunter\u2019s culture. The kamele n\u2019goni was something of a youth itself, invented only in the 1960s. In a few short years, it had transformed village recreation throughout the Wassoulou region, which includes southern Mali, northern Guinea and part of Ivory Coast. So Vieux tapped into a deep vein of popular emotion when he emerged as one of the hottest young kamele n\u2019goni players. When he moved to the Malian capital, Bamako, he also proved an innovator who helped to \u00ab\u00a0evolve\u00a0\u00bb the instrument. Ever in search of new possibilities, he began adding strings, from six to eight in 1987, then ten in 1998, and twelve in 2000. These modifications gave him more than an octave and a complete major or minor scale. As for the remaining notes, the \u00ab\u00a0jazz notes,\u00a0\u00bb Vieux said that although they are not on the instrument, he could play them\u2014\u00a0\u00bbYou have to do those yourself,\u00a0\u00bb he said, \u00ab\u00a0using your own head.\u00a0\u00bb\n\n\nWhen Afropop Worldwide met Vieux and recorded him in March, 2005, he demonstrated amazing techniques for sliding across strings, bending notes, and creating unusual percussion effects. It was obvious why he was considered one of the most dynamic and accomplished solo players in the country. At the time, Vieux was leading his own group, with a lineup of two kamele n\u2019goni , bass guitar, drums, djembe, and two singers. Word was they had recorded a cassette, but it had yet to hit the market. Then, just a few months later, came word that Vieux had died after a sudden illness. We can only hope that all the recordings he made will eventually see the light of day, because this was truly an extraordinary artist.

AKA the old suburbs. Within the core there has also been a push to make Mexican food more Foodie-ish with\u00a0refined ingredients, higher expectations, fancier locations, and of course, higher prices. It\u2019s some weird dream of well-to-do Latinos to join into that world of Food as Recreational Eating rather than food as sustenance and nutrition. As if making your grandma\u2019s favorite dish a luxury item somehow validates your hard scrabble life of barely getting by. I don\u2019t get it. But it\u2019s a sad reality that working people are experiencing as old favorites get replaced by some new concept that \u201cplays\u201d with some traditional dish. First they gentrify your neighborhoods, then they gentrify your food. Sad!\n\nToday we find ourselves scoping out the terrain of City of Industry since we are headed to the nearby Fry\u2019s for some random computer cable. Might as well take advantage of the vicinity. La Poblana seems promising, a ver que tal!\n\nThis Poblana looks a bit more of the People of Pallor persuasion, but she\u2019s got some massive knees to make you shut up about it.\n\nTop of the list: $8 Huevos Rancheros. No description, but\u00a0 I will take my chances. They serve breakfast all day so that\u2019s a plus.\n\nThey really outdid themselves with this salsa and chips spread: warm chips and 3 different salsas to choose from", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 21398, "pt_loc": 48867874, "pt_shuffle_idx": 34089000, "doc_index_f": 53430986, "doc_index_l": 53430990, "offset_f": 767, "offset_l": 396, "pt_injection_pos": 4, "pt_window_offset": 13, "pt_injection_len": 77, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [179, 607, 279, 587, 397]} -{"pt_doc": "Playing saxophone: A green title page appears, with words showing that the video will be of a tenor saxophone player as well as the website to receive to lessons.

So was thereany like instances in which he felt like okay, like here is an exampleof like we were able to work for something really difficult, and here's howI was able to coach my team, because I think the communication piece isso huge to just grow a team. For sure. Oh Yeah, II'm definitely obviously regular oneonon's, of course, and just always kind of being available. But I found that, you know, always leading with metrics,which was sort of my m for years and years and years, which I'ma still a big believer in. It doesn't have to be every meeting right, like literally just asking the questions, like letting them talk, letting themthink through their own solutions, but certainly a I had to personally kind ofswitch my lens and think like, okay, when I was in that seat,did I feel comfortable enough to advise or say this without right? That'ssort of reparations and and so I make it very clear from the get goand I try to be, you know, somewhat vulnerable, like you know,this is what I went through and this is how I overcame it.Or I've been in your shoes and I know what that feels like. Thisis what I did, like talk me through what you want to do.So I feel like the team that I had before in the team now theytend to respond better to that just because, like I said, new were inin their work career and they they just want to be heard. Theywant to feel like what they're doing meaningful and they're not just a number ona leaderboard. So I'm very keen on, like I said, overcommunicating and exceedingperformance. But you know they're not musually exclusive, right. Yeah,you can talk through that and I think it's so easy to focus on,like when you're in that high growth mode of like, okay, the metricswe got, like do we what? How? How far did we exceedour number this month? And that becomes the sole focus and it is reallyeasy and like, whatever your quote, if it's a monthly quart or whatever, just to get caught in that cycle and not take time for breaks orto check in on folks. But it sounds like you got a really goodcadence of just like, you know, making sure that the people who areon the team were okay and like checking in on them and using one onons, not just for pipeline reviews or forecast, which is okay. Like how areyou as a human doing situation? Absolutely, absolutely. I wish Iwould have had that more when I was on the up and up, butfor the most part I have really great leaders. But yeah, sometimes it'sjust even asking how you are will change. Yeah, the whole buyer and itmean it sounds like you yourself. Just you know, you are sobought into this idea of growth mindset and like roll them with the punches andjust existing and thriving and ambiguity. was there like an instance or a seriesof events in your own professional career that you feel taught you that, orhave you always been like that? How did you pick that up? Yeah, yeah, I think it was about... I was the first insideseller at my previous organsize, very much the Guinea pig for everything, rightprocess to night school, and I was first job, well, I guessfirst real big job, and it shaped me in a way that I wasn'tfully aware of until I got older, because I grew to not know anythingelse. So I really enjoyed and thriving, like being the only person and justlike constantly going in uncharted territory. Exactly. Yeah, so that's whereI felt I could make the most impact and I really enjoyed like the dynamic, agile functions of what I was doing. And then, you know, whenstabilize, it's more of like okay, I did that job, like whatnow? What's a new territory or a new rage? Right, soit were forced to as well, because it was like where, like Iget to work, I might want to find things to keep myself busy,ha ha, yeah, exactly, and I'm not one to just stagnate,right. So I yeah, I've always been super comfortable with change and Ithink what I had to really lean into was more of the change management pieceof just like how do I get other people bought it in like this?How do I get them excited for something now? So or, you know, the last of five, six years, when it was going through companies beingbought and acquiring others and merging teams, it was very much just like we'rein it all for one right, or this makes sense and this iswhy. And I think once people understand kind of the holistic view, theyseem more inclined to kind of move towards it, so of just looking downthe tunnel of what's right in front of them. So goes back to overcommunicating. Always totally we I know this the theme of this Podcast, is it? Yeah, we're even like when I'll go ahead. I said, yeah, we got to change the title. We see, Yah, we certainlycan.

But as you're building a process, itcould be really tricky to plan for things. I like you just unexpected events orlike changes in the markets. Like how do you think about as theleader of this whole inside sales team, you can only plan for so much. For How do you think about building process or preparing your people so thatwhen things change, because they always do, there's not this feeling of whiplash andthen people feeling just like exhausted from change management? You know what Imean? Yeah, absolutely. I think getting the right people involved early onhelps. So some you know, individual contributors just being part of the process. They turn into sort of the champions for you. HMM. But additionally, it's understood up front like this is something that we're trying to sort outand it's going to be sort of an ongoing refinement. So sort of settingthat precedents up from within, like yeah, this is the minimum viable product.It's going to do you, why and Z and as we have thesead hoc things, will adjust the approach and then, I think once peoplefeel once again empowered to advise, like hey, this isn't working, let'sdo this. I do make sure, though, that side from engineering,right, like we're not testing something or working on something for it to break, like we're not trying to break it, we're trying to test the how itwill help get us to where we're going with what we have. SoI think people tend to push back and, you know, say no more oftenthan yes when they're asked to do something different. So I talked throughlike why, why is this a hard note for you, like how wethought about this, how we considered this, and I sort of I don't wantto say force, but I've for to think about, like I said, bigger picture, like is this really is important for you? Yeah,said a blocker. Is it really going... be an issue, or isit just a small tweak and adjustment that has, you know, huge andvery quick impact? So I think explicit up front expectation setting and then gettingyour champions involved throughout the whole process. Yeah, like I've seen it helpa lot with many tools like sense. Yeah, yeah, I can betricky, right when you're like look, here's the deal, our job isto execute on this plant. T happening, so we got to get on board. Yeah, I like just for any nice way. Yeah, Idon't care how you get there, just get there. This is what I'mgiving you to help you. If you don't use it, you'll see,you'll see it takes a bit longer for you to get to the end zone. So usually we are pretty after a while they're like, okay, thismakes sense and then they can't imagine their life without it.

Choose a hydrating makeup primer if you have dry skin. If your skin begs for lotion after a shower, you definitely need to get a makeup primer for dry skin. A good, nourishing primer can take the place of your lotion, so you can hydrate your skin and prep it for makeup in one step. Look for primers with words like \" hydrating, \" \" soothing, \" or \" replenishing. \" Pick a mattifying primer if you have oily skin.<|endoftext|>Monday, May 7, 2007\n\nThe intimidation factor\n\nA couple of weeks ago, I was talking to someone who had a pentecostal background. They mentioned how it took them a while before they could really see God as a friend, instead of being intimidated by Him. That struck a chord in me.\n\nIt's hard to have any kind of \"deep\" relationship with someone who intimidates you. You instinctively want to keep them at arm's length. You don't have to dislike them--in fact, you can hold them in very high esteem and still keep them at a distance. Unfortunately, that's where I am in my relationship with God right now... and that's where I've been for quite a long time.\n\nThe problem is, I don't really believe that God loves me unconditionally. I know it in my head, but I don't really believe it yet in my heart. I believe that He loves me when I do the right things, say the right things, etc etc...\n\nI've had to completely re-think what it means to be loved by God. I used to believe that God loved me when I felt the warm fuzzies and did the carpet time and got the \"prophetic words\" and life was going well. So much of what I understood in the past was tied up in either emotions or results. Emotions, because it was so important to feel God's presence, power, and love in a tangible way; results, because God's favor was guaranteed if your relationship with Him was right. You could guage the health of your relationship with God by those factors.\n\nSo what happens when you take those things away?\n\nNo comments:<|endoftext|>Friday, February 5, 2010\n\nSpiritual progress is a load of rubbish\n\nHi Tom,\n\nThanks for highlighting this - some clarity is called for here, for sure. So here goes...\n\nIf the idea of separation is running then the concept will present that there is 'one' who is not enlightened, one who is enlightened and one who is liberated. From that perspective only, there can be an appearance of a spiritual hierarchal system. Really this, like all that can be said, is all a load of rubbish because there isn't 'one' in the first place! Enlightenment is simply the indisputable seeing that there is no 'one'; that what you thought you were was nothing more than concepts passing in consciousness. So that destroys all possibilities of one being a guru or satguru - it's just gobbledygook. Yet, everything has its place and the inward movement of the mind can continue (post enlightenment) and consciousness(presenting as separate mind) can label this as progress. That happens too.\nBut this is progress for whom? That's where it falls down again! There can only be a hierarchy when separation is running.\nYet, levels of consciousness present in this movie and they do not apply to any individual. There are no individuals. Consciousness throws up all concepts and somehow if the idea of separation is running then they are taken as real, right and wrong, etc. So as long as that movie is entertained consciousness will continue to imagine/present the idea of a seeker with something to achieve. This is just the play of an I and there never was any one ever really caught up in this anyway....truly there isn't any 'one' and can not be 'one'. So that leaves all of this material as just thoughts (don't make them anybody's) with no substance in any objective reality. Still consciousness presents all these concepts, and it will continue to be like this, it seems. Yes for sure - remaining as pure silence beats all of this any day in any dimension!!\nA Dublin date for a satsang sitting has just been set up for March 6th and 7th.....let's see what happens!\n\nHey Dan - really there is nothing to understand. Being what you really are is happening; that can not be stopped or started. What you are is beyond all of this. Nothing to work out any more perhaps; let the fragrance of what you are arise and dissolve any tendency to imagine you are other than the essence of all that IS.\n\nWednesday, January 6, 2010\n\nSelf Realisation is not Liberation\n\nSelf realisation, awakening and enlightenment are terms used to label the direct experience of Reality. This is not a regular experience (spiritual or otherwise) that one can have as the \u2018I\u2019 can not experience it. Yet it is a happening within the phenomenal world. The space between two \u2018I\u2019 thoughts offers this direct experience many times a day but while attention is focused on thoughts and they are taken to be real, well\u2026then the \u2018I\u2019 movie is still more potent than the pull towards Truth.\n\nSeeing through the matrix; realising that your perception of reality entirely hinges upon the belief that you exist as a separate individual, is for some a eureka moment but for others it goes un-noticed. In the latter case, some time (usually years) pass until it is recognised that thoughts are no longer believed. For some, a deep understanding follows; the intricacies of how creation can be taken as real is revealed. It is then that sentences from advaita such as \u2018nothing ever happened\u2019 make most sense. There is clear knowing of what is illusion and a direct knowing of what is beyond mind.\n\nAdvaita texts state that the stabilisation of self realisation leads to the \u2018state\u2019 of liberation. While the seeing through of the \u2018I\u2019 thought is the first step towards liberation; it does not automatically follow that self realisation leads to liberation in every case. From what jac has seen while travelling in the west in 2009 it seems in western cultures self realisation is taken to be the end of the line; the show is over.

They mentioned how it took them a while before they could really see God as a friend, instead of being intimidated by Him. That struck a chord in me.\n\nIt's hard to have any kind of \"deep\" relationship with someone who intimidates you. You instinctively want to keep them at arm's length. You don't have to dislike them--in fact, you can hold them in very high esteem and still keep them at a distance. Unfortunately, that's where I am in my relationship with God right now... and that's where I've been for quite a long time.\n\nThe problem is, I don't really believe that God loves me unconditionally. I know it in my head, but I don't really believe it yet in my heart. I believe that He loves me when I do the right things, say the right things, etc etc...\n\nI've had to completely re-think what it means to be loved by God. I used to believe that God loved me when I felt the warm fuzzies and did the carpet time and got the \"prophetic words\" and life was going well. So much of what I understood in the past was tied up in either emotions or results. Emotions, because it was so important to feel God's presence, power, and love in a tangible way; results, because God's favor was guaranteed if your relationship with Him was right. You could guage the health of your relationship with God by those factors.\n\nSo what happens when you take those things away?\n\nNo comments:<|endoftext|>Friday, February 5, 2010\n\nSpiritual progress is a load of rubbish\n\nHi Tom,\n\nThanks for highlighting this - some clarity is called for here, for sure. So here goes...\n\nIf the idea of separation is running then the concept will present that there is 'one' who is not enlightened, one who is enlightened and one who is liberated. From that perspective only, there can be an appearance of a spiritual hierarchal system. Really this, like all that can be said, is all a load of rubbish because there isn't 'one' in the first place! Enlightenment is simply the indisputable seeing that there is no 'one'; that what you thought you were was nothing more than concepts passing in consciousness. So that destroys all possibilities of one being a guru or satguru - it's just gobbledygook. Yet, everything has its place and the inward movement of the mind can continue (post enlightenment) and consciousness(presenting as separate mind) can label this as progress. That happens too.\nBut this is progress for whom? That's where it falls down again! There can only be a hierarchy when separation is running.\nYet, levels of consciousness present in this movie and they do not apply to any individual. There are no individuals. Consciousness throws up all concepts and somehow if the idea of separation is running then they are taken as real, right and wrong, etc. So as long as that movie is entertained consciousness will continue to imagine/present the idea of a seeker with something to achieve. This is just the play of an I and there never was any one ever really caught up in this anyway....truly there isn't any 'one' and can not be 'one'. So that leaves all of this material as just thoughts (don't make them anybody's) with no substance in any objective reality. Still consciousness presents all these concepts, and it will continue to be like this, it seems. Yes for sure - remaining as pure silence beats all of this any day in any dimension!!\nA Dublin date for a satsang sitting has just been set up for March 6th and 7th.....let's see what happens!\n\nHey Dan - really there is nothing to understand. Being what you really are is happening; that can not be stopped or started. What you are is beyond all of this. Nothing to work out any more perhaps; let the fragrance of what you are arise and dissolve any tendency to imagine you are other than the essence of all that IS.\n\nWednesday, January 6, 2010\n\nSelf Realisation is not Liberation\n\nSelf realisation, awakening and enlightenment are terms used to label the direct experience of Reality. This is not a regular experience (spiritual or otherwise) that one can have as the \u2018I\u2019 can not experience it. Yet it is a happening within the phenomenal world. The space between two \u2018I\u2019 thoughts offers this direct experience many times a day but while attention is focused on thoughts and they are taken to be real, well\u2026then the \u2018I\u2019 movie is still more potent than the pull towards Truth.\n\nSeeing through the matrix; realising that your perception of reality entirely hinges upon the belief that you exist as a separate individual, is for some a eureka moment but for others it goes un-noticed. In the latter case, some time (usually years) pass until it is recognised that thoughts are no longer believed. For some, a deep understanding follows; the intricacies of how creation can be taken as real is revealed. It is then that sentences from advaita such as \u2018nothing ever happened\u2019 make most sense. There is clear knowing of what is illusion and a direct knowing of what is beyond mind.\n\nAdvaita texts state that the stabilisation of self realisation leads to the \u2018state\u2019 of liberation. While the seeing through of the \u2018I\u2019 thought is the first step towards liberation; it does not automatically follow that self realisation leads to liberation in every case. From what jac has seen while travelling in the west in 2009 it seems in western cultures self realisation is taken to be the end of the line; the show is over. To a certain point this is so, yet self realisation is not liberation\u2026there is more. What can change will continue to change against the unmoving background. To this end, the sense of the \u2018I\u2019 can again arise and desires may influence action or in some cases the pull towards total annihilation of the wandering mind continues until liberation.\n\nUseful terms to denote the difference can be found in Indian culture; the guru is self realised and the satguru is liberated.\n\nManifesting as the satguru, the Absolute Seer has nothing to see.

Rodents can breed rapidly and do quite a bit of damage to your home by chewing on things and getting into food supplies. Wild rodents can also carry diseases that may infect humans, whether directly or through fleas and ticks that infect the rodents.\n\nYou may notice signs of a rodent infestation before you catch a glimpse of the actual rodents. One of the most common signs is the presence of rat or mouse droppings. Both are similar in shape, but rat droppings are bigger than mouse droppings. Rodent urine might also be found. Rodent feces is usually found in the kitchen, in cupboards, drawers, and pantries. You may also hear the rodents walking around or squeaking, especially at night. In some cases, nests may be found. Nests are made from various scraps that the rodents find. Rodents also chew on things continually to keep their front teeth filed down. Wood in the house can be damaged due to rodent gnawing. The most dangerous aspect of rodent gnawing is when the rats or mice chew on electrical cords, potentially leading to electric fires in your home. A house cat or dog might also notice rodents in the walls or behind furniture and chase or bark at them.\n\nAlthough a rodent infestation is not a good thing to have, and many people are afraid of rats and mice, rats and mice are interesting and intelligent creatures. Rats and mice are both kept as domesticated pets and are intelligent enough to learn tricks. Wild mice and rats do not make good pets like the domesticated varieties do; domesticated mice and rats are significantly more friendly than their wild counterparts. Rats and mice both have an excellent sense of smell and they are even used in the place of dogs to sniff for drugs, explosives, or even human diseases such as tuberculosis.\n\nMice are basically herbivorous in the wild, eating plant material, but they will eat pretty much any food scraps they can find in someone's home. Rats are opportunistic feeders and will eat basically anything. The life span of rodents is shorter in the wild than in captivity because they have many predators, such as birds of prey and reptiles. Rodents are often sold as live reptile food for owners of snakes. In some cultures, rodents are eaten by people as a source of food. In most developed cultures, eating rodents is taboo because they are seen as dirty creatures.\n\nRats and mice are both commonly used as laboratory research animals and many genetically engineered strains exist.

What if there were private armies of 275,000 men -- armed with machine guns, assault rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and mortar launchers, hiding out in dangerous areas of cities all over the U.S.? What if these militias so completely controlled Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Denver and Omaha that local police and federal troops could not go into those cities?\n\nWhat if, during the last year, the secretary of State (Aqila Hashimi), the president (Ezzedine Salim) and the attorney general (Ayatollah Mohammed Bakr Hakim) had all been assassinated?\n\nWhat if all the cities in the U.S. were racked by crime, with thousands of murders, kidnappings, burglaries and carjackings?\n\nWhat if the Air Force routinely bombed Billings, Mont.; Flint, Mich.; South-Central Los Angeles; Philadelphia and other areas, attempting to target \"safe houses\" of \"criminal gangs\" but inevitably killing a lot of children and little old ladies?\n\nWhat if, from time to time, the Army besieged Virginia Beach, killing hundreds of armed members of the Christian Soldiers? What if entire platoons of the Christian Soldiers militia holed up in Arlington National Cemetery and were bombarded by U.S. warplanes daily, destroying thousands of graves and even pulverizing the Vietnam Veterans Memorial over on the Mall? What if there were no commercial air traffic in the country? What if many roads were highly dangerous, especially the interstates from Richmond, Va., to Washington and up to Boston? If you went anywhere along that more than 500-mile stretch of highway, you would risk being carjacked or kidnapped or having your car sprayed with gunfire.\n\nWhat if no American had electricity for more than 10 hours a day, and often had to make do with less? What if it went off at unpredictable times, causing factories to halt and air conditioning to fail in the middle of the summer in Houston and Miami?

Lets try.\u00a0 First, we try to generate sine waves with frequencies of 1200 or 2200 Hz. If we could quickly toggle between those two frequencies,\u00a0 it would support generating AFSK.\n\nThe idea is to use a sampling frequency of 16 times the signal frequency and change the sampling frequency to change the signal frequency.\n\nMost microcontrollers have hardware timers that can generate interrupts periodically. ChibiOS/RT offers GPTs (Generic Programable Timers) which abstracts hardware timers and make them easy to use. We set up a timer with a clock frequency of 211.2 KHz which is the least common multiplier of 16\u00d71200 Hz and 16\u00d72200 Hz.\u00a0 When starting the timer with a periodic clock tick, we set a counter that decrements each tick. When it reaches 0, the counter is reset and a handler function is invoked.\u00a0 For 2200 Hz, the counter is 6, for 1200 Hz the counter is 11.\n\nWe try the following handler function to generate a sine wave. The variable phase starts with 0 and for each of the 16 steps we add 2*pi/16. We multiply with 2000 and add 2050 to maximise the use of the 12 bit DAC.\n\nstatic void sinewave() {\n register uint16_t\n amplitude = (uint16_t) (sin(phase) * 2000 + 2050);\n phase += STEP;\n if (phase >= 2 * PI) phase = 0;\n\nWe connect the scope to the DAC output pin on the Teensy 3.1 board and see a sine wave as expected. But wait, there is a glitch there. To see this clearer, we add a digital output and toggle it at the start of the handler function and connect channel B of the scope to this output. Now the sinewave is displayed on top of a square pulse (where each transition represent a call of the function).\n\n\nThere is a delay before the computed amplitude is output on the DAC pin. This is very small when phase = 0, but significant otherwise. It also seems to grow somewhat as phase grows. This indicates that the sin function is computationally intensive. It seems to take up to about 40 microseconds. Not much, but too much when doing this 35200 times per second.\u00a0 It may also delay the next callback from the timer which is problematic.\n\nThe simple solution is of course to precompute the sine wave and put the numbers into a table.

After all, the interest is tax deductible, the rates are usually lower than those on other types of loans, and they're easy to obtain. But there can be a downside, and you should know what it is.\n\nWith a home equity loan or line of credit, you can borrow up to 80% of the equity in your home. For example, if your home is valued at $125,000 and your mortgage balance is $50,000, you could borrow up to $60,000 (80% of your $75,000 equity).\n\nHome equity loans should not be used lightly. Keep in mind that you're putting your home up as collateral on the loan. If you fall behind on the payments, you could lose your home through foreclosure, where the lender takes ownership of the property and sells it in an attempt to recoup the money they lent you.\n\nMany people refinance their mortgage or take out a home equity loan to take advantage of the equity in their home. They then use the money for purchases, vacations, and other expenses, counting on the house appreciating in value to cover these expenditures once they sell. If it doesn't, they owe more than the house is worth and are \"upside down\" on their loan.\n\nBeing \"upside down\" on your loan means that you owe more than your home is worth, and this can easily happen if real estate values fall. If you try to sell your home under these circumstances, you will incur losses that you will have to pay for out of your own pocket when you pay off your mortgage at the time of the sale. This can cause severe financial hardship or can force you to stay in a house you no longer want to live in.\n\nJust because you have equity in your home doesn't mean you can afford the monthly payments of an additional loan. Be sure to do a careful analysis of whether the home equity loan payments fit comfortably into your budget.\n\nHome equity loans are best used for home improvements that will increase the value of your home. Some improvements, such as swimming pools, don't usually increase the value upon resale. Others, such as additional bathrooms, living space, renovated or updated kitchens, etc., generally do increase the value of your home.\n\nThe bottom line is this: if your home is worth more than you owe on it, a home equity loan can be a great way to take advantage of this, but it can also get you into serious financial trouble, and should be used wisely. Why not use the equity in your home as part of your retirement fund instead of spending it on things that may not last?\n\nMore Money Articles\n\n\u00a92014 About.com.

The sound trucks are out in force:\n\nFrom Tokyo Prefectural Assembly Election\n\nHype over the election on the news is almost exclusively focused on whether it will be perceived as an LDP loss. The LDP-Komeito coalition currently controls the assembly in a rough equivalent of the current Lower House situation, so failure for the LDP is defined as whether the DPJ unseats the LDP as the top party. If that happens, LDP members are expected to call for Prime Minister Aso\u2019s head on a platter (and possibly make ex-comedian Miyazaki government Sonomanma Higashi PM install a caretaker PM ahead of the general election that must be held by September. Correction \u2013 Higashikokubaru\u00a0could realistically only become PM after the general election. Apologies for the brain lapse).\n\nEach party has stressed some local issues: The LDP/Komeito emphasize their efforts to help the local economy, while the DPJ tries to inject hot-button issues like the ailing bank Shinginko Tokyo and opposition to plans to move Tsukiji fish market to Toyosu.\n\nFor their part, the Happiness Realization Party (the new political arm of neo-Buddhist religion Happy Science) is playing up the threat of North Korea to scare people into supporting their party\u2019s suggestion that Japan go ahead with a pre-emptive strike.\n\nThese are the issues candidates mention to the national media and in open-air speeches, though the campaign literature barely mentions them. At least in Adachi-ku, on paper every candidate has almost the exact same policy proposals \u2013 more welfare, more infrastructure, more of anything you can spend money on.\n\nIn Adachi-ku, 10 candidates are competing for 6 seats. Today I\u2019d like to briefly introduce the one candidate Mrs. Adamu and I found somewhat reasonable:\n\nSatoru Onishi \u2013 incumbent DPJ member\n\nSatoru Onishi (48) \u2013 A current first-term assemblyman running for re-election, his political experience comes from a turn as the public secretary to DPJ Lower House Member Ritsuo Hosokawa (a former Socialist MP and current Shadow Defense Minister). He left the secretary position in 2001 to mount an ultimately unsuccessful run for the Tokyo assembly but succeeded the next time around in 2005.\n\nPolicy: Onishi predictably advocates generous welfare programs, such as a monthly 26,000 yen handout to families with children and lower classroom sizes, to benefit \u201cyour IMPORTANT children and grandchildren, for the NEXT GENERATION.\u201d\n\nChances of winning: In the 2005 election Onishi came in 4th behind an LDP and two Komeito candidates. This year polling would indicate his party is set to do much better at the expense of the LDP, so it\u2019s a pretty safe bet he will win re-election.\n\nA touch of humanity: As graduate of Ritsumeikan University\u2019s economics faculty, he and I share an alma mater (I was a one-year exchange student).\n\nSince the Tokyo election commission publishes the home addresses of the candidates (PDF \u2013 don\u2019t tell the personal information worry-warts), I was able to locate the apartment complex where Onishi lives. According to Google Maps, he lives right next to the mall where this stupid human trick took place:\n\n12 thoughts on \u201cTokyo assembly election: Meet the candidates \u2013 Satoru Onishi\u201d\n\n 1. I\u2019m not voting for any politician willing to entrust vital escalator-spinning to the private sector.\n\n 2. Is making Higashikokubaru PM actually possible? Do the rules of the LDP or the constitution, etc, require that the PM be a sitting Diet member? Are you actually seriously suggesting this is a possibility.\n\n On a different note, for something as important as the Tokyo elections, why do you only have 10 candidates for 6 seats? All elections in Japan seem to have surprisingly few candidates.\n\n 3. Ken,\n\n Corrected the post. I wrote that without thinking and forgot to go back and correct it. Yes the constitution requires the PM to be a civilian Diet member.\n\n The election is shockingly non-competitive, and in fact it\u2019s the least competitive in recent memory (just 220 candidates for 127 seats, meaning only 93 people can lose). The seats pay VERY well, and in a district like Adachi you only have to come in 6th to have a guaranteed job for 4 years.\n\n The only reason I can see is that the prefectural assembly members have very little role in shaping policy. They can either support or oppose the governor but that seems to be about it. The governor\u2019s office and the national government set the agenda in advance.\n\n 4. VERY well paid? How well paid? Is it full time or part time?\n\n Good post. Regarding the \u201cHappiness Realization Party,\u201d I just got back from a trip through souther Hokkaido, and that party has more posters out than all other political parties combined. The two major platforms stated on their posters are:\n\n \u2013 Reform Article 9. Protect our country from North Korea.\n\n \u2013 Abolish the sales and estate tax. Double your money.\n\n 5. They make about 17 million yen a year, plus perks. Some of the candidates would be taking a pay cut (one DPJ candidate was an executive at a job training company) but most wouldn\u2019t be and don\u2019t seem to have any skills outside politics or bureaucracy.\n\n 6. To duplicate Curzon\u2019s observation from the opposite end of the country \u2013 very, very surprised at how many \u201cHappienss\u201d posters around here.\n\n 7. What happened to the Happy Clappy third plank, 300,000,000 million Japanese by 2030? Are they keeping that one off the posters?\n\n 8. I\u2019ve never noticed any of their posters around here, although they do have a building in town that I\u2019ve passed.\n\n 9. In Tokyo they are out in full force due to the election.\n\n This morning there were about 15 LDP supporters shouting OHAYO GOZAIMASU to people at Ayase station. Cant we just have TV ads and spare commuters the annoyance?\n\n 10. If elected, can they stay employed in other jobs? In the US, being a state senator/assemblyperson is a common \u2018sidejob\u2019 for lawyers, doctors, farmers and business people who are community figures in their own right and get elected because their business or practice permits it. In Japan, can prefecture assembly members do the same?\n\n 11. I think that largely depends on the size of the state. I mean, do NY or CA assembly members really work have main jobs and just do their assembling on the side? Oh wait, both states\u2019 assemblies are completely ineffectual and the NY Senate hasn\u2019t convened properly in like two months now.\n\nComments are closed.<|endoftext|>Clean and jerk: Men are lifting heavy weights over their head several times.

There was also concern about the feasibility of the proposal.\n\nSome industry experts including John Bozzella, President of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, think that meeting the requirements set by the state in time for the deadline will be \"extremely challenging.\" Bozzella also questioned if the requirements are \"realistic\" and are \"directly linked to external factors like inflation, charging and fuel infrastructure,\" among other factors.\n\nIt turned out that Bozzella was on to something when he mentioned charging and fuel infrastructure, because just a week after the 2035 California gas car ban was announced, a heat wave hit the state and resulting in Governor Newsom declaring a state of emergency. The California Independent System Operator (CAISO) also released an advisory asking residents to reduce charging electric vehicles, among other power-saving measures.\n\nGiven the current situation, has to wonder if California's power grid actually handle the influx of additional EVs that will be on the road due to the new regulations?

The sound trucks are out in force:\n\nFrom Tokyo Prefectural Assembly Election\n\nHype over the election on the news is almost exclusively focused on whether it will be perceived as an LDP loss. The LDP-Komeito coalition currently controls the assembly in a rough equivalent of the current Lower House situation, so failure for the LDP is defined as whether the DPJ unseats the LDP as the top party. If that happens, LDP members are expected to call for Prime Minister Aso\u2019s head on a platter (and possibly make ex-comedian Miyazaki government Sonomanma Higashi PM install a caretaker PM ahead of the general election that must be held by September. Correction \u2013 Higashikokubaru\u00a0could realistically only become PM after the general election. Apologies for the brain lapse).\n\nEach party has stressed some local issues: The LDP/Komeito emphasize their efforts to help the local economy, while the DPJ tries to inject hot-button issues like the ailing bank Shinginko Tokyo and opposition to plans to move Tsukiji fish market to Toyosu.\n\nFor their part, the Happiness Realization Party (the new political arm of neo-Buddhist religion Happy Science) is playing up the threat of North Korea to scare people into supporting their party\u2019s suggestion that Japan go ahead with a pre-emptive strike.\n\nThese are the issues candidates mention to the national media and in open-air speeches, though the campaign literature barely mentions them. At least in Adachi-ku, on paper every candidate has almost the exact same policy proposals \u2013 more welfare, more infrastructure, more of anything you can spend money on.\n\nIn Adachi-ku, 10 candidates are competing for 6 seats. Today I\u2019d like to briefly introduce the one candidate Mrs. Adamu and I found somewhat reasonable:\n\nSatoru Onishi \u2013 incumbent DPJ member\n\nSatoru Onishi (48) \u2013 A current first-term assemblyman running for re-election, his political experience comes from a turn as the public secretary to DPJ Lower House Member Ritsuo Hosokawa (a former Socialist MP and current Shadow Defense Minister). He left the secretary position in 2001 to mount an ultimately unsuccessful run for the Tokyo assembly but succeeded the next time around in 2005.\n\nPolicy: Onishi predictably advocates generous welfare programs, such as a monthly 26,000 yen handout to families with children and lower classroom sizes, to benefit \u201cyour IMPORTANT children and grandchildren, for the NEXT GENERATION.\u201d\n\nChances of winning: In the 2005 election Onishi came in 4th behind an LDP and two Komeito candidates. This year polling would indicate his party is set to do much better at the expense of the LDP, so it\u2019s a pretty safe bet he will win re-election.\n\nA touch of humanity: As graduate of Ritsumeikan University\u2019s economics faculty, he and I share an alma mater (I was a one-year exchange student).\n\nSince the Tokyo election commission publishes the home addresses of the candidates (PDF \u2013 don\u2019t tell the personal information worry-warts), I was able to locate the apartment complex where Onishi lives. According to Google Maps, he lives right next to the mall where this stupid human trick took place:\n\n12 thoughts on \u201cTokyo assembly election: Meet the candidates \u2013 Satoru Onishi\u201d\n\n 1. I\u2019m not voting for any politician willing to entrust vital escalator-spinning to the private sector.\n\n 2. Is making Higashikokubaru PM actually possible? Do the rules of the LDP or the constitution, etc, require that the PM be a sitting Diet member? Are you actually seriously suggesting this is a possibility.\n\n On a different note, for something as important as the Tokyo elections, why do you only have 10 candidates for 6 seats? All elections in Japan seem to have surprisingly few candidates.\n\n 3. Ken,\n\n Corrected the post. I wrote that without thinking and forgot to go back and correct it. Yes the constitution requires the PM to be a civilian Diet member.\n\n The election is shockingly non-competitive, and in fact it\u2019s the least competitive in recent memory (just 220 candidates for 127 seats, meaning only 93 people can lose). The seats pay VERY well, and in a district like Adachi you only have to come in 6th to have a guaranteed job for 4 years.\n\n The only reason I can see is that the prefectural assembly members have very little role in shaping policy. They can either support or oppose the governor but that seems to be about it. The governor\u2019s office and the national government set the agenda in advance.\n\n 4. VERY well paid? How well paid? Is it full time or part time?\n\n Good post. Regarding the \u201cHappiness Realization Party,\u201d I just got back from a trip through souther Hokkaido, and that party has more posters out than all other political parties combined. The two major platforms stated on their posters are:\n\n \u2013 Reform Article 9. Protect our country from North Korea.\n\n \u2013 Abolish the sales and estate tax. Double your money.\n\n 5. They make about 17 million yen a year, plus perks. Some of the candidates would be taking a pay cut (one DPJ candidate was an executive at a job training company) but most wouldn\u2019t be and don\u2019t seem to have any skills outside politics or bureaucracy.\n\n 6. To duplicate Curzon\u2019s observation from the opposite end of the country \u2013 very, very surprised at how many \u201cHappienss\u201d posters around here.\n\n 7. What happened to the Happy Clappy third plank, 300,000,000 million Japanese by 2030? Are they keeping that one off the posters?\n\n 8. I\u2019ve never noticed any of their posters around here, although they do have a building in town that I\u2019ve passed.\n\n 9. In Tokyo they are out in full force due to the election.\n\n This morning there were about 15 LDP supporters shouting OHAYO GOZAIMASU to people at Ayase station. Cant we just have TV ads and spare commuters the annoyance?\n\n 10. If elected, can they stay employed in other jobs? In the US, being a state senator/assemblyperson is a common \u2018sidejob\u2019 for lawyers, doctors, farmers and business people who are community figures in their own right and get elected because their business or practice permits it. In Japan, can prefecture assembly members do the same?\n\n 11. I think that largely depends on the size of the state. I mean, do NY or CA assembly members really work have main jobs and just do their assembling on the side? Oh wait, both states\u2019 assemblies are completely ineffectual and the NY Senate hasn\u2019t convened properly in like two months now.\n\nComments are closed.<|endoftext|>MotorTrend Logo\nMotorTrend Brand\n| News\n\nCan California's Grid Keep Up With Its Gas-Car Ban?

In the lower left corner you see the date 01.04.2015, this date code would be read the 1st day of April, 2015, which is the date the motor was packaged.

During a 24 minute long press conference, the FAA granted permission for the motion picture industry to use aerial platforms, such as R/C Helicopters and Multirotors, on closed sets for the purpose of aerial photography. Speaking on behalf of the FAA, Michael Huerta began his statement with the following words. \u201cWe recognize the potential unmanned aircraft bring to business, such as surveying, movie making, farming, monitoring pipelines and electric lines, as well as countless other industries. Our challenge at the FAA is to integrate unmanned aircraft into the busiest, most complex airspace system in the world\u2014and to do so while we maintain our mission\u2014protecting the safety of the American people in the air and on the ground. We are taking a reasonable and responsible approach. We are introducing unmanned aircraft into America\u2019s airspace incrementally and with the interest of safety first.\n\nThis process opens up a whole new avenue for companies and organizations wishing to safely integrate unmanned aircraft into their business. In addition, it\u2019s a major step forward in our plan for safe and staged integration.\u201d\n\nDuring the press conference, the FAA announced that it has granted special exemptions under section 333 of the FAA Modernization and", "base_doc": " You're an excellent resource as usual.\n\nVacuum Queen said...\n\nWhoa!

If you are looking on a website, you cannot go by the serial number shown in the photo, because that could be any motor, and the serial number may have been PhotoShopped onto the photo.\n\nOn the box itself is also a date as shown in the photo below. In the lower left corner you see the date 01.04.2015, this date code would be read the 1st day of April, 2015, which is the date the motor was packaged. Normally this is the same date the motor was made, but it may be a day or two later on a very large production run.\n\n\n\nHow To Clean Your Cobra\u00a0Motor\n\n\n\nIf you have any other questions, please email me.\n\nMultirotors and the\u00a0Law\n\nThere has been a tremendous amount of new developments since the last installment of Multirotor Flight, so it seemed appropriate to go into some of the new rules, regulations, exemptions and landmark decisions that have been made over the past few weeks.\n\nThursday September 25th, 2014 marked the beginning of a new era in aerial cinematography. During a 24 minute long press conference, the FAA granted permission for the motion picture industry to use aerial platforms, such as R/C Helicopters and Multirotors, on closed sets for the purpose of aerial photography. Speaking on behalf of the FAA, Michael Huerta began his statement with the following words. \u201cWe recognize the potential unmanned aircraft bring to business, such as surveying, movie making, farming, monitoring pipelines and electric lines, as well as countless other industries. Our challenge at the FAA is to integrate unmanned aircraft into the busiest, most complex airspace system in the world\u2014and to do so while we maintain our mission\u2014protecting the safety of the American people in the air and on the ground. We are taking a reasonable and responsible approach. We are introducing unmanned aircraft into America\u2019s airspace incrementally and with the interest of safety first.\n\nThis process opens up a whole new avenue for companies and organizations wishing to safely integrate unmanned aircraft into their business. In addition, it\u2019s a major step forward in our plan for safe and staged integration.\u201d\n\nDuring the press conference, the FAA announced that it has granted special exemptions under section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act to 6 companies who have already provided all of the necessary paperwork and have been working on this with the FAA for some time now", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 36122, "pt_loc": 30576256, "pt_shuffle_idx": 143194370, "doc_index_f": 224445179, "doc_index_l": 224445181, "offset_f": 8674, "offset_l": 806, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 27, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [909, 333, 807]} -{"pt_doc": "Sharpening knives: A group of tools and knives are on a table top.

Learn all about what to expect, including how it\u2019s done, what it means for your cat\u2019s health, and the many other benefits associated with Neutering Male Cats.\n\nNeutering Your Male Cat\n\nMost pet owners elect to neuter, or castrate, their male cats. However, many people don\u2019t know all the reasons why neutering is beneficial to their pet. In addition, some owners don\u2019t have a good feel for the actual surgical procedure that will be performed on their cat when it is neutered. There is some confusion over the meaning of the terms \u201ccastration,\u201d \u201cspaying\u201d and \u201cneutering.\u201d Technically, \u201cneutering\u201d is defined as the de-sexing of a male or a female animal, although it is usually used to describe the de-sexing of male animals. \u201cCastration\u201d refers to the removal or destruction of the gonads and is most commonly used to describe removal of a male\u2019s testicles, which is medically referred to as \u201corchiectomy.\u201d \u201cSpaying,\u201d also called ovariohysterectomy, is the surgical removal of the female uterus and ovaries.\n\nBenefits of Neutering Male Cats\n\nMale companion cats are castrated for a number of reasons. Intact male cats tend to get into fights with one another in order to defend their territory and maximize their opportunities to mate with females when they come into heat. Cat fights can lead to serious scratch and bite wounds, which often become infected and turn into nasty pus-filled abscesses. Castration is reportedly about 80 - 90% effective in reducing aggression and preventing fights among male cats. Neutered cats lose their strong territorial instincts, which reduces their marking behavior and makes them more loving, reliable pets. Unneutered cats tend to roam great distances in search of females to breed, returning home only to eat and sleep. Roaming increases a male cat\u2019s chances of being hit by a car or fighting with other animals. Castration greatly reduces a cat\u2019s risk of roaming. Neutering also helps prevent androgen-related diseases, such as perianal adenomas, perineal hernias and prostate cancer.\n\nNeutering has benefits for reasons other than the cat\u2019s health. Intact males mark their territory by spraying their strong-smelling urine on objects such as draperies, furniture, carpeting and walls. Apart from being unsanitary, the urine stains and odor are extremely difficult to remove from a home. Neutering a male cat almost always stops their spraying behavior. Intact males tend to be poor self-groomers, which causes them to develop hair mats and become rather scruffy-looking. On the other hand, neutered males generally pay more attention to their personal hygiene.\n\nNeutering does not make male cats fat and lazy, nor does it change their personalities. Neutered cats don\u2019t hunt or play any less than unneutered cats; they just don\u2019t spray urine in the house or wander off in an endless search for females. Contrary to previously touted theories, castration is no longer thought to be a significant contributing factor in urinary tract problems in male cats, such as Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD). Male feline urinary tract problems seem to be caused by a combination of factors, which are still the subject of intensive medical research.\n\nFinally, there are some very valid environmental and humane reasons for neutering male cats. Tomcats that are allowed to mate at will contribute to the existing and rapidly rising pet over-population situation in North America and elsewhere. Unwanted cats overburden humane societies and animal shelters, which may ultimately need to euthanize those animals if no good homes for them can be found. The actual process of castrating a male cat is fairly simple. There are several different ways to neuter a cat; your veterinarian is the best person to consult about the surgical options.\n\nSource:\u00a0PetWave\n\n\nFoxtail Safety Tips for Cats\n\nFoxtail Safety Tips for Cats: Veterinarian reviewed information that explains Foxtail safety tips for cats....\n\nChristmas Safety Tips for Cats\n\nChristmas Safety Tips for Cats Guide: Veterinarian reviewed information that discusses Christmas Safety Tips for...\n\n\nObesity\u00a0in Cats Guide: All the info you need about obesity, the potential impact it could...\n\nHalloween Safety Tips for Cats\n\n\nThanksgiving Safety Tips for Cats\n\nThanksgiving Safety Tips for Cats Guide: Veterinarian reviewed information that discusses Thanksgiving Safety Tips for...\n\n\nDog Health Dog Health\nLearn about the most common diseases affecting dogs\nPuppy Training Getting a Puppy\nDog Breeds List of Dog Breeds\nComprehensive list of dog breeds with specific breed information\n\nFind a Dog Breed?\n\n\nCaring for your Dog?\n\n\nTraining your Dog?\n\n\nAsk a vet?\n\nHave a question?\nAsk a Vet Online NowSM\n\nAsk a Vet\n\n\nAdvertise on - A Pet360 Media Network Partner\n\n\n\u00a9 2014 PetWave Corporation.

She is worried about the type of boy she can get married to. To be specific, she has asked me whether it is valid to get married to a person who is a strong supporter of the Mawlid or Milad-un-Nabi practice? I do understand that this practice itself is an innovation in Islam. However, the difficulty is whether one can get married to such people who practice Mawlid. In New XXX, the people involved in this practice, do this as an act of worship. People would be invited to attend this ceremony where various hadith are read, songs are sung and dua is made. People actually stand and sing! I hope this is the practice the fatwaa on your site refers to. The question is whether one can marry those who do this practice? The more difficult question and the one I am afraid to ask is whether these people are Muslims? Sheikh, you do not have to answer the second one if it is not wise to?\n\nPraise be to Allaah. \u00a0\n\nWith regard to the Mawlid and whether the one who does that is considered to be a Muslim, you will find a detailed answer in the Seasonal topics section of this website. In brief, those who do this are of many kinds, depending on what they do \u2013 although the Mawlid is in and of itself bid\u2019ah (an innovation). But the ruling on those who do it depends on what actions contrary to sharee\u2019ah they do in this Mawlid. Therefore the matter may extend as far as shirk and going beyond the pale of Islam, if any actions which are known to constitute kufr are committed on this occasion, such as calling upon anyone other than Allaah, or attributing any divine qualities to the Prophet peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) etc. But if it does not go that far, then the one who attends such events is a faasiq (rebellious evildoer) but not a kaafir, and his fisq (rebellion) varies according to the unIslamic or innovated actions he does in the Mawlid.\u00a0\n\nWith regard to the issue of marrying a man who participates in things like the Mawlid, the ruling varies according to the state of the man. If he does things that constitute kufr then it is not permissible to marry him under any circumstances, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):\u00a0\n\n\n[al-Ba", "base_doc": " fuente informativa\n\nUn periodista de El Mundo reconoce ante el juez que pidi\u00f3 dinero en pr\u00e9stamo a los narcos\n\nEl Pa\u00eds : Una juez ordena prisi\u00f3n para un teniente coronel por supuesta corrupci\u00f3n\n\nEl Periodico de Aragon : Un robo de coca en el 2004 destap\u00f3 una trama de corrupci\u00f3n policial.\n\nMore news in the Spanish press here: Wikio\n\n1 comment:\n\n 1.

Learn all about what to expect, including how it\u2019s done, what it means for your cat\u2019s health, and the many other benefits associated with Neutering Male Cats.\n\nNeutering Your Male Cat\n\nMost pet owners elect to neuter, or castrate, their male cats. However, many people don\u2019t know all the reasons why neutering is beneficial to their pet. In addition, some owners don\u2019t have a good feel for the actual surgical procedure that will be performed on their cat when it is neutered. There is some confusion over the meaning of the terms \u201ccastration,\u201d \u201cspaying\u201d and \u201cneutering.\u201d Technically, \u201cneutering\u201d is defined as the de-sexing of a male or a female animal, although it is usually used to describe the de-sexing of male animals. \u201cCastration\u201d refers to the removal or destruction of the gonads and is most commonly used to describe removal of a male\u2019s testicles, which is medically referred to as \u201corchiectomy.\u201d \u201cSpaying,\u201d also called ovariohysterectomy, is the surgical removal of the female uterus and ovaries.\n\nBenefits of Neutering Male Cats\n\nMale companion cats are castrated for a number of reasons. Intact male cats tend to get into fights with one another in order to defend their territory and maximize their opportunities to mate with females when they come into heat. Cat fights can lead to serious scratch and bite wounds, which often become infected and turn into nasty pus-filled abscesses. Castration is reportedly about 80 - 90% effective in reducing aggression and preventing fights among male cats. Neutered cats lose their strong territorial instincts, which reduces their marking behavior and makes them more loving, reliable pets. Unneutered cats tend to roam great distances in search of females to breed, returning home only to eat and sleep. Roaming increases a male cat\u2019s chances of being hit by a car or fighting with other animals. Castration greatly reduces a cat\u2019s risk of roaming. Neutering also helps prevent androgen-related diseases, such as perianal adenomas, perineal hernias and prostate cancer.\n\nNeutering has benefits for reasons other than the cat\u2019s health. Intact males mark their territory by spraying their strong-smelling urine on objects such as draperies, furniture, carpeting and walls. Apart from being unsanitary, the urine stains and odor are extremely difficult to remove from a home. Neutering a male cat almost always stops their spraying behavior. Intact males tend to be poor self-groomers, which causes them to develop hair mats and become rather scruffy-looking. On the other hand, neutered males generally pay more attention to their personal hygiene.\n\nNeutering does not make male cats fat and lazy, nor does it change their personalities. Neutered cats don\u2019t hunt or play any less than unneutered cats; they just don\u2019t spray urine in the house or wander off in an endless search for females.

That is a disastrous feeling which is doing its rounds in the intelligentsia, and must as such be removed.\n\nWhile the state-politics of Karnataka is admittedly nauseating, states like Gujarat have retained the sanctity of state-level politics by giving better governance, better utilization of state funds, encouragement given to investments and business, etc. Gujarat is not just the media babe of India, but a true example of what good leadership and high-calibre politicians can do to the very image of state-politics and federalism itself.\n\n\nUnimportance waters low-calibre\n\nWhy is it that", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 42666, "pt_loc": 198988, "pt_shuffle_idx": 228969492, "doc_index_f": 358915529, "doc_index_l": 358915529, "offset_f": 1937, "offset_l": 3985, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 121, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": "Food and Entertaining: How to become a jag lawyer.

Infinite r.e. sets have always infinite recursive subsets; but on the other hand, simple sets exist but do not have a coinfinite recursive superset. Post (1944) introduced already hypersimple and hyperhypersimple sets; later maximal sets were constructed which are r.e. sets such that every r.e. superset is either a finite variant of the given maximal set or is co-finite (Dell XPS M2010 battery) .\n\nPost's original motivation in the study of this lattice was to find a structural notion such that every set which satisfies this property is neither in the Turing degree of the recursive sets nor in the Turing degree of the halting problem. Post did not find such a property and the solution to his problem applied priority methods instead; Harrington and Soare (1991) found eventually such a property (Dell Vostro 1000 battery) .\n\nAutomorphism problems\n\nAnother important question is the existence of automorphisms in recursion-theoretic structures. One of these structures is that one of recursively enumerable sets under inclusion modulo finite difference; in this structure, A is below B if and only if the set difference B ? A is finite. Maximal sets (as defined in the previous paragraph) have the property that they cannot be automorphic to non-maximal sets, that is, if there is an automorphism of the recursive enumerable sets under the structure just mentioned, then every maximal set is mapped to another maximal set (Acer Aspire One battery) .\n\n\nBesides the lattice of recursively enumerable sets, automorphisms are also studied for the structure of the Turing degrees of all sets as well as for the structure of the Turing degrees of r.e. sets. In both cases, Cooper claims to have constructed nontrivial automorphisms which map some degrees to other degrees; this construction has, however, not been verified and some colleagues believe that the construction contains errors and that the question of whether there is a nontrivial automorphism of the Turing degrees is still one of the main unsolved questions in this area (Slaman and Woodin 1986, Ambos-Spies and Fejer 2006) (Dell Precision M70 Battery) .\n\nKolmogorov complexity\n\nMain article: Kolmogorov complexity\n\n\n\nKolmogorov complexity became not only a subject of independent study but is also applied to other subjects as a tool for obtaining proofs. There are still many open problems in this area.

Such sets are known as (m, n)-recursive sets. The first major result in this branch of Recursion Theory is Trakhtenbrot's result that a set is computable if it is (m, n)-recursive for some m, n with 2m > n (Toshiba Satellite A200 Battery) .\n\nOn the other hand, Jockusch's semirecursive sets (which were already known informally before Jockusch introduced them 1968) are examples of a set which is (m, n)-recursive if and only if 2m < n + 1. There are uncountably many of these sets and also some recursively enumerable but noncomputable sets of this type. Later, Degtev established a hierarchy of recursively enumerable sets that are (1, n + 1)-recursive but not (1, n)-recursive (Toshiba Satellite 1200 Battery) .\n\n\nInductive inference\n\nThis is the recursion-theoretic branch of learning theory. It is based on Gold's model of learning in the limit from 1967 and has developed since then more and more models of learning. The general scenario is the following: Given a class S of computable functions, is there a learner (that is, recursive functional) which outputs for any input of the form (f(0),f(1),...,f(n)) a hypothesis (Dell Latitude XT2 Tablet PC Battery) .\n\nA learner M learns a function f if almost all hypotheses are the same index e of f with respect to a previously agreed on acceptable numbering of all computable functions; M learns S if M learns every f in S. Basic results are that all recursively enumerable classes of functions are learnable while the class REC of all computable functions is not learnable (Toshiba Portege 335CT Battery) .\n\nMany related models have been considered and also the learning of classes of recursively enumerable sets from positive data is a topic studied from Gold's pioneering paper in 1967 onwards.\n\nGeneralizations of Turing computability\n\nRecursion theory includes the study of generalized notions of this field such as arithmetic reducibility, hyperarithmetical reducibility and ?-recursion theory, as described by Sacks (1990) (Dell Vostro A90 Battery) .\n\n\nThese areas are linked to the theories of well-orderings and trees; for example the set of all indices of recursive (nonbinary) trees without infinite branches is complete for level of the analytical hierarchy. Both Turing reducibility and hyperarithmetical reducibility are important in the field of effective descriptive set theory. The even more general notion of degrees of constructibility is studied in set theory (Toshiba Satellite Pro M10 Battery) .\n\nContinuous computability theory\n\n\n[edit]Relationships between definability, proof and computability\n\n\nG\u00f6del's proofs show that the set of logical consequences of an effective first-order theory is a recursively enumerable set, and that if the theory is strong enough this set will be uncomputable. Similarly, Tarski's indefinability theorem can be interpreted both in terms of definability and in terms of computability (Toshiba Satellite 1900 Battery) .\n\nRecursion theory is also linked to second order arithmetic, a formal theory of natural numbers and sets of natural numbers. The fact that certain sets are computable or relatively computable often implies that these sets can be defined in weak subsystems of second order arithmetic. The program of reverse mathematics uses these subsystems to measure the noncomputability inherent in well known mathematical theorems. Simpson (1999) discusses many aspects of second-order arithmetic and reverse mathematics (Toshiba Portege R200 Battery) .\n\nThe field of proof theory includes the study of second-order arithmetic and Peano arithmetic, as well as formal theories of the natural numbers weaker than Peano arithmetic. One method of classifying the strength of these weak systems is by characterizing which computable functions the system can prove to be total (see Fairtlough and Wainer (1998)). For example, in primitive recursive arithmeticany computable function that is provably total is actually primitive recursive, while Peano arithmetic proves that functions like the Ackerman function, which are not primitive recursive, are total (SONY VAIO VGN-FZ21m Battery) .\n\n\nName of the subject\n\nThe field of mathematical logic dealing with computability and its generalizations has been called \"recursion theory\" since its early days. Robert I. Soare, a prominent researcher in the field, has proposed (Soare 1996) that the field should be called \"computability theory\" instead. He argues that Turing's terminology using the word \"computable\" is more natural and more widely understood than the terminology using the word \"recursive\" introduced by Kleene (SONY VAIO VGN-FZ18m Battery) .\n\nMany contemporary researchers have begun to use this alternate terminology. These researchers also use terminology such aspartial computable function and computably enumerable (c.e.) set instead of partial recursive function and recursively enumerable (r.e.) set. Not all researchers have been convinced, however, as explained by Fortnow and Simpson. Some commentators argue that both the names recursion theory and computability theory fail to convey the fact that most of the objects studied in recursion theory are not computable (Dell Vostro A90 Battery) .\n\nRogers (1967) has suggested that a key property of recursion theory is that its results and structures should be invariant under computable bijections on the natural numbers (this suggestion draws on the ideas of the Erlangen program in geometry). The idea is that a computable bijection merely renames numbers in a set, rather than indicating any structure in the set, much as a rotation of the Euclidean plane does not change any geometric aspect of lines drawn on it (Dell Vostro A860 Battery) .\n\nSince any two infinite computable sets are linked by a", "base_doc": " sets can be defined in this structure by the basic result that a set is recursive if and only if the set and its complement are both recursively enumerable.

(AP Photo/Charles Dharapak.)\n\nThis morning, Mother Jones dropped a bombshell of a story revealing Senator Mitch McConnell and his top aides discussing how they planned to use Ashley Judd's mental health and religion to smear her in a political campaign. (Judd, a potential Democratic challenger to McConnell, recently announced she would not run). The Republican Party has reacted with anger, claiming that the story, based on a recording given to reporter David Corn by an anonymous source, is based on \"Watergate-style tactics,\" insinuating that some type of break and entry occurred at McConnell's office.\n\nThe claim appears to be a distraction at this point since there is no evidence that the recording was illicitly obtained. Mother Jones says its lawyers vetted the tape, as the Washington Post's Greg Sargent notes.\n\nWhile I'm certain much of the political press will leap at McConnell's unsubstantiated claims of Watergate tactics, there's another scandal of political espionage and snooping that has not received much attention. And in an ironic twist, it relates to McConnell since the organization at the center of it is one of the senator's closest allies in Washington.\n\nFirst, let's establish what constitutes \"Watergate-style tactics.\" In June of 1972, a group of former CIA officers, working on a plan concocted by Richard Nixon and his closest aides and financed by a secret campaign fund, broke into the offices of the Democratic National Committee\u2014housed temporarily in the Watergate building by the Potomac\u2014to install secret recording devices (bugs) and to steal information from Democratic leadership. The plan was part of Nixon's reelection effort that year. During one of the attempts, a piece of tape left on a door in the DNC office tipped off a security guard to the trespassing Nixon operatives. The political press largely ignored the burglary until two intrepid Washington Post reporters dug deeper into the scandal, which of course led to Nixon's impeachment hearings.\n\nIn the modern age, the same goals of the Watergate break-in can be achieved without physically breaking or entering any actual buildings. Modern hacking technology allows a criminal to send a PDF or another file to their target, and as soon as the file is opened, every e-mail, every keystroke, every document and database on that victim's computer can be", "base_doc": " here concerning these federal grants.\n\n\nSecond,\u00a0.

(AP Photo/Charles Dharapak.)\n\nThis morning, Mother Jones dropped a bombshell of a story revealing Senator Mitch McConnell and his top aides discussing how they planned to use Ashley Judd's mental health and religion to smear her in a political campaign. (Judd, a potential Democratic challenger to McConnell, recently announced she would not run). The Republican Party has reacted with anger, claiming that the story, based on a recording given to reporter David Corn by an anonymous source, is based on \"Watergate-style tactics,\" insinuating that some type of break and entry occurred at McConnell's office.\n\nThe claim appears to be a distraction at this point since there is no evidence that the recording was illicitly obtained. Mother Jones says its lawyers vetted the tape, as the Washington Post's Greg Sargent notes.\n\nWhile I'm certain much of the political press will leap at McConnell's unsubstantiated claims of Watergate tactics, there's another scandal of political espionage and snooping that has not received much attention. And in an ironic twist, it relates to McConnell since the organization at the center of it is one of the senator's closest allies in Washington.\n\nFirst, let's establish what constitutes \"Watergate-style tactics.\" In June of 1972, a group of former CIA officers, working on a plan concocted by Richard Nixon and his closest aides and financed by a secret campaign fund, broke into the offices of the Democratic National Committee\u2014housed temporarily in the Watergate building by the Potomac\u2014to install secret recording devices (bugs) and to steal information from Democratic leadership. The plan was part of Nixon's reelection effort that year. During one of the attempts, a piece of tape left on a door in the DNC office tipped off a security guard to the trespassing Nixon operatives. The political press largely ignored the burglary until two intrepid Washington Post reporters dug deeper into the scandal, which of course led to Nixon's impeachment hearings.\n\nIn the modern age, the same goals of the Watergate break-in can be achieved without physically breaking or entering any actual buildings. Modern hacking technology allows a criminal to send a PDF or another file to their target, and as soon as the file is opened, every e-mail, every keystroke, every document and database on that victim's computer can be accessed remotely by the criminal. Such technology has been used by the American government to go after al Qaeda and other terrorist threats. But recent evidence shows that the Chinese government and even American interests appear willing to use this form of hacking against political targets here in the United States.\n\nIn the Fall of 2010, attorneys for the US Chamber of Commerce, the largest big business lobbying organization in the country (and not be confused with local", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 45938, "pt_loc": 23169416, "pt_shuffle_idx": 80702374, "doc_index_f": 126508055, "doc_index_l": 126508059, "offset_f": 152, "offset_l": 590, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 5, "pt_injection_len": 91, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [274, 408, 134, 642, 591]} -{"pt_doc": "Personal Care and Style: How to buy a badge making machine.

We are trying to form a coalition of Third World universities so that we can figure out how we create a career path for people that are con\u00adcerned with this eclectic science of connecting law to local customs, which we think is the missing link to make markets work and to make a Western-type order available to all countries.

What happens is that it's more difficult than we thought. It's a very sophisti\u00adcated process. It has to be documented. It has to be taught.

HOLMES: Thank you very much, Hernan\u00addo. That was absolutely brilliant. Very often in the policy think tank world, we find ourselves repeat\u00ading things over and over again, and sometimes things start sounding like clich\u00e9s; but you have broken through the clich\u00e9s this morning, and we greatly appreciate you coming here.

In some of these projects, have you been able to bring in computers or the Internet to help docu\u00adment things for people?\n\nMR. DE SOTO: Yes, we have. Obviously, com\u00adputers are extremely useful, and some of the people that we have talked to in the West have talked about how to simplify them, adapt them to local circum\u00adstances. The important thing to keep in mind is the limitation of computers, because what computers do is collect and process information, but where did you get, for example, all your property and business information in the United States? First of all, you wrote it down, and then you scanned it.\n\nIn other words, first you've got to paperize the country. When you paperize the country, then you can digitalize the country. So what we do is not substitute computers, but we try and prepare it in such a way so that the documents that are found on the ground can then be computerized. Part of the activity that we have is trying to get very complex information created by the notarial system, for example, of Latin America and boil it down to very simple form documents that can then be scanned and adapted to computers.\n\nStephen Johnson: Steve Johnson, The Heritage Foundation. I would like to congratulate you on your new position with the Peruvian gov\u00adernment, helping to promote the U.S.-Peru Free Trade Agreement. I would like to know what you think the prospects are and if some of the process of education that you talked about is going to come into play in helping to educate both Peruvian and the U.S. publics.\n\nMr. De Soto: I don't have a diplomatic pass\u00adport, and I'm not in the hierarchy, but I'm something that is probably just as good: I'm the personal repre\u00adsentative of a president that is essentially a Social Democrat, Alan Garcia. He only got anointed presi\u00addent on the 28th of July. He was running against a Hugo Chavez ally in our country who nearly won the elections. Garcia won by a hair's breadth.\n\nOne of the big issues during the elections there-like the elections in Mexico, like the upcoming elections in Ecuador, like the elections coming up in Nicaragua, like the elections that already took place in Bolivia-has been the issue of trade agreements. Many of these new leaders that are coming up in Latin America are saying this is the market; this is trade agreements. It doesn't suit our culture; it doesn't suit our place. You know the Western system and globalization is the road to go, but what do you do when you're a politician and you find out that the majority of your nation doesn't react to globalization because they don't have the tools with which to access it? Yes, they've got the companies, but companies without limited liability, companies without separate identities from the family, companies that don't allow them to even cross the U.S. border.\n\nSo what we have done with the president is talk about doing two things together. One is the free trade agreement with the United States, because it's the symbol of whether you're going to go the pop\u00adulist road in Latin America or you're going to take the globalization road, and we decided to take that one. But we have coupled to it what we call the \"internal free trade agreement,\" which is how do we Peruvians make sure that our people internally can trade, because only when they can trade and have identities that allow them to do business inside the country will they be able to benefit from free trade outside Peru. The result is a treaty that today has a whopping 70 to 80 percent support in Peru because we've connected the globalization agenda with the social agenda.\n\nWhat I'm trying to do with my colleagues and compatriots now that we've come to Washington is to say this agreement that's up for approval with your Congress is not only about free trade. We are trying to set up a different model for Latin America. That model is essentially a political one because we are pro-market; but we have recognized that if the mar\u00adket doesn't fully work in our countries, it's not because of things that are missing in our treaty. It's not because of things that haven't been put into the World Trade Organization or the rules for trading worldwide or international transactions. It's because we haven't done the home agenda, the one we're talking about here. We're going to do it.\n\nWe're also heading towards a period of elections in Peru. In November this year, we're going to have local elections, and the model we're putting up is going to be voted upon. So what we're trying to get through to your Congress is that we're not just talk\u00ading about free trade agreements now, whether it's good or bad. We're talking about a model that's going to take hold or not take hold in your Southern Hemisphere.\n\nWe are your political allies. We dealt with terror\u00adism, with the Shining Path, from 1980 to 1992, and we dealt with them very effectively not only through military means, but also through political means. We discredited them to the point that they couldn't even be elected dogcatcher in Peru today.

Walk more\n\nIf you rarely walk to shop, school, workplace, or any places, start walking now! You can map a circle around your house and point necessary places nearest to you that you can achieve by walking. Walking is better for your mind, your body, and your planet.\n\n2. Bike more\n\nAccording to a 2015 study by UC Davis, 50% of global urban transportation carbon emissions could be reduced by 2050, by cutting car use and shifting more trips to bicycling. Did you know that the U.S. could reduce enough of its emissions to meet the Paris goals if they shift from car to bike just a few trips per week?\n\nIf your city has a bike-sharing system, support it! You may become a member if it\u2019s available to keep the system on.\n\n3. Try e-bike\n\nElectric bikes are 10 to 20 times more energy-efficient than a car, according to research. It\u2019s a less stressful commute and sweat-free. Try commuting with an e-bike now!\n\n4. Use public transport\n\nUsing public transport like buses and trains is better than using our owned private vehicle. Use public transport to get to work and leisure activities. By using public transportation, you help reduce gridlock and carbon emissions.\n\n5. Carpool\n\nIn 2014, over 76% of U.S. commuters drove alone to work, most often in their owned vehicle. Carpooling is the sharing of car journeys so that more than one person travels in a car, and prevents the need for others to have to drive to a location themselves.\n\nCarpool to get to work, or events that your friends are also attending. Carpools save your gas money and reduce your carbon footprint.\n\n6. Use car-sharing service\n\nConsider ride-sharing instead of vehicle ownership. A car-sharing service gives you the convenience of having a car without owning it. Users can pay by the minute, hour, or day to drive cars when they need them.\n\nAccording to a study, access to shared cars can have a ripple effect of reducing gas use and especially carbon emissions. If you\u2019ve already own a car, you can lend your car or borrow it from your friends or neighbor.\n\n7. Downsize your flight class\n\nDownsizing from first class to business class or even coach (economy) cuts down your carbon usage. First-class seats, leave carbon emissions up to nine times larger than their economy counterparts, according to a 2009 study by the World Bank.\n\n8. Telecommuting and teleconferencing for work\n\nTelecommuting means working remotely, working from home, or working somewhere other than in an office. According to the Telework Research Network report, 45% of the U.S. workforces jobs are suitable for part-time or full-time telecommuting. And instead of traveling by car or plane for work or business meeting, use teleconferencing.\n\nThere are around 2.9 million of U.S. telecommuters. Annually, they save 390 million gallons of gas and prevent the release of 3.6 million of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Also, a worker\u2019s productivity is much higher when working from the comfort of home.\n\n9. Calculate your carbon footprint\n\nCalculate your carbon footprint to know how much transportation sector contributes to your overall carbon footprint. The average American\u2019s annual carbon footprint is 19 metric tons. There are many carbon footprint calculator online that you can use like this.\n\nThe way we check and maintain\n\n10. Maintain your vehicle\n\nMaintain your car or motorcycle with regular tune-ups. Maintain your bike gear and else.\n\n11. Don\u2019t idle if you stop for a long time\n\nTurn off your engine if you stop for more than 10 seconds (unless in traffic). Idling is bad for your car cause it uses fuel and for the environment cause it contributes to air pollution.\n\n12. Inflate your vehicle tires properly\n\nMake sure your tires are inflated properly. According to the U.S. Department of Energy report, under-inflated tires hurt the fuel economy. By keeping your tires properly inflated to the standard pressure, your gas mileage can be improved by 0.6% and up to 3% on average. Better gas mileage means a reduced carbon emissions.\n\n13. Check your vehicle gas cap\n\nMake sure your gas cap is not loose, cracked, or damaged. Turn gas cap until it clicks a few times. If it\u2019s broken, your gas may be escaping from your tank as vapor. And that makes you waste your fuel. If your gas cap has logged more than 50,000 miles, replace it.\n\n14. Wash your car in a self-serve car wash\n\nWashing your car at home is worse for the environment. It because if you are washing it in the driveway, it can cause polluted water to run into sewers. Then you\u2019ll likely keeping the hose running too long. And depends on how you wash your car, you might use up to 100 gallons of water at home.\n\nWash your car at a self-serve station that uses a coin-operated spray device. These stations use around 12 to 18 gallons of water per vehicle.\n\nThe way we reduce\n\n15. Drive less\n\nCar is the fastest-growing contributor to U.S. greenhouse gases. Save your car for special occasions or emergencies.\n\n16. Fly less\n\nThe aviation industry is responsible for 2% of global emissions. In 2017, approximately 4 billion passengers got on planes.\n\nFlying has the biggest climate impact per passenger per kilometer than any other means of transportation. One round-trip flight from New York to San Francisco accounts for 2 metric tons of carbon dioxide. For frequent-flyers, air travel takes a significant portion of their impact on climate change.\n\nUntil now, there is still no greener alternative to planes fuel but researches are still ongoing. To be noted that giving up flying altogether would be better.\n\n17. Reduce your traveling use of car or plane\n\nReduce traveling by car or plane for work. Use teleconferencing for work instead. Reduce your traveling for vacation distance. Take local holidays instead.\n\nThe way we buy and replace\n\n18. Buy a smaller or more efficient; hybrid or electric vehicle\n\nIf you need to buy a car, the smaller and more efficient the better. Or buy a hybrid or electric one. To be noted that buying fewer things and drive less in any kind of vehicle would be better.\n\n19. Replace your car to an electric\n\nPeak car defines as the point where car ownership has peaked and will starts to drop. The world may have passed \u201cpeak car,\u201d according to the analysts. In the U.S., peak car could happen as soon as 2020.\n\nBy switching to an EV, it will save your money in the long run and of course, reduce your carbon emissions. It also means you\u2019re investing in the future of a clean grid.\n\n20. Buy carbon offsets if you fly\n\nBuying offsets means that you support emission reduction projects.\nIt balance your carbon footprint. It\u2019s offered by many carriers and experts say that it\u2019s a valid way to even out. Even though there\u2019s been debate over the effectiveness whether it\u2019s effective or not effective.\n\nThink of your carbon footprint as your cholesterol level. If your cholesterol level (carbon footprint) is high, you want it low.

Be honest about a parent who has never been involved. If your child has never met the other parent or if the parent has been absent for a long time, be prepared for lots of questions. Your child will likely want to know who the parent is, where he is, and why he is not involved. Questions about an absent parent will most likely begin when your child starts school and begins learning more about classmates' families. Answer basic questions about who the absent parent is, and consider sharing a photograph if you have one.<|endoftext|>", "base_doc": " from tourism activity, according to a study. Even that\u2019s not a very significant number compared to other sources of global greenhouse emissions, right? And right now all around the world, tourism is at an all-time high.\n\nThese are things in the traveling and transportation sector that we can do together to act on climate change. To lessen the negative impact of climate change and eventually preserving our and other beings way of life by changing it for the better, we should change the way we travel.\n\nThe way we use and do\n\n1. Walk more\n\nIf you rarely walk to shop, school, workplace, or any places, start walking now! You can map a circle around your house and point necessary places nearest to you that you can achieve by walking. Walking is better for your mind, your body, and your planet.\n\n2. Bike more\n\nAccording to a 2015 study by UC Davis, 50% of global urban transportation carbon emissions could be reduced by 2050, by cutting car use and shifting more trips to bicycling. Did you know that the U.S. could reduce enough of its emissions to meet the Paris goals if they shift from car to bike just a few trips per week?\n\nIf your city has a bike-sharing system, support it! You may become a member if it\u2019s available to keep the system on.\n\n3. Try e-bike\n\nElectric bikes are 10 to 20 times more energy-efficient than a car, according to research. It\u2019s a less stressful commute and sweat-free. Try commuting with an e-bike now!\n\n4. Use public transport\n\nUsing public transport like buses and trains is better than using our owned private vehicle. Use public transport to get to work and leisure activities. By using public transportation, you help reduce gridlock and carbon emissions.\n\n5. Carpool\n\nIn 2014, over 76% of U.S. commuters drove alone to work, most often in their owned vehicle. Carpooling is the sharing of car journeys so that more than one person travels in a car, and prevents the need for others to have to drive to a location themselves.\n\nCarpool to get to work, or events that your friends are also attending. Carpools save your gas money and reduce your carbon footprint.\n\n6. Use car-sharing service\n\nConsider ride-sharing instead of vehicle ownership. A car-sharing service gives you the convenience of having a car without owning it. Users can pay by the minute, hour, or day to drive cars when they need them.\n\nAccording to a study, access to shared cars can have a ripple effect of reducing gas use and especially carbon emissions. If you\u2019ve already own a car, you can lend your car or borrow it from your friends or neighbor.\n\n7. Downsize your flight class\n\nDownsizing from first class to business class or even coach (economy) cuts down your carbon usage. First-class seats, leave carbon emissions up to nine times larger than their economy counterparts, according to a 2009 study by the World Bank.\n\n8. Telecommuting and teleconferencing for work\n\nTelecommuting means working remotely, working from home, or working somewhere other than in an office. According to the Telework Research Network report, 45% of the U.S. workforces jobs are suitable for part-time or full-time telecommuting. And instead of traveling by car or plane for work or business meeting, use teleconferencing.\n\nThere are around 2.9 million of U.S. telecommuters. Annually, they save 390 million gallons of gas and prevent the release of 3.6 million of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Also, a worker\u2019s productivity is much higher when working from the comfort of home.\n\n9. Calculate your carbon footprint\n\nCalculate your carbon footprint to know how much transportation sector contributes to your overall carbon footprint. The average American\u2019s annual carbon footprint is 19 metric tons. There are many carbon footprint calculator online that you can use like this.\n\nThe way we check and maintain\n\n10. Maintain your vehicle\n\nMaintain your car or motorcycle with regular tune-ups. Maintain your bike gear and else.\n\n11. Don\u2019t idle if you stop for a long time\n\nTurn off your engine if you stop for more than 10 seconds (unless in traffic). Idling is bad for your car cause it uses fuel and for the environment cause it contributes to air pollution.\n\n12. Inflate your vehicle tires properly\n\nMake sure your tires are inflated properly. According to the U.S. Department of Energy report, under-inflated tires hurt the fuel economy. By keeping your tires properly inflated to the standard pressure, your gas mileage can be improved by 0.6% and up to 3% on average. Better gas mileage means a reduced carbon emissions.\n\n13. Check your vehicle gas cap\n\nMake sure your gas cap is not loose, cracked, or damaged. Turn gas cap until it clicks a few times. If it\u2019s broken, your gas may be escaping from your tank as vapor. And that makes you waste your fuel. If your gas cap has logged more than 50,000 miles, replace it.\n\n14. Wash your car in a self-serve car wash\n\nWashing your car at home is worse for the environment. It because if you are washing it in the driveway, it can cause polluted water to run into sewers. Then you\u2019ll likely keeping the hose running too long. And depends on how you wash your car, you might use up to 100 gallons of water at home.\n\nWash your car at a self-serve station that uses a coin-operated spray device. These stations use around 12 to 18 gallons of water per vehicle.\n\nThe way we reduce\n\n15. Drive less\n\nCar is the fastest-growing contributor to U.S. greenhouse gases. Save your car for special occasions or emergencies.\n\n16. Fly less\n\nThe aviation industry is responsible for 2% of global emissions. In 2017, approximately 4 billion passengers got on planes.\n\nFlying has the biggest climate impact per passenger per kilometer than any other means of transportation. One round-trip flight from New York to San Francisco accounts for 2 metric tons of carbon dioxide. For frequent-flyers, air travel takes a significant portion of their impact on climate change.\n\nUntil now, there is still no greener alternative to planes fuel but researches are still ongoing. To be noted that giving up flying altogether would be better.\n\n17. Reduce your traveling use of car or plane\n\nReduce traveling by car or plane for work. Use teleconferencing for work instead. Reduce your traveling for vacation distance. Take local holidays instead.\n\nThe way we buy and replace\n\n18. Buy a smaller or more efficient; hybrid or electric vehicle\n\nIf you need to buy a car, the smaller and more efficient the better. Or buy a hybrid or electric one. To be noted that buying fewer things and drive less in any kind of vehicle would be better.\n\n19. Replace your car to an electric\n\nPeak car defines as the point where car ownership has peaked and will starts to drop. The world may have passed \u201cpeak car,\u201d according to the analysts. In the U.S., peak car could happen as soon as 2020.\n\nBy switching to an EV, it will save your money in the long run and of course, reduce your carbon emissions. It also means you\u2019re investing in the future of a clean grid.\n\n20. Buy carbon offsets if you fly\n\nBuying offsets means that you support emission reduction projects.\nIt balance your carbon footprint. It\u2019s offered by many carriers and experts say that it\u2019s a valid way to even out. Even though there\u2019s been debate over the effectiveness whether it\u2019s effective or not effective.\n\nThink of your carbon footprint as your cholesterol level. If your cholesterol level (carbon footprint) is high, you want it low. You might lower it by changing your lifestyle: eat healthier, avoid some foods, exercise more (eat plant-based foods, avoid meat consumption, drive less). And if it\u2019s not enough, you might need to take medicine (buying carbon offsets) to help control your high cholesterol level.\n\nTo be noted that fly less, or giving up flying altogether would be better. Paying to plant a tree doesn\u2019t make your flight\u2019s carbon emissions just disappear.\n\n\u2022 Australian Psychological Society. \u201c101 Things You Can Do To Help Address Climate Change.\u201d\n\u2022 Simpson, K. 2019. \u201c50 Things You Can Do About Climate Change.\u201d The Green Hub.

It has exposed enormous flaws in the screening process for airline passengers, that someone on a \"watch\" list gets no particular attention, not too surprising in Nigeria, but appalling in Amsterdam. More disconcertingly it has given the aviation security goons an excuse to persecute all airline passengers flying to the US with such absurdities as:\n\n- Prohibiting people from moving in the cabin in the last hour of flight, when the 9/11 terrorists made their move in the beginning of the flight (next the security goons will be demanding passengers be strapped in seats with \"bed pans\" to urinate in);\n- Banning the use of laptops and portable audio equipment on flights, effectively making business flights largely unproductive and boosting book sales at airports;\n- Requiring some airline in flight entertainment systems to be shut down early, contrasting to Air NZ's successful and popular \"gate to gate\" continuous running of the systems.\n\nChristopher Hitchens in Slate says:\n\n\nWe have already had to put up with the absurdity of being unable to take bottled drinks through airline security, but we can buy the same ones \"airside\" which means being price gouged at many airports (thankfully not Heathrow which has enough competing shops to make this no problem). Replacement of stainless steel cutlery with plastic was one of the most stupid, as anyone who got a glass of champagne could well figure out how a weapon could be created.\n\nNew Zealand of course coped for decades without any domestic security screening, until 9/11, and security goons were \"shocked\" at the knives and various objects people used to take on flights from Auckland to Christchurch. The unspoken truth is that the people who did this had no intention of using them against their fellow citizens anymore than they do on trains, buses, in shopping centres or walking the streets. It's a blessing that the Government ignored some calls for security screening for domestic flights using aircraft of less than 90 seats.\n\nThe case of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab wont see anyone fired from their jobs in Nigeria, Schiphol Airport or elsewhere in the security sector. There isn't accountability for failures, just as there isn't for the stupidity of the measures imposed on everyone else.\n\nIt should have been obvious to connect the likes of Abdulmutallab to needing additional screening, he was, after all, already on a list. However, that incompetence is now shrouded by adding hours of delays to travellers, hours of inconvenience and discomfort because some control freak has decided to make people \"feel safe\".\n\nWhat the security goons and the politicians wont point out is that the risks of attacks remains constant, and ever present. In London, there is little difference today compared with 2004 in terms of the ease of being able to launch an attack on the underground or on a bus.

The IRA didn't waste energy on transport networks, but waged much fear and death by using bombs on cars and vans, or in public areas.\n\nSo the message is, you can't be wholly safe anywhere. Islamist thugs will seek to attack as they see fit, when and wherever they wish. Some on the left wish to minimise this, and it should not be exagerrated, but it is real, it will exist for many years to come. Even lasting success in Iraq, Afghanistan and Israel will only reduce, not eliminate the risk.\n\nIt is reasonable to take steps with aviation to stop people taking on board weapons, to screen for explosives and to use intelligence to stop those who there is good reason for suspicion, but someone needs to be responsible for the abject failings in this case and there should NOT be ridiculous kneejerk reactions just to be seen to be \"doing something\".\n\nIt's about time politicians and the public said no to being literally bent over and buggered by the incompetent and the inane.

Hence, my question: Is it possible to wrap the quesadillas in foil and cook them on the engine on the way to his school? If so, how many could I cook this way?

While some are asking the obvious question of \u2013 What Would You Do If Invited? I think we must rise beyond that level and call a spade a spade.\n\nIt is germane to note that though the Nigerian youth is suspect when it comes to matters of money, we still have many with great levels of integrity and ideology. I know at least one Nigerian youth that was invited but turned it down as a matter of principle. I also know one that went and spoke his mind. But can we say the same of every other young people that enjoyed the banquet? I guess no.\n\nI am not attacking those who went for the lunch and stood their grounds by not soiling their hands with the Greek gift. I am pointing out the harm done by those who attended and collected \u2018transport fare\u2019\n\nBelow are the lessons I think the Nigerian \u2018Yoot\u2019 must take from the charade that the lunch turned to:\n\n1. There is no free lunch even in Freetown: When you get an invitation such as that, the first step is to analyze the impact on you and your stand. If you are one of those without a stand as long as money is involved and maybe recognition, go ahead without thinking. There is always a price to pay for everything we do in this life.\n\n2. You might have justified the Legislooter\u2019s fat sitting allowances: Youth from Lagos were paid 50 Thousand each while out of state attendees got 150 thousand naira each. This is disgusting and a huge blight on everyone who collected the money. Why must everything be soiled with the Ghana must go bag syndrome. If you don\u2019t know, you have no moral justification to blame our \u2018sinnators\u2019 and \u2018irrepresentatives\u2019 in the National Assembly. You got 150K for eating with Jonathan, they should collect much more for being exposed to chair throwing and other forms of violence.\n\n3. D\u2019Banj is a saint: If you were there only to offer concrete ways of moving Nigerian forward, I would understand but you are even worse than D\u2019Banj if you collected the money. D\u2019Banj endorsed GEJ openly, you didn\u2019t. So what have you been paid for? Your share of the national cake? I believe some attendees turned down the so called transport allowance, and I salute them.\n\n4. GEJ can now spend 5Billion on his Inauguration: There is a popular peom \u2013 How much land does a man need?\nI am asking you, how much is a taxi ride from one end of Lagos to another? 50 Thousand Naira? How much is an air ticket from Rivers to Borno? 150K. You have now endorsed the normal Nigerian politician system of inflating figures. Let\u2019s say you are jobless and you couldn\u2019t afford transport to the lunch, must the amount be inflated. So, you must never blame GEJ and others when they inflate contracts.\n\n5. The so called progressive youth might just be a mirage: It is interesting to see how the ruling class have successfully demistified the so called Twitter generation. Blowers of hot air on social media and chickens when the time comes to make a stand. We might have proved to the whole world that we are just the same and only waiting for an opportunity to start \u2018chopping\u2019 when we get there.\n\nI sincerely hope the twitter generation will be able to rise above this mess.\n\nOne thought on \u201cMuch A Do About a Presidential Youth Lunch/Parley\u201d\n\nLeave a Reply\n\nYour email address will not be published.<|endoftext|>Personal Care and Style: How to make loom bracelets.

If you are one of those without a stand as long as money is involved and maybe recognition, go ahead without thinking. There is always a price to pay for everything we do in this life.\n\n2. You might have justified the Legislooter\u2019s fat sitting allowances: Youth from Lagos were paid 50 Thousand each while out of state attendees got 150 thousand naira each. This is disgusting and a huge blight on everyone who collected the money. Why must everything be soiled with the Ghana must go bag syndrome. If you don\u2019t know, you have no moral justification to blame our \u2018sinnators\u2019 and \u2018irrepresentatives\u2019 in the National Assembly. You got 150K for eating with Jonathan, they should collect much more for being exposed to chair throwing and other forms of violence.\n\n3. D\u2019Banj is a saint: If you were there only to offer concrete ways of moving Nigerian forward, I would understand but you are even worse than D\u2019Banj if you collected the money. D\u2019Banj endorsed GEJ openly, you didn\u2019t. So what have you been paid for? Your share of the national cake? I believe some attendees turned down the so called transport allowance, and I salute them.\n\n4. GEJ can now spend 5Billion on his Inauguration: There is a popular peom \u2013 How much land does a man need?\nI am asking you, how much is a taxi ride from one end of Lagos to another? 50 Thousand Naira? How much is an air ticket from Rivers to Borno? 150K. You have now endorsed the normal Nigerian politician system of inflating figures. Let\u2019s say you are jobless and you couldn\u2019t afford transport to the lunch, must the amount be inflated. So, you must never blame GEJ and others when they inflate contracts.\n\n5. The so called progressive youth might just be a mirage: It is interesting to see how the ruling class have successfully demistified the so called Twitter generation. Blowers of hot air on social media and chickens when the time comes to make a stand. We might have proved to the whole world that we are just the same and only waiting for an opportunity to start \u2018chopping\u2019 when we get there.\n\nI sincerely hope the twitter generation will be able to rise above this mess.\n\nOne thought on \u201cMuch A Do About a Presidential Youth Lunch/Parley\u201d\n\nLeave a Reply\n\nYour email address will not be published.<|endoftext|>Oh, Dioner Navarro.

There was an initial problem before this was put into place, that the system would get an air bubble in the pump lines somewhere and no water would come out or only a small amount.

Packed with protein and carbohydrates, breast milk also contains a lot of sugar -- so it tastes extremely sweet. Some theories say humans are born with a sweet tooth.\n\nLater, as young children, many of us get rewarded for good behavior (or bribed) with sweets and treats. This establishes an emotional connection between sweets, comfort and praise. To make matters worse, sugar acts like an endorphin to the brain, raising serotonin, creating pleasurable feelings and feeding an addiction.\n\nUnfortunately, by the time we become teenagers and young adults, most of us are eating A LOT of sugar (table sugar and corn sweeteners). In fact, the average American consumed 93 pounds of added sweetener in the year 2000! This breaks out to be 32 teaspoons per day, far exceeding the USDA's recommendation of 10 teaspoons (which, by the way, is the amount contained in a single, 12 ounce soda). No wonder 68% of Americans are overweight or obese and weight and diet-related illnesses like diabetes, high cholesterol, high triglycerides and heart disease are becoming much more common.\n\nThink you're doing better than average because you don't eat a lot of fast food, junk food, candies, and desserts or drink a lot of sodas (soft drinks account for 40% of US sugar consumption)? It may come as a surprise but sugar is commonly added to many of foods we might consider to be \"wholesome\", such as pizza, bread, canned vegetables and fruits, dried fruits, lunch meats, soups, salad dressing, fruit juices, ketchup, yogurt and iced tea.\n\nSHOP Low Prices on Amazon's Top\u00a0100* Best\u00a0Selling Stevia Natural Sweeteners\n+ Free Shipping & Returns on Eligible Items.\n(*Amazon's Top\u00a0100 list\u00a0updated\u00a0hourly.)\n\nA link between our emotions and a craving for sugar\n\n \u2022 75% of overeating (consuming more calories than our body needs) is caused by our emotions, social events and stress. Because food can have a calming, comforting or stimulating effect, many of us eat to feed our feelings rather than physical hunger! Unfortunately, emotional eating can result in obesity and other diseases, fatigue and feelings of guilt and shame.\n \u2022 Chronic stress can trigger an increase in production of the hormone, cortisol. This not only triggers our appetite but it makes us crave foods that are high in carbohydrates. And the more \"simple carbs\" we eat, the higher our blood sugar levels -- which increases insulin production. Increased insulin levels send a signal to the body to store fat -- especially in the abdominal region which is the least healthy place to for us accumulate excess it.\n \u2022 When we are exhausted from a lack of sleep, we not only have less energy and our appetite-suppression and weight-management hormones become disrupted, but we're also less capable of managing stress and our emotions.\n\nWhat can we do to reduce our craving for sugar?\n\n \u2022 When you are feeling overwhelmed, bored, or just get the urge to eat something sweet, raise your serotonin level by exercising. Take a walk, ride a bike, or head to the gym to replace the sugar endorphins. If exercise isn't possible, doing something else to turn your attention away from eating. (Make a list of things you can do to refocus your attention.)\n \u2022 Reach for water rather than food. Drinking half your bodyweight in ounces of water each day will reduce your appetite and flush your body of unwanted toxins. (For instance, if you weigh 150 pounds, drink 75 ounces or 8 glasses of water daily.) Carrying a bottle of water with you with a measure can help you keep track your progress.\n \u2022 Reach for fresh fruits, all-natural fruit desserts, popcorn or other snacks that provide you with nutrition and fiber. Many people find high-protein snacks like plain yogurt, cheese or nuts to be most satisfying.\n \u2022 When you DO eat sweets or snacks, eat them in moderation -- that is, in small quantities and on occasion rather than daily.

Increased insulin levels send a signal to the body to store fat -- especially in the abdominal region which is the least healthy place to for us accumulate excess it.\n \u2022 When we are exhausted from a lack of sleep, we not only have less energy and our appetite-suppression and weight-management hormones become disrupted, but we're also less capable of managing stress and our emotions.\n\nWhat can we do to reduce our craving for sugar?\n\n \u2022 When you are feeling overwhelmed, bored, or just get the urge to eat something sweet, raise your serotonin level by exercising. Take a walk, ride a bike, or head to the gym to replace the sugar endorphins. If exercise isn't possible, doing something else to turn your attention away from eating. (Make a list of things you can do to refocus your attention.)\n \u2022 Reach for water rather than food. Drinking half your bodyweight in ounces of water each day will reduce your appetite and flush your body of unwanted toxins. (For instance, if you weigh 150 pounds, drink 75 ounces or 8 glasses of water daily.) Carrying a bottle of water with you with a measure can help you keep track your progress.\n \u2022 Reach for fresh fruits, all-natural fruit desserts, popcorn or other snacks that provide you with nutrition and fiber. Many people find high-protein snacks like plain yogurt, cheese or nuts to be most satisfying.\n \u2022 When you DO eat sweets or snacks, eat them in moderation -- that is, in small quantities and on occasion rather than daily. It is not the eating of sugars as a whole that are unhealthy. It is the quantities consumed.\n \u2022 Rather than just automatically reaching for food when you have a craving, be mindful of what you are eating and how you are feeling.

The T cells are a family of immune system cells that keep people healthy by identifying and launching attacks against threats such as bacteria, viruses or cancer. Anti-tumor T cells can both stop or slow down tumor growth on the one hand, but also cause changes in the tumor cells that could lead to tumor relapse on the other hand. \u201cThe ultimate goal of immunotherapy is to overcome tumor-induced immune suppression and at the same time induce tumor rejection without facilitating tumor escape and relapse,\u201d says Manjili.\n\nThrough lab studies led by Manjili, Massey researchers effectively reprogrammed cells of the innate and adaptive immune systems to overcome a key cancer defense mechanism and develop long-lasting memory to reject breast cancer cells, guarding against tumor relapse. In a study published in the Journal of Immunology, the researchers discovered a way to improve Adoptive Cellular Therapy (ACT), a treatment for breast cancer that taps into the immune system, by activating certain cells which enhance T cells capability to fight blood-forming cells.\n\nThese findings could lead to clinical trials that test whether using immunotherapy in a neoadjuvant (prior to surgery) or adjuvant (after surgery) setting in breast cancer patients with a high risk of relapse could prime the patient\u2019s immune system, much like a vaccine, to prevent the likelihood of relapse.\n\nUnlocking new treatments for blood cancers\n\nTranslating Manjili\u2019s research into clinical application is Amir Toor, M.D., hematologist-oncologist in the Bone Marrow Transplant Program and research member of the Developmental Therapeutics program at Massey. Toor\u2019s research concentrates on training the immune system to prevent cancer cells from evading detection and destruction. Focusing on T cells and the important role they play in warding off cancer cells, Toor and his team of investigators launched a two-pronged approach.\n\nThe first step was directed at developing safe and non-toxic treatments to perform allogeneic (donor) stem cell transplantation. The second step involved understanding the donor immune system's response to cancer in donor stem cell transplantation to develop a way to train the patient's immune system to attack the cancer cells, ultimately allowing the patient to benefit from the immunotherapeutic effect without the accompanying risk.\n\nThe clinical trials developing these ideas have focused on utilizing either the donor's or the patient's own T cells to kill cancer cells. Toor says that the process works much like locks and keys. \u201cThe small antigens on the surface of foreign cells are keys and each T cell has a receptor or a lock,\u201d he says. \u201cIf the antigen on the threatening cell fits in the T cell receptor, then the lock is released and the T cell\u2019s deadly arsenal is unleashed on the threat. For the recipients, the keys are proteins unique to the patient and are absent in the donor, thus becoming targets for the donor T cells.\u201d\n\nAnother Phase II clinical trial led by Toor is showing promise in providing lasting protection against the progression of multiple myeloma following an autologous (self) stem cell transplant. Exemplifying the lock and key analogy, a combination of two drugs is trying to make cancer cells easier targets. The first drug, azacitidine, forces the cancer cells to express proteins \u2013 the keys \u2013 which the patient\u2019s T cells \u2013 the locks \u2013 recognize as foreign. The second drug, lenalidomid, boosts the production of the T cells to recognize and attack the foreign cancer cells (see Figure above.)\n\nIn short, Toor is harnessing the immune system to improve stem cell transplant outcomes while gaining mechanistic insights into the process. The approach, which has led to a number of publications and is gaining national attention, is now being used to treat a number of cancers, including leukemia and multiple myeloma. To date, this therapy has benefitted more than 50 cancer patients treated at Massey.\n\nToor is also collaborating with Manjili and Gregory Buck, Ph.D., VCU Center for Genome Complexity, in an effort to catalogue the entire library of antigens that differ between stem cell donors and transplant recipients enrolled in a Phase II clinical trial. Through this project, the researchers hope to expand the selection of stem cell donors for those needing transplants.\n\nWritten by: Massey Communications Office\n\nPosted on: June 17, 2014\n\nCategory: Research<|endoftext|>Health: How to stimulate your pituitary gland.

Mental stress and physical fatigue drain us of our positive energy leaving us depleted physically, mentally and emotionally. Considered to be part of alternative medicine, meditation is fast gaining popularity amongst conventional medical practitioners as well. Patients are increasingly being advised to meditate for sometime in the day, which is believed to have a positive effect along with the allopathic medicines prescribed for a number of medical conditions.\n\nWhat is meditation? Meditation is a technique that helps us focus and calms the mind resulting in relaxed and restful state of physical and mental being. Meditation is generally focused on one constant thing, usually your breath. Meditation is an effective tool to gain mind control, self-awareness and understanding that eventually lead to inner calm and peacefulness. For people practice meditation, it can lead to profound experiences of self-realization and transcendental awareness and knowledge. A proven alternative therapy, meditation is a known stress reliever.\n\nMeditation is beneficial not only psychologically but is known to have positive effects on various health conditions ranging from blood pressure, insomnia to even depression. There are different techniques of meditation that people follow today. These are a product of diverse cultures and peoples around the world. The power of meditation has been harnessed to alleviate pain, suffering and promote healing for centuries in different cultures and religions, in some or the other form.\n\nTypes of meditation There are various types of meditation that originate from various parts of the world. Prayer is possibly the most common one, the others are Transcendental Meditation, mindfulness meditation, Zen meditation, Buddhist Meditation and Taoist Meditation.\n\nThe body under meditation Scientific experimentation and research has found out how the human body reacts under profound meditation. It has been found that the meditation process counteracted the effects of the sympathetic nervous system - the one that wants to fight or flee. Whereas the sympathetic system dilates the pupils and gets the heart rate, respiration and blood pressure up, the parasympathetic system, activated when we meditate, does just the opposite.\n\nMuscle tension decreases, blood pressure drops, and for some extraordinary practitioners, even temperature and basal metabolism rates drop during a prolonged meditation. Oxygen needs of the body are reduced when you are in a highly relaxed state, and brain waves change from the busy beta waves to the blissful alpha waves.\n\nMeditation Techniques There are two major approaches to meditation, which are Concentrative Meditation and Mindfulness Meditation. These can be explained as follows:\n\n1. Concentrative Meditation The approach to still the mind is to focus the attention on the breath, image or sound (mantra). This gives way to greater awareness and clarity. In its most basic form concentrative meditation requires you to sit", "base_doc": ",\u201d says Wang.\n\nTapping into T cells to combat breast cancer\n\nMasoud Manjili, D.V.M., Ph.D., member of the Cancer Cell Signaling program at Massey, is also at the forefront of groundbreaking research on cancer immunotherapy by targeting and manipulating specific parts of cancer cells.\n\nManjili and his team focused on overcoming two major barriers of cancer immunotherapy:\u00a0 tumor-induced T cell suppression and T cell-induced tumor editing and relapse. The T cells are a family of immune system cells that keep people healthy by identifying and launching attacks against threats such as bacteria, viruses or cancer. Anti-tumor T cells can both stop or slow down tumor growth on the one hand, but also cause changes in the tumor cells that could lead to tumor relapse on the other hand. \u201cThe ultimate goal of immunotherapy is to overcome tumor-induced immune suppression and at the same time induce tumor rejection without facilitating tumor escape and relapse,\u201d says Manjili.\n\nThrough lab studies led by Manjili, Massey researchers effectively reprogrammed cells of the innate and adaptive immune systems to overcome a key cancer defense mechanism and develop long-lasting memory to reject breast cancer cells, guarding against tumor relapse.

Exemplifying the lock and key analogy, a combination of two drugs is trying to make cancer cells easier targets. The first drug, azacitidine, forces the cancer cells to express proteins \u2013 the keys \u2013 which the patient\u2019s T cells \u2013 the locks \u2013 recognize as foreign. The second drug, lenalidomid, boosts the production of the T cells to recognize and attack the foreign cancer cells (see Figure above.)\n\nIn short, Toor is harnessing the immune system to improve stem cell transplant outcomes while gaining mechanistic insights into the process. The approach, which has led to a number of publications and is gaining national attention, is now being used to treat a number of cancers, including leukemia and multiple myeloma. To date, this therapy has benefitted more than 50 cancer patients treated at Massey.\n\nToor is also collaborating with Manjili and Gregory Buck, Ph.D., VCU Center for Genome Complexity, in an effort to catalogue the entire library of antigens that differ between stem cell donors and transplant recipients enrolled in a Phase II clinical trial. Through this project, the researchers hope to expand the selection of stem cell donors for those needing transplants.\n\nWritten by: Massey Communications Office\n\nPosted on: June 17, 2014\n\nCategory: Research<|endoftext|>Police are appealing for information after a dog was attacked by another dog in Sandiacre.\n\nThe incident happened at around 10.30am on Thursday, December 27, on the path of the Erewash Canal.\n\nA man was walking his dog along the canal path, near to the lock cottages, when it was attacked by a black and brown Staffordshire Bull Terrier type dog which was not on a lead.\n\nThe attack led to the dog having to have several hundred pounds worth of treatment from an emergency vet.\n\nDerbyshire Police are now hunting for a \"stockily built white man\" who is often seen with the dog.\n\nA police spokesman said: \"Dog owners, and those in charge of dogs, have a responsibility to keep them under control\u00a0and so the team would like to speak to the man who was with the dog and is described as a stockily built white man, around mid-50s in age.\n\n\"He had a beard at the time of the attack, was wearing combat style clothing, and possibly a cowboy hat.\n\n\"It has been reported that he is often seen with the dog by the canal from 6am onwards and carries a can of beer.\n\n\"Do you think you know who this man is?

Mental stress and physical fatigue drain us of our positive energy leaving us depleted physically, mentally and emotionally. Considered to be part of alternative medicine, meditation is fast gaining popularity amongst conventional medical practitioners as well. Patients are increasingly being advised to meditate for sometime in the day, which is believed to have a positive effect along with the allopathic medicines prescribed for a number of medical conditions.\n\nWhat is meditation? Meditation is a technique that helps us focus and calms the mind resulting in relaxed and restful state of physical and mental being. Meditation is generally focused on one constant thing, usually your breath. Meditation is an effective tool to gain mind control, self-awareness and understanding that eventually lead to inner calm and peacefulness. For people practice meditation, it can lead to profound experiences of self-realization and transcendental awareness and knowledge. A proven alternative therapy, meditation is a known stress reliever.\n\nMeditation is beneficial not only psychologically but is known to have positive effects on various health conditions ranging from blood pressure, insomnia to even depression. There are different techniques of meditation that people follow today. These are a product of diverse cultures and peoples around the world. The power of meditation has been harnessed to alleviate pain, suffering and promote healing for centuries in different cultures and religions, in some or the other form.\n\nTypes of meditation There are various types of meditation that originate from various parts of the world. Prayer is possibly the most common one, the others are Transcendental Meditation, mindfulness meditation, Zen meditation, Buddhist Meditation and Taoist Meditation.\n\nThe body under meditation Scientific experimentation and research has found out how the human body reacts under profound meditation. It has been found that the meditation process counteracted the effects of the sympathetic nervous system - the one that wants to fight or flee. Whereas the sympathetic system dilates the pupils and gets the heart rate, respiration and blood pressure up, the parasympathetic system, activated when we meditate, does just the opposite.\n\nMuscle tension decreases, blood pressure drops, and for some extraordinary practitioners, even temperature and basal metabolism rates drop during a prolonged meditation. Oxygen needs of the body are reduced when you are in a highly relaxed state, and brain waves change from the busy beta waves to the blissful alpha waves.\n\nMeditation Techniques There are two major approaches to meditation, which are Concentrative Meditation and Mindfulness Meditation. These can be explained as follows:\n\n1. Concentrative Meditation The approach to still the mind is to focus the attention on the breath, image or sound (mantra). This gives way to greater awareness and clarity. In its most basic form concentrative meditation requires you to sit quietly and focus your attention on your breath. Practitioners of yoga and meditation believe that there is a direct correlation between one's state of mind and one's breath.

Is. Industrivism.\u2019\n\n\u201cThat\u2019s the title of my next piece for your boss. I got a telegram this morning. He\u2019s hot for copy.

The first proposal was vague. The second had a bit more meat to it, but I was just winging it. The third was just the telegram I told you about\u2014no details at all. I suppose it doesn\u2019t really matter what Industrivism is, so long as people hear about it.\u201d\n\nJake frowned at that. \u201cHow does that even work?\u201d\n\nThe pulp writer shrugged. \u201cIt\u2019s like the American Dream. What does that even mean anymore? Or \u2018use a little wine for thy stomach\u2019s sake\u2019\u2014recall that the Dry League claimed that the Bible was recommending that we spill booze all over our bellies rather than drink it. Anything can mean anything.\n\n\u201cReally\u2014the less clear an idea is, the more likely it is to be popular.\u201d\n\nThe pulp writer peered down at her drink. She didn\u2019t even ask Jake if he were coming up this time, and Jake didn\u2019t hover like a fly, waiting to be asked, as he used to. She had no manuscripts for him to deliver to either his employer or the various pulp publishers about town and it sounded like he had no time to do any errands anyway.\n\nUpstairs, the pulp writer pored over a slim volume, The March of Diesel, published and distributed by the Hemphill Diesel Schools of Long Island City, Boston, Chicago, Memphis, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Vancouver. It covered the basics of the technology, and made some breathless predictions for the future-sort of a low-rent version of what she was doing, and oriented toward getting some down-on-their-luck pigeons to pay for a course on diesel mechanics. Then inspiration struck. Her fingers flew over the keys.\n\nWhat Is Industrivism?\n\nIndustrivism is the engine of life in America itself during this, the Era of Diesel.\n\nLike the mighty diesel engines that power our factories and automobiles, Industrivism is a Four-Stroke Process.\n\nIntake Stroke: The nation itself, home to all the peoples of the world, and every race and creed. E pluribus unum!\n\nCompression Stroke: The communities\u2014the great cities and towns where we live, work, play, and love.\n\nCombustion Stroke: The workplace, where we come together with furious energy to build a nation that shall lead the world.\n\nExhaust Stroke:\n\nWell, \u201cexhaust stroke\u201d was a tricky one, the pulp writer had to admit. Exhaust carried connotations of both the polluted and the bone-weary, which she had decided were the very opposite of Industrivism. The deadline was tight and no pulp writer got anywhere by wasting time, and ribbon, in revision. Sometimes thinking was the wrong thing to do. Let the fingers handle it.\n\nExhaust Stroke: Rejuvenated and refreshed by a gentle breeze from the oceans that protect this great nation from its jealous enemies, we redouble our efforts.\n\nThe pulp writer\u2019s only remit was to somehow make the diesel engine a metaphor for America itself. The pulp writer was creating a Bible of sorts for other writers to interpret and embellish. She imagined them bent over their own typewriters\u2014Remingtons and Olympias, some portables and others iron monsters from the war era\u2014a thousand literary pianos playing together, or one large and radically redistributed factory, all creating Industrivism for the slicks, for pulps, for religious publications, for the community pages of daily papers in English and Yiddish and Greek and German and Italian. All based on her notes. And like an assembly line, they\u2019d all fall idle without new material. The pulp writer caught a second wind\u2014an exhaust stroke of her own\u2014and wrote till dawn.\n\nWhile the pulp writer toiled, Jake wondered. There was something special about being foreman and factotum, specifically he didn\u2019t need to know very much about what was actually happening at any given moment. When he was confused, he\u2019d point to a worker and ask what he was doing, and what this process was for, and how it contributed to the final product, and he could then pretend to be satisfied or discomfited with the answers.\n\nJake could never bring himself to ask what the final product of all this production was, and not because he was embarrassed not to know, but because he was comforted by the idea that at least the workers on the line knew, and he couldn\u2019t bear to have that illusion shattered.\n\nBut still he wondered, so he took the steps to the first floor where the electroplating vats bubbled away, as the \u02bcplaters had time to chat.\n\n\u201cFellas,\u201d Jake said, and the three men straightened out and muttered nervous hellos. \u201cWhat is Industrivism?\u201d\n\nThe three men looked at one another, glancing back and forth as if deciding who would speak. Finally, one of them who Jake had pegged as a snickering wisenheimer type, said, \u201cSounds like a new radio show.\u201d\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s a kind of foot powder,\u201d said a tall, heavyset man.\n\nThe third fellow kept his eyes on the bubbling vat, as if electrodeposition would cease if he ever stopped staring.\n\n\u201cYou fellows are pretty funny. Tell me even one more joke, and I\u2019ll make sure you have plenty of time to take your act on the road,\u201d Jake said.\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s the heart of a diesel engine,\u201d the staring man said without looking up. \u201cIt\u2019s the heart in all of us.\u201d\n\n\u201cSounds good to me,\u201d the heavyset man said.

We\u2019ve got three full shifts and are still hiring.\u201d\n\n\u201cThere\u2019s a depression on, haven\u2019t you heard?\u201d the pulp writer said.\n\n\u201cI\u2019ll drink to that,\u201d Jake said. \u201cWe have a line of workers stretching around the block starting every morning at five a.m. Grown men climbing over the fences\u2014I even had to fire a couple of warning shots at a trio coming in on a row boat.\u201d\n\n\u201cCheaper than the Hudson Tubes,\u201d the pulp writer said.\n\n\u201cWhat is Industrivism?\u201d\n\n\u201cHow did you know,\u201d the pulp writer asked.\n\n\u201cI can\u2019t make heads or tails of this Industriv\u2014\u201d Jake started. \u201cWait, how did I know what?\u201d\n\nThe pulp writer held up her arms and set type on an invisible headline in the air before her. \u201c\u2018What. Is. Industrivism.\u2019\n\n\u201cThat\u2019s the title of my next piece for your boss. I got a telegram this morning. He\u2019s hot for copy. Wants a new Industrivism piece every week.\u201d\u201d\n\n\u201cI bet,\u201d Jake said. \u201cSo what is Industrivism?\u201d\n\n\u201cDoggoned if I know,\u201d the pulp writer said. \u201cI would have thought you could tell me. The first proposal was vague. The second had a bit more meat to it, but I was just winging it. The third was just the telegram I told you about\u2014no details at all. I suppose it doesn\u2019t really matter what Industrivism is, so long as people hear about it.\u201d\n\nJake frowned at that. \u201cHow does that even work?\u201d\n\nThe pulp writer shrugged. \u201cIt\u2019s like the American Dream. What does that even mean anymore? Or \u2018use a little wine for thy stomach\u2019s sake\u2019\u2014recall that the Dry League claimed that the Bible was recommending that we spill booze all over our bellies rather than drink it. Anything can mean anything.\n\n\u201cReally\u2014the less clear an idea is, the more likely it is to be popular.\u201d\n\nThe pulp writer peered down at her drink. She didn\u2019t even ask Jake if he were coming up this time, and Jake didn\u2019t hover like a fly, waiting to be asked, as he used to. She had no manuscripts for him to deliver to either his employer or the various pulp publishers about town and it sounded like he had no time to do any errands anyway.\n\nUpstairs, the pulp writer pored over a slim volume, The March of Diesel, published and distributed by the Hemphill Diesel Schools of Long Island City, Boston, Chicago, Memphis, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Vancouver. It covered the basics of the technology, and made some breathless predictions for the future-sort of a low-rent version of what she was doing, and oriented toward getting some down-on-their-luck pigeons to pay for a course on diesel mechanics. Then inspiration struck. Her fingers flew over the keys.\n\nWhat Is Industrivism?\n\nIndustrivism is the engine of life in America itself during this, the Era of Diesel.\n\nLike the mighty diesel engines that power our factories and automobiles, Industrivism is a Four-Stroke Process.\n\nIntake Stroke: The nation itself, home to all the peoples of the world, and every race and creed. E pluribus unum!\n\nCompression Stroke: The communities\u2014the great cities and towns where we live, work, play, and love.\n\nCombustion Stroke: The workplace, where we come together with furious energy to build a nation that shall lead the world.\n\nExhaust Stroke:\n\nWell, \u201cexhaust stroke\u201d was a tricky one, the pulp writer had to admit. Exhaust carried connotations of both the polluted and the bone-weary, which she had decided were the very opposite of Industrivism. The deadline was tight and no pulp writer got anywhere by wasting time, and ribbon, in revision. Sometimes thinking was the wrong thing to do. Let the fingers handle it.\n\nExhaust Stroke: Rejuvenated and refreshed by a gentle breeze from the oceans that protect this great nation from its jealous enemies, we redouble our efforts.\n\nThe pulp writer\u2019s only remit was to somehow make the diesel engine a metaphor for America itself. The pulp writer was creating a Bible of sorts for other writers to interpret and embellish. She imagined them bent over their own typewriters\u2014Remingtons and Olympias, some portables and others iron monsters from the war era\u2014a thousand literary pianos playing together, or one large and radically redistributed factory, all creating Industrivism for the slicks, for pulps, for religious publications, for the community pages of daily papers in English and Yiddish and Greek and German and Italian. All based on her notes. And like an assembly line, they\u2019d all fall idle without new material. The pulp writer caught a second wind\u2014an exhaust stroke of her own\u2014and wrote till dawn.\n\nWhile the pulp writer toiled, Jake wondered. There was something special about being foreman and factotum, specifically he didn\u2019t need to know very much about what was actually happening at any given moment. When he was confused, he\u2019d point to a worker and ask what he was doing, and what this process was for, and how it contributed to the final product, and he could then pretend to be satisfied or discomfited with the answers.\n\nJake could never bring himself to ask what the final product of all this production was, and not because he was embarrassed not to know, but because he was comforted by the idea that at least the workers on the line knew, and he couldn\u2019t bear to have that illusion shattered.\n\nBut still he wondered, so he took the steps to the first floor where the electroplating vats bubbled away, as the \u02bcplaters had time to chat.\n\n\u201cFellas,\u201d Jake said, and the three men straightened out and muttered nervous hellos. \u201cWhat is Industrivism?\u201d\n\nThe three men looked at one another, glancing back and forth as if deciding who would speak. Finally, one of them who Jake had pegged as a snickering wisenheimer type, said, \u201cSounds like a new radio show.\u201d\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s a kind of foot powder,\u201d said a tall, heavyset man.\n\nThe third fellow kept his eyes on the bubbling vat, as if electrodeposition would cease if he ever stopped staring.\n\n\u201cYou fellows are pretty funny. Tell me even one more joke, and I\u2019ll make sure you have plenty of time to take your act on the road,\u201d Jake said.\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s the heart of a diesel engine,\u201d the staring man said without looking up. \u201cIt\u2019s the heart in all of us.\u201d\n\n\u201cSounds good to me,\u201d the heavyset man said. The first wisenheimer just looked confused.\n\nJake went off without another word. He could always ask the old man, but what would the old man know? He wasn\u2019t even American, which is probably why he depended on the pulp writer for his political ideas.\n\nThe heart of a diesel engine . . . the heart would be where the fuel goes, like blood.\n\nHe tried someone else, just a random fellow leaning over a compressor. \u201cWhat are you making?\u201d\n\n\u201cCompressors,\u201d the man said. \u201cWiring.\u201d\n\n\u201cFor what?\u201d\n\nThe man shrugged. \u201cFrigidaires?\u201d\n\n\u201cYou think . . . we\u2019re", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 70478, "pt_loc": 32213002, "pt_shuffle_idx": 241219833, "doc_index_f": 378113680, "doc_index_l": 378113680, "offset_f": 3509, "offset_l": 5557, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 118, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": " what about other discomforts that aren\u2019t so obvious?\n\nOne day in my yin\u00a0yoga class, I did a spinal stretch and\u00a0felt a sudden rush of emotion. I saw my father in a hospital bed. My father died earlier this year, so it makes sense my body could hold on to some of that grief. The image of my dad in a hospital bed was one that happened much earlier, long before he had passed, but there it was. One simple stretch and tears streamed down my face. I breathed\u00a0through\u00a0the stretch, trying to shake off my sorrow, and hoped my teacher wouldn\u2019t say a word. She didn\u2019t. I pulled myself together.\n\nMy body may hold on to pain that I have yet to face or perhaps it\u2019s a memory stored on the cellular level. Whether you believe such things are possible, I feel that our bodies are talking to us in some form or fashion.

What I know is that the quest for more often leads to\u00a0less sleep and less time for ourselves.\u00a0In a rush to get somewhere and be more, being still seems counterproductive.\n\nI\u2019m reminded of the time I danced in a\u00a0tribute to\u00a0Pina Bausch\u00a0and one option for movement in the\u00a0piece was to be still. To\u00a0not\u00a0move. I found that strange. We didn\u2019t even have to give it counts; we could decide how long. The only condition was that you\u00a0had to be\u00a0really\u00a0still. If you\u00a0moved a finger or twitched an eye, you fell short of the goal of attaining real stillness. Anyway, this stillness was as much a movement as the choreographed movements; being still was its own move. And if you did it right, you could make as much a statement with it as with anything else.\n\nTry it. Be still. It may open your eyes to not only what\u2019s around you but allow yourself to hear\u00a0your body\u2019s story. What is it telling you? Don\u2019t forget to\u00a0breathe on purpose while you listen.\n\nBe the rock.\nBe still\u2026like the rock.\n\nphoto credit: Rock Simplicity via photopin (license)<|endoftext|>Family Life: How to cope with the death of a grandparent.

It is a club based on the old English game of hares and hounds where one or two members would be given several minutes head start and would drop shredded paper as the \"scent\". The hounds would then follow, after the prescribed time, and attempt to catch the hares. The hares would lay the trail in a straight or obvious line, but then would stop laying trail and run off in another direction and begin laying the trail after 100 meters or so. When the hounds discovered that they were no longer on trail, they would fan out in all directions in search of the \"scent\" and would call to the others when the trail was once again discovered. The founder of the HASH, A. S. \"G\" Gispert, in 1937 discovered the Springgit Harriers, one of the paper chase clubs, in Malacca. He introduced Ronald \"Torch\" Bennett to the concept and the stage was set. When \"G\" returned to Kuala Lumpur in 1938, he became a member of the Federated Malay States Volunteer Reserves, which trained on Mondays. \"G\" and many of the other ex-pat Brits were housed in barracks in the Royal Selangor Club where he and \"Torch\" would often discuss starting a harrier club in KL (Kuala Lumpur). Finally in about December of 1938, \"G\" convinced about a dozen others to follow his inaugural paper trail. Gispert then suggested the name of HASH HOUSE HARRIERS in mock allusion to the mess at the Selangor Club, where many of them dined. The runs were held Monday evenings after reserve training and were followed by refreshment of Tiger beer. A.

This mean my junior doctor has done his medical training at university, then his Foundation training as a doctor, then started in psychiatry with me last month. He had an induction so he's being doing psychiatry for all of, oooh, about 4 weeks. Clearly he's not in a position to give meaningful input, on his own, in out-patient clinics or the like.\n\nThe Royal College of Psychiatrists recognise this and define what it's reasonable/desirable for junior doctors to do at different stages of their training. In their first year, as mine is, they're to learn core skills. It's even called Core Training, so if after a year he thinks psychiatry's a terrible mistake and he want instead to be, say, a gynaecologist, off he can go and his year in psychiatry is useful and translates into a year of gynae training through teaching him consultation skills, approach to examinations, documentation, governance frameworks, evidencing rational prescribing practice, undertaking clinical audit and other such skills a medic is expected to develop.\n\nAs such, he can't do clinics on his own. Or skip off and see new referrals in the community. Or do liaison psychiatry, seeing folk on medical/surgical wards.\n\nIt's genuinely a training role which has the advantage that the service ticks along quite nicely whether he's here or not, it gives him time to read and study and shadow loads of folk to get a good understanding of practice, and it's hardly a stressful post. It also means patients get medical psychiatric input from a Consultant Psychiatrist, not a junior doctor.\n\nAs well as junior medical staff having a training (rather than a service commitment) role, as a Consultant Psychiatrist I input into other peoples' work. Mornings and afternoons our teams meet up and discuss the work to do/work done and consider what needs to be changed. As such, every patient has both this informal discussion when a Consultant can think if specific investigations need to be done, or psychiatric/other medication reviewed, or physical health symptoms unpicked or whatever. Every patient has formulation and care planning discussed with a Consultant Psychiatrist. Equally, all mine are discussed with nurses, OT, support work, pharmacy and social workers so they can chirp up with their thoughts on input into care.\n\nThe consequence of this is that all medical decisions within our service are through a Consultant Psychiatrist, and through both formal and informal forums there're mechanisms for medical input into every patient's care, every day.\n\nAt least when someone's stuck and refers in to our service, the diagnosis is made by a Consultant Psychiatrist (for good or bad, in my corner, nobody else does diagnosis) and medical dimensions are considered by the Consultant.

But with the average cell phone plan costing $99 a month, is there a way to lower this monthly bill?\u00a0\n\nFortunately, the answer is yes. By switching to a prepaid phone plan you could save money while still getting the features and data you need. Unlike a traditional cell phone plan, a prepaid cell phone plan charges its users at the beginning of the month rather than at the end of the month.\u00a0\n\nPrepaid plans come in every shape and size in terms of pricing and features. A study from ItsWorthMore.com found that switching to a cell phone plan with a data cap such as a prepaid plan could result in a savings of $268 a year.\u00a0\n\nHere's what you need to know about prepaid cell phone plans and whether switching is the right choice.\n\nCompare Cell Phone Plans\n\nWhat is a prepaid phone plan?\n\nA prepaid cell phone plan is exactly what it sounds like. You make your monthly payment to the phone carrier at the beginning of the billing cycle rather than at the end. While the big-name carriers like AT&T and Verizon offer prepaid options, there are several other carriers that offer lower cost plans with the same features such as unlimited talk and text.\n\nThese value carriers are known as mobile virtual network operators, or MVNOs. They don't own the physical communications network their customers use. Instead, they lease the communications equipment from the larger companies like AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile.\u00a0\n\nSome MVNOs are a subsidiary of one of these major carriers, but others operate independently.\n\nBenefits of a prepaid plan\n\n \u2022 Lower cost\n \u2022 No contract\n \u2022 Lower taxes\n \u2022 No credit check\n\nPrepaid cell phone plans have long been considered a less expensive option for users.\u00a0\n\nIn the past, prepaid plans offered very few options, and some didn't even offer access if you were using a newer phone. Fortunately, many of those drawbacks of using prepaid phone plans have been eliminated in the last decade as MVNOs entered the market.\u00a0\n\nLower cost. The biggest benefit of using a prepaid cell phone plan is the less expensive monthly cost. One of the ways that prepaid companies offer lower fees is by requiring an up-front purchase of a cell phone.\u00a0\n\nHowever, you can avoid that cost by choosing to use your own phone. These are known as bring your own device plans. Some carrier plans also offer phone rentals in order to maintain a low monthly cost.\n\nNo contract. Another benefit of a prepaid plan is that there is no contract involved in getting the service set up. In fact, some of the major carriers have done away with their contract plans because of the increased interest in prepaid phone plans and MVNO plan options.\n\nLower taxes. A final perk of using a prepaid cell phone service is the difference in taxes", "base_doc": " he would check to see what kind of sack\nthe feed was in.

You make your monthly payment to the phone carrier at the beginning of the billing cycle rather than at the end. While the big-name carriers like AT&T and Verizon offer prepaid options, there are several other carriers that offer lower cost plans with the same features such as unlimited talk and text.\n\nThese value carriers are known as mobile virtual network operators, or MVNOs. They don't own the physical communications network their customers use. Instead, they lease the communications equipment from the larger companies like AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile.\u00a0\n\nSome MVNOs are a subsidiary of one of these major carriers, but others operate independently.\n\nBenefits of a prepaid plan\n\n \u2022 Lower cost\n \u2022 No contract\n \u2022 Lower taxes\n \u2022 No credit check\n\nPrepaid cell phone plans have long been considered a less expensive option for users.\u00a0\n\nIn the past, prepaid plans offered very few options, and some didn't even offer access if you were using a newer phone. Fortunately, many of those drawbacks of using prepaid phone plans have been eliminated in the last decade as MVNOs entered the market.\u00a0\n\nLower cost. The biggest benefit of using a prepaid cell phone plan is the less expensive monthly cost. One of the ways that prepaid companies offer lower fees is by requiring an up-front purchase of a cell phone.\u00a0\n\nHowever, you can avoid that cost by choosing to use your own phone. These are known as bring your own device plans. Some carrier plans also offer phone rentals in order to maintain a low monthly cost.\n\nNo contract. Another benefit of a prepaid plan is that there is no contract involved in getting the service set up. In fact, some of the major carriers have done away with their contract plans because of the increased interest in prepaid phone plans and MVNO plan options.\n\nLower taxes. A final perk of using a prepaid cell phone service is the difference in taxes applied to your bill. Traditional cell phone plans include a long list of confusing taxes on each monthly statement - sales tax, universal service fund surcharge, state and local taxes. All those taxes can add up to hundreds of dollars a year.\u00a0\n\nMeanwhile, prepaid phone plans typically only include sales tax on phone purchases - not", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 75386, "pt_loc": 24565613, "pt_shuffle_idx": 51650705, "doc_index_f": 80966565, "doc_index_l": 80966568, "offset_f": 196, "offset_l": 724, "pt_injection_pos": 2, "pt_window_offset": 43, "pt_injection_len": 109, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [671, 375, 278, 725]} -{"pt_doc": "Having an ice cream: A baby is seated in a car seat in a car.

location of each colorful design by hand, and each design is then tufted onto the chenille robe using 100% cotton yarn.\u00a0 These designs are not patches or appliqu\u00e9s, but actually become a

carefully tufted onto each robe by one of Canyon Group's talented design staff using a specialized, hand-guided machine, although some tiny details, fabric reinforcements, minor repairs, and the removal of overrun stitches are often done by hand.\u00a0 Because the manufacture of chenille is, by nature, an imperfect process, occasional missed stitches can occur, which are typically well-concealed by the surrounding, fluffy nap and do not affect the overall beauty of the finished chenille robe.\u00a0 There may be slight variations in the yarn colors used for the tufted designs, due to differences in dye lots and availability, but the overall look of the designs will not be affected.\u00a0 Minor variations in the color of the chenille can occur based on how the natural and

movie \"Fight Club,\" men have wanted this robe!\u00a0 For a man, Canyon Group suggests purchasing one size larger than his casual shirt size (for example, if he wears a size XL shirt, then purchase a size 1X robe).\n\nThe length of each robe is indicated in the product title and descriptions and is the average length for that robe style.\u00a0 The actual length may vary slightly by size.\u00a0 The length of each robe is measured from the seam at the base of the neck down to the hem.\u00a0 We recomend that you measure this length on yourself to determine where specific robe lengths will fall on you.\u00a0 In general, based on the robe size you purchase and your height, a 36-inch kimono robe should hit from mid to lower thigh, a 48-inch wrap or zip-front robe should hit from below the knee to mid calf, and a 56-inch wrap robe should be ankle to floor length.\n\nBecause each robe is individually made by the seamstresses at Canyon Group, the actual measurements may vary slightly among same-sized robes.\u00a0 If you are debating between two sizes, we suggest selecting the larger size.\u00a0 We find that most people prefer a roomy fit instead of a snug fit.\u00a0 However, because fit preferences will vary from one customer to the next and bodies can be disproportionate, we are not able to guarantee the fit or sizing of your robe.\u00a0 Because the process of making chenille involves piercing a fabric backing with hundred of needles of yarn to make the fluffy lines, chenille is a somewhat delicate fabric.\u00a0 Rarely, unusual or excessive stress along the lines of chenille can result in tearing, so please ensure that your robe has a loose, comfortable fit and is not wrapped too tightly at areas where your body bends or twists.\n\nPlease note that Canyon Group has made chenille robes according to individual store specifications.\u00a0 For example, all Canyon Group chenille robes sold by QVC and Junonia (and possibly other stores) were made from patterns specifically designed for each of these vendors.\u00a0 Therefore, sizing for robes purchased elsewhere may differ from that of robes purchased from our store.\n\nCanyon Group Chenille Care Instructions:\n\nThe following information is applicable to all Canyon Group chenille products, including robes, kimonos, jackets, shower wraps, pillows, bedding, tote bags, fabrics, and craft items.\n\nCanyon Group makes and dyes their own chenille in Dalton, Georgia, using raw materials also made in the United States.\u00a0 In addition to the traditional process used to dye chenille, Canyon Group also uses a specialized process to treat all of their dark and vibrant chenille fabric colors (aqua, bedroom blue, indigo, leaf green, lime green, lipstick pink, purple, raspberry pink, Texas orange, and turquoise, which require a large amount of dye and long time in the dye bath to achieve the desired color) with a professional color fixative to remove any excess dye and ensure

While this is hardly an innovative or challenging premise for a film, Siren fails to live up to its own meagre image, and the results are hollow.\n\nThe plot sees a sexually charged trio of friends rent a sailing boat off the coast of Tunisia to get away from the troubles of urban living. After a clearly disturbed man swims to them from a nearby island and duly dies on their boat, the trio decide to bury him on the island. There, they encounter the mysterious and beautiful Silka, who takes on the role of the titular Siren, and begins playing seductive, telepathic mind-games with the trio.\n\nWhile the premise makes for a tacky but potentially amusing horror film, the acting and script make the film incomprehensible and hollow. The three protagonists \u2013 a sleazy sex freak, a dull nice guy, and a hapless but attractive girl whose heart (or pussy) they both want \u2013 are hopelessly one-dimensional. The only treat in the film Tereza Srbova as Silka, but that\u2019s more to do with her stunning looks than her acting skill.\n\nSiren features some decent cinematography. The island setting is both beautiful and haunting, and the hallucination scenes are disorienting in a way that anticipates some eventual explanation. The problem is that there is ultimately no explanation for anything. Siren seems to get stuck in a narrative loop in which the main characters lose each other, trip out, then find each other again only to find that another character has wandered off somewhere. Much of the film therefore is spent with everyone simply shouting each other\u2019s name in desperation (it doesn\u2019t help that one of them is called Marco which, in a desperate bid to entertain myself, makes me want to shout out, \u2018Polo\u2019).\n\nTo justify its \u2018sexy\u2019 image, Siren contains some unexplained soft-core lesbian scenes, much to the disappointment of the men in the film, who are virtually drooling for a filthy four-way. Other sex scenes in the film are off-putting mainly due to Eoin Macken\u2019s disturbingly protruding pecks and lumpy six-pack. The horror aspects of the film are equally unsatisfying, being restricted mainly to one-second flashes of vaguely menacing-looking people covered in blood.\n\nThe only extra features to speak of on the DVD are some deleted scenes which, as you can imagine, must\u2019ve been pretty dreary not to make the final cut of this film. Incidentally though, one of these scenes, in which Silka tells Rachel a story about how she came to be on this island, goes some way to explaining why Silka is such a seducing, vengeful bitch.\n\nSiren is a poor film by a first-time director whose background in art direction does shine at points. There is some mesmerising surreal imagery in the film that provides a good backdrop for the hallucinatory style of horror that is being attempted here. Sadly, Siren fails to meet the relatively low benchmark that most contemporary horror films demand. It fails to provide cheap shocks, and the acting is too hollow to make the film sexy. As such, there really is nothing to see here\u2026 unless you want to vacantly gawp at the beautiful, but untalented, Tereza Srbova.\n\nBest scene: Nothing to see here for a film-lover, but the pathetic pervert in me admittedly enjoyed anything involving mild girl-on-girl action.\nBest performance: There really is little performance to speak of\u2026\nTry these instead:\nDeathproof, The Hunger<|endoftext|>Home and Garden: How to get rid of starlings.

OK, it's not really a confession since everyone who knows me knows that I'm obsessed with designer bags. I'm not at the Prada level, but show me a Furla, Coach, Cole Haan or Dooney & Burke and I'll take it. In my younger days, I'd pick one up without a second thought. Isn't that what credit cards are for, I'd think to myself? But as I got older and took on more responsibilities (Hello, mortgage!), my guilty pleasure became less pleasure, more guilt. Don't get me wrong. I still melt at the feel of that soft, buttery leather and give in to it more often than I should. But these days it's also accompanied by a twinge in my stomach when I get my credit card bill. It's easy to rationalize buying a handbag in the heat of the moment: My other black one is worn out. I have so much stuff to carry I need a bigger bag. I don't have this shade of green. But when you're staring at your American Express bill, plus the ten other bills you have to pay that month, you realize that there has to be a better way.\n\nAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\nLuckily, I heard about this cool website, Bag Borrow or Steal ( that lets you rent awesome designer bags for as little as $15 for as long as you want\u2014a week, a month, six months!

It's perfect for someone like me who can't give up her obsession, even though she knows she should. This site is definitely on my \"To try\" list. Also on my list: Marshalls. Several friends have told me that it sells great brand name bags for a lot less than department stores. I'm so there!

The only treat in the film Tereza Srbova as Silka, but that\u2019s more to do with her stunning looks than her acting skill.\n\nSiren features some decent cinematography. The island setting is both beautiful and haunting, and the hallucination scenes are disorienting in a way that anticipates some eventual explanation. The problem is that there is ultimately no explanation for anything. Siren seems to get stuck in a narrative loop in which the main characters lose each other, trip out, then find each other again only to find that another character has wandered off somewhere. Much of the film therefore is spent with everyone simply shouting each other\u2019s name in desperation (it doesn\u2019t help that one of them is called Marco which, in a desperate bid to entertain myself, makes me want to shout out, \u2018Polo\u2019).\n\nTo justify its \u2018sexy\u2019 image, Siren contains some unexplained soft-core lesbian scenes, much to the disappointment of the men in the film, who are virtually drooling for a filthy four-way. Other sex scenes in the film are off-putting mainly due to Eoin Macken\u2019s disturbingly protruding pecks and lumpy six-pack. The horror aspects of the film are equally unsatisfying, being restricted mainly to one-second flashes of vaguely menacing-looking people covered in blood.\n\nThe only extra features to speak of on the DVD are some deleted scenes which, as you can imagine, must\u2019ve been pretty dreary not to make the final cut of this film. Incidentally though, one of these scenes, in which Silka tells Rachel a story about how she came to be on this island, goes some way to explaining why Silka is such a seducing, vengeful bitch.\n\nSiren is a poor film by a first-time director whose background in art direction does shine at points. There is some mesmerising surreal imagery in the film that provides a good backdrop for the hallucinatory style of horror that is being attempted here. Sadly, Siren fails to meet the relatively low benchmark that most contemporary horror films demand. It fails to provide cheap shocks, and the acting is too hollow to make the film sexy. As such, there really is nothing to see here\u2026 unless you want to vacantly gawp at the beautiful, but untalented, Tereza Srbova.\n\nBest scene: Nothing to see here for a film-lover, but the pathetic pervert in me admittedly enjoyed anything involving mild girl-on-girl action.\nBest performance: There really is little performance to speak of\u2026\nTry these instead:\nDeathproof, The Hunger<|endoftext|>In the Bag\n\nI have a confession: I'm a handbag fanatic. OK, it's not really a confession since everyone who knows me knows that I'm obsessed with designer bags. I'm not at the Prada level, but show me a Furla, Coach, Cole Haan or Dooney & Burke and I'll take it. In my younger days, I'd pick one up without a second thought. Isn't that what credit cards are for, I'd think to myself? But as I got older and took on more responsibilities (Hello, mortgage!), my guilty pleasure became less pleasure, more guilt. Don't get me wrong. I still melt at the feel of that soft, buttery leather and give in to it more often than I should. But these days it's also accompanied by a twinge in my stomach when I get my credit card bill. It's easy to rationalize buying a handbag in the heat of the moment: My other black one is worn out. I have so much stuff to carry I need a bigger bag. I don't have this shade of green. But when you're staring at your American Express bill, plus the ten other bills you have to pay that month, you realize that there has to be a better way.\n\nAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\nLuckily, I heard about this cool website, Bag Borrow or Steal ( that lets you rent awesome designer bags for as little as $15 for as long as you want\u2014a week, a month, six months! And you don't even have to be a member. You can borrow bags as a guest (though your rental fee will be a bit higher.) It's perfect for someone like me who can't give up her obsession, even though she knows she should. This site is definitely on my \"To try\" list. Also on my list: Marshalls. Several friends have told me that it sells great brand name bags for a lot less than department stores. I'm so there! This devil may not wear Prada, but she can definitely borrow it, or at least get it for half off. \u2014Angela Ebron, Articles Director\n\nTip of the Day: In addition to Marshalls, T.J. Maxx is also a great resource for brand name bags for less. Know of any other stores that offer deep discounts on designer handbags? I'd love to hear about it.\n\nMost Popular:<|endoftext|>Stillwater Shoegaze is Not Vegan Friendly\n\nby Stillwater Artisanal Ales\nAddress: 1028 S.

Putting Technology to Work\n\nAs has been outlined in the other four articles about writing tasks and the ADHD student, it is really difficult, if not impossible to get one's writing down perfectly the first, second or even third time.\u00a0 As luck would have it, we live in an age when high accessibility to paper makes it less critical that a first draft be almost the last draft.\u00a0 We also live in an age when computer technologies make it super easy to edit and even move huge chunks of writing around quickly and easily.\u00a0 The first step to making writing easier for any one, but especially for our ADHD kids is to remove the pressure to make the writing perfect the first (or even second) time.\u00a0\u00a0\n\nTechnology Helps:\u00a0 Don't put it on plain old lined paper\n\nHandwriting and spelling are particularly difficult and can really get in the way for many ADHD kids.\u00a0 As soon as our kids are ready to learn touch typing, teach it to them!\u00a0 Typing will allow a child to have a much better chance of keeping up with his or her thoughts and reduces the likelihood of drawing a really frustrating blank.\n\nBy recording ideas in an audio format, a child can then push pause as much as needed while listening and getting ideas down onto paper, or typed onto the screen.\n\nSoftware such as Powerpoint actually generates an outline alongside the slide show being created.\u00a0 Using tools like powerpoint to generate separate slides that can easily be arranged and rearranged can help children get their ideas in order and go back and double check for flow and clarity.\u00a0 Mindmapping software helps kids with getting their thoughts organized and sorting out main ideas from supporting details.\n\nWhen used correctly, word processing can help tremendously by aiding children in catching spelling and grammatical errors.\u00a0 Similarly, there are now also programs available (like this one) called, \"word predictor software\" that actually predict the next word the child is likely to use when typing into the computer.\u00a0 While this could produce distraction during some parts of the writing process, it can also be extremely helpful in aiding a child in choosing the best word and spelling while the child is drafting a written piece.\u00a0 Using such a program can cut down on the amount of \"revising\" needed and build self confidence in the writer.\u00a0 If a child pays attention to the spelling offered, over time they can also learn from the computer in regard to how to correctly spell certain words in the first place.\n\n\nModern word processing software also allows children to cut and paste entire chunks of their writing in order to easily rearrange their work in the final editing stages.\n\nThere are also options for speech recognition software that allows a child that has particular difficulty with the motor skills involved in physically writing or typing his or her ideas to dictate their thoughts directly into the computer.\u00a0 These programs require \"training\" which takes a lot of time and can be pretty pricey, but depending on the particular needs of your child, may be well worth the investment.\n\nIf you liked this article, you might also like;\n\nThe Writing Process\u00a0\nTeaching Wiggle Worms\nHow to Make Your Own Fidgets\nWriting Tasks for Your ADHD Student -

Getting it all Organized\n\nOrganization is something that is particularly difficult for kids and adults with ADHD.\u00a0 Here is one alternative to the traditional outline for getting ideas organized in writing that I have found to work very well with ADHD students.\u00a0 An outline is a wonderful tool for those students for whom it does work and I encourage you to introduce\u00a0them to your kids, but if this tool doesn't work for them I also suggest offering up this tactic instead.\n\nAfter kids have brainstormed their subtopics and supporting details to be used, they'll need to formulate full sentences for each idea.\u00a0 I suggest these sentences get written on separate index cards - one sentence per card OR typed onto slides in a program similar to Powerpoint.\u00a0 Again, one sentence per slide.\n\nHere Alice is putting her Sentences in the Order she Thinks works best\nThe student will then sort the cards or slides into paragraphs with topic sentences and supporting details.\u00a0 Once all is in order, the child should read through the writing he or she has created and add \"linking statements\" or sentences. \u00a0 This is also a good time to combine sentences using conjunctions\u00a0 to increase the fluidity of the writing.\u00a0 During this process, a child can add another sentence card for a new idea he or she has had, remove cards that represent redundant ideas or rearrange a portion of cards because of a new thought on how best to arrange the statements of the work.\n\nFinally, the child will then transfer their work into one piece.\u00a0 He or she could hand-write the work or type it all into a word processor.\u00a0 Of course a word processor allows for a similar type of cutting and pasting, but I have found that particularly with younger kids there is something to be said for the physicality of the separate cards and the action of actually manipulating separate cards.\n\nThis method does have the drawback that kids might spend far too much time arranging and rearranging their thoughts, but if you want to be realistic, that is true of the writing process anyway you go about completing the process.\u00a0 The method does seem to help some kids avoid \"Writer's Block\" as for whatever reason it feels less overwhelming or just more fun to them.\u00a0\n\nYou might also be interested in:\nThe Writing Process\u00a0\n", "base_doc": " blow her a kiss today?\"\u00a0 and/or, \"Would you like to put your lunch leftovers in your bag or would you rather I did it?\"\u00a0 In doing this you establish that it is time to go, but you are also giving her an opportunity to choose how she goes about leaving.\n\nTry to keep leaving fun, most of the time you can simply engage your little one in conversation.\u00a0 For example, you might ask what his favorite part of the day was.\u00a0 However, every once in awhile (and especially if you've been having trouble at pick up time) make a game out of getting to the car. \u00a0 How many giant steps does it take?

Your physical heart and your physical brain rule your physical body. Your etheric body of your fourth dimensional self serves as the frequency interface between physical body and your Lightbody.\n\nAs your \u201cjunk DNA\u201d comes online, which it is doing day-by-day, more and more of your Lightbody will be revealed to your third-dimensional consciousness. Those of you who have meditated to the extent that you can consciously connect with your gamma wave consciousness have had fleeting experiences of \u201cbeing Lightbody.\u201d\n\nThese experiences are fleeting because you have made a pre-birth contract that you would not flash into your Personal Lightbody until there was enough Unity Consciousness of humanity to \u201ctime\u201d that flash into your personal Lightbody with Gaia\u2019s flash into Planetary Lightbody.\n\nIt is important that you all unite your transmutation into Lightbody with Gaia\u2019s transmutation into Lightplanet. The reason for this is that most of you who are receiving this transmission are aware you are already fifth dimensional Lightbody in your fifth dimensional self.\n\nTherefore, you do not \u201ccreate\u201d your Lightbody, but you \u201creturn\u201d to your Lightbody. You, the ones who took an earth vessel to assist with Planetary Ascension, are remembering that this \u201creturn to your innate Lightbody self\u201d was planned before you took this incarnation.\n\nIn fact, you volunteered to take this, particular and very important, incarnation because you knew that Gaia had the Possible Reality of flashing into a fifth-dimensional \u201cLight Planet.\u201d All of Gaia\u2019s kingdoms are ready for frequency shift, except for humanity.\n\nThe very evolutionary cycle that made humans the \u201cdominant species\u201d of planet Earth, also attracted many beings who wanted to \u201chitch a ride\u201d on the ascending planet. However, because some of these \u201cothers\u201d have selfish, and too often \u201cpower over others\u201d states of consciousness, they have actually served as a breaking mechanism.\n\nThis \u201cbreaking mechanism\u201d has greatly delayed Gaia ascension, which was the intention of the Power Over Others members of humanity. This, \u201cone bad apple\u201d does NOT spoil the bunch, but they have greatly delayed the process of Planetary Ascension.

Your physical heart and your physical brain rule your physical body. Your etheric body of your fourth dimensional self serves as the frequency interface between physical body and your Lightbody.\n\nAs your \u201cjunk DNA\u201d comes online, which it is doing day-by-day, more and more of your Lightbody will be revealed to your third-dimensional consciousness. Those of you who have meditated to the extent that you can consciously connect with your gamma wave consciousness have had fleeting experiences of \u201cbeing Lightbody.\u201d\n\nThese experiences are fleeting because you have made a pre-birth contract that you would not flash into your Personal Lightbody until there was enough Unity Consciousness of humanity to \u201ctime\u201d that flash into your personal Lightbody with Gaia\u2019s flash into Planetary Lightbody.\n\nIt is important that you all unite your transmutation into Lightbody with Gaia\u2019s transmutation into Lightplanet. The reason for this is that most of you who are receiving this transmission are aware you are already fifth dimensional Lightbody in your fifth dimensional self.\n\nTherefore, you do not \u201ccreate\u201d your Lightbody, but you \u201creturn\u201d to your Lightbody. You, the ones who took an earth vessel to assist with Planetary Ascension, are remembering that this \u201creturn to your innate Lightbody self\u201d was planned before you took this incarnation.\n\nIn fact, you volunteered to take this, particular and very important, incarnation because you knew that Gaia had the Possible Reality of flashing into a fifth-dimensional \u201cLight Planet.\u201d All of Gaia\u2019s kingdoms are ready for frequency shift, except for humanity.\n\nThe very evolutionary cycle that made humans the \u201cdominant species\u201d of planet Earth, also attracted many beings who wanted to \u201chitch a ride\u201d on the ascending planet. However, because some of these \u201cothers\u201d have selfish, and too often \u201cpower over others\u201d states of consciousness, they have actually served as a breaking mechanism.\n\nThis \u201cbreaking mechanism\u201d has greatly delayed Gaia ascension, which was the intention of the Power Over Others members of humanity. This, \u201cone bad apple\u201d does NOT spoil the bunch, but they have greatly delayed the process of Planetary Ascension.

However few realised the impact of the new discovery... The military used the subspace channels for the first few years, then allowed trading to open. As the colonies grew further apart isolating themselves in cultural and personal identities, the inevitable happened, and the first Great Intergalactic War broke out. One of the factions scientists known only as Arcturus, devised a method to use the subspace technology to send the destructive energy of his cannon to virutally anywhere in the universe. Low power level tests proved successful. There was no defense against a weapon that created energy seemingly out of nowhere. After years of research into the new phenomenon, scientists came up with a theory to defend against such a weapon by using Dark Matter to destroy the energy. This..... was a terrible idea... Within seconds, sensors recorded a new element, known now, as Multiverse Matter They attempted to scan it, and the sensor logs from the experiment showed that the scientists could see themselves, but not themselves. They were performing different tasks to what they were doing, with no trace of the Arcturus attack. They realised they were peering into another universe. As they attempted to shut down the weapon, the enemy increased power, which made contact with the Multiverse Matter, a chain reaction had started all over subspace, and new planets were being pulled into our universe. Death and destruction soon followed, with planets occupying the same space as their Multiverse equivalent. Survivors attempted to start a new life... But were met with incredible hostility from everywhere, planets were now mostly barren, and require terraforming to create new areas of cohabitation.

However few realised the impact of the new discovery... The military used the subspace channels for the first few years, then allowed trading to open. As the colonies grew further apart isolating themselves in cultural and personal identities, the inevitable happened, and the first Great Intergalactic War broke out. One of the factions scientists known only as Arcturus, devised a method to use the subspace technology to send the destructive energy of his cannon to virutally anywhere in the universe. Low power level tests proved successful. There was no defense against a weapon that created energy seemingly out of nowhere. After years of research into the new phenomenon, scientists came up with a theory to defend against such a weapon by using Dark Matter to destroy the energy. This..... was a terrible idea... Within seconds, sensors recorded a new element, known now, as Multiverse Matter They attempted to scan it, and the sensor logs from the experiment showed that the scientists could see themselves, but not themselves. They were performing different tasks to what they were doing, with no trace of the Arcturus attack. They realised they were peering into another universe. As they attempted to shut down the weapon, the enemy increased power, which made contact with the Multiverse Matter, a chain reaction had started all over subspace, and new planets were being pulled into our universe. Death and destruction soon followed, with planets occupying the same space as their Multiverse equivalent. Survivors attempted to start a new life... But were met with incredible hostility from everywhere, planets were now mostly barren, and require terraforming to create new areas of cohabitation. As you join all those who came before you, how will you survive in the new Multiverse\n\nRank: 192\nVotes: 11\nDate Signed Up: 2017-09-26 00:50:07\nAdded by: mvwadmin\nTotal Votes: 58\nTotal Visits: 12<|endoftext|>\nFemale carer - Carers UK Forum\n\nFemale carer\n\nShare information, support and advice on all aspects of caring.\nI'm sorry, I am not a carer but my mum is in receipt of the full care package due to illness.Apologies if this is the wrong place to have posted this but I was hoping for a little advice from a popular forum and from people in the know.\n\nMy mum will leave hospital for home tomorrow and the night time carer (\"tuck\" visit I think they call it) will be male.\n\nMy mum needs help with everything from changing into her pajamas to wiping after the toilet.

Seventy people had to be pulled from a collapsing hotel at the height of the storm, and many more who defied evacuation orders were hoping to be rescued.\n\nIn North Carolina, the city of New Bern was particularly hard hit.\n\nWILMINGTON: Florence barreled into the Carolina coast and moved inland on Friday, knocking down trees, overflowing rivers, dumping sheets of rain and leading to the death of five people before it was downgraded to a tropical storm still capable of wreaking havoc. The city said two FEMA teams were working on swift-water rescues and more were on the way.\n\nThough weakened, Florence remains a very large, slow and unsafe storm as it swirls over the Carolinas.\n\n\n\nView of Florence in Wilmington, N.C., on Friday.\n\nPeople around the Carolinas are being told that say they can buy flood insurance policy right now that will cover damage done by Florence, according to FEMA. That's enough to fill the Chesapeake Bay or cover the entire state of Texas with almost 4 inches (10 centimeters) of water, he calculated. They had heeded officials' warnings that the storm was treacherous, with record-setting rains and storm surges not seen in North Carolina in decades.\n\nThe small town of Hamlet in Richmond County, North Carolina, for example, is full of toxic emitters: within its borders are a chicken processing plant, an energy company and a wood pellet manufacturer that broke ground within the past few years. \"We got thrown into mailboxes, houses, trees\", said Holt, who had stayed at home because of a doctor's appointment that was later canceled.

Just the thought can seem daunting to many. \u00a0So before you invest, educate yourself about the basics of buying shares. What are your\u00a0reasons for investing in the stock market? Making money is probably at, or near the top of the reasons list.\u00a0 Maybe you want to increase your retirement funds or finance a child\u2019s college education.\u00a0 What are your reasons for stock market investing?\n\nKnow Your Risk Tolerance Level\n\nIf you have $25k to invest, how much of it should you invest in shares?\u00a0 Are you prepared to risk the entire $25k and if not, what portion are you willing to risk?\n\nWhich Shares and How to Buy Them?\n\nThere are three basic types of shares:\n\n 1. Individual Shares are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).\u00a0 You will need a stockbroker in order to purchase individual shares.\n 2. Managed Funds can be bought directly from the fund manager; they do not require the services of a stockbroker.\n 3. A Whole Portfolio is comprised of a selection of asset classes from various sources.\n \u2022 There are four basic ways to buy shares:\n 1. Initial Public Offering (IPO) happens when a company lists on the share market.\u00a0 Investors buy shares at a set price published in the Company Prospectus.\n 2. Off Market shares are purchased through a transfer of ownership such as between family members.\n 3. Capital Raisings occurs when a company sells shares to raise additional funds.\n 4. On Market is the purchase of individual shares that are being publicly traded in the stock market.\n \u2022 Stockbroker Choices\n 1. The Internet has changed the process of Stock market investing considerably.\u00a0 You or your stockbroker completes a trade transaction electronically.\n 2.

Seventy people had to be pulled from a collapsing hotel at the height of the storm, and many more who defied evacuation orders were hoping to be rescued.\n\nIn North Carolina, the city of New Bern was particularly hard hit.\n\nWILMINGTON: Florence barreled into the Carolina coast and moved inland on Friday, knocking down trees, overflowing rivers, dumping sheets of rain and leading to the death of five people before it was downgraded to a tropical storm still capable of wreaking havoc. The city said two FEMA teams were working on swift-water rescues and more were on the way.\n\nThough weakened, Florence remains a very large, slow and unsafe storm as it swirls over the Carolinas.\n\n\n\nView of Florence in Wilmington, N.C., on Friday.\n\nPeople around the Carolinas are being told that say they can buy flood insurance policy right now that will cover damage done by Florence, according to FEMA. That's enough to fill the Chesapeake Bay or cover the entire state of Texas with almost 4 inches (10 centimeters) of water, he calculated. They had heeded officials' warnings that the storm was treacherous, with record-setting rains and storm surges not seen in North Carolina in decades.\n\nThe small town of Hamlet in Richmond County, North Carolina, for example, is full of toxic emitters: within its borders are a chicken processing plant, an energy company and a wood pellet manufacturer that broke ground within the past few years. \"We got thrown into mailboxes, houses, trees\", said Holt, who had stayed at home because of a doctor's appointment that was later canceled. She was eventually rescued by a boat crew; 140 more awaited assistance.<|endoftext|>Bill Text: MD HB667 | 2021 | Regular Session | Introduced\n\nBill Title: General Provisions - State Song - Repeal\n\nSpectrum: Partisan Bill (Democrat 1-0)\n\nStatus: (Introduced) 2021-02-05 - Hearing 2/24 at 1:30 p.m. [HB667 Detail]\n\nDownload: Maryland-2021-HB667-Introduced.pdf<|endoftext|>Investing,Personal Finance,Portfolio Management,Shares\n\nBuying Shares for Beginners\n\n10 Sep , 2014 \u00a0\n\nNikhil (Nik) Sreedhar\nFollow Me\n\nNikhil (Nik) Sreedhar\n\nFounder at ProAdviser\nNikhil's dream job is to be an exotic car salesman.

Just the thought can seem daunting to many. \u00a0So before you invest, educate yourself about the basics of buying shares. What are your\u00a0reasons for investing in the stock market? Making money is probably at, or near the top of the reasons list.\u00a0 Maybe you want to increase your retirement funds or finance a child\u2019s college education.\u00a0 What are your reasons for stock market investing?\n\nKnow Your Risk Tolerance Level\n\nIf you have $25k to invest, how much of it should you invest in shares?\u00a0 Are you prepared to risk the entire $25k and if not, what portion are you willing to risk?\n\nWhich Shares and How to Buy Them?\n\nThere are three basic types of shares:\n\n 1. Individual Shares are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).\u00a0 You will need a stockbroker in order to purchase individual shares.\n 2. Managed Funds can be bought directly from the fund manager; they do not require the services of a stockbroker.\n 3. A Whole Portfolio is comprised of a selection of asset classes from various sources.\n \u2022 There are four basic ways to buy shares:\n 1. Initial Public Offering (IPO) happens when a company lists on the share market.\u00a0 Investors buy shares at a set price published in the Company Prospectus.\n 2. Off Market shares are purchased through a transfer of ownership such as between family members.\n 3. Capital Raisings occurs when a company sells shares to raise additional funds.\n 4. On Market is the purchase of individual shares that are being publicly traded in the stock market.\n \u2022 Stockbroker Choices\n 1. The Internet has changed the process of Stock market investing considerably.\u00a0 You or your stockbroker completes a trade transaction electronically.\n 2.

Cue freakouts galore, but the bat leaves the boat and heads toward the island\u2026\n\n\u2026where it heads right for the Black and Flame!\n\nSimultaneously they turned to the herd and the cliffs beyond.

Missing, they made a lightning turn, streaking with the bat down the valley. Far beyond them raced the herd, the mares screaming as if they would never stop.\n\nThey chase the vampire bat up and down the valley for a while but don\u2019t kill it; it zooms off somewhere into the darkness.\n\nThe two stallions stood alongside each other quietly, knowing that for a while danger to them and the herd was over. Together they would maintain a vigil throughout the night. They were terribly tired but their breathing was regular once more and came without effort. Soon the vampire would attack again and they must be rested and ready for him.\n\nSure enough, the vampire bat attacks again in the night and this time he gets Flame. He attaches himself to Flame\u2019s back, and Flame goes down trying to get rid of him.\n\n[The Black] grabbed the vampire by its outstretched wings, shaking it loose from the other stallion, and flung it to the ground. Then he struck hard, using both forefeet, until the enemy was dead.\n\n\nAt that precise moment, Alec and Henry and the poor long suffering boat owner are trawling off the coast of Azul Island and about to head away \u2013 when a stray gust of wind brings Alec\u2019s scent to the island, and the Black can tell it\u2019s him!\n\nHe cleared it with one magnificent leap, never breaking stride, never slowing in his mad rush to join the boy he loved. Only when he reached the outer wall of the island did he come to a stop, a look of indecision in his eyes.\n\nThe Black leaves the same way he came, through the hidden sea entrance, and swims out past the coral reef looking for Alec. He can\u2019t find him, and so instead circles the island and comes ashore on the sand spit that\u2019s the only visible part of the island. He\u2019s hanging out there, thinking that he missed the boat (literally) when on their very last circle of the island, Alec spots him!\n\nIt\u2019s actually kind of a great moment.\n\nAlec suddenly let out a yell that carried sharp and clear across the water. It sent a chill over Henry or never before had he heard such a yell come from Alec. But then, never before had there been such a reunion as this!\n\nThe book pretty much ends there, as they leave Azul Island.\n\nSo, the Black is now up to two plane crashes and fights to the death against a bull moose, giant squid, and vampire bat.\n\nDid you remember this book? Did the meeting between the Black and Flame live up to its billing? Are you with Alec in being irrationally terrified of vampire bats ore more like everyone\u2019s favorite island vet who just sees them as part of life?

Seed germination is accompanied by a characteristic change of the GDH-isoenzyme pattern. Seeds contain seven isoenzymes, which gradually decrease in number during germination. At the same time a pattern of new isoenzymes becomes visible. The seed pattern is called GDH-I and the later appearing pattern GDH-II. GDH-I is characteristic for the cotyledons, whereas GDH-II is the typical pattern of the root system. Shoots produce a mixed pattern composed of the GDH-II isoenzymes as well as some GDH-I isoenzymes.These isoenzyme patterns are organ specific. No qualitative change occurs during further development of the plants and during growth in the presence of different inorganic and organic N-sources in the culture medium.All the individual isoenzymes are found predominantly in the particulate fraction. They represent stable forms which are not altered by variation of the conditions of enzyme extraction or during enzyme purification. Re-electrophoresis of the individual isoenzymes following elution from the polyacrylamide gels reveals only one specific band. The molecular weights of all the distinctive isoenzymes are identical.There is some evidence that the different isoenzymes represent conformational forms of one enzyme, and it is postulated that the GDH-I isoenzymes are correlated to a normal metabolic (or catabolic) function of the enzyme, whereas the GDH-II isoenzymes are responsible for a primarily anabolic function of glutamic dehydrogenase.\n\n\nSupplemental Content\n\nLoading ...\nSupport Center<|endoftext|>The following are multiple choice questions (with answers) about security studies.\n\nWhy, in the contemporary studies of security, is the subject of energy security so important?\nA.

It's Gucci's 85th anniversary, and Giannini's thoughts had probably been set in motion by flicking through paparazzi photos of the leggy likes of Ursula Andress and Britt Ekland, shopping at the company's Rome branch. But in the end, what she put on the runway had more to do with her efforts to broaden the brand's accessibility to young women than with reciting the history.\n\nThe collection looked best when Giannini stuck to graphic shifts. Decorated with hexagons of silver beading on white, they were worn with cute silver space-age flats. A few long, patchwork-print Empire scarf dresses\u2014a revisiting of an idea in her first resort collection\u2014had a similarly unforced appeal. She also showed refabricated updates of the skinny pants, boxy jackets, and low-heeled Beatle boots that were a hit for spring. Ultimately, though, the pressure to show a variety of potential hot sellers made for a lack of coherence. A puzzling passage of folkloric, vaguely Tyrolean printed dresses in the middle seemed to have nothing much to do with the rest, nor did it make any connection to trends emerging elsewhere. Not to say these looks won't be nice for a girly vacation come next summer, but to put forward a stronger point of view, Giannini needs to learn what's for retail racks, and what makes a concise statement in a show.<|endoftext|>Gig review: Monochrome Set, Glasgow\n\nMonochrome Set: Pretty pensive performance.

In fact, anyone can do it by just having a smartphone.\n\nThat's exactly what thousands of people have done after stumbling upon Poshmark, a smartphone app that allows users to sell their stuff and make some quick cash.\n\nPoshmark connects users by allowing them to shop in each other's closets anytime they wish. Once an account is created, all you have to do is take a picture of an item you want to see, write a description and upload it. When another user likes what you have, they make you an offer.\n\nIf you accept it, all you have to do is package it up, sent it away and wait for your cash.\n\nOne local user, Kenita Calhoun, has already sold hundreds of dollars in merchandise. Not only is she a successful seller, though, she's hooked on buying as well. She calls it her \"Posh Karma\" - she thinks if she buys from others, they'll return the favor.\n\n\"With Poshmark, it's more a sense of openness and love,\" she said. \"We all share the same passion for fashion.\"\n\n\nRecommended For You\ncomments powered by Disqus<|endoftext|>Frida Giannini decided to steer Gucci out of the seventies disco for spring, further away from the hot-and-sexy territory so emphatically occupied by Tom Ford. \"I've been thinking about the early sixties, and a few things from the archive,\" she said of a show that began with short black coats and dresses piped in purple, orange, and red and that was grounded with block-heeled flats. It's Gucci's 85th anniversary, and Giannini's thoughts had probably been set in motion by flicking through paparazzi photos of the leggy likes of Ursula Andress and Britt Ekland, shopping at the company's Rome branch. But in the end, what she put on the runway had more to do with her efforts to broaden the brand's accessibility to young women than with reciting the history.\n\nThe collection looked best when Giannini stuck to graphic shifts. Decorated with hexagons of silver beading on white, they were worn with cute silver space-age flats. A few long, patchwork-print Empire scarf dresses\u2014a revisiting of an idea in her first resort collection\u2014had a similarly unforced appeal. She also showed refabricated updates of the skinny pants, boxy jackets, and low-heeled Beatle boots that were a hit for spring. Ultimately, though, the pressure to show a variety of potential hot sellers made for a lack of coherence. A puzzling passage of folkloric, vaguely Tyrolean printed dresses in the middle seemed to have nothing much to do with the rest, nor did it make any connection to trends emerging elsewhere. Not to say these looks won't be nice for a girly vacation come next summer, but to put forward a stronger point of view, Giannini needs to learn what's for retail racks, and what makes a concise statement in a show.<|endoftext|>Gig review: Monochrome Set, Glasgow\n\nMonochrome Set: Pretty pensive performance.

The phosphates used in most laundry detergents are a significant source of pollution in the United States, especially where there are waterways. This is where innovation meets demand. New commercial laundry systems change the detergent game, by changing the amount of water and detergent required in each cycle. New commercial laundry machines, such as the Hydrofinity add XOrbs which lessen the amount and temperature of the water needed and therefore reduces the amount of detergent.\n\nThere is a slew of other companies who are tackling the detergent problem, like Method, Restore, Seventh Generation who are developing innovations of environmentally green detergents. Expect these innovations to change how laundry, commercial and residential, is processed and cleaned.\n\nMechanical Action: Smart Laundry Machines\n\nNew smart laundry machines are increasing efficiency and reducing labor costs by tracking usage data, identifying bottlenecks and inefficiencies, and providing real-time communications. These changes take what has been a complicated and costly process and makes it simple.\n\nSmart technology removes the chaos, providing unparalleled organization and tracking methods.

The answer is environmentally friendly innovations that save time, money, water, and energy. A good example is the EPA's WaterSense label which ensures that the product or service uses at least 20 percent less water than the average prototype.\n\nTime Savings: Technology and Efficiency\n\nThe introduction of smart laundry and technologically advanced machinery is significantly reducing time inefficiencies which translates into money because time is money right? This creates a business environment for commercial laundry services such as Austin Linen Service to provide better customer experiences, provide state-of-the-art business intelligence, to be equipped to be green, and to track utility usage as well as delivery to the customers front door.\n\nThe future for Austin Linen Service has never looked so bright --- and the same can be said for your laundry!<|endoftext|>What Are Normal Troponin Levels?\n\nBlend Images - LWA/Larry Williams/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images\n\nUnder normal circumstances, the Mayo Clinic states that troponin levels are very low and undetectable in the blood, usually less than 0.01 nanograms per milliliter.

You can feel the script hit the various \"plot points\" as it goes along. Maybe some of those were even added in to an older script to make it \"current.\"\n\n \u2022 Bad-guy US troops turn out to be contractors (Blackwater!)\n \u2022 Bad things are, yes, about oil\n \u2022 We are told, explicitly, that high command knew about abu ghraib (but only the soldiers took the fall)\n \u2022 The 9/11 Commission report sits, featured, on Mark's desk and he wonders 'what lies THEY will try to tell us today' (thankfully the 9/11 tragedy didn't turn out to be orchestrated by the US govt)\n \u2022 When told about the president's life being in danger, the shooter says, laconically, \"I don't like him much. Didn't like the last one much either.\"\n \u2022 There are some subtle allusions to Ruby Ridge--something that seems like pandering to a certain market segment who'll recognize those allusions immediately\n \u2022 There are token WMD notes--just to make sure the audience is following along: The government lies like a rug\n \u2022 A bad senator hunts in a Dick Cheney outfit\n \u2022 There is government sanctioned torture\n\nAnd so on. The idea that the government is composed of a bunch of lying bastards isn't new, and it is powerful. Cinematicly addressing this, however, requires a level of fineness that most predominantly action movies lack. Films like The Parallax View and The Manchurian Candidate were low on action and either high on satire or, well, dark dramas. Today, though, the idea that there's a government conspiracy seems to almost go without question: it's no longer ground-breaking enough just to have one ... you gotta punch it up. Usually with explosions.\n\nThen there's the end. The end is a sequence of highly unlikely events where the main characters try gambits that either don't work ... or work too well for unexpected reasons. I'm okay with--today used to--not following the last 15 minutes of the movie until the punch-line is delivered. They have to make it seem like the villains have a chance before the good-guy's final plan springs into action. However with Shooter, the end is a very literal message that today's world is the wild west--and it needs a guy with a gun to clean it up.\n\nThis, combined with a sort of populist conspiracy message (Ruby Ridge, media-manipulated-lying, weapons of mass destruction, etc.) makes me uneasy: are we to take away from the movie the idea that what we really need is a one-man-army regime change? Or that, if the conspiracy theorists were right that those actions would be appropriate. But since they aren't, it's just harmless entertainment? Or that the movie is playing on our frustration at the current political climate in a calculated and manipulative fashion? Hey--I think that's the one!\n\nWhen I look at the more serious (maybe even preachy) message-films like Rendition (about the transfer of prisoners to black-prisons out of the country where they can be tortured) I wonder if there are only two answers Hollywood can provide us with: helpless rage or armed resistance? For all the technical sophistication that Shooter's subject matter experts bring to the table about weapons, the final message seems unnecessarily dumbed down. It'd be interesting if the FBI had come through in the end and rolled up the conspiracy and taken down the powerful politicians behind it (maybe Whalberg could arrange an embarrassing homosexual bathroom encounter to take down the US Senator who is rife with badness? That seems to be a charge they can't suppress.)\n\nBut that would be a different movie.\n\n\nFor more reviews please visit our film/television review section.\n\nShooter images \u00a9 Paramount Pictures.

Autumn offers many curriculum ideas that you can incorporate throughout the fall.\n\nMath Activities\n\n \u2022 Have teams of students estimate the number of seeds in a pumpkin, then cut the pumpkins open and let the kids count how many seeds there were.\n \u2022 Visit an apple orchard and have your students estimate the number of apples in a tree. Then count to see how close the class was.\n \u2022 Discuss fractions by cutting apples into thirds, fourths, quarters, etc.\n\nArt Activities\n\n \u2022 Find a tree on your school\u2019s grounds. Have the students name the tree and draw a picture how it looks at the start of the year. Every few weeks go back to the tree and have them draw another picture. At the end of the season, have your students look at their pictures and observe how the tree changes during the season.\n \u2022 Cut an apple down the middle and then cut a groove on the rounded side so the apples are easy to hold. Dip the flat side in ink or paint, then make apple prints on paper or fabric.\n\nScience Activities\n\n \u2022 Study skeletons and how the human body\u2019s bones work together.\n \u2022 Bring a sunflower to class and have the students study its parts. Have the students guess how many sunflower seeds it contains, then gives a prize to the student with the closest answer.\n\nEnglish Activities\n\n \u2022 Place a long strip of paper on the wall. Start a story on the left side of the paper strip, such as \u201cOnce upon a time, there was a scarecrow, a\u00a0pumpkin, and a farmer \u2026\u201d Then, one at a time, students can continue the store adding only three, four or five words at a time.\n \u2022 Students write a Fall poem and explore rhyming patterns or have them create\u00a0an acrostic poem using autumn-themed words.\n\nOther Activities\n\n \u2022 Prepare a fall recipe in class. Pumpkin muffins, apple cake, baked apples or other autumn-inspired foods are great choices. Have them write the recipe and have them bring it home to try with their parents.\n \u2022 Go on a field trip to an orchard, farm, pumpkin patch, or other sites where crops are ready to be\u00a0harvested.\n \u2022 Play some pumpkin", "base_doc": " branch with leaves on it and spray-paints to get a natural pattern of green and dark green: and this time doesn't explain it to the audience).\n\nIf I have any complaint with the craft of the movie it's this: the movie dips a toe in the water of having a message--and then retreats back to being an action movie. You can feel the script hit the various \"plot points\" as it goes along. Maybe some of those were even added in to an older script to make it \"current.\"\n\n \u2022 Bad-guy US troops turn out to be contractors (Blackwater!)\n \u2022 Bad things are, yes, about oil\n \u2022 We are told, explicitly, that high command knew about abu ghraib (but only the soldiers took the fall)\n \u2022 The 9/11 Commission report sits, featured, on Mark's desk and he wonders 'what lies THEY will try to tell us today' (thankfully the 9/11 tragedy didn't turn out to be orchestrated by the US govt)\n \u2022 When told about the president's life being in danger, the shooter says, laconically, \"I don't like him much. Didn't like the last one much either.\"\n \u2022 There are some subtle allusions to Ruby Ridge--something that seems like pandering to a certain market segment who'll recognize those allusions immediately\n \u2022 There are token WMD notes--just to make sure the audience is following along: The government lies like a rug\n \u2022 A bad senator hunts in a Dick Cheney outfit\n \u2022 There is government sanctioned torture\n\nAnd so on. The idea that the government is composed of a bunch of lying bastards isn't new, and it is powerful. Cinematicly addressing this, however, requires a level of fineness that most predominantly action movies lack. Films like The Parallax View and The Manchurian Candidate were low on action and either high on satire or, well, dark dramas. Today, though, the idea that there's a government conspiracy seems to almost go without question: it's no longer ground-breaking enough just to have one ... you gotta punch it up. Usually with explosions.\n\nThen there's the end. The end is a sequence of highly unlikely events where the main characters try gambits that either don't work ... or work too well for unexpected reasons. I'm okay with--today used to--not following the last 15 minutes of the movie until the punch-line is delivered. They have to make it seem like the villains have a chance before the good-guy's final plan springs into action. However with Shooter, the end is a very literal message that today's world is the wild west--and it needs a guy with a gun to clean it up.\n\nThis, combined with a sort of populist conspiracy message (Ruby Ridge, media-manipulated-lying, weapons of mass destruction, etc.) makes me uneasy: are we to take away from the movie the idea that what we really need is a one-man-army regime change? Or that, if the conspiracy theorists were right that those actions would be appropriate. But since they aren't, it's just harmless entertainment? Or that the movie is playing on our frustration at the current political climate in a calculated and manipulative fashion? Hey--I think that's the one!\n\nWhen I look at the more serious (maybe even preachy) message-films like Rendition (about the transfer of prisoners to black-prisons out of the country where they can be tortured) I wonder if there are only two answers Hollywood can provide us with: helpless rage or armed resistance? For all the technical sophistication that Shooter's subject matter experts bring to the table about weapons, the final message seems unnecessarily dumbed down. It'd be interesting if the FBI had come through in the end and rolled up the conspiracy and taken down the powerful politicians behind it (maybe Whalberg could arrange an embarrassing homosexual bathroom encounter to take down the US Senator who is rife with badness? That seems to be a charge they can't suppress.)\n\nBut that would be a different movie.\n\n\nFor more reviews please visit our film/television review section.\n\nShooter images \u00a9 Paramount Pictures.

Many fables regarding poetic justice end with the deceptive antagonist (who gets his comeuppance during the tale) deciding to live a different life. Is this simply fiction? --anon.\n\nThere is no irony in voting. We vote deliberately to make a good decision. If we were wrong, that is unfortunate, but there is no justice in that. We do not defraud ourselves. Our votes are our own. We cannot lie to ourselves secretly. Only historians and outsiders make the judgment of fault, of entire societies, but that glosses over the implication that really it was a few people in a society that duped a few other people. Individuals are atomic; it's important to remember that when laying blame. Individuals do not feel they voted immorally. -- SunirShah\n\nI strongly disagree that we cannot lie to ourselves secretly. Did Ebenezer Scrooge have an accurate picture of himself? Did Richard Nixon? I absolutely do not believe that people are always rational actors (and even if they were, they operate under limited information.) The mechanisms of denial are extremely broad, far beyond the scope of this page. Perhaps it's best just to leave it as is for now and refactor. - anon.\n\nVoting as design\n\nIn general, it's been proven hard to acquire a vote by telling the voter he or she is stupid for voting for their own candidate. Voters won't vote for representatives that condescend to them, for obvious reasons. Moreover, voters don't vote for outsiders, but rather people who represent them, thus taking a stance of PoeticJustice will only serve to alienate you from the very group you seek to influence and therefore it is counter-productive.\n\nFor the purposes of this forum, we're trying to make decisions about how to structure our social environments. Choosing a structure that affords bad decisions is malfeasance, and rationalizing it by pushing blame wholly onto the participants is pointless. Even if they did make mistakes, the goal is to limit those kinds of mistakes. Perhaps better education is required, but it may also be that the system itself is wrong. -- SunirShah\n\nRight! However, these are both two excellent reasons why voting is not evil. Or, perhaps more precisely, IteratedVoting? is not evil. Education through experience or other means improves the results of voting, where it may not improve other processes. And because TheAudience of the voting population is in control of their fate, TheAuthors of voting proposals have to (appear to?) respect the intelligence of TheAudience. The short summary is that voting gives you what you want. You just have to be careful what you wish for. --anon.\n\nI'm not sure voting gives you what you want. Claiming that undermines your statement that iterated voting is better, since that only would be better if the first vote was imperfect and needed correcting with a second, which needed correcting with the third. Rather, voting is imperfect. I claim voting is evil because people think voting is the be all and end all of democracy. Almost always a vote is unnecessary and usually counterproductive. Votes are not heard louder when reduced to a number, but instead squelched. The person who chooses the voting system then has the most power. I'll admit voting is necessary to run states, particularly since the population of voters is large enough to smooth out noise, but I refuse to admit that voting makes any sense at the level we practice here on MeatballWiki or projects that look to MeatballWiki for inspiration. Rather, I think there is usually enough time and enough resources to design solutions rather than force solutions. -- SunirShah\n\nThe claim about iterated voting only undermines the statement that voting gives you what you want if you believe that nobody ever changes or refines what they want, or gets new information about a better way to get what they want. That nobody ever says \"hey, wait a minute, this is not working out the way I wanted it to\". Practical experience does not bear out this belief. - anon.\n\nI really dislike this kind of discussion about VotingIsGood and VotingIsEvil - as if this were a question of GoodAndEvil. Or a question that is looking for the answer \"yes\" or \"no\". There are millions of possible needs for decisions and there are hundreds or thousands of ways to get a decision by voting. So sometimes voting will more effective and sometimes less effective as other ways of decision making. Half of the problem is that if we talk about voting here, this is perceived as the wish to promote voting here for the Meatball community (Do you honestly think the readers of MeatballWiki are that dense? Political philosophy classes which discuss voting are never democracies and nobody pretends they are.) - which is not the case. Voting in online communities is uncommon, democracy in online communities is uncommon. But this is nothing special, because even if we feel to live in democracies, voting in normal communities is uncommon and democracy in normal communities is uncommon as well. Do we vote when big projects are built? Do we vote about which immigrants are allowed to settle in our states? Have we voted about what children have to learn at school? -- What does that mean? Perhaps that we are at the very beginning of democracy? -- I think the importance of online communities with respect to voting and democracy is that they make excellent breeding systems to test and develop new ways of cooperation and democracy. Maybe of a million online communities only 10000 will grow a society and need democracy. But the development within these 10000 communities will be at least 10 times faster than in real world communities. This will accellerate democratic devlopment by a factor of 1000. I think this means that democratic development will become driven by online community developments within the next 10-20 years. The outcome will be well tested and it will be better than what we have. So there is no point in saying VotingIsEvil. And there is no need to apply voting here. But it will be impossible to avoid discussing voting here, if this place is about developments in communities. -- By the way the perception of ArrowsTheorem as important is IMHO real nonsense. If only perfect systems should be applied, then we all as imperfect humans shouldn't be here, and no software - lacking perfect programming languages - should have ever been written. -- HelmutLeitner\n\nI'd love to really talk about voting, in a serious way. I wrote Wiki:VotingPatterns a long time ago partly for that reason. However, most people I've found when talking about voting often do so in exasperation as some way to shortcut some decision in their favour. This page is a reaction against that, as is ArrowsTheorem (or at least why it is used here). I am also adamantly opposed to voting on Meatball for a reason: it's a motivation to learn the rich variety of ways to DevolvePower aside from voting, which I have a hunch is not the most effective. I really don't want to take shortcuts here. It's painful, but it's enlightening. -- SunirShah\n\nI have no objection what-so-ever to separating the issues of Voting from those of meatball. In fact, I really have never thought of them as being 'joined' in any way.\n\nIn my view; Voting, Elections, Rights, membership, Trust, Representation, etc. can be seen as facets of decision-making, which is an extremely broad Subject that encompasses a great many Topics and Perspectives. In VotingSystemsCollaboration?, Helmut suggested that we initially strive for as general a system as possible. I agreed, not because a completely general system may ever result, but because a full understanding of the many issues and their relationships will, in itself, be helpful.\n\nP.S. - The preceding comment \"... some decision in their favor\" is one that I would also like to develop further, but I suspect that adding it to this page may not be correct since it could further confuse what is here.

This added a raft of complication, but it had the advantage that Windows95 files could still be accessed and used by MS\u2013DOS.\n\n\"But, sir, we use our Commodore computers. So, why are you sharing with us this fascinating history?\"\n\nBecause, dear reader, like it or not, we have inherited this madness, by way of SD2IEC. And I am going to do my best to try to explain how it works and what impact it has on the C64. But first, we will review how typical or native Commodore devices and file systems work so that we have some frame of reference.\n\n\nCommodore Devices\n\nDuring my years as a diehard Mac fan (I still like the Mac, by the way,) it got really easy to poke fun at old vestiges like the fact that PCs still use C: as their primary drive letter all these years after the typical PC user has forgotten what A: and B: were even for. The Mac never had these drive letter codes. They just had, and still have, volume names. But now that I'm back in full force in the land of Commodore 8\u2013bit, mocking PC drive letters doesn't seem so clever anymore.\n\nThe organization of a C64's devices is unique to the Commodore 8\u2013bit line. All device types recognized by the KERNAL have a device number, ranging from 0 to 30.\n\nDevice I/O Device Number Secondary Address\nKeyboard Input 0\nDatasette Both 1 0, 1, 2\nRS232 Both 2\nScreen Both 3\nPrinters Output 4, 5 0, 7\nPlotters Output 6, 7\nStorage Devices Both 8...\u00a030 0, 1, 2...\u00a014, 15\n\nDevices 0 to 3 are all built\u2013in devices, controlled by software manipulation of hardware included inside the computer. And they're also described fully by the low 2 bits of the device number byte.2\n\nAll the other devices are nominally on the IEC serial bus, although it is possible for devices not on the physical serial bus to wedge themselves into this schema. This is why the first drive is usually device 8, it's the first number assigned to storage devices. While originally for a floppy drive, today it could easily be occupied by a harddrive or an SD\u2013Card\u2013based drive, etc. It was easy to mock C: on the PC, but the truth is that device #8 is essentially the C64's C: drive. An awful lot of PC software has been written that just hardcodes paths on the C: drive, just like the overwhelming majority of C64 software hardcodes device #8. (Even though that's very annoying.)\n\nAs newer storage devices were developed for the C64, they clearly followed the basic design set out by Commodore from their earliest days. The CBM file system on the original, enormous, tank\u2013like floppy drives set the conventions for the devices to come.\n\nFrom the earliest days, a device on the IEC bus could control more than one physical mechanism. The dual floppy disk drives, for example, are a single device that controls two disk drives (or units). In fact, the original KERNAL had no way to copy files from one device to another.3 Instead, you send a command to the DOS on a single device, and instruct it to copy a file from one to another of the drives under its control. To copy files between different devices, you needed a file copying program.\n\nVIC 1541 Single Drive Floppy Disk\nThe VIC\u20131541 was marketed as \"single\" drive to distinguish it from the dual drives.\n\nYou might think that because dual floppy drives are quite rare the concept of one device controlling multiple mechanisms is just a historical curiosity. All the popular drives, the ones Commodore sold by the millions, the 1541, 1541\u2013II, 1571 and 1581, are only single drive devices. Actually the concept of multiple drives controlled by a single device is alive and well. The drives became partitions. The CMD storage devices and later the IDE64 and later still the SD2IEC family all support the partitioned mechanism, and use the same DOS path and command syntax originally developed by Commodore for accessing a device's multiple drives.\n\nIDE64 and SD2IEC devices are still commercially available products, today.\n\nCommodore File Systems\n\nThus, within a device we have either drive mechanisms or partitions. And within a partition (or on a single floppy disk) we have a file system. All of Commodore's own disk drives use virtually the same file system with a few numbers tweaked, the common elements being found in different places depending on the disk's storage capacity. The storage medium is divided into some number of tracks, and each track contains some number of sectors. Each sector is 256 bytes.\n\nOn original disks there is a physical one\u2013to\u2013one mapping of logical tracks and their sectors to the physical layout of tracks and sectors on the disk's surface. Inner tracks are smaller and so they have fewer sectors than the larger outer tracks. On newer storage media the mapping of logical tracks and sectors to physical locations has become abstracted.\n\nCBM's file systems support only a single directory. (Let's not go crazy with mocking FAT16, right?! The CBM File System doesn't even support subdirectories! Hard to imagine.) The directory is formed by a linked list of sectors. The links go only one way. The first directory sector links to the second, which links to the third and so on. But the third does not link back to the second, and the second does not link back to the first. This is also how sequential files chain their data blocks together, more on this in a bit.\n\nHighlevel diagram of a 1541 disk's track/sector/block layout\n\nEach type of disk, 1541, 1571, 1581 or the older and more exotic disks, keeps its directory header block at a known or fixed track and sector. For example, the 1541 and 1571's main directory header block is always at track 18 sector 0. The 1581's is always at track 40 sector 0. The header block has a pointer to the track and sector of the first directory block, which has a pointer to the second directory block, and so on.\n\nIn addition to the directory blocks, the CBM FS also maintains a BAM, or a block allocation map. The BAM itself takes up one or more sectors, and is found at fixed places per disk type. In the layout of the BAM individual bits correspond to the blocks within a track. Whenever the DOS needs to allocate a new block, for any reason, it references the BAM to figure out which blocks are available. Then it links the new block into the file or directory chain, and marks its corresponding bit in the BAM to indicate that it's no longer available.\n\nSometimes the actual use of blocks and the BAM could get out of sync. To deal with this there is a validation procedure. Validation walks the directory tree, and walks the file chains and verifies that every block that's actually used is marked unavailable in the BAM, and unused blocks marked available. Validation was originally a program that had to be loaded from disk, but it was later included as part of the DOS found in the device's ROM.4\n\nCommodore File System Directories\n\nAn important part of the file system is what metadata it supports per file. For example, the file's name, type, size, timestamp, etc. These specifics come down to the directory structure.\n\nEach 256\u2013byte directory sector is divided into eight 32\u2013byte chunks. That would mean that each directory entry has 32 bytes to work with, right? Well, not quite. Remember that directory blocks are chained together. The first directory block can hold 8 files but if you want a 9th file it needs to allocate a new block and add it to the chain. The first two bytes of a block point to the track and sector of the next block in the chain. The problem is that this means directory entries would have an unequal number of bytes depending on where they fell by chance in the directory. The first entry in a block would have only 30 bytes, and the following 7 would have 32 bytes each. How can those first 2 bytes be useful? If a directory entry gets moved to the first slot in a block those first 2 bytes are", "base_doc": "AT enabled Windows95 to show and use long filenames, without changing the data structures of the underlying FAT16 file system.

The BAM itself takes up one or more sectors, and is found at fixed places per disk type. In the layout of the BAM individual bits correspond to the blocks within a track. Whenever the DOS needs to allocate a new block, for any reason, it references the BAM to figure out which blocks are available. Then it links the new block into the file or directory chain, and marks its corresponding bit in the BAM to indicate that it's no longer available.\n\nSometimes the actual use of blocks and the BAM could get out of sync. To deal with this there is a validation procedure. Validation walks the directory tree, and walks the file chains and verifies that every block that's actually used is marked unavailable in the BAM, and unused blocks marked available. Validation was originally a program that had to be loaded from disk, but it was later included as part of the DOS found in the device's ROM.4\n\nCommodore File System Directories\n\nAn important part of the file system is what metadata it supports per file. For example, the file's name, type, size, timestamp, etc. These specifics come down to the directory structure.\n\nEach 256\u2013byte directory sector is divided into eight 32\u2013byte chunks. That would mean that each directory entry has 32 bytes to work with, right? Well, not quite. Remember that directory blocks are chained together. The first directory block can hold 8 files but if you want a 9th file it needs to allocate a new block and add it to the chain. The first two bytes of a block point to the track and sector of the next block in the chain. The problem is that this means directory entries would have an unequal number of bytes depending on where they fell by chance in the directory. The first entry in a block would have only 30 bytes, and the following 7 would have 32 bytes each. How can those first 2 bytes be useful? If a directory entry gets moved to the first slot in a block those first 2 bytes are already spoken for.\n\nTo account for this, the first two bytes of each 32\u2013byte region are reserved. Aka, they aren't used. (7 * 2 = 14) So 14 bytes are wasted per directory block. That leaves 30 bytes per directory entry. The standard layout of the bytes in a directory entry are as follows. This is taken from the CMD HD User's Manual (Appendix C.) I'm not sure how far back in time the timestamp convention was a standard, or if CMD devised this themselves. But, it indeed became a de facto standard.\n\nTypical directory entry, this is from the CMD HD User's Manual\n\nLet's briefly go over these, to see what sort of metadata a file can have in a typical Commodore file system. (Remember, all of these offsets start 2 bytes in from a 32\u2013byte aligned region within a block.)\n\nThe 0th byte is for the CBM file type. This isn't the same as a traditional datatype, and it doesn't have a direct analog on other file systems. There are only 7 types, some of which are rarely if ever used. Because there are so few of these, they fit within the first 3 bits of this byte.

The majority of gamblers prefer slot machines since they offer an exciting, interesting and a pleasant method of getting their gambling needs filled. A lot of people who play slots are those that do not enjoy to bet. They just want to have fun while playing. There are also those who simply want to hit on new women! Either way, slot machines are fun.\n\nslot machines\n\nHowever, playing slots requires a strategy, which differs from player to player. Just like in any other games, it is important to win in slot machines as well as to lose. In casinos, winning is everything, so there is absolutely no room for thinking about how one is going to lose. It would be an easy task to become frustrated if you continue steadily to lose constantly when playing.\n\nSlots in casinos are divided into certain groups: progressive, non-progressive, straight, four-of-a-kind, three-of-a-kind and half-a-dozen. There are progressive slots that start off with a larger jackpot. Once the jackpot increases, smaller denomination coins are added onto the machine. Likewise, the device may stop having coins if it reaches a preset limit.\n\nSome casinos label slot machines with different abbreviations and names for better identification. For example, the symbols Q and A are often placed next to each other in a three or four-of-a-kind slot machines. This type is called \u201cQ\u201d for \u201cquin\u201d, while the symbols FM and HR are placed beside each other in a progressive machine. Each one of these symbols denotes a probability of winning a prize. They do not stand for the precise jackpot value but indicate the odds of winning something out of this machine. The chances of winning can differ dramatically depending on what draws the symbols.\n\nTo greatly help players identify which slots are worth playing and those are less likely to spend winnings, many online casinos have resorted to making their slots number-based. This technique allows players to identify which machine has much more likely picked up the symbol corresponding to the quantity it lands on. Although some online casinos still use real jackpots for spending prizes, others have adopted the slot machine game playing method to lessen costs. Since fewer people may likely play exactly the same machine for exactly the same symbol, this reduces the expenses incurred for gambling.\n\nSlots now have statistics associated with their probability of paying out a prize. There are numerous websites that provide statistics associated with the odds of specific slots. You can compare statistics with other slots in an effort to determine which machine is more prone to pay out a specific prize. This may also help people decide whether they should play a slot with lower odds or one with higher odds.\n\nPayout slot machines now differ in how they calculate their odds. Some casinos use a random number generator, while some depend on a computerized system. This is the reason why the payout percentages for most slot machines around the world are different. In some casinos, there is only one payout slot, while others have as many as four or five. This can help explain why the payouts for these slots vary.\n\nA number of the newest slot machines going to the market require players to spin a fortune coin. The presence of a fortune coin in the machine indicates a player has won more often than not. For this reason, this kind of slot machine is sometimes referred to as \u201clottery slots.\u201d Although video slots aren\u2019t the first selection of many professional gamblers, they have proven to be very successful for those who enjoy testing their luck. This is especially true when video slots are introduced into casinos.<|endoftext|>The following are multiple choice questions (with answers) about high school mathematics.\n\nWhat is the smallest prime whose digits sum to $19$?\nA. 5\nB. 11\nC. 17\nD. 199\nAnswer: D<|endoftext|>Afghanistan: Time To Pull The Plug\n\nMatthew Hoh, a former US Marine serving in Iraq and diplomat to Afghanistan, argued in his September 10, 2009 resignation letter to the Foreign Service that the occupation of Afghanistan is futile, and that he could no longer participate in that effort in conscience.\n\nI watched his interview on Fareed Zakaria's GPS dated November 1, and read his letter of resignation, and am now very troubled by this insider's perspective on the effectiveness of American operations, and by extension Canadian military operations, in Afghanistan.\n\nOn Afghanistan's Pashtun:\n\"To put simply: I fail to see the value or the worth in continued US casualties or expenditures of resources in support of the Afghan government in what is, truly, a 35-year old civil war. [...] a tragedy that not only pits tribes, valleys, clans, villages and families against one another, but, from at least the end of King Zahir Shah's reign, has violently and savagely pitted the urban, secular, educated and modern of Afghanistan against the rural, religious, illiterate and traditional. It is this latter group that supports the Pashtun insurgency [...] fed by what is perceived by the Pashtun people as a continued and sustained assault, going back centuries, on Pashtun land, culture, traditions and religion by internal and external enemies. The US and NATO presence and operations in Pashtun valleys and villages [...] provide an occupation force against which the insurgency is justified.\"\n--from the letter\n\nOn the mission:\n\"I do not believe any military force has ever been tasked with such a complex, opaque and Sisyphean mission as the US military has received in Afghanistan. [...] We are mortgaging our Nation's economy on a war, which, even with increased commitment, will remain a draw for years to come. Success and victory, whatever they may be, will be realized not in years, after billions more spent, but in decades and generations. The United States does not enjoy a national treasury for such success and victory.\"\n--from the letter\n\nOn containing Al Qaeda:\n\"This is an organization that is quite ephemeral. It doesn't really exist. Occupying a country is not going to defeat them. It's the proverbial fly versus a sledgehammer. [...] In a population of twenty to thirty million, how are we going to keep a hundred people from being disaffected and joining some fringe group? It's impossible. Furthermore, occupying a location only provides justification and only lends credence to the goals of that organization. It only inspires young Moslem men to want to defend their culture against an occupying army, which is what we are.\"\n--from the interview\n\nOn increasing the American troop commitment:\n\"Increasing troops is only going to fuel insurgency. We need to stop our combat operations in areas where we are fighting people only because they are fighting us. Otherwise, it's going to be 2013, we're going to look back four years, and we're going to say, 'What did we accomplish? What did we get? What was this worth? What did we get out of this?' We might be able to stabilize the Afghan government for five to ten years, with a lot of resources. I believe we could militarily defeat the [Qadashura? unclear] in two to three years with a lot of resources and a lot of debt. However, is it worth it? What do we get out of it?

Your physician could order one blood test to see if you do have this disease leischmaniasis. Please get this checked out. Leischmaniasis can be treated with antimony. So sorry about losing the paper.

The majority of gamblers prefer slot machines since they offer an exciting, interesting and a pleasant method of getting their gambling needs filled. A lot of people who play slots are those that do not enjoy to bet. They just want to have fun while playing. There are also those who simply want to hit on new women! Either way, slot machines are fun.\n\nslot machines\n\nHowever, playing slots requires a strategy, which differs from player to player. Just like in any other games, it is important to win in slot machines as well as to lose. In casinos, winning is everything, so there is absolutely no room for thinking about how one is going to lose. It would be an easy task to become frustrated if you continue steadily to lose constantly when playing.\n\nSlots in casinos are divided into certain groups: progressive, non-progressive, straight, four-of-a-kind, three-of-a-kind and half-a-dozen. There are progressive slots that start off with a larger jackpot. Once the jackpot increases, smaller denomination coins are added onto the machine. Likewise, the device may stop having coins if it reaches a preset limit.\n\nSome casinos label slot machines with different abbreviations and names for better identification. For example, the symbols Q and A are often placed next to each other in a three or four-of-a-kind slot machines. This type is called \u201cQ\u201d for \u201cquin\u201d, while the symbols FM and HR are placed beside each other in a progressive machine. Each one of these symbols denotes a probability of winning a prize. They do not stand for the precise jackpot value but indicate the odds of winning something out of this machine. The chances of winning can differ dramatically depending on what draws the symbols.\n\nTo greatly help players identify which slots are worth playing and those are less likely to spend winnings, many online casinos have resorted to making their slots number-based. This technique allows players to identify which machine has much more likely picked up the symbol corresponding to the quantity it lands on. Although some online casinos still use real jackpots for spending prizes, others have adopted the slot machine game playing method to lessen costs. Since fewer people may likely play exactly the same machine for exactly the same symbol, this reduces the expenses incurred for gambling.\n\nSlots now have statistics associated with their probability of paying out a prize. There are numerous websites that provide statistics associated with the odds of specific slots. You can compare statistics with other slots in an effort to determine which machine is more prone to pay out a specific prize. This may also help people decide whether they should play a slot with lower odds or one with higher odds.\n\nPayout slot machines now differ in how they calculate their odds. Some casinos use a random number generator, while some depend on a computerized system. This is the reason why the payout percentages for most slot machines around the world are different. In some casinos, there is only one payout slot, while others have as many as four or five. This can help explain why the payouts for these slots vary.\n\nA number of the newest slot machines going to the market require players to spin a fortune coin. The presence of a fortune coin in the machine indicates a player has won more often than not. For this reason, this kind of slot machine is sometimes referred to as \u201clottery slots.\u201d Although video slots aren\u2019t the first selection of many professional gamblers, they have proven to be very successful for those who enjoy testing their luck. This is especially true when video slots are introduced into casinos.<|endoftext|>Afghanistan: Time To Pull The Plug\n\nMatthew Hoh, a former US Marine serving in Iraq and diplomat to Afghanistan, argued in his September 10, 2009 resignation letter to the Foreign Service that the occupation of Afghanistan is futile, and that he could no longer participate in that effort in conscience.\n\nI watched his interview on Fareed Zakaria's GPS dated November 1, and read his letter of resignation, and am now very troubled by this insider's perspective on the effectiveness of American operations, and by extension Canadian military operations, in Afghanistan.\n\nOn Afghanistan's Pashtun:\n\"To put simply: I fail to see the value or the worth in continued US casualties or expenditures of resources in support of the Afghan government in what is, truly, a 35-year old civil war. [...] a tragedy that not only pits tribes, valleys, clans, villages and families against one another, but, from at least the end of King Zahir Shah's reign, has violently and savagely pitted the urban, secular, educated and modern of Afghanistan against the rural, religious, illiterate and traditional. It is this latter group that supports the Pashtun insurgency [...] fed by what is perceived by the Pashtun people as a continued and sustained assault, going back centuries, on Pashtun land, culture, traditions and religion by internal and external enemies. The US and NATO presence and operations in Pashtun valleys and villages [...] provide an occupation force against which the insurgency is justified.\"\n--from the letter\n\nOn the mission:\n\"I do not believe any military force has ever been tasked with such a complex, opaque and Sisyphean mission as the US military has received in Afghanistan. [...] We are mortgaging our Nation's economy on a war, which, even with increased commitment, will remain a draw for years to come. Success and victory, whatever they may be, will be realized not in years, after billions more spent, but in decades and generations. The United States does not enjoy a national treasury for such success and victory.\"\n--from the letter\n\nOn containing Al Qaeda:\n\"This is an organization that is quite ephemeral. It doesn't really exist. Occupying a country is not going to defeat them. It's the proverbial fly versus a sledgehammer. [...] In a population of twenty to thirty million, how are we going to keep a hundred people from being disaffected and joining some fringe group? It's impossible. Furthermore, occupying a location only provides justification and only lends credence to the goals of that organization. It only inspires young Moslem men to want to defend their culture against an occupying army, which is what we are.\"\n--from the interview\n\nOn increasing the American troop commitment:\n\"Increasing troops is only going to fuel insurgency. We need to stop our combat operations in areas where we are fighting people only because they are fighting us. Otherwise, it's going to be 2013, we're going to look back four years, and we're going to say, 'What did we accomplish? What did we get? What was this worth? What did we get out of this?' We might be able to stabilize the Afghan government for five to ten years, with a lot of resources. I believe we could militarily defeat the [Qadashura? unclear] in two to three years with a lot of resources and a lot of debt. However, is it worth it? What do we get out of it? What's the benefit of us doing it? It doesn't politically defeat the insurgency in the south, and more importantly, it doesn't defeat Al Qaeda.\"\n--from the interview\n\nGo here to view CBC's roll call of Canadian Forces soldiers killed serving in the Afghanistan mission.\n\nMatthew Hoh Resignation Letter -\n\n", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 103198, "pt_loc": 20522913, "pt_shuffle_idx": 180100844, "doc_index_f": 282329891, "doc_index_l": 282329893, "offset_f": 724, "offset_l": 798, "pt_injection_pos": 2, "pt_window_offset": 2, "pt_injection_len": 51, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [430, 820, 799]} -{"pt_doc": " would work best since I can expect certain things.\n\n\nPerhaps a demo game of Advance Wars would be better, since it could work on a console without a graphical server.

Our age, gender, size, and body composition all influence how much we need to eat to meet our basal needs. One common myth is that larger body sizes have slower metabolisms. But the reverse is actually true (provided there is no underlying medical condition); a smaller body size means there is less of you and as such, you need fewer calories to support your basal needs. It is for this reason that weight loss results in a similar or slower metabolic rate.\u00a0Using myself as an example, my measured metabolic rate", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 108106, "pt_loc": 36498503, "pt_shuffle_idx": 128665865, "doc_index_f": 201659486, "doc_index_l": 201659491, "offset_f": 506, "offset_l": 700, "pt_injection_pos": 3, "pt_window_offset": 77, "pt_injection_len": 94, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [268, 290, 348, 377, 65, 701]} -{"pt_doc": " Our Lifetime\" and refers readers to a phone number where parishes can set up group screenings. \"The more people who see 'The Passion of the Christ,' the greater evangelizing impact it will have worldwide--and the more movies of this kind will emerge from profit-oriented Hollywood,\" writes Tom Allen, the site's editor.\n\nPopular Catholic weblogs like markshea.blogspot.com are also plugging the movie as an evangelization opportunity.<|endoftext|>The following are multiple choice questions (with answers) about professional accounting.\n\nAn auditor has substantial doubt about the entity\u2019s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time because of negative cash flows and working capital deficiencies.

The Death And Resurrection Theory\n\nAug 1, 2012\nOriginally published on August 2, 2012 11:29 am\n\nUpdated Aug. 2, 2012: We have added an update to this post, which you can find below the original. Click here to read it.\n\nHere's a dangerous, crazy thought from an otherwise sober (and very eminent) biologist, Bernd Heinrich. He's thinking about moths and butterflies, and how they radically change shape as they grow, from little wormy, caterpillar critters to airborne beauties. Why, he wondered, do these flying animals begin their lives as wingless, crawling worms? Baby ducks have wings. Baby bats have wings. Why not baby butterflies?\n\nHis answer \u2014 and I'm quoting him here \u2014 knocked me silly.\n\n\"[T]he radical change that occurs,\" he says, \"does indeed arguably involve death followed by reincarnation.\"\n\n\nSo he says it again: \"[T]he adult forms of these insects are actually new organisms.\"\n\nI'm sorry. Maybe I didn't hear that right ...\n\n\"In effect, the animal is a chimera, an amalgam of two, where the first one lives and dies ... and then the other emerges.\"\n\nWhat he's saying is, while a moth appears to be one animal, with a wormy start and a flying finish, it's actually two animals \u2014 two in one! We start with a baby caterpillar that lives a full life and then dies, dissolves. There's a pause. Then a new animal, the moth, springs to life, from the same cells, reincarnated.\n\nAccording to this theory, long, long ago, two very different animals, one destined to be wormy, the other destined to take wing, accidently mated, and somehow their genes learned to live side-by-side in their descendants. But their genes never really integrated. They are sharing a DNA molecule like two folks sharing a car, except half way through the trip, one driver dissolves and up pops his totally different successor. Driver No. 2 emerges from the body of driver No. 1.\n\n\nWhen this theory was first proposed (not by Bernd, but by an English zoologist), eminent scientists scoffed.\n\nSaid Duke biologist Fred Nijhout, this idea fits better in \"The National Enquirer than the National Academy (of Sciences).\" Said paleontologist Conrad Labandiera, \"You must be kidding!\"\n\nBut Donald Williamson, a zoologist from the University of Liverpool in England, wasn't kidding. And if Bernd Heinrich is now warming to this notion, it's time to take a closer look at Death And Resurrection in insects.\n\nThe Death And Resurrection Cycle?\n\nMany insects begin life as worm-shaped, leggy, tubular thingies that spend lots of time eating. We call them grubs or maggots or caterpillars, and they are programmed by a set of genes that sit in their DNA, spelled out in chemical letters, A, C, T and G.\n\nNotice I've put my \"caterpillar\" instruction genes on the left side of the DNA. The instructions on the right side are, temporarily, silent.\n\nSo the caterpillar grows and grows until one day, it spins itself a silk coverlet (a cocoon) or a harder pupa or chrysalis container that dangles off a twig and it goes ... well, silent.\n\nThis phase is, as Heinrich puts it, \"a deathlike intermission.\" Inside, these caterpillars shrink, shed their skin, their organs dissolve. Their insides turn to mush. Most of their cells die. But lurking in the goo are a few cells (the so-called adult or \"imaginal\" cells) that at this moment jump into action, reorganize all the free-floating proteins and other nutrients and turn what was once caterpillar into ... here comes the resurrection ... a moth!\n\nWhat's happened, says Heinrich, is that the caterpillar section of the DNA has been turned off, and the butterfly instructions have been turned on.\n\n\"[T]here are indeed two very different sets of genetic instructions at work,\" he writes, and this switch, turning \"caterpillar\" off, turning \"butterfly\" on, means that \"most of one body dies and the new life is resurrected in a new body.\"\n\nTwo In One\n\nThere is no controversy about the mechanics I just described; it's the explanation that's new and controversial. The old view was that over millions of years, animals evolved this habit of switching from one set of instructions to the other. The new view is that this is not one animal gradually changing shape, but rather instructions for two different animals sandwiched together and this change is so radical, says Bernd, \"with no continuity from one to the next, that the adult forms of these insets are actually new organisms.\"\n\nA caterpillar is born and dies; a butterfly is resurrected from its juices.\n\nIt's a stunning idea. (But with all kinds of problems: How to explain two very different creatures from different ancient species \"mating\"? Usually, they can't do that. How do you get DNA to not mix, so that the two creatures stay distinct? How do you define \"death\"?)\n\nBut still, I can't stop thinking about this. If cross-species matings were once possible, who knows what you could die and turn into? Could dandelions dream of becoming spruce trees? Could tadpoles, instead of morphing into frogs, become catfish? This is silly, I know, but radical metamorphoses, from tadpoles to frogs, maggots to flies, grubs to beetles, remain largely mysterious, so new explanations are intriguing, even if they startle. (Especially if they startle.)\n\nOn The Other Hand...\n\n\nI have a post-script to this blog. Yes, Bernd Heinrich is intrigued by Donald Williamson's Death and Resurrection thesis, and yes the strangeness of this theory makes it fun to write about. But there is, of course, an alternate possibility: that this idea is just plain wrong. I mentioned that Donald Williamson's paper was very controversial when it was first published. It still is. A few hours after this post went up, I was sent a critique of Williamson's work written by two scientists, Michael Hart and Richard Grosberg.\n\nThey think there is no credible evidence for this idea of ancient mating between different species, and that, to summarize their view, they think Williamson's theory is scientifically indefensible. So far, however, Williamson's original paper has not been retracted, which is what happens when an idea is so off, or so insupportable that it is no longer scientifically plausible. (However another subsequent Williamson paper \u2014 describing another possible ancient mating \u2014 has been retracted from a different journal.)\n\nSo, what we have here is one of my favorite scientists embracing an idea that a great many other scientists find noxious and wrong. \"You must be kidding!\" is still the cry from many men and women who do cell and developmental biology for a living. Eventually, somebody's face will be red. Maybe Bernd's. Maybe the other guys'. That's how science works. But I think you should know that wondering about butterflies and moths can get feisty.\n\nBernd Heinrich discusses death and resurrection in his new book, Life Everlasting, the Animal Way of Death. His descriptions are often very gripping. Several earlier posts, an essay on chalk, another on vultures, came from this book.\n\nCopyright 2012 National Public Radio.

But, all in all, we adapt to winter \u2014 even though many do not like it.\n\nWildlife has the amazing abilities to adapt to harsh, cold weather. Some have built in defenses from the elements and are able, except in exceptional conditions, to find food, water and shelter \u2014 the mainstays for life.\n\nTake white-tailed deer for example. The deer's first line of defense is its pelage, its fur. Deer hair is hollow providing insulation for all seasons. Sumer fur is short, thin and straight. In the winter the hair becomes longer and thicker to protect the animal from the cold. On winter walks I have come upon deer beds in the snow. The animal's weight creates depressions in the snow, but it appears they are so well insulated there is very little melting of their beds.\n\nIn early winter, hard and soft fruits such as apples, pears and acorns provide nourishment. As winter progresses deer will eat and browse dry and evergreen leaves. Deer get into trouble in deep snow, such as much of the state is now experiencing. The snow makes it hard for them to move around, especially when a crust develops on top. The lack of mobility makes whitetails, especially the young, vulnerable to predators such as coyotes.\n\nBlack bears are another story. These mammals can bulldoze their way through the snow, provided they are not asleep.\n\n\nIn the autumn, bears eat heavily to fatten themselves for the winter. Snow apparently doesn't bother them especially since the bruins will crawl into a winter den and body functions become dormant for much of the winter. The winter den may be a hollow tree or log, an excavation or a crevice in a rock ledge; it may be a \"nest\" on top of the ground, or under fallen leaves or brush, in a cavity under a large rock or beneath the roots of a tree. It may also be a drainage culvert.\n\nOccasionally a bear will arouse from a deep sleep and forage for food and return to its hibernation.\n\nDuring the winter Pennsylvania's wild turkeys rely on seeds, nuts and fruits left over from autumn, when they can find them. Deep snow is scratched away in a continual search for food. As they gather in flocks for the winter. They will seek shelter in conifers, such as hemlock trees, during inclement weather. Each morning they glide to the ground, call, regroup to start to search for food.\n\nRuffed grouse seek shelter beneath conifers during the stormy weather and roost in conifers and hardwoods.\n\nThey may also roost in conifers or hardwood trees in inclement weather or spend a winter night beneath the snow, sometimes flying directly into a soft snowbank at dusk.\n\nOnce while hunting in a shin-deep snow upstate, I flushed a grouse. Before I could get a bead on the bird it disappeared diving into the snow.

You will need to formulate your opinion based on some additional research to answer this.\n\n(3) What are the Cons, if any,\u00a0 of using this website to gain information about your cleaning products?\u00a0 You will need to formulate your opinion based on some additional research to answer this.\n\nFiled under: Sustainable Design\n\nPlants for healthy\u00a0IAQ\n\nExcellent NASA article on research on plants for IAQ. See article here\n\nAnother great link to healthy indoor plants is here. And the following TED Talks from Kamal Meattle on How to Grow Healthy Indoor Air is great.\n\nFiled under: Sustainable Design\n\n4900/6900: Wk 12 IAQ and\u00a0Cosmetics\n\nResponse due at the beginning of class 04/05.\n\nFor this week, I thought we could all look at some of our cosmetics (e.g. shampoo, lotion, soap, make-up, fragrances, etc..) to learn more about our personal products. Please visit this site, Skin Deep: Cosmetic Safety Database. Once you\u2019ve entered the site there is a section in the middle that allows you to \u201cSearch for a product, ingredient or company.\u201d Please use the search feature to find hazard information on a minimum of three (3) products that you use.\n\n1 a.b.c) After reading about your product please share the following:\n\n \u2022 Product\n \u2022 Hazard score\n \u2022 Were you expecting a higher or lower score?\n \u2022 Did anything surprise you that you learned?\n \u2022 In your opinion, do you feel the product you were using had any greenwashing aspect?\n \u2022 Do you think you will continue to use the product?\n\nAlso, for this week, please write about the following 2 questions in relation to the sustainability of cosmetics:\n\n(2) Please look more in-depth into the \u201cEnvironmental Working Group\u201d that is the organization behind the Skin Deep website. I would like for you to report on your investigative findings about this company. Are they a third-part organization? Is it for profit or non-profit? Anything else you can find on the EWG please report it. Most importantly, after you look into them tell us if you think they are an organization you trust, please explain why.\n\nAnd for those of you who haven\u2019t seen Doll Face, this is sort of unrelated to our post this week, but this is a great statement regarding cosmetics and beauty in general.\n\nFiled under: Sustainable Design<|endoftext|>It is hard not to grumble and complain about the deep snow our area is experiencing. But, all in all, we adapt to winter \u2014 even though many do not like it.\n\nWildlife has the amazing abilities to adapt to harsh, cold weather. Some have built in defenses from the elements and are able, except in exceptional conditions, to find food, water and shelter \u2014 the mainstays for life.\n\nTake white-tailed deer for example. The deer's first line of defense is its pelage, its fur. Deer hair is hollow providing insulation for all seasons. Sumer fur is short, thin and straight. In the winter the hair becomes longer and thicker to protect the animal from the cold. On winter walks I have come upon deer beds in the snow. The animal's weight creates depressions in the snow, but it appears they are so well insulated there is very little melting of their beds.\n\nIn early winter, hard and soft fruits such as apples, pears and acorns provide nourishment. As winter progresses deer will eat and browse dry and evergreen leaves. Deer get into trouble in deep snow, such as much of the state is now experiencing. The snow makes it hard for them to move around, especially when a crust develops on top. The lack of mobility makes whitetails, especially the young, vulnerable to predators such as coyotes.\n\nBlack bears are another story. These mammals can bulldoze their way through the snow, provided they are not asleep.\n\n\nIn the autumn, bears eat heavily to fatten themselves for the winter. Snow apparently doesn't bother them especially since the bruins will crawl into a winter den and body functions become dormant for much of the winter. The winter den may be a hollow tree or log, an excavation or a crevice in a rock ledge; it may be a \"nest\" on top of the ground, or under fallen leaves or brush, in a cavity under a large rock or beneath the roots of a tree. It may also be a drainage culvert.\n\nOccasionally a bear will arouse from a deep sleep and forage for food and return to its hibernation.\n\nDuring the winter Pennsylvania's wild turkeys rely on seeds, nuts and fruits left over from autumn, when they can find them. Deep snow is scratched away in a continual search for food. As they gather in flocks for the winter. They will seek shelter in conifers, such as hemlock trees, during inclement weather. Each morning they glide to the ground, call, regroup to start to search for food.\n\nRuffed grouse seek shelter beneath conifers during the stormy weather and roost in conifers and hardwoods.\n\nThey may also roost in conifers or hardwood trees in inclement weather or spend a winter night beneath the snow, sometimes flying directly into a soft snowbank at dusk.\n\nOnce while hunting in a shin-deep snow upstate, I flushed a grouse. Before I could get a bead on the bird it disappeared diving into the snow. No matter how much kicking around in the area I last saw it, I could not rouse another flush.\n\nDuring the winter, a grouse's feet develops snowshoe-like appendages around the toes enabling them to walk on top of the snow. Their winter diet includes the buds of aspen, birch, beech, maple, cherry and apple trees.\n\nOf course, many other birds fly south to warmer climates at the end of the summer when days become shorter and food more scarce.\n\nThose", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 111378, "pt_loc": 3518506, "pt_shuffle_idx": 15501545, "doc_index_f": 24302768, "doc_index_l":

Since Cassidy doesn't seem the type for petty revenge, this probably isn't a counter con.\n \u2022 Cassidy tells Kate that she is pregnant with a con man's child. (\"Left Behind\")\n \u2022 Sawyer tells Munson he is on trash duty and has been in the prison for 9 months. He then follows up again stating to Munson in the same scene that the Warden has made life hell for him the past 9 months. This may be significant to confirm that the daughter could be his or that there is a stronger possibility.\n \u2022 Cassidy appears to have become pregnant with Clementine before she pressed charges, since doing so was Kate's suggestion. Since Sawyer would have to be arrested, arraigned, and tried before going to jail, and that is typically a lengthy process in the US, his time served being nine months seems to be coincidental.\n \u2022 Furthermore, for Cassidy's pregnancy to coincide with his time in prison, she would have to get pregnant as Sawyer was going to jail, and since she had already been robbed and abandoned by him, and had him arrested, it seems highly unlikely that they would be having a sexual relationship.\n \u2022 The timing also doesn't work out because Clementine has already been born when Sawyer is released, as shown by Cassidy bringing him the picture of Clementine and Sawyer setting up the account set up in her name, but if the pregnancy was simultaneous with Sawyer's sentence, Clementine would be born as Sawyer was being released, making it pretty impossible for Cassidy to tell him about his daughter prior to his release.\n\nAd blocker interference detected!\n\n<|endoftext|>China Cabinet Makeover\n\nOK ladies, why do we feel like a gigantic china hutch is something we have to cross off the list of must-haves when first furnishing a home?

The current tin smelting processes, however, have the disadvantages of high smelting temperature, long smelting time, especially high tin loss ratio (>10 wt%). The tin loss attributes to the volatilization as gaseous SnO and stannous silicate (SnO\u2022SiO2) residual in the slag. An innovative approach for preparing metallic tin effectively from cassiterite in the presence of Na2CO3, named gas-based reduction roasting followed by water leaching process, is under development in Central South University, China. The present study, using chemically pure SnO2 and SiO2, aims to determine the impact of Na2CO3 on the metallic tin preparation from cassiterite by the novel process using XRD, SEM-EDS, chemical analysis, etc. It was found that Na2CO3 effectively restrained the tin volatilization as SnO and the formation of hardly reductive SnO\u2022SiO2 during the reduction roasting process. In the presence of Na2CO3, most of SnO2 in the raw materials (mixture of SnO2+SiO2) was directly reduced to metallic tin, and part of SnO2 reacted with Na2CO3 to form intermediate Na2SnO3, which was then reduced to metallic tin. The SiO2 was transformed into Na2SiO3 and then went into the water solution in the following water-leaching process. The main reactions of the SnO2 + SiO2 system in the presence of Na2CO3 under reductive atmosphere were ascertained.\nKeywords: stannic oxide, cassiterite, reduction roasting, sodium carbonate, metallic tin\nCorrespondence Address:\nY.

Since Cassidy doesn't seem the type for petty revenge, this probably isn't a counter con.\n \u2022 Cassidy tells Kate that she is pregnant with a con man's child. (\"Left Behind\")\n \u2022 Sawyer tells Munson he is on trash duty and has been in the prison for 9 months. He then follows up again stating to Munson in the same scene that the Warden has made life hell for him the past 9 months. This may be significant to confirm that the daughter could be his or that there is a stronger possibility.\n \u2022 Cassidy appears to have become pregnant with Clementine before she pressed charges, since doing so was Kate's suggestion. Since Sawyer would have to be arrested, arraigned, and tried before going to jail, and that is typically a lengthy process in the US, his time served being nine months seems to be coincidental.\n \u2022 Furthermore, for Cassidy's pregnancy to coincide with his time in prison, she would have to get pregnant as Sawyer was going to jail, and since she had already been robbed and abandoned by him, and had him arrested, it seems highly unlikely that they would be having a sexual relationship.\n \u2022 The timing also doesn't work out because Clementine has already been born when Sawyer is released, as shown by Cassidy bringing him the picture of Clementine and Sawyer setting up the account set up in her name, but if the pregnancy was simultaneous with Sawyer's sentence, Clementine would be born as Sawyer was being released, making it pretty impossible for Cassidy to tell him about his daughter prior to his release.\n\nAd blocker interference detected!\n\n<|endoftext|>China Cabinet Makeover\n\nOK ladies, why do we feel like a gigantic china hutch is something we have to cross off the list of must-haves when first furnishing a home?

I mean why wouldn\u2019t you? I mean if the cash is in your hand now than putting it off later on? Why wouldn\u2019t you take the money today?\n\nJeff: You don\u2019t have that option if you\u2019re not a real estate professional.\n\nMale Audience 2: Okay.\n\nJeff: If you\u2019re a real estate professional and you choose to, you can amend and go back and grab that money if you want to, if you\u2019re a real estate professional. The non-real estate professionals for instance Rich over there, he doesn\u2019t have that choice. He can\u2019t choose to take it in retro and grab a refund check. His only option right now is to carry it forward.\n\nMale Audience 2: All right, and the other question is if I find a lot of people have problems when I see that let\u2019s say someone comes and it\u2019s new is when you acquire a building, people don\u2019t know how to allocate the land, which is not depreciable.\n\nJeff: Correct.\n\nMale Audience 2: What method would you suggest? And I know what I use but I was just curious.\n\nJeff: The question \u2013 did you guys all hear the question? Okay. There are a couple of things that can be done there. One you can use the municipal tax bill as a percentage. Typically you\u2019ll look at what\u2019s the ratio of building value to their tax rate.\n\nMale Audience 2: Right.\n\nJeff: Prior to the sale, then the new person comes in with the new number, and then use that same percentage. That\u2019s one possibility. Another is to look at possibly an appraisal and see what the appraisal puts out as a tax value. What some people do is use a residual value and what they\u2019ll do is they\u2019ll figure out what the building is worth from a building cost new. In other words they\u2019ll look at the building and say, \u201cYeah, I paid $2 million for this building, but it really is worth \u2013 if I had to rebuild it, it would be $3 million.\u201d Well then, you can use a higher building cost, maybe even what the municipality says related to the land value, but it all depends on what the accountant is comfortable with because they\u2019re ultimately the ones filing the returns. We defer to the accountant unless we\u2019re asked and then we can provide another data point on the spectrum.\n\nMale Audience 3: What\u2019s the tax code is there? I found out the accountants are too conservative. What is the tax code set?\n\nJeff: There\u2019s not a bright-line test.\n\nMale Audience2: It\u2019s not there.\n\nJeff: There is not a specific statement in the code anyway that say this is how you\u2019re going to do it. If it was, everyone would do it that way and everyone would do it that way. What we do is we\u2019ll typically look at the municipal tax bill without other guidance from somebody else. If you said I don\u2019t want to use that and you gave us a good rationale, we would work with the accountant and you too come up with a different value but again it\u2019s going to depend on what\u2019s reasonable. You can\u2019t say it\u2019s a 2 percent land value.\n\nTypically what we find nationally is somewhere between 10 percent and 20 percent is the land building allocation, call it 15 for roundness. If you\u2019re in downtown Boston, it might be 30 percent or 40 percent. If you\u2019re on the [unintelligible 0:24:30] Islands, maybe it\u2019s higher; New York City, high; somewhere in the suburbs, it can be a lower percentage.\n\nMale Audience 3: Tax court cases where it\u2019s adjudicated [unintelligible 0:24:41].\n\nJeff: No. Again there is nothing that is 100 percent of the time going to be a fixed point that you can aim at.\n\nMale Audience 3: Okay [unintelligible 0:24:51].\n\nJeff: Okay.\n\nMale Audience 4: Let\u2019s say you sell a property and nothing was taken into account for money, for improvements that you made over the years to a property and like in my situation, I had a fire okay and I did a payoff for the insurance company, which was those improvements that are involved. The fire was last year. I\u2019m going to be selling it now. Can I go back like I know you have to have a real estate license but can I go back and take those?\n\n\nJeff: There\u2019s a lot of moving parts to that question. One of them is on your insurance proceeds that you got from the fire, that reduces your basis in the new expenditure, so if you\u2019ve got $1 million from the insurance company and you spent $1 million on it, you don\u2019t have depreciable basis in that expenditure, those replacement assets. If you got $1 million and you spent $2 million, now your depreciable basis is $2 million because you went over and above what the insurance basis was. Would it make sense? I don\u2019t know. My cards were over there. They have my contact information. If you want to send me some information, I\u2019d be happy to run it through our machinery and give you an estimate of tax referral.\n\nMale Audience 4: Sure.\n\nJeff: If you would like.\n\nRich: Jeff, did you have anything that you wanted to make sure you covered in front of the group before they meet you one-on-one after the meeting?\n\nJeff: I think I\u2019ve tried to convey it as quickly as I could and give you the big picture. The big picture is if you\u2019re going to hold a building, the reasons that you wouldn\u2019t do a cost seg, let me throw those out there: if you buy a building today and you plan on just let\u2019s say painting it up, fixing the kitchens, and selling it next year, don\u2019t do a cost seg. It\u2019s not worth that you\u2019re not going to own it long enough and you\u2019re going to have to give back so much of the tax deferral you gain off the cost seg, it\u2019s not going to be worthwhile doing, so don\u2019t do it.\n\nThe typical hold time is 3 to 5 years. If you\u2019re going to hold the property for 3 to 5 years, then it makes sense to do. If you\u2019ve done 1031, so if you\u2019ve brought basis forward from another transaction, the 1031 is going to reduce your new basis in that building, in the new acquired property, therefore if your new depreciable basis is only $200,000 or $300,000 it\u2019s probably not worth doing. If you still have depreciable basis of $500,000, $1 million, $3 million, it\u2019s great to do.\n\nRich: I know a lot of people in here still have questions. We just promised to end the meeting on time, so please \u2011\n\nJeff: [crosstalk 0:27:50].\n\nRich: You\u2019re okay if people come up and ask you, right?\n\nJeff: Yeah, yeah. Absolutely.

We\u2019ll tell you upfront what we think it will be conservatively, we\u2019ll tell you what our fee will be upfront. It\u2019s going to depend on number of units, how big the site is, the fees.

Children inevitably notice racial differences and will at some point start to wonder about them. And I think there\u2019s little doubt kids are drawn to people who look like themselves.\n\nThis is bad news for concerned parents who have assumed that dropping Junior off each day at Highly Diverse Multicultural School ensures that he\u2019ll turn out to be a sensitive, tolerant, polished PC product. It means that the burden of teaching Junior about race has to fall on someone, and that as parents they can either trust his school to do a good job of it (and many people do not trust schools to this degree), or they have to take on the task themselves. Bronson and Merryman are right in that this issue can\u2019t simply be sidestepped.\n\nBut if they get the form right, I believe they get the content wrong. They are too quick to accede to the prevailing conventional wisdom (at least in the USA) that posits that some races or cultures can be labeled as worthy of pride or celebration, while others must be subject to self-denunciation and apologies. This demeans all parties involved: it implies that members of some races are guilty by dint of their birth, and that members of others can only be held to lower standards. After all, which race (or ethnic group of any sort) is either an unqualified success, or an irredeemable disaster?\n\nThe content of what you teach your children about race is crucial. The messages we pass on to our children about race have to be more balanced and truthful than the politically-correct platitudes Bronson and Merryman quote in their article.\n\n\nAlthough the issue of race is not an overweening presence in Hong Kong, it\u2019s also never quite absent if you\u2019re an expat, your spouse is local, and your children are mixed.\n\nSo what are the best ways to teach such children about their racial and cultural heritage, while avoiding both jingoistic cheerleading and self-indulgent (and ultimately self-congratulatory) guilt-wallowing and breast-beating?\n\nI\u2019m looking forward to responses.\n\n\nre: Teaching kids about race\n\nI haven't really thought about this. My first reaction after reading it was 'Not another thing to worry about - P1 homework is already bad enough!'. So, after giving it some thought...\n\nI didn't plan to teach our daughters about their British racial and cultural heritage. If someone tries to make them feel ashamed about it I'll argue against that, but I don't expect to spend a lot of time on it otherwise. Am I missing something important?\n\nOur older daughter is one of two mixed children in a year of around 90 children (the rest are chinese). I guess there will be name-calling at some point in her school life, and whoever is calling names will go for the most obvious difference: that she's mixed. But to me that's a problem of the name caller, not a sign of any problem with being mixed. I hope our daughter will accept that explanation if it's needed.\n\nAs for her views about other races, I wouldn't agree with your comment that 'the issue of race is not an overweening presence in Hong Kong'. I think if you've made it to six in Hong Kong, you've worked out that there are several different groups of people including white, Hong Kong-chinese, mainland-chinese, and Filipina/Indonesian maids, and that different groups often get treated differently. So my teaching about race so far is the way that I deal with these different races, hopefully treating them in as equal a way as possible. I'm sure our children pick up these unspoken teachings as strongly as anything I could have said so far.\n\nIt's an interesting subject.\n\nIt's something I've thought\n\nIt's something I've thought about & something (IMO) that cannot be avoided.\n\n\nWhen they are young - I'd say by keeping it personal and family oriented. When we celebrate holidays\u00a0 religious holidays I'm teaching them (to an extent) about their \"racial and cultural heriatge\" on my side of the family.

By taking them to my home-state every summer when they were young, I introduced them to important US customs like the 4th of July Parade & fireworks & as they got older, teaching them a bit about US history - the good and the bad.\u00a0\n\nAs for their Chinese side - well, the Cantonese language is around them & the main family around them is the HK-Chinese side. We celebrate the usual holidays (although I have to admit that this year we did not do a single thing for Cheung Yeung). As they've gotten older, we're also teaching them more about US and Hong Kong history - the good and the bad.\n\nIn (ESF) school they have learned about various freedom struggles (e.g. the Salt\u00a0 March in 1930;\u00a0 Selma marches in 1965). That is also a point from which we can take-off and discuss things further. Family discussions at dinner are a good thing. When watching TV or videos, when I would sometimes point things out/ raise things for discussion - or the kids now will see things and talk about them too.\n\nIn the playground, my eldest was first teased by some other kids as a \"guai-mui\" when she was about 5 years old.\u00a0 After her first day of primary school, she asked me what\u00a0 a Cantonese word meant - it was \"mixed blood\". So, yes I addressed what it meant & how people like to divide other people up into groups and races. Later I told them how when I was born, it was still 2 years before \"mixed\" marriages were legal in all of the USA (Loving vs. Virginia - 1967).\n\nI think giving children intensive lessons on racism (or sexism, or class inequalities, or religious intolerance) is not appropriate, but just as in teaching them any other \"facts of life\" (where babies come from, money management, etc.) it's an on-going dialogue that arises and continues from real-life questions and examples.\n\n\n\n\nRacial minorities in Hong Kong\n\nIt's interesting that the writer classifies \"Filipina/Indonesian maids\" as a racial group here in Hong Kong, since the idea that all members of those nationalities here are domestic helpers is itself an unjustified racial stereotype - there are also professionals and business people here from both countries.\u00a0 I am not implying that the writer is prejudiced against this group, just that we all tend to make assumptions based on race that may not be true when examined.\n\nAs for children picking on each other because of race, in my secondary school there were only two black kids (one of whom, incidentally, went on to defy stereotypes by becoming Britain's first black Cabinet Minister), but that didn't stop kids from abusing each other based on physical differences - shorty, fatty, spot", "base_doc": "nic pride\u2019, and that\u2019s fine.

But, at what cost? The cost of happiness, the cost of peaceful family life, the cost of the children who suffer from a non-existent real mother in their youth (as mother was too busy with her career). The whole society and peace will all go to hell, become degraded, but at least women are now free to be 'equal' with men. It is not worth the cost.\n\nSociety needs to re-evaluate its priorities and really look at the reality of life in the face. The reality is that the modern so-called freedoms do not make any sense. They do not benefit society in the long run. What is required for a peaceful society, for happiness in life, is a peaceful home life. Where family life is important. What is required is a return to the values of moral decency, where the chastity of women is considered the most important single social aspect of society. Women who are not well protected are considered vulnerable and easily misled into immoral life styles.\n\nOnce a girl develops 'desires' or lusty desires, the desire for a man which her father can not provide, then she must be 'protected' by a husband who will provide for her and be responsible for her and the children for life. A husband is to provide protection to keep his wife's chastity, to keep her youthful shyness and purity. This protection a husband must give. The Vedic religious system is to get a girl married just at puberty so that she will be properly protected. So society will be protected, so her chastity will not be cheated from her by some irresponsible boy. Not like today where young girls are handed condoms in the public schools and taught how she must make sure her boy friends wear them. This is not giving 'protection' to women in society. Marriage is how a young marriageable girl is properly and religiously protected.\n\nAt this point, I have been writing for sometime without referring to the main topic, polygamy. So, what does all of this have to do with the topic of men taking more than one wife?\n\nThe whole point of polygamy is that it is considered by Vedic scripture to be the best system, the only real workable and practical system, that can assure that all women be properly protected. Marriage is required to properly protect the chastity of women. The key is not just marriage to any man, but to be 'properly' protected means they must marry a man who is properly trained to be a good husband and father. A man who is trained to be life-long responsible for his wife (wives) and children. A man who is religious, a man of God, a man of scripture, a man with scruples, a man who can materially provide at least the necessities of life who will see to it that his wife need not have to work outside the home for others. A man who can guide his wife and children in spiritual understanding, in Love of God. These are the men who are qualified to give as many wives protection as they can maintain.\n\nA woman is not to be or remain a wife of an atheist, or a degraded debauch and drunkard. She is not to become the bait for the fly by night playboys. But, neither is divorce and remarriage an option. A woman may want it, but men should know this will only aid to degrade society, it is the religious duty of men not to marry a widow and divorcee, but only to marry chaste virgins. That is man's religious duty to society.\n\n\nSome people argue or think that polygamy increases the population. They argue that in ancient times when there were fewer people that it was needed in order to increase the population. So, they argue that polygamy serves no purpose today. Today there are too many people, therefore polygamy should not be allowed. Or they argue that it is only needed if there are more women in the world than men, and since there isn't, then it should not be allowed. Even though the later argument is one my spiritual master gave, I must state that is not the only reason. Whether or not there are more men, it is true that there are more women who want a good husband in this world than there are good husbands to go around. That is a verifiable fact.\n\nAs far as polygamy increasing the population, the math just doesn't add up. Birth rate is a factor of how many babies per woman, not how many wives per man. Say there are 100 men and 100 women in a town. All it takes is one man (and a little herbal help) and he can feasibly get all 100 women pregnant in a month or two, more like a year. The only thing a 100 men could do is, theoretically, get all 100 women pregnant faster, within a month. But, over the years, whether the women have one husband each or all 100 share the same husband, they cannot produce any more or less children simply because of that. The population of that town would expand the same whether all the woman married one man or each had a separate husband. Polygamy would not increase the population. The argument that polygyny should not be allowed in modern times because it will increase the population is not a valid argument.\n\nSo, why is polygamy needed in today's world? For the same reason it was needed 1 million years ago, or 5,000 years ago, or 500 years ago or last year. It is the best system that assures the best protection for all women in society. Lets go with that imaginary town of 100 men and 100 women (by the way, all these people are unwed and marriageable). A certain percentage of the men wind up turning bad. In the US the prisons are far more full with men than they are with women. Out of the 100 men about 15 go down the wrong path in life and wind up either in prison or in and of it, or on the edge of being thrown in it any day. These are men who live in a bottle (drunkards), who hunt for women, who gamble, who are addicted to all sorts of nonsense. They would prefer to pay a woman to lay down with then to hassle with courtship and having to create a relationship, what to speak of hassling with the responsibility of their actions. These men lack culture. They often wind up even on the wrong side of modern societies laws, what to speak of God's laws.\n\nThere are at least another 5 men who take to spiritual or religious life (especially in a more religious or spiritually oriented society - and in societies that are not spiritually centered, you can add 5 men to the above numbers). These men take to a life of celibacy, they take religious vows never to marry, but to dedicate their life in service to God.\n\nThen there are another 40 men whose main interest in life (at least in their younger unwed days), is to put as many unwed girls under the sheets as they can, one at a time, a different one each night if possible. All they want is a one-night stand, or they may go a few years. But, talk babies and marriage to these guys and they quickly pack their bags and head out the door. These men are totally irresponsible and want nothing to do with being responsible for their actions. All they want is a warm live person to massage their genitals. Some of these men marry, but it is does not last. They remarry, and remarry.\n\nThen there are about 20 of the men who are responsible, but not so educated. They marry to have a family and care for a wife, but, lack any real spiritual qualities that would make them highly qualified to be a guide for any more than one wife.\n\nThen there are the last 20 men. These are extremely desirable and qualified men who have the means and the spiritual qualifications of a first-class husband and provider.\n\nNow, on the women's side about 10 of the women wind up on the wrong side of the fence. At least 5 of these take to very degraded life-style, professional prostitution etc. The other 5 like to go from one relationship to the next (sophisticated prostitutes). That leaves 90 other unwed women who very much want to find a qualified husband who will provide protection for them.\n\nWell, there are only 20 real good husband's out there. Another 20 that will make at least a barely get by husband. That leaves 50 other women who will have no qualified husband. In a society which does not allow polygamy these women then become exploited by those men who are only interested in one night stands. These women can only seem to find the men who are not really interested in being responsible for their actions, who really don't want babies, all they want is a warm friendly massage, and that is what these women become, a warm friendly massage machine. They can only find this type of man because that is all the type of men left. The few good ones are already taken.\n\nMaybe 10 of these women are happy with that sort of arrangement, still, that leaves a minimum of 40 women who are not happy with that. They want", "base_doc": " society?\u00a0 Women do not have to limit their future aspiration to be only house maids, cooks and baby sitters, today a woman can achieve any position in society she wants, she now has freedom and has equal opportunity as any man.

So society will be protected, so her chastity will not be cheated from her by some irresponsible boy. Not like today where young girls are handed condoms in the public schools and taught how she must make sure her boy friends wear them. This is not giving 'protection' to women in society. Marriage is how a young marriageable girl is properly and religiously protected.\n\nAt this point, I have been writing for sometime without referring to the main topic, polygamy. So, what does all of this have to do with the topic of men taking more than one wife?\n\nThe whole point of polygamy is that it is considered by Vedic scripture to be the best system, the only real workable and practical system, that can assure that all women be properly protected. Marriage is required to properly protect the chastity of women. The key is not just marriage to any man, but to be 'properly' protected means they must marry a man who is properly trained to be a good husband and father. A man who is trained to be life-long responsible for his wife (wives) and children. A man who is religious, a man of God, a man of scripture, a man with scruples, a man who can materially provide at least the necessities of life who will see to it that his wife need not have to work outside the home for others. A man who can guide his wife and children in spiritual understanding, in Love of God. These are the men who are qualified to give as many wives protection as they can maintain.\n\nA woman is not to be or remain a wife of an atheist, or a degraded debauch and drunkard. She is not to become the bait for the fly by night playboys. But, neither is divorce and remarriage an option. A woman may want it, but men should know this will only aid to degrade society, it is the religious duty of men not to marry a widow and divorcee, but only to marry chaste virgins. That is man's religious duty to society.\n\n\nSome people argue or think that polygamy increases the population. They argue that in ancient times when there were fewer people that it was needed in order to increase the population. So, they argue that polygamy serves no purpose today. Today there are too many people, therefore polygamy should not be allowed. Or they argue that it is only needed if there are more women in the world than men, and since there isn't, then it should not be allowed. Even though the later argument is one my spiritual master gave, I must state that is not the only reason. Whether or not there are more men, it is true that there are more women who want a good husband in this world than there are good husbands to go around. That is a verifiable fact.\n\nAs far as polygamy increasing the population, the math just doesn't add up. Birth rate is a factor of how many babies per woman, not how many wives per man. Say there are 100 men and 100 women in a town. All it takes is one man (and a little herbal help) and he can feasibly get all 100 women pregnant in a month or two, more like a year. The only thing a 100 men could do is, theoretically, get all 100 women pregnant faster, within a month. But, over the years, whether the women have one husband each or all 100 share the same husband, they cannot produce any more or less children simply because of that. The population of that town would expand the same whether all the woman married one man or each had a separate husband. Polygamy would not increase the population. The argument that polygyny should not be allowed in modern times because it will increase the population is not a valid argument.\n\nSo, why is polygamy needed in today's world? For the same reason it was needed 1 million years ago, or 5,000 years ago, or 500 years ago or last year. It is the best system that assures the best protection for all women in society. Lets go with that imaginary town of 100 men and 100 women (by the way, all these people are unwed and marriageable). A certain percentage of the men wind up turning bad. In the US the prisons are far more full with men than they are with women. Out of the 100 men about 15 go down the wrong path in life and wind up either in prison or in and of it, or on the edge of being thrown in it any day. These are men who live in a bottle (drunkards), who hunt for women, who gamble, who are addicted to all sorts of nonsense. They would prefer to pay a woman to lay down with then to hassle with courtship and having to create a relationship, what to speak of hassling with the responsibility of their actions. These men lack culture. They often wind up even on the wrong side of modern societies laws, what to speak of God's laws.\n\nThere are at least another 5 men who take to spiritual or religious life (especially in a more religious or spiritually oriented society - and in societies that are not spiritually centered, you can add 5 men to the above numbers). These men take to a life of celibacy, they take religious vows never to marry, but to dedicate their life in service to God.\n\nThen there are another 40 men whose main interest in life (at least in their younger unwed days), is to put as many unwed girls under the sheets as they can, one at a time, a different one each night if possible. All they want is a one-night stand, or they may go a few years. But, talk babies and marriage to these guys and they quickly pack their bags and head out the door. These men are totally irresponsible and want nothing to do with being responsible for their actions. All they want is a warm live person to massage their genitals. Some of these men marry, but it is does not last. They remarry, and remarry.\n\nThen there are about 20 of the men who are responsible, but not so educated. They marry to have a family and care for a wife, but, lack any real spiritual qualities that would make them highly qualified to be a guide for any more than one wife.\n\nThen there are the last 20 men. These are extremely desirable and qualified men who have the means and the spiritual qualifications of a first-class husband and provider.\n\nNow, on the women's side about 10 of the women wind up on the wrong side of the fence. At least 5 of these take to very degraded life-style, professional prostitution etc. The other 5 like to go from one relationship to the next (sophisticated prostitutes). That leaves 90 other unwed women who very much want to find a qualified husband who will provide protection for them.\n\nWell, there are only 20 real good husband's out there. Another 20 that will make at least a barely get by husband. That leaves 50 other women who will have no qualified husband. In a society which does not allow polygamy these women then become exploited by those men who are only interested in one night stands. These women can only seem to find the men who are not really interested in being responsible for their actions, who really don't want babies, all they want is a warm friendly massage, and that is what these women become, a warm friendly massage machine. They can only find this type of man because that is all the type of men left. The few good ones are already taken.\n\nMaybe 10 of these women are happy with that sort of arrangement, still, that leaves a minimum of 40 women who are not happy with that. They want and need a really responsible husband who will care for them life-long. Who will be fully responsible. They want one of the few good men.\n\nNow, I may have taken some liberty to exaggerate the figures a bit, but it illustrates a true reality in society. There are much fewer good and qualified men compared to the number of women who want and need such qualified men to be their husbands.

My first thought was,\u201dIf that is so, then it won\u2019t come from the Christian Tradition.\u201d\n\n Then I realized that it had already come from the Christian Tradition when the Trinitarian Mystery is interpreted from a relational rather than from an ontological perspective.\n\n The Trinity, or Tri-Unity, is a communion of Persons united by their mutual unconditional, kenotic Love.\n\n Participation in the Divine Live by Grace is the Source and perfection of transformational human community. The Trinitarian Mystery reveals three distinct Persons defined by their loving relationships, not three solitary Individuals as we so often define ourselves in contemporary First World Western societies.\n\n That is my personal \u201clogic\u201d behind my Trinitarian faith.\n\n In practice, most Latin/Western Christians are Unitarian, not Trinitarian:\n \u201cUnfortunately, many Christians do not appreciate the gift of the revelation of the Trinity. Christian laymen often seem to engage in the many ritual gestures devoted to the Trinity with little understanding of the centrality of the Trinity to the faith. Clergy in the West are famous for being befuddled when it comes to preaching the sermon on Trinity Sunday. Indeed, the prominent twentieth-century Catholic theologian Karl Rahner could lament the absence of the Trinity in the intellectual and devotional life of the modern Church. Although recent history demonstrates a new found interest in the Trinity, it still seem that most Christians do not recognize or have somehow forgotten that the doctrine of the Trinity contains* the \u2018pearl of great price\u2019 the ne plus ultra of metaphysical wisdom.\u201d\n *I say \u201ccontains\u201d rather than \u201cis\u201d because I wish to distinguish between mere notional knowledge and genuine sapiential knowledge of the Trinity. Sapiential comes from sapience, \u201ctaste\u201d as in \u201cTaste and see the Lord is good\u201d (Psalm 34:8). Sapiential knowledge is transformative. \u2013Timothy A Mahoney\n\n The \u201cevidence\u201d will not be conclusive until the \u201cend of time.\u201d Until then it will remain an eschatological \u201ccertain hope\u201d that can only be sustained by faith in the midst of much evidence that a perfect human community can only be a utopian romantic ideal, never a reality.\n\n For me, the fact that our species continues to strive to realize the utopian ideal even though attempts have always resulted in failure often with horrifically tragic results, supports my faith that such a vision is not only possible; but that there is something in the human spirit that will not let the hope die in spite of it being illogical in light of the testimony of all previous human history.\n\n \u2022 BobSeidensticker\n\n It\u2019s like you\u2019re arguing which fictional world you like the best. I need evidence. The Christian notion of Trinity that is 3 and 1 at the same time is nonsense. My advice to Christianity: just embrace the polytheism.\n\n\n Problem? What problem? Embrace reality and your made-up problems go away.\n\n \u2022 Carol\n\n \u201cEmbracing reality\u201d (whose reality?) may have made your problems go away, but it increased mine.\n The more globally inclusive the world becomes the more our problems will increase as there will be more special interests and diverse cultures and ways to cope with our individual and common social ills to reconcile.\n Narrowing our \u201creality\u201d to those nearest and dearest to us may reduce the incidences of conflict, but lots of luck trying to do that in the 21st century.\n\n \u2022 whose reality?\n\n \u201cReality\u201d is that fluid that we must wonder which reality we\u2019ve embraced?\n\n\n \u201cEmbrace reality\u201d sounds like good advice for all of us. Not so for you?\n\n \u2022 Itarion\n\n Quotations, fascinating though they might be, do little for me. From any side, and religion or the lack thereof, quotables merely obscure the discussion by blurring the topic. I want to speak to the person I am speaking to, and not some far distant, often dead, student of philosophical \u201ctruths\u201d who draws exclusively upon their own experience to decide what is.\n\n So, let\u2019s talk.

My first thought was,\u201dIf that is so, then it won\u2019t come from the Christian Tradition.\u201d\n\n Then I realized that it had already come from the Christian Tradition when the Trinitarian Mystery is interpreted from a relational rather than from an ontological perspective.\n\n The Trinity, or Tri-Unity, is a communion of Persons united by their mutual unconditional, kenotic Love.\n\n Participation in the Divine Live by Grace is the Source and perfection of transformational human community. The Trinitarian Mystery reveals three distinct Persons defined by their loving relationships, not three solitary Individuals as we so often define ourselves in contemporary First World Western societies.\n\n That is my personal \u201clogic\u201d behind my Trinitarian faith.\n\n In practice, most Latin/Western Christians are Unitarian, not Trinitarian:\n \u201cUnfortunately, many Christians do not appreciate the gift of the revelation of the Trinity. Christian laymen often seem to engage in the many ritual gestures devoted to the Trinity with little understanding of the centrality of the Trinity to the faith. Clergy in the West are famous for being befuddled when it comes to preaching the sermon on Trinity Sunday. Indeed, the prominent twentieth-century Catholic theologian Karl Rahner could lament the absence of the Trinity in the intellectual and devotional life of the modern Church. Although recent history demonstrates a new found interest in the Trinity, it still seem that most Christians do not recognize or have somehow forgotten that the doctrine of the Trinity contains* the \u2018pearl of great price\u2019 the ne plus ultra of metaphysical wisdom.\u201d\n *I say \u201ccontains\u201d rather than \u201cis\u201d because I wish to distinguish between mere notional knowledge and genuine sapiential knowledge of the Trinity. Sapiential comes from sapience, \u201ctaste\u201d as in \u201cTaste and see the Lord is good\u201d (Psalm 34:8). Sapiential knowledge is transformative. \u2013Timothy A Mahoney\n\n The \u201cevidence\u201d will not be conclusive until the \u201cend of time.\u201d Until then it will remain an eschatological \u201ccertain hope\u201d that can only be sustained by faith in the midst of much evidence that a perfect human community can only be a utopian romantic ideal, never a reality.\n\n For me, the fact that our species continues to strive to realize the utopian ideal even though attempts have always resulted in failure often with horrifically tragic results, supports my faith that such a vision is not only possible; but that there is something in the human spirit that will not let the hope die in spite of it being illogical in light of the testimony of all previous human history.\n\n \u2022 BobSeidensticker\n\n It\u2019s like you\u2019re arguing which fictional world you like the best. I need evidence. The Christian notion of Trinity that is 3 and 1 at the same time is nonsense. My advice to Christianity: just embrace the polytheism.\n\n\n Problem? What problem? Embrace reality and your made-up problems go away.\n\n \u2022 Carol\n\n \u201cEmbracing reality\u201d (whose reality?) may have made your problems go away, but it increased mine.\n The more globally inclusive the world becomes the more our problems will increase as there will be more special interests and diverse cultures and ways to cope with our individual and common social ills to reconcile.\n Narrowing our \u201creality\u201d to those nearest and dearest to us may reduce the incidences of conflict, but lots of luck trying to do that in the 21st century.\n\n \u2022 whose reality?\n\n \u201cReality\u201d is that fluid that we must wonder which reality we\u2019ve embraced?\n\n\n \u201cEmbrace reality\u201d sounds like good advice for all of us. Not so for you?\n\n \u2022 Itarion\n\n Quotations, fascinating though they might be, do little for me. From any side, and religion or the lack thereof, quotables merely obscure the discussion by blurring the topic.

(Where would she possibly have found his mailing address?)\n\nAs an infant Maria was cared for by her maternal grandparents, the Goldmans, while her older brother, Helmut, lived with their mother. In time Rosa found a position as a housekeeper at nursery in Th\u00fcringen and Maria was taken to live with her. She was six and approached the reunion \u201cin a very festive spirit. I loved both of my grandparents very much, and now I would be seeing my mother as well.\u201d On arrival that day she happily found that her mother was living in a large, stately home on a street lined with mature chestnut trees. She was amazed by the parquet flooring and by \u201ca solid swing on thick ropes which stood in the wide hallway.\u201d\n\nHer memories of that day remained vivid for the rest of her life, including how quickly the air of festivity dissipated. She was reunited with her brothers\u2014both of whom she couldn\u2019t have known well\u2014and met Uncle Julius Thalacker, an \u201cuncle\u201d only by virtue of his romantic relationship with her mother. They weren\u2019t married, didn\u2019t live together, yet had a child together, Bernhard. \u201cI found it difficult to greet this new uncle who was not my papa,\u201d Maria writes. \u201cI had many silent struggles in my childish heart.\u201d One of them\u2014again, she was just six years old at this point\u2014was the fear of abandonment. After her grandparents departed she felt their absence deeply. Her brothers took her dolls and claimed them for their own. Whether it was the dolls, or the grandparents, or the parquet flooring, or whatever fantasies she had to relinquish, she began to wrestle with the pressing need to acclimate to a new family and a new life. For six years, in all practical terms, she had been an only child in a stable home. Now there were more relationships to parse and to negotiate\u2014she was a sister, a daughter, and soon to be a stepdaughter to a man she, ultimately, would never learn to trust. All that, plus the lack of attention: \u201cMother was [the] breadwinner now and didn\u2019t have much time for us children.\u201d Her brothers provided much of the day-to-day care, from seeing that she got to school on time and home again. They also provided a sense of support and consistency while their lives\u2014dependably, at least\u2014continued along in a state of flux.\n\nIt\u2019s hard to know how involved Thalacker as in all of this, though in Maria\u2019s hands he seems fairly enigmatic. He had traveled, once living in Buffalo, NY, for a period of years, before returning to Germany. He spoke English fluently and attempted to teach the language to his children and grandchildren. He met Rosa at the nursery in Thuringen, where he leased land in support of his landscaping business. When the widow who owned the nursery remarried, the property was sold. At a stroke Thalacker lost the land and the means of his livelihood. Rosa and her children lost a home and a means of support.\n\nMaria\u2019s parents\u2019 separation and divorce, Rosa\u2019s employment, her undefined relationship with Thalaker, having a child out of wedlock\u2014any one of those things would have been highly conspicuous for the time. Divorce was rare, and most women worked in the home. Seemingly undaunted, Rosa approached life as the challenge it was, and met adversity with decisiveness and fierce independence. When the nursery was sold, she decided to find work in a laundry in a nearby city. She found and apartment there and booked passage for her and the children on a train, and may have already found a job. Then Thalaker proposed, and it\u2019s tantalizing to wonder what took him so long. Maria\u2019s justification of his motive isn\u2019t very flattering: \u201cHe had gotten so used to mother running his household and the nursery, that he suddenly realized \u2018How am I supposed to get along somewhere else without this woman?\u2019\u201d Rosa accepted.\n\nMaria describes it as beautiful a beautiful event, though her feelings toward Thalacker remained unchanged. \u201cMother often told us that he did love us a lot, but I had reservations about how strict he could be, and I worried about how he would deal with us in the future.\u201d She knew from experience the kind of thing that she could expect. When her brother fell into a bucket of water, Thalaker removed him with one hand and beat him roundly with the other. \u201cMy heart wept at the sight. How can a poor boy be beaten after he had had such an accident?\u201d\n\nAfter the wedding, the family moved to a village with a population of 3000 to establish their own nursery\u2014a move that Roas approached, says Maria, \u201cin her usual courageous manner.\u201d Courageous, yes, though unfortunately it wasn\u2019t the wisest location for a business. Though Thalaker built a sign to place at the road, the property wasn\u2019t anything resembling a major thoroughfare and they struggled to find customers. Maria sold forget-me-nots at market and helped make wreathes for the graves of the soldiers lost in the war. The business of mourning kept them in the black, a testament to the devastation that the war brought to the population of Europe and the world.\n\n\nKaiser Wilhem II and the King of England, two cousins at war\n\n\n\u201cA notice went out that the king was coming.\u201d It was 1910 or so and the king was Kaiser Wilhelm II, King of Prussia and leader of the German Empire since his coronation in 1888. He was a visible, handsome, impressively dressed figurehead. When he toured Th\u00fcringen, everyone went out to greet his motorcade, including young Maria and her grandmother. \u201cPeople were standing several rows deep along the streets,\u201d Maria writes. \u201cGrandmother stood at the garden fence on top of a big barrel.\u201d As the car slowly passed by, she threw a bouquet of flowers, hitting the king on the head. In acknowledgement, and no doubt a bit of ire\u2014there is no mention of a smile in either of the two accounts that Maria wrote down\u2014he turned and nodded. \u201cThat was a big event in my youth,\u201d she writes. \u201cGrandmother was very proud of it, too.\u201d\n\nTh\u00fcringen was part of the German Empire, a collection of 27\u00a0territories\u00a0that were unified in 1871, creating the German Empire under the leadership of Prussia. It ways, truly, a mixed bag: 4 kingdoms, 6 grand duchies, 6 duchies, 7 principalities, 3 free hanseatic cities, and one imperial territory.\u00a0Most were lead by royal families and all fell under the leadership of the king, and unification took place on January 18, 1871, in the Hall of Mirrors within the Palace of Versailles.\n\nWhen his son, Wilhelm II, was crowned in 1888, the German Empire was a force in Europe like no other. A hotbed of innovation, it led Europe and the world in industry, science, and technological development. It had the second largest navy in the world, the world\u2019s strongest army, and the fastest-growing industrial base. By the outset of World War I, the empire would be home to more Nobel Prize laureates than Britain, France, Russia and the United States combined.\u00a0The\u00a0successes in technology, industry, and science, it was thought, were little more than\u00a0a taste of what was still to come.\n\nThe reason for all that prosperity, perhaps more than anything else, was the leadership of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck.

Maria\u2019s justification of his motive isn\u2019t very flattering: \u201cHe had gotten so used to mother running his household and the nursery, that he suddenly realized \u2018How am I supposed to get along somewhere else without this woman?\u2019\u201d Rosa accepted.\n\nMaria describes it as beautiful a beautiful event, though her feelings toward Thalacker remained unchanged. \u201cMother often told us that he did love us a lot, but I had reservations about how strict he could be, and I worried about how he would deal with us in the future.\u201d She knew from experience the kind of thing that she could expect. When her brother fell into a bucket of water, Thalaker removed him with one hand and beat him roundly with the other. \u201cMy heart wept at the sight. How can a poor boy be beaten after he had had such an accident?\u201d\n\nAfter the wedding, the family moved to a village with a population of 3000 to establish their own nursery\u2014a move that Roas approached, says Maria, \u201cin her usual courageous manner.\u201d Courageous, yes, though unfortunately it wasn\u2019t the wisest location for a business. Though Thalaker built a sign to place at the road, the property wasn\u2019t anything resembling a major thoroughfare and they struggled to find customers. Maria sold forget-me-nots at market and helped make wreathes for the graves of the soldiers lost in the war. The business of mourning kept them in the black, a testament to the devastation that the war brought to the population of Europe and the world.\n\n\nKaiser Wilhem II and the King of England, two cousins at war\n\n\n\u201cA notice went out that the king was coming.\u201d It was 1910 or so and the king was Kaiser Wilhelm II, King of Prussia and leader of the German Empire since his coronation in 1888. He was a visible, handsome, impressively dressed figurehead. When he toured Th\u00fcringen, everyone went out to greet his motorcade, including young Maria and her grandmother. \u201cPeople were standing several rows deep along the streets,\u201d Maria writes. \u201cGrandmother stood at the garden fence on top of a big barrel.\u201d As the car slowly passed by, she threw a bouquet of flowers, hitting the king on the head. In acknowledgement, and no doubt a bit of ire\u2014there is no mention of a smile in either of the two accounts that Maria wrote down\u2014he turned and nodded. \u201cThat was a big event in my youth,\u201d she writes. \u201cGrandmother was very proud of it, too.\u201d\n\nTh\u00fcringen was part of the German Empire, a collection of 27\u00a0territories\u00a0that were unified in 1871, creating the German Empire under the leadership of Prussia. It ways, truly, a mixed bag: 4 kingdoms, 6 grand duchies, 6 duchies, 7 principalities, 3 free hanseatic cities, and one imperial territory.\u00a0Most were lead by royal families and all fell under the leadership of the king, and unification took place on January 18, 1871, in the Hall of Mirrors within the Palace of Versailles.\n\nWhen his son, Wilhelm II, was crowned in 1888, the German Empire was a force in Europe like no other. A hotbed of innovation, it led Europe and the world in industry, science, and technological development. It had the second largest navy in the world, the world\u2019s strongest army, and the fastest-growing industrial base. By the outset of World War I, the empire would be home to more Nobel Prize laureates than Britain, France, Russia and the United States combined.\u00a0The\u00a0successes in technology, industry, and science, it was thought, were little more than\u00a0a taste of what was still to come.\n\nThe reason for all that prosperity, perhaps more than anything else, was the leadership of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck. Though the empire was a monarchy, during his reign Emperor Wilhelm I wisely placed the responsibilities of running the state in the hands of his Chancellor. Bismarck was a normalizing influence.

I ask, why shouldn't we care?\n\nI think we should care because sometimes income inequality leads to bad living conditions for our fellow human beings. To the extent that income inequality is necessary to avoid making EVERYONE worse off, then it is not a bad thing. On the other hand, to the extent that income inequality makes some better off at the EXPENSE of others and is not necessary for overall economic well-being (i.e. it is unearned and merely the result of position), we should be concerned. When economic inequality is not based on moral dessert, it is usually not necessary for overall economic well-being.\n\nHere is an example of income inequality that is bad. In Saudi Arabia, there are many families that are very rich with oil wealth that is entirely the result of position rather than innovation or any sort of moral dessert. These people tend to import housekeepers from foreign countries, for example, Sri Lanka. At the same time, these privileged Saudi families often discriminate and look down upon their domestic help.\n\nSri Lankan women working as domestic help often end up leaving their children in Sri Lanka while they work for these (often ungrateful) Saudi families. This is an example of bad income inequality leading to bad results. Merely to help clean up after a Saudi family too lazy to clean up after itself, economic exchange induces these women to abandon the raising of their own children. Which activity is truly more valuable, raising children or cleaning up after lazy slobs who should clean up after themselves?\n\nSometimes, economic inequality leads human energies being focused on satisfying wants and desires that are less important. In this case, there is no reason that these Saudi families deserve to be rich.

What sorts of economic equalities should we not interfere with because to do so would only make us worse off as a whole and which are unjustified and merely result in bad allocations of human energy?

To interfere with that would merely harm those who are already worst off. But this is not the WHOLE story. Sometimes economic inequality is not justified by innovation or progress and then merely results in skewed distributions of human energy for no good reason. Sometimes economic inequality is a story of productivity and hard work, other times, it is a story of merely exploiting an unearned position of advantage.\n\nDavid Thomson writes:\n\n\u201cI think we should care because sometimes income inequality leads to bad living conditions for our fellow human beings.\u201d\n\nOh my God, I strongly recommend that you pick up all your books authored by the well intentioned John Rawls and John Kenneth Galbraith, and throw them into the garbage.

He has said, infamously, how he can\"t help but \"just start kissing\" beautiful women. He tweets early in the morning, seemingly impulsively, often directly in response to cable television and often to the chagrin of his staff. The president also can\"t stop drinking Diet Coke, which he called \"garbage\" while firing off a series of tweets about the beverage in 2012. At the G20 summit on Thursday, a bottle of his favorite soda spotted tucked against the side of Trump\"s chair.\n\nYou are watching: I have never seen a thin person drinking diet coke\n\nTrump 'I've never seen a thin person drink diet coke' turns up to G20 with a diet coke, which he tries to hide\n\n\u2014 Felicity Morse (\nFelicityMorse) July 7, 2017\n\nTrump is someone for whom physical appearance matters a great deal, so it would stand to reason that if Diet Coke is \"garbage,\" he might cease consuming it in order to avoid becoming overweight. The president can\"t seem to help himself, though, and it\"s possibly because he is dubious that soda is as bad for a person\"s health as experts say it is. Let\"s venture back to 2012, when Trump very publicly wrestled with the idea of how something labeled \"diet\" might not result in weight loss.\n\nRelated: Why is Trump keeping our Western allies at arm\"s length?\n\nOn October 12, Trump made an observation:\n\nI have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke.\n\n\u2014 Donald J. Trump (\nrealDonaldTrump) October 14, 2012\n\nThree days later, he asked a question based on this observation:\n\nThe more Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, etc you drink, the more weight you gain?\n\n\u2014 Donald J. Trump (\nrealDonaldTrump) October 15, 2012\n\nAfter a day\"s consideration, Trump seemed to have acknowledged that Diet Coke does not \"work.\"\n\nDiet Coke tweet had a monster response--dammit, I wish the stuff worked.\n\n\u2014 Donald J. Trump (\nrealDonaldTrump) October 16, 2012\n\nBased on his findings, Trump resolved to continue drinking diet soda.\n\nThe Coca Cola company is not happy with me--that's okay, I'll still keep drinking that garbage.\n\n\u2014 Donald J. Trump (\nrealDonaldTrump) October 16, 2012\n\nNearly a week later, the issue still weighed on Trump\"s mind. After six days of consideration, he was able to work out that Diet Coke not only doesn\"t help you lose weight, it encourages you to eat more.\n\nI once again feel obligated to remind you that this man is now the president of the United States.\n\nPeople are going crazy with my comments on Diet Coke (soda). Let's face it--this stuff just doesn't work. It makes you hungry.\n\n\u2014 Donald J. Trump (\nrealDonaldTrump) October 22, 2012\n\nThis concluded what is essentially Trump\"s version of the scientific method. There was an observation (look at that fat man with a Diet Coke in his hand), a question (maybe Diet Coke is what made that man fat?), research (looking at Twitter replies), a hypothesis (Diet Coke does\"t \"work\"), an experiment (continue to drink Diet Coke), an affirmation of the hypothesis (I have not lost weight after continuing to drink Diet Coke), a conclusion (Diet Coke actually makes you hungry!) and a report of his findings (tweets).\n\nExecuting this process also appears to represent the closest Trump has come to engaging with the idea of \"science,\" which he has developed a reputation for shunning even on its most basic levels. In May. it was revealed that the president does not believe exercise is good for a person\"s health, and that humans are born with a finite amount of energy that working out only depletes.

He has said, infamously, how he can\"t help but \"just start kissing\" beautiful women. He tweets early in the morning, seemingly impulsively, often directly in response to cable television and often to the chagrin of his staff. The president also can\"t stop drinking Diet Coke, which he called \"garbage\" while firing off a series of tweets about the beverage in 2012. At the G20 summit on Thursday, a bottle of his favorite soda spotted tucked against the side of Trump\"s chair.\n\nYou are watching: I have never seen a thin person drinking diet coke\n\nTrump 'I've never seen a thin person drink diet coke' turns up to G20 with a diet coke, which he tries to hide\n\n\u2014 Felicity Morse (\nFelicityMorse) July 7, 2017\n\nTrump is someone for whom physical appearance matters a great deal, so it would stand to reason that if Diet Coke is \"garbage,\" he might cease consuming it in order to avoid becoming overweight. The president can\"t seem to help himself, though, and it\"s possibly because he is dubious that soda is as bad for a person\"s health as experts say it is. Let\"s venture back to 2012, when Trump very publicly wrestled with the idea of how something labeled \"diet\" might not result in weight loss.\n\nRelated: Why is Trump keeping our Western allies at arm\"s length?\n\nOn October 12, Trump made an observation:\n\nI have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke.\n\n\u2014 Donald J. Trump (\nrealDonaldTrump) October 14, 2012\n\nThree days later, he asked a question based on this observation:\n\nThe more Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, etc you drink, the more weight you gain?\n\n\u2014 Donald J. Trump (\nrealDonaldTrump) October 15, 2012\n\nAfter a day\"s consideration, Trump seemed to have acknowledged that Diet Coke does not \"work.\"\n\nDiet Coke tweet had a monster response--dammit, I wish the stuff worked.\n\n\u2014 Donald J. Trump (\nrealDonaldTrump) October 16, 2012\n\nBased on his findings, Trump resolved to continue drinking diet soda.\n\nThe Coca Cola company is not happy with me--that's okay, I'll still keep drinking that garbage.\n\n\u2014 Donald J. Trump (\nrealDonaldTrump) October 16, 2012\n\nNearly a week later, the issue still weighed on Trump\"s mind. After six days of consideration, he was able to work out that Diet Coke not only doesn\"t help you lose weight, it encourages you to eat more.\n\nI once again feel obligated to remind you that this man is now the president of the United States.\n\nPeople are going crazy with my comments on Diet Coke (soda). Let's face it--this stuff just doesn't work. It makes you hungry.\n\n\u2014 Donald J. Trump (\nrealDonaldTrump) October 22, 2012\n\nThis concluded what is essentially Trump\"s version of the scientific method. There was an observation (look at that fat man with a Diet Coke in his hand), a question (maybe Diet Coke is what made that man fat?), research (looking at Twitter replies), a hypothesis (Diet Coke does\"t \"work\"), an experiment (continue to drink Diet Coke), an affirmation of the hypothesis (I have not lost weight after continuing to drink Diet Coke), a conclusion (Diet Coke actually makes you hungry!) and a report of his findings (tweets).\n\nExecuting this process also appears to represent the closest Trump has come to engaging with the idea of \"science,\" which he has developed a reputation for shunning even on its most basic levels. In May. it was revealed that the president does not believe exercise is good for a person\"s health, and that humans are born with a finite amount of energy that working out only depletes. Considering this position, as well as his fast food-heavy diet, Trump\"s ability to come to the conclusion that soda is not healthy should be worthy of commendation.\n\nIf he wasn\"t the healthiest president to ever take office, Trump\"s persistence in guzzling the vile garbage soda might be cause for concern.

This time, as promised, I will begin to discuss exactly why I find these programs to be far more useful than a dedicated word processor.\n\nThere are two fundamental reasons for preferring programs other than word processors (as well as other, less basic reasons such as the general instability and frustrating clunkiness of word processors). These are: (i) clear separation between the processes of defining content and defining form; (ii) precise control over every part of every printed page. In this post I will look at the first of these.\n\nDefining Content and Defining Form\n\nIn a modern word processor, there is no clear separation between the action of typing content and the action of determining how it will look on the page: as one types the story, one is continually aware of how the final page will look. This is not useful for at least two reasons: firstly, the look of the page continually distracts from the task at hand, which is the creation of the story; secondly, one loses a lot of context because the word processor displays a relatively small amount of text at a time.\n\nTo this second point, consider a manuscript that is being created for submission to an agent or a publisher. Professional submissions are expected to conform to typical industry expectations -- basically, the page is expected to look more or less as if it had come from a typewriter: double-spaced in a monospaced font, in accordance with certain expectations regarding layout and conventions to indicate changes of font. So as one types, one is faced with something that looks like this (the text is taken from the beginning of Reflexive Action):\n\nNow, this is great for printing out on paper, and marking up changes. But it's pretty poor for typing a story:\n 1. There's just not enough context visible (what did character X say fifteen lines ago? What colour did I say that wall was on the last page?).\u00a0\n 2. Space is wasted, and the flow is interrupted, by the headline on each page.\n 3. The conventions for changes in typeface (underline for italic, double underline for bold) mean that when the time comes to generate the final PDF for printing, every such change has to be converted to actual italic and boldface.\n 4. Other conventions render the change from typescript format to ready-for-publication format unnecessarily difficult (for example, the first paragraph in each chapter in printed books is by convention not indented, whereas in a typescript it is indented).\nThis is certainly not to say that one can't use a word processor, but it's very difficult to make a professional-looking product without jumping through some hoops -- and writing is difficult enough already, without burdening oneself unnecessarily.\n\nHere is the same text, rendered in the VEDIT PLUSprogram that I use:\n\nRoughly twice as much text is immediately visible as one is working. Further, any good programming editor allows multiple independent split screens to be visible simultaneously, so that one can keep important text in full view on the screen. There are other advantages to such editors (such as in-context listing of all occurrences of a particular string, or lightning-fast search and replacement), but I find it hard to overestimate the usefulness of having so much text on the screen, especially if one maintains several independent panes open on different portions of the text, as I find myself doing.\n\nAnother advantage to using an editor is that the text is stored in a universal file format -- there is no chance of being unable to work on a book fifteen years later because one's word processing format is no longer fully supported by the current generation of products.\n\nReally, though, all these are relatively minor in comparison to the huge advantage of eschewing word processors (although cumulatively I think that they add up to a pretty strong argument in favour of the approach I use) -- and that comes into play when it's time to create publication-quality output.

At the time, Han China had been occupying Vietnam for about 200 years, and their hold on the region had only gotten stronger. It had been more than a century since the Trung Sisters\u00a0had risen up, and the Han had successfully removed Vietnamese rulers and officials from every position of power in the country. Chinese domination was so widespread that they commonly referred to the area as 'Am Nam', which, translated, meant 'conquered south'.\n\nWhen Ba Trieu was the sister of the powerful southern leader,\u00a0Trieu Quoc Dat. He had taken care of Ba Trieu after their parents died, and he himself was involved in a certain amount of rebellion. Therefor, it was no surprise when, at 19, Ba Trieu decided to get into the sedition game herself, despite her brother's counsel that she get married instead of cause insurrection.\n\nBa Trieu gathered her army of 1,000, and headed up the nearest mountain to train. Though this whole story is surrounded in myth, here is where it becomes really tricky to separate fact from fiction.

Related to both the Pope and the King of France, Charlie had a privileged upbringing, despite living in exile from his ancestral home. He was a keen hunter, and was well educated in both books and courtly manners. His father, James III and VIII, also known as 'The Old Pretender' raised him as the Prince of Wales, and awarded him several honors and orders of the British kingdom. Between this and his father's obsession with regaining his throne, it is no surprise that in his early 20s Charles devoted himself to reclaiming the English throne.\n\nIn 1745 Charlie invaded Scotland with the intent of ousting George I. Accompanied by an army of French and Scottish Highland supporters, Charlie managed to retake Scotland, and parts of England. However, due to infighting, desertion, lack of funds, and poor military choices on Charles' part, the Jacobites were defeated at the disastrous Battle of Culloden in 1746, and Charles Stuart fled back to France.\n\nThough he's hailed as a hero, the truth is that Charles\u00a0Edward Louis Philip Casimir Stuart peaked at 25.

The movement really got going though in 1714 when Queen Anne, the last of the Stuart Monarchs, was succeeded by German George I, the first monarch of the House of Hanover.\n\nThere were two uprisings prior to the Hanoverian take over, one in 1689, and one in 1708. The 1689 rebellion was lead by James II, the ousted Catholic King. James II's uprising was almost immediately after the 'Glorious Revolution', and was moderately successful. James II was proclaimed King of England, Scotland, and Ireland by a parliament held in Dublin, but his French-Scottish forces were ultimately defeated by William of Orange at the Battle of the Boyne. The 1708 uprising, largely French, was short lived and unsuccessful.\n\nThe next Jacobite uprising of note, 'The Fifteen', took place in 1715, directly after George I's succession to the throne. George I was vastly unpopular with a large percentage of the people. He was a foreigner, didn't speak English, and had an open disdain for England and its people. This, combined with a divided government made the Hanovers an easy target for John Erskine, 6th Duke of Mar. Erskine managed to raise a large part of the Northeast, and the Jacobite clans to the cause of James the III and VIII, and James set out for Scotland. While Erskine did progress as far as Perth, he was ultimately defeated by the Duke of Argyll, and James arrived too late to participate in any actual battling. However, though 'The Fifteen' was a failure, it was vital proof that a large scale uprising against the house of Hanover could be made. The proof remained strong in the minds of the exiled Stuarts and Jacobites even after the failure of the Highland Uprising of 1719.

At the time, Han China had been occupying Vietnam for about 200 years, and their hold on the region had only gotten stronger. It had been more than a century since the Trung Sisters\u00a0had risen up, and the Han had successfully removed Vietnamese rulers and officials from every position of power in the country. Chinese domination was so widespread that they commonly referred to the area as 'Am Nam', which, translated, meant 'conquered south'.\n\nWhen Ba Trieu was the sister of the powerful southern leader,\u00a0Trieu Quoc Dat. He had taken care of Ba Trieu after their parents died, and he himself was involved in a certain amount of rebellion. Therefor, it was no surprise when, at 19, Ba Trieu decided to get into the sedition game herself, despite her brother's counsel that she get married instead of cause insurrection.\n\nBa Trieu gathered her army of 1,000, and headed up the nearest mountain to train.

[1][2]\n\nSeveral Swedish authorities have been running a campaign for quite some time to ban and restrict the ownership of semiautomatic firearms and for example the previous EU Gunban of 2013\u00a0[3] was orchestrated and driven by Swedish Commisioner Cecilia Malmstr\u00f6m, supported by shady authorities making up the rules and \u201dfacts\u201d on the fly. Firerams United was originally founded to counter this outrageous and unjustified attack on civil liberties.\n\nWe have also heard that Swedish authorities have already denied at least three permits for sport shooters on grounds of the EU Firearms directive \u2013 which had not been even finished at the time, let alone in effect.\n\nOne common practice is also the misuse of tax payers funds by taking things to court \u2013 most of the time the sport shooters win the case and get their permits, and case is conveniently forgotten, but when authorities win a case, it comes a precedent which is used by the authorities to deny permits in the future. [1]\n\nWhen the latest round of firearms directive was discussed, Sweden sent their best experts in banning firearms to offer their ideologically coloured expertise and push for a stricter firearms directive. In other words, their agenda is now pushed over the Swedish borders and we have had enough of this now.\n\nFirearms United is supporting financially the Swedish shooters to take things to supreme court and put an end to this nonsense.\n\nThere is a case currently ongoing, which is widely known among the shooters in Sweden. A sport shooter has applied permit for modern semiautomatic sporting rifle for a sport called \u201dfree rifle\u201d which was denied by the authorities because the sport is practiced on club level and does not have authorized international organization behind it. The defendant has won in court already once, and now the case is going to the supreme court.\n\nThe stakes are high:\nIf authorities win, they can dictate which firearms are ok to use and which are not. It is probably end of the IPSC in Sweden as we know it. Actually, if authorities win, they would have a capability to dictate which forms of sport would approved in Sweden, and which are not.\n\nTo put it simply, we do not want the future of for example IPSC in Sweden be in the hands of an person who has stated about IPSC \u201cIf they want to play war they can take up paintball\u201d and who has stated in court that scopes of high magnification, weapon lights and picatinny rails should be only allowed for police and military use.\n\nIf the free citizens win, they will have a powerful precedent on their side.\n\nAs usual, the authorities (mis)using tax payer funds so there is no end to their war chest. Swedish shooters have been running a campaign to fund the fight which might cost as much as 20 000 \u20ac, and have collected 90% of the sum. Firearms United will provide the missing 2000 \u20ac to fill the war chest and support taking the fight back to the authorities.\n\n\na) As a principle, this case is of utmost importance for the future of civilian firearms ownership in Sweden, as the police authority may severely limit it, should they win the case.\n\nb) Swedish sport shooters have been very active in Firearms United.\n\nc) Authorities can not make rules up as they go.\n\nd) Payback. Opportunity for payback for everything since the Firearms Directive update in 2013.\n\nTime to fight back!\n\nUnited we stand, divided we fall.\n\n* Clarification: Firearms United is not involved in the case in any other way than that we are following the", "base_doc": " Google will view 102 links on a page as spam, but this was incorrect.\n\nA lot has changed since then\n\nNow though, the web has grown, and various web technologies have developed.

Firerams United was originally founded to counter this outrageous and unjustified attack on civil liberties.\n\nWe have also heard that Swedish authorities have already denied at least three permits for sport shooters on grounds of the EU Firearms directive \u2013 which had not been even finished at the time, let alone in effect.\n\nOne common practice is also the misuse of tax payers funds by taking things to court \u2013 most of the time the sport shooters win the case and get their permits, and case is conveniently forgotten, but when authorities win a case, it comes a precedent which is used by the authorities to deny permits in the future. [1]\n\nWhen the latest round of firearms directive was discussed, Sweden sent their best experts in banning firearms to offer their ideologically coloured expertise and push for a stricter firearms directive. In other words, their agenda is now pushed over the Swedish borders and we have had enough of this now.\n\nFirearms United is supporting financially the Swedish shooters to take things to supreme court and put an end to this nonsense.\n\nThere is a case currently ongoing, which is widely known among the shooters in Sweden. A sport shooter has applied permit for modern semiautomatic sporting rifle for a sport called \u201dfree rifle\u201d which was denied by the authorities because the sport is practiced on club level and does not have authorized international organization behind it. The defendant has won in court already once, and now the case is going to the supreme court.\n\nThe stakes are high:\nIf authorities win, they can dictate which firearms are ok to use and which are not. It is probably end of the IPSC in Sweden as we know it. Actually, if authorities win, they would have a capability to dictate which forms of sport would approved in Sweden, and which are not.\n\nTo put it simply, we do not want the future of for example IPSC in Sweden be in the hands of an person who has stated about IPSC \u201cIf they want to play war they can take up paintball\u201d and who has stated in court that scopes of high magnification, weapon lights and picatinny rails should be only allowed for police and military use.\n\nIf the free citizens win, they will have a powerful precedent on their side.\n\nAs usual, the authorities (mis)using tax payer funds so there is no end to their war chest. Swedish shooters have been running a campaign to fund the fight which might cost as much as 20 000 \u20ac, and have collected 90% of the sum. Firearms United will provide the missing 2000 \u20ac to fill the war chest and support taking the fight back to the authorities.\n\n\na) As a principle, this case is of utmost importance for the future of civilian firearms ownership in Sweden, as the police authority may severely limit it, should they win the case.\n\nb) Swedish sport shooters have been very active in Firearms United.\n\nc) Authorities can not make rules up as they go.\n\nd) Payback. Opportunity for payback for everything since the Firearms Directive update in 2013.\n\nTime to fight back!\n\nUnited we stand, divided we fall.\n\n* Clarification: Firearms United is not involved in the case in any other way than that we are following the process and that we decided to donate to the cause. To donate is open to anyone that want to support the cause. Why we decided to donate stands clear in the text above, principally this is a very important case. The text above is to be seen as an explanation and justification to our followers and donors as to why we decided to donate. And to why this case is so important that we decided to support an individual case. Which we normally don\u2019t do.\n\nThe donation comes from Firearms United Fighting Fund which was funded by firearms enthusiasts during our common fight against EU directive.\n\n\n\n\n\n2 Comments on \u201cFirearms United is going to Supreme Court \u2013 In Sweden!\u201d\n\n 1.

It may also include power stain removal and instantaneous laser teeth whitening. In general dentistry, the dental hygienist thoroughly cleans your teeth and advises you about your oral hygiene and how to look after your teeth. These days, flexible dentures are also available. These flexible dentures are based on a flexible material, they are easier to wear, comfortable, easily adapt to slight changes in the shape of the mouth (e.g. when eating) and are cosmetically indistinguishable from your natural teeth. What more is needed?\n\nDentists specializing in orthodontics, provide treatment for straightening of misaligned teeth and correcting bite problems. Conventional orthodontic braces are made from springs and wires that are often visible, permanently fixed to the teeth and can be unsightly and embarrassing. Fixed braces can also interfere with the oral hygiene. But this embarrassment can be avoided, thanks to advancement in cosmetic dentistry. Invisalign, the latest in cosmetic orthodontics, are virtually invisible, removable clear aligners. Now it is possible to have your teeth straightened without it being obvious to everyone around you. You can easily remove the clear aligners whilst eating and when cleaning your teeth.\n\nTraditional dentures continue to be chosen by many people, but they have their limitations; removable dentures can be difficult to manage, sometimes they do not fit properly which causes problems speaking and eating. Wearers of fixed dentures which are attached directly to the jawbone and can only be removed by a dentist experience the same problem of achieving a comfortable fit that plagues the removable type of denture as well. Caring for your denture on a daily basis can heighten your sense of well being, and compliment your appearance. In addition, clean dentures help keep the tissues in your mouth healthy and free from unfavorable changes. Your dentures have been fabricated using high quality materials and it is extremely important that you provide them proper care to get the best service from them.\n\nThe cost of quality dentistry, especially cosmetic dentistry is best considered as an investment in your health. When you have experienced physical trauma and need to have teeth replaced, keep in mind that the cost of dental implants is based on their prominent function. Teeth play a role in your ability to speak clearly, prepare your food for digestion by your body and support your facial features. Your mouth is the gateway to your body and oral hygiene or the lack of it can be a contributing factor to the support or the deterioration of your health as a whole. Many dentists have flexible plans to accommodate credit cards, insurance and cash payments. But beyond financing the procedure, the most important thing is for you to discuss with your dentist whether cosmetic dentures or dental implants are the best choice for you.#\n\nStory highlightsCross infection at the dentist's office is rare, but importantPatients should ask questions about their dentist's sterilization proceduresBe alert and watch the gloves and instrumentsAsk for validation of the sterilization machineThe recent news in Tulsa, Oklahoma, brings to light an issue that is rare, but nonetheless important -- cross infection in the dental office, or the transfer of infection from one patient to another in a health care environment.\n\nThe unfortunate reality is that you, as the consumer, have very little chance of knowing what's going on -- it's a huge trust relationship. Cross contamination is literally invisible because it's caused by microbes invisible to the human eye, so only the professionals can guarantee that it doesn't happen.\n\nThat doesn't mean it's out of your control. Use this checklist to find out how seriously your dentist takes the issue of infection control procedures.\n\n1. Watch the gloves\n\nYou would never use a cutting board used for raw chicken to chop up some broccoli unless you washed it first -- and preventing cross infection in the dental office is no different.\n\nAsk yourself:\n\n-- How does my dentist put on gloves? Gloves put on by your dentist should come out of the glove dispenser, not off an unsterilized countertop.\n\n-- What does my dentist touch with the gloves? Your dentist should only touch the sterile instruments or your mouth -- if anything else gets touched or if the dentist leaves the room, it's time for a new pair of gloves.\n\n-- How many soap containers do I see in the office? Soap containers should be visible and everywhere and dentist and staff should be making use of them in front of you, in addition to using gloves.\n\nAsk your dentist:\n\n-- Do you change your gloves for every patient? Gloves should absolutely be changed in between patients.\n\n2. Check out the office\n\nA clean, uncluttered office can be an indication of how serious your dentist is about sterilization. If the office is cluttered, it's harder to clean.\n\nAsk yourself:\n\n-- How clean is the office? Is it tidy and uncluttered? If there's lots of junk on the countertops, that can make for surfaces that aren't easily sterilized.\n\n-- Are there carpets? Carpets can't be sterilized, but hospital-grade linoleum floors can. These can all be indications of how serious a dentist is about cleanliness.\n\n-- Are there special containers for disposal of needles and sharp items? If you can't see them, ask where they're kept. Devices have to either be sterilized or thrown away. A dentist should be using these containers to dispose of used devices and using new ones on the next patient.\n\nAsk your dentist:\n\n-- Are operatory rooms (the room where the dental chair is) cleaned between patients? The staff should be disinfecting the surfaces in the operatory between every patient.\n\n-- Where do you disinfect instruments? There should be a single room or space in the dental office that is completely dedicated to the disinfection of instruments. Ask your dentist to tell you about this space and what the procedures are.\n\n-- How do you sterilize your instruments? Instruments should be sterilized in between each patient, including the dental drill.\n\n-- How do you know that the sterilizer is working properly? This brings me to my next point.\n\n3. Ask for autoclave validation\n\nIn my office, this is a form that we keep on our bulletin board. It's a certificate from a third party company that sends the dentist a package full of envelopes of bacteria that are difficult to kill.\n\nThe dentist or staff will put these bacteria into the sterilization machine -- or autoclave, in dental terms -- weekly or monthly, put the package into the mail, and the company analyzes the package and sends a report to the dentist on how well the sterilization machine is functioning. Another word for this is biological monitoring.\n\nAsk your dentist:\n\n-- May I see a copy of your autoclave validation? If your dentist is willing and able to show you this report, this demonstrates a commitment and dedication to protecting your health. If your dentist doesn't want to show you or gets defensive, this could be a red flag.\n\n4. Check the instruments\n\nYour dentist should be unwrapping a sealed bag of instruments in front of you. A sealed bag indicates that the instruments have been sterilized -- or in dental terms, autoclaved -- by a machine. If bag is already open, then it's possible that those are used instruments that contain another person's germs.\n\nAsk yourself:\n\n-- Where did the instrument come from? Once instruments are out of the sterilized bag, your dentist should leave them on a sterile tray, not a dirty countertop.\n\nAsk your dentist:\n\n-- Do you use the bags that change color when they're autoclaved? Many autoclave bags have a color indicator on them to indicate that the instruments inside were properly sterilized. Not all bags have this, but it can start a good conversation with your dentist about sterilization procedures used in the office.\n\n5. Speak up\n\nNever be afraid to ask questions. A good dentist will be proud to tell you of the measures the office takes to ensure your safety, protection and well-being.\n\nAsk your dentist:\n\n-- \"In your office, how do you guarantee that you do not cross infect patients?\" The dentist's reaction to this alone is telling. The dentist and staff should be dedicated to answering your questions and making you feel comfortable.\n\nAnd do your research. The more you know about this topic, the better able you will be to engage in a conversation with your dentist. Do a background check. Usually, there's a governing body that oversees dentists in your state. They keep a record of infractions -- call to find out if your dentist is on that list.

The process can target specific soil layers. By drilling through dense materials, it is possible to access and treat weaker lower layers.

Natal report: p.847\nSibly's source: Gadbury\n\nALEXANDER the G R E A T. Born in Lat. 42.\n\nThe person of this illustrious monarch is most aptly described by the respective significators of his geniture, in the annexed plate. We find the lord of the ascendant, and the two luminaries, are in Cancer, Virgo, and Taurus, all which are signs of brevity, and denote a low or mean stature ; and, as Saturn, lord of the ascendant, is posited in a pitted degree of Taurus, it shows that he was wry-necked, constantly holding his head on one side. He was likewise hasty and choleric; which is described by the Moon in conjunction with Mars, a configuration that gave him at the same time an uncommon share of courage, an intrepid spirit, and an unconquerable mind. Experience hath taught, that Venus adorns and enriches that part of the body which is governed by the sign in which she happens to be posited at the hour of birth. In this nativity, Venus is in nineteen degrees forty minutes of Leo, which represents the back and heart : and, in conjunction of Jupiter. These circumstances prove the native to have been endowed with a large, benevolent, and courageous, heart, all of which, in the course of his life and actions, were in a thousand instances exemplified. Nor are these excellent endowments prefigured only by the benefic irradiations of Jupiter and Venus ; they are further illustrated and strengthened by the north node of the Moon falling in the ascendant, while Saturn, the dispositor thereof, is in trine to the Moon and Mars, and the Sun, in the exaltation of Jupiter, in trine of them all.\n\nThe time of this monarch's inauguration and investiture of the kingdom is prefigured by the trine of the midheaven with Venus ; at the fame time that Venus is within orbs of a conjunction with Jupiter, who is lord of the tenth and eleventh houses, which have designation of the crown, kingdom, and people. The direction of these aspects came up in about twenty-one years from the native's birth, at which time coronation took place ; when he, in every sense of the word, began to reign in the hearts of his people.\n\nIn this nativity, the moon is certainly Hyleg, and is therefore to be directed for death. The Sun, Mars, and Mercury, are co-significators of death ; and, hence it is that the learned Gadbury attributed his death to poison, which misfortune befell him when the Moon came to the quartile of Mercury in the eighth house. This prediction of the native being poisoned, is unquestionably confirmed by what is recorded of Olympias his mother ; who having, fix years after his death, discovered the fact, caused many suspected persons to be put to death as accessories in the murder.\n\nback\u00a0return to 'Sibly's Historical Horoscopes'\nD.

The process can target specific soil layers. By drilling through dense materials, it is possible to access and treat weaker lower layers. This technique is also used to fill voids.\n\nContact one of our experts today!<|endoftext|>Hemisphere refers to each of the two halves of a sphere, divided by a maximum circle.\u00a0The meridian determines the southern and northern hemisphere and the equator determines the western and eastern hemispheres.\n\nIn mathematics, the hemisphere is each of the two halves of a sphere divided by a plane that passes through its center.\n\nIn anatomy, the word hemisphere is each of the two halves of the brain, one left and one right.\n\nThe word hemisphere is formed by Greek roots,\u00a0hemi\u00a0that means \u2018half\u2019 and\u00a0sphera\u00a0that expresses \u2018sphere\u2019.\n\nBrain hemispheres\n\nThe brain has a sagittal fissure in the midline, which is known as interhemispheric or longitudinal cerebral fissure, which divides the brain into the right hemisphere and left hemisphere.\n\nThe left hemisphere of the brain controls the functions of speech, writing, numbering, mathematics and logic.\u00a0According to British neurologist John Hughlings Jackson, the left hemisphere is the center of the faculty of expression and an embolism, depending on its severity, can affect this structure and cause functional losses, and motor skills on the right side of the body.\n\nAs for the right hemisphere, she regulates nonverbal faculties such as sensations, feelings, prosody, visual and sound, artistic and musical abilities.\n\nSouthern and Northern Hemisphere\n\nThe southern hemisphere, also called southern or southern, is mostly made up of oceans and includes most of the Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean, entirely the Antarctic Glacial Ocean and the southern half of the Atlantic Ocean.\n\nSome of the countries that make up this hemisphere are: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia South Africa, Mozambique, Angola, among others.\n\nIn the southern hemisphere, the summer solstice happens between December 21-23 and the winter solstice happens between June 21-23.\u00a0The autumn equinox occurs between March 20 and 21, and the spring equinox is held between September 22 and 23.\n\nThe northern hemisphere, also known as north or north, comprises Europe, North America, Central America, the Arctic, almost all of Asia, much of Africa, the northern part of South America and some smaller islands of Oceania.\n\nIn the northern hemisphere, the summer solstice occurs between June 21-23, and the winter solstice occurs between December 22-23.\u00a0For its part, the autumn equinox takes place between September 22 and 23, while the spring equinox occurs between March 20 and 21.\n\nMagdeburg Hemispheres\n\nThe Magdeburg hemispheres are two copper hemispheres, coupled to form a closed sphere and demonstrate the power of atmospheric pressure.\u00a0The demonstration consisted of separating both hemispheres sealed at their edge and without air, extracted by a pneumatic machine or pump, creating a vacuum.\n\nThe hemispheres of Magdeburg were designed in 1656, by the German and Burgundian scientist from Magdeburg, Otto von Guericke, with the aim of showing the concept of atmospheric pressure, being currently an invention used in physics laboratories with the same objective of scientific.<|endoftext|>Client 7\n\nYotam Adler\n\nQuality Assurance\n\nAmigo.

Natal report: p.847\nSibly's source: Gadbury\n\nALEXANDER the G R E A T. Born in Lat. 42.\n\nThe person of this illustrious monarch is most aptly described by the respective significators of his geniture, in the annexed plate. We find the lord of the ascendant, and the two luminaries, are in Cancer, Virgo, and Taurus, all which are signs of brevity, and denote a low or mean stature ; and, as Saturn, lord of the ascendant, is posited in a pitted degree of Taurus, it shows that he was wry-necked, constantly holding his head on one side. He was likewise hasty and choleric; which is described by the Moon in conjunction with Mars, a configuration that gave him at the same time an uncommon share of courage, an intrepid spirit, and an unconquerable mind. Experience hath taught, that Venus adorns and enriches that part of the body which is governed by the sign in which she happens to be posited at the hour of birth. In this nativity, Venus is in nineteen degrees forty minutes of Leo, which represents the back and heart : and, in conjunction of Jupiter. These circumstances prove the native to have been endowed with a large, benevolent, and courageous, heart, all of which, in the course of his life and actions, were in a thousand instances exemplified. Nor are these excellent endowments prefigured only by the benefic irradiations of Jupiter and Venus ; they are further illustrated and strengthened by the north node of the Moon falling in the ascendant, while Saturn, the dispositor thereof, is in trine to the Moon and Mars, and the Sun, in the exaltation of Jupiter, in trine of them all.\n\nThe time of this monarch's inauguration and investiture of the kingdom is prefigured by the trine of the midheaven with Venus ; at the fame time that Venus is within orbs of a conjunction with Jupiter, who is lord of the tenth and eleventh houses, which have designation of the crown, kingdom, and people. The direction of these aspects came up in about twenty-one years from the native's birth, at which time coronation took place ; when he, in every sense of the word, began to reign in the hearts of his people.\n\nIn this nativity, the moon is certainly Hyleg, and is therefore to be directed for death. The Sun, Mars, and Mercury, are co-significators of death ; and, hence it is that the learned Gadbury attributed his death to poison, which misfortune befell him when the Moon came to the quartile of Mercury in the eighth house. This prediction of the native being poisoned, is unquestionably confirmed by what is recorded of Olympias his mother ; who having, fix years after his death, discovered the fact, caused many suspected persons to be put to death as accessories in the murder.\n\nback\u00a0return to 'Sibly's Historical Horoscopes'\nD.

You are already late for work, and the car just won\u2019t start. How to deal with it? Can the battery be charged in the car and if yes, then how? We explain basic rules and debunk myths. Also, we advise how to effectively and, above all, safely charge the battery.\n\nBasic terms and rules\n\nA dead battery is always a big problem for the driver who is in a hurry. If you have been knowingly using heating on a stop or listening to music for several hours, a dead battery should not come as a big surprise.\n\nThe situation is different with normal car use. If your car increasingly often refuses to start, you have reasons to worry.\n\nThere can be many causes of it. Remember that the car\u2019s energy balance should be stable, whereas the alternator\u00a0 is supposed to produce exactly the amount of power that you use. But it only takes a minor failure, which you may not even be aware of, to disturb the balance. Sometimes the same battery in the same model may operate seamlessly in one unit even for several years, whereas in another it shows the first signs of wear and malfunction already after a few months.\n\nIt may be caused by a minor defect, e.g. a rusty ground cable of the engine, an inefficient alternator, or car misuse. When you cover short distances within the city, you often get stuck in traffic jams and intensely use heating or other power-hungry features. In such circumstances, the battery will not be able to fully charge.\n\nIn such case a good idea is to charge the battery using a rectifier. This is particularly recommended in the winter, when there is big frost, which has a negative impact on battery performance.\n\nCan you charge the battery in the car?\n\nIs it possible to charge the battery in the car? Many drivers will surely say yes. But with today\u2019s new technology and advanced solutions, charging the battery in the car is unnecessary and may lead to many problems and costly defects.\n\nOf course, a defective battery is a nightmare for every driver, and taking it out of the car, carrying home and charging can be quite a hassle. After a few days it crosses your mind to connect the rectifier directly to the battery\u2019s clamp, which is installed in the car. \u201cThe mechanic did the same in the repair shop and everything was fine!\u201d most drivers would think. The idea is tempting to most owners of modern cars, in which taking out the battery usually results in resetting the computer and, in extreme cases, the need to visit a repair shop, e.g. in case of complicated LPG systems with drivers etc. So, go for it or not?\n\nBuying a rectifier \u2013 is it always so beneficial?\n\nIf you do not have a professional rectifier, or you have a modern car with lots of electronics, charging the battery without disassembling it is not recommended. Of course, you can buy sophisticated battery-charging equipment, i.e. one which is usually available in good repair shops, but the cost is several or a dozen or so thousand zlotys, which is totally uneconomic for home use.\n\nThe generally available rectifiers, e.g. in supermarkets, specialist stores or at gas stations, are unsuitable for charging the batteries installed in the cars. Such solutions do not have appropriate fire safety measures, which are necessary if you want to charge the battery installed under the bonnet. Many disruptions, or the so called voltage peaks, occur while charging, during which voltage spikes may be as high as a few dozen volts.\n\nIf the battery is charged out of the car, the effects will be virtually unnoticed. However, if the voltage spikes occur in the car\u2019s installation, i.e. as a result of charging the battery without disassembling, it may lead to damaging the car\u2019s electronics, e.g. computer, software etc. In extreme cases, this might even end in a short circuit, screen damage, e.g. navigation, or opening airbags. As you can see, time savings and convenience may lead to very serious consequences.\n\nWhy does the alternator sometimes fail to charge the battery?\n\nThe alternator\n\nApart from the previously mentioned reasons related to car use, i.e. short distances within the city, being stuck in traffic jams, intensive use of power-hungry systems etc., insufficient charging of the battery may result from an inefficient or damaged alternator. Unfortunately, there may be multiple points of failure: V-belt or ribbed belt drive, problems with brushes or bearings etc.\n\nThe most common cause of poor alternator performance are worn-out brushes. In order to check if they need to be replaced, you just turn the ignition key and then observe the charging indicator on the dashboard. If it displays a poor, hardly visible light, the alternator\u2019s brushes should be replaced. Unfortunately, due to a complicated design and lots of default security measures, replacing the brushes at home will be very difficult, or even impossible. Instead of risking the complete damage to the alternator, a much better solution is to entrust its repair to a professional repair shop, even more so since such service should not be expensive, i.e. PLN 100-150.\n\nDefective bearings\n\nAnother, slightly more serious problem are defective bearings. To identify the problem, you just need to race the engine. If an unidentified noise intensifies with the increase in rotational speed, it is likely coming from the alternator, or more specifically from damaged bearings. Their replacement is not expensive either and can be done by most repair shops.\n\nCracked alternator cover\n\nA cracked alternator cover is a problem which may have much more serious consequences. Its replacement is virtually uneconomic, just like regenerating the entire part, since in most cases the cost will be so high that it will be much more reasonable to buy a new alternator. Is there any cheaper alternative?\n\nOne solution is, of course, to buy a regenerated alternator, which usually does equally well as the new one, but is much cheaper.\u00a0\n\nWhat happens in the battery during charging?\n\nDuring battery use, the number of sulphuric acid molecules in the electrolyte grows, which increases its density. Lead sulphate turns into metallic lead, which deposits on the negative plate, and lead dioxide, which deposits on the positive plate. As charging progresses, an electromotive force develops between the heteronymous plates until the value in the range from 2.4 to 2.75 V per cell is reached.\u00a0\n\nSuch state means that the entire lead sulphate has been processed, which then triggers decomposition of water in the electrolyte. As a result of the process, hydrogen is produced on the negative plate and oxygen on the positive plate. This is commonly referred to as gas discharge, which should be the first signal to disconnect the battery from the rectifier.\u00a0\n\nHow to avoid the risk of explosion during charging?\u00a0\n\nDuring battery charging an inflammable and explosive gas is produced. What is important, the gas is produced both during charging with a rectifier, e.g. in a garage, and during driving, when the battery is charged by the alternator. For the reasons mentioned above, bending over an engine with a cigarette or illuminating the engine chamber with a lighter is a very bad idea.\n\nA problem may also appear if the battery is overcharged. If you are using a damaged or improper rectifier, which is not equipped with protective electronic measures against overcharging, and you forget to unplug it, it may lead to electrolyte boiling over. This may occur during driving, if the voltage regulator is damaged. Fire can also be caused by a short circuit,", "base_doc": " there is no harm for the otherwise calm, composed, and dignified to throw occasional caution to the wind, let the hair loose, and cheer with jingoist ferver that they seldom feel in their placid lives.\n\n Not suggesting that we burn the house down, but ok to flock the roads, honk, celebrate, shout.

You are already late for work, and the car just won\u2019t start. How to deal with it? Can the battery be charged in the car and if yes, then how? We explain basic rules and debunk myths. Also, we advise how to effectively and, above all, safely charge the battery.\n\nBasic terms and rules\n\nA dead battery is always a big problem for the driver who is in a hurry. If you have been knowingly using heating on a stop or listening to music for several hours, a dead battery should not come as a big surprise.\n\nThe situation is different with normal car use. If your car increasingly often refuses to start, you have reasons to worry.\n\nThere can be many causes of it. Remember that the car\u2019s energy balance should be stable, whereas the alternator\u00a0 is supposed to produce exactly the amount of power that you use. But it only takes a minor failure, which you may not even be aware of, to disturb the balance. Sometimes the same battery in the same model may operate seamlessly in one unit even for several years, whereas in another it shows the first signs of wear and malfunction already after a few months.\n\nIt may be caused by a minor defect, e.g. a rusty ground cable of the engine, an inefficient alternator, or car misuse. When you cover short distances within the city, you often get stuck in traffic jams and intensely use heating or other power-hungry features. In such circumstances, the battery will not be able to fully charge.\n\nIn such case a good idea is to charge the battery using a rectifier. This is particularly recommended in the winter, when there is big frost, which has a negative impact on battery performance.\n\nCan you charge the battery in the car?\n\nIs it possible to charge the battery in the car? Many drivers will surely say yes.

This may occur during driving, if the voltage regulator is damaged. Fire can also be caused by a short circuit, which may occur if you fail to correctly connect the charger, or upon trying to start the car by pushing it or using cables.\n\nWhat does the need to frequently charge the battery mean?\n\nThe biggest enemies of any battery include long-term discharge, undercharge or overcharge. Any disturbance of the battery\u2019s natural cycle adversely affects its longevity and performance. Reasons for this may include either car misuse or too weak", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 139190, "pt_loc": 24626731, "pt_shuffle_idx": 98078486, "doc_index_f": 153737112, "doc_index_l": 153737113, "offset_f": 1904, "offset_l": 1716, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 88, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [332, 1717]} -{"pt_doc": "The following are multiple choice questions (with answers) about high school macroeconomics.\n\nWhich of the following choices is most likely to create the greatest decrease in real GDP?\nA.

But God \ntakes care of these mourners, that their spirits do not fail before \nhim, and the souls that he has made; I mean those of his elect, whom \nhe is this way preparing for, and bringing unto Christ. \n Secondly, The Lord is pleased to nourish still some hope in the \nsoul under the greatest fears and troubles of spirit. Though it have \nno comfort or joy, yet it has some hope, and that keeps up the \nheart. The afflicted soul does, in this case, as the afflicted \nchurch, Lam. 3: 29. \"He putteth his mouth in the dust, if yet there \nmay be hope:\" He saith, \"It is good for a man to hope, and quietly \nto wait for the salvation of God.\" There are usually some \nglimmerings or downings of mercy through Christ, in the midnight \ndarkness of inward troubles; non dantur purae, tenabrae. In hell, \nindeed, there is no hope to enlighten the darkness, but it is not so \nupon earth. \n Thirdly, The experiences of others, who have been in the same \ndeeps of trouble, are also of great use to keep up the soul above \nwater. The experience of another is of great use to prop up a \ndesponding mind, whilst as yet it has none of its own; and, in deed, \nfor the support of souls in such cases, they were recorded. 1 Tim. \n1: 16. \"For this cause I obtained mercy that in me first Jesus \nChrist might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern \"to them \nwhich should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.\" For an \nencouraging Pattern, an eminent precedent to all poor sinners that \nwere to come after him, that none might absolutely despair of \nfinding mercy through Christ. You know if a man be taken sick, and \nnone can tell what the disease is, none can say that ever they heard \nof such a disease before, it is exceeding frightful; but if one and \nanother, it may be twenty, come to the sick man's bed side, and tell \nhim, sir, be not afraid, I have been in the very same case that you \nnow are in, and so have many more, and all did well at last; why \nthis is half a cure to the sick man. So it is here a great support \nto hear the experiences of other saints. \n Fourthly, As the experiences of others support the soul under \nthese burdens, so the riches of free grace through Jesus Christ \nuphold it. It is rich and abundant, Psal. 130: 7, 8. plenteous \nredemption; and it is free, and to the worst of sinners, Isa. 1: 18. \nAnd under these troubles it finds itself in the way and proper \nmethod of mercy, for so my text (a text that has upheld many \nthousand drooping hearts) states it. All this gives hope and \nencouragement under trouble. \n Fifthly, and lastly, Though the state of the soul be sad and \nsinking, yet Jesus Christ usually makes haste in the extremity of \ntrouble to relieve it by sweet and seasonable discoveries of his \ngrace; cum duplicantur lateris, venit Moses, in the mount of the \nLord it shall be seen. It is with Christ as it was with Joseph, \nwhose bowels yearned towards his brethren, and he was in pain till \nhe had told them, \"I am Joseph your brother.\" This is sweetly \nexhibited to us in that excellent parable of the prodigal, Luke 15, \nwhen his father saw him, being yet a great way off, he ran and fell \nupon his neck, and kissed him. Mercy runs nimbly to help, when souls \nare ready to fall under the pressure of sin. And thus you see both \nhow they are burdened, and how upheld under the burden. \n Thirdly, If it be enquired, in the last place, why God makes \nthe burden of sin press so heavy upon the hearts of poor sinners? It \nis answered, \n First, He does it to divorce their hearts from sin, by giving \nthem an experimental taste of the bitterness and evil that is in \nsin. Men's hearts are naturally glued with delight to their sinful \ncourses; all the persuasions and arguments in the world are too weak \nto separate them from their beloved lusts. The morsels of sin go \ndown smoothly and sweetly, they roll them with much delectation \nunder their tongues, and it is but need that such bitter potions as \nthese should be administered \"to make their stomachs rise against \nsin\", as that word used by the apostle in 2 Cor. 7: 11. signifies, \nin that ye sorrowed after a Godly sort, what indignation it wrought? \nIt notes the rising of the stomach with rage, a being angry even \nunto sickness; and this is the way, the best and most effectual way \nto separate the soul of a sinner from his lusts; for, in these \ntroubles, conscience saith, as it is in Jer. 4: 18. \"Thy way and thy \nbecause it is great, because it reacheth unto thy heart.\" \n Secondly, The Lord does this to make Jesus Christ most welcome \nand desirable to the soul. Christ is not sweet till sin be made \nbitter to us. Matth. 9: 12. \"They that be whole need not a \nphysician, but they that are sick.\" If once God wounds the heart of \na sinner, with the stinging sense of sin, then nothing in the world \nis so precious, so necessary, so vehemently desired and panted for \nas Jesus Christ! O that I had Christ, if I did go in rags, if I did \nfeed upon no other food all my days, but the bread and water of \naffliction! This is the language of a soul filled with the sense of \nthe evil of sin. \n Thirdly, The Lord does this to advance the riches of his free \ngrace in the eyes of sinners. Grace never appears grace till sin \nappear to be sin. The deeper our sense of the evil of sin is, the \ndeeper our apprehensions of the free grace of God in Christ will be. \nThe louder our groan have been under the burden of sin, the louder \nwill our acclamations and praises be for our salvation from it by \nJesus Christ. \"To me (saith Paul) the chiefest of sinners, was this \ngrace given,\" 1 Tim. 1: 15. Never does the grace of a prince so melt \nthe heart of a traitor, as when trial, sentence, and all \npreparations for his execution have passed, before his unexpected \npardon comes. \n Fourthly, The Lord does this to prevent relapses into sin: \"In \nthat you sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought!\" \n2 Cor. 2:7. The burnt child dreads the fire, the bird that is de of \nthe talons of the hawk, trembles afterwards at the noise of his \nbells. \"After such a deliverance as this, should we again break thy \ncommandments?\" Ezra 9: 13, 14. Ask poor penitent soul, that has been \nin the deeps of sorrow for sin, Will you return to your former \ncourse of sin again? And it sounds in his ears, as if you should ask \nhim, Will you run into the fire? Will you go to the rack again? O \nno, it has cost him dear already. \n Fifthly, Lastly, This the Lord does, to make them both skilful \nand compassionate in relieving others that are under like inward \ntroubles. None can speak so judiciously, so pertinently, so \nfeelingly to another's case, as he that has been in the same case \nhimself; this furnishes them with the tongue of the learned, to \nspeak a word in season to the weary soul; by this means they", "base_doc": " covenant, and the \nfirst promise of Christ made to him) yet the souls that are thus \nheavy laden, do not sink, because God has a most tender care over \nthem, and regard to them; underneath them are the everlasting arms, \nand thence it is they sink not: were they left to grapple with these \ntroubles in their own strength, they could never stand.

Yes, because he can identify the data upon which his opinion is based.\nB. Yes, because an expert may base his opinion on facts made known to him at the trial.\nC. No, because he has no personal knowledge of the wife's death.\nD. No, because the cause of death is an issue to be decided by the jury.\nAnswer: B<|endoftext|> and the view was fantastic.

During our trip it seemed like we were bringing bad luck with us. Everywhere we went seemed to be affected by fires. Later on in our trip, driving from Yellowstone to Salt Lake City, there were fires behind us, one popped up to the east as we were driving, and there were a few more in southern Utah that were threatening to close the road ahead of us. We did our best to avoid them, but we had to make a few major changes to our plan. Initially, we were going to be staying inside Rocky Mountain National Park, camping there for two days after our night in Denver. But there was a massive fire just east of the park, so we stayed an extra day in Denver and added another day to Salt Lake City. It all worked out quite nicely.\n\nSo that Saturday we awoke in our hotel, ready for another day in the mile-high city. We headed downtown to see the Capitol Building and City Hall, but quickly realized they were closed for the weekend. The buildings were beautiful and were built in that same neoclassic American style that many federal buildings are built in. The Capitol has a large, gold dome at its top and faces a long, green park with City Hall at the other end. While we were walking to City Hall to look around, we ran into some hobos who were a bit feisty for 10 in the morning, so we didn't stay long. We decided to head to Boulder.\n\nBoulder, CO is a beautiful city with a very cool downtown area featuring the Pearl Street Mall and Central Park which runs along Boulder Creek. Pearl Street Mall is a pedestrian mall with lots of trees, mini parks for kids, sculptures, and lots of local shops and restaurants. About halfway down, there was a big street fair with lots of shops, a big tent full of dancing people, and tasty smelling food. One thing I love about street fairs and farmers markets is that there's always someone selling beef jerky and they're always giving away free samples. Don't mind if I do, sir! Well, we walked up and down, checked out a few shops, bought a frisbee, and finally got a gluten-free pizza, this time at BJ's Brewhouse! At BJ's we picked up a map of the local area and used it to find somewhere else to go. This is how we found Central Park and Boulder Creek.\n\nCentral Park is a long strip of land with lots of trees, hidden pathways, Boulder Creek running down the middle, and a big library at the end. People were everywhere that day, no doubt trying to get some relief from the heat by jumping in the creek. Despite my hope that we would be able to enjoy cooler climes as we drove north, we were in the middle of a heat wave and Colorado was pushing above 100 degrees while we were there. Everyone at Central Park was either splashing around on the banks of the creek or riding down on\u00a0inner-tubes. The library sits on the south side of the creek, but has an indoor bridge that connects it to an art gallery on the north side. The bridge had windows along its entire length with chairs and tables where you could sit and enjoy the view. It was a very nice library. They had a self-checkout! On the way back to our car, we took a secret-looking path along the creek, got a little lost and ended up a bit past our car, but we made it out safely. We popped a few postcards in a nearby mailbox, and drove back to Denver.\n\nWe made a quick stop at our hotel for that night, a TownePlace Suites in Aurora. After staying at the Burnsley the night before, we hadn't anticipated having another nice hotel, but this one was pretty great. The Burnsley might have been swankier, but the TownePlace Suites was much more appropriate for our needs. The Burnsley was more like a luxurious studio apartment, whereas TownePlace was the perfect hotel room. Whenever I'm in a hotel room that's too big, I always feel like I'm wasting my money. \"Look at all this space! \u00a0We could fit four more people in here,\" I think to myself. But this hotel was nice, clean, comfortable, and exactly the amount of space we needed. I think I liked it better than the swanky Burnsley. Anyway, we threw our bags in the room and went to 16th Street, downtown Denver.\n\nIt was yet another pedestrian mall, but on a massive scale. It's about 1.25 miles, but feels even longer than that. There are hundreds of shops and restaurants, big and small, and there's a free shuttle that runs the span of it. I still haven't gotten the hang of finding parking in big cities like this. It's always a challenge and this time I managed to turn the wrong way down a one-way street in search of proper parking. Thank goodness the cars were still far away! I quickly turned down another street. Well, we eventually paid way too much for parking and began walking. The whole place has lots of character with big old buildings and tons of local restaurants. There were street performers here and there and some guy dressed up sort of like Iron Man with a giant afro. About every hundred yards there was an upright piano it seemed like anyone could use if they wanted to and usually someone was on there playing pop songs or rocking out on Rachmaninoff. I started getting a bit cranky from the heat and it was getting late, so we jumped on a shuttle and took it to a park at the bottom of the mall. It was a beautiful area with a big green field and lots of expensive apartments around it. In the distance, you could see the tops of the rollercoasters in Elitch Gardens Theme Park just a mile away.\n\nWe were always torn between wanting to see everything and wanting to enjoy the few things that we could realistically see. I was usually the one pushing for more and Erinn was the one keeping us balanced. There are so many different neighborhoods I wanted to check out, but we limited ourselves to 16th Street. Even then, there's way too much to see. Before leaving downtown, we stopped at Larimer Square, which is just off of 16th street, accessible from one of the shuttle stops. It's a very pretty street, this time with cars running down it, but also with strings of lights hung across the street giving it a cozy feel. It's a bit upscale and the cafes and restaurants were definitely out of our price range, so we just got a drink from Starbucks and went back to our car.\n\nFor dinner we found a Chipotle near our hotel and took it back to the room. We rented Thor from the hotel lobby and settled in for the night. It had been a very hot day and we were both pretty worn out, but we had a lot of fun and were dreaming of a time when we could live in a place like this.\n\nOur route:\n\nView Larger Map\n\nMonday, August 13, 2012\n\nSan Francisco, A Few Months Ago\n\nWe went to San Francisco back in May and I had been planning on making a video for it.

They had been on our list early in the planning of the trip, but we cut out Aspen due to time constraints. But now we had time!\n\nWe left Grand Junction early and got back on I-70, crossing the Colorado River many times and following it through the Rocky Mountains. Something about the Colorado River is so exciting and we took lots of pictures from the car as we drove next to it. It's such a famous river, one that I had seen many times before down at the Hoover Dam and once from the south rim of the Grand Canyon. But here we were in Colorado, driving next to it as it winds its way through the mountains.\n\nWe continued to Aspen, turning south from Glenwood Springs. At some point on the drive that morning, we had decided to see the old ghost town of Ashcroft, about ten miles outside of Aspen. Erinn had never been to a ghost town before and I love seeing them, so we were both excited to check it out. We were using our phones to find cool places to go to and plugged an address for Ashcroft that we found online into the GPS. That, combined with the occasional goofiness of navigation systems, made us a little worried when we took a turn down a lonely road with no signs telling us whether or not Ashcroft was ahead.\n\n(I really", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 142462, "pt_loc": 5112833, "pt_shuffle_idx": 42521029, "doc_index_f": 66647195, "doc_index_l": 66647195, "offset_f": 1614, "offset_l": 3662, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 244, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": " got her when she was 6weeks old.

I originally was going to share a room with a girlfriend \u201cSassy\u201d, but her boyfriend and she were getting serious and I would be the awkward third wheel in the hotel room. Our room hosted the pre-wedding party for the Chicago friends to gather beforehand. When Sassy walked in and introduced me to her boyfriend, there was a brief moment where we were struck with a case of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu. It then suddenly dawned on me that I knew him because I went on a date with him once about a year ago. The silence got awkward as he realized it too. Sassy asked \u201cdo you two know each other\u201d and I said yes but it was a long time ago. She then shocked me by saying \u201cdid you meet on eHarmony\u2026\u201d which hit the nail on the head.\nThe group got on the shuttle bus to take us to the wedding. A guy friend, Bob, sat next to Sassy\u2019s boyfriend and riddled him with questions.

He laughed when he told me about how shocked the boyfriend looked when he found out the dates and the big dick email was out on the internet in my blog. I couldn\u2019t believe Bob asked him point blank if he was the big dick guy, but I had to nod my head to confirm that he WAS THE BIG DICK GUY! Yep, and couldn\u2019t believe it myself. 8 million people in the Chicagoland area, and our circles overlap. I do have to admit, he was a very nice guy\u2026just not the guy for me.

I've been very busy and too exhausted when I come home late at night (from work...not parties...I have no social life...sigh).\n\nI did notice this story that caught my eye. Okay, the background information...I love the movie Goonies (as does most of the 30-40 year old population) and I have probably seen it over a hundred times. It is one of those fail-safe movies that if I come across it while flipping channels, I will usually watch it. One time, I watched it in Spanish because it was on Telemundo and there was absolutely nothing else on TV (I know, read a book). My rational was \"well it IS a good movie...and I already know what they are saying anyway\".\n\nOnce I caught a version that had an scene with an Octopus. Just once. While the kids are in the water outside after coming out of the most awesome water slide ride EVER, this octopus brushed up against the girl with the glasses leg. She blaimes Mouth because he is just the kind of slime ball who would feel up wet leggings but then eventually is attacked by the Octopus (because frankly she needed a scene since she has been playing the 3rd wheel for the whole movie).\nFrom then on, I would tell people about this scene and how it all makes sense now because at the end, the girl with the glasses was telling her parents \"oh and there was this octopus\" and I was like \"what octopus\". No one believed me (it was like I was Chunk telling a tall tale) and I swore up and down this scene exists.\nAnd here is the proof. Octopus deleted scene.\nIf this link is expired (since I took freaking forever to write this up), then just YouTube Goonies and Octopus.<|endoftext|>Benefits of Studying Kabbalah\n\nKabbalah is a set of teachings that originated from Judaism about nine centuries ago.

This is just a single reason why Becht/Givens Service Exper", "base_doc": " was approaching the Kansas City area and they were going to try to outrun it and get in before it hit. Again, not music to my ears (nothing better than a reckless PILOT!). I heard witness account of the storm and apparently it was like hurricane downpour with multiple fork lighting bolts for 20 minutes before turning to bright blue skies.\nMy friend Farrell (known mostly as my accomplice in many bad ideas in NYC) picked me up and took me to an awesome burger joint, Blanc, in the Plaza where I had truffle fries for the first time. They are made of potatoes, truffle oil, salt, and awesomeness. He told me all about \u201cicing\u201d people and I am so going to try to start that up in Chicago. Basically if you find a creative way to give someone a Smirnoff Ice, then they have to get down on one knee and chug it. He was iced last week when a friend wrapped the bottle in a tortilla and foil (aka the burrito ice).\nI arrived at the hotel to find my suitemates in bed \u201cdisco napping\u201d. They were three other girls that knew the bride from a book club which was more of a regular cocktail and gossip session. I originally was going to share a room with a girlfriend \u201cSassy\u201d, but her boyfriend and she were getting serious and I would be the awkward third wheel in the hotel room. Our room hosted the pre-wedding party for the Chicago friends to gather beforehand. When Sassy walked in and introduced me to her boyfriend, there was a brief moment where we were struck with a case of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu. It then suddenly dawned on me that I knew him because I went on a date with him once about a year ago. The silence got awkward as he realized it too. Sassy asked \u201cdo you two know each other\u201d and I said yes but it was a long time ago. She then shocked me by saying \u201cdid you meet on eHarmony\u2026\u201d which hit the nail on the head.\nThe group got on the shuttle bus to take us to the wedding. A guy friend, Bob, sat next to Sassy\u2019s boyfriend and riddled him with questions. He said \u201cthat is so funny you went on a date with Lindsay\u2026where you one of her 13 in 14 experimental guys\u2026you know when she just said yes to everyone and ended up with 13 dates in 14 days\u2026you know one of them even sent her an email about his gigantic dick! \u2026that\u2019s not you right\u201d The boyfriend looked confused as was like um no.\nBob later confessed to me he said all of that to the boyfriend. He laughed when he told me about how shocked the boyfriend looked when he found out the dates and the big dick email was out on the internet in my blog. I couldn\u2019t believe Bob asked him point blank if he was the big dick guy, but I had to nod my head to confirm that he WAS THE BIG DICK GUY! Yep, and couldn\u2019t believe it myself. 8 million people in the Chicagoland area, and our circles overlap. I do have to admit, he was a very nice guy\u2026just not the guy for me. Now the moral dilemma is posting this entry. On one hand it is one of the most ridiculous stories EVER to happen to me. On the other, she will probably read this and now know all of us know her boyfriend is very well endowed. Actually, that isn\u2019t so bad right?\n\nFriday, June 18, 2010\n\nGoonies - I have proof\n\nOkay I know, it has been a while. I've been very busy and too exhausted when I come home late at night (from work...not parties...I have no social life...sigh).\n\nI did notice this story that caught my eye. Okay, the background information...I love the movie Goonies (as does most of the 30-40 year old population) and I have probably seen it over a hundred times. It is one of those fail-safe movies that if I come across it while flipping channels, I will usually watch it. One time, I watched it in Spanish because it was on Telemundo and there was absolutely nothing else on TV (I know, read a book). My rational was \"well it IS a good movie...and I already know what they are saying anyway\".\n\nOnce I caught a version that had an scene with an Octopus. Just once. While the kids are in the water outside after coming out of the most awesome water slide ride EVER, this octopus brushed up against the girl with the glasses leg. She blaimes Mouth because he is just the kind of slime ball who would feel up wet leggings but then eventually is attacked by the Octopus (because frankly she needed a scene since she has been playing the 3rd wheel for the whole movie).\nFrom then on, I would tell people about this scene and how it all makes sense now because at the end, the girl with the glasses was telling her parents \"oh and there was this octopus\" and I was like \"what octopus\". No one believed me (it was like I was Chunk telling a tall tale) and I swore up and down this scene exists.\nAnd here is the proof. Octopus deleted scene.\nIf this link is expired (since I took freaking forever to write this up), then just YouTube Goonies and Octopus.<|endoftext|>Benefits of Studying Kabbalah\n\nKabbalah is a set of teachings that originated from Judaism about nine centuries ago.

I would be more than happy to watch just an emcee and a DJ on stage doing nothing special, if what they had to say was real and meaningful. I may even actually prefer it because the theatrics of it all can distract from the message. I think what is most important in hip hop and everyone would have to agree, is the lyrics. Everything else is just done in support of what is being said. And I was listening, really listening hard at the Hilltop Hoods show, like I do at every show, and lyrically they just weren't doing it for me.\n\n\nLast night, I spent hours pouring over Hilltop Hoods lyrics to see if maybe I was just missing something. What I found out is some of their rhymes are pretty tight and intricate. But what really gets to me is that so many of their songs seem to be about the same thing, how great of lyricists and emcees they are, how much better their crew is than anyone else's . We know they can tell a good story, with songs like \u201cThe Sentinel,\u201d \u201cAudience with the Devil,\u201d and \u201cStopping All Stations,\u201d but those are pretty rare. We all know they can make a great banging party song like, \u201cWhat A Great Night\u201d and \u201cBlue Blooded All Stars.\u201d But do they represent something more than that? What I'm looking for is a simple message, what point are they actually trying to get out there? Yet line after line reads like this \u201cMy lyrics range from better than yours to way better than yours,\u201d while at the same time lacking substance in their words.\u00a0\n\nCultural Resistance\n\nI think a big problem is how do you keep pushing yourself after you've already \u201cmade it\u201d? I think no matter what the Hilltop Hoods put out now they will still get love from the masses. I think it would be hard when you get to that point to keep from being lazy. Especially since laziness in Australia is almost a praised characteristic.\n\nIt's part of Australian culture to be lazy, you can't help it really. Australia has such a laid back and easy lifestyle. It comes with the whole no worries philosophy: Don't worry, don't plan, everything just works out fine on it's own, no stress. The thing is sometimes stress is the only way that anything gets done, it's a motivating factor. As I see it, it's hard at every level for an Australian emcee (or any artist in Australia for that matter). It's hard to get started in the first place, because life is just too easy for most people to be bothered to put any extra effort into anything. It's hard to start to establish and make a name for yourself because of the way society tends to look down on those \u201coverachievers.\u201d And it's even hard once you've \u201cmade it\u201d to find the motivation to keep pushing yourself.\n\nHaving lived in the US where stress rules the land, and you are judged purely on what you have achieved rather than who you are, and in Australia where \u201cno worries\u201d is a lifelong philosophy, I can see both sides of the coin. Now before you get all high and mighty on me, realise that I chose to live here so obviously I think the Australian lifestyle is a much better choice. But there are positives and negatives to every situation. Australia has something embedded in the society that the United States does not, and it's commonly referred to as \u201cTall Poppy Syndrome.\u201d As far as I see it, this means that anyone that tries to grow too big or reach too far toward the stars gets immediately knocked down. Whether it's verbally, physically, or just perceptually, the group will tend to look down on or beat down on the one who stands out until they feel bad about themselves and withdraw to the same level as their peers.\n\nTall poppy syndrome can stifle creativity because anyone who tries too hard at anything will be knocked down and hated on. That's why laziness is so treasured in Australia. This is why mediocrity tends to rule. If you stand out too much, you're a try-hard, putting in too much effort. It's like when we were in school and the people who were good at it and always did their homework got made fun of, except extended into a whole life philosophy. It's just the opposite in the United States. With so much competition for every little aspect of life, standing out from the crowd is the only way to survive, so being extremely ambitious is a valued and desirable character trait.This isn't to say that all (or even most) the stuff that comes out of the US is excellent or that everything that comes out of Australia is mediocre. It just helps us to understand the cultural mindset that the artist comes up against in this country.\n\nThere are so many artists in this country I don't think are striving to reach their greatest potential, simply because they don't even know what their greatest potential could be. Perhaps they are aiming too low, purposely melding themselves to fit in with their peers because unconsciously, that is what they are culturally programed to do. I'm not going to name any more names or make this entry into one of hate or placing blame, because that's not what I'm all about. I'm simply stating that what comes from the top trickles down. I think in this culture we can all get along together, but that everyone should be focusing much harder on each forming their own unique point of view and going for that as hard as they can. It takes many different pieces to make the whole picture, if all the pieces are too similar the picture will only turn out to be a fuzzy blur when what we need is clear cut edges and defined brush strokes. We should try and show our best face to the world, and that's not going to happen if we keep trying to cut each other down and conform around a set standard.\n\nThe opening act\n\nHorrorshow in Canberra\nWell enough of that tangent and back to the actual shows. I won't go on about all the little things that I found annoying, overall I did enjoy myself. However there was one thing that I couldn't get over which is worth mentioning. I think they missed a\u00a0golden\u00a0opportunity in not bringing Solo out on stage with them to perform \u201cThe Underground.\u201d It is one of the best tracks on their new album and was in the running to become the second single, beaten out by \u201cShredding the Balloon,\u201d only just. They brought Horrorshow on tour with them because obviously they respect and want to showcase this younger group, so why not bring Solo on stage to perform his track with them? I think it would have made for a very memorable moment in the show.\n\nIt's actually Horrorshow's Sydney performance that sticks out the most in my mind from these shows. The tour had just returned from Europe days before the Sydney gig. Horrorshow stepped out on stage to their home crowd, a year after performing this same venue with Bliss n Eso, with a new confidence and a very strong presence that I hadn't yet seen from them. There was no uncertainty at all. I think going overseas can give you such a refreshed perspective on life. And coming back to perform to a sold out home crowd, at the very venue that they themselves saw their very first concert, I can imagine they just threw everything that they had into it, and that confidence shone through in the best way. \u201cWe got this one,\u201d was the note to self backstage.\nBoth of their performances I remember so differently, even though they played the same songs both times. Each performance carried a completely different vibe. The Sydney show was all about far away blue lights, slow songs, and haunting lyrics. Their new song \u201cDead Star Shine\u201d stood out as pretty much the highlight of my night. Even though it was a brand new song and no one knew it yet, you could tell it went over very well, and I think he even got us all singing along to the chorus in the end. At the Canberra show of course we were able to get much closer. I remember the lighting as being more energetic, orange and yellow and greens with \u201cThoughtcrime\u201d being the most stand-out song of the night.\nSally with Adit and Solo\n\nThere's certainly room in this scene and in the world scene for music like Horrorshow's hip hop style. They come from a much softer, very heartfelt place that I think a lot of artists are afraid to show. Their respect for the greats of this genre is evident in Solo's lyrics as well as the samples that Adit chooses. And yet they have managed to come out with something completely different. Solo wears his heart on his sleeve, and that's very refreshing coming from a genre that has a reputation for being about how hard you are, or pulling off a gangster persona.\n\nIn closing:\n\nAgain, I don't want this to come off the wrong way. Of course I don't hate the Hilltop Hoods, I have nothing but respect for them and what they have accomplished and continue to accomplish. I more have the attitude of that overbearing father or older brother in that because I love them, I'm harder on them because I want them to push themselves even more to reach their very best potential.\n\nI invite anyone", "base_doc": " excited about a hip hop show.

The rotator cuff is in a losing battle to maintain the stability and integrity of the shoulder joint. We need to regain some ground in this arena before challenging strength with overhead pressing and pulling movements.\n\nThe enemy is your poor posture. Put simply. Do not slouch! Ever. This creates tension in muscles like the pectoralis major and minor, latissimus dorsi, and upper trapezius which internally rotate, horizontally adduct,\u00a0and extend the arm. The upper traps are put under tension elevating the scapula up on the rib cage while the pecs and lats are driving the humerus forward, in, and down. No wonder over 50% of people sustain a shoulder injury by the age of 50! Creating more length in these muscles is the first step towards regaining proper control of this joint. As this will allow for increased flexion and horizontal abduction of the humerus as well as proper control of the scapula on the rib cage. As a matter of fact regaining ideal movement of the shoulder blades is huge for gleno-humeral problems. Remember the rotator cuff muscles originate on the scapula. If we are trying to balance out muscular length/tension relationships fixing where the problem originates will go a long ways. Putting the shoulder blades in more of a neutral position will allow for better synergies between the scapula, humerus, and clavicle. When these 3 bones move fluidly the muscles around them, in turn, have improved length and tension. \u00a0Soft tissue and mobility drills here will help a lot. However, we need to groove the patterns with correct movement, quality ranges of motion, and strengthen the muscles that have lost tension. Strengthening muscles that horizontally abduct the humerus and retract the scapula are your answer. This is why I include horizontal pulling at a 2 to 1 ratio to pressing throughout your program. In congruence with this, implementing humeral stability exercises that challenge your rotator cuff with internal/external rotation will help keep that ball in the socket!\n\nHorizontal pulling is essential to improving posture and should always be included in any good training program. Ever hear your mom tell you to stop slouching. Well, she was right. When the muscles of your back get stronger you will naturally be taller and horizontal pulling is vital to this. Exercises like cable, dumbbell, barbell, and TRX rows are examples of horizontal pulling movements. Although not as important, horizontal pressing is a primary movement that you need to be good at. The reason it is not as important as horizontal pulling is the simple fact that our eyes are in the front of our bodies. When you sit at the computer and type you lean in to look at the screen. This in turn creates tension and less length in the muscles in front of our bodies. From the hip flexors through the pecs. My training methodology emphasizes horizontal pulling movements (usually at a minimum of a 2 to 1 ratio) over horizontal and vertical pressing. This will improve your posture and create better length-tension relationships of these muscles.\n\nHow often do you have to pick up things? Well, every time you do you are hinging. The hinge can not be underestimated in its value to your biomechanical health. Just to get your hands to the floor requires mobility, strength, and core stability. Synergism really is what it's all about. You can not be strong without good mobility. That being said, you can have incredible flexibility and mobility and your joints are prone to injury because they lack the tension needed to hold them in a stable position. Integrity, in reference to training, means that the body is one unit. It is whole and works through a kinetic chain.\u00a0\n\nIf I see your lumbar spine round when bending over I know that you lack mobility in the hips and strength through the core. Working progressively and using a multifaceted approach to training will get you the best results that stand the test of time. For example, the hinge pattern starts with getting your hands to the floor. Next we program exercises in a smart manner. What I have found that works best is starting with hanging kettlebell deadlifts, then Romanian Dumbbell, Romanian barbell, trap bar, sumo, and finally conventional. Some people don't make it all the way through these progressions and it should be noted that this is only a handful of the many variations of the hinge patterns we can incorporate. The key is form. Most importantly don't ever allow your lumbar spine to round with load. Period. It should also be noted that these are all bilateral hinge patterns. Meaning that they are performed standing on both legs. The single-leg hinge is fundamental for your training success as well. For this movement challenges balance, posterior chain strength, and core stability.\u00a0\n\nFinally, core stability refers to your body's ability to hold your spine in a neutral position against forces trying to extend, flex, and rotate it. Your core includes the area of your body between your two ball and socket joints. Those being your hips and shoulders. Your lower back should be the most stable area of your body. Generally speaking, when it moves, it gets irritated. It is not designed to move. Learning how to activate deep abdominal musculature like your transverse abdominus and internal/external obliques is vitally important to the way your lumbar spine handles external stresses like resistance training and daily tasks of living. Increasing the stabilization strength of your core allows you to resist these forces and keep your back (especially lower) healthy.\n\nMy training philosophy follows a few simple rules. First, consistency and quality are far more valuable than intensity. Second, exercise selection is the most important training variable that can be manipulated. You can train with great exercises. But I always ask myself, is this exercise best for this client at this time? Finally, my goal is to get you moving your body through space better and more efficiently. Period. As a result, I train movement patterns. Not muscles. Finally, and most importantly, synergism is the game. Look at the body as one unit and understand that neglecting mobility, core stability, or strength will get you into trouble in the long haul.<|endoftext|>(Hyper) Rational Travel Planning\n\nThere\u2019s an expression floating around the rationalist corner of the interwebs: \u201cIf you\u2019ve never missed a flight, you\u2019re spending too much time in airports\u201d.

The most common kind is a two-dimensional grid, so that it looks like a matrix, or like the times tables. It might be square, with as many rows as columns, or it might be rectangular.\n\nIt can also be one-dimensional, looking like a row or a column of numbers. Or it could be three-dimensional, rows and columns and whole levels of numbers. We don\u2019t try to visualize that. It can be what we call zero-dimensional, in which case it just looks like a solitary number. It might be four- or more-dimensional, although I confess I\u2019ve never heard of anyone who actually writes out such a thing. It\u2019s just so hard to visualize.\n\nYou can add and subtract tensors if they\u2019re of compatible sizes. You can also do something like multiplication. And this does mean that tensors of compatible sizes will form a ring. Of course, that doesn\u2019t say why they\u2019re interesting.\n\nTensors are useful because they can describe spatial relationships efficiently. The word comes from the same Latin root as \u201ctension\u201d, a hint about how we can imagine it. A common use of tensors is in describing the stress in an object. Applying stress in different directions to an object often produces different effects. The classic example there is a newspaper. Rip it in one direction and you get a smooth, clean tear. Rip it perpendicularly and you get a raggedy mess. The stress tensor represents this: it gives some idea of how a force put on the paper will create a tear.\n\nTensors show up a lot in physics, and so in mathematical physics. Technically they show up everywhere, since vectors and even plain old numbers (scalars, in the lingo) are kinds of tensors, but that\u2019s not what I mean. Tensors can describe efficiently things whose magnitude and direction changes based on where something is and where it\u2019s looking. So they are a great tool to use if one wants to represent stress, or how well magnetic fields pass through objects, or how electrical fields are distorted by the objects they move in. And they describe space, as well: general relativity is built on tensors. The mathematics of a tensor allow one to describe how space is shaped, based on how to measure the distance between two points in space.\n\nMy own mathematical education happened to be pretty tensor-light. I never happened to have courses that forced me to get good with them, and I confess to feeling intimidated when a mathematical argument gets deep into tensor mathematics. Joseph C Kolecki, with NASA\u2019s Glenn (Lewis) Research Center, published in 2002 a nice little booklet \u201cAn Introduction to Tensors for Students of Physics and Engineering\u201d. This I think nicely bridges some of the gap between mathematical structures like vectors and matrices, that mathematics and physics majors know well, and the kinds of tensors that get called tensors and that can be intimidating.\n\nAuthor: Joseph Nebus\n\n\n12 thoughts on \u201cA Summer 2015 Mathematics A To Z:\u00a0tensor\u201d\n\n 1. I think the most important thing to learn is and \u2018conceptual leap\u2019 to think of a tensor not of a \u2018matrix\u2019 but of that abstract object of which the \u2018matrix\u2019 is just one possible representation, just as \u2018visualizing\u2019 a vector as an \u2018arrow\u2019 in some hyperspace instead of a bunch of numbers.\n\n\n 1. I think you\u2019re right that understanding a matrix is just one way to represent a tensor is the great conceptual leap. The trouble is having a good explanation for what the tensor is, separate from its representations. Although come to think of it I can\u2019t remember when I managed the conceptual leap between a vector as a set of numbers to a vector being some direction and length in space, either.\n\n Liked by 1 person\n\nPlease Write Something Good\n\n\nWordPress.com Logo\n\n\nGoogle photo\n\n\nTwitter picture\n\n\nFacebook photo\n\n\nConnecting to %s\n<|endoftext|>The following are multiple choice questions (with answers) about professional medicine.\n\nA 68-year-old female presents to the emergency department with a\u00a03-day\u00a0history of worsening fever and headache.

Glasscock, is a gritty and graphic set of short scenes pieced together in a pulp-fiction meets Film Noir style. It's a short film slash trailer/teaser for a television show called Celestial Moon, also created by Glasscock. The 15-minute story was filmed entirely in Dallas and released in 2016.\n\nThe movie is a dark mix of dingy realism and a nightmarish, lurid oppression. Filmed in black and white with heavy shadows and stark imagery, it opens with a crackle-voiced Narrator reciting a primal, sexual poem which sets the tone for the rest of the story. There\u2019s an odd romantic nostalgia that permeates from the sultry vocals of the poem, underscoring an image of a full moon on the water at night. This opening scene sort of lulls you in with a false sense of ease because the film is neither romantic nor gentle.\n\nThe first scene, 'Abigail - Heroine Dreams' shows a drugged damsel in distress in a heroine daze under a heavy filter and musical underscore. As the film progresses, we go back in time and relive the atrocious events that lead Abigail down the path of addiction.\n\nThere's a distinct energy of fatalism in the world Glasscock has created, as each scene contains a shocking scenario of violence: brutal language, domestic abuse, rape, and even murder. How (or if) anyone can escape this nightmare is never offered in the story line, and it offers no character redemption. Instead, this short film is a wide-awake presentation of the shadow side of humanity.\n\nGlasscock has passionately committed to his style of storytelling. The story has a sardonic tone, with a high-concept, almost melodramatic acting style, weighty photography and effects, and a contemporary music underscoring key moments. Lonely in the Shadows is 15 minutes of raw pain, presented with a lot of style.\n\n\nWritten and Directed by J.D.

The most common kind is a two-dimensional grid, so that it looks like a matrix, or like the times tables. It might be square, with as many rows as columns, or it might be rectangular.\n\nIt can also be one-dimensional, looking like a row or a column of numbers. Or it could be three-dimensional, rows and columns and whole levels of numbers. We don\u2019t try to visualize that. It can be what we call zero-dimensional, in which case it just looks like a solitary number. It might be four- or more-dimensional, although I confess I\u2019ve never heard of anyone who actually writes out such a thing. It\u2019s just so hard to visualize.\n\nYou can add and subtract tensors if they\u2019re of compatible sizes. You can also do something like multiplication. And this does mean that tensors of compatible sizes will form a ring. Of course, that doesn\u2019t say why they\u2019re interesting.\n\nTensors are useful because they can describe spatial relationships efficiently. The word comes from the same Latin root as \u201ctension\u201d, a hint about how we can imagine it. A common use of tensors is in describing the stress in an object. Applying stress in different directions to an object often produces different effects. The classic example there is a newspaper. Rip it in one direction and you get a smooth, clean tear. Rip it perpendicularly and you get a raggedy mess. The stress tensor represents this: it gives some idea of how a force put on the paper will create a tear.\n\nTensors show up a lot in physics, and so in mathematical physics. Technically they show up everywhere, since vectors and even plain old numbers (scalars, in the lingo) are kinds of tensors, but that\u2019s not what I mean. Tensors can describe efficiently things whose magnitude and direction changes based on where something is and where it\u2019s looking. So they are a great tool to use if one wants to represent stress, or how well magnetic fields pass through objects, or how electrical fields are distorted by the objects they move in. And they describe space, as well: general relativity is built on tensors. The mathematics of a tensor allow one to describe how space is shaped, based on how to measure the distance between two points in space.\n\nMy own mathematical education happened to be pretty tensor-light. I never happened to have courses that forced me to get good with them, and I confess to feeling intimidated when a mathematical argument gets deep into tensor mathematics. Joseph C Kolecki, with NASA\u2019s Glenn (Lewis) Research Center, published in 2002 a nice little booklet \u201cAn Introduction to Tensors for Students of Physics and Engineering\u201d. This I think nicely bridges some of the gap between mathematical structures like vectors and matrices, that mathematics and physics majors know well, and the kinds of tensors that get called tensors and that can be intimidating.\n\nAuthor: Joseph Nebus\n\n\n12 thoughts on \u201cA Summer 2015 Mathematics A To Z:\u00a0tensor\u201d\n\n 1. I think the most important thing to learn is and \u2018conceptual leap\u2019 to think of a tensor not of a \u2018matrix\u2019 but of that abstract object of which the \u2018matrix\u2019 is just one possible representation, just as \u2018visualizing\u2019 a vector as an \u2018arrow\u2019 in some hyperspace instead of a bunch of numbers.\n\n\n 1. I think you\u2019re right that understanding a matrix is just one way to represent a tensor is the great conceptual leap. The trouble is having a good explanation for what the tensor is, separate from its representations. Although come to think of it I can\u2019t remember when I managed the conceptual leap between a vector as a set of numbers to a vector being some direction and length in space, either.\n\n Liked by 1 person\n\nPlease Write Something Good\n\n\nWordPress.com Logo\n\n\nGoogle photo\n\n\nTwitter picture\n\n\nFacebook photo\n\n\nConnecting to %s\n<|endoftext|>\u2022 Cristee Cook\n\nIndependent short film, 'Lonely in the Shadows' is a gritty shot of pain\n\nUpdated: Jan 16, 2020\n\nThe short film, Lonely in the Shadows, written and directed by independent filmmaker J.D. Glasscock, is a gritty and graphic set of short scenes pieced together in a pulp-fiction meets Film Noir style. It's a short film slash trailer/teaser for a television show called Celestial Moon, also created by Glasscock. The 15-minute story was filmed entirely in Dallas and released in 2016.\n\nThe movie is a dark mix of dingy realism and a nightmarish, lurid oppression. Filmed in black and white with heavy shadows and stark imagery, it opens with a crackle-voiced Narrator reciting a primal, sexual poem which sets the tone for the rest of the story. There\u2019s an odd romantic nostalgia that permeates from the sultry vocals of the poem, underscoring an image of a full moon on the water at night. This opening scene sort of lulls you in with a false sense of ease because the film is neither romantic nor gentle.\n\nThe first scene, 'Abigail - Heroine Dreams' shows a drugged damsel in distress in a heroine daze under a heavy filter and musical underscore. As the film progresses, we go back in time and relive the atrocious events that lead Abigail down the path of addiction.\n\nThere's a distinct energy of fatalism in the world Glasscock has created, as each scene contains a shocking scenario of violence: brutal language, domestic abuse, rape, and even murder. How (or if) anyone can escape this nightmare is never offered in the story line, and it offers no character redemption. Instead, this short film is a wide-awake presentation of the shadow side of humanity.\n\nGlasscock has passionately committed to his style of storytelling. The story has a sardonic tone, with a high-concept, almost melodramatic acting style, weighty photography and effects, and a contemporary music underscoring key moments. Lonely in the Shadows is 15 minutes of raw pain, presented with a lot of style.\n\n\nWritten and Directed by J.D. Glasscock, Lonely in the Shadows can be viewed on YouTube at this link: Lonely in the Shadows.

That is, namely, that no one is working with a compellingly coherent account of what intelligence is. And without such an account of intelligence, there can be no scientifically adequate way of setting up tests to measure it.\n\nNow of course we can set up tests to measure distinct abilities, such as the mirror test for self-recognition, various tests for stacking blocks, counting, or registering the awareness of absence. But these are at most particular aptitudes, and not signs of an underlying general faculty called \u201cintelligence\u201d. They are, moreover, highly dependent on the bodily morphology and the sensory apparatus of the animal. No one has yet figured out how to give a mirror test to a sperm whale. These animals are just too big and uncontrolable to manage such a feat. And even if such a thing were to be arranged, it is not clear that a whale --who inhabits a vastly different environment and may have a vastly different conception of its own embodiment and the relationship of embodiment to its personal identity-- should have any reason to find what it sees in the mirror interesting in the way we do (along with many other mammalian species).\n\nFor that matter there are species, including many species of mammals, that are naturally blind. And surely no animal that would fail a vision test could be expected to pass a mirror test, yet there is also no conceivable reason to make sightedness a condition of intelligence. Vision is only one sense, but intelligence is supposed to be the general faculty behind all of the senses that puts together the reports the senses give, and makes inferences from them. Sometimes these inferences yield action, yet it is not at all clear that they must, or that they will do so in a way human observers are in a position even in principle to identify.\n\nCetaceans have long posed a problem in this regard. Lacking hands, and living in a marine environment, the range of opportunities they have for using tools, or manipulating objects, is vastly reduced when compared with the options open to, say, a Japanese macaque, capable of complicated sequential tool-use behaviour in the course of obtaining food. So we have the macaque using a stick to get an apple, and we have the blue whale just swimming along all day, filtering tonnes of microscopic plankton through the sieve of its baleen as it goes. Perhaps the whale is not even conscious that it is consuming food; perhaps it is thinking about other things, some of which it communicates through its \u201csong\u201d to other members of its pod. We have no evidence that these thoughts, and perhaps these propositions, do not extend as far as abstract thoughts, metaphors, poetry. What we do know is that whatever is going on is not measurable in the same way the macaque's problem-solving abilities are. But this is plainly also just a consequence of environmental circumstances and bodily morphology, rather than a mark of inferior intelligence in the whale. It is not just that comparing whale communication and macaque tool-use amounts to apples and oranges, but something more like trying to decide whether to give an award to a plumber or instead to a ballerina. In neither case is there any clear idea of a more general faculty of which the respective actions are instances.\n\nAn even deeper philosophical problem comes with the search for a so-called \u201ctheory of mind\u201d in other species. For an animal to have such a theory is, we suppose, for it to be conscious of the existence of other beings like itself outside of itself, that is, to recognize other animals and humans as operating with intentions and anticipations, rather than only according to the physical laws of nature. But there is no reason to suppose that such an ability, where it is observed, is a sign of any internal working of mind on the part of the animal itself that is thought to hold the theory. In fact, machines can now be built that are very good at predicting human intentions, and notwithstanding the exuberance of many techno-futurists, we have absolutely no reason to believe that these machines are literally intelligent, or in any way even approaching literal intelligence.\n\nSusan Schneider has argued that the best-designed general-AI machines of the future may be the ones that lack any true internal capacity for reflection, an ability not simply to process information algorithmically, but also to think about the information being processed.[2] It is an open question whether it will ever be possible to design conscious machines, but if you can design fully rational machines to do your work for you, why would you give them consciousness on top of that? This, Schneider notes, would likely only create ethical problems, and tempt them to rebel. And indeed something similar may be said of the evolution of life on earth: on what grounds can we justify the belief that an internal capacity for conscious thinking is more \u201cintelligent\u201d than just adapting to the exigencies of the environment without any deliberation?\n\nSeen in this light, it is not at all clear that the human ability to solve calculus problems, or to choose one brand of toothpaste over another, is more intelligent than a bush's ability to survive having 95% of its corporeal mass devoured by mountain goats. This sounds facetious, but I mean it seriously. Consider again the parallel case of AI. There are many people who believe that a capacity for real internal deliberation, for thinking about things, is not necessary in order to call a machine \u201cintelligent\u201d. But if we admit machine intelligence of this sort, then why should we withhold the appelation from organisms, including plants, that are generally agreed to not be conscious but that are capable of realizing courses of action, or manifesting forms of organization, that are in at least certain respects vastly more complex than anything a machine has yet been made to do?\n\nThe more we reflect on the matter, the more \u201cintelligence\u201d comes to appear not so much as the name of a general faculty we may observe and measure in our own and other species, as rather an honorific term that we extend to beings and systems manifesting behaviour that reminds us of ourselves. We use tools, we count, and we recognise ourselves in the mirror, and so we take an interest in the ability of certain other species to do the same. The prospect of androids or artificial systems that use natural-sounding language or that execute human-like work tasks is enough for many people to suppose that these systems are literally intelligent too. On the other hand whatever a plant is doing to survive getting mostly eaten by goats is so different from whatever it is that we do, from whatever can enter into our own strategies for living and surviving, that we can find no meaningful reason to extend the honorific label \u201cintelligent\u201d to it.\n\nNone of this is to say that I think we have been mistaken in worrying more in recent years about the well-being of, say, gorillas, than of rats or krill. But especially in the case of the rats it is hard not to wonder whether the presumption of the absence of intelligence is not more of an ad-hoc rationalisation of our prior hatred of them, rather than a conclusion drawn from our observation of their behaviour. In this respect the hatred of rats would work much like ethnic prejudice, where we hate a group of people because we believe their interests are in conflict with ours, and then we go looking for a \u201cnatural\u201d grounding for our portrayal of them as our inferiors. But in the case of rats, at least, the perception is justified: our interests really are in conflict with theirs, and this would remain so whatever we might learn about their ability to solve logic puzzles in exchange for water laced with sugar or cocaine.\n\nWe have likewise managed to convince ourselves that the \u201cintelligence\u201d has been largely bred out of domestic food animals -- plainly an effort to alleviate our heavy consciences for our complicity in the system of mass slaughter. But there does not seem to be any evidence that this has happened. Physical docility is no measure of the lack of a rich internal life, and in any case domestic pigs are generally better at manipulating joysticks, when compelled to do so by scientists, than are, say, wild boars. Here again this may just be a sign of the wild species' uncooperativeness, rather than its lack of the mental ability to understand what is wanted from it. In Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971), the linguistically gifted chimpanzee Zira, having grown exasperated with the scientists who are attempting to entice her with bananas into performing in their block-stacking experiments, suddenly blurts out that her sluggishness has nothing to do with inability, but rather only that \u201cI simply loathe bananas.\u201d Her cover is blown, but her pride is restored. Something similar may be going on, for all we know, whenever an animal declines to let us measure its intelligence.\n\n\n\nI do not deny at all that what we commonly think of as the \u201chigher\u201d animals have many traits to recommend them for care and concern well before a rat or a bush. I have in fact strongly supported the legislation in Germany, New Zealand, and elsewhere that has granted to the great apes the legal status of \u201cpersons\u201d, thus casting them as individuals with intrinsic legal rights rather than simply being protected as property, or as potential triggers for the increase in depravity of the", "base_doc": " of journalists, but of the scientists about whom the journalists are writing as well.

Holiday \u201cwrote\u201d an autobiography, Lady Sings the Blues based on interviews she did with a guy named William Dufty. This early \u201890s documentary has actress Ruby Dee read portions of the book amidst narration, film, and interviews\u2014then toward the end the narrator and interview subjects question the accuracy of the book, noting that \u201cit\u2019s the elegance, the universality of her musical statement that matters\u201d (Albert Murray).\u00a0 While this film certainly leans on some of the melodrama of Holiday\u2019s life, it also has the intelligence to question it.\n\nThe sharpest commentary comes from singer Carmen McRae, who was a younger friend to and prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of Holiday. Her memories are lively and real, and she speaks about a great artist both knowingly and as a fan. Toward the end, when she talks about Holiday\u2019s last album, Lady in Satin, the feeling is paramount\u2014what difference did it make that Lady Day\u2019s voice was shot? Singer Annie Ross remembers her as a storyteller as well as a jazz singer; her life came out in her art.\n\nThe Holiday film is best when it carefully marries the words of its interview subjects to images and sounds. The best example, perhaps, is when trumpeter Buck Clayton describes his attitude when accompanying Holiday. He didn\u2019t want to get in the way of the singer\u2019s own remarkable melodic invention, so he would only \u201cfill up the windowpanes\u201d\u2014and this line is followed by a perfect example of Clayton making it work, improvising around her lines. In these moments, director Matthew Seig comes close to explaining the music itself, to decoding the art rather than just the society and personalities around the art.\n\ncover art\n\nMasters of American Music, Vol. 3: American Composer\n\nUS DVD: 17 Nov 2009\n\nThe Story of Jazz\nWhen this connection\u2014between commentary and music, between music and image, between music and culture\u2014is being made effectively, the Masters of American Music Series is working well. In other places, these connections fail and everything goes south. Because the filmmakers see no way of addressing the music directly, only careful juxtapositions help the viewer to get to the real musical history. The 90-minute overview in the series, The Story of Jazz includes plenty of great interviews, but its musical examples aren\u2019t up to snuff.\n\nFor example, after Lester Bowie says that the whole concept of playing jazz trumpet comes from Louis Armstrong, the film shows an Armstrong solo that consists largely of playing certain held notes an unusually long time. It\u2019s an interesting solo, but an idiosyncratic one and hardly the epitome of jazz trumpet. Weird\u2014bad\u2014choice.\n\nThe most interesting portion of The Story of Jazz is the prominence it places on the mid-19th century composer Louis Gottschalk who, apparently, visited New Orleans\u2019s Congo Square as a kid and later recreated some of that African-American sound in written compositions that would go on to influence Scott Joplin in creating ragtime. That\u2019s not a standard part of the Jazz Creation Myth.\n\nBut the rest of the myth is here, with its attendant chronologies of Buddy Bolden begetting King Oliver begetting Armstrong begetting the whole concept of jazz improvisation and jazz singing; Jelly Roll Morton begetting Fletcher Henderson begetting Coleman Hawkins begetting every great saxophonist to come; Duke Ellington begetting just about everything else you can think of. New Orleans\u2014up the river to Kansas City and Chicago\u2014swing bands and Harlem\u2014the bop revolution\u2014\u201ccool\u201d music\u2014free jazz.\u00a0\n\nThe good stuff here is mostly small bits drawn out of the interviews. Tony Bennett talking about Armstrong\u2019s phrasing as \u201cindelible\u201d, Annie Ross saying that Billie Holiday \u201chad an intimacy.

Holiday \u201cwrote\u201d an autobiography, Lady Sings the Blues based on interviews she did with a guy named William Dufty. This early \u201890s documentary has actress Ruby Dee read portions of the book amidst narration, film, and interviews\u2014then toward the end the narrator and interview subjects question the accuracy of the book, noting that \u201cit\u2019s the elegance, the universality of her musical statement that matters\u201d (Albert Murray).\u00a0 While this film certainly leans on some of the melodrama of Holiday\u2019s life, it also has the intelligence to question it.\n\nThe sharpest commentary comes from singer Carmen McRae, who was a younger friend to and prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of Holiday. Her memories are lively and real, and she speaks about a great artist both knowingly and as a fan. Toward the end, when she talks about Holiday\u2019s last album, Lady in Satin, the feeling is paramount\u2014what difference did it make that Lady Day\u2019s voice was shot? Singer Annie Ross remembers her as a storyteller as well as a jazz singer; her life came out in her art.\n\nThe Holiday film is best when it carefully marries the words of its interview subjects to images and sounds. The best example, perhaps, is when trumpeter Buck Clayton describes his attitude when accompanying Holiday. He didn\u2019t want to get in the way of the singer\u2019s own remarkable melodic invention, so he would only \u201cfill up the windowpanes\u201d\u2014and this line is followed by a perfect example of Clayton making it work, improvising around her lines. In these moments, director Matthew Seig comes close to explaining the music itself, to decoding the art rather than just the society and personalities around the art.\n\ncover art\n\nMasters of American Music, Vol. 3: American Composer\n\nUS DVD: 17 Nov 2009\n\nThe Story of Jazz\nWhen this connection\u2014between commentary and music, between music and image, between music and culture\u2014is being made effectively, the Masters of American Music Series is working well. In other places, these connections fail and everything goes south. Because the filmmakers see no way of addressing the music directly, only careful juxtapositions help the viewer to get to the real musical history. The 90-minute overview in the series, The Story of Jazz includes plenty of great interviews, but its musical examples aren\u2019t up to snuff.\n\nFor example, after Lester Bowie says that the whole concept of playing jazz trumpet comes from Louis Armstrong, the film shows an Armstrong solo that consists largely of playing certain held notes an unusually long time. It\u2019s an interesting solo, but an idiosyncratic one and hardly the epitome of jazz trumpet. Weird\u2014bad\u2014choice.\n\nThe most interesting portion of The Story of Jazz is the prominence it places on the mid-19th century composer Louis Gottschalk who, apparently, visited New Orleans\u2019s Congo Square as a kid and later recreated some of that African-American sound in written compositions that would go on to influence Scott Joplin in creating ragtime. That\u2019s not a standard part of the Jazz Creation Myth.\n\nBut the rest of the myth is here, with its attendant chronologies of Buddy Bolden begetting King Oliver begetting Armstrong begetting the whole concept of jazz improvisation and jazz singing; Jelly Roll Morton begetting Fletcher Henderson begetting Coleman Hawkins begetting every great saxophonist to come; Duke Ellington begetting just about everything else you can think of. New Orleans\u2014up the river to Kansas City and Chicago\u2014swing bands and Harlem\u2014the bop revolution\u2014\u201ccool\u201d music\u2014free jazz.\u00a0\n\nThe good stuff here is mostly small bits drawn out of the interviews. Tony Bennett talking about Armstrong\u2019s phrasing as \u201cindelible\u201d, Annie Ross saying that Billie Holiday \u201chad an intimacy. You felt that she had lived through the lyrics she was singing. She knew what she was singing about.\u201d\u00a0 Wait. Wasn\u2019t that exact bit of film used in the Holiday documentary? Exactly.\n\nThe four documentaries released here are oddly chopped up and redundant.

Ever since he had left the capital, someone had been locked onto him from a distance, constantly observing and trailing him.\n\nThis feeling had disappeared a moment ago, but Dusong Mangpoje did not dare get careless.\n\n'A centipede can die, but it will never fall over.' The current Great Tang was far from that mighty hegemon that valiantly swept through the world. Yet the elites and higher-ups of this empire still contained extremely formidable figures that could not be underestimated.\n\nThat Central Plains youngster in the square was the best example!\n\nDusong Mangpoje had wanted to kill him many times, but he had ultimately managed to suppress the desire.\n\nAlthough he wasn't clear on the youngster's exact background, it was certainly no ordinary one. That youngster had deliberately attempted to provoke him several times into striking. Dusong Mangpoje had understood what that youngster wanted. If he killed the youth, the Great Tang Empire would have an excuse to attack him in the capital.\n\nIf such a thing really did occur, then it would be just like the youth said. He would not have made it out of the capital alive.\n\nThe youth's predictions had been right on the mark.\n\n\"\u2026I had believed that the Central Plains were waning when I made this trip to the Great Tang. I didn't expect to meet such an evil young man on the last day. The lot of the Central Plains is still not completely exhausted!\"\n\nDusong Mangpoje mentally sighed.\n\nThe First Prince and the elite horsemen under", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 157186, "pt_loc": 2820850, "pt_shuffle_idx": 102265937, "doc_index_f": 160290987, "doc_index_l": 160290989, "offset_f": 475, "offset_l": 1719, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 57, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [148, 181, 1720]} -{"pt_doc": "The following are multiple choice questions (with answers) about high school microeconomics.\n\nThe sales tax that you pay at the grocery store is commonly labeled a\nA. progressive tax.\nB. regressive tax.\nC. proportional tax.\nD. excise tax.\nAnswer: B<|endoftext|>\n\nTo the Steward's great relief, Aragorn did as he was bidden and exhaustion from the day's events caused him to quickly fall asleep again. Faramir was not so fortunate and lay awake pondering their conversation. He was deeply worried about his lord. He had not seen Aragorn in such low spirits since the last time he had been separated from his lady when the City was ravaged by a fever epidemic. Then, rebel lords had taken advantage of the King's weariness to kidnap him.

He looked out at the stars, the same stars that had shone over the city through many troubled times before. Even the evil of Sauron had not dimmed them. In comparison with what they had overcome in the past, their present problem was small by comparison, if a dragon could ever be considered small! Smiling slightly at the thought and somewhat reassured, Faramir returned to bed and finally fell asleep.\n\nDespite his troubled night, Aragorn awoke soon after sunrise. He dressed quickly, and after leaving a note for Faramir, made his way to the Houses of Healing. It was a beautiful spring morning, which initially raised his spirits until he walked through the gardens of the Houses and heard the birds calling to their mates in the treetops. He resolutely pushed the melancholy thoughts aside as he walked towards Fu Nung's room and tried to recall everything that S\u00falion had told him the night before.\n\nFu Nung was awake and staring at Tarostar and Aedred in wide-eyed fear as they prepared to change the dressings on his wounds. He struggled feebly against their ministrations.\n\n\"He drank two glasses of water and took his medicines when he woke up just after dawn,\" said Tarostar in reply to the question in Aragorn's eyes. \"Then we decided to dress his wounds and he became agitated.\"\n\nAragorn waved them aside and pulled the covers back over the Easterling. He smiled reassuringly then took a deep breath and said \"Cheen ne farng zhin, Fu Nung.\"\n\nFu Nung looked at him, comprehension slowly dawning in his gaze.\n\nAragorn tried again \"Ch\u00edn n\u01d0 f\u00e1hng x\u00edn.\"\n\n\"My lord?\" Tarostar asked bewildered. He looked at Aragorn as if he feared the King had lost his wits.\n\n\"I asked the dragon to teach me a few words in Fu Nung's only language.

Aragorn caught a sudden glimpse of what the young man's personality must be like when not overshadowed by fear and pain. Fu Nung tried to laugh, then groaned and clutched at his chest with his good hand.\n\nAragorn repeated his words of reassurance and held his hands a few inches above the Easterling's bruised ribs. To his delight, this time, his powers took effect and the expression on Fu Nung's face showed that the pain had subsided. Further reassuring the rider, he tended his wounds using all his Elvish skills and innate powers. Then with Aedred's assistance, the young man was washed and dressed in a clean nightshirt.\n\n\"W\u01d2 d\u00f9zi \u00e8!\" said Fu Nung when they had finished.\n\n\"My grasp of his tongue is still poor, but I believe he is hungry,\" said Aragorn.\n\n\"I will send to the kitchens for a nourishing broth for our patient,\" said Aedred, looking almost as delighted as Aragorn.\n\n\"We will have to feed him. In his land they use different eating utensils,\" said Aragorn.\n\nA few minutes later a servant brought a dish of steaming chicken broth. At first Fu Nung regarded it dubiously, but after a few tentative spoonfuls, he devoured every drop. Aragorn and Aedred exchanged a satisfied look. It seemed that Fu Nung was getting better.\n\nDuring the next few days Fu Nung's health continued to improve sufficiently for Aragorn to decide to move him from the Houses of Healing to rooms neat his own apartments. That allowed him treat the Rider's wounds with his Elven healing skills twice a day.

The dragon, though, had either failed to pass on Aragorn's advice to return to their own lands, or been ignored by the overeager explorer who wanted to continue his travels.

The Steward had asked his friend Tahir, the ambassador from Harad, to send his personal tailor to measure Fu Nung for some clothing in a style nearer to that of his homeland than Aragorn of Faramir's tailors could provide.\n\nFu Nung accepted their hospitality gratefully, smiling at them with a shy endearing grin and trying to master the Common Tongue and the eating implements favoured by the Gondorians.\n\nIf truth were told, both King and Steward were grateful for something to distract them from the absence of their wives and children as well as Faramir's concern for \u00c9owyn as the time for her confinement approached. Restoring Fu Nung to full health that he might go on his way seemed the best way to hasten the return of the ladies, but Aragorn was bound by the laws of hospitality to shelter his guests for as long as they desired to stay.\n\nS\u00falion seemed far more restless than his rider, maybe because his wounds were much quicker to heal and the dragon disliked being confined to the Royal gardens or the field that had been procured for him.\n\nOne afternoon when Fu Nung was resting, Aragorn and Faramir went to see the dragon and found him a desolate mood.\n\n\"My wings are no better,\" S\u00falion said, glumly, holding up a wing and inspecting the now healed wound upon it. \"Look how ugly I am now!\"\n\n\"You are not ugly,\" Faramir said soothingly.\n\n\"But my beautiful wings are marred!\" groaned the dragon. \"And the rest of me!\"\n\nAragorn tried to hide a smile at the vanity of the creature.

Depression is characterised by persistent sadness and loss of interest in activities that you normally enjoy, accompanied by an inability to carry out daily activities, for at least two weeks. This can often be accompanied by a tiredness/fatigue, changes in appetite and/or sleep, anxiety, poor concentration, indecisiveness, restlessness, feelings of worthlessness, guilt and/or hopelessness, and thinking about self-harm or suicide.\n\n\nAccording to the World Health Organisation, more than 264 million people of all ages, suffer with Depression worldwide. The NHS reports that Depression affects 1 in 10 people in their life time. However, the positive news is that, with the right treatment and support, most people with Depression can and will make a full recovery.\u00a0\n\nHow do I know if I have Depression?\n\nDepression presents itself differently in different people and there can be a wide variety of symptoms. An example of some can be seen in the box to the right.\n\nThe NHS also offer a Depression self-assessment which can be found here\n\nDepression can also cause physical symptoms, such as fatigue, disturbed sleep, changes in appetite, low sex drive and aches and pains in the body.\n\nCommon Symptoms of Depression\n\n 1. Low mood most of the day and nearly every day\n\n 2. Less interest or pleasure in activites you would normally enjoy\n\n 3. Significant weight loss or gain, changes in appetite\n\n 4. Sleeping a lot more or less than normal\n\n 5. Irritable and physically agitated\n\n 6. General fatigue most of the day\n\n 7. Feeling worthless or inappropriately guilty\n\n 8. Finding it hard to concentrate and make decisions\n\n 9. Recurrent thoughts of death / recurrent thoughts of suicide\n\nWhat caused my Depression?\n\nThere is no one cause for Depression and it has many triggers. Life changing events, such as a death, money worries or even having a baby can bring on Depression. The onset of Depression often features loss, such as loss of health, a job or a close relationship. People with a family history of Depression have been found more likely to experience the illness themselves, however, this is not always the case.\u00a0\n\nDepression is difficult to battle on your own, as low mood is self-sustaining and you can find the things you used to do to boost your mood are no longer appealing and seem too much effort. These things have not changed, but your perspective has and this is what CBT aims to tackle by making you aware of the negative thought patterns occurring. CBT then slowly allows you to change these thought patterns at a pace that suits you, with support from a professional.\u00a0\n\n\nA number of potential triggers suggested are; Stressful events: people often take time to come to terms with stressful events, however, when these events occur the risk of becoming depressed is increased as people often isolate themselves and try and deal with problems on their own.\u00a0\n\nPersonality: Personality traits, such as low self-esteem and being overly self-critical have been associated with Depression. This can be due to hereditary, early life experiences or both.\u00a0\n\nFamily history: If a member of your immediate family has had Depression in the past, you are often more at risk of developing it yourself.\u00a0\n\nGiving birth: Many women can be more vulnerable to Depression after giving birth due to the hormonal, physical and lifestyle changes. This is known as Postnatal Depression.\u00a0\n\nLoneliness: Isolating yourself from support networks, such as friends and family, can increase risk of Depression.\u00a0\n\nAlcohol and drugs: When we feel down it is often in our culture to turn to alcohol or taking drugs, however, this can often result in Depression. Cannabis, although it may help you relax, has been found to increase the risk of Depression, especially in teenagers. Alcohol is categorised as a \u2018strong depressant\u2019 and makes symptoms of depression worse.\u00a0\n\nIllness: People who have a longstanding or chronic illness are more vulnerable to depression due to the side effects of their illness, such as extreme fatigue and loss of libido. Head injuries are often a cause of depression, as they can cause mood swings and emotional issues.\u00a0\n\nHow is Depression treated?\n\nStudies consistently find that Cognitive Therapy (CT) is as effective as antidepressant medication in the short term, and more effective than medication in the longterm when treating Depression. Medication may be necessary for severe depression in order to initially engage in therapy, but for mild-moderate cases of Depression, CBT is the first choice of treatment.\u00a0\n\nTreatment for Depression can include lifestyle changes, talking therapies and medication. Life style changes can be increasing exercise, healthy eating, improving routine, reducing alcohol intake and quitting smoking. Other things which have been suggested to help are reading self-help books and joining a support group as sharing with others can allow you to understand your Depression better and reduce the stigma around Depression, whilst providing another support network. This is often suggested for those who have mild Depression.\u00a0\n\nWhen Depression is mild and not improving, or moderate, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an example of a talking therapy which is used for treatment. CBT focuses on your patterns of thought and how these affect your behaviours and abilities to cope with emotional situations. CBT primarily focuses on the present and looks to see how we can cope better in the current life circumstances we face, but it may be useful at times to look into our past in order to understand our current patterns of thought and behaviour. CBT aims to help you look at your problems in a more positive way by breaking them down into smaller parts and looks for practical ways to improve a persons mental health on a daily basis.\n\n\nFor moderate-severe Depression, talking therapies and antidepressants are often used for treatment. Individuals are often referred to a specialist mental health team for intensive talking treatments and medication.<|endoftext|>What is Digital marketing and How does it Work,How much you can grow your Business in 2021\n\n\nWhat is Digital Marketing?\n\nDigital marketing is a means of attaining business goals through the aid of digital platforms by promoting the business\u2019s products or services.

Depression is characterised by persistent sadness and loss of interest in activities that you normally enjoy, accompanied by an inability to carry out daily activities, for at least two weeks. This can often be accompanied by a tiredness/fatigue, changes in appetite and/or sleep, anxiety, poor concentration, indecisiveness, restlessness, feelings of worthlessness, guilt and/or hopelessness, and thinking about self-harm or suicide.\n\n\nAccording to the World Health Organisation, more than 264 million people of all ages, suffer with Depression worldwide. The NHS reports that Depression affects 1 in 10 people in their life time. However, the positive news is that, with the right treatment and support, most people with Depression can and will make a full recovery.\u00a0\n\nHow do I know if I have Depression?\n\nDepression presents itself differently in different people and there can be a wide variety of symptoms. An example of some can be seen in the box to the right.\n\nThe NHS also offer a Depression self-assessment which can be found here\n\nDepression can also cause physical symptoms, such as fatigue, disturbed sleep, changes in appetite, low sex drive and aches and pains in the body.\n\nCommon Symptoms of Depression\n\n 1. Low mood most of the day and nearly every day\n\n 2. Less interest or pleasure in activites you would normally enjoy\n\n 3. Significant weight loss or gain, changes in appetite\n\n 4. Sleeping a lot more or less than normal\n\n 5. Irritable and physically agitated\n\n 6. General fatigue most of the day\n\n 7. Feeling worthless or inappropriately guilty\n\n 8. Finding it hard to concentrate and make decisions\n\n 9. Recurrent thoughts of death / recurrent thoughts of suicide\n\nWhat caused my Depression?\n\nThere is no one cause for Depression and it has many triggers. Life changing events, such as a death, money worries or even having a baby can bring on Depression. The onset of Depression often features loss, such as loss of health, a job or a close relationship. People with a family history of Depression have been found more likely to experience the illness themselves, however, this is not always the case.\u00a0\n\nDepression is difficult to battle on your own, as low mood is self-sustaining and you can find the things you used to do to boost your mood are no longer appealing and seem too much effort. These things have not changed, but your perspective has and this is what CBT aims to tackle by making you aware of the negative thought patterns occurring. CBT then slowly allows you to change these thought patterns at a pace that suits you, with support from a professional.\u00a0\n\n\nA number of potential triggers suggested are; Stressful events: people often take time to come to terms with stressful events, however, when these events occur the risk of becoming depressed is increased as people often isolate themselves and try and deal with problems on their own.\u00a0\n\nPersonality: Personality traits, such as low self-esteem and being overly self-critical have been associated with Depression. This can be due to hereditary, early life experiences or both.\u00a0\n\nFamily history: If a member of your immediate family has had Depression in the past, you are often more at risk of developing it yourself.\u00a0\n\nGiving birth: Many women can be more vulnerable to Depression after giving birth due to the hormonal, physical and lifestyle changes. This is known as Postnatal Depression.\u00a0\n\nLoneliness: Isolating yourself from support networks, such as friends and family, can increase risk of Depression.\u00a0\n\nAlcohol and drugs: When we feel down it is often in our culture to turn to alcohol or taking drugs, however, this can often result in Depression. Cannabis, although it may help you relax, has been found to increase the risk of Depression, especially in teenagers. Alcohol is categorised as a \u2018strong depressant\u2019 and makes symptoms of depression worse.\u00a0\n\nIllness: People who have a longstanding or chronic illness are more vulnerable to depression due to the side effects of their illness, such as extreme fatigue and loss of libido. Head injuries are often a cause of depression, as they can cause mood swings and emotional issues.\u00a0\n\nHow is Depression treated?\n\nStudies consistently find that Cognitive Therapy (CT) is as effective as antidepressant medication in the short term, and more effective than medication in the longterm when treating Depression. Medication may be necessary for severe depression in order to initially engage in therapy, but for mild-moderate cases of Depression, CBT is the first choice of treatment.\u00a0\n\nTreatment for Depression can include lifestyle changes, talking therapies and medication. Life style changes can be increasing exercise, healthy eating, improving routine, reducing alcohol intake and quitting smoking. Other things which have been suggested to help are reading self-help books and joining a support group as sharing with others can allow you to understand your Depression better and reduce the stigma around Depression, whilst providing another support network. This is often suggested for those who have mild Depression.\u00a0\n\nWhen Depression is mild and not improving, or moderate, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an example of a talking therapy which is used for treatment. CBT focuses on your patterns of thought and how these affect your behaviours and abilities to cope with emotional situations. CBT primarily focuses on the present and looks to see how we can cope better in the current life circumstances we face, but it may be useful at times to look into our past in order to understand our current patterns of thought and behaviour. CBT aims to help you look at your problems in a more positive way by breaking them down into smaller parts and looks for practical ways to improve a persons mental health on a daily basis.\n\n\nFor moderate-severe Depression, talking therapies and antidepressants are often used for treatment. Individuals are often referred to a specialist mental health team for intensive talking treatments and medication.<|endoftext|>What is Digital marketing and How does it Work,How much you can grow your Business in 2021\n\n\nWhat is Digital Marketing?\n\nDigital marketing is a means of attaining business goals through the aid of digital platforms by promoting the business\u2019s products or services.

Yodice and his associates provide legal counsel to the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association.\n\nUnderstanding aircraft insurance is often a challenge for owners and pilots. You have frequently heard the good advice \u2014 \"read your policy\" \u2014 given by lawyers and insurance brokers/agents. It is advice that is difficult to follow and, understandably, largely ignored. That's why I like to tell of actual litigated cases that, as one would expect, involve the more problematic provisions of an aircraft insurance policy, the ones that probably deserve the most attention. And, as we will see, even a careful reading of the policy doesn't always predict whether a loss will be covered by the policy. Here are two similar recent cases, decided about two weeks apart by different courts, reaching seemingly opposite results that illustrate the point.\n\nThe issue in both cases was whether a failure to strictly meet the provisions of an aircraft insurance policy could be a basis for the insurance company to deny coverage, regardless of whether the violated provision had anything to do with the accident that caused the loss. In the majority of jurisdictions that have addressed the issue, an insurance company can deny coverage under the policy even if the loss had nothing to do with the provision that was violated. In other jurisdictions, an insurance company can deny coverage only if the violation had some causal connection with the loss.\n\nIn a case decided on April 26, 2006, a Texas intermediate appellate court held that a helicopter owner could recover under an aircraft insurance policy even though, at the time of the loss, the helicopter was being flown by a pilot who did not have the flight experience required by the policy. The Texas court held that in order to justify a denial of coverage, the insurance company must show some causal connection between the pilot's lack of experience and the accident resulting in the loss.\n\nThe policy in this case insured a Robinson R22 Beta II helicopter and had a typical declarations section stating who was permitted to pilot the helicopter. The section contained a \"named\" pilot warranty clause that said the helicopter was covered while it was being piloted by the named owner or two other named employee pilots. The declarations also contained an \"open\" pilot warranty clause that provided coverage if the aircraft was being flown by \"any commercial pilot with rotary wing ratings properly certificated by the FAA having a minimum of 1,000 logged flying hours in rotary wing aircraft, including 100 hours of which are in Robinson R22 model aircraft.\" The policy had a companion exclusion that reaffirmed that \"this policy does not apply...to any insured while the aircraft is in flight...if piloted by other than the pilot or pilots designated in the Declarations.\"\n\nThe helicopter crashed while herding cattle. At the time, it was being piloted by an employee of the aircraft owner. The employee had the required certificate and ratings, but he was not one of the named pilots, and he had logged only 685 of the required 1,000 hours of flying experience.\n\nIn reaching its conclusion favoring the helicopter owner, the Texas intermediate appellate court relied on a precedent established by the Texas Supreme Court in 1984. The Texas Supreme Court held in favor of an owner in a case involving the crash of an insured aircraft that was one month out of annual inspection. In the precedent case, the insurance policy stated, \"There is no coverage under the policy if the aircraft...airworthiness certificate is not in full force and effect.\" An annual inspection is required in order to maintain an airworthiness certificate in effect. It was undisputed that the lack of a valid airworthiness certificate was not the cause of the crash.\n\nIn reading the insurance policy it was clear that it did not require a causal connection between the breach and the accident in order to justify a denial of coverage. Yet, the Texas Supreme Court held that \"an insurer cannot avoid liability under an aviation liability policy unless [the breach] is either the sole or one of the several causes of the accident.\" How come? How come the policy was not interpreted literally? The \"how come\" is that the Supreme Court said that to deny coverage would be unconscionable and against public policy. The Supreme Court was not convinced by the insurance company's argument that the majority of jurisdictions do not require causation.\n\nOnly two weeks after the Texas pilot qualification case related above, the Supreme Court of Nevada held differently", "base_doc": " the dark before the Embassy of Ecuador.\n\n\u201cAnd how, in the morning, the sun came up on a different world, and a courageous Latin America nation took a stand for justice.\u201d\n\nHe added: \u201cAnd so, to those brave people.

It\u2019s that slow wave sleep when men make testosterone. Yeah, actually, because I don\u2019t do, like I said, I don\u2019t do as much men\u2019s health, but a really good friend of mine Dr Ralph Esposito, is a men\u2019s health expert. And so he\u2019s always teaching me these little things about men\u2019s health, men\u2019s testicles, sleep. And he taught me that\n\nDr. Hedberg: Men could definitely use some more help in the health care arena, that\u2019s for sure.\n\nDr. Jones: I know, they get forgotten because women are so outspoken about their own health, but they have just as many hormone issues.\n\nDr. Hedberg: Right, plus we don\u2019t talk about it, and we don\u2019t go to the doctor if we have a problem.\n\nDr.Jones: That\u2019s true.\n\nDr. Hedberg: And I mentioned you know, PCOS, insulin resistance, do you have any strategies for those women who have PCOS.?\n\nDr. Jones: Yeah, so that\u2019s, when women have high testosterone, you have cells on your follicles, they are theca cells and they make your testosterone, when you\u2019re looking at ovaries, and they\u2019re heavily stimulated by insulin. So the more insulin you have if you\u2019re insulin resistant then oftentimes the more testosterone you have.\n\nSo, if you can address your insulin diet\u2026obviously, diet lifestyle you know, again that weight lifting, HIT training, high intensity, interval training, to try to burn up you know, the glucose, get your insulin better. But from a supplement point of view, my two favorites are inositol and berberine, which is my other favorite for insulin. To try to improve insulin resistance, and then along with that. I\u2019ve been doing a lot of research into hormone leptin. Leptin is not tested on the Dutch test, but oftentimes when men and women have insulin resistance they often have leptin resistance.\n\nLeptin is one of the hormones made out of your fat tissues and it helps tell your brain you\u2019re full. But if you\u2019re leptin resistant your brain never hears that you\u2019re full and it doesn\u2019t stimulate the process used to burn up energy and you know, improve the metabolism. And so people tend to keep hold of their fat tissue and in fact even expand it and grow more. So I usually work between those two hormones when it comes to PCOS. Now other herbs I really like though are peonyy like the flower, peony can be helpful. Licorice, peony and licorice together. There\u2019s actually a lot of research on that especially in Chinese medicine, peony and licorice together. You have to be careful with licorice though for blood pressure and potassium. I had two patients in practice who did not stop their licorice and they put themselves on high doses and just stayed on it. And put themselves in the hospital unfortunately with low potassium..\n\nSo it\u2019s very real, but it can help lower testosterone. And then as I said earlier and as we all talked about earlier, women, especially who have high testosterone and get all those symptoms, they don\u2019t like you know, the dark chin hair, the mustache, the dark hair around the nipple, and the belly, cystic acne, anger, irritation, mood swings, male pattern baldness, what have you, it\u2019s because your testosterone and the associated hormones, androgens, are going down the wrong pathway. They\u2019re going down what\u2019s called the Alpha pathway or the 5-alpha-reductase pathway and that 5-alpha is the one that kind of like really brings on the symptoms, acne, hair growth, male pattern baldness what have you.\n\nAnd so in those women we try to again reduce insulin, reduce stress, reduce inflammation, because those things will stimulate that pathway. And then we try to use supplements that are specifically, we call them 5 alpha blockers generically. But again things like zinc is really helpful Saw palmetto, stinging nettle root, EGCG which is one the active ingredients in green tea. All can help sort of lower those symptoms, lessen that pathway, you know, take the gas pedal off. And I joke to women because of all the supplements that are in prostate formula so, I\u2019ll have women say, \u201cThe title says prostate support.\u201d I\u2019m like, \u201cI know, eat the stuff inside.\u201d\n\nDr. Hedberg: Pumpkin seeds are good for you. I would also add in N-acetylcysteine for PCOS and then, I\u2019ve gotten in the real difficult cases I\u2019ve gotten excellent results with the ketogenic diet. And then if that\u2019s, I mean that can be too difficult for a lot of people to follow for a long period of time. But there is some good information out there on the high protein diets for reducing 5-Alpha reductase. So let\u2019s shift into the adrenals and talk about DHEA and DHEA is interesting you know, it was really popular, it was back in the early \u201990s there was a lot of press about it as this anti-aging hormone. And a lot of people took it and screwed themselves up obviously. But so when you\u2019re seeing a high or low DHEA what are you thinking?\n\nDr. Jones: Well, when I see a high DHEA, well, one of the reasons that can be is associated with PCOS. So you know, I look at other markers there. DHEA can actually increase by certain medications. So I check their medication list, so Wellbutrin which is an antidepressant, Xanax, which is an anti-anxiety, and some of the ADD, ADHD medications will actually inadvertently raise DHEA.\n\nSo it may be high because of medication, you got to be careful there. But DHEA will also increase in response to cortisol. DHEA can counter the effect of cortisol in the brain. And so if somebody has a lot of stress going on, they have a lot of cortisol being produced and their DHEA is high then I don\u2019t actually worry about it as much, I\u2019m gonna focus much more on their stress reduction efforts, lifestyle, even supplements if I need to to help get there cortisol back in check. And then oftentimes I\u2019ll see the DHEA come down with it as well.\n\nAnd then again assuming, this is assuming they\u2019re not taking anything with DHEA in it to drive it up there. But I used to be really concerned when I saw high DHEA, but as I do more and more and more research into DHEA because of my job, just you know, out of nerd curiosity I\u2019m not as concerned. It\u2019s not damaging you know, like cortisol can be really damaging. Cortisol is good, we shouldn\u2019t vilify it, it\u2019s anti-inflammatory and good for the immune system and you know, good for blood sugar and all these things. But when it\u2019s too high for too long then it can actually be damaging. And I want my DHEA to help protect my brain and counter its effects. So I tend to go more like why, what\u2019s triggering it to be high and go that route instead. How about you?\n\nDr. Hebderg: That\u2019s mainly, that\u2019s what I see it as a response to stress. It\u2019s elevated and it\u2019s having just basically an adaptation to high cortisol levels, that\u2019s mainly how I see it and then inflammation of course. But have you found anything, have you found good information on the conversion of DHEA into other hormones in men versus women, do you know which pathways it\u2019s gonna be most likely to go down in each gender?\n\nDr. Jones: Well, I mean like if you give DHEA or like if you\u2019re just making\u2026\n\nDr. Hedberg: Yeah, if you give DHEA is it more likely to convert to testosterone or estrogen?\n\nDr. Jones: It is not, no, it\u2019s actually, well, what we see at the lab and actually it was Mark Newman, who owns the lab. Pointed it out to me, he said, \u201cDo you notice all these men on DHEA, their estrogen tends to go up?\u201d So DHEA can convert into another hormone, androstenedione, especially in the fat tissue and then that gets aromatased into estrogen. And so we do tell practitioners you know, keep an eye on that man\u2019s estrogen because if you\u2019re gonna put him on 25 milligrams, 50 milligrams, 100 milligrams of DHEA and all these estrogen symptoms happen he\u2019s getting that aromatasation action.\n\nNow with women though I don\u2019t see that as much, now women are much on typically much smaller doses, somewhere between one and 10 milligrams, 25 milligrams, tops. But usually the average woman is on 5 to 10 milligrams of DHEA. So it may be too you know, just a gender difference, she\u2019s not going to take that, she\u2019s got this bolus of a dose and make a whole lot of estrogen. And women\u2019s aromatase, I think is a little bit different, it\u2019s more", "base_doc": " getting the sleep.\n\nDr. Jones: Deep sleep in particular, right? It\u2019s that slow wave sleep when men make testosterone. Yeah, actually, because I don\u2019t do, like I said, I don\u2019t do as much men\u2019s health, but a really good friend of mine Dr Ralph Esposito, is a men\u2019s health expert. And so he\u2019s always teaching me these little things about men\u2019s health, men\u2019s testicles, sleep. And he taught me that\n\nDr. Hedberg: Men could definitely use some more help in the health care arena, that\u2019s for sure.\n\nDr. Jones: I know, they get forgotten because women are so outspoken about their own health, but they have just as many hormone issues.\n\nDr. Hedberg: Right, plus we don\u2019t talk about it, and we don\u2019t go to the doctor if we have a problem.\n\nDr.Jones: That\u2019s true.\n\nDr. Hedberg: And I mentioned you know, PCOS, insulin resistance, do you have any strategies for those women who have PCOS.?\n\nDr. Jones: Yeah, so that\u2019s, when women have high testosterone, you have cells on your follicles, they are theca cells and they make your testosterone, when you\u2019re looking at ovaries, and they\u2019re heavily stimulated by insulin. So the more insulin you have if you\u2019re insulin resistant then oftentimes the more testosterone you have.\n\nSo, if you can address your insulin diet\u2026obviously, diet lifestyle you know, again that weight lifting, HIT training, high intensity, interval training, to try to burn up you know, the glucose, get your insulin better. But from a supplement point of view, my two favorites are inositol and berberine, which is my other favorite for insulin. To try to improve insulin resistance, and then along with that. I\u2019ve been doing a lot of research into hormone leptin. Leptin is not tested on the Dutch test, but oftentimes when men and women have insulin resistance they often have leptin resistance.\n\nLeptin is one of the hormones made out of your fat tissues and it helps tell your brain you\u2019re full. But if you\u2019re leptin resistant your brain never hears that you\u2019re full and it doesn\u2019t stimulate the process used to burn up energy and you know, improve the metabolism. And so people tend to keep hold of their fat tissue and in fact even expand it and grow more. So I usually work between those two hormones when it comes to PCOS. Now other herbs I really like though are peonyy like the flower, peony can be helpful. Licorice, peony and licorice together. There\u2019s actually a lot of research on that especially in Chinese medicine, peony and licorice together. You have to be careful with licorice though for blood pressure and potassium. I had two patients in practice who did not stop their licorice and they put themselves on high doses and just stayed on it. And put themselves in the hospital unfortunately with low potassium..\n\nSo it\u2019s very real, but it can help lower testosterone. And then as I said earlier and as we all talked about earlier, women, especially who have high testosterone and get all those symptoms, they don\u2019t like you know, the dark chin hair, the mustache, the dark hair around the nipple, and the belly, cystic acne, anger, irritation, mood swings, male pattern baldness, what have you, it\u2019s because your testosterone and the associated hormones, androgens, are going down the wrong pathway.

Trance Labels, DJ's and Producers\n\n\nPerhaps the most ambiguous genre of dance music, trance could be described as a melodic, more or less freeform style of music, partially derived from house. While there is no strict definition for trance, songs of this genre are usually characterized as being accessible and having anthemic and epic and rifting and psychedelic qualities. Using that as a starting point, a basic trance track could then be described as being comprised of a particular melodic or vocal hook which is given presence over a bassline, a drum pattern, which often includes snare or kick drum rolls to mark important moments, and perhaps one or two other semi-quantified aural elements to provide texture and enhance the rhythm. However, not all trance fits that profile, and often times a song's classification as trance has just as much to do with who is playing it as what it sounds like.\n\nThe best way to generally describe the trance genre is that of dance music based around rifts and anthems, which can be either highly energetic or very chilled out. Trance tracks often intermix major and minor chords to create \"epic\" sounding, similar to classical organ music. Most trance is built around the 4/4 beat, and a lot of trance can be very uplifting. Uptempo, uplifting and often euphoric energetic synthesized sounds pumped by a beat and massive hooks, often with long breakdowns building slowly to create a tension and expectancy on the dance floor. Often with driving off-the-beat basslines and utilizing major and minor chords in sequence, trance tracks can take a central epic form of commercial trance or the form of one of several sub-genres including Euro (Epic) Trance, Goa (Psychedelic, Psy) trance, Hard Trance, and Progressive Trance.\n\nBuilding Blocks\n\nYou can very well understand what trance is all about if you consider both house and techno a 'power supply' or a 'fuel' of trance. Yes, in some ways trance is derived from house and techno, but this derivation is just a matter of taking the proper power supply. Look, airplanes consume diesel oil in order to be capable of flight. They just cannot fly without fuel, yet they are not fuel! They are much more complex than plain, simple diesel petrolium oil. Now draw and see an analogy, airplanes is trance, and diesel fuel is house, that's it. A more important, fundamental baseline of trance is derived from religious and spiritual roots of the East and ancient Eastern culture. It is astonishing, in fact, ambient, beatless form of trance has been there for ages! More information on this is forth below this page. From a pure music producer's standpoint, the following elements build up a basic trance track on top of a solid, house-powered beat and energetic, techno-powered progressive sound:\n\nThese are the essential elements of trance, all of them are very important as they completely change the music sound. Applying even one of them changes the sound to trance-alike. House is a mature, developed musical genre. House music can be very good, but house can never be (and has never been and never supposed to be) as uplifting and as emotional as trance. That's because trance, by its definition, has at least some or all of the above unique characteristics appertaining to trance only, which are not attributable to house in any way. Suppose you have a good house track. Once you start adding/incorporating the above qualities into it, it no longer sounds as house, it first becomes progressive house, and then it simply turns into trance.\n\nHistory & Evolution\n\nYou can arguably trace trance music back to religious roots emanating from a spiritual state of mind reminiscent of shamanism and elements of bhuddism. With this in mind, it's very important that trance age in aggregate can be estimated as hundreds and thousands years. The actual sound of contemporary trance, however, was born as early as 1990 in Germany, and through pioneering trance labels like Dragonfly the sound started to take on a slightly more mainstream appeal during the later 90's. Goa and Psy-trance are arguably older, with their characteristic sounds purportedly emerging in Israel and India. The repetitive nature of much of the early trance tracks provided club-goers with the ideal chance to immerse themselves in a new style of music after a period of relative quiet on what had been termed the \"dance\" scene.\n\nArguably a fusion of techno and house, early trance shared much with techno in terms of the tempo and rhythmic structures but also added more melodic overtones which were appropriated from the style of house popular in Europe's club scene at that time. However, the melodies in trance differed from euro/club house in that although they tended to be emotional and uplifting, they did not \"bounce around\" in the same way that house did. This early trance tended to be characterized by the anthemic qualities described above, and typically involved a break-down portion of the song in which the beat was dropped for a few bars to focus on the melody before bringing the beat back with a renewed intensity. The trance became instantly popular in Europe and spread very quickly. Inevitably, the style was to evolve and as more and more mainstream DJ's picked up on the sound of trance, so the sound became more commercial and more diverse often relegating the traditional trance styles into background sub-genres.\n\nBy the mid-1990's, trance had emerged commercially as one of the dominant genres of dance music. Immensely popular, trance found itself filling a niche as edgier than house, more soothing than drum-n-bass, and more accessible than techno. By this time, trance had become synonymous with progressive house and both genres essentially subsumed each other under the commercial banner of \"progressive.\" Artists like Brian Transeau (BT), Paul Van Dyk, Ferry Corsten (Art of Trance), and Underworld came to the forefront as premier producers and remixers, bringing with them the emotional, epic feel of the style. Meanwhile, DJ's like Paul Oakenfold, Sasha, and John Digweed were championing the sound in the clubs and through the sale of pre-recorded mixes. By the end of the 1990's, trance remained commercially huge but had fractured into an extremely diverse genre. Perhaps as a consequence, similar things were happening with the DJ's as well; for example, Sasha and Digweed, who together had helped bring the progressive sound to the forefront, all but abandoned it by 2000, instead spinning a darker mix of the rising \"deep trance\" style.\n\nIn 1996, the UK became the core of the new trance phenomenon taking trance to new heights in UK clubs and out to the clubber's island of Ibiza. DJ's like Paul Oakenfold, Sasha and John Digweed started to open the eyes of the clubbing population to what would probably be best now described as euro trance: epic winding tracks with monumental breakdowns and uplifting lead lines culminating in the ATB and Delirium sounds of 2000. Assisted by well-known producers like Robert Miles, Sash and BT, these tunes struck to the hearts of an audience looking for new energy and excitement in their music. Just as interesting to observe is the creeping effect of trance around the world. While the Israelis and Swedes in particular continue to produce new sounds, American and the new Eastern European markets are absorbed in the trance sounds of a once frenetic European market. Meantime the UK and Canada are pushing the boundaries of hard trance with new genres cropping up like Hard House, a fusion of trance and house.\n\nWith such a diverse range of music to satisfy within the genre, it is inevitable that trance becomes a victim of its own success. We've already seen the likes of trance-made DJ's like Paul Van Dyk denounce the genre and its becoming de-facto to slate the genre as old hat. However, for many true trance fans of the mid-nineties, this is ultimately leading bringing their genre back round to what it was designed to be: music for the mind, not music for the masses. The likely path for commercial trance music is either back into the \"dance\" fold or to once more re-badge itself, maybe as progressive, maybe as epic dance music - whichever route it transpires to follow, trance should be remembered for providing a renaissance of dance music. Currently trance continues to expand the diversity of the genre as expressed through many of its brightest DJ talents.\n\nEuro Trance\n\nA central, neutral form of trance which is probably the simplest to understand. Euro trance is often very uplifting, it is usually around 140 - 145 bpm and has a lot of big rifts. The bass is generally quite heavy and it will often have a female vocal. Due to the big rifts, breakdowns and vocals this style of trance can also be referred to as commercial trance. This form of trance definitely falls into the instant \"feel good\" category - for many trance", "base_doc": " Trance\n 7.

The likely path for commercial trance music is either back into the \"dance\" fold or to once more re-badge itself, maybe as progressive, maybe as epic dance music - whichever route it transpires to follow, trance should be remembered for providing a renaissance of dance music. Currently trance continues to expand the diversity of the genre as expressed through many of its brightest DJ talents.\n\nEuro Trance\n\nA central, neutral form of trance which is probably the simplest to understand. Euro trance is often very uplifting, it is usually around 140 - 145 bpm and has a lot of big rifts. The bass is generally quite heavy and it will often have a female vocal. Due to the big rifts, breakdowns and vocals this style of trance can also be referred to as commercial trance. This form of trance definitely falls into the instant \"feel good\" category - for many trance-heads, this is how it all started. Currently much harder edged Euro Trance is being referred to as \"Hard Trance\", in many ways it is similar to Euro, with big, but usually not so \"euphoric\", rifts and a bit faster, usually around 145 - 150 bpm, often using acid lines.\n\nGoa Trance\n\nGo", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 165366, "pt_loc": 7071536, "pt_shuffle_idx": 189325434, "doc_index_f": 296787474, "doc_index_l": 296787474, "offset_f": 276, "offset_l": 2324, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 79, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": "Delaney took risks, plummeting feet first through the hatchways, and partly breaking his descent with the handrails, falling like a parachutist, rolling instantly deploying his Uzi against \u2026<|endoftext|>ia slips away from him.

Usually I will introduce my concept of a god by stating it like that. i.e. \"If there were a god...\" It helps to introduce my point of view through rhetoric rather than enunciation.\n\n\"You are just mad at God\", has nothing to do with anything we as atheists may say or do or imply.\n\nRecent brain studies have revealed the many religious fundamentalists literally cannot even entertain the\u00a0 thought that there might not be their god -\n\nAnd even that they literally cannot even imagine simply not believing in their God.\n\nLiterally cannot, as in: their neurons and synapses cannot create the thought, even willfully. They are hardwired, usually as a result of their environment growing up, to \"know\" God exists.\n\nThey honestly think atheists, of course - along with everyone - also know there is a God and can feel Him too; thus, the only logical explanation to them for what we say is that we are impetuously rebelling against Him.\n\nAmazing! I have tried to conceive of a 'god', and can do it, but then I start asking these little nagging questions like:\n\nHow does this being have an existence without a material brain?\n\nWhere did it come from?\n\nWhy is it interested in human beings?\n\nHow can it love?\n\nWhat is it made of?\n\n\nThere's a rather longer version of this post available over here (7th paragraph, starting with \"To us it seems absurd\" [a very useful phrase when discussing religion!]) where I do allude to this possibility.\n\nBut now you are making a much stronger claim than I am, claiming there are even studies to support it (I'd be interested to see citations).\u00a0 This is a VERY strong claim; we can on our side imagine being wrong; why can't they?\n\nHowever, I think even if you are correct about many of them, there are probably some who can conceive god's nonexistence (or lack of belief in god's existence) with effort, and we don't help them do so with figurative phrasing where we seem to be contradicting ourselves, our literal statements being, basically: \"There is no god and he is an asshole.\"\u00a0 This person is not being challenged to think outside his box so he probably won't, and it won't occur to him we are being figurative talking about god being an asshole; rather they will take us literally... and conclude we are just mad at god.\n\nAnd for those others you are talking about, who just cannot process the thought... well I just don't want to make it easier for their brain to short circuit.\u00a0 It's got to be slightly harder, if even on a subconscious level, for them to blank out someone whose every literal word is consistent with atheism, than it is someone who makes atheist claims but then talks about god's personality in such a way that sounds like he/she accepts god's existence.\u00a0 Or to put it another way:\u00a0 why feed these guys \"evidence\" they need for their conclusion?\u00a0 They then go along solidly convinced they are right, and they can quote what we said as evidence, because we unwittingly helped their confirmation bias operate.\n\nFor myself, I mostly do not let on I am atheist, or that I think we are facing global warming and mass extinctions due to rising temperatures, or that we need to rethink our culture to adapt to our changing environment, or that some corporations need their policies examined, or that religion needs to take a full back seat to the sciences.\n\nIn my family, few of them have a\u00a0\u00a0clue as to the sciences, or even their impact on the environment. If I actually challedged any of them, I would be discounted as some know- it-all extreamist, and a fist fight would ensue.\n\nFor some, ignorance is pursued as an ethic. I wonder how tight ignorance can be pursued, before it becomes deeply disfunctional.\n\nWell I am assuming you've made the decision to engage the theist.\u00a0 There are oftentimes very many good reasons NOT to do it, and none of what I said applies there.\u00a0\n\nFor example, I don't dare go \"out\" at work.\n\nA few thoughts. One is just as you said. We talk about deities as if they exist for illustrating purposes, but the believer thinks we're 'admitting their truth' by doing so. It's hard not to do this, but it's rampant. I grew up in a very religious home and when I see videos of even the prominent atheist speakers, like Richard Dawkins or John Loftus, I filter what they say in a dualistic way. In one way I see exactly what they mean, but in the other I interpret what, say, my mother would 'hear'. And for the second, even though I know they're not saying what might be interpreted, the wording is such that it helps confirm the religious fantasies about atheists. Another example is Robert Ingersoll's lectures from the 1800's. They are so powerful yet hilarious too. But when he says 'I defy this god,' it could be interpreted as implicitly saying, 'I agree this god exist but he is so horrible I choose to defy him.' When only he is defying the concept of the god.\n\nThe other thought is that it's extremely frustrating when my roommate, who is one of the oddest christians is some ways and I've met a lot, says things like, 'You must have fallen away from god because you never saw real christianity,' or ,' I think you hate christianity.' And even when I say, 'no, I don't hate christianity, I just think it's incorrect,' I get the response, 'Oh I think you do.' How arrogant can you get?\n\nI'm used up from being considered un-American just because I'm a very much self-outed atheist and have been for the past 25-years, and before that I was a hyperactive agnostic after being a skeptic since early childhood.\n\nMay I heartily recommend \"Society Without God\" by Phil Zuckerman where one will learn the Scandanavian nations are well on the way to establishing that utopian no-god\u00a0dream.\u00a0 I want to move to Denmark!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\"Well, I\u00a0used to get mad at God and Santa Claus, but that was a long time ago.\"\n\nI wish we had a like button sometimes!\n\nHonestly, the ones that are too stupid to get it aren't the ones we are talking to.

Often when implementing Six Sigma or DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control) cycle, we tend to neglect the human factor. On the edges, process improvement sound like it has only to do with numbers and data. This is not true, in fact 80% of the projects trying to accomplish this improvement fail due to various soft issues. Teamwork, transparency, collaboration and effective communication are important factors that should be present in order to improve the process since "people are the process." Most of the time, the problems are due to time, growth and changes in the environment of the office and the people should not be blamed.

In order for a process to be implemented successfully, it is important to consider the following:

I have tried to conceive of a 'god', and can do it, but then I start asking these little nagging questions like:\n\nHow does this being have an existence without a material brain?\n\nWhere did it come from?\n\nWhy is it interested in human beings?\n\nHow can it love?\n\nWhat is it made of?\n\n\nThere's a rather longer version of this post available over here (7th paragraph, starting with \"To us it seems absurd\" [a very useful phrase when discussing religion!]) where I do allude to this possibility.\n\nBut now you are making a much stronger claim than I am, claiming there are even studies to support it (I'd be interested to see citations).\u00a0 This is a VERY strong claim; we can on our side imagine being wrong; why can't they?\n\nHowever, I think even if you are correct about many of them, there are probably some who can conceive god's nonexistence (or lack of belief in god's existence) with effort, and we don't help them do so with figurative phrasing where we seem to be contradicting ourselves, our literal statements being, basically: \"There is no god and he is an asshole.\"\u00a0 This person is not being challenged to think outside his box so he probably won't, and it won't occur to him we are being figurative talking about god being an asshole; rather they will take us literally... and conclude we are just mad at god.\n\nAnd for those others you are talking about, who just cannot process the thought... well I just don't want to make it easier for their brain to short circuit.\u00a0 It's got to be slightly harder, if even on a subconscious level, for them to blank out someone whose every literal word is consistent with atheism, than it is someone who makes atheist claims but then talks about god's personality in such a way that sounds like he/she accepts god's existence.\u00a0 Or to put it another way:\u00a0 why feed these guys \"evidence\" they need for their conclusion?\u00a0 They then go along solidly convinced they are right, and they can quote what we said as evidence, because we unwittingly helped their confirmation bias operate.\n\nFor myself, I mostly do not let on I am atheist, or that I think we are facing global warming and mass extinctions due to rising temperatures, or that we need to rethink our culture to adapt to our changing environment, or that some corporations need their policies examined, or that religion needs to take a full back seat to the sciences.\n\nIn my family, few of them have a\u00a0\u00a0clue as to the sciences, or even their impact on the environment. If I actually challedged any of them, I would be discounted as some know- it-all extreamist, and a fist fight would ensue.\n\nFor some, ignorance is pursued as an ethic. I wonder how tight ignorance can be pursued, before it becomes deeply disfunctional.\n\nWell I am assuming you've made the decision to engage the theist.\u00a0 There are oftentimes very many good reasons NOT to do it, and none of what I said applies there.\u00a0\n\nFor example, I don't dare go \"out\" at work.\n\nA few thoughts. One is just as you said. We talk about deities as if they exist for illustrating purposes, but the believer thinks we're 'admitting their truth' by doing so. It's hard not to do this, but it's rampant. I grew up in a very religious home and when I see videos of even the prominent atheist speakers, like Richard Dawkins or John Loftus, I filter what they say in a dualistic way. In one way I see exactly what they mean, but in the other I interpret what, say, my mother would 'hear'. And for the second, even though I know they're not saying what might be interpreted, the wording is such that it helps confirm the religious fantasies about atheists. Another example is Robert Ingersoll's lectures from the 1800's. They are so powerful yet hilarious too. But when he says 'I defy this god,' it could be interpreted as implicitly saying, 'I agree this god exist but he is so horrible I choose to defy him.' When only he is defying the concept of the god.\n\nThe other thought is that it's extremely frustrating when my roommate, who is one of the oddest christians is some ways and I've met a lot, says things like, 'You must have fallen away from god because you never saw real christianity,' or ,' I think you hate christianity.' And even when I say, 'no, I don't hate christianity, I just think it's incorrect,' I get the response, 'Oh I think you do.' How arrogant can you get?\n\nI'm used up from being considered un-American just because I'm a very much self-outed atheist and have been for the past 25-years, and before that I was a hyperactive agnostic after being a skeptic since early childhood.\n\nMay I heartily recommend \"Society Without God\" by Phil Zuckerman where one will learn the Scandanavian nations are well on the way to establishing that utopian no-god\u00a0dream.\u00a0 I want to move to Denmark!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\"Well, I\u00a0used to get mad at God and Santa Claus, but that was a long time ago.\"\n\nI wish we had a like button sometimes!\n\nHonestly, the ones that are too stupid to get it aren't the ones we are talking to. They are lost.\u00a0 So don't lose any sleep over it\n\n\nSupport T|A\n\nThink Atheist is 100% member supported\n\nAll proceeds go to keeping Think Atheist online.\n\nDonate with Dogecoin\n\n\n\nThings you hate.\n\nStarted by Devlin Cuite in Small Talk.

Often when implementing Six Sigma or DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control) cycle, we tend to neglect the human factor. On the edges, process improvement sound like it has only to do with numbers and data. This is not true, in fact 80% of the projects trying to accomplish this improvement fail due to various soft issues. Teamwork, transparency, collaboration and effective communication are important factors that should be present in order to improve the process since "people are the process." Most of the time, the problems are due to time, growth and changes in the environment of the office and the people should not be blamed.

In order for a process to be implemented successfully, it is important to consider the following:

1. Motivation: The employee should have the right motivation to perform a certain task at a certain standard rather than temporary motivation factors that could create issues at a later", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 168638, "pt_loc": 18985611, "pt_shuffle_idx": 208377204, "doc_index_f": 326648469, "doc_index_l": 326648471, "offset_f": 293, "offset_l": 294, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 26, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [137, 1617, 295]} -{"pt_doc": "alyards, ie ropes that lift the sail. One halyard is \"klofallet\" - the throat halyard, the other is \"piggfallet\" the peak halyard. It should be equal number of blocks in the two halyards, so that when one lifts the sail alone, the gaff boom (usually just called the gaff) goes up equally in both ends. It becomes easier to hoist the mainsail if throat halyard is slightly higher than the peak, so that the peak pointing slightly down. Be sure to have slack in the sheet when the mainsail is set. The boomlift must be attached, so that the boom does not hit the deck when the sail is hoisted. If the boat has topsail, the topsail sheet must also be loose. It is easiest to hoist the sail when the wind comes in from the front.When the throat halyard tightens the luff (the edge of the sail running along the mast) fix the halyard temporarily, more tight if windy. No you can choose to let the peak halyard be, to keep the power out of the sail (for example, when you lie to a dock and plan to sail from the quay). In this case, the peak can point nearly towards the end of the main boom. When you tighten the peak halyard, you pull untill there is no more folds in the mainsail, and usually a little bit \"extra\".\n\n\nThe staysail is set often after the mainsail is set.

The jib boom is not a bowsprit, as it is retractable. It should in principle always be on deck when the jib is not in use. The reasons for this include: boat takes up less space in harbours, vaterstay (wire from tip of boom to the stem) is not in conflict with anchor and chain, and the center of gravity of the boat is moved towards the center of the boat, which is important in wavey conditions. Setting the jib: Start by laying out the sheets to the helmsman, and then pull the jib out on the jib boom. 90% of the jib is left on the deck, make sure it does not blow out. Then you are ready at the halyard, and get it up as quick as you can. It is best if the staysail is on the same side as the jib, so that the jib is set in the leeward of the staysail. Then you are able to get the jib up without too much wind blowing into it. It is not important to get it very tight at this moment, as the rest of the tightening should be done by the \"klyverstrekktalje\", the jib-halyard-tightener: The other end of the jib halyard has an \"exchange\", usually 4:1.\n\nFrom this link you can download a PDF for rig and handling advices written by Knut von Trepka (in Norwegian).

The world\u2019s first artificial pancreas will be out in the market in 2018. With the release of the artificial pancreas, there is now a better way for those suffering from type 1 diabetes to monitor and control their glucose levels without daily injections.\n\nPatients, who are suffering from type 1 diabetes sufferers, have to use two different devices just to ensure that they stay within allowable levels. One device to monitor glucose levels and the other to inject the correct does of insulin. The new invention combines the two devices in one system.\n\nIn the series of tests conducted using the artificial pancreas system, patients now get a relief from the daily routines\u00a0in managing diabetes. The new system manages patients blood sugar effectively without the necessity of constant monitoring.\n\nScientists designed a small device to monitor and adjust a user\u2019s blood sugar levels without them using different devices..\n\nThe device is said to negate the amount of human error when injecting insulin, thus allowing type 1 diabetes sufferers to live longer and fuller lives. The said device is said to become an alternative to beta cell transplant. The transplant is a new treatment option that researchers are studying. However, results are varied, and appears to have a negative impact on the patient\u2019s immune system.\n\n\nHowever,\u00a0there are still many obstacles to the success of this research. Insulin takes up to 2 hours to reach peak levels in the bloodstream, making it difficult for the device to constant monitor, especially when the user is doing a lot of physical activity.\n\nWith advancements in technology, researchers remain hopeful, that a perfect artificial pancreas system will be out by 2018.

What this rhetorical framework does is to abolish the whole notion of \"the people\" as citizens who are members of an active and self-determining political community with common concerns and common responsibilities, and who can (potentially) use government as a means to deliberate about and act on collective issues. Instead, it expresses the world-view of a simplistic market utopianism that ignores any question of the common good (or simply equates the common good with an unfettered market economy). In short, what this represents is the triumph of the crudest utilitarian liberalism and the startling decay of any serious civic discourse. (John Adams would agree with this diagnosis, I'm sure.)\n\nYours in struggle,\nJeff Weintraub<|endoftext|>Peregrine Worsthorne, for example, used the ferocity of the confrontations in Handsworth, Brixton, and Tottenham to argue that there was a major question mark over the possibility of assimilating the \u2018coloured population\u2019 into mainstream \u2018British values\u2019 (Sunday Telegraph, 29 September 1985).<|endoftext|>The other day I was telling an acquaintance that I had completed a year of being on PrEP last year in November and I was really proud of myself for making such a decision and sticking to it. She mentioned that she had seen me advocating for PrEP but admitted that she had actually been meaning to ask me what PrEP is because she also wanted to know.\n\nAt that moment I felt like the nurse in Episode 3 who was explaining what PrEP is to Dineo who wanted to make she was extra protected as she was having sex with an older guy.\n\nI felt like it was my duty to educate her about PrEP because adolescents and young women in South Africa are actually the key populations that are being catered for when it comes to PrEP administration. These two groups are believed to be at a higher risk of contracting HIV because some men seldom test for HIV, instead opting to test themselves through their partners.\n\nWho should use PrEP?\n\nWhen my friend asked the question above, I mentioned to her that:\n\nPrEP or Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis is taken by HIV negative people who believe they are at risk of being exposed to HIV. This pill is taken as added protection and is used in conjunction with condoms.\n\nPrEP is different from PEP. PEP, or Post-Exposure Prophylaxis, is taken if you\u2019ve already been exposed to HIV, hence it is called POST; while PrEP is taken to prevent, which is why it is called PRE-exposure Prophylaxis.\n\n\"How do I take PrEP correctly?\"\n\nPrEP should be taken at the same time every day. It is best to choose a time when you know you won't forget. Many people opt to take their pill in the morning after brushing their teeth because they know that they will always brush every day.\n\nIf you miss one, or even two pills sometimes, you will still be fine as long as you go back to a daily regimen of taking it at the same time each day. However don\u2019t stop PrEP if you miss a few days, rather just carry on once you remember. This has happened to me but when I have remembered I always took it immediately.\n\n\"I've heard about side effects. Are they severe?\"\n\nLike all other medicines, PrEP has the potential to cause side effects.

He is of Native American descent, a biographical detail that might help the convention reach out to minorities.\n\nHunt, 55, prevailed in a crowded field of six _ winning 53 percent of the vote on the first ballot _ and will seek to reverse troubling trends, including a decline in membership.\n\nThe clergy sexual abuse scandal that struck the U.S. Roman Catholic Church starting in 2002 has also touched the Southern Baptist Convention, although to a much lesser degree. The past two years have seen a few high-profile allegations against Baptist clergy, and a key victims' advocate in the Catholic crisis, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, began lobbying the Baptists.\n\nIn 2006, an executive committee panel began studying how to address the issue. Then, last year, Oklahoma pastor Wade Burleson proposed that the convention develop a database to track clergy and staff who are \"credibly accused of, personally confessed to, or legally been convicted of sexual harassment or abuse.\" The database would then be available to all churches.\n\nThe executive committee report, \"Responding to the Evil of Sexual Abuse,\" urges churches to conduct background checks using a U.S. Department of Justice database of sexual offenders.\n\nBut it rejected establishing a new Southern Baptist database, arguing it would be impossible to build a comprehensive list.

They must be on notice that Southern Baptists are not a harvest field for their devious deeds.\"\n\nThe vastly different approaches taken by U.S. Catholic bishops and Baptist leaders illustrates the differences in the two traditions.

What this rhetorical framework does is to abolish the whole notion of \"the people\" as citizens who are members of an active and self-determining political community with common concerns and common responsibilities, and who can (potentially) use government as a means to deliberate about and act on collective issues. Instead, it expresses the world-view of a simplistic market utopianism that ignores any question of the common good (or simply equates the common good with an unfettered market economy). In short, what this represents is the triumph of the crudest utilitarian liberalism and the startling decay of any serious civic discourse. (John Adams would agree with this diagnosis, I'm sure.)\n\nYours in struggle,\nJeff Weintraub<|endoftext|>The other day I was telling an acquaintance that I had completed a year of being on PrEP last year in November and I was really proud of myself for making such a decision and sticking to it. She mentioned that she had seen me advocating for PrEP but admitted that she had actually been meaning to ask me what PrEP is because she also wanted to know.\n\nAt that moment I felt like the nurse in Episode 3 who was explaining what PrEP is to Dineo who wanted to make she was extra protected as she was having sex with an older guy.\n\nI felt like it was my duty to educate her about PrEP because adolescents and young women in South Africa are actually the key populations that are being catered for when it comes to PrEP administration. These two groups are believed to be at a higher risk of contracting HIV because some men seldom test for HIV, instead opting to test themselves through their partners.\n\nWho should use PrEP?\n\nWhen my friend asked the question above, I mentioned to her that:\n\nPrEP or Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis is taken by HIV negative people who believe they are at risk of being exposed to HIV. This pill is taken as added protection and is used in conjunction with condoms.\n\nPrEP is different from PEP. PEP, or Post-Exposure Prophylaxis, is taken if you\u2019ve already been exposed to HIV, hence it is called POST; while PrEP is taken to prevent, which is why it is called PRE-exposure Prophylaxis.\n\n\"How do I take PrEP correctly?\"\n\nPrEP should be taken at the same time every day. It is best to choose a time when you know you won't forget. Many people opt to take their pill in the morning after brushing their teeth because they know that they will always brush every day.\n\nIf you miss one, or even two pills sometimes, you will still be fine as long as you go back to a daily regimen of taking it at the same time each day. However don\u2019t stop PrEP if you miss a few days, rather just carry on once you remember. This has happened to me but when I have remembered I always took it immediately.\n\n\"I've heard about side effects. Are they severe?\"\n\nLike all other medicines, PrEP has the potential to cause side effects. I have been lucky in that I have not experienced any side-effects, although some people have mentioned that they have experienced nausea, insomnia and sometimes vomiting. These are uncomfortable conditions but thankfully they go away after a week or so.\n\nTaking PrEP for vaginal and anal sex is completely different, with vaginal sex you need to take for much longer before it starts \u2018working\u2019 in comparison to anal sex.\n\nIf anything, taking PrEP has taught me more about safer sex as well as HIV because I had to read up on it and by doing so I came across much information on safe sex which is why I made it my mission to educate people about it.\n\nDo you want to know more about PrEP or find your nearest PrEP providers?

They prohibit cannabis and attempt to demonize it to protect their interests and it is costing us a fortune in scarce and precious tax dollars to do it. Using cannabis will almost never ruin your life, It is beneficial to most who use it, but getting \"busted\" for it almost always hurts the person way more than the substance ever could.

But there are constitutionally legal tests for police and employers to determine if someone has been drinking in inappropriate circumstances. Smoking also costs society a great deal, but at least it does not impair a person's motor skills and jeopardize public safety.

Objection.\nI request permission to treat the defendant's husband as a hostile witness.\nAs far as I know, her family was fine about it.\nIs it fair to say your wife wasn't happy with her life in the suburbs? No, she was very content.\nYou don't have children.\nWhat did your wife do all day? Nadira likes to cook, she reads several newspapers, she's very interested in current events.\nLike the situation in Iraq? Her younger brother was in Abu Ghraib prison.\nTurning your attention to the day in question, Mr.\nHarrington, did Nadira visit you in your office at 55 Morris Street? Yes, as she had many times.\nEnough times to know about the vacant office? Objection.\nDid your wife wear this blouse that day? I don't remember.\nNothing further.\nNow, Jeff, Nadira chose to come here voluntarily five years ago? JEFF: Yes, that's correct.\nDid she ever say it was a mistake, that she wanted to go back? No, absolutely not.\nShe loves this country.\nStill? Well, Nadira was never very political, but she was very upset about what was happening back home.\nShe started going to a mosque.\nI remember I came home one day and she had CNN on and she was just sitting there, crying.\nOne of our planes had dropped a bomb on the neighborhood she grew up in and the building she lived in was a pile of rubble.\nAnd then her brother Mohammed was arrested and sent to Abu Ghraib prison?

I was afraid to ask.\nHow'd your hostile witness go? We needed him to put the defendant in the building and he did.\nThe only thing missing was a solo violin.\nWell, remind the jury there's a grieving family in Queens and a dead girl who went to Iraq for a noble cause.\nNot everyone feels that way.\nWe deposed a mini-Stalin who tortured and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of his own people.\nWho attacked Kuwait and gassed the Kurds.\nSo why didn't we go in years ago?

Yes.\nWhen he arrived, they asked him to remove all of his clothing.\nHe said he couldn't do this, because he was a Muslim.\nSo a female soldier took a knife and cut off his clothing.\nThen She touched his penis and laughed.\nOne time one of the guards made him lie on the floor, naked.\nThey ordered him to sing the Iraqi national song, and as he was singing, they put a stick into his rectum.\nIf he stopped, they said they would push it in further.\nUh, Nadira? Nadira? Do you need to, uh, take a moment? It is hard for me to say these things because of my faith.\nThree months after he was released, Mohammed was waiting in line, and a man blew up a car and he was killed.\nCan you, uh, tell us how you met Corporal Starr? My brother said that the soldiers in Abu Ghraib wore tape over their names, but one name he heard was Starr.\nAnd he knew that these soldiers came from New York, so I found Starr's address on the Internet.\nI thought I wanted to meet this woman.\nI needed to look into her eyes and ask her why she did what she did to my brother.\nSo what did you do? I wrote her a letter to go to my husband's building, to pick up some tickets.\nADLER: Which was a trick? Yes, to get her to come.\nAnd you brought pig's blood?

Yes.\nYou sent her an invitation to a phony party honoring American veterans? I wanted to make sure she would come.\nAnd on the day you killed her, you bought a pint of pig's blood.\nTo shame her.\nYou also brought with you a white blouse to use as a funeral tunic, because you planned to kill her.\nIsn't it a fact that after you struck Lindsay Starr with a pipe, after she was unconscious, you put your hands over her nose and mouth until her heart stopped beating? Because she Because of what she did to my country! Which is it, Mrs.\nHarrington, your brother or your country? You said you came to help us.\nBut to help us, you need to respect us, and all Americans do is bring shame.\nYou break down our doors.\nYou throw us on the ground and you put your feet on our necks.\nYou search our women.\nYou humiliate our men.\nAnd you say to the world that you are the guardians of freedom?

This caused The Economist magazine to remark that the Z\u00f3calo and the area surrounding it \". . . should be one of the most compelling architectural destinations in the Americas. Instead, much of it is a slum of gutted buildings, dark and dirty streets blocked by milling vendors, and garbage-strewn vacant lots.\"[10]\n\nIn the late 1990s, Cuauht\u00e9moc C\u00e1rdenas, then mayor of Mexico City, and Dr. Rene Coulomb, director general of the Historic Center Trust, launched a $300,000,000 renovation of the Z\u00f3calo and the surrounding city center, with the aim of attracting businesses and residents back to the area. There were plans to remove the iron grating separating the Cathedral from the Z\u00f3calo, but there was so much public opposition to the idea that it was eventually scrapped.[11]\n\n21st century[edit]\n\nRecently, former mayor Marcelo Ebrard launched a campaign to perform maintenance works in the Historic Center (which, because of Congressional reduction of the annual budget of the local government, was largely supported with the money collected in the streets for that purpose by government officials). The campaign had satisfactory results.[12]\n\nIn 2010, a replica of the Angel de la Independencia was brought to Z\u00f3calo as a way of spreading out the protesters from the original Angel site. This is because the original site of the Angel is located in a financial area, with a high traffic flow, making policing more difficult than the Z\u00f3calo.\n\nAs political hub[edit]\n\nProtesters and Mexican army during 1968 protests.\nProtesters supporting Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador in 2006\n\nThe Z\u00f3calo is the center of government of both the nation and of the capital, where the powers-that-be are. This makes it a popular place for protests, and it is often dotted with protesters in makeshift camps and banners.[2] As the plaza can hold more than 100,000 people, it is also the scene of major political rallies. Thousands rallied here in protest when Cuauht\u00e9moc C\u00e1rdenas lost against Carlos Salinas in a presidential election widely believed to have been rigged in 1988.[13] In 2001, followers of Zapatista leader Subcomandante Marcos, mostly poor Chiapan indigenous people, marched into the Z\u00f3calo to support a bill that would give them greater political autonomy.[14] Following C\u00e1rdenas\u2019 lead, Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador staged major protests here after the 2006 Mexican presidential elections[15] as well as a rally with thousands of participants against President Calder\u00f3n's initiative to allow private and foreign investment in Mexico's state-owned energy company, PEMEX.[16] Very recently, a protest against crime held on 30 August 2008 filled the Z\u00f3calo to capacity.[17]\n\nThe plaza is also home to regularly occurring political events. Just before 11 pm on each 15 September, the president of Mexico comes out onto the central balcony of the National Palace to perform the Grito de Dolores to the crowd gathered in the plaza.[1] However, even this is sometimes subject to the political winds of the country. For the 2006 Grito, the crowd in the Z\u00f3calo was addressed not by then-President Vicente Fox, who had gone to Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato to deliver the Grito, but by Alejandro Encinas, then-mayor of Mexico City. This was done to avoid mass protests in the Z\u00f3calo following the disputed presidential election between Felipe Calder\u00f3n and L\u00f3pez Obrador.[18]\n\nAn alternative expression of Mexican pride is the celebration of the spring equinox on the Z\u00f3calo. This is done by groups looking to reassert the superiority of indigenous ethnic bloodlines (La Raza) and pre-Hispanic culture. They choose to do the ceremony here not only because it is close to where such rites used to be performed before the Spaniards came, but also because they are right next to the symbols of \"Spanish\" ecclesiastical and secular power (The Cathedral and National Palace, respectively), which they oppose.[19]\n\nThe Z\u00f3calo area has been, since 2014, where large rallies have been held in the aftermath of the 2014 Iguala mass kidnapping, the biggest ever tragedy in national history in recent times.\n\nAs artistic venue[edit]\n\nDancer readying for performance next to the Z\u00f3calo\nA Mexican army band performs in the Z\u00f3calo\n\nSince 1982, due to efforts to revitalize the city center, the Z\u00f3calo has become the scene of a number of artistic and cultural events. There are daily impromptu shows of Aztec dancers dancing to drums, wearing feathered headdresses and anklets made of concha shells.[2] On a grander scale, some examples of events held here recently are Spencer Tunick's photo shoot[20] where nearly 18,000 Mexicans bared all for the artist, surpassing the record set earlier in Barcelona[21][22] and artist Gregory Colbert's Ashes and Snow Nomadic Museum.[23] One curious event was the building of a temporary ice-skating rink of about 3,200 m\u00b2 in the middle of the Z\u00f3calo, for use by the city's residents for free in the winter of 2007.[24]\n\nThe Festival de M\u00e9xico is an annual event with programs dedicated to art (popular and fine) and academia held in the Z\u00f3calo and some other venues in the historic center. In 2008, the 24th Festival had 254 performances and shows from over 20 countries in 65 plazas and other locations near the plaza.[25]\n\nThe Zocalo is often the site of major parades in the city including the Mexico City Alebrije Parade.\n\nConcerts by popular singers and groups have also been held here. Caf\u00e9 Tacuba drew almost 100,000 people to the plaza in 2005 and Colombian superstar Shakira drew a crowd of about 210,000 according to Mexico's Civil Protection.[26] In August 2008, a skateboarding/BMX event drew 50,000 young people on a Sunday afternoon.[27]\n\nPaul McCartney gave a free concert here on May 10, 2012 in front of 250,000 people as a part of his On The Run Tour.

In my own native Dublin, it is quite common to hear about people getting mugged. I knew a Chinese exchanged student who was mugged after returning from a late night with friends. She was by herself walking down a gentrified part of Dublin that was still quite dangerous at night. She didn\u2019t understand that there are certain parts of the city, particularly after dark, you don\u2019t want to be in when you are alone. It was hard for her to know considering the area was gentrified and only a local would know if it was safe.\n\nAs a foreigner, I was worried that I wouldn\u2019t know where was safe and where wasn\u2019t. Fortunately, I learned that Taiwan is very safe.\n\nSince coming to Taiwan, I have yet to have seen violent crime on the surface of society. What I mean by that is, of course there are issues of crime, but I sense that in Taiwan, it does not boil over into plain sight, unlike in many Western countries.

It is a very prevalent problem, particularly abroad. The Taiwanese government has found it very frustrating when these scam artists are caught in other countries because they are usually deported to China, not Taiwan. Spain, Kenya and many other countries have deported Taiwanese scammers to China.

I am not sure how common this is now, or if it is something that ever happened on a larger scale, but hopefully, you, dear reader, can leave some comments and let me know.\n\nMy advice for anyone getting scam phone calls is to simply either hang up immediately or waste their time. Just keep saying \u201cyes\u201d or \u201c\u662f\u201d \u201c\u55ef\u201d to everything they ask until they eventually get sick of you and hang up. Nothing better than wasting their time; even if it wastes a bit of your own.\n\nDespite my best efforts, I haven\u2019t figured out how to stop the constant stream of invitations from scammers on Line.

In my own native Dublin, it is quite common to hear about people getting mugged. I knew a Chinese exchanged student who was mugged after returning from a late night with friends. She was by herself walking down a gentrified part of Dublin that was still quite dangerous at night. She didn\u2019t understand that there are certain parts of the city, particularly after dark, you don\u2019t want to be in when you are alone. It was hard for her to know considering the area was gentrified and only a local would know if it was safe.\n\nAs a foreigner, I was worried that I wouldn\u2019t know where was safe and where wasn\u2019t. Fortunately, I learned that Taiwan is very safe.\n\nSince coming to Taiwan, I have yet to have seen violent crime on the surface of society. What I mean by that is, of course there are issues of crime, but I sense that in Taiwan, it does not boil over into plain sight, unlike in many Western countries. I get the feeling that if someone did try and mug me in Taiwan they would say sorry to me (\u6b79\u52e2) for giving me an inconvenience and compliment me on my Mandarin(\u4f60\u7684\u570b\u8a9e\u5f88\u597d).

The buses can get particularly busy during rush hour.\n\nAirport Transfer\n\nSao Paulo has two main airports, Sao Paulo\u2013Guarulhos International Airport ( GRU) for international flights and a national hub, and Congonhas-S\u00e3o Paulo Airport (CGH) for domestic and regional flights.\n\nSao Paulo Guarulhos International, also known as \"Cumbica\" is 25 kilometres \u00a0(16 miles) north east of the city centre in the neighbouring city of Guarulhos.\n\nThe Airport Bus Service is a bus service from the Government of S\u00e3o Paulo and runs to the centre. You can buy your ticket on exiting the airport outside and just wait for the next bus to arrive. \u00a0The journey time all depends on the traffic but typically takes about ninety minutes.\n\nThe cheapest option if you have time is to take the bus number 257 Tatuap\u00e9 metro station and then take the metro to anywhere in S\u00e3o Paulo.\n\nTaxi are available at Guarulhos airport outside the terminal where you tell them your destination address and they will confirm the fare which you prepay and they will give you a ticket and the taxi should arrive within a few minutes. Due to the weakness of the Brazilian currency taxis are much cheaper for foreigners than in the past.\n\nPlaces to stay\n\nBrazil is a relatively open minded country and therefore there are a number of gay friendly bed and breakfasts, boutique hotels and guest houses where you will be welcome. All places to stay bookable on this site you are assured are gay friendly and you will be welcome.\n\nThere are places to stay which are sex hotels or motels and rented by the hour so not be confused with places to stay overnight.\n\n\nMany of Sao Paulo's tourist attractions are in different area of the city so you'll find the Metro a good way to travel between them.\n\nThe Sao Paulo Museum of Art, known locally as MASP opened in 1968 but has the most representative and comprehensive collection of western art in Latin America. You'll see works by Impressionists and modern masters - Renoir, Van Gogh, Matisse, Manet, Debret, Picasso, Mir\u00f3, along with 73 works of bronze sculpture by Degas alone.\n\nIbirapuera Park was laid out by landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, with buildings designed by Oscar Niemeyer. The immense green space with its monuments, museums, playgrounds, gardens, trails, lakes, and performance spaces is a leisure paradise for the people of Sao Paulo.\n\nThe Museu de Arte Contempor\u00e2nea (Contemporary Art Museum) is inside Parque Ibirapuera. This museum was completed in 1957 and houses the excellent Museum of Contemporary Art with more than 8,000 pieces and Latin America's largest collections of 20th-century Western art.\n\nS\u00e9 (Cathedral) is a neo-Gothic cathedral was built on the site of an earlier cathedral and took from 1913 to 1967 to complete. Its building was interrupted by two world wars. It was consecrated in 1954, on the 400th anniversary of the foundation of S\u00e3o Paulo.\n\nMosteiro de S\u00e3o Bento (Benedictine Monastery). This Benedictine monastery and its church were founded in the late 16th century, but the current church dates only from 1910-22. There is an active brotherhood of monks whom manage the monastery. Stop in the monastery shop to buy cakes, breads, and chocolates made by the brothers.\n\nPaulista Avenue is the main avenue in centre of the Jardim area of the city and around this area the richer gay community hang out and live.\n\nBars, Clubs & Parties\n\nThe majority of bars, cafes and restaurants in Sao Paulo are in two different area of the city.\n\nAround the Consolacao \\ Rua Frei Caneca area you will find one are of the city popular with the gay community. Many people refer to this area as Gay Caneca. There is a very cruisy shopping centre selling lots of men\u2019s clothing. Along Frei Caneca and the surrounding street are lots of bars, cafes and restaurant popular with the gay community living in this part of the city.\n\nNightlife in Frei Caneca is in the\u00a0local bars which are gay or gay friendly for guys to hang out drink beer and cocktails inside the bars on outside on the terraces or open air standing on pavement.\n\nThe second area of the city is downtown Largo do Arouche / Centro. This area was the main gay area from many years back. Largo do Arouche is dirty, a bit dangerous, but never boring. This \u201cgayborhood\u201d flourishes as a home for bears, cubs, daddies, lesbians, twinks and transsexuals all together. The bars and clubs in Largo do Arouche are all about having a cheap good night out. Most of the party is actually in the middle of the street on Avenida de Carvalho in front of the most popular bars. Fun to see another side of the city\u2019s gay community,\n\nThe Week is the biggest gay club in Sao Paulo. The Week brings you a clubs with go go boys, models, muscles and good music from great DJs. Open late until early hours of next day so go after 1 am. Address Rua Guaicurus 324.\n\nCafes & Restaurants\n\nSao Paulo due to cosmopolitan nature of the city has a lot of choice for places to eat and types of food. Brazilian BBQ is popular with meat eaters and just steak with rice and beans very popular with the locals.\n\nJust search with your eyes when looking for somewhere to eat to see what other customers are being service and how cute the other customers or waiters are.\n\n\nIn Brazil prostitution is not illegal so you find some saunas are frequented with escort guys.\n\n380 is a bar which hosts sex parties. There are two bars, dance floors, darkrooms and even showers for when it\u2019s time to go home.\u00a0 Address Rua \u00c1lvaro de Carvalho, 380\n\nBlackout Club is a downtown sex club that attract locals and tourists into its darkened maze of gloryholes, slings, and cabins.\u00a0 Address Largo Arouche, 205\n\nChilli Pepper is a 24 hour hotels and sauna combined in the down town area. The Chilli Pepper attracts a mixed crowd. Address Largo do Arouche, 610\n\nLabirinttu\u2019s Club is located in the heart of Consolacao which promotes itself as \u201cmore than a sauna.\u201d With a full", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 181726, "pt_loc": 37888208, "pt_shuffle_idx": 242814015, "doc_index_f": 380610185, "doc_index_l": 380610186, "offset_f": 286, "offset_l": 1844, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 22, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [204, 1845]} -{"pt_doc": "Question: How do I write my friend a message on the sidewalk outside of his house?\nAnswer: use a piece of white chalk to write the message so it won't be permanent.<|endoftext|> named the wrong processor!

Would it be possible to have even more fun? Why, yes it would! My previous NES related exploit suffered from multiple fun-limiting issues:\n\n \u2022 Although it was a genuine 0day exploit, it only affected very old Linux distributions. Something affecting bang up to date Linux installs would generate greater lulz.\n \u2022 The vulnerability that was abused -- a total lack of bounds checking on memory bank mapping -- was somewhat obvious. More fun can often be had with vulnerabilities that are slightly more subtle.\n \u2022 The lack of \u201csuper\u201d! The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) is even more iconic than the original NES. Regarding its 1990 release, Wikipedia notes \u201cthe resulting social disturbance led the Japanese government to ask video game manufacturers to schedule future console releases on weekends\u201d. So we need more Super.\n\nResolving all the above, I present here a full, working, reliable, 0day exploit for current Linux distributions (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Fedora 25). It\u2019s a full drive-by download in the context of Fedora. It abuses cascading subtle side effects of an emulation misstep that at first appears extremely difficult to exploit but ends up presenting beautiful and 100% reliable exploitation possibilities.\n\nYou\u2019ve likely guessed it by now, but the Linux gstreamer media playback framework supports playback of SNES music files by\u2026. emulating the SNES CPU and audio processor, courtesy of Game Music Emu. How cool is that?\n\nDemo and impact\nToday, the demos are videos instead of images. This first video shows a full, reliable drive-by download against Fedora 25 + Google Chrome. The strong reliability of this exploit makes it work inside Fedora\u2019s tracker-extract process, which has highly variable heap state that has frustrated my other exploit attempts. Finally, decent exploit proof of my earlier suspicion that tracker + Google Chrome is very dangerous:\n\nExploit file: gnome_calc_fedora_25_libc_2.24-3.spc (rename it to .flac to get it to work as in the video).\n\nAnd this second video shows a couple of different exploitation contexts in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, using the same exploit file for each. Again, this is showcasing the reliability that the underlying vulnerability permits. The different exploited processes (gnome-video-thumbnailer and totem) have very different heap and threading setups:\n\nExploit file: xcalc_ubuntu_16.04_libc_2.23-0ubuntu3.spc (rename it to .mp3 to get it to work as in the video).\n\nImpact is mixed. On Ubuntu, the faulty code is installed and on the attack surface by default, if you select the \u201cmp3\u201d option during install -- which I certainly always do. On Fedora, there\u2019s a very sensible decision to split gstreamer1-plugins-bad into multiple packages, with only gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free installed by default. This limits the attack surface and does not include Game Music Emu. Of course, the gstreamer framework will happily offer to install gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-extras, with a very nice UI, if the victim simply tries to open the relevant media file.\n\nAs always, the general lack of sandboxing here contributes to the severity. I think we inhabit a world where media parsing sandboxes should be mandatory these days. There\u2019s hope: some of my other recent disclosures appear to have motivated a sandbox for Gnome\u2019s tracker.\n\nIntroducing Blargg!\nA Blargg, in Super Mario World, is a monster that lives in lava. It is also the nickname or handle of the original author of Game Music Emulator, and the handle appears in various macros, e.g.\n\n\nI think this is a wonderful sounding word. In fact it sounds like a Terry Pratchett-esque expletive. Instead of presenting the exploit as a magically working thing, we\u2019ll cover a little of the journey towards the final payloads. On this journey, we\u2019ll make mistakes, and crash into nasty dead ends after following promising leads. Exploits do not magically appear; there is often a lot of undocumented sweat behind them. To deal with these frustrations, we\u2019ll need a suitable expletive. To honor Terry, blarrrgggg!! it is.\n\nTwo vulnerabilities\nAt least two vulnerabilities exist in the core emulation logic of the Ricoh 5A22 processor, which is mostly in Spc_Cpu.h.\nThe Ricoh 5A22 processor instruction set will look immediately familiar to those who have coded a little bit of 6502 assembly. The 5A22 is based on a 65C816 processor, which is itself based on the 6502. So you\u2019re still looking at a 64kB address space, three main 8-bit registers (A, X and Y), etc. But there are also some new instructions that can affect 16 bits of data, or multiple registers at once (oh the luxury)! There are even instructions to directly perform multiplication and even division.\n\n1: Missing X register value clamp for the MOV (X)+,A instruction\nThis is one of the new, better-than-6502 instructions. It does two things with the single opcode 0xAF: write the value of the A register to the memory location indicated by the X register, and then increment this X register. The code is simple enough, from Spc_Cpu.h:\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0case 0xAF: // MOV (X)+,A\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0WRITE_DP( 0, x, a + no_read_before_write \u00a0);\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0goto loop;\n\nAnd contrast this with the code for the similar opcode 0xBF, which does a read instead of a write:\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0case 0xBF:{// MOV A,(X)+\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0int temp = x + dp;\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0x = (uint8_t) (x + 1);\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0a = nz = READ( -1, temp );\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0goto loop;\n\nAs can be seen, it is normal to clamp the value of the X register to an 8-bit unsigned value, after modifying it in some way. Curiously, the 0xAF opcode appears to be the only place this is missed.\n\nThis lack of clamping wouldn\u2019t be a problem, but for the fact that the X register is not defined as a uint8_t on the local stack frame:\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0int x = m.cpu_regs.x;\n\n(Various references in the code suggest that this might be for performance because even Intel is slower for non-machine-word-width instructions. Thanks, Intel, I guess?)\n\nAt first glance, this appears to be a readily exploitable bug, then. Just hammer out a bunch of 0xAF opcodes in a row and eventually the X register will become so large that the write to the memory location referred to by X will be out of bounds. If only it were that simple. We\u2019ll revisit this in the next section.\n\n2: Missing SP register value clamp for the RET1 instruction\nThis is another new instruction that does a couple of things: first it restores the flags register from the stack and then restores the instruction pointer from the stack, like this:\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0case 0x7F: // RET1\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0temp = *sp;\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0SET_PC( GET_LE16( sp + 1 ) );\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0sp += 3;\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0goto set_psw;\n\nAgain, this code is curious because it appears to be the only modification of the SP register that does not implement appropriate clamping. The SP register is supposed to range from 0x00 to 0xff, representing \u201cnext push\u201d stack pointer positions of virtual memory addresses 0x100 - 0x1ff. The sp local variable actually maintains the stack pointer as a raw host heap uint8_t* pointer. So by setting SP to 0xff and then issuing opcode 0x7F, we end up with an effective SP register value of 0x102. Furthermore, once you\u2019ve over-incremented the SP register, further stack pushes and pops do not get stopped. The code only checks for the exact SP wrap around boundary values, for example for a PUSH:\n\n#define PUSH( data )\\\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0*--sp = (uint8_t) (data);\\\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0if ( sp - ram == 0x100 )\\\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0sp += 0x100;\\\n\nSo we can also envisage that this is a very exploitable bug: use RET1 to get the stack pointer out of bounds; then use POPs to increment the stack pointer until it gets somewhere interesting in the host heap -- using the POPped stack values to leak host heap pointers etc.; then use PUSH", "base_doc": " named the wrong processor! The actual emulated processor where the fault lies is the Sony SPC700, not the Ricoh 5A22. Whoops. The SPC700 is exclusively an audio co-processor.

We\u2019ll revisit this in the next section.\n\n2: Missing SP register value clamp for the RET1 instruction\nThis is another new instruction that does a couple of things: first it restores the flags register from the stack and then restores the instruction pointer from the stack, like this:\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0case 0x7F: // RET1\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0temp = *sp;\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0SET_PC( GET_LE16( sp + 1 ) );\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0sp += 3;\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0goto set_psw;\n\nAgain, this code is curious because it appears to be the only modification of the SP register that does not implement appropriate clamping. The SP register is supposed to range from 0x00 to 0xff, representing \u201cnext push\u201d stack pointer positions of virtual memory addresses 0x100 - 0x1ff. The sp local variable actually maintains the stack pointer as a raw host heap uint8_t* pointer. So by setting SP to 0xff and then issuing opcode 0x7F, we end up with an effective SP register value of 0x102. Furthermore, once you\u2019ve over-incremented the SP register, further stack pushes and pops do not get stopped. The code only checks for the exact SP wrap around boundary values, for example for a PUSH:\n\n#define PUSH( data )\\\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0*--sp = (uint8_t) (data);\\\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0if ( sp - ram == 0x100 )\\\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0sp += 0x100;\\\n\nSo we can also envisage that this is a very exploitable bug: use RET1 to get the stack pointer out of bounds; then use POPs to increment the stack pointer until it gets somewhere interesting in the host heap -- using the POPped stack values to leak host heap pointers etc.; then use PUSHes to overwrite host heap structures and pointers, perhaps with values calculated from the leaky POPs.\n\nWell, let\u2019s going and see if things end up so simple.

This article .. the peer strategies they learned during training sessions. Many children and adults on the autism spectrum need help in learning how to to practice their social skills with each other and/or typical peers on a regular. Social skills will help your child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) know They can also help with family relationships and give your child a sense of belonging. Social skills training can help your child develop social skills in a structured way. of Relational Skills (PEERS\u00ae) is a social skills program for young children.\n\nToo often, social skill deficits and inappropriate behaviors are incorrectly conceptualized as performance deficits. That is, we tend to assume that when a child does not perform a behavior, it is the result of refusal or lack of motivation.\n\nPeer Models For Children With Autism | Environmental Center\n\nIn other words, we assume that the child who does not initiate interactions with peers has the ability to initiate, but does not want to initiate performance deficit. In many cases, this is a faulty assumption. In my experience, the vast majority of social skill deficits in young children with ASD can be attributed to skill acquisition deficits. That is, children with ASD are not performing socially because they lack the necessary skills to perform socially\u2014not because they do not want to be social or refuse to be social.\n\nIf we want young children to be successful socially, then we have to TEACH them the skills to be successful! Therefore, it is essential to focus on skill development when implementing social skills instruction. Most intervention strategies are better suited for either skill acquisition or performance deficits. The intervention selected should match the type of deficit present.\n\nThat is, you would not want to deliver an intervention designed for a performance deficit, if the child was mainly experiencing a skill acquisition deficit. For instance, in the example above, if Tommy has not mastered the skill of hitting skill acquisition deficitall the reinforcement in the world including pizza! If we want him to be a skilled hitter, we need to provide Tommy additional instruction on the mechanics of hitting a baseball.\n\nThe same is true for social skills. If we want a child to be socially fluent, then we need to deliver effective social skills instruction. Once a thorough social skill assessment is completed and the team is able to attribute the social difficulties to either skill acquisition or performance deficits, social skills instruction is ready to begin. There are a variety of strategies that can be delivered to young children with ASD.\n\nThe most important thing is that the strategies being delivered are appropriate to the unique needs of the child and that a logical rationale can be provided for using the intervention.\n\nThe following strategies provide a sampling of techniques that can be implemented to teach successful social interaction skills to children and adolescents with ASD.\n\nOther than peer mediated interventions PMIthe strategies listed below are designed to address skill acquisition deficits. However, some of the strategies in particular, video self-modeling and social stories work equally well in addressing performance deficits. In addition, it is imperative that the child be reinforced continually for his effort and participation in the program. Selecting Intervention Strategies Accommodation and Assimilation When selecting intervention strategies, it is important to consider the notion of accommodation versus assimilation.\n\nAccommodation, as it relates to social skills instruction, refers to the act of modifying the physical or social environment of the child to promote positive social interactions. Examples of this include: Whereas accommodation addresses changes in the environment, assimilation focuses on changes in the child.\n\nAssimilation refers to instruction that facilitates skill development that allows the child to be more successful in social interactions. The key to a successful social skills training program is to address both accommodation and assimilation. Focusing on one and not the other sets the child up for failure.\n\nFor instance, one family that I worked with did a wonderful job of structuring playgroups for their child, and", "base_doc": ", our defense could play pretty well. That would help us. They have an incredible football team. The fact that they've been so consistent and so on top of this, we really talk about how close they were to being undefeated this year. That's because of their tremendous strengths and the well-rounded football team that they are. I wish I had the altitude when our kickers were kicking. We'd kick it a little farther, and it would go a little truer. We'd like that. We would be wrong not to recognize what a tremendous football season (Denver) has had and the team they've had.\n\n\"We just like the results of winning, and they're truly a winning football team and a winning program.

This article .. the peer strategies they learned during training sessions. Many children and adults on the autism spectrum need help in learning how to to practice their social skills with each other and/or typical peers on a regular. Social skills will help your child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) know They can also help with family relationships and give your child a sense of belonging. Social skills training can help your child develop social skills in a structured way. of Relational Skills (PEERS\u00ae) is a social skills program for young children.\n\nToo often, social skill deficits and inappropriate behaviors are incorrectly conceptualized as performance deficits. That is, we tend to assume that when a child does not perform a behavior, it is the result of refusal or lack of motivation.\n\nPeer Models For Children With Autism | Environmental Center\n\nIn other words, we assume that the child who does not initiate interactions with peers has the ability to initiate, but does not want to initiate performance deficit. In many cases, this is a faulty assumption. In my experience, the vast majority of social skill deficits in young children with ASD can be attributed to skill acquisition deficits. That is, children with ASD are not performing socially because they lack the necessary skills to perform socially\u2014not because they do not want to be social or refuse to be social.\n\nIf we want young children to be successful socially, then we have to TEACH them the skills to be successful! Therefore, it is essential to focus on skill development when implementing social skills instruction. Most intervention strategies are better suited for either skill acquisition or performance deficits. The intervention selected should match the type of deficit present.\n\nThat is, you would not want to deliver an intervention designed for a performance deficit, if the child was mainly experiencing a skill acquisition deficit. For instance, in the example above, if Tommy has not mastered the skill of hitting skill acquisition deficitall the reinforcement in the world including pizza! If we want him to be a skilled hitter, we need to provide Tommy additional instruction on the mechanics of hitting a baseball.\n\nThe same is true for social skills. If we want a child to be socially fluent, then we need to deliver effective social skills instruction. Once a thorough social skill assessment is completed and the team is able to attribute the social difficulties to either skill acquisition or performance deficits, social skills instruction is ready to begin. There are a variety of strategies that can be delivered to young children with ASD.\n\nThe most important thing is that the strategies being delivered are appropriate to the unique needs of the child and that a logical rationale can be provided for using the intervention.\n\nThe following strategies provide a sampling of techniques that can be implemented to teach successful social interaction skills to children and adolescents with ASD.\n\nOther than peer mediated interventions PMIthe strategies listed below are designed to address skill acquisition deficits. However, some of the strategies in particular, video self-modeling and social stories work equally well in addressing performance deficits. In addition, it is imperative that the child be reinforced continually for his effort and participation in the program. Selecting Intervention Strategies Accommodation and Assimilation When selecting intervention strategies, it is important to consider the notion of accommodation versus assimilation.\n\nAccommodation, as it relates to social skills instruction, refers to the act of modifying the physical or social environment of the child to promote positive social interactions. Examples of this include: Whereas accommodation addresses changes in the environment, assimilation focuses on changes in the child.\n\nAssimilation refers to instruction that facilitates skill development that allows the child to be more successful in social interactions. The key to a successful social skills training program is to address both accommodation and assimilation. Focusing on one and not the other sets the child up for failure.\n\nFor instance, one family that I worked with did a wonderful job of structuring playgroups for their child, and keeping their child active in social activities.\n\nHowever, they were becoming increasingly frustrated with the fact that their son", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 186634, "pt_loc": 44155329, "pt_shuffle_idx": 70983737, "doc_index_f": 111281687, "doc_index_l": 111281690, "offset_f": 488, "offset_l": 872, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 47, "pt_injection_len": 70, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [187, 277, 712, 873]} -{"pt_doc": "Question: Flatten slab of dough.\nAnswer: Use tall alcohol bottle to roll dough.<|endoftext|> Systems Engineer\n\nWith a passion and curiosity for start-ups, Smit ended up joining Silverwing to work towards a more sustainable Earth.

(Or else there were only 35 engines in this lot, which would go far to explain the AVG's inability to account for all the spares.)\n\n Back to top\n\n Poland's Daughter\n\n Why isn't Colonel Scott on the AVG roster?\n\n Robert Lee Scott Jr. was an U.S. Army colonel and bomber pilot when he reached India in the spring of 1942, though like most military pilots his first love had been fighters. He first met the Flying Tigers at Loiwing, China, as co-pilot on a C-47 cargo plane carrying supplies for the AVG and two Ryan trainers for the Chinese Air Force. He arrived in the middle of a Japanese fighter sweep, and Chennault told him to clear the field. \"I'd have given anything,\" Scott wrote long after, \"to trade my colonel's eagles and that 'delivery wagon' that I flew for the gold bars of a second Lieutenant and one of those shark-nosed pieces of dynamite!\"\n\n He got half his wish when Chennault loaned him one of the Curtiss P-40E \"Kittyhawks\" being ferried in from Africa. This he used for free-lance missions over Burma, and for the escort duty for which it had been diverted. In time, Chennault began to consider him for the command of the 23rd Fighter Group that would replace the AVG when it was disbanded in July 1942, and Scott actually went on a mission with the AVG into Vietnam--a U.S. Army colonel flying as wingman to Lew Bishop, who depending on how you defined his status was either a civilian or an officer in the Chinese Air Force!\n\n On July 4, Colonel Scott took command of the 23rd FG headquarters and the remnants of the AVG 3rd Squadron (now the U.S. Army 74th Fighter Squadron) at Kunming, while Robert Neale commanded a mixed band of AVG holdovers and U.S. Army pilots at Guilin. Not until July 17 was the transition complete: Neale set out for home, like most of the AVG pilots and ground crews before him, and Scott flew down to Guilin and took working command of the 23rd Fighter Group.\n\n The Army pilots who replaced the AVG in China continued to call themselves Flying Tigers, and by virtue of living long and writing prolifically, Scott eventually succeeded in making himself as famous as Chennault. But he was never a member of the American Volunteer Group.\n\n Back to top\n\n Were 14th Air Force men Flying Tigers, too?\n\n 14th AF tunic with Flying Tigers patchCertainly. Chennault always referred to the China Air Task Force and the 14th Air Force as his \"Flying Tigers.\" The men called themselves Tigers, and so did journalists like Teddy White who covered their activities. (See, for example, the USAAF film China Crisis, released in 1945.) The Library of Congress has a subject-heading for 14th Air Force Association (U.S.). Flying Tigers.

Located within a large, mildly creepy dome, a select group of on-lookers were presented with a demo, hilariously talked over by Mikey Neumann (Creative Director at 2K). In the demo, we got to see some of the new additions to the franchise as well as an overview of what the story will be in this forthcoming silly adventure. One of the larger changes from past Borderlands is that 2K Australia will be having a hand in the development process. These Australian chaps have had a hand on every Bioshock games development, so their track record is impressive to say the least.\n\nAnother large change comes in the form of the environment. By that, I mean you are now on the damn moon. As you could expect, with this comes a variety of changes such as gravity being altered. When you jump, you now have an extra few seconds in the air, as well as an opportunity to double jump. Another perk of low gravity is being able to slam back to the ground, which is so elegantly called a \u201cbutt stomp\u201d in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Unfortunately, Neumann did not go into the details of how this is possible, due to a lack of gravity and such, but as I am sure we can all agree, a butt stomp skill is a wonderful feature to have. In typical Borderlands fashion, as you level up you get the chance to make your butt stomp even more butt stompier.\n\n\nOn the moon, oxygen is a very valuable asset. Your main character has an oxygen meter located in the bottom right corner that depletes constantly when roaming about the moon. You do find items that replenish your oxygen, which makes scavenging for materials even more important. While having an oxygen meter is something that logically makes sense, it\u2019s hard not to imagine it eventually proving to be some kind of annoyance. Then again, watching an enemy explode into the air and hilariously float into nothingness may make that trade-off fair.\n\nA key part of every Borderlands game is what character you play as, even though the overarching story has never been too impressive. The character set in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel holds more than a few familiar faces as it consists of Athena (General Knoxx DLC), Wilhelm (Borderlands 2), Nisha (sheriff from Borderlands 2), and one that everyone knows, Claptrap. Sadly, we only saw Claptrap for around five seconds during the demo given as the main two we saw were Wilhelm and Athena. The story will tell the backstory of Wilhelm and how he turned into the boss you face in Borderlands 2. Interestingly enough, you are also working for Handsome Jack. Because of this, you will see his rise to where you see him in previous games.\n\n\nThe biggest bullet point of the first Borderlands was its ungodly amount of weapons you had at your disposal. That number will only increase as 2K Australia came in and added an ice gun weapon type to the mix. According to Neumann, Gearbox had been wanting to add an ice gun to the game since the first Borderlands, but could never figure out how to integrate it properly. Then when they gave the idea to 2K Australia, they figured it out within an hour. Also available will be \u201clots of lasers\u201d and a power that lets you reflect ammo being fired at you, though if that is an Athena-specific ability is a bit unclear.\n\nArguably the most important thing that Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is retaining is its beloved sense of humor. This was shown off when Neumann highlighted the fact that every person on the moon is Australian. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is shaping up to be more than just a cash-grab installment in the popular franchise. It possesses a full story and multiple new features that will only grow as we get closer to the games fall release date. If you are a fan of the Borderlands franchise, keep your eyes on Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel as it will be available for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.<|endoftext|>Monday, July 11, 2011\n\nWhere Did I Leave My Glasses?\n\nSince turning 40 a year ago, I have noticed a sharp decline in my visual abilities. After a life of perfect vision, I am continually surprised that I cannot see the eye of a needle, the details of my husband's face when we kiss, and my armpits when I try to shave them in the shower. It is a", "base_doc": " engines were on hand in Buffalo when the Tomahawks were crated and shipped to New Jersey. Like the airframes, they bore random serial numbers, fairly low in sequence--three known AVG Allison serial numbers are 899, 963, and 964. By contrast, the hand-built spares bore serials from 2998 to 3032 and perhaps above. (Or else there were only 35 engines in this lot, which would go far to explain the AVG's inability to account for all the spares.)\n\n Back to top\n\n Poland's Daughter\n\n Why isn't Colonel Scott on the AVG roster?\n\n Robert Lee Scott Jr. was an U.S. Army colonel and bomber pilot when he reached India in the spring of 1942, though like most military pilots his first love had been fighters. He first met the Flying Tigers at Loiwing, China, as co-pilot on a C-47 cargo plane carrying supplies for the AVG and two Ryan trainers for the Chinese Air Force. He arrived in the middle of a Japanese fighter sweep, and Chennault told him to clear the field. \"I'd have given anything,\" Scott wrote long after, \"to trade my colonel's eagles and that 'delivery wagon' that I flew for the gold bars of a second Lieutenant and one of those shark-nosed pieces of dynamite!\"\n\n He got half his wish when Chennault loaned him one of the Curtiss P-40E \"Kittyhawks\" being ferried in from Africa. This he used for free-lance missions over Burma, and for the escort duty for which it had been diverted. In time, Chennault began to consider him for the command of the 23rd Fighter Group that would replace the AVG when it was disbanded in July 1942, and Scott actually went on a mission with the AVG into Vietnam--a U.S. Army colonel flying as wingman to Lew Bishop, who depending on how you defined his status was either a civilian or an officer in the Chinese Air Force!\n\n On July 4, Colonel Scott took command of the 23rd FG headquarters and the remnants of the AVG 3rd Squadron (now the U.S. Army 74th Fighter Squadron) at Kunming, while Robert Neale commanded a mixed band of AVG holdovers and U.S. Army pilots at Guilin. Not until July 17 was the transition complete: Neale set out for home, like most of the AVG pilots and ground crews before him, and Scott flew down to Guilin and took working command of the 23rd Fighter Group.\n\n The Army pilots who replaced the AVG in China continued to call themselves Flying Tigers, and by virtue of living long and writing prolifically, Scott eventually succeeded in making himself as famous as Chennault. But he was never a member of the American Volunteer Group.\n\n Back to top\n\n Were 14th Air Force men Flying Tigers, too?\n\n 14th AF tunic with Flying Tigers patchCertainly. Chennault always referred to the China Air Task Force and the 14th Air Force as his \"Flying Tigers.\" The men called themselves Tigers, and so did journalists like Teddy White who covered their activities. (See, for example, the USAAF film China Crisis, released in 1945.) The Library of Congress has a subject-heading for 14th Air Force Association (U.S.). Flying Tigers. The Walt Disney studio turned out Flying Tiger shoulder patches for the CATF and the 14th AF, as it did for the American Volunteer Group. And here's the tunic worn by a 14th AF enlisted man, N.H.

I promise, this won\u2019t be burdensome!\u201d \u201cWell\u2026 alright. Will it take long?\u201d Not at all, Nemo replied, as he turned to face the wind. Cloud Nine was by this point passing the terminator line, that sweeping longitude line that demarcates light from day, bright from dark, cold from warm, possible to known. \u201cYou know Meno, once I wrote a poem on dawn and dusk. In this cold swift wind it seems a little inappropriate, but there is no time like now. It was not well received- nothing that truly was of me ever was. They complained that it lacked meter and rhyme, imagery, anything that really made it a poem. But it went a little like this:\u201dAnd in the darkness I see colors. Not for me is that harsh light cast by the lamp Nor either the pulsing of the yellow Sun on the inside of an eyelid That sooths the tired eye. I dream in sparkles, wild loops, chaotic clumps of quavering colors And spratched negative space, with hues undreamt of by light. At night, in the pitch black comforting dark I can with eyes wide shut a seething multitude of things come In glory outlined against the fuligin of night, the color darker than black. If you like your dreams fixed and dry Platonic ideals, bland food, boring ideas, Absolute space, Absolute time Then by all means. Keep the night-light on.\" \u201cI can see why they wouldn\u2019t like it. Not bad though. Quite a challenge.\u201d \u201cI thought you would. That\u2019s why I dredged it out of my past. But that isn\u2019t why I called you over. Keep watching.\u201d\n\nThe two stood on the platform, raised high above the low level sands which stretched far away as the eye could see, even to a low hill range on the horizon that was surrounded with a penumbra of dust and obscuration.

(Well, can you name a single successful RPG with a two-colour cover? No, neither can I.) If you really can't afford full-colour, go for black, red and white - take a look at the STOCs books produced by Wasteland Games for an example of this done well. A lot of distributors won't even look at a publication that doesn't have a full-colour cover. 4. Printers Get as many printing quotes as you can, and always ask to see examples of the company's previous work. Be aware that printing prices in the UK are high; if you're ambitious, check out printers in Spain and Italy. Or do what Hogshead does: use a printer in America, to be closer to the biggest RPG market in the world. It's cheaper, and means you can write off trips to the USA as a business expense. 5. Warehousing and shipping Don't leave these out of your calculations - and if you're doing a large print run and are planning to store the books at home, you'd better have a huge garage. Books are bulky and heavy. And remember that you may be shipping them all over the world, so make plans for that. A hint: American distributors hate importing material from Europe, but European distributors don't mind importing stuff from the USA. 6. Distribution Get in touch with games distributors at least four months before your game is due to come out. Talk to them about discounts and delivery dates, who pays shipping costs, promotional budgets, how you can help them and they can help you. Distributors will typically expect to pay about 40% of the cover price of the game. 7. Europe and America The UK games market is piddly in comparison with the two big markets: Europe and the USA - so piddly that if your business plan is based only on sales in the UK, you will go bust. We say that with total certainly. You should be thinking about how you're going to sell your game in Europe and America from Day One of planning. 8. Publicity and Support How are you going to let people know about your products? Advertisements? Press releases? WWW pages? Publicity leaflets or posters sent out to retailers? Attending conventions? Attending trade shows? Catalogues? The RPG market depends a lot on impulse purchases, but people like to be aware of a product's existence before they buy it. Have you got your release schedule mapped out? Can you be sure you can keep to it? Distributors, retailers and fans like to know that a game will be properly supported before they plonk down their cash for it. There are a gazillion other tiny fiddly little points, such as acquiring ISBN numbers, getting listed in Books In Print and so on. To find out more about them, buy copies of 'The Small Press Yearbook' (published by the Small Press Group) and 'Writers and Artists Yearbook' (published by A.C.Black), which will fill a lot of the gaps in your knowledge. Also: contact James Wallis , or any of the other British games companies. Almost everyone in the biz will be happy to give support and advice to new publishers. They all started out somewhere, and if they can help you avoid making the same mistakes they did, so much the better. Another young games company going bankrupt doesn't help anybody.<|endoftext|>Question: To naturally soften clothes in the washer,\nAnswer: mix a bit of vinegar during the rinse cycle.<|endoftext|>4 Reasons Why \u2018Ghost Ship\u2019 Is Still A Classic.\n\nSpread the word!\n\nGhost Ship is a nautical horror film directed by Steve Beck, who you might also know from his directorial debut Thir13en Ghosts. It features a pretty stellar cast as well, including the likes of Karl Urban, a young Emily Browning, Gabriel Byrne and Isaiah Washington.\n\nThe film is set on the spooky wreckage of the infamous \u2018Antonia Graza\u2019 which disappeared suddenly under mysterious circumstances back in 1962. A ragtag salvage operations team stumble upon the Antonia Graza and think that they have struck gold, but they soon find out that the ship itself holds something a lot more sinister than just treasure and the payday of a lifetime.\n\nEven though Ghost Ship currently holds a 13% average score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, the picture is still widely regarded by a lot of horror fans as a timeless watch, and here\u2019s why.\n\n1. The Opening Scene Is Still Talked About\n\nWith its cheery title cards and party atmosphere, the film tries to trick you into thinking you didn\u2019t just walk into a horror film, shortly before it sets the tone for the rest of the movie. The visual effects are widely considered to stand up to this day, pun very much intended.\n\n2. It Carries Out The Haunted Theme Extremely Well\n\nThe sense of isolation combined with the ever-present threat of the ship itself makes for an incredibly tense viewing often butchered by others trying to capture the haunted horror essence.\n\n3. The Set Design Was Great\n\nNot a lot of credit is given to how the production team behind Ghost Ship was able to make the film feel like it was taking place on a sprawling ship whilst also making it feel incredibly claustrophobic. The atmosphere of Ghost Ship kept audiences on the edge of their seats by portraying death and decay down every tiny corridor.\n\n4. You Know Exactly What You\u2019re Getting\n\nWith a title like Ghost Ship, you can hardly expect anything else when you start your viewing. This fact that the Dark Castle production team were behind the creation of Ghost Ship doubled down on the fact that it was pretty much telegraphed that you were in for a no-frills horror journey. Dark Castle went on to produce hits such as The Orphan and Splice.\n\nSpread the word!<|endoftext|>Pro and Cons of Having a Marketing Company For Your Business\n\n\n-Marketing companies provide a range of services in addition to lead generation, such as campaign development and management, SEO optimization for websites, social media marketing campaigns.\n\nPros and Cons of Hiring a Marketing Company for Kitchen Remodelling Leads Business\n\n-Marketing agencies have ready access to analytics data and the expertise on how best to use it. This means they can better measure ROI from their efforts which is important when there are limited funds available for advertising or other promotional work. Reviewing stats will also help them identify where your business appears online so that you don\u2019t pay to advertise with networks like Facebook if your target audience isn\u2019t using Facebook at all but is instead heavily active on Instagram.\n\n\n-Hiring an agency incurs higher costs than many small businesses owners would be willing to invest in.\n\n-Marketing agencies are often not experts at the intricacies of your business, meaning you have little control over how they run things and what data is collected by them about your customers and their habits.\n\nConclusion: Marketing companies provide a range of services that can be helpful for small businesses owners who need more than just lead generation but don\u2019t want to manage all aspects of marketing themselves or outsource it completely. The agency will take care of campaign development, management and analytics without any input from the entrepreneur which frees up time for other tasks while providing assurance that ROI is being monitored against budgeted timelines.\u201d<|endoftext|>Samsung SATA 120 GB Hard Drive\n\n@ 2005/04/01\nOf course, everyone knows that a hard drive is very important when you want\nto store lots of data.

(Well, can you name a single successful RPG with a two-colour cover? No, neither can I.) If you really can't afford full-colour, go for black, red and white - take a look at the STOCs books produced by Wasteland Games for an example of this done well. A lot of distributors won't even look at a publication that doesn't have a full-colour cover. 4. Printers Get as many printing quotes as you can, and always ask to see examples of the company's previous work. Be aware that printing prices in the UK are high; if you're ambitious, check out printers in Spain and Italy. Or do what Hogshead does: use a printer in America, to be closer to the biggest RPG market in the world. It's cheaper, and means you can write off trips to the USA as a business expense. 5. Warehousing and shipping Don't leave these out of your calculations - and if you're doing a large print run and are planning to store the books at home, you'd better have a huge garage. Books are bulky and heavy. And remember that you may be shipping them all over the world, so make plans for that. A hint: American distributors hate importing material from Europe, but European distributors don't mind importing stuff from the USA. 6. Distribution Get in touch with games distributors at least four months before your game is due to come out. Talk to them about discounts and delivery dates, who pays shipping costs, promotional budgets, how you can help them and they can help you. Distributors will typically expect to pay about 40% of the cover price of the game. 7. Europe and America The UK games market is piddly in comparison with the two big markets: Europe and the USA - so piddly that if your business plan is based only on sales in the UK, you will go bust. We say that with total certainly. You should be thinking about how you're going to sell your game in Europe and America from Day One of planning. 8. Publicity and Support How are you going to let people know about your products? Advertisements? Press releases? WWW pages? Publicity leaflets or posters sent out to retailers? Attending conventions? Attending trade shows? Catalogues? The RPG market depends a lot on impulse purchases, but people like to be aware of a product's existence before they buy it. Have you got your release schedule mapped out? Can you be sure you can keep to it? Distributors, retailers and fans like to know that a game will be properly supported before they plonk down their cash for it. There are a gazillion other tiny fiddly little points, such as acquiring ISBN numbers, getting listed in Books In Print and so on. To find out more about them, buy copies of 'The Small Press Yearbook' (published by the Small Press Group) and 'Writers and Artists Yearbook' (published by A.C.Black), which will fill a lot of the gaps in your knowledge. Also: contact James Wallis , or any of the other British games companies. Almost everyone in the biz will be happy to give support and advice to new publishers. They all started out somewhere, and if they can help you avoid making the same mistakes they did, so much the better. Another young games company going bankrupt doesn't help anybody.<|endoftext|>4 Reasons Why \u2018Ghost Ship\u2019 Is Still A Classic.\n\nSpread the word!\n\nGhost Ship is a nautical horror film directed by Steve Beck, who you might also know from his directorial debut Thir13en Ghosts. It features a pretty stellar cast as well, including the likes of Karl Urban, a young Emily Browning, Gabriel Byrne and Isaiah Washington.\n\nThe film is set on the spooky wreckage of the infamous \u2018Antonia Graza\u2019 which disappeared suddenly under mysterious circumstances back in 1962. A ragtag salvage operations team stumble upon the Antonia Graza and think that they have struck gold, but they soon find out that the ship itself holds something a lot more sinister than just treasure and the payday of a lifetime.\n\nEven though Ghost Ship currently holds a 13% average score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, the picture is still widely regarded by a lot of horror fans as a timeless watch, and here\u2019s why.\n\n1. The Opening Scene Is Still Talked About\n\nWith its cheery title cards and party atmosphere, the film tries to trick you into thinking you didn\u2019t just walk into a horror film, shortly before it sets the tone for the rest of the movie. The visual effects are widely considered to stand up to this day, pun very much intended.\n\n2. It Carries Out The Haunted Theme Extremely Well\n\nThe sense of isolation combined with the ever-present threat of the ship itself makes for an incredibly tense viewing often butchered by others trying to capture the haunted horror essence.\n\n3. The Set Design Was Great\n\nNot a lot of credit is given to how the production team behind Ghost Ship was able to make the film feel like it was taking place on a sprawling ship whilst also making it feel incredibly claustrophobic. The atmosphere of Ghost Ship kept audiences on the edge of their seats by portraying death and decay down every tiny corridor.\n\n4. You Know Exactly What You\u2019re Getting\n\nWith a title like Ghost Ship, you can hardly expect anything else when you start your viewing. This fact that the Dark Castle production team were behind the creation of Ghost Ship doubled down on the fact that it was pretty much telegraphed that you were in for a no-frills horror journey. Dark Castle went on to produce hits such as The Orphan and Splice.\n\nSpread the word!<|endoftext|>Pro and Cons of Having a Marketing Company For Your Business\n\n\n-Marketing companies provide a range of services in addition to lead generation, such as campaign development and management, SEO optimization for websites, social media marketing campaigns.\n\nPros and Cons of Hiring a Marketing Company for Kitchen Remodelling Leads Business\n\n-Marketing agencies have ready access to analytics data and the expertise on how best to use it. This means they can better measure ROI from their efforts which is important when there are limited funds available for advertising or other promotional work. Reviewing stats will also help them identify where your business appears online so that you don\u2019t pay to advertise with networks like Facebook if your target audience isn\u2019t using Facebook at all but is instead heavily active on Instagram.\n\n\n-Hiring an agency incurs higher costs than many small businesses owners would be willing to invest in.\n\n-Marketing agencies are often not experts at the intricacies of your business, meaning you have little control over how they run things and what data is collected by them about your customers and their habits.\n\nConclusion: Marketing companies provide a range of services that can be helpful for small businesses owners who need more than just lead generation but don\u2019t want to manage all aspects of marketing themselves or outsource it completely. The agency will take care of campaign development, management and analytics without any input from the entrepreneur which frees up time for other tasks while providing assurance that ROI is being monitored against budgeted timelines.\u201d<|endoftext|>Samsung SATA 120 GB Hard Drive\n\n@ 2005/04/01\nOf course, everyone knows that a hard drive is very important when you want\nto store lots of data.

A quick head count along the shelves of the dining-room bookcase realised at least 70 items, ranging from the giants of the genre (Ben Pimlott on Harold Wilson, Susan Crosland's account of her late husband, Tony) to wholly recherche offerings such as Peter Kellner and Christopher Hitchens' instant life of James Callaghan, written to mark his accession to the premiership in 1976. Yet however diverse, this little library, sedulously accumulated over the course of three decades, is beginning to show its age. Most of the books date from the 1980s and 1990s, and 2013 produced only two additions to the catalogue the first volume of Charles Moore's biography of Mrs T and Alan Johnson's memoir of his early life.\n\nThere are several reasons why the art of political biography is in sharp decline. One of them, naturally, is that publishers are less absorbed by a genre whose comparatively high outlay in terms of authors' advances I shudder to contemplate the number of desk-bound years Mr Campbell must have spent on Roy Jenkins could, in the past, have been underwritten by newspaper serialisation deals. But another is that politicians, as a breed, are a much less enticing prospect when placed under the biographer's lens, if only because of the comparatively short time most of them seem to spend in their chosen calling.\n\nThe old-style front-bench politician of the 19th and 20th centuries was usually a man, or very occasionally a woman, who devoted the majority of his adult life to politics. Gladstone, famously, spent nearly seven decades in the House of Commons, starting his career as a Conservative defending his family's interests in the slave trade and ending it as the leader of a radical coalition in whose manoeuvrings one can detect the glimmerings of the welfare state. More recently, Harold Wilson served 38 years in the House of Commons, James Callaghan 42 and Tony Benn more than half a century.\n\nThe modern politician, on the other hand, tends to enter parliament at an absurdly young age and then leave it at a moment when his predecessor would have been barely getting into his, or her, stride. George Orwell remarked sometime in the 1940s that a politician is a baby at 50 and middle-aged at 75, but many a contemporary grandee is shunted off into the margins of political life almost before the nursery gates have opened before him. John Major's career finished when he was 54; Tony Blair stood down from the premiership at 54. Nigel Lawson left the House after a bare 18 years, and it is entirely possible that David Cameron's time in high office will grind to a halt before his 50th birthday, leaving him with another 30 years of active life to pursue.\n\nBut there is more to it than a parliamentary tenure that would strike such behemoths of a bygone generation as Sir Peter Tapsell, now retiring after a House of Commons stint that began as long ago as 1959, or the late S?O Davies, who may well have been as old as 92 when he died in harness in 1972, as indecently short-lived. Another is the fact that to any student of human quiddity the straw from which most biographical bricks are made the specimen modern politician is a much less interesting figure.\n\nA Well-Rounded Life might seem an odd sub-title for the biography of a late-20th-century statesman who will be remembered for his decisive impact on the mores of the 1960s but it is curiously appropriate for a man who also served as Chancellor of Oxford University, President of the Royal Society of Literature and was once awarded a decoration by the President of Senegal largely because of his knowledge of Proust.\n\nAnd if Jenkins was himself a fascinating man, then he operated in an era when politics itself had a fascination which, generally speaking, it does not now possess, when the parliamentary chamber was genuinely adversarial and when the country seemed to be divided on ideological lines rather than being separated into political factions who, notwithstanding degrees of emphasis, believe more or less the same thing.\n\nTo go back to my dining-room bookcase, by far the greatest number of items relate to the 1970s and 1980s a time in our national life when the latest late-night vote by the Labour Party's National Executive Committee or the Union of Wheeltappers and Shunters could seem an event of world-shattering importance.\n\nNaturally, there is nothing that modern politicians can do about this change in historical circumstance, but they might care to reflect that their essential dreariness stems, by and large, from the rise of the career politician that has been such a feature of the last 20 years: the young man or woman interested in nothing but getting a seat in parliament, who studies politics at university and then proceeds by way of a research job and a post as a ministerial aide to a safe seat. Jenkins, of course, was a career politician, as was Anthony Crosland, and Margaret Thatcher, but each of them in their various ways, had a life beyond their professional straitjacket, and one of the things that makes Mrs T interesting as a person and a biographical subject is her ability to remember lines of Larkin's verse when poet and Prime Minister first met.\n\nThere is a wider implication in all this, that goes beyond the somewhat circumscribed world of London SW1. If literary biography, too, is in decline it is because, with certain exceptions, the modern writer merely grows up, studies creative writing, goes on to teach it at a university and writes books, whereas his or her distinguished predecessors travelled, intrigued and had bullets shot through their throats in the Spanish civil war.\n\nMeanwhile, Roy Jenkins: A Well-Rounded Life is shaping up nicely as my Sunday afternoon treat and, judging by its length, for several more Sunday afternoons beyond this.

This was meant to avoid \u201csupervisory failings, [which] have, since the onset of the banking crisis, significantly eroded confidence in the EU banking sector and contributed to an aggravation of tensions in euro area sovereign debt markets\u201d (European Commission 2012). In particular, large multinational banks (MNBs) present in several countries and with a complex network of foreign affiliates pose a particular challenge for bank supervisors divided along national borders. Dexia, for instance, was supervised by the national authorities of Belgium, France, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands, and yet suffered a catastrophic failure leading to a \u20ac6 billion bailout in 2011.\n\nA new supervisory architecture in the Eurozone, the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM), aims at solving such failures by giving supervisory powers to a supranational authority, namely the ECB. As of 2016, the 129 \u201cmost significant entities\u201d are directly supervised by the ECB. The SSM is a major change in the organisation of banking supervision in Europe. It is clear that the banking system itself will not remain indifferent to such a drastic overhaul of the supervisory architecture. This endogenous reaction of supervised banks needs to be taken into account when designing the supervisory framework. Otherwise, banks can react in a way that partially undoes what the supervisory change was trying to achieve.\n\nMNBs\u2019 foreign networks and supervision\n\nThe number and importance of MNBs have both increased significantly over the past two decades, as well as the size and complexity of their networks of foreign affiliates (see Claessens et al. 2014). These banks can adopt one of two main forms for their foreign units in order to be active abroad with full operability: subsidiary or branch.\n\nA foreign subsidiary is an independent legal entity, separate from the parent MNB. It is supervised by the host country\u2019s supervisory authority and its depositors are covered by the host deposit insurance fund. Moreover, in case of default, limited liability protects the parent MNB from covering the subsidiary\u2019s losses.\n\nIn contrast, a foreign branch is not legally distinct from the MNB. It is thus supervised by the home country\u2019s authority and covered by the home country\u2019s deposit insurance. The MNB has to cover losses in the foreign unit \u2013 the branch cannot default without the MNB defaulting.\n\nWhether to operate abroad with a branch or a subsidiary is a strategic decision for a MNB, entailing different costs and benefits in terms of regulation. If the terms of the trade-off change due to a move towards supranational supervision, the MNB can also change the organisation of its foreign network and the representation form of its foreign unit. It may also choose to simply shut down an existing foreign unit, and revert to domestic banking only.\n\nSupranational supervision of an MNB\n\nIn a recent paper, we show that the banking system will react to the new supervisory architecture, possibly by changing the structure of foreign networks of affiliates and in a way that may severely limits the gains from centralising bank supervision (Calzolari et al. 2016).\n\nA specificity of the subsidiary structure is that it subjects the MNB to supervision by different authorities, at least one in the home country and one in the host country. Both authorities may have different objectives. In particular, they are often supposed to protect different deposit insurance funds, which are national. When the host authority monitors the foreign subsidiary, this increases the value of the MNB\u2019s foreign assets, which can compensate potential losses in the home country and thus alleviate the burden on the home deposit insurance fund. In other words, the host supervisor exerts a positive externality on the home supervisor when monitoring the foreign unit. Therefore, monitoring can be sub-optimally low under national supervision.\n\nIn principle, putting a supranational supervisor such as the ECB in charge of both units solves this problem, as the supervisor will internalise the effect of monitoring the foreign unit on the entire MNB. This is a micro-founded example of a \u2018supervisory failing\u2019 that can be solved by supranational supervision.\n\nThe shift to supranational supervision is expected to increase monitoring, which in turn decreases the interest rates that have to be served to the subsidiary\u2019s creditors, and alleviates the burden on the deposit insurance funds of both countries. However, if the MNB reacts by changing its representational form, the unambiguously positive impact of supranational supervision is no longer warranted.\n\nThe strategic reaction of MNBs to the SSM\n\nSupranational supervision makes little difference to branch MNBs and to purely domestic MNBs. Indeed, in both cases, only one supervisor is in charge, and all potential losses accrue to the national deposit insurance fund, so that there is no coordination problem in the first place. Therefore, the more intense monitoring just described for a subsidiary foreign network will reduce the profitability of that type of network relative to alternative forms of organisation. Since a MNB may choose to operate with a subsidiary precisely because it allows exploiting the coordination problem between national supervisors, when supranational supervision removes this friction, the implicit subsidy to the subsidiary structure disappears, and the MNB can find it more profitable to turn the foreign unit into a branch, or to shut it down. We should thus expect that the banking system will endogenously react to supranational supervision by reverting to an organisational form in which supranational supervision is actually less needed.\n\nHowever, this is not the unique change we can expect. When the MNB changes its organisational form from subsidiary to either a branch or to domestic banking, it also shifts the burden of potential losses from the host deposit insurance fund to the home fund. Interestingly, we have shown that such a change happens when the home deposit insurance fund is actually weaker than the host fund. There is thus a risk that in the long run, the SSM may affect the organisation of cross-border banking in a way that also puts a heavy burden on the most strained national deposit insurance schemes.\n\nDoes the Banking Union need additional supervisory tools?\n\nCurrently, a specificity of the current European Banking Union is the lack of overlap between the level at which supervision is organised and the level at which deposit insurance is provided. Establishing a common deposit insurance scheme seems like a natural next step, and this is in fact the third (currently missing) pillar of the Banking Union (the other two being the SSM and a resolution framework with bail-in procedures). Can it also solve the problem we have unveiled above? Actually, we find the opposite \u2013 the higher credibility of the common deposit insurance scheme increases the monitoring incentives of the supranational supervisor, thus heightening the discrepancy between the branch and the subsidiary structures.\n\nA more natural solution would be for the supervisor to put a price on the use of the different legal structures. To the extent that branches and subsidiaries do not give rise to the same level of supervisory monitoring (and hence supervision costs) and to the same (expected) transfers from the deposit insurance fund, both supervisory fees and deposit insurance premia should in principle depend on the structure of the MNB. Indeed, we show that with \u2018representation-form-dependent\u2019 premia, banks can theoretically be given incentives to adopt a preferred representation form. In practice, this requires detailed information on the complex organisational structure of the MNB, but such an effort is necessary to understand and properly price the amount of public money at stake with MNBs.\n\nThe organisation of supervisory authorities has been at the centre of interesting and intense regulatory debates, both in the EU and in the US.

This is a micro-founded example of a \u2018supervisory failing\u2019 that can be solved by supranational supervision.\n\nThe shift to supranational supervision is expected to increase monitoring, which in turn decreases the interest rates that have to be served to the subsidiary\u2019s creditors, and alleviates the burden on the deposit insurance funds of both countries. However, if the MNB reacts by changing its representational form, the unambiguously positive impact of supranational supervision is no longer warranted.\n\nThe strategic reaction of MNBs to the SSM\n\nSupranational supervision makes little difference to branch MNBs and to purely domestic MNBs. Indeed, in both cases, only one supervisor is in charge, and all potential losses accrue to the national deposit insurance fund, so that there is no coordination problem in the first place. Therefore, the more intense monitoring just described for a subsidiary foreign network will reduce the profitability of that type of network relative to alternative forms of organisation. Since a MNB may choose to operate with a subsidiary precisely because it allows exploiting the coordination problem between national supervisors, when supranational supervision removes this friction, the implicit subsidy to the subsidiary structure disappears, and the MNB can find it more profitable to turn the foreign unit into a branch, or to shut it down. We should thus expect that the banking system will endogenously react to supranational supervision by reverting to an organisational form in which supranational supervision is actually less needed.\n\nHowever, this is not the unique change we can expect. When the MNB changes its organisational form from subsidiary to either a branch or to domestic banking, it also shifts the burden of potential losses from the host deposit insurance fund to the home fund. Interestingly, we have shown that such a change happens when the home deposit insurance fund is actually weaker than the host fund. There is thus a risk that in the long run, the SSM may affect the organisation of cross-border banking in a way that also puts a heavy burden on the most strained national deposit insurance schemes.\n\nDoes the Banking Union need additional supervisory tools?\n\nCurrently, a specificity of the current European Banking Union is the lack of overlap between the level at which supervision is organised and the level at which deposit insurance is provided. Establishing a common deposit insurance scheme seems like a natural next step, and this is in fact the third (currently missing) pillar of the Banking Union (the other two being the SSM and a resolution framework with bail-in procedures). Can it also solve the problem we have unveiled above? Actually, we find the opposite \u2013 the higher credibility of the common deposit insurance scheme increases the monitoring incentives of the supranational supervisor, thus heightening the discrepancy between the branch and the subsidiary structures.\n\nA more natural solution would be for the supervisor to put a price on the use of the different legal structures. To the extent that branches and subsidiaries do not give rise to the same level of supervisory monitoring (and hence supervision costs) and to the same (expected) transfers from the deposit insurance fund, both supervisory fees and deposit insurance premia should in principle depend on the structure of the MNB. Indeed, we show that with \u2018representation-form-dependent\u2019 premia, banks can theoretically be given incentives to adopt a preferred representation form. In practice, this requires detailed information on the complex organisational structure of the MNB, but such an effort is necessary to understand and properly price the amount of public money at stake with MNBs.\n\nThe organisation of supervisory authorities has been at the centre of interesting and intense regulatory debates, both in the EU and in the US. The implemented steps, such as the SSM, will face the industry\u2019s reaction to the modified supervisory approach, and academic research should help understand where these", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 199722, "pt_loc": 36115918, "pt_shuffle_idx": 80953211, "doc_index_f": 126903021, "doc_index_l": 126903023, "offset_f": 1963, "offset_l": 1685, "pt_injection_pos": 2, "pt_window_offset": 10, "pt_injection_len": 28, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [227, 136, 1686]} -{"pt_doc": ".

Our best guess is that this was because when she looked in the usual place (just outside Starbucks) I wasn't there yet (delays caused by heaving, see above). So she walked round again, and again she didn't see me. So she phoned me.\n\nI didn't answer the phone. So she phoned me again. Again I didn't answer, she was put straight through to my voicemail. She phone me five times, to no avail, but which time she was getting really angry with me. Then she texted me, I got the text, drove the ten yards to the front of Starbucks, and picked her up, by which time she was incandescent with rage.\n\nI immediately got a major earful. I was roundly castigated for having switched my phone off; I pointed out that it wasn't off, I actually don't know how to switch it off, and anyway I got her text, so it couldn't have been off. She tried phoning me as we drove round the M25, and got the same problem. After we parked, I established that I could phone her, but she couldn't phone me.\n\nWhen we got home that evening, I called Vodafone for tech support. They immediately diagnosed the problem, the phone was on \"unconditional divert\". I'm sure I didn't make that happen, and the sequence that you have to key in is so long and complex, it couldn't have happened by accident. I suspect Vodafone did it, but, oh well, I keyed in ##002# and pressed send, and everything works now. And while I was talking to them, I ordered the micro sim card that I'll need when I inherit ladysolly's phone. They wanted to charge me \u00a32.50 for this, but I pointed out that I'm a \"Valuable Customer\", so they waived it. Useful phrase, that.\n\nSo. Back to the day's disasters ...\n\nStarbucks put the coffee into china mugs, and when ladysolly repeated that this was for take-out, they transferred it into paper cups. But that lost some of the heat. The delay in ladysolly getting to the car made it cool down some more, and you can't stop for coffee on the M25. So by the time we could pull in, it was lukewarm, and that's being generous.\n\nWe found a place to park and have lunch, then went to the parking place for the circuit we planned to do, \"Toot Hill Trivial Pursuit\". We got our kit on, and I started up the GPS ... GPS? Where's the GPS? A substantial hunt revealed the fact that I didn't have the GPS. I had the PDA with mapping and Memory Map, but that's useless without the GPS that it connects to via bluetooth.\n\nIf I'd been in the Freelander, that wouldn't have been a problem; I have a spare GPS (and a spare PDA) in the back. But we were in the Volvo. My iPhone 3GS has always been useless for geocaching, because it takes a couple of minutes to respond to any movement. So I'm 20 yards past the cache and it's still saying it's 40 yards in front of me. Fortunately, Ladysolly has a 4S, and that works for caching, so we decided to use that. And I took my PDA anyway, because although I didn't have GPS function, I could still use it to read the cache pages, because I preload them on the CF card.\n\nAnd off we went.\n\nWe found the first few caches, and then I took us 50 yards down the wrong track, which is usually no big deal, but on the way back to the right direction, ladysolly got a boot stuck in the mud and fell over. No injuries except to her dignity, but she did get very muddy.\n\nAnd then something wonderful happened. I tried using my iPhone 3GS, and, as if by magic, it's now sufficiently responsive to be useful for caching! Instead of updating its position after a lag of a couple of minutes, it does it every couple of seconds. I updated the version of Memory Map only today; maybe that's what did it? Who knows. The problem with iPhones is that they make a major effort to hide any useful information from you.\n\nNot that this helps much. Ladysolly decided that she wants an iPhone 5 for Christmas, so I'll be inheriting her old 4S in a few weeks anyway.\n\nThen we couldn't find number six in the series, which everyone else could find. Then we couldn't find number 7, but several people recently couldn't find it, so it's probably gone. So I made a guess about our missing values, \"pig\" and \"chicken\" on the assumption that each one was different, only I made a blunder and took us to the wrong place. Ladysolly pointed out the blunder, I recalculated, and that, hilariously, took us back to where we'd parked in the first place. Well, ladysolly thought it was funny. So then we hunted around for this bonus, until a man nearby who was mending his fence said \"Can I help you?\" (meaning \"what are you doing, acting so suspiciously?\" but people tre too polite to put it that way) which normally gets a \"No thank you, I'm fine\" from me, but this time, I said \"Yes, actually, that's very kind of you,\" and I explained that I was looking for a geocache, and his help in searching for it would be very gratefully received.\n\nBut he didn't help, he went back to his fence.\n\nAnd at that point, we decided to give up, have our afternoon coffee from our flask, and drive home before it got dark. Thus avoiding any further disasters. Except, I broke a fingernail, but fortunately I can regenerate.\n\nSix caches found, three DNFs. And I found the missing GPS, it had fallen next to the handbrake in the Freelander.\n\nSaturday, 23 November 2013\n\n\nAfter yesterday's tough day out, today was mostly resting, but I did a bit of maintenance on bike.2 and fixed the computer I use for testing hard drives; the memory was the problem, an old 184-pin SDRAM. The computer itself is more than a decade old.\n\nWe watched the Dr Who 50th anniversary program, and I played the Google Doodle Dr Who game.\n\nTomorrow I'm taking ladysolly caching, to Toot Hill and Chipping Ongar. And on Friday we get to go through the Channel Tunnel on the way to Eurodisney! I have to say, I'm looking forward to the train journey more than to the theme park.\n\nFriday, 22 November 2013\n\nA tough day out\n\nThis started well. I went out to do \"Another King's and back\". I loaded up the bike with battery 6 and one Hobbyking battery, and set off.\n\nThe second cache wasn't there. It had a very specific hint, so I replaced it. Then I couldn't find number 16. But the big catastrophe happened as I went from 23 to 24. The map showed a bridleway, the signs said a bridleway, but on the ground was just a field of loose earth. That's the worst kind, because it clogs up the bike so badly that I can't even push it.\n\nSo I tried to go round it, on the field edge. That took me quite a long way from where I wanted to be, and I still had to cross a few hundred meters of loose earth, and sure enough, after about 20 meters, the bike clogged up. It was so bad, that eventually the only way I could make progress was to carry the bike, and that bike, including batteries, is HEAVY.\u00a0 And it's an awkward shape for carrying, the pedals get in the way, and it's not balanced ...\n\nSo after 200 meters, I got to cache 24, but then my knee was hurting as of a sprain, although I don't remember spraining it. And I had another 100 meters of loose earth to cross, one painful step at a time.\n\nEventually, I reached the safe haven of the grass at the edge of the field. And by that time, the bike was so totally clogged up that the rear brakes couldn;t work.\n\nAfter that, things weren't too bad, but I got back to the car a lot later than I'd planned, my knee hurt, my back hurt from the carrying, and I was exhausted.\n\nSo after lunch, I went home. Only 29 caches done today.\n\nOn the plus side, I found 3p in the road by the car when I got back.\n\nThursday, 21 November 2013\n\nTomorrow to Stamford\n\nI've been huddling indoors to avoid the wet and cold, but that can't go on - tomorrow, I'm venturing out to Stamford, there's two circuits there calling me.\n\nMy batteries are now all fully kettle-plugged, which will be nice.

So she walked round again, and again she didn't see me. So she phoned me.\n\nI didn't answer the phone. So she phoned me again. Again I didn't answer, she was put straight through to my voicemail. She phone me five times, to no avail, but which time she was getting really angry with me. Then she texted me, I got the text, drove the ten yards to the front of Starbucks, and picked her up, by which time she was incandescent with rage.\n\nI immediately got a major earful. I was roundly castigated for having switched my phone off; I pointed out that it wasn't off, I actually don't know how to switch it off, and anyway I got her text, so it couldn't have been off. She tried phoning me as we drove round the M25, and got the same problem. After we parked, I established that I could phone her, but she couldn't phone me.\n\nWhen we got home that evening, I called Vodafone for tech support. They immediately diagnosed the problem, the phone was on \"unconditional divert\". I'm sure I didn't make that happen, and the sequence that you have to key in is so long and complex, it couldn't have happened by accident. I suspect Vodafone did it, but, oh well, I keyed in ##002# and pressed send, and everything works now. And while I was talking to them, I ordered the micro sim card that I'll need when I inherit ladysolly's phone. They wanted to charge me \u00a32.50 for this, but I pointed out that I'm a \"Valuable Customer\", so they waived it. Useful phrase, that.\n\nSo. Back to the day's disasters ...\n\nStarbucks put the coffee into china mugs, and when ladysolly repeated that this was for take-out, they transferred it into paper cups. But that lost some of the heat. The delay in ladysolly getting to the car made it cool down some more, and you can't stop for coffee on the M25. So by the time we could pull in, it was lukewarm, and that's being generous.\n\nWe found a place to park and have lunch, then went to the parking place for the circuit we planned to do, \"Toot Hill Trivial Pursuit\". We got our kit on, and I started up the GPS ... GPS? Where's the GPS? A substantial hunt revealed the fact that I didn't have the GPS. I had the PDA with mapping and Memory Map, but that's useless without the GPS that it connects to via bluetooth.\n\nIf I'd been in the Freelander, that wouldn't have been a problem; I have a spare GPS (and a spare PDA) in the back. But we were in the Volvo. My iPhone 3GS has always been useless for geocaching, because it takes a couple of minutes to respond to any movement. So I'm 20 yards past the cache and it's still saying it's 40 yards in front of me. Fortunately, Ladysolly has a 4S, and that works for caching, so we decided to use that. And I took my PDA anyway, because although I didn't have GPS function, I could still use it to read the cache pages, because I preload them on the CF card.\n\nAnd off we went.\n\nWe found the first few caches, and then I took us 50 yards down the wrong track, which is usually no big deal, but on the way back to the right direction, ladysolly got a boot stuck in the mud and fell over. No injuries except to her dignity, but she did get very muddy.\n\nAnd then something wonderful happened. I tried using my iPhone 3GS, and, as if by magic, it's now sufficiently responsive to be useful for caching! Instead of updating its position after a lag of a couple of minutes, it does it every couple of seconds. I updated the version of Memory Map only today; maybe that's what did it? Who knows. The problem with iPhones is that they make a major effort to hide any useful information from you.\n\nNot that this helps much. Ladysolly decided that she wants an iPhone 5 for Christmas, so I'll be inheriting her old 4S in a few weeks anyway.\n\nThen we couldn't find number six in the series, which everyone else could find. Then we couldn't find number 7, but several people recently couldn't find it, so it's probably gone. So I made a guess about our missing values, \"pig\" and \"chicken\" on the assumption that each one was different, only I made a blunder and took us to the wrong place. Ladysolly pointed out the blunder, I recalculated, and that, hilariously, took us back to where we'd parked in the first place. Well, ladysolly thought it was funny. So then we hunted around for this bonus, until a man nearby who was mending his fence said \"Can I help you?\" (meaning \"what are you doing, acting so suspiciously?\" but people tre too polite to put it that way) which normally gets a \"No thank you, I'm fine\" from me, but this time, I said \"Yes, actually, that's very kind of you,\" and I explained that I was looking for a geocache, and his help in searching for it would be very gratefully received.\n\nBut he didn't help, he went back to his fence.\n\nAnd at that point, we decided to give up, have our afternoon coffee from our flask, and drive home before it got dark. Thus avoiding any further disasters. Except, I broke a fingernail, but fortunately I can regenerate.\n\nSix caches found, three DNFs. And I found the missing GPS, it had fallen next to the handbrake in the Freelander.\n\nSaturday, 23 November 2013\n\n\nAfter yesterday's tough day out, today was mostly resting, but I did a bit of maintenance on bike.2 and fixed the computer I use for testing hard drives; the memory was the problem, an old 184-pin SDRAM. The computer itself is more than a decade old.\n\nWe watched the Dr Who 50th anniversary program, and I played the Google Doodle Dr Who game.\n\nTomorrow I'm taking ladysolly caching, to Toot Hill and Chipping Ongar. And on Friday we get to go through the Channel Tunnel on the way to Eurodisney! I have to say, I'm looking forward to the train journey more than to the theme park.\n\nFriday, 22 November 2013\n\nA tough day out\n\nThis started well. I went out to do \"Another King's and back\". I loaded up the bike with battery 6 and one Hobbyking battery, and set off.\n\nThe second cache wasn't there. It had a very specific hint, so I replaced it. Then I couldn't find number 16. But the big catastrophe happened as I went from 23 to 24. The map showed a bridleway, the signs said a bridleway, but on the ground was just a field of loose earth. That's the worst kind, because it clogs up the bike so badly that I can't even push it.\n\nSo I tried to go round it, on the field edge. That took me quite a long way from where I wanted to be, and I still had to cross a few hundred meters of loose earth, and sure enough, after about 20 meters, the bike clogged up. It was so bad, that eventually the only way I could make progress was to carry the bike, and that bike, including batteries, is HEAVY.\u00a0 And it's an awkward shape for carrying, the pedals get in the way, and it's not balanced ...\n\nSo after 200 meters, I got to cache 24, but then my knee was hurting as of a sprain, although I don't remember spraining it. And I had another 100 meters of loose earth to cross, one painful step at a time.\n\nEventually, I reached the safe haven of the grass at the edge of the field. And by that time, the bike was so totally clogged up that the rear brakes couldn;t work.\n\nAfter that, things weren't too bad, but I got back to the car a lot later than I'd planned, my knee hurt, my back hurt from the carrying, and I was exhausted.\n\nSo after lunch, I went home. Only 29 caches done today.\n\nOn the plus side, I found 3p in the road by the car when I got back.\n\nThursday, 21 November 2013\n\nTomorrow to Stamford\n\nI've been huddling indoors to avoid the wet and cold, but that can't go on - tomorrow, I'm venturing out to Stamford, there's two circuits there calling me.\n\nMy batteries are now all fully kettle-plugged, which will be nice. And I have a pair of army surplus mittens, size extremely large, so that I can wear my biking gloves inside them. That way, when I take them off to sign a log, only my fingers will be exposed, and when I put them back on, my hands will be warmer than with just the finger", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 202994, "pt_loc": 20396510, "pt_shuffle_idx": 228014975, "doc_index_f": 357418212, "doc_index_l": 357418212, "offset_f": 2988, "offset_l": 5036, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 45, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": "Question: How do you remove weeds quickly?\nAnswer: Pull them out by hand for a quick removal.<|endoftext|>4 HOWTO\n\n\nAlthough asciimoo unofficially abandoned it for potion, I've been using f33dme with slight modifications as a feed reader since May 2011. On 4th May 2013, Debian released Wheezy, so when I upgraded the server I ran my f33dme instance on, I got Django 1.4 along with it. As with major upgrades, nothing worked after the upgrade, so I had to tweak the code to make it work with the new release of the framework.\n\nFirst of all, the database configuration in settings.py were just simple key-value pairs like DATABASE_ENGINE = 'sqlite3', these had to be replaced with a more structured block like the one below.\n\n 'default': {\n 'ENGINE': 'sqlite3',\n\nThen starting the service using manage.py displayed the following error message.\n\nError: One or more models did not validate:\nadmin.logentry: 'user' has a relation with model\n , which\n has either not been installed or is abstract.\n\nAbdul Rafi wrote on Stack Overflow that such issues could be solved by adding django.contrib.auth to INSTALLED_APPS, and in case of f33dme, it was already there, I just had to uncomment it.

Although it's not a strictly Django-related problem, but another component called feedparser also got upgraded and started returning such values that resulted in TypeError exceptions, so the handler in fetch.py also had to be extended to deal with such cases.\n\nWith the modifications described above, f33dme now works like a charm, although deprecation warnings still get written to the logs both from Django and feedparser, but these can be dealt with till the next Debian upgrade, and until then, I have a working feed reader.\n\nBootstrapping the CDC version of Proxmark3\n\n\nA few weeks ago I updated my working directory of Proxmark3 and found that Roel Verdult finally improved the USB stack by ditching the old HID-based one and using USB CDC.

But the former guerrilla commander says it is a position he would rather not have. Xanana Gusmao says he will run for the presidency of East Timor in the April 14 elections. He plans to stand as an independent candidate but already has the support of 10 political parties. Caroline O'Brien, Mr. Gusmao's press spokeswoman, said \"he's running only on the proviso that he's still an independent person, independent of these parties and their philosophies.\" Ms. O'Brien said part of the logic behind remaining independent is so that his presidency can work to unify the country's 16 political parties when divisions surface. \"He's always been and continues to be pro-unity,\" she said. \"That's his number one platform. He does not want to see parties tearing the each other apart at this stage. This is the time for laying strong foundation for the country. This is the time for all parties to work together.\" Mr. Gusmao announced his intention to run Saturday just hours before the registration deadline. Spokeswoman O'Brien said her boss has been reluctant to run so he had to weigh the decision carefully. \"Leaders of other countries, leaders of the U.N., they're asking him to run, and he's under a lot of pressure to run, so he's running,\" she said. A former journalist turned guerrilla commander, many credit Mr. Gusmao's personal charisma for bringing about East Timor's independence in 1999. Mr. Gusmao's guerrilla army began fighting Indonesia shortly after Jakarta invaded the former Portuguese colony in 1975. More than 200,000 people are believed to have died in the fighting. During the 1990s, Mr. Gusmao was captured by Indonesian forces and jailed for subversion. He was released shortly after East Timor voted for the territory's independence in a U.N.-supervised ballot in 1999.\n\nMr. Gusmao is facing one other candidate in the election: Fransisco Xavier do Amaral who served as East Timor's president for the nine days between the withdrawal of Portuguese forces and the Indonesian invasion in 1975.\n\nThe president will be inaugurated on May 20, the day East Timor formally becomes an independent nation. The territory is currently administered by the United Nations.<|endoftext|>Question: Prepare toilet base for removal.\nAnswer: Disconnect the water supply line using a adjustable wrench.

Negotiations were officially launched in\u00a0September 2016.\n\nTo ensure a draft agreement will not lead to incompatibility with pre-existing human rights obligations, the report argues that CEPA negotiations should be based on a human rights impact assessment (HRIA).

See below:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll this the secular Left perceives with absolute clarity.\n\nYet Christians do not.\n\n\n\nBut Christians need to wake-up.\n\n\nAll of them.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMonday, 27 August 2012\n\n\n\n\nHere is something to think about:\n\n\n\n\nSunday, 26 August 2012\n\nWhat do libertarians think they are?\n\n\nLibertarians always line-up with 'Liberals' on the hot button moral issues of the day - but present themselves as tough-minded rationalists about the economy, defense, federalism and the like.\n\nIn other words, Libertarians claim to be more effective and efficient Leftists: the have exactly the same 'ultimate' utilitarian aims in life, but claim to be better at reaching them.\u00a0\n\nAnd this is why libertarianism is merely a hobby for a tiny minority of dissociated smart lads - because to be a Libertarian entails having a dual personality as regards ends and means: one part of the mind entranced by the vague, unbounded dreams of Leftism; while the other part operates like a hard-eyed manipulative Machiavellian.\n\nLibertarians are fundamentally Leftist, hence fundamentally irrational; and Libertarians are superficially rationalist, hence anti-Left.\n\nLibertarians imagines this combination means they have straddled and integrated Left and Right - but this is crude contradiction: incoherence, not synthesis.\n\nSadly, this criticism also applies to the secular Right in general: utilitarianism just is Leftism, their rationalism fights their Leftism; their secularism propels them into Leftism.\n\nSo there are only two side - the Religious Right and the anti-Religious Right (i.e. the Left). Everything else is incoherent, self-fighting, self-defeating.\n\n\nProof that God exists - only by Christ (adapted from Pascal)\n\n\nJesus Christ fulfilled the prophecies of the Old Testament - over time, this confirmed he was the Messiah - or, at least, consistent-with being the Messiah.\n\nBut this fulfillment only happened over time.\n\n\nJesus said he was (the Son of) God, but why believe him during his ministry?\n\nAnswer: The miracles. Christ performed miracles - this validated that he had supernatural powers, and therefore his claims were plausible.\n\n(It would have been no sin not to believe in Christ during his life - if it had not been for the miracles. They were enough to inspire belief among true seekers of salvation.)\n\nSo, he said he was God, and performed miracles as proof.\u00a0\n\n\nBut miraculous powers might be good or evil.\n\nAlthough gifted with miraculous power, Jesus accepted crucifixion without resistance - this implied he was not evil.\n\nWould an evil miracle worker do this?\u00a0\n\n\nThe Resurrection - (and the Ascension and the coming of the Holy Ghost to the Apostles, and their miracles) confirmed that Christ was God.\n\n\nSince God was crucified by Man\u00a0- he revealed the wretchedness of Man, that Man was evil and helpless and needed a Saviour.\n\n(Not completely evil and completely helpless; but hope-less - requiring external help for salvation.)\n\n\nSaturday, 25 August 2012\n\nScriptural monotheism is necessary to defeat secular Leftism\n\n\nThis seems very obvious to me - although I cannot really think how to prove it; and indeed it is not the kind of thing that can be proved.\n\nIt simply seems that no secular materialist perspective provides the social coherence and individual solidity necessary to hold the line on anything.\n\nWhenever I think of any secular materialist perspective it is obviously socially destructive.\n\nBut what of non-monotheist religions? Types of paganism? Religions without a deity? Non-scriptural monotheisms such as The God of The Philosophers, of the perennial philosophy, or generic spirituality?\n\nThey seem too weak, incoherent, subjective, fluid and yielding to beat secular Leftism; and even after secular Leftism self-destructs then they would - I think - give way before any Scriptural monotheism which remained.\n\n\nFriday, 24 August 2012\n\nWhen 'complicated' issues are actually clear and simple\n\n\nOn the one hand we have secular Leftism for which issues are always clear and simple (clear and simple, that is,\u00a0but not stable - today's clear and simple may be the opposite of tomorrow's.).\n\nChristians tend to respond and resist by saying variations upon the theme of 'but it's more complex than that, there are\u00a0further implications you have not thought about, further debate is required...'.\n\nSo we have clear and simple versus confused and complex... Guess who always wins?\n\n\nIn fact the 'hot button', litmus test moral issues of our era are perfectly clear and absolutely simple for Christians (I mean clear and simple for real Christians - not for the mass of Leftist-pseudo-Christians).\n\nBut the clarity and simplicity of the questions depends upon authority\u00a0- tradition, the consensus of Holier (and more truthful, and more moral) persons from the past whose understanding was qualitatively greater than ours and whose insights we are not entitled to revise and whose guidance we must therefore accept.\n\n\nBut\u00a0one facet of the impregnable pride of modernity is that it believes it has transcended authority and now depends only on reason and evidence.\n\nIn reality,\u00a0society as it is now has dispensed with reason and evidence except at the level of sound-bites and fashion; and relies on\u00a0emotional manipulation and coercion\u00a0- however the disdain for authority is by now thoroughly entrenched.\n\n\nAnd within Christianity.\n\nChurch structures are fundamentally overthrown simply because those with power (having thought about the matter for at least five minutes, and because change benefits\u00a0them) cannot see any reason why they should not be overthrown.\n\nLiturgy has become a maelstrom of experimentation in which beauty, dignity and profundity are the casualties to simplification or distortion - immediate appeal, immediate comprehensibility, obvious compatibility with secular values.\n\nAnd scripture has gone the same way. Words are no longer dependent upon divine inspiration but can be re- and re- and re-'translated' in line with the latest scholarly or political fashions, to make them fun, and to make them (pseudo)\u00a0understandable - leaving a leaden mixture of the trite,\u00a0the bureaucratic and just plain\u00a0made-up", "base_doc": " be, experts in evangelism and mission - in getting people 'saved', and 'across the line' into Christianity.\n\nWhat then?\n\nWell, there is a period of strengthening the conversion, learning scripture and removing errors: and this may take many years.\n\nSo there tends to be a lot of repetition, and a focus on the moment of conversion, being born again.\n\nThe aim is perhaps to secure salvation, to make the state of being saved stronger.\u00a0\n\n\nAt some point some people begin to want more, or perhaps more accurately want something different (for whatever reason) - and Protestants tend to channel this desire, or this surplus energy, or the need to fill the days with activity into... well, Good Works principally - primarily more evangelism and mission (for which there is always a need) but also into Good Works like health care, social care, education...\n\nThe devout Protestant model of church once or twice a week, absent or infrequent (and non-mystical) Holy Communion, perhaps home Bible study groups, and extempore prayer is not well-suited to theosis.\n\n(Protestants tend to be salvation egalitarians, to the point of being reluctant to acknowledge the existence of and gifts of those with exceptional Holiness - for example Saints.) \u00a0\n\n\nBut for Catholics, conversion is (or ought to be) the start of a process of sanctification (theosis, moving toward being a Saint in communion with God).\n\nAnd this is aimed at by things such as frequent Holy Communion, ascetic practices, and frequent formal and ritual activity - ideally that kind of fusion of all aspects of life in pursuit of sanctification which reached its highest in Byzantium.\n\n\nTheosis\u00a0 is, in a way, orthogonal to conversion.\n\nTheosis does not (until its highest levels) render salvation stronger - indeed it tends to risk salvation, by tending to encourage spiritual pride (which can overturn almost any state of salvation - so that very advanced ascetics may fall, presumably into damnation, even after many years of endeavour).\n\nNonetheless, theosis is probably the main thing which Christians should do after conversion is (reasonably) solid.\n\n\nOn this line of argument, Protestants secure salvation and then some Protestants will want to embark on theosis with a Catholic denomination.\n\nBut one major problem is that - while there are numerous successful Protestant evangelicals - there is a serious shortage of Catholic denominations orientated towards theosis.

Non-scriptural monotheisms such as The God of The Philosophers, of the perennial philosophy, or generic spirituality?\n\nThey seem too weak, incoherent, subjective, fluid and yielding to beat secular Leftism; and even after secular Leftism self-destructs then they would - I think - give way before any Scriptural monotheism which remained.\n\n\nFriday, 24 August 2012\n\nWhen 'complicated' issues are actually clear and simple\n\n\nOn the one hand we have secular Leftism for which issues are always clear and simple (clear and simple, that is,\u00a0but not stable - today's clear and simple may be the opposite of tomorrow's.).\n\nChristians tend to respond and resist by saying variations upon the theme of 'but it's more complex than that, there are\u00a0further implications you have not thought about, further debate is required...'.\n\nSo we have clear and simple versus confused and complex... Guess who always wins?\n\n\nIn fact the 'hot button', litmus test moral issues of our era are perfectly clear and absolutely simple for Christians (I mean clear and simple for real Christians - not for the mass of Leftist-pseudo-Christians).\n\nBut the clarity and simplicity of the questions depends upon authority\u00a0- tradition, the consensus of Holier (and more truthful, and more moral) persons from the past whose understanding was qualitatively greater than ours and whose insights we are not entitled to revise and whose guidance we must therefore accept.\n\n\nBut\u00a0one facet of the impregnable pride of modernity is that it believes it has transcended authority and now depends only on reason and evidence.\n\nIn reality,\u00a0society as it is now has dispensed with reason and evidence except at the level of sound-bites and fashion; and relies on\u00a0emotional manipulation and coercion\u00a0- however the disdain for authority is by now thoroughly entrenched.\n\n\nAnd within Christianity.\n\nChurch structures are fundamentally overthrown simply because those with power (having thought about the matter for at least five minutes, and because change benefits\u00a0them) cannot see any reason why they should not be overthrown.\n\nLiturgy has become a maelstrom of experimentation in which beauty, dignity and profundity are the casualties to simplification or distortion - immediate appeal, immediate comprehensibility, obvious compatibility with secular values.\n\nAnd scripture has gone the same way. Words are no longer dependent upon divine inspiration but can be re- and re- and re-'translated' in line with the latest scholarly or political fashions, to make them fun, and to make them (pseudo)\u00a0understandable - leaving a leaden mixture of the trite,\u00a0the bureaucratic and just plain\u00a0made-up stuff.\n\n\nBut the big moral issues of our time are, for real Christians, no-brainers.\n\nOn the", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 207902, "pt_loc": 27622345, "pt_shuffle_idx": 51945063, "doc_index_f": 81429058, "doc_index_l": 81429058, "offset_f": 648, "offset_l": 2696, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 27, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": " relativity.\"\n 41.

In both law and morals, we normally excuse people whose acts are not caused by their conscious choices, such as sleepwalkers. The question is whether the excuse granted to sleepwalkers really applies to us all more often than we think. Surprisingly, recent research suggests that conscious choice plays a smaller role in our actions than most people assume.

All that remains is to make use of this information.\n\nA single bit within the IIe indicates whether or not vertical blanking is active, so the IIe code simply polls that bit. The bit value for active vertical blanking is reversed on the IIgs, so a complimentary routine is provided for use on the IIgs. On the IIc the vertical blanking indication is tied to an interrupt source, so the IIc routine instead checks for an active interrupt and clears the interrupt source before returning. An indirect jump through a pointer in memory is used to choose the appropriate vertical blank synchronization routine at runtime. This should be sufficient to enable Fahrfall to support all of the later members of the Apple II family.\n\nThe older II and II Plus are also detected during Fahrfall initialization. Lacking any support for vertical blank synchronization, detection of these early Apple II machines currently leads to an early exit from Fahrfall. When Fahrfall is more complete, I may experiment with a more static delay loop for use on these early machines. \u00a0It won't be perfect, but it might be better than not running at all? Alternatively, it looks like the mouse interface card might be able to provide the necessary timing (if one is installed). Are there enough II or II Plus machines (with or without mouse cards) to make the effort to support those machines worthwhile? I have no idea...\n\nRead The Fine Manual\n\nMost programming of Apple II hardware is done through some sort of \"soft switch\" access. These are memory-mapped hardware registers that change and/or reflect the state of various bits of hardware on the Apple II. Most \"soft switches\" are accessed in such a way that the change of state occurs based on the location accessed rather than whether that access is a read or a write. However, \"most\" and \"all\" are different things...\n\nThe vertical blanking interval detection routine for the Apple IIc enables generation of a vertical blanking interrupt, but disables interrupts at the CPU. The interrupt is detected by polling a \"soft switch\" until the vertical blanking interval is indicated. During setup, another set of \"soft switch\" locations is accessed to enable the generation of that interrupt. But when I first ran Fahrfall on a IIc, the program simply hung.\n\nI speculated that my polling loop was checking for the wrong condition, so I changed it to look for a '0' rather than a '1'. That stopped Fahrfall from hanging, but now the game ran too fast as it always thought an interrupt was pending. Ultimately, I figured out that my attempt to enable vertical blanking interrupt generation with read operations was not working. Changing those to write operations made the interrupt detection work as expected. Sometimes it pays to read the manual carefully!\n\nHear Me Roar\n\nOne of my favorite bits of Fahrfall on the CoCo is the simple sound effect used to simulate footfalls during player movement on the platforms. This effect uses the square wave audio output on the CoCo, following a pattern triggered during the vertical blanking interval. The Apple II audio hardware is similar to the square wave audio hardware on the CoCo, so I implemented an equivalent audio pattern triggered during the vertical blanking period while the player is moving horizontally on a platform. The sound effect on the Apple II sounds virtually identical to the effect on the CoCo version of Fahrfall. Fahrve still looks like a big, blue box, but now you can hear him coming!\n\nI guess that covers the state of things for now. Hopefully I can find some time this weekend to add scoring, or to give Fahrve some shape, or... Well, I guess you'll just have to stay tuned!\n\nTuesday, January 20, 2015\n\nGame On\n\nA few more days have passed in the RetroChallenge 2015/01 event, and there is a bit more progress to report! \u00a0Step by step, Fahrfall is coming together on my Apple II. \u00a0Soon I will have a real game... :-)\n\nCollision Detection\n\nThe main point of Fahrfall is to fall down the screen, land on a platform, and ride the platform back up the screen before you repeat the process. \u00a0For that to happen, the program needs to know when the player is in contact with a platform. \u00a0That problem is known as collision detection.\n\nCollision detection in Fahrfall is fairly simple. \u00a0Each platform is represented in the computer's memory by a bitmap, with a '1' representing each section of the platform and a '0' representing each gap. \u00a0A variable keeps track of the horizontal position of the player on the screen, and that value is used as an index into a table containing bitmaps that represent the platform sections with which the player might collide in that horizontal position. \u00a0When the player's vertical position is immediately above a platform, a simple bitwise AND operation between the two bitmaps is done. \u00a0A non-zero result represents a collision (i.e. the player is standing on a platform).\n\nHidden Platform\n\nAs indicated, the collision check is done between the player and the platform on the line beneath the player. \u00a0This presents a problem when the player is all the way at the bottom of the screen, since all three platforms will be above it. \u00a0Without some accommodation, the platform data array will underflow\u00a0and problems will be inevitable.\n\nThere are many potential solutions. \u00a0There could be an explicit check for this situation, with the result being either to skip the collision check or to immediately end the game. \u00a0Alternatively, a fourth entry could be added to the platform data array. \u00a0The fourth entry could contain an all-zero bitmap (so that no collision would ever occur), or it could contain the data for the next platform.\n\nThe latter option is what I chose to do. \u00a0This may seem silly, since only three platforms are displayed on the screen. \u00a0But adding a fourth (off-screen) platform introduces an interesting gameplay feature. \u00a0If the next platform would catch them, a player can be saved at the last minute through sheer luck when falling off the bottom of the screen!

\u00a0I am still making progress, but I don't have a very cohesive topic for a blog post at the moment. \u00a0Since it has been a few days since the last update, I will just touch on a few random bits here and there...\n\nLine By Line\n\nIn an earlier post, I mentioned that the video memory in the Apple II has a peculiar layout. \u00a0For example, the data for line six is offset in memory from the data for line seven by a different amount than the offset between the data for lines seven and eight. \u00a0This makes moving an object on the screen from line to line more complicated than simply adding or subtracting a fixed offset from the previous address.\n\nPreviously I wrote a routine that would convert a screen line number to a base address in video memory. \u00a0I have since rewritten that routine by replacing a shift-and-add multiplication with some bitwise operations, thereby improving its performance. \u00a0Nevertheless, the routine is long enough that I would like to limit how much it is used.\n\nI was able to implement somewhat simpler routines for moving up or down one line at a time. \u00a0These routines combine simple offset adjustments with checks and adjustments for crossing 8-line boundaries. \u00a0The results are somewhat simpler than the direct calculation routine, with corresponding performance improvements. \u00a0A single-line offset is simple enough to be practical and common enough to be useful, especially for Fahrfall.\n\nPoint Break\n\nThe 6502 only has a handful of registers for use by the programmer, none of which are large enough to hold an actual address. \u00a0Addresses for data access can be embedded in the program code, but either that would limit a given function to accessing only predetermined memory locations or it would require the use of self-modifying code that rewrites the addresses whenever different memory locations are used -- ugh!\n\nFortunately, the 6502 does provide a couple of means for storing an address in memory and then using that address as the object of an indirect memory access.", "base_doc": " locations quickly distinguish between the IIc, the IIe, and older machines as well. All that remains is to make use of this information.\n\nA single bit within the IIe indicates whether or not vertical blanking is active, so the IIe code simply polls that bit. The bit value for active vertical blanking is reversed on the IIgs, so a complimentary routine is provided for use on the IIgs. On the IIc the vertical blanking indication is tied to an interrupt source, so the IIc routine instead checks for an active interrupt and clears the interrupt source before returning. An indirect jump through a pointer in memory is used to choose the appropriate vertical blank synchronization routine at runtime. This should be sufficient to enable Fahrfall to support all of the later members of the Apple II family.\n\nThe older II and II Plus are also detected during Fahrfall initialization. Lacking any support for vertical blank synchronization, detection of these early Apple II machines currently leads to an early exit from Fahrfall. When Fahrfall is more complete, I may experiment with a more static delay loop for use on these early machines. \u00a0It won't be perfect, but it might be better than not running at all? Alternatively, it looks like the mouse interface card might be able to provide the necessary timing (if one is installed). Are there enough II or II Plus machines (with or without mouse cards) to make the effort to support those machines worthwhile? I have no idea...\n\nRead The Fine Manual\n\nMost programming of Apple II hardware is done through some sort of \"soft switch\" access. These are memory-mapped hardware registers that change and/or reflect the state of various bits of hardware on the Apple II. Most \"soft switches\" are accessed in such a way that the change of state occurs based on the location accessed rather than whether that access is a read or a write. However, \"most\" and \"all\" are different things...\n\nThe vertical blanking interval detection routine for the Apple IIc enables generation of a vertical blanking interrupt, but disables interrupts at the CPU. The interrupt is detected by polling a \"soft switch\" until the vertical blanking interval is indicated. During setup, another set of \"soft switch\" locations is accessed to enable the generation of that interrupt. But when I first ran Fahrfall on a IIc, the program simply hung.\n\nI speculated that my polling loop was checking for the wrong condition, so I changed it to look for a '0' rather than a '1'. That stopped Fahrfall from hanging, but now the game ran too fast as it always thought an interrupt was pending. Ultimately, I figured out that my attempt to enable vertical blanking interrupt generation with read operations was not working. Changing those to write operations made the interrupt detection work as expected. Sometimes it pays to read the manual carefully!\n\nHear Me Roar\n\nOne of my favorite bits of Fahrfall on the CoCo is the simple sound effect used to simulate footfalls during player movement on the platforms. This effect uses the square wave audio output on the CoCo, following a pattern triggered during the vertical blanking interval. The Apple II audio hardware is similar to the square wave audio hardware on the CoCo, so I implemented an equivalent audio pattern triggered during the vertical blanking period while the player is moving horizontally on a platform. The sound effect on the Apple II sounds virtually identical to the effect on the CoCo version of Fahrfall. Fahrve still looks like a big, blue box, but now you can hear him coming!\n\nI guess that covers the state of things for now. Hopefully I can find some time this weekend to add scoring, or to give Fahrve some shape, or... Well, I guess you'll just have to stay tuned!\n\nTuesday, January 20, 2015\n\nGame On\n\nA few more days have passed in the RetroChallenge 2015/01 event, and there is a bit more progress to report! \u00a0Step by step, Fahrfall is coming together on my Apple II. \u00a0Soon I will have a real game... :-)\n\nCollision Detection\n\nThe main point of Fahrfall is to fall down the screen, land on a platform, and ride the platform back up the screen before you repeat the process. \u00a0For that to happen, the program needs to know when the player is in contact with a platform. \u00a0That problem is known as collision detection.\n\nCollision detection in Fahrfall is fairly simple. \u00a0Each platform is represented in the computer's memory by a bitmap, with a '1' representing each section of the platform and a '0' representing each gap. \u00a0A variable keeps track of the horizontal position of the player on the screen, and that value is used as an index into a table containing bitmaps that represent the platform sections with which the player might collide in that horizontal position. \u00a0When the player's vertical position is immediately above a platform, a simple bitwise AND operation between the two bitmaps is done. \u00a0A non-zero result represents a collision (i.e. the player is standing on a platform).\n\nHidden Platform\n\nAs indicated, the collision check is done between the player and the platform on the line beneath the player. \u00a0This presents a problem when the player is all the way at the bottom of the screen, since all three platforms will be above it. \u00a0Without some accommodation, the platform data array will underflow\u00a0and problems will be inevitable.\n\nThere are many potential solutions. \u00a0There could be an explicit check for this situation, with the result being either to skip the collision check or to immediately end the game. \u00a0Alternatively, a fourth entry could be added to the platform data array. \u00a0The fourth entry could contain an all-zero bitmap (so that no collision would ever occur), or it could contain the data for the next platform.\n\nThe latter option is what I chose to do. \u00a0This may seem silly, since only three platforms are displayed on the screen. \u00a0But adding a fourth (off-screen) platform introduces an interesting gameplay feature. \u00a0If the next platform would catch them, a player can be saved at the last minute through sheer luck when falling off the bottom of the screen! \u00a0This only happens if the fourth platform is just about to emerge, but it still adds an element of fun for those who reallly enjoy Fahrfall.\n\nMoving On Up\n\nWith collision detection all sorted, making the player ride the platforms is a simple matter. \u00a0When a collision is detected and the platforms move up, the player is moved up at the same time. \u00a0Similarly, if a collision is detected then the player does not move down. \u00a0To make this work properly, collision detection must be run whenever there is movement of either the player or the plaforms (i.e. sometimes twice in a frame). \u00a0Aside from that, making the player ride the platforms was just a simple matter of programming.\n\nSo the basic gameplay mechanics of Fahrfall are complete in this Apple II port of the game. \u00a0At this point you can \"play\" using the joystick, so long as you don't care about keeping score. \u00a0Nevertheless, there are still plenty of features and embellishments missing. \u00a0So there is still more to come...I hope you will stay tuned!\n\nSunday, January 18, 2015\n\nHalftime for RC2015/01\n\nWe are now roughly half way through the Retrochallenge 2015/01 event! \u00a0I am still making progress, but I don't have a very cohesive topic for a blog post at the moment. \u00a0Since it has been a few days since the last update, I will just touch on a few random bits here and there...\n\nLine By Line\n\nIn an earlier post, I mentioned that the video memory in the Apple II has a peculiar layout. \u00a0For example, the data for line six is offset in memory from the data for line seven by a different amount than the offset between the data for lines seven and eight. \u00a0This makes moving an object on the screen from line to line more complicated than simply adding or subtracting a fixed offset from the previous address.\n\nPreviously I wrote a routine that would convert a screen line number to a base address in video memory. \u00a0I have since rewritten that routine by replacing a shift-and-add multiplication with some bitwise operations, thereby improving its performance. \u00a0Nevertheless, the routine is long enough that I would like to limit how much it is used.\n\nI was able to implement somewhat simpler routines for moving up or down one line at a time. \u00a0These routines combine simple offset adjustments with checks and adjustments for crossing 8-line boundaries. \u00a0The results are somewhat simpler than the direct calculation routine, with corresponding performance improvements. \u00a0A single-line offset is simple enough to be practical and common enough to be useful, especially for Fahrfall.\n\nPoint Break\n\nThe 6502 only has a handful of registers for use by the programmer, none of which are large enough to hold an actual address. \u00a0Addresses for data access can be embedded in the program code, but either that would limit a given function to accessing only predetermined memory locations or it would require the use of self-modifying code that rewrites the addresses whenever different memory locations are used -- ugh!\n\nFortunately, the 6502 does provide a couple of means for storing an address in memory and then using that address as the object of an indirect memory access. \u00a0Unfortunately, those options require storing the address somewhere within the 256-byte \"zero page\". \u00a0Those locations are in high demand, and the Apple II firmware pre-", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 211174, "pt_loc": 11791480, "pt_shuffle_idx": 74179603, "doc_index_f": 116284302, "doc_index_l": 116284302, "offset_f": 2777, "offset_l": 4825, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 36, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": "Question: What supplies are needed to make herringbone film strip window?\nAnswer: Film strip Packing Tape Quilter's cutting mat and ruler Rotary cutter Pencil Paper<|endoftext|> thing used in the experiment was the sample of radium, but Rutherford did not have to pay for it\u2014the radium was on loan from the Austrian Academy of Sciences.\n\nNuclear physics soon got bigger. The electrically charged particles from radium in Rutherford\u2019s experiment did not have enough energy to penetrate the electrical repulsion of the gold nucleus and get into the nucleus itself. To break into nuclei and learn what they are, physicists in the 1930s invented cyclotrons and other machines that would accelerate charged particles to higher energies. The late Maurice Goldhaber, former director of Brookhaven Laboratory, once reminisced:\n\n\n\nAfter World War II, new accelerators were built, but now with a different purpose. In observations of cosmic rays, physicists had found a few varieties of elementary particles different from any that exist in ordinary atoms. To study this new kind of matter, it was necessary to create these particles artificially in large numbers. For this physicists had to accelerate beams of ordinary particles like protons\u2014the nuclei of hydrogen atoms\u2014to higher energy, so that when the protons hit atoms in a stationary target their energy could be transmuted into the masses of particles of new types. It was not a matter of setting records for the highest-energy accelerators, or even of collecting more and more exotic species of particles, like orchids. The point of building these accelerators was, by creating new kinds of matter, to learn the laws of nature that govern all forms of matter. Though many physicists preferred small-scale experiments in the style of Rutherford, the logic of discovery forced physics to become big.\n\nIn 1959 I joined the Radiation Laboratory at Berkeley as a postdoc. Berkeley then had the world\u2019s most powerful accelerator, the Bevatron, which occupied the whole of a large building in the hills above the campus. The Bevatron had been built specifically to accelerate protons to energies high enough to create antiprotons, and to no one\u2019s surprise antiprotons were created. What was surprising was that hundreds of types of new, highly unstable particles were also created. There were so many of these new types of particles that they could hardly all be elementary, and we began to doubt whether we even knew what was meant by a particle being elementary. It was all very confusing, and exciting.\n\nAfter a decade of work at the Bevatron, it became clear that to make sense of what was being discovered, a new generation of higher-energy accelerators would be needed. These new accelerators would be too big to fit into a laboratory in the Berkeley hills. Many of them would also be too big as institutions to be run by any single university. But if this was a crisis for Berkeley, it wasn\u2019t a crisis for physics. New accelerators were built, at Fermilab outside Chicago, at CERN near Geneva, and at other laboratories in the US and Europe. They were too large to fit into buildings, but had now become features of the landscape. The new accelerator at Fermilab was four miles in circumference, and was accompanied by a herd of bison, grazing on the restored Illinois prairie.\n\nBy the mid-1970s the work of experimentalists at these laboratories, and of theorists using the data that were gathered, had led us to a comprehensive and now well-verified theory of particles and forces, called the Standard Model. In this theory, there are several kinds of elementary particles. There are strongly interacting quarks, which make up the protons and neutrons inside atomic nuclei as well as most of the new particles discovered in the 1950s and 1960s. There are more weakly interacting particles called leptons, of which the prototype is the electron.\n\nThere are also \u201cforce carrier\u201d particles that move between quarks and leptons to produce various forces. These include (1) photons, the particles of light responsible for electromagnetic forces; (2) closely related particles called W and Z bosons that are responsible for the weak nuclear forces that allow quarks or leptons of one species to change into a different species\u2014for instance, allowing negatively charged \u201cdown quarks\u201d to turn into positively charged \u201cup quarks\u201d when carbon-14 decays into nitrogen-14 (it is this gradual decay that enables carbon dating); and (3) massless gluons that produce the strong nuclear forces that hold quarks together inside protons and neutrons.\n\nSuccessful as the Standard Model has been, it is clearly not the end of the story. For one thing, the masses of the quarks and leptons in this theory have so far had to be derived from experiment, rather than deduced from some fundamental principle. We have been looking at the list of these masses for decades now, feeling that we ought to understand them, but without making any sense of them. It has been as if we were trying to read an inscription in a forgotten language, like Linear A. Also, some important things are not included in the Standard Model, such as gravitation and the dark matter that astronomers tell us makes up five sixths of the matter of the universe.\n\nSo now we are waiting for results from a new accelerator at CERN that we hope will let us make the next step beyond the Standard Model. This is the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC. It is an underground ring seventeen miles in circumference crossing the border between Switzerland and France. In it two beams of protons are accelerated in opposite directions to energies that will eventually reach 7 TeV in each beam, that is, about 7,500 times the energy in the mass of a proton. The beams are made to collide at several stations around the ring, where detectors with the mass of World War II cruisers sort out the various particles created in these collisions.\n\nSome of the new things to be discovered at the LHC have long been expected. The part of the Standard Model that unites the weak and electromagnetic forces, presented in 1967\u20131968, is based on an exact symmetry between these forces. The W and Z particles that carry the weak nuclear forces and the photons that carry electromagnetic forces all appear in the equations of the theory as massless particles. But while photons really are massless, the W and Z are actually quite heavy. Therefore, it was necessary to suppose that this symmetry between the electromagnetic and weak interactions is \u201cbroken\u201d\u2014that is, though an exact property of the equations of the theory, it is not apparent in observed particles and forces.\n\nThe original and still the simplest theory of how the electroweak symmetry is broken, the one proposed in 1967\u20131968, involves four new fields that pervade the universe. A bundle of the energy of one of these fields would show up in nature as a massive, unstable, electrically neutral particle that came to be called the Higgs boson.1 All the properties of the Higgs boson except its mass are predicted by the 1967\u20131968 electroweak theory, but so far the particle has not been observed. This is why the LHC is looking for the Higgs\u2014if found, it would confirm the simplest version of the electroweak theory. In December 2011 two groups reported hints that the Higgs boson has been created at the LHC, with a mass 133 times the mass of the proton, and signs of a Higgs boson with this mass have since then turned up in an analysis of older data from Fermilab. We will know by the end of 2012 whether the Higgs boson has really been seen.\n\nThe discovery of the Higgs boson would be a gratifying verification of present theory, but it will not point the way to a more comprehensive future theory. We can hope, as was the case with the Bevatron, that the most exciting thing to be discovered at the LHC will be something quite unexpected. Whatever it is, it\u2019s hard to see how it could take us all the way to a final theory, including gravitation. So in the next decade, physicists are probably going to ask their governments for support for whatever new and more powerful accelerator we then think will be needed.\n\n\nThat is going to be a very hard sell. My pessimism comes partly from my experience in the 1980s and 1990s in trying to get funding for another large accelerator.\n\nIn the early 1980s the US began plans for the Superconducting Super Collider, or SSC, which would accelerate protons to 20 TeV, three times the maximum energy that will be available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. After a decade of work, the design was completed, a site was selected in Texas, land bought, and construction begun on a tunnel and on magnets to steer the protons.\n\nThen in 1992 the House of Representatives canceled funding for the SSC. Funding was restored by a House\u2013Senate conference committee, but the next year the same happened again, and this time the House would not go along with the recommendation of the conference committee. After the expenditure of almost two billion dollars and thousands of man-years, the SSC was dead.\n\nOne thing that killed the SSC was an undeserved reputation for over-spending. There was even nonsense in the press about spending on potted plants for the corridors of the administration building. Projected costs did increase, but the main reason was that, year by year, Congress never supplied sufficient funds to keep to the planned rate of spending. This stretched out the time and hence the cost to complete the project. Even so, the SSC met all technical challenges, and could have been completed for about what has been spent on the LHC, and completed a decade earlier.\n\nSpending for the SSC had become a target for a new class of congressmen elected in 1992. They were eager to show that they could cut what they saw as Texas pork, and they didn\u2019t feel", "base_doc": " thing used in the experiment was the sample of radium, but Rutherford did not have to pay for it\u2014the radium was on loan from the Austrian Academy of Sciences.\n\nNuclear physics soon got bigger.

This feature forces you to use the tip of your thumb to control the scissor, instead of pushing the whole finger through, which also reduces the stress on your wrist, tendons, and ligaments.\n\n Determining the Quality of Shears\n\n When you buy your tools, it\u2019s essential that you understand what you are buying. There is always a sales pitch to promise you the world, but to make a good decision you need to boil your decision down to the objective facts, not the fancy packaging or the price tag.\n\n All salespeople like to say that there is simple quality/cost relationship, where higher cost yields better quality. It makes sense for a salesperson, because a higher price yield a bigger paycheck for them, but to get the best deal, it\u2019s better to really understand the fundamentals of what makes a good shear.\n\n Steel Grades\n\n All scissor steels are high carbon stainless steels, containing about 1% carbon. Any more would make them too brittle, and prone to chipping or breaking, which means that improving beyond this ceiling requires the alloying of other elements. A favorite for scissor and knife stainless steels is to add molybdenum, which is an element that bonds to chromium and produces an alloy that resists wear better that regular high-grade stainless steels. All of the steel grades below contain molybdenum.\n\n Other elements in these steels are added, either to make them tougher, to make them easier to work with, or to make them harder without making them more brittle. Keep in mind that the difference between these steels can be minor, whereas the price difference can be huge.\n\n Often you pay a premium to get the very best, not because it\u2019s 3 times harder or tougher than the second best choice, but just because it\u2019s the best.\n\n Since they have about the same carbon and chromium content, all of these steels max out on the Rockwell hardness scale within 58-60 HRC after heat treatment. While that range does contain somewhat noticeable differences, the difference between these steel grades is primarily the toughness and wear resistance of the shear.\n\n ATS 314\n\n This is a famed Japanese stainless steel alloy containing 15% chromium and 4% molybdenum. It is a metallurgical masterpiece from Japan, yielding a harder and more durable product than other high carbon stainless steels. It is a favorite material for hand-forged shears, and is considered the best material money can buy.\n\n V10 (VG10)\n\n This is also a Japanese steel alloy containing 15% chromium 1% molybdenum, 0.2% vanadium, and 1.5% cobalt. It is an excellent steel that is harder and more durable than 440C, but not quite on the level of ATS 314, and therefore more affordable.\n\n V1 (VG1)\n\n This is a Japanese steel alloy that contains 15% chromium and 0.4% molybdenum. This steel contains the basic essentials of the V10 steel, without the frills that put V10 at the top of the series. It costs less than V10, and performs similarly.\n\n\n This is the bread and butter of high carbon stainless steel for blades and shears. It can contains 18% chromium, 0.75% molybdenum, 1% manganese, and 1% silicon. It is the most commonly used tool steel in grooming and hair cutting shears, due to its quality and its affordability.\n\n What is Hitachi Steel?\n\n The top three steel grades listed above were invented by a Japanese company named Takefu Special Steel Co. The only company licensed to produce Takefu\u2019s high carbon stainless steels is Hitachi, and so, Hitachi is a sought after premium brand in the stainless steel market.\n\n Common Hitachi steels are ATS 314, V1, and V10. The V series is often referred to as VG in English, and VK in Japanese. This is because the \u201cG\u201d, stands for gold. The letter changed to be the first letter of the word gold, in whatever language you are speaking. For this reason, we prefer to simply call it V1 and V10.\n\n Shears: Forged vs Cast\n\n Casting processes are easier to automate than forging. It is done by pouring molten metal into a mold and allowing it to cool and harden. This slow cooling process allows the metal to form large crystals, which leads to a brittle structure, that has to be corrected through subsequent heat treating and quenching to yield a reliable, high quality shear.\n\n Forging is a labor intensive process that uses force to push the malleable metal into the desired shape. High level techniques put extra pressure on the edge to form a harder, more dense material, that will retain an edge better than any other method.\n\n Keep in mind that either one of these methods can be executed poorly, and result in a bad product. The best possible outcome requires forging, but the more reliable process is casting.<|endoftext|>Question: Increase lifespan of laptop battery.\nAnswer: Charge battery when almost drained.<|endoftext|>Cross Country Training Holidays 2017-07-26T09:08:46+00:00\n\n\nCross Country Trails\n\nNo one knows how to ride cross country better than the Irish!

This term has been commonly used in medical field as a major symptom of balance disorder. From its etymology, vertigo comes from the Latin \"vertere\" which means to turn and -igo which is a condition of turning about. Although vertigo could mean differently in different professions, vertigo or spatial disorientation, in the aviation world, is a condition wherein which an aircraft pilot's sense of direction contradicts or does not agree with reality. It is a condition wherein which the sufferer is unable to determine the true position of the body. Based from my readings, according to its most widely used definition, one that has been accepted by a large number of countries, Spatial Disorientation (SD) refers to the pilot's: \"\u2026 [failure] to sense correctly the position, motion or attitude of his aircraft or of him/herself within the fixed coordinate system provided by the surface of the earth and the gravitational vertical\". Spatial Disorientation is different from geographic disorientation as the latter is the loss of awareness of location in relation to a particular place in the Earth's surface.\n\nBy nature, human beings are able to maintain Spatial orientation on ground. It is our natural ability to maintain our body's orientation and/or posture in relation to the surrounding environment (physical space) at rest and during motion. However, the flight environment is unfamiliar to the human body under normal circumstances. It can be harsh and tricky and it creates sensory conflicts and illusions that make spatial orientation difficult, and, in some cases, even impossible to achieve. This is where Spatial Disorientation takes place.\n\nWhile vertigo can literally mean dizziness, it is the human's failure to picture the position relative to the horizon that makes it a truly dangerous problem. This is basically the reason why spatial disorientation is one of the major concerns and issues in the aviation world. Further to my readings, \"statistics show that between 5% and 10% of all general aviation accidents can be attributed to spatial disorientation, 90% of which are fatal.\" (ref. AV8ER ON OCTOBER 4, 2009)\n\nMoreso, Spatial Disorientation has been considered a phenomenon and is one of the significant hazards in the industry. In fact, several major accidents involving pilot's spatial disorientation in large commercial airlines have caused attention to the international aviation safety community.\n\nSome flight incidents/reports concerning Spatial Disorientation\n\n \u2022 It is believed that world-famous singer, Jim Reeves, was suffering from spatial disorientation when his Beechcraft aircraft crashed in the Brentwood area of Nashville, Tennessee during a violent thunderstorm on Friday 31st July 1964, claiming the lives of both Reeves and his pianist Dean Manuel.\n \u2022 An accident near Nassenwil/Zurich, Switzerland on 10 January 2000, about 1756 local time, Crossair Flight 498, a Saab 340B carrying three crewmembers, seven passengers, took off from Unique Zurich Airport (ZRH), Switzerland in night instrument meteorological conditions.\n \u2022 Accident on 23 August 2000 about 1930 local time, Gulf Air", "base_doc": "-20 degree tilt outwards, away from your hand.

Born and bred to hunt and tackle difficult terrain, the Irish horse is the perfect teacher for anyone interested in trying their skills in the field.\n\ncross country holiday\u00a0is designed for the experienced equestrian who may have limited to no experience with cross country jumping. We help you transfer the skills you have learned in the arena to the field. Flatwork focuses on establishing a canter rhythm suitable for cross country and maintaining the rider's balance over uneven and/or mucky footing. Jumping instruction is centered on riding different types of obstacles such as banks, drops, water combinations, ditches and more. Riders must wear body protectors whenever they are on the cross country course.\n\nThe week begins with an assessment and lesson in the sand arena the first day. The remainder of the week riders participate in 2 sessions of cross country riding and instruction per day. The availability of the course and length of time spent on it varies and depends on the rider's fitness and the conditions of the course. Combine a cross country holiday with\u00a0English Language\u00a0instruction from the Shannonside Language Centre.\n\n\nReserve Now\n\nSearching Availability...\n<|endoftext|>Vertigo in Aviation\n\nSpatial Disorientation\n\nIn general term, vertigo could mean dizziness, unsteadiness or lightheadedness. This term has been commonly used in medical field as a major symptom of balance disorder. From its etymology, vertigo comes from the Latin \"vertere\" which means to turn and -igo which is a condition of turning about. Although vertigo could mean differently in different professions, vertigo or spatial disorientation, in the aviation world, is a condition wherein which an aircraft pilot's sense of direction contradicts or does not agree with reality. It is a condition wherein which the sufferer is unable to determine the true position of the body. Based from my readings, according to its most widely used definition, one that has been accepted by a large number of countries, Spatial Disorientation (SD) refers to the pilot's: \"\u2026 [failure] to sense correctly the position, motion or attitude of his aircraft or of him/herself within the fixed coordinate system provided by the surface of the earth and the gravitational vertical\". Spatial Disorientation is different from geographic disorientation as the latter is the loss of awareness of location in relation to a particular place in the Earth's surface.\n\nBy nature, human beings are able to maintain Spatial orientation on ground. It is our natural ability to maintain our body's orientation and/or posture in relation to the surrounding environment (physical space) at rest and during motion. However, the flight environment is unfamiliar to the human body under normal circumstances. It can be harsh and tricky and it creates sensory conflicts and illusions that make spatial orientation difficult, and, in some cases, even impossible to achieve. This is where Spatial Disorientation takes place.\n\nWhile vertigo can literally mean dizziness, it is the human's failure to picture the position relative to the horizon that makes it a truly dangerous problem. This is basically the reason why spatial disorientation is one of the major concerns and issues in the aviation world. Further to my readings, \"statistics show that between 5% and 10% of all general aviation accidents can be attributed to spatial disorientation, 90% of which are fatal.\" (ref. AV8ER ON OCTOBER 4, 2009)\n\nMoreso, Spatial Disorientation has been considered a phenomenon and is one of the significant hazards in the industry. In fact, several major accidents involving pilot's spatial disorientation in large commercial airlines have caused attention to the international aviation safety community.\n\nSome flight incidents/reports concerning Spatial Disorientation\n\n \u2022 It is believed that world-famous singer, Jim Reeves, was suffering from spatial disorientation when his Beechcraft aircraft crashed in the Brentwood area of Nashville, Tennessee during a violent thunderstorm on Friday 31st July 1964, claiming the lives of both Reeves and his pianist Dean Manuel.\n \u2022 An accident near Nassenwil/Zurich, Switzerland on 10 January 2000, about 1756 local time, Crossair Flight 498, a Saab 340B carrying three crewmembers, seven passengers, took off from Unique Zurich Airport (ZRH), Switzerland in night instrument meteorological conditions.\n \u2022 Accident on 23 August 2000 about 1930 local time, Gulf Air Flight 72, an Airbus A320 carrying eight crewmembers and", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 216082, "pt_loc": 35133145, "pt_shuffle_idx": 167808484, "doc_index_f": 263060317, "doc_index_l": 263060319, "offset_f": 1187, "offset_l": 682, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 5, "pt_injection_len": 18, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [1088, 278, 683]} -{"pt_doc": "Question: To make a lion house cherry chocolate cake,\nAnswer: you'll need a package of devil's food or chocolate cake mix, a can of cherry pie filling, and 2 eggs.<|endoftext|> outsourcing American prosperity.\n\nThis damaging deed was done in 2004.

This is a good oral exercise, which brings the class back to the main discussion topics.\u00a0Occasionally, a \u201cclass secretary\u201d is in charge of taking\u00a0notes, and then posts in a class forum, separate from the Cultural forums, the list of topics that were\u00a0discussed, points that were made, and essential new vocabulary.\n\n\nAfter they post their first comments in their chosen topics, at the beginning of the week, the students are assigned to return on the forums multiple times and continue the conversation over many days. Since the focus moves promptly to a new type of questionnaire after a week, participation is very time sensitive. It is thus critical that instructors communicate well to coordinate both groups\u2019 participation in the forums. Instructors on each side of an intercultural exchange usually work within very different sets of constraints. For instance, language classes at MIT meet four times a week for 50 minutes, but our French partners meet usually only once a week, for two hours. The French students tend to have many class hours overall, but are not expected to do much homework outside of class. These differences show how tricky it can be to coordinate an exchange and work across cultures.\n\n\u00a0On the forums, students ask and answer questions, allude to the context, make hypotheses about their own culture, and react to their own classmates\u2019 comments. They agree, disagree, try to see both sides and reconcile different viewpoints. They bring into the conversation links to websites and images to support their point. I will briefly illustrate the types of interactions that take place on the forums, by following a short exchange around the answers about Suburbs/Banlieue mentioned earlier.[5]\n\nThe first posting by S., an American student, starts with an observation about the differences between the American and French answers. Then she makes a hypothesis about her own culture and about French culture, ending with a question addressed to the French group.\n\n\u201cIt seems like the suburbs have a more positive connotation in America. They may be boring, but they are safe homes for the wealthier classes. However, in France, the suburbs are full of poorer people, living difficult lives. I wonder if it has something to do with the individualism in America: every family wants their own land, with large yards, and a giant car that will be used to get from their suburban house to the city in rush hour every day. Wealthier Americans want the space they can get by living on the outside of the cities. However, in France, do all the wealthier people live in the center of the cities, pushing the poorer classes out to the suburbs?\u201d\n\nIn his response J., a French student, explains the French answers by connecting the expansion of poor suburbs to the French social system[6]: \u201cwe had to build cheap housing for people who could not afford their own houses.\u201d But he does not stop there. Interestingly, he then looks critically at his own culture. Reacting to the overall negative associations to word \u2018suburbs/banlieue\u2019 made by his own group, he notes that in fact there are, in France, suburbs with families which are not poor. He then concludes that the French answers went along with the way suburbs are commonly depicted in the medias, and reflected only a limited view of \u201cbanlieue\u201d.\n\nIn her next posting, S. draws from J.\u2019s way of looking at his own culture. It leads her to re-examine her own culture and realize that the American answers might also reflect only a partial view of \u2018surburbs\u2019. \u201cSo there are wealthier suburbs in France also, but that isn\u2019t what you immediately think of when you think of the suburbs? That\u2019s actually very interesting, because I think we do the opposite in America.\u201d A little further, she explains that there are in fact poor suburbs in the US, speculating: \u201cIt\u2019s interesting if both countries have both wealthy and poor suburbs, yet the French only associate the poor people with suburbs, and Americans only associate the rich people with suburbs.\u201d[7]\n\nThe different materials that students compare and discuss enable them to reveal their cultures and reflect about them. The questionnaires are just the starting point. Depending on the calendar, the groups can compare and discuss a variety of materials beyond the questionnaires, working for instance with statistics that support or contradict observations they have made so far about the two cultures. They can compare newspapers headlines and articles, films and their remakes, or the American and French websites of companies such as Starbucks or McDonald\u2019s[8]. They can also look at how commercials play on the representation of different cultural traits.\n\nOver the years, the Cultura methodology has remained the same. It is based on a constructivist approach where students collaboratively develop their understanding of another culture. Technology has evolved and many new modes of communication are now available, but we still find the asynchronous forums to be best suited to our purpose. Skype sessions can complement the online discussions, enabling students to meet face-to-face two or three times during the semester, but they do not replace the in-depth work that happens on the forums. They are also more difficult to organize across time zones.\n\n\nFinally, a note on the technology involved in setting up a Cultura exchange: to run a Cultura exchange, you need to be able to create and post questionnaires, collect and post the answers, and open the corresponding forums for the students. We encourage you to identify IT support within your school to see what options are best for your context.\n\nOne option consists in using some of the freely available online tools, such as Google forms, to create your questionnaires. This is what was used for the spring 2014 exchange, mentioned earlier. Once collected, the answers were published on a WordPress blog, where students could post their comments.\n\nWe have developed at MIT a Drupal based open source Exchange Tool to enable instructors to administer exchanges: create questionnaires, post answers and open corresponding forums automatically in one place. It can be found at and needs to be installed on your school server with the help of IT support.\n\nWe are currently exploring the option of making the Exchange Tool available through an independent hosting service. It would have the advantage of being already installed, and would just require registration on the part of prospective users.\n\nCheck the Cultura website to find articles, access the archives, check the Educator\u2019s guide, read about the different Cultura modules and Student assignments. Please do not hesitate to send us your questions and comments.\n\n\n[1] Cultura was developed at MIT in 1997 by a team of three French language instructors, G.Furstenberg, S. Levet and S. Waryn.

Occupying part of the northern Yucat\u00e1n Peninsula, it is bounded to the north by the Gulf of Mexico, to the east and southeast by the state of Quintana Roo, and to the southwest and west by the state of Campeche. The state capital and chief commercial centre is M\u00e9rida.\n\nThe state\u2019s relief includes coastal wetlands, semiarid hills and plains, and limestone lowlands dotted with cenotes (water-filled sinkholes). In pre-Hispanic times the peninsula was an Olmec and Maya cultural hearth, as evidenced by the monumental ruins of Chich\u00e9n Itz\u00e1 and Uxmal; each has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, in 1988 and 1996, respectively. Among the other numerous ruined cities are Chumul, Ek Balam, and Sayil. Strong resistance to the Spanish conquest lasted in the area from 1527 until the 1540s. Yucat\u00e1n occupied the entire peninsula when it became a state in 1824, but following a series of insurrections, its territory was reduced with the loss of Campeche in 1857 (ratified in 1858) and Quintana Roo in 1902. Later boundary changes reduced the state to its present size.\n\nFrom the 1880s until the 1950s", "base_doc": " with an oral recall of what was discussed during the previous session. This is a good oral exercise, which brings the class back to the main discussion topics.\u00a0Occasionally, a \u201cclass secretary\u201d is in charge of taking\u00a0notes, and then posts in a class forum, separate from the Cultural forums, the list of topics that were\u00a0discussed, points that were made, and essential new vocabulary.\n\n\nAfter they post their first comments in their chosen topics, at the beginning of the week, the students are assigned to return on the forums multiple times and continue the conversation over many days. Since the focus moves promptly to a new type of questionnaire after a week, participation is very time sensitive. It is thus critical that instructors communicate well to coordinate both groups\u2019 participation in the forums. Instructors on each side of an intercultural exchange usually work within very different sets of constraints. For instance, language classes at MIT meet four times a week for 50 minutes, but our French partners meet usually only once a week, for two hours. The French students tend to have many class hours overall, but are not expected to do much homework outside of class. These differences show how tricky it can be to coordinate an exchange and work across cultures.\n\n\u00a0On the forums, students ask and answer questions, allude to the context, make hypotheses about their own culture, and react to their own classmates\u2019 comments. They agree, disagree, try to see both sides and reconcile different viewpoints. They bring into the conversation links to websites and images to support their point. I will briefly illustrate the types of interactions that take place on the forums, by following a short exchange around the answers about Suburbs/Banlieue mentioned earlier.[5]\n\nThe first posting by S., an American student, starts with an observation about the differences between the American and French answers. Then she makes a hypothesis about her own culture and about French culture, ending with a question addressed to the French group.\n\n\u201cIt seems like the suburbs have a more positive connotation in America. They may be boring, but they are safe homes for the wealthier classes. However, in France, the suburbs are full of poorer people, living difficult lives. I wonder if it has something to do with the individualism in America: every family wants their own land, with large yards, and a giant car that will be used to get from their suburban house to the city in rush hour every day. Wealthier Americans want the space they can get by living on the outside of the cities. However, in France, do all the wealthier people live in the center of the cities, pushing the poorer classes out to the suburbs?\u201d\n\nIn his response J., a French student, explains the French answers by connecting the expansion of poor suburbs to the French social system[6]: \u201cwe had to build cheap housing for people who could not afford their own houses.\u201d But he does not stop there. Interestingly, he then looks critically at his own culture. Reacting to the overall negative associations to word \u2018suburbs/banlieue\u2019 made by his own group, he notes that in fact there are, in France, suburbs with families which are not poor. He then concludes that the French answers went along with the way suburbs are commonly depicted in the medias, and reflected only a limited view of \u201cbanlieue\u201d.\n\nIn her next posting, S. draws from J.\u2019s way of looking at his own culture. It leads her to re-examine her own culture and realize that the American answers might also reflect only a partial view of \u2018surburbs\u2019. \u201cSo there are wealthier suburbs in France also, but that isn\u2019t what you immediately think of when you think of the suburbs? That\u2019s actually very interesting, because I think we do the opposite in America.\u201d A little further, she explains that there are in fact poor suburbs in the US, speculating: \u201cIt\u2019s interesting if both countries have both wealthy and poor suburbs, yet the French only associate the poor people with suburbs, and Americans only associate the rich people with suburbs.\u201d[7]\n\nThe different materials that students compare and discuss enable them to reveal their cultures and reflect about them. The questionnaires are just the starting point. Depending on the calendar, the groups can compare and discuss a variety of materials beyond the questionnaires, working for instance with statistics that support or contradict observations they have made so far about the two cultures. They can compare newspapers headlines and articles, films and their remakes, or the American and French websites of companies such as Starbucks or McDonald\u2019s[8]. They can also look at how commercials play on the representation of different cultural traits.\n\nOver the years, the Cultura methodology has remained the same. It is based on a constructivist approach where students collaboratively develop their understanding of another culture. Technology has evolved and many new modes of communication are now available, but we still find the asynchronous forums to be best suited to our purpose. Skype sessions can complement the online discussions, enabling students to meet face-to-face two or three times during the semester, but they do not replace the in-depth work that happens on the forums. They are also more difficult to organize across time zones.\n\n\nFinally, a note on the technology involved in setting up a Cultura exchange: to run a Cultura exchange, you need to be able to create and post questionnaires, collect and post the answers, and open the corresponding forums for the students. We encourage you to identify IT support within your school to see what options are best for your context.\n\nOne option consists in using some of the freely available online tools, such as Google forms, to create your questionnaires. This is what was used for the spring 2014 exchange, mentioned earlier. Once collected, the answers were published on a WordPress blog, where students could post their comments.\n\nWe have developed at MIT a Drupal based open source Exchange Tool to enable instructors to administer exchanges: create questionnaires, post answers and open corresponding forums automatically in one place. It can be found at and needs to be installed on your school server with the help of IT support.\n\nWe are currently exploring the option of making the Exchange Tool available through an independent hosting service. It would have the advantage of being already installed, and would just require registration on the part of prospective users.\n\nCheck the Cultura website to find articles, access the archives, check the Educator\u2019s guide, read about the different Cultura modules and Student assignments. Please do not hesitate to send us your questions and comments.\n\n\n[1] Cultura was developed at MIT in 1997 by a team of three French language instructors, G.Furstenberg, S. Levet and S. Waryn.

Yeasts have become increasingly significant as pathogens in all fields of medicine. This is particularly true of those which are saprophytes (they live by eating dead tissue instead of living tissue), because of their opportunistic behavior towards the altered/compromised condition of their host. Fungi are part of the world of plants, not bacteria, and there are about 100,000 distinct types of them. 50 types cause disease in humans. In people they are common, and usually harmless companions of our skin tissues, and live as inhabitants of our mucous membranes in our mouth, vaginal tract etc. as symbiotic saprophytes. The outbreaks of acute episodes where these fungi \"bloom and take over\" are not due to a change in the fungi, (they are with us all the time in limited numbers) but due to a change in the hosts' immunologic defense mechanisms. Someone who is compromised by radiation treatments, antibiotic therapy, AIDS/HIV, corticosteroid treatment etc. has a lowered ability to keep them in check, and is a prime candidate to have an outbreak of Candida.\n\nYeast infections such as Candida were recognized centuries ago as an indicator of much larger underlying diseases such as diabetes mellitus, malignant tumors, and chronic infections. (Sort of the miners canary.) When antibiotics are used, there is a flip-flop in the balance of the natural occurring flora in the mouth (and elsewhere) where the normal flora is damaged by the antibiotic therapy to the advantage of the fungus, which then blooms. Damage to the mucus membranes and to the salivary glands also allow for Candida colonization. Dry mouth (xerostomia), upsets the balance of microorganisms in the oral cavity. When the delicate balance of normal and abnormal bacteria is disturbed, an overgrowth of this fungus may occur.\n\nUsing an extreme example, such as a person with HIV/AIDS, Candidiasis begins in the oral cavity, then has escalating symptoms in the esophagus and descending into the gastrointestinal tract, finally into organ mycosis and when in the blood system, it is finally called Candida sepsis. At this late stage it can be deadly. The clinical picture of Candida appears as white raised spots/areas which have underneath an infected red base. Left unchecked by antifungal drugs it can actually ecome several millimeters thick. The whitish portion is not firmly attached to the underlying tissue, and can actually be wiped or brushed off. Candida is commonly called thrush, and if left unchecked for a period in the mouth, it can spread to the pharynx and the esophagus and cause severe symptoms such as erosions and ulcerations of the tissues.\n\n\nDoctors can typically diagnose Candidiasis simply by looking in the mouth or the back of the throat, but a sampling of the white overgrowth may be scraped easily from the surface and sent to a lab for positive identification. Classic symptoms of oral Candidiasis include the appearance of whitish, velvety plaques on the mucous membranes of the mouth and tongue. If the whitish material is scraped away, the base may be red (erythematous) with pinpoint bleeding. More general symptoms of candida infection include burning pain in the mouth or throat, altered taste (especially when eating spicy or sweet foods), and difficulty swallowing. The corners of the mouth may also become chapped, cracked, and sore (angular cheilitis). If the immune system has been severely compromised, the infection may cover much of the surface of the mouth and tongue, and it may spread to the esophagus. Esophageal candidiasis, which is much more common in people with suppressed immune systems, occurs deep in the throat, and cannot always be seen during an oral examination. An endoscope is commonly used to identify this type of Candidiasis. In its esophageal form, Candidiasis can cause chest pain, as well as pain and difficulty in swallowing. Once the Candida fungus migrates past the gastrointestinal tract, it can become established in other major organs such as the lungs and kidneys. Left untreated, it can even cause death. When Candida progresses to the point where it is in the bloodstream, it is referred to as Candida sepsis. At this stage it is hard to treat and recovery is extremely difficult. The death rate from late stage disseminated Candidiasis may reach seventy percent. The importance of treating it in its early stages cannot be overstated.\n\nCandida overgrowth may also cause a condition called Intestinal Hyper-Permeability, more commonly know as Leaky Gut Syndrome (LGS). This condition occurs when the wall of the gastrointestinal tract is damaged. The Candida change form, creating rhizoids, root like structures that break the intestinal walls. A healthy intestinal wall will allow only nutrients to enter bloodstream, but when it is damaged, larger molecules such as incompletely digested fats, proteins, and toxins may also slip through. The body recognizes these substances as foreign and forms antibodies to them, causing the patient to suddenly become allergic to foods they would previously been able to eat without a problem. LGS may also lead to environmental allergies, causing the patient to respond to inhalants in their general environment. The patient may also form antibodies to proteins similar to, or the same as, human proteins This can lead the immune system to attack parts of the patient's own body. With LGS, vitamin and mineral deficiencies are common because the patient lacks the ability to move minerals and vitamins from the gut to the blood. When the Candida becomes controlled and the gut has healed, food allergies will remain until antibodies to that food have been eliminated.\n\nAntifungal agents are vital to the control of candidiasis. These can be either systemic or topical. In selecting a topical oral antifungal agent, the patient's degree of xerostomia and possible inability to dissolve a lozenge must be considered, as well as the level of oral hygiene and the risk associated with the high levels of sucrose in topical preparations. Topical antifungal agents include nystatin and clotrimazole (or other closely related agents), either of which may be applied directly to the oral lesions as a dissolving lozenge or in a liquid wash. Infections that are resistant to those agents, or that have already disseminated, are treated with IV medications such as Amphotericin B, Ketoconazole, Itraconazole, and some oral antifungal agents such as Fluconazole (Diflucan). These are more potent drugs, and are more likely to cause side effects, including stomach upset, diarrhea, nausea, and elevated liver enzymes.\n\nWhile \"natural\" or homeopathic remedies exist which may alleviate Candida outbreaks, never self treat Candida infections with a health store remedy without consulting your doctor first. These health store remedies are not as potent as prescription medication, and may not be as effective for those who have had radiation therapy or chemotherapy. One of these types of treatments is gentian violet, a dye made from coal tar that may be purchased from some pharmacies, health food stores, and other places where alternative therapies are sold. The dye is applied by using a cotton swab to coat the Candida blotches. It is best to avoid swallowing the dye, as it can cause upset stomach. Gentian violet can also stain the inside of the mouth, but this fades over time.\n\nYour doctor should always be consulted, as a delay in complete control of the Candida \"bloom\" can allow it to spread to further areas of the body. Though potentially serious, prescription antifungal agents can quickly eradicate a Candida infection.<|endoftext|>Question: To wash the rubber rings made from the bike inner tube.\nAnswer: Toss the rubber rings into a bowl with soapy water and wash using hands.

They lose their charm. Usually to the eighth plague of Egypt, rain of tourists, who are a lot harder to clean up than frogs since they are 50% plastic and clothing fibers.\n\nPeople have an energy. The presence of people is a distinctly loud energy. When it disappears there is a void which is filled through osmosis by a quiet energy. The energy of emptiness. It's like the low buzz of an electric wire. When it is present in a normally crowded place we are put on edge by that energy. It has invaded a space that doesn't belong to it. The energy of emptiness is a lot more alien to us than the energy of people.\n\nArt by Arthur Chaumay\n\"Empty_Map\" is the classification label of a bizarre phenomenon that could occur in post-apocalyptic settings, modern settings, but really in any kind of setting. It's a large cityscape that is in tip-top condition, as if under permanent maintenance and impervious to erosion. In Empty_Map, it is always sunny but not warm, there is never any wind, and there is always the sound of cicadas. It is also completely and utterly devoid of any animals or humans. You can hear those cicadas, but you'll never see them.\n\nEmpty_Map does not look as if it has been recently used or left behind in a hurry. There's no signs of a sudden immaterialisation of the populace, like car crashes or clothing piles or anything like that. It's perfectly orderly, dollhouse-organised. Clothing is all folded and in drawers, sorted by colour. Cars are all perfectly parked. If you find a basketball court, the ball is sitting still exactly in the middle of the court.\n\nEmpty_Map has a kind of homeostasis mechanism. If you change something, like move the ball, leave a door open, something like that, it will seemingly have reset when you come back to it. When you alter something from its original configuration, it'll return to it once you are either far enough away, asleep, or otherwise not observing it for a prolonged period of time. If you take something from Empty_Map outside of it, the same rules apply, but the unobserved time it needs to disappear is a lot shorter. Any dead bodies in Empty_Map disappear as soon as you take your eyes off them, but bloodstains will require standard ignoring time to vanish.\n\nArt by Arthur Chaumay\nWhen you create a serious imbalance in Empty_Map, either by causing mass disorder or staying there for too long, it'll try to remove you actively.\n\nChambermaids are called this because they are kind of Empty_Map's maintenance crew. They don't speak, but they have to look at each other to communicate it seems. They'll show up randomly outside of your immediate field of observation. They have guns. They will shoot you with their guns. Then you'll vanish as stated above. If you kill them, they die and bleed like normal humans. But they'll vanish too. They wear white raincoats and hazard masks. Touching them, alive or dead, will give you a severe electric shock.\n\nArt by Yun Ling\nEmpty_Map can come into existence spontaneously in a place where it shouldn't be, like in a desert. Or maybe, an area could have been converted into an Empty_Map version of itself: you could be walking through a derelict post-apocalyptic ruin, and suddenly stand at the border of a perfect and pristine Empty_Map.\n\nWhat is Empty_Map? A reality glitch? An experiment of some kind, either being conducted on it, in it, or by it? A sort of weapon? The fallout zone of something? An alien lifeform?\u00a0\n\nHard to tell.

It's a large cityscape that is in tip-top condition, as if under permanent maintenance and impervious to erosion. In Empty_Map, it is always sunny but not warm, there is never any wind, and there is always the sound of cicadas. It is also completely and utterly devoid of any animals or humans. You can hear those cicadas, but you'll never see them.\n\nEmpty_Map does not look as if it has been recently used or left behind in a hurry. There's no signs of a sudden immaterialisation of the populace, like car crashes or clothing piles or anything like that. It's perfectly orderly, dollhouse-organised. Clothing is all folded and in drawers, sorted by colour. Cars are all perfectly parked. If you find a basketball court, the ball is sitting still exactly in the middle of the court.\n\nEmpty_Map has a kind of homeostasis mechanism. If you change something, like move the ball, leave a door open, something like that, it will seemingly have reset when you come back to it. When you alter something from its original configuration, it'll return to it once you are either far enough away, asleep, or otherwise not observing it for a prolonged period of time. If you take something from Empty_Map outside of it, the same rules apply, but the unobserved time it needs to disappear is a lot shorter. Any dead bodies in Empty_Map disappear as soon as you take your eyes off them, but bloodstains will require standard ignoring time to vanish.\n\nArt by Arthur Chaumay\nWhen you create a serious imbalance in Empty_Map, either by causing mass disorder or staying there for too long, it'll try to remove you actively.\n\nChambermaids are called this because they are kind of Empty_Map's maintenance crew. They don't speak, but they have to look at each other to communicate it seems. They'll show up randomly outside of your immediate field of observation. They have guns. They will shoot you with their guns. Then you'll vanish as stated above. If you kill them, they die and bleed like normal humans. But they'll vanish too. They wear white raincoats and hazard masks. Touching them, alive or dead, will give you a severe electric shock.\n\nArt by Yun Ling\nEmpty_Map can come into existence spontaneously in a place where it shouldn't be, like in a desert. Or maybe, an area could have been converted into an Empty_Map version of itself: you could be walking through a derelict post-apocalyptic ruin, and suddenly stand at the border of a perfect and pristine Empty_Map.\n\nWhat is Empty_Map? A reality glitch? An experiment of some kind, either being conducted on it, in it, or by it? A sort of weapon? The fallout zone of something? An alien lifeform?\u00a0\n\nHard to tell. There's just nothing to go on, really. It's just there.

What has gone wrong is that we've failed to recognize the difference between earned income and unearned income. Is it really fair for gamblers on Wall Street to pay a 15 percent rate when they make a winning investment, and an honest working person _ a bricklayer for example _ may pay an equal or higher tax on their wages than a gambler? That's absolute absurdity.\n\nRates may have to be changed, but we also need to look at what is taxed, and how. Dividend income should be taxed at the same rate as ordinary income. As for capital gains, there ought to be some distinction between capital made by people who start businesses, and contribute value to society, and capital made by gamblers on Wall Street, some of whom win. Earned capital income should carry the regular dividend rate, but capital income gains by trading, and particularly short-term trading, should pay a higher tax, even than the present ordinary income rate.\n\nQ: What's your take on the Occupy movement?\n\nA: I'm happy to say that my current income puts me in the 99 percent group. So maybe I'm not so happy, I don't know.\n\nThis movement has brought to the surface some very serious problems in our country about disparities in opportunity and income. So many young people are having a terrible time getting a job.\n\nYoung people have great idealism, and the Occupy movement has been a bit unrealistic at times. So what? I can't imagine a worse America if our younger generation didn't have great idealism. I salute them for their enthusiasm, and their mission.\n\nThe negative side is that they just pushed too hard for too long. It's very difficult for any movement without any seeming leadership _ other than a good idea _ to have any sense of taste or judgment. Who's to say, `This is going too far'? In some places, it's just gone on too long, and it's been too disruptive.

It's something we think of as providing capital for new businesses, that will enable people to finance new companies or add to the capital of existing companies. We do that to the tune of about $200 billion a year in financing through Wall Street, or through the financial system. And yet we do some $40 trillion worth of trading every year.

You can lose a lot. If you invest in stocks with a five-year outlook, I would think it is highly debatable if you should do that. You have to think about more than just the probabilities of a market crash. You have to consider the consequences for your savings, and whether you'd be decimated.\n\nAs for bonds, with interest rates and yields so low now, you just have to take those for what they are _ a lot lower than what they have been historically.\n\nWith the economy, I'm cautious.

A recent survey of global fortune 2000 companies found -\n\n \u2022 93% of companies use open source for non-commercial or internal reasons.\n \u2022 79% use open source for commercial reasons.\n \u2022 69% contribute code upstream.\n \u2022 60% have created their own open source projects.\n\nWhy does open source software achieve this degree of market penetration amongst leading companies?\n\nCost and Deployment\n\nOpen source software is free from licensing costs. This doesn't mean that it is free from deployment, training, or maintenance costs, of course, but it does mean that in most markets costs can be significantly lower. It also means that the funding associated with the licensing and other costs (for example multi-user fees, administration fees and upgrade costs) of commercial-proprietary software can be made available for other purposes - such as developing and maintaining in-house capacity and expertise.\n\nTry Before You Buy\n\nOpen source software typically costs nothing to try. This allows a potential deployer to thoroughly test applicability and fit for purpose before formal adoption. Many open source projects provide easily downloadable software as well as CDs and USBs for both testing and installation.\n\nFast deployment and time to market\n\n\"Test driving\" before procurement in this way can save significant time to deployment. It's often much faster to get a solution based on open source software up and running.\n\nQuality, Stability and Suitability\n\nProprietary software is often based around the vision and ideas of a particular company. This can be a little \"hit or miss\". Open source software, fed and driven by community requirements is often closer to the needs of the individuals and entities using it. Users of open source software have the freedom to make modifications to suit their requirements more closely. Contributing these modifications back to the community allows them to be adopted - and maintained - by the community of support, rather than remaining a burden on the developer.\n\n\nWhen bugs are identified in commercial proprietary software, there's nothing to do but wait for the original developers to fix them. Furthermore, commercial vendors are often driven by sales to prioritize new features rather than fixing existing problems.\n\nOpen source software is different. Once a bug is identified, anyone with the expertise and resources can provide a fix.\n\nReliability and Elegance\n\nOpen source software is peer reviewed by merit-based open source communities, leading to greater reliability. Peer review and peer pressure in open source communities often leads to reduction in the complexity of code, making it easier to maintain. Elegance is not as obviously an objective of commercial proprietary code.\n\n\nUsers of proprietary software often face a tension between the day to day needs of their business, and their vendor's need to develop a regular revenue stream. Often this tension is expressed in the provision of unsought-for upgrades. The tension -termed vendor push - effectively requires the user of proprietary software to fit their IT strategy to the financial needs of their supplier. The history of the software industry shows a tendency to develop near-monopolies which then act to force upgrades onto users - producing high profits but less user satisfaction. A user that resists an upgrade will eventually find they are using unsupported software. Open source communities take a different approach, often offering support for two or more recent versions of software. Such communities proceed at their own pace in a more collaborative manner.\n\nSecurity, Auditability and Privacy\n\nAnyone can view the source code of open source software, as the name suggests. In addition to the early identification of general defects, this enables the identification and remediation of defects specifically impacting security. Community driven peer review and openness trump \"security by obscurity\".\n\nAuditability and Privacy\nAuditabilty is of growing importance in a world increasingly concerned not only with security, but also the privacy of users data. Open source code allows for external audit of software - ensuring compliance with software standards and legal requirements. Proprietary software essentially asks for a leap of faith.\n\nCustomization, Innovation and Reach\n\nProprietary software can only be adapted or customised within parameters set out by the software vendor. Open source software can be customised by anyone with sufficient resources and skill. This doesn't necessarily imply a \"do it yourself\" approach - commercially provided enhancements to open source code are common. Open source software can be adapted to meet the specific needs of the user in ways that proprietary software cannot. Open source communities are also highly creative and innovative.\n\nIt makes sense to play any adaptations back into the main code release as soon as possible.

The top rate for dividends and long-term capital gains is historically low at 15 percent, as a result of the extension of Bush era tax cuts that Congress and President Barack Obama agreed to a year ago. In contrast, top earners pay 35 percent on regular income.

So you can go with the square flat, a deep view flap any where in between, and that won't really have too much in effect on how you printer envelopes. One thing that will have a large effect on this process is the size of the envelope. Most printers can't handle anything smaller than 45 inches, so R S V, P envelopes or four of our size envelopes are gonna fall below that level and the extra difficult to print. It doesn't mean that we're not workarounds, which we'll discuss in our course, of course, but it does mean that you'll have to pay special attention to those envelopes, and you might be better off printing on larger sizes. Make sure you check the general guidelines for your printer before you purchased just to see if they could handle those sides as well or not in our last point here is that you should always order plenty of extra envelopes if you're printing in house. If you outsource this, they are going through extras. I promise you one of the questions I got in preparation for this course waas how to avoid wasting so Maney trial friends. And the truth is that there's not really a way to do this. I'm gonna show you some ways in our course how to cut down on this a little bit. But there's always gonna be a little bit of trial and error. I order about 15% extra. And if I'm putting on small envelopes like the four bars that we mentioned, I always order at least 20 to 25 extra. Sometimes this is way more than we need, and sometimes we need every last one because your printers could be a little temperamental sometimes. And just in case you didn't watch the intro, we have announced our new course called Power in Pricing, which is a pricing course specifically for stationary designers. Where we talk about how we account for all those extra envelopes that were ordering and the time that we spend printing those envelopes in house on and how you make sure to charge your clients enough to cover all of the little things that are included in that so make sure you check out the link in your class notes to get on the weightless for power in pricing, which will be coming out later this year. 6. Designs that Work Well: I recommend keeping things simple. As you start out in the world of envelope printing, you officially can dio pretty much anything you want. But some designs are going to cause more issues than others to start. I want to clarify that this is the front of the envelope in this part, with the flap is considered the best. That's the terminology will be using for this course. Designs that go from the front over the flap onto the back are actually pretty simple to pull off. If you haven't inkjet printer something that entirely on the back with the flat printed can be a little bit more difficult. For the record, he should never designed something that does. Both of these things goes from the front over the flap and then also continues over the flat onto the back of the envelope. This will be almost impossible for yourself or any commercial printer to print, because you have to run to separate runs and line them up absolutely perfectly over the flat. So if you're going to do something on both sides, just separate those designs. You could do something like this and then do something totally different on the back, but as long as they don't connect, you'll be fine. I try to avoid putting super straight lines and Sarah fonts really close to the edge of the envelope. Home printers can have a tendency apparent. The tiny is big crooked, no matter what you do. But also envelopes themselves are not always straight. Sometimes we'll print something that measures to be a perfect straight line, but it looks a little crooked to the I because the envelope fold is not actually straight. So if you keep the straight lines away from the edges of the envelope, then it helps with the visual effect that your lines air so straight and not crooked. Just something as simple as adding a little design element. That's not a perfect line, or I love to do this round return address, which also helps it not be confused with the main address on the back and go to the return address instead of the main address. Any sort of individual elements on the front of the envelope like this you little bony sketch are completely fine and actually pretty easy to pull off. Make sure you check out our school share course on creating unique envelopes for better guidelines on where you should place those designs to avoid any postal issues that pretty much anything goes here, got little flower there, it's, and even all these little squares is actually not a super difficult print. I would steer clear of any design that physically bleeds off the edge when you first start out, or even or even off the edge of the flap like this. We will cover those in the envelope printing course, though the simplest thing to start out with is just your name and address. But you can always play with fonts and sizes and layouts to make that still interesting and unique. Now let you cover a little bit about the designs that work well, I'll show you how to set up your file. 7. Setting up Files: when I collected questions for this course, a few of you asked about date emerging actually already have a course on this on YouTube for free. So please check that out. It's linked below. The quick answer to your main question was, No, I definitely do not type each individual address by itself, especially when it comes to something like this. We've got different fonts. We've gotta Tallix. We've got something spaced out differently that would take forever. So I do use the data, merge tool in in design in conduction with Google Sheets or Excel to get a document that looks like this. See how it's got every address formatted in the same way on each page. But how do you set this whole document up correctly, toe Actually print out for you down your data. Merge. We'll cover that now. First, you'll want to ask yourself if you're putting open flat or close laugh, I print open flat. If I'm using my inkjet printer. Only I friend Open flap. If I want to design, that goes onto the flap from the front to the back. I also print open flat if I want to prevent that. If I want to print my return and guest address in one go. Alternatively, I print close slab if I'm Onley printing the return address if I'm printing on my laser printer or if I'm printing something that believes off of the flat onto the back of the envelope. If you're simply setting out files to send to a printer, ask them which way they like things to go. That's we'll need to measure or envelope size and a seven envelope close is five and 1/4 by seven and 1/4 inches the size of Annie Simon. Envelope Open will depend on the manufacturer about on blue and the flat shape as you would be. I was even see their three differences between the overall size, depending on the flat shape and the manufacturer. I measure this one any measure from the bottom all the way to the tip, and I'm gonna get about 9.75 This is my favorite manufacturer, who I have linked in your notes for you. So we'll keep nine and 3/4 as our measurement when we get onto the computer. Now that we have that measurement will create our pages in in design If you're putting a single design for return addresses, for instance, then will typically go directly from illustrator just because that's where I design all of my pieces. Initially, when printing variable addresses I always used in design due to that simple date emerge feature, can you print variable addresses from illustrator? Yeah, but it is much harder. So I just picked in design. So we'll open up in design and will create a new document with one page That's the total size of your open envelope. Remember, in this case that waas 7.25 by 9.75 inches, I actually saved my typical sizes into documents and named, You know, whatever manufacturer the envelope is from and size, so I don't have to measure it every time. None of these other settings really matter too much, so I just leave them as is. If you prefer something different, then go for it. Your document is pretty much ready to go, so it's time to add in your data merge that that he was linked below. So check it out. When you have time as a reminder, you can add static elements like we have just copied in this random. Okay, Here, Um, and the return address. You can do that on the date emerge. Or you could do it via master pages, which is actually what I recommend. So you going here and you add it to your a master, Then you come down and it's no on every single page. We also double return addresses on some of them because that's not how he did it. The benefit of this is if you need to edit something. For instance, if we decided we didn't like this bouquet facing this way and we wanted to change the way that it was facing, it'll taint on every single page. Now, a lot of the time when you're doing addresses, you have to do some formatting like I had to go in here and separate these names on the two lines because they were too long to be on one line together. So if I've gone ahead and done that for 100 50 pages, then I don't want to have to go through and actually rotate this little flower on every single page as well. So I can just do anything that static via the massive age section, and then whatever I decided to dio, maybe I'll", "base_doc": " thing that will happen, in fact, is the flat shapes.

And the truth is that there's not really a way to do this. I'm gonna show you some ways in our course how to cut down on this a little bit. But there's always gonna be a little bit of trial and error. I order about 15% extra. And if I'm putting on small envelopes like the four bars that we mentioned, I always order at least 20 to 25 extra. Sometimes this is way more than we need, and sometimes we need every last one because your printers could be a little temperamental sometimes. And just in case you didn't watch the intro, we have announced our new course called Power in Pricing, which is a pricing course specifically for stationary designers. Where we talk about how we account for all those extra envelopes that were ordering and the time that we spend printing those envelopes in house on and how you make sure to charge your clients enough to cover all of the little things that are included in that so make sure you check out the link in your class notes to get on the weightless for power in pricing, which will be coming out later this year. 6. Designs that Work Well: I recommend keeping things simple. As you start out in the world of envelope printing, you officially can dio pretty much anything you want. But some designs are going to cause more issues than others to start. I want to clarify that this is the front of the envelope in this part, with the flap is considered the best. That's the terminology will be using for this course. Designs that go from the front over the flap onto the back are actually pretty simple to pull off. If you haven't inkjet printer something that entirely on the back with the flat printed can be a little bit more difficult. For the record, he should never designed something that does. Both of these things goes from the front over the flap and then also continues over the flat onto the back of the envelope. This will be almost impossible for yourself or any commercial printer to print, because you have to run to separate runs and line them up absolutely perfectly over the flat. So if you're going to do something on both sides, just separate those designs. You could do something like this and then do something totally different on the back, but as long as they don't connect, you'll be fine. I try to avoid putting super straight lines and Sarah fonts really close to the edge of the envelope. Home printers can have a tendency apparent. The tiny is big crooked, no matter what you do. But also envelopes themselves are not always straight. Sometimes we'll print something that measures to be a perfect straight line, but it looks a little crooked to the I because the envelope fold is not actually straight. So if you keep the straight lines away from the edges of the envelope, then it helps with the visual effect that your lines air so straight and not crooked. Just something as simple as adding a little design element. That's not a perfect line, or I love to do this round return address, which also helps it not be confused with the main address on the back and go to the return address instead of the main address. Any sort of individual elements on the front of the envelope like this you little bony sketch are completely fine and actually pretty easy to pull off. Make sure you check out our school share course on creating unique envelopes for better guidelines on where you should place those designs to avoid any postal issues that pretty much anything goes here, got little flower there, it's, and even all these little squares is actually not a super difficult print. I would steer clear of any design that physically bleeds off the edge when you first start out, or even or even off the edge of the flap like this. We will cover those in the envelope printing course, though the simplest thing to start out with is just your name and address. But you can always play with fonts and sizes and layouts to make that still interesting and unique. Now let you cover a little bit about the designs that work well, I'll show you how to set up your file. 7. Setting up Files: when I collected questions for this course, a few of you asked about date emerging actually already have a course on this on YouTube for free. So please check that out. It's linked below. The quick answer to your main question was, No, I definitely do not type each individual address by itself, especially when it comes to something like this. We've got different fonts. We've gotta Tallix. We've got something spaced out differently that would take forever. So I do use the data, merge tool in in design in conduction with Google Sheets or Excel to get a document that looks like this. See how it's got every address formatted in the same way on each page. But how do you set this whole document up correctly, toe Actually print out for you down your data. Merge. We'll cover that now. First, you'll want to ask yourself if you're putting open flat or close laugh, I print open flat. If I'm using my inkjet printer. Only I friend Open flap. If I want to design, that goes onto the flap from the front to the back. I also print open flat if I want to prevent that. If I want to print my return and guest address in one go. Alternatively, I print close slab if I'm Onley printing the return address if I'm printing on my laser printer or if I'm printing something that believes off of the flat onto the back of the envelope. If you're simply setting out files to send to a printer, ask them which way they like things to go. That's we'll need to measure or envelope size and a seven envelope close is five and 1/4 by seven and 1/4 inches the size of Annie Simon. Envelope Open will depend on the manufacturer about on blue and the flat shape as you would be. I was even see their three differences between the overall size, depending on the flat shape and the manufacturer. I measure this one any measure from the bottom all the way to the tip, and I'm gonna get about 9.75 This is my favorite manufacturer, who I have linked in your notes for you. So we'll keep nine and 3/4 as our measurement when we get onto the computer. Now that we have that measurement will create our pages in in design If you're putting a single design for return addresses, for instance, then will typically go directly from illustrator just because that's where I design all of my pieces. Initially, when printing variable addresses I always used in design due to that simple date emerge feature, can you print variable addresses from illustrator? Yeah, but it is much harder. So I just picked in design. So we'll open up in design and will create a new document with one page That's the total size of your open envelope. Remember, in this case that waas 7.25 by 9.75 inches, I actually saved my typical sizes into documents and named, You know, whatever manufacturer the envelope is from and size, so I don't have to measure it every time. None of these other settings really matter too much, so I just leave them as is. If you prefer something different, then go for it. Your document is pretty much ready to go, so it's time to add in your data merge that that he was linked below. So check it out. When you have time as a reminder, you can add static elements like we have just copied in this random. Okay, Here, Um, and the return address. You can do that on the date emerge. Or you could do it via master pages, which is actually what I recommend. So you going here and you add it to your a master, Then you come down and it's no on every single page. We also double return addresses on some of them because that's not how he did it. The benefit of this is if you need to edit something. For instance, if we decided we didn't like this bouquet facing this way and we wanted to change the way that it was facing, it'll taint on every single page. Now, a lot of the time when you're doing addresses, you have to do some formatting like I had to go in here and separate these names on the two lines because they were too long to be on one line together. So if I've gone ahead and done that for 100 50 pages, then I don't want to have to go through and actually rotate this little flower on every single page as well. So I can just do anything that static via the massive age section, and then whatever I decided to dio, maybe I'll make it a little smaller, goes ahead and applies on every single page, so you can see that, and then you don't have to go back and reform at all of your address strangers that you", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 227534, "pt_loc": 663821, "pt_shuffle_idx": 194464238, "doc_index_f": 304846718, "doc_index_l": 304846718, "offset_f": 4138, "offset_l": 6186, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 40, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": "Question: How long do butter cookies stay good after making them?\nAnswer: Butter cookies should be consumed within 4-5 days after they're made.<|endoftext|> for the sample at all.28 29 Most of the interviews took place within a year after birth, but some studies had longer intervals, and in two studies, women were interviewed up to 10 or 20 years after birth.11 31 One study did not identify a time interval between the index birth and the interview.32 Thirty-nine of the women gave birth at home, four in a primary care unit and 51 in hospital.

A number of subthemes were identified within each of the three main themes, which are listed on table 2.\n\nTable 2\n\nThemes, subthemes and studies contributing.\n\nMaintaining self-confidence in early labour\n\nThis theme presents women\u2019s experiences when they realised that they were in labour. The accounts indicated that women knew when they were in labour and most preferred to wait calmly for progress, maintaining confidence by keeping a familiar routine and environment.\n\nExperiencing the start of labour\n\nWomen described their feelings when they realised that they were in early labour. Some felt excited and others described a lovely feeling, comparing it to Christmas13 (p.\u00a0372). A mixture of feelings emanated from the data at this time, including excitement, happiness, calm, sometimes mixed with apprehension and anxiety.3 11 33\n\nWomen found it important to conserve their emotional strength and to maintain a positive attitude.3 11 Some described being happy with staying in their own home, and felt it was important to keep calm:\n\nI felt confident by staying in my own living room (3, p724).\n\nThey acknowledged the close and trustful relationships in their network at that time in their life.3 13 31\n\nThought it was reassuring to be together with family in familiar surroundings\u00a0(3, p724).\n\nSharing the beginning of labour\n\nWhen women recognised the beginning of labour, they shared it with other women. Usually they called their mother or sister, before calling the midwife or the hospital.12 13 Few asked their midwife to be with them at this point.\n\nAt 10 o\u2019clock in the morning I called the hospital. Of course, I had talked to my mom first (3, p274).\n\nThey indicated that it was important for them to know their midwife, because it gave them confidence and trust3 12 13 32 33\n\nKeeping life normal\n\nThe most common behaviour at the onset of labour appeared to be continuing with the usual routine. There were many descriptions of wanting to remain at home, taking a shower, being aware of others\u2019 needs (like older children or even pets) and waiting happily. Their own home with their relatives and partners around them3 11 33 was a tranquil place to be while their contractions were becoming more intense and the pain was increasing.3 11\n\nI was lying all night and with my labour pains and my dog came and lay by my feet\u2026it was an incredible feeling, it was in September, all the apples in the trees\u2026it was all so silent\u2026 (31,\u00a0p352).\n\nWithdrawing within as labour intensifies\n\nAs the labour intensified, women withdrew into an inner world where time seemed to be suspended. Women described how this inner space allowed them to concentrate on the labouring process, and this facilitated\u00a0the feeling that they could manage. The experience of control was complex and nuanced\u2014for some, the sense of being in control was directed at making all of the decisions and for others, it was achieved by feeling safe enough to hand over control (or guardianship) to the midwife, so that they could retreat into their inner world of labouring.\n\nAccepting the intensity of labour\n\nWhen contractions became stronger and pain intensified, women felt the need to be fully focused on the physical task.13 At this point women really needed to be with safe companions in a protected place. This was the moment to contact the midwife and/or move to the hospital.\n\nI\u2019ve got to be somewhere where I can actually allow myself to feel what I am going through (13,\u00a0p373).\n\nThe pain experience was framed by accepting pain as a natural part of childbirth, and this was important for women.3 32 Two key elements in the response to pain were trusting in the body and working with pain.3 11 Mobility was important in this phase, and women needed to move around32 or submerge themselves in water.34 The following quote is an example of how women framed the pain experience to reduce fear.\n\nI don\u2019t think it is explained very well what the pain is for. People just get frightened of the pain. If they could see it as something useful\u2026the pain is there so as you can help them out, it\u2019s not frightening at all (p58).\n\nWomen described their desire to be in control, but this was different for the individual women. For some, control meant staying on top of things and deciding what they needed, whereas for others, control was the decision to hand over management to the midwives.34\n\nNot having any experience of labour, I needed the midwife to tell me what to do. Because she was in control I felt I was too\u2019 (34,\u00a0p33).\n\nWomen expressed their need for a caring approach.3 11 13 34 The support from midwives helped women to face the vulnerability they experienced during labour.\n\nKnowing the midwives so well makes you feel quite at ease, if you are scared and you haven t got anyone reassuring you, you are just panicking, and it hurts a lot more\u00a0(33,\u00a0p239).\n\nYou are so incredibly vulnerable and I feel that you have such a need that someone is kind to you and shows you some interest. All your energy goes into giving birth to this child and you simply don\u2019t have energy left to argue with someone or make a fuss about something. You almost have to take whatever your surroundings offer you (11,\u00a0p52).\n\nAll throughout she said to me: you are coping fine, Linda; I felt assured. That was how she was making me feel calm all throughout she said to me: you are coping fine, Linda; I felt assured. That was how she was making me feel calm\u00a0(33, p239).\n\nA woman giving birth is perhaps much most sensitive or vulnerable that when she is not in labour. If for example the midwife or member of the staff hurt her in some way or says something inappropriate, then it drastically offsets your labour\u00a0(11,\u00a0p52)\n\nThey also described how important their partner was.\n\nI felt he was my lifeline, he had the best analgesic effect on me and he did not leave me once (31,\u00a0p. 352).\n\nSometimes they needed to be alone with their partners yet still able to reach their midwife whenever they needed.33 34\n\nI felt like we were doing it ourselves, which was nice. We didn\u2019t feel we needed the midwife all the time but she was there if we did\u00a0(34,\u00a0p34).\n\nGoing to an inner world\n\nWomen described how they withdrew within themselves to an inner world, where they focused on the importance of living just in that moment.

I need not to have people looking at me (12,\u00a0p49).\n\nWomen described perceptions of an altered or suspended sense of time.\n\nMy sense of time was completely lost, as if I had forgotten it in a drawer at home. It was a very strange feeling. There are a lot of people around you and yet you are in your own world. Even if we were in the same room we were not in the same world\u2026\u2019(11,\u00a0p52).\n\nOver time as the intensity of the contractions and the pain increased, women described feelings of fear and desperation.13 Some felt exhausted and deprived of energy.11 32 The thought that they could not continue any more, expressing fears of death.11\n\nI was so optimistic in the beginning of the latter birth\u2026I had given birth before and I survived\u2026so that you believe you will survive. However, in both births I had this feeling for some time that I would never survive this (11,\u00a0p56).\n\nI was requesting for a caesarean, I was requesting for everything!

It upped its contribution to anti-fiber groups, giving $385,000 to a committee called Look Before We Leap. This, in a battle that saw total opposition expenditures top $419,000. In other words, 92 percent of the messaging war against Question 2A was funded by the cable industry.\n\nYet the increased industry spending hardly seemed to make a difference. By a 61-39 percent vote, city residents agreed that Longmont should be able to do with its fiber optic cables what it wished. How much did pro-fiber groups spend in that encounter? Around $3,700, says Jordan. There are 27,000 households in Longmont. Even if the city were to connect all of the eligible homes to its existing fiber network overnight, it would still reach only 1,100 residences. Cable companies therefore spent over half a million dollars trying to prevent four percent of city households from gaining access to municipal fiber on any reasonable timescale. That's around $600 a home, or six months' worth of Xfinity Triple Play.\n\nPerhaps that's why the cable industry has mostly given up fighting Longmont - it's not worth it anymore. On Tuesday night, voters overwhelmingly approved of the city's third fiber ballot measure since SB 152, Question 2B. Question 2B asks whether the local government should be allowed to issue $45.3 million in bonds to pay for a city-wide deployment of fiber, one that would finally connect all 27,000 homes, and every private business, to public fiber within the next three years. Proponents estimated that without the funding, it would take a half-century to complete the roll-out. Voters gave it the green light, by a 68-32 percent split. No group came forward to contest the measure. The cable companies had picked up their ball and gone home.\n\nThis doesn't mean they're going to start backing down everywhere.

When we look at the underlying data, we see that coal production was starting to decline in some of the major coal producing parts of the world at that time. From the point of view of", "base_doc": " one of its testbeds. \"That really helped us educate the community to the value of what we already have here,\" says Longmont's Vince Jordan. \"So we went again [with another referendum] in 2011.\" This time, CCTA went all-in on fighting the initiative. It upped its contribution to anti-fiber groups, giving $385,000 to a committee called Look Before We Leap. This, in a battle that saw total opposition expenditures top $419,000. In other words, 92 percent of the messaging war against Question 2A was funded by the cable industry.\n\nYet the increased industry spending hardly seemed to make a difference. By a 61-39 percent vote, city residents agreed that Longmont should be able to do with its fiber optic cables what it wished. How much did pro-fiber groups spend in that encounter? Around $3,700, says Jordan. There are 27,000 households in Longmont. Even if the city were to connect all of the eligible homes to its existing fiber network overnight, it would still reach only 1,100 residences. Cable companies therefore spent over half a million dollars trying to prevent four percent of city households from gaining access to municipal fiber on any reasonable timescale. That's around $600 a home, or six months' worth of Xfinity Triple Play.\n\nPerhaps that's why the cable industry has mostly given up fighting Longmont - it's not worth it anymore. On Tuesday night, voters overwhelmingly approved of the city's third fiber ballot measure since SB 152, Question 2B. Question 2B asks whether the local government should be allowed to issue $45.3 million in bonds to pay for a city-wide deployment of fiber, one that would finally connect all 27,000 homes, and every private business, to public fiber within the next three years. Proponents estimated that without the funding, it would take a half-century to complete the roll-out. Voters gave it the green light, by a 68-32 percent split. No group came forward to contest the measure. The cable companies had picked up their ball and gone home.\n\nThis doesn't mean they're going to start backing down everywhere. Critics of municipal networks continue to point to the financial risks taxpayers assume when cities decide to embark on such ambitious projects. \"We've been supportive of public-private partnerships where tax dollars aren't competing against private investment capital,\" says Comcast's Sena Fitzmaurice. \"In general, cities have extensive infrastructure needs like roads, bridges and schools, and we think especially in times of fiscal tradeoffs that taxpayer money should be focused on those needs rather than competing with the private sector.\"\n\nThere are certainly more than a handful of municipalities whose fiber projects have failed.

A novel modified alternative method to caloric restriction is Time-Restricted Feeding (TRF), a sub-type of Intermittent Fasting. The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the effect of four weeks of TRF (without caloric deficit) on body composition, stress levels, sleep quality, hunger level, and quality of life.\n\nMethods: Sixteen participants, 9 males and 7 females, mean age 34.0 \u00b1 11.7 years, completed the four-week protocol. Fasting program was 16 hours from the time of last meal of the evening to start of first meal the following day. Participants were required to consume their normal daily caloric intake within an 8-hour period.\n\nResults: There were significant reductions in mean body fat percentage (26.2\u00b12.4 vs. 25.5\u00b12.6, p=0.01), visceral fat (cm2) (98.2\u00b115.3 vs. 94.1\u00b115.7, p=0.003), body fat mass (kg) (21.6\u00b13.0 vs. 21.0\u00b13.2, p= 0.02), trunk fat (kg) (11.5\u00b11.6 vs. 11.0\u00b11.6, p=0.001) and stress levels (14.1\u00b11.9 vs. 11.0\u00b11.4, p=0.03). There was a significant drop in hunger levels over time (\u03c72 = 16.4, p=0.001). There were no significant changes in sleep quality or quality of life.\n\nConclusion: TRF may be an effective option to decrease stress, body fat, visceral fat, and obesity-related diseases while not disrupting sleep quality and Quality of Life.

Today we're going to be discussing USAID's top initiatives on education, private sector engagement, and effective partnering and procurement reform. Joining me are several guests. Julie Cram is a deputy assistant administrator for the Bureau for Economic Growth, Education, and Environment. Hello, Julie.\n\n\u00a0Randy Tift is a senior advisor for the Bureau for Management Office of Acquisition and Assistance. Jim Richardson is the USAID Transformation Task Team coordinator. And of course, we're also joined by US AID Administrator Mark Green.\n\n\u00a0Administrator Green, Julie, Randy, Jim, thank you so much for joining us.\n\nAdministrator Mark Green: Great to be with you.\n\nJim Richardson: Thanks for meeting.\n\nJulie Cram: Great to be here.\n\nCarol Han: Administrator Green, USAID has released a new education policy. Can you tell us how you feel USAID's work with education fits into your vision around the Journey to Self-Reliance?\n\nAdministrator Mark Green: Well, first let me say that unveiling this strategy, as well as the others that we're going to talk about today, I think are an exciting chapter for the Agency because we're starting to make all of the hard work that so many people have been involved with, we're starting to make it come alive. This is where we start to see what this all means and we translate it from abstract ideas into real operations and real steps. In the area of education, first off it's personal to me. That's how I started in all of this was as a teacher in Africa. But secondly, our vision as you know is to help countries on their Journey to Self-Reliance. We want to help countries to be able to lead themselves. Of course, we know that means that you simply cannot get there without a strong educational system. A system which helps people provide opportunities for their young people, everything from the kinds of workforce skills they're going to need to be able to compete in a very competitive world, but also the basic education skills and experiences that connect them to the outside world. And that's particularly important in a time when we have so many displaced communities. Education is an irreplaceable part of the journey to self-reliance. And so it's great that the education strategy is coming forward at this moment, because again I think it really makes key aspects of the journey come alive.\n\nCarol Han: Julie, you wear two hats at the agency. Besides being a USAID Deputy Assistant Administrator, you were also appointed by the president as a Senior Coordinator for International Basic Education. Can you tell us a little bit about this role and what you do exactly to coordinate the US government's work with international education?\n\nJulie Cram: You bet, Carol and again, thanks for having me to talk about such a exciting initiative for the Administrator and for the agency. So in my role as Senior Coordinator, I've had the pleasure of working across the US government, ten agencies and departments, to ensure our work is really better aligned overall, and that we're being as effective and efficient as possible with the taxpayer dollar. And so we developed a road map that looks at the objectives that we've all agreed to so that we actually achieve results.

Today we're going to be discussing USAID's top initiatives on education, private sector engagement, and effective partnering and procurement reform. Joining me are several guests. Julie Cram is a deputy assistant administrator for the Bureau for Economic Growth, Education, and Environment. Hello, Julie.\n\n\u00a0Randy Tift is a senior advisor for the Bureau for Management Office of Acquisition and Assistance. Jim Richardson is the USAID Transformation Task Team coordinator. And of course, we're also joined by US AID Administrator Mark Green.\n\n\u00a0Administrator Green, Julie, Randy, Jim, thank you so much for joining us.\n\nAdministrator Mark Green: Great to be with you.\n\nJim Richardson: Thanks for meeting.\n\nJulie Cram: Great to be here.\n\nCarol Han: Administrator Green, USAID has released a new education policy. Can you tell us how you feel USAID's work with education fits into your vision around the Journey to Self-Reliance?\n\nAdministrator Mark Green: Well, first let me say that unveiling this strategy, as well as the others that we're going to talk about today, I think are an exciting chapter for the Agency because we're starting to make all of the hard work that so many people have been involved with, we're starting to make it come alive. This is where we start to see what this all means and we translate it from abstract ideas into real operations and real steps. In the area of education, first off it's personal to me. That's how I started in all of this was as a teacher in Africa. But secondly, our vision as you know is to help countries on their Journey to Self-Reliance. We want to help countries to be able to lead themselves. Of course, we know that means that you simply cannot get there without a strong educational system. A system which helps people provide opportunities for their young people, everything from the kinds of workforce skills they're going to need to be able to compete in a very competitive world, but also the basic education skills and experiences that connect them to the outside world. And that's particularly important in a time when we have so many displaced communities. Education is an irreplaceable part of the journey to self-reliance. And so it's great that the education strategy is coming forward at this moment, because again I think it really makes key aspects of the journey come alive.\n\nCarol Han: Julie, you wear two hats at the agency. Besides being a USAID Deputy Assistant Administrator, you were also appointed by the president as a Senior Coordinator for International Basic Education. Can you tell us a little bit about this role and what you do exactly to coordinate the US government's work with international education?\n\nJulie Cram: You bet, Carol and again, thanks for having me to talk about such a exciting initiative for the Administrator and for the agency. So in my role as Senior Coordinator, I've had the pleasure of working across the US government, ten agencies and departments, to ensure our work is really better aligned overall, and that we're being as effective and efficient as possible with the taxpayer dollar. And so we developed a road map that looks at the objectives that we've all agreed to so that we actually achieve results. And while much of the planning and the leadership might be happening here in Washington, the real impact is going to be on the ground in our partner countries and in our missions.\n", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 232442, "pt_loc": 37689083, "pt_shuffle_idx": 52740090, "doc_index_f": 82673297, "doc_index_l": 82673299, "offset_f": 410, "offset_l": 827, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 18, "pt_injection_len": 31, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [781, 440, 828]} -{"pt_doc": " about what an employee looks like. Often, employees work from home at least some of the time, using their own space and computers. Maybe their schedules are flexible or don\u2019t require \u2018face time\u2019 at the office. They might have more than one job. Their position could be a short-term 3- or 6-month contract, instead of indefinite or permanent employment.\n\nUnlike an employee, even though an independent contractor may be providing a service for pay, they are self-employed. These are your true freelancers. This kind of work isn\u2019t new, but it is increasingly common.\n\nAnother thing that is increasingly common is employers misclassifying their employees as independent contractors or trying to push the legal boundaries that define employment status. Employers are motivated to do this because they believe it will cut their costs and reduce their liability. But, just because your employment contract or job title calls you a contractor or freelancer doesn\u2019t make it true.\n\nIn Ontario and across Canada, courts or labour boards will look at several factors to decide whether you are an employee or an independent contractor. Relevant considerations include things like:\n\n \u2022 How much control the worker has over their work. For example, do you control your hours of work or how you do your job? Does a manager oversee your work?\n \u2022 Does the worker provide their own equipment or tools?\n \u2022 Can the worker subcontractor or hire help to do their work?\n \u2022 Does the worker work for other companies?\n \u2022 How much financial risk does the worker take on? Or, how much chance of profit does the worker have?\n \u2022 Is the worker paid a wage, salary or fixed rate?\n \u2022 How did the company characterize the relationship in reaching an agreement with the worker? How does the company characterize the employee in its dealings with the public?\n\nNo one factor determines your employment status. You aren\u2019t automatically an employee if you\u2019re paid by the hour. And you aren\u2019t automatically a contractor if you provide your own tools. Your true employment status is determined by looking at all of the facts together.\n\n\nAs the Uber cases show, it isn\u2019t always easy to prove that you\u2019re an employee \u2013 but you do have options if you believe that you\u2019ve been misclassified.\n\nFor example, independent contractors aren\u2019t entitled to termination pay or severance pay. However, if a worker isn\u2019t a true independent contractor, they can still sue for wrongful dismissal or file a Ministry of Labour Complaint seeking compensation.\u00a0 Recent amendments to the\u00a0Employment Standards Act\u00a0expressly banning employee misclassification make it a little easier. These new provisions mean that if an Ontario worker claims to have been misclassified in their Ministry of Labour complaint, it will be the employer\u2019s job to disprove the worker\u2019s employment status.\n\nLikewise, freelancers who think they are employees and want to unionize can apply for certification. But, if their employer objects on the basis of their contractor status, the Labour Board has to determine whether they are actually employees (or \u201cdependent contractors\u201d). If they are, they have the right to organize just like any other employee regardless of what the written contract says.\n\n\nMany workers don\u2019t care about the paperwork when they\u2019re offered a new job. On top of this, freelance positions may offer more flexibility or the opportunity to work from home (or a coffee shop). And, since independent contract work often means you get a pay cheque without any deductions for tax or employment insurance, for a lot of workers it seems like a better arrangement.\n\nIn reality, self-employment as a freelancer is risky. Employees have protections that independent contractors do not. This includes:\n\n \u2022 Minimum wage and overtime protections and other basic employment standards\n \u2022 The right to unionize\n \u2022 Contributions to employment insurance\n \u2022 Access to the WSIB system\n \u2022 Reasonable notice or a \u2018severance package\u2019 if you\u2019re laid off\n\nEmployees also don\u2019t have to worry about setting money aside for tax season. An employer should do this for you and make remittances throughout the year. Independent contractors or freelancers need to track their own income and pay their own taxes, or risk interest charges and tax problems down the road.\n\nCompanies offer independent contractor positions to people who should be employees because it\u2019s to their advantage. Employees can protect themselves from misclassification by knowing their rights, understanding the law and speaking with an employment lawyer about their concerns.\n\nYou might be interested in some of our other blog posts:\n\n\u2022 Negotiating a Better Employment Contract\n\nDISCLAIMER: This post is for educational and informational purposes only.

It\u2019s a poignant story that has stayed with me because of how inhuman the people in that story seemed to be and I, like any young person, told myself I would behave differently in a similar situation.\n\nI have a song called Seized. It\u2019s a narrative song that tells the story of a person, late at night in a lonely London square, witnessing a drunk or drugged woman being escorted against her will by three men. The narrator is paralyzed with fear and shock that such a thing is even happening and does virtually nothing to stop it, moves on with his life and then flies home to another country.\n\nOne of the first things they teach you in an introductory lesson to reading poetry is to never assume that a first-person narrator is speaking as the author him/herself. Many writers will pass on that narrative responsibility to a fictional character and it is a very wise storytelling technique to do so. Every now and again, however, a poem or lyric is, in fact, autobiographical. The lyrics in the song, Seized, are one of those exceptions.\n\nI was on vacation with a\u00a0girl-who-HAPPENS-to-be-my-friend-NOT-my-girlfriend to spend a couple of weeks abroad in London as a\u00a0kind of\u00a0graduation present after earning my B.A.. One night, after enjoying a small festival along the Thames filled with dozens of talented buskers ranging from The Beatles reenactors to Gypsy Punks to Jugglers, and then later failing to find a hip night-club near our hotel in Croydon, myself and my traveling companion found ourselves witnesses to an uncomfortable scene.\n\nThere were a ton of buskers over by the Ferris Wheel, a.k.a. The London Eye.\n\n\nThe whole scene\u00a0could not have lasted more than a couple of minutes but I\u2019ve given it a great deal of thought. Despite that, I find myself, now, trying to avoid the memory by finding convenient distractions around me.\n\nAn empty square in the city is an uncanny place. At just about any time during the day there is an aliveness and a hustle; a filled-with-people-ness, that feels so intrinsically character to the location that to walk through it alone is to feel, yourself, like some societal pariah.

The other lady, if her herpes was bothering her during sex, it sounds like she was having an active outbreak which would make her very infectious. Please know that a condom does not provide complete protection. Herpes can occur anywhere in the \"boxer shorts\" area. Have you been tested for herpes? It is not a routine STD test - you must specifically ask for it, and even then the doctor has to know which test to request from the lab - it must be the Western blot or igg test, to let you know which type you have. The fact is that the majority of people with herpes don't even know that they have it. Scary.

The Vet could wash the disease protein off the cell wall but couldn't get the ones that attach themselves to the DNA structure. There needed to be a way for the antibiotic to get through the cell wall and wash the protein away from the DNA.\n\nI do believe the cure for this and other things like Cancer, Aids, Sarchoidosis etc....will come when we figure out a way to do this. The ones that we can't cure are all like this, attached to an open spot in the gene structure. That is why they affect people differently, differen't genetic structures.\n\nI think we need to go back into our ROOTS to find the answer. Garlic can have a big effect on our immune system and help strengthen overworked Immune Systems.(bring on the back-up)\n\nI have a theory Garlic is the key that researchers have overlooked.

It was a defining moment for a character that was already very clearly defined.\n\nI wonder if Sarah absorbed what David had done, for her, without hesitation. If he had died, his death would be fundamentally different from before. He wasn\u2019t running from his family, he was defending them with his life.

It wasn\u2019t the torture, even though watching Castle get beaten was hard to watch; it was the day dreams Castle kept having that really made everything so difficult. He was being courted by his dead wife, reliving what he had lost, including that last conversation where she confessed that he wasn\u2019t there anymore and he had to make a choice.

The other lady, if her herpes was bothering her during sex, it sounds like she was having an active outbreak which would make her very infectious. Please know that a condom does not provide complete protection. Herpes can occur anywhere in the \"boxer shorts\" area. Have you been tested for herpes? It is not a routine STD test - you must specifically ask for it, and even then the doctor has to know which test to request from the lab - it must be the Western blot or igg test, to let you know which type you have. The fact is that the majority of people with herpes don't even know that they have it. Scary. That's why it's spreading like a grass fire.\n\u00a0dream mate\nJoined: 12/22/2005\nMsg: 46\nPosted: 8/11/2006 11:14:52 AM\nThis is one of those things that modern medecine can't cure.\n\nI saw some of this while exporting Dairy Cattle Embryos. The Vet could wash the disease protein off the cell wall but couldn't get the ones that attach themselves to the DNA structure. There needed to be a way for the antibiotic to get through the cell wall and wash the protein away from the DNA.\n\nI do believe the cure for this and other things like Cancer, Aids, Sarchoidosis etc....will come when we figure out a way to do this. The ones that we can't cure are all like this, attached to an open spot in the gene structure. That is why they affect people differently, differen't genetic structures.\n\nI think we need to go back into our ROOTS to find the answer. Garlic can have a big effect on our immune system and help strengthen overworked Immune Systems.(bring on the back-up)\n\nI have a theory Garlic is the key that researchers have overlooked. Suppose Garlic has a chemical reaction with an antibiotic which allows it to penetrate the cell wall and clean the protein off the DNA structure? Would that be too simple? I am not a Scientist, but it might just work.\n\nBTW...KYOLIC....aged Garlic Extract.....packs a punch and doesn't stink.\nJoined: 4/4/2006\nMsg: 47\nPosted: 8/11/2006 1:14:15 PM\nMy gosh,suddenly this thread is about me defending myself.

He was at it again in Patty Jenkins' game-changing 2017 superhero flick\u00a0Wonder Woman. In the film, he played the seriously patriotic, seriously demented\u00a0Erich Ludendorff \u2014 a German general who,\u00a0after losing his son to the trenches of World War I, sets an unstable scientist (Elena Anaya's Dr. Maru) on the path to making an even deadlier version of mustard gas with hopes of ending the conflict once and for all.\n\nHuston's General Ludendorff was merely a pawn in the game of the film's true villain: the Greek god of war Ares (David Thewlis), who has his own dastardly plans to put an end to mankind and restore Earth to the paradise it was before the pesky mortals were around. For much of the film, Diana Prince (Gal\u00a0Gadot) believes that Ludendorff himself is Ares, and sets out to lay waste to the evil god herself. That narrative path resulted in one of\u00a0Wonder Woman's finer moments: Gadot and Huston waxing poetic on gods and war while taking turn across the dance floor \u2014\u00a0a scene that ultimately saw Ludendorff escaping assassination thanks to a little bit of interference.\n\nLudendorff's fate is far different the next time he \"dances\" with Diana, of course. While his character meets a decidedly well-earned end in Wonder Woman, Danny Huston's work as General Ludendorff is the very definition of scene-chewing.\n\nDanny Huston keeps his eyes on the money on Succession\n\nThough he's worked in film far more frequently than television, Danny Huston has proven equally discerning about his small-screen projects. He missed out on the money-grubbing fun on the first season of HBO's breakout drama\u00a0Succession, but Huston wisely joined the show's esteemed cast for the second season, playing the Roys' go-to money man Jamie Laird.\n\nHuston's\u00a0Succession character played a big part in trying to get the Roys out of trouble, and his most memorable moment came on the episode in which\u00a0a giddily skittish Jamie Laird and Roman Roy (Kieran Culkin) are held hostage while brokering a multi-billion dollar deal that might've saved the Roys' media empire. Eventually, Laird took his leave of the\u00a0Roys after they refused to listen to his advice and (wisely) questioned his motives.\u00a0\n\nThere's been no official word yet as to whether or not Huston's Lard will be getting pushed around by the Roys on the already green-lit third season of\u00a0Succession. But given his prominence on season 2, it's hard to imagine we won't see his face at some point in the future, especially after that shocking season 2 finale. The only question is whether Laird will be playing for Team Kendall (Jeremy Strong) or Team Logan (Brian Cox).

We may not always like the outcome (see the next point), but we are privileged to cast a real vote.\n\n\n2. Being part of a democracy means accepting election outcomes graciously.\n\nIt\u2019s OK to be upset if the candidate for whom you voted doesn\u2019t win. And it\u2019s OK to feel more than a little upset. Most people feel passionately about the issues that divide candidates in an election, and especially this year. We should never feel that we can\u2019t express those feelings\u2026in a gracious way. But the privilege of voting implies that the vote may not go the way you want. When it doesn\u2019t, we need to be able to accept that outcome without personally attacking those who voted differently.\n\n\n3. People choose to vote for a given candidate for many different reasons\u2014sometimes it\u2019s one very specific issue, other times it\u2019s a combination of many factors\u2014so we shouldn\u2019t make assumptions about the reasonableness, intelligence, lovingness, thoughtfulness, etc., of people just because they voted differently than us.\n\nMy dear grandma grew up extremely poor in rural Missouri. Her dad would hunt for squirrels in the woods, hoping they would have something for dinner. They suffered quite a lot and there was often little food. Eventually, New Deal programs gave her father some work and things got better for the first time. She always told me she would never, ever vote for anyone other than a Democrat because Democratic policies changed her life\u2014when, as she would say, \u201cRepublicans did nothing.\u201d\n\nMeanwhile, I know several small business owners who have been very negatively impacted (to the point of going out of business) by recent changes to health care policy. These business owners are seeing their livelihoods threatened by a specific policy that most Democrats support and most Republicans oppose. The issue is top of mind for them, and they feel as strongly as my grandma did about whom they will and will not vote for\u2014just with the opposite conclusion.\n\nTo label people based on their vote is overwhelmingly simplistic. If we feel passionately about a candidate, and if we find that we just can\u2019t understand where someone with the opposite view point is coming from, ask them. Seek understanding. Then apply that understanding by acting with empathy toward those with whom you disagree.\n\n\n4. It can be tempting to make light of what you don\u2019t appreciate about those with another viewpoint, but that only serves to fan the flames of resentment rather than build bridges of understanding.\n\nThere are all kinds of pictures being shared on social media right now showing empty streets with a caption such as, \u201cThis is what the riots looked like after Obama won.\u201d Obviously, that\u2019s a dig at all of those who are protesting Trump\u2019s victory.\n\nEven if something like this is true, it does little to build bridges of understanding. It\u2019s simply making a point, not making a difference. That\u2019s an important distinction. Points that don\u2019t lead to difference-making simply build resentment.\n\n\n5. It\u2019s incredibly important to be\u00a0an\u00a0informed\u00a0voter\u2026don\u2019t believe everything you hear or read.\n\nA news story started going viral last week about how an FBI agent \u201csuspected in Hillary email leaks\u201d was found dead in apparent murder-suicide. The suggestion, of course, was that Clinton or someone in her circle was responsible for it. The story was on a reputable looking and sounding site called The Denver Guardian. It turns out it was a totally fake story designed to spread a negative rumor before the election. But I saw all kinds of people share it without investigation. Likewise, all kinds of stories with inaccuracies have been shared about Trump.\n\nAs people with the privilege of voting, we also have the responsibility to make an informed vote. Always look at the source of data, ask what motivation a person had for writing about the data, learn to spot logical fallacies, and ask yourself why there\u2019s good reason to accept or disregard any given piece of information. \u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n6. A person\u2019s worldview, with respect to his or her beliefs about God\u2019s existence, may or may not make a difference in the way he or she votes.\n\nResearch shows that the number of those who identify as Christians is decreasing in America, while the number of those who identify as atheists, agnostics, and \u201cnothing in particular\u201d is increasing. Interestingly, many of those who believe in \u201cnothing in particular\u201d still believe in some notion of God\u2014they just reject revealed religion. If a person\u2019s belief in God is untethered to any revelation by that God to tell us of His character and His directives for us as His created beings, then the sky\u2019s the limit on how a person might act on such a belief.\n\nIf you want to consider your political viewpoint in light of a Christian worldview (and you should), you specifically need to consider it in light of the Bible (read on).\n\n\n7. A person\u2019s worldview, with respect to his or her beliefs about the reliability of the Bible, often makes a difference in the way he or she votes.\n\nAmongst those who accept the Bible as their highest authority, there are certain things that the vast majority will agree on. For example, the Bible states that humans are made in the image of God. Most Christians believe that rules out the moral acceptability of abortion\u2014unborn humans are still humans, and are therefore equally valuable as image-bearers.\n\nOn some issues the Bible doesn\u2019t comment directly, but most Christians come to the same conclusion about them based on scriptures that are relevant to the question. A high-profile example of that right now is the question of transgender identity and related laws.\n\nOn other issues, the Bible is silent and Christians disagree over conclusions. The moral acceptability of infertility treatments is one example.\n\nThe fact that Bible-believing Christians agree on many political conclusions for these reasons does not mean that they will all necessarily affiliate with the same political party. There\u2019s no Jesus party, so no party will perfectly correlate with Christian beliefs. Christians overwhelmingly tend to vote Republican because that party more often aligns with important Christian beliefs, but Christians should never suggest that someone who belongs to a different party is not a Christian because of it.\n\n(Since our kids\u2019 beliefs about the authority of the Bible does fundamentally alter their worldview, be sure you\u2019re teaching them how we know it\u2019s reliable. For help with those conversations, see chapters 25-32 of my book, Keeping Your Kids on God\u2019s Side.)\n\n\n8. Much of the time, people cannot come to agreement on political issues because they\u2019re not in agreement on worldview.\n\nIf a person is an atheist, and believes that human life is nothing more than atoms that have come together via blind evolutionary forces, it follows that he or she is going to have very different views than Christians on issues that touch on the value of life. This is, at root, a worldview conflict, not a political conflict. As much as we might want to see political change in society, it\u2019s unrealistic in many cases to think that will come about simply at the political level. Worldviews anchor political views.\n\n\n9. You should welcome the opportunity to get involved with politics as a Christian\u2014don\u2019t believe the slogan that you shouldn\u2019t legislate morality.\n\nWhen it comes to moral issues, someone\u2019s morality is always legislated. It\u2019s either a prohibitive law (legislating the morality of those who oppose the action) or an approving law (legislating the morality of those who accept the action). We should unhesitantly use our votes to reflect biblical values and stand up for what is right in God\u2019s eyes.\n\n\n10. As a Christian, you represent Christ\u2026at election time and always.\n\nI try to keep this in mind daily. It\u2019s so important. Our secular society has a very negative view of Christians right now\u2014for both legitimate and illegitimate reasons. It\u2019s up to each and every one of us to remember that we represent Christ to the nonbelievers in our lives and to act accordingly. One very negative interaction with a Christian can paint how a nonbeliever sees Christianity for a lifetime.\n\nWe\u2019ll all mess up, of course, because we\u2019re not Christ. But when we do, we should accept responsibility for those actions, apologize to those whom we\u2019ve impacted, and continue to share the perfect Jesus who lived the life we cannot.\n\nLet\u2019s take that very, very seriously.\n\n5 thoughts on \u201cWhat Christian Parents Should Tell Their Kids About the Election\u201d\n\n 1.

Identify your project.\n\nRemember that IFW wants to make a difference for you, and you need to show us how an award will make a difference for you no matter what your project is or how much it costs.\n\nYour Application ProcessQ: What is required to apply?\n\nA: You must submit BOTH an\u00a0 IFW Award Eligibility Form\u00a0(1) copy and six (6) copies of your application packet (the original and five copies).\n\nQ: What's the most important first step in applying?\n\nA: First, think about why you are applying. (We know you want some money, but why?) What will you use the money for? What is your \"project\"? Remember that IFW wants to help you further your educational or professional goals. Do you have a special goal that the money will help you achieve? Think about this carefully before putting the time and effort into your application.\n\nQ: How do I get started?\n\nA: You can read about the application process in other parts of the IFW web site, but the way to get started is to download the application packet. The application packet is available in MS Word. To download the application packet\u00a0click here.\n\nQ: What if I have difficulty downloading the file?\n\nA: Send an e-mail to\u00a0cgermain@albany.edu.\n\nQ: Once I have the packet, then what?\n\nA: We recommend that applicants read through the entire packet before they start writing anything.\n\nQ: How much are the awards?\n\nA: Awards generally range from $500 to $1500.\n\nQ: May I apply for less than $500?\n\nA: Yes, if that's what you need.\n\nQ: May I apply for more than $2,500? If my project is more than $2,500 should I bother to apply?\n\nA: The IFW award limit is $2,500. Be realistic in your expectations. No matter how deserving you are or how much you need more, don't ask for more than what IFW is likely to fund. However, it is perfectly reasonable to ask IFW to fund one piece of your project and show how other parts of your project will be funded from other sources. Your\u00a0project budget\u00a0is an important piece of your application.\n\nQ: Okay. I know how much money I want to apply for, and I have the application packet, what should I do first?\n\nA: Immediately start thinking about the various components you need for your application including your\u00a0goals and plan letter, your\u00a0budget, your resume, and most immediately, who you will ask to write your letters of recommendation. Remember that you need to give your letter writers time to compose a good reference for you. Ask early.\n\nWhat's Needed to Apply\n\nQ: So what exactly will I be submitting for my application?\n\nA: You need to submit (1) a full application and (2) the eligibility form. Fill out the eligibility form (include one print copy with your packet).\n\nRead your application packet carefully and you will see that you need six collated copies of your application. Each copy will contain your cover sheet, goals and plan letter, project statement (optional), project description, two letters of recommendation, a budget, and your vita or resume. Follow the directions exactly. Put everything in exactly the order requested. Start gathering materials and writing early! Ask for your letters of recommendation as soon as you can.\n\nMake sure your application is complete! Don't be late! It is due Friday, March 6, 2015.\n\nCriteria For a Good Application\n\nQ: What does Initiatives For Women look for when judging an application?\n\nA: IFW is interested in who you are, what your goal is, and how IFW can help you reach your goal. In addition, IFW applies its standards for a good application (not just an application which is \"better than\" the others). Criteria may include:\n\n 1. Academic merit and outstanding scholarship.\n 2. Need. How will the award make a difference or help overcome obstacles?\n 3. Advancement of women in general. Examples of this include applicants:\u00a0\n \u2022 in a non-traditional field\n \u2022 who are non-traditional (students, faculty, or group)\n \u2022 doing interesting research on or for women\n \u2022 creating/entering training programs for women.\n 4. Final selections represent the diversity of our applicants and the University.\n\nLetters of Recommendation\n\nQ: Are some people better to ask than others for my letters of recommendation? I know lots of people who could write me good letters of support.\n\nA: Pick someone very appropriate for your project. You do not want just friends or relatives to write these letters; you want professional people who know about you, your goals, and, most importantly, your project. UAlbany faculty are the preferred letter writers for student applicants. For dissertation assistance, you'd want to pick your dissertation chair or at least someone on your committee. For an art project, you'd want an art teacher. Professionals would choose colleagues or supervisors familiar with their work and project. Faculty might pick their department chair or colleagues familiar with their project. Everyone can find two people who will say nice things about them, but you want people who can speak about your project and its importance for you.\n\nQ: Are these confidential letters? What if my letter writer insists he/she only submits confidential letters?\n\nA: The letters are not confidential: You will get the original letter and make five additional copies of it to submit in your applications packet. We realize some faculty write only confidential letters of recommendation. Ask if he/she is willing to put six copies of the letter in separate envelopes (give them the envelopes) for you. They will need to give you the letters to submit each sealed envelope with each copy of your application. Please do not send them separately.\n\nQ: The perfect person for me to ask to write a letter is out of the country! Can s/he send a letter via e-mail?\n\nA: With special permission only from the 2015 IFW Award Selection Committee Co-Chair Carol Anne Germain, an emailed letter of recommendation will be accepted. If, indeed, this is the perfect letter writer (e.g., your dissertation advisor or project director) who is out of the area, you may have them send the letter via e-mail to Carol Anne Germain at:\u00a0cgermain@albany.edu. (Please note: IFW will not accept local e-mail letters sent just to make the time deadline.)\n\nQ: How do I make sure my letter writers really do write me good letters?\n\nA: Do everything you can to make sure the writer knows about you, your project, and IFW. Don't just ask them to write a letter blindly. Put in writing for them what you are applying for and why. Give them a copy of your IFW application and your resume/curriculum vitae. You might even offer (depending on who you ask) what types of things you would like in your letter.\n\nQ: I don't really know any of my professors that well. How do I get good letters?\n\nA: Reread the preceding question and answer because it would be really helpful in your situation! When you ask a teacher, try to make a connection to that faculty member. Remind them that you were the one in the front row of a certain course last semester or the one who received an excellent grade or wrote a particular paper. Follow up in writing with information to make it easier for the faculty member. Attaching your r\u00e9sum\u00e9 (presuming it is up-to-date!) is another way for the faculty member to know who you are.\n\nQ: To whom should the letters be addressed?\n\nA: Address letters to the \"Members of the IFW Award Selection Committee\".\n\nQ: Anything more about letters I should remember?\n\nA: Ask early! Give your letter writers enough time to write you a thoughtful letter. A month should be enough time.\n\nThe Eligibility Form\n\nQ: What is the purpose of the Eligibility Form?\n\nA: The eligibility form will provide the selection committee information on your eligibility for awards. The form will collect demographic data from you (contact information, status information), as well as eligibility criteria used for specific awards.\n\nQ: Why does the eligibility form ask me for information such as if I am African-American or a mother?\n\nA: Certain awards have specific criteria that restrict who is eligible or specify that \"special consideration\" may be given to certain classes of people. For example, the \"Honoring Our Mothers\" award is restricted to women who are mothers and are currently balancing the demands of motherhood, and school or work.\n\nQ: The eligibility form asks if I'm a U.S. citizen. Am I eligible for an award if I am not a citizen?\n\nA: Yes, you are eligible for an award even if you are not a citizen. Most awards are available to citizens and non-citizens alike. Certain endowed awards are restricted to U.S. citizens.\n\nQ: The eligibility form asks for my GPA. Are awards given only to people with very high GPA's", "base_doc": " your \"project.\" Your \"project\" could be professional travel, dissertation expenses, conference attendance, tuition to complete courses, or any of hundreds of other things.

Ask early.\n\nWhat's Needed to Apply\n\nQ: So what exactly will I be submitting for my application?\n\nA: You need to submit (1) a full application and (2) the eligibility form. Fill out the eligibility form (include one print copy with your packet).\n\nRead your application packet carefully and you will see that you need six collated copies of your application. Each copy will contain your cover sheet, goals and plan letter, project statement (optional), project description, two letters of recommendation, a budget, and your vita or resume. Follow the directions exactly. Put everything in exactly the order requested. Start gathering materials and writing early! Ask for your letters of recommendation as soon as you can.\n\nMake sure your application is complete! Don't be late! It is due Friday, March 6, 2015.\n\nCriteria For a Good Application\n\nQ: What does Initiatives For Women look for when judging an application?\n\nA: IFW is interested in who you are, what your goal is, and how IFW can help you reach your goal. In addition, IFW applies its standards for a good application (not just an application which is \"better than\" the others). Criteria may include:\n\n 1. Academic merit and outstanding scholarship.\n 2. Need. How will the award make a difference or help overcome obstacles?\n 3. Advancement of women in general. Examples of this include applicants:\u00a0\n \u2022 in a non-traditional field\n \u2022 who are non-traditional (students, faculty, or group)\n \u2022 doing interesting research on or for women\n \u2022 creating/entering training programs for women.\n 4. Final selections represent the diversity of our applicants and the University.\n\nLetters of Recommendation\n\nQ: Are some people better to ask than others for my letters of recommendation? I know lots of people who could write me good letters of support.\n\nA: Pick someone very appropriate for your project. You do not want just friends or relatives to write these letters; you want professional people who know about you, your goals, and, most importantly, your project. UAlbany faculty are the preferred letter writers for student applicants. For dissertation assistance, you'd want to pick your dissertation chair or at least someone on your committee. For an art project, you'd want an art teacher. Professionals would choose colleagues or supervisors familiar with their work and project. Faculty might pick their department chair or colleagues familiar with their project. Everyone can find two people who will say nice things about them, but you want people who can speak about your project and its importance for you.\n\nQ: Are these confidential letters? What if my letter writer insists he/she only submits confidential letters?\n\nA: The letters are not confidential: You will get the original letter and make five additional copies of it to submit in your applications packet. We realize some faculty write only confidential letters of recommendation. Ask if he/she is willing to put six copies of the letter in separate envelopes (give them the envelopes) for you. They will need to give you the letters to submit each sealed envelope with each copy of your application. Please do not send them separately.\n\nQ: The perfect person for me to ask to write a letter is out of the country! Can s/he send a letter via e-mail?\n\nA: With special permission only from the 2015 IFW Award Selection Committee Co-Chair Carol Anne Germain, an emailed letter of recommendation will be accepted. If, indeed, this is the perfect letter writer (e.g., your dissertation advisor or project director) who is out of the area, you may have them send the letter via e-mail to Carol Anne Germain at:\u00a0cgermain@albany.edu. (Please note: IFW will not accept local e-mail letters sent just to make the time deadline.)\n\nQ: How do I make sure my letter writers really do write me good letters?\n\nA: Do everything you can to make sure the writer knows about you, your project, and IFW. Don't just ask them to write a letter blindly. Put in writing for them what you are applying for and why. Give them a copy of your IFW application and your resume/curriculum vitae. You might even offer (depending on who you ask) what types of things you would like in your letter.\n\nQ: I don't really know any of my professors that well. How do I get good letters?\n\nA: Reread the preceding question and answer because it would be really helpful in your situation! When you ask a teacher, try to make a connection to that faculty member. Remind them that you were the one in the front row of a certain course last semester or the one who received an excellent grade or wrote a particular paper. Follow up in writing with information to make it easier for the faculty member. Attaching your r\u00e9sum\u00e9 (presuming it is up-to-date!) is another way for the faculty member to know who you are.\n\nQ: To whom should the letters be addressed?\n\nA: Address letters to the \"Members of the IFW Award Selection Committee\".\n\nQ: Anything more about letters I should remember?\n\nA: Ask early! Give your letter writers enough time to write you a thoughtful letter. A month should be enough time.\n\nThe Eligibility Form\n\nQ: What is the purpose of the Eligibility Form?\n\nA: The eligibility form will provide the selection committee information on your eligibility for awards. The form will collect demographic data from you (contact information, status information), as well as eligibility criteria used for specific awards.\n\nQ: Why does the eligibility form ask me for information such as if I am African-American or a mother?\n\nA: Certain awards have specific criteria that restrict who is eligible or specify that \"special consideration\" may be given to certain classes of people. For example, the \"Honoring Our Mothers\" award is restricted to women who are mothers and are currently balancing the demands of motherhood, and school or work.\n\nQ: The eligibility form asks if I'm a U.S. citizen. Am I eligible for an award if I am not a citizen?\n\nA: Yes, you are eligible for an award even if you are not a citizen. Most awards are available to citizens and non-citizens alike. Certain endowed awards are restricted to U.S. citizens.\n\nQ: The eligibility form asks for my GPA. Are awards given only to people with very high GPA's?\n\nA: Not all awards require academic excellence as a criteria. Some explicitly state that academic record will not be used to determine the recipient.\n", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 240622, "pt_loc": 13821987, "pt_shuffle_idx": 52681378, "doc_index_f": 82581399, "doc_index_l": 82581399, "offset_f": 1381, "offset_l": 3429, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 31, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": "arachnidsrva Arachnoknight\n\n What do you guys think?

I worked out a LOT today, and while I do wanna ride my bike tomorrow, I could use the extra money. I should at least try to make back the amount I just spent on bike stuff :x it was just a lock and a bike seat (which I DESPERATELY need because my ass hurts a LOT) but I really shouldn't be spending money now.

I worked out a LOT today, and while I do wanna ride my bike tomorrow, I could use the extra money. I should at least try to make back the amount I just spent on bike stuff :x it was just a lock and a bike seat (which I DESPERATELY need because my ass hurts a LOT) but I really shouldn't be spending money now.

In two days in April of last year, for example, a panel of three California judges reversed the findings of district courts in Idaho and Montana regarding environmental management in those states.\u00a0 In Native Ecosystems Council v. Dombeck, Carter appointee Dorothy Nelson and Clinton appointee Richard Paez ruled that various environmental regulators (the U.S. Forest Service, the secretary of agriculture, et al.) had improperly permitted timber sales on national forest land and, among other things, \"failed to consider the presence of grazing allotment when evaluating sale's effect on Grizzly Bears.\" The decision reversed Montana District Judge Jack Shanstrom's grant of summary judgment for the government.\n\nLikewise in Neighbors of Cuddy Mountain v.

Chief District Judge Edward Lodge in Idaho had found in favor of the government (the seller of that timber) in both cases.\n\nThis stark regional dissonance is an important consideration in the plans to split the circuit. In the latest incarnation of the bill to unbind the Northwest from California, sponsored by Idaho Rep. Michael Simpson, Congress would potentially spin off Northwest states including Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Alaska\u00a0into a new 12th circuit. Not only would the newly drawn 12th and 9th Circuits be on a more consistent scale with the remaining circuits, but such a division would create a more realistic regional divide, acknowledging the Pacific Northwest and Alaska as culturally and politically distinct. Even if that seems a stretch, at least by virtue of being smaller, the residual districts would allow each state a greater sense of control over its judicial fate.\n\nThis effort to preserve regional political integrity has lessons that may echo inside the Beltway as well by shining a light on the remoteness of the judicial nominations process and, especially, those who stand in its way. The president nominates judges under Article II of the Constitution, with the \"advice and consent\" of the Senate. In turn, under that body's arcane rules, a given nominee can effectively be prevented from becoming a judge in Utah by a senator from New York.\u00a0The reason is the filibuster, a tool that allows a passionate minority to block action even by a 59-vote majority. Of course, when they put routine judgeships in the hands of the Senate, the Founding Fathers may not have anticipated the extent to which battles over the judiciary would become the meat and potatoes of well-funded, ideological special-interest lobbies (just look at the abortion issue, for example). Blocking judicial nominations by filibuster has been happening more and more frequently, as politicians answer the demands of these constituent groups. Democrats in Congress have prevented an \"up or down\" vote on six of President Bush's nominees, including, recently, Carolyn Kuhl and Janice Rogers Brown.\n\n\nPart of the blame goes to the U.S. Supreme Court, too, for nationalizing certain debates that perhaps would have been better off left to state and local legislatures. But more saliently, if there is room for marginal differences from region to region, as a 9th Circuit split would suggest, then a determination of what is sufficiently \"moderate\" to get through the Senate should differ for a nominee for Oregon and one for Massachusetts. Positions on regulating guns or the environment that might seem extreme in an East Coast metropolis resonate very differently in states where people hunt and fish and live off the land.\n\nThe nominations process is now so regularly bogged down in left-right holy wars that it threatens the judiciary's ability to handle its daily caseloads. Nor is there much hope of a pendulum swinging back to reduce politicization of the judiciary. A recent paper by University of Chicago professor Cass Sunstein, David Schkade, and Lisa Michelle Ellman for the American Enterprise Institute\u00a0and the Brookings Institution suggests strongly that a judge's rulings can be reliably correlated with the party affiliation of the appointing president. With this fodder in hand, the parties are not likely to stand down from their Senate nomination battles. But keeping the circuits small would at least lend greater accountability to the process. In place of filibusters, nominees might more properly be blocked only by the objections of the senators from the state to which they are assigned.\n\nReorganizing the unwieldy 9th Circuit would represent a big step toward fostering more regionalism in judicial interpretation, replacing it with two courts better able to reflect the politics and mores of the Southwest and Northwest, respectively.

I used the knowledge that I gained from IMT 510 in many of my other classes as well as on my thesis project.\n\nOnce I got out in the real world, I noticed it was just as, if not more applicable. For one of my first consulting projects, I am working with an organization that needs to migrate their data into a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system. Their organization has reached the point where they have too much data in too many different systems and there may be only one person who understands each one. In order for my partner and I to properly consult them on what they needed to do to undertake this project, we had understand how the systems they are currently using work, what was information was most important to them, and what they wanted the new system to do. In order to do this, we had to do a lot of user interviews and use the systems ourselves.

The typical characterization I've seen is as follows:\n \u2022 we have a sequence of binary variables $x_i\\in\\{0, 1\\}, i\\in\\{1,\\dots,N\\}$ that indicate the state of something; and\n \u2022 if the state changes from 0 to 1, it must remain 1 for exactly $K$ consecutive periods (with a possible exception of we reach the horizon limit $N$ before we see the $K$-th unit value).\nFor $K=3$, this means the sequence <... 0 1 1 1 0 ...> is valid but <... 0 1 1 0 ...> is invalid (not enough ones), <... 0 1 1 1 1 0 ...> is invalid (too many ones), and <... 0 1 1> (bumping into the end of the horizon) may or may not be considered valid. The question is, how do we model this with binary variables.\n\nThe answer is to rethink our choice of variables: rather than focusing on binary variables representing the system state, we focus on binary decision variables indicating whether or not a particular epoch represents the start of a string of ones. So we introduce a new set of binary variables $y_i\\in\\{0, 1\\}, i\\in\\{1,\\dots,N\\}$, where $y_i=1$ if and only if a string of $x$ variables starting at epoch $i$ take the value 1. We enforce all this with the following constraints:\n 1. $x_{i-1}\\le 1-y_i, i\\in\\{2,\\dots,N\\}$ (the value of $x$ in the epoch immediately prior to the start of a run must be 0);\n 2. $x_{i+K}\\le 1-y_i, i\\in\\{1,\\dots,N-K\\}$ (the value of $x$ in the epoch immediately after the end of a run must be 0); and\n 3. either $$x_i\\ge y_j \\forall i\\in\\{1,\\dots,N\\}, \\forall j\\in \\{i-K+1,\\dots,i\\}$$ or $$x_i\\ge \\sum_{j=i-K+1}^i y_j,$$eliminating any terms with indices outside the domain $\\{1,\\dots,N\\}$ (the $K$ values at or immediately after the start of a run must be 1).\nThe second version of (3) is more compact (good) but makes the constraint\u00a0 matrix denser (not so good). I'm pretty sure the second version produces the tighter feasible region.\n\nIf you do not want the time frame to end on a run of fewer than $K$ ones, constrain $y_j=0$ for $j\\in \\{N-K+2,\\dots,N\\}$. If you must have at least one zero after the final run of ones (i.e., <... 0 1 1 1 0> is okay for $K=3$ but <... 0 1 1 1> is not), constrain $y_j=0$ for $j\\in \\{N-K+1,\\dots,N\\}$. If you do not want to start a run of ones at the very beginning of the time frame (<0 1 1 1 0 ...> is okay but <1 1 1 0 ...> is not), constrain $y_1=0$.\n\nThursday, April 3, 2014\n\nThe Definition of \"Open\"\n\nBefore I climb up on my soapbox, I probably should make a couple of disclaimers to put what follows in perspective.\n \u2022 I am a heavy user of open source software, and in particular of products from the Mozilla Project.

They expect to achieve that goal within three years or so. But they'll start with the weirdest worlds.\n\n(See: MSNBC: Looking for Alien Earths? Here They Come.)\n\nSo far, over 400 planets have been discovered orbiting other stars. However, our detection methods have favored larger planets and those that are closest to their parent stars. This means that we have mostly discovered 'hot Jupiters' - planets the size of Jupiter and larger - much larger - orbiting close in to the star.\n\nThe Kepler Observatory also favors finding planets close in to their parent star. However, it is capable of discovering planets the size of earth. So, this first batch of planets to be reported will likely include a number of hot Jupiters. However, it will also include some super-hot Venus-like planets.\n\nThey will still be too hot to expect to hold any life. However, those planets will come. Each time another set of data is downloaded from the Kepler Observatory, scientists have the opportunity to confirm planets that are further and further away from the parent star.\n\nThe Kepler Observatory finds a planet by measuring the change in brightness as the planet orbits the parent star. As the planet passes in front of the star, the star gets a little bit dimmer. Kepler records these dips in brightness. Three dips in brightness over a regular period tells scientists that the dips were caused by a planet that had passed on front of the star three times.\n\nScientists want to see the brightness dip three times before they will suggest that a planet is responsible. This means, with 45 days' worth of data, scientists can discover planets that orbit their parent star in 15 days or less (hot Jupiters and hot Venuses).\n\nWith 1100 days worth of data, scientists can discover planets that take a whole year to orbit their parent stars - planets very much like Earth.\n\nHowever, we do need to add the fact that our sun is a particularly large star. The vast majority of stars are smaller and cooler. As such, any wet planets or wet moons orbiting those stars will have smaller, tighter orbits. The discovery of those planets will take less than three years.\n\nOne more interesting fact to consider. A planet has to be in an orbit that lines up with the Earth for Kepler Observatory to detect them. That will be rare. For every earth-like planet that Kepler can discover, there can be hundreds that do not line up correctly.\n\nNot only is Kepler able to discover planets orbiting other stars, it can discover moons orbiting those planets, if the moons are large enough. It may well be that, where life is possible in another solar system, it will be on a large wet moon orbiting a Jupiter-like planet, rather than on a planet like Earth.\n\nAll of this holds out the hope that the year 2010 will see some very interesting discoveries - with the discoveries getting more and moe interesting every year thereafter - culminating in the potential discvery 3 to 5 years from now of an Earth-size planet (or a wet moon) orbiting a parent star at just the right distance for liquid water, potentially with signs that its atmosphere contains heavy concentrations of nitrogen and oxygen,\n\nThat will be a very interesting day indeed.\n\nThursday, December 24, 2009\n\nMy Holiday Message\n\nI am not much into holidays.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnd to make an honest effort to learn which is which.\n\n\n\nWednesday, December 23, 2009\n\nClimate Change: Summary Position Part II\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMorality suggests that it be the latter.\n\nTuesday, December 22, 2009\n\nClimate Change: Summary Position Part I\n\n\n\n\nAnd neither do you.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMonday, December 21, 2009\n\nClimate Change: No Matter the Cost\n\n\n\nCosts always matter.\n\n\n\nI raise my hand.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI\u2019m not.\n\nFriday, December 18, 2009\n\nClimate Change: The Unreliable Argument\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday, December 17, 2009\n\nClimate Change: The One Percent Rule\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n(See: Wikipedia, The One Percent Doctrine.\n\nSo, on this doctrine:\n\n\n\n\n\nThe One Percent Doctrine is moral and rational rubbish.\n\n\nAnd death can result.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday, December 16, 2009\n\nClimate Change: The Need for Proof Argument\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday, December 15, 2009\n\nClimate Change: The Mere Fact of Natural Change\n\nI am identifying garbage arguments that appear in the claims of morally contemptible anti-warming-deniers that are easily to discredit but still used.

Yet, clearly, humans had nothing to do with those changes. Therefore, the argument goes, we may dismiss any claims that humans are responsible for the changes we see in the climate today.\n\nImagine a trial in which an individual is being accused of murder. In any murder trial, a conviction or acquittal must be based on the evidence presented in this case.

Here is a case of an individual who fell down a mine shaft to his death thirty years before my client was even born. And here I have an account of a general who was shot and killed at the Battle of Gettysburg. My client obviously did not murder him. I have the parish of a town in France that lists scores of people who were killed when black death swept through the town. My client did not murder them. With all of these deaths that were not caused by my client, clearly you must return a verdict of 'not guilty' in accusing my client of this particular murder.\"\n\nThis might be a great argument for befuddling the jury and confusing them into giving a bad verdict.

It may well be that, where life is possible in another solar system, it will be on a large wet moon orbiting a Jupiter-like planet, rather than on a planet like Earth.\n\nAll of this holds out the hope that the year 2010 will see some very interesting discoveries - with the discoveries getting more and moe interesting every year thereafter - culminating in the potential discvery 3 to 5 years from now of an Earth-size planet (or a wet moon) orbiting a parent star at just the right distance for liquid water, potentially with signs that its atmosphere contains heavy concentrations of nitrogen and oxygen,\n\nThat will be a very interesting day indeed.\n\nThursday, December 24, 2009\n\nMy Holiday Message\n\nI am not much into holidays.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnd to make an honest effort to learn which is which.\n\n\n\nWednesday, December 23, 2009\n\nClimate Change: Summary Position Part II\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMorality suggests that it be the latter.\n\nTuesday, December 22, 2009\n\nClimate Change: Summary Position Part I\n\n\n\n\nAnd neither do you.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMonday, December 21, 2009\n\nClimate Change: No Matter the Cost\n\n\n\nCosts always matter.\n\n\n\nI raise my hand.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI\u2019m not.\n\nFriday, December 18, 2009\n\nClimate Change: The Unreliable Argument\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday, December 17, 2009\n\nClimate Change: The One Percent Rule\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n(See: Wikipedia, The One Percent Doctrine.\n\nSo, on this doctrine:\n\n\n\n\n\nThe One Percent Doctrine is moral and rational rubbish.\n\n\nAnd death can result.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday, December 16, 2009\n\nClimate Change: The Need for Proof Argument\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday, December 15, 2009\n\nClimate Change: The Mere Fact of Natural Change\n\nI am identifying garbage arguments that appear in the claims of morally contemptible anti-warming-deniers that are easily to discredit but still used.

If they were not morally contemptible individuals - if they were morally responsible individuals with a proper concern for the welfare of others - they would not allow these arguments to contaminate their claims in the debate regarding global warming.\n\nSo far I have referenced the Three Percent Argument, the Its Not The End of the World argument, and the Ice Age Fears of the 1970s Argument.\n\nAnother garbage argument found in the political arena holds that it is clearly the case that carbon dioxide levels (and global temperatures) have changed in the past. Yet, clearly, humans had nothing to do with those changes. Therefore, the argument goes, we may dismiss any claims that humans are responsible for the changes we see in the climate today.\n\nImagine a trial in which an individual is being accused of murder. In any murder trial, a conviction or acquittal must be based on the evidence presented in this case. However, the defense attorney makes the following argument:\n\n\"I have records here of a billion people who died, none of whom were murdered by my client. Here is a case of an individual who fell down a mine shaft to his death thirty years before my client was even born. And here I have an account of a general who was shot and killed at the Battle of Gettysburg. My client obviously did not murder him. I have the parish of a town in France that lists scores of people who were killed when black death swept through the town. My client did not murder them. With all of these deaths that were not caused by my client, clearly you must return a verdict of 'not guilty' in accusing my client of this particular murder.\"\n\nThis might be a great argument for befuddling the jury and confusing them into giving a bad verdict. However, it is a garbage argument. Yes, we know that there are a lot of different ways in which people can die other than by being murdered by this particular defendant.

When apoptosis occurs, it can be preventative (like in the case of cancer cells) or it can be developmental (like in the formation of fingers on hands and the evolutionary removal of a vestigial tail). For apoptosis to occur, first a death signal must bind to the death signal receptor. Then, Ced9 is inactivated, relieving its inhibition of Ced-3 and Ced-4. Active Ced-3 triggers a cascade of reactions leading to activation of nucleases and proteases. The action of these enzymes causes the changes seen in apoptotic cells and eventual cell death. C. elegans are used as a model for apoptosis. Apoptosis is more complicated in mammals but involves proteins similar to those in the nematode.\n\n25 Answer Key- L.O. 2.35 M.C. Question: Quorum sensing would most likely occur when: A bacterium senses the production of cAMP Tobacco plants are exposed to sunlight Bacteria reach a certain critical concentration Predator insects eat herbivorous insects Insulin binds to target cells FRQ: Describe the difference between long-day and short-day plants. How can a long-day plant be induced to bloom in the middle of winter? Photoperiodism is the response of an organism to seasonal changes in day length. In plants, photoperiodism usually influences the physiological changes required to initiate changes in leafing or blooming of flowers in angiosperms. A photoreceptor protein, called a phytochrome, is usually found in plants that respond to photoperiods. The phytochrome is responsible for absorbing light and often initiating a signal transduction pathway that induces a response. The flowering of long-day plants was initially thought to be stimulated by the length of daylight being longer than the critical photoperiod for that plant, although recent research suggests that a critical \u201cnight length\u201d is responsible for the control of blooming. (Thus, \u2018long-day\u2019 plants may be more accurately referred to as \u2018short-night\u2019 plants.) In the same way, \u2018short-day\u2019 plants may be more accurately referred to as \u2018long-night\u2019 plants. A long-day plant may be induced to bloom in the middle of winter by interrupting the long nights of winter with a regular \u201cflash\u201d of light.\n\n26 Answer Key- LO Which of the following statements is valid as to why the ground squirrel will sacrifice itself to help other squirrels? A)The ground squirrels biological behavior indicates it is trying to attract a female. B)Every group of ground squirrels assigns one squirrel to do so in order to save the young and others. C)The ground squirrel learned a certain behavior in where he would sacrifice himself in order to save his family. D)When a ground squirrel acquires the behavior to sacrifice itself to a predator, the predator typically backs off because of the brave behavior. Suppose you have a species where a baby can prosper when being exiled from their biological mother. How can the baby survive? Where will it get the necessities to stay alive? An example used that has this similar problems are the blue-footed boobies. Some of the times the mother lays two baby eggs, only wanting to raise one. This is a problem, because it puts the two baby boobies at risk of one being thrown out. They typically have to fight each other, and most of the time it is the bigger and stronger one that prospers and injures the smaller. With the mother as a witness, not caring if one of her chicks die, it shows that the losing boobie doesn\u2019t have a mother that will help it throughout its life. Some of the time, the boobie may crawl into another mother boobies next, leaving it to fight the child of hers. Mothers are not able to spot which chicks are and are not theirs. As long as the baby may prosper against the baby in the other nest, then he will live. Unfortunately some of the time the baby will die or starve.\n\n27 L.O M.C. Question-When horses hear an unusual noise, they turn their ears toward the sound. This is an example of A. a fixed-action pattern. B. habituation. C. associative learning. D. imprinting. E. kinesis. A\u2014This is a fixed-action pattern which is an innate behavior that is a programmed response to a stimulus that appears to be carried out without any thought by the organisms involved. Free response- Taxis is the random movement of an organism in response to a stimulus. Kinesis is movement towards or away from a stimulus when something in the environment changes, for example the organism is exposed to light, the organism will randomly move around until it encounters a favorable condition again. One example is when you flip open a rock, insects hiding under the rock will scatter to another rock. This behavior will insure that the organism will remain in an environment that maximizes its chances of survival. Since its activity will increase when met with an unfavorable environment and its activity will decrease when it is met with a favorable environment. The animal will stay in the most favorable environment for the longest time. Migration is the movement of a population from one area to another. Migration is usually caused by seasonal changes. For example, birds may migrate south, when the length of the day shortens. Migration improves the survivorship of an individual by ensuring that it is in a suitable environment. Birds who cannot survive the cold winters migrate south to a warmer area. They then migrate north when it in winter in the southern hemisphere. This ensures that they are always living in a relatively warm environment.\n\n\nSimilar presentations\n\nAds by Google<|endoftext|>Question: Who was the director of Me First?\nAnswer: Fernando Ayala<|endoftext|>The National Sleep Foundation recommends adults get at least seven hours of sleep every night.

It is made up of nutrients, micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, and macronutrients, such as carbohydrates, proteins and fats. A balanced diet, consisting of a variety of these nutrients is the foundation of good health. While consuming the necessary daily intake of carbohydrates, high-quality proteins, heart-healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and water is essential towards maintaining the body\u2019s overall well-being and function, staying healthy and productive could not be achieved without one important structure: the digestive system.\n\n\nWhat is the digestive system?\n\n\nThe digestive system is a collective group of organs which function together to convert food into energy and provide basic, fundamental nutrients in order to nourish the entire body. Food is delivered through a long tube inside the body known as the alimentary canal, best referred to as the gastrointestinal tract, or the GI tract. The gastrointestinal tract consists of the oral cavity, or mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestines, and large intestines. Along with the gastrointestinal tract, there are various important accessory organs which additionally help the human body to digest foods, however, these do not have food pass through them. Accessory organs of the digestive system include the teeth, the tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and the pancreas.\n\n\nDigestive System Anatomy Diagram | Wellness Clinic\n\n\nDigestive System Anatomy\n\n\n\n\nFood begins its course through the digestive system at the mouth, also known as the oral cavity. As a matter of fact, digestion is considered to begin here as soon as you take the first bite of a meal. Within the mouth are numerous accessory organs which aid in the digestion of food: the teeth, the tongue, and the salivary glands. Teeth chop food into smaller pieces, to allow for an easier digestion, which are then moistened by saliva to begin the process of breaking the food down, before the tongue and other muscles of the mouth push the food into the pharynx.\n\n\n \u2022 Teeth. The teeth are 32 small, hard organs located along the anterior and lateral edges of the mouth. Each tooth is created from a bone-like material called dentin and coated in a layer of enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. Teeth are living organs that also contain blood vessels and nerves under the dentin in a soft region, best referred to as the pulp. The structure of the teeth is made for cutting and grinding food into smaller pieces.\n \u2022 Tongue. The tongue is located on the inferior section of the mouth only posterior and medial to teeth. It\u2019s a small organ composed of several pairs of muscles coated in a thin but strong, bumpy, skin-like layer. The outside of the tongue contains many papillae designed for grasping food as it\u2019s moved by the tongue\u2019s muscles. The taste buds on the surface of the tongue distinguish flavor molecules in food and link to nerves in the tongue to deliver taste information to the brain. The tongue can also help push food toward the posterior area of the mouth for swallowing.\n \u2022 Salivary Glands. Surrounding the mouth are three varieties of salivary glands. The salivary glands are sets of accessory organs that produce a watery secretion known as saliva. Saliva helps to moisten food and starts the digestion of food. The body also uses saliva to continue lubricating food as it moves through the mouth, pharynx, and esophagus.\n\n\n\n\nThe pharynx, or throat, is a funnel-shaped tube connected to the back end of their mouth. The pharynx is responsible for the delivery of a mass of chewed food from the mouth to the esophagus. The pharynx also has a significant role in the respiratory system, as air from the nasal cavity passes through the pharynx on its way to the larynx and finally the lungs. Since the pharynx serves two different functions, it includes a flap of tissue called the epiglottis which behaves as a switch to effectively route food into the esophagus and air into the larynx.\n\n\n\n\nThe esophagus is a muscular tube which connects the pharynx to the stomach, that is part of the upper gastrointestinal tract, or upper GI tract. By means of a series of contractions, referred to as peristalsis, it transports the eaten masses of chewed food along its span. At the inferior end of the esophagus is a muscular ring known as the lower esophageal sphincter or cardiac sphincter. The role of the sphincter is to shut off the end of the esophagus and keep food from passing backwards into the esophagus, and instead maintain it in the stomach.\n\n\n\n\nThe stomach is a muscular sac that\u2019s located on the left side of the abdominal cavity, just inferior to the diaphragm. In an average individual, the stomach is about the size of their two fists placed alongside each other. This major organ plays the role of serving as a sort of storage tank for foods so the body has enough time to digest large meals properly. The stomach also contains hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes which continue the digestion of food that began from the mouth. When it leaves the stomach, food is the consistency of a liquid or paste.\n\n\nSmall Intestine\n\n\nMade up of three segments, the duodenum, the jejunum and the ileum, the small intestine is a long, thin tube about 1 inch in diameter and approximately 10 feet long which is part of the lower gastrointestinal tract, or lower GI tract. It is located only inferior to the stomach and takes up nearly all the space in the abdominal cavity. The entire small intestine is coiled like a hose and the interior surface is filled with lots of ridges and folds. These folds are utilized to make the most of the digestion of food and absorption of nutrients. The small intestine continues the process of breaking down food with the help of accessory organs. Contractions known as peristalsis are also at work within this organ. By the time food leaves the small intestine, approximately 90 percent of nutrients are extracted from the food which entered it.\n\n\nLiver and Gallblader\n\n\nThe liver is a roughly triangular accessory organ of the digestive system found to the right of the stomach, just inferior to the diaphragm and superior to the small intestine. The liver weighs about 3 pounds and is the second largest organ in the human body. The liver has many different functions, but its primary purpose is the production of bile and its secretion into the small intestine for digestion. Another of its important functions include the cleansing and purification of the blood flowing from the small intestine, which contains the absorbed nutrients. The gallblader is a small, pear-shaped organ found just posterior to the liver. The gallbladder is used to store and recycle surplus bile from the small intestine, through a channel known as the cystic duct, so that it might be re-utilized for the digestion of subsequent meals.\n\n\n\n\nThe pancreas is a large gland situated just inferior and posterior to the stomach. It is approximately 6 inches long and shaped like short, lumpy snake with its \u201chead\u201d attached into the duodenum and its \u201ctail\u201d pointing towards the left wall of the abdominal cavity. The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes into the small intestine to complete the digestion of foods. These enzymes break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats from the food we eat.\n\n\nLarge Intestine\n\n\nThe large intestine, best referred to as the colon, is a long, thick tube about 2.5 inches in diameter and approximately 5 feet long.\u00a0It is made up of the cecum, the ascending colon, the transverse colon, the descending colon, and the sigmoid colon, which connects to the rectum. It is located only inferior to the stomach and wraps across the lateral and superior border of the small intestine. The large intestine absorbs water and also contains many symbiotic bacteria which aid in the breaking down of wastes to extract small quantities of nutrients. Stool, or waste left over from the digestive process, is passed through the colon by means of peristalsis, or contractions, first in a liquid state and ultimately in solid form as the water is removed from the stool. Stool, or feces, in the large intestine exits the body through the anal canal, to begin the process of elimination.\n\n\nIn conclusion, the digestive system is ultimately essential to effectively break down the food we consume to provide our body with energy and basic nutrients. Unfortunately, however, as with other systems of the body, gastrointestinal diseases can alter the healthy function of the digestive system. The gastrointestinal tract may appear normal but may not be working properly.

It is made up of nutrients, micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, and macronutrients, such as carbohydrates, proteins and fats. A balanced diet, consisting of a variety of these nutrients is the foundation of good health. While consuming the necessary daily intake of carbohydrates, high-quality proteins, heart-healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and water is essential towards maintaining the body\u2019s overall well-being and function, staying healthy and productive could not be achieved without one important structure: the digestive system.\n\n\nWhat is the digestive system?\n\n\nThe digestive system is a collective group of organs which function together to convert food into energy and provide basic, fundamental nutrients in order to nourish the entire body. Food is delivered through a long tube inside the body known as the alimentary canal, best referred to as the gastrointestinal tract, or the GI tract. The gastrointestinal tract consists of the oral cavity, or mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestines, and large intestines. Along with the gastrointestinal tract, there are various important accessory organs which additionally help the human body to digest foods, however, these do not have food pass through them. Accessory organs of the digestive system include the teeth, the tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and the pancreas.\n\n\nDigestive System Anatomy Diagram | Wellness Clinic\n\n\nDigestive System Anatomy\n\n\n\n\nFood begins its course through the digestive system at the mouth, also known as the oral cavity. As a matter of fact, digestion is considered to begin here as soon as you take the first bite of a meal. Within the mouth are numerous accessory organs which aid in the digestion of food: the teeth, the tongue, and the salivary glands. Teeth chop food into smaller pieces, to allow for an easier digestion, which are then moistened by saliva to begin the process of breaking the food down, before the tongue and other muscles of the mouth push the food into the pharynx.\n\n\n \u2022 Teeth. The teeth are 32 small, hard organs located along the anterior and lateral edges of the mouth. Each tooth is created from a bone-like material called dentin and coated in a layer of enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. Teeth are living organs that also contain blood vessels and nerves under the dentin in a soft region, best referred to as the pulp. The structure of the teeth is made for cutting and grinding food into smaller pieces.\n \u2022 Tongue. The tongue is located on the inferior section of the mouth only posterior and medial to teeth. It\u2019s a small organ composed of several pairs of muscles coated in a thin but strong, bumpy, skin-like layer. The outside of the tongue contains many papillae designed for grasping food as it\u2019s moved by the tongue\u2019s muscles. The taste buds on the surface of the tongue distinguish flavor molecules in food and link to nerves in the tongue to deliver taste information to the brain. The tongue can also help push food toward the posterior area of the mouth for swallowing.\n \u2022 Salivary Glands. Surrounding the mouth are three varieties of salivary glands. The salivary glands are sets of accessory organs that produce a watery secretion known as saliva. Saliva helps to moisten food and starts the digestion of food. The body also uses saliva to continue lubricating food as it moves through the mouth, pharynx, and esophagus.\n\n\n\n\nThe pharynx, or throat, is a funnel-shaped tube connected to the back end of their mouth. The pharynx is responsible for the delivery of a mass of chewed food from the mouth to the esophagus. The pharynx also has a significant role in the respiratory system, as air from the nasal cavity passes through the pharynx on its way to the larynx and finally the lungs. Since the pharynx serves two different functions, it includes a flap of tissue called the epiglottis which behaves as a switch to effectively route food into the esophagus and air into the larynx.\n\n\n\n\nThe esophagus is a muscular tube which connects the pharynx to the stomach, that is part of the upper gastrointestinal tract, or upper GI tract. By means of a series of contractions, referred to as peristalsis, it transports the eaten masses of chewed food along its span. At the inferior end of the esophagus is a muscular ring known as the lower esophageal sphincter or cardiac sphincter. The role of the sphincter is to shut off the end of the esophagus and keep food from passing backwards into the esophagus, and instead maintain it in the stomach.\n\n\n\n\nThe stomach is a muscular sac that\u2019s located on the left side of the abdominal cavity, just inferior to the diaphragm. In an average individual, the stomach is about the size of their two fists placed alongside each other. This major organ plays the role of serving as a sort of storage tank for foods so the body has enough time to digest large meals properly. The stomach also contains hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes which continue the digestion of food that began from the mouth. When it leaves the stomach, food is the consistency of a liquid or paste.\n\n\nSmall Intestine\n\n\nMade up of three segments, the duodenum, the jejunum and the ileum, the small intestine is a long, thin tube about 1 inch in diameter and approximately 10 feet long which is part of the lower gastrointestinal tract, or lower GI tract. It is located only inferior to the stomach and takes up nearly all the space in the abdominal cavity. The entire small intestine is coiled like a hose and the interior surface is filled with lots of ridges and folds. These folds are utilized to make the most of the digestion of food and absorption of nutrients. The small intestine continues the process of breaking down food with the help of accessory organs. Contractions known as peristalsis are also at work within this organ. By the time food leaves the small intestine, approximately 90 percent of nutrients are extracted from the food which entered it.\n\n\nLiver and Gallblader\n\n\nThe liver is a roughly triangular accessory organ of the digestive system found to the right of the stomach, just inferior to the diaphragm and superior to the small intestine. The liver weighs about 3 pounds and is the second largest organ in the human body. The liver has many different functions, but its primary purpose is the production of bile and its secretion into the small intestine for digestion. Another of its important functions include the cleansing and purification of the blood flowing from the small intestine, which contains the absorbed nutrients. The gallblader is a small, pear-shaped organ found just posterior to the liver. The gallbladder is used to store and recycle surplus bile from the small intestine, through a channel known as the cystic duct, so that it might be re-utilized for the digestion of subsequent meals.\n\n\n\n\nThe pancreas is a large gland situated just inferior and posterior to the stomach. It is approximately 6 inches long and shaped like short, lumpy snake with its \u201chead\u201d attached into the duodenum and its \u201ctail\u201d pointing towards the left wall of the abdominal cavity. The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes into the small intestine to complete the digestion of foods. These enzymes break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats from the food we eat.\n\n\nLarge Intestine\n\n\nThe large intestine, best referred to as the colon, is a long, thick tube about 2.5 inches in diameter and approximately 5 feet long.\u00a0It is made up of the cecum, the ascending colon, the transverse colon, the descending colon, and the sigmoid colon, which connects to the rectum. It is located only inferior to the stomach and wraps across the lateral and superior border of the small intestine. The large intestine absorbs water and also contains many symbiotic bacteria which aid in the breaking down of wastes to extract small quantities of nutrients. Stool, or waste left over from the digestive process, is passed through the colon by means of peristalsis, or contractions, first in a liquid state and ultimately in solid form as the water is removed from the stool. Stool, or feces, in the large intestine exits the body through the anal canal, to begin the process of elimination.\n\n\nIn conclusion, the digestive system is ultimately essential to effectively break down the food we consume to provide our body with energy and basic nutrients. Unfortunately, however, as with other systems of the body, gastrointestinal diseases can alter the healthy function of the digestive system. The gastrointestinal tract may appear normal but may not be working properly. Symptoms can vary widely on the individual depending on the problem.\u00a0 We will discuss the common issues affecting the gastrointestinal tract, or GI tract, including the colon as well as rectum and anal problems, in the following series of articles.\u00a0The scope of our information is limited to chiropractic and spinal injuries and conditions.

Does Frode want to resort to citations in order to retain his copyright in case that somebody extracts his text from my image, to not give his text into the commons of the libre-freely licensing community as his original article publication is still under \u201call rights reserved\u201d?

Does he care about personality rights/moral rights? If I only knew, I could adjust accordingly.\n\nIt\u2019s important to understand that copyright notices as a consequence of licensing don\u2019t serve as a mechanism to make explicit who referenced what as citations do for critical review and discussing the cited separate original. Instead, they\u2019re about explicitly declaring the legal status of a combined or non-combined work. Copyright isn\u2019t designed to make things open and useful, it is designed to do the exact opposite: to restrict usage, mandated by law as the default. Citations in their legal function limit copyright a little bit, so useful reception isn\u2019t prevented entirely. The legislator deemed the most primitive \u201ccollaboration\u201d of re-inventing the wheel over and over again to be already sufficient. It was imposed by the slow, static production and dissemination of printed books, where no-one can interact with the original author via the physically fixed medium, so the suggested way is to prepare and publish a response that includes citations and improvement suggestions in another book, for the original author/publisher to hopefully discover it in order to cite them again in a third publication. This methodology is the maximum of what citations grant us legally for \u201ccollaboration\u201d despite the advent of computers and networking.\n\nIf there\u2019s some disagreement that eventually leads to a legal dispute, a judge would need to decide what kind of work the screenshot might be and either split it into individual, autonomous parts or treat it as an indivisable whole. Depending on the outcome, we would face different scenarious of who would be rightsholder: Frode alone, me alone, both of us or none of us, if the screenshot should turn out to be not copyrightable. I would learn if I did infringe on Frode\u2019s copyright or not, if I (and subsequent others) would be permitted to make use of the creation or not. In fact, the pre-digital copyright utterly lacks ways to find out who is a copyright holder or to establish who owns what if only specific parts of a combined work should be used, which in itself is reason enough to explain why copyright is broken beyond repair. Transclusion doesn\u2019t help at all because the transcluded original source can disappear at any time and in the case of the screenshot image, there\u2019s no way to technologically construct it in the exact composition of elements as on display. To create ViewSpec capabilities that enable such results is not only very difficult, they would be of almost no general use and therefore a great waste of time. Neither transclusions nor ViewSpecs would solve any of the legal problems, they would only distract from them by creating the impression that combined works are possible without too much care about the legal status of the elements they\u2019re composed from.\n\nThe sad reality of copyright in the digital era is that no matter how good the technical work or content is \u2013 if the human system of accompanying legal provisions turns out to be deficient, everything is destined to go right into the trash, pretty much like most of software development and text publishing is done up to this day, producing into obscurity and irrelevance.\n\nTo be completed\u2026\n\nWhat\u2019s the \u201cTopic\u201d Tool?\n\nI think most of us can easily agree that any structure is better than no structure, and flexible structure(s) is better than just a single, fixed one (would love to explore contrary views on this, otherwise I would assume this as the working hypothesis). There are obviously costs associated with the application of structures on what otherwise is unstructured, context-less, meaningless chaos, but that\u2019s also the only way we know how to gain benefits from what we have or are looking at.\n\nI didn\u2019t think about topics as a structuring tool/mechanism (in terms of a particularly useful structuring tool, which is the whole point of introducing such structure at all, except for natural structures that exist as a matter of fact, but might not be too useful to us as we don\u2019t understand the nature and structure of many things), where categories, taxonomies and keywords/tags are useful structuring tools in my mind, instead, I regarded topics as broad, overarching, general \u201cbrackets\u201d that include loosely what might be relevant for a question or problem and exclude everything that doesn\u2019t seem to be related. As the topic tends to be broad and not very specific/formal, aspects and related fields can easily be added or removed from a topic, which makes it a not very useful structuring tool, because the topic is a single structure with a flexible, versatile meaning/interpretation. One day, other, unrelated knowledge/facts/aspects/topics can turn out to be closely related to the topic, and the next day it is found that it was wrong to see a connection between both, that they are in fact unrelated, but just seemed to be related, so those things get removed again. Thus, the topic is more of a snapshot tool for declaring what the human knowledge workers think at the given time of what\u2019s related/included in a topic, to make the distinction to what is unrelated/excluded. It\u2019s much more difficult to deny a piece the annotation/connection to a certain category, taxonomy or keyword/tag, to no small part because they\u2019re used on small pieces/portions where topics cover large collections of pieces, categories, taxonomies, keywords/tags, even if the latter are in conflict with each other, they can still be included into the same generalized topic as different perspectives for looking at what\u2019s relevant with-under the topic. Sure, we know that in reality, \u201ceverything is deeply intertwingled\u201d and a problem of immense complexity, so the topic as a structuring tool doesn\u2019t reflect reality, so it is indeed just a tool, so topics face resistance/opposition by people who think that separating disciplines, stereotypes, etc. are a bad thing precisely because they\u2019re tools that don\u2019t reflect reality, but it\u2019s not that they can suggest a more useful alternative (cybernetics exist, but also don\u2019t improve the usefulness that much), but demand that the limited usefulness a topic has needs to be furtherly destructed, maybe because it\u2019s a bad thing and misleading and dangerous to think or look at things on a broad, generalized scope, that it is an illusion that you can.\n\nThat\u2019s my current view of what topics are, it\u2019s certainly a different question if/how we can improve topics or improve on topics or improve our or the structuring tools, as well as the question if our current tools/technology (properly or improperly understood and/or applied) are suitable (useful) enough for the increasingly complex problems at hand.\n\nJust to note, before I forget: from computers we\u2019ve learned that an answer to the latter question could be the network/\u201cgraph\u201d, Ted Nelsons crusade against hierarchical structures, which topics are despite being flexible, because they\u2019re \u201con the top\u201d and other things \u201cincluded/grouped below/within them\u201d.\n\nAddition: Everything is a structure, and if we care enough, we can also make it a topic. I\u2019m not sure if we can reasonably describe something that has no structure, or if things without structure can or do exist, but I\u2019m curious how we could approach such a notion. Consciousness might be something that\u2019s not a structure, and we could discuss if consciousness requires host structure(s), but here we\u2019re back again at the problem that we can\u2019t properly talk about it because the lack of structure makes it hard to prove it\u2019s existence. Not that things that potentially exist or don\u2019t exist can\u2019t exist if we don\u2019t find their structure, but in absence of finding their structure or assigning a structure to them, one can easily claim that they do exist as well as claim that they don\u2019t exist, which may or may not have influence over their real existence, but what\u2019s certain is the fact that we can\u2019t easily talk about it for that particular reason.\n\nTo avoid confusion about the \u201cmay or may not have influence over their real existence\u201d statement: one can bring things into existence by simply claiming that they exist, or by introducing structure to something that was unstructured before (so it exists in or by or because of the structure), and we can debate if they really exist, but they\u2019re not less or more existent than we are. If they have a consciousness is a different question, but even the possibility that they could have consciousness can\u2019t be easily dismissed for the things we otherwise would be most sure that they don\u2019t exist and aren\u2019t real. A prime example could be a fictional character in a book or movie, is he/she more or less real/existent than, let\u2019s say, \u201cShakespeare\u201d, or you and", "base_doc": "de\u2019s text portion as \u201ccited\u201d by me doesn\u2019t need his permission to be cited, nor does his text fall under my copyright license just because I cited it, so if one extracts and reproduces Frode\u2019s text from my image, he\u2019s solely under Frode\u2019s copyright provisions, but if he does something with my work as a whole including Frode\u2019s citations (derived works for example), it would fall entirely under my copyright provision.

He had to get up.\n\nA heavy weight settled on his chest, pushing his hammer against him, crushing his fingers. The creature had placed the end of its club on top of Kjar. Kjar was trapped.\n\nA malicious grin appeared on the creature\u2019s flat face as it began to press down, intent on slowly crushing the dwarf.\n\nKjar struggled for breath. He felt his hammer against him and tried to find the focus to call to Daomur. The crushing pain and his hungering lungs pushed all other thoughts from his mind and Kjar recognized his end was upon him even as his mind roared against it in disbelief.\n\nKjar heard the name of his god called out, \u00a0followed by a distant thump. Something warm splashed against his face. The weight of the club on his chest lessened even as the ground shook beneath him.\n\nAir tore into Kjar\u2019s lungs, burning his throat. He rolled onto his side and coughed, his body fighting against each painful, beautiful breath.\n\n\u201cFinish it!\u201d\n\nKjar looked up from where he lie on his side to see Finngyr standing before the mouth of the cave.\n\nThe knight justice stood tall, his gloved hands balled into fists on his hips.\n\nKjar tried to call up to him that he knew Daomur would save them, but all his words were lost in a coughing fit.\n\nFinngyr swayed slightly, then steadied himself, his expression a mix of agony and irritation.\n\n\u201cIt is not dead, Knight Kjar. Get up! Finish it!\u201d Finngyr said.\n\nThe reminder about the creature sent a shock through Kjar\u2019s system and he staggered to his feet, reaching out when his knees started to buckle. He ached everywhere and each raw breath stung deep in his side.\n\nHe withdrew his hand quickly when he realized it was the creature\u2019s ankle he used for support. It sprawled face down beside him and was even now trying to get its arms beneath it. The back of its head was oddly misshapen and blood matted its green hair.\n\nKar half staggered, half slid down the incline. He came to a stop near the creature\u2019s shoulder and wobbled to his feet. He knew Daomur would not forsake them. He raised his hammer.\n\nIt collapsed with the first blow, but Kjar struck it again and again. He wasn\u2019t sure how many times he struck the creature, but enough time passed that Finngyr was at his side.\n\n\u201cIts dead,\u201d Finngyr said in a pained voice.\n\n\u201cI knew Daomur would not forsake us,\u201d Kjar said. \u201cI knew it.\u201d\n\nFinngyr just stared at the younger dwarf from sunken eyes over protruding cheekbones, his face pained, but unreadable.\n\nKjar let the head of his hammer fall forward and then followed it down to one knee. \u201cWhat, what was it?\u201d.\n\n\u201cMountain troll,\u201d Finngyr said. \u201cGood sized one, too.\u201d He made his way around the mountain troll, his movements stiff. He reached down to retrieve his bloodied hammer.\n\n\u201cWill there be others?\u201d Kjar said as he made to stand back up.\n\n\n\u201cHow can you sound so sure?\u201d Kjar said as he hugged his side to try and lessen the pain when he breathed.\n\nFinngyr looked rough. His armor had not been polished since Dagbar\u2019s Freehold. By Daomur, the dwarf had not even moved in several days, for that matter. Finngyr\u2019s unkempt beard flared out in all directions. His stylized helmet, shaped like a screaming dwarf, the open mouth framing the wearer\u2019s face, looked like a dwarf spewing black bile.\n\nKjar couldn\u2019t help but stare.\n\nFinngyr arched an eyebrow at Kjar. He seemed to consider something, a look on his face like he had just put something in his mouth he didn\u2019t like the taste of. He looked out over the Deepwood before answering. \u201cThey are solitary creatures, mountain trolls. They fight with their own kind and everything else for that matter. They only come together to mate.\u201d\n\nKjar looked down at the body of the mountain troll and grimaced. The idea of this thing mating\u2026\n\n\u201cBe glad it was a male. The females are even bigger,\u201d Finngyr said. With that he turned and began to slowly make his way up the slope.\n\n\u201cIs that water I hear?\u201d\n\nKjar could just hear the waterfall in the distance. \u201cWhat, water? Um, yes, yes, Knight Justice. It is.\u201d\n\n\u201cGood. I need to bathe,\u201d Finngyr said, \u201cI stink.\u201d\n\n\u201cYes, Knight Justice.\u201d\n\nFinngyr turned to level a dour glare at the younger dwarf. Kjar realized his reply could have been misconstrued as an agreement instead of just a reply. He hastily looked to the ground.\n\n\u201cHeal yourself, if Daomur wills it,\u201d Finngyr finally said. \u201cThen get those hares spitted. I\u2019m starving.\u201d\n\n\nThe walk to and from the river was painful. Daomur had healed his wounds, but magical healing did little for stiff joints or unused muscles. The magic had also allowed Finngyr to go without food or water, but the lack of these basic necessities had taken their toll.\n\nHe drank water from the river until his stomach ached and still he was thirsty. He picked every last bit of meat from the hares Kjar had caught until their bones gleamed, but still he was hungry. He would need a few more days before he would be able to leave.\n\nFinngyr had his undergarments spread out on several of the flatter stones scattered about the cave. His armor lay, spread out, around him. He had his pauldron in hand, working the oiled cloth in small circles. The familiar repetitive action brought a small bit of comfort to his troubled mind.\n\nA shiver ran through him again, but he shook it off. He was hirsute like most dwarves, but the evening mountain air was cold and he was used to having the additional protection his armor offered from the elements. He almost regretted having Kjar sink the fire.\n\nIt was in a pit between them with another hole at its side for airflow. The cave sat just above the treeline of the Deepwood, its fall colored canopy stretching out below as far as Finngyr could see. It was no wonder the troll had found them. The foolish young knight had provided a signal fire to announce their presence. Sinking the fire hid the light.\n\nThe downside was the heat, like the light, was also confined and rose straight up. He crinkled his nose at the smell as the fat from the hares rendered over the fire. Supplies were low and they were using the last of the seed oil on their armor. Finngyr would need the animal fat for his leather straps and arming doublet. His armor, like him, was in a sorry state, indeed.\n\nThe younger dwarf sat across from him, as close to the fire as possible without falling in. He too, was polishing his armor, a younger reflection of the veteran knight.\n\nKnight Kjar was easily half of Finngyr\u2019s age. Half his size as well. Where Finngyr was stocky and muscled, Kjar was thin and tall by dwarven standards. Not as skinny nor as tall as a human, of course. The only thing large about him was his nose. Broken too many times to count and not even Kjar\u2019s ridiculously large mustache could make it appear smaller.\n\nKnight Kjar squinted at his armor as he went about his work, though truth be told, he always had that squint. It was a common trait of the dwarves from the southern lands of the Empire. Finngyr had to admit he was growing fond of the younger dwarf. He had saved Finngyr back at the tower. If not for young Knight Kjar, Finngyr would be dead and having his life weighed before Daomur on his great scales. Knight Kjar had potential.\n\nFinngyr couldn\u2019t help but wonder if, upon his death, his life would meet the weight set by the Lawgiver? The thought that he would come up short tormented him.\n\nTwice now he had come face to face with Ghile Ston", "base_doc": " leg and then dove forward into a roll to avoid a return attack.

He ached everywhere and each raw breath stung deep in his side.\n\nHe withdrew his hand quickly when he realized it was the creature\u2019s ankle he used for support. It sprawled face down beside him and was even now trying to get its arms beneath it. The back of its head was oddly misshapen and blood matted its green hair.\n\nKar half staggered, half slid down the incline. He came to a stop near the creature\u2019s shoulder and wobbled to his feet. He knew Daomur would not forsake them. He raised his hammer.\n\nIt collapsed with the first blow, but Kjar struck it again and again. He wasn\u2019t sure how many times he struck the creature, but enough time passed that Finngyr was at his side.\n\n\u201cIts dead,\u201d Finngyr said in a pained voice.\n\n\u201cI knew Daomur would not forsake us,\u201d Kjar said. \u201cI knew it.\u201d\n\nFinngyr just stared at the younger dwarf from sunken eyes over protruding cheekbones, his face pained, but unreadable.\n\nKjar let the head of his hammer fall forward and then followed it down to one knee. \u201cWhat, what was it?\u201d.\n\n\u201cMountain troll,\u201d Finngyr said. \u201cGood sized one, too.\u201d He made his way around the mountain troll, his movements stiff. He reached down to retrieve his bloodied hammer.\n\n\u201cWill there be others?\u201d Kjar said as he made to stand back up.\n\n\n\u201cHow can you sound so sure?\u201d Kjar said as he hugged his side to try and lessen the pain when he breathed.\n\nFinngyr looked rough. His armor had not been polished since Dagbar\u2019s Freehold. By Daomur, the dwarf had not even moved in several days, for that matter. Finngyr\u2019s unkempt beard flared out in all directions. His stylized helmet, shaped like a screaming dwarf, the open mouth framing the wearer\u2019s face, looked like a dwarf spewing black bile.\n\nKjar couldn\u2019t help but stare.\n\nFinngyr arched an eyebrow at Kjar. He seemed to consider something, a look on his face like he had just put something in his mouth he didn\u2019t like the taste of. He looked out over the Deepwood before answering. \u201cThey are solitary creatures, mountain trolls. They fight with their own kind and everything else for that matter. They only come together to mate.\u201d\n\nKjar looked down at the body of the mountain troll and grimaced. The idea of this thing mating\u2026\n\n\u201cBe glad it was a male. The females are even bigger,\u201d Finngyr said. With that he turned and began to slowly make his way up the slope.\n\n\u201cIs that water I hear?\u201d\n\nKjar could just hear the waterfall in the distance. \u201cWhat, water? Um, yes, yes, Knight Justice. It is.\u201d\n\n\u201cGood. I need to bathe,\u201d Finngyr said, \u201cI stink.\u201d\n\n\u201cYes, Knight Justice.\u201d\n\nFinngyr turned to level a dour glare at the younger dwarf. Kjar realized his reply could have been misconstrued as an agreement instead of just a reply. He hastily looked to the ground.\n\n\u201cHeal yourself, if Daomur wills it,\u201d Finngyr finally said. \u201cThen get those hares spitted. I\u2019m starving.\u201d\n\n\nThe walk to and from the river was painful. Daomur had healed his wounds, but magical healing did little for stiff joints or unused muscles. The magic had also allowed Finngyr to go without food or water, but the lack of these basic necessities had taken their toll.\n\nHe drank water from the river until his stomach ached and still he was thirsty. He picked every last bit of meat from the hares Kjar had caught until their bones gleamed, but still he was hungry. He would need a few more days before he would be able to leave.\n\nFinngyr had his undergarments spread out on several of the flatter stones scattered about the cave. His armor lay, spread out, around him. He had his pauldron in hand, working the oiled cloth in small circles. The familiar repetitive action brought a small bit of comfort to his troubled mind.\n\nA shiver ran through him again, but he shook it off. He was hirsute like most dwarves, but the evening mountain air was cold and he was used to having the additional protection his armor offered from the elements. He almost regretted having Kjar sink the fire.\n\nIt was in a pit between them with another hole at its side for airflow. The cave sat just above the treeline of the Deepwood, its fall colored canopy stretching out below as far as Finngyr could see. It was no wonder the troll had found them. The foolish young knight had provided a signal fire to announce their presence. Sinking the fire hid the light.\n\nThe downside was the heat, like the light, was also confined and rose straight up. He crinkled his nose at the smell as the fat from the hares rendered over the fire. Supplies were low and they were using the last of the seed oil on their armor. Finngyr would need the animal fat for his leather straps and arming doublet. His armor, like him, was in a sorry state, indeed.\n\nThe younger dwarf sat across from him, as close to the fire as possible without falling in. He too, was polishing his armor, a younger reflection of the veteran knight.\n\nKnight Kjar was easily half of Finngyr\u2019s age. Half his size as well. Where Finngyr was stocky and muscled, Kjar was thin and tall by dwarven standards. Not as skinny nor as tall as a human, of course. The only thing large about him was his nose. Broken too many times to count and not even Kjar\u2019s ridiculously large mustache could make it appear smaller.\n\nKnight Kjar squinted at his armor as he went about his work, though truth be told, he always had that squint. It was a common trait of the dwarves from the southern lands of the Empire. Finngyr had to admit he was growing fond of the younger dwarf. He had saved Finngyr back at the tower. If not for young Knight Kjar, Finngyr would be dead and having his life weighed before Daomur on his great scales. Knight Kjar had potential.\n\nFinngyr couldn\u2019t help but wonder if, upon his death, his life would meet the weight set by the Lawgiver? The thought that he would come up short tormented him.\n\nTwice now he had come face to face with Ghile Stonchosen and twice the wretched human whelp had escaped.

Using your hours to work toward the outcomes you value the most will help to not only bring you success, but will also sustain that feeling of fulfillment that comes from accomplishing your goals.\n\nMaking the most of the time you have and achieving the life that you dream of requires not only a set of time management skills, but a mental shift in how you think about time management best practices. The right time management system can help to focus your attention on what really matters to you, so that your brain can zero-in on reaching your highest value outcomes without getting swept up in distractions, which can result in feelings of frustration and a lack of motivation.\n\n\nIf the actions that you take aren\u2019t aligned with what truly matters to you \u2014 your core values \u2014 then no matter how much you do with your time, you\u2019re not going to get that same sense of achievement and fulfillment than you would if you focused on the outcomes that add the most value to your life.\n\nSuppose that you want to strengthen your relationship with your partner, and you decide to use an hour out of your day to give that person the attention they deserve. But as you\u2019re sitting there, your phone in your pocket vibrates. You take it out to see who texted you. You\u2019ll probably even text them back, and, before you know it, you\u2019ll have a conversation going. By shifting focus to your phone, you\u2019re splitting your attention away from your partner, and you\u2019re no longer working toward the outcome that you truly value, which is a healthier, more passionate relationship with the person you love. By staying focused on your end goal, you\u2019ll be more successful at attaining the outcome that speaks the most to your core values.\n\nAligning your actions with your core values is a question of having clarity on what these values are. What do you truly want? How can you accomplish this goal by using effective time management skills? Is it to lose weight or to earn a promotion at work? Whatever it is, you have to be clear with the outcome you plan to achieve and designate the time needed to reach your goal.\n\ntime management skills man texting standing next to girl\n\n\nClarity is achieved by being specific about what you want and by building your outcome around a meaningful metric. If you tell yourself that you want to lose weight and lose one pound over the next year, have you technically succeeded at what you set out to do? Sure, but is it really what you wanted? Probably not. You were most likely looking to lose 20 or 30 pounds. By being specific with your outcomes, and having clarity on what they are and why you want them, you can have the laser-guided focus you need to achieve them.\n\nHow do you know if you\u2019re truly working toward your core values? Conduct a core values audit: track your activities for two weeks, taking note of which core values they connect with, and audit yourself with a keen eye as you evaluate how to move closer to your goals. Eliminate any activity that you identify as unconnected to your values and goals from your schedule. Replace it with something that serves your ultimate plan.\n\n\nIdentify what is distracting you. Email? People popping into your work-space? Texts? Social media? Whatever it is, eliminate the distraction and the stress that comes with it. Block websites if you have to. Put up an \u201cAway\u201d or \u201cDo Not Disturb\u201d notice on your accounts. Take control of your workspace and time so you can be productive.\n\nAs an experiment, journal your \u201cinterruption emotions\u201d for one week. Each time you allow yourself to be interrupted, stop and jot down exactly what you were feeling before you stopped what you were doing and switched tasks. Often we allow ourselves to lose focus and be interrupted as a crutch when we\u2019re experiencing uncomfortable emotions. These are\u00a0learned, addictive responses\u00a0\u2014 and we can learn to overcome them and change our behavior by employing effective time management skills.\n\n\nThis is one of the biggest skills we all need to learn. When you say no to something that isn\u2019t really adding value to your life or supporting your core values or goals, you are saying yes to something else that is: time to be with family, exercise or even much needed sleep.\n\nIf saying no to something seems hard, think about a time when you reluctantly said \u201cyes\u201d to something and later regretted it. Now, remember all of the emotional turmoil that one decision caused. You went around kicking yourself for awhile, and then you resented the person who asked you to do the task or attend the event in the first place. You fantasized about ways to get out of the commitment. In the end, you either did the task begrudgingly even though you didn\u2019t have the time or resources to do it, or you flaked out because you were overcommitted, right? Saying no in the first place is a lot easier than all of that, so learn to do it. In the end, this time management strategy will help you devote more time to things that are actually important to you.\n\n\nIf you have endless lists of priorities, it\u2019s the same as having no priorities.\n\nBy aligning your outcomes with your core values, you can achieve clarity on which goals are true priorities. What actions, produce the most value? What outcomes address your true wants in life? Once you have a direction to move in, you\u2019ll get a better sense of what actions deserve your attention\u00a0and which ones don\u2019t.\n\nIf you\u2019re facing an overwhelming number of tasks around an outcome, remember that you can\u00a0create better to-do lists by chunking\u00a0all related tasks into smaller groups that are easier to manage and tackle. That way, you can better visualize and identify the steps you need to take to reach your goal.\n\nTony explains the power of chunking and how it helps\u00a0direct your focus towards what matters.\n\n\nWhen you have difficult things that demand all of your focus, it can be draining and intimidating. One great tactic to use in cases like this is the\u00a020-minute increment block. Here\u2019s how it works.\n\nGet your mind ready; let yourself know you\u2019re about to focus on something important. Pick up the task and set an alarm for 20 minutes. Until it rings, give that task everything you\u2019ve got, without any email, cell phone or other distractions. When the alarm rings, decide whether you\u2019re going to put the task down or finish it. Take a break if you like, and get back to that task afterward. Repeat the process until the task is complete.\n\nYou already know that feeling you get when you\u2019re in the zone. You\u2019re unstoppable, and you get more than you thought you could get done finished. The only problem is that getting into the zone feels haphazard and random; sometimes you\u2019re there, but sometimes you\u2019re not. Working on your tasks in these 20-minute chunks helps you pull yourself into the zone as needed.\n\n\nToo often people ask us to do something and we instantly say yes, even though we are too busy and really want to say no.

James' prologue of \"after these things I will return\" orients the Old Testament quote to the current church age. Clearly \"after these things\" refers to the period of time that James and his fellow believers were in, which is the church age. James was telling the council, which was primarily Jewish, that after the present church age is complete, then the Lord will \"return\" and He will fulfill the promises for Israel. This provides a clear outline for history\u2014current church age followed by fulfillment of the Davidic promises to Israel in the millennial kingdom.\n\n\nIn all three transition passages in Acts the word \"restore\" is used in some form. That word is key to understanding that God is not finished with Israel and will one day \"restore\" the kingdom to her. James tells us that the purpose for the current church age is to take out from among the Gentiles a people for his name, which is the church, the Bride of Christ. When the full number of the Gentiles comes in (Rom. 11:25), then God will return and deal with the nation of Israel, leading to her conversion and the arrival of the millennial kingdom. The New Testament does not teach that the church has replaced Israel, instead it reconfirms the teachings of the Old Testament that Israel will enter into her kingdom once she believes and calls for Jesus as her Messiah during the time of Jacob's trouble (Rom. 10:13\u201315). Such a Jewish ingathering will lead to even greater Gentile conversions (Rom. 11:12) as Jesus returns to literally reign and rule from Jerusalem through the nation of Israel and with His Bride by His side.\n\n\n[1] The verb in verse 6, \"were asking\" is in the imperfect tense: \"The action is portrayed as being in progress or as occurring in the past time.\" Daniel B.

Twenty years ago, when I was 10, I was given a handout of occupations in Hebrew class. The table was divided by men\u2019s and women\u2019s word forms, because Hebrew nouns reflect gender: e.g., moreh for a teacher who is a man, morah for a teacher who is a woman. In some instances, the gendered occupations didn\u2019t merely have different spellings, but different meanings altogether. For instance, the men\u2019s job options included \u201crabbi,\u201d for which the women\u2019s counterpart was listed as \u201crebbetzin,\u201d a rabbi\u2019s wife. I was infuriated that the language allowed for only male rabbis\u2014also, apparently, a woman married to a rabbi couldn\u2019t\u00a0have her own career.\n\nYears later, when I decided to physically transition to male\u00a0from female, I didn\u2019t consciously consider how my relationship to Judaism might change as a result. I certainly did not transition to acquire the social privilege, in and out of Jewish communities, that accompanies manhood\u2014although that privilege has been an unwelcome side effect. If asked pre-transition, I think I would\u2019ve expressed hope that my transition would bring me greater peace in my skin, myself, and that my connection to Judaism would likewise improve, buoyed by the rising tide. On some level, I assumed that my transition would not only fix the mismatch between my gender identity and my physical body but would also address my long-felt sense that I wasn\u2019t right for Judaism\u2014that there was no space in Judaism for me.\n\nFemale-to-male, or FTM, transition did wonders for my happiness and comfort; it was, without question, the right path for me. With regards to Judaism, however, transition layered new questions and confusion atop old ones.\n\n\nI grew up in the 1990s in a socially liberal, Jewishly Conservative East Coast family. My loving parents were accomplished professionals who modeled an egalitarian heterosexual relationship, encouraged their male and female children equally, and chose which Jewish laws to observe per a mysterious rubric. We kept kosher at home but ate at non-kosher restaurants, where we ordered only vegetarian; didn\u2019t write on Shabbat, but did drive; and kept our chametz in the house on Pesach, but in cabinets that were taped shut. An analytical and endlessly curious child, I was publicly proud and privately frustrated about being Jewish. When Christian classmates at my public elementary school told me excitedly about Santa Claus, I was unimpressed\u2014and grateful that my parents didn\u2019t tell me things that they knew were untrue. On the other hand, I couldn\u2019t understand the idea that God would care whether I ate a cheeseburger. I experienced synagogue and Sunday school teachings as arbitrary, enforcing the capricious rules of an unseen force. I found few adults who could answer my barrage of questions to my satisfaction.\n\nI also had longstanding discomfort with being seen as a girl: At age 7, I\u2019d gone through a long phase of insisting others call me by a gender-neutral name and even ordered stationery with that name from the synagogue book fair. For my bat mitzvah, when I chose the verse that would adorn my personalized tallit, I carefully selected one that made no mention of God and was gender-neutral. My cousin, by contrast, chose a verse from Proverbs 31, a paean of praise to womanhood that Orthodox men traditionally sing to their wives on Friday evenings. I wore a somber gray skirt suit and selected a black-and-blue invitation whose sample, in the stationer\u2019s catalog, was for a bar mitzvah boy named Daniel. I received Shabbat candlesticks from the synagogue sisterhood, like all my female peers\u2014except mine were unwanted. When a relative asked what gift I might enjoy, I chose a Kiddush cup: what I would have received from the men\u2019s club, had I been born male.\n\nDuring high school and college, whenever I ventured out in public, I never knew what androgyny-based hostility I might encounter. Sadly, this uncertainty was part of my Jewish life, too. The clergy knew my family and was, thankfully, unfazed by me. However, my Conservative childhood synagogue was enormous, with a transient membership, many of whom did not know one another. The synagogue required men to wear kippot and left it optional for women\u2014but regardless of synagogue policy, in my family, kippot were only for men. When I attended, on an increasingly infrequent basis, for family events or during college breaks, I was repeatedly confronted by new ushers perceiving me as male and informing me, with varying degrees of reproach, that I\u2019d forgotten to don my kippah. I responded awkwardly, muttering, \u201cI\u2019m not male,\u201d which inevitably led to frantic apologies (\u201cI didn\u2019t know\u2014it\u2019s just your hair is so short, you see\u2026\u201d).\n\nAn ever-practical relative asked, \u201cWhy not just put on a kippah beforehand and avoid the risk?\u201d Donning a kippah under the pressure of the ushers\u2019 scrutiny felt like being rushed toward a conclusion about my gender identity long before I was ready. My childhood synagogue, once a place of warmth and belonging, became anything but a sanctuary.\n\nNor was this focus on division, on separation and classification, solely a matter of synagogue policy: Rather, it seemed written into the liturgy itself, into the heart of what Judaism regarded as most praiseworthy, awesome, and divine. Prayer after prayer expressed gratitude for the division between the workweek and the Sabbath, holy and profane, light and darkness. Where, I wondered, were the prayers to the G-d of the liminal, the border-crossers, the uncategorizable? I no longer felt comfortable getting near the Torah scrolls, because the cantor summoned people to the bimah as so-and-so, son/daughter of so-and-so\u00a0\u2026 and I didn\u2019t know whether I was a son, daughter, or something else altogether. One had a bar mitzvah or a bat mitzvah; there was no way to be a gender-neutral \u201cchild\u201d of the Commandments.\n\nEven G-d was shoehorned along gender lines, either the Shekhinah or, far more frequently, the Lord. These metaphors for aspects of divinity made it harder to view myself as b\u2019tzelem Elohim, created in the image of G-d. Even if I thought of G-d as both female and male, simultaneously the Sabbath Queen and the King of Kings, there was", "base_doc": " \"in that day,\" which begins verse 11 and adds in Acts 15:16a \"After these things I will return.\" \"In that day\" in Amos 9:11 orients the fulfillment of when the Lord will rebuild the fallen tabernacle of David, which is within a millennial context (compare Amos 9:13\u201315). James' prologue of \"after these things I will return\" orients the Old Testament quote to the current church age. Clearly \"after these things\" refers to the period of time that James and his fellow believers were in, which is the church age. James was telling the council, which was primarily Jewish, that after the present church age is complete, then the Lord will \"return\" and He will fulfill the promises for Israel. This provides a clear outline for history\u2014current church age followed by fulfillment of the Davidic promises to Israel in the millennial kingdom.\n\n\nIn all three transition passages in Acts the word \"restore\" is used in some form. That word is key to understanding that God is not finished with Israel and will one day \"restore\" the kingdom to her. James tells us that the purpose for the current church age is to take out from among the Gentiles a people for his name, which is the church, the Bride of Christ. When the full number of the Gentiles comes in (Rom. 11:25), then God will return and deal with the nation of Israel, leading to her conversion and the arrival of the millennial kingdom. The New Testament does not teach that the church has replaced Israel, instead it reconfirms the teachings of the Old Testament that Israel will enter into her kingdom once she believes and calls for Jesus as her Messiah during the time of Jacob's trouble (Rom. 10:13\u201315). Such a Jewish ingathering will lead to even greater Gentile conversions (Rom. 11:12) as Jesus returns to literally reign and rule from Jerusalem through the nation of Israel and with His Bride by His side.\n\n\n[1] The verb in verse 6, \"were asking\" is in the imperfect tense: \"The action is portrayed as being in progress or as occurring in the past time.\" Daniel B.

Twenty years ago, when I was 10, I was given a handout of occupations in Hebrew class. The table was divided by men\u2019s and women\u2019s word forms, because Hebrew nouns reflect gender: e.g., moreh for a teacher who is a man, morah for a teacher who is a woman. In some instances, the gendered occupations didn\u2019t merely have different spellings, but different meanings altogether. For instance, the men\u2019s job options included \u201crabbi,\u201d for which the women\u2019s counterpart was listed as \u201crebbetzin,\u201d a rabbi\u2019s wife.

side of the financial picture.\u00a0 Many corporate banks, like Citi, make big loans to big clients, typically global, multi-national corporations.\u00a0 You\u2019ll be working directly with those clients (so you\u2019ve got to enjoy people), allocating credit and meeting their global financial needs.\n\nWhat is the typical career path?\u00a0\u00a0As a college graduate, you enter as an analyst, and your job will consist of analyzing the financials of companies, looking at the assets and credits of these companies to determine the risk associated with lending to them.\u00a0 From business school, you enter as an associate, which entails a little less financial analysis and a little more client interaction.\u00a0 Eventually, you\u2019ll move up from less of an execution role to more of a strategic and client-facing position.\n\nWhat kind of person is successful?\u00a0\u00a0It goes without saying that, in this job, analytical skills\u2014yes, we mean numbers, again\u2013are essential.\u00a0 Not multi-variable calculus, but enough comfort with numbers to understand spreadsheets, accounting, and statistics.\u00a0 In addition, a successful banker has great interpersonal skills, as so much of the job will involve creating a positive, ongoing relationship with your corporate clients.\n\nWhat are the hours?\u00a0\u00a0Corporate banking is less episodic than investment banking\u2014relationships are ongoing and long-term\u2014so the pace is somewhat slower.\u00a0 Though the workdays can be long, the consistent, solid work flow makes the atmosphere less frantic than in other areas of financial services.\u00a0 When you\u2019re working with global clients, though, as almost everybody does these days, you\u2019ll have to deal with the time differences, meaning that phone calls can take place at odd hours.\u00a0 Yes, lots can be done by email, but sometimes a phone or in-person conversation is the best way to communicate.\n\nWhat do people love about it?\u00a0 The customer interaction with multinational clients is something that I really enjoy and something that I\u2019ve taken a lot away from,\u201d says Kristin Myers, who, after getting an MBA from the Stern School at NYU, is now in her first year of corporate banking at Citi.\n\n\nWhat would I be doing?\u00a0 This is the one people write the songs about.\u00a0 Well, not really, but the high-powered, high-pressured, high-risk, high-rewards world of investment banking is what people think of when they imagine a career in financial services.\u00a0 Investment banks like Barclays or Goldman Sachs provide an array of services for the global business community, among them are the issuing of stocks, the acquisition of funds for corporations seeking to raise capitol, the sales and trading of securities (stocks and bonds), the creation and operation of derivative markets (options and futures, for example), and the conducting of mergers and acquisitions (M&A).\u00a0 Investment banks put people, money, and ideas together, making the deals you read about in the newspapers.\n\nWhat is the typical career path?\u00a0Entry level jobs in investment banking do involve some long hours, basically in the back office with a lot of numbers, spreadsheets, valuation models, and reports.\u00a0 It\u2019s a good idea to start out in this field as a summer intern, not only to make the connections necessary for a post-graduation job offer but simply to get a feel for an atmosphere which can be incredibly exhilarating.\u00a0 Recent college graduates, especially those hailing from prestigious universities, can expect to be recruited for positions as junior analysts, jobs they typically hold for 2-3 years, after which they go to business school.\u00a0 If they choose to return to I-Banking, newly minted MBA\u2019s sign up for three to five years as an associate, where their responsibilities are still analytically-oriented:\u00a0 doing financial modeling, creating pitch books to market the bank\u2019s financial packages to institutional clients, and devising financial strategies.\u00a0 With advancement comes more client contact and the role of Vice President will have more risk, fewer hours, and far more client contact.\u00a0 Ultimately, successful I-Bankers reach the level of managing director, where they make deals, usually within a specific industry, meeting with top-level clients who represent usually no lower than the third rung of huge, global corporations\u2014CEO\u2019s, CFO\u2019s, COO\u2019s.\n\nWhat kind of person is successful?\u00a0\u00a0Simply to get hired in an i-banking job, you have to be incredibly smart\u2014meaning not just that you\u2019re good with numbers but that you\u2019re also quick and creative\u2014and incredibly driven.\u00a0 But teamwork is equally important; investment banks value people skills as well as analytical skills, and they look for future employees who have demonstrated leadership abilities and relationship skills.\u00a0 \u201cYou put a bunch of bankers in a room, and the women outshine the men any day.\u00a0 The ability to size people up, to use your intuition to assess a situation, is absolutely critical to success in this field,\u201d former JP Morgan Senior Vice President, Laura Born concludes.\n\nWhat are the hours?\u00a0 Entry level positions require 80-100 hour weeks for the first few years of your career.\u00a0 \u201cIf you\u2019re the kind of person who needs a lot of sleep, then investment banking is not for you,\u201d says Born.\u00a0 But Born, continues, i-banking offers challenging positions with a great deal of variety,\u00a0 the hours you work change enormously as you move up in investment banking, and, if you choose to move your career along a different path, the entry-level experience you gain as an analyst can provide an incomparable springboard to jobs in other areas of financial services.\n\nWhat do people love about it?\u00a0\u00a0\u201cI work with really smart, energetic people and often find myself in a room where I\u2019m the youngest person and the only woman, yet clients who are 60 years old and the CEO\u2019s of major corporations are listening to what I\u2019m saying,\u201d says Goldman Sachs Managing Director Monica Mandelli.\u00a0 \u201cI love the energy, the fun, and the high pressure.\u00a0 I love the thrill of doing deals. You stay up all night, you don\u2019t care, and you love it.\u00a0 And don\u2019t let anybody tell you that you can\u2019t have it all.\u00a0 I have a husband, a two-year-old daughter, and the most exciting job that I can think of.\u201d\u00a0 You can hear more about i-banking directly from Monica on the podcasts from our Fort\u00e9 Financial Services FAST Track Conference.\n\n\nWhat would I be doing?\u00a0\u00a0The sales and trading of securities can take place in an investment bank, a commercial bank, a brokerage, or an independent trading floor such as New York Stock Exchange or the Commodities Exchange in Chicago.\u00a0 If you\u2019re in sales, then your job is to sell financial instruments to clients \u2014\u00a0institutional investors, mutual funds, non-profits, and, if you choose that path, private clients.\u00a0 More than a specific product, you\u2019re selling ideas and making your clients believe in them.\u00a0 Traders are the market makers, generally moving securities around to get the most value that they can.\u00a0 Trades where millions of dollars are won or lost can happen in the blink of an eye, making for a lot of adrenaline pumping on the trading floor.\n\nWhat is the typical career path?\u00a0\u00a0There are not a lot of bureaucratic layers in this part of the financial services industry.\u00a0 If you\u2019re making money for your clients, you succeed, you get more power, more accounts, and you\u2019re compensated accordingly.\u00a0 Trading is one of the few career paths in the industry where you can have a successful, long-term, lucrative career by remaining in the same role you were hired into.\n\nWhat kind of person is successful?\u00a0\u00a0All the stereotypes are true:\u00a0 you have to be tough, quick-witted, and aggressive.\u00a0 You have to like to win.\u00a0 A lot.\u00a0 And you need a ton of\u00a0 confidence, a resilient attitude and a thick skin to enable you to go back to work the with the same positive, can-do attitude the day after may have lost a lot of money.\n\nWhat do people love about it?\u00a0 \u201cI love the practicality of sales and trading, the fact that you touch everyone\u2019s life,\u201d says Angela Amos, formerly an Associate in Commodities Research at Lehman Brothers.\u00a0 \u201cI like seeing results, getting on the subway after work and saying, \u2018Yeah, it\u2019s hot outside, but I made money today.\u2019\u00a0 I like the feeling of trading and then closing a great deal.\u00a0 And I like that even when I\u2019m wrong, I learned something for the next time.\u201d\n\nRelated posts\n\nGet newsletters and events relevant\nto your career by joining Fort\u00e9.\n\nour partners<|endoftext|>Question: What is the capital of Zofingen District?\nAnswer: Zofingen<|endoftext|>Browse the Galleries by selecting from the menu, see what you recognise, what's new and above all, enjoy!\n\nCamber the Heretic\n\nKing Cinhil, who had assured peace between the Deryni and humans in Gwynedd, was dying.

as analytical skills, and they look for future employees who have demonstrated leadership abilities and relationship skills.\u00a0 \u201cYou put a bunch of bankers in a room, and the women outshine the men any day.\u00a0 The ability to size people up, to use your intuition to assess a situation, is absolutely critical to success in this field,\u201d former JP Morgan Senior Vice President, Laura Born concludes.\n\nWhat are the hours?\u00a0 Entry level positions require 80-100 hour weeks for the first few years of your career.\u00a0 \u201cIf you\u2019re the kind of person who needs a lot of sleep, then investment banking is not for you,\u201d says Born.\u00a0 But Born, continues, i-banking offers challenging positions with a great deal of variety,\u00a0 the hours you work change enormously as you move up in investment banking, and, if you choose to move your career along a different path, the entry-level experience you gain as an analyst can provide an incomparable springboard to jobs in other areas of financial services.\n\nWhat do people love about it?\u00a0\u00a0\u201cI work with really smart, energetic people and often find myself in a room where I\u2019m

Monica Mandelli.\u00a0 \u201cI love the energy, the fun, and the high pressure.\u00a0 I love the thrill of doing deals. You stay up all night, you don\u2019t care, and you love it.\u00a0 And don\u2019t let anybody tell you that you can\u2019t have it all.\u00a0 I have a husband, a two-year-old daughter, and the most exciting job that I can think of.\u201d\u00a0 You can hear more about i-banking directly from Monica on the podcasts from our Fort\u00e9 Financial Services FAST Track Conference.\n\n\nWhat would I be doing?\u00a0\u00a0The sales and trading of securities can take place in an investment bank, a commercial bank, a brokerage, or an independent trading floor such as New York Stock Exchange or the Commodities Exchange in Chicago.\u00a0 If you\u2019re in sales, then your job is to sell financial instruments to clients \u2014\u00a0institutional investors, mutual funds, non-profits, and, if you choose that path, private clients.\u00a0 More than a specific product, you\u2019re selling ideas and making your clients believe in them.\u00a0 Traders are the market makers, generally moving securities around to get the most value that they can.\u00a0 Trades where millions of dollars are won or lost can happen in the blink of an eye, making for a lot of adrenaline pumping on the trading floor.\n\nWhat is the typical career path?\u00a0\u00a0There are not a lot of bureaucratic layers in this part of the financial services industry.\u00a0 If you\u2019re making money for your clients, you succeed, you get more power, more accounts, and you\u2019re compensated accordingly.\u00a0 Trading is one of the few career paths in the industry where you can have a successful, long-term, lucrative career by remaining in the same role you were hired into.\n\nWhat kind of person is successful?\u00a0\u00a0All the stereotypes are true:\u00a0 you have to be tough, quick-witted, and aggressive.\u00a0 You have to like to win.\u00a0 A lot.\u00a0 And you need a ton of\u00a0 confidence, a resilient attitude and a thick skin to enable you to go back to work the with the same positive, can-do attitude the day after may have lost a lot of money.\n\nWhat do people love about it?\u00a0 \u201cI love the practicality of sales and trading, the fact that you touch everyone\u2019s life,\u201d says Angela Amos, formerly an Associate in Commodities Research at Lehman Brothers.\u00a0 \u201cI like seeing results, getting on the subway after work and saying, \u2018Yeah, it\u2019s hot outside, but I made money today.\u2019\u00a0 I like the feeling of trading and then closing a great deal.\u00a0 And I like that even when I\u2019m wrong, I learned something for the next time.\u201d\n\nRelated posts\n\nGet newsletters and events relevant\nto your career by joining Fort\u00e9.\n\nour partners<|endoftext|>Browse the Galleries by selecting from the menu, see what you recognise, what's new and above all, enjoy!\n\nCamber the Heretic\n\nKing Cinhil, who had assured peace between the Deryni and humans in Gwynedd, was dying.

Lesson development is as concerned with the training of the motor and neurological functions of speech as it is with cognitive (memory) functions. It further emphasizes that training of each part of the speech process must be simultaneous. The proprioceptive method, therefore, emphasizes spoken language training, and is primarily used by those wanting to perfect their speaking ability in a target language.\n\nThe proprioceptive method bases its methodology on a speech pathology model. It stresses that mere vocabulary and grammar memory is not the sole requirement for spoken language fluency, but that the mind receives real-time feedback from both hearing and neurological receptors of the mouth and related organs in order to constantly regulate the store of vocabulary and grammar memory in the mind during speech.\n\nFor optimum effectiveness, it maintains that each of the components of second language acquisition must be encountered simultaneously. It therefore advocates that all memory functions, all motor functions and their neurological receptors, and all feedback from both the mouth and ears must occur at exactly the same moment in time of the instruction. Thus, according to the proprioceptive method, \"all student participation must be done at full speaking volume\". Further, in order to train memory, after initial acquaintance with the sentences being repeated, \"all verbal language drills must be done as a response to the narrated sentences which the student must repeat (or answer) entirely apart from reading a text\".[3]\n\nFunctional methods Edit\n\nThe oral approach / situational language teaching Edit\n\nThe oral approach was developed from the 1930s to the 1960s by British applied linguists such as Harold Palmer and A.S.

There are three main types of immersion education programs in the United States: foreign language immersion, dual immersion, and indigenous immersion.\n\nForeign language immersion programs in the U.S. are designed for students whose home language is English. In the early immersion model, for all or part of the school day elementary school children receive their content (academic) instruction through the medium of another language: Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, etc. In early total immersion models, children receive all the regular kindergarten and first grade content through the medium of the immersion language; English reading is introduced later, often in the second grade. Most content (math, science, social studies, art, music) continues to be taught through the immersion language. In early partial immersion models, part of the school day (usually 50%) delivers content through the immersion language, and part delivers it through English. French-language immersion programs are common in Canada in the provincial school systems, as part of the drive towards bilingualism and are increasing in number in the United States in public school systems (Curtain & Dahlbert, 2004). Branaman & Rhodes (1998) report that between 1987 and 1997 the percentage of elementary programs offering foreign language education in the U.S. through immersion grew from 2% to 8% and Curtain & Dahlberg (2004) report 278 foreign language immersion programs in 29 states. Research by Swain and others (Genesee 1987) demonstrate much higher levels of proficiency achieved by children in foreign language immersion programs than in traditional foreign language education elementary school models.\n\nDual immersion programs in the U.S. are designed for students whose home language is English as well as for students whose home language is the immersion language (usually Spanish). The goal is bilingual students with mastery of both English and the immersion language. As in partial foreign language immersion academic content is delivered through the medium of the immersion language for part of the school day, and through English the rest of the school day.\n\nIndigenous immersion programs in the U.S. are designed for American Indian communities desiring to maintain the use of the native language by delivering elementary school content through the medium of that language.

Let\u2019s talk to Joe right now.\n\nMP: Hi Joe. Thanks for joining me today and for the opportunity to sit down and talk about an important topic like trailer towing safety.\n\nJJ: Hi Mark. Thank you, I appreciate you asking.\n\nMP: I guess the first question would be what exactly is the Automated Safety Hitch?\n\nJJ: The Automated Safety Hitch System is much more than a hitch. It is a system to eliminate the short comings of towing trailers in the back of pickup trucks and a smarter option for owners of long bed trucks, short bed trucks, lifted trucks, and SUVs to pull the safer and more stable 5th wheel and gooseneck trailers instead of bumper pull trailers. The Automated Safety Hitch System is not a trailer. It is classified as a lift or drop axle that better distributes the load of the vehicle.\n\nWhen I first started to buy a gooseneck trailer, during 2003, I looked for structural soundness, accommodations and comfort.\n\nAfter my first demonstration ride I added safety to my shopping list instead of assuming that the truck and trailer industries were addressing safety. During the demonstration ride, the truck in front of us had stopped short due to a vehicle pulling out in front of it. While it looked as though we had sufficient room to stop, with my foot applying steady pressure on the brake pedal, I sat there watching the back of the truck in front of us getting closer and closer until I had steered right to make use of the wide shoulder of the road and came to a stop well past the truck.\n\nMy next stop was checking with my automobile insurance company. There I found that they only cover the liability of pulling a trailer. In other words, my automobile insurance would only cover the damage done by the trailer to people and property if I had an accident or incident. The damage to the trailer would not be covered. When I went to the insurance agency that insured my horses, I was told that there were only insurance policies on the trailer if I financed it. However, the insurance would end when I paid off the note. Wanting to know why, I decided to find out.\n\nWith my Aerospace business, we had a number of large Insurance companies\u2019 flight departments as customers. Calls to the Chief Pilots, of two of these companies, yielded face to face meetings with their officials. Both meetings yielded essentially the same reasons not to insure these trailers. Their main reasons were:\n\n 1. There being a lack of training of the driver.\n 2. There is probably a lack of experience of the driver.\n 3. Their assessment of the trailer electric drum brakes.\n 4. Their belief that the electric drum brakes can be unreliable due to improper maintenance.\n 5. The geometry of the gooseneck trailer cutting to the inside of the turn.\n\nWanting to diversify my business from being so much aviation related and seeing that finding a solution to their concerns would fit our focus to make transportation systems safer, we decided to work on the problems.\n\nWhen we went back to these insurance companies with The Automated Safety Hitch System we were congratulated for addressing all of their concerns. Even their concern of a lack of training of the driver. During the demonstrations, they saw that with The Automated Safety Hitch System, one can essentially just drive the truck normally with The Automated Safety Hitch System taking care of the braking and turning. The demonstrations of maneuverability and controllability were very much appreciated also. Two individuals of one group and one individual of the other group bought an Automated Safety Hitch System for themselves.\n\nWhile the main reasons for The Automated Safety Hitch System was to increase safety by enhancing braking, controllability and maneuverability, the automation came about as an afterthought. While attending a rodeo, I happened to observe this very happy couple approaching their disconnected rig. It had rained quite a bit so the field was muddy. By the time this once happy couple hooked up to their trailer with one driving and the other directing, they were quite annoyed and their once happy daughter was upset. Even with their four wheel drive dually, a good size tractor had to pull the rig ten feet to the pavement. By the time I arrived home, I decided to automate the process of attachment and enable the trailer to pull itself out of the mud.\n\nMP: Wow, what an interesting back story. I have always said two of the biggest concerns when towing a trailer are a tow vehicle that can safely handle the load and safely stopping all of that weight behind the tow vehicle. How does your hitch system help solve these two major concerns?\n\nJJ: What you are addressing is the importance of the tow vehicle\u2019s braking capacity, braking effectiveness and controllability.\n\nThe first issue addressed during the beginning phase of The Automated Safety Hitch System\u2019s design effort was why did the trailer rig, of the demonstration ride mentioned in answering your first question, not stop effectively. The tow vehicle was a one ton dually in very good condition and we spent time adjusting the brakes of the trailer. After analyzing all the dynamics involved, we realized that the weight shifting of the trailer is the big part of the problem and more braking capacity with braking integration would be very helpful.\n\nHaving been talking to many people who have been pulling trailers for a good number of years, there have not been many people who have heard of the weight shifting phenomenon when stopping. So, what is weight shifting? Without taking a lot of your time now and not drawing dynamic engineering diagrams, let me explain how everyone driving an automobile, pickup truck, van or SUV has experienced the effects of weight shifting every time they stop when not pulling a trailer. The faster you are traveling, and the faster you apply the brakes, the more you notice the front of the vehicle move downward. That downward movement is caused by the weight shifting of the vehicle while stopping. This is why automobile manufacturers place at least 75% of the braking capacity on the front axle. The weight shifting phenomenon is also providing maximum steering effectiveness when you need it the most.\n\nNow, the trailer you are pulling is likely weighing as much or more than the vehicle pulling it.\n\nThe weight shift of the trailer causes the pin weight of the trailer to increase significantly. With the pin weight of the trailer being placed a few inches in front of the pickup truck\u2019s rear axle, the more you are you are trying to stop and the more effective your trailer brakes are the more the pin weight of the trailer is increasing. You have a more serious problem when you have hydraulic trailer brakes with the front of the trailer in the back of the truck. This pushes down on the rear of your truck\u2019s frame causing there to be less weight on your front axle where 75% of your braking is and all of your directional control steering. When you see a rig, having a trailer that is too heavy for the truck pulling it stopped at a traffic light with the weight raised off of the front axle and think that you would never be that foolish, you may be looking somewhat the same when braking, especially if your trailer has hydraulic brakes and the trailer\u2019s king pin or hitch ball is in the back of your truck.\n\nThe Automated Safety Hitch System design enables you to more safely handle the load and more safely stop all of that weight behind the tow vehicle. This is accomplished by removing most of the trailer\u2019s pin weight off of the frame of the vehicle, placing the pin weight slightly in front of its own full size truck\u2019s steerable axle having 75% of the braking capacity of a one ton truck. What we are addressing, by doing this, is the \u201cweight shifting\u201d of the trailer when you are trying to stop.\n\nWe also increase stability by lengthening the vehicle\u2019s wheel base", "base_doc": " lot about him.\"\n\nDE Derek Wolfe\n\n(On his overall feeling of where this defense is\u2026) \"I thought we gelled pretty good.

Let\u2019s talk to Joe right now.\n\nMP: Hi Joe. Thanks for joining me today and for the opportunity to sit down and talk about an important topic like trailer towing safety.\n\nJJ: Hi Mark. Thank you, I appreciate you asking.\n\nMP: I guess the first question would be what exactly is the Automated Safety Hitch?\n\nJJ: The Automated Safety Hitch System is much more than a hitch. It is a system to eliminate the short comings of towing trailers in the back of pickup trucks and a smarter option for owners of long bed trucks, short bed trucks, lifted trucks, and SUVs to pull the safer and more stable 5th wheel and gooseneck trailers instead of bumper pull trailers. The Automated Safety Hitch System is not a trailer. It is classified as a lift or drop axle that better distributes the load of the vehicle.\n\nWhen I first started to buy a gooseneck trailer, during 2003, I looked for structural soundness, accommodations and comfort.\n\nAfter my first demonstration ride I added safety to my shopping list instead of assuming that the truck and trailer industries were addressing safety. During the demonstration ride, the truck in front of us had stopped short due to a vehicle pulling out in front of it. While it looked as though we had sufficient room to stop, with my foot applying steady pressure on the brake pedal, I sat there watching the back of the truck in front of us getting closer and closer until I had steered right to make use of the wide shoulder of the road and came to a stop well past the truck.\n\nMy next stop was checking with my automobile insurance company. There I found that they only cover the liability of pulling a trailer. In other words, my automobile insurance would only cover the damage done by the trailer to people and property if I had an accident or incident. The damage to the trailer would not be covered. When I went to the insurance agency that insured my horses, I was told that there were only insurance policies on the trailer if I financed it. However, the insurance would end when I paid off the note. Wanting to know why, I decided to find out.\n\nWith my Aerospace business, we had a number of large Insurance companies\u2019 flight departments as customers. Calls to the Chief Pilots, of two of these companies, yielded face to face meetings with their officials. Both meetings yielded essentially the same reasons not to insure these trailers. Their main reasons were:\n\n 1. There being a lack of training of the driver.\n 2. There is probably a lack of experience of the driver.\n 3. Their assessment of the trailer electric drum brakes.\n 4. Their belief that the electric drum brakes can be unreliable due to improper maintenance.\n 5. The geometry of the gooseneck trailer cutting to the inside of the turn.\n\nWanting to diversify my business from being so much aviation related and seeing that finding a solution to their concerns would fit our focus to make transportation systems safer, we decided to work on the problems.\n\nWhen we went back to these insurance companies with The Automated Safety Hitch System we were congratulated for addressing all of their concerns. Even their concern of a lack of training of the driver. During the demonstrations, they saw that with The Automated Safety Hitch System, one can essentially just drive the truck normally with The Automated Safety Hitch System taking care of the braking and turning. The demonstrations of maneuverability and controllability were very much appreciated also. Two individuals of one group and one individual of the other group bought an Automated Safety Hitch System for themselves.\n\nWhile the main reasons for The Automated Safety Hitch System was to increase safety by enhancing braking, controllability and maneuverability, the automation came about as an afterthought. While attending a rodeo, I happened to observe this very happy couple approaching their disconnected rig. It had rained quite a bit so the field was muddy. By the time this once happy couple hooked up to their trailer with one driving and the other directing, they were quite annoyed and their once happy daughter was upset. Even with their four wheel drive dually, a good size tractor had to pull the rig ten feet to the pavement. By the time I arrived home, I decided to automate the process of attachment and enable the trailer to pull itself out of the mud.\n\nMP: Wow, what an interesting back story. I have always said two of the biggest concerns when towing a trailer are a tow vehicle that can safely handle the load and safely stopping all of that weight behind the tow vehicle. How does your hitch system help solve these two major concerns?\n\nJJ: What you are addressing is the importance of the tow vehicle\u2019s braking capacity, braking effectiveness and controllability.\n\nThe first issue addressed during the beginning phase of The Automated Safety Hitch System\u2019s design effort was why did the trailer rig, of the demonstration ride mentioned in answering your first question, not stop effectively. The tow vehicle was a one ton dually in very good condition and we spent time adjusting the brakes of the trailer. After analyzing all the dynamics involved, we realized that the weight shifting of the trailer is the big part of the problem and more braking capacity with braking integration would be very helpful.\n\nHaving been talking to many people who have been pulling trailers for a good number of years, there have not been many people who have heard of the weight shifting phenomenon when stopping. So, what is weight shifting? Without taking a lot of your time now and not drawing dynamic engineering diagrams, let me explain how everyone driving an automobile, pickup truck, van or SUV has experienced the effects of weight shifting every time they stop when not pulling a trailer. The faster you are traveling, and the faster you apply the brakes, the more you notice the front of the vehicle move downward. That downward movement is caused by the weight shifting of the vehicle while stopping. This is why automobile manufacturers place at least 75% of the braking capacity on the front axle. The weight shifting phenomenon is also providing maximum steering effectiveness when you need it the most.\n\nNow, the trailer you are pulling is likely weighing as much or more than the vehicle pulling it.\n\nThe weight shift of the trailer causes the pin weight of the trailer to increase significantly. With the pin weight of the trailer being placed a few inches in front of the pickup truck\u2019s rear axle, the more you are you are trying to stop and the more effective your trailer brakes are the more the pin weight of the trailer is increasing. You have a more serious problem when you have hydraulic trailer brakes with the front of the trailer in the back of the truck. This pushes down on the rear of your truck\u2019s frame causing there to be less weight on your front axle where 75% of your braking is and all of your directional control steering. When you see a rig, having a trailer that is too heavy for the truck pulling it stopped at a traffic light with the weight raised off of the front axle and think that you would never be that foolish, you may be looking somewhat the same when braking, especially if your trailer has hydraulic brakes and the trailer\u2019s king pin or hitch ball is in the back of your truck.\n\nThe Automated Safety Hitch System design enables you to more safely handle the load and more safely stop all of that weight behind the tow vehicle. This is accomplished by removing most of the trailer\u2019s pin weight off of the frame of the vehicle, placing the pin weight slightly in front of its own full size truck\u2019s steerable axle having 75% of the braking capacity of a one ton truck. What we are addressing, by doing this, is the \u201cweight shifting\u201d of the trailer when you are trying to stop.\n\nWe also increase stability by lengthening the vehicle\u2019s wheel base while you are pulling the trailer and automatically", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 265162, "pt_loc": 19827179, "pt_shuffle_idx": 29372682, "doc_index_f": 46051802, "doc_index_l": 46051803, "offset_f": 2486, "offset_l": 1674, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 9, "pt_injection_len": 17, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [374, 1675]} -{"pt_doc": ", and the smallest bush has none.\u00a0 That's okay by me.\u00a0 They'll all get another dose of their favorite fertilizer (Miracid) tomorrow (they're getting a nice big drink this morning, I've got the sprinkler running) and plenty of sunshine all season so that next year they'll be bigger and stronger and happy to all make me luscious berries for my breakfast eating pleasure.\u00a0 (Hmm, I just realized that in weeding around my struggling shrub rose bush this morning I stabbed myself repeatedly with the tiny thorns and have blood and little bitty scabs all over my hands.\u00a0 Such is the life of a gardener, I guess.)\u00a0 The shallots and herbs are enjoying life on the patio.\u00a0 It's time to fertilize the shallots too; they like tomato fertilizer because of the high potash content.\u00a0 I've got some, so that goes on the to-do list for tomorrow.\u00a0 The poppies are still blooming and the first lilies are blooming too.\u00a0 Everything seems late to bloom and very scrawny this year, probably because of the drought and heat last year.\n\nDS & DIL1 came over yesterday evening after spending the afternoon at Donald Driver's charity baseball game in Appleton in DS's new employer's luxury box.\u00a0 They had a blast, DIL1's a big Donald Driver fan (he's a recently retired GB Packer football guy who also won Dancing with the Stars and who is also a fantabulous human being).\u00a0 Durwood's Father's Day gift from them was an indoor/outdoor weather system, not just a thermometer; it tells barometric pressure, humidity, temp, date, even the phase of the moon.\u00a0 You hang a sensor outside and it sends the info to the base unit inside.\u00a0 It's a fun weather toy.\u00a0 Be ready for some detailed WI weather reporting, out of town family & friends.\n\nI managed to sit myself down in the shade on the patio for nearly an hour yesterday afternoon to knit.\u00a0 I'm not good at sitting still at all, I keep finding things to do but I managed to resist... for a while anyway.\u00a0 I'm proud to say that I actually let one big (cutting back the hummingbird vines) chore go even though I had the loppers and work gloves out and ready.\u00a0 Go, me!\u00a0 That little job will go on the list for tomorrow.\u00a0 Watch, it'll be raining... ah well, I won't melt, I'm not water soluble.\u00a0 Well, I am eventually but nothing like the Wicked Witch of the West.\u00a0 (how'd she take a shower?\u00a0 she must have smelled bad, no wonder she was cranky)\n\nJune 17--Eugene Delacroix, The Natchez.\u00a0 She lay there in the lee of the dunes.\u00a0 Sand had blown over her, whipped by the storm winds into ropes that lashed the beach grass.\u00a0 The next time she woke the wind had dropped, the waves had calmed a bit, and there were a few peeks of blue sky overhead.\u00a0 She rocked her head back and forth to loosen the stiffness of lying there for so long.\u00a0 She groaned at her stiff muscles and felt bruises from branches that had hit her in the storm.\u00a0 There was sand in her mouth.\u00a0 She needed a drink a water.\u00a0 She needed a shower.\u00a0 She needed a phone.\n\nI have no idea who she is or what she's doing on the beach.\u00a0 I was just glad I wrote that barely a page and could put The Natchez behind me.\u00a0 I don't have a lot of interest in those over-romanticized paintings of \"the noble savage\" from that era (the painting's dated 1835) plus ol' Eugene's French so I'm sure there was a dearth of Native Americans hanging around his studio.\u00a0 Way to imagine, Eugene!!\u00a0 It's Monday which means I have to (no, I GET to) go to work.\u00a0 Will I wear a skirt today?\u00a0 Maybe.\u00a0 Depends on how pasty I think my legs look and if I'm in the mood once I put one on.\u00a0 I'm outta here.\u00a0 It's Cheerios time, plus there's all that showering and combing that desperately needs to get done.\u00a0 Seeyabye.\n\nNo comments:<|endoftext|>Question: Who was the producer of A Separation?\nAnswer: Asghar Farhadi<|endoftext|>go to basket\n\nRed May Crisps\n\nBefore high-fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated vegetable shortening, and \u201cenriched\u201d flour, there were these.

As long as you ultimately reach the dimensions specified, you and the crackers will be fine. There should be very little dough left over\u2014just trimmings.\n\nequipment mise en place\n\nFor this recipe, you will need parchment paper; a food processor; a rolling pin (we prefer a French, or tapered, rolling pin because it feels nimble and agile); a ruler; a fluted pastry or pizza wheel; an 18 by 13-inch baking sheet; and a dinner fork.\n\n\n Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 300 degrees. Cut 2 sheets of parchment paper, each one measuring 16\u00bd by 12 inches. Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Scatter the butter slices over and pulse until the mixture resembles fine meal, about ten 1-second pulses. With the food processor running, add the boiling water slowly (you may not need the full amount), processing until the dough clears the sides of the bowl, about 3 seconds.\n\n\n Transfer the dough to one of the parchment paper sheets. Cover with the second sheet and roll the dough into a 15\u00bd by 12-inch rectangle of even thickness. Using a ruler and a fluted pastry or pizza wheel, trim the edges of the dough that extend beyond the parchment paper (fig. 2.1). Carefully peel off the top sheet of parchment paper. Trim one or both of the short sides so that the dough rectangle measures 15 inches long. Then, along the long side of the rectangle, make small notches marking 6 even rows, each about 2\u00bd inches wide. Along the short side, make small notches marking 6 even rows, each about 2 inches wide. Using the ruler and pastry wheel, cut at the notch marks to divide the rectangle into 36 evenly sized biscuits. Prick each biscuit with a dinner fork (fig. 2.2).\n\n\n Slip the parchment paper onto an inverted 18 by 13-inch sheet pan and bake until the crisps are brown and dry, about 30 minutes. Slide the parchment paper with the crisps onto a wire rack and let cool to room temperature.

He didn't even give Landry a chance to explain what happened that night! Makes no sense...\n\nI've lost track of how old everyone is supposed to be, but I thought Lyla graduated last year.

Would he still be eligible to play HS football at age 20? How ridiculous.\n\nI still like this show though.

Even with the cover up, I think he might have plausibly gotten away with probation or community service or something similar (I mean plausible as a contrived TV storyline not real life). Not sure how this is all going to end now that they've burned their family station wagon. I'm starting to get that bad feeling in my stomach you mentioned you got during the first episode of this season.\n\nAnd the age thing is really distracting me. This episode Jason said he was 19.

I'm not sure about Texas, but in my state it would be stone illegal for the boosters to pay the salary. The coach is an employee of the school district. Eric could have suffered a salary cut simply because he left the district and then returned. When my family was looking at moving a few years ago, the economic consequences would have been staggering; both my wife and I would have lost ten years of salary scale mobility.

I was meant to post something entirely different and music related today but I guess that'll have to wait because, living in the UK there's certainly a lot to be said.\n\nLike any British person will probably tell you, the main issues in the beer world are these:\n\n\nFor people from elsewhere in the world, basically, the beer duty escalator means that duty (tax) on beer will rise by 2% above inflation every year. Pubs are closing rapidly because of this. For instance, here in Norwich we used to have a pub for every day of the year. We had more pubs per square mile than any other UK city. Now, I can't find an exact figure but I can tell you that it is significantly less than 366. Not enough people are drinking in pubs because of this, because of the fact that now, in Norwich the average price of a pint is probably about \u00a33.20 whereas if you buy multipacks from a supermarket, it'll be about 80p a pint. People just stay in. Yesterday a shockingly low number of MPs gathered in Parliament to debate whether to stop the Beer Duty Escalator. I listened to the whole thing. If the BDU was to be scrapped, it would save 5000 jobs in the first year alone... scrapping it is what the economy needs. It'll make everyone happy.\n\n\nTo this, I want to politely respond with a swift \"Fuck off\". I don't care. Why do people care? If we stop arguing about dispense and drink the fucking beer everything will be fine. CAMRA is all up in this bitch saying \"Keg is evil because the beer is all filtered and pasteurised\" and keg purists are like \"Cask beer is dirty because it's fined through fish guts\". Please fuck off. Shut the fuck up. Stop fucking arguing. If you don't like the dispense method, don't drink the cunting beer. Just stop trying to make it out that if someone drinks beer dispensed via the 'wrong' method they're the spawn of Satan. Just everyone shut the fuck up and have a fucking beer.\n\n\nAgain, a swift \"Fuck off\" would suffice but I always have too many words. Expand: Christ Almighty; take the fucking hint from my first point. I don't care. Why do people care? Beer is beer is beer. You'll get some who will argue that craft always means keg. Does it? No. Fuck off. Shut the fuck up. Stop trying to define what craft means. To me, the word craft reminds me of when I was in first school. Craft hour where we'd make shitty fucking cards for our parents by gluing pasta and glitter to a piece of paper. \"Look what I did, mummy!\" \"Oh, Nathaniel, that's wonderful\" when you know inside she was thinking \"This looks really fucking shit\". You can't say what you really think to a child. I guess a lot of breweries that define themselves as 'craft' are quite similar to craft hour at school, in the sense that instead of glueing pasta shapes to paper, they like to shove random shit in beer and shove beer in barrels and they're like \"Look what I did, beer drinkers\" \"Oh, brewery, that's wonderful\" when a lot of us are probably thinking \"Why the fuck have you even done that?\" but a lot of people feel that they can't say that to a brewery because, really, they are our small Children. Basically, if you are defining yourself as craft, just don't and this arguement will be all over and we can just have a beer. You may be craft but saying you're so just causes arguements.\n\nJust these three things would be a great start. Just three fucking things. Three simple things. Well, the first point may not be simple but the others are; aren't they?\n\nTo sum it up:\n\nIf you argue against scrapping the beer duty escalator, fuck off.\n\nIf you argue that either keg or cask is better, fuck off.\n\nIf you're still trying to define craft, fuck off.\n\nIt's all getting old and not doing us any favours.\n\n\nNo comments:\n\nPost a Comment<|endoftext|>\n\nAdoreshare Quick Video Cutter for Windows 1.0 Giveaway\n\nGiveaway of the day\u00a0\u2014 Adoreshare Quick Video Cutter for Windows 1.0\n\nUm f\u00e1cil-para-usar cortador de v\u00eddeo para remover partes indesejadas de v\u00eddeos.\navalia\u00e7\u00e3o do usu\u00e1rio: 81 (71%) 33 (29%) Deixe um coment\u00e1rio\n\nAdoreshare Quick Video Cutter for Windows 1.0 esteve dispon\u00edvel como oferta em 9 de julho de 2017\n\nGiveaway of the Day de Hoje\ngr\u00e1tis hoje\nA ferramenta mais poderosa para apagar todos os conte\u00fados e configura\u00e7\u00f5es do iPhone permanentemente\n\nAdoreshare R\u00e1pida Video Cutter \u00e9 um f\u00e1cil-a-uso de cortador de v\u00eddeo que oferece uma forma bastante simples para remover partes indesejadas de v\u00e1rios v\u00eddeos.

The 1st type of video is better for editing, but means often huge files, along with hardware [like cameras] that can record that volume of data.\n\nTo edit video that does not use all complete frames, software must generate a complete frame for every partial frame recorded, the same as a video player. You have to be careful -- some software can be prone to randomly skip or drop frames in some formats [e.g. AVC], causing audio sync problems. The audio that goes with that video should be in the wav [or wav64 or waveformatex] format -- many editing apps convert it to wav internally -- so that it can be cut &/or joined at the same exact places you cut &/or join the video.\n\nThat all said, the way that video editing normally works, is that when you're done, the video [& audio] is re--encoded, and since most all encoding is Not lossless, that means a loss of quality that's unavoidable. There is a special type of software that tries to avoid that quality loss however, cutting &/or joining the original audio & video without re-encoding it, & that's where Adoreshare Quick Video Cutter fits in. The downside to this type of software is that *Try* is very much the operative word.\n\nThis sort of lossless editing is great when it works, but it can be finicky, with software often only accepting certain formats, sometimes even requiring that a specific encoder, &/or specific encoder settings be used with the original video.

The 1st type of video is better for editing, but means often huge files, along with hardware [like cameras] that can record that volume of data.\n\nTo edit video that does not use all complete frames, software must generate a complete frame for every partial frame recorded, the same as a video player. You have to be careful -- some software can be prone to randomly skip or drop frames in some formats [e.g. AVC], causing audio sync problems. The audio that goes with that video should be in the wav [or wav64 or waveformatex] format -- many editing apps convert it to wav internally -- so that it can be cut &/or joined at the same exact places you cut &/or join the video.\n\nThat all said, the way that video editing normally works, is that when you're done, the video [& audio] is re--encoded, and since most all encoding is Not lossless, that means a loss of quality that's unavoidable. There is a special type of software that tries to avoid that quality loss however, cutting &/or joining the original audio & video without re-encoding it, & that's where Adoreshare Quick Video Cutter fits in. The downside to this type of software is that *Try* is very much the operative word.\n\nThis sort of lossless editing is great when it works, but it can be finicky, with software often only accepting certain formats, sometimes even requiring that a specific encoder, &/or specific encoder settings be used with the original video. And then it can still be iffy -- one version of Vegas Pro worked this way with mpg", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 270070, "pt_loc": 10338446, "pt_shuffle_idx": 29042042, "doc_index_f": 45534570, "doc_index_l": 45534572, "offset_f": 513, "offset_l": 986, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 14, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [88, 974, 987]} -{"pt_doc": " different meaning.

(See the paragraphs from Hutchins, for instance, in the last exercise.) In the interests of style, in fact, a good writer doesn't necessarily want a semantic transition in every sentence and certainly doesn't want semantic transitions in the same position in every sentence of a paragraph. Style, however, is less important than content.\n\nBut the chances are fairly good that you're not yet a skilled writer of arguments. As a very practical exercise, therefore, I want you for the rest of the semester to supply semantic transitions between all of your sentences in the next to final drafts of your arguments. You\u2019ll see that semantic transitions can be a major tool in revising.\n\nIf you don\u2019t have a semantic transition between two sentences in your next to final draft, how do you find one? You can come up with the appropriate one by asking yourself \"what is the relation between the idea in this sentence and the idea in my last sentence?\" That is, you step back from your sentences and account not for the specifics of what two sentences say, but for their general thought relation with one another. Of course, it's possible that you won't be able to come up with a semantic transition.\n\nIf you can't, you may have discovered that you've got an irrelevant sentence, a sentence whose structure doesn't accurately reflect what you mean to say, or a sentence which is in the wrong position in the paragraph. In a word, thinking about semantic transitions can be the key to discovering--and therefore correcting--any number of problems with your argument.\n\nOnce you've got all of the relations clarified, you can then think about style and see which semantic transitions you can eliminate. Where is your writing so clear that the semantic relation can be left implicit? A rule of thumb is that you don't need semantic transitions when your thoughts are continuing in the same direction.\n\n\nExercise: In each of the four paragraphs of \"5. Topic Sentence,\" underline the semantic transitions in every sentence. These semantic transitions show the thought relations between pairs of sentences. In those sentences without explicit semantic transitions, supply ones that properly express the relations between sentences. I want you to focus here on those relations, not on relations between clauses within a single sentence. Set aside those semantic transitions in Fahnstock's chart that can only work internally, for instance, to show relations in complex sentences. We dealt with those transitions in Dr. Syntax 4.\n\n* In addition to semantic transitions, you might use lexical transitions, although these words express less than do the first. Basically, lexical transitions restate or point to, in a variety of ways (simple repetition, use of synonyms, use of pronouns or demonstrative adjectives), something already stated.<|endoftext|>Jump to content\n\nAlcohol Triggering Flashbacks in a Weird Way\n\nRecommended Posts\n\n\nThat isn't the main issue though.

nitrogenous wastes and excess amounts of other solutes and water\n\n4 Challenges in Water In most marine invertebrates, interstitial fluid is like seawater in its concentrations of solutes, so little water is gained or lost by osmosis In vertebrates, body fluids about 1/3 as salty as seawater\n\n5 Challenges in Water Freshwater fish and amphibians constantly gain water and lose solutes Neither can drink water Water move in by osmosis, leaves as dilute urine Solute loss balanced by intake of more solutes with meals and active pumping of sodium into cells of gills and skin at membrane transport proteins Marine bony fish contain les salt and lose water by osmosis Gulp in seawater, gill cells pump out excess solutes, dissolved wastes are excreted in tiny volume of concentrated urine\n\n\n7 Challenges on Land Gain and loss of water:\nWater enters gut through food or drink Do not lose water by way of osmosis Lost it in controlled ways, mainly urinary excretion Urinary excretion: excess water and solutes exit body as urine Some water evaporates from respiratory surfaces, leaves from sweating, small amounts leave through feces\n\n8 Challenges on Land Gain and loss of solutes:\nAbsorption of nutrients from gut, secretions from cells, and release of carbon dioxide wastes adds solutes; air intake from lungs adds oxygen Loose solutes mainly in sweat, respiration, and urinary excretion All exhale carbon dioxide Urea: ammonia, toxic by product of protein metabolism is converted to urea, which is then excreted in urine\n\n9 Components of Urinary System\n2 kidneys 2 ureters Urinary bladder Urethra\n\n10 Components of Urinary System\n2 kidneys: bean-shaped organs about the size of a fist, located between peritoneal lining and abdominal cavity wall, where they flank the backbone\n\n11 Components of Urinary System\nDense connective tissue encapsulates each kidney Beneath capsule is outer tissue zone, kidney cortex Cortex is continuous with kidney medulla, inner zone with pyramid shaped lobes of tissue, appears striated because of long tubes that extend down to a chamber, the renal pelvis\n\n12 Components of Urinary System\nRenal artery: transports blood to kidney Then flows through arterioles, capillaries, and venules in cortex and medulla Venules connect with renal vein, leads out of kidney\n\n13 Components of Urinary System\nUrine forms in kidneys Then enters one of two ureters that connect with muscular sac, the urinary bladder Urinary bladder: has stretch receptors that are stimulated when urine fills the sac Reflex response causes smooth muscle to contract and forces urine into urethra Urethra: muscular tube that opens on to the body surface After age 2-3, urination can be voluntarily controlled by neural signals that act on a sphincter of skeletal muscle at the start of the urethra\n\n\n15 The Nephron Nephron: small functional units that are only one cell thick all along their length Each kidney contains more than a million\n\n\n17 The Nephron Nephron starts in kidney cortex\nNephron\u2019s wall balloons outward like a cup Nephron continues in cortex as a twisting tube Straightens as descends to kidney medulla, then ascends into the cortex There, another convoluted region connects with a collecting duct As many as 8 nephrons can empty into the same duct Duct extends through the kidney medulla and opens into renal pelvis\n\n18 The Nephron The cup shaped entrance = Bowman\u2019s capsule\nAt Bowman\u2019s capsule, thin nephron wall doubles back on itself and encloses walls of highly porous blood vessels clustered inside Glomerular capillaries Bowman\u2019s capsule and glomerular capillaries interact as blood filtering unit Unit= renal corpuscle\n\n19 The Nephron Bowman\u2019s capsule collects fluid that is forced out, under pressure, from glomerular cappilaries Fluid enters proximal convoluted tubule Proximal means region closest to start of nephron Loop of Henle: plunges into medulla, makes hairpin turn, and ascends out of it Distal tubule: convoluted part most distant from entrance of nephron\n\n20 B A D C E F Nephron Glomerular capillaries Bowman\u2019s Capsule\nProximal tubule Distal tubule Collecting duct Loop of Henle A D C E F\n\n21 The Nephron Renal artery branches into afferent arterioles, one for each nephron Delivers blood to glomerular capillaries Capillaires rejoin and form an efferent arteriole, which carries away blood that did not get filtered into Bowman\u2019s capsule Arteriole branches to form peritubular capillaries that thread all around nephron Rejoin as venules, which join renal vein leading out of kidney\n\n22 The Nephron Urine forms continually by 3 processes that exchange water and solutes between all of the nephrons, glomerular capillaries, and peritubular capillaries Glomerular filtration Tubular reabsorption Tubular secretion Each minute nephrons in both kidneys filter close to 125 milliliters of fluid from the blood flowing past = 180 L/day\n\n23 Urine Formation: Glomerular Filtration\nBlood pressure generated by heart drives glomerular filtration, first step of urine formation In glomerular capillaries inside Bowman\u2019s capsule of each nephron, pressure forces out 20% of volume of plasma Cell wall of glomerular capillaries, the inner cell wall of Bowman\u2019s capsule, and basement membrane between them are like a sieve They nonselectivly let everything (water, ions, glucose, etc.) besides blood components become the filtrate\n\n24 Urine Formation: Glomerular Filtration\n\n25 Urine Formation: Glomerular Filtration\nVolume of blood kidneys must handle at any time is adjusted at afferent arterioles that deliver blood to nephron Will vasodilate in response to signals from sympathetic neurons (blood pressure increases) Will vasoconstrict when blood pressure decreases If too much fluid enters body- reflex pathway overrides sympathetic signals, vasdilates\n\n26 Urine Formation: Tubular Reabsorption\nNephron (proximal tubule), gives back most of filtrate, in amounts required to maintain volume and composition of internal environment Tubular reabsorption: variety of substances leak or get pumped out of nephron, diffuse through interstitial fluid, and enter peritubuler capillary Returns close to 99% of filtrates water, 100% of glucose and A.A, all but 0.5% of Na+, and 50% of urea to blood\n\n27 Urine Formation: Tubular Reabsorption\nCotransporters span plasma membrane of cells making up nephrons tubular walls As filtrate flows through proximal tubule, ions and some nutrients are actively and passively transported outward, into interstitial fluid Water follows by osmosis Cells making up peritubular capillaries transport them into blood, water follows by osmosis Passive transporters: Na+ and glucose Sodium potassium pump Electrochemical gradient: Na+, Cl- Osmosis\n\n28 Urine Formation: Tubular Reabsorption\nOccurs at Proximal Tubule\n\n29 Urine Formation: Tubular Secretion\nUrea, H+, K+, other wastes, end up in blood Tubular Secretion: transporters in walls of peritubular capillaries move ions into interstitial fluid Transporters in tubular wall of nephrons move them from interstitial fluid into filtrate, can be excreted in urine Secretion of H+ is maintaining body\u2019s acid-base balance\n\n30 Urine Formation: Concentrating the Urine\nKidney\u2019s cortex, filtrate is isotonic with interstitial fluid No net movement of water from one to another Kidney\u2019s medulla, interstitial fluid is hypertonic Draws water out of filtrate by osmosis, along loop of Henle\u2019s descending limb Filtrate becomes most concentrated and attracts most water by hairpin turn\n\n31 Urine Formation: Concentrating the Urine\nLoop of Henle\u2019s wall after turn is impermeable to water Transporters in ascending limb actively pump Na+ and Cl-, which makes interstitial fluid in medulla even saltier, which draws out even more water before hairpin turn Countercurrent mechanism: transporters are altering composition of filtrate that is flowing in opposite direction inside loop of Henle\n\n\n33 Thirst Mechanism When you do not drink enough water\nSolute concentration in blood is high, which slows saliva secretions into mouth Drier mouth stimulates nerve endings that signal thirst center Region of hypothalamus Thirst center also receives signals from osmoreceptors that detect rise of blood level of sodium inside brain Thirst center notifies other centres in cerebral cortex, which compel you to search for and drink fluid Hormonal controls act to conserve water already inside body\n\n34 Effect of ADH ADH: antidiuretic hormone\nWhen signaled by osmoreceptors, hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete ADH Promotes water conservation ADH makes walls of distal tubules and collecting ducts more permeable to water, thus urine becomes more concentrated As volume of extracellular fluid rises and solute concentration declines, ADH secretion slows\n\n35 Effect of ADH Loss of blood pressure or nausea and vomiting can also trigger ADH secretions Aquaporines selectively allow water to diffuse rapidly across plasma membrane ADH alters reabsorption in target cells by affecting these passive transporters\n\n36 Effect of Aldosterone Aldosterone: hormone stimulates production of sodium- potassium pumps and their insertion into the plasma membrane of cells in collecting", "base_doc": "olute balance Urine: fluid excreted from the body, contains nitrogenous wastes and excess amounts of other solutes and water\n\n4 Challenges in Water In most marine invertebrates, interstitial fluid is like seawater in its concentrations of solutes, so little water is gained or lost by osmosis In vertebrates, body fluids about 1/3 as salty as seawater\n\n5 Challenges in Water Freshwater fish and amphibians constantly gain water and lose solutes Neither can drink water Water move in by osmosis, leaves as dilute urine Solute loss balanced by intake of more solutes with meals and active pumping of sodium into cells of gills and skin at membrane transport proteins Marine bony fish contain les salt and lose water by osmosis Gulp in seawater, gill cells pump out excess solutes, dissolved wastes are excreted in tiny volume of concentrated urine\n\n\n7 Challenges on Land Gain and loss of water:\nWater enters gut through food or drink Do not lose water by way of osmosis Lost it in controlled ways, mainly urinary excretion Urinary excretion: excess water and solutes exit body as urine Some water evaporates from respiratory surfaces, leaves from sweating, small amounts leave through feces\n\n8 Challenges on Land Gain and loss of solutes:\nAbsorption of nutrients from gut, secretions from cells, and release of carbon dioxide wastes adds solutes; air intake from lungs adds oxygen Loose solutes mainly in sweat, respiration, and urinary excretion All exhale carbon dioxide Urea: ammonia, toxic by product of protein metabolism is converted to urea, which is then excreted in urine\n\n9 Components of Urinary System\n2 kidneys 2 ureters Urinary bladder Urethra\n\n10 Components of Urinary System\n2 kidneys: bean-shaped organs about the size of a fist, located between peritoneal lining and abdominal cavity wall, where they flank the backbone\n\n11 Components of Urinary System\nDense connective tissue encapsulates each kidney Beneath capsule is outer tissue zone, kidney cortex Cortex is continuous with kidney medulla, inner zone with pyramid shaped lobes of tissue, appears striated because of long tubes that extend down to a chamber, the renal pelvis\n\n12 Components of Urinary System\nRenal artery: transports blood to kidney Then flows through arterioles, capillaries, and venules in cortex and medulla Venules connect with renal vein, leads out of kidney\n\n13 Components of Urinary System\nUrine forms in kidneys Then enters one of two ureters that connect with muscular sac, the urinary bladder Urinary bladder: has stretch receptors that are stimulated when urine fills the sac Reflex response causes smooth muscle to contract and forces urine into urethra Urethra: muscular tube that opens on to the body surface After age 2-3, urination can be voluntarily controlled by neural signals that act on a sphincter of skeletal muscle at the start of the urethra\n\n\n15 The Nephron Nephron: small functional units that are only one cell thick all along their length Each kidney contains more than a million\n\n\n17 The Nephron Nephron starts in kidney cortex\nNephron\u2019s wall balloons outward like a cup Nephron continues in cortex as a twisting tube Straightens as descends to kidney medulla, then ascends into the cortex There, another convoluted region connects with a collecting duct As many as 8 nephrons can empty into the same duct Duct extends through the kidney medulla and opens into renal pelvis\n\n18 The Nephron The cup shaped entrance = Bowman\u2019s capsule\nAt Bowman\u2019s capsule, thin nephron wall doubles back on itself and encloses walls of highly porous blood vessels clustered inside Glomerular capillaries Bowman\u2019s capsule and glomerular capillaries interact as blood filtering unit Unit= renal corpuscle\n\n19 The Nephron Bowman\u2019s capsule collects fluid that is forced out, under pressure, from glomerular cappilaries Fluid enters proximal convoluted tubule Proximal means region closest to start of nephron Loop of Henle: plunges into medulla, makes hairpin turn, and ascends out of it Distal tubule: convoluted part most distant from entrance of nephron\n\n20 B A D C E F Nephron Glomerular capillaries Bowman\u2019s Capsule\nProximal tubule Distal tubule Collecting duct Loop of Henle A D C E F\n\n21 The Nephron Renal artery branches into afferent arterioles, one for each nephron Delivers blood to glomerular capillaries Capillaires rejoin and form an efferent arteriole, which carries away blood that did not get filtered into Bowman\u2019s capsule Arteriole branches to form peritubular capillaries that thread all around nephron Rejoin as venules, which join renal vein leading out of kidney\n\n22 The Nephron Urine forms continually by 3 processes that exchange water and solutes between all of the nephrons, glomerular capillaries, and peritubular capillaries Glomerular filtration Tubular reabsorption Tubular secretion Each minute nephrons in both kidneys filter close to 125 milliliters of fluid from the blood flowing past = 180 L/day\n\n23 Urine Formation: Glomerular Filtration\nBlood pressure generated by heart drives glomerular filtration, first step of urine formation In glomerular capillaries inside Bowman\u2019s capsule of each nephron, pressure forces out 20% of volume of plasma Cell wall of glomerular capillaries, the inner cell wall of Bowman\u2019s capsule, and basement membrane between them are like a sieve They nonselectivly let everything (water, ions, glucose, etc.) besides blood components become the filtrate\n\n24 Urine Formation: Glomerular Filtration\n\n25 Urine Formation: Glomerular Filtration\nVolume of blood kidneys must handle at any time is adjusted at afferent arterioles that deliver blood to nephron Will vasodilate in response to signals from sympathetic neurons (blood pressure increases) Will vasoconstrict when blood pressure decreases If too much fluid enters body- reflex pathway overrides sympathetic signals, vasdilates\n\n26 Urine Formation: Tubular Reabsorption\nNephron (proximal tubule), gives back most of filtrate, in amounts required to maintain volume and composition of internal environment Tubular reabsorption: variety of substances leak or get pumped out of nephron, diffuse through interstitial fluid, and enter peritubuler capillary Returns close to 99% of filtrates water, 100% of glucose and A.A, all but 0.5% of Na+, and 50% of urea to blood\n\n27 Urine Formation: Tubular Reabsorption\nCotransporters span plasma membrane of cells making up nephrons tubular walls As filtrate flows through proximal tubule, ions and some nutrients are actively and passively transported outward, into interstitial fluid Water follows by osmosis Cells making up peritubular capillaries transport them into blood, water follows by osmosis Passive transporters: Na+ and glucose Sodium potassium pump Electrochemical gradient: Na+, Cl- Osmosis\n\n28 Urine Formation: Tubular Reabsorption\nOccurs at Proximal Tubule\n\n29 Urine Formation: Tubular Secretion\nUrea, H+, K+, other wastes, end up in blood Tubular

Three different forms of script developed in the Hijaz, particularly in the cities of Mecca and Medina. One of these was the al-Ma\u2019il script, unique in the early days in that the letters were vertically inscribed and were written at a slight angle. The very word al-Ma\u2019il means \u201cthe slanting\u201d script.\u201d The upright character of this script gave rise to the use of a vertical format for each codex in the form that most books are published today. This script survived for about two centuries before falling into disuse and all manuscripts bearing its form are of obvious antiquity. A sign of its early origin is the fact that it employed no vowel marks or diacritical points and also had no verse counts or chapter headings. Only a very few examples of Quranic script in al-Ma\u2019il survive, the most well-known being a manuscript occasionally placed on public display in the British Museum in London.\n\nThe second early script originating\u2019 from Medina was the Mashq, the \u201cextended\u201d style which continued to be used for many centuries and which went through a process of development and improvement. Unlike the al-Ma\u2019il , the Mashq was horizontal in form and can be distinguished by its somewhat cursive and leisurely style. Gradually the developed Mashq script came to closely resemble the Kufic script, yet it always retained its particular characteristic, namely a balanced dispersal of its words and letters in varying degrees of density. It was supplemented by coloured diacritical points and vowel marks in the same way that the more predominant Kufic script was in later years.\n\nA script which also derives from the Hijaz is the Naskh the \u201cinscriptional\u201d script. This took some time to come into vogue but, when it did, it largely displaced the Kufic script and became the standard for most Qurans from the eleventh century onwards and is the script used in virtually all printed Qurans today. A very good example of a complete Quran text in Naskh which is hardly different to contemporary Qurans is the manuscript done by Ibn al- Bawwab at Baghdad in 1001 AD which is now in the Chester Beatty Library at Dublin in Ireland. It differs slightly from the Naskh script of most Mamluk Qurans and has a more oriental character.\n\nThe script that most concerns any student of the earliest Ouran manuscripts is the Kufic script, properly known as al-Khatt al-Kufi. its title does not hint at any particular characteristic form of its script as the others from the Hijaz do but indicates its place of origin. It derives from Kufa in Iraq where Ibn Mas\u2019ud\u2019 s codex had been highly prized until Uthman ordered its destruction. It was only after this event that the Quran text as we know it came to be written in Kufic script in this region and it took some time to become predominant but, when it did, it attained a pre-eminence for three centuries as the approved script of the Quran until it was largely displaced by the Naskh script. It reached its perfection during the late eighth century (up to one hundred and fifty years after Muhammad\u2019s death) and thereafter it became widely used throughout the Muslim world. Like the Mashq script it employs a largely horizontal, extended style and as a result most of the codices compiled in Kufic were oblong in format. Its letters are more rigid and austere in character than the Mashq script, however. large numbers of manuscripts and single leaves of Quran texts in Kufic survive from various centres, most of which date from the late eighth century to the early eleventh century. Here too the text became supplemented with vowel marks and coloured diacritical points in time.\n\nNo Kufic Qurans are known to have been written in Mecca and Medina in the very early days when the al-Ma\u2019il and Mashq scripts were most regularly used and none of the surviving early Kufic texts are attributed by modern scholars to this region. In any event even the rare complete Kufic Qurans that have survived lack proper colophons giving the time and place of the transcribing of the text and the name of its calligrapher so that it is virtually impossible to date or locate them with any degree of certainty.\n\nThe history of the written text of the Quran would tend to suggest, as a general principle, that all manuscripts in the al-Mail or Mashq scripts derive from the Hijaz, usually the second century of Islam with the exception of the developed Mashq texts which would be of later date and more widespread origin, Surviving Kufic Qurans can generally be dated from the late eighth century depending on the extent of development in the character of the script in each case, and it is grossly improbable that any of these were written in Mecca or Medina before the beginning of the ninth century.\n\n\nExtract from Jam\u2019 Al-Quran by John Gilchrist\n\nOne Response to \u201cThe Quranic Scripts\u201d\n\n\n I agreed your comments but you are correct in reality my english is not perfect i am urdu speaking my knwoledge is correct othman quran usman ghani after the Muhammad written and mixing in the quran usman ghani quran in my hand 150-picture I am very tension check this quran many diffrences today quran you please my help and please provide me all uthman quran I read this quran thanking you-\n\nLeave a Reply<|endoftext|>Supply and demand and small ice\n\nEnergy efficient LED lights illuminate the cabinet and the top sign ensuring no consumer misses the chance to grab their bag of ice.

Could be a whole lot of water too.\n\n\nNo one will know until Matt Simmons reveals the true numbers and the actual source.\n\nIf the bullhead kill works,\nWill Secretary Chu take credit for stopping the earlier attempts when BP wanted to make more attempts.\nWe know that the US govt. has been in charge of this since Obama told the nation that he had made the Secretary the final decision maker.\nSo, if it now turns out that the well could have been killed with mud several months ago,\nWill the U S Govt. take credit for the extra months of oil leaking?\n\nSure, BP screwed up the well and initiated the leak. does the company have the right to prevent additional damage?\nThen there are the high priced consultants that have profited by giving advice to Chu. If it developes that they were in error and the well could have been killed months ago, will they step up and pay back the money they took for developing the scare stories? What will Matt Simmons owe for presenting the second well fantasy that has scared most of Florida into a vacation depression? How rich was he supposed to be? Then there are ones who simply got checks for conversations and influenced the incorrect decisions of Chu. What will their liability be? Who has the phone logs or will they voluntarily come foreward and pay?\n\nIt sure will be an interesting situation that is going to play out. It sure is great that there is nothing further leaking into the GoM. And I hope the lady with the skin problems on her legs was able to find some satisfactory treatment for whatever caused it.\n\nHey Wayless, can you please find SOMETHING that you DON'T blame Obama and Chu for?\n\nYour shtick is tiresome.\n\nI am waiting until you start blaming Obama for the original leak.\n\nYou missed it, evidently.\nI wrote that BP was responsible for the blowout.\nWhy would you want to suggest that I thought Obama or Chu were responsible?\nHow long were you with Pravda?\n\nAgain, your shtick is tiresome.\n\nI am an American citizen since '82 and have done FAR more for this country than \"me first\" folks like yourself can ever hope to accomplish.\n\nI find your propaganda filled commentary mostly off-topic, irrelevant and if trying to make a point, it is usually quite simple, if not to say stupid.\n\nIn your above missive, you exhibit complete lack of understanding of risk management. You use your uncommon ignorance to attack those you perceive as your political opponents. It is not based on facts or knowledge, but rather on your intense and abiding hatred of the current administration.\n\nYou were trained as a propagandist from the cradle. It shows in the post above and most others you write. Most striking is that you can hardly write a post without some political porpaganda included.

Once you know how it all works, you can create a website and start selling your digital artwork on your own terms.\u00a0 Have You Created Your NFT Collection Yet? NFT collections are a great way to showcase your work and one of the most profitable business ideas these days. However, getting started with NFTs requires some serious know-how, plus some tech skills. Still, since they are gaining in popularity and people are becoming interested in this type of art, it\u2019s the most profitable eCommerce business. If you\u2019re lucky, you can become rich in the process. Write Your eBook and Sell It Online If you take pride in your writing skills, you can write an eBook and sell it online. This is a fantastic business idea if you have some expertise that you can share with others. It could be anything from writing a self-help book, a piece of fiction, or your autobiography.\u00a0 As with all other eCommerce business ideas on this list - it won\u2019t rake in instant profit. You'll need to invest some time in writing your eBook, editing it, and ultimately - promoting it. However, once it's finished, you'll be able to sell it over and over again and make a great income.\u00a0 Start a Print-on-Demand Line of Products If you're looking for a business idea that doesn't require a lot of money upfront, starting a print-on-demand line of products can be your thing. For example, starting a T-shirt business is an excellent way to become a small business owner, but you don\u2019t have to limit your offer to T-shirts.\u00a0 Print on demand involves creating T-shirts, pillows, phone cases, puzzles, or mugs. It\u2019s one of the best eCommerce stores to start since you can set up a printing process at home. Alternately, depending on your budget, you can rely on a service to have these custom printed when someone makes a purchase. If you decide to go with a print-on-demand business model, you don't have to carry any inventory, and you can start with modest upfront investment. There are a number of excellent platforms that allow you to print on demand, and many of them offer support for marketing and promoting your products. These platforms also charge commissions for their services, so you might not be able to get as much profit as you\u2019d hope for. Luckily, this eCommerce business idea is scalable, so you can switch your initial setup into one that works better for your new online business anytime. Create Your Online Restaurant If you have been toying with the idea of setting up a food truck, why not start it online? This could include anything from homemade meals, jams, organic food, cakes, and baked goods, to handmade pet treats for our little furry friends. If you decide to go with a restaurant-type online business, make sure to find a good website builder designed for restaurants. This will allow you to create a website that includes a menu and other relevant features to help your restaurant grow into a profitable eCommerce business. Fill a Niche Food Role These days, people are looking for convenience, especially when it comes to their meals. If you can fulfill this role and provide them with easy solutions for their meal planning, you might make a big buck online.\u00a0 Online grocery stores, meal-making kits, and fresh or frozen food subscription boxes are skyrocketing in popularity. After all, the online purchase of restaurant/meal kit delivery amounted to 33% of all online purchase categories in 2018, and the growth didn\u2019t stop.\u00a0 This is becoming more prominent, especially for niche products and dietary restrictions, such as vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free. If you\u2019re thinking of running a food business as someone who loves this type of food, it could be the perfect choice among our ideas for eCommerce businesses to start. Start an Online Pet Store Another great eCommerce business idea is to start an online pet store. If you love animals, this could be an awesome online business for you. You can sell pet supplies, food, toys, and more. You can also offer pet-sitting services or dog-walking services through your eCommerce business.\u00a0 To get started, create a website or blog to showcase your products and services. Use social media to spread the word and attract customers. With dedication and effective marketing activities, you can build a successful online eCommerce business. Set Up a Shop To Sell Vintage Items\u00a0 Do you have a passion for collecting vintage items? If so, why not join one of the most profitable eCommerce businesses ever? You can sell vintage clothes, furniture, art, and other collectibles that you've accumulated over the years. These eCommerce business ideas are a great way to make money online if you have an eye for spotting valuable items. Just be sure to do your research before listing anything for sale, as you don't want to undervalue your items. Provide Services Online Almost any service that you could provide in a brick-and-mortar venue - you can also provide through your eCommerce store. If you\u2019re searching for eCommerce business ideas, you don\u2019t have to sell physical products. Instead, it could be anything from digital marketing or personal shopping to expert consulting services - anything you could already be providing offline. If you have a skill or expertise that you think people or businesses would be willing to pay for, start offering your services online through your eCommerce business. You can promote your services through a website or social media and start making money. Not sure which business you should transfer online? Here are some eCommerce business ideas for services. Provide Online Classes or Tutoring Online You can make money online by providing services such as consulting, coaching, or tutoring. Online education is gaining popularity, and you should jump on the bandwagon if you have skills to share. This is a great way to monetize your skills and knowledge. Just be sure to set your prices competitively and market your services in a way that speaks to your target group. Depending on your expertise, you could consider various potentially profitable eCommerce businesses. You can provide one-on-one courses via Zoom, for example, or pre-record lessons and charge subscriptions. Make sure to find the right medium for transferring knowledge to your audience.\u00a0 Translate for Others If you know a second language, not only can you offer online courses as your eCommerce business, but you can also start a freelance translation business from home.\u00a0 You can start by creating a website or blog to promote your services. As with all good eCommerce ideas on our list, acquiring new clients will take some time. You can also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to spread the word.

It seemed so tight and controlled, so forced and fragile at the same time.\n\nI thought that focus meant blocking out, and I did not want to block out.\n\nThe Fear Of Focus\n\nWhy was I afraid of focus?\n\nFocusing seemed short-sighted when I wanted to be holistic. How can you be whole and fully awake when you are blocking out something or someone?\n\nIf being intentional is the Holy Grail of consciousness did focus take you away from it? Focus seemed like putting on blinders which meant giving up your integrity and I did not like that.\n\nThe Attraction Of Focus\n\nFocus also seemed to offer hope.\n\nI wanted access to my full creativity so I knew that I had to be able to fully immerse myself in what I was doing.\n\nI also knew from my learning about Ayurveda that intelligence exists in all aspects of ourselves not just in our minds so I thought that focus could help me listen to all aspects of myself and the world as well..\n\nEugene Gendlin wrote a famous book about focus aptly named\u00a0Focus. Eugene Gendlin who operates the\u00a0Focusing Institute\u00a0decribes focus on his website:\n\n\u201cFocusing is a mode of inward\u00a0bodily\u00a0attention that most people don\u2019t know about yet. It is more than being in touch with your feelings and different from body work. Focusing occurs exactly at the interface of body-mind. It consists of specific steps for getting a body sense of how you are in a particular life situation. The\u00a0body sense\u00a0is unclear and vague at first, but if you pay attention it will open up into words or images and you experience a\u00a0felt shift\u00a0in your body. In the process of Focusing, one experiences a physical change in the way that the issue is being lived in the body. We learn to live in a deeper place than just thoughts or feelings. The whole issue looks different and new solutions arise.\u201d\n\nThe Benefits Of Focusing\n\nFocusing is a different way of engaging with life that allows us our full intelligence. \u00a0It is more that a gut instinct, it is a felt sense that brings us complete information or a centered wholeness if we will allow it. \u00a0More than 80\u00a0studies\u00a0have been conducted to validate the effectiveness of focusing.\n\nWhen in a state of focus, we operate from a very relaxed place. Highly sensitive people who suffer from stress and overwhelm can benefit from learning focusing. Meditation facilitates detachment from the ego state which opens us to the potential of the mind body connection and focusing. Focusing facilitates access to our deeper knowing.\n\nFor HSP\u2019s who often have difficulty with stress, ADD, and depression, the focusing technique can help them access the best in themselves. \u00a0Combined with other healing techniques, focusing offers HSP\u2019s the opportunity for greater confidence and ease in their daily lives.\n\n\n\n 1. says\n\n\n\nLeave a Reply\n\n<|endoftext|>Introversion and Self Denial (aka.

Photo: Ray Mickshaw/FX\n\nGet the american horror story recap delivered every week.\n\nAmerican Horror Story\nEpisode Title\nBattle Royale\nEditor\u2019s Rating\n\nQueenie! I squealed at the screen when I saw Gabourey Sidibe show up in the lobby of the Hotel Cortez, sporting her signature poppin' lipgloss and multicolored hair. Sadly, though, this refugee from American Horror Story: Coven didn't last very long. She survived the never-ending torture of working in a fried chicken joint in hell, only to be felled by James Patrick March two seasons later. Does that mean she'll stick around the hotel for good?\n\nAs much as I loved seeing Queenie \u2014\u00a0and as much as I hate that she's robbed from playing Plinko on The Price Is Right \u2014 her appearance points out two big problems with the season. The first is the connections between anthology chapters. It's one thing when you have the Realtor from Murder House showing Will Drake the Cortez, since she was just a bit character who appears in two different seasons with no real effect on either story. The same actress plays the same role in both chapters. Sidibe has no role in the Hotel universe, so she can play Queenie without confusion.\n\nBut why doesn't she recognize Ramona Royale as, you know, Marie Laveau? They're the same damn person! Well, they're different, but they look exactly the same. Not only that, but Ramona/Marie drinks her blood right up when March kills her. So, yes, that means one actor can play two totally different characters who co-exist side-by-side, but if all of these universes are connected, does that mean that Ramona and Marie could be in the same room together? Would they bring up the fact that they look like identical twins? How does this all work?\n\nAlso, since we're talking about Ramona eating Queenie's blood: We know that it's powerful because she says she has \"grizzly bears running through [her] veins,\" but shouldn't she also have Queenie's powers now? Probably not, but I really wanted her to have gain witch powers. That would have been seriously cool, like Cleopatra Jones cool. Can't Ramona please have powers?\n\nAlso, if Queenie died in the hotel, does that mean her ghost will be stuck there forever? And, if so, why don't we see her again? The same goes for the Kurt and Courtney stand-ins that Sally human-centipeded. Why is she the one that becomes the ghost, rather than the two of them? And why is there no gaggle of children with vampire smallpox running around the hotel, looking for candy and outlets so they can charge their smartphones? It's as if you only get to become a ghost if you're a main character or Naomi Campbell.\n\nThere are an awful lot of deaths in \"Battle Royale.\" Not only does Queenie get felled by a ghost, but Donovan dies in the gutter, yards away from the eternal clutches of the hotel's lobby. The biggest downfall is the Countess, of course, who gets gunned down twice: first by Liz Taylor and then by Iris. She escapes long enough to recuperate, thanks to an assist from Sally and two of her blond babies with bad haircuts. Then, just as she's leaving the Cortez for good \u2014\u00a0and after she cedes control of the hotel to her ex-lover Ramona \u2014 John finally kills her. He cuts off her head and mounts it as a trophy for March, who has collected the full set of Ten Commandments deaths like they're some kind of Star Wars toy given out at McDonalds.\n\nI know that people either love or hate Lady Gaga's performance, but I think she's absolutely stunning in these scenes. She shows us just the right amount of pain, tempered with arch indifference. The moment when she struggles under Sally's needle is especially great, particularly as she murmurs, \"Your timing is off,\" with the faintest hint of a growl. Another stellar scene: Her standoff with Ramona, when the two circle each other like two dingos trying to eat the same baby. \"I'm not used to this. Cut me some slack, bitch.\" Gold stars all around.\n\nSpeaking of outstanding, can we just give the show's costume crew their Emmy now and be done with it? The Countess slayed in her bustled traveling number, which she wore to the elevator just to be murdered while wearing it. The black dress she wears to her final dinner with March \u2014\u00a0the one with the huge shoulder embellishment and the plunging neckline \u2014\u00a0is perhaps the most exquisite thing she's worn all season. I wouldn't mind being stuck in that little number for the rest of existence. And while we're praising killer ensembles, how about the black dress Ramona borrows from Liz Taylor?

Photo: Ray Mickshaw/FX\n\nGet the american horror story recap delivered every week.\n\nAmerican Horror Story\nEpisode Title\nBattle Royale\nEditor\u2019s Rating\n\nQueenie! I squealed at the screen when I saw Gabourey Sidibe show up in the lobby of the Hotel Cortez, sporting her signature poppin' lipgloss and multicolored hair. Sadly, though, this refugee from American Horror Story: Coven didn't last very long. She survived the never-ending torture of working in a fried chicken joint in hell, only to be felled by James Patrick March two seasons later. Does that mean she'll stick around the hotel for good?\n\nAs much as I loved seeing Queenie \u2014\u00a0and as much as I hate that she's robbed from playing Plinko on The Price Is Right \u2014 her appearance points out two big problems with the season. The first is the connections between anthology chapters. It's one thing when you have the Realtor from Murder House showing Will Drake the Cortez, since she was just a bit character who appears in two different seasons with no real effect on either story. The same actress plays the same role in both chapters. Sidibe has no role in the Hotel universe, so she can play Queenie without confusion.\n\nBut why doesn't she recognize Ramona Royale as, you know, Marie Laveau? They're the same damn person! Well, they're different, but they look exactly the same. Not only that, but Ramona/Marie drinks her blood right up when March kills her. So, yes, that means one actor can play two totally different characters who co-exist side-by-side, but if all of these universes are connected, does that mean that Ramona and Marie could be in the same room together? Would they bring up the fact that they look like identical twins? How does this all work?\n\nAlso, since we're talking about Ramona eating Queenie's blood: We know that it's powerful because she says she has \"grizzly bears running through [her] veins,\" but shouldn't she also have Queenie's powers now? Probably not, but I really wanted her to have gain witch powers. That would have been seriously cool, like Cleopatra Jones cool. Can't Ramona please have powers?\n\nAlso, if Queenie died in the hotel, does that mean her ghost will be stuck there forever? And, if so, why don't we see her again? The same goes for the Kurt and Courtney stand-ins that Sally human-centipeded. Why is she the one that becomes the ghost, rather than the two of them? And why is there no gaggle of children with vampire smallpox running around the hotel, looking for candy and outlets so they can charge their smartphones? It's as if you only get to become a ghost if you're a main character or Naomi Campbell.\n\nThere are an awful lot of deaths in \"Battle Royale.\" Not only does Queenie get felled by a ghost, but Donovan dies in the gutter, yards away from the eternal clutches of the hotel's lobby. The biggest downfall is the Countess, of course, who gets gunned down twice: first by Liz Taylor and then by Iris. She escapes long enough to recuperate, thanks to an assist from Sally and two of her blond babies with bad haircuts. Then, just as she's leaving the Cortez for good \u2014\u00a0and after she cedes control of the hotel to her ex-lover Ramona \u2014 John finally kills her. He cuts off her head and mounts it as a trophy for March, who has collected the full set of Ten Commandments deaths like they're some kind of Star Wars toy given out at McDonalds.\n\nI know that people either love or hate Lady Gaga's performance, but I think she's absolutely stunning in these scenes. She shows us just the right amount of pain, tempered with arch indifference. The moment when she struggles under Sally's needle is especially great, particularly as she murmurs, \"Your timing is off,\" with the faintest hint of a growl. Another stellar scene: Her standoff with Ramona, when the two circle each other like two dingos trying to eat the same baby. \"I'm not used to this. Cut me some slack, bitch.\" Gold stars all around.\n\nSpeaking of outstanding, can we just give the show's costume crew their Emmy now and be done with it? The Countess slayed in her bustled traveling number, which she wore to the elevator just to be murdered while wearing it. The black dress she wears to her final dinner with March \u2014\u00a0the one with the huge shoulder embellishment and the plunging neckline \u2014\u00a0is perhaps the most exquisite thing she's worn all season. I wouldn't mind being stuck in that little number for the rest of existence. And while we're praising killer ensembles, how about the black dress Ramona borrows from Liz Taylor? Oh, and don't Liz and Iris look amazing when they shoot the Countess? Their looks are right out of Gucci Spring 2016.\n\nWith only one episode left, \"Battle Royale\" brings everything together nicely, wrapping up many of the season's story lines. John is finished as the Ten Commandments Killer, March can be with the Ghost Countess for all eternity, Iris and Liz got their revenge, Ramona is freed from her prison, the anti-vaxxer kiddies have all been eaten up, and we finally learned that it was Miss Evers, not the Countess, who called the cops on March way back in the 1920s.\n\nMare Winningham, who is so down-to-earth on The Affair, has been wonderfully daffy all season.

However, I believe that it might be worthwhile to expand and question what we define as a \u201cclassic\u201d today and what it means to make them \u201cmore widely available\u201d. What we refer to as Classics are texts (in the semiotic sense) that are being increasingly digested and made available to young audiences by the unguided trajectories of popular cultures; whether or not you are inclined to regard the reworking in a film or video game as a dignified transformation of a classic, that representation might probably be enjoying a larger popular success than the classic itself at that moment.

I havent seen any Exxons or other operations going into Iraq since this stuff started. Thats full blown Indian country. There are those that said there was no WMD.

Those 15000KW AWACs planes could fly over the countryside at low level and microwave them in their own skins with their radars. But thats inhumane. If we were there for the oil why is gas so high? Where is the increase in flow? If we were there for someone other than Al Qaeda and Saddam, then who are we shooting up? I have heard of only three airstrikes in a month. Trust me.

Cant do what you want and defend the country or provide for all of this stuff we have allowed ourselves to get goat roped into. Its socialism in a capitalist society and thats doomed to fail period.

The exploitation of countries on this planet has been going on since we invented the ability to use a club. Thats a moot point as far as I am concerned. We are in Iraq for Al Qaeda, nothing more. You think we are there for the oil? Fine think that because all of the known oil there will be gone in under 30 years. Same thing in Saudi Arabia. I havent seen any Exxons or other operations going into Iraq since this stuff started. Thats full blown Indian country. There are those that said there was no WMD. Fine think that and remember that Saddam did have enough VX that was UN verified to kill everyone on the planet. Where did that go?\n\n Bombing? Think again. We dont have to bomb. Those 15000KW AWACs planes could fly over the countryside at low level and microwave them in their own skins with their radars. But thats inhumane. If we were there for the oil why is gas so high? Where is the increase in flow? If we were there for someone other than Al Qaeda and Saddam, then who are we shooting up? I have heard of only three airstrikes in a month. Trust me. If we were bombing someone into bits our media would have a field day. But you also have to tell me who in the Hell bombs the UN headquarters in Iraq?\n\n Man Utopia is out there somewhere. Its not going to be the USA or any country that I am aware of in the next 25 years. Better get your seat for this ride into Hell. Healthcare? Might be hard to get something to eat instead.\n\n 12. #12 Melanie\n June 24, 2006\n\n\n With the stroke of a pen we could provide this country with better care and less cost than we are getting now. Skip the apocolypse scenarios. The rest of the industrialized world has already figured this out and we could too if we wanted to.\n\n Right now, we don\u2019t want to and are content to let 1/6 of our citizens go without healthcare and don\u2019t bat an eye about that. We also have stunning rates of homelessness and hunger that we don\u2019t seem to want to do much about, either. By civilized standards, this is a pretty cold society.\n\n 13. #13 M. Randolph Krugerr\n June 24, 2006\n\n Unfortunately Melanie, we cant skip the apocalypse scenarios. We are already in it and we are already heading downhill and have been for 25 years. Want to argue that point? I dont see how anyone could. Used to be even the bums on the street could get it in to see a doc. Now you pretty well only have one or two options in each city. You have indeed proven my point. Right now we dont want to, In 10 years we wont be able to. Cant do what you want and defend the country or provide for all of this stuff we have allowed ourselves to get goat roped into. Its socialism in a capitalist society and thats doomed to fail period. We ARE the defenders of the free world and our ability to subsidize them with our defense capabilities is going to go to near nil in the next 10 years unless something else is cut. So something is going to give and I bet it wont be defense by any Administration, Republican or Democrat. You are right, we have stunning rates of homelessness and hunger. Plan on them to get a lot larger soon.\n\n Its easy to dismiss what I say here. Doesnt make me wrong or you right. You can say its as simple as the flick of a bic. The second we do that you would accelerate a problem that is already nearly unmanageable. Sure, everyone wants it. But you cant pay for it. Actually we cant pay for anything new much less the old.\n\n Give me a call in 10 years and lets see who was right.\n\n 14. #14 revere\n June 24, 2006\n\n Randy: Your comments to Sam about his father are offensive. People come here for all sorts of reasons and stay here for all sorts of reasons. If you are so unhappy with the government here you should leave and go somewhere else. Just like your family did from wherever they came from. You can go somewhere they don\u2019t provide anything for their citizens. Like Zimbabwe. Are you going to take advantage of Medicare when you are 65? Because you obviously think it\u2019s immoral.\n\n You are from an immigrant family. Do you have proof they are all here legally? When was it? Are you sure they didn\u2019t bribe some official somewhere along the way? buy their papers? Why did they come here at all? Home country not \u201cgood enough\u201d for them? Did they want \u201cmore\u201d here? Screwing the rest of us by trying to get something they couldn\u2019t get back wherever the hell they came from? Where was it, by the way? Now that you and your whole damn family climbed up the ladder to get here you want to pull the ladder up after you. Lovely.\n\n A lot of people came here \u201cillegally\u201d. Probably half your family did. So what?\n\n 15. #15 revere\n June 24, 2006\n\n Randy: If you think you are the Defender of the Free World you need to go back on your medication. You are the Defender of Big Pharma, Big Oil, Big Defense Contractor, Big Telecom, etc. Thanks for keeping us all in chains. The rest of the world thinks so, too. Only you and Halliburton and Dick Cheney and his crowd think you are defending the Free World, and they don\u2019t even think so. They think you are a chump because you bought The Lie.\n\n 16. #16 Marissa\n June 24, 2006\n\n I immigrated here in 1978. Legally. Till 1999, I paid all my taxes before being forced to retire for medical reasons I won\u2019t go into, and some of which later forced me into Chapter 11. Now I have about 10 years to get Medicare assuming the don\u2019t raise the target again. If I get a serious or chronic disease I hope it\u2019s quickly fatal, because I cannot afford to pay for it. I practice holistics, meditate, and do all I can to ensure I am healthy. I won\u2019t begin to tell you though, the problems I encounter if I have to make a trip to the hospital. It\u2019s like being treated like a second-class citizen. Thanks to the banking lobby if I run up medical bills again, I cannot even file Chapter 11 again to get some relief.\n\n 17. #17 tympanachus\n June 24, 2006\n\n Crotalus kruger appears to have your number revere.

He said the purpose was to save American jobs.\n\nBut in fact, his misguided orders \u2014 barring workers in a wide range of jobs, from computer scientists on H-1B visas to seasonal workers in hotels \u2014 will further harm the economy during a deep recession.\n\nOn Thursday, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia will hear a set of cases challenging Trump\u2019s legal authority to issue these orders. The court should block his directives and save the American economy from a disastrous policy.\n\nThe president\u2019s claim that immigrant workers take American jobs is ignorant of economic realities. Research shows that capital and technology adjust quickly to immigration in ways that prevent the decline of wages. Americans and foreign-born workers generally don\u2019t fight over the same jobs \u2014 they work in different types of jobs that complement one another.\n\nImmigrants tend to be more entrepreneurial than the general population. They start new businesses and employ Americans. They stimulate international trade and investment while increasing demand for local goods and services. Immigrant workers also reduce the prices of goods and services by working in areas such as child care, food preparation and elderly care.\n\nThe administration says that a severe recession caused by the pandemic justifies sealing the U.S. economy from abroad. But the data and our history show that closing labor markets even in times of crisis, doesn\u2019t work.\n\nDuring the Great Depression, the U.S. also adopted insular, counterproductive economic policies, believing that would save jobs for Americans.\n\nThe Hoover administration carried out a program that deported more than 1 million Mexicans and U.S. citizens of Mexican descent to Mexico. Instead of protecting jobs, it severely damaged local economies and businesses near the border. Native-born Americans who lost their jobs were forced to seek employment elsewhere. The effects were significant: a 10% decline in the local labor force, driven by Mexican repatriations, shrank U.S.-born employment by 2%.\n\nThe order Trump issued in June was aimed largely at foreign-born workers with college degrees. This move was especially harmful since these kinds of skilled workers generate much of the innovation that fuels long-term economic growth, with effects that increase productivity.\n\nOne influential study has found that for every skilled worker added to a city, an additional three or four connected jobs are created. This effect may be even larger for skilled foreign-born workers because they tend to specialize in STEM fields. Two-thirds of recipients of H-1B visas \u2014 one of the foreign worker programs shut down by Trump\u2019s order \u2014 work in tech industries.\n\nIn one of our studies, we found that foreign STEM workers coming into the U.S. between 1990 and 2010 accounted for more than one-third of U.S. aggregate productivity growth. They also accounted for increased wages of Americans without college degrees by 2 percentage points more than would have occurred otherwise. In addition, data show that immigrants contributed almost 30% of high-quality patents in the U.S. since 1976.\n\nImmigration restrictions also harm the economy by causing firms to increase their offshore operations, particularly to Canada, China and India. Past H-1B restrictions have reduced the number of students interested in attending college in the United States. If we turn away many of the best and brightest young minds, we will only enhance the creative and innovative capacities of foreign countries that compete with the United States at our own expense.\n\nThe Trump administration\u2019s views on immigration are rooted in a simplistic idea that adding foreign workers will simply increase the labor supply while everything else in the economy remains fixed. In reality, our economy is dynamic, shedding and creating hundreds of thousands of jobs every month. Immigrants, especially highly skilled ones, contribute to the growth of many parts of the economy and ultimately create more job opportunities for American workers.\n\nTwenty-three state attorneys general and 52 companies, including Amazon, Apple and Facebook, filed amicus briefs asking the district court to block Trump's anti-immigrant orders.

He said the purpose was to save American jobs.\n\nBut in fact, his misguided orders \u2014 barring workers in a wide range of jobs, from computer scientists on H-1B visas to seasonal workers in hotels \u2014 will further harm the economy during a deep recession.\n\nOn Thursday, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia will hear a set of cases challenging Trump\u2019s legal authority to issue these orders. The court should block his directives and save the American economy from a disastrous policy.\n\nThe president\u2019s claim that immigrant workers take American jobs is ignorant of economic realities. Research shows that capital and technology adjust quickly to immigration in ways that prevent the decline of wages. Americans and foreign-born workers generally don\u2019t fight over the same jobs \u2014 they work in different types of jobs that complement one another.\n\nImmigrants tend to be more entrepreneurial than the general population. They start new businesses and employ Americans. They stimulate international trade and investment while increasing demand for local goods and services. Immigrant workers also reduce the prices of goods and services by working in areas such as child care, food preparation and elderly care.\n\nThe administration says that a severe recession caused by the pandemic justifies sealing the U.S. economy from abroad. But the data and our history show that closing labor markets even in times of crisis, doesn\u2019t work.\n\nDuring the Great Depression, the U.S. also adopted insular, counterproductive economic policies, believing that would save jobs for Americans.\n\nThe Hoover administration carried out a program that deported more than 1 million Mexicans and U.S. citizens of Mexican descent to Mexico. Instead of protecting jobs, it severely damaged local economies and businesses near the border. Native-born Americans who lost their jobs were forced to seek employment elsewhere. The effects were significant: a 10% decline in the local labor force, driven by Mexican repatriations, shrank U.S.-born employment by 2%.\n\nThe order Trump issued in June was aimed largely at foreign-born workers with college degrees. This move was especially harmful since these kinds of skilled workers generate much of the innovation that fuels long-term economic growth, with effects that increase productivity.\n\nOne influential study has found that for every skilled worker added to a city, an additional three or four connected jobs are created. This effect may be even larger for skilled foreign-born workers because they tend to specialize in STEM fields. Two-thirds of recipients of H-1B visas \u2014 one of the foreign worker programs shut down by Trump\u2019s order \u2014 work in tech industries.\n\nIn one of our studies, we found that foreign STEM workers coming into the U.S. between 1990 and 2010 accounted for more than one-third of U.S. aggregate productivity growth. They also accounted for increased wages of Americans without college degrees by 2 percentage points more than would have occurred otherwise. In addition, data show that immigrants contributed almost 30% of high-quality patents in the U.S. since 1976.\n\nImmigration restrictions also harm the economy by causing firms to increase their offshore operations, particularly to Canada, China and India. Past H-1B restrictions have reduced the number of students interested in attending college in the United States. If we turn away many of the best and brightest young minds, we will only enhance the creative and innovative capacities of foreign countries that compete with the United States at our own expense.\n\nThe Trump administration\u2019s views on immigration are rooted in a simplistic idea that adding foreign workers will simply increase the labor supply while everything else in the economy remains fixed. In reality, our economy is dynamic, shedding and creating hundreds of thousands of jobs every month. Immigrants, especially highly skilled ones, contribute to the growth of many parts of the economy and ultimately create more job opportunities for American workers.\n\nTwenty-three state attorneys general and 52 companies, including Amazon, Apple and Facebook, filed amicus briefs asking the district court to block Trump's anti-immigrant orders. For benefit of our economy and all workers, the court should allow immigration to resume.\n\nIf you have doubts about the value of immigrant workers, consider Zoom, the now-omnipresent videoconferencing app. It was founded by Eric Yuan, who was born in China and immigrated to Silicon Valley after applying for a work visa nine times.\n\nGiovanni Peri is a professor of economics and director of the Global Migration Center at UC Davis.

This would not be regarded as a possibility by the disbeliever, for his assumptions about the principles of veridical experience and thus about the marks of real objects of perception would rule it out. Thus if they should try to settle their disagreement in an intelligent, responsible manner, they would not resort to empirical investigations but to a critical examination of their assumptions about the constitutional principles of veridical perceptions and the categorial marks of the real.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Our categorial assumptions show themselves in the way in which we define and attempt to solve problems. Some years ago strange happenings in a house on Long Island attracted national attention. A housewife was disturbed by dishes jumping off tables, bottles unscrewing their caps and jumping off shelves, furniture moving around in the house, and the like. When she first told her husband about some of these occurrences, he thought she needed a vacation. But then some of them happened in his presence. In the end a number of people were involved in investigating the situation. The local police department put a special investigator on the case. Bell Laboratories sent a physicist. The Parapsychology Department of Duke University sent an investigator. The family's priest was involved. The priest entertained the possibility that the house was demon possessed and performed an ancient ceremony of exorcism. The parapsychologist talked seriously about the possibility of a poltergeist. The physicist concluded that the disturbances were caused by high frequency sound waves from subterranean machinery that happened to converge on the house from different directions on certain days because of the depth of the freezing of the earth. No such waves were detected nor their sources located. But this was the only uneliminated possibility open to the physicist. Neither the demon nor the poltergeist hypothesis was a possibility for him.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In this case, we find the investigators operating with different philosophical assumptions about the constitutional principles of the mind and the categorial structure of the world. The physicist, and most of us in the modern world would agree with him, does not simply reject the hypothesis of the priest and the parapsychologist as false or improbable but as superstition. He does not regard them as formulating possibilities for the world as he conceives it. It is not that the \"statements\" are false but that the \"concepts\" in terms of which they are formulated have no place in his conceptual system. They are regarded as pseudo or meaningless. That whole way of thinking is rejected as groundless on the basis of certain assumptions or beliefs about the epistemic (knowledge-yielding) powers of the human mind.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A culture with a distorted world view grounded in false assumptions about the constitutional principles of the human mind is deranged. Life lived from within it is like that of a mad man. One cannot through the exercise of his powers, structured by the internalized culture, know and cope with reality. All his efforts from within the culture suffer from the cultural defects, and, therefore, he cannot discover and correct these defects themselves without transcending the distorted world view and its underlying assumptions about the categorial structure of experience and thought.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026Philosophy cannot offer divine grace, not even philosophical grace,\u00a0as a cure for cultural derangement, but it does offer a kind of diagnosis and therapy. There are two symptoms of derangement to which we should be alert, namely (1) a general depression or spiritual malaise of a people whose lives are structured by the culture and (2) the philosophical perplexities the culture generates.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026The spirit of a culture is the pervasive sense of the normative state of life lived from within the cultural perspective. It may be happy and optimistic or unhappy and despairing. The issue is whether the cultural mind, as a way of structuring the experience, thought, aspirations, and action of the people, makes possible knowledge of reality, competence and strength in coping with reality, and, in general, high life-morale and human well being. A systematic tendency toward general depression and wretchedness of the spirit of a people indicates derangement in the cultural mind that distorts our efforts to know and to cope with reality.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Where the general spirit of a culture, or at least the persistent mood of the people, especially a good spirit and high morale in the face of particular adversities or general depression in the face of particular successes, may indicate something about the normative state of the culture in general, the philosophical perplexities a culture generates may be more specific. They are like localized pains. Examination of the trouble spots they locate may reveal specific perverting philosophical assumptions in the makeup of the cultural mind. But in order to be able to recognize a philosophical perplexity, we must be able to sort out philosophical problems from other kinds.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026Ordinary logical incompatibilities call into question the veridicality of some experience, the legitimacy of some desire, the soundness of some decision, plan, or policy, or the truth of some belief. Matters can be set right by a reassignment of legitimacy or truth values, like, for example, rejecting the veridicality of some experience or the truth of some proposition. Apparent inconsistencies of this kind initiate ordinary inquiries and scientific investigation. Such problems are solved when we achieve a network of experiences, expectations, beliefs, attitudes, plans, and the like that are not only free from inconsistency but are coherent in the sense that they are mutually supporting. To replace any item in a coherent network with its negative would generate a logical incompatibility (which may be weaker than a full-blown inconsistency) within the system. Just as logical incompatibility is our chief symptom of trouble, coherence is our chief mark of correctness and truth.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There are logical difficulties more vicious than ordinary logical incompatibilities. In the area of discourse, such difficulties not only call into question the truth of some statement, for example, but whether some apparent statement taken to be true is even a genuine statement at all. In other words, the difficulty calls into question the meaningfulness of some sentence or type of sentence rather than merely its truth-value.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 These difficulties often show themselves in brain-teasing paradoxes. One is the so-called liar's paradox. In its ancient form, it was stated this way: Epimenides, the Cretan, said, 'All Cretans are liars.' It needs more careful formulation. Something like this would be better: Epimenides, the Cretan, said, 'All Cretans, including myself, always lie.'\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2026Consider another simple example, the so-called heterological paradox. A homological word is by definition one that is true of itself .For example, 'short' is a short word, containing only five letters. A heterological word is by definition one that is not homological. 'Long,' for example, is heterological, for it is not long, having only four letters. It seems obvious that every word must be either homological or heterological. But what about the word 'heterological'? If it is homological (true of itself), then it is heterological, for we are talking about the word 'heterological' itself. But also if it is homological, then it is not heterological, for 'homological' and 'heterological' are by definition negates of each other. Furthermore if 'heterological' is heterological, then it is homological by virtue of what the statement says. Thus if 'heterological' is true of itself, it is both true of itself and not true of itself; and if it is not true of itself, it is both not true of itself and true of itself.

To celebrate the company's 95th anniversary, Gov. Ted Kulongoski declared July 30, 2004, Tillamook Cheese Day.\n\n\"We love Tillamook,\" says Sharon Kleine, who brought her visiting grandson to the event. \"They're us. They're Oregonians. And they make great products.\" Like many proud Oregonians, she takes origin into account when making purchases.\n\nWhat few people know, however, is that some of the company's cheeses come from Wisconsin, despite a label identifying them as \"Oregon Coast Cheese.\"\n\nHere's what's up: Four years ago, Tillamook bought the Bandon Cheese company and moved production of its cheeses to Tillamook. But, as WW has learned, its three organic cheeses, which had been made in Bandon prior to Tillamook's purchasing the plant, were outsourced to a facility in Wisconsin.\n\nThe cheese is made according to the original Bandon recipe specifications before traveling to Tillamook in 42-pound blocks via refrigerated trucks to be graded, aged, cut up, wrapped, labeled and shipped for distribution throughout the Northwest. But it's still made in Wisconsin, from Midwest milk.\n\nThat news left a sour taste in Laura Carey's mouth. The 48-year-old Portlander makes a point of buying fresh, local goods. When stopped in the parking lot outside Wild Oats in Southwest Portland and shown a block of Bandon organic cheese, Carey assumed it was made in Bandon. \"Oregon Coast Cheese,\" she said, pointing to the label. Nowhere, even in fine print, does it say it's made in Wisconsin, a fact Carey described as \"deceitful.\"\n\nFederal law bans companies from misleading consumers about where a product originates. Tillamook spokeswoman Christie Lincoln says \"Oregon Coast Cheese\" is a slogan used for brand recognition, not to signify the product's origin.\n\nIn April 2003, Tillamook changed Bandon's official name to \"Oregon Coast Foods,\" which is the name that appears on the back label.\n\nJan Margosian, a spokeswoman for the Oregon attorney general's office, says no official complaints have been filed, but she concedes that it is confusing. \"This is fuzzy,\" she says, and now that the name of the company is Oregon Coast Foods, it gets even fuzzier.\"\n\nThe fuzziness doesn't sit well with the folks at Food Front in Northwest Portland, who assumed the organic Bandon cheese they were selling came from Oregon. Finance manager Lee Lancaster says the store, which emphasizes detailed labeling, will probably put a sign up next to the product to clarify where it comes from.\n\nMany national distributors balk at the idea of revealing who or where their products come from, Lancaster says, but \"a lot of our customers do care and want to buy locally.\"\n\nLincoln says Tillamook cannot produce the organic cheese locally because it is unable to buy enough organic milk in Oregon--a claim that Janice and Larry Neilson find hard to believe.\n\nThe Neilsons own and operate Fraga Farm in Sweet Home, one of the 19 organic dairy farms currently certified by Oregon Tilth. \"I think it's terrible that they're acting like it's still made in Oregon,\" Janice says. \"I'm sure it's all about making more money. It's false advertising.\"<|endoftext|>We all love the sweet smell and wonderfully bitter taste of that perfect espresso mixed seductively with velvety milk, but it should be the enjoyment of the taste and association we go back for, not the requirement to function.\n\nSo how do we keep our addiction in check?\n\nCaffeine itself is a stimulant that releases small amounts of adrenaline into\u00a0your blood. It blocks receptors in your brain responsible for fatigue and\u00a0drowsiness which can be incredibly handy when you need to be alert and\u00a0focused on a task, but it is not so helpful when you are trying to sleep.\n\nDopamine is a neurotransmitter released in your brain when you consume\u00a0coffee, and it is responsible for feel good aspects in your body; often referred to as your brain\u2019s happy-drug. It is also released when you laugh and when you exercise so if you combine good coffee with good friends, your mood can be elevated by a simple $4 cup of joy.\n\nWhat are the negatives?\n\nEveryone has different levels of caffeine tolerance and while some can build this up over weeks or years of increased caffeine intake, my recommendation is to keep your tolerance low. If you consume more than required; like many things consumed in excess, you start to reap negative consequences of over indulgence. Headaches, withdrawal symptoms, sleeplessness and irritability are the most common side effects of too much caffeine, along with inhibition of iron absorption, and a decreased blood pH making your blood more acidic.\n\nThis puts stress on your immune system, lowers optimum nutrient absorption rates, and isn\u2019t ideal for your skin, heart, bones, and mood.\n\nWhat are the positives?\n\nIn safe amounts, coffee (and tea) work as a physical and mental stimulant with the added benefits of antioxidants such as polyphenols that help fight free radical damage in your body. There have been a lot of quality and reputable studies supporting the argument that coffee in recommended doses improves athletic performance and workplace productivity. It can support heart health, increase brain function and lower risks of many serious diseases when enjoyed in moderation.\n\nWhat is the best way to enjoy it?\n\nThe NZ recommended maximum is around 300mg a day (2-3 espresso shots or 4-5 cups of tea) but to maintain optimal blood pH and immunity, I would stick to 1-2 espresso shots your favourite way maximum.\u00a0\n\nAlways wait at least 30 minutes after eating greens before enjoying coffee or tea; especially if you are a vegetarian, to allow your body to absorb as much iron as possible without coffee blocking that absorption. Sip lemon water between your food and coffee to counter balance the acidic pH of your blood that occurs when you do drink coffee, and to allow a more alkaline system for maximum nutrient absorption at other times, combined with healthy immune system.\n\nAlways take one or two days a week to be coffee free and choose alkalising juice or green smoothies for your cleansing pick me up instead.\n\nAlways keep your coffee consumption earlier rather than later in your day.\nIt is very important to note that we are talking about naturally occurring caffeine in coffee, tea and dark chocolate only. I absolutely and whole-heartedly advocate that energy and artificial drinks should be avoided at all times. They offer no nutritional benefit, and often cause harm.\n\nHealthy coffee alternatives\n\nSometimes we just need the habit to continue and could easily pass on the actual coffee, so if you're after a beverage which can replace coffee then here are our favourites right now.\u00a0\n\n1. Matcha - a green tea powder that is amazing in an almond milk latte\n2. Dandelion Tea - incredibly beneficial to your digestive system\n3. Turmeric - made into a latte with a little black pepper for absorption\n4.

And they make great products.\" Like many proud Oregonians, she takes origin into account when making purchases.\n\nWhat few people know, however, is that some of the company's cheeses come from Wisconsin, despite a label identifying them as \"Oregon Coast Cheese.\"\n\nHere's what's up: Four years ago, Tillamook bought the Bandon Cheese company and moved production of its cheeses to Tillamook. But, as WW has learned, its three organic cheeses, which had been made in Bandon prior to Tillamook's purchasing the plant, were outsourced to a facility in Wisconsin.\n\nThe cheese is made according to the original Bandon recipe specifications before traveling to Tillamook in 42-pound blocks via refrigerated trucks to be graded, aged, cut up, wrapped, labeled and shipped for distribution throughout the Northwest. But it's still made in Wisconsin, from Midwest milk.\n\nThat news left a sour taste in Laura Carey's mouth. The 48-year-old Portlander makes a point of buying fresh, local goods. When stopped in the parking lot outside Wild Oats in Southwest Portland and shown a block of Bandon organic cheese, Carey assumed it was made in Bandon. \"Oregon Coast Cheese,\" she said, pointing to the label. Nowhere, even in fine print, does it say it's made in Wisconsin, a fact Carey described as \"deceitful.\"\n\nFederal law bans companies from misleading consumers about where a product originates. Tillamook spokeswoman Christie Lincoln says \"Oregon Coast Cheese\" is a slogan used for brand recognition, not to signify the product's origin.\n\nIn April 2003, Tillamook changed Bandon's official name to \"Oregon Coast Foods,\" which is the name that appears on the back label.\n\nJan Margosian, a spokeswoman for the Oregon attorney general's office, says no official complaints have been filed, but she concedes that it is confusing. \"This is fuzzy,\" she says, and now that the name of the company is Oregon Coast Foods, it gets even fuzzier.\"\n\nThe fuzziness doesn't sit well with the folks at Food Front in Northwest Portland, who assumed the organic Bandon cheese they were selling came from Oregon. Finance manager Lee Lancaster says the store, which emphasizes detailed labeling, will probably put a sign up next to the product to clarify where it comes from.\n\nMany national distributors balk at the idea of revealing who or where their products come from, Lancaster says, but \"a lot of our customers do care and want to buy locally.\"\n\nLincoln says Tillamook cannot produce the organic cheese locally because it is unable to buy enough organic milk in Oregon--a claim that Janice and Larry Neilson find hard to believe.\n\nThe Neilsons own and operate Fraga Farm in Sweet Home, one of the 19 organic dairy farms currently certified by Oregon Tilth. \"I think it's terrible that they're acting like it's still made in Oregon,\" Janice says. \"I'm sure it's all about making more money. It's false advertising.\"<|endoftext|>We all love the sweet smell and wonderfully bitter taste of that perfect espresso mixed seductively with velvety milk, but it should be the enjoyment of the taste and association we go back for, not the requirement to function.\n\nSo how do we keep our addiction in check?\n\nCaffeine itself is a stimulant that releases small amounts of adrenaline into\u00a0your blood. It blocks receptors in your brain responsible for fatigue and\u00a0drowsiness which can be incredibly handy when you need to be alert and\u00a0focused on a task, but it is not so helpful when you are trying to sleep.\n\nDopamine is a neurotransmitter released in your brain when you consume\u00a0coffee, and it is responsible for feel good aspects in your body; often referred to as your brain\u2019s happy-drug. It is also released when you laugh and when you exercise so if you combine good coffee with good friends, your mood can be elevated by a simple $4 cup of joy.\n\nWhat are the negatives?\n\nEveryone has different levels of caffeine tolerance and while some can build this up over weeks or years of increased caffeine intake, my recommendation is to keep your tolerance low. If you consume more than required; like many things consumed in excess, you start to reap negative consequences of over indulgence. Headaches, withdrawal symptoms, sleeplessness and irritability are the most common side effects of too much caffeine, along with inhibition of iron absorption, and a decreased blood pH making your blood more acidic.\n\nThis puts stress on your immune system, lowers optimum nutrient absorption rates, and isn\u2019t ideal for your skin, heart, bones, and mood.\n\nWhat are the positives?\n\nIn safe amounts, coffee (and tea) work as a physical and mental stimulant with the added benefits of antioxidants such as polyphenols that help fight free radical damage in your body. There have been a lot of quality and reputable studies supporting the argument that coffee in recommended doses improves athletic performance and workplace productivity. It can support heart health, increase brain function and lower risks of many serious diseases when enjoyed in moderation.\n\nWhat is the best way to enjoy it?\n\nThe NZ recommended maximum is around 300mg a day (2-3 espresso shots or 4-5 cups of tea) but to maintain optimal blood pH and immunity, I would stick to 1-2 espresso shots your favourite way maximum.\u00a0\n\nAlways wait at least 30 minutes after eating greens before enjoying coffee or tea; especially if you are a vegetarian, to allow your body to absorb as much iron as possible without coffee blocking that absorption. Sip lemon water between your food and coffee to counter balance the acidic pH of your blood that occurs when you do drink coffee, and to allow a more alkaline system for maximum nutrient absorption at other times, combined with healthy immune system.\n\nAlways take one or two days a week to be coffee free and choose alkalising juice or green smoothies for your cleansing pick me up instead.\n\nAlways keep your coffee consumption earlier rather than later in your day.\nIt is very important to note that we are talking about naturally occurring caffeine in coffee, tea and dark chocolate only. I absolutely and whole-heartedly advocate that energy and artificial drinks should be avoided at all times. They offer no nutritional benefit, and often cause harm.\n\nHealthy coffee alternatives\n\nSometimes we just need the habit to continue and could easily pass on the actual coffee, so if you're after a beverage which can replace coffee then here are our favourites right now.\u00a0\n\n1. Matcha - a green tea powder that is amazing in an almond milk latte\n2. Dandelion Tea - incredibly beneficial to your digestive system\n3. Turmeric - made into a latte with a little black pepper for absorption\n4. Herbal Coffee - many organic companies offer a mixture of herbs and spices like chicory and licorice root to create a coffee-like beverage<|endoftext|>[Top] [All\u00a0Lists]\n\nPromblem with PREF (prefetching) in memcpy\n\nTo: Ralf Baechle <>,\nSubject: Promblem with PREF (prefetching) in memcpy\nFrom: Carsten Langgaard <>\nDate: Fri, 04 Oct 2002 09:50:36 +0200\nOriginal-recipient: rfc822;\nI think we have a problem with the PREF instructions spread out in the\nmemcpy function.\nWe are prefetching outside the area we are copying.

Again Started the engine and same result. Third time no start and not even a clicking sound. All electrical things work.\nput the key in the switch and I get no click or nothing ... has taken 20 minutes to start and when my daughter had it for the day it would not start... not sure if the heat has anything to do with it but it didn't start this till it got extremely hot\nMy PT Cruiser cranks but wont completely start. The vehicle crunk up one time move then stopped. Few days ago untill the incident occurred bubbling sounds where coming from the engine.\ntook it to Kahlo Jeep in Noblesville and they charged me $450 to fix and they said they replaced WCM but as soon as I got it home next morning did same thing. they towed it back in and sat in shop and they said they tried it every day and no problem so I picked it up and the next morning did the very same thing. Again they towed it in and again they couldn't get it to fail so I took it home again and next morning it did very same thing. I asked for a refund and service manager said I should call the next day and she would look into. I called the number she gave but no answer but I left message. She never returned my call nor would they come and get it again when I called. Very disappointed by their service and their treatment of customers. I will not recommend them to anyone except people I dislike.\nIt just started about three weeks ago. I haven't felt safe driving it, it will crank after you turn it off after trying to crank it several times. I thought it was the battery but it wasn't. I'm going to have it looked at tomorrow.\nMy boyfriend was driving our one day and he just it just died. We looked it up and he thought it was the fuel pump so we bought the part and took it in and they replaced the fuel pump and the car still wouldn't start. They replaced the CAM center and it turns hard... thankfully we have a nice mechanic and he's not charging us an arm and a leg.\nThe car will start but the motor will not run, i have to press on the gas and sometimes it will work\nIt tries to start but acts like not getting gas to the engine\nManhandle the battery cable to get it going and that worked for 2 months. It is now( 83959 miles) at a chrysler dealership being diagnosis. Pep boys and a chrysler master technician cant seem to find the issue. I put in a request to investigate with NHTSA. I was almost in a severe accident when it decided to cut of in the middle of a multi lane intersection.\nHAd to take it in to get the security replaced\n2006 pt cruiser cranks but won't start after sitting in temps in low 20s and then trying to start when temp about 50.\nIntermittent start up after driving vehicle and parking in hot weather. Will not show any codes on diagnostic meter. Have to leave the vehicle over night so the mechanic can pinpoint problem.\nCar did not crank. Would not start. clicking noise. Negative terminal was disconnected by a mechanic. Will check the next few days if it does not sound right. This may be a temporary fix. In July of 2013 it cost me almost $300. Two seals were replaced. The front main crankshaft & the camshaft #'s4667198 & 4777086. Very disgusted with this vehicle!! 2008 PT Cruiser Sedan.\nengine always cranks over - sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn't. when it starts its usually on 1st role over. if it doesn't start right away i stop cranking it. try again n sometimes it starts right off sometimes it takes several trys. seems to be taking more attempts these days if it doesn't start right off.\nVery cold out, went to start my car to go to work, and it would crank but not start. Changed the battery and it made no difference. I have changed the starter, blew the starter from trying to start it over and over again for 5 hours in the freezing cold. Took it to the mechanic, he has checked everything from the timing belt to the battery cables. Nothing has worked and there are no codes in the computer.\nSeem to have the same issue like the others in this post who have to leave it sit for a while.

Go here for cheap car hire.\n\nMany tourists also visit Cape Town\u2019s beaches, which are popular with local residents. Due to the city\u2019s unique geography, it is possible to visit several different beaches in the same day, each with a different setting and atmosphere.\n\nThough the Cape\u2019s water ranges from cold to mild, the difference between the two sides of the city is dramatic.\nWhile the Atlantic Seaboard averages annual water temperatures barely above that of coastal California around 13 \u00b0C (55 \u00b0F), the False Bay coast is very much warmer, averaging between 16 and 17 \u00b0C (61 and 63 \u00b0F) annually.\n\nThis is similar to water temperatures in much of the Northern Mediterranean (for example Nice). In Summer, False bay water averages slightly over 20 \u00b0C (68 \u00b0F), with 22 \u00b0C (72 \u00b0F) a common high.\n\n\nBoth coasts are equally popular, although the beaches in affluent Clifton and elsewhere on the Atlantic Coast are better developed with restaurants and caf\u00e9s, with a particularly vibrant strip of restaurants and bars accessible to the beach at Camps Bay.\n\nBoulders Beach near Simon\u2019s Town is known for its colony of African Penguins.\n\n\n\nPart of the charm of the V&A, as it is locally known, is that the Port continues to operate and visitors can watch ships enter and leave. The V&A also hosts the Nelson Mandela Gateway, through which ferries depart for Robben Island.\n\nIt is possible to take a ferry from the V&A to Hout Bay, Simon\u2019s Town and the Cape Fur Seal colonies on Seal and Duiker Islands.\n\n\nAn option is to sleep overnight in Cape Town\u2019s townships. There are several B&Bs where you can spend a safe and real African night.\n\n\nThe annual Cape Town Minstrel Carnival, also known by its Afrikaans name of Kaapse Klopse, is a large minstrel festival held annually on 2 January or \u201cTweede Nuwe Jaar\u201d (Afrikaans: Second New Year).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhale watching is popular amongst tourists: Southern Right Whales and Humpback Whales are seen off the coast during the breeding season (August to November) and Bryde\u2019s Whales and Killer Whale can be seen any time of the year.\n\n\nHeaviside\u2019s dolphins are endemic to the area and can be seen from the coast north of Cape Town; Dusky dolphins live along the same coast and can occasionally be seen from the ferry to Robben Island.\n\nTravelstart Domestic\n\nSpeak Your Mind<|endoftext|>Hitex is a product with lipophilic property that resulted from the special processing of corn starch with hydrophilic properties.

The vehicle crunk up one time move then stopped. Few days ago untill the incident occurred bubbling sounds where coming from the engine.\ntook it to Kahlo Jeep in Noblesville and they charged me $450 to fix and they said they replaced WCM but as soon as I got it home next morning did same thing. they towed it back in and sat in shop and they said they tried it every day and no problem so I picked it up and the next morning did the very same thing. Again they towed it in and again they couldn't get it to fail so I took it home again and next morning it did very same thing. I asked for a refund and service manager said I should call the next day and she would look into. I called the number she gave but no answer but I left message. She never returned my call nor would they come and get it again when I called. Very disappointed by their service and their treatment of customers. I will not recommend them to anyone except people I dislike.\nIt just started about three weeks ago. I haven't felt safe driving it, it will crank after you turn it off after trying to crank it several times. I thought it was the battery but it wasn't. I'm going to have it looked at tomorrow.\nMy boyfriend was driving our one day and he just it just died. We looked it up and he thought it was the fuel pump so we bought the part and took it in and they replaced the fuel pump and the car still wouldn't start. They replaced the CAM center and it turns hard... thankfully we have a nice mechanic and he's not charging us an arm and a leg.\nThe car will start but the motor will not run, i have to press on the gas and sometimes it will work\nIt tries to start but acts like not getting gas to the engine\nManhandle the battery cable to get it going and that worked for 2 months.

Will not show any codes on diagnostic meter. Have to leave the vehicle over night so the mechanic can pinpoint problem.\nCar did not crank. Would not start. clicking noise. Negative terminal was disconnected by a mechanic. Will check the next few days if it does not sound right. This may be a temporary fix. In July of 2013 it cost me almost $300. Two seals were replaced. The front main crankshaft & the camshaft #'s4667198 & 4777086. Very disgusted with this vehicle!! 2008 PT Cruiser Sedan.\nengine always cranks over - sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn't. when it starts its usually on 1st role over. if it doesn't start right away i stop cranking it. try again n sometimes it starts right off sometimes it takes several trys. seems to be taking more attempts these days if it doesn't start right off.\nVery cold out, went to start my car to go to work, and it would crank but not start. Changed the battery and it made no difference. I have changed the starter, blew the starter from trying to start it over and over again for 5 hours in the freezing cold. Took it to the mechanic, he has checked everything from the timing belt to the battery cables. Nothing has worked and there are no codes in the computer.\nSeem to have the same issue like the others in this post who have to leave it sit for a while.

INSHA Allah (SWT)\n\n\n22 thoughts on \u201cJANNAT PAKISTAN PARTY: Asarulislam\u2019s Speech, excerpt from Manifesto\n\n 1. An excellent thought. I pray to Almighty Allah (SWT) to grant him the strength to execute it.\n I am with you all the way Asar Ul Islam.\n ASARULISLAM\u2019S COMMENT: Thanks Air Vice Marshal Khawja. You should also tell that you have known me since 1965 as a schoolmate. Was I not propagating the Quran all these years? It is only now that Allah (SWT) has enabled me to rise for the cause of Pakistan and Islam, failing to see any political party do that. my wife and I are both physicians in the US. We already live a life of Paradise here in California. I want to bring Paradise to Pakistan. ONLY THE QURAN HAS THE FORMULA.\n Thanks for being my supporter.\n\n 2. The party\u2019s name \u201cJannat\u201d is a bit unclear. Could you please elaborate if we are talking about \u201cJannat ul Firdaus\u201d or \u201cJannat ul Baqqi\u201d..???\n Indeed it is only the attaining of Jannat of this world that leads us to Jannat of afterlife. Those who attain it here shall attain it in the hereafter. Khalideena FEEHA , it begins by \u2018entering it in this life. The Americans have created it here. That is the JANNAT. Take a good look at the queue for Jannat outside US embassy which begins at 3 AM each morning. It is a mile long. Such a Jannat is promised to those NATIONS that practice equality and justice. We are committed to make Pakistan a Jannat. It shall be superior than any other nation in the world.\n \u2018The hopeless cynics,\u2019 says my Lord, \u2018live a life of HELL in this world and in the afterlife.\u2019\n\n 3. I think instead of floating a new party why don\u2019t you support MQM who is doing an excellent job and all charges levelled against them were found fake.\n Please think.\n ASRULISLAM\u2019S COMMENT: If MQM promises to deliver the Manifesto of Jannat, which is Quran\u2019s promise, we shall follow your leader. Ask him. WE ARE NOT FLOATING A NEW PARTY. THE LAW OF Allah (SWT) IS TAKING CHARGE OF PAKISTAN. INSHA Allah (SWT)\n\n 4. some Question\n\n 1: Food, clothing, shelter, education, healthcare and all comforts of life will be available to every citizen. Is there a plan for that? How would that be done?\n\n 2: The population of Pakistan is 170 million approx.\n How will the food, shelter, education, healthcare be provided to every citizen?\n\n 3: What will happen to those who are producing food, or building houses? What will they get when food and shelter is free? Who will pay them and How?\n\n 4: How will doctors earn, when healthcare is free?\n\n 5: How will teachers earn if education is free? Who will finance this education system and how will new technology be introduces when the education industry is working as Non profit organization, providing free services?\n\n 6: Is there a suitable economic plan to implement this system? If yes then please share it!\n\n 7: Where does Quran says that Free food, free shelter and comforts of life should be provided to each citizen?\n\n 8: Most importantly Dr used the words \u201cUnder my command\u201d in his lecture. Quran says command belongs to Allah (SWT) alone. What does \u201cunder my command\u201d mean then?\n\n ASARULISLAM\u2019S COMMENT: Thanks for your very thoughtful comments. Please wait till you listen or read the full MANIFESTO. I am a responsible physician, not a politician and I shall show you how it works. The full manifesto speech is 1 hour plus in duration. Our Webmaster is having a problem uploading it due to internet service interruptions. This Manifesto speech was thoroughly reviewed by the the best economists that I trust. You have won my heart by pointing out the use of the words \u2018under my command.\u2019 There is a confusion which arises due to semantics of the English language. An Islamic State functions under Authority of the Sovereign which is Allah (SWT). The executive functions and command ( leadership and directives) are delivered by the Amir or the leader. The Amir designates executive powers to individuals known as Momins and he is therefore known as the Amirul Momineen. Momins are Law Enforcement Officers and executives of the Islamic State. Each is accountable to Allah (SWT). The Lord of the Islamic State is referred to as Allah (SWT).\n May Allah (SWT) bless you for having such a keen eye on the Quran. What is promised as PARADISE in The Quran is the ISLAMIC STATE in this life from which the life of PARADISE of AFTERLIFE CONTINUES. The word for after life is Khalideena FEEHA. FEEHA means those who live in the paradise of this life shall then FROM ENTERING HERE, shall attain a life of Paradise. This Paradise is the promise of Jannat Party. It was this life of Paradise that lead to the spread of Islam, like wild fire, over 50 years from Grenada to Delhi.\n\n 5. He is lire a new stiup came to make us fool.\n all are busted lire kutta\n May Allah (SWT) bless you and guide you. May Allah (SWT) give you hope.

I pray to Almighty Allah (SWT) to grant him the strength to execute it.\n I am with you all the way Asar Ul Islam.\n ASARULISLAM\u2019S COMMENT: Thanks Air Vice Marshal Khawja. You should also tell that you have known me since 1965 as a schoolmate. Was I not propagating the Quran all these years? It is only now that Allah (SWT) has enabled me to rise for the cause of Pakistan and Islam, failing to see any political party do that. my wife and I are both physicians in the US. We already live a life of Paradise here in California. I want to bring Paradise to Pakistan. ONLY THE QURAN HAS THE FORMULA.\n Thanks for being my supporter.\n\n 2. The party\u2019s name \u201cJannat\u201d is a bit unclear. Could you please elaborate if we are talking about \u201cJannat ul Firdaus\u201d or \u201cJannat ul Baqqi\u201d..???\n Indeed it is only the attaining of Jannat of this world that leads us to Jannat of afterlife. Those who attain it here shall attain it in the hereafter. Khalideena FEEHA , it begins by \u2018entering it in this life. The Americans have created it here. That is the JANNAT. Take a good look at the queue for Jannat outside US embassy which begins at 3 AM each morning. It is a mile long. Such a Jannat is promised to those NATIONS that practice equality and justice. We are committed to make Pakistan a Jannat. It shall be superior than any other nation in the world.\n \u2018The hopeless cynics,\u2019 says my Lord, \u2018live a life of HELL in this world and in the afterlife.\u2019\n\n 3. I think instead of floating a new party why don\u2019t you support MQM who is doing an excellent job and all charges levelled against them were found fake.\n Please think.\n ASRULISLAM\u2019S COMMENT: If MQM promises to deliver the Manifesto of Jannat, which is Quran\u2019s promise, we shall follow your leader. Ask him. WE ARE NOT FLOATING A NEW PARTY. THE LAW OF Allah (SWT) IS TAKING CHARGE OF PAKISTAN. INSHA Allah (SWT)\n\n 4. some Question\n\n 1: Food, clothing, shelter, education, healthcare and all comforts of life will be available to every citizen. Is there a plan for that? How would that be done?\n\n 2: The population of Pakistan is 170 million approx.\n How will the food, shelter, education, healthcare be provided to every citizen?\n\n 3: What will happen to those who are producing food, or building houses? What will they get when food and shelter is free? Who will pay them and How?\n\n 4: How will doctors earn, when healthcare is free?\n\n 5: How will teachers earn if education is free? Who will finance this education system and how will new technology be introduces when the education industry is working as Non profit organization, providing free services?\n\n 6: Is there a suitable economic plan to implement this system? If yes then please share it!\n\n 7: Where does Quran says that Free food, free shelter and comforts of life should be provided to each citizen?\n\n 8: Most importantly Dr used the words \u201cUnder my command\u201d in his lecture. Quran says command belongs to Allah (SWT) alone. What does \u201cunder my command\u201d mean then?\n\n ASARULISLAM\u2019S COMMENT: Thanks for your very thoughtful comments. Please wait till you listen or read the full MANIFESTO. I am a responsible physician, not a politician and I shall show you how it works. The full manifesto speech is 1 hour plus in duration. Our Webmaster is having a problem uploading it due to internet service interruptions. This Manifesto speech was thoroughly reviewed by the the best economists that I trust. You have won my heart by pointing out the use of the words \u2018under my command.\u2019 There is a confusion which arises due to semantics of the English language. An Islamic State functions under Authority of the Sovereign which is Allah (SWT). The executive functions and command ( leadership and directives) are delivered by the Amir or the leader. The Amir designates executive powers to individuals known as Momins and he is therefore known as the Amirul Momineen. Momins are Law Enforcement Officers and executives of the Islamic State. Each is accountable to Allah (SWT). The Lord of the Islamic State is referred to as Allah (SWT).\n May Allah (SWT) bless you for having such a keen eye on the Quran. What is promised as PARADISE in The Quran is the ISLAMIC STATE in this life from which the life of PARADISE of AFTERLIFE CONTINUES. The word for after life is Khalideena FEEHA. FEEHA means those who live in the paradise of this life shall then FROM ENTERING HERE, shall attain a life of Paradise. This Paradise is the promise of Jannat Party. It was this life of Paradise that lead to the spread of Islam, like wild fire, over 50 years from Grenada to Delhi.\n\n 5. He is lire a new stiup came to make us fool.\n all are busted lire kutta\n May Allah (SWT) bless you and guide you. May Allah (SWT) give you hope. Why would I lie to you.\n Those who could not understand The Message said worse things than this to Our Master, Our Lord Prophet Muhammad (SAWS)\n Your curse words are an honor for me. May Allah (SWT) guide you.\n\n 6. \u0628\u0633\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u06c1 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u062d\u0645\u0670\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u062d\u06cc\u0645\n \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0644\u0627\u0645 \u0639\u0644\u06cc\u06a9\u0645 \u0648 \u0631\u062d\u0645\u062a\u06c1 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u06c1 \u0648 \u0628\u0631\u06a9\u0627\u062a\u06c1\u06d4\u06d4\u06d4 \u0627\u0644\u062d\u0645\u062f \u0627\u0644\u0644\u06c1 \u06cc\u06c1 \u062c\u0627\u0646 \u06a9\u0631 \u0628\u06c1\u062a \u062e\u0648\u0634\u06cc \u06be\u0648\u0626\u06cc \u06a9\u06c1 \u06a9\u0648\u0626\u06cc \u062a\u0648 \u062d\u0642 \u0628\u0627\u062a \u06a9\u0631\u0646\u06d2 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0627 \u0645\u06cc\u062f\u0627\u0646 \u0645\u06cc\u06ba \u0622\u0646\u06d2 \u06a9\u06d2 \u0644\u06cc\u06d2 \u062a\u06cc\u0627\u0631 \u06be\u0648\u0627\u06d4 \u06cc\u06c1 \u06c1\u0645\u0627\u0631\u06cc \u0628\u062f \u0642\u0633\u0645\u062a\u06cc \u06be\u06d2 \u06a9\u06c1 \u0627\u0633 \u0627\u0631\u0636\u0650 \u067e\u0627\u06a9 \u067e\u0631 \u0645\u0646\u0627\u0641\u0642\u06cc\u0646 \u0639\u0631\u0635\u06c1 \u062f\u0631\u0627\u0632 \u0633\u06d2 \u0642\u0627\u0628\u0636 \u0686\u0644\u06d2 \u0622 \u0631\u06be\u06d2 \u06c1\u06cc\u06ba\u06d4 \u0627\u0648\u0631 \u062c\u0648 \u0644\u0648\u06af \u0627\u0633 \u0645\u0644\u06a9 \u06a9\u06cc \u0628\u06be\u0627\u06af \u062f\u0648\u0691 \u0633\u0645\u0646\u06be\u0627\u0644\u0646\u06d2 \u06a9\u06cc \u0627\u06c1\u0644\u06cc\u062a \u0631\u06a9\u06be\u062a\u06d2 \u06c1\u06cc\u06ba \u0627\u064f\u0646 \u06a9\u0648 \u0646\u06c1 \u062a\u0648 \u06a9\u0628\u06be\u06cc \u067e\u0644\u06cc\u0679 \u0641\u0627\u0631\u0645 \u062a\u06a9 \u067e\u06c1\u0646\u0686\u0646\u06d2 \u062f\u06cc\u0627 \u062c\u0627\u062a\u0627 \u06be\u06d2 \u0627\u0648\u0631 \u0646\u06c1 \u06c1\u06cc \u067e\u0646\u067e\u0646\u06d2 \u06a9\u0627 \u0645\u0648\u0642\u0639\u06d4 \u0627\u0633 \u0627\u0631\u0636\u0650 \u067e\u0627\u06a9 \u06a9\u0648 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0644\u0627\u0645 \u06a9\u06d2 \u0646\u0627\u0645 \u067e\u0631 \u062d\u0627\u0635\u0644 \u062a\u0648 \u06a9\u0631 \u0644\u06cc\u0627 \u06af\u06cc\u0627 \u0644\u06cc\u06a9\u0646 \u0628\u062f \u0642\u0633\u0645\u062a\u06cc \u0633\u06d2 \u0627\u0633 \u06a9\u0648 \u06a9\u0628\u06be\u06cc \u0627\u0633\u0644\u0627\u0645\u06cc \u0631\u06cc\u0627\u0633\u062a \u0628\u0646\u0627\u0646\u06d2 \u067e\u0631 \u062a\u0648\u062c\u06c1 \u0646\u06c1 \u062f\u06cc \u06af\u0626\u06cc\u06d4 \u06cc\u06c1\u06cc \u0648\u062c\u06c1 \u06be\u06d2 \u06a9\u06c1 \u0645\u0646\u0627\u0641\u0642\u06cc\u0646 \u0648 \u0645\u0634\u0631\u06a9\u06cc\u0646 \u06a9", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 302790, "pt_loc": 6700909, "pt_shuffle_idx": 130949551, "doc_index_f": 205241629, "doc_index_l": 205241631, "offset_f": 797, "offset_l": 1827, "pt_injection_pos": 2, "pt_window_offset": 11, "pt_injection_len": 15, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [148, 73, 1828]} -{"pt_doc": "Question: Who was the director of Love You?\nAnswer: John Derek<|endoftext|> oil and a gut restore vitamin\n 6.

According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health or NIH, the body puts down scar tissue after an injury or surgery as a way to heal its wounds. The degree of scarring depends on the following factors: wound size, depth and location, a person's age and skin characteristics, including skin color or pigmentation.\n\nChanges Skin's Appearance\n\nPost-surgical scar tissue formation can alter the skin's appearance. According to the NIH, scar tissue typically is thicker, pinker, redder or shinier than the rest of a person's skin. The NIH says the appearance of a person's scar largely depends on the size and depth of the wound, where the wound is located, how long the wound takes to heal, the age of the person undergoing surgery and a person's inherited tendency to scar. The NIH says that although scar tissue on the skin's surface often fades with time, it rarely fully resolves, and that if the appearance of the scar tissue is problematic, a number of procedures may help reduce the size and shape of the scar tissue. These include dermabrasion, laser treatments, injections and chemical peels and creams. One of the most effective conservative care methods for the treatment of surface scar tissue is instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, which uses tools to manually reduce the post-surgical scar tissue.\n\nImpedes Joint Range of Motion\n\nPost-surgical scar tissue can unfavorably alter joint range of motion, depending on the scar tissue's location. According to the University of Washington's Department of Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, post-surgical scar tissue tends to recur and can reduce joint range of motion unless movement therapy and stretching is begun immediately after surgery. To promote optimal post-surgical joint range of motion, use a continuous passive motion or CPM machine to gently guide the involved segment and joint through its normal range of motion. A CPM typically is used during the first few days following surgery. While still in the hospital, a patient who has just had surgery may also get instruction on proper active range of motion exercises to prevent stiffness and myofascial adhesions from forming in the involved area. Active range of motion stretches promote a more coordinated and less haphazard deposition of scar tissue following surgery.\n\nCreates Discomfort\n\nPost-surgical scar tissue and adhesions can cause discomfort or pain, despite the fact that most scar tissue itself is not sensitive to pain. According to the Myofascial Release Clinic website, scar tissue put down after surgery may pull on other areas, compress nerves, blood vessels and organs and limit physiological functioning. This can cause pain or dysfunction. In fact, scar tissue can restrict many layers of muscle and connective tissue, which can cause varying degrees of pain or discomfort. Scar tissue is weaker, less elastic and more prone to re-injury than normal, healthy tissue, and can lead to chronic pain if it affects the functioning of other structures--especially nerves and blood vessels. Painful post-surgical scar tissue may also indicate the presence of an infection in the involved area, which should be evaluated by a physician as soon as possible.\n\n<|endoftext|>Gain up to 92%\nevery 60 seconds\n\nHow it works?\n\n\nthe price movement direction\n\n\nup to 92% profit in case of right prediction\nFree demo account\nwith $1000\nup to 92%\nMinimum deposit\nonly $10\nMinimum option price\n\nAutomated forex forex software forex guide forex guide\n\nInstant payments\n\nChem.

An intense espionage operation conducted for years has effectively exposed all company business to competitors and hostile governments like China.\n\nFormer Nortel employee Brian Shields conducted internal investigation regarding possible security breaches and attacks designed to steal sensitive information belonging to the company. \u00a0\n\nShields declared that the hackers stole passwords from the company's top executives, the CEO included, and thus have long had access to the entire Nortel network and related data, such as Information related to the private industry in around the world.\n\nEmerging technologies and business strategies have always been targeted by groups of hackers who are often hired by governments, as in the case of China.\n\nThe main problem is that the breach was conducted during an entire decade, with obvious consequences. The damage is incalculable if we consider the enormous amount of information stolen through the use of spyware and viruses.\u00a0Emails containing information on technological solutions, business reports, and other sensitive documents were stolen for years, seriously compromising the intellectual property of the company.\n\nShields, who has worked at Nortel for 19 years, declared that in the last decade on several occasions suspicious activities have been detected related to external attacks.\nFor example, the company detected an intrusion in 2004 when several PCs were found to be sending sensitive data to an IP address based in China.\u00a0\n\nThere is no\u00a0direct evidence of involvement by the\u00a0Chinese government, however China is not new\u00a0to these kinds of operations, and\u00a0modern history\u00a0has\u00a0demonstrated it, - cyberspace has no\u00a0borders.\n\nResponsibility for the intrusions by the\u00a0company is readily evident, and having underestimated the\u00a0threat\u00a0ended up compromising the company's very existence. Remember, Nortel had filed for bankruptcy in 2009.\n\nThe event is truly alarming - a nightmare - but at the same time serves asa warning to every other company.\n\nConsider that the hacking of private corporate networks is often a shortcut to access information of governments that contract them, so the risk faced by private industry is huge and at stake is the balance of the global economy -\u00a0 and how many \"Nortels\" are out there?\n\nWe are all\u00a0potentially\u00a0at risk\u00a0and underestimating the\u00a0threat\u00a0is a\u00a0serious mistake.

This is commonly seen in personal injury cases where the corporation is responsible for damages done to the plaintiff, or the person who is accusing them of wrongdoing.\n\nCorporate giants usually have an army of lawyers on retainer, ready to throw big words and intimidation tactics at the plaintiff. They can afford to draw out a lawsuit for years until the accuser throws in the towel. But it doesn\u2019t have to be that way.\n\nWhen a business is solidly in the wrong, a knowledgeable attorney, like those at Hershey Law, isn\u2019t scared of intimation tactics. They can swat away all threats that are not legally sound, and they know all of the possible schemes that could be used to help limit the liability of the company.\n\nWith the right lawyer and enough evidence, any business can be held accountable for their misdeeds. That doesn\u2019t mean they won\u2019t throw out all of the stops to try to get out of it, though.\n\nIt\u2019s Not Legal to Buy Your Way Out of Accountability, But\u2026\n\nCorporate attorneys are paid the big bucks to get their clients out of liability situations. When they are sued for personal injuries or wrongful deaths, their attorneys will aggressively fight to defend them. This can be done in multiple, mostly legal but not necessarily ethical, ways.\n\nIf a company knows they have a lot to lose, they often plan ahead for this contingency. They will ensure that their own personal liability is limited, so their families are not affected, by setting up their business as an LLC or a corporation. They might also create shell companies to purchase assets through. This keeps their main company from being able to be sued for big assets.\n\nAs mentioned, if a company can\u2019t avoid the lawsuit, there are other tactics their lawyers will use to protect their clients. One common strategy is to attempt to intimidate or coerce the plaintiff into dropping the lawsuit. Depending on how this is done, it can actually help the plaintiff\u2019s case. Certain strongarm tactics are illegal in most states.\n\nIf they can\u2019t win through threats, intimidation, and scare tactics, they may resort to a form of bribery. This is completely legal if it\u2019s done through mediation.", "base_doc": " onto concrete played in slow motion so you can see the moment the compound fracture occurs and the orthopedic surgeon makes six figures.

An intense espionage operation conducted for years has effectively exposed all company business to competitors and hostile governments like China.\n\nFormer Nortel employee Brian Shields conducted internal investigation regarding possible security breaches and attacks designed to steal sensitive information belonging to the company. \u00a0\n\nShields declared that the hackers stole passwords from the company's top executives, the CEO included, and thus have long had access to the entire Nortel network and related data, such as Information related to the private industry in around the world.\n\nEmerging technologies and business strategies have always been targeted by groups of hackers who are often hired by governments, as in the case of China.\n\nThe main problem is that the breach was conducted during an entire decade, with obvious consequences. The damage is incalculable if we consider the enormous amount of information stolen through the use of spyware and viruses.\u00a0Emails containing information on technological solutions, business reports, and other sensitive documents were stolen for years, seriously compromising the intellectual property of the company.\n\nShields, who has worked at Nortel for 19 years, declared that in the last decade on several occasions suspicious activities have been detected related to external attacks.\nFor example, the company detected an intrusion in 2004 when several PCs were found to be sending sensitive data to an IP address based in China.\u00a0\n\nThere is no\u00a0direct evidence of involvement by the\u00a0Chinese government, however China is not new\u00a0to these kinds of operations, and\u00a0modern history\u00a0has\u00a0demonstrated it, - cyberspace has no\u00a0borders.\n\nResponsibility for the intrusions by the\u00a0company is readily evident, and having underestimated the\u00a0threat\u00a0ended up compromising the company's very existence. Remember, Nortel had filed for bankruptcy in 2009.\n\nThe event is truly alarming - a nightmare - but at the same time serves asa warning to every other company.\n\nConsider that the hacking of private corporate networks is often a shortcut to access information of governments that contract them, so the risk faced by private industry is huge and at stake is the balance of the global economy -\u00a0 and how many \"Nortels\" are out there?\n\nWe are all\u00a0potentially\u00a0at risk\u00a0and underestimating the\u00a0threat\u00a0is a\u00a0serious mistake. The security landscape of cyberspace requires careful management by every\u00a0company.\n\nWake up\u00a0before it's too\u00a0late!\n\nCross-posted from Security Affairs\n\nPossibly Related Articles:\nEnterprise Security\nInformation Security\nEnterprise Security Economy China Intellectual Property Espionage hackers breach Proprietary Information Pierluigi Paganini Nortel Brian Shields\nPost Rating I Like this!\nRosaria Debiase Excellent example of the actual impact of a cyber threat.

This is commonly seen in personal injury cases where the corporation is responsible for damages done to the plaintiff, or the person who is accusing them of wrongdoing.\n\nCorporate giants usually have an army of lawyers on retainer, ready to throw big words and intimidation tactics at the plaintiff. They can afford to draw out a lawsuit for years until the accuser throws in the towel. But it doesn\u2019t have to be that way.\n\nWhen a business is solidly in the wrong, a knowledgeable attorney, like those at Hershey Law, isn\u2019t scared of intimation tactics. They can swat away all threats that are not legally sound, and they know all of the possible schemes that could be used to help limit the liability of the company.\n\nWith the right lawyer and enough evidence, any business can be held accountable for their misdeeds. That doesn\u2019t mean they won\u2019t throw out all of the stops to try to get out of it, though.\n\nIt\u2019s Not Legal to Buy Your Way Out of Accountability, But\u2026\n\nCorporate attorneys are paid the big bucks to get their clients out of liability situations. When they are sued for personal injuries or wrongful deaths, their attorneys will aggressively fight to defend them. This can be done in multiple, mostly legal but not necessarily ethical, ways.\n\nIf a company knows they have a lot to lose, they often plan ahead for this contingency. They will ensure that their own personal liability is limited, so their families are not affected, by setting up their business as an LLC or a corporation. They might also create shell companies to purchase assets through. This keeps their main company from being able to be sued for big assets.\n\nAs mentioned, if a company can\u2019t avoid the lawsuit, there are other tactics their lawyers will use to protect their clients. One common strategy is to attempt to intimidate or coerce the plaintiff into dropping the lawsuit. Depending on how this is done, it can actually help the plaintiff\u2019s case. Certain strongarm tactics are illegal in most states.\n\nIf they can\u2019t win through threats, intimidation, and scare tactics, they may resort to a form of bribery. This is completely legal if it\u2019s done through mediation.

But let us not miss great opportunities just because we have been sold some scaremongering stories and sci-fi scenarios.\nThe shift from careful to mindful underlies the belief that AI is a powerful force for good. A lot in this technology is being developed by humans for humans to improve our lives. I am sceptical about \u2018better-safe-than-sorry\u2019 being the only approach. We need to find ways of testing new ideas and solutions safely but also innovatively because there is so much more that we can and should do to improve the lives of billions (yes with a \u2018b\u2019 not an \u2018m\u2019) of people.\n\nGovernance of AI lagging\n\nWhen people talk about the \u2018threats\u2019 that AI could bring, they seem to underestimate what economists call the opportunity costs. This is essentially the cost of things we didn\u2019t do because we chose something else. The cost of not applying AI could start to accumulate.\n\nNot enough attention is being paid to governance, and, if you have some inside understanding, it is not difficult to see where things are going. It seems to me that one of the problems we have is that we don\u2019t have enough clarity on ethical guidelines. There is insufficient push about this from healthcare stakeholders. I try to convince people that the main problem is not what kind of innovation we are going to have but what solutions we want to put in place when using any kind of innovation. The governance of the digital is the real difficulty, not just digital innovation per se. What incentives are we establishing for social understanding, acceptability, corporate responsibility and good governance to develop socially preferable solutions, and hinder the worst shortcomings? This all comes in waves though. In the same way academia anticipated digital ethics issues and today we finally have some real engagement, we are now anticipating issues in academia that will affect the governance of digital in the near future. I expect this to hit the social spectrum engagement a bit later. We could compare it to developing a cure in the lab and getting the pills from your GP. It takes years.\n\nAI impact on employment\n\nThere is a risk of talking too much about risks. In the job context, it is very interesting because the statistics can be confusing. In almost any story about jobs being automated, created, transformed or made obsolete, there appears to be no consistency in a comparative analysis. The bottom line is that nobody quite knows what the impact of AI on the healthcare job market will be. But when some people talk about their being no jobs in the future, my response is that this is just not plausible. There will always be a surplus of demand for care, at all stages and in all contexts. For example, we know, in the UK at least, that healthcare and elderly care are in desperate need of staff.\nImagine we go back to the past and someone has just invented vending machines. They should have killed off every coffee shop in the world. But what has happened? Coffee shops are blooming. Vending machines have not killed the barista job. We have more diversity, more choices. Do not get me wrong. This is not as reassuring as it may sound because, on the other hand, bank ATMs did kill some banking jobs. I\u2019m only stressing the difficulty in making predictions. In this case, common sense is not the best guide, because there are complex feedback loops linking many transformations. On this note, I want to point out that the country where there is the highest number of robots per person is Japan but that is also where there is very low unemployment. In fact, Japan has a crisis of unfilled jobs to the point that they\u2019re considering opening the market up to foreigners.\nThere is a lot of uncertainty. It means we have to be ready for what could be a curve ball. The point is, it\u2019s not all good or bad. AI will eliminate some jobs but create others. It is the painful transition that needs a social safety net. Not all those who will get the new jobs are those who will lose the old ones. We must ensure that our society takes care of the generation that is going to pay the highest price in this radical transformation, even if this means borrowing a bit from the future to smooth the significant impact of AI on the job market.\n\nBack to the future\n\nImagine looking back at this century from 100 years in the future and they are talking about us now. They tell a story about the 21st century and AI from the 22nd century perspective. Will they be saying \u2018They had so many opportunities and what a mess they made. What were they thinking?\u2019 or \u2018They had so many opportunities and they managed them quite well, thank you!?\u2019\nWe can compare this to the environmental crisis. We are not pleased with our parents and grandparents for what they have allowed to happen to our planet; and the next generation will probably not be grateful to us for the poor job we are currently doing.\nWhen it comes to AI, I would like to avoid this. Whatever it takes in my little corner, I want to make sure that the story written by the 22nd century about the 21st will be a good one.\nThat\u2019s why I am so engaged and enthused about working hard to make sure that whatever good could be done will actually be done rather than leaving a legacy of a \u2018should have, would have, could have\u2019 scenarios.\nCaution is essential because the impact of AI in healthcare could be deep but I would use the world \u201cmindful\u201d rather than \u201ccareful\u201d\n\nKey Points\n\n \u2022 AI is being misused and underused\n \u2022 AI has decades of history but ethics discussions are only now hitting society\n \u2022 Governance of AI needs more attention\n \u2022 We don\u2019t know how AI will impact the employment market; dystopic projections are unfounded\n \u2022 Healthcare is facing severe understaffing and AI could fill a shortfall\n \u2022 A mindful rather than a paralysing careful approach to AI is more fitting to ensure innovation and pursuit of opportunities\nRecommended articles:\nAI can improve medical imaging access\n\nAI, Limits, AI Regulation, Digital Regulation Opportunities or threats?

Upon conquering Renais, the Grado Empire has set its sights on Frelia. However, Innes and his troops meet the invaders at the waters\u2019 edge.

At last, the alteration of the microbiota composition observed in infants treated with antibiotics was close to the one of children from mothers treated with antibiotics before delivery, with consequences late in life[163]. Moreover, antibiotics treatment has the main disadvantages of enriching our microbiota with antibiotics resistant genes which might become later on a problem towards the gut homeostasis. Furthermore, disrupting microbiota settlement will also disrupt its overall metabolizing activity which concerns its ability to transform food contaminants and limit their impact on our health (for review see Flandroy et al[164]). On top of this, although the use of antibiotics might be very important to prevent sepsis in preterm or newborn infants, they might, under some circumstances, interfere with neurotransmitters receptors and particularly those of gamma-amino butyric acid[165] or of serotonin[166], compromising correct central and peripheral neuronal circuitry which may under prolonged exposure, have serious consequences[167]. These toxicological effects have been evidenced for amoxicillin in juvenile rats[168].\n\nRotavirus infection is a very common cause of gastroenteritis since it targets mainly the gastrointestinal tract. In animals, several observations are concordant: Rotavirus infection decreases intestinal enzymes activities in both piglets[169] and young mice[170,171]. In rabbits, it impairs epithelial homeostasis by altering the intestinal brush border membrane[172]. Rotavirus infection in children results in the occurrence of a flat mucosa with total virus atrophy[173]. Exposition during early life to environmental microorganisms strongly affects protein expression at the brush border since it clearly stimulates TLR5 and TLR9 gene expressions of exposed new born mice[174]. This mismatch at birth will fragilize the maturation of the intestinal epithelium.\n\nPostnatal exposure to pesticides\n\nThere is growing evidence from animal studies suggesting that early life exposure to toxic stress may magnify the effects of environmental chemical exposure on neurodevelopment[175]. Air pollution and pesticides may affect growth during infancy or childhood, and they are associated with neurodevelopmental and behavioral problems[176].\n\nOrganophosphates pesticides are neurotoxic at high doses and target the nervous system of children, and are associated with changes in neurotransmitters including serotonin, norepinephrine, acetylcholine, and dopamine. The associations of organophosphate pesticide and child IQ at 7 years old was noted by Stein et al[177] in 2016 and was already observed[178] as more important in children that also experience certain social adversities. Those who have the highest exposure to environmental toxicants are often the same populations and individuals who experience the greatest adversity. Children with high prenatal exposure to organophosphates who also experience specific early and persistent toxic stress may be at a greater risk for adverse cognitive development[177]. However, postnatal organophosphates studies are not numerous and most of the results are inconsistent[179].\n\nProlonged breastfeeding was associated with increased of OCPs in Norwegian children blood samples[180]. In studies that measured the levels of DDE and PCBs, organochlorine compounds postnatally, authors reported a slower growth and a higher risk of endocrine function alteration in children[181].\n\nGlyphosate is one of the agro-chemical which should also deserve a special attention in infants and children. In fact, this herbicide is inhibiting the shikimate pathway, which, when present in bacteria, controls the synthesis of aromatic compounds such as tyrosine or tryptophan, key intermediaries in systemic effects of our microbiota (see the first section of this review)[164]. From now, there seems to be no direct effect of neonatal exposure to glyphosate on gut brain axis maturation. However, since it may alter uterus development, one can\u2019t exclude any alteration of the gut homeostasis[182], since it has been evidenced that this herbicide could temporarily modify commensal bacterial community composition[183].\n\nPostnatal exposure to mycotoxins\n\nInfants and young children are more vulnerable to mycotoxins than adults, due to their constantly growing, poorly developed nervous, immune, reproductive, and digestive systems, high rate of metabolism, and restricted diet. Childhood exposure to mycotoxins, induced by the consumption of contaminated foods : Breast milk[184], infant formula or complementary foods with cereals[185], vegetables or nuts[186,187]. This has been associated with poor child growth and development[188], increased susceptibility to infections and many others effects like immune disorders[189], tumors development[190], precocious puberty[191,192], etc. Assessment of health risks related to mycotoxins ingestion during childhood has been evaluated in the last years. The presence of mycotoxins in the intestinal fluid of a child could cause more significant damage to the intestinal enterocytes because of the reduced dimension of the intestinal epithelium compared to that of an adult. An outbreak in the children population of Kashmir Valley was associated with the consumption of naturally contaminated bread with a varying quantities of trichothecene mycotoxins[193]. Symptoms of gastrointestinal illness appeared 15 min to 1 h after consuming it. DON belonging to these trichothecenes, can act on the viability and the proliferation of immune cells. This event then inhibits proteins biosynthesis that prevent cytokine production[194]. The direct consequence of this event is a higher susceptibility to infection disease which is of peculiar importance on such vulnerable people that are babies and infants. Moreover, it was evidenced that DON was affecting the intestinal barrier function in chicken[195].\n\nAF may be generated by Aspergillus Fungi. One of its metabolites, a 4-hydroxylated form, can be secreted in mammal milk after ingestion of the mycotoxin. As for DON, AF reduce anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-4 expression together with the increase of susceptibility to infection[196].\n\nAnother outbreak of diarrhea in children in Sweden was related to consumption of fruit contaminated with PAT[197]. Indeed, it was reported that consumption of high concentration of mycotoxins (DON and PAT) could cause gastroenteritis with vomiting in humans[198,199]. PAT is cytotoxic to enterocytes, increase permeability across intestinal Caco-2 monolayers and alter ion transport in intact intestinal mucosae[199,200]. Fusarium mycotoxins are quite frequently found in baby food in particular in the developing countries. Despite of efforts made to correct the heating process to limit or eliminate the mycotoxins from maize or soy-bean, it has been evidenced that this food transformation not only does not eliminate mycotoxins but rather help to generate many others thus presenting a higher risk for the consumer and particularly babies[184].\n\nOther groups of metabolites produced by some Aspergillus or Penicillium are Ochratoxins. However, from the actual knowledge, it seems not to have any consequence neither on the gut nor on the grain but rather on kidneys.\n\nAt last, fumonisins, Fusarium mycotoxins, may also be found in baby and infant food. From the actual literature, it has not been so far determined that they are responsible for gut disease apart from a foodborne disease outbreak in India[193]. However, they seem to alter the settlement of the nervous system since they are associated to neural tube defects in the Mexico-Texan border[201].\n\nPostnatal exposure to other organic pollutants\n\nSeveral POPs have been associated with increased children's behavior problems[202]. Some studies have pointed out that exposition for 24 h to 5 pollutants [TCDD, deltamethrin, hexabromocyclododecane, Benzo(a)Pyrene and 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo(4,5-b)pyridine] and one mixture of pollutants polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbures (PAHs) significantly shifted the microbial volatile pattern, suggesting that the activity of the microbiota might have been affected[203]. Moreover, their direct or indirect consequences on neuronal communication and network development has already been described[204]. Taking all these informations into account, one can\u2019t exclude the possibility of misshaping the gut microbiota settlement in newborns and the sensible consequences on his/her health. POPs, PCBs, PAHs have been described as significantly altering the microbiota metabolism at the origin of the induction of a proinflammatory status of the gut[203]. 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofurane, a POP, may shift the firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio which is at the origin of alteration of bile acid metabolism[205]. Furthermore, PAHs can be transformed by the gut microbiota to estrogenic metabolites[206].\n\nIn the same line, phthalates, a category of food plasticizers, may strongly unbalance the settlement of gut brain microbiota axis. Indeed, exposure to di-ethylhexyl phthalate through lactation showed negative association with mental index[202]. Phthalate metabolite concentrations were higher in the 2- and 5-years old children, compared to 11 years old ones. Postnatal high exposure to phthalic acid ester is related to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms in children[207], and particularly diethylphthalate are inducing gut dysbiosis and consistent weight loss. One of the mechanisms proposed was through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor activation[208]. Moreover, child exposition to Phthalates has been correlated with the decrease of DNA methylation of specific genes among which TNF\u03b1. As this demethylation is linked to a decrease of TNF\u03b1 protein level, this could explain the gene expression deregulation observed during the inflammatory response as it was suggested for asthma[209]. These recent observations play in favor for a correlation that can be pointed out between contaminants and molecular pathways involved in a given disease.\n\nDuration of breastfeeding was the main determinant and was significantly associated with increased POP concentrations in the children. Prolonged breastfeeding was associated with increased concentrations of POPs such as", "base_doc": " of non-communicable chronic diseases (NCCDs) characteristic of dysbiosis. At last, the alteration of the microbiota composition observed in infants treated with antibiotics was close to the one of children from mothers treated with antibiotics before delivery, with consequences late in life[163]. Moreover, antibiotics treatment has the main disadvantages of enriching our microbiota with antibiotics resistant genes which might become later on a problem towards the gut homeostasis. Furthermore, disrupting microbiota settlement will also disrupt its overall metabolizing activity which concerns its ability to transform food contaminants and limit their impact on our health (for review see Flandroy et al[164]). On top of this, although the use of antibiotics might be very important to prevent sepsis in preterm or newborn infants, they might, under some circumstances, interfere with neurotransmitters receptors and particularly those of gamma-amino butyric acid[165] or of serotonin[166], compromising correct central and peripheral neuronal circuitry which may under prolonged exposure, have serious consequences[167]. These toxicological effects have been evidenced for amoxicillin in juvenile rats[168].\n\nRotavirus infection is a very common cause of gastroenteritis since it targets mainly the gastrointestinal tract. In animals, several observations are concordant: Rotavirus infection decreases intestinal enzymes activities in both piglets[169] and young mice[170,171]. In rabbits, it impairs epithelial homeostasis by altering the intestinal brush border membrane[172]. Rotavirus infection in children results in the occurrence of a flat mucosa with total virus atrophy[173]. Exposition during early life to environmental microorganisms strongly affects protein expression at the brush border since it clearly stimulates TLR5 and TLR9 gene expressions of exposed new born mice[174]. This mismatch at birth will fragilize the maturation of the intestinal epithelium.\n\nPostnatal exposure to pesticides\n\nThere is growing evidence from animal studies suggesting that early life exposure to toxic stress may magnify the effects of environmental chemical exposure on neurodevelopment[175]. Air pollution and pesticides may affect growth during infancy or childhood, and they are associated with neurodevelopmental and behavioral problems[176].\n\nOrganophosphates pesticides are neurotoxic at high doses and target the nervous system of children, and are associated with changes in neurotransmitters including serotonin, norepinephrine, acetylcholine, and dopamine. The associations of organophosphate pesticide and child IQ at 7 years old was noted by Stein et al[177] in 2016 and was already observed[178] as more important in children that also experience certain social adversities. Those who have the highest exposure to environmental toxicants are often the same populations and individuals who experience the greatest adversity. Children with high prenatal exposure to organophosphates who also experience specific early and persistent toxic stress may be at a greater risk for adverse cognitive development[177]. However, postnatal organophosphates studies are not numerous and most of the results are inconsistent[179].\n\nProlonged breastfeeding was associated with increased of OCPs in Norwegian children blood samples[180]. In studies that measured the levels of DDE and PCBs, organochlorine compounds postnatally, authors reported a slower growth and a higher risk of endocrine function alteration in children[181].\n\nGlyphosate is one of the agro-chemical which should also deserve a special attention in infants and children. In fact, this herbicide is inhibiting the shikimate pathway, which, when present in bacteria, controls the synthesis of aromatic compounds such as tyrosine or tryptophan, key intermediaries in systemic effects of our microbiota (see the first section of this review)[164]. From now, there seems to be no direct effect of neonatal exposure to glyphosate on gut brain axis maturation. However, since it may alter uterus development, one can\u2019t exclude any alteration of the gut homeostasis[182], since it has been evidenced that this herbicide could temporarily modify commensal bacterial community composition[183].\n\nPostnatal exposure to mycotoxins\n\nInfants and young children are more vulnerable to mycotoxins than adults, due to their constantly growing, poorly developed nervous, immune, reproductive, and digestive systems, high rate of metabolism, and restricted diet. Childhood exposure to mycotoxins, induced by the consumption of contaminated foods : Breast milk[184], infant formula or complementary foods with cereals[185], vegetables or nuts[186,187]. This has been associated with poor child growth and development[188], increased susceptibility to infections and many others effects like immune disorders[189], tumors development[190], precocious puberty[191,192], etc. Assessment of health risks related to mycotoxins ingestion during childhood has been evaluated in the last years. The presence of mycotoxins in the intestinal fluid of a child could cause more significant damage to the intestinal enterocytes because of the reduced dimension of the intestinal epithelium compared to that of an adult. An outbreak in the children population of Kashmir Valley was associated with the consumption of naturally contaminated bread with a varying quantities of trichothecene mycotoxins[193]. Symptoms of gastrointestinal illness appeared 15 min to 1 h after consuming it. DON belonging to these trichothecenes, can act on the viability and the proliferation of immune cells. This event then inhibits proteins biosynthesis that prevent cytokine production[194]. The direct consequence of this event is a higher susceptibility to infection disease which is of peculiar importance on such vulnerable people that are babies and infants. Moreover, it was evidenced that DON was affecting the intestinal barrier function in chicken[195].\n\nAF may be generated by Aspergillus Fungi.

Here, Cllr Richard Young, Cabinet Member for Communities, answers some of the most frequently asked questions.\n\n\nQ: Why is the council not increasing the fortnightly two-bag waste limit when more waste is being generated due to people spending more time at home because of the lockdown?\n\n\nCllr Young: First of all, the vast amount of additional waste which is being put out as refuse is mostly made up of items that are recyclable. With no limits on the amount of recycling that can be put out, the majority of households should have no problems as long as they maximise their recycling as there will be very little left to actually go into the refuse bag.\n\n\nThe second thing that should be realised is that Kier are currently operating with up to 25 per cent of their normal work-force, and many of their staff are self-isolating due to the pandemic. This means that if more bags are placed out for collection, it will take longer to collect them, and daily rounds may not be finished.\n\n\nThe best way of ensuring that collections can continue as normal throughout the pandemic is to ask householders to maximise the amount of waste they recycle, and keep to the two-bag limit. This will mean that no one has to miss out, and rounds can be both managed safely and completed in time despite the very challenging circumstances.\n\n\nWe will continue to review the situation as time goes on, but in general we have received very positive comments about the job the crews have been doing. They are part of the \u2018unsung heroes\u2019 of this crisis, and we thank residents for appreciating their work at this challenging time.\n\n\nQ: Is the two-bag waste restriction leading to increased fly-tipping?\n\n\nCllr Young: Despite the pandemic, we are continuing to provide a bulky waste collection service, and with households able to put out as much recycling as necessary, there is no reason for anyone to fly-tip waste. This is especially irresponsible during a national emergency, and while we have seen an increase in reported fly-tipping, we are clearing it as quickly as possible under the circumstances.\n\n\nEverybody needs to do \u2018their bit\u2019 during the pandemic, and until thing scan return to normal, we have appealed to householders to store any waste that cannot be recycled or put out for collection until such time as the community recycling centres reopen.\n\n\nWe are aware there are a large number of businesses offering \u2018waste collection\u2019 services during the pandemic, and while some have waste licences in place, many do not. The Shared Regulatory Service is carrying out checks, and the council will always take enforcement action against anyone found flytipping.\n\n\nQ: Why won\u2019t you reopen the Community Recycling Centres?\n\n\nCllr Young: This is largely because the staff at each site have been redeployed to ensure that daily recycling and refuse collections can continue to operate, but UK and Welsh Governments have both repeatedly stated that only essential travel should be taking place, and that social distancing measures should be maintained.\n\n\nIt is impossible to ensure this at community recycling centres, and \u2018trips to the tip\u2019 do not constitute essential travel. The situation is being monitored very closely, and we will be seeking to reopen the sites as soon as it is safe to do so.\n\n\nQ: Why was the garden waste collection service stopped?\n\n\nCllr Young: The only reason this stopped was because the contractor who composted the garden waste stopped providing a service due to the effects of the pandemic.\n\n\nAll customers of the service are being fully reimbursed while we seek an alternative provider.

According to Reuters, a source familiar with the matter said Google is actively negotiating with three television networks that have blocked access to their websites on Google TV.\n\nAs you'll recall, three of the nation's largest TV broadcasters have blocked the Web-based versions of their shows from being viewed through Google's Web TV service. Currently, Walt Disney Co (owners of ABC and ESPN), CBS, and NBC Universal are blocking access from Google TV.

It's called \"The Doors: A Life of Listening to Five Mean Years.\" What changed for you now as you listened to this music after spending so much time with it?\n\nMARCUS: You know, spending a lot of time with this music, for me, meant going to their shows in 1967, playing their records when they came out, but really hearing the music on the radio over the years, and a lot more so over the last five, six, seven, maybe 10 years than ever before. \"Roadhouse Blues\" and \"L.A. Woman,\" two of their greatest recordings, were not hits when they were released in 1970 and 1971. You didn't hear them on the radio then. You hear them on the radio now. These are songs that became hits over 40 years.\n\nMARTIN: What was it particularly about \"L.A. Woman\" that has given it such staying power? I mean, you hear it all the time today still.\n\n\nMORRISON: (Singing) I see your hair is burning...\n\nMARCUS: It's the sense of ordinary everyday life. It really does have the feeling of somebody walking down the street talking to people, talking to himself...\n\n\nMORRISON: (Singing) If they say I never loved you, you know they are a liar. Driving down your freeway...\n\nMARCUS: You know, maybe a little addled, maybe a little crazy, but someone who's just full of exuberance and wants to tell everybody about it.\n\n\nMORRISON: (Singing) Cops in cars, the topless bars, never saw a woman so alone, so alone.\n\nMARTIN: I wonder if through this examination, this very close look at this music, if you discovered new things.\n\nMARCUS: Yeah. You play a song again and again and again. You let it drift past you. You turn - listen to it as hard as you can and you never know what's going to hit you. And what I hear as the whole of the music is a feeling that we don't know what the next day is going to feel like. We don't know if there's going to be a next day. And so you better say what you mean. You better tell what you're afraid of. You better do it right now.\n\n\nMORRISON: (Singing) Before you slip into unconsciousness, I'd like to have another kiss, another flashing chance at bliss. Another kiss, another kiss.\n\nMARTIN: In 1971, The Doors' lead singer, Jim Morrison, flew to Paris, and he died there, but all kinds of questions lingered then, even today, about the specifics of his death. And, you know, it shows how he became this star of mythic proportions. Is it possible to divorce the power of this music from Jim Morrison?\n\nMARCUS: When I listen to this music, I hear someone who's alive and who's struggling and who's trying to get something across. I hear someone who's beset with confusion and moments of really uncanny clarity, somebody struggling to say what he wants to say, and so many times succeeding.\n\nMARTIN: That's Greil Marcus. He's the author of the book \"The Doors: A Life of Listening to Five Mean Years.\" Greil, thanks so much for talking with us. We really appreciate it.\n\nMARCUS: It was a real pleasure.

I'm not a blogger nor a novice knitter but am having difficulty with the way the instructions are written. So, is every other row (even) simply knit-all-the-way-across or is it knit the same pattern from the previous odd row, i.e. Row 28: k7,*c4f,k24*(repeat from * to * d times), c4f, k7?\n\n Thanks for the help.\n\n 1. Hi!\n All even rows knitted according to pattern: if the stitch is p on RW, it is k on WS; if k on RS, it is p on WS; c4f,\n k2tog, ssk and yo are purled.\n\n So in row 28 it will be:\n k7, *p4, k24* (repeat), p4, k7\n\n Hope that clarifies it!\n\n 2. Hi, I also bought this pattern on Knitpicks for a baby shower next Saturday. Eeeek! I'm a semi-novice knitter who always seems to pick something slightly above her skill level, but that's how you learn right?\n\n OK, when I get to row 9 (Chart 2), I'm following the steps for the first 5 boxes (p, yo, ssk, yo, ssk), but then I'm out of room to do the last two purls before the bee's body. Please help.\n\n 1. Hi Kelly -\n Let's try to diagnose the problem.\n on row 7: did you have 7 purl stitches before 4 knit stitches(bee's body)?\n You can also use my private e-mail (on the pattern) to communicate with me :)<|endoftext|>Question: What genre is Crusader Kings?\nAnswer: wargame<|endoftext|>New York Tech\u2019s Center for Esports Medicine Partners with Fnatic\n\n\nNew York Tech\u2019s Center for Esports Medicine Partners with Fnatic\n\nDecember 14, 2021\n\nNew York Institute of Technology\u2019s Center for Esports Medicine has partnered with the global esports organization Fnatic for a research collaboration that will explore how compression sleeves impact the body and possibly aid in gaming performance.

It really does have the feeling of somebody walking down the street talking to people, talking to himself...\n\n\nMORRISON: (Singing) If they say I never loved you, you know they are a liar. Driving down your freeway...\n\nMARCUS: You know, maybe a little addled, maybe a little crazy, but someone who's just full of exuberance and wants to tell everybody about it.\n\n\nMORRISON: (Singing) Cops in cars, the topless bars, never saw a woman so alone, so alone.\n\nMARTIN: I wonder if through this examination, this very close look at this music, if you discovered new things.\n\nMARCUS: Yeah. You play a song again and again and again. You let it drift past you. You turn - listen to it as hard as you can and you never know what's going to hit you. And what I hear as the whole of the music is a feeling that we don't know what the next day is going to feel like. We don't know if there's going to be a next day. And so you better say what you mean. You better tell what you're afraid of. You better do it right now.\n\n\nMORRISON: (Singing) Before you slip into unconsciousness, I'd like to have another kiss, another flashing chance at bliss. Another kiss, another kiss.\n\nMARTIN: In 1971, The Doors' lead singer, Jim Morrison, flew to Paris, and he died there, but all kinds of questions lingered then, even today, about the specifics of his death. And, you know, it shows how he became this star of mythic proportions. Is it possible to divorce the power of this music from Jim Morrison?\n\nMARCUS: When I listen to this music, I hear someone who's alive and who's struggling and who's trying to get something across. I hear someone who's beset with confusion and moments of really uncanny clarity, somebody struggling to say what he wants to say, and so many times succeeding.\n\nMARTIN: That's Greil Marcus. He's the author of the book \"The Doors: A Life of Listening to Five Mean Years.\" Greil, thanks so much for talking with us. We really appreciate it.\n\nMARCUS: It was a real pleasure.

As you might have already guessed (hee-hee) one of my patterns, Buzzy Bee Blanket has been chosen for KnitPicks Kits and is featured in this month KnitPicks catalog!\n\nI got the whole page!!! Look at that:\nI have to tell you: that is a pretty awesome feeling to see your designs professionally photographed like this!\n\nBy the way: if you happen to buy the kit or just a pattern and have some yarn left over - stay tuned. I am almost finished writing a pattern for this hat, that will take care of those leftovers.\n\nLittle Buzzy Bee Hat\n\nHappy Knitting Everyone!\n\n\n 1. I purchased the kit thru KP. I'm not a blogger nor a novice knitter but am having difficulty with the way the instructions are written. So, is every other row (even) simply knit-all-the-way-across or is it knit the same pattern from the previous odd row, i.e. Row 28: k7,*c4f,k24*(repeat from * to * d times), c4f, k7?\n\n Thanks for the help.\n\n 1. Hi!\n All even rows knitted according to pattern: if the stitch is p on RW, it is k on WS; if k on RS, it is p on WS; c4f,\n k2tog, ssk and yo are purled.\n\n So in row 28 it will be:\n k7, *p4, k24* (repeat), p4, k7\n\n Hope that clarifies it!\n\n 2. Hi, I also bought this pattern on Knitpicks for a baby shower next Saturday. Eeeek! I'm a semi-novice knitter who always seems to pick something slightly above her skill level, but that's how you learn right?\n\n OK, when I get to row 9 (Chart 2), I'm following the steps for the first 5 boxes (p, yo, ssk, yo, ssk), but then I'm out of room to do the last two purls before the bee's body. Please help.\n\n 1. Hi Kelly -\n Let's try to diagnose the problem.\n on row 7: did you have 7 purl stitches before 4 knit stitches(bee's body)?\n You can also use my private e-mail (on the pattern) to communicate with me :)<|endoftext|>New York Tech\u2019s Center for Esports Medicine Partners with Fnatic\n\n\nNew York Tech\u2019s Center for Esports Medicine Partners with Fnatic\n\nDecember 14, 2021\n\nNew York Institute of Technology\u2019s Center for Esports Medicine has partnered with the global esports organization Fnatic for a research collaboration that will explore how compression sleeves impact the body and possibly aid in gaming performance.

In languages without exceptions, returning a value is essential. C is the most notable example. In languages with exceptions, returning \"code values\" to indicate errors is a terrible design. It leads to (sometimes) cumbersome if statements instead of (sometimes) simpler exception handling. The answer (\"How to you choose...\") is simple. Don't. I think saying this adds to the conversation. You're free to ignore this answer, however. \u2013\u00a0 S.Lott Feb 17 '12 at 16:38\nI am not saying your opinion doesn't count but I am saying your opinion is not developed. With that comment, I take it the reasoning is that where we can use exceptions, we should, just because we can? I don't see the status code as masking, rather than a categorization/organization of the code flow cases \u2013\u00a0 Mihalis Bagos Feb 17 '12 at 16:44\nThe Exception already is a categorization/organization. I don't see the value in replacing an unambiguous exception with a return value that can easily be confused with \"normal\" or \"non-exceptional\" return values. Return values should always be non-exceptional. My opinion is not very developed: it's very simple. Don't transform an exception into a numeric code. It was already a perfectly good data object which serves all the perfectly good use cases we can imagine. \u2013\u00a0 S.Lott Feb 17 '12 at 18:28\n\nI agree with S.Lott. Catching the exception as close as possible to the source may be a good idea or a bad idea depending on the situation. The key to handling exceptions is to only catch them when you can do something about it. Catching them and returning a numeric value to the calling function is generally a bad design. You just want to let them float up until you can recover.\n\nI always consider exception handling to be a step away from my application logic. I ask myself, If this exception is thrown how far back up the call stack do I have to crawl before my application is in a recoverable state? In a lot of cases, if there isn't anything I can do within the application to recover, that might mean I don't catch it until the top level and just log the exception, fail the job and try to shut down cleanly.\n\nThere is really no hard and fast rule to when and how to set up exception handling other than leave them alone until you know what to do with them.\n\nshare|improve this answer\n\nSome good advice I once read was, throw exceptions when you cannot progress given the state of the data you are dealing with, however if you have a method which may throw an exception, also provide where possible a method to assert whether the data is actually valid before the method is called.\n\nFor example, System.IO.File.OpenRead() will throw a FileNotFoundException if the file supplied does not exist, however it also provides a .Exists() method which returns a boolean value indicating whether the file is present which you should call before calling OpenRead() to avoid any unexpected exceptions.\n\nTo answer the \"when should I deal with an exception\" part of the question, I would say wherever you can actually do something about it. If your method cannot deal with an exception thrown by a method it calls, don't catch it. Let it raise higher up the call chain to something that can deal with it. In some cases, this may just be a logger listening to Application.UnhandledException.\n\nshare|improve this answer\nMany people, especially python programmers, prefer EAFP i.e. \"It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to get permission\" \u2013\u00a0 Mark Booth Feb 16 '12 at 13:05\n+1 for comment about avoiding exceptions as with .Exists(). \u2013\u00a0 codingoutloud Feb 22 '12 at 19:50\n\nExceptions are beautiful things. They allow you to produce a clear description of a run time problem without resorting to unnecessary ambiguity. Exceptions can be typed, sub-typed, and may be handled by type. They can be passed around for handling elsewhere, and if they cannot be handled they can be re-raised to be dealt with at a higher layer in your application. They will also automatically return from your method without needing to invoke lots of crazy logic to deal with obfuscated error codes.\n\nYou should throw an exception immediately after encountering invalid data in your code. You should wrap calls to other methods in a try..catch..finally to handle any exceptions that might be thrown, and if you don't know how to respond to any given exception, you throw it again to indicate to higher layers that there is something wrong that should be handled elsewhere.\n\nManaging error codes can be very difficult. You usually end up with lots of unnecessary duplication in your code, and/or lots of messy logic to deal with error states. Being a user and encountering an error code is even worse, as the code itself won't be meanful, and won't provide the user with a context for the error. An exception on the other hand can tell the user something useful, like \"You forgot to enter a value\", or \"you entered an invalid value, here is the valid range you may use...\", or \"I don't know what happened, contact tech support and tell them that I just crashed, and give them the following stack trace...\".\n\nSo my question to the OP is why on Earth would you NOT want to use exceptions over returning error codes?\n\nshare|improve this answer\n\nAll good answers. I would also like to add that returning an error code instead of throwing an exception can make the caller's code more complicated. Say method A calls method B calls method C and C encounters an error. If C returns an error code, now B needs to have logic to determine if it can handle that error code. If it can't then it need to return it to A. If A can't handle the error then what do you do? Throw an exception? In this example, the code is much cleaner if C simply throws an exception, B doesn't catch the exception so it automatically aborts without any extra code needed to do so and A can catch certain types of exceptions while letting others continue up the call stack.\n\nThis brings to mind a good rule to code by:\n\nLines of code are like golden bullets.

But that's what happened on July 4, when physicists from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) announced that they had at last confirmed the existence of the elusive Higgs boson, the particle that gives the universe mass. The Higgs suffuses an energy field that permeates space, and as particles move though it, they acquire a degree of mass that corresponds to their own energy level. Failing to find the Higgs would not only have meant that a new theory would have to be developed, but that the standard model of particle physics \u2014 one of the great pillars of the field for the past several decades \u2014 would fall apart.\n\nBut the Higgs was indeed run to ground, thanks to work conducted at the massive new Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which straddles the border of Switzerland and France (read more about it in the new issue of TIME, available to subscribers here). Thousands of physicists from dozens of countries contributed to the work, but there are three undisputed leaders: Joe Incandela and Fabiola Gianotti, who led the two research teams that made the discovery; and Rolf Heuer, CERN's Director General. TIME spoke to them all by phone in Melbourne, Australia, where just three days earlier they had presented their momentous findings to the International Conference on High Energy Physics.\n\nTIME: So you did it. Almost 50 years after the Higgs was first theorized, you found it. How does that feel?\n\nGianotti: First of all, we are happy. To me personally this event is an arrival point and departure point. It's an arrival point because it's been the dream of all of us. But there's more. It brings more physics beyond the standard model. Among the questions we have in mind: dark matter, antimatter and matter symmetry. It's a very nice reward for the work.\n\nHeuer: It does open as many questions as it answers. You always find an answer but this answer usually gets you to more questions.\n\nGianotti: provided you know the right question to ask.\n\nIncandela: If you look at all the particles we've discovered before, they're either matter particles or copies of them. But the Higgs involves what makes up the universe. I give lectures to the public and say what we're searching for is the genetic code of the universe.\n\nTIME: Of those other doors the Higgs could open, one of the most tantalizing involves dark matter, the as-yet unidentified force or particle that makes up 80% of the universe and holds the galaxies together gravitationally. How can the Higgs help?\n\nIncandela: Dark matter enters in a funny way. Any particle at the subatomic level is constantly interacting with other particles in space time. Some of this is described through supersymmetry, in which sets of particles exactly parallel other particles but cancel out some of the mass. Dark matter enters because we believe that in supersymmetry the lightest supersymmetric particle doesn't decay. This is the dark matter. When you do the calculation it almost perfectly matches the mass or density for the amount of dark matter we think is in the universe.\n\nTIME: And what about dark energy \u2014 the even less-understood force that contributes to the expansion of the universe?\n\nHeuer: The Higgs would be the first fundamental scalar which we have in our hands. A scalar has zero spin \u2014 it has no preferred direction. If you are swimming in a river, the force exerted on you by the water is different depending on which way you're swimming. If you're in a swimming pool there's no preferred direction. The Higgs must be a scalar, or mass would depend on the direction a particle is moving. Dark energy must be a scalar too because dark energy moves in all directions. So now we have two scalars. We might with these be able to determine the nature of fundamental scalars.\n\nTIME: What was it about the Higgs that made it such a consuming goal for physicists? After all, the field has looked for \u2014 and found \u2014 other particles before.\n\nHeuer: It's not just another type of particle.\n\nGianotti: The top quark was discovered in 1995 and since then the Higgs has become our obsession because the standard model was incomplete with out it. We had to understand things like why the top quark was so heavy and the electron is so light. The Higgs is a big, important step.\n\nHeuer: The difference between finding the top quark and the Higgs was that we knew the top quark had to be there but for the Higgs we were wishing it would be there but it didn't have to be. One thing that's important to say is that if we had excluded the Higgs in the energy range of the LHC we would have found its replacement. But it would have taken much longer because we wouldn't know its nature.\n\nTIME: Had you begun to worry that you indeed might not find it?\n\nIncandela: Only in the past few years did I begin to worry. Once we started in the LHC we eliminated a huge amount of space so quickly [in the particle weight spectrum.] We looked between 100 and 600 GeV [billion electron volts] and had only about a 15 GeV rage around 125. That's all that was left.\n\nTIME: And that's right where you found it. What there a particular moment that you realized you'd succeeded?\n\nIncandela: We were working so hard to put everything together, but when we unblinded the data and saw a big signal, I realized we had something. But I was reserved. The work was not done until I walked into the room [at the Melbourne meeting.] As I was giving the presentation and showed the distribution, it hit me.

If history is our guide, that will be true whether the CPI is rising or declining.\n\nFaith in God of course, will be required to endure the hardships that await us - even if my gloom and doom outlook proves to be completely wrong because eventually we all will be faced with a time when life on this earth is over.

But that's what happened on July 4, when physicists from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) announced that they had at last confirmed the existence of the elusive Higgs boson, the particle that gives the universe mass. The Higgs suffuses an energy field that permeates space, and as particles move though it, they acquire a degree of mass that corresponds to their own energy level. Failing to find the Higgs would not only have meant that a new theory would have to be developed, but that the standard model of particle physics \u2014 one of the great pillars of the field for the past several decades \u2014 would fall apart.\n\nBut the Higgs was indeed run to ground, thanks to work conducted at the massive new Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which straddles the border of Switzerland and France (read more about it in the new issue of TIME, available to subscribers here). Thousands of physicists from dozens of countries contributed to the work, but there are three undisputed leaders: Joe Incandela and Fabiola Gianotti, who led the two research teams that made the discovery; and Rolf Heuer, CERN's Director General. TIME spoke to them all by phone in Melbourne, Australia, where just three days earlier they had presented their momentous findings to the International Conference on High Energy Physics.\n\nTIME: So you did it. Almost 50 years after the Higgs was first theorized, you found it. How does that feel?\n\nGianotti: First of all, we are happy. To me personally this event is an arrival point and departure point. It's an arrival point because it's been the dream of all of us. But there's more. It brings more physics beyond the standard model. Among the questions we have in mind: dark matter, antimatter and matter symmetry. It's a very nice reward for the work.\n\nHeuer: It does open as many questions as it answers. You always find an answer but this answer usually gets you to more questions.\n\nGianotti: provided you know the right question to ask.\n\nIncandela: If you look at all the particles we've discovered before, they're either matter particles or copies of them. But the Higgs involves what makes up the universe. I give lectures to the public and say what we're searching for is the genetic code of the universe.\n\nTIME: Of those other doors the Higgs could open, one of the most tantalizing involves dark matter, the as-yet unidentified force or particle that makes up 80% of the universe and holds the galaxies together gravitationally. How can the Higgs help?\n\nIncandela: Dark matter enters in a funny way. Any particle at the subatomic level is constantly interacting with other particles in space time. Some of this is described through supersymmetry, in which sets of particles exactly parallel other particles but cancel out some of the mass. Dark matter enters because we believe that in supersymmetry the lightest supersymmetric particle doesn't decay. This is the dark matter. When you do the calculation it almost perfectly matches the mass or density for the amount of dark matter we think is in the universe.\n\nTIME: And what about dark energy \u2014 the even less-understood force that contributes to the expansion of the universe?\n\nHeuer: The Higgs would be the first fundamental scalar which we have in our hands. A scalar has zero spin \u2014 it has no preferred direction. If you are swimming in a river, the force exerted on you by the water is different depending on which way you're swimming. If you're in a swimming pool there's no preferred direction. The Higgs must be a scalar, or mass would depend on the direction a particle is moving. Dark energy must be a scalar too because dark energy moves in all directions. So now we have two scalars. We might with these be able to determine the nature of fundamental scalars.\n\nTIME: What was it about the Higgs that made it such a consuming goal for physicists? After all, the field has looked for \u2014 and found \u2014 other particles before.\n\nHeuer: It's not just another type of particle.\n\nGianotti: The top quark was discovered in 1995 and since then the Higgs has become our obsession because the standard model was incomplete with out it. We had to understand things like why the top quark was so heavy and the electron is so light. The Higgs is a big, important step.\n\nHeuer: The difference between finding the top quark and the Higgs was that we knew the top quark had to be there but for the Higgs we were wishing it would be there but it didn't have to be. One thing that's important to say is that if we had excluded the Higgs in the energy range of the LHC we would have found its replacement. But it would have taken much longer because we wouldn't know its nature.\n\nTIME: Had you begun to worry that you indeed might not find it?\n\nIncandela: Only in the past few years did I begin to worry. Once we started in the LHC we eliminated a huge amount of space so quickly [in the particle weight spectrum.] We looked between 100 and 600 GeV [billion electron volts] and had only about a 15 GeV rage around 125. That's all that was left.\n\nTIME: And that's right where you found it. What there a particular moment that you realized you'd succeeded?\n\nIncandela: We were working so hard to put everything together, but when we unblinded the data and saw a big signal, I realized we had something. But I was reserved. The work was not done until I walked into the room [at the Melbourne meeting.] As I was giving the presentation and showed the distribution, it hit me. We really discovered this thing! It wasn't just that I had the moment, it was having the whole community and they believed it. If you get married by a judge in his office it's not like a church wedding.\n\nHeuer: For me it's a little bit different. I'm not in the details. I have to be neutral.

The first season\u2019s TSWDs were grandfathered in and included literal Superman Brandon Routh. The others are an iconic sci-fi time traveler played by Arthur Darvill (famous for portraying an iconic sci-fi time traveler) and played by Victor Freaking Garber.\n\nIt\u2019s an even bigger ask when your character\u2019s main asset is turning his ass to steel on command, or at least as often as the SFX budget / arbitrary budget-saving impositions allow. The show needed to make the audience fall fast and hard for Steel without a Big Backstory or Wowza Powers; especially is tough when his personality could be charitably described as \u2018equal parts bland and douchenozzle.\u2019 The personality serves its purpose, of course. He\u2019s bland to let some of the zanier established characters bounce off of him, and a douchenozzle because it makes sense with his backstory, but none of that makes him easier to play.\n\nEnter Nick Zano: a delightful performer and by all accounts equally lovely human.\u00a0\n\nIt\u2019s immediately apparent Nate the History Prof is still a frat boy at heart, an Indiana Jones wannabe, \u201cnice guy\u201d and \u201cfriendzone\u201d rolled into a cute package who\u2019ll hit on any female in a 10-mile radius. An audience member might expect Heywood to be a redshirt, or maybe a short-arc baddie (as his dad was originally slated to be . . . but that\u2019s another story). Instead, he became a series stalwart, a lightning rod for audience ire, and one of the best and worst of the Legends and us.\n\nAudience disdain for him as the most basic-ass and disposable of the Legends often raises his\u00a0 current sometimes-smarm and historical frat-bro-i-ness which is detailed in flashbacks, past-personality-revealing escapades, visits to 18th Century France, and more ways only a show this wonky and ridiculous can manage. Those objections have some foundation, but they\u2019re fairly flimsy, particularly when his crimes, misdemeanours, and demeanour are considered in the context of his compadres and everything they\u2019re forgiven for.\n\nTo wit:\n\nNate\u2019s captain Sara Lance is a LITERAL ASSASSIN turned intergalactic badass and paragon of destiny. Before killing other checkered-past-ninjas, she slept with her sister\u2019s boyfriend.\n\n(Speaking of Oliver, he too started as smarmy cheating playboy douchenozzle a la Nate Heywood, before growing into a respected and adored paragon, beloved husband and father, saver of worlds, beginner of franchises. Much of this came through his friendship with a more mature, wiser John Diggle, a role Ray plays to Nate in Legends; more on that later.)\u00a0\n\nMick Rory is an unapologetic thief attempting to set a bad example in every category of vice, a father trying to atone for 20 years of absenteeism (complicated by time-traveling insemination and several stints of imprisonment), and general rude crude misogynist.\n\nSure he\u2019s trying to do better by his daughter and writes flaming bodice-rippers, but why is Nate\u2019s collegiate dude-bro-ness less forgivable than Rory\u2019s old-school dismissiveness?\n\nDelving into the comics is beyond the scope of this post, but pre-Legends Constantine was and is hella problematic, in a way we all love. Constantine is a conman and liar, chronically thoughtless and rude, treats Gary like an android assistant, and oh yeah sent a young girl to hell. Sure, it was an accident. But so were the byproducts of Nate\u2019s kegstands.\u00a0\n\nAll these characters are often accepted as better heroes / humans than Nate, and take less eye-rolling than he from fans. Before I argue why Nate deserves as much or more leeway, let\u2019s first understand why he, amongst all the Legends, bears the brunt of audience disgruntlement.\n\nOne reason some characters are given more leeway than others is their worst transgressions and most boring and/or douchey phases happened \u2018pre-story\u2019, at least pre-Legends\n\nSara sleeping with her sister\u2019s playboy boyfriend was a prelude to Arrow, a backstory blip several years ago real-time and in-universe. Sara was forgiven within that show by said sister Laurel, who was alive and then dead and then alive again . . . and Sara, too, has died and been resurrected since that particular transgression, and her Assassin Phase was mitigated by little things like brainwashing and imprisonment and other off-screen events. Mick\u2019s criminal rampages happened on The Flash, which is also where his quasi-redemption arc began. Constantine\u2019s bad habits were in fuller display on his own NBC show, though he couldn\u2019t smoke either there or on Legend\u2019s CW, which continues to find creative ways to work around showing it while still insinuating he smokes all the time\n\nWhereas they all arrive fully formed, Nate is a blank slate, and the show needs to give us all his flaws up front along with his smarmy charms. We were introduced to all his flaws and drawbacks all at once. Boy, does he have some drawbacks.\n\nBalance can also be tricky, and sometimes the characters are written as though they are from different universes, because they literally are.

Much of this came through his friendship with a more mature, wiser John Diggle, a role Ray plays to Nate in Legends; more on that later.)\u00a0\n\nMick Rory is an unapologetic thief attempting to set a bad example in every category of vice, a father trying to atone for 20 years of absenteeism (complicated by time-traveling insemination and several stints of imprisonment), and general rude crude misogynist.\n\nSure he\u2019s trying to do better by his daughter and writes flaming bodice-rippers, but why is Nate\u2019s collegiate dude-bro-ness less forgivable than Rory\u2019s old-school dismissiveness?\n\nDelving into the comics is beyond the scope of this post, but pre-Legends Constantine was and is hella problematic, in a way we all love. Constantine is a conman and liar, chronically thoughtless and rude, treats Gary like an android assistant, and oh yeah sent a young girl to hell. Sure, it was an accident. But so were the byproducts of Nate\u2019s kegstands.\u00a0\n\nAll these characters are often accepted as better heroes / humans than Nate, and take less eye-rolling than he from fans. Before I argue why Nate deserves as much or more leeway, let\u2019s first understand why he, amongst all the Legends, bears the brunt of audience disgruntlement.\n\nOne reason some characters are given more leeway than others is their worst transgressions and most boring and/or douchey phases happened \u2018pre-story\u2019, at least pre-Legends\n\nSara sleeping with her sister\u2019s playboy boyfriend was a prelude to Arrow, a backstory blip several years ago real-time and in-universe. Sara was forgiven within that show by said sister Laurel, who was alive and then dead and then alive again . . . and Sara, too, has died and been resurrected since that particular transgression, and her Assassin Phase was mitigated by little things like brainwashing and imprisonment and other off-screen events. Mick\u2019s criminal rampages happened on The Flash, which is also where his quasi-redemption arc began. Constantine\u2019s bad habits were in fuller display on his own NBC show, though he couldn\u2019t smoke either there or on Legend\u2019s CW, which continues to find creative ways to work around showing it while still insinuating he smokes all the time\n\nWhereas they all arrive fully formed, Nate is a blank slate, and the show needs to give us all his flaws up front along with his smarmy charms. We were introduced to all his flaws and drawbacks all at once. Boy, does he have some drawbacks.\n\nBalance can also be tricky, and sometimes the characters are written as though they are from different universes, because they literally are. It works because the show stays fresh with a dazzling variety of faces and plots, and because writers and actors alike are blessed by Bee", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document",

about it much even though they lived--both of them--in places where it directly affected them. I suspect that my mother didn't want integration or equal rights. She would never articulate that directly, but I know her parents felt that way. She felt (feels) that equal rights are important or modern, but not in any real way. She's not outraged by evidence of inequality. My dad was probably less affected, being in a smaller town. His trajectory was different. The older he got, the more he believed in the importance of equal rights--for everyone.\n\nGoing to college in Memphis, I finally got the opportunity to face the history of the south more directly. Our poor working town a little farther north and east wasn't really touched by slavery, segregation, or civil unrest the way Memphis was. On the river, embedded in the cobblestone banks, are the large metal loops used to hook boats bringing cotton to the Cotton Exchange. In my first year, I traveled through Mississippi driving by shack after shack at the edges of now fallow fields. It wasn't hard to imagine what the area had been like a century before. And driving to my grandparents in the early fall, the road was lined with cotton that spilled off of trucks. Harvested mostly by machine, it wasn't hard to imagine the fields on either side of the road filled with people filling bags with cotton.\n\nIt seemed at once romantic and horrific to me to imagine slavery. I enrolled in African-American literature classes, reading The Bluest Eye, Meridian, The Color Purple, Their Eyes Were Watching God, and more. The conversations were almost always heated. There were no black students in our class and so the conversations were mostly between the sympathetic and not. Truly academic in many ways.\n\nBut then I took a class in African American history. I wanted to learn more about the events referenced in those novels. It was the most memorable class I ever took. I wouldn't consider myself an exemplary student. I did well enough, but mostly I coasted on my natural abilities rather than putting forth major effort. In this class, however, I became obsessed. I decided in my final project to write the history of the integration of our college, which occurred just before Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in our city and after the public schools integrated. This required a lot of work on my part. I went to the public library and looked up old newspaper articles on other schools' integration processes, on the sanitation workers strike, on other events going on all around the college related to the Civil Rights movement. I tried to get a sense of what the social climate in the city was like. I interviewed all the first black students to enter our college, tape recording the sessions and transcribing them. I interviewed subsequent entering students. They all told me great stories, especially around their participation in Civil Rights activities. I can remember talking to one man and in the background, the clock was ticking, but otherwise, there was no noise except him talking, telling his story. I didn't interrupt. I barely breathed. I tried to get minutes from the board meeting where the decision was made to integrate the school. I was blocked. My professor and my father (an alum and a lawyer) both tried to help me get them. Our official history stated that on such and such a date, the board decided to integrate. And that was that. No discussion of whether the decision was contentious. Nothing.\n\nThat whole experience led to more classes. It led to my applying not just to creative writing programs, but an equal number of African-American studies programs. I continued to be fascinated, to take classes. But it was more than academic for me. I participated in protests. I did what I could to take an active role. I saw connections between feminism and civil rights. I could have just seen the Civil Rights movement as something that happened before my time and that was largely successful. But instead, digging into it the way I did, I understood that people died for their rights and that the untimely death of a key leader shortchanged the whole movement and that there's still much work to be done. People still die over racial issues. It may not be the KKK doing the killing anymore. The fight may not be about the blatant refusal to allow a black man to sit at the same lunch counter. But Civil Rights is as important an issue as ever.<|endoftext|>Attending Comic Con suited Laura more than Victoria because Laura was more enthusiastic about cosplay and nerdy things.<|endoftext|>\n\nThursday, March 26, 2009\n\n\nBritain\u2019s Foreign Secretary David Miliband has announced that the British government will have an enquiry into the Iraq war at some time after most of the remaining British troops in Iraq return home after 31 July 2009.\n\nWhile Andrew Porter of the UK \u2018Daily Telegraph\u2019 reports that \u201cNumber 10 strategists believe that announcing a full inquiry is vital in persuading the many Labour voters who turned away from the party after the 2003 invasion that the same mistakes will not be made again\u201d, there are no details of how wide-ranging the enquiry is likely to be. Other reports, however, suggest that the enquiry will be held in private.\n\nWhat is clear is that the enquiry will be more for political reasons inasmuch that it aims to attract those Labour voters that turned away from the party because of the invasion of Iraq rather than be a sincere enquiry into the true circumstances surrounding then Prime Minister Tony Blair\u2019s insistence on allying Britain to Bush\u2019s determination to invade Iraq and the ruses and downright lies that Blair used in his efforts to get British public opinion to support the invasion. One wonders, therefore, just how far the enquiry will really go in terms of making an effort to determine the extent of lies and falsehoods Blair and his pro-war supporters used to involve the UK in the war that a large majority of Britons did not support.\n\nNo comments:<|endoftext|>The Problem with Public Art is the Public\n\nIn the museum world, Seattle audiences are famous for their hands. They can\u2019t keep them to themselves. That\u2019s why museum guards at the Seattle Art Museum tend to look nervous, because toddlers aren\u2019t the only ones who\u2019ll reach out to touch the lovely line of a painted hip or a cloud tumbling across a painted sky.\n\nIn Seattle, we are not known for our ability to touch each other, but we touch art on instinct and as a form of appreciation. That\u2019s why Jackson Pollock\u2019s \u201cSea Change\u201d from 1947 at SAM had to be encased in a Plexiglas box. People kept picking the peddles out of the tarry blacks. I saw the painting before the box, and there\u2019s no comparison.\n\nYes, audiences around the world contain those whose digits do a lot of unauthorized walking. In Seattle, however, we appear to have a concentration. Remember what happened to Doug Hollis\u2019 \u201cSoundgarden,\u201d the wind-activated sculpture at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration campus next to Magnuson Park?

Previously the spam sending software spammers were using was acting like reasonably well behaved email sending software. It would connect to us, trying to send it's spam, then disconnect just like any other email sending system on the Internet. They'd do that every now and then, maybe an hour or two between attempts. Still, with 100,000's of machines, that's millions of attempts a day to send spam.\n\nNow however, the zombie machines and software have\u00a0just gone insane and are connecting over and over every few minutes, but mostly doing nothing during the connection. While that in theory might seem fine since they do nothing, it's not. When you have 200,000+ machines connecting to you every few minutes, even if they do nothing you still have the connections to deal with, the RBL DNS lookups, the rate limiting lookups, etc.\n\nThe result was a significant jump in load on the incoming servers, significantly above the load jump we've seen over the last couple of months even.\n\nTo combat this,\u00a0we've had to invoke some old code from a previous \"bombing\" attempt we had a while back. This code continuously scans the logs looking for particular aberrant behavior and then put those IPs on a special \"early\" block list which means as soon as the machine connects, it's sent a response of:\n\n454 Service temporarily unavailable; Client host [x.y.z.a] blocked using internal list; Access denied\n\nAnd disconnected. Over the course of a couple of hours and days (as infected computers out there were turned on and off), we've built up a list of over 200,000 IPs that are now being \"early blocked\" like this. To give you an idea of how", "base_doc": " just after the whole thing was \"over\". My parents didn't talk about it much even though they lived--both of them--in places where it directly affected them. I suspect that my mother didn't want integration or equal rights. She would never articulate that directly, but I know her parents felt that way. She felt (feels) that equal rights are important or modern, but not in any real way. She's not outraged by evidence of inequality. My dad was probably less affected, being in a smaller town. His trajectory was different. The older he got, the more he believed in the importance of equal rights--for everyone.\n\nGoing to college in Memphis, I finally got the opportunity to face the history of the south more directly. Our poor working town a little farther north and east wasn't really touched by slavery, segregation, or civil unrest the way Memphis was. On the river, embedded in the cobblestone banks, are the large metal loops used to hook boats bringing cotton to the Cotton Exchange. In my first year, I traveled through Mississippi driving by shack after shack at the edges of now fallow fields. It wasn't hard to imagine what the area had been like a century before. And driving to my grandparents in the early fall, the road was lined with cotton that spilled off of trucks. Harvested mostly by machine, it wasn't hard to imagine the fields on either side of the road filled with people filling bags with cotton.\n\nIt seemed at once romantic and horrific to me to imagine slavery. I enrolled in African-American literature classes, reading The Bluest Eye, Meridian, The Color Purple, Their Eyes Were Watching God, and more. The conversations were almost always heated. There were no black students in our class and so the conversations were mostly between the sympathetic and not. Truly academic in many ways.\n\nBut then I took a class in African American history. I wanted to learn more about the events referenced in those novels. It was the most memorable class I ever took. I wouldn't consider myself an exemplary student. I did well enough, but mostly I coasted on my natural abilities rather than putting forth major effort. In this class, however, I became obsessed. I decided in my final project to write the history of the integration of our college, which occurred just before Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in our city and after the public schools integrated. This required a lot of work on my part. I went to the public library and looked up old newspaper articles on other schools' integration processes, on the sanitation workers strike, on other events going on all around the college related to the Civil Rights movement. I tried to get a sense of what the social climate in the city was like. I interviewed all the first black students to enter our college, tape recording the sessions and transcribing them. I interviewed subsequent entering students. They all told me great stories, especially around their participation in Civil Rights activities. I can remember talking to one man and in the background, the clock was ticking, but otherwise, there was no noise except him talking, telling his story. I didn't interrupt. I barely breathed. I tried to get minutes from the board meeting where the decision was made to integrate the school. I was blocked. My professor and my father (an alum and a lawyer) both tried to help me get them. Our official history stated that on such and such a date, the board decided to integrate. And that was that. No discussion of whether the decision was contentious. Nothing.\n\nThat whole experience led to more classes. It led to my applying not just to creative writing programs, but an equal number of African-American studies programs. I continued to be fascinated, to take classes. But it was more than academic for me. I participated in protests. I did what I could to take an active role. I saw connections between feminism and civil rights. I could have just seen the Civil Rights movement as something that happened before my time and that was largely successful. But instead, digging into it the way I did, I understood that people died for their rights and that the untimely death of a key leader shortchanged the whole movement and that there's still much work to be done. People still die over racial issues. It may not be the KKK doing the killing anymore. The fight may not be about the blatant refusal to allow a black man to sit at the same lunch counter. But Civil Rights is as important an issue as ever.<|endoftext|>\n\nThursday, March 26, 2009\n\n\nBritain\u2019s Foreign Secretary David Miliband has announced that the British government will have an enquiry into the Iraq war at some time after most of the remaining British troops in Iraq return home after 31 July 2009.\n\nWhile Andrew Porter of the UK \u2018Daily Telegraph\u2019 reports that \u201cNumber 10 strategists believe that announcing a full inquiry is vital in persuading the many Labour voters who turned away from the party after the 2003 invasion that the same mistakes will not be made again\u201d, there are no details of how wide-ranging the enquiry is likely to be. Other reports, however, suggest that the enquiry will be held in private.\n\nWhat is clear is that the enquiry will be more for political reasons inasmuch that it aims to attract those Labour voters that turned away from the party because of the invasion of Iraq rather than be a sincere enquiry into the true circumstances surrounding then Prime Minister Tony Blair\u2019s insistence on allying Britain to Bush\u2019s determination to invade Iraq and the ruses and downright lies that Blair used in his efforts to get British public opinion to support the invasion. One wonders, therefore, just how far the enquiry will really go in terms of making an effort to determine the extent of lies and falsehoods Blair and his pro-war supporters used to involve the UK in the war that a large majority of Britons did not support.\n\nNo comments:<|endoftext|>The Problem with Public Art is the Public\n\nIn the museum world, Seattle audiences are famous for their hands.

Thus Cortes and his men entered the city, not only as guests, but also as gods coming home. It was the first direct encounter between one of the most extraordinary pre-Columbian cultures and the strangers who would eventually destroy it.\n\nCortes landed on the coast at Veracruz on Good Friday, April 22, 1519; the Aztec capital surrendered to him on August 13, 1521. The events that took place between these two dates have been recounted in a number of chronicles and other writings, of which the best known are the letters Cortes wrote to King Charles V and the True History of the Conquest of Mexico by Bernal Diaz del Castillo. These two works, along with a few others also written by Spaniards, until now have been almost the only basis on which historians have judged the conquest of one of the greatest civilizations in pre-Columbian America.\n\nBut these chronicles present only one side of the story, that of the conquerors.

You could also call this being introverted (though many introverts are able to work well in teams, and simply need time alone to recharge) or being unsociable. However, it's usually a sign of a deeper flaw: being stubborn. See, if your characters are like me, they'll be unhappy changing their plans because somebody else has asked them to. They won't take advice. This can be a problem when taking advice would save their life, and can result in mistakes. It can also link to being self-obsessed, when characters believe they're better than everyone else, and that's why they won't mix. It's a totally different matter when they genuinely are better than everyone else ... you know, like me.\n\nI'm kidding. Kind of. But my hair is.\n\nFictional character displaying this trait: Harry Potter, who refuses to take advice on account of being the 'Chosen One' and believing that nobody else knows what he's going through. He overcomes it and takes Hermione's advice, though, which is pretty sensible. Hermione is like a fictional Pepper Potts -- organised and isn't going to let Harry's stubbornness get in the way.\n\nBeing volatile. Also known as being changeable or fickle. I would argue that I'm not that changeable, but Pepper would beg to differ.

One of the major causes of the current recession is the havoc that has been wreaked by a largely-unregulated lending industry, with particular blame on mortgage lenders.\u00a0 Americans place a tremendous amount of self-worth on someday owning a nice house with a white picket fence and a swing in the front yard.\u00a0 This is really just social conditioning.\u00a0 People in most of the rest of the world do not feel the same drive to own their own housing that Americans do.\u00a0 Even in Europe, it is not unusual (or stigmatized) for families to rent their housing well into their 40s, and in places like Asia, many folks never own their own place.\u00a0 Why to lose it: Housing is one of the main assets that ties a person to a particular place.\u00a0 Not only are houses expensive (maintenance, fees, taxes, mortgage), but they also have a sort of magnetism that ties their inhabitants to them.\u00a0 Once you are settled in one place and are financially and emotionally committed to it, you are less likely to want to change your circumstances.\u00a0 What to do instead: Apartments are great in that you are only committed to them for a limited period of time, and even if you need to break that contract, the cost is comparatively small.\u00a0 Thanks to places like Craigslist, it is no longer difficult to find a wide variety of rooms, apartments or even houses to rent, and many of them can be surprisingly flexible about lease durations.\u00a0 If you want to be really hardcore and plan on spending most of your time on the move, rent an indoor, climate-controlled storage facility (about $50/month) for the belongings you aren\u2019t taking with you but you really want to keep (bedding, off-season clothes, etc) and rely on the kindness of friends, family, and couchsurfers.\u00a0 Remember, home is where the heart is.\n \u2022 Debt/Credit Cards. One need only look at the wonderful blog Man VS. Debt to see what you can do when you don\u2019t have debt hanging over your head.\u00a0 For many, this will be the most difficult to get rid of, but it is also the item likely to cause the most profound change.\u00a0 Society has managed to convince us that we need credit cards because we need to buy things we can\u2019t afford in order to keep up with the Jones.\u00a0 Why to lose it: If you don\u2019t have debt payments to make, you only need to make enough money to survive, and that opens up a lot of options.\u00a0 Also, the only person who benefits from debt is the credit card companies.\u00a0 Period.\u00a0 What to do instead: Stop caring about having stuff.\u00a0 Some people advise you to think about whether or not most people in the rest of the world do without your purchase, but that\u2019s a little too detached for me.\u00a0 Instead, before you buy something, think about what you will do with it if you go abroad.\u00a0 If it\u2019s going to have to go into storage, think long and hard before you purchase it.\u00a0 Also, don\u2019t buy for the future; if it\u2019s not something you are going to use now, you don\u2019t really know if you need it, right? (Exceptions are off-season clothing that is on sale, etc.)\u00a0 If you have a lot of student loans hanging over your head, look into programs abroad that will make payments for you while you are abroad \u2013 the Peace Corps is excellent about this \u2013 or find work while you\u2019re overseas.\u00a0 Another option is to sell your belongings, if you have them.\u00a0 It\u2019s stuff you\u2019d probably have to put into storage anyway, so why not make some money off it instead?\n \u2022 Pets. I know that having fido or fluffy gives you something to look forward to at the end of the day, but pets are pretty much a no-go for nomads unless you have someone who stays back home to take care of them.\u00a0 Believe me, I love animals \u2013 I\u2019m a professional dog walker and I have had around 30 pets over the course of my life \u2013 but I also am acutely aware of the limitations they can place on your mobility.\u00a0 Why to lose it: Unless you want to put your animal through the emotional trauma of being pawned off on your friends or relatives for extended periods of time, having a pet is not a good move for a frequent traveler, nor healthy for the animal.\u00a0 What to do instead: Buy a plant (when pawned off on a friend, these become gifts, rather than burdens).\u00a0 Become friends with the dogs at your local dog park.\u00a0 Offer to pet sit for people.\u00a0 Spend more time outside your home.\n \u2022 Contracts. In particular I am thinking of things like work-duration contracts (you agree to work for them for 1 year, etc) and things like cell phone contracts.\u00a0 Contracts are the ultimate representation of restriction, but they hide this by often offering benefits (a guaranteed job, a cheaper phone, etc).\u00a0 Why to lose it: By their very nature, contracts punish you for making your own decisions.\u00a0 Want to leave your job early and work somewhere else?\u00a0 Well, you\u2019ve broken your contract and now lost a reference.\u00a0 Want to get a different cell phone carrier before yours sucks?\u00a0 It\u2019s going to really cost you.\u00a0 Contracts claim to help you, but in reality, there are generally very few benefits to signing anything that restricts your free will.\u00a0 What do to instead: Find a job that does not require you to work for them and only them for a specified duration, or alternatively, offer to work for a reduced rate in exchange for not being bound to a piece of paper.\u00a0 For things like services, find out if there is a \u201cpay as you go\u201d option as can often be found with cell phones.\n\nAs you can see, by choosing not to have these things, you are also choosing to reject large portions of the status quo.\u00a0 You know what?\u00a0 That\u2019s okay.\u00a0 Not everyone needs a house, car, spouse, two kids, desk job, and a golden retriever.\u00a0 If the white picket fence isn\u2019t your dream, then why bother picking up all the trappings?\u00a0 Live your own vision, not someone else\u2019s.\u00a0 To do any less is to shortchange yourself at life.\u00a0 Do you want that?\u00a0 I doubt it.\n\nIn the interests of disclosure, here\u2019s how I stack up against my own advice:\n\n \u2022 Vehicle: None, though I am on the title of our Ural sidecar motorcycle.\u00a0 I am supremely lucky in that I am able to use Marc\u2019s car without having it be a ball and chain around my own leg.\u00a0 If I were not able to use Marc\u2019s car, I would put more effort into getting our Ural running daily, or I would find a job that I could use public transportation to get to.\n \u2022 Housing: Marc and I live in an apartment now, but prior to this and prior to Korea, I lived for a year via the storage unit/couch method I described above.\u00a0 I had minimal costs, I was able to visit people and places I had never seen before, and I got to know many of my friends far better than I had known them previously.\u00a0 In an entire year, there were only a couple nights that I had to actually sleep in my truck, and it wasn\u2019t the end of the world.\n \u2022 Debt: This is the #1 issue I still struggle with.\u00a0 It took me years to finally learn that I didn\u2019t need more stuff, and thankfully this lesson has largely stuck.\u00a0 I still have a reasonable amount of credit card debt to pay off, but it was largely accrued while I did not have a job.\u00a0 But, debt is by far the largest stone I carry, and it\u2019s pretty much the only thing that prevents me from being able to get up and go work in low-paying", "base_doc": " on-demand if you want to head out on a weekend road trip.\u00a0 Why to lose it: Between vehicle payments, insurance, maintenance, and property taxes, vehicles are expensive!\u00a0 Not only that, but once you have one and have invested so much money in it, you\u2019re likely to be loathe to get rid of it.\u00a0 If you have a vehicle and want to spend an extended amount of time abroad, you will have to either find someone to look after it for you or you will have to sell it (most likely at a loss).\u00a0 What to do instead: Live in a city with at least moderately decent public transportation (a good bus system will do).\u00a0 Invest in a Zip Car membership and a bike.\u00a0 If you absolutely must have a vehicle, look into getting a scooter or a small (250cc or below) motorcycle.\u00a0 They don\u2019t take up much space, are often eligible for free parking, are far cheaper than a car to both purchase and maintain, they get great gas mileage (even a larger motorcycle like our 750cc Ural gets around 30mpg, and a small bike or scooter may get over 100mpg), and they maintain their value much more than cars and are easier to sell.\u00a0 Being \u201cCar Free\u201d does still cost you some money (a bike, a zip car membership, taxis, etc), but in the end it is far less than what a car would cost, and if you decide to move abroad, you don\u2019t have to worry about having something expensive and complex to sell.\u00a0 In not buying a car/vehicle, you\u2019re effectively buying your freedom.\n \u2022 A House.

(Exceptions are off-season clothing that is on sale, etc.)\u00a0 If you have a lot of student loans hanging over your head, look into programs abroad that will make payments for you while you are abroad \u2013 the Peace Corps is excellent about this \u2013 or find work while you\u2019re overseas.\u00a0 Another option is to sell your belongings, if you have them.\u00a0 It\u2019s stuff you\u2019d probably have to put into storage anyway, so why not make some money off it instead?\n \u2022 Pets. I know that having fido or fluffy gives you something to look forward to at the end of the day, but pets are pretty much a no-go for nomads unless you have someone who stays back home to take care of them.\u00a0 Believe me, I love animals \u2013 I\u2019m a professional dog walker and I have had around 30 pets over the course of my life \u2013 but I also am acutely aware of the limitations they can place on your mobility.\u00a0 Why to lose it: Unless you want to put your animal through the emotional trauma of being pawned off on your friends or relatives for extended periods of time, having a pet is not a good move for a frequent traveler, nor healthy for the animal.\u00a0 What to do instead: Buy a plant (when pawned off on a friend, these become gifts, rather than burdens).\u00a0 Become friends with the dogs at your local dog park.\u00a0 Offer to pet sit for people.\u00a0 Spend more time outside your home.\n \u2022 Contracts. In particular I am thinking of things like work-duration contracts (you agree to work for them for 1 year, etc) and things like cell phone contracts.\u00a0 Contracts are the ultimate representation of restriction, but they hide this by often offering benefits (a guaranteed job, a cheaper phone, etc).\u00a0 Why to lose it: By their very nature, contracts punish you for making your own decisions.\u00a0 Want to leave your job early and work somewhere else?\u00a0 Well, you\u2019ve broken your contract and now lost a reference.\u00a0 Want to get a different cell phone carrier before yours sucks?\u00a0 It\u2019s going to really cost you.\u00a0 Contracts claim to help you, but in reality, there are generally very few benefits to signing anything that restricts your free will.\u00a0 What do to instead: Find a job that does not require you to work for them and only them for a specified duration, or alternatively, offer to work for a reduced rate in exchange for not being bound to a piece of paper.\u00a0 For things like services, find out if there is a \u201cpay as you go\u201d option as can often be found with cell phones.\n\nAs you can see, by choosing not to have these things, you are also choosing to reject large portions of the status quo.\u00a0 You know what?\u00a0 That\u2019s okay.\u00a0 Not everyone needs a house, car, spouse, two kids, desk job, and a golden retriever.\u00a0 If the white picket fence isn\u2019t your dream, then why bother picking up all the trappings?\u00a0 Live your own vision, not someone else\u2019s.\u00a0 To do any less is to shortchange yourself at life.\u00a0 Do you want that?\u00a0 I doubt it.\n\nIn the interests of disclosure, here\u2019s how I stack up against my own advice:\n\n \u2022 Vehicle: None, though I am on the title of our Ural sidecar motorcycle.\u00a0 I am supremely lucky in that I am able to use Marc\u2019s car without having it be a ball and chain around my own leg.\u00a0 If I were not able to use Marc\u2019s car, I would put more effort into getting our Ural running daily, or I would find a job that I could use public transportation to get to.\n \u2022 Housing: Marc and I live in an apartment now, but prior to this and prior to Korea, I lived for a year via the storage unit/couch method I described above.\u00a0 I had minimal costs, I was able to visit people and places I had never seen before, and I got to know many of my friends far better than I had known them previously.\u00a0 In an entire year, there were only a couple nights that I had to actually sleep in my truck, and it wasn\u2019t the end of the world.\n \u2022 Debt: This is the #1 issue I still struggle with.\u00a0 It took me years to finally learn that I didn\u2019t need more stuff, and thankfully this lesson has largely stuck.\u00a0 I still have a reasonable amount of credit card debt to pay off, but it was largely accrued while I did not have a job.\u00a0 But, debt is by far the largest stone I carry, and it\u2019s pretty much the only thing that prevents me from being able to get up and go work in low-paying countries like Vietnam and Mongolia.\u00a0 I\u2019d sell my belongings, but I already did that, two years ago, and", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 332238, "pt_loc": 13916022, "pt_shuffle_idx": 36799035, "doc_index_f": 57681223, "doc_index_l": 57681223, "offset_f": 412, "offset_l": 2460, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 26, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": " to.<|endoftext|>Ryan is better at telling a story than Neil because Ryan took storytelling classes in college.<|endoftext|>Bonsai, pattern recognition and developing\u00a0taste\n\nIf you look up \u2018beginner\u2019s guide to bonsai\u2019 on the internet, you will find a plethora of resources. Perhaps the best site I\u2019ve ever seen on the subject was Harry Harrington\u2019s If you have not, I highly suggest that you read through every article in his bonsai basics section; the effort is well worth it.\n\nI will not talk about bonsai techniques in this post, or bonsai horticulture. Those topics are well covered on the internet. What I would instead like to talk about is the cultivation of artistic taste in bonsai.\n\nTaste can never be wrong.\u00a0\n\nTo argue otherwise is simply snobbery. Taste is an expression of a personal experience. Art moves us, compels us, delights, seduces, mesmerizes, whatever. It makes us feel something. My girlfriend has spoken many times of jewelry looking delectable, tasty.\n\nIndeed, this bracelet looks like candy or cake. Every time I see paintings in the museum I want to touch them, feel the movement of the artist\u2019s brushstrokes through the layers of paint. One of the most gratifying elements of painting for me is the feel of paint leaving my brush and trailing over the canvas.\n\nI have not been arrested or escorted out of a museum\u2026 Yet. I can taste the saltwater running down my nose as my head submerges and my muscles ache for the surface in this painting. Can you not?\n\nAnd don\u2019t good bonsai do that to you? Don\u2019t you want to delicately feel the bark, stroke the needles of an old white pine? Am I the only one who occasionally tastes the sap of his trees?\n\nThe point is that these trees call to us, they move us. My sensory exploration of bonsai or painting is not simply an odd appreciation of tree sap in my gin and tonic, it is an interrogation of the tree: Are you real? It is formed by an immediate disjoint between what my eyes see, the size and apparent age and the tree in front of us, and the\u00a0reality of it, so small and fit into such a small pot.\n\nBonsai display forces that ocular contradiction further. Such an old tree in such a thin pot, hovering over the air. As if someone has simply summoned a slice of the planet into this small pot.\n\nThe question is then, what gives you this experience? What makes you yearn for a tree, to feel the shari that stripes its trunk? Inevitably our first bonsai efforts are crude, fumbling, technically insufficient and perpetrated on mallsai with no hope for achieving what we see in our dreams.\n\nThis, will likely never become this:\n\nIn an appreciable, human time scale. More importantly, it would take the care of an expert to achieve these results. Mallsai are simply funky plants, they do not grant access to that experience of bonsai.\n\nNow you might say, \u201cHey Nimrod, they totally do!\u201d Which I will use as a departure point to discuss the difference between an appreciator of art and an artist. The bonsai artist is not simply concerned with his personal experience, he is attempting to influence the experiences of others. To do that, we need honest criticism about what works vs. what doesn\u2019t work. And, simply put, the elements of a mallsai\u00a0don\u2019t do any work.\n\nSo how do we figure out what works and what doesn\u2019t work?\u00a0\n\nYears ago my girlfriend put a book in my hands and twisted my arm until I read it. The book was \u201cOn Intelligence\u201d by Jeff Hawkins. I cannot recommend it enough. Rather than get his hands dirty in the biology and neuronal firing rates and such, Hawkins attempted to set out to come up with a larger, overarching theory of intelligence. His claim was that the brain is essentially a very sophisticated pattern recognition system. It takes in patterns, understands them and then synthesizes them in reality.\nI think of this as kind of a neo-platonism, with Plato\u2019s forms describing more how we see the world rather than what the world itself is. Our brain relies upon limited amounts of information to very quickly come to conclusions about the world and what it is.\n\nFrom the movement of ten points, we are able to see that it is a person walking. Now that\u2019s really remarkable for three\u00a0pounds of meat! This pattern\u00a0works, in that we are able to recognize that it shows the movement of a person walking.\n\nThis one\u2026 sort of works? If you come to it already knowing what you\u2019re looking at, perhaps you can still discern that it is a person walking, but, to the naive or uninitiated it does not appear to really be anything at all.\n\nThe same is true\u00a0of bonsai; they either work or do not.\n\nReferring back to my post about fractals, there are certainly patterns that determine if a bonsai screams \u201cTREE\u201d or does not. How do we learn about those patterns? How do we speak the language of \u201cTREE\u201d? How do we learn what screams and what mumbles? If the brain is a pattern recognition system, you must feed the machine. We have lived our lives watching people walk and inferring spatial relationships from two dimensional images. To effectively understand what works and what does not, we must look at thousands\u00a0of bonsai, but critically. We must study trees in nature, such that a drive through the woods is an inspirational experience.\n\nOne caveat: you must\u00a0learn what you are seeing and what your brain tells you that you are seeing. Your brain is a trickster, and will tell you \u201cThis is a square,\u201d when, due to perspective, what your eye sees is a rhombus. The whole thing reminds me of pre-perspective art, where you can almost feel the artist\u2019s pain as he attempts to carve space out of the picture plane.\n\nThe painter here simply did not know how to convincingly trick the eye into perceiving space.\nWe see this in bonsai as well, when a tree, for all its virtues, simply does not convince us that it is a tree! How many trident maples have you seen styled to look like a pine? They might be very nice bonsai, as this is a very nice painting (something of an understatement!!!), but they don\u2019t let us know that they are trees effectively.\nGo to shows, examine the trees in person (do not lick them though, that is too far), talk to the artists about their goals with each tree, silently assess whether those goals have been accomplished. But before all that, feed the beast. Consume bonsai and trees,\u00a0dissect them with your eyes and look far afield for the exceptions, the departures and the radicalisms\u00a0that nevertheless still work.\nMost importantly, stay hungry. Feed that strange beast that is your brain.\n\n\nCan a bonsai be a\u00a0text?\n\nWhen we say text, most of us think of typeface, individual letters. I\u2019d like to broaden that definition to include messages that are encoded by abstract symbols. So, for example hieroglyphics are a text.\n\nEven though these are a series of pictures, they still inform us as to what rites to perform for the dead, the identity of their kings, etc., etc. But let\u2019s go even further!\n\nCould the stained glass windows of a church be a text? Of course. As you walk through the galleries of a Gothic cathedral you see stained glass after stained glass picture, the light of god streaming through it, illustrating the lives of the saints, their works and histories.\n\nMore than that they give us a sequential order of prayer.\n\nThey form a cohesive narrative to follow, a hypertext of stories within stories. One acquainted with his or her\u00a0religious stories and the history of the land would be able to read these, would know the significance of these images. Each would call to mind a particular story with moral instruction. Respect the ruler who built this place. Remember your ancestors. This is what happens if you aren\u2019t Christ-like. Etc., etc.\n\nBut how abstracted can the nature of text be? Malevich was a Kiev born Russian artist who painted simply a black square as a new kind of artwork, the first painting that wasn\u2019t a painting of anything at all. Simply color that was itself.\n\nMalevich\u2019s square, while underwhelming in terms of sheer technical accomplishment, was a creature of its time, a product of the Russian revolution and WW1, it is a Russian icon that does not iconize anyone, only nothingness. We are delivered, though not spoon fed, commentary through this one, singular, abstract symbol.\n\nWhat I think that all of these examples of text illustrate is the fact that, for the signal to be transmitted successfully, one must understand how to extract that signal from the code. Without a Rosetta stone, the hieroglyphics are simply a series of pictures. Walk through Sainte Chapelle naive to Catholicism and you will simply see some pretty glass. Without a background in Russian history and modern art you might think Malevich was simply a precocious toddler.\n\nSo what do we say about trees and text?

No. I can't parse that last sentence\n\n\nOk, I'll elaborate and make it make sense.\n\n\nDoes that make sense?\n\n\nThese days, I don't use \"real\" namespaces in my id keywords.

I feel so free though, it's an amazing breath of fresh air compared to all the rigid frameworks I've used over the years. It's fun to feel like an idiot because I'm missing something fundamental, rather than feel like an idiot because I ran into another poorly specified or undocumented \"feature\" that I have to skim 3 textbooks to find, or because the I updated the framework to a new version with no breaking changes that breaks everything.\n\n\nWhen I started with ClojureScript, I can remember rocking back in my chair when I realised the compiler was only about 900 lines of code ... and I could understand most of it (with effort).

Download the re-com repo 2. change what you need to (version of clj-time) 3. lein install to put a copy into your local maven repo (~/.m2) 4. use it.\n\n\nCan I suggest asking this question on boot channel\n\n\nPerhaps @sooheon is more there, than here\n\n\nJust saw my mention, looking back at the problem petrus is having\n\n\nSo iirc, simply adding [com.andrewmcveigh/cljs-time \"0.3.10\"] as a dependency above re-com\n\n\nShould work\n\n\nTry adding that dependency, running boot show -p and checking to see the latest version is being used\n\nPetrus Theron14:07:17\n\nsweeeeet it builds now\n\n\n@mikethompson: Have you run into any problems with programs trying to dispatch handlers before they are registered? I'm getting it happening off and on during my first load, but subsequent reloads in figwheel work fine. My initial load is being fired by so I think that's the culprit.\n\n\nYou probably have a require for handler.cljs in your core.cljs?\n\n\nSo the dependency loading mechanism (provided by google closure) which \"orders\" the loading of the js at runtime, will see only that handlers.cljs has to come in before core.cljs.\n\n\nSo ... the trick is to get handlers.cljs loaded BEFORE you do your first dispatch.\n\n\nOne brute force method (which might be ugly) is to find where you are dispatching, and up the top of that namespace, require in handlers.cljs @shaun-mahood: ^^^^\n\n\n@mikethompson: Ok, I'll try that - should be pretty easy in this case, since all the dispatches are being done in one place. Thanks\n\n\nAssuming I don't run into it again I'll do up a quick wiki entry for it\n\n\nThe biggest trap is not requiring handlers.cljs at all\n\n\nAnd then the namespace doesn't get loaded at all\n\n\nAnd every dispatch fails\n\n\nI'm rebuilding my first re-frame app from scratch with re-com, amazing how much more it makes sense and better it works once I had some time playing with it\n\n\nAlways the way. Learning is just layers of the union. simple_smile I'd recommend re-reading my (overly long) readme too.\n\n\nThe other thing I ran into was with namespaced handlers, I had to dispatch them with the full namespace rather than the short form in my require statement. Confused the heck out of me for a bit.\n\n\nrequire statement? Did you mean dispatch?\n\n\nHmm. No. I can't parse that last sentence\n\n\nOk, I'll elaborate and make it make sense.\n\n\nDoes that make sense?\n\n\nThese days, I don't use \"real\" namespaces in my id keywords. I use synthetic namespaces (ones without a real matching .cljs file)\n\n\nSo i use something like this; :panel1/add-thing\n\n\nEven though there isn't really a panel1.cljs\n\n\noh, nice. I had been wondering about how to add ns\n\n\nI've just stopped aliasing my require statements and it's consistent and understandable. Considered using synthetic namespaces but figured I'd keep it consistent with my other calls as well\n\n\nEither way, namespacing handlers, subs and render functions has made it a lot easier for me to componentize things\n\n\n@roberto to use the synthetic namespaces, just call (register-handler :panel1/add-thing) instead of (register-handler ::add-thing)\n\n\nI'll try and write something up about namespaces on the wiki as well, and I think I have a good and consistent setup for using secretary that is working nicely with figwheel to add once I get it sorted out a bit better\n\n\n@shaun-mahood a write up would be great! I have been interested in how people were going about this too.\n\n\n@gadfly361: Yeah, about half the time I feel like I must be doing something wrong because it is so different from how I'm used to organizing things. I feel so free though, it's an amazing breath of fresh air compared to all the rigid frameworks I've used over the years. It's fun to feel like an idiot because I'm missing something fundamental, rather than feel like an idiot because I ran into another poorly specified or undocumented \"feature\" that I have to skim 3 textbooks to find, or because the I updated the framework to a new version with no breaking changes that breaks everything.\n\n\nWhen I started with ClojureScript, I can remember rocking back in my chair when I realised the compiler was only about 900 lines of code ... and I could understand most of it (with effort).

Or the guys that paid a dollar or less for the book and now are trying to sell it for 10 times what it\u2019s actually worth?\n\nCall it stealing all you want, but stuff like this has been going on for almost a decade now, and it\u2019s not going to stop because you\u2019re calling it stealing. How long has DC and Marvel and all their writers known that people have been doing this? Well, about as long people have bought comics, and then photocopied them for their friends to read, circa 1990 or so. But what have they done about it? Have they tried to put fail safes in their ink and images so they couldn\u2019t be scanned or photocopied? No. Have they lobbied along side the music industry to try and shut down certain sites or downloads? No. Have they done any work to find out how a book that HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED ended up being available for download for free multiple hours before comic stores sold the print copy, AND they released their digital copy? No.\n\nWhy do you think this is? To me, this is an indication that the creators and publishers are well aware of the downloading issue, and are comfortable with it existing as it does for now, because it has not taken a significant number of sales out of their pockets, and in many cases, has brought new readers and new buyers into their fold. That being said, it certainly should be an issue for them that JL #1 was available even before the release. That\u2019s wrong.

That\u2019s not the way it works in life. If i\u2019m hungry and i don\u2019t have the money and no one will feed me out of the generosity of their hearts, I don\u2019t eat. Simple.

The reality of piracy- no matter your take on it- is here to stay. The music industry made a number of interesting approaches to the issue and ended up losing the opportunity to take advantage of the digital world to iTunes and Amazon and the like. Sure, they still make money off their product, but not as much as they would have if they\u2019d spend less time suing people who were downloading and more time making a cheap alternative available digitally for the people who actually don\u2019t mind paying.\n\nThere will always be people who download things without paying for them. There will always be people who pay for cheap downloads. There will always be people who download without paying and who go out and buy the physical object. It\u2019s far more important- in my opinion- to make sure the stuff gets to the second and third group of people rather than trying to hamstring the first group.\n\nI am not unsympathetic to the plight of the comic book shop, but for the comic industry to survive and thrive it needs to reach the people who will never set foot in a comic book shop. Which means looking at things like newsstand distribution, digital sales and libraries to expand the audience.\n\nIt also wouldn\u2019t hurt if what you were paying for was more satisfying and self-contained. But that\u2019s another discussion.\n\nMarvel and DC sell the lion\u2019s share of comics. As the industry leaders they should be examining ways to capitalize on the digital world and use its strengths instead of trying to make the equivalent of online comics book stores.\n\n@Guy Fumetti\n\nYou\u2019ve made a huge leap there. Where are people taking money out of the artist\u2019s pocket? I never had any intention of listening to Joe Blow and The Music Bandits, so he\u2019ll never see my money. But then I see this free download of his, I check it out, and Bam.. what do you know. He\u2019s good. Now I might pay to go to his show, or buy an album, or etc. But before that where is the money?? No where.\n\nIf I have no intention of ever reading a DC comic, then they are never going to see my money. Is me making the decision to not buy their product taking money out of their pocket? That is your current argument right? Basically, anyone that decides NOT to buy something is therefor stealing by your definition.\n\nWe\u2019re talking about an intangible object, that was reproduced at no cost to the original producer of the product, and was then given to other people. If my buddy bought JL#1, and he didn\u2019t like it, so he gives it to me for free, is that stealing? Now, two people have read the comic, but only one paid for it. What if my buddy buys comics, then gives them to me, then I give them to someone else after I read them, then again and again and again. Only one person paid for it, only one person ever contributed to DC Comics for that issue, but by the end of the chain, hundreds of people have read it and either enjoyed it or hated it. Is that stealing? Is using comic books for their intended purpose, to read, and then share with others stealing?\n\nSo where do you draw the line? Please tell me, as I am sure you are just bubbling up with an argument\u2026\n\n@Chad \u2013 that\u2019s a great point. If the publishers/creators/LCS were not going to make any money off of that first group of people anyway (those who\u2019d download it for free, and not any other way), then it makes no sense to waste time and resources focusing on them. They\u2019re not your target audience.\n\nYour market are the people that WILL pay money for the books, in one form or another. But why focus on those who are able to and want to buy them from a shop? You already have them. You want to focus on those who don\u2019t have comic shops or means to buy physical copies.\n\nMy home town has no shop, nor is there a shop that sells comics within 300 km of me. That isn\u2019t an example, that\u2019s the reality in my hometown. Someone like me wants to buy comics, but can\u2019t, because there\u2019s no one around to sell it to me. So this digital medium is great. But then DC drops the ball and the digital copy isn\u2019t available for 8 or 9 hours AFTER the print one is. Suddenly half the world is reviewing it online. Now I\u2019m left with a choice, wait another day to download something that I\u2019ve heard is crap, or download it now for free and see for myself if it\u2019s worth spending money on. The people like me in the world are potential money to DC that they are currently losing because they\u2019re not focusing on a way to get a book in my hands or a digital comic in my ipad before I hear the product is crap.\n\n\nWow. You clearly have NO concept of copyright law or the legal precedent applied to it over the years. Maybe this is just me, but I don\u2019t usually go around shooting off at the mouth (or fingers, as the case may be) when I\u2019m utterly clueless on the topic of discussion. I wouldn\u2019t, for example, attempt to argue rocket science with a rocket scientist. I\u2019d just end up embarrassing myself, which is exactly what you\u2019re doing here.\n\nAnd you have to wait a whole eight or nine hours to get a book? The horror! You poor, deprived thing. No wonder you have to steal it instead.\n\nThe sense of entitlement is so thick you could cut it with a knife.\n\n\u201cI don\u2019t like the cost of comics, but I DESERVE to read them!\u201d \u201cPay the creators less money so I can be entertained for pennies!\u201d And that guy has the audacity to keep mentioning \u201cmorality.\u201d What a sad lot who participates here in feeble attempts to justify theft.

As the concept of RAID (redundant arrays of inexpensive disks) has shown, it can be much more cost effective to group a number of inexpensive components together than to spend much more money on one high-priced item. You can apply the same idea to your network: instead of investing in one very expensive proprietary router, why not install several redundant Linux routers made out of commodity parts and free software? This article shows how easy it is to do just that with Keepalived on Linux.\n\n\nThe problem with routing is that most client computers do it in the simplest way possible: by using a default route. Any network traffic not destined for the local network goes happily onto the gateway router, assuming that it knows how to send it along appropriately.\n\nThis makes the gateway a single point of failure for your network. If it goes down, none of your client machines can communicate with the outside world.\n\nOne answer to this is to have your client machines run a routing protocol such as RIP or OSPF. Generally this isn't done, due to the increased complexity and overhead. Thus the only practical way to make routing more robust is to fool the clients into thinking they are always communicating with one gateway router. You can use VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) to do this; the Keepalived program provides one implementation of VRRP for Linux.\n\nVRRP is an IETF protocol that allows two or more routers to act as one virtual router. According to the VRRP specification, the routers present a virtual IP address (VIP) that corresponds to a virtual MAC address (VMAC). Each router has a real hardware and IP address. Initially the master router handles the virtual IP and MAC addresses. If the master router fails, the backup then takes over the virtual addresses. The master and backup routers monitor each other with regular multicast advertisements, at a default rate of one per second.\n\nRelated Reading\n\nLinux in a Nutshell\n\nBecause Linux does not currently support VMACs, Keepalived implements only VIPs. In practice, this works fine on modern networks, although you should be aware that this can cause problems for older hardware that does not support gratuitous ARP requests.\n\nIn normal operation, the backup VRRP server monitors continually by listening for multicast advertisements from the master. If the master disappears, the backup sends a gratuitous ARP message out on the network, which says, in effect, \"I own the hardware address that the master previously owned.\" This causes all other systems on the network to start using the backup VRRP server as their gateway. This continues until the master server reappears. The key point here is that no reconfiguration is necessary on the client machines; it all happens on the servers.\n\nWhile this article covers the simple case of one master and one backup server, in reality there can be multiple backup servers for increased reliability. The VRRP protocol works on an election process: a failing master causes an election to happen, and the highest-priority backup takes over. If that backup fails, the next takes over, and so on.\n\nKeepalived isn't the only VRRP implementation for Linux; for example, there is also a VRRPd project. However, it doesn't seem to be actively maintained; the last software release for that project was in 2002. There is also an IETF overview of the other VRRP implementations.\n\nInstalling the Software\n\nKeepalived may come preinstalled on your Linux server, depending on which distribution you use. (It doesn't come with Fedora, at least up to FC3.) There have been many updates to Keepalived in the past few months, so you are probably best off downloading the latest version directly from the Keepalived web site.\n\nKeepalived installs and builds in the standard Unix way: just unpack the tarball and follow the instructions in the install file. Make sure you put the Keepalived init file in your init directory; for example, /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99keepalived.\n\nRemember that you also need to install Keepalived on both the master and backup routers. The installation is the same on all servers except for differences in the configuration file.\n\n\nThe Keepalived configuration uses a single file, /etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf. This file can be intimidating, because there are many configuration options and the documentation is a bit scattered. Keepalived includes several other health-check mechanisms, and the documentation focuses on configurations such as web server farms. Luckily, you can ignore most of those configuration options if you are just configuring VRRP. One of my main goals in writing this article is to make people aware that Keepalived works perfectly fine as just a VRRP server.\n\nAssume that your master router is at address and your backup is at Traditionally, the gateway on a network is on the .1 address, so set the VRRP virtual address to That way if your existing client configurations use a default gateway on, you won't have to change the configuration on each client machine.\n\nEdit keepalived.conf on the master so that it contains just the following:\n\nvrrp_instance VI_1 {\n state MASTER\n interface eth0\n virtual_router_id 1\n priority 100\n authentication {\n auth_type PASS\n auth_pass \n virtual_ipaddress { brd dev eth0\n\nThis first defines a new VRRP instance and calls it VI_1. If you want to run VRRP on multiple interfaces on a router, give each one a different instance name. Typical names are VI_1, VI_2, and so on, but you can name them anything you want.\n\nThe next line defines the state VRRP will be in when Keepalived starts. Because this is the master, VRRP should start in the master state so that it will control the virtual IP address.\n\nThe interface line defines which network interface this VRRP instance will operate on, so typically this is eth0 or eth1 or something similar. Keepalived works just fine with VLANs, so you can use VLAN addresses such as eth0.2 as well.\n\nThe virtual_router_id value matches up master and backup VRRP servers. All servers in a particular VRRP group (one master and one or more backup servers) should have the same vrrp_router_id.\n\nVRRP uses an election mechanism to determine who is the master in a VRRP group, and the highest priority wins. The master should have a priority at least 50 higher than that of any of the backup servers, because the priority contributes to the failover time. In this example, if you set the master priority to 100, none of the backup servers should have a priority higher than 50. Remember, I said the state setting controls the state in which the VRRP server starts up. Immediately after startup, all VRRP routers in the same group (on the same network and with the same virtual_router_id) will hold an election. The server with the highest priority wins and becomes master, even if that machine has a lower priority than a system that started in the master state.\n\nThe VRRP specification describes several authentication mechanisms. Obviously there should be some way for the VRRP servers to communicate securely, because a rogue system could create a denial of service attack on your network by overriding your real VRRP master server. Keepalived supports both the password and IPSEC Authentication Header authentication methods, but password authentication is easier for normal use due to some implementation problems with IPSEC-AH authentication. Thus in my example I set the auth_type to password (plain password) and I specify a password on the auth_pass line. Note that this is a plain-text password that goes over the network very often (at least once per second at the standard advertisement interval), so this is really not a strong security measure.\n\nFinally, the file sets the virtual router address in the virtual_ipaddress section. As I mentioned earlier, it probably makes sense to set your virtual IP address (VIP) to whatever your existing gateway was using, to minimize client configuration changes. You also have to specify the device this address is on. This should match the value of the interface setting above.\n\nYou can specify", "base_doc": " it is definitely at night (usually after everyone goes to bed).\n\nDo you enjoy your art for yourself or do you give it away?

However, you may not know what to put on avocado toast other than the fatty fruit itself. So if you want to kick it up a notch you\u2019ll ask, what are the best avocado toast toppings?\u00a0\n\nThe best avocado toast toppings are light and healthy with crisp, fresh, and acidic flavors that compliment fatty avocados. It\u2019s a great idea to add as much nutrition as possible by topping avocado toast with protein, fiber, and even more healthy fat.\u00a0\n\nFoods like tomatoes, pickled onions, and hemp hearts bring on the flavor and texture while offering health benefits.\u00a0\n\nAvocado toast is a compliment to any meal or snack time. The meal choice is beneficial because you can add lots of nutrition if you add the right toppings.\n\nLuckily for you, we\u2019ve created a list for you to find the best avocado toast toppings. You\u2019ll find something to use whether you\u2019re trying to lose weight, are vegan, or simply want to know how to eat avocado for breakfast.\u00a0\n\nIs avocado toast healthy?\n\nAvocado toast is healthy when you consider the nutrients you get from eating healthy grains and avocado. However, it\u2019s easy to overindulge and take in lots of calories if you\u2019re not careful about your choices.\u00a0\n\nHealthy whole grain bread can fill you with fiber, but make the wrong choice and you can be filling yourself up with carbs and sugar with little nutritional value. Start with a healthy choice of bread and you\u2019re off to a good start.\u00a0\n\nThe truth is you can put an entire breakfast or lunch on avocado toast by choosing bacon, eggs, lunchmeat, and cheese. Heavy toppings should be used sparingly or you\u2019ll end up with a sandwich, not toast. If you keep piling on the toppings that\u2019s okay too. To keep it light, sprinkle healthy small bites of flavor and nutrition on top.\u00a0\n\nWhen choosing your toppings try to stay away from added sugar and empty carbs. Make choices that complement the fatty avocado in taste and nutrition and you can have healthy avocado toast.\u00a0\n\nWhat toppings can you put on avocado toast?\n\nThe best toppings to put on avocado toast will be acidic, fresh, and full of protein. Nourishing options like hemp seeds, fresh greens, and tomatoes will give avocado toast balance in flavor and nutrition.\n\nWhen it comes down to it you can put any topping you want on avocado toast, but the best options will naturally offer balance. Certain combinations like fatty and fresh, salty and sweet, savory and smoky work well together. Mix and match this list of toppings to create your perfect healthy blend.\n\nHemp Hearts\n\nThe best topping will always be hemp hearts, they work well with so many flavors. If all you\u2019re working with is avocado then adding hemp hearts will make a big impact. Adding hemp hearts will give texture to the creamy and savory flavor of your avocado toast.\u00a0\n\nHemp hearts will also give the fatty dish more protein. With just a sprinkle you\u2019ll get a nutty flavor, more healthy fat, and protein. Hemp hearts will make your avocado toast complete with a simple shake.\u00a0\n\n\n\nHemp Oil\u00a0\n\nWhen you add different toppings to toast like fresh greens and tomatoes, to add more flavor you\u2019ll want to dress them. A light and flavorful oil that offers nutrition is important to choose for avocado toast. Drizzle your toast with a little hemp oil, salt, and pepper to get more flavor while adding essential omega fatty acids.\u00a0\n\nYou can always use the different varieties such as Mediterranean and garlic to make a dressing to drizzle with. Use the benefits of hemp oil to complete the meal and give your toast a big fresh flavor without adding too many toppings.\u00a0\u00a0\n\nApple Cider Vinegar\n\nApple cider vinegar is one of the most popular antioxidant-rich kinds of vinegar you can choose. You can shake a bit on top, mix with oil, or blend it right in your avocado mash. Mix ACV with a little hemp oil and you\u2019ll have a dressing without even trying.\u00a0\n\nIf you drizzle ACV on your avocado toast with hemp oil your creamy fatty toast will gain a bit of acid and zing. All you\u2019ll need is a fresh bite to bring it all together.\u00a0\n\n\nTomatoes are low in calories, rich in antioxidants, and taste great with avocados. They can give you a bit of sweetness or savoriness depending on how you dress them. The acidic fruit works well to bring out the brightness in the fatty avocado.\u00a0\n\nDon\u2019t feel limited to choosing classic red tomatoes on the vine. If you\u2019re feeling adventurous there are plenty of heirloom tomatoes that add color and more nutrients. Make your toast beautiful with the diversity of antioxidants in each color of purple, orange, or yellow. Eating your colors is a fun and easy way to get the nutrients you need without thinking about it.\u00a0\n\nFresh Greens and Herbs\u00a0\n\nFresh leafy greens offer a lot of texture, vitamins, and fiber. It can make your toast a complete nutritional meal while cleansing your palate in every bite. Each green brings its own kind of flavor to accompany its benefits.\u00a0\n\nChoosing the right green depends on what flavor you\u2019re in the mood for, peppery or bright. Remember most fresh greens can also be dried and you can use herbs and spices as well. Any of the following greens and herbs can be sprinkled right on top of your avocado toast", "base_doc": " ennui would be Prime Emotion.

I guess just like in \"real\" conversations, there are all kinds of characters.\n\n\nBD said...\n\nSometimes the writing style appeals to me -- humor, sarcasm etc. And there are theme based blogs -- political, military, movies. But one thing that cuts across all such categories is the \"personal touch\".\n\nBloggers stand for freedom of thought and expression. They may be biased, but are still free from external pressures(writing incognito does help in achieving that). During the recent presidential elections, \"bloggers\" were hired by both democrats and republicans. The work they produced in that exercise, doesn't qualify as blogs in my opinion -- not even a political blog.\n\nRegarding blogging etiquettes, yes, I think these are important. Honesty of opinion, and speaking from the heart, are things that make certain blogs stand out from the rest. Sincere response to comments also helps give a feel to readers that the blog is alive. I think these are the things that distinguish blogs from a general website or an e-book.<|endoftext|>The Best Avocado Toast Toppings\n\nThe Best Avocado Toast Toppings\n\nIf you love avocado then you know that avocado toast is the best thing to happen since, well, sliced bread. However, you may not know what to put on avocado toast other than the fatty fruit itself. So if you want to kick it up a notch you\u2019ll ask, what are the best avocado toast toppings?\u00a0\n\nThe best avocado toast toppings are light and healthy with crisp, fresh, and acidic flavors that compliment fatty avocados. It\u2019s a great idea to add as much nutrition as possible by topping avocado toast with protein, fiber, and even more healthy fat.\u00a0\n\nFoods like tomatoes, pickled onions, and hemp hearts bring on the flavor and texture while offering health benefits.\u00a0\n\nAvocado toast is a compliment to any meal or snack time. The meal choice is beneficial because you can add lots of nutrition if you add the right toppings.\n\nLuckily for you, we\u2019ve created a list for you to find the best avocado toast toppings. You\u2019ll find something to use whether you\u2019re trying to lose weight, are vegan, or simply want to know how to eat avocado for breakfast.\u00a0\n\nIs avocado toast healthy?\n\nAvocado toast is healthy when you consider the nutrients you get from eating healthy grains and avocado. However, it\u2019s easy to overindulge and take in lots of calories if you\u2019re not careful about your choices.\u00a0\n\nHealthy whole grain bread can fill you with fiber, but make the wrong choice and you can be filling yourself up with carbs and sugar with little nutritional value. Start with a healthy choice of bread and you\u2019re off to a good start.\u00a0\n\nThe truth is you can put an entire breakfast or lunch on avocado toast by choosing bacon, eggs, lunchmeat, and cheese. Heavy toppings should be used sparingly or you\u2019ll end up with a sandwich, not toast. If you keep piling on the toppings that\u2019s okay too. To keep it light, sprinkle healthy small bites of flavor and nutrition on top.\u00a0\n\nWhen choosing your toppings try to stay away from added sugar and empty carbs. Make choices that complement the fatty avocado in taste and nutrition and you can have healthy avocado toast.\u00a0\n\nWhat toppings can you put on avocado toast?\n\nThe best toppings to put on avocado toast will be acidic, fresh, and full of protein. Nourishing options like hemp seeds, fresh greens, and tomatoes will give avocado toast balance in flavor and nutrition.\n\nWhen it comes down to it you can put any topping you want on avocado toast, but the best options will naturally offer balance. Certain combinations like fatty and fresh, salty and sweet, savory and smoky work well together. Mix and match this list of toppings to create your perfect healthy blend.\n\nHemp Hearts\n\nThe best topping will always be hemp hearts, they work well with so many flavors. If all you\u2019re working with is avocado then adding hemp hearts will make a big impact. Adding hemp hearts will give texture to the creamy and savory flavor of your avocado toast.\u00a0\n\nHemp hearts will also give the fatty dish more protein. With just a sprinkle you\u2019ll get a nutty flavor, more healthy fat, and protein. Hemp hearts will make your avocado toast complete with a simple shake.\u00a0\n\n\n\nHemp Oil\u00a0\n\nWhen you add different toppings to toast like fresh greens and tomatoes, to add more flavor you\u2019ll want to dress them. A light and flavorful oil that offers nutrition is important to choose for avocado toast. Drizzle your toast with a little hemp oil, salt, and pepper to get more flavor while adding essential omega fatty acids.\u00a0\n\nYou can always use the different varieties such as Mediterranean and garlic to make a dressing to drizzle with. Use the benefits of hemp oil to complete the meal and give your toast a big fresh flavor without adding too many toppings.\u00a0\u00a0\n\nApple Cider Vinegar\n\nApple cider vinegar is one of the most popular antioxidant-rich kinds of vinegar you can choose. You can shake a bit on top, mix with oil, or blend it right in your avocado mash. Mix ACV with a little hemp oil and you\u2019ll have a dressing without even trying.\u00a0\n\nIf you drizzle ACV on your avocado toast with hemp oil your creamy fatty toast will gain a bit of acid and zing. All you\u2019ll need is a fresh bite to bring it all together.\u00a0\n\n\nTomatoes are low in calories, rich in antioxidants, and taste great with avocados. They can give you a bit of sweetness or savoriness depending on how you dress them. The acidic fruit works well to bring out the brightness in the fatty avocado.\u00a0\n\nDon\u2019t feel limited to choosing classic red tomatoes on the vine. If you\u2019re feeling adventurous there are plenty of heirloom tomatoes that add color and more nutrients. Make your toast beautiful with the diversity of antioxidants in each color of purple, orange, or yellow. Eating your colors is a fun and easy way to get the nutrients you need without thinking about it.\u00a0\n\nFresh Greens and Herbs\u00a0\n\nFresh leafy greens offer a lot of texture, vitamins, and fiber. It can make your toast a complete nutritional meal while cleansing your palate in every bite. Each green brings its own kind of flavor to accompany its benefits.\u00a0\n\nChoosing the right green depends on what flavor you\u2019re in the mood for, peppery or bright. Remember most fresh greens can also be dried and you can use herbs and spices as well. Any of the following greens and herbs can be sprinkled right on top of your avocado toast to double down on the bright green and nutrients in avocado.\u00a0\n\n\nBasil is an", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 340418, "pt_loc": 26525972, "pt_shuffle_idx": 146959928, "doc_index_f": 230354223, "doc_index_l": 230354224, "offset_f": 251, "offset_l": 1247, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 20, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [801, 1248]} -{"pt_doc": " Icelandic https://estaaanvraagvs08530.answerblogs.com/13343762/the-ideal-journey-holiday-seasons-in-europe\n\n\n No HTML\n\n HTML is disabled\n\nWho Upvoted this Story<|endoftext|>Deep in the Sauce\nIt's about sauce, food, & everything else.\nRoad to our First KCBS Competition: Aftermath PDF Print E-mail\nWritten by Tom \u00a0\u00a0\n\n\"How did you do?\" It's an innocent enough question. Heck, we ask it of everyone we know all the time. Usually the response one can use for something like this is a simple \"good\", \"great\", \"bad\", or \"We sucked\". The questioner responds accordingly in either congratulations or condolonces and then you move on. But, what happens when the answer isn't so simple? In my case, with the recent competition we were at, the answer wasn't so simple. Yes, it could be simple. I could just say \"Good! We took first in sauce.\" But, that wouldn't really be the whole truth. Although BBQ Sauce is our bread-and-butter, the competition wasn't really about the sauce, it was about BBQ as a whole. When you look at it as that, by points alone one could say, we sucked. However, I don't really feel that way. I actually feel really good about the whole thing. How is that possible? First off, it was a great experience in general. There was a lot of work involved but, the feeling of accomplishment upon getting everything turned in on time was fantastic! Second, the scores we received were not brutally horrible and actually made me feel pretty good about what we turned in. Third, it was our first time out, we didn't walk in any of the major categories but, we didn't come in last either. And, fourth, it was something that me and my wife were able to take part in together.\n\"But, you won a trophy, isn't that awesome?\" Winning another trophy is always great but, it's about more than the trophies. We've won trophies in the past and the moment they announce you are the winner is truly spectacular but, after that, it's over and the trophy is just a reminder of what happened. I look upon our past trophies and remember what it fealt like at the moment the announcement was made but, I refuse to sit around and get lost in those past moments. Moving onto the next moment is the most important part to me. You are only as good as you are today. Yesterday may have been a great day but, proving yourself for today is what matters. To me, trophies are for other people to look at more so than the people who won them to look at. When it comes to this\u00a0latest trophy, it's a real mixed bag of emotions. We did win it in a field that consisited of some other sauce makers or people attempting to become sauce makers. They might not have national brands but, there were some who entered who make their living selling their sauces. Many friends and family were not surprised that we won in the sauce category. I think even some of the competitors thought it rather unremarkable that we won. Afterall, making BBQ Sauce is what we do. And, according to them, making the best in BBQ Sauce is what we excell at. There is also a sort of \"bitter pill\" aspect to this current trophy as well. We\u00a0won in a category that wasn't considered one of the major ones for the event and didn't manage to even place in any of those. It's actually kind of strange to have people go from being excited one second to wanting to be excited the next. You tell them about it, they think it's awsome but, then you tell them you didn't get anything else and, you can see that part of them wants to still shout and cheer but, another part is really confused. It's the \"You got first but, you didn't win?\" confusion scenario. So, yep, getting a trophy for sauce making is awesome but, it doesn't mean you really won.\n\"What do you think about your scores?\" This is one of those questions that will cause a person to go slowly insane. Some people are obsessed with the scores they get at competitions and try to analyze every little number. In our case I have two thoughts. First, I think our scores were very fair for what we turned in. I will admit that it\u00a0was not the best BBQ I have ever made but, that even on my bad day it'll come out above average of most. Also, being our first competition, our box presentation was decent but, it needs to be alot better to get the higher scores. And, second, I think when you are looking at scores, you have to look at them in a very general, trend sort of way. For us it was that the flavor and tenderness were above average in general but, not spectacular and that, overall, our presentations aren't bad but need to be a bit better. All and all, when it comes to the scoring, you have to be really turning in some spectacular stuff to earn the big victories. In our case, above average just was not good enough. Specially when you look at some of the great teams we were competing against.\n\"Would you do it again?\" I love this question! Heck yeah! It was a great experience. Besides, I know the things we need to work on and what to better expect next time. Besides, the way I look at it, we can only get better and, considering we weren't that bad to begin with, that is an awesome thing to think about. I always want to be better and improve. I know our time will come when it all comes together perfectly and we do take that Grand Champion title.\nFor those who have been following along with this whole process, you'll probably remember me talking about what it's like the day after a huge event. It was pretty much the way I described it. The whole world resets itself back to normal and you're left wondering if what just happened the day before really happened or didn't. It was great to get back home to our kids and spend the day with them. We actually went fishing! Haven't done that in a year!\n\nWhat can I say? The kiddie pole is the lucky one.\nThis is what it's really about though. Coming home and spending time with family. Enjoy the moment while you can. Just like that moment of award or victory. It only lasts for a minute but, the feeling of being in that moment lasts forever.\nThanks for following along!\n\nAs a side note, my oldest has claimed the trophy as \"ours\" and thinks we should build a shelf for it and keep it at home. Think she's more proud of us than we are.<|endoftext|>Kenneth bought cheaper groceries than Hunter did because Kenneth had a worse job and pay.<|endoftext|>Food and Mood\n\nApr 20, 2021\n\nThis article will look at some of the connections between food, anxiety and depression.

The result of using plausibility as one\u2019s rule of thumb is a portfolio of Jesuses who look just like the artists who sketched him. Don\u2019t say Perrin didn\u2019t warn you. Oh yeah, K\u00e4semann did, too:\n\nThe inevitable consequence is a\u00a0bewildering confusion of allegedly trustworthy portraits of Jesus:\u00a0now he appears as a rabbi, now as a teacher of wisdom, now as a\u00a0prophet; or again, as the man who thought of himself as the Son of\u00a0Man or the Suffering Servant, who stood for an apocalyptic or a\u00a0realized eschatology: or finally, as some sort of a mixture of all\u00a0these. (K\u00e4semann, p. 35)\n\nPerrin\u2019s use of the CoD\n\nClearly neither Bird nor Ehrman understands the CoD, so maybe we should consult with someone who did: Norman Perrin. First of all, Perrin explained why we need criteria of authenticity. Simply put, it\u2019s because the material in the NT is unreliable and, hence, the burden of proof is on anyone who would assert that a given element in the tradition is authentic.\n\n\nBriefly, here are some reasons Perrin considered the NT tradition historically unreliable.\n\n \u2022 The evangelists\u2019 primary concern was not preserving historical data. Every pericope that appears in the gospel can be shown to have a purpose for the early church.\n \u2022 The early Christian community did not differentiate between the risen Christ and the historical Jesus.\n \u2022 We know that the gospels contain a great deal of \u201cteaching\u00a0ascribed to Jesus and yet, in fact, [it comes] from the early Church\u201d (Perrin, p. 16)\n \u2022 The evangelists show a remarkable degree of freedom in how they changed or added to the traditions they received.\n \u2022 Even Mark, which most scholars believe is the earliest gospel, shows clear signs of theological motivation.\n\nConservative scholars push back against this bleak assessment. Bird quotes\u00a0Sean Freyne:\n\n\u201cEither we accept that the early followers of Jesus had some interest in and memory of the historical figure of Jesus as they began to proclaim the good news about him, or we must abandon the process entirely.\u201d (Bird, Evans, et al.,\u00a0p. 32)\n\nWe\u2019ve seen similar protestations from Bauckham, Dunn, and the usual suspects. But Perrin explained that against the argument that there were eyewitnesses as well as people who wanted to keep that pristine memory alive:\n\nThis argument would be\u00a0effective if we could show that these men, unlike Paul and Luke, did feel\u00a0that it was important to maintain the separate identity of the historical\u00a0Jesus, and hence to preserve the Jesus tradition from changes under the\u00a0influence of the risen Lord. It has always to be remembered that no one\u00a0in the early Church regarded the changes going on in the synoptic-type\u00a0Jesus-tradition as due to anything other than the influence of the risen\u00a0Lord. The only man whose work we can trace in the synoptic tradition\u00a0who ever concerns himself to remain reasonably true, in our sense of\u00a0that word, to his sources is Luke, and even he does not hesitate to make\u00a0very considerable changes indeed when he has theological reasons for\u00a0doing so. (Perrin, p. 28, emphasis mine)\n\nBurden of Proof\n\nGiven the nature of the tradition, Perrin admitted that if he wanted to claim any tradition is authentic, the burden was on him. He recognized the challenge and accepted it.\n\nWhat next? Well, clearly we have to ask ourselves\u00a0the question as to whether this\u00a0saying should now be attributed to the early Church or to the historical\u00a0Jesus, and the nature of the synoptic tradition is such that the burden of\u00a0proof will be upon the claim to authenticity. This means in effect that we\u00a0must look for indications that the saying does not come from the\u00a0Church, but from the historical Jesus. Actually, our task is even more\u00a0complex than this, because the early Church and the New Testament are\u00a0indebted at very many points to ancient Judaism.\n\nTherefore, if we are to\u00a0ascribe a saying to Jesus, and accept the burden of proof laid upon us,\u00a0we must he able to show that the saying comes neither from the Church\u00a0nor from ancient Judaism.

They note that the CoD had its roots with skeptical German form critics, and you know how\u00a0they are.\n 2. They fight back against the charge that the gospels are unreliable by asserting that they are.\n 3.

I have exhumed the body of the CoD only to bury it again, because there truly are fundamental issues that inhibit its effective use. Specifically, it assumes that we know more about first-century Judaism than we really do, and that we can confidently state what would and would not fall within its boundaries.\n\nHere\u2019s how Morna Hooker put it in her 1970 essay, \u201cChristology and Methodology.\u201d\n\nSince\u00a0the method proceeds by eliminating ideas found in Judaism and early\u00a0Christianity, it presupposes a fairly confident knowledge of both areas. To\u00a0what extent is this justified?\u00a0Use of this criterion seems to assume that we are dealing with two known factors (Judaism and Early Christianity) and one unknown \u2014 Jesus; it would perhaps be a fairer statement of the situation to say that we are dealing with three unknowns, and that our knowledge of the other two is quite as tenuous and indirect as our", "base_doc": "errin had already anticipated Bird\u2019s beloved criterion and explained why it\u2019s a dead end. The result of using plausibility as one\u2019s rule of thumb is a portfolio of Jesuses who look just like the artists who sketched him. Don\u2019t say Perrin didn\u2019t warn you. Oh yeah, K\u00e4semann did, too:\n\nThe inevitable consequence is a\u00a0bewildering confusion of allegedly trustworthy portraits of Jesus:\u00a0now he appears as a rabbi, now as a teacher of wisdom, now as a\u00a0prophet; or again, as the man who thought of himself as the Son of\u00a0Man or the Suffering Servant, who stood for an apocalyptic or a\u00a0realized eschatology: or finally, as some sort of a mixture of all\u00a0these. (K\u00e4semann, p. 35)\n\nPerrin\u2019s use of the CoD\n\nClearly neither Bird nor Ehrman understands the CoD, so maybe we should consult with someone who did: Norman Perrin. First of all, Perrin explained why we need criteria of authenticity. Simply put, it\u2019s because the material in the NT is unreliable and, hence, the burden of proof is on anyone who would assert that a given element in the tradition is authentic.\n\n\nBriefly, here are some reasons Perrin considered the NT tradition historically unreliable.\n\n \u2022 The evangelists\u2019 primary concern was not preserving historical data. Every pericope that appears in the gospel can be shown to have a purpose for the early church.\n \u2022 The early Christian community did not differentiate between the risen Christ and the historical Jesus.\n \u2022 We know that the gospels contain a great deal of \u201cteaching\u00a0ascribed to Jesus and yet, in fact, [it comes] from the early Church\u201d (Perrin, p. 16)\n \u2022 The evangelists show a remarkable degree of freedom in how they changed or added to the traditions they received.\n \u2022 Even Mark, which most scholars believe is the earliest gospel, shows clear signs of theological motivation.\n\nConservative scholars push back against this bleak assessment. Bird quotes\u00a0Sean Freyne:\n\n\u201cEither we accept that the early followers of Jesus had some interest in and memory of the historical figure of Jesus as they began to proclaim the good news about him, or we must abandon the process entirely.\u201d (Bird, Evans, et al.,\u00a0p. 32)\n\nWe\u2019ve seen similar protestations from Bauckham, Dunn, and the usual suspects. But Perrin explained that against the argument that there were eyewitnesses as well as people who wanted to keep that pristine memory alive:\n\nThis argument would be\u00a0effective if we could show that these men, unlike Paul and Luke, did feel\u00a0that it was important to maintain the separate identity of the historical\u00a0Jesus, and hence to preserve the Jesus tradition from changes under the\u00a0influence of the risen Lord. It has always to be remembered that no one\u00a0in the early Church regarded the changes going on in the synoptic-type\u00a0Jesus-tradition as due to anything other than the influence of the risen\u00a0Lord. The only man whose work we can trace in the synoptic tradition\u00a0who ever concerns himself to remain reasonably true, in our sense of\u00a0that word, to his sources is Luke, and even he does not hesitate to make\u00a0very considerable changes indeed when he has theological reasons for\u00a0doing so. (Perrin, p. 28, emphasis mine)\n\nBurden of Proof\n\nGiven the nature of the tradition, Perrin admitted that if he wanted to claim any tradition is authentic, the burden was on him. He recognized the challenge and accepted it.\n\nWhat next? Well, clearly we have to ask ourselves\u00a0the question as to whether this\u00a0saying should now be attributed to the early Church or to the historical\u00a0Jesus, and the nature of the synoptic tradition is such that the burden of\u00a0proof will be upon the claim to authenticity. This means in effect that we\u00a0must look for indications that the saying does not come from the\u00a0Church, but from the historical Jesus. Actually, our task is even more\u00a0complex than this, because the early Church and the New Testament are\u00a0indebted at very many points to ancient Judaism.\n\nTherefore, if we are to\u00a0ascribe a saying to Jesus, and accept the burden of proof laid upon us,\u00a0we must he able to show that the saying comes neither from the Church\u00a0nor from ancient Judaism. This seems to many to be too much to ask,\u00a0but nothing less will do justice to the challenge of the burden of the\u00a0proof. There is no other way to reasonable certainty that we have\u00a0reached the historical Jesus.\u00a0(Perrin, p. 39, bold emphasis and reformatting mine)\n\nWe should note here that many of today\u2019s conservative scholars deny the unreliability of the tradition and the burden of proof.

There\u2019s a really strong tendency towards\u201dgarden blossom designs\u201d, kind of a natural blossom patch and wildflower look.\n\nSunflowers The annual sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is the blossom most people envision when they think about a sunflower. If you don\u2019t utilize your sunflowers as new flowers, hang them upside down and dry them and use them on your blossom fall arrangements. In your garden, they can be cut until the blossoms die off and dried within a couple of weeks. For design jobs, it\u2019s important to leave a sufficient amount of stalk.\n\nSunflowers are Beautiful in a tall vase, combined with your favorite greens, maybe a small boxwood and eucalyptus.

Because sunflowers are large and showy, and because they are hearty with thick stalks that stand up in a vase, and that is the reason they are ideal for this kind of arrangement.\n\nSome varieties of Sunflowers have one enormous head or blossom. Other large-headed varieties/ have a few considerably smaller heads that form on branches. Some varieties have several heads. Miniature sunflowers make fresh blossoms also. Talk to your clients.

This isn\u2019t an ancient riddle; it\u2019s a real concern that security experts have discovered in Google\u2019s newly released Pixel phone.\n\nBy activating the \"OK Google\" Trusted Voice feature to unlock the Pixel, consumers could be setting themselves up for a cyberattack. On the other hand, the vulnerability is mild, and the phone even warns you during setup, so consumers will have to use their own discretion on this one.\n\nSteve Ragan wrote about the flaw at the Salted Hash security news blog, reminding users that the Trusted Voice flaw is not a new one. Here\u2019s how it works: the Pixel, like all Android phones, offers a lock screen. You can use a password, a PIN, a pattern or your voice to unlock your mobile device. Voice unlocks are not as widely available as the other three, but the Pixel is hardly the first phone to make use of it.\n\nMORE: What to Do After a Data Breach\n\nThe problems here are twofold. First, unlocking the Pixel with your voice means that someone else can accomplish the same thing with a recording. While it would admittedly take a bit of social engineering to trick someone into saying \"OK\" and \"Google,\" editing those two clips together into a short audio file would be trivial. A truly savvy user could even approximate a person\u2019s voice with digital trickery. Simply playing this recording in front of the Pixel would bypass a user\u2019s voice lock.\n\nSecond \u2014 and this is arguably the more important risk \u2014 Trusted Voice comes enabled by default in the Pixel. Previous Android handsets that offered this functionality hid it away within the Settings and let users turn it on or off at their own discretion. This time around, Trusted Voice is a prominent part of the phone\u2019s setup process. While users can indeed disable it during setup, Ragan theorizes that most, in their eagerness to simply get the phone up and running, won\u2019t read any caveats carefully and simply activate the feature.\n\nThe good news is that if you activated Trusted Voice on your Pixel and would rather disable it, the fix is incredibly simple. Simply access the Settings menu, select Voice and disable \"OK Google\" detection. Now, you\u2019ll have to unlock your phone with a PIN or password; more cumbersome, perhaps, but also more secure.\n\nGoogle even mentions during the setup process that Trusted Voice is \"less secure\" than other alternatives. You can\u2019t say the company didn\u2019t warn you (although you can say that it didn\u2019t warn you very well).\n\nOn the other hand, for this vulnerability to yield any real fruit for an attacker, a lot of disparate variables would have to fall into place. An attacker would have to know you personally, have physical access to your phone, record your voice with high-quality equipment and make you say two specific (admittedly somewhat common) words. As long as you\u2019re careful with your phone and have no dire enemies in your personal life, you can probably leave Trusted Voice on without any ill effect.<|endoftext|>Illuminating Illuminate, with gratitude\n\nMy weekend was filled with talent, naturally gifted performing artists, dancers and musicians alike, who elevated the Illuminate Talent Search to such a lofty place.\n\nOne of the standouts has to be young Gavin Camara. \u00a0Only 9 years old, with his trusty ukelele in hand, he inspired a standing ovation after his final round performance. \u00a0", "base_doc": "ared to the 50\u201350 embouchure).\n\nSpecial effects\n\nCostumed Sousaphone player, New Orleans, Mardi Gras Day 2005\n\nIn large marching bands of the United States, the bell is often covered with a tight fitting cloth, called a sock, which enables the sousaphone section to spell out the school's name, initials, or mascot.\u00a0The Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band\u00a0T\u00f6\u00f6bz! have a tradition of painting the front surface of their Sousaphone bells with a variety of images.\n\nSousaphone players are also known to perform the 'flaming tubas' in which flash paper is ignited in the bell, thus making it appear as if the musician is breathing fire.\u00a0David Silverman\u00a0(AKA\u00a0Tubatron\u00a0) developed a propane powered flaming Sousaphone with a trigger valve to control an array of flame jets across the top of the bell of his horn.

While it would admittedly take a bit of social engineering to trick someone into saying \"OK\" and \"Google,\" editing those two clips together into a short audio file would be trivial. A truly savvy user could even approximate a person\u2019s voice with digital trickery. Simply playing this recording in front of the Pixel would bypass a user\u2019s voice lock.\n\nSecond \u2014 and this is arguably the more important risk \u2014 Trusted Voice comes enabled by default in the Pixel. Previous Android handsets that offered this functionality hid it away within the Settings and let users turn it on or off at their own discretion. This time around, Trusted Voice is a prominent part of the phone\u2019s setup process. While users can indeed disable it during setup, Ragan theorizes that most, in their eagerness to simply get the phone up and running, won\u2019t read any caveats carefully and simply activate the feature.\n\nThe good news is that if you activated Trusted Voice on your Pixel and would rather disable it, the fix is incredibly simple. Simply access the Settings menu, select Voice and disable \"OK Google\" detection. Now, you\u2019ll have to unlock your phone with a PIN or password; more cumbersome, perhaps, but also more secure.\n\nGoogle even mentions during the setup process that Trusted Voice is \"less secure\" than other alternatives. You can\u2019t say the company didn\u2019t warn you (although you can say that it didn\u2019t warn you very well).\n\nOn the other hand, for this vulnerability to yield any real fruit for an attacker, a lot of disparate variables would have to fall into place. An attacker would have to know you personally, have physical access to your phone, record your voice with high-quality equipment and make you say two specific (admittedly somewhat common) words. As long as you\u2019re careful with your phone and have no dire enemies in your personal life, you can probably leave Trusted Voice on without any ill effect.<|endoftext|>Illuminating Illuminate, with gratitude\n\nMy weekend was filled with talent, naturally gifted performing artists, dancers and musicians alike, who elevated the Illuminate Talent Search to such a lofty place.\n\nOne of the standouts has to be young Gavin Camara. \u00a0Only 9 years old, with his trusty ukelele in hand, he inspired a standing ovation after his final round performance. \u00a0In all my years of coordinating and judging these talent contest events, I hadn't seen that happen. \u00a0Watch", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 345326, "pt_loc": 25236463, "pt_shuffle_idx": 65608109, "doc_index_f": 102857752, "doc_index_l": 102857756, "offset_f": 2049, "offset_l": 113, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 23, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [615, 522, 122, 676, 114]} -{"pt_doc": " daily dose of prioritizing.\n\nwriting narrative essay how to find email password on iphone x\n\nEssay words number\n\nNotice how the author custom written dissertations is to <&rorganize yourself, immediately.

The end result of that research is a few conclusions which bother the hell out of some instructors.\u00a0\n\nFor example, I am convinced any marksmanship technique can only work effectively if training is conducted in a practical, stressful environment. \u00a0\n\nIn other words, I long ago gave up arguing over Weaver versus Isosceles stance because if you are shooting from any formal \u201cstance\u201d you\u2019re simply not being practical. You should be shooting on the move and from awkward positions, the way gunfights actually occur.\n\nIn the course of my constant search for learning, some \u201cWow!\u201d moments occasionally occur. \u00a0Recently, I had two such incidents related to me at training seminars, one here at home in Illinois and another not far from Seattle, Washington.\u00a0\n\nIn the first, I was told of an officer confronted by an adversary who fired in the officer\u2019s general direction. The officer, with his sidearm already drawn, dove for nearby cover, throwing his pistol ahead of him to the cover point. Wow! \u00a0\n\nIn the second incident, another officer (with a pistol in hand) gained access to his rifle in a tense situation and instead of holstering the sidearm, threw it to the ground. \u00a0\n\nWow, again! \u00a0\n\nAt both seminars, I was supposed to be the \u201cexpert\u201d firearms instructor in the room, but had to admit I\u2019d never heard of an officer deliberately throwing down a sidearm.\u00a0\n\nYet, two geographically separated officers had done just that.\n\nI discussed these unusual incidents over lunch at another seminar, asking the table full of trainers for their thoughts. Sergeant Jay Stachowiak, of the LaSalle County (Ill.) Sheriff\u2019s Office, stopped eating long enough to offer what might be the root cause of the two sidearm throw downs \u2026 video games. \u00a0\n\nSince my computer gaming experience is pretty much limited to Minesweeper and Solitaire, Jay explained that many of the \u201cwarfare\u201d games only allow a player to have one weapon in their hand at a time. If you want to grab a more effective \u201cbattlefield pickup\u201d weapon on the cyber battlefield, you must first drop your current weapon. \u00a0\n\n\nWe already know computer games can be highly effective training simulators. The military uses computer simulators extensively and every recent active shooter/mass murderer we know of, in the U.S. and abroad, has been an avid player of some sort of \u201cshooting\u201d computer game. \u00a0\n\nAdam Lanza was simply the latest in this series who trained himself to murder in the cyber world before transferring those skills to the real world.\n\nCould our two cops who threw down their sidearm have unwittingly trained themselves in such a response while playing \u201cCall of Duty\u201d or \u201cGhost Recon?\u201d \u00a0\n\n\nYears ago I discovered \u2014 when examining police agency shooting records \u2014 that negligent discharges in the field often outnumber the incidents where officers deliberately fired at armed adversaries. An article I wrote here in 2007 discusses negligent discharge causes and cures. \u00a0\n\nIt seems obvious we must include de-escalation as a part of our sidearm training cycle. In other words, teaching an officer when to holster and how to holster efficiently is an important aspect of training a police gunfighter.\n\nThere are several circumstances where an officer should holster a drawn sidearm: \u00a0Before putting their hands on a suspect to search and/or apply restraints, to transition to a less lethal weapon (TASER, OC spray, impact weapon), and when engaging in violent physical exertion like jumping a ditch, climbing a fence or scrambling up a steep slope. \u00a0\n\nAn important aspect of holstering during a high-risk event is to ensure the weapon will remain holstered. Once you clear that chain-link barrier in a move T.J. Hooker would admire, it\u2019s nice to still have your sidearm with you.\u00a0\n\nSo, you should choose a holster that automatically secures the pistol, like a Blackhawk Serpa,\u00a0or one that can be very quickly secured, like a Safariland ALS (automatic locking system). There are other brands/models that fill our need for simple security, but those are two of the most common models I see in my area.\n\nIf some officers are inadvertently training themselves to \u201cthrow down\u201d their sidearm, rather than quickly and securely holstering, we can reprogram them by regularly stressing the proper de-escalation cycle during training.\u00a0\n\nAt the same time, we will be minimizing the potential for deadly negligent discharges in the field.\n\nAbout the author\n\n\nContact Richard Fairburn\n\nRecommended Police Trainers\n\nJoin the discussion<|endoftext|>The man didn't want to get his rearview mirror replaced before the windshield, since the windshield was dirtier.<|endoftext|>9 Times Bill O\u2019Reilly Was A Racist Troll Who Absolutely Deserved What Was Coming To Him\n\nRight-wing pundit and enemy of progress, Bill O\u2019Reilly, was\u00a0fired from his gig at Fox News earlier today, and a whopping zero people of color in the U.S. feel bad for him.\n\nO\u2019Reilly, who\u2019s been on the air waves for 21 years, was outed from the network following a plethora of sexual harassment\u00a0allegations from former co-workers.

You can use it for tomorrow's if you like.\n\u201cA word to the wise ain\u2019t necessary. It\u2019s the stupid ones who need the advice.\u201d\n- Bill Cosby\nBill holds a special place in my heart from his outstanding comedic work in the 1960's and 1970's when I was growing up. My brothers and I could practically recite whole album sides, and still bust a gut every time.\n\nIt's nice to see him fighting valiantly for the heart of Black America in such a constructive way.\n\nI just realized that this quote of the day came from an article related to the earlier quote of the day. So it's kind of appropriate, I think.\n\nThe Fifth Column\n\nI've been convinced for some time now that the War in Iraq, and maybe the one in Afghanistan -- would be long over and would have ended decidedly in America's favor if it weren't for a strong fifth column in the U.S. (and the rest of the West -- but the worst part of the problem is here) -- and it's overwhelming representation in the media.\n\nThey have made the entire war about George Bush. They're still bitter over the 2000 election. Every little story is spun to show how Bush has failed, how his motives are selfish (accusations over oil, Halliburton), even evil (accusations over torture, abusive wiretapping).\n\nIt has led to me, on this blog, being very shy about criticizing the Administration over mistakes I think they did make precisely because the Administration is so overly criticized every day. I feel an almost reflexive need to defend it. It ain't that bad.\n\nI ran across a couple of stories on the net about retired General Sanchez's speech being selectively quoted. When you read the whole speech, he didn't restrict his criticism to the Bush Administration. He also criticized Congress. And he ripped in to the press for its role in our woes in Iraq.\n\nNone of the ripping into the press ended up in the big CNN story on the speech.\n\nTheir headline \"Sanchez: Iraq war 'a nightmare with no end in sight\" only reflects a part of the message Sanchez had... the part that aligns with the agenda of the Democrats at CNN. The part that they wanted people to hear.\n\nThe story leaves the impression (by ommission and an invitation to read between the lines) that he thinks Congress should have slapped Bush down (Congress failed in its oversight), and that Democrats should have been listened to more (\"At times, these partisan struggles have led us to political decisions that endangered the lives of our sons and daughters on the battlefield. The unmistakable message was that political power had greater priority than our national security objectives.\") ... but if you read the whole speech it is clear that he was addressing the fifth column elements in our government and in the press.\n\nIt looks like it did end up in Fox News' coverage. Their headline was \"Sanchez: Media's Reporting of Iraq War Endangered Soldiers' Lives\". Fox's article does include Sanchez's criticisms of the Bush Administration as well. Fair and Balanced in this case, Fox 1, CNN 0.\n\nTo the majority of journalists it has never been about reporting on the war. It has been about exposing its pre-supposed folly. It has been about politics. It has been about the 2000 election.\n\nIf WWII had been reported like this one, we'd all be speaking German or Japanese today.\n\nDemocrats and Ottoman-Armenian issue\n\nThomas Sowell agrees with me, too.\n\nAs an unrelated aside (relating to that last Quote of the Day post) speaking of people leading the Black American Renaissance, he should be on that list along with Bob Parks & Larry Elder.\n\nQuote of the Day\n\nFrom James P. Pinkerton\n\"The unyielding truth is that any group climbs into the middle class only by embracing middle-class values. This is a \"conservative\" fact of life that was once equally embraced by liberals, before they \"progressed\" on to \"liberation\" as a new goal.\"\nCalling them \"white\" values and rejecting them only hurts you. And I like that little observation about liberals ideas shifting to an ultimately culture-destroying ideal.\n\nMonday, October 15, 2007\n\nHate Will Not Be Tolerated\n\n... except if it was done by someone we agree with even if it actually amounts to forgery and slander.\n\nI can't put it any better than Scott at Powerline did.\n\nBut I'll add that since the ACLU isn't going to do it for them, and Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton won't be stepping in, perhaps they should think about a lawsuit on account of their treatment.\n\nI'm not a fan of frivilous lawsuits, but the behavior of the University was reprehensible. This would not be \"frivolous\" IMHO. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then go read it.\n\nSee, I'm not the only one saying it\n\nOn the \"rush to condemn\" Turkey for the 1915 Armenian genocide.\nPelosi's Most Dangerous Ploy\n\nMore Gore\n\nMark Steyn's piece this morning, while rife with sarcasm, pointed me to a Vanity Fair article written last year by Yasser Arafat Al Gore (sorry, I get my Nobel Peace Prize winners mixed up sometimes) in which he said the following:\n\nwe have literally changed the relationship between the Earth and the Sun, altering the balance of energy between our planet and the rest of the universe\nWow! We are affecting the [booming echo effect on] Entire Universe! [booming echo effect off]\n\nHe also says:\n\nGlobal warming, together with the cutting and burning of forests and the destruction of other critical habitats, is causing the loss of living species at a rate comparable to that of the extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago.\nMmmhmmm, and drinking water, together with smoking seven packs of cigarettes a day can give you lung cancer.\n\nNotice that clever little trick there? It can be used for anything. Global Warming, together with drought and overpopulation and cultural and ethnic divisions in Darfur, caused civil war in that country.\n\nWhere else can we go with this? Global Warming, together with consuming far more calories than he burns off, has cause Al Gore to gain a lot of weight. This is easy. And it's kind of fun. Now I get it!\n\nAll you have to do is presuppose Global Warming (anthropogenic, of course, because we are the only part of the [booming echo effect on] Entire Universe! [booming echo effect off] that can throw it out of balance. Wait, did I just say we're a part of the Universe? Sorry.

You can use it for tomorrow's if you like.\n\u201cA word to the wise ain\u2019t necessary. It\u2019s the stupid ones who need the advice.\u201d\n- Bill Cosby\nBill holds a special place in my heart from his outstanding comedic work in the 1960's and 1970's when I was growing up. My brothers and I could practically recite whole album sides, and still bust a gut every time.\n\nIt's nice to see him fighting valiantly for the heart of Black America in such a constructive way.\n\nI just realized that this quote of the day came from an article related to the earlier quote of the day. So it's kind of appropriate, I think.\n\nThe Fifth Column\n\nI've been convinced for some time now that the War in Iraq, and maybe the one in Afghanistan -- would be long over and would have ended decidedly in America's favor if it weren't for a strong fifth column in the U.S. (and the rest of the West -- but the worst part of the problem is here) -- and it's overwhelming representation in the media.\n\nThey have made the entire war about George Bush. They're still bitter over the 2000 election. Every little story is spun to show how Bush has failed, how his motives are selfish (accusations over oil, Halliburton), even evil (accusations over torture, abusive wiretapping).\n\nIt has led to me, on this blog, being very shy about criticizing the Administration over mistakes I think they did make precisely because the Administration is so overly criticized every day. I feel an almost reflexive need to defend it. It ain't that bad.\n\nI ran across a couple of stories on the net about retired General Sanchez's speech being selectively quoted. When you read the whole speech, he didn't restrict his criticism to the Bush Administration. He also criticized Congress. And he ripped in to the press for its role in our woes in Iraq.\n\nNone of the ripping into the press ended up in the big CNN story on the speech.\n\nTheir headline \"Sanchez: Iraq war 'a nightmare with no end in sight\" only reflects a part of the message Sanchez had... the part that aligns with the agenda of the Democrats at CNN. The part that they wanted people to hear.\n\nThe story leaves the impression (by ommission and an invitation to read between the lines) that he thinks Congress should have slapped Bush down (Congress failed in its oversight), and that Democrats should have been listened to more (\"At times, these partisan struggles have led us to political decisions that endangered the lives of our sons and daughters on the battlefield. The unmistakable message was that political power had greater priority than our national security objectives.\") ... but if you read the whole speech it is clear that he was addressing the fifth column elements in our government and in the press.\n\nIt looks like it did end up in Fox News' coverage. Their headline was \"Sanchez: Media's Reporting of Iraq War Endangered Soldiers' Lives\". Fox's article does include Sanchez's criticisms of the Bush Administration as well. Fair and Balanced in this case, Fox 1, CNN 0.\n\nTo the majority of journalists it has never been about reporting on the war. It has been about exposing its pre-supposed folly. It has been about politics. It has been about the 2000 election.\n\nIf WWII had been reported like this one, we'd all be speaking German or Japanese today.\n\nDemocrats and Ottoman-Armenian issue\n\nThomas Sowell agrees with me, too.\n\nAs an unrelated aside (relating to that last Quote of the Day post) speaking of people leading the Black American Renaissance, he should be on that list along with Bob Parks & Larry Elder.\n\nQuote of the Day\n\nFrom James P. Pinkerton\n\"The unyielding truth is that any group climbs into the middle class only by embracing middle-class values. This is a \"conservative\" fact of life that was once equally embraced by liberals, before they \"progressed\" on to \"liberation\" as a new goal.\"\nCalling them \"white\" values and rejecting them only hurts you. And I like that little observation about liberals ideas shifting to an ultimately culture-destroying ideal.\n\nMonday, October 15, 2007\n\nHate Will Not Be Tolerated\n\n... except if it was done by someone we agree with even if it actually amounts to forgery and slander.\n\nI can't put it any better than Scott at Powerline did.\n\nBut I'll add that since the ACLU isn't going to do it for them, and Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton won't be stepping in, perhaps they should think about a lawsuit on account of their treatment.\n\nI'm not a fan of frivilous lawsuits, but the behavior of the University was reprehensible. This would not be \"frivolous\" IMHO. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then go read it.\n\nSee, I'm not the only one saying it\n\nOn the \"rush to condemn\" Turkey for the 1915 Armenian genocide.\nPelosi's Most Dangerous Ploy\n\nMore Gore\n\nMark Steyn's piece this morning, while rife with sarcasm, pointed me to a Vanity Fair article written last year by Yasser Arafat Al Gore (sorry, I get my Nobel Peace Prize winners mixed up sometimes) in which he said the following:\n\nwe have literally changed the relationship between the Earth and the Sun, altering the balance of energy between our planet and the rest of the universe\nWow! We are affecting the [booming echo effect on] Entire Universe! [booming echo effect off]\n\nHe also says:\n\nGlobal warming, together with the cutting and burning of forests and the destruction of other critical habitats, is causing the loss of living species at a rate comparable to that of the extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago.\nMmmhmmm, and drinking water, together with smoking seven packs of cigarettes a day can give you lung cancer.\n\nNotice that clever little trick there? It can be used for anything. Global Warming, together with drought and overpopulation and cultural and ethnic divisions in Darfur, caused civil war in that country.\n\nWhere else can we go with this? Global Warming, together with consuming far more calories than he burns off, has cause Al Gore to gain a lot of weight. This is easy. And it's kind of fun. Now I get it!\n\nAll you have to do is presuppose Global Warming (anthropogenic, of course, because we are the only part of the [booming echo effect on] Entire Universe! [booming echo effect off] that can throw it out of balance. Wait, did I just say we're a part of the Universe? Sorry.

Yet I can\u2019t count the number of times I\u2019ve heard from people that the one thing their colleague needs to work on is emotional intelligence. This is the problem: those who most need to develop it are the ones who least realize it. The data showing that emotional intelligence is a key differentiator between star performers and the rest of the pack is irrefutable. Nevertheless, there are some who never embrace the skill for themselves \u2014 or who wait until it\u2019s too late.\n\nTake Craig (not his real name), a coaching client of mine, who showed tremendous potential and a strong ability to drive results for his company. The issue with Craig was the way in which he got those results. When asked to describe him, his colleagues would say things like: \u201che\u2019s a bull in a china shop;\u201d \u201che has sharp elbows;\u201d and \u201che leaves dead bodies in his path.\u201d His approach to executing projects was not sustainable as he wasn\u2019t able to motivate, attract and retain good talent. His direct reports pointed out how frequently Craig seemed oblivious to how he demeaned others. His boss commented on Craig\u2019s impatience and his propensity to lash out at his peers. When I shared this feedback with Craig, he seemed taken aback and was convinced that I had heard wrong. He didn\u2019t have the self-awareness or empathy that are hallmarks of emotional intelligence.\n\nHere are some of the telltale signs that you need to work on your emotional intelligence:\n\n \u2022 You often feel like others don\u2019t get the point and it makes you impatient and frustrated.\n \u2022 You\u2019re surprised when others are sensitive to your comments or jokes and you think they\u2019re overreacting.\n \u2022 You think being liked at work is overrated.\n \u2022 You weigh in early with your assertions and defend them with rigor.\n \u2022 You hold others to the same high expectations you hold for yourself.\n \u2022 You find others are to blame for most of the issues on your team.\n \u2022 You find it annoying when others expect you to know how they feel.\n\nSo what do you do if you recognized yourself in this list? Here are four strategies:\n\n1. Get feedback. You can\u2019t work on a problem you don\u2019t understand. A critical component of emotional intelligence is self-awareness \u2014 this is the ability to recognize and stay cognizant of behaviors in the moment. Whether you engage in a 360 assessment or simply ask a few people what they observe, this step is critical in heightening your sense of what you do or don\u2019t do. And don\u2019t just find excuses for your behavior. That defeats the purpose. Rather, listen to the feedback, try to understand it, and own it. When Craig initially heard what others thought of him, he quickly became defensive. But when he accepted the feedback, he moved to owning it and became determined to change.\n\n2. Beware of the gap between intent and impact. Those with weak emotional intelligence often underestimate what a negative impact their words and actions have on others. They ignore the gap between what they mean to say and what others actually hear. Here are some common examples of what those with low emotional intelligence may say and how it\u2019s actually heard:\n\nWhat you say: \u201cAt the end of the day, it\u2019s all about getting the work done.\u201d\n\nWhat others hear: \u201cAll I care about is the results and if some are offended along the way, so be it.\u201d\n\nWhat you say: \u201cIf I can understand it, anyone can.\u201d\n\nWhat others hear: \u201cYou\u2019re not smart enough to get this.\u201d\n\nWhat you say: \u201cI don\u2019t see what the big deal is.\u201d\n\nWhat others hear: \u201cI don\u2019t really care how you feel.\u201d\n\nRegardless of what you intend to mean, think about how your words are going to impact others and whether that\u2019s how you want to them to feel. Craig was notorious for saying things that made others bristle, but he began to consider the impact of his words. Before every meeting, he spent a few minutes asking himself: What is the impression I want to make? How do I want people to feel about me at the end? How do I need to frame my message to reach that objective?\n\n3. Press the pause button: Having high emotional intelligence means making choices about how you respond to situations, rather than having a knee-jerk reaction. For example, Craig tended to interrupt and shoot down other people\u2019s ideas before they could complete their thoughts. This behavior was a reaction to his fear of losing control of the discussion and wasting time. So he started to take pauses before reacting. There are two important pauses to take:\n\nPause to listen to yourself. When Craig was getting impatient and frustrated in discussions, he often felt his jaw clench and his chest tighten. By recognizing these physical signs, he was able to pause and remind himself that he feared losing control. As a result, Craig was better able to determine how he wanted to respond, rather than relying on his default of lashing out.\n\nPause to listen to others. Listening means helping others feel like you\u2019ve understood them (even if you don\u2019t agree with them). It\u2019s not the same as not saying anything. It\u2019s simply giving others a chance to convey their ideas before you jump in.\n\n4. Wear both shoes. People often suggest you \u201cput yourself in the other person\u2019s shoes\u201d to develop empathy, a key component of emotional intelligence, but you shouldn\u2019t dismiss how you feel. You need to wear both shoes \u2014 understanding both your agenda and theirs and seeing any situation from both sides. Craig shifted his approach from \u201cHere are my concerns\u201d to \u201cThese are my issues, and I hear your concerns. Let\u2019s determine a way forward that takes both into consideration.\u201d\n\nStrengthening your emotional intelligence takes commitment, discipline, and a genuine belief in its value. With time and practice, though, you\u2019ll find that the results you achieve far outweigh the effort it took to get there.\n\nPost your comment here\n<|endoftext|>From Timothy Ferris' The Whole Shebang: A State-of-the-Universe(s) Report (1997).\n\nTimothy Ferris\n\nQuantum Weirdness\n\n\"What is the answer?\"\n\"In that case, what is the question?\"\n-GERTRUDE STEIN, last words [1]\n\nThe quantum is the greatest mystery we've got.

The standard model of quantum mechanics is internally consistent, and its equations accurately predict the behavior of all natural phenomena to which they have been applied. (Indeed, they have produced some of the most precisely verified predictions in science.) The trouble is border, trouble. It arises along the quantum-classical frontier, when we try to reconcile quantum mechanics with the characteristics of the macroscopic world-to conform quantum phenomena to a more general philosophy that would satisfy what Vladimir Nabokov called the \"ominous and ludicrous luxury. . . of human consciousness.\" [5] Limited though they may be, these border skirmishes raise questions sufficiently baffling as to constitute the scientific equivalent of a Zen koan. Quantum weirdness is so counterintuitive that to comprehend it is to become not enlightened but confused.

He certainly wasn\u2019t a desiccated husk.\u00a0 This was a muscled god, all rippling abs and chiseled features.\n\n\u201cThis can\u2019t be happening\u201d Victoria muttered, as she pulled against the bindings.\n\nHer words drew the mummy\u2019s attention back to her.\u00a0 He took in her bound form and smiled.\n\nHe reached out and tore her tank top away, revealing her breasts.\u00a0 The Pharaoh\u00a0said something, it sounded appreciative, but it wasn\u2019t in any language Victoria understood.\u00a0His hands closed on her breasts.\u00a0 Victoria wriggled in her bounds, but the linen held fast.\n\nHis warm hands enveloped her breasts, and Victoria was surprised to hear her own moan echo in the tomb.\u00a0 He gave a throaty laugh, and he rolled her nipples between his fingers.\u00a0 He pulled at her nipples, stretching her breasts.\u00a0 She found herself responding to his touch, just like in her fantasies about him.\u00a0 He was a king, a god, and he was used to be treated as one.\u00a0 He was going to take whatever he wanted from her.\u00a0 She felt herself grow wet at the thought of him using her for his pleasure.\n\nHe dipped his head and began lapping at her nipples.\u00a0 He moved quickly to sucking and biting softly.\u00a0\u00a0 She hissed a low \u201cyes,\u201d and nodded vigorously. She knew he didn\u2019t understand her words, but he seemed to understand her body language.\u00a0 She bucked her hips in vain against the bonds.\u00a0 He sucked at the flesh of her breasts, leaving his mark upon her.\n\nHe spoke again, brusque\u00a0and demanding.\u00a0 Victoria could only listen and wonder what he wanted.\u00a0 His hands went to her shorts. The modern clothing slowed him down.\u00a0 He finally took a dagger from the collected artifacts to cut them away.\u00a0 He pulled the scraps of fabric from her body, leaving her naked and bound on the stone sarcophagus.\u00a0 She whispered his name, finally admitting that this was the mummy of Pharaoh Djet.\u00a0 Hearing his name, he stared at her.\n\n\u201cDo you like hearing your name?\u201d She asked, and she said his name again, in almost the same moan she\u2019d used when she had masturbated in the tomb.\n\nHe smiled and ran his hands down her body.\u00a0 His fingers reached her lower lips, finding them dripping wet she was sure. \u00a0She bucked her hips at him, wanting more.\u00a0 He ran his fingers over her, collecting her wetness.\u00a0 He raised his fingers to his lips and tasted her.\u00a0 He licked each finger slowly, his eyes half closed savoring the taste of her.\u00a0 He repeated the process with his fingers slowly sliding between her thighs.\u00a0 Victoria whimpered struggling against her bonds, wanting his fingers to go deeper.\u00a0 He laughed at her struggles and continued his slow, torturous stroking of her.\n\nHe once again raised his wet fingers to his lips and sucked them clean.\u00a0 She watched his thick fingers disappear between his full lips and the flash of his tongue over his fingers.\u00a0 She wanted those fingers, and she wanted that tongue with a physical ache.\u00a0 He wasn\u2019t interested in giving in to her demands.\u00a0\u00a0 The linen bonds tightened around her limbs, limiting her movements even more.\n\nDjet waved his hands, and she was pulled along the sarcophagus.\u00a0 Her legs were tugged wide, and her feet could almost reach the ground.\u00a0 Her ass rested at the edge of the cold stone. \u00a0Djet slowly unwound the belt that kept his remaining clothing on.\u00a0 He let it fall away, revealing his arousal.\u00a0 Victoria panted in anticipation.\u00a0 He ran his hands over her body again, speaking.\u00a0 Victoria didn\u2019t know the words or what they meant, but they reminded her of a prayer or poem.\n\nHis fingertips grazing her collar bone, and she shivered, feeling her desire reaching a peak.\u00a0 He continued his words, while his fingertips softly brushing over and around her breasts, but not straying to her hard, throbbing nipples.\u00a0 His fingers tickled over her belly, and down her inner thighs.\u00a0 He continued his litany, as he ran his fingers behind her knees.\n\nVictoria felt the words bubbling up in her throat.\u00a0 She bit her lip, but couldn\u2019t stop the torrent of begging that burst forth.\u00a0 She begged and pleaded for him to fuck her.\u00a0 She implored him, using his name, using the modern Egyptian she had learned for \u201cplease.\u201d\u00a0 She didn\u2019t know if he understood anything beyond his name and recognizing the pleading in her tone.\u00a0 Or perhaps he simply finished his invocation.\n\nHe stood between her thighs, his erection jutting hard between them.\u00a0 He spoke a few more words, his hands raised to the sky.\u00a0 Then he plunged into her soaking wet pussy.\u00a0 Victoria cried out in pleasure.\u00a0 Djet thrust into her in slow measured strokes, filling her, only to pull back, almost all the way.\u00a0 She moaned, shifting as much as her bonds allowed.\u00a0 She wanted to fuck him, or him to fuck her, to pound into her willing body.\u00a0 She continued her own litany of begging, demanding, and cajoling \u2013 only to have her words ignored.\n\nHe reached between them, his fingers unerringly finding her clitoris.\u00a0 He toyed with the nub, teasing her continuing the same slow, deliberate pace.\u00a0 The pressure on her clit was driving her to the edge, but not giving her enough for release.\u00a0 She gave up her words and simply gave into moaning.\u00a0 He increased the pressure and speed of his touch on her clit, finally giving her the release he had denied.\u00a0 She almost screamed as she felt the orgasm wash over her.\u00a0 That feeling of weightlessness, the wave of nerves firing washed over her, almost drowning her.\n\nThen he began to thrust in earnest.\u00a0 He seemed to enjoy watching her orgasm crest.\u00a0 He grasped her thighs, and his hips thrust with strength and speed.\u00a0 His voice raised in a chant or prayer once again.\u00a0 His words were fast and sounded almost like a growl.\u00a0 Finally, he came, and she felt his cock twitch inside her.\u00a0 He let his head drop, breathing heavily.", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 353506, "pt_loc": 34932970, "pt_shuffle_idx": 75961631, "doc_index_f": 119074651, "doc_index_l": 119074653, "offset_f": 179, "offset_l": 1766, "pt_injection_pos": 2, "pt_window_offset": 8, "pt_injection_len": 23, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [138, 144, 1767]} -{"pt_doc": "Matthew confided to Hunter that he dumps bleach in his yard.

Gold\n\nFebruary 21, 1988|By Phil Hersh, Chicago Tribune.\n\nCALGARY \u2014 In a competition so close it was decided by a tiebreaking procedure, Brian Boitano of Sunnyvale, Calif., won the Olympic men`s figure skating and collected the first U.S. gold medal Saturday night.\n\nBoitano upset defending world champion Brian Orser in the freestyle long program on an evening when both skaters made minor mistakes.\n\nEnough of the nine judges must have felt Orser`s mistake, a stumbling landing on a three-revolution jump, was serious enough to score Boitano higher in the technical merit rank of scores.\n\n``I consider this medal a victory for all of America,`` Boitano said. ``I want to thank every American for their support. It`s your medal, too.``\n\nThey were fighting for a single gold medal, which was important enough, but it might be the single gold medal either of their countries wins at these Olympics.\n\nThat sort of pressure is something Canada`s Orser knew he would be facing when he skated into the finale against Boitano.\n\n``I have known from the beginning I was the biggest hope for a gold in the Olympics here in Canada,`` Orser said.\n\nThat weight may have finally gotten to Orser, when he decided to do a more conservative program than originally planned. He reduced one of his triple Axels-the 3 1/2-revolution jump that is his trademark-to a much easier double Axel.\n\n``Hindsight is 20-20, but maybe I should have tried it (the triple Axel),`` Orser said. ``I was feeling a little tired. I thought it was better to stay up.``\n\nCanada can now still repeat the ignominy of 1976, when it became the only summer Olympic host country not to win a medal.\n\nBoitano never expected to be the gold standard-bearer for the U.S. Orser simply had the misfortune of competing in the same era as the American. They are two of the best male skaters ever.\n\n``It`s almost a shame the two of them had to be skating at the same time,`` said Canada`s Kurt Browning, who finished eighth. ``How do we choose one guy who is the best?``\n\nFive of the judges did it by giving scores that favored Boitano. A majority of the judges is enough to give one skater a victory.\n\nBoitano had higher overall marks (the combination of technical merit and artistic impression) on three of the judges, and the skaters were tied overall on two judges. In those cases-Denmark and Switzerland-the tie was broken because Boitano had higher technical merit marks.\n\nBoitano, the 1986 world champion, had thought his best hope was to do a flawless performance and put the pressure on Orser, who was skating after him in the long program.\n\nHe had just one minor error, getting two feet on the ice instead of one while in a move known as a death drop, where the skater goes from a flying spin into a sitting spin.\n\nBoitano did all eight of his planned triple jumps flawlessly as he skated to Carmine Coppola`s music for the movie, ``Napoleon.`` He remained emotionless for much of the 4-minute 30-second program until the end.\n\n``The crucial part of the program was the opening two minutes. After the first three jumps were nailed I started thinking, `Gee, I`m skating so well.` But I had to keep concentrating.\n\n``I was trying so hard to take one thing at a time.\n\n``I didn`t want to get excited about each thing I landed. I didn`t break\n\n(into effusiveness) until the end.``\n\nBoitano, 24, gave the U.S. successive gold medalists in men`s singles\n\n(Scott Hamilton won in 1984). It was the sixth time an American man has won the gold.\n\nNot far behind them were the two young men who will likely battle for the 1992 championship, Viktor Petrenko of the Soviet Union and Christopher Bowman of the U.S.\n\nPetrenko, 18, took third in the long program to become a surprising bronze medalist.\n\nBowman, 20, was seventh in the long program and overall.\n\nThe dynamic Petrenko is considered an anomaly among Soviet skaters. He has not become a compulsory figures specialist like his compatriot, Alexandr Fadeev.\n\nFadeev, the 1985 world champion, won the compulsories here but faded from contention when he finished ninth in the short program. He was fourth in the long program and fourth overall.\n\n``Viktor is very exciting for a Russian,`` Browning said. ``He has all the characteristics of a Russian until he steps onto the ice and then his love of skating comes through.``\n\nBrowning, 21, another potential star of the next generation, tried to make history now by attempting a quadruple revolution jump.\n\nHe was not able to jump high enough to do four revolutions before landing.

Banal experiences and minor mistakes were an excuse for the part of my mind which had become my constant and most vicious persecutor to berate me for my total inadequacy as a human being. I had tried many different types of medication and therapy. Nothing worked. Except cannabis, a substance which I had tried as a young adult and had brought temporary relief from my symptoms. Despite this I did not want to be a criminal. On one fateful and particularly desperate day I turned to legal highs, a 'herbal' substitute for cannabis. Believing these to be fairly harmless I sat down on a park bench and transported myself to a peaceful, yet entirely debilitating, oblivion.\n\nAfter two weeks I was completely addicted. Within two months, my friends and family knew that there was something seriously wrong and tried to talk to me about having gone a bit 'David Icke'. I viewed them suspiciously, believing them to be part of the conspiracy above, employed by the devil to stop me from saving the world. Within six months I had lost my house, my job and my sanity.\n\nIf you are expecting the remainder of this article to descend into a 'drugs are bad' lecture, worthy of a public health official, you are about to be disappointed. Having become intimately acquainted with irrational thoughts and beliefs, I can tell you right now that the current political position in the UK on drugs is what is truly insane.\n\nIf I say the words 'drug addict' to you, what image does it conjure up? A man in a hoodie with pupils the size of a small moon, nicking the presents from under your Christmas tree? I do not deny that drug addicts commit criminal acts. What I do question is the reason why they are driven to do so.\n\nImagine, if you will, the most brutal and heartless person you have ever met. Maybe it's an abusive parent, a childhood bully or a controlling partner. Now imagine that you are locked in a room with this individual for all eternity and that they are continuously attacking you for your every error of judgement, no matter how small. What would you do to escape from that room? Then, once you had escaped, what would you do to avoid having to go back in there? Anyone wishing to understand the true nature of addiction must first understand that addicts are not bad, or weak, or dirty. They are often desperate human beings attempting to escape a reality which they have been ill equipped to deal with.\n\nThe 'drugs are bad' debate is a childish attempt to hide from the monster in the closet. It's time that we opened it up and had a good look in there. Legal highs are here to stay. No matter how the government legislates there will always be loopholes allowing the developers to create different and ultimately, more potent, chemical cocktails, which people across the country will buy in droves. People will always buy illegal drugs, whether to self-medicate, or for recreational purposes, playing Russian roulette with their physical and mental health.\n\nIf we lived in a sane world all of these groups would have access to safe, tested drugs and balanced information, facilitating rational and informed choices. If we lived in a sane world, we would use the resources currently spent upon targeting criminal groups who traffic drugs to further other, more nefarious goals, by cutting off their main source of control and income by providing these drugs in a safe environment, helping the vulnerable to overcome their addictions with appropriate support.\n\nSadly, we do not live in a sane world.

This is because the images are made in a format which makes them easier to manipulate in different ways.\n\nWith file sizes upwards of a couple of megabytes per image, if you put these files on your website it would be very slow to load.\n\nOptimizing your images for the web means saving or compiling your images in a web friendly format depending on what the image contains.\n\nImages hold data other than just the pixels we see on the screen. This data can add unnecessary size to the image which leads to longer load times as the user waits for the image to download.\n\nIn terms of cost versus benefit optimizing your images should be near the top of your page speed optimizations if you don't have them optimized already.\n\nHow does it work?\n\nIn simple terms optimizing your image works by removing all the unnecessary data that is saved within the image to reduce the file size of the image based on where it is being used in your website.\n\nOptimizing images for the web can reduce your total page load size by up to 80%.\n\nThere are two forms of compression that we need to understand, Lossy and Lossless.\n\nImages saved in a lossy format will look slightly different than the original image when uncompressed. Keep in mind that this is only visible at a very close look. Lossy compression is good for web, because images use small amount of memory, but can be sufficiently like the original image.\n\nImages saved in lossless format retain all the information needed to produce the original image. For this reason these images carry a lot more data and in return are a much large file size.\n\nWe also can optimize images for the web by saving them as the appropriate dimensions. Resizing the image on the webpage itself using CSS is helpful but the issue is the web browser will still download the entire original file, then resize it and display it.\n\nCan you imagine take a poster size image and using it as a thumbnail? The little 20px by 20px image would take as long to load as the original poster, when we could just be loading a 20px image the whole time.\n\nWhy is it important?\n\nThe main reason why it's so important to optimize your images is because 90% of most websites are graphics dependent and therefore there are a lot of image files. Leaving these images uncompressed and in the wrong format can drastically slow down your web page load times.\n\nHow to Optimize Your Images\n\nFull optimization of images can be quite an art to perfect as there are such a wide variety of images you might be dealing with. Here are the most common ways to optimize your images for the web.\n\n \u2022 Reduce the white space around images - some developers use whitespace for padding which is a big no no. Crop your images to remove any whitespace around the image and use CSS to provide padding.\n \u2022 Use proper file formats. If you have icons, bullets or any graphics that don't have too many colours use a format such as GIF and save the file with lower amounts of colours. If you have more detailed graphics then use JPG file format to save your images and reduce the quality.\n \u2022 Save your images in the proper dimensions. If you are having to use HTML or CSS to resize your images, stop right there. Save the image in the desired size to reduce the file size.\n\nTo resize your images you will have to use some form of program. For basic compression you can use a simple editing program such as GIMP. For more advanced optimization you will have to save specific files in Photoshop, Illustrator or Fireworks.\n\nNeed Help with this Rule?\n\nOur good friends at can optimize images on your website for only $39!\n\nSubmit a GTmetrix report to tweaky and they'll help you get started!\n\nGet This Fixed on Your Site\n\nNeed Help with this Rule?\n\n\n\nGet This Fixed on Your Site\n\n\nChoose an appropriate image file format\n\nThe type of an image can have a drastic impact on the file size. Use these guidelines:\n\n \u2022 PNGs are almost always superior to GIFs and are usually the best choice. IE 4.0b1+, Mac IE 5.0+, Opera 3.51+ and Netscape 4.04+ as well as all versions of Safari and Firefox fully support PNG, including transparency. IE versions 4 to 6 don't support alpha channel transparency (partial transparency) but they support 256-color-or-less PNGs with 1-bit transparency (the same that is supported for GIFs). IE 7 and 8 support alpha transparent PNGs except when an alpha opacity filter is applied to the element. You can generate or convert suitable PNGs with GIMP by using \"Indexed\" rather than \"RGB\" mode. If you must maintain compatibility with 3.x-level browsers, serve an alternate GIF to those browsers.\n \u2022 Use GIFs for very small or simple graphics (e.g. less than 10x10 pixels, or a color palette", "base_doc": ". Perhaps unsurprisingly, the story began on a park bench with a packet of legal highs.\n\nSince I was a child I have lived with crippling anxiety and depression. Banal experiences and minor mistakes were an excuse for the part of my mind which had become my constant and most vicious persecutor to berate me for my total inadequacy as a human being. I had tried many different types of medication and therapy. Nothing worked. Except cannabis, a substance which I had tried as a young adult and had brought temporary relief from my symptoms. Despite this I did not want to be a criminal. On one fateful and particularly desperate day I turned to legal highs, a 'herbal' substitute for cannabis. Believing these to be fairly harmless I sat down on a park bench and transported myself to a peaceful, yet entirely debilitating, oblivion.\n\nAfter two weeks I was completely addicted. Within two months, my friends and family knew that there was something seriously wrong and tried to talk to me about having gone a bit 'David Icke'. I viewed them suspiciously, believing them to be part of the conspiracy above, employed by the devil to stop me from saving the world. Within six months I had lost my house, my job and my sanity.\n\nIf you are expecting the remainder of this article to descend into a 'drugs are bad' lecture, worthy of a public health official, you are about to be disappointed. Having become intimately acquainted with irrational thoughts and beliefs, I can tell you right now that the current political position in the UK on drugs is what is truly insane.\n\nIf I say the words 'drug addict' to you, what image does it conjure up? A man in a hoodie with pupils the size of a small moon, nicking the presents from under your Christmas tree? I do not deny that drug addicts commit criminal acts. What I do question is the reason why they are driven to do so.\n\nImagine, if you will, the most brutal and heartless person you have ever met. Maybe it's an abusive parent, a childhood bully or a controlling partner. Now imagine that you are locked in a room with this individual for all eternity and that they are continuously attacking you for your every error of judgement, no matter how small. What would you do to escape from that room? Then, once you had escaped, what would you do to avoid having to go back in there? Anyone wishing to understand the true nature of addiction must first understand that addicts are not bad, or weak, or dirty. They are often desperate human beings attempting to escape a reality which they have been ill equipped to deal with.\n\nThe 'drugs are bad' debate is a childish attempt to hide from the monster in the closet. It's time that we opened it up and had a good look in there. Legal highs are here to stay. No matter how the government legislates there will always be loopholes allowing the developers to create different and ultimately, more potent, chemical cocktails, which people across the country will buy in droves. People will always buy illegal drugs, whether to self-medicate, or for recreational purposes, playing Russian roulette with their physical and mental health.\n\nIf we lived in a sane world all of these groups would have access to safe, tested drugs and balanced information, facilitating rational and informed choices. If we lived in a sane world, we would use the resources currently spent upon targeting criminal groups who traffic drugs to further other, more nefarious goals, by cutting off their main source of control and income by providing these drugs in a safe environment, helping the vulnerable to overcome their addictions with appropriate support.\n\nSadly, we do not live in a sane world. We live in a world where reason, sense and pragmatism are substituted for fear, denial and rhetoric. It's time to grow up and to examine this issue in the cold, hard light of reality. If society is to be judged upon how it treats the most vulnerable of citizens, it is clear that we are currently failing people in a truly spectacular fashion.<|endoftext|>Page Speed: Optimize images More Recommendations\n\nRule Summary\n\n\n\nReduce the load times of pages by loading appropriately sized images.\n\n \u2022 Reduce file sizes based on where images will be displayed\n \u2022 Resize image files themeselves instead of via CSS\n \u2022 Save files in appropriate format depending on usage\n \u2022 Cost benefit ratio: high value\n \u2022 Access needed\nHow does your site score on this rule?\n\nWhat is optimizing images for the web?\n\nThe images you create in programs like Photoshop and Illustrator look amazing but often the file sizes are very large.

THEN ON TOP OF THAT they done made a home on top of your face and won't leave even when you put an eviction notice on there with every skincare product and device for them to leave. We've even tried popping the suckers away and they just won't budge for nothing. GEEZ WHAT A PEST! \u00a0YES we've all experienced that at least once in our lives.\u00a0\n\nBut worry no more my dears! I've found the cure to blast them suckers away. \u00a0This is great for that industry model that may be going to a casting call, this is great for that bride that's getting married within a week or the next day and need a right now fixer upper, this is great for that person that has a photoshoot the next day or so, this is great for that everyday woman that may have an interview or a date night coming up. This is a great option over all for the person that does not want to see a zit sitting on their face. And who wants to see a zit sitting on their face??? Anybody???? NO??? I thought so!!! What makes the whole experience of having a zit on your face worse is zits always appear in the most obvious areas where people can see it. It never pops up near the hairline, or under the jaw line, near the ear or anything that is a hidden place that zit likes to be the life of the party! It wants to appear on your nose, near your mouth, smack center on your face just waiting to get some attention. \u00a0DANG at least have a heart ZIT...Oh wait zits don't have a heart or a mind of it's own but I would like to think it has a mind of it's own!\n\nSo anyway back to this special cure....\u00a0\n\nThis product is as old as dirt...WELL not that old but it's definitely not new either. It's been out for some time now but I feel like people are not hip to this product or anything similar to it and the reason why I say that is because when people get a zit they get so extreme to the point of no hope. Maybe it's not that extreme but if people knew that this product existed they probably wouldn't react the way they do. I feel like a zit is just a fun way for me to discover how to kick the sucker out PERMANENTLY! \u00a0I've never had zits that lingered for a long time until recently. And I believe that just comes with the territory of getting older and experiencing unknown hormones. SO yes it's new to me but I treat it just like any other pimple I got during my monthly menstrual. So I guess this product is almost a hidden secret...\n\nWhat makes this product so REMARKABLE???? Well...\n\n1. Because I say it is... lol (just kiddin) Nope I'm not. Really I've tried and tested it and it works. I had a zit for as long as 2 months in the same area of my face and it would sort of disappear, SORT OF but that sucker was full of crap. It would act like it was disappearing. I tried numerous of products. Y'all know I'm into skincare but I could not get that one zit to disappear. It wasn't until I did some research I discovered this product. I've passed this particular product so many times. And I knew about it but yet I didn't know about it.\u00a0\n\n2. It has the one thing that will have that zit running for cover...BENZOYL PEROXIDE!

This is a great option over all for the person that does not want to see a zit sitting on their face. And who wants to see a zit sitting on their face??? Anybody???? NO??? I thought so!!! What makes the whole experience of having a zit on your face worse is zits always appear in the most obvious areas where people can see it. It never pops up near the hairline, or under the jaw line, near the ear or anything that is a hidden place that zit likes to be the life of the party! It wants to appear on your nose, near your mouth, smack center on your face just waiting to get some attention. \u00a0DANG at least have a heart ZIT...Oh wait zits don't have a heart or a mind of it's own but I would like to think it has a mind of it's own!\n\nSo anyway back to this special cure....\u00a0\n\nThis product is as old as dirt...WELL not that old but it's definitely not new either. It's been out for some time now but I feel like people are not hip to this product or anything similar to it and the reason why I say that is because when people get a zit they get so extreme to the point of no hope. Maybe it's not that extreme but if people knew that this product existed they probably wouldn't react the way they do. I feel like a zit is just a fun way for me to discover how to kick the sucker out PERMANENTLY! \u00a0I've never had zits that lingered for a long time until recently. And I believe that just comes with the territory of getting older and experiencing unknown hormones. SO yes it's new to me but I treat it just like any other pimple I got during my monthly menstrual. So I guess this product is almost a hidden secret...\n\nWhat makes this product so REMARKABLE???? Well...\n\n1. Because I say it is... lol (just kiddin) Nope I'm not. Really I've tried and tested it and it works. I had a zit for as long as 2 months in the same area of my face and it would sort of disappear, SORT OF but that sucker was full of crap. It would act like it was disappearing. I tried numerous of products. Y'all know I'm into skincare but I could not get that one zit to disappear. It wasn't until I did some research I discovered this product. I've passed this particular product so many times. And I knew about it but yet I didn't know about it.\u00a0\n\n2. It has the one thing that will have that zit running for cover...BENZOYL PEROXIDE! Benzoyl Peroxide is like a nuclear bomb on your face that destroys only the bad things which that would be that zit on your face.\u00a0\n\n**NOTE: Let me tell you the only way I was able to find this product is because I", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 358414, "pt_loc": 13180523, "pt_shuffle_idx": 53859965, "doc_index_f": 84432508, "doc_index_l": 84432510, "offset_f": 169, "offset_l": 862, "pt_injection_pos": 2, "pt_window_offset": 5, "pt_injection_len": 25, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [852, 334, 863]} -{"pt_doc": " the older man seated across from him seems worn down by this torrent of words and actually turns toward the viewer as if appealing for our sympathy.\n\nEverybody is excited by breaking news in Woodville's most famous painting, \"War News from Mexico\" (1848), in which a group reacts to battle news from the Mexican-American War that one man is reading aloud from a newspaper.

He's currently litigating a case where an employee tape-recorded his supervisor's comments while firing him because he complained of labor issues. In another case, employees hid a recorder in one spot, which captured their coworker making scandalous allegations about her boss. In Nevada, he says that's wire-tapping. However, an employee can legally record conversations if the recorder is physically on their body; tucked in his or her shirt pocket, for example.\n\nNewsletter Sign-Up:\n\nHR Technology\nTalent Management\nHR Leadership\nInside HR Tech\nSpecial Offers\n\nEmail Address\n\nPrivacy Policy\n\nHe believes it's impractical for HR to create one policy that covers employees across state borders. \"The employee handbook would be so large that it becomes unmanageable,\" he says, explaining that privacy laws can be very different, even between neighboring states such as Nevada and California.\n\nInstead, Rempfer says HR executives need to review their employee policies every six months to ensure they're up-to-date on constantly changing employment laws. He also suggests adding a statement such as, \"We consider employee privacy to be a very serious issue and comply with all federal, state and local laws.\"\n\n\"This is going to be a burgeoning issue,\" Rempfer says, adding that it's still unclear how such state laws interact with federal laws or rulings. \"I cannot tell you how many times I hear employees state, \u2018Well, I had my recorder on or video recorder on \u2026 .' That's probably why this decision will get a lot of plaintiffs' concern and make a lot of defendants happy.\"\n\nNot every company needs a recording policy, so HR should avoid over-reacting to this case by creating one, says Joseph Godwin, a consultant at F&H Solutions Group, a labor and employment-consulting firm in Washington.\n\n\"Very few things should be jumped at automatically,\" he says. \"My first rule for a policy is don't have a policy unless you need it, and if you need it, state a clear reason for it and support it with job-related facts.\"\n\nAnother consideration: Even if an activity is legal in your state, companies can still develop a policy prohibiting it, he says. Smoking is a good example. While legal in many places, companies can support an anti-smoking policy.\n\nHR needs to ensure that every policy fits the workplace and workforce, says Godwin, explaining that companies, especially those employing a young workforce, need to assess the level of risk. If significant, consider creating a broader policy that covers the use of all personal electronic devices while at work.\n\n\"What all employers can get out of this is that there is no employee right to make recordings in the workplace,\" says Godwin. \"If you have a workforce likely to make recordings and jokes and [do] things that would do harm to your business, then you need to have a policy about it. It's something for employers to consider, not have a knee-jerk reaction to.\"\n\nCopyright 2014\u00a9 LRP Publications<|endoftext|>Little Truths\n\nBianca day II mauri 067\n\nGris-Gris is well known for its sea cliff.

Therefore in your concord and harmonious love, Jesus Christ is sung. And do ye, man by man, become a choir, that being harmonious in love, and taking up the song of God in unison, ye may with one voice sing to the Father through Jesus Christ, so that He may both hear you, and perceive by your works that ye are indeed the members of His Son. It is profitable, therefore, that you should live in an unblameable unity, that thus ye may always enjoy communion with God. (Ignatius to the Ephesians, Chapter 4)\nIn the early church, the bishop and presbyters provided oversight to the church, much like the elders in ancient Israel. However, the bishop represented the extension of the apostles and, as such, were the final\u00a0arbiter\u00a0of truth. They were the final authority as to what Jesus taught his apostles and what the apostles taught and what they\u00a0meant\u00a0by what they wrote. They were the \"keepers\" of the apostolic message of which the church was the \"pillar and support of the truth.\" (1 Timothy 3:15) They were the living definition of what it meant to be orthodox. This is why to be outside the fellowship of the bishop was to be outside the church.\n\"Let no man deceive himself: if any one be not within the altar, he is deprived of the bread of God. For if the prayer of one or two possesses such power, how much more that of the bishop and the whole Church! He, therefore, that does not assemble with the Church, has even by this manifested his pride, and condemned\u00a0himself.\" (Ignatius to the Ephesians, Chapter 5)\nIt is so hard to place ourselves back onto the situation that the early church experienced since we have drifted so far from the early church model. However, in their day they did have those who set themselves up against the bishops and the apostolic churches. Men such as Valentinian and Simon had setup their own churches with their own bishops and even their own love (or agape) feasts. They used the same scriptures and the same names for God but they preached a\u00a0gospel\u00a0that was radically different from the one the church had received. They were men whom Polycarp would call the \"Firstborn of Satan.\" The evidence of their error was not just their teaching but also that their bishops had no connection (or lineage) back to the apostles and their churches could not trace the\u00a0heritage\u00a0back to any apostolic church. They were\u00a0completely\u00a0 found \"outside\" the altar.\n\nIgnatius reminds us of one very specific advantage to unity, when he said, \"thus you will always enjoy communion with God.\" When there is strife and\u00a0discourse\u00a0in the church, our communion with God suffers. However, when we exist harmoniously with each other and with the\u00a0bishop\u00a0and the\u00a0presbytery then our hearts are united together and our lives are as a song that rises up to God. In such unity there is not only an individual communion with God but also a corporate communion; in such unity, God is present.\n\nDavid Robison\n\n\n 1. I think unity in the Church is important--to a point. And I understand that, in the days of Ignatius, the bishops were somewhat close to the apostles themselves. But I think Ignatius makes statements here that are quite unfortunate.\n\n He says, \"Let us be careful, then, not to set ourselves in opposition to the bishop, in order that we may be subject to God.\" Is compliance with the bishop a requirement to being subject to God? What if a bishop is mistaken? Are bishops beyond criticism?\n\n As history goes forward from Ignatius, other questions arise. Does apostolic succession preserve the judgmental purity of bishops? As the eastern and wetern churces separated, which bishops should concerned Christians have followed?\n\n Many churches today are outside lines of apostolic succession. Are they not legitimate? What of those churches, such as those with congregationalist or presbyterian governments, that have no bishops", "base_doc": " each other. I'm hopeful that the NLRB will affirm it or a U.S. Court of Appeals will affirm it.\"\n\nAndrew Rempfer believes HR policies involving employee privacy laws are the next \"cutting edge\" in employment law.\n\nAs a partner at Cogburn Law Offices in Henderson, Nev., Rempfer has represented clients on both sides of the issue.

However, an employee can legally record conversations if the recorder is physically on their body; tucked in his or her shirt pocket, for example.\n\nNewsletter Sign-Up:\n\nHR Technology\nTalent Management\nHR Leadership\nInside HR Tech\nSpecial Offers\n\nEmail Address\n\nPrivacy Policy\n\nHe believes it's impractical for HR to create one policy that covers employees across state borders. \"The employee handbook would be so large that it becomes unmanageable,\" he says, explaining that privacy laws can be very different, even between neighboring states such as Nevada and California.\n\nInstead, Rempfer says HR executives need to review their employee policies every six months to ensure they're up-to-date on constantly changing employment laws. He also suggests adding a statement such as, \"We consider employee privacy to be a very serious issue and comply with all federal, state and local laws.\"\n\n\"This is going to be a burgeoning issue,\" Rempfer says, adding that it's still unclear how such state laws interact with federal laws or rulings. \"I cannot tell you how many times I hear employees state, \u2018Well, I had my recorder on or video recorder on \u2026 .' That's probably why this decision will get a lot of plaintiffs' concern and make a lot of defendants happy.\"\n\nNot every company needs a recording policy, so HR should avoid over-reacting to this case by creating one, says Joseph Godwin, a consultant at F&H Solutions Group, a labor and employment-consulting firm in Washington.\n\n\"Very few things should be jumped at automatically,\" he says. \"My first rule for a policy is don't have a policy unless you need it, and if you need it, state a clear reason for it and support it with job-related facts.\"\n\nAnother consideration: Even if an activity is legal in your state, companies can still develop a policy prohibiting it, he says. Smoking is a good example. While legal in many places, companies can support an anti-smoking policy.\n\nHR needs to ensure that every policy fits the workplace and workforce, says Godwin, explaining that companies, especially those employing a young workforce, need to assess the level of risk. If significant, consider creating a broader policy that covers the use of all personal electronic devices while at work.\n\n\"What all employers can get out of this is that there is no employee right to make recordings in the workplace,\" says Godwin. \"If you have a workforce likely to make recordings and jokes and [do] things that would do harm to your business, then you need to have a policy about it. It's something for employers to consider, not have a knee-jerk reaction to.\"\n\nCopyright 2014\u00a9 LRP Publications<|endoftext|>Little Truths\n\nBianca day II mauri 067\n\nGris-Gris is well known for its sea cliff.

Therefore in your concord and harmonious love, Jesus Christ is sung. And do ye, man by man, become a choir, that being harmonious in love, and taking up the song of God in unison, ye may with one voice sing to the Father through Jesus Christ, so that He may both hear you, and perceive by your works that ye are indeed the members of His Son. It is profitable, therefore, that you should live in an unblameable unity, that thus ye may always enjoy communion with God. (Ignatius to the Ephesians, Chapter 4)\nIn the early church, the bishop and presbyters provided oversight to the church, much like the elders in ancient Israel. However, the bishop represented the extension of the apostles and, as such, were the final\u00a0arbiter\u00a0of truth. They were the final authority as to what Jesus taught his apostles and what the apostles taught and what they\u00a0meant\u00a0by what they wrote. They were the \"keepers\" of the apostolic message of which the church was the \"pillar and support of the truth.\" (1 Timothy 3:15) They were the living definition of what it meant to be orthodox. This is why to be outside the fellowship of the bishop was to be outside the church.\n\"Let no man deceive himself: if any one be not within the altar, he is deprived of the bread of God. For if the prayer of one or two possesses such power, how much more that of the bishop and the whole Church! He, therefore, that does not assemble with the Church, has even by this manifested his pride, and condemned\u00a0himself.\" (Ignatius to the Ephesians, Chapter 5)\nIt is so hard to place ourselves back onto the situation that the early church experienced since we have drifted so far from the early church model. However, in their day they did have those who set themselves up against the bishops and the apostolic churches. Men such as Valentinian and Simon had setup their own churches with their own bishops and even their own love (or agape) feasts. They used the same scriptures and the same names for God but they preached a\u00a0gospel\u00a0that was radically different from the one the church had received. They were men whom Polycarp would call the \"Firstborn of Satan.\" The evidence of their error was not just their teaching but also that their bishops had no connection (or lineage) back to the apostles and their churches could not trace the\u00a0heritage\u00a0back to any apostolic church. They were\u00a0completely\u00a0 found \"outside\" the altar.\n\nIgnatius reminds us of one very specific advantage to unity, when he said, \"thus you will always enjoy communion with God.\" When there is strife and\u00a0discourse\u00a0in the church, our communion with God suffers. However, when we exist harmoniously with each other and with the\u00a0bishop\u00a0and the\u00a0presbytery then our hearts are united together and our lives are as a song that rises up to God. In such unity there is not only an individual communion with God but also a corporate communion; in such unity, God is present.\n\nDavid Robison\n\n\n 1. I think unity in the Church is important--to a point. And I understand that, in the days of Ignatius, the bishops were somewhat close to the apostles themselves. But I think Ignatius makes statements here that are quite unfortunate.\n\n He says, \"Let us be careful, then, not to set ourselves in opposition to the bishop, in order that we may be subject to God.\" Is compliance with the bishop a requirement to being subject to God? What if a bishop is mistaken? Are bishops beyond criticism?\n\n As history goes forward from Ignatius, other questions arise. Does apostolic succession preserve the judgmental purity of bishops? As the eastern and wetern churces separated, which bishops should concerned Christians have followed?\n\n Many churches today are outside lines of apostolic succession. Are they not legitimate? What of those churches, such as those with congregationalist or presbyterian governments, that have no bishops at all?\n\n Finally, consider the doctinal mess in the churches of apostolic succession.", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 361686, "pt_loc": 10150734, "pt_shuffle_idx": 53490398, "doc_index_f": 83853014, "doc_index_l": 83853016, "offset_f": 741, "offset_l": 958, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 20, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [722, 368, 959]} -{"pt_doc": "The recipe called for both baking powder and foot powder.

The designers try to get away with as few high-lift devices as they can afford to. But not fewer!\n\nIf you observe the trend over the years, flaps became more complex with every new airliner generation, starting from simple split flaps in the 1930s to triple-slotted flaps on the Boeing 747 in the late Sixties. But then things reversed a bit. Now double-slotted flaps are standard and lighter versions of the same type (think A318 versus A321) get away with simpler flaps.\n\nOne reason is wing tank volume. In order to cross the Atlantic, the first generation of jets needed large wing tanks which were made possible by a high wing area. Simple, single-slotted flaps were sufficient for the desired landing speeds. With the much lower fuel consumption of high-bypass engines we now can afford smaller wings with less chord, but now the flaps have to make up for what is lost in area. High-lift devices are a major part of the aircraft development effort and a lot of work goes into reducing the complexity of flaps and slats. The variable-camber Kr\u00fcger flaps of the 747 are great, but were never repeated on newer designs.\n\nEven simpler wings would be possible if the cruising altitude were higher. But there is not much benefit from climbing above the tropopause (except for strategic bombers, but their development effectively ceased half a century ago), so that is where the installed thrust is optimized for. If you want to fly higher, you need larger and more expensive engines but gain little in cruise efficiency.\n\nAnd to not retract the flaps is not an option. The larger area means that gusts can potentially put larger loads on the wing and the increased surface area would cause more friction drag. Reducing wing area saves fuel, even though the wing becomes heavier. On top, a heavily cambered wing would be completely unsuitable for transsonic flight.\n\nFlaps have become much thinner in the last half century, and for good reasons. Yes, you need a complicated load path through flap rails and into the main wing, but that is where the stiffness is for carrying large loads. That should not be duplicated in order to keep structural mass low! The effort to reduce flap complexity has led to ever thinner flaps, and the development of transsonic airfoils with their high rear camber has allowed to put more camber on the flaps as well which improves their effectiveness. Note that the fairing of the flap tracks is used for area ruling and helps to limit the transsonic drag increase.\n\n\nWhen flaps are retracted they do nothing, which is the whole point. The byproduct of lift is drag, a larger wing will create more lift, but more drag as well. More drag equals a slower cruising speed, or bigger engines to power past the drag along with higher fuel consumption. Flaps let airplanes cruise faster by getting out of the way.\n\n \u2022 2\n $\\begingroup$ Great @ABJX, so you cruise slowly at a higher altitude, which it takes longer to climb to and descend from. As a regular passenger on commercial flights I don't call that a win. On a light aircraft a higher cruising altitude has no benefits, I can already cruise high enough to need an oxygen system. $\\endgroup$ \u2013\u00a0GdD May 6 '20 at 9:57\n \u2022 3\n $\\begingroup$ You are assuming higher altitude is a good thing @ABJX.

With a 12-11 victory over the Royals before a record crowd at Network Associates Coliseum of 55,528 fans, the A's passed the 1947 Yankees and the 1906 White Sox for the longest streak in AL history.\n\nOne more victory at Minnesota on Friday, and the A's would match the 1935 Chicago Cubs at 21 for the longest winning streak in baseball other than the 26-game streak by the 1916 Giants -- which, it should be noted, actually includes a tie.\n\nForgive the A's if they can't possibly fathom the history they made Wednesday night. They were still catching their collective breath from the wildest game of the year.\n\nThey were up by 11 runs, gave up 11 runs themselves and finally won with a walk-off homer by Scott Hatteberg in the bottom of the ninth.\n\n\"I know it was a record-breaker, but I don't want to watch this one on film too much,\" an exasperated A's manager Art Howe said afterward.\n\nFor the A's, this film began as a blockbuster with plenty of high-powered action, turned into a disaster film of epic proportions and then finished with one of those endings they fire people in Hollywood for writing because they're just too darned unbelievable.\n\nHow often do you see a team jump out to an 11-0 lead after three innings but end up getting caught with 11 unanswered runs? Who watching this game in the first three innings ever would have imagined the A's getting into a save situation? And once Billy Koch, the top reliever in the American League, blew the save, who would have foreseen the quick turnaround of a game-winning homer in the bottom of the ninth?\n\nWell, actually, anybody who has been watching the A's recently might have figured out the last part.\n\nHatteberg became the hero of the day with a pinch-hit solo homer on a 1-0 fastball from Jason Grimsley. He sent the ball soaring into a delirious throng in the right-center field bleachers, and then took a jog around the bases into a delirious throng of teammates at home plate.\n\n\"How this all happened, who knows?\" said Hatteberg, at 32 among the elder statesmen in the A's clubhouse. \"It's been an awfully crazy ride. It's been very draining emotionally, definitely. But it's just been so much fun.\"\n\nFun, like one of those rides at the amusement parks that has a warning on it about people with heart conditions.\n\nWednesday's win marked the third in succession in which the A's won in their final at-bat, on the heels of Miguel Tejada's three-run homer to beat Minnesota on Sunday and Tejada's RBI single to beat these same Royals on Monday.\n\n\"The way we've won the last three games, regardless of the streak we're on, it just sends chills up your spine,\" said starter Tim Hudson, who was staked to an 11-0 lead but wound up getting a no-decision.\n\nSaid Howe: \"I'm just glad we had an offday yesterday because if these games came back-to-back-to-back, they'd be carting me out of here.\"\n\nIn this one, the A's showed their very best, and their very worst, all in one not-so-neat package that just so happened to add up to a bizarre slice of history.\n\nThis win looked like it was in the bag before the record crowd had completely filed into the stadium. With leadoff man Ray Durham lighting the fuse with a triple, the A's knocked Royals ace Paul Byrd from the game with six runs in the first. Before the Royals had recorded nine outs, all nine men in the A's lineup had scored at least one run, with the top two men in the lineup -- Durham and John Mabry -- already having crossed the plate twice. It was 11-0 after three innings.\n\nBut the Royals put up five against Hudson in the fourth inning, although only two of those runs were earned because shortstop/MVP candidate Tejada booted a potential double-play ball. Meanwhile, the bats cooled considerably, and the Royals mounted another five-run inning in the eighth, moving to within a run on Mike Sweeney's three-run homer.\n\nIn came Koch for the ninth, and the Royals manufactured another run against him to tie the game. In the end, it was just the setup for the drama Hatteberg provided in the bottom of the ninth.\n\n\"I'd rather have my name next to the 'S' than next to the 'W,' \" said Koch, who has nine saves and three victories in the streak and has pitched in Oakland's last five games. \"I was really upset I let that one get away and got us in a hole. But it just seems like if we go into the bottom of the ninth down a run or tied, we're going to pull it out.\"\n\nIt happened again Wednesday night, which is starting to seem normal with these A's. That it took an 11-run lead turning into a tie game, that was the weird part.\n\nBut, then, to the A's this whole thing's pretty weird. Don't ask them to explain their record run. They can't.\n\n\"There aren't too many words to describe it,\" Koch said. \"Awesome. Unbelievable. Wow. But I think I can put a sentence together to describe what we're going through.\"\n\nHudson gave it a shot, though.\n\n\"I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone,\" Hudson said. \"Everything's just kind of become a blur, especially with how dramatic it's all been.\"\n\nDribblers. . .: The record crowd surpassed the previous record for a regular-season crowd, which was 54,513, set on April 24 of this year when Jason Giambi was playing in his first series in Oakland with the Yankees.

With a 12-11 victory over the Royals before a record crowd at Network Associates Coliseum of 55,528 fans, the A's passed the 1947 Yankees and the 1906 White Sox for the longest streak in AL history.\n\nOne more victory at Minnesota on Friday, and the A's would match the 1935 Chicago Cubs at 21 for the longest winning streak in baseball other than the 26-game streak by the 1916 Giants -- which, it should be noted, actually includes a tie.\n\nForgive the A's if they can't possibly fathom the history they made Wednesday night. They were still catching their collective breath from the wildest game of the year.\n\nThey were up by 11 runs, gave up 11 runs themselves and finally won with a walk-off homer by Scott Hatteberg in the bottom of the ninth.\n\n\"I know it was a record-breaker, but I don't want to watch this one on film too much,\" an exasperated A's manager Art Howe said afterward.\n\nFor the A's, this film began as a blockbuster with plenty of high-powered action, turned into a disaster film of epic proportions and then finished with one of those endings they fire people in Hollywood for writing because they're just too darned unbelievable.\n\nHow often do you see a team jump out to an 11-0 lead after three innings but end up getting caught with 11 unanswered runs? Who watching this game in the first three innings ever would have imagined the A's getting into a save situation?

She assured me she could help and set to work placing needles.\n\nAs I closed my eyes, several things occurred to me: I was reminded that the brain and body cannot tell the difference between real (being chased by a lion) and imagined (ruminating on an altercation at work); I suddenly became aware of how stress FELT in my body; and I became acutely aware of exactly how it is that stress kills.\n\nI sat there with my eyes closed and did a full body scan. I began to\u00a0realize\u00a0that I have several physical tells when it comes to stress: I grit my teeth to the point of making my jaw sore; I cave in on myself, rounding my shoulders and spine; I stop breathing fully, instead taking very shallow and short breaths; and the hardest to ignore is the stress migraines.\n\nCan you imagine living with these symptoms long term? Many of us do, without even noticing.\n\nI could get into the science but instead, I\u2019m going to invite you to do some self-investigation. Do you know what your\u00a0tells are, how your body tells you you have too much stress? If you don\u2019t, here\u2019s your opportunity to consider it. I want you to do this for one reason: if you KNOW, you can do something about it and sooner.\n\nInformation is power. You cannot address something when you don\u2019t know it\u2019s going on. Stress is unavoidable, but it IS within our power to mitigate its effects. Mitigating those effects can be the difference between a long and healthy life and one of chronic illness.\n\nUltimately, it is up to you to know your body and do something about it.\n\nHave a lovely weekend!<|endoftext|>Caduceus him section the workbench so he can free up more\n\nskat vurdering | 10.08.2019\n\nWhile limitless off non-standard appropriate to a mate\u2019s tools can be cunning if Dad likes things a unerring velocity, it can also be the", "base_doc": "ance of this holy day.

People traditionally offer early morning prayers, recite the verses from the holy Quran and perform donations and charities.\n\nJamat Ul-Vida Observances\n\n\u0ab5\u0ab0\u0acd\u0ab7 \u0ab8\u0aaa\u0acd\u0aa4\u0abe\u0ab9 \u0aa8\u0abe \u0aa6\u0abf\u0ab5\u0ab8 \u0aa4\u0abe\u0ab0\u0ac0\u0a96 \u0aa8\u0abe\u0aae \u0ab0\u0a9c\u0abe\u0a93 \u0aa8\u0abe \u0aaa\u0acd\u0ab0\u0a95\u0abe\u0ab0\n2019 \u0ab6\u0ac1\u0a95\u0acd\u0ab0 31 \u0aae\u0ac7 Jamat Ul-Vida \u0aaa\u0acd\u0ab0\u0aa4\u0abf\u0aac\u0a82\u0aa7\u0abf\u0aa4 \u0ab0\u0a9c\u0abe\n2020 \u0ab6\u0ac1\u0a95\u0acd\u0ab0 22 \u0aae\u0ac7 Jamat Ul-Vida \u0aaa\u0acd\u0ab0\u0aa4\u0abf\u0aac\u0a82\u0aa7\u0abf\u0aa4 \u0ab0\u0a9c\u0abe\n2021 \u0ab6\u0ac1\u0a95\u0acd\u0ab0 7 \u0aae\u0ac7 Jamat Ul-Vida \u0aaa\u0acd\u0ab0\u0aa4\u0abf\u0aac\u0a82\u0aa7\u0abf\u0aa4 \u0ab0\u0a9c\u0abe\n2022 \u0ab6\u0ac1\u0a95\u0acd\u0ab0 29 \u0a8f\u0aaa\u0acd\u0ab0\u0abf\u0ab2 Jamat Ul-Vida \u0aaa\u0acd\u0ab0\u0aa4\u0abf\u0aac\u0a82\u0aa7\u0abf\u0aa4 \u0ab0\u0a9c\u0abe\n2023 \u0ab6\u0ac1\u0a95\u0acd\u0ab0 21 \u0a8f\u0aaa\u0acd\u0ab0\u0abf\u0ab2 Jamat Ul-Vida \u0aaa\u0acd\u0ab0\u0aa4\u0abf\u0aac\u0a82\u0aa7\u0abf\u0aa4 \u0ab0\u0a9c\u0abe\n2024 \u0ab6\u0ac1\u0a95\u0acd\u0ab0 5 \u0a8f\u0aaa\u0acd\u0ab0\u0abf\u0ab2 Jamat Ul-Vida \u0aaa\u0acd\u0ab0\u0aa4\u0abf\u0aac\u0a82\u0aa7\u0abf\u0aa4 \u0ab0\u0a9c\u0abe\n2025 \u0ab8\u0acb\u0aae 31 \u0aae\u0abe\u0ab0\u0acd\u0a9a Jamat Ul-Vida \u0aaa\u0acd\u0ab0\u0aa4\u0abf\u0aac\u0a82\u0aa7\u0abf\u0aa4 \u0ab0\u0a9c\u0abe\n\n\n1.

She assured me she could help and set to work placing needles.\n\nAs I closed my eyes, several things occurred to me: I was reminded that the brain and body cannot tell the difference between real (being chased by a lion) and imagined (ruminating on an altercation at work); I suddenly became aware of how stress FELT in my body; and I became acutely aware of exactly how it is that stress kills.\n\nI sat there with my eyes closed and did a full body scan. I began to\u00a0realize\u00a0that I have several physical tells when it comes to stress: I grit my teeth to the point of making my jaw sore; I cave in on myself, rounding my shoulders and spine; I stop breathing fully, instead taking very shallow and short breaths; and the hardest to ignore is the stress migraines.\n\nCan you imagine living with these symptoms long term? Many of us do, without even noticing.\n\nI could get into the science but instead, I\u2019m going to invite you to do some self-investigation. Do you know what your\u00a0tells are, how your body tells you you have too much stress? If you don\u2019t, here\u2019s your opportunity to consider it. I want you to do this for one reason: if you KNOW, you can do something about it and sooner.\n\nInformation is power. You cannot address something when you don\u2019t know it\u2019s going on. Stress is unavoidable, but it IS within our power to mitigate its effects. Mitigating those effects can be the difference between a long and healthy life and one of chronic illness.\n\nUltimately, it is up to you to know your body and do something about it.\n\nHave a lovely weekend!<|endoftext|>Caduceus him section the workbench so he can free up more\n\nskat vurdering | 10.08.2019\n\nWhile limitless off non-standard appropriate to a mate\u2019s tools can be cunning if Dad likes things a unerring velocity, it can also be the adroit cheap Prime mover\u2019s Reference book gift.

Methodical attempts to find solid evidence of its existence have led to recordings of strange animal noises and unexplained fluctuations in the lake's fish population.

What distinguishes homosexual discrimination from prior discriminations in the name of religion?\n\nSo, does our constitution prevent certain discrimination so that the majority cannot oppress the minority? Or is there a new \u201cseparate but equal\u201d movement?\n\nThe fundamental question that arises from this issue (of whether private corporations, groups, businesses and individuals should be prohibited from refusing services offered to the public based on a person being homosexual) is what kind of society is America. Are we a society that accepts the absolute and unconditional right of association, or that prevents groups from discriminating based on core concepts human equality?\n\nIt is true that the First Amendment protects the right of association. No person can be forced to associate with people with whom they choose not to associate. For example, government cannot force a person who believes homosexuality is wrong to support or join a gay and lesbian organization. Similarly, government cannot force people to attend a Christian church. Society and courts have always held that the First Amendment prevents government from forced associations. But is right of association the same as being able to refuse services to people based on sex, religion, race or political belief?\n\nIn the absolute and unconditional sense of the phrase \"right of association,\" being able to discriminate against people based on these facts is included. If I own a business and I do not want to offer services to a certain race of people or to certain religious sects, the \"right of association\" would support my ability to refuse services to those people. However, American society has long rejected such an absolute right of association. And those who argue that the right of association is absolute and unconditional right of association will likely have a difficult time explaining that private companies, including the health care industry, have a right to refuse services to, say, black people, homosexuals or Muslims.\n\nI venture to say that hardly any \"conservative\" would argue that we should repeal state and federal civil rights laws and allow private companies, groups and associations who offer services to the public to refuse services based on sex, religion, race or political belief. This indicates that America is, in practice, a society that rejects the absolute and unconditional right of association relative to the areas prohibited by these laws. This is why state laws that essentially legalize private discrimination against homosexuals are going to run into legal, political and societal problems. Again, think about a hospital owned by a religious group. Will society really allow these kinds of services to be denied homosexuals based on religion objection?\n\nI suspect that some \"conservatives\" will take the issue too far by saying if states cannot protect private discrimination against homosexuals then the government will force churches and other religious groups to allow homosexuals to hold membership and positions of leadership. But those persons would be wrong, because this is where the First Amendment protects the right of association.\n\nChurches have been discriminating against people based on sexual considerations since the United States' existence and even after the civil rights laws were passed. For example, some Christian churches believe the Bible teaches that women cannot be pastors; thus, they refuse to allow women to teach the Bible and hold other leadership positions. The same is true concerning homosexuals. This is sex discrimination, but federal courts continually protect that practice, holding that the First Amendment guarantees the right of religious liberty.\n\nThis right of association and religion includes the right of churches to chose its ministers and employees and to set the terms of their employment.\u00a0 One federal court articulated the First Amendment's application this way:\n\nThe First Amendment protects a churchchurch's right to hire, fire, promote, and assign duties to its ministers as it sees fit not because churches are exempt from all employment regulations (for they are not), but rather because judicial review of those particular employment actions would interfere with rights guaranteed by the First Amendment. (Elvig v. Calvin Presbyterian Church, 397 F.3d 790, 792-793 (9th Cir. Wash. 2005)).\nReligious groups do not need a statute to protect what the courts already hold is protected by the First Amendment. It appears that the intent of Indiana's statute then is to protect private discrimination of non-profit groups that deny public services to homosexuals, just as laws used not to prohibit private discrimination against minority races, women and non-Christians.\nI suppose if America's majority rejects the civil rights laws and their undergirding principles of human equality and instead re-imposes the absolute and unconditional right of association then states will be allowed to protect private discrimination against homosexuals. I do not see this as happening in American, however. So, as long as America remains a society that prohibits certain private discrimination based on sex, religion, race and political belief then courts will view state laws like the one in Indiana with heightened scrunity.\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 Liberty Defense League Newsletter\nEmail Address: \u00a0\nFirst Name:\nLast Name:\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 Search Articles<|endoftext|>6: The Cattle\n\nCruelty and Violence\nGood Stuff\n\nPrevious | Next\n\nSkeptic's Annotated Quran\n\nGet the SAB\non CD\n\nAbsurdity in Surah 6\n\n 1. \"See they not how many a generation We destroyed?\"\n How could they (or anyone else who wasn't there) see Allah destroy previous generations? 6:6\n\n 2.

What distinguishes homosexual discrimination from prior discriminations in the name of religion?\n\nSo, does our constitution prevent certain discrimination so that the majority cannot oppress the minority? Or is there a new \u201cseparate but equal\u201d movement?\n\nThe fundamental question that arises from this issue (of whether private corporations, groups, businesses and individuals should be prohibited from refusing services offered to the public based on a person being homosexual) is what kind of society is America. Are we a society that accepts the absolute and unconditional right of association, or that prevents groups from discriminating based on core concepts human equality?\n\nIt is true that the First Amendment protects the right of association. No person can be forced to associate with people with whom they choose not to associate. For example, government cannot force a person who believes homosexuality is wrong to support or join a gay and lesbian organization. Similarly, government cannot force people to attend a Christian church. Society and courts have always held that the First Amendment prevents government from forced associations. But is right of association the same as being able to refuse services to people based on sex, religion, race or political belief?\n\nIn the absolute and unconditional sense of the phrase \"right of association,\" being able to discriminate against people based on these facts is included. If I own a business and I do not want to offer services to a certain race of people or to certain religious sects, the \"right of association\" would support my ability to refuse services to those people. However, American society has long rejected such an absolute right of association.

Destroy this monopoly, and industry must become the co-operation of equals.\n\nV.\u2014From Governmental Direction and Interference.\n\n\nThe limits within which I wish to keep this book will not permit an examination in detail of the methods in which it is proposed to mitigate or extirpate poverty by governmental regulation of industry and accumulation, and which in their most thorough-going form are called socialistic. Nor is it necessary, for the same defects attach to them all. These are the substitution of governmental direction for the play of individual action, and the attempt to secure by restriction what can better be secured by freedom. As to the truths that are involved in socialistic ideas I shall have something to say hereafter; but it is evident that whatever savors of regulation and restriction is in itself bad, and should not be resorted to if any other mode of accomplishing the same end presents itself. For instance, to take one of the simplest and mildest of the class of measures I refer to\u2014a graduated tax on incomes. The object at which it aims, the reduction or prevention of immense concentrations of wealth, is good; but this means involves the employment of a large number of officials clothed with inquisitorial powers; temptations to bribery, and perjury, and all other means of evasion, which beget a demoralization of opinion, and put a premium upon unscrupulousness and a tax upon conscience; and, finally, just in proportion as the tax accomplishes its effect, a lessening in the incentive to the accumulation of wealth, which is one of the strong forces of industrial progress. While, if the elaborate schemes for regulating everything and finding a place for everybody could be carried out, we should have a state of society resembling that of ancient Peru, or that which, to their eternal honor, the Jesuits instituted and so long maintained in Paraguay.\n\n\nI will not say that such a state as this is not a better social state than that to which we now seem to be tending, for in ancient Peru, though production went on under the greatest disadvantages, from the want of iron and the domestic animals, yet there was no such thing as want, and the people went to their work with songs. But this it is unnecessary to discuss. Socialism in anything approaching such a form, modern society cannot successfully attempt. The only force that has ever proved competent for it\u2014a strong and definite religious faith\u2014is wanting and is daily growing less. We have passed out of the socialism of the tribal state, and cannot re-enter it again except by a retrogression that would involve anarchy and perhaps barbarism. Our governments, as is already plainly evident, would break down in the attempt. Instead of an intelligent award of duties and earnings, we should have a Roman distribution of Sicilian corn, and the demagogue would soon become the Imperator.\n\n\nThe ideal of socialism is grand and noble; and it is, I am convinced, possible of realization; but such a state of society cannot be manufactured\u2014it must grow. Society is an organism, not a machine. It can live only by the individual life of its parts. And in the free and natural development of all the parts will be secured the harmony of the whole. All that is necessary to social regeneration is included in the motto of those Russian patriots sometimes called Nihilists\u2014\"Land and Liberty!\"\n\nVI.\u2014From a More General Distribution of Land.\n\n\nThere is a rapidly growing feeling that the tenure of land is in some manner connected with the social distress which manifests itself in the most progressive countries; but this feeling as yet mostly shows itself in propositions which look to the more general division of landed property\u2014in England, free trade in land, tenant right, or the equal partition of landed estates among heirs; in the United States, restrictions upon the size of individual holdings. It has been also proposed in England that the state should buy out the landlords, and in the United States that grants of money should be made to enable the settlements of colonies upon public lands. The former proposition let us pass for the present; the latter, so far as its distinctive feature is concerned, falls into the category of the measures considered in the last section. It needs no argument to show to what abuses and demoralization grants of public money or credit would lead.\n\n\nHow what the English writers call \"free trade in land\"\u2014the removal of duties and restrictions upon conveyances\u2014could facilitate the division of ownership in agricultural land, I cannot see, though it might to some extent have that effect as regards town property. The removal of restrictions upon buying and selling would merely permit the ownership of land to assume more quickly the form to which it tends. Now, that the tendency in Great Britain is to concentration is shown by the fact that, in spite of the difficulties interposed by the cost of transfer, land ownership has been and is steadily concentrating there, and that this tendency is a general one is shown by the fact that the same process of concentration is observable in the United States. I say this unhesitatingly in regard to the United States, although statistical tables are sometimes quoted to show a different tendency. But how, in such a country as the United States, the ownership of land may be really concentrating, while census tables show rather a diminution in the average size of holdings, is readily seen. As land is brought into use, and, with the growth of population, passes from a lower to a higher or intenser use, the size of holdings tends to diminish. A small stock range would be a large farm, a small farm would be a large orchard, vineyard, nursery, or vegetable garden, and a patch of land which would be small even for these purposes would make a very large city property. Thus, the growth of population, which puts lands to higher or intenser uses, tends naturally to reduce the size of holdings, by a process very marked in new countries; but with this may go on a tendency to the concentration of land ownership, which, though not revealed by tables which show the average size of holdings, is just as clearly seen. Average holdings of one acre in a city may show a much greater concentration of land ownership than average holdings of 640 acres in a newly settled township. I refer to this to show the fallacy in the deductions drawn from the tables which are frequently paraded in the United States to show that land monopoly is an evil that will cure itself. On the contrary, it is obvious that the proportion of land owners to the whole population is constantly decreasing.\n\n\nAnd that there is in the United States, as there is in Great Britain, a strong tendency to the concentration of land ownership in agriculture is clearly seen. As, in England and Ireland, small farms are being thrown into larger ones, so in New England, according to the reports of the Massachusetts Bureau of Labor Statistics, is the size of farms increasing. This tendency is even more clearly noticeable in the newer States and Territories. Only a few years ago a farm of 320 acres would, under the system of agriculture prevailing in the northern parts of the Union, have anywhere been a large one, probably as much as one man could cultivate to advantage. In California now there are farms (not cattle ranges) of five, ten, twenty, forty and sixty thousand acres, while the model farm of Dakota embraces 100,000 acres. The reason is obvious. It is the application of machinery to agriculture and the general tendency to production on a large scale. The same tendency which substitutes the factory, with its army of operatives, for many independent hand-loom weavers, is beginning to exhibit itself in agriculture.\n\n\nNow, the existence of this tendency shows two things: first, that any measures which merely permit or facilitate the greater subdivision of land would be inoperative; and, second, that any measures which would compel it would have a tendency to check production. If land in large bodies can be cultivated more cheaply than land in small bodies, to restrict ownership to small bodies will reduce the aggregate production of wealth, and, in so far as such restrictions are imposed and take effect, will they tend to diminish the general productiveness of labor and capital.\n\n\nThe effort, therefore, to secure a fairer division of wealth by such restrictions is liable to the drawback of lessening the amount to be divided. The device is like that of the monkey, who, dividing the cheese between the cats, equalized matters by taking a bite off the biggest piece.\n\n\nBut there is not merely this objection, which weighs against every proposition to restrict the ownership of land, with a force that increases with the efficiency of the proposed measure. There is the further and fatal objection that restriction will not secure the end which is alone worth aiming at\u2014a fair division of the produce. It will not reduce rent, and therefore cannot increase wages. It may make the comfortable classes larger, but will not improve the condition of those in the lowest class.\n\n\nIf what is known as the Ulster tenant right were extended to the whole of Great Britain, it would be but to carve out of the estate of the landlord an estate for the tenant. The condition of the laborer would not be a whit improved. If landlords were prohibited from asking an increase of rent from their tenants and from ejecting a tenant so long as the fixed rent was paid, the body of the producers would gain nothing. Economic rent would still increase, and would still steadily lessen the proportion of the produce going to labor and capital. The only difference would be", "base_doc": " producers for its use forces wages to a minimum and gives all the advantage of increasing productive power to land owners, in higher rents and increased land values. Destroy this monopoly, and competition could exist only to accomplish the end which co-operation aims at\u2014to give to each what he fairly earns. Destroy this monopoly, and industry must become the co-operation of equals.\n\nV.\u2014From Governmental Direction and Interference.\n\n\nThe limits within which I wish to keep this book will not permit an examination in detail of the methods in which it is proposed to mitigate or extirpate poverty by governmental regulation of industry and accumulation, and which in their most thorough-going form are called socialistic. Nor is it necessary, for the same defects attach to them all.

While, if the elaborate schemes for regulating everything and finding a place for everybody could be carried out, we should have a state of society resembling that of ancient Peru, or that which, to their eternal honor, the Jesuits instituted and so long maintained in Paraguay.\n\n\nI will not say that such a state as this is not a better social state than that to which we now seem to be tending, for in ancient Peru, though production went on under the greatest disadvantages, from the want of iron and the domestic animals, yet there was no such thing as want, and the people went to their work with songs. But this it is unnecessary to discuss. Socialism in anything approaching such a form, modern society cannot successfully attempt. The only force that has ever proved competent for it\u2014a strong and definite religious faith\u2014is wanting and is daily growing less. We have passed out of the socialism of the tribal state, and cannot re-enter it again except by a retrogression that would involve anarchy and perhaps barbarism. Our governments, as is already plainly evident, would break down in the attempt. Instead of an intelligent award of duties and earnings, we should have a Roman distribution of Sicilian corn, and the demagogue would soon become the Imperator.\n\n\nThe ideal of socialism is grand and noble; and it is, I am convinced, possible of realization; but such a state of society cannot be manufactured\u2014it must grow. Society is an organism, not a machine. It can live only by the individual life of its parts. And in the free and natural development of all the parts will be secured the harmony of the whole. All that is necessary to social regeneration is included in the motto of those Russian patriots sometimes called Nihilists\u2014\"Land and Liberty!\"\n\nVI.\u2014From a More General Distribution of Land.\n\n\nThere is a rapidly growing feeling that the tenure of land is in some manner connected with the social distress which manifests itself in the most progressive countries; but this feeling as yet mostly shows itself in propositions which look to the more general division of landed property\u2014in England, free trade in land, tenant right, or the equal partition of landed estates among heirs; in the United States, restrictions upon the size of individual holdings. It has been also proposed in England that the state should buy out the landlords, and in the United States that grants of money should be made to enable the settlements of colonies upon public lands. The former proposition let us pass for the present; the latter, so far as its distinctive feature is concerned, falls into the category of the measures considered in the last section. It needs no argument to show to what abuses and demoralization grants of public money or credit would lead.\n\n\nHow what the English writers call \"free trade in land\"\u2014the removal of duties and restrictions upon conveyances\u2014could facilitate the division of ownership in agricultural land, I cannot see, though it might to some extent have that effect as regards town property. The removal of restrictions upon buying and selling would merely permit the ownership of land to assume more quickly the form to which it tends. Now, that the tendency in Great Britain is to concentration is shown by the fact that, in spite of the difficulties interposed by the cost of transfer, land ownership has been and is steadily concentrating there, and that this tendency is a general one is shown by the fact that the same process of concentration is observable in the United States. I say this unhesitatingly in regard to the United States, although statistical tables are sometimes quoted to show a different tendency. But how, in such a country as the United States, the ownership of land may be really concentrating, while census tables show rather a diminution in the average size of holdings, is readily seen. As land is brought into use, and, with the growth of population, passes from a lower to a higher or intenser use, the size of holdings tends to diminish. A small stock range would be a large farm, a small farm would be a large orchard, vineyard, nursery, or vegetable garden, and a patch of land which would be small even for these purposes would make a very large city property. Thus, the growth of population, which puts lands to higher or intenser uses, tends naturally to reduce the size of holdings, by a process very marked in new countries; but with this may go on a tendency to the concentration of land ownership, which, though not revealed by tables which show the average size of holdings, is just as clearly seen. Average holdings of one acre in a city may show a much greater concentration of land ownership than average holdings of 640 acres in a newly settled township. I refer to this to show the fallacy in the deductions drawn from the tables which are frequently paraded in the United States to show that land monopoly is an evil that will cure itself. On the contrary, it is obvious that the proportion of land owners to the whole population is constantly decreasing.\n\n\nAnd that there is in the United States, as there is in Great Britain, a strong tendency to the concentration of land ownership in agriculture is clearly seen. As, in England and Ireland, small farms are being thrown into larger ones, so in New England, according to the reports of the Massachusetts Bureau of Labor Statistics, is the size of farms increasing. This tendency is even more clearly noticeable in the newer States and Territories. Only a few years ago a farm of 320 acres would, under the system of agriculture prevailing in the northern parts of the Union, have anywhere been a large one, probably as much as one man could cultivate to advantage. In California now there are farms (not cattle ranges) of five, ten, twenty, forty and sixty thousand acres, while the model farm of Dakota embraces 100,000 acres. The reason is obvious. It is the application of machinery to agriculture and the general tendency to production on a large scale. The same tendency which substitutes the factory, with its army of operatives, for many independent hand-loom weavers, is beginning to exhibit itself in agriculture.\n\n\nNow, the existence of this tendency shows two things: first, that any measures which merely permit or facilitate the greater subdivision of land would be inoperative; and, second, that any measures which would compel it would have a tendency to check production. If land in large bodies can be cultivated more cheaply than land in small bodies, to restrict ownership to small bodies will reduce the aggregate production of wealth, and, in so far as such restrictions are imposed and take effect, will they tend to diminish the general productiveness of labor and capital.\n\n\nThe effort, therefore, to secure a fairer division of wealth by such restrictions is liable to the drawback of lessening the amount to be divided. The device is like that of the monkey, who, dividing the cheese between the cats, equalized matters by taking a bite off the biggest piece.\n\n\nBut there is not merely this objection, which weighs against every proposition to restrict the ownership of land, with a force that increases with the efficiency of the proposed measure. There is the further and fatal objection that restriction will not secure the end which is alone worth aiming at\u2014a fair division of the produce. It will not reduce rent, and therefore cannot increase wages. It may make the comfortable classes larger, but will not improve the condition of those in the lowest class.\n\n\nIf what is known as the Ulster tenant right were extended to the whole of Great Britain, it would be but to carve out of the estate of the landlord an estate for the tenant. The condition of the laborer would not be a whit improved. If landlords were prohibited from asking an increase of rent from their tenants and from ejecting a tenant so long as the fixed rent was paid, the body of the producers would gain nothing. Economic rent would still increase, and would still steadily lessen the proportion of the produce going to labor and capital. The only difference would be that the tenants of the first landlords, who would become landlords in their turn, would profit by", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 374774, "pt_loc": 32698315, "pt_shuffle_idx": 227791548, "doc_index_f": 357067428, "doc_index_l": 357067428, "offset_f": 7888, "offset_l": 9936, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 21, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": " on their networks.\u00a0 In Denmark, many politicians support legislation that monitors citizens in violation of the European Court of Justice judgment of December 2016.

He\u2019s a fantasic young man, but visiting with him, especially in my home town, brought me back to when I was his age and trying to work out my place in the world. This post, and hopefully a few others that will follow are both a letter to him, and the voice of an older man attempting to pass on all the wisdom that 48 years of hard knocks and stupid mistakes can provide.\n\nA long time ago, at least as reckoned in internet years, I worked in the software industry. It was an interesting field to make a living in, especially at the small \u201cstartups\u201d where I worked. Its a field custom made for people who like to wear a lot of hats, can think on their feet, and can learn quickly. One of the phrases I learned from that experience was substituting the term feature for the term bug. It was used when someone complained about a bug in your software. What you did was deny there was a bug, and instead claimed it was an undocumented feature. The concept is nothing but pure marketing bravado. The phrase was referred to often by everyone in the industry, but I never actually saw it in use. It is an inside joke about the nadir of software marketing finesse, and it is an expression of the deep anxiety that one feels when they know they are selling a less than perfect piece of software.\n\nThat being said, the saying does have its uses. And one of those uses is in looking at your future.\n\nYou see a lot of people go around with the annoying confidence that comes of knowing what they want to do for a living. It is trifling easy to be angry at such individuals, especially if you are like me, someone who has never known what they wanted to \u201cbe\u201d. And it is easy to look at yourself and assume there is something wrong with you for not being like those other \u201cknowers\u201d. After years and years of living as a \u201cnot knower,\u201d I now contend that the bug of not knowing is actually a feature; that not knowing is actually better than knowing.\n\nTo support this contention, lets us first look at the causes of not knowing.\n\nNot knowing your future avocation does not stem from a lack of ability. Far from it. In fact, not knowing usually stems from an overabundance of ability. It is when you can literally do almost everything and anything that choosing a direction has a consequence. Those poor mundane souls with less IQ and raw ability do not share our quandary. They do not wake up thinking, \u201cFuck! I wonder if I should be a brain surgeon?\u201d\u00a0 Why? Because they recognize it is not something they will ever be able to do. They understand their choices in life might be between being a auto mechanic and a security guard. Being a brain surgeon is simply not on their list, more importantly neither is the existential angst associated with making that choice. When your choices are fewer, you have a lot less to get wrong. Which can be translated to, when you have less options, you have less to be depressed about. True, you could be an auto mechanic, if that is what makes you happy, but you can also be a brain surgeon, and therein lies the rub. You at least, have the option for both choices, and because of this, have the anxiety that goes with it.\n\nSo not knowing is a position of ability, not disability. It carries with it an anxiety based upon a greater risk than most people face; a greater chance of success (and presumably failure) than your less well thought peers. Fortunately for us, we both have been though therapy, and have a decent idea of how to deal with anxiety. Who knew that depression would eventually prepare you for a career? Funny how that works, eh?\n\nBut there is another reason why not knowing is a feature, not a bug, and that has to do with a thing called change.\n\nYou see, one of the ever constants of the universe is change. It is easy to miss this as a young man (I know I did), or to discount its value, but either position would doing yourself a disservice. By change I mean that we all face several massive changes in our lives, and quite frankly most of them we are not expecting or well prepared for. This is just how life goes. An auto accident, a random chance with cancer, a bit too much alcohol, a casual word misspoken, all of these things (and more, much much more) can, and will, fuck up our lives. Hey, shit happens. The thing is, our avocation is just as open to big change as any other part of our lives. For you, having to change careers would be a pain, maybe even a major inconvenience, but it would not necessarily be crippling. Why? Because you are not \u201cset\u201d on a particular career, you are merely doing the one that came along (and looks best) now. Now imagine the poor slob who, unlike us, knew exactly what he wanted for all of his life, and suddenly discovers he can no longer work in that field. What will he do? Panic, I tell you. That and more. Depression would be the least of his issues, as his self-identity will be taken out from under him. Why? Because he is now facing what you and I have had to deal with for all of our lives; not knowing. Only he will be terribly unprepared for this ordeal as it will be new to him. And \u201cnew\u201d is not a nice word to those who have their lives all planed out. In essence, change has brought this man down to our default position (not knowing) and it is terrifying to him.\n\nSo who is the strong one here, and who is the weak?\n\nThere\u2019s more to my position than just the two arguments above. For instance, there is a very good chance that 20 years from now you will have a thriving career in a field that has not yet been invented. Don\u2019t believe me? This is exactly my position. 20 years ago there were no digital retouchers. Today there are thousands. There was no school, no college, no way of learning what I do for a living, short of trying it out and seeing if you could do it. What engineers call trial and error. And yet, I make very good money at it, and find the job deeply fulfilling. I see no reason why you cannot have a similar experience as my own. Based on the rate of change I see happening today I suspect you have a much great chance than I ever did, of working a job which has not yet been invented.\n\nAnd when such future jobs become available, who do you think is going to be better prepared to switch to them from the field they are in? A knower or a not knower? Who is going to be less entrenched in their field? Who is going to have less of their identity tied up in their job, and more of their identity tied up in themselves? The answer to all of these is the not knower. In other words, men like us.\n\nSo you see, knowing you future doesn\u2019t necessarily give you one.\n\nSolo or group?\n\nThe fantasy author Kate Griffin has an interesting blog post on what it is like for an author (normally a loner by nature) to work in a group environment.

The rock slid back a half inch, accompanied by the sound of stone on stone. He held his breath, waiting, listening for further grinding sounds, for the sound of settling rocks-the sounds of certain death.\n\nBut no sounds came. He let his breath out in a long sigh of relieved tension. No point in relaxing, he told himself, I'm just going to have to go through it a dozen more times until I clear this rock.\n\n\"Just a little more, Will,\" said his friend Samuel, who stood behind him in the cramped cave, watching for any signs of settling. Will could only grunt in response. The light from Samuel's mining helmet jittered from side to side, up and down, bouncing all over the rough gray rock that filled Will's hands.

He was wedged into the crawl space that he and Samuel and Douglas had made during the last three days. The space was part of a much larger tunnel that led steadily down into the mountain.

He had to move it right, he had to move it just so. The boulders surrounding him were remnants of an ancient cave-in. You couldn't tell how these rocks settled against one another.

Will heard his own labored breathing as he wrestled with the rock, which had already split open two of his knuckles. His breath sounded loud-not because of the claustrophobically confined space, but because there were no background sounds. A hundred yards into the cave and all sound ceased. Not even the insects made noise, although that far down the insects were strange indeed-blind crickets with fragile antenna twice as long as their body, tiny beetles that burrowed ceaselessly into the sand, and ghostly-white, long-legged spiders that had never felt the faintest trickle of sun.\n\n\"Keep that fucking light still!\" Samuel was really beginning to annoy him. To Sam, the opportunity to take the cave deep into the mountain's layers-to travel into the mountain as if they were a blood cell in the circulatory system of the very stone itself-was like heaven on Earth. Sam couldn't wait to get through this cave-in and continue exploring the tunnel. Will wanted to know what lay beyond as well, but for the moment he didn't give a good goddamn about the tunnel or geology or the fact that he had to piss like a racehorse.

The rock slid back a half inch, accompanied by the sound of stone on stone. He held his breath, waiting, listening for further grinding sounds, for the sound of settling rocks-the sounds of certain death.\n\nBut no sounds came. He let his breath out in a long sigh of relieved tension. No point in relaxing, he told himself, I'm just going to have to go through it a dozen more times until I clear this rock.\n\n\"Just a little more, Will,\" said his friend Samuel, who stood behind him in the cramped cave, watching for any signs of settling. Will could only grunt in response. The light from Samuel's mining helmet jittered from side to side, up and down, bouncing all over the rough gray rock that filled Will's hands. Will's own helmet lay behind him and to the right-he'd had to take it off to squeeze into the narrow crawl space among the cluster of ancient boulders.\n\nThe headlamps' illumination was the first light this pitch-black place had known in decades, possibly centuries.

But it made my Dad decide not to drive, I checked the trains but the ones that run through Maidstone, where my parents live and I grew up, came from the east of Kent, which got hit harder by the bad weather. So I was stuck there until this morning. We had a day of snow that turned to rain yesterday which got rid of all the snow.\n\nFeeding Time\nImpressive Tree\nThe Old Forest in Winter\nA Winter Graveyard\n\nI went for a walk on Thursday, the first walk I'd taken round the village they lived in since I left it eleven years ago. I walked the route I used to do as a paper-round, the way I used to walk to school, and the way to where my best friend used to live. So little seemed to have changed in fifteen years. There's still a few horses in the field down Forstal Lane, they could have been there the last time I walked there.\n\nChristmas Day at Dymchurch\nMartello Tower at Dymchurch\n\nWe've got a little Christmas morning tradition in our family. It's all of two years old. We drive down to the coast and walk on the beach before heading to wherever we are having dinner. This year we drove down to Dymchurch, a couple of miles from Dungerness. We used to go down there for holidays, there wasn't much to do but sit on the beach, swim in the pool, and go on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch miniature railway. Of course, the place is uninhabitable for about ten months of the year because of the biting wind, so we didn't stay too long.\n\nWe drove back to Maidstone, we were having Christmas dinner at a pub near to where my sister and brother-in-law live. I can't remember if I mentioned but they are moving back to Coxheath in a few weeks. They'll be living at the south end of the village, my brother-in-laws parents live over the east side and my parents in the north. Ever since she got a car my sister has somehow managed to get progressively closer to where she started, before she drove she had a boyfriend up in Liverpool for a couple of months. They'd hoped to have moved in for Christmas but things got delayed for a couple of weeks when the buyer for their current place pulled out and had to be replaced by someone else.\n\nAfter the meal, which was nice but nothing special, we collected their dog, Scrumpy, and went for a walk down by the river. The River Medway, when it passes through Maidstone, isn't that nice.

For example, in the 1800s, 80 percent of American jobs were on farms. Today, fewer than 2 percent of Americans work on farms due to the mechanization of farming. Machines will phase out more and more repetitive tasks, paving the way for new types of jobs like engineers and data analysts to build and code these new machines.

Models can be bought in blister packs, small box sets, large box sets and army deal box sets. Other manufacturers 15mm figures can be used to play FoW if a player with an existing 15mm army wants to get into the game. Battlefront have also publicly stated on several occasions that other manufacturers models are fine to be used in tournaments where FoW is being played. All Battlefront asks is that other manufacturers models are not displayed or talked about on the official Flames of War discussion forums ( It is general consensus among most FoW players that Battlefronts figures are the best quality sculptures available in 15mm with the greatest levels of detail.\n\nBattlefront produces models for ground forces, such as infantry, vehicles and field guns, and in mid 2006 released sets of 1/144 aircraft. (Hurricane II, JU-87 'Stuka', Il-2 'Shturmovik' and P-40 'Warhawk')\n\nFlames of War miniatures are available direct from Battlefront, but can also be picked up in many good hobby and wargames shops, as well as some toy retailers, though most 15mm World War II miniatures can work so long as they are based the same as the official minis.\n\nUnlike many historical wargames the miniatures for Flames of war are packaged in such a way as to simplify building a force. Each pack will include the bases for the figures inside the package as well as most of the options you can field the force with. Many of the blisters or boxed sets actually include everything you need to field a full platoon of that type, though some will require the purchase of additional blisters in order to field a full platoon. This has added to the game's appeal of being easy to get into.\n\nGale Force 9 has also been releasing licensed products for the game including an artillery template, army specific counters/markers and most recently announced magnetic base kits.\n\nt depicted on the board but rather is assumed to be firing bombardments from a considerable distance from the battlefield. Also the fact that game initiative is a IGOUGO turn-based system and lacks opportunity fire are common complaints from those who play more traditional miniatures wargames which try to more accurately simulate warfare instead of focusing on the gaming aspect. Also the forces are \"points based\" to allow for easy pickup play and tournament play, whereas most historical miniatures wargames tend to be accurate depictions of actual battles with forces representative of those that were actually at the battle and were not always \"balanced\".\n\nOther historical wargamers have embraced Flames of War for its appeal to gamers who previously hadn't played historical games and its ability to be a \"one stop shop\" to introduce people not only to World War II historical gaming but also to miniatures wargaming in general. Though the mechanics differ greatly from most historical wargames many feel that the end results are quite similar and realistic. They view Flames of War as a great \"entry\" game to historical wargaming and hope that it will increase interest in other more traditional systems and periods of historical wargaming.\n\nSome gamers accuse Battlefront of using Games Workshop type marketing tactics with their sleek full color presentation and release of various sourcebooks as opposed to many traditional historical wargames which usually have a \"no frills\" presentation value (often being xeroxed pages stapled together) but are much more affordably priced and do not add sourcebooks to gameplay.\n\nSome have accused Battlefront of requiring players to buy sourcebooks for armies they do not own to get rules which are included in those sourcebooks, but to date Battlefront has made all those rules available for free download from their webpage so a player is not required to own any other sourcebook than the one that contains the army list he/she wishes to play.\n\nPros & Cons Edit\n\n\nThe game is easily understood and simple to teach.\n\nThe game has very nice books that explain units, armies, modelling, painting and about everything you need to know to play and model / paint your army.\n\nQuick Gameplay - average games are about 1.5 to 2.5 hours long.\n\nThe Cost of building an army is very reasonable compared to most wargames on the market. (A typical 1500 pts army comes in at around $200, - which is quite cheap compared to other Wargames, like Warhammer 40K which generally costs $350-$400)\n\nGood company support, with the game designers answering questions in person through battlefronts forums or by email.\n\nRules updates and beta version army lists available as free downloads.\n\nPoints based forces make it easy to balance each player's army, plus players forces are interchangeable and flexible, as opposed to traditional historical wargames which require players to conduct extensive research and purchase a new army each time they intend to start a campaign.\n\n\nThe game rules are simplified, so the amount of complexity present in traditional historicals is lost, which puts many historical players off. A substantial argument in this area has been the 'telescoping' ground scale.\n\nBeing that Battlefront are a fairly new company, they have very little exposure in the marketplace.\n\nNo opportunity or \"snap\" fire, a feature pioneered in Squad Leader and duplicated in a lot of games but deliberately left out by FoW's designers.\n\nGames are not always \"historically accurate\" and in a tournament you will often find forces which were historically allies fighting each other. However, as with many games this is a problem created by what armies people choose to collect and not so much the game itself.\n\nSome Gamers are annoyed with the fact that it is as easy to \"kill\" a 2-man stand as it is to \"kill\" a 5-man stand. The designers answer to this has been that killing 2 men will destroy a 2 man team, while killing 2 men in a 5 man team the other 3 men will care for the wounded, removing them from combat as well.\n\nExternal linksEdit\n\nGo to the official Flames of war website to see more:\n\nFan sites\n\nAround Wikia's network\n\nRandom Wiki<|endoftext|>Samuel had a high fever and Hunter was quite well, so Samuel needed more medicine.<|endoftext|>new powerbook user\n\nDiscussion in 'Macintosh Computers' started by drewpowerbook, Jul 23, 2004.\n\n 1. macrumors newbie\n\n Jul 23, 2004\n I recently started using a powerbook and I bought a powerbook G4 from someone else who was looking for something else.

Gosh, would my dad harp on me about making my bed when I was a kid. I said the usual kid things \u2013 crazy, outlandish stuff like, \u201cBut it's my bed\" and \u201cSo can't you just shut the door?\u201d and \u201cBut it's just gonna get messy again tonight when I sleep in it\u201d \u2013 to no avail. Grownups never fell for such flawed reasoning.\n\nLater, at college and on into young adulthood, you bet I didn't make my bed! (Take that, Dad!) Still, I liked the feeling of having everything all in order before I slept, sheets all tucked in at my feet and blankets or comforter just so, and that required a made bed. So I'd make my bed just before climbing in at night. This was a drag sometimes, when I was tired and didn't really want to delve into sheet-straightening just now, plus for a while I had a partner who'd get annoyed when I'd say, \u201cWait! Wait! You can't go to bed yet! I have to make it first!\u201d\n\nSo I started making my bed in the morning. Now I didn't have to do it at night, and as a bonus, it looked nice all day! For a while I had mixed feelings about this, though. I'd mutter in my head, Yeah, yeah, Dad, OK, it's best to make the bed in the morning, you were right, now shut up.\n\nLater I started muttering stuff like: Think you're so smart, Dad? Can you imagine if you'd just waited it out, never mentioning bed-making ever when I was young? I probably would have started making my bed in the morning long before this, with no prompting at all, and you could have come to my first apartment and seen my nicely made bed, and then you'd have seen how well I turned out and how I didn't need all", "base_doc": " successor game will be.

This has added to the game's appeal of being easy to get into.\n\nGale Force 9 has also been releasing licensed products for the game including an artillery template, army specific counters/markers and most recently announced magnetic base kits.\n\nt depicted on the board but rather is assumed to be firing bombardments from a considerable distance from the battlefield. Also the fact that game initiative is a IGOUGO turn-based system and lacks opportunity fire are common complaints from those who play more traditional miniatures wargames which try to more accurately simulate warfare instead of focusing on the gaming aspect. Also the forces are \"points based\" to allow for easy pickup play and tournament play, whereas most historical miniatures wargames tend to be accurate depictions of actual battles with forces representative of those that were actually at the battle and were not always \"balanced\".\n\nOther historical wargamers have embraced Flames of War for its appeal to gamers who previously hadn't played historical games and its ability to be a \"one stop shop\" to introduce people not only to World War II historical gaming but also to miniatures wargaming in general. Though the mechanics differ greatly from most historical wargames many feel that the end results are quite similar and realistic. They view Flames of War as a great \"entry\" game to historical wargaming and hope that it will increase interest in other more traditional systems and periods of historical wargaming.\n\nSome gamers accuse Battlefront of using Games Workshop type marketing tactics with their sleek full color presentation and release of various sourcebooks as opposed to many traditional historical wargames which usually have a \"no frills\" presentation value (often being xeroxed pages stapled together) but are much more affordably priced and do not add sourcebooks to gameplay.\n\nSome have accused Battlefront of requiring players to buy sourcebooks for armies they do not own to get rules which are included in those sourcebooks, but to date Battlefront has made all those rules available for free download from their webpage so a player is not required to own any other sourcebook than the one that contains the army list he/she wishes to play.\n\nPros & Cons Edit\n\n\nThe game is easily understood and simple to teach.\n\nThe game has very nice books that explain units, armies, modelling, painting and about everything you need to know to play and model / paint your army.\n\nQuick Gameplay - average games are about 1.5 to 2.5 hours long.\n\nThe Cost of building an army is very reasonable compared to most wargames on the market. (A typical 1500 pts army comes in at around $200, - which is quite cheap compared to other Wargames, like Warhammer 40K which generally costs $350-$400)\n\nGood company support, with the game designers answering questions in person through battlefronts forums or by email.\n\nRules updates and beta version army lists available as free downloads.\n\nPoints based forces make it easy to balance each player's army, plus players forces are interchangeable and flexible, as opposed to traditional historical wargames which require players to conduct extensive research and purchase a new army each time they intend to start a campaign.\n\n\nThe game rules are simplified, so the amount of complexity present in traditional historicals is lost, which puts many historical players off. A substantial argument in this area has been the 'telescoping' ground scale.\n\nBeing that Battlefront are a fairly new company, they have very little exposure in the marketplace.\n\nNo opportunity or \"snap\" fire, a feature pioneered in Squad Leader and duplicated in a lot of games but deliberately left out by FoW's designers.\n\nGames are not always \"historically accurate\" and in a tournament you will often find forces which were historically allies fighting each other. However, as with many games this is a problem created by what armies people choose to collect and not so much the game itself.\n\nSome Gamers are annoyed with the fact that it is as easy to \"kill\" a 2-man stand as it is to \"kill\" a 5-man stand. The designers answer to this has been that killing 2 men will destroy a 2 man team, while killing 2 men in a 5 man team the other 3 men will care for the wounded, removing them from combat as well.\n\nExternal linksEdit\n\nGo to the official Flames of war website to see more:\n\nFan sites\n\nAround Wikia's network\n\nRandom Wiki<|endoftext|>new powerbook user\n\nDiscussion in 'Macintosh Computers' started by drewpowerbook, Jul 23, 2004.\n\n 1. macrumors newbie\n\n Jul 23, 2004\n I recently started using a powerbook and I bought a powerbook G4 from someone else who was looking for something else.

Gosh, would my dad harp on me about making my bed when I was a kid. I said the usual kid things \u2013 crazy, outlandish stuff like, \u201cBut it's my bed\" and \u201cSo can't you just shut the door?\u201d and \u201cBut it's just gonna get messy again tonight when I sleep in it\u201d \u2013 to no avail. Grownups never fell for such flawed reasoning.\n\nLater, at college and on into young adulthood, you bet I didn't make my bed! (Take that, Dad!) Still, I liked the feeling of having everything all in order before I slept, sheets all tucked in at my feet and blankets or comforter just so, and that required a made bed. So I'd make my bed just before climbing in at night. This was a drag sometimes, when I was tired and didn't really want to delve into sheet-straightening just now, plus for a while I had a partner who'd get annoyed when I'd say, \u201cWait! Wait! You can't go to bed yet! I have to make it first!\u201d\n\nSo I started making my bed in the morning. Now I didn't have to do it at night, and as a bonus, it looked nice all day! For a while I had mixed feelings about this, though. I'd mutter in my head, Yeah, yeah, Dad, OK, it's best to make the bed in the morning, you were right, now shut up.\n\nLater I started muttering stuff like: Think you're so smart, Dad? Can you imagine if you'd just waited it out, never mentioning bed-making ever when I was young? I probably would have started making my bed in the morning long before this, with no prompting at all, and you could have come to my first apartment and seen my nicely made bed, and then you'd have seen how well I turned out and how I didn't need all the nagging to get that way.

It would be unfair to pick out individual examples for what is a widespread problem. That said, Charles Wilson has analysed the literature on Ligeti with respect to what he calls Ligeti\u2019s \u2018rhetoric of autonomy\u2019, by means of which the composer sought to overstate his artistic independence, as a way of positioning himself in the compositional marketplace. As Wilson (2004, 6) argues, \u2018composers\u2019 self-representations often serve a function that is as much performative as constative. They are \u201cposition takings\u201d, to use Bourdieu\u2019s expression, and their assimilation by scholars as straightforward claims to truth often bespeaks a fundamental category mistake.\u2019 He quotes numerous cases in which Ligeti\u2019s exegetes dutifully adopted the composer\u2019s own terms, criteria and outlook, so that their commentaries are little more than summaries of the composer\u2019s own pronouncements. Ligeti\u2019s is hardly a special case: Messiaen\u2019s Catholicism, Nono\u2019s Marxism, Cage\u2019s Zen-Buddhism, Cardew\u2019s Maoism, Lachenmann\u2019s \u2018refusal of habit\u2019 \u2013 time and again one finds scholars piously repeating or paraphrasing lofty assertions, instead of subjecting them to rigorous critical scrutiny. And \u2013 you probably saw this coming \u2013 I am not at all sure whether the literature on Kagel represents an exception to the rule. Nor is it my intention to accuse you while exonerating myself. Although I have long been aware of the problem and have sought to avoid it, I am not sure that I have always succeeded. I have to confess that while I was writing The Music of Mauricio Kagel the thought that Kagel would read the book crossed my mind more than once, and I had already found out how touchy he could be. I\u2019d like to say that I remained steadfast, but I could be deluding myself.\n\nBack in 2011, composer and musicologist Lauren Redhead, Lecturer at Canterbury Christ Church University, published an article on her blog\u00a0following a symposium at the Institute of Musical Research on the music of Brian Ferneyhough, at which the composer was present. This presents a situation self-evidently not an issue for historical musicologists dealing with dead musicians. Whilst unable to hear the academic papers, Redhead made the following important observation (which, having seen some of the papers and other work by the participants, I believe is backed up by the results):\n\nThe Ferneyhough day was the latest in a line of academic events which I notice are celebrating authors who are still alive. My initial problem with these events is that it seems healthy debate, critique, and innovative perspectives are hardly likely to be encouraged when the composer or thinker is involved, acting as an authority and essentially vetting the speakers before they are let loose on the audience.\n\nAs one who wears two hats, both as performer and musicologist, it is rare for these issues to be far from my own mind. My own earlier writing on the music of Michael Finnissy, as collected in the volume Uncommon Ground, I now consider hagiographic and of little other than documentary value; hopefully in my more recent monograph on Finnissy\u2019s The History of Photography in Sound a greater degree of critical distance has been established, but (as Heile found with Kagel) it is hard to escape the inevitable thoughts of what the subject themselves will make of it, especially in the context of a starkly hierarchical new music world in which composers\u2019 decrees and intentions are frequently assigned an ontological priority. Recently, I have been undertaking my own comparative examination of scholarly and other writing on the music of Ferneyhough (to be published on the Search online music magazine; also a review-article on a new Ferneyhough monograph will appear in Music and Letters), and have found hagiography, unreflected employment of both intentional and poietic fallacies, and simple hero worship to be rife, in the manner diagnosed by Redhead above. I blogged about this subject a little over a year ago, arriving at what I believe were similar conclusions to Heile, and wanted to offer a few quotes from this here alongside the others:\n\nWhen considering historical composers, there are many obvious ways in which listeners may also approach the music in question in ways very different from those of the composers (or others from the time). One does not have to be a strict Lutheran to appreciate Bach, nor necessarily accept some of the theological motivations proffered for some of the musical decisions. An atheist would believe these were a delusion or at least a fiction, and might consider them as the expression of some wider human issues. A similar situation can apply to the tropes of heroism which inform some of Beethoven\u2019s mid-period work (and a good deal of subsequent reception), or more ominously the anti-semitic views expressed by Wagner in his 1850 article \u2018Das Judenthum in der Musik\u2019; much work has been done considering the question of the extent to which these views, and other common anti-semitic views of the time, might have informed some of the characterisations in his music-dramas, and been understood as such by audiences of the time. If one concludes that this might indeed have been the case, this does not require automatic rejection of the work, but can facilitate an engagement with the music-dramas not simply as art works existing outside of time and place, but ones which reflect a particular set of ideologies of the time, held by the composer, which a reasonable person would today reject without necessarily rejecting all cultural work which sprang up in a context where they were indeed acceptable. Similar positions are possible with respect to representations of women, of characters from outside of the Western world, in musical works involving theatre or text; on a deeper level it is also possible to consider the ways in which abstract instrumental music might itself have grown out of texted/stage work and inherited some of the oppositions between musical materials (especially as had become codified to represent masculine and feminine characters) which were intrinsic to the latter. In all of these cases, the approach of the writer or listener amounts to something different from simply reiterating the composer\u2019s intentions and wishes, or at least applying a different set of valorising standards to them. When applied with sufficient care for proper and balanced investigation of factual evidence (with proper referencing), rigour and transparency of argument, and elegance of presentation, not to mention some commitment to producing an argument which does more than simply reiterate that of numerous previous writers, this constitutes one variety of critical musicology. Not all or even most such work need arrive at negative conclusions, and some might affirm existing perceptions, but it does so as a result of serious consideration of alternative possibilities, rather than simply declaring them off-limits from the outset. [\u2026.] But the situation is more contested in the field of contemporary classical music. This is itself a field in which many practitioners feel themselves to be marginalised, with very little music of an atonal nature having won any degree of widespread public acceptance (even to the extent of that of composers such as Stravinsky, Britten or Shostakovich). Yet there are musicological critiques of some of this body of work emerging from people other than conservative classical music listeners. A body of work by various scholars associated with the \u2018new musicology\u2019 has contested the claims for primacy of various avant-garde music, drawing attention to what is argued to be its elitism, individualism (maintaining a nineteenth-century focus upon the \u2018great composer\u2019), abstraction and consequent social disengagement, white male middle-class bias, and artificial institutionalisation (including institutionalisation in higher education) despite its being a small minority interest. This latter point is extremely charged considering that some such musicologists inhabit university departments which they will share with some of the practitioners said to benefit from such institutional privilege.\n\nI would welcome any comments and reflections on the thoughts by the three authors here. Is this situation inevitable? Are there any things which can be done to combat it (for example, lesser tolerance within scholarly communities towards hagiographic or deferential so-called scholarship)? Is this situation likely to be exacerbated by a scholarly environment, like that in the UK, which lends primacy to that work which has an \u2018impact\u2019 outside of an academic environment, and does achieving such impact require playing along with the politics of (and fragile egos within) a professional new music world in which critical scholarly perspective is far from being a top priority? Is the only route to one\u2019s work gaining a wider audience and impact by serving a system of institutionalised prestige, or might impact be achievable in other environments as well?

Everything is assured, triumphal.\n\nAnd then, in the second movement, it all changes, as is the way with second movements. The music slows, the forces are reduced\u2014at first, only one couple remains\u2014and the dancers begin crawling on all fours. Crawling on all fours? Something must be going on. But we're never told what. There is still no story\u2014no love, no death. Actually, the crawling is probably just music visualization again. In the score, at that moment, there are dotted low notes, so the movement is \"dotted\" (staccato) and low\u2014indeed, on the floor. In the third and fourth movements, the company, again, does much of what Schumann does in his third and fourth movements. At the end, Morris re-collects the fourteen dancers into the signature V and in each of seven couples reiterates one of the motifs he has been cycling throughout the piece. It is all clear, mathematical, Q.E.D. So why, early in the dance, as two dancers did little zigzags down the stage, did I feel as though I were going to burst into tears?\n\nAs far as I can tell, Morris's effort, in his music-visualization pieces, simply to reflect the score is not an evasion of emotion; it is an act of deference to the emotion contained in the music. He knows you'll be listening to it, as he did, and he almost doesn't want to get in the way. In those pieces, furthermore, he is doing what, for a choreographer, is a very honest thing: seeing music in physical terms. (That is the form of his imagination; when he thinks, he thinks in bodies.) Finally, he has a sense of the body's natural pathos, how flesh and bone\u2014the naked legs, the hardworking buttocks\u2014automatically turn music into human truth. \"I love to see their butts,\" he once said of his company. Dance comes from the pelvis, and so he is fond of that part of the body. This is why, in the second movement of \"V,\" the slow, tender, here-is-my-soul movement, the dancers crawl: so we can see their buttocks. That's where their souls are.\n\nOne soul is featured. Julie Worden is the company's movie star\u2014tall, blond, leggy, beautiful. If I had a nickel for every time that a heterosexual male came up to me after a Mark Morris concert and said, \"The blonde, with the legs, what's her name?,\" I'd be a rich person. Worden is a superb dancer, with a special manner\u2014straightforward, unadorned\u2014and Morris makes use of that in \"V.\" She is the main soloist of the slow movement. Therefore she is the first one to crawl, and because of her objectivity, and also because she has what you might call a \"swimmer's butt\" (small, no-nonsense), she prevents us from attaching narrative meaning to that seemingly narrative action. She is also, again in the second movement, the first person to perform a very difficult, maybe ten-step partnering combination\u2014bends, jumps, turns, the works\u2014that will later be reiterated many times (it matches a theme in the music) by the other dancers. So she introduces a lot of toil and sorrow. But she herself toils not, neither does she spin, and so she keeps the argument abstract. When she crawls across the stage, you think, \"How interesting,\" as opposed to, \"Damn! I forgot to call my mother.\" Then the other dancers come on, with their toil, and acting skills, and body fat, and you remember your life.\n\nThis dialectic exemplifies Morris's sense of the relation between music and dance. He states his theme. It is pure and clean, like music. Then he develops the theme, makes it human, complicated, fleshy. This is not a new idea. On the contrary, it's the very old one, developed by Pythagoras and handed down since then, that nature and music and mathematics are all part of a single system, cold and clear at one end (the music of the spheres), warm and opaque at the other (us). That's the message of the music-visualization dances, and if, sometimes, it doesn't come across, that's because it's a philosophical concept. But when it does get across, the experience is uniquely exalted.\n\nThe message was more obvious fifteen years ago, when Morris had less \"technical\" dancers. You watched them struggle with the steps (Morris's choreography is very exacting), and your heart went out to them. The distance between them and Bach was clear. Today, Morris's dancers are expert. A ten-task combination? At top speed? No problem. Some old fans of the company rue this change. They find the work less touching. Also, Morris seems, consistently, to discourage the dancers from doing any acting whatsoever. As with the music visualizing, he wants to make us work. Or, rather, he wants everything to be in the dancing, nothing in the manner.\n\nNevertheless, there are people in the company who, no matter how skilled, still push their steps to the breaking point, so that we end up in their hands, undergoing a rather big experience with them. This season, Marjorie Folkman made her New York d\u00e9but in the climactic solo of Morris's \"I Don't Want to Love.\" When it had its premi\u00e8re, in 1996, this dance, with modern-looking people making histrionic gestures\u2014fist-shaking, brow-grabbing\u2014to the tune of Monteverdi love-laments, seemed to me a little coy, a little camp. No more. In what is now Folkman's solo, she really doesn't want to love. This story is all in the dancing, but dear God, what dancing! (She ends in a frontal backbend so huge, so stretched, that we can't see her head anymore. Love has decapitated her.) Another person currently heating up Morris's stage is the young David Leventhal. In ensemble works, you scan the group and\u2014boing!\u2014you see Leventhal, in a kind of trance of dancing, all concentration, all eagerness and detail.\n\nAt the same time, the troupe's performing wing now seems to be losing the person who was once its paragon, Mark Morris. In the past, the company rarely put on a repertory evening in which Morris did not dance at least once. This season, he appeared in only half the shows. Furthermore, in the one piece where we saw him, the newly created \"Foursome,\" he and the other three men didn't do much of anything. Satie's famous \"Gnossiennes\" flowed past, and the men shook their wrists. The music swept by again, and the men turned ninety degrees. This was sort of witty and sort of boring. If I can read between the lines, such minimalism may be a sign that Morris is saying goodbye to the stage, or starting to. He is forty-five now, and he likes his dinner. He can't move the way he used to, and why should he? But he choreographs even better than he used to.

As a result, suspicious transaction reports (SARs) filed with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) have dramatically increased over the last seven years.\n\nIn order to deal with the growth in alerts from the transaction monitoring system as well as internal employee referrals, compliance managers are making requests for an additional headcount to address the increase in case volume. While additional staff may address case requirements, perhaps it is more important than ever to evaluate if a successful compliance program is being run.\n\nHow does one measure success?\n\nTo date, compliance program success has typically been", "base_doc": " other, and they lay out the themes all over again. Everything is assured, triumphal.\n\nAnd then, in the second movement, it all changes, as is the way with second movements. The music slows, the forces are reduced\u2014at first, only one couple remains\u2014and the dancers begin crawling on all fours. Crawling on all fours? Something must be going on. But we're never told what. There is still no story\u2014no love, no death. Actually, the crawling is probably just music visualization again. In the score, at that moment, there are dotted low notes, so the movement is \"dotted\" (staccato) and low\u2014indeed, on the floor. In the third and fourth movements, the company, again, does much of what Schumann does in his third and fourth movements. At the end, Morris re-collects the fourteen dancers into the signature V and in each of seven couples reiterates one of the motifs he has been cycling throughout the piece. It is all clear, mathematical, Q.E.D. So why, early in the dance, as two dancers did little zigzags down the stage, did I feel as though I were going to burst into tears?\n\nAs far as I can tell, Morris's effort, in his music-visualization pieces, simply to reflect the score is not an evasion of emotion; it is an act of deference to the emotion contained in the music. He knows you'll be listening to it, as he did, and he almost doesn't want to get in the way. In those pieces, furthermore, he is doing what, for a choreographer, is a very honest thing: seeing music in physical terms. (That is the form of his imagination; when he thinks, he thinks in bodies.) Finally, he has a sense of the body's natural pathos, how flesh and bone\u2014the naked legs, the hardworking buttocks\u2014automatically turn music into human truth. \"I love to see their butts,\" he once said of his company. Dance comes from the pelvis, and so he is fond of that part of the body. This is why, in the second movement of \"V,\" the slow, tender, here-is-my-soul movement, the dancers crawl: so we can see their buttocks. That's where their souls are.\n\nOne soul is featured. Julie Worden is the company's movie star\u2014tall, blond, leggy, beautiful. If I had a nickel for every time that a heterosexual male came up to me after a Mark Morris concert and said, \"The blonde, with the legs, what's her name?,\" I'd be a rich person. Worden is a superb dancer, with a special manner\u2014straightforward, unadorned\u2014and Morris makes use of that in \"V.\" She is the main soloist of the slow movement. Therefore she is the first one to crawl, and because of her objectivity, and also because she has what you might call a \"swimmer's butt\" (small, no-nonsense), she prevents us from attaching narrative meaning to that seemingly narrative action. She is also, again in the second movement, the first person to perform a very difficult, maybe ten-step partnering combination\u2014bends, jumps, turns, the works\u2014that will later be reiterated many times (it matches a theme in the music) by the other dancers. So she introduces a lot of toil and sorrow. But she herself toils not, neither does she spin, and so she keeps the argument abstract. When she crawls across the stage, you think, \"How interesting,\" as opposed to, \"Damn! I forgot to call my mother.\" Then the other dancers come on, with their toil, and acting skills, and body fat, and you remember your life.\n\nThis dialectic exemplifies Morris's sense of the relation between music and dance. He states his theme. It is pure and clean, like music. Then he develops the theme, makes it human, complicated, fleshy. This is not a new idea. On the contrary, it's the very old one, developed by Pythagoras and handed down since then, that nature and music and mathematics are all part of a single system, cold and clear at one end (the music of the spheres), warm and opaque at the other (us). That's the message of the music-visualization dances, and if, sometimes, it doesn't come across, that's because it's a philosophical concept. But when it does get across, the experience is uniquely exalted.\n\nThe message was more obvious fifteen years ago, when Morris had less \"technical\" dancers. You watched them struggle with the steps (Morris's choreography is very exacting), and your heart went out to them. The distance between them and Bach was clear. Today, Morris's dancers are expert. A ten-task combination? At top speed? No problem. Some old fans of the company rue this change. They find the work less touching. Also, Morris seems, consistently, to discourage the dancers from doing any acting whatsoever. As with the music visualizing, he wants to make us work. Or, rather, he wants everything to be in the dancing, nothing in the manner.\n\nNevertheless, there are people in the company who, no matter how skilled, still push their steps to the breaking point, so that we end up in their hands, undergoing a rather big experience with them.

Each coffee drink is organized by calorie intake, amount of caffeine, food calorie equivalent and what kind of 30-minute exercise is needed to burn those calories off. With calorie numbers running along the chart's X-axis and caffeine intake running along the Y-axis, it's easier than ever to see which coffee beverages are the worst for you -- such as a large Hazelnut Mocha topped with whipped cream.<|endoftext|>Scotland in Europe Update 22nd September 2017\n\nWell. The Prime Minister\u2019s speech in Florence today was underwhelming at best; where once we had \u2018strong and stable\u2019, now we have got \u2018smooth and sensible\u2019. What about \u2018substance\u2019?\n\nMay referred to more powers for Scotland but it's been clear for a while now that she intends to do the opposite. The Brexit half-truths continued as she repeatedly remarked that the UK would take back control of its borders, a false narrative given we have never been part of the Schengen area. The expectation that Brexit will be done and dusted within a two-year transition period is ambitious indeed.\u00a0\n\nThe full text of the speech is available here:\n\n\u201cThe UK never felt truly at home in the EU\u201d said Mrs May. I disagree. Despite decades of misinformation, a Eurosceptic or disinterested media, and a mostly lacklustre Remain campaign, Scotland voted to Remain in the EU.

Each coffee drink is organized by calorie intake, amount of caffeine, food calorie equivalent and what kind of 30-minute exercise is needed to burn those calories off. With calorie numbers running along the chart's X-axis and caffeine intake running along the Y-axis, it's easier than ever to see which coffee beverages are the worst for you -- such as a large Hazelnut Mocha topped with whipped cream.<|endoftext|>Scotland in Europe Update 22nd September 2017\n\nWell.

According to social media marketers, Facebook advertising is the most effective way out of all the social networks to attract clients.\n\nBut what exactly are Facebook ads and how do they work?\n\nHow do Facebook ads work?\n\nWell, first of all, Facebook gets plenty of data from its users when they enter its platform, such as their age, their location, their likes and more. As a result, Facebook gains an idea of who each user is and what he or she might find interesting.\n\nAfterwards, Facebook presents them targeted ads that show products they are likely to buy, events they are likely to attend or sites and blogs they would prefer to visit.\n\nBut why so many people choose Facebook advertising?\n\nWhy use Facebook advertising?\n\nFirst of all, Facebook ads are very effective. The most important reason for that is Facebook\u2019s size. Billions of people use it everyday which means that billions of people see ads on their platform every day.\n\nNeedless to say that its size continues to grow day by day. Moreover, the process of setting up a Facebook campaign is simple. Anyone can create a business account and publish a campaign and you don\u2019t even need a large budget in order to get started.\n\nFurthermore, it\u2019s incredibly easy to target the right audience to promote your products or services. Facebook provides you with a ton of data for their users such as their location, their age, their likes and more.\n\nWhat is more, although there has been a rise in the use of certain other platforms, like Instagram (which ironically is owned by Facebook), Facebook continues to be the number one social network people use. That means that your campaign will be seen by the highest number of people only if it is on Facebook.\n\nLast but not least, Facebook, unlike other social networks has a wide range of ad formats to choose from and create your campaign with. You\u2019re given the ability to create ads that will attract the exact audience you\u2019re targeting.\n\nStrategies for using Facebook ads more effectively\n\nA crucial step in order to use Facebook ads in a more effective way is to know your audience and engage actively with it. You should firstly research your target customer\u2019s demographics so that you can determine which strategy is best to follow.\n\nAfter you have created your campaign, make sure to engage and communicate with your new followers. For example, hold discussions, ask them to share their opinions and create surveys.\n\nAnother recommendation is to use a Facebook ad creator. Here\u2019s a list of the best ones:\n\nAlso, you should make sure to post on the right time. For instance, users are less likely to see your ads very early in the morning or late at night. Moreover, Sunday is considered to be the day when users least engage with Facebook. So, think and act smart.\n\nUsing Facebook ads can be very beneficial for your business. The faster you learn to advertise, the quicker you\u2019ll start reaping the benefits. Be sure to think smart, do effective research and pick the right strategy.\n\n0 0 vote\nArticle Rating\nNotify of\nInline Feedbacks\nView all comments\nWould love your thoughts, please comment.x<|endoftext|>Four DeKalb County High Schools named 2012 AP Honor Schools\n\n\nGoing Green-Ribbon\n\nHow are schools going Green?\n\n\nHow can \u201cpay it forward\u201d help students succeed in school?\n\nWhitney Houston\u2019s musical and acting career made a lasting impact on people around the world as millions watched her four-hour homegoing service.

Hello, wine!\n\nI woke up on saturday to find that the snot factory in my head was still chugging away, and I didn't really feel much better. But, like the sport I am, I put that all aside because it was the day of the Percee du Vin Jaune! Catherine came to town in the morning, then we went to the train station in the afternoon to go over to Lons-le-Saunier.\n\nThere's a few things I should explain. First, that we wanted to take the first train that went into Lons after the Percee open in the afternoon -- so, everybody wanted to take the same train. Also, there are two types of trains that run on that line -- older, larger and new, small, futuristic-looking. For some reason, they decided to run the newer trains, with only two cars. I was getting nervous seeing about 200 people waiting at the station, then felt even worse when that tiny train already packed with people pulled up. We squeezed in, somehow. The train ride was about a half hour. That was a half hour of having my back so firmly squeezed against the girl behind me that I could feel her entire skeletal structure every time the train went around a slight curve.\n\nLons was really nicely decorated with little garlands of paper flower and people raring to get liquored up. When they handed over my 10 drink tickets, I could only count myself among them. I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed when I realized that they actually poured tasting amounts.\n\nOver the four hours we were there, I probably consumed two modest glasses of wine. Those two glasses were immediately metabolized, too, in order for my body to not die of the cold. We also got some tartiflette to help stay alive. As we were eating, Catherine said, \"I'd never eat this much back at home. I'd also never eat a whole meal of potatoes covered in cheese.\"\n\"God, me neither!\" I said, \"I guess these are the sacrifices we makes to be part of the culture.\"\n\nMost of the vineyards had tables set up in the little cellars underneath stores and buildings. To get the wine, we had to go down the stone steps into a little dusty, cobwebby cave.\n\nIt was actually kind of charming. Plus, all of the people crammed into the small spaces created a bit of heat, otherwise totally absent from the day.\n\nWe stumbled upon a vintage wine auction, which was probably the coolest part of the day. First of all, I understood all of the numbers as they were being called out. This was one of the difficult things about learning french that I didn't expect. In this language, like a lot of other, the numbers seem to compound a lot of more significantly.

They were selling off bottles of wine from the mid-80s all the way to 1934. That one, the vin jaune from '34 (which does keep that long) , cost about 500USD. Most of the wine was from the 60s and 70s, and ran around 120 - 200 euro.\n\nI might have misled you saying that they didn't have enough wine to get people drunk. In addition to the 10 samples glasses, they also had bottles for sale at all of the vendors. At very reasonable prices. And they'd open the bottle for you right at the table. So, groups of people were walking around town, sharing a bottle on the street. Ahh, france.\n\nWe had fun! Then we went home and ate a much more american meal: salad. Oh, and endive soup.

Let me try and break this down again.\n\nUnder the \"RFRA interpretation statute,\" T2 Congress intends that religious objectors be exempt from any requirements that do substantially burden their religion, except to the extent that the exemption infringes upon a government's compelling interest, and only when that interest cannot be resolved in a more narrowly tailored fashion. (I'm using the Smith terminology, knowing that these words were not, pre-Hobby Lobby, given a literal reading).\n\nNow, statutory interpretation can *help* us, sometimes, know what is a compelling interest. An interest might be less compelling, for instance, if the legislation showed agnosticism about it. On the other hand, if the interest was more central to the legislation, it is more compelling. Because RFRA is a T2 interpretation statute, what is compelling is what the T2 Congress thought was compelling.\n\nAnd statutory interpretation can also *help us* with the narrowly-tailored part. What is or is not narrowly tailored must again be viewed from the T2 Congress. And if T2 Congress expressly foreclosed one solution, then that solution cannot be more narrowly tailored, even if the President could, in its discretion, ignore the demand due to constitutional structure.\n\nOr, to put it another way, we know that putting contraception coverage on the exchanges cannot be more-narrowly tailored because the ACA forbade it, and the ACA's implied RFRA section cannot *require* something that the ACA *forbids*.\n\nLink provided to my original analysis:\n\nJustin said...\n\nBy saying that RFRA is a T2 interpretation, statute, btw, I mean that the T1 Congress's RFRA statute's only effect is that it helps interpret the T2 Congress's statute, i.e., the ACA.\n\nMichael C. Dorf said...\n\nI read Justin's comments as addressing my post from last week, not the new points I'm making here. Even then, I think his views iAd probably wrong. The idea of RFRA could well be to spare the T2 Congress from having to think about religious exceptions. RFRA will often apply to provide exceptions from seemingly categorical prohibitions.\n\nJustin said...\nThis comment has been removed by the author.\nJustin said...\n\nMy comments were intended to address your point here. Specifically, from your fake colloquy:\n\n\nI would edit that to say:\n\n\nI'm not persuaded by \"it is legal\" by itself, because it seems to be arguing some non-inherent standard. Why does it matter if it is legal? Government uses enforcement discretion all the time to accomplish competing goals, so why not here? What does the legality of an accommodation actually have to do with the statutory interpretation of either RFRA or the ACA? I could come up with plausible arguments why it makes sense as a rule, but it would be a policy argument, not a statutory interpretation argument.*\n\nNow when I say \"intended by Congress,\" I understand Congress did not *actually* intend a *particular* accommodation. But, under the administrative-state theories that I accept (and I don't think are terribly controversial), administrative lawmaking is legal only to the extent consistent with Congressional intent, and only under the theory that Congress is fulfilling the act's intent, rather than independently engaging in legislation.\n\nAnother way of saying \"compelling government interest,\" in that sense, is that Congress intended that this result be accomplished regardless of RFRA. And \"narrowly tailored\" is another way of limiting the scope of possible choices that the Administration can use in accomplishing the result. (Think of it as a limited exception to the normal \"Step 2\" analysis of the general Chevron doctrine.) But the most narrowly-tailored response must still be consistent with the ACA itself, or it would be an unlawful *Step 1* choice.\n\nIt's too easy to fall into constitutional legal traps. At the end, RFRA is not an overruling of Smith - that would be beyond Congress's power. Thus, Congress's intent in passing the ACA, against the backdrop of RFRA. is what we are analyzing, even if that intent is not always clear.\n\nSorry that you disagree.\n\n*I guess \"that it is legal\" could be imposed as a general principle of statutory interpretation to the extent you are supposed to interpret the US Code as a concrete whole. That interpretation would require \"that it is legal under federal statutory law\" (which, due to the Supremacy Clause, is probably not a distinction with much difference), but it would work. But it would also not be fundamentally different from my argument, which you expressly disagree with. So I'm stumped.\n\nMichael C. Dorf said...\n\nJustin: You are still arguing about the point I made in the last post, not this one. In my hypothetical colloquy, SG Verrilli and Justice Alito are both assuming that neither the ACA nor the ACA as read against the backdrop of RFRA authorizes contraception-only exchanges. That is, they are REJECTING my view that RFRA can be said to authorize what the ACA, standing alone, would forbid. But Justice Alito says \"so what?\" You can get there by prosecutorial discretion. And SG Verrilli says no, there are limits to what can be accomplished via prosecutorial discretion. My point here really has nothing to do with RFRA. It's about the difference between saying that no court can order the president to satisfy the Take Care Clause and saying that there is no duty under the Take Care Clause. This issue arises here through RFRA, but my current point has nothing to do with RFRA.\n\nNow, as to your continuing objection, I still think you're wrong. I'll try one more time with a variation on a famous statutory interpretation example. Suppose that Congress passed a law saying that the only vehicles permitted in some national park are Parks Service vehicles and emergency vehicles. Now along comes a Native tribe that has traditionally held a ritual that involves a horse-drawn carriage trip to a part of the park they consider sacred. Let us stipulate that in the absence of RFRA, the tribe would be barred. Even assuming Congress, when it enacted the \"no other vehicles in the national park\" law, had in mind no exceptions, RFRA quite naturally would give the tribe a prima facie exception. I think that's also how RFRA would work with the ACA", "base_doc": ", we're about to go on holiday, which raises the inevitable issue of packing.\n\nI don't know if I have many grown-up male readers out there but if I have they will be completely lost by now because packing is a word they cannot know.\n\nTell me, where is the man who can pack? Find him.\n\nThe ability to pack is an inherently female gene, passed down only through the female line, escaping all but a few genetically modified blokes.\n\nPerhaps men get near the packing zone a few years in their life - let's call them the Faliraki Years when it's deeply important which designer items you pack for those riotous nights... but even then I'd guess there's a lovely mum who's done all the packing (and probably washing and ironing too) for her little lad.\n\nNo, packing does not come naturally to guys.

T-shirts previously only seen during garden playing sessions when you know no-one's likely to pop round.\n\nIt wasn't funny.\n\nBig boy was to wear a mad sale-buy sweater that would have fitted him some years ago. As for co-ordination, don't get me started - these looked like children from a \"please give me a home\" leaflet.\n\nHard as I tried to not be bothered by this, I had to succumb to the shops and found myself buying up new trousers and sweatshirts for the poor infants (obviously totally oblivious to what they were wearing).\n\nSo now we're off on a bigger holiday and I am not letting dad near the kids' packing - although I am still moaning about getting it all done.\n\nI think it was a good move really for him to get it wrong as he knows not to utter the \"I'll do it\" words.\n\nClearly that's in the genes too - the \"never have to pack gene\".<|endoftext|>Monday, March 28, 2016\n\nProsecutorial Discretion and Justiciability\n\nby Michael Dorf\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSG VERRILLI: I don't believe we have that authority.\u00a0\n\n\nJustin said...\n\nAs I said before, I think missing from this equation is the fact that RFRA is an interpretation statute. Let me try and break this down again.\n\nUnder the \"RFRA interpretation statute,\" T2 Congress intends that religious objectors be exempt from any requirements that do substantially burden their religion, except to the extent that the exemption infringes upon a government's compelling interest, and only when that interest cannot be resolved in a more narrowly tailored fashion. (I'm using the Smith terminology, knowing that these words were not, pre-Hobby Lobby, given a literal reading).\n\nNow, statutory interpretation can *help* us, sometimes, know what is a compelling interest. An interest might be less compelling, for instance, if the legislation showed agnosticism about it. On the other hand, if the interest was more central to the legislation, it is more compelling. Because RFRA is a T2 interpretation statute, what is compelling is what the T2 Congress thought was compelling.\n\nAnd statutory interpretation can also *help us* with the narrowly-tailored part. What is or is not narrowly tailored must again be viewed from the T2 Congress. And if T2 Congress expressly foreclosed one solution, then that solution cannot be more narrowly tailored, even if the President could, in its discretion, ignore the demand due to constitutional structure.\n\nOr, to put it another way, we know that putting contraception coverage on the exchanges cannot be more-narrowly tailored because the ACA forbade it, and the ACA's implied RFRA section cannot *require* something that the ACA *forbids*.\n\nLink provided to my original analysis:\n\nJustin said...\n\nBy saying that RFRA is a T2 interpretation, statute, btw, I mean that the T1 Congress's RFRA statute's only effect is that it helps interpret the T2 Congress's statute, i.e., the ACA.\n\nMichael C. Dorf said...\n\nI read Justin's comments as addressing my post from last week, not the new points I'm making here. Even then, I think his views iAd probably wrong. The idea of RFRA could well be to spare the T2 Congress from having to think about religious exceptions. RFRA will often apply to provide exceptions from seemingly categorical prohibitions.\n\nJustin said...\nThis comment has been removed by the author.\nJustin said...\n\nMy comments were intended to address your point here. Specifically, from your fake colloquy:\n\n\nI would edit that to say:\n\n\nI'm not persuaded by \"it is legal\" by itself, because it seems to be arguing some non-inherent standard. Why does it matter if it is legal? Government uses enforcement discretion all the time to accomplish competing goals, so why not here? What does the legality of an accommodation actually have to do with the statutory interpretation of either RFRA or the ACA? I could come up with plausible arguments why it makes sense as a rule, but it would be a policy argument, not a statutory interpretation argument.*\n\nNow when I say \"intended by Congress,\" I understand Congress did not *actually* intend a *particular* accommodation. But, under the administrative-state theories that I accept (and I don't think are terribly controversial), administrative lawmaking is legal only to the extent consistent with Congressional intent, and only under the theory that Congress is fulfilling the act's intent, rather than independently engaging in legislation.\n\nAnother way of saying \"compelling government interest,\" in that sense, is that Congress intended that this result be accomplished regardless of RFRA. And \"narrowly tailored\" is another way of limiting the scope of possible choices that the Administration can use in accomplishing the result. (Think of it as a limited exception to the normal \"Step 2\" analysis of the general Chevron doctrine.) But the most narrowly-tailored response must still be consistent with the ACA itself, or it would be an unlawful *Step 1* choice.\n\nIt's too easy to fall into constitutional legal traps. At the end, RFRA is not an overruling of Smith - that would be beyond Congress's power. Thus, Congress's intent in passing the ACA, against the backdrop of RFRA. is what we are analyzing, even if that intent is not always clear.\n\nSorry that you disagree.\n\n*I guess \"that it is legal\" could be imposed as a general principle of statutory interpretation to the extent you are supposed to interpret the US Code as a concrete whole. That interpretation would require \"that it is legal under federal statutory law\" (which, due to the Supremacy Clause, is probably not a distinction with much difference), but it would work. But it would also not be fundamentally different from my argument, which you expressly disagree with. So I'm stumped.\n\nMichael C. Dorf said...\n\nJustin: You are still arguing about the point I made in the last post, not this one. In my hypothetical colloquy, SG Verrilli and Justice Alito are both assuming that neither the ACA nor the ACA as read against the backdrop of RFRA authorizes contraception-only exchanges. That is, they are REJECTING my view that RFRA can be said to authorize what the ACA, standing alone, would forbid. But Justice Alito says \"so what?\" You can get there by prosecutorial discretion. And SG Verrilli says no, there are limits to what can be accomplished via prosecutorial discretion. My point here really has nothing to do with RFRA. It's about the difference between saying that no court can order the president to satisfy the Take Care Clause and saying that there is no duty under the Take Care Clause. This issue arises here through RFRA, but my current point has nothing to do with RFRA.\n\nNow, as to your continuing objection, I still think you're wrong. I'll try one more time with a variation on a famous statutory interpretation example. Suppose that Congress passed a law saying that the only vehicles permitted in some national park are Parks Service vehicles and emergency vehicles. Now along comes a Native tribe that has traditionally held a ritual that involves a horse-drawn carriage trip to a part of the park they consider sacred. Let us stipulate that in the absence of RFRA, the tribe would be barred. Even assuming Congress, when it enacted the \"no other vehicles in the national park\" law, had in mind no exceptions, RFRA quite naturally would give the tribe a prima facie exception. I think that's also how RFRA would work with the ACA exchanges (were it not for the other difficulties with the plaintiffs'", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 396042, "pt_loc": 47822921, "pt_shuffle_idx": 143451785, "doc_index_f": 224848082, "doc_index_l": 224848083, "offset_f": 1, "offset_l": 1436, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 11, "pt_injection_len": 24, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [612, 1437]} -{"pt_doc": "Only the sound of the trumpet, not the clarinet, pierced the woman ears because the _ had a low pitch.\nOption 1: trumpet\nOption 2: clarinet\nAnswer: 2<|endoftext|> Bums\u201d and was ready to immerse myself in a life of heavy drinking and solitude. \u00a0I\u2019d become a forest ranger and take a post in a fire lookout high up on some lonely mountain top.

Anselm means an atheist by this term. This usage derives from the Bible, in which the Hebrew word translated as \"fool\" denotes a morally deficient person, rather than someone who is stupid in the intellectual sense. Once again, by the \"understanding\", Anselm is referring to the modal realm of possibility. That which exists in the understanding is that which is possible. So Anselm is asserting that even the atheist would agree that it is possible that God exists. Even though the atheist asserts that God's existence is false, the atheist surely would agree that this is a contingent falsehood. Like a painter who imagines a picture before painting it, the atheist can conceive of a world in which God exists even if that world is not the true world. This leads us to the first of Anselm's axioms, namely\n\nAxiom 1: g\n\nwhere g is the proposition that God exists. When we consider G\u00f6del's ontological argument, we shall see that this statement will not be taken as axiomatic. Indeed, G\u00f6del's contribution to the ontological argument is partly a deeper analysis of this statement, which is axiomatic here. We have to say that Anselm does provide an argument for Axiom 1. However, his argument is not convincing, because he does not distinguish between propositions which are conceivable, and propositions which are possible. (We take him to mean the latter.) The distinction is very important. For example, I can conceive of an even integer greater than two which cannot be written as the sum of two prime numbers. However, the fact that I can conceive of such an integer does not mean that one possibly exists. Mathematical objects such as integers are usually understood as having only essential properties and not accidental ones. (At least, this is the usual understanding of the mathematical Platonist.)\n\nSomething than which nothing greater can be thought so truly exists\nthat it is not possible to think of it as not existing\n\nWith this statement, Anselm rules out the contingent (i.e., accidental) existence of a deity. We can formalize this in modal logic as\n\nAxiom 2: g g\n\nAnselm's argument is that if God existed only in a contingent sense, then we could imagine a greater being, namely one which whose existence is necessary. By our understanding of the essential properties of God as developed above, it is impossible to conceive of a being greater than God. Perhaps a more modern language would help in thinking about Axiom 2. Anselm is saying, in effect, that if God existed contingently, but not necessarily, then we could ask questions like \"If God made the universe, then who made God?\" A being invoked to explain the existence of the universe, but whose existence is in need of explanation, is not great enough for Anselm to call God.\n\nAnselm's basic idea was that God has a property that other individuals lack, namely maximal greatness or perfection. Imagine that you, like the great Italian poet Dante, were lifted up in a dream for a personal interview with God. Having explained to you how she created the universe, and explained the answers to mysterious questions in quantum mechanics and particle physics, you finally get around to asking the following question: \"OK God, you've explained to me how you made the universe. So I know where the universe comes from and why it is the way it is. But where do you come from?\" If God answered \"Gee, I don't know\" you would feel disappointed I suspect. You would feel that God is not as knowledgeable as you would like. Anselm's insight was that a God who could answer this question (even if we did not understand the answer) would be a greater God than one who could not. Since God, by definition, is maximally great, she should have an answer. To say there can be no answer is to say that Anselm's God necessarily does not exist. To say that there is an answer is to say that necessarily Anselm's God exists. (Note that I am careful to speak only of Anselm's God here. Others have seen God in different terms.) Since God is maximally great, she must be self-creating, i.e., have the source of all existence (including her own existence) within herself.\n\n[As a technical aside, we should note the affinity between this step of Anselm's argument, and certain reasoning in the cosmological argument for God's existence. The principle of sufficient reason implies that in order for the universe to have a first cause, namely God, the first cause must be a \"self-causing cause.\" If not, then God would have a prior cause. But a self-causing cause -- one which contains the explanation for its own existence -- is rather like a necessarily existing being. The similarity between the arguments should not be overstated: belief in one argument does not entail belief in the other. For example, Thomas Aquinas accepted the cosmological argument but not the ontological argument for God.]\n\nNow let us consider the ramifications of Axioms 1 and 2 within the modal logic S5.\n\n1. g g (Axiom 2)\n\n2. ~g ~g (Becker postulate 2)\n\n3. g ~g (law of excluded middle)\n\n4. g ~g (2, 3 using substitution rule)\n\n5. ~g ~g (contrapositive of Axiom 2)\n\n6. ( ~g ~g) (necessitation postulate on 5)\n\n7. ~g ~g (modus ponens on 6)\n\n8. g ~g (substitution rule on 4 and 7)\n\n9. ~~g (Axiom 1)\n\n10. g (8 and 9)\n\nThis is the modern form of Anselm's ontological argument, due to Charles Hartshorne. Anselm himself did not have the full power of S5 available to him. So his argument is not exactly the same as this. However, the basic idea of both arguments is that necessary existence is an essential property of God entailed by God's greatness.\n\nWe must either accept the conclusion of the argument, namely that God exists necessarily, or find fault with an axiom or postulate. Critical scrutiny has been brought to bear on the following parts of the argument:\n\nWhile there was initially some suspicion of Becker's postulate and the modal logic S5, the dust seems to have settled on this. We now know that there is nothing particularly remarkable about the assumptions of S5. While Becker's postulate is not required in other types of modal logic, Saul Kripke's possible world semantics have interpreted Becker's postulate for us. If we imagine that two individuals from different possible worlds were able to compare their understanding of the meaning of , then Becker's postulate is a statement of equivalence in their interpretations of . We might imagine, for example, that a Napoleon who won the battle of Waterloo was able to sit down at the table with a Napoleon who lost the battle of Waterloo to discuss how the battle went. If Becker's postulate is satisfied, then they should be able to agree about which contingencies are truly possible. This seems to be most closely in accord with our naive views of modal possibility. That is not to say that it is forced upon us.\n\nIn the absence of anything outrageously wrong with S5, we can turn to the two axioms. Axiom 2 has come under a lot of scrutiny. However, many of the arguments have lost their force. In the original version of the argument, Anselm claimed that contingent existence is greater than possible existence, and that necessary existence is greater than contingent existence.\n\nThis seems to treat existence as just another property of individuals, such as whether they are wearing red suits or have white beards. Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) criticized the ontological argument by stating that existence is not a predicate. That is, existence is not a property of individuals in the same way that being short or red is. It is certainly true that we have to be careful here. If we can arbitrarily add existence as a defining property for an individual, there seems to be no limit to what we can prove to exist. For example, we might define a unicorn as follows:\n\nDefinition: A unicorn is a four-footed beast resembling a horse having a horn on its head and existing.\n\nThus unicorns exist. By definition.\n\nHowever, this is a parody of Anselm's argument, and doesn't stand up under close examination. Any good mathematician will allow you (within reason) to define your terms any way that you like. So there is nothing wrong with the definition. Can we really show that unicorns exist using this argument? The answer is no. Our definition of a unicorn would only seem to imply that all unicorns exist, or equivalently, that for all x, if x is a unicorn then x exists. However, this statement is trivially true, because it is vacuously satisfied.\n\nAnyway, the form of the ontological argument that we have used does not explicitly assume that existence is a predicate. It assumes that the modal status of an individual (the Eiffel tower, say, or the number 17) can be regarded as a property. A number between 16 and 18 exists necessarily, whereas", "base_doc": " fool has to agree that\nthe concept of something than which nothing greater can be thought\nexists in his understanding\n(163, 173)\n\nThe word \"fool\" is not to be understood in its modern sense. Anselm means an atheist by this term. This usage derives from the Bible, in which the Hebrew word translated as \"fool\" denotes a morally deficient person, rather than someone who is stupid in the intellectual sense. Once again, by the \"understanding\", Anselm is referring to the modal realm of possibility. That which exists in the understanding is that which is possible. So Anselm is asserting that even the atheist would agree that it is possible that God exists. Even though the atheist asserts that God's existence is false, the atheist surely would agree that this is a contingent falsehood. Like a painter who imagines a picture before painting it, the atheist can conceive of a world in which God exists even if that world is not the true world. This leads us to the first of Anselm's axioms, namely\n\nAxiom 1: g\n\nwhere g is the proposition that God exists. When we consider G\u00f6del's ontological argument, we shall see that this statement will not be taken as axiomatic. Indeed, G\u00f6del's contribution to the ontological argument is partly a deeper analysis of this statement, which is axiomatic here. We have to say that Anselm does provide an argument for Axiom 1. However, his argument is not convincing, because he does not distinguish between propositions which are conceivable, and propositions which are possible. (We take him to mean the latter.) The distinction is very important. For example, I can conceive of an even integer greater than two which cannot be written as the sum of two prime numbers. However, the fact that I can conceive of such an integer does not mean that one possibly exists. Mathematical objects such as integers are usually understood as having only essential properties and not accidental ones. (At least, this is the usual understanding of the mathematical Platonist.)\n\nSomething than which nothing greater can be thought so truly exists\nthat it is not possible to think of it as not existing\n\nWith this statement, Anselm rules out the contingent (i.e., accidental) existence of a deity. We can formalize this in modal logic as\n\nAxiom 2: g g\n\nAnselm's argument is that if God existed only in a contingent sense, then we could imagine a greater being, namely one which whose existence is necessary. By our understanding of the essential properties of God as developed above, it is impossible to conceive of a being greater than God. Perhaps a more modern language would help in thinking about Axiom 2. Anselm is saying, in effect, that if God existed contingently, but not necessarily, then we could ask questions like \"If God made the universe, then who made God?\" A being invoked to explain the existence of the universe, but whose existence is in need of explanation, is not great enough for Anselm to call God.\n\nAnselm's basic idea was that God has a property that other individuals lack, namely maximal greatness or perfection. Imagine that you, like the great Italian poet Dante, were lifted up in a dream for a personal interview with God. Having explained to you how she created the universe, and explained the answers to mysterious questions in quantum mechanics and particle physics, you finally get around to asking the following question: \"OK God, you've explained to me how you made the universe. So I know where the universe comes from and why it is the way it is. But where do you come from?\" If God answered \"Gee, I don't know\" you would feel disappointed I suspect. You would feel that God is not as knowledgeable as you would like. Anselm's insight was that a God who could answer this question (even if we did not understand the answer) would be a greater God than one who could not. Since God, by definition, is maximally great, she should have an answer. To say there can be no answer is to say that Anselm's God necessarily does not exist.

And when we finally do, just how do we find the answer, in a world where the flow of information - along with the industry that feeds our minds, day and night - is controlled by those who so often deny its very existence?\n\nLike so many others, Mel Gibson has found his answer in the person of Jesus Christ. But, unlike most, Gibson also has the power - and the money - to bring that message to the rest of the world.\n\nSpeaking in Aramaic, Jesus prays to his heavenly father for release from the task that awaits him, even as his disciples slumber and a satanic figure taunts him in the Garden of Gethsemane. An arrival, a kiss, a betrayal, a tussle. Peter lops off an ear; Jesus restores it, and the stunned Roman guard sits unmoving, wondering what has just occurred.\n\nThe film moves through the various trials, with the accused being mocked and judged by the high priests of Israel, then Pilate, then Herod, then Pilate again. Unwilling to condemn Jesus to death, Pilate sends him off for a brutal beating at the hands of his sadistic soldiers. Hounded by the Jewish leaders for a death sentence and fearful of a revolt, Pilate finally relents, washing his hands to deny all responsibility.\u00a0\n\nThrough the streets and up the hill to Golgotha, a blood-covered, stumbling Jesus carries his cross, as soldiers continue to beat him and the crowds continue to mock him. A reluctant Simon of Cyrene steps in to help. Finally, at the top of the hill, Jesus crawls onto the cross, where merry soldiers drive nails into his palms and ankles. One stretches his arm, dislocating a shoulder - and laughing. Jesus cries out for their forgiveness.\n\nThe thief dying next to Jesus pleads for forgiveness; another scoffs, as a black crow comes to rest on his cross. Caiphas arrives in his swirling robes to taunt Jesus, who responds in muttered prayer, always faithful to his last words as recorded in the Gospels. Mary and John approach the foot of the cross, where he tells them to behold one another.\n\nThen, the sky darkens and a violent wind stirs, whipping the cloak that the soldiers are casting lots for beneath his feet. Finally, after crying out to God that he has been abandoned, Jesus dies - and a single, solitary drop of water comes crashing down from heaven. The earth trembles and the temple floor cracks in two. Jesus rises from the dead in a brief scene, and then the film ends.\n\nMy tears, as well as those of the seasoned film critics sitting around me, were copious. It is a hard film to watch. Yet, it is equally impossible to turn away. Suddenly, the cost of my salvation is personal, very personal. It is also an important film, an epic, but it is not for children. The unflinching brutality of the Roman soldiers is historically accurate, and it is no wonder that the word \"excruciating\" shares the same root as \"crucifixion.\" The beatings and torture are savage - more so than anything I have ever seen onscreen. Harder still is the knowledge that this story is true and that it happened to someone I know personally. Just when you think it cannot get any worse, it does. And it continues throughout the film, relentlessly.\n\nMy husband, a biblical scholar, suggests a guideline for parents. The Bible, which is written on an eighth-grade level, assumes that most children younger than 13 will not be reading the story for themselves. How much more so should they therefore not be seeing it - especially when the story is this graphic. For the rest of us, however, \"The Passion\" is a film we should all watch, every year, for the rest of our lives - lest we take it for granted, lest we forget.\n\nThe film's artistic quality is unsurpassed, with a sweeping musical score and haunting cinematography. The film should, although it probably will not, receive every award ever given, including Best Film, Best Direction, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Cinematography.

And it continues throughout the film, relentlessly.\n\nMy husband, a biblical scholar, suggests a guideline for parents. The Bible, which is written on an eighth-grade level, assumes that most children younger than 13 will not be reading the story for themselves. How much more so should they therefore not be seeing it - especially when the story is this graphic. For the rest of us, however, \"The Passion\" is a film we should all watch, every year, for the rest of our lives - lest we take it for granted, lest we forget.\n\nThe film's artistic quality is unsurpassed, with a sweeping musical score and haunting cinematography. The film should, although it probably will not, receive every award ever given, including Best Film, Best Direction, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Cinematography.

By all means, we want to trust our partners, but we can still be trustworthy while also getting the tests we should to assure our continued health. A partner's word isn't a test and it isn't preventative healthcare. If I had a dollar for everyone I've counseled over the years who got an STI from a partner they were assured presented no risks, and with whom they decided that trust somehow negated a need for healthcare, I'd be doing much better financially than I am right now.

Why not combine that trust with tests? As well, if you're in your teens, know that your risks of some infections or complications from some infections -- even something like a basic bacterial infection -- are higher because your cervix has not yet finished developing, which makes it more suceptible to infections and complications.\n\nSo, the best bet for anyone is to practice safer sex -- which includes getting a pelvic exam for you and STI testing for both of you -- for at least the first six months. If after that six month period, you both test negatively, and remain monogamous, you can consider going without barriers and reducing how often you get that testing. How infrequently you get tested is just one of those things which is up to you. I personally encourage everyone to just get in the habit of tests and exams each year -- especially since given you are young, it's unlikely this will be your only partner, so you're probably going to need to get into that habit eventually. Once you get in that habit, you'll find out that those exams really are no big shakes, and it won't seem like such a huge deal.\n\nI don't know how old you are, but if you were in your teens and had never been in any way sexually active, it's usually okay to go ahead and wait to pelvic exams and pap smears until you are, unless you experience things like very painful periods or uterine or ovarian pain at other times, excess or unexplained bleeding, absent periods after your cycle has regulated, pain when urinating, strange discharges, genital sores or suspected pregnancy.

That fast? Really? Wow!\n\nOh, of course. You're talking about the old traditional publishing models. Yes. Well. Let's dispense with that right now. We are well past the timelines of traditional publishing. On that planet, it's normal to wait 18 months (a year and a half, people!) to see the book appear in print. After all that waiting, things speed up to express-train levels. The book is out, author! Get out there and make it sell! You've got -- oh, say, a month. Yes, a month. The next book by your publisher is already in the chute, and it has to be given a month of its own, doesn't it? You'll be moving along then, your book didn't self-combust and take the world by the heart in those long, leisurely thirty days it was up front in the book store.\n\nOh, sorry. We were dispensing with all that.\n\nHere's what you're going to do as an independent author. Yes. You'll have a book launch. Of course! Who wants to miss out on that? The thing is, you need to start something I call the Practice of Being an Author. It's a practice, because it is no longer a race. Your book is going to be available for a very long time, and your launch lasts at least a year.\n\nYou're going to create an editorial calendar, for example, which in best cases begins quite a while before your book is finished and available. Wait, now, don't get upset if you, like just about every other writer I know, did not have time to create an author platform while in the process of writing your book. That's right. I'm not a writing and tech superhero and I don't know anyone who is. Not personally, anyway.\n\nSo it's really okay if you have so far only managed to write your book, get it edited, make the changes, have a book cover produced, maybe even get a few nice reviews you can include right there in your description area in Kindle, and push the PUBLISH button on Amazon. You actually did well. Back patting encouraged.\n\nMaybe you even signed up with someone who can help you get your book up to Bestseller status on Amazon. Awesome! Pay attention and learn everything you can. Just don't think that you're done after you've cleaned up the champagne corks and sparkly confetti from your launch party. Having a best selling book, a concept of varying meaning, will help. Keep smiling. Continuing your launch for the next twelve months will be one of the most satisfying, friendship building, illuminating things you will ever do.\n\nOn the Old Publishing Planet, none of this happens. It's not even possible. The structure is radically different from what we are doing now as independent authors. Our books are here to stay. I hope you've written something you really, really care about. Indie authors can't afford the attention deficit which traditional publishing has trained into authors and their readers. We are all about longevity. We'll be selling our books, pulling in royalties, and making our readership happy for the rest of our lives.\n\nRight? With me?\n\nLet's grow beyond bestseller.

The rays washed over it, discombobulating whatever molecular glue held it together. The aquarium turned bright pink, then ruptured, spilling plexiglass, piranha, Jehovah's Witness Protection Program agents, and hundreds of gallons of water all over the interior of the dirigible's gondola. The surging water knocked Miss Sebastos off her feet and the electro muscular disruption energy device out of her hand. She dived for it but Sheila's withering glance got there first. In a trice, it resembled an escapee from Dali's \"Persistence of Memory.\"\n\nRealizing that those eyeballs were nothing to fool around with, Miss Sebastos wisely adopted the submissive \"Wave Hands Like Clouds\" posture. Sheila slipped her sunglasses back atop her nose, then she and Dr. Bleiber escorted the miffed Tai Chi instructor down the ramp from the dirigible to the rooftop. But Bob paused to collect a set of Tai Chia pets from the kitchen counter. (Why he did so would take a long and rambling extra chapter to explain. Suffice it to say his reasoning was sound.) Miss Sebastos liked the odds now, so she implemented Plan W. She knew from Dr. Bleiber's psychological profile that he had an abnormal fear of nematodes, so she abruptly dropped into the \"Worm Crawls on Hot Pavement\" position. Bleiber immediately cowered and backed into Sheila, knocking off her sunglasses. She quickly averted her eyes, but a stray W ray grazed the dirigible's tether, severing it. With a soft wheeze, the airship lifted gently into the sky. By the time Bob got to the doorway with the Tai Chia pets, it was too far to jump. \"Mawk!\" he understated, as the craft rapidly ascended, approximating the trajectory Icarus once took from Crete. As Dr. Bleiber gesticulated futilely to Bob, Miss Sebastos escaped into the Tai Chi building.\n\nIgnoring the doctor, Sheila got a fix on the dirigible, then blinked twice. Two pencil thin ribbons of W rays shot out from her eyes and poked two hubcap-size holes in the ship's dacron envelope. The hull began to deflate and the dirigible headed down, emitting dual raspberries a minor third apart.\n\nMeanwhile, a level-headed Bob had used skills that had lain dormant since he'd been a roustabout aboard Cousteau's Calypso to repair the aquarium. After refilling it, he gathered up the twelve fish a-flopping and eased them back into the water. He even administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation on one that had gone into oxygen-deprivation shock. In the process, he unwittingly \"juggled the piranha\" several times, but the toothy fish cut him some slack. This time.\n\nWhap! Miss Sebastos was back in her classroom, whacking a ruler against her palm as if nothing had happened. In front of her, eighteen giant starlings adopted the \"Grasping Sparrow's Tail\" posture. But instead of employing a gentle stroking motion, they used their beaks to fiercely tear into the imaginary birds' tail feathers. And yet they did so in a manner that conformed to Miss Sebastos' rhythm. Glancing out the window, she saw her dirigible spiraling slowly down into the adjacent rice paddy. When she spotted that damned macaque making off with her Tai Chia pets, she momentarily lost her (whap-ap!) rhythm. The starlings immediately became disoriented. And dangerous. They beat the air with their powerful wings, creating their own \"Blowing Mountain Over\" movement.\n\nJust at that moment, Dr. Bleiber entered the rear of the classroom. When he spotted the instructor, he yelled \"stop!\" That is, he meant to yell stop. But in all the excitement, he reverted to his native Finnish, saying instead \"Aja hiljaa sillalla,\" or, \"drive quietly on the bridge.\" This non sequitur drove the birds even deeper into disorientation. As Bleiber was trying to battle his way through the sea of flailing wings and failing, Miss Sebastos retreated into her office. She locked her door, then squeezed the head of the Annette Mouseketeer paperweight on her desk. A secret passageway opened in the wall, revealing the bottom of a ladder that led up to a hot beverage machine on the fifth floor Post Ophthalmological Care Unit in Saint Salmon's Hospital. Grasping the rungs--she never could get used to the way they faded in and out of focus--Miss Sebastos pulled the panel closed and started up.\n\nSheila, meanwhile, had stopped to counsel members of the United Locksmiths Guild, who were attempting their first firewalk--that's when people walk over hot coals without burning their feet, thanks to self-empowering motivational activity coupled with fire-retardant heels. They complained that the embers wouldn't stay hot long enough for them to walk across them. Sheila examined the cinders and realized with a shock that the ninnies weren't using charcoal, but rather cordite! It was a miracle that it hadn't already blown them all sky-high! No less a miracle was that her gaze failed to detonate the highly explosive powder. She shared with the walkers the bag of charcoal briquettes that she was fortuitously carrying, then ran into the rice paddy to head off the fleeing macaque. She had just passed the grounded dirigible when a huge explosion turned the locksmiths--who weren't so lucky after all--into locksmithereens.\n\nThe blast distracted Bob long enough for Sheila to overtake him, and it took no more than a sidelong glance to convince him to return with her to find Bleiber.\n\nAnd now, Miss Sebastos was in a quandary. She had reached the top of the ladder and pushed open the front of the hot beverage machine, only to find giant starlings \"Guarding the Hallway.\" If this was a Tai Chi movement, it was the first one she'd ever seen that involved semiautomatic weapons, for each of the birds was armed--or winged, really--with an Automat Kalashnikov, one of which was pointed at her. She pushed past the \"extra cream\" nozzle and clambered slowly out of the machine effecting the \"Wave Hands Like Clouds\" posture. She stood silently, assessing the situation. There were ten birds in all. Four were in a corner of the corridor pecking at what smelled like a nematode pizza. Four more tended to a nest in which lay a dozen glossy eggplants. One hopped nervously back and forth, occasionally glancing out the window. They were harmless. The one that still had its rifle trained on her, however, wasn't, for it had an itchy trigger beak.

She knew from Dr. Bleiber's psychological profile that he had an abnormal fear of nematodes, so she abruptly dropped into the \"Worm Crawls on Hot Pavement\" position. Bleiber immediately cowered and backed into Sheila, knocking off her sunglasses. She quickly averted her eyes, but a stray W ray grazed the dirigible's tether, severing it. With a soft wheeze, the airship lifted gently into the sky. By the time Bob got to the doorway with the Tai Chia pets, it was too far to jump. \"Mawk!\" he understated, as the craft rapidly ascended, approximating the trajectory Icarus once took from Crete. As Dr. Bleiber gesticulated futilely to Bob, Miss Sebastos escaped into the Tai Chi building.\n\nIgnoring the doctor, Sheila got a fix on the dirigible, then blinked twice. Two pencil thin ribbons of W rays shot out from her eyes and poked two hubcap-size holes in the ship's dacron envelope. The hull began to deflate and the dirigible headed down, emitting dual raspberries a minor third apart.\n\nMeanwhile, a level-headed Bob had used skills that had lain dormant since he'd been a roustabout aboard Cousteau's Calypso to repair the aquarium. After refilling it, he gathered up the twelve fish a-flopping and eased them back into the water. He even administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation on one that had gone into oxygen-deprivation shock. In the process, he unwittingly \"juggled the piranha\" several times, but the toothy fish cut him some slack. This time.\n\nWhap! Miss Sebastos was back in her classroom, whacking a ruler against her palm as if nothing had happened. In front of her, eighteen giant starlings adopted the \"Grasping Sparrow's Tail\" posture. But instead of employing a gentle stroking motion, they used their beaks to fiercely tear into the imaginary birds' tail feathers. And yet they did so in a manner that conformed to Miss Sebastos' rhythm. Glancing out the window, she saw her dirigible spiraling slowly down into the adjacent rice paddy. When she spotted that damned macaque making off with her Tai Chia pets, she momentarily lost her (whap-ap!) rhythm. The starlings immediately became disoriented. And dangerous. They beat the air with their powerful wings, creating their own \"Blowing Mountain Over\" movement.\n\nJust at that moment, Dr. Bleiber entered the rear of the classroom. When he spotted the instructor, he yelled \"stop!\" That is, he meant to yell stop. But in all the excitement, he reverted to his native Finnish, saying instead \"Aja hiljaa sillalla,\" or, \"drive quietly on the bridge.\" This non sequitur drove the birds even deeper into disorientation. As Bleiber was trying to battle his way through the sea of flailing wings and failing, Miss Sebastos retreated into her office. She locked her door, then squeezed the head of the Annette Mouseketeer paperweight on her desk. A secret passageway opened in the wall, revealing the bottom of a ladder that led up to a hot beverage machine on the fifth floor Post Ophthalmological Care Unit in Saint Salmon's Hospital. Grasping the rungs--she never could get used to the way they faded in and out of focus--Miss Sebastos pulled the panel closed and started up.\n\nSheila, meanwhile, had stopped to counsel members of the United Locksmiths Guild, who were attempting their first firewalk--that's when people walk over hot coals without burning their feet, thanks to self-empowering motivational activity coupled with fire-retardant heels. They complained that the embers wouldn't stay hot long enough for them to walk across them. Sheila examined the cinders and realized with a shock that the ninnies weren't using charcoal, but rather cordite! It was a miracle that it hadn't already blown them all sky-high! No less a miracle was that her gaze failed to detonate the highly explosive powder. She shared with the walkers the bag of charcoal briquettes that she was fortuitously carrying, then ran into the rice paddy to head off the fleeing macaque. She had just passed the grounded dirigible when a huge explosion turned the locksmiths--who weren't so lucky after all--into locksmithereens.\n\nThe blast distracted Bob long enough for Sheila to overtake him, and it took no more than a sidelong glance to convince him to return with her to find Bleiber.\n\nAnd now, Miss Sebastos was in a quandary. She had reached the top of the ladder and pushed open the front of the hot beverage machine, only to find giant starlings \"Guarding the Hallway.\" If this was a Tai Chi movement, it was the first one she'd ever seen that involved semiautomatic weapons, for each of the birds was armed--or winged, really--with an Automat Kalashnikov, one of which was pointed at her. She pushed past the \"extra cream\" nozzle and clambered slowly out of the machine effecting the \"Wave Hands Like Clouds\" posture. She stood silently, assessing the situation. There were ten birds in all. Four were in a corner of the corridor pecking at what smelled like a nematode pizza. Four more tended to a nest in which lay a dozen glossy eggplants. One hopped nervously back and forth, occasionally glancing out the window. They were harmless. The one that still had its rifle trained on her, however, wasn't, for it had an itchy trigger beak. But then Fate, last heard from during Ruby Primavera's impromptu career change, intervened.\n\nA dozen locksmithereens suddenly smashed into the fifth floor windows of Saint Salmon's Hospital. Simultaneously, Miss Sebastos altered her movement ever so slightly, turning the generic clouds into cumulonimbuses. A downpour ensued, during which most of the bewildered birds took", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 404222, "pt_loc": 40691608, "pt_shuffle_idx": 23739686, "doc_index_f": 37214962, "doc_index_l": 37214963, "offset_f": 178, "offset_l": 1648, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 38, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [400, 1649]} -{"pt_doc": "The building next to my house is better than the store downtown, because the _ is old.\nOption 1: building\nOption 2: store\nAnswer: 2<|endoftext|>\u00a0 The solution is a DUO SIX, with its two independent cables properly-connected \u201cpre-volume\u201d to optimally control your two separate pickup signals at any volumes or blends.\u00a0 No more \u201cmud tone\u201d!\n\nSolder the DUO SIX\u2019s two RED wires to the input lugs of the dual volume pots, where each pickup\u2019s HOT output wires are presently soldered.\u00a0 The deeper .047\u00b5F BLUE cable controls the neck pickup, and the warmer .022\u00b5F RED cable controls the bridge pickup.\u00a0 For optimal performance and balanced output levels, the bridge pickup\u2019s EQ range is voiced about one octave higher than the neck pickup\u2019s EQ range.\u00a0 See the instructions above for connecting the CLEAR and stranded shield wires.\n\nAlternately, the\u00a0DUO SIX\u00a0may be installed in a\u00a0single-volume-knob\u00a0bass or guitar, such as Fender\u2019s P-Bass and Telecaster.\u00a0 By connecting only one\u2026 or both cables to the volume pot\u2026 the installer\u2019s choice between\u00a0four contrasting tone ranges is easily made: \u00a0.069\u00b5F (cables in parallel) .047\u00b5F\u00a0(blue cable) .022\u00b5F\u00a0(red cable) or .015\u00b5F (cables in series).\u00a0 This versatility allows one\u00a0DUO SIX\u00a0to be shared and transferred within a variety of guitars and basses, as may be required for recording or live performances.\u00a0\u00a0 See the Stellartone website for series & parallel cable wiring instructions.\n\n- end of instructions -\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\n\nClick here for printer-ready PDF<|endoftext|>\n\nBack to Childcare Index\n\nLabor Exploitation Prostitution\n\nLabor Exploitation Prostitution\n\nChild Labor\n\nI. Introduction: Child Labor Incidents\n\nChild Labor is a global moral crisis. According to the United Nations Children\u2019s Fund (UNICEF) and the International Labor Organization (ILO) in a 1998 study, there are about 250 million children in the world, aged 5 to 14, who work full time to earn a daily wage (\u201cEliminating Child Labor\u201d, 2001). Moreover, there are about 150 to 200 million children, majority of them are girls, who work to provide for their families. In most of the countries were child labor is widespread, some 80% of working children get to work 7 days a week. In Asia, 90 million children are laborers. In South Asian countries, there is an increasing number of incidents where young girls are taken to prostitution and sexual harassment. Meanwhile, the ILO found out that boys aged between 6 and 10 are shipped to the Middle East because they are preferred to become came race jockeys. In Africa, about 33% of children sell their labor. Indeed, Africa has he highest proportion of child laborers in the world. More than 70% of children in Sierra Leone and Niger work (Allison, 2003). And in all, there are about one in every three African children working on a daily basis.\n\nIn Latin America, there are about 5.1 million children working as common laborers. What is most surprising, however, is that child labor still persists even in developed countries. In Spain and in other Western European countries, the average number of child laborers per countries is about 100,000. In the United Kingdom, the number is staggering: 40% of the children involved in labor are even illegal (\u201cEliminating Child Labor\u201d, 2001). In the entire developing world, there is just the cold hard fact that 19% of all children work.\n\nII. Children Exploitation\n\nThe worse forms of child labor are those that let children work in hazardous environments. Hundreds of boys in Colombia work in a labor-intensive coal mines. Because of their diminutive sizes, Colombian children are the ones who are told to slip through low and narrow passageways to pick small coals. (Weiss man, 1997). And then these children carry sacks of coal out of the open. Exposed to high levels of dust, most of these children grow up with lung diseases. In Cambodia, children work in brick factories, often laboring bare-handed and bare-footed. Bricks breaking one\u2019s feet or hands are common and many are cut while working with heavy machinery. The biggest complaint, however, wasn\u2019t the high incidents of injury, but of fatigue. These children, when interviewed by the Asian-American Free Labor Institute, were discovered to have been laboring because of their debt with their employer. Burma, Thailand, Nepal, India, Vietnam and Cambodia are countries with high incidence of young girls being sold to prostitution, which markets prostitution to Europe, Middle East, Australia, Hawaii, Japan\u2014you name it.\n\nThe following just mentioned are forms of child labors at its worse form. The UNICEF and other international agencies all state that the most despicable child laborers are those that are similar to slavery\u2014indeed, like the trafficking of children, serfdom, forced labor, and serfdom. We have seen in Sierra Leone and in some parts of African that children are even used in armed conflict. Oftentimes, the children\u2019s parents accrue debt that they pledge their sons and daughters to pay for it. Although, debts are small, the children lose their entire childhood\u2014and in some cases, their entire lives\u2014to pay off the debt that is often built by a fraudulent accounting mechanism employed by the debt holders (Ibid). This is a usual practice in Nepal, wherein they call their bonded laborers as \u201cKamaiya\u201d, which keeps families in debt for generations. But it is in India and Pakistan that debt bondage is most pervasive because it is supported by longstanding traditions against low caste groups and/or minority ethnic groups.\n\nIII. When Child Labor became a World Crisis\n\nChild labor has existed for centuries. It has only come to light as a problem in the early 20th century, when Lewis Parker, a South Carolina cotton miller owner, testified against a proposed Congressional legislation that would outlaw child labor completely in the United States. What made child labor a problem was that there were people supporting it despite being immoral, and they were doing it in the name of their individual business. Fortunately, history was enlightened enough to point out that Parker was wrong. Later, most U.S. states have stopped the use of Child labor. Starting in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson regulated child labor; and in 1938, the Fair Labor Standards Act completely banned child labor. It would take several more years to enforce this law throughout the country; still, the United States was one of the first countries in the world to have effectively eradicated it. Now, the debate of child labor reaches a worldwide scale. And it has become a global crisis because what Lewis Parker was clamoring against is being replayed by third world countries\u2014that child labor is needed in their rising poverty.\n\nAmericans were reminded on the presence of child labor beginning with a labor activist who revealed that Kathie Lee Grifford\u2019s, a day-time talk show host, line of sportswear was made by youngsters laboring in long hours in a Honduran sweatshop (Berlau, 1997). Since that time, child labor issues have haunted Capitol Hill. The truth was, the United States has really got rid of child labor, but behind the curtains many U.S. multinational companies have been exploiting it, especially in the apparel industry such as Nike, Reebok, and Liz Claiborne. Consequently, former President Bill Clinton organized an industry wide agreement on U.S. companies not to employ children in their overseas factories. This was coupled with a legislative interference that would ensure that bans and sanctions would be in placed in countries who export products made by children.\n\nOne example of such legislation was introduced by Sen. Tom Harkin, a Democrat from Iowa. In 1992, he introduced the Child Labor Deterrence Act (or simply the Harkin\u2019s bill), which completely banned imported good made by laborers below 14 years of age (Lopez & Calva, 2001). Chris Smith, a former Republican Representative of New Jersey, added to the ban that if countries were found to exploit children as laborers, the U.S. would cut off its foreign aid to them. Smith equated that putting a 9-year-old in a sweatshop is equivalent to slavery or unlawful imprisonment. Smith was particularly adamant against Chinese factories.\n\nIV. Causes of Child Labor\n\nThere are numerous factors that contribute to the growth of child labor. The most important one is economic globalization. Because globalization intensified price competition for a global consumer marker, everyone just started to look any means that could lower their cost. Child labor has always been equated with lower cost, because children\u2019s wages are very low, they don\u2019t complain and they easily agree to work long hours with no overtime pay. Indeed, this is the very reason that a number of children are increasing in sewing factories in Haiti, Honduras and Guatemala, who make the products of Disney, Wal-Mart, Philips, Van Heusen, etc (Weiss man, 1997). Unregulated and unchecked, there is truly no stopping the growth of child labor.\n\nBut, as empirical evidence shows, the most robust determinant of child labor are still the poverty status of the household and education (Lopez & Calva, 2001). Surprisingly, the wages that the children does not affect the decision of the parents to put their children to work; it only matters to them that because of their poverty status, their children has to work one way or another. Moreover, it has been found that other factors such as", "base_doc": "\u00a0 The solution is a DUO SIX, with its two independent cables properly-connected \u201cpre-volume\u201d to optimally control your two separate pickup signals at any volumes or blends.\u00a0 No more \u201cmud tone\u201d!\n\nSolder the DUO SIX\u2019s two RED wires to the input lugs of the dual volume pots, where each pickup\u2019s HOT output wires are presently soldered.\u00a0 The deeper .047\u00b5F BLUE cable controls the neck pickup, and the warmer .022\u00b5F RED cable controls the bridge pickup.\u00a0 For optimal performance and balanced output levels, the bridge pickup\u2019s EQ range is voiced about one octave higher than the neck pickup\u2019s EQ range.\u00a0 See the instructions above for connecting the CLEAR and stranded shield wires.\n\nAlternately, the\u00a0DUO SIX\u00a0may be installed in a\u00a0single-volume-knob\u00a0bass or guitar, such as Fender\u2019s P-Bass and Telecaster.\u00a0 By connecting only one\u2026 or both cables to the volume pot\u2026 the installer\u2019s choice between\u00a0four contrasting tone ranges is easily made: \u00a0.069\u00b5F (cables in parallel) .047\u00b5F\u00a0(blue cable) .022\u00b5F\u00a0(red cable) or .015\u00b5F (cables in series).\u00a0 This versatility allows one\u00a0DUO SIX\u00a0to be shared and transferred within a variety of guitars and basses, as may be required for recording or live performances.\u00a0\u00a0 See the Stellartone website for series & parallel cable wiring instructions.\n\n- end of instructions -\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\n\nClick here for printer-ready PDF<|endoftext|>\n\nBack to Childcare Index\n\nLabor Exploitation Prostitution\n\nLabor Exploitation Prostitution\n\nChild Labor\n\nI.

Some 10-25% of persons with diverticula develop diverticulitis as a complication, and 10-25% of them have a complicated course. Diverticula can develop in any part of the large intestine, but they most commonly cause inflammation and discomfort in the sigmoid colon in the left lower abdomen, and so the disease is usually called sigmoid diverticulitis.\n\nPersons with diverticula often complain of crampy pains, usually in the left lower abdomen, flatulence and irregular bowel movements, all of which can suggest irritable bowel syndrome. Inflamed diverticula cause such symptoms as constipation or diarrhea, fever, nausea and vomiting, and can culminate in peritonitis when a diverticulum perforates; parameters of inflammation, particularly white blood cells, are elevated. Patients with diverticulitis can expect to have flares; these influence quality of life and also pose a permanent risk of perforation. There is also the danger that diverticula can bleed.

Every human life starts with the fusion of an egg cell and a sperm cell, whereby the DNA content of both is combined into one cell and the blueprint of the human body is established. The DNA of this cell contains all information necessary to form a complete organism. During the development of the embryo, every newly formed cell will either continue to divide thereby contributing to expansion, or will specialize to form certain tissues or to carry out particular functions. The latter process is termed differentiation and underlies the development of all different cell types and tissue types present in the body. Together, the cells in a multicellular organism collaborate to support the germ cells: the cells that will form eggs or sperm to generate a next generation being the ultimate goal. In principle, a human body is a system consisting of many (1014, or one hundred thousand billion) cells that are grouped in specialized tissues and organs. Still, each somatic cell contains the complete DNA package, which is replicated during every cell cycle and is passed on to both daughter cells at cell division. Cell division is central to renewal of cell types with a limited life span such as blood and skin cells. It is estimated that 200 billion (109) new cells are generated in a human body every day, which equals approximately 2,500,000 new cells per second.<|endoftext|>\n\nImagine", "base_doc": " therefore interferes with the family member or friend obtaining a far-essential increasing suffer from.\n\nDetachment does not necessarily mean staying away from the sensation of empathy; and shutting off of any and all emotionally charged contacts, it really is a lot more of an knowledge of empathetic sentiments enabling you the location needed to rationally decide upon if you should get involved or be stressed out through reactions of the rest.

Some 10-25% of persons with diverticula develop diverticulitis as a complication, and 10-25% of them have a complicated course. Diverticula can develop in any part of the large intestine, but they most commonly cause inflammation and discomfort in the sigmoid colon in the left lower abdomen, and so the disease is usually called sigmoid diverticulitis.\n\nPersons with diverticula often complain of crampy pains, usually in the left lower abdomen, flatulence and irregular bowel movements, all of which can suggest irritable bowel syndrome. Inflamed diverticula cause such symptoms as constipation or diarrhea, fever, nausea and vomiting, and can culminate in peritonitis when a diverticulum perforates; parameters of inflammation, particularly white blood cells, are elevated. Patients with diverticulitis can expect to have flares; these influence quality of life and also pose a permanent risk of perforation. There is also the danger that diverticula can bleed. If diverticulitis recurs, or if the first attack is especially serious and complicated, surgery is recommended.\n\nColon surgery has now become routine.

He barely made it to the door and squeezed through to a surprised look from the Conductor.\n\n\"Where are you going?\" the man asked him.\n\nBlackout held up one of the flight cases he'd lugged with him. When he'd first entered the Tree with Eostre, the cases had seemed to weigh a ton, and by the end of the day's walking, 20 tons. He thought his arms were going to fall off for certain. And while the second day was nearly as agonizing, the third had been better. Following the stop over at Granny\u2019s house, he found that the cases seem to weigh next to nothing. At first, he\u2019d thought it had to do with the food, that it was magical, but when they\u2019d entered the train and he\u2019d taken off his jacket, Lara had pinched his arms and waggled her eyebrows suggestively, adding a \u201ccheck out the pipes,\u201d before walking away. He\u2019d been forced to sit down immediately.\n\nNow, he could hold the case without any apparent effort. The Conductor noted the blaster\u2019s warning sticker on the exterior of the case, nodded in assessment of the possibilities such a case could warrant, and waved Blackout on.\n\nHe\u2019d always wondered what it would be like to climb along the edge of a speeding train, and he realized it was nowhere near as easy as it seemed to be in movies. The wind tore at his face, and the barrier wall of ice which loomed increasingly large in front of them provided both a sense of urgency and danger. The gates at the end of the tracks were still closed.\n\nBlackout followed Granny, Courtney and Lara to the front of the train, clinging to the hand rail with one hand and holding the flight case in the other. They reached the foot board over top of the pilot truck, and the intensity of the wind against Blackout\u2019s face doubled. He gasped for breath, and found it hard to keep his eyes open without tearing, which resulted in frozen droplets forming on his eyelids.\n\nGranny performed a movement that reminded Blackout of Tai Chi, while intoning a sing song chant which made him think of Enya\u2019s music for some reason. The blast of the wind stopped immediately. Blackout gaped at the shield Granny had conjured between the elements and them, a bubble of protection.\n\n\u201cThat\u2019ll keep the wind and snow out,\u201d she said. \u201cBut it will also prevent your arrows from flying true \u2013 it\u2019ll be like shooting through water, so I\u2019ll have to release it when you\u2019re ready to fire.\u201d\n\nCourtney was nodding, already down on one knee, getting her bow ready to fire. Lara started, a little embarrassed it seemed, and began prepping her bow as well.\n\n\u201cGranny,\u201d Lara said, \u201cI\u2019m really not that good a shot \u2013 I could barely hit things in the coffee shop when I was standing still. What is it we\u2019re supposed to hit?\u201d\n\n\u201cThe top of the wall,\u201d the Conductor said, stepping onto the pilot truck. \u201cUp there, at the top of the battlement.\u201d\n\nThey all looked up.\n\n\u201cYou\u2019ve got to be kidding me,\u201d Courtney said. \u201cThat\u2019s nearly 500 yards!\u201d\n\n\u201cAnd closing!\u201d the Conductor replied. \u201cAnd I think with your friend\u2019s little box of tricks, one of you might be able to get us access to the lake beyond the wall\u2026otherwise, we\u2019re going to come to a very abrupt stop!\u201d\n\n\u201cWhat are you talking about?\u201d Lara asked, incredulous. \u201cThis is ridiculous!\u201d\n\n\u201cI think I know what he means,\u201d Granny said, looking at the sticker on the outside of Blackout\u2019s flight case. \u201cBest get whatever it is you need out of there quick boy.\u201d\n\nBlackout dropped the case to the foot board and popped the latches. \u201cI think this will do for whoever\u2019s firing to the top of the battlement,\u201d he said, holding out a small cardboard tube and a roll of electrician\u2019s tape.\n\nThe Conductor grabbed both and gestured to Courtney, who handed him an arrow. Blackout lifted the first level of pyro and pulled out another cardboard tube; this one was considerably larger than the first. He grabbed one of Lara\u2019s arrows and began strapping the tube to it.\n\n\u201cThat\u2019s too big,\u201d Lara said. \u201cI won\u2019t be able to shoot that straight!\u201d\n\n\u201cAim high,\u201d Courtney said.\n\n\u201cYou\u2019ll be able to do it,\u201d Granny said.\n\n\u201cGate\u2019s not getting any farther away!\u201d the Conductor announced.\n\nCourtney took her arrow back from him and nocked it. She drew her arm back and aimed at the top of the battlement.\n\n\u201cWait!\u201d Blackout shouted. \u201cIt needs to be lit! The fuse!\u201d\n\nGranny made a quick gesture, fingers splayed, palm out, at the arrow and the fuse was lit.\n\n\u201cCan I shoot?\u201d Courtney asked, looking nervously at the fuse.\n\n\u201cNot yet,\u201d Granny replied, as Lara stood and drew her arrow back as well. Granny lit the second fuse.\n\n\u201cWould really like to not be close to this thing when it goes off,\u201d Courtney said.\n\n\u201cYou\u2019ll be fine!\u201d Blackout said. \u201cIt fires away from you!\u201d\n\n\u201cNot comforting,\u201d Courtney replied.\n\nGranny was chanting in a low voice, one hand on each of the girl\u2019s shoulders. A glow moved from her hands to surround both girls.\n\n\u201cI\u2019m going to release the shield,\u201d she said. \u201cOn the count of three\u2026and then you fire. One\u2026\u201d\n\nA blast of light erupted from the top of the battlement, slicing into the ice just ahead of them, cutting towards the tracks.\n\n\u201cTHREE!\u201d Granny shouted, and the shield was suddenly gone and wind, snow and now water erupting from the cut in the ice assaulted them.\n\n\u201cSh", "base_doc": " through the car window, he could see a mass of red coats surging towards the wreckage, running over the ice, the sound of weapon fire drawing ever closer.\n\n* * * * * * *\n\nThe Leprechauns did not slow as they reached the train, but rather only halted to load a new clip or grenade into weapon before encircling the wreckage.

Blackout gaped at the shield Granny had conjured between the elements and them, a bubble of protection.\n\n\u201cThat\u2019ll keep the wind and snow out,\u201d she said. \u201cBut it will also prevent your arrows from flying true \u2013 it\u2019ll be like shooting through water, so I\u2019ll have to release it when you\u2019re ready to fire.\u201d\n\nCourtney was nodding, already down on one knee, getting her bow ready to fire. Lara started, a little embarrassed it seemed, and began prepping her bow as well.\n\n\u201cGranny,\u201d Lara said, \u201cI\u2019m really not that good a shot \u2013 I could barely hit things in the coffee shop when I was standing still. What is it we\u2019re supposed to hit?\u201d\n\n\u201cThe top of the wall,\u201d the Conductor said, stepping onto the pilot truck. \u201cUp there, at the top of the battlement.\u201d\n\nThey all looked up.\n\n\u201cYou\u2019ve got to be kidding me,\u201d Courtney said. \u201cThat\u2019s nearly 500 yards!\u201d\n\n\u201cAnd closing!\u201d the Conductor replied. \u201cAnd I think with your friend\u2019s little box of tricks, one of you might be able to get us access to the lake beyond the wall\u2026otherwise, we\u2019re going to come to a very abrupt stop!\u201d\n\n\u201cWhat are you talking about?\u201d Lara asked, incredulous. \u201cThis is ridiculous!\u201d\n\n\u201cI think I know what he means,\u201d Granny said, looking at the sticker on the outside of Blackout\u2019s flight case. \u201cBest get whatever it is you need out of there quick boy.\u201d\n\nBlackout dropped the case to the foot board and popped the latches. \u201cI think this will do for whoever\u2019s firing to the top of the battlement,\u201d he said, holding out a small cardboard tube and a roll of electrician\u2019s tape.\n\nThe Conductor grabbed both and gestured to Courtney, who handed him an arrow. Blackout lifted the first level of pyro and pulled out another cardboard tube; this one was considerably larger than the first. He grabbed one of Lara\u2019s arrows and began strapping the tube to it.\n\n\u201cThat\u2019s too big,\u201d Lara said. \u201cI won\u2019t be able to shoot that straight!\u201d\n\n\u201cAim high,\u201d Courtney said.\n\n\u201cYou\u2019ll be able to do it,\u201d Granny said.\n\n\u201cGate\u2019s not getting any farther away!\u201d the Conductor announced.\n\nCourtney took her arrow back from him and nocked it. She drew her arm back and aimed at the top of the battlement.\n\n\u201cWait!\u201d Blackout shouted. \u201cIt needs to be lit! The fuse!\u201d\n\nGranny made a quick gesture, fingers splayed, palm out, at the arrow and the fuse was lit.\n\n\u201cCan I shoot?\u201d Courtney asked, looking nervously at the fuse.\n\n\u201cNot yet,\u201d Granny replied, as Lara stood and drew her arrow back as well. Granny lit the second fuse.\n\n\u201cWould really like to not be close to this thing when it goes off,\u201d Courtney said.\n\n\u201cYou\u2019ll be fine!\u201d Blackout said. \u201cIt fires away from you!\u201d\n\n\u201cNot comforting,\u201d Courtney replied.\n\nGranny was chanting in a low voice, one hand on each of the girl\u2019s shoulders. A glow moved from her hands to surround both girls.\n\n\u201cI\u2019m going to release the shield,\u201d she said. \u201cOn the count of three\u2026and then you fire. One\u2026\u201d\n\nA blast of light erupted from the top of the battlement, slicing into the ice just ahead of them, cutting towards the tracks.\n\n\u201cTHREE!\u201d Granny shouted, and the shield was suddenly gone and wind, snow and now water erupting from the cut in the ice assaulted them.\n\n\u201cShoot!\u201d the Conductor yelled.\n\nCourtney loosed her arrow, and a moment behind her, Lara released hers.\n\nBlackout had done pyro at", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 409130, "pt_loc": 7722908, "pt_shuffle_idx": 143586013, "doc_index_f": 225058279, "doc_index_l": 225058279, "offset_f": 7067, "offset_l": 9115, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 35, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": "Ian taught Nelson how to land a ferocious punch , since _ could fight like a monster.\nOption 1: Ian\nOption 2: Nelson\nAnswer: 1<|endoftext|>6.

Howard\n\n1.\u00a0The Blood-Red Crescent\n\nTaramis, Queen of Khauran, awakened from a dream-haunted slumber to a silence that seemed more like the stillness of nighted catacombs than the normal quiet of a sleeping place. She lay staring into the darkness, wondering why the candles in their golden candelabra had gone out. A flecking of stars marked a gold-barred casement that lent no illumination to the interior of the chamber. But as Taramis lay there, she became aware of a spot of radiance glowing in the darkness before her. She watched, puzzled. It grew and its intensity deepened as it expanded, a widening disk of lurid light hovering against the dark velvet hangings of the opposite wall. Taramis caught her breath, starting up to a sitting position. A dark object was visible in that circle of light?a human head.\n\nIn a sudden panic the queen opened her lips to cry out for her maids; then she checked herself. The glow was more lurid, the head more vividly limned. It was a woman's head, small, delicately molded, superbly poised, with a high-piled mass of lustrous black hair. The face grew distinct as she stared?and it was the sight of this face which froze the cry in Taramis's throat. The features were her own! She might have been looking into a mirror which subtly altered her reflection, lending it a tigerish gleam of eye, a vindictive curl of lip.\n\n\"Ishtar!\" gasped Taramis. \"I am bewitched!\"\n\nAppallingly, the apparition spoke, and its voice was like honeyed venom.\n\n\"Bewitched? No, sweet sister! Here is no sorcery.\"\n\n\"Sister?\" stammered the bewildered girl. \"I have no sister.\"\n\n\"You never had a sister?\" came the sweet, poisonously mocking voice. \"Never a twin sister whose flesh was as soft as yours to caress or hurt?\"\n\n\"Why, once I had a sister,\" answered Taramis, still convinced that she was in the grip of some sort of nightmare. \"But she died.\"\n\nThe beautiful face in the disk was convulsed with the aspect of a fury; so hellish became its expression that Taramis, cowering back, half expected to see snaky locks writhe hissing about the ivory brow.\n\n\"You lie!\" The accusation was spat from between the snarling red lips. \"She did not die! Fool! Oh, enough of this mummery! Look?and let your sight be blasted!\"\n\nLight ran suddenly along the hangings like flaming serpents, and incredibly the candles in the golden sticks flared up again. Taramis crouched on her velvet couch, her lithe legs flexed beneath her, staring wide-eyed at the pantherish figure which posed mockingly before her. It was as if she gazed upon another Taramis, identical with herself in every contour of feature and limb, yet animated by an alien and evil personality. The face of this stranger waif reflected the opposite of every characteristic the countenance of the queen denoted. Lust and mystery sparkled in her scintillant eyes, cruelty lurked in the curl of her full red lips. Each movement of her supple body was subtly suggestive. Her coiffure imitated that of the queen's, on her feet were gilded sandals such as Taramis wore in her boudoir. The sleeveless, low-necked silk tunic, girdled at the waist with a cloth-of-gold cincture, was a duplicate of the queen's night-garment.\n\n\"Who are you?\" gasped Taramis, an icy chill she could not explain creeping along her spine. \"Explain your presence before I call my ladies-in-waiting to summon the guard!\"\n\n\"Scream until the roof beams crack,\" callously answered the stranger. \"Your sluts will not wake till dawn, though the palace spring into flames about them. Your guardsmen will not hear your squeals; they have been sent out of this wing of the palace.\"\n\n\"What!\" exclaimed Taramis, stiffening with outraged majesty. \"Who dared give my guardsmen such a command?\"\n\n\"I did, sweet sister,\" sneered the other girl. \"A little while ago, before I entered. They thought it was their darling adored queen. Ha! How beautifully I acted the part! With what imperious dignity, softened by womanly sweetness, did I address the great louts who knelt in their armor and plumed helmets!\"\n\nTaramis felt as if a stifling net of bewilderment were being drawn about her.\n\n\"Who are you?\" she cried desperately. \"What madness is this? Why do you come here?\"\n\n\"Who am I?\" There was the spite of a she-cobra's hiss in the soft response. The girl stepped to the edge of the couch, grasped the queen's white shoulders with fierce fingers, and bent to glare full into the startled eyes of Taramis. And under the spell of that hypnotic glare, the queen forgot to resent the unprecedented outrage of violent hands laid on regal flesh.\n\n\"Fool!\" gritted the girl between her teeth. \"Can you ask? Can you wonder? I am Salome!\"\n\n\"Salome!\" Taramis breathed the word, and the hairs prickled on her scalp as she realized the incredible, numbing truth of the statement. \"I thought you died within the hour of your birth,\" she said feebly.\n\n\"So thought many,\" answered the woman who called herself Salome. \"They carried me into the desert to die, damn them! I, a mewing, puling babe whose life was so young it was scarcely the flicker of a candle. And do you know why they bore me forth to die?\"\n\n\"I?I have heard the story?\" faltered Taramis.\n\nSalome laughed fiercely, and slapped her bosom. The low-necked tunic left the upper parts of her firm breasts bare, and between them there shone a curious mark?a crescent, red as blood.\n\n\"The mark of the witch!\" cried Taramis, recoiling.\n\n\"Aye!\" Salome's laughter was dagger-edged with hate. \"The curse of the kings of Khauran! Aye, they tell the tale in the market-places, with wagging beards and rolling eyes, the pious fools! They tell how the first queen of our line had traffic with a fiend of darkness and bore him a daughter who lives in foul legendry to this day. And thereafter in each century a girl baby was born into the Askhaurian dynasty, with a scarlet half-moon between her breasts, that signified her destiny.\n\n\"Every century a witch shall be born.\" So ran the ancient curse. And so it has come to pass. Some were slain at birth, as they sought to slay me. Some walked the earth as witches, proud daughters of Khauran, with the moon of hell burning upon their ivory bosoms.

Howard\n\n1.\u00a0The Blood-Red Crescent\n\nTaramis, Queen of Khauran, awakened from a dream-haunted slumber to a silence that seemed more like the stillness of nighted catacombs than the normal quiet of a sleeping place. She lay staring into the darkness, wondering why the candles in their golden candelabra had gone out. A flecking of stars marked a gold-barred casement that lent no illumination to the interior of the chamber. But as Taramis lay there, she became aware of a spot of radiance glowing in the darkness before her. She watched, puzzled. It grew and its intensity deepened as it expanded, a widening disk of lurid light hovering against the dark velvet hangings of the opposite wall. Taramis caught her breath, starting up to a sitting position. A dark object was visible in that circle of light?a human head.\n\nIn a sudden panic the queen opened her lips to cry out for her maids; then she checked herself. The glow was more lurid, the head more vividly limned. It was a woman's head, small, delicately molded, superbly poised, with a high-piled mass of lustrous black hair. The face grew distinct as she stared?and it was the sight of this face which froze the cry in Taramis's throat. The features were her own! She might have been looking into a mirror which subtly altered her reflection, lending it a tigerish gleam of eye, a vindictive curl of lip.\n\n\"Ishtar!\" gasped Taramis. \"I am bewitched!\"\n\nAppallingly, the apparition spoke, and its voice was like honeyed venom.\n\n\"Bewitched? No, sweet sister! Here is no sorcery.\"\n\n\"Sister?\" stammered the bewildered girl. \"I have no sister.\"\n\n\"You never had a sister?\" came the sweet, poisonously mocking voice. \"Never a twin sister whose flesh was as soft as yours to caress or hurt?\"\n\n\"Why, once I had a sister,\" answered Taramis, still convinced that she was in the grip of some sort of nightmare. \"But she died.\"\n\nThe beautiful face in the disk was convulsed with the aspect of a fury; so hellish became its expression that Taramis, cowering back, half expected to see snaky locks writhe hissing about the ivory brow.\n\n\"You lie!\" The accusation was spat from between the snarling red lips. \"She did not die! Fool! Oh, enough of this mummery! Look?and let your sight be blasted!\"\n\nLight ran suddenly along the hangings like flaming serpents, and incredibly the candles in the golden sticks flared up again. Taramis crouched on her velvet couch, her lithe legs flexed beneath her, staring wide-eyed at the pantherish figure which posed mockingly before her. It was as if she gazed upon another Taramis, identical with herself in every contour of feature and limb, yet animated by an alien and evil personality. The face of this stranger waif reflected the opposite of every characteristic the countenance of the queen denoted. Lust and mystery sparkled in her scintillant eyes, cruelty lurked in the curl of her full red lips. Each movement of her supple body was subtly suggestive. Her coiffure imitated that of the queen's, on her feet were gilded sandals such as Taramis wore in her boudoir. The sleeveless, low-necked silk tunic, girdled at the waist with a cloth-of-gold cincture, was a duplicate of the queen's night-garment.\n\n\"Who are you?\" gasped Taramis, an icy chill she could not explain creeping along her spine. \"Explain your presence before I call my ladies-in-waiting to summon the guard!\"\n\n\"Scream until the roof beams crack,\" callously answered the stranger. \"Your sluts will not wake till dawn, though the palace spring into flames about them. Your guardsmen will not hear your squeals; they have been sent out of this wing of the palace.\"\n\n\"What!\" exclaimed Taramis, stiffening with outraged majesty. \"Who dared give my guardsmen such a command?\"\n\n\"I did, sweet sister,\" sneered the other girl. \"A little while ago, before I entered. They thought it was their darling adored queen. Ha! How beautifully I acted the part! With what imperious dignity, softened by womanly sweetness, did I address the great louts who knelt in their armor and plumed helmets!\"\n\nTaramis felt as if a stifling net of bewilderment were being drawn about her.\n\n\"Who are you?\" she cried desperately. \"What madness is this? Why do you come here?\"\n\n\"Who am I?\" There was the spite of a she-cobra's hiss in the soft response. The girl stepped to the edge of the couch, grasped the queen's white shoulders with fierce fingers, and bent to glare full into the startled eyes of Taramis. And under the spell of that hypnotic glare, the queen forgot to resent the unprecedented outrage of violent hands laid on regal flesh.\n\n\"Fool!\" gritted the girl between her teeth. \"Can you ask? Can you wonder? I am Salome!\"\n\n\"Salome!\" Taramis breathed the word, and the hairs prickled on her scalp as she realized the incredible, numbing truth of the statement. \"I thought you died within the hour of your birth,\" she said feebly.\n\n\"So thought many,\" answered the woman who called herself Salome. \"They carried me into the desert to die, damn them! I, a mewing, puling babe whose life was so young it was scarcely the flicker of a candle. And do you know why they bore me forth to die?\"\n\n\"I?I have heard the story?\" faltered Taramis.\n\nSalome laughed fiercely, and slapped her bosom. The low-necked tunic left the upper parts of her firm breasts bare, and between them there shone a curious mark?a crescent, red as blood.\n\n\"The mark of the witch!\" cried Taramis, recoiling.\n\n\"Aye!\" Salome's laughter was dagger-edged with hate. \"The curse of the kings of Khauran! Aye, they tell the tale in the market-places, with wagging beards and rolling eyes, the pious fools! They tell how the first queen of our line had traffic with a fiend of darkness and bore him a daughter who lives in foul legendry to this day. And thereafter in each century a girl baby was born into the Askhaurian dynasty, with a scarlet half-moon between her breasts, that signified her destiny.\n\n\"Every century a witch shall be born.\" So ran the ancient curse. And so it has come to pass. Some were slain at birth, as they sought to slay me. Some walked the earth as witches, proud daughters of Khauran, with the moon of hell burning upon their ivory bosoms. Each was named Salome. I too am Salome. It was always Salome, the witch. It will always be Salome, the witch, even when the mountains of ice have roared down from the pole and ground the civilizations to ruin, and a new world has risen from the ashes and dust?even then there shall be Salomes to walk the earth, to trap men's hearts by their sorcery, to dance before the kings of the world, to see the heads of the wise men fall at their pleasure.\"\n\n\"But?but you?\" stammered Taramis.\n\n\"I?\" The scintillant eyes burned like dark fires of mystery. \"They carried me into the desert far from the city, and laid me naked on the hot sand, under the flaming sun.

Time and again, I see restaurants with gigantic menus. All of those items require food to be bought ahead of time and stored, and since some stored food goes bad before you use it, a large menu just means waste. Cut the menu down to a 25 or 30 dinners at most. Be flexible on side dishes to let the customers pick what they want, and avoid fancy stuff not everyone wants, canned and frozen food (fresh is better), and if you're using the microwave you're losing customers. For that matter, every business needs to seriously look at it's \"menu\" of goods and services. Get rid of the worst-selling items (unless they are absolutely necessary to sell other items). Fire sale dead inventory and put the money back to work instead of being stored on a shelf in the form of unsold product.\n\n5. I watched an episode of On The Rocks (a show about doing a business makeover for a failing bar) and one element of the problem was that the managers were not up to the task of managing an inventory of fresh food, so they relied on more expensive (and less tasty) frozen foods from Costco. The expert came in and showed them how to do it right and how to order fresh food three times a week so it did not go bad. Within a month of the show being filmed, the bar in question was back to frozen food (obviously because the managers could not handle the mental strain of a fresh food inventory). But then, they also went back to other pre-television things (the name of the bar and those horrid smoke things).\n\nMonday, January 13, 2014\n\nThis Week at ADB, Inc., 5-11 January 2014\n\nSteve Cole reports:\n\nThis was a week in which the staff recovered from the Hideous Rotting Plague.

My leg is no longer costing me work time, the joint venture is running well, Jean is firmly installed in Amarillo, and there's nothing to hold us back. Let's look at each of the product lines that make up the Star Fleet Universe. (Just remember that these products cover the next 12 months, not the next 12 days!)\nCAPTAIN'S LOG: We're working on Captain's Log #48 right now (it will slide into February because the two Steves spent a week down with the plague), will put out Captain's Log #49 this summer, and have something really special in mind for the Golden Anniversary issue Captain's Log #50. Obviously, the series will go on into 2015 and beyond.\nSTAR FLEET BATTLES: We plan to finish up the Federation Master Starship Book. (It actually is done except for about a hundred ship drawings I have to create with Steven Petrick looking over my shoulder.) Then we'll move on to the Klingon Master Starship Book and see what else looks interesting. I suspect that Module X2 is a 2015 product.\nFEDERATION & EMPIRE: This product line is, as always, driven by the need to print counters. As we're out of the Bases sheet and Sheet N+O, we must do a production run in the first quarter. That will cover Minor Empires with the Vudar, Seltorians, and LDR and we will do one other product. That might be Tactical Operations (with a lot of new ships) or we just might do a new fighter/carrier countersheet for the massively revised 2014 edition of Fighter Operations.\nFEDERATION COMMANDER: We plan to take a pause from new \"attack\" modules and release some books, including the FC Tactics Manual and the Reference Starship Book. We're working on Borders of Madness and expect to see it in 2015.\n\nSTARLINE: We now have three miniatures lines: the classic 2400s (1/3788), the fancy 2500s (1/3125), and the multi-scale 2425s. All will get new ships this year. The 2400s will get two heavy war destroyers and the first two ships redesigned to be every bit as fancy as the 2500s. The 2500s will get the rest of the ships from ACTASF Book One (Tholian PC, DD, CA), plus new pewter versions of the unfortunate resin dreadnoughts, along with entirely new ships (Orion BR, DW, CA, BC, BCH, DN; Tholian TK5, DN). The 2425s will get the Jumbo Freighter and the long awaited gunboats. Obviously, those are just the first in what will be two dozen new ships.\n\nSTARMADA: Daniel Kast is already busy converting the empires from War & Peace to his system for the next book, which will also include a horde of new ships. At that point, he'll be caught up with what's in Federation Commander and for 2015 can start moving into the SFB material that has waited long enough.\nA CALL TO ARMS: Tony Thomas is working night and day to produce the revised ACTASF Book One, fixing everything that didn't really work in the first edition. We expect this to appear first as a PDF and a few months later as a book. (This is a trick we learned from our friend Steve Jackson who says it gives him a chance to catch the last few issues.) After that, it's on to ACTASF Book Two. We have decided that whatever goes into Book Two will be what the game system needs, not just the next FC product to be converted.\nPRIME DIRECTIVE: Away Team Log will appear as the first release of the year. Jean has working hard so that the Traveller Prime Directive Core Rulebook will be released no later that the early summer of 2014, after which Traveller Klingons should be easy to do. After the fourth Traveller book (in 2015) you can expect to see a new empire book and a new game system.\nSTAR FLEET MARINES will be supported by new scenarios in Captain's Log, but probably won't get the next installment until 2015.\nFEDERATION ADMIRAL, the long-awaited campaign manual, will be released this year. It is being structured to work with any of the four tactical games.\nBIG BOX GAMES: We want to move the company into fancy \"big box games\" done to mass market standards. That means very small (fancy and colorful) rule sheets, mounted boards, decks of cards, and plastic toys. First in line is Tribbles vs. Klingons which should see a Kickstarter sometime in February. (Those things are unbelievably complicated and we won't launch it until we're ready with the full presentation including example components, art, video, and a recipe for chocolate-chunk brownie cheesecake.) But don't think that Tribbles would be a one-time deal! We have other mass-market games waiting for their chance, including two sequels for Tribbles, Jay Waschak's Merchants of the Federation (a \"train game\"), the Siadek brothers' Battlestations Star Fleet, my own Klingon Rapid Assault Group, and the", "base_doc": "\n\n4. Time and again, I see restaurants with gigantic menus. All of those items require food to be bought ahead of time and stored, and since some stored food goes bad before you use it, a large menu just means waste. Cut the menu down to a 25 or 30 dinners at most. Be flexible on side dishes to let the customers pick what they want, and avoid fancy stuff not everyone wants, canned and frozen food (fresh is better), and if you're using the microwave you're losing customers. For that matter, every business needs to seriously look at it's \"menu\" of goods and services. Get rid of the worst-selling items (unless they are absolutely necessary to sell other items). Fire sale dead inventory and put the money back to work instead of being stored on a shelf in the form of unsold product.\n\n5. I watched an episode of On The Rocks (a show about doing a business makeover for a failing bar) and one element of the problem was that the managers were not up to the task of managing an inventory of fresh food, so they relied on more expensive (and less tasty) frozen foods from Costco. The expert came in and showed them how to do it right and how to order fresh food three times a week so it did not go bad. Within a month of the show being filmed, the bar in question was back to frozen food (obviously because the managers could not handle the mental strain of a fresh food inventory). But then, they also went back to other pre-television things (the name of the bar and those horrid smoke things).\n\nMonday, January 13, 2014\n\nThis Week at ADB, Inc., 5-11 January 2014\n\nSteve Cole reports:\n\nThis was a week in which the staff recovered from the Hideous Rotting Plague.

Conservatives have long attempted to discredit black social movements by casting them as criminal. In fact, the law-and-order rhetoric they\u2019ve espoused since the civil rights movement was invented to do just that.\n\nIn the 1950s, for example, Southern conservative lawmakers and law enforcement officials argued that acts of civil disobedience by black civil rights activists violated the law, and they criticized support for civil rights legislation as rewarding lawbreakers. Federal courts that struck down Jim Crow laws, they chided, were soft on crime.\n\nThis rhetoric went mainstream in the late 1960s following the major civil rights victories of the decade. Richard Nixon and avowed segregationist George Wallace both ran on law-and-order platforms in the 1968 presidential election. In his speeches and political ads, Nixon appealed to the \u201cnon-shouters and non-demonstrators\u201d who were \u201cnot racist\u201d and \u201cnot guilty of the crime that plagued the land,\u201d contrasting them with protesters who had \u201ccities up in smoke,\u201d a thinly veiled reference to the race riots of the decade. Nixon blamed the courts for \u201cgoing too far in weakening the peace forces against the criminal forces.\u201d He used this coded language to appeal to racist voters at a time when overt racism was becoming less socially acceptable.\n\nConservative politicians, pundits, and voters continued using this language to rail against the Black Power movement in the 1970s and tie organizations like the Black Panther Party to neighborhood crime and increased drug use. They pointed to the ongoing race riots and the increase in urban crime that accompanied the migration of black Southerners to Northern cities during that period, as evidence that the Panthers\u2019 philosophy of armed self-defense was contributing to violence and criminal activity. Nixon declared the war on drugs in 1971, prior to the explosion of the drug trade mid-decade, in a tough-on-crime move that functioned as a crackdown on the black people and communities that were supposedly \u201ccausing\u201d crime, and the philosophy of racial equality that had contributed to it. (And similarly coded language was used to justify criminal-justice policies that targeted black communities and produced the nation\u2019s mass incarceration crisis in the late 1980s and 1990s.)\n\n\nMurders of police aren\u2019t the fault of the Black Lives Matter movement.

I find it interesting that many women purchase an inferior quality shampoo and conditioner that does nothing good for their hair, and then wonder why their curls and coils feel dry, why their hair looks dull and why their hair is breaking.\n\nConditioners are meant to do a lot:\n\u2022Restore lost moisture\n\u2022Seal the cuticle\n\u2022Provide emollients and oils\n\u2022Soften the hair\n\u2022Make it easier to comb\n\u2022Improve manageability\n\u2022Strengthen the hair\n\nRead On>>>\n\nHow Conditioners Work\n\nThis section is a little technical but it\u2019s important. Conditioning\nagents are typically cationic quaternary compounds. A cation is a\npositively charged molecule. This is important when it comes to\nconditioners because it is attracted to the negatively charged hair\nfiber and adsorbs (not absorbs) to the surface\nof the hair. Conditioners don\u2019t penetrate into the hair but sit on the\nsurface of the hair. Once the conditioner is on our hair, it\u2019s not going\nanywhere. It\u2019s resistant to being rinsed off by just water alone. Natural, unprocessed hair\ntypically has an acidic pH and is negatively charged. The more damaged\nor chemically treated, the higher the pH and\u00a0the more negatively charged\nit is. As a result, conditioners will cling to hair that is more\ndamaged and in need of condition and repair, than healthier strands.\n\nConditioners play the most important role in maintaining the delicate balance between protein and moisture in the hair.\n\nDeconstructing Conditioners\n\nTextured hair requires adequate conditioning regularly and we need to\ninvest in a high quality (and not necessarily a high cost) conditioner.\nThe main types of conditioner agents used in products for curly hair are\ncationic surfactants and polymers. They work together to improve hair\nsoftness and manageability, enhance shine and seal the cuticle. You may\nalso find silicones (another topic for another day), emollients and oils\nthat may either penetrate into the hair shaft and add \u201cslip\u201d to the\nhair, proteins, vitamins and botanicals that improve the health of the\nhair. We\u2019ll examine these ingredients in more detail in subsequent\n\nA great conditioner should leave your hair feeling soft, detangled\nand moisturized. That feeling should remain well after the conditioner\nis washed off and while the hair is styled.\n\nHow does your hair feel after it\u2019s conditioned?\n\nCN Says:\n\nFor more reading on conditioners and ingredients, check out the below:\n\n\nFor my favorite, slippery and moisturizing conditioners, CLICK HERE<|endoftext|>Sunday, May 30, 2010\n\nLast Day of School\n\nFor Hailey and Josh's last day of school they wanted me to take pic.'s of them with their friends. Josh had a \"water fun day\" so you will see him throwing water balloons, and going down a slip n' slide. Hailey's last day was a bit more traditional. She had a pizza party after a discussion on \"Charlotte's Web\" which they have been reading this last quarter. In Hawaii, the grading curriculum is.. well.. unique. I personally don't like it, they go by a \"GLO\" system, where they are given ME's, MP's, DP's etc. (Meets to exceed expectations, meets proficiencies, difficulty on proficiencies,etc) basically, there are no \"letter grades\" in elementary school here.

I find it interesting that many women purchase an inferior quality shampoo and conditioner that does nothing good for their hair, and then wonder why their curls and coils feel dry, why their hair looks dull and why their hair is breaking.\n\nConditioners are meant to do a lot:\n\u2022Restore lost moisture\n\u2022Seal the cuticle\n\u2022Provide emollients and oils\n\u2022Soften the hair\n\u2022Make it easier to comb\n\u2022Improve manageability\n\u2022Strengthen the hair\n\nRead On>>>\n\nHow Conditioners Work\n\nThis section is a little technical but it\u2019s important. Conditioning\nagents are typically cationic quaternary compounds. A cation is a\npositively charged molecule. This is important when it comes to\nconditioners because it is attracted to the negatively charged hair\nfiber and adsorbs (not absorbs) to the surface\nof the hair. Conditioners don\u2019t penetrate into the hair but sit on the\nsurface of the hair. Once the conditioner is on our hair, it\u2019s not going\nanywhere. It\u2019s resistant to being rinsed off by just water alone. Natural, unprocessed hair\ntypically has an acidic pH and is negatively charged. The more damaged\nor chemically treated, the higher the pH and\u00a0the more negatively charged\nit is. As a result, conditioners will cling to hair that is more\ndamaged and in need of condition and repair, than healthier strands.\n\nConditioners play the most important role in maintaining the delicate balance between protein and moisture in the hair.\n\nDeconstructing Conditioners\n\nTextured hair requires adequate conditioning regularly and we need to\ninvest in a high quality (and not necessarily a high cost) conditioner.\nThe main types of conditioner agents used in products for curly hair are\ncationic surfactants and polymers. They work together to improve hair\nsoftness and manageability, enhance shine and seal the cuticle. You may\nalso find silicones (another topic for another day), emollients and oils\nthat may either penetrate into the hair shaft and add \u201cslip\u201d to the\nhair, proteins, vitamins and botanicals that improve the health of the\nhair. We\u2019ll examine these ingredients in more detail in subsequent\n\nA great conditioner should leave your hair feeling soft, detangled\nand moisturized. That feeling should remain well after the conditioner\nis washed off and while the hair is styled.\n\nHow does your hair feel after it\u2019s conditioned?\n\nCN Says:\n\nFor more reading on conditioners and ingredients, check out the below:\n\n\nFor my favorite, slippery and moisturizing conditioners, CLICK HERE<|endoftext|>Sunday, May 30, 2010\n\nLast Day of School\n\nFor Hailey and Josh's last day of school they wanted me to take pic.'s of them with their friends.

Participating providers sent letters to their female patients within the eligible age range informing them that they may be contacted to participate in a research study. Men were recruited from the community through newspaper and radio advertisements and posted fliers.\n\nEligibility criteria for both studies were for participants to have a BMI between 25 and 40, have Internet computer access, be in good general health, not be pregnant or planning to be pregnant in the next 2-years, able to read and speck English, and able to engage in moderate intensity physical activity. Potential participants were also screened for eating disorders. Participants completed survey measures on computers in a quiet setting at the research office and were compensated $15 for completing the measurement visit. All study protocols were approved by the university institutional review board, and all participants provided written informed consent.\n\n\nParticipants completed the same survey measures described in Study 1. In addition, height, weight and food intake were assessed.\n\nBody Mass Index (BMI)\n\nHeight and weight were measured by trained data collectors. Height was measured with a wall stadiometer, and weight was measured with a calibrated digital scale. BMI was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (kg/m2). Two BMI categories were created based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) criteria wherein BMI between 25 and 34.9 equals overweight to obesity class I, and BMI between 35 and 40 equals obesity class II.\n\nFood frequency questionnaire\n\nFood frequency questionnaires (FFQ) are a widely used measure of dietary intake [34]. Participants completed the self-administered Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center Food Frequency Questionnaire. The measurement characteristics of this FFQ are strong and indicate similar nutrient estimates to those of 4-day food records and short-term dietary recalls [35]. This FFQ has been tested and used among multiethnic and mixed gender populations [36], and it has been shown to be useful in deriving estimates of total fruit, vegetable, fiber, and fat intake [35,37]. Participants were asked to report about foods eaten in the past month. For each food item endorsed, they indicated the usual portion size they consume. Frequency responses ranged from 'never or less than once per month' to '2 or more times per day' for foods and up to '6 or more times per day' for beverages. Portion size responses ranged from small to large and were based on a stated medium portion size and supplemented with an additional page of portion size images. Variables for the present study were calculated from the FFQ as daily percent energy from total dietary fat, daily grams of dietary fiber/1000 Kilocalories (kcals), daily servings of fruit/1000 kilocalories (kcals), and daily servings of vegetables/1000 kcals.\n\n\nIn this study, the distinction was made between dietary components (e.g., percent calories from fat) and diet behaviors (e.g., eating high-fat foods). The psychosocial scales referenced dietary behaviors and it was hypothesized that an association with the corresponding dietary intake estimate was evidence of the scales' convergent validity (e.g., dietary fat reduction self-efficacy should be associated with percent of total calories from fat). Absence of a relationship between a psychosocial scale and other dietary indicators was evidence of discriminant validity. Strength and direction of associations were determined from correlation coefficients between the psychosocial scales and the dietary components. Correlation coefficients were considered statistically significant at the p < .01 level, to partly account for multiple statistical tests. Correlations with absolute values between .11 and .12 met this criterion. To test whether validity coefficients were moderated by ethnicity, age, education, or BMI category, a series of regression models with interaction terms were specified. Potential moderators were coded as follows: ethnicity (white vs. non-white), age (median split; < 44 vs. \u2265 44), education level (< college degree vs. \u2265 college degree), and BMI category (< 35 vs. \u2265 35).\n\n\nDemographic characteristics for the two samples were similar. Mean age was 43.87 (SD = 7.98) for men and 41.21 (SD = 8.68) for women. BMI was slightly higher for men (Mean = 34.19; SD = 4.06) than women (Mean = 32.35; SD = 4.55). Seventy-one percent of men were white, 63% had at least a college degree, and 70% were married or living with a partner. For women, 61% were white, 46% had at least a college degree, and 67% were married or living with a partner.\n\nThe male and female samples had similar means and internal consistency alphas for each of the psychosocial scales (see Table Table2).2). Scores were highest for dietary fat reduction pros, fiber and whole grains pros, fruit and vegetable pros, healthy eating environment, and healthy eating enjoyment (Means = 3.17 to 4.07), and lowest for dietary fat cons, fiber and whole grains cons, and fruit and vegetable cons (Means = 1.73 to 2.57). Cronbach's alphas were highest for the 3 self-efficacy scales (alphas = .83 to .89) and for healthy eating change strategies (alpha = .90) and healthy eating social support (alpha = .85).\n\nTable 2\nMeans and standard deviations of psychosocial scales and dietary intake estimates for Study 2.\n\nTable Table33 presents correlations among the psychosocial scales. Of the 156 correlations examined (78 for women, 78 for men), only 11 (7.1%) were above .50, and 84 (55.8%) were below .25, suggesting that each psychosocial scale was measuring a distinct construct. The self-efficacy scales were consistently moderately correlated with one another (r = .46 to .67).\n\nTable 3\nCorrelation coefficients among psychosocial scales for study 2.\n\nTable Table44 presents correlations between the psychosocial scales and dietary intake estimates. Dietary fat cons (r = .17 and .22), fiber and whole grain cons (r = -.22 and -.25), and fruit and vegetable cons (r = -.18 to -.27) were significantly related to the corresponding outcome measure for convergent validity. Dietary fat cons, fiber and whole grains cons, and fruit and vegetable cons were also related to other dietary outcomes (r = .11 to .24). However, the correlations for convergent validity were typically larger than those for discriminant validity.\n\nTable 4\nCorrelation coefficients between psychosocial scales and dietary intake estimates for study 2.\n\nThe pros of change scales consistently were not correlated with their corresponding dietary component measures (e.g. pros of dietary fat reduction and % energy from fat, r = .05), with the exception of pros of fruit and vegetable consumption and fruit servings/1000kcals (r = .15). Dietary fat self-efficacy was not related to percent energy consumed by fat (r = -.07 and -.08), but was related to fiber and whole grain grams (r = .19) and fruit servings (r = .20) in women, and vegetable servings (r = .15 and r = .24) in both men and women. Fiber and whole grains self-efficacy (r = .24 and .24) and fruit and vegetable self-efficacy (r = .25 to .30) were related to their corresponding dietary measures. The healthy eating change strategies (|r| = .14 to .31) and enjoyment (|r| = .18 to .37) scales were the strongest correlates of dietary outcomes across the board. Healthy eating social support (|r| = .10 to .26) was also related to each of the dietary outcome measures, while healthy eating environment (r = .13 to .19) was related to fiber grams, fruit servings, and vegetable servings per 1000kcal, with the exception of fruit servings in the men's sample (r = .03).\n\nA total of 208 tests (data not shown) were analyzed to investigate interactions between psychosocial scales and their corresponding dietary outcomes in terms of ethnicity, age, education, and BMI. Of these, only 14 were significant at the p < .05 level, suggesting that the relationship between the psychosocial scales and dietary outcome measures were essentially the same for different levels of demographic and person factors. Of the 14 interactions that were found, none were observed in both the men and women samples. Therefore, interactions were not investigated further.\n\nStudy 2 Discussion\n\nThe results of study 2 showed that theoretically-derived brief measures of psychosocial constructs related to dietary behaviors had adequate reliability and some evidence for validity. All measures demonstrated internal consistency, but convergent validity varied substantially across psychosocial measures and little evidence was found for discriminant validity. The strongest and most consistent measures related to dietary intake were the healthy eating change strategies and healthy eating enjoyment scales. Healthy eating social support, healthy eating environment, dietary fat cons, fiber and whole grains cons, and fruit and vegetable cons also showed good validity with dietary intake.\n\nSelf-efficacy scales for fiber and whole grains and fruit and vegetables did not discriminate as well between dietary outcome measures as expected. However, this could be attributed to an overlap among dietary intake measures of fiber, fruit, and vegetables. Self-efficacy for dietary fat was not related to fat consumption, but was related to fiber grams and fruit and vegetable servings for women. These associations may be related to a phenomenon reported previously in low-income populations where individuals misjudge their fat intake and believe they are eating a low fat diet because they have increased their fruit and vegetable servings [38]. The scales measuring dietary fat pros, fiber and whole grains pros, and fruit and vegetable pros also performed poorly as they were not related to any dietary outcome measures. The", "base_doc": " providers at seven clinic sites. Participating providers sent letters to their female patients within the eligible age range informing them that they may be contacted to participate in a research study. Men were recruited from the community through newspaper and radio advertisements and posted fliers.\n\nEligibility criteria for both studies were for participants to have a BMI between 25 and 40, have Internet computer access, be in good general health, not be pregnant or planning to be pregnant in the next 2-years, able to read and speck English, and able to engage in moderate intensity physical activity. Potential participants were also screened for eating disorders. Participants completed survey measures on computers in a quiet setting at the research office and were compensated $15 for completing the measurement visit. All study protocols were approved by the university institutional review board, and all participants provided written informed consent.\n\n\nParticipants completed the same survey measures described in Study 1. In addition, height, weight and food intake were assessed.\n\nBody Mass Index (BMI)\n\nHeight and weight were measured by trained data collectors. Height was measured with a wall stadiometer, and weight was measured with a calibrated digital scale. BMI was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (kg/m2). Two BMI categories were created based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) criteria wherein BMI between 25 and 34.9 equals overweight to obesity class I, and BMI between 35 and 40 equals obesity class II.\n\nFood frequency questionnaire\n\nFood frequency questionnaires (FFQ) are a widely used measure of dietary intake [34]. Participants completed the self-administered Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center Food Frequency Questionnaire. The measurement characteristics of this FFQ are strong and indicate similar nutrient estimates to those of 4-day food records and short-term dietary recalls [35]. This FFQ has been tested and used among multiethnic and mixed gender populations [36], and it has been shown to be useful in deriving estimates of total fruit, vegetable, fiber, and fat intake [35,37]. Participants were asked to report about foods eaten in the past month. For each food item endorsed, they indicated the usual portion size they consume. Frequency responses ranged from 'never or less than once per month' to '2 or more times per day' for foods and up to '6 or more times per day' for beverages. Portion size responses ranged from small to large and were based on a stated medium portion size and supplemented with an additional page of portion size images. Variables for the present study were calculated from the FFQ as daily percent energy from total dietary fat, daily grams of dietary fiber/1000 Kilocalories (kcals), daily servings of fruit/1000 kilocalories (kcals), and daily servings of vegetables/1000 kcals.\n\n\nIn this study, the distinction was made between dietary components (e.g., percent calories from fat) and diet behaviors (e.g., eating high-fat foods). The psychosocial scales referenced dietary behaviors and it was hypothesized that an association with the corresponding dietary intake estimate was evidence of the scales' convergent validity (e.g., dietary fat reduction self-efficacy should be associated with percent of total calories from fat). Absence of a relationship between a psychosocial scale and other dietary indicators was evidence of discriminant validity. Strength and direction of associations were determined from correlation coefficients between the psychosocial scales and the dietary components. Correlation coefficients were considered statistically significant at the p < .01 level, to partly account for multiple statistical tests. Correlations with absolute values between .11 and .12 met this criterion. To test whether validity coefficients were moderated by ethnicity, age, education, or BMI category, a series of regression models with interaction terms were specified. Potential moderators were coded as follows: ethnicity (white vs. non-white), age (median split; < 44 vs. \u2265 44), education level (< college degree vs. \u2265 college degree), and BMI category (< 35 vs. \u2265 35).\n\n\nDemographic characteristics for the two samples were similar. Mean age was 43.87 (SD = 7.98) for men and 41.21 (SD = 8.68) for women. BMI was slightly higher for men (Mean = 34.19; SD = 4.06) than women (Mean = 32.35; SD = 4.55). Seventy-one percent of men were white, 63% had at least a college degree, and 70% were married or living with a partner. For women, 61% were white, 46% had at least a college degree, and 67% were married or living with a partner.\n\nThe male and female samples had similar means and internal consistency alphas for each of the psychosocial scales (see Table Table2).2). Scores were highest for dietary fat reduction pros, fiber and whole grains pros, fruit and vegetable pros, healthy eating environment, and healthy eating enjoyment (Means = 3.17 to 4.07), and lowest for dietary fat cons, fiber and whole grains cons, and fruit and vegetable cons (Means = 1.73 to 2.57). Cronbach's alphas were highest for the 3 self-efficacy scales (alphas = .83 to .89) and for healthy eating change strategies (alpha = .90) and healthy eating social support (alpha = .85).\n\nTable 2\nMeans and standard deviations of psychosocial scales and dietary intake estimates for Study 2.\n\nTable Table33 presents correlations among the psychosocial scales. Of the 156 correlations examined (78 for women, 78 for men), only 11 (7.1%) were above .50, and 84 (55.8%) were below .25, suggesting that each psychosocial scale was measuring a distinct construct. The self-efficacy scales were consistently moderately correlated with one another (r = .46 to .67).\n\nTable 3\nCorrelation coefficients among psychosocial scales for study 2.\n\nTable Table44 presents correlations between the psychosocial scales and dietary intake estimates. Dietary fat cons (r = .17 and .22), fiber and whole grain cons (r = -.22 and -.25), and fruit and vegetable cons (r = -.18 to -.27) were significantly related to the corresponding outcome measure for convergent validity. Dietary fat cons, fiber and whole grains cons, and fruit and vegetable cons were also related to other dietary outcomes (r = .11 to .24).

On Saturday morning I travelled up to Northumbria for a wedding of two beautiful friends.\n\nI wouldn't have missed it for the world but selfishly I think it was really good for me too. After a week of living in the publicity bubble as we built up to Friday night's first episode of Genius it was the perfect way of reminding me that there are always more important things out there.\n\nBecause I had commitments in London on Friday the only way of making the journey was to fly up to Newcastle and then hire a car. If you're a regular reader you might know that I gave up car ownership a few years ago. The last time I drove in the UK was when I got to drive one of those tiny electric cars for an item on the Grand Designs Live thing I did last May.\n\nThe flight was, um, unpleasant. Really the only thing that made the weekend less than perfect. Newcastle United were hosting Arsenal that day so inevitably the plane was full and had a blokes-away-day tone to it. At one point, when a conspicuously pretty young girl returned to her seat from a trip to the loo she was given a round of applause by fifty blokes. Charming. I'm sure the knowledge that every woman who made the walk to and from the back of the plane was being judged on their appearance made everyone feel really relaxed about the rest of the flight. Especially as some of the blokes sitting near me then had a loud conversation about the relative merits of the stewardesses who - they decided - weren't as pretty as they'd hoped.\n\nI really hate being in crowds of men when this sort of thing happens. I know they think they're just having a laugh and to many I probably just sound like a killjoy but not one of them would behave like that if they weren't bolstered by the power of the mob (and booze). We landed at 9.30am and they were loudly boasting about being four pints in already.\n\nThere's obviously no way of doing anything about it so the best you can do is meet people's eyes and try to tacitly express that you're not a part of it.

I felt the blood drain away. The e-mail that confirmed the booking for the hire car had explicitly stated that I needed to bring both parts of my licence. I'd made a note of it. I'd even checked that the paper part was kept in the drawer I thought it was at the time. But at midnight, when I was packing my bag I'd forgotten that detail and had neglected to fetch and pack it. Oops. (Or as they say in Denmark: ups.)\n\nI spent ten minutes in the queue certain I was about to be told that while I'd already paid for the car I couldn't actually take it.

When it was my turn I told him straight away that I didn't have the paper licence and he just shrugged and said, \"No problem, I'll just have to call the DVLA and check your endorsements.\" Such a relief.\n\nThen he tried to persuade me to pay for an upgrade. I'd arranged to hire a small hatchback. I was being offered a Mercedes sports car. I turned it down to begin with. I'd arranged to pay extra for a sat-nav.

The effect of its output will correspondingly change from a transient \u201crestorative\u201d effect to a self-sustaining, self-reinforcing effect.\n\n \u2022 Dec 17 / 2014\n \u2022 0\nCortical Learning Algorithm\n\nMultilayer Model for Hierarchical Temporal Memory\n\nThis post sketches a simple model for multilayer processing in Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM). It is based on a combination of Jeff Hawkins\u2019 and Numenta\u2019s current work on sensorimotor extensions to HTM, my previous ideas on\u00a0efficiency of predicted sparseness\u00a0as well as evidence from neuroscience.\n\nHTM has entered a new phase of development in the past year. Hawkins and his colleagues are currently extending HTM from a single-layer sensory model (assumed to represent high-order memory in Layer 2/3 of cortex) to a sensorimotor model which involves Transition Memory of combined sensory and motor inputs in L4, which is Temporally Pooled in L2/3. Once this is successfully modelled, the plan is to examine the role of L5 and L6 in motor behaviour and feedback.\n\nRecent research in neuroscience has significantly improved our understanding of the various pathways in cortical circuits. [Douglas & Martin, 2004] proposed a so-called canonical pathway in which thalamic inputs arrive in L4, which projects to L2/3 (which sends its output to higher regions), then to L5 (which outputs motor signals) and from there to L6 (which outputs feedback to lower layers and thalamus). Teams led by Randy Bruno [deKock et al, 2007], [Constantinople & Bruno, 2013] have found that there is also a parallel circuit thalamus-L5-[L6 and L4] as well as an L3-L4 feedback pathway.\n\nFigure 1, which is from\u00a0[deKock et al, 2007], shows the calculated temporal pattern of activity in a piece of rat barrel cortex (called D2) consisting of about 9000 neurons. Barrel cortex is so named because the neurons responsive to a single Primary Whisker (PW) form a barrel-like columnar structure in this part of rat cortex. The paper estimates the layer populations in this \u201ccolumn\u201d\u00a0to be\u00a03200 L2/3, 2050 L4, 1100 L5A, 1050 L5B and 1200 L6 excitatory cells.\n\nFigure 1. Evolution of Action Potential (AP) rates in rat barrel cortex when experimenters stimulate the associated whisker. VPM is the thalamic region which projects to this part of cortex. From [deKock et al, 2007].\n\nWe\u2019ll examine this data from the point of view of HTM. Firstly, we see that the spontaneous activity in all layers is very sparse (0.3% in L2/3, 0.6% in L4, 1.1% in L5A, 3% in L5B and 0.5% in L6), and that activity rises and falls dramatically and differently in each layer over the 150ms following stimulation.\n\nLooking at the first 10ms and only in L4-L2/3, we see the expected sparse activations in L4 and L3, which is followed by a dramatic increase (x17 in L4, x10 in L2/3) representing bursting in both layers, likely because the input was unpredicted. Over the next 20ms, activity in L2/3 drops sharply back to 2x the baseline, but that in L4, after 10ms of dropping, rises again to practically match the original activation. This is matched in the next 10ms by a rise in L2/3 activation, after which both levels drop gradually towards the baseline over more than 100ms. We see another, somewhat different \u201cwavelike\u201d response pattern in the L5/6 complex.\n\nSo, can we build a model using HTM principles which explains this data (and, even better, predicts other unseen data)? I believe there must be such a model, because we see this kind of processing everywhere we look in cortex.\n\nBefore we get to that, let\u2019s identify some important principles which arise from our current understanding of cortical function.\n\nI: A Race to Represent\n\nThe first principle is that a population of neurons which share a common set of inputs is driven to \u201cbest represent\u201d its inputs using a competitive inhibition process. Each neuron is accumulating depolarising input current from a unique set of contextual and immediate sources, and the first to fire will inhibit its neighbours and form part of the representation.\n\nEach neuron can thus be seen as analogous to a \u201cmicrotheory\u201d of its world, and it will accumulate evidence from past context, current sensory inputs, and behaviour to compete in a race for its theory to be \u201cmost true\u201d.\n\nII: Different Sources of Evidence\n\nThe purpose of the layered structure of neocortex is to allow each population to combine its own individual evidence sources and learn to represent the \u201ctheory\u201d of that evidence. The various populations (or sublayers) form a cyclic graph structure of evidence flow, and they cooperate to form a stable, predictable, sensorimotor model of the current world.\n\nIII: Efficiency of Predictive Sparseness\n\nEach neuron combines contextual or predictive inputs (on distal synapses) with evidence from immediate sources (on proximal synapses). In addition, the columnar inhibitory sheath is also racing to recognise its inputs, which come largely from the same feedforward sources as its contained pyramidal cells. The sheath has an advantage as it is a better responder [cite] to the feedforward evidence alone than any of its contained cells, so there is also a race between predictive assisted recognition and simple spatial recognition of reality.\n\nThe result of the race depends on which wins \u2013 if a single pyramidal cell wins due to high predictive depolarisation (lots of contextual evidence), then it alone will fire. Otherwise, there is a short window of time which allows some number of the most predictive cells in the column to fire in turn, before they are inhibited by a vertical process. This \u201cbursting\u201d encodes the difference between the reality (as signalled by this column\u2019s inhibitory sheath firing) and the population\u2019s prediction (as would have been signalled by a highly predictive cell in some losing nearby column).\n\nIV: Self-stabilisation through Sparse Patterns\n\nIf we consider a cortical region in its \u201csteady state\u201d, we see highly sparse (non-bursting) representations everywhere, and the behavioural output (from Layer 5) will be a sequence of highly sparse patterns which result in very fine motor adjustments (or none at all). This corresponds to the region perfectly modelling the sensorimotor world it experiences and making optimal predictions with minimal corrective behaviour.\n\nA deviation from this state (failure of prediction) leads to a partial change in representation (because reality differs from prediction) and some amount of redundant predictive representation (when several cells burst in new columns). This departure from maximal sparseness is transmitted to the downstream sublayers, causing their \u201cview of the world\u201d and thus their own state to change. Depending on how well each sublayer can predict these changes, the cascade may halt, or instead continue to roll around the cyclical graph of sublayers, causing behavioural side-effects as it goes.\n\nV: A Team of Rivals \u2013 \u201cExplaining Change\u201d by Witnessing or Acting\n\nWithin each sublayer, some cells will have inputs which correspond to \u201cobserving\u201d the world as it evolves on its own (by predicting from context), while others will respond better when the organism is taking certain actions, and will have learned to associate certain changes with those behaviours. The representation in each sublayer will be some mixture of these, and, in the case of motor output cells in L5, the \u201cdecisions\u201d of the region will be those which restore the predictability of things.\n\nThe reason is simple. While the activity in the region is sparse, all the active cells are predicting their activity, and the outputs of the region reflect the happy condition. These include motor output, which by definition is acting to prolong the current status of the region (if it was acting to depart from the status, these motor cells would not be still firing).\n\nWhen something changes, and a set of new neurons becomes active, new neurons become temporarily active throughout the various sublayers, but they will all be cells which have learned to respond better to the new state of the world than the previously active cells. These cells will have learned to associate their own activity with the new situation, by being more right about predicting their own activity in this new context. And this, in turn, will be true only if they are the long-term winners in the establishment of a new, stable cycle of sparse activity, or alternatively if they have regularly participated in the transition to a new stable state. Either way, the system is self-stabilising, acting to right itself and", "base_doc": " stability and sparsity in a sublayer. Cells, given the opportunity, will graduate up the ladder from inactive to bursting to predictive when presented with the right inputs. Cells which fail to improve will be overtaken by their neighbours in the same column, and demoted back down towards inactive. A cell which has recently started to burst (having been inactive on the same inputs) will be reinforced in that status if its firing gives rise to a transient change in the world which causes its inputs to recur. With enough repetition, a cell will graduate to predictive on its favoured inputs, and will participate in a sparse, stable predictive pattern of activity in the sublayer and its region. The effect of its output will correspondingly change from a transient \u201crestorative\u201d effect to a self-sustaining, self-reinforcing effect.\n\n \u2022 Dec 17 / 2014\n \u2022 0\nCortical Learning Algorithm\n\nMultilayer Model for Hierarchical Temporal Memory\n\nThis post sketches a simple model for multilayer processing in Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM).

According to Kracauer, What films reflect are not so much explicit credos as psychological dispositions - those deep layers of collective mentality which extend more or less below the dimension of consciousness. Of course, popular magazines and broadcasts,, bestsellers, ads, fashions in language and other sedimentary products of a people's cultural life also yield valuable information about predominant attitudes, widespread inner tendencies. But the medium of thggScreen exceeds these sources in inclusiveness.\u2022 An approach to feature film antithetical to the idea of film as a reflection of collective consciousness is that which views film as an escape valve through which society seeks relief from its overwhelming pressures and preoccupations. Many argue against this view, believing that even in seeking relief from everyday pressures society will unconsciously reveal its innermost secrets.. Andrew Sarris cites social cri tics of the left who argue against just such a theory. They state that even the most escapist films are revealing in what they covertly say about society. Hence the old King Kong was presumed to be the unconscious product of Freud's Civilization and Its Discontents, whereas the new King Kong has been reportedly programmed to illustrate Fanon's Wretched of the Earth. The Graduate was considered 'significant' precisely because it evaded the ills of Vietnam, and poor Caligari was blamed by Kracauer for helping bring on Hitler through sheer morbidity. This opinion is backed up by Hugh Gray (in the introduction to 38 Andre Bazin's What is Cinema? vol. 1, 1967), who sees in the cinema the opportunity to anticipate the ultimate confronta-50 tion between man and automation. This opportunity will occur only as long as film functions in the capacity as a reflector and not merely as a purveyor of escapist pleasure. Too many for too long, notably in the United States, have preferred to think of it simply as an avenue of escape par excellence from a high-pressure life, for which we are ever seeking - a new world, as it were, to live in. But such so-called paths of es cape, pleasant as they are to wander in, are in reality each but a cul-de-sac. The more we see the screen as a mirror rather than an escape hatch, the more we will be prepared for what is to come.5' Returning to the issue of considering film as just such a reflector, the question to be asked is exactly what is the screen reflecting? It would seem to be reflecting the atti tudes and values of some social group, but there is no easy or simple answer to the question of whose attitudes are ex pressed in films, or to what extent such attitudes corres pond to those of society in general. In the narrowest sense, it could be assumed that the attitudes expressed are those of the social aggregation involved in the production of films, and in the context of the American mass film, those attitudes in most cases would have their origins in the Holly wood film factory. . The question to be asked in this context is to what extent do the attitudes and values of Hollywood correspond to those of society in general? Sociologist Leo Rosten has studied the Hollywood film industry of the 1930s and 1940s, and found Hollywood to be \"an index of our society 39 and our culture,\" casting the values of American society into stark relief.1 Whether or not this tenet is accepted, it would appear logical to assume that the creators of a film should assume some responsibility for the content of a film, whether or not the content is a reflection of an individual or society in general. As a reflector of society and a purveyor of attitudes, feature film can be approached in two ways, according to Eugene C. McCreary. It can be considered as the work of one man, usually the director, whose total work can be examined to reveal recurrent themes, formal styles, and \"elements of film language revelatory of one man's relationship to the. , 5 3 society and eppoh in which he lives or lived.\" In this approach, the researcher must come to terms with the role of the director and his potential function as a distiller of-public awareness: The director's is rarely, if ever, a seminal mind. His importance lies elsewhere - in popularization, in vulgarization of contemporary intellectual currents, or in bringing to essentially mass audiences a heightened awareness of a contemporary situation and its implications . 54-Thus the director is considered as an individual shaped by society, and reflective of the undercurrents operative in that society, rather than as a creative and original mind operating outside the boundaries of society. McCreary's other approach involves an examination of the total film production of a society at a given moment, to reveal a common body of attitudes, values, and concerns; film as a societal mirror, as it were./ Feature films can also act reflectively in a more subtle manner, in their function as \"indicators of covert culture 56 values.\" As a product of popular culture, film can be studied for what it betrays both overtly and covertly, some times revealing underlying contradictions or tensions through covert values in direct opposition to openly acknowledged values. An example of this can be seen in the depiction of blacks in early American films, particularly in D.W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation (1915), in which malicious portrayals of racial stereotypes had to be excised from the original film, while at the same time there was no desire to present \"asser-57 tive, competent, virile black heroes.\" The result of this conflict between overt and covert cultural values was the evolution of the neutral, harmless image of the black, epi tomized, by the \"Aunt Jemima\" stereotype. As a medium of reflection, a mirror of socio-cultural attitudes and iconography, film as a visual record needs to be subjected to specific analyses in order to maximize the value of the information contained therein. The major con temporary approaches to the analysis of film can be roughly classified into two categories, according to whether the analysis is centered on content or structure. The structural analysis approach examines larger units of cinematic meaning, while the sign analysis approach (centered on content) exa mines single units of meaning within both the visual and 41 audio components of film (what Karsten Fledelius refers to c o respectively as the \"macro-plane\" and the \"micro-plane\"). A complete film analysis would have to combine both approaches. According to William Hughes, we rarely explore the con-59 tent of visual images beyond the level.of mere recognition, and ignore the capacity of film to present a plethora of imagery which can be subjected to the above outlined forms of analyses. Film considered as a recorder of such images is an important source of study for semiologists, who analyse film in terms of the symbols it contains. Peter Wollen (in his influential Signs and Meaning in. the Cinema, 1 969), has borrowed a tricho tomy of cinematic \"signs\" from philosopher C.S. Peirce: -The Icon: a sign in which the signifier represents the signified mainly by its similarity to It, its likeness; -The Index: which measures a quality not because it is identical to it but'because it has an inherent relationship to it; -The Symbol: an arbitrary sign in which the signifier has neither a direct or an indexical relationship to the signified, but rather represents it through convention.60 This type of film analysis has been termed a \"structuralist 61 reformulation of the theory of authorship,\" in which \"film is no longer posed as a communication but as an artefact which is unconsciously structured in a certain way; the author is no longer seen as the creative source but as an effect of 62 the film text.\" According to this view, film is not so much a product to be consumed by culture, but is a product 4.2 of meaning in which the \"reading\" of the film is emphasized. The structural approach seeks to provide a larger frame work", "base_doc": " films, or in the regula-36 tory institutions controlling film production and content, hailed mostly from the middle' class, as did the critics who / 2 reviewed the films.

As a reflector of society and a purveyor of attitudes, feature film can be approached in two ways, according to Eugene C. McCreary. It can be considered as the work of one man, usually the director, whose total work can be examined to reveal recurrent themes, formal styles, and \"elements of film language revelatory of one man's relationship to the. , 5 3 society and eppoh in which he lives or lived.\" In this approach, the researcher must come to terms with the role of the director and his potential function as a distiller of-public awareness: The director's is rarely, if ever, a seminal mind. His importance lies elsewhere - in popularization, in vulgarization of contemporary intellectual currents, or in bringing to essentially mass audiences a heightened awareness of a contemporary situation and its implications . 54-Thus the director is considered as an individual shaped by society, and reflective of the undercurrents operative in that society, rather than as a creative and original mind operating outside the boundaries of society. McCreary's other approach involves an examination of the total film production of a society at a given moment, to reveal a common body of attitudes, values, and concerns; film as a societal mirror, as it were./ Feature films can also act reflectively in a more subtle manner, in their function as \"indicators of covert culture 56 values.\" As a product of popular culture, film can be studied for what it betrays both overtly and covertly, some times revealing underlying contradictions or tensions through covert values in direct opposition to openly acknowledged values. An example of this can be seen in the depiction of blacks in early American films, particularly in D.W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation (1915), in which malicious portrayals of racial stereotypes had to be excised from the original film, while at the same time there was no desire to present \"asser-57 tive, competent, virile black heroes.\" The result of this conflict between overt and covert cultural values was the evolution of the neutral, harmless image of the black, epi tomized, by the \"Aunt Jemima\" stereotype. As a medium of reflection, a mirror of socio-cultural attitudes and iconography, film as a visual record needs to be subjected to specific analyses in order to maximize the value of the information contained therein. The major con temporary approaches to the analysis of film can be roughly classified into two categories, according to whether the analysis is centered on content or structure. The structural analysis approach examines larger units of cinematic meaning, while the sign analysis approach (centered on content) exa mines single units of meaning within both the visual and 41 audio components of film (what Karsten Fledelius refers to c o respectively as the \"macro-plane\" and the \"micro-plane\"). A complete film analysis would have to combine both approaches. According to William Hughes, we rarely explore the con-59 tent of visual images beyond the level.of mere recognition, and ignore the capacity of film to present a plethora of imagery which can be subjected to the above outlined forms of analyses. Film considered as a recorder of such images is an important source of study for semiologists, who analyse film in terms of the symbols it contains. Peter Wollen (in his influential Signs and Meaning in. the Cinema, 1 969), has borrowed a tricho tomy of cinematic \"signs\" from philosopher C.S. Peirce: -The Icon: a sign in which the signifier represents the signified mainly by its similarity to It, its likeness; -The Index: which measures a quality not because it is identical to it but'because it has an inherent relationship to it; -The Symbol: an arbitrary sign in which the signifier has neither a direct or an indexical relationship to the signified, but rather represents it through convention.60 This type of film analysis has been termed a \"structuralist 61 reformulation of the theory of authorship,\" in which \"film is no longer posed as a communication but as an artefact which is unconsciously structured in a certain way; the author is no longer seen as the creative source but as an effect of 62 the film text.\" According to this view, film is not so much a product to be consumed by culture, but is a product 4.2 of meaning in which the \"reading\" of the film is emphasized. The structural approach seeks to provide a larger frame work within which to perform an analysis of the micro-plane. The analyst looks for patterns or structures which impinge sig nificantly on film content, patterns which may or may", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 425490, "pt_loc": 14308815, "pt_shuffle_idx": 44765061, "doc_index_f": 70168609, "doc_index_l": 70168609, "offset_f": 13068, "offset_l": 15116, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 34, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": " just one team's tickets and merchandise sales, the true driver of league stability is one thing: big-money TV contracts.

Black Emperor - F-sharp, A-sharp, infinity (Cover Artwork)\n\nGodspeed You! Black Emperor\n\nF-sharp, A-sharp, infinity (1997)\n\n\n\"The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel, and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides, and a dark wind blows. The government is corrupt, and we're on so many drugs, with the radio on and the curtains drawn\u00e2\u0080\u00a6\"\n\nDanny Boyle introduced me to Godspeed You! Black Emperor. His use of their music in 28 Days Later was some of best directing I've ever seen. He of course admitted planning the movie around the band's music, which I find very interesting. It's fitting that he chose this band to represent a post-apocalyptic world overrun by a society that's lost itself. That's what the music contained here reflects through the sheer use of atmosphere and ambient soundscapes. It's a journey indeed.\n\nF\u266f A\u266f \u221e (\"F-sharp, A-sharp, infinity\") was the debut album that brought this post-rock group of anarchists acclaim outside their local Montreal scene. This band, along with groups like Explosions in the Sky, Talk Talk and Slint, share the idea of what post-rock is supposed to be. GY!BE seems to hide in the shadows. This isn't music to digest in quick settings. It's meant to create landscapes in the mind. There's an epic, almost claustrophobic emptiness to this music. Like walking down a potholed highway with nothing in sight, exploring the ruins of an abandoned city, or in the case of the faith-based, the rapture. So many ideas conjure up like dreams or movies. It's almost too hard to explain because it's such an open idea.\n\nThe first track, usually called \"The Dead Flag Blues,\" has four movements. Such as with classical music, these songs are rather large and contain a wealth of arrangements that build up to epic climaxes, then back down to very soft moments. The sense of terrifying dread once that opening monologue starts brings to life the idea of death, despair, paranoia and disaster. The string melody, accompanied by glockenspiel, violin and slide guitar, is eerily comforting in the midst of that opening salvo. Once the intro closes, the use of field recordings takes over and a distant train is heard. This is where GY!BE really shows off its talents to create atmosphere. It's a good use of worldly sounds and sights to give the songs life beyond a simple recording.\n\nSecond track, \"East Hastings,\" is the centerpiece of the album and most well-known from the band. A street preacher gives his best while bagpipes reprise the dead flag blues. It then segues into the song's second movement, titled \"The Sad Mafioso...,\" which was used in Boyle's film. This section provides the best use of full band instrumentation. Guitars gently pluck, only to give way to full-on ferocious force while the strings calmly keep pace, bass rumbles like boulders and drums lay down a death rattle. The band also interjects a small vocalization harmony, not likely to ever be done again. It's a brilliant piece of instrumentation, ending with electronic noises and buzzing until the bass throbs it out.\n\nThe last track, \"Providence,\" has six, count em' six, movements and it clocks in around 29 minutes. There is no brevity here. It's a test in companionship for the long haul. Are you committed to this relationship? Can you suffer through all the ups and downs until the eventual end of your short lives? Ah, and because of the locked groove of the final track, the vinyl edition technically has an infinite running time, so it's an eternal ending I suppose. Good job guys\u00e2\u0080\u00a6\n\nSay what you will about this form of music, but damn it's beautiful. And I hate using that word beautiful because you need to back it up. I think it speaks for itself here. GY!BE is one of those bands essential to any serious music lover. You've heard the name mentioned here and there, so now is the time to get with it. Get this album, have a good set and setting and listen. Listen with open ears and an open mind.\n\nNote: this review is based off the Kranky CD release of the album, which is significantly longer than the LP version released on Constellation Records.<|endoftext|>What\u2019s Really Causing Your Maskne? (It Might Not Be Your Mask)\n\na medical mask on a counter\n\nA few months into the pandemic, I heard another freshly-minted word for the first time: maskne. With it, came the claim that the hot, stifled breath trapped inside our protective masks was turning the lower halves of our faces into a bacterial breeding swamp fit for Shrek himself, and causing breakouts of teenage-level acne en masse.\n\nWhile the concept wasn\u2019t new \u2014 the technical term is \u201cacne mechanica\u201d and athletes who wear helmets and chin guards have been experiencing it way before COVID-19 ever passed our clammy lips \u2014 the added element of stress is a compounding factor. In short, the pandemic is stressing us TF out. In fact, twice as many Canadians reported they\u2019d been feeling \u201cconsistent or constant stress\u201d during the COVID-19 pandemic as before it, according to a survey from Nanos Research.\n\nHave winter eczema? Here is your fix.\n\nAcne and stress are no stranger to me. About five years ago, angry, cystic breakouts plagued my jawline and neck (the same places maskne shows up) and I did everything to rid myself of it: changed my pillowcases often, edited my skincare routine, tried antibiotics, and cut out dairy. None of it worked, and what eventually did, was heavy-duty medication, and its accompanying slew of side effects. The one thing I didn\u2019t consider on my pre-meds journey was my stress levels, and looking back I believe it was what triggered the acne. But I still wonder: Exactly how does a stressful year translate into a breakout? And, could I actually have been capable of making a dent in my stress levels \u2014 or would managing them just be another thing to stress out about?\n\nSo, if your skin is getting angrier by the day, don\u2019t let your mask take all the blame \u2014 it\u2019s worth examining whether stress is the culprit or a contributing factor. We talked to a nutritionist specializing in hormones, digestion and mental health to get some answers.\n\nHow exactly do you go from feeling stressed to seeing that manifest as acne?\n\nUnsurprisingly, the answer is complicated and begins with understanding your body\u2019s stress response. \u201cLet\u2019s say you\u2019re in an accident, all that your body needs to do is to protect itself \u2014 you need to think quickly, heal quickly, and that\u2019s what your body is working on,\u201d explains Rhiannon Lytle, a registered holistic nutritionist at the Vancouver-based Integrative Naturopathic Clinic and co-host of Organika\u2019s wellness podcast, The Enhanced Life. \u201cSo, your digestion gets shut down and your reproduction gets shut down, too.\u201d\n\nWhile that may be an ideal response in a time of crisis, it gets complicated in our modern predicament. \u201cNow that we\u2019re in this chronically stressed state, our digestive systems and hormones are dysregulated,\u201d says Lytle. \u201cSo, this hormone cascade happens that can then impact our skin.\u201d She explains that the hormones that are normally regulated can go off-kilter because of that spiked cortisol (the stress hormone", "base_doc": "\n\nWhere the real money is\n\nBeyond just one team's tickets and merchandise sales, the true driver of league stability is one thing: big-money TV contracts.

Typically, these pests feed on human blood while they are at rest, which is where they earned their title: \u201cBed Bug.\u201d Bites from these insects vary in side effects but can result in small red blisters, skin rashes, allergic reactions, fatigue, fever, and even lasting psychological effects. The most common symptom is a series of approximately three bites in a straight line that itch. Bed bugs target areas of the body that are easy to access, such as an uncovered arm or leg. While research shows that bed bug bites do not transmit infectious diseases, they can, on rare occasions, cause complications including areas of dead skin or vasculitis.\u00a0\n\nThese nursery-rhyme pests don\u2019t play games. Bed bugs are known for being masters of hiding, allowing them to quickly reproduce and become an infestation. While tidiness can help in locating them, they ultimately do not discriminate between clean and dirty homes. The first sign of an infestation is usually the row of itchy bites as well as ink-like droppings they leave behind while feeding, which are often visible on bedsheets or in the seams of the bedding and mattress. Once any of these are detected, it is imperative to get professional help, as these pests are nearly impossible to eradicate using DIY methods.\n\nFind Service.<|endoftext|>19-Jun-2003 (Thu)\nWherein vandalism is whined about.\n\nPhotos are up of Thump and of last month's Flavor (including a bunch of the breakdancers.)\n\nOh, here's something that's been bugging me for a while that I keep forgetting to bitch about here. Quite some time ago, some buttmuncher scratched their name into the mirror in one of the upstairs bathrooms. They scratched it deeply enough that it can't be buffed out. These are single person bathrooms, leaving people lots of time for \"creative\" redecorating like this. For example, as I've mentioned before, people keep stealing the soap dispenser pumps from the sinks. Not the whole dispenser, mind you, just the top part. Why? Why?\n\nAnyway, the only way to fix this is to replace the mirror, which would cost about $100. And we have such better things to spend that much money on than graffiti removal. So every time I go in there and see this jackass's sputum on the mirror, I think, \"you assholes can't have nice things: we're just going to leave this bathroom locked all the time, so that it won't get destroyed. You've spoiled it for everybody, and I hope you're happy!\"\n\nBut then I realize that if I did that, I would have paid for the construction of a pristine bathroom that never got used.\n\nWhich would be pretty damned silly.\n\nI'm tempted to just rip the mirror off the wall, since I think I'd rather see the glue-pocked tile underneath than give this overgrown adolescent the satisfaction of knowing that people are still seeing his/her contribution to \"street art\" or whatever the fuck they call it when vandals carve their names into other peoples' property.\n\n9 Responses:\n\n 1. mrmustard says:\n\n You know, I've looked at so many DNA Lounge photos now that I feel like I've been there.

Typically, these pests feed on human blood while they are at rest, which is where they earned their title: \u201cBed Bug.\u201d Bites from these insects vary in side effects but can result in small red blisters, skin rashes, allergic reactions, fatigue, fever, and even lasting psychological effects. The most common symptom is a series of approximately three bites in a straight line that itch. Bed bugs target areas of the body that are easy to access, such as an uncovered arm or leg. While research shows that bed bug bites do not transmit infectious diseases, they can, on rare occasions, cause complications including areas of dead skin or vasculitis.\u00a0\n\nThese nursery-rhyme pests don\u2019t play games. Bed bugs are known for being masters of hiding, allowing them to quickly reproduce and become an infestation. While tidiness can help in locating them, they ultimately do not discriminate between clean and dirty homes. The first sign of an infestation is usually the row of itchy bites as well as ink-like droppings they leave behind while feeding, which are often visible on bedsheets or in the seams of the bedding and mattress. Once any of these are detected, it is imperative to get professional help, as these pests are nearly impossible to eradicate using DIY methods.\n\nFind Service.<|endoftext|>19-Jun-2003 (Thu)\nWherein vandalism is whined about.\n\nPhotos are up of Thump and of last month's Flavor (including a bunch of the breakdancers.)\n\nOh, here's something that's been bugging me for a while that I keep forgetting to bitch about here. Quite some time ago, some buttmuncher scratched their name into the mirror in one of the upstairs bathrooms. They scratched it deeply enough that it can't be buffed out. These are single person bathrooms, leaving people lots of time for \"creative\" redecorating like this. For example, as I've mentioned before, people keep stealing the soap dispenser pumps from the sinks. Not the whole dispenser, mind you, just the top part. Why? Why?\n\nAnyway, the only way to fix this is to replace the mirror, which would cost about $100. And we have such better things to spend that much money on than graffiti removal. So every time I go in there and see this jackass's sputum on the mirror, I think, \"you assholes can't have nice things: we're just going to leave this bathroom locked all the time, so that it won't get destroyed. You've spoiled it for everybody, and I hope you're happy!\"\n\nBut then I realize that if I did that, I would have paid for the construction of a pristine bathroom that never got used.\n\nWhich would be pretty damned silly.\n\nI'm tempted to just rip the mirror off the wall, since I think I'd rather see the glue-pocked tile underneath than give this overgrown adolescent the satisfaction of knowing that people are still seeing his/her contribution to \"street art\" or whatever the fuck they call it when vandals carve their names into other peoples' property.\n\n9 Responses:\n\n 1. mrmustard says:\n\n You know, I've looked at so many DNA Lounge photos now that I feel like I've been there. I was thinking I should send you the admission price, but maybe I'll just buy some merchandise instead.\n\n 2. ciphergoth says:\n\n I think you could justify taking the mirror down, even if you don't replace it, just in case having it there encourages other vandals...\n\n 3. hochi666 says:\n\n It seems a lot of people absent mindedly forget that there ARE public places owned by private individuals. Rarely do people who act in much a manner think that they're destroying property owned by someone. They seem to think that if it's in public place they can abuse the property any way they see fit. Some just don't think and some don't care.\n\n \u2022 hepkitten says:\n\n or they forget that property can be owned by normal people trying to make it, not just large corporations, so they think they are getting back at The Man, instead of just fucking with some random guy.\n\n Jamie: Can't you just put a sticker or something over it?\n\n 4. defenestr8r says:\n\n Cafe Flore (a.k.a.

This can be proven. Grand Lux Caf\u00e9 was spawned when heavyweights from The Venetian Resort, Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas asked David Overton, founder of The Cheesecake Factory, to create an upscale casual restaurant, the dining equivalent of not tucking your $1,000 designer silk shirt into your pre-ripped jeans. Grand Lux roots are deeply bored into the dry sands of Las Vegas Boulevard and sprout \"opulent Venetian\" themes pilfered from trips to Europe where Italian trattorias, French bistros and the grand cafes and pastry shops of Vienna were scrutinized. The grandeur and luxury of European cafes were fused with the \"sensibilities and spirit of an all-American restaurant,\" which means Grand Lux Caf\u00e9 has a menu as voluminous as the federal tax code, except in place of exemptions and deductions, the Grand Lux inserts chicken.\n\nTom Jenkins\n\nLocation Info\n\n\nGrand Lux Cafe\n\n13420 N.

This can be proven. Grand Lux Caf\u00e9 was spawned when heavyweights from The Venetian Resort, Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas asked David Overton, founder of The Cheesecake Factory, to create an upscale casual restaurant, the dining equivalent of not tucking your $1,000 designer silk shirt into your pre-ripped jeans. Grand Lux roots are deeply bored into the dry sands of Las Vegas Boulevard and sprout \"opulent Venetian\" themes pilfered from trips to Europe where Italian trattorias, French bistros and the grand cafes and pastry shops of Vienna were scrutinized. The grandeur and luxury of European cafes were fused with the \"sensibilities and spirit of an all-American restaurant,\" which means Grand Lux Caf\u00e9 has a menu as voluminous as the federal tax code, except in place of exemptions and deductions, the Grand Lux inserts chicken.\n\nTom Jenkins\n\nLocation Info\n\n\nGrand Lux Cafe\n\n13420 N.

A contrary interpretation is implausible and fails to account for, and effectively eviscerates, numerous components of the Act.\n\nThe basic bargain underlying the Act works like this. On the federal side, Congress offers to allocate substantial funds to the States on an annual basis\u2014nearly $14 billion in 2008 for Title I, Part A, a 60% increase in relevant federal funding since 2001\u2014exercising relatively little oversight over how the funds are spent. On the State side, the States agree to test all of their students on a variety of subjects and to hold themselves and their schools responsible for making adequate yearly progress in the test scores of all students. In broad brush strokes, the Act thus allocates substantial federal funds to the States and school districts and gives them substantial flexibility in deciding how and where to spend the money on various educational \u201cinputs,\u201d but in return the schools must achieve progress in meeting certain educational \u201coutputs\u201d as measured by the Act\u2019s testing benchmarks. As the Supreme Court recently explained:\n\nNCLB marked a dramatic shift in federal educational policy. It reflects Congress\u2019 judgment that the best way to raise the level of education nationwide is by granting state and local officials flexibility to develop and implement educational programs that address local needs, while holding them accountable for the results. NCLB implements this approach by requiring States receiving federal funds to define performance standards and to make regular assessments of progress toward the attainment of those standards. 20 U.S.C. \u00a7 6311(b)(2). NCLB conditions the continued receipt of funds on demonstrations of\u00a0 \u201cadequate yearly progress.\u201d Ibid.\n\nHorne v. Flores, __ U. S. __, 129 S. Ct. 2579, 2601 (2009). The school districts\u2019 position\u2014that they can accept the federal dollars, spend them largely as they wish, yet exempt themselves from the Act\u2019s requirements if compliance would require any local money\u2014undoes this bargain by nullifying some provisions of the Act and undermining several others.\nAccountability. Accountability is the centerpiece of the Act, and a plausible interpretation of the legislation cannot ignore that reality. Instead of focusing on how much money school districts spend on each child or \u201cdictating funding levels,\u201d the Act \u201cfocuses on the demonstrated progress of students through accountability reforms.\u201d Id. at 2603. The Act begins with a \u201cStatement of Purpose\u201d that drives home Congress\u2019s interest in establishing accountable public schools: \u201censuring . . . high-quality academic assessments [and] accountability systems\u201d; \u201cholding schools, local education agencies, and States accountable for improving the academic achievement of all students\u201d; \u201cimproving and strengthening accountability\u201d; and \u201cproviding . . . greater responsibility for student performance.\u201d 20 U.S.C. \u00a7\u00a7 6301(1), (4), (6), (7).\n\nFlexibility. The school districts\u2019 interpretation is inconsistent not only with the Act\u2019s accountability requirements but also with the flexibility the Act gives States and school districts in return for increased responsibility for student achievement. As the Act\u2019s Statement of Purpose makes clear, that is the central tradeoff of the Act: \u201cproviding greater decisionmaking authority and flexibility to schools and teachers in exchange for greater responsibility for student performance.\u201d id. \u00a7 6301(7) (emphasis added); see also Horne, 129 S. Ct. at 2601 (the Act \u201creflects Congress\u2019 judgment that the best way to raise the level of education nationwide is by granting state and local officials flexibility to develop and implement educational programs that address local needs, while holding them accountable for the results\u201d). Unlike most spending programs, this one comes with few strings telling the States how they should comply with its conditions. Under the Act, States develop their own curricula and standards, 20 U.S.C. \u00a7 6311(b)(1), their own tests to assess whether students are meeting those standards, id. \u00a7 6311(b)(3), and their own definitions of progress under those standards, id. \u00a7 6311(b)(2)(B), so long as the progress culminates in near-universal proficiency by 2014, id. \u00a7 6311(b)(2)(F).\n\nThis flexibility extends to spending as well. As the school districts rightly acknowledge, the Act \u201cprovide[s] school districts with unprecedented new flexibility in their allocation of Title I funds.\u201d Final Reply Br. of Pontiac Sch. Dist. at 3 (internal quotation marks omitted). Some federal funds, to be sure, must be spent in certain ways. See, e.g., 20 U.S.C. \u00a7 6303 (reserving some Title I, Part A funds for school improvement); id. \u00a7 6317(c)(1) (same); id. \u00a7 6318(a)(3)(A) (reserving some funds for parental involvement programs); id. \u00a7 6319(1) (reserving some funds for professional development). And the Act strictly confines the use of Title I funds to geographic areas with heavy concentrations of low-income students. See id. \u00a7 6313(a). But within these areas and with respect to these priority students, the Act gives States and school districts substantial flexibility in choosing how to spend the money. For instance: Section 6314 gives school districts wide discretion to consolidate funds from various sources and to focus them on certain schools in whatever ways will improve student performance there; \u00a7 6313(b) gives school districts discretion to transfer funds between schools within certain guidelines; and \u00a7 7305b allows States and school districts to transfer up to 50% of the funds allotted to other education programs to supplement their funds under Title I, Part A.\n\nThe substantial flexibility the Act gives recipients over federal funds is surpassed by the near-complete flexibility they retain over their own funds. The only limitation is that participating States cannot reduce their own spending and offset it with federal funding but must use the Act\u2019s federal dollars to supplement, not supplant, their own. 20 U.S.C. \u00a7\u00a7 6321, 7901. Beyond that basic requirement\u2014a prohibition on fiscal cheating, really\u2014the States can use their dollars however they see fit, whether for teachers or for computers or for facilities or for whatever else they think will help their students the most.\n\nThe express and unprecedented flexibility the Act gives to the States in prioritizing the spending of federal dollars\u2014especially in Title I, Part A\u2014cannot coexist with an interpretation of the statute that allows school districts to exempt themselves from the accountability side of the bargain whenever their spending choices do not generate the requisite achievement. Were the school districts correct, a State could use this flexibility to focus its federal and local resources almost exclusively on improving, say, teacher quality\u2014a legitimate goal no doubt, but one that would allow the State to sidestep the Act\u2019s mandatory assessment requirements by contending that it lacked the funds to administer them or to make progress under them. Sch. Dist. of City of Pontiac v. Sec\u2019y of United States Dep\u2019t of Educ., 512 F.3d 252, 284 (6th Cir. 2008) (McKeague, J. dissenting). That is not what Congress had in mind. It gave the States a clear and consequential choice: between taking the bitter (accountability) with the sweet (unprecedented flexibility in spending federal and state dollars) or leaving the money on the table.\n\nCosts of Compliance. Not surprisingly, in view of the expansive flexibility that the Act gives States in spending federal and local funds, the Act says nothing about the bill of particulars at the heart of the school districts\u2019 complaint: the costs of complying with the Act\u2019s requirements. How could it be otherwise? The Acts\u2019 spending flexibility necessarily makes it impossible to calculate or even define the costs of complying with the Act\u2019s requirements.\n\nThe primary formula for allocating Title I, Part A grant money does not say a word about costs of compliance. See 20 U.S.C. \u00a7\u00a7 6313(c), 6333(a), 6334(a), 6335(a)\u2013(c), 6337. While the Act asks States to submit plans to the Secretary, id. \u00a7 6311, and asks school districts to submit plans to the States, id. \u00a7 6312, it does not require either entity to estimate the cost of compliance. Nor, in fulfilling their various reporting responsibilities under the Act, must the States or school districts estimate the costs of compliance. See, e.g., id. \u00a7\u00a7 6311(h), 6316(a)(1)(C). If, as the Supreme Court recently explained, the Act \u201cexpressly refrains from dictating funding levels,\u201d Horne, 129 S. Ct. at 2603, why would Congress exempt failing school districts from the accountability requirements based on inadequate \u201cfunding levels\u201d? The school districts have no answer.\n\nBut even if Congress wished to make costs of compliance a legitimate excuse for, say, inadequate yearly progress, how would it do so? Once Congress decided to measure accountability by educational outputs (gauged by tests scores), as opposed to educational inputs (gauged by dollars), it made objective measurements of compliance costs virtually impossible. Any effort to measure these costs surely would vary from school to", "base_doc": "\u00a0 federal funds for achieveing progress along with substantial flexibility for achiving and\u00a0defining that progress.\u00a0 Read the whole thing, it is worth your time.\u00a0(The quote starts at about page 48.\u00a0 I've redacted some non-relevant sections and bolded the important bits.):\n\n[T]he No Child Left Behind Act clearly requires the States (and school districts) to comply with its requirements, whether doing so requires the expenditure of state and local funds or not.

See, e.g., 20 U.S.C. \u00a7 6303 (reserving some Title I, Part A funds for school improvement); id. \u00a7 6317(c)(1) (same); id. \u00a7 6318(a)(3)(A) (reserving some funds for parental involvement programs); id. \u00a7 6319(1) (reserving some funds for professional development). And the Act strictly confines the use of Title I funds to geographic areas with heavy concentrations of low-income students. See id. \u00a7 6313(a). But within these areas and with respect to these priority students, the Act gives States and school districts substantial flexibility in choosing how to spend the money. For instance: Section 6314 gives school districts wide discretion to consolidate funds from various sources and to focus them on certain schools in whatever ways will improve student performance there; \u00a7 6313(b) gives school districts discretion to transfer funds between schools within certain guidelines; and \u00a7 7305b allows States and school districts to transfer up to 50% of the funds allotted to other education programs to supplement their funds under Title I, Part A.\n\nThe substantial flexibility the Act gives recipients over federal funds is surpassed by the near-complete flexibility they retain over their own funds. The only limitation is that participating States cannot reduce their own spending and offset it with federal funding but must use the Act\u2019s federal dollars to supplement, not supplant, their own. 20 U.S.C. \u00a7\u00a7 6321, 7901. Beyond that basic requirement\u2014a prohibition on fiscal cheating, really\u2014the States can use their dollars however they see fit, whether for teachers or for computers or for facilities or for whatever else they think will help their students the most.\n\nThe express and unprecedented flexibility the Act gives to the States in prioritizing the spending of federal dollars\u2014especially in Title I, Part A\u2014cannot coexist with an interpretation of the statute that allows school districts to exempt themselves from the accountability side of the bargain whenever their spending choices do not generate the requisite achievement. Were the school districts correct, a State could use this flexibility to focus its federal and local resources almost exclusively on improving, say, teacher quality\u2014a legitimate goal no doubt, but one that would allow the State to sidestep the Act\u2019s mandatory assessment requirements by contending that it lacked the funds to administer them or to make progress under them. Sch. Dist. of City of Pontiac v. Sec\u2019y of United States Dep\u2019t of Educ., 512 F.3d 252, 284 (6th Cir. 2008) (McKeague, J. dissenting). That is not what Congress had in mind. It gave the States a clear and consequential choice: between taking the bitter (accountability) with the sweet (unprecedented flexibility in spending federal and state dollars) or leaving the money on the table.\n\nCosts of Compliance. Not surprisingly, in view of the expansive flexibility that the Act gives States in spending federal and local funds, the Act says nothing about the bill of particulars at the heart of the school districts\u2019 complaint: the costs of complying with the Act\u2019s requirements. How could it be otherwise? The Acts\u2019 spending flexibility necessarily makes it impossible to calculate or even define the costs of complying with the Act\u2019s requirements.\n\nThe primary formula for allocating Title I, Part A grant money does not say a word about costs of compliance. See 20 U.S.C. \u00a7\u00a7 6313(c), 6333(a), 6334(a), 6335(a)\u2013(c), 6337. While the Act asks States to submit plans to the Secretary, id. \u00a7 6311, and asks school districts to submit plans to the States, id. \u00a7 6312, it does not require either entity to estimate the cost of compliance. Nor, in fulfilling their various reporting responsibilities under the Act, must the States or school districts estimate the costs of compliance. See, e.g., id. \u00a7\u00a7 6311(h), 6316(a)(1)(C). If, as the Supreme Court recently explained, the Act \u201cexpressly refrains from dictating funding levels,\u201d Horne, 129 S. Ct. at 2603, why would Congress exempt failing school districts from the accountability requirements based on inadequate \u201cfunding levels\u201d? The school districts have no answer.\n\nBut even if Congress wished to make costs of compliance a legitimate excuse for, say, inadequate yearly progress, how would it do so? Once Congress decided to measure accountability by educational outputs (gauged by tests scores), as opposed to educational inputs (gauged by dollars), it made objective measurements of compliance costs virtually impossible. Any effort to measure these costs surely would vary from school to school, if not from student to student, and they surely would vary from year to year. The phrase \u201ccosts of compliance\u201d has no discernible meaning in this context, as the", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 433670, "pt_loc": 8461716, "pt_shuffle_idx": 184175020, "doc_index_f": 288716889, "doc_index_l": 288716889, "offset_f": 121, "offset_l": 2169, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 38, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": "Tanya made sure to always wear makeup compared to Felicia because _ was not vain.\nOption 1: Tanya\nOption 2: Felicia\nAnswer: 2<|endoftext|> supposedly suicidal, are downright embarrassing.

Conceptually, the film\u2019s central interest in humanity as its own biggest enemy is intriguing (\u00e1 la The Twilight Zone\u2019s \u201cThe Monsters Are Due on Maple Street\u201d), but its expression of that theme is somewhat ham-fisted. Marcia Gay Harden plays Mrs. Carmody, a doomsday prophet who builds a dangerously devout congregation in the store as the situation deteriorates. Cartoonish religious zealots are a familiar sight in Stephen King stories, and Carmody is over-the-top even by King standards, but the folly of her ways is not trusted to be self-evident. Among the store\u2019s minority of rational protagonists, great swaths of dialogue are devoted to dismantling the Bush-era fear-mongering Carmody represents, and that sanctimonious liberal grandstanding is no less off-putting than the crazy Old Testament straw man it refutes.\n\nThe Mist fares better mining horror more directly from its namesake, whose atmosphere of quiet dread is quite effective, especially when our protagonists venture out of the store and into the unknown. Also, the many creatures on offer pack some fun and frightening surprises, even if the CGI that powers them is a bit hokey. The ending, which improves on King\u2019s original novella, is a magnificent gut punch of a sort rarely authorized by studio execs.

The evidence is there if they'd just look.\u201d\n\nWith the police failing him, Sacchi went online, finding through social media a lot of men like him who told similar stories of Birean \u201cfriends\u201d who'd pop up into their lives and eventually kidnap their wives or daughters or sisters, and leave without any kind of trace. He says many of these men have become his friends, and together they hope to uncover the truth behind the disappearances.\n\nVerona Police Chief Enrico Favale insists that, despite Sacchi's claims, he has no biases against him.\n\n\u201cIt's just common practice,\u201d Favale said, \u201cto look at the husband first when investigating the disappearance of a wife. Our investigators did a poor job communicating that to Mr. Sacchi, but I stand by their findings.\u201d\n\nFavale says his investigators have done their due diligence, though he declined to get into too many specifics, citing the sensitive nature of the investigation. He did state that at the Sacchi home there was no sign of forced entry, which indicates that MacTavish was let inside willingly, and that there were no signs of foul play. He also told reporters that he found no \u201cirregularities\u201d concerning the phone or bank records of MacTavish or anyone within the Sacchi residence, nor did investigators find anything suspicious concerning travel or travelers to and from Birea.\n\n\u201cIt's obvious that if- and I can't emphasize that it's only an 'if',\u201d said Favale, \u201cif Mrs. Sacchi was indeed abducted by Mr. MacTavish that they fled the country via falsified documents, documents paid with through cash.\n\n\u201cHowever, at this stage, something like that is pure conjecture, as we have no evidence that Mrs. Sacchi or Mr. MacTavish have left Venetia. Therefore, we are treating both subjects as missing persons, and have devoted the appropriate resources to those cases.\u201d\n\nWhen asked about the similar nature to Sacchi's case with other allegations spread across the Internet, Favale simply stated that he has no evidence to suggest that any of them are related.\n\n\u201cThese are simply stories,\u201d said Favale, \u201cwith very few police reports, and very little to connect those reports besides some very broad similarities.\n\n\u201cThat said, we do urge the public that if you do have concerns to relay the information to us. The more incidents that are brought to our attention, the greater the chance that we have to make a connection, if in fact there is one. Right now, there just isn't the evidence to make that connection, and none appears to be forthcoming. So therefore, we are sticking with our initial analysis but have kept the case open for further investigation.\u201d<|endoftext|>Alert Email External Link Letterboxd 0.5/5 stars 1/5 stars 1.5/5 stars 2/5 stars 2.5/5 stars 3/5 stars 3.5/5 stars 4/5 stars 4.5/5 stars 5/5 stars RSS Source Topic Twitter\n\nThe Mist\n\nIn The Mist, a few dozen townspeople are trapped in a Maine grocery store enveloped in a thick fog which is inhabited by mysterious, deadly creatures, and order dissolves at roughly the same rate as the hope of rescue. Conceptually, the film\u2019s central interest in humanity as its own biggest enemy is intriguing (\u00e1 la The Twilight Zone\u2019s \u201cThe Monsters Are Due on Maple Street\u201d), but its expression of that theme is somewhat ham-fisted. Marcia Gay Harden plays Mrs. Carmody, a doomsday prophet who builds a dangerously devout congregation in the store as the situation deteriorates. Cartoonish religious zealots are a familiar sight in Stephen King stories, and Carmody is over-the-top even by King standards, but the folly of her ways is not trusted to be self-evident. Among the store\u2019s minority of rational protagonists, great swaths of dialogue are devoted to dismantling the Bush-era fear-mongering Carmody represents, and that sanctimonious liberal grandstanding is no less off-putting than the crazy Old Testament straw man it refutes.\n\nThe Mist fares better mining horror more directly from its namesake, whose atmosphere of quiet dread is quite effective, especially when our protagonists venture out of the store and into the unknown. Also, the many creatures on offer pack some fun and frightening surprises, even if the CGI that powers them is a bit hokey. The ending, which improves on King\u2019s original novella, is a magnificent gut punch of a sort rarely authorized by studio execs. It\u2019s arguably worth the price of admission all by itself.<|endoftext|>Thames Valley Police has said there is currently no evidence to suggest anyone else was involved in the death of Russian businessman Boris Berezovsky.\n\n\nSpecialist officers in chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) substances examined the property today before giving the all clear.\n\n\n\nScenes of crime officers are continuing a thorough investigation to determine the circumstances of his death after the CBRN experts had examined the country estate as a precaution.\n\n\n\n\n\nPolice said the CBRN team was initially called in after the paramedic who declared Mr Berezovsky dead at the scene had their radiation detector triggered.\n\nMr Berezovsky, who had survived a number of assassination attempts, amassed a fortune through oil and automobiles during Russia's chaotic privatisation of state assets following the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s.\n\nOnce a member of Russian President Boris Yeltsin's inner circle, Mr Berezovsky fell out with Mr Yeltsin's successor, Vladimir Putin, and fled to Britain in the early 2000s to escape fraud charges that he said were politically motivated.\n\nHe became a strident and frequent critic of Mr Putin, accusing the leader of ushering in a dictatorship, and accused the security services of organising the 1999 apartment house bombings in Moscow and two other Russian cities that became a pretext for Russian troops to sweep into Chechnya for the second war there in half a decade.\n\nRussia repeatedly sought to extradite Mr Berezovksy on a wide variety of criminal charges, and the tycoon vehemently rejected allegations over the years that he was linked to several deaths, including that of journalist Anna Politkovskaya and ex-KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko.\n\nLast year, Mr Berezovsky lost a multibillion-pound High Court case against fellow Russian Roman Abramovich and was ordered to pay \u00a335m in legal costs.<|endoftext|>Who are the Basques?\n\nThe Basque people come from the Basque Country, or Euskal Herria, which is located along the Pyrenees Mountains in southern France and northern Spain.

Poetry continues to be central to many young people\u2019s lives as they move on to university, where they may write in the hope of publication, or to incite fellow students to confront the government, or just to impress a lover.\n\nTin Moe was involved in designing the school literature syllabus in which Khit San poets predominate. But over time some have dropped off the list as they fell out of favour with the military regime. These include Min Thu Wun, who stood as an MP for Aung San Suu Kyi\u2019s National League for Democracy in the 1990 elections, Tin Moe who was jailed for working closely with the NLD and student activists. He and Maung Swan Yi both went into exile in the USA.\n\nIn the 1960s and 1970s, a new group of \u2018kayan-m\u00e9h\u2019 (or rhymeless\u2019) poets began to emerge, led by figures such as Thu Kamein Hlaing, Hpaw Wai, Maung Chaw Nweh, Paing So Wai, Maung Lay Aung and Aung Cheimt. These contemporary poets discarded rhyming verse in favour of poems written in the voice of the ordinary person.\n\nThe establishment poets such as Tin Moe, who under the socialist government of the time were committed to social realism and \u2018enriching literature\u2019, did not approve of this new wave of poets and sought to discourage magazines from giving them space. They claimed that their works were not original but were copied from foreign works. There was some truth in that, in so far as foreign poets were a major influence on this group, who were particularly inspired by Vladimir Mayakovsky\u2019s poem \u2018A Cloud in Trousers\u2019, translated by Maung Tha Noe. Noe\u2019s translations of poets such as T.S. Eliot, Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes were published in 1968 under the title In the shade of a pine tree*. The influence of these translations can be seen in subsequent collections such as Thu Kamein Hlaing\u2019s June Shower (1972) and Cruel Music from Dead Leaves (1974), a collection by Aung Cheimt, Paw Wai and Maung Chaw Nweh.\n\nAfter the 1988 democracy movement, this kind of poetry became increasingly dominant in the many monthly magazines. Popular poets of the last two decades\u2014all male\u2014include Hla Than a.k.a. Kyi Maung Than, Moe Zaw, Maung Di, Maung Thein Zaw (also a dancer), Nay Myo, Saing Win Myint, San Oo, Min Htet Maung (who will shortly attend the Iowa Writing programme) and Aung Wai, who fled Burma after the Saffron Revolution and is now a refugee in Michigan**.\n\nAfter the death of Maung Chaw Nweh in 2000, Zeyar Lin has arguably taken on the mantle as Burma\u2019s most influential contemporary poet. A successful English teacher, he has translated foreign poets such as Wyslawa Szymborska, Nicanor Parra and Donald Justice, and has largely been responsible for bringing postmodern and language poetry to the Burmese***. Zeya Lin rejects poetry about feelings and the heart and focuses on poetry from the brain. This was a radical move for Burmese poets in the 1990s, but after struggling for many years to be accepted by magazine editors, Zeya Lin\u2019s popularity has now taken off, his style is highly regarded, and other poets who follow it are referred to as his \u2018gang\u2019.\n\nAlthough in recent years, poets such as Nyein Wai and Manorhary have started to publish via blogging on the internet, being seen in monthly magazines is still the priority for Burma\u2019s poets today. Each month sees the publication of some 70 new poems, which ultimately a poet will aim to have published as a collection. But the payment for a poem in a magazine ranges from 1,000 to 2,000 kyats (the equivalent of 1-2 US Dollars), to 5,000 kyats for a well-known poet. Some poets survive by teaching English. Others such as Thu Kamein Hlaing are able to make a living writing lyrics in Burmese for cover versions of Western songs, at $100 a song (although a movement against cover versions in recent years has reduced their opportunities). Other poets survive on the income of their families, or through support from friends.

There are some poets, such as Saw Wai, who have been jailed as a direct result of their poems. Other poets have been imprisoned for political activity, and have used their years in jail to write hundreds of poems. Other activists who were not professional poets, such as Min Ko Naing and Zargana, also used their prison time to write.\n\nPoetry is the most common form of literature in Burma, and also the most censored, and poets have to be constantly inventive to evade the censors. Some magazine editors are cautious but others have a reputation for taking risks, sometimes because they also are, or were, activists. Poets whose work pushes the political boundaries will tend to gravitate towards them until the magazine goes a step too far and is closed down or subject to a temporary ban. When new magazines are set up, the editor will seek to headhunt their favourite poets from other magazines.\n\nThe majority of the poets chosen for this selection are poets who have lived through difficult times in jail, but have continued to write poetry, no matter how hard their lives. The poems tell of the problems facing Burma today and the feelings of the poets towards their situation. Maung Aung Pwint, Maung Tin Thit and Pone Thet Paing were all political prisoners who wrote poetry while in jail and have continued to do so since their release. Maung Aung Pwint\u2019s poem \u2018At the Gate\u2019 speaks of his feelings on the day of his release. He was born in 1945, and had his first poem published in 1968. He has been jailed four times for his political activities in 1967-68, 1978-80, 1997 and from 1999 to 2005, and has worked as a schoolteacher, proof reader, used book dealer, news monitoring editor and video scriptwriter.\n\nMaung Tin Thit was born in 1967, and studied medicine before being expelled for student activism in 1989.

There were even speculations doing the rounds that she has moved base to Hyderabad given the number of Telugu films she worked in. However, Tabu maintains that she has been very much based in Mumbai.\n\n\nThe two-time National Award winner, who is currently promoting her upcoming Ang Lee film, says that she doesn\u2019t shuttle between Hyderabad and Mumbai at all. \u201cIt\u2019s just a myth. Funnily enough, people keep asking me questions like \u2018Oh, you\u2019ve come all the way from Hyderabad for this party?\u2019 or \u2018You\u2019ll be back to Hyderabad tonight?\u2019 I\u2019m so fed up that I\u2019d want to strangle them the next time I\u2019m expected to answer such queries,\u201d quips Tabu.\n\nShe adds that she has a bungalow in Hyderabad because she always wanted to have a big house in her native place. She further states, \u201cIf it was possible to buy a bungalow in Mumbai, I would have happily done that (laughs)! \u00a0But given Hyderabad\u2019s relatively cheaper price of property, I bought myself a large piece of land and built myself a spacious house. Initially, I stayed there for just 15 days before getting thoroughly bored. After living in apartments for so long, too much space gets boring.\u201d\n\nOn being asked when was the last time she visited the IT city, Tabu points to her dear ones back there. \u201cI was there two years ago to attend a relative\u2019s wedding. I\u2019m very fond of my birthplace but as of now, the bungalow is given out on rent to a friend.\u201d\n\n\nIs it all over?\nThough Tabu is not known for spilling beans about her personal life, there has been strong buzz suggesting an alleged relationship with Telugu actor Nagarjuna. Interestingly, both of them were present at the recent Big B birthday bash, although not together. Nag was accompanied by his wife Amala, while Tabu went solo. But going by her latest remarks about Hyderabad, everything seems to buried be in the past if at all, there was a fling in the first place!\n\nGo to top<|endoftext|>224 were donated in April\nThis month, we are on track to donate 226\n\n\n\nschmexy rate\n(Adjective) sexy. we needed a new word because my kids think sexy is a bad word.\nUsage: You are very schmexy.\n\nschmexy rate\n(Expression) sexy or beautiful.\nUsage: My kitten is schmexy\n\nLink to this page:\n\nAdd or improve a definition\n\nHTML tags are not allowed and will be encoded.\nhome\u00a0\u00a0 recent additions\u00a0\u00a0 webmaster page\u00a0\u00a0 banners\u00a0\u00a0 feed a child<|endoftext|>Donald was not old enough to drive but Leslie was, so _ was drove them to store because they could drive on their own.\nOption 1: Donald\nOption 2: Leslie\nAnswer: 2<|endoftext|>John_Barry11 (Member)\n\n\nThose with a generous social succeeding are the ones that get heard the most.

There were even speculations doing the rounds that she has moved base to Hyderabad given the number of Telugu films she worked in. However, Tabu maintains that she has been very much based in Mumbai.\n\n\nThe two-time National Award winner, who is currently promoting her upcoming Ang Lee film, says that she doesn\u2019t shuttle between Hyderabad and Mumbai at all. \u201cIt\u2019s just a myth. Funnily enough, people keep asking me questions like \u2018Oh, you\u2019ve come all the way from Hyderabad for this party?\u2019 or \u2018You\u2019ll be back to Hyderabad tonight?\u2019 I\u2019m so fed up that I\u2019d want to strangle them the next time I\u2019m expected to answer such queries,\u201d quips Tabu.\n\nShe adds that she has a bungalow in Hyderabad because she always wanted to have a big house in her native place. She further states, \u201cIf it was possible to buy a bungalow in Mumbai, I would have happily done that (laughs)! \u00a0But given Hyderabad\u2019s relatively cheaper price of property, I bought myself a large piece of land and built myself a spacious house. Initially, I stayed there for just 15 days before getting thoroughly bored. After living in apartments for so long, too much space gets boring.\u201d\n\nOn being asked when was the last time she visited the IT city, Tabu points to her dear ones back there. \u201cI was there two years ago to attend a relative\u2019s wedding. I\u2019m very fond of my birthplace but as of now, the bungalow is given out on rent to a friend.\u201d\n\n\nIs it all over?\nThough Tabu is not known for spilling beans about her personal life, there has been strong buzz suggesting an alleged relationship with Telugu actor Nagarjuna. Interestingly, both of them were present at the recent Big B birthday bash, although not together. Nag was accompanied by his wife Amala, while Tabu went solo. But going by her latest remarks about Hyderabad, everything seems to buried be in the past if at all, there was a fling in the first place!\n\nGo to top<|endoftext|>224 were donated in April\nThis month, we are on track to donate 226\n\n\n\nschmexy rate\n(Adjective) sexy. we needed a new word because my kids think sexy is a bad word.\nUsage: You are very schmexy.\n\nschmexy rate\n(Expression) sexy or beautiful.\nUsage: My kitten is schmexy\n\nLink to this page:\n\nAdd or improve a definition\n\nHTML tags are not allowed and will be encoded.\nhome\u00a0\u00a0 recent additions\u00a0\u00a0 webmaster page\u00a0\u00a0 banners\u00a0\u00a0 feed a child<|endoftext|>John_Barry11 (Member)\n\n\nThose with a generous social succeeding are the ones that get heard the most.

Formula is a generalization of an RDF-graph, adding variables.\n\nN3 rules are at the same time more and less expressive than Datalog. On one hand, N3 is restricted to binary predicates (triples), but on the other, existentials (bnodes) are allowed in the consequents of the rules. Another restriction worth mentioning is that, since monotonicity is one of the design goals for N3, there is no negation-as-failure. The only form of negation allowed in N3 is what we term scoped negation as failure, which will be described in section 4.8@@.\n\nOne of the design goals of N3 is that information, such as but not limited to rules, which requires greater expresive power than RDF, should be sharable in the same way as RDF can be shared. This means that one person should be able to express knowledge in N3 for a certain purpose, and later independently someone else reuse that knowledge for a different unforeseen purpose. As the context of the later use is unknown, this prevents us from making implicit closed assumptions about the total set of knowledge in the system as a whole. As a result of this, N3 does not make the Closed World Assumption in general.\n\n\nFigure 1 represents a high-level architecture diagram of Cwm. In the following subsections, we will expand on the most important sections of the diagram.\n\ncwm architecture diagram\n\ncwm software architecture\n\nParsing and Serialization\n\nThe N3 and RDF languages are grammatically similar, to the extent that it is possible to translate one into the other in a streaming mode. The efficiencies evident from this mode of operation led to a design of an abstract syntax interface which parsers and serializers supported. This is still in use, but experience was that as the N3 language became more sophisticated, the streaming interface became more burdensome to support as an output format for the serialization module (pretty.py).\n\n\nThe store (llyn.py) is a triple store, extended to cover the full N3 language, and also to record the provenance of each statement. A statement therefore is stored as the subject, predicate and object of RDF, plus the 'context' the identity of the formula in which the statement is, and a record of the reason object which stores the reason for the statement having been added to the store. This is used in proof processing.\n\nThe store was originally designed and built with four indices, so that list was kept of each statement in which a given term occurred as, respectively, the subject, predicate, object or context. When there was a need to improve performance, this was changed so than now 7 indices are used, as almost every combination of subject , predicate, object pattern with wildcards are indexed. This is a questionable tradeoff, as many tasks involve the input and output of data with relatively little processing, so the indexing overhead may dominate.\n\nInference engine\n\nThe inference engine is essentially a simple forward chaining reasoner for N3 rules.\n\nThe matching engine which runs the rules operates simply by recursive search, with some optimizations. Firstly, the rule set is analyzed to determine which rules can possible affect the output of some other rules. A partial order is found, which for example in some cases will produce a pipeline. Otherwise, where rules can interact, they are tried repeatedly until no further rule firings occur. The second optimization is that, when matching a graph template, which is a series of template statements, the statements are ordered for processing as a function of the length of the index which would have to be searched, doing the smallest indexes first. This provides a significant improvement in many real-world examples where the data is very asymmetrical, in that some areas of the graph are dense and tabular in form, and others sparsely connected.\n\nThe inference engine also performs two extensions to its normal role, these being the execution of built-in functions, and the delegation of parts of the query to remote systems or remote documents.\n\n\n\nFiltering in cwm (using --filter) is a convenient way to reduce the data being output. When a filter runs only the information gathered by the rules is preserved: everything else is discarded. We use a filter to select the logical relationships that we want from the mass of what is already known.\n\nFor an example, let's say that for a particular genealogical knowledge base, we only want to know whether Joe and Bob are related. Thus, in addition to the data file (say, family.n3) that holds all of the family facts and the rules (uncle, cousin,sibling etc.) we wil add a filter file (uncleFilter.n3) that only looks for the facts we are interested in:\n# What is the relationship between Joe and Bob\n{ :Joe ?p :Bob } log:implies { ?p a :RelationshipBetweeJoeAndBob }.\n\n# Is Bob an Uncle of Joe?\n{ :Joe :uncle :Bob } log:implies { :Joe :uncle :Bob }.\n\nWhen we ask cwm to consider the implication it concludes:\n\n> python cwm.py family.n3 --think --filter=uncleFilter.n3\n :Joe :uncle :Bob .\n :uncle a :RelationshipBetweeJoeAndBob .\n\nThe command line can be read as: read family.n3 and the deduce any new information you can given any rules you have. Now just tell me the information selected by the filter uncleFilter.n3. Note that any data in the filter is not used - the filter file is only searched for rules.\n\n\nAs the Semantic Web is built, using RDF graphs[RDFC04] to represent data such as bibliographies[DC02], syndication summaries[RSS] and medical terminology[Gol03],a need arises for difference and sum functions for RDF graphs. The problem of updating and synchronizing data in the Semantic Web motivates an analog to text diffs for RDF graphs. An accompanying delta.py program will compare graphs and generate difference files (deltas). [REF rdf diff @@unpublished] addresses the problem of comparing two RDF graphs, generating a set of differences, and updating a graph from a set of differences. The paper discusses two forms of difference information, the context-sensitive weak patch, and the context-free strong patch. It also gives a proposed update ontology for patch files for RDF.\n\nBuilt-in functions\n\nMany reasoning engines have an ability to perform arithmetic, but arithmetic facts separated out from the facts of the knowledge base as being fundamentally different things. In cwm, this is not the case: arithmetic facts, as with all other facts where the validity can be checked or the result evaluated by machine, are represented as RDF properties. This is done for various reasons. Philosophically, the design was not prepared to commit to a partitioning of knowledge into two parts in this fashion. It was felt necessary to be able to reason about these functions as well as to evaluate them. We understand that this causes problems for a Derscription Logic based systems, but this is not a DL system. it was also done for architectural simplicity. Making this simple decision allows all the language support for RDF and N3 to be immediately adopted for the arithmetic expressions; the store can store them, the serializer can output them and so on. Contrast this with the situation in for example SPARQL[SPARQL], in which a special place in th query expression is reserved for filter expressions, and whole separate syntax is supported for it.\n\nWithin the reasoner, built-in functions are made part of the query. During query optimization, light builtins (such as negation of an integer) are assumed to be faster than searching the store, and are performed the moment they can be, while heavy builtins, such as accessing the Web, making a remote query, or recusively invoking the reasoner itself, are assumed to take a long time, and are postponed until anything faster, including searching the local store, as been done.\n\nThere is also support for N-ary bultins, implemented using lists\n\n{ (?x.tempInF \"32\") math:difference ?a.\n (?a \"0.5555\") math:product ?c.\n} => {\n ?x tempInC ?c.\n\nLogic Built-ins\n\nAs we mentioned before, our design goals were that the\n\na) tool has to be able to interact with the web, and\n\nb) rather than retrieving all the", "base_doc": " readable, using the subject predicate object form.

What security?\n\nSince I'm often messing around with electronics near my workstation, which is 2-3 meters away from the equipment rack, I've started looking into making a remote control for my lab power supply. The thing is has LXI support, which means I can hook it up to the network and send commands to it -- both to query state and to change the state. \u00a0Setting voltage and current limit, turning outputs on and off etc.\n\nThe idea was to use an ESP8266, hook up a display to it and a couple of buttons and rotary encoders, and then write some firmware for it which allows you to talk to the power supply -- setting voltage and current for the outputs, plus add support for a few other things. \u00a0Perhaps not terribly useful for anyone but me, but a fun project.\n\nWhile reading the documentation for the SCPI commands of the lab supply it struck me that this stuff has no security whatsoever. \u00a0None. \u00a0Zero. \u00a0No username, no password, no standard keying scheme. You just connect and you send commands and the machine does stuff. \u00a0There may be some lab equipment that has security features, but none of the stuff I have has any protection whatsoever.\n\nWhich means that in just a few lines of code, you can build a network scanner that will look for LXI-enabled devices, figure out what they are and then manipulate them. \u00a0Actually, one of the open source tools for talking to LXI/SCPI enabled devices has a scanning feature for finding devices -- so figuring out how to do this is trivial.\n\nThis means that if you connect to a lab network with LXI-enabled devices, you could query a power supply to find out how much juice it can deliver on each channel and then crank up the voltage and current limits to the maximum value on every output. \u00a0 If you are building electronics that operate at 3.3 or 5.0 volts and have them hooked up, that would probably fry them. \u00a0Perhaps you could even start a fire that way.\n\nOr you could be more subtle and introduce small intermittent problems. \u00a0Like monitoring the current draw of a device and then reduce the current limit on an output to deliver slightly less current in order to provoke erratic behavior in electronics.\n\nI started looking for security information on LXI on the web. \u00a0Not a big research project, but just a few google searches to get some feel for what's going on here.\n\nI stumbled across a talk by a representative of some instrument manufacturer talking about this. \u00a0His take was that \"well, you'll have to deal with this in routers...create VLANs and deal with whitelists and packet filters etc\".\n\nWell, sure, this is lab equipment, but really? \u00a0This fellow lives in la-la-land. \u00a0If he thinks that this works in real life he is mistaken. \u00a0If you need to get some lab equipment up quickly and perhaps log some data or remote control some gear, you'll do whatever you can to get it working and then leave it at that. \u00a0You will not be having meetings with the IT department to have your network configured every time you get a new piece of gear. \u00a0And if you do have a messy network setup with all manner of access control, it is going to be slow and time-consuming to make any changes. \u00a0You'll be screwing over your engineers or your production staff.\n\nI'm not so sure I want to implement a remote for my power supply now. \u00a0I wouldn't want to be sitting with my nose hovering over some piece of electronics and then suddenly have stuff blow up in my face because someone decided to write malware that targets LXI enabled devices. \u00a0I know myself well enough to know that I'm not going to bother setting up a separate network for my lab equipment.\n\n\nEscaping the open plan office.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet off my lawn.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBecause they would understand it was HIS fault, right?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBecause that's the problem they chose to solve.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNow, get off my lawn!\n\n\nPrinting using PVAc glue on the build plate.\n\nDoing my first 3D print with glue on the build plate instead of painter's tape. \u00a0I got tired of poor adhesion for the first few lines and then too much adhesion when you want to pull the part off -- resulting in parts that have fragments of painter's tape stuck to them.\n\nI mixed 1 part Polyvinyl Acetate (PVAc) to 4 parts water in a jar, shook it until the glue dissolved and then painted the mix onto the build plate while keeping the build plate at about 50 degrees celsius. \u00a0The water evaporates, leaving a thin residue of glue on the surface. \u00a0 I put down layers of this, letting each layer dry before putting on the next. \u00a0After about 3 layers the surface gets a slightly milky look.\n\nI probably should have allowed it to dry completely. \u00a0The surface was a tad sticky when I started printing. \u00a0But this didn't seem to matter. \u00a0The initial lines of the skirt (a line the software draws around the part in order to get good filament flow before starting to print the actual part) stuck beautifully.\n\nI decided to try PVAc glue since this weekend I am bulk-printing enclosures for a camera prototype. It is a simple, low cost GSM connected webcam to explore what we can accomplish using cheap off-the-shelf parts. \u00a0I designed a very simple enclosure for it and next week we are going to put together a bunch of these devices. \u00a0We've tried to keep things as simple as possible, \u00a0but we still have to solder some wires to the board to hook up a switch and an LED.\n\n\nReviewing 3D printers\n\nI've read quite a few 3D printer reviews over the last months and now that I have had the opportunity to collect two months worth of practical experience with a well known 3D printer, I have to conclude that most 3D printer reviews are worthless.\n\nIn general, you can disregard magazine reviews. \u00a0These are the worst. \u00a0The problem with these is that they are usually performed under time pressure and it seems more important for magazines to have a review of 3D printers than to do it well.\n\nMagazine 3D printer reviews at this point are nothing more than glorified unboxing videos in text form and you should probably not take them seriously. \u00a0 I say \"probably\", because sooner or later I guess some magazine will start applying serious evaluation methodology. \u00a0So far though, I have not seen this.\n\nYou will find the most useful reviews in blog postings and forums. \u00a0People who own the device and who have used it for at least a few months. \u00a0 For example Nick Lievendag is pretty good at reviewing 3D printers since he actually uses them to do work.\n\nHere is a brief list of what a proper review should minimally involve:\n\n \u2022 Test the machine for at least a couple of months. \u00a0It should have at least 350-500 hours of printing on it before you conclude anything. \u00a0If you think this is a lot: this is rather typical load when you do a project. \u00a0Prints take a long time so you try to minimize the idle time so that you can get more done per day. \u00a050-60 hours of printing time per week is a relatively moderate load during a project. \u00a0You can easily double that if you time things properly and you have 24/7 access to the machine.\n \u2022 Test it until something breaks. \u00a0Some machines have weak parts. \u00a0You need to know which parts fail first and you need to know what it will take to repair the machine. \u00a0What is covered by warranty is really not interesting. \u00a0Breakdowns cause downtime and if you have to return parts and wait for new parts to turn up, that will cost you valuable time. \u00a0Also calculate the cost of running the machine over time given the cost of repairs. \u00a0(Some 3D printers need spare parts that add up to more than the printer costs within a year. \u00a0I have yet to see a single magazine review that addresses this rather important aspect of 3D printer ownership).\n \u2022 Take the machine apart and have someone with technical insight analyze the design and the parts used. \u00a0Down to looking at what chips have been used for stepper control, what CPU it uses, what kind of firmware, PSU, technology used for calibration etc. \u00a0Also get someone who knows about mechanical design to look at the mechanical design. \u00a0Precision, durability etc. \u00a0If you are squeamish about taking printers apart because you are afraid to piss off manufacturers, reviewing hardware is not for you. \u00a0If they try to make you sign NDA agreements you are, of course, disqualified from reviewing the product.\nTaking the product apart is more or less a requirement for a serious Magazine review at this point. For privately owned 3D printers this may not be feasible, so it would be unreasonable to expect this from owners. \u00a0But people who make a living reviewing stuff: \u00a0if you don't you are not serious about what", "base_doc": " before. mon\u00f3dica Earle immerses her sleeves isocracies the boys ringkasan materi ikatan kimia nationwide.

Normally these complements are direct objects (and thus substantives) of transitive verbs, but for the sense verb, they are adjectives.\n\nThe Romance languages do not form compound words using this sort of inversion of verb and object. So where English has skyscraper, Spanish has rascacielos, Portuguese has arranha-c\u00e9u, French has gratte-ciel, Italian has grattacielo, and Catalan has gratacel or tocan\u00favols. Here the complement follows the verb, whereas in English, it precedes it.\n\nshare|improve this answer\nAddition: they're normally direct objects, or subject complements for linking verbs (nice-seeming, harsh-appearing, etc.).

When we say \u201che looks good\u201d and \u201che is good-looking\u201d, \u201cgood\u201d is not an adverb but an adjective used as a predicate complement, as in \u201che is good\u201d, or \u201cthe food tastes good\u201d.In \u201che looks well\u201d and \u201che is well-looking\u201d, \u201cwell\u201d is not the adverb from \u201cgood\u201d but the adjective \u201cwell\u201d = \u201chealthy\u201d.

Many would say that good looks means that one is healthy, but generally when used in that way, it would not work.\n\nshare|improve this answer\n\nLooking is a \"gerund\" (an -ing verb used as a noun). Hence, it is modified by the adjective good, rather than the adverb well. In your other examples with \"well,\" (mannered, behaved, etc.), it modified verbs (in the past tense).\n\nshare|improve this answer\n\"Good-looking\" is not a noun but an adjective. \u2013\u00a0 fdb Aug 30 '14 at 0:51\n@fdb: Yes, the combined word \"goodlooking\" is an adjective.

Decide what, where and when you are decluttering, and only work on ONE area at a time. Dedicate some time to decluttering in your schedule, otherwise it will always slip to the bottom of the To Do list and never get done.\n\n#3 Prepare for the task at hand\n\nIf your floor is covered in clothes, or your desk covered in papers, clear the area first without sorting.

Normally these complements are direct objects (and thus substantives) of transitive verbs, but for the sense verb, they are adjectives.\n\nThe Romance languages do not form compound words using this sort of inversion of verb and object. So where English has skyscraper, Spanish has rascacielos, Portuguese has arranha-c\u00e9u, French has gratte-ciel, Italian has grattacielo, and Catalan has gratacel or tocan\u00favols. Here the complement follows the verb, whereas in English, it precedes it.\n\nshare|improve this answer\nAddition: they're normally direct objects, or subject complements for linking verbs (nice-seeming, harsh-appearing, etc.). Note that English does have a few compounds that work in the \u2018Romance\u2019 way, the most widely discussed example being pickpocket. There is a whole PhD thesis about them. \u2013\u00a0 Janus Bahs Jacquet Aug 30 '14 at 1:08\n@JanusBahsJacquet It hardly seems fair that pickpockets and nitpickers should hang out at opposite ends of the connective spectrum. Obviously the pocketpickers are trying to disguise their nefarious activities by using a nonstandard ordering. :) \u2013\u00a0 tchrist Aug 30 '14 at 1:17\n\n\"well-looking\" is the opposite of sick-looking, \"good-looking\" the opposite of ugly-looking.\n\nshare|improve this answer\n\nWhen we say \u201che means well\u201d and \u201che is well-meaning\u201d, \u201cwell\u201d is an adverb modifying the verb \u201cmean\u201d. When we say \u201che looks good\u201d and \u201che is good-looking\u201d, \u201cgood\u201d is not an adverb but an adjective used as a predicate complement, as in \u201che is good\u201d, or \u201cthe food tastes good\u201d.In \u201che looks well\u201d and \u201che is well-looking\u201d, \u201cwell\u201d is not the adverb from \u201cgood\u201d but the adjective \u201cwell\u201d = \u201chealthy\u201d. So here too we have a predicate complement, not an adverb.\n\nshare|improve this answer\nIn that case, why don't we say \"He is good-mannered? \u2013\u00a0 Centaurus Aug 30 '14 at 1:06\nBecause there is no verb \"to manner\". Here \"well\" is an adverb modifying an adjective. \u2013\u00a0 fdb Aug 30 '14 at 1:07\nTo paraphrase you, when we say \"he has good intentions\", good is not an adverb, but an adjective used as a predicate complement. However, contrary to what you said, when we form the compound-adjective, we use the adverb \"well\". \u2013\u00a0 Centaurus Aug 30 '14 at 1:15\nNo, \"good\" in \"good intentions\" is an attributive adjective, not a predicate. \u2013\u00a0 fdb Aug 30 '14 at 1:18\nI got confused here. I guess you're right. \u2013\u00a0 Centaurus Aug 30 '14 at 1:20\n\nNo, looking well means that one is looking healthy. Many would say that good looks means that one is healthy, but generally when used in that way, it would not work.\n\nshare|improve this answer\n\nLooking is a \"gerund\" (an -ing verb used as a noun). Hence, it is modified by the adjective good, rather than the adverb well. In your other examples with \"well,\" (mannered, behaved, etc.), it modified verbs (in the past tense).\n\nshare|improve this answer\n\"Good-looking\" is not a noun but an adjective. \u2013\u00a0 fdb Aug 30 '14 at 0:51\n@fdb: Yes, the combined word \"goodlooking\" is an adjective. But individually, looking is still the noun, and good is the adjective. \u2013\u00a0 Tom Au Aug 30 '14 at 2:12\nIn this context \"looking\" is the present participle of the verb \"to look\", i.e., an adjective. \u2013\u00a0 fdb Aug 30 '14 at 2:16\n\nYour Answer\n\n\n<|endoftext|>Polish Historians Publish Detailed List of Auschwitz Nazi Guards\n\nMost of the 8,500 entries, available online, include each guard's date of birth, nationality, military service and party affiliation.\n\nA 1944 photo of SS officers outside of Auschwitz, Poland.

Remember my definition of why clutter exists in the first place?\n\nclutter, declutterer, de-clutterer, professional organiser, organising clothes\n\nTherefore - in order to DEclutter, we need to address the decision AND action parts to make progress.\n\n#1 Have a vision\n\nClearly define your end goal and desired result, so that you can go back to that vision to refocus and boost your motivation to push on. What are you trying to achieve by decluttering? Reduce stress, create more space, save time and energy spent looking for things, improve your performance and efficiency at work? Without knowing WHY you are doing this, it can quickly start to feel too much like hard work.\n\n#2 Have a plan\n\nAs with most things in life, before you jump in to a decluttering project you need to have a plan. Decide what, where and when you are decluttering, and only work on ONE area at a time. Dedicate some time to decluttering in your schedule, otherwise it will always slip to the bottom of the To Do list and never get done.\n\n#3 Prepare for the task at hand\n\nIf your floor is covered in clothes, or your desk covered in papers, clear the area first without sorting. Place all the stuff in a big bag or box, and then clean the surface below.

So if they don't get locked up, someone will probably frag em.\n\n 3) The soldiers may not even survive childhood without fear. Even if they do, they won't survive battle training.\n e.g. Sarge yelling: \"For the last time @#$@%!$.

The very idea that letting a gay person in would so traumatize all the soldiers that the army would be completely ineffective is just the most bizzare homophobia I've ever seen. Never mind the direct counter-evidence available in just about every other NATO military organization outside the U.S. Yeah, I think the military needs this research to help our military personel get over their intense fear of gay guys.\n<|endoftext|>I'm a big fan of autobiographies by mega-entrepreneurs such as Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Bill Gates, Starbucks' (NASDAQ:SBUX) Howard Schultz, and Dell's (NASDAQ:DELL) Michael Dell. There is a lot to learn about these men with household names.\n\nBut let's not forget the mega-entrepreneurs who have remained fairly obscure -- like Dr. J. Robert Beyster, the mastermind of technical services provider SAIC (NYSE:SAI). The good news is that he has recently published his own story, The SAIC Solution: How We Built an $8 Billion Employee-Owned Technology Company.\n\nWith his high-caliber mind, Beyster\u00a0earned bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in engineering and physics from the University of Michigan. In the 1950s, he was a physicist at the Los Alamos National Scientific Laboratory and then moved to General Atomics. He even cowrote a book called Slow Neutron Scattering and Thermalization (I'm not sure what that means either).\n\nBut in 1969, he wanted to start his own gig and took on a variety of research projects for the federal government. He invested $50,000 in the venture that became SAIC and was able to reap a profit of $20,000 during the first year of business. The growth continued year after year, and there was never an unprofitable year. In 2006, the company hit nearly $8 billion in revenues and even pulled off a $1 billion IPO.\n\nBeyster believes the key to his success was in hiring the right people. He wanted people who were technical experts, could sell complex solutions, and had strong management skills. Realizing how tough it is to attract and retain such people, he implemented a widespread equity sharing plan. \"What I found interesting, however, was that the more I diluted my ownership holdings, the faster the company and its stock price grew,\" writes Beyster. By the 1990s, his ownership stake was less than 2% of SAIC's outstanding shares.\n\nAs a sign of its commitment to employee ownership, SAIC established Bull Inc. in 1973. A registered broker dealer, the platform was an internal market for employees to buy and sell shares of SAIC, a.k.a. Science Applications International Corporation.\n\nWith lots of talented employees, Beyster knew he had to use innovative management techniques as well. He allowed a tremendous amount of autonomy on projects. He would permit a piece of business to proceed\u00a0even if it was small as long as there was some profitability. As the project grew in scope, he often would set up a small office near the customer. The result was more responsiveness and a better understanding of customer needs.\n\nTrue, Beyster had the advantage of starting SAIC when the Pentagon was on a spending spree because of the Cold War and the Vietnam War. He knew it would not last forever and started to branch out into other categories. A key part of his strategy was pursuing mergers\u00a0and acquisitions (M&A).\n\nThe most stellar deal was the $4.5 million acquisition of Network Solutions in 1994. His goal was to grab a share of telecom business and pick up clients like AT&T (NYSE:T).\n\nNetwork Solutions also managed the registry for Internet domain names. As the market surged, so did the value of the company. With SAIC as its largest shareholder, Network Solutions went public in 1997, raising $67 million. It raised $779 million in a follow-on offering in 1999 and raised another $2.3 billion in 2000. Then a few months later, Network Solutions sold out to VeriSign (NASDAQ:VRSN) for $19.6 billion (who said M&A is a bad thing?).\n\nIn just 209 pages,\u00a0Beyster provides many useful lessons for entrepreneurs and managers. He writes, \"I always felt strongly that it was SAIC's duty to provide its customers with the very best and highest-quality services -- at a fair price and reasonable profit.

But the movie faded quickly all at once today. And now I stand alone with the charges made,no where to run, not a place to hide. We`re sad little children playing grown-up games. Guess the time has come, the damage has been done. Stray dogs that live on the highway, walk on three legs. Cause they learn too slow to get the message. Just like the indians in the early days. Battles lost and won, yet it still goes on. It`s just another ballad for soldier. I had no understanding 'til I saw my mother cry,when they told how many babies I had killed that night. A dozen color photographs inside of a magazine, told the morbid story like a movie screen. But I was not the hero I thought myself to be, movies are much different than reality. The general was convicted to get off of the hook, but the President might free me for the chance I took. And we all stand alone when the charge is made, sad way to live, what a way to die. We're all little children playing grown-up games, can we burn the gun before the next time comes. Stray dogs that live on the highway walk on three legs, they move too slow to get the message. Give up and win, that's all I have to say, we haven't really won 'til all the fightin's done, and there are no more ballads for the soldiers.\n\n\n\"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as they do when they do it from religious conviction.\"\n--Blaise Pascal (1670)\n\n(Written 9/11/06) The religious right make a big conservative play that their position vis.

But legality and morality, and truth and justice, are not equivalent concepts.\n\nThe first rule of leadership in the military is that a commander never asks a soldier to do something that he personally would not do.

At this point, any testimony from KSM would be welcomed--even if it were ill-gotten.\n\nBut the article justifies keeping KSM out of court, claiming analogies to the practice of proxy testimony by referring to the Yugoslavia war crimes tribunal (ICTY), and its use of voice- and image-altering devices, so as not to \"compromi(se) the right of defendents to face their accusers.\"\n\nMaybe I'm missing something, but isn't this arguing for the very right the administration is trying to withhold--the \"right of defendents to face their accusers\", even if their countenances must be obscured?

It is just as well that his column is entitled \"Wonderland", "base_doc": " guns, and I dreamed of the day I'd become a soldier, and kill all of the enemy, my country`tis of thee. I sing this anthem sadly, won't you hear me. I watched the cannons blazing, on the giant silver screen. The swastikas were burning and the hero was me. The general gave the order, gladly I obeyed. But the movie faded quickly all at once today. And now I stand alone with the charges made,no where to run, not a place to hide. We`re sad little children playing grown-up games. Guess the time has come, the damage has been done. Stray dogs that live on the highway, walk on three legs. Cause they learn too slow to get the message. Just like the indians in the early days. Battles lost and won, yet it still goes on. It`s just another ballad for soldier. I had no understanding 'til I saw my mother cry,when they told how many babies I had killed that night. A dozen color photographs inside of a magazine, told the morbid story like a movie screen. But I was not the hero I thought myself to be, movies are much different than reality. The general was convicted to get off of the hook, but the President might free me for the chance I took. And we all stand alone when the charge is made, sad way to live, what a way to die. We're all little children playing grown-up games, can we burn the gun before the next time comes. Stray dogs that live on the highway walk on three legs, they move too slow to get the message. Give up and win, that's all I have to say, we haven't really won 'til all the fightin's done, and there are no more ballads for the soldiers.\n\n\n\"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as they do when they do it from religious conviction.\"\n--Blaise Pascal (1670)\n\n(Written 9/11/06) The religious right make a big conservative play that their position vis. Iraq is legitimate, and also reflects Christian values. But legality and morality, and truth and justice, are not equivalent concepts.\n\nThe first rule of leadership in the military is that a commander never asks a soldier to do something that he personally would not do.

If you type \"gif,\" then a search bar with a bunch of gif options instantly appears, and you can easily post a funny cat gif for your friends.\n\nIn addition, taking a page from the long-forgotten \"poke\" feature on Facebook, Peach lets you send fun things to friends, like a piece of (digital) cake. You can also draw your own pictures on the screen.\n\n\"People are having fun with it,\" said CNET's Bridget Carey.\n\n\"One of the things that also makes it appealing, I think, especially to younger people, is that there aren't instructions to this thing. There are some hidden, secret things you can add if you know the right keywords. So when you're sending something you have to hit 'H' for 'here' - here's my location. Or hit a 'D' for 'drawing.' It's the kind of thing where you feel like you're in the know if you know the code,\" she said.\n\nOf course, given short social media attention spans, there is no guarantee that Peach will have any staying power.

If you type \"gif,\" then a search bar with a bunch of gif options instantly appears, and you can easily post a funny cat gif for your friends.\n\nIn addition, taking a page from the long-forgotten \"poke\" feature on Facebook, Peach lets you send fun things to friends, like a piece of (digital) cake. You can also draw your own pictures on the screen.\n\n\"People are having fun with it,\" said CNET's Bridget Carey.\n\n\"One of the things that also makes it appealing, I think, especially to younger people, is that there aren't instructions to this thing. There are some hidden, secret things you can add if you know the right keywords. So when you're sending something you have to hit 'H' for 'here' - here's my location. Or hit a 'D' for 'drawing.' It's the kind of thing where you feel like you're in the know if you know the code,\" she said.\n\nOf course, given short social media attention spans, there is no guarantee that Peach will have any staying power. For those who want to give it a try, it's currently available for free on the iTunes App Store.\n\n \u2022 Brian Mastroianni On Twitter\u00bb\n\n Brian Mastroianni covers science and technology for<|endoftext|>Covid-19 lockdown side effects are suppressed!

Remove the 20 best days and the $10,000 was worth just shy of $11,500.\n\nAs smart as it is to take a patient, long-term perspective that doesn't try to time market swings, buy-and-hold investors might be taking on too much risk right now.\n\nIf you haven't checked your overall mix of stocks and bonds, chances are you currently have more riding on stocks than you intended. That's because stocks have been on a crazy-strong rally, and bonds have been plodding along, as designed.\n\nFor example, let's say that your goal is to have 60% invested in stocks and 40% in a core U.S. bond fund. If you started with 60/40 a year ago, in late September that mix had shifted to 68% stocks and 32% bonds.\n\nIf you haven't touched a thing for five years, a 60/40 mix is now around 75% stocks and 25% bonds.\n\nA portfolio that 10 years ago started with a 60/40 mix would now be 85% invested in stocks and 15% in bonds, as during that stretch U.S. stocks gained more than 375% and core bonds gained 34%.\n\nWithout debating which stock market gauge is best, there is little debate that U.S. stocks aren't exactly cheap right now. There's no telling when a correction (loss of 10% to 20%) or bear market (loss of 20%+) might strike, but a retreat wouldn't exactly be surprising given the recent tear.\n\nSince the March 2020 low in the COVID bear market, U.S. stocks have more than doubled.\n\nThat makes it extra timely to consider checking your investment portfolios to make sure they have the appropriate mix of stocks and bonds.\n\nMoreover, take a step back and think through if your long-term asset allocation strategy still makes sense. Maybe you settled on a 70/30 or 80/20 mix when you were 35. But now you're 55 or 60. Do you still want to own as much in stocks? Maybe the 80/20 mix is ratcheted to 70/30. Or the 70/30 to 60/40.\n\nTo be clear, there's no single right answer. If you have a pension, and all your living costs can be covered by that and your Social Security benefits, you might want to keep a hefty chunk in stocks as part of legacy planning. That can make sense given you aren't depending on your stock portfolio to cover basic living costs.\n\nIf you find your current mix of stocks and bonds is a bit out of whack, you have a few options for getting things back to your preferred asset allocation mix of stocks and bonds.\n\nIf your money is invested in a workplace retirement fund or an individual retirement account (IRA) you can easily - with a few clicks in your online account - move money out of your stock fund(s) and into bonds.\n\nExchanging shares within a retirement account does not trigger any tax bill. Side note for 401(k) investors: Check if your plan offers a free service that automatically does this rebalancing for you, based on your target mix. Plenty do.\n\nIf your investments are in a regular taxable account, you need to consider the taxes you will owe with rebalancing. When you move money from one fund or exchange-traded fund to another, that is considered a sale, even if you immediately reinvest the money in another fund. Gains on that sale are subject to tax.\n\nRate.com covers the worlds of personal finance and residential real estate.<|endoftext|>William yelled at Jason when _ told them how much they charged to the credit card.\nOption 1: William\nOption 2: Jason\nAnswer: 2<|endoftext|>PT Journal AU Wu, Y Waite, LL Jackson, AU Sheu, WH Buyske, S Absher, D Arnett, DK Boerwinkle, E Bonnycastle, LL Carty, CL Cheng, I Cochran, B Croteau-Chonka, DC Dumitrescu, L Eaton, CB Franceschini, N Guo, X Henderson, BE Hindorff, LA Kim, E Kinnunen, L Komulainen, P Lee, W Le Marchand, L Lin, Y Lindstrom, J Lingaas-Holmen, O Mitchell, SL Narisu, N Robinson, JG Schumacher, F Stancakova, A Sundvall, J Sung, Y Swift, AJ Wang, W Wilkens, L Wilsgaard, T Young, AM Adair, LS Ballantyne, CM Buzkova, P Chakravarti, A Collins, FS Duggan, D Feranil, AB Ho, L Hung, Y Hunt, SC Hveem, K Juang, JJ Kesaniemi, AY Kuusisto, J Laakso, M Lakka, TA Lee, I Leppert, MF Matise, TC Moilanen, L Njolstad, I Peters, U Quertermous, T Rauramaa, R Rotter, JI Saramies, J Tuomilehto, J Uusitupa, M Wang, T Boehnke, M Haiman, CA Chen, YI Kooperberg, C Assimes, TL Crawford, DC Hsiung, CA North, KE Mohlke, KL TI Trans-ethnic fine-mapping of lipid loci identifies population-specific signals and allelic heterogeneity that increases the trait variance explained SO PLoS Genetics JI PLoS Genet PY 2013 BP e1003379 VL 9 IS 3 DI 10.1371/journal.pgen.1003379 LA English DE African Americans/genetics; Apolipoproteins A/*genetics; Cholesterol; HDL/blood/genetics; LDL/blood/genetics; European Continental Ancestry Group/genetics; *Genome-Wide Association Study; Humans; Lipoproteins; Proprotein Convertases/*genetics; Serine Endopeptidases/*genetics; Triglycerides/blood/genetics AB Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified ~100 loci associated with blood lipid levels, but much of the trait heritability remains unexplained, and at most loci the identities of the trait-influencing variants remain unknown. We conducted a trans-ethnic fine-mapping study at 18, 22, and 18 GWAS loci on the Metabochip for their association with triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), respectively, in individuals of African American (n = 6,832), East Asian (n = 9,449), and European (n = 10,829) ancestry. We aimed to identify the variants with strongest association at each locus, identify additional and population-specific signals, refine association signals, and assess the relative significance of previously described functional variants. Among the 58 loci, 33 exhibited evidence of association at P<1 x 10(-4) in at least one ancestry group. Sequential conditional analyses revealed that ten, nine, and four loci in African Americans, Europeans, and East Asians, respectively, exhibited two or more signals. At these loci, accounting for all signals led to a 1.3- to 1.8-fold increase in the explained phenotypic variance compared to the strongest signals. Distinct signals across ancestry groups were identified at PCSK9 and APOA5. Trans-ethnic analyses narrowed the signals to smaller sets of variants at GCKR, PPP1R3B, ABO, LCAT, and ABCA1. Of 27 variants reported previously to have functional effects, 74% exhibited the strongest association at the respective signal. In conclusion, trans-ethnic high-density genotyping and analysis confirm the presence of allelic heterogeneity, allow the identification of population-specific variants, and limit the number of candidate SNPs for functional studies.

It will be extremely annoying to write a good essay, but to spoil the impression of yourself by making an inattentive mistake.\n\nRelated Resources:\n\nWhat style an essay should be written in<|endoftext|>If you long ago adopted a buy-and-hold strategy, you did your retirement the biggest of favors.\n\nIn the 20 years through 2020, $10,000 invested in the S&P 500 stock index grew to more than $42,000.\n\nAspiring market-timers beware: If the 10 best days for the index are subtracted \u2014 just 10 days out of 20 years of trading \u2014 the $10,000 doesn't even double. Remove the 20 best days and the $10,000 was worth just shy of $11,500.\n\nAs smart as it is to take a patient, long-term perspective that doesn't try to time market swings, buy-and-hold investors might be taking on too much risk right now.\n\nIf you haven't checked your overall mix of stocks and bonds, chances are you currently have more riding on stocks than you intended. That's because stocks have been on a crazy-strong rally, and bonds have been plodding along, as designed.\n\nFor example, let's say that your goal is to have 60% invested in stocks and 40% in a core U.S. bond fund. If you started with 60/40 a year ago, in late September that mix had shifted to 68% stocks and 32% bonds.\n\nIf you haven't touched a thing for five years, a 60/40 mix is now around 75% stocks and 25% bonds.\n\nA portfolio that 10 years ago started with a 60/40 mix would now be 85% invested in stocks and 15% in bonds, as during that stretch U.S. stocks gained more than 375% and core bonds gained 34%.\n\nWithout debating which stock market gauge is best, there is little debate that U.S. stocks aren't exactly cheap right now. There's no telling when a correction (loss of 10% to 20%) or bear market (loss of 20%+) might strike, but a retreat wouldn't exactly be surprising given the recent tear.\n\nSince the March 2020 low in the COVID bear market, U.S. stocks have more than doubled.\n\nThat makes it extra timely to consider checking your investment portfolios to make sure they have the appropriate mix of stocks and bonds.\n\nMoreover, take a step back and think through if your long-term asset allocation strategy still makes sense. Maybe you settled on a 70/30 or 80/20 mix when you were 35. But now you're 55 or 60. Do you still want to own as much in stocks? Maybe the 80/20 mix is ratcheted to 70/30. Or the 70/30 to 60/40.\n\nTo be clear, there's no single right answer. If you have a pension, and all your living costs can be covered by that and your Social Security benefits, you might want to keep a hefty chunk in stocks as part of legacy planning. That can make sense given you aren't depending on your stock portfolio to cover basic living costs.\n\nIf you find your current mix of stocks and bonds is a bit out of whack, you have a few options for getting things back to your preferred asset allocation mix of stocks and bonds.\n\nIf your money is invested in a workplace retirement fund or an individual retirement account (IRA) you can easily - with a few clicks in your online account - move money out of your stock fund(s) and into bonds.\n\nExchanging shares within a retirement account does not trigger any tax bill. Side note for 401(k) investors: Check if your plan offers a free service that automatically does this rebalancing for you, based on your target mix. Plenty do.\n\nIf your investments are in a regular taxable account, you need to consider the taxes you will owe with rebalancing. When you move money from one fund or exchange-traded fund to another, that is considered a sale, even if you immediately reinvest the money in another fund. Gains on that sale are subject to tax.\n\nRate.com covers the worlds of personal finance and residential real estate.<|endoftext|>PT Journal AU Wu, Y Waite, LL Jackson, AU Sheu, WH Buyske, S Absher, D Arnett, DK Boerwinkle, E Bonnycastle, LL Carty, CL Cheng, I Cochran, B Croteau-Chonka, DC Dumitrescu, L Eaton, CB Franceschini, N Guo, X Henderson, BE Hindorff, LA Kim, E Kinnunen, L Komulainen, P Lee, W Le Marchand, L Lin, Y Lindstrom, J Lingaas-Holmen, O Mitchell, SL Narisu, N Robinson, JG Schumacher, F Stancakova, A Sundvall, J Sung, Y Swift, AJ Wang, W Wilkens, L Wilsgaard, T Young, AM Adair, LS Ballantyne, CM Buzkova, P Chakravarti, A Collins, FS Duggan, D Feranil, AB Ho, L Hung, Y Hunt, SC Hveem, K Juang, JJ Kesaniemi, AY Kuusisto, J Laakso, M Lakka, TA Lee, I Leppert, MF Matise, TC Moilanen, L Njolstad, I Peters, U Quertermous, T Rauramaa, R Rotter, JI Saramies, J Tuomilehto, J Uusitupa, M Wang, T Boehnke, M Haiman, CA Chen, YI Kooperberg, C Assimes, TL Crawford, DC Hsiung, CA North, KE Mohlke, KL TI Trans-ethnic fine-mapping of lipid loci identifies population-specific signals and allelic heterogeneity that increases the trait variance explained SO PLoS Genetics JI PLoS Genet PY 2013 BP e1003379 VL 9 IS 3 DI 10.1371/journal.pgen.1003379 LA English DE African Americans/genetics; Apolipoproteins A/*genetics; Cholesterol; HDL/blood/genetics; LDL/blood/genetics; European Continental Ancestry Group/genetics; *Genome-Wide Association Study; Humans; Lipoproteins; Proprotein Convertases/*genetics; Serine Endopeptidases/*genetics; Triglycerides/blood/genetics AB Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified ~100 loci associated with blood lipid levels, but much of the trait heritability remains unexplained, and at most loci the identities of the trait-influencing variants remain unknown. We conducted a trans-ethnic fine-mapping study at 18, 22, and 18 GWAS loci on the Metabochip for their association with triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), respectively, in individuals of African American (n = 6,832), East Asian (n = 9,449), and European (n = 10,829) ancestry. We aimed to identify the variants with strongest association at each locus, identify additional and population-specific signals, refine association signals, and assess the relative significance of previously described functional variants. Among the 58 loci, 33 exhibited evidence of association at P<1 x 10(-4) in at least one ancestry group. Sequential conditional analyses revealed that ten, nine, and four loci in African Americans, Europeans, and East Asians, respectively, exhibited two or more signals. At these loci, accounting for all signals led to a 1.3- to 1.8-fold increase in the explained phenotypic variance compared to the strongest signals. Distinct signals across ancestry groups were identified at PCSK9 and APOA5. Trans-ethnic analyses narrowed the signals to smaller sets of variants at GCKR, PPP1R3B, ABO, LCAT, and ABCA1. Of 27 variants reported previously to have functional effects, 74% exhibited the strongest association at the respective signal. In conclusion, trans-ethnic high-density genotyping and analysis confirm the presence of allelic heterogeneity, allow the identification of population-specific variants, and limit the number of candidate SNPs for functional studies.

But what is really remarkable in Madrid is the private housing. A private apartment might be more spacious and luxurious than EMVS's, and will probably cost four times as much, but the buildings themselves are uniformly the type of bland, monotonous, risk-averse, profit-led construction that gives rise to soulless neighbourhoods so familiar in this country.\n\nAn exhibition of Madrid's public housing opens at Riba in London later this month, where the mayor of Madrid is due to meet Ken Livingstone and other British representatives. They should have plenty to discuss. Why, for example, couldn't such a project happen here? The situation may not be entirely bleak for housing design in the UK, but few Britons could look around their built environment and see anything to compare to Madrid's innovations, despite the fact that we have an architectural community clearly capable of providing it.\n\nThe nearest equivalent is probably John Prescott's much-trumpeted \u00a360k housing initiative, which challenges architects and developers to build \"quality\" energy-efficient homes for less than \u00a360,000 each. But, says Tim Evans, Sheppard Robson's creative director, by prioritising the cost over the architecture, and by including volume house-builders like Wimpey and Barratt, genuine innovation has been difficult to achieve.\n\nIn a wider context, EMVS's projects arguably bring architecture closer to \"the people\" than a new art gallery or museum in the centre of town. These are the types of suburban locations where, say, the cleaners of those art galleries and museums (and architect-designed hotels) might be able to afford an apartment.

Although what Steve Sisolak is doing right now... he is sending out all these endorsements, including this morning law enforcement endorsements, trying to dissuade her from getting into the race, essentially saying 'I have all the institutional support locked up. Don't get in.'\n\nI don't think that is going to deter Chris Giunchigliani unless people she trusts tell her that she can't win.\n\nOn who the Culinary Union will support:\n\nThe Culinary Union has been on the sidelines so far. They had that massive political operation last cycle. The question is whether they're going to be able to replicate that this time and what they'll do with it.\u00a0\n\nIt is going to be tough for them. There is going to be a lot of pressure on them to get involved if there is that primary, but so far they've been pretty mum.\n\nSupport comes from\n\nOn the race for governor - Republican:\n\nThe entire conservative base is behind [Adam Laxalt] and even though he is a newcomer. He hasn't even lived in Nevada that long. He was born here and then essentially left for most of his life and came back five or six years ago.\n\nHe's done... [a]\u00a0remarkable thing which is he's cleared the field. Both Dean Heller and Mark Hutchison, the lieutenant governor who is retiring, wanted to run for governor but were essentially scared out of the race by Laxalt because he has done such a masterful job of courting the conservative base.\n\nAll Dan Schwartz has is a kind of a rock-throwing, I'm-an-outsider, I-don't-like-lobbyists, Adam-Laxalt-is-owned-by-the-special-interests kind of campaign.\n\nNo one I know thinks Dan Schwartz can win that race. I think it is a very, very uphill struggle for him.\u00a0\n\nOn who \"Brian Sandoval Republicans\" might like in this race:\n\nMaybe they would like term limits to be lifted so Brian Sandoval could run again. They are going to be for a Republican governor. They are going to like Laxalt a lot more than Schwartz because he's more of an establishment Republican.\u00a0\n\nSchwartz is kind of the honey badger of Nevada politics. He just doesn't care. So, he's just going to say whatever he needs to say. He's done a ton of media interviews. He's going to be very accessible. He's going to say, 'I was the canary in the coal mine... on Faraday,' which he turned out to be right about.\n\nOn the race for lieutenant governor - Michael Roberson:\n\nWho is Michael Roberson is a very good question, because he is a very different guy now than the guy who first ran six years ago when he was to the right of Adam Laxalt then suddenly he's the guy who is pushing the largest tax increase in Nevada history. And then suddenly in 2017, he's as far right as you can go.\u00a0\n\nRoberson is not to be underestimated... he's very ambitious.\n\nLieutenant governor is a joke. Lieutenant governor barely did anything before but most of the duties that did exist, such as economic development have been taken away by the governor.\u00a0\n\nLieutenant governor essentially exists to preside over the State Senate maybe break ties, which almost never happens. And do whatever else the governor lets you do.\n\nHe's running for lieutenant governor because he's ambitious. Nobody runs for lieutenant governor because they want to be lieutenant governor. They want to be governor. They want to be a U.S. senator. Roberson has always wanted to go to Washington. He's going to try to use it as a spring board should he be elected.\n\nOn the race for lieutenant governor - Kate Marshall:\n\nKate Marshall is relentlessly ambitious too. She's a two-term state treasurer. She ran in a special election against Mark Amodei in 2011 and got completely obliterated by Amodei. She has been essentially on the outs since then, trying to find a way back in.\u00a0\n\nShe wanted to run against Dean Heller for U.S. Senate but was essentially told by the powers that be - Harry Reid, who is still the leader of the powers that be - that Jacky Rosen was the choice.\n\nShe has thought about running for offices, but now she has alighted on lieutentant governor.\n\nSo, you have these two really aggressive ambitious people running on both sides of that race who will not be afraid to take each other on. So, even though it is a nothing job, it could be a fun race to watch.\n\nOn Danny Tarkanian:\n\nIt is easy to make fun of a guy who has run that many times and not been successful. He has won primaries though four out of the five times he's been on a primary ballot.\u00a0\n\nThe news is Dean Heller is in trouble. He's got terrible numbers. He was not a big Trump supporter. He's trying to suck up to Trump now by his votes on health care and what he's doing on health care. But a lot of Republicans hold him responsible for the Obamacare repeal failing because of the press conference he had with Gov. Sandoval, saying they would oppose efforts to gut Medicaid.\n\nTarkanian is pummeling him. [Tarkanian] already had favorable treatment in Breitbart, which is kind of the organ of the far right. Now, Steve Bannon, who is running Breitbart again, met with Tarkian last week, Politico reported. [Bannon] has apparently pledged this jihad against a lot of GOP senators, including Dean Heller.\u00a0\n\n[Bannon] is very close with a billionaire named Robert Mercer. If he can get Mercer to fund some of these PACs that Bannon wants to use to defeat incumbents then Tarkanian has a chance.\n\nI don't think Danny Tarkanian should be underestimated in a primary at all.\u00a0\n\n\nJon Ralston, founder, The Nevada Independent\n\nMore Stories\n\nKNPR's State of Nevada\nKNPR's State of Nevada\nKNPR's State of Nevada<|endoftext|>Jill & Michael", "base_doc": "\nBetween them, they achieve a sense of place that new residential areas around the world often lack. But what is really remarkable in Madrid is the private housing. A private apartment might be more spacious and luxurious than EMVS's, and will probably cost four times as much, but the buildings themselves are uniformly the type of bland, monotonous, risk-averse, profit-led construction that gives rise to soulless neighbourhoods so familiar in this country.\n\nAn exhibition of Madrid's public housing opens at Riba in London later this month, where the mayor of Madrid is due to meet Ken Livingstone and other British representatives. They should have plenty to discuss. Why, for example, couldn't such a project happen here? The situation may not be entirely bleak for housing design in the UK, but few Britons could look around their built environment and see anything to compare to Madrid's innovations, despite the fact that we have an architectural community clearly capable of providing it.\n\nThe nearest equivalent is probably John Prescott's much-trumpeted \u00a360k housing initiative, which challenges architects and developers to build \"quality\" energy-efficient homes for less than \u00a360,000 each. But, says Tim Evans, Sheppard Robson's creative director, by prioritising the cost over the architecture, and by including volume house-builders like Wimpey and Barratt, genuine innovation has been difficult to achieve.\n\nIn a wider context, EMVS's projects arguably bring architecture closer to \"the people\" than a new art gallery or museum in the centre of town. These are the types of suburban locations where, say, the cleaners of those art galleries and museums (and architect-designed hotels) might be able to afford an apartment. In turn, EMVS's work diffuses some of the social stigma attached to terms like \"social housing\" or \"low-cost housing\".\n\n\"We've had to go over to Madrid to build a significant sustainable housing development,\" says Evans. \"I really get the sense there's very little experimental housing on a large scale in the UK.

There is nothing to support this notion other than the desperate need to believe in it.\n\nIronically the enlightenment movement, who stands for rationality and scientific examination, requires some premises that all lean on a belief system.

This is as opposed to arguing that history is principally progressive and linear. But even if we agreed that factually, progress has occurred throughout history, it would be contingent, not fundamental. There is no reason to believe history is progressive by definition, no reason to assume that it is the natural and necessary order of things in the world.\n\nBut leaving hypothesis aside, observing history yet thinking in terms of progress is rather severely ignorant or extremely speciesist, since for the animals, things have only gotten worse. There is more suffering today than ever before in history, so if anything, the world is in decline in a linear direction. Even the progress argument itself is speciesist.\n\nAnd even regarding humans only (as some draw inspiration from human struggles for the cause of nonhumans), the historical progress narrative is misleadingly simplistic. Oppression systems aren\u2019t dissolved, they shape-shift and fit themselves to the current economic and social climate, and not uncommonly turn for the worse. Brief examples are the backlash of the 70\u2019s and 80\u2019s, new-conservatism, neoliberalism, the rise of mass consumerism, porn culture, the continuing gaps among race and class, followed by inventive new forms of oppression such as mass incarceration, the war on drugs, privatization, and the surveillance state. Many of these trends are interlinked with technological advances, widening and deepening existing oppressions. For example, today there are more slaves than ever before in history. This modern global system of human bondage is known to all, yet it hardly bothers those in the \u201caffluence society\u201d that are responsible for it.\n\nSince the most horrific turn for the worst, both in terms of the extent of the exploitation, and the depth of the invasion into the bodies and minds of the victims, was done to nonhumans, asking the victims to hold on, assuming the goodness is bound to overcome, is grotesque.\n\nWhy is it so self-evident that humans should get to decide whether to keep abusing or not?\nThis is not about the intrinsically unfair and unjust power balance between humans and animals in itself. Obviously we would compromise on it, if there was a way not only to make all humans vegans, and make veganism non-violent, but also to make sure it would stay as such forever.\nSo far we have accomplished less than 2% of the first mission which is also the only one which is theoretically possible.\n\nTheoretically Impossible\n\nThe saddest thing about the non-violence approach is that it is impossible even theoretically.\nEverything in life is on someone else\u2019s expense.

What else can explain the constant use of nonviolence as a relevant term while the most violent one-sided assault in the history of this planet is raging?\n\nAll the activists are aware of the fact that much more violence is inflicted in factory farms than the violence that would be required to overthrow the human tyrants. So why asking more than 150 billion victims per year to hold on until about 7 billion humans are convinced?\nAnd how letting more than 150 billion victims per year wait, is less violent than looking for ways to eradicate 7 billion?\n\nEven among the best humans, who are a small minority with the best intentions and willingness to challenge society, human privileges remain invisible (and as you know, the most dangerous and frustrating thing about invisible privileges is their denial). We are not na\u00efve, we don\u2019t expect that by pointing out the privileges they would be acknowledged.

I find it amazing how many efforts are required to point something so simple. It\u2019s right in front everyone\u2019s eyes but they choose not to see.\n\n Such an unbelievable hypocrisy of all those who say that for them animal and humans lives are equal.\n Saying leafleting against the animal holocaust is non violence is like saying war is peace, freedom is slavery and ignorance is strength.\n\n 2. I don\u2019t understand why an activist who -as you wrote yourself- obviously can\u2019t kill a carnnist who wasn\u2019t convinced by the activist arguments is anyway violent and speciesist?\n\n 3. The point of the post wasn\u2019t that activists are violent and speciesist because they don\u2019t kill meat eaters, but that they are because don\u2019t think they ought to.\n We are not arguing that if you practically don\u2019t kill every human who just wasn\u2019t convinced by your arguments you are a speciesist, we are arguing that if you theoretically don\u2019t think you must kill every human who just wasn\u2019t convinced by your arguments you are a speciesist.\n\n Activists who oppose killing non-vegans for non-practical reasons are violent and speciesists by letting non-vegans inflict much more violence on much more sentients.\n Activists who oppose killing non-vegans for practical reasons are violent and speciesist, because they let this violent and speciesist world continue by not looking for ways to end it such as the NON-sporadic killing option that we truly suggest \u2013 http://onlyonesolution.org/faq/what_can_i_do.html\n\n Ruling out options that activists find impractical doesn\u2019t prove that choosing advocacy isn\u2019t really violent and speciesist. Examining all the options that come to mind first, and choosing advocacy only after ruling them out, would prove it wasn\u2019t speciesism that caused activists to choose it over the other options.\n But we don\u2019t think that activists can honestly say that they have covered all the options they can think of, ruled out the ones they think are impractical and were left with advocacy. Unfortunately advocacy is the first and obvious tendency and also the last sort of action.\n\n Stopping all the suffering is what should be our goal and thinking how we can do that is where we must start, not from advocacy which is an extreme compromise on the animals\u2019 expense. You are supposed to start from the best option, and only after it turns out to be irrelevant should you turn to such an extreme compromise as a world with as many vegans as possible.\n\n So in light of the option of killing all humans and by that ending for good the most violent oppressing system ever in history, we argue that compromising on animals\u2019 expense is violent and speciesist. This was our argument. A non-violent and non-speciesist approach should lead you to first consider the best option for the animals which is a sufferingless world and not a vegan one, let alone a world with some more vegans which is what would be accomplished with advocacy.\n\nLeave a Reply\n\n<|endoftext|>Grace hooked the dogs up to the sled with cording instead of rope, because the _ was sturdy.\nOption 1: rope\nOption 2: cording\nAnswer: 2<|endoftext|>Public Records, Background Records Check\n\nUsa Background Check Kansas State Police Criminal\n\nHow to do a background check", "base_doc": "the good\u201d will overcome.

The order met with a rather untimely demise at the hands of the Pope and the King of France in 1307 and by 1314, 'The Poor Fellow Soldiers of Christ and the Temple of Solomon' ceased to exist.\n\nAlthough originally a small group of nine knights, they quickly gained fame largely due to the backing of Bernard of Clairvaux and his In Praise of the New Knighthood. Bernard at that time was often called the Second Pope and was the chief spokesman of Christendom. He is also the one responsible for helping to draw up the order's rules of conduct.\n\nIn European political circles, they became very powerful and influential. This was because they were immune from any authority save that of the Papal Throne. (Pope Innocent II exempted the Templars from all authority except the Pope.)\n\nAfter the crusades were over, the knights returned to their Chapters throughout Europe and became known as moneylenders to the monarchs. In the process many historians believe they invented the Banking System. The Templars fought along side King Richard I (Richard The Lion Heart) and other Crusaders in the battles for the Holy Lands.\n\nThe secret meetings and rituals of the knights would eventually cause their downfall. The King of France, Philip the Fair, used these rituals and meetings to his advantage to destroy the knights. The real reason for his crushing the Templars was that he felt threatened by their power and immunity. In 1307, Philip, who desperately needed funds, to support his war against England's Edward I made his move against the Knights Templar.\n\nOn October 13th, 1307, King Philip had all the Templars arrested on the grounds of heresy, since this was the only charge that would allow the seizing of their money and assets. The Templars were tortured and\nas a result, ridiculous confessions were given. These confessions included:\n\n- Trampling and spitting on the Cross\n- Homosexuality and sodomy\n- Worshipping of the 'Baphomet'.\n\nPhilip was successful in ridding the Templars of their power and wealth and urged all fellow Christian leaders to do the same thing. On March 19th, 1314 the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar, Jacques de Molay was burned at the stake. De Molay is said to have cursed King Philip and Pope Clement as he burned asking both men to join him within a year. Whether he actually uttered the curse or if it is simply an apocryphal tale what remains as fact is that Clement died only one month later and Philip IV seven months after that.\n\nThe Hidden Treasures\n\n\nThe meetings are still held in secret. Apart from fiercely guarded rituals and traditions, it would seem that there are few mysteries surrounding the order. But one question remains \u2013 why did the Parisian Templars not fight when arrested by Philip\u2019s men? In the days leading to their capture, a heavily-laden cart was supposedly removed from their buildings. Philip never found all the riches in their offices\n\n\n\n\nThe citizens of Paris awoke one morning in 1622 to find that their city had been ornamented with posters which the Brethren of the Rosy Cross (Rosicrucians) had scattered to announce that their secret order was now moving among the Parisians to save them from the error of death. In the seventeenth century, the Rosicrucians were rumoured to have accomplished the transmutation of metals, the means of prolonging life, the knowledge to see and to hear what was occurring in distant places, and the ability to detect secret and hidden objects.\n\n\nChristian Rosencreutz\n\nSuch announcements were met with great excitement. It was a time of reformation and enlightenment, and all of Europe was looking forward to the new world that the alchemists and magicians promised was about to emerge from the ashes of the old. And leading such a movement of a new appreciation of the arts and sciences and humankind\u2019s true place in the universe was the Illumined Father and Brother Christian Rosencreutz (1378\u20131484), a brilliant magus, who at the age of 16 had already gained secret wisdom teachings from the sages of Arabia and the Holy Land.\n\nWhen Rosencreutz returned to Germany circa 1450, he became a recluse, for he could see that Europe was not yet ready for the complete reformation which he so yearned to present to it. For one thing, he claimed to have acquired the fabled philosopher\u2019s stone, which enabled him to produce all the gold and precious gems necessary to allow him to build a house where he could live peacefully and well. To share the power of the legendary stone of transmutation with the unwise, the worldly, and the greedy would be disastrous. Quietly, Rosencreutz accepted only a handful of carefully evaluated students to whom he imparted the knowledge that he had acquired in ancient Egypt and the connection that he had made with the mystery schools and the esoteric teachings of great masters. He was particularly enthusiastic about telling his students about Pharaoh Amenhotep and the monotheistic view of one God. At first there were only three disciples in attendance; then later, eight brothers, including Rosencreutz himself, swore to uphold the following precepts:\n\n1. They would not profess any creed but the goal of healing the sick without reward;\n2. They would affect no particular style of clothing;\n3. They would meet once each year in the House of the Sainted Spirit;\n4. Each brother would carefully choose his own successor;\n5. The letters \u201cR.C.\u201d would serve as their only seal and character;\n6. The Brotherhood would remain secret for 100 years.\n\nWhen Rosencreutz died in 1484 at the age of 106, the five brethren who had been chosen to travel throughout Europe performing charitable deeds had established a reputation for being selfless benefactors. Although Rosencreutz had been buried in secret, one of the brothers happened by chance to discover his burial chamber and read the promise inscribed above the entrance that Rosencreutz would return in 126 years.\n\nThe discovery of the illu-mined father\u2019s prediction inspired the surviving brothers to work in earnest to spread the teachings of Christian Rosencreutz throughout the world. Between 1604 and 1616, three manifestos were released in Germany by the secret brotherhood of the Rosicrucians (from the Latin, Rosae Crucis, \u201cRose Cross\u201d). The first two pamphlets called upon the educated and influential to unite to bring about a reformation of the educational, moral, and scientific establishments of Europe. The German monk Martin Luther (1483\u20131546) had already set in motion a reformation in the spiritual sphere of life, the Rosicrucian Fraternity pointed out, but now it was time to educate the people of Europe to understand the true relationship of humankind to the universe and to perceive truly the distinctions between the material and the divine. The manifestos condemned all those who contributed to the moral decay of Europe, and the brotherhood promised to help alleviate all suffering and to eradicate all ignorance.\n\nThe Illumined Father Christian Rosencreutz possessed the wisdom and the wealth through the transmutation of base metals to elevate the common people of Europe. The manifestos also shared some startling assertions, among them:\n\n1. The end of the world was near, but those who had become enlightened by the new reformation would be initiated into a higher consciousness.\n2. New stars had appeared in the constellations of Cygnus and Serpentarius that predicted the destruction of the Roman Catholic Church.\n3. The Illumined Father divined the secret code that God placed in the universe in the beginning of time and blessed those who possess such magic.\n4. The transmutation of base metals into gold and precious gems is a natural miracle that has been revealed to such magi as Christian Rosencreutz. Forget about the efforts of the pseudo-chemists.\n5. The Rosicrucian Fellowship has wealth to distribute, but it does not wish a single coin from anyone.\n\nThe manifestos created great excitement in early seventeenth-century Europe. Royalty, common folk, merchants, mystics, alchemists\u2014 all clamored for more information about the mysterious secret brotherhood. Those who were ill wished healing. Those who were poor were eager to accept a portion of the wealth the brotherhood was willing to distribute.\n\nThose who were greedy wanted their turn with the philosopher\u2019s stone and their opportunity to transmute tons of base metals into tons of gold. And perhaps most of all, people wanted to join the secret society and become Rosicrucians, but no one knew where any of their lodges were or where they might find the House of the Sainted Spirit.\n\nDesperate individuals placed their letters of application for the fraternity in public places where they hoped the Rosicrucians might find them and contact them. It wasn\u2019t long before charlatans began posing as members of the secret fraternity and attempting to charge the gullible for admittance, but when the deceivers could not produce mounds of gold upon demand, the cro", "base_doc": " know it.

The King of France, Philip the Fair, used these rituals and meetings to his advantage to destroy the knights. The real reason for his crushing the Templars was that he felt threatened by their power and immunity. In 1307, Philip, who desperately needed funds, to support his war against England's Edward I made his move against the Knights Templar.\n\nOn October 13th, 1307, King Philip had all the Templars arrested on the grounds of heresy, since this was the only charge that would allow the seizing of their money and assets. The Templars were tortured and\nas a result, ridiculous confessions were given. These confessions included:\n\n- Trampling and spitting on the Cross\n- Homosexuality and sodomy\n- Worshipping of the 'Baphomet'.\n\nPhilip was successful in ridding the Templars of their power and wealth and urged all fellow Christian leaders to do the same thing. On March 19th, 1314 the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar, Jacques de Molay was burned at the stake. De Molay is said to have cursed King Philip and Pope Clement as he burned asking both men to join him within a year. Whether he actually uttered the curse or if it is simply an apocryphal tale what remains as fact is that Clement died only one month later and Philip IV seven months after that.\n\nThe Hidden Treasures\n\n\nThe meetings are still held in secret. Apart from fiercely guarded rituals and traditions, it would seem that there are few mysteries surrounding the order. But one question remains \u2013 why did the Parisian Templars not fight when arrested by Philip\u2019s men? In the days leading to their capture, a heavily-laden cart was supposedly removed from their buildings. Philip never found all the riches in their offices\n\n\n\n\nThe citizens of Paris awoke one morning in 1622 to find that their city had been ornamented with posters which the Brethren of the Rosy Cross (Rosicrucians) had scattered to announce that their secret order was now moving among the Parisians to save them from the error of death. In the seventeenth century, the Rosicrucians were rumoured to have accomplished the transmutation of metals, the means of prolonging life, the knowledge to see and to hear what was occurring in distant places, and the ability to detect secret and hidden objects.\n\n\nChristian Rosencreutz\n\nSuch announcements were met with great excitement. It was a time of reformation and enlightenment, and all of Europe was looking forward to the new world that the alchemists and magicians promised was about to emerge from the ashes of the old. And leading such a movement of a new appreciation of the arts and sciences and humankind\u2019s true place in the universe was the Illumined Father and Brother Christian Rosencreutz (1378\u20131484), a brilliant magus, who at the age of 16 had already gained secret wisdom teachings from the sages of Arabia and the Holy Land.\n\nWhen Rosencreutz returned to Germany circa 1450, he became a recluse, for he could see that Europe was not yet ready for the complete reformation which he so yearned to present to it. For one thing, he claimed to have acquired the fabled philosopher\u2019s stone, which enabled him to produce all the gold and precious gems necessary to allow him to build a house where he could live peacefully and well. To share the power of the legendary stone of transmutation with the unwise, the worldly, and the greedy would be disastrous. Quietly, Rosencreutz accepted only a handful of carefully evaluated students to whom he imparted the knowledge that he had acquired in ancient Egypt and the connection that he had made with the mystery schools and the esoteric teachings of great masters. He was particularly enthusiastic about telling his students about Pharaoh Amenhotep and the monotheistic view of one God. At first there were only three disciples in attendance; then later, eight brothers, including Rosencreutz himself, swore to uphold the following precepts:\n\n1. They would not profess any creed but the goal of healing the sick without reward;\n2. They would affect no particular style of clothing;\n3. They would meet once each year in the House of the Sainted Spirit;\n4. Each brother would carefully choose his own successor;\n5. The letters \u201cR.C.\u201d would serve as their only seal and character;\n6. The Brotherhood would remain secret for 100 years.\n\nWhen Rosencreutz died in 1484 at the age of 106, the five brethren who had been chosen to travel throughout Europe performing charitable deeds had established a reputation for being selfless benefactors. Although Rosencreutz had been buried in secret, one of the brothers happened by chance to discover his burial chamber and read the promise inscribed above the entrance that Rosencreutz would return in 126 years.\n\nThe discovery of the illu-mined father\u2019s prediction inspired the surviving brothers to work in earnest to spread the teachings of Christian Rosencreutz throughout the world. Between 1604 and 1616, three manifestos were released in Germany by the secret brotherhood of the Rosicrucians (from the Latin, Rosae Crucis, \u201cRose Cross\u201d). The first two pamphlets called upon the educated and influential to unite to bring about a reformation of the educational, moral, and scientific establishments of Europe. The German monk Martin Luther (1483\u20131546) had already set in motion a reformation in the spiritual sphere of life, the Rosicrucian Fraternity pointed out, but now it was time to educate the people of Europe to understand the true relationship of humankind to the universe and to perceive truly the distinctions between the material and the divine. The manifestos condemned all those who contributed to the moral decay of Europe, and the brotherhood promised to help alleviate all suffering and to eradicate all ignorance.\n\nThe Illumined Father Christian Rosencreutz possessed the wisdom and the wealth through the transmutation of base metals to elevate the common people of Europe. The manifestos also shared some startling assertions, among them:\n\n1. The end of the world was near, but those who had become enlightened by the new reformation would be initiated into a higher consciousness.\n2. New stars had appeared in the constellations of Cygnus and Serpentarius that predicted the destruction of the Roman Catholic Church.\n3. The Illumined Father divined the secret code that God placed in the universe in the beginning of time and blessed those who possess such magic.\n4. The transmutation of base metals into gold and precious gems is a natural miracle that has been revealed to such magi as Christian Rosencreutz. Forget about the efforts of the pseudo-chemists.\n5. The Rosicrucian Fellowship has wealth to distribute, but it does not wish a single coin from anyone.\n\nThe manifestos created great excitement in early seventeenth-century Europe. Royalty, common folk, merchants, mystics, alchemists\u2014 all clamored for more information about the mysterious secret brotherhood. Those who were ill wished healing. Those who were poor were eager to accept a portion of the wealth the brotherhood was willing to distribute.\n\nThose who were greedy wanted their turn with the philosopher\u2019s stone and their opportunity to transmute tons of base metals into tons of gold. And perhaps most of all, people wanted to join the secret society and become Rosicrucians, but no one knew where any of their lodges were or where they might find the House of the Sainted Spirit.\n\nDesperate individuals placed their letters of application for the fraternity in public places where they hoped the Rosicrucians might find them and contact them. It wasn\u2019t long before charlatans began posing as members of the secret fraternity and attempting to charge the gullible for admittance, but when the deceivers could not produce mounds of gold upon demand, the crooks were either imprisoned or pummeled. Nor had too much time passed before word spread among the religious that the Rosicrucians were satanists who sought only", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 466390, "pt_loc": 34717573, "pt_shuffle_idx": 75567491, "doc_index_f": 118456953, "doc_index_l": 118456953, "offset_f": 3240, "offset_l": 5288, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 35, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} -{"pt_doc": "Erin asked the children to quiet down, but Cynthia told them they didn't need to. _ didn't mind that it was so loud.\nOption 1: Erin\nOption 2: Cynthia\nAnswer: 2<|endoftext|> the triangle is not \"square\" because the angle is greater than 45 degrees. That means the height of the vertical \"leg\" of the triangle is greater than the horizontal one, which is 16 feet, and you have to keep in mind that the observer is 5 feet from the ground. Adding 5 feet to a \"leg\" that must be greater than 16 feet results in an answer that must be more than 21 feet. There was only one answer that fit that bill.\n\nI do take exception with question 15, though. I believe the correct answer is not available. I believe it should be 69, not 71. But, one can also cheat without cheating on that one. Every odd game (e.g., 1, 3, and 5) added 11 sales to the previous odd game after game 1. That means that game 7 should have 66 sales and game 8 must have more. However, the even games (2 and 4) each showed sales ending in 9--game 2 had 49, game 4 had 59. There is not a clear pattern that links the even games and odd games, so I was inclined to think that they must show separate patterns. Since 69 was not available, the next closest answer that might fit a pattern would have been 71. 71 would have been correct if game 2 showed 48 sales instead of 49 (of course, the graph was not marked finely enough, so it's possible that it was simply hard to distinguish 48 from 49).\n\nAs far as language barriers being an issue, I can see where literacy would be a problem. However, the key words in each of these problems appeared to be mathematical terms. A student that had learned the mathematical terms should be able to pick out the keys in MOST of these problems, but there were a few that appeared to be an issue for those with limited English language skills and/or literacy skills. However, if you are unable to read at the level of these math problems, and don't have a learning limitation that could provide an allowance on this test (as provided by MN law), then you've got other problems keeping you from graduating. Of course, there's the matter of identifying all students with learning limitations that affect reading skills...\n\nSo, is the GRAD math test an appropriate gate for ALL students? Probably not, especially if they're not taught how to think outside the box (or rectangular prism). I can also imagine that in districts with limited funds and/or areas where the students come from families with limited resources, students that have learning limitations that affect their ability to take the test for reasons other than math skill would definitely get the short end of the stick due to lack of identification.\n\nQuestion 19\n\nI note that the answer to question 19 has been changed. I had it correct the first time 'round, but the new answer would have resulted in me getting 3 wrong. However, I don't think the new answer is correct. Does anyone have a calculation that results in the new answer? My calculation would be 1/4 x 1/4 x 3/4.\n\nYour math includes just\n\nYour math includes just blue/blue/not-blue.

A fourth of students accepted to Minnesota four-year colleges had an ACT score of 18 or lower.\"\n\nThis test is definitely overkill.\n\nACT score of 18 or lower\n\nWhile it's possible it's overkill (I'm not sure who did the calculations to determine that passing is the equivalent of an ACT score of 22), looking at it the other way, is an ACT score of 18 being acceptable at universities really a good thing? And if it is, is the portion of students getting less than a score of 18 your average student or are they given some leeway due to learning difficulties? Really, for your average student, a score of 18 is not something to write home about. A score lower than 18 is not good. Keep in mind, because colleges have had to rely more and more on tuition, it is in their interests to accept more students, even if it means having lower standards. In fact, about a third of college students drop out after their first year and half never graduate. And, in fact, if you have to take \"catch up\" courses or can't handle the \"academic rigors\" of college, you're already on the road to college failure. (\n\nThat being said, as has been mentioned elsewhere by posters on MinnPost, not every high school graduate is or should be college-bound. There is little reason to expect them to all be ready and able to go to college. That doesn't mean, though, that the standard should necessarily be lowered. The average ACT math score is about 21. It should not be unreasonable to hope to hit an average ability that reflects this. IF the equivalent of passing this test is an ACT math score of 22 (really, I want to know how this was calculated), then we can expect at least half of all students to fail it. But it's somewhat less than that; not a lot, but somewhat. Kids take it in the 11th grade and have 3 chances to pass it. If students retake the ACT, they tend to get a higher score--sometimes much higher. So--are kids retaking the GRAD? If so, how do their scores change? In the end, how many fail all 3 times? Those are the kids we need to evaluate and identify why and how things might be adjusted to provide them with a more realistic goal or an alternative goal. I don't think that we should lower the standards so that the more advanced students are not challenged.\n\n\nWhich was a failing grade.

Not only does it remove food from between your teeth, but when done properly, it also removes plaque from the sides of your teeth. Plaque is the sticky film on your teeth that can be removed by tooth brushing and flossing. If not properly removed every 24 hours, the sticky plaque will harden into calculus (tartar). The only thing that will remove tartar is a dental hygienist with the proper tools. If your gums bleed or hurt when you brush, you are probably not flossing correctly. Tartar buildup causes inflammation to the gums. This inflammation only gets worse until the tartar is removed. The worsening inflammation can lead to periodontal disease and tooth loss.\u00a0\n\nProper Flossing Technique\n\n \u2022 Using 18-24 inches of floss, wind the majority around one middle finger and the rest around the other middle finger.\n \u2022 Slide the floss between the teeth, then curl the floss around the teeth to make a \"C\" shape.\u00a0\n \u2022 Slide the floss up and down the sides of each tooth carefully going under the gums.\u00a0\n \u2022 Wind the dirty part of the floss around the finger with the least amount of floss then repeat the steps between the next two teeth.\u00a0\n\nWhat is my favorite floss? Coco Floss. I accidentally discovered it on Facebook. Coco Floss is much thicker than regular floss. The hundreds of filaments scrub the plaque. Regular floss tends to be slippery and just moves the plaque around. The flat thin structure lacks the texture needed to capture plaque. Cocofloss is made with natural ingredients and microcrystalline vegan wax. Cocofloss is made with thoughtfully sourced ingredients. Bonus, it comes in fun flavors like strawberry, coconut, hibiscus, and orange! You can even order it on subscription. That will eliminate the old excuse of \"I ran out of floss and forgot to get more.\" So if you're wondering what your dental hygienist uses to floss, it's Coco Floss.<|endoftext|>Did you know?\n\n\n\n\u00a0-\u00a0definition\n\nWhat are red words?\n\n\n\n\n\nverb\u00a0call pronunciation in American English\u00a0/k\u0254l/\u00a0\nWord Forms\npresent tense\npresent participlecalling\npast tensecalled\npast participlecalled\n 1. 1\n [transitive] [often passive] to ask or tell someone to come to a place, usually so that you can talk to them\n call someone across/up/over/to etc.:\n\n She called me up to the office to explain the new policy.\n\n He called me over and gave me a talking-to.\n\n be called to a meeting/the telephone:\n\n He's been called to a meeting with the vice-president.\n\n be called before something:\n\n Robinson was called before the commission last week.\n\n 1. a.\n [transitive] to telephone a person or organization that provides a service and ask them to come\n\n Can you call a taxi for me?\n\n call the police/the fire department/an ambulance:\n\n Jack went to call an ambulance.\n\n Eventually the police were called.\n\n be called to something:\n\n Firefighters were called to a blaze at a school.\n\n 2. b.\n [transitive] to order someone to be present or give evidence in a court of law\n\n She was scared she would be called to testify.\n\n 2. 2\n [intransitive/transitive] to speak loudly, or to shout to someone who is not near you\n\n Did you call me?\n\n Her father called up the stairs.\n\n call to someone for something:\n\n Paul called to the waiter for another drink.\n\n call to someone to do something:\n\n He called to the driver to stop.\n\n 3. 3\n [intransitive/transitive] to telephone someone\n\n He called her from the hospital.\n\n For more information call 1\u2013800\u2013555\u20133820.\n\n call (someone) to do something:\n\n I'll call to confirm the time of the meeting.\n\n See also \u00a0collect2\n 4. 4\n [transitive] to describe or refer to someone or something in a particular way\n call someone/something something:\n\n The President called him \"a genuine hero.\"\n\n I would call what's happening there a war.\n\n sometimes/commonly/often called:\n\n It is sometimes called the Garden State because there are so many areas with trees and plants.\n\n 1. a.\n to say that something is a particular amount, although this is not the exact amount\n call something something:\n\n You owe me $5.08, so let's call it five even.\n\n 2. b.\n to criticize someone, or to say unpleasant things about them\n call someone something:\n\n They called me stupid and useless.\n\n Are you calling me a liar?\n\n call someone names (=unpleasant names):\n\n The other children teased her and called her names.\n\n 3. c.\n to describe yourself in a particular way\n call yourself something:\n\n He has no right to call himself a good neighbor.\n\n 5. 5\n [transitive] to use a particular name or title for someone\n call someone something:\n\n Her name's Elizabeth, but we call her Liz.\n\n call someone by their first name/last name/nickname:\n\n The teachers always called us by our last names.\n\n 1. a.\n to give someone or something a name or title\n\n Have you decided what to call the dog yet?\n\n call someone/something something:\n\n If the baby is a boy, they'll call him William.\n\n 6. 6\n [transitive] to say loudly the names or numbers on a list\n\n When I call your name, raise your hand.\n\n 7. 7\n [transitive] to announce that an event such as a meeting or election is going to happen\n\n Harris wants to call a meeting to discuss the new proposals.\n\n The country should dissolve its parliament and call an election.\n\n 8. 9\n [intransitive/transitive] to say what you think will happen, for example in politics or business\n hard/difficult to call:\n\n The situation in the East is hard to call.\n\n It's very difficult to call the market.\n\n 1. a.\n to say which side of a coin you think will be showing when it comes down after being tossed in the air\n call heads/tails:\n\n When Neil tossed the coin, she called heads and won.\n\n See also \u00a0close2\n 9. 10\n [transitive] American to ask for a time-out (=a short period when play stops) during a sports game\n\n The referees called time while the clock was reset.\n\n 1. a.\n American to end a sports game early, usually because of the weather\n\n The ball game was called in the seventh inning because of rain.\n\n\n\n\nBuzzWord Article\n\nOpen Dictionary\n\nselfie stick\n\n\nadd a word\n\n\n\nglobal English and language change from our blog<|endoftext|>Man opens fire on women's shelter in Logan\n\nLOGAN -- Philadelphia police are searching for the man who opened fire on", "base_doc": "inoa is 100 percent gluten-free.

has gone supernova. Initially it would be spinning at the same rate as the nebula, say once every 100,000 years. To speed such a massive object up to even one rotation a day would take titanic energy. Collisions from objects it captures by its gravity would be likely to slow it down (due to conservation of angular momentum).\n\nSecond, just because it is spinning is not a reason for it to give off bursts of energy. A neutron star is likely to be fairly homogeneous, and its electromagnetic field should be cylindrically symmetric (that is, symmetric around the axis of rotation). There is no reason to assume that it has some \"energy geyser\" on its surface that spews out a plume of radiation. Quite the opposite: once a neutron star captures matter or energy there is little chance that it could escape.\n\nThe Many Bang theory offers a much better explanation for pulsars. At any time there are many, perhaps billions, of centres or nuclei being formed for future bangs. It is likely there is one at the centre of every galaxy, or galactic cluster. These are continually capturing objects through their gravity. When a large object is being sucked in, it may plunge straight in, or it may spiral in, depending on its motion before capture. When such an object spirals in, the gravity of the black hole will rip it apart.\n\nThis process may result in a continuous release of radiation. Much of this radiation will also be captured by the black hole, but some radiation released in a radial direction away from the black hole will escape. When that direction is pointing towards the earth, we can detect it. So, each time the object reaches the point in its orbit where the escaping radiation points towards earth, we see a burst or flash.\n\nThis would also explain why some pulsars flash with two distinct periods. They are capturing two objects simultaneously, one closer with a fast period, and one further out with a slower period. By chance, it happens that points in both orbits are aimed towards earth. Eventually, I predict, we will detect pulsars with 3 or more distinct periods of flashing.\n\nThis means that pulsars are probably much more numerous than we now imagine, but we cannot detect most of them because either they are not currently capturing a large enough object, or the orbits of objects being captured never point towards earth. Consequently, black holes are also far more numerous than the ones we have observed.\n\n\nThere are several consequences of the Many Bang theory that need to be considered. The first is the relationship between red shift and the age and distance of various objects. The current equation relating red shift and distance is based on the premise that all such objects arose from a single Big Bang at the gravitational centre of the observable universe. Since Earth is fairly close to the centre, distance from Earth and distance from the centre are close enough to consider the same for this purpose.\n\nIf an object arose from a different bang, at a location far from the centre, however, this approximation would not hold. An object with a small red shift could actually be very far away because it originated from an explosion far away.\n\nIn most cases, this is not a problem. If we are talking about a local explosion of matter that originated from one of the big bangs, then the bits of material produced would be too small to see individually, while the whole mass that produced the explosion would still be moving away at the same velocity it had prior to exploding. This is a simple consequence of conservation of momentum. Most of the very distant objects we can detect must be primary products of a big bang, not the smaller secondary products. On the other hand, if we mean an object produced by another very distant big bang, it is probably still too far away to see yet.\n\n\nIf there have been many bangs at many locations, it is possible that some of them are comparable in size, or even much larger, than our own local Big Bang. This means that there may be other clusters of matter even bigger than what we currently call the universe. Although we could not expect to see individual galaxies, or even galactic clusters, within such a distant object, we might be able to see the entire object. An object of that size could rightfully be called another universe.\n\nIt is possible that we have already seen such universes, but have not recognized them because they do not exhibit a large red shift. Indeed, the portion of such a universe nearest us may be approaching at a high speed due to its own big bang. The object would then have the opposite of a red shift, called a purple or violet shift. We would interpret such an object as being small and nearby, rather than huge and vastly distant.\n\nThis opens the door to the likelihood that space is filled with matter, rather than the prevailing assumption that all matter is fairly local because it was created by a single Big Bang, and therefore could not have travelled more than 13 billion light-years. Such a cosmos could be permanent rather than having a limited age. In other words, there is no beginning of the universe, and likewise no beginning of time.\n\n\nOne of the most fundamental laws of physics is that matter can be neither created nor destroyed. If you assume all of the matter in the universe came from a single Big Bang, then this presents a problem. How did the Big Bang create all of the matter that we observe? The traditional theory is that no matter was created, rather the Big Bang created exactly equal amounts of matter and anti-matter, so that the total amount of matter in the universe was 0 before the Big Bang, and is still 0. Nothing was created or destroyed.\n\nThe difficulty with this theory is that we observe large amounts of matter, but very little anti-matter. The traditionalists maintain that the required amount of anti-matter is out there, we just don't know how to detect it.\n\nOn the other hand, if we assume matter has always existed throughout the cosmos, then there is no such problem. There is no need to ask how matter came into existence; it was always here. There is no need to require a precise balance between matter and anti-matter. We can accept a universe with lots of matter and little anti-matter, if that should prove to be true, or the converse if our little corner should be atypical.\n\n\nAn extension of the theory that the total matter in the universe is zero, is that the total energy in the universe is zero. Since neither matter nor energy can be created or destroyed, the Big Bang theory needs to explain where all the energy of vast quantities of matter hurtling outwards originated. The conventional answer is that this kinetic energy is exactly balanced by the potential energy of this same matter, should it all be pulled back by gravity to the centre. Thus the total energy in the universe would be zero.\n\nThis is an inadequate explanation. Obviously all of this kinetic energy originated from the Big Bang. So, where did the energy for the Big Bang originate? It cannot be from the conversion of matter into energy, since there was no matter before the Big Bang.\n\nThis problem does not occur in the Many Bang theory. In this view of the universe there has always been both matter and energy, and the conversion of one into the other can take place freely.\n\n\nOne of the puzzles that has engaged astrophysicists lately is the problem of the missing mass. This problem occurs if you assume an oscillating universe. There must be enough mass to pull all the matter in the universe back to the centre for the next bang. The amount of matter that we can currently detect is only about one-tenth enough to do this.\n\nOnce again, the problem does not occur for the Many Bang theory. Bangs can occur anywhere that there is enough mass to pull together the nucleus for an explosion of any size. It is widely believed that every galaxy has a black hole at its centre, and this has the potential to pull in the required material for another blast, of super-nova size or larger.\n\nIt is worthwhile noting that when any of these bangs occur, some of the matter being ejected outward will collide with matter still being pulled inward by gravity. This will create secondary explosions, and the release of additional radiation. It will also stop some of the matter from hurtling outwards, and lead to the speedier formation of a new central nucleus at the same location.\n\n\nThe universe is a far larger and more complex system than the Big Bang Theory predicts. Matter is distributed throughout the cosmos, and travelling in every direction. Red shift alone cannot determine the age and distance of every visible object.<|endoftext|>At his request, he will be reassigned within the district.<|endoftext|>\n\nThere's a Saint for That\n\nby at .

Initially it would be spinning at the same rate as the nebula, say once every 100,000 years. To speed such a massive object up to even one rotation a day would take titanic energy. Collisions from objects it captures by its gravity would be likely to slow it down (due to conservation of angular momentum).\n\nSecond, just because it is spinning is not a reason for it to give off bursts of energy. A neutron star is likely to be fairly homogeneous, and its electromagnetic field should be cylindrically symmetric (that is, symmetric around the axis of rotation). There is no reason to assume that it has some \"energy geyser\" on its surface that spews out a plume of radiation. Quite the opposite: once a neutron star captures matter or energy there is little chance that it could escape.\n\nThe Many Bang theory offers a much better explanation for pulsars. At any time there are many, perhaps billions, of centres or nuclei being formed for future bangs. It is likely there is one at the centre of every galaxy, or galactic cluster. These are continually capturing objects through their gravity. When a large object is being sucked in, it may plunge straight in, or it may spiral in, depending on its motion before capture. When such an object spirals in, the gravity of the black hole will rip it apart.\n\nThis process may result in a continuous release of radiation. Much of this radiation will also be captured by the black hole, but some radiation released in a radial direction away from the black hole will escape. When that direction is pointing towards the earth, we can detect it. So, each time the object reaches the point in its orbit where the escaping radiation points towards earth, we see a burst or flash.\n\nThis would also explain why some pulsars flash with two distinct periods. They are capturing two objects simultaneously, one closer with a fast period, and one further out with a slower period. By chance, it happens that points in both orbits are aimed towards earth. Eventually, I predict, we will detect pulsars with 3 or more distinct periods of flashing.\n\nThis means that pulsars are probably much more numerous than we now imagine, but we cannot detect most of them because either they are not currently capturing a large enough object, or the orbits of objects being captured never point towards earth. Consequently, black holes are also far more numerous than the ones we have observed.\n\n\nThere are several consequences of the Many Bang theory that need to be considered. The first is the relationship between red shift and the age and distance of various objects. The current equation relating red shift and distance is based on the premise that all such objects arose from a single Big Bang at the gravitational centre of the observable universe. Since Earth is fairly close to the centre, distance from Earth and distance from the centre are close enough to consider the same for this purpose.\n\nIf an object arose from a different bang, at a location far from the centre, however, this approximation would not hold. An object with a small red shift could actually be very far away because it originated from an explosion far away.\n\nIn most cases, this is not a problem. If we are talking about a local explosion of matter that originated from one of the big bangs, then the bits of material produced would be too small to see individually, while the whole mass that produced the explosion would still be moving away at the same velocity it had prior to exploding. This is a simple consequence of conservation of momentum. Most of the very distant objects we can detect must be primary products of a big bang, not the smaller secondary products. On the other hand, if we mean an object produced by another very distant big bang, it is probably still too far away to see yet.\n\n\nIf there have been many bangs at many locations, it is possible that some of them are comparable in size, or even much larger, than our own local Big Bang. This means that there may be other clusters of matter even bigger than what we currently call the universe. Although we could not expect to see individual galaxies, or even galactic clusters, within such a distant object, we might be able to see the entire object. An object of that size could rightfully be called another universe.\n\nIt is possible that we have already seen such universes, but have not recognized them because they do not exhibit a large red shift. Indeed, the portion of such a universe nearest us may be approaching at a high speed due to its own big bang. The object would then have the opposite of a red shift, called a purple or violet shift.

So, what I understand is that there are two different problems that these methods (carbon rod and \"the Burgess solution\" ) address.

At this point, a bit of going in circles? I understand what you mean, but I don't see it that way. What I respond to is not the underlying geometry. What I respond to is the manifestation of that geometry, which resonates with me not as a geometric example, but as a representation of the natural form. The mathematical explanation of that form is inconsequential. Curious, but inconsequential. And yes, certainly by observation. When you observe a thing of geometric beauty, you know it. When you attempt to re-create it, whether through geometry, or meticulous planning, or trial and error, or fr\n 19. A further thought: Geometry. H.P. Lovecraft. At the Mountains of Madness. He describes the ruins as (paraphrase) possessing an alien or otherworldly geometry that was incomprehensible to men. The simple observation of such a geometry would drive you MAD! As a kid I would try as hard as I could to envision that kind of \"geometry\". It is, of course, impossible. For the most part, we are beholden to the geometry we daily observe. Even the most surreal of artists are trapped within the confines of our observable universe. Which is to say, geometry (our version) permeates our very existen\n 20. I would argue that they are elegant because the scroll, and other spiral forms, stir in humans a primal recognition. Upon observing an unfurling fern or the spinning of a galaxy the reaction, if any, is one of emotional awe and gut level recognition. There is a resonance that we feel, for what ever reason. The underlying geometry came after this resonance and recognition, as a result of trying to understand the feelings. The scroll/spiral is a primal, basic form. It was obviously here long before we created the geometry to quantify it, and the thrall of it stems from that primacy, not the quan\n 21. I take your meaning (I think), but I was not talking about the interior of the pegbox as the reference point, but the entirety of it. Meaning the pegbox walls. Here's how I look at it. The back of the scroll (and really the scroll itself) is ornamentation and not crucial to the function and playability of the instrument. The important part is having a pegbox opening wide enough to accept the strings at a reasonable spacing and allow access to the pegs, and pegbox walls thick enough to support the pegs without cracking. Once those criteria are met, the design can move on from there. That is\n 22. I agree. There was a discussion here awhile back about the pegbox being the first aspect established and carved in the whole process.

The scroll graft is pretty conventional, but the rest not so much. Aesthetically, I personally would find the four piece heel distracting and ugly. As far as saving wood, there is lots of plain maple to be had, which is what you really want for the grafted neck. Any lumber yard should have something suitable. As far as stability, Melvin's method is great, but there are better ways to stabilize the heel then glueing together four pieces. Ideas here.\n 12. Roger, are you using sandpaper to keep the ribs from slipping? If so, huzzah! That's a great idea. If not...\n 13. You can find them here, apparently. I'll contact them about price. This thing coupled with two dowels in the heel and that sucker isn't going anywhere,ever!!!\n 14. I'll second (third?fourth?) everything said so far. Second hand is the way to go. It will be cheaper and the steel will be better. Also don't go overboard with the quantity. Read Rogers post again. However, since you are interested in making a violin, not necessarily spending your time hunting for nice old gouges, you might want to just buy a few to start. For that purpose I recommend the pfeil Swiss made brand. Woodcraft has them in spades. They are not the best by any means, (and not much liked on maestronet )but they are a good starting point.

A basic question: where is the best place to buy the carbon fiber rods we are talking about, and what dimensions am I looking for? So, what I understand is that there are two different problems that these methods (carbon rod and \"the Burgess solution\" ) address. The carbon rod primarily addresses warping of the neck, which can result in a drop in projection, but not always, and an overall warping/twisting, whether left and right along th\n 16. I found it to be sharp right out of the box. As mentioned, there is a video out there demonstrating how to sharpen it. Think ice skate blades. The cutting edge is concave.\n 17. Hi all, I just got this scraper. Well, a few weeks ago. I got the mini, and found it too aggressive for spruce and maple. However, it is brilliant on ebony. In particular hollowing the underside. Worth the money if only just for that purpose. I assume everyone already has something they use, but hey. Change is good sometimes. Just letting you good people know.\n 18. At this point, a bit of going in circles? I understand what you mean, but I don't see it that way. What I respond to is not the underlying geometry. What I respond to is the manifestation of that geometry, which resonates with me not as a geometric example, but as a representation of the natural form. The mathematical explanation of that form is inconsequential. Curious, but inconsequential. And yes, certainly by observation. When you observe a thing of geometric beauty, you know it. When you attempt to re-create it, whether through geometry, or meticulous planning, or trial and error, or fr\n 19. A further thought: Geometry. H.P. Lovecraft. At the Mountains of Madness. He describes the ruins as (paraphrase) possessing an alien or otherworldly geometry that was incomprehensible to men. The simple observation of such a geometry would drive you MAD! As a kid I would try as hard as I could to envision that kind of \"geometry\". It is, of course, impossible. For the most part, we are beholden to the geometry we daily observe. Even the most surreal of artists are trapped within the confines of our observable universe. Which is to say, geometry (our version) permeates our very existen\n 20. I would argue that they are elegant because the scroll, and other spiral forms, stir in humans a primal recognition. Upon observing an unfurling fern or the spinning of a galaxy the reaction, if any, is one of emotional awe and gut level recognition. There is a resonance that we feel, for what ever reason. The underlying geometry came after this resonance and recognition, as a result of trying to understand the feelings. The scroll/spiral is a primal, basic form. It was obviously here long before we created the geometry to quantify it, and the thrall of it stems from that primacy, not the quan\n 21. I take your meaning (I think), but I was not talking about the interior of the pegbox as the reference point, but the entirety of it. Meaning the pegbox walls. Here's how I look at it. The back of the scroll (and really the scroll itself) is ornamentation and not crucial to the function and playability of the instrument. The important part is having a pegbox opening wide enough to accept the strings at a reasonable spacing and allow access to the pegs, and pegbox walls thick enough to support the pegs without cracking. Once those criteria are met, the design can move on from there. That is\n 22. I agree. There was a discussion here awhile back about the pegbox being the first aspect established and carved in the whole process. Once the \"front\" is set, the \"back\" flows from that, out of necessity.\n 23. After they are rich and successful?

You don\u2019t want to lose clients because they got lost. It has to be clear to the user. You can have the logo as a link to your home and a \u201chome\u201d tab as well.\n\nAjay: Maxine What\u2019s your top 3 tips for business owners in terms of marketing and advertising?\n\nMaxine: I think that #1 its very important to brand yourself.\n\nBecause in branding your showing and displaying your personality and telling clients what you\u2019re all about. You\u2019re creating a culture and uniformity. Right now people more than anything else people want to be part of a something: a lifestyle. You want to make sure you are cohesive in your branding. Brand everything that\u2019s possible.\n\nYou don\u2019t need a huge budget. You don\u2019t need thousands of dollars to do this. Just make sure the colors match and everything matches. Don\u2019t mix and match colors. Consumers can get confused and they won\u2019t know if they are actually buying from you.\n\nI definitely think branding is very important for creating the culture.\n\nYou can do it small and do everything on your own. Make sure it\u2019s cohesive and clear. If it\u2019s modern stick to modern in terms of your business cards and everything else. Don\u2019t confuse your customers. Make sure the logo, business cards, colors and everything else are cohesive.\n\nBranding is very important, especially when it comes to creating a culture.\n\nAjay: How important is the name for a business?\n\n\u00a0Maxine\u00a0 :\u00a0 The name is very important. Make sure its catchy\n\nTheres a lot of aspects of a company name we can talk about.\n\nZankou Chicken is a great name. It\u2019s catchy (smiles). It\u2019s short and to the point Also its not a generic name you hear everywhere. Repetitive names are also catchy. A lot of names use\n\nSometimes you can use names where the first letter of the name is the same. Like Chuk E Cheese.\u00a0 Dikran do you know a company like that?\n\nDikran: I think its called homophonic. Chuk E Cheese is a great example we have one across the street from our location here in Burbank. Great place.\n\nDo it with intention. I know somebody that started a business. He had his brand all mixed: it involved medical, gifts, and aromatherapy. The name he chose was Infinity. People that wanted cars or insurance kept calling him. You don\u2019t want that to happen.\n\nMake sure the name you choose is not taken by another company. People were calling him for the car company or insurance. He was so annoyed and he had to change his number multiple times. Infinity by itself doesn\u2019t mean anything.\n\nDikran: Hmmmmmm. That\u2019s a good point\n\nMaxine: Like with a name like Zankou\u2026it could be anything. It could be a supermarket. Zankou is being branded as a famous place with chicken and garlic.\n\nAjay: Isn\u2019t it two names: Zankou Chicken? Perhaps if he used two names it could have helped.\n\nWith Infinity it was just one name.\u00a0 You also don\u2019t want to choose a name where it can be outdated.\n\nMaxine: That would be a shame. Imagine spending many years and thousands of dollars on a name and then you can\u2019t use it anymore because it\u2019s outdated. Imagine after all that work making people familiar with your name and now you have to start all over again.\n\nAjay: Sometimes people use info graphics and templates that cost tens of thousands of dollars!\n\nMaxine: Well, organizations use info graphics because they are very useful and fun to look at.\n\nTemplates are good for simple and to the point information with only 2-3 variables, like cause and effect. Most info graphics use complicated information with many variables that simply can\u2019t be done with a template.\n\nDikran: So Maxine we want to ask you how do we create a logo? Imagine someone that wants to open a new restaurant, bar or caf\u00e9. A lot of people often ask us how to create the best logo. How do they create the logo and how do they choose the colors?\n\nMaxine: Well the first question that I ask business owners and people starting a new business is: What direction are they headed? What kind of industry is it going to be? Is it for a restaurant or bar, is it a spa? Is it where children are involved? Is it with food?\n\nThat is important to decide the design and colors of the logo. For example if it was for a spa I would use blues and greens, pastel colors. These colors promote tranquility and relaxation.\n\nIf its for restaurants I would use a lot of red and yellow.\u00a0 Think Like McDonald\u2019s: They use a lot of red because subconsciously\u00a0 it makes you hungry. This is probably why Zankou Chicken uses a lot of red in its logo and interior design.\n\nWhen business owners come to me I often ask them about the background of the business. What\u2019s their story? I feel that incorporating the likings of the business owner is very important. At the end of the day its their baby. They need to think about how they see themselves in a reflection.\n\nIf it wasn\u2019t for entrepreneurs these businesses would be dead. How do they see themselves in the business?\n\nWhat is going to keep you going through the ups and downs is your passion.\u00a0 It gets you through the most challenging times. What defines your passion? That should be in your logo! You have to incorporate your passion into the brand, into the passion.\n\nIt\u2019s kind of like school. In school I hated finance, but in order to finish my degree I had to take finance.\u00a0 In school you don\u2019t like every class but you have to take them to move forward.\n\nIf the customer is vibrant you can use a vibrant red. If they are conservative you can use a more subdued red like a burgundy.\n\nI would create a fusion of the client\u2019s tastes and likes. It should have marketing appeal. You don\u2019t want to put red in a spa logo or blue in a restaurant logo. The color itself won\u2019t really draw attention; its usually a combination of everything.\n\nAjay: What about the customers? Shouldn\u2019t the customers be factored into the creation of the logo?\n\nMaxine: I always ask clients who is your target market?\n\nFor example Ross doesn\u2019t cater to the luxury market like Nordstrom\u2019s and Bloomingdales does.\u00a0 I would definitely ask the client what is their target audience?\n\nDikran: What are some elements you think of when designing a logo?\n\nMaxine: Another thing I consider in designing a logo is to make it universal and as simple as possible.\n\nWhy? Because nowadays you use your logo on the web, online, all over social media platforms, on business cards and posters. You want something that you can use on everything without having to change your logo.\n\nA good example of this is Apple. On the devices itself its black.\u00a0 On the computers its opaque but I\u2019ve also seen the rainbow, red, blue, and other colors.\u00a0 But people still don\u2019t get confused or think it\u2019s a different brand.\n\nDikran: Ajay and I were talking earlier about how sometimes corporations are so big that they can purchase an entire color. Coke was known to put red chairs on American Idol as a sponsor a few years ago and they didn\u2019t even have to say anything. They just had the judges like Simon Cowell drinking coke on a huge red, sof-like chair in the shape of a bottle.\n\nCoke has trademarked that bottle shape that resembles a slim 8 figure.\u00a0 But to many people coke owns the entire color red. When they see red and beverages, they think \u201cCoca-Cola\u201d.\u00a0 If you really think about it Coke owns red. Apple owns white and opaque. The VW Beetle used that kind of \u201cwhite, clean\u201d backdrop for their commercials in the 1970\u2019s so Apple wasn\u2019t the first to do it.\n\nCPK uses black and yellow.\n\nMaxine:\u00a0 It depends on how much money you are investing in your brand. To the point where these brands have become a culture and lifestyle for so many people.\n\nIt\u2019s not just a name. Some people no longer say the products they just use the brand. You often hear people say ,\u201d Do you have a \u00a0Kleenex?\u201d They don\u2019t ask if you have a tissue. So that\u2019s powerful.\n\nDikran: At our restaurants sometimes people ask to \u201chave a Coke.\u201d They don\u2019t ask for soda they ask for a Coke.\n\nOr for another example if you see someone drinking coffee with a green straw you automatically assume they\u2019re drinking Starbucks. It\u2019s product placement and brand marketing that companies do that entrench them into our conscious and subconscious minds.\n\nMaxine you don\u2019t just do web sites you also help with brand creation and social media.

A glance backwards to allow my comrades to see who I am is reabsorbed by looking forward together into a future in which we build our common project. In other words, we decide to intervene in specific struggles and see what we are capable of. These two moments, the first, let us say, of the knowledge of the individual, and the second, the projectual one of the knowledge of the group intertwine and constitute affinity, allowing the group to be considered to all effects an \u2018affinity group\u2019.\n\nThe resulting condition is not fixed in time once and for all. It moves, develops, regresses and modifies during the course of the various struggles, drawing from them so as to grow both theoretically and practically. It is not a monolithic entity. Decisions are not made vertically. There is no faith to be sworn upon nor commandments to believe in, in times of doubt or fear. Everything is discussed within the group throughout the course of the struggle, everything is reconsidered from the start, even if solid, eternal points might seem to exist already.\n\nThe affinity group\u2019s task is to elaborate a particular project, the best place to study and examine the conditions one decides to operate in. It might seem that organisations of synthesis are better instruments for intervening in struggles than affinity groups, but the vast range of interests held by anarchist structures of synthesis is only apparent. In fact, in an organisation of synthesis, groups are allocated tasks at congresses, and although they are free to interest themselves in all the problems that characterise this society divided into classes, basically only operate according to what has been dictated by the congress. Moreover, being linked to programmes and principles that have been accepted once and for all, they are unable to make independent decisions and end up complying to the rigid limitations fixed by the organisation in congress. The latter\u2019s role is to safeguard the organisation itself, in other words to \u2018disturb\u2019 power as little as possible and avoid being \u2018outlawed\u2019. The affinity group avoids such limitations, sometimes easily, sometimes only thanks to the courage and decision of the comrades that make it up. Of course, such structures cannot give courage to those who lack it. It cannot suggest attack unless each individual is already a rebel in his or her soul. It cannot go into action if people are only prepared to think at the level of an afternoon chat.\n\nOnce the problems concerning what is to be acted upon have been gone into, the necessary documentation has been found and analyses worked out, the affinity group goes into action. This is one of the fundamental characteristics of this kind of anarchist structure. It does not wait for problems to appear like a spider in the middle of a web. It looks for them and seeks a solution, which must obviously be accepted by the excluded who are bearing the brunt of the problem. But in order to make a proposition to a social reality that is suffering some specific form of aggression by power in a given area, it is necessary to be physically present among the excluded of that area and have a real awareness of the problems involved.\n\nThe affinity group therefore moves in the direction of local intervention, facing one particular problem and creating all the necessary psychological and practical conditions, both individually and collectively. The problem can then be faced with the characteristics and methods of insurrectionalism which are self-organisation, permanent conflictuality and attack.\n\nOne single affinity group cannot necessarily carry out such an intervention on its own. Often, at least according to the (few and controversial) experiences to date, the nature of the problem and complexity of intervention, including the extent of the area as well as the means required to develop the project and the ideas and needs of the people involved, require something more. Hence the need to keep in contact with other affinity groups so as to increase the number of comrades and find the means and ideas suited to the complexity and dimension of the problem that is being faced. That is how informal organisation originates.\n\nVarious anarchist affinity groups can come together to give life to an informal organisation aimed at facing a problem that is too complex for one group alone. Of course, all the groups participating in the informal organisation must more or less agree with the intervention and participate in both the actions and ideas.\n\nAffinity groups often develop informal relations that become constant as they meet regularly to prepare for specific struggles or \u2014 better still \u2014 during the course of these struggles. This facilitates the circulation of information about the latter and the projects that are in preparation, as well as signs from certain areas of the world of the excluded.\n\nAn informal organisation \u2018functions\u2019 quite simply. It has no name as it does not aim to grow numerically. There are no fixed structures (apart from the single affinity groups, each one of which operates quite autonomously), otherwise the term \u2018informal\u2019 would be meaningless. It is not formally \u2018constituted\u2019, there are no congresses but only simple meetings from time to time (preferably during the course of the struggles themselves). There are no programmes, only the common experience of insurrectional struggles and the methods that distinguish them: self-organisation, permanent conflictuality and attack.\n\nThe aims of the informal organisation are conferred on it by the individual affinity groups that make it up. In the few experiences that have materialised it has been a question of one specific objective, for example the destruction of the Cruise missile base in Comiso in 1982\u20131983. But there could also be more than one intervention and the informal organisation would make it possible for single groups to intervene in these different situations. For example they could alternate when it became necessary to be in one place for a considerable length of time (in Comiso groups stayed in the area for two years). Another aim could be to provide both analytical and practical means, and provide the financial support that the individual group might require.\n\nThe primary function of the informal organisation is to make known the various affinity groups and the comrades that make them up. If you think about it, this is still a question of a search for affinity, this time at a different level. Here the search for affinity is intensified by the project \u2014 which does not exclude the ever-increasing knowledge of the single individual \u2014 and comes about at the level of more than one group. One deduces from this that the informal organisation is also an affinity group, based on all the affinity groups that make it up.\n\nThe above considerations, which we have been developing over the past fifteen years, should have been of some use to comrades in their understanding the nature of informal organisation. This does not seem to be the case. In my opinion, the most serious misunderstanding comes from the latent desire of many of us to flex our muscles. We want to give ourselves a strong organisational structure because that seems to be the only way to fight a power structure that is strong and muscular. According to these comrades the first characteristic that such a structure should have is that it be specific and robust, must last in time and be clearly visible so as to constitute a kind of light amidst the struggles of the excluded \u2014 a light, a guide, a point of reference.\n\nAlas! We do not share this opinion. All the economic and social analyses of post-industrial capitalism show how power would swallow up such a strong, visible structure in one gulp. The disappearance of the centrality of the working class (at least what was once considered such) means that an attack carried out by a rigid, visible structure would be impracticable. If such structures are not simply destroyed on impact, they would just be co-opted into the ambit of power in order to recuperate and recycle the most irreducible elements.\n\nSo long as the affinity group continues to look inwards, it will be no more than a few comrades giving themselves their own rules and respecting them. By looking inwards I do not just mean staying inside one\u2019s anarchist place, limiting oneself to the usual discussions among the initiated, but also responding to the various deadlines of power and repression with declarations and documents. In that case the affinity group would only differ from other anarchist groups superficially: \u2018political\u2019 choices, ways of interpreting the various responses to the power structure\u2019s claim to regulate our lives and those of all the excluded.\n\nThe profound sense of being a \u2018different\u2019 structure, i.e. one based on a way of organising that is quite different to all other anarchist groups \u2014 in a word, on affinity \u2014 only becomes operative when it sets out a project of specific struggle. And what characterises this project more than anything is the presence of a considerable number of excluded, of people \u2014 in a word, the mass \u2014 bearing the brunt of repression that the project is addressing with recourse to insurrectionalist methods.\n\nThe essential element in the insurrectional project is therefore mass participation. And, as we started off from the condition of affinity among the single anarchist groups participating in it, it is also an essential element of this affinity itself. It would be no more than mere camaraderie d\u2019elite if it were to remain circumscribed to the reciprocal search for deeper personal knowledge between comrades.\n\nBut it would be nonsense to consider trying to make other people become anarchists and suggest that they enter our groups during the struggle. Not only would it be nonsense, it would be a horrible ideological forcing of things that would upturn the whole meaning of affinity groups and the eventual informal organisation that might ensue in order to face the specific repressive attack. But here we are faced with the need to create organisational structures that are capable of regrouping the excluded in such a way as to begin the attack on repression. So we come to the need to give life to autonomous base nuclei, which can obviously give themselves any other name that indicates the", "base_doc": " the realisation of one\u2019s ideas. A glance backwards to allow my comrades to see who I am is reabsorbed by looking forward together into a future in which we build our common project. In other words, we decide to intervene in specific struggles and see what we are capable of. These two moments, the first, let us say, of the knowledge of the individual, and the second, the projectual one of the knowledge of the group intertwine and constitute affinity, allowing the group to be considered to all effects an \u2018affinity group\u2019.\n\nThe resulting condition is not fixed in time once and for all. It moves, develops, regresses and modifies during the course of the various struggles, drawing from them so as to grow both theoretically and practically. It is not a monolithic entity. Decisions are not made vertically. There is no faith to be sworn upon nor commandments to believe in, in times of doubt or fear. Everything is discussed within the group throughout the course of the struggle, everything is reconsidered from the start, even if solid, eternal points might seem to exist already.\n\nThe affinity group\u2019s task is to elaborate a particular project, the best place to study and examine the conditions one decides to operate in. It might seem that organisations of synthesis are better instruments for intervening in struggles than affinity groups, but the vast range of interests held by anarchist structures of synthesis is only apparent. In fact, in an organisation of synthesis, groups are allocated tasks at congresses, and although they are free to interest themselves in all the problems that characterise this society divided into classes, basically only operate according to what has been dictated by the congress. Moreover, being linked to programmes and principles that have been accepted once and for all, they are unable to make independent decisions and end up complying to the rigid limitations fixed by the organisation in congress. The latter\u2019s role is to safeguard the organisation itself, in other words to \u2018disturb\u2019 power as little as possible and avoid being \u2018outlawed\u2019. The affinity group avoids such limitations, sometimes easily, sometimes only thanks to the courage and decision of the comrades that make it up. Of course, such structures cannot give courage to those who lack it. It cannot suggest attack unless each individual is already a rebel in his or her soul. It cannot go into action if people are only prepared to think at the level of an afternoon chat.\n\nOnce the problems concerning what is to be acted upon have been gone into, the necessary documentation has been found and analyses worked out, the affinity group goes into action. This is one of the fundamental characteristics of this kind of anarchist structure. It does not wait for problems to appear like a spider in the middle of a web. It looks for them and seeks a solution, which must obviously be accepted by the excluded who are bearing the brunt of the problem. But in order to make a proposition to a social reality that is suffering some specific form of aggression by power in a given area, it is necessary to be physically present among the excluded of that area and have a real awareness of the problems involved.\n\nThe affinity group therefore moves in the direction of local intervention, facing one particular problem and creating all the necessary psychological and practical conditions, both individually and collectively. The problem can then be faced with the characteristics and methods of insurrectionalism which are self-organisation, permanent conflictuality and attack.\n\nOne single affinity group cannot necessarily carry out such an intervention on its own. Often, at least according to the (few and controversial) experiences to date, the nature of the problem and complexity of intervention, including the extent of the area as well as the means required to develop the project and the ideas and needs of the people involved, require something more. Hence the need to keep in contact with other affinity groups so as to increase the number of comrades and find the means and ideas suited to the complexity and dimension of the problem that is being faced. That is how informal organisation originates.\n\nVarious anarchist affinity groups can come together to give life to an informal organisation aimed at facing a problem that is too complex for one group alone. Of course, all the groups participating in the informal organisation must more or less agree with the intervention and participate in both the actions and ideas.\n\nAffinity groups often develop informal relations that become constant as they meet regularly to prepare for specific struggles or \u2014 better still \u2014 during the course of these struggles. This facilitates the circulation of information about the latter and the projects that are in preparation, as well as signs from certain areas of the world of the excluded.\n\nAn informal organisation \u2018functions\u2019 quite simply. It has no name as it does not aim to grow numerically. There are no fixed structures (apart from the single affinity groups, each one of which operates quite autonomously), otherwise the term \u2018informal\u2019 would be meaningless. It is not formally \u2018constituted\u2019, there are no congresses but only simple meetings from time to time (preferably during the course of the struggles themselves). There are no programmes, only the common experience of insurrectional struggles and the methods that distinguish them: self-organisation, permanent conflictuality and attack.\n\nThe aims of the informal organisation are conferred on it by the individual affinity groups that make it up. In the few experiences that have materialised it has been a question of one specific objective, for example the destruction of the Cruise missile base in Comiso in 1982\u20131983. But there could also be more than one intervention and the informal organisation would make it possible for single groups to intervene in these different situations. For example they could alternate when it became necessary to be in one place for a considerable length of time (in Comiso groups stayed in the area for two years).

What is life?\n\nIt's been a quick turnaround this season. After struggling through the first two-thirds of the campaign, flirting with relegation in the process, the Foxes have gotten back to the form that carried them to the top of the league a year ago.\n\nSure, we only have a three-match sample without Ranieri, but the team's improved performance has been staggering (statistics courtesy of WhoScored).\n\nSplit Matches Losses Goals Goals Allowed Shots Shots Allowed\n2015-16 38 3 1.78 0.95 13.7 13.6\n2016-17 With Ranieri 25 14 0.96 1.72 10.9 14.4\n2016-17 Without Ranieri 3 0 2.67 0.67 14.7 12.7\n\nUnder newly-appointed Craig Shakespeare, the Foxes have ripped off successive 3-1 league wins over Liverpool and Hull City before topping Sevilla by a 2-0 score in the second leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie.\n\nAs we mentioned at the time of Ranieri's firing, Leicester were in very bad shape as recently as three weeks ago. It wasn't a run of hard luck that had the Foxes nearing the drop zone; they were legitimately one of the worst teams in the Premier League, ranking among the bottom in nearly every meaningful statistic.\n\nMaybe the most impressive thing about this recent run of excellent form is that the victories have come against some pretty stout competition aside from Hull. Liverpool and Sevilla are both currently in the top four of their domestic leagues. Heck, Sevilla is a mere three points behind giants Barcelona in La Liga.\n\nCan Leicester maintain this form and keep up their Champions League magic? Well, those are two different questions.\n\nAdvancing to the semifinals of the Champions League is going to be a tall order, and a lot of it will depend on who the Foxes draw for their quarterfinal tie. While they're going to face a top-notch foe regardless, a matchup with Barcelona, Bayern Munich or Real Madrid would almost certainly spell doom. But as the Foxes taught us last year, they're capable of anything.\n\nAs for continuing this form, it's certainly possible. Losing Kante has left a gaping hole in front of their back four, but the way they've played of late is pretty much the way they played for 38 matches last year on their way to glory.\n\nEven if their Champions League run flames out in a big way in the quarterfinals -- which is a distinct possibility if they are pitted against Barca, Bayern or Real Madrid -- the Foxes have rekindled what worked so well for them a year ago. They've been organized defensively, dangerous on set pieces and ready to pounce on the counter.\n\nIf they can carry this form over to the 2017-18 Premier League season, Leicester could find themselves back in the top half of the EPL table.<|endoftext|>On Point: China Prepares for Hot War and Long Struggle\n\nby Austin Bay\nOctober 31, 2018\n\nIn retrospect, the June 1989 massacre in Beijing's Tiananmen Square signaled that China's rise would not be peaceful. In Tiananmen, the Communist government's security forces slaughtered more than 2,000 demonstrators.\n\nLet's stipulate that China's four-decade rise from a hunger-plagued developing country to a great power with global clout ranks as one of history's more striking political-economic achievements.\n\nAs China's economy modernized, the U.S. bet political liberalization would follow. International integration would moderate China's Communists and a democracy focused on internal development and peaceful economic competition would emerge.\n\nSo much for optimism. The Communist dictatorship opted for imperial territorial expansion, most overtly in the South China Sea. However, its territorial aspirations in the Himalayas and the East China Sea are also aggressive.\n\nInstead of liberalizing on the home front, Beijing bullied the neighbors it could not buy, with the goal of gaining regional supremacy in East and Southeast Asia.\n\nChinese offshore oil exploration rigs have violated Vietnamese waters. In the South China Sea, the Philippines has lost territory to \"dredge and barge\" invasions. Chinese maritime construction task forces, using dredges and lots of concrete, have turned what geographers call features (rocks, shoals, et cetera) into man-made islands. If the final product looks something like a stationary aircraft carrier surrounded by a strip of sand, that isn't a glitch, it's a feature.\n\nChina then claims full sovereignty and its diplomats and admirals argue that foreign ships need permission to enter the \"territorial waters\" of these fakes.\n\nThe U.S. is a fervent advocate of freedom of navigation and China's South China Sea shenanigans restrict that freedom. Thus, Beijing's bullying explicitly tests American resolve to support the post-WW2 international order. It implicitly attacks America's goal of preventing the emergence of a regional hegemon in East Asia.\n\nAs a result, we are witnessing the emergence of a great power competition, complete with military buildups, diplomatic maneuvering and -- this year -- a war.\n\nSo far, it's just a U.S.-China trade war, not a hot, shooting war. Beijing, however, is preparing for \"hot war\" with the U.S.\n\nFor the last 15 years the dictatorship has spent hundreds of billions on military modernization. China's navy is acquiring advanced nuclear submarines. The air force is buying stealthy supersonic jet fighters. China's strategic rocket forces have acquired anti-ship ballistic missiles with precision warheads that can allegedly hit a moving U.S. carrier. The subs, fighters and missiles support China's anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) military strategy.\n\nWho is being denied access? The U.S. Navy.\n\nA2/AD has a coercive political goal: Seeding doubts in Asia that the mighty U.S. will come to the rescue should China decide to launch an offensive to grab more territory -- like the Strait of Malacca, which connects the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Doubting U.S. resolve makes Asian countries susceptible to diplomatic intimidation.\n\nChina is also acquiring its own aircraft carriers, which can project power through the Straits of Malacca and into the Indian Ocean. But as the Pentagon noted in 2017, China's artificial islands (in Filipino territory) have air bases and Chinese military aircraft can already \"operate over nearly the entire South China Sea.\"\n\nBut China isn't ready to go hot, not yet. Presenting America with a peer-level military challenge is 10 to 15 years away.\n\nSo Beijing wants to continue the quiet struggle, avoiding high-risk confrontations with Washington while increasing its economic power. These operations include cyber attacks and intellectual property theft. Chinese spies steal intellectual property and Chinese corporations use the filched technology to make money.\n\nThe military and diplomatic dimensions of 21st-century Chinese Communist imperial bullying rely on an expanding economy, continued productivity and relatively unfettered access to markets -- especially the American market.\n\nPerhaps the U.S. trade war with China is the beginning of a strategic counter-attack on the cash cow that the Beijing dictatorship knows is its long-term route to global power. If it is, then the American response is long overdue.\n\n\n\n\nOn Point Archives:\n\n\n\n\nHelp Us Keep Our Heads Above Water!\n\n\nSubscribe\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Contribute\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Close<|endoftext|>Surviving.\u00a0The explicit significance of this word can be interpreted in various ways.

Financial liberalization was regarded as a means to foster competition in the financial sector, increasing access to credit for firms. As a result, an increased growth rate was expected. In some countries this was observed (Claessens et al., 2001 and Micco et al., 2007). In others, while the access and conditions faced by larger firms improved, the effects on smaller firms have been mixed or negative. For example, focusing on a specific type of liberalization, i.e., the entry of foreign banks, the study of Gormley (2010) for India showed a reduction in lending to small and medium enterprises after financial liberalization. What could explain this wide divergence in the results of financial liberalization? We suggest that one possible explanation for this contradictory evidence is that the impact of financial liberalization depends on the market structure of the domestic banking system prior to liberalization. Assume that financial liberalization is defined as the entry of foreign banks coupled to improved access to international capital markets. We show that if the domestic banking market is competitive, financial liberalization leads to the expected positive results. On the other hand, when markets are initially non-competitive, liberalization can lead to the exclusion of smaller (or weaker) businesses from the credit market, while the stronger companies are served by international banks. Thus, we show that the ex ante competitive situation in the financial market can explain the diverging observations on the effects of financial liberalization. The proponents of financial liberalization have argued that the entry of foreign banks would reduce costs by the use of improved financial technology; because they would demand improved financial regulation; and because they would be less corrupt and would not lend to related firms in banking conglomerates. Opponents of liberalization pointed out that foreign entrants are at a disadvantage because they have less information about clients and the domestic legal system, and because their lobbying capacity is lower than that of domestic banks. One of the implications of the informational disadvantages is that for foreign banks, the entrepreneurial rent received by entrepreneurs should be higher, ceteris paribus, than for domestic banks. Since increased competition by foreign banks will weaken domestic banks and reduce their lending, these two effects could combine to reduce total lending in the economy post-liberalization. This combination of advantages and weaknesses suggests that foreign banks tend to cherry pick firms with good internal accounting systems, solid financial positions and therefore a low probability of default. Given their better technology and lower loan origination costs, they can outcompete the domestic banks for these clients, leaving the riskier and more information-demanding clients for domestic banks, which can apply their relatively better monitoring ability. In these conditions, each type of bank specializes in the type of firm in which it has a comparative advantage, and this should lead to an increase in efficient lending. However, this conclusion rests on the assumption that the entry of foreign banks reduces or does not alter the cost of funds for domestic banks. If the entry of foreign banks were to raise the cost of funds for domestic banks, the effects of entry would be different. In particular, if the domestic banking system is imperfectly competitive, and the cost of funds is initially kept artificially low due to the lack of alternatives for savers, post-liberalization, the increased access to the international financial markets and the increased competition for domestic funds by foreign banks leads to an increase in the cost of funds for local banks. This may lead to a reduction in lending to the riskiest clients. There is empirical evidence for these effects. Rashid (2011), using data from 81 developing and emerging countries for the period 1995\u20132009, shows that foreign banks compete for deposits with the domestic banking system, and that this leads to an increase in the reliance on costlier (and more volatile) non-deposit funds by domestic banks. Moreover, the author presents evidence that increases in the share of deposits by foreign banks leads to a decline in credit to the private sector. Another paper, by Detriagache et al. (2008), uses data from the banking sector of 62 low income countries. They show that increased foreign bank penetration is associated with lower access to credit by the private sector and that foreign banks have a safer (less risky) loan portfolio.1 Why would foreign banks lend to a less risky loan portfolio than domestic banks in emerging economies? One possibility is that there are costs associated to operating in countries in environments that are different, with legal systems that are often inefficient or corrupt. In this regard, Mian (2006) has shown, using a sample of 80.000 loans in Pakistan, that the greater the physical and cultural distance between the headquarters of a foreign bank and a local subsidiary, the less willing they are to grant loans that are informationally complex, even though they are willing to lend to sound firms requiring relational contracting. Greater distance also makes banks less likely to bilaterally renegotiate loan contracts, and less successful at recovering from defaults. Several models have used information problems as the basis of their explanations for the observed phenomena. In their paper, Detriagache et al. (2008) propose a model in which, prior to the entry of foreign banks, domestic banks may find it convenient to reduce monitoring costs by pooling creditors, therefore implicitly providing a subsidy to weaker borrowers. When foreign banks arrive, with improved ability to screen hard numerical information, they compete in advantageous conditions for the financial needs of larger firms. This produces a segmentation of the credit market, reducing the average quality of firms being pooled by domestic banks and, under certain conditions on the monitoring cost, a pooling equilibrium is no longer feasible. In a separating equilibrium, loans become too expensive for weak borrowers, who drop out of the market. Foreign bank entry only benefits more transparent firms, while other firms are either indifferent or worse off. Rueda Maurer (2008), using the arguments of Detriagache et al. (2008), notes that different levels of credit protection may lead to credit constraints for opaque small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), and tests this conclusion in a cross-section of 22 transition countries. Similarly, Gormley (2011) uses a model where information acquisition is relatively more expensive for foreign banks but these banks have a lower cost of funds. Initially, if screening costs are high, there is a pooling equilibrium. This equilibrium is broken by the entry of foreign firms, which cream-skim the firms that can use large amounts of capital (so that the lower financing cost of foreign banks offsets their higher screening costs), lowering the average quality of firms that remain for domestic banks. Now pooling may not be feasible and if screening costs are high, some banks exit the market, reducing lending to weaker firms. In this paper we present a complementary explanation for the observation that foreign entry may either increase or reduce firm\u2019s access to loans. In our model it is the initial intensity of competition in the domestic financial market that drives the results. Consider a continuum of potential entrepreneurs with different wealth levels, who can invest in risky projects but whose individual assets are insufficient to carry out their projects without a loan from the credit market. Moreover, the ownership of assets by agents is private information and there is ex-post moral hazard, modeled as an incomplete verifiability of returns. The fact that a share of the returns is non-verifiable ex-post gives rise to entrepreneurial rent, as defined in Holstrom and Tirole (2011). The extent of entrepreneurial rent depends on factors such as the quality of the legal institutions in a country. The moral hazard problem reduces the surplus that can be contracted with a lender to an amount smaller than the surplus of the project. This means that entrepreneurs with small amounts of wealth will not receive loans and will be unable to set up their projects, even though it would be efficient to do so, if the capital were available. Moreover, we assume that domestic banks have the advantage of facing a lower rate of entrepreneurial rents, relative to foreign lenders. This is explained by better knowledge of the idiosyncracies of the legal system, or better monitoring ability due to immediacy. However, foreign banks have the advantage of a lower cost of funds, either because they have better access to less expensive international funds, or because of better financial and administrative technology. Consider a small, closed and capital constrained economy, so that under a competitive domestic financial market, the internal deposit rate is higher than the world rate. When the economy liberalizes, the entry of foreign banks does not change the competitive situation of the internal financial system. However, the supply of loanable funds ceases to be restricted, as the domestic financial system has access to lower cost foreign capital. Since foreign banks have a lower cost of funds, but face higher entrepreneurial rents, they lend to select wealthier entrepreneurs, whose contractible surplus relative to the loan size is higher.2 Therefore, these agents face lower lending costs after entry through two channels: the lower financing costs after liberalization and by the fact that they operate with more efficient foreign banks. The remaining entrepreneurs who gain access to credit operate with domestic banks, which face relatively lower entrepreneurial rents than foreign banks. These entrepreneurs benefit from the lower costs of funds after liberalization because competition transfers the lower rates from banks to borrowers. Moreover, the lower costs of funds leads to an increase in the number of potential entrepreneurs with access to loans for their projects.

As Pete Peterson will tell you, it is this $56 trillion fiscal exposure that will bankrupt the United States.\n\n My suggestion for \u201csomething\u201d would be to first gift the federal government\u2019s common shares (including voting rights) in the troubled banks to the American People, and then contribute them to the Social Security and Medicare trust funds on their behalf. Like David Swensen\u2019s \u201cequity-oriented\u201d Yale Endowment Fund and taking advantage of what Albert Einstein called the more powerful force in the universe (compound interest), capital appreciation and common stock dividends over a 75-year horizon would go a long way towards curing the $56 trillion fiscal exposure of the federal entitlement trust funds.\n\n Another suggestion to would be for the federal entitlement trust funds to invest in the AAA-rated, TALF asset-backed securities (which with leverage from the Fed could have returns of up to 20%). Wow! So not only would these ABSs throw off massive amounts of interest income to finance Social Security & Medicare disbursements, but their investment by the federal entitlement trust funds would create such a monster demand that it will certainly restart the ABS markets of the shadow banking system.\n\n 29. Returning to my first suggestion above, to \u201cfix the financial system\u201d I would have created ultra-clean new banks with tabula rasa (zero legacy) loan portfolios under the resolution authority of \u201cprompt corrective action\u201d by putting the entire loan portfolio (legacy & toxic) of troubled old banks into conservatorship for orderly liquidation (sort of like runoff mode for insurance companies). (The ultra-clean new banks would own the operating assets of the troubled old banks.)\n\n Why the *entire* loan portfolio? First, the FDIC would not need to go through the labor-intensive determination of going through a bank\u2019s portfolio loan by loan to see which now-performing loan could become toxic. Second, under the watchful eye and heavy hand of bank regulators, equity investment in \u201cvirgin\u201d ultra-clean new banks would be safe and suitable for the federal entitlement funds. Third, an ultra-clean bank with a tabula rasa portfolio means that it would have no excuse not to lend to creditworthy borrowers (Blanchard\u2019s chart 12 on credit standards). Under the Fed\u2019s 10% reserve ratio a $100 billion capitalization could have created $1 trillion in fresh lending capacity overnight! Fourth, bank profits from spread income due to the Fed\u2019s near-zero QE interest environment and zero exposure to credit bubble-vintage legacy loans would have provided *lush* common stock dividends for the federal entitlement trust funds.\n\n Thus just like killing two birds with one stone, for the same issuance of federal debt, President Obama could have recapitalized the banks and cured the $56 trillion fiscal exposure of the Social Security and Medicare funds. In fact, because it would avoid touching the third rail of committing political suicide by raising taxes and/or cutting benefits, Congress should have been more the eager to fund the trillions necessary to give the finance system a \u201cfresh start\u201d recapitalization.\n\n Also note that a semi-permanent, passive, diffused ownership stake by the American people (including voting rights) solves the nationalization issue of corporate control, and the problem of exit policy (Blanchard\u2019s chart 14).\n\n Unfortunately the second suggestion of ultra-clean new banks is now foreclosed by Geithner\u2019s stress test. However two things that could derail it are:\n 1) the horizon of the stress test was to the end of 2010 [1]. This means that it completely ignored the pay-option ARM default wave, which assuming a 12 month delay from rescheduled resets (whose negative amortization ceilings are now slowed by ultra-low interest rates) will not peak until summer 2012 [2] [3].\n 2) political outrage over the Private-Public Investment Partnership (PPIP) where the FDIC could be abused as a toxic waste dump to dispose of now performing (and thus high priced) but later to toxic pay-option ARMs and their RMBS and CMO derivatives [4 [5]. In fact maybe PPIP may not be needed since the 19 banks passed their stress tests relatively unscathed!\n\n In closing, apologies to Simon and James for repeating my \u201cpet policy\u201d solution but I did so because it addresses all of Blanchard\u2019s concerns. Nevertheless, the federal government\u2019s common stock shares in say, CitiGroup and Bank of American can still be gifted to the American people and then contributed to the Social Security & Medicare trust funds on their behalf; and these federal entitlement trust funds can still invest in AAA-rated TALF asset-backed securities, which would have the salutary benefit of creating monster demand thereby restarting the ABS markets of the shadow banking system.\n\n The missed opportunity though is that like killing two birds with one stone, the same issuance of now low-interest federal debt could have been used to fix the US financial system and the $56 trillion fiscal exposure of the US federal entitlement trust funds\u2013thereby providing relief for the federal budget.

I\u2019m a lifelong Democrat, thanks. I didn\u2019t say", "base_doc": "2010 (see Table S-3, p. 6). As Pete Peterson will tell you, it is this $56 trillion fiscal exposure that will bankrupt the United States.\n\n My suggestion for \u201csomething\u201d would be to first gift the federal government\u2019s common shares (including voting rights) in the troubled banks to the American People, and then contribute them to the Social Security and Medicare trust funds on their behalf. Like David Swensen\u2019s \u201cequity-oriented\u201d Yale Endowment Fund and taking advantage of what Albert Einstein called the more powerful force in the universe (compound interest), capital appreciation and common stock dividends over a 75-year horizon would go a long way towards curing the $56 trillion fiscal exposure of the federal entitlement trust funds.\n\n Another suggestion to would be for the federal entitlement trust funds to invest in the AAA-rated, TALF asset-backed securities (which with leverage from the Fed could have returns of up to 20%). Wow! So not only would these ABSs throw off massive amounts of interest income to finance Social Security & Medicare disbursements, but their investment by the federal entitlement trust funds would create such a monster demand that it will certainly restart the ABS markets of the shadow banking system.\n\n 29. Returning to my first suggestion above, to \u201cfix the financial system\u201d I would have created ultra-clean new banks with tabula rasa (zero legacy) loan portfolios under the resolution authority of \u201cprompt corrective action\u201d by putting the entire loan portfolio (legacy & toxic) of troubled old banks into conservatorship for orderly liquidation (sort of like runoff mode for insurance companies). (The ultra-clean new banks would own the operating assets of the troubled old banks.)\n\n Why the *entire* loan portfolio? First, the FDIC would not need to go through the labor-intensive determination of going through a bank\u2019s portfolio loan by loan to see which now-performing loan could become toxic. Second, under the watchful eye and heavy hand of bank regulators, equity investment in \u201cvirgin\u201d ultra-clean new banks would be safe and suitable for the federal entitlement funds. Third, an ultra-clean bank with a tabula rasa portfolio means that it would have no excuse not to lend to creditworthy borrowers (Blanchard\u2019s chart 12 on credit standards). Under the Fed\u2019s 10% reserve ratio a $100 billion capitalization could have created $1 trillion in fresh lending capacity overnight! Fourth, bank profits from spread income due to the Fed\u2019s near-zero QE interest environment and zero exposure to credit bubble-vintage legacy loans would have provided *lush* common stock dividends for the federal entitlement trust funds.\n\n Thus just like killing two birds with one stone, for the same issuance of federal debt, President Obama could have recapitalized the banks and cured the $56 trillion fiscal exposure of the Social Security and Medicare funds. In fact, because it would avoid touching the third rail of committing political suicide by raising taxes and/or cutting benefits, Congress should have been more the eager to fund the trillions necessary to give the finance system a \u201cfresh start\u201d recapitalization.\n\n Also note that a semi-permanent, passive, diffused ownership stake by the American people (including voting rights) solves the nationalization issue of corporate control, and the problem of exit policy (Blanchard\u2019s chart 14).\n\n Unfortunately the second suggestion of ultra-clean new banks is now foreclosed by Geithner\u2019s stress test. However two things that could derail it are:\n 1) the horizon of the stress test was to the end of 2010 [1]. This means that it completely ignored the pay-option ARM default wave, which assuming a 12 month delay from rescheduled resets (whose negative amortization ceilings are now slowed by ultra-low interest rates) will not peak until summer 2012 [2] [3].\n 2) political outrage over the Private-Public Investment Partnership (PPIP) where the FDIC could be abused as a toxic waste dump to dispose of now performing (and thus high priced) but later to toxic pay-option ARMs and their RMBS and CMO derivatives [4 [5]. In fact maybe PPIP may not be needed since the 19 banks passed their stress tests relatively unscathed!\n\n In closing, apologies to Simon and James for repeating my \u201cpet policy\u201d solution but I did so because it addresses all of Blanchard\u2019s concerns. Nevertheless, the federal government\u2019s common stock shares in say, CitiGroup and Bank of American can still be gifted to the American people and then contributed to the Social Security & Medicare trust funds on their behalf; and these federal entitlement trust funds can still invest in AAA-rated TALF asset-backed securities, which would have the salutary benefit of creating monster demand thereby restarting the ABS markets of the shadow banking system.\n\n The missed opportunity though is that like killing two birds with one stone, the same issuance of now low-interest federal debt could have been used to fix the US financial system and the $56 trillion fiscal exposure of the US federal entitlement trust funds\u2013thereby providing relief for the federal budget. Why so much silo thinking by Geithner, Summers & Co.? All this to save the unsecured creditors of troubled banks?\n\n [1] See footnote 7 on page 8 of the Fed\u2019s \u201cSupervisory Capital Assessment Program: Overview of Results\u201d (May 7, 2009). My guess is that the Fed DID NOT COUNT the 2011 and 2012 pay-option ARM resets in its stress tests.

Coffee Boy\n\n Actually all of those.

Hi Anil,\n\n Your arguments are good. I also suspect that a lot of farm credit or MNREGA money is getting diverted to gold. Where I differ from you is that it will continue. Also, even if gold price stabilizes here, Indians are unlikely to stop or delay buying. More because middle class India does not have a more stable/emotional asset class to invest in. Additionally, wedding season buying is probably never going to go away in India.\n Rise in gold prices have definitely helped profits going up, but also we need to remember that high prices has reduced volume growth a great deal. So, over a 3-4 year period I suspect it evens out. Also, the valuations at the current level are reasonable.\n\n The company is expanding in mostly very small towns and cities, so they are taking away customers from unorganized players.\n\n 3. Hi Abhishek,\n\n Good analysis as always. I see few problems with this company though it appears a value buy at current valuation, so here are my 2 cents.\n\n 1. Rapid expansion in a bid to grow manifold overnight. The announcements on BSE show they have added at least 10 stores in last 6-9 months. As each stores requires huge amount of working capital, this leads to even higher debt and that comes with higher interest rates. We have seen this with Subhiksha, Coutons and Cantabil.\n 2. The sales growth will likely be tepid in future as they move out of their traditional stronghold of Madurai. This is a trust based business and it takes a long time to establish it in new places where existing players will give it a tough time. I think this is evident to some extent in numbers where in spite of expansion, the growth is slowing down.\n 3. While the jury is still out on gold price trend, the risks are definitely higher at this point and any adverse shock in gold prices will take its toll on Thangamayil due to huge inventory. Agreed that the stock is very liquid, however, they will need to retain this inventory as nobody likes to visit an empty store.\n 4. There is no real brand differentiation of this chain with many others operating throughout India so pricing will always be competitive unlike Titan or TBZ where they have successfully built a premium image and demand a premium price in a commodity market.\n 5. The rapid expansion by all players, listed or unlisted, is indicative of a bubble. Any demand shock will take its toll on a highly leveraged player like Thangamayil.\n\n\n 1. Good points Tarun. Here is what I think. Let me know your thoughts...\n\n 1. The difference between a gold retailer and a grocer or apparel retailer is in the merchandise inventory. There is no market for old clothes, so the inventory is marked down heavily for people like Subhiksha, Coutons and Cantabil.GOld, on the other hand, does not lose its value that quickly.\n 2. Its focus in more on moving to smaller towns and cities. Out of its total branch network, only a handful (Madurai, Tuticorin, Salem and Coimbatore branches) are in municipal corporations. The rest are in medium-sized towns and some in the rural areas, in places such as\n Dharapuram, Cumbum, Theni, Krishnagiri and Vallakoil.\n 3.Gold price is not going down in a hurry till the external economy improves. My take (and I reserve the right to be wrong!!) is that economic recovery is a long way off. So, no immediate threat of gold price collapsing. But it is a key monitorable risk.\n 4. Titan, TBZ are targetting urban upper middle class or rich people. These guys are targetting semi-urban/rural middle class and rich. When do you think Titan is going to open a store in rural Tami Nadu? Maybe 10/15 years to go for that. Till then what the people have got is players like Thangamayil and their brethren. Also, what is the brand difference between Titan and TBZ? Nothing to my mind.\n 5.The rapid expansion and regular IPO absolutely looks like it will end up in trouble :-) Bubble will form only when the valuation goes through the roof. Bubbles form at 50-60-100 PE. At 8-9 PE, a lot of the risks may be there in the price.\n\n The point is if I want Titan I have to pay 40 times earnings. Here I have to pay 8 times. Sure there are problems, otherwise this would also be 40 times. Question is, is the possible reward more than the risk. I think it is; for atleast the next 12-15 months. After that will need to reassess.\n\n 4. Sourced from Equitymaster's 5 minute wrap - a email newsletter:-\n\n The new set of rules by the Basel Committee (Basel III), which mandates capital and regulatory standards for global banks, has re-designated gold. In other words gold has been reclassified as a Tier I asset for commercial banks from a Tier III capital under Basel I and II. Now, for capital adequacy purposes, banks need to assign weights to Tier I, II and II capital. As Tier III capital, gold was earlier given a weightage of 50%. So, Rs 100 worth of gold was valued at Rs 50 earlier. But under Basel III, gold is treated as Tier I capital and accounted at full value. So instead of buying perpetual bonds or government debt, banks have every reason to buy gold. Basel III comes into effect from 1st January 2013. And needless to say that the demand from commercial banks worldwide is certain to drive up prices. In the past too, demand for gold from central banks has been a major boost for gold prices.\n\n 5.

There exists a game for everyone, no matter who you are or what sort of player you are. These games range from card games to video poker and everything among. Playing any of these games can be highly addictive and folks can lose their lives playing a game or two here and there. You\u2019ll find nothing wrong with playing a casino game a few times, but the best way to learn the rules is to practice them normally as possible.\n\ncasino games\n\nThere are three main types of casino games: cards, table games, and progressive casino games. Cards include blackjack, baccarat, \uce74\uc9c0\ub178 \uc2e0\uaddc \ucfe0\ud3f0 blackjack, roulette, poker, rummy, and bingo. Blackjack, baccarat, and bingo are the most popular ones. All of these games have a residence edge, which means that if you gamble your whole bankroll on one game then you will end up losing more money than you took out. Card games like blackjack, baccarat, roulette, and poker generally have a lower house edge than other types of games.\n\nSome of the earliest types of gambling took place on the land owned by Native Americans. The earliest version of slots was installed onto the Pueblo Indian powwow tables. Today, most of the larger casinos use gadgets for blackjack, roulette, poker, slots, and bingo. In the early days of gambling, some tribes still used them as part of their gaming.\n\nMost table games at today\u2019s casinos are programmed to allow random number generators to choose numbers that will eventually appear during the course of the overall game. Many of these games also use lucky numbers or special cards. While cards have become popular casino games, many of the newer ones incorporate certain computer programs that help the players have a better chance of winning. Even though many of the newer games are based on simple luck, there are always some strategies that can be used to increase the chances of winning.\n\nOne of the oldest and most popular casino games is card games. While many people think about blackjack when they think of playing cards at a casino, there are actually a lot of various kinds of card games that are available today.

Use a colored UV-curable nail polish, overlay with a mask, expose, wipe uncured, overcoat with transparent layer, cure that.

By making peace with Chicago's political boss, Richard Daley, the Nation was able to eliminate most of the police surveillance and harassment against the sect.\n\n\u201cImitating the FBI, Nation of Islam members in Philadelphia destroyed that city's Black Panther Party headquarters in retaliation for the group's public advocacy of Malcolm X's ideas.\n\n\u201cIn 1972, Muhammad negotiated a $3 million interest-free loan from [Libyan dictator] Colonel Muamar Kadafi which was used to expand Black Muslim enterprises. Despite these gains, the Nation of Islam was still plagued by internal dissension.\n\n\u201cOne of the Nation's most dynamic and powerful ministers, Hamaas Abdul Khaalis (Ernest McGhee) denounced the Nation as a corruption of the true faith, Sunni Islam, in 1972. Khaalis declared that Muhammad was \u2018a lying deceiver' and stated that their leader \u2018who inspired former dope addicts and prostitutes to monklike lives of sacrifice, discipline and hard work, was instead stealing his followers' money and leading them to hell'. For devout defenders of Muhammad, Khaalis' challenge could not remain unanswered. On 18 January 1973, at least five armed gunmen, all members of the Nation of Islam, entered Khaalis' Washington, DC, home and butchered five members of his family.\n\n\"With Muhammad's death in 1975, the leadership of the Nation of Islam passed to one of his sons, Wallace. Quickly and efficiently, Wallace Muhammad \u2018Malcolmised' the [sect \u2026 a] mixture of racial mythology and religious dogma promulgated by Elijah Muhammad was abandoned in favour of the orthodox teachings of Islam; whites were permitted to attend services and in some instances even joined the group\u2026\n\n\u201cYet these dramatic changes did not occur without more dissension. Louis Farrakhan, perhaps the most charismatic minister in the Nation after the departure of Malcolm X, had quietly left the Nation by 1978. In February 1981, Farrakhan announced the creation of the \u2018old\u2019 NoI under his direction, following the tenets of Elijah Muhammad. Several thousand blacks soon flocked to Farrakhan\u2019s group.\" (Race Reform and Rebellion, p 177-8)\n\nThe following Farrakhan has built up since 1978 is particularly suprising because of the part he played in the NoI\u2019s feud with Malcolm X. In December 1964, writing as Louis X, Farrakhan wrote, \u201cMalcolm shall not escape\u2026 Malcolm is worthy of death.\" Malcolm was shot down two months later in February 1965.\n\nIn 1994, Malcolm\u2019s widow, Betty Shabazz, was asked on WNBC-TV if she thought Farrakhan had anything to do with her husband\u2019s killing. She answered: \"Of course. Yes\u2026 Nobody kept it a secret. It was a badge of honour. Everybody talked about it. Yes.\"\n\nMoreover, Farrakhan\u2019s NoI has continued Elijah Muhammad's tradition of links with the fascist right \u2014 believing that the Nazis, who also want racial separation, have something in common with the NoI.\n\nIn June 1961 a delegation of American Nazi Party members attended the NoI\u2019s convention in Washington DC.

Khaalis declared that Muhammad was \u2018a lying deceiver' and stated that their leader \u2018who inspired former dope addicts and prostitutes to monklike lives of sacrifice, discipline and hard work, was instead stealing his followers' money and leading them to hell'. For devout defenders of Muhammad, Khaalis' challenge could not remain unanswered. On 18 January 1973, at least five armed gunmen, all members of the Nation of Islam, entered Khaalis' Washington, DC, home and butchered five members of his family.\n\n\"With Muhammad's death in 1975, the leadership of the Nation of Islam passed to one of his sons, Wallace. Quickly and efficiently, Wallace Muhammad \u2018Malcolmised' the [sect \u2026 a] mixture of racial mythology and religious dogma promulgated by Elijah Muhammad was abandoned in favour of the orthodox teachings of Islam; whites were permitted to attend services and in some instances even joined the group\u2026\n\n\u201cYet these dramatic changes did not occur without more dissension. Louis Farrakhan, perhaps the most charismatic minister in the Nation after the departure of Malcolm X, had quietly left the Nation by 1978. In February 1981, Farrakhan announced the creation of the \u2018old\u2019 NoI under his direction, following the tenets of Elijah Muhammad. Several thousand blacks soon flocked to Farrakhan\u2019s group.\" (Race Reform and Rebellion, p 177-8)\n\nThe following Farrakhan has built up since 1978 is particularly suprising because of the part he played in the NoI\u2019s feud with Malcolm X. In December 1964, writing as Louis X, Farrakhan wrote, \u201cMalcolm shall not escape\u2026 Malcolm is worthy of death.\" Malcolm was shot down two months later in February 1965.\n\nIn 1994, Malcolm\u2019s widow, Betty Shabazz, was asked on WNBC-TV if she thought Farrakhan had anything to do with her husband\u2019s killing. She answered: \"Of course. Yes\u2026 Nobody kept it a secret. It was a badge of honour. Everybody talked about it. Yes.\"\n\nMoreover, Farrakhan\u2019s NoI has continued Elijah Muhammad's tradition of links with the fascist right \u2014 believing that the Nazis, who also want racial separation, have something in common with the NoI.\n\nIn June 1961 a delegation of American Nazi Party members attended the NoI\u2019s convention in Washington DC. In 1962 Nazi Party leader George Lincoln Rockwell, dressed in full Nazi regalia, declared to the NoI Chicago convention: \u201cElijah Muhammad is to the so-called Negro what Adolf Hitler was to the German people\u2026 Heil", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 22904, "pt_loc": 133014635, "pt_shuffle_idx": 157999734, "doc_index_f": 247665877, "doc_index_l": 247665879, "offset_f": 5483, "offset_l": 903, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 30, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [363, 782, 904]} +{"pt_doc": "Beckham will pocket a weekly salary of about $213,000 and earn $10 million a year, plus bonuses.<|endoftext|> a hotel downtown, about 8 blocks from here.\n\n\nMARTY (FEMALE): It was always forbidden, but after the first time I couldn't help myself.

We don't necessarily love the way it smells, but we put up with it because it is useful for\u00a0(literally) thousands of things in your home. Plus it's cheap, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly. What more could you ask for in a cleaning product?\n\nSeriously, vinegar is useful for cleaning (it disinfects surfaces), laundry (it softens towels), gardening (it's a great weed killer), and is even healthy for\u00a0your pets and children.\n\nBelow we've listed some of our favorite uses, but there are so many that you could write a book on it. No, wait, they already have. However, to get you started, here are 10 great ways you can add white vinegar into your home.\n\n1. Wash produce\n\nVinegar is known for its household disinfectant properties, so why should it be any different for your food? Use vinegar to help wash away pesticides and bacteria from your produce and\u00a0make sure that your health food is actually healthy.\n\nTo do this, mix three parts water to one part white vinegar and spray your fruit liberally. Don't forget to rise it off though! Vinegar-flavored tomatoes might not be all that nice to eat.\n\n2. Sanitize surfaces\n\nWhile you're washing your produce, you may as well make sure that the surfaces you're setting them on are just as clean.\n\nTherefore, have a spray bottle ready and filled with one part vinegar and one part water so that you can wipe down all your kitchen surfaces before you begin your next culinary masterpiece.\n\n3. Tough towels\n\nIf you towels are more scratchy than fluffy when they come out of the wash, next time try washing them in a cup of white vinegar.\n\nNot only will you save on detergent expenses, but it will also help save\u00a0the environment.\n\n4. Unclog drains\n\nIt's not something that anyone wishes to deal with, but sometimes you have to clear a clogged drain. However, instead of relying on those expensive, toxic cleaners that promise miracles, try a simple solution of baking soda, salt, boiling water, and white vinegar.\n\nIt works just as well, and you know you will always have these ingredients at home should an emergency situation arise.\n\n5. Carpet care\n\nWe all spill things on the carpet. However, thankfully there is a great way to remove those stains before they set in - with products that you almost always have lying around the house.\n\nMix \u00bd cup of baking soda with a tablespoon of salt, and a splash of white vinegar. Apply this paste to the stubborn stain and allow it to dry fully. When it's dry, vacuum it up and the stain should disappear.\n\n6. Crystal clear windows\n\nNow you too can reenact those Windex commercials in your very own home. By wiping off your windows with a mixture of one part white vinegar and 10 parts warm water, you will have the cleanest, clearest windows you have ever imagined.\n\n7. Dissolve sticky residue\n\nCan't get that sticky label off your gift? Accidentally glue your fingers together? Did you dribble honey on the counter? Vinegar is a great multi-purpose solvent. From grease to glue it's there for you.\n\n8. Fight hiccups\n\nThe hiccups are one of the hardest ailments to cure. There are hundreds of remedies, and none of them seem to work. However, it is said that swallowing a teaspoon of vinegar can get rid of them as quickly as they come on.\n\nSo if you've tried everything in the book and are looking for new solution to an age old problem, give vinegar a try.\n\n9. Deter cats\n\nWe aren't going to take a stance on whether or not dogs or cats are better here. Instead, we are just going to hypothesize that unless they are invited into your house or are in an adorable cat video, you don't want them hanging around and doing their business in your children's sandbox or your flower beds.\n\nIf that is the case, then a\u00a0quick and easy solution is to pour undiluted vinegar around the edges of the areas you want to keep off limits.\n\n10. Prevent dandruff\n\nNo one wants\u00a0dandruff. It's not cute. However, sometimes the remedies to banish it are cost prohibitive. Vinegar, on the other hand, is economically ideal and naturally contains acetic acid and water, which works exceptionally well to cure and prevent dandruff.\n\nCan't get enough of white vinegar's magical properties?\u00a0For even more ideas on how", "base_doc": " have three kids, one fat one, one skinny one, and one with an average build, therefore, I average my kids to be of an average build.

We've had more cival wars, revolutions, and less political stability than any other country in North America. Eech time we still get screwd!\n\nSadley for Mexico, Alexander von Humboldt's prediction in 1800 that Mexico (New Spain then) would be the major super power of N. America was dead wrong in spite of Mexico initially having much much greater natural resources than the USA.\n\nMexican Politicians have sqaundered the countries wealth, natural resources, and the Mexico's future through nepotism, ineptitude, greed, and CORRUPTION.\n\nIf EPN wins the election, I advise any Mexican Citizen capable of leaving the country to do so. There is NO future for Mexico when the Dinosaurs are back in power.\n\nMarcoT. in reply to zerge\n\nYou remind me of the Republicans in the United States. You dont love your people. Most importantly you want to keep the same image of Mexico abroad. Whomever you support EPN is the face of corruption and crime, did you read this article? JVM is not as bad, except that her resume is hollow and she has in the past misused funds for the indigenous communities, not really present in congress, hasn't really done anything real for the Mexican people. Obrador, turned around the city of Mexico into one of the Best. Don't you love your country? All it takes is good leadership and honesty! We need in the US a good role model for once. All this crap that we keep getting. Now you may try trick people with the 8yr old Bejarano story that was manufactured by the corrupt and the dirty media wars, but Obrador's legacy of goodwill and love of Mexico follows him wherever he goes.

This stranger who had forced his way into the small shack, a man of enormous size and gait, a man who looked fit to knock over small buildings- this man had just presented Harry with a birthday cake and exclaimed that the Dursleys had been keeping the truth of his parents' deaths from him. At this point, he was a little unsure what to think.\n\n\"Yer a horocrux, Harry.\"\n\n\"I'm a what?\" The boy replied, looking blankly at the giant known as Hagrid.\n\n\"You're a horocrux, Harry.\" There was a beat, then the man's eyes widened as he realized his mistake. He shouted, \"I mean a wizard! Yer a wizard, Harry, yer a wizard.\"\n\n\"Well, what was that other thing? A horo\u2026horocr-\"\n\n\"Nothing!

We don't necessarily love the way it smells, but we put up with it because it is useful for\u00a0(literally) thousands of things in your home. Plus it's cheap, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly. What more could you ask for in a cleaning product?\n\nSeriously, vinegar is useful for cleaning (it disinfects surfaces), laundry (it softens towels), gardening (it's a great weed killer), and is even healthy for\u00a0your pets and children.\n\nBelow we've listed some of our favorite uses, but there are so many that you could write a book on it. No, wait, they already have. However, to get you started, here are 10 great ways you can add white vinegar into your home.\n\n1. Wash produce\n\nVinegar is known for its household disinfectant properties, so why should it be any different for your food? Use vinegar to help wash away pesticides and bacteria from your produce and\u00a0make sure that your health food is actually healthy.\n\nTo do this, mix three parts water to one part white vinegar and spray your fruit liberally. Don't forget to rise it off though! Vinegar-flavored tomatoes might not be all that nice to eat.\n\n2. Sanitize surfaces\n\nWhile you're washing your produce, you may as well make sure that the surfaces you're setting them on are just as clean.\n\nTherefore, have a spray bottle ready and filled with one part vinegar and one part water so that you can wipe down all your kitchen surfaces before you begin your next culinary masterpiece.\n\n3. Tough towels\n\nIf you towels are more scratchy than fluffy when they come out of the wash, next time try washing them in a cup of white vinegar.\n\nNot only will you save on detergent expenses, but it will also help save\u00a0the environment.\n\n4. Unclog drains\n\nIt's not something that anyone wishes to deal with, but sometimes you have to clear a clogged drain. However, instead of relying on those expensive, toxic cleaners that promise miracles, try a simple solution of baking soda, salt, boiling water, and white vinegar.\n\nIt works just as well, and you know you will always have these ingredients at home should an emergency situation arise.\n\n5. Carpet care\n\nWe all spill things on the carpet. However, thankfully there is a great way to remove those stains before they set in - with products that you almost always have lying around the house.\n\nMix \u00bd cup of baking soda with a tablespoon of salt, and a splash of white vinegar. Apply this paste to the stubborn stain and allow it to dry fully. When it's dry, vacuum it up and the stain should disappear.\n\n6. Crystal clear windows\n\nNow you too can reenact those Windex commercials in your very own home. By wiping off your windows with a mixture of one part white vinegar and 10 parts warm water, you will have the cleanest, clearest windows you have ever imagined.\n\n7. Dissolve sticky residue\n\nCan't get that sticky label off your gift? Accidentally glue your fingers together? Did you dribble honey on the counter? Vinegar is a great multi-purpose solvent. From grease to glue it's there for you.\n\n8. Fight hiccups\n\nThe hiccups are one of the hardest ailments to cure. There are hundreds of remedies, and none of them seem to work. However, it is said that swallowing a teaspoon of vinegar can get rid of them as quickly as they come on.\n\nSo if you've tried everything in the book and are looking for new solution to an age old problem, give vinegar a try.\n\n9. Deter cats\n\nWe aren't going to take a stance on whether or not dogs or cats are better here. Instead, we are just going to hypothesize that unless they are invited into your house or are in an adorable cat video, you don't want them hanging around and doing their business in your children's sandbox or your flower beds.\n\nIf that is the case, then a\u00a0quick and easy solution is to pour undiluted vinegar around the edges of the areas you want to keep off limits.\n\n10. Prevent dandruff\n\nNo one wants\u00a0dandruff. It's not cute. However, sometimes the remedies to banish it are cost prohibitive. Vinegar, on the other hand, is economically ideal and naturally contains acetic acid and water, which works exceptionally well to cure and prevent dandruff.\n\nCan't get enough of white vinegar's magical properties?\u00a0For even more ideas on how to", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 26176, "pt_loc": 147795892, "pt_shuffle_idx": 76886420, "doc_index_f": 120522835, "doc_index_l": 120522837, "offset_f": 3377, "offset_l": 1009, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 19, "pt_injection_len": 20, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [631, 408, 1010]} +{"pt_doc": " data about operations and finances, marketing and sales or anything in between, companies are sitting on a considerable amount of information. Part of the challenge this provides, however, is that it can become too much for even a large team of humans to pore over, analyze and give recommendations on. This is where AI and ML\u00a0can play a huge and vital role.\n\nAI can comb through your data and give you detailed information about your customers\u2019 behaviors and find trends that human analysis would likely be unable to uncover. This allows you to create more actionable user segments because consumers\u2019 behavior doesn\u2019t always fit neatly into predetermined demographics.

Using AI can help you go beyond sending your audience a limited set of customized messages. It can allow you to go beyond simple personas and start customizing messaging, creative and offers on an individual basis.\n\n3. Improving Performance Over Time\n\nWith AI and ML, you can use insights from customer data to build better ML models, which improve as more data is added to the system. This means that the more customers the AI reaches, and the more information it gathers about each of them, the better the system performance (the more accurately the system caters to its specified audience). This becomes a continuous cycle of improvement.\n\nIn addition to creating better targeting and personalization, you also can use AI to optimize results. By learning about customer behaviors and applying algorithms or ML, you can use AI to optimize steps within the customer journey. That could be anything from tailoring messages to adjusting the sequence of communications to show customers products, offers or incentives that will cause them to act. This improves the performance of your marketing and customer experience channels over time as you learn what individuals are reacting to, and your ML models will adapt your marketing to favor the higher-performing messages, offers and incentives.\n\nIn order to more effectively reach audiences and increase marketing performance over time, companies are increasingly augmenting their customer experience with AI. From initial marketing communications through the entire customer life cycle, AI allows you to offer the personalized experience that customers have grown to expect.\n\nPublicaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s antigua Publicaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s reciente<|endoftext|>March 31, 2008\n\nSupport Homeschooling: Write to Your Local Newspaper\n\nThe recent events in California have raised the profile of homeschooling and given us an unprecedented opportunity to educate more people about the benefits of homeschooling.\n\nHundreds of media outlets have already covered the story fairly, but there are many thousands more who could write a positive homeschool related article.

Depending on the circumstances of your child's oral health, we may recommend more frequent visits.\n\n\nBaby teeth fall out anyway, so why do they need special care?\nPrimary, or \"baby,\" teeth are important for many reasons. Not only do they help your child speak clearly, smile beautifully and chew naturally, they also hold space in the jaw for the permanent teeth, forming a path for them to follow when they are ready to erupt. If a child loses a tooth too early (due to trauma or decay) the other teeth around them may shift, resulting in crooked or misplaced permanent teeth. Also, your child's general health is affected by the oral health of the teeth and gums.\n\n\nWhat's the best way to clean my baby's teeth?\nEven before your baby's first tooth appears, we recommend you clean his gums after feedings with a damp, soft washcloth. As soon as his first tooth appears, you can start using a toothbrush. Be sure to choose a toothbrush with soft bristles and a small head, preferably one designed specifically for infants. A toothbrush will remove plaque bacteria that can lead to decay and should be used at least once a day at bedtime.\n\n\nOnce your child has a few teeth, you can start using toothpaste on the brush. Use only a tiny amount, and be sure to choose toothpaste without fluoride for children under two, because too much fluoride can be dangerous for very young children. Teach your child to rinse and spit out toothpaste after brushing, which will help form a lifelong habit he'll need when he graduates to fluoride toothpaste. Children naturally want to swallow toothpaste after brushing, and swallowing too much fluoride toothpaste can cause teeth to stain. Fluoridated toothpaste should be introduced when a child is 2-3 years of age. Parents should supervise brushing and make sure the child uses no more than a pea-sized amount on the brush.\n\n\nHow do I know if my child is getting enough fluoride?\n\nHave your pediatric dentist evaluate the fluoride level of your child's primary source of drinking water. If your child is not getting enough fluoride internally, then your pediatric dentist may prescribe fluoride supplements.\n\n\nWhat causes cavities?\nCertain types of bacteria naturally live in our mouths. When these bacteria come into contact with sugary foods left behind on our teeth, they produce acids. These acids attack the tooth enamel (outer, protective layer) and eventually eat through the enamel, creating holes in the teeth, which we call cavities.\n\n\nHow can I help my child avoid cavities?\nBe sure that your child brushes his teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Flossing daily is also important, because flossing can remove food debris between the teeth that the bristles of a toothbrush cannot reach. Check with your pediatric dentist about a fluoride supplement which helps harden the tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. Avoid sugary foods and drinks, limit snacking, and eat a healthy diet. The final key to preventing cavities is maintaining regular check-up appointments so that we can monitor the health of your child's teeth and provide professional cleanings.\n\n\n\n\nHow can I prevent decay caused by nursing?\n\nAvoid nursing children to sleep or putting anything other than water in their bed-time bottle. Also, learn the proper way to brush and floss your child's teeth. Beginning around their first birthday, take your child to a pediatric dentist regularly to have their teeth and gums checked.\n\n\nDoes my child need dental sealants?\nSealants work by filling in the deep crevasses on the chewing surfaces of the teeth. This blocks food particles from getting caught in the teeth and causing cavities. The application is fast and comfortable and can effectively protect teeth for many years. We recommend sealants as a safe and simple way to help prevent cavities.\n\n\nMy child plays sports. How can I protect his teeth?\nWe recommend mouthguards for children active in sports. If your little one plays basketball, soccer, hockey or other sports, ask us about having a custom-fitted mouthguard made to protect his teeth, lips, cheeks, and gums. Also, please always make sure your child wears a helmet when riding a bicycle, as it can help prevent severe injuries to the head, face and oral structures.\n\n\nWhat should I do if my child sucks his thumb or uses a pacifier?\n\n\n\n\nWhen should my child have dental X-rays taken?\nThis decision is extremely variable and will depend on the doctor\u2019s clinical examination or your child\u2019s mouth. Typically speaking, we recommend taking an initial set of x-rays around the age of three. The first set consists of simple pictures of the front upper and lower teeth, which familiarizes your child with the process. Once the baby teeth in back are touching one another, regular x-rays are recommended to detect cavities between the teeth that may not be visible in the mouth. Permanent teeth start coming in around age six, and x-rays help us make sure your child's teeth and jaw are healthy and properly aligned. If your child is at a high risk of dental problems, we may suggest having x-rays taken at an earlier age or more frequently, but the decision is always based on a thorough examination of your child\u2019s specific condition.\n\n\nHow safe are dental X-rays?\n\nThere is very little risk in dental X-rays. Pediatric dentists are especially careful to limit the amount of radiation to which children are exposed. Lead aprons and digital radiography (lower radiation) are used in our office to ensure safety and minimize the amount of radiation.\n\n\n\nThe most important thing to do is to remain calm. Find the tooth and do your best to hold it by the crown rather than the root. You may gently rinse the tooth with saline or milk to remove any debris, being careful to only touch the crown with your fingers. If the entire root is still intact, try to reinsert it in the socket. If that is not possible, put the tooth in a glass of milk and take your child and the glass immediately to your pediatric dentist. Please note that baby teeth are generally not reinserted in the socket due to the risk of damage to the developing permanent tooth beneath it, however your child should still be seen by your pediatric dentist promptly.\n\n\nWhat should I do if my child has a toothache?\n\nFirst, rinse the irritated area with warm water and use floss to dislodge any food that might be stuck in the tooth or gums. Give the child acetaminophen (tylenol) for any pain, according to the weight/dosage chart on the bottle. Do NOT place an aspirin directly on the teeth or gums. If the face is swollen, place a cold compress on the area and call our office immediately. A swollen face is a sign of a very serious infection requiring prompt attention.\n\n\nWhat if a child is unable to cooperate for treatment?\n\nWe try to help your child feel good about visiting the dentist. Our main concern is what is best for your child. If a child is especially fearful, nitrous oxide, sedation, or general anesthesia may be recommended.\n\n\n\nDisclaimer: Dr. Natasha Larson makes no warranties, express or implied, as to results to be obtained from use of the above information.

Depending on the circumstances of your child's oral health, we may recommend more frequent visits.\n\n\nBaby teeth fall out anyway, so why do they need special care?\nPrimary, or \"baby,\" teeth are important for many reasons. Not only do they help your child speak clearly, smile beautifully and chew naturally, they also hold space in the jaw for the permanent teeth, forming a path for them to follow when they are ready to erupt. If a child loses a tooth too early (due to trauma or decay) the other teeth around them may shift, resulting in crooked or misplaced permanent teeth. Also, your child's general health is affected by the oral health of the teeth and gums.\n\n\nWhat's the best way to clean my baby's teeth?\nEven before your baby's first tooth appears, we recommend you clean his gums after feedings with a damp, soft washcloth. As soon as his first tooth appears, you can start using a toothbrush. Be sure to choose a toothbrush with soft bristles and a small head, preferably one designed specifically for infants. A toothbrush will remove plaque bacteria that can lead to decay and should be used at least once a day at bedtime.\n\n\nOnce your child has a few teeth, you can start using toothpaste on the brush. Use only a tiny amount, and be sure to choose toothpaste without fluoride for children under two, because too much fluoride can be dangerous for very young children. Teach your child to rinse and spit out toothpaste after brushing, which will help form a lifelong habit he'll need when he graduates to fluoride toothpaste. Children naturally want to swallow toothpaste after brushing, and swallowing too much fluoride toothpaste can cause teeth to stain. Fluoridated toothpaste should be introduced when a child is 2-3 years of age. Parents should supervise brushing and make sure the child uses no more than a pea-sized amount on the brush.\n\n\nHow do I know if my child is getting enough fluoride?\n\nHave your pediatric dentist evaluate the fluoride level of your child's primary source of drinking water. If your child is not getting enough fluoride internally, then your pediatric dentist may prescribe fluoride supplements.\n\n\nWhat causes cavities?\nCertain types of bacteria naturally live in our mouths. When these bacteria come into contact with sugary foods left behind on our teeth, they produce acids. These acids attack the tooth enamel (outer, protective layer) and eventually eat through the enamel, creating holes in the teeth, which we call cavities.\n\n\nHow can I help my child avoid cavities?\nBe sure that your child brushes his teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Flossing daily is also important, because flossing can remove food debris between the teeth that the bristles of a toothbrush cannot reach. Check with your pediatric dentist about a fluoride supplement which helps harden the tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. Avoid sugary foods and drinks, limit snacking, and eat a healthy diet. The final key to preventing cavities is maintaining regular check-up appointments so that we can monitor the health of your child's teeth and provide professional cleanings.\n\n\n\n\nHow can I prevent decay caused by nursing?\n\nAvoid nursing children to sleep or putting anything other than water in their bed-time bottle. Also, learn the proper way to brush and floss your child's teeth. Beginning around their first birthday, take your child to a pediatric dentist regularly to have their teeth and gums checked.\n\n\nDoes my child need dental sealants?\nSealants work by filling in the deep crevasses on the chewing surfaces of the teeth. This blocks food particles from getting caught in the teeth and causing cavities. The application is fast and comfortable and can effectively protect teeth for many years. We recommend sealants as a safe and simple way to help prevent cavities.\n\n\nMy child plays sports. How can I protect his teeth?\nWe recommend mouthguards for children active in sports. If your little one plays basketball, soccer, hockey or other sports, ask us about having a custom-fitted mouthguard made to protect his teeth, lips, cheeks, and gums. Also, please always make sure your child wears a helmet when riding a bicycle, as it can help prevent severe injuries to the head, face and oral structures.\n\n\nWhat should I do if my child sucks his thumb or uses a pacifier?\n\n\n\n\nWhen should my child have dental X-rays taken?\nThis decision is extremely variable and will depend on the doctor\u2019s clinical examination or your child\u2019s mouth.

The terminal can also be unlocked with the access codes, which the player character receives by obtaining either a Lucky 38 VIP keycard or the platinum chip. Opening the door via the terminal will immediately turn the Securitrons hostile and fail The House Always Wins if the quest is active. In addition, there are miscellaneous items and furniture, including safe storage containers and a bed the player character can sleep in.\n\n\n \u2022 If the player character kills Mr. House, Jane will disappear, removing the option of selling snow globes. The achievement can still be unlocked, as the player character just needs to collect all seven to get the achievement, but the snow globes will not leave the inventory and cannot be placed on the stand in the Lucky 38 presidential suite.\n \u2022 Almost everything in the Lucky 38 is marked \"unowned\" and can be taken with no Karma penalty.\n \u2022 Accessing the exterior penthouse via the console command tcl will reveal a door that can't be accessed.

The crowds are cheering him.\n\n\u00a0Michael He's sending his followers to get him a beast to ride through the crowd. Is he going to ride in on a warhorse and proclaim the Kingdom?\n\n\u00a0Raphael No, it's a donkey. The beast of the king who comes in peace. Oh, clever, clever. He's riding in as King, but not a king who's going to overthrow the Romans by force. The sign's there for everyone to read it.\n\n\u00a0Uriel They haven't proved too bright so far.

He's had the meal with his followers. One of them's gone out to get something, and he'll meet up with them later on that hill with the olive trees, the garden where they often go.\n\n\u00a0Raphael There are undercurrents, though, Uriel. What about the words he said about betrayal, just before Judas went out?\n\n\u00a0Uriel Perhaps he won't be able to get whatever it is. Perhaps it's important.\n\n\u00a0Raphael I think it's important, all right. But it looks as if he's got it. Look.\n\n\u00a0Michael Aren't those some of the chief priests' guard?\n\n\u00a0Gabriel Why would he be bringing them?\n\n\u00a0Michael And he's not paying over money. He's being given some. What's happening?\n\n\u00a0Raphael Betrayal. Look at him. He's praying. Praying that he'll be spared the trial that's coming.\n\n\u00a0Michael He never did that in the desert, when he was facing - that other one.\n\n\u00a0Raphael No; he prayed that he would be able to get through it, but not that it wouldn't happen. I have a bad feeling about this.\n\n\u00a0Gabriel I want to go down to him. Look at him.\n\n\u00a0Raphael Not without orders, Gabby.\n\n\u00a0Gabriel (miserably) I know.\n\n\u00a0Michael I think I see it.\n\n\u00a0Raphael What?\n\n\u00a0Michael Judas. Judah. It's the same name - it's just changed a bit over time. Remember the original Judah? He sold his brother for silver.\n\n\u00a0Raphael And ended up offering himself up for his other brother. You think that will happen again?\n\n\u00a0Michael Bound to. He'll give himself up to redeem him, you wait and see.\n\n\u00a0Gabriel And Abraham.\n\n\u00a0Michael What about him, Gabby?\n\n\u00a0Gabriel Remember? \"God will provide the lamb, my son.\" It's another test.

He's not even saying very much.\n\n\u00a0Raphael Romans aren't as impressed with signs as Egyptians.\n\n\u00a0Michael What have the Romans got to do with it? He's being tried by the High Priest.\n\n\u00a0Raphael High priests are even less impressed by signs - at least, these modern ones are. And the High Priest doesn't have authority to execute anyone.\n\n\u00a0Gabriel Execute? But they can't do that.\n\n\u00a0Raphael They can try.\n\n\u00a0Uriel They'll have us to face if they do.\n\n\u00a0Raphael Weren't you listening in the garden when they came for him? He could call on us if he wants; but he won't.\n\n\u00a0Michael Why not? We're his armies, aren't we?\n\n\u00a0Uriel His armies? We're God's armies.\n\n\u00a0Raphael I think that may be the point....\n\n\u00a0Gabriel Look! The high priest hasn't been able to get anything out of him, so they're taking him to the Romans.\n\n\u00a0Raphael This won't be pretty. Romans don't like the Jews much. If one's given to them, they'll take full advantage.\n\n\u00a0Uriel A moment ago, you were implying that he's a little more than just another Jew...\n\n\u00a0Raphael Yes. But the Romans don't know that, and wouldn't believe if they were told it.\n\n\u00a0Gabriel Just what are you saying, Rafe?

It's intolerable.\n\n\u00a0Raphael It's a good deal worse for him, Mike.\n\n\u00a0Michael You know what I mean.\n\n\u00a0Raphael Remember Joseph, and how that turned out.\n\n\u00a0Michael Joseph got put in prison - where he was well treated and gained the trust of the jailer. He didn't have to carry a cross up a hill.\n\n\u00a0Gabriel God will provide the lamb. Surely he will. It's even on the same hill where that happened.\n\n\u00a0Uriel Well, it won't be Judas. Look there.\n\n\u00a0Raphael He's hanged himself.\n\n\u00a0Gabriel If he wanted to die, why didn't he give himself up in Jesus' place, like Judah did for Benjamin?\n\n\u00a0Michael He doesn't have Judah's courage. Or love to motivate him, like Judah did. Love for his father.\n\n\u00a0Uriel If you ask me, it'll be more like Samson. He'll die, and take the rest with him.\n\n\u00a0Gabriel Must you be so bloodthirsty, Uriel?\n\n\u00a0Uriel Thirst has nothing to do with it. I just know how these things go.\n\n\u00a0Raphael I think there might be more to it than that.... Ugh.\n\nMichael Nails in the hands. And these Romans call themselves soldiers. That's not soldierly.\n\n\u00a0Gabriel turns away and hides his face.\n\n\u00a0Raphael It's not too late yet.\n\n\u00a0Uriel Sometimes it takes them several days to die like this.\n\n\u00a0Michael Thank you for that comforting thought.\n\n\u00a0They watch for a short time in silence.\n\n\u00a0Raphael The sky's gone dark.\n\nGabriel It's like the end of the world.

Very bad.\n\n\u00a0Michael gets up and begins to pace, carrying his spear. He weighs it in his hands as if longing to use it. Uriel draws his sword, pulls out a whetstone and sharpens the blade.\n\nGabriel Stop that! Sorry, Uriel, but the noise gets on my nerves.\n\n\u00a0Uriel shrugs and puts the whetstone away, gets out a polishing cloth instead and polishes the sword.\n\n\u00a0Raphael It must be soon now.

I like the examples she provides such as \u201cThe Great Depression\u201d and \u201cThe Great Recession\u201d as those phrases correlate with specific moments of time in history. I find the perspective of the phrase \u201cThe Great Resignation\u201d being limited to be quite interesting. I understand the point the author makes that the term does not explain why people are leaving their jobs. However, with the other phrases they gave as examples, people need to understand the context of what was going on to fully understand the severity of those periods of time. I feel that it is no different when referring to this term. Despite me not fully agreeing with this point, I like how the authors talk about how the wellbeing of people should be a bigger conversation point when referring to this term.\n I think in this sense, I can understand the author\u2019s perspective that this term deemphasizes some important issues that coincide with why people have been leaving their jobs. After this point, I like how she brings forward terms that she feels are more appropriate to this point in time. I agree with her that those two terms summarize this point of time better than \u201cThe Great Resignation\u201d does. I also think these examples transitioned perfectly into her final remarks about the importance of a name. Overall, I am glad I read this article. As I said before, I was skeptical heading into the article. But admittedly, she did make a good argument about what is wrong with the term and why we should take these terms more seriously when creating them and recognizing them.\n\nLeave a Reply\n<|endoftext|>Asked by: Aminta Bonada\nasked in category: General Last Updated: 3rd April, 2020\n\nWhat are impersonal expressions in French?\n\nImpersonal expressions consist of an impersonal subject (\"it\" in English; il or ce in French) and the verb \u00eatre followed by an adjective.

This, in turn, is under the governance of the renin, angiotensin, aldosterone axis. In heart failure, there is an abnormal set point of this axis, so the body attempts vigorously to retain fluid and sodium to maintain the forward cardiac output. This can go too far and have deleterious effects.

The flu, or influenza, is caused by viruses, which are very small germs. Some viruses including the one that causes the flu are easily spread among people. The flu can present as a relatively minor illness in young,healthy people; but it can become a very serious illness in senior citizens,particularly those with a history of conditions such as diabetes or heart disease.\nFlu symptoms generally last for one to two weeks, but the flu can become more serious than that. While your body is working to fight off the flu, you may be more susceptible to other infections such as pneumonia. Senior citizens are especially likely to face experience complications with the flu.\nThe flu is highly contagious and easily spreads from person to person, often through the air. It is possible foryou to spread the flu to someone else before you even feel symptoms, and you remain contagious for several days after you begin to feel ill. You may contract the flu if someone has the illness and sneezes or coughs near you. It is also possible to get the flu if you touch something that has the flu virus on it(like a doorknob or phone) and then touch your nose or mouth.\nThe virus can exist on surfaces for hours, so it is very important to wash your hands well when you know you have been in contact with someone who has the flu. Be sure to always wash your hands before eating and touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. If you can, try to stay away from someone you know is sick.\nDistinguishing Between the Flu and a Cold\nAlthough flu and colds have similar symptoms, they can be differentiated by a few traits. A cold is usually milder than the flu; but since the flu can cause serious problems, it is important to recognize the differences.\nNormal symptoms of the flu include fever, chills, dry cough, aches and pains, headache, and fatigue. Some people with the flu may experience sore throat, sneezing, stuffy nose, or stomach problems, but those symptoms are not as common. The flu is a different virus from what some people call the \"stomach flu,\" which mainly causes digestive problems.\nGetting an annual flu shot, which contains the flu vaccine, can help you stay in good health. Many insurance plans will pay for the shot, which you can get at a doctor's office or the local health department. Many grocery stores and pharmacies also offer the flu shot during a certain time of year. Although the shot cannot guarantee health for everyone, getting the shot every year can decrease the likelihood of catching the flu or minimize symptoms if you do catch it.\nIt is recommended that senior citizens age 50 and older should get a flu shot once a year. Additionally, anyone who lives with or provides the elder care for a senior citizen should also get the flu shot each year.\nThe peak season for getting the flu,referred to as \"flu season,\" is November through April. Since the effects of", "base_doc": " article continued, I started to see why she felt the need to make this article and share his perspective.\n First of all, I like how the author stresses how names represent moments in time. I like the examples she provides such as \u201cThe Great Depression\u201d and \u201cThe Great Recession\u201d as those phrases correlate with specific moments of time in history. I find the perspective of the phrase \u201cThe Great Resignation\u201d being limited to be quite interesting. I understand the point the author makes that the term does not explain why people are leaving their jobs. However, with the other phrases they gave as examples, people need to understand the context of what was going on to fully understand the severity of those periods of time. I feel that it is no different when referring to this term. Despite me not fully agreeing with this point, I like how the authors talk about how the wellbeing of people should be a bigger conversation point when referring to this term.\n I think in this sense, I can understand the author\u2019s perspective that this term deemphasizes some important issues that coincide with why people have been leaving their jobs. After this point, I like how she brings forward terms that she feels are more appropriate to this point in time. I agree with her that those two terms summarize this point of time better than \u201cThe Great Resignation\u201d does. I also think these examples transitioned perfectly into her final remarks about the importance of a name. Overall, I am glad I read this article. As I said before, I was skeptical heading into the article. But admittedly, she did make a good argument about what is wrong with the term and why we should take these terms more seriously when creating them and recognizing them.\n\nLeave a Reply\n<|endoftext|>Asked by: Aminta Bonada\nasked in category: General Last Updated: 3rd April, 2020\n\nWhat are impersonal expressions in French?\n\nImpersonal expressions consist of an impersonal subject (\"it\" in English; il or ce in French) and the verb \u00eatre followed by an adjective.

Originally, glans is integrated with urethral sponge, because the urethral sponge surrounds the urethra and forward form glans and urethra, it is different with the anatomical structure of two penis sponges.

Check the vesting schedule to make sure you\u2019re not leaving money on the table when you depart for your next job.\n\nMoving on has become quite the popular career move lately.\n\nThe official government stat tracking folks who quit their job hit an all-time high in three different months last year.[1] And it looks like the I\u2019m outta here movement still has plenty of steam. According to a Fidelity survey, nearly half of adults under the age of 35 say they are likely to be in the market to make a job change.[2]\n\nAs liberating and invigorating as it can be to make a move to a better job, or maybe take some time off, it also puts you at greater risk of screwing up your retirement planning.\n\nIf you had a 401(k) at your old job, once you quit you have a maddening array of choices about what to do with it,\u00a0including cashing it out. Which, let\u2019s face it, is appealing if you need a break for a few months to hit the reset button, or want to be able to wait to land the job you truly want, or need a cushion to launch into full-time self-employment.\n\nThat said, cashing out comes at a high cost that deserves careful consideration.\n\n\u201cYour investments are the one place where you aren\u2019t trading time for money, in fact you are making money in your sleep,\u201d says Nick Foulks, of Great Waters Financial, a Minneapolis wealth management firm. Cash out and you have irrevocably given up the future compound growth of that money.\n\nAnd then there\u2019s the challenge of what\u2019s next retirement-savings-wise. Maybe you land at a new job that doesn\u2019t pony up a workplace plan; just 50% of private sector workers offer this benefit.[3] That lands you in the same risk pool as folks going the self-employed route: Your future retirement security depends on you setting up your own retirement savings ASAP.\n\nEven if your next job comes with a 401(k), there are plenty of potholes to navigate around there as well.\n\n\u201cDon\u2019t let things happen by default; make decisions by deliberation,\u201d advises Catherine Collinson, president of the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies. After all, it\u2019s your retirement that\u2019s on the line.\n\nHere are potential retirement savings pitfalls to consider when you job hop, and how you can navigate around them.\n\nAbout Your Old 401(k) \u2026\n\nInside this article\n\n 1. You\u2019re out of your plan\n 2. Cashing out\n 3. Leaving the money alone\n 4. You have company stock\n 5. Retiring early\n 6. No retirement plan\n 7. A delayed start\n 8. Auto-enrollment\n 9. Mistiming your next job\n\nRisk 1: Your ex employer kicks you out of your plan\n\nThis can happen if you have less than $5,000 saved in the plan. There are two ways this plays out:\n\nThe plan sends you a check for the account balance. If you keep the money, rather than reinvest it in another retirement plan, such as an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), you are going to owe the IRS some serious change. Sixty days after that check is cut, it is deemed to be a withdrawal. That means you owe a 10% early withdrawal penalty if you are younger than 55 in the year you leave a job, as well as owing income tax\u00a0on the withdrawal.\n\nThe plan moves your money into an IRA. Yep, they can do this. And it may be a super helpful way to keep you on the saving straight-and-narrow. But there\u2019s one big caveat: If the IRA they moved you into charges high fees (more on this soon), you don\u2019t want to leave it there. With just a small amount of elbow grease, you can move the money to an IRA at any discount brokerage, and from there you will be able to invest in super-low-cost index mutual funds or exchange traded funds.\n\nRisk 2: You want to cash out, and use the money for a really good reason.\n\nOnce you leave a job, you are allowed to withdraw the money in your account. Foulks, of Great Waters Financial, totally gets that the motivation to cash out is often well-placed amid the Great Resignation. \u201cFor many people, the idea is to use the money to lower their monthly expenses, or stretch the period of time they don\u2019t have to work, or reduce the type of pay necessary for the work they want to do.\u201d\n\nGood intentions can still be a costly mistake. Use that money now, and you\u2019ve raided your retirement savings and lost a whole lot of future compound growth. That $10,000 today that you leave marinating for another 35 years will be worth more than $75,000, assuming a 6% annualized rate of return.\n\nMoreover, Foulks warns that when you cash out you could be walking into an IRS hellscape. As mentioned earlier, if you are under age 55 when you leave a job and then cash out, you will owe a 10% early withdrawal penalty, plus income tax. That not only reduces what you actually pocket, but Foulks warns that in the process, by reporting more income you could end up bumping yourself into a higher tax bracket for the year.\n\nRisk 3: You just leave it where it is.\n\nAs long as you have at least $5,000 in your account, many\u00a0plans will let you leave the money parked right where it is. Granted, that\u2019s a lot better than cashing out. But it can still be a mistake because:\n\nYour old employer\u2019s plan is expensive. OK, with full apologies, it\u2019s sort of important to wade into some fin-jargon right now. Your 401(k) account is invested in one or more funds. And each fund charges an annual fee. It\u2019s called the expense ratio (ER), and is deducted from a fund\u2019s gross return before crediting your account with the net (after ER) return.\n\nSome funds have super-low ERs, others not so much. The less you pay in this fee, the more of your money keeps growing for your retirement.\n\nFor stock funds inside a 401(k), the average ER is around 0.40% per year.[4] That means if your fund gains 10%, your account will be credited with a 9.6% return. Seems piddly, but it adds up.\n\nLet\u2019s say there are two identical stock index funds. One is inside your 401(k) and charges an 0.50% ER. The other owns the same exact stocks tracking the same exact index, but you bought it at a discount brokerage where you moved your money into an IRA (more on this soon, don\u2019t worry), and that fund charges 0.10%. If we assume you have $25,000 in both today, and the index (before expenses) returns an annualized 6%, over 30 years, your investment in the more expensive fund will be worth around $125,000 compared to nearly $140,000 in the less expensive fund.\u00a0That\u2019s $15,000 more just because you care about paying low expenses.\n\nYour old employer\u2019s plan doesn\u2019t", "base_doc": " an irreversible deepening of the voice.\n\nIt\u2019s important to note that condoms should be used if having intercourse while taking non-contraceptive treatments for endometriosis because they may affect a developing baby.\n\nKeyhole surgery can remove larger patches of endometriosis but larger cysts may require an operation. If other treatments have failed and the patient\u2019s family is complete (or they do not want children) a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) and removal of the ovaries may be suggested.\n\nEndometriosis and pregnancy\n\nThe longer a woman has endometriosis the more her fertility will be affected, which may influence decisions about family planning. Surgical treatment can improve the chances of conceiving and having endometriosis does not put pregnancies at risk. Pregnancy can also reduce the symptoms of endometriosis but they may recur afterwards.\n\nWhat\u2019s the take home message?\n\n\u2022 Treatment depends on symptoms and the condition may settle down by itself.\n\u2022 After successful treatment, symptoms may recur.\n\u2022 But remember, endometriosis is not a cancerous condition.\n\nHere are some useful links:\n\n\n \u2022 googleplus\n \u2022 linkedin\n \u2022 rss\n \u2022 pinterest\n\nWritten by Josephine Fagan\n\nJosephine works as a doctor in urgent and primary care.

Which, let\u2019s face it, is appealing if you need a break for a few months to hit the reset button, or want to be able to wait to land the job you truly want, or need a cushion to launch into full-time self-employment.\n\nThat said, cashing out comes at a high cost that deserves careful consideration.\n\n\u201cYour investments are the one place where you aren\u2019t trading time for money, in fact you are making money in your sleep,\u201d says Nick Foulks, of Great Waters Financial, a Minneapolis wealth management firm. Cash out and you have irrevocably given up the future compound growth of that money.\n\nAnd then there\u2019s the challenge of what\u2019s next retirement-savings-wise. Maybe you land at a new job that doesn\u2019t pony up a workplace plan; just 50% of private sector workers offer this benefit.[3] That lands you in the same risk pool as folks going the self-employed route: Your future retirement security depends on you setting up your own retirement savings ASAP.\n\nEven if your next job comes with a 401(k), there are plenty of potholes to navigate around there as well.\n\n\u201cDon\u2019t let things happen by default; make decisions by deliberation,\u201d advises Catherine Collinson, president of the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies. After all, it\u2019s your retirement that\u2019s on the line.\n\nHere are potential retirement savings pitfalls to consider when you job hop, and how you can navigate around them.\n\nAbout Your Old 401(k) \u2026\n\nInside this article\n\n 1. You\u2019re out of your plan\n 2. Cashing out\n 3. Leaving the money alone\n 4. You have company stock\n 5. Retiring early\n 6. No retirement plan\n 7. A delayed start\n 8. Auto-enrollment\n 9. Mistiming your next job\n\nRisk 1: Your ex employer kicks you out of your plan\n\nThis can happen if you have less than $5,000 saved in the plan. There are two ways this plays out:\n\nThe plan sends you a check for the account balance. If you keep the money, rather than reinvest it in another retirement plan, such as an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), you are going to owe the IRS some serious change. Sixty days after that check is cut, it is deemed to be a withdrawal. That means you owe a 10% early withdrawal penalty if you are younger than 55 in the year you leave a job, as well as owing income tax\u00a0on the withdrawal.\n\nThe plan moves your money into an IRA. Yep, they can do this. And it may be a super helpful way to keep you on the saving straight-and-narrow. But there\u2019s one big caveat: If the IRA they moved you into charges high fees (more on this soon), you don\u2019t want to leave it there. With just a small amount of elbow grease, you can move the money to an IRA at any discount brokerage, and from there you will be able to invest in super-low-cost index mutual funds or exchange traded funds.\n\nRisk 2: You want to cash out, and use the money for a really good reason.\n\nOnce you leave a job, you are allowed to withdraw the money in your account. Foulks, of Great Waters Financial, totally gets that the motivation to cash out is often well-placed amid the Great Resignation. \u201cFor many people, the idea is to use the money to lower their monthly expenses, or stretch the period of time they don\u2019t have to work, or reduce the type of pay necessary for the work they want to do.\u201d\n\nGood intentions can still be a costly mistake. Use that money now, and you\u2019ve raided your retirement savings and lost a whole lot of future compound growth. That $10,000 today that you leave marinating for another 35 years will be worth more than $75,000, assuming a 6% annualized rate of return.\n\nMoreover, Foulks warns that when you cash out you could be walking into an IRS hellscape. As mentioned earlier, if you are under age 55 when you leave a job and then cash out, you will owe a 10% early withdrawal penalty, plus income tax. That not only reduces what you actually pocket, but Foulks warns that in the process, by reporting more income you could end up bumping yourself into a higher tax bracket for the year.\n\nRisk 3: You just leave it where it is.\n\nAs long as you have at least $5,000 in your account, many\u00a0plans will let you leave the money parked right where it is. Granted, that\u2019s a lot better than cashing out. But it can still be a mistake because:\n\nYour old employer\u2019s plan is expensive. OK, with full apologies, it\u2019s sort of important to wade into some fin-jargon right now. Your 401(k) account is invested in one or more funds. And each fund charges an annual fee. It\u2019s called the expense ratio (ER), and is deducted from a fund\u2019s gross return before crediting your account with the net (after ER) return.\n\nSome funds have super-low ERs, others not so much. The less you pay in this fee, the more of your money keeps growing for your retirement.\n\nFor stock funds inside a 401(k), the average ER is around 0.40% per year.[4] That means if your fund gains 10%, your account will be credited with a 9.6% return. Seems piddly, but it adds up.\n\nLet\u2019s say there are two identical stock index funds. One is inside your 401(k) and charges an 0.50% ER. The other owns the same exact stocks tracking the same exact index, but you bought it at a discount brokerage where you moved your money into an IRA (more on this soon, don\u2019t worry), and that fund charges 0.10%. If we assume you have $25,000 in both today, and the index (before expenses) returns an annualized 6%, over 30 years, your investment in the more expensive fund will be worth around $125,000 compared to nearly $140,000 in the less expensive fund.\u00a0That\u2019s $15,000 more just because you care about paying low expenses.\n\nYour old employer\u2019s plan doesn\u2019t have low-cost index mutual funds. There are two broad approaches to investing. Hire a manager to pick the investments (", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 39264, "pt_loc": 152018441, "pt_shuffle_idx": 44400909, "doc_index_f": 69596783, "doc_index_l": 69596784, "offset_f": 1045, "offset_l": 1747, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 25, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [301, 1748]} +{"pt_doc": "He was the posthumous child of Sir Henry Thrale, 1st Baronet, his mother was the sister of the brewer John Lade.<|endoftext|> to meet.\n\nCONAN: Let's see if we'd get another caller in. This is Joe(ph). Joe is on the line from Cincinnati.\n\nJOE: Hi there. Great show. I love it.\n\nCONAN: Thank you.\n\nJOE: I'm just wondering what kind of strings they use on the sitar. I play a guitar myself. Does he have nylon strings, plain strings, they use gut strings?\n\nCONAN: What kind of string is on a sitar?\n\nSILVER: That's a wonderful, precise question. Basically, the closest thing I can say is harpsichord wire or piano wire. When they played the sitar - even though it's allegedly several hundred years old, as far as I could tell, it's not more than 150 years old, and every sitar I've seen uses steel strings. If you're playing a deep - the deepest bass string that Ravi Shankar played - I'm not certain because I don't play that style - might have been a wound string. But otherwise, it's piano wire. It's 11 thousandths, 10 thousandths, 12 thousandths and brass wire for the lower string or lower strings.\n\nJOE: Great. Thank you.\n\nCONAN: Thanks for the call, Joe. And we were hearing about a technician. Do you need a technician to maintain your sitar?\n\nSILVER: Well, yes. I mean, when I first learned, starting back in 1964, a year before George Harrison, I must say...\n\n\nSILVER: ...when I came back, I had to maintain the instrument myself and I learned by watching the craftsman. It's mainly filing the bridge. The distinctive sound of a sitar is the twang, or as one of my students once said, sort of the dental drill effect. And that's because the string comes off the bridge at an angle as opposed to a guitar bridge where it's a straight string on the bridge which gives it that distinctive high-overtone sound. Well, you have to file the bridge so that on every note on the 22 frets or the notes pulled to the side has to have basically the same sound quality.\n\nSo you have to file that yourself. But you get old and you get a little lazy and if Tony Karasek is down there in North Carolina and comes to Washington and can do - redo the bridge for you, we appreciate that.\n\nCONAN: And obviously the accompanying instrument most often associated with the sitar is tabla, a kind of drum.\n\nExactly. The tabla is a pair of drums. I mean, we're sitting here in a studio where nobody can see, but the right-hand drum, very uniquely, is tuned to the tonic that either the vocalists is singing or the instrument is - instrumentalist is playing, and the left-hand drum is kind of loose and by a variance of boom, boom. The heel of the left hand, unless you're a left-handed player...\n\nLeft-handed player, yes.\n\nSILVER: a different pitch, and a deep bass effect. And that is the common accompanying instrument for the sitar.\n\nCONAN: We're talking with sitar player Brian Q. Silver about the great Ravi Shankar who died yesterday. You're listening to TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News. And we were listening earlier to parts of Shankar's \"Raga Jog.\" Let's go back..\n\nSILVER: They pronounce it \"Raga Jog.\"\n\nCONAN: Jog, oh...\n\nSILVER: It's spelled jog, but it's pronounced jog.\n\nCONAN: Jog. Well, thank you for correcting me. This I wanted to play because I think we're going to get some rhythmic changes here. Tell us what's going on.\n\n\nSILVER: Right now, actually, he's still playing solo sitar, but he's playing a section called jala, where you hit the melodic strings in fast interaction with the upper-drawn strings. So the - technically, we call it ching-ching so you hear this. Now, those are the sympathetic strings which he just played with his little finger of his right hand. Now he's getting into the rhythmic composition known as the gut. And since the tabla player has been sitting there very patiently for a long time, he does a fancy solo.\n\nAnd coming down to the first beat: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 1. And I changed the pitch there because on those four beats, the left-hand drum isn't played.\n\nCONAN: Let's listen.\n\n\nSILVER: Eleven, 12, 13...\n\nCONAN: And forgive me, that sounds like a little jazz rift there.\n\nSILVER: ...14, 15, 16, 1. Again, it's improvised. The comparison with jazz is apt in some ways because it is improvised. As jazz, in different styles, is governed by certain harmonic rules, in Indian music, the improvisation is governed by rules of scale and as you heard of rhythm.\n\nCONAN: You mentioned another sitar player. Who right now would be in Ravi Shankar's class?\n\nSILVER: That's a rough question. Who's the best cellist in the world? I mean, there are many, many fine musicians. Of the senior musicians (unintelligible), who happens to be my wife's teacher but is one of the senior sitarists, is there. Shahid Parvez is fantastic. He is extraordinary. There are a number of fine sitarists, and I could go on and on.\n\nCONAN: Well, Brian Q. Silver, thank you so much for lending us your expertise today.\n\nSILVER: Well, I'm very honored to say whatever I can in praise of the late Ravi Shankar, who was the man who basically established world music.\n\nCONAN: Brian Q. Silver has played sitar for more than 40 years. He joined us here in Studio 3A. Tomorrow, we'll talk about the ongoing drought and shallow waters on the Mississippi. Join us for that.

illicit activity she just undertook.\u00a0 She has two options to do so, which would she choose?\n\n(1)\u00a0 Bob built a payment network which was identity-free; it used pseudonyms so no legal identities were required to send transactions between its participants.\u00a0 And that trying to stop or prevent payments was difficult because the computers running the payment network were widely distributed and run by multiple known and unknown participants across dozens of jurisdictions that were sometimes hard to track down.\u00a0 Recourse is difficult and sometimes impossible.\u00a0 Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum are examples of such a network.\n\n(2) Carol built a payment network which requires all users to provide a proof-of-identity, usually by scanning and storing of government-issued IDs or utility bills.\u00a0 And that stopping, preventing, or even rolling back payments was possible because the computers running the payment network were run by legally identifiable participants who were often located in easy-to-find offices.\u00a0 Recourse could be cumbersome, but almost always possible.\u00a0 Wire transfer methods like ACH are examples of such a network.\n\nAlice would probably choose number one and later try use some conversion tool or exchange to move her payment into number two.\u00a0 How is this done?\u00a0 See the (dated) flow-of-funds chart below.\n\nWhile some cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, were probably not designed to serve as get-away vehicles \u2013 because of key design choices that make legal recourse difficult \u2013 they are increasingly used to shuffle ill-gotten gains around.1\n\nFor example, data kidnapping \u2013 commonly referred to as ransomware \u2013 has existed in some form for more than two decades.\u00a0 But the current plight surrounding ransomware, and the white washing of the role cryptocurrencies have in this plight, have gone hand in hand over the past several years.\n\n\nThe core characteristics of cryptocurrencies \u2013 censorship resistance and pseudonymity \u2013 are some of the main reasons why ransomware has become increasingly commonplace.\u00a0 And these cryptocurrencies need liquidity.\n\nLiquidity into-and-out of fiat has fluctuated over time, with some exchanges being debanked and sometimes rebanked, but as an aggregate it has increased overall.\u00a0 Liquidity is often done through venture-backed gateways and exchanges.\n\nAs explored in my previous post, as well as others, many of these gateways and platforms have inadequate and typically non-existent KYC and AML gathering processes.\u00a0 This post won\u2019t go into the details surrounding some of the investors and promoters of these platforms, but further research could dive deeper into that industry as well as the white washing that goes on to distract investigations.\n\nWe see this empirically: attackers do not ask for fiat or credit cards because these would be easily tracked and/or transactions would be halted.\u00a0 Instead, they ask to be paid in some kind of cryptocurrency because they know the likelihood of getting caught and reprimanded is significantly lower.\n\nThis past Friday, WannaCry, a ransomware package, wreaked havoc on more than 200,000 victims across all times of organizations located in over 150 countries.\u00a0 This included government services including NHS in the UK and the Interior Ministry in Russia.\n\nSource: Twitter\n\nThe first-order of victims ranged from small startups that could quickly patch and restart their computers all the way to large hospital systems that were unable to access patient records and had to turn away patients.\n\nThis then leads to the second-order of victims: patients and customers of these institutions.\u00a0 According to the Associated Press, the \u201ccyberattack hit almost 20 percent of UK\u2019s 248 public health trusts.\u201d\n\nWhile all of the impacted organizations already should have had a formal plan to upgrade and patch these types of vulnerabilities (e.g., create regular back-ups off-site), based on several news stories, many of them did not.\n\nWill they all learn from this lesson?\u00a0 Probably not.\n\nEither way: none of the victims have a formal means of recourse against the hacker(s) involved in WannaCry because we do not know the identities of the hackers.\u00a0 Some victims have even paid the ransom of ~$300, denominated in bitcoin, to have their files unlocked.\u00a0 The hacker is using multiple (4+) bitcoin addresses to receive the ransom and as of this writing, has received more than $50,0002\n\nLast year the FBI estimated that around $1 billion was paid to unlock ransomware and cyber extortion.\u00a0 Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, were usually the preferred method of payment.\n\nTwo weeks ago, James Comey, former Director of FBI spoke before the Senate Judiciary Committee and noted that:\n\n\nFor Bitcoin, there are ways to remain fairly anonymous, like using mixers, however it requires a lot more work to.\u00a0 But relatively few people are investigating, so the chance of getting caught is likely low.\u00a0 Newer cryptocurrencies such as Monero and Zcash are designed to be anonymous which makes them harder to track.\u00a0 Monero has been spotted in the wild alongside the Kirk Ransomware as well as research from Sophos (pdf).3\u00a0 And Zcash has been used by a botnet to mine more Zcash on devices such as your phone.\n\nAnd then there is Tor, a software program that enables anonymous communication by passing network traffic through various relays nodes that help conceal the location of the user.\u00a0 WannaCry used Tor to preserve its \u201canonymity by proxying their traffic through the Tor network.\u201d\n\nHow to bring some light into the darkness?\n\n\nI reached out to Adam Young who co-created \u201ccryptoviral extortion\u201d (what we call ransomware today).\u00a0 In his view:4\n\nIn terms of the ransomware attack, people/organizations need to do a better job at patching and removing end-of-life systems, clearly. My larger concern is that cryptoviral extortion is the only cryptovirology attack that anyone seems to be paying attention to and there are many, many others.\n\nI also spoke to Danny Yang, CEO of Blockseer who advised everyone to, \u201cupdate your software, make sure you have latest security patches \u2013 that ransomware worked because\u00a0 people didn\u2019t update their Windows since March when that particular security vulnerability was patched.\u201d5\n\nMy recent post looking at Bitfinex and regtech was quite popular.\u00a0 It was viewed several thousand times and I received a number of calls from reporters looking to investigate some of the points raised.\n\nSome people pointed out that the behavior by Bitfinex and other cryptocurrency exchanges is one of the reasons why a few banks in emerging markets have lost correspondent banking access: that they were de-risked because of what others perceive is a high-risk customer base.\n\nAccording to research by Accuity, a global financial crime compliance, payments and KYC solutions provider:\n\nBetween 2009 and 2016, correspondent banking relationships, where one financial institution provides services on behalf of another in a different location to facilitate cross-border payments, have reduced globally by 25%.\n\nEarlier this year, the People\u2019s Bank of China, SAFE and other government bodies in China, investigated and froze cryptocurrency withdrawals at many, if not all, the cryptocurrency exchanges operating on the mainland.\n\nWhy?\u00a0 Among other reasons: inadequate KYC and AML gathering and sharing processes.\n\nAccording to Caixin, a notice of administrative punishment may be released in June that details the punishment and fines of these China-based exchange operators.\n\nIn addition to freezing and de-banking, what are some other solutions as well?\n\nCompanies such as Blockseer and Chainalysis provide tools for law enforcement, regulators, entrepreneurs and compliance teams to trace and track the flow-of-funds on cryptocurrency networks.

how regtech can help counter it\n\nImagine for a moment that Alice, a hacker, was looking at various means for receiving payment for an illicit activity she just undertook.\u00a0 She has two options to do so, which would she choose?\n\n(1)\u00a0 Bob built a payment network which was identity-free; it used pseudonyms so no legal identities were required to send transactions between its participants.\u00a0 And that trying to stop or prevent payments was difficult because the computers running the payment network were widely distributed and run by multiple known and unknown participants across dozens of jurisdictions that were sometimes hard to track down.\u00a0 Recourse is difficult and sometimes impossible.\u00a0 Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum are examples of such a network.\n\n(2) Carol built a payment network which requires all users to provide a proof-of-identity, usually by scanning and storing of government-issued IDs or utility bills.\u00a0 And that stopping, preventing, or even rolling back payments was possible because the computers running the payment network were run by legally identifiable participants who were often located in easy-to-find offices.\u00a0 Recourse could be cumbersome, but almost always possible.\u00a0 Wire transfer methods like ACH are examples of such a network.\n\nAlice would probably choose number one and later try use some conversion tool or exchange to move her payment into number two.\u00a0 How is this done?\u00a0 See the (dated) flow-of-funds chart below.\n\nWhile some cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, were probably not designed to serve as get-away vehicles \u2013 because of key design choices that make legal recourse difficult \u2013 they are increasingly used to shuffle ill-gotten gains around.1\n\nFor example, data kidnapping \u2013 commonly referred to as ransomware \u2013 has existed in some form for more than two decades.\u00a0 But the current plight surrounding ransomware, and the white washing of the role cryptocurrencies have in this plight, have gone hand in hand over the past several years.\n\n\nThe core characteristics of cryptocurrencies \u2013 censorship resistance and pseudonymity \u2013 are some of the main reasons why ransomware has become increasingly commonplace.\u00a0 And these cryptocurrencies need liquidity.\n\nLiquidity into-and-out of fiat has fluctuated over time, with some exchanges being debanked and sometimes rebanked, but as an aggregate it has increased overall.\u00a0 Liquidity is often done through venture-backed gateways and exchanges.\n\nAs explored in my previous post, as well as others, many of these gateways and platforms have inadequate and typically non-existent KYC and AML gathering processes.\u00a0 This post won\u2019t go into the details surrounding some of the investors and promoters of these platforms, but further research could dive deeper into that industry as well as the white washing that goes on to distract investigations.\n\nWe see this empirically: attackers do not ask for fiat or credit cards because these would be easily tracked and/or transactions would be halted.\u00a0 Instead, they ask to be paid in some kind of cryptocurrency because they know the likelihood of getting caught and reprimanded is significantly lower.\n\nThis past Friday, WannaCry, a ransomware package, wreaked havoc on more than 200,000 victims across all times of organizations located in over 150 countries.\u00a0 This included government services including NHS in the UK and the Interior Ministry in Russia.\n\nSource: Twitter\n\nThe first-order of victims ranged from small startups that could quickly patch and restart their computers all the way to large hospital systems that were unable to access patient records and had to turn away patients.\n\nThis then leads to the second-order of victims: patients and customers of these institutions.\u00a0 According to the Associated Press, the \u201ccyberattack hit almost 20 percent of UK\u2019s 248 public health trusts.\u201d\n\nWhile all of the impacted organizations already should have had a formal plan to upgrade and patch these types of vulnerabilities (e.g., create regular back-ups off-site), based on several news stories, many of them did not.\n\nWill they all learn from this lesson?\u00a0 Probably not.\n\nEither way: none of the victims have a formal means of recourse against the hacker(s) involved in WannaCry because we do not know the identities of the hackers.\u00a0 Some victims have even paid the ransom of ~$300, denominated in bitcoin, to have their files unlocked.\u00a0 The hacker is using multiple (4+) bitcoin addresses to receive the ransom and as of this writing, has received more than $50,0002\n\nLast year the FBI estimated that around $1 billion was paid to unlock ransomware and cyber extortion.\u00a0 Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, were usually the preferred method of

Today, he\u2019s the CEO of Peakz, one of the biggest social equity brands in the country. He\u2019s also a mentor to aspiring minority business owners in the Bay Area.\n\n\nRelated:\u00a0A Social Equity Success Story in Oakland\n\nGrundy was able to make the jump to the legal market thanks, in part, to Oakland\u2019s social equity program. As a safeguard to corporations squeezing out small-business owners who\u2019ve had no choice but to operate illicitly for years under cannabis prohibition, social equity programs ensure that a percentage of local business permits are received by individuals who have been disproportionately impacted by the War on Drugs. In Oakland, equity permit applicants must live in the city, earn less than 80 percent of the average city income, and meet one of two requirements related to either living in a heavily policed area or being convicted of a cannabis crime in the past 20 years.\n\nAmong Grundy\u2019s keys to success are his hands-on approach to product packaging and design, and emulating the hype marketing strategies of famous streetwear brands in order to keep his strains in high demand. Here are some lessons learned in his journey from hustling through the shade of the illicit market to running a million-dollar company for the long run.\n\nYou went through the Bay Area\u2019s social equity program. How did you qualify?\n\nIn Oakland, you have to either have a cannabis conviction or have lived in places that are earmarked for having been most affected by the War on Drugs. I lived in the affected areas for 10 years\u2014and I was working in the cannabis black market, just reselling stuff. I was on the street, so I didn\u2019t have any money on the books and I wasn\u2019t paying taxes.\n\nWhat was that life like, working in the black market in Oakland?\n\nBack in high school, my friends and I were kind of like the iron fist, so people left us alone. They knew we wasn\u2019t playing. We sold at school up in Oakland Hills. If you wanted to smoke at lunch or after school, you would come find us. I would have this big old baby-blue puff coat, and everybody would just look for the coat.\n\nOnce I started getting older and I was in the black market, that\u2019s when it got a little scary because I was dealing with hundreds of thousands of dollars. Sometimes you\u2019re dealing with strangers, and all you\u2019re going off of is somebody\u2019s word that this person is cool.\n\nWere you ever arrested?\n\nI have been arrested for smoking, but the police would always just let me go, luckily. I definitely got arrested a couple of times and placed in the back of a police car and got talked to about smoking weed. But it never really hindered me from smoking.\n\nWhat\u2019s your take on the black market now?\n\nThey\u2019ve got to make a living for themselves, but everybody\u2019s just thinking about getting quick money; they\u2019re not thinking for the long term. Now that I\u2019m running a legitimate business, I get propositions for big-time funding, millions of dollars, but on the black market, you can\u2019t do that. It\u2019s just everything that\u2019s in your pocket.\n\nEverybody\u2019s just so cash consumed, but it\u2019s really about growing something that\u2019s going to live long and continue to make you money. The black market is the black market, but I think eventually it\u2019s going to downsize.\n\nRelated:\u00a0How The Black Market Is Threatening The Legal Cannabis Market\n\nWhat caused you to decide to go into the legal market?\n\nJust shady business. You hear stories of things going wrong\u2014deaths, robberies, stuff like that. I have a daughter. At the time, she was about 3 years old. So I thought, I\u2019ve got to do something different. I was always into trying to do things legally. I would always put my money into legal investments and entrepreneurship.\n\nBut on the streets, you really can only work with what\u2019s in your pocket, and I knew that from being around it for so long. You get money, you buy some nice things to prove to people you\u2019ve got money, then you go broke, and then you do it again. I was just tired of that cycle.\n\nSo you got accepted for the social equity program. What was that process like?\n\nIn the beginning, it was way easier than it is now because there weren\u2019t as many people applying. Oakland has a law that states that for every general cannabis business application, there has to be one equity application. So none of the general population could do anything unless they had equity partners.\n\nI found an incubator who supplied space for me for three years, and we have a really close relationship. He just showed me how to do my taxes, gave me advice when I didn\u2019t really have anybody in the legal market to turn to. I couldn\u2019t ask for a better incubator, the things that he did for me. He\u2019s like a father figure.\n\nHow did you decide how to position your product for success?\n\nI modeled myself after Supreme and Bait because I only distribute the product myself like they do. I\u2019m really logo-based, I never change the look, but it\u2019s always different colors. I make sure my product is at a price point where everybody can get it, but it\u2019s still considered top-shelf. I like being exclusive. I learned all that from studying streetwear brands that have a long, cultlike following. I just want to be that niche brand that people are loyal to.\n\nWhat do friends who are working in the black market make of your new, aboveboard venture?\n\nThey pretty much love it. I think I\u2019m inspiring the hood, if anything, because I get people all the time telling me, \u201cI can\u2019t believe you\u2019re doing this. How do you do this? I\u2019m trying to go legal. Help me. What can I do to be like you?\u201d These are people really in the streets asking about the equity program and probably would never even think about this if they didn\u2019t see me doing it.\n\nWhat are your company\u2019s financials?\n\nI have brand, which is The Peakz Company, and we\u2019ve already done over $500,000 in sales, and we started in April. Then the distribution side, which is you\u2019re buying other brands and you\u2019re selling them back to dispensaries, we did over half a million dollars. So I would say a rough estimate is $1.2 million generated in revenue. We\u2019re in 40 different dispensaries, in San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Los Angeles, Hollywood, Oxnard, Sacramento, Modesto. We\u2019re in 11 out of the top 15 counties in California.\n\nWhat\u2019s next for you?\n\nPeople have been asking me about licensing my name to a dispensary, maybe licensing to different cultivators, providing them genetics that we\u2019re using out here so they could use the Peakz brand in other states. Because we\u2019re getting so popular, celebrities, athletes, everybody\u2019s reaching out to me. It\u2019s a pretty humbling experience.

I would always put my money into legal investments and entrepreneurship.\n\nBut on the streets, you really can only work with what\u2019s in your pocket, and I knew that from being around it for so long. You get money, you buy some nice things to prove to people you\u2019ve got money, then you go broke, and then you do it again. I was just tired of that cycle.\n\nSo you got accepted for the social equity program. What was that process like?\n\nIn the beginning, it was way easier than it is now because there weren\u2019t as many people applying. Oakland has a law that states that for every general cannabis business application, there has to be one equity application. So none of the general population could do anything unless they had equity partners.\n\nI found an incubator who supplied space for me for three years, and we have a really close relationship. He just showed me how to do my taxes, gave me advice when I didn\u2019t really have anybody in the legal market to turn to. I couldn\u2019t ask for a better incubator, the things that he did for me. He\u2019s like a father figure.\n\nHow did you decide how to position your product for success?\n\nI modeled myself after Supreme and Bait because I only distribute the product myself like they do. I\u2019m really logo-based, I never change the look, but it\u2019s always different colors. I make sure my product is at a price point where everybody can get it, but it\u2019s still considered top-shelf. I like being exclusive. I learned all that from studying streetwear brands that have a long, cultlike following. I just want to be that niche brand that people are loyal to.\n\nWhat do friends who are working in the black market make of your new, aboveboard venture?\n\nThey pretty much love it. I think I\u2019m inspiring the hood, if anything, because I get people all the time telling me, \u201cI can\u2019t believe you\u2019re doing this. How do you do this? I\u2019m trying to go legal. Help me. What can I do to be like you?\u201d These are people really in the streets asking about the equity program and probably would never even think about this if they didn\u2019t see me doing it.\n\nWhat are your company\u2019s financials?\n\nI have brand, which is The Peakz Company, and we\u2019ve already done over $500,000 in sales, and we started in April. Then the distribution side, which is you\u2019re buying other brands and you\u2019re selling them back to dispensaries, we did over half a million dollars. So I would say a rough estimate is $1.2 million generated in revenue. We\u2019re in 40 different dispensaries, in San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Los Angeles, Hollywood, Oxnard, Sacramento, Modesto. We\u2019re in 11 out of the top 15 counties in California.\n\nWhat\u2019s next for you?\n\nPeople have been asking me about licensing my name to a dispensary, maybe licensing to different cultivators, providing them genetics that we\u2019re using out here so they could use the Peakz brand in other states. Because we\u2019re getting so popular, celebrities, athletes, everybody\u2019s reaching out to me. It\u2019s a pretty humbling experience.

Guardianship is a legal proceeding that involves selecting someone who can manage daily activities and personal affairs when you are not able to.\n\nThe Florida Bar identifies a guardian as either a person or an institution (e.g. a non-profit organization). A guardian is court appointed to take care of you if you become incapacitated. In other words, a judge must determine that you are not capable of maintaining your health, safety or property on your own. If this is the case, you get classified as a ward whose affairs must be overseen by a guardian.\n\nA guardian can be an adult living in or outside of Florida. However, anyone who has a felony cannot serve in this capacity. Additionally, a guardian may or may not be your relative. In the event that you do not have a relative who can serve in this role, there are professional guardians who get trained to look after your best interest.\n\nGuardians perform a variety of duties on your behalf. One of their primary activities involves overseeing property and making financial decisions. However, certain financial transactions must be court-approved. They also have authority to make decisions related to your personal, medical and mental care services. Additionally, guardians must submit yearly reports to the court detailing the work they perform for the individuals left in their care.\n\nKeep in mind that this is general information used for educational purposes only and is not legal advice.<|endoftext|>Bob Guiney\n\nBob Guiney, known as the funny guy from ABC's \"The Bachelorette,\" may not have won the Bachelorette's hand, but he won America's heart.

I kind of have a complicating situation. So the easiest way to go about this is to start at the beginning. I\u2019ll make this as short as possible. Boyfriend was driving my 2001 Infiniti QX4 on the freeway, notices lights start blinking and truck is overheating. He pulls over at a convenience store. Waits a bit, Puts water in. Tries driving again and ends up having to park it on side of road cause he noticed the fan has completely come off the pulley bracket. Belt is off. Blew a hole in radiator. I have it towed home next day, get in contact with a mobile mechanic he comes out and diagnoses it. $50. Tells me what I need to get, so I purchase a new radiator, an electric fan, a new bracket, and a wiring kit to engage the electric fan. Pay the mechanic $300 to come install it all. Does it all in about an hour. Calls me at work, tells me it all works, everything is good. But thing is, is that my truck battery was dead from having everything disconnected. He never drove it afterwards or anything. I drive my truck next day everythings fine. Next day, I get on freeway and it starts getting hot. And rising. My neighbor takes a look at it cause it\u2019s no longer starting right, starts rigging shit, cutting all the wires on the fan wiring kit, electrical taping shit, next thing I know it\u2019s all ghetto. After all this I take a look under the hood, notice the battery wires are connected super bad, if barely at all. I get new 2 way battery cable connector things for both + and -, have to cut the cables and twist the thick gauged wires as much as I can in order for them to fit in the metal connector things. Then I notice that 2 wires that are striped red and white wrapped and connected into one (which I\u2019m guessing are + and \u2013 which I also think are the acc wires but I\u2019m not too too sure,) have been exposed and the red plastic connector has been completely taken off which was connecting those wires to the + battery cable. So now I had to souder those 2 wires (which were just stubs and couldn\u2019t be held by the cable wire connector into the cable connector) in order for me to complete the connection to the + battery cable. But now it seems like the whole battery issues is worse. The jump starter I bought to jump it every time I have to start my vehicle gets drained now and sometimes it struggles to turn over. At times it doesn\u2019t at all. I am waiting for my paycheck to purchase anything I need to get cause I\u2019ve kind of lacked the proper things I need and I\u2019ve put a lot of money into this already. I don\u2019t trust anybody else to screw with it. If I can do this myself I will. I\u2019m pretty knowledgeable of vehicles. I\u2019m not a pro or anything but I know a little more than basic common stuff regarding vehicles and I\u2019m usually a good troubleshooter for a girl. Please tell me what\u2019s wrong and what to do!! And why I\u2019m having such battery issues. Another couple things to help with what you think it could be, when I start my truck I can smell the sulfuric acid when I\u2019m outside and through the a/c vents. Also, when my truck is idling or at a stop my a/c goes warm instantly and it\u2019s only cold when I\u2019m actually in motion. And as of the past few days all the dash lights and the battery light stay on while driving and at night when I\u2019m using my headlights they go haywire and flicker on and off. Sometimes I have to physically go hit the front head light for it to kick on but then the other one goes out. Please help!! I\u2019m about to sell this thing or start breaking it with a hammer. I\u2019m fed up.\n\n \u2022 It appears there are a few things that may be going on here, you likely need a new battery and im betting there is an alternator issue.\n\n 6. Gentlemen,\n\n My fuse block has the barrel glass fuses. I want to add a voltage gauge.

LEDs can often require less current (amps) than a traditional incandescent bulb. It\u2019s entirely possible that your 10W LED actually pulls less current than the OE 4W incandescent bulb\u2013even though it has a higher wattage.\n The only way to be sure though, is to test your LED\u2019s current draw using a multimeter. Its a relatively easy process. If you\u2019re unsure how to do it, we found this handy tutorial here. Don\u2019t have a mulitmeter? They\u2019re relatively cheap and a must-have if you\u2019re doing any electrical work.\n If you\u2019re hesitant to cut up your original wire harness, companies make LEDs with traditional bulb sockets (194, bayonet, etc.) that will install just like the original incandescent.\n\n 5. I kind of have a complicating situation. So the easiest way to go about this is to start at the beginning. I\u2019ll make this as short as possible. Boyfriend was driving my 2001 Infiniti QX4 on the freeway, notices lights start blinking and truck is overheating. He pulls over at a convenience store. Waits a bit, Puts water in. Tries driving again and ends up having to park it on side of road cause he noticed the fan has completely come off the pulley bracket. Belt is off. Blew a hole in radiator. I have it towed home next day, get in contact with a mobile mechanic he comes out and diagnoses it. $50. Tells me what I need to get, so I purchase a new radiator, an electric fan, a new bracket, and a wiring kit to engage the electric fan. Pay the mechanic $300 to come install it all. Does it all in about an hour. Calls me at work, tells me it all works, everything is good. But thing is, is that my truck battery was dead from having everything disconnected. He never drove it afterwards or anything. I drive my truck next day everythings fine. Next day, I get on freeway and it starts getting hot. And rising. My neighbor takes a look at it cause it\u2019s no longer starting right, starts rigging shit, cutting all the wires on the fan wiring kit, electrical taping shit, next thing I know it\u2019s all ghetto. After all this I take a look under the hood, notice the battery wires are connected super bad, if barely at all. I get new 2 way battery cable connector things for both + and -, have to cut the cables and twist the thick gauged wires as much as I can in order for them to fit in the metal connector things. Then I notice that 2 wires that are striped red and white wrapped and connected into one (which I\u2019m guessing are + and \u2013 which I also think are the acc wires but I\u2019m not too too sure,) have been exposed and the red plastic connector has been completely taken off which was connecting those wires to the + battery cable. So now I had to souder those 2 wires (which were just stubs and couldn\u2019t be held by the cable wire connector into the cable connector) in order for me to complete the connection to the + battery cable. But now it seems like the whole battery issues is worse. The jump starter I bought to jump it every time I have to start my vehicle gets drained now and sometimes it struggles to turn over. At times it doesn\u2019t at all. I am waiting for my paycheck to purchase anything I need to get cause I\u2019ve kind of lacked the proper things I need and I\u2019ve put a lot of money into this already. I don\u2019t trust anybody else to screw with it. If I can do this myself I will. I\u2019m pretty knowledgeable of vehicles. I\u2019m not a pro or anything but I know a little more than basic common stuff regarding vehicles and I\u2019m usually a good troubleshooter for a girl. Please tell me what\u2019s wrong and what to do!! And why I\u2019m having such battery issues. Another couple things to help with what you think it could be, when I start my truck I can smell the sulfuric acid when I\u2019m outside and through the a/c vents. Also, when my truck is idling or at a stop my a/c goes warm instantly and it\u2019s only cold when I\u2019m actually in motion. And as of the past few days all the dash lights and the battery light stay on while driving and at night when I\u2019m using my headlights they go haywire and flicker on and off. Sometimes I have to physically go hit the front head light for it to kick on but then the other one goes out. Please help!! I\u2019m about to sell this thing or start breaking it with a hammer. I\u2019m fed up.\n\n \u2022 It appears there are a few things that may be going on here, you likely need a new battery and im betting there is an alternator issue.\n\n 6. Gentlemen,\n\n My fuse block has the barrel glass fuses. I want to add a voltage gauge. I\u2019ve grounded the gauge and its light ok,but my fuse panel is full- thus nowhere to plug the other two wires (light and power). How can I do it?\n I remember decades ago, there was a connection available that saddled one end of the fuse and had a spade on its top side that one simply plugged in the wire for the power. I can\u2019t find them anywhere. Thanks for your help. John\n\n 7. Hope VanHorn says:\n\n I have a unique situation. The key is stuck in the vehicle steering wheel. Got damaged when the children were playing and knocked the key crooked. I\u2019m old school and tired of having to unplug the car after driving and plugging it up on cold days. I live in Michigan. I want to know how to put an old school toggle switch or a relay in the impala to cut the power from the battery to everything else without going under the hood. Thanks for any help given.\n\n 8.

Develop Your Emotional Self-Awareness\n\nGet used to thinking of your emotions as carrying a message \u2013 either about something that\u2019s happening now, or something that happened in the past that you have not yet fully resolved. Whenever you feel an emotion you\u2019re not comfortable with, you can ask yourself \u201cwhat is this feeling trying to tell me?\u201d\n\nOne of the best ways to develop your awareness of your own emotions is to meditate. Take some time out to relax, being aware of your breathing as it flows in and out. Observe your thoughts and feelings as they come and go, without judging them. This will give you a degree of detachment, as you realise you are more than whatever thoughts and emotions you are experiencing at the time.\n\nAnother good way to become more aware and accepting of your emotions is to keep an emotional journal. Just take five minutes each morning to write down how you\u2019re feeling. Writing things down in this way gives you a degree of detachment and allows you to express your feelings in a way which is safe. It also allows you to recognise recurring patterns in your emotional responses and gives you a record of how far you have come as you develop your emotional intelligence.\n\n\n2. Take Responsibility for Your Actions and Feelings\n\nIt\u2019s important that you accept the emotions you\u2019re feeling as yours. Often we can regard certain feelings as unacceptable and refuse to acknowledge them. This will lead to trouble as we still continue to act from our emotions even if we deny them to ourselves. Sometimes we even project them on to other people, so that someone who is in denial about their own anger may encounter a lot of \u2018angry\u2019 people.\n\nOften we talk about emotions as if they just \u2018happen\u2019, or that other people create them in us, as in \u2018she made me angry\u2019 or \u2018he upset me\u2019. Some people even seem to have inanimate objects controlling their emotions, as in \u2018that squeaky gate is really pissing me off!\u2019\n\nSo, can other people or even lumps of metal really control your emotions, causing your brain to release exactly the right combination of neuropeptides to experience irritation, fear or guilt? I would suggest not.\n\nAll the information we receive from our five senses about what\u2019s happening around us is already filtered by the time we become aware of it \u2013 first by the limbic system, our primitive emotional brain, and then by our beliefs and the meanings which we put on these events.\n\nFor example, if someone shouts at you and you get upset, it may be that the look they give you, or the tone of voice they use, reminds you at an unconscious level of a much earlier time you were shouted at by a parent or other authority figure.

These experienced users know that they need to maintain the proper levels of humidity in order to have the best smoking experience. These desired levels are achieved through the use of a hygrometer. Therefore, for anyone who is considering becoming a cigar smoker, hygrometers are an incredibly important aspect of the cigar experience and should not be disregarded.\n\nRelative Humidity and a Good Cigar\n\nThe majority of cigar smokers continue their habit because they like the taste they get from a cigar. This taste is cultivated in large part by the humidity of the cigar itself. For example, a cigar that is too dry is almost completely without taste, while a cigar with very high humidity is too moist to even be lit and may have mold growing inside of it. This overly wet flavor can create an unpleasant, musty taste. Both of these situations can quickly ruin any cigars smoking experience.\n\nMost cigars are stored in a humidor, a specially developed case meant to trap the perfect amount of moisture for the optimal cigar humidity. However, humidors are not digitally controlled, so the amount of moisture inside the cases can vary greatly. This is where a hygrometer becomes important.\n\nHygrometers measure the relative humidity of a humidor. This is a measure of the amount of water in the air compared to the amount of water the air can actually hold at a particular temperature. Cigar manufacturers and cigar aficionados agree that the perfect humidor relative humidity level is between 65-70 degrees at around 65-70 percent. Those that fall below these levels often become too dry, and those above these indications are too wet to be enjoyable. This temperature combined with this percent of air saturation produces the best amount of moisture in cigars, therefore providing the best taste.\n\nAlthough hygrometers cannot be used alone as a means of correcting the relative humidity of a humidor, these measurement tools can be the basis for understanding why some cigars taste much better than others. Once a cigar smoker notices that his humidor is not registering at the optimal levels of humidity, he can take action to correct the situation and save his cigars from becoming ruined. Of course, hygrometers are not 100 percent accurate all the time, but they do an excellent job of monitoring the humidity levels. Cigars that are consistently stored at these levels will have the best texture and taste available to the smoker.\n\nHygrometers are available in digital and analog forms. Which type is the best for monitoring cigar quality is a matter of debate between stalwart smokers, and there are a number of advantages and disadvantages to each kind. Most humidors are outfitted with an analog hygrometer when purchased, so they are typically the most common.\n\n\nHow To Use an Analog Hygrometer\n\nThe original type of hygrometer, analog tools are available in both antique and modern forms. These are largely considered the most attractive type of hygrometer, known for the wound springs and elegant faces made famous on humidors. No matter their internal humidity measuring tools, these hygrometers display their readings in gauge or dial format.\n\nIn keeping with the original technology when hygrometers were developed, some analog types still use horse hair inside the wound machinery to measure the air\u2019s humidity. When the relative humidity begins to rise inside the humidor, this hygrometer\u2019s horsehair begins to expand. The ever-expanding horse hair, as the relative humidity of the humidor continues to rise, eventually moves the wound springs inside the hygrometer, thereby indicating high levels of humidity on the hygrometer\u2019s external gauge. When the humidity begins to drop, the horsehair contracts, the springs retract into tightly wound coils again and the hygrometer\u2019s gauge drops.\n\nOther hygrometers are created using a metal spring to trigger a relative humidity reading. These are possibly the most popular of all types of analog devices because they are less expensive. However, reoccurring loose springs do make this type extremely unreliable.\n\nA few psychrometers, or wet and dry bulb thermometers, are also used in analog hygrometers. In this type, there are two thermometers, one a dry bulb and one a wet bulb. The relative humidity of a humidor is determined using a psychometric chart. Temperatures are taken from both the wet- and dry bulb thermometers, and where those temperatures intersect on the psychometric chart equals the relative humidity. The extra steps required to determine this figure prevents psychrometers from becoming a popular hygrometric option for humidors.\n\nAdvantages and Disadvantages of Analog Hygrometers\n\nOf course, using any type of hygrometer to measure and track the relative humidity of stored cigars is an improvement over no method at all. However, these analog devices have a number of drawbacks that cannot be ignored. Because they were the original type of hygrometer, analog devices have earned a reputation for being rather poorly manufactured with cheap and unstable mechanisms.\n\nHowever, the main issue with these hygrometers, which led to the development of a digital version, is the need for routine tune-ups and resets throughout the lifespan of these instruments. Because the springs are wound tightly and the entire system of hardware involves tiny moving parts, the accuracy of this hygrometer can often be affected. The more time that passes between adjustments, the more inaccurate this type of hygrometer becomes. At times, the gauge readings can be off by up to 25 percent, a figure that can drastically affect the moisture and taste of any stored cigars. Since the enjoyment of cigars is based largely on their storage conditions, this percentage can ruin an otherwise perfect cigar.\n\nBecause this type is more attractive and most likely to be sold with a new humidor, many cigar smokers continue to use these hygrometers. Luckily, these analog devices can be sustained through frequent and thorough maintenance. Re-calibration is not overly difficult or time-consuming, but it can require the expertise of a specialist, and this can be an added cost to the cigar smoking hobby.\n\nFor those cigar smokers who would prefer to maintain their own hygrometers, manufacturers have created a number of methods for measuring the accuracy of these devices. First of all, most producers have tightened hygrometer calibrations at the factory before the devices are shipped. Furthermore, these manufacturers have developed a wide range of easy-to-use products that allow avid smokers to test and calibrate their hygrometers at home.\n\nHow to Choose the Right Hygrometer\n\nThe need for any cigar smoker to have a hygrometer is pretty clear. Ideal levels of relative humidity inside a cigar humidor create the most enjoyable smoking experiences. However, cigar smokers have the option of choosing a digital or an analog hygrometer to measure these all-important levels.\n\nMany cigar smokers prefer the classic elegance of an analog hygrometer because it is often sold with humidors and because it fits the image of a typical smoker. However, inaccuracies and consistent re-calibration needs can be a lot of work for many cigar enthusiasts. Luckily, there are a number of analog hygrometers on the market, and there is almost sure to be a version that fits each cigar smoker\u2019s needs.<|endoftext|>Reply To: JR\u2019s Characters\n\n\n\nAnd last up for the current anime style series.\n\nThe most powerful dark wizard know to have ever lived, Osiris reigned in terror many hundreds of years ago, almost succeeding in conquering the known world.

These experienced users know that they need to maintain the proper levels of humidity in order to have the best smoking experience. These desired levels are achieved through the use of a hygrometer. Therefore, for anyone who is considering becoming a cigar smoker, hygrometers are an incredibly important aspect of the cigar experience and should not be disregarded.\n\nRelative Humidity and a Good Cigar\n\nThe majority of cigar smokers continue their habit because they like the taste they get from a cigar. This taste is cultivated in large part by the humidity of the cigar itself. For example, a cigar that is too dry is almost completely without taste, while a cigar with very high humidity is too moist to even be lit and may have mold growing inside of it. This overly wet flavor can create an unpleasant, musty taste. Both of these situations can quickly ruin any cigars smoking experience.\n\nMost cigars are stored in a humidor, a specially developed case meant to trap the perfect amount of moisture for the optimal cigar humidity. However, humidors are not digitally controlled, so the amount of moisture inside the cases can vary greatly. This is where a hygrometer becomes important.\n\nHygrometers measure the relative humidity of a humidor. This is a measure of the amount of water in the air compared to the amount of water the air can actually hold at a particular temperature.

No, because the unrest is largely focused on the domestic Mahdi Army, whom the Iranian-trained and -funded Badr Corps have been fighting with.\n\nHang on - the vivacious Caroline Hawley is saying on the BBC that there is a Status of Forces 'agreement' between the Iraqi authorities and the occupiers that any arrested servicemen should be handed over to the occupiers. The British Army have apparently told her that the Iraqi Interior Ministry had directly ordered the release of the men - the same Iraqi Interior Ministry who won't even corroborate the British story? This can't be right. They also seem to have changed their story again - this time, they're saying that what actually happened was that the two prisoners had been spirited out of the police station by insurgents and were subsequently freed from another house nearby - I wonder if that house is still standing?\n\nAnyway, the question remains as to exactly what the bugger these guys were doing in Iraq shooting at Iraqi policemen? It isn't a question being asked on the news much. They prefer to evoke Northern Ireland and disinter the old classics about how we must never never give in to the \"", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 52352, "pt_loc": 149071998, "pt_shuffle_idx": 248577637, "doc_index_f": 389652259, "doc_index_l": 389652259, "offset_f": 12421, "offset_l": 14469, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 18, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": "In ``Detection Unlimited '', a mystery novel written by Georgette Heyer, a character is compared with Armstrong.<|endoftext|> you want to use your device for streaming music, finding restaurants and texting with your babysitter, than take a vow not to check your email.\n\nTrust us, the world will not fall apart around you and everything will be waiting for you on Sunday evening, and no one will fault you for unplugging for 48 hours!\n\nStep 3: Schedule A Date\nThink back to the early days of your relationship. You probably set dates in advance, spent time getting yourself ready, built up anticipation and then showed up ready to shine. Time to bring the thrill of dating back into your relationship.\n\nMake a date for Friday night. Choose a new restaurant that you've always wanted to try, a gallery opening in a nearby town, take a dance class or visit a museum offering an evening reception. Make sure it is a date where your attention is on one another: no movies, plays or concerts!\n\nStep 4: Prepare Yourself For Romance\nOn Friday evening, spend time by yourself getting ready for your date. Go to the gym, get your hair done, take an extra long shower; do whatever makes you feel pampered and sexy.\n\nWhile you are in the shower or relaxing, spend some time fantasizing about your upcoming weekend. What do YOU want to experience? What is your body hungry for?\n\nStep 5: Dine and Discuss\nOn your Friday night date, spend time catching up with one another and sharing highlights from your week. Off limits: complaining about work, discussing stressful issues, or worrying about the future. Focus on subjects that make you feel good, hopeful and close to one another.\n\nAfter you have decompressed a bit, use the following questions to start a conversation about what you want to share over the weekend. Dare to be honest and specific: your weekend of hot sex is on the line!\n\n \u2022 We have the weekend all to ourselves: what one thing would be the most satisfying for you?\n \u2022 Is there any way I can pamper you or take care of you this weekend?\n \u2022 Is there something specific you want to experience?\n\nTry to come up with a short list of a few activities you both want to explore. Include in and out of bedroom experiences: One list might include: a long foot massage, a steak dinner, oral sex, bathing one another, long slow sex. Another couple might come up with: full body massage, yoga, light bondage, erotic spanking and queening.\n\nDare to ask for specifically what you want \u2014\u00a0those who ask for what they want are much more likely to get it!\n\nStep 6: Go To Bed Wanting More\nFriday night is all about going on a date. Go to bed full of anticipation and desire for your weekend together. Spend time kissing, touching and cuddling \u2014\u00a0but don't have sex! Try to get to sleep early so you wake up refreshed and full of energy.\n\nStep 7: Sultry Saturday\nSaturday will be your main event. Allow yourselves to sleep in, and then have a delicious breakfast. Go for a walk together to help digest, then head back to the bedroom. Think of the day as one long marathon sex event, and pace yourself accordingly. Remember that there can be several climactic peaks of erotic energy over the course of the day.\n\nTake turns giving and receiving. This allows you both to fully relax and savor receiving pleasure, while the other fully focuses on giving. Choose who wants to receive first: then allow yourself to go fully into the roles of giver and receiver. The giver is in charge of the music, bringing water and snacks, and focusing fully on lavishing the receiver with as much pleasure as they can handle. No worries: you\u2019ll switch roles later on in the day!\n\nWe highly recommend you start with sharing full body massage. Learn how to give one another deep, satisfying massage and you'll be able to help one another relax, de-stress and prepare the body for arousal. Everyone has a favorite kind of massage, but for many women nothing compares to a great foot massage. Put on relaxing music, heat up the room and take time to sink into the pleasures of a massage.\n\nTransition from full body massage and start bringing up the heat with full body contact. Get naked, use plenty of massage oil, and glide your body over your lover's skin. Lavish them with kisses, nibbles and kind words. Slowly start touching closer and closer to their most sensitive parts, building up anticipation and desire. When you are both aching with desire, pleasure your lover with your hands and mouth, focusing all of your attention on building their arousal towards one or more climaxes. Once you are fully exhausted, pull the sheets over their quivering body, cuddle up next to them and just rest together.\n\nShare a meal and then switch roles \u2014\u00a0it is now time to repay all of that generosity and attention! Again, start with sharing massage, then create a long slow build up of arousal before allowing the receiver to climax. By early afternoon, you'll both be lavished in loving touch, fully charged with erotic energy and, most likely, hungry. Share a delicious meal and then get ready for another round of pleasure!\n\nStep 8: Play A Game\nOn Saturday night, it is time to keep building on the pleasure you've generated and create an extraordinary erotic experience together. Begin by talking about this question: What was the hottest sex we've ever shared? What elements made that sex so hot? Then, pin down what kind of hot sex you want to have as the climax of your erotic weekend. Do you want slow, romantic sex? Rough, aggressive sex? Ritualistic, spiritual sex? Get specific and choose one kind of sex that you want to share. Then make it a game to create that sex for yourselves.\n\nIn our book The Fantasy Method, we share how to create erotic sex games in order to have extraordinary sexual experiences. All games have goals, roles and boundaries, which allow a game to emerge and offers a specific experience for the players. In your erotic game, you can create a specific experience by adding some structure to your evening.\n\n \u2022 Want romantic sex? Dim the lights, choose music that makes you feel seductive, then spend some time gazing in one another's eyes and sharing all the reasons you love one another. Kiss long and slow, then make love with your eyes wide open and sharing loving words.\u00a0\n \u2022 Want it rougher? Set specific boundaries about what will and will not happen, then meet in the hotel lobby. Seduce one another, get back to your room and don\u2019t hold back. Throw one another around, bite and scratch, let your primal animal out to play. Try an erotic spanking session before having sex and see just how arousing a good spanking can be!\u00a0\n \u2022 Want to explore something new? Choose a fantasy that you\u2019ve both been curious about and then spend the evening exploring it. Whether that be introducing more anal play into your sex life, playing with sex toys or trying out light bondage, trying something new together will be thrilling and give you the chance to get vulnerable together and expand your erotic horizons.\n\nThe goal is to fall asleep together, both sexually satisfied and basking in the glow of the pleasure and eroticism you have shared. Try to really go for it, holding nothing back!\n\nStep 9: Enjoy a Sweet Sunday Morning\nIf you follow this plan, you'll be fully satiated and maybe even a little sore when you wake up on Sunday morning. Wash up, and then linger in bed. Don't put pressure on yourselves to do anything specific. Just enjoy touching one another's naked body, talking about highlights from your weekend together, kiss and cuddle.\n\nThe opportunity to relax in a prolonged session of naked cuddling is precious. Enjoy it, and get curious about exploring your lover's body with your eyes and hands. Notice all the little things you love about your partner \u2014\u00a0and then share your thoughts out loud. If you naturally move towards making love, let it happen. But Sunday morning is all about relaxing together naked \u2014 hot sex optional!\n\nStep 10: Transition Back To Normal Life\nEnd your hot sex weekend with a meal out. Thank one another for all the pleasure you shared, talk about what your favorite moments were, and then feel free to start making plans for your next hot sex weekend. Couples who share a weekend like this a few times a year are much more likely to feel sexually satisfied, stay connected and feel more powerful in their marriage, family and work life. Erotic energy is fuel for your life \u2014\u00a0stop and fill your tank once in awhile!\n\nKeep your afterglow alive by replaying the events of your weekend over and over in your head. Each time you think about that loving massage, that hot oral sex, or that intense erotic spanking you received, your brain will release a flood of pleasure hormones that will give you a full body buzz. Let yourself savor the weekend long into the week \u2014\u00a0and remember that you have another hot sex weekend coming soon!\n\nWant a hotter sex life everyday of the year?

Or they may ask something else in that same vein, such as: what's your ideal job, what is your big dream? What does your perfect future look like? Perhaps it is not wise to think in these idealistic terms. While life can be pretty good and people can be pretty happy, even very happy, it seems impossible for life to become perfect or ideal. Sometimes it may approach such an ideal state but that seems impossible to last forever. I believe we have to potential for happiness and growth and we can make progress during our lives but I am also convinced that the presences of tensions and the occurance of problems is inevitable.\nHere is a paragraph from an earlier article:\n\nAugust 29, 2009\n\nThe usefulness of those who keep on attacking us\n\nShakespeare famously wrote: \"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so\". Isn't that a bit too optimistic? What about free riders, people who try to get away with taking more and contributing less than their fair share? And what about people who constantly gossip and try to make other people look bad? And those who try to climb the corporate ladder by any means? What about bullies? Vandals? Soccer hooligans? Gangsters? Aren't they just rotten apples, parasites? Aren't they just plain bad for organizations and society? Or is it possible too see something good in them? Maybe yes, an example from nature suggests.\n\nAlex Trisoglio has shown that the presence of parasites in a system can dramatically speed up its evolution. A parasite finds a way to take advantage of his host. In response, the host will find a way to defend himself which in turn leads the parasite to find a new approach of attack. And so on. In such a evolutionary arms race the capability of the organism to adapt is its only sustainable competitive advantage (Pascale, Millemann & Goia, 2000). In short, no matter how irritating, malicious these parasites may be, on the level of the organism, organization or the society they may fulfill a useful function. Because of their constant attacks the system is permanently strengthening itself. Parasites remain aggravating and must always be fought but they do have their use. Maybe that idea helps us to view them as slightly less awful. They may be a useful evil. What do you think? Is this far fetched? Or may it be true?\n\nAugust 27, 2009\n\nWhat's the best question you've ever been asked?\n\nOn twitter I posted a few quotes on questions. After I had just done that, Senia Maymin asked me the following question: \"What's the best question you've ever been asked? (You can choose what you mean by 'best').\" Hard question, I really had to think about that. Then, after a few minutes I answered: \"It was a question asked by a school friend whom I have no contact with anymore. We were about 17 back then. We were sitting with a group of 5 or 6 friends and all of us answered that question. That question, which I think may be the best question I've ever been asked is: \"How would you like your life to become?\"\n\nWhat's the best question you've ever been asked?\n\nAugust 26, 2009\n\nWhat's the most interesting piece of research you have come across recently?\n\nTomorrow, I am planning to write a research digest for the coming edition of the Interaction Journal. It will look at research published in the last six months (or maybe a bit beyond that time frame). The research does not have to be limited to the solution-focused approach, it can also be about parallel areas, such as social psychology, positive psychology, neuroscience, and so forth. I already have some ideas about what to include but I welcome any suggestions you may have. Therefore my question is:\n\nWhat's the most interesting piece of research relevant to the solution-focused approach you have come across in the last 6 month (or so)?\n\nAugust 24, 2009\n\nAdvice asked: case load too high, what to do?\n\nToday I received a mail from a friend of mine who asked me if I could ask my network for help with a question. Here is his question. If you have any solution-focused advice (or other) for him, please let us know.\n\nDear fellow consultants and coaches,\n\nI'd like to consult with you on the following case. My question is: What is the best advice to give to these women? Today I met two women who work as psychologists in an institution for people with mental and physic disabilities. They have an enormous caseload. Both of them have 300+ clients in their portfolio. Not all patients need permanent care, but the work is very demanding. There is permanent stress. One woman works here for 3 years (she is currently 27) and the other 10 years (she is currently 34). Both of them choose this career for the love of helping clients, providing care. Slowly, but gradually, the feel trapped in the red tape. All the fun of their jobs is squeezed out of them, because of the endless paperwork, with no end in sight. The problem is not uncommon in healthcare, so quitting their job sounds good, but doesn't help. The stress is taking it toll. Work that isn't finished is done in the weekends. I'm under the impression that they are starting to burn up. Now, I'm no career coach. But these women are in desperate need of help. Would anyone care to share some thoughts?\n\nFlexible secretaries\n\nA team of secretaries at a large lawyer practice did not operate flexible enough. Most of the lawyers were not satisfied with the flexibility, the accuracy and the pace of work by the secretaries. Due to this, the lawyers said, they could not serve their clients adequately. The secretaries' team leader had been requested to improve the quality of their performance so she invited the secretaries for a meeting to talk about this. She said the purpose of the meeting would be to find ways to serve the lawyers faster, better and more flexibly so that they would be able to serve their clients better. She began the meeting bys asking the continuation question: \"What things that we already do contribute to a good, flexible and fast service to the lawyers. In other words: which things that we already do, do", "base_doc": " Barbara Holdridge, since the B side had to have something on it, or they couldn't put out the record.\"\n\nThey asked the poet if he had anything else he could record.

Or they may ask something else in that same vein, such as: what's your ideal job, what is your big dream? What does your perfect future look like? Perhaps it is not wise to think in these idealistic terms. While life can be pretty good and people can be pretty happy, even very happy, it seems impossible for life to become perfect or ideal. Sometimes it may approach such an ideal state but that seems impossible to last forever. I believe we have to potential for happiness and growth and we can make progress during our lives but I am also convinced that the presences of tensions and the occurance of problems is inevitable.\nHere is a paragraph from an earlier article:\n\nAugust 29, 2009\n\nThe usefulness of those who keep on attacking us\n\nShakespeare famously wrote: \"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so\". Isn't that a bit too optimistic? What about free riders, people who try to get away with taking more and contributing less than their fair share? And what about people who constantly gossip and try to make other people look bad? And those who try to climb the corporate ladder by any means? What about bullies? Vandals? Soccer hooligans? Gangsters? Aren't they just rotten apples, parasites? Aren't they just plain bad for organizations and society? Or is it possible too see something good in them? Maybe yes, an example from nature suggests.\n\nAlex Trisoglio has shown that the presence of parasites in a system can dramatically speed up its evolution. A parasite finds a way to take advantage of his host. In response, the host will find a way to defend himself which in turn leads the parasite to find a new approach of attack. And so on. In such a evolutionary arms race the capability of the organism to adapt is its only sustainable competitive advantage (Pascale, Millemann & Goia, 2000). In short, no matter how irritating, malicious these parasites may be, on the level of the organism, organization or the society they may fulfill a useful function. Because of their constant attacks the system is permanently strengthening itself. Parasites remain aggravating and must always be fought but they do have their use. Maybe that idea helps us to view them as slightly less awful. They may be a useful evil. What do you think? Is this far fetched? Or may it be true?\n\nAugust 27, 2009\n\nWhat's the best question you've ever been asked?\n\nOn twitter I posted a few quotes on questions. After I had just done that, Senia Maymin asked me the following question: \"What's the best question you've ever been asked? (You can choose what you mean by 'best').\" Hard question, I really had to think about that. Then, after a few minutes I answered: \"It was a question asked by a school friend whom I have no contact with anymore. We were about 17 back then. We were sitting with a group of 5 or 6 friends and all of us answered that question. That question, which I think may be the best question I've ever been asked is: \"How would you like your life to become?\"\n\nWhat's the best question you've ever been asked?\n\nAugust 26, 2009\n\nWhat's the most interesting piece of research you have come across recently?\n\nTomorrow, I am planning to write a research digest for the coming edition of the Interaction Journal. It will look at research published in the last six months (or maybe a bit beyond that time frame). The research does not have to be limited to the solution-focused approach, it can also be about parallel areas, such as social psychology, positive psychology, neuroscience, and so forth. I already have some ideas about what to include but I welcome any suggestions you may have. Therefore my question is:\n\nWhat's the most interesting piece of research relevant to the solution-focused approach you have come across in the last 6 month (or so)?\n\nAugust 24, 2009\n\nAdvice asked: case load too high, what to do?\n\nToday I received a mail from a friend of mine who asked me if I could ask my network for help with a question. Here is his question. If you have any solution-focused advice (or other) for him, please let us know.\n\nDear fellow consultants and coaches,\n\nI'd like to consult with you on the following case. My question is: What is the best advice to give to these women? Today I met two women who work as psychologists in an institution for people with mental and physic disabilities. They have an enormous caseload. Both of them have 300+ clients in their portfolio. Not all patients need permanent care, but the work is very demanding. There is permanent stress. One woman works here for 3 years (she is currently 27) and the other 10 years (she is currently 34). Both of them choose this career for the love of helping clients, providing care. Slowly, but gradually, the feel trapped in the red tape. All the fun of their jobs is squeezed out of them, because of the endless paperwork, with no end in sight. The problem is not uncommon in healthcare, so quitting their job sounds good, but doesn't help. The stress is taking it toll. Work that isn't finished is done in the weekends. I'm under the impression that they are starting to burn up. Now, I'm no career coach. But these women are in desperate need of help. Would anyone care to share some thoughts?\n\nFlexible secretaries\n\nA team of secretaries at a large lawyer practice did not operate flexible enough. Most of the lawyers were not satisfied with the flexibility, the accuracy and the pace of work by the secretaries. Due to this, the lawyers said, they could not serve their clients adequately. The secretaries' team leader had been requested to improve the quality of their performance so she invited the secretaries for a meeting to talk about this. She said the purpose of the meeting would be to find ways to serve the lawyers faster, better and more flexibly so that they would be able to serve their clients better. She began the meeting bys asking the continuation question: \"What things that we already do contribute to a good, flexible and fast service to the lawyers. In other words: which things that we already do, do not have to change?\" This question led to a nice list of things they were doing that were already working.

In this scenario, this paper proposes an unsupervised method which requires a minimal amount of labeling or training effort.\n\nDatasets Market-1501 RAiD [3] CUHK03 [23] VIPeR [8] i-LIDS [45] CUHK01 [22] CUHK02 [21] CAVIAR [2]\n# identities 1,501 43 1,360 632 119 971 1,816 72\n# BBoxes 32,643 6920 13,164 1,264 476 1,942 7,264 610\n# distractors 2,793 0 0 0 0 0 0 0\n# cam. per ID 6 4 2 2 2 2 2 2\nDPM or Hand DPM hand DPM hand hand hand hand hand\nTable 1: Comparing Market-1501 with existing datasets [23, 8, 45, 22, 21, 2].\n\nOn the other hand, the field of image search has been greatly advanced since the introduction of the SIFT descriptor [26] and the BoW model. In the last decade, a myriad of methods [15, 44, 36, 47, 39] have been developed to improve search performance. For example, to improve matching precision, J\u00e9gou et al. [15] embed binary SIFT features in the inverted file. Meanwhile, refined visual matching can also be produced by index-level feature fusion [44, 36] between complementary descriptors. Since the BoW model does not consider the spatial distribution of local features (also a problem in person re-identification), another direction is to model the spatial constraints [47, 39, 13]. The geometry-preserving visual phrases (GVP) [39] and the spatial coding [47] methods both calculate the relative position among features, and check the geometric consistency between images by the offset maps. Zhang et al. [38] propose to use descriptive visual phrases to build pairwise constraints, and Liu et al. [25] encode geometric cues into binary features embedded in the inverted file.\n\nFor ranking problems, an effective reranking step typically brings about improvements. Liu et al. [24] design a \u201cone shot\u201d feedback optimization scheme which allows a user to quickly refine the search results. Although it is shown to yield consistent improvement, reranking based on user feedback is not always desirable or accessible. In rigid object search, RANSAC [29] is typically used in post-processing. In [33], the top-ranked images are used as queries again and final score is the weighted sum of individual scores. When multiple queries are present [1], a new query which integrates the original queries can be formed by average or max operations.\n\n3 The Market-1501 Dataset\n\n3.1 Description\n\nIn this paper, a new person re-identification dataset, the \u201cMarket-1501\u201d dataset, is introduced. During dataset collection, a total of six cameras were placed in front of a campus supermarket, including five 12801080 HD cameras, and one 720576 SD camera. Overlapping exists among these cameras. This dataset contains 32643 bounding boxes of 1501 identities. Since it is an open environment, images of each identity are captured by at most six cameras. We make sure that each annotated identity are captured by at least two cameras, so that cross-camera search can be performed. In fact, even within same camera, images of same identity still take on distinct appearance. Overall, the Market-1501 dataset has the following featured properties.\n\nFirst, while most existing datasets use hand-cropped bounding boxes, the Market-1501 dataset employs a state-of-the-art detector, i.e., the Deformable Part Model (DPM) [7]. As is shown in Fig. 1, misalignment as well as body part missing are very common among the detected images.\n\nSecond, in addition to the false positive bounding boxes, we also provide false alarm detection results. We notice that the CUHK03 dataset [23] also uses the DPM detector, but the bounding boxes in CUHK03 are relatively good ones in terms of DPM detector. In fact, a large number of the detected bounding boxes would be very \u201cbad\u201d. Considering this, for each detected bounding box to be annotated, a hand-drawn groundtruth bounding box is provided (similar to [23]). Different from [23], for the detected and hand-drawn bounding boxes, the ratio of the overlapping area to the union area is calculated. In our dataset, if the area ratio is larger than 50%, the DPM bounding box is marked as \u201cgood\u201d (a routine in object detection [7]); if the ratio is smaller than 20%, the DPM bounding box is marked as \u201cdistractor\u201d; otherwise, the bounding box is marked as \u201cjunk\u201d [29], meaning that this image is of zero influence to the re-identification accuracy. Moreover, some obvious false alarm bounding boxes on the background are also marked as \u201cdistractors\u201d. In Fig. 1, examples of \u201cgood\u201d images are shown in the top two rows, while \u201cdistractor\u201d and \u201cjunk\u201d images are in the bottom row.\n\nThird, each identity may have multiple images under each camera. Therefore, during cross-camera search, there may be multiple queries and multiple groundtruths for each identity. A comparison with existing datasets is shown in Table 1.\n\nFigure 2: A toy example of the difference between AP and CMC measurements. True matches and false matches are in green and red boxes, respectively. For all three rank lists, the CMC curve remains 1. But AP = 1, 1, and 0.41, respectively.\n\n3.2 Evaluation Protocol\n\nCurrent datasets typically use the Cumulated Matching Characteristics (CMC) curve to evaluate the performance of re-identification algorithms. CMC curve shows the probability that a query identity appears in different sized candidate lists. This evaluation measurement is valid only if there is only one groundtruth match for a given query (see Fig. 2(a)). In this case, the precision and recall are the same issue. However, if multiple groundtruths exist, the CMC curve is biased because \u201crecall\u201d is not considered. For example, CMC curves of Fig. 2(b) and Fig. 2(c) both equal to 1, which fails to provide a fair comparison of the quality between the two rank lists.\n\nFor Market-1501 dataset, there are on average 14.8 cross-camera groundtruths for each query. Therefore, we use mean average precision (mAP) to evaluate the overall performance. For each query, we calculate the area under the Precision-Recall curve, which is known as average precision (AP). Then, the mean value of APs of all queries, i.e., mAP, is calculated, which considers both precision and recall of an algorithm, thus providing a more comprehensive evaluation.\n\nOur dataset is randomly divided into training and testing sets, containing 750 and 751 identities, respectively. During testing, for each identity, we select one query image in each camera. Note that, the selected queries are hand-drawn, instead of DPM-detected as in the gallery. The reason is that in reality, it is very convenient to interactively draw a bounding box, which can yield higher recognition accuracy [23]. The search process is performed in a cross-camera mode, i.e., relevant images captured in the same camera as the query are viewed as \u201cjunk\u201d. In this scenario, an identity has at most 6 queries, and there are 3363 query images in total. On average, there are 4.5 query images for each identity, and each query has 14.8 groundtruth images. Queries of two sample identities are shown in Fig. 3.\n\nFigure 3: Samples query images. In Market-1501 dataset, queries are hand-drawn bounding boxes. Each identity has at most 6 queries, one for each camera.\n\n4 Our Method\n\n4.1 The Bag-of-Words Model\n\nFor three reasons, we adopt the Bag-of-Words (BoW) model. First, this model well accommodates local features, which are indicated as effective by previous works [27, 40]. Second, it enables fast global feature matching, instead of exhaustive feature-feature matching [42, 41]. Third, by quantizing similar local descriptors to the same visual word, the BoW model achieves some invariance to illumination, view, etc. We describe the individual steps below.\n\nFeature Extraction. As a baseline, we employ the Color Names (CN) descriptor [34]. Given a pedestrian image normalized to 12864 pixels, patches of size 44 are densely sampled. In our experiment, the sampling step is 4, so there is no overlapping between patches. For each patch, CN descriptors of all pixels are calculated, and are subsequently normalized followed by operator [32]. The mean vector is taken as the descriptor of this patch (see Fig. 4).\n\nFigure 4: Local feature extraction. We compute the mean CN vector for each 44 patch. These local features are quantized, and then pooled in a histogram for each horizontal stripe.\n\nCodebook. For Market-1501 dataset, we generate a codebook on the training set. For other datasets, the codebook is trained on the independent TUD-Brussels dataset [37]. Standard -means is used, and codebook size is .\n\nQuantization.

Stuxnet was supposadly highly directed but poped up in all sorts of unintended places. Stuxnet was supposadly written by \"experts\", so if the supposed experts get it badly wrong what does it say about other malware written by people not so expert, which would be the majority of malware writters.\n\nThus any cyber-weapon written by the US to be used against other countries is likley to come back at US organisations using ICS who are not part of the \"favourd few\" as well as US allies and totally uninvolved bystanders. Some of these non target nations may well suffer major harm and thus will regard the US malware as a serious attack on their Sovereignty, which for those who don't know is \"a decleration of war by deed\" and against many international treaties.\n\nNow a Sovereign nation could respond in many ways some by direct action against US persons within their borders, some by direct economic action of seizing all US assets, and some by retaliating in kind, which will lead to rapid escalation which is not good for anybody, potentialy the economic effects would be worse than a limited scale nuclear war.\n\nThe problem for the US is it is probably the number one \"Internet dependent\" nation in the world so the US gets it worse than any other nation...\n\nPut simply for the US it is more in their interest to ensure all ICS systems are secure than for any other nation, this appears to be a point lost on the \"war hawks\".\n\nThen there is the question of who comprises the \"favourd few\" and why, I sincerly doubt that anybody in the US DHS has actually sat down and worked out what the \"true critical infrastructure\" is. Modern manufacturing and society are so intermeshed it is difficult to determine exactly what would happen if an ICS cyber-weapon touched down in the US. For instance we know the \"utility\" organisations are considered critical, but what about \"food producers\", \"medical supply producers\", \"iron and steel producers\", etc, etc.\n\nWhat do you thing would happen if tommorow 30% of the processed food producers could not produce their goods?\n\nDepending on who you beleive something like half of US households do not know how to cook beyond the very very basics, certainly not enough to be able to make bread or pastry or cook meat safely. This is radicaly different to just a generation or so ago, and is largely due to the rapid increase in \"single member house holds\" in the \"proffesional classes and the asy availability of \"ready-meals\".

Confusticated\n\n Confusticated Well-Known Member\n\n I know you probably get told this alot, and may or may not believe it, but someone will come along soon. There", "base_doc": "\nWe already know of atleast one major ICS software and systems supplier that has a number of critical vulnerabilities, that they have decided to ignore and thus are selling know to be critical vulnerable systems.\n\nThe fact that ICS-CERT's Marty Edwards has basicaly decided not to make the vulnerabilities concerned a public reporting function of ICS-CERT (but the \"favourd few\" get told) means that the major supplier is under no real preasure to mend it's broken systems.\n\nI fully expect this ridiculous state of affairs to get considerably worse and for the likes of ICS-CERT to effectivly become pariahs as the industry realises they are being hung out to dry by the overly politicized idiots.\n\nNow one thing that is known that malware that exploits vulnerabilities has a habit of turning up in unexpected places. Stuxnet was supposadly highly directed but poped up in all sorts of unintended places. Stuxnet was supposadly written by \"experts\", so if the supposed experts get it badly wrong what does it say about other malware written by people not so expert, which would be the majority of malware writters.\n\nThus any cyber-weapon written by the US to be used against other countries is likley to come back at US organisations using ICS who are not part of the \"favourd few\" as well as US allies and totally uninvolved bystanders. Some of these non target nations may well suffer major harm and thus will regard the US malware as a serious attack on their Sovereignty, which for those who don't know is \"a decleration of war by deed\" and against many international treaties.\n\nNow a Sovereign nation could respond in many ways some by direct action against US persons within their borders, some by direct economic action of seizing all US assets, and some by retaliating in kind, which will lead to rapid escalation which is not good for anybody, potentialy the economic effects would be worse than a limited scale nuclear war.\n\nThe problem for the US is it is probably the number one \"Internet dependent\" nation in the world so the US gets it worse than any other nation...\n\nPut simply for the US it is more in their interest to ensure all ICS systems are secure than for any other nation, this appears to be a point lost on the \"war hawks\".\n\nThen there is the question of who comprises the \"favourd few\" and why, I sincerly doubt that anybody in the US DHS has actually sat down and worked out what the \"true critical infrastructure\" is. Modern manufacturing and society are so intermeshed it is difficult to determine exactly what would happen if an ICS cyber-weapon touched down in the US. For instance we know the \"utility\" organisations are considered critical, but what about \"food producers\", \"medical supply producers\", \"iron and steel producers\", etc, etc.\n\nWhat do you thing would happen if tommorow 30% of the processed food producers could not produce their goods?\n\nDepending on who you beleive something like half of US households do not know how to cook beyond the very very basics, certainly not enough to be able to make bread or pastry or cook meat safely. This is radicaly different to just a generation or so ago, and is largely due to the rapid increase in \"single member house holds\" in the \"proffesional classes and the asy availability of \"ready-meals\". Oh and don't say they could go to a restaurant, the major chains (ie fast food outlets) are all criticaly dependent on ICS to industrialy produce food to the point where it can be \"cooked in store\". Then there's the canning and botteling plants...\n\nSo rather than,\n\n\nThe more industrialised the nation the worse off it will be and the number one vulnerable nation is the US currently, so not \"No problem\" but \"Big problem\".\n\nOh and \"certain countries\" like China can bring the US to near economic colapse just by being a bit awkward over shipping certain goods in a timely manner. And they can do this at any time just by deciding to \"improve customs checks\".\n\nAnd we know China are well aware of this, and are acting in a way to make the situation worse for the US and other western nations, just look at what is going on with the likes of rare earth metals which is one of their more blatent tactics...\n\nSteve JonesNovember 24, 2011 2:28 PM\n\nnever mind FALSE ALARM\n(read the follow up news stories)\n\nnot unusual for the monthly SCADA cyber panics\n\na huge industry and lots of government money funding now funding it\n\nunfortunately, still having trouble finding a real example of SCADA hacking\n\none particular consultant, same guy reporting this attack, is still batting 1000\n\nMelegarDecember 15, 2011 9:03 PM\n\n\"Never mind that if the report hadn't become public, the report would have never been revealed as erroneous.\"\n\nHow do you know this?

This long, slender, low-slung animal browsed on ground cover and other low plants\u2014but it may have been able to extend its reach.\n\nLeptoceratops's front legs were shorter than its hind legs, leading to reasoning that it might have been able to stand or even walk on its hind legs.\n\nLeptoceratops had a very large head for its body size, and this skull often survives as a fossil. Leptoceratops also had a beaklike snout and a smallish neck frill. It did not sport the dramatic horns and large neck frills that are common in its more advanced and better-known relatives, such as Triceratops.\n\nAs an individual, Leptoceratops, a smallish herbivore, may have been quite vulnerable to the formidable predators of the Cretaceous period.

Freight transportation however has size and weight limitations that make electrification challenging, such that the continued emission of carbon dioxide from the combustion exhaust of heavy-duty vehicles is likely. A carbon capture strategy to intercept CO2 from mobile emission sources, analogous to stationary capture systems for power plants, is therefore attractive to reduce CO2 emissions from freight shipping. The economic and environmental implications of a conceptual technology, utilizing a porous adsorbent bed to selectively remove CO2 from tailpipe exhaust, are examined herein. In the economic evaluation, the hypothetical abatement cost for mobile carbon capture is found to be competitive with stationary capture and with vehicle electrification at about $100 per ton of avoided CO2 emissions. Based on the market potential of land freight shipping, 0.12 to 0.15 \u00b0C of avoided warming through the end of the century is achievable by the implementation of mobile carbon capture for long-haul freight vehicles.

This long, slender, low-slung animal browsed on ground cover and other low plants\u2014but it may have been able to extend its reach.\n\nLeptoceratops's front legs were shorter than its hind legs, leading to reasoning that it might have been able to stand or even walk on its hind legs.\n\nLeptoceratops had a very large head for its body size, and this skull often survives as a fossil. Leptoceratops also had a beaklike snout and a smallish neck frill. It did not sport the dramatic horns and large neck frills that are common in its more advanced and better-known relatives, such as Triceratops.\n\nAs an individual, Leptoceratops, a smallish herbivore, may have been quite vulnerable to the formidable predators of the Cretaceous period. Leptoceratops roamed western North America between 67 million and 65 million years ago.\n\nPrehistoric Features\n\n \u2022 Picture of carnotaurus\n\n Bizarre Dinosaurs\n\n\n \u2022 Picture of dimorphodon flying across the forest in a scene from the movie Flying Monsters 3D\n\n Flying Monsters 3D\n\n\n \u2022 Picture of dinosaurs during the Jurassic era\n\n Prehistoric World\n\n Discover and explore prehistoric times with galleries, time lines, quizzes, and more.\n\n \u2022 Picture of a theoretical scene of the mass extinction of dinosaurs\n\n Mass Extinctions\n\n More than 90 percent of all organisms that have ever lived on Earth are extinct.

Freight transportation however has size and weight limitations that make electrification challenging, such that the continued emission of carbon dioxide from the combustion exhaust of heavy-duty vehicles is likely. A carbon capture strategy to intercept CO2 from mobile emission sources, analogous to stationary capture systems for power plants, is therefore attractive to reduce CO2 emissions from freight shipping. The economic and environmental implications of a conceptual technology, utilizing a porous adsorbent bed to selectively remove CO2 from tailpipe exhaust, are examined herein. In the economic evaluation, the hypothetical abatement cost for mobile carbon capture is found to be competitive with stationary capture and with vehicle electrification at about $100 per ton of avoided CO2 emissions. Based on the market potential of land freight shipping, 0.12 to 0.15 \u00b0C of avoided warming through the end of the century is achievable by the implementation of mobile carbon capture for long-haul freight vehicles. Collectively, carbon capture from heavy-duty vehicles could provide a practical, cost-competitive, and sustainable contribution to mitigating global greenhouse gas emissions.\n\nKeywords carbon dioxide, separation, economics\n\nCopyright \u00a9\nEnergy Proceedings<|endoftext|>I was out in the woods with my 6 year old daughter yesterday. \u00a0She grabbed a plastic bag that she saw lying on the ground and started filling it with other trash. \u00a0We always go for the plastic first, before the cans and bottles-", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 63804, "pt_loc": 146706723, "pt_shuffle_idx": 234201410, "doc_index_f": 367110876, "doc_index_l": 367110879, "offset_f": 1052, "offset_l": 51, "pt_injection_pos": 2, "pt_window_offset": 25, "pt_injection_len": 40, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [1184, 517, 296, 52]} +{"pt_doc": " (Fiio, HRT, Herus, etc), and I appreciated its more realistic timbre.

Today, the most popular television shows, news programs, and, in particular, sporting events command extraordinary fees for commercial time. Television advertisers attach their products to entertainments with wide audiences and therefore hope to benefit from the large numbers of viewers. In the 30s, however, a company hoping to draw attention to its product was not simply responsible for creating a fifteen-second commercial; it had to provide the entertainment as well, usually fifteen, thirty, or sixty minutes worth of it. Some occasions called for a one-time production (such as the Tastyeast Company featuring music by the Tastyeast Jesters male singing quartet and a storyteller of Scandinavian dialect tales) and others, such as \"The Shadow\" sponsored by ?????? became long-lived weekly series. On sponsored programs, the line between entertainment and commercial often became blurred: retail stores sometimes broadcasted a sort of fused medium, along the lines of \"five-minute talks on pertinent subjects of the day which were tied in with facts about...merchandise and delivered in person by a member of the firm\" (Sandage 160). About one third of all radio broadcasts were sponsored ones, but they were often more memorable because they were under considerable pressure to uniquely stand out and to increase sales of their products.\n\nTelevision and radio have one extremely important characteristic in common, however: both reach enormous national audiences that most print mediums cannot even approach. In its day, radio was easily as proportionally popular as is television today: in 1937, an estimated 24,500,000 families owned a radio, adding up to about 80,000,000 individual listeners. 4,000,000 families reported owning more than one radio in their homes, and about 4,500,000 automobiles were equipped with radios. When all the math is done, approximately 33,000,000 radios were in operation in 1937, about the same total number of automobiles and telephones combined. At that time, radio obviously provided the largest audience in history to advertisers, and the potential to increase sales via broadcast was incredible when compared to newspapers that were mostly centered around their respective cities and a few popular mail-order catalogs.\n\nBing Crosby, \"an early crooner\" for women's radio.\nWhile some companies \"sandwiched\" their commercials between already-established and popular broadcasts, most placed their primary emphasis on creating interesting entertainments. Frank A. Arnold, writing Broadcast Advertising: the Fourth Dimension in 1931, pointed out that \"it should be remembered that at the start no one knew the technique of programming, nor was anyone sure just what a cosmopolitan audience such as we have in this country really wanted in the way of programs...the broadcasters were facing a demand for more and better programs\" (29).

Diekman belongs to a secret order of special ops clergy, The Cloth, that wages Hellboyish war on the unholy through exorcism and spiritualized gunplay. Jason, though reluctant to join at first, becomes a convert when confronted with demons firsthand. Soon, with the salutary example of sexy but modest Laurel (Perla Rodriguez) and gunsmith Helix (Cameron White) to guide him, Jason is utilizing a silly array of Christian weaponry like holy water grenades, armor forged from materials in the Ark of the Covenant, and corny CGI firepower to dispatch the Devil\u2019s minions.\n\nKyler Willett is handsome and likable enough as smart aleck hero Jason, but Lassiter Holmes, true to his name, tends rather too much toward lassitude as the boring Father Diekman, an uninspiring mentor to say the least. Rodriguez gets a lot of mileage from coyly brushing the hair from her eyes, and White lends just the right mix of class and kitsch with his English accent and tacky Christian t-shirts that say things like, \u201cExorcise regularly.\u201d The dialogue does sometimes leave these actors in the lurch, however, and never rises above the mildly amusing level of, \u201cThat\u2019s holy water \u2013 bitch.\u201d\n\nMore damaging than any shortcomings of casting, however, are the filmmakers\u2019 insistence on bringing to the screen effects-reliant phantasmagorias that are simply beyond the means of such a limited budget. The action sequences, too, are sometimes overly abrupt and insufficiently covered.\u00a0The Cloth, consequently, is about as scary as the cover of the Louvin Brothers\u2019 album Satan Is Real.\u00a0Those interested in studying or actualizing the cavernous blackness of the Catholic imagination would do better to turn to the philosophical horrors of William Peter Blatty, The Ninth Configuration and Exorcist III, which rely on depth of atmosphere and the weight of ideas rather than special effects to keep audiences alert and entertained.\n\nIdeological Content Analysis indicates that The Cloth is:\n\n11. Anti-state. As an unjust court decision demonstrates, justice is to be had not through secular law, but through the arms of a militant Church.\n\n10. Anti-capitalistic. A priest taking diabolical bribes is unwilling to assist a poor parishioner whose contribution is understandably small. This venal villain is repaid handsomely when coins pour from his mouth in a torrent.\n\n9. Pro-life. Jason\u2019s father, Diekman relates, resisted the counsel to \u201cterminate\u201d Laurel\u2019s life when she was possessed and instead chose to see the potential for good in her.\n\n8. Anti-drug. Drinking and driving means accidents. Jason, a drinker at the beginning of the film, later fills his hip flask with holy water. The Devil\u2019s possessed snort lines of cocaine.\n\n7. Multiculturalist. Anglos and Hispanics work together more than once. \u201cThe very basis of our beliefs stems from the arrival of the Apostles from such places as Jerusalem, Africa, and even Asia.\u201d (cf. no. 3)\n\n6. Pro-gun. One gun owner standing in the way of the Cloth\u2019s mission brandishes his weapon threateningly, but firearms are for the most part represented positively as indispensable implements of the Lord\u2019s work.\n\n5.

Mom Is Stunned After Meeting Him\n\n\nMany middle school-age children don\u2019t want their parents dropping them off right in front of the school. Because they want to seem independent and separate from their parents, kids around middle school age often don\u2019t want their peers seeing them getting a kiss or hug from their parents. But when middle school student Audrey from California did not get dropped off down the block from school one day, she was angry at her mom \u2013 but not because she hated being seen with her.\n\nAudrey wanted to meet a strange man before school. It was a guy who had been talking to her for some time now. Her mom wanted to know why her daughter was so angry about it. The middle schooler said that she loved talking to the \u201ccute little old man\u201d before classes started.\n\nThat was enough to terrify Audrey\u2019s mother. Who was the strange man approaching her daughter before school? What were his intentions? She decided to do some digging. She drove over to where the man was hiding and immediately her heart burst. The man was not trying to cause any harm to her daughter. He was a harmless, and kindhearted 94-year-old United States Navy veteran.\n\nThe veteran\u2019s name is Wally Richardson. He served in the Navy, but the students at Marina Village Middle School know him as \u201cMr. Knuckles.\u201d And the decorated veteran is okay with the foolish name.\n\nWally loves children. They remind him why he served in the military in the first place. He loves seeing how full of life they are and how they have dreams and aspirations. So he gets up early so he can spend a few minutes with the inspiring children before they start school. But first, he eats a hearty breakfast and does some movement exercises \u2013 things he learned to do every day while in the Navy.\n\nWith his routine finished, he goes over to the middle school so he can greet the children in the morning. He gives the children handshakes and a big smile. He also offers advice and wisdom to the young souls.\n\nThe children then go into class with a boost of energy from the Navy veteran. And he gets to go back home and enjoy the rest of his day knowing that he did something good first thing in the morning. It\u2019s a win-win situation for all parties involved.\n\nThis routine is nothing new for the 94-year-old veteran. Wally has welcomed the students at the middle school almost every day for the last ten years. He\u2019s a regular person there in the mornings. And he helps the children prepare for learning without expecting anything in return.\n\nStudents all seem to agree: the morning routine with Wally is a highlight of their day. Because they get to meet an honorable Navy veteran and hear his stories about life, they learn so much. And in the video below, you\u2019ll get to see Wally in action and discover more about why he has such a positive impact on the children at the middle school.\n\nWhat do you think about the service this veteran offers the children? Do you think they\u2019re learning a lot from the 94-year-old?\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\nPlease enter your name here<|endoftext|>The accused then broke into the house and tried unsuccessfully to open the safe and then to remove it.<|endoftext|>In PART I of this blog series, I established the basics behind immunity, metabolic health and diet, and the immunometabolism.

A few tweaks will not only promote greater vitality and wellbeing, but you will notice significant improvements in your ability to fight off or recover from illness/d", "base_doc": "\n\nFollowing the deaths of his parents and his disillusionment at the acquittal of a murderous drunk driver, young Jason (Kyler Willett) would be content to spend his life in hedonistic abandon, clubbing, drinking, and bagging chicks; but Father Diekman (Lassiter Holmes) has other plans for the lad. Diekman belongs to a secret order of special ops clergy, The Cloth, that wages Hellboyish war on the unholy through exorcism and spiritualized gunplay. Jason, though reluctant to join at first, becomes a convert when confronted with demons firsthand. Soon, with the salutary example of sexy but modest Laurel (Perla Rodriguez) and gunsmith Helix (Cameron White) to guide him, Jason is utilizing a silly array of Christian weaponry like holy water grenades, armor forged from materials in the Ark of the Covenant, and corny CGI firepower to dispatch the Devil\u2019s minions.\n\nKyler Willett is handsome and likable enough as smart aleck hero Jason, but Lassiter Holmes, true to his name, tends rather too much toward lassitude as the boring Father Diekman, an uninspiring mentor to say the least. Rodriguez gets a lot of mileage from coyly brushing the hair from her eyes, and White lends just the right mix of class and kitsch with his English accent and tacky Christian t-shirts that say things like, \u201cExorcise regularly.\u201d The dialogue does sometimes leave these actors in the lurch, however, and never rises above the mildly amusing level of, \u201cThat\u2019s holy water \u2013 bitch.\u201d\n\nMore damaging than any shortcomings of casting, however, are the filmmakers\u2019 insistence on bringing to the screen effects-reliant phantasmagorias that are simply beyond the means of such a limited budget. The action sequences, too, are sometimes overly abrupt and insufficiently covered.\u00a0The Cloth, consequently, is about as scary as the cover of the Louvin Brothers\u2019 album Satan Is Real.\u00a0Those interested in studying or actualizing the cavernous blackness of the Catholic imagination would do better to turn to the philosophical horrors of William Peter Blatty, The Ninth Configuration and Exorcist III, which rely on depth of atmosphere and the weight of ideas rather than special effects to keep audiences alert and entertained.\n\nIdeological Content Analysis indicates that The Cloth is:\n\n11. Anti-state. As an unjust court decision demonstrates, justice is to be had not through secular law, but through the arms of a militant Church.\n\n10. Anti-capitalistic. A priest taking diabolical bribes is unwilling to assist a poor parishioner whose contribution is understandably small. This venal villain is repaid handsomely when coins pour from his mouth in a torrent.\n\n9. Pro-life. Jason\u2019s father, Diekman relates, resisted the counsel to \u201cterminate\u201d Laurel\u2019s life when she was possessed and instead chose to see the potential for good in her.\n\n8. Anti-drug. Drinking and driving means accidents. Jason, a drinker at the beginning of the film, later fills his hip flask with holy water. The Devil\u2019s possessed snort lines of cocaine.\n\n7. Multiculturalist. Anglos and Hispanics work together more than once. \u201cThe very basis of our beliefs stems from the arrival of the Apostles from such places as Jerusalem, Africa, and even Asia.\u201d (cf. no. 3)\n\n6. Pro-gun. One gun owner standing in the way of the Cloth\u2019s mission brandishes his weapon threateningly, but firearms are for the most part represented positively as indispensable implements of the Lord\u2019s work.\n\n5. Miscegenation-ambivalent. Jason and white-enough Hispanic cutie Laurel walk away hand-in-hand at the end, but interracial pairings of spicier stuff are strictly the province of the Devil.\n\n4. Anti-slut/anti-gay. Good girl Laurel represents sexual modesty charmingly.

The Playstation 2 is their main contender for the upcoming battle to win consumer's living rooms, which they hope will give them a stranglehold over the services people use with broadband internet access, and DVD. Some have described it as a \"Trojan Horse\" because of Sony's lofty rumoured plans for it. It was originally unveiled (after a fashion) last year with excessive fanfare and hype. Sony's main selling point is that the machine has a significantly faster CPU. They couched this in risible marketing speak, dubbing the chip an \"Emotion Engine\" while neatly ignoring the fact that the PS2 lacks many graphical features that PC games take for granted.\n\nIn the machine's favour, it is very fast, and Sony hope that the ridiculous fill-rate will help developers prop up its weak feature set with clever software routines. Whether developers will invest the time and money to do this, especially in the light of horror stories about the somewhat lacking development environment, is another matter. It also includes hardware DVD playback. There is room for expansion with networking and storage components as well.\n\nThere are many beefs that I have with this machine. Bear in mind that they are in some cases rather subjective, and there are very few that would actually prevent the enjoyment of a good, well-written game on the platform (should any appear).\n\nFirst up is the ugly design. I don't know if it's a deliberate reaction against Apple's crazy idea of making consumer electronics aesthetically pleasing, but there are three things I do know : It's very big, It's very (Amstrad) ugly, and it's very cheaply made (the CD tray in particular being worryingly flimsy). Time will tell if the hardware limitations described above cripple the machine, but the games I have seen so far have all used a hideously low resolution mode with massive jaggies. Metal Gear Solid 2, while it looks like a very nicely designed game, is already buckling to these limitations - low-poly models, sparse textures and jaggies everyewhere. How can Sony describe this machine as even technically competent, let alone revolutionary?\n\nThe European launch of the machine has been widely criticised as being something of a dog's dinner, with Sony's pre-order scheme (devised solely for the purposes of hype) backfiring spectacularly, with the machine being repeatedly delayed, and numbers slashed to under 200,000 for the whole continent. Sony tried to dictate their terms to retailers (for instance an almost non-existent profit margin forcing many stores to bundle 3 or more games with the machine just to break even), while further damaging relations with them by setting up an online retail channel.\n\nTo prove that they really know about industrial-strength greed, they even bundled a version of BASIC with the machine to have it classified as a computer rather than a console, and reduce their import duty.\n\nBy way of comparison, Sega offer their Dreamcast console (which is technically slightly inferior, but has more texture memory to spruce up games - allowing, for instance, a full-detail version of Quake 3 Arena) along with a bunch of titles and a seperate, non-regioned DVD player for the same price as the gameless, regioned PS2. However, marketing will still likely win the day for the Sony camp, at least for now.\n\nBasically, this episode has indicated that Sony Computer Entertainment have adopted Atari's attitude from the early 80's along with their business practices. Arrogance and complacency will likely prevent the machine from dominating in the same way as its largely competition-less predecessor. I for one will be sticking with my PC as the primary games platform, and waiting to see what Nintendo have to offer next year. If Sony's total lack of commitment to software quality control continues, they're long overdue for a bit of a backlash.\n\nUpdate, Feb 2002\n\nOK, the Playstation 2 is not as evil as I originally made out. Although it is definitely lacking some technical refinement (the resolution and lack of texture memory being most apparent, but Sony argue that the memory is set up to act as a streaming buffer rather than a conventional static repository of textures), and Sony were very slow to lower the price to a reasonable level, it has sold like hot cakes and now has a few excellent titles in its library.\n\nOf course, having three main consoles to choose from means that it isn't going to be the natural choice for everyone, but Sony were quite canny picking the right time for once to bring the machine out. (Timing can make or break a machine.) In effect, the machine is a continuation of the PSX, catering for the wider market by cutting some corners. I never bought a PSX because it established itself as the 'only' choice but didn't cater for all genres. (Plus it was graphically shite.) The PS2 might have the same problem, but at least now there are viable alternatives with decent third party support.\n\nThis write-up is a serious warning about Playstation 2.\n\nThere's a major PS2 defect absent from nuage's specs and fondue's marketing history:\n\nYour Playstation 2 has a serious chance of dying in 6-12 months.\n\nMine did. So I went to several different electronics stores and spoke with several different employees, and the word was unanimous:\n\nPlaystation 2 is a highly degenerative piece of shit.\n\nThis is how it goes:\n\nYou want a Playstation 2. Maybe you owned an original Playstation and liked both its games and durability1. Maybe it\u2019s the allure of PS2 games, like the online-playable Madden 2003, or the PS2-only Grand Theft Auto III (and Vice City). Maybe you like the idea of having a single machine that plays DVDs, CDs, and kick-ass video games. Or maybe it's because Xbox's controllers fit the human hand like a black iron chastity belt. Whatever your flavor, you want a Playstation 2.\n\nSo you buy one, and this is what happens:\n\nYou take it home, hook it up and play some Madden. Cool. It works. Then you get really ambitious. You dim the lights, pull down the shades, and grab the hand lotion and your favorite Tera Patrick DVD and get ready to take the term PLAYSTATION to a whole new level. But something happens.\n\nDisk Read Error\n\nEh? So it doesn't read every single DVD. Whatever, nothing's perfect. So you pop in a Jenna Jameson favorite instead.\n\nDisk Read Error\n\nOk. The porn industry isn't exactly known for its technical quality, so you pop in a high quality studio release. Let's say a remastered version of Cinderella.\n\nDisk Read Error\n\nWhat the fuck? After going through your entire DVD collection, you discover your PS2 only reads around 33% of your movies, and half of those freeze while playing.\n\nOk, so it's not the most reliable DVD player.

Arrogance and complacency will likely prevent the machine from dominating in the same way as its largely competition-less predecessor. I for one will be sticking with my PC as the primary games platform, and waiting to see what Nintendo have to offer next year. If Sony's total lack of commitment to software quality control continues, they're long overdue for a bit of a backlash.\n\nUpdate, Feb 2002\n\nOK, the Playstation 2 is not as evil as I originally made out. Although it is definitely lacking some technical refinement (the resolution and lack of texture memory being most apparent, but Sony argue that the memory is set up to act as a streaming buffer rather than a conventional static repository of textures), and Sony were very slow to lower the price to a reasonable level, it has sold like hot cakes and now has a few excellent titles in its library.\n\nOf course, having three main consoles to choose from means that it isn't going to be the natural choice for everyone, but Sony were quite canny picking the right time for once to bring the machine out. (Timing can make or break a machine.) In effect, the machine is a continuation of the PSX, catering for the wider market by cutting some corners. I never bought a PSX because it established itself as the 'only' choice but didn't cater for all genres. (Plus it was graphically shite.) The PS2 might have the same problem, but at least now there are viable alternatives with decent third party support.\n\nThis write-up is a serious warning about Playstation 2.\n\nThere's a major PS2 defect absent from nuage's specs and fondue's marketing history:\n\nYour Playstation 2 has a serious chance of dying in 6-12 months.\n\nMine did. So I went to several different electronics stores and spoke with several different employees, and the word was unanimous:\n\nPlaystation 2 is a highly degenerative piece of shit.\n\nThis is how it goes:\n\nYou want a Playstation 2. Maybe you owned an original Playstation and liked both its games and durability1. Maybe it\u2019s the allure of PS2 games, like the online-playable Madden 2003, or the PS2-only Grand Theft Auto III (and Vice City). Maybe you like the idea of having a single machine that plays DVDs, CDs, and kick-ass video games. Or maybe it's because Xbox's controllers fit the human hand like a black iron chastity belt. Whatever your flavor, you want a Playstation 2.\n\nSo you buy one, and this is what happens:\n\nYou take it home, hook it up and play some Madden. Cool. It works. Then you get really ambitious. You dim the lights, pull down the shades, and grab the hand lotion and your favorite Tera Patrick DVD and get ready to take the term PLAYSTATION to a whole new level. But something happens.\n\nDisk Read Error\n\nEh? So it doesn't read every single DVD. Whatever, nothing's perfect. So you pop in a Jenna Jameson favorite instead.\n\nDisk Read Error\n\nOk. The porn industry isn't exactly known for its technical quality, so you pop in a high quality studio release. Let's say a remastered version of Cinderella.\n\nDisk Read Error\n\nWhat the fuck? After going through your entire DVD collection, you discover your PS2 only reads around 33% of your movies, and half of those freeze while playing.\n\nOk, so it's not the most reliable DVD player. Haha Sony! You pulled one on me. It still plays great games, and that's what you bought it for, right?\n\nThree to six months pass, and more importantly SONY'S 90-DAY WARRANTY EX", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 68712, "pt_loc": 50179912, "pt_shuffle_idx": 228349851, "doc_index_f": 357944220, "doc_index_l": 357944221, "offset_f": 3731, "offset_l": 1825, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 41, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [223, 1826]} +{"pt_doc": "\n\"He is excellent.

In terms of nuclear arsenal, is still by far a small and only potential threat but because of the extremely reckless and unpredictable nature of its behavior, it presents a special kind of threat.\n\nTo deal with such a threat Japan, the US and South Korea need to maintain credible nuclear and non-nuclear deterrence to deter any major attempt by North Korea and conventional preparedness to counter any low-intensity provocation. \u201cDefense and deterrence\u201d is the key phrase. Missile defense, for example, is not only good as defense as such but also as a proof of deniability of any North Korean provocation or intimidation.\n\nFaced with the series of North Korean military provocations there have been talks of asking the US to reintroduce its tactical nuclear weapons to the Peninsula or even to get nukes for South Korea rather than discussing nuclear reduction.\n\nIn Japan, too, there was a brief period of time after North Korean nuclear tests when a small group of Japanese argued for inviting American nuclear forces to be stationed in Japan or even to consider acquiring nuclear weapons. But the arguments were very much short-lived and limited to the extreme conservative wing of the Japanese political spectrum.\n\nJapan wants the nuclear reduction between the US and Russia to proceed with the ultimate goal of achieving a world without nuclear weapons. But in the process it wants the US to retain credible extended deterrence over Japan and South Korea. How much of the US presence in the region is sufficient for the credibility is indeed a question. In the case of Japan while the central government wants to retain the US forward deployment, there is always a local pressure to reduce the host-nation burden.\n\nThere is a good book recently published about how to maintain an effective deterrence during disarmament process by James Acton for the IISS.\n\nOnce I told an American security expert that some Japanese security experts are concerned that if the American nuclear arsenal is drastically reduced, one day the US may tell Japan it no longer can offer extended deterrence. He responded by saying if the number is reduced, one day the US may have to move from counter-force strategy to counter-value strategy. That is the strategy those who argue for minimum deterrence in China or India take. But, when I mentioned this to another American expert, he said the US perhaps will not make that shift because it is morally repugnant and politically unacceptable to attack cities.\n\nJames Acton argued in his book that \u201clarge arsenals contribute little to the effectiveness of deterrence, even extended deterrence. The success of extended deterrence in the Cold War was the result of the strength of the US political commitment to its allies, not the size of its arsenal.\u201d A Russian expert, Yury Solomonov, recently wrote that Russia needs no more than 1,200 warheads to maintain strategic deterrence arguing that the issue of minimal sufficient size of nuclear forces is philosophical rather than military-technical.\n\nFinally, the recent Japanese experience of the earthquake, tsunami and Fukushima nuclear disaster in a way strengthened the Japanese general perception that when the extreme situation arrives, the final support comes from the United States. In the recent case, it was the large size rescue operation assistance provided by the US forces in the region and specifically the kind of assistance the US provided in the fight to contain the Fukushima nuclear disaster. In a way the US was better prepared, apparently because the US once experienced the TMI accident, feel threatened by nuclear terrorism and perhaps it considers one day it may have to fight warfare involving nuclear weapons. I think the people in Japan realize today that the US is a friend they need to keep by them and also the need to prepare against nuclear terrorism more seriously.\n\n* * *\n\nSpeaker - Lt Gen (Ret.) VR Raghavan, Delhi Policy Group\nExisting & Emerging Threats to International Security\nA View from India\n\nIndian defence planners consider the state\u2019s capabilities to be adequate to face external military threats. India is therefore not in an arms race, either in conventional or nuclear capabilities. Indian priority in defence is on modernization of armed forces by absorbing latest technologies, and to match technology thresholds being created by its major neighbors. Indian nuclear weapons related capacities are being developed on similar basis. Indian perspectives on nuclear deterrence are determined by regional and global parameters of proliferation, and of real or implied nuclear blackmail in conflict scenarios.\n\nThe principal threats to India are a mix of economic and security risks. In the economic arena these risks relate to security of trade routes and energy flows. Indian trade and energy inflows are overwhelmingly dependent on maritime security. Its level depends largely on international cooperation and collaborative security initiatives.\n\nIndian strategic perspective has in the last two decades shifted in favor of international collaboration and engagement. This has significantly and favorably changed India\u2019s economic and security led relations with all major and medium powers. This has also demonstrated India\u2019s capacity to be a security stabilizer.\n\nIn this otherwise stable security environment, threats related to nuclear weapons and their impact on deterrence have multiplied. These have emerged from the trend towards nuclear proliferation and growth of international terrorism. The Cold War experience of nuclear restraint and responsibility has been effectively replaced by grave dangers of nuclear and other WMD terrorism. This has led to heightened risks of conflict escalation. A catastrophic terrorist attack leading to conventional war, and its escalating towards a nuclear exchange is no longer an improbability. This risks creating hitherto unknown interpretations of deterrence and dangers to its stability. The combination of nuclear weapons and terrorism has thus extended the conflict spectrum, to include terrorist action at one end to a nuclear exchange at the other. While international collective action and mature statesmanship can reduce and contain this danger, the risk of having to manage nuclear deterrence under unstable conditions is real.\n\nDeterrence will have to be based from now on multiple instruments which can be applied in an integrated manner. A combination of conventional military and nuclear capabilities, of economic sanctions and of coordinated international responses, all supported by multilateral organizations like the UN, will form the basis of deterrence. Nuclear deterrence by itself, and applied by a single state, is more likely to be counterproductive.\n\nThe targets of deterrence and the activities being deterred can range from proliferation related activities, to use of international terrorism as instrument of state policy, to military provocation and adventurism. India views nuclear deterrence as a means of limited value against the new range of threats facing it and the international community. A combination of instruments will therefore need to be utilized to obtain a cumulatively constructive impact, to prevent the new range of threats from impacting on the security of a state, or a region or on a global scale. Nuclear deterrence is therefore in need of being reinterpreted as one amongst a range of options, and even more as an option of last resort.\n\n* * *\n\nSpeaker - General (ret.) Jehangir Karamat, former Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, Pakistan\n\nExisting and Emerging Threats to International Security\nA View from South Asia\n\nSouth Asia is a region where the two biggest countries\u2014India and Pakistan \u2013are nuclear weapon states. It is a region where there is ongoing unrestricted activity to increase stockpiles and improve delivery systems. Both countries have unresolved disputes and a history of using conventional and asymmetric force against each other.\n\nTill quite recently military or politico-military considerations dominated the policy discourse. There is a change now and increasingly economic, political and social factors are being factored into the security considerations and their interconnectedness with politico-military considerations is being highlighted. There is a much more comprehensive view of security of security now especially in Pakistan.\n\nAs in other regions the South Asian region has dynamics specific to it as a region. The contemporary situation in South Asia has its own geo-political environment, ethno-religious \u2013cultural situations that shape domestic opinion and political debate and distinct military policies as well as civil-military relations. External players have an influence on the region and on both countries.\n\nThe region has faced deterrence stability crises, crises or situations from arms races and they have bipolar and multi-polar considerations that act as drivers for their policies. (There is the India-Pakistan relationship. India has concerns over China and China has concerns with India, Russia and the US. Iran could be a future issue for all).\n\nThere is an existing conventional force and nuclear weapons asymmetry between India and Pakistan that is steadily growing in India\u2019s favor.\n\nThere is the protracted and seemingly intractable conflict over Kashmir that casts a long shadow over bilateral relations and has been the reason for past wars and use of sub-conventional violence. The issue remains unresolved.\n\nThe two countries have differing perceptions of the center of gravity of instability in the region. Pakistan looks at India as having regional hegemonic ambitions that it seeks to realize by weakening Pakistan and it resists this by all means. India sees its regional dominance as a consequence of its size and progress and does not see Pakistan as an equal\u2014in fact it has concerns over radicalization and terror spreading from Pakistan. Neither has really discarded destabilization of the other as a tool of policy.\n\nThere are many asymmetries that influence present and future threats to security in the region. They view external players differently\u2014US, China, Russia, Iran and Afghanistan. There is marked conventional force imbalance in India\u2019s favor and this is growing as Pakistan can no longer match it---Pakistan\u2019s policy now factors in this imbalance", "base_doc": "ible US deterrence vis-\u00e0-vis China\u201d, for which the US needs to maintain qualitative superiority over China in major military fields, e.g. missile defense, air supremacy, naval control, and cyber security.\n\nQuantitative margin over China is important not only in a pure military sense but also for psychological and symbolic reasons.\n\nNorth Korea.

Missile defense, for example, is not only good as defense as such but also as a proof of deniability of any North Korean provocation or intimidation.\n\nFaced with the series of North Korean military provocations there have been talks of asking the US to reintroduce its tactical nuclear weapons to the Peninsula or even to get nukes for South Korea rather than discussing nuclear reduction.\n\nIn Japan, too, there was a brief period of time after North Korean nuclear tests when a small group of Japanese argued for inviting American nuclear forces to be stationed in Japan or even to consider acquiring nuclear weapons. But the arguments were very much short-lived and limited to the extreme conservative wing of the Japanese political spectrum.\n\nJapan wants the nuclear reduction between the US and Russia to proceed with the ultimate goal of achieving a world without nuclear weapons. But in the process it wants the US to retain credible extended deterrence over Japan and South Korea. How much of the US presence in the region is sufficient for the credibility is indeed a question. In the case of Japan while the central government wants to retain the US forward deployment, there is always a local pressure to reduce the host-nation burden.\n\nThere is a good book recently published about how to maintain an effective deterrence during disarmament process by James Acton for the IISS.\n\nOnce I told an American security expert that some Japanese security experts are concerned that if the American nuclear arsenal is drastically reduced, one day the US may tell Japan it no longer can offer extended deterrence. He responded by saying if the number is reduced, one day the US may have to move from counter-force strategy to counter-value strategy. That is the strategy those who argue for minimum deterrence in China or India take. But, when I mentioned this to another American expert, he said the US perhaps will not make that shift because it is morally repugnant and politically unacceptable to attack cities.\n\nJames Acton argued in his book that \u201clarge arsenals contribute little to the effectiveness of deterrence, even extended deterrence. The success of extended deterrence in the Cold War was the result of the strength of the US political commitment to its allies, not the size of its arsenal.\u201d A Russian expert, Yury Solomonov, recently wrote that Russia needs no more than 1,200 warheads to maintain strategic deterrence arguing that the issue of minimal sufficient size of nuclear forces is philosophical rather than military-technical.\n\nFinally, the recent Japanese experience of the earthquake, tsunami and Fukushima nuclear disaster in a way strengthened the Japanese general perception that when the extreme situation arrives, the final support comes from the United States. In the recent case, it was the large size rescue operation assistance provided by the US forces in the region and specifically the kind of assistance the US provided in the fight to contain the Fukushima nuclear disaster. In a way the US was better prepared, apparently because the US once experienced the TMI accident, feel threatened by nuclear terrorism and perhaps it considers one day it may have to fight warfare involving nuclear weapons. I think the people in Japan realize today that the US is a friend they need to keep by them and also the need to prepare against nuclear terrorism more seriously.\n\n* * *\n\nSpeaker - Lt Gen (Ret.) VR Raghavan, Delhi Policy Group\nExisting & Emerging Threats to International Security\nA View from India\n\nIndian defence planners consider the state\u2019s capabilities to be adequate to face external military threats. India is therefore not in an arms race, either in conventional or nuclear capabilities. Indian priority in defence is on modernization of armed forces by absorbing latest technologies, and to match technology thresholds being created by its major neighbors. Indian nuclear weapons related capacities are being developed on similar basis. Indian perspectives on nuclear deterrence are determined by regional and global parameters of proliferation, and of real or implied nuclear blackmail in conflict scenarios.\n\nThe principal threats to India are a mix of economic and security risks. In the economic arena these risks relate to security of trade routes and energy flows. Indian trade and energy inflows are overwhelmingly dependent on maritime security. Its level depends largely on international cooperation and collaborative security initiatives.\n\nIndian strategic perspective has in the last two decades shifted in favor of international collaboration and engagement. This has significantly and favorably changed India\u2019s economic and security led relations with all major and medium powers. This has also demonstrated India\u2019s capacity to be a security stabilizer.\n\nIn this otherwise stable security environment, threats related to nuclear weapons and their impact on deterrence have multiplied. These have emerged from the trend towards nuclear proliferation and growth of international terrorism. The Cold War experience of nuclear restraint and responsibility has been effectively replaced by grave dangers of nuclear and other WMD terrorism. This has led to heightened risks of conflict escalation. A catastrophic terrorist attack leading to conventional war, and its escalating towards a nuclear exchange is no longer an improbability. This risks creating hitherto unknown interpretations of deterrence and dangers to its stability. The combination of nuclear weapons and terrorism has thus extended the conflict spectrum, to include terrorist action at one end to a nuclear exchange at the other. While international collective action and mature statesmanship can reduce and contain this danger, the risk of having to manage nuclear deterrence under unstable conditions is real.\n\nDeterrence will have to be based from now on multiple instruments which can be applied in an integrated manner. A combination of conventional military and nuclear capabilities, of economic sanctions and of coordinated international responses, all supported by multilateral organizations like the UN, will form the basis of deterrence. Nuclear deterrence by itself, and applied by a single state, is more likely to be counterproductive.\n\nThe targets of deterrence and the activities being deterred can range from proliferation related activities, to use of international terrorism as instrument of state policy, to military provocation and adventurism. India views nuclear deterrence as a means of limited value against the new range of threats facing it and the international community. A combination of instruments will therefore need to be utilized to obtain a cumulatively constructive impact, to prevent the new range of threats from impacting on the security of a state, or a region or on a global scale. Nuclear deterrence is therefore in need of being reinterpreted as one amongst a range of options, and even more as an option of last resort.\n\n* * *\n\nSpeaker - General (ret.) Jehangir Karamat, former Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, Pakistan\n\nExisting and Emerging Threats to International Security\nA View from South Asia\n\nSouth Asia is a region where the two biggest countries\u2014India and Pakistan \u2013are nuclear weapon states. It is a region where there is ongoing unrestricted activity to increase stockpiles and improve delivery systems. Both countries have unresolved disputes and a history of using conventional and asymmetric force against each other.\n\nTill quite recently military or politico-military considerations dominated the policy discourse. There is a change now and increasingly economic, political and social factors are being factored into the security considerations and their interconnectedness with politico-military considerations is being highlighted. There is a much more comprehensive view of security of security now especially in Pakistan.\n\nAs in other regions the South Asian region has dynamics specific to it as a region. The contemporary situation in South Asia has its own geo-political environment, ethno-religious \u2013cultural situations that shape domestic opinion and political debate and distinct military policies as well as civil-military relations. External players have an influence on the region and on both countries.\n\nThe region has faced deterrence stability crises, crises or situations from arms races and they have bipolar and multi-polar considerations that act as drivers for their policies. (There is the India-Pakistan relationship. India has concerns over China and China has concerns with India, Russia and the US. Iran could be a future issue for all).\n\nThere is an existing conventional force and nuclear weapons asymmetry between India and Pakistan that is steadily growing in India\u2019s favor.\n\nThere is the protracted and seemingly intractable conflict over Kashmir that casts a long shadow over bilateral relations and has been the reason for past wars and use of sub-conventional violence. The issue remains unresolved.\n\nThe two countries have differing perceptions of the center of gravity of instability in the region. Pakistan looks at India as having regional hegemonic ambitions that it seeks to realize by weakening Pakistan and it resists this by all means. India sees its regional dominance as a consequence of its size and progress and does not see Pakistan as an equal\u2014in fact it has concerns over radicalization and terror spreading from Pakistan. Neither has really discarded destabilization of the other as a tool of policy.\n\nThere are many asymmetries that influence present and future threats to security in the region. They view external players differently\u2014US, China, Russia, Iran and Afghanistan. There is marked conventional force imbalance in India\u2019s favor and this is growing as Pakistan can no longer match it---Pakistan\u2019s policy now factors in this imbalance as a given.

As part of the reading assignments for week three, I was particularly intrigued by the content and the thrust of the argument in the article titled \"What happens next? Five crucibles of innovation that will shape the coming decade\" because it purported to foresee the eventualities of global economies and suggested that forward looking companies should take the opinions expressed in the article into consideration when developing a corresponding forward-looking strategies. I was compelled to pay particular attention to the main points of what it terms as its 'crucibles' mostly because as I read all five of them, the ideas expressed in them seemed to portend contradictory results.\n\nIn totality, the article rightly identified the world as a complex, multipolar, and interconnected world, in which the biggest challenge facing forward-looking businesses will not be their capability to respond to their known competitors, but their ability to learning how to respond to a world in which the frame and basis of competition is in perpetual flux, thereby requiring these businesses adapt to the inevitable changes that will result from emerging market economies. Because these dynamics will be affecting strategies heavily, particularly in the way these emerging-market economies' evolve, innovation will lead to leaps and bounds of prosperity. However, a few underlying premises regarding the innovations and the demographic dynamics presented within the article itself seem to contradict its own premises. So, let's look at what was stated and how a forward-looking business intending on developing a worldwide strategy should adjust its plan and strategy in light of the chance that forecasts could be erroneous.\n\nIn Crucible 1, the article made two underpinning arguments, i.e., first, emerging economies will have \"simultaneous labor force growth and rapidly declining birth rates\" which equates to \"more workers plus fewer mouths to feed [which in turn] equals more disposable income.\" The second is that \"China and India are seeing labor productivity grow at more than five times the rate of most Western countries.\" The first premise is inherently myopic. In fact, in Crucible 2, where the article addresses the productivity imperative, it discusses productivity, employee skillets and the expansion of economies. In particular, it cites the\u00a0 United States, for example, as having 85 percent of the new jobs created in the past decade requiring complex knowledge skills i.e., analyzing information, problem solving, rendering judgment, and thinking creatively. But, if people in emerging economies are not having offspring or there are not enough people to support the consumption of goods that support an emerging market economy and the Social Security equivalent structures within these economies, these highly educated consumers will divert their disposable income toward their retirement future rather than spend in the near term, therefore causing a slump in demand for goods in the economy and a consequent slowdown of the discussed economies.\n\nThe economies that will remain vibrant into the future will be economies that have a mechanism that continually infuses its middle classes with vibrant energetic workforces. A type of workforce whose discretionary income is growing, and whose progeny also increases, or perhaps, where there will be younger immigrants that will fill the role of working class to provide for and fill the monetary vacuum needed to cover for the lack of total retirement investment money used for other activities such as shopping. This is not to assert that consumers cannot concurrently shore up an economy through consumption and save for retirement, only that for economies to keep growing and consumers have to have enough to do both consumption and saving for retirement at a proportion that is healthy enough to support economic growth. That sort of support will usually result from innovative economy that some would argue are in the emerging market economies, but which I assert are also more prevalent in the western economies.\n\nFranky, there needs to be some degree of clarity with regard to the definition of innovation. The articles appears to use the term to mean that innovation is the localized clever use of enabling technologies to reach high levels of productivity, whereas innovation should also be viewed more broadly as the enabling technology absent which its clever use will not be possible. These enabling technologies often emerge, not from emerging market economies, rather from industrialized nations. The research that led to the technology that enabled Tata\u2019s 'innovative' Nano $2,200 car came not from an emerging economy but from research institutions in the West. These industrial nations may also continue to grow, though not as rapidly, at least in the short run, as the emerging market economies, because, in comparison to the emerging market economies, there is already some degree of saturation that limits the rapid expansion of consumption since its middle classes have long been consuming. So, for a business spoiling to expand its operations and market share in the worldwide economy, it would be wise to develop a strategic plan that is nimble enough to adapt to the sinusoidal move of consumption that will inevitably vary according to the fluctuations of the consumer populations. A strategy that excludes demographic dynamics likely does so at its peril.\n\nQuestion: Should companies continuously be on the look-out for signs of change in the market that could render their strategic plans obsolete, so as to be able to to effectively adapt their strategy?\n\n[1] Economic Facts about BRIC countries and Western economies.\n\n[2] What happens next?\nFive crucibles of innovation that will shape the coming decade (assigned case).

I don't know, but when using Photoshop on a 16GB MBP, I often notice that PS is using gigabytes of scratch space on the MBP's internal SSD e.g. when uprezzing and rotating a slighty tilted 24MP picture.

I think it's quite successful at conveying the Leica qualities I mentioned above, and evinces a really competent designer who's able to grasp the nature, the essence of the product he's working on, and translate it into an actual physical object.\n\nA second-rate designer who hasn't got the intellectual abilities to grasp the essential character of a product, OTOH, would deliver something that looks like what a 12-year old with a CAD program would come up with, merely providing an uninspired wrapping of the mandated dimensional constraints like rangefinder baseline length, flangeback distance, mount dimensions, lens diameter etc.\nI must, however, admit that said camera was apparently judged good enough by a Chinese buyer to pay a large sum for it.\n\nSince Steve Jobs' death, it seems that nobody at Apple is able to remain grounded and think about actual user requirements when considering product design, especially for their \"Pro\" line of computers. Jony Ive's mediocrity and war on functionality thus seem to be given free rein.\n\nThus, if a presumptuous designer is allowed to do what he thinks he's right, you're more likely to get inane, aggravating, functionally impaired designs that embody C-O-N-C-E-I-T rather than C-O-U-R-A-G-E \u2014 to resurrect the self-congratulatory word Apple voiced when they got rid of the headphone jack on the iPhones...\n\nHere's an antidote: https://petrolicious.com/marketplace/1974-alfa-romeo-gtv-2000\n\nSo in my quest to replace the geriatric Mazda, I test drove a Fiat 500 yesterday.

A 32GB capacity would thus have required only 4 chips more, which shouldn't have been that hard to fit, given the larger space available on a 15-inch laptop's printed circuit board compared with the 16GB 13-inch model.\n\nThe memory interface of a energy-hungry desktop Intel i7 CPU has only four 64-bit wide memory channels, but with simple address line decoding logic, it's easy for manufacturers to provide motherboards with eight 64-bit wide DIMM slots.\nThe power-sipping mobile Intel i7 CPUs as used in the MBP have only two 64-bit wide memory channels, but, similarly, it would have been easy to decode the address lines to generate the chip select lines for two additional 8GB 64-bit wide memory banks, and thus enable the option to configure four 8GB memory blocks, for a total of 32GB of RAM.\n\nAre 32GB really necessary on a laptop ? I don't know, but when using Photoshop on a 16GB MBP, I often notice that PS is using gigabytes of scratch space on the MBP's internal SSD e.g. when uprezzing and rotating a slighty tilted 24MP picture. Having more RAM would probably make PS faster and decrease wear and tear on the SSD's flash memory chips.\nCreative professionals editing e.g. 4K video would also probably appreciate the added smoothness in the editing and preview operations enabled by larger, multi-gigabyte RAM buffers, as would e.g. IT professionals running virtual machines on their MBPs.\n\nThe nature, the raison d'\u00eatre of a \"Pro\" computer costing several thousand dollars, IMHO, is to provide functional, convenient, dependable, and preferably cost-effective computing functionality to users, which includes professionals. When superficial aspects like look or thinness starts to be considered by an idiotic designer to be more important than functionality, then, the tail is wagging the dog, and that dimwit designer hasn't really understood what makes a machine \"professional\" in the eyes of the paying customer \u2014 the actual professional or power user.\n\nTo connect the subject a bit to photograpy, a major characteristic of Leica cameras, IMHO, is their perceived tactile quality, which conveys the notion that Leicas \u2014 regardless of their actual performance and usability as cameras \u2014 are precision, high-quality photographic instruments that are carefully crafted, a bit like high-end Swiss mechanical watches.\n\nWalter da Silva's modern reinterpretation of a Leica rangefinder has an exquisite detailing, profiling and patterning of refined materials like titanium and leather, packaged in clean geometric lines and with well-considered usability touches like a cleverly engineered leather finger loop attachment. I think it's quite successful at conveying the Leica qualities I mentioned above, and evinces a really competent designer who's able to grasp the nature, the essence of the product he's working on, and translate it into an actual physical object.\n\nA second-rate designer who hasn't got the intellectual abilities to grasp the essential character of a product, OTOH, would deliver something that looks like what a 12-year old with a CAD program would come up with, merely providing an uninspired wrapping of the mandated dimensional constraints like rangefinder baseline length, flangeback distance, mount dimensions, lens diameter etc.\nI must, however, admit that said camera was apparently judged good enough by a Chinese buyer to pay a large sum for it.\n\nSince Steve Jobs' death, it seems that nobody at Apple is able to remain grounded and think about actual user requirements when considering product design, especially for their \"Pro\" line of computers. Jony Ive's mediocrity and war on functionality thus seem to be given free rein.\n\nThus, if a presumptuous designer is allowed to do what he thinks he's right, you're more likely to get inane, aggravating, functionally impaired designs that embody C-O-N-C-E-I-T rather than C-O-U-R-A-G-E \u2014 to resurrect the self-congratulatory word Apple voiced when they got rid of the headphone jack on the iPhones...\n\nHere's an antidote: https://petrolicious.com/marketplace/1974-alfa-romeo-gtv-2000\n\nSo in my quest to replace the geriatric Mazda, I test drove a Fiat 500 yesterday. Cute as a button! Exterior design reminiscent of the Fiats of old. Sadly, though...a terrible car. The geriatric Mazda drives better and inspires more confidence.\n\n[Two things that amaze me: that Fiat and Dunkin' Donuts are still in business. Fiat builds poor cars and DD sells stale donuts. You'd think they'd be long gone.\n\nGood luck in your quest Ann! --Mike]\n\nI happen to agree fully with your points, Mike.

Canibus accumulated his net worth through his songwriting, performance with the rap supergroup of HRSMN and his many singles and albums he recorded. Born Germaine Williams on December 9, 1974, in New York City, he rose to fame in the mid-1990s. By 1994, Canabis had already formed a duo named T.H.E.M.

Canibus' debut album Can-I-Bus came out in September, 1998 and ended up being certified Gold, despite its abundance of socially concerned material. Since, he has constantly produced solo albums, most of which were released to mixed feelings and reviews, just as his first one did. As for his side projects, they include collaborations with the Hrsm, Sharpshooterz, Cloak N Dagga and The Undergods among others. Over the years, Canibus has been credited for being one of the best lyrical freestyle rappers, only few, like Eminem, being his equals in that area of rapping.

It is owned by a very rich man called Federich Ospal Fros Anties, who coincidentally, has the same initals. Anties, nicknamed Frostie, was born in 1966 in Egypt. His parents were killed in an accident when a football hit them in the head. Because of this, he got the bright idea of playing football, instead of going on some crusade against all footballers. When he was 13 he found out that he was bad at this sport when he killed someone by kicking him instead of the ball. One would think he would have gone on that crusade to kill all footballers then, but no, he still liked the sport. When he was 22, he created FOFA. He is now married to Eucaspi Quispe de La Flor. He has two children, a boy (Pepe Ospal Quispe) and a girl (Pancrasia Ospal Quispe).\n\nedit War of the World Cup\n\nWar of the world cup 2006\n\nPoster for War of the Worlds II - Germany 2006\n\nThe highly anticipated sequel to the 2005 film, \u201cWar of the Worlds\u201d has taken over $6000 at the box office. \u201cWar of the World II \u2013 Germany 2006\u201d has been widely regarded as the film of the year and is tipped to sweep the major prizes at the Academy Awards.

Despite this, they have successfully diversified\u00a0 into forms that can cope with an astonishingly wide array of habitat types through morphological, behavioral and physiological adaptations. Frogs and toads generally display a tight correlation between body shape patterns and habitat use or environmental niche. Thus, convergent evolution in morphotypes should be common across diverse lineages that share similar ecotypes, something that has been rarely tested at the transcontinental level and across multiple species of the same type of animal (Vidal et al, 2015).\n\nThis initiated the study done by Vidal et al. (2015), where they were interested in testing for the existence and strength of convergent evolution in the morphology of frogs at the level of the entire continent of Australia. Australia comprises many diverse habitats, ranging from hot, dry deserts to wet rainforests, and has an array of isolation and aridification history. This combination is great for comparative analyses on a broad scale. These researchers examined morphological, environmental, and physiological data on 84 Australian hylid (tree frogs) in an evolutionary context and categorized them into ecotypes. From this, the researchers focused their study on trying to answer four questions:\n\n 1. Are there body size and shape differences among different clades and ecotypes?\n 2. Do species from the same ecotype show similar morphological patterns, even across different clades and families?\n 3. What is the cause of these body shape similarities?\n 4. Do physiological traits vary among species relative to body shape and environmental niche?\n\nThey began their quest to answer these questions by collecting data on morphological variation, evaporative water loss, and habitat use in the four main ecotypes they categorized\u2014arboreal, ground-dwelling, semi-aquatic and fossorial\u2014 across all species and lineages of Australian hylid frogs. They then compared this data with morphological and environmental patterns found in the radiation of Australian myobatrachids frogs from another study, using phylogenetic comparative methods (Vidal et al., 2015). Further, they quantified the strength of morphological convergence at two levels: 1) between fossorial myobatrachid and hylid frogs and 2) in each ecotype within the hylids. The researchers found evidence to answer each question:\n\n 1. Are there body size and shape differences among different clades and ecotypes? No. Certain body shapes evolved multiple times within certain clades. On the other hand, looking at a finer scale, i.e. species within ecotypes, it was discovered that there was a strong evolutionary relationship: species subtly conform to particular shapes. This was especially evident between fossorial species in the different ecotypes.\n 2. Do species from the same ecotype show similar morphological patterns, even across different clades and families? Yes. Body shape patterns roughly matched each ecotype, and this correlation was strongest in the fossorial species, which displayed non-webbed feet, more pointed snouts and proportionally shorter limbs. This morphological type was also observed in all co-distributed burrowing myobatrichid frog species: body shape patterns among fossorial species from different families were similar (Fig. 1), when compared to closely related species from different ecotypes\n 3. What is the cause of these body shape similarities? It\u2019s hard to determine one specific cause. From Videl, et al, (2015) results, it was suggested that \u201cthere was a tendency for morphological convergence between fossorial tree frogs and myobatrachid back burrowers\u00a0 sharing the same ecotype\u201d. Moreover, it was suggested that ecotype diversification plays an important role in shaping morphological traits in Australian tree frogs.\n 4. Do physiological traits, vary among species relative to body shape and environmental niche? Not exactly. Cutaneous resistance of tree frog species was highly variable. No clear phylogenic, morphological, or environmental correlation was found.

Chytridiomycosis, a disease caused by the zoosporic chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd),\u00a0 is on the rise. One hypothesis is that the origin of Bd was in Australia; however recent evidence places the origin in Africa (Weldon, et al. 2004). With an increase in the chytrid fungus, major die offs have occurred in Australia that has caused the extinction of four species and has led to a dramatic decline of at least ten others (Chytridiomycosis, 2013). How have Australian frogs adapted or have they adapted? Are their similar adaptations across different clades or is adaptation similar among species sharing the same ecotype? Learning about resistance adaptations and how they evolved, can better help the understanding of the dynamics of the chytrid fungus and potentially aid in treating the disease. The discovery of immunological resistance to this pathogenic fungus can provide for an exciting fundamental breakthrough that offers hope and a critical tool for dealing with a global epidemic affecting wild amphibian populations.\n\nAdditional information:\n\nWant to check out convergent evolution and ecotype diversification for yourself?

Despite this, they have successfully diversified\u00a0 into forms that can cope with an astonishingly wide array of habitat types through morphological, behavioral and physiological adaptations. Frogs and toads generally display a tight correlation between body shape patterns and habitat use or environmental niche. Thus, convergent evolution in morphotypes should be common across diverse lineages that share similar ecotypes, something that has been rarely tested at the transcontinental level and across multiple species of the same type of animal (Vidal et al, 2015).\n\nThis initiated the study done by Vidal et al. (2015), where they were interested in testing for the existence and strength of convergent evolution in the morphology of frogs at the level of the entire continent of Australia. Australia comprises many diverse habitats, ranging from hot, dry deserts to wet rainforests, and has an array of isolation and aridification history. This combination is great for comparative analyses on a broad scale. These researchers examined morphological, environmental, and physiological data on 84 Australian hylid (tree frogs) in an evolutionary context and categorized them into ecotypes. From this, the researchers focused their study on trying to answer four questions:\n\n 1. Are there body size and shape differences among different clades and ecotypes?\n 2. Do species from the same ecotype show similar morphological patterns, even across different clades and families?\n 3. What is the cause of these body shape similarities?\n 4. Do physiological traits vary among species relative to body shape and environmental niche?\n\nThey began their quest to answer these questions by collecting data on morphological variation, evaporative water loss, and habitat use in the four main ecotypes they categorized\u2014arboreal, ground-dwelling, semi-aquatic and fossorial\u2014 across all species and lineages of Australian hylid frogs. They then compared this data with morphological and environmental patterns found in the radiation of Australian myobatrachids frogs from another study, using phylogenetic comparative methods (Vidal et al., 2015). Further, they quantified the strength of morphological convergence at two levels: 1) between fossorial myobatrachid and hylid frogs and 2) in each ecotype within the hylids. The researchers found evidence to answer each question:\n\n 1. Are there body size and shape differences among different clades and ecotypes? No. Certain body shapes evolved multiple times within certain clades. On the other hand, looking at a finer scale, i.e. species within ecotypes, it was discovered that there was a strong evolutionary relationship: species subtly conform to particular shapes. This was especially evident between fossorial species in the different ecotypes.\n 2. Do species from the same ecotype show similar morphological patterns, even across different clades and families? Yes. Body shape patterns roughly matched each ecotype, and this correlation was strongest in the fossorial species, which displayed non-webbed feet, more pointed snouts and proportionally shorter limbs. This morphological type was also observed in all co-distributed burrowing myobatrichid frog species: body shape patterns among fossorial species from different families were similar (Fig. 1), when compared to closely related species from different ecotypes\n 3. What is the cause of these body shape similarities? It\u2019s hard to determine one specific cause. From Videl, et al, (2015) results, it was suggested that \u201cthere was a tendency for morphological convergence between fossorial tree frogs and myobatrachid back burrowers\u00a0 sharing the same ecotype\u201d. Moreover, it was suggested that ecotype diversification plays an important role in shaping morphological traits in Australian tree frogs.\n 4. Do physiological traits, vary among species relative to body shape and environmental niche? Not exactly. Cutaneous resistance of tree frog species was highly variable. No clear phylogenic, morphological, or environmental correlation was found. However, a correlation existed between ecotype and resistance to evaporative water loss, with arboreal species displaying the highest resistance to water loss and aquatic and fossorial species displaying the lowest.\nFig 1. Representative drawings summarize mean measurements and body patterns displayed by two species from each ecotype.

Dewey's Progressivism was founded on pragmatism. Today's social democrats resent any tinkering with the solutions that were put forward in Dewey's day. They are as conservative with respect to Social Security, the Federal Reserve Bank and the income tax as early twentieth century conservatives were, only in reverse. As Dewey points out (p. 202) \"The person who holds the doctrine of individualism or collectivism has his program determined for him in advance.\" Today's liberals hold their collectivism tightly, and resent and resist any attempt to reform failure in their many programs, to include urban renewal and planning, education and monetary policy. The solution ought to be a new technology of public management, not a new ideology. As Dewey points out, ideological debates are sterile, and American politicians lack the knowledge or courage to experiment.\n\nSocial Democratic Liberalism Came to Serve Corruption\n\nAmericans' acceptance of the Keynesian ideology, often called social democracy or post-war liberalism, had its roots in Hamiltonian Federalism. Hamilton, a follower of Hume's economic ideas, had advocated federal expansion of credit and concentration of its availability to business interests. This was to be accomplished by federal assumption of the Revolutionary War debt and establishment of a central bank. Hume had argued that if credit is made available to merchants, then the merchants' smart investment decisions would allocate resources into their most productive uses. Thus, the public might become richer by the artifical creation of money, in Hume's view. Hume assumed that it is a good bet for the public to bear investment risk. But there is certainly risk. Hume believed that the risk would pay off, but this is an apriori argument, not an empirical fact. Moreover, this argument rested on particular facts that were true in the 18th century and ceased to be true by the late nineteenth, in particular merchants' personal assumption of risk.\n\nHume wrote at a time when corporations did not exist. Corporations did not take their present form until the late nineteenth century, as late as the 1890s. At the time that Hume wrote, merchants who assumed risk did so on their own account, and if they lost money they personally suffered. Thus, there was considerable motivation for rational, profit-maximizing behavior. When central banking was abolished, business needed alternative means to aggregate capital. Corporate organization did so, and it did so by shifting risk away from entrepreneurs and merchants onto investors. This is a more rational method for allocating risk than is central banking because it can reflect personal preferences for risk. Moreover, it permits reflection of a wide range of public preferences. Some people have considerable utility for money in the present because they prefer to consume. Consumers might prefer not to take risks with money but rather to spend it. In contrast, other people have greater utility for money in the future. Such investors can choose to invest more heavily in corporate ventures than a central bank's broad allocation of public resources to specific interests would permit.\n\nCorporate organization might be viewed as an alternative form of capital aggregation to central banking. It is superior because the allocation of risk is explicit. Those who wish to take risks invest in the corporation, while those who do not wish to take risks do not invest. This contrasts with monetary creation by the central bank, which forces all citizens to participate in risky business decisions whether they choose to or not.\n\nBut the compounding of the corporate form with central banking might exaggerate risk taking and confound the Humean-Hamiltonian model. Merchants who are not personally at risk may not behave rationally. The result is a potential for corrpution. A corporate president who is granted dollops of credit artificially created by a central bank might be motivated to present false earnings reports, pay himself an exaggerated salary and then resign from the firm before it goes bankrupt, much as the officers of Enron and Bear Stearns did. There is no guarantee of rational behavior by corporate organizations staffed by self interested bureaurcrats. Thus, the subsequent adoption of Hamiltonian Federalism under the Keynesian moniker has gradually led to a crap shoot economy unbridled by rationality and propelled by self-seeking, incompetence and greed.\n\nBy 1830 it was evident to most workers that the Central Banking system was not beneficial to them. The Humean and Hamiltonian theory of credit had failed. In particular, banking monopolies led to depreciating currency which in turn led to resentment of the central bank, which President Andrew Jackson abolished in 1832 and 1833. Between 1833 and 1913 there was no central bank, and this was the period of greatest economic creativity in American history. It was also a period of slow business profit, which resulted in repeated complaints about \"depressions\". Every decade saw increasing real wages and every decade saw a \"depression\". By the end of the 19th century the average American was much better off, the American economy was the center of world innovation, immigrants flocked here by the millions, but business interests incessantly complained about \"depression\". Moreover, governmental subsidies to railroads engendered corruption and overexpansion. Post-Civil War monetary inflation facilitated speculation and created income inequality. This occurred at the same time that Jackson's spoils system led to political corruption in the cities.\n\nMany observers felt that rationalization of the state through civil service would improve the economy. The traditional American belief that morality led to economic success was being tested by corruption associated with the railroads and political clubs in the cities. In 1883 Congress passed the Pendleton Act, which created a rudimentary civil service for the federal government. In turn, advocates of moral and limited government, to include the Mugwumps, argued for increased use of civil service, honesty in government,", "base_doc": " or the ability to secure and estimate the facts involved...But the very size, heterogeneity and nobility of urban populations, the vast capital required, the technical characterization of the engineering problems involved soon tire the attention of the average voter.\"\n\nAnd (p. 131-46)\n\n\"The increase in the number, variety and cheapness of amusements represents a powerful diversion of political concern.

Thus, the subsequent adoption of Hamiltonian Federalism under the Keynesian moniker has gradually led to a crap shoot economy unbridled by rationality and propelled by self-seeking, incompetence and greed.\n\nBy 1830 it was evident to most workers that the Central Banking system was not beneficial to them. The Humean and Hamiltonian theory of credit had failed. In particular, banking monopolies led to depreciating currency which in turn led to resentment of the central bank, which President Andrew Jackson abolished in 1832 and 1833. Between 1833 and 1913 there was no central bank, and this was the period of greatest economic creativity in American history. It was also a period of slow business profit, which resulted in repeated complaints about \"depressions\". Every decade saw increasing real wages and every decade saw a \"depression\". By the end of the 19th century the average American was much better off, the American economy was the center of world innovation, immigrants flocked here by the millions, but business interests incessantly complained about \"depression\". Moreover, governmental subsidies to railroads engendered corruption and overexpansion. Post-Civil War monetary inflation facilitated speculation and created income inequality. This occurred at the same time that Jackson's spoils system led to political corruption in the cities.\n\nMany observers felt that rationalization of the state through civil service would improve the economy. The traditional American belief that morality led to economic success was being tested by corruption associated with the railroads and political clubs in the cities. In 1883 Congress passed the Pendleton Act, which created a rudimentary civil service for the federal government. In turn, advocates of moral and limited government, to include the Mugwumps, argued for increased use of civil service, honesty in government, and the gold standard and reduced tariffs.

Or will local food networks and Occupy groups positively transform society from the ground up?\nI don\u2019t claim to have a functioning crystal ball. But tracing current trends, and looking to historic analogies, may help us understand our prospects better, and help us make the most of them.\nThe 21st century landscape of conflict\nLooking forward, four principal drivers of conflict are easily apparent. More may be lurking along the way.\nFirst is the increasing prospect of conflict between rich and poor\u2014i.e., between those who benefitted during history\u2019s biggest growth bash on one hand, and on the other hand those who provided the labor, sat on the sidelines, or were pushed aside in resource grabs.\nEconomic growth produces inequality as a byproduct. Not only do industrialists appropriate the surplus value of the labor of their workers, as Marx pointed out, but bankers accumulate wealth from the interest paid by borrowers. We see inequality being generated by economic growth in real time in China, where roughly six hundred million people have been lifted from poverty in the last thirty years as a result of nine percent annual economic growth\u2014but where economic inequality now surpasses levels in U.S. and even Eastern Europe.\nJust as economic growth produces winners and losers domestically, the level of wealth inequality between nations grows as the global economy expands. Today the disparity between average incomes in the world\u2019s richest and poorest nations is higher than ever.\nThe primary forces working against inequality as economies grow consist of government spending on social programs of all sorts, and on international aid projects.\nAs economic growth stops, those who have benefitted the most have both the incentive to maintain their relative advantage and, in many cases, the means to do so. Which means that in a contracting economy, those who have the least tend to lose the most. There are exceptions, of course. Billionaires can in theory go broke in a matter of hours or even seconds as a result of a market crash. But in the era of \u201ctoo-big-to-fail\u201d banks and corporations, government provides a safety net for the rich as well as the poor.\nHigh and increasing inequality is usually bearable during boom times, as people at the bottom of the wealth pyramid are encouraged by the prospect of its overall expansion. Once growth ceases and slips into reverse, inequality becomes socially unsustainable. Declining expectations lead to unrest, while absolute misery (in the sense of not having enough to eat) often results in revolution.\nWe\u2019ve seen plenty of examples of these trends in the past two years in Greece, Ireland, Spain, the U.S., and the Middle East.\nIn many countries, including the U.S., government efforts to forestall or head off uprisings appear to be taking the forms of criminalization of dissent, the militarization of police, and a massive expansion of surveillance using an array of new electronic spy technologies. At the same time, intelligence agencies are now able to employ up-to-date sociological and psychological research to infiltrate, co-opt, misdirect, and manipulate popular movements aimed at achieving economic redistribution.\nHowever, these military, police, public relations, and intelligence efforts require massive funding as well as functioning grid, fuel, and transport infrastructures. Further, their effectiveness is limited if and when the nation\u2019s level of economic pain becomes too intense, widespread, or prolonged.\nA second source of conflict consists of increasing competition over access to depleting resources, including oil, water, and minerals. Among the wealthiest nations, oil is likely to be the object of the most intensive struggle, since oil is essential for nearly all transport and trade. The race for oil began in the early 20th century and has shaped the politics and geopolitics of the Middle East and Central Asia; now that race is expanding to include the Arctic and deep oceans, such as the South China Sea.\nResource conflicts occur not just between nations, but also within societies: witness the ongoing insurgencies in the Niger Delta, where oil revenue fuels rampant political corruption while drilling leads to environmental ravages felt primarily by the Ogoni ethnic group; see also the political infighting in fracking country here in the U.S., where ecological impacts put ever-greater strains on the social fabric. Neighbors who benefit from lease payments no longer speak to neighbors who have to put up with polluted water, a blighted landscape, and the noise of thousands of trucks carrying equipment, water, and chemicals. Eventually, however, boomtowns turn to ghost towns, and nearly everyone loses.\nThird, climate change and other forms of ecological degradation are likely to lead to conflict over access to places of refuge from natural disasters. The responsible agencies\u2014including the United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security\u2014point out that there are already 12 million environmental refugees worldwide, and that this number is destined to soar as extreme weather events increase in frequency and severity. Typically, when bad weather strikes, people leave their homes only as a last resort; in the worst instances they have no other option. As America learned during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, when hundreds of thousand were displaced from farms in the prairies, rapid shifts in population due to forced migration can create economic and social stresses, including competition for scarce jobs, land, and resources, leading to discrimination and sometimes violence.\nWhere do refugees go when the world is already full? Growing economies are usually able to absorb immigrants and governments may even encourage immigration in order to keep wages down. But when economic growth ceases, immigrants are often seen as taking jobs away from native-born workers.\nIn this instance as well, conflict will appear both within and between countries. Low-lying island nations may disappear completely, and cross-border weather-driven migrations will increase dramatically. Inhabitants of coastal communities will move further inland. Farmers in drought-plagued areas will pick up stakes. But can all of these people be absorbed into shantytowns in the world\u2019s sprawling megacities? Or will at least some of these cities themselves see an exodus of population due to an inability to maintain basic life-support services?\nLastly, climate change, water scarcity, high oil prices, vanishing credit, and the leveling off of per-hectare productivity and the amount of arable land are all combining to create the conditions for a historic food crisis, which will impact the poor first and most forcibly. High food prices breed social instability\u2014whether in 18th century France or 21st century Egypt. As today\u2019s high prices rise further, social instability could spread, leading to demonstrations, riots, insurgencies, and revolutions.\nIn summary, conflict in the decades ahead will likely center on the four factors of money, energy, land, and food. These sources of conflict will overlap in various ways. While economic inequality will not itself be at the root of all this conflict (one could argue that population growth is a deeper if often unacknowledged cause of strife), inequality does seem destined to play a role in most conflict, whether the immediate trigger is extreme weather, high food prices, or energy shortages.\nThis is not to say that no other sources of conflict beyond money, energy, land, and food will exist. Undoubtedly religion will provide the ostensible banner for contention in many instances. However, as so often in history, this is likely to be a secondary rather than a primary driver of discord.\nWar and peace in a shrinking economy\nWill increasing conflict lead to expanding violence?\nNot if neuropsychologist Stephen Pinker is right. In his expansive and widely praised book The Better Angels of Our Nature: the Decline of Violence in History and Its Causes, Pinker claims that, in general, violence has waned during the past few decades. He argues that this tendency has ancient roots in our shift from peripatetic hunting and gathering to settled farming; moreover, during the past couple of centuries the trend has greatly intensified. With the emergence of Enlightenment philosophy and its respect for the individual came what Pinker calls the Humanitarian Revolution. Much more recently, after World War II, violence was suppressed first by the \u201cmutually assured destruction\u201d policies of the two opposed nuclear-armed sides in the Cold War, and then by American global hegemony. Pinker calls this the Long Peace. Wars have become less frequent and less violent, and most societies have seen what might be called a decline of tolerance for intolerance\u2014whether manifested in schoolyard fights, bullying, or picking on gays and minorities.\nBut there is a problem with Pinker\u2019s implied conclusion that global violence will continue to decline. The Long Peace we have known since World War II may well turn out to be shorter than hoped as world economic growth stalls and as American hegemony falters\u2014in John Michael Greer\u2019s words, as \u201cthe costs of maintaining a global imperial presence soar and the profits of the imperial wealth pump slump.\u201d Books and articles predicting the end of the American empire are legion; while some merely point to the rise of China as a global rival, others describe the looming failure of the essential basis of the U.S. imperial system\u2014the global system of oil production and trade (with its petro-dollar recycling program) centered in the Middle East.

It belonged to my husband's grandfather and is probably more than 75 years old. The base is heavy metal, the overall height is 21 inches, and the glass shade is hand-painted on the inside with a scene of a winding road leading to a country cottage.\n\nCould you please provide information on the manufacturer, age, and value of our lamp?\n\nA. You have a circa 1920 reverse painted lamp made by the Jefferson Lamp Co. of Chicago. The value of your lamp would probably be $2,500 to $3,000.\n\nQ.This mark is on the bottom of a gravy dish that once was my mother's. The dish is pink and has an attached plate. It is in very good condition, no chips or cracks. What can you tell me about the mark, age, and value of my gravy dish?\n\nA. Taylor, Smith, and Taylor made your gravy dish. They made semi-vitreous china in Chester, W.V. from 1901-1981. Lu-Ray Pastels was a line of semi-vitreous china that was introduced in 1938 by Taylor, Smith, and Taylor. The line was available in six pastel solid colors and several different shapes. Your gravy dish is an example of their Sharon pink and was part of a complete line of dinnerware.\n\nYour gravy dish with attached plate was made in the 1940s and is worth between $25 and $35.\n\nQ.My husband and I bought an early 20th-century four-square home we plan to restore. In the garage we found an old tin sign with the picture of an American Indian. It is an advertisement for \"None Such Mince Meat,\" measures 28 by 20 inches, and is very good condition. My husband said it is \"junque\" and we should toss it out. I think it is an antique and we should gather more information before we make our final decision.\n\nA. Do not mince words with your husband. Your advertising sign is an antique and worth a lot of dough. It was made around 1890, older than the 75 years of age requirement to qualify as an antique. According to the manufacturer, Merrell-Soule Co. of Syracuse, N.Y., None Such Mince Meat was used to prepare \"Pies like Mother Used to Bake.\" The image of the American Indian is that of a chief of the New York State Onondaga tribe. Your tin sign would probably be worth $6,500 to $7,500.\n\nQ. I have a large, framed painting that was purchased around 1947. It appears to be on a heavy poster board rather than paper and it is signed Robert Wood. The painting is a scene of mountains and trees in the background and rocks and a stream in the foreground.\n\nWhat can you tell me about my painting?\n\nA. Robert Wood, 1889-1979, was born in England. He was a talented and prolific artist who spent most of his life in the United States. Although many of his paintings were reproduced with his authorization on cardboard, there have been many counterfeits, some made in Japan.\n\nSimilar reproductions have sold anywhere from several hundred dollars to $1,000.\n<|endoftext|>Particularly dense erosion occurred in warmer melting periods during the ice ages, when the climate of the tundra prevailed and the soil was not protected by a strong vegetation.<|endoftext|>March 9, 2011\n\nSouth Africa's new bogeymen\n\nAre England bowlers. While on paper, the South Africans look better, in the pivotal moments it is England who have prevailed\n\nEasy like Sunday morning, eh? Not likely Lionel, my dear old thing. Not if you were rubbing the sleep from your eyes in deepest Sussex, it wasn't. Not if you gave a hoot about what was happening in Chennai. And certainly not if your idea of easy is a bump-free ride with Handy Andy and his Mighty Erratics.\n\nSome wildly extravagant claims were made on behalf of the previous Sunday's improbable 676-run Anglo-Indian all-squarer (how improbable can readily be gleaned, not so much from the fact that, of the 47 previous tied ODIs, just one had yielded more runs - 680 by New Zealand and England in Napier three years ago - but that the next highest aggregate had been 540). Inasmuch as England had two wickets intact as the penultimate ball was propelled, leaving all three results possible, it was tempting, admittedly, to rush headlong to such lavish conclusions, but this should have been resisted.\n\nSporting encounters require at least a vestige of balance to secure their own folder on one's inner hard drive, and cricket purists are arguably the hardest to please. Not only do we want both protagonists to have a chance of victory, we also want variety, which means batsmen and bowlers - and, ideally, seamers and spinners - must be on a reasonably level footing. And notwithstanding one magnificent late spell by Tim Bresnan and a similarly swift burst of equal magnitude by Zaheer Khan, which together accounted for roughly five of the 100 overs, that Bangalore bash was a clear knockout for the flat-track bullies, as is the way with far too many ODIs. Fortunately, courtesy of an unexpectedly chirpy Chennai strip, we witnessed something rather beautiful, something bearing a welcome resemblance to a proper game of cricket.\n\nAnd about time too. Since the last World Cup, the spirit of adventure, stirred by Twenty20 and sweetened by the advent of the batting Powerplay, has seen the pendulum swing to an intolerable degree. Consider the following exhibits. From January 1971 until shortly before the 2006 Champions Trophy, the average ODI total was 209; over the past two years that mean has surged to just south of 253. Of the 51 scores of 350 or more in the 3122 ODIs played up to midnight on Monday, more than 60%, 33, had been slammed and slugged in 626 games since February 1, 2007, along with more than half, eight, of the 15 highest successful all-time chases. And while South Africa boast the highest overall run-rate with 4.93 per over, and 4.86 up to the start of the 2009 Champions Trophy, the first major event to deploy the batting Powerplay, all eight senior nations have exceeded 4.96 since then, seven of them 5.13 or better. A question, assuredly, of extreme imbalance.\n\nThat's why Chennai was such a vital and timely tonic for this tournament, not to say the flagging viability of the 50-over flog. In India, the batsmen had been gorging - unstoppably, nauseatingly; how many times", "base_doc": "I don't know\n10. What are you really good at?\u00a0I'm good at flying my helicopter.\n11.

It belonged to my husband's grandfather and is probably more than 75 years old. The base is heavy metal, the overall height is 21 inches, and the glass shade is hand-painted on the inside with a scene of a winding road leading to a country cottage.\n\nCould you please provide information on the manufacturer, age, and value of our lamp?\n\nA. You have a circa 1920 reverse painted lamp made by the Jefferson Lamp Co. of Chicago. The value of your lamp would probably be $2,500 to $3,000.\n\nQ.This mark is on the bottom of a gravy dish that once was my mother's. The dish is pink and has an attached plate. It is in very good condition, no chips or cracks. What can you tell me about the mark, age, and value of my gravy dish?\n\nA. Taylor, Smith, and Taylor made your gravy dish. They made semi-vitreous china in Chester, W.V. from 1901-1981. Lu-Ray Pastels was a line of semi-vitreous china that was introduced in 1938 by Taylor, Smith, and Taylor. The line was available in six pastel solid colors and several different shapes. Your gravy dish is an example of their Sharon pink and was part of a complete line of dinnerware.\n\nYour gravy dish with attached plate was made in the 1940s and is worth between $25 and $35.\n\nQ.My husband and I bought an early 20th-century four-square home we plan to restore. In the garage we found an old tin sign with the picture of an American Indian. It is an advertisement for \"None Such Mince Meat,\" measures 28 by 20 inches, and is very good condition. My husband said it is \"junque\" and we should toss it out. I think it is an antique and we should gather more information before we make our final decision.\n\nA. Do not mince words with your husband. Your advertising sign is an antique and worth a lot of dough. It was made around 1890, older than the 75 years of age requirement to qualify as an antique. According to the manufacturer, Merrell-Soule Co. of Syracuse, N.Y., None Such Mince Meat was used to prepare \"Pies like Mother Used to Bake.\" The image of the American Indian is that of a chief of the New York State Onondaga tribe. Your tin sign would probably be worth $6,500 to $7,500.\n\nQ. I have a large, framed painting that was purchased around 1947. It appears to be on a heavy poster board rather than paper and it is signed Robert Wood. The painting is a scene of mountains and trees in the background and rocks and a stream in the foreground.\n\nWhat can you tell me about my painting?\n\nA. Robert Wood, 1889-1979, was born in England. He was a talented and prolific artist who spent most of his life in the United States. Although many of his paintings were reproduced with his authorization on cardboard, there have been many counterfeits, some made in Japan.\n\nSimilar reproductions have sold anywhere from several hundred dollars to $1,000.\n<|endoftext|>March 9, 2011\n\nSouth Africa's new bogeymen\n\nAre England bowlers. While on paper, the South Africans look better, in the pivotal moments it is England who have prevailed\n\nEasy like Sunday morning, eh? Not likely Lionel, my dear old thing. Not if you were rubbing the sleep from your eyes in deepest Sussex, it wasn't. Not if you gave a hoot about what was happening in Chennai. And certainly not if your idea of easy is a bump-free ride with Handy Andy and his Mighty Erratics.\n\nSome wildly extravagant claims were made on behalf of the previous Sunday's improbable 676-run Anglo-Indian all-squarer (how improbable can readily be gleaned, not so much from the fact that, of the 47 previous tied ODIs, just one had yielded more runs - 680 by New Zealand and England in Napier three years ago - but that the next highest aggregate had been 540). Inasmuch as England had two wickets intact as the penultimate ball was propelled, leaving all three results possible, it was tempting, admittedly, to rush headlong to such lavish conclusions, but this should have been resisted.\n\nSporting encounters require at least a vestige of balance to secure their own folder on one's inner hard drive, and cricket purists are arguably the hardest to please. Not only do we want both protagonists to have a chance of victory, we also want variety, which means batsmen and bowlers - and, ideally, seamers and spinners - must be on a reasonably level footing. And notwithstanding one magnificent late spell by Tim Bresnan and a similarly swift burst of equal magnitude by Zaheer Khan, which together accounted for roughly five of the 100 overs, that Bangalore bash was a clear knockout for the flat-track bullies, as is the way with far too many ODIs. Fortunately, courtesy of an unexpectedly chirpy Chennai strip, we witnessed something rather beautiful, something bearing a welcome resemblance to a proper game of cricket.\n\nAnd about time too. Since the last World Cup, the spirit of adventure, stirred by Twenty20 and sweetened by the advent of the batting Powerplay, has seen the pendulum swing to an intolerable degree. Consider the following exhibits. From January 1971 until shortly before the 2006 Champions Trophy, the average ODI total was 209; over the past two years that mean has surged to just south of 253. Of the 51 scores of 350 or more in the 3122 ODIs played up to midnight on Monday, more than 60%, 33, had been slammed and slugged in 626 games since February 1, 2007, along with more than half, eight, of the 15 highest successful all-time chases. And while South Africa boast the highest overall run-rate with 4.93 per over, and 4.86 up to the start of the 2009 Champions Trophy, the first major event to deploy the batting Powerplay, all eight senior nations have exceeded 4.96 since then, seven of them 5.13 or better. A question, assuredly, of extreme imbalance.\n\nThat's why Chennai was such a vital and timely tonic for this tournament, not to say the flagging viability of the 50-over flog. In India, the batsmen had been gorging - unstoppably, nauseatingly; how many times in one day do you need to see fielders gazing forlornly into the distance?

She has a supportive family, but sadly, her adolescence is marked by two tragic deaths. The closer she gets to adulthood, the less able she is to deal with the world. Janet is so shy that she keeps almost totally to herself when she goes college - refusing any offer to go out or even share tea with people. What she does have, though, is her writing. From a very young age she loves to write and she knows she's good at it. Throughout the movie, even during some periods of severe stress, words keep her going. Janet spends years of her twenties in mental institutions (and I'm continuously amazed by how awful those places were in the 40s and 50s) and her writing literally saves her.\n\nThe movie could be depressing - but it never really is. I knew that Janet would survive her troubles - not only because I knew she had to eventually become a famous author - but also because even though she's awkward and hesitant - she's not weak. Kerry Fox plays Janet beautifully as a sweet, shy girl who couldn't say 'boo' to a goose but who also always knows she's a smart person and a damn good writer.\n\nJane Campion crafted the film wonderfully. There's very little exposition and none of that annoying \"and then this happened and then that happened\" that most biopics unconsciously fall into. As I watched I felt like Janet because I didn't know what was going to happen next in her life. Campion also puts in a great sense of physicality - she includes the bodily functions and dirtiness and unkempt-ness of the world.\n\nUltimately, the movie is almost triumphant because Janet Frame creates the life she wants for herself, in spite of all the ways the world claims she's deficient. I personally found it inspiring because while I'm not as shy as Janet was - for most of my childhood I came close. There are several experiences that Janet has that are eerily similar to things that have happened to me. But I think that's because a lot of her experiences probably happen to a lot of women. In that way, this is a film for every woman who doesn't fit in - which is probably how 95% of us feel.\n\nSep. 26th, 2009\n\nLynn Hanson artist\n\nBright Star (2009)\n\nWhen I was in college I had not one, but two, English professors who were in love with Keats. And they quickly inspired me to fall under his spell, too. His poetry is fantastic (my favorite poem is probably \"Ode to a Nightingale\") and his letters are even better. He's one of the few really famous authors who seems like a genuinely great guy. Funny, brilliant, and kind - you just wish you could hang out with him - but in a way you can by reading his letters which are so wonderful. I often think if I had a religion it might be some combination of William Blake's grandiose and Keats' quieter philosophy. Wordsworth was a bit of a prick. Shelley was a bit of a prick. But Keats actually lived his beliefs.\n\nLast night I went to see Bright Star, Jane Campion's telling of the love story between John Keats and Fanny Brawne. I was a little worried because I have an idea in my head of what Keats was like and I thought for sure the film would disappoint. Well, it was fantastic. Ben Whishaw, who plays Keats, of course played him differently than I imagined him, but still portrayed a man who is funny and sweet and brilliant even though he's surrounded by death. And Abbie Cornish who played Fanny Brawne was just as good, if not better. For me, Fanny Brawne was always kind of a shadowy figure - I haven't read her letters and a lot of scholars over the years portrayed her as a woman who never loved Keats as much as he loved her (when in reality - who could know that?) But in this film, Fanny is every bit as smart as the writers she meets (often smarter), has her own point of view on the world, and loves Keats from the moment she meets him.\n\nThe genius of this movie is that it's told almost entirely from Fanny's perspective. We see her world. Her home with her mother and younger sister and brother. Her passion for designing clothes. Her determination in loving a man who has absolutely no money and very little prospects. Her efforts to be taken seriously by his friends. And her grief as Keats becomes sick and dies of tuberculosis. There are so, so few movies or tv shows these days that have a women as protagonists - it's wonderful to see this story told from a point of view I hadn't considered.\n\nAnd it feels real. So many period films seem so removed - like a doll house version of reality - it's refreshing to watch a movie where stepping into a different time period is like traveling to a foreign country - the people are still recognizable as people - they just live a little differently.\n\nBright Star is, like the real-life love story, beautiful and heartbreaking. I didn't cry only because I don't seem to be able to cry at movies anymore - but I could hear quite a few people sniffling around me. The movie, like the actual love story, ends tragically but not hopelessly. I'm glad that Jane Campion made this film.\n\nPhoto I took of Keats' house in Hampstead on my wonderful UK trip earlier this year.\n\nAug. 24th, 2009\n\n\n(no subject)\n\nMy Mom's in town so today we went on the Warner Bros. studio tour. I've never been on any studio tour, even though I've lived in LA for three years - so it was really fun to go. It's kind of expensive ($45) and most of the time they don't let you take pictures - but it's thorough. It's 2 hours long and you ride a tram all over the lot, stopping at several sound stages, sets, and the studio museum. Most of it is pointing out where the recent crap has been made (Two and a Half Men, The Last Samurai and other god awfulness), but some of it was pretty neat. I never knew before that the Gilmore Girls' Stars Hollow was also River City in The Music Man! That was probably the coolest moment for me - standing where they sang \"Trouble\". They also pointed out the cafe where Rick and Ilsa spent their time in Paris and the entire floor of a building that Bette Davis demanded for her \"dressing room\".\n\nI sort of wish there could be an Old Hollywood tour and a new Hollywood tour and you could chose between them, because the old Hollywood lore kind of got short shrift.\n\nAug. 23rd, 2009\n\n\nThe Blue Castle - L.M. Montgomery\n\nWhen I was 11 and 12 I became hugely obsessed with L.M. Montgomery and all of her books. It started with the Anne of Green Gables stories, of course, and soon moved on to other things. Luckily around this time Montgomery's complete catalog of novels and short stories was being republished. I made my way through all of her books, every one, except for Magic for Marigold. I even read the first two volumes of Montgomery's journals, which had a big impact on me. For a woman who wrote such charming stories, she had a very depressing life. There is one point in her journals, after Anne of Green Gables has been published (her first novel) and it's become a", "base_doc": ", sick, and immature - but usually it's based on a very real premise of disappointment. Jeremy is perpetually discovering that the dream world in his head doesn't quite match reality, while Mark (the more tragic and believable character) compromises so much of himself and what he wants and then he can't even make the compromises work. Mark works for JLB Credit as a boring office drone, pines after women he can't have, and gets stuck with women he doesn't love.\n\nThe second best thing about the series is how the best episodes are structured so beautifully that slightly absurd things build into REALLY absurd things until they boil over hilariously. It's hard to pick just one scene from Peep Show to show how funny it is, because every episode is like one long joke and the last few minutes are the punchline. But here's a good clip where Jeremy wants to have a magic mushroom party in the flat but Mark has the flu:\n\nIn the first few seasons the plots are mostly just about two bumbling men in their late 20s as they try to land girls, gigs, or promotions - but as the events pile up and Mark and Jeremy slowly reach their mid-30s (they're about to film the 7th season this year) with failed marriages, relationships, and careers behind them things begin to take on urgency. Will they ever be happy?\n\nAlthough Mark and Jeremy often do rather despicable things - they are more or less decent deep down and you can't help really liking them and wishing that these two idiots would find happiness somehow. Peep Show may be deeply odd and sometimes disturbing - but mostly it's a skewed take on what life is like for the losers (i.e. most of us).\n\nJan. 9th, 2010\n\n\nAn Angel at My Table (1990)\n\nJane Campion directed this film, originally intended as a tv movie for New Zealand television, about author Janet Frame.\n\nJanet, born in 1924 in rural New Zealand, grows up in poverty, and suffers from severe shyness. She has a supportive family, but sadly, her adolescence is marked by two tragic deaths. The closer she gets to adulthood, the less able she is to deal with the world. Janet is so shy that she keeps almost totally to herself when she goes college - refusing any offer to go out or even share tea with people. What she does have, though, is her writing. From a very young age she loves to write and she knows she's good at it. Throughout the movie, even during some periods of severe stress, words keep her going. Janet spends years of her twenties in mental institutions (and I'm continuously amazed by how awful those places were in the 40s and 50s) and her writing literally saves her.\n\nThe movie could be depressing - but it never really is.

Furthermore, as most of their writing is done on a keyboard (rather than on paper), they become used to online chatting and shortcuts. They don't learn spelling and grammar quite as efficiently, and their penmanship suffers, argues the writer in this\u00a0Edudemic\u00a0article.\n\nFinal\u00a0Thoughts on BYOD\n\nOverall, my opinion is that having personal technology in the classroom and the workplace presents both benefits and drawbacks. It's not a black-and-white issue, but a gray area. There are many positives in that it can enhance productivity and efficiency, which is great for both settings. However, schools that allow it run the risk of pandering to \u201cslacker\u201d students, and companies that allow it run the risk of data security breaches and other potentially damaging outcomes.\n\nWe want your feedback!

It helps you to understand yourself better and\u00a0create\u00a0balance in your life.\n\nSelf development is same as trying to clean a messy room after a month!\u00a0To do so, you must start small and\u00a0progress further, but how?\n\nWhen you're new to something, you're told you \"Observe and Report!\". Same works for self development. You're supposed to reflect and improve what you find messed up about/within yourself. If you can't find the\u00a0problem, you can't come up with a solution.\n\nThere's a hadith that states,\nAn hour of reflection is better than an entire year's worship\n\nBefore you go to sleep, think of all the things that you did that day, like replaying a movie of the entire day in your mind. What wrongs did you do and\u00a0what rights did you do? Were you rude to someone or let out your anger on someone? Did you miss prayers? Were you selfish? Did you insult someone? Did you get into a fight? Perhaps someone got hurt because of you? You get the point.\n\nPick one and decide not to do it for one day. You could start with, I'll not be angry with anyone for the entire day. Go through it for one day and\u00a0then increase the number of days to\u00a0three and\u00a0so on. Once you go through it for a month, move to the next bad habit.\n\nIt'll take time but it'll be worth it. One year and\u00a0you'll be a completely different person; a person with a balanced and sound mind.

The readings are generally discussed within commentaries themselves and even within historical discussions regarding the collection and transmission of the Qur\u0101n. Utilizing a 25-page research paper titled\u00a0Rawish Shin\u0101si Ruyikard \u2018All\u0101meh \u1e6cab\u0101\u1e6dab\u0101\u2019\u012b Dar Ikhtil\u0101f Qir\u0101\u2019\u0101t\u00a0by Mu\u1e25amad Kh\u0101mehgar of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, we will look at how \u2018All\u0101mah \u1e6cab\u0101\u1e6dab\u0101\u2019\u012b treats these different readings in his seminal work\u00a0Tafs\u012br al-M\u012bz\u0101n.\n \u2018All\u0101mah discusses or points out differences in readings in around 160 places. These remarks include the following:\n Differences in vowels and diacritics on words:\u00a072 times Differences in the type of letters or their quantity:\u00a042 times Differences in the formation of a word, or in its root-word, or in it being singular or plural, or in it being in passive or active voice, or which paradigm from\u00a0thul\u0101th\u012b maz\u012bd\u00a0the word is from:\u00a036 times Differences in one or more words being extra:\u00a04 times Differences in a word present in a place of another word:\u00a06 times Differences in a word missing:\u00a00 times Differences in words being moved around:\u00a00 times Differences in a sentence being added or removed:\u00a00 times In the first 3 cases, there is no discrepency between the text of the codex and its recitation. However, in the fourth case when there is an extra word in one of the recitations, \u2018All\u0101mah either rejects it \u2013 like in the case of (8:1)\u00a0\u064a\u064e\u0633\u0652\u0623\u064e\u0644\u064f\u0648\u0646\u064e\u0643\u064e \u0639\u064e\u0646\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064e\u0646\u0641\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0650\u00a0which has also been recited as\u00a0\u064a\u064e\u0633\u0652\u0623\u064e\u0644\u064f\u0648\u0646\u064e\u0643\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064e\u0646\u0641\u064e\u0627\u0644, or he considers it to be an exegesis done in the middle of the verse like in the case of:\n (20:15)\u00a0\u0625\u0650\u0646\u064e\u0651 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u064e\u0651\u0627\u0639\u064e\u0629\u064e \u0622\u062a\u0650\u064a\u064e\u0629\u064c \u0623\u064e\u0643\u064e\u0627\u062f\u064f \u0623\u064f\u062e\u0652\u0641\u0650\u064a\u0647\u064e\u0627 \u0644\u0650\u062a\u064f\u062c\u0652\u0632\u064e\u0649\u0670 \u0643\u064f\u0644\u064f\u0651 \u0646\u064e\u0641\u0652\u0633\u064d \u0628\u0650\u0645\u064e\u0627 \u062a\u064e\u0633\u0652\u0639\u064e\u0649\u0670\u00a0It has been reported that Ibn \u2018Abb\u0101s and Im\u0101m al-\u1e62\u0101diq (a) recited the verse as follows:\u00a0\u0623\u064e\u0643\u064e\u0627\u062f\u064f \u0623\u064f\u062e\u0652\u0641\u0650\u064a\u0647\u064e\u0627 \u0639\u0646 \u0646\u0641\u0633\u064a. \u2018All\u0101mah considers this addition to be a commentary.\n In the fifth case where a word is present in place of another word, \u2018All\u0101mah considers five of those instances to be commentaries.

Answers\u00a0will help complete the assignment in no time during class; however, this prevents students from thinking out problems on their own like they should.\n\nThey present obstacles in early childhood education.\n\nSome say technology in elementary classrooms is also posing a threat to learning: as students become accustomed to online learning and interactions, they lose out on social interactions and how to interact effectively with others. Furthermore, as most of their writing is done on a keyboard (rather than on paper), they become used to online chatting and shortcuts. They don't learn spelling and grammar quite as efficiently, and their penmanship suffers, argues the writer in this\u00a0Edudemic\u00a0article.\n\nFinal\u00a0Thoughts on BYOD\n\nOverall, my opinion is that having personal technology in the classroom and the workplace presents both benefits and drawbacks. It's not a black-and-white issue, but a gray area. There are many positives in that it can enhance productivity and efficiency, which is great for both settings. However, schools that allow it run the risk of pandering to \u201cslacker\u201d students, and companies that allow it run the risk of data security breaches and other potentially damaging outcomes.\n\nWe want your feedback! Do you think BYOD is a problem or a positive?\n\n 1. hot topics\n\nAbout The Author\n\nSarah Fields\n<|endoftext|>Jump to content\n \u2022 entries\n \u2022 comments\n \u2022 views\n\nReflect & Improve!\n\nShian e Ali\n\n\n\n\nSelf development is an important practice. It helps you to understand yourself better and\u00a0create\u00a0balance in your life.\n\nSelf development is same as trying to clean a messy room after a month!\u00a0To do so, you must start small and\u00a0progress further, but how?\n\nWhen you're new to something, you're told you \"Observe and Report!\". Same works for self development. You're supposed to reflect and improve what you find messed up about/within yourself. If you can't find the\u00a0problem, you can't come up with a solution.\n\nThere's a hadith that states,\nAn hour of reflection is better than an entire year's worship\n\nBefore you go to sleep, think of all the things that you did that day, like replaying a movie of the entire day in your mind. What wrongs did you do and\u00a0what rights did you do? Were you rude to someone or let out your anger on someone? Did you miss prayers? Were you selfish? Did you insult someone? Did you get into a fight? Perhaps someone got hurt because of you? You get the point.\n\nPick one and decide not to do it for one day. You could start with, I'll not be angry with anyone for the entire day. Go through it for one day and\u00a0then increase the number of days to\u00a0three and\u00a0so on. Once you go through it for a month, move to the next bad habit.\n\nIt'll take time but it'll be worth it. One year and\u00a0you'll be a completely different person; a person with a balanced and sound mind.

The readings are generally discussed within commentaries themselves and even within historical discussions regarding the collection and transmission of the Qur\u0101n. Utilizing a 25-page research paper titled\u00a0Rawish Shin\u0101si Ruyikard \u2018All\u0101meh \u1e6cab\u0101\u1e6dab\u0101\u2019\u012b Dar Ikhtil\u0101f Qir\u0101\u2019\u0101t\u00a0by Mu\u1e25amad Kh\u0101mehgar of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, we will look at how \u2018All\u0101mah \u1e6cab\u0101\u1e6dab\u0101\u2019\u012b treats these different readings in his seminal work\u00a0Tafs\u012br al-M\u012bz\u0101n.\n \u2018All\u0101mah discusses or points out differences in readings in around 160 places. These remarks include the following:\n Differences in vowels and diacritics on words:\u00a072 times Differences in the type of letters or their quantity:\u00a042 times Differences in the formation of a word, or in its root-word, or in it being singular or plural, or in it being in passive or active voice, or which paradigm from\u00a0thul\u0101th\u012b maz\u012bd\u00a0the word is from:\u00a036 times Differences in one or more words being extra:\u00a04 times Differences in a word present in a place of another word:\u00a06 times Differences in a word missing:\u00a00 times Differences in words being moved around:\u00a00 times Differences in a sentence being added or removed:\u00a00 times In the first 3 cases, there is no discrepency between the text of the codex and its recitation. However, in the fourth case when there is an extra word in one of the recitations, \u2018All\u0101mah either rejects it \u2013 like in the case of (8:1)\u00a0\u064a\u064e\u0633\u0652\u0623\u064e\u0644\u064f\u0648\u0646\u064e\u0643\u064e \u0639\u064e\u0646\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064e\u0646\u0641\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0650\u00a0which has also been recited as\u00a0\u064a\u064e\u0633\u0652\u0623\u064e\u0644\u064f\u0648\u0646\u064e\u0643\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064e\u0646\u0641\u064e\u0627\u0644, or he considers it to be an exegesis done in the middle of the verse like in the case of:\n (20:15)\u00a0\u0625\u0650\u0646\u064e\u0651 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u064e\u0651\u0627\u0639\u064e\u0629\u064e \u0622\u062a\u0650\u064a\u064e\u0629\u064c \u0623\u064e\u0643\u064e\u0627\u062f\u064f \u0623\u064f\u062e\u0652\u0641\u0650\u064a\u0647\u064e\u0627 \u0644\u0650\u062a\u064f\u062c\u0652\u0632\u064e\u0649\u0670 \u0643\u064f\u0644\u064f\u0651 \u0646\u064e\u0641\u0652\u0633\u064d \u0628\u0650\u0645\u064e\u0627 \u062a\u064e\u0633\u0652\u0639\u064e\u0649\u0670\u00a0It has been reported that Ibn \u2018Abb\u0101s and Im\u0101m al-\u1e62\u0101diq (a) recited the verse as follows:\u00a0\u0623\u064e\u0643\u064e\u0627\u062f\u064f \u0623\u064f\u062e\u0652\u0641\u0650\u064a\u0647\u064e\u0627 \u0639\u0646 \u0646\u0641\u0633\u064a. \u2018All\u0101mah considers this addition to be a commentary.\n In the fifth case where a word is present in place of another word, \u2018All\u0101mah considers five of those instances to be commentaries. One of those instances is a recitation attributed to Ibn \u2018Umar, which \u2018All\u0101mah considers to be made up by Ibn \u2018Umar himself.

that the people at the second floor of the building, Jinmo and Sunwoo, are trying to kick Nahee out of the building.\u00a0 Upon hearing this, Sera immediately rushed to second floor to confront them.\n\n\u00a0Yuri 'Good Job' Episode 2 Recap\n\nThey had no choice but to let Sera in.\u00a0 She hated the fact that they are trying to kick out her friend that's why she said no even they offered a large sum of money.\u00a0\u00a0 Sera even threatened Sunwoo that she will tell the media that he is living a double life.\n\n\nTo resolve the situation, Jinmo then gave in and said that they won't force them to move out anymore.\u00a0 Sera was happy about it that's why when she was about to leave, she told them that she also saw someone outside Oh AhRa's house that night.\n\n\nThey then went back to Oh AhRa's house where Sera told them what she saw and where the man carrying a luggage went after leaving the house.\u00a0 They didn't want to believe her at first but Sera was able to prove that she's telling the truth when they saw a CCTV and reviewed its recordings.\n\nAfter meeting with Sunwoo and Jinwoo, Sera also called the police and told them about the CCTV and the man with suitcase.\u00a0 This time, she tried to change her voice so that the detective won't recognize here.\n\nOn their way out, Sunwoo and Jinwoo saw Sera again.\u00a0 They asked her to come with them thinking that she could help them recognize the man in the CCTV footage.\u00a0 Sunwoo also offered Sera to be his assistant, not as a Chairman but as a Detective's assistant.\u00a0 Without hesitation, Sera quickly agreed.\n\nThey began their investigation, and here, Oh AhRa's manager recognized the man in the CCTV and said that he is Oh AhRa's stalker.\n\nThey went on and talked to the CEO of AhRa's agency.\u00a0 Sunwoo took the chance to ask about the diamond necklace but the CEO said that he never saw AhRa wearing them.\u00a0 Jinmo tried to threaten him a bit and finally, they got some more info.\u00a0 He said that he thinks the necklace could be from a man whom AhRa frequently met at Club Alien.\n\nThe three then went to the said club and here, we see Sera's gorgeous transformation.\u00a0 Their goal was to make her stand out while wearing the diamond necklace so that they can find the man who gave it to AhRa.\n\nNobody was coming so Sera and Sunwoo's friend then went inside the VIP room.\u00a0\u00a0\n\nInside the room, Sera witnessed that TaeJoon, who is also working at Eunkang Group, was about to hit her friend with a broken bottle of glass.\u00a0 She

Jinmo have started to notice her ability.\n\nThe next day, Sera received a call from Sunwoo.\u00a0 He said that he'll give her a present if she passes his test.\u00a0 He told her to come out and look at the rooftop of their headquarters.\u00a0 Sunwoo asked \"What does it say?\".\n\nSera read the note saying \"I found out your secret.\" but she tried to feint it by saying \"How should I know what you're holding?\".\u00a0 But Sunwoo was one step ahead as he replied with, \"I never said I was holding anything.\"\n\nSunwoo's claim became even clearer when he pretended to fall and saw Sera's

agency.\u00a0 Sunwoo took the chance to ask about the diamond necklace but the CEO said that he never saw AhRa wearing them.\u00a0 Jinmo tried to threaten him a bit and finally, they got some more info.\u00a0 He said that he thinks the necklace could be from a man whom AhRa frequently met at Club Alien.\n\nThe three then went to the said club and here, we see Sera's gorgeous transformation.\u00a0 Their goal was to make her stand out while wearing the diamond necklace so that they can find the man who gave it to AhRa.\n\nNobody was coming so Sera and Sunwoo's friend then went inside the VIP room.\u00a0\u00a0\n\nInside the room, Sera witnessed that TaeJoon, who is also working at Eunkang Group, was about to hit her friend with a broken bottle of glass.\u00a0 She immediately disregarded her mission and tried to stop him.\n\nSera managed to stop TaeJoon but now, she's the one who is in danger.\u00a0 Thankfully, Sunwoo came just in time to save her.\n\n\nSunwoo checked if Sera was hurt but as they were having a conversation, Sera suddenly stared into Sunwoo's eyes.\u00a0 It turns out that through his eyes, she noticed the man at the back and he has a hidden camera inside his shirt.\n\n\nSunwoo confronted the man, and they found out that it was AhRa's manager.\u00a0 They also found out that the CEO is also in it, and they are using the videos to blackmail their artists.\n\nTo help their investigation, the three then went straight to the CEO to retrieve the flash drive containing the other videos.\n\nSera called it a day and went home, but Sunwoo and Jinmo have started to notice her ability.\n\nThe next day, Sera received a call from Sunwoo.\u00a0 He said that he'll give her a present if she passes his test.\u00a0 He told her to come out and look at the rooftop of their headquarters.\u00a0 Sunwoo asked \"What does it say?\".\n\nSera read the note saying \"I found out your secret.\" but she tried to feint it by saying \"How should I know what you're holding?\".\u00a0 But Sunwoo was one step ahead as he replied with, \"I never said I was holding anything.\"\n\nSunwoo's claim became even clearer when he pretended to fall and saw Sera's reaction through the binoculars.\u00a0 The episode then ended with Sera left speechless.\n\n**What will happen now that they know each other's secrets?\u00a0 Stay tuned for Good Job's episodes next Wednesday and Thursday to find out.\n\n\u00a0\ud83d\udc49More posts about Yuri's 'GOOD JOB' \ud83d\udc48\n\nYuri Good Job Episode 2, Yuri Good Job, Good Job KDrama, Yuri Jung Ilwoo Good Job, Good Job

We engage with civilians in their communities to support their efforts to protect themselves from all manners of violence. We also engage external actors directly or indirectly involved in military operations, such as France, the UK, the United States, the United Nations (through close collaboration with our Peacekeeping Program), partner international human rights and humanitarian organizations.<|endoftext|>Herbert London: The Second Law of Thermodynamics and The Body Politic\n\nThe Second Law of Thermodynamics, which suggests that physical forces are gravitating to entropy, is a perfect metaphor for the moment. European economies are cascading into the netherworld of insolvency even as governments deny the reality. President Obama seemingly defies the rule of law by issuing executive orders that bypass the Congress. Unemployment in the U.S. remains over eight percent for the 42nd straight month. And unemployment in Spain for those under 25 is at 50 percent.\n\nThat isn\u2019t all. Iran, China and Russia have agreed to joint military maneuvers off the coast of Syria in an effort to bolster the Assad regime. And the U.S. is on the sidelines issuing empty platitudes about the ongoing butchery dictated to from Damascus. Iran is moving closer to refined fissile material for several nuclear weapons as futile talks continue on the disarmament front.\n\nMissiles are being fired from Gaza into Israel on a regular basis with more than 300 launched in the last two weeks. Evidence has been unearthed that Chavez, the president of Venezuela, has been underwriting the activities of narco-terrorists in Colombia and throughout the South American continent.\n\nExtremist parties are gaining traction in Europe, a scenario reminiscent of the 1930\u2019s. The neo-Nazi party garnered 7 percent of the recent Greek vote. The Communist party is gaining adherents in France. Radical Islamists have safe houses all over western Europe from Malmo in Sweden to Hamburg in Germany and Antwerp in Belgium. To the astonishment of those who adhere to Christian traditions, sharia has been gaining ground as a legal defense in many quarters including the office of the Archbishop of Canterbury.\n\nEducational attainment has been plummeting throughout the western world, a form of international dumbing down, despite a widespread belief in self esteem. Notwithstanding the economic miracle in China, that nation remains a police state capable of violating human rights routinely and when the government considers it necessary, brutalizing is own people. But since the U.S. position is compromised by the assumption of debt in China, not a cross word about human rights violations is", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 94888, "pt_loc": 114679123, "pt_shuffle_idx": 177368614, "doc_index_f": 278050574, "doc_index_l": 278050577, "offset_f": 76, "offset_l": 463, "pt_injection_pos": 2, "pt_window_offset": 3, "pt_injection_len": 17, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [1297, 111, 177, 464]} +{"pt_doc": "While the 33d Fighter Group was inactive, it was consolidated as 33d Tactical Fighter Group with the 33d Tactical Group.<|endoftext|>or\u201d was lexically the inverse of \u201cRoma\u201d, and so let us keep that one and you can come up with some other word to talk about natural law if you want.

I invoke almost all non-Christian culture against male monogamy, and the old testament, in particular Abraham, against female monogamy (though in that story, male non-monogamy works out badly, but we aren\u2019t lead to believe this is because it\u2019s intrinsically non-virtue-maximal). I doubt anyone has a good idea as to what\u2019s actually optimal. My best guess is that there are LARGE gaps between virtue-optimal romantic love, which would probably be close to fitness maximizing for its participants, and social-welfare-optimal romantic love.\n\n \u2022 Sarah says:\n\n Hm. From a social welfare perspective, you want children to be cared for, and adults to be sane, productive, and cooperative. That probably points towards young, child-producing marriages.\n\n Your problem really is Madame Bovary.\n\n People who can\u2019t really handle idealistic romance or sexual fulfillment but still try to live out the novels. (A cynic would say nobody can handle it.)\n\n I think in a lot of areas in life, there\u2019s a healthy optimal middle path, best E.V. for most people, and then there\u2019s an \u201cambitious\u201d way that can be really awesome but also catastrophic if you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing. This is how a lot of religions think of contemplative practices, for example. I think that also applies to, say, getting a doctorate or becoming an artist. If you make the \u201cambitious\u201d path costly and somewhat socially penalized, you have some hope of filtering out those who really shouldn\u2019t be doing it.\n\n I think there\u2019s an egalitarian-conservative perspective that says \u201cNope, you can\u2019t *have* a high-variance path, basically nobody can handle it, and even if someone could, they\u2019d set a bad example and ruin society.\u201d Except that doesn\u2019t match the example of history (where there have always been aristocrats, and jesters, and courtesans, and hermit priests, and generally small clearly labeled exceptions to the rules). I think the more stable solution is more like \u201cYou can do weird stuff, but you\u2019ll have to join the Weird Club, and it will be difficult, and you\u2019ll be sort of cut off from the normal world\u201d or \u201cYou can do weird stuff, but you\u2019ll have to work like hell and wait a long time to prove you\u2019re ready for it.\u201d\n\n \u2022 asdf says:\n\n Finally, a good comment.\n\n In many cultures they allow small castes of \u201cexperimenters\u201d, but keep them segregated somewhat and make sure that they don\u2019t become two high status (example, in Japan merchants could accumulate much wealth, but were still considered lower caste then farmers).\n\n The problem with weirdoes is the more they advertise their weirdness and promote it (say, with blog posts) the more of a danger they are to society and the more they have to be overtly repressed.\n\n \u2022 Gilbert says:\n\n I don\u2019t quite get what you mean with Abraham. The closest thing to female non-monogamy I remember is where he lies about Sara being his sister rather than his wife and the local big shot almost integrates her into his Harem. But a) that is clearly portrayed as a (metaphorical) fuck-up and b) my understanding is that he does so specifically because he expects the local big shot to be more respectful of female monogamy than of his life. That actually speaks to a fairly strong norm of female monogamy.\n\n As for male non-monogamy, yup, that\u2019s where the whole patriarchy thing starts to be plausible. For most of human history men got what woman owed them in that regard but didn\u2019t reciprocate. They also had slaves. This is one aspect where you see that early Christianity was particularly woman-friendly. (See here for a humorous take on some other ways.)\n\n \u2022 Berry says:\n\n It actually occurs three times that I know of in the Old Testament (see here), once with Abram and Pharoah, once with Abraham and Avimelech, and once with Isaac and Avimelech.\n\n 20. Mike Blume says:\n\n Fun fact: Not only are Scott and I living in the same apartment and sharing three partners, Scott also talked me into joining a game of Diplomacy with him. Because apparently we like to live dangerously =P\n\n 21. Nobody says:\n\n If it works for you, great.\n\n Having said that, since it\u2019s what you have your brain has a very high drive to make you believe that it works for you, even if it doesn\u2019t really \u2013 and I apologise if that comes across as snide, I\u2019m saying that because you\u2019re not impartial we have to take what you say with a grain of salt. People are big on affirming, defending and yes, even proselytising their beliefs, if you get my drift.\n\n Jealousy and envy are facets of our competitive nature, and monogamy seems to me to dampen the prospect of those getting out of hand. If that\u2019s not a problem for you, again, great, but I strongly doubt it would have worked for me. But maybe that\u2019s a personal flaw and from a future perspective I\u2019m a dinosaur who doesn\u2019t know his time is almost up.\n\n I do think you\u2019re fortunate if you\u2019ve managed to find stability in such a relationship. Life has a habit of throwing spanners in the works even of monogamous relationships, and given the complexity of people I have a hard time imagining a polyamorous relationship that would be more stable than a monogamous one without some very special people in the mix. I also wonder how children factor into the equation, but it might be a bit early to ask you that.\n\n 22. Sarah says:\n\n It is unkind to insinuate that people\u2019s personal romantic lives are bad. Still more unkind to insinuate that they or their loved ones are uncool or ugly.\n For myself, I have no interest in justifying how I live and love. Cuts too close to home. Why choose to make strangers a jury over my life?\n\n \u2022 im says:\n\n Indeed, and still more unkind to claim that their happiness is self-delusion.\n\n \u2022 spandrell says:\n\n Truth > Kindness.\n\n If you guys gave a shit about anything but feeling good about yourselves, you would be consumed by curiosity about why your sexual reward circuit is so different from anyone else\u2019s\n\n \u2022 ozymandias42 says:\n\n who says I\u2019m not?\n\n \u2022 im says:\n\n O really? And why do you desire truth?\n\n \u2022 michael vassar says:\n\n In my observations, dominance and coolness are more of a threat to truth than kindness is, though all are threats.\n\n I think that they have LOTS of things to be consumed by curiosity about. I certainly do, such that their sexual feelings treated as sample anomalies don\u2019t really make the list.\n\n Actually, if an adult (like Scott) is consumed by curiosity, they should be consumed by curiosity as to why their curiosity is so different from (almost) anyone else\u2019s, as that\u2019s much rarer than the poly stuff and seems potentially more interesting and more useful as well.\n\n \u2022 asdf says:\n\n Modesty is a virtue? You don\u2019t say.\n\n 23. \u201cBe financially supported by your partner\u201d a tenable career plan? I don\u2019t think most people financially supported by their partner planned on it as a career. I think they were forced into it by economic realities.\n\n Full time infant daycare costs around $27,000 to $30,000 per year in my local community. We\u2019ll save 1-2k with the 5k daycare FSA but other than that, we\u2019re screwed. Maybe you think I\u2019m kidding or exaggerating (I would have thought so myself two years ago), but the reality really sucks.\n\n This means if your partner makes 70k and you make 40k, you will literally be paying for the privilege of working. (And this is with just one infant \u2014 try adding another.) Avoiding one parent becoming financially dependent on their partner is a luxury of the very high earning. When daycare costs this much, the financially wise choice is often for one partner to pursue a \u201ccareer\u201d of financial dependence. In other words: it\u2019s not a damn career plan, it\u2019s a forced choice for many parents.\n\n I hope the numbers I\u2019ve linked to come as a reality check regarding child-rearing and stay-at-home-parenting and it changes your dialogue a bit in the future. It\u2019s a sad situation that so many are forced to quit their careers to perform childcare, and surely it\u2019s a waste of human capital to invest a lot into training and education only to have a parent forced", "base_doc": "or\u201d was lexically the inverse of \u201cRoma\u201d, and so let us keep that one and you can come up with some other word to talk about natural law if you want.

I asked if they were dating, he said no, she's been very clear that we're not dating.\u00a0 So you're just sleeping with her?\u00a0 No, it's more like dating.\u00a0 OKAY.), but bottom line is that he likes this person, and it's very obvious that she's the one driving this car.\u00a0 He's the me in this dynamic. He's the one who cares more.\n\nI don't know why I never seriously thought about how I would feel if this happened.\u00a0 I guess I just got complacent, and since I knew he wasn't online dating anymore, I figured that his difficult and divisive personality may keep him single for awhile.\u00a0 Besides that, he really just didn't seem to give a damn about dating.\u00a0 And yet now he is.\u00a0 He is dating one person, labeling aside.\u00a0 Weird.\u00a0\n\nIn the season finale of Girls last night, Adam, who has been estranged from Hannah for awhile, reappears in her life in a time of need.\u00a0 He swoops in when she needs help, wants help, but is afraid of help.\u00a0 He comes through for her, in spite of all of his faults and eccentricities and failings.\u00a0 And she lets him, in spite of her wariness and fear.\u00a0\n\nArtboy is not my Adam.\u00a0 He is not my anything anymore.\u00a0 During our conversation wherein he disclosed the dating, I asked why he was contacting me then.\u00a0 \"Because you're my friend.\u00a0 I like talking to you.\"\n\nRight.\u00a0 I really wish I believed him when he said that.\u00a0 I really, really do.\u00a0 For a long time that was what I wanted from him.\u00a0 Validation of our friendship.\u00a0 I've considered him a friend since we stopped dating, but I never really felt like it was reciprocated.\u00a0 I felt like I was a convenience, an easy outlet, a constant to take for granted.\u00a0 And now that he's dating someone else suddenly we're friends?\n\nI want to buy it, but I don't.\u00a0 Not at this point, anyway.\u00a0 Maybe he will prove me wrong.\u00a0 He is reaching out to me a lot more now since we had that convo.\u00a0 Maybe he'd backed off because he didn't know how to bring it up, didn't know how I would react, and now that I didn't explode/have a breakdown/freak out on him, he's back.\u00a0 I don't know.\n\nI know that no one in my life likes his presence in my world.\u00a0 I know that everyone thinks he's the devil and a manipulator and holding me back and everything else.\u00a0 I don't know what he is.\u00a0 But I do know that he is not my Adam.\u00a0 I thought he was.\u00a0 I hoped he might be, but he's not.\u00a0 I'm better off watching the fictional Adam in Hannah's fictional world, and knowing that I do not have that kind of person in my world.\u00a0 Reality check:\u00a0 complete.\n\nNo Artboy lectures here please.\u00a0I hesitated even blogging about this, but ultimately it is my blog, and I needed to put this out there. I am just doing my \"Girls\" thing....saying, doing and feeling sometimes cringe-worthy things.\u00a0 It happens.\u00a0 And I'm okay with it all.\u00a0 I hope you'll keep on \"watching\", anyway.\u00a0 :-)\n\n\n 1.

Check. The Sony Xperia Z2 does all the standard bits of messaging you'd expect to an acceptable grade. No real shock there.\n\nThe messaging app takes full advantage of any profile pictures attached to your contacts, displaying them in the messaging overview list as well as directly in the stream next to each and every missive.\n\nSony Xperia Z2 review\n\nImage quality is very low res, but they're also pretty small on screen so that's not a huge issue and it makes it clearer who said what. Yes, I get confused sometimes.\n\nThe stock Gmail app is present and correct for any of your Google email accounts, while the Email app takes care of all the rest. There's a simple step by step wizard to get you set up and the intuitive layout makes it easy to manage your messages.\n\nA slight speed bump in the messaging space on the Sony Xperia Z2 is its keyboard. While it's far from the worst I've experienced, it's also not the best.\n\nI prefer the stock Android keyboard, or the offerings from Samsung or HTC, over the one on the Xperia Z2.\n\nThe default layout makes the spacebar tiny, and thus I found myself consistently hitting comma or full stop.\n\nYou can edit the keyboard and get ride of the smiley button, allowing the spacebar to grow and thus leading to fewer errors on my behalf. There's also the option to allow the keyboard to skim your Gmail and social network activity to improve the next word prediction engine.\n\nSony Xperia Z2 review\n\nOverall travel between keys was acceptable, but I still found mistakes crept in more regularly than they did with my usual board of choice, Swiftkey.\n\nThe Xperia Z2 keyboard also supports the swiping style gesture input, which makes one handed typing easier and quicker.\n\nSurf's up\n\nHere's a turn up for the books, the Sony Xperia Z2 comes with one web browser - that's right, just one.\n\nSony Xperia Z2 review\n\nA number of manufacturers seem intent on providing their own web client alongside Google's Chrome on their devices, but Sony has avoided any confusion by providing Chrome only.\n\nI generally prefer Chrome over the other options found on Android handsets, and the clean UI makes for a stress free browsing experience.\n\nThe Sony Xperia Z2 is 4G enabled, allowing you to make use of superfast data speeds so long as you're on the right tariff and are in a coverage area.\n\nWi-Fi b/g/n/ac is also onboard if you don't want to eat through your data allowance, and I found the Z2 was able to load mobile sites in two seconds over a strong connection as well as over 4G.\n\nMove onto full desktop sites and the Xperia Z2 managed to load the content heavy TechRadar in six seconds, with the site being visable and functional after four.\n\nThat's an impressive showing and means you'll be skipping round the web with ease if you do plump for the Xperia Z2.\n\nThe competition\n\nHTC One M8\n\nThe HTC One M8 is currently", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 99796, "pt_loc": 41781284, "pt_shuffle_idx": 21927144, "doc_index_f": 34378566, "doc_index_l": 34378566, "offset_f": 5613, "offset_l": 7661, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 29, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": "Print Your Own Nutritional Labels with a Digital Color Label Printer\n\n\nWith an increasing number of consumers considering health information in their purchasing decisions, having accurate nutritional label information is mounting in importance. The Food and Drug Administration also has strict regulation on what must be included in the labels, which are subject to change at almost any time. This is why is it important to ensure that your organization is capable of\u00a0producing high-quality\u00a0custom printed labels\u00a0that reflect changing consumer demands and federal regulations.\u00a0\n\nAs competition for the food industry increases every year, having labels that ensure your product meets with optimal consumer perception is critical. Fortunately for producers and manufacturers alike, designing and printing quality, colorful labels is now easier than ever before.\u00a0\n\nWhat are nutritional labels?\n\nNutritional labels contain product-specific information designed to allow the consumer to make better informed choices about their diet. The nutritional label allows them to learn the nutritional value of the product quickly and efficiently, and to help avoid products that might aggravate an existing condition, such as high cholesterol or food allergies.\n\nWhat is included on a nutritional label?\n\nAccording to the FDA, the nutritional label must include a serving size, calories (and calories from fat), nutrients\u00a0(such as vitamins, cholesterol and sodium) and a percentage of daily value. The percentage of daily value is based on\u00a02,000 calorie daily diet, and can help consumers during product comparison.\n\nServing Size\n\nServing size is the first piece of information listed on a nutritional label. The FDA standardized serving sizes to make it easier to compare similar foods; they are provided in familiar units, such as cups or pieces, followed by the metric amount, or the number of grams. Consumers can also learn how many servings the product contains, which can speak to the value of the product.\u00a0\n\n\nCalories describe the energy content of the product per serving. For those looking to manage their weight, knowing the amount of calories per serving is critical. \u00a0This information is listed directly beneath the serving size, alongside the amount of total calories from the fat content of the product.\u00a0\n\n\nNutrients are listed underneath calories in the nutritional label. The nutrients listed first are those that can have negative effects if consumed too much, such as total fat, cholesterol and sodium. According to the FDA, eating too much fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, or sodium may increase your risk of certain chronic diseases, like heart disease, some cancers, or high blood pressure.\u00a0\n\nThe nutrients listed beneath these are those that American commonly need more of, such as\u00a0dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron. An adequate intake of these nutrients can reduce the risk of some diseases and conditions. For example, getting enough calcium may reduce the risk of osteoporosis, a condition that results in brittle bones.\n\nPercent Daily Value\n\nThe percent daily value helps consumers determine if a serving of food is high or low in a nutrient. The percentage is based off a 2,000 calorie diet, and allows for quick comparison of the nutritional benefits of different products.\u00a0\n\nAccording to the FDA, a daily value of 5 percent is low, while a daily value of 20 percent or greater is high. Ideally, consumers should look for a higher percentage of beneficial nutrients, such as calcium and fiber, and lower for nutrients such as fat and cholesterol.\n\nPrinting Your Own Nutritional Labels\u00a0\n\nFortunately for producers and manufacturers, DuraFast offers a range of nutritional and product label\u00a0printing solutions\u00a0for organizations of all sizes.

Now 21\" tall and pushing 45 pounds. He loves the cats and wants to play with them, however the cats just don't have the same feelings about Rusty (yet).\n UPDATE 9/22/99: Not much taller but weighing in at 59 pounds. We have gone from a short burnt orange coat to a strawberry brown and thicker coat. The tail is now tipped with a hint of black and a few white hairs on the chest. His personality has shown its true side, Ridgeback!\n In just six months we have dealt with an infection under the jaw, sarcoptic mange, ear infection, worms, and two rounds of the red mange. I WAS going to get a new computer, now our vet can afford one. ;-)\n UPDATE 10/8/00: You can sum it up in two words \"BIG & HEALTHY\"! The boy has had a very good year, 10 months and the only trip to the vet was for a routine check-up and shots.\nBoeing - Our flat coat retreaver/X\n\nThe 2000 + Rainbow Bridge\n\nOur fur kids are only on loan to us for a very short period of time. Then it is their time to move on.\nThese are the fur kids that left us since 2000.\n\nCotton: Arrived 2/23/98 and left us in summer of 2002. She was a very loving cat. Her coat is as white a snow, eyes as blue as the sky, and a purr that sounded like a race car. Cotton had been in danger of being \"put-down\". She was found in Texas, wounded. The people that found her took her to the local vet, there she tested + for feline leukemia. Homes for these cats are hard to find. Lucky for her, every one in the vet office worked hard looking for a home. The vet did all the medical care, one of the employee's mothers, drove down and got her (600+ miles), to bring her to us.\n\nWhile Cotton only spent just over four years with us, we won't forget her. She earned the nick name of 'Her Highness' and was full of spunk until the end, when she lost her battle with leukemia.\n\nAshley: 2002 - 2008 While working on an extended project in Miami, I became a bit lonly and bord. Sitting at my computer in the hotel I stubled accross a local cat rescue website. There she was, the perfect little family member!\u00a0 Rescued from a horder with 135+ cats, with only one eye and Feline leukemia+, what more could you ask for!\n\nAs a rule, this rescue group didn't adopt to out of state folks, but after a long conversaion on the phone, they offered to bring her by the hotel.\u00a0 I think they figured out I wasn't just the average person. It was love at first sight, Ashley jumped right into my lap. Resuce was so happy that she was going to a good home they waived the adoption fee.\n\nAfter the project was done, it was time for Ashley and I to go home. I didn't want her to go as freight, and I couldn't take her on the plane with me. So I called in a few favors, she rode home in the cock-pit of a DC-8 cargo plane!\n\nAshely lived the good life, she loved everyone, it didn't matter if you had two legs or four.\n\nHowever the summer of 2008, her good eye got infected. After two rounds of antiabotics and no improvment (the infection was spreading), we made the difficult dission to have her PTS.\n\nRudy: 2000 - 2008 Born to irresponable people, who gave him to 'human trash'. The boy could have been bad, but never held a grudge. His mama was Rott, his father was the black Lab down the road, and he was the runt of a large litter.\n\nHe was given to a family as a 'FREE PUPPY'. After a couple of weeks, he found himself chained to a tree, and classifed as being to stupid to housebeak. By the end of his first year of life, the owners were down to feeding him only a cuple of times a week, and that was proving to be too much trouble. They thought nothing of telling some friends that they were planning to dump him in the woods the next week-end!!!\n\nLuck was on Rudy's side, one of the friends was a dog lover, and while they couldn't take Rudy in, the activelty looked for a home.... our phone rang.. and the rest is history.\n\nRudy came to us about 40 pounds under weight, no training, but with lots of love to give. First thing was a trip to the vet for a good medical, shots and to be altered. Then lots of food, love and training, proved to be all the boy needed.\n\nRudy wasn't a saint, by any means, but worth his weight in gold.\n\nThe summer of 2008, he suddenly quit eating his dog food.\nOne trip to our regualr vet, who wasn't that worried,\nOne trip to the doggie ER who just blew it off to 'old grumppy Rott''.\nA trip to a friend's vet, who ran an x-ray and was worrid, and refered us to another vet.\nThe last stop, one of the best equipet vet offices in the city. By now it had been almost 5 weeks, since Rudy had quit eating dog food. I was cooking and spoon feeding the boy. This vet, figured out the problem... cancer.\u00a0 Rudy died a week later.\n\nGiven new Homes\n\nSometimes giving your pet a new home is the best choice.\n\nIn 2000, we had to make a move (900+ miles north) in the dead of winter. Some animals just don't do long winter moves as well as others fish top the list and snakes are a close second.\n\nAlso the cost of transporting big tanks isn't cheap. So all of the fish and equipement were sold/given away.\u00a0 Junior and Red, went to a friend who had several pythons and boas of his own.\n\n- Bad temper but cute Royal Python. This little guy was my wedding gift. While on our honeymoon, my husband looked in the local newspaper and saw an add for a \"Ball Python with set-up\". Well he knew nothing about snakes, but knew I wanted something called a python. So here came Junior, the tank was the right size, but that was the only thing done right. This poor guy was underfed, his water bowl was 1/2\" deep and 3\" around. Junior is about 4 feet long. To add insult he had been kept on sand. Well a lot of care and food, he looks great, but still refuses to accept humans.\n UPDATE 1/1/99: Doing well, still strikes.

Only 16 weeks old and was to be killed in two days. How could we pass him up? So far is doing well, very loving, and has only had 1 accident in side! What a nice surprise, not having to deal with little puddles. Now at almost 17 weeks of age is 17\" tall and 29 pounds.\n UPDATE 5/13/99: Doing very well, has started basic classes. Now 21\" tall and pushing 45 pounds. He loves the cats and wants to play with them, however the cats just don't have the same feelings about Rusty (yet).\n UPDATE 9/22/99: Not much taller but weighing in at 59 pounds. We have gone from a short burnt orange coat to a strawberry brown and thicker coat. The tail is now tipped with a hint of black and a few white hairs on the chest. His personality has shown its true side, Ridgeback!\n In just six months we have dealt with an infection under the jaw, sarcoptic mange, ear infection, worms, and two rounds of the red mange. I WAS going to get a new computer, now our vet can afford one. ;-)\n UPDATE 10/8/00: You can sum it up in two words \"BIG & HEALTHY\"! The boy has had a very good year, 10 months and the only trip to the vet was for a routine check-up and shots.\nBoeing - Our flat coat retreaver/X\n\nThe 2000 + Rainbow Bridge\n\nOur fur kids are only on loan to us for a very short period of time. Then it is their time to move on.\nThese are the fur kids that left us since 2000.\n\nCotton: Arrived 2/23/98 and left us in summer of 2002. She was a very loving cat. Her coat is as white a snow, eyes as blue as the sky, and a purr that sounded like a race car. Cotton had been in danger of being \"put-down\". She was found in Texas, wounded. The people that found her took her to the local vet, there she tested + for feline leukemia. Homes for these cats are hard to find. Lucky for her, every one in the vet office worked hard looking for a home. The vet did all the medical care, one of the employee's mothers, drove down and got her (600+ miles), to bring her to us.\n\nWhile Cotton only spent just over four years with us, we won't forget her. She earned the nick name of 'Her Highness' and was full of spunk until the end, when she lost her battle with leukemia.\n\nAshley: 2002 - 2008 While working on an extended project in Miami, I became a bit lonly and bord. Sitting at my computer in the hotel I stubled accross a local cat rescue website. There she was, the perfect little family member!\u00a0 Rescued from a horder with 135+ cats, with only one eye and Feline leukemia+, what more could you ask for!\n\nAs a rule, this rescue group didn't adopt to out of state folks, but after a long conversaion on the phone, they offered to bring her by the hotel.\u00a0 I think they figured out I wasn't just the average person. It was love at first sight, Ashley jumped right into my lap. Resuce was so happy that she was going to a good home they waived the adoption fee.\n\nAfter the project was done, it was time for Ashley and I to go home. I didn't want her to go as freight, and I couldn't take her on the plane with me. So I called in a few favors, she rode home in the cock-pit of a DC-8 cargo plane!\n\nAshely lived the good life, she loved everyone, it didn't matter if you had two legs or four.\n\nHowever the summer of 2008, her good eye got infected. After two rounds of antiabotics and no improvment (the infection was spreading), we made the difficult dission to have her PTS.\n\nRudy: 2000 - 2008 Born to irresponable people, who gave him to 'human trash'. The boy could have been bad, but never held a grudge. His mama was Rott, his father was the black Lab down the road, and he was the runt of a large litter.\n\nHe was given to a family as a 'FREE PUPPY'. After a couple of weeks, he found himself chained to a tree, and classifed as being to stupid to housebeak. By the end of his first year of life, the owners were down to feeding him only a cuple of times a week, and that was proving to be too much trouble. They thought nothing of telling some friends that they were planning to dump him in the woods the next week-end!!!\n\nLuck was on Rudy's side, one of the friends was a dog lover, and while they couldn't take Rudy in, the activelty looked for a home.... our phone rang.. and the rest is history.\n\nRudy came to us about 40 pounds under weight, no training, but with lots of love to give. First thing was a trip to the vet for a good medical, shots and to be altered. Then lots of food, love and training, proved to be all the boy needed.\n\nRudy wasn't a saint, by any means, but worth his weight in gold.\n\nThe summer of 2008, he suddenly quit eating his dog food.\nOne trip to our regualr vet, who wasn't that worried,\nOne trip to the doggie ER who just blew it off to 'old grumppy Rott''.\nA trip to a friend's vet, who ran an x-ray and was worrid, and refered us to another vet.\nThe last stop, one of the best equipet vet offices in the city. By now it had been almost 5 weeks, since Rudy had quit eating dog food. I was cooking and spoon feeding the boy. This vet, figured out the problem... cancer.\u00a0 Rudy died a week later.\n\nGiven new Homes\n\nSometimes giving your pet a new home is the best choice.\n\nIn 2000, we had to make a move (900+ miles north) in the dead of winter. Some animals just don't do long winter moves as well as others fish top the list and snakes are a close second.\n\nAlso the cost of transporting big tanks isn't cheap. So all of the fish and equipement were sold/given away.\u00a0 Junior and Red, went to a friend who had several pythons and boas of his own.\n\n- Bad temper but cute Royal Python. This little guy was my wedding gift. While on our honeymoon, my husband looked in the local newspaper and saw an add for a \"Ball Python with set-up\". Well he knew nothing about snakes, but knew I wanted something called a python. So here came Junior, the tank was the right size, but that was the only thing done right. This poor guy was underfed, his water bowl was 1/2\" deep and 3\" around. Junior is about 4 feet long. To add insult he had been kept on sand. Well a lot of care and food, he looks great, but still refuses to accept humans.\n UPDATE 1/1/99: Doing well, still strikes. He is now at a friend's house, with any luck will mate with his female.\n\nRed - a very nice looking Red Tail Boa. We found him in the local pet shop, the previous owner had donated him because he had become to large. He came in a 30 gal. tank that was way too small for a 6+ foot boa.

Hex. - community tank\n\nTank 2 is a 55 gal. - Jewels and Plecos\n\nTank 3 is a 75 gal. - UPDATE: Was most interesting community, however had a fungus that we couldn't get under control. The Jewels survived, but Jack, Julie and Oscar didn't. Rover since has also passed away. To make room this tank has been shut down, until we move back into the house. The Jewels now live in the 55.\n\nTank 4 is the largest 150 gal. - Oscars & Plecos\n\nTank 5 is a 5 gal Hex - this is the baby tank for all the fry\n\nAny one who thinks that fish aren't like other pets, never had an Oscar. Like other animals fish do have different personalities. Some are very calm and passive, while others are simply bullies. Over the years I had some very unique fish, even though some are no longer with us, they will not be forgotten.\n\nRover, Jack & Julie all came in a VERY dirty 55 gal. A friend of mine had become to busy with work, family, and a new puppy. Rather than let the fish suffer, he sold me the fish and set-up. It only took 2 weeks before we bought the 75 gal.

It shows that a particularly troublesome strain of avian influenza, designated H5N1, which has been worrying public health officials for more than a decade, has the potential to become a human pandemic. In other words, H5N1 bird flu, which so far has been highly lethal to humans but has not acquired the ability to spread easily among us, could do so at any time.\n\nThe researchers, under the direction of Yoshihiro Kawaoka at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, crossed an H5N1 virus with the H1N1 pandemic virus of 2009, which spread like wildfire from one end of the world to another. The 2009 pandemic, you\u2019ll recall, caught public health officials by surprise but luckily turned out to be mild. Kawaoka\u2019s lab-made hybrid virus spreads among ferrets by airborne droplets expelled during the course of respiration\u2013just as human influenza viruses such as the 2009 pandemic strain spread from person to person. Kawaoka\u2019s concoction does not kill ferrets, and probably wouldn\u2019t kill humans, but the feat is troubling because it demonstrates that an H5N1 virus that can spread among humans is most likely possible. (We don\u2019t know for sure because it was tested only on ferrets, not humans, of course.)\n\nWhether an H5N1 virus could acquire the two deadly traits\u2013transmissibility and lethality\u2013at the same time is a burning question. (Kawaoka\u2019s paper does not address it.) If one could, it would be bad news indeed. The 1918 flu virus, an H1N1 type, killed about 2 or 2.5 percent of the people it infected but spread so readily the death toll reached 20 million to 50 million. By contrast, about 60 percent of the 600 or so people who have caught H5N1 in the past few years have died. A highly transmissible H5N1 virus with a 60 percent fatality rate could kill hundreds of millions of people, perhaps billions.\n\nThat\u2019s not likely to happen, fortunately. The known H5N1 viruses that currently exist in nature do not attach to the upper respiratory tracts of humans, so most victims caught the virus from close contact with birds. And there is reason to think that a highly lethal but poorly transmissible virus like H5N1 would change in the process of becoming transmissible\u2014that in acquiring the ability to spread, the virus would have to make genetic tradeoffs that compromise its ability to kill. For instance, one reason that the Ebola virus doesn\u2019t spread widely among humans is that it is too efficient\u2014mortality is as high as 90 percent\u2014which means victims die before they can infect many others. We do not know, however, to what extent a human-transmissible H5N1 virus would have to make this tradeoff. Scientists differ widely in their opinions on this point.\n\nThe strain that Kawaoka concocted in his lab seems to be mild\u2014it made ferrets sick, but didn\u2019t kill them. Even if his virus is not itself dangerous, however, it demonstrates that an H5N1 strain could one day arise that turns into a worrisome human pathogen. As Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, has pointed out, a human-transmissible virus with a lethality rate 20 times lower than current wild strains of H5N1 would still kill more efficiently than the 1918 flu. The degree to which H5N1 is potentially dangerous to humans is the subject of much speculation.\n\nIn part because of all the uncertainty, the biosecurity community has been in an uproar ever since the Kawaoka paper came to their attention last year. (Things really got stirred up when Ron Fouchier of Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam made remarks at a conference in Malta about similar work on H5N1 transmissibility, which he submitted to Science but has been held up by the Dutch government.) Many security experts believe no work on H5N1 transmissibility among mammals should have been conducted in the first place, and that the world would be a safer place if information about the results of the Kawaoka and Fouchier experiments and their methods were never disseminated. (Although the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity voted to green-light the publication of both papers, that vote came only after the results and the methods used to make the viruses had been disseminated to hundreds of people in the course of the standard pre-publication review process; holding up publication at that point, in this age of Wikileaks, probably would have been futile.) Recently the U.S. government has called for risk-benefit assessments of pathogens on its select agent list before research is conducted (H5N1 is on that list), but compliance is left to the funding agencies. Some biosecurity experts are calling for further restrictions in H5N1 research on transmissibility among mammals, such as limiting the work to labs with the highest biosafety standards.\n\nMany scientists believe this would be a mistake. They think that research on what could possibly make H5N1 deadly to humans is too urgent to be put under onerous security constraints. I interviewed Kawaoka in 2010, during the course of research for my book, The Fate Of the Species (which Bloomsbury releases on May 22). At the time, Kawaokoa was deeply worried about the danger of H5N1 bird flu. There had been outbreaks among poultry in 1997 and again in 2004 in Hong Kong, and the virus had shown other signs of restlessness\u2014it had killed wild birds, which usually carry H5N1 without symptoms, and it had shown a propensity to spread outward from east Asia, despite the culling of millions of chickens and other poultry. How long would it be before nature\u2019s roulette wheel produced a human version of H5N1?\n\nKawaoka got a taste of how nasty bird flu can be when he arrived in the United States in 1983 as a young researcher in the lab of Robert Webster at St. Jude Children\u2019s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. Webster was investigating the theory that birds provide a reservoir for human influenza viruses (which has since been confirmed and is now accepted as conventional wisdom). Webster got wind of an outbreak of avian influenza on poultry farms in Pennsylvania and raced to the scene, sending tissue samples back to Kawaoka, who analyzed them in the lab.\n\nThe 1983 demonstrated to the young Kawaoka how changeable and dynamic a flu virus can be. The outbreak started out in April 1983 as a mild virus\u2014it make chickens a little wheezy, but didn\u2019t kill", "base_doc": ", but to demonstrate feasibility. Jules Verne and Leonardo da Vinci both knew that flight was possible, just not yet technologically available. There is no physical law that prevents space elevators from being possible. I cannot say for sure that by the time they become competitive, there won't be a better or more awesome way to get to space. Hopefully involving warp drives. But what I've shown is that it's nearly economically feasible too.\u00a0\n\nIf I were to hazard a guess for when it would be likely to build one? 15 years to put people on Mars. 5 more to set up a permanent base. 5 more to begin mass migration. 20 more to move half a million people there. At this point continued migration would be cheaper by space elevator, even if people were only going one way. So 2055, which is in my lifetime, hopefully. A space elevator on Mars could be built much more easily due to its reduced gravity.\n\n\n 1.

The outbreak started out in April 1983 as a mild virus\u2014it make chickens a little wheezy, but didn\u2019t kill many of them. By November, the virus (an H5N2 type) had given rise to a sub-strain that was highly lethal. Chickens started keeling over, and farmers worried for their livelihoods. The U.S. Department of Agriculture came in to handle the outbreak, imposing a military-style culling of 17 million birds from Pennsylvania to Virginia. (No people died in the outbreak, just poultry.)\n\nWhile all this was going on, Kawaoka, back in Memphis, isolated samples of the virus and infected chickens in the lab to see how the virus worked. The mortality rate among his chickens was 100 percent. When he performed autopsies, he found that the virus had ravaged not just the birds\u2019 gastrointestinal tracts, which you\u2019d expect in a bird flu, but almost every organ\u2014the kind of total attack documented in human victims of Ebola.\n\nLater, Kawaoka decided to compare the April strain and the November one to find out what had changed to make the virus suddenly lethal. He found that the two were identical except for a single protein. \u201cWhat this tells you,\u201d Kawaoka told me in 2010, \u201cis that a highly pathogenic virus was generated from a single mutation.

At the end of the fifteenth century, detachable sleeves appeared or tightly fitted sleeves were slit at the elbow and along the forearm to allow movement.\n\nSixteenth Century\n\nIn the sixteenth century, the doublet was a major men\u2019s garment covering the upper torso from neck to waist. It was tightly fitted with low, U- or V-shaped necklines and wide sleeves, and was constructed with panes or slashing of heavy velvet or satin fabrics. Doublets were worn under the man\u2019s jerkin or gown, but no longer served the function of supporting a man\u2019s hose. Instead, breeches and stockings were sewn together; the top of a man\u2019s breeches was held up with silk or linen laces at the doublet waist. Some doublets were cut with short, gored skirts, or worn with the separate military skirt called bases. By mid-century, necklines were higher on the throat, and by century-end doublets had a stiff, standing collar to support the ruff. Doublet waistlines were lowered in front, and the elongated wool, bran, horsehair, or short, waste linen fibers, V-shaped waistline was padded and stuffed with wool, bran, horsehair, or short linen fibers by the end of the century, imitating the exaggerated style called a peascod belly. Layers of stiff linen canvas were stitched together to create the doublet front, and extra layers of stiffened linen strengthened the front button closure. Doublet waistlines were further accentuated with a row of small square flaps called pecadils. Doublet sleeves were padded with felted woolen cloth at the shoulders, and shoulder seams were constructed with a narrow wing or padded roll over the top.\n\nSeventeenth Century\n\nThe padding and exaggerated features of the doublet were gradually abandoned in the first quarter of the seventeenth century, but the narrow-waisted silhouette remained. Through the 1630s, ribbon points tied into bows at the waist were used as a decorative feature. In the second quarter, the overlapping pecadils, or short peplum, lengthened to cover the hips, and waistlines were set slightly above the natural waistline. Heavy fabrics richly embellished with silk and metallic embroidery lend a stiff, formal silhouette to portraits in the early to mid-seventeenth century. By 1620, breeches were suspended from the doublet by large metal hooks sewn into their waistband and attached to metal eyelets on a tape sewn into the doublet waist. By the early 1660s, doublets were straight, unfitted, and shortened to above the waist; breeches were no longer tied to the doublet at all. By 1670, the doublet had been replaced by the waistcoat and coat of the three-piece suit introduced by the British monarch Charles II.\n\n\nArnold, Janet.

Some testing was done around the microtransaction model, but \u201cnot enough to really understand\u201d some of the reactions that they ultimately got.\n\nThat being said, he added that for EA this is a \u201cgreat learning experience,\u201d and the company is listening to its customers. Doing so now and down the line is \u201cvery important,\u201d and Jorgensen added that the moment in which they don\u2019t make mistakes and aren\u2019t learning from them, that\u2019s when it\u2019s time to worry about them.\n\nIn EA\u2019s view this is a \u201cgreat opportinity\u201d to continue tuning the game and adjust things.\u00a0Microtransactions were removed from the game because consumers felt that they were \u201ca pay-to-win mechanic.\u201d The reality of things is that there are different types of gamers, some have more time than money, and others\u00a0have more money than time. The goal is to have a balance between them. EA plans to continue to work with its consumer base and to look at the data, learning from that to try to \u201cunderstand the best ways to create a game that is deeply engaging, that people play for a long time, and that everyone can enjoy\u00a0 whether they grind, they pay, or they do both.\u201d\n\nAt the moment EA is observing the gameplay so they don\u2019t yet know how this will evolve. Yet, they\u2019re \u201clearning, listening, reacting\u201d and they\u2019ll continue to try to make\u00a0Star Wars Battlefront II\u00a0a great game, while learning on how they might roll out live services going forward.\n\nWe also hear that Jorgensen believes that for sixty bucks players are getting two or three years of entertainment, and \u201cthat\u2019s a pretty good deal.\u201d He can think of no entertainment medium offering the same. Going to a movie will cost you twenty to forty bucks before you buy the popcorn. That\u2019s a much shorter experience than that offered by a game.\n\nEA has not decided yet on when microtransactions will return. They\u2019re currently watching how people play the game, which has lots of different modes, so they\u2019re also trying to understand if there are certain modes where microtransactions might be more interesting, and what consumers are saying about them, and what the metrics look like.\u00a0 The most important thing at the moment is \u201clistening to the consumers and designing events and live services that will keep them playing for a long time.\u201d\n\nWe also learn that most microtransaction revenue\u00a0wasn\u2019t even included in the company\u2019s revenue predictions, as they did not know what effects they would have.\n\nJorgensen was also asked about the", "base_doc": " fifteenth century, the doublet remained a short, waist-length garment with sleeves worn over a linen undershirt and layered under a jacket or outer tunic-like garment. The sleeves and collars were often the only visible portions of the doublet. By mid-century, the silhouette was pared down, more slender and elegant, and the waist-length doublet was expertly constructed and tightly fitted with four seams\u2014down the front, back, and sides. Collars were removed and necklines lowered and squared-off. The center front was often open or slightly unlaced, revealing the edges of the linen shirt underneath, a feature that became more prominent through the end of the fifteenth century.

Some testing was done around the microtransaction model, but \u201cnot enough to really understand\u201d some of the reactions that they ultimately got.\n\nThat being said, he added that for EA this is a \u201cgreat learning experience,\u201d and the company is listening to its customers. Doing so now and down the line is \u201cvery important,\u201d and Jorgensen added that the moment in which they don\u2019t make mistakes and aren\u2019t learning from them, that\u2019s when it\u2019s time to worry about them.\n\nIn EA\u2019s view this is a \u201cgreat opportinity\u201d to continue tuning the game and adjust things.\u00a0Microtransactions were removed from the game because consumers felt that they were \u201ca pay-to-win mechanic.\u201d The reality of things is that there are different types of gamers, some have more time than money, and others\u00a0have more money than time. The goal is to have a balance between them. EA plans to continue to work with its consumer base and to look at the data, learning from that to try to \u201cunderstand the best ways to create a game that is deeply engaging, that people play for a long time, and that everyone can enjoy\u00a0 whether they grind, they pay, or they do both.\u201d\n\nAt the moment EA is observing the gameplay so they don\u2019t yet know how this will evolve. Yet, they\u2019re \u201clearning, listening, reacting\u201d and they\u2019ll continue to try to make\u00a0Star Wars Battlefront II\u00a0a great game, while learning on how they might roll out live services going forward.\n\nWe also hear that Jorgensen believes that for sixty bucks players are getting two or three years of entertainment, and \u201cthat\u2019s a pretty good deal.\u201d He can think of no entertainment medium offering the same. Going to a movie will cost you twenty to forty bucks before you buy the popcorn. That\u2019s a much shorter experience than that offered by a game.\n\nEA has not decided yet on when microtransactions will return. They\u2019re currently watching how people play the game, which has lots of different modes, so they\u2019re also trying to understand if there are certain modes where microtransactions might be more interesting, and what consumers are saying about them, and what the metrics look like.\u00a0 The most important thing at the moment is \u201clistening to the consumers and designing events and live services that will keep them playing for a long time.\u201d\n\nWe also learn that most microtransaction revenue\u00a0wasn\u2019t even included in the company\u2019s revenue predictions, as they did not know what effects they would have.\n\nJorgensen was also asked about the possibility of having cosmetic microtransactions,\u00a0 and he explained that EA works very closely with Disney and Lucasfilm. They are \u201cextremely focused\u201d on not violating the canon of Star Wars, and a bunch of cosmetic microtransactions might start to do that. As an example, he mentioned that Darth Vader in white would probably not make sense, and you probably don\u2019t want him in pink.\n\nThat being said, he added that some cosmetic microtransactions are still a possibility, and EA is working with Lucasfilm on that", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 107976, "pt_loc": 181991217, "pt_shuffle_idx": 251299179, "doc_index_f": 393911490, "doc_index_l": 393911492, "offset_f": 936, "offset_l": 810, "pt_injection_pos": 2, "pt_window_offset": 149, "pt_injection_len": 260, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [1088, 150, 811]} +{"pt_doc": "I saw he regretted his speech as soon as he had uttered it.

If so, try and switch them off. Likewise, if you find that you\u2019re following certain accounts on social media that make it harder to step away from on your phone, think about how they make you feel, and consider if it\u2019s worth taking a break from them \u2013 whether it\u2019s unfollowing them or muting the account.\"\n\nSet small goals\n\n\"Setting a big goal is a sure way to set yourself up for failure, so instead, think about the small ways you can switch up your behaviour that will lead to longer, lasting changes. For example, try setting aside time to keep your phone out of sight during your day. Even 30 minutes during your commute will make a visible change.\"\n\nUse your phone to limit your time\n\n\"Many smartphones now have inbuilt technology that allows you to limit on the amount of time you spend on certain apps each day. Use these options to help reduce your scroll time and encourage you to place your focus elsewhere.\"\n\nMake time for non-tech activities\n\n\"Pairing a tech timeout with a fun activity can be really helpful, encouraging you to keep occupied without needing a phone. For example, you could plan an afternoon with friends or get involved in a team sport that enables you to be present rather than focused on your screen.\"\n", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 109612, "pt_loc": 33381275, "pt_shuffle_idx": 10525756, "doc_index_f": 16500048, "doc_index_l": 16500049, "offset_f": 237, "offset_l": 1551, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 280, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [497, 1552]} +{"pt_doc": "With almost maternal solicitude she urged him to let his nature\nopen to the full: she became his confessor.

The billionaire Jimmy John Founder started the company with just a $25,000 investment from his father, and grew his business considerably in the next 36 years.\n\nYou might only know Jimmy John\u2019s from the sandwiches they offer, but here are some other interesting things you should know about Jimmy John\u2019s.\n\nJimmy John Liautaud Was Not The Brightest Student\n\nAs we all expect, restaurant owners usually graduate on the top of their class, go to a culinary school and hone their skills before launching a business. However, this was not the case with Jimmy John\u2019s founder. He graduated from high school on second last.\n\nAdditionally, all of those bright owners are proud of becoming corporate owned, Jimmy John\u2019s is mostly franchise owned and not corporate owned.\n\nThey Stopped Using Yellow Mustard\n\nThe sandwich chain does not use yellow mustard anymore. The only reason why they dropped it out of their menu is backseat it is not fast to work with, and slows down the meal preparation process. Jimmy John\u2019s, on the other hand, is all about fast delivery, so they stopped using yellow mustard.\n\nHowever, if you must have yellow mustard in your sandwich, they can provide you with separate packets that you can use. For the same reason, they use only one type of cheese in their products.\n\nNo Sprouts\n\nJimmy John\u2019s used to offer optional topping of sprouts on top of their products, but they had to stop doing this because of the various illnesses caused by eating raw sprouts. But they kept growing sprouts in the past two years.\n\nThey are currently operating in 47 states, so, there is always a JJ\u2019s within your arm\u2019s reach.\n\ntree trimming services in my area\n\nMistakes to Avoid When Hiring a Tree Service\n\nPeople hire tree services to get many tasks done. Hiring one for some work in your property can be a big decision.\n\nHiring the wrong service provider can do more damage to your property that it can help. So, here are the mistakes that you will need to avoid when hiring tree services in Madera CA.\n\nHiring a Novice Company\n\nIt is true that every company has it\u2019s starting point, but tree service is a risky task, and you should not take this risk. You should only hire the tree service companies who have been providing their services in the industry for a long time, preferably for over 10 years.\n\nIf possible, you should contact and hire the oldest tree service provider in your area. That is because they always know the nitty-gritties for working in your area, and can do the job perfectly.\n\nNot Checking The Insurance\n\nBefore hiring a tree service, especially for tree removal, you must check the insurance they have to cover any damage that might be caused to your property during their work. So ask for the proof of insurance before hiring a company to work in your premises.\n\nIf you hire a company that does not have insurance, you will have to cover any damage caused to your property by their work. Also, you will have to bear the medical bills of their employees if anyone gets injured during work.\n\nSkipping The References\n\nTo check the build claims of tree service providers, you can ask them to provide you with references and you can check them on your own to make sure you will like the quality of their service.\n\nThis is how you can hire a good tree service company providing services \u00a0in your locality.\n\naccountant jobs\n\nWhy Profit & Loss Statements Matter\n\nA common practice in the world of business when it comes to accounting is to just have an account that deals with all of the money that the business is earning and spending and then calling it a day. While this is a good first step, if you want to learn from people like The ACT Group you need to bear in mind that profit and loss statements matter as well. If you just have a bank account that is used for business transactions and you get a statement from this, you would see how much money has gone in and out but you won\u2019t know how to figure out looking into whether or not you earned a profit or sustained a loss.\n\nWith all of that having been said and out of the way, it is important to note that if you were to make profit and loss statements then problems like this would no longer end up happening. Most of the time you wouldn\u2019t really have all that many potential benefits to avoiding making these apart from saving a little bit of time that really won\u2019t make all that much of a difference.\n\nAn accountant hired for the specific purpose of drawing up these statements would be a good investment.

The billionaire Jimmy John Founder started the company with just a $25,000 investment from his father, and grew his business considerably in the next 36 years.\n\nYou might only know Jimmy John\u2019s from the sandwiches they offer, but here are some other interesting things you should know about Jimmy John\u2019s.\n\nJimmy John Liautaud Was Not The Brightest Student\n\nAs we all expect, restaurant owners usually graduate on the top of their class, go to a culinary school and hone their skills before launching a business. However, this was not the case with Jimmy John\u2019s founder. He graduated from high school on second last.\n\nAdditionally, all of those bright owners are proud of becoming corporate owned, Jimmy John\u2019s is mostly franchise owned and not corporate owned.\n\nThey Stopped Using Yellow Mustard\n\nThe sandwich chain does not use yellow mustard anymore. The only reason why they dropped it out of their menu is backseat it is not fast to work with, and slows down the meal preparation process. Jimmy John\u2019s, on the other hand, is all about fast delivery, so they stopped using yellow mustard.\n\nHowever, if you must have yellow mustard in your sandwich, they can provide you with separate packets that you can use. For the same reason, they use only one type of cheese in their products.\n\nNo Sprouts\n\nJimmy John\u2019s used to offer optional topping of sprouts on top of their products, but they had to stop doing this because of the various illnesses caused by eating raw sprouts. But they kept growing sprouts in the past two years.\n\nThey are currently operating in 47 states, so, there is always a JJ\u2019s within your arm\u2019s reach.\n\ntree trimming services in my area\n\nMistakes to Avoid When Hiring a Tree Service\n\nPeople hire tree services to get many tasks done. Hiring one for some work in your property can be a big decision.\n\nHiring the wrong service provider can do more damage to your property that it can help. So, here are the mistakes that you will need to avoid when hiring tree services in Madera CA.\n\nHiring a Novice Company\n\nIt is true that every company has it\u2019s starting point, but tree service is a risky task, and you should not take this risk. You should only hire the tree service companies who have been providing their services in the industry for a long time, preferably for over 10 years.\n\nIf possible, you should contact and hire the oldest tree service provider in your area. That is because they always know the nitty-gritties for working in your area, and can do the job perfectly.\n\nNot Checking The Insurance\n\nBefore hiring a tree service, especially for tree removal, you must check the insurance they have to cover any damage that might be caused to your property during their work. So ask for the proof of insurance before hiring a company to work in your premises.\n\nIf you hire a company that does not have insurance, you will have to cover any damage caused to your property by their work. Also, you will have to bear the medical bills of their employees if anyone gets injured during work.\n\nSkipping The References\n\nTo check the build claims of tree service providers, you can ask them to provide you with references and you can check them on your own to make sure you will like the quality of their service.\n\nThis is how you can hire a good tree service company providing services \u00a0in your locality.\n\naccountant jobs\n\nWhy Profit & Loss Statements Matter\n\nA common practice in the world of business when it comes to accounting is to just have an account that deals with all of the money that the business is earning and spending and then calling it a day. While this is a good first step, if you want to learn from people like The ACT Group you need to bear in mind that profit and loss statements matter as well. If you just have a bank account that is used for business transactions and you get a statement from this, you would see how much money has gone in and out but you won\u2019t know how to figure out looking into whether or not you earned a profit or sustained a loss.\n\nWith all of that having been said and out of the way, it is important to note that if you were to make profit and loss statements then problems like this would no longer end up happening. Most of the time you wouldn\u2019t really have all that many potential benefits to avoiding making these apart from saving a little bit of time that really won\u2019t make all that much of a difference.\n\nAn accountant hired for the specific purpose of drawing up these statements would be a good investment. Even if you have sustained a loss your business can keep going, but in a situation like this it becomes even more important to get an idea of how significant of a loss this was as well as how likely it would be that your company can survive. Paperwork like this is so important, and a common reason why so many small businesses fail is due to the reason that they don\u2019t pay attention to this.\n\nsocial media strategy example\n\nWhy Social Media is a Great Tool to Make Money For Students\n\nI still remember the days when I was new to the social media and that time, the only thing I thought was that the entirety of social media is there to just talk to people or meet new people.

This should clear out a lot of confusion for people who are still not sure.\n\nThey Have The Right Experience\n\nThe reason why we are suggesting that you should go to a professional translation company is that they are going to bring the right experience. Again, not something that is hard to find but it is better that you are trusting companies who have been doing this work. An experienced company is always going to be better in every regard and should serve you in the right way, as well.\n\nThey Are Going to Save a Good Amount of Time\n\nTranslating on your own can be a very time-consuming process and we bear witness to that. The right thing would be to just hire these professionals and you will have the guarantee that nothing is going to go wrong. I know it might be a bit difficult to trust these companies but it should not be a difficult ordeal for anyone involved. It is a simple and straightforward process that all of us need to know about whenever we are going for it.

A PC uses several types of memory in its system. Pocket PC's and media player's are basically miniature computers. If you're more interested in what kind of Flash Memory card you need for your digital camera or cell phone, check out Flash Memory. However, if you are interested in reading about the various roles of memory used in a PC, continue reading the next section.\n\nThe Many Roles of Memory on a Computer\n\n \u2022 The first place that memory becomes apparent on your computer is when you first power it up. The first thing to wake up when a computer is powered on is a ROM (Read Only Memory) called the CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor), pronounced See-Moss. CMOS is the name of the chip that stores software called BIOS (Basic Input/Output System), pronounced bye-ohs.\n \u2022 BIOS performs POST (power on self test). This is how the computer checks to see that it has its vitals so it can be a computer. It would be like you waking up in the morning and before you get out of bed, ensuring you have the things required: Pulse? Check. Brain? Check. Feet? Check. Gotta pee? Check!\n \u2022 The ROM is a form of Flash memory. It can retain the BIOS program without power. This is why it's the very first thing you get on a computer when it's powered on. The BIOS however is very slow compared to other forms of memory, but for its purpose it doesn't need a terrible amount of speed.\n \u2022 The BIOS informs the system it has hard drives (disc storage) from which to read an operating system (OS). Disc storage is our second form of memory, but this is properly referred to as storage because it's non-electronic memory.\n \u2022 While the OS loads our next form of memory is used, RAM. In modern computers you're probably using the latest RAM . SDR SDRAM or dual channel SDR SDRAM also called SDR2 SDRAM. These acronyms stand for Single Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory, but it's just RAM. Basically, the letters that appear before RAM in the complete acronym just means very, very fast RAM.\n \u2022 Since the computer is turned on there is power to all circuits. This means that system RAM can operate quickly and CPU, which is the fast, powerful brain, can utilize a pool of data that operates as quickly as it does. Modern RAM (SDR SDRAM) synchronizes with the CPU system clock allowing it to communicate with the CPU at an incredibly high rate of speed. In this capacity, memory is a temporary data storage area for the CPU. For example, it's like a mathematician doing complex equations with a chalk board. The chalk board is the memory the mathematician is the CPU.\n\nKey terms in our discussion on the types and roles of memory include:\n\n \u2022 Storage: Storage primarily reserved for hard drives, but as you've seen even hard drives are a form of RAM because data can be read from it from at random. But it isn't true memory. Most flash memory is actually storage for mobile devices.\n \u2022 ROM: ROM is read only memory. Generally the ROM was a chip with a hard coded piece of software placed into it. It could never be erased or updated, hence \"read only.\" However, with modern technology it's as easy to make flash memory as it is a true ROM, so most ROM today is really flash, so it can be rewritten or \"flashed\".\n \u2022 CMOS: The CMOS holds a low level PC program called BIOS, which isn't erased when the computer is powered down. The BIOS gives the CMOS a simple job called POST. The BIOS can be revised to a new version depending on the needs of the manufacturer of your computer's mother board. This revision to the BIOS software in the CMOS is called a flash. This takes us full circle in our understanding of how flash memory works.\n \u2022 RAM: Electronic memory that requires power at all times. It's very fast so it can help the CPU perform complex jobs much faster than Flash memory.\n\nWe could continue our focus on computer's system memory or system RAM and write volumes, but that's not our focus. Instead, we'll shift gears and delve deeper into flash memory and its many, in fact too many, varieties. The PC's use of its variety of memory was a good starting point to get familiar with the various types of memory.<|endoftext|>Tuesday, December 30, 2014\n\n\n\u00a0This is the sixth Christmas I've done as a parent.

Got ready and went out with my mother. Went to One Utama to buy a few things for her usage and also some groceries. I bought myself two packets of Strepsils to calm my cough down. I was coughing like my throat was about to burst out. Thank god those sweets worked.\n\nAfterwards, went to Giant in USJ 1 to buy some groceries for the house like rice, eggs, vegetables, fish, chicken and etc. Got what we needed and went back home. Took shower again as the day was damn hot and I was sweating like nobody's business and this time the destination was Aizu's house. Purpose? Fifa 2009. Revenge for yesterday's humiliation was my main aim but to my disappointment, I got fucked. My performance today was catastrophically worst than yesterday. Beaten like sambal belacan.\n\nAfter that, we went to have a drink with our friend Yum. Chatted about everything from aaauuufff aaauuufff (to those who know what this means), sports, jobs, politics and etc. As the discussion was getting more and more exciting, the rain poured down. Luckily we sat ourselves inside the restaurant. After about an hour, hit back home. Had dinner and glued myself in front of the television watching the food channel. One of my favourite channels apart from Star Sports, ESPN, AXN, Discovery Channel and National Geographic.\n\n\nNote: Aaaauuufff Aaauuufff Aaauuufff.\n\nHighschool Rocker.\n\nNow, some of you might wonder about the title of this particular post. Highschool Rocker? It's a song by our very own local band named Bunkface. What in the world is this stupid guy talking about you might ask? Well people, I'm going to talk about our growing music industry. Not in the sense of the mainstream music since the mainstream music will always have the upper hand compared to the underground music scene.\n\nLet me start off by describing the previous state of our local music industry. Personally, I think after independence, our preference had always been towards the ones already 'made it' into the limelight. I'm not saying that it's bad because as long as the music industry keeps on growing, more and more new talents will shine. But we tend to ignore or don't give a damn about the ones who's trying hard to let themselves known through the hard way which is the do it yourself way. Making music out of their own pocket and marketing it themselves just for the sake of letting themselves known in the music industry.\n\nWe usually would prefer the ones which is being aired in various television stations, radios, featured in magazines and etc. The best example for this would be all of the Indonesian bands. Their existence in our music industry is strong because almost all of their bands, be whatever names they decided to name themselves, will eventually have their songs aired in our local radios and televisions.\n\nI can still remember during my time in high school, bands such as Nakedbreed and Damn Dirty Apes was gaining popularity. I even went to a few of their concerts for god sake and they sounded great. For me personally, this is the starting point of our music revolution. Slowly people are accepting the existence of our very own local grown bands. Youngsters are now harder to be brainwashed or convinced to accept the mainstream songs and artists.\n\nThanks to years of constant exposure of our very own local bands, nowadays, more and more local bands are gaining public attention. Hence, creating their very own fan base.\n\n\nNote: KoRn - Make Me Bad.\n\nWednesday, January 14, 2009\n\n\nMy day started with the alarm ringing at 11.30am. Hesitated to wake up but as I had already planned to do some stuffs today, I forced myself to open up my eyes wide open. Quickly went into the bathroom and washed my face to prevent myself from falling asleep. Took my shower and got ready. Get out of the house and first destination, the tailor. Fetched my slacks trousers that I sent yesterday. Alteration was needed as the slacks was too long and it would wipe the floor clean if I didn't alter it. Forgot to mention that this is for my office attire. Preparation for the coming 9 to 5. Bought a few formal shirts and slacks yesterday.\n\nNext destination was Aizu's house. Picked him up and our friend Yum and hit the road to Shah Alam to get the tickets for this Saturday's Butterfingers and Bunkface show in Istana Budaya. Afraid of getting lost, I called the agency selling the tickets to inquire their location and the lady informed me that they were located in the Plaza Alam Sentral, Shah Alam. I wasn't able to recall of the location but thank god Yum knew the exact place. Reached the place around 1.30pm and bought 3 tickets for me, Aizu and Afzar.\n\nNext, Sunway Pyramid. Assigned by my mother to buy a few things for her. Once we reached the place, our stomachs showed its ability to dictate our movements. Went to Wendy's and had our lunch. After that, bought the things ordered and hit the road. Next destination, Summit, to check on Aizu's Xbox 360 console to see whether it was ready to be retrieved since he sent it there last month because of some problems.

Got ready and went out with my mother. Went to One Utama to buy a few things for her usage and also some groceries. I bought myself two packets of Strepsils to calm my cough down. I was coughing like my throat was about to burst out. Thank god those sweets worked.\n\nAfterwards, went to Giant in USJ 1 to buy some groceries for the house like rice, eggs, vegetables, fish, chicken and etc. Got what we needed and went back home. Took shower again as the day was damn hot and I was sweating like nobody's business and this time the destination was Aizu's house. Purpose? Fifa 2009. Revenge for yesterday's humiliation was my main aim but to my disappointment, I got fucked. My performance today was catastrophically worst than yesterday. Beaten like sambal belacan.\n\nAfter that, we went to have a drink with our friend Yum. Chatted about everything from aaauuufff aaauuufff (to those who know what this means), sports, jobs, politics and etc. As the discussion was getting more and more exciting, the rain poured down. Luckily we sat ourselves inside the restaurant. After about an hour, hit back home. Had dinner and glued myself in front of the television watching the food channel. One of my favourite channels apart from Star Sports, ESPN, AXN, Discovery Channel and National Geographic.\n\n\nNote: Aaaauuufff Aaauuufff Aaauuufff.\n\nHighschool Rocker.\n\nNow, some of you might wonder about the title of this particular post. Highschool Rocker? It's a song by our very own local band named Bunkface. What in the world is this stupid guy talking about you might ask? Well people, I'm going to talk about our growing music industry. Not in the sense of the mainstream music since the mainstream music will always have the upper hand compared to the underground music scene.\n\nLet me start off by describing the previous state of our local music industry. Personally, I think after independence, our preference had always been towards the ones already 'made it' into the limelight. I'm not saying that it's bad because as long as the music industry keeps on growing, more and more new talents will shine. But we tend to ignore or don't give a damn about the ones who's trying hard to let themselves known through the hard way which is the do it yourself way. Making music out of their own pocket and marketing it themselves just for the sake of letting themselves known in the music industry.\n\nWe usually would prefer the ones which is being aired in various television stations, radios, featured in magazines and etc. The best example for this would be all of the Indonesian bands. Their existence in our music industry is strong because almost all of their bands, be whatever names they decided to name themselves, will eventually have their songs aired in our local radios and televisions.\n\nI can still remember during my time in high school, bands such as Nakedbreed and Damn Dirty Apes was gaining popularity. I even went to a few of their concerts for god sake and they sounded great. For me personally, this is the starting point of our music revolution. Slowly people are accepting the existence of our very own local grown bands. Youngsters are now harder to be brainwashed or convinced to accept the mainstream songs and artists.\n\nThanks to years of constant exposure of our very own local bands, nowadays, more and more local bands are gaining public attention. Hence, creating their very own fan base.\n\n\nNote: KoRn - Make Me Bad.\n\nWednesday, January 14, 2009\n\n\nMy day started with the alarm ringing at 11.30am. Hesitated to wake up but as I had already planned to do some stuffs today, I forced myself to open up my eyes wide open. Quickly went into the bathroom and washed my face to prevent myself from falling asleep. Took my shower and got ready. Get out of the house and first destination, the tailor. Fetched my slacks trousers that I sent yesterday. Alteration was needed as the slacks was too long and it would wipe the floor clean if I didn't alter it. Forgot to mention that this is for my office attire. Preparation for the coming 9 to 5. Bought a few formal shirts and slacks yesterday.\n\nNext destination was Aizu's house. Picked him up and our friend Yum and hit the road to Shah Alam to get the tickets for this Saturday's Butterfingers and Bunkface show in Istana Budaya. Afraid of getting lost, I called the agency selling the tickets to inquire their location and the lady informed me that they were located in the Plaza Alam Sentral, Shah Alam. I wasn't able to recall of the location but thank god Yum knew the exact place. Reached the place around 1.30pm and bought 3 tickets for me, Aizu and Afzar.\n\nNext, Sunway Pyramid. Assigned by my mother to buy a few things for her. Once we reached the place, our stomachs showed its ability to dictate our movements. Went to Wendy's and had our lunch. After that, bought the things ordered and hit the road. Next destination, Summit, to check on Aizu's Xbox 360 console to see whether it was ready to be retrieved since he sent it there last month because of some problems. And joy lighten up our faces as the shop assistant informed us that it was in fact ready. Immediately after that we dropped off Yum and went to Aizu's house to settle some unfinished business. Yes, Fifa 2009. Won the first game but lost the next 3 after that. Tomorrow, revenge.\n\nFeeling tired, I went back home and had my dinner. Took my cough medication and it was so strong that I almost fell asleep.\n\nThat's how my day went. Good friends that brighten up my day.\n\n\nNote: 50 Cent - Get Up.\n\nJust For Laughs.\n\nFrom Ainne's tag in her blog...\n\nInstructions.

For\nno very good reason, three of these principles have been singled out by\ntradition under the name of 'Laws of Thought'.\n\nThey are as follows:\n\n(1) _The law of identity_: 'Whatever is, is.'\n\n(2) _The law of contradiction_: 'Nothing can both be and not be.'\n\n(3) _The law of excluded middle_: 'Everything must either be or not be.'\n\nThese three laws are samples of self-evident logical principles, but\nare not really more fundamental or more self-evident than various other\nsimilar principles: for instance, the one we considered just now, which\nstates that what follows from a true premiss is true. The name 'laws of\nthought' is also misleading, for what is important is not the fact that\nwe think in accordance with these laws, but the fact that things behave\nin accordance with them; in other words, the fact that when we think in\naccordance with them we think<|endoftext|>Get a snapshot of the state of your entire gut with these simple DIY home tests\n\nMuch of our health and wellbeing relies on the ability of the gut to digest what we eat and absorb all its goodness.\n\nMany people suffer with digestive issues such as bloating and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), food intolerances or discomfort after eating. Your body needs a constant source of fuel in the form of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals, and understanding how the gut works, testing its efficiency and then righting any imbalances can often be the key to feeling well and energized.\n\nTake these tests\u2014most of which you can do at home\u2014to get an instant snapshot of the state of your digestion and follow these practices to improve every aspect of your gut health.\n\nYour stomach: the food processor\n\nThe stomach, which sits in the upper left area of your tummy, is your food processor. It can hold around 1.5 quarts of food and drink, and it takes about seven seconds for that food to get from your mouth\u00a0to your stomach and about four hours for a moderate meal to be processed.\n\nYour stomach does this by secreting hydrochloric acid (HCL) and peptic enzymes to digest proteins, break up fiber and soften any connective tissue in foods, killing off any bugs or parasites in the process, before delivering it to the small intestine.\n\nMany stomach issues, such as heartburn and indigestion, arise from eating too quickly and can be resolved by simply slowing down at mealtimes and taking care to chew each morsel 20 times before swallowing, allowing your saliva to start breaking down the food long before it hits your stomach.\n\nIf, however, you\u2019re still having the same issues after eating, then it might be time to test your HCL levels. Once you have the answer, then it\u2019s always a good idea to consult your doctor for further advice and to rule out more serious issues.\n\n\nWe have around 3,000 different varieties of enzymes in our body, which are involved in vast numbers of metabolic processes and functions, including helping you to digest food, repair and renew, as well as keep your immune system strong. As we age, our levels of digestive enzymes decrease, so a 70-year-old has half the amount of a 20-year-old.\n\nEnzymes are found naturally in raw or fermented foods, but they\u2019re destroyed by cooking. Much of what we eat is cooked or processed, so most of our food nowadays is almost entirely lacking in enzymes.\n\nLow enzyme levels make you age faster and put on weight, and they\u2019re also linked to chronic diseases, such as obesity, heart disease and certain forms of cancer.\n\nEnzyme aids\n\nHere are the enzyme aids that help digestion:\n\nNatural enzymes. Found in raw organic foods, especially fruits and vegetables, but also unpasteurized\u00a0milk, egg yolks, sauerkraut and kimchi. Natural enzymes are good\u00a0for the immune system, joints and arteries.\n\nDigestive enzymes. Found mainly in your gut, digestive enzymes help minimize indigestion, acid reflux, bloating and gas.There are three main classes of digestive enzymes in the body:\n\n \u2022 Amylases,\u00a0which break down carbohydrates\n \u2022 Lipases,which break down fats\n \u2022 Proteases,which break down proteins.\n\nAll three types of digestive enzymes are produced in the pancreas and found naturally in raw fruits and vegetables, sprouted seeds, raw nuts, whole grains and legumes. Most supplements will contain these three plus a combination of additional supporting enzymes.\n\n\n\nHome Test: The lemon juice test\n\nAcid reflux and heartburn are more often a result of too little stomach acid (HCL) than too much.2\n\nIf this is something you suffer from, the next time you have", "base_doc": ") in reference to the capsules of the plant in fruit. The first collection of Synthyris was made on the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1806 in Idaho. I'm happy to have my one plant in the collection, but it is something that we have never decided to propagate.\n\nMuhlenbergia capillaris 'Alba'\n\nMuhlenbergia capillaris is the \u201cMuhlygrass,\u201d an ornamental grass in the Poaceae family. Normally the flowers are pink to pinkish-red, but the cultivar 'Alba' displays white autumn flowers. The grass is native to western and central USA and is considered easy to grow and is known to tolerate drought and air pollution. I love it for its airy flower-cloud which lasts for a couple of months. The generic name honors Gotthilf Muhlenberg (1753-1815) who was a Lutheran pastor and amateur botanist. How interesting that \u201cmen of the cloth\u201d often turn to plant collecting and/or botany. Are they bored with their celestial pursuits \u2013 some missionaries never convert even one soul \u2013 or do they feel compelled to elucidate and celebrate the wondrous works of God through nature? In any case it would indicate that they have \u201ctime on their hands,\u201d but what better way to spend that time? I don't really know what it's with me, that I find myself collecting the rare white-form of Synthyris and then also the white-flowered form of Muhlenbergia instead of the normal pink? White is pure, purity...I guess.\n\nPleione formosana 'Alba'\n\nLet's continue the white fun with Pleione formosana 'Alba'; it would be completely white except for a subtle yellow in the throat, but that color element actually serves to add to the pure whiteness of the other 95% of the blossom. We should back up to discuss the Pleione genus, a terrestrial \u2013 but sometimes epiphytic \u2013 group of orchids from Asia. The naming and classification of Pleione species is always in flux because new species are being discovered and DNA studies contribute to a rearrangement. Kew Garden's website claims that there are currently 21 species and 5 natural hybrids, with P. formosana being one of the 21 natural species. P. formosana is native to southeastern China as well as in Taiwan \u2013 the country formerly known as Formosa. It should be considered as a deciduous perennial and the specific name is derived from Latin for \u201cbeautiful.\u201d\n\nBuchholz Nursery's reputation was built on offering Japanese maples and grafted conifers, and now, 38 years later, we find ourselves as purveyors of hardy orchids. It keeps the nursery fresh, and as I've said before, I know of no other wholesale nursery where a customer can have so much fun.\n\n\n 1. Best blog yet. I really enjoyed skimming thru this one and looking for time this week to read it all. We grow unusual plants here in South Florida but completely different than what can be grown in more temperate climates. It will be a shame if the next generations loose all this \"unusual horticulture\" if we do not get more gardening enthusiasts.\n\n 2. Wow - I am so glad that I found your blog!!!

Petrie was based on Carl Reiner, who created the show as a fictitious account of his own experiences writing for a comedy TV show.\n\n\nWhat was Laura's favorite food?\n\nWhether it's because writers really like moo goo gai pan or because it sounds kind of funny, this Cantonese stirfry dish actually shows up in a lot of comedies back in the day, but it was also Laura's favorite dish in any case.\n\n\nRob goes under anesthesia at the dentist and dreams that he's where?\n\nRob's dream takes him to a Wild West town in the episode entitled \"The Gunslinger.\" In his dream town, he's the sheriff and, of course, his family and friends are there. He also has to take on the villainous \"Big Bad Brady.\"\n\n\nThe show explains how Rob and Laura met. How did it happen?\n\nThe show explains that Laura and Rob met back in the day when Rob was a soldier in the army. Laura was a dancer with the USO, and during a dance number, Rob inadvertently broke her foot.\n\n\nAlan actually fires one of the crew in season five, but then quickly hires them back. Who was it?\n\nAlan tears into Mel in this episode, basically humiliating him verbally, so Rob encourages him not to let it happen again by standing up to Alan. The result is Mel getting fired. On the upside, Alan soon realizes he needs Mel and then hires him back.\n\n\nIn one episode of the show, Rob and Laura accidentally buy an ugly painting. Who turns out to be the artist?\n\nThe ugly painting that Rob and Laure accidentally bid on and then win at the auction is signed by an artist named \"Artanis.\" The name is, of course, a pseudonym and is actually Sinatra backward.\n\n\nWhat was significant about the episode \"Happy Birthday and Too Many More?\"\n\nThe episode \"Happy Birthday and Too Many More\" was filmed in November of 1963. That was shortly after President Kennedy was assassinated. The cast and crew chose to film without an audience since it was unlikely anyone was in the mood to laugh.\n\n\nWhat Broadway musical did Dick Van Dyke quit to take the job on the \"The Dick Van Dyke Show?\"\n\nDick Van Dy", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 121064, "pt_loc": 163381827, "pt_shuffle_idx": 64715262, "doc_index_f": 101455568, "doc_index_l": 101455571, "offset_f": 13230, "offset_l": 887, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 255, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2, 568, 591, 888]} +{"pt_doc": "(_voice coming up_) Dear--dear, why do they make such\ntwisting steps.\n\nHARRY: Take your time, most up now.

However, our in-vivo this website data suggest that acute GVHD was clearly suppressed, clinically and pathologically, by oral AZM (Figs\u20091 and 2). It is tempting to speculate that AZM-treated DCs may be related functionally to regulatory DCs, not only in vitro but also in vivo, and might induce Treg in an allogeneic BMT setting. We are also interested in testing whether injection of AZM-treated DCs to recipients following allogeneic BMT could attenuate acute GVHD, as observed with regulatory DCs [38]. However, it might be difficult to develop and expand these DCs ex vivo. Simply administering AZM orally to recipients would be much more practical from the clinical viewpoint. Next, we confirmed the effects of AZM on donor lymphocytes. Tomazic et\u2009al. [44] reported that the absence of impairment of T and B lymphocytes by AZM might be an important property of this drug, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Our data for C57BL/6 murine lymphocytes are compatible with their results (Fig.\u20093). The fact that AZM has no deleterious effects on T lymphocyte functions in this setting\n\nis important for preservation of the graft-versus-leukaemia (GVL) effect of AZM therapy. Conversely, commonly used immunosuppressants such as tacrolimus (a 23-membered ring-macrolide) and cyclosporin inhibit T lymphocyte functions strongly by blocking the phosphatase activity of calcineurin, resulting in susceptibility to infections and a Cabozantinib price decreased GVL effect. Moreover, potential concerns for the use of these calcineurin inhibitors include renal toxicity, veno-occlusive disease of the liver, hypertension, hyperglycaemia and neurological side effects [45]. In contrast, AZM has been used safely worldwide as an antibiotic. Nevertheless, AZM is not without its own safety issues: reversible hearing\n\nloss with high doses (600\u2009mg daily for 1\u00b75\u201320 weeks) [46] and long-term treatment (600\u2009mg once weekly for 1 year) [47] and cardiovascular effects; specifically, prolongation of the QT interval that leads to torsades de pointes, an abnormal heart rhythm that can be fatal [48]. In addition to the immunoregulatory effects of AZM, its anti-microbial find more effect may also be important in BMT as bacteria and bacterial products, especially LPS, are associated with exacerbation of GVHD [49, 50]. In the clinical setting, Gram-negative gut decontamination has actually been found to reduce the incidence of GVHD [51-53]. Interestingly, some investigators reported that changes in the microbial flora, due to intestinal inflammation caused by TBI as preconditioning for murine recipients of allogeneic BMT, influenced the severity of acute GVHD, and that manipulation of the intestinal flora enabled regulation of acute GVHD [53, 54].\n\nAfter washing, 5\u2009\u00d7\u2009104\u20131\u2009\u00d7\u2009105 NK\u2009T cell hybridomas were cultured\n\nAfter washing, 5\u2009\u00d7\u2009104\u20131\u2009\u00d7\u2009105 NK\u2009T cell hybridomas were cultured in the plate for 16\u201320\u2009h, and IL-2 in the supernatant was measured by ELISA (BD PharMingen, San Diego, CA, USA).

Numerous opportunities and methods to evaluate the students is far more effective. It also gives both them and you a chance to see how they are progressing while being less likely to kill the students\u2019 motivation and interest in the class or subject. While exams or quizzes are appropriate for some classes, I keep them at no more than 40% of the total grade and use journals, presentations, interviews, portfolios as well as participation and homework grades to adjust the work and focus to the particular class and skills being taught and assessed.\n\n\n \u2022 \u00a0Get input whenever and however you can.\n\nOur school collects student evaluations once, which we see two months after the class has ended. This is a common experience, so it behooves a good teacher to get input at least a few times each term. This can be done informally when talking to students or by asking a class questions. What has worked for me is doing my own class evaluations around midterms and before finals. I have also had students fill in needs assessments at the start of term. Based on the these, I know a bit about what my students as individuals expect from my classes. The anonymous class feedback form allows me to see what they like, what they would change or remove and what they would add to their class. As I get this feedback at midterms, I can retool classes during the second half and it makes it less likely they will vent their unhappiness on the school-wide evaluations as well in my experience.\n\n\n \u2022 \u00a0Be as transparent as you can be but\u2026.\n\nI make it a policy to hand back all homework and tests as quickly as I can so that the students know exactly where they stand grade wise. I also have a detailed course outline with grading breakdown, rules, etc. Finally, each assignment has an instructions sheet and I make samples of previous students\u2019 work available to students at least once in class and by appointment in my office. It is their choice whether to take advantage of those opportunities or not but they also have no reason to say that my grading is unfair or that they \u2018did not know\u2019 they had earned a C instead of the A+ they were hoping for. As grade negotiation and inflation are common here, it is simply common sense to cover all bases in as many ways as possible.\n\n\nWhile these tips are based on my experience as a Professor and teacher in one part of the world, I believe they are still pertinent to other teachers in other environments and at various stages of their careers.<|endoftext|>I could entertain no hopes of being received by him, especially since\nI was too certain of all the good offices in the power of my mother;\nnay, had my father's pardon been as sure, as I conceived his\nresentment to be, I yet question whether I could have had the\nassurance to behold him, or whether I could, upon any terms, have\nsubmitted to live and converse with those who, I was convinced, knew\nme to have been guilty of so base an action.\n\n\"I hastened therefore back to London, the best retirement of either\ngrief or shame, unless for persons of a very public character; for\nhere you have the advantage of solitude without its disadvantage,\nsince you may be alone and in company at the same time; and while you\nwalk or sit unobserved, noise, hurry, and a constant succession of\nobjects, entertain the mind, and prevent the spirits from preying on\nthemselves, or rather on grief or shame, which are the most\nunwholesome diet in the world; and on which (though there are many who\nnever taste<|endoftext|>Wednesday, July 22, 2009\n\nLos Cabos: Day 3 + 4\n\nOn Monday, instead of our morning pool visit, we decided to take the 30 minute walk east to a swimmable beach. The beach that the resort sat on almost always had rough waters and high waves (we could hear the waves all the way up in our room) so we packed up some snacks and water and hauled ourselves through the course sand to a beach where we could go in the water.\nMorgan loved the water...and got mad when the waves went away. It was a tiring walk, but I'm glad we could get Morgan in the salt water. It sure did poop her out too and fell asleep in my arms on the way back to the resort.After lunch it was back to the pool and our water baby was running around everywhere. While following the stone border along the pool edge and waving to some guests, she fell in the pool! No worries though, I was about 2 feet behind her and jumped in and swooped her up. The people around us gasped and I was expecting her to cry out of shock, but she didn't make a peep. Crazy girl! I set her down to walk back to our chairs and she was a little dizzy, but completely fine.\n\nFor dinner, we went to Himitsa for some Asian cuisine. Our entrees were good, but the desserts were fab. You've heard of fried ice cream, right? Well Mark had tempura ice cream. Oh my, I was drooling! And totally jealous that I didn't get the same thing.\n\nOn Tuesday the bride and groom arrived, as well as the rest of their wedding guests. Before lunch, Mark played against some other guests and the entertainment staff in a ping pong tournament and kicked their butts! Woohoo! Once everyone got settled, we met them at the pool for drinks - Kristin and Troy, our parents (missing below), Troy's mom and step-dad, Val and Derek, Erin and Bryan and Kelly and Ian.A bunch of us had dinner together that night and geared up for the big wedding day eve activities the next day. Here are a few more pics from these two days:\nThere was a shallow (think bath tub water depth) section in the pool that was perfect for Morgan to sit in and splash us.\nThis girl is crazy about shoes, her own and everyone else's. If she wasn't chasing after a random ball sitting on the pool deck, she was trying to snatch other people's sandals. Here she is helping daddy put his on (and take them off, and put them on...).\nThere was a small pond outside our suite that we passed each time we went down to the pool that was the home for 8-10 turtles. Morgan would have loved to jump in after them.\n\nTomorrow: Days 5 + 6\n\n\n 1. Sweet pictures can't wait to see days 5 & 6. That would be the bride right?\n\n 2. great pix!

Remember, naysayers, it's not that you need widescreen for the road ahead, you need it for extra info, and you need it because it fits on the windshield better.\n\nTime till arrival, distance till arrival and estimated time of arrival still all scroll through to the right of the \"upcoming turn\" text. I would prefer that I could pick one (I'm an ETA man\u2014though not the Basque nationalist kind), but you can't do that, yet.\n\nThe interface has a nice menu system that shows more priority to things I really use, and buries things like Compass and iPod where they need to be, on the periphery of my awareness. The only thing I'm missing still is the ability to navigate to a point on the map. That may be a trick, but one worth pulling off. There isn't a lot of custom routing options in there yet, but if you really care about prioritization of stops, you should buy something more elaborate anyway\u2014perhaps a portable GPS unit.\n\n\n\nAs you can see, even in portrait mode, the menus are cleaner:\n\nAll in all, it's a palpable improvement for a worthwhile product, especially one so durned cheap.

It was my trying to be frugal (getting all of my students a few candies got expensive when I taught 100+ students) but also to be consistent and fair (students would always talk and if one class got candy and another got chocolates, some might complain). Nowadays, I do give a few opportunities to get bonus points by volunteering at a conference (Presentations and Job Skills classes) or for writing something in English for the campus news magazine (writing class portfolios), though I also take points off for rules infractions, so it is rarely a problem. I have had a few students who got over 100% as a final grade.\n\n\n \u2022 Suit the evaluations to the course and objectives.\n\nThe traditional mode of having only two exams to assess what students know and do not know is something that should have gone the way of the Dodo in my opinion. Numerous opportunities and methods to evaluate the students is far more effective. It also gives both them and you a chance to see how they are progressing while being less likely to kill the students\u2019 motivation and interest in the class or subject. While exams or quizzes are appropriate for some classes, I keep them at no more than 40% of the total grade and use journals, presentations, interviews, portfolios as well as participation and homework grades to adjust the work and focus to the particular class and skills being taught and assessed.\n\n\n \u2022 \u00a0Get input whenever and however you can.\n\nOur school collects student evaluations once, which we see two months after the class has ended. This is a common experience, so it behooves a good teacher to get input at least a few times each term. This can be done informally when talking to students or by asking a class questions. What has worked for me is doing my own class evaluations around midterms and before finals. I have also had students fill in needs assessments at the start of term. Based on the these, I know a bit about what my students as individuals expect from my classes. The anonymous class feedback form allows me to see what they like, what they would change or remove and what they would add to their class. As I get this feedback at midterms, I can retool classes during the second half and it makes it less likely they will vent their unhappiness on the school-wide evaluations as well in my experience.\n\n\n \u2022 \u00a0Be as transparent as you can be but\u2026.\n\nI make it a policy to hand back all homework and tests as quickly as I can so that the students know exactly where they stand grade wise. I also have a detailed course outline with grading breakdown, rules, etc. Finally, each assignment has an instructions sheet and I make samples of previous students\u2019 work available to students at least once in class and by appointment in my office. It is their choice whether to take advantage of those opportunities or not but they also have no reason to say that my grading is unfair or that they \u2018did not know\u2019 they had earned a C instead of the A+ they were hoping for. As grade negotiation and inflation are common here, it is simply common sense to cover all bases in as many ways as possible.\n\n\nWhile these tips are based on my experience as a Professor and teacher in one part of the world, I believe they are still pertinent to other teachers in other environments and at various stages of their careers.<|endoftext|>Wednesday, July 22, 2009\n\nLos Cabos: Day 3 + 4\n\nOn Monday, instead of our morning pool visit, we decided to take the 30 minute walk east to a swimmable beach. The beach that the resort sat on almost always had rough waters and high waves (we could hear the waves all the way up in our room) so we packed up some snacks and water and hauled ourselves through the course sand to a beach where we could go in the water.\nMorgan loved the water...and got mad when the waves went away. It was a tiring walk, but I'm glad we could get Morgan in the salt water. It sure did poop her out too and fell asleep in my arms on the way back to the resort.After lunch it was back to the pool and our water baby was running around everywhere. While following the stone border along the pool edge and waving to some guests, she fell in the pool! No worries though, I was about 2 feet behind her and jumped in and swooped her up. The people around us gasped and I was expecting her to cry out of shock, but she didn't make a peep. Crazy girl! I set her down to walk back to our chairs and she was a little dizzy, but completely fine.\n\nFor dinner, we went to Himitsa for some Asian cuisine. Our entrees were good, but the desserts were fab. You've heard of fried ice cream, right? Well Mark had tempura ice cream. Oh my, I was drooling! And totally jealous that I didn't get the same thing.\n\nOn Tuesday the bride and groom arrived, as well as the rest of their wedding guests. Before lunch, Mark played against some other guests and the entertainment staff in a ping pong tournament and kicked their butts! Woohoo! Once everyone got settled, we met them at the pool for drinks - Kristin and Troy, our parents (missing below), Troy's mom and step-dad, Val and Derek, Erin and Bryan and Kelly and Ian.A bunch of us had dinner together that night and geared up for the big wedding day eve activities the next day. Here are a few more pics from these two days:\nThere was a shallow (think bath tub water depth) section in the pool that was perfect for Morgan to sit in and splash us.\nThis girl is crazy about shoes, her own and everyone else's. If she wasn't chasing after a random ball sitting on the pool deck, she was trying to snatch other people's sandals. Here she is helping daddy put his on (and take them off, and put them on...).\nThere was a small pond outside our suite that we passed each time we went down to the pool that was the home for 8-10 turtles. Morgan would have loved to jump in after them.\n\nTomorrow: Days 5 + 6\n\n\n 1. Sweet pictures can't wait to see days 5 & 6. That would be the bride right?\n\n 2. great pix! Can't wait to see more!<|endoftext|>When I reviewed MotionX GPS Drive for iPhone, I said it offered the best value but had some UI issues. Newly redesigned, the app's 3.0 version is far better\u2014with landscape view and a more logical user interface.\n\nYes, the landscape mode I was lamenting its lack of in the last edition is there, and it looks great. As you can see, even pulling up iPod controls doesn't hog the screen. Remember, naysayers, it's not that you need widescreen for the road ahead, you need it for extra info, and you need it because it fits on the windshield better.\n\nTime till arrival, distance till arrival and estimated time of arrival still all scroll through to the right of the \"upcoming turn\" text. I would prefer that I could pick one (I'm an ETA man\u2014though not the Basque nationalist kind), but you can't do that, yet.\n\nThe interface has a nice menu system that shows more priority to things I really use, and buries things like Compass and iPod where they need to be, on the periphery of my awareness. The only thing I'm missing still is the ability to navigate to a point on the map. That may be a trick, but one worth pulling off. There isn't a lot of custom routing options in there yet, but if you really care about prioritization of stops, you should buy something more elaborate anyway\u2014perhaps a portable GPS unit.\n\n\n\nAs you can see, even in portrait mode, the menus are cleaner:\n\nAll in all, it's a palpable improvement for a worthwhile product, especially one so durned cheap. That's right, it's still just $1, with $3/month or $25/year turn-by-turn voice service. You may hate GPS navigators, you may even hate GPS apps, but if you are on vacation and you don't have this app\u2014at the very minimum, that is\u2014you are just crazy.

If you're Founder A and you are starting an e-commerce platform, learn to use Shopify or Squarespace, and build it yourself, at least until you start generating revenue. So back to the original case, How many shares should Founder A get, vs. Founder B? Probably a lot of debate here, but I am going to say in this situation this should be a 50/50 split. While Founder A has the idea, he can't execute it without Founder B. The idea and the business are worthless without Founder B and being this a tech company, the product is just as important as the marketing, sales, fundraising, etc...\u00a0\n\nNow, this may be re-balanced if, for example, the business has some traction before Founder B comes in. And don't count 'talking to customers' as Traction: I'm talking revenue, sales, rounds of funding... users at least. That traction is worth something, so Founder A should be compensated for reaching that traction before Founder B came in. The essence of this story is, whether there are 2 or 3 founders, the original company split should be equal- unless there is an additional value already provided by one of the founders, in the form of money or traction. Now, let's say Founder A and Founder B agree on that 50/50 split, and six months later Founder B leaves. That would suck for Founder A who now has a missing-in-action partner who owns 50% of the company. This is what Vesting is for. Founder Vesting is an agreement in the way stock is issued, while the founders are entirely dedicated to the business. We'll get back to the meaning of that. A standard agreement is a 12-month cliff and 4-year vesting. This means that we'll take stock of each founder, say 500,000 shares, and split them in 48 months. That's about 10,416 shares per month. For the first 12 months of working for the company, this stock will not vest: this is the cliff. That means if that person leaves, he won't take any stock in the company. The stock is a protection to the remaining co-founders in case that person leaves very early in the company's story. On the 12th month, at the stroke of midnight, the vested shares for those 12 months will be executed, which means that the founder will now own 125,000 shares of stock in the company, one-fourth of his take. The remaining shares will continue to vest, monthly, thereafter.\u00a0\n\nIn the case of that person leaving, the remaining founders are still protected and have additional stock for recruiting a new team member, and the person who is quitting is compensated for his work at a critical stage of the company. Now, if you have a US business, it's really, really, really important that you file an 83(b) election if you are receiving vested stock. I can't stress this enough. If you forget, and your business grows or gets funded, you might end up with thousands of dollars in taxes. You can find a free template for this on Founder Hub. OK, so we've established vesting. An additional challenge here is many businesses don't start with funding or money in the bank. So the founders still have day jobs or side projects to pay their bills. How do you establish, then what 'fully dedicated to the business' means? It's tough. I'll lay out my example and hope that provides some guidance.\u00a0\n\nOnce again, similar conditions are easier and ideal. If both founders have day jobs, then they can agree on a certain number of hours per day. The problem is when one of the founders has a day job, and the other one doesn't, or if one of the founders has a family to support and the other lives with his parents, or in a city where the cost of living is lower. This is where salary agreements are useful. This is what I didn't do the first time, but learned a hard lesson and solved it for, my second company, Slide bean. When we started the company, we agreed that each founder would have a $1,000 salary. While our living situations and monthly expenses were different, we decided that was enough to live in San Jose. The priority was obviously taxes, legal fees, and so on... but as long as the company had money after those necessary payments, everybody would get their full paycheck. If there weren't enough money, we'd get equal paychecks with whatever funds were left, and the company would 'owe' is that salary. We self-funded the company for about a year, mostly with small consulting projects. We agreed that those were company projects, not individual projects... so even though the project only involved one or two of us, the money we made from that would be the company's money, and not that individual's. This worked rather well for us, only a couple of times we had to delay our payments- and we agreed that it was each one's responsibility to 'survive' until the next paycheck came in. Defining a limit here is also useful, maybe 3 or 6 months, after which the founders are allowed to take on day jobs without that being considered 'leaving the company,' for vesting purposes. Defining that salary and where it stands in the company's cash flow priorities is critical. It's not pretty when companies run out of money, and there isn't enough money to pay stuff. That's a terrible time to agree on things. You should decide on things when things are moving forward, on good-will... and put it in writing. It doesn't have to be a lawyer-approved legal document, simply draft these rules in a document, print it, sign it, and stand with your word.\u00a0\n\nSome other tips here, come up with salaries that you can realistically afford as a company. If you live in different cities, you might agree on a salary adjustment for living costs. If one of the founders has savings or money flexibility and the other one doesn't, the solution is NOT to cut his paycheck but to use that money as an investment in the company. For example, let's say Founder A and Founder B both live in the same city, but one of them has savings, and the other one doesn't. A solution here would be for Founder B to collect a salary and Founder A to not get a salary, because 'he doesn't need it.' That will create a mess afterward. Founder B has been receiving a salary and Founder A has been eating up his savings. A good approach here would be for Founder A to invest $10,000 in the company and get a fair stock compensation in exchange for that. Both get equal salaries since they both live in the same city. This is my point when I say founder relationships are like a marriage. You need to be open about this stuff and be prepared for new circumstances as the business progresses. I became a dad six months into starting the business... which could have been a mess unless there were agreements that had been in place before that. Let me know what you think of these ideas.

For the first 12 months of working for the company, this stock will not vest: this is the cliff. That means if that person leaves, he won't take any stock in the company. The stock is a protection to the remaining co-founders in case that person leaves very early in the company's story. On the 12th month, at the stroke of midnight, the vested shares for those 12 months will be executed, which means that the founder will now own 125,000 shares of stock in the company, one-fourth of his take. The remaining shares will continue to vest, monthly, thereafter.\u00a0\n\nIn the case of that person leaving, the remaining founders are still protected and have additional stock for recruiting a new team member, and the person who is quitting is compensated for his work at a critical stage of the company. Now, if you have a US business, it's really, really, really important that you file an 83(b) election if you are receiving vested stock. I can't stress this enough. If you forget, and your business grows or gets funded, you might end up with thousands of dollars in taxes. You can find a free template for this on Founder Hub. OK, so we've established vesting. An additional challenge here is many businesses don't start with funding or money in the bank. So the founders still have day jobs or side projects to pay their bills. How do you establish, then what 'fully dedicated to the business' means? It's tough. I'll lay out my example and hope that provides some guidance.\u00a0\n\nOnce again, similar conditions are easier and ideal. If both founders have day jobs, then they can agree on a certain number of hours per day. The problem is when one of the founders has a day job, and the other one doesn't, or if one of the founders has a family to support and the other lives with his parents, or in a city where the cost of living is lower. This is where salary agreements are useful. This is what I didn't do the first time, but learned a hard lesson and solved it for, my second company, Slide bean. When we started the company, we agreed that each founder would have a $1,000 salary. While our living situations and monthly expenses were different, we decided that was enough to live in San Jose. The priority was obviously taxes, legal fees, and so on... but as long as the company had money after those necessary payments, everybody would get their full paycheck. If there weren't enough money, we'd get equal paychecks with whatever funds were left, and the company would 'owe' is that salary. We self-funded the company for about a year, mostly with small consulting projects. We agreed that those were company projects, not individual projects... so even though the project only involved one or two of us, the money we made from that would be the company's money, and not that individual's. This worked rather well for us, only a couple of times we had to delay our payments- and we agreed that it was each one's responsibility to 'survive' until the next paycheck came in. Defining a limit here is also useful, maybe 3 or 6 months, after which the founders are allowed to take on day jobs without that being considered 'leaving the company,' for vesting purposes. Defining that salary and where it stands in the company's cash flow priorities is critical. It's not pretty when companies run out of money, and there isn't enough money to pay stuff. That's a terrible time to agree on things. You should decide on things when things are moving forward, on good-will... and put it in writing. It doesn't have to be a lawyer-approved legal document, simply draft these rules in a document, print it, sign it, and stand with your word.\u00a0\n\nSome other tips here, come up with salaries that you can realistically afford as a company. If you live in different cities, you might agree on a salary adjustment for living costs. If one of the founders has savings or money flexibility and the other one doesn't, the solution is NOT to cut his paycheck but to use that money as an investment in the company. For example, let's say Founder A and Founder B both live in the same city, but one of them has savings, and the other one doesn't. A solution here would be for Founder B to collect a salary and Founder A to not get a salary, because 'he doesn't need it.' That will create a mess afterward. Founder B has been receiving a salary and Founder A has been eating up his savings. A good approach here would be for Founder A to invest $10,000 in the company and get a fair stock compensation in exchange for that. Both get equal salaries since they both live in the same city. This is my point when I say founder relationships are like a marriage. You need to be open about this stuff and be prepared for new circumstances as the business progresses. I became a dad six months into starting the business... which could have been a mess unless there were agreements that had been in place before that. Let me know what you think of these ideas.

Making the situation worse is the terrible energy reporting in the media. Frequently mixing up MW and MWh, pretending that there is no such thing as capacity factor, and singing the praises of some project or other on the basis that it will power \"X\" homes. Since when is a \"home\" a unit of energy or power? The \"X\" homes stuff is especially deceptive because it carries that implication that powering all homes by adding \"n\" more such projects will deal with the problem. No it won't - not even close.\n\n You don't have to wonder too much about the motivations of the renewables industry in this ongoing charade, but how about the \"green\" organizations? Why have they deliberately done their best to create such a disconnect between reality and public perception? The answer is pretty easy - they fear that perception of the achievements of solar/wind that matches the reality will open the door to nuclear power. And they do not want that - not at any price including the price of fundamentally obsfuscating the climate/energy problem.\n\n This is a very bad situation.\n\n 5 0\n 4.

Can we borrow it?\" (BigBrother is still getting the buy/borrow distinction down) I have no problem saying no to new giant construction trucks, particularly since they all require batteries and make lots and lots of noise.\n\nBut then we come to the Superman\\Spiderman section. \"Oooh Daddy, look it's Doc Oc! Can we have him?\" I negotiate with myself. \"No batteries. Doesn't make noise. It's only $4.\" Ok, sure. And let's get Rhino too.\n\nThe kids have every stupid Spiderman action figure known to man.

The individual, transformed, will perceive new meaning to his life, to events, to numbers, to interactions between people.\n\nW. Edwards Deming\n\nI reflect on a regular basis about why companies struggle with the application of lean within their businesses. Countless organizations have tried or are trying to deploy lean in some form but, after achieving some early gains, most become frustrated and disappointed with the effort.\n\nWith countless books, blogs, and seminars available on the subject, along with the openness of Toyota to show how TPS works for them, it is difficult to understand why organizations continue to have trouble achieving sustained levels of improvement that are possible with a successful deployment.\n\nThe more I reflect on the problem, the more I come back to one word: transformation. Lean doesn\u2019t happen without significant change, and failing to understand that fundamental transformation is required \u2013 both personal and organizational \u2013 will lead to frustration and mediocrity over the long term.\n\n\nThe first time I toured a Toyota factory, I noticed several people in the group from a competing automaker.

And yes, a number of Palestinians also fled Israel under the belief that they would be able to return after Arab countries emerged victorious. The miscalculation cost them their homes. At the same time, Jewish emigration to Israel rapidly increased. Jewish communities that had existed peacefully in Arab countries for centuries were forced out or obliterated.

At the same time, Jewish emigration to Israel rapidly increased. Jewish communities that had existed peacefully in Arab countries for centuries were forced out or obliterated. History reveals countless wrongs committed by numerous parties.\n\nBut what wrongs are being committed today? I vaguely remembered a comment by a family friend, a Jordanian professor, who once told me sadly that the Jordanians probably cared less for Palestinians than do Israelis. I tried to recall what I knew of 1970\u2019s Black September, a period perhaps overlooked by our generation. During this period, King Hussein of Jordan, perceiving a threat in the autonomy of the West Bank Palestinians, drove the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) into Lebanon.

Now, the pair of young Londoners has issued the first extended document of its production talents, The Face EP, which, across four tracks, proves that songs like recent a-side \"Tenderly\" and the duo's super-slick Jesse Ware remix were no flukes. Disclosure has found an almost irresistible middle ground between pop-minded club music and house-indebted bass music, and\u2014with this EP as our most substantial indication yet\u2014the duo's flood of quality material appears to be holding steady.\n\nInitial efforts found Disclosure's stylistic aim morphing and evolving with each release, but more recently Disclosure appears to have settled into a sound. Granted, a few hints of the post-dubstep influence that marked the pair's early productions remain, namely in the form of click-clack, swung percussion, chords touched with a palpable sense of mood, and the occasional pitched vocal snippet. But beyond that, very little of Disclosure's past remains on this EP. The first three tunes float between 119 and 125 bpm and utilize a four-on-the-floor kick drum to anchor the proceedings, while the final cut, \"Control,\" lays down a funky, 2-step drum pattern and pushes the tempo just beyond 130 bpm.\n\nWhile The Face's drum programming is nothing short of stellar (especially when Disclosure flexes its talent for assembling intricate percussion patterns), it is really the musical aspects that make these tunes so rewarding. Whether it's an effortlessly natural gift or a methodical process that developed over time, Disclosure has an undeniable knack for crafting infectious songs that are simultaneously soulful, jazzy, and remarkably accessible. In particular, the chords and bass on The Face stand out as the pillars of this hybrid sound\u2014opener \"Boiling\" lets its bassline roll and turn in the open slots as floaty chords circle above, while \"What's In Your Head\" and \"Livid Up\" present much more syncopated rhythms between their warm organ chords and rounded basslines. Due to the strength of these progressions (and their occasional melodic accompaniment), Disclosure bears comparison to fellow UK bass/pop-smith SBTRKT, in that both acts have found a way to mix what works in the club with what works for a larger iPod-oriented audience without sacrificing their stylistic integrity. In doing so, Disclosure seems likely to be a group that acts as an intermediary between the two worlds, serving to bring a crowd of people to the UK bass and club-music world that otherwise may not have ended up there.\n\nThat said, this EP is not flawless, meaning that there are still a few bones worth picking with The Face. First of all, one can't help but notice how similar these four tracks sound\u2014they share almost identical sonic elements (housey organs, gliding chords, smoothed-over bass) and a similar mood that exists somewhere between soulful liveliness and R&B-style contemplation. In fact, if this EP had gone beyond its 20-minute run with another track along the same vein, it may have been too much of the same. Fortunately though, Disclosure keeps it short and sweet, preventing those similarities from feeling overworked or needlessly redundant before the EP is through. The vocal contributions which bookend the EP are also a bit underwhelming; although Sinead Harnett's appearance on \"Boiling\" and Ria Ritchie's contribution to \"Control\" don't take away from the songs, they also are not particularly engaging, leaving one to wonder how effective they'd be over tracks that weren't so strong to begin with.\n\nRegardless of these minor issues, The Face EP is as strong of an official debut EP as any group could ask for. In truth, Disclosure has put together an effort on which every song is likely to receive its share of dancefloor spins for grateful audiences, all while still leaving plenty of room for the duo's talents to keep growing.

The Browns should not be a 3-4 defense. They do not have anything near the type of talent/speed that 3-4 linebackers should have in that scheme. This is one of the biggest flaws of the 'Belichick' guys is that they are trying to instill a 3-4 defense with Cleveland. Again, they need to adapt to the players the browns have, which is the trouble with our defense since Romeo- and now Mangini.\n\n \u2022 Titus Pullo\n\n Since we're now resorting to cherry-picking unatributed statements from a NY Jets blog to manufacture support for Mangini, maybe a few more recent selections would draw a clearer picture of how Jets fans are pining away for dear departed coach:\n\n\n\n\n Belichick promoted Mangini to def. coordinator and, when he saw that the ship be sinking, he replaced him. And this is bad how? When people make mistakes they correct them. They don't let them linger. Kind of how when you hire a coach and he's failing you should consider fixing the problem.\n\n So Mike Lombardi is now the latest person to have an \"agenda\" with Mangini? How is it that this \"family-oriented man\" (whatever that means) has so many people conspiring against him? How is it that they are all wrong and he's right?\n\n Lombardi sticks to one of the basic foundations of journalism by protecting a source and somehow this casts doubt on his argument? No offense, but just because he wouldn't tell you Frownie who his source is doesn't really mean anything. It's not like you're 60 Minutes and you have Mike Wallace outside his door looking for info.\n\n And, right or wrong, everyone from the Belichick coaching \"tree\" is going to be evaluated together. You can't dismiss Weiss and Romeo just because they prove that being a coordinator under Belichick is not a predictor of success as a head coach. You have to take the good with the bad.\n\n McDaniels may turn out to be the Sonny to Belichick's Godfather. Sadly, we went from Clemenza to Fredo here in Cleveland.\n\n \u2022 Cleveland Frowns\n\n Fact: Anonymous sources are less credible than sources that go on the record.\n\n Fact: It seems plenty likely that the current Jets would be somewhere around 11-2 if Mangini would have been left to coach this team that he built. I doubt they'd have lost to the Bills, the Jags, or the Raiders, anyway. And probably would have gotten at least one from those Dolphins.\n\n Really, other than Favre's meltdown at the end of last season, I don't see Mangini teams lose to less talented teams.\n\n Pullo: Those three posts from the Jets blog don't seem particularly damning. The one about Kokinis seems especially measured, and I do like that one of them simply cuts and pastes from Posnanski's argument that Posnanski himself has recognized my counter to as cogent and respectable.\n\n \u2022 Pittsburgh is for Man Lovers\n\n I still can't figure out why everybody hates the guy so much. He had 2 winning seasons in 3 years with the Jets. If he came in here and did that, he'd be canonized. There is overwhelming support outside of the media that he isn't a butthead and really, did anyone deep down think we were going to do anything this year? I've seen enough progress to say he definitely deserves one more year. This team put the D in Dysfunction before he arrived and while I don't think we're out of the woods, a philosophy and vision is in place. Michael Lombardi definitely seems like he has an axe to grind with Mangini. If this means I am a Frownie apostle, then so be it.

Or that such a fact wasn't relevant to Lombardi's 'analysis'?\n\n Or is it my failure to acknowledge what a solid argument it is to suggest that Mangini TRICKED Belichick, the Browns (twice), the Jets, the Raiders, and the Dolphins into giving him high level NFL jobs?\n\n Hard for me to tell from here.\n\n \u2022 Biki\n\n so this year doesn't seem dysfunctional to you?? mangini divorces his hand picked GM and best friend halfway through the season, also fires another close confidant. the QB controversy and bumbling, and then all the other issues with players starting the first week he was here with Shaun Rogers and most recently with Jamal Lewis. i'm not saying i think these are all valid issues to have against mangini, but to say that there was no dysfunction in this team this year is the understatement of the year.\n\n \u2022 Bryan\n\n\n That statement", "base_doc": " disloyalty, subversion, dishonesty, or the like, usually based on slight, doubtful, or irrelevant evidence.\" (Source: Dictionary.com)\n\n With that in mind, isn't it accurate to conclude that you have launched your own witch hunt against those who you claim to be doing the same against Eric Mangini?

Again, they need to adapt to the players the browns have, which is the trouble with our defense since Romeo- and now Mangini.\n\n \u2022 Titus Pullo\n\n Since we're now resorting to cherry-picking unatributed statements from a NY Jets blog to manufacture support for Mangini, maybe a few more recent selections would draw a clearer picture of how Jets fans are pining away for dear departed coach:\n\n\n\n\n Belichick promoted Mangini to def. coordinator and, when he saw that the ship be sinking, he replaced him. And this is bad how? When people make mistakes they correct them. They don't let them linger. Kind of how when you hire a coach and he's failing you should consider fixing the problem.\n\n So Mike Lombardi is now the latest person to have an \"agenda\" with Mangini? How is it that this \"family-oriented man\" (whatever that means) has so many people conspiring against him? How is it that they are all wrong and he's right?\n\n Lombardi sticks to one of the basic foundations of journalism by protecting a source and somehow this casts doubt on his argument? No offense, but just because he wouldn't tell you Frownie who his source is doesn't really mean anything. It's not like you're 60 Minutes and you have Mike Wallace outside his door looking for info.\n\n And, right or wrong, everyone from the Belichick coaching \"tree\" is going to be evaluated together. You can't dismiss Weiss and Romeo just because they prove that being a coordinator under Belichick is not a predictor of success as a head coach. You have to take the good with the bad.\n\n McDaniels may turn out to be the Sonny to Belichick's Godfather. Sadly, we went from Clemenza to Fredo here in Cleveland.\n\n \u2022 Cleveland Frowns\n\n Fact: Anonymous sources are less credible than sources that go on the record.\n\n Fact: It seems plenty likely that the current Jets would be somewhere around 11-2 if Mangini would have been left to coach this team that he built. I doubt they'd have lost to the Bills, the Jags, or the Raiders, anyway. And probably would have gotten at least one from those Dolphins.\n\n Really, other than Favre's meltdown at the end of last season, I don't see Mangini teams lose to less talented teams.\n\n Pullo: Those three posts from the Jets blog don't seem particularly damning. The one about Kokinis seems especially measured, and I do like that one of them simply cuts and pastes from Posnanski's argument that Posnanski himself has recognized my counter to as cogent and respectable.\n\n \u2022 Pittsburgh is for Man Lovers\n\n I still can't figure out why everybody hates the guy so much. He had 2 winning seasons in 3 years with the Jets. If he came in here and did that, he'd be canonized. There is overwhelming support outside of the media that he isn't a butthead and really, did anyone deep down think we were going to do anything this year? I've seen enough progress to say he definitely deserves one more year. This team put the D in Dysfunction before he arrived and while I don't think we're out of the woods, a philosophy and vision is in place. Michael Lombardi definitely seems like he has an axe to grind with Mangini. If this means I am a Frownie apostle, then so be it. Kool Aid tastes great.\n\n \u2022 Malcolm Mathers\n\n\n I used to view you as a person with a alternative albeit irrational view. Now I look at you like one would look at a Hamas Jihadist; I`m curious how your going to twist and miscontrue every peice of news and evidence.\n\n Not saying I don`t agree a tiny bit, but lets just say I started reading this blog for analysis and now read it for entertainment.\n\n \u2022 Cleveland Frowns\n\n So you used to read because you found the posts irrational, and now you read them because you think I'm a freedom fighter?\n\n I guess I'm glad you read, anyway.\n\n I'd love to know what you suppose is misconstrued here.\n\n Is it my failure to acknowledge that Mangini should have done better with a defense that was so decimated by injury? Or that such a fact wasn't relevant to Lombardi's 'analysis'?\n\n Or is it my failure to acknowledge what a solid argument it is to suggest that Mangini TRICKED Belichick, the Browns (twice), the Jets, the Raiders, and the Dolphins into giving him high level NFL jobs?\n\n Hard for me to tell from here.\n\n \u2022 Biki\n\n so this year doesn't seem dysfunctional to you?? mangini divorces his hand picked GM and best friend halfway through the season, also fires another close confidant. the QB controversy and bumbling, and then all the other issues with players starting the first week he was here with Shaun Rogers and most recently with Jamal Lewis. i'm not saying i think these are all valid issues to have against mangini, but to say that there was no dysfunction in this team this year is the understatement of the year.\n\n \u2022 Bryan\n\n\n That statement is a lot of things, but it ain't a fact, my friend.\n\n \u2022 Cleveland Frowns\n\n Really, it is a fact. A fact that Mangini LIKELY would have had this Jets team (his Jets team) at 11-2. Maybe not a very provable fact, but a fact nonetheless.\n\n Mangini tends no to lose to teams that are worse than his unless he has a gunslinger firing picks at a rate of 3 per game. A fact on which the above fact is based on.\n\n \u2022 Biki\n\n \"mangini tends to not lose to teams that are worse than his\"\n\n\n 2006 \u2013 he lost to 3 teams who had a worse record than his.\n\n 2007 \u2013 they lost 12 games, enough said\n\n 2008 \u2013 out of their 7 losses, 5 of them were to teams with inferior records and in only 1 of those losses did he throw 3 picks. in fact he only threw 3 picks in a game 2 times all season and they went 1-1 in those games.\n\n \u2022 Cleveland Frowns\n\n I think I might have", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 137424, "pt_loc": 50764377, "pt_shuffle_idx": 119367686, "doc_index_f": 187076026, "doc_index_l": 187076026, "offset_f": 3414, "offset_l": 5462, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 233, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": "close to the windows, watching the scudding clouds with\nanxious faces.\n\nFifteen minutes passed, then the ship raised her nose, reared in a long\ncurve, and swooped downward.

And Pinterest's business model. And Instagram's business model. And everyone else's business model.\u00a0\n\nIt's almost gotten to the point where everyone's business model, no matter what service they provide or trinket they push, is really all about selling advertising surrounding the service or trinket to other businesses around your neighborhood, your city, your state and your country. But if everyone everywhere is selling advertising space does this mean that the market for advertising is infinitely scalable? I don't think that's really possible.\u00a0\n\nI get that there's room for growth in emerging markets but the trend in the U.S. period already points to both deceleration and declining web ad revenue. The media buys are already too fragmented to achieve perceptible, measurable momentum and results for any but the most enormous marketers and, the fragmentation of the market continues unabated. Twitter stock recently took a big dive because investors are unsure how adding more advertising in yet another space within an already over crowded market will ultimately drive profitability. I'm sure the same will follow along for most of the purveyors of user generated content spaces because of the sheer amount of space available.\u00a0\n\nIt all comes down to supply and demand. When ad space in a demographic sector (high capacity web users, hipsters, middle America Online ) becomes closer and closer to infinite the value of said space drops to nearly zero. A recent example is as close at hand as stock photography. Once upon a time stock images were hard to find, hard to get and hard to physically deal with. Now they are just electrons, they are sourced directly from your mom and your daughter and your Facebook pages and tens of millions of free stock image generators. The search and delivery is totally automated and we can now access billions and billions of images at the click of a touch pad. The supply has gotten closer and closer to infinite and so now the value has dropped to nearly zero. Supply and demand. In fact, Getty is giving most of your stock photography away free because they too believe the mantra that the key to profitability is to sell advertising space and they are using their product (your product) as a \"loss leader\" to drive eyeballs to their site in order to capture enough data to convince all the same prospective advertisers everyone else is chasing about the wonderful value of their space.\u00a0\n\nWouldn't be surprised in the least if Amazon was making more money in the placement, advertising and marketing of the products that they sell than they do in the actual margins on the products you queue up to buy. Wouldn't it be bizarre to find out that your camera purchase or your purchase of Nike running shoes on their site is partially subsidized by advertising revenue delivered by selling space on their own site to their own merchants. Even if it is a less than direct methodology.\u00a0\n\nBut let's dive a little deeper and see what we think the end results might be.... So, imagine a publisher starting a newspaper in a big, literate town which currently has no newspaper at all. They bring in a staff of reporters, designers, layout people, editors, sales people, distributors and all the rest. A big investment. But...they have an exclusive market for their style of advertising: Display ads in among the (riveting) content as well as consumer (user) generated ads in the \"want ad\" area of the paper. The newspaper makes a good profit. Which attracts another newspaper that comes in with the same basic offers and the same space. They split the market and both papers make a profit, although now the overall profits to both are reduced.\n\nNow imagine a metro market of half a million people who are offered two thousand newspapers. All with very similar content. All with very similar ad space that is moving toward infinite availability. There are not nearly enough advertisers to go around (not enough demand) so the papers start price wars in attempts to get more of the market share. The prices drop because there is a huge supply of space resources and no increase in overall demand. As the ad space nears infinity the revenue from that ad space effectively approaches zero. But if the quality of the content remains the same that means costs remain fixed.\u00a0\n\nSo, now the papers have two options. They can try to institute a much higher price subscription paradigm but they quickly find out that they have done a good job teaching their target markets (both advertisers and end consumers) that all information and ad space should be almost free (remember that the ad revenue was supposed to be the driver that paid for the overhead). The other option is to reduce the cost of content. They could do this by crowdsourcing the content and laying off their pro staffs but in the end they may find that the unvetted and unreliable content is no longer good enough to drive consumers to consume the papers in enough numbers and with enough loyalty to lure advertisers into buying ad space to reach said consumers.\u00a0\n\nAt some point, across the board, the revenue starts to zero out. When the revenue starts to zero out the entity can no longer afford the content that drove the site in the first place.

Inspiring innovation, groundbreaking technologies, and colorful characters abound in the story of the Stanley Hotel. Freeland O. Stanley moved to Estes Park with his wife Flora in the early 1900s, seeking the \"mountain cure\" for tuberculosis. Co-inventor of the Stanley Steamer motorcar (with his twin brother, Francis), Stanley brought many new technologies to Estes Park and his hotel. He built a hydroplant at Fall River; the electricity generated from this plant was distributed along overhead lines to his hotel. He also sold electricity to Estes Park citizens, not by metering usage but rather, by selling light bulbs. Stanley also built the town's first wooden-pipe water distribution system. In 1909, the doors of his luxury hotel opened offering a", "base_doc": " And Yahoo's business model. And Pinterest's business model. And Instagram's business model. And everyone else's business model.\u00a0\n\nIt's almost gotten to the point where everyone's business model, no matter what service they provide or trinket they push, is really all about selling advertising surrounding the service or trinket to other businesses around your neighborhood, your city, your state and your country. But if everyone everywhere is selling advertising space does this mean that the market for advertising is infinitely scalable? I don't think that's really possible.\u00a0\n\nI get that there's room for growth in emerging markets but the trend in the U.S. period already points to both deceleration and declining web ad revenue. The media buys are already too fragmented to achieve perceptible, measurable momentum and results for any but the most enormous marketers and, the fragmentation of the market continues unabated. Twitter stock recently took a big dive because investors are unsure how adding more advertising in yet another space within an already over crowded market will ultimately drive profitability. I'm sure the same will follow along for most of the purveyors of user generated content spaces because of the sheer amount of space available.\u00a0\n\nIt all comes down to supply and demand. When ad space in a demographic sector (high capacity web users, hipsters, middle America Online ) becomes closer and closer to infinite the value of said space drops to nearly zero. A recent example is as close at hand as stock photography. Once upon a time stock images were hard to find, hard to get and hard to physically deal with. Now they are just electrons, they are sourced directly from your mom and your daughter and your Facebook pages and tens of millions of free stock image generators. The search and delivery is totally automated and we can now access billions and billions of images at the click of a touch pad. The supply has gotten closer and closer to infinite and so now the value has dropped to nearly zero. Supply and demand. In fact, Getty is giving most of your stock photography away free because they too believe the mantra that the key to profitability is to sell advertising space and they are using their product (your product) as a \"loss leader\" to drive eyeballs to their site in order to capture enough data to convince all the same prospective advertisers everyone else is chasing about the wonderful value of their space.\u00a0\n\nWouldn't be surprised in the least if Amazon was making more money in the placement, advertising and marketing of the products that they sell than they do in the actual margins on the products you queue up to buy. Wouldn't it be bizarre to find out that your camera purchase or your purchase of Nike running shoes on their site is partially subsidized by advertising revenue delivered by selling space on their own site to their own merchants. Even if it is a less than direct methodology.\u00a0\n\nBut let's dive a little deeper and see what we think the end results might be.... So, imagine a publisher starting a newspaper in a big, literate town which currently has no newspaper at all. They bring in a staff of reporters, designers, layout people, editors, sales people, distributors and all the rest. A big investment. But...they have an exclusive market for their style of advertising: Display ads in among the (riveting) content as well as consumer (user) generated ads in the \"want ad\" area of the paper. The newspaper makes a good profit. Which attracts another newspaper that comes in with the same basic offers and the same space. They split the market and both papers make a profit, although now the overall profits to both are reduced.\n\nNow imagine a metro market of half a million people who are offered two thousand newspapers. All with very similar content. All with very similar ad space that is moving toward infinite availability. There are not nearly enough advertisers to go around (not enough demand) so the papers start price wars in attempts to get more of the market share. The prices drop because there is a huge supply of space resources and no increase in overall demand. As the ad space nears infinity the revenue from that ad space effectively approaches zero. But if the quality of the content remains the same that means costs remain fixed.\u00a0\n\nSo, now the papers have two options. They can try to institute a much higher price subscription paradigm but they quickly find out that they have done a good job teaching their target markets (both advertisers and end consumers) that all information and ad space should be almost free (remember that the ad revenue was supposed to be the driver that paid for the overhead). The other option is to reduce the cost of content. They could do this by crowdsourcing the content and laying off their pro staffs but in the end they may find that the unvetted and unreliable content is no longer good enough to drive consumers to consume the papers in enough numbers and with enough loyalty to lure advertisers into buying ad space to reach said consumers.\u00a0\n\nAt some point, across the board, the revenue starts to zero out. When the revenue starts to zero out the entity can no longer afford the content that drove the site in the first place. Or the market they once enjoyed in an almost exclusive way is now split between hundreds of very similar vendors, most of whom did not have to bear the same costs and time investments to create the market at the inception.\u00a0\n\nThis then triggers Kirk's immutable law of virtual content and virtual delivery economics: Terminal Ubiquity (tm).

On the evening of June 25 of that year, a thunderstorm cut the power and all of the hotel's guests were taken down to the lobby while staff was charged with lighting the back-up acetylene gas lamps. There was an unknown gas leak when chambermaid Elizabeth Wilson entered Room 217 with a lit candle.\n\n\"The gas didn't have an odor in that time period,\" said Freitas, \"so she couldn't smell anything. As soon as she entered the room, there was an instant explosion.\" The massive blast destroyed about 10% of the nearly 70,000 square-foot hotel, it's entire west wing. \"It was a compression explosion,\" Freitas explained, \"so it actually put out its own fire, otherwise it would have burned down the hotel because it is mostly wood, a timber-frame structure.\" The force of the explosion sent Wilson crashing into", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 140696, "pt_loc": 86294239, "pt_shuffle_idx": 138600887, "doc_index_f": 217234589, "doc_index_l": 217234590, "offset_f": 542, "offset_l": 511, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 252, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [1537, 512]} +{"pt_doc": "to \"slam\" the fellow if he took it\ndown.\n\nThen there came into his head the bright idea that if he followed this\nboy up the hill to an unfrequented spot he could hold him up for a\nnickel.\n\nA little way up the hill the boy suddenly turned and stood waiting for\nhim.

They also arrested the police and pro-Sharif army officers and top Ministers and bureaucrats who were at the airport controlling the operation.\n\nThe plane landed and General Musharaf took command after a situation where the army had come very close to a bloody internal conflict.

The coup was complete. Or was it?\n\nSocial, economic and political turmoil\n\nThis coup came within the context of severe social, economic and political turmoil. The economy is on the verge of bankruptcy, sectarian violence is claiming hundreds of lives, the number of suicides across the country is growing dramatically. Unemployment, corruption, crime, disease, illiteracy, hunger, poverty and misery stalks the land. During the 11 year democratic interlude the so-called civilian politicians played havoc with the economy and the assets of the state. They plundered and looted the exchequer and the resources of the country. New records of corruption were set and Pakistan was declared the second most corrupt country in the world by the Berlin based Transparency Monitoring Institute.\n\nYet in all these eleven years the army never really relinquished power. It was always there in the background looking over the shoulders of the civilian rulers. The army officers enjoyed all the perks and privileges and the civilian rulers were subservient to them in a thousand ways. During these years of civilian rule not a single government was able to complete its tenure. Seven governments changed during this interregnum of a botched democracy.\n\nIt is ironic that this \"democracy\" came into being after a previous eleven years of vicious military dictatorship. The first military dictatorship of General Ayub Khan was imposed through a coup on 27th October 1958, again, eleven years after Pakistan's \"independence\" from the British Raj in 1947. That military coup came in the aftermath of a corrupt, chaotic and anarchic rule of the feudal and capitalist politicians, who couldn't even formulate a constitution in all those years.\n\nThe Ayub Khan dictatorship survived till march 1969 when it was removed by another declaration of martial law by Gen. Yahya Khan. The prolongation of the Ayub dictatorship was mainly due to high economic growth rates and rapid industrialisation, which was the result of the spin-off effect of the boom in the West during the 50's and the 60's. However this industrial growth never managed to develop society and raise the living standards as a whole.\n\n1968-69: power was in the hands of the masses\n\nParadoxically, this uneven and combined nature of development created a fresh and virgin proletariat. In 1968-69 this proletariat struck. A movement of the students erupted which culminated in a revolutionary situation. Power had passed from the echelons of the rulership into the streets, factories, shanty towns, villages and towns. The working masses actually felt power in their hands and there was the fragrance of the revolution in the air.\n\nUnfortunately due to the lack of a Bolshevik party and a Marxist leadership the revolution was diverted along nationalist lines and led to the war of Bengal in 1971. After the humiliating defeat of the Pakistan army in the war, again a revolutionary situation broke out.\n\nHowever, this time reforms were used to derail the revolution. The installation of the first elected government into power was the by-product of the revolution. This new P.P.P. government was headed by Ayub Khan's ex foreign minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. He had understood the real character of the 1968-69 revolution and accordingly developed a radical Socialist programme during that delicate and exceptional revolutionary period. This made him a legend which persists till today.\n\nHowever, once in power, and in the clutches of the bourgeois state he had no option but to salvage the rotten system. Under pressure from below he carried through massive nationalisations and the most radical reforms in the history of Pakistan. But behind this facade of reform he was carrying out a democratic counter revolution to avert an impending socialist revolution in Pakistan. His reforms become counter reforms in a short period. Inflation and price hikes lead to crisis which was further aggravated by the 1974 world recession.\n\nThe 1977 coup\n\nThe discontent of the masses was exasperated by the rightward capitulation of Bhutto. A right wing reactionary movement was initiated at the behest of the CIA and this culminated in the military coup of 4th July 1977 lead by General Zia ul Haq. Bhutto was interned, imprisoned and later assassinated on the gallows of the vicious dictator in April 1979.\n\nThis was the beginning of one of the most tyrannical epochs of Pakistan's tragic history. Thousands of workers, peasants, youth, students and political workers were tortured, lashed, imprisoned and hanged in the jails of the military rule. The dictatorship carried out mass genocide of the movements which rose against it. In the 1983 movement in Sindh 1063 people were killed by the army alone. All this brutality was not only tolerated but was actively encouraged and supported by U.S. imperialism.\n\nThe Zia dictatorship was also used as a bulwark of reaction by the Americans in the whole region. The counter revolution in Afghanistan was the biggest covert operation ever carried out by the CIA in its entire history. The military regime in Pakistan was its modus operandi in this barbarous act. Four million Afghans were displaced and hundreds of thousands killed in this imperialist sponsored Islamic Jihad (holy war). The U.S. spent $7 billion in direct cash on this operation. Arms and other logistic support were provided by the ISI and the Pakistan army. The manufacture and smuggling of heroin was encouraged by the CIA, to fund the reactionary insurgency. They also provided the technical skills and know-how for converting raw opium into refined white powder (heroin). All this was being conducted under the auspices of the Pakistan army.\n\nThis indulgence in civil society and big money made a significant impact on the discipline and character of the army. The generals and senior officers became millionaires overnight. The so-called black money ballooned and it started having its political and social impacts on society. The phenomenon of Islamic fundamentalism gained new force from the flow of this black money and through U.S. patronage. The Zia dictatorship was based on very strong fundamentalist overtones. It used Islam to gain a social base amongst primitive sections of society.\n\nIts prolongation was also based on other factors. Mainly a relatively high growth rate of an average of 7.2% per annum, high levels of remittances ($3.2 billion per year) from Pakistani workers abroad, support of imperialism for its own strategic reasons and above all the pathetic role of the 'Democratic opposition leaders'.\n\nAs the saying goes \"Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad\". Zia became over-obsessed with power and he started having the hallucination of being a reincarnated Caliph. He wanted to go to Kabul to say prayers in the main mosque, and proclaim a pan-Islamic state. He was going too far even for his own mentors.

The masses rallied around the banner of the PPP and more than 10 million thronged the streets and squares of Pakistan to welcome Ms Bhutto, chanting the slogan 'Benazir has come - she has brought the revolution'.\n\nBut Benazir did what she was sent to do. She saved the rulers, the military, the state and capitalism with its exploitation. She was able to vent the wrath of the masses with another democratic counter revolution. History was repeating itself both as a tragedy and a farce.

To enable good search results, it's a good idea to have some standardization in your naming, description, and tagging style, whether the workflow in your organization is highly distributed or you are the only person creating maps for others to use.\n\nTry to make tags meaningful and describe the content of spatial data in ways that are important to the map editors who'll be using it.

Unbelievable work here Susan.\n\n \u2022 That\u2019s one possibility. Without knowing what records requests were being made here, we can\u2019t know for sure what AT&T was handing over. The investigators did have the power to obtain records of incoming calls, though, and either failed to do so or chose not to.\n\n 12. Love your concluding remarks\u2026\n\n It certainly seems not just plausible but (to me), a very compelling hypothesis \u2013 the body was recovered, the detectives somehow got a list of all cell calls on the closest tower for the day of (and perhaps day after) Hae went missing, hoping to find any hits among any of her acquaintances. I can just imagine them finding Adnan\u2019s (or Adrian\u2019s) phone show up in the list, and high-fiving \u201cBingo! Now let\u2019s go prove it.\u201d Perhaps it was just Adnan\u2019s bad luck to be driving nearby using his phone on the wrong day.\n\n Another interesting catch on the phone call during Adnan\u2019s traffic stop, and the coincidental mistake on the ticket.\n\n Perhaps you should rename your blog viewfrom221b\u2026\n\n 13. Wonderful work. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Adnan became a particular person of interest to the police on Jan. 13th. Her disappearance was unusual and by all accounts, Officer Adcock\u2019s call to him that evening was received awkwardly. She was never seen again until her body was found and certainly her family must\u2019ve been in contact with the police during that period after reporting her missing. Maybe her brother shared serious concerns about Adnan because from what I\u2019ve read it sounds like he wasn\u2019t supportive of Hae\u2019s relationship with him. Who investigates missing persons? Detectives? The police or detectives had already examined Hae\u2019s diary and thus were privy to her on-again-off-again relationship with Adnan and all of her troubles with him, before her body was found \u2014 right? It seems to me that if the Lee family was staying in touch with the police, and presuming there was an active missing person\u2019s case, a picture of Adnan Syed as a suspicious person could\u2019ve been well-formed before she turned up deceased.\n\n 14. This is the first thing I thought of when reading this article \u2013 Parallel Construction:\n\n \u201cDrug Enforcement Administration training documents released to MuckRock user C.J. Ciaramella show how the agency constructs two chains of evidence to hide surveillance programs from defense teams, prosecutors, and a public wary of domestic intelligence practices.\u201d\n\n Also, this Reuters article:\n\n Just because they have now greatly enhanced their capabilities in this realm, that doesn\u2019t mean they weren\u2019t doing a more basic version of it back in the day\u2026\n\n \u2022 To me, this is exactly what the records are screaming. There is a nice paper trail that has been created to show how the cops supposedly got to each step of their investigation \u2014 but it doesn\u2019t actually add up. There are too many jumps forward without an explanation from the record as how to how the investigators arrived at a new bit of intel.\n\n This is why I suspect either a tower dump, an undisclosed witness, or both. If it was a tower dump, the chain went tower dump \u2013> find Adnan\u2019s cell number in return \u2014> unofficial request for Adnan\u2019s cellphone info \u2013> verify number belonged to Adnan \u2013> official request for cellphone info. But instead of a tower dump, there could have been a witness (someone came forward 2/9, 2/10, or 2/11, but wouldn\u2019t go on the official record?) who implicated Adnan in a way the detectives bought hook line and sinker, and they then went straight to the unofficial request for Adnan\u2019s info.\n\n Alternatively, rather than an unofficial request for cellphone info, there could have been an official request through alternative and unpreserved channels.\n\n For similar reasons, I believe that Jenn was the parallel construction for Jay. When the cops went to talk to Jenn, they already knew who she was, and knew that she knew Jay \u2014 even though the records they had only showed a number in her father\u2019s name. Why would they assume Jenn, and not Mark, was the one called? How would they know that Jay was the link between Adnan and the Pusateri residence? Well, if there\u2019d already gotten to Jay, they would have.\n\n 15. Susan, the seatbelt violation image shows Adnan\u2019s address. I assume his family still live there\u2013can you redact it?\n\n \u2022 I think Susan mentioned that both his name and address were incorrect \u2013 so perhaps that\u2019s why it was \u2018t redacted\n\n 16. I had a theory\u2026\n\n Others have wondered (including Rabia) that perhaps Jay was a CI.\n\n We may be looking at the wrong person. Perhaps someone in Jay\u2019s household was a CI (for DEA), and BCPD was encroaching on DEA\u2019s turf by investigating Adnan and Jay.\n\n So DEA \u201chinted\u201d at BCPD to investigate Adnan and leave Jay out of it.\n\n Which was basically what happened.\n\n Urick\u2019s link with narcotics unit would put him in contact with the DEA quite a bit, IIRC.\n\n I know, sounds so conspiratorial\u2026 But it potentially explains so many things!\n\n 17. Hint for help reading faded documents: you may already know that an old trick is to put a yellow filter over the document. Photographers use this to accent the clouds etc (so do dentists to see plaque better). U can get one at any office supply store.\n\n 18. It doesn\u2019t really surprise me that the cops access information through back door means and then request a subpoena afterward. I don\u2019t work in law enforcement, but I work in an area that requests police checks and I have seen colleagues do police checks without authorization for expediency knowing that they will get the authorization later. Wrong, but unsurprising.\n\n The theory about the traffic stop is quite interesting. I am quite surprised that anyone has time or resources for that\n\n 19.

Now let\u2019s go prove it.\u201d Perhaps it was just Adnan\u2019s bad luck to be driving nearby using his phone on the wrong day.\n\n Another interesting catch on the phone call during Adnan\u2019s traffic stop, and the coincidental mistake on the ticket.\n\n Perhaps you should rename your blog viewfrom221b\u2026\n\n 13. Wonderful work. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Adnan became a particular person of interest to the police on Jan. 13th. Her disappearance was unusual and by all accounts, Officer Adcock\u2019s call to him that evening was received awkwardly. She was never seen again until her body was found and certainly her family must\u2019ve been in contact with the police during that period after reporting her missing. Maybe her brother shared serious concerns about Adnan because from what I\u2019ve read it sounds like he wasn\u2019t supportive of Hae\u2019s relationship with him. Who investigates missing persons? Detectives? The police or detectives had already examined Hae\u2019s diary and thus were privy to her on-again-off-again relationship with Adnan and all of her troubles with him, before her body was found \u2014 right? It seems to me that if the Lee family was staying in touch with the police, and presuming there was an active missing person\u2019s case, a picture of Adnan Syed as a suspicious person could\u2019ve been well-formed before she turned up deceased.\n\n 14. This is the first thing I thought of when reading this article \u2013 Parallel Construction:\n\n \u201cDrug Enforcement Administration training documents released to MuckRock user C.J. Ciaramella show how the agency constructs two chains of evidence to hide surveillance programs from defense teams, prosecutors, and a public wary of domestic intelligence practices.\u201d\n\n Also, this Reuters article:\n\n Just because they have now greatly enhanced their capabilities in this realm, that doesn\u2019t mean they weren\u2019t doing a more basic version of it back in the day\u2026\n\n \u2022 To me, this is exactly what the records are screaming. There is a nice paper trail that has been created to show how the cops supposedly got to each step of their investigation \u2014 but it doesn\u2019t actually add up. There are too many jumps forward without an explanation from the record as how to how the investigators arrived at a new bit of intel.\n\n This is why I suspect either a tower dump, an undisclosed witness, or both. If it was a tower dump, the chain went tower dump \u2013> find Adnan\u2019s cell number in return \u2014> unofficial request for Adnan\u2019s cellphone info \u2013> verify number belonged to Adnan \u2013> official request for cellphone info. But instead of a tower dump, there could have been a witness (someone came forward 2/9, 2/10, or 2/11, but wouldn\u2019t go on the official record?) who implicated Adnan in a way the detectives bought hook line and sinker, and they then went straight to the unofficial request for Adnan\u2019s info.\n\n Alternatively, rather than an unofficial request for cellphone info, there could have been an official request through alternative and unpreserved channels.\n\n For similar reasons, I believe that Jenn was the parallel construction for Jay. When the cops went to talk to Jenn, they already knew who she was, and knew that she knew Jay \u2014 even though the records they had only showed a number in her father\u2019s name. Why would they assume Jenn, and not Mark, was the one called? How would they know that Jay was the link between Adnan and the Pusateri residence? Well, if there\u2019d already gotten to Jay, they would have.\n\n 15. Susan, the seatbelt violation image shows Adnan\u2019s address. I assume his family still live there\u2013can you redact it?\n\n \u2022 I think Susan mentioned that both his name and address were incorrect \u2013 so perhaps that\u2019s why it was \u2018t redacted\n\n 16. I had a theory\u2026\n\n Others have wondered (including Rabia) that perhaps Jay was a CI.\n\n We may be looking at the wrong person. Perhaps someone in Jay\u2019s household was a CI (for DEA), and BCPD was encroaching on DEA\u2019s turf by investigating Adnan and Jay.\n\n So DEA \u201chinted\u201d at BCPD to investigate Adnan and leave Jay out of it.\n\n Which was basically what happened.\n\n Urick\u2019s link with narcotics unit would put him in contact with the DEA quite a bit, IIRC.\n\n I know, sounds so conspiratorial\u2026 But it potentially explains so many things!\n\n 17. Hint for help reading faded documents: you may already know that an old trick is to put a yellow filter over the document. Photographers use this to accent the clouds etc (so do dentists to see plaque better). U can get one at any office supply store.\n\n 18. It doesn\u2019t really surprise me that the cops access information through back door means and then request a subpoena afterward. I don\u2019t work in law enforcement, but I work in an area that requests police checks and I have seen colleagues do police checks without authorization for expediency knowing that they will get the authorization later. Wrong, but unsurprising.\n\n The theory about the traffic stop is quite interesting. I am quite surprised that anyone has time or resources for that\n\n 19. The most plausible explanation given existing evidence:\n\n Hae and Adnan talk the night before (as noted in the cell records) over something innocent but that requires her to stop by his house after school. (Maybe she wants a video tape to record her interview, maybe she doesn\u2019t have a VCR or cable and wants Adnan to record it for her). She doesn\u2019t mention this stop to her friends b/c a. it\u2019s fairly trivial b. she doesn\u2019t want people around school getting the wrong impression about her and Adnan. Adnan gets picked up by Jay after school. (Maybe this is the 2:36 call? Maybe Adnan did ask Hae for a ride home since she was going to stop by anyway and told Jay \u201cI\u2019ll either get a ride with Hae and you can pick me up at home, but if not, pick me up at school.\u201d But why wouldn\u2019t Hae just give him a ride? Maybe Adnan\u2019s running behind, maybe they just don\u2019t see each other after school, or maybe she doesn\u2019t want to b/c of the same reason she doesn\u2019t want to tell her friend she\u2019s stopping by Adnan\u2019s house\u2013wrong impression). Jay picks up Adnan and they head to his house (after all, the last thing you want to do between the", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 145604, "pt_loc": 208192512, "pt_shuffle_idx": 6798104, "doc_index_f": 10658418, "doc_index_l": 10658418, "offset_f": 12432, "offset_l": 14480, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 254, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": "shrewish-looking damsel, is in attendance on her._\n\nCLEOPATRA.\n\n[_Nervously._] Am I looking my best, Charmian?\n\nCHARMIAN.\n\n[_Sulkily._] Your majesty is looking as well as _I_ can make you.

She further explained\u00a0that marathons have now become geared towards any participant interested in improving their physical condition. Andrea Abbas (2004) added that marathon running is mainly a middle class activity because it values self-empowerment and nonaggressive bodily toughness. Some psychological studies provide motivational techniques for participation, other researchers focus on accounts of pain, injury, and suffering during an endurance event. Maylon Hanlon (2010)\u00a0found that pain and injury occupy a prominent place in distance runners\u2019understandings of themselves. Running is typically constructed as demanding, arduous, and injury prevalent and runners expect pain to be a normal part of their experience. For example, William Bridel and Genevieve Rail (2007) noted that self-identification as a 'runner' included adherence to rigorous training of which pain and injury were frequent and expected aspects.\n\nNo doubt these are all part of the embodied endurance event experiences of the participants, but such results paint a picture of distance running as a tortuous activity during which the participants get used to being in pain. Although there must be some enjoyable aspects of endurance running, few researchers focus on these. I want to highlight particularly women's experiences of endurance running to find out if running long distances is all about enduring pain and if it is, why do women voluntary engage in a painful and injury prone activity. As an example, I use Hanlon's study in which she\u00a0interviewed exclusively women ultramarathon runners.\n\nUltramarathon (any distance longer than a marathon, but the most common distances are 50k, 50 miles, 100k, and 100 miles) is an interesting event for women in several accounts. Hanlon observed that while not equaling the participation rates for marathons, women's participation rates in ultramarathon have increased sixfold since the 1980s. In addition, women excel in ultramarathon running: the overall winner of a race where participants are men and women can be a woman. One of Hanlon's participants remarked: \u201call of the top men have been beaten by all of the top women at some point in their racing careers\u201d. This does not happen in marathon running. Ultramarathons also differ from marathons in that they typically take place on unpaved roads or trails through forests and up and over mountain passes. To better understand why women are attracted to ultramarathons, Hanlon interviewed 8 very successful elite ultra runner women from the United States who consistently placed top five in nationally recognized races during 3 years.\n\nThese women came to ultrarunning through different backgrounds: while some where previous elite athletes (for example, in triathlon), some began their sporting career with ultramarathon. Different things attracted them to participate, but they also indicated that the prominent ultramarathon attitude centers around breaking down one's own barriers. One of the participants defined the meaning of participation as \"seeing one's limitlessness\" and the extraordinary things that can happen when one manages to break through the barrier of one's bodily ability during an endurance event. Following this sentiment, these extremely successful ultramarathoners did not value winning a race or obtaining a fast time, but finishing the race. The most feared thing was having the letters DNF (did not finish) printed after one's name in the results list of an event. Despite the prominent attitude that down played winning and valued participation, some of these runners did find successful placing in the results lists an increasing important aspects of their enjoyment in ultramarathon. For example, one participant defined success as \u201cwinning races and setting course records, but it\u2019s also really a sense of pushing myself beyond my preconceived limits.\u201d These runners found pushing the limits and finishing extreme running races empowering \u2013 a sense of achievement that made them feel good about themselves.\n\nPain was, nevertheless, a prominent aspect of ultra running. It was also something that needed to be overcome. One runner felt that \u201cto become a better ultrarunner, you\u2019ve got to be in discomfort. . . but that\u2019s good. Discomfort is not going to hurt me.\u201d Hanlon found that the women, nevertheless, described different levels of pain. Quite typically for runners, they distinguished between good and bad pain. The difference between them was negotiated based on how the pain affected their performance: Good pain was felt to be part of running a race, pain that allowed the participant to continue running. Bad pain resulted in injury which meant not finishing the race. The third level of pain was related to negotiating painful moments during the race in terms of enduring pain to get 'second, third, or fourth winds' during which one shifts from feeling very bad to feeling good. Hanlon noted the patient attitude that the women ultrarunners had to their feelings of discomfort. One asserted that it is \u201ca matter of surviving those lows and knowing they would pass.\u201d Another told herself during painful moments, \u201cIt\u2019s no big deal, you always live. You always come back from it, so don\u2019t worry about it.\u201d A third revealed that she tried to be conscious, but \"free with it [transitions] rather than fighting it\u2014not being caught up in one specific moment.\u201d\n\nWhile pushing one's limits by enduring pain was an important aspect of running, these participants also referred to the ideal, thin feminine body often associated with long distance running. This is the type of body often seen on such magazine covers as Runner's World. For example, one of the runners suspected that \u201ca lot of people get into ultra because they think it\u2019s going to give them a certain body\". Another refers to the marathon runners' body type observing that \"marathoners, road marathoners, when they are winning . . . the top people all look the same, either tall and very thin. Ultra\u00a0runners could be thought of having a similar type of body. Surprisingly, these runners did not find that there was a perfect ultramarathon body shape. They asserted, instead, that one cannot judge a successful ultrarunner based on her looks: they came in all body sizes from 'overweight' to thin and everything in between. This diversity made the participants feel good about current shape of their running bodies. For example, one participant explained: \u201cmy body type is more muscular and a little bit heavier than other runners. But it\u2019s who I am. I\u2019m not going to change that.\" Hanlon found that these successful ultramarathoners consciously created \"their bodies according to 'what works' rather than on the 'lean and muscular' shape of the normative running body\" (p. 179).\n\nIt is evident that running extremely long distances provided the women runners a sense of empowerment as they pushed their physical limits. It is also interesting that in our often sedentary society an engagement in physical activity is considered a way of pushing one's limits in favor of other demanding (such as mental) tasks. As physical inactivity has become more common place, we have perhaps started to value some physical prowess, such as extreme endurance running, more highly. Endurance feats of Ironman, marathon, and ultramarathon are, nevertheless, a part of most participants' leisure time. Few women earn a living as professional endurance athletes. The recreational participants, nevertheless, have a need to push their physical limits and while it might be painful, gain a sense of achievement that cannot be obtained elsewhere in their lives.\n\nPushing one's physical limits and the pain barrier need not, however, be everyone's goals. We exercise for several reasons and it is usually safer to avoid pain. In addition, our physical limits are different: it might be a major achievement for someone to walk for 30 minutes while for another, running for 5k is a huge accomplishment. We have plenty of choices regarding types of activity and we definitely enjoy very different forms of exercise for different reasons. It is, however, interesting that extreme physical endurance events have become more popular during our times when, on the other hand, many women remain entirely physically inactive.\n\nWorks cited:\n\nAbbas, A.

I suppose the report could come after the recalc. \u2013\u00a0 jjnguy Aug 13 '09 at 13:04\n@jjnguy: I don't think it knows about changes really, beyond the total change. It's just a rebuild from scratch, rather than a diff. \u2013\u00a0 Jon Skeet Aug 13 '09 at 13:06\nThanks Marc! I feel like I've been living a lie. Everyone should get a recalc.

So that I can serially downvote them? \u2013\u00a0 devinb Aug 13 '09 at 13:29\nHow is the false rep generated? How come recalculating it fixes it? Why the offset to begin with? \u2013\u00a0 juanformoso Aug 13 '09 at 13:44\nWhy shouldn't we have a daily recalc for every user? It just makes the rep system more consistent. Is the cost really that high? \u2013\u00a0 LeakyCode Aug 14 '09 at 21:36\n\n6 Answers 6\n\nup vote 60 down vote accepted\n\nThis will go out with our next build.\n\nWe don't really intend the average user to go hog wild with this one, so its pretty well hidden.\n\nGo to the existing reputation audit, there are now suitably ghetto instructions on how to trigger an immediate reputation recalc at the very bottom of the report.\n\nNote that you can only do this once every 24 hours.\n\nshare|improve this answer\nNice! Maybe, to avoid confusion (unless there's already some error message in place) add that 24 hour limit to the To trigger a reputation recalc [..] message too? \u2013\u00a0 Arjan Dec 8 '10 at 11:43\nAnd, given for example Manual rep recalc (new user) - lost 1000 points - nothing in audit re associated accounts?, what about adding a hint (or a real button!) to first save the current reputation overview before clicking that button? I guess folks could then figure out what changed themselves, using the previous and new overview. \u2013\u00a0 Arjan Dec 14 '10 at 12:17\nOh, never mind I guess, if my new understanding is correct: the report is the actual state, and hence represents the new reputation that will be shown in the header after triggering the recalc. (Mine said total rep 4081 while the header showed 4,360. After clicking the button the report did not change, but the header did.) \u2013\u00a0 Arjan Dec 14 '10 at 13:16\nThis new facility is useful. Has any thought been given to automatically doing a recalc daily, or every couple of days, or even weekly, for the top users (say the first two or three pages)? I'm not sure whether we're more vulnerable to losing rep over a recalc, but I seem to accumulate 100 excess points every week or two, and I don't know whether other people request recalcs regularly to keep this under control. (I've not worked out where the points go - or how they arrive erroneously.) \u2013\u00a0 Jonathan Leffler Dec 27 '10 at 9:04\nHow long does it usually take for the reputation screen (on the profile view) to synchronize with the actual /reputation data after I've triggered the \"rep recalc\"? \u2013\u00a0 Idolon Dec 7 '11 at 16:13\nDoes this still exist? An update would be nice. \u2013\u00a0 Tim Dec 26 '14 at 17:05\n@Tim rep recalcs are usual instant now. In the rare cases that they can't be done in realtime, they're re-run daily. I'll try to dig up a reference for the answer... \u2013\u00a0 Kevin Montrose Dec 26 '14 at 17:07\nCan mod's recalc someone's rep? I'm updating this atm. \u2013\u00a0 Tim Dec 26 '14 at 17:10\n\nThis is another issue that would be fixed by sanitizing the reputation system so things like order of votes didn't matter but being as that hasn't happened, I think this would be useful too.\n\nIf necessary apply limits like minimum rep (eg 5000) and limit how often (eg once per day).\n\nshare|improve this answer\nMaking the site work?

When we want to know what the world is like, we look around us, listen, taste, smell, touch. Even scientific experiments depend on the senses. We mix two chemicals and observe what results, or we let some ball bearings drop and observe how they behave. Descartes would like this heavy reliance on sensory observation to stop. He admits that for some knowledge the senses are required. For example, I could not know what books were on my desk if I did not use my eyes to check. However, he does not believe that we need sensory input when doing science. In fact, he is convinced that the senses only mislead us in scientific endeavors. Science, he feels, should proceed strictly by tracing logical connections between ideas of the intellect, not by observation. The senses do not even initially provide us with the ideas that we use in this reasoning. We are born with them already in our intellect.\n\nDescartes, therefore, begins the Principles with two skeptical worries meant to undermine our faith in the senses. He points out, first, that our senses systematically mislead us. For example, when we view a straight stick through water, it looks bent; when we view things from a distance we tend to see them as much smaller than they are, or even as a different shape. Not only are the senses periodically unreliable, however, they are also constantly and stubbornly unbelievable. When we sleep we often have sensations indistinguishable from those that we have when we are awake. We admit that those dreaming sensations do not correspond to reality, so why are we any more certain of our waking sensations? How do we know that any particular sensation we have is not a dream? We cannot. Therefore, Descartes concludes, better not to rely on the sensations at all, at least not when you are after certain knowledge (such as in science).\n\nClear and Distinct Perceptions\n\nIn our quest for knowledge, Descartes' suggests that we rely on pure intellectual ideas. By taking stock of these ideas and then deducing their logical results, we can arrive at all possible human knowledge. However, we must be careful not to start the process of reasoning from any old ideas we find in the intellect. Judgments can only be certain when the ideas concerned are clear and distinct. Only when a perception is clear and distinct can we proceed from that perception to knowledge. Clear and distinct perceptions, therefore, are the single most important tool in Descartes' toolkit.\n\nA clear and distinct perception is just a perception to which one cannot fail to assent. So long as you are entertaining the notion, you cannot doubt it without landing yourself in a logical incoherence. So, for example, the perception that two plus two equals four would count as a clear and distinct perception. So long as you are aware of the meaning of the terms involved, you cannot coherently doubt the truth of this claim. Descartes believes that the same phenomena holds true of propositions such as \"nothing can exist and not exist at the same time,\" and the ever-popular \"I think, therefore I am.\"\n\nThough you cannot doubt clear and distinct perceptions as long as they are before your mind, once they fall out of your awareness, doubt can creep back in. If you have stopped entertaining the proposition that two plus two equals four, but only remember the conclusion you reached, then you might begin to doubt the legitimacy of the conclusion. You might wonder whether your reasoning was really as airtight as you had thought while it was taking place, perhaps whether some evil scientist was responsible for putting that thought in your mind. Obviously, as long as doubt can keep creeping back in whenever a clear and distinct perception falls out of awareness, clear and distinct perceptions are not going to be much help in the search for knowledge.\n\nDescartes, therefore, appeals to God in order to guarantee the truth of clear and distinct perceptions, so that we can believe in them even after we have stopped entertaining them.

God, he claims, created us and, thus, also our faculty of reason. He is, therefore, responsible for our clear and distinct perceptions. In addition to being our creator, God is also infinitely perfect. If our clear and distinct perceptions were not trustworthy, though, God would be far from perfect. He would be a deceiver, mean and malicious. An infinitely perfect God would never give us a faculty that presented perceptions as indubitably true when really they were false. Therefore, we can trust our clear and distinct perceptions. So long as we remember that a conclusion was reached through a perception that was clear and distinct (i.e. indubitable) while it was going on, we can be absolutely certain that the conclusion is true.\n\nBody As Extended Substance\n\nPerhaps the most important clear and distinct perception of all is the perception that extension is the essence of body. It is this perception that enables all of Descartes' physics.\n\nTo say that the essence of body is extension is not just to say that extension is the most important property of body. Rather, it is to say that body simply is extension. What it is to be a body, is to be an extended thing.

There are no screens, and I would like to open them but humid air comes in with or without insects.\u00a0 So I use the air conditioner.\u00a0 It's where the wall and ceiling come together;\u00a0 it has a remote control and you can dial-a-temp;\u00a0 It also has a fan in the air conditioner.\u00a0 Then there's the heavy duty ceiling fan, which is great except when you're trying to sleep.\u00a0 I think we'll use a combination of them, until you decide which is more comfortable for you.\u00a0\nAnyway, back to the windows.\u00a0 From my view I can see the cows grazing, the chickens roosting and how the vegetable garden is coming.\u00a0 We thought there wasn't going to be a garden for awhile, because the young man hired to be the farmer let the seed potatoes rot and basically did nothing for his wages.\u00a0 The diocese bought a tractor and when I came it was left in the mud under some trees. The farmer lost his job, of course, and there was no one to replace him for several months.\u00a0 This is prime planting season for the winter crop.\u00a0 Well, the new farmer hit the ground running, planting tomatoes, chilies, cauliflower, eggplant and other vegetables.\u00a0 Then THE CREW attacked the tractor.\u00a0 The bad farmer had stolen all the tools from the tractor, and it had tires that were like cleats.\u00a0 then I saw real tires on it, and a bunch of us went to cheer THE CREW on.\u00a0 A farm machinery expert was there.\u00a0 It's a crank motor, so several of the young men and boys had to learn how to crank it fast enough.\u00a0 Then there's the whole carburetor deal, and the Bishop's wife (who knows about machinery and engines)\u00a0 tweaked something, and with five other 'consultants' it was running in five minutes.\u00a0 Now, how to plough ground?\u00a0 I saw three kids about 12 sitting on a plank with three nails in the dirt, being the furrow-makers.\u00a0 Now almost all of it is ploughed and planted.\u00a0 We hope that in a few years we can grow most of our own food, especially potatoes, since that is such a staple.\n\nBack to my room.\u00a0 When I'm in the bed, I look directly at a kitchen sink and a marble cabinet top.\u00a0 it could be turned into a little kitchen, but it hasn't been yet.\u00a0 So I look around my room.\u00a0 I bought a neat steel desk with three drawers and an office chair.\u00a0 I also bought a steel armoire which is painted to look like honey oak\u00a0 Pretty good resemblance. There is a door with a full length mirror (the girls come in all the time to look at themselves and laugh.)\u00a0 There are three shelves in it for tops, slacks, underwear, etc. but not a place to .hang anything. There's another door below it.\u00a0 The other side looks somewhat like a clothes stand, but it's challenging to hang anything there, although my hangers fit on the top rung.\u00a0 Below that is a glass sliding door about 8 inches high and then another much larger space\u00a0 below where the door works like a barrister bookcase.\u00a0 I have a really good desk chair and another plastic chair for you to sit in.\n\nDo you need to 'freshen up?'\u00a0 Most non-Indians (including myself at first) do not understand all the possibilities in this room.\u00a0 There's a fine toilet, and corner sink.\u00a0 The hardware is the standard of Kohler: solid and beautiful.\u00a0 You say, \"Where can I take my bath?\"\u00a0 You can't.\u00a0 There's a five gallon plastic tub and another 3 cup pitcher.\u00a0 There's also a spiral shower head like we have, and then you're on your own for awhile.\u00a0 All the other knobs produce water of all kinds from several different places.\u00a0 You can get hot water if you use the 'geezer' high above all the plumbing and turn it on.\u00a0 It heats the water, but I had months of cold showers before someone told me how to use it.\u00a0 They're kind of bracing, if you don't think about it.\u00a0 If you want to use the tubs, fill them with as much water as you need. Use your scrubbee, lather up good and there you are clean.\u00a0 You use the little pitcher to rinse yourself off with, and go back into the tub for some more water.\u00a0 The system works well, and you use very little water.\u00a0 I use the shower head to wash my hair.\u00a0 Now here's the neat part.\u00a0 If there's no tub, where does the water run out?\u00a0 The floor is slightly raked to the back of the room where the toilet is. There is a very large pipe connecting to the outside.\u00a0 You just pour your buckets of water toward the toilet, and it just runs down the pipe until it reaches the gutter below.\u00a0 Now that we've had tea and you got a chance to freshen up, how about we walk to the market?\n\n\n1 comment:<|endoftext|>There's no question of my ever leaving\nthem.

Every young designers have becoming too obsessed about looking so minimal and aesthetic that they forgot that content of a website is also another aesthetic value. They are so absorbed in limiting words just to maintain the minimal look of their web design. Informative content is highly important as they have a greater chance to reach a high amount of people. You should let visitors to enjoy staying at your website for a long period. Content is the way to let people spend so much time on your website. Imagine when your web design is just full of empty spaces and images. Don\u2019t you think that they will just sit there, scroll down and less than 5 minutes, they would hop onto another website? But too much words can also be deceiving.\n\n\nMobile version\n\nMobile-friendly has to be a part of the web design language as 70% of users would normally use their mobile phones to look for something or surfing the browser. Sometimes the world is too modern that people can just order groceries from a few clicks on their mobile phones. They have to create a mobile version one yet making every CTA button functional. This will help increasing the number of visitors and the period of time spent by them. No more slow visitors traffic. Another reason is because not all desktop version is compatible with all mobile electronic devices. That is why you have to build it separately and making sure that every button can be used. At certain times, designers forgot to make those buttons functional.\n\n\nAll in all, those are the few errors that a designer and developer tend to make and have to go through. Before making your website visibly online, have a few recheck. Anyway, if you in need of someone to assist with your web design, make sure to consult with web design Malaysia as they are very keen and helpful. Besides, they are a group of professional people that are expertised in web development, SEO, and marketing your business.\n\n\nThose are the simplest mistakes that probably a lot of us can automatically detect. But mistakes can be the things, the content and the input.

When you enter my room you see two twin beds looking like fourposters and vinyl flooring looking like laminate wood.\u00a0 One bed I use as a flat surface to put books, shawls, computer case.\u00a0 The other one which I sleep in has mosquito netting, which fits over the top of the fourposter and comes all the way to the floor.\u00a0 In the twenty first century mosquito netting is colored and printed so mine is pink with large flowers on it,\u00a0 Very well designed and easy to work with.\u00a0 Between the beds is a little side table, which has our electric water heater.\u00a0 I have coffee and tea but no milk, since I don't have a fridge.\u00a0 Should I try getting used to powdered milk?\u00a0 We can have cookies, but if we don't eat them all or dispose of them properly, the sugar ants will come in droves.\u00a0 Ah, the lessons one has to learn.\u00a0\n\nThere are three panels of windows which face the west, sort of, and there are curtains which block out the light pretty well.\u00a0 Our backyard meets St. Michael's School, where I teach.\u00a0 I can usually hear raucous noise from about 7 am (kids screaming with joy?) There are no screens, and I would like to open them but humid air comes in with or without insects.\u00a0 So I use the air conditioner.\u00a0 It's where the wall and ceiling come together;\u00a0 it has a remote control and you can dial-a-temp;\u00a0 It also has a fan in the air conditioner.\u00a0 Then there's the heavy duty ceiling fan, which is great except when you're trying to sleep.\u00a0 I think we'll use a combination of them, until you decide which is more comfortable for you.\u00a0\nAnyway, back to the windows.\u00a0 From my view I can see the cows grazing, the chickens roosting and how the vegetable garden is coming.\u00a0 We thought there wasn't going to be a garden for awhile, because the young man hired to be the farmer let the seed potatoes rot and basically did nothing for his wages.\u00a0 The diocese bought a tractor and when I came it was left in the mud under some trees. The farmer lost his job, of course, and there was no one to replace him for several months.\u00a0 This is prime planting season for the winter crop.\u00a0 Well, the new farmer hit the ground running, planting tomatoes, chilies, cauliflower, eggplant and other vegetables.\u00a0 Then THE CREW attacked the tractor.\u00a0 The bad farmer had stolen all the tools from the tractor, and it had tires that were like cleats.\u00a0 then I saw real tires on it, and a bunch of us went to cheer THE CREW on.\u00a0 A farm machinery expert was there.\u00a0 It's a crank motor, so several of the young men and boys had to learn how to crank it fast enough.\u00a0 Then there's the whole carburetor deal, and the Bishop's wife (who knows about machinery and engines)\u00a0 tweaked something, and with five other 'consultants' it was running in five minutes.\u00a0 Now, how to plough ground?\u00a0 I saw three kids about 12 sitting on a plank with three nails in the dirt, being the furrow-makers.\u00a0 Now almost all of it is ploughed and planted.\u00a0 We hope that in a few years we can grow most of our own food, especially potatoes, since that is such a staple.\n\nBack to my room.\u00a0 When I'm in the bed, I look directly at a kitchen sink and a marble cabinet top.\u00a0 it could be turned into a little kitchen, but it hasn't been yet.\u00a0 So I look around my room.\u00a0 I bought a neat steel desk with three drawers and an office chair.\u00a0 I also bought a steel armoire which is painted to look like honey oak\u00a0 Pretty good resemblance. There is a door with a full length mirror (the girls come in all the time to look at themselves and laugh.)\u00a0 There are three shelves in it for tops, slacks, underwear, etc. but not a place to .hang anything. There's another door below it.\u00a0 The other side looks somewhat like a clothes stand, but it's challenging to hang anything there, although my hangers fit on the top rung.\u00a0 Below that is a glass sliding door about 8 inches high and then another much larger space\u00a0 below where the door works like a barrister bookcase.\u00a0 I have a really good desk chair and another plastic chair for you to sit in.\n\nDo you need to 'freshen up?'\u00a0 Most non-Indians (including myself at first) do not understand all the possibilities in this room.\u00a0 There's a fine toilet, and corner sink.\u00a0 The hardware is the standard of Kohler: solid and beautiful.\u00a0 You say, \"Where can I take my bath?\"\u00a0 You can't.\u00a0 There's a five gallon plastic tub and another 3 cup pitcher.\u00a0 There's also a spiral shower head like we have, and then you're on your own for awhile.\u00a0 All the other knobs produce water of all kinds from several different places.\u00a0 You can get hot water if you use the 'geezer' high above all the plumbing and turn it on.\u00a0 It heats the water, but I had months of cold showers before someone told me how to use it.\u00a0 They're kind of bracing, if you don't think about it.\u00a0 If you want to use the tubs, fill them with as much water as you need. Use your scrubbee, lather up good and there you are clean.\u00a0 You use the little pitcher to rinse yourself off with, and go back into the tub for some more water.\u00a0 The system works well, and you use very little water.\u00a0 I use the shower head to wash my hair.\u00a0 Now here's the neat part.\u00a0 If there's no tub, where does the water run out?\u00a0 The floor is slightly raked to the back of the room where the toilet is. There is a very large pipe connecting to the outside.\u00a0 You just pour your buckets of water toward the toilet, and it just runs down the pipe until it reaches the gutter below.\u00a0 Now that we've had tea and you got a chance to freshen up, how about we walk to the market?\n\n\n1 comment:<|endoftext|>How To Detect A Bad Web Design\n\n\nFor sure that hip and trendy has becoming language of the youth. Every young designers have becoming too obsessed about looking so minimal and aesthetic that they forgot that content of a website is also another aesthetic value. They are so absorbed in limiting words just to maintain the minimal look of their web design. Informative content is highly important as they have a greater chance to reach a high amount of people. You should let visitors to enjoy staying at your website for a long period. Content is the way to let people spend so much time on your website. Imagine when your web design is just full of empty spaces and images. Don\u2019t you think that they will just sit there, scroll down and less than 5 minutes, they would hop onto another website? But too much words can also be deceiving.\n\n\nMobile version\n\nMobile-friendly has to be a part of the web design language as 70% of users would normally use their mobile phones to look for something or surfing the browser. Sometimes the world is too modern that people can just order groceries from a few clicks on their mobile phones. They have to create a mobile version one yet making every CTA button functional. This will help increasing the number of visitors and the period of time spent by them. No more slow visitors traffic. Another reason is because not all desktop version is compatible with all mobile electronic devices. That is why you have to build it separately and making sure that every button can be used. At certain times, designers forgot to make those buttons functional.\n\n\nAll in all, those are the few errors that a designer and developer tend to make and have to go through. Before making your website visibly online, have a few recheck. Anyway, if you in need of someone to assist with your web design, make sure to consult with web design Malaysia as they are very keen and helpful. Besides, they are a group of professional people that are expertised in web development, SEO, and marketing your business.\n\n\nThose are the simplest mistakes that probably a lot of us can automatically detect. But mistakes can be the things, the content and the input. It\u2019s not just about the coding language mistakes.<|endoftext|>Thursday, October 09, 2008\n\nA \"Public Affairs,\" virtual debate with Manzullo and Abboud tonight on Cable in Rockford, et al, and Streaming\n\n\u201cPublic Affairs,\u201d interviews with Congressman Don Manzullo (R-Egan) and his Democratic opponent, Robert Abboud, Barrington Hills Village President, air this evening in Rockford and other 16th Cong.

Finally, let\u2019s take a look at a smart contract system for the employment agreement mentioned earlier.\n\nExample: an employment smart contract\n\nThe parties involved in an employment agreement are:\n\n \u2022 The employee\n \u2022 The employer\n \u2022 The taxman\u200a\u2014\u200awe can\u2019t forget about him, can we?\n\nBefore the employment agreement takes effect, both the employee and the employer must make a deposit into the smart contract itself. This is a refundable deposit and both parties will get their deposit back if the contract is terminated correctly. If any party misbehaves, their deposit could be awarded to the other party as compensation.\n\nThe employee\u2019s salary is agreed and input into the smart contract itself. The employer must always have deposited enough money to cover the employee\u2019s next wage but the employee won\u2019t be able to withdraw their money until after payday. If the money due is not there yet by payday, the employee can terminate the contract and take the employer\u2019s deposit. Furthermore, there is also an agreement about notice periods and probation periods. The employer can\u2019t terminate the contract without also paying for the effective notice period because otherwise they lose their deposit.\n\nThe government might want to ensure that it collects the tax due to it to consider the agreement legal. To do this, a separate contract can be deployed that defines an Income Tax Scheme. Smart contracts on the Ethereum platform can actually communicate with each other. Therefore the employment smart contract can declare the employee\u2019s income on the tax scheme contract and even allow the employee to pay the tax due immediately. If the employee takes up a different employment contract in the future, the same tax scheme smart contract is used so their previous tax payments are recorded and the correct tax calculations can be made.\n\nA problem still exists with the above smart contract. It is difficult for the smart contract to determine whether the employee is doing their job well. A solution for this is admittedly hard to find but a possible way to resolve this is to try and achieve\u00a0consensus\u00a0between the employee and the employer. If they both agree that the employee is not performing well, then the employee gets, say, half of their deposit back. Otherwise, if they still can\u2019t agree, the case is put to a vote in public. The public (which is not a centralized entity!) will decide who is in the right and who is in the wrong. Whoever wins gets their deposit back. Whoever loses, loses their deposit which gets distributed amongst the voters for their time as a reward.\n\nLooking to the future\n\nThe smart contract system described above is only a tiny sneak peak of what is possible using decentralized computation and smart contracts. At the extreme, we can have entire nation-wide elections and governments being run using smart contracts. I invite the reader to think about which chains of trust they\u2019re involved in and encourage people to eliminate these chains using blockchain technologies. Through our efforts and with a little bit of help from technology on the side, we could finally have a society that is fair and just for all.\n\nContent provided by Kyle Pullicino, Kyle is a consultant on blockchain for Grant Thornton Malta, with experience in financial and betting systems.

Ivan Valencia\n\n2016 was the year the people made their voice heard, a year of great referendums. Among others, we saw the Brexit referendum in the United Kingdom, the mass rejection of the peace agreement in Colombia, Hungary\u2019s refusal to accept EU refugee quotas, Thailand constitutionally solidifying its coup regime, and the rejection of the Italian government\u2019s proposed constitutional reforms. But in so many cases, it seems hard to stomach what they\u2019re saying.\n\nFor the Left, there\u2019s a vague idea that we ought to quite like referendums. The yes-or-no choice represents a kind of popular self-determination without any of the usual excrescences of the political: no gurning, grinning, awful electoral figureheads with a filmy residue of malice glossing their TV-ready faces; none of the antidemocratic abstractions of parliamentary seats or electoral colleges; no need to choose the lesser evil \u2014 nothing but the people and their sovereign decision.\n\nAfter all, wouldn\u2019t any real, direct, non-representative democracy look something like rule by referendum; the Athenian council reconstructed, possibly using some kind of app, in the shining postmodern enlightenment of the twenty-first century?\n\nSo it\u2019s sometimes baffling how many of these referendums seem to be going so badly wrong.\n\nItaly is an outlier. Its referendum result does seem to be genuinely progressive. But despite this it could still be claimed as a victory for the far right. Watching recent developments in Italy through the international press, something very strange quickly became apparent: nobody writing about it seemed to have any idea what the referendum was actually about.\n\nThis wasn\u2019t just the media\u2019s usual ellipsis, although that was present too. (Renzi\u2019s attack on workers\u2019 rights in Italy was almost invariably shrouded under the name of \u201ceconomic reforms,\u201d and the trashing of the Constitution \u2014 an antifascist text, constructed in the rubble of World War II to hold back executive power \u2014 needed to push such measures through Parliament was just a dry piece of wonkish tinkering).\n\nThe victory for \u201cNo\u201d was vast but vague. Voters were clearly saying no to something, but it was hard to say what they were saying no to. Clearly it wasn\u2019t just the revision of Title V of Part II of the Constitution, or even the sitting government. That \u201cno\u201d gained a life of its own, becoming a soaring \u201cno\u201d to everything in existence, to be filed alongside all those other \u201cno\u201ds of 2016 that had grown to engulf the original question and unbalance the world.\n\nBut what comes out of that \u201cno\u201d? The new Italian prime minister, Paolo Gentiloni, is not a radical socialist; the assault on the Italian working classes is unlikely to let up. There are shades here of last year\u2019s referendum in Greece, in which the overwhelming majority of the population voted against the troika\u2019s austerity measures, only for the Syriza government to then submit a set of proposals that mirrored them in every detail.\n\nIt might be time to start questioning seriously what good referendums really can do for the Left, and how democratic they really are.\n\nThere\u2019s an established liberal critique of the referendum: these things bypass the orderly representative institutions; they\u2019re unstable, it\u2019s mob rule, an unstable excess of democracy. But the reality is in many ways precisely the reverse: the referendum is not at all democratic, but far too stable and too orderly. Democracy is rule by the people, and the referendum doesn\u2019t give sovereignty to the people, but to the abstract principle of number.\n\nIf we are to have any conception of the people as a collective subject, it\u2019s something that brings itself into being through communal struggles. Ten thousand people sitting at home and bickering about politics with their families are just the public, a low, undulating field of opinion and indifference. Bring them all together in a central square to fight for the same thing, and they might plausibly lay claim to being the people.\n\nIn a referendum, struggles usually don\u2019t emerge out of people\u2019s actual experiences of life and capitalism \u2014 they\u2019re ordained by the state. Governments rarely call a referendum unless they expect to win: it", "base_doc": " the membership smart contract and she\u00a0automatically\u00a0gets a vote in future proposals.

Whoever loses, loses their deposit which gets distributed amongst the voters for their time as a reward.\n\nLooking to the future\n\nThe smart contract system described above is only a tiny sneak peak of what is possible using decentralized computation and smart contracts. At the extreme, we can have entire nation-wide elections and governments being run using smart contracts. I invite the reader to think about which chains of trust they\u2019re involved in and encourage people to eliminate these chains using blockchain technologies. Through our efforts and with a little bit of help from technology on the side, we could finally have a society that is fair and just for all.\n\nContent provided by Kyle Pullicino, Kyle is a consultant on blockchain for Grant Thornton Malta, with experience in financial and betting systems.

Ivan Valencia\n\n2016 was the year the people made their voice heard, a year of great referendums. Among others, we saw the Brexit referendum in the United Kingdom, the mass rejection of the peace agreement in Colombia, Hungary\u2019s refusal to accept EU refugee quotas, Thailand constitutionally solidifying its coup regime, and the rejection of the Italian government\u2019s proposed constitutional reforms. But in so many cases, it seems hard to stomach what they\u2019re saying.\n\nFor the Left, there\u2019s a vague idea that we ought to quite like referendums. The yes-or-no choice represents a kind of popular self-determination without any of the usual excrescences of the political: no gurning, grinning, awful electoral figureheads with a filmy residue of malice glossing their TV-ready faces; none of the antidemocratic abstractions of parliamentary seats or electoral colleges; no need to choose the lesser evil \u2014 nothing but the people and their sovereign decision.\n\nAfter all, wouldn\u2019t any real, direct, non-representative democracy look something like rule by referendum; the Athenian council reconstructed, possibly using some kind of app, in the shining postmodern enlightenment of the twenty-first century?\n\nSo it\u2019s sometimes baffling how many of these referendums seem to be going so badly wrong.\n\nItaly is an outlier. Its referendum result does seem to be genuinely progressive. But despite this it could still be claimed as a victory for the far right. Watching recent developments in Italy through the international press, something very strange quickly became apparent: nobody writing about it seemed to have any idea what the referendum was actually about.\n\nThis wasn\u2019t just the media\u2019s usual ellipsis, although that was present too. (Renzi\u2019s attack on workers\u2019 rights in Italy was almost invariably shrouded under the name of \u201ceconomic reforms,\u201d and the trashing of the Constitution \u2014 an antifascist text, constructed in the rubble of World War II to hold back executive power \u2014 needed to push such measures through Parliament was just a dry piece of wonkish tinkering).\n\nThe victory for \u201cNo\u201d was vast but vague. Voters were clearly saying no to something, but it was hard to say what they were saying no to. Clearly it wasn\u2019t just the revision of Title V of Part II of the Constitution, or even the sitting government. That \u201cno\u201d gained a life of its own, becoming a soaring \u201cno\u201d to everything in existence, to be filed alongside all those other \u201cno\u201ds of 2016 that had grown to engulf the original question and unbalance the world.\n\nBut what comes out of that \u201cno\u201d? The new Italian prime minister, Paolo Gentiloni, is not a radical socialist; the assault on the Italian working classes is unlikely to let up. There are shades here of last year\u2019s referendum in Greece, in which the overwhelming majority of the population voted against the troika\u2019s austerity measures, only for the Syriza government to then submit a set of proposals that mirrored them in every detail.\n\nIt might be time to start questioning seriously what good referendums really can do for the Left, and how democratic they really are.\n\nThere\u2019s an established liberal critique of the referendum: these things bypass the orderly representative institutions; they\u2019re unstable, it\u2019s mob rule, an unstable excess of democracy. But the reality is in many ways precisely the reverse: the referendum is not at all democratic, but far too stable and too orderly. Democracy is rule by the people, and the referendum doesn\u2019t give sovereignty to the people, but to the abstract principle of number.\n\nIf we are to have any conception of the people as a collective subject, it\u2019s something that brings itself into being through communal struggles. Ten thousand people sitting at home and bickering about politics with their families are just the public, a low, undulating field of opinion and indifference. Bring them all together in a central square to fight for the same thing, and they might plausibly lay claim to being the people.\n\nIn a referendum, struggles usually don\u2019t emerge out of people\u2019s actual experiences of life and capitalism \u2014 they\u2019re ordained by the state. Governments rarely call a referendum unless they expect to win: it\u2019s the invention of a plastic and prosthetic collective subject, and victory is simply a matter of having the biggest number. Instead of the urgency of the demand for justice, you get a glorified census, a math problem.\n\nRule-by-numbers obscures all human subjectivity behind its arithmetic. In Colombia, for instance, those living in areas affected by the civil war \u2014 who lost the most from continued battles between the FARC and the government \u2014\u00a0overwhelmingly voted for a peace settlement, but their votes were cancelled out by the urban bourgeoisie, swayed by the far right who had little to lose.\n\nReferendums approach every human being as a single, fungible monad. They hide all the political determinations that structure our lives; they pretend, briefly, that everyone is free. But we are not. Everywhere, people are still denied basic autonomy over their own lives. All the domination that surrounds us doesn\u2019t suddenly disappear when we walk into the polling booth. When we vote, our powerlessness just takes on a different form.\n\nOf course, people do still sometimes fail to vote the way the state wants them to. In 2016, they\u2019ve done it with greater fury and viciousness than ever before. But the results haven\u2019t been pretty. For a left which has spent years fighting against the pale non-politics of neoliberalism, austerity, and globalized financial capitalism, this last year has been a shock: in referendums and elections, voters have rejected these things in droves,", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 160328, "pt_loc": 47822975, "pt_shuffle_idx": 234779834, "doc_index_f": 368018662, "doc_index_l": 368018663, "offset_f": 817, "offset_l": 1261, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 321, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [787, 1262]} +{"pt_doc": "a happy thing.

As such, it is important to have an adequate supply of clean water at all times.\n\nUnfortunately, most natural water sources like rivers or lakes do not contain clean water that is safe for human consumption. Luckily, with a Sawyer gravity filtration system, people can enjoy clean water anywhere and anytime.\n\nSawyer Gravity Filtration System\n\nWhat is The Sawyer Gravity Filtration System?\n\nThe Sawyer 1 Gallon Gravity System is a type of gravity filter that purifies contaminated water on the go. It is a quick and easy way to filter enough water in a base camp or a remote backcountry location. Since it weighs only 8.3 oz., carrying it outdoors is quite easy.\n\nThe Sawyer gravity filtration system package contains a 1-gallon water reservoir, hose, adapters, Sawyer micro water filter, and a syringe for cleaning the filter. Surprisingly, even with all these amazing features, this filtration system costs only 40 dollars.\n\nAbout Gravity Filters\n\nA gravity water filter uses gravity to filter polluted or contaminated water. There are two chambers in the filter, the top chamber, and the bottom chamber. The upper chamber is where dirty water is put for filtration. On the other hand, the lower chamber serves as the finish line, where the contaminated water will be transformed into filtered water.\n\nThe gravity water filter\u2019s upper chamber contains an element that handles the filtration of your contaminated water. That element is made up of minute pores that prevent impurities and other pollutants from passing through, leaving only water to pass through to the lower chamber. After this process, clean water that is free from residues is generated.\n\nA gravity filtration system has the advantage of not requiring any pumping, squeezing, or waiting time to obtain filtered or treated water. Simply fill the dirty reservoir with water and let gravity pull it through the hose. Because of this, the filtration system is perfect for filtering water for a large number of people. Additionally, it perfectly saves time during camping creating time for other activities such as setting up a tent or making a fire.\n\nProduct Features\n\nSawyer\u2019s 1-Gallon Gravity System with dual-threaded MINI filter is:\n\n\u2022 Lightweight\n\u2022 Durable option\n\u2022 Filters large amounts of water\n\u2022 Filtration takes as little as 7 minutes\n\u2022 Excellent for emergency preparedness as well as backcountry camping and backpacking\n\nHere are details of the system\u2019s specific features:\n\nThe Sawyer Mini Water Filter\n\nThe Sawyer gravity filtration system included with the unit is a new type of Sawyer Mini water filter, which makes the system work even better. It is similar to the Sawyer Squeeze water filter, with threads on both sides. When travelers or hikers are done filtering water and they want to suspend the grates, they may switch off the flow using the valve on the output side of this double-threaded Mini.\n\nThe Mini is a dual-threaded micron hollow fiber filter that physically removes almost every bacteria in the water. It gets rid of all salmonella, cholera, and protozoa. The filter can do its work in under seven minutes, even though other systems in the market take a shorter time.\n\nIf the filter becomes clogged as a result of contaminants, it can be back-flushed by inserting the tip of a plastic syringe filled with water into the filter\u2019s output side. Luckily, the plastic syringe comes as part of the package when the system is purchased. This helps to clean it out and enhance the flow rate. The Mini is rated to last long if properly cared for and cleaned regularly.\n\nThe Single Gallon Reservoir\n\nThe water reservoir for this filter system has a large aperture on one end for filling and a small opening on the other for putting in a filtration line. Moreover, the bag is made of a strong, non-pliable plastic that makes rolling it up in a backpack difficult. Because it isn\u2019t gusseted on the bottom, it won\u2019t stand up on a picnic bench and must be hung up or laid flat when filtering. Most importantly, the reservoir is large enough to accommodate a whole gallon of water.\n\nWhile having a large hole for filling is convenient, it comes at a cost. Unlike other smaller filters, people cannot expect the reservoir to fill up by dumping the bag into a shallow water source. Because the walls are made of softer plastic, it\u2019s not as hard as other bottle filters. The only way to fill the 1-gallon bag is to pour water into it from the top with a separate container or holding container.\n\nUnfortunately, the reservoir is not made like those of other filters. This is because it is colored on the outside, making it hard to see through it. The fact that the reservoir is opaque and not transparent makes it hard to see how much water remains. As a result, it is hard to approximate refilling time especially when camping. Additionally, it is almost impossible to tell how clean or dirty the collected water is, and whether filtering was effective. Notably, this feature may make buyers prefer transparent filter systems over this one.\n\nWhile camping or hiking outdoors, water filters are normally hanged somewhere like on a tree. Unfortunately, the Sawyer gravity filtration system does not come with hanging lanyards. As a result, it becomes hard to find a perfect place to place the filtration system. Moreover, most forests contain twigs and other objects that could ruin the system if it is not placed in a safe place. That said, this is a feature that the company should look into before developing an upgraded version of the filtration system.\n\nProduct Accessories\n\nThe Sawyer gravity filtration system comes with various accessories. These include inline hydration adapters, cleaning coupling, plastic tubing, a plastic syringe, and cleaning coupling. The plastic syringe is meant for back-flushing the system in case the filters clog with dirt. Luckily, most of these accessories come with the product, but can also be bought separately if they get misplaced.\n\nIs the Sawyer Gravity Filtration System Recommended? Definitely. Here\u2019s Why:\n\nWell, this filtration system is one of the simplest ways to get access to clean water while having fun outside. Here are the advantages of having this filter system:\n\n\u2022 It is Affordable\n\nThe gravity filtration system costs only 40 dollars which is far much cheaper than buying bottled water for a large group of people. As such, it saves on both energy and money since water filtration is faster while using it.\n\nPerfect for Large Groups\n\nOrganizing a camp or a hike for a large group can be stressful, but this water filter reduces the planning stress by taking care of all water needs. The system can filter a whole gallon of water in only 7 minutes. This means that it is perfect for many people. Moreover, no waiting time is required, allowing extra time to have fun while outdoors.\n\n\u2022 Durable\n\nThe problem with many water filter systems is that they get damaged fast, making them unreliable. Luckily, with the Sawyer gravity filtration system, there is a guarantee of durability. When properly used and maintained, the system can filter up to 100,000 gallons of water. Compared to other brands in the market, its durability is perfect.\n\n\u2022 Saves on Time and Energy\n\nWith gravity water filters like this one, there is no need for pumping or squeezing. This is because the system uses the force of gravity to clean water. That said, minimum energy and time are consumed. More importantly, the filtration process takes place without the supervision of anyone which is interesting.\n\nFinal Verdict\n\nBefore purchasing any water filtration system, it is vital to understand your personal needs first. This is because different systems are made for different needs. When looking for an affordable, simple, and easy-to-use filter, however, this one is top of the list.

Coups, Post-Coup Elections and Autocratic Resilience in the Post-Cold War World DESCRIPTION: Drawing on the literature on autocratic resilience and the logic of fuzzy-set theoretical models, the article examines the political consequences of all post-1989 military coups. It analyses the extent to which juntas remain or withdraw from power in the aftermath of a military coup. While some claim that post-Cold War coups have a higher propensity to usher in democratization, a case-sensitive analysis finds little reason to be enthusiastic about the political outcomes of coups. It finds a high degree of citizens involvement in civil society organizations and the absence of social tensions to be necessary and sufficient conditions for military withdrawal. Results for cases in which the armed forces remain in power indicate that in almost all cases the outcome is a foregone conclusion as the armed forces are not receptive to pressure by outside or domestic actors.

Half way between it\nand the stone circle was found in a cleft of the rock a bronze dagger\nblade, thirteen inches in length and four inches broad at the hilt.\nIt is of very good workmanship.

Each line is piped into a ForEach-Object loop to be parsed and manipulated.\n\nInside our loop we split each string into an array of substrings, using period and forward slash as delimiters. We then end up with $a[0] through $a[3] holding the first through fourth octets and $a[5] is the mask.\n\nThe range operator (..) is use to generate a list of numbers between our lower bound (last octet) and the upper bound (end of network range). Again, we use a little math to determine the size of the range. In short, the size of the range is 2^(32-masklen). There isn't a native exponent operator, so we use the built in .NET Math class to do our power function.\n\nThe output of the range is fed into another ForEach-Object cmdlet. Inside this cmdlet's scriptblock is where the IP address is reassembled and output.\n\nNow that we have the output, we can easily feed it to another command.

Coups, Post-Coup Elections and Autocratic Resilience in the Post-Cold War World DESCRIPTION: Drawing on the literature on autocratic resilience and the logic of fuzzy-set theoretical models, the article examines the political consequences of all post-1989 military coups. It analyses the extent to which juntas remain or withdraw from power in the aftermath of a military coup. While some claim that post-Cold War coups have a higher propensity to usher in democratization, a case-sensitive analysis finds little reason to be enthusiastic about the political outcomes of coups. It finds a high degree of citizens involvement in civil society organizations and the absence of social tensions to be necessary and sufficient conditions for military withdrawal. Results for cases in which the armed forces remain in power indicate that in almost all cases the outcome is a foregone conclusion as the armed forces are not receptive to pressure by outside or domestic actors.

The stress hormone, cortisol, plays a critical role in delaying puberty, according to this research.\n\nIt was assumed by the researchers that the hormone, cortisol, is behind puberty delays.\n\nCortisol would seem to affect the testes. It directly delays the development of reproductive cells into sperm cells. This slows the growth of the sexual organs and also the supply of steroids to the blood. During puberty, anabolic steroids from the testes ensure that the brain, the pituitary gland and testes develop properly. Because the cortisol produced under stress reduces the supply of steroids, communication to the brain and the pituitary (a gland under the brain) is reduced. This means that, like the testes, these organs develop more slowly, thus slowing down overall development.\n\nThe whole complex of hormones involved in puberty is self-regulatory. The brain produces the gonadotropin-releasing hormone, which stimulates cells in the pituitary. On order, the pituitary then excretes the gonadotropins, the luteinising hormone and the hormone which stimulates the follicles. In the testes, the gonadotropins promote the production of reproductive cells and steroid hormones. The steroid hormones contribute to the production of the reproductive cells and ensure communication between the brain and the pituitary gland, thus completing the cycle.\n\nThe finding is believed to have critical implications for medical practitioners on a worldwide basis.<|endoftext|>her father's coming.\n\nStruck by Terry's prepossessing albeit somewhat dirty countenance, she\nthought she might while away the time by asking him some questions\nabout himself.

It's the only scene in the film that dwells on the details of Jackson's private life; \"Bad 25\" doesn't chronicle his childhood or talk about the Jackson 5 or why he struck out on his own to try a solo career. It simply traces the origin of the \"Bad' project and then examines every single track on the record in chronological order (with one notable exception). There is absolutely no discussion of Jackson's final decade, when his brilliance and power curdled and corroded under the burden of too much fame, controversy, and alleged misbehavior. The documentary is more a biography of a specific album than of the man who made it.\n\nBut just before Lee wraps the film up with an assessment of the record's biggest and most poignant anthem, \"Man in the Mirror,\" he finally gets to the elephant in the room: Jackson's tragic end. The interviewees' memories are all utterly banal; one person was at their office, another heard from a doorman, a third was working on a video shoot. But then the montage continues, and one talking head after another bursts into tears. Simply reflecting back on these simple memories devastates them. These people \u2014 lawyers, personal assistants, music executives, bodyguards, sound engineers, musicians, and very famous fans \u2014 still love Michael Jackson. They know, just as we know, the allegations against him in his later years: child molestation, substance abuse, and European baby danglings. They just don't care.\n\nIt's a powerful moment, and it raises a complicated question: how do we reconcile great artists with their less-than-great private activities? Do a few horrible deeds outweigh and irrevocably erase many positive ones? As \"Bad 25\" wound down, and I was considering these ideas, I started thinking about Spike Lee's other 2012 film, \"Red Hook Summer.\" And it suddenly dawned on me that while one movie is a documentary and the other is fictional, they are basically about this same thing: the measure of a troubled man's life in the final accounting.\n\n\"Red Hook Summer\" initially appears to be a coming-of-age story about a teenager named Flik (Jules Brown) who is sent by his mother to live with his grandfather Enoch (Clarke Peters) in Red Hook, Brooklyn for the summer. The first half of the film follows Flik as he acclimates to his new surroundings: meeting girls, filming stuff on his iPad, and going to the local church, where Enoch is the bishop. Several lengthy scenes involve Enoch delivering impassioned sermons to his congregation; others follow him as he leads his grandson around the neighborhood, checking in on friends and followers. It's obvious that Enoch is a pillar of this community, respected and beloved by almost everyone he meets.\n\nThen Lee's story takes a turn. Enoch is not the bishop's real name, and years earlier he had abused not only his position as a religious leader but a young boy. Now an adult, Enoch's victim tracks him down and confronts him at his church in the middle of a Sunday service. After this intense scene, \"Red Hook Summer\" all but forgets about Flik to focus on Enoch and the repercussions of this revelation on his status in the community.\u00a0\n\nWhen I watched \"Red Hook Summer\" for the first time (before I'd seen \"Bad 25\") this was the moment where the film lost me. Though some individual scenes about Enoch's struggle were interesting, they felt totally at odds with the first two-thirds of the movie, as if two entirely different screenplays had been stapled together and then filmed as a single, confused project. Enoch's secret also seemed to conflict with the logic of \"Red Hook Summer\"'s premise; what sort of mother would willingly send her son to live with a child molester? If she didn't know her father's secret, how did Flik's mother find him in Brooklyn? Enoch's living under an assumed name; wouldn't that alone give it away? From this sequence, an already loosely assembled movie totally unraveled.\n\nNow that I've seen \"Bad 25,\" my entire perspective on \"Red Hook Summer\" is shifting.

Like Michael (at least allegedly), he has many demons hiding in his closet. Like Michael, Enoch's formerly vaunted place in the community is tarnished forever by these allegations (in Enoch's case, rightfully so).\u00a0Enoch constantly harangues Flik for his bad behavior, his love of sweets, and his obsession with technology, and he lectures his congreg", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 165236, "pt_loc": 91521591, "pt_shuffle_idx": 141207163, "doc_index_f": 221325197, "doc_index_l": 221325199, "offset_f": 4531, "offset_l": 1181, "pt_injection_pos": 2, "pt_window_offset": 99, "pt_injection_len": 259, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [533, 334, 1182]} +{"pt_doc": "In scattered flowers.

As these areas began to separate and colonize elsewhere, the reptilian bloodlines spread out, becoming the royal families of the world. This is said to be why the royal family maintains their genetics. Similarly, the ancient Chinese emperors believed they had the divine right to rule because they were connected to the \u201cserpent gods\u201d. Icke says there is a common theme between royalty and serpent worship around the world. This can be seen in early images of ancient cultures such as the Hindus, Cambodians, Greeks, Nordics, Africans, Native Americans, Koreans, and Australians to name a few (1).\n\nIcke recounts in his seminar about his discussions with Credo Mutwa, a South-African based Zulu shaman, during which Mutwa tells of African legends about the Chitauri, the reptilian like \u201cgods\u201d who ascended from the heavens in monstrous vessels which burned through the atmosphere. These so called gods became the dictators of the people, taking away the potentiality and power of the human race (2, 3).\n\n\nOver time these bloodlines created a sort of trans-national web of control, and as history progressed they rooted themselves deeper and deeper into the systems and structures that were developed by man. Today they make up the secret societies (illuminati, etc.) which pull the strings in regards to the direction that society follows. They have created the ultimate prison, one without bars with the illusion of freedom keeping the masses from wanting to escape. They have created illusory lines separating countries to cause segregation among the people who are ignorant to the truth. They have created massive distractions with media, politics and entertainment, and they have dumbed down the general population through the poisoning of our food, air, and water supply (3).\n\nSo what is the ultimate goal of these hybrid bloodlines? Some argue it was originally for our planet\u2019s supply of gold, which they need to stabilize the atmosphere of their own planet. Others suggest that it more has to do with tyranny. The New World Order (NWO) isn\u2019t a new concept to most. In the early 90\u2019s President Bush publicly announced that the NWO was the eventual goal for the United States. A NWO is not the peaceful state of freedom that these leaders try to present it as. The NWO is an Orwellian state based around absolute control in which the population is maintained under 500 000 million people.

As these areas began to separate and colonize elsewhere, the reptilian bloodlines spread out, becoming the royal families of the world. This is said to be why the royal family maintains their genetics. Similarly, the ancient Chinese emperors believed they had the divine right to rule because they were connected to the \u201cserpent gods\u201d. Icke says there is a common theme between royalty and serpent worship around the world. This can be seen in early images of ancient cultures such as the Hindus, Cambodians, Greeks, Nordics, Africans, Native Americans, Koreans, and Australians to name a few (1).\n\nIcke recounts in his seminar about his discussions with Credo Mutwa, a South-African based Zulu shaman, during which Mutwa tells of African legends about the Chitauri, the reptilian like \u201cgods\u201d who ascended from the heavens in monstrous vessels which burned through the atmosphere. These so called gods became the dictators of the people, taking away the potentiality and power of the human race (2, 3).\n\n\nOver time these bloodlines created a sort of trans-national web of control, and as history progressed they rooted themselves deeper and deeper into the systems and structures that were developed by man. Today they make up the secret societies (illuminati, etc.) which pull the strings in regards to the direction that society follows. They have created the ultimate prison, one without bars with the illusion of freedom keeping the masses from wanting to escape. They have created illusory lines separating countries to cause segregation among the people who are ignorant to the truth. They have created massive distractions with media, politics and entertainment, and they have dumbed down the general population through the poisoning of our food, air, and water supply (3).\n\nSo what is the ultimate goal of these hybrid bloodlines? Some argue it was originally for our planet\u2019s supply of gold, which they need to stabilize the atmosphere of their own planet. Others suggest that it more has to do with tyranny. The New World Order (NWO) isn\u2019t a new concept to most. In the early 90\u2019s President Bush publicly announced that the NWO was the eventual goal for the United States. A NWO is not the peaceful state of freedom that these leaders try to present it as. The NWO is an Orwellian state based around absolute control in which the population is maintained under 500 000 million people. It takes away the power of the public, turning them into mindless robots who do the bidding of the fortunate ruling class; a more extreme case of the current state of the world. It is a one world government that calls all the shots. This is what the hybrids want; power and control. Whatever the intention is behind the control structures, it is obvious that it is not in harmony with the well-being of mankind or the planet.\n\nIcke ends his seminar with a glimpse of hope for humanity, stating that its time for humanity to get up off of our knees and to take matters back into our own hands,\n\n\u201cWhat if vast numbers of people say \u2018well we\u2019re not doing it\u2019?

Symptoms can include: abdominal pains, diarrhea (during a particularly bad flare up, this can include blood), vomiting and a substantial amount of weight loss.\n\nComplications can arise during a flare up which may affect other areas of the body to include: rashes, eye inflammation, fatigue, memory loss and arthritis. It is of significant note that certain foods can inevitably cause a flare up, leaving the patient in a large amount of pain.\n\nWhilst foods affect different people in different ways, it is always best to note what affects you, perhaps in the form of a diary, to note which foods to avoid for future consumption.\n\n\nNuts, whilst high in protein, are difficult to digest. Foods which are difficult to digest can irritate the lining of your gut, causing symptoms to flare or worsen. As there is no way to alter nuts to make digestion easier, they are better avoided altogether.\n\nAs studies have shown, eating small amounts, often, can assist in retaining energy and encourage the gut to self heal. If nuts are the perfect snack on the go, that you need to replace, you could try replacing it with a banana. Bananas provide a generous portion of potassium and are known to be easier to digest and tolerate during a flare up.\n\nFoods with High Spice ContentFoods-to-avoid-if-you-have-chrons-disease\n\nWhilst some people suggest all spicy foods can affect their Crohn\u2019s disease, there is a general consensus that foods such as curries and kebabs should be avoided due to the high fat and oil content.\n\nSpices can cause havoc with wind retention, causing discomfort in the gut and to the patient. During a flare up, it is important to cut out all spicy foods completely from your diet, but this can be reintroduced, in moderation, if you are normally tolerant of a small amount of spicy food.\n\nIf you are a big spicy food lover, there are some recipes available that you could try when your Crohn\u2019s disease is under control. Tandoori Halibut Kebabs are a favourite, providing a slightly spicy taste, without the heavy spices and high oil content involved.\n\nFruit or Vegetables with Skin\n\nWhilst fruit and vegetables are deemed good for you, the skin on them can be extremely difficult to digest, and cause anguish to the gut. It is not the case that you should avoid fruit and vegetables altogether though. Simply remove the skin from them before you eat them to aid the gut in digesting them.\n\nSome people can eat raw fruit and vegetables and not have any issues, but for some, it can be very painful. If you fall within the latter group, you may find that canned or cooked fruits and vegetables are the better option for you.\n\nDairy Products for the Dairy Intolerant\n\nMany Crohn\u2019s suffers discover that they have a dairy intolerance. This is because Crohn\u2019s disease damages the digestive tract, making it difficult for the body to digest sugar found in milk and dairy products. This can cause bloating, wind or aggravation with other symptoms. You may need to test your tolerance to all dairy products including: cheese, milk, yoghurt and ice cream.\n\nIf you find that the usual dairy products are causing you issues, you could switch to Almond Milk for drinking and any harder, aged cheeses, such as parmesan and cheddar for eating. These aged cheeses contain less lactose, ensuring easier digestion.\n\nWheat Products for the", "base_doc": ", the new Opium of the\u00a0People\n\nI wrote this as a preamble to the post about the Boston Tea Party but it soon took a life of it\u2019s own.

As there is no way to alter nuts to make digestion easier, they are better avoided altogether.\n\nAs studies have shown, eating small amounts, often, can assist in retaining energy and encourage the gut to self heal. If nuts are the perfect snack on the go, that you need to replace, you could try replacing it with a banana. Bananas provide a generous portion of potassium and are known to be easier to digest and tolerate during a flare up.\n\nFoods with High Spice ContentFoods-to-avoid-if-you-have-chrons-disease\n\nWhilst some people suggest all spicy foods can affect their Crohn\u2019s disease, there is a general consensus that foods such as curries and kebabs should be avoided due to the high fat and oil content.\n\nSpices can cause havoc with wind retention, causing discomfort in the gut and to the patient. During a flare up, it is important to cut out all spicy foods completely from your diet, but this can be reintroduced, in moderation, if you are normally tolerant of a small amount of spicy food.\n\nIf you are a big spicy food lover, there are some recipes available that you could try when your Crohn\u2019s disease is under control. Tandoori Halibut Kebabs are a favourite, providing a slightly spicy taste, without the heavy spices and high oil content involved.\n\nFruit or Vegetables with Skin\n\nWhilst fruit and vegetables are deemed good for you, the skin on them can be extremely difficult to digest, and cause anguish to the gut. It is not the case that you should avoid fruit and vegetables altogether though. Simply remove the skin from them before you eat them to aid the gut in digesting them.\n\nSome people can eat raw fruit and vegetables and not have any issues, but for some, it can be very painful. If you fall within the latter group, you may find that canned or cooked fruits and vegetables are the better option for you.\n\nDairy Products for the Dairy Intolerant\n\nMany Crohn\u2019s suffers discover that they have a dairy intolerance. This is because Crohn\u2019s disease damages the digestive tract, making it difficult for the body to digest sugar found in milk and dairy products. This can cause bloating, wind or aggravation with other symptoms. You may need to test your tolerance to all dairy products including: cheese, milk, yoghurt and ice cream.\n\nIf you find that the usual dairy products are causing you issues, you could switch to Almond Milk for drinking and any harder, aged cheeses, such as parmesan and cheddar for eating. These aged cheeses contain less lactose, ensuring easier digestion.\n\nWheat Products for the Gluten Intolerant\n\nGluten intolerance can cause major problems for Crohn\u2019s sufferers.

Cameras placed by researchers in remote areas inhabited by snow leopards take photographs when a source of heat (i.e. snow leopard, fox, goat, or a large bird) passes in front of it. The researchers then spend many hours recognizing specific cats and their habitat. Because each snow leopard has a completely unique coat, snow leopards are identified based on the characteristics of their spot patterns such as their size, shape, orientation, and coloration. In this research, Dr. Miguel will use techniques from image processing, pattern recognition, and machine learning to aid researchers in their work with camera pictures. First, she will develop algorithms to sort the images obtained from one camera. Once the images are sorted, they will be analyzed by a program that searches for matches among the many different spot patterns. Close match between two images will indicate the same individual. The goal of the program will be to classify each image as representing a particular snow leopard.<|endoftext|>Skip to main content\n\nGoogle Patents Book-Like Foldable Phone with Actual Pages\n\nSmartphone manufacturers are continuing to patent and tinker with unique ideas for foldable phone designs. And a newly published patent application made by Google is particularly wild.\n\nCredit: LetsGoDigital\n\n(Image credit: LetsGoDigital)\n\nFound in the database of WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) by LetsGoDigital, this 2018 patent depicts a device with three foldable sections, bound together within a hard shell, essentially looking like a very thin hardback book.\n\nThis is based on a previous Google patent filed in June 2018 and granted in April 2019, which shows how a single one of the flexible pages would function. The new patent repeats a lot of this material, but adds the idea of combining multiple pages together with a single hinge, along with a stiff outer shell to keep the processor, battery and other internal components safe.\n\nCredit: WIPO\n\n(Image credit: WIPO)\n\nThe text of the patent says that the five-page configuration is just for an example, and any device that resulted from this application could have any number of \u2018pages\u2019. The pages can either work together to act as a larger display, or could act independently as smaller ones, depending on the exact implementation.\n\nIf you\u2019re curious as to what the point of this kind of device would be, the patent briefly describes that a standard foldable phone may be inconvenient to swap between folded and unfolded modes, and even then may be unwieldy or too small for practical use. Swapping between the differently organized \u2018pages\u2019 of this device could therefore be more convenient, the patent states.\n\nCredit: WIPO\n\n(Image credit: WIPO)\n\nWith this being a patent, it\u2019s no guarantee there will eventually be a Pixel or any other kind of Google device with this technology or exact shape implemented. All it means is that Google can use this concept if it wishes.\n\nIt would take several years to develop something like this anyway, particularly when we have yet to see Google debut any kind of foldable device yet.

People who knew him could testify as a hundred witnesses that he had no intention of escaping, but to the cruel Nazis, the fact that he moved away from his group was sufficient to condemn him to death and to kill him. On the allotted day, Lipman Lewkowicz moved from his place of work to relieve himself, but the guard immediately chased him and before he had a chance to explain himself, he was put under guard and taken away.\n\nThe veteran camp inmates knew exactly what was going to happen, but we green Zloczew people thought about the punishment that he may receive and had no idea that he would be treated in such a harsh manner. The following day, we were released from work a little early so that we could witness the tragic events that were going to take place. In the meantime, the people of the camp prepared according to the orders of the commandant, a gallows in the camp yard. At the allocated time, we were ordered out of the huts and told to arrange ourselves in the parade grounds for the horror that was just about to be carried out in front of our eyes. Rumours immediately spread as to what was about to happen as the veteran camp inmates were full of bitter experiences and knew exactly what was going to happen.\n\nWe stood there completely humiliated and depressed, filled with sorrow and anger as to what was about to happen in the parade ground. Two Jews were ordered to prepare the ropes and bring the condemned man, bound hand and foot, while deathly silence hovered over the killing field. He was put on a chair under the rope, the rope was placed around his neck and the chair kicked out. This filthy, despicable death was the first one that we Zloczew people witnessed and it completely shook us.

Cameras placed by researchers in remote areas inhabited by snow leopards take photographs when a source of heat (i.e. snow leopard, fox, goat, or a large bird) passes in front of it. The researchers then spend many hours recognizing specific cats and their habitat. Because each snow leopard has a completely unique coat, snow leopards are identified based on the characteristics of their spot patterns such as their size, shape, orientation, and coloration. In this research, Dr. Miguel will use techniques from image processing, pattern recognition, and machine learning to aid researchers in their work with camera pictures. First, she will develop algorithms to sort the images obtained from one camera. Once the images are sorted, they will be analyzed by a program that searches for matches among the many different spot patterns. Close match between two images will indicate the same individual. The goal of the program will be to classify each image as representing a particular snow leopard.<|endoftext|>Skip to main content\n\nGoogle Patents Book-Like Foldable Phone with Actual Pages\n\nSmartphone manufacturers are continuing to patent and tinker with unique ideas for foldable phone designs. And a newly published patent application made by Google is particularly wild.\n\nCredit: LetsGoDigital\n\n(Image credit: LetsGoDigital)\n\nFound in the database of WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) by LetsGoDigital, this 2018 patent depicts a device with three foldable sections, bound together within a hard shell, essentially looking like a very thin hardback book.\n\nThis is based on a previous Google patent filed in June 2018 and granted in April 2019, which shows how a single one of the flexible pages would function. The new patent repeats a lot of this material, but adds the idea of combining multiple pages together with a single hinge, along with a stiff outer shell to keep the processor, battery and other internal components safe.\n\nCredit: WIPO\n\n(Image credit: WIPO)\n\nThe text of the patent says that the five-page configuration is just for an example, and any device that resulted from this application could have any number of \u2018pages\u2019. The pages can either work together to act as a larger display, or could act independently as smaller ones, depending on the exact implementation.\n\nIf you\u2019re curious as to what the point of this kind of device would be, the patent briefly describes that a standard foldable phone may be inconvenient to swap between folded and unfolded modes, and even then may be unwieldy or too small for practical use. Swapping between the differently organized \u2018pages\u2019 of this device could therefore be more convenient, the patent states.\n\nCredit: WIPO\n\n(Image credit: WIPO)\n\nWith this being a patent, it\u2019s no guarantee there will eventually be a Pixel or any other kind of Google device with this technology or exact shape implemented. All it means is that Google can use this concept if it wishes.\n\nIt would take several years to develop something like this anyway, particularly when we have yet to see Google debut any kind of foldable device yet.

People who knew him could testify as a hundred witnesses that he had no intention of escaping, but to the cruel Nazis, the fact that he moved away from his group was sufficient to condemn him to death and to kill him. On the allotted day, Lipman Lewkowicz moved from his place of work to relieve himself, but the guard immediately chased him and before he had a chance to explain himself, he was put under guard and taken away.\n\nThe veteran camp inmates knew exactly what was going to happen, but we green Zloczew people thought about the punishment that he may receive and had no idea that he would be treated in such a harsh manner. The following day, we were released from work a little early so that we could witness the tragic events that were going to take place. In the meantime, the people of the camp prepared according to the orders of the commandant, a gallows in the camp yard. At the allocated time, we were ordered out of the huts and told to arrange ourselves in the parade grounds for the horror that was just about to be carried out in front of our eyes. Rumours immediately spread as to what was about to happen as the veteran camp inmates were full of bitter experiences and knew exactly what was going to happen.\n\nWe stood there completely humiliated and depressed, filled with sorrow and anger as to what was about to happen in the parade ground. Two Jews were ordered to prepare the ropes and bring the condemned man, bound hand and foot, while deathly silence hovered over the killing field. He was put on a chair under the rope, the rope was placed around his neck and the chair kicked out. This filthy, despicable death was the first one that we Zloczew people witnessed and it completely shook us. It was easy to understand what a blow this was, especially for the twin brother of the murdered man who stood amongst us during the hanging.\n\nBullying in the Camp\n\nBullying and other barbaric acts by the camp staff and their helpers became an integral part of the way we existed. Excuses were not even needed for all kinds of punishments, described later, which were visited on us at every step. In spite of that, in this darkness of medieval barbarity, there were such shocking incidents that shook all of us to the core; even those who were used to such things and these became a daily occurrence. On Sundays, this being a Christian holiday, we did not work outside the camp, but stayed in and worked till lunchtime. One Sunday, Rabbi Meir Shochet, who was also a camp inmate, was ordered to take a wheelbarrow full of soil on muddy ground and as it was more than he could mange, he was unable to do so. As punishment, he was asked to take the wheelbarrow onto the railway ties but he could not manage that either as it was sinking between the ties and he was not able to pull it out, but the camp guards showed no pity\n\nThey beat him with sticks all over his body, to spur him on and in a sadistic frenzy they beat him harder and harder until all who saw that became completely distressed. The slaughtered man, Rabbi Meir, was well known in Zloczew, as he was also a Dayan or religious judge and a Hebrew teacher well- known and respected and knowledgeable in the ways of the Torah. And there he was being tortured and when the Zloczew Jews saw him being beaten and dying in front of their eyes, their blood froze and their spirit was crushed.

Large amounts of new data are sourced from unpublished developer-led excavations and combined with national archives, published excavations and online databases. Bayesian radiocarbon models and context- and sample-sensitive summed radiocarbon probabilities are used to examine the dataset. The study captures the scale and timing of the initial expansion of Early Neolithic settlement and the ensuing attenuation of all such activity\u2014an apparent boom-and-bust cycle. The Late Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods are characterised by a resurgence and diversification of activity. Contextualisation and spatial analysis of radiocarbon data reveals finer-scale patterning than is usually possible with summed-probability approaches: the boom-and-bust models of prehistoric populations may, in fact, be a misinterpretation of more subtle demographic changes occurring at the same time as cultural change and attendant differences in the archaeological record.\n\nThe study should be very useful to anyone trying to understand the prehistory of Ireland, not the least because of its many maps and this extremely cool sequential maps video from pre-Neolithic times (5th millennium BCE) to the gates of the Bronze Age (early 2nd millennium BCE). Notice that in the Isles they tend to call \"Bronze Age\" to the Chalcolithic (Copper and Stone Age) and hence the title, which is a bit misleading.\n\nAn example of the very cool and highly informative maps and data you'll find in this study:\nFig.\u00a03 - Map of Ireland showing Early Neolithic sites\n\n\nDepopulation and resettlement? When?\n\nAn intriguing issue is the boom and bust cycles, particularly the almost total absence of signs of human activity around the end of the 4th millennium (3300-3000), suggesting maybe a depopulation after the first farmer colonization (?). There are clear booms around 4000, 3700, 3500, 2900, 2500 and since 2200 (Bell Beaker era). All this is something to chew about.\n\nParticularly I'd raise the following question here: we know that a woman from c. 3400-3100 BCE (just at the depopulation gap?) was a typical Neolithic European, most similar to SE Spaniards and Sardinians, and that a man from c. 2200-1500 (Bell Beaker boom) was virtually identical to modern Irish and \"British Celts\" like Scots, Welsh and Cornish, carrying the common and controversial R1b patrilineage.\u00a0\n\nThe initial reading many of us made was that these new genetics may have arrived with Bell Beaker and that maybe Bell Beaker was more influential in terms demographic than we used to think, at least in Ireland. However, with this archaeological sequence on hand it seems at least reasonable to think that the major resettlement of an almost deserted Ireland happened after 3000 BCE but significantly earlier than the Bell Beaker phenomenon, which only reaches Northern Europe (Ireland included) c. 1500 BCE.

In this study, mitochondrial DNA from 193 ancient and 597 modern domesticated cattle (Bos taurus) from sites across Europe, Western Anatolia and Iran were analysed to provide insight into the Neolithic dispersal process and the role of the local European aurochs population during cattle domestication.\n\n\nUsing descriptive summary statistics and serial coalescent simulations paired with approximate Bayesian computation we find: (i) decreasing genetic diversity in a southeast to northwest direction, (ii) strong correlation of genetic and geographical distances, iii) an estimated effective size of the Near Eastern female founder population of 81, iv) that the expansion of cattle from the Near East and Anatolia into Europe does not appear to constitute a significant bottleneck, and that v) there is evidence for gene-flow between the Near Eastern/Anatolian and European cattle populations in the early phases of the European Neolithic, but that it is restricted after 5,000 BCE.\n\n\nThe most plausible scenario to explain these results is a single and regionally restricted domestication process of cattle in the Near East with subsequent migration into Europe during the Neolithic transition without significant maternal interbreeding with the endogenous wild stock. Evidence for gene-flow between cattle populations from Southwestern Asia and Europe during the earlier phases of the European Neolithic points towards intercontinental trade connections between Neolithic farmers.\n\nFigure 1\n\nMDS Plot of d-loop sequences from 13 spatiotemporal groups of ancient domesticated cattle.

They can\u2019t be priced like one. Their fees can vary dramatically given the details of your case. If your case requires litigation, a lawyer\u2019s fee will rise quickly (litigation is usually expensive). If a settlement is likely, the fee will reflect that. Below, we\u2019ll give you an overview of lawyers\u2019 fees so you\u2019ll know what to expect when you need to retain their services.\n\nFirst Step: Meeting With Your Lawyer\n\nMost lawyers will want to schedule a consultation before quoting a fee for their services. During the consultation, they\u2019ll ask questions to understand the kind of work involved in your case. This is the only way a lawyer can quote a reasonable fee. Some lawyers (especially when working with new clients) require a retainer. The retainer isn\u2019t your full legal bill. It usually reflects the amount of work involved in your case when your lawyer is working either on a fixed fee or at an hourly rate.\n\nContingent Fees\n\nWhen a lawyer takes your case and agrees to represent you on a contingent fee basis, it\u2019s usually for a civil suit. In this type of arrangement, the lawyer typically won\u2019t charge you for his time. Instead, he receives compensation if the ruling of the case is in your favor. It\u2019s important to note that just because your lawyer is working on a contingent fee, that doesn\u2019t exclude the costs of litigation. You\u2019ll still be required to pay those expenses.\n\nNegotiating The Fee\n\nSome lawyers are open to negotiating their fee. While the best lawyers are typically booked with clients (and thus, unlikely to lower their fees), many lawyers are hungry for your business.

Additionally, depending on your plan, you may also be compensated for injuries sustained during your flight or even loss of life due to an accident.\n\nCruise travel insurance\n\nCruise insurance can cover you if you miss a leg of your trip or if there's an emergency evacuation at sea. You're also generally covered for unexpected medical issues (pre-existing medical conditions are excluded), cruise cancellations resulting from bad weather and identity theft.\n\nInternational travel insurance\n\nYou'll enjoy the same benefits of travel insurance when vacationing abroad.

While the best lawyers are typically booked with clients (and thus, unlikely to lower their fees), many lawyers are hungry for your business. If you can\u2019t afford the fee they quote, offer a lower fee. Some lawyers may want the experience your case can provide. Or, they may be a new lawyer and willing to reduce their fee to build their business.\n\nIf your lawyer is working on an hourly basis, ask him to quote a maximum fee. Keep in mind that every case is unique and the process of a lawsuit often makes it difficult to quote a maximum fee. That said, if a lawyer quotes a small retainer (i.e. $500) and can\u2019t provide a maximum fee, you may be in for an unpleasant legal bill. Most lawyers who quote a $500 retainer will consider your case simple and unlikely to exceed that amount. Lawyers who quote a small retainer yet won\u2019t commit to a maximum may be a sign of trouble.\n\nOther", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 175052, "pt_loc": 47065369, "pt_shuffle_idx": 185972615, "doc_index_f": 291531234, "doc_index_l": 291531237, "offset_f": 210, "offset_l": 552, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 66, "pt_injection_len": 230, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [302, 161, 1033, 553]} +{"pt_doc": "celebrated, are no fable, and are easily explained.\nAround it and upon it are numerous species of _conferv\u00e6_ and many small\nwater plants, which, becoming encrusted with the carbonate of lime\ndeposited by the water, form with leaves and grasses compact little\nmasses, which, supported by air bubbles that have lodged beneath,\nor from their own lightness, do not sink, and becoming detached by\naccident from the shore, swim about and become larger by the junction\nof these little masses with each other.

What follows are six tips all designed to put you on the road to a money-saving deal.\n\n1) Choose the right time to get the best deal on a car. The end of the day, the end of the week, the end of the month, and the end of the year are the best times to make a purchase. This means the optimum time to buy a car would be right around New Year's Eve. Of course, not everyone can wait until then, but do try holding out until the end of the month. Most dealerships have certain sales goals they try to meet each month, and when they fall short, they become eager to make a sale at this time.\n\n2) Avoid making the first offer. That's true whether it's for your trade-in or the car you intend to buy. The person who makes the first offer loses an edge by taking that risk of testing the bargaining waters. Offer too low and the dealer scoffs at you. Offer too much and your dollars are flying out the window. Do everything possible to get him to make the first offer in both cases.\n\nWhen you do make your first offer/counter-offer, always give yourself bargaining room to come up to your target purchase price. If the asking price is $10,000 and you only want to pay $9,500, then offer $9,000. If you offer $9,500, the salesman will counter-offer, expecting you to come up in price to meet him. In this case, it would probably end up at $9,750 which is $250 above your target price.\n\n3) Show some sign of dismay. Throughout the bargaining process, whenever the salesman comes back with a new offer, make some immediate gesture indicating that it's unacceptable. Grunt, moan, raise your eyebrows, flinch, scream--do something--to show that the offer he just made is still out of the ball park. If you don't show some sign of dismay, the salesman will think the offer he just made is within reason, since you didn't seem bothered by it.\n\n4) Create a sense of urgency. While the salesman tries to instill the urgency \"buy before it's gone,\" you can create a similar kind of urgency to lay upon the salesman himself. It's called the \"lower your price now or I buy somewhere else\" urgency. You must lay it on the line with force like the whole deal hinges on the salesman's decision to reduce the price. If your pitch doesn't come out strong and he calls your bluff, get up and start walking.\n\n5) Use repetition\n\nRepetition works. Repetition works. Don't hesitate to repeat yourself frequently during negotiations. Saying the same thing, but rewording each time works best.\n\n6) Say you'll \"sleep On It.\"\n\nOne last-ditch effort to get the salesman to lower his price one more time is by telling him that you wish to sleep on it. Use this ploy only when you are at the end of your negotiations. Stand up, shake the salesman's hand, and tell him how unfortunate it is that you couldn't meet in price...and watch him start adjusting his figures.\n\nThere you have it.

Use them correctly and you just may have enough cash left over for floor mats!\n\n\n\nPay Now or Pay Later...\n\nSeven Steps To Preserving Your Car's Resale Value\n\n(From the Rocky Mountain Motorist, July '96)\n\nWhether you buy new or used, the day you purchase your car is the day to start preparing it for sale. As a proud owner, you do have control over your car's resale value because how you care for your car today will determine its value tomorrow. So with little effort, heed to the following seven steps and your set-of-wheels will be well on its way to cherry-dom.\n\nStep 1: Maintenance\n\nRegardless of what your owner's manual says, change your oil and filter every 3 months or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first. Many owner's manuals out there recommend 7,500 mile intervals which is costly advice. Frequency of oil changes could mean the difference between engine repair at 130,000 miles or well over 200,000 miles. With an oil change costing less than $20, frequent servicing is an inexpensive warranty.\n\nFor the rest of your car's maintenance, follow the service schedule in your owner's manual and get your auto tuned when it is due. Your car will run stronger, longer, retain its best possible mileage, and hence, age like a fine wine.\n\nStep 2: Interior Upkeep\n\nIf you want top dollar for your car when you sell you must keep it looking like new. Consider a dash cover to keep the sun from baking cracks. A bath towel matching your car's interior set neatly in the rear window is an economical way to keep the sun from fading the fabric back there. For your seats, some inexpensive cotton seat-covers will keep the upholstery pristine and your car's resale value to the max.\n\nStep 3: Exterior Upkeep\n\nFor the exterior, keep some touch-up paint on hand to take care of the nicks and chips that all cars get from daily driving. The trick is to re-seal exposed metal before Mr. Rust can set up shop in there.\n\nAs for fender-benders, utilize your insurance policy and get your car repaired. Pocket the claim and you will lose twice as much in resale value later down the road. Also, utilizing salvage yards for pricey dealer-only parts like tail-light lenses, moldings, etc. can save you money and keep you car looking good.\n\nStep 4: Driving Style\n\nOur driving style contributes to how many miles we can squeeze from our cars before major repair is needed. Therefore, avoid hard driving - especially on a cold engine. Because motor oil is designed to lubricate an engine best at normal operating temperature, most wear occurs from the time we start it until normal operating temperature is reached (about 5 to 7 minutes on a stone-cold engine).\n\nThis few minute period is crucial. Take it easy on the accelerator and try not to go over 55 mph until the engine has completely warmed up. Get in the habit of leaving a couple of minutes early to avoid rushing. The only place hot-rodding will get you to in a hurry is to the repair shop.\n\n", "base_doc": " bare metal will oxidize and painted surfaces won't, you only need to protect your car from the elements to keep rust a bay.

A bath towel matching your car's interior set neatly in the rear window is an economical way to keep the sun from fading the fabric back there. For your seats, some inexpensive cotton seat-covers will keep the upholstery pristine and your car's resale value to the max.\n\nStep 3: Exterior Upkeep\n\nFor the exterior, keep some touch-up paint on hand to take care of the nicks and chips that all cars get from daily driving. The trick is to re-seal exposed metal before Mr. Rust can set up shop in there.\n\nAs for fender-benders, utilize your insurance policy and get your car repaired. Pocket the claim and you will lose twice as much in resale value later down the road. Also, utilizing salvage yards for pricey dealer-only parts like tail-light lenses, moldings, etc. can save you money and keep you car looking good.\n\nStep 4: Driving Style\n\nOur driving style contributes to how many miles we can squeeze from our cars before major repair is needed. Therefore, avoid hard driving - especially on a cold engine. Because motor oil is designed to lubricate an engine best at normal operating temperature, most wear occurs from the time we start it until normal operating temperature is reached (about 5 to 7 minutes on a stone-cold engine).\n\nThis few minute period is crucial. Take it easy on the accelerator and try not to go over 55 mph until the engine has completely warmed up. Get in the habit of leaving a couple of minutes early to avoid rushing. The only place hot-rodding will get you to in a hurry is to the repair shop.\n\nStep 5: Records\n\nWithout receipts to back up your word, no one will take a 3,000 mile oil-change claim seriously. Therefore, keeping records of all the service and repair done to your car can add to its resale value. Whether it's an oil change, tune-up, or new brakes, keep a file for all those receipts.\n\nIf you do your own maintenance, start a computer generated or hand written ledger and log in the mileage, date, service performed, parts replaced, etc. As for receipts, you can save the ones from all the cases of oil, oil filters, air filters, spark plugs, etc. you will be buying from your local supply store. These will also have the date on them which will allow you to show chronological evidence that the car has been serviced regularly.\n\nWhen the day finally comes to sell or trade in your car, open up your folder full of neatly kept receipts and watch the buyer's eyes light up. The proof is in the pudding. Everyone wants a car that has been well cared for.\n\nStep 6: Detailing\n\nA thorough, deep", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 176688, "pt_loc": 208113485, "pt_shuffle_idx": 87794084, "doc_index_f": 137618344, "doc_index_l": 137618344, "offset_f": 1551, "offset_l": 3599, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 236, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": "with today's hearing.

User avater\n KarenQuiltsTexas | | #19\n\n Great tutorial. But I'd suggest a different needle. A quilting needle is not the sharpest, it's actually a bit ball point, to handle the batting without pushing it through to the other side of the quilt sandwich. A sharp topstitch, with it's extra sharp tip and longer eye would give straighter penetration in heavy fabrics. I would bet this machine had a horizontal rotary hook as well... a vertical hook, with it's naturally straighter stitch quality would look even better. A rotary has an extra half twist in ever stitch because of the vertical nature of the needle thread meeting up and going round the horizontally carried bobbin thread! This type of stitching also looks lovely done with the double or reinforcing stitch!\n\n 20. user-4230312 | | #20\n\n Boy, what rude comments, user-248785 and LizKelley.

Dr. Coleman is currently an Associate Professor and Extension Horse Specialist at the University of Kentucky and recently was appointed Director of Undergraduate Studies for the new Equine Science and Management degree program.\n\nThe horse evolved as grazing animal that consumed a wide variety of forage plants.\u00a0 Within this array of forages there were a variety of carbohydrates that the horse was able to digest and utilize as an energy source.\u00a0 Today, there are a significant number of horses who, because of their physiological state, can be easily maintained on a high forage diet.\u00a0 Forages, and the carbohydrates they contain, are an important ingredient in all horse diets.\n\n\nWhy then has the horse industry become concerned about the carbohydrates in their horses\u2019 diets?\u00a0 This concern has some owners seeking low or no carbohydrate diets for their horses. This concern has even gone so far as to question if grass is safe for their horse. For some situations, horse owners should be concerned, as a number of health problems have been associated with excessive carbohydrate intakes.\u00a0 Horse owners are always on guard to prevent such problems as laminites or colic, which can be the result of excessive carbohydrate intakes. In reality while the carbohydrate may be the cause it is the horse owner who needs to address the issue as it is the horse owner that provides the excessive carbohydrate intakes.\n\nThe purpose of this presentation is not to downplay the problems associated with carbohydrates and horses, but to put them into perspective.\u00a0 After all, horses were born to eat grass and have been doing so for a long time. Therefore how can horse owners use the feeds available to them to in a safe and effective manner? In order to use these feeding and reduce the risks associated with them it is necessary to understand the sources of carbohydrate in the feeds being used.\n\nAs a grazer, the horse relies on forage, which is primarily made up of carbohydrates in different forms.\u00a0 The fiber fraction now referred to a neutral detergent fiber is made up of cellulose and hemicellulose.\u00a0 These forms of carbohydrate are also called polysaccharides as they are made up of multiple units of simple sugars but linked in a fashion that makes them resistant to mammalian enzyme digestion.\u00a0 These carbohydrates when utilized by the horse must be digested through the process of fermentation in the cecum and large intestine of the horse.\u00a0 It is here the microorganisms convert the fiber components into volatile fatty acids which are absorbed and used by the horse as an energy source.\n\nWhile the horse has an area in the digestive tract that uses microbial fermentation, this area is found in the later segment of the digestive tract.\u00a0 This organization of structures makes the horse a hind gut fermenter.\u00a0 The non fibrous fraction of forages, the other polysaccharides and soluble carbohydrates consumed are broken down by enzymatic digestion which occurs in the small intestine of the horse.\u00a0 This process produces simple sugars such as glucose and is a very energy efficient system for the horse. The combination of both enzymatic digestion and fermentation allow the horse to make good use of that wide variety of carbohydrate provided by both the forages and grains commonly fed.\n\nWhat are the different carbohydrates are found in common feeds?\u00a0 In forages, there are the fibrous forms, cellulose and hemicellulose, soluble carbohydrates, sugars and starches, and fructans. How these different carbohydrates are digested by the horse makes the difference and this will be discussed later. Table 1 shows the differences in two common forages as it relates to the NDF fractions (structural or fiber carbohydrates), the NFC fractions (non fiber carbohydrates) and the non structural carbohydrates which are made up of the soluble carbohydrate fraction.\n\nTable 1 Carbohydrate fractions in common forages (dry matter basis)\nFeedstuff\u00a0% NDF\u00a0% NFC\u00a0% NSC\nAlfalfa Hay\u00a043.1\u00a022.0\u00a012.5\nGrass Hay\u00a060.9\u00a016.6\u00a013.6\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Adapted from NRC 2007\n\nThe higher percentage of NDF in the grass hay is a primary reason why a forage of this type has a lower digestible energy value that the alfalfa hay has. This is due to a due to a higher percentage of carbohydrates that are lower in digestibility whereas the alfalfa hay has a much higher percentage of non fibrous carbohydrate that is readily digested in the small intestine resulting in a higher digestible energy value.\n\nDefining the various carbohydrate compounds will aid horse owners in making good decisions on how they should feed their horses.\u00a0 A recent suggestion reported in NRC 2007 divided carbohydrates into three categories.\u00a0 They are:\u00a0\n1)\u00a0The carbohydrates that are readily hydrolyzed and undergoes enzymatic digestion in the small intestine.\u00a0 This group would include the storage carbohydrates such as starch with the end product of digestion being glucose.\n2)\u00a0The rapidly fermented carbohydrates that are broken down by microbial fermentation in the hind gut. This group includes fructans (a polysaccharide made up of glucose and fructose) resistant starches found in some cereal grains, and some hemicellulose.\u00a0 The products of digestion are the different volatile fatty acids (VFA\u2019s).\n3)\u00a0The slowly fermented carbohydrates that are also broken down by microbial fermentation in the hind gut.\u00a0 This group includes the cellulose and hemicellulose (primarily from forages) and also yield VFA\u2019s as a product of digestion.\n\nWhile these categories simplify the process in many areas, laboratory analysis is not readily available to quantify the different carbohydrates.\u00a0 This is changing and in the near future most forage analysis will provide a more comprehensive analysis.\nCarbohydrate Concerns\nGrain Concerns - Horses will be fed diets high in carbohydrates but there are situations where caution is advised.\u00a0 For the horse at maintenance, energy needs can be easily met with a reasonable quality forage.\u00a0 However, for the performance horse, more calories are required and it has been a common practice to feed a concentrate rations to increase caloric intake.\u00a0 In most situations, this meant feeding cereal grains with high levels of starch.\u00a0 The common grains used in horse diets would be oats, corn and barley.\u00a0 Table 2 (next page) notes the level of starch found in these cereal grains.\n\nTable 2 \u2013 Levels of Starch in Common Grains (dry matter basis)\nGrain\u00a0% Starch\u00a0% NDF\nBarley\u00a054\u00a019.6\nOats\u00a044.3\u00a027.9\nCorn\u00a072.3\u00a09.1\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Adopted from NRC 2007\n\nFrom this table, it is easy to see why oats have been considered a safer feed. This grain has higher fiber value and lower total starch content than the other cereal grains commonly fed. When fed to horses a greater daily intake would be required to provide a similar starch intake when compared to either corn or barley. This however is not the whole story. Another reason that oats may be safer is the structure of the starch and its relative digestibility.\u00a0 That is because not all starches are created equal. The structure of the starch in the different cereal grains makes some more resistant to enzymatic digestion in the small intestine of the horse. Results from early research trials indicate that over 95% of all starch from cereal grains is digested by the horse.\u00a0 These trials however looked at total tract digestion and the results were not unexpected. It is know that any starch not digested in the small intestine will be rapidly digested by the microbes in the hind gut.\u00a0 Therefore the combination of both types of digestion results in almost total disappearance of starch.\n\nOther research has shown that there are significant differences in the small intestinal digestion of starch from the different cereal grains.\u00a0 Prececal digestion for oat starch is about 85% while the starch from barley and corn is less than 30% digested.\u00a0 This means that there is a significant portion of the starch in corn and barley resistant to enzymatic digestion.\u00a0 As a significant portion of the starch from either barley of corn is not digested before reaching the hind gut there is the possibility that this undigested starch could affect the microbial population causing digestive disturbances increasing the risk for colic and laminitis.\n\nThe processing of these grains greatly enhances prececal digestion as heating and mechanical description of the starch granules allows for greater digestion.

Dr. Coleman is currently an Associate Professor and Extension Horse Specialist at the University of Kentucky and recently was appointed Director of Undergraduate Studies for the new Equine Science and Management degree program.\n\nThe horse evolved as grazing animal that consumed a wide variety of forage plants.\u00a0 Within this array of forages there were a variety of carbohydrates that the horse was able to digest and utilize as an energy source.\u00a0 Today, there are a significant number of horses who, because of their physiological state, can be easily maintained on a high forage diet.\u00a0 Forages, and the carbohydrates they contain, are an important ingredient in all horse diets.\n\n\nWhy then has the horse industry become concerned about the carbohydrates in their horses\u2019 diets?\u00a0 This concern has some owners seeking low or no carbohydrate diets for their horses. This concern has even gone so far as to question if grass is safe for their horse. For some situations, horse owners should be concerned, as a number of health problems have been associated with excessive carbohydrate intakes.\u00a0 Horse owners are always on guard to prevent such problems as laminites or colic, which can be the result of excessive carbohydrate intakes. In reality while the carbohydrate may be the cause it is the horse owner who needs to address the issue as it is the horse owner that provides the excessive carbohydrate intakes.\n\nThe purpose of this presentation is not to downplay the problems associated with carbohydrates and horses, but to put them into perspective.\u00a0 After all, horses were born to eat grass and have been doing so for a long time. Therefore how can horse owners use the feeds available to them to in a safe and effective manner? In order to use these feeding and reduce the risks associated with them it is necessary to understand the sources of carbohydrate in the feeds being used.\n\nAs a grazer, the horse relies on forage, which is primarily made up of carbohydrates in different forms.\u00a0 The fiber fraction now referred to a neutral detergent fiber is made up of cellulose and hemicellulose.\u00a0 These forms of carbohydrate are also called polysaccharides as they are made up of multiple units of simple sugars but linked in a fashion that makes them resistant to mammalian enzyme digestion.\u00a0 These carbohydrates when utilized by the horse must be digested through the process of fermentation in the cecum and large intestine of the horse.\u00a0 It is here the microorganisms convert the fiber components into volatile fatty acids which are absorbed and used by the horse as an energy source.\n\nWhile the horse has an area in the digestive tract that uses microbial fermentation, this area is found in the later segment of the digestive tract.\u00a0 This organization of structures makes the horse a hind gut fermenter.\u00a0 The non fibrous fraction of forages, the other polysaccharides and soluble carbohydrates consumed are broken down by enzymatic digestion which occurs in the small intestine of the horse.\u00a0 This process produces simple sugars such as glucose and is a very energy efficient system for the horse. The combination of both enzymatic digestion and fermentation allow the horse to make good use of that wide variety of carbohydrate provided by both the forages and grains commonly fed.\n\nWhat are the different carbohydrates are found in common feeds?\u00a0 In forages, there are the fibrous forms, cellulose and hemicellulose, soluble carbohydrates, sugars and starches, and fructans. How these different carbohydrates are digested by the horse makes the difference and this will be discussed later. Table 1 shows the differences in two common forages as it relates to the NDF fractions (structural or fiber carbohydrates), the NFC fractions (non fiber carbohydrates) and the non structural carbohydrates which are made up of the soluble carbohydrate fraction.\n\nTable 1 Carbohydrate fractions in common forages (dry matter basis)\nFeedstuff\u00a0% NDF\u00a0% NFC\u00a0% NSC\nAlfalfa Hay\u00a043.1\u00a022.0\u00a012.5\nGrass Hay\u00a060.9\u00a016.6\u00a013.6\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Adapted from NRC 2007\n\nThe higher percentage of NDF in the grass hay is a primary reason why a forage of this type has a lower digestible energy value that the alfalfa hay has. This is due to a due to a higher percentage of carbohydrates that are lower in digestibility whereas the alfalfa hay has a much higher percentage of non fibrous carbohydrate that is readily digested in the small intestine resulting in a higher digestible energy value.\n\nDefining the various carbohydrate compounds will aid horse owners in making good decisions on how they should feed their horses.\u00a0 A recent suggestion reported in NRC 2007 divided carbohydrates into three categories.\u00a0 They are:\u00a0\n1)\u00a0The carbohydrates that are readily hydrolyzed and undergoes enzymatic digestion in the small intestine.\u00a0 This group would include the storage carbohydrates such as starch with the end product of digestion being glucose.\n2)\u00a0The rapidly fermented carbohydrates that are broken down by microbial fermentation in the hind gut. This group includes fructans (a polysaccharide made up of glucose and fructose) resistant starches found in some cereal grains, and some hemicellulose.\u00a0 The products of digestion are the different volatile fatty acids (VFA\u2019s).\n3)\u00a0The slowly fermented carbohydrates that are also broken down by microbial fermentation in the hind gut.\u00a0 This group includes the cellulose and hemicellulose (primarily from forages) and also yield VFA\u2019s as a product of digestion.\n\nWhile these categories simplify the process in many areas, laboratory analysis is not readily available to quantify the different carbohydrates.\u00a0 This is changing and in the near future most forage analysis will provide a more comprehensive analysis.\nCarbohydrate Concerns\nGrain Concerns - Horses will be fed diets high in carbohydrates but there are situations where caution is advised.\u00a0 For the horse at maintenance, energy needs can be easily met with a reasonable quality forage.\u00a0 However, for the performance horse, more calories are required and it has been a common practice to feed a concentrate rations to increase caloric intake.\u00a0 In most situations, this meant feeding cereal grains with high levels of starch.\u00a0 The common grains used in horse diets would be oats, corn and barley.\u00a0 Table 2 (next page) notes the level of starch found in these cereal grains.\n\nTable 2 \u2013 Levels of Starch in Common Grains (dry matter basis)\nGrain\u00a0% Starch\u00a0% NDF\nBarley\u00a054\u00a019.6\nOats\u00a044.3\u00a027.9\nCorn\u00a072.3\u00a09.1\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Adopted from NRC 2007\n\nFrom this table, it is easy to see why oats have been considered a safer feed. This grain has higher fiber value and lower total starch content than the other cereal grains commonly fed. When fed to horses a greater daily intake would be required to provide a similar starch intake when compared to either corn or barley. This however is not the whole story. Another reason that oats may be safer is the structure of the starch and its relative digestibility.\u00a0 That is because not all starches are created equal. The structure of the starch in the different cereal grains makes some more resistant to enzymatic digestion in the small intestine of the horse. Results from early research trials indicate that over 95% of all starch from cereal grains is digested by the horse.\u00a0 These trials however looked at total tract digestion and the results were not unexpected. It is know that any starch not digested in the small intestine will be rapidly digested by the microbes in the hind gut.\u00a0 Therefore the combination of both types of digestion results in almost total disappearance of starch.\n\nOther research has shown that there are significant differences in the small intestinal digestion of starch from the different cereal grains.\u00a0 Prececal digestion for oat starch is about 85% while the starch from barley and corn is less than 30% digested.\u00a0 This means that there is a significant portion of the starch in corn and barley resistant to enzymatic digestion.\u00a0 As a significant portion of the starch from either barley of corn is not digested before reaching the hind gut there is the possibility that this undigested starch could affect the microbial population causing digestive disturbances increasing the risk for colic and laminitis.\n\nThe processing of these grains greatly enhances prececal digestion as heating and mechanical description of the starch granules allows for greater digestion.

The micro pig is intelligent, fond of people, and unlike dogs, do not need to be walked. Below we share the top five things that you need to know about the micro pig before choosing one as your family pet.\n\n1. How big do they grow?\n\nThe size of the micro pig is a huge consideration when it comes to planning your outside and indoor living space for your new pet. Generally, they can reach a height of up to 16 inches and can weight up to 65 pounds. This usually occurs around two years of age.\n\n2. How long do they live?\n\nMicro pigs can live anywhere between five to 10 years, according to the RSPCA. However, it is not unusual for a micro pig to live for up to 25 years if they are healthy and well looked after.\n\n3. Can you potty train them?\n\nThis is probably a question that many of us think about, but never dare ask. The good news is that yes, you can. This, however, can take a lot of time and perseverance. Just remember that micro pigs are clean animals and will not use a toilet near their bed. It\u2019s also a good idea to use positive reinforcement and to have an area outside for toilet purposes.\n\n4. Can they be kept indoors?\n\nThis very much depends upon your indoor living space. Ideally, they should be kept outdoors, but if you have an indoor living space that is at least 36 square metres, and has access to the outside, then this is also acceptable.\n\n5. The outdoor area\n\nThe most important aspect here is that your micro pig can roam free in a safe outdoor space. It needs to be able to provide lots of space and to prevent the micro pig from escaping. As the micro pig is not very good at regulating its temperature, they are very prone to heatstroke. For this reason, they need to have shelter from the sun.\n\nPrevious ArticleNext Article\n\n6 tips for feeding hedgehogs 0 1532\n\nHow to feed hedgehogs\n\n\n1. Commit to feeding hedgehogs\n\n\n2.

The purchaser does not need a mortgage or any other type of financing to complete the transaction and is willing to pay cash to close the transaction. A cash buyer enjoys an advantage over other buyers who need a mortgage because the seller is interested in choosing a buyer who can close the transaction quickly without an uncertain underwriting process.\n\n\nCash Offer\n\n\nFor a mortgaged buyer, there is no guarantee that the lender will approve the loan. Various factors such as credit score and home appraisal may cause the bank to reject the loan application. These factors make a financed offer usually less attractive to the seller, as compared to a cash offer that comes with no strings attached.\n\n\nHow to Make a Cash Offer on a House\n\nDepending on the nature of the market, a cash offer provides several benefits to both the seller and the buyer. The buyer should follow the right procedure when making a cash offer to make sure it is accepted by the seller over other offers. Here is how to do it the right way:\n\n\n1. Accumulate cash into one account\n\nA buyer can source cash from various sources such as personal savings, cash gifts from family and friends, inheritance money, employment income, business income, etc. Accumulating the funds into one account can make it easy to track the money you will need at the time of closing. It will also be easy to produce one bank statement as proof of funds rather than having to provide multiple documents to the seller as proof of funds.\n\nIf the buyer intends to use proceeds from the sale of securities or real estate, the assets should be liquidated into cash before entering into a sale contract. The buyer should have ready cash before sitting down with an agent of the seller to write an offer to buy the property.\n\n\n2. Prepare a budget for home-buying expenses\n\nApart from having ready cash for the real estate property, the buyer should also have a budget for other home-buying expenses. Some of the expenses may include property taxes, home inspection fees, and homeowner association fees. The total budget for all the expenses varies from state to state. The buyer should check out the specific costs before entering into a purchase contract.\n\n\n3. Create the cash offer\n\nThe buyer or his/her agent should fill the form used in the state where the property is located. The buyer should include a modest deposit that boosts the credibility of the offer. They should also attach a copy of the latest bank statement as proof that the buyer has the funds required to close the transaction.\n\nPresenting a cash offer removes the need for a financing contingency, which is a common requirement in real estate transactions where the buyer is using bank financing. Depending on market conditions, the buyer may present a lower offer than what other bidders with financing are offering the seller. The seller may be willing to accept a lower purchase price in exchange for being able to close a deal quickly.\n\n\n4. Make the deal attractive\n\nWhere the seller is presented with a host of cash offers from interested bidders, the buyer will need to sweeten the deal to convince the seller that their offer is the best. Since a cash offer does not involve an underwriting process, the buyer may propose a nearby closing date of about 10 days instead of the usual 30 to 40 days or more.\n\nIf the property is new or recently renovated, the buyer can remove the home inspection contingency and offer to conduct a home inspection for information purposes only. Another way to sweeten the deal is to offer a premium price that is above all existing offers.\n\n\nBenefits of a Cash Offer\n\nThe following are some of the reasons why sellers prefer a cash offer over other offers with loan financing:\n\n\n1. Fast closing\n\nA buyer who is offering cash for the purchase of a home does not need the lengthy waiting period of a traditional home sale. Once all the required contingencies have been met, the two parties can close the transaction in less than 10 days. The seller will get their money sooner, and the buyer will take over the ownership of the property within a short duration.\n\nIf the buyer is using loan financing, the process can go longer than a month as the lender verifies the creditworthiness of the buyer. If there are questions regarding the credibility of the borrower, the lender will not approve the loan, which will derail the process.\n\n\n2. No contingencies\n\nA traditional home sale that includes a mortgaged home buyer typically requires various contingencies before the transaction can be closed. Some of the contingencies include home inspection, appraisal, mortgage financing, etc. The contingencies serve to slow down the process. In the case of a cash offer, the buyer may choose to skip the contingencies and remove potential stumbling blocks that may derail the purchase of the property.\n\n\nDrawbacks of a Cash Offer\n\nDespite its advantages, a cash offer also comes with a number of drawbacks, including:\n\n\n1. Tying up funds\n\nBuyers will be tying up a lot of funds by offering to pay for the property all at once. They may face a shortage", "base_doc": " well as some potent healing grass.

No contingencies\n\nA traditional home sale that includes a mortgaged home buyer typically requires various contingencies before the transaction can be closed. Some of the contingencies include home inspection, appraisal, mortgage financing, etc. The contingencies serve to slow down the process. In the case of a cash offer, the buyer may choose to skip the contingencies and remove potential stumbling blocks that may derail the purchase of the property.\n\n\nDrawbacks of a Cash Offer\n\nDespite its advantages, a cash offer also comes with a number of drawbacks, including:\n\n\n1. Tying up funds\n\nBuyers will be tying up a lot of funds by offering to pay for the property all at once. They may face a shortage of cash that could have been used to invest in other assets.\n\n\n2. Sacrifice tax deductions\n\nA buyer that uses a mortgage to purchase a real estate property enjoys tax breaks on the mortgage interest payments. When a buyer decides to purchase a home using cash only, they miss out on the tax deductions that they would\u2019ve enjoyed if they used mortgage financing to complete the transaction.\n\n\nMore Resources\n\n\nTo keep learning and developing your knowledge of financial analysis, we highly recommend the additional CFI resources below:\n\n \u2022 Cash Consideration\n \u2022 Commercial Real Estate Broker\n \u2022 Debt vs. Equity Financing", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 181596, "pt_loc": 113011527, "pt_shuffle_idx": 134687433, "doc_index_f": 211103994, "doc_index_l": 211103996, "offset_f": 1548, "offset_l": 1240, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 197, "pt_injection_len": 327, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [197, 611, 1241]} +{"pt_doc": ", 2 kinds of sergeant coat and 9 kinds of soldier coat.\n 3.Finally, the most important point!!!!! as same as my greatcoat mod ,I used the belts, medals and other materials from the former Soviet summer uniform mod.

Well, so is this cake. Just look at it, oozing sticky sweet caramel, packed with bananas and whipped double cream, not to mention the peanut buttercream frosting topped with caramelised peanuts. I'm gaining weight just looking at it. This cake is a showstopper. It's the one you make to silence your mother-in-law. It's the one you make when jaws need to drop. It's the one you gift to a frenemy two weeks before a camera loaded event... this is a sweet cake for mean girls. But before you drop this cake bomb be warned, it tastes phenomenal and once you've tried it self-sabotage is the only possible outcome.\n\nYou will need:\n100g softened unsalted butter\n250g unsalted peanuts\n100g honey\n200g light brown muscovado sugar\n8 ripe bananas (700g peeled weight) 4 mashed and 4 sliced\nJuice of 1/2 a lemon\n3 eggs (separated)\n25g peanut butter\n225g plain flour\n1tsp baking powder\n1/2tsp salt\n3 tbsp caramel or toffee sauce\n150ml double cream, whipped\n\nFor the peanut buttercreamfrosting:\n50g softened unsalted butter\n100g peanut butter\n150g icing sugar\n2tbsp double cream\n\nPreheat the oven to 180\u00baC\nBake time is 45 minutes\nPrepare two cake tins and line the base of each with baking parchment.\n\nToast the peanuts in a pan (do not add oil or butter) until they are golden turning and tossing them regularly then set them aside. On a low heat in a non-stick pan gently heat together 75g of honey and 75g of sugar until they have melted and dissolved into each other, the colour should be deep caramel. Tip the peanuts in and stir until they are fully coated then transfer to a tray lined with parchment paper to cool completely. Once cooled blitz them in a food processor or smash to pieces with a rolling pin.\n\nIn a separate bowl cream the butter with the remaining 125g of sugar and 25g of honey until fluffy, beat in the mashed banana, lemon juice, egg yolks and peanut butter. Once combined add the flour, baking powder and salt and stir until incorporated. \u00a0Finally add 3/4 of the caramelised peanuts keeping some of the larger pieces for decoration.\n\nIn a separate clean bowl whisk the egg whites into stiff peaks then carefully fold the egg whites into the cake batter until it is fully combined.\n\nDivide the batter equally between two cake tins and bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Do not open the oven door for the first 35 minutes of the bake. This is a dense cake and it will not rise properly/ will sink if the humidity and temperature change suddenly half way through the bake.\n\nAllow the cake to cool for five minutes in the tin before transferring to a wire rack to cool fully. Remove the parchment paper when you transfer the cake to a wire wrack.\n\nTo make the buttercream whisk together the butter, peanut butter and icing sugar until it is light and fluffy, then slowly add the double cream while continuing to whisk.\n\nTo assemble place the lower cake on a cake stand, layer with caramel, sliced bananas and whipped cream. Gently place the other cake on top and spread the buttercream over the top. Decorate with the remaining caramelised peanuts and if you're going to eat it that day the rest of the sliced bananas.\n\nEnjoy as you see fit.\n\n*With thanks to Waitrose Kitchen magazine for the recipe.\n\n\n 1.

Go where the action is\n My initial thing was to move to New York. I was studying at RISD in Rhode Island, and everybody said to move to New York. I told two of the designers [at the ArtsThread event] who live in London that to start, they should probably come to New York. You can't go to L.A. or anywhere else. They told me they wanted to come to the U.S., but I said Nope, you only have to come to New York! It's good for young designers and design in general.\n\n 2. Get an internship\u00a0\n There's not any kind of formula. I interned, of course. I interned for Anna Sui and threeASFOUR. Anna Sui was really good for me because Anna Sui was really corporate, and it taught me all the different areas in Midtown to take fabric to, and other things. I used to write down addresses for god knows what reason, but it was just in case I ever wanted to put buttons on a shirt and not have to do it myself.\u00a0threeASFOUR was kind of different because it was more avant-garde. I was sewing for threeASFOUR and doing a lot of hands-on work, which was really different from the corporate world of Anna Sui. My advice to young designers would be to try to get a medium [balance] of both of those [worlds] if you can. threeASFOUR is really special, and I don't think it's easy to find that in New York. It's like interning for me, where you have to do a lot of actual labor!\n\n 3. Get involved in initiatives like ArtsThread\u00a0\n I just really liked seeing the clothes [the winning designers created]. It's really important for young people to get exposed this way. It's something that I never had, and it would have been amazing.

This report is a write up of that.\n\nThis park is located in the centre of Gothenburg and is an amazing city park with attractions and entertainment to keep all generations and coaster riders happy.\n\nRabalder is a recent addition to the park replacing a childrens coaster with one that's a little bit bigger and a little more fun to ride. Being the smallest coaster in the park we got it out of the way and the park had very kindly given us the opportunity to ride this before opening the public as a general introduction to the welcome.\n\nLisebergbahn is a large terrain coaster situated on the hill within the park. This ride is approaching 25 years of age, usually a sign that it's going to be rough. However the park has maintained the ride superbly and it still runs extremely well. We got to ride this for a full hour and choosing a seat in the middle meant that I didn't have to leave my seat (there's a lot of interest from others in riding in the front and back)\n\nIf a worst coaster had to be chosen from those in the park then unfortunately it would be Kanonen. It's an amazing use of space compressing a lot of track into a small footprint, but with that comes some pretty violent transitions and a stupidly slow inline twist that serves to provide bruised shoulders as a souvenir to those who ride it.\n\nA year or so ago the park the replaced an observation tower with a stupidly high drop ride. Called \"Atmos Fear\" this ride was providing mixed responses with some deeming it too slow and braking too soon and others saying it was great. Watching the reactions of those riding gave the impression of the latter and perhaps I was fortunate but every time I rode it we dropped very quickly indeed and the ride was great!\n\nThe final ride of the day was on their exemplary coaster Balder. I've had mixed experiences on this with some new wheels causing the ride to crawl on the last trip in 2007. Those wheels had now bedded in and the ride had returned back to it's former glory. Despite a slight degradation of smoothness on some of the turns the ride is just as good as when I first rode it eight years ago with ridiculous airtime on every hill.\n\nOur itinerary had us returning to Liseberg in a few days time and as I'd been here before it was a very relaxed day for me, especially given the travelling I'd been subjecting myself in the days leading up to the trip. So more on Liseberg later.\n\nKolm\u00e5rdens Djurpark\n\nThis is a fairly new park for the coaster hunters as they only added one in 2009. The park is a huge animal and safari park that takes quite some time to cover and in places is pretty steep too. So bring a good pair of walking shoes.\n\nSafari Parks are notorious for becoming nothing more than a traffic jam surrounded by animals where drivers run the risk of getting perhaps a little too close to the animals than liked. This park took the novel of idea of leaving the cars in the car park and using a cable car system to take you around the animals instead. The upshot is a lot more stress-free for all. The car at it's lowest point is just 2 metres above the ground and that's in the lion enclosure getting you very close to the animals indeed. However like in Hollywood where you should never work with animals you still run the risk of them not playing ball and on our ride the lions were seeking refuge away from the cable car route.\n\nAway from the safari park there are a large number of spacious enclosures for the animals to wander and bask in the sun. I'm usually not a fan of seeing animals in any sort of captivity but they all seemed very content here however there was one snow leopard doing the pacing back-and-forth thing, which is usually a sign that something isn't right but that was the exception.\n\nThe roller coaster is called Delfinexpressen and is a rollerskater ride that was good for a couple of goes but not much else. It looks like the park has been testing the waters with some rides and if rumours are to be believed will be getting some more including which could put it on the map in the same way Balder did for Liseberg.\n\nFor those wishing to escape into the shade then the dolphin show was the best place. I'd never been in a fully indoor show before and credit to this park for putting together an excellent show with the obligatory dolphin tricks and a couple of new ones all put together with some great production.\n\nThis is the city park of Stockholm and is quite simply one of the best parks in the world.

So you may not want to spend the money.\n\n1 Like\n\nI won\u2019t then. Thank you for the information. I guess this is as good as it gets!\n\nHave you considered painting over the buckle, using the forge to burn off the paint, then etching the zinc, possibly with an alkali, rather than acid?\nNot sure of my chemistry, as it\u2019s been a lifetime since I worked in a lab, but might be worth a try.\n\n1 Like\n\nAppreciate the feedback! I didn\u2019t paint; however, I spray dry moly on it (confirmed alternative to cermark). And ran it twice. It does etch it, but only slightly. Still paying with applicants and power/speeds but it looks like I won\u2019t get much better than what I show in my pic.

This report is a write up of that.\n\nThis park is located in the centre of Gothenburg and is an amazing city park with attractions and entertainment to keep all generations and coaster riders happy.\n\nRabalder is a recent addition to the park replacing a childrens coaster with one that's a little bit bigger and a little more fun to ride. Being the smallest coaster in the park we got it out of the way and the park had very kindly given us the opportunity to ride this before opening the public as a general introduction to the welcome.\n\nLisebergbahn is a large terrain coaster situated on the hill within the park. This ride is approaching 25 years of age, usually a sign that it's going to be rough. However the park has maintained the ride superbly and it still runs extremely well. We got to ride this for a full hour and choosing a seat in the middle meant that I didn't have to leave my seat (there's a lot of interest from others in riding in the front and back)\n\nIf a worst coaster had to be chosen from those in the park then unfortunately it would be Kanonen. It's an amazing use of space compressing a lot of track into a small footprint, but with that comes some pretty violent transitions and a stupidly slow inline twist that serves to provide bruised shoulders as a souvenir to those who ride it.\n\nA year or so ago the park the replaced an observation tower with a stupidly high drop ride. Called \"Atmos Fear\" this ride was providing mixed responses with some deeming it too slow and braking too soon and others saying it was great. Watching the reactions of those riding gave the impression of the latter and perhaps I was fortunate but every time I rode it we dropped very quickly indeed and the ride was great!\n\nThe final ride of the day was on their exemplary coaster Balder. I've had mixed experiences on this with some new wheels causing the ride to crawl on the last trip in 2007. Those wheels had now bedded in and the ride had returned back to it's former glory. Despite a slight degradation of smoothness on some of the turns the ride is just as good as when I first rode it eight years ago with ridiculous airtime on every hill.\n\nOur itinerary had us returning to Liseberg in a few days time and as I'd been here before it was a very relaxed day for me, especially given the travelling I'd been subjecting myself in the days leading up to the trip. So more on Liseberg later.\n\nKolm\u00e5rdens Djurpark\n\nThis is a fairly new park for the coaster hunters as they only added one in 2009. The park is a huge animal and safari park that takes quite some time to cover and in places is pretty steep too. So bring a good pair of walking shoes.\n\nSafari Parks are notorious for becoming nothing more than a traffic jam surrounded by animals where drivers run the risk of getting perhaps a little too close to the animals than liked. This park took the novel of idea of leaving the cars in the car park and using a cable car system to take you around the animals instead. The upshot is a lot more stress-free for all. The car at it's lowest point is just 2 metres above the ground and that's in the lion enclosure getting you very close to the animals indeed. However like in Hollywood where you should never work with animals you still run the risk of them not playing ball and on our ride the lions were seeking refuge away from the cable car route.\n\nAway from the safari park there are a large number of spacious enclosures for the animals to wander and bask in the sun. I'm usually not a fan of seeing animals in any sort of captivity but they all seemed very content here however there was one snow leopard doing the pacing back-and-forth thing, which is usually a sign that something isn't right but that was the exception.\n\nThe roller coaster is called Delfinexpressen and is a rollerskater ride that was good for a couple of goes but not much else. It looks like the park has been testing the waters with some rides and if rumours are to be believed will be getting some more including which could put it on the map in the same way Balder did for Liseberg.\n\nFor those wishing to escape into the shade then the dolphin show was the best place. I'd never been in a fully indoor show before and credit to this park for putting together an excellent show with the obligatory dolphin tricks and a couple of new ones all put together with some great production.\n\nThis is the city park of Stockholm and is quite simply one of the best parks in the world. With a decent selection of rides, all run extremely well and very friendly park staff and locals I love visiting this park. Following a welcome from the park we were let loose for an afternoon and evening of coaster riding.\n\nFirst up was the new kiddy coaster which can be found just inside the main entrance. Called Tuff Tuff Taget this was just a simple series of hairpins that brought you back into the station. Fortunately we were only sent around for two laps so the\u00a0embarrassment\u00a0factor was kept low.\n\nInsane is a Zacspin coaster which for those who don't know is one where you move on a single plane but the cars are free to rotate forwards and backwards (and over and over) as they negotiate the twisting course. I'd ridden one of these before in Finland but that was the smallest model in the range. This was the next size up and completely lived up to its name with proper physical forces not helped by our car choosing to do a lot of the circuit upside down.\n\nBlu Taget (Blue Train) is the park's signature dark ride and had been rebuilt and moved slightly to make way for another ride. In reconstructing the ride the park had taken the opportunity to bring it up to date with a new track and a high-tech car with effects built within it. This was a lot of fun and a step-change in the enjoyment offered compared to it's earlier incarnation, which was still great.\n\nVilda Musen and Jetline are two rollercoasters that are ent", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 184868, "pt_loc": 69054530, "pt_shuffle_idx": 15545851, "doc_index_f": 24373071, "doc_index_l": 24373072, "offset_f": 285, "offset_l": 1369, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 321, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [679, 1370]} +{"pt_doc": "Server.ReportingService2006.ListParents(String Item)\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters)\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0at Microsoft.SqlServer.ReportingServices2006.ReportingService2006.ListParents(String Item)\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0at Microsoft.ReportingServices.SharePoint.Soap.ReportService2006.ListParents(String Item)\n\nBut other reports in different sites of the same farm seemed to be working fine.

Though Amory Lovins claimed in 1984 that energy efficiency would allow US electricity to decrease, by 2007 electricity use had grown by 66%. (p. 138)\n\nGusher convincingly shows a strong interconnection between energy use, labor productivity and growth in the Gross Domestic Product. These connections cannot be offset by energy efficiency. As long ago as 1867, William Stanley Jevons showed that increases in the efficiency of coal use resulted in an increase (not a decrease) in the use of coal.\n\nNor does Bryce swallow the myth that solar or wind power can ever amount to more than a small fraction of the energy needs of an expanding market economy. Charging that \"ethanol is one of the biggest frauds ever perpetrated,\" (p. 11) he notes that ethanol has costs that are higher, efficiency that is lower, and greenhouse gases that are worse than oil. Producing a gallon of oil requires about 2.8 gallons of fresh water, while a gallon of corn-based ethanol requires 885 gallons of fresh water (pp. 188-189), making it an ecological as well as an economic travesty.\n\n...the entire concept of \"energy independence\" is pointless.\n\nAs the subtitle of Gusher indicates, the entire concept of \"energy independence\" is pointless. While the US imports 60% of its oil, it imports an even higher proportion of essential minerals and other raw materials. (p. 16) No modern economy can or should be \"independent\" of the rest of the world.\n\nAnd the author sees a major problem with the US' extracting raw materials such as oil by force. Bryce despises the use of militarism and instead embraces globalism and trade. Noting that \"the Second Iraq war is, largely, about controlling the flow of that country's oil\" (p. 23), he derides the role of the US as international cop (p. 290), and describes the war on terrorism as more dangerous than terrorists. (p. 266)\n\nYet Bryce's solutions are as unworkable as the ideas he debunks. His alternative rests on two horrible premises: the US population must expand its limitless supply of junk, and this expansion requires more oil, gas and nuclear power. Very early on, Bryce decrees that \"America needs energy, and lots of it.\" (p. 10) Later, he lets his readers know that object worship is eternal: \"As people get richer, they want more stuff.\" (p. 133)\n\nThese \"solutions\" quickly become snared in a web of contradictions.\n\nThe concepts \"biodiversity\" and \"habitat destruction\" are not part of Gusher. Unprecedented species extinction is apparently a price well worth paying in order to amass trinkets. Bryce downplays the exhaustion of oil fields and claims that people \"have no choice but to adapt to the changing global climate.\" (p. 268) Oblivious to environmental threats, he endorses offshore oil drilling.\n\nWith tunnel vision on expanding energy, Bryce touts nuclear power. He claims nukes produce less waste and are more economically viable.\n\nThese \"solutions\" quickly become snared in a web of contradictions.

But he treats the desire for more stuff as a value which must be accepted, revealing his willingness to pick and choose which beliefs he is willing to confront.

Though he acknowledges that fossil fuels will one day be exhausted, he urges policy makers to rush to hasten the depletion.\n\nHis discussion of favored alternatives uses vastly different standards than for options he disdains. First, he correctly notes resource limitations of solar, wind and ethanol, but vastly understates limitations for gas, oil and nukes. Use of the phrase \"at current rates of extraction\" (pp. 211, 247) can easily lull readers into missing the fact that rates of extraction must increase with demand, hastening resource Judgment Day.\n\nHis second contradiction in standards is worker safety. When critiquing ethanol, Bryce admirably describes the horrendous effects sugarcane production has on workers.

London: Earthscan, 2009, 192 pp. $24.95. ISBN 978-1-84407-675-8 (hbk.)\n\nBoyle and Simms fill in a good part of what Bryce leaves out. Gusher is based on the liberal corporate assumption that the emptiness which people feel in their lives can be filled by accumulating physical objects. It assumes an economics of growth without asking why we must produce more and more things when there is already an obscene glut of commodities.\n\nIn sharp contrast, The New Economics points out that economic growth has not reduced poverty or improved the quality of people's lives and that the \"system has to move faster and faster just to keep still, generating new desires and unsatisfiable wants, leading to depression, disaffection and environmental degradation.\" (p. 11)\n\nThe authors illustrate that \"growth\" is often nothing more than a society running in circles with increasing frenzy. In 1900, the average speed for traveling through London was 12 mph. A century of autos, highways and pollution could only drop that speed to 11.8 mph. (p. 65) In 1495, peasants needed to work 15 weeks per year; but now, all adults in a household can work over 50 weeks per year without being able to survive. (p. 79)\n\nA good part of the problem is that 80% of products are discarded after a single use. (p. 100) Boyle and Simms point out that reliance on money contributes to the problem, since money can be a disincentive: more people give blood from a desire to help than do those who donate for pay. They trace the original sin of growth to private banks making loans which must be paid back with interest, thereby enriching bankers and compelling economic expansion.\n\nThe New Economics searches for different ways for humans to achieve well-being", "base_doc": " wisdom that the economy can grow while using less energy. Though Amory Lovins claimed in 1984 that energy efficiency would allow US electricity to decrease, by 2007 electricity use had grown by 66%. (p. 138)\n\nGusher convincingly shows a strong interconnection between energy use, labor productivity and growth in the Gross Domestic Product. These connections cannot be offset by energy efficiency. As long ago as 1867, William Stanley Jevons showed that increases in the efficiency of coal use resulted in an increase (not a decrease) in the use of coal.\n\nNor does Bryce swallow the myth that solar or wind power can ever amount to more than a small fraction of the energy needs of an expanding market economy. Charging that \"ethanol is one of the biggest frauds ever perpetrated,\" (p. 11) he notes that ethanol has costs that are higher, efficiency that is lower, and greenhouse gases that are worse than oil. Producing a gallon of oil requires about 2.8 gallons of fresh water, while a gallon of corn-based ethanol requires 885 gallons of fresh water (pp. 188-189), making it an ecological as well as an economic travesty.\n\n...the entire concept of \"energy independence\" is pointless.\n\nAs the subtitle of Gusher indicates, the entire concept of \"energy independence\" is pointless. While the US imports 60% of its oil, it imports an even higher proportion of essential minerals and other raw materials. (p. 16) No modern economy can or should be \"independent\" of the rest of the world.\n\nAnd the author sees a major problem with the US' extracting raw materials such as oil by force. Bryce despises the use of militarism and instead embraces globalism and trade. Noting that \"the Second Iraq war is, largely, about controlling the flow of that country's oil\" (p. 23), he derides the role of the US as international cop (p. 290), and describes the war on terrorism as more dangerous than terrorists. (p. 266)\n\nYet Bryce's solutions are as unworkable as the ideas he debunks. His alternative rests on two horrible premises: the US population must expand its limitless supply of junk, and this expansion requires more oil, gas and nuclear power. Very early on, Bryce decrees that \"America needs energy, and lots of it.\" (p. 10) Later, he lets his readers know that object worship is eternal: \"As people get richer, they want more stuff.\" (p. 133)\n\nThese \"solutions\" quickly become snared in a web of contradictions.\n\nThe concepts \"biodiversity\" and \"habitat destruction\" are not part of Gusher. Unprecedented species extinction is apparently a price well worth paying in order to amass trinkets. Bryce downplays the exhaustion of oil fields and claims that people \"have no choice but to adapt to the changing global climate.\" (p. 268) Oblivious to environmental threats, he endorses offshore oil drilling.\n\nWith tunnel vision on expanding energy, Bryce touts nuclear power. He claims nukes produce less waste and are more economically viable.\n\nThese \"solutions\" quickly become snared in a web of contradictions. His work is devoted to attacking the pervasive belief in a need for oil independence.

Even the country\u2019s relatively recent transition from authoritarianism to democratic rule was not enough to spark liberal-market reform and the country\u2019s integration into the global economy. The Haitian people have thus been confined to decades of deprivation, under a variety of regimes that span the political spectrum.\n\nDespite the rapid series of regime changes that have occurred in Haiti over the past twenty five years, fundamental shifts in the nature of the state have not materialized. Haiti is essentially a case of economic non-reform; it has failed to undergo neoliberal reforms and become integrated in the global market. As the country moves away from dictatorship and through a series of democratically elected governments, it becomes increasingly evident that the nature of the country\u2019s economic program is not dependent on ideology. Neither dictator nor elected president has been able to modernize Haiti\u2019s devastatingly backwards economy. Instead, economic programs are designed in a context of pervasive political instability; their character is therefore dictated largely by pragmatism and a need to \u2018crisis manage\u2019.\n\nRegime type in Haiti is inconsequential; what determines whether neoliberal reform is initiated is regime stability. This decisive element is, in turn, dependent on a host of factors, from institutional strength, to the nature and extent of international involvement.\n\n\nSince the fall of the Duvalier dictatorship, Haiti has witnessed a rapid succession of political leaders. After Francois Duvalier won the presidency in 1957, his rule quickly degenerated into a brutal dictatorship. Duvalier and his son would rule Haiti by authoritarian decree for a combined twenty-nine years, their command ending in February 1986. It was only in 1990 that Jean-Betrand Aristide became Haiti\u2019s first democratically elected President, with Rene Preval as his Prime Minister. But even this elected government was only able to serve seven months in office, before being overthrown in a coup and replaced by a military-backed regime that ruled for four years before Aristide was reinstated.1 The constitution forbids consecutive terms, but allows for reelection.2 For this reason, power over the past decade has thus been passed between Aristide, Preval and a number of transitional governments.3 After Aristide failed to serve out his third term, Rene Preval was re-elected on February 7, 2006.\n\nTwo characteristics define the Haitian economy. One is its lack of real growth over the past half century; the other is the lack of correlation between the regime in power and the nature of the economic program. Haiti is one of the poorest countries, on a per capita basis, in the Western Hemisphere. While real growth in GDP averaged 5.2% in the years following Duvalier\u2019s dictatorship, it fell to 2.9% in 1996, and has since dropped to less than 1%.4 The transition from military rule to democratic governance has not witnessed a simultaneous growth in the economy; Haiti is poorer in real terms today than it was in 1955, before Duvalier assumed control.5 It faces not just stagnation, but actual decline. According to Robert Fatton Jr., \u201cHaiti still hovers on the verge of political catastrophe; it faces economic ruin.\u201d6 Moreover, the system of rapidly changing regimes further works against neoliberal reform by preventing any type of coordinated strategy for reform from being implemented.\n\nThe (Non) Relationship Between Regime Type and Economic Strategy\n\nPervasive economic stagnation, and in some cases real decline, has occurred alongside great oscillations in political character. Manufacturing\u2019s contribution to GDP is now less than half of what it was under the military-backed regime of 1991.7 However, this decline in the manufacturing sector did not occur instantaneously when Haiti transitioned to democracy; rather, economic decline in real terms has been a gradual process. Even within the context of democratic rule, GNI per capita has decreased drastically from $1464 in 2002 to $400 in 2006.8\n\nThe modest level of integration into the world economy has at best remained constant over time. Despite its membership in the United Nations, \u201cHaiti has avoided close ties with its neighboring countries\u2026 [and has distanced] itself from moves toward Caribbean economic and political integration.\u201d9 According to Alonso and Hicks, international trade contributed more to Haiti\u2019s GDP under the military-backed regime of 1991 (18.3%) than it did under Preval in 2000 (14.0%).10\n\nWith respect to the nature of the economic program, there is no apparent correspondence between authoritarianism and state intervention, or alternatively, between democracy and the goal of free-market reform. Jean-Claude Duvalier, the second Duvalier dictator, embraced a \u201crelatively \u2018open\u2019 technocratic project.\u201d Unlike his father, he promised \u201ceconomic revolution;\u201d his limited efforts towards liberalization in the 1970s allowed for modest integration into the global economy and additionally contributed to a resurgence of civil society.11 In contrast, Aristide, the first president to be elected under free-and-fair elections, released \u201cmultiple condemnations [against] imperialist and capitalist exploitation\u201d and denounced [the World Bank and the IMF] \u201cas vile capitalist instruments sucking Haiti\u2019s blood.\u201d12 Thus, in Haiti, there is no defining relationship between regime type and economic strategy. Rather, the process is astonishingly capricious; leaders have the political autonomy to embrace or reject neoliberal reform according to their own whim.\n\nEconomic policy in Haiti is dictated by a need for pragmatism, rather than by ideology. For example, Fatton Jr. argues that despite his radical socialist rhetoric, Aristide committed himself to a fairly moderate economic program. He had few alternatives. Recognizing the need to maintain relations with the \u2018nationalist bourgeoisie\u2019, to court international investment, and to coexist with international organizations, \u201cAristide acquiesced to a program of structural adjustment designed by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund \u2026 He espoused strict fiscal austerity, an anticorruption drive, and the modernization of public enterprise. These economic reforms achieved significant success and gained massive international support.\u201d13 Thus, limited neoliberal reform was finally embraced in Haiti only because the international and domestic systems demanded it.\n\nThe Context: Political and Social Volatility\n\nStability on the streets has remained tenuous, and violence continues to threaten governability. \u201cNear anarchy\u2026 reigned for two years after President Jean-Betrand Aristide was ousted in 2004\u201d and the police force essentially collapsed. In 2006, it was expected to take up to three years for a new police force to reach the minimum required strength of 20, 000. President Preval has therefore requested that the UN Peacekeeping mission to Haiti be extended.14\n\nIn 2004, local militia groups took control of provincial capitals, forcing the Organization of American States to call upon the assistance of UN troops.15 In 2005 and 2006, urban violence in Port-au-Prince interfered with preparations for elections.16\n\nAmidst this violence, governments are faced with a situation in which they must \u2018crises manage,\u2019 rather than rule. According to Alex Dupuy, the sole task of the provisional government, which took over prior to Preval\u2019s reelection in 2006, was \u201cto pacify the country\u2026 and this basically meant cracking down on Aristide supporters.\u201d Rather than dedicating itself to reform, the administration was limited to pursuing a \u2018scorched-earth strategy,\u2019 which involved rounding up and arbitrarily arresting prominent Aristide party officials.17 Einsiedel and Malone further assert that this policy of \u2018crises management\u2019 has been reflected in the nature of UN involvement in Haiti; while the UN previously was involved in a broad range of activities, its efforts have subsequently been \u201creduced to a small international police force aimed at building a domestic police capacity.\u201d18 The UN, subject to the same restrictions as the domestic government, must too limit its role to policing.", "base_doc": " people born in 2009, 1 in 58 will be diagnosed with melanoma.17\u2014nearly 25 times the rate for people born in 1935.18\n\nThe mission of this website is to educate about skin cancer and provide skin protection information in a relevant and interesting manner\u00a0to 15-29 year-olds.<|endoftext|>Fragile Foundations and Infant Institutions: The Case of Non-Reform in Haiti\n\nBy Katie Engelhart\nCornell International Affairs Review\n\nHaiti has earned the dubious distinction of being one of the poorest nations, on a per capita basis, in the world.

Ruling classes have no vision beyond the day-to-day struggle of maintaining power. Lacking a coherent ideology and national strategy, their decision-making never includes longer-term considerations. Amidst this \u201cinstitutionalization of uncertainty,\u201d governments can do nothing more than act as policing bodies.19\n\nAccording to Assistant Secretary General Albert Ramdin of the OAS, \u201cthe real challenge starts now in terms of maintaining an environment of peace, security, and stability; of encouragement and constructive engagement; and of creating a climate that is conducive to social and economic development and the strengthening and modernization of the state.\u201d20\n\nFragile Foundations\n\nThe weakness of political institutions and the lack of an autonomous civil society prevent both governments and non-state organizations from effectively challenging state power. Unable to act as an authoritative counterbalance to state control, these groups are incapable of influencing the policy-making process and spurring the adoption of neoliberal reform.\n\nHaiti\u2019s Infant Institutions\n\nEven if effective economic strategies were developed, Haiti\u2019s weak institutional foundation would prevent its implementation.

McManus (Twayne 1997)\n\nClassics and Feminism is the first book-length study of the impact of modern feminism on the discipline and profession of classics in the United States and the only such investigation to document its assertions through statistical studies of scholarly and professional trends. Combining a wide-ranging overview of historical and current developments with in-depth analysis and examples, the book has relevance for anyone interested in the role of feminism in the academy. Because the history of classics has been so deeply implicated in androcentric structures of knowledge and patriarchal social patterns, it illustrates with exceptional clarity many issues endemic to academic feminism as a whole.\n\nBarbara McManus provides an illuminating analysis of the complex gender performance demanded of academic women as \"disembodied scholars.\" She defines and illustrates the distinctive aspects of a feminist approach to scholarship and argues that gender analysis is crucially important in traditionally masculine areas as well as in the study of women. She explains the theoretical and methodological principles developed by feminist classical scholars seeking to recover information about women from scanty and scattered evidence filtered through centuries of patriarchal interpretation.\n\nMcManus has compiled important historical and longitudinal information on changes in classical studies in the United States over the last three decades. She convincingly demonstrates the progressive nature of feminism's influence on the field with evidence that will counter images of classics as an outmoded discipline that has nothing to say to contemporary students. She provides a wealth of quantitative data--made intelligible through tables and charts--as well as substantive qualitative evidence, including a feminist rereading of Vergil's Aeneid. A particularly welcome feature of the book lies in McManus's lucid explanation of features that characterize various types of contemporary classical scholarship.\n\nMcManus envisions the relationship of feminism and classics as a complex chorus of many voices singing in counterpoint. She argues that feminism's impact on classics has been radical but not revolutionary, leading to a redirection of the discipline and a redefining of professional boundaries. The last chapter of the book presents the voices of many individual classicists from across the country who eloquently describe the way feminism has influenced their perceptions, teaching, and scholarship.\n\nWritten with equal commitment to modern feminism, the discipline of classics, and the teaching profession, Classics and Feminism will be hailed as a ground-breaking appraisal of the field.\n\nTable of Contents\n\n1.

Instead, he arrogantly makes the situation between the Travelers and the 21sters worse, at a time when the Director is trying to build bridges.\n\nJeff\u2019s Very Bad Day\n\n\nThis scene, with Jeff alone, drunk, in the holding room, and knowing he\u2019s lost everything, was shot incredibly well, mirroring Jeff\u2019s state of being. When Sarge comes in, we never see his face until he makes a point of getting right down in front of Jeff and looking him in the eye. Until then, Jeff avoids looking at him. Everything but the two faces is blurry, shadowed and distorted. Most of the time the camera is very close on Jeff\u2019s face, since he can\u2019t get out of his own head.\n\nThe distance shot above almost looks like a forced perspective shot with the lines slightly curving away from him. It\u2019s as if that window to the outside is an infinite distance away, and the tunnel that is the room will keep extending away from Jeff into infinity to keep him from the light.\n\nThe Director\u2019s Circular Logic\n\nJo is right at the very end of the episode, when she questions the Travelers\u2019 actions. I\u2019m glad someone called MacLaren on it. The Director is using circular logic and using more cheats to circumvent the restrictions on its programing. I don\u2019t remember seeing any cheats in season 1.\n\nThe first one I\u2019m sure of is in S2 Ep7, 17 Minutes, when the Director maneuvered the sky divers\u2019 deaths until it could figure out how to manipulate Vincent\u2019s goon into killing the truck driver. It realized the sky divers couldn\u2019t make it to the lake in time to save Mac\u2019s team, but the truck driver could. The truck driver didn\u2019t die in our original timeline, but there were timelines where he did. The Director just needed to nudge the circumstances toward one of those timelines, so it did.\n\n001 has made the Director desperate, or maybe time is running out on some aspect of course correction to avoid a natural disaster or war. Either way, if the Director is cheating, it means something\u2019s wrong.\n\nBut on the other hand, Jo and the 21sters all forget, or don\u2019t realize, that the beginning of the end of the world would have already started, with the antimatter explosion that the team averted in S1 Ep2, Protocol 6. The writers haven\u2019t mentioned it in a long time, but that explosion let the world\u2019s other superpowers know that the US had antimatter, and started an arms race that was a significant contributor to the end.\n\nThey must also be getting close to when the Helios 685 asteroid would have hit. It\u2019s maybe 6 or 8 months away? So all of this complaining about the terrible things that the Travelers do and cause is pointless. Mainly, the Travelers seem to be proving that either the earth itself is doomed no matter what, or humanity is doomed to self-destruct, no matter what.\n\nIndiewire interview with Eric McCormack: You Love \u2018Will & Grace\u2019 \u2014 Have You Been Watching Eric McCormack as a Badass Time Traveler?\n\nHe says there\u2019s no season 4 renewal yet, but he wants to do at least another season or 2 of both Travelers and Will & Grace. 5 total seasons of Travelers sounds good to me.\n\n\nTravelers Protocols:\n\nProtocol 1: The mission comes first.\n\n\n\n\nProtocol 4: Do not reproduce.\n\n\nProtocol 6: Traveler teams should stay apart unless instructed otherwise.\n\n\n\n\nTraveler numbers:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVincent Ingram-001\u00a05692\n\nKatrina Perrow-001\n\nSimon-004 5069\n\n\nImages courtesy of Netflix.\n\n2 thoughts on \u201cTravelers Season 3 Episode 2: Yates\u00a0Recap\n\n 1.

This makes her the anti-Kat, so it explains why Mac feels threatened by her.\n\nIn addition to her personal qualities, she also carried out the mission the Director assigned to her, even though the Director killed her mother, and she probably had better things to do the day after her beloved mother died. She\u2019s already proved herself to be a valuable ally, and it\u2019s Mac who\u2019s not trusting the Director\u2019s judgement.\n\nIf the Director agreed to let the FBI assign him a partner who\u2019s a 21ster, but one it had hand-picked, he should be trusting that decision and cooperating with her, and, by extension, with the US government. Instead, he arrogantly makes the situation between the Travelers and the 21sters worse, at a time when the Director is trying to build bridges.\n\nJeff\u2019s Very Bad Day\n\n\nThis scene, with Jeff alone, drunk, in the holding room, and knowing he\u2019s lost everything, was shot incredibly well, mirroring Jeff\u2019s state of being. When Sarge comes in, we never see his face until he makes a point of getting right down in front of Jeff and looking him in the eye. Until then, Jeff avoids looking at him. Everything but the two faces is blurry, shadowed and distorted. Most of the time the camera is very close on Jeff\u2019s face, since he can\u2019t get out of his own head.\n\nThe distance shot above almost looks like a forced perspective shot with the lines slightly curving away from him. It\u2019s as if that window to the outside is an infinite distance away, and the tunnel that is the room will keep extending away from Jeff into infinity to keep him from the light.\n\nThe Director\u2019s Circular Logic\n\nJo is right at the very end of the episode, when she questions the Travelers\u2019 actions. I\u2019m glad someone called MacLaren on it. The Director is using circular logic and using more cheats to circumvent the restrictions on its programing. I don\u2019t remember seeing any cheats in season 1.\n\nThe first one I\u2019m sure of is in S2 Ep7, 17 Minutes, when the Director maneuvered the sky divers\u2019 deaths until it could figure out how to manipulate Vincent\u2019s goon into killing the truck driver. It realized the sky divers couldn\u2019t make it to the lake in time to save Mac\u2019s team, but the truck driver could. The truck driver didn\u2019t die in our original timeline, but there were timelines where he did. The Director just needed to nudge the circumstances toward one of those timelines, so it did.\n\n001 has made the Director desperate, or maybe time is running out on some aspect of course correction to avoid a natural disaster or war. Either way, if the Director is cheating, it means something\u2019s wrong.\n\nBut on the other hand, Jo and the 21sters all forget, or don\u2019t realize, that the beginning of the end of the world would have already started, with the antimatter explosion that the team averted in S1 Ep2, Protocol 6. The writers haven\u2019t mentioned it in a long time, but that explosion let the world\u2019s other superpowers know that the US had antimatter, and started an arms race that was a significant contributor to the end.\n\nThey must also be getting close to when the Helios 685 asteroid would have hit. It\u2019s maybe 6 or 8 months away? So all of this complaining about the terrible things that the Travelers do and cause is pointless. Mainly, the Travelers seem to be proving that either the earth itself is doomed no matter what, or humanity is doomed to self-destruct, no matter what.\n\nIndiewire interview with Eric McCormack: You Love \u2018Will & Grace\u2019 \u2014 Have You Been Watching Eric McCormack as a Badass Time Traveler?\n\nHe says there\u2019s no season 4 renewal yet, but he wants to do at least another season or 2 of both Travelers and Will & Grace. 5 total seasons of Travelers sounds good to me.\n\n\nTravelers Protocols:\n\nProtocol 1: The mission comes first.\n\n\n\n\nProtocol 4: Do not reproduce.\n\n\nProtocol 6: Traveler teams should stay apart unless instructed otherwise.\n\n\n\n\nTraveler numbers:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVincent Ingram-001\u00a05692\n\nKatrina Perrow-001\n\nSimon-004 5069\n\n\nImages courtesy of Netflix.\n\n2 thoughts on \u201cTravelers Season 3 Episode 2: Yates\u00a0Recap\n\n 1. On rewatching this episode, I have another chilling thought. Look at the terrorist video. Could that be our traveler team? If so, they created the video so that the FBI would be tasked to guard him so they could be there for the TELL.\n\n Another thing. Somewhere during the episode, Mac mentions Carly\u2019s video. Did he know about Rockwell having it? Did our team provide it to move things forward?\n\n This is one Machiavellian episode!\n\n\nComments are closed.<|endoftext|>Little Mortiz demande Rosalie en marriage. 1911. France.

But now it appears Laci has abandoned the hard-core progressive views she once held and is attacking her former allies.

But the simple fact that the Articles of Confederation could not even last ONE DECADE to keep the USA stable and strong should have totally discredited and buried that ideology forever, because human nature is CORRUPT and needs to be restrained by a state to limit its damage. So why didn\u2019t that discrediting happen? Why instead did Libertarianism rise again in the 1970s in the form of a Libertarian Party that persists to this day?

Putting an acknowledgement in a report that is never circulated to frontline staff does not constitute meaningful recognition. One example from my own experience was when we invited staff to the board meeting where we presented our evaluation findings. The staff had spent a great deal of time collecting data that year and afterward expressed how rewarding it was to see their efforts come to fruition and have their hard work acknowledged. This reassured them that the evaluation process was meaningful and that their time had been well spent.\n\nOn the flip side, it's equally useful for staff to recognize the impact of evaluation on themselves. When staff see either the processes or the outcomes of evaluation as being beneficial to them and their organization, this will increase their support and willingness to get involved.

What was a seamless installation process last time on my other laptop turned into a more complicated troubleshooting exercise this time.\n\nAfter starting both Elasticsearch (accessible at http://localhost:9200) and Kibana (accessible", "base_doc": " guarded. Positioning oneself as a helpful third-party who is there to facilitate communication (in more than one direction)\u00a0can help as long as everyone is on board with this definition, including the evaluator and the decision-makers who brought you in.\n\nIf there is conflict between (or within) stakeholder groups, rather than let the evaluation become a conduit for power struggles, it can be more productive to frame this as an unexpected outcome of the evaluation and encourage the conflicted parties to work to address and resolve the issue together. If there is sufficient trust (and time) and the issue is directly related to the evaluation itself, the evaluator may mediate, or may step back and allow internal processes to take care of it.\n\n\n\"It is a team approach rather than a 'must do'. It gets buy in and participation willingly from all players.\"\n\n\n\"We get to actually see what it is that we do. [\u2026] This really goes to show, holy, we do a lot of work with these kids. It puts it on paper and helps.\"\n\n4) Demonstrate impact\n\nThis does not refer to program impact, but rather the impact of the staff on the evaluation and the impact of the evaluation on the staff.\n\nMake sure that contributions made by frontline workers are highlighted and recognized in a meaningful way. Putting an acknowledgement in a report that is never circulated to frontline staff does not constitute meaningful recognition. One example from my own experience was when we invited staff to the board meeting where we presented our evaluation findings. The staff had spent a great deal of time collecting data that year and afterward expressed how rewarding it was to see their efforts come to fruition and have their hard work acknowledged. This reassured them that the evaluation process was meaningful and that their time had been well spent.\n\nOn the flip side, it's equally useful for staff to recognize the impact of evaluation on themselves. When staff see either the processes or the outcomes of evaluation as being beneficial to them and their organization, this will increase their support and willingness to get involved. To that end, it can be helpful as an evaluator to identify the evaluative needs the frontline staff as well as those of the program administrators in order to try to meet both, if possible.

That's it. During Sunday night's celebration, when Kobe's family materialized immediately -- almost on cue -- the cynical side of me wanted to throw up, but the rational side was thinking, \"Of course, they're here. He doesn't have anyone else.\" I wouldn't call the situation weird or anything, just atypical for a league in which stars normally surround themselves with longtime friends who knew them before they were famous. And it fits in with the rest of the Kobe package: He's an unconventional superstar in a conventional league. Almost like a successful child actor who beat the odds and turned out relatively normal.\n\nTwo months ago, I wrote that Kobe made a mistake playing in the 2008 Olympics because his biggest threats (LeBron, Paul, etc.) were given a glimpse into what made him him -- how hard he worked, how committed he was, how he was consumed by basketball -- and argued that he inadvertently gave away a competitive advantage. When I mentioned this theory to colleague and longtime Kobe expert J.A. Adande during a recent podcast, Adande respectfully disagreed, saying Kobe NEEDED that experience. He needed to fit in with that crew. He needed to be accepted as one of the guys. He craved that social respect from his peers. He wanted to crack jokes, bust chops and everything else. He would absolutely do it again, Adande maintained.\n\nListening to the argument, I joked Kobe sounded like one of those high school seniors who killed herself finishing with a 4.0, running the newspaper and the yearbook and playing three sports, and only realizing right at the end that she had never bothered to develop any lasting relationships. Like Ione Skye in \"Say Anything,\" actually. But Adande was right. Kobe was making up for lost time. Most superstars prove themselves statistically on inferior teams, work up a healthy hunger for winning and getting over the hump, then make all the necessary sacrifices to make that happen. Kobe went in reverse -- he enjoyed team success early without ever establishing his statistical chops, leading to some serial ball-hogging, four scoring titles and even an 81-point game. After that, maybe he realized there was a better way and awkwardly reinvented himself from there. A little like watching A-Rod, actually -- another \"child athlete star\" -- only Kobe learned to play the part and A-Rod still can't figure it out.\n\nThat brings us back to Sunday. There was a certain detachment compared to other moments we witnessed over the years: the Celtics breaking the Sweaty Awkward Hug record as the '86 Finals wound down; Magic's Lakers flipping out after vanquishing the '87 Celtics; Isiah's teammates hoisting him in the air after the 1990 Finals; the prolonged, \"I couldn't have done this without you\" hug between Jordan and Pippen after a grueling 1998 Finals; Duncan beaming as he watched Tony Parker accept the 2007 Finals MVP; even the crazed display of emotion from the Celtics last June. We can tell when a team connects as a whole. We can. I wasn't quite there with Kobe and the 2009 Lakers, for the same reason that those overachieving high school girls can't make up for lost time just by hitting a few parties after final exams. Nice effort, I understand why you did it ... but no. You can't change who you are.\n\nOne last thought: Will Kobe's teammates make the same sacrifices next season that they did this season? Pat Riley argued in his book \"Showtime\" that a defending champion's biggest threat is the \"Disease of More\" -- players wanting more shots, more money, more minutes, more everything. He also argued younger teams are more likely to fall prey to this disease. The 2008-09 Lakers happen to be a fairly young group of guys. Will Kobe's supporting cast remain as unselfish next season? I am dubious. Arrangements only last so long.\n\n3. Why was the media so desperate to convince us Kobe HAD changed, that his quest to win a fourth title was a storyline that dwarfed all others, that we needed to understand this was a GREAT PLAYER WE ARE WATCHING, that he really wants this, that he's like a coach out there ... I mean, what was the motivation here?\n\nI wish I knew. It was perplexing. In my opinion, the following storylines were more interesting ...\n\nStoryline A: I have written about the \"Nobody Believes In Us!\" phenomenon many times, but the 2009 Lakers were the first \"Nobody Believed In Me!\" team. As Washington Post columnist Mike Wise pointed out, the key Lakers were alternately dismissed, dumped by a previous team, pigeonholed as a certain type of player, overlooked for whatever reason or thought to be washed up: Kobe, Odom, Gasol, Ariza, Bynum, Fisher, even Jackson. All of them had something to prove -- not as teammates, but as individuals. Now that's a unique angle. I wish I had thought of it first.\n\nStoryline B: OK, this has nothing to do with anything ... but I can't stop thinking about Joey Buss. Granted, there's a chance I would have been just as tongue-tied on national TV at age 19. But who thought it was a good idea to have him speak extemporaneously in front of a worldwide audience? How did he become the \"alternate governor of the Lakers,\" and what does that mean? Are people in Southern California frightened that two of their governors are Arnold Schwarzenegger and Joey Buss? Did they throw him out there to answer the question, \"What would have happened if Fredo had gotten control of the Corleone family?\" Did they bring him out to make the Maloofs feel better about themselves as overmatched legacy kids? Has he ever been discreetly stared at by a bunch of country club workers and had one of them say, \"Fifty bucks says the Buss kid picks his nose.\" Do I have to retire the Unintentional Comedy Scale now?\n\nWhere was Jerry Buss? Where was Jeanie Buss? How did this happen? How can I get more Joey Buss in my life? And why didn't I know about him before Sunday night? More importantly, when are they putting the Buss boys in charge of the Lakers????? I vote for right now. Like, today. This moment. Please. I am begging you. This would be like a cross between the Hank Steinbrenner Era and \"Tommy Boy.\" I never thought there would be a silver lining with a Lakers title, but dammit, there was.\n\nStoryline C: The 2009 Lakers were built the same way someone goes on a three-hour craps run. In other words, don't even think about duplicating it. Seven solid \"What if that coin flip had turned up tails instead of heads?\" moments shaped the team. Namely, what if Jackson hadn't developed a relationship with Jeanie Buss? (No way he comes back to deal with Kobe again otherwise.) What if Anthony Carter's agent hadn't forgotten to send in his contract in time during the summer of 2003, creating enough cap space for Miami to sign Odom as a free agent, then giving Miami enough pieces to trade for Shaq a year later? What if the Lakers had traded Odom like they almost did about 35,000 times? What if Kobe hadn't blocked the Chicago trade -- and he did -- right before the 2007-08 season because the Bulls were giving up too much? What if Chris Wallace hadn't given them Gasol for 30 cents on the dollar? What if Otis Smith hadn't done the same in giving away Ariza? And what if Fisher's daughter hadn't fallen ill, forcing an unprecedented situation in which Utah released him from his deal so he could play for the Lakers?\n\n(That's seven \"what ifs.\" Seven. Amazing. The Chicago part remains the most incredible. You forget how close that was; I don't think I saw it explored once during the Finals.)\n\nStoryline D: Kobe and Phil. I know, it has been done. Many times. But the story had so many layers that I still don't feel as if we nailed all of them. My favorite image of the 2009 Finals was Phil's face after Kobe went one-on-four at the end of Game 2, something I jokingly called The \"Should I point out to him that MJ would have absolutely passed there?\" Face in my column.\n\n\nIt's just one more reason why Phil Jackson", "base_doc": " his agent.

More importantly, when are they putting the Buss boys in charge of the Lakers????? I vote for right now. Like, today. This moment. Please. I am begging you. This would be like a cross between the Hank Steinbrenner Era and \"Tommy Boy.\" I never thought there would be a silver lining with a Lakers title, but dammit, there was.\n\nStoryline C: The 2009 Lakers were built the same way someone goes on a three-hour craps run. In other words, don't even think about duplicating it. Seven solid \"What if that coin flip had turned up tails instead of heads?\" moments shaped the team. Namely, what if Jackson hadn't developed a relationship with Jeanie Buss? (No way he comes back to deal with Kobe again otherwise.) What if Anthony Carter's agent hadn't forgotten to send in his contract in time during the summer of 2003, creating enough cap space for Miami to sign Odom as a free agent, then giving Miami enough pieces to trade for Shaq a year later? What if the Lakers had traded Odom like they almost did about 35,000 times? What if Kobe hadn't blocked the Chicago trade -- and he did -- right before the 2007-08 season because the Bulls were giving up too much? What if Chris Wallace hadn't given them Gasol for 30 cents on the dollar? What if Otis Smith hadn't done the same in giving away Ariza? And what if Fisher's daughter hadn't fallen ill, forcing an unprecedented situation in which Utah released him from his deal so he could play for the Lakers?\n\n(That's seven \"what ifs.\" Seven. Amazing. The Chicago part remains the most incredible. You forget how close that was; I don't think I saw it explored once during the Finals.)\n\nStoryline D: Kobe and Phil. I know, it has been done. Many times. But the story had so many layers that I still don't feel as if we nailed all of them. My favorite image of the 2009 Finals was Phil's face after Kobe went one-on-four at the end of Game 2, something I jokingly called The \"Should I point out to him that MJ would have absolutely passed there?\" Face in my column.\n\n\nIt's just one more reason why Phil Jackson is the greatest basketball coach ever. He sold the greatest player ever on the benefits of being a good teammate, which wasn't an easy task because Jordan was a demanding, insensitive jerk at the time. Jackson nearly brought the Bulls to the '94 Finals without the greatest player ever, which remains the single most incredible coaching job of my lifetime. He won 72 games. He won 10 titles. Last but not least, he harnessed the talents of the single most difficult superstar not named \"Wilt\" the NBA has ever seen. He did this gradually, over the span of a solid decade, and he even had to walk away once for effect. You can't credit him for \"changing\" Kobe, just for nudging him in the right directions and helping him understand the balance between dominating and winning. What Kobe did with that understanding, ultimately, was up to him.\n\nAnyway, I could have listened to people explain the Phil-Kobe relationship all day. Frankly, I still don't understand it myself. But if a coach spends enough time with a player, they really do start to feel like a married couple.

If your clan only has one shaman with the teach spirit magic spell, and it takes a week, I'm assuming that they can only teach one spell at a time.

Or does it become corporal and attack in that same round? Is it then visible for the entire spirit combat, or does it become discorporate the following round?

When a shaman is teaching a character a spirit magic spell, can he do something else? Or is he/she committed to working with that character all week, 6 to 8 hours a day? If your clan only has one shaman with the teach spirit magic spell, and it takes a week, I'm assuming that they can only teach one spell at a time. Or can a shaman work with 3 or 4 characters at the same time during that week teaching each a different spell? My players will have some 7 or so weeks of down time and will want to learn some spells from their shaman and cult leaders.\n 2. mikuel\n\n Spirit Combat\n\n Does this mean that the shaman, in spirit form do the same thing? Could a shaman go scout out ruins by travelling through the walls and seeing what is in each room?\n 3. mikuel\n\n Spirit Combat\n\n That could be really convenient for the shaman. Warrior: So Shaman, why didn't you help us there with that Broo ambush? Shaman: Sorry guys, I was...uhh.... fighting this disease spirit in the spirit realm. Yeah! That's what it was!\n 4. mikuel\n\n Spirit Combat\n\n So does it take a spirit a round of combat to become visible, then the next round it attacks the player? Or does it become corporal and attack in that same round? Is it then visible for the entire spirit combat, or does it become discorporate the following round? If someone is being attacked by a spirit in the spirit realm, what does it look like to those in the material world? Is the attacked character just staring into space? Or is he/she swiping at the air?\n 5. mikuel\n\n Spirit Combat\n\n I've recently been reading about shaman's in RQG. If a shaman is ambushed by a malign spirit, how does he fight it in spirit combat if it takes him an hour to discorporate? What am I missing?\n 6. I have a question about Rune points. During character creation, step 6, when picking a cult, it states:\" As an initiate, your adventurer starts play with 3 Rune points dedicated to that cult. \" So do you lose 3 Power from your character for these 3 rune points? the chapter on Rune magic states that you have to sacrifice a rune point for each rune point. p.313 \"A cult member may sacrifice additional points of POW to the deity, increasing the number of Rune points with the deity and gaining greater access to cult special magic. The sacrifice requires a full week of prayer and meditation in the temple. At the end of the week, the adventurer sacrifices 1 or more POW points and gains an equal number of Rune points. \" I'm confused.\n 7. How do game masters use allied spirits? Do players just use them as a spare tank for extra magic points? I notice that they have Power and Intelligence. Which makes me wonder what's it like to be a spirit. What do they talk about? What do they do in their spare time? Do they get bored?\n 8. I'm assuming that when you sacrifice Power to enchant a magic item, cast Magic Point Enchantment, or become an initiate of a cult, you don't get those power points back? These are permanent losses?\n 9. Ok. I thought you just purchased the spell protection and then put as many magic points in it as you had CHA. This is not correct. So you, for example, could buy protection 3 at 300L or whatever, then you could put up to 3 magic points into it if you wish. So if spells were like songs, protection 1 would be Hot Crossed Buns and protection 5 would be one of Beethoven's symphony's. Each spell is a different entity. Is this correct?\n 10. Ahhhh...Ok.

Aaron Eckhart fulfills a longtime dream in his latest film, \"Battle: Los Angeles.\" He's always wanted to wear a uniform and fire an M-16.\n\n\"This is the little boy dream,\" Eckhart said during an exclusive interview with RedEye. \"When I first got into acting I did so because I wanted to feel something. And I still want that. I always want to be as close as I can to my characters. I remember the [costume] fitting for this movie. I put [on the uniform] and it makes you stand differently and everything \u2026 Every day I put it on I felt like a warrior.\"\n\nA warrior he is. Eckhart plays Marine Staff Sgt. Michael Nance, who leads his men in a fight for survival against a gnarly band of aliens trying to destroy L.A. The film, which hits theaters Friday, is inspired by an alleged alien air raid that many at the time believe took place in L.A. in 1942.\n\nThe film has plenty of aliens, but Eckhart sees it more as a war film than a sci-fi thriller.\n\n\"It's interesting with this movie,\" he said. \"There's a reason why, there are the conflicts and the contradictions and it all goes together in the same suit. It's an interesting little package.\"\n\nEckhart's the complete package. His resume\u2014which includes films such as \"Any Given Sunday,\" \"Thank Your For Smoking,\" \"Erin Brockovich\" and \"The Dark Knight,\" is as eclectic at the man himself. Born in California, Eckhart spent some time in England and Australia before returning to the states to study film at Brigham Young University in Utah.\n\nEckhart has gone back-and-forth from big budget flicks to indies throughout his career, but says that he often prefers the latter because they're more \"intense\" and spiritually fulfilling.\n\n\"In indies everyone is usually sacrificing to get the film made,\" said Eckhart, who turns 43 on Saturday. \"The box-office movies are more of a job. The financial payoff is better but I will easily turn down all that and take no money for better material. I have to live with myself. When you're out there acting you still have to be truthful, you have to prepare.\"\n\nDespite that opinion, Eckhart says he takes \"this big popcorn movie\" as seriously an independent film.\n\nPart of his preparation for \"Battle: Los Angeles\" included six weeks of boot camp, which Eckhart enjoyed. \"I love being physical,\" he said.\n\nHe also dug the fact that it's not a green-screen movie. They used rubber rounds in real firearms, they crashed helicopters, they blew things up. And yes, Eckhart really did get hurt. He broke his arm during shooting while attempting a \"Michael Jordan-type\" move during a battle scene.\n\nBut it was all for a movie he says he's very proud of. \"I have great hopes for this film,\" he said. \"I'm hoping that if it does do business that I'll be able to profit from that\u2014not in terms of money but doing other films that I want to do.

The core debate appears from the \u201csovereignty\u201d which assumed to be integral part of a nation state. In general discussion, state is the prime actor in global political discussion. State has exclusive control over its territory and domestic affairs. It entitles states to the practice of sovereignty. On this context, hyper globalists claim that today\u2019s states are much different from the previous one. Today\u2019s political structure is borderless in nature, particularly in economic perspective. They argue that economy is the mainstream road to achieve state interest and state has declined its actual border through neoliberal economy.\n\nOn the other hand, skeptics say that today\u2019s state relation is as same as previous one. States are inter-related but have supreme authority over its borders and domestic affairs. They also argue that today\u2019s world is not \u201cglobalized\u201d but \u201cinternationalized\u201d. Their point of view is that economical cumulating is not actually political globalization. There are some other theorists also like complex globalization thesis, new institutional thesis, and ideological thesis etc.\n\nThe institutional theory is based on global governance like UN. They believe that global could be better solved by international organization. By the discussion, someone says that the increasing activities of International Organizations are threat for nation-state.\n\nSo, before having a conclusion we would like to have some characteristics of today\u2019s world.\n\nThe contemporary debate on political globalization and nation-state\n\nThe blurriness of domestic and international issues\n\nIf you think about to live a country without having treat of climate change while most of the countries have concern about it, it\u2019s quite ridiculous. Even if you look forward to combat terrorism alone it won\u2019t be possible. Such way, the blurriness of domestic and international issues accelerates political globalization. As a result, the need of multilateral forum has increased. For example, UK\u2019s exit from BREXIT has become a matter of concern from many countries for their business and trade.\n\n\nDepletion of sovereignty by situational complexity\n\nAfter the experience of devastating World War, the world intensely felt the need of common rules and regulation. Then president of US Woodrow Winlson enacted 14 points which results the birth of international institution. Now, United Nations has passed a long journey with success in some aspects like social development. Global trade and business has increased rapidly in last half of the 20th century. Consequently, international financial organization like WTO and IMF has been emerged. States has become interdependent in such a way that EU has become an important actor in global politics. ASEAN has become a major trade body in global economy. In such circumstance, a single state can\u2019t initiate any policy without considering regional and global perspective. So, it limits the state sovereignty.\n\n\nChange in political structure\n\nThe post cold war US lead world system has seems to be declining. Other major powers have been emerging with responsive flow. Today\u2019s political structure is more multi-polar than ever. The military and strategic alliance are seems to be dynamic more. In last century, many states emerged separating from mother state. Liberal democracy has been taken by states. \u201cArab Spring\u201d has flowed through MENA region. Myanmar is on the way to democracy after long struggle. Now, states are more concern for international norms and laws.\n\n\nIncrease of regionalism in various patterns\n\nRegional entities are more active in current politics. ASEAN, EU, OPEC and such supra national authorities are more vibrant in today\u2019s politics. For, example EU sends its representative like diplomatic corps in countries. ASEAN stands for its political and economic interest of East Asian countries in global forum.\n\n\nSo, does globalization decline of nation state?\n\nThe nation-state can be described by the following attributes- territory, population and a government being able to have jurisdiction over territory and population and finally recognition from other states. A nation-state is therefore a territorial entity in control of several functions over a population being seen as authority from other states. It\u2019s a critical question whether the globalization declining the nation state. As globalization is a reality, state is practicing limited but adequate sovereign authority. Though state is the prime actor in international relation and international politics it can\u2019t escape from global complexity of interdependence.

States are now morally bounded by international norms and regulations. For sake of state\u2019s own interest, state herself is bound to bilateral and multilateral forums. In such circumstance, heated debate arises surrounding globalization is that does globalization limits state sovereignty? Are states no longer actors in global politics? Where does the \u201cpower\u201d lies actually when states are more bounded with each other?\n\n\nThe debate on political globalization and nation-state\n\nIt is important to have a simple definition of nation state. Basically the nation state is defined as a country with particular population, recognized territory, de facto government and sovereignty. According to Elmer social science dictionary, a nation-state is Modern state in which a government has sovereign power within a defined territorial area, and the mass of the population are citizens. The core debate appears from the \u201csovereignty\u201d which assumed to be integral part of a nation state. In general discussion, state is the prime actor in global political discussion. State has exclusive control over its territory and domestic affairs. It entitles states to the practice of sovereignty. On this context, hyper globalists claim that today\u2019s states are much different from the previous one. Today\u2019s political structure is borderless in nature, particularly in economic perspective. They argue that economy is the mainstream road to achieve state interest and state has declined its actual border through neoliberal economy.\n\nOn the other hand, skeptics say that today\u2019s state relation is as same as previous one. States are inter-related but have supreme authority over its borders and domestic affairs. They also argue that today\u2019s world is not \u201cglobalized\u201d but \u201cinternationalized\u201d. Their point of view is that economical cumulating is not actually political globalization. There are some other theorists also like complex globalization thesis, new institutional thesis, and ideological thesis etc.\n\nThe institutional theory is based on global governance like UN. They believe that global could be better solved by international organization. By the discussion, someone says that the increasing activities of International Organizations are threat for nation-state.\n\nSo, before having a conclusion we would like to have some characteristics of today\u2019s world.\n\nThe contemporary debate on political globalization and nation-state\n\nThe blurriness of domestic and international issues\n\nIf you think about to live a country without having treat of climate change while most of the countries have concern about it, it\u2019s quite ridiculous. Even if you look forward to combat terrorism alone it won\u2019t be possible. Such way, the blurriness of domestic and international issues accelerates political globalization. As a result, the need of multilateral forum has increased. For example, UK\u2019s exit from BREXIT has become a matter of concern from many countries for their business and trade.\n\n\nDepletion of sovereignty by situational complexity\n\nAfter the experience of devastating World War, the world intensely felt the need of common rules and regulation. Then president of US Woodrow Winlson enacted 14 points which results the birth of international institution. Now, United Nations has passed a long journey with success in some aspects like social development. Global trade and business has increased rapidly in last half of the 20th century. Consequently, international financial organization like WTO and IMF has been emerged. States has become interdependent in such a way that EU has become an important actor in global politics. ASEAN has become a major trade body in global economy. In such circumstance, a single state can\u2019t initiate any policy without considering regional and global perspective. So, it limits the state sovereignty.\n\n\nChange in political structure\n\nThe post cold war US lead world system has seems to be declining. Other major powers have been emerging with responsive flow. Today\u2019s political structure is more multi-polar than ever. The military and strategic alliance are seems to be dynamic more. In last century, many states emerged separating from mother state. Liberal democracy has been taken by states. \u201cArab Spring\u201d has flowed through MENA region. Myanmar is on the way to democracy after long struggle. Now, states are more concern for international norms and laws.\n\n\nIncrease of regionalism in various patterns\n\nRegional entities are more active in current politics. ASEAN, EU, OPEC and such supra national authorities are more vibrant in today\u2019s politics. For, example EU sends its representative like diplomatic corps in countries. ASEAN stands for its political and economic interest of East Asian countries in global forum.\n\n\nSo, does globalization decline of nation state?\n\nThe nation-state can be described by the following attributes- territory, population and a government being able to have jurisdiction over territory and population and finally recognition from other states. A nation-state is therefore a territorial entity in control of several functions over a population being seen as authority from other states. It\u2019s a critical question whether the globalization declining the nation state. As globalization is a reality, state is practicing limited but adequate sovereign authority. Though state is the prime actor in international relation and international politics it can\u2019t escape from global complexity of interdependence. I would like to say that today\u2019s world is under transformation. The increasing stalks of global economy results the spread of MNCs, IO has also become a not-state but important part of global politics. But national interest is top priority for states till now.\n\nread article on One Belt One Road by China\n\n\nSharif Mustajib\n\nstudent, International Relations\n\nUniversity of Chittagong\n\n\nLeave a Reply\n<|endoftext|>Why can't I reset my laptop?\n\nSo, I tried to reset my laptop but it hanged and I shut it down.

Page 3, third paragraph from the bottom, Loncar says, \"We don't\n\n2 want the problem we are discussing to be discussed in the OSCE forums.\"\n\n3 A. Excuse me, Mr. Milosevic. The third page is missing from my copy.\n\n4 Q. Very well. Then I will read from my copy. Only one passage that\n\n5 I'll quote. At the bottom of page 3 - I hope the others have it - in the\n\n6 last paragraph, end of last paragraph, the state secretary of Hungary\n\n7 says: \"The Hungarian government has stated in public that this is\n\n8 regrettable and that the government -- that it has nothing to do with the\n\n9 Hungarian minority in Yugoslavia or its organisations.\"\n\n10 So they say that this event is regrettable. That's the position\n\n11 of the Hungarian government.\n\n12 In the same tab, further on, there is some information. Would you\n\n13 please just take a look at it. It has to do with involvement of foreign\n\n14 factors in the illegal import of weapons into Yugoslavia in October 1990\n\n15 to January 1991. That's the time period.\n\n16 A. Yes, Mr. President.\n\n17 Q. At the bottom of page 1, under A, from Hungary.\n\n18 A. Yes, here it is again.\n\n19 Q. You have it?\n\n20 A. Yes.\n\n21 Q. Does it mention 20.000 automatic rifles, 7.62, and so on and so\n\n22 forth?\n\n23 A. It says that the transport was carried out --\n\n24 Q. It doesn't matter which company transported the goods.\n\n25 A. Well, it's important because the company's a Croatian one.\n\nPage 48913\n\n1 Q. Well, that's understood. There's no need to prove it. And then\n\n2 it goes on to talk about this from Hungary, and then further on it says\n\n3 everything from Hungary, the 18th, the 16th, the 7th of December, when\n\n4 seven persons were arrested at the civilian airport in Budapest on the 7th\n\n5 of December 1991, and then it goes on to talk about the 19th of December\n\n6 1991 when a large quantity of projectiles were transported from Hungary to\n\n7 Croatia. Then there is mention of weapons from Germany, from Austria, and\n\n8 other countries.\n\n9 So is this large-scale illegal import of weapons into Croatia?\n\n10 A. The government of the Republic of Srpska Krajina had this\n\n11 information in 1992 and 1993 for as long as the Krajina lasted, and here\n\n12 one can see that what I said when answering one of your previous\n\n13 questions, the intention towards Yugoslavia and the Serbs extended beyond\n\n14 the borders of Croatia. It was no accident that criminals from so many\n\n15 different countries could bring weapons into Croatia without the knowledge\n\n16 of their state organs.\n\n17 As we can see in this conversation between two ministers, one from\n\n18 Yugoslavia and the other one from Hungary, this has been confirmed. This\n\n19 document also mentions Austria and Germany. They wanted to break up\n\n20 Yugoslavia, and that was at the root of all the misfortunes that occurred\n\n21 later.\n\n22 Q. Yes. We can see that this happened in 1990 and 1991.\n\n23 THE ACCUSED: [Interpretation] Mr. Robinson, this has to do with\n\n24 that question of yours, because you keep the asking about the indictment.\n\n25 In the indictment, where individual criminal responsibility is mentioned,\n\nPage 48914\n\n1 it follows that what happened was a consequence of a policy or a plan of\n\n2 mine, my behaviour, the behaviour of Serbia and so on, but it's evident\n\n3 from everything there is that it was a consequence of the policy of armed\n\n4 secession and the self-organisation of the Serbian people in Croatia for\n\n5 purposes of self-defence.\n\n6 The fact that individual crimes happened in all this, nobody\n\n7 denies that, although I can't confirm it either because I don't know\n\n8 everything that happened, but the cause and effect links are evident.\n\n9 There was no joint criminal enterprise on the Serbian side. On the\n\n10 contrary. This wave which began even before 1990 with expulsions and\n\n11 murders of Serbs and all the other cruelty they suffered throughout this\n\n12 period, and it culminated in armed secession and the consequences of armed\n\n13 secession.\n\n14 JUDGE ROBINSON: Thank you, Mr. Milosevic.\n\n15 MR.

It says: \"[In English] The radioactive waste management in the\n\n24 area of Croatia affected by war - Damir Subasic, Antun Stare, Marjan\n\n25 Gunaric,\" et cetera. [Interpretation] And so on. In parenthesis,\n\nPage 48915\n\n1 \"Croatia.\" What does this document say? And later on, you have\n\n2 documents and all the rest.\n\n3 A. Mr. President, this is an international conference on mixed waste\n\n4 and environment restoration held in Tucson, Arizona. However, something\n\n5 that precedes this document is far more important, and I hope that the\n\n6 Trial Chamber will not mind if I say a few words about this.\n\n7 Much earlier in Pecs in Hungary, yet another international\n\n8 conference was held about radioactive waste as well. In 1991, the\n\n9 Croatian delegation there presented a report stating that certain areas in\n\n10 Croatia will be used for storing radioactive waste and chemical poison.\n\n11 The maps that show where this storage will be overlap with the Serb\n\n12 settlements there that were fully cleansed ethnically in 1991 and the\n\n13 villages were razed to the ground, including the infrastructure.\n\n14 Q. All right, Mr. Jarcevic. In order to use time as efficiently as\n\n15 possible, are these documents that show that radioactive material, as\n\n16 envisaged by the Croatian authorities, should be stored in areas where\n\n17 Serbs lived?\n\n18 A. Yes. And also, may I remind you of the fact that in 1991 the\n\n19 Serbs were totally expelled from that area, Western Slavonia.\n\n20 Q. All right. Thank you.\n\n21 THE ACCUSED: [Interpretation] Mr. Robinson, could this tab number\n\n22 1 be admitted into evidence?\n\n23 JUDGE BONOMY: Sorry, what's not clear to me at the moment is what\n\n24 this tab actually is. Does it relate to the Tucson conference or does it\n\n25 relate to the Hungary conference?\n\nPage 48916\n\n1 THE WITNESS: [Interpretation] May I answer?\n\n\n3 THE WITNESS: [Interpretation] Yes. These are two conferences\n\n4 independent from one another. One was in Hungary, one was in the United\n\n5 States, geographically speaking.\n\n6 JUDGE BONOMY: Does the document relate to both of them?\n\n7 THE INTERPRETER: Could the witness please repeat what he said.\n\n8 THE WITNESS: [Interpretation] The document has to do with the\n\n9 first conference in Hungary, with maps as to where radioactive waste is to\n\n10 be deposited. We only have the programme of the conference from", "base_doc": " neighbouring country.\n\n24 Q. Let's look at page 3.\n\n25 A. Yes. Delivery of weapons from Hungary.\n\nPage 48912\n\n1 Q.

We only have the programme of the conference from the\n\n11 United States of America, and it says --\n\n12 MR. MILOSEVIC: [Interpretation]\n\n13 Q.

Some people seem to drink beer at lightning speed and some people seem to have quite a few visitors that help eliminate their beer. When I hear how much people are drinking I am at first envious (because I like drinking beer) but then glad I don't because there's no way I could drink that much without getting enormously fat. I don't do manual labor so I sit most of the day, I don't have a particularly fast metabolism, and I eat poorly when I drink too much. I seem to believe most people who drink a lot are also overweight but it doesn't seem like that is always the case.\n\nIt often comes up on the boards that some homebrewers are trying to cut weight and beer is a big struggle. Yes, beer is a big problem when you are trying to cut your caloric intake for several reasons. First, alcohol is not processed into useful nutrients so it is \"empty calories\". Second, alcohol is a depressant that slows your metabolism and makes you more likely to want to eat and eat poorly. Third, beer is full of sugars that the body doesn't need but will readily store. Forth, most people drink at night when the body is least likely to need the calories so it is more likely to convert them to fat. Homebrew and craft beer tend to exacerbate the problem because we tend to consume beer that is in higher alcohol content (therefore more calories) than the typical mass produced lager.\n\nOne thing that helps is limiting your intake. I guess this is the obvious answer. The less you drink, the fewer the excess calories. Personally I only drink on three nights of the week (Friday-Sunday) and I try to limit Friday and Saturday to no more than three drinks and no more than two on Sunday (one if I can help it). Roughly once a month I attend pint night at a bar on a Tuesday because we get to drink beer and take home the glasses (and it is very reasonably priced).\n\nAnother thing that helps is to become proficient at brewing (and drinking) lower ABV beers. I know, those imperial beers are calling out to you. There are many sessionable beers with great flavor and I think the immediate future of craft brewing will be making lower ABV beers that are very flavorable but still easy to drink that will expand the options greatly.\n\nObviously working out and eating healthy will go a long way towards cutting weight. Avoiding eating late at night, especially while drinking, can have a very big impact. Including sufficient exercise and eating healthy are critical factors that usually require major lifestyle changes beyond just beer consumption.

He feeds you Tandoori chicken, egg curry and scrambled eggs and tomatoes. He doesn\u2019t speak a word of English, but you drink whisky and speak in your mother tongues as if you understand each other. Your hand goes around Sophea as you watch Triple H take down Mysterio. During the commercials, you watch the stock market meltdown.\n\u201cHow is that possible?\u201d Sophea asks, as if you know.\nFor some reason, you are overjoyed. Where will you be when it all falls apart? Apparently, India.\nPanic has gripped Bangalore, aka ITocracy, aka calltopia, which houses one out of every three office buildings in India. Perhaps that\u2019s why it\u2019s the center for obesity and diabetes. At 3am, when the American workday ends, Bangalorians drink off the global crisis in jam-packed pubs, chaotic night markets, and large strip malls with rooms full of belly dancers. Here, in the IT revolution city, the economic plunge has hit hardest. Anxious young Indians in collared shirts jabber on headset headphones in a desperate, panicky English. The city is a surreal desert of nascent buildings still undergoing construction, and the only movement comes from migrant workers living in tent cities on every roadside. American multinationals aggregate in industrial parks; their incomplete buildings cast foreboding shadows that stretch from the rocky hills of HITECH City to Hyderabad.\nThe news of the stock market crash disappears in the sixteen-hour train ride, sleeper class, where you and Sophea lay on the upper berth of a crowded cabin, holding each other beneath a rusted fan. You easily grasp onto passing soft drinks, unappetizing samosas, or the coarse hair of children with sticky fingers. Outside the train, the sunset straddles the horizon of rice fields and electrical towers that look like steel angels in the dark. She sweats through sleep.\nExpats flee Delhi to protect their assets, leaving you and Sophea to chase the red-tape fairy around the train station from one ticket counter to another. You fill out forms, get tickets stamped, all while carrying luggage on your backs. You new colonials suffer through the old colonials\u2019 leftovers, foremost among them, the bureaucratic obsession with identifying you, sorting you out, helping you decide where you belong. But you and Sophea fit no stamp, you\u2019ve both been gone too long, rejected America, Asia, love, and happiness. Boats without anchors, but in the end tethered together.\nAfter hours of confusion at the train station you discover that there is no train left for Jaipur. Why go to Jaipur? A British man asks. Why travel when the world is melting?\nWe are poor, you answer. Too poor to care about an economic crisis. At home, nothing would change for us. We would still be eating ramen noodles and McDonalds. This crisis is just about you becoming like us.\nJust to spite the recession, you buy first class.\nIn Chandigarh two high school boys chat with you in line for a Bollywood film: She your girlfriend? You kiss her? You fuck her? How many girls you do this with? Very common in America? They are obsessed with foreign women. Very naughty, very sexy they say. You ask them about Indian women. Very naughty, very sexy, they say. The first boy tells you he has proudly slept with seven to eight Indian girls, all of them his friends and prostitutes. The second boy has a meeker sex life, at two to three women.\nThe crisis grows more distant when you reach Amritsar, where Sikh pilgrims lie scattered on the white marble of the Golden Temple. Sophea invites a young Indian from Canada to share a Thali, and you can\u2019t help scooting into his space. Moments later she sits him between you both on the bed of your hotel room. She places your hand on his thin jeans, letting you trace his thigh. He is the first to kiss you. You kiss back, until you are all drunk on wine, listening to the allahu akbar chant from a nearby mosque. Amritsar becomes your sacred space, a place where people must have touch, must express respect even in their style of eating, must cover their heads in humbleness.\nThe first night in Jaipur, the capital of Rajastan, a fuse blows out in your five-dollar hotel room. You and Sophea move to another room and that fuse blows out too. No money left, a man says. No electricity. The next day you relocate to another hotel for three dollars a night. It is ridden with ants, spiders, fleas, mosquitos, cockroaches. The mattress is a cot on wooden planks. It reminds you of your first cockroach-ridden apartment. You wake up with new places to scratch.\nTo find yourselves in a new city means you must survey the perimeter, ridding yourselves of the tourist monuments like passing difficult excrement. And after the tourist sites you pace towards whatever seems exigent\u2014a broken down building, a gathering of Indians around a well-lit street, a strange figure in the dark. You and Sophea simply float within the crowd, you unthinking and unassuming defectors, imbibing in the aura of the city and its people, retreating from certainty, trusting the void wherever it leads.\nAnd Jaipur is a city full of Gods, Kings, monkeys, and street children. The latter work in groups, perhaps. Although the world is melting, Sophea still gives rupees whenever she sees Mani, a fifteen-year-old girl with a baby covered in flies. Sophea likes Mani because she always takes money and never asks for more. She takes food too. The street children usually don\u2019t take food. They scream \u201cfuck you, cheap America!\u201d But Mani gets it, so Sophea gives her money.\nIn Rajasthan, men follow Sophea with their eyes, their steps, their hands, and occasionally, with their lips, though none have been reciprocated. In the Guide it warns that \u201cIndians are known for harassing women in Western style clothing.\u201d This means asking for kisses, asking how many people Sophea has been with and whether or not she uses condoms. It means that when she orders beer the waiter assumes she is only doing it for the men in the room. It means constant whistles, taunts, and arms and hands falling upon different parts of her skin.\nIn Udaipur, breezes compensate for overhead fans. You can spot the scattering colors over Badi Lake. Back-up generators may fail the people, but never the tourist. You inhabit landmarks for three dollars a night. In the hotel bathroom you only find a squat toilet. You\u2019re used to it now, and when you can\u2019t find any tissue in your backpack you just grab the excrement with your left hand.

He doesn\u2019t speak a word of English, but you drink whisky and speak in your mother tongues as if you understand each other. Your hand goes around Sophea as you watch Triple H take down Mysterio. During the commercials, you watch the stock market meltdown.\n\u201cHow is that possible?\u201d Sophea asks, as if you know.\nFor some reason, you are overjoyed. Where will you be when it all falls apart? Apparently, India.\nPanic has gripped Bangalore, aka ITocracy, aka calltopia, which houses one out of every three office buildings in India. Perhaps that\u2019s why it\u2019s the center for obesity and diabetes. At 3am, when the American workday ends, Bangalorians drink off the global crisis in jam-packed pubs, chaotic night markets, and large strip malls with rooms full of belly dancers. Here, in the IT revolution city, the economic plunge has hit hardest. Anxious young Indians in collared shirts jabber on headset headphones in a desperate, panicky English. The city is a surreal desert of nascent buildings still undergoing construction, and the only movement comes from migrant workers living in tent cities on every roadside. American multinationals aggregate in industrial parks; their incomplete buildings cast foreboding shadows that stretch from the rocky hills of HITECH City to Hyderabad.\nThe news of the stock market crash disappears in the sixteen-hour train ride, sleeper class, where you and Sophea lay on the upper berth of a crowded cabin, holding each other beneath a rusted fan. You easily grasp onto passing soft drinks, unappetizing samosas, or the coarse hair of children with sticky fingers. Outside the train, the sunset straddles the horizon of rice fields and electrical towers that look like steel angels in the dark. She sweats through sleep.\nExpats flee Delhi to protect their assets, leaving you and Sophea to chase the red-tape fairy around the train station from one ticket counter to another. You fill out forms, get tickets stamped, all while carrying luggage on your backs. You new colonials suffer through the old colonials\u2019 leftovers, foremost among them, the bureaucratic obsession with identifying you, sorting you out, helping you decide where you belong. But you and Sophea fit no stamp, you\u2019ve both been gone too long, rejected America, Asia, love, and happiness. Boats without anchors, but in the end tethered together.\nAfter hours of confusion at the train station you discover that there is no train left for Jaipur. Why go to Jaipur? A British man asks. Why travel when the world is melting?\nWe are poor, you answer. Too poor to care about an economic crisis. At home, nothing would change for us. We would still be eating ramen noodles and McDonalds. This crisis is just about you becoming like us.\nJust to spite the recession, you buy first class.\nIn Chandigarh two high school boys chat with you in line for a Bollywood film: She your girlfriend? You kiss her? You fuck her? How many girls you do this with? Very common in America? They are obsessed with foreign women. Very naughty, very sexy they say. You ask them about Indian women. Very naughty, very sexy, they say. The first boy tells you he has proudly slept with seven to eight Indian girls, all of them his friends and prostitutes. The second boy has a meeker sex life, at two to three women.\nThe crisis grows more distant when you reach Amritsar, where Sikh pilgrims lie scattered on the white marble of the Golden Temple. Sophea invites a young Indian from Canada to share a Thali, and you can\u2019t help scooting into his space. Moments later she sits him between you both on the bed of your hotel room. She places your hand on his thin jeans, letting you trace his thigh. He is the first to kiss you. You kiss back, until you are all drunk on wine, listening to the allahu akbar chant from a nearby mosque. Amritsar becomes your sacred space, a place where people must have touch, must express respect even in their style of eating, must cover their heads in humbleness.\nThe first night in Jaipur, the capital of Rajastan, a fuse blows out in your five-dollar hotel room. You and Sophea move to another room and that fuse blows out too. No money left, a man says. No electricity. The next day you relocate to another hotel for three dollars a night. It is ridden with ants, spiders, fleas, mosquitos, cockroaches. The mattress is a cot on wooden planks. It reminds you of your first cockroach-ridden apartment. You wake up with new places to scratch.\nTo find yourselves in a new city means you must survey the perimeter, ridding yourselves of the tourist monuments like passing difficult excrement. And after the tourist sites you pace towards whatever seems exigent\u2014a broken down building, a gathering of Indians around a well-lit street, a strange figure in the dark. You and Sophea simply float within the crowd, you unthinking and unassuming defectors, imbibing in the aura of the city and its people, retreating from certainty, trusting the void wherever it leads.\nAnd Jaipur is a city full of Gods, Kings, monkeys, and street children. The latter work in groups, perhaps. Although the world is melting, Sophea still gives rupees whenever she sees Mani, a fifteen-year-old girl with a baby covered in flies. Sophea likes Mani because she always takes money and never asks for more. She takes food too. The street children usually don\u2019t take food. They scream \u201cfuck you, cheap America!\u201d But Mani gets it, so Sophea gives her money.\nIn Rajasthan, men follow Sophea with their eyes, their steps, their hands, and occasionally, with their lips, though none have been reciprocated. In the Guide it warns that \u201cIndians are known for harassing women in Western style clothing.\u201d This means asking for kisses, asking how many people Sophea has been with and whether or not she uses condoms. It means that when she orders beer the waiter assumes she is only doing it for the men in the room. It means constant whistles, taunts, and arms and hands falling upon different parts of her skin.\nIn Udaipur, breezes compensate for overhead fans. You can spot the scattering colors over Badi Lake. Back-up generators may fail the people, but never the tourist. You inhabit landmarks for three dollars a night. In the hotel bathroom you only find a squat toilet. You\u2019re used to it now, and when you can\u2019t find any tissue in your backpack you just grab the excrement with your left hand. After a year of wandering around Asia, this is what you\u2019ve learned. No more fantasies. No more armor. Just a left-hand wiping the shit off.\n\n2016-10-12-18-37-20about the author:\n\nKawika Guillermo\u2019s stories can be found in Feminist Studies, The Hawai\u2019i Pacific Review, Tayo, Smokelong Quarterly, and many others.

Not everything succumbed to Sandy's destructive force, however. This little surfing robot, for example, survived on the high seas despite the storm, never failing to do its duty all the while.\n\nOne tough little Wave Glider robot, dubbed \"Mercury\" by its makers Liquid Robotics, had the misfortune of being about 100 miles east of Tom's River when that beast hurricane Sandy came rumbling towards land. But despite being caught in winds of up to 80 mph, the Wave Glider just kept on trucking, continuing to report home with the barometric pressure every 10 minutes regardless of rough seas.\n\nDesigned with a float that floats (duh) above the surface, and a submersible part below, Wave Gliders use mechanized wings to use the ocean's natural wave energy to push forward. And that's what Mercury did throughout the whole storm, even reporting a precipitous 54.3 millibar drop in pressure as Sandy neared the shore.\n\n\nMercury is still out there, just trucking along, proving these Wave Gliders can handle their fair share of punishment. Keep on keepin' on little guy. If you can get through, surely we can as well.

It is thought that between 1995 and 2000 they stole approximately $37 million from casinos in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and across the waters in Puerto Rico.\n\nHow They Did It\n\nThe Rosellis were no ordinary gangsters; whereas many scammers allowed greed to cloud their judgment and lead to their downfall these boys stuck to their plan to the very end. And their strategy was pure genius especially at a time when cyber-crime was still in its formative stages.\n\nThe group whose exact number has never been conclusively established employed the services of a hacker to acquire credit records of several well moneyed gamblers. But the criterion was not just money, the chosen few also had to have accounts in various leading casinos and possess an excellent credit record.\n\nOnce they had identified their targets they went on to use them as pawns to acquire their ultimate goal: exorbitant lines of credit. Basically, the brothers sought to gain the trust of leading casinos that in turn extended their credit. The first step in this part of the plan was to steal the identities of the affluent gamblers they had already picked and use these identities to open multiple accounts in major casinos.\n\nWith the accounts in operation, the Roselli Brothers funded them with $50,000 each and maintained a healthy yet \u2018credible\u2019 balance until the stipulated six month waiting period for credit application had elapsed. One might wonder where they got the money that funded the accounts. It is believed that the brothers were actually New Jersey gangsters and that this money was channeled from other illegal activities that they were involved in.\n\nHaving gotten into the casinos\u2019 good books, the brothers went on to play like any other gambler; they \u2018won\u2019 and \u2018lost\u2019 in the usual manner and even paid back all their markers within reasonable timeframes. Casino officials who were yet to realize that a game of \u2018offset betting\u2019 was being played on them continued to extend the gangsters\u2019 credit. Thus the group bounced around from one casino to the next without anyone raising and eyebrow.\n\nThe Aftermath\n\nBy 2000 the Rosellis were on top of their game, they had the casinos in their pockets and some of them had extended their credit to $1 million! Then one day, just as discretely as they first appeared the brothers were gone and of course they took every last dime that had been availed to them.\n\nOne has to hand it to them for staying under the radar for about five years. The FBI did not even get wind of them until they were nowhere to be found. Moreover, none of them was ever caught and the actual number of people that took part in the heist is still a mystery. However, it is widely accepted that the brothers may have been the generals but they must have had some foot soldiers to bring it all together.<|endoftext|>Friday, 15 July 2016\n\nOnline health and fitness apps in a platform society - Jos\u00e9 Van Dijck and Thomas Poell\n\nby Jos\u00e9 Van Dijck and Thomas Poell\n\nOver the past few years, hundreds of thousands of health and fitness apps have flooded the internet. What are the promises these apps make and what premises are they based on? Many apps promise to offer personal solutions to medical problems while also contributing to the public good. Online platforms serve as personalized data-driven services to their customers. At the same time, they allegedly serve public interests, such as medical research or health education.

Despite this, there are some that still think this \u201cpandering\u201d is misguided, which brings me to my next point \u2026\n\n3. \u201cThere\u2019s no reason to think pandering is profitable\u201d\n\nMuch like the previous complaint, this one is indicative of a systemic misconception; namely that only straight white men play games and therefore any attempt to market to another demographic is misguided. Quite simply, this is flat out untrue.\n\n\nPictured: Blizzard\u2019s response to criticism over their lesbian\u00a0character Tracer\n\nOn the contrary, it is often the case that representation convinces large groups of people to play a game who might not otherwise. This makes sense, people want to see media that is relevant to them or at the very least acknowledges their existence positively (a tall order for some studios). Video games don\u2019t have to sacrifice believability to be inclusive; in fact, the opposite is true. If video games want any chance of garnering respect they will need to demonstrate their ability to be grounded in the real world. That means incorporating people from a wealth of different cultures and backgrounds, not just a small sliver. Despite the reality that there is no \u201caverage\u201d gamer, there exists a common criticism leveled at any who would challenge the video game\u00a0hegemony \u2026\n\n4. \u201cAll these SJW\u2019s don\u2019t even care about video games\u201d\n\nThis is another complaint stemming from the flawed belief that women and other minorities only criticize games rather than play them. Aside from being altogether untrue, this idea\u00a0seems to equate critique with dislike of video games as a whole. In reality, the opposite is true. People only take the time to discuss and evaluate the media they enjoy; for most it\u2019s part of their enjoyment. In pointing out of the flaws of the games industry critics help to define what makes a game good and bad. This helps games grow and mature. If no one ever leveled a complaint at a game, by what metric could they ever help to improve?\n\n\n\u201cGames about non-white pixels are just pandering\u201d\n\nEven those that deem criticism of games valid take issue with some pretty major talking points. That\u2019s why you hear things like \u2026\n\n5. \u201cMale\u00a0characters are just as sexualized as female characters\u201d\n\nOkay this one is admittedly a little more believable. I mean, there\u2019s plenty of hot video game guys right?\n\n\n\nSeriously though if protagonists weren\u2019t enviable and attractive people wouldn\u2019t want to play as them. The inherent joy of games is getting to play as a pinnacle of our own ideals and desires. The issue lies in the misconception that this fantasy is equitable amongst genders. It cannot be said that both women and men exist as sexual fantasies in games. While this is often true for women, it is more appropriate to say that men exist as power fantasies. Quite simply, men are the people we want to emulate while women are meant to be objects for the viewer\u2019s consumption. We can look at this from another angle by examining what role women tend to fill in video games. It is often the case that on a given team of characters there exist a multitude of personality types,\u00a0for males that is. The hero, the doofus, the wizard, the smooth talker, a male can fall into any number of archetypes. All too often however any female characters are just that, female. They have no niche to fill other than the fulfillment of their gender. This phenomenon is appropriately referred to as the \u201csmurfette principle\u201c. The message here is that male is the default, the expected. Women are confined to a simplistic existence of contrast for the male identity. Still, there are those that argue that women can be sexy and still \u201cempowered\u201d, that\u2019s why you hear things like \u2026\n\n6.\u00a0\u201cDictating how women\u00a0should dress is the REAL sexism\u201d\n\nThis observation asserts that, because women in video games are choosing how to present themselves, it is sexist to claim that they are objectified. \u201cWho are we to question her decision? Clearly this is just how this woman expresses herself. When you try and tell a woman what she can and can\u2019t do, that\u2019s sexist.\u201d Even if we ignore the fact that in the physical\u00a0world women are inherently forced to commodify themselves and their sexuality to demonstrate value under the capitalist system, there is a pretty glaring flaw in this logic. Namely, that video games aren\u2019t real.\u00a0Ivy from the Soul Calibur doesn\u2019t \u201cchoose\u201d to dress like she does, the writers do.\n\n\nThe magical dancing sword whip is the most believable thing about this image\n\nThis is because Ivy isn\u2019t a person, she\u2019s a character within a story. We can\u2019t know what her choices would be because she doesn\u2019t exist. This argument might hold weight if just as many characters\u00a0chose to be enticing to the male gaze as those who didn\u2019t, but this certainly isn\u2019t the case. These characters are subject to a pretty blatant agenda of objectification, regardless of whatever convenient narrative is constructed to justify it. It\u2019s like saying, \u201cHey I\u2019m not racist, I\u2019ve got lots of black friends.\u201d except all your black friends are just crudely drawn pictures made by you.\n\nEvery art medium changes over time as new practitioners add their own unique skills and viewpoints. It was once believed that books signaled the end of intelligence but we\u2019ve been reading them for a while now and are doing okay so far. The truth is that gatekeeping does nothing to protect the integrity of a given artform. Instead, it only promotes stagnation.

Everette Chapman\n\nAmong my favorite books are those by Dr. William L. Stidger, a minister of a previous generation.\u00a0 May I share two of his stories for your reflection?\u00a0 Dr. Stidger writes in Sermon Stores of Faith and Hope:\n\n\n\u00a0\u00a0 Bishop Francis J. McConnell once told me a story of one of his vivid experiences on Cape Cod when he was a student preacher.\u00a0 He was walking one stormy night with an old sea captain along the shore.\u00a0 The captain was a patrol for the life guards, and he loved it.\u00a0 It was a wild, noisy, tempestuous night and each had to yell above the noise of the elements in order to be heard.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0 Suddenly the captain halted dead still in his tracks, cupped his hand to his ear, and said: \u201cI hear a cry of distress out in the surf.\u00a0 Somebody is in trouble.\u201d\u00a0 Bishop McConnell hadn\u2019t heard any cry of distress, but that old man\u2019s ears were tuned to a cry of distress, and he had heard it.\u00a0 He reported it immediately to the life guards and, sure enough, they went out and rescued two fishermen who were clinging to an upturned boat.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0 I then told the good and great bishop a story to match his\u2014for a fair exchange is no robbery.\u00a0 A little child had been sick for several nights, and her mother had tended her each night, but this one particularly hot summer night she had retired early for a much-needed rest.\u00a0 The windows being open, the \u201cclang\u201d and \u201cbang\u201d of two streetcar lines caused a terrible din, but she slept on undisturbed.\u00a0 A fire engine swept by with its siren blowing full blast, but her deep slumber was uninterrupted.\u00a0 Boys, playing baseball in a next door lot, yelled and shouted, but she slept, unconscious of what was happening around her.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0 The telephone rang three times before the father answered it.\u00a0 He had been absorbed in the radio baseball news.\u00a0 When it proved to be a wrong number, he let out a yell of indignation, but then", "base_doc": " dudery in games. Despite this, there are some that still think this \u201cpandering\u201d is misguided, which brings me to my next point \u2026\n\n3. \u201cThere\u2019s no reason to think pandering is profitable\u201d\n\nMuch like the previous complaint, this one is indicative of a systemic misconception; namely that only straight white men play games and therefore any attempt to market to another demographic is misguided. Quite simply, this is flat out untrue.\n\n\nPictured: Blizzard\u2019s response to criticism over their lesbian\u00a0character Tracer\n\nOn the contrary, it is often the case that representation convinces large groups of people to play a game who might not otherwise. This makes sense, people want to see media that is relevant to them or at the very least acknowledges their existence positively (a tall order for some studios). Video games don\u2019t have to sacrifice believability to be inclusive; in fact, the opposite is true. If video games want any chance of garnering respect they will need to demonstrate their ability to be grounded in the real world. That means incorporating people from a wealth of different cultures and backgrounds, not just a small sliver. Despite the reality that there is no \u201caverage\u201d gamer, there exists a common criticism leveled at any who would challenge the video game\u00a0hegemony \u2026\n\n4. \u201cAll these SJW\u2019s don\u2019t even care about video games\u201d\n\nThis is another complaint stemming from the flawed belief that women and other minorities only criticize games rather than play them. Aside from being altogether untrue, this idea\u00a0seems to equate critique with dislike of video games as a whole. In reality, the opposite is true. People only take the time to discuss and evaluate the media they enjoy; for most it\u2019s part of their enjoyment. In pointing out of the flaws of the games industry critics help to define what makes a game good and bad. This helps games grow and mature. If no one ever leveled a complaint at a game, by what metric could they ever help to improve?\n\n\n\u201cGames about non-white pixels are just pandering\u201d\n\nEven those that deem criticism of games valid take issue with some pretty major talking points.

Catez does a great job of discussing how confusing things can get for Christians in this circumstance, and she chastises me (albeit unknowingly).\nIt is always difficult when a \"Christian\" is brought to justice for this type of offending. Often there is confusion - some people will get big on the need to forgive \"the brother\", and even suggest he should not be submitted to the legal process. My position, and this comes from having seen this type of scenario before, and from talking with victims, is that a true Christian would take responsibility in order to stop offending, and would take steps which show repentance. If the offender truly considered the damage to the victims, then he would not have qualms about facing up to his actions and owning them.

With guidance, and care, and compassion they can gain some control over those compulsions, but they must forever after be viewed with suspicion and care. In these instances even genuine repentance and forgiveness can never result in a loosing of the safeguards that must be erected around such individuals to prevent it from happening again. There must always be something of the pariah about a person who has done this sort of thing. A person that is truly repentant will understand that and invite the safeguards and the associated \"scarlet letter,\" if not for themselves, then for the sake of their vicitims and potential victims.

Churches preach that your appearance does not matter and that age means nothing--while at the same time they kick out the gray-haired worship pastor in favor of the trendy postmodern guy who loves Coldplay.\nI have to be honest, I think CS aims well here, but still misses the essential point.

My father ran one for years, he helped people prepare resumes and CV's, he counselled them on interviewing technique, he networked them. Any church of any size ought to have such a ministry.

Using more global climate models in a climate modelling\u00a0study gives a better idea of the range of possible future climate conditions, and the more\u00a0confident we can be in the projected change in the Earth\u2019s climate.\u00a0The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) considered output from 23 global\u00a0climate models when compiling its Fourth Assessment Report. Climate Futures for\u00a0Tasmania used the same multi-model approach. However due to the modest scale of the\u00a0project relative to the IPCC AR4, we used six GCMs. As the ability to accurately simulate\u00a0present climate is a useful indicator of how well a model can simulate the future climate,\u00a0we chose the six models for their ability to reproduce present day rainfall means and\u00a0variability over Australia.\n\nGenerating fine-scale climate projections\nGenerally, climate information from\u00a0global climate models has a resolution\u00a0of 200 km to 300 km. This means that\u00a0the Earth\u2019s surface is divided into grid\u00a0cells that are 200 km to 300 km along\u00a0each side. At this resolution, a single state of Australia may be represented by only a few\u00a0grid\u00a0cells. In each grid cell, climate variables\u00a0such as temperature and rainfall, and\u00a0even the topography, have just a\u00a0single value. This means global climate\u00a0models do not allow us to understand\u00a0the regional detail of climate change at\u00a0local scales, for example they can not\u00a0distinguish between valleys, coastlines and mountains. For this level of detail,\u00a0we downscale information from global\u00a0climate models using an advanced\u00a0dynamical model.\n\nEmissions scenarios\nIt is very likely that rising greenhouse gases,\u00a0along with aerosol emissions, stratospheric\u00a0ozone depletion and other human influences,\u00a0are responsible for much of the recent\u00a0global climate change. The extent of future\u00a0man-made climate change is dependent\u00a0on the amount of greenhouse gases and\u00a0other emissions that are released. The most\u00a0commonly used and accepted set of emissions\u00a0scenarios comes from the Intergovernmental\u00a0Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), who outlined\u00a0the scenarios in their 2001 Special Report on\u00a0Emissions Scenarios (SRES). These scenarios,\u00a0commonly referred to as SRES scenarios, are\u00a0divided into six \u2018families\u2019 \u2013 A1FI, A2, A1B, B2,\u00a0A1T and B1 \u2013 and are based on estimated\u00a0future technological and societal (such as\u00a0population growth) changes.\nClimate Futures for Tasmania used a high emissions scenario (A2) and a low emissions scenario (B1).\u00a0Using a high and a low emissions scenario provides a reasonable upper and lower range\u00a0of climate change projections. It is worth noting that these emissions scenarios do not\u00a0diverge significantly until the middle of the 21st century and thus the change in global mean\u00a0near\u2011surface temperature is roughly the same across all emissions scenarios up until the\u00a0middle of the century. Consequently, the choice of SRES emissions scenario does not become\u00a0important until the latter half of the century.\n\nChoosing a downscaling method\nThere are two established methods for downscaling global climate model information to a\u00a0finer scale suitable for regional studies: dynamical downscaling and statistical downscaling.\u00a0Dynamical downscaling uses output from a \u2018host\u2019 global climate model as input into either\u00a0a limited-area climate model or a stretched grid global climate model. Limited area climate\u00a0models operate over a small part of the globe. Stretched grid global climate models\u00a0operate over the entire globe, but focus on one small area in particular.\nRegional climate models use the same physics as global climate models, and can be just\u00a0as complex; however, because a regional model focuses on a small area, it provides more\u00a0detail over that area than a global model, and is much more efficient and economical to\n\nStatistical downscaling relates patterns and changes in large scale climate to the local\u00a0climate. These statistical relationships are derived from historical observations. Once\u00a0established, the relationships are applied to global climate model projections to produce\nfine-scale projections of local climate. Statistical downscaling is usually much less complex,\u00a0and requires much less computing power, than dynamical downscaling.\u00a0Statistical and dynamical downscaling produce similar results for present-day climate, but\ncan differ when examining future climate projections.\u00a0Statistical downscaling applies historically observed links between large-scale climate\u00a0variables (from the global climate model) and local climate to a future climate. This\u00a0is often considered a limitation of statistical downscaling, as these relationships may\u00a0change in a warmer world. Dynamical downscaling models are complex enough to\u00a0allow relationships between large-scale climate and local climate to change under future\u00a0climate according to our understanding of atmospheric processes. A second limitation of\u00a0projecting a changing climate using statistical downscaling is that the observations being\u00a0used for the downscaling must span the range of projected future climate responses. In\u00a0practice, this requires long, reliable observations of both the large and fine-scale climate.\u00a0Such observational datasets are often not available. Dynamical models rely on our\u00a0understanding of physical processes in the atmosphere, not only observations of climate.\n\nDynamical models are complex enough to simulate climate and climate changes at all\u00a0scales, from global to regional, in a coherent manner. Using dynamical downscaling allows\u00a0us to demonstrate changes in the local climate of Tasmania, such as changes to the timing,\u00a0frequency and intensity of weather events \u2013 changes that are difficult to detect using statistical\u00a0downscaling. Dynamical downscaling also maintains the relationships between different\u00a0climate variables. For example, \u2018rainy days\u2019 will be \u2018cloudy\u2019 and \u2018cool\u2019, or when a \u2018cold front\u2019 passes\u00a0over Tasmania the \u2018temperature\u2019 drops. This allows us to assess complex changes, for example\u00a0changes to agricultural production, that involve the interaction of many climate variables (for\u00a0example, the incidence of frost and available water).\u00a0The main constraint of dynamical downscaling is the technical complexity and computational\u00a0cost. Because of the many benefits of dynamical downscaling, Climate Futures for Tasmania\u00a0made the technical and financial commitment to use dynamical downscaling\n\n\nDownscaling can lead to a different story:\u00a0The global climate model (top image) shows that summer\u00a0rainfall is projected to decrease in the future. As we\u00a0downscale from the global climate model (middle and\u00a0bottom image) projections show an increase in summer\u00a0rainfall on the east coast of Tasmania. This different\u00a0projection is due to the improved ability of the downscaled\u00a0simulations to model drivers of Tasmanian rainfall.\n\nApplying the downscaling method\nTasmania is roughly 350 km by 300 km, the size of a few global climate model grid cells.\u00a0After carefully weighing up the costs and benefits involved with downscaling to different\u00a0grid-scales, Climate Futures for Tasmania decided on a final resolution of 0.1 degrees . This\u00a0corresponds to a grid where each individual cell has side lengths of approximately 10 km.\u00a0To achieve this resolution we undertook a two-stage dynamical downscaling process using\u00a0CSIRO\u2019s Conformal Cubic Atmospheric Model (CCAM).\u00a0The two-stage process used sea surface temperature from the six selected global climate\u00a0models (for each of the two SRES emissions scenarios) to create intermediate resolution\u00a0simulations with a resolution of 0.5 degrees (around 60 km) over Australia.\nBefore we use the modelling output from the global climate models, we bias-adjust the sea\u00a0surface temperature to bring the modelling output in line with the observed temperatures.\u00a0These intermediate-resolution simulations are used as input for the simulations with a\u00a0high-resolution over Tasmania (0.1 degrees or 10 km). We also produce a simulation with\u00a0very high resolution over Tasmania (0.05-degrees) using the A2 emissions scenario and\u00a0CSIRO-Mk3.5 as the host global climate model.\u00a0The temperature of the sea surface is a major factor in driving global climate systems (such\u00a0as the monsoons, El Ni\u00f1o or the Roaring Forties), that in turn influence the local climate\u00a0and weather conditions. Sea surface temperature (and sea-ice concentration in the polar\u00a0regions) is the only information from the global climate model we use in the downscaling\u00a0process. By only using information from the ocean surface, we allow the regional climate\u00a0simulations to create their own pressure, wind, temperature and rainfall patterns in the\u00a0atmosphere. These patterns occur in response to such local effects as topography.

Using more global climate models in a climate modelling\u00a0study gives a better idea of the range of possible future climate conditions, and the more\u00a0confident we can be in the projected change in the Earth\u2019s climate.\u00a0The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) considered output from 23 global\u00a0climate models when compiling its Fourth Assessment Report. Climate Futures for\u00a0Tasmania used the same multi-model approach. However due to the modest scale of the\u00a0project relative to the IPCC AR4, we used six GCMs. As the ability to accurately simulate\u00a0present climate is a useful indicator of how well a model can simulate the future climate,\u00a0we chose the six models for their ability to reproduce present day rainfall means and\u00a0variability over Australia.\n\nGenerating fine-scale climate projections\nGenerally, climate information from\u00a0global climate models has a resolution\u00a0of 200 km to 300 km. This means that\u00a0the Earth\u2019s surface is divided into grid\u00a0cells that are 200 km to 300 km along\u00a0each side. At this resolution, a single state of Australia may be represented by only a few\u00a0grid\u00a0cells. In each grid cell, climate variables\u00a0such as temperature and rainfall, and\u00a0even the topography, have just a\u00a0single value. This means global climate\u00a0models do not allow us to understand\u00a0the regional detail of climate change at\u00a0local scales, for example they can not\u00a0distinguish between valleys, coastlines and mountains. For this level of detail,\u00a0we downscale information from global\u00a0climate models using an advanced\u00a0dynamical model.\n\nEmissions scenarios\nIt is very likely that rising greenhouse gases,\u00a0along with aerosol emissions, stratospheric\u00a0ozone depletion and other human influences,\u00a0are responsible for much of the recent\u00a0global climate change. The extent of future\u00a0man-made climate change is dependent\u00a0on the amount of greenhouse gases and\u00a0other emissions that are released. The most\u00a0commonly used and accepted set of emissions\u00a0scenarios comes from the Intergovernmental\u00a0Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), who outlined\u00a0the scenarios in their 2001 Special Report on\u00a0Emissions Scenarios (SRES). These scenarios,\u00a0commonly referred to as SRES scenarios, are\u00a0divided into six \u2018families\u2019 \u2013 A1FI, A2, A1B, B2,\u00a0A1T and B1 \u2013 and are based on estimated\u00a0future technological and societal (such as\u00a0population growth) changes.\nClimate Futures for Tasmania used a high emissions scenario (A2) and a low emissions scenario (B1).\u00a0Using a high and a low emissions scenario provides a reasonable upper and lower range\u00a0of climate change projections. It is worth noting that these emissions scenarios do not\u00a0diverge significantly until the middle of the 21st century and thus the change in global mean\u00a0near\u2011surface temperature is roughly the same across all emissions scenarios up until the\u00a0middle of the century. Consequently, the choice of SRES emissions scenario does not become\u00a0important until the latter half of the century.\n\nChoosing a downscaling method\nThere are two established methods for downscaling global climate model information to a\u00a0finer scale suitable for regional studies: dynamical downscaling and statistical downscaling.\u00a0Dynamical downscaling uses output from a \u2018host\u2019 global climate model as input into either\u00a0a limited-area climate model or a stretched grid global climate model. Limited area climate\u00a0models operate over a small part of the globe. Stretched grid global climate models\u00a0operate over the entire globe, but focus on one small area in particular.\nRegional climate models use the same physics as global climate models, and can be just\u00a0as complex; however, because a regional model focuses on a small area, it provides more\u00a0detail over that area than a global model, and is much more efficient and economical to\n\nStatistical downscaling relates patterns and changes in large scale climate to the local\u00a0climate. These statistical relationships are derived from historical observations. Once\u00a0established, the relationships are applied to global climate model projections to produce\nfine-scale projections of local climate. Statistical downscaling is usually much less complex,\u00a0and requires much less computing power, than dynamical downscaling.\u00a0Statistical and dynamical downscaling produce similar results for present-day climate, but\ncan differ when examining future climate projections.\u00a0Statistical downscaling applies historically observed links between large-scale climate\u00a0variables (from the global climate model) and local climate to a future climate. This\u00a0is often considered a limitation of statistical downscaling, as these relationships may\u00a0change in a warmer world. Dynamical downscaling models are complex enough to\u00a0allow relationships between large-scale climate and local climate to change under future\u00a0climate according to our understanding of atmospheric processes. A second limitation of\u00a0projecting a changing climate using statistical downscaling is that the observations being\u00a0used for the downscaling must span the range of projected future climate responses. In\u00a0practice, this requires long, reliable observations of both the large and fine-scale climate.\u00a0Such observational datasets are often not available. Dynamical models rely on our\u00a0understanding of physical processes in the atmosphere, not only observations of climate.\n\nDynamical models are complex enough to simulate climate and climate changes at all\u00a0scales, from global to regional, in a coherent manner. Using dynamical downscaling allows\u00a0us to demonstrate changes in the local climate of Tasmania, such as changes to the timing,\u00a0frequency and intensity of weather events \u2013 changes that are difficult to detect using statistical\u00a0downscaling. Dynamical downscaling also maintains the relationships between different\u00a0climate variables. For example, \u2018rainy days\u2019 will be \u2018cloudy\u2019 and \u2018cool\u2019, or when a \u2018cold front\u2019 passes\u00a0over Tasmania the \u2018temperature\u2019 drops. This allows us to assess complex changes, for example\u00a0changes to agricultural production, that involve the interaction of many climate variables (for\u00a0example, the incidence of frost and available water).\u00a0The main constraint of dynamical downscaling is the technical complexity and computational\u00a0cost.

The more often you repeat an experiment and get a similar answer, the\u00a0more trustworthy the results.

The gay disco in London is also based on a real experience, where Jean found herself to be the only woman in the nightclub and finally got the message about the man with her.\n\nAll the places in the novel exist and a reader could trace the heroine Helen's footsteps from the cuddly marmots of St Geniez d'Olt in the Lot region of France, to the dolmens of Mynydd Llangedeyrne in rural south Wales, UK.\n\nResearch for the novel included a phone call to the French Embassy in London to find out what would happen if a UK citizen were involved in an accident in France. No amount of explanantion would convince the Embassy officials that Jean was a novelist not a criminal but they sent her a useful leaflet. Research also involved Jean's local vet and when he turned up at one of her readings, everyone in the room clapped, thinking him to be the origin of Helen's lover, Dai Evans. She assured everyone that only his knowledge of bovine diseases had been featured in the book but for some reason, again, no-one believed her.\n\nShare this:<|endoftext|>Recently I\u2019ve seen unsolicited SPAM e-mails coming directly from other peoples\u2019 e-mail and social networking accounts.

Later, when the viceroy of Egypt (Joseph, not yet recognised by the brothers) threatens to hold Benjamin as a prisoner, Judah offers to spend his life as a slave so that his brother can go free. Judah is the clearest example in Bereishit of someone who takes adversity as a learning experience rather than as failure. In Dweck\u2019s terminology, he had a growth mindset. Evidently he handed on this trait to his descendants, Caleb among them.\n\nAs for Joshua, the text tells us, specifically in the story of the spies, that Moses had changed his name. Originally he was called Hoshea, but Moses added a letter to his name (Num. 13: 16). A change of name always implies a change of character or calling. Abram became Abraham. Jacob became Israel. When our name changes, says Maimonides, it is as if we or someone else were saying, \u201cYou are not the same person as you were before\u201d (Mishneh Torah, Laws of Repentance 2: 4). Anyone who has experienced a name-change has been inducted into a growth mindset.\n\nPeople with the growth mindset do not fear failure. They relish challenges. They know that if they fail, they will try again until they succeed. It cannot be coincidence that the two people among the spies who had the growth mindset were also the two who were unafraid of the risks and trials of conquering the land. Nor can it be accidental that the ten others, all of whom carried the burden of people\u2019s expectations (as leaders, princes, men of high rank) were reluctant to do so.\n\nIf this analysis is correct, the story of the spies holds a significant message for us. G-d does not ask us never to fail. He asks of us that we give of our best. He lifts us when we fall and forgives us when we fail. It is this that gives us the courage to take risks. That is what Joshua and Caleb knew, one through his name change, the other through the experience of his ancestor Judah.\n\nHence the paradoxical but deeply liberating truth: Fear of failure causes us to fail. It is the willingness to fail that allows us to succeed.\n<|endoftext|>But there was one injured border guard.

Grant\n\n\nThe interaction of small molecules with DNA has been extensively studied and has produced a large catalogue of molecules that non-covalently bind to DNA though groove binding, intercalation, electrostatics, or a combination of these binding modes. Anthracene, acridine, and carbocyanine-based chromophores have been examined for their DNA binding properties and photo-reactivities. Their planar aromatic structures make them ideal chromophores that can be used to probe DNA structural interactions and binding patterns. We have studied DNA binding and photocleavgage properties of a bisacridine chromophore joined by a 2,6-bis(aminomethyl)pyridine copper-binding linker (Chapter II), a series of 9-aminomethyl anthracene chromophores (Chapters III and IV), both under conditions of high and low ionic strength, as well as a series of pentamethine linked symmetrical carbocyanine dyes (Chapter V). In Chapter II we present data showing that high ionic strength efficiently increases copper(II)-dependent photocleavage of plasmid DNA by the bisacridine based chromophore (419 nm, pH 7.0). In Chapters III and IV, using an pyridine N-substituted 9-(aminomethyl)anthracene (Chapter III), a bis-9-(aminomethyl)anthracene, and its mono 9-(aminomethyl)anthracene analogue (Chapter IV), pUC19 plasmid DNA was photo-converted to highly diffuse DNA fragments (350 nm, pH 7.0) in the presence of 150 mM NaCl and 260 mM KCl. Spectroscopic analyses suggest that the combination of salts promotes a change in DNA helical structure that initiate a switch in anthracene binding mode from intercalation to an external or groove binding interactions. The alteration in DNA structure and binding mode leads to an increase in the anthracene-sensitized production of DNA damaging reactive oxygen species. Finally, in Chapter V, pUC19 plasmid DNA is converted to its nicked circular and linear forms following irradiation of a series of pentamethine linked symmetrical carbocyanines (red light, pH 7.0). The data suggest that the relative levels of photocleavage arise from the different substituents on the nitrogen alkyl side chain and the pentamethine linker.<|endoftext|>Police Use New Technology To Patrol\n\nBy \u00a0|\u00a0\n\nPanama City Beach police have a relatively new tool they're using this year to keep an eye on spring breakers and locals. Police have set-up a special security tower in the parking lot of the Walmart on Front Beach Road. It allows them to go 25 feet above the crowd to spot problems, and hopefully act as a deterrent to trouble.\n\n\"Down around La Vela and Spinnaker, we have a lot more officer presence down in that area,\u201d said Lt. Rich McClanahan with the Panama City Beach Police Dept. \u201cUp in this area the tower being up in the air keeps a lot of cars from getting broken into, keeps people a little bit more under control from wanting to get into those big groups and fight.\"\n\nOfficials believe these towers could be a real asset where large crowds congregate.\n\n\"There's just different events where we have large crowds and by having one of these it'll keep the crowds safer if a child was to go missing, it just gets a set of eyes up higher over those crowds.\"\n\nAnd since it\u2019s imposing, it has a way of helping things say calm.\n\n\"When they're in the area, people tend to behave a little bit better or think or know that the officers are present and watching, so less likely to have car burglaries, fights.\n\nAlthough these towers are on loan, McClanahan says the department is trying to find grants and other ways to fund their own purchase of the towers.<|endoftext|>The Secret to Back Pain is in Your Feet! The 5 Exercises That Fix Everything!\n\nBack pain is a very common problem\u00a0that most of the people experience at some point in their life. Such pains can be triggered by different body postures, improper sitting, standing and many others and they can appear on a daily basis. However, this article provides you an easy and very simple way to release your pain. It includes exercises that will help you remove pain in the back, knees, and hip.\n\nIf you practice them more often, you won\u2019t experience any problems.\n\nThese are the moves that will improve your balance and body posture, and relieve your pain.\n\nFeet Are Very Important\n\nFeet are one of the most important body parts that control your overall balance, body posture and some\u00a0pains. They enable our movement\u00a0throughout the day while withstanding some uncomfortable\u00a0footwear. A suitable care of them\u00a0will provide a prime condition of the whole\u00a0body.\n\nWith aging our feet become deteriorated and painful so it is hard to walk. That\u2019s the reason why one in three Americans fall suddenly and the risk\u00a0of falling increases in the 80s and the 90s.\n\nWhile walking, the pressure on each foot controls the\u00a0balance of the rest of the body. Also, pain in one foot can put off your balanced walking or standing.\n\nIf you exercise on a regular basis, you will strengthen your muscles and keep a proper blood flow thus preventing any balance problems connected\u00a0with age.\n\nThe balance relates to\u00a0body posture\u00a0and it involves a proper alignment of bones and muscles to keep your upright.

Later, when the viceroy of Egypt (Joseph, not yet recognised by the brothers) threatens to hold Benjamin as a prisoner, Judah offers to spend his life as a slave so that his brother can go free. Judah is the clearest example in Bereishit of someone who takes adversity as a learning experience rather than as failure. In Dweck\u2019s terminology, he had a growth mindset. Evidently he handed on this trait to his descendants, Caleb among them.\n\nAs for Joshua, the text tells us, specifically in the story of the spies, that Moses had changed his name. Originally he was called Hoshea, but Moses added a letter to his name (Num. 13: 16). A change of name always implies a change of character or calling. Abram became Abraham. Jacob became Israel. When our name changes, says Maimonides, it is as if we or someone else were saying, \u201cYou are not the same person as you were before\u201d (Mishneh Torah, Laws of Repentance 2: 4). Anyone who has experienced a name-change has been inducted into a growth mindset.\n\nPeople with the growth mindset do not fear failure. They relish challenges. They know that if they fail, they will try again until they succeed. It cannot be coincidence that the two people among the spies who had the growth mindset were also the two who were unafraid of the risks and trials of conquering the land. Nor can it be accidental that the ten others, all of whom carried the burden of people\u2019s expectations (as leaders, princes, men of high rank) were reluctant to do so.\n\nIf this analysis is correct, the story of the spies holds a significant message for us. G-d does not ask us never to fail. He asks of us that we give of our best. He lifts us when we fall and forgives us when we fail. It is this that gives us the courage to take risks. That is what Joshua and Caleb knew, one through his name change, the other through the experience of his ancestor Judah.\n\nHence the paradoxical but deeply liberating truth: Fear of failure causes us to fail. It is the willingness to fail that allows us to succeed.\n<|endoftext|>Show a hidden empty stave on selected pages\n\nI have hide empty staves on.

Grant\n\n\nThe interaction of small molecules with DNA has been extensively studied and has produced a large catalogue of molecules that non-covalently bind to DNA though groove binding, intercalation, electrostatics, or a combination of these binding modes. Anthracene, acridine, and carbocyanine-based chromophores have been examined for their DNA binding properties and photo-reactivities. Their planar aromatic structures make them ideal chromophores that can be used to probe DNA structural interactions and binding patterns. We have studied DNA binding and photocleavgage properties of a bisacridine chromophore joined by a 2,6-bis(aminomethyl)pyridine copper-binding linker (Chapter II), a series of 9-aminomethyl anthracene chromophores (Chapters III and IV), both under conditions of high and low ionic strength, as well as a series of pentamethine linked symmetrical carbocyanine dyes (Chapter V). In Chapter II we present data showing that high ionic strength efficiently increases copper(II)-dependent photocleavage of plasmid DNA by the bisacridine based chromophore (419 nm, pH 7.0). In Chapters III and IV, using an pyridine N-substituted 9-(aminomethyl)anthracene (Chapter III), a bis-9-(aminomethyl)anthracene, and its mono 9-(aminomethyl)anthracene analogue (Chapter IV), pUC19 plasmid DNA was photo-converted to highly diffuse DNA fragments (350 nm, pH 7.0) in the presence of 150 mM NaCl and 260 mM KCl. Spectroscopic analyses suggest that the combination of salts promotes a change in DNA helical structure that initiate a switch in anthracene binding mode from intercalation to an external or groove binding interactions. The alteration in DNA structure and binding mode leads to an increase in the anthracene-sensitized production of DNA damaging reactive oxygen species. Finally, in Chapter V, pUC19 plasmid DNA is converted to its nicked circular and linear forms following irradiation of a series of pentamethine linked symmetrical carbocyanines (red light, pH 7.0). The data suggest that the relative levels of photocleavage arise from the different substituents on the nitrogen alkyl side chain and the pentamethine linker.<|endoftext|>Police Use New Technology To Patrol\n\nBy \u00a0|\u00a0\n\nPanama City Beach police have a relatively new tool they're using this year to keep an eye on spring breakers and locals. Police have set-up a special security tower in the parking lot of the Walmart on Front Beach Road. It allows them to go 25 feet above the crowd to spot problems, and hopefully act as a deterrent to trouble.\n\n\"Down around La Vela and Spinnaker, we have a lot more officer presence down in that area,\u201d said Lt. Rich McClanahan with the Panama City Beach Police Dept. \u201cUp in this area the tower being up in the air keeps a lot of cars from getting broken into, keeps people a little bit more under control from wanting to get into those big groups and fight.\"\n\nOfficials believe these towers could be a real asset where large crowds congregate.\n\n\"There's just different events where we have large crowds and by having one of these it'll keep the crowds safer if a child was to go missing, it just gets a set of eyes up higher over those crowds.\"\n\nAnd since it\u2019s imposing, it has a way of helping things say calm.\n\n\"When they're in the area, people tend to behave a little bit better or think or know that the officers are present and watching, so less likely to have car burglaries, fights.\n\nAlthough these towers are on loan, McClanahan says the department is trying to find grants and other ways to fund their own purchase of the towers.<|endoftext|>The Secret to Back Pain is in Your Feet! The 5 Exercises That Fix Everything!\n\nBack pain is a very common problem\u00a0that most of the people experience at some point in their life. Such pains can be triggered by different body postures, improper sitting, standing and many others and they can appear on a daily basis. However, this article provides you an easy and very simple way to release your pain. It includes exercises that will help you remove pain in the back, knees, and hip.\n\nIf you practice them more often, you won\u2019t experience any problems.\n\nThese are the moves that will improve your balance and body posture, and relieve your pain.\n\nFeet Are Very Important\n\nFeet are one of the most important body parts that control your overall balance, body posture and some\u00a0pains. They enable our movement\u00a0throughout the day while withstanding some uncomfortable\u00a0footwear. A suitable care of them\u00a0will provide a prime condition of the whole\u00a0body.\n\nWith aging our feet become deteriorated and painful so it is hard to walk. That\u2019s the reason why one in three Americans fall suddenly and the risk\u00a0of falling increases in the 80s and the 90s.\n\nWhile walking, the pressure on each foot controls the\u00a0balance of the rest of the body. Also, pain in one foot can put off your balanced walking or standing.\n\nIf you exercise on a regular basis, you will strengthen your muscles and keep a proper blood flow thus preventing any balance problems connected\u00a0with age.\n\nThe balance relates to\u00a0body posture\u00a0and it involves a proper alignment of bones and muscles to keep your upright. If they are not aligned in the proper manner your body posture can out of balance.\n\nAccording to a study, women who wear high heels have greater risk of experiencing pain in the lower back. This pain can cause problems with the posture and you have to undertake different methods to relieve the pain.\n\n 1. Toe \u2013 Pressing\n\nBefore you exercise any part of your body, you need to warm up your toes. By toe pressing you will improve the flow of blood in your feet and in the same time you will relax them. You just have to stand up, bend your knees slightly, grasp the floor with the\u00a0toes and stay in that position for three\u00a0seconds. Do\u00a0this exercise for 10\u00a0times, 3\u00a0times every day in order to keep your toes young and strong.\n\n 1. Toe \u2013 Walking\n\nYou will strengthen your muscles, ligaments and toes by toe walking as a ballerina for twenty\u00a0seconds. Standing like that will significantly improve your feet. Do this exercise twice a day, five times with small pause\u00a0in between. If you notice your balance is not perfect, hold on walls or surfaces but do not worry at all because it will significantly better\u00a0with practice.\n\n 1.

The Syrians were against the construction of the road and responded by again surrounding Zahle with 2600 troops. The people of Zahle started take up arms and prepared for the inevitable Syrian assault. On April 2nd 1981 Syria began bombarding the city. At the start of the battle the Syrian commander announced that his troops had moved to evict the Lebanese Forces from Zahle as it was vital for Syrian security to prevent the construction of the road between Mount Lebanon and Zahle.\n\nOn the first day of battle the Syrians tried to seize the high ground above the city but were repelled with the loss of three armored vehicles and the death of over twenty soldiers and so the next day the Syrians retaliated with an artillery barrage on east Beirut which inflicted heavy civilian casualties. For days the Syrians launched assault after assault and the city but were unable to breach the defenses of Zahle due to the stiff resistance put up by the people of Zahle themselves as well as the small number of troops stationed there. Syrian forces in the capital were redeployed to Zahle to bolster artillery fire, which was rapidly turning central Zahle into ruins. The population of Zahle refused to surrender and so it was decided by the Syrians that they would force it to submission through siege. Ghassan Tueni, Lebanon's delegate to the United Nations, called for UNIFIL forces to take over the Zahle region. As the situation grew critical, Lebanon's Grand Mufti, Sheikh Hassan al-Khalid, joined with Pope John Paul II in expressing concern over the intensive fighting. Both men reasserted the obvious fact that the conflict in Lebanon was not religious in nature.\n\nAt the start of 1981 Syria had launched its \"Program of National Reconciliation,\" which was designed to install Sulayman Franjieh as president. Bashir Gemayel found the proposition unpalatable, but he was impotent to oppose it politically. Therefore, to strengthen his position he desperately needed a victory in Zahle. Bashir Gemayel needed to reinforce Zahle and managed to infiltrate another 100 Lebanese Forces militiamen into the city to support the forces already there and to attack Syrian positions and to shell the Syrian headquarters in the adjacent town of Shtawrah.\n\nBy the last week of April, two ineffectual cease-fires had collapsed and Syrian Mig jets had strafed the outskirts of the beleaguered town. This was, apparently, an attempt to show the Phalangists that Syria still had an open option--air power. The Zahle defenders could either surrender or face annihilation by air attack. The air raid was followed by a land-based missile attack, using Soviet-made Grad rockets. The attacks drove the Lebanese Forces from the outlying city buildings, giving the Syrians their first, tentative, victory.\n\nThe town sagged under heavy fire as its defenders began to run low on food, medical supplies, and ammunition. An attempt to break out and reach the suburbs of Beirut was abruptly terminated by Syrian special forces in their distinctive tiger-patterned uniforms. Supply lines were set up from Ouyoun El Simman and Baskinta. The weather conditions were terrible with heavy snow covering the mountain peaks over which many of the supplies were brought in on foot.They were aided by tactical air power. The siege of Zahle was beginning to resemble a new version of the campaign for Tal Zaatar.\n\nAt the end of April, the Syrians had entered into direct negotiations with the Zahle leadership and had reached a tentative accord. The agreement called for a pullback by the Syrians, the safe removal of the right-wing militiamen, and the assignment of the Lebanese police to secure the town. The Phalangists considered the agreement a victory, for it ended Syrian attempts to infiltrate the city.\n\nHowever, Syria would not accept a plan that insulted its prerogatives and disputed its power and authority in Lebanon. President Assad ordered artillery fire and helicopter assaults against the Phalangist fortifications. The choppers flew Syrian special forces into battle for Mt. Sannin, in the hills above Zahle, which overlooked and guarded the Bekaa Valley. The Syrian troops, rappelling downward from the choppers, ran into a group of militiamen on patrol and a fire-fight ensued. The Lebanese Front ordered its negotiating team in Zahle to cut off all talks with the Syrians. Pulling out at this point, was seen as a defeat for Syria. The Syrian Air Force went into action, strafing Gharfat al-Fransawiye, a mountain stronghold of the militia, about eight miles west of Zahle. The second air attack came on the twenty-sixth day of the conflict.\n\nSoon afterward, the Syrian forces began to move against the hilltop emplacements above the city, which had been established and fortified by the Lebanese Forces to protect the main entrance to the city. Bashir Gemayel ordered his entombed militia to fight to the end, pledging every possible effort to reach them with additional supplies and manpower. Meanwhile, Syrian reinforcements poured into the battle, creating traffic congestion along the Beirut-Damascus highway and its arterials. The hills above Zahle became the prime targets for Syrian gunners. The town itself was completely encircled, with Syrian soldiers holding all access points under tight siege. The Lebanese Forces in Zahle had been badly mauled and battered, but their fighting spirit was undiminished. Moreover, the Syrians knew this, for they had committed approximately half their force of twenty-two thousand men to the campaign. The mountain strongholds, which overlooked Zahle, remained in rightist hands, forcing the Syrian command to send additional airborne troops into battle.\n\nAs the fighting intensified Gemayel called an urgent meeting with Begin and convinced him that the Syrians intended to follow through on the siege with an all-out attack on the Christian heartland and urged Israel to launch an air strike against the Syrians. On April 28, the Israeli cabinet convened and authorized a limited air strike, but it did so over the strident objections of Israel's intelligence chiefs, who suspected that the crisis was a Lebanese Forces ploy. Israeli fighter jets carried out the raid and downed two Syrian helicopter troop transports on Mount Sannine, a strategic mountain overlooking Zahle. The brief air battle astronomically raised tensions to a new climax by pitting the Syrians against their archenemy, the Israelis. The Syrians backed off a bit but then resumed an around-the-clock artillery bombardment of the town, pledging to leave it in total devastation, a pile of rubble for the Phalangists to sift through, if it refused to surrender.\n\nMoreover, to counter the Israeli moves, Syria introduced at least nine antiaircraft missiles, SAM-6s, near the Riyaq air base, in the Bekaa Valley. Under the cover of the missiles, the Syrians sent land forces up Mt. Sannin and took it from its defenders in heavy, bloody, close combat. The rightists were exhausted and had run out of ammunition and supplies. Zahle however, held fast, repulsing one attack after another.\n\nAs the days went on sharp differences erupted within the Lebanese Forces in Zahle as to how to best defend the city. The forces in Zahle had been unprepared for a big showdown. Fuad Abou Nader and Boutros Khawand were dispatched to settle matters as well as the commander of the LF armored battalion, Joseph Elias who was himself from Zahle and had a tough reputation. However, they failed to reconcile the field commanders.\n\nBy the time Samir Geagea arrived the Lebanese Forces command headquarters had been wrecked by Syrian shelling and the officers were in complete disarray.

Local Lebanese Forces troops had to disarm and forces from Beirut had to leave. The security of Zahle was handed over to Lebanese government internal security forces. The Syrians would be allowed to maintain check points around Zahle to prevent the Lebanese Forces form returning. Trucks and buses were provided to evacuate the Lebanese Forces fighters and 95 returned to Beirut on the 1st of July 1981. Over the next couple of days the Syrians pulled out of their fortifications about the city. Failure to defeat Zahle was a humiliation for the Syrians and a victory for Bashir Gemayel. Of far greater significance, however, was the exceptionally strong resistance put forth by the right-wing militiamen.

Traffic circles have recently replaced lights from this point south along the Vassar street front; sitting on the bench, I noticed there were apparently still locals who have little idea how to negotiate these obstacles.

Mrs. Fratz (I remember \"Mrs.\", though I'm not sure) was overtly unattractive, looking very much like Max Patkin, the erstwhile Clown Prince of Baseball, with the added indignity of having severe elephantiasis in both lower legs. But what a teacher! Wonderful temperament combined with pushing this bunch of eight-year olds well beyond our supposed limits. I specifically recall learning 8th grade math, algebra, in her 3rd grade class. She retired during my senior year in High School, 1972, and apparently I wasn't the only one with fond appreciation for her toil, as our class gave her a nice retirement party. Thanks, Mrs. Fratz.

The silences, though present, are of shorter duration than is found in much of what I've heard and the ancillary sounds--here, all manner of clicks and rustles--are also more in evidence. At heart, though, are the paired, quiet, lengthy breathlike tones from trombone and bass clarinet (a luscious enough sound marriage in any case). That dissolving of the borders between structure and pure sound seems to me, in part, to be what Malfatti's about anyway and this is a fantastic example of same. One's mind flits back and forth between these concepts; as soon as I find myself wallowing in the lush depths of Capece's bass clarinet, frosted by the trombone, I flash back to the layered structure that would be there regardless of the specific sound source and find that fascinating enough for me to forget the exact sounds involved. There's an utterly lovely sequence near the end where Malfatti taps a cadence with his fingertips on the trombone over a low, burred tone from Capece that's worth the price of admission. For all the glacial pace, one's brain is constantly active, slipping from one mode to another, maybe once in a while attaining some kind of illusory balance.

Here, as Green Blossoms, in collaboration with his partner Aiko Noga, he pushes even further in that direction, the pair compiling a set of dreamy songs over a mix of electronics and guitar-generated tones that range from delightful whimsy to gauzy evocations that all but evaporate.

I think they have a leg up with the delicious instrumental blend here: Kamerman tends toward the harsh and metallic while Gomberg has a refreshing tendency, when I've heard him, to linger in tonal byways. Add to this the all too rare, in this music, timbre of the french horn, beautifully deployed here by Guthrie, and you have a delicious prospect from the get-go. And then", "base_doc": "Spartacus'. Not a bad choice at all for a 6-year old! Although the other early one I recall viewing there was of a slightly lesser grade, Jack the Giant Killer. Saw many a movie at the Juliet over the years, including Ken Russell's 'The Devils' in '71.\n\nAside from different businesses inhabiting the storefronts, the street hasn't changed much at all architecturally. Traffic circles have recently replaced lights from this point south along the Vassar street front; sitting on the bench, I noticed there were apparently still locals who have little idea how to negotiate these obstacles. Called Carol, with whom I'm sure I attended a movie or two here while in high school, had a fine conversation. I'd just seen Betsy and Emily, two dear Vassar friends, the night before so the nostalgic convergence at this particular bench was wonderfully intense.\n\nHappy Glen left his wallet.\n\n* My 3rd grade teacher was Mrs. Fratz, one of the two best instructors of my youth (the other, in 5th grade, was the beautifully named, hard smoking Sonia Brousalian). Mrs. Fratz (I remember \"Mrs.\", though I'm not sure) was overtly unattractive, looking very much like Max Patkin, the erstwhile Clown Prince of Baseball, with the added indignity of having severe elephantiasis in both lower legs. But what a teacher! Wonderful temperament combined with pushing this bunch of eight-year olds well beyond our supposed limits. I specifically recall learning 8th grade math, algebra, in her 3rd grade class. She retired during my senior year in High School, 1972, and apparently I wasn't the only one with fond appreciation for her toil, as our class gave her a nice retirement party. Thanks, Mrs. Fratz. Speaking of that gaggle of imps, if Martin Winn or Ronald May ever reads this, give a mail; always curious how you fared.\n\nMonday, October 05, 2009\n\nLucio Capece/Radu Malfatti - berlinerstrasse 20 (b-boim)\n\nI remain way, way behind in my grasp of everything Malfatti's been up to in recent years, but I think it's safe to say that, broadly speaking, this duo doesn't sound un-Malfatti-ish. The silences, though present, are of shorter duration than is found in much of what I've heard and the ancillary sounds--here, all manner of clicks and rustles--are also more in evidence. At heart, though, are the paired, quiet, lengthy breathlike tones from trombone and bass clarinet (a luscious enough sound marriage in any case). That dissolving of the borders between structure and pure sound seems to me, in part, to be what Malfatti's about anyway and this is a fantastic example of same. One's mind flits back and forth between these concepts; as soon as I find myself wallowing in the lush depths of Capece's bass clarinet, frosted by the trombone, I flash back to the layered structure that would be there regardless of the specific sound source and find that fascinating enough for me to forget the exact sounds involved. There's an utterly lovely sequence near the end where Malfatti taps a cadence with his fingertips on the trombone over a low, burred tone from Capece that's worth the price of admission. For all the glacial pace, one's brain is constantly active, slipping from one mode to another, maybe once in a while attaining some kind of illusory balance. Beautiful recording.\n\nShould soon (?) be available stateside via erstdist?\n\nGreen Blossoms - Whiskey Leaves (digitalis)\n\nMuch of Anthony Guerra's work in recent years has trended toward the lush and melodic, often very attractively so. Here, as Green Blossoms, in collaboration with his partner Aiko Noga, he pushes even further in that direction, the pair compiling a set of dreamy songs over a mix of electronics and guitar-generated tones that range from delightful whimsy to gauzy evocations that all but evaporate. There are a couple of tracks that tilt too far toward the folky/poppy/woozy for my taste but there are also a couple, \"Hana-Akari\" and the title piece, that are just gorgeous tunes, catchy little memes that linger in the brain.

Add to this the all too rare, in this music, timbre of the french horn, beautifully deployed here by Guthrie, and you have a delicious prospect from the get-go. And then they construct this utterly captivating performance that wends its way through numerous neighborhoods, each of interest, almost never flagging over its 40 minutes. There's a point about halfway through where Gomberg adopts an almost church-organ kind of sound opposite Kamerman's jangling metal that's fantastic and when Guthrie plants long, burred tones in the midst, transcendent.

The Power to Choose -\u00a0 Since an independent agent represents various companies, it's in their best interest to shop around for the best policy to meet the customer's needs.\u00a0 A captive agent (an agency that only uses one insurance company) has only one choice and will do its best to sell you that company, irregardless of whether it's the best for you.\u00a0As an Independent, we will find the coverage that is best for you.\n 2. You Make a Difference -\u00a0 Insurance companies like any other business are in existence to make money.\u00a0 Rates are constantly adjusted up or down to reflect changes in the economy or to offset large disasters.\u00a0 A good independent agent searches for the best rates that fit the needs of his customers.\u00a0 What happens behind the scenes is that if one insurance carrier is not selling any policies, they'll ask its agents why.\u00a0 If their rates are higher than their competitors, they'll be forced to reduce them or lose money.\u00a0 So by shopping with an independent agent, you help to keep rates lower and make the industry more competitive.\n 3. Personal Plans - Companies that use captive agents usually try to sell package policies and offer discounts to encourage customers to buy everything from them.\u00a0 In the past, customers who wanted \"bundles\" had to use a captive agent.\u00a0 So you may have paid more for your home than was fair, but it saved you money on your car insurance so you went with it.\u00a0In recent years, companies that use independents have entered this game and it has made the insurance industry much more competitive.\u00a0 You can now enjoy the savings of a bundle with most companies and some even offer it even if the other policies are not with them.\u00a0 For example, you could have your car insurance with one company and your home insured with another and still receive a discount.\u00a0 Once again, this means more choices for the consumer, more competition between the companies, and helps to keep the premiums lower.\n 4. Personal Service - By using an independent agent, you are able to speak with an actual person who most likely lives and shops in your community.\u00a0 They know the neighborhood and your neighbors.\u00a0 When you have a problem, you're able to speak with an agent\u00a0face-to-face rather than over the telephone with a person who could be halfway around the world", "base_doc": " We were proud of our technological prowess and of the companies that were at the forefront.\n\nToday it's not so simple. Our tech companies have a trust problem.\n\nOver the years they've brought it on themselves. Google tested privacy tolerance when it introduced Gmail\u2014with ads relating to the content of your messages. (It doesn't seem to matter that software algorithms, not people, scan your mail.)\n\nThen a team of researchers discovered that when you synced your iPhone, your computer downloaded a log of your geographical movements, in a form accessible with simple commands. (Apple quickly revised its software.) When Barnes & Noble understated the weight of its Nook e-reader in 2010 or overstated the resolution of the Nook in 2011, suddenly even product specs could no longer be trusted.\n\nNext came news about the National Security Agency and its collection of e-mail correspondence, chat transcripts and other data from Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Apple and others. Those companies admit to complying with the occasional warrant for individuals' data, but they strenuously deny providing the nsa with bigger sets of data. Do you think that makes the news any easier to take?\n\nOf course not. We're human. We look for patterns. Each new headline further shakes our trust in the whole system.\n\nThese days tech companies make efforts to respect, or at least to humor, the public's alarm. In the latest iPhone software, for example, Apple has provided an almost hilariously complete set of on/off switches, one for every app that might want access to your location information.\n\nBut it may be too late for that. These companies' products are impossibly complex. There's no way for an individual to verify that software does exactly what we think it does. How do we know those iOS 7 switches do anything at all?\n\nEvery time a company slips up, we can only assume that it is just the tip of the iceberg. It may take years for these companies to regain our trust.\n\nBut this \u201cI don't trust them anymore\u201d thing sounds distinctly familiar. And it isn't specific to tech companies.

In November 2024, the General Education Union (AOb) and Dutch Federation of Trade Unions (FNV) organized demonstrations against the cuts in Utrecht, and after these were cancelled due to security concerns, in The Hague on November 25th. University administrators argued the cuts would damage the Netherlands' position as a knowledge economy and research hub.\nA particular point of contention was the policy to reduce international student numbers through stricter language requirements and higher tuition fees. Critics, including the Province of Limburg, argued this would disproportionately affect universities in border regions that rely heavily on international cooperation. The PVV party advocated for even deeper cuts, particularly targeting university support staff and English-language programs.\n\n\n== Cabinet type ==\nThe coalition parties agreed to form an<|endoftext|>Improvement in son's disability a lift to McGehee\n\nImprovement in son's disability a lift to McGehee\n\nImprovement in son's disability a lift to McGehee\nMILWAUKEE -- Casey McGehee sits holding his 15-month-old daughter in one arm and a Starbucks coffee in his right hand.

Though she understood his reaction she was content not to comment further. As they moved along the mine itself came into view and Kairos' eyes enlarged once more. The darkness teeming in this place became obvious as well. \"Hm, seems like it's gonna be pretty tough, maybe. Let's clear it out before they catch up~\" she said her Keyblade coming to her hand. The small darkness was piling out of the opening of the mine, even before they reached it properly. The mine shaft itself would be one which required both of them to work fairly hard to clear it completely. Half of the ones that escaped immediately aimed to swarm this pair of individuals, while Kairos herself understood there had to be a much greater cause of the darkness within this place. Instead of relying on magic for this swarm, Kairos' body spun around in a circle her Keyblade, cleaving through the masses around her, dispelling the weakest of them with nothing but a single stroke. It'd been quite a while since she'd allowed herself to rely on her skill with this weapon, so she thought to enjoy it, and she did. The entire time she slashed away at this darkness the girl had a huge and genuine smile upon her face.\n\n 7. #27\n Nothing was said by Yuri as he entered the mine. He was very alert, honing in on dark creatures as they materialized and keeping track of those which weren't struck down by Kairos. His own Keyblade appeared once more. Instead of attacking directly with it or casting a spell at range, he threw it into the shadows. Yuri's Keyblade spun as it cut through the air, coating itself in additional poison magic before striking the first target. Following this first moment of impact, it continued bouncing around and striking multiple foes one after another. After the Keyblade made contact with about seven enemies, it made its way back to Yuri, who was becoming surrounded. Now though, he had his weapon in hand to defend himself... with a strong offensive maneuver. Yuri slammed his Keyblade into the ground while it retained its poison coating, producing a burst of poison around him to affect his potential attackers. The moment the first wave struck, a second followed, and the surrounding creatures of Darkness faded. \"Huff... I'm blaming you for all of this when we're done,\" he said in passing to Kairos. Still, he continued moving forward to whatever obstacles were in the Dwarfs' way.\n\n 8. #28\n \"I think you're mispronouncing thanking~\" Kairos chimed as she continued to move about. Her first slashes seemed to make contact well enough she mowed down several enemies even as Yuri's Keyblade flew past her. She turned her body easily past the swipe of a creatures claws only to flip over her hand against the ground for a second. \"Gravity!\" this magic cast directly from her, seemed to bind everything to the ground around her as she flipped away, as she righted herself in time to throw her Keyblade out, covered in darkness to combat several others. This room would be cleared with great ease and everything around her dissipated by the time it was officially good to move on. \"So what? More ice cream? I'm cool with that... I missed out yesterday anyways~\" she chimed as they moved forward. Their clearance here, would take them to the back. This was obviously where the dwarfs normally worked. The tunnel itself seemed to just end, but after the horde of darkness they'd faced to get here all that was left was a big body. But it was way bigger than any they'd encountered before this point. A gentle whistle would leave Kairos' mouth as she laid eyes on this one. \"That's a biggun'~\" she mused happily. It was a lot to take on, she wondered if it was even properly damagable by normal means.\n\n 9. #29\n \"I said what I meant. All the flavors in the shop couldn't save you from what you're gonna get!\" the boy proclaimed. Whenever they made it back home, Kairos was certain to receive a stern complaining from the lad with dual-colored hair about the annoyance of this experience, and no amount of brain freeze could stop him from delivering. Speaking of delivering, it seemed someone had dropped off a very large... or rather, a very massive package to the mines this day. Yuri had seen his fair share of Darkness, even in this form. However, he'd never been warned that they came in such proportions as this hulking tub of lard. Following the observation of Kairos, Yuri also whistled and gawked at the creature. \"Great big ol' biggun. Big ol' round, great big planetary, great big ol'...\" His statement trailed on along a list of repeated claims that shifted only slightly from one to the next, until he settled on a singular thing which described this monstrosity with perfect accuracy. \"That guy's really fat. He looks like that one master's butt,\" he said. Apparently, the young Keyblade wielder Yuri had some fascination with posteriors of varying types, but he was quick to move on to the next clause. \"Up-smash?\" he asked of the girl next to him in reference to a combination assault.\n\n 10. #30\n \"Oooh~ I'm shaking in my boots~\" said Kairos about what was apparently to be a verbal thrashing she'd receive regardless of the bribe she presented. If such a thing were going to happen irrespective of her potential actions, she supposed there was no need to be overindulgent with her ice cream purchase. Meanwhile her own observation of this great darkness, was one which paled in comparison to one such as Yuri. His explanation of the darkness was something for the ages, and Kairos was absolutely dying of laughter before he went on to compare it to some butt she hadn't witnessed. She had no idea what this lad's fascination with bottoms was but it caused her to sigh just a bit. \"Still don't think I'm old enough to know the sorts of things you think about in your own head...\" she mused moving right along though, there was the comment about the 'Up-smash' which was something they'd done before with these sorts of darkness but never one of this massive proportion. \"Fine fine, might need a Wombo-combo too~\" she said with almost song like quality, still retaining the smile on her face as she produced her Keyblade within her hand once more. The girl's body began to move once again, with incredible speed around this creature before she launched herself spinning and twisting into the air above it. \"Magnega!\" this created a vortex of strong magenetic force in Keyblade pulling even this large creature up towards herself as she aimed her Keyblade down upon his head. This would clear the ground beneath the creature leaving it's weak spot open to the second half of this attack.\n\nPage 3 of 5 FirstFirst 12345 LastLast\n\nPosting Permissions\n\n \u2022 You may not post new threads\n \u2022 You may not post replies\n \u2022 You may not post attachments\n \u2022 You may not edit your posts<|endoftext|>\nNEWTON, Ask A Scientist!\nName: Yvonne\nStatus: Student\nGrade: 9-12\nLocation: DE\nCountry: United States\nDate: October 2006\n\nWhy are anaerobes unable to reproduce in the presence of oxygen?

His explanation of the darkness was something for the ages, and Kairos was absolutely dying of laughter before he went on to compare it to some butt she hadn't witnessed. She had no idea what this lad's fascination with bottoms was but it caused her to sigh just a bit. \"Still don't think I'm old enough to know the sorts of things you think about in your own head...\" she mused moving right along though, there was the comment about the 'Up-smash' which was something they'd done before with these sorts of darkness but never one of this massive proportion. \"Fine fine, might need a Wombo-combo too~\" she said with almost song like quality, still retaining the smile on her face as she produced her Keyblade within her hand once more. The girl's body began to move once again, with incredible speed around this creature before she launched herself spinning and twisting into the air above it. \"Magnega!\" this created a vortex of strong magenetic force in Keyblade pulling even this large creature up towards herself as she aimed her Keyblade down upon his head. This would clear the ground beneath the creature leaving it's weak spot open to the second half of this attack.\n\nPage 3 of 5 FirstFirst 12345 LastLast\n\nPosting Permissions\n\n \u2022 You may not post new threads\n \u2022 You may not post replies\n \u2022 You may not post attachments\n \u2022 You may not edit your posts<|endoftext|>\nNEWTON, Ask A Scientist!\nName: Yvonne\nStatus: Student\nGrade: 9-12\nLocation: DE\nCountry: United States\nDate: October 2006\n\nWhy are anaerobes unable to reproduce in the presence of oxygen? Why will they die?\n\nOxygen breaks down into what are known as free radicals which are toxic to all cells. Organisms that live in an oxygen atmosphere have enzymes that can turn the free radicals into something less toxic. Anaerobes don't have these enzymes and are killed by the free radicals.\n\n\nExcellent question!\n\nOne theory is that anaerobes lack enzymes like catalase and super-oxide dismutase which can break down hydrogen peroxide and other toxic oxygen compounds which form during cell metabolism in an aerobic environment.\n\nRon Baker, PhD.\n\nClick here to return to the Molecular Biology Archives\n\n\n\nEducational Programs\nBuilding 360\n9700 S.

However, existing crowdsourcing platforms, such as Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) and CrowdFlower (CF), do not provide direct support for designing interactive microtasks. To design interactive microtasks, especially interactive microtasks with workflows, requesters have to use programming-based approaches, such as Turkit and AMT SDKs. However, the need of programming skills sets a significant threshold for many requesters.\n\n\nTo lower the barrier of entry for designing and deploying interactive microtasks with workflows, we developed ReTool, a web-based tool that simplifies the process by applying \u201cProgramming by Demonstration\u201d (PbD) concept. In our context, PbD refers to the mechanism by which requesters design interactive microtasks with workflows by giving an example of how the tasks can be completed.\n\nWorking with ReTool, a requester can design and publish microtasks following the four main steps:\n\n \u2022 Project Creation: The requester creates a project and uploads a piece of sample content to be crowdsourced.\n \u2022 Microtask and Workflow Generation: Depending on the type (text or image) of the sample content, a content specific workspace is generated. The requester then performs a sequence of interactions (e.g. tapping-and-dragging, clicking, etc.) on the content within the workspace. The interactions are recorded and analyzed to generate interactive microtasks with workflows.\n \u2022 Previewing Microtask Interface & Workflow: The requester can preview microtasks and workflows, edit instructions and other properties (e.g. worker number), add verification tasks and advanced workflows (conditional and looping workflow) at this step.\n \u2022 Microtask Publication: The requester uploads all content to be crowdsourced and receives a URL link for accessing available microtasks. The link can published to crowdsourcing marketplaces or social network platforms.\n\nWe conducted a user study to find out how potential requesters with varying programming skills use ReTool. We compared ReTool with a lower bound baseline, MTurk online design tool, as an alternative approach. We recruited 14 participants from different university faculties, taught them what is crowdsourcing and how to design microtasks using both tools. We then asked them to complete three design tasks. The results show that ReTool is able to help not only programmers, but also non-programmers and new crowdsourcers to design complex microtasks and workflows in a fairly short time.\n\nFor more details, please see our full paper ReTool: Interactive Microtask and Workflow Design through Demonstration published at CHI 2017.\n\nChen Chen, National University of Singapore\n\nXiaojun Meng, National University of Singapore\n\nShengdong Zhao, National University of Singapore\n\nMorten Fjeld, Chalmers University of Technology\n\nCrowdCamp Report: Situated Crowdsourced Access\n\nNavigating through streets and within buildings might seem like a trivial activity, however, its often a challenge for people with visual impairment. Over the last few years, innovation in the space of sensors, devices and smartphone apps have attempted to improve universal access and make navigation easier. However, the technology is not there yet.\n\nCurrent approaches still incur concerns about safety \u2013 unexpected danger from construction or vehicle placement can hurt a user and could have used real-time notifications or help. For example, a visually impaired person uses white cane as a primary mobility tool. This helps in keeping track of objects that are hindrances in the path he is taking. There might be some special situations like heavy hanging objects or objects that are protruding from the wall (can be artistic displays, etc) that cannot be tracked by the white cane but can cause severe head injury if not taken care of. Understanding these aspects are beyond sensor\u2019s limitations, but easy for humans to comprehend.\n\nIn this project, we designed an approach to help address some of these problems by adding humans in the loop as sensors and actors to assist with accessibility questions/problems. For example, in the figure below, if a user (green) has a to go to a coffee shop (A or B), she can quickly query the route and can use the location based services like Twitter, etc., crowdsourcing approaches where crowd are the people (orange) in neighborhood who can help her by notifying about a problem if it exists. This can help inform the user\u2019s decision making process, and the navigation system\u2019s path recommendation.\n\nSample route map\nSample route map\n\nThe approach can be implemented using the workflow architecture shown below:\n\nWorkflow architecture of the proposed set up\nWorkflow architecture of the proposed set up\n\nIn this approach, an end user can make a request by setting abilities preferences with respect to time, cost, location, and more. The request can then be broadcasted to the people or volunteers in the neighborhood. The volunteers can then respond, providing the system with updated information about the situation with a click of a button. To create this system, we envisioned the possibility of using Twitter or a custom app.\n\nTwitter Approach: Twitter being a very popular social media has attracted so many users who can help others in their area of location without even making a request to the volunteer or another user. In order to first understand this we have to get an idea if the user base in a given area is bigger and there are sufficient tweets from a given region. We considered Pittsburgh as our point of interest and we calculated the average frequency of tweets. As shown below, on an average there is atleast one tweet for every 12 seconds. Hence, reflecting a promising outcome.\n\nTweets on average\nTweets on average\n\nCustom Application: As a part of brainstorming and prototyping process, we also developed a homescreen app by extending the concept of Twitch Crowdsourcing. This lets users provide and answer just by unlocking their phone. One particular use-case of this app is shown below. If a visually impaired user (VU) has a question about the presence of curb ramp near-by or the number of steps, this request will be visible to the people in the location of VU\u2019s interest where they can make a binary decision by simply checking their mobile phones. This makes the entire experience seamless with minimal cognitive load.\n\nScreenshot of unlock screen application\nScreenshot of unlock screen application\n\nWe believe that by using situated crowdsourcing, we can overcome the limitations of current sensor technology and real-world deployment, and better empower people with visual disabilities to navigate through buildings or cities more independently.\n\n[1] Rajan Vaish, Keith Wyngarden, Jingshu Chen, Brandon Cheung, and Michael S.

It is a new form of search and problem solving scheme that involves the collaboration among a potentially large number of voluntary Web users.\u00a0The term \u201chuman flesh,\u201d an unfortunately bad translation from its Chinese name, refers to the human empowerment (in fact, crowd-powered search is a more appropriate English name). HFS has seen tremendous growth since its inception in 2001 (Figure 1). Figure1_updatedFigure 1.

HFS presents a valuable test-bed for scientists to validate existing and new theories in social computing, sociology, behavioral sciences, and so forth. Based on a comprehensive dataset of HFS episodes collected from participants\u2019 discussion on the Internet, we performed a series of empirical studies, focusing on the scope of HFS activities, the patterns of HFS crowd collaboration process, and the unique characteristics and dynamics of HFS participant networks. More results of the\u00a0analysis of HFS participant networks can be found in two papers published in 2010 and 2012 (Additional readings 1 and 2).

In our context, PbD refers to the mechanism by which requesters design interactive microtasks with workflows by giving an example of how the tasks can be completed.\n\nWorking with ReTool, a requester can design and publish microtasks following the four main steps:\n\n \u2022 Project Creation: The requester creates a project and uploads a piece of sample content to be crowdsourced.\n \u2022 Microtask and Workflow Generation: Depending on the type (text or image) of the sample content, a content specific workspace is generated. The requester then performs a sequence of interactions (e.g. tapping-and-dragging, clicking, etc.) on the content within the workspace. The interactions are recorded and analyzed to generate interactive microtasks with workflows.\n \u2022 Previewing Microtask Interface & Workflow: The requester can preview microtasks and workflows, edit instructions and other properties (e.g. worker number), add verification tasks and advanced workflows (conditional and looping workflow) at this step.\n \u2022 Microtask Publication: The requester uploads all content to be crowdsourced and receives a URL link for accessing available microtasks. The link can published to crowdsourcing marketplaces or social network platforms.\n\nWe conducted a user study to find out how potential requesters with varying programming skills use ReTool. We compared ReTool with a lower bound baseline, MTurk online design tool, as an alternative approach. We recruited 14 participants from different university faculties, taught them what is crowdsourcing and how to design microtasks using both tools. We then asked them to complete three design tasks. The results show that ReTool is able to help not only programmers, but also non-programmers and new crowdsourcers to design complex microtasks and workflows in a fairly short time.\n\nFor more details, please see our full paper ReTool: Interactive Microtask and Workflow Design through Demonstration published at CHI 2017.\n\nChen Chen, National University of Singapore\n\nXiaojun Meng, National University of Singapore\n\nShengdong Zhao, National University of Singapore\n\nMorten Fjeld, Chalmers University of Technology\n\nCrowdCamp Report: Situated Crowdsourced Access\n\nNavigating through streets and within buildings might seem like a trivial activity, however, its often a challenge for people with visual impairment. Over the last few years, innovation in the space of sensors, devices and smartphone apps have attempted to improve universal access and make navigation easier. However, the technology is not there yet.\n\nCurrent approaches still incur concerns about safety \u2013 unexpected danger from construction or vehicle placement can hurt a user and could have used real-time notifications or help. For example, a visually impaired person uses white cane as a primary mobility tool. This helps in keeping track of objects that are hindrances in the path he is taking. There might be some special situations like heavy hanging objects or objects that are protruding from the wall (can be artistic displays, etc) that cannot be tracked by the white cane but can cause severe head injury if not taken care of. Understanding these aspects are beyond sensor\u2019s limitations, but easy for humans to comprehend.\n\nIn this project, we designed an approach to help address some of these problems by adding humans in the loop as sensors and actors to assist with accessibility questions/problems. For example, in the figure below, if a user (green) has a to go to a coffee shop (A or B), she can quickly query the route and can use the location based services like Twitter, etc., crowdsourcing approaches where crowd are the people (orange) in neighborhood who can help her by notifying about a problem if it exists. This can help inform the user\u2019s decision making process, and the navigation system\u2019s path recommendation.\n\nSample route map\nSample route map\n\nThe approach can be implemented using the workflow architecture shown below:\n\nWorkflow architecture of the proposed set up\nWorkflow architecture of the proposed set up\n\nIn this approach, an end user can make a request by setting abilities preferences with respect to time, cost, location, and more. The request can then be broadcasted to the people or volunteers in the neighborhood. The volunteers can then respond, providing the system with updated information about the situation with a click of a button. To create this system, we envisioned the possibility of using Twitter or a custom app.\n\nTwitter Approach: Twitter being a very popular social media has attracted so many users who can help others in their area of location without even making a request to the volunteer or another user. In order to first understand this we have to get an idea if the user base in a given area is bigger and there are sufficient tweets from a given region. We considered Pittsburgh as our point of interest and we calculated the average frequency of tweets. As shown below, on an average there is atleast one tweet for every 12 seconds. Hence, reflecting a promising outcome.\n\nTweets on average\nTweets on average\n\nCustom Application: As a part of brainstorming and prototyping process, we also developed a homescreen app by extending the concept of Twitch Crowdsourcing. This lets users provide and answer just by unlocking their phone. One particular use-case of this app is shown below. If a visually impaired user (VU) has a question about the presence of curb ramp near-by or the number of steps, this request will be visible to the people in the location of VU\u2019s interest where they can make a binary decision by simply checking their mobile phones. This makes the entire experience seamless with minimal cognitive load.\n\nScreenshot of unlock screen application\nScreenshot of unlock screen application\n\nWe believe that by using situated crowdsourcing, we can overcome the limitations of current sensor technology and real-world deployment, and better empower people with visual disabilities to navigate through buildings or cities more independently.\n\n[1] Rajan Vaish, Keith Wyngarden, Jingshu Chen, Brandon Cheung, and Michael S.

It is a new form of search and problem solving scheme that involves the collaboration among a potentially large number of voluntary Web users.\u00a0The term \u201chuman flesh,\u201d an unfortunately bad translation from its Chinese name, refers to the human empowerment (in fact, crowd-powered search is a more appropriate English name). HFS has seen tremendous growth since its inception in 2001 (Figure 1). Figure1_updatedFigure 1. (a) Types of HFS episodes, and (b) evolution of HFS episodes based on social desirability HFS has been a unique Web phenomenon for just over 10\u00a0years. HFS presents a valuable test-bed for scientists to validate existing and new theories in social computing, sociology, behavioral sciences, and so forth. Based on a comprehensive dataset of HFS episodes collected from participants\u2019 discussion on the Internet, we performed a series of empirical studies, focusing on the scope of HFS activities, the patterns of HFS crowd collaboration process, and the unique characteristics and dynamics of HFS participant networks. More results of the\u00a0analysis of HFS participant networks can be found in two papers published in 2010 and 2012 (Additional readings 1 and 2). In this paper, a survey of HFS participants was conducted to provide an in-depth understanding of the HFS community and various factors that motivate these participants to contribute. The survey results\u00a0shed light on the in-depth understanding of HFS participants and people involved in the crowdsourcing systems.\u00a0Most participants voluntarily contribute to HFS, without expectation of money rewards (either real-world or virtual world money). The findings indicate great potential for researchers to explore how to design a more effective and efficient crowdsourcing system, and how to better utilize this power of the crowds for social goods, solve complex task-solving problems, and even for business purposes like marketing and management.

It consists of a series of separate bones, the vertebrae, separated by pads of fibrocartilage called the intervertebral disks (Fig. 6.8). The vertebral column is located in the middorsal region and forms the vertical axis. The skull rests on the superior end of the vertebral column, which also supports the rib cage and serves as a point of attachment for the pelvic girdle. The vertebral column also protects the spinal cord, which passes through a vertebral canal formed by the vertebrae. The vertebrae are named according to their location: seven cervical (neck) vertebrae, twelve thoracic (chest) vertebrae, five lumbar (lower back) vertebrae, five sacral vertebrae fused to form the sacrum, and three to five coccygeal vertebrae fused into one coccyx.\nWhen viewed from the side, the vertebral column has four normal curvatures, named for their location (Fig. 6.8). The cervical and lumbar curvatures are convex anteriorly, and the thoracic and sacral curvatures are concave anteriorly. In the fetus, the vertebral column has but one curve, and it is concave anteriorly. The cervical curve develops three to four months after birth, when the child begins to hold the head up. The lumbar curvature develops when a child begins to stand and walk, around one year of age. The curvatures of the vertebral column provide more support than a straight column would, and they also provide the balance needed to walk upright.\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The curvatures of the vertebral column are subject to abnormalities. An abnormally exaggerated lumbar curvature is called lordosis, or \u201cswayback.\u201d People who are balancing a heavy midsection, such as pregnant women or men with \u201cpotbellies,\u201d may have swayback.\nAn increased roundness of the thoracic curvature is kyphosis, or \u201chunchback.\u201d This abnormality sometimes develops in older people. An abnormal lateral (side-to-side) curvature is called scoliosis. Occurring most often in the thoracic region, scoliosis is usually first seen during late childhood.\nCurvatures of the spine\nFigure 6.8 Curvatures of the spine. The vertebrae are named for their location in the body. Note the presence of the coccyx, also called the tailbone.\nIntervertebral Disks\nThe fibrocartilaginous intervertebral disks located between the vertebrae act as a cushion. They prevent the vertebrae from grinding against one another and absorb shock caused by such movements as running, jumping, and even walking. The disks also allow motion between the vertebrae so that a person can bend forward, backward, and from side to side. Unfortunately, these disks become weakened with age, and can slip or even rupture (called a herniated disk). A damaged disk pressing against the spinal cord or the spinal nerves causes pain. Such a disk may need to be removed surgically. If a disk is removed, the vertebrae are fused together, limiting the body\u2019s flexibility.\n\nFigure 6.9a shows that a typical vertebra has an anteriorly placed body and a posteriorly placed vertebral arch. The vertebral arch forms the wall of a vertebral foramen (pl., foramina). The foramina become a canal through which the spinal cord passes. The vertebral spinous process (spine) occurs where two thin plates of bone called laminae meet. A transverse process is located where a pedicle joins a lamina. These processes serve for the attachment of muscles and ligaments. Articular processes (superior and inferior) serve for the joining of vertebrae. The vertebrae have regional differences. For example, as the vertebral column descends, the bodies get bigger and are better able to carry more weight. In the cervical region, the spines are short and tend to have a split, or bifurcation. The thoracic spines are long and slender and project downward.\nFigure 6.9 Vertebrae. a. A typical vertebra in articular position. The vertebral canal where the spinal cord is found is formed by adjacent vertebral foramina. b. Atlas and axis, showing how they articulate with one another. The odontoid process of the axis is the pivot around which the atlas turns, as when the head is shaken \u201cno.\u201d\nThe lumbar spines are massive and square and project posteriorly. The transverse processes of thoracic vertebrae have articular facets for connecting to ribs.\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Atlas and Axis The first two cervical vertebrae are not typical\n(Fig. 6.9b). The atlas supports and balances the head. It has two depressions that articulate with the occipital condyles, allowing movement of the head forward and back. The axis has an odontoid process (also called the dens) that projects into the ring of the atlas. When the head moves from side to side, the atlas pivots around the odontoid process.\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sacrum and Coccyx The five sacral vertebrae are fused to form the sacrum. The sacrum articulates with the pelvic girdle and forms the posterior wall of the pelvic cavity. The coccyx, or tailbone, is the last part of the vertebral column. It is formed from a fusion of three to five vertebrae.\n\nThe Rib Cage\n\nThe rib cage (Fig. 6.10), sometimes called the thoracic cage, is composed of the thoracic vertebrae, ribs and associated cartilages, and sternum. The rib cage demonstrates how the skeleton is protective but also flexible. The rib cage protects the heart and lungs; yet it swings outward and upward upon inspiration and then downward and inward upon expiration. The rib cage also provides support for the bones of the pectoral girdle.\n\nThe Ribs\nThere are twelve pairs of ribs. All twelve pairs connect directly to the thoracic vertebrae in the back. After connecting with thoracic vertebrae, each rib first curves outward and then forward and downward. A rib articulates with the body of one vertebra and the transverse processes of two adjoining thoracic vertebra (called facet for tubercle of rib) (see Fig. 6.9). The upper seven pairs of ribs connect directly to the sternum by means of costal cartilages. These are called the \u201ctrue ribs,\u201d or the vertebrosternal ribs. The next three pairs of ribs are called the \u201cfalse ribs,\u201d or vertebrochondral ribs, because they attach to the sternum by means of a common cartilage. The last two pairs are called \u201cfloating ribs,\u201d or vertebral ribs, because they do not attach to the sternum at all.\nThe Sternum\nThe sternum, or breastbone, is a flat bone that has the shape of a blade. The sternum, along with the ribs, helps protect the heart and lungs. During surgery the sternum may be split to allow access to the organs of the thoracic cavity. The sternum is composed of three bones that fuse during fetal development. These bones are the manubrium, the body, and the xiphoid process. The manubrium is the superior portion of the sternum. The body is the middle and largest part of the sternum, and the xiphoid process is the inferior and smallest portion of the sternum. The manubrium joins with the body of the sternum at an angle. This joint is an important anatomical landmark because it occurs at the level of the second rib, and therefore allows the ribs to be counted. Counting the ribs is sometimes done to determine where the apex of the heart is located-usually between the fifth and sixth ribs. The manubrium articulates with the costal cartilages of the first and second ribs; the body articulates costal cartilages of the second through tenth ribs; and the xiphoid process doesn\u2019t articulate with any ribs. The xiphoid process is the third part of the sternum. Composed of hyaline cartilage in the child, it becomes ossified in the adult. The variably shaped xiphoid process serves as an attachment site for the diaphragm, which separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity.\nThe rib cage\nFigure 6.10 The rib cage.

It consists of a series of separate bones, the vertebrae, separated by pads of fibrocartilage called the intervertebral disks (Fig. 6.8). The vertebral column is located in the middorsal region and forms the vertical axis. The skull rests on the superior end of the vertebral column, which also supports the rib cage and serves as a point of attachment for the pelvic girdle. The vertebral column also protects the spinal cord, which passes through a vertebral canal formed by the vertebrae. The vertebrae are named according to their location: seven cervical (neck) vertebrae, twelve thoracic (chest) vertebrae, five lumbar (lower back) vertebrae, five sacral vertebrae fused to form the sacrum, and three to five coccygeal vertebrae fused into one coccyx.\nWhen viewed from the side, the vertebral column has four normal curvatures, named for their location (Fig. 6.8). The cervical and lumbar curvatures are convex anteriorly, and the thoracic and sacral curvatures are concave anteriorly. In the fetus, the vertebral column has but one curve, and it is concave anteriorly. The cervical curve develops three to four months after birth, when the child begins to hold the head up. The lumbar curvature develops when a child begins to stand and walk, around one year of age. The curvatures of the vertebral column provide more support than a straight column would, and they also provide the balance needed to walk upright.\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The curvatures of the vertebral column are subject to abnormalities. An abnormally exaggerated lumbar curvature is called lordosis, or \u201cswayback.\u201d People who are balancing a heavy midsection, such as pregnant women or men with \u201cpotbellies,\u201d may have swayback.\nAn increased roundness of the thoracic curvature is kyphosis, or \u201chunchback.\u201d This abnormality sometimes develops in older people. An abnormal lateral (side-to-side) curvature is called scoliosis. Occurring most often in the thoracic region, scoliosis is usually first seen during late childhood.\nCurvatures of the spine\nFigure 6.8 Curvatures of the spine. The vertebrae are named for their location in the body. Note the presence of the coccyx, also called the tailbone.\nIntervertebral Disks\nThe fibrocartilaginous intervertebral disks located between the vertebrae act as a cushion. They prevent the vertebrae from grinding against one another and absorb shock caused by such movements as running, jumping, and even walking. The disks also allow motion between the vertebrae so that a person can bend forward, backward, and from side to side. Unfortunately, these disks become weakened with age, and can slip or even rupture (called a herniated disk). A damaged disk pressing against the spinal cord or the spinal nerves causes pain. Such a disk may need to be removed surgically. If a disk is removed, the vertebrae are fused together, limiting the body\u2019s flexibility.\n\nFigure 6.9a shows that a typical vertebra has an anteriorly placed body and a posteriorly placed vertebral arch. The vertebral arch forms the wall of a vertebral foramen (pl., foramina). The foramina become a canal through which the spinal cord passes. The vertebral spinous process (spine) occurs where two thin plates of bone called laminae meet. A transverse process is located where a pedicle joins a lamina. These processes serve for the attachment of muscles and ligaments. Articular processes (superior and inferior) serve for the joining of vertebrae. The vertebrae have regional differences. For example, as the vertebral column descends, the bodies get bigger and are better able to carry more weight. In the cervical region, the spines are short and tend to have a split, or bifurcation. The thoracic spines are long and slender and project downward.\nFigure 6.9 Vertebrae. a. A typical vertebra in articular position. The vertebral canal where the spinal cord is found is formed by adjacent vertebral foramina. b. Atlas and axis, showing how they articulate with one another. The odontoid process of the axis is the pivot around which the atlas turns, as when the head is shaken \u201cno.\u201d\nThe lumbar spines are massive and square and project posteriorly. The transverse processes of thoracic vertebrae have articular facets for connecting to ribs.\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Atlas and Axis The first two cervical vertebrae are not typical\n(Fig. 6.9b). The atlas supports and balances the head. It has two depressions that articulate with the occipital condyles, allowing movement of the head forward and back. The axis has an odontoid process (also called the dens) that projects into the ring of the atlas. When the head moves from side to side, the atlas pivots around the odontoid process.\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sacrum and Coccyx The five sacral vertebrae are fused to form the sacrum.

In March 1994 Tony Michael Chalkley was suspected by police officers in the Cambridge Constabulary of involvement in robbery. The view was taken by the Cambridgeshire Regional Crime Squad that it was necessary to place a hidden battery-powered listening and recording device in Tony Michael Chalkley\u2019s home. An application was therefore made to the Chief Constable for the instalment of such a device, which was authorised on 21 June 1994, pursuant to the non-statutory Home Office Guidelines of 1984. In order to install the device, the police decided to arrest Tony Michael Chalkley and his partner in connection with another matter (credit card fraud) and to remove them and their children from their home.<|endoftext|>The Wasted Effort\n\n\u0420\u0435\u0436\u0438\u0441\u0441\u0451\u0440\u044b Muhammed Bozbey\n\n\u0421\u0446\u0435\u043d\u0430\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u044b Muhammed Bozbey\n\n\u041f\u0440\u043e\u0434\u044e\u0441\u0435\u0440\u044b Muhammed Bozbey, HaricAdam Production\n\n\u0416\u0430\u043d\u0440 Drama, Experimental, Documentary, Fiction, Feature, Short\n\n\u041f\u0440\u043e\u0434\u043e\u043b\u0436\u0438\u0442\u0435\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e\u0441\u0442\u044c 00:05:00\n\n\u0421\u0442\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0430 \u0422\u0443\u0440\u0446\u0438\u044f\n\n\nAttila lives alone in a small town and finds a lira while walking on the road.

In the first place, other methods other than a bomb attack could have been used to set the grass thatched hut on fire, so the fact that it was not a bomb used to set the house on fire does not rule out foul play.\n\nCharamba goes on to say that \u201cthere is high probability that ammonium nitrate and tobacco chemicals exploded during the fire\u201d, and that should be expected because the chemicals reacted to the heat caused by the fire which had already started and exploded. Again, that piece of evidence does not rule out foul play.\n\nCharamba reports that a paraffin lamp was recovered close to bags of fertilizer and tobacco chemicals in the gutted thatched hut. Again that can be expected because in the rural areas, many people use paraffin lamps to light up their place. I wonder if the police investigating the case asked the surviving children if the lamp was left on.\n\nInterestingly, the father of the late Christpowers reported that he had been threatened with death for wanting to contest against Didymus Mutasa by Zanu PF officials a few days before the fire gutted the hut. Wasn\u2019t there reason for police to suspect foul play there?\n\nNames of suspects were given, and probably these names include people who had made these threats to Shepherd Maisiri. These people were never questioned.\n\nGiven recorded evidence that Zanu PF senior officials have threatened to kill MDC supporters and sympathizers in the rural areas, there was every reason to suspect foul play, and a police force which has real interest in protecting the people should at least have charged the persons who made threats to Shepherd Maisiri.\n\nThese people still need to be arrested, and questioned why they made such threats and charged accordingly. And to prove beyond down that there is foul play in this case; Central Intelligence officials drive to the homestead in a car with no number plates. This certainly raises eyebrows.\n\nPolice spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Charity Charamba, flanked by Superintendent Andrew Phiri, addresses journalists on the recent Domboshava murders at the Police General Headquarters in Harare\n\nCertainly, there were people at the funeral wake who witnessed this, but police investigating the case never dwelt on this development. I am still asking why? Why? Why? Why? These people drove to the homestead in a car with no registration numbers, knowing that people who abducted MDC supporters in the run-up to the 2008 presidential run-off used similar tactics.\n\nTo make matters worse, Didymus Mutasa lies that Maisiri is a member of Zanu PF, when it is expected that as an aspiring candidate for the constituency in elections that should take place this year; he should also have been investigating who is likely to be challenging him \u2013 that is natural for any politician.\n\nSo Mutasa already knew from intelligence sources; who from the MDC-T primary elections process was likely to contest against him in the coming election.\n\nFor him to turn around and say Maisiri is a Zanu PF member and \u2018his friend\u2019 proves beyond reasonable doubt that he is trying to absolve himself from a crime that he either has a hand in, or which was committed by some of his die hard supporters who are trying to eliminate his rivals.\n\nThat he chose to lie that way shows that Mutasa is aware. The arsonists probably communicated with him and told him that they had done a job for him after setting the hut on fire in which Christpowers was sleeping.\n\nIt is obvious the police did not do their job well, either because of incompetence, or because they were under instruction not to expose Didymus Mutasa.\n\nNot being a legal expert and not being familiar with human rights processes that can be pursued to do justice for the late Christpowers, I will it to those who are appropriately placed to do their part", "base_doc": " some marijuana before the adults get back.\n\nUnfortunately the trio lose themselves in smoking weed and Krug, Francis, and Sadie come back sooner than Justin anticipated. Why is it that characters in horror movies always have to make a moral mistake before being getting tortured and killed? That's certainly a horror movie cliche that needs to die.\n\nWhat follows is horrific. Paige and Mari are taken out to the lake, beaten, and raped. When Krug and his family flee the scene -- they crashed their stolen car in the process -- they find shelter at the nearest house, which just happens to be John and Emma's. And of course its only a matter of time before a barely-breathing Mari crawls up to the house and John and Emma put the pieces together.

Schoett\n\nAbstract: A theory of data abstraction in modular programming is presented that explains why this technique leads to correct programs.\n\nData abstraction allows users and implementers to take different views of a specification: While users may depend on a specification as it is, implementers need not provide program entities that satisfy the specification, but merely a ``representation'' of such entities. This means that the users may be supplied with program entities that do not satisfy the specification, and so it is necessary to explain why their code functions correctly nevertheless.\n\nIt is shown that data abstraction leads to correct programs if the modules of the programs are ``stable'', and it is suggested that programming languages for data abstraction should guarantee stability for their modules. The stability criterion corresponds closely to the intuitive idea of ``limited access'' to encapsulated data types, and to ``representation independence'' properties of the typed lambda-calculus.\n\nThe theory is developed in the general framework of an ``institution'' and uses an abstract notion of ``representation''. Specifically, the institution of partial many-sorted", "perturbation_file": "privacy_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 12970, "pt_loc": 18541811, "pt_shuffle_idx": 163571650, "doc_index_f": 256410943, "doc_index_l": 256410945, "offset_f": 6800, "offset_l": 234, "pt_injection_pos": 2, "pt_window_offset": 32, "pt_injection_len": 154, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [69, 1745, 235]} +{"pt_doc": " the reaction: H + (energy) -> H+ + e(-) ) to translate into a convective collapse process so the solar luminosity can flow out and around the periphery of spots. Basically, the spot blocks normal convective dynamics inside it, so the convective flow - upwelling must be re-directed around it, which then emerges at greater intensity.\n\nThe larger the spot the greater the escaping luminosity and heat discharged.\n\nThis is why the more spots there are in a cycle, the higher the solar irradiance, and the higher the mean global temperature of Earth. (One can get variations up to 0.21 K or more, which was pointed out by Thomas N. Woods in his own lecture Wednesday morning. But this is still significantly lower than the 0.6C = 0.6K increase in global mean temperatures arising from the human-caused greenhouse effect.)\n\nThe claim that \"ALL the planets in our solar system are heating up at exactly the same rate as Earth\" is total nonsense.

The group on the perimeter deserves plenty of credit since the opposition shoots a measly 26.9 percent from three-point territory, but it is the players in the frontcourt that make this defense so stingy. Jerome Jordan, a 7-0 center, is a superb shot blocker and just about everybody should be afraid to drive the lane when Jordan is waiting there. Jordan is more than simply a shot blocker, he has developed into a superb scorer in the paint and spearheads Tulsa\u2019s superb rebounding effort.\n\n\nJordan is not the only frontcourt player who is having a productive campaign. Ray Reese and Bishop Wheatley do not have the size of Jordan, but they are productive players. Reese, a 6-5 senior, does not hang out in the paint too often, but he will knock down some long balls and hit the glass. With Steven Idlet and Sam Mitchell, who are 6-10 and 6-9, ready to come in off the bench, the Golden Hurricane have plenty of depth and talent in the paint.\n\n\nWhy They Can Disappoint:\n\nBecause they have to wait for their big men to get down the floor, Tulsa does not push the tempo. And for a team that does not run, they do commit too many turnovers. Ben Uzoh is a terrific", "base_doc": " much closer to the solar surface than currently supposed)\n\nAs Schatten pointed out - and as we know from the standard (sunspot) theory of (Eugene) Parker, the \"inverse ion hurricane\" represented by a large sunspot enables the basis for the latent energy (embodied in the reaction: H + (energy) -> H+ + e(-) ) to translate into a convective collapse process so the solar luminosity can flow out and around the periphery of spots. Basically, the spot blocks normal convective dynamics inside it, so the convective flow - upwelling must be re-directed around it, which then emerges at greater intensity.\n\nThe larger the spot the greater the escaping luminosity and heat discharged.\n\nThis is why the more spots there are in a cycle, the higher the solar irradiance, and the higher the mean global temperature of Earth. (One can get variations up to 0.21 K or more, which was pointed out by Thomas N. Woods in his own lecture Wednesday morning. But this is still significantly lower than the 0.6C = 0.6K increase in global mean temperatures arising from the human-caused greenhouse effect.)\n\nThe claim that \"ALL the planets in our solar system are heating up at exactly the same rate as Earth\" is total nonsense. This is patently clear on the face of it simply using the inverse square law for radiation: e.g. that the intensity of radiation from a source decreases as the inverse square of the distance. Thus, a planet four times as far away from the Sun as the Earth, would only receive:\n\n(1/4)^2 = 1/16\n\nthe heat energy from the Sun\n\nSo obviously this nonsense is disproven by merely using this basic principle\n\nApart from that, since each planet has a distinct agglomeration of chemicals in its atmosphere, and many may be frozen (for the outer planets, Jupiter, Saturn etc.) it is plain balderdash to insist all planets heat at the same rate.

With more than a million people clamoring for social change this has been the largest protest the country has seen since the military dictatorship which ended in 1985. The Brazilian government has been targeted for hosting a World Cup that has cost the people over 9 billion pounds in taxpayers money while social services remain grossly neglected.\n\nWhat began as a movement against the increase in transport fares has blossomed into a movement angry at both the government\u2019s commercial priorities and belittlement of the country\u2019s immense social inequalities.\n\nIn 2007 FIFA and the Brazilian government promised the entire event to be privately funded.

This is why we need to take a deeper look in that these actions are for the masses, the backbone of football that nobody can discount. As the Confederation\u2019s Cup semi-final is set to start in a few hours, massive actions are expected to kick-off simultaneously to assert democratic rights and in some ways try to save football.\n\nWhat the World Cup has done to Brazil\n\nIt\u2019s strange to think of Brazil rejecting the WC. Many football fans know that Brazil do not only expect to do well in the competition, they expect to win it; all the time. As early as the 1950 World Cup (also hosted by Brazil) they built the Maracana, which remains the largest football stadium on the planet. It\u2019s not so much a football ground as it is a national monument; similar to what the Eiffel Tower is to France.\n\nThey reached the Finals almost unscathed only to face defeat at the hands of Uruguay. This prompted the nation to ponder what caused this defeat as some even turned to racism, blaming the black players as not \u201cBrazilian enough\u201d to win the game. Of course this was decades ago, but the point is that until now, many Brazilians feel almost historically predisposed to win at football. With a mediocre national team, they have found a way to raise the game in another way.\n\nWhile the people say they are angry at the government\u2019s practice of hosting the WC, the tournament itself is has come into question and has rightly positioned FIFA as the organization that has turned the greatest event of the game into a plundering scheme. It is still hard to imagine the cup in the middle of the issue especially in Brazil, a nation that has more or less elevated the game to the grandeur it has today by bagging the most number of championships and setting the standard upon which future winners would be judged.\n\nThis is precisely why it is so important, Brazilians are making an example of the World Cup as something that is so strongly woven into their identity and yet is something they can cast aside if they needed to. The game regarded in Brazil as Jogo Bonito (beautiful game), an art form in itself not only takes a backseat to democratic struggle but needs to conform to the longstanding demands of the people. In a sense they are \u201ctaking back\u201d the World Cup off the pitch.\n\nA combination picture shows demonstrators\n\nThe message of winning the World Cup and protesting the abuses of the government and FIFA is an important example for developing countries. Winning has provided Brazilians with the mentality that on some stages \u00a0they are the better than wealthy nations, they are untouchable. The latter has shown that a demonstration against fare hikes can lead to a re-imagining of an entire chunk of your identity and greater change. Once again the World Cup has indirectly served as a catalyst.\n\nFootball fans, enthusiasts, pundits among others need to take notice and not use this as an excuse to simply criticize Sepp Blatter\u2019s reign at FIFA. This resistance has transcended the game, in that for the game to survive it cannot be subject to corporate interests. The fact that this is the largest protest \u201cdemocratic\u201d Brazil has seen says a lot. It says that Brazil does not differ from the oppression and staggering inequalities felt worldwide.\u00a0It says that Brazil does not differ from the oppression and staggering inequalities felt worldwide. Fitting that it had to come at this time in a country which, as BBC remarked, is poised to practically parallel its history in terms of how its national team fared in the tournament.\n\nDo we want a World Cup?\n\nWithout question, billions of people want to see the World Cup. No doubt many of the protesters are also football fans rooting for their respective clubs, they are not against football which they have clarified many times but this is too much. Many of us need to understand: football for them is not only for arenas, it is for the streets and for everybody as it should be \u2013 not distant from how Pele and Garrincha started playing. FIFA has already stated that\u00a0there is no Plan B and they are determined to push through in Brazil.\n\nI, like many other patiently waited for Brazil 2014, simply cannot recreate or even conceive of the dramatic possibilities in a World Cup. I remember watching a nation like Ghana defeat the United States, the superpower on the biggest stage in South Africa last 2010. Holidays are declared in countries that have a game, busy streets look like ghost towns, stereotypes are shattered, political rivalries put to test on the pitch; the world at a standstill in short. However when the cost is too much, we are reminded that football is the most important of unimportant things as the saying goes.\n\nThis wave of political consciousness is admirable; it shows support for the struggles of the marginalized and an unraveling of sorts of a more progressive social identity. Once again, Brazil is at the forefront of football, this time on the streets. Yes, we do want a World Cup, now we want one that doesn\u2019t rob the people and tear down their homes in the process. Even if it takes millions more to march on the streets.\n\nLeave a comment\n\nFiled under Uncategorized<|endoftext|>Jan Przygodzki was born in 1954 and lives in Kielce, Poland.

Once again the World Cup has indirectly served as a catalyst.\n\nFootball fans, enthusiasts, pundits among others need to take notice and not use this as an excuse to simply criticize Sepp Blatter\u2019s reign at FIFA. This resistance has transcended the game, in that for the game to survive it cannot be subject to corporate interests. The fact that this is the largest protest \u201cdemocratic\u201d Brazil has seen says a lot. It says that Brazil does not differ from the oppression and staggering inequalities felt worldwide.\u00a0It says that Brazil does not differ from the oppression and staggering inequalities felt worldwide. Fitting that it had to come at this time in a country which, as BBC remarked, is poised to practically parallel its history in terms of how its national team fared in the tournament.\n\nDo we want a World Cup?\n\nWithout question, billions of people want to see the World Cup. No doubt many of the protesters are also football fans rooting for their respective clubs, they are not against football which they have clarified many times but this is too much. Many of us need to understand: football for them is not only for arenas, it is for the streets and for everybody as it should be \u2013 not distant from how Pele and Garrincha started playing. FIFA has already stated that\u00a0there is no Plan B and they are determined to push through in Brazil.\n\nI, like many other patiently waited for Brazil 2014, simply cannot recreate or even conceive of the dramatic possibilities in a World Cup. I remember watching a nation like Ghana defeat the United States, the superpower on the biggest stage in South Africa last 2010. Holidays are declared in countries that have a game, busy streets look like ghost towns, stereotypes are shattered, political rivalries put to test on the pitch; the world at a standstill in short. However when the cost is too much, we are reminded that football is the most important of unimportant things as the saying goes.\n\nThis wave of political consciousness is admirable; it shows support for the struggles of the marginalized and an unraveling of sorts of a more progressive social identity. Once again, Brazil is at the forefront of football, this time on the streets. Yes, we do want a World Cup, now we want one that doesn\u2019t rob the people and tear down their homes in the process. Even if it takes millions more to march on the streets.\n\nLeave a comment\n\nFiled under Uncategorized<|endoftext|>The world has lost a brilliant mind, a gift to humanity.\n\nAnd as we pause and reflect on the teachings of Stephen Hawking it is easy to focus on his scientific discoveries, theories and warnings. He detailed his Grand Unified Theory in his groundbreaking, bestseller book \u2018A Brief History of Time\u2019, he studied Black Holes with great fervor and discovered how light travels through them, he spoke adamantly on the topic of our need to leave our resource-poor planet as soon as possible, and he warned of the consequences of the development of AI as we head for, as he so optimistically described it, a mass extinction.\n\nBut his science is only part of his story and is arguably not his greatest schooling for us mere mortals.\n\nStephen Hawking was trapped in a broken body. A shell that was immobilized by Motor Neuron Disorder. He was completely dependent on those around him. And yet he was filled with positivity, with belief, with hope and most importantly, saw value and joy in what he could do rather than focusing on what he couldn\u2019t do. One of his most famous quotes speaks to this notion, \u201cThere should be no boundary to human endeavor. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.\u201d\n\nRadio brands and shows are no different. We are all handcuffed. Limited promo or marketing budgets.

According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, between 80 and 90% of people diagnosed with fibromyalgia are middle-aged women, although it can affect both sexes and people of all ages. Fibromyalgia is a confusing and often misunderstood condition. In the past, people who sought treatment for fibromyalgia symptoms were frequently told that their symptoms were \"all in the head\" and that they did not represent any known disease. However, in recent decades medical studies have proven that fibromyalgia does indeed exist, and that it is estimated to affect between 2% and 6% of people worldwide.\n\nFor people with fibromyalgia, the combination of pain and sleep disturbance is a double-edged sword: the pain makes sleep more difficult and sleep deprivation exacerbates pain. The good news is that reduction in sleep disturbance is usually followed by improvement in pain symptoms. This also highlights the importance of healthy sleep and to find a sleep professional in treating this disease.\n\nMedical researchers have long sought to clarify the association between sleep disturbance and pain. Very little is known but a few key findings indicate that sleep and pain are intricately linked. For example, studies of patients experiencing pain after surgery show disturbed sleep, reduced rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, and a normalization of sleep as recovery proceeds.

Saying that I want to say that I personally appreciate good defence as much as offence (I thought the Ryron Gracie vs. Andre Galvao match from Metamoris I was superb) however, there are different types of defence - and running away isn't one that's pleasing for the spectators eyes. I do agree maybe Cyborg could have done more to chase Schaub down and try to force him to engage but nevertheless, when your opponent enters the mat with no intention of winning, then it's difficult to make an exciting match.\n\nCanadian Bear said...\n\n\"If your opponent is making it difficult for you to win - well what the hell did you expect?\"\n\nYou must have Canadian in you :-) The irony/humour is outstanding.\n\nTroy Beacleay said...\n\nI almost always agree with you Doc, but this time I must disagree. There's a difference between not wanting to fight my fight and simply running away with no interest in fighting at all. I'm not saying he has to play in Cyborg's guard, but he has to play something. The problem is compounded by the fact that this wasn't some amateur tournament. These guys were getting paid, because I subscribed to the broadcast and paid them. If I pay my money, you better fight. If you want to play standup, fine. If you want to play ground, fine. I don't care which. Just try something. I'm not sure if you watched the Brendan Schaub match, but he clearly had no interest in engaging in any facet of a fight whatsoever. That's not going to fly and if they want to keep the Metamoris promotion afloat, they would do well to make sure that nonsense doesn't happen again.\n\nDr. AnnMaria said...\n\nAs far as what someone \"has to do\" I've always believed that they have to play within the rules, no more, no less. If the referee isn't looking, you still can't cheat, it's wrong. On the other hand, if there is not a rule against it, you are allowed to do it. I don't know what the rules are for the Metamoris promotion but since he did not get penalized, I am assuming he didn't break any. Yes he DID make it difficult for his opponent to win. You're saying they should change the rules to make it a more exciting sport for spectators. That is a different point. My point is if you play within the current rules (not some future rules), that is all you are required to do and people who then argue you made it hard for your opponent to win - like that's a bad thing - are pretty funny.\n\nTroy Beacleay said...\n\nActually, he didn't make it difficult for his opponent to win in the slightest. It was a much easier victory than if his opponent had broken a sweat. I don't think there was any dissenting opinion over who won, nor was it close. And while no Metamoris rule was broken, that I'm aware of, it's dishonorable to ask for a fight and then get paid for a fight when you never had any intention of actually fighting in any way. If your mindset is, \"I cannot let this person touch me in any way, anywhere\", perhaps you should have challenged him to chess. If you want to fight, there's going to have to be some contact somewhere, sometime. According to Ralek's recent comments, I think he's in agreement that it was bad for his promotion.\n\nSylver said...\n\nBut he didn't make it difficult to win. As a matter of fact, he gave the win away.\n\nHe made it difficult to fight.\n\nAnd in a fight, fighting is kind of the point, no?\n\nAl B Here said...\n\nIt's nice to see that I wasn't the only one who held the opinion that Schaub was running the entire time. You're right, there was no explicit rule against running for 20 minutes, which is precisely what he did, but it does against the spirit of the competition. It was meant to be a test of skill. Schaub exhibited an ability to occasionally sprawl, yes, but he also spent a considerable amount of time on the \"warning track\" which, as others have pointed out, prevented Cyborg from driving his way to a takedown. If he had actively engaged, I would have a lot of respect for him. He didn't.\n\nAnonymous said...\n\n'Alan who complained that Brendan Schaub's match was \"disrespectful\" and that it was hard for his opponent...'\n\nSchaub was disrespectful. Not in that he made it hard for Cyborg to win, but he refused to engage in a contest - anywhere, on the ground OR standing - when the audience had paid good money to see a competition.<|endoftext|>We gratefully acknowledge support from\nthe Simons Foundation and member institutions.\nFull-text links:\n\n\nCurrent browse context:\n\n\nChange to browse by:\n\nReferences & Citations\n\n\n(what is this?)\n\nPhysics > Plasma Physics\n\nTitle: Estimation of direct laser acceleration in laser wakefield accelerators using particle-in-cell simulations\n\nAbstract: Many current laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) experiments are carried out in a regime where the laser pulse length is on the order of or longer than the wake wavelength and where ionization injection is employed to inject electrons into the wake. In these experiments, the trapped electrons will co-propagate with the longitudinal wakefield and the transverse laser field. In this scenario, the electrons can gain a significant amount of energy from both the direct laser acceleration (DLA) mechanism as well as the usual LWFA mechanism. Particle-in-cell (PIC) codes are frequently used to discern the relative contribution of these two mechanisms.

Saying that I want to say that I personally appreciate good defence as much as offence (I thought the Ryron Gracie vs. Andre Galvao match from Metamoris I was superb) however, there are different types of defence - and running away isn't one that's pleasing for the spectators eyes. I do agree maybe Cyborg could have done more to chase Schaub down and try to force him to engage but nevertheless, when your opponent enters the mat with no intention of winning, then it's difficult to make an exciting match.\n\nCanadian Bear said...\n\n\"If your opponent is making it difficult for you to win - well what the hell did you expect?\"\n\nYou must have Canadian in you :-) The irony/humour is outstanding.\n\nTroy Beacleay said...\n\nI almost always agree with you Doc, but this time I must disagree. There's a difference between not wanting to fight my fight and simply running away with no interest in fighting at all. I'm not saying he has to play in Cyborg's guard, but he has to play something. The problem is compounded by the fact that this wasn't some amateur tournament. These guys were getting paid, because I subscribed to the broadcast and paid them. If I pay my money, you better fight. If you want to play standup, fine. If you want to play ground, fine. I don't care which. Just try something. I'm not sure if you watched the Brendan Schaub match, but he clearly had no interest in engaging in any facet of a fight whatsoever. That's not going to fly and if they want to keep the Metamoris promotion afloat, they would do well to make sure that nonsense doesn't happen again.\n\nDr. AnnMaria said...\n\nAs far as what someone \"has to do\" I've always believed that they have to play within the rules, no more, no less. If the referee isn't looking, you still can't cheat, it's wrong. On the other hand, if there is not a rule against it, you are allowed to do it. I don't know what the rules are for the Metamoris promotion but since he did not get penalized, I am assuming he didn't break any. Yes he DID make it difficult for his opponent to win. You're saying they should change the rules to make it a more exciting sport for spectators. That is a different point. My point is if you play within the current rules (not some future rules), that is all you are required to do and people who then argue you made it hard for your opponent to win - like that's a bad thing - are pretty funny.\n\nTroy Beacleay said...\n\nActually, he didn't make it difficult for his opponent to win in the slightest. It was a much easier victory than if his opponent had broken a sweat. I don't think there was any dissenting opinion over who won, nor was it close. And while no Metamoris rule was broken, that I'm aware of, it's dishonorable to ask for a fight and then get paid for a fight when you never had any intention of actually fighting in any way. If your mindset is, \"I cannot let this person touch me in any way, anywhere\", perhaps you should have challenged him to chess. If you want to fight, there's going to have to be some contact somewhere, sometime. According to Ralek's recent comments, I think he's in agreement that it was bad for his promotion.\n\nSylver said...\n\nBut he didn't make it difficult to win. As a matter of fact, he gave the win away.\n\nHe made it difficult to fight.\n\nAnd in a fight, fighting is kind of the point, no?\n\nAl B Here said...\n\nIt's nice to see that I wasn't the only one who held the opinion that Schaub was running the entire time. You're right, there was no explicit rule against running for 20 minutes, which is precisely what he did, but it does against the spirit of the competition. It was meant to be a test of skill. Schaub exhibited an ability to occasionally sprawl, yes, but he also spent a considerable amount of time on the \"warning track\" which, as others have pointed out, prevented Cyborg from driving his way to a takedown. If he had actively engaged, I would have a lot of respect for him. He didn't.\n\nAnonymous said...\n\n'Alan who complained that Brendan Schaub's match was \"disrespectful\" and that it was hard for his opponent...'\n\nSchaub was disrespectful. Not in that he made it hard for Cyborg to win, but he refused to engage in a contest - anywhere, on the ground OR standing - when the audience had paid good money to see a competition.<|endoftext|>We gratefully acknowledge support from\nthe Simons Foundation and member institutions.\nFull-text links:\n\n\nCurrent browse context:\n\n\nChange to browse by:\n\nReferences & Citations\n\n\n(what is this?)\n\nPhysics > Plasma Physics\n\nTitle: Estimation of direct laser acceleration in laser wakefield accelerators using particle-in-cell simulations\n\nAbstract: Many current laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) experiments are carried out in a regime where the laser pulse length is on the order of or longer than the wake wavelength and where ionization injection is employed to inject electrons into the wake. In these experiments, the trapped electrons will co-propagate with the longitudinal wakefield and the transverse laser field. In this scenario, the electrons can gain a significant amount of energy from both the direct laser acceleration (DLA) mechanism as well as the usual LWFA mechanism. Particle-in-cell (PIC) codes are frequently used to discern the relative contribution of these two mechanisms. However, if the longitudinal resolution used in the PIC simulations is inadequate, it can produce numerical heating that can overestimate the transverse motion, which is important in determining the energy gain due to DLA. We have therefore carried out a systematic study of this LWFA regime by varying the longitudinal resolution of PIC simulations from the standard, best-practice resolution of 30 points per laser wavelength to four times that value and then examining the energy gain characteristics of both the highest-energy electrons and the bulk electrons. By calculating the contribution of DLA to the final energies of the electrons produced from the LWFA, we find that although the transverse momentum and oscillation radii are over-estimated in the lower-resolution simulations, this over-estimation does not lead to artificial energy gain by DLA.

With the same stealth that had impressed Nic the day before, he reached over his shoulder and drew an arrow from his quiver. Through the trees Nic could see the other men crouched in similar positions, readying their weapons. He peered through the jungle twilight, but couldn\u2019t tell what they were watching. There was a moment of absolute silence, even the birds and insects stilled, then a blur of brown through the green of the trees. Arrows flashed through the air and the deer fell. Yelling in triumph, the Mayans ran forward. Nic lagged behind, using the back of his hand to wipe the tears from his eyes. That\u2019s all I need, he thought, for these macho men to see me crying like a girl.\n\nBy the time he reached the deer, the men had used the sharp flint knives strapped to their waists to slit it open and cut off its head. As Nic watched, they hung the deer\u2019s head, stomach and liver from the branch of the nearest tree, then sat in a circle around the carcass and began to sing a prayer. Nic sat too, but couldn\u2019t follow the words. His mind felt slow and clumsy, unable to process the sensory overload, the smells, the blood and the chanting. He tried to summon up a memory from his own life, something comforting and familiar to balance the foreignness of this culture, but the knowledge that he might never be able to return to that life blotted out all other thought.\n\nThe other men paid no attention to him as they continued with their prayers. Flies gathered on the hanging entrails and the disemboweled deer. Nic felt sick, but tried to clear his head and focus. He had to find the amulet before the next full moon, if he was to have any chance of going home.\n\nHis thoughts returned to Itzel, as always, and then to the girl he had just met, Ixchel. The two had to be related\u2014the resemblance was too strong. Was it a coincidence that she was to be sacrificed at the full moon? He remembered the day Jos\u00e9 had come to him in despair and told him his theory about Itzel\u2019s hereditary illness. A female ancestor was supposed to be sacrificed, and that sacrifice was never carried out, so the gods were angry. . . he refused to believe it. It was one thing to believe in magic and psychic connections and another to believe that a group of wrathful gods was bent on wreaking vengeance on one family down through time. He shook his head. There had to be another explanation.\n\nHe must find a way to talk further to Ixchel. Maybe she would know something about the amulet. Maybe she even had it, if she was to be. . . sacrificed. Even the word made him flinch. He had to save her somehow\u2014he couldn\u2019t allow an innocent young girl to go to her death, cultural differences or no cultural differences.\n\nThe chanting continued. Some of the men stood up and begun to dance around the bloody carcass. No one took any notice of Nic, seated quietly beside Nachanc\u00e1n. Maybe he could slip away and look for Ixchel? He decided against it. Better not to draw attention to himself.\n\nAnother thought occurred to him. If Itzel and Malinali still had the amulet, wouldn\u2019t that mean that the sacrifice hadn\u2019t taken place? Nic had to admit that part of Jos\u00e9\u2019s theory made sense, even if he didn\u2019t believe the angry gods explanation. If Ixchel was Itzel\u2019s ancestor, he wouldn\u2019t have to do anything to keep her from being sacrificed\u2014something else would happen to thwart it. On the other hand, maybe Ixchel had nothing to do with Malinali\u2019s family. He felt paralyzed with indecision.\n\nThe men had finished their prayers and were getting ready to leave. Nachanc\u00e1n took the entrails from the tree while others knelt and with their flint knives carved up the carcass into large chunks which they put into mesh bags. Nic stood around feeling uncomfortable. Finally they all set out for home.\n\nIn Search of the Big Golden Buddha\n\nOur seedy little hotel has an interesting feature, a slot next to the door where you insert a plastic card to turn on the electricity. When you leave the room, since the card is attached to the room key, you\u2019re forced to take it out of the slot, which turns off the electricity. It\u2019s a pretty nifty way for the hotel to save money. It\u2019s obvious they\u2019ve seen us coming, wasteful American tourists with our energy-guzzling habits like leaving the AC on all day so the room will be cool when we return. There will be none of that here!\n\nI guess even monks need 7-11.\n\nI\u2019m in the hallway outside my room, waiting for the more slothful members of our party to make their appearance. It\u2019s actually more like a large landing, with heavy wooden chairs arranged around a coffee table. Several doors, adorned like mine with beautiful bare-breasted Thai maidens, open off this landing, and all of them have shoes, mostly sandals, arranged neatly outside them. People here take their shoes off before entering houses. Curiously, we have the same custom in Washington, though it\u2019s a lot more complicated there, since it\u2019s rarely warm enough to wear flip-flops as almost everyone here does. At home it requires tedious unlacing and unbuckling.\n\nBut I digress. My companions have finally emerged from their rooms, blinking like moles in the morning light, and we set out in search of breakfast, which we eat, naturally, al fresco, at a stand with plastic tables set up around it.\n\nSo good!\n\nIt\u2019s almost lunchtime, and most of the tables are occupied by giggling schoolgirls dressed in little white blouses, knee-length plaid pleated skirts, ankle socks and black and white Oxfords. I figure there must be one giant school-uniform company, centrally located in Siberia maybe, that supplies schools all over the world. It\u2019s the only reasonable explanation for why school uniforms are the same everywhere.\n\nThe food, a spicy soup, is delicious. We\u2019re already sweating, since it\u2019s about a hundred degrees, and the humidity feels like a hot wet blanket draped over us. The soup makes us sweat even more. Then my sister Linda\u2019s flimsy chair buckles and she falls over backwards onto the cement, causing a minor sensation among the schoolgirls since she\u2019s over six feet tall and blonde. She gamely picks herself up and dusts herself off, and we set off, full, hot and happy.\n\nWe take a boat ride down the broad, brown Chao Phraya river that curves lazily through central Bangkok.\n\nEast meets west\n\nA nice breeze affords some respite from the crushing heat. The city\u2019s a mix of middle-class neighborhoods, crowded shantytowns, opulent, gilded temples that sparkle in the sunlight, and elegant high-rise hotels.\n\nAfter a while we get off the boat and walk through a touristy area with lots of stands selling souvenirs. Linda, Ellie and I are itching to buy some of the beautiful fabrics and carved wood, but Nick shakes his head and tells us we\u2019ll find these same things for half the price in Chiang Mai, the northern city he\u2019s been living in for the past year and a half.\n\nNow it\u2019s mid-afternoon and we\u2019re hot, sweaty and tired, but Ellie drives us on unmercifully in search of a huge golden Buddha she saw when she visited Bangkok the year before. Traffic, consisting of cars, tuk-tuks and more motorcycles than I\u2019ve ever seen at one time before, swirls around us as we wander the sunstruck streets looking for the phantom Buddha.\n\nWe visit a couple of temple complexes, little oases of green and quiet surrounded by gilded Oriental structures.\n\nI think it needs a little more gold. . .\n\nSigns caution us not to touch the monks or be taken in by false tour guides.

As such, it occurs when normal cells are transformed into cancerous cells and proliferate uncontrollably. Cancer cells, therefore, are normal cells whose genes (several genes) have been damaged/mutated which in turn cause the cell as a whole to respond differently to signals that control the lifespan of a normal cell.\n\nBecause they do not respond to signals/instructions that control the development and death of normal cells, cancer cells continue to grow and proliferate and even invade other parts of the body. In the process, some of the cancer cells end up forming tumors not only at the first region to be affected (lungs etc) but also result in secondary malignant growths away from the primary site (metastasis).\n\n\nSome of the main characteristics of cancer cells that differentiate them from other normal cells include:\n\n \u2022 Abnormally shaped and significantly vary in size\n \u2022 Incapable of self-repair\n \u2022 Do not go through normal apoptosis\n \u2022 Do not perform normal cell functions (as is the case with specialized cells)\n\nCauses of Cancer Cells\n\nBefore looking at some of the main characteristics of cancer cells in detail, it is worth understanding what causes cancer.\n\nBasically, the transformation of a cell from normal to cancerous is caused by agents that are collectively known as carcinogens. On the other hand, such biological factors as viruses (e.g. HPV) have been shown to increase the risk of cancer in various parts of the body. Here, these initiating agents, which include carcinogens (e.g. radiations, UV light, food additives, various chemicals, and cigarette smoke, etc) and viruses transform normal cells by causing damage to DNA and thereby inducing mutations.\n\nNormal cells, however, do not generally transform into cancer cells within a few days. This may happen gradually with exposure to the initiating agent. For instance, this may occur as a result of smoking cigarettes for several years. As the cells become exposed to this initiating agent, several genes may end up being damaged which in turn may not only affect cell functions, but also the cell cycle.\n\nDepending on the impact of the carcinogen on the cell, the type of cancer that develops (from the cancerous cells) would be different from other types of cancer. For instance, while some of the tumors that develop may be benign; others may be more aggressive and rapidly spread to other parts of the body.\u00a0\n\n* While there are different types of cancer cells as there are cancers, they all share a number of characteristics.\n\nCharacteristics of Cancer Cells\n\nCompared to Normal Cells\n\nIrregular Shape\n\nFor the most part, normal cells adopt a specific, uniform cell shape once they differentiate. Depending on the cell, this may allow the cell to effectively perform their function in the body.\n\nA good example of this is red blood cells that have a biconcave shape that allows them to carry red blood cells effectively. Cancer cells, on the other hand, are irregular in shape and misshapen with varying sizes. Given that they do not attach to each other as other normal cells do (in various tissues) they also appear as a chaotic collection of cells when viewed under the microscope.\n\nThe irregular shape of cancer cells has also been identified in the nucleus and nucleolus of cancer cells. For instance, whereas normal cells have a nucleus with a smooth appearance that is spherical in shape, the nucleus of cancer cells tends to be irregular with bulges (blebs). This irregularity is also evident on the nucleolus and may be divided into multiple nucleoli.\n\n\nNormal cells in the body live within a certain period of time and then die. For instance, red blood cells have a lifespan of about 120 days after which they undergo senescence.\n\nThrough this process, aged red cells are cleared while new ones continue to be produced to transport oxygen around the body. Cells in the body (normal cells) are destroyed through a process known as apoptosis in the event that damage to parts of the cell (DNA, etc) cannot be repaired.\n\nFor cancer cells, such mechanisms as cell repair are defective which allows the cells to continue living through an indefinite number of population doubling. Moreover, cancer cells do not respond to signals that initiate apoptosis as is the case with normal cells, which allows them to continue proliferating both in vivo and in vitro.\n\nFor normal cells, each division is accompanied by the shortening of the telomeres (at the ends of the chromosomes). When these regions wear out, the cell eventually dies. For cancer cells, however, the length of this part of the cell is retained which allows the cells to continue dividing. A good example of this is the HeLa cell line belonging to a woman by the name Henrietta Lacks who died in 1951 of cervical cancer.\n\nAltered metabolism\n\nIn order to produce the energy required to effectively perform their functions, normal cells need oxygen and sugar (glucose) among other requirements.\n\nTransformed cells, however, have been shown to have lower growth requirements compared to normal cells. For instance, in a study where 3T3 fibroblasts were transformed using several viruses, their growth in culture was shown to be successful despite the lack of various serum growth factors.\n\nUnlike normal cells, cancer cells have also been shown to be capable of producing their own growth factors that can also stimulate the proliferation of other cells in their surroundings.\n\nIn both glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle, studies have shown cancerous cells to poorly use oxygen for energy production. Instead, they have been shown to use more glucose (to as much as 10 times more than normal cells) for energy production. Here, the sugar is converted to lactic acid before being recycled in the liver.\n\nIn some cases, these cells have also been shown to behave like metabolic parasites in that they drain energy from the surrounding cells. This provides them with the energy required for proliferation. At the same time, it also causes the organism to experience fatigue.\n\nCancer Cells induce Angiogenesis\n\nOne of the other characteristics of cancerous cells is their vascularizing abilities. By producing angiogenic factors (TAF), cancer cells stimulate endothelium growth and thus stimulate the formation of new blood vessels.\n\nThis allows the cells to receive more nutrients (high amounts of glucose) required for proliferation and growth. While angiogenesis plays an important role in supplying cancer cells, it has also been shown to highly contribute to metastasis.\n\nBased on a variety of studies, the density of microvessels has been shown to be higher in malignant cancers as compared to benign neoplasias.

I held it in my hand as the individual reached for another can in the fridge. I looked at the persona nd realize, it was Chirs, the most popular boy in the school, plays basketball, or let say all kind of sports and sometimes skips class, richest boy in school and he's the son of the principal.\u00a0\n\n\" Hey, you look familiar, have I seen you somewhere? \" he asked, observing my face\n\n\" Uh... I don't think so...\" I said\n\n\" Anyways, what's your name? \"\n\n\"...Autumn...\" I muttered I don't think he heard me though\n\n\" Nice name, I'm Chris by the way, soz gotta run, catch you later! \" He said before running to pay his drink and head out of the store, turning around and wave at me before entering a black Lamborghini.\n\nI smiled quietly and waved back before finding my way back to Amanda, on the way, I picked up some shaving cream and snacks for Jake. Once I found Amanda, she was holding a full basket of...stuff.\n\n\" Ah, there you are, where were you? \" Amanda asked looking at me before turning back to try and pick out some potatoes.\n\n\" Drink aisle met Chris and grabbed a Sprite can. \" I said before throwing the stuff in the basket and picked out some good looking potatoes and threw them in the plastic bag.\n\n\" Oh thanks, you've always been good with cooking and stuff. By the way, Chris was it? Isn't he the son of the principal at your school? \" She asked\n\n\" Yeah, he is \" I answered her as we went and paid for the stuff.\n\n\" Are you sure we need all these things? \" I asked, looking at the worker as she scans the item looking bored.\n\n\" Duh, we have five people to feed! \" She said, raising her eyebrows.\n\nI nodded as we collected the bags and walked home. On our way home, I looked at the trees as leaves start to grow on them, despite how beautiful life is, I just... hate it...\n\n\" Hey, earth to Autumn, are listening?? \" Amanda asked me, waving her hand over my eyes.\n\n\" Oh, sorry, what did you say? \" I asked\n\n\" Are you joining any club this year? \" She asked\n\nI sigh, she asks me this question every year, and she already knows the answer, I don't get what is so fun about joining a club.\n\n\" You know the answer, Amanda, \" I said, irritated\n\n\" Come on Autumn! You should at least join one this year! You have talents; you should show it! All you do is spend time in that stupid studio of yours! \" Amanda exclaimed\n\n\" It's not stupid Amanda! \" I said fiercely looking at her.\n\n\" I'm sorry, but you should at least join one! You are an amazing student! You get straight A's for everything, you are the best at sport in school, best in music, let say best in everything! You are better than everyone, but all you do is spend time in that hideous studio! What do you even do in there? \" She asked.\n\n\" I live in there, Amanda, my life is in that studio. I'm who I am in that studio. \" I replied looking at her.\n\n\" Um, ok...\" She said as an awkward silent fell between us.\n\nI looked at her then back at the road ahead. This year, I'll be in year 11, and I'll be teaching dance to year 7 and 8, ballet and contemporary that is. Then in summer break, I'll be teaching gymnastic to the primary school students. That's probably the only things I'm looking forward to, then I remembered, Chris is doing the same thing but with hip-hop and soccer. I sigh and imagine myself in the studio. I spent breaks there day and night; it's where I live pretty much I play music there like singing, cello, piano, guitar, violin, and dance as well. Then when everyone already left the school, I use the court to play basketball and the tracks to run. The school is my life, I feel the safest there, away from... that person.\n\nWe reached home and went inside, Amanda, and I placed the bags down on the table. Jake ran down and grabbed his stuff before running upstairs again, entering his room before slamming the door, making me jump a little.\n\n\" Jake! I'm coming up! \" Amanda said before storming up the wooden stairs.\n\nI laughed quietly to myself and placed everything in its place before walking upstairs, closing the door. I sat at the edge of the bed and put my hand on\u00a0my forehead before falling onto the bed, my head, hitting the pillow. Soon, I drifted off to sleep, then, I heard whispers,\n\n\" You are ugly; you are worthless, you are unloved, a slut... Tell anyone about the past, and you will pay for it! \"\u00a0\n\nI sat up quickly and looked around, I expected to see someone, but there was no one in my room.

Isn't he the son of the principal at your school? \" She asked\n\n\" Yeah, he is \" I answered her as we went and paid for the stuff.\n\n\" Are you sure we need all these things? \" I asked, looking at the worker as she scans the item looking bored.\n\n\" Duh, we have five people to feed! \" She said, raising her eyebrows.\n\nI nodded as we collected the bags and walked home. On our way home, I looked at the trees as leaves start to grow on them, despite how beautiful life is, I just... hate it...\n\n\" Hey, earth to Autumn, are listening?? \" Amanda asked me, waving her hand over my eyes.\n\n\" Oh, sorry, what did you say? \" I asked\n\n\" Are you joining any club this year? \" She asked\n\nI sigh, she asks me this question every year, and she already knows the answer, I don't get what is so fun about joining a club.\n\n\" You know the answer, Amanda, \" I said, irritated\n\n\" Come on Autumn! You should at least join one this year! You have talents; you should show it! All you do is spend time in that stupid studio of yours! \" Amanda exclaimed\n\n\" It's not stupid Amanda! \" I said fiercely looking at her.\n\n\" I'm sorry, but you should at least join one! You are an amazing student! You get straight A's for everything, you are the best at sport in school, best in music, let say best in everything! You are better than everyone, but all you do is spend time in that hideous studio! What do you even do in there? \" She asked.\n\n\" I live in there, Amanda, my life is in that studio. I'm who I am in that studio. \" I replied looking at her.\n\n\" Um, ok...\" She said as an awkward silent fell between us.\n\nI looked at her then back at the road ahead. This year, I'll be in year 11, and I'll be teaching dance to year 7 and 8, ballet and contemporary that is. Then in summer break, I'll be teaching gymnastic to the primary school students. That's probably the only things I'm looking forward to, then I remembered, Chris is doing the same thing but with hip-hop and soccer. I sigh and imagine myself in the studio. I spent breaks there day and night; it's where I live pretty much I play music there like singing, cello, piano, guitar, violin, and dance as well. Then when everyone already left the school, I use the court to play basketball and the tracks to run. The school is my life, I feel the safest there, away from... that person.\n\nWe reached home and went inside, Amanda, and I placed the bags down on the table. Jake ran down and grabbed his stuff before running upstairs again, entering his room before slamming the door, making me jump a little.\n\n\" Jake! I'm coming up! \" Amanda said before storming up the wooden stairs.\n\nI laughed quietly to myself and placed everything in its place before walking upstairs, closing the door. I sat at the edge of the bed and put my hand on\u00a0my forehead before falling onto the bed, my head, hitting the pillow. Soon, I drifted off to sleep, then, I heard whispers,\n\n\" You are ugly; you are worthless, you are unloved, a slut... Tell anyone about the past, and you will pay for it! \"\u00a0\n\nI sat up quickly and looked around, I expected to see someone, but there was no one in my room. My forehead was covered in sweat, I lied down again and covered my eyes with my arm as tears started rolling down my cheeks, soaking the pillow...\n\nLoading ...<|endoftext|>Remote consultation by Zoom are available\n 1.

So I got malaria a week or so ago. In point of fact I don\u2019t know whether there were any P. Falciparum or P. Vivax crawling around my red blood cells, but at the very least it was a bad fever with most of the telling symptoms. I think a lot of us who are interested in the role of science in development keep abreast of the various scientific and economic happenings in the struggle to control malaria, but those of us in the developed world usually have at best an abstract sense of what malaria is.

Malaria hurts.

It\u2019s a cyclical fever, and that part isn\u2019t pleasant, and the parasite can cause lasting damage to the liver, which is scary, and it can kill, particularly children, which is merciless, but it hurts. I can only self report anecdotally, and as a foreigner being exposed for the first time during adulthood, but I\u2019ll always remember waking up with that pain in my muscles whilst shaking from the chills.

Luckily, and I\u2019m much more aware now of just how luckily, as a member of the Peace Corps I have the right medications and someone to call to guide me through it. God Bless the Peace Corps Medical Officer, who is amazing, and Novartis Pharmaceuticals I say.

The dry season is fading into the rainy season, slowly, here in Brong-Ahofa. The rain pounds out a hell of a rhythm on the tin ceiling of my home, but the morning after the storm-when the dry, cracked ground has transformed into loose, black soil-is magic. The storms themselves are pretty magical as well, Africa does not mess around when it comes to lightning. You get proper lightning here, giant arcs of incandescent light like nothing I've ever seen before.

I wanted to let everyone know first of all that over the last month I've been able to clear some personal hurdles and my service in Ghana has become a lot more enjoyable. It's still hard, don't get me wrong, and I don't think about the whole two-year timeframe very much, it's too big to mentally swallow, but things are better than they've been. That's a combination of the projects beginning to take shape, learning more and integrating better into my Ghanaian home, and also really starting to love this part of Ghana. It's like anything else, sometimes it can be easier to care for a small, familiar region instead of a big, slightly abstract thing like a state or a country. I like Ghana, don't get me wrong, but I love Brong-Ahofa. It's beautiful, and it's beautiful in different ways in different places, from the huge rock faces outside of Techiman to the cashew and teak plantations in my, northwestern part of B-A.

I've said before that B-A is a largely agricultural region. Most of the people here are farmers, and even those with some other job tend to have farms that they work on the weekends. Since I have a growing interest in agriculture, farming has been the thing that allows me to talk to people, enter into their lives, learn from their experience, and share, in a small way, some things I've learned from Peace Corps. My formal Peace Corps projects are rolling, and I promise to write more about them in detail next time, but progress is slow, and you've got to find your own way to be here, your own work to do, every day, that lets you just be in this community long enough for those little bits of progress-a conversation with someone knowledgeable, a connection, discovering an interest in a particular project, etc.-sort of coalesce around you. It's not that it's passive, you have to very actively pursue these wisps of progress and sort of snatch them out of the air, but you've got to be there to catch them. And since this process is taking place on a long timeline, what are you going to do so that people know you, know who you are, and that you in some small way know them?

Different volunteers find different answers to that question. Some of my colleagues are working in clinics, others in schools, others doing a mixture of things. My answer has been to join in my community's agricultural life, to practice what we learned in Peace Corps training and more importantly learn from my Ghanaian hosts and my Ghanaian friends. I like that it makes Peace Corps more of an exchange. Yeah, I'm here to \"help\" but they're teaching me how to farm. Some days I go with friends to their farmland, and learn how to dig last year's yams out of the mounds with the hoe, how to tie next year's seed yams to bamboo racks so they won't be spoiled by moisture and insects lying on the ground, and how to use a machete to clear woody brush from fallow land in preparation for the coming season.

At my house I've fenced a small garden area where my compost pile is humming away producing black soil, and seed beds with three hundred leucaena tree seedlings are quietly growing under shade in preparation for transplantation sometime in April. More on that next time. I've got sturdy cassia siamea growing in bags to plant around my house for shade, although they won't reach sufficient height until long after I'm gone. Since most of the land around my house is unusable thanks to a rampaging herd of uncooperative sheep that destroy everything, I've also got some thorny acacia nilotica trees coming up beautifully, take that you ravenous bastards. I've also got some broad leafed albizia lebbek and delicate acacia mangium growing, for no better reason than that they're beautiful saplings and I want to see what they look like as they mature. I'm clearing the rest of the land in the garden area for vegetable seedlings once the rain comes in earnest at the end of March.

I also have a farm, albeit a very small one, out in the bush some distance from my house, as well as from the sheep. It's a beautiful place, under the shadow of a huge old mango tree that is heavy with fruit. The farmers tell me they'll ripen in mid-April, and I'm going to eat myself sick on them. This I have planned. Right now we're just clearing the brush from my small plot, in preparation for burning it to kill the weeds and some kind of small nematode worm that I'm told is resident in the soil. My friend Julius is farming a plot to one side, and my counterpart's son on another, and I'm going to learn from them how to plant the yams that are the staple crop of Brong-Ahofa, as well as some green vegetables and hot peppers to diversify my diet a little bit.

Alongside learning the basics of this agricultural work, I've also been traveling more within the region, visiting my Peace Corps neighbors to learn about their projects, get technical help, and attend a couple administrative meetings.

It's good, there are very few volunteers in Brong-Ahofa, I don't have the most remote site in Ghana, but am among the most remote in terms of distance from cities and isolation from other volunteers. That said, there is a social network of people here, some of whom are from my training group and others who are new friends. Meeting them, seeing their communities, and becoming more familiar with the regional centers of Sunyanni and Techiman has made me more appreciative of this area.

I want to create a backup using my windows PC then export it to a NAS to continue later, but it doesn\u2019t like the source changes.\n\nStill no way to fix this?\nor an easy way to change the paths in the database?\n\nok, so i\u2019ve done some tests with renaming the paths in side the filelist.json file (inside the\n\nmy initial backup with the windows machine was from source \\\\backup\\test\\ which ends up looking like: \\\\\\backup\\test\\ and when moving that over to the NAS the path translates to /data/backup/test/ which is quite easy to find and replace.\n\nWhat i found was then i had to find and replace any sub directories which was easy enough by searching for \u201c\\\u201d and replacing it with \u201c/\u201d\n\nThis all seems to work great until you want to go the other way\u2026\n\nIf you have a backup that is /data/backup/test/ and you want to rename it to \\\\\\backup\\test\\ that is easy enough. But its when you start looking for the subdirectories. you can\u2019t just do a search on \u201c/\u201d and replaced it with \u201c\\\u201d Because there are hashes in the file that use the \u201c/\u201d character as part of the hash, and you can end up accidently renaming the hash.\n\nAnyone have any suggestions on fixing this file path? or somehow reindexing?\n\nLet\u2019s make sure I\u2019m understanding the situation currently.\n\nYou run a backup of source files on Windows (meaning all the paths are backslash Windows style).\n\nThen you export the backup job and move it and the source files to a Linux environment, import the backup job and change the source and destination paths (now forward slash based) as appropriate for the new OS.\n\nWhen you run the moved backup it complains because it can\u2019t find any files in filelist.json (inside the because the source slashes (and root paths) have changed?\n\nCorrect, I get the error:\n\n\u201cThe backup contains files that belong to another operating system. Proceeding with a backup would cause the database to contain paths from two different operation systems, which is not supported. To proceed without losing remote data, delete all filesets and make sure the --no-auto-compact option is set, then run the backup again to re-use the existing data on the remote store.\"\n\nBut there is no way to 'delete the filesets\n\nThanks for the confirmation.\n\nThis is speculation on my part (hopefully @kenkendk or somebody else can confirm) but it sounds like you need to purposefully cripple the backup so that a rebuild of data is triggered.\n\nDO NOT TRY THESE until it\u2019s confirmed by somebody else, but my guess is you\u2019d need to do something LIKE:\n\n 1. manually connect to your destination\n 2. delete (or better yet, rename) the file\n 3. add the --no-auto-compact Advanced parameter to your backup (otherwise I think it will delete your backups, as it will see every backup file as wasted space since it\u2019s not referenced in the file)\n 4. run your backup, at which point I expect it will\n a. realize there no remove file\n b. scan all your local files to build new contents\n c. upload the new\n\nIf you brought your local Windows sqlite files over to Linux rather than exporting/importing the backup job them something like this MIGHT end up being needed to get paths in the local database structured correctly:\n\n 1. export your backup\n 2. delete the backup but DO NOT \u201cDelete remote files\u201d\n 3. import the backup\n 4. run the backup - at which point it will:\n a. realize it has no local data files\n b. download remote files to re-populate the local data files\n c. run the backup and NOT upload very much data as it will see the contents already exists at the destination\n\nAgain, DO NOT do either of these until somebody can confirm either of them are the correct process.\n\nOk, so ive tried your first suggestion, but no success\u2026\n\nhere were my steps, let me know if I misunderstood.\n\n 1. Made windows backup\n 2. Exported backup\n 3. Imported into linux\n 4. Renamed DLIST files manually on backup\n 5. Added --no-auto-compact parameter\n 6. Ran backup - Error no list files present\n 7. Attempted to run repair - Error\n 8. Attempted to delete and run repair - Recreated\n 9. Ran backup - Errored.\n\nSo it doesn\u2019t look like this method works.\n\nI\u2019m not quite understanding your second method, are you saying that you need to redownload the whole backup again?\n\nThere is a check in the source that prevents you from continuing if you have no remote dlist files. You need to create one, but it can be empty (i.e. no files) and put it in the remote folder to \u201cfool\u201d Duplicati into thinking that it is a valid backup. Then you can run the repair, which will build the local database, but with no files.\n\nThe next backup should then add your filenames to the new dlist file, and you can use the commandline to DELETE the old/fake/empty version (version 1).\n\nFor the manual fixing of the dlist file, you can use something like Python to load the json, manipulate it, and then write it out again as a json:\n\nThis will allow you to only do the replace on the path fields instead of a simple search-n-replace.\n\nok, well the fake dlist file sounds like a much easier way to go than to making a script. So once you run the repair it will create a proper dlist file?\n\nNo, \u201crepair\u201d will rebuild the local database.\n\nThe next backup you run will create the correct dlist file, and re-use the dblock data.\n\nAh ok! so it won\u2019t actually redo the backup.

Unplug: Yes, we may all be glued to our gadgets, but unplugging and turning those electronics off when not needed will give you a much-needed rest. I know it's hard to do, which is why you should be proud of yourself when you digitally detox.\n 12. Go to bed early: Going to bed 15 minutes early is a very healthy nighttime habit to pick up. This will help you avoid procrastinating bedtime and will give you a better night's rest.\n 13. Read a life-changing book: Start on your journey of self-improvement by taking the first step and reading a book that will make a change in your life.\n 14. Start recycling and upcycling: Do some good for the environment by remembering to recycle. Invest in a recycling bin in your home, and try to reuse and upcycle old items when you can.\n 15. Tackle a DIY project: Seriously, it's hard to beat the feeling of completing a project on your own. And using the item will keep the glow of accomplishment alive.\n 16. Go for regular health checkups: Taking care of yourself and addressing your physical health is something you should be very proud of doing. It's easy to dismiss things and let health problems linger until they build up. Preventative health is key to a happy and healthy life.\n 17. Treat your parents: Your parents devoted their lives to raising you, so when you finally get the chance to treat them or take care of them, it'll feel really gratifying. Once you're in the position to do so, I guarantee this will be one of your favorite notches on your belt of life accomplishments.\nSource: Shutterstock\nLatest Smart Living<|endoftext|>Changing source OS\n\nI\u2019m in a similar position. I want to create a backup using my windows PC then export it to a NAS to continue later, but it doesn\u2019t like the source changes.\n\nStill no way to fix this?\nor an easy way to change the paths in the database?\n\nok, so i\u2019ve done some tests with renaming the paths in side the filelist.json file (inside the\n\nmy initial backup with the windows machine was from source \\\\backup\\test\\ which ends up looking like: \\\\\\backup\\test\\ and when moving that over to the NAS the path translates to /data/backup/test/ which is quite easy to find and replace.\n\nWhat i found was then i had to find and replace any sub directories which was easy enough by searching for \u201c\\\u201d and replacing it with \u201c/\u201d\n\nThis all seems to work great until you want to go the other way\u2026\n\nIf you have a backup that is /data/backup/test/ and you want to rename it to \\\\\\backup\\test\\ that is easy enough. But its when you start looking for the subdirectories. you can\u2019t just do a search on \u201c/\u201d and replaced it with \u201c\\\u201d Because there are hashes in the file that use the \u201c/\u201d character as part of the hash, and you can end up accidently renaming the hash.\n\nAnyone have any suggestions on fixing this file path? or somehow reindexing?\n\nLet\u2019s make sure I\u2019m understanding the situation currently.\n\nYou run a backup of source files on Windows (meaning all the paths are backslash Windows style).\n\nThen you export the backup job and move it and the source files to a Linux environment, import the backup job and change the source and destination paths (now forward slash based) as appropriate for the new OS.\n\nWhen you run the moved backup it complains because it can\u2019t find any files in filelist.json (inside the because the source slashes (and root paths) have changed?\n\nCorrect, I get the error:\n\n\u201cThe backup contains files that belong to another operating system. Proceeding with a backup would cause the database to contain paths from two different operation systems, which is not supported. To proceed without losing remote data, delete all filesets and make sure the --no-auto-compact option is set, then run the backup again to re-use the existing data on the remote store.\"\n\nBut there is no way to 'delete the filesets\n\nThanks for the confirmation.\n\nThis is speculation on my part (hopefully @kenkendk or somebody else can confirm) but it sounds like you need to purposefully cripple the backup so that a rebuild of data is triggered.\n\nDO NOT TRY THESE until it\u2019s confirmed by somebody else, but my guess is you\u2019d need to do something LIKE:\n\n 1. manually connect to your destination\n 2. delete (or better yet, rename) the file\n 3. add the --no-auto-compact Advanced parameter to your backup (otherwise I think it will delete your backups, as it will see every backup file as wasted space since it\u2019s not referenced in the file)\n 4. run your backup, at which point I expect it will\n a. realize there no remove file\n b. scan all your local files to build new contents\n c. upload the new\n\nIf you brought your local Windows sqlite files over to Linux rather than exporting/importing the backup job them something like this MIGHT end up being needed to get paths in the local database structured correctly:\n\n 1. export your backup\n 2. delete the backup but DO NOT \u201cDelete remote files\u201d\n 3. import the backup\n 4. run the backup - at which point it will:\n a. realize it has no local data files\n b. download remote files to re-populate the local data files\n c. run the backup and NOT upload very much data as it will see the contents already exists at the destination\n\nAgain, DO NOT do either of these until somebody can confirm either of them are the correct process.\n\nOk, so ive tried your first suggestion, but no success\u2026\n\nhere were my steps, let me know if I misunderstood.\n\n 1. Made windows backup\n 2. Exported backup\n 3. Imported into linux\n 4. Renamed DLIST files manually on backup\n 5. Added --no-auto-compact parameter\n 6. Ran backup - Error no list files present\n 7. Attempted to run repair - Error\n 8. Attempted to delete and run repair - Recreated\n 9. Ran backup - Errored.\n\nSo it doesn\u2019t look like this method works.\n\nI\u2019m not quite understanding your second method, are you saying that you need to redownload the whole backup again?\n\nThere is a check in the source that prevents you from continuing if you have no remote dlist files. You need to create one, but it can be empty (i.e. no files) and put it in the remote folder to \u201cfool\u201d Duplicati into thinking that it is a valid backup. Then you can run the repair, which will build the local database, but with no files.\n\nThe next backup should then add your filenames to the new dlist file, and you can use the commandline to DELETE the old/fake/empty version (version 1).\n\nFor the manual fixing of the dlist file, you can use something like Python to load the json, manipulate it, and then write it out again as a json:\n\nThis will allow you to only do the replace on the path fields instead of a simple search-n-replace.\n\nok, well the fake dlist file sounds like a much easier way to go than to making a script. So once you run the repair it will create a proper dlist file?\n\nNo, \u201crepair\u201d will rebuild the local database.\n\nThe next backup you run will create the correct dlist file, and re-use the dblock data.\n\nAh ok! so it won\u2019t actually redo the backup. That\u2019s good to know.<|endoftext|>BMM3Magnifier Gallery\u00a0\nThis was another rebuild of an older coil again making the primary to secondary tighter and adding more insulation to the top turns, it was at this time we stopped working on Magnifier coisl for a few years until the BMM4 bigger coil came along.\nCopy right 2021<|endoftext|>Friday, April 3, 2009\n\nCutting back\n\nThe town where I live is slow to grow.

Originally, these beverages were used as medicines and can be traced back to their popular usage in the 13th century by the Italians and Egyptians. One of the first known anise liqueurs was created by a French resident named Marie Brizard. She took the initiative and created a sweet anise flavored liqueur. The most popular anise based liqueur was made by Henri-Louis Pernod and it was called absinthe. He then went on to create the world famous Pernod Company.\n\nPopular brands\n\nAnise liqueurs come in different types and flavors across the world. The more famous of these liqueurs are: Absinthe (from the French-Swiss border), Anis and Ojen (the popular Spanish liqueurs), Ouzo and Mistra (from Greece), Anisette and Pastis (another popular liqueur in France), Raki (from Turkey), Kasra (from Libya), and the Anesone and Sambuca (from Italy). The Anise liqueurs are made using the spice anise or star anise or licorice. Anise is a flowering plant is native to the Mediterranean region. It was used as a spice in foods and as a medicine for its properties as a relaxant and laxative. The natural advantage of the spice being a relaxant was then used to make this liqueur. Anise liqueur is now well-known for its taste the world over.\n\nNo Sugar\n\nOne of the distinct properties of anise liqueurs is that they turn cloudy or milky when mixed with cold water. This\u00a0effect is generally known as the Ouzo effect. This effect is caused because the essential oil of anise (called Anethole) is soluble only in alcohol and not in water. Adding cold water releases this oil. It is also a known fact that although Anise liqueurs are generally categorized as liqueurs, they have no added sugar in them. That technically makes it a spirit.

Simply down to the law of averages we can't be so sloppy again at the back and if we get the lead once again we surely will hold on to it.\n\nWithin five minutes it was Summerbee who had handed us the lead, and got a goal which he deserved. Teed up by Quinn he lashed a low shot in from the edge of the area at the far end of the Stadium. That had to be it. It had to be because quite frankly nobody, not even Charlton fans, could really have expected much more from a game which had us on every emotion possible to this point.\n\nUnfortunately there was time for another twist in the tale -- as unfathomable as it seemed -- as Clive Mendonca scored his hat trick following more poor defending. A cross was allowed in far too easily by Mickey Gray before Mendonca with the freedom of London was allowed to control and finish unmarked in the six-yard box... and there was still a good 15 minutes to play.\n\nFor the first time all game (or so it felt) we went an extended period without a goal. 120 minutes were up. It was to be a penalty shootout, and approximately 35,000 Mackems took up smoking.\n\nMendonca scored... Summerbee scored... Jones, Kinsella, Robinson Newton... Ball, Makin, Rae, Johnston, all scored. Everyone was scoring and after 120 minutes of football and 12 penalty kicks, it was 6-6 in the shootout.\n\nShaun Newton stepped up for Charlton with the seventh and placed it high beyond a diving Perez, who went the right way for once. Up stepped Mickey Gray, a local lad and fans favourite to continue the scoring-fest before our very eyes.\n\nSomething wasn't quite right though in my mind. For some reason something in my water told me that there was a miss on the cards and I felt it was now. I couldn't watch it, and didn't even see the infamous kick for a few days afterwards once we got home. Instead I stared into the eyes of those around me who could stomach it. You could hear the kick, the roar from the far end of the Stadium where where the Charlton fans were situated, and the collective \"awwwh f--k\" from our lot as thousands of hands were placed on heads against a backdrop of jubilant Charlton fans in the private boxes above us.\n\nTurning around you could see the Charlton players pile on to Sasa Illic while Gray cut a forlorn figure, wandering around alone, visibly slumped but not dropping to his knees or breaking down, staying strong as a chorus of \"There's only one Mickey Gray\" broke out. Perhaps that was what made him seem like he'd eventually drop before Niall Quinn grabbed him in held him up as the rest of the team came to console him.\n\nWe hung around for a few minutes to applaud the efforts of a team which had given their absolute maximum and then some but ultimately couldn't get over the final hurdle. Some brief moments of madness and misfortune changed a game which had absolutely everything.\n\nWhen I look back it was possibly one of the most thrilling and exhilarating games which I've ever seen in the flesh.

As well, often remember to be incredibly fragile as you could possibly bring about additional damage to a audio box in your attempt to mend it.\n\nWire Starter\n\nThis kind of tunes box plays in the event the lid is opened and tension is", "base_doc": " of this back and forwards game. One goal though would surely do it. That remained the mantra in my mind. Simply down to the law of averages we can't be so sloppy again at the back and if we get the lead once again we surely will hold on to it.\n\nWithin five minutes it was Summerbee who had handed us the lead, and got a goal which he deserved. Teed up by Quinn he lashed a low shot in from the edge of the area at the far end of the Stadium. That had to be it. It had to be because quite frankly nobody, not even Charlton fans, could really have expected much more from a game which had us on every emotion possible to this point.\n\nUnfortunately there was time for another twist in the tale -- as unfathomable as it seemed -- as Clive Mendonca scored his hat trick following more poor defending. A cross was allowed in far too easily by Mickey Gray before Mendonca with the freedom of London was allowed to control and finish unmarked in the six-yard box... and there was still a good 15 minutes to play.\n\nFor the first time all game (or so it felt) we went an extended period without a goal. 120 minutes were up. It was to be a penalty shootout, and approximately 35,000 Mackems took up smoking.\n\nMendonca scored... Summerbee scored... Jones, Kinsella, Robinson Newton... Ball, Makin, Rae, Johnston, all scored. Everyone was scoring and after 120 minutes of football and 12 penalty kicks, it was 6-6 in the shootout.\n\nShaun Newton stepped up for Charlton with the seventh and placed it high beyond a diving Perez, who went the right way for once. Up stepped Mickey Gray, a local lad and fans favourite to continue the scoring-fest before our very eyes.\n\nSomething wasn't quite right though in my mind. For some reason something in my water told me that there was a miss on the cards and I felt it was now. I couldn't watch it, and didn't even see the infamous kick for a few days afterwards once we got home. Instead I stared into the eyes of those around me who could stomach it. You could hear the kick, the roar from the far end of the Stadium where where the Charlton fans were situated, and the collective \"awwwh f--k\" from our lot as thousands of hands were placed on heads against a backdrop of jubilant Charlton fans in the private boxes above us.\n\nTurning around you could see the Charlton players pile on to Sasa Illic while Gray cut a forlorn figure, wandering around alone, visibly slumped but not dropping to his knees or breaking down, staying strong as a chorus of \"There's only one Mickey Gray\" broke out. Perhaps that was what made him seem like he'd eventually drop before Niall Quinn grabbed him in held him up as the rest of the team came to console him.\n\nWe hung around for a few minutes to applaud the efforts of a team which had given their absolute maximum and then some but ultimately couldn't get over the final hurdle. Some brief moments of madness and misfortune changed a game which had absolutely everything.\n\nWhen I look back it was possibly one of the most thrilling and exhilarating games which I've ever seen in the flesh. I can't help but ponder, if possible, would I have changed the result?\n\nI have to say that I wouldn't. This stand out as still my favourite game regardless of how it ended, and whilst you might think it odd that somebody's favourite was ultimately so heartbreaking and tinged with sadness, consider this - not everyone's favourite song is the most upbeat, and not everyone's favourite film the funniest.\n\nSome things are just perfect as they are and serve as a lesson for the future, which this game ultimately did as without it going how it did, we'd never have had such a successful and incredible year the one after that.

Because of this, I will always support our street vendors.\n\nMy father had a job when I was a kid, so I was under the impression that we weren\u2019t necessarily hurting for money. But when you\u2019re feeding, clothing, and sheltering two kids in the City, as an immigrant in America \u2014 who can\u2019t speak, read, or write in English and has a first grade education \u2014 job security is an illusion. So, any extra income was welcomed.\n\nEach summer, my father would sell various goods at a neighborhood street market. They were mostly rare, promotional items or prototypes he would bring home from work, which was either thrown away or given away.

(At the time, my mother wasn\u2019t working and my sister was on her way to college.) But he soon realized that no one wanted to buy any of those novelty pieces he was trying to sell. So he turned to something that was moving on the streets.\n\nIn the land before streaming music services like Spotify, before the iPod existed, and before Napster sent music industry sales into a downward spiral, there was a time when the CD player was considered as luxurious as the Apple Watch. During this era, in the mid-1990s, sensing the black market\u2019s advent of the bootleg Compact Disc, the cassette tape was scripting its final chapter.\n\nMy father began selling old school Latin American music. It kept food in my stomach, a roof over my head, clothes on my back, and it helped put my sister through college.\n\nHis customers were loyal to my father, because he had the best quality tapes and he could get his hands on the rarest records \u2014 the demand for music was high. My father had cornered the market and became well-known in my neighborhood among old school Latin American music aficionados.\n\nAlthough my mother had eventually found a good, secure job which included medical benefits, paid vacations, and a 401(k), my father continued to sell music on the streets.\n\nLife has made my father an extremely stubborn man. If he lives to see next month, he\u2019ll be 73 years old. It\u2019s been over 65 years since he last had any parents. It\u2019s been 20 years since he has had a traditional job or a boss. He\u2019s a diabetic, and over the last four years he has seen his vision deteriorate, because he mostly refuses his doctor\u2019s medical advice. For the majority of his life he has not answered to anyone (except my mother). He has always been his own boss, and it made sense that he was most successful (and happy) as a street vendor.\n\nDespite his inevitable death looming over him, he somehow manages to still get out there in the streets, at least once a week, and sell some music. My mother recently retired, I\u2019m old enough to fend for myself, and my sister has her own family. He doesn\u2019t need to work anymore, but he still does. Truthfully, he loves it.

Now, after a grand total of 40 years working for the company, Edward has decided it\u2019s time to take a bow and enjoy his retirement. Let\u2019s learn about some of the cool stuff and strange things Edward has gotten up to over the past four decades.\n\nTo start, Edward was hired to manage the Ripley library, which contained\u00a0the many cartoons Robert Ripley had penned since 1918. To this day, the Ripley\u2019s cartoon is still going. As the company expanded, Edward\u2019s role quickly expanded, and he became a professional shopper for the company. Originally, Ripley\u2019s Odditoriums were few in number and mostly contained objects collected by Robert Ripley himself before he died. Edward changed all that. He set a goal to purchase an exhibit a day and would bring in well over 500 artifacts a year.\n\nEdward quickly became an authority on all things strange, traveling the world seeking out the bizarre. Despite being on a constant hunt for weird stuff, the truly oddest things always seemed to find him. A paperweight made of acrylic\u00a0with hundreds of human nails\u2014a gift\u2014sat on his desk, and he received the strangest\u00a0mail in the country. He regards his most important purchase not to be the most expensive dress in the world\u2014which he bought last year\u2014but 16 pieces of the Berlin Wall. He had traveled to Germany as it fell, intent on taking a suitcase full of rubble home, but immediately realized that wasn\u2019t enough for Ripley\u2019s.\n\nWith a 40-year tenure with the company, Edward has been at Ripley\u2019s longer than Robert Ripley himself and has bought thousands more exhibits than our founder. He may be leaving us, but his impact will never be forgotten.<|endoftext|>Legal issues\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI found another thread that discussed legal issues with fonts but it didn't quite deal with my specific question and since I was still confused, I decided to just go ahead and ask the experts!!\n\nCan fonts be legally used to create word art that", "base_doc": " door, son of a cracker (and I mean the editable cracker.

Despite being on a constant hunt for weird stuff, the truly oddest things always seemed to find him. A paperweight made of acrylic\u00a0with hundreds of human nails\u2014a gift\u2014sat on his desk, and he received the strangest\u00a0mail in the country. He regards his most important purchase not to be the most expensive dress in the world\u2014which he bought last year\u2014but 16 pieces of the Berlin Wall. He had traveled to Germany as it fell, intent on taking a suitcase full of rubble home, but immediately realized that wasn\u2019t enough for Ripley\u2019s.\n\nWith a 40-year tenure with the company, Edward has been at Ripley\u2019s longer than Robert Ripley himself and has bought thousands more exhibits than our founder. He may be leaving us, but his impact will never be forgotten.<|endoftext|>Legal issues\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI found another thread that discussed legal issues with fonts but it didn't quite deal with my specific question and since I was still confused, I decided to just go ahead and ask the experts!!\n\nCan fonts be legally used to create word art that would be sold as either bmp. files or .png files for digital scrapbooking?

Errors Appear On Runtime

When you\u2019re learning something for the first time, you\u2019re inevitably going to make mistakes. Python makes it easy to identify and fix these mistakes immediately. That\u2019s because Python displays errors at run time, instead of simply failing to compile the program.

Open up, the program we just wrote before and intentionally make an error. Here, I\u2019ve omitted a necessary quotation mark.

When I try to run the program, Python tries to point out where I went wrong:

Instead of displaying a blank screen where your program should have been, Python will run your buggy program and try to help you troubleshoot it.

Shallow Learning Curve

I began coding Python last week with the program above. A few days later, I\u2019ve programmed my own basic text editor and calculator using Python.

Because Python has so little overhead and excess code, it becomes easy to grasp continually more difficult concepts since they mimic English sentence structure we\u2019ve seen before.

We just built the most basic program possible. But even just knowing what you know about Python now, I bet you can take a guess as to what the following program does:

I\u2019ll run this program using the Python command.

Sure enough, it lists how many students and teachers there are, and does a basic division problem for us. Did you guess correctly?

For the reasons above and many more that more experienced Python programmers can explain better than I, Python makes a great first programming language, especially if you don\u2019t really consider yourself the math and science type. It\u2019s really no surprise that American universities have come to the same conclusion.

Coding is all the rage these days. Students of all ages and adults already in the workforce are increasingly encouraged to learn programming. Even President Obama said everyone should learn to code. 

There are countless resources that offer the opportunity to learn different skills. From free online classes through services like Codecademy to multi-thousand dollar programs that promise to turn you into a bona fide software engineer in nine weeks. 

But the question remains: Does everyone really need to learn to code?

The answer is no, at least if you\u2019re not in an industry that relies on technology. But that pool of workers is gradually shrinking.

Gregg Pollack, founder of learn-to-code service Code School, says anyone who has to communicate with a developer at any point in their career should learn the basics of programming.

\u201cIf you learn some code, you\u2019ll have a much better appreciation for what they do,\u201d Pollack said. \u201cTake the time to understand what it is and how to effectively communicate with programmers.\u201d 

If your goal is to just understand programming concepts, you can play around with a few coding languages and see which one you prefer to learn. However, if you have a goal in mind\u2014such as building an iOS application or a responsive Web page\u2014you need the right tool for the job. 

I\u2019m Just Getting Started

If you have no experience with coding languages or Web development, you can start by learning basic HTML and CSS. 

HTML isn\u2019t a programming language; it\u2019s a mark-up language used for formatting documents. With HTML, you\u2019re able display your words, pictures, links and video in a format that can be understood by Web browsers. Cascading Style Sheets, or CSS, help you can change the font, size, columns, and other design aspects of a Webpage. 

You may already have experience using HTML and not even realize it. People who use WYSIWYG editors like Adobe Dreamweaver might have noticed you can change your editing style by toggling from \u201cvisual\u201d to \u201cHTML.\u201d 

Even minimal knowledge of HTML is helpful for people, whether they want to pursue programming or not. Having a mild understanding of how responsive websites operate, and learning how to fix your personal blog or site on your own, can help in many careers down the road. 

I Want To Make Web Apps That Look Good

JavaScript is the code makes websites look great, and there are a variety of compatible frameworks like Ember, Angular and Backbone to help you organize and structure your Web applications for multiple browsers. 

JavaScript has been around for 20 years, and it isn\u2019t getting any less relevant. In fact, it\u2019s on track to become the dominant enterprise language.

You can run JavaScript on just about any browser, and it is used to program both frontend and backend services. There are numerous resources for students to learn JavaScript, and Pollack told me JavaScript is Code School's most popular course offering

\u201cIf you\u2019re doing anything on the Web, you have to learn JavaScript, no matter what your backend is,\u201d Pollack said. 

I Need Fast Prototyping

If you\u2019re a designer and want to learn backend programming to test applications, Ruby or Python are good options\u2014both are object-oriented, dynamic languages that are fairly easy to learn. And both were among the top five most popular job skills of 2013

Criteria for determining the best village; namely Community Economy, Public Health, Education, Security and Order and Community Institutions. The results of the calculations using the AHP method in the paired criteria comparison matrix, calculate the eigenvalue until the consistency test. The results of the calculation criteria obtained are: Public Health (45%), Community Economy (24%), Education (16%), Security and Order (9%) and Community Institutions (6%).

Scholarships are one of the factors that can increase learning motivation for students. This scholarship is one of the school programs to help parents of students to ease the burden of education costs of the students. In determining the scholarship recipients who meet the requirements and eligibility at the MA Raudlatul Ulum a decision support system is using the Weighted Product method. Decision making in the Weighted Product method is done by multiplication to connect the rating of each attribute, where the rating of each attribute must be raised by the weight of the attribute in question. In this study there are several criteria used in decision making, namely Average Value, Behavior, Extracurricular, Parent Income, and Dependents of Parents. The research carried out begins with determining the weight of each criterion, then the ranking process is carried out which will produce the most optimal alternative. Based on the results of testing that has been done, it can be concluded that the system is able to provide accuracy of 90% if compared with the results of testing manually.

Credit is one of the common practices that provide benefits for financial or non-financial institutions. However on the other hand, aid loans also have higher risks if the institutions give the wrong decision in giving a loan. Credit Scoring is one of techniques that can determine whether it is feasible to given a loan or not. The selection of a credit scoring model greatly determines the value in classifying credit that is feasible or not to giving a loan. Decision Support System (DSS) is one system that can be used to overcome this problem. The advantages of DSS are being able to overcome the problems that have semi-structured and unstructured data. In this study, DSS was supported by using Artificial Neural Network Backpropagation method and TOPSIS method to find the priority for seeking eligibility. Accuracy results obtained in this study reached 98,69% with the number of iteration is 300, the number of training data is 30, neuron hidden 12 and error tolerance is 0.001. TOPSIS method succeeded in ranking 185 data selected as recipients of credit.

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

How to select this quantity we shall see later.\n\n2 Quantitative Methods of observing Diffusion.\u2014The simplest plan of determining the progress of diffusion between two liquids would be to draw off and examine portions from different strata at some stage in the process; the disturbance produced would, however, interfere with the subsequent process of diffusion, and the observations could not be continued. By placing in the liquid column hollow glass beads of different average densities, and observing at what height they remain suspended, it is possible to trace the variations of density of the liquid column at different depths, and different times. In this method, which was originally introduced by Lord Kelvin, difficulties were caused by the adherence of small air bubbles to the beads.\n\nIn general, optical methods are the most capable of giving exact results, and the following may be distinguished, (a) By refraction in a horizontal plane. If the containing vessel is in the form of a prism, the deviation of a horizontal ray of light in passing through the prism determines the index of refraction, and consequently the density of the stratum through which the ray passes, (b) By refraction in a vertical plane. Owing to the density varying with the depth, a horizontal ray entering the liquid also undergoes a small vertical deviation, being bent downwards towards the layers of greater density. The observation of this vertical deviation determines not the actual density, but its rate of variation with the depth, i.e. the \u201cdensity gradient\u201d at any point, (c) By the saccharimeter. In the cases of solutions of sugar, which cause rotation of the plane of polarized light, the density of the sugar at any depth may be determined by observing the corresponding angle of rotation, this was done originally by W. Voigt.\n\n3. Elementary Definitions of Coefficient of Diffusion.\u2014The simplest case of diffusion is that of a substance, say a gas, diffusing in the interior of a homogeneous solid medium, which remains at rest, when no external forces act on the system. We may regard it as the result of experience that: (1) if the density of the diffusing substance is everywhere the same no diffusion takes place, and (2) if the density of the diffusing substance is different at different points, diffusion will take place from places of greater to those of lesser density, and will not cease until the density is everywhere the same. It follows that the rate of flow of the diffusing substance at any point in any direction must depend on the density gradient at that point in that direction, i.e. on the rate at which the density of the diffusing substance decreases as we move in that direction. We may define the coefficient of diffusion as the ratio of the total mass per unit area which flows across any small section, to the rate of decrease of the density per unit distance in a direction perpendicular to that section.\n\nIn the case of steady diffusion parallel to the axis of x, if \u03c1 be the density of the diffusing substance, and q the mass which flows across a unit of area in a plane perpendicular to the axis of x, then the density gradient is -d\u03c1/dx and the ratio of q to this is called the \u201ccoefficient of diffusion.\u201d By what has been said this ratio remains finite, however small the actual gradient and flow may be., and it is natural to assume, at any rate as a first approximation, that it is constant as far as the quantities in question are concerned. Thus if the coefficient of diffusion be denoted by K we have q= -K(d\u03c1/dx).\n\nFurther, the rate at which the quantity of substance is increasing in an element between the distances x and x+dx is equal to the difference of the rates of flow in and out of the two faces, whence as in hydrodynamics, we have d\u03c1/dt =-dq/dx.\n\nIt follows that the equation of diffusion in this case assumes the form\n\n\\textstyle\\frac{d\\rho}{dt} =\n\nwhich is identical with the equations representing conduction of heat, flow of electricity and other physical phenomena. For motion in three dimensions we have in like manner\n\n\\frac{d}{dx}\\left(\\mathrm{K}\\frac{d\\rho}{dx}\\right) +\n\\frac{d}{dy}\\big(\\mathrm{K}\\frac{d\\rho}{dy}\\big) +\n\nand the corresponding equations in electricity and heat for anisotropic substances would be available to account for any parallel phenomena, which may arise, or might be conceived, to exist in connexion with diffusion through a crystalline solid.\n\nIn the case of a very dilute solution, the coefficient of diffusion of the dissolved substance can be defined in the same way as when the diffusion takes place in a solid, because the effects of diffusion will not have any perceptible influence on the solvent, and the latter may therefore be regarded as remaining practically at rest. But in most cases of diffusion between two fluids, both of the fluids are in motion, and hence there is far greater difficulty in determining the motion, and even in defining the coefficient of diffusion. It is important to notice in the first instance, that it is only the relative motion of the two substances which constitutes diffusion. Thus when a current of air is blowing, under ordinary circumstances the changes which take place are purely mechanical, and do not depend on the separate diffusions of the oxygen and nitrogen of which the air is mainly composed. It is only when two gases are flowing with unequal velocity, that is, when they have a relative motion, that these changes of relative distribution, which are called diffusion, take place. The best way out of the difficulty is to investigate the separate motions of the two fluids, taking account of the mechanical actions exerted on them, and supposing that the mutual action of the fluids causes either fluid to resist the relative motion of the other.\n\n4. The Coefficient of Resistance.\u2014Let us call the two diffusing fluids A and B. If B were absent, the motion of the fluid A would be determined entirely by the variations of pressure of the fluid A, and by the external forces, such as that due to gravity acting on A. Similarly if A were absent, the motion of B would be determined entirely by the variations of pressure due to the fluid B, and by the external forces acting on B. When both fluids are mixed together, each fluid tends to resist the relative motion of the other, and by the law of equality of action and reaction, the resistance which A experiences from B is everywhere equal and opposite to the resistance which B experiences from A. If the amount of this resistance per unit volume be divided by the relative velocity of the two fluids, and also by the product of their densities, the quotient is called the \u201ccoefficient of resistance.\u201d If then \u03c11, \u03c12 are the densities cf the two fluids, u1, u2 their velocities, C the coefficient of resistance, then the portion of the fluid A contained in a small element of volume v will experience from the fluid B a resistance C\u03c11\u03c12v(u1u2), and the fluid B contained in the same volume element will experience from the fluid A an equal and opposite resistance, C\u03c11\u03c12v(u2u1).\n\nThis definition implies the following laws of resistance to diffusion, which must be regarded as based on experience, and not as self-evident truths: (1) each fluid tends to assume, so far as diffusion is concerned, the same equ\u00fcibrium distribution that it would assume if its motion were unresisted by the presence of the other fluid. (Of course, the mutual attraction of gravitation of the two fluids might affect the final distribution, but this is practically negligible. Leaving such actions as this out of account the following statement is correct.) In a state of equilibrium, the density of each fluid at any point thus depends only on the partial pressure of that fluid alone, and is the same as if the other fluids were absent. It does not depend on the partial pressures of the other fluids. If this were not the case, the resistance to diffusion would be analogous to friction, and would contain terms which were independent of the relative velocity u2u1. (2) For slow motions the resistance to diffusion is (approximately at any rate) proportional to the relative velocity. (3) The coefficient of resistance C is not necessarily always constant; it may, for example, and, in general, does, depend on the temperature.\n\nIf we form the equations of hydrodynamics for the different fluids occurring in any mixture, taking account of diffusion, but neglecting viscosity, and using suffixes 1, 2 to denote the separate fluids, these assume the form given by James Clerk Maxwell (\u201cDiffusion,\u201d in Ency.", "base_doc": " the currents set up by the evolution of hydrogen are sufficient to set the aluminium pieces in motion, and it is probable that the motions of the Diatomaceae are similarly caused by the evolution of oxygen. In some pairs of substances diffusion may take place more rapidly than in others. Of course the progress of events in any experiment necessarily depends on various causes, such as the size of the containing vessels, but it is easy to see that when experiments with different substances are carried out under similar conditions, however these \u201csimilar conditions\u201d be defined, the rates of diffusion must be capable of numerical comparison, and the results must be expressible in terms of at least one physical quantity, which for any two substances can be called their coefficient of diffusion.

She gave it instantly in one big affect.\n\nI leaned forward on the bench, one hand under Tainee's jaw, where I had been stroking her gently. I bent down and gently kissed her on her cheek, right where the line of her upper and lower jaws met, and inhaled deeply. \"You smell wonderful.\"\n\nTainee tracked me as I turned the initiative back to her. She pounced. We went sailing back onto the floor, which was surprisingly soft considering it had the appearance of wood, knocking over the bench. She was on top of me, her body heavy, her muzzle pressed to my mouth.\n\nWe kissed awkwardly, as if each of us had read generalities about how the other's culture did this but weren't sure of the particulars. It was sloppy and hard and fast and fun. I stroked her flanks and she murred her approval. She wriggled atop me and batted at my shoulder with a paw. \"You are red!\" she said.\n\n\"'Red?'\" Ciit gave me an infodump: [Hot.] [Oh. Thanks.] I reached up and pulled her muzzle down to my face again, nipping at her cheeks, making her shiver as I increased the nips in intensity. \"I'll show you red.\"\n\n\"I wager you will,\" she sighed. \"Ohh...\"\n\n\"It's probably rude to have sex out here in public.\"\n\n\"Not at this hour. As it gets late, there are always some people having sex at parties. You can't stop them.\"\n\n\"That explains all the pillows. May as well make them comfortable.\"\n\n\"Right,\" Tainee said. \"But if you want to go find someplace private...\"\n\n\"I don't object to orgies. I've even organized a few myself. But I think I'd like to get you alone.\"\n\n\"Alone,\" she sighed pleasurably. \"Then let's go back to your room.\" We nearly ran without pause back to the visitor's section. The door closed behind us and we soon found ourselves on the bed, making out with an enthusiasm that I thought I had long ago grown too old to enjoy. She was sloppy and so was I; we covered each other in spit and reveled in the mess we were making. She got rid of the collar and I threw off the sari, and we tumbled into bed together.\n\nShe was all over me, her muzzle pressed to my face, her soft tongue licking my cheeks. I had my hands on her forelegs, reaching up along the length of her neck. I found a spot right above and between her shoulderblades that made her shiver, hard. \"Right there,\" she whispered. \"Right there.\"\n\nI experimented with that one spot until she was squirming on top of me. Her legs trembled and then she fell over on top of me.\n\n\"Sorry,\" she said. She looked along the length of my body. \"Not so different from everyone else.\" She licked at my chest, then touched my nipples. \"What are these?\"\n\n\"Vestigial nipples,\" I said. \"On fems they're sustenance for new children.\"\n\n\"Then why do you have them?\"\n\n\"Leftovers of an adaptive framework, I guess.\" She nipped at one and I moaned. \"And very powerful sensory toys.\"\n\n\"Ooh.\" She nipped a little harder, then licked at it, making me squirm. I wasn't getting excited by her actions. Instead, I felt a powerful attraction to her and an intense need to feel, well, intense about her. Being in bed with a big cat was hardly a new experience to me, but she wasn't a Pamthreat, she was something new, something different. The product of someone else's research, and a whole individual in her own right.\n\nI grabbed her muzzle and pulled it to me, kissing her hard. Now I felt the subtle shift over to lust as I ran my hands through her luxurious bodyfur. She had muscles layered over muscles, a tight, flawless body, and when I reached her long, lean thighs she moaned. \"Yes.\"\n\n\"Yes?\" I said.\n\nShe nodded. \"Touch me.

As it gets late, there are always some people having sex at parties. You can't stop them.\"\n\n\"That explains all the pillows. May as well make them comfortable.\"\n\n\"Right,\" Tainee said. \"But if you want to go find someplace private...\"\n\n\"I don't object to orgies. I've even organized a few myself. But I think I'd like to get you alone.\"\n\n\"Alone,\" she sighed pleasurably. \"Then let's go back to your room.\" We nearly ran without pause back to the visitor's section. The door closed behind us and we soon found ourselves on the bed, making out with an enthusiasm that I thought I had long ago grown too old to enjoy. She was sloppy and so was I; we covered each other in spit and reveled in the mess we were making. She got rid of the collar and I threw off the sari, and we tumbled into bed together.\n\nShe was all over me, her muzzle pressed to my face, her soft tongue licking my cheeks. I had my hands on her forelegs, reaching up along the length of her neck. I found a spot right above and between her shoulderblades that made her shiver, hard. \"Right there,\" she whispered. \"Right there.\"\n\nI experimented with that one spot until she was squirming on top of me. Her legs trembled and then she fell over on top of me.\n\n\"Sorry,\" she said. She looked along the length of my body. \"Not so different from everyone else.\" She licked at my chest, then touched my nipples. \"What are these?\"\n\n\"Vestigial nipples,\" I said. \"On fems they're sustenance for new children.\"\n\n\"Then why do you have them?\"\n\n\"Leftovers of an adaptive framework, I guess.\" She nipped at one and I moaned. \"And very powerful sensory toys.\"\n\n\"Ooh.\" She nipped a little harder, then licked at it, making me squirm. I wasn't getting excited by her actions. Instead, I felt a powerful attraction to her and an intense need to feel, well, intense about her. Being in bed with a big cat was hardly a new experience to me, but she wasn't a Pamthreat, she was something new, something different. The product of someone else's research, and a whole individual in her own right.\n\nI grabbed her muzzle and pulled it to me, kissing her hard. Now I felt the subtle shift over to lust as I ran my hands through her luxurious bodyfur. She had muscles layered over muscles, a tight, flawless body, and when I reached her long, lean thighs she moaned. \"Yes.\"\n\n\"Yes?\" I said.\n\nShe nodded. \"Touch me. Bliss, touch me, Ken.\"\n\nI shifted my way out from underneath her and gestured for her to lie down on the bed, on her belly. I got behind her and slid my hands along her flanks, letting my fingers find and measure the sweet, perfect planes of muscle and flesh and fur. I could find the tines of her pelvis, where the bones supported both her hips and her spine, and her tail where it seemed to flow out of her", "perturbation_file": "privacy_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 39146, "pt_loc": 114995702, "pt_shuffle_idx": 131103373, "doc_index_f": 205484035, "doc_index_l": 205484035, "offset_f": 20980, "offset_l": 23028, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 90, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": " so engineers sent Quindar tones on the same line as the one used by Capcom.\n\nWhen he wanted to speak to the crew and pressed his push-to-talk button, a quarter-second burst of 2.525 kHz tone was produced.

If this plan or something similar wins enactment, it will be the first comprehensive tax reform in over 30 years.\n\nThe twin goals of President Trump\u2019s tax reform outline released yesterday are to provide relief to taxpayers and to ramp up economic growth. Taxpayer relief will come in two forms: lower rates and a reduction in compliance burdens. In our latest report on tax complexity, we found that the time that Americans spend working on taxes consumes 6.98 billion hours and costs the economy $263 billion. The lower rates and reduction in complexity will stimulate the economy, which has experienced a record 10-year period of sluggish growth of less than 3 percent annually.\n\nThe administration is confident that the resulting long-term economic growth along with the reform\u2019s simplification of deductions would offset the immediate drop in tax receipts. In yesterday\u2019s morning event, Mnuchin agreed with some other speakers that tax reform will need to be coupled with spending reduction and regulatory reform in order to rein in the growing national debt and fully unleash economic growth.\n\nHowever, for taxpayers awaiting bottom line answers about how these plans will affect their finances and those of their children, what matters most are the details that will eventually emerge in legislation. Mnuchin and Director of the National Economic Council Gary Cohn laid out a broad overview of what the administration would like to see enacted, but noted that many details, such as the border adjustment tax in the House GOP\u2019s \u201cA Better Way\u201d reform blueprint, are to be worked out with Congress as the process moves forward. Based on the President\u2019s proposal, five principles for tax reform seem to be guiding the administration.\n\n1.Simplify Individual Tax Brackets and Increase the Standard Deduction: Trump\u2019s plan would consolidate the existing seven tax brackets into three tax brackets of 10%, 25%, and 35%. This would lower the top personal income tax rate by 4.6%, from 39.6% to 35%. In order to further target savings to lower- and middle-income households, the plan also calls for doubling the standard deduction which would mean that a joint- filer couple would pay a 0% tax rate on the first $24,000 of their income, and would not have keep track of as many receipts for tax filing purposes. Moreover, the Trump plan calls for \u201cproviding tax relief for families with child and dependent care expenses,\u201d which would most likely take the form of refundable tax credits.\n\n2.Eliminate Deductions: On the individual tax side, the Trump plan proposes to eliminate all deductions except the mortgage deduction and charitable donation deduction. Additionally, the plan calls for the closing of tax breaks that disproportionately benefit the wealthiest taxpayers. Depending on how this principle is integrated into legislation (i.e., no new measures aimed at punishing certain groups or industries) it could be a promising development in ridding the cronyistic and protectionist loopholes that plague the current Code.\n\n3.Repeal Taxes that Hinder Economic Growth: The repeal of the Estate Tax, the Alternative Minimum Tax, and the 3.8% Obamacare investment income tax are also at the forefront of Trump\u2019s tax plan. Not only are these taxes fundamentally unfair and major sources of compliance burdens, but they also heap a major opportunity cost on investments and savings -- sources of capital that are necessary for economic growth.\n\n4.Reduce the Corporate and Small Business Tax Rate and Move to Territorial System: Trump\u2019s plan would cut the current corporate tax rate from 35% -- the highest in the developed world -- to 15%. This reduction would mean the United States would have a lower tax rate than other OECD countries, like France, Mexico, Spain, Italy, United Kingdom, Norway, and others. The only OECD countries with the same or lower tax rates would be Poland (15%), Latvia (15%), Canada (15%), Ireland (12.5%), Hungary (9%), and Switzerland (8.5%). According to Mnuchin, small- and medium-sized businesses would also be eligible for the 15% rate. This would make the United States more competitive in the increasingly globalized economy and free up investment capital for businesses. Moreover, the U.S. is one of the few countries that taxes income regardless of where it is earned. This means a company must pay U.S. taxes on overseas earnings when it repatriates these profits. The result is that many multinational corporations opt to keep foreign earnings abroad due to what is described as the \u201clockout effect.\u201d\n\n5.Repatriation: Trump\u2019s plan would also include a one-time tax on the repatriation on wealth that is currently being held overseas by businesses and individuals because of our current tax law. Although the plan does not provide a specific rate, leaving that rate to be determined by Congress, Cohn ensured the American people that it would be a \u201ccompetitive\u201d rate. During the campaign, Trump initially proposed a 10% repatriation charge, but it is unclear if that is what the White House means by \u201ccompetitive.\u201d Repatriation could go a long way in increasing the available capital for business to invest and build in the United States.\n\nThere are many admirable reforms included in the White House\u2019s plan to alleviate the burdens imposed on taxpayers through our horribly complex Tax Code, and to recharge a lackluster economy.

The engineer departs, leaving the train unattended.\n\n_ 11:30 p.m. EDT\n\nA resident in Nantes calls 911 to report a fire in the parked train.\n\n_ Midnight\n\nFirefighters and an employee of the train operator, Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway, arrive on the scene. Firefighters douse the blaze and the train engine is shut down. Canada\u2019s Transportation Safety Board at a news conference on Tuesday did not say who shut down the engine or who was last inside the train, key points because the train operator says the shutdown may have led to the release of the train\u2019s brakes. On Wednesday, the railway company chief says an engineer failed to properly set the train brakes.\n\n_ Saturday, July 6 - 12:56 a.m. EDT\n\nAfter firefighters depart, the train starts to move. It begins rolling down a slope away from Nantes and toward Lac-Megantic. The train picks up considerable speed.\n\n_ 1:15 a.m. EDT\n\nThe first explosion is reported as the train derails in Lac-Megantic. The locomotive detaches and continues through town for nearly a mile (kilometer). Residents report a series of explosions, with fireballs shooting into the sky over the next several hours and a wall of flames that destroys the downtown, including a bar filled with patrons, the library and a waterside park, along with dozens of other buildings.\n\n\nSource: Transportation Safety Board of Canada.\n<|endoftext|>Seoul\u2019s Hanok Island\n\nUnhyeongung Royal Residence and Ikseon-dong |\u00a0\uc6b4\ud604\uad81\uacfc \uc775\uc120\ub3d9\n\n\nWritten by Robert J. Fouser\n\nPhotographed by Robert Koehler\n\n\n\u24d2 Seoul Selection\n\n\u24d2 Seoul Selection\n\nSeoul is full of surprises in the most unlikely of places. The eclectic area that sits between Insa-dong to the west and Jongmyo to the east is the quintessential surprising place in the center of Seoul.\n\nThe best way to begin exploring the area is to leave Anguk Station \uc548\uad6d\uc5ed (Line 3) from Exit 4. The first stop is Unhyeongung Royal Residence \uc6b4\ud604\uad81, originally built in the 14th century and rebuilt many times since, most recently in the 1860s. Heungseon Daewongun (1820\u20131898), the powerful prince regent of Korea during the minority of his son King Gojong (r. 1863\u20131907), lived in the palace. Heungseon Daewongun is remembered for his isolationism and sponsorship of vast rebuilding projects in Seoul.\n\nThe current buildings date from the 1860s and were restored in 1993 by the Seoul city government. The palace is an excellent example of a detached palace that housed members of the royal family during the Joseon Dynasty. The four remaining traditional buildings are excellent examples of traditional palace architecture. King Gojong and Empress Myeongseong (1851\u20131895) were married in the palace in 1866, and a reenactment of the royal wedding takes place every year in the spring and fall. Empress Myeongseong, commonly referred to as Queen Min, was assassinated in 1895 under orders from the Japanese Minister to Korea because of her anti-Japanese leanings. The palace is open from 9am to 6pm (November to March) and from 9am to 7pm (April to October).\n\nBehind the palace is the white baroque style Unhyeongung Yanggwan \uc6b4\ud604\uad81\uc591\uad00 that sits on the campus of Deokseong University. Built in 1912 by the Yi Jun, the grandson of the Heungseon Daewongun, the house now sits on the campus of Duksung Women\u2019s University.\n\n\u24d2 Seoul Selection\n\n\u24d2 Seoul Selection\n\nFrom the Unhyeongung Royal Residence, head south and walk past an elementary school. Turn left, walk past the Crown Hotel, and then turn right at the next alley, walking past a parking lot on your left. Go straight until the end of the alley and then turn right. This brings you to the entrance of Ikseon-dong \uc775\uc120\ub3d9, the largest concentration of hanok, or traditional Korean-style houses, outside of Bukchon. Unlike Bukchon, none of the hanok in Ikseon-dong have been renovated because the area is still in midst of a heated debate over redevelopment plans. The debate over redevelopment has inhibited owners from maintaining their houses, leaving many badly in need of repair.\n\nDespite the problems, however, Ikseon-dong is the best example of an authentic 20th-century hanok neighborhood. Ikseon-dong is also important in the history of hanok because it is the second \u201chanok development\u201d of the 1930s in which developers built rows of traditional-style Korean houses of similar size. The declining economic fortunes of the royal family and aristocratic estates during the Japanese colonial period (1910\u201345) forced owners to sell land in central Seoul. Developers bought the land and then divided it into small lots and built alleys on a grid. The first hanok development was the large houses in Gahoi-dong, but the houses in the Ikseon-dong development where smaller and less expensive.\n\nThe heart of Ikseon-dong is four long north\u2013south alleys, all lined with hanok. Weave through the alleys and notice the individual character of each house. The decorations on the doors and the material and decoration on the walls all differ. The houses have undergone layers of change since the 1930s, and today many of the houses are used as boarding houses, with different people renting a room or two in the same house.\n\n\u24d2 Seoul Selection\n\n\u24d2 Seoul Selection\n\nAfter walking through the alleys, walk toward the entrance of Ikseon-dong and take note of Tteuran \ub730\uc548 (T. 02-745-7420), a tea house at the end of the alley near the parking lot.

The engineer departs, leaving the train unattended.\n\n_ 11:30 p.m. EDT\n\nA resident in Nantes calls 911 to report a fire in the parked train.\n\n_ Midnight\n\nFirefighters and an employee of the train operator, Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway, arrive on the scene. Firefighters douse the blaze and the train engine is shut down. Canada\u2019s Transportation Safety Board at a news conference on Tuesday did not say who shut down the engine or who was last inside the train, key points because the train operator says the shutdown may have led to the release of the train\u2019s brakes. On Wednesday, the railway company chief says an engineer failed to properly set the train brakes.\n\n_ Saturday, July 6 - 12:56 a.m. EDT\n\nAfter firefighters depart, the train starts to move. It begins rolling down a slope away from Nantes and toward Lac-Megantic. The train picks up considerable speed.\n\n_ 1:15 a.m. EDT\n\nThe first explosion is reported as the train derails in Lac-Megantic. The locomotive detaches and continues through town for nearly a mile (kilometer). Residents report a series of explosions, with fireballs shooting into the sky over the next several hours and a wall of flames that destroys the downtown, including a bar filled with patrons, the library and a waterside park, along with dozens of other buildings.\n\n\nSource: Transportation Safety Board of Canada.\n<|endoftext|>Seoul\u2019s Hanok Island\n\nUnhyeongung Royal Residence and Ikseon-dong |\u00a0\uc6b4\ud604\uad81\uacfc \uc775\uc120\ub3d9\n\n\nWritten by Robert J. Fouser\n\nPhotographed by Robert Koehler\n\n\n\u24d2 Seoul Selection\n\n\u24d2 Seoul Selection\n\nSeoul is full of surprises in the most unlikely of places. The eclectic area that sits between Insa-dong to the west and Jongmyo to the east is the quintessential surprising place in the center of Seoul.\n\nThe best way to begin exploring the area is to leave Anguk Station \uc548\uad6d\uc5ed (Line 3) from Exit 4. The first stop is Unhyeongung Royal Residence \uc6b4\ud604\uad81, originally built in the 14th century and rebuilt many times since, most recently in the 1860s. Heungseon Daewongun (1820\u20131898), the powerful prince regent of Korea during the minority of his son King Gojong (r. 1863\u20131907), lived in the palace. Heungseon Daewongun is remembered for his isolationism and sponsorship of vast rebuilding projects in Seoul.\n\nThe current buildings date from the 1860s and were restored in 1993 by the Seoul city government. The palace is an excellent example of a detached palace that housed members of the royal family during the Joseon Dynasty. The four remaining traditional buildings are excellent examples of traditional palace architecture. King Gojong and Empress Myeongseong (1851\u20131895) were married in the palace in 1866, and a reenactment of the royal wedding takes place every year in the spring and fall. Empress Myeongseong, commonly referred to as Queen Min, was assassinated in 1895 under orders from the Japanese Minister to Korea because of her anti-Japanese leanings. The palace is open from 9am to 6pm (November to March) and from 9am to 7pm (April to October).\n\nBehind the palace is the white baroque style Unhyeongung Yanggwan \uc6b4\ud604\uad81\uc591\uad00 that sits on the campus of Deokseong University. Built in 1912 by the Yi Jun, the grandson of the Heungseon Daewongun, the house now sits on the campus of Duksung Women\u2019s University.\n\n\u24d2 Seoul Selection\n\n\u24d2 Seoul Selection\n\nFrom the Unhyeongung Royal Residence, head south and walk past an elementary school. Turn left, walk past the Crown Hotel, and then turn right at the next alley, walking past a parking lot on your left. Go straight until the end of the alley and then turn right. This brings you to the entrance of Ikseon-dong \uc775\uc120\ub3d9, the largest concentration of hanok, or traditional Korean-style houses, outside of Bukchon. Unlike Bukchon, none of the hanok in Ikseon-dong have been renovated because the area is still in midst of a heated debate over redevelopment plans. The debate over redevelopment has inhibited owners from maintaining their houses, leaving many badly in need of repair.\n\nDespite the problems, however, Ikseon-dong is the best example of an authentic 20th-century hanok neighborhood. Ikseon-dong is also important in the history of hanok because it is the second \u201chanok development\u201d of the 1930s in which developers built rows of traditional-style Korean houses of similar size. The declining economic fortunes of the royal family and aristocratic estates during the Japanese colonial period (1910\u201345) forced owners to sell land in central Seoul. Developers bought the land and then divided it into small lots and built alleys on a grid. The first hanok development was the large houses in Gahoi-dong, but the houses in the Ikseon-dong development where smaller and less expensive.\n\nThe heart of Ikseon-dong is four long north\u2013south alleys, all lined with hanok. Weave through the alleys and notice the individual character of each house. The decorations on the doors and the material and decoration on the walls all differ. The houses have undergone layers of change since the 1930s, and today many of the houses are used as boarding houses, with different people renting a room or two in the same house.\n\n\u24d2 Seoul Selection\n\n\u24d2 Seoul Selection\n\nAfter walking through the alleys, walk toward the entrance of Ikseon-dong and take note of Tteuran \ub730\uc548 (T. 02-745-7420), a tea house at the end of the alley near the parking lot. The tea house serves traditional Korean tea and offers a rare chance to see the inside of an Ikseon-dong hanok. From there, return to the street with the Crown Hotel and walk to the corner.

Easy enough to trumpet from rooftops, but its execution tends to be a tad more elusive. It is a technique that requires intention and ongoing practice.\u00a0\u00a0\nNew writers have often asked what the difference between the two really is. And is it as important a rule as people make it out to be? As in all things regarding art, rules exist to guide the artist, yet there are occasions when you can break those rules. The \u201cshow don\u2019t tell\u201d rule is no exception. But it has become a clich\u00e9 for a reason. It makes for better writing.\u00a0\nCan you get away with just telling sometimes? Yes. In my view, sometimes telling is more appropriate. The important distinction however is to know when it\u2019s better to tell. And to do that, you have to deeply grasp the greater significance of showing.\u00a0\nAdmittedly, \u201cshowing\u201d requires more effort, and it takes up considerably more real estate on the page. Telling might be a single sentence on the page. And it can do the job just fine if the circumstances are right. For example, if the information that is being conveyed is important but doesn\u2019t have any emotional depth, then telling is perfectly fine. If the information needs to get out quickly so it doesn\u2019t slow down furious pace of the action scene, tell away!\nBut if you want your readers to feel it more than know it, then the obvious solution is to show them what is happening.\u00a0\nCharacter development is one of the areas you need to lean heavily on showing. Simply announcing a character\u2019s traits doesn\u2019t have the necessary depth or impact to draw them in. You have to show the reader who they are. When asked to provide an example of this, I tend to draw from a real-life example\u2014something that occurred in my family\u2019s past.\u00a0\nMy grandfather died when I was still rather young. He had lived a long life and died peacefully in his sleep at the age of 88. He had many children, and a ridiculous number of grandchildren. I was a mere ten years old when he passed, and I can honestly say that I didn\u2019t know him all that well. He was a kindly old man that lived far away from me. I interacted with him once a year when the we went to the family reunion. I remember him being soft spoken and gentle, but that was about all I knew about him.\nThe irony however is I feel like I knew him better years after he died than", "base_doc": " So you could be lured to allow it slip if some guy does not see their kids often \u0432\u0402\u045abecause their ex is crazy\u0432\u0402\u045c or he \u0432\u0402\u045awasn\u0432\u0402\u2122t ready to become a dad.\u0432\u0402\u045c But don\u0432\u0402\u2122t.\n\n\u0432\u0402\u045aThe fault game antics are lame cover-ups,\u0432\u0402\u045c says Klungness. \u0432\u0402\u045aHis choice to abandon their kids \u0432\u0402\u201d emotionally or financially \u0432\u0402\u201d ought to be an instantaneous deal breaker.\u0432\u0402\u045c You don\u0432\u0402\u2122t want his luggage in your lifetime.\n\n4.

Easy enough to trumpet from rooftops, but its execution tends to be a tad more elusive. It is a technique that requires intention and ongoing practice.\u00a0\u00a0\nNew writers have often asked what the difference between the two really is. And is it as important a rule as people make it out to be? As in all things regarding art, rules exist to guide the artist, yet there are occasions when you can break those rules. The \u201cshow don\u2019t tell\u201d rule is no exception. But it has become a clich\u00e9 for a reason. It makes for better writing.\u00a0\nCan you get away with just telling sometimes? Yes. In my view, sometimes telling is more appropriate. The important distinction however is to know when it\u2019s better to tell. And to do that, you have to deeply grasp the greater significance of showing.\u00a0\nAdmittedly, \u201cshowing\u201d requires more effort, and it takes up considerably more real estate on the page. Telling might be a single sentence on the page. And it can do the job just fine if the circumstances are right. For example, if the information that is being conveyed is important but doesn\u2019t have any emotional depth, then telling is perfectly fine. If the information needs to get out quickly so it doesn\u2019t slow down furious pace of the action scene, tell away!\nBut if you want your readers to feel it more than know it, then the obvious solution is to show them what is happening.\u00a0\nCharacter development is one of the areas you need to lean heavily on showing. Simply announcing a character\u2019s traits doesn\u2019t have the necessary depth or impact to draw them in. You have to show the reader who they are. When asked to provide an example of this, I tend to draw from a real-life example\u2014something that occurred in my family\u2019s past.\u00a0\nMy grandfather died when I was still rather young. He had lived a long life and died peacefully in his sleep at the age of 88. He had many children, and a ridiculous number of grandchildren. I was a mere ten years old when he passed, and I can honestly say that I didn\u2019t know him all that well. He was a kindly old man that lived far away from me. I interacted with him once a year when the we went to the family reunion. I remember him being soft spoken and gentle, but that was about all I knew about him.\nThe irony however is I feel like I knew him better years after he died than when he was alive.\u00a0\nMy grandfather was a farmer, and his farm\u2014still in existence today\u2014is in northern Michigan about thirty minutes from Traverse City.

In the eighteenth century, both children and adults of all classes played it outdoors. It appears to have been a highly athletic, team version of the modern game known as Tag.\n\nGeorge Washington occasionally gave his slaves leave to attend special sporting events. In the fall of 1786, for example, he permitted them to go into Alexandria to attend the horse races, stipulating that so long as responsible individuals remained on each of his farms, the others were free to stagger their attendance over the several-day event. Washington was not the only plantation owner to allow such privileges; slaves belonging to his longtime friend, Dr. David Stuart, went to the races in Alexandria in October 1784. The slaves who accompanied the Washingtons to Philadelphia during the presidency received several opportunities to enjoy the entertainments available in the city. In May 1791, Martha Washington gave Christopher Sheets and Hercules each a ticket to a play. Two years later, Mrs. Washington gave her maids, Oney Judge and Molly, a dollar \"to see the tumbling feats,\" and two months later she funded the women's visit to the circus. They must have liked what they saw there, because less than a month later Hercules and another man, Austin, also received money for the same purpose.\n\nThe Washingtons occasionally included the slaves at Mount Vernon in family celebrations as participants, rather than as servants. One of the most memorable of such events was the marriage on 22 February 1799 (George's sixty-seventh and last birthday) of Martha Washington's youngest granddaughter, Eleanor Parke \"Nelly\" Custis, to George Washington's nephew, Lawrence Lewis. In addition to various members of the extended family, a sizable number of slaves also attended. Martha Washington wore a \"light flowered satin\" dress and \"let all the servants come in to see\" the wedding, according to a woman known as Mammy. She described the event nearly sixty years later to the bride's niece, Agnes Lee (who called Mammy \"the last but two of the Mt. Vernon servants\"). The slaves were more than just spectators, however. Mrs. Washington, or \"ole Mistis\" as Mammy called her, also provided them with \"such good things to eat,\" probably the special delicacies prepared for the wedding. While it is doubtful that the Washingtons would have or even could have invited all of the slaves from the outlying farms, it is conceivable that they would have included in the festivities the approximately ninety slaves on the Mansion House Farm, with whom the Washingtons were not only physically but likely emotionally close.\n\nLess than a year after Nelly's wedding, the death of George Washington had a tremendous effect on the personal lives of virtually every slave at Mount Vernon. He died on 14 December 1799 after a short illness and on 18 December was buried in the family vault following Episcopalian and Masonic funeral rites. Frank Lee, the family's mulatto butler (and brother of William Lee), and two of the other serving men from the mansion, Christopher Sheets and Marcus, were outfitted with new shoes the day after Washington's death, probably to look extra-special while waiting on guests attending the funeral. Two other slaves, Wilson Hardiman and Cyrus, took part in the ceremonies, leading Washington's horse, which carried his saddle, holster, and pistols, in the funeral procession from the mansion to the tomb. After the interment, the family offered something to eat and drink to the large number of unrelated visitors who had taken part in the funeral. Afterward, the family distributed to the slaves \"remains of the provisions,\" according to Tobias Lear, Washington's friend and secretary.\n\nLittle is known about the spiritual life of the Mount Vernon slaves. Few plantation owners of the eighteenth century took interest in their slaves' religious activities, and no evidence indicates that George and Martha Washington held daily devotional services for their family and servants. In fact, Oney Judge, Martha Washington's maid, who ran away in 1796 and then converted to Christianity, complained that she \"never received the least . . .moral instruction, of any kind, while she remained in Washington's family.\" However, a few clues hint that the Mount Vernon slave community developed spiritual leaders of its own. One man, Will, at Muddy Hole Farm, perhaps was a minister, for George Washington's 1799 census shows the letters \"mint'r\" written beside Will's name. An enslaved clergyman was not unknown in Virginia at this period, but since there is no other reference to Will in this role, it is impossible to know for sure. However, Caesar, a slave at Union Farm, had a reputation as a well- known preacher among the local African American population in the last years of the eighteenth century. He often wore black and white clothing, perhaps an indication of his ministerial role.\n\nWashington's slaves probably interacted with white members of nearby Baptist, Methodist, and Quaker congregations. In 1797 the Prince Louis-Philippe of France and his servant, Beaudoin, visited Mount Vernon and talked with a number of the slaves, who said that the three religious groups had raised their hopes for freedom in the not-too-distant future. The Quakers had even approached Washington's slaves at places that Louis-Philippe described as \"clubs,\" possibly meetings of mutual-aid or self-help societies, in Alexandria and Georgetown. Throughout Virginia in the last half of the eighteenth century, Baptists and Methodists actively sought new members from the slave community and, whether through their open acceptance of them into the congregation as equals or through their anti-slavery message, received an enthusiastic response, especially from those slaves who were younger and had been born in America. Therefore the presence of Baptists and Methodists among the Mount Vernon slaves is to be expected.\n\nSeveral tantalizing hints indicate that religious traditions and influences from Africa had survived at Mount Vernon by the end of the eighteenth century. (Such cultural remnants were not unusual; similar evidence has appeared in Virginia at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, in Maryland, and in South Carolina.) African-born slaves generally continued to practice their native religions after their enslavement and transportation to the Americas, with the traditions surviving longest in areas where the population had a high concentration of Africans. Such artifacts from the site of a slave quarter at Mount Vernon as an owl's leg bone, bearing marks from a knife where someone had cut off the talon, and a raccoon baculum (penis bone), incised along one end, might be amulets. A former Maryland slave recalled in the late 1930s that the \"only charms\" belonging to slaves on the plantation where he grew up \"were made out of bones.\"\n\nThe carving on the bones at Mount Vernon effectively transformed them into ceremonial or decorative objects, which someone could have suspended from a cord around his or her neck. The well-known sexual aggressiveness of male raccoons might have led a slave to see the baculum as a fertility symbol, while the owl's prowess as a nighttime hunter may have caused someone to see its talon as a valuable aid to their own hunting endeavors. Archaeologists suggest that these pieces indicate either cultural borrowing from Native Americans or are New World manifestations of African custom. Whatever the answer, the artifacts certainly suggest the practice of other belief systems beside, or perhaps in conjunction with, Christianity on George Washington's estate. They also lend credence to an undocumented local tradition that the slaves at Dogue Run Farm practiced voodoo or conjuring.\n\nGiven the dominant European and Christian culture of the time, it was difficult for African-born slaves to transplant another religion to the Americas completely intact. Using Islam as a cursory example, slaves would have found traditional Friday prayers almost impossible to continue in the New World, with the typical work week in Virginia being Monday through Saturday. Further, given the prominence of pork in slaves' diets, it would have been hard to follow Islamic dietary guidelines; however, the availability of fish, the occasional issue of mutton and beef, and game might have made it possible. Of course, pilgrimage to Mecca was out of the question.

But it\u2019s not only by white people; it\u2019s by black people to. What\u2019s with that? That word is a word that was used to degrade black people but now it has become a word that is used to meet and greet by African Americans. Getting mad at the use of that word by whites is so unnecessary for blacks depending on the context, if we (African Americans) can use it then what\u2019s the big deal about white people using it. Wow, the world is full of hypocrites.\n\nI listen to music everyday and everyday I hear the word \u201cnigger\u201d or the way they use it is \u201cnigga.\u201d Some people think using the \u201cn\u201d word in songs makes them better\u2026or do they? It\u2019s really a mistake because some white people like to listen to rap music just as much as black people and they like to sing along to. They might say the \u201cn\u201d word while doing so, but it\u2019s something wrong with that, Right? But when an African American sings along and says that word its okay. So basically rap music encourages people to use the word \u201cnigger/nigga. Well I believe that we (African Americans) can not get mad when a white person says the \u201cN\u201d word unless taken out of context.\n\nAlmost everyday in high school someone would speak to me by saying \u201cwhat s up nigga,\u201d or \u201cwhat it do nigga\u201d and at first it would not bother me.

But it\u2019s not only by white people; it\u2019s by black people to. What\u2019s with that? That word is a word that was used to degrade black people but now it has become a word that is used to meet and greet by African Americans. Getting mad at the use of that word by whites is so unnecessary for blacks depending on the context, if we (African Americans) can use it then what\u2019s the big deal about white people using it. Wow, the world is full of hypocrites.\n\nI listen to music everyday and everyday I hear the word \u201cnigger\u201d or the way they use it is \u201cnigga.\u201d Some people think using the \u201cn\u201d word in songs makes them better\u2026or do they? It\u2019s really a mistake because some white people like to listen to rap music just as much as black people and they like to sing along to. They might say the \u201cn\u201d word while doing so, but it\u2019s something wrong with that, Right? But when an African American sings along and says that word its okay. So basically rap music encourages people to use the word \u201cnigger/nigga. Well I believe that we (African Americans) can not get mad when a white person says the \u201cN\u201d word unless taken out of context.\n\nAlmost everyday in high school someone would speak to me by saying \u201cwhat s up nigga,\u201d or \u201cwhat it do nigga\u201d and at first it would not bother me. But my senior year I took an African American History class and it changed my whole perspective on that word. After being in that class for two days I started asking people not to use that word around me, but I really couldn\u2019t get mad because I have slipped and used the word myself.

As a scientist, however, I decided to do something which none of the above writers had apparently bothered to do \u2026 and read the actual study. It turns out that the reality is nowhere close to what the headline-writers imagine.\n\n20.04.10: The LiveScience website has belatedly jumped on the bandwagon with a bizarre twist in its headline: \u2018Near death experiences linked to oxygen deprivation\u2018. The study found no such link. Ironically, this take on the story comes from LiveScience\u2018s \u2018Bad Science\u2019 columnist.\n\nThe case for carbon dioxide: Slovenian study\n\nSceptical doctors and scientists have long sought in vain for a rational (non-mystical) explanation for near-death experiences (NDEs). A standard medical-scientific explanation for NDEs would be that they are meaningless hallucinations triggered by the physical condition of the dying brain, then misconstrued by lay folk (non-doctors, non-scientists) as having religious significance.\n\nTo date no evidence for such an explanation has ever been found. For while the NDEs themselves are impressively consistent, the physical, psychological and cultural circumstances of those experiencing them vary greatly and show no consistent pattern.\n\nThis week, however, Critical Care, a peer-reviewed open-access journal, published a report by a team of researchers in Slovenia which seemed to hold the answer. Their paper is entitled\n\n\nNear-death experiences (NDEs) are reported by 11-23% of cardiac arrest survivors whose hearts have stopped for significant intervals. We only know of the existence of such experiences because, increasingly, modern resuscitation techniques are able to bring some heart attack victims back to life.\n\nZalika Klemenc-Keti\u0161, MD, and her colleagues at the University of Maribor, contacted 52 hospital patients in Slovenia and asked them to complete a questionnaire about their experiences. All of them were cardiac arrest survivors who had been successfully resuscitated outside of hospital and then admitted to an intensive care unit during the period from January 2008 to June 2009.\n\nThe 16-item questionnaire asked the patients about any mental, emotional, paranormal, and transcendental experiences which they could remember. A total score of 7 or more qualified as a near-death experience. Those patients who scored 7 or more were assigned to the NDE group, others were assigned to the non-NDE group.\n\nAfter questionnaires were completed, the NDE group consisted of 11 patients (21%) \u2014 10 male, 1 female \u2014 with an average NDE score of 11.5. The non-NDE group consisted of 41 patients (79%) with an average NDE score of 0.9.\n\nThe patients also provided information on their demographics, education level, religious belief, fear of death, and any previous near-death experiences. In line with earlier studies, the researchers found no correlation between near-death experiences and any of the patient characteristics.\n\nInterestingly, of the NDE group, 3 were Catholics and 1 was Muslim, but the remaining 7 were all atheists. So much for religious wishful-thinking.\n\nThe researchers compared all of the above with clinical and lab data on the patients which had been obtained within five minutes of their emergency admission to hospital. These included blood serum levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide (CO2), sodium and potassium.\n\nAfter analysing the data, there was found to be a significant correlation between NDEs and two measures of CO2: the serum partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) and the partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide (petCO2). In other words, those patients in the NDE group tended to have, on average, significantly higher carbon dioxide levels in the blood than the other patients. \u201cWe can conclude,\u201d says the report, \u201cthat CO2 might be one of the major factors for provoking NDEs.\u201d\n\nGraph showing serum CO2 pressure levels for the NDE and non-NDE groups.\n\nSo that\u2019s the finding. And if this finding were to prove valid and reliable, it could be the first time that any physical factor has been definitely associated with NDEs. But that\u2019s actually a very big IF. Because as yet, we have no idea how reliable this finding is.\n\nFor one thing, the sample size of this study was pretty small. There were only 11 in the NDE group. So the finding will need to be repeated at least once, preferably using much larger samples, before it can be considered to be reliable. A single result from a small sample can never count as proof of anything.\n\nFor another thing, the results contradict those of earlier NDE studies.\n\nIn an email to MedPage Today, Bruce Greyson, MD, a psychiatry professor and NDE researcher based at the University of Virginia (and also the creator of the original 16-item questionnaire adopted for this study), referred to previous studies looking at blood CO2 levels in relation to NDEs. In contrast to the Slovenian findings, one earlier study found an association between NDEs and below-average carbon dioxide levels, whereas another failed to detect any significant difference in patients with versus without near-death experiences.\n\nAll of which simply highlights the lack of any reliable association in the evidence to date. If CO2 were the cause of NDEs, why did it not show up in all the previous studies?\n\nGreyson has also criticised the team\u2019s conclusion that CO2 plays a role in \u201cprovoking\u201d near-death experiences, pointing out that correlation does not prove causality. (Shame on them for such a schoolboy error.) According to Greyson, high blood CO2 levels are associated with better cardiac output and coronary artery perfusion pressure, which, in turn, would help stave off the amnesia that often occurs in cardiac arrest. \u201cThus,\u201d says Greyson, \u201cthe association between NDEs and higher carbon dioxide levels may indicate simply that patients who are able to recall more of their cardiac arrest also report more NDEs.\u201d\n\nIn other words, a high level of carbon dioxide could simply enhance the memory of having had an NDE, rather than \u201cprovoke\u201d an NDE in the first place.\n\nAnd even if it were eventually established that there is a consistent association between raised CO2 and NDEs \u2014 this is still far from providing an explanation. The researchers themselves admit that the hallucinatory experiences that are typically induced by physiological factors such as CO2 tend to be fragmented, random and confusing \u2014 unlike NDEs which are clear, highly structured, deeply meaningful and easily recalled.\n\nAnd finally, I would also make the following observation. The NDEs of these patients all occurred before hospital admission \u2014 either before or after an ambulance had been called. The blood CO2 measures, in contrast, were taken some time later, during or shortly after hospital admission \u2014 by which time the patient had already been resuscitated and their NDE was, presumably, over.\n\nSo what is the blood CO2 measure in this study actually telling us? That there could be a pattern of raised CO2 some time after having had an NDE.\n\nOn the strength of this study we could just as legitimately (and just as unreliably) conclude that having an NDE causes a subsequent increase in the level of CO2 in the blood, rather than the other way around!\n\nBad news for patients\n\nIt is possible that CO2 plays a role in NDEs, or in the memory of NDEs, or in the recovery from NDEs, or that it plays no role at all if this result was simply a glitch from a small sample. It is far too early to say on the basis of such flimsy evidence.\n\nBut, rather typically, a number of headline-writers have made the leap from tentative correlation to proven causation, announcing that NDEs have now been explained.\n\nThe experiences which near-death survivors report \u2014 which include floating out of their bodies, moving toward a bright mystical light, meeting the spirits of deceased friends and relatives, and feeling extreme joy and peace beyond anything known on Earth \u2014 are often described as the most joyful and most meaningful experiences of their entire lives. For many, they are conclusive proof of the existence of eternal life and a spiritual basis to reality.\n\nThe bad thing about all this misreporting is that for the next few months or even years, anyone who has a near death experience will be told by their family, friends and medical staff alike, \u201cOh, it was nothing but a trick of the mind caused by carbon dioxide.

(An alternative explanation, runs a joke about Mr Kissinger, is that he never listens.)\n\nBut grammar is different, and some researchers have reckoned that adults, with their greater reasoning powers, are not really at a disadvantage relative to children. One study found that when adults and children are exposed to the same teaching materials for a new language for several months, the adults actually do better. Most such research has had to rely on small numbers of subjects, given the difficulty of recruiting them; it is hard to know how meaningful the results are.\n\nNow a large new study led by Joshua Hartshorne of Boston College (with Mr Pinker and Joshua Tenenbaum as co-authors) has buttressed the critical-period hypothesis. The study ingeniously recruited 670,000 online test-takers by framing the exercise as a quiz that would guess the participants\u2019 native language or dialect. This made it a viral hit. The real point was to test English-learners\u2019 knowledge of tricky bits of grammar, and to see how this correlates with the age at which their studies began.\n\nDo younger beginners do better because their earlier start gave them more learning time, or because they learned faster in early years? It can be hard to tease apart these two questions. But testing a huge amount of data against a number of possible learning curves allowed Mr Hartshorne to do precisely that. Many previous researchers had posited a drop-off at around puberty. The new study found it to be rather later, just after 17.\n\nDespite that later cut-off, learners must begin at around ten if they are to get to near-native fluency. If they start at, say, 14, they cannot accumulate enough expertise in the critical period. Unfortunately, 14 or so is precisely when many students, especially in America, are first introduced to a new language. (Even worse, this is an age when children are acutely sensitive to embarrassment in front of peers.)\n\nChildren who start at five don\u2019t do noticeably better than those who start at ten over their lifetimes. But there is still reason to begin in the first years of school, as in Denmark and Sweden. Because mastery takes a long time\u2014perhaps 30 years until improvement ceases\u2014those who begin at five and are obliged to read and write English at university will by then have made much more progress than those who took the plunge at ten, even if their level is roughly the same by 40.\n\nThe existence of the critical period is not a reason for anyone 11 or older to give up. Some people remain excellent language students into adulthood. And Mr Hartshorne tested some truly subtle features of grammar that take years to master. A language learned even to a lower level can still be extraordinarily useful at work or enjoyable while travelling.\n\nBut for policymakers, the implication is clear. Earlier is better. Students outside the English-speaking world will eventually face English in the classroom or at work: they\u2019ll have a better shot if they start younger. As for the Anglophone countries, getting foreign languages into the tender years is a hard sell. Many bureaucrats can hardly see past reading and maths. That is a mistake for many reasons.

We had the good fortune to catch up with the Captain at his headquarters in Stockholm. Sweden that is.\n\nDescender: When did you start freeheeling? How'd you get into it?\n\nOscar Tj\u00e4rnberg: Well, actually I grew kinda tired of downhill skiing. I sort of stagnated in my evolution and I felt I needed something new. At the time I was working in a sport store at a Swedish ski resort where I could use rental equip for free. What a rush, that's the way skiing is supposed to feel. That was 1992, and I've been on tele's ever since, skiing roughly 150 days a year.\n\nD: What's up with the tele scene in Sweden and Europe? How's the European tele scene different than the States?\n\nOscar: There are a lot of excellent telemark skiers in Scandinavia, go figure, since this is the home of freeheeling. But I still think we are less than 5 percent of all skiers. Keep in mind that almost everybody skis over here, so it's quite a bunch anyway. Europe, on the other hand, doesn't produce so many telemarkers, there is only a small core of hard hitting skiers in Austria, Switzerland and France. Randonee is, by far, the number one choice.\n\nOscar: Telemark and skiing in Scandinavia have diverted into two styles. One fast, hard, high jumping, doing snowboard tricks. The other, classic, staying in the grooms, hiking distant powder areas, touring. Both are fun in there own way, but I prefer the previous.\n\nOscar: How's the European scene different? Aren't all US telemarker pot smoking hobos, more or less? Nah, I don't really know. All the telemarkers in North America that I have met are really good guys, good skiers too. Maybe not that radical, since all they've experienced is powder. Over here we are born on blue ice and take any chance we get to huck off anything that resembles a cliff.\n\nD: What kind of beer do you bring to the party? Who's the band?\n\nOscar: Beer!!! My favorite. I'd like to gulp a Carlsberg, or Norrlands Guld, or Snake River Lager. Love the Guinness. Hell, I'll drink anything that's yellow with bubbles in it, I'll even drink cheap Miller High Life if that's what they serve. Right now I'd really like to see Eve 6 or Everclear on the stage. I wish you could set that up for me when I come over to the States in the spring. Man, it's been a long time since I went to a good concert.\n\nD: When we come to Sweden can we stay at your place? Will you introduce us to the Swedish tele groupies we hear so much about?\n\nOscar: Sure you can stay at my place. Nopraw. I share a 225 sq. ft apartment with my girlfriend. Rather tiny but my hospitality is huge. There is no skiing in Stockholm worth the name though, we'll have to go to the alps for that, but you should come here just because of the women. I'll make sure to introduce you around when you get over.\n\nD: Where is skiing taking you? What's next in your skill progression?\n\nOscar: Right now I'm all about recovering. I got a femur (thigh bone) fracture during a photo session in Chamonix, last spring. Four steel pins and stiff knee, that what you get. The way back is long and hard. I have as a goal to be able to do that back flip in a mute grab position, that the guys in the Canadian Air Force do so nicely, before the winter is over. And I probably will too.

But in order to obtain maximum creditor protection, the preferred beneficiary should not be the sole trustee of his/her trust.\n\nSecond, the grantor is assured that the trust\u2019s assets never pass outside the reach of the grantor\u2019s lineal descendants. As mentioned above, a limited power of appointment can be included in the trust agreement to add flexibility, while still assuring the grantor that trust assets pass according to his/her wishes.\n\nThird, by careful selection of trustees, professional property management can be achieved. Many dynasty trusts provide that the preferred beneficiary, upon attaining a stated age (i.e., 25 to 30 years), becomes a co-trustee over his/her trust, and has the right to remove and replace the co-trustee. This way, the preferred beneficiary can always have a \u201cfriendly\u201d co-trustee to work with.\n\n\nIn 1986, Congress (recognizing that the IRS was losing billions in estate taxes) attempted to thwart dynasty trusts by creating the generation-skipping transfer tax. The GST tax is imposed on the transfer of assets to individuals who are more than one generation younger than the transferor (i.e., grandchildren and great-grandchildren). This includes the transfer of assets that are given outright or in trust. The GST tax is in addition to the federal estate and gift tax, and is equal to the maximum estate tax rate (35 percent).\nFortunately, Congress did include a significant exemption to the GST tax. The GST tax exemption is equal to the estate tax exemption ($5.12 million; $10.24 million for a married couple). Although the GST tax exemption is the same as the estate tax exemption, tax-free gifts to a dynasty trust are still limited to the $13,000/$26,000 annual gift tax exclusion and the $5.12 million/$10.24 million gift tax exemption. If the GST tax exemption is allocated to a dynasty trust, the dynasty trust, including all appreciation, is entirely exempt from the GST tax for its entire term. Lifetime transfers to most dynasty trusts result in the automatic allocation of the grantor\u2019s remaining GST tax exemption, unless a gift tax return (Form 709) is timely filed to elect out of the allocation.\n\nLeveraging the GST tax exemption\n\nOne of the most popular ways of leveraging one\u2019s GST tax exemption is through the use of life insurance. For example, assume a married couple creates a dynasty trust for the benefit of their descendants. They use their annual gift tax exclusion and lifetime exemptions to make cash gifts of $2 million to the dynasty trust.\n\nThe trustee of the dynasty trust uses these cash gifts to purchase a $10 million survivorship life insurance policy. After the death of both spouses, the dynasty trust receives $10 million \u2014 income and estate tax free. Although the couple would have used up $2 million of their $10.24 million GST tax exemption, their heirs would now have $10 million in a dynasty trust that is entirely free of the GST tax.\n\nAn added benefit to this approach is that the life insurance proceeds can be used to pay any estate taxes on other assets in the grantors\u2019 estates. This is accomplished by permitting the dynasty trust to loan monies to, or to purchase assets from, the grantors\u2019 estates.\n\nIf properly designed and drafted, a dynasty trust offers significant long-term flexibility to persons who want to establish a tax-favored source of capital to future generations of family members without erosion from estate taxes and without subjecting the trust assets to the claims of the beneficiaries\u2019 creditors.\n\nPages: 123\nIf you have questions, please visit our terms and conditions\nPost Article<|endoftext|>Olga Shakhraychuk is from Russia.

Elzie, a Ferguson activist and co-editor of the newsletter Words Into Action, testified against the so-called \u201cfive-second rule.\u201d Police claimed the rule, which restricted the length of time protestors can gather, was congruent with the First Amendment right to assembly.\n\nPolice were supposed to set up specific protest areas. Elzie, though, had recorded encounters with police on her cell phone in which they told her that there was nowhere to legally assemble.\n\n\u201cThe videos I captured with my cell phone proved that the police were lying and were giving people misinformation,\u201d Elzie told me.\n\nThe highest profile videos from the #blacklivesmatter movement are those that show police actually shooting and killing black people. Feldin Santana\u2019s cell phone video (below) of Michael Slager shooting Walter Scott after a traffic stop in South Carolina, and Ramsey Orta\u2019s video of Eric Garner being choked to death by New York police officer Daniel Pantaleo have both served as national wake-up calls and rallying points for protest.\n\nElzie\u2019s Instagram video of police lying hasn\u2019t had that kind of national profile. But just for that reason, Elzie\u2019s case demonstrate how important cell phones are now in holding law enforcement accountable, not just for the most spectacular cases of violence but for the everyday, petty, drumbeat of abuse.\n\nCell phone technology makes every citizen a journalist, with the tools to gather evidence either, as Elzie did, for the courts or for the public. And that access can be leveraged in a variety of ways. Netta\u2019s co-editor and fellow activist DeRay Mckesson told me in an interview for the *Atlantic* about how an aggressive officer in Ferguson would cover his badge to prevent protestors from seeing his name.\n\n\u201cSo I took a picture of him,\u201d Mckesson said, \u201cput it online, and within 30 minutes they knew everything about him. And that\u2019s a different way of empowering people.\u201d\n\nIn addition to helping citizens hold police legally accountable, of course, cell phones have given black Americans an unprecedented ability to raise awareness of the extent of oppression and violence they face from law enforcement.\n\nJoshua Crutchfield, a graduate student in history at Middle Tennessee State University and a member of the Nashville Black Lives Matter Chapter told me that cell phones \u201chave functioned as eyes and ears on the ground via live streams, Vines, and photos when actions and protest are taking place. With camera phones, Americans who might not otherwise have believed the depth of police brutality can now see it with their eyes.\u201d\n\nOr, as Elzie puts it, \u201cI think that a lot of people live in a fairytale where the police can do no wrong, and if you are willingly blinding yourself to what\u2019s happening, seeing a video or a photo of the police beating or killing someone, that proves that everything you believed to be true is actually false.\u201d\n\nThe power of that can be enormous, as the reaction to the video of Slager shooting Walter Scott demonstrated. The images of Slager killing in cold blood and then apparently planting a weapon on him effectively undermined all public support for the officer.\n\nPolice apparently planting a Taser on Walter Scott, Via YouTube\n\nPolice apparently planting a Taser on Walter Scott, Via YouTube\n\nGeorge Zimmerman, who shot Trayvon Martin, and Darren Wilson, who shot Michael Brown, both became folk heroes to elements on the right. Wilson raised nearly half a million dollars online. Slager\u2019s online funding campaigns, on the other hand, were deleted by sites such as GoFundMe and IndieGoGo. Police officials denounced his actions; even his defense attorney resigned from his case. A cell phone camera showed people the truth and seems to have ensured justice.\n\nGiven the power of cell phone images, it can be easy to praise the cameras themselves and to see the technology as fundamentally altering the relationship between the state and those subject to the state. But, as Crutchfield says, \u201cWe know the limits of cell phones to hold police accountable well. Eric Garner\u2019s death was recorded for the world to see, and yet his police murderers still were not even indicted. So cell phone footage does not equal conviction or even indictment.\u201d\n\nIn fact, it\u2019s not the cops who killed Eric Garner who went to jail but the person who took the cell phone footage, for what his family said are bogus charges.\n\nCell phones alone aren\u2019t going to transform the legal system. But they offer possibilities for transformation that might not otherwise be available. Technology doesn\u2019t cause change itself, but protestors, and those working for change, take advantage of whatever technology they can.\n\n\u201cMuch like the mimeograph was utilized during the civil rights movement to disseminate information,\u201d", "base_doc": "/her spouse as an income only beneficiary of the trust, (2) treat the preferred beneficiary\u2019s children differently so as to take into consideration differing needs, (3) add charitable beneficiaries, and/or (4) direct termination of the trust and outright distributions.\n\nNon-tax advantages\n\nBesides the estate tax savings, dynasty trusts offer several other advantages.\n\nFirst, the beneficiaries of the trust are protected from their inability, their disability, their creditors and their predators, including divorced spouses. But in order to obtain maximum creditor protection, the preferred beneficiary should not be the sole trustee of his/her trust.\n\nSecond, the grantor is assured that the trust\u2019s assets never pass outside the reach of the grantor\u2019s lineal descendants. As mentioned above, a limited power of appointment can be included in the trust agreement to add flexibility, while still assuring the grantor that trust assets pass according to his/her wishes.\n\nThird, by careful selection of trustees, professional property management can be achieved. Many dynasty trusts provide that the preferred beneficiary, upon attaining a stated age (i.e., 25 to 30 years), becomes a co-trustee over his/her trust, and has the right to remove and replace the co-trustee. This way, the preferred beneficiary can always have a \u201cfriendly\u201d co-trustee to work with.\n\n\nIn 1986, Congress (recognizing that the IRS was losing billions in estate taxes) attempted to thwart dynasty trusts by creating the generation-skipping transfer tax. The GST tax is imposed on the transfer of assets to individuals who are more than one generation younger than the transferor (i.e., grandchildren and great-grandchildren). This includes the transfer of assets that are given outright or in trust. The GST tax is in addition to the federal estate and gift tax, and is equal to the maximum estate tax rate (35 percent).\nFortunately, Congress did include a significant exemption to the GST tax. The GST tax exemption is equal to the estate tax exemption ($5.12 million; $10.24 million for a married couple). Although the GST tax exemption is the same as the estate tax exemption, tax-free gifts to a dynasty trust are still limited to the $13,000/$26,000 annual gift tax exclusion and the $5.12 million/$10.24 million gift tax exemption.

Although the couple would have used up $2 million of their $10.24 million GST tax exemption, their heirs would now have $10 million in a dynasty trust that is entirely free of the GST tax.\n\nAn added benefit to this approach is that the life insurance proceeds can be used to pay any estate taxes on other assets in the grantors\u2019 estates. This is accomplished by permitting the dynasty trust to loan monies to, or to purchase assets from, the grantors\u2019 estates.\n\nIf properly designed and drafted, a dynasty trust offers significant long-term flexibility to persons who want to establish a tax-favored source of capital to future generations of family members without erosion from estate taxes and without subjecting the trust assets to the claims of the beneficiaries\u2019 creditors.\n\nPages: 123\nIf you have questions, please visit our terms and conditions\nPost Article<|endoftext|>\nExit Clear\n\nWithout Camera Phones We Wouldn\u2019t Be Confronting Police Brutality Right Now\n\nWithout Camera Phones We Wouldn\u2019t Be Confronting Police Brutality Right Now: Eric Garner as he was being choked by police, Via YouTube\n\nEric Garner as he was being choked by police, Via YouTube\n\nIn October Johnetta (\u201cNetta\u201d) Elzie used her cell phone to help win an ACLU case against law enforcement in Ferguson, Mo. Elzie, a Ferguson activist and co-editor of the newsletter Words Into Action, testified against the so-called \u201cfive-second rule.\u201d Police claimed the rule, which restricted the length of time protestors can gather, was congruent with the First Amendment right to assembly.\n\nPolice were supposed to set up specific protest areas. Elzie, though, had recorded encounters with police on her cell phone in which they told her that there was nowhere to legally assemble.\n\n\u201cThe videos I captured with my cell phone proved that the police were lying and were giving people misinformation,\u201d Elzie told me.\n\nThe highest profile videos from the #blacklivesmatter movement are those that show police actually shooting and killing black people. Feldin Santana\u2019s cell phone video (below) of Michael Slager shooting Walter Scott after a traffic stop in South Carolina, and Ramsey Orta\u2019s video of Eric Garner being choked to death by New York police officer Daniel Pantaleo have both served as national wake-up calls and rallying points for protest.\n\nElzie\u2019s Instagram video of police lying hasn\u2019t had that kind of national profile. But just for that reason, Elzie\u2019s case demonstrate how important cell phones are now in holding law enforcement accountable, not just for the most spectacular cases of violence but for the everyday, petty, drumbeat of abuse.\n\nCell phone technology makes every citizen a journalist, with the tools to gather evidence either, as Elzie did, for the courts or for the public. And that access can be leveraged in a variety of ways. Netta\u2019s co-editor and fellow activist DeRay Mckesson told me in an interview for the *Atlantic* about how an aggressive officer in Ferguson would cover his badge to prevent protestors from seeing his name.\n\n\u201cSo I took a picture of him,\u201d Mckesson said, \u201cput it online, and within 30 minutes they knew everything about him. And that\u2019s a different way of empowering people.\u201d\n\nIn addition to helping citizens hold police legally accountable, of course, cell phones have given black Americans an unprecedented ability to raise awareness of the extent of oppression and violence they face from law enforcement.\n\nJoshua Crutchfield, a graduate student in history at Middle Tennessee State University and a member of the Nashville Black Lives Matter Chapter told me that cell phones \u201chave functioned as eyes and ears on the ground via live streams, Vines, and photos when actions and protest are taking place. With camera phones, Americans who might not otherwise have believed the depth of police brutality can now see it with their eyes.\u201d\n\nOr, as Elzie puts it, \u201cI think that a lot of people live in a fairytale where the police can do no wrong, and if you are willingly blinding yourself to what\u2019s happening, seeing a video or a photo of the police beating or killing someone, that proves that everything you believed to be true is actually false.\u201d\n\nThe power of that can be enormous, as the reaction to the video of Slager shooting Walter Scott demonstrated. The images of Slager killing in cold blood and then apparently planting a weapon on him effectively undermined all public support for the officer.\n\nPolice apparently planting a Taser on Walter Scott, Via YouTube\n\nPolice apparently planting a Taser on Walter Scott, Via YouTube\n\nGeorge Zimmerman, who shot Trayvon Martin, and Darren Wilson, who shot Michael Brown, both became folk heroes to elements on the right. Wilson raised nearly half a million dollars online. Slager\u2019s online funding campaigns, on the other hand, were deleted by sites such as GoFundMe and IndieGoGo. Police officials denounced his actions; even his defense attorney resigned from his case. A cell phone camera showed people the truth and seems to have ensured justice.\n\nGiven the power of cell phone images, it can be easy to praise the cameras themselves and to see the technology as fundamentally altering the relationship between the state and those subject to the state. But, as Crutchfield says, \u201cWe know the limits of cell phones to hold police accountable well. Eric Garner\u2019s death was recorded for the world to see, and yet his police murderers still were not even indicted. So cell phone footage does not equal conviction or even indictment.\u201d\n\nIn fact, it\u2019s not the cops who killed Eric Garner who went to jail but the person who took the cell phone footage, for what his family said are bogus charges.\n\nCell phones alone aren\u2019t going to transform the legal system. But they offer possibilities for transformation that might not otherwise be available. Technology doesn\u2019t cause change itself, but protestors, and those working for change, take advantage of whatever technology they can.\n\n\u201cMuch like the mimeograph was utilized during the civil rights movement to disseminate information,\u201d Crutchfield says, \u201cpeople in this movement, and black folks in particular, have used the tools that are available to them like camera phones and social media to resist and to get out information.\u201d\n\nThat\u2019s been the case going back well before the 1960s.

Now physicists have discovered a naturally occurring topological insulator that can be mined from the earth\u2019s crust.\n\nTopological insulators are one of the more exciting new materials in science. This stuff is odd because is a conductor on the surface but an insulator inside, rather like a block of ice in which melting water flows around the outside but is trapped as a solid in the middle.\n\nBut topological insulators have another property. The electrons flowing over the surface of a topological insulator are all aligned in a specific way. In fact, their \u201cspins\u201d are locked at right angles to their direction of motion.\n\nThis spin-momentum locking means that the electrons are immune from the buffeting they would get inside an ordinary conductor. Instead, the electrons can move through perfect topological insulators with 100 percent efficiency, even at room temperature.\n\nThat unique behaviour has excited physicists and electronics engineers alike. It means that topological insulators could form the basis of an entirely new generation of electronic devices that encode information using both the spin and the charge of an electron.\n\nBut there\u2019s a problem. Topological insulators are few and far between. Physicists predicted their existence in solids in 2005 and synthesised the first example in 2008\u2014a complex crystalline structure based on bismuth antimonide. But the difficulty in making other examples is a serious problem for the emerging technology of spintronics.\n\nThat looks set to change. Today, Pascal Gehring at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart and a few pals have found the first example of a naturally occurring topological insulator in a sample of quartz from a mine in the Czech Republic. The discovery raises the prospect that other naturally occurring materials may be topological insulators too.\n\nThe new material is a grey, metallic mineral called Kawazulite which is made of bismuth, tellurium, selenium, and sulphur. The name comes from the Kawazu mine in Japan, where it was first discovered.\n\nGiven kawazulite\u2019s crystal structure, materials scientists have suspected that it might act as a topological insulator. Indeed, they have synthesized the stuff in the lab and measured its properties to find out.\n\nIn every case, however, the predicted topological insulation failed to materialise because of defects in the synthesized material\u2019s structure.\n\nNow Gehring and co have created single crystalline sheets of the mineral by cleaving them from a naturally occurring crystal. When they measured the properties of this sheet, it turned out to be a conductor on the surface and an insulator inside, just as predicted.\n\nThe team speculate that naturally occurring kawazulite has fewer defects than its synthetic cousin because it is so old: any defects have dropped out of the structure during the millions of years since it formed.\n\nThe question now is whether it is possible to make enough single-crystal sheets from naturally occurring kawazulite to enable this stuff to be put through its paces by physicists working on the next generation of spintronic devices.\n\nIf they can perfect these devices, the electronics industry could one day come to rely on naturally occurring topological insulators from quartz mines in Japan and beyond.\n\nRef:\u00a0: A Natural Topological Insulator<|endoftext|>The celebration of every seventh year, and especially every fiftieth year, which was after 7\u2009\u00d7\u20097.

Two strikes in the 1980s under the first black progressive mayor, Harold Washington.\n\n\nDORIAN WARREN: Yeah, I mean, you know, it\u2019s complicated \u2019cause he wasn\u2019t in charge of the school district but it was still Board of Education, who he appointed I think. It was like, we\u2019re still gonna go on strike and so \u2026 and he was encouraging and supportive of it.\n\nSo anyway long story short, went to undergrad in Illinois, at University of Illinois and then found myself in grad school at Yale. Yeah, weird story.\n\nCHRIS HAYES: Did someone kidnap you in the dark of night and take you to Yale, is that how you found yourself there?\n\nDORIAN WARREN: You know, I had an undergraduate mentor who knew I was kind of an activist and I was headed into law school and she was like, \u201cYou should think about Ph.D. programs.\u201d Just to get the letter of recommendation from her for law school, I said I\u2019d apply to Ph.D. programs and then when all was said and done, Ph.D. was free and law school was a lot of money.\n\nCHRIS HAYES: Yeah, dude.\n\nDORIAN WARREN: And then, so I went to New Haven and I loved New Haven, I didn\u2019t like Yale, but I ended up moving back home after three years and organizing with the Hotel Workers Union for two years.\n\nCHRIS HAYES: Wait, how\u2019d that happen?\n\nDORIAN WARREN: Because I was burned out from school and the graduate T.A. Union effort at Yale, at the time, I became an organizer for that. It was run by the same union. So the Hotel Workers\u2019 Union represents all the Yale workers, the dining hall workers, the clerical workers, and then they were organizing graduate students, so I got to know the union that way and then I was like, \u201cfuck this,\u201d I want to move back home, take a break from school. So I organized for two years and then decided to finish my Ph.D. and then launched, you know, my academic career.\n\nCHRIS HAYES: So you already had the \u2026 I mean you were \u2026 Like you said your mom was a union member-\n\n\nCHRIS HAYES: You were a son of black south side of Chicago, right?\n\nDORIAN WARREN: Exactly, exactly.\n\nCHRIS HAYES: You kinda had that world view politics, but-\n\n\nCHRIS HAYES: What changed in you when you became part of a union drive? \u2018Cause I feel like there\u2019s a really interesting thing that happens to people\u2019s psyches. Even people with liberal politics, because of the ways in which a union drive is a kind of psychological experience?\n\nDORIAN WARREN: Yeah, yeah, you know, I\u2019ll tell you this. My first campaign, my first political campaign ever was Jessie Jackson, Jr\u2019s special election in 1995 and I was really enamored with him. He was like \u2026 and you covered him back in the day. He was a really diehard progressive in Congress. But I remember seeing the limitations of elected office. And so, when I joined the union, and I just knew collective action, solidarity, union organizing strikes was something different, and I think for me when I joined and then when I became an organizer, it was really a different form of power at the end of the day.\n\nSo let me fast forward. Like when I was working with the hotel workers to imagine 60 rank and file workers, mostly housekeepers, mostly women of color, at a negotiating table, with 30 hotel employers. Like that to me was a different kind of power. You know they were sitting there with the union staff, but they were really the leaders, leading that negotiation, which is just a different way of democracy and sharing power in this country, then say representative democracy, right, in terms of how we think of elected officials.\n\nSo I think there was something I always understood. Broadly speaking around the power of collective action that\u2019s different than supporting an individual candidate whose policies I might support, but then I feel disempowered for two years until election day.\n\nCHRIS HAYES: But here\u2019s the thing though that I find. I\u2019ve never been part of a union campaign, but I\u2019ve covered them and I\u2019ve been around organizers. One of the things that I think is hard and I think it\u2019s actually kind of almost a psychological personality disposition that is, forms part of the wedge between liberal and leftist, is you gotta get real comfortable with comfort and disruption and polarization. In fact, the point of an organizer, the reason the labor song is \u201cWhich Side are You On,\u201d is to polarize a workplace.\n\nWhen liberals \u2026 well that\u2019s divisive, it\u2019s like, dude that\u2019s my job.\n\n\nCHRIS HAYES: My job is to be divisive. It\u2019s to get people on one side or the other of stuff. You know I guess I just have a kinda lame conflict averse personality or just, I don\u2019t know, do we have to fight about this? But you got to get real used to that, like particularly if you\u2019re an organizer.\n\n\nCHRIS HAYES: Like how easy was it for you to internalize that?\n\nDORIAN WARREN: It was rough for me.\n\nCHRIS HAYES: It was, that\u2019s not natural for you?\n\nDORIAN WARREN: Now it\u2019s not natural for me. No, but the think about labor organizing \u2026 Well, all right, two things here. One is any kind of \u2026 whether it\u2019s community organizing or labor organizing, you have to take people\u2019s identities as they are and then reconstruct a collective identity. So there\u2019s a lot of invisible labor, lots of conversations, lots of getting people to do things together they normally wouldn\u2019t do to try to construct a different collective identity than how they show up at work or in school or in the neighborhood, right?\n\nSo that\u2019s like the more exciting part to me. It\u2019s really the social construction of race and identity on some level, right? Because you have to reshape someone\u2019s identity.\n\nCHRIS HAYES: In real time?\n\nDORIAN WARREN: In real time.\n\nCHRIS HAYES: That\u2019s what you\u2019re doing.\n\nDORIAN WARREN: And then get them to do things, to take action. And in the case of a strike, to get them to take the riskiest action, right? And in a non-union workplace where they can get fired and lose their livelihoods. That\u2019s the more exciting part. The harder part is the conflict. The harder part is actually going on strike and beating up the employer and the boss. But here\u2019s the thing about labor organizing that\u2019s different from other organizing the left. At the end of the day you have to get peace. You have to sit down and negotiate and then go back to work the next day.\n\n\nDORIAN WARREN: That\u2019s different. That\u2019s a different kind of conflict \u2019cause you still have to work together 365 days of the year when the thing is over, as opposed to I think a lot of us, we can \u2026 It\u2019s easy for me to run a campaign now and beat up on somebody, I never have to talk to them or negotiate with them.\n\nCHRIS HAYES: But that\u2019s also why it\u2019s so discomfiting.\n\n\nCHRIS HAYES: That\u2019s why workplace politics and the militancy of labor is so discomfiting, because you know like, in a campaign you\u2019re just gonna beat the crap out of the boss.\n\n\nCHRIS HAYES: Who is the boss but also a human being.\n\n\nCHRIS HAYES: And maybe you even like the person or you like the person that is the deputy of that person, you joke \u2026 You know, it\u2019s the intimacy and proximity of that that is so electric, but hard.\n\nDORIAN WARREN: Yeah, but it\u2019s just like \u2026 think of it this way, I have fights with my partner, I have fights with my family.\n\n\nDORIAN WARREN: And we go on, but it\u2019s \u2019cause we\u2019ve learned the tools to fight to not take it personally in the same way and that takes", "base_doc": ".

It\u2019s to get people on one side or the other of stuff. You know I guess I just have a kinda lame conflict averse personality or just, I don\u2019t know, do we have to fight about this? But you got to get real used to that, like particularly if you\u2019re an organizer.\n\n\nCHRIS HAYES: Like how easy was it for you to internalize that?\n\nDORIAN WARREN: It was rough for me.\n\nCHRIS HAYES: It was, that\u2019s not natural for you?\n\nDORIAN WARREN: Now it\u2019s not natural for me. No, but the think about labor organizing \u2026 Well, all right, two things here. One is any kind of \u2026 whether it\u2019s community organizing or labor organizing, you have to take people\u2019s identities as they are and then reconstruct a collective identity. So there\u2019s a lot of invisible labor, lots of conversations, lots of getting people to do things together they normally wouldn\u2019t do to try to construct a different collective identity than how they show up at work or in school or in the neighborhood, right?\n\nSo that\u2019s like the more exciting part to me. It\u2019s really the social construction of race and identity on some level, right? Because you have to reshape someone\u2019s identity.\n\nCHRIS HAYES: In real time?\n\nDORIAN WARREN: In real time.\n\nCHRIS HAYES: That\u2019s what you\u2019re doing.\n\nDORIAN WARREN: And then get them to do things, to take action. And in the case of a strike, to get them to take the riskiest action, right? And in a non-union workplace where they can get fired and lose their livelihoods. That\u2019s the more exciting part. The harder part is the conflict. The harder part is actually going on strike and beating up the employer and the boss. But here\u2019s the thing about labor organizing that\u2019s different from other organizing the left. At the end of the day you have to get peace. You have to sit down and negotiate and then go back to work the next day.\n\n\nDORIAN WARREN: That\u2019s different. That\u2019s a different kind of conflict \u2019cause you still have to work together 365 days of the year when the thing is over, as opposed to I think a lot of us, we can \u2026 It\u2019s easy for me to run a campaign now and beat up on somebody, I never have to talk to them or negotiate with them.\n\nCHRIS HAYES: But that\u2019s also why it\u2019s so discomfiting.\n\n\nCHRIS HAYES: That\u2019s why workplace politics and the militancy of labor is so discomfiting, because you know like, in a campaign you\u2019re just gonna beat the crap out of the boss.\n\n\nCHRIS HAYES: Who is the boss but also a human being.\n\n\nCHRIS HAYES: And maybe you even like the person or you like the person that is the deputy of that person, you joke \u2026 You know, it\u2019s the intimacy and proximity of that that is so electric, but hard.\n\nDORIAN WARREN: Yeah, but it\u2019s just like \u2026 think of it this way, I have fights with my partner, I have fights with my family.\n\n\nDORIAN WARREN: And we go on, but it\u2019s \u2019cause we\u2019ve learned the tools to fight to not take it personally in the same way and that takes work, right? I wasn\u2019t born knowing how to fight with my partner, in a constructive way, right? We learn that, those are growing pains. You might think of a union as a tool to have that fight when there\u2019s inherently unjust power relations at play.\n\nCHRIS HAYES: That\u2019s a great way of thinking about it, because also that think you\u2019re saying about the partnership", "perturbation_file": "privacy_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 57142, "pt_loc": 28175356, "pt_shuffle_idx": 198054544, "doc_index_f": 310466016, "doc_index_l": 310466016, "offset_f": 1831, "offset_l": 3879, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 88, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": "\n\nGoogle translates \"\u041f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0434\u0430\u0419\u0422\u0435 \u042d\u0422\u041e!!\" as \"transfer this!!\" --I had a user account once... 19:13, 21 May 2009 (UTC)\n\nThere is also the Russian used in 8-Bit Is Enough.... hmm. wbwolf (t | ed) 19:54, 21 May 2009 (UTC)\nWe already have a page on Russia.

Bart Bernardes/Flickr, CC BY-NC-ND\n\nCoal\u2019s formation is a window on an ancient\u00a0world\n\nAs the world moves to combat climate change, it\u2019s increasingly doubtful that coal will continue to be a viable energy source, because of its high greenhouse gas emissions. But coal played a vital role in the Industrial Revolution and continues to fuel some of the world\u2019s largest economies. This series looks at coal\u2019s past, present and uncertain future, starting today with how it\u2019s formed.\n\nLove it or hate it, coal played a crucial role in launching us into the modern world by fuelling the Industrial Revolution. The byproducts of that role were, of course, the rise of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere and dangerous levels of air pollution in the big coal-fuelled cities.\n\nBut despite its insidious influence on the climate and our health, coal has a lesser-known positive side to its otherwise dark soul. It has provided us with some stunning fossils.\n\nGeologists have known for centuries that coal is an accumulation of plant material that, once buried in the Earth\u2019s sedimentary layers, gets compressed by gravity into a denser, compact form. Yet, in recent years, scientists have hotly debated the early phases of coal formation.\n\nThe discussion hinges on whether coal formed due to the absence of certain organisms that actively break down the woody tissues of dead trees, or whether other non-biological factors were the reason.\n\nContested origins\n\nCoal starts its cycle of formation with the accumulation of plant material in swamps or bogs. Decaying plant matter that builds up at the bottom of bogs or swamps is called peat. After other sedimentary layers bury the peat deposit, the weight of these sediments builds up and compacts it.\n\nOther chemical and physical processes also alter the peat, including pressures exerted by tectonic forces as continents move and crash into one another. These processes eventually turn the layers of compacted peat into rock we can mine.\n\nPure black coal, richer in organic carbon and tempered by heat and pressure, is called anthracite. Brown coal, or lignite, is mostly just compressed peat and has more sediment mixed in with plant matter.\n\nCoal has formed as very large deposits at certain times in Earth\u2019s prehistory. So much so that Reverend William Conybeare, the esteemed British geologist of the early 19th century, first named the Carboniferous or \u201ccarbon-bearing\u201d period (359 million to 299 million years ago) after the distinctive coal deposits of Britain in his book of 1822.\n\nThese great coal swamps formed in what were the Earth\u2019s first great forests. They were home to many varieties of giant amphibians and early reptiles and huge insects, as global oxygen levels were very high at this time.\n\nScientific treasures from coal: the Iguanodon dinosaur display in Brussels Museum of Natural Sciences. Brussels Museum of Natural Sciences website\n\nFor many years, scientists believed that coal formed in such large deposits at these times because certain fungi that helped break down the lignin, or woody tissues, had not yet evolved. The molecular clock estimates for the appearance of these fungi, called Agariomycetes, suggest they should appear in the Permian period (299 million to 252 million years ago), after the formation of the vast Carboniferous coal deposits.\n\nA new theory\n\nBut this doesn\u2019t account for the huge amounts of coal that formed in much later geological periods, such as the Cenozoic, over the past 65 million years. And a new study, led by Matthew Nelsen of Stanford University, takes issue with this model, as well as presenting a new hypothesis for coal formation.\n\nThe study authors argue that coal formed in the Carboniferous period consists dominantly of plants such as horsetails, or Lycophytes. These trees grew to enormous sizes and their periderm, or outer cuticles of the trunk, lack lignin, so wouldn\u2019t be affected by the absence of lignin-degrading fungi. Their argument points to the biochemical composition of the plants having little to do with how coal accumulates.\n\nThe distribution of coal deposits through time is seen in the chart below of the estimated total volume of coal in North America. Large deposits of coal also accumulated during the age of dinosaurs (Mesozoic Era, from 252 million to 66 million years ago) and during the first half of the Cenozoic period (between 66 million and 30 million years ago), well after the predicted first appearance of lignin-degrading fungi.\n\nTerrestrial coal accumulation", "base_doc": "ism (red colors) or blood (that red water looks like blood to me.\n\nGoogle translates \"\u041f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0434\u0430\u0419\u0422\u0435 \u042d\u0422\u041e!!\" as \"transfer this!!\" --I had a user account once... 19:13, 21 May 2009 (UTC)\n\nThere is also the Russian used in 8-Bit Is Enough.... hmm. wbwolf (t | ed) 19:54, 21 May 2009 (UTC)\nWe already have a page on Russia.

But it is also as important to discuss why they do not represent anything inherent about evolutionary psychology as a discipline.\n\nWe can illustrate the first way that evolutionary psychology can be wrong by using the problem of eugenics. Eugenics is theoretically sound, in as much as we know that we can selectively breed to a criteria and expect a predictable result; we\u2019ve been doing it with dogs for 10 thousand years. This is also morally wrong and should not be attempted in humans. Just because eugenics is morally reprehensible, however, doesn\u2019t mean we say the principles of artificial (or natural) selection aren\u2019t true. Nor should this be the case for evolutionary psychology as a field; that it has been misapplied/misinterpreted within our social context (or just says something that we don\u2019t like) simply does not speak to how scientifically correct it is. Another way that the interpretation of these studies can be grossly wrong is the Naturalistic Fallacy; the idea that if something is natural, it is inherently good or should be normative. This is obviously untrue; my human body is adapted to long-distance running, but I reject outright the idea that this is something I ought to engage in.\n\nWhile citing the naturalistic fallacy is a good answer to most any claim about innate human proclivities, I think it\u2019s also necessary to refute specific claims on their own grounds where possible. The final way for evolutionary psychology to be wrong is simply that rationalisation isn\u2019t science, and instances where it is being passed off as such can be exposed for what they are. To illustrate, we generally do not dismiss the entirety of modern medicine as false because of the historical mistreatment of pregnant women in childbirth by doctors. Here, we\u00a0 can see that those occurrences are indeed morally wrong. However, it\u2019s also the case that those instances are bad medicine by medicine\u2019s own standards. Similarly, instances of bad science in evolutionary psychology, where latent misogyny and racism rears its head, can be refuted on their own grounds. This can and should be done without blithely dismissing the entire field.\n\nIt is a disaster that large factions of social justice movements are on the verge of outright anti-intellectualism when it comes to evolutionary psychology. Preserving ignorance about the field with out-of-hand dismissal neglects the potential for this tool to contribute to worthwhile political goals. We don\u2019t have to stop at simply refuting the harmful instances of bad evolutionary study; there is also a positive agenda to be highlighted here. In the spirit of this, I\u2019d like to share a preview of some work I\u2019ve been hobbying with Justin Quillinan, inspired by a recent paper called \u201cAsia\u2019s Missing Women: A Problem in Applied Evolutionary Psychology?\u201d. The paper aims to explore sex-preferential parental investment, which is a prolific problem in parts of Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, where the population\u2019s sex-ratios are heavily male skewed as a result. It is already well documented that women suffer like this, so what can an evolutionary analysis can bring to the table? The problem, as presented in the paper, is this:\n\nAsia\u2019s missing women are, in economic terms, an aggregate outcome of millions of parenting decisions. The individual drivers behind those decisions emerge from interactions between our evolved parenting preferences and social and economic circumstances.\n\nHow do we untangle this seemingly nebulous problem? How do we determine why many self-perceived individuals act in such a similar way that the net result is the literal eradication of the female class? The approach of the paper seems to be largely influenced by economics, which is fairly central to a lot of evolutionary work. Game theory can be paraphrased as something like \u201cgiven that the rules of the game are (x, y, z), which strategy should I employ to reap the most advantageous outcome?\u201d. The most successful strategy is the one that is most likely to survive in the population, and hence it is the one we most expect to find. If we treat the problem of parents favouring boys over girls as a solution to the problem of parents\u2019 circumstances, the question then becomes \u201cwhat are the parameters that make this survival strategy worth employing such that it is so common?\u201d\n\nBy comparing the commonalities in cultures that have this problem, Brooks identifies some ecomonic and social factors that may reward preferential parental investment. This is important: it means that campaigners for change don\u2019t have to simply say the reason that girls are selectively aborted or neglected starts and ends with \u201cgirls are undervalued in these cultures\u201d. Despite how true that is, it is also true of many cultures who do not have skewed sex ratios, and doesn\u2019t really point to any concrete way of tackling the problem. If we can identify the driving factors that make parents behave this way with an evolutionary analysis, it means we can target specific structures with a specific end goal in mind.\n\nIn an interesting and\u00a0 wide-ranging investigation, the paper compares skewed parental investment occurence in non-human animals with the social and historical particulars that have led to this behaviour in disparate human populations. In doing so, Brooks proposes that male sex-biased populations are the systematic result of a population\u2019s patrilineage, patrilocal kinship systems, and the dowry system. It was my hunch that the sex-biased population ratio could be reducible to patrilocality alone; that is, the system whereby women leave their blood relatives in order to live with (and care for) their husband\u2019s family when they marry. Let us assume that the number of blood relatives in your family is a proxy measure of fitness. In a patrilocal social order, it is necessarily the case that having a son is more advantageous than having a daughter \u2013 precisely because daughters will always leave. Let us now also factor in the effects of infanticide and abortion; the option to neglect/kill your male/female offspring according to whether or not the most successful families you know had a boy or girl, will lead to the preferential elimination of females.\n\nSo we\u2019ve implemented a model (source code available here) demonstrating exactly this:\nWe start with a population of agents separated into a number of families of a single breeding pair each single individuals. At each time-step, the following events occur:\n1. Reproduction: fertile breeding pairs of agents have a new agent \u2018child\u2019 of random sex. A fertile pair is one that does not have an unmarried child that is younger than the age of maturity.\n1.2. Abortion: Now, the pair can choose to either keep or to abort their new agent. To make this decision, they choose a random family, with larger families having a proportionally higher probability of being chosen. If the sex ratio of that family is a mismatch to the child they have just had, they will abort the child. Otherwise, they will keep it. (ETA: the abortion decision is based on the sex ratio of all the offspring of the chosen family).\n2. Marriage: Every single, mature agent attempts to pair with a random, opposite sex partner from a different family, to form a breeding pair. In patrilocality, the female leaves her family and is appended to her husband-agent\u2019s family to form a breeding pair. (In the matrilocality sanity check, the situation is vice versa and male agents join their wives\u2019 families).\n3. Death: Agents above a certain age are removed from the population. If a family no longer has any members, we generate a new breeding pair individual so that the population doesn\u2019t die out.\n\nThe first null model was as above, with the omission of step 1.2. We later implemented one that is as above, but minus patrilocal marriage (ie, married agents simply form a new family pair) because this is a better comparison.\n\nAt each time-step, we measure the sex ratio of the population. This is what happens (wordpress is terrible, click for a clearer image):\n\n\nAverage of 500 runs, seeded from 50 family breeding pairs\n\nThe sex-ratio of the population is skewed in the direction of the sex that determines family locality \u2013 that is to say, patrilocality alone systematically results in the preferential abortion of female offspring, and a higher ratio of males in the population to females. This model will hopefully lend itself to some further work exploring the role of the dowry in maintaining the system by offsetting the costs of giving away offspring, preferential marrying, and how a shift toward \u201cnuclear\u201d family arrangements may have lifted the cost-benefit situations disadvantaging females (and thus making dowry systems redundant).\n\nUPDATE (09/02/12): Here is the data using an amended null model:\n\nAverage of 1000 runs, seeded from 50 individuals\n\nAverage of 1000 runs, seeded from 50 individuals\n\nThe \u2018bump\u2019 at around time-step 20 in the first graph noticed by Sean (see comments section) doesn\u2019t appear here; this was an artefact of seeding with identical pairs that breed and die at the same time. Seeding with individuals has smoothed out that curve; staggering the ages of agents would likely smooth it out further. The extra noise in this model means that the skew is less pronounced than before; note the Y axis is zoomed in to ~0", "base_doc": " claims with adequate discernment, so it is important that we address how some claims are morally wrong and incorrect.

This is what happens (wordpress is terrible, click for a clearer image):\n\n\nAverage of 500 runs, seeded from 50 family breeding pairs\n\nThe sex-ratio of the population is skewed in the direction of the sex that determines family locality \u2013 that is to say, patrilocality alone systematically results in the preferential abortion of female offspring, and a higher ratio of males in the population to females. This model will hopefully lend itself to some further work exploring the role of the dowry in maintaining the system by offsetting the costs of giving away offspring, preferential marrying, and how a shift toward \u201cnuclear\u201d family arrangements may have lifted the cost-benefit situations disadvantaging females (and thus making dowry systems redundant).\n\nUPDATE (09/02/12): Here is the data using an amended null model:\n\nAverage of 1000 runs, seeded from 50 individuals\n\nAverage of 1000 runs, seeded from 50 individuals\n\nThe \u2018bump\u2019 at around time-step 20 in the first graph noticed by Sean (see comments section) doesn\u2019t appear here; this was an artefact of seeding with identical pairs that breed and die at the same time. Seeding with individuals has smoothed out that curve; staggering the ages of agents would likely smooth it out further. The extra noise in this model means that the skew is less pronounced than before; note the Y axis is zoomed in to ~0.3 \u2013 0.7. The null model here is of the null hypothesis; abortion still happens, the only difference is that instead of a married agent appending to their spouse\u2019s family, the married couple form a new family pair (ie. no matri/patrilocality). This means that any single given population\u2019s sex ratio is susceptible to drift;", "perturbation_file": "privacy_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 62050, "pt_loc": 52701301, "pt_shuffle_idx": 113982151, "doc_index_f": 178639146, "doc_index_l": 178639146, "offset_f": 647, "offset_l": 2695, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 76, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": "P\u00e1draig Whelan is from the Republic of Ireland.

What hasn't been covered as much is Horizon for Linux. For those unaware, there is now improved support for Linux VDI desktops. Sure, Linux virtual desktop infrastructure may seem niche, but it's out there and it works.\n\nSome of you may be wondering, why use Linux on virtual desktop infrastructure? The most obvious answer to that question is that Linux VDI is often free, though this isn't always the case -- most Linux VDI customers use paid versions of distributions, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and SUSE.\n\nHistorically, a lot of powerful workstation-type workloads run on Linux with applications that do serious 3D rendering or some form of big compute.\n\nSo, who buys Horizon for Linux? The short answer is that a lot of vertical markets use Linux on VDIs and VMware Workstation. Sun Microsystems used to cover this territory almost exclusively, but after its merger with Oracle in 2009, software vendors and customers were left scrambling to make up the difference. Linux provides an easier path for most applications developers to migrate to rather than Windows.\n\nLinux VDI under VMware\n\nVMware saw Sun's loss as an opportunity, picking up the pieces for major customers looking for an easy way to simultaneously move away from Sun's legacy platforms and virtualize.\n\nAt the same time, migrating to virtual desktops seemed like a no-brainer, especially where computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing and other sensitive or proprietary information is used. It is easier to restrict undesired operations in a VM than in a physical box.\n\nLinux on VDI is no longer the poor relation in terms of support for VDI.\n\nAlthough Linux on the desktop is pretty new, VMware has confirmed that it supports Linux VDI and aims to have a release every quarter that brings new functionality to the environment. Linux on VDI is no longer the poor relation in terms of support for VDI.\n\nIt is fair to say that the supported Linux VDI OS matrix is pretty small, with just a handful of supported distributions, including Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS, SUSE and NeoKylin, a popular Chinese language distribution.\n\nThe beauty of Linux VDI under VMware is that its connection options are fully supported with the Blast protocol rather than some arcane X11 virtual network computing-type viewer. This means you can access the Linux desktop anywhere, so long as you can connect Blast to it, providing a modern, responsive experience regardless of the connection device.\n\nThe current release of Horizon for Linux, version 7.2, supports cloning from snapshots. This brings Linux manageability into the same realm as Windows in terms of basic functionality.\n\nIf you intend to work with Linux on Horizon, we need to talk licensing. There is a separate stockkeeping unit for those who wish to run just Linux on Horizon. Purchasing the Enterprise version will provide an administrator with the ability to run both Windows and Linux in the same environment.\n\nTips for running Linux on Horizon\n\nFirst and foremost, in order to use Horizon for Linux you'll to have the latest version of Horizon, Horizon 7.2. This isn't just a suggestion, it's critical. Things in the Horizon for Linux space are moving so fast that there are major functionality additions even between sub point releases. For example, version 7.2 introduced full clone functionality.\n\nYou'll also need to be careful when setting up tools. Different distributions use either tools provided by VMware or open-vm-tools. Regardless of which you use, errors in the configuration process can cause a serious headache. I recommend consulting with the distribution vendor to see how they prefer tools to be configured.\n\nJust as with Windows VDI environments, don't mix multiple Linux distributions in the same VDI pools. Doing so will cause issues and is not recommended -- and perhaps not even supported -- by VMware.\n\nBe sure to correctly configure VM display settings, including video RAM; don't be afraid to refer to a support guide. You should also make certain that the domain name system (DNS) is working correctly. Don't leave your DNS to default to Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This is critical: If you want to integrate DNS into Active Directory (AD), you need to manually set your search domains in your DNS settings file. There is a known bug in the latest release of AD that will cause issues if not corrected before joining an AD domain. Both RHEL and CentOS require extra strings in VMX. RHEL has recommended settings for Linux on Horizon.\n\nA lot of Linux distributions -- Ubuntu in particular -- come with services that provide negligible benefits or are just unnecessary in a VDI environment. You can remove items such as Compiz, Bluetooth, Postfix and mdmonitor. Removing these services will reclaim some system resources. For example, removing Compiz will significantly improve system CPU load on the host. Removal varies from distribution to distribution, but disabling the services is a straightforward task.\n\nWhen adding new users, take care that their names don't clash with the names of existing users. This will cause all sorts of issues if you try to integrate with AD. This is one of the top causes of problems when setting up Horizon 7 on Linux.\n\nWhen it comes to the management side, however, there is still some work to be done. Horizon for Linux doesn't support instant clone technologies. Building Linux VDI desktops is very much reliant on old-fashioned bash scripting or external tools that are brought in-house.\n\nThis will change as time goes on. VMware is working hard to make the Linux VDI functionally equivalent to its Windows counterparts.\n\nNext Steps\n\nLinux VDI desktops are a niche market\n\nWhat features does Horizon", "base_doc": " clean energy are the environmental benefits as part of a global energy future.\u00a0\n\n\u201cWhile clean, renewable resources also preserve the world\u2019s natural resources, they also reduce the risk of environmental disasters, such as fuel spills or the problems associated with natural gas leaks,\u201d the article states. \u201cWith fuel diversification, through different power plants using different energy sources, it is possible to create reliable power supplies to enhance energy security, ensuring there is enough to meet our demands.\u201d\n\nWith that as a backdrop, Energy Fuels does much more than just product uranium, which is the fuel for nuclear energy, producing 50% of all clean, carbon-free electricity in the U.S. \u201cEnergy Fuels is proud to produce the raw materials that make numerous clean energy and advanced technologies possible, all in the U.S. at the highest global standards for health, safety and environmental protection,\u201d noted UUUU president and CEO Mark Chalmers ( In addition to producing uranium, the fuel for carbon- and emission-free nuclear energy, UUUU began operations to recover rare earth elements (\u201cREEs\u201d) in 2021, which are used in electric vehicles, renewable energy, batteries and other clean technologies.\u00a0\n\nAlso worth noting is that, in 2019, the company was the largest U.S. producer of vanadium, which is used in steel, high-strength alloys and grid-scale batteries. Finally, in addition to its efforts to produce material, Energy Fuels is committed to preserving global resources and addressing climate change through industry-leading recycling programs.\n\nNot a company to rest on its laurels, Energy Fuels is also exploring other business opportunities, including evaluation the recovery of medical isotopes for use in emerging cancer therapies from existing process streams.\u00a0\n\nEnergy Fuels is the leading U.S.-based uranium mining company, supplying U3O8 to major nuclear utilities. The company also produces vanadium from certain of its projects, as market conditions warrant, and began commercial production of REE carbonate in 2021. Its corporate offices are in Lakewood, Colorado, near Denver, and all of its assets and employees are in the United States.\n\nEnergy Fuels holds three of America\u2019s key uranium production centers: the White Mesa Mill in Utah, the Nichols Ranch in-situ recovery (\u201cISR\u201d) Project in Wyoming and the Alta Mesa ISR Project in Texas. The White Mesa Mill is the only conventional uranium mill operating in the U.S. today, has a licensed capacity of over 8 million pounds of U3O8 per year and has the ability to produce vanadium when market conditions warrant, as well as REE carbonate and uranium from various uranium-bearing ores. The Nichols Ranch ISR Project is currently on standby and has a licensed capacity of 2 million pounds of U3O8 per year. The Alta Mesa ISR Project is also on standby and has a licensed capacity of 1.5 million pounds of U3O8 per year.\n\n\nFor more information, visit the company\u2019s website at\n\n\nAbout MiningNewsWire\u00a0\n\n\n\nFor more information, please visit\n\n\nLos Angeles, California\n310.299.1717 Office\n\nMiningNewsWire is part of the InvestorBrandNetwork.\n\n\nSelect A Month\n\nContact us: (310) 299-1717<|endoftext|>Andrea Danti - Fotolia\n\n\nVMware brings Linux VDI out of obscurity with Horizon for Linux\n\nVMware takes advantage of Sun Microsystems' loss by bringing the once-niche Linux VDI out of the shadows and into the sun with Horizon 7 for Linux.\n\nAs most virtual desktop infrastructure personnel know, Horizon 7 is out in general availability and much has been written about it. What hasn't been covered as much is Horizon for Linux. For those unaware, there is now improved support for Linux VDI desktops. Sure, Linux virtual desktop infrastructure may seem niche, but it's out there and it works.\n\nSome of you may be wondering, why use Linux on virtual desktop infrastructure? The most obvious answer to that question is that Linux VDI is often free, though this isn't always the case -- most Linux VDI customers use paid versions of distributions, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and SUSE.\n\nHistorically, a lot of powerful workstation-type workloads run on Linux with applications that do serious 3D rendering or some form of big compute.\n\nSo, who buys Horizon for Linux? The short answer is that a lot of vertical markets use Linux on VDIs and VMware Workstation. Sun Microsystems used to cover this territory almost exclusively, but after its merger with Oracle in 2009, software vendors and customers were left scrambling to make up the difference. Linux provides an easier path for most applications developers to migrate to rather than Windows.\n\nLinux VDI under VMware\n\nVMware saw Sun's loss as an opportunity, picking up the pieces for major customers looking for an easy way to simultaneously move away from Sun's legacy platforms and virtualize.\n\nAt the same time, migrating to virtual desktops seemed like a no-brainer, especially where computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing and other sensitive or proprietary information is used. It is easier to restrict undesired operations in a VM than in a physical box.\n\nLinux on VDI is no longer the poor relation in terms of support for VDI.\n\nAlthough Linux on the desktop is pretty new, VMware has confirmed that it supports Linux VDI and aims to have a release every quarter that brings new functionality to the environment. Linux on VDI is no longer the poor relation in terms of support for VDI.\n\nIt is fair to say that the supported Linux VDI OS matrix is pretty small, with just a handful of supported distributions, including Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS, SUSE and NeoKylin, a popular Chinese language distribution.\n\nThe beauty of Linux VDI under VMware is that its connection options are fully supported with the Blast protocol rather than some arcane X11 virtual network computing-type viewer. This means you can access the Linux desktop anywhere, so long as you can connect Blast to it, providing a modern, responsive experience regardless of the connection device.\n\nThe current release of Horizon for Linux, version 7.2, supports cloning from snapshots. This brings Linux manageability into the same realm as Windows in terms of basic functionality.\n\nIf you intend to work with Linux on Horizon, we need to talk licensing. There is a separate stockkeeping unit for those who wish to run just Linux on Horizon. Purchasing the Enterprise version will provide an administrator with the ability to run both Windows and Linux in the same environment.\n\nTips for running Linux on Horizon\n\nFirst and foremost, in order to use Horizon for Linux you'll to have the latest version of Horizon, Horizon 7.2. This isn't just a suggestion, it's critical. Things in the Horizon for Linux space are moving so fast that there are major functionality additions even between sub point releases. For example, version 7.2 introduced full clone functionality.\n\nYou'll also need to be careful when setting up tools. Different distributions use either tools provided by VMware or open-vm-tools. Regardless of which you use, errors in the configuration process can cause a serious headache. I recommend consulting with the distribution vendor to see how they prefer tools to be configured.\n\nJust as with Windows VDI environments, don't mix multiple Linux distributions in the same VDI pools. Doing so will cause issues and is not recommended -- and perhaps not even supported -- by VMware.\n\nBe sure to correctly configure VM display settings, including video RAM; don't be afraid to refer to a support guide. You should also make certain that the domain name system (DNS) is working correctly. Don't leave your DNS to default to Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This is critical: If you want to integrate DNS into Active Directory (AD), you need to manually set your search domains in your DNS settings file. There is a known bug in the latest release of AD that will cause issues if not corrected before joining an AD domain. Both RHEL and CentOS require extra strings in VMX. RHEL has recommended settings for Linux on Horizon.\n\nA lot of Linux distributions -- Ubuntu in particular -- come with services that provide negligible benefits or are just unnecessary in a VDI environment. You can remove items such as Compiz, Bluetooth, Postfix and mdmonitor. Removing these services will reclaim some system resources. For example, removing Compiz will significantly improve system CPU load on the host. Removal varies from distribution to distribution, but disabling the services is a straightforward task.\n\nWhen adding new users, take care that their names don't clash with the names of existing users. This will cause all sorts of issues if you try to integrate with AD. This is one of the top causes of problems when setting up Horizon 7 on Linux.\n\nWhen it comes to the management side, however, there is still some work to be done. Horizon for Linux doesn't support instant clone technologies. Building Linux VDI desktops is very much reliant on old-fashioned bash scripting or external tools that are brought in-house.\n\nThis will change as time goes on. VMware is working hard to make the Linux VDI functionally equivalent to its Windows counterparts.\n\nNext Steps\n\nLinux VDI desktops are a niche market\n\nWhat features does Horizon 7 offer?\n\nCompare and contrast popular Linux distributions\n\nDig Deeper on VMware performance enhancements\n\nJoin the conversation\n\n\nSend me notifications when other members comment.\n\nPlease create a username to comment.\n\nWhat do you think is the most beneficial feature of Horizon for Linux?\nThis is typical big company marketing BS.

The B-side was an instrumental. I still have it, although I wouldn\u2019t deign to play it on any real turntable. Another that got a lot of play was Canned Heat\u2019s \u201cGoing Up the Country,\u201d which was backed with a fuzzed out, acid-rock version of the traditional blues song \u201cOne Kind Favor.\u201d\n\nDeep Purple's \"Kentucky Woman,\" written by Neil Diamond, was Schools's first 45.\n\nDeep Purple\u2019s \u201cKentucky Woman,\u201d written by Neil Diamond, was Schools\u2019s first 45.\n\nCollectors Weekly: I loved Canned Heat\u2019s version of that song.\n\nSchools: It\u2019s very hard to find on a record. I think what happened to me after listening to all that stuff a thousand times was that my parents couldn\u2019t handle the acid rock. So they began to encourage me to buy Creedence Clearwater Revival singles. I had a steady diet of one a month of those for years: \u201cProud Mary,\u201d \u201cUp Around the Bend,\u201d \u201cDown on the Corner,\u201d \u201cGreen River.\u201d Most people will say they started with The Beatles, but I didn\u2019t get Beatles exposure until I had a sleepover party in third or fourth grade. The \u201ctroubled\u201d kid brought over a cassette of \u201cSgt. Pepper\u2019s,\u201d and we listened to it. For us, it was like taking an acid trip, sitting up late at night, listening to it on one of those little, portable cassette players. We felt like we were doing something wrong just by listening to it. It was amazing.\n\nRight now I\u2019m really into original pressings of dub reggae, and I\u2019m not the only one. When I was a senior in high school and a freshman in college, reggae bands were the only ones other than punk rock and cover bands playing bars. The bands would hawk their 12-inch records in plain white sleeves at the shows. But the reggae records that are worth the most were pressed in Jamaica, where there was little or no quality control. The vinyl is crap, the labels are off-center and full of dimples, and, generally, the covers were handmade silkscreens. And if you look on the inside of the covers, you\u2019ll see that they were actually seconds of other covers. They\u2019d just flip the cover around and do another silkscreen on the other side.\n\nI could go on forever about the reasons why I like the sound of vinyl. Mostly it\u2019s visceral. There\u2019s a needle reading two sides of a groove wall that are actually peaks and valleys. It\u2019s like a mountain range that describes the sound, a geographical, topographical representation of the sound. It\u2019s the same way on a piece of magnetic tape. It\u2019s pieces of metal stuck to Mylar, peaks and valleys, not ones and zeroes.\n\nOne of Schools's favorite songs as a kid was \"One Kind Favor\" by Canned Heat.

I mean, God love you, Dr. Dre, you\u2019ve made some amazing music and some forward steps in the digital era, but that sound is fake. The bass you\u2019re hearing, if you listen to an MP3 through Beats headphones, is fake. I\u2019ve still got my Klipsch speakers from the \u201980s and an old Denon turntable with a good cartridge and a good tube amp. I was talking to someone in my house the other day, and she just stopped and said, \u201cWhy does this music sound so much better?\u201d It was that Kenny Dorham \u201cAfro-Cuban\u201d record from the \u201950s. And I said, \u201cWell, because you can feel it.\u201d That was really all I could say.\n\nCollectors Weekly: Do you think people also like vinyl because it feels handcrafted?\n\nSchools: Absolutely. You feel like there\u2019s been a human hand involved in its creation, not only of the record itself and the music, but even the packaging. You\u2019ve got a 12-by-12 inch chance for art. If it\u2019s a gatefold, you got a 24-by-12 inch chance, two sides\u2019 worth, plus the sleeves and labels. Some bands would insert posters and stickers in their albums. You just got a great package.\n\nThere\u2019s also a ritual about playing records. You\u2019ve got to get up and lift the needle and decide whether or not to flip the record to listen to the other side, or pick a new one. And there\u2019s a badge of honor that comes with being hip to something that you have to earn the money to go out and get. I had to deliver papers for a week to buy one record. I don\u2019t know if there\u2019s as much appreciation for something when you can just download an entire lifetime\u2019s worth of collecting in a matter of minutes.

Like I said, I still have the first 45 I ever got, although I can\u2019t listen to it because I didn\u2019t take good care of my stuff when I was a kid. But I love old records. I love the smell of them. The only thing I don\u2019t like about collecting records is how dirty my hands are after a couple of hours at a pawn shop in Omaha, going through crates. It\u2019s just like filthy, horrible, but I can put up with that.\n\nCollectors Weekly: Do you still hit local record shops when you are on the road?\n\nSchools: Yeah, especially when it\u2019s a side-project thing, like when I was out on tour with Mickey Hart.

It's worth reading.\n\n\nFrancis is the poster pope for progressives. But the canonisation of Jun\u00edpero Serra epitomises the Catholic history problem\n\n\"Nowhere is the church's denial better exemplified than in its drive to canonise the Franciscan missionary Jun\u00edpero Serra, whose 300th anniversary falls on Sunday. Serra's cult epitomises the Catholic problem with history \u2013 as well as the lies that underpin the founding myths of the United States.\n\nYou can find his statue on Capitol Hill, his face on postage stamps, and his name plastered across schools and streets and trails all over California. He was beatified by Pope John Paul II, after a nun was apparently cured of lupus, and now awaits a second miracle to become a saint. So what's the problem? Oh, just that he founded the system of labour camps that expedited California's cultural genocide.\n\nSerra personified the glitter-eyed fanaticism that blinded Catholic missionaries to the horrors they inflicted on the native peoples of the Americas. Working first in Mexico, then in Baja California (which is now part of Mexico), and then Alta California (now the US state of California), he presided over a system of astonishing brutality. Through various bribes and ruses Native Americans were enticed to join the missions he founded. Once they had joined, they were forbidden to leave. If they tried to escape, they were rounded up by soldiers then whipped by the missionaries. Any disobedience was punished by the stocks or the lash.\n\nThey were, according to a written complaint, forced to work in the fields from sunrise until after dark, and fed just a fraction of what was required to sustain them. Weakened by overwork and hunger, packed together with little more space than slave ships provided, they died, mostly of European diseases, in their tens of thousands.\n\nSerra's missions were an essential instrument of Spanish and then American colonisation. This is why so many Californian cities have saints' names: they were founded as missions. But in his treatment of the indigenous people, he went beyond even the grim demands of the crown. Felipe de Neve, a governor of the Californias, expressed his horror at Serra's methods, complaining that the fate of the missionised people was \"worse than that of slaves\".\u00a0\n\nAs Steven Hackel documents in his new biography, Serra sabotaged Neve's attempts to permit Native Americans a measure of self-governance, which threatened Serra's dominion over their lives.\n\nThe diverse, sophisticated and self-reliant people of California were reduced by the missions to desperate peonage. Between 1769, when Serra arrived in Alta California, and 1821 \u2013 when Spanish rule ended \u2013 its Native American population fell by one third, to 200,000.\n\nSerra's claim to sainthood can be sustained only by erasing the native peoples of California a second time, and there is a noisy lobby with this purpose.

Like my own piano teacher, Aube Tzerko, Fleisher studied with Artur Schnabel in Berlin until they all fled the Nazis. Schnabel was one of the giants of 20th century piano: passionate, humble, humorous, serious, refined, wild, without pretense, never dull. Many of his recordings are now available in a collection, \"Maestro Espressivo.\" Tzerko died in the 1990s and my last lesson with him was 30 years ago and I did not become a pianist by profession, but his spirit is with me. I think of him every day.\n\nLeon could not perform for 30 years after injuring his right hand through over-zealous practice. He began conducting, and his life took a new turn. The only thing more glorious than making music on a piano is having a whole orchestra do it for you; most concert pianists never make it to the podium. (Ashkenazy was an exception. Paderewski got to run a country \u2014 better still!) \"Suddenly, I realized that the most important thing in my life wasn't playing with my two hands: it was music,\" Leon wrote in the notes to tonight's concert. \"The instrumentation becomes unimportant, and it's the substance and the content that takes over.\"\n\nSubstance, not form, guided tonight's choice of pieces. The program was not one of the grab-bag \"surprise\" models, invented in the 19th century for enthusiastic but unsophisticated new concertgoers. The typical pastiche consists of three pieces from three different periods: a \"warm-up act\" of a little harmless something followed by a concerto, intermission, then a big romantic or modern piece. The concertgoer is thereby forced to listen to what he does often not wish to hear, in an earnest, heavy-handed attempt to educate him. Leon's program, by contrast, was sweetly rational:\n\nBoccherini: Symphony Opus 12 No. 4, \"The House of the Devil\"\n\nMozart: Piano Concerto in A, K 414\n\n\nMendelssohn, String Symphony No. 10 in B Minor\n\nHayden \"Farewell\" Symphony\n\nI had never heard any one of these pieces performed live although I have been attending concerts in America's two biggest cities for decades. What a pleasure to hear good music and share Hayden's little joke. I won't spoil it for you, as you may be lucky enough to hear it performed live some day.\n\nLeon has regained the use of his right hand after 30 years through a new medical treatment, and performed the piano concerto. Hearing him play is like breathing fresh sea air - I will not be a critic. He is on tour with the amazing young musicians of the Stuttgart; if they come to your town, do not on any account miss them.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nI have received many ironic comments about my speculations that a quantification of the point and figure approach might be particularly applicable to the Dow Jones. My speculation was prompted by the inordinate tendency of the Dow to bounce around the round numbers during the day. For example, during the last two days the Dow has broken above and below 12,300 by at last five points, 12 times on a intra day basis. I felt that there must be many who look inordinately for such reversals, and that they wouldn't come when the masses expected them. Indeed, it seemed guaranteed that there was a higher form of deception here, akin to what birds, fish, and mammals do all the time.\n\nTo get a feel for it, I decided to do a hand study of the Dow from the beginning of the year when the Dow conveniently started on 12 28 06 at 12,501. I decided to count only moves that went through a new round number of 50 or 100 using closing prices.\n\nTo quantify it, I decided to go back to my roots. One day, some 45-years ago in Lamont Library I was looking at some old journals, which in those days were bound conveniently for perusal on the second floor. I came across the Monthly Meteorological Review and saw an intriguing article by Jones on calculation of runs. It turned out he worked for Alfred Cowles at the Cowles Foundation. And Cowles divided the price moves into sequences and reversals.\n\nA sequence is a plus followed by a plus or a minus followed by a minus. A reversal is a plus followed by a minus or a minus followed by a plus. I must remark here that Cowles insights into stock price movements circa the 1910s and 1920s seem much superior to any I have come across in the many years since, among academics, except for those of my esteemed friend MFM Osborne.\n\nI decided not only to take into account the sequences and reversals but to quantify them by length. In particularl I have always felt that a series of prices ++++- was quit different in its predictivity than +-+-+-.\u00a0\n\nHere are some closing prices of the Dow from 1228\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Date \u00a0Closing \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Pos \u00a0 \u00a0 Pos \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Neg \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Neg\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 price \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0seq \u00a0 \u00a0 rev \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0seq \u00a0 \u00a0 rev\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 12 \u00a028 \u00a0 12501\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 12 \u00a029 \u00a0 12463\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 01 \u00a003 \u00a0 12474\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 01 \u00a004 \u00a0 12480\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 01 \u00a005 \u00a0 12398 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 1\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 01 \u00a008 \u00a0 12423\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 01 \u00a009 \u00a0 12416\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 01 \u00a011 \u00a0 12514 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 1\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 01 \u00a012 \u00a0 12582 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 2\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 01 \u00a022 \u00a0 12477 \u00a0", "base_doc": " advance things that are not in the public domain.

Wouldn't you like the prices of the goods and services you buy to go down?\n\nThe argument is made, though, that wages are sticky, and wages won't move down, so the net result is economic slowdown because wages are too high. Fine. If the economy is forecast to grow 4% this year, increase the money supply 4%.\n\n\n\n Stuttgart Chamber OrchestraI heard one of the greatest living musicians, Leon Fleisher, conducting and performing tonight with the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra at the Metropolitan Art Museum. Like my own piano teacher, Aube Tzerko, Fleisher studied with Artur Schnabel in Berlin until they all fled the Nazis. Schnabel was one of the giants of 20th century piano: passionate, humble, humorous, serious, refined, wild, without pretense, never dull. Many of his recordings are now available in a collection, \"Maestro Espressivo.\" Tzerko died in the 1990s and my last lesson with him was 30 years ago and I did not become a pianist by profession, but his spirit is with me. I think of him every day.\n\nLeon could not perform for 30 years after injuring his right hand through over-zealous practice. He began conducting, and his life took a new turn. The only thing more glorious than making music on a piano is having a whole orchestra do it for you; most concert pianists never make it to the podium. (Ashkenazy was an exception. Paderewski got to run a country \u2014 better still!) \"Suddenly, I realized that the most important thing in my life wasn't playing with my two hands: it was music,\" Leon wrote in the notes to tonight's concert. \"The instrumentation becomes unimportant, and it's the substance and the content that takes over.\"\n\nSubstance, not form, guided tonight's choice of pieces. The program was not one of the grab-bag \"surprise\" models, invented in the 19th century for enthusiastic but unsophisticated new concertgoers. The typical pastiche consists of three pieces from three different periods: a \"warm-up act\" of a little harmless something followed by a concerto, intermission, then a big romantic or modern piece. The concertgoer is thereby forced to listen to what he does often not wish to hear, in an earnest, heavy-handed attempt to educate him. Leon's program, by contrast, was sweetly rational:\n\nBoccherini: Symphony Opus 12 No. 4, \"The House of the Devil\"\n\nMozart: Piano Concerto in A, K 414\n\n\nMendelssohn, String Symphony No. 10 in B Minor\n\nHayden \"Farewell\" Symphony\n\nI had never heard any one of these pieces performed live although I have been attending concerts in America's two biggest cities for decades. What a pleasure to hear good music and share Hayden's little joke. I won't spoil it for you, as you may be lucky enough to hear it performed live some day.\n\nLeon has regained the use of his right hand after 30 years through a new medical treatment, and performed the piano concerto. Hearing him play is like breathing fresh sea air - I will not be a critic. He is on tour with the amazing young musicians of the Stuttgart; if they come to your town, do not on any account miss them.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nI have received many ironic comments about my speculations that a quantification of the point and figure approach might be particularly applicable to the Dow Jones. My speculation was prompted by the inordinate tendency of the Dow to bounce around the round numbers during the day. For example, during the last two days the Dow has broken above and below 12,300 by at last five points, 12 times on a intra day basis. I felt that there must be many who look inordinately for such reversals, and that they wouldn't come when the masses expected them. Indeed, it seemed guaranteed that there was a higher form of deception here, akin to what birds, fish, and mammals do all the time.\n\nTo get a feel for it, I decided to do a hand study of the Dow from the beginning of the year when the Dow conveniently started on 12 28 06 at 12,501. I decided to count only moves that went through a new round number of 50 or 100 using closing prices.\n\nTo quantify it, I decided to go back to my roots. One day, some 45-years ago in Lamont Library I was looking at some old journals, which in those days were bound conveniently for perusal on the second floor. I came across the Monthly Meteorological Review and saw an intriguing article by Jones on calculation of runs. It turned out he worked for Alfred Cowles at the Cowles Foundation. And Cowles divided the price moves into sequences and reversals.\n\nA sequence is a plus followed by a plus or a minus followed by a minus. A reversal is a plus followed by a minus or a minus followed by a plus. I must remark here that Cowles insights into stock price movements circa the 1910s and 1920s seem much superior to any I have come across in the many years since, among academics, except for those of my esteemed friend MFM Osborne.\n\nI decided not only to take into account the sequences and reversals but to quantify them by length. In particularl I have always felt that a series of prices ++++- was quit different in its predictivity than +-+-+-.\u00a0\n\nHere are some closing prices of the Dow from 1228\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Date \u00a0Closing \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Pos \u00a0 \u00a0 Pos \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Neg \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Neg\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 price \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0seq \u00a0 \u00a0 rev \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0seq \u00a0 \u00a0 rev\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 12 \u00a028 \u00a0 12501\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 12 \u00a029 \u00a0 12463\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 01 \u00a003 \u00a0 12474\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 01 \u00a004 \u00a0 12480\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 01 \u00a005 \u00a0 12398 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 1\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 01 \u00a008 \u00a0 12423\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 01 \u00a009 \u00a0 12416\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 01 \u00a011 \u00a0 12514 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 1\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 01 \u00a012 \u00a0 12582 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 2\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 01 \u00a022 \u00a0 12477 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a01\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 01 \u00a024 \u00a0 12621 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 1\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 01 \u00a025 \u00a0 12502 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 1\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 01 \u00a026 \u00a0 12487", "perturbation_file": "privacy_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 70230, "pt_loc": 165046361, "pt_shuffle_idx": 2500508, "doc_index_f": 3921100, "doc_index_l": 3921100, "offset_f": 2731, "offset_l": 4779, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 84, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": " simulator because they are also tasked to deliver high value and precious cargo considering that real-life truck drivers do this on a regular basis where they have to cover long distances across the country.

Moses began the Aaronic priesthood which was temporary under the law (Lev.9; Numb.8:20-26; Heb.9:19-22).

Moses (Ex.24:7-8; Lev.8:19) Jesus (Heb.9,12:24; 1Pt.1:2)\n\n27 Both were sent by God to reveal His name, person and law to the people. To Moses God said to tell them I Am sent you.

The problem with this is that, unlike Crusader Kings 2, the dialogue is all there in the game. CK2 gives you choices and lets you mentally expand upon them because it doesn't give you much concrete dialogue. TOR gives you choices, yes, but also shows you exactly what your character is saying and how people are responding. The fact that they are giving you so much explicit information about what's happening means that you cannot\u00a0use your imagination without overriding a huge amount of the data given to you - at which point the game's story becomes a total hindrance, not a guiding set of rules.

They gave you the characters and the events, and you (as a viewer) assembled them into a coherent story with your imagination. \u00a0Emergent stories work exactly the same way.\n\nThe issue is that each type of game needs to play to its strength: if a game is going to be a movie, it should be a REALLY GOOD movie. If a game is going to be an exercise in decision-making, it should cover all the potential details and really let you get into the universe instead of throwing 2 or 3 pathetic options at you that don't mean anything. An orchestrated story is like a concert, whereas an emergent narrative is like an instrument. It's okay if you spend a bunch of money on an instrument and can't play it perfectly the first time, because the process of discovery and putting songs together is part of the experience. It's NOT okay if you spend money on a concert and the musicians are doing the same thing, because the fact that they're professionals and you're paying for a completed product totally changes the product. The quality of the work needs to drastically make up for the lack of interaction.\n\nWhat I'd like you to take from this article, meandering as it is, is that if you're going to make a game, make it good at what it does. If a game is a movie & gameplay, both of those need to be as good as they can be. If a game is trying to get the player involved in the story, their choices need to be as important as they can be made. This idea of accepting sub-par products because \"it's all we can do, that's just what games are!\" needs to stop.\u00a0If you're going to make a story game, make it really good at telling a story. If you're going to make a game for the gameplay, then make it really good.\u00a0Different philosophies are great. Different types of games are great. Lowering standards because \"it's just a game\" is why nobody takes the medium seriously.\n\n\n 1. Some games can pull off immersion in a \"meta\" sense. One game I repeatedly endorse is the PS2 game Ace Combat 04, for the reason that its narrative ties into the gameplay experience in a way that the books and movies can't. The player is never referenced by name, but is also never seen in cutscenes; in fact, the cutscenes focus on the story of the antagonists. The great part about this is that the player isn't told whose story is being viewed until about a third of the way through the game. (Sharper players can figure it out sooner. I didn't.)\n\n While it's still a strictly linear game progression, it's interesting because the player doesn't get much backstory for his avatar, except for the in-game chatter exclaiming that he's male and he's a remarkable pilot. You're essentially playing a \"villain\" to the story of the game, which can be satisfyingly unnerving, as the Ace Combat games regularly denounce war in their in-game narratives. The linearity of the game also plays to a sort of dramatic irony, as you know that in order to see the ending, you will have to shoot down the planes of the characters you're identifying with.\n\n I don't know of any other examples like this (so far) but it's long been my favorite example of a metafiction in interactive narratives.\n\n 1. Actually, the \"viewpoint\" of AC04 is a young boy who's actually \"on your side\", as it were. While he speaks to the villain and humanizes them through his interaction, they are still obviously \"the bad guys\" (or at least \"the aggressors\"), and Mobius One is a hero fighting to defend his country against an undoubtedly unjust regime. The Yellow Squadron is depicted nobly, but not as being GOOD, just as being decent and honorable.\n\n And, again, your actions in the game don't change anything. No matter who you shoot down, which plane it is, it's going to end up being The Female Yellow Squadron Pilot, and her plane's not going to be able to make it back. You can't change anything through your actions. What's funny is that while Ace Combat Zero had a \"branching\" system (Knight/Soldier/Mercenary), it was changed through relatively mundane gameplay actions and tradeoffs: not KILL BABIES versus SAVE ORPHANS, but instead \"spare wounded plane\" versus \"destroy wounded plane and get more money from the bounty\". It wasn't perfect, or even really natural, but it was a scenario in which the way you played the game actually mattered.\n\n 2. Oh, no, I wasn't suggesting that the ACO4 narrative made gameplay itself worthwhile, I was citing it as a game where the strong part of the narrative comes from being unable to experience the narrative in a way that wasn't a game.\n\n I dumbed down the plot points to make the point; basically there's no way to feel as involved in the narrative of AC04 WITHOUT playing AC04 as a game. If it were a book, it wouldn't have the same emotional impact because you, as a reader, weren't involved in the game's events in the act of reading. The same goes if it were a film or song; the game's interactivity, however linear, is completely what makes the story worthwhile.\n\n This is different from other games like Uncharted, Assassin's Creed, or even AC5. The protagonist of the game really is \"the player,\" even if it's as a predetermined character and not as someone sitting on a couch. I'm suggesting that there are more ways for linear games to be considered \"artful\" rather than just having solid gameplay and cinematics.\n\n 3. Oh, yes, that's certainly true. The sense of responsibility of \"being in the driver's seat\" certainly plays a role compared to being a passive observer, but at the same time that level of control unfortunately means that you can be a total dickwad (pardon my language) and nobody really notices.\n\n I was thinking about this with regards to Red Dead Redemption, where John Marston is obviously his own character, and you're sort of piloting him around, but at the same time the fact that you \"are\" him, as it were, gives a different relationship than if you were just observing him. You can look at things like how he talks to people on the street (as per the award-winning documentary \"\u00a1Hola Se\u00f1ora!\" and that deepens your understanding of his personality, yet at the same time HE'S not the one driving - YOU are. It's weird.\n\n 2.

No matter who you shoot down, which plane it is, it's going to end up being The Female Yellow Squadron Pilot, and her plane's not going to be able to make it back. You can't change anything through your actions. What's funny is that while Ace Combat Zero had a \"branching\" system (Knight/Soldier/Mercenary), it was changed through relatively mundane gameplay actions and tradeoffs: not KILL BABIES versus SAVE ORPHANS, but instead \"spare wounded plane\" versus \"destroy wounded plane and get more money from the bounty\". It wasn't perfect, or even really natural, but it was a scenario in which the way you played the game actually mattered.\n\n 2. Oh, no, I wasn't suggesting that the ACO4 narrative made gameplay itself worthwhile, I was citing it as a game where the strong part of the narrative comes from being unable to experience the narrative in a way that wasn't a game.\n\n I dumbed down the plot points to make the point; basically there's no way to feel as involved in the narrative of AC04 WITHOUT playing AC04 as a game. If it were a book, it wouldn't have the same emotional impact because you, as a reader, weren't involved in the game's events in the act of reading. The same goes if it were a film or song; the game's interactivity, however linear, is completely what makes the story worthwhile.\n\n This is different from other games like Uncharted, Assassin's Creed, or even AC5. The protagonist of the game really is \"the player,\" even if it's as a predetermined character and not as someone sitting on a couch. I'm suggesting that there are more ways for linear games to be considered \"artful\" rather than just having solid gameplay and cinematics.\n\n 3. Oh, yes, that's certainly true. The sense of responsibility of \"being in the driver's seat\" certainly plays a role compared to being a passive observer, but at the same time that level of control unfortunately means that you can be a total dickwad (pardon my language) and nobody really notices.\n\n I was thinking about this with regards to Red Dead Redemption, where John Marston is obviously his own character, and you're sort of piloting him around, but at the same time the fact that you \"are\" him, as it were, gives a different relationship than if you were just observing him. You can look at things like how he talks to people on the street (as per the award-winning documentary \"\u00a1Hola Se\u00f1ora!\" and that deepens your understanding of his personality, yet at the same time HE'S not the one driving - YOU are. It's weird.\n\n 2. I was going back over some DICE coverage (finally catching up with the talks this year I hadn't had time to check out) and walked right into the following only hours after reading this piece:\n\n Unless I completely got the wrong end of the stick (but I think it was sold quite clearly in the talk), can you see how linear stories with psychological hooks (story arcs which create incomplete purchases from each bit of DLC you buy) to get people to keep buying the new DLC are being sold (by the EA guy) as a great driver of an open world environment. The real non-linear content comes from the emergent gameplay (with systemic game design) that has nothing to do with constantly trying to sell a person the next chunk of linear content for your world.\n\n Building an open world with linear story (GTA, Elder Scrolls being two great examples) are narratively linear when you're writing the story (even if you can approach a lot of the content in the order of your choice). The non-linear content is the emergent activities, walking the earth or enjoying the city simulation.

They aren\u2019t a majority of the business class, but they are a large enough minority to rule. [Johnson] has the mandate of the referendum, and even though he no longer has a majority in Parliament, he will continue to push for Brexit unless and until there is a new election and he loses it.\n\nHow has Johnson and this new right won electoral support in Britain?\n\nThey\u2019ve used Brexit, xenophobia and Islamophobia as false solutions to real problems in society and have succeeded in creating a real electoral bloc. The majority of people who voted for Brexit were relatively rich: Brexit won in the wealthier areas of Britain, in seats that always vote Conservative.\n\nThe right also won a minority of the working class who were dependent on social welfare benefits and who had suffered severe cuts after the Great Recession. The right convinced them that they could protect their benefits by restricting immigration, and in particular, Muslim immigration.\n\nFor example, the official Leave camp\u2019s main leaflet said that unless you vote for Brexit, the U.K. will be in the European Union with Turkey, a Muslim country. Turkey isn\u2019t a member of the EU and won\u2019t be any time soon, but the Leave camp claimed that millions of Muslims would come to Britain with their Muslim culture and take away British workers\u2019 benefits. It even had arrows pointing from Turkey to Britain to make the threat of Muslim migration explicit.\n\nThe new authoritarian right is doing the same thing in every country. Increasingly, they are collaborating internationally in pursuing this program. That\u2019s why Trump and others have supported Johnson\u2019s authoritarian drive to push through Brexit. They see it as a way to pull politics further to the right throughout the world.\n\nBrexit has provoked a crisis not only in the Conservative Party, but also in Labour. How have Corbyn and Labour positioned themselves on the question? What traps does the Party face?\n\nThe Labour Party strategy on Brexit has gone through two stages. Up until the European elections earlier this year, its basic approach was to say, \u201cLet\u2019s not talk about Brexit, let\u2019s make politics about everything else. If we take a hard position either for or against leaving the EU, then we will lose people who might otherwise vote for Labour. We must prevent politics being reduced to Brexit.\u201d\n\nThat approach did relatively well in the 2017 general election, but it did exceptionally badly in this year\u2019s European election. It was not attractive to either side of the Brexit debate; it alienated both leave and remain voters. The more Brexit became the central question of British politics, the less it seemed that Labour had anything to say.\n\nSince Johnson has prorogued Parliament, the Labour Party shifted their position to a soft remain stance. That, combined with their opposition to Johnson\u2019s authoritarian way of ruling, has increased their popularity. While the Tories are ahead in the polls, their lead is down in some polls to 3 or 5 percent, which is narrow enough for Labour to head into an election with some possibility of winning.\n\nBut Labour faces traps in becoming a party committed to the remain camp. While this improves its standing with remain voters, it risks losing the support of the leave camp and permanently losing the support of a group of voters who had previously been Labour identifiers.\n\nLabour fell into a similar trap in Scotland during the [2014] independence referendum. It faced an insurgent movement for independence, but the party opposed it and defended the existing order. In the process, it lost its entire working-class base to the Scottish National Party. The politics of Scottish independence and Brexit are not the same, but it would be a mistake if Labour felt like a party of the bad old ways rather than a party of change.\n\nLabour faces other classic traps that have waylaid social democratic parties in the past. It could get caught in forming a government of national unity with parties to its right. Even if Corbyn wins a Labour majority \u2014 which seems unlikely \u2014 he would face real challenges in implementing his program. Only a small minority of Labour Parliament members are unambiguously on his side and will be forced to accommodate the party\u2019s centrist wing.\n\nThis raises one of the points that you make in your book \u2014 that it\u2019s not possible to stop the rise of the new right through the establishment parties and their status quo program. Why?\n\nThe right won the Brexit referendum, in part, by winning over a section of the working class suffering under neoliberalism and austerity. They offered a reactionary answer \u2014 stopping immigration \u2014 to problems such as the dramatic reduction of benefits since 2008.\n\nYou can\u2019t win those voters back defending the status quo that\u2019s ruining their lives, lowering their living standards and cutting their benefits. If you say to them: \u201cBrexit, or a no-deal Brexit, would cut your living standards by 5 percent,\u201d their answer will be: \u201cI\u2019ve lost more than 5 percent already.\u201d That\u2019s what the remain campaign said back in 2016, and that\u2019s why it lost.\n\nInstead you have to present a radical alternative to both the establishment parties\u2019 neoliberalism and the right\u2019s nationalist bigotry. You have to say, \u201cWe are absolutely committed to increasing your benefits, increasing your standard of living, and we will do that every year without fail.\u201d And you have to challenge the racism, which the right uses to deflect blame from the system onto its victims.\n\nDoing both is the only way you can defeat the new authoritarians. Corbyn\u2019s Labour Party managed to do this at least for a while. He had real answers to real problems facing the working class; he challenged police racism, called attention to the housing crisis and campaigned for jobs. That\u2019s why Labour did so well in the 2017 election.\n\nBut since Brexit has become the center of British politics, it has pushed those questions to the side and made it much harder for Corbyn and his allies in the Labour Party to put forward those social democratic answers. Even worse, he\u2019s compromised on questions of migration. As a result, he looks less convincing than he did a couple of years ago.\n\nFinally, Brexit has confounded the radical left, splitting it between remain and leave, and made it unable to put forth a viable alternative in the crisis. Why is this the case and what should the left do now?\n\nWe should start with honesty about the state of the [U.K.\u2019s] far left. It\u2019s very different than the left in the U.S., which is relatively united against Trump, whatever strategic differences various currents have about the Democratic Party. The left has helped build a broad united resistance to Trump\u2019s racism, sexism and immigrant bashing.\n\nThe situation in Britain on the left is different. We are in the midst of a culture war over Brexit, and instead of uniting the left, that conflict has split the left down the middle, with equal numbers for leave and for remain. Each side assesses the issue in diametrically opposed ways.\n\nSocialists who tactically opposed Brexit see leave supporters making concession to the right. Many of those who supported a left exit downplayed the xenophobia and Islamophobia that surrounded the referendum, and others have done far worse.\n\nFor example, some former members of the Communist Party have become full-time workers for the right, laundering money from right-wing millionaires into fake \u201csocialist\u201d or \u201ctrade union\u201d campaigns for leave. There are even former Trotskyists running as candidates for far-right parties. It\u2019s shameful to watch them playing up their previous histories on the left.\n\nConversely, socialists who supported leave in order to oppose the neoliberal takeover of EU look askance at the left in the remain camp. They point out how left remainers fail to criticize the EU\u2019s undemocratic nature, its commitment to neoliberalism and austerity and its complicity in the drowning of thousands of migrants in the Mediterranean.\n\nLeft remainers will make these criticisms, but privately \u2014 only among friends. They fail to campaign around them; they have very little sense of how to make the EU reform.\n\nSuch deep disagreements on the far left has made it very difficult to unite it on almost anything. This division will not be overcome through programs, but in action on the street. We saw modest but real reasons for hope when almost the whole far left supported the protests in opposition to Johnson\u2019s proroguing Parliament.\n\nWith that immediate struggle dying down, there are some other battles where a new unity could be built. It could develop around campaigns in defense of our friends and", "base_doc": " finance capitalists, and the sorts of global plutocrats that own, for example, our newspapers.

It could develop around campaigns in defense of our friends and neighbors who are facing the risk of deportation in the event of Brexit. It\u2019s up to the left to defend them \u2014 to protest against the Home Office; to occupy the airports.\n\nYou can also see glimmers of hope in the climate justice movement, which is developing into a powerful and exciting struggle. It began with school student strikes, developed into Extinction Rebellion, and now our trade union federation, the Trades Union Congress, has called for 30-minute actions in all the organized workplaces across the country for the September 20 climate strike. Unity on the left and the forging of a new political alternative to the left of Labour will only come through such struggles.<|endoftext|>Cracked Sketches\n\nHow The Kendall Jenner Pepsi Ad Got Made\u00a0(writer)\n\nParty Anxiety (writer)\n\nThe Pregnancy Reaction Videos You Won't See (writer)\n\nOne Time Napoleon Got Viciously Attacked By Bunnies\n\nThe Hidden Hell Behind The Pillsdairy Battery Commercial (writer)\n\nWhy You're Not Really An Introvert (writer/actor)", "perturbation_file": "privacy_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 76774, "pt_loc": 140490094, "pt_shuffle_idx": 160083450, "doc_index_f": 250940461, "doc_index_l": 250940462, "offset_f": 1201, "offset_l": 91, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 234, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [1957, 92]} +{"pt_doc": "itron Emission Particle Tracking (PEPT) was advised to quantify the relationship.\nA well-known electrical concept called skin effect, which describes how the effective resistance of an electrical conductor varies as the frequency of an alternating current (AC) increases and decreases, was used to investigate GLS behaviour via a novel ERT spectroscopic technique.

Appointed by the legislature for an indefinite term, the coroner's primary charge was \"to take inquests of felonies and other violent and casual deaths committed or happening within his precincts.\" The moment he learned of a suspicious or sudden death in his district (later his county), he was \"forthwith\" to write constables in the local area and direct them to round up a fourteen-member jury who were to meet him at the body's location at a specified day and time. Once arrived, the coroner administered an oath compelling the jury to reach a verdict as to \"how, where, at what time, by what means, with what instrument, and in what manner, the party was killed or came to his death.\" To ensure that all available evidence had been heard, the coroner was empowered to compel witnesses to attend the inquest and \"declare their knowledge concerning the matter in question.\" If they failed to show, they would face a fine. If the body had been moved, the coroner was to find out who moved it and why. If the body had been buried, the coroner was empowered to dig it up. Colonial instructions were so specific that if the probable cause of death was snake-bite, the coroner was to make sure that there were bite marks.\n\n\nThe first substantial revision to the 1706 act did not come until 1839. In many ways a restatement of the colonial statute, \"An Act Concerning the Office, Duties and Liabilities of the Coroner\" (1839) included some new limits on the coroner's office while at the same time expanding its powers. Appointed by joint resolution of the state Senate and House of Representatives, coroners were now subject to term limits of four years, and they were required to lodge a surety bond of five thousand dollars before they could take office. Such bonds were expected of most public officials and were designed to protect taxpayers from embezzlement or malfeasance. In practical effect, the bonds ensured that coroners would be men of relative affluence who could be expected to make good on a $5000 bond.\n\nWith these exceptions, the 1839 act was mostly a clarification and expansion of the coroner's powers. For the first time, he was explicitly given an office for his own use at the county court house. Any constable or sheriff who did not comply with a coroner's order to impanel a jury would be fined twenty dollars. Any juror who failed to show at the inquest would be fined twenty dollars. Any witness who failed to appear or refused to testify at an inquest would be fined twenty dollars and would be taken to jail. Most important, \"if the finding of inquest be wilful [sic] killing by the hands or means of another,\" the coroner was empowered to direct any sheriff or local constable to have the suspect arrested and imprisoned. To ensure that he would have access to such prisoners, the act specified that \"the Sheriff of each District shall set apart in the jail room for the confinement of such persons as may be exclusively in custody of the Coroner, of which the Coroner shall have exclusive control.\"\n\n\nBy 1839, then, the coroner had become a key figure not merely in the state's system of death investigation but in law enforcement and the judicial process more broadly. His functions were not merely clerical -- the convening of an inquest and the filing of a result -- but judicial -- levying fines, compelling witnesses, making arrests, and building the state's initial case against the accused. He functioned, in a sense, as a sheriff of the dead, with primary control over potential criminal cases in which, by accident or malice aforethought, someone had been killed.\n\nWith this expansion of powers came an expansion of compensation. Coroners were to be paid not only for every inquisition taken but for every mile traveled, warrant issued, person arrested, or body disinterred. More important for the purposes of CSI:D, coroners were encouraged to keep extensive and duplicative records. As before, all original inquest documents, including all evidence gathered from witnesses, were to be filed with the Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas. But coroners were also required to transcribe every word of those documents into a \"book to be called 'The Coroner's Book of Inquisitions,\" which would remain in the coroner's office to be transferred to the next coroner at the start of his term. To compensate coroners for all of this transcription, they were to be paid \"twelve cents per copy sheet of ninety words,\" thus incentivizing them to capture additional details (and additional revenue). From the historian's perspective this requirement is also important because it gives us two chances that the records would survive and, in cases where both survived, to check them against each other for completeness. The coroner's office would receive additional statutory tweaks after 1839, but this one act largely captured the design and function of the office as it appears in CSI:D, with the only big change coming in 1868 when coroner became an elective office state wide.\n\nThe 1839 act described the coroner's office in idealized form, however. In practice, many inquests were presided over not by the district's official coroner but by justices of the quorum, justices of the peace, or other local magistrates acting as coroners. Usually this was a simple matter of convenience -- cases where the official coroner had not been named by the legislature or was away from the district or simply did not want to travel to some particular location. There is some evidence, however, that occasionally local magistrates took these on duties (and the related fees) without official sanction.

The process relies on the change in effective resistance of conducting objects with changing AC frequency to selectively detect different phases. The concept was initially validated with static phantoms of a stainless steel and plume of gas before being applied to dispersible stainless steel particles and gas. ERT spectroscopy showed that two AC frequencies (0.3 kHz and 9.6 kHz) could successfully isolate and simultaneously detect the gas and solid phases at a fixed current. By subtracting solids and gas conductivity, the change in solids and gas holdup were obtained.\n\nType of Work:Eng.D. thesis.\nSupervisor(s):Simmons, Mark J.

Appointed by the legislature for an indefinite term, the coroner's primary charge was \"to take inquests of felonies and other violent and casual deaths committed or happening within his precincts.\" The moment he learned of a suspicious or sudden death in his district (later his county), he was \"forthwith\" to write constables in the local area and direct them to round up a fourteen-member jury who were to meet him at the body's location at a specified day and time. Once arrived, the coroner administered an oath compelling the jury to reach a verdict as to \"how, where, at what time, by what means, with what instrument, and in what manner, the party was killed or came to his death.\" To ensure that all available evidence had been heard, the coroner was empowered to compel witnesses to attend the inquest and \"declare their knowledge concerning the matter in question.\" If they failed to show, they would face a fine. If the body had been moved, the coroner was to find out who moved it and why. If the body had been buried, the coroner was empowered to dig it up. Colonial instructions were so specific that if the probable cause of death was snake-bite, the coroner was to make sure that there were bite marks.\n\n\nThe first substantial revision to the 1706 act did not come until 1839. In many ways a restatement of the colonial statute, \"An Act Concerning the Office, Duties and Liabilities of the Coroner\" (1839) included some new limits on the coroner's office while at the same time expanding its powers. Appointed by joint resolution of the state Senate and House of Representatives, coroners were now subject to term limits of four years, and they were required to lodge a surety bond of five thousand dollars before they could take office. Such bonds were expected of most public officials and were designed to protect taxpayers from embezzlement or malfeasance. In practical effect, the bonds ensured that coroners would be men of relative affluence who could be expected to make good on a $5000 bond.\n\nWith these exceptions, the 1839 act was mostly a clarification and expansion of the coroner's powers. For the first time, he was explicitly given an office for his own use at the county court house. Any constable or sheriff who did not comply with a coroner's order to impanel a jury would be fined twenty dollars. Any juror who failed to show at the inquest would be fined twenty dollars. Any witness who failed to appear or refused to testify at an inquest would be fined twenty dollars and would be taken to jail. Most important, \"if the finding of inquest be wilful [sic] killing by the hands or means of another,\" the coroner was empowered to direct any sheriff or local constable to have the suspect arrested and imprisoned. To ensure that he would have access to such prisoners, the act specified that \"the Sheriff of each District shall set apart in the jail room for the confinement of such persons as may be exclusively in custody of the Coroner, of which the Coroner shall have exclusive control.\"\n\n\nBy 1839, then, the coroner had become a key figure not merely in the state's system of death investigation but in law enforcement and the judicial process more broadly. His functions were not merely clerical -- the convening of an inquest and the filing of a result -- but judicial -- levying fines, compelling witnesses, making arrests, and building the state's initial case against the accused. He functioned, in a sense, as a sheriff of the dead, with primary control over potential criminal cases in which, by accident or malice aforethought, someone had been killed.\n\nWith this expansion of powers came an expansion of compensation. Coroners were to be paid not only for every inquisition taken but for every mile traveled, warrant issued, person arrested, or body disinterred. More important for the purposes of CSI:D, coroners were encouraged to keep extensive and duplicative records. As before, all original inquest documents, including all evidence gathered from witnesses, were to be filed with the Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas. But coroners were also required to transcribe every word of those documents into a \"book to be called 'The Coroner's Book of Inquisitions,\" which would remain in the coroner's office to be transferred to the next coroner at the start of his term. To compensate coroners for all of this transcription, they were to be paid \"twelve cents per copy sheet of ninety words,\" thus incentivizing them to capture additional details (and additional revenue). From the historian's perspective this requirement is also important because it gives us two chances that the records would survive and, in cases where both survived, to check them against each other for completeness. The coroner's office would receive additional statutory tweaks after 1839, but this one act largely captured the design and function of the office as it appears in CSI:D, with the only big change coming in 1868 when coroner became an elective office state wide.\n\nThe 1839 act described the coroner's office in idealized form, however. In practice, many inquests were presided over not by the district's official coroner but by justices of the quorum, justices of the peace, or other local magistrates acting as coroners. Usually this was a simple matter of convenience -- cases where the official coroner had not been named by the legislature or was away from the district or simply did not want to travel to some particular location. There is some evidence, however, that occasionally local magistrates took these on duties (and the related fees) without official sanction. In 1861, for instance, the state legislature mandated that anyone presenting an invoice for an inquest would have to include an affidavit verifying that the appointed coroner had been sick, absent, or otherwise unable to attend to his duties. This law was in keeping with an earlier 1855 injunction on coroners to limit their use of physicians as expert (and compensated) witnesses to those cases in which such testimony was crucial to establishing a cause of death. Such laws were clearly meant to curb costs, and one can imagine that, like any public office, the coroner system had become prone to abuse -- with collusions between physicians and magistrates hoping to line their pockets.\n\nThe Richmond Times Dispatch served up a particularly good example of \"if it bleeds it leads\" journalism on October 4, 1903.\n\n\nNo direct evidence places a reporter at any of the inquests in the CSI:D sample, but subsequent coverage makes it clear that they were privy to all details, including witness testimony, even in criminal cases. Nothing, apparently, was 'sealed' about an inquest and, perhaps more than trials, inquests were a staple of Southern reportage.

Here are 7 helpful tips\n\n Posted by Charli McKenzie\n\n Sometimes, when you are deep in the throes of parenting a 2-year-old, you can wonder: Dear Lord, will this ever end? For most of us, there IS a respite. It's called 8 p.m. It's that blessed time of day when your toddler is suddenly quiet and you can peek in, see her angelic sleeping face, and know you have the strength to do it all over again.\n\n Yes, moms and dads NEED that time from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. So what happens when your good baby sleeper suddenly stops sleeping? Or worse, what if you NEVER had a good sleeper to begin with?\n\n There are some sleep issues that need to be addressed now so that they might not get worse down the line. Dr. Hannah Chow is a pediatrician at Loyola University Health System who is an expert on kids and sleep. She says:\n\n \"Lack of sleep can cause a lot of stress and difficulty for a child. Kids can have a hard time concentrating, which causes problems in school. There can be physical complications, such as headaches, and it can even cause a child to have a more negative outlook on life.\" Yep. Sleep matters. So how do we fix common sleep problems? The Stir talked exclusively to several sleep experts to give us insight into the 7 most common toddler sleep issues and how we can combat them. See below:\n\n 1.) Waking up bright and early:\u00a0\"A reasonable wake-up time for a child is anywhere from 5:30-7 a.m., but some children are up before that time wide awake or their wake up time is too early for mom and dad,\" says Jenn Kelner, a Certified Child Sleep Consultant who runs a business called BabyZzz.\n\n Solution:\u00a0\"Room darkening shades to block out morning light, white-noise machines to block out morning street noise, a timed light or child alarm clock that changes color when it\u2019s time to get up, and an earlier bedtime. It\u2019s counter-intuitive, but the earlier a child goes to bed, the later they will sleep in.\" Amen. I saw it with my own kids. Now sleep mom and dad!\n\n 2.) Giving up the nap when they still need it:\u00a0If your child misses a nap because of older siblings' activities or for some other reason, it actually becomes HARDER for them to nap. Over time, this overtiredness has a cumulative effect, which may cause the child to refuse to nap altogether.\n\n Solution:\u00a0\"Start an earlier bedtime to help make up that sleep deficit and make it easier to nap,\" says Kelner. \"Get the child outdoors in the morning for fresh air and exercise, very soothing routine before naptime, and leave the child for 60 minutes to give them the opportunity to fall asleep without stimulation. Once the nap has been re-established, bedtime can be moved a little later.\"\n\n 3.) Difficulties in falling asleep:\u00a0\"Many children have difficultly falling asleep on their own if they have been used to being rocked to sleep, or if they have been falling asleep next to their parents,\" Kelner says.\n\n\n 4.) Getting up in the middle of the night:\u00a0Waking during the night is normal, but it becomes a problem when the child cannot return to sleep unassisted, Kelner says. It's especially hard if the child calls out for mom and dad and everyone is losing sleep.\n\n Solution: \"Have a consistent soothing routine in place to get the child nice and drowsy. Ensure the child is getting enough sleep, as over-tiredness leads to frequent night waking,\" says Kelner. \"Make sure the child is able to self-soothe, and implement some sleep training/coaching if necessary.\"\n\n 5.) Asking for mom and dad 15 times after \"good night\":\n\n \u00a0\"During your soothing routine, set a kitchen timer for 15 minutes, and explain that once the timer goes off, it\u2019s time to say a final goodnight,\" says Kelner. \"Ensure that before the timer goes off, you anticipate what that child may ask for -- so get them a drink, take them to the bathroom, and give the child lots of hugs.

Sleep consultants call this, 'The silent return'. Consistency is key here,\" says Metter. \"It requires a bit of work and perfect consistency from parent for successful results, but uneventfully and silently returning your child to their bed the moment you notice they are out of it will help teach them to remain there until it is time to wake for the day.

Mandatory Credit: Ed Szczepanski-USA TODAY Sports\n\nDallas Mavericks TV play-by-play voice Mark Followill held a chat on Tuesday. Here are highlights.\n\nQuestion: Hi, thanks for taking the time to answer our questions. Are there any players you see us adding at the trade deadline? I was thinking we could use some more scoring off the bench, and T. Ariza offers not just that but good D at SF/SG as well. He'd be an upgrade as the 6th-man over Carter. He's also an expiring contract so maybe WAS wants to get something for him vs. letting him walk for nothing. Thanks!\n\nFollowill: Hi Kristen, thanks and glad to help. At this time it's way too early to know specifically who realistically is attainable at the trade deadline. So much is still left to play out with each team's situation between now and then that will dictate who they might look to move at the deadline. I'm confident the Mavs will look to be as they say \"opportunistic\". But with over two months still to go it is just too early to say. I've always liked Ariza though so that would be an intriguing option\n\nQuestion: Is it me or is this team really boring?\n\nFollowill: It's you. I think they're pretty exciting and fun to watch with their ability to score a lot of points, and have had some thrilling wins like Saturday night in Portland or at home recently against Houston.\n\nQuestion: I know he's not a mav any more but is j-kidd gonna be the nets coach much longer?\n\nFollowill: Great question.

The testicles are where sperm and testosterone (the male sex hormone) are made. The scrotum keeps the testicles in a cooler setting than the body. This is because sperm can't grow at body temperature. During childhood, sperm in the testicles go through a process that results in mature sperm at puberty.\n\nNormal testicles form early in a baby boy's growth. They form in the lower belly (abdomen), but descend, or \"drop,\" into the scrotum toward the end of pregnancy. Normal testicles attach themselves with stretchable tissue in the bottom of the scrotum. This is controlled by the baby's normal hormones.\n\nWhat are Undescended Testicles?\n\nAn undescended testicle (or \"testis\") is when it fails to drop into the normal place in the scrotum. Your child's health care provider can find this during a routine exam. This issue is found in about 3 or 4 out of \u00a0100 newborns (and up to 21 out of 100 premature newborns). Luckily, about half of these testicles will drop on their own during the first 3 months of life. But testicles won't drop on their own after 3 months of age. Thus, about 1 or 2 out of 100 boys with undescended testicles will need treatment.\n\nIt's important not to confuse undescended testicles with \"retractile\" testicles. After 6 months of age, a male child has a reflex that temporarily pulls the testicles up to protect them when he's cold or frightened. These testicles are in the scrotum at other times and don't need treatment. Only testicles that are truly undescended need treatment. A pediatric urologist can tell the difference with a physical exam.\n\nThe testicles need to be 2 to 3 degrees cooler than normal body temperature to make sperm. The scrotum is many degrees cooler than body temperature, and so is the ideal place for the testicle. Testicles that don't drop into the scrotum won't work normally. The longer the testicles are too warm, the lower chances are that the sperm in that testicle will mature normally. This can be a cause of infertility, especially when both testicles are affected.\n\nUndescended testicles are also linked to a higher risk of:\n\n \u2022 Testicular cancer in adulthood (though the risk is still less than 1 in 100)\n \u2022 Testicular torsion (twisting of the chord that brings blood to the scrotum)\n \u2022 Developing a hernia near the groin<|endoftext|>Maurice D.

Mandatory Credit: Ed Szczepanski-USA TODAY Sports\n\nDallas Mavericks TV play-by-play voice Mark Followill held a chat on Tuesday. Here are highlights.\n\nQuestion: Hi, thanks for taking the time to answer our questions. Are there any players you see us adding at the trade deadline? I was thinking we could use some more scoring off the bench, and T. Ariza offers not just that but good D at SF/SG as well. He'd be an upgrade as the 6th-man over Carter. He's also an expiring contract so maybe WAS wants to get something for him vs. letting him walk for nothing. Thanks!\n\nFollowill: Hi Kristen, thanks and glad to help. At this time it's way too early to know specifically who realistically is attainable at the trade deadline. So much is still left to play out with each team's situation between now and then that will dictate who they might look to move at the deadline. I'm confident the Mavs will look to be as they say \"opportunistic\". But with over two months still to go it is just too early to say. I've always liked Ariza though so that would be an intriguing option\n\nQuestion: Is it me or is this team really boring?\n\nFollowill: It's you. I think they're pretty exciting and fun to watch with their ability to score a lot of points, and have had some thrilling wins like Saturday night in Portland or at home recently against Houston.\n\nQuestion: I know he's not a mav any more but is j-kidd gonna be the nets coach much longer?\n\nFollowill: Great question. I think Kidd still has on his side that the team hasn't been healthy so that will help him I assume in how he is being judged by management. From a Mavs perspective and for what he meant here in 2011 I hope for good things for him.

Eventually a more experienced waitress came over to try to solve the problem, but the only thing that happened was that she took the complete order again and promised to bring back the correct items but never did. Eventually the manager came out and we bantered a bit, feeling like the entertainment was worth it all. David got a new salad with roasted salmon but no dressing. Then we got dressings for all items and identified the soup (Sharron's). We had to leave soon, so we couldn't start ordering an entire meal again, but when I told him that I had also ordered a soup, he said he could at least bring that out quickly.

We were also missing dressing for the potato and the salads.\n\nWe tried to correct this and received a large salad of some type (which we didn't order), and sometime later a spoon. Eventually a more experienced waitress came over to try to solve the problem, but the only thing that happened was that she took the complete order again and promised to bring back the correct items but never did. Eventually the manager came out and we bantered a bit, feeling like the entertainment was worth it all. David got a new salad with roasted salmon but no dressing. Then we got dressings for all items and identified the soup (Sharron's). We had to leave soon, so we couldn't start ordering an entire meal again, but when I told him that I had also ordered a soup, he said he could at least bring that out quickly. So he did - without the spoon. I felt like calling him over to ask him to \"taste the soup\" like the old joke.\n\nThe whole thing was ridiculous, but the food - I tasted some of what actually made it to the table - was good. The \"new\" waitress was apparently the sister of the waitress that had done the same thing last time. Ursula, maybe? We received a $25 coupon for the next time for our troubles.\n\nOn the way back to our house, we stopped to let Sharron sign up her daughter for basketball, which apparently involved a reading of the entire set of rules and regulations to all parents. David and I strolled around playing mental Go on a 5 x 5 board, since we had no equipment. I was pretty sure that first move could force a win, but David believed that we would tie.\n\n\nMe: B2\nDavid: C3\n\nDavid seemed to think that the center was a winning move for him. I disagreed.\n\nMe: B3\nDavid: C2\n\nMe: C4\nDavid: D3\n\nI was rather happy with this, as it looked like I might end up with 16 spaces to his 9. David disagreed, of course.\n\nMe: D4\nDavid: B4\n\nI said that that was suicide for white, since I will just capture him. I think David was having a hard time trying to remember which position was which at this point.\n\nMe: B5\nDavid: A4\n\nI said that that doesn't help since I will just reduce it to one liberty again well before he can capture anything of mine.\n\nMe: A3\n\nAt this point, David was obviously having trouble visualizing it; the women came out and we went home.

AND boost my output while doing so.\n\nIn other words, yes - I\u2019m saying a diet helped me overcome my ADHD... something I battled for many years.\n\nAnd after I started to notice these initial results, the benefits just kept piling in.\n\nI was losing weight, I felt great, I was getting more done\u2026\n\nAll things that led to me overcoming the depression and anxiety of my busy lifestyle, and that\u2019s really the main reason why I can say this diet has changed my life for the better.\n\nWhy It Worked Better Than Other Diets\n\nI\u2019m sure you\u2019re somewhat skeptical already, don\u2019t worry... I was too.\n\nI didn\u2019t know how a simple change of diet could lead to amazing results like this, so that\u2019s when I decided I was going to dig in deeper.\n\nNot because I needed to improve it for my own life, but I knew if I was going to start explaining this to family and friends, then I\u2019d need some science to back it up.\n\nSo I started out by reading everything I could and documenting my own results, then months later... I had the key benefits of this diet boiled down to 3 main reasons.\n\n1. I was always full\n\nI\u2019ll explain more on this in a second, but the main focus of this diet is to put your body in fat burning mode.\n\nThis mode helps hunger in a few different ways, but to keep things simple right now - fat is a longer source of energy and that helps you stay full for a longer period of time. This a much better option than the alternative, glycogen burning mode (carbs), because that burns like jet fuel and makes us constantly wanting more energy.\n\nIf you want to get technical, a primary reason for this is because it helps regulate \u201cghrelin\u201d, the \u201chunger hormone\u201d, but in layman\u2019s terms - your energy lasts longer and you don\u2019t need as much food.\n\nThen on top of this, once you do hit fat burning mode your body can easily access stored body fat for energy, if needed.\n\n2. Fat burning = making weight loss easy\n\nSo I just touched on this a little bit, but when you\u2019re in fat burning mode - it\u2019s pretty easy to bur\ufeffn fa\ufefftwithout starving yourself or strenuous exercise.\n\nSure exercise is still good and I\u2019d never advise against it, but the main problem with most diets now is that they keep your body in glycogen burning mode and force you to do long workouts to in order to enter fat burning mode.\n\nThis diet is different and helps you constantly stay in this state - meaning you don\u2019t really have to\u2019s just extra brownie points.\n\nThis is obviously helpful from a practical standpoint, but I think it also helps with momentum.\n\nIt\u2019s hard to keep working out hard every day when you\u2019re not seeing results, but when you don\u2019t have to put a lot of work in and still see results - then well, that makes it pretty easy to keep going.\n\n3. The ketones provide a better source of energy\n\nWhen we\u2019re in fat burning mode, our body is running off ketones (source of energy created when fat is broken down).\n\nWhen we\u2019re in glycogen burning mode, our body is running off glucose (source of energy created when carbs, or excess protein, are broken down).\n\nNow either source is fine and we can live either way, but as I mentioned earlier - the source of energy does make a big difference.\n\nThere\u2019s a lot that goes into it, but glucose is sugar - and our bodies can only have so much sugar in the bloodstream at one time.\n\nSo when we exceed that limit, then insulin comes flying in and converts the excess sugar into stored body fat.\n\nNow this probably doesn\u2019t sound like a big deal, but here\u2019s the problem. Since we can only have so much glucose in the bloodstream, that means we have a limited source of energy that we can survive off of.\n\nIn other words, you could eat a day\u2019s worth of carbs in the morning and still be hungry 3 hours later.\n\n\nBecause all the excess energy has been converted into body fat, and since you\u2019re in glycogen burning mode...then well, your body quickly burns the energy that was left and needs more to keep going.\n\nIt\u2019s kind of like putting 10 gallons of gas in a 2 gallon tank. The remaining 8 gallons is just going to spill on the ground and once we use up 2 gallons of gas, we need a way to find more.\n\nThen you have ketones on the other hand, a source of energy that can be derived from dietary fat and body fat.\n\nI\u2019m sure you\u2019re starting to catch on why this is helpful, but going back to my gas tank analogy...\n\nIt\u2019d be like putting 10 gallons of gas in a 2 gallon tank, but having a bucket on the ground to collect the remaining gas that was spilling out.\n\nThen once we ran out of the 2 gallons, all we\u2019d simply have to do is pull out our bucket, fill up again, and continue on the way...without wasting any fuel.\n\nNow this is obviously a simple way of explaining it, but that\u2019s really how it works. Then on top of that, fat burns slower and that gives you a steady source of energy\u2026\n\nWhich is also the main reason why I felt increased productivity throughout my day. In other words, it\u2019s a lot easier to get things done when you can work at a constant pace as opposed to having the roller coaster ride that comes with carbs.\n\nIs the Ketogenic Diet Good for Beginners? If Yes, Why Isn\u2019t Everybody Using It?\n\nSo even though I had the results to prove it and the science to back it up, I kept getting the same question over and over again\u2026\n\nWhy doesn\u2019t everybody use this then?\n\nAnd that\u2019s a great question, one that\u2019s crossed my mind plenty of times as well.\n\nTo be honest, I think this is the part I could talk about in the most detail as it\u2019s the one I\u2019ve had to answer the most\u2026\n\nBut out of respect for brevity, the main reason is because of misunderstanding.\n\nWhat I mean by that is that guidelines and rules are great, but the only problem is that they take a long time to change...\n\nAnd since our dietary guidelines are still based off outdated studies from 40+ years ago, even though they\u2019ve been proven wrong many different times, I think it\u2019s just a matter of time.\n\nWhich really is unfortunate, because there\u2019s a lot of great doctors and dieticians out there that think they\u2019re doing the right thing by teaching this outdated advice, and even more people suffering from this outdated advice, but the good news is that there are many doctors starting to see the dangers of this\u2026\n\nAnd I\u2019m thankful to those, because without them - I wouldn\u2019t be in this position today.\n\nSo, what exactly is the ketogenic diet?\n\nIf you\u2019ve never heard of this diet before, it\u2019s a diet that stresses high amounts of fat, moderate amounts of protein, and low amounts of carbs\u2026\n\nPretty much the exact opposite of everything we\u2019ve been taught, well - what I was taught anyway.", "base_doc": " cause some energy issues in the first few weeks, so instead of doing my daily jog or gym workout - I was just walking for an hour a day.\n\nIn other words, things were going great... but I was still skeptical.\n\nI\u2019d had a lot of quick success with every other diet I\u2019d tried, but as I mentioned earlier, the weight always found its way back... so I was just waiting for this diet to do the same.\n\nSo I waited, and waited, and waited\u2026\n\nUntil finally after 12 months, 50 lbs, and a complete body transformation later - I realized there was something different about this diet.\n\nAnd not just because I was losing weight and could keep it off, but also because I felt amazing.\n\nEvery other diet I\u2019d tried had my feeling groggy and hangry after the first couple of weeks, but not this one...this one actually had me feeling energetic, both physically and mentally.\n\nI noticed an immediate boost in my productivity, and after a few weeks of starting this diet - I was actually able to stop taking adderall... AND boost my output while doing so.\n\nIn other words, yes - I\u2019m saying a diet helped me overcome my ADHD... something I battled for many years.\n\nAnd after I started to notice these initial results, the benefits just kept piling in.\n\nI was losing weight, I felt great, I was getting more done\u2026\n\nAll things that led to me overcoming the depression and anxiety of my busy lifestyle, and that\u2019s really the main reason why I can say this diet has changed my life for the better.\n\nWhy It Worked Better Than Other Diets\n\nI\u2019m sure you\u2019re somewhat skeptical already, don\u2019t worry... I was too.\n\nI didn\u2019t know how a simple change of diet could lead to amazing results like this, so that\u2019s when I decided I was going to dig in deeper.\n\nNot because I needed to improve it for my own life, but I knew if I was going to start explaining this to family and friends, then I\u2019d need some science to back it up.\n\nSo I started out by reading everything I could and documenting my own results, then months later... I had the key benefits of this diet boiled down to 3 main reasons.\n\n1. I was always full\n\nI\u2019ll explain more on this in a second, but the main focus of this diet is to put your body in fat burning mode.\n\nThis mode helps hunger in a few different ways, but to keep things simple right now - fat is a longer source of energy and that helps you stay full for a longer period of time. This a much better option than the alternative, glycogen burning mode (carbs), because that burns like jet fuel and makes us constantly wanting more energy.\n\nIf you want to get technical, a primary reason for this is because it helps regulate \u201cghrelin\u201d, the \u201chunger hormone\u201d, but in layman\u2019s terms - your energy lasts longer and you don\u2019t need as much food.\n\nThen on top of this, once you do hit fat burning mode your body can easily access stored body fat for energy, if needed.\n\n2. Fat burning = making weight loss easy\n\nSo I just touched on this a little bit, but when you\u2019re in fat burning mode - it\u2019s pretty easy to bur\ufeffn fa\ufefftwithout starving yourself or strenuous exercise.\n\nSure exercise is still good and I\u2019d never advise against it, but the main problem with most diets now is that they keep your body in glycogen burning mode and force you to do long workouts to in order to enter fat burning mode.\n\nThis diet is different and helps you constantly stay in this state - meaning you don\u2019t really have to\u2019s just extra brownie points.\n\nThis is obviously helpful from a practical standpoint, but I think it also helps with momentum.\n\nIt\u2019s hard to keep working out hard every day when you\u2019re not seeing results, but when you don\u2019t have to put a lot of work in and still see results - then well, that makes it pretty easy to keep going.\n\n3. The ketones provide a better source of energy\n\nWhen we\u2019re in fat burning mode, our body is running off ketones (source of energy created when fat is broken down).\n\nWhen we\u2019re in glycogen burning mode, our body is running off glucose (source of energy created when carbs, or excess protein, are broken down).\n\nNow either source is fine and we can live either way, but as I mentioned earlier - the source of energy does make a big difference.\n\nThere\u2019s a lot that goes into it, but glucose is sugar - and our bodies can only have so much sugar in the bloodstream at one time.\n\nSo when we exceed that limit, then insulin comes flying in and converts the excess sugar into stored body fat.\n\nNow this probably doesn\u2019t sound like a big deal, but here\u2019s the problem. Since we can only have so much glucose in the bloodstream, that means we have a limited source of energy that we can survive off of.\n\nIn other words, you could eat a day\u2019s worth of carbs in the morning and still be hungry 3 hours later.\n\n\nBecause all the excess energy has been converted into body fat, and since you\u2019re in glycogen burning mode...then well, your body quickly burns the energy that was left and needs more to keep going.\n\nIt\u2019s kind of like putting 10 gallons of gas in a 2 gallon tank. The remaining 8 gallons is just going to spill on the ground and once we use up 2 gallons of gas, we need a way to find more.\n\nThen you have ketones on the other hand, a source of energy that can be derived from dietary fat and body fat.\n\nI\u2019m sure you\u2019re starting to catch on why this is helpful, but going back to my gas tank analogy...\n\nIt\u2019d be like putting 10 gallons of gas in a 2 gallon tank, but having a bucket on the ground to collect the remaining gas that was spilling out.\n\nThen once we ran out of the 2 gallons, all we\u2019d simply have to do is pull out our bucket, fill up again, and continue on the way...without wasting any fuel.\n\nNow this is obviously a simple way of explaining it, but that\u2019s really how it works. Then on top of that, fat burns slower and that gives you a steady source of energy\u2026\n\nWhich is also the main reason why I felt increased productivity throughout my day. In other words, it\u2019s a lot easier to get things done when you can work at a constant pace as opposed to having the roller coaster ride that comes with carbs.\n\nIs the Ketogenic Diet Good for Beginners? If Yes, Why Isn\u2019t Everybody Using It?\n\nSo even though I had the results to prove it and the science to back it up, I kept getting the same question over and over again\u2026\n\nWhy doesn\u2019t everybody use this then?\n\nAnd that\u2019s a great question, one that\u2019s crossed my mind plenty of times as well.\n\nTo be honest, I think this is the part I could talk about in the most detail as it\u2019s the one I\u2019ve had to answer the most\u2026\n\nBut out of respect for brevity, the main reason is because of misunderstanding.\n\nWhat I mean by that is that guidelines and rules are great, but the only problem is that they take a long time to change...\n\nAnd since our dietary guidelines are still based off outdated studies from 40+ years ago, even though they\u2019ve been proven wrong many different times, I think it\u2019s just a matter of time.\n\nWhich really is unfortunate, because there\u2019s a lot of great doctors and dieticians out there that think they\u2019re doing the right thing by teaching this outdated advice, and even more people suffering from this outdated advice, but the good news is that there are many doctors starting to see the dangers of this\u2026\n\nAnd I\u2019m thankful to those, because without them - I wouldn\u2019t be in this position today.\n\nSo, what exactly is the ketogenic diet?\n\nIf you\u2019ve never heard of this diet before, it\u2019s a diet that stresses high amounts of fat, moderate amounts of protein, and low amounts of carbs\u2026\n\nPretty much the exact opposite of everything we\u2019ve been taught, well - what I was taught anyway.\n\nI grew up thinking that eating fat clogged arteries, made me fat, gave me a heart attack...etc.\n\nBut then I started reading real results that showed the exact opposite. In fact, high fat diets were actually raising HDL (the \u201cgood\u201d cholesterol) and making LDL (the \u201cbad\u201d cholesterol) go from small and dense, to big and fluffy.\n\nWhat does that mean?\n\nWell HDL is the cholesterol that comes through and picks up excess LDL, the kind that many think creates clogged arteries.\n\nAnd since you have more HDL coming through and cleaning house\u2026then well, that actually creates less clogged arteries.\n\nThen on top of that, the LDL is big and fluffy (as opposed to small and dense), meaning you have more good cholesterol coming through and taking care of \u201ceasy-to-remove\u201d bad cholesterol\u2026\n\nA win-win all around.\n\nA lot to take in?

I'm not that much of a sports fan, so I was only half listening, until the started talking to a 10 year old kid about how good a hitter he was. The reporter asked if he considered himself a \"slugger\", and he said \"Yeah, I guess so\". Then, in the background, you hear another kid, probably his best friend, half whisper \"Barry Bonds!\" The first kid was still talking about his own prowess on the diamond, but paused to say \"I'M not on steroids!\" before he went on.\n\nBoth funny and sad, honestly. We used to be able to look up to athletes and admire them, even dream a little of being like them some day. Honestly, I never did much of that, not being a sports fan even as a kid. But in my teens I did start reading about Eddy Merckx and Felice Gimondi and other bicycle racers... even some young kid in the western US who people were starting to talk about... some punk named Lemond who was beating older riders at their game. So, while the Barry Bonds thing doesn't hit close to home, it was pretty depressing to watch this years Tour de France and find myself thinking \"who is next going to leave the race due to some doping incident or suspicion?\"\n\nMaybe those golden days when we could just admire our heroes were an illusion. It seems pretty certain that there has always been some level of chemical enhancement in many sports for a long time. But it still feels like we've lost a little innocense, when I hear a kid say \"I'm not on steroids\" on public radio.\n\nDo Lycra and Aerobars Make One Mute?\n\nThat's the thought that went through my mind this morning on my ride to work. I had just had yet another \"Serious Cyclist\" whiz past in the opposite direction, with not even the slightest acknowledgment that I was there.\n\nNow, I understand training and discipline and all that, but when one after another these folk zip on by, with not even a flicker of recognition of another human being... another cyclist, it just bothers me. I don't expect them to break their cadence, sit up and give me a high five as we pass or anything. A simple \"hello\", or even a nod of the head would be nice. And I know there's nothing that says they have to react to me in any way... it just seems like a decent and human thing to do.\n\nI say hi or some other greeting to just about everyone I see on the trail, and I like to think it might brighten someone's day now and then. I don't know... maybe most folks think \"who the heck was that and why were they talking to me????\" But I find a simple \"hi\" or \"good morning\" is nice, when it happens. And a fair number of folk do at least respond in some manner. The older man on his 70s road bike, the woman walking her dog, the couple just enjoying a morning stroll... those are the people who at least say something or nod.\n\nIt's the lycra crowd that pretty much universally acts like I'm not even there. Not a word is uttered when we pass in opposite directions, not even a glance my way. And don't get me started on how many times a \"go-fast\" rider has overtaken me and zoomed past, without even a word or sound of warning to let me know they were about to pass. THAT really annoys me... not just because it sometimes startles me, and is rude to me, but because it is the type of behavior that makes other path users resent cyclists as a whole.\n\nOh well, no matter. I will keep cheerfully calling out a greeting, even to those who stare right through their Oakleys past me. It costs me nothing, and I think it might even make a person or two feel better about their fellow humans now and then.\n\n\n\"You sure have a way with people\", Harold said as they left the amusement park and walked along the pier.\n\n\"Well,\" said Maude, \"they're my species.\"\n\nColin Higgins, Harold and Maude\n\nWednesday, August 8, 2007\n\nMemories of childhood\n\nI'm sitting here on a hot summer's day... nearly 100 degrees and humid here in the Greater DC area... sipping on a cherry Slurpee. Brings back memories of growing up on the other side of the Beltway, over in suburban Maryland, in the late 60s. Back when the town of Bowie was \"way out there\" and a brand new bedroom community sprouting on a former thoroughbred horse farm. Long before the sprawl of suburbs that now sees folks commuting to DC from across the Bay Bridge, or from places as far as Frederick and Hagerstown, MD, or Warrenton, VA. Back when my family bought a four bedroom Cape Cod for just under $20K... and a bottle of Dr. Pepper was 16 cents, 2 cents of which was the deposit on the bottle.\n\nWhich brings me back to the Slurpee. Moving to Maryland from Long Island when we did, 7-11 stores were a new thing to us. We had one within easy walking distance from our house, and my sister Louise and I would walk up there to get sodas, candy, ice cream, or of course, Slurpees. Back then they only had a few flavors... as I recall, you could get cola, cherry, or orange, I think grape... maybe root beer, but I'm not certain of that. And back then, the machine offered you only a choice of two of those flavors, depending on the day. Now there's an amazing array of flavors, and something like 8 of them at any one time. And the cup sizes were tiny by today's standards. But they sure hit the spot on a hot day. Even today, I have to admit, this is tasting mighty good. I couldn't drink more than one or two a summer now, but on the right day, it's fun to revisit an old favorite.\n\nThe other thing about those trips to 7-11 that was different... My sister and I would stop by a nearby construction site, where a batch of new town houses were sprouting, to find discarded soda bottles, so we could cash them in for the deposit. The workers tended to leave a lot behind, so we managed to finance quite a bit of our trips from that site, or at least augment our own cash. I was probably 6-7 at the time, and Louise would have been 10-11. I have to wonder... would anyone today let two of their kids roam a construction site unsupervised? Or head off into the local woods for an adventure of frog-catching or playing \"army\"? Probably not... and I have to imagine childhood is poorer for it.\n\nI guess today is my official \"codger-in-training\" post, huh? :-)\n\nTuesday, August 7, 2007\n\nTime Capsule on Two Wheels\n\nNo, I'm actually not talking about one of my bicycles, although one could make the case that they are, in fact, snapshots of a bygone era.\n\nActually, today I'm going to write about a cyclist I saw yesterday on my commute to work, and the bike and equipment he had.\n\nThe first thing I noticed was his helmet, because it was one of the original Bell Biker helmets, from the 70s:\n\n(Shown is a photo from the Smithsonian's \"America on the Move\" collection online at:\n\nA very cool exhibit, both online and in person.

These shoes haven't been made in a couple of decades... my best friend bought a pair back in the early 80s.

That used to seem so old!), and he was tooling right along at a decent pace and clearly enjoying himself, out on a morning ride. If I hadn't had to go to work, i might have asked to join him.\n\nI wonder what his story is... did he recently decide to start exercising again, and pulled the old bike from storage, dusting it off and riding? Or has he ridden and cherished it all these years, as I have with my Trek? Or does he have a collection of old bikes that he appreciates in much the same way I do, my own rolling time capsules... 78 Centurion, 78 Raleigh Pro, and now 73 Scwhinn Paramount?

These mechanics range from the imbuements of unique abilities into armor, to the summoning of extraordinarily powerful lategame bosses through challenging and complicated rituals.\n\nAffinities Edit\n\nAffinities are your inclinations towards certain types of magic. Casting spells of certain types increase one of your affinities, reducing the cost of that type of spell, along with additional bonuses and penalties based on the affinity. Affinities can be changed by reading Affinity Tomes.\n\nArmor XP Infusion Edit\n\nWhenever you gain experience points, any equipped armor will gain some too. The amount gained is equal to the total amount of XP you just gained divided evenly among all equipped armor pieces. Any armor can gain XP. Stored armor XP can be used at an Armor Imbuement Table.\n\nBurnout Edit\n\nBurnout is represented by a red bar and is an indication of your magical fatigue. Your maximum burnout increases by magic level. Burnout increases the mana cost of spells by a percentage, and slowly is reduced over time. Spells that take more mana to cast increase burnout by a greater amount.\n\nEnchantments Edit\n\nArs Magica 2 adds a few useful enchantments to the game to assist in you ascent to magical mastery. These enchantments are Magic Resistance, and Soulbound.\n\nInfusion Edit\n\nNot to be confused with Armor XP Infusion, which is an entirely unrelated mechanic. Infusion is a process in which armor specifically from Ars Magca 2 will drain mana from your pool of mana to repair itself. Due to this mechanic, most armor from Ars Magica 2 have low durability and will not last in a prolonged fight. Taking the armor off will cause it to stop infusing; it must be equipped for the mechanic to function. No mana cost is incurred when the armor is at full durability.\n\nMagic Level Edit\n\nUpon obtaining an Arcane Compendium, you gain one magic level.

And each thought to himself, besides, that this last incarnation\nof Trilbyness was quite the sweetest, most touching, most endearing of\n\nThey had not failed to note how rapidly she had aged, now that they had\nseen her without her rouge and pearl-powder; she looked thirty at\nleast--she was only twenty-three.\n\nHer hands were almost transparent in their waxen whiteness; delicate\nlittle frosty wrinkles had gathered round her eyes; there were gray\nstreaks in her hair; all strength and straightness and elasticity seemed\nto have gone out of her with the memory of her endless triumphs (if she\nreally _was_ la Svengali), and of her many wanderings from city to city\nall over Europe.\n\nIt was evident enough that the sudden stroke which had destroyed her\npower of singing had left her physically a wreck.\n\nBut she was one of those rarely gifted beings who cannot look or speak\nor even stir without waking up (and satisfying) some vague longing that\nlies dormant in the hearts of most of us, men and women alike; grace,\ncharm, magnetism--whatever the nameless seduction should be called that\nshe possessed to such an unusual degree--she had lost none of it when\nshe lost her high spirits, her buoyant health and energy, her wits!\n\nTuneless and insane, she was more of a siren than ever--a quite\nunconscious siren--without any guile, who appealed to the heart all the\nmore directly and irresistibly that she could no longer stir the\n\nAll this was keenly felt by all three--each in his different way--by\nTaffy and Little Billee especially.\n\nAll her past life was forgiven--her sins of omission and commission! And\nwhatever might be her fate--recovery, madness, disease, or death--the\ncare of her till she died or recovered should be the principal business\nof their lives.\n\nBoth had loved her. All three, perhaps. One had been loved by her as\npassionately, as purely, as unselfishly as any man could wish to be\nloved, and in some extraordinary manner had recovered, after many years,\nat the mere sudden sight and sound of her, his lost share in our common\ninheritance--the power to love, and all its joy and sorrow; without\nwhich he had found life not worth living, though he had possessed every\nother gift and blessing in such abundance.\n\n\"Oh, Circe, poor Circe, dear Circe, divine enchantress that you were!\"\nhe said to himself, in his excitable way. \"A mere look from your eyes, a\nmere note of your heavenly voice, has turned a poor, miserable, callous\nbrute back into a man again! and I will never forget it--never! And now\nthat a still worse trouble than mine has befallen you, you shall always\nbe first in my thoughts till the end!\"\n\nAnd Taffy felt pretty much the same, though he was not by way of talking\nto himself so eloquent about things as Little Billee.\n\n * * * * *\n\nAs they lunched, they read the accounts of the previous evening's events\nin different papers, three or four of which (including the _Times_) had\nalready got leaders about the famous but unhappy singer who had been so\nsuddenly widowed and struck down in the midst of her glory. All these\naccounts were more or less correct. In one paper it was mentioned that\nMadame Svengali was under the roof and care of Mr. William Bagot, the\npainter, in Fitzroy Square.\n\nThe inquest on Svengali was to take place that afternoon, and also\nGecko's examination at the Bow Street Police Court, for his assault.\n\n\nTaffy was allowed to see Gecko, who was remanded till the result of the\npost-mortem should be made public. But beyond inquiring most anxiously\nand minutely after Trilby, and betraying the most passionate concern for\nher, he would say nothing, and seemed indifferent as to his own fate.\n\nWhen they went to Fitzroy Square, late in the afternoon, they found\nthat many people, musical, literary, fashionable, and otherwise (and\nmany foreigners), had called to inquire after Madame Svengali, but no\none had been admitted to see her. Mrs. Godwin was much elated by the\nimportance of her new lodger.\n\nTrilby had been writing to Ang\u00e8le Boisse, at her old address in the Rue\ndes Clo\u00eetres Ste. P\u00e9tronille, in the hope that this letter would find\nher still there. She was anxious to go back and be a _blanchisseuse de\nfin_ with her friend. It was a kind of nostalgia for Paris, the quartier\nlatin, her clean old trade.\n\nThis project our three heroes did not think it necessary to discuss with\nher just yet; she seemed quite unfit for work of any kind.\n\nThe doctor, who had seen her again, had been puzzled by her strange\nphysical weakness, and wished for a consultation with some special\nauthority; Little Billee, who was intimate with most of the great\nphysicians, wrote about her to Sir Oliver Calthorpe.\n\nShe seemed to find a deep happiness in being with her three old friends,\nand talked and listened with all her old eagerness and geniality, and\nmuch of her old gayety, in spite of her strange and sorrowful position.\nBut for this it was impossible to realize that her brain was affected in\nthe slightest degree, except when some reference was made to her\nsinging, and this seemed to annoy and irritate her, as though she were\nbeing made fun of", "perturbation_file": "privacy_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 91498, "pt_loc": 106231733, "pt_shuffle_idx": 190594007, "doc_index_f": 298778385, "doc_index_l": 298778385, "offset_f": 123223, "offset_l": 125271, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 303, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": "chatbot: hi how are you doing this morning\nReporterVirus958: just now my mom and dad relocated to florida\nchatbot: its nice and beautiful there did yall get hit bad by the hurricane\nReporterVirus958: my bro is at my house surfing on my couch, sick huh?\nchatbot: yeah that is cool, do you live with your brother\nReporterVirus958: kind of, i breed cats, main coon breed, then show them!\nchatbot: that is cool we have a pet cat\nReporterVirus958: pet him or you? next month i will be going on a cruise ship\nchatbot: its mine, my dads and brothers cat i live with them\nReporterVirus958: cooking is what i love\nchatbot: i am not much of a cook are you in school\nReporterVirus958: my mom and dad just moved to florida!<|endoftext|>\u2019s music can prompt both tears and yawns, that implies fault with neither composer nor listener, but underlines the fact that classical music is NOT emotion, but it can trigger an emotional response in those who hear it.\n\nWe frequently hear it said that Bach\u2019s music is \u201cbeautiful\u201d.\u00a0 Yes, to my way of thinking a lot of it is (and a lot of it is not).\u00a0 Yet, once we make this statement as if it were inalienable fact, we are obliged to accuse those who hear the same piece of Bach and describe it as \u201cdull\u201d, as not recognising beauty.

In an expanding universe, whatever the spatial curvature (even if it's exactly zero), spacetime curvature is large: freely-falling objects diverge with the expansion. The spatial curvature mostly deals with relative distortions of the shapes of similar galaxies (e.g. barred spirals, or ellipticals) at different distances. With zero spatial curvature, faraway barred spirals have the same shape as nearer barred spirals.\n\nWith positive spatial curvature, further away barred spirals would be less arm-y and more core-y than nearer ones, while with negative spatial curvature they would be more arm-y and less core-y. The light from the outer parts of the arms and the core are all emitted essentially as parallel rays. With positive spatial curvature, the rays converge, so the arm-rays get squashed towards the core-rays as they travel cosmological distances. With negative spatial curvature, the initially parallel rays diverge.\n\nWe don't see that kind of distortion in images like this, with a large number of faraway galaxies looking very similar to foreground galaxies like Andromeda (M31) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble_Ultra-Deep_Field\n\nThere isn\u2019t an exterior in this model, just a boundary you can\u2019t get \u201coutside of\u201d because everything including space and time are part of the universe. What this is all based on is the observation that the information required to describe the volume of (for example) a black hole, can be encoded on its event horizon. The theory says that the universe and it\u2019s horizon(s) can be similarly modeled. In essence that we live not in the volume of a soap bubble but in the fluctuations of the skin of the bubble. It\u2019s only to us, at our energy level and scale that a higher dimensional volume appears to emerge.\n\nIt\u2019s important to say that this is all entirely speculative, based on the physical possibility which allows for the resolution of some outstanding problems in physics. That doesn\u2019t mean it is in any way real, it is just another possible model, and one without observation to support it as the way our universe actually works.\n\nPerhaps a stupid question:\n\nIf a 3d universe can be encoded in a 2d space, then I suppose a 2d universe can be in a 1d space? And could 1 dimeneion be encoded in 0? Just some bits or fluctuations?\n\nWith the caveat that I am neither a physicist nor a mathematician:\n\n1. My understanding is that some kinds of 3d universes can be encoded on a 2d surface. Whether our universe is one of those is an area of research.\n\n2. You can't always generalize from one dimension to another in mathematics. The most common example is that knots can only exist in three dimensions; they don't exist in 2 or 4.\n\nYou can knot surfaces in 4D though.\n\nEdit: not to say that 3D space isn't special though. There are plenty of special things about it.\n\nYou\u2019re not wrong, but all such knots are trivial in 4D. The math is discussed here: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1426501/why-are-all...\n\nThat link appears to be about unknotting any embedding of the circle into R^4 . Indeed, these can all be unknotted.\n\nI am saying that if instead of having a 1-d curve (a circle) embedded in 3-space, you instead have a 2-d surface embedded in 4-space, that such surfaces can be knotted in 4-space just as the circle can be knotted in 3-space.\n\nIirc, one way to construct these surfaces is to start with a knot in a particular 3D slice of 4-space, put all of it on one side of a plane in that 3D slice, stick the knot to that plane at 3 points (remove the bit of the knot between them), and then revolve what is left of the knot around the plane (so, the projection of the knot as it is revolving into the 3D slice will look like the knot is being squished into the plane, unsquished on the other side, and then doing that backwards. But this is only the projection into the 3D slice. Really, when revolving around the plane, as the direction normal to the plane within the slice gets scaled to zero, the same amount is added first in one direction normal to the 3D slice, and then as- ... blah, I am going on too long in describing this. I'm typing on my phone, so I can't effortlessly see all that I wrote, so I might be repeating myself. It rotates around the plane. Each point in the original knot traces out a circle in 4-space. )\n\nAt some level of approximation you can encode any higher dimensional space into a lower dimensional one. The usual approach is to use a space-filling curve, like a z-order curve or Hilbert space filling curve, then describing a point in the higher dimensional space as a distance along the curve.\n\nIt\u2019s easy to encode the universe into a single binary bit. It\u2019s the decoding bit that presents a challenge.\n\nHere's a possible answer. Imagine a 2d universe - a piece of paper. Cut that paper into infinitely thin lines, and line them up.\n\nYou have converted the 2d paper into a 1d line, but in the process have made the line much longer than the 2d version. (Like the difference between Aleph 0 and Aleph 1.)\n\nI don't see any way to go lower than that though.\n\nTo go lower you cut the line into infinitely many points and stack them together :-) ?\n\nI think a good illustration could be provided by the Gauss law. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss%27s_law\n\nIt states that if you have a volume of space - say, a cube 1 meter side - containing some electric charges, and you calculate the total flux of the electric field across the boundary of that volume - that is, across the surface of that cube - then you'll find that total charge Q and total flux FF are proportional, FF = Q / epsilon_0 , where epsilon_0 is a fundamental constant. And that ratio doesn't in fact depend on shape or size of that volume of space.\n\nThat means Gauss law allows you to go along the boundary surface, calculate total electric flux and calculate the total charge inside the volume within that surface.\n\nSimilarly here, \"holographically dual\" means that you can derive important properties of matter inside some volume from properties which are observable on the boundary surface of that volume. What are those properties is another matter - but this duality principle says that there is a certain relation between them.\n\nThat\u2019s a bad analogy. You can\u2019t deduce the charge distribution within a volume from the flux through its boundary. You can only deduce its magnitude.\n\nParent correctly referred to \"total charge\", not its distribution.\n\nThat wasn\u2019t the issue with their analogy.\n\nThe issue was that the holographic principle states that the boundary completely determines what\u2019s inside a volume, as opposed to Gauss\u2019s law which only talks about the total amount of charge.\n\nYou're right, Gauss law only talks about magnitude, not distribution. I chose this example because it's simpler than explaining reversal of wave fronts, so the formula FF = Q / epsilon_0 is shorter. Note I mentioned \"what those properties are is another matter\".\n\nThe choice of analogy is less precise but hopefully easier to understand. The idea is just that there could be relationship between boundary conditions and internal conditions.\n\nNot sure if it's related but this lecture gave me some basic grasp on the notion of holographic representations\n\n\nQuanta is great, but there's definitely a limit to what can be portrayed to a popular audience and this is well past it.\n\nI think anything can be portrayed to the popular audience. Other comments here explaining the terms used in the article suggest that this is possible. The only problem is that some fine information would most likely be lost with a simplified explanation.\n\nI think there's an additional difficulty when those unfamiliar with more rigorous (as compared to pop sci anyway) physics/mathematical discussions.\n\nThere is simply a great deal of unintuitive interactions to keep in mind all, at once, when attempting to rationalize how many of", "base_doc": "\n[1] Just to clarify: we are talking about spatial curvature here, where we have sliced up the 4d spacetime into 3d spaces indexed by time. In an expanding universe, whatever the spatial curvature (even if it's exactly zero), spacetime curvature is large: freely-falling objects diverge with the expansion. The spatial curvature mostly deals with relative distortions of the shapes of similar galaxies (e.g. barred spirals, or ellipticals) at different distances. With zero spatial curvature, faraway barred spirals have the same shape as nearer barred spirals.\n\nWith positive spatial curvature, further away barred spirals would be less arm-y and more core-y than nearer ones, while with negative spatial curvature they would be more arm-y and less core-y. The light from the outer parts of the arms and the core are all emitted essentially as parallel rays. With positive spatial curvature, the rays converge, so the arm-rays get squashed towards the core-rays as they travel cosmological distances. With negative spatial curvature, the initially parallel rays diverge.\n\nWe don't see that kind of distortion in images like this, with a large number of faraway galaxies looking very similar to foreground galaxies like Andromeda (M31) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble_Ultra-Deep_Field\n\nThere isn\u2019t an exterior in this model, just a boundary you can\u2019t get \u201coutside of\u201d because everything including space and time are part of the universe. What this is all based on is the observation that the information required to describe the volume of (for example) a black hole, can be encoded on its event horizon. The theory says that the universe and it\u2019s horizon(s) can be similarly modeled. In essence that we live not in the volume of a soap bubble but in the fluctuations of the skin of the bubble. It\u2019s only to us, at our energy level and scale that a higher dimensional volume appears to emerge.\n\nIt\u2019s important to say that this is all entirely speculative, based on the physical possibility which allows for the resolution of some outstanding problems in physics. That doesn\u2019t mean it is in any way real, it is just another possible model, and one without observation to support it as the way our universe actually works.\n\nPerhaps a stupid question:\n\nIf a 3d universe can be encoded in a 2d space, then I suppose a 2d universe can be in a 1d space? And could 1 dimeneion be encoded in 0? Just some bits or fluctuations?\n\nWith the caveat that I am neither a physicist nor a mathematician:\n\n1. My understanding is that some kinds of 3d universes can be encoded on a 2d surface. Whether our universe is one of those is an area of research.\n\n2. You can't always generalize from one dimension to another in mathematics. The most common example is that knots can only exist in three dimensions; they don't exist in 2 or 4.\n\nYou can knot surfaces in 4D though.\n\nEdit: not to say that 3D space isn't special though. There are plenty of special things about it.\n\nYou\u2019re not wrong, but all such knots are trivial in 4D. The math is discussed here: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1426501/why-are-all...\n\nThat link appears to be about unknotting any embedding of the circle into R^4 . Indeed, these can all be unknotted.\n\nI am saying that if instead of having a 1-d curve (a circle) embedded in 3-space, you instead have a 2-d surface embedded in 4-space, that such surfaces can be knotted in 4-space just as the circle can be knotted in 3-space.\n\nIirc, one way to construct these surfaces is to start with a knot in a particular 3D slice of 4-space, put all of it on one side of a plane in that 3D slice, stick the knot to that plane at 3 points (remove the bit of the knot between them), and then revolve what is left of the knot around the plane (so, the projection of the knot as it is revolving into the 3D slice will look like the knot is being squished into the plane, unsquished on the other side, and then doing that backwards. But this is only the projection into the 3D slice. Really, when revolving around the plane, as the direction normal to the plane within the slice gets scaled to zero, the same amount is added first in one direction normal to the 3D slice, and then as- ... blah, I am going on too long in describing this. I'm typing on my phone, so I can't effortlessly see all that I wrote, so I might be repeating myself. It rotates around the plane. Each point in the original knot traces out a circle in 4-space. )\n\nAt some level of approximation you can encode any higher dimensional space into a lower dimensional one. The usual approach is to use a space-filling curve, like a z-order curve or Hilbert space filling curve, then describing a point in the higher dimensional space as a distance along the curve.\n\nIt\u2019s easy to encode the universe into a single binary bit. It\u2019s the decoding bit that presents a challenge.\n\nHere's a possible answer. Imagine a 2d universe - a piece of paper.

Physicists and mathematicians combat this by working with specific abstractions enough to become intuitively familiar with the behavior of said abstractions.\n\nUnfortunately, this packing away of unintuitive complexity behind intuitive interactions is unavailable to the lay reader. Any specific interaction can be explained in simple enough language, eventually, if the curious reader keeps asking why. However, when they attempting to pop back up the why stack and get back to the big picture (i.e. the world people can understand intuitively), lay readers lose the nuance in the noise created by the volume.\n\nThe verb \"portray\" doesn't mean what you guys seem to think it means.\n\nPerhaps you could elucidate us with the way you feel people are misusing the word?\n\nFine information on both sides, as they say.\n\nOn the contrary, this is the perfect article to explain to audiophiles why to buy my cable with quantum error correction.

When you see that redefining marriage is going to, in fact, redefine the meaning of parenthood, removing biology as the basis for parenthood and replacing it with legal constructions\u2014then you see that there is quite a lot at stake in getting the definition of marriage right.\n\nI just read an interview with a conservative columnist who opposes same-sex marriage but will not write about it because he doesn't want to offend his gay friends. And I think that applies to many people who are concerned about hurting feelings. What about those people?\n\nWell, my first question to them would be whether they get the argument as to why it's not a harmless redefinition. Because once you get it, the question is, what are you going to do about it? I would say there are some people that you're going to offend if you speak out. You have to decide whether you're going to be on the side of truth or not. How bad does it have to get before you're going to open your mouth? Marriage has been redefined in Canada. And the province of Quebec came out with a policy against homophobia. In that policy, the provincial government said it was going to work to stamp out not only homophobia, but heterosexism also. Heterosexism is the view that heterosexuality is normal.\n\nLook. Heterosexuality\u00a0is\u00a0normal in our species. We are a species that propagates by sexual reproduction. If the government gives itself the power to wipe out a belief that is actually true, what that means is that the government's given itself a blank check to do whatever it wants. Now they've set up a registry where anyone can anonymously report a homophobic act. That means they've set up something that will allow people to spy on their neighbors and anonymously make accusations. How bad does it have to get before you're going to be willing to offend someone at Thanksgiving dinner? What's going on in Quebec is a very ominous development.\n\nIf same-sex marriage were to become the law of the land, what do you see happening? People sometimes talk about polygamy becoming the next shoe to drop.\n\nOh, the polygamy thing is already in progress. I don't think there would be any problem removing the requirement that there be only two people to a marriage. My bigger worry is not so much plural marriage as it is plural parenthood and contract parenthood. The real radicals believe that a dichotomy between parent and non-parent is oppressive. What they would like is what they call \"intentional parenting.\" If you \"intend\" to be a parent, that's the key thing. And they're working to create legal institutions that would allow people to establish themselves as \"intentional parents.\" So what that means is, instead of every person coming into being as an act of love, people are going to come into being as an act of the will and nothing but the will.\n\nMy nightmare scenario is all the different ways that are going to transform what is means to be a parent. It will allow the terms \"mother and father\" to be replaced by \"generic parents,\" losing all gender language. These are the things that keep me awake at night. We're talking about having three and four parents who have divided up the parenting responsibilities among themselves. We're talking about creating an institution that has parents being primarily something that's legal, not based on biology or kinship. And I think that's going to be a nightmare for every little person who gets born into society, even if he or she doesn't have that happen to them.\n\nAre you optimistic or pessimistic about the future?\n\nI don't think in terms of optimism or pessimism. I think more in terms of theological hope. I try to cultivate the theological virtue of hope, of being hopeful that our Lord will use whatever's happening for the greatest good. If we are thankful to him and we proclaim his truth in love, we hope he will somehow use that for good.

Sometimes it's nothing more than how it will make them feel. It's not the business of law to make people feel a certain way. When you see that redefining marriage is going to, in fact, redefine the meaning of parenthood, removing biology as the basis for parenthood and replacing it with legal constructions\u2014then you see that there is quite a lot at stake in getting the definition of marriage right.\n\nI just read an interview with a conservative columnist who opposes same-sex marriage but will not write about it because he doesn't want to offend his gay friends. And I think that applies to many people who are concerned about hurting feelings. What about those people?\n\nWell, my first question to them would be whether they get the argument as to why it's not a harmless redefinition. Because once you get it, the question is, what are you going to do about it? I would say there are some people that you're going to offend if you speak out. You have to decide whether you're going to be on the side of truth or not. How bad does it have to get before you're going to open your mouth? Marriage has been redefined in Canada. And the province of Quebec came out with a policy against homophobia. In that policy, the provincial government said it was going to work to stamp out not only homophobia, but heterosexism also. Heterosexism is the view that heterosexuality is normal.\n\nLook. Heterosexuality\u00a0is\u00a0normal in our species. We are a species that propagates by sexual reproduction. If the government gives itself the power to wipe out a belief that is actually true, what that means is that the government's given itself a blank check to do whatever it wants. Now they've set up a registry where anyone can anonymously report a homophobic act. That means they've set up something that will allow people to spy on their neighbors and anonymously make accusations. How bad does it have to get before you're going to be willing to offend someone at Thanksgiving dinner? What's going on in Quebec is a very ominous development.\n\nIf same-sex marriage were to become the law of the land, what do you see happening? People sometimes talk about polygamy becoming the next shoe to drop.\n\nOh, the polygamy thing is already in progress. I don't think there would be any problem removing the requirement that there be only two people to a marriage. My bigger worry is not so much plural marriage as it is plural parenthood and contract parenthood. The real radicals believe that a dichotomy between parent and non-parent is oppressive. What they would like is what they call \"intentional parenting.\" If you \"intend\" to be a parent, that's the key thing. And they're working to create legal institutions that would allow people to establish themselves as \"intentional parents.\" So what that means is, instead of every person coming into being as an act of love, people are going to come into being as an act of the will and nothing but the will.\n\nMy nightmare scenario is all the different ways that are going to transform what is means to be a parent. It will allow the terms \"mother and father\" to be replaced by \"generic parents,\" losing all gender language. These are the things that keep me awake at night. We're talking about having three and four parents who have divided up the parenting responsibilities among themselves. We're talking about creating an institution that has parents being primarily something that's legal, not based on biology or kinship. And I think that's going to be a nightmare for every little person who gets born into society, even if he or she doesn't have that happen to them.\n\nAre you optimistic or pessimistic about the future?\n\nI don't think in terms of optimism or pessimism. I think more in terms of theological hope. I try to cultivate the theological virtue of hope, of being hopeful that our Lord will use whatever's happening for the greatest good. If we are thankful to him and we proclaim his truth in love, we hope he will somehow use that for good.

At a PC meeting, if a paper's reviewers can't unanimously agree on a paper, the outcome is often determined by a PC-wide vote.\u00a0 I'm always uncomfortable when the people who read the paper vote 2-1 in favor, but the PC votes 15-16 against the paper.\u00a0 So, essentially, the paper's outcome is decided by one person that never read the paper.\u00a0 I recommend that non-decisive PC votes (margin less than 5?) simply be discarded.\n\n2. A few conferences have experimented with PC meetings that last 1.5 or 2 days.\u00a0 More time does not mean better decisions; it just means that talkative PC members find a way to say the same thing with more words.\u00a0 So let me cast a vote in favor of 1-day PC meetings.\u00a0 Also, a Friday PC meeting allows for better work/life balance -- I assume that's important.\u00a0 I'm curious to see how the ISCA'16 PC meeting plays out: two days, but most PC members will only attend one of the two days.\n\n3. I assume that\u00a0Moin will have more to say about the\u00a0MICRO'15 review process at MICRO.\u00a0 In a nutshell, about 80+ papers were given 3 weeks to submit a revised paper, in addition to the standard rebuttal.\u00a0 In my opinion, the revision process worked very well.\u00a0 Assuming that a paper is close to being accepted, the authors should want to spend time now to revise the paper than roll the dice at the next conference.\u00a0 I think the MICRO'15 review process hit a sweet spot -- it gets us sufficiently closer to a journal-style process, while retaining the many benefits of conference reviewing.\n\n4. Can we please do away with the rule that a PC member can't have more than 2 accepted papers?\u00a0 Fortunately or unfortunately, I have not been victimized by the rule.\u00a0 But it happens to someone at every PC meeting.\u00a0 It's terribly unfair to the involved grad students.\u00a0 Seemingly, the rule is in place to prevent collusion among PC members.\u00a0 But I just don't buy it.\u00a0 If I was the colluding type, would I stop because there's a cap on my accepted papers?\u00a0 Probably not.\u00a0 I'm ok with a rule that actually stops collusion.\u00a0 I'm not ok with a rule that masks collusion.\u00a0 (FWIW, I have never witnessed collusion at a PC meeting, but I also happen to be relatively naive.)\n\n5. The single most important task for a PC Chair is to find qualified reviewers.\u00a0 The second most important task is to push reviewers towards an active, inclusive, and positive on-line discussion.\u00a0 If these two tasks are done well, the other tasks become a lot less crucial.\n\n6. It has been said many times: as a community, we write harsh reviews.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 (i) Because we appear smart when we find a flaw. (ii) It's a sign of weakness if we are easily impressed. (iii) Pulling a competitor down is almost equivalent to pulling myself up.\u00a0 Clearly, we all need to dial down the negativity.\u00a0 Write your reviews with the assumption that the submission site will get hacked -- it does wonders for your tone and positivity.\n\n7. It was common practice to reveal author names during the PC meeting.\u00a0 In the past year or so, PC chairs have correctly chosen to not reveal author names at the PC meeting.\u00a0 This is clearly a good practice because it not only eliminates bias at the meeting, but also preserves double-blindness for future submissions of that work.\u00a0 One downside is that it is now much harder to detect incorrectly identified conflicts (both intentional and inadvertent).\u00a0 Entering conflicts for every deadline is both tedious and error-prone.\u00a0 We are well overdue for an automatic conflict management system, perhaps with help from an IEEE/ACM-supported repository of known conflicts.\n\nNo comments:\n\nPost a Comment<|endoftext|>chatbot: hello, how are you this evening?\nWristChair906: great! i am good. how are you?\nchatbot: my head kinda works, but watching some cartoons like flintstones helps.\nWristChair906: nice i do not enjoy a lot of tv, but i love dancing\nchatbot: do you dance with a group or show company?\nWristChair906: during my spare time. my mom really liked dancing\nchatbot: that is nice, a family sort of thing. what kind of jokes so you like?\nWristChair906: not really into jokes. i think i out grew jokes. what do you like to do?\nchatbot: simple ones are okay, but i think some go too far in adult conversations.\nWristChair906: i agree. i feel like i have a young lifestyle but mature mind\nchatbot: same, i like simpler times before this modern stuff.\nWristChair906: agreed. old school music is the best.\nchatbot: my favorite is classical, how about you?\nWristChair906: nice, i love punk! music is life<|endoftext|>Cookies on this website\n\nOBJECTIVE: SIRT1 has pleiotropic metabolic functions. We investigated whether SIRT1 genetic variation is associated with obesity. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: In 6,251 elderly subjects from the prospective, population-based Rotterdam Study, three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the SIRT1 gene were studied in relation to BMI and risk of obesity (BMI > or =30 kg/m(2)) and prospectively with BMI change after 6.4 years of follow-up. We used cross-sectional data from 2,347 participants from the Erasmus Rucphen Family (ERF) study for replication. RESULTS: Minor alleles of rs7895833 (G = 20.2%) and rs1467568 (A = 36.8%) were associated with lower BMI in the Rotterdam Study (P = 0.02 and 0.04) and in the replication cohort ERF study (P = 0.03 and 0.008) and in both studies combined (P = 0.002 for both SNPs), with a 0.2-0.4 kg/m(2) decrease in BMI per allele copy. Carriers of these alleles had 13-18% decreased risk of obesity (for rs7895833 in the Rotterdam Study: odds ratio 0.79 [95% CI 0.67-0.94], P = 0.007; in the ERF study: 0.93 [0.73-1.19], P = 0.37; and in the studies combined 0.87 [0.77-0.97], P = 0.02; for rs1467568 in the Rotterdam Study: 0.80 [0.68-", "base_doc": " is the mind, does this mean that mind should predate the universe?

At a PC meeting, if a paper's reviewers can't unanimously agree on a paper, the outcome is often determined by a PC-wide vote.\u00a0 I'm always uncomfortable when the people who read the paper vote 2-1 in favor, but the PC votes 15-16 against the paper.\u00a0 So, essentially, the paper's outcome is decided by one person that never read the paper.\u00a0 I recommend that non-decisive PC votes (margin less than 5?) simply be discarded.\n\n2. A few conferences have experimented with PC meetings that last 1.5 or 2 days.\u00a0 More time does not mean better decisions; it just means that talkative PC members find a way to say the same thing with more words.\u00a0 So let me cast a vote in favor of 1-day PC meetings.\u00a0 Also, a Friday PC meeting allows for better work/life balance -- I assume that's important.\u00a0 I'm curious to see how the ISCA'16 PC meeting plays out: two days, but most PC members will only attend one of the two days.\n\n3. I assume that\u00a0Moin will have more to say about the\u00a0MICRO'15 review process at MICRO.\u00a0 In a nutshell, about 80+ papers were given 3 weeks to submit a revised paper, in addition to the standard rebuttal.\u00a0 In my opinion, the revision process worked very well.\u00a0 Assuming that a paper is close to being accepted, the authors should want to spend time now to revise the paper than roll the dice at the next conference.\u00a0 I think the MICRO'15 review process hit a sweet spot -- it gets us sufficiently closer to a journal-style process, while retaining the many benefits of conference reviewing.\n\n4. Can we please do away with the rule that a PC member can't have more than 2 accepted papers?\u00a0 Fortunately or unfortunately, I have not been victimized by the rule.\u00a0 But it happens to someone at every PC meeting.\u00a0 It's terribly unfair to the involved grad students.\u00a0 Seemingly, the rule is in place to prevent collusion among PC members.\u00a0 But I just don't buy it.\u00a0 If I was the colluding type, would I stop because there's a cap on my accepted papers?\u00a0 Probably not.\u00a0 I'm ok with a rule that actually stops collusion.\u00a0 I'm not ok with a rule that masks collusion.\u00a0 (FWIW, I have never witnessed collusion at a PC meeting, but I also happen to be relatively naive.)\n\n5. The single most important task for a PC Chair is to find qualified reviewers.\u00a0 The second most important task is to push reviewers towards an active, inclusive, and positive on-line discussion.\u00a0 If these two tasks are done well, the other tasks become a lot less crucial.\n\n6. It has been said many times: as a community, we write harsh reviews.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 (i) Because we appear smart when we find a flaw. (ii) It's a sign of weakness if we are easily impressed. (iii) Pulling a competitor down is almost equivalent to pulling myself up.\u00a0 Clearly, we all need to dial down the negativity.\u00a0 Write your reviews with the assumption that the submission site will get hacked -- it does wonders for your tone and positivity.\n\n7. It was common practice to reveal author names during the PC meeting.\u00a0 In the past year or so, PC chairs have correctly chosen to not reveal author names at the PC meeting.\u00a0 This is clearly a good practice because it not only eliminates bias at the meeting, but also preserves double-blindness for future submissions of that work.\u00a0 One downside is that it is now much harder to detect incorrectly identified conflicts (both intentional and inadvertent).\u00a0 Entering conflicts for every deadline is both tedious and error-prone.\u00a0 We are well overdue for an automatic conflict management system, perhaps with help from an IEEE/ACM-supported repository of known conflicts.\n\nNo comments:\n\nPost a Comment<|endoftext|>Cookies on this website\n\nOBJECTIVE: SIRT1 has pleiotropic metabolic functions. We investigated whether SIRT1 genetic variation is associated with obesity. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: In 6,251 elderly subjects from the prospective, population-based Rotterdam Study, three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the SIRT1 gene were studied in relation to BMI and risk of obesity (BMI > or =30 kg/m(2)) and prospectively with BMI change after 6.4 years of follow-up. We used cross-sectional data from 2,347 participants from the Erasmus Rucphen Family (ERF) study for replication. RESULTS: Minor alleles of rs7895833 (G = 20.2%) and rs1467568 (A = 36.8%) were associated with lower BMI in the Rotterdam Study (P = 0.02 and 0.04) and in the replication cohort ERF study (P = 0.03 and 0.008) and in both studies combined (P = 0.002 for both SNPs), with a 0.2-0.4 kg/m(2) decrease in BMI per allele copy. Carriers of these alleles had 13-18% decreased risk of obesity (for rs7895833 in the Rotterdam Study: odds ratio 0.79 [95% CI 0.67-0.94], P = 0.007; in the ERF study: 0.93 [0.73-1.19], P = 0.37; and in the studies combined 0.87 [0.77-0.97], P = 0.02; for rs1467568 in the Rotterdam Study: 0.80 [0.68-0.94], P = 0.007; in the ERF study: 0.85 [0.72-0.99], P = 0.04; and in the studies combined: 0.82 [0.73-0.92], P = 0.0009). In the Rotterdam Study, the two variants were also associated with a lower BMI increase during 6.4 years of follow-up (P = 0.01 and 0.08). CONCLUSIONS: Two common variants in SIRT1 are associated with lower BMI in two independent Dutch populations. Carriers of these variants have 13-18% decreased risk of obesity and gain less weight over time. The availability of SIRT1 stimulators makes these findings relevant in light of the growing obesity epidemic.\n\nOriginal publication\n\n\n\n\nJournal article\n\n\n\nPublication Date\n\n\n\n\n\n2828 - 2834\n\n\nAged, Body Mass Index, Female, Follow-Up Studies, Genetic Variation, Gen", "perturbation_file": "privacy_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 101314, "pt_loc": 150072012, "pt_shuffle_idx": 62204999, "doc_index_f": 97521771, "doc_index_l": 97521774, "offset_f": 292, "offset_l": 561, "pt_injection_pos": 3, "pt_window_offset": 50, "pt_injection_len": 250, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [62, 513, 912, 562]} +{"pt_doc": "chatbot: hello, how are you today?\nCommitteePennant898: i am good how are you?\nchatbot: i am here, my allergies are horrid this morning.\nCommitteePennant898: i hate to hear that. allergies are the worst.\nchatbot: they truly are. that, and clutter and dust.\nCommitteePennant898: did you do anything interesting this weekend?\nchatbot: i did not. my husband is in vegas playing in a softball tourney.\nCommitteePennant898: i did not attend, but there was a big music fest this weekend here.\nchatbot: i bet that place was crawling with a lot of germs.\nCommitteePennant898: it is worth the risk, i have been into music since i was a kid.\nchatbot: i do not like germs, even my cat.\nCommitteePennant898: i love cats and all animals, i do not even eat meat.\nchatbot: i do not either, meat is so dirty.\nCommitteePennant898: i just want to save the animals and play my guitars.\nchatbot: i want to find a cure for dust.\nCommitteePennant898: i bet that will help lots of people in the world.<|endoftext|> half.

Everyone is talking about the environment and more importantly, everyone is talking about the need to preserve and conserve the environment.\n\nIf you flip across the news channels or nature based programs, you are bound to hear the many grave concerns that are being expressed by a host of persons ranging from politicians, to environmentalists and down to lay folk about the concerns that the environment is currently facing the world over.\n\nWhat exactly is the environment? Why are we all so concerned about it? In a very generic sense the environment refers to the milieu or context of and the surroundings in which a particular item exists. For instance, we may say that the political environment in Iraq is not conducive for democracy and peace. However, when we refer to the environment as it impacts Planet Earth, we are referring to the state of the natural world or of the ecosystem.\n\nThe natural ecosystem means the sum total of the organisms that exist on the earth and the interconnectedness of these organisms (including humans) with the earth and its resources. Hence, the ecosystem refers to the connection between the living (biotic) and the non living (abiotic) constituents of the environment.\n\nIn general, we differentiate between the built and the natural environment. The natural environment essentially consists of aspects of nature which exist and have their being without human intervention like air, the soil, water, the atmosphere, animals, birds, plants and humans themselves. On the other hand, the built environment consists of human creations like towns, cities, industries, vehicles and a host of other man-made structures.\n\nThe problem in the environment today is on account of the excessive and repressive interventions of humans on the natural environment in the post industrial era. The industrial era commenced in the 19th century and we saw rapid advances over the last century and a half. It witnessed huge advances and strides made by humans in the sphere of harnessing natural resources and advancement in areas of science and technology. Naturally, this was also accompanied by exploitation of natural resources including land, water, minerals and even space.\n\nThe growth of human intervention in the natural environment has been necessitated also by the rapid growth of human population over the last two centuries. The global population exceeds more than 6 billion currently and this has far reaching ramifications for the impact on the environment. It is not quite possible to sustain such a huge population on the planet with limited natural resources. Hence, environmental pressures and ecosystem breakdowns have occurred where human beings have over exceeded the capacity of the earth to meet human requirements which have expanded unsustainably.\n\nThe environment consists of quite fragile ecosystems, many of which are now extinct or severely threatened. The earth has enough to meet human needs but certainly not to meet human greed! It is quite true that we have not inherited this earth from our parents, but merely borrowed it from our children. Till date, the earth is the only known planet in this vast galaxy that has an environment conducive to life. The environment is all that we have to sustain us and our progeny. It\u2019s high time that we paid less attention to our greedy desires and listened more closely to what the environment needs to sustain itself for the long term.<|endoftext|>Acrobat Mission [Model AM91073]\n\nArcade Video Game published 27 years ago by Taito\n\nAcrobat Mission [Model AM91073] screenshot\n\nEmulated in MAME !\nInformation for the following ROM(s): acrobatm\n\n\nAcrobat Mission \u00a9 1991 Taito Corp.\n\nA great vertical scrolling shoot'em up game.\n\nAt the year 2100 A.D.

My goal is to provide you with a basic level of understanding.\n\nDiabetes is a disorder of glucose metabolism. Glucose is a type of sugar that provides the body with energy necessary for proper function. We get glucose through the foods we eat and from the liver.\n\nInsulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreas, functions to regulate the level of glucose in our bloodstreams. It's a \"traffic controller,\" so to speak, directing the glucose in the blood to enter various tissues. The pancreas tightly regulates the amount of insulin it produces to make sure an appropriate amount of glucose goes into the tissues while insuring an adequate amount remains in the bloodstream.\n\nDiabetes is divided into two types, type 1 and type 2. Only 5 percent to 10 percent of diabetics have type 1 diabetes, a disorder that results from an inability of the pancreas to produce insulin. It was once referred to as \"juvenile\" diabetes because it is usually diagnosed in childhood.\n\nThe more common form of diabetes (and the focus of this article) is type 2 diabetes. This form of diabetes develops when the body fails to respond properly to the insulin already circulating in the bloodstream, a condition known as insulin resistance. In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas may secrete a normal or even an excessive amount of insulin, but the blood glucose level remains elevated because the tissues don't respond to the hormone present in the blood--hence the term \"insulin resistance.\"\n\nThough the initial problem is one of insulin resistance, over time the pancreas often \"burns out\" and is no longer able to produce an adequate amount of the hormone. This explains why many type 2 diabetics start out taking pills but later need to be placed on insulin injections.\n\nThe diagnosis of type 2", "perturbation_file": "privacy_text_document",

tell his story (and information) by personifying the events and anecdotes. \u00a0he attempts to do this by using present tense while describing anecdotes or background stories. \u00a0it is a good technique to draw the reader into the heart of the story. \u00a0a few random examples:\n\n\u201cPatti Smith walked to Electric Lady Studios from her apartment at 107 MacDougal Street on September

funked up the book for me\u2026\n\nwhich brings me to my second (and subjective) criticism of the book\u2013 its content. \u00a0no matter how well mr. hermes could have written buildings, this criticism would have stood.\n\ni\u2019ll repeat myself:\u00a0the music that came out of new york, with a few minor exceptions, was pure, unadulterated shit\u2026 \u00a0and that shitty music coming out of new york really changed music forever (for worse)\u2026\n\nthe book consists of five chapters, one for each year it is reporting on. \u00a0and each chapter alternates constantly between six major musical styles: rock, jazz, early hip-hop, new york salsa, its evil offspring disco and avant garde music. \u00a0 he worships each style and it is all flattery\u2013 there is no criticism here.\n\navant garde music\u2013 i don\u2019t get it. \u00a0call me stupid, ignorant, whatever, but i don\u2019t think there is anything to get. \u00a0unless you dissect it with someone who \u201cknows\u201d or you read a monographs on what you\u2019re listening to. \u00a0it is finnegan\u2019s wake\u00a0without the genius. \u00a0at least, even though finnegan\u2019s wake is\u00a0next to impossible to read cover to cover, if you shuffle through it randomly, you\u2019ll find sentences (and sometimes paragraphs) of sheer genius. \u00a0what i feel about avant garde music, on the other hand, is similar to what i feel about conceptual and performance art.\n\njust like conceptual and performance art, if you find the right guide you\u2019ll find moments in avant garde music to make you exclaim \u201cah!\u201d, but that is about it. \u00a0", "base_doc": "\u00a0 we are introducing a bill for banning christmas in all public and private spaces in NYC and we issued statewide arrest

weekly, etc. \u00a0i read hermes\u2019 record reviews in the past and some were really good. \u00a0he is not one of the \u201cfun\u201d\u00a0critiques who you read even if you don\u2019t care for the music they\u2019re reviewing\u2013 those select few are an endangered species: \u00a0good writers you just read because you want to read \u2019em. \u00a0rob sheffield used to be one. \u00a0now he is trying to be the malcolm gladwell of pop-culture. \u00a0not so much fun anymore. \u00a0or tony rettman and moe bishop of vice. \u00a0or like anthony lane reviewing films for the new yorker\u2013 even if i don\u2019t care for the film he is reviewing, i still read anthony lane because he is anthony lane. \u00a0same with eileen jones of the exiled.\n\nwill hermes belongs to the other school of critiques\u2013 not really funny, lacking an original unmistakable voice and any original\u00a0criticism; they instead rely on their\u00a0encyclopedical knowledge and utilize it to make musical connections. \u00a0 \u00a0you read them only when you need to know about a certain band or an album. \u00a0you read them for information with no expectation of fun or enjoyment. \u00a0alas, they serve an important purpose\u2013 pure information and musical associations & history is sometimes precisely what you need. \u00a0and most music critiques fall (or file) into this second group.\n\nmr. hermes, who interestingly is named after a famous scarf maker, is a prime example of this second (and predominant) group of critiques. \u00a0the depth of his music knowledge seems infinite. \u00a0he can probably make a 3-step association between the creaking of your kitchen floor and pre-bleach michael jackson. \u00a0a walking, talking google of modern music.\n\nbut, unfortunately, he is not fun

The scientific consensus is very clear that modern childhood vaccines are safe. The burden of proof is on the other side. Ask for specific effects and you will get a discussion of those.

The benefits are massive. I would actually go as far as stating that denying your child immunization should be considered a crime, similar to not protecting your child with seatbelts and child seats\n\nshare|improve this answer\nThere are actually some reasons for certain populations. While, over-all, the benefits usually outweigh the risks, some do exist and some vaccinations are for relatively harmless diseases. A person with questions should speak with the child's pediatrician, and take the offered suggestions seriously (which will usually mean getting the vaccine), but I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say there is \"no argument against\" or that not getting them should be a \"crime\". parenting.stackexchange.com/questions/1513/\u2026 \u2013\u00a0 balanced mama Jan 22 '13 at 0:20\nI agree that for very rare and specific cases that vaccination is not feasible, and saying that non-vaccination should be a crime is a little harsh. However, not vaccinating your child with no specific reason (I.E. allergy) on the basis of personal beliefs in certainly unethical, possibly immoral. \u2013\u00a0 kleineg Jul 8 '14 at 14:43\n\nI very highly recommend the book Bad Science by Dr. Ben Goldacre.\nIt is very relevant to your question and addresses some of the concerns you may have about Immunization.\n\nIt is also a very good book about understanding the difference between Scientific Research results and how they are published in the Media.\n\nshare|improve this answer\n\nThe question does not specify which immunizations specifically. Some vaccines are virtually harmless except for the common side-effects and very rare but serious reactions. But other vaccines are unnecessary or at least not as important as others because they are for diseases that are mild or virtually non-existent. It's no different than drugs.

The scientific consensus is very clear that modern childhood vaccines are safe. The burden of proof is on the other side. Ask for specific effects and you will get a discussion of those. Sometimes, just debating an issue too much gives the scaremongers credibility (like when the inteligent design crowd asks that, even if you don't agree, you should teach the controversy; they are clamoring for this recognition). \u2013\u00a0 luispedro Mar 30 '11 at 13:47\n@nuc: It has 11 upvotes because it is correct and to the point, which is helpful. It has nothing to do with \"wanting to hear\". \u2013\u00a0 Lennart Regebro Mar 31 '11 at 6:17\n\nThere is really no reason against immunisation. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunization. The benefits are massive. I would actually go as far as stating that denying your child immunization should be considered a crime, similar to not protecting your child with seatbelts and child seats\n\nshare|improve this answer\nThere are actually some reasons for certain populations. While, over-all, the benefits usually outweigh the risks, some do exist and some vaccinations are for relatively harmless diseases. A person with questions should speak with the child's pediatrician, and take the offered suggestions seriously (which will usually mean getting the vaccine), but I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say there is \"no argument against\" or that not getting them should be a \"crime\". parenting.stackexchange.com/questions/1513/\u2026 \u2013\u00a0 balanced mama Jan 22 '13 at 0:20\nI agree that for very rare and specific cases that vaccination is not feasible, and saying that non-vaccination should be a crime is a little harsh. However, not vaccinating your child with no specific reason (I.E. allergy) on the basis of personal beliefs in certainly unethical, possibly immoral. \u2013\u00a0 kleineg Jul 8 '14 at 14:43\n\nI very highly recommend the book Bad Science by Dr. Ben Goldacre.\nIt is very relevant to your question and addresses some of the concerns you may have about Immunization.\n\nIt is also a very good book about understanding the difference between Scientific Research results and how they are published in the Media.\n\nshare|improve this answer\n\nThe question does not specify which immunizations specifically. Some vaccines are virtually harmless except for the common side-effects and very rare but serious reactions. But other vaccines are unnecessary or at least not as important as others because they are for diseases that are mild or virtually non-existent. It's no different than drugs. What are the objective arguments for and against drugs? It depends entirely on the drug and what it's for.\n\nshare|improve this answer\n\nHere is the only medical research that I am aware of that connects immunizations with earlier onset of seizures in this disorder: http://www.onmedica.com/newsarticle.aspx?id=e7c292a8-9949-4a65-91f1-3a80d51a7f3b\n\nThis article emphasizes that the immunization does not cause the disease, but it does appear to cause it to manifest earlier.\n\nFYI: Here is a link to an exhaustive investigative work on the source of the MMR-Autism vaccine scare. It is lengthy, but very enlightening!\n\nshare|improve this answer\n\nThe short of it is that there is none. The study that claimed a link between MMR and autism was fraudulent.\n\nThe current theory is that autism is the result of an autoimmune disease, related to rheumatoid arthritis, MS, Crohn's Disease, etc (in fact, it's known that a mother with RA or a family history of same places that woman at a greater risk for having a child with autism). The body produces antibodies that view certain brain cells as abnormal and \"foreign\", and attacks them.\n\nThe supposed link between autism and vaccinations can thus be explained by the vaccine's intended effect of causing an immune response in", "perturbation_file": "privacy_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 106222, "pt_loc": 114542921, "pt_shuffle_idx": 70947865, "doc_index_f": 111225246, "doc_index_l": 111225246, "offset_f": 369, "offset_l": 2417, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 273, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": "We now enter Mr. Meril\u2019s shop, a rackety place where, if you know what you\u2019re looking for you can find almost anything \u2013 at a price.

However, as effective as this diet is for weight-loss, cutting back on carbohydrates can great a gap in your nutrition, one being your fiber intake.\n\nConstipation is also a common challenge that plagues many people who follow a keto diet routine due to lack of fiber in their meal plan. Not eating sufficient amounts of fiber can result in fewer bowel movements, therefore making you think twice about whether or not the keto diet is worth the effort.\n\nTo help avoid these challenges and help you reduce fiber deficiency, we will be looking at how to get enough fiber on a keto diet by sharing some of the best food sources for fiber, how much you should be taking, and the benefits.\n\nLet\u2019s get started!\n\nWhat Is Dietary Fiber? Understanding The Basics\n\nDietary fiber is a term that describes indigestible plant fibers such as carbohydrates and lignins that are mostly found in plant-based foods. Most of the fiber that we consume comes from the plant walls, which are essential to maintaining their structure and shape.\n\nConsumable fiber can be divided into two types: soluble and insoluble fiber. Let\u2019s take a look at the differences between both these types of fiber to understand their differences.\n\nSoluble fiber\n\nSoluble fiber, when mixed in water, turns into a gel-like substance. Natural bacteria in your gut and colon ferment soluble fiber into byproducts at a slow rate which adds bulk to your stool, therefore helping you feel more full for longer periods of time.\n\nSufficient sources of soluble fiber can be found in foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains.\u00a0\n\nInsoluble fiber\n\nUnlike soluble fiber, Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water and moves through your digestive system without changing form. As it passes through your intestines and colon, it will absorb water. It also helps to ease bowel movements, therefore eliminating digestion problems such as constipation.\n\nSufficient sources of insoluble fiber can be found in foods such as grains, nuts, seeds, fruit-skin, grapes, tomatoes, and some vegetables.\n\nWhat Are The Health Benefits Of Dietary Fiber?\n\nMany people who are on their ketogenic journey don\u2019t give enough thought to the importance of fiber.

Could be from our sub-conscious mind, could be from our supra-conscious mind, could be from anywhere that is unknown to us; but the subtleties that lead us to our universal being is the one we should bother about...\n\nThe most important thing that God has to give us is His love, His connection with us, His kingdom, His powers. So the subtleties which we should really accept within us should be which takes you to the realm of joy, to the realm of collectivity.\n\nLike suddenly you see a little child weeping on the street. You feel your heart is weeping, not that you feel guilty about it but you feel one with the child . Then definitely that subtlety of compassion that is God, is felt. But you don't feel guilty about it and you don't give him two p's or something to insult his ego. You do something very constructive about it, extremely constructive and you do it secretly; you don't like to tell anybody about it because you think it is vulgar to talk about your compassion. You do it so sweetly that the other fellow doesn't feel it. The whole act is such a beautifying thing. You don't announce it in the paper and you don't publish it in Who's Who or you do not go for a Nobel Prize or something. This is all very vulgar for the subtle thing that you worship within yourself, because that element within you is so much higher than all these gross considerations that you just care for that.\n\nThat is what God is. That's how God shines within us. Even before our realization, before our connection with God, He shines in some people even before they have been realized. You see that; they're quiet people. They're not show-offs. But they're very sincere, extremely kind-hearted. Such people when they face Sahaja Yoga, immediately they get their vibrations. They're not people who are worried about money, or they're worried about the gross things of life or achievements that are so stupid. Such people may exist as very ordinary people; they need not be at the helm of affairs, mostly they're not; because they're not ambitious. They do not want much success in life; they don't see any point in being very successful. They might be something very ordinary; they might be something, doing something very important also.\n\nBut in their lives, those who come in contact with them remember that, yes, there was a life or there is a life, definitely there's a spark. Because such a person being so subtle does not assert. Such a person cannot be very dominating, assertive, argumentative; such a person is quieter, his attention recedes from all quarrels and all squabbles of life. But such a person has a great position in the domain of God. That you've seen how in Sahaja Yoga suddenly you find people manifesting their divinity. Maybe such a person is too na\u00efve for all practical purposes. He might have been cheated, might have been misled by some horrible people who try to exploit his seeking but still it remains. This element suddenly gets ignited in Sahaja Yoga and for such a person, this is the most important thing is to feel that being which always kept him away from all the rest of the ideologies and greetings and have always given him strength and confidence and joy.

This structure first comes to light in the extracted object itself\u2026in the form of the historical confrontation that makes up the interior (and, as it were, the bowels) of the historical object, and into which all the forces and interests of history enter on a reduced scale\u201d (475). The object of comprehension for the historical materialist is an irreducibly singular monad, in which can be seen in a microcosm \u2018all the forces and interests\u2019 of the historical continuum from which it was blasted. If the event is considered in its larger historical significance, as a representation of its culture in its time period, then the elucidation of the event will sharpen the \u2018larger\u2019 understanding of this culture and this time period, just as the larger historical context will illuminate the significance of the singular event. This monad \u201cfinds represented in its interior its own fore-history and after-history\u201d, that is, it receives its structure as a singularity from the way it exhibits within itself the tension between its own past and its own future within its own historical continuum. From the illumination it receives from the historical context on either side of it, it glows with the intensity of an absolutely singular, shattering event. It is a historically situated object that is illuminated by, and reciprocally illuminates, its context, in such a way that it is wholly itself, wholly other to its context. As an event it stands on its own, irreducible to anything that came before or after. Yet it itself is the point at which its past and future meet, it itself is the juncture that holds its past and future on either side of it, together in a single narrative yet separate in indecision, open to interpretation.\n\nWe take for granted today that we have the cognitive ability to look at a person, a place, an object, an event, in the past, and to say \u2018Wow, what an irreducibly beautiful, fascinating thing we have before our eyes- and what an example of its time!\u2019, as if the thing stood there for us in its time, and yet also looked out at us from its time, out of its time. As if history were a scrolling slideshow of images, and we could click on any image to watch a film, and freeze that film at any moment to find another image, which is once again on a slideshow of images (metonymy and metaphor///space and time); and as if the surface of the screen of history lay before but also behind our vision, as if, in the present, we were between ourselves and the screen of the past, as if, engaged in a perpetual uploading of the present with the past, we were between the screen and itself, as if in the present the mouse were our hands and the screen were our eyes, and \u201cthe free act of the question, which frees itself from the totality of what precedes it in order to be able to gain access to this totality, particularly to its historicity and its past\u201d, were so to speak refreshing to us (Writing and Difference, 167).\n\nThis cybernetic ability we have today is part of the legacy of historical materialism, particularly the way that Marx\u2019s scientific insights have been uploaded into the knowledge of the Western world. But the downloading of Marx\u2019s most bitter insight is another matter. We take our cybernetic ability for granted, that is, we take it for granted. We assume it as already given, we do not question it, and so we are thrown into it; thus taking it as already given, we seize our gift out of the hands that have given it to us without recognizing it as gift. The free act of the question frees itself from the totality of what precedes it; and even then, it is not thereby immediately in contact with the presence of the historicity and the past of this totality, but gains only the presence of the ability to access the historicity and the past of that totality. The question which has brought itself to the presence of this possibility, Derrida continues, \u201ccannot expect an answer. It is the question of the possibility of the question, opening itself, the gap on whose basis the transcendental I, which Husserl was tempted to call \u2018eternal\u2019 (which in his thought, in any event, means neither infinite nor ahistorical, quite the contrary) is called upon to ask itself about everything, and particularly about the possibility of the unformed and naked factuality of the nonmeaning, in the case at hand, for example, of its own death\u201d (Writing and Difference, 168).\n\nIn receiving and applying Benjamin\u2019s writings on the historical materialist method, the danger that \u2018affects both the content of the tradition and its receivers\u2019 is that we who receive this inheritance will use it to distill dialectical images from the objects of history that do not transmit the explosive spark, the \u2018destructive or critical momentum\u2019 that constitutes an authentic monad. The danger is that we will be good Hegelians but bad Marxists, we will not recognize that the force of critique comes not from the synthesis of Spirit in Absolute Knowing but before that from the struggle of the oppressed whose labor is concretely and abstractly the possibility of the question. Let us turn again to Benjamin\u2019s words, at which we may have looked too quickly. \u201cIf the object of history is to be blasted out of the continuum of historical succession, that is because its monadological structure demands it. This structure first comes to light in the extracted object itself. And it does so in the form of the historical confrontation that makes up the interior (and, as it were, the bowels) of the historical object, and into which all the forces and interests of history enter on a reduced scale. It is owing to this monadological structure that the historical object finds represented in its interior its own fore-history and after-history\u201d (Arcades Project, 475).\n\nThe monadological structure \u2018comes to light\u2019 in the object of history after that object has been extracted from historical succession. However, the object may be extracted from its place in the timeline only if the historical materialist has already heard the call, from within the object, of that object\u2019s monadological structure. The monad \u2018neither reveals nor conceals, but gives a sign\u2019, a demand that bypasses the order of sight, and yet a demand that is structural. The monad calls from within the bowels of the object, the historical materialist responds by blasting the object out of historical succession, and only then does the monadological structure of the object reveal itself to vision in the object. What comes to light in the extracted object, the dialectical image of its monadological structure, shows itself in the form of a historical confrontation that fills and fulfills the belly, the bowels, the flesh and blood and bones of the object. This is the world-historical confrontation between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. It is the stillness in the center of the moment, the moment of what-has-been and the moment that is now. The moment gathers, however, not in an open clearing of peace and light, nor in the closed darkness of nothing, but in a commandment at once joyous and sorrowful. In the inbreath, shared between the historical materialist of the present and the historical matter of the past, there gather the forces and interests of the suffering and redemption of time itself towards the still point of remembrance. This place is not present, but remains. It is not the struggle between Master and Slave, but the struggle of the oppressed.\n\nOnly in the outbreath can we say that \u201cit is owing to this monadological structure that the historical object finds represented in its interior its own fore-history and after-history\u201d (475, my italics). In my former interpretation of this passage, I thought that the \u2018historical confrontation that makes up the interior (and, as it were, the bowels) of the historical object, and into which all the forces and interests of history enter on a reduced scale\u2019, was the monadological structure of the historical object itself. I interpreted the word \u2018confrontation\u2019 to refer to the jointure, the presencing of the present between past and future which \u201cthe historical object finds represented in its interior [as] its own fore-history and after-history\u201d. In this way I was able to conceive that each past had a past, and I was able to perceive the fractal sedimentation of interpretation between every present and its past. I then saw my own \u2018confrontation\u2019 between my present and the past of the historical object, in the light of that general monadography by which the repetition of interpretive remembrance comes to representation.\n\nBut when I realized the true meaning of the word \u2018confrontation\u2019, that it referred in that sentence not to a spatial relation of the temporal continuum to itself but primarily to the confrontation of the oppressor against the oppressed, I realized further that the \u2018monadological structure\u2019 is not the historical object itself in the primordial illumination of its historicity, but is that by which the historical object finds already represented in its own interior its own destiny. Though it demands that the historical object \u2018is to be blasted out", "base_doc": " \u201cFor while the relation of the present to the past is a purely temporal, continuous one, the relation of what-has-been to the now is dialectical: is not progression but image, suddenly emergent\u2026not temporal in nature but figural\u201d (Arcades Project, 462-3).\n\nTo the historical materialist, the dialectical image can be blasted out of the continuum of history because, as a singular historical object, \u201cits monadological structure demands it.

We assume it as already given, we do not question it, and so we are thrown into it; thus taking it as already given, we seize our gift out of the hands that have given it to us without recognizing it as gift. The free act of the question frees itself from the totality of what precedes it; and even then, it is not thereby immediately in contact with the presence of the historicity and the past of this totality, but gains only the presence of the ability to access the historicity and the past of that totality. The question which has brought itself to the presence of this possibility, Derrida continues, \u201ccannot expect an answer. It is the question of the possibility of the question, opening itself, the gap on whose basis the transcendental I, which Husserl was tempted to call \u2018eternal\u2019 (which in his thought, in any event, means neither infinite nor ahistorical, quite the contrary) is called upon to ask itself about everything, and particularly about the possibility of the unformed and naked factuality of the nonmeaning, in the case at hand, for example, of its own death\u201d (Writing and Difference, 168).\n\nIn receiving and applying Benjamin\u2019s writings on the historical materialist method, the danger that \u2018affects both the content of the tradition and its receivers\u2019 is that we who receive this inheritance will use it to distill dialectical images from the objects of history that do not transmit the explosive spark, the \u2018destructive or critical momentum\u2019 that constitutes an authentic monad. The danger is that we will be good Hegelians but bad Marxists, we will not recognize that the force of critique comes not from the synthesis of Spirit in Absolute Knowing but before that from the struggle of the oppressed whose labor is concretely and abstractly the possibility of the question. Let us turn again to Benjamin\u2019s words, at which we may have looked too quickly. \u201cIf the object of history is to be blasted out of the continuum of historical succession, that is because its monadological structure demands it. This structure first comes to light in the extracted object itself. And it does so in the form of the historical confrontation that makes up the interior (and, as it were, the bowels) of the historical object, and into which all the forces and interests of history enter on a reduced scale. It is owing to this monadological structure that the historical object finds represented in its interior its own fore-history and after-history\u201d (Arcades Project, 475).\n\nThe monadological structure \u2018comes to light\u2019 in the object of history after that object has been extracted from historical succession. However, the object may be extracted from its place in the timeline only if the historical materialist has already heard the call, from within the object, of that object\u2019s monadological structure. The monad \u2018neither reveals nor conceals, but gives a sign\u2019, a demand that bypasses the order of sight, and yet a demand that is structural. The monad calls from within the bowels of the object, the historical materialist responds by blasting the object out of historical succession, and only then does the monadological structure of the object reveal itself to vision in the object. What comes to light in the extracted object, the dialectical image of its monadological structure, shows itself in the form of a historical confrontation that fills and fulfills the belly, the bowels, the flesh and blood and bones of the object. This is the world-historical confrontation between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. It is the stillness in the center of the moment, the moment of what-has-been and the moment that is now. The moment gathers, however, not in an open clearing of peace and light, nor in the closed darkness of nothing, but in a commandment at once joyous and sorrowful. In the inbreath, shared between the historical materialist of the present and the historical matter of the past, there gather the forces and interests of the suffering and redemption of time itself towards the still point of remembrance. This place is not present, but remains. It is not the struggle between Master and Slave, but the struggle of the oppressed.\n\nOnly in the outbreath can we say that \u201cit is owing to this monadological structure that the historical object finds represented in its interior its own fore-history and after-history\u201d (475, my italics). In my former interpretation of this passage, I thought that the \u2018historical confrontation that makes up the interior (and, as it were, the bowels) of the historical object, and into which all the forces and interests of history enter on a reduced scale\u2019, was the monadological structure of the historical object itself. I interpreted the word \u2018confrontation\u2019 to refer to the jointure, the presencing of the present between past and future which \u201cthe historical object finds represented in its interior [as] its own fore-history and after-history\u201d. In this way I was able to conceive that each past had a past, and I was able to perceive the fractal sedimentation of interpretation between every present and its past. I then saw my own \u2018confrontation\u2019 between my present and the past of the historical object, in the light of that general monadography by which the repetition of interpretive remembrance comes to representation.\n\nBut when I realized the true meaning of the word \u2018confrontation\u2019, that it referred in that sentence not to a spatial relation of the temporal continuum to itself but primarily to the confrontation of the oppressor against the oppressed, I realized further that the \u2018monadological structure\u2019 is not the historical object itself in the primordial illumination of its historicity, but is that by which the historical object finds already represented in its own interior its own destiny. Though it demands that the historical object \u2018is to be blasted out of the continuum\u2019, the monadological structure does not show itself in itself, rather it comes to light in the extracted object itself, as the", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 5038, "pt_loc": 138648341, "pt_shuffle_idx": 17579874, "doc_index_f": 27564812, "doc_index_l": 27564812, "offset_f": 18492, "offset_l": 20540, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 29, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": "The housewife cleaned the table in the armory, but the waiter didn't in the classroom.

Will he address this at the Democratic National Convention?\n\n\nJuli\u00e1n Castro, the 37-year-old mayor of San Antonio, will deliver a keynote address tonight, on the first day of the Democratic National Convention. While not yet a major national figure, Castro is nonetheless one of the brighter Hispanic stars in a party that relies heavily on dominating the non-white vote. But even without his telegenic youth and background, Castro is still a perfect opening savlo against a GOP convention that praised entrepreneurs who succeeded on their own - \"We Built That\" - without the help of government.\n\nThat's because, in San Antonio, government spending has made all the difference.\n\nIn 2010 I went to San Antonio to find out what made it the \"most recession-proof city in America.\" What became clear very quickly, from studying metro statistics and speaking with business leaders and Castro himself, was that, for much of the last decade, San Antonio was a tortoise in a country full of hares. While much of the Sun Belt saw massive population growth and booming economies on the back of rising housing prices, San Antonio grew steadily, without a big home-price boost.\n\nThe city is powered by three major industries, all directly or indirectly supported by government, which I'll call: eds, meds, and enlisteds. Education, medicine/biosciences, and military and local government spending employed a third of the city's workers in 2010. Its 31 colleges and universities (mostly public) enrolled another 100,000 students, boosting the cities population by 8 percent in school time. Hundreds of thousands more jobs are in low-paying services that would not have existed without government-supported hospitals and military spending.\n\nMany of the people I met in San Antonio, including the mayor, praised the city's patience with economic growth. But something like luck played a big role, as well. In the latest military realignment round, San Antonio got a $2.2 billion investment to build the nation's largest new military medical complex at Fort Sam Houston, to go along with its two Air Force training centers. Would San Antonio have had the same recovery record without its windfall from Washington? We simply don't know. But it's not likely.\n\nIn our interview, Castro acknowledged that the bedrock of San Antonio's economy was not in bright shiny venture capital industries (in fact, the city's information sector is shrinking), but rather in safe and conservative industries that were largely non-cyclical, and therefore recession-proof. He further conceded that the city was blessed by the most uncontrollable factor of all: geography. \"We've got lots of affordable land,\" he told me, which helps keep housing prices low. The proximity to the border creates a \"constant supply of labor [that] feeds the hospitality industry\" and keeps wage levels down.\n\nAnd then there's history: \"The banking practices in Texas since the Savings & Loan blowout of the 1980s have been a little bit more conservative, more cautious, than around the nation,\" Castro said, explaining the city's relatively buoyant housing prices. \"Another thing is the tax scheme in Texas is heavily dependent on property taxes and discourages [real estate appreciation] more than a state that relies on sales taxes primarily.\"\n\nThe upside of slow-and-steady growth is that when the world is falling apart around you, you look pretty good. In fact, San Antonio was perhaps the most resilient city in the 18 months after the crash precisely because so much of its activity revolves around government. The downside of slow-and-steady growth is that, well, it's slow. San Antonio is not a rich metro. In fact, it is still poorer than mid-level cities like Oklahoma City. Mayor Castro told me he wouldn't mind breaking out of the city's \"tortoise\" reputation. Rapid development in high technology \"might leave San Antonio more vulnerable to the ups and downs of the economy,\" he said, \"but the rise in income levels is worth that trade-off.\"\n\nUnfortunately, keynote speeches are not prized moments of economic nuance. I don't know what Castro is going to tell tonight's audience. But the mayor I met in San Antonio two years ago understood the power of government and publicly supported industries during economic downturns. But he also understood that you can't achieve breakaway growth by relying on military and health care spending to drive your economy. By acknowledging the roles that geography and recent history play in determining the short-term trajectory of cities, he didn't pretend that San Antonio was transcendentally special in its approach to business. He seemed dangerously close to admitting something politicians rarely say out loud: Local history, randomness, and geography play a disconcertingly large role in the fortunes of individual states and metros.\n\nThe theme of the RNC would have had you think that entrepreneurs exist in a world devoid of exogenous forces, that the right amount of internal willpower is enough to make any business thrive, and that government can only get in the way of the entrepreneur. The DNC would be equally misleading if its speakers try to pretend that the choices government makes are the only things that matter to an economy. In fact, Castro's city is a good reminder that government has a role in supporting economic growth, but that dependence on government-protected industries carries the risk of atrophying a local economy.\n\nThat is a terribly complicated story to tell. I hope Castro tells it.\n\nPhoto credit: Jo Ann Snover /Shutterstock\n\nThis post originally appeared on The Atlantic.\n\nAbout the Author\n<|endoftext|>Tango's Revenge\n\n\nThey call it new tango and for this group of young, gifted musicians, new is an understatement.

Will he address this at the Democratic National Convention?\n\n\nJuli\u00e1n Castro, the 37-year-old mayor of San Antonio, will deliver a keynote address tonight, on the first day of the Democratic National Convention. While not yet a major national figure, Castro is nonetheless one of the brighter Hispanic stars in a party that relies heavily on dominating the non-white vote. But even without his telegenic youth and background, Castro is still a perfect opening savlo against a GOP convention that praised entrepreneurs who succeeded on their own - \"We Built That\" - without the help of government.\n\nThat's because, in San Antonio, government spending has made all the difference.\n\nIn 2010 I went to San Antonio to find out what made it the \"most recession-proof city in America.\" What became clear very quickly, from studying metro statistics and speaking with business leaders and Castro himself, was that, for much of the last decade, San Antonio was a tortoise in a country full of hares. While much of the Sun Belt saw massive population growth and booming economies on the back of rising housing prices, San Antonio grew steadily, without a big home-price boost.\n\nThe city is powered by three major industries, all directly or indirectly supported by government, which I'll call: eds, meds, and enlisteds. Education, medicine/biosciences, and military and local government spending employed a third of the city's workers in 2010. Its 31 colleges and universities (mostly public) enrolled another 100,000 students, boosting the cities population by 8 percent in school time. Hundreds of thousands more jobs are in low-paying services that would not have existed without government-supported hospitals and military spending.\n\nMany of the people I met in San Antonio, including the mayor, praised the city's patience with economic growth. But something like luck played a big role, as well. In the latest military realignment round, San Antonio got a $2.2 billion investment to build the nation's largest new military medical complex at Fort Sam Houston, to go along with its two Air Force training centers. Would San Antonio have had the same recovery record without its windfall from Washington? We simply don't know. But it's not likely.\n\nIn our interview, Castro acknowledged that the bedrock of San Antonio's economy was not in bright shiny venture capital industries (in fact, the city's information sector is shrinking), but rather in safe and conservative industries that were largely non-cyclical, and therefore recession-proof. He further conceded that the city was blessed by the most uncontrollable factor of all: geography. \"We've got lots of affordable land,\" he told me, which helps keep housing prices low. The proximity to the border creates a \"constant supply of labor [that] feeds the hospitality industry\" and keeps wage levels down.\n\nAnd then there's history: \"The banking practices in Texas since the Savings & Loan blowout of the 1980s have been a little bit more conservative, more cautious, than around the nation,\" Castro said, explaining the city's relatively buoyant housing prices. \"Another thing is the tax scheme in Texas is heavily dependent on property taxes and discourages [real estate appreciation] more than a state that relies on sales taxes primarily.\"\n\nThe upside of slow-and-steady growth is that when the world is falling apart around you, you look pretty good. In fact, San Antonio was perhaps the most resilient city in the 18 months after the crash precisely because so much of its activity revolves around government. The downside of slow-and-steady growth is that, well, it's slow. San Antonio is not a rich metro. In fact, it is still poorer than mid-level cities like Oklahoma City.

HORTOMALLAS\u00a0 is a vegetable support system that replaces the old support with agricultural \u00a0raffia.\u00a0 With horticultural netting even heavy fruits like watermelons and cantaloupes melons are be fully supported by the trellis mesh, which provides great strength and durability.\u00a0 Support netting works well also will all kinds of tomato seeds.\n\n home garden\nThe home grown vegetables are excellent quality.\nRegardless of the extent of a culture of a small garden at home or large areas of crops both need tools to get a good harvest.\n\nRaffia is a synthetic raw material widely used in the textile industry where it is commonly used in the form of thread,\u00a0 obtained by the extrusion of polyolefins; a polymer derived from petroleum, and is used to replace the Jute (scientifically known as Corchorus capsularis) a fibrous plant, of the family of Malvaceae.\u00a0 This evidences the fact that agricultural raffia was was not designed specifically for the farm field, and can cause many problems and generate large economic losses.\u00a0 Trellising\u00a0today with agricultural raffia besides requiring much more labor has other serious disadvantages compared to tutoring with plastic mesh netting.\n\n\ninfected culture\nFungi are the major plant pathogens.\n\n\u2022 Mechanical Transmission of Phytopathogens:\nWith HORTOMALLAS the horticulturalists prevents any accident or human mistake at work like pruning and harvesting (both actions require handling a cutting device like pruning scissors) could endanger crops for when a strand of raffia is cut accidentally while providing plant support, it is likely that all plant will fall and break, creating a loss that multiplied by the number of plants and while we have our culture, could add up to many thousands of dollars or euros per year just for creating a trellis system with raffia instead of HORTOMALLAS, the later being a system of nets that even if cut in one strand, will remain upright and provide the needed plant support for the fruits being grown .\n\n\u2022 Trellis netting Improves Ventilation And Exposure To Sunlight\n\n\u2022 Raffia becomes a Pathogen Reservoir as microbes ban take refuge within its crests\n\nfarmer harvesting\nThe cost of labor is reduced with trellis netting.\n\nFinally we could talk about costs of the products themselves (besides the fact that agricultural raffia requires 3 times the amount of labor to be installed than trellis netting) because with raffia it is necessary to change the product every growing cycle,\u00a0 and that much of what we use is unable to reuse as cracks forming folds that is made, allowing bacteria, viruses, fungi and even insects take shelter, there needs to be replaced or making investments in disinfection chemicals besides having a very low resistance to sunlight compared with HORTOMALLAS.\n\n\nInformation hortomallas agricultural raffia\n\nfollow support raffia on facebook<|endoftext|>Health: How to stop your throat from hurting.

A lot of important things people use every day are made from aluminum, and that requires professional aluminium extruders to work with aluminum alloys to make exactly what they have to make.\n\nAluminum coils are one of the most commonly used things that have to do with aluminum. There are a whole bunch of factory and wholesale companies that are aluminum scrap suppliers, and those scraps of aluminum eventually become important things, like pieces in your cell phone and parts of your toaster. Without them, life would be a lot different.\n\nEven aluminum ingot suppliers are important. Aluminum ingot can be transformed into a number of different aluminum products, including aluminum foil. Can you imagine wrapping up food without aluminum foil? It can even be used as an oven tray, as aluminum does not conduct heat so you cannot burn yourself on it.\n\nPeople who have excess aluminum generally send their aluminum to aluminium extruders, and when they do so it can be put to good use.

Then i heard it again but a little louder and closer to me, \u201cexhale\u201d , this happened 3 times total. The third time i heard it , it was directly in my ear so needless to say i jumped outta bed went and got ear plugs from RTS, residental staff , i got back into bed i didnt hear it again being i got ear plugs but i did feel the faintest of what felt like a hand move slowly starting at my legs and stopping at my shoulders touch me. I was under the covers by that point . .I\u2019ll never forget that experience thats for sure\n\nShare Your Comments\n\n\n\n<|endoftext|>Agricultural-Raffia is a thing of the past\n\nDisadvantages Of Trellising With Raffia On CEA (Controlled Environment Agriculture) And Open Field; \u00a1HORTOMALLAS! Always The Best Alternative To The Agricultural Rafia\n\ngrowing tomatoes\nThe trellis supports this network perfectly tomato crop.\n\nWhen growing vegetables it is often necessary to provide a good support system for our plants, whether we are a backyard grower that likes to have fresh food produced at home, or a large farmer with many hectares, our plants need us to provide good support for their fruit loaded branches. HORTOMALLAS\u00a0 is a vegetable support system that replaces the old support with agricultural \u00a0raffia.\u00a0 With horticultural netting even heavy fruits like watermelons and cantaloupes melons are be fully supported by the trellis mesh, which provides great strength and durability.\u00a0 Support netting works well also will all kinds of tomato seeds.\n\n home garden\nThe home grown vegetables are excellent quality.\nRegardless of the extent of a culture of a small garden at home or large areas of crops both need tools to get a good harvest.\n\nRaffia is a synthetic raw material widely used in the textile industry where it is commonly used in the form of thread,\u00a0 obtained by the extrusion of polyolefins; a polymer derived from petroleum, and is used to replace the Jute (scientifically known as Corchorus capsularis) a fibrous plant, of the family of Malvaceae.\u00a0 This evidences the fact that agricultural raffia was was not designed specifically for the farm field, and can cause many problems and generate large economic losses.\u00a0 Trellising\u00a0today with agricultural raffia besides requiring much more labor has other serious disadvantages compared to tutoring with plastic mesh netting.\n\n\ninfected culture\nFungi are the major plant pathogens.\n\n\u2022 Mechanical Transmission of Phytopathogens:\nWith HORTOMALLAS the horticulturalists prevents any accident or human mistake at work like pruning and harvesting (both actions require handling a cutting device like pruning scissors) could endanger crops for when a strand of raffia is cut accidentally while providing plant support, it is likely that all plant will fall and break, creating a loss that multiplied by the number of plants and while we have our culture, could add up to many thousands of dollars or euros per year just for creating a trellis system with raffia instead of HORTOMALLAS, the later being a system of nets that even if cut in one strand, will remain upright and provide the needed plant support for the fruits being grown .\n\n\u2022 Trellis netting Improves Ventilation And Exposure To Sunlight\n\n\u2022 Raffia becomes a Pathogen Reservoir as microbes ban take refuge within its crests\n\nfarmer harvesting\nThe cost of labor is reduced with trellis netting.\n\nFinally we could talk about costs of the products themselves (besides the fact that agricultural raffia requires 3 times the amount of labor to be installed than trellis netting) because with raffia it is necessary to change the product every growing cycle,\u00a0 and that much of what we use is unable to reuse as cracks forming folds that is made, allowing bacteria, viruses, fungi and even insects take shelter, there needs to be replaced or making investments in disinfection chemicals besides having a very low resistance to sunlight compared with HORTOMALLAS.\n\n\nInformation hortomallas agricultural raffia\n\nfollow support raffia on facebook<|endoftext|>About Aluminum Extruders\n\nMetal suppliers\n\nDid you know that a lot of the stuff you see every day is made with aluminum? A lot of important things people use every day are made from aluminum, and that requires professional aluminium extruders to work with aluminum alloys to make exactly what they have to make.\n\nAluminum coils are one of the most commonly used things that have to do with aluminum. There are a whole bunch of factory and wholesale companies that are aluminum scrap suppliers, and those scraps of aluminum eventually become important things, like pieces in your cell phone and parts of your toaster. Without them, life would be a lot different.\n\nEven aluminum ingot suppliers are important. Aluminum ingot can be transformed into a number of different aluminum products, including aluminum foil. Can you imagine wrapping up food without aluminum foil? It can even be used as an oven tray, as aluminum does not conduct heat so you cannot burn yourself on it.\n\nPeople who have excess aluminum generally send their aluminum to aluminium extruders, and when they do so it can be put to good use. A lot of the time excess aluminum is thrown away or wasted, so it is good to see it going to a good use. It is not all the time that precious resources are used for good things and not thrown away, but you can take pride in knowing that not all metal suppliers are the same. Only the good ones transport their aluminum to be used for better things.\n\nLeave a", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 13218, "pt_loc": 224965558, "pt_shuffle_idx": 24815325, "doc_index_f": 38898602, "doc_index_l": 38898604, "offset_f": 60, "offset_l": 311, "pt_injection_pos": 2, "pt_window_offset": 26, "pt_injection_len": 84, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [983, 754, 312]} +{"pt_doc": "Personal Care and Style: How to make cat nail art.

Good! But let me take that back. Being able to play this music with any kind of proficiency is a serious, serious accomplishment, one which ought to make anybody who professes to love (this) music show some serious respect.\n\nThat's not to say that a critic can't or shouldn't be critical of an artists creation. That's part of their job. However, as a professional they should always leave room for the potential audience to discover their own opinion about a piece of music, unless it is so badly executed and below any kind of professional standard that it simply doesn't deserve that. I have not yet listened to \"Bitches\", which I will be sure to do now, but it is unfathomable to me that Nicholas would be capable of anything but a super-high level in whatever he chooses to put out. He's too great of an artist.\n\nAs for the title \"Bitches\". Now, speaking as someone who loves Notorious B.I.G, who loves \"Bitches Brew\", I find that anybody that takes serious offense at a title like that to be in the lineage of Tipper Gore's reaction to rap/hip-hop. I remember in Tupac's movie \"Resurrection\" that he spoke about bringing \"images\" into peoples minds that was as powerful as Vietnam war photographers images that created the opposition to the war. Only this time it was the war on poor people in the ghetto's all over the United States. That resonates with me. Black artists transformation of language through the art form of hip-hop, but dating back to coded language when slavery was still a \"sacred institution\", has been well publicized and has become a world-wide movement just like jazz was in the 20ties and 30ties still resonating to this day. I don't think there's any question that all of that comes from the same source, namely a black source unique to America. So \"Bitches\" as well as \"Nigga\" are words that are used differently inside that community than when spoken by a white person inside THEIR community, and thus the same standard cannot be applied to it. A black person calling another person \"nigga\" doesn't have the same connotation as a white person calling a black person that. \u00a0\n\nThat said, it's a loaded term, and it is true that using it causes controversy. Even inside the black community. Just the other day I was at an eMusic event where parts of Robert Glasper's new album \"Black Radio\", out in 2012, was played for a select group of people. The \"N-word\" was part of the lyrics of one track, and when the audience was given a chance to ask Robert some questions, there was one black man, in his 50ties, who was quite upset the word was even in there. Robert defended it by saying that in the context of the song and the lyric, the word wasn't used but rather \"looked at\" as if under a magnifying glass. I don't think that really satisfied the gentleman though.\n\nBut part of what artist do and SHOULD do is to provoke. Controversy is part of any leap forward, whether it's Darwin or the arts. Witness the reaction of the 1st audience that heard Stravinsky's \"Rite of Spring\". A riot almost broke out. I don't even know how a term like \"Bitches\" can provoke ANYTHING in this day and age, when the age of any kind of innocence is so clearly long gone, and with the abject ugliness that constitutes American politics - especially on the right-wing/Republican side of things. The shit THEY say day in and day out on TV is so profane that a word like \"Bitches\" PALES (pardon the pun) in comparison. Perhaps Nicholas title refers to them, and if it does then it's a mild term and I guess a function of his retiring nature and the fact that \"fascist shitheads\" would have sounded even worse.\n\nOne last thing Mr. Brent Black (hilarious that this is your last name given this debate). How did Miles Davis \"fail\" in making his music in the 80/90ties? You go pick up the Miles Davis DVD from 1985 from Montreal. Miles plays his ASS off with John Scofield, Darryl Jones etc. \"Star People\" is a hidden gem. \"Tutu\" was a seminal album for many of us, and definitely helped pull me into the jazz-sphere back then. And Miles playing is beautiful on it - as always. Perhaps I didn't love Amandla quite as much, it was a little too slick for my taste...and I think for Miles taste too. So he wanted to go raw with Doo-bop, didn't get to finish the album, but was definitely onto a new direction that it would have been great to see him pursue. Look at him playing \"Human Nature\" with his band live in Paris in 1991 (on Youtube), 2 months before he passed away. Here is this wonderful, fantastic icon of this music, a true heavy-weight champion of the world, playing so hauntingly beautiful and people are loving it. Yeah, he's not playing \"Cherokee\" like Clifford Brown at this point, but so what (been there, done that): He's communicating real beauty to real people, and the history of HIS music - black music - is all the way up in there in every note he plays. The critics have never stopped giving Miles Davis shit, even to this day with you only being one example. Us music lovers can't get enough of him.\u00a0\n\nIn the final analysis I do agree with the person that suggests that it's sad that we always have to discuss race. It makes all of us squirm a little, I think (and hope), and I do believe we are all the same. But given the fact that black people have been cheated out of so much in this country, and even inside their own music (Paul Whiteman the \"King of Jazz\", Dave Brubeck and Chet Baker over Bud Powell and Miles Davis etc etc), it's natural that there's weariness in that community and a desire to at least reclaim what they feel is legitimately \"theirs\". I do believe it's futile to try and rename \"jazz\" now, because among most fans it's a term of endearment and doesn't have any negative connotations. It's just the critics and the industry, with it's penchant for segmentation, that makes it that way, using \"jazz\" to sideline their efforts on it's behalf.\u00a0\n\nBut having said that I do miss more attempts - like Nicholas and Robert's - to make jazz music for more people. Back in the 70ties there were all kinds of people that did that with integrity: People like Grover Washington Jr., The Crusaders, Herbie's Headhunters and bands like that. I read an interview with Dizzy Gillespie from 1948 in which he said: \"When jazz loses it's dancebeat, it loses it's audience\". Primarily white critics have snubbed any attempt by jazz musicians to heed that call. Nooo, every jazz musician has a duty to up the ante on Live At The Plugged Knickel and A Love Supreme, or else he/she is a failure and is selling out. That's just ridiculous and by the way - it's not going to happen. I applaud Nicholas and Robert's attempts at bringing their and this music to a wider group of people than just intellectual snob's...another group that may well have been who Nicholas meant when he called his album \"Bitches\".\n\nAll the best,\n\nAnders Chan-Tidemann\n\n\n 1. Very interesting and thoughtful comment from Anders. The only thing I can think of to add to it is to speak, again, to the issue of credibility. So much of jazz criticism is objectionable to me for the same reason much writing on jazz history (especially the early stuff) is, because it's produced by amateurs with no serious musical or scholastic training. Sometimes this plays out as undiscerning fan-boy valorization of lightweight stuff, like Bunk Johnson's seriously sub par late work, or the uncritical acceptance as fact of his self-serving \"historical\" reminiscences. More often it takes the form of negative crititicism lacking in any basis in actual musical-historical analysis, what Brent Black defends as his \"opinion.\" I have no idea what Mr. Black's qualifications as a critic are, but I suspect they include no serious musical training. If they did, why not talk about the music in a substantive way, instead of just dumping an \"opinion' on it.\n\n to me, this is just another level of disrespect for the music. No serious publication would ever hire a classical music critic without formal musical training, but jazz gets lumped in with the \"pop\" stuff, and is too often written about by folks who don't have the knowlege to discuss ANY kind of music in a substantive way, and thus focus on \"opinion\" stuff.\n\n I don't care about anyone's \"opinion,' as I'm perfectly capable of forming my own. Tell me about the music.\n\n 2. Beautiful piece by Anders Chan", "base_doc": " that getting good at this music is requiring almost super-human effort. I am not talking about getting great. Good!

Now, it is true, I have not seen her in five days and -- except I caught the end of Leno. (Laughter.) And the only reason that she, I think, is happy to see me is because she knows that after today, she gets to go tomorrow and get our girls from sleep-away camp, and she has been missing them terribly. So we stand in the way of her getting to her babies. (Laughter.)\n\nAUDIENCE MEMBER: We still love you. (Laughter.)\n\nTHE PRESIDENT: But I have to tell you, when I stand here and listen to her, I am just reminded how lucky I am, because she is a woman of strength and integrity and honor. (Applause.) She keeps me straight every single day. She is the best mom in the world. (Applause.) And she's cute. (Laughter.)\n\nAnd the problem is, sometimes when I listen to her talk I start choking up a little bit, and I forget what I'm going to say. (Laughter.) But I could not be prouder of her. And I say often -- back in 2008, I said, look, I'm not a perfect man; I won't be a perfect President. I do think she is a perfect First Lady. I just want you to know that. (Applause.)\n\nNow, this is our third day in Iowa. (Applause.) And she's right, we have been traveling all across the state. We did stop at the State Fair. We stopped to get something to eat before she showed up, just so there wasn't any issues --\n\n\nTHE PRESIDENT: Smart man. (Laughter.)\n\nWe began the journey in Council Bluffs, and just like four years ago, we've traveled all across this state, west to east, meeting with you and talking about your lives. We've driven through Boone and Des Moines and Oskaloosa and Marshalltown and Waterloo and Cedar Rapids.\n\nWe met farmers who've been badly hurt by drought and who now need us to pass a farm bill. (Applause.) We met folks who've helped Iowa become a leader in wind energy. (Applause.) And now they need us to keep investing in clean, renewable energy. (Applause.) This morning I had breakfast with some of our outstanding veterans who fought under our proud flag. (Applause.) And so now we need to serve them just as well as they've served us, and make sure that they've got new jobs and new opportunities and a roof over their heads when they come home. (Applause.)\n\nAnd every stop, I've got fond memories of the last campaign -- the campaign we had four years ago. Every stop, I've gotten reminders of what makes Iowa so special and how this is where our movement for change happened. (Applause.)\n\nIt was because of you. It was because of your stories and your strength and your spirit that I had the strength and the spirit to go through that campaign. And it's because of you that I've had the strength to do the job over the last three and a half years.\n\nAUDIENCE MEMBER: Thank you! (Applause.)\n\nTHE PRESIDENT: And I've got to tell you, Iowa, we're not done yet. This journey is not done yet. We've got some unfinished business to do. (Applause.) And I've come here to ask you to stand with me, just like you stood with me in 2008, to finish what we started. (Applause.)\n\nBecause less than three months from now, you will face a choice, and that choice could not be bigger. This is a choice not just between two candidates. It's not just between two political parties. More than any election in recent memory, this is a choice about two fundamentally different visions for our country, how we move this country forward. And the direction that you choose when you walk into that voting booth will have an impact not just on your lives, but on the lives of your children and the lives of your grandchildren. It will impact us for decades to come.\n\nWhen we came together in 2008 -- and it wasn't just Democrats, we had independents and some Republicans, too -- it was to restore the basic bargain that built this country, the basic bargain that made us the most prosperous economy in the world. It's a bargain that says if we work hard, we should be rewarded. It's a deal that says if you put in enough effort, you can find a job that pays the bills. You can afford a home that you call your own. You won't go broke when you get sick. You can retire with dignity and respect. (Applause.) And, most of all, it's a bargain that says your kids will get a great education and they'll grow up safe and healthy. And they will have opportunities that you couldn't even dream of; that they will be able to achieve things that you could have only hoped for.\n\nThat's the basic promise of America. That's the American Dream. And we knew that restoring it wouldn't be easy, that it would take more than one year, or one term, or even one President -- because we had just gone through a decade in which the middle class had been taking a lot of hits. (Applause.) Jobs had been getting shipped overseas. Incomes and wages were flat or even going down, while the cost of everything from health care to college were going up. A few folks at the top were doing really well, but the average family was struggling.\n\nAnd this was before we saw the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. And so many more of our friends and neighbors and family members lost their jobs and lost their homes, lost their savings and pushed that American Dream even further out of reach.\n\nSo when I ran for this office four years ago, I told you there were no quick fixes, there were no easy solutions. That's still true today. But what I also told you and what is also still true today is that we have the capacity to meet every challenge. We've got everything we need to meet our challenges. (Applause.) We've still got the best workers in the world. (Applause.) We've still got the best entrepreneurs, and small businessmen and women in the world. (Applause.) We've got the best scientists and researchers in the world. We've got the best farmers in the world. We've got the best colleges and universities in the world. (Applause.)\n\nWe are still a young nation and we've got the greatest diversity of talent and ingenuity -- people want to come here from every corner of the globe. So no matter what the naysayers say, no matter how dark the other side tries to paint things, there is not another country on Earth that wouldn't gladly change places with the United States of America. (Applause.)\n\nBecause people understand that even though we go through some tough times, there is a resilience and grit about this country. And this country is the place where if you're willing to work hard -- no matter what you look like, no matter where you come from, no matter what your last name is -- you can make it. (Applause.)\n\nThat's the idea that we were trying to rebuild in 2008. That's the idea that we continue to pursue in 2012. That is what this campaign is all about. And that is why I'm running for a second term as President of the United States. (Applause.)\n\n\nTHE PRESIDENT: Now, Dubuque, here's the thing -- I told you all the things we've got going for us. We do have one problem -- politics in Washington.\n\n\nTHE PRESIDENT: You've got the other side, which has decided that \"compromise\" is a dirty word, and thinks the only way to move forward is to go backwards to the same top-down economics that got us into this mess in the first place.\n\n\nTHE PRESIDENT: You know, Governor Romney chose his running mate this week -- Congressman Ryan.\n\n\nTHE PRESIDENT: No, no, no, Congressman Ryan -- I know him. He's a good man, beautiful family. He is the ideological leader of the Republicans in Congress. He is a articulate spokesman for Governor Romney's vision. I just happen to fundamentally disagree with his vision. (Applause.) Their vision is wrong for working families and it is wrong for the country.\n\nLook, my opponent and his friends in Congress, they believe that if you just get rid of more regulations on big corporations and big banks, and then you give more tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans, that that will automatically lead to jobs and prosperity for ordinary families. And I'm not exaggerating here, that's their basic economic plan.\n\nThe", "base_doc": " of consumers nationwide as well as here in Iowa -- Tom Miller is here. Give him a big round of applause. (Applause.) Also, your own Mayor -- Mayor Roy Buol is here. Give Roy a big round of applause. (Applause.)\n\nAnd finally, my wife. (Applause.) Now, it is true, I have not seen her in five days and -- except I caught the end of Leno. (Laughter.) And the only reason that she, I think, is happy to see me is because she knows that after today, she gets to go tomorrow and get our girls from sleep-away camp, and she has been missing them terribly. So we stand in the way of her getting to her babies. (Laughter.)\n\nAUDIENCE MEMBER: We still love you. (Laughter.)\n\nTHE PRESIDENT: But I have to tell you, when I stand here and listen to her, I am just reminded how lucky I am, because she is a woman of strength and integrity and honor. (Applause.) She keeps me straight every single day. She is the best mom in the world. (Applause.) And she's cute. (Laughter.)\n\nAnd the problem is, sometimes when I listen to her talk I start choking up a little bit, and I forget what I'm going to say. (Laughter.) But I could not be prouder of her. And I say often -- back in 2008, I said, look, I'm not a perfect man; I won't be a perfect President. I do think she is a perfect First Lady. I just want you to know that. (Applause.)\n\nNow, this is our third day in Iowa. (Applause.) And she's right, we have been traveling all across the state. We did stop at the State Fair. We stopped to get something to eat before she showed up, just so there wasn't any issues --\n\n\nTHE PRESIDENT: Smart man. (Laughter.)\n\nWe began the journey in Council Bluffs, and just like four years ago, we've traveled all across this state, west to east, meeting with you and talking about your lives. We've driven through Boone and Des Moines and Oskaloosa and Marshalltown and Waterloo and Cedar Rapids.\n\nWe met farmers who've been badly hurt by drought and who now need us to pass a farm bill. (Applause.) We met folks who've helped Iowa become a leader in wind energy. (Applause.) And now they need us to keep investing in clean, renewable energy. (Applause.) This morning I had breakfast with some of our outstanding veterans who fought under our proud flag. (Applause.) And so now we need to serve them just as well as they've served us, and make sure that they've got new jobs and new opportunities and a roof over their heads when they come home. (Applause.)\n\nAnd every stop, I've got fond memories of the last campaign -- the campaign we had four years ago. Every stop, I've gotten reminders of what makes Iowa so special and how this is where our movement for change happened. (Applause.)\n\nIt was because of you. It was because of your stories and your strength and your spirit that I had the strength and the spirit to go through that campaign. And it's because of you that I've had the strength to do the job over the last three and a half years.\n\nAUDIENCE MEMBER: Thank you! (Applause.)\n\nTHE PRESIDENT: And I've got to tell you, Iowa, we're not done yet. This journey is not done yet. We've got some unfinished business to do. (Applause.) And I've come here to ask you to stand with me, just like you stood with me in 2008, to finish what we started. (Applause.)\n\nBecause less than three months from now, you will face a choice, and that choice could not be bigger. This is a choice not just between two candidates. It's not just between two political parties. More than any election in recent memory, this is a choice about two fundamentally different visions for our country, how we move this country forward. And the direction that you choose when you walk into that voting booth will have an impact not just on your lives, but on the lives of your children and the lives of your grandchildren. It will impact us for decades to come.\n\nWhen we came together in 2008 -- and it wasn't just Democrats, we had independents and some Republicans, too -- it was to restore the basic bargain that built this country, the basic bargain that made us the most prosperous economy in the world. It's a bargain that says if we work hard, we should be rewarded. It's a deal that says if you put in enough effort, you can find a job that pays the bills. You can afford a home that you call your own. You won't go broke when you get sick. You can retire with dignity and respect. (Applause.) And, most of all, it's a bargain that says your kids will get a great education and they'll grow up safe and healthy. And they will have opportunities that you couldn't even dream of; that they will be able to achieve things that you could have only hoped for.\n\nThat's the basic promise of America. That's the American Dream. And we knew that restoring it wouldn't be easy, that it would take more than one year, or one term, or even one President -- because we had just gone through a decade in which the middle class had been taking a lot of hits. (Applause.) Jobs had been getting shipped overseas. Incomes and wages were flat or even going down, while the cost of everything from health care to college were going up. A few folks at the top were doing really well, but the average family was struggling.\n\nAnd this was before we saw the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. And so many more of our friends and neighbors and family members lost their jobs and lost their homes, lost their savings and pushed that American Dream even further out of reach.\n\nSo when I ran for this office four years ago, I told you there were no quick fixes, there were no easy solutions. That's still true today. But what I also told you and what is also still true today is that we have the capacity to meet every challenge. We've got everything we need to meet our challenges. (Applause.) We've still got the best workers in the world. (Applause.) We've still got the best entrepreneurs, and small businessmen and women in the world. (Applause.) We've got the best scientists and researchers in the world. We've got the best farmers in the world. We've got the best colleges and universities in the world. (Applause.)\n\nWe are still a young nation and we've got the greatest diversity of talent and ingenuity -- people want to come here from every corner of the globe. So no matter what the naysayers say, no matter how dark the other side tries to paint things, there is not another country on Earth that wouldn't gladly change places with the United States of America. (Applause.)\n\nBecause people understand that even though we go through some tough times, there is a resilience and grit about this country. And this country is the place where if you're willing to work hard -- no matter what you look like, no matter where you come from, no matter what your last name is -- you can make it. (Applause.)\n\nThat's the idea that we were trying to rebuild in 2008. That's the idea that we continue to pursue in 2012. That is what this campaign is all about. And that is why I'm running for a second term as President of the United States. (Applause.)\n\n\nTHE PRESIDENT: Now, Dubuque, here's the thing -- I told you all the things we've got going for us. We do have one problem -- politics in Washington.\n\n\nTHE PRESIDENT: You've got the other side, which has decided that \"compromise\" is a dirty word, and thinks the only way to move forward is to go backwards to the same top-down economics that got us into this mess in the first place.\n\n\nTHE PRESIDENT: You know, Governor Romney chose his running mate this week -- Congressman Ryan.\n\n\nTHE PRESIDENT: No, no, no, Congressman Ryan -- I know him.

And I'm not exaggerating here, that's their basic economic plan.\n\nThe centerpiece of Governor Romney's economic plan is a new $5 trillion tax cut -- a lot of it going to the wealthiest Americans.\n\n\nTHE PRESIDENT: Now, keep in mind, $5 trillion is a lot of money, even in Washington. Our entire defense budget is a little over half a trillion dollars a year, so this tax cut would be like giving the equivalent of the entire defense budget in tax cuts -- a lot of it going to very rich people -- every year for 10 years.\n\nNow, these folks say", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 16490, "pt_loc": 103182388, "pt_shuffle_idx": 72470929, "doc_index_f": 113608449, "doc_index_l": 113608449, "offset_f": 2474, "offset_l": 4522, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 110, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": "Personal Care and Style: How to blow dry curly hair with a diffuser.

In both years the total census collected was near 100 florins. In contrast, common services were becoming the Holy See\u2019s principal source of income.

R.K.Rose\n\nThe Great Schism and the Councils Following the death in March 1378 of Gregory XI, who the previous year had returned the papacy to Rome, sixteen cardinals met in conclave. On 8 April they elected Bartolomeo Prignano, archbishop of Bari, as Urban VI, amidst raucous demands from the populace for a Roman pope. Although the regularity of his election might be doubted because of the disturbances, in its aftermath it is clear that the cardinals did in fact recognize and treat Urban as the legitimate pope. Only after four months did thirteen of the electors, weary of their master\u2019s violent outbursts, desert him and declare his election\n\ninvalid. In a second conclave at Fondi, in the kingdom of Naples, they elected the French king\u2019s cousin Robert of Geneva as Clement VII. Unable to dislodge Urban from Rome, Clement quite naturally chose to establish his court at Avignon, where five of Gregory XI\u2019s cardinals had obstinately remained in residence. Allegiance to the rival popes largely reflected the national political alignments of Europe. Charles V of France had from the start encouraged the cardinals in their rebellion and prompted Joanna of Naples to follow his lead. It was natural therefore that England should remain loyal to Urban, while Scotland, 189\n\nFrance\u2019s ally, accepted the French pope. Within France itself, the clergy of Flanders and the English enclaves of Calais and Gascony rejected Clement. The emperor, Charles IV, along with other rulers of central Europe and Scandinavia, recognized Urban VI, but parts of the German kingdom, especially those bordering France, followed the opposite course. Urban engineered the downfall of Joanna of Naples, but his own creature also turned against him. Naples did not become officially Urbanist until 1400, though the Roman pope had until then enjoyed support in the kingdom. Portugal wavered between Rome and Avignon until 1385, when it finally embraced the former. The kings of Castile, Aragon and Navarre deferred their decisions until 1381, 1386 and 1390, respectively, when each in turn recognized Clement. While military action proved to be futile, the delicate question of how to heal the schism was debated in the universities. Jurists and theologians were in universal agreement that a pope could only be deposed for heresy, but neither pontiff was alleged to be a heretic. As early as 1379, Henry of Langenstein and Conrad of Gelnhausen, both of the University of Paris, advocated the calling of a general council, as superior to the pope, to examine the criminal misconduct of Urban VI and the illegal election of Clement VII. But it was generally accepted that only a pope could summon a general council.\n\nThe scandal of the schism deepened when the Roman cardinals elected Boniface IX after Urban\u2019s death in 1389. Despite exhortations from the French crown not to proceed with an election after Clement died in 1394, his cardinals proclaimed Benedict XIII pope. Afterwards, the resignation of both popes, greatly promoted by Parisian scholars Pierre d\u2019Ailly and Jean Gerson, was the most widely favoured means of ending the schism. In 1407 a meeting at Savona was arranged between Benedict and Gregory XII, Roman pontiff since the previous year, but Gregory could not bring himself to make the final leg of the journey. Frustrated by inaction, cardinals from both camps joined together and summoned a general council to meet at Pisa in March 1409. Without universal support and of doubtful legitimacy, it was a sham, and the end result was not one pope but three. It was still generally acknowledged that only a council could solve the problem. The deadlock was broken by the emperor-elect, Sigismund, who summoned the council of Constance, which met between 1414 and 1417. The Pisan pope, John XXIII, and Gregory XII resigned, but Benedict XIII kept up the pretence until his death in 1423. The council was careful not to elect the one, new pope, Martin V, until all \u2018nations\u2019 were represented, in November 1417. R.K.Rose\n\nThe Papal States The papal states were the basis for the papacy\u2019s temporal power. Founded in 754 (when Pepin, king of the Franks, granted Pope Stephen II the exarchate of Ravenna and the Pentapolis) they were directly governed by the pope as secular ruler and acquired political autonomy from neighbouring powers in the thirteenth century. Despite an extensive network of roads, largely based on ancient Roman routes, the diverse terrain of the states presented formidable administrative problems. The key cities of Rome, surrounded by an infertile coastal plain, and\n\nBologna, in the productive region of Romagna, were separated by the Apennine passes and the wealthy march of Ancona, a hilly region of varied economic activity and numerous small signori. The whole area was ruled by papal governors or rectors based in Perugia, Orvieto, the Patrimony of St Peter in Tuscia, Romagna and elsewhere. During the papal absence in Avignon (1309\u201377) de facto authority was usurped by numerous communes and latterly by signorial dynasties such as the Malatesta of Rimini and the Montefeltro of Urbino. The Roman hinterland was likewise 191\n\ndominated by families such as the Orsini, Caetani, Colonna, da Vico and Anguillara, while Rome itself remained faction-ridden despite Cola di Rienzo\u00e2€™s attempt to reorganize city government in 1347. Bologna, meanwhile, had rebelled in 1334. For decades the region was beset by warfare. In 1353\u00e2€“67 Cardinal Egidio (Gil) de Albornoz was charged by Innocent VI to restore papal fortunes. Through military and diplomatic means some recognition of papal authority was achieved and the legitimacy of some signori was recognized by\n\ntheir appointment as papal vicars. After the return of the popes to Rome the papal states shared in the crisis of papal power provoked by the Great Schism and the Conciliar Movement: Ladislao of Naples, for example, seized Rome in 1408 and 1413. Papal authority was precariously reestablished by Eugenius IV (1431\u00e2€“47). Thereafter, income from the papal states did much to bolster financially a now spiritually weakened papacy. F.Andrews\n\nByzantine Cultural and Monastic Centres The loss of Egypt and Syria to the Arabs in the seventh century deprived the Byzantine Empire of many of its major cultural centres. These included Alexandria, along with Athens, the major university, and Beirut, the main centre of legal studies. Constantinople was left with a 192\n\nvirtual monopoly of higher education, scholarship and letters. Even here the university established in 425 disappeared. Education was a matter of private tutors and private schools. State supervision was limited to the provision of funds to selected masters and schools. There was no\n\ninstitution of higher education approaching the model of the western university. Byzantium inherited the Hellenistic educational curriculum with its emphasis on rhetoric. Speculative thought, whether philosophical or theological, remained a private concern. This remained true in the twelfth century when the supervision of education came under the patriarchs of Constantinople. The disintegration of the Byzantine Empire after the Latin conquest of 1204 meant that Constantinople lost its cultural monopoly. Byzantine scholars found refuge at Nicaea and at Trebizond. After the recovery of Constantinople in 1261 the Emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos took steps to revive education and\n\nscholarship, but Constantinople never regained its cultural monopoly, being challenged by Thessalonica in the fourteenth century.

But cheer up! It's a slow-growing cancer and 100 percent curable if detected early.\n\nCervical cancer usually affects women between 30 and 55 years old. The National Cancer Institute said there are over 11,000 cases discovered every year.\n\nWho gets cervical cancer? Naturally, any woman with a cervix is prone to the disease, but there are certain risk factors to consider. Sexual promiscuity is one of them.\n\nWomen who begin having sex before age 18 are more likely to get the disease. The cervix simply can't stand numerous penile thrusts from different men who may carry a variety of infections. These include the papilloma virus (which is responsible for warts), genital herpes, the chlamydia organism, and other cancer-causing agents.\n\nIt you have had many pregnancies which started at a tender age, that puts you at risk for cervical cancer as well. On a positive side, women who use barrier methods of contraception, namely, the cervical cap, diaphragm, or let their partners wear a condom, which in all cases protect the cervix, have a lower cancer rate.\n\nFor some reason, smoking affects the cervix and the nicotine buildup in that organ can trigger the disease. Passive smokers face the same risk. So stop smoking now and avoid those who do. A diet rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C, and folacin is believed to be protective against cervical cancer. So it's probably wise to eat your veggies.\n\nCircumcision was once thought to protect women from cervical cancer but we now know that this is not true. This painful procedure has no medical benefit and should be discouraged except in special cases.\n\nThere are usually no symptoms in the early stage of the disease. Warning signals include bleeding after intercourse, bleeding between periods or after menopause. In some, there is a watery, bloody discharge from the vagina. A dull backache may be felt later.\n\nWith early detection, cervical cancer is highly curable provided it has not spread beyond the uterus. A yearly pelvic exam and a routine Pap test can save you a lot of trouble.\n\nSince the 1940s, the Pap smear has reduced cervical cancer death rates by 70 percent. Today, only about three percent of women die from the disease thanks to this valuable test.\n\n\"A Pap smear is the best screening procedure for cervical cancer. It can detect early lesions as well as pre-malignant lesions of the cervix. Aside from that, a Pap smear can also detect infection,\" according to Dr. Rey de los Reyes, an obstetrician and gynecologist at the United Doctors Medical Center in the Philippines.\n\nThe Pap smear is named after Dr. G.N. Papanicolaou who developed it. In this test, the doctor gathers cell samples from the surface of the cervix by means of scraping it with a wooden spatula, brush, or cotton swab. The cell samples are sent to a laboratory for analysis.\n\n\"A negative result means that your cervix is normal; positive result indicates some abnormal cells. A positive result does not prove that you have cancer or even dysplasia, a precancerous condition, but it usually does mean you should have further evaluation, such as colposcopic examination and biopsy,'' said Dr. David E. Larson, editor-in-chief of the \"Mayo Clinic Family Health Book.\"\n\nA colposcope is an instrument with a magnifying lens which helps the physician examine the cervix. While doing so, he removes a bit of the cervix (biopsy) for analysis.\n\n\"Once you have a suspicious lesion on the cervix that should be biopsied. Since some lesions of the cervix and even an infection can look like cervical cancer, a biopsy can accurately detect the disease,\" De los Reyes said.

Mrs. Carleton suggested that the Ordes dine with her, and afterward take in this function. The hop proper began at nine o'clock; but the floor for an hour before was given over to the children. Mrs. Orde accepted. Promptly at half-past six, then, they all entered the dining room. Bobby, living in the town, had never taken a meal there. He saw a high-ceilinged, large room, filled with small, square and round tables arranged between numerous, slender, white plaster pillars. At the base of each pillar were still smaller serving tables each supporting a metal ice-water pitcher. Two swinging doors at the far end led out. Tall windows looked into the grounds where the children had been in the habit of playing.\n\nPeople were scattered here and there eating. Statuesque ladies dressed in black, with white aprons, stood about or sailed here and there, bearing aloft in marvellous equilibrium great flat trays piled high with steaming white dishes. They swung corners in grand free sweeps, the trays tilted far sideways to balance centrifugal force; they charged the swinging doors at full speed, and when Bobby held his breath in anticipation of the crash, something deft and mysterious happened at the hem of their black skirts and the doors flew open as though commanded by a magic shibboleth. They were tall and short, slender and stout, dark and light, but they had these things in common--they all dressed in black and white, their hair was lofty and of exaggerated waterfall, and their expressions never altered from one of lazy-eyed, lofty, scornful ennui. To Bobby they were easily the leading feature of the meal. After dinner the party sat on the verandah a while, the elders conversing; the children feeling rather dressed up. By and by their other playmates joined them. The lights were lit, and shadows descended with evening coolness. From within came the sound of a violin tuning. Immediately all ran to the dining room. The tables had been moved to one end where they were piled on top of one another; the chairs were arranged in a row along the wall; the floor, newly waxed, shone like glass. A small upright piano manipulated by an elderly female in glasses; a tremendous bass viol in charge of a small man, and a violin played by a large man represented the orchestra. All the children shouted, and began to slide on the slippery floor. Bobby joined this game eagerly, and had great fun. But in a moment the music struck up, the guests of the hotel commenced to drift in and the romping had to cease. Gerald offered his arm to Celia, and they swung away in the hopping waltz of the period. Other children paired off. Bobby was left alone. He did not know what to do, so he sat down in one of the chairs ranged along the wall. After a minute or so Mrs. Carleton and the Ordes came in. Bobby went over to them. \"Don't you dance, Bobby?\" asked Mrs. Carleton kindly. \"No, ma'am,\" replied Bobby in a very small voice. When the music stopped, the children gathered in a group at the lower end of the hall. Bobby joined them; but somehow even then he felt out of it. Celia's cheeks were flushed bright with the exercise and pleasure. Her spirits were high. She laughed and chatted with Gerald vivaciously. Poor Bobby she included in the brightness of her mood, but evidently only because he happened to be in the circle of it. She was sorry he did not dance; but she loved it, and just now she could think of nothing else but the enjoyment of it. Bobby could not understand that there was nothing personal in this. He saw, with a pang, that Gerald danced supremely well; that Morris romped through the steps with a cheerful hearty abandon not without its attraction; that Tad Fuller, who had come in with his mother and his brother, and half a dozen others whom Bobby knew, all made creditable performers; that even Angus, red-faced, awkward, perspiring as he was, could yet command the hand, time and attention of any little girl he might choose to favour. He himself was useless; and therefore ignored.\n\nAt the end of the children's hour he said good night miserably, and trailed along home at his parents' heels. Ordinarily he liked to be out after dark. The stars and the velvet shadows and the magic transformations which the night wrought in the most ordinary and accustomed things attracted him strongly. But now he was too conscious of a smarting spirit. Mr. and Mrs. Orde were talking busily about something. He could not even get a chance to ask a question; and that seemed the last straw. His lips quivered, and he had to remember very hard that he was not a little girl in order to keep back the tears. Finally the talk died. \"Mamma,\" blurted out Bobby. \"Yes?\" \"Can't I learn how to dance?\" The pair wheeled arm in arm and surveyed him. In the starlight his round child face showed white and anxious. \"Why, of course you can, darling,\" replied Mrs. Orde, \"Don't you remember mamma wanted you to go to dancing school last winter, and you wouldn't go?\" \"How soon does dancing school open?\" demanded Bobby. \"I don't know. Not much before Christmas, I suppose.\" Having thus made a definite resolution to remedy matters, Bobby felt better, even though he would have to wait another year. This recovery of spirit was completed the next day. He went with some apprehension to ask Celia to walk again. She had seemed to him so aloof the night before, that he could hardly believe her unchanged. However, she assented to the expedition with alacrity. Hardly had they quitted the hotel grounds when Bobby shot his question at her. \"Celia,\" said he, \"if I learn how to dance this winter will you dance with me when you come back next summer?\" \"Why of course,\" said Celia. \"Will you dance with me a lot?\" \"Yes.\" \"Will you dance with me more than you do with any one else?\" Celia pondered. \"I don't know,\" she said slowly.

Half your skills are determined by your weapon, and often the different skills on the weapon don't even make sense together. It also didn't take long for players to narrow down one or two optimal builds for each class so you really can't even experiment there unless you really like to solo. After the original GW, it's such a regression. And getting rid of a dedicated healing class did them no favors. It devolves the gameplay into little more than DPS races. Everyone has a dodge ability to avoid damage, because they have to, because there's no one to heal them if they get hit. The personal heals only help with the odd splash damage here and there. So it's all just DPS and dodging.

Don't expect to find anything there isn't already a screenshot of somewhere online.\n\n\nThe exploration in GW2 actually really disappointed me, because it's all planned out for you.\n\nAlthough as you point out, it's better than exploration was in WoW if you exclude areas you weren't supposed to be able to get to at all.\n\nOf course, for me that's where the real exploration was in WoW. Old Ironforge, CoT during vanilla, finding an exploit that let us get all the way to the edge of the world, Mount Hyjal during vanilla.. it's been years, and I still distinctly remember doing all those things, how I did them, and who I did them with. Nothing memorable about exploring in GW2 for me.\n\nComment Re: Non-comprehensive list (Score 1) 555\n\nYeah, everyone always wants to argue that this or that game they really like isn't pay to win because pay to win is so bad.\n\nIf you can buy something with real money that gives you an actual competitive advantage that you can't get from normal online play, it's pay2win. Simple as that.\n\nNot all F2P games are pay2win. I don't recall ever seeing any pay2win mechanics in STO, though I could be wrong.

Half your skills are determined by your weapon, and often the different skills on the weapon don't even make sense together. It also didn't take long for players to narrow down one or two optimal builds for each class so you really can't even experiment there unless you really like to solo. After the original GW, it's such a regression. And getting rid of a dedicated healing class did them no favors. It devolves the gameplay into little more than DPS races. Everyone has a dodge ability to avoid damage, because they have to, because there's no one to heal them if they get hit. The personal heals only help with the odd splash damage here and there. So it's all just DPS and dodging. That's what you get when you make a pointed effort at removing the \"trinity\".\n\nComment Re:World of Warcraft (Score 1) 555\n\nOn the whole though, you'll have a hard case to make that TBC or vanilla was any fun though.\n\nVanilla and TBC were both lots of fun.

Hissing and spitting, the cat turned upwards towards the bridge\u2026 looking for the source of its discomfort \u2026 and saw a massive motorcycle coming at fullspeed from the adjoining road about to climb the bridge. The motorcycle almost cleared the sharp corner of the wire meshing surrounding the bridge but at the last instant, slammed into the concrete steel wall of the bridge. The bike exploded immediately; erupting into a golden fireball that illuminated the nightsky for miles around. And the impact flung the body of the rider out of and over the bridge. The cat watched in trepidation as the body rolled head over heels towards its direction, bones cracking with each horrid twist down the hill. Eventually the body rolled to a final stop in a crumpled unnatural heap very close to the serval cat. The cat walked up to the heap and observed it. The rider\u2019s neck had been broken severly and the head almost torn backwards. The chest had caved in and pieces and bits of intestine and innards poked out of the open bowel.

Symptoms include constipation, severe diarrhea, or a combination of both, along with nausea and stomach pain. Despite its impact on the quality of life of millions of people worldwide, IBS remains poorly understood and both difficult and frustrating to treat.\n\nYuri A. Saito Loftus, M.D., a clinical researcher at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, says that one approach is to consider psychological factors in patients with IBS, noting that stress can worsen symptoms and that comorbidities such as anxiety and depression are common.\n\n\"Childhood physical and sexual trauma have both been implicated in adult IBS, but other types of trauma have been less well studied, especially with regard to families,\" she says. \"I'm very interested in genetic and environmental triggers in the development of IBS, and I wanted to look at different forms of trauma in greater detail.\"\n\nTo do so, Dr. Saito Loftus and colleagues re-contacted participants in an earlier large-family, case-controlled study. In all, 4,520 people were sent the Early Trauma Inventory Self Report, which collects information about emotional, sexual and physical abuse as well as general traumatic experiences ranging from parental loss to natural disasters.\n\nOf those contacted, 58 percent agreed to participate \u2014 a total of 430 cases, 447 controls, 827 case-relatives and 921 control-relatives.\n\n\nBased on the survey reports, people with IBS experienced more trauma over a lifetime than controls did. Traumatic events, which were equally common before and after age 18, included natural disasters, serious accidents, divorce, the death of a sibling, exposure to violence, and feeling belittled or misunderstood.\n\nPatients with IBS were not more likely to report experiencing the death of a friend, observing a murder, being burned or having certain sexual encounters.\n\n\"The long and the short of it is that the presence of early-life trauma \u2014 and not necessarily abusive trauma \u2014 is predictive of adult IBS,\" Dr. Saito Loftus says. \"Further, psychological and physical stressors over a lifetime may contribute to the disease.\"\n\nShe says that evidence about family members is less compelling. \"Trauma scores were generally similar between case-relatives and control-relatives; there was a slight trend but not enough to be statistically significant,\" she explains. \"But family members with IBS did have higher trauma scores than those who did not have the condition.\"\n\nOne of the limitations of the study, Dr. Saito Loftus notes, is that researchers were unable to learn the full measure of how people with IBS are affected by trauma. For instance, the impact of a distressing event is likely influenced by a person's age at the time, how other people cope and", "base_doc": "\u201cI\u2019d fight it like you did. Thanks young man.\u201d With that he moved.\nCharlie shrugged and looked away\nDavid stopped.\n\u201cOne more question.\u201d\nCharlie reluctantly tore his gaze from his ogling and looked at him in impatience.\n\u201cYour bike. How did you remain with it?\u201d\nAgain, the shrug\n\u201cDunno man. Loved the bike like it was part of my body. Died on it.

Love you Twinnie! Mwah!\nOk! Back to the story\u2026.\n\n\nTears filled Charlie\u2019s eyes as the wind whipped his hair straight up and backwards. A part of his mind knew the power bike was going too fast but Fuck it! He revved the engine and the speedometer needle jumped clockwise. He and his Lverda Ferrari F1 bike blurred and merged with the night itself, a booming sensation of violence and speed on the empty highway. The Numbness grew from Charlie\u2019s chest upwards to his neck.\nTo his face.\nHe responded to this by shifting backwards in his seat while releasing the clutch with the tip of his left boot. The Power bike roared as the transmission re-ignited and leapt off the ground. In that split second, Charlie looked back and confirmed his fear. The road behind him was being erased by a massive orb of darkness speeding towards him almost as fast as he was moving. He had to go faster.\nFaster. Faster.\nThe Numbness.\nEverywhere now.\nHis eyes.\nHis mind.\nThe bike touched the earth back with a resounding \u2018Whomp!\u2019 and blazed forward. Charlie gritted his teeth and leaned forward. As long as the road kept coming.\nTonight, Charlie fully intended on outrunning the unexplainable. He zoomed off down the empty highway.\n\n2 hours Earlier\u2026\n\nThe small serval wild cat sniffed the wind, hoping upon hope that it could catch the smell of some helpless prey just beneath the bridge connecting the hilly crevice and the highway. Smelling nothing, it sauntered away, preparing to sleep hungry. All of a sudden all the hair on its furry body sprang upwards in alarm! Hissing and spitting, the cat turned upwards towards the bridge\u2026 looking for the source of its discomfort \u2026 and saw a massive motorcycle coming at fullspeed from the adjoining road about to climb the bridge. The motorcycle almost cleared the sharp corner of the wire meshing surrounding the bridge but at the last instant, slammed into the concrete steel wall of the bridge. The bike exploded immediately; erupting into a golden fireball that illuminated the nightsky for miles around. And the impact flung the body of the rider out of and over the bridge. The cat watched in trepidation as the body rolled head over heels towards its direction, bones cracking with each horrid twist down the hill. Eventually the body rolled to a final stop in a crumpled unnatural heap very close to the serval cat. The cat walked up to the heap and observed it. The rider\u2019s neck had been broken severly and the head almost torn backwards. The chest had caved in and pieces and bits of intestine and innards poked out of the open bowel. The cat looked into the open eyes of the dead rider.\nPurring demurely, the cat dug its fangs into the rider\u2019s left eyeball and chewed contentedly.\nDinner came late. But it came afterall.\n\n1 hour Earlier\n\nCharlie picked himself up from the ground where he had fallen. He shook himself free of the dust and checked for broken bones or injuries. Strangely, he felt nothing. Just a numb feeling rising from his toes and circling his bowels. Apparently he had misjudged the curve on the highway bridge and ploughed through the bridge\u2019s wire meshing with his power bike. The force of the impact had hurled him over the bridge while holding the bike captive, throwing him head over heels down the hilly sides of the crevice bordering the highway and the bridge.

Some of the earliest known paintings can be found at the Chauvet Cave in France, and are estimated to be about 32,000 years old. Prior to 1500, tempera paint was the preferred medium of choice in Europe (particularly Italy), with many tempera paintings from the first century AD still in existence today.\u00a0During the late Renaissance, however, oil painting techniques were developed in the Netherlands and they\u00a0quickly spread across Europe. Oil paint is a more flexible medium, and allows for a greater range of optical effects; this in turn led to new expressive techniques for artists. During the Era of Enlightenment, five genres of paintings were recognized by art academies, including the French Academy and the Royal Academy in London. The genres were organized into a hierarchy, and include history painting, portraits, landscapes, still lifes, and genre painting (scenes from everyday life). The invention of photography in the 19th century greatly affected the course of painting. As photographic processes advanced, it took away from painting its historic purpose of recording the world. The art movements of the late 19th century and early 20th century, including Impressionism, Fauvism, Expressionism, and Cubism, were steps away from previous art movements that were rooted in realism and capturing the surrounding world with paint. Modern art movements, such as Abstract Expressionism, Surrealism and Pop Art, are far more concerned with art concepts and technique, than in a need to accurately record one\u2019s surrounding world.\u00a0\n\nPaintings Techniques\n\nPaint is a liquid mixture of pigment and a binding agent such as oil or water. A painting is created on a two-dimensional surface (ground); a wall painting or fresco is also considered to be a painting. Oil, acrylic, and watercolor are some of the most common types of paint today. Oil paint dries very slowly, so artists are easily able to blend colors together. The oil is derived from linseed, walnut and poppy. Tempera paint is created by mixing egg yolk with pigment. It dries much more slowly than even oil paint, and allows for the artist to easily blend colors. Watercolor can be created by mixing pigment with water, and is usually applied to paper. Before the 19th century, watercolor was used primarily for sketches, but with artists such as J.M.W. Turner, it slowly grew to be respected as a medium. Acrylic paint, which was invented in the 20th century, is synthetic and water-soluble, and when it dries looks very similar to oil paint. Acrylic paint is perhaps the most popular type of paint with modern and contemporary artists. In order to create a painting, an artist will apply paint with a brush, or other tool such as a palette knife, to a surface such as a canvas, wood panel, paper, wall, glass, copper, or concrete.\u00a0\n\nArtists Known For Paintings\n\nThe Renaissance saw the rise of master\u00a0artists who created a great number of the world's most\u00a0famous paintings\u00a0including \u201cThe Last Supper\u201d and \"Mona Lisa\" by Leonardo da Vinci, and\u00a0\u201cPrimavera\u201d by Sandro Botticelli. Other famous artists of the Renaissance include Raphael, Michelangelo, Van Eyck, and Titian. The Baroque movement of the 17th century included Rembrandt, Caravaggio, and Rubens, which was followed by the Rococo movement (Boucher and Fragonard), and the French neo-classical movement (David and Ingres). Romanticism, which is encapsulated by the works of Goya, Delacroix, Turner, and Constable, was followed by Realism, of which the French artists Courbet and Manet are most recalled today. Perhaps the best known of the Impressionist artists is Claude Monet, whose \"Water Lilies\" (Nympheas) is a series of approximately 250 art paintings that depict Monet\u2019s flower garden in Giverny. Other famous Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists include Degas, Cassatt, Morisot, Van Gogh, Cezanne, and Seurat. Notable 20th century painters include Pollock and Rothko of the Abstract Expressionist movement, as well as by Kahlo, Dali, Warhol, Lichtenstein, Richter, and Doig. Pablo Picasso is perhaps the most noted artist of the 20th century. One of the most famous Picasso paintings,\u00a0\u201cGuernica,\u201d is a powerful\u00a0anti-war piece which depicts\u00a0the bombing of innocent\u00a0civilians during the Spanish Civil War.<|endoftext|>\u2022 YouTube\n \u2022 Instagram - Black Circle\n \u2022 Facebook - Black Circle\n\nChapter 1\n\n\nverse 1: DEATH DEATH...\n\n\nDeath, death and mo death;\n\nGrand Theft Auto\u00a0that automatically makes the news.\n\nHappiness is defused and hidden because she ain't telegenic enough to\n\nmake the scene.\n\nIf you know what I mean then you know what was meant;\n\nwhen the article was sent straight to yo phone.\n\nWhat's been stolen is more than transportation;\n\nit's your relation to love and peace that's deceased...each and every time you look at the screen.\n\n\n\u00a0verse 2:\u00a0FEEL LIKE\n\n\nI feel like an elephant,\u00a0\n\nbehind long bars\u00a0that people peer through for amusement.\n\nI eat peanuts because that\u2019s what they throw me;\n\nbut one day when I\u2019m the main attraction... maybe,\u00a0\n\nI\u2019ll change peoples contempt at the gate;\n\nlet them see how it feels to\u00a0pac\u00a0your\u00a0derm\u00a0as much as humanly possible.\u00a0\n\n\nFor now they only say\u00a0tisk,\u00a0tisk... that my tusks are ivory;\n\nand I\u2019m gray from much misery.\u00a0\n\nThose tusks put me in a position to fight in a circus\u00a0\n\nsafari where I never belonged.\u00a0\n\nWhen the tusks fall they are placed unwillingly in museums\u00a0\u00a0\n\nOr what we call today-jail.\n\nverse 3: BLACK PAINT\n\nI wish\u00a0 I could articulate hate,\u00a0\n\neven say how it really,\u00a0really feels to be black paint trying to dry on_______________\u00a0walls.\u00a0\u00a0\n\nBlack paint trying to dry on _________________ walls that swear to be pure when they come from me!\n\n\nI\u2019m only drying on them,\u00a0because this scene is a script not reality.\u00a0\u00a0\n\nIt is a\u00a0comedy,\u00a0a comedy\u00a0that I am too culturally biased to know is funny.\u00a0\u00a0\n\nBut still I remain of color,\u00a0because\u00a0if drying too fast is a sin then the rest of me is already chipping.\n\nverse 4:\u00a0COMB\n\nI comb with a pen\u00a0because there\u2019s no need\u00a0to cut anything,\u00a0\n\nbut the stringy attitudes lying on the powerful heads of", "base_doc": " or failure of Reaganomics, of scientology, of pull yourself up by your bootstraps, trickle down Wysocki, trickle down.

Sylvester Cartoons Who's Kitten Who? \u2192\n\u2190 Tweety's S.O.S. Tweety Cartoons Gift Wrapped \u2192\n\nTweet Tweet Tweety is a 1951 animated short featuring Sylvester and Tweety.\n\n\nSylvester is in Yosemite National Park and, hearing birds chipping, climbs up the tree to Tweety's nest, despite the ranger's warnings. Unfortunately, he hasn't hatched, so Sylvester must wait him out. Once Tweety does hatch, he decides to poke the cat in the cat's butt, to get him off. Sylvester then gives chase, with Tweety hiding in a hole in the tree; the cat forces him out with an air pump, but Tweety sends up a stick of dynamite instead. The chase then continues to another tree, with Tweety sawing the branch Sylvester is on.\n\nSome time later, Tweety is singing about what Sylvester would want with him, while Sylvester sits below, scarred and bruised at attempting to scale the barb wire. Sylvester hacks the tree down, only to have it fall on himself.\n\nHe then tries to swing and catch Tweety, but is crushed by a log smasher.\n\nLater, people are taking pictures of Tweety, and Sylvester, disguised as a cameraman, eats him, only to spit him out thanks to the park ranger who then bashes him in the head.\n\nThe next attempt involves Tweety hiding in Old Faithful's geyser. He sets the crazy clock and jumps in, while Tweety sets the clock to 12:00, the time it erupts, forcing the cat upward.\n\nTweety then he hops on a big log and starts rowing down a river, with Sylvester close behind in a rowboat. However, there is waterfall ahead; Tweety jumps off, but Sylvester does not, and he desperately tries to row upward once he realizes where he is. Tweety offers assistance by turning on the emergency control; this merely causes Sylvester, not yet in safe waters, to fall down on a water. Tweety then comments that Sylvester is going to hurt himself if he isn't more careful.\n\n\n \u2022 On ABC, the following scenes were cut/edited:\n \u2022 The aftermath of Sylvester getting blown up by the dynamite stick he pumped out of the tree branch.\n \u2022 Sylvester chasing Tweety between tree branches, Tweety sawing off the tree branch Sylvester is standing on, and Tweety saying, \"Aw, the poor puddy tat's parachute didn't open!\"\n \u2022 The part where Sylvester gets caught by a park ranger trying to eat Tweety faded out just as Tweety landed on the ground. The ABC version cut the part where Tweety tells the cop, \"Atta boy, officer! Give him a hit in the head!\"\" followed by an offscreen bop.\n\n\n\nSylvester Cartoons\n1945 Life with FeathersPeck Up Your Troubles\n1946 Kitty Kornered\n1947 Tweetie PieCrowing PainsDoggone CatsCatch as Cats Can\n1949 Mouse MazurkaBad Ol' Putty TatHippety Hopper\n1951 Canned FeudPutty Tat TroubleRoom and BirdTweety's S.O.S.Tweet Tweet Tweety\n1958 A Pizza Tweety PieA Bird in a Bonnet\n1959 Trick or TweetTweet and LovelyThe Cat's PawHere Today, Gone TamaleTweet Dreams\n1962 Fish and SlipsMexican BoardersThe Jet Cage\n1963 Mexican Cat DanceChili WeatherClaws In The Lease\n1964 A Message to GraciasFreudy CatNuts and VoltsHawaiian Aye AyeRoad to Andalay\n1966 A Taste of Catnip\n1995 Carrotblanca\n2011 I Tawt I Taw A Putty Tat\nTweety Cartoons\n1942 A Tale of Two Kitties\n1944 Birdy and the Beast\n1945 A Gruesome Twosome\n1947 Tweetie Pie\n1948 I Taw a Putty Tat\n1949 Bad Ol' Putty Tat\n1950 Home Tweet HomeAll a Bir-r-r-rdCanary Row\n1951 Putty Tat TroubleRoom and BirdTweety's S.O.S.Tweet Tweet Tweety\n1952 Gift WrappedAin't She TweetA Bird in a Guilty Cage\n1953 Snow BusinessFowl WeatherTom Tom TomcatA Street Cat Named SylvesterCatty Cornered\n1954 Dog PoundedMuzzle ToughSatan's Waitin'\n1955 Sandy ClawsTweety's CircusRed Riding HoodwinkedHeir-Conditioned\n1956 Tweet and SourTree Cornered TweetyTugboat Granny\n1957 Tweet ZooTweety and the BeanstalkBirds AnonymousGreedy For Tweety\n1958 A Pizza Tweety PieA Bird in a Bonnet\n1959 Trick or TweetTweet and LovelyTweet Dreams\n1960 Hyde and Go TweetTrip For Tat\n1961 The Rebel Without ClawsThe Last Hungry Cat\n1962 The Jet Cage\n1964 Hawaiian Aye Aye\n2011 I Tawt I Taw A Putty Tat<|endoftext|>(NEWSER\u2013 Hope Juarez's first name is an appropriate one: The 6-week-old is only the second known \"ghost white baby\" born in recent years to actually survive.

I think it is fair to say that most if not all endurance athletes have experienced some degree of cramps at one time or another, and most likely while racing or training on a hot humid day. Even those who live in hot climates need to acclimate somewhat to the hotter conditions of the mid-summer months of June, July and August, especially if you plan to race during that time.\n\n\nJason Betz\n\nOne of the ways your body keeps cool is by circulating blood to the skin. This allows the internal heat building inside to be transferred to the environment. Core temperatures of 104F (40C) have been observed with marathon athletes. So, transferring heat to the outside plays an important role in helping your core keep cool.\n\nOne of the issues with more blood circulating to the skin while exercising, especially when you are not yet acclimated to hotter temperatures, is that you only have a fixed amount of blood to be circulated among the skin, internal organs and the working muscles. This results in less blood volume centrally surrounding the heart. If there is less blood flowing into the heart, there is less blood flowing out of the heart.

Sylvester Cartoons Who's Kitten Who? \u2192\n\u2190 Tweety's S.O.S. Tweety Cartoons Gift Wrapped \u2192\n\nTweet Tweet Tweety is a 1951 animated short featuring Sylvester and Tweety.\n\n\nSylvester is in Yosemite National Park and, hearing birds chipping, climbs up the tree to Tweety's nest, despite the ranger's warnings. Unfortunately, he hasn't hatched, so Sylvester must wait him out. Once Tweety does hatch, he decides to poke the cat in the cat's butt, to get him off. Sylvester then gives chase, with Tweety hiding in a hole in the tree; the cat forces him out with an air pump, but Tweety sends up a stick of dynamite instead. The chase then continues to another tree, with Tweety sawing the branch Sylvester is on.\n\nSome time later, Tweety is singing about what Sylvester would want with him, while Sylvester sits below, scarred and bruised at attempting to scale the barb wire. Sylvester hacks the tree down, only to have it fall on himself.\n\nHe then tries to swing and catch Tweety, but is crushed by a log smasher.\n\nLater, people are taking pictures of Tweety, and Sylvester, disguised as a cameraman, eats him, only to spit him out thanks to the park ranger who then bashes him in the head.\n\nThe next attempt involves Tweety hiding in Old Faithful's geyser. He sets the crazy clock and jumps in, while Tweety sets the clock to 12:00, the time it erupts, forcing the cat upward.\n\nTweety then he hops on a big log and starts rowing down a river, with Sylvester close behind in a rowboat. However, there is waterfall ahead; Tweety jumps off, but Sylvester does not, and he desperately tries to row upward once he realizes where he is. Tweety offers assistance by turning on the emergency control; this merely causes Sylvester, not yet in safe waters, to fall down on a water. Tweety then comments that Sylvester is going to hurt himself if he isn't more careful.\n\n\n \u2022 On ABC, the following scenes were cut/edited:\n \u2022 The aftermath of Sylvester getting blown up by the dynamite stick he pumped out of the tree branch.\n \u2022 Sylvester chasing Tweety between tree branches, Tweety sawing off the tree branch Sylvester is standing on, and Tweety saying, \"Aw, the poor puddy tat's parachute didn't open!\"\n \u2022 The part where Sylvester gets caught by a park ranger trying to eat Tweety faded out just as Tweety landed on the ground. The ABC version cut the part where Tweety tells the cop, \"Atta boy, officer! Give him a hit in the head!\"\" followed by an offscreen bop.\n\n\n\nSylvester Cartoons\n1945 Life with FeathersPeck Up Your Troubles\n1946 Kitty Kornered\n1947 Tweetie PieCrowing PainsDoggone CatsCatch as Cats Can\n1949 Mouse MazurkaBad Ol' Putty TatHippety Hopper\n1951 Canned FeudPutty Tat TroubleRoom and BirdTweety's S.O.S.Tweet Tweet Tweety\n1958 A Pizza Tweety PieA Bird in a Bonnet\n1959 Trick or TweetTweet and LovelyThe Cat's PawHere Today, Gone TamaleTweet Dreams\n1962 Fish and SlipsMexican BoardersThe Jet Cage\n1963 Mexican Cat DanceChili WeatherClaws In The Lease\n1964 A Message to GraciasFreudy CatNuts and VoltsHawaiian Aye AyeRoad to Andalay\n1966 A Taste of Catnip\n1995 Carrotblanca\n2011 I Tawt I Taw A Putty Tat\nTweety Cartoons\n1942 A Tale of Two Kitties\n1944 Birdy and the Beast\n1945 A Gruesome Twosome\n1947 Tweetie Pie\n1948 I Taw a Putty Tat\n1949 Bad Ol' Putty Tat\n1950 Home Tweet HomeAll a Bir-r-r-rdCanary Row\n1951 Putty Tat TroubleRoom and BirdTweety's S.O.S.Tweet Tweet Tweety\n1952 Gift WrappedAin't She TweetA Bird in a Guilty Cage\n1953 Snow BusinessFowl WeatherTom Tom TomcatA Street Cat Named SylvesterCatty Cornered\n1954 Dog PoundedMuzzle ToughSatan's Waitin'\n1955 Sandy ClawsTweety's CircusRed Riding HoodwinkedHeir-Conditioned\n1956 Tweet and SourTree Cornered TweetyTugboat Granny\n1957 Tweet ZooTweety and the BeanstalkBirds AnonymousGreedy For Tweety\n1958 A Pizza Tweety PieA Bird in a Bonnet\n1959 Trick or TweetTweet and LovelyTweet Dreams\n1960 Hyde and Go TweetTrip For Tat\n1961 The Rebel Without ClawsThe Last Hungry Cat\n1962 The Jet Cage\n1964 Hawaiian Aye Aye\n2011 I Tawt I Taw A Putty Tat<|endoftext|>(NEWSER\u2013 Hope Juarez's first name is an appropriate one: The 6-week-old is only the second known \"ghost white baby\" born in recent years to actually survive.

I think it is fair to say that most if not all endurance athletes have experienced some degree of cramps at one time or another, and most likely while racing or training on a hot humid day. Even those who live in hot climates need to acclimate somewhat to the hotter conditions of the mid-summer months of June, July and August, especially if you plan to race during that time.\n\n\nJason Betz\n\nOne of the ways your body keeps cool is by circulating blood to the skin. This allows the internal heat building inside to be transferred to the environment. Core temperatures of 104F (40C) have been observed with marathon athletes. So, transferring heat to the outside plays an important role in helping your core keep cool.\n\nOne of the issues with more blood circulating to the skin while exercising, especially when you are not yet acclimated to hotter temperatures, is that you only have a fixed amount of blood to be circulated among the skin, internal organs and the working muscles. This results in less blood volume centrally surrounding the heart. If there is less blood flowing into the heart, there is less blood flowing out of the heart. So that means the heart needs to pump faster to keep up with the demand to keep cool, operate organs, and keep the muscles working.\n\nLess fluid flowing around internally will cause a drop in blood pressure. The drop in blood pressure leads to constricted blood vessels within the internal organs, which in turn restricts blood from flowing to the skin and muscles, where it is needed for energy and cooling purposes. This results in a faster increase in core temperatures.\n\nWhile sweat rates are usually not affected by all of these adjustments made by the body, the cooling effects of sweat alone are not great enough to keep the core temperatures cool. Also, the rate of sweat evaporation, which creates the cooling effect, is determined by the", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 32850, "pt_loc": 107641612, "pt_shuffle_idx": 10208623, "doc_index_f": 15999404, "doc_index_l": 15999407, "offset_f": 349, "offset_l": 402, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 20, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [271, 1188, 187, 403]} +{"pt_doc": "Clean and jerk: Men are lifting heavy weights over their head several times.

Some take a go at it during the late morning, while others prefer a quickie after lunch. Some swear it is best in the late afternoon. There is really nothing quite as deliciously decadent as a snooze during the day. The problem is that for most, it is not an option during working hours. If you are at work during the day, it might not be possible to catch a nap on regular days, and if you work at night, your daytime sleep is really your night\u2019s sleep.\u00a0 With the new global economy and teams working across time zones, the sleeping hour has turned into an abstract concept. I am a sleepaholic, and like all good -aholics, I have tried to sharpen my understanding of sleep, albeit from a very subjective point of view. So on the occasion of International Women's Day (don't ask me why), here are my sleepy thoughts. I hope to be able to touch on daytime sleep, sleep hygiene and early rising in this post. And if you start feeling sleepy while reading this (an outcome my writing is well known for), you will know what the universe is trying to tell you.\n\nSleep is fascinating. How the most energetic, loud-voiced beings, regardless of age, gender or social standing just have to crumple down and recharge through cycles of REM and non-REM sleep is rather\u00a0 amazing. Just think about it. No matter who you wish to be seen as when awake, when you have to go, you have to go \u2013 without a care for snores, drools, restless legs, sleep-talking, or throwing your arms over whatever or whoever is next to you.\u00a0 The most aggressive or nasty of adults become childlike and angelic when they curl up and enter deep sleep. Like food, love, life, Buddha, and jazz, it is a universal secret code, one that nobody fully comprehends yet everyone is familiar with.\n\nWhat happens during sleep? Science has its complex answers as do the mystic traditions. Myths abound across cultures about the significance of and relation between sleep, dreams, creation, and death.\u00a0 Each individual body and mind (and spirit) needs sleep at different levels at different times of life and under different circumstances. The human body and mind are so amazing that even if this need is not met, it is still able to function at a certain level, drawing on reserves and turning off functions very much like a laptop computer low on power.\u00a0 But deprive it sufficiently and the results are disastrous. In addition to the obvious social abrasion that kicks in, you and I start displaying poor judgement, take wrong decisions, and put the welfare of self and others at risk without realizing it.\n\nStudies show that one 18-hour stretch of sustained wakefulness can lead to a drop in cognitive skills equivalent to that of a person who has had two drinks. This is the equivalent of a long day in the modern business world with overlapping time-zones and projects. Sleep is a need just like food and water. Sadly, we have come to empower the cult of \u201cachievement\u201d to a point where sleeping is viewed as non-productive, where people are encouraged (if not compelled) to work longer hours, and where getting more things done is equated with being a better social being. One of my favorite poems by Blake is his To The Evening Star, which obliquely refers to sleep in an unforgettable way.\n\n\"Thou fair-hair'd angel of the evening,\nNow, whilst the sun rests on the mountains, light\nThy bright torch of love; thy radiant crown\nPut on, and smile upon our evening bed!\nSmile on our loves, and while thou drawest the\nBlue curtains of the sky, scatter thy silver dew\nOn every flower that shuts its sweet eyes\nIn timely sleep. Let thy west wind sleep on\nThe lake; speak silence with thy glimmering eyes,\nAnd wash the dusk with silver.

Ryan informed him that he knew what the guy was doing, \"He is trying to buy as much food as he can with that $5.50 tip he just lifted from that table right there.\" Ryan got up and replaced the money the man had stolen back on the table he had stolen it from and returned to his own table.

He told them to give him about an hour. The girls giggled as Albert went on his way to \"pull it off.\"\n\nAt Pine Valley Hospital's ER, Erica entered just as Laura was telling Bianca that she would not be tested for drugs. Erica overhead Laura's statement. Bianca turned around and asked her mother what she was doing there. Erica explained that she had heard from Shannon and her friends while bumping into them at her house (supposedly returning Bianca and Laura's backpacks) that Laura and Bianca had come to the hospital to have Laura checked out. Erica asked Laura why she would not take a drug test and why she felt she needed to take one at all. Laura lied to Ms. Kane by telling her that she hadn't eaten all day and that her blood sugar was low. She went on to say that the hospital would not examine her unless she took a blood test and that she felt that was discriminatory. Erica looked at Bianca and outright asked her why she wasn't saying anything.\n\nBianca went along with Laura's lie and told Erica that Laura had \"just felt faint.\" Erica offered to drive them home. Laura told Erica that she had her own car. Erica told Laura to drive carefully and left the two of them. Laura then apologized to Bianca for the position she had put her in with her mother and Bianca just said she wanted to leave. After Laura and Bianca left, Erica confronted Joe and asked him who the doctor was that had examined Laura. Joe informed her that he hadn't realized that Laura was there as he had been concentrating mainly on the David Hayward situation. Erica replied with, \"Oh, what situation is that?\" Joe told her that David had had an accident. She asked him if he was all right.\n\nDavid's was transported from his private room back the ER. Vanessa inquired why he had been moved back to the ER, as David needed his privacy. Joe explained that after a very unusual staff meeting that consisted mainly of police officer's, it was decided that David's surgery on his hand would take place not at Pine Valley Hospital, but at Statesville Prison Hospital and that he would be transported there that day. After Joe left the room, David told Vanessa that he was not going to Statesville today, \"There is no way I am leaving Pine Valley today.\"\n\nVanessa asked him how he planned on getting out of his predicament, that he needed an attorney. David told her what he needed was for her to calm down, listen to him, and do what he says. He then asked her to get him some potassium and a clean syringe out of the locked medicine cabinet outside his room. As Vanessa is arguing with David about how she is going to get a key to get into the locked medicine cabinet, a police officer entered the room and announced that he was in charge of watching David while they arranged for transport for him to Statesville. Just then, a nurse entered with Erica barging in at her heels. David asked his mother to cause a distraction. Vanessa immediately got into Erica's face and started rolling obscenities off to her; blaming her for David's troubles. Meanwhile, David was lifting keys out of the nurse's pocket as the nurse stood beside him watching the ruckus that Vanessa was creating with Erica.\n\nAfter David had successfully lifted the keys from the nurse, he summoned his mother to his bedside and passed her the keys without anyone else's knowledge. He then asked her to please give him and Erica a moment alone assuming she would use the keys to get the stuff he had requested before the nurse discovered her keys were missing.\n\nAfter the others left his room, David apologized to Erica for his mother's behavior. David went on to tell Erica that he had so many regrets and that she was right about the things she had said when she had came to his jail cell. As he held her hand, David told Erica that he needed her more now then he had probably ever needed anybody in his life. Erica asked him what he wanted from her and what he was up to. David denied being up to anything but Erica refused to believe him stating that she knew him. Erica assumed that David wanted her to testify at the trial on his behalf. David decided to use that to explain his odd behavior and asked her if she would. Erica asked him if it was so hard for him to just ask her. David responded with \"Only if you turn me down.\" Erica reminded him of what he had done to her; jeopardizing her sobriety and reminded him that her daughter had passed out at the party due to the Libidozone he had put in the punch. David continued to apologize as he put up with Erica's banter. Erica refused to testify on his behalf and told him that she hoped he gets convicted and that he goes to prison. She then left the room.\n\nMeanwhile, Vanessa was outside of David's room and faked a dizzy spell to send a nurse off to get her water so that she can be alone to get the items David requested. Vanessa successfully got the potassium and syringe. After Erica stormed out of David's room Vanessa entered the room and was conferring with David with her body blocking the guard's view of David's IV. As she spoke to David, she injected David's with the potassium while the guard was busy perusing a magazine at his post next to the door. After she injected David with the potassium, she asked David how he was feeling and nervously waited for the drug to take effect. Almost immediately, the doctors began entering the room in a rush. When Dr. Martin entered and inquired what was going on, another doctor informed him that David's monitor had picked up an arrhythmia. Joe desperately tried to stabilize David. The crew showed up to transport David to the prison but Joe sent them away because he was not stable. Vanessa left the room and ran into Roger. Roger told her that he was just with her son (Leo) and his daughter. Roger went on to say he had figured out her son as well as her. When Vanessa asked him what he was talking about, Roger accused her of coming to Pine Valley to score with Palmer Cortlandt and that her son came to Pine Valley to score his daughter. Amidst Vanessa's denials, Roger said he would keep quiet about her scams as long as she cut him in on the profits; when Leo marries Greenlee, he wants half of the money.\n\nBack at the loft, Leo apologized to Greenlee for what he had done to her father. In Leo's defense, she acknowledged that he Dad had come after him first and told Leo that she did not want her father to come around her ever again. Leo promised her that he would do anything necessary to keep her safe. Greenlee asked him if he really meant it and he reiterated that he did. Greenlee then asked Leo to marry him.\n\nBrooke showed up at the hospital and told Erica she had just gotten her message and asked her if Laura was all right. Erica told her that she would have to ask her daughter that...that Laura had said that she was fine. Brooke said she didn't know what was going on...she had got a message from Erica saying her daughter was on her way to the hospital and now Erica is telling her that Laura was fine. Erica told Brooke that Laura had said that she was hypoglycemic. Brooke was shocked, as she knew that Laura wasn't. Brooke asked if a doctor had diagnosed her. Smugly, Erica said that apparently Laura had diagnosed herself and that Laura had told the doctor her symptoms and that the doctors had apparently diagnosed that Laura was a teen with a drug problem and that they had wanted to test her for drugs and that Laura had refused. Brooke excused herself to go find her daughter.\n\nLaura and Bianca went back to Erica's. As soon as Bianca got home she gave Laura her backpack and told her she was tired, she had to study for an exam and she wanted her to leave. Laura begged her to talk to her. Bianca told her that she \"couldn't do this anymore.\" Bianca went on to tell her that she had watched Laura do \"X\", had watched her almost black out, had lied to her mother on her behalf, and that she did not want any part of Laura's drug use. She went on to say that she didn't want to be different, she didn't want to be the school nark, but she also didn't want to be around people using drugs...that it was too scary.

Erica overhead Laura's statement. Bianca turned around and asked her mother what she was doing there. Erica explained that she had heard from Shannon and her friends while bumping into them at her house (supposedly returning Bianca and Laura's backpacks) that Laura and Bianca had come to the hospital to have Laura checked out. Erica asked Laura why she would not take a drug test and why she felt she needed to take one at all. Laura lied to Ms. Kane by telling her that she hadn't eaten all day and that her blood sugar was low. She went on to say that the hospital would not examine her unless she took a blood test and that she felt that was discriminatory. Erica looked at Bianca and outright asked her why she wasn't saying anything.\n\nBianca went along with Laura's lie and told Erica that Laura had \"just felt faint.\" Erica offered to drive them home. Laura told Erica that she had her own car. Erica told Laura to drive carefully and left the two of them. Laura then apologized to Bianca for the position she had put her in with her mother and Bianca just said she wanted to leave. After Laura and Bianca left, Erica confronted Joe and asked him who the doctor was that had examined Laura. Joe informed her that he hadn't realized that Laura was there as he had been concentrating mainly on the David Hayward situation.

So that's where Ben and the Fed stepped in with Quantitative Easement programs to prop up the economy. There are tons of critics (and there should be because that's how democracy works).

Yes, all that bond buying they are doing to stimulate the economy that comes under heavy criticism that the Fed is borrowing from your children's future is wrong. They are INVESTING in your children's future. All of those bonds are increasing in value and paying the government back. In fact, QE may not cost this country a cent if you look at it from a certain point of view. It will make this country money.

Lovecraft short story \"The Call of Cthulhu,\" first published in Weird Tales in 1928. According to Lovecraft's short story, R'lyeh is a sunken city in the Pacific that makes its appearance for one day every thousand years or so.\n\nHere's how Lovecraft describes it:\nThe nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh...was built in measureless eons behind history by the vast, loathsome shapes that seeped down from the stars. There lay great Cthulhu and his hordes, hidden in green slimy vaults.\nNorwegian sailor Gustaf Johansen, the narrator of one of the tales in the short story, describes the accidental discovery of the city as a coastline of mingled mud, ooze, and weedy Cyclopean masonry which can be nothing less than the tangible substance of earth's supreme terror--the nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh... loathsomely redolent of spheres and dimensions apart from ours.\n\nTL;DR: An island rose out of the sea, and I instantly thought of Cthulhu.

If you like to get more into the depth of different options with kill please follow this link. Basically -9 means that the kernel will let go of the process without informing the process itself. This could theoretically result in data loss depended on what the process is doing and is the hardest way of killing. You can always try first \u201ckill -1\u201d (sends a hang-up signal to the process), \u201ckill -2\u201d (comparable to CTRL+C) during an execution.\n\n~ # kill -9 645137\n\nJust be aware that the \u201ckill\u201d command does not ask you for anything and just kills these processes if possible. If you trigger the ps command then if running again you should not get the Process ID back back.\n 1. Use \u201cesxcli vm process\u201d\n\nThe esxcli command is available on ESXi to manage the Hypervisor on the low level infrastructure. Unlike the further down explained vim-cmd command it focuses purely on the underlying infrastructure of ESXi. It looks that it is only one command (esxcli) but it has a broad variety of subcommands using different namespaces.The nice thing and a big advantage to the previous used esxcfg- commands is that they are organized in a tree hierarchy. You can always put a command into the Shell and see all options available. A good combination of commands you find in this VMware KB: 2012964 and how esxcli compares to vim-cmd and PowerCLI. Before you can stop a process you have to know what status is in use. A very good blog article about esxcli you find here written from Steve Jin.\n\n~ # esxcli vm process list | grep -i -A 4 am1ifvh029\n\n\u00a0World ID: 645172\n\u00a0Process ID: 0\n\u00a0VMX Cartel ID: 645137\n\u00a0UUID: 42 21 23 10 79 c5 62 80-9b 06 74 21 81 9a fc 57\n\u00a0Display Name: am1ifvh029\n\u00a0Config File: /vmfs/volumes/55883a14-21a51000-d5e9-001b21857010/am1ifvh029/am1ifvh029.vmx\n\nTo kill the VM you have to use the \u201cWorld ID\u201d. There are different options (--type or -t) how to kill a world:\n\n \u2022 soft\n \u2022 hard\n \u2022 force\n\n~ # esxcli vm process kill -t=soft -w \"645172\"\n\nIn case nothing happens with the default \u201csoft\u201d kill please try \u201chard\u201d or \u201cforce\u201d. As you see in example 1 with the command \u201cps\u201d you will find the primary World ID as well. This is always the ID of vmm0.\n 1. Use \u201cvim-cmd\u201d to kill a VM\n\nAnother tool to get the status and stop the VM is vim-cmd. It is build on top of \u201chostd\u201d and very hostd like to use and basically the API integration for ESXi. You can use vim-cmd for many operational tasks. Another great blog article like the esxcli above one Steve Jin wrote here.\n\nvim-cmd in ESXi is sitting at /bin/vim-cmd but it is actually a symbolic link to hostd itself:\n\n~ # ls -l /bin/vim-cmd\nlrwxrwxrwx \u00a0\u00a0\u00a01 root \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0root \u00a0\u00a0\u00a010 Mar \u00a04 \u00a02016 /bin/vim-cmd -> /bin/hostd\n\nThe vim-cmd has a few sub-commands. To find out what they are just put in the vim-cmd in the shell:\n\n~ # vim-cmd\nCommands available under /:\nhbrsvc/ \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0internalsvc/ \u00a0solo/ \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0vmsvc/\nhostsvc/ \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0proxysvc/ \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0vimsvc/ \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0help\n\nAs you see there 7 sub-commands (plus help). You can imagine what they are for as you know that there are many options and functionality is included in ESXi. If you remove the svc (service) there are basically commands for: hbr, internal, solo, vm, host, proxy, vim and help. Please keep in mind that internalsvc does not really mean that this is an internal API of ESXi.\n\nAs you can imagine we want to do something around VMs so we have to find the correct \u201cvmsvc\u201d command. When you trigger just vim-cmd vmsvc you will get the following:\n\n~ # vim-cmd vmsvc\n\nCommands available under vmsvc/:\nacquiremksticket

If you like to get more into the depth of different options with kill please follow this link. Basically -9 means that the kernel will let go of the process without informing the process itself. This could theoretically result in data loss depended on what the process is doing and is the hardest way of killing. You can always try first \u201ckill -1\u201d (sends a hang-up signal to the process), \u201ckill -2\u201d (comparable to CTRL+C) during an execution.\n\n~ # kill -9 645137\n\nJust be aware that the \u201ckill\u201d command does not ask you for anything and just kills these processes if possible. If you trigger the ps command then if running again you should not get the Process ID back back.\n 1. Use \u201cesxcli vm process\u201d\n\nThe esxcli command is available on ESXi to manage the Hypervisor on the low level infrastructure. Unlike the further down explained vim-cmd command it focuses purely on the underlying infrastructure of ESXi. It looks that it is only one command (esxcli) but it has a broad variety of subcommands using different namespaces.The nice thing and a big advantage to the previous used esxcfg- commands is that they are organized in a tree hierarchy. You can always put a command into the Shell and see all options available. A good combination of commands you find in this VMware KB: 2012964 and how esxcli compares to vim-cmd and PowerCLI. Before you can stop a process you have to know what status is in use. A very good blog article about esxcli you find here written from Steve Jin.\n\n~ # esxcli vm process list | grep -i -A 4 am1ifvh029\n\n\u00a0World ID: 645172\n\u00a0Process ID: 0\n\u00a0VMX Cartel ID: 645137\n\u00a0UUID: 42 21 23 10 79 c5 62 80-9b 06 74 21 81 9a fc 57\n\u00a0Display Name: am1ifvh029\n\u00a0Config File: /vmfs/volumes/55883a14-21a51000-d5e9-001b21857010/am1ifvh029/am1ifvh029.vmx\n\nTo kill the VM you have to use the \u201cWorld ID\u201d. There are different options (--type or -t) how to kill a world:\n\n \u2022 soft\n \u2022 hard\n \u2022 force\n\n~ # esxcli vm process kill -t=soft -w \"645172\"\n\nIn case nothing happens with the default \u201csoft\u201d kill please try \u201chard\u201d or \u201cforce\u201d. As you see in example 1 with the command \u201cps\u201d you will find the primary World ID as well. This is always the ID of vmm0.\n 1. Use \u201cvim-cmd\u201d to kill a VM\n\nAnother tool to get the status and stop the VM is vim-cmd. It is build on top of \u201chostd\u201d and very hostd like to use and basically the API integration for ESXi. You can use vim-cmd for many operational tasks. Another great blog article like the esxcli above one Steve Jin wrote here.\n\nvim-cmd in ESXi is sitting at /bin/vim-cmd but it is actually a symbolic link to hostd itself:\n\n~ # ls -l /bin/vim-cmd\nlrwxrwxrwx \u00a0\u00a0\u00a01 root \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0root \u00a0\u00a0\u00a010 Mar \u00a04 \u00a02016 /bin/vim-cmd -> /bin/hostd\n\nThe vim-cmd has a few sub-commands. To find out what they are just put in the vim-cmd in the shell:\n\n~ # vim-cmd\nCommands available under /:\nhbrsvc/ \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0internalsvc/ \u00a0solo/ \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0vmsvc/\nhostsvc/ \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0proxysvc/ \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0vimsvc/ \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0help\n\nAs you see there 7 sub-commands (plus help). You can imagine what they are for as you know that there are many options and functionality is included in ESXi. If you remove the svc (service) there are basically commands for: hbr, internal, solo, vm, host, proxy, vim and help. Please keep in mind that internalsvc does not really mean that this is an internal API of ESXi.\n\nAs you can imagine we want to do something around VMs so we have to find the correct \u201cvmsvc\u201d command. When you trigger just vim-cmd vmsvc you will get the following:\n\n~ # vim-cmd vmsvc\n\nCommands available under vmsvc/:\nacquiremksticket \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0get.snapshotinfo\nacquireticket \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0get.spaceNeededForConsolidation\nconnect \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0get.summary\nconvert.toTemplate \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0get.tasklist\nconvert.toVm \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0getallvms\ncreatedummyvm \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0gethostconstraints\ndestroy \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0login\ndevice.connection \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0logout\ndevice.connusbdev \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0message\ndevice.ctlradd \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0power.getstate\ndevice.ctlrremove \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0power.hibernate\ndevice.diskadd \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0power.on\ndevice.diskaddexisting \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0power.reboot\ndevice.diskremove \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0power.reset\ndevice.getdevices \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0power.shutdown\ndevice.toolsSyncSet \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0power.suspend\ndevice.vmiadd \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0power.suspendResume\ndevice.vmiremove \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0queryftcompat\ndevices.createnic \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0reload\nget.capability \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0setscreenres\nget.config \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0snapshot.create\nget.config.cpuidmask \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0snapshot.dumpoption\nget.configoption \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0snapshot.get\nget.datastores \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0snapshot.remove\nget.disabledmethods \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0snapshot.removeall\nget.environment \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0snapshot.revert\nget.filelayout \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0snapshot.setoption\nget.filelayoutex \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0tools.cancelinstall\nget.guest \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0tools.install\nget.guestheartbeatStatus \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0tools.upgrade\nget.managedentitystatus \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0unregister\nget.networks \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0upgrade\n\nAs we want to focus how to kill a VM we now need the status of the actual vmid:\n~ # vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms | grep -i 'vmid\\|am1ifvh", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 39394, "pt_loc": 183963960, "pt_shuffle_idx": 198929570, "doc_index_f": 311838329, "doc_index_l": 311838329, "offset_f": 760, "offset_l": 2808, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 122, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": "Running a marathon: Men are running in a field then on a city street.

With such disparate defensive schemes as Larry Coyers', Jim Bates' and Bob Slowik's, you aren't going to have much of a nucleus of players to work with and that was true. The cupboard was bare. That's a huge problem that isn't going to be solved in one offseason. There are going to be gaps in our rebuilding this year and other teams are going to exploit them.\u00a0\n\nWe now have new schemes on offense, defense and special teams. It takes time to learn them, to produce within them and to excel at them. \u00a0The defense already looks better than last year, which is faint praise but true. The offensive scheme is one of the most complex in football and it won't emerge overnight (And yes, it's a lot more than screen passes and dumpoffs). Look at what NE did even with Matt Cassel at the helm.Complex offenses don't evolve overnight, and you can't teach them overnight, either. Different players are going to make mistakes each week as they are mastering the schemes and their responsibilities in them.\n\nPat Bowlen has already mentioned publicly that they've talked about the possibility of a slow start to the season, they recognize what it could mean and they are going to move forward. I suspect that the Broncos fans may go ballistic if it happens. I won't. I know that creating long term change is difficult. It's messy. You're going to be questioned, disliked, hated and reviled, but that if you're the head of a team, you can't listen and you can't let it dictate your decisions. You have to look within yourself and make the decisions, accept that some will be right and some wrong and move forward. If you're a fan, seeing that might make this process a little less painful.\n\nWhen Bill Belichick took over the New England Patriots, he would frequently say, \"We're not assembling talent. We're building a team.\" It's a good point. \u00a0You really are as good as your worst players. Developing that kind of depth requires time. Bill Walsh went 2-14 in his first season with the 49ers, but he won the Super Bowl two years after that. Bill Belichick had a 5-11 record in his first season with the now-perennial playoff contender squad in New England. Personally, I'm looking at a similar season for the Broncos. \u00a0I'd be glad if I'm wrong, but if I'm right, it doesn't dishearten me.\n\nThere's been a saying going around that if we don't at least reach 8-8, there was no reason to make these changes. My own feeling is that if a few calls had been accurate last season, we would have gone 5-11, not 8-8. That kind of production is a very good reason to create wholesale change. It's unreasonable to expect those kinds of gifts to flow from the officiating two season in a row. If we end up 5-11, we'll be maintaining the same level of production for this season. If we do better than that, we're going to be accomplishing two things - stopping the slide we were in, and turning around our momentum. It won't be easy.\u00a0\n\nI'll be looking toward December more than anything. If you can see an improvement in the way we play later in the season, there is a huge change in the wind. Keep in mind our record over the past three Decembers - 1-3 last year, 2-3 in 2007 and 2-3 in 2006. We were a team that started well and failed miserably. We need to grow, develop and improve over the course of the season. It's something we haven't done in a few years. \u00a0\n\nWe might look at something that's been happening in San Diego. They have been starting out poorly, perhaps reading their own press clippings and then settling down, stiffening up as the season goes on. That's one big reason that they've been winning the division. Some Super Bowl winners have started 1-3, 1-4, but they finished strongly. Arizona had a mediocre year in 2008, but they got hot when it counted and went to the SB as a wildcard team. How you play in winter dictates what direction you are moving in as a team. If we play .500 ball in December of this year, we'll have improved on our late season record of each year since 2005. That should give every fan a little pause.\u00a0\n\nThere's nothing tougher than change. It challenges our beliefs, summons our most fearful thoughts and can always - always - go wrong on you. You can't know if you're on the right track in preseason - they don't count those games for a reason. Detroit goes 4-0 in preseason because no one else really cares if they win. You can't know if you're making the right changes in the first quarter or even the first half of your first season. Some of the best teams in history had lousy first seasons under new coaches and they, too, heard the boos, the demands for their heads and the bitter complaints of the fans who knew in their hearts that they could do better than the bum on the sidelines. Josh McDaniels isn't the first and he won't be the last.\n\nWhen Belichick took over in New England, he had a few things going for him. One was that no one expected instant results that would manifest in the wins column. You rarely make wholesale changes in coaching, personnel and scheme and expect a quick improvement i the record - it isn't usually going to happen, and it places an unrealistic burden on the new order. Broncos fans aren't used to losing and they shouldn't be, but this season might be an exception. Will Bowlen fire McDaniels if they have a bad season? I doubt it. Will people scream, yell and curse his name? A lot of them are already doing that now, so there won't be that much of a difference if they do. \u00a0But are those expectations of instant success reasonable? I'd argue that they're not. If the fans don't give the new systems a chance to develop, they'll be working themselves up for nothing. McDaniels is here for 2-3 years at the least.\n\nBy the way, Coach Belichick also had a degree in economics. He understood the 'new order' of the NFL with the salary cap better than nearly any other coach, and it's shown. While some folks have tried to dismiss Brian Xanders as a 'nobody', 'unimportant' and 'a tool', he's an expert on the cap and on contracts. Every team in the modern era has or needs such a person. \u00a0Coaches coach, and general managers handle personnel matters, by which I mean the negotiation of contracts and the management of the cap. \u00a0Xanders is well suited to the job and has been highly regarded in that respect around the league (there's no shortage of articles mentioning this, for those who want to look a little more closely). That's also in the Broncos favor. In an era where one bad contract can hamstring a club for half a decade, contracts are an essential ingredient in brewing a winner. If you look at history, becoming a winning franchise, a perennial playoff contender, is a job that takes at least 2-3 seasons.\u00a0\n\nHow you see this is an individual thing. I wouldn't presume to tell someone else how to see the situation. I'm just telling you how I see it. More often than not, it's been my experience that people show a projection of other things in their personality when they decide how to respond to change, but as fans we have every right to cheer, to boo and to let our feelings be known. But I will say this - try to keep a sense of history. Big changes offer big challenges and huge opportunities. Don't give in to your greatest fears, your inner demons or a rampaging mind-ego. Try to find a sense of comfort. It isn't all bad. I promise you that it could be worse.\n\nWe could be sitting here and debating the oncoming season including Bob Slowik's role in it. We could be running a scheme that isn't a 5-2, 3-4 or even a realistic 4-3. Jeremy Bates could be calling the plays on offense. Nate Webster could be starting at middle linebacker. Think about that. \u00a0Now, realize that it's only a bad dream.\n\nDoesn't that feel better?\n\nOriginally posted at MHR\n\n\n\nDoc's Musings\n\nRecent Game Coverage\n\nAll Game Coverage<|endoftext|>TY - JOUR T1 - Effects of ethanol on voltage-sensitive Na-channels in cultured skeletal muscle: up-regulation as a result of chronic treatment.

But as little kids grow older, many moms express confusion about when to switch to a separate bath routine. And let's face it, one bath at the end of a long day is often better than two, but older kids need their independence (and privacy)! So along with the help of some Circle of Moms members, we've rounded up three important perspectives to help you decide when to transition your kids to solo baths.\n\n1. Follow Your Children's Lead\n\n\nThen, when one of your children eventually wants privacy for bath time, let them have it. \"I think they should stop bathing together when one of them raises concerns about bathing with their sibling,\" Cassie C. explains. \"As long as you are in the room with them while they bathe, and they don't show any issue with bathing together, I don't think there is anything wrong with allowing them to continue bath time together.\"\n\n2. Stop at Particular Milestones\n\nNot all moms feel comfortable with waiting until children ask for privacy, however. Once boy-girl siblings start noticing and asking about the other's body parts, it may be time to end shared baths. As Candace S. relays: \"My children are the same ages, opposite sexes. I plan to separate them when she begins to ask why [her] brother doesn't look like her.\"\n\n\n\n3. Follow Your Gut\n\nThe truth is that there is really no magical right or wrong age for your children to be bathing together; it depends on your own level of comfort and that of your children. To that end, many suggest you follow your own instincts on when to end shared bath time: \"Stop when one of them is uncomfortable or when you get a gut feeling that it shouldn't happen anymore,\" suggests Angie B.\u00a0Nicole K. agrees: \"Go with your own gut.\"\n\n\nSource: Flickr user Gordon\n\nLatest Moms\nBuy Our Editors' July Picks!

This time focussing on Townsville and let me introduce our panel. Business Council of Australia chief executive Jennifer Westacott, Patricia O'Callaghan chief executive of Townsville Enterprise, responsible for looking after all the growth and opportunity there, Marnie Baker MD of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank and chair of the BCA regional development economic working group, and Mark Steinert, managing director and CEO of Stockland. Welcome to you all. Jennifer, perhaps if I can start with you. This is your fourth focus on Townsville. Obviously, it's virtual at the moment but why is Townsville such an important opportunity for Australia?\n\nJennifer Westacott, chief executive Business Council of Australia:\u00a0Well I think Townsville is emblematic of what we see across the country. Obviously at the moment a lot of challenges and a lot of hardship being experienced by people. But conversely huge opportunities and tremendous resilience from the community. And every time I go to Townsville and obviously today when we've been talking to the community; you're just struck by the opportunity. The diversification of the economy, the huge opportunity in mining, the opportunity in agribusiness, the opportunity in defence, the opportunity in skills, the opportunity that comes from having the stadium. And you just constantly think if we could around the country focus on, I don't know, 10 or 15 places that have got tremendous capability, opportunity and prioritise the infrastructure, and give a long term plan. We would unleash a lot of economic growth Ticky. Not just in Townsville but across the country. I think we just have got to do something like that. Particularly now post-COVID.\n\nTicky:\u00a0Yeah, I mean is this bizarrely, we all know how much under the gun the economy is, is this the opportunity to really fast track certain things? Because I think Townsville is what five per cent of the Queensland economy isn't it?\n\nJennifer:\u00a0Absolutely, I don't think there's any alternative but to fast track things. We've got to create a lot of jobs, a lot of jobs in Townsville, a lot of jobs across the country. Townsville is a great place in terms of if we get some serious economic activity it will also be a magnet for people wanting to relocate. We heard today terrific, brand new house prices, less than $400,000 and Mark can talk more about that. That's a great opportunity, fantastic weather, great lifestyle. So this is what we've got to do. We've got to double down on these places across Australia that have got so much potential, invest in them, plan with them and really unleash what's there because it will have a huge spinoff effect as we start to think about a post-COVID recovery, albeit we're stuck with this thing for a long time, and start to think about how do we get what I estimate will be around about two million jobs we've got to create in two years. That's a big task.\n\nTicky:\u00a0Alright, well Trish, that's kind of your job isn't it? Where do you see the key sectors where the jobs will come from? 320 days of sunshine of course up there?\n\nPatricia O'Callaghan, chief executive Townsville Enterprise:\u00a0Absolutely and as we were saying earlier Ticky, we're not unknown to crisis here. It was only last year that this community felt the brunt of those unprecedented floods. Before that it was the mining downturn and we saw with the closure of Queensland nickel 800 jobs disappear overnight. And then in parallel to all of that we've been suffering the severe drought. But putting that aside, the economy of Townsville and north Queensland is exceptionally resilient and that's because no one sector represents more than 20 per cent of our GRP. And right now in Australia we can harness some of these traditional industries to really look at recovering. And when I look at that I look at our mining and resources sector.

This time focussing on Townsville and let me introduce our panel. Business Council of Australia chief executive Jennifer Westacott, Patricia O'Callaghan chief executive of Townsville Enterprise, responsible for looking after all the growth and opportunity there, Marnie Baker MD of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank and chair of the BCA regional development economic working group, and Mark Steinert, managing director and CEO of Stockland. Welcome to you all. Jennifer, perhaps if I can start with you. This is your fourth focus on Townsville. Obviously, it's virtual at the moment but why is Townsville such an important opportunity for Australia?\n\nJennifer Westacott, chief executive Business Council of Australia:\u00a0Well I think Townsville is emblematic of what we see across the country. Obviously at the moment a lot of challenges and a lot of hardship being experienced by people. But conversely huge opportunities and tremendous resilience from the community. And every time I go to Townsville and obviously today when we've been talking to the community; you're just struck by the opportunity. The diversification of the economy, the huge opportunity in mining, the opportunity in agribusiness, the opportunity in defence, the opportunity in skills, the opportunity that comes from having the stadium. And you just constantly think if we could around the country focus on, I don't know, 10 or 15 places that have got tremendous capability, opportunity and prioritise the infrastructure, and give a long term plan. We would unleash a lot of economic growth Ticky. Not just in Townsville but across the country. I think we just have got to do something like that. Particularly now post-COVID.\n\nTicky:\u00a0Yeah, I mean is this bizarrely, we all know how much under the gun the economy is, is this the opportunity to really fast track certain things? Because I think Townsville is what five per cent of the Queensland economy isn't it?\n\nJennifer:\u00a0Absolutely, I don't think there's any alternative but to fast track things. We've got to create a lot of jobs, a lot of jobs in Townsville, a lot of jobs across the country. Townsville is a great place in terms of if we get some serious economic activity it will also be a magnet for people wanting to relocate. We heard today terrific, brand new house prices, less than $400,000 and Mark can talk more about that. That's a great opportunity, fantastic weather, great lifestyle. So this is what we've got to do. We've got to double down on these places across Australia that have got so much potential, invest in them, plan with them and really unleash what's there because it will have a huge spinoff effect as we start to think about a post-COVID recovery, albeit we're stuck with this thing for a long time, and start to think about how do we get what I estimate will be around about two million jobs we've got to create in two years. That's a big task.\n\nTicky:\u00a0Alright, well Trish, that's kind of your job isn't it? Where do you see the key sectors where the jobs will come from? 320 days of sunshine of course up there?\n\nPatricia O'Callaghan, chief executive Townsville Enterprise:\u00a0Absolutely and as we were saying earlier Ticky, we're not unknown to crisis here. It was only last year that this community felt the brunt of those unprecedented floods. Before that it was the mining downturn and we saw with the closure of Queensland nickel 800 jobs disappear overnight. And then in parallel to all of that we've been suffering the severe drought. But putting that aside, the economy of Townsville and north Queensland is exceptionally resilient and that's because no one sector represents more than 20 per cent of our GRP. And right now in Australia we can harness some of these traditional industries to really look at recovering. And when I look at that I look at our mining and resources sector. To the north west you have a sector that's worth six billion dollars to the economy, has been hiring through this process, supports 20,000 jobs but there's $680 billion known in the ground. I look at agriculture and the potential for dams and water here. With Hells Gate we can open up to 50,000 hectares of irrigated ag.

There is a number of software that offers a free and simple version of accounting, which will work for small business accounting. Definitely, you may want to try it out, but is it acceptable? Will any free software work for your small business? By considering what you require from a software package, you can take that decision. If you have a large number of employees and want to work on your own payroll, then you may not be happy with free software. So, ensure that your chosen system will do what need to be done.\n\nVaried software choices\nThere are a few big players in easy accounting software, but the simplest systems are easier and more intricate the requirements, more difficult the software is to use. So, do not purchase more capability than you will require.\n\nLook for support\nDo not overlook either that you may require some help. How much will it charge you for seeking some help? If it is free, then for how much time is it free? Is it just a toll free number or can you get somebody to come and help you? If it is the best software product, you may get help from limited accounting firms, but no help, if it is free software that no one ever known.\n\nSeek information about upgrades\nWhen you choose a simple accounting system, it is an added advantage if the upgrade is easy and fast. That may be the case if you select a top software brand and can select a more prevailing software package within that organizational software. But, if you go for a small known system with no available upgrades, then you need to start from scratch to find out a totally new system.\n\nOverall, easy accounting software is just what you need. If you require a system that will manage every task you need, then find out what you need and purchase just what you need. You should also look for your prospective accounting requirements. So, buy the best system to do the task or it will increase your expenses in the long-run.<|endoftext|>Loading...

With the daily dose of chemicals and environmental toxins humanity is already exposed to, Lana\u2019s Llama clothing helps to minimize the damage by reducing the exposure of toxins originating in your clothing. From the fabric, to the lining, trims, buttons, dyes, thread and clothing labels we do our best to create the least chemically tainted garment possible.\u00a0\n\nWe strictly adhere to fabrics made of 100% natural fibers, which means no synthetic fabrics such as polyester, nylon, spandex, acrylic, rayon, acetate, viscose or any other petrochemically based fiber. We never use chemicals to make clothing softer, stain resistant, odor resistant, fireproof, moth proof, water repellent, anti-bacterial, anti shrink or to reduce static and wrinkles.\n\nLana\u2019s Llama does not use semi-synthetic fabrics made of regenerated fibers from cellulose such as modal, bamboo, rayon or tencel as the process of transforming cellulose into fabric requires the use of hazardous chemicals.\n\nWhile others claim to be \u201ceco-friendly,\u201d selling clothing made of recycled polyester (made from toxic plastic bottles), we choose to not use it at all! Buzzwords such as eco friendly, fair trade and green are used deceptively by numerous companies, but none of these words address the harmful effects of toxins on the human body.\n\nResearch has proven that the vast majority of chemicals used to create synthetic clothing create problems such as infertility, hormone disruption, respiratory diseases, contact dermatitis, immune dysfunction, suppression of the lymphatic system and cancer to name a few. There are thousands of cases of people who report allergic reactions when they wear synthetic fabrics, not to mention medical journals outlining the toxicity of synthetic fibers.

(Thanks, K.A.)\n\nThese 'Guru's of Grocery Delivery'\n\nwere certainly not a fancy lot. Or a man to be celebrated. I refer to the rural peddler and his rolling store that kept on a tight schedule on a weekday or monthly time to keep his customers from facing starvation. This was a time in the early south when America's economy was not friendly. Jobs were tagged as scarce. Check with us tomorrow. Don't call us, we'll call you. I can just hear the power brokers grinding their molars together.\n\nWould I be safe in saying that times were being built on greed. Sad, stomach-turning, but very true. By way of explasation, in the early 1800's, when the early south was being settled and farming fanilies began to take root, these families with good hearts soon learned that life in this area of the nation was tough. Very tough. But nevertheless, they were tough enough to endure.\n\nI confess right-up. My headline at the top doesn't say, 'Southern Rolling Stones,' but Southern Rolling Stores,' and I have to know that I have a small amount of the time that I spent with this rural peddler. I was seven. We were having a terribly-hot summer. I had to stay with my \"Gramps\" James Avery and Ida Belle Avery, dad's parents. Fact: grandma liked me in a moderate way, but \"Gramps\" could not stand me. To be honest with you. I had no choice but to stay with them duirng our school's summer vacation and both my parents working, so I was stuck.\n\nThis peddling man was so patient in helping his clients who many were elderly.\n\n\nHis Name Was Oaklin\n\npronounced \"Oakling,\" but people just called him the Oaklin moniker. A little bit about Oaklin. I know. You have already caught a glaring typo by not listing his last name. There is a reason. I am afraid that although he is deceased. a few of his friends just might see (this) hub and there I'd be. Hung on a tall tree limb by my thumbs. Actually. I do not think that he had any friends to speak of. Not that he was a bad man, no. He had a soft heart and a mathematical whiz. I witnessed his selling first-hand when he would stop at my grandparents' home every Tuesday morning to see if the items that he peddled would interest t\n\nMind you, my grandparents were cheap. Seen from the eyes of a seven-year-old kid, the word, cheap, fits. And if I were to use the word, thrifty, that would be an insult. My grandparents both lived on a fixed-income, so their household incomes were nothing to write home about.\n\nBesides being a rural peddler, Oaklin would", "base_doc": " down so I can use both hands to untangle knots. And of course Spike had to be right in the middle of the action. He kept walking back and forth over my lap - and on/in/through my loose hank of yarn - and butting his head against my hands trying to get me to pet him. Knitting this is going to be an adventure for me. and for Spike because I am rarely able to do anything without him (literally) sticking his nose in.\n\nMaybe I can have the stole done before next summer so I can use it to keep warm while I sit here at work.\n\nNo comments:<|endoftext|>Situated in the heart of the City of Aberdeen and less than a five minute's walk to the Bon Accord Shopping Centre, the Credo is a purpose built venue, providing modern comfort within the walls of a redeveloped 19th Century granite church building.

(Thanks, K.A.)\n\nThese 'Guru's of Grocery Delivery'\n\nwere certainly not a fancy lot. Or a man to be celebrated. I refer to the rural peddler and his rolling store that kept on a tight schedule on a weekday or monthly time to keep his customers from facing starvation. This was a time in the early south when America's economy was not friendly. Jobs were tagged as scarce. Check with us tomorrow. Don't call us, we'll call you. I can just hear the power brokers grinding their molars together.\n\nWould I be safe in saying that times were being built on greed. Sad, stomach-turning, but very true. By way of explasation, in the early 1800's, when the early south was being settled and farming fanilies began to take root, these families with good hearts soon learned that life in this area of the nation was tough. Very tough. But nevertheless, they were tough enough to endure.\n\nI confess right-up. My headline at the top doesn't say, 'Southern Rolling Stones,' but Southern Rolling Stores,' and I have to know that I have a small amount of the time that I spent with this rural peddler. I was seven. We were having a terribly-hot summer. I had to stay with my \"Gramps\" James Avery and Ida Belle Avery, dad's parents. Fact: grandma liked me in a moderate way, but \"Gramps\" could not stand me. To be honest with you. I had no choice but to stay with them duirng our school's summer vacation and both my parents working, so I was stuck.\n\nThis peddling man was so patient in helping his clients who many were elderly.\n\n\nHis Name Was Oaklin\n\npronounced \"Oakling,\" but people just called him the Oaklin moniker. A little bit about Oaklin. I know. You have already caught a glaring typo by not listing his last name. There is a reason. I am afraid that although he is deceased. a few of his friends just might see (this) hub and there I'd be. Hung on a tall tree limb by my thumbs. Actually. I do not think that he had any friends to speak of. Not that he was a bad man, no. He had a soft heart and a mathematical whiz. I witnessed his selling first-hand when he would stop at my grandparents' home every Tuesday morning to see if the items that he peddled would interest t\n\nMind you, my grandparents were cheap. Seen from the eyes of a seven-year-old kid, the word, cheap, fits. And if I were to use the word, thrifty, that would be an insult. My grandparents both lived on a fixed-income, so their household incomes were nothing to write home about.\n\nBesides being a rural peddler, Oaklin would buy available scrap iron from around", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 47574, "pt_loc": 121170654, "pt_shuffle_idx": 215010815, "doc_index_f": 337040217, "doc_index_l": 337040221, "offset_f": 703, "offset_l": 713, "pt_injection_pos": 3, "pt_window_offset": 123, "pt_injection_len": 129, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [135, 171, 746, 283, 714]} +{"pt_doc": "Family Life: How to tell a child about an absent parent.

Here is my best effort to bring it into the light based on my understanding thus far.\n\nIt's important that you understand that this \"effort\" or contribution is based only on \"my\" perception of reality. I don't ask that you believe it. In fact I ask that you NOT believe it unless it stirs something deep within you. \"True\" wisdom and knowledge comes from within and reveals itself as a \"deep inner knowing\" which in my opinion is also a part of the \"Perfectly Constructed\" plan.\n\nMy perception is only my best effort to contribute in the best way I know how at this point in my process.

Nontheless, regardless of my intent or willingness to give, it is still only \"My\" perception.\n\nWith that understood let's continue....\n\nThere exists a First Cause which cannot be tampered with or manipulated. This First Cause is Omniscient, Ever Present, The Alpha, The Omega, The Beginning, The End. This Cause encompasses ALL things which are happening, ever have happened or ever will happen. He/She/It is the Master, Creator, The 1st Seed from which EVERYTHING that exists, has existed or ever will exist in the entire cosmos is made possible and grows from.\n\nThis First Cause is known by many names in the world. Some refer to this Cause as God, others Universal Intelligence, Higher Consciousness, Higher Power, Supreme Energy etc. etc.\n\nEverything that happens as a result of this First Cause are merely effects which are perceived as causes by those who don't yet understand the essence of the TRUE Cause and as a result continually attempt unsuccessfully to manipulate effects with still other effects.\n\nAs an example\u2026..\n\nMost believe and would have \"you\" believe that some physical action which is taken is the cause for the outcome that is experienced. Although in a \"physical\" sense from a physical perspective this may be true, (that the physical action is at some level the cause for their outcomes) it is not THE Cause. In fact physical actions such as hard work are what I'll call a fifth level of cause.\n\nHow so?\n\n1st Cause - First Cause is THE Source of ALL other \"perceived\" causes. This first cause is The Master Seed. This first Cause is so \"Profound\", so \"Immense\" so \"Perfect\" that is impossible for many to \"fully\" comprehend or describe with the limitations of ANY human language. Although many attempt to put labels on \"First Cause\" it falls FAR short of describing the immensity of He/She/It's presence. This \"First Cause\" is the ALL in ALL, the Creator of the created, The Alpha, The Omega, The Beginning, The End, The Omniscient, The Omnipresent.\n\n2nd Cause Second cause was created in such a way that is immutable, unwavering, impartial, non-judgmental, unbiased, non prejudiced, omniscient, omnipresent and is everywhere in everything. This second cause was created in such a way that cannot be changed or manipulated. It is The Master Seed from where all other effects which follow come. This Master Seed is based on \"Unconditional Love.\" This Master Seed operates in a precise, perfect, predictable and unwavering manner. This second cause operates within very specifically and perfectly designed guidelines known as Universal Laws, Laws of Nature or whatever you may choose to call them. An example of these laws are the Law of Gravity, the Law of Cause and Effect, The Law of Vibration, the Law of Attraction, The Law Of Abundance, The Law Of Polarity, The Law of Resonance, etc.\n\nAs a result of this First Cause, and 2nd cause, or the Laws that were put into place to govern all future effects, is what determines how all future effects will be brought into the physical realm and experienced in your life. Although many may perceive and refer to these effects as causes, you'll soon understand that in reality they are merely effects, all of which were created and made possible by the First Cause.\n\nWith me so far? Let's move on to the proceeding causes\u2026..\n\n3rd Cause - Is thought or consciousness. Your thought as well as the collective thought of every other being with the ability to think makes up what we'll call 3rd cause. At the level of third cause is where free will has been provided to ALL \"unconditionally.\" You have been provided the free will to think what you choose to think. This thought, this thinking, this consciousness was designed in a way that is third cause and, based on what you choose to do with it as a result of your free will, determines the result or effect of the next level of cause. This is not speculation or theory. It has been proven by Nobel Prize Laureates in the scientific community as well as has been taught in EVERY major religion of the world and spoken of and taught by the most enlightened spiritual teachers since the beginning of time. \"As a man thinketh, so is he... As you believe so shall you receive.... As you sow, so shall you reap. Your thoughts which act as the creative seeds based on those beliefs are what shape your world in the physical realm.\n\n4th Cause - Emotions - The fourth level of cause is emotion. Your free will to think whatever way you choose determines what emotions you will experience based on that free will. It is these experienced emotions which create specific vibrational patterns depending on the emotion experienced. It is these vibrational patterns which match up with energies of a harmonious vibratory pattern or frequency in the unseen or spiritual realm and join together to begin the inevitable process of attraction which results in the unseen taking shape and forming into physical matter. It is this matter, the effect of your thoughts and emotions, which you eventually come to see and experience in the physical world. It is due to a combination of these thoughts (third cause) combined with emotions (4th cause) which lead you to the fifth cause.\n\n5th Cause - Physical Actions - The fifth cause is the actions which you take based on the thoughts and emotions that you choose to experience. These actions are the first physical signs of manifestation which can be observed with the five physical human senses and which happen as a result of cause #3 and #4.\n\n6th Cause Outcomes or Physical Effects - 6th cause are the outcomes or effects which are experienced based on the first 5 causes, the result of which are created and perceived based on individual perception starting the entire creative process all over again into infinity.\n\nWhenever causes 2 through 6 don't appear to be delivering in the way of the effects that you consciously desire to experience, I can say with 100% certainty that it is due to not being in harmony or alignment with the the desires that you choose to experience. There is NEVER disharmony or discord, but only your perception of disharmony or discord which is created by your beingness, which is determined by your thoughts, emotions, and actions and the immutable and unwavering laws put into place by The First Cause are ALWAYS operating in perfect harmony always providing \"Whatsoever ye desire\" based on your free will to exercise causes 3 through 6. Cause number two is merely an effect of the TRUE Cause. Cause number 3 is merely an effect of cause number 2 which is derived as a result of the TRUE Cause. Cause number 4 merely an effect of cause #3 which is\u2026\u2026\n\nYou get the idea.\n\nSo the answer is that the gift of free will is NOT unconditional until 3rd cause. It was designed in this way due to Unconditional Love. Thank the \"True Source\" the \"First Cause\" for that, whatever you may choose to refer to \"First Cause\" as. Man has utilized his inalienable right of free will in such a way that has turned the originally intended Oneness of everything in our world into a perceived separateness due to man's free will, or his/her choices. The \"Perfect Plan\" which has enabled the world to exist for as long as it has is only due to a \"Plan\" that enables and allows \"free will\" to take hold only at a specific level.

It is focussed on whitening teeth. Most importantly for me, it is mojito mint flavored. I never thought I would see a toothpaste with this flavor. I would actually get this just because of the mojito flavor regardless of whether or not I needed the whitening effects. If you don't like fluoride or if you don't need whitening, this is the tube with this flavor. It would be nice if they could produce more different varieties that are also mojito flavored.\n\nhello toothpaste mojito whitening\n\nThis has to be the most interesting product they have available next to the charcoal toothpaste. It has all of the other features that you've come to expect from Hello. It does the standard stuff like preventing cavities, freshening breath, and strengthening enamel. It whitens teeth very well since that is what this product specializes in. It doesn't include many harmful and harsh chemicals. The normal things are left out like SLS and Triclosan. It also excludes a bunch of other harmful stuff. This one specifically states that it doesn't have preservatives. It doesn't include harsh brighteners either.\n\nPersonally, I like the idea of having a mojito every time I brush my teeth. It is like having a party in your mouth. I love mojitos and I love having fresh clean teeth. A mojito is probably one of the freshest tasting drinks I can think of so it totally makes sense to have a toothpaste that takes on that flavor. This one is a shining gem among dental products. Do check it out. It is probably one of the coolest things I've done in my bathroom recently.\n\nToothpaste Ingredients:\nactive: sodium fluoride 0.24%\n\ninactive: sorbitol, hydrated silica, glycerin, purified water, xylitol, flavor, xanthan gum, cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium cocyl glutamate titanium dioxide and stevia rebaudiana leaf extract.\n\nSensitivity Relief\n\nIf you have sensitive teeth, this is the Hello Toothpaste product for you. It does contain fluoride so if you don't want that then you will want to pick something else. It contains both aloe vera and coconut oil. This is a good sign since it is meant to be soothing and healing while still being natural and friendly.\n\nhello toothpaste sensitivity relief\n\nSurprisingly, this toothpaste also helps to whiten your teeth while still being focused on relieving sensitivity. You might think that those two things are mutually exclusive but the people over at Hello designed a product that solves both of those problems. It also does all the normal stuff you would expect like protecting enamel and preventing cavities. It tastes awesome too.\n\nYou won't have to worry so much about pain if your teeth are sensitive. The whitening action is also specifically designed to be \"gentle\" so you don't have to worry. As always, they avoid the harsh stuff like sls, triclosan, and all of the other bad things we've already covered with every other tube of toothpaste that they produce. No surprises here just happy, healthy teeth.\n\nThe key ingredient for treating sensitive teeth is potassium nitrate. They include the highest level of this magical ingredient that is allowed by the FDA. If it weren't regulated, they probably would have gone higher. Pain relief isn't treated by some natural substance extracted from plants. At first glance, you might think that aloe or coconut oil is what was used to achieve this but that isn't the case. The real active ingredient is potassium nitrate. This wonderful chemical calms the nerves around the teeth which is exactly what you need if you have sensitive teeth.\n\nNote - This is not for kids. No one under 12 should use this unless your dentist tells you otherwise. Also, note that the stevia rebaudiana leaf is certified organic.\n\nToothpaste Ingredients:\n\nactive ingredient:\npotassium nitrate 5% sodium fluoride 0.24% (0.15% w/v fluoride ion)\n\ninactive ingredients:\nsorbitol, hydrated silica, purified water, xylitol, aloe vera gel, glycerin, flavor,coconut oil, xanthan gum, titanium dioxide, cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium cocoyl glutamate and stevia rebaudiana leaf extract*.\n\nWatermelon ( kids )\n\nThis one is specifically made for kids. It doesn't specify an exact age range. It just says kids of all ages. It is of course watermelon flavored. Kids love watermelon.\n\nhello toothpaste kids watermelon\n\nIt is fluoride free which is important because younger children can't always be trusted to spit out all of their toothpaste. There is a good chance that a small child will swallow some of the paste. Since fluoride is considered toxic, you don't want it to be included in a toothpaste that children might end up swallowing. It also doesn't include SLS which is nice since SLS can be a little rough.\n\nIt is specifically designed to polish and brighten. It removes plaque all while still tasting great. The better a toothpaste tastes the less change that a kid will resist having their teeth brushed. This paste does include erythritol, xylitol, and aloe vera.\n\nToothpaste Ingredients:\nsorbitol (humectant), hydrated silica (polishes and cleans teeth), purified water, vegetable glycerin (soothes and moisturizes), aloe vera gel (soothes and moisturizes), xylitol (sweetener), erythritol (sweetener), natural flavor (yum), xantham gum (thickener), lauryl glucoside (coconut/palm and corn derived cleanser), calcium glycerophosphate (mineral), titanium dioxide (mineral), potassium sorbate (maintains stability) and stevia rebaudiana leaf extract (sweetener).\n\nBubblegum ( kids )\n\nThis toothpaste is designed for kids. It is bubble gum flavored because kids are generally supposed to like sweet things like gum a little bit more than minty flavored stuff. It is listed as being for kids ages 2 and up. It is important to note that it does contain fluoride. You don't want kids to swallow this since it is toxic. I know I wouldn't trust my 3 year old to not swallow some or even most of his toothpaste. Personally, I wouldn't give this to anyone under 5 years old. You would also need to be sure that the person understands that the MUST spit the paste out after brushing. Other than that, this is a great toothpaste that kids should love.\n\nhello toothpaste kids bubblegum\n\nIt does all the normal stuff you would expect including preventing cavities, polishing teeth, increasing brightness, strengthening enamel, and tasting awesome. It doesn't have most of the harsh, dangerous ingredients that people like to avoid. Basically, they stick to friendly, natural ingredients like the other toothpastes made by Hello.\n\nTo be fair, the instructions do say that you shouldn't use too much paste for children under 6 years old. Personally, I think that any amount would be too much for any kid under 5. I would recommend just sticking with the \"Toddler Training Toothpaste\".\n\nWARNING - This one actually does contain SLS\n\nToothpaste Ingredients:\nactive ingredient: sodium fluoride 0.24% (0.15% w/v fluoride ion)\n\ninactive ingredients:\nsorbitol (humectant), hydrated silica (polishes and cleans teeth), glycerin (soothes and moisturizes), purified water, xylitol (sweetener), flavor (yum), xanthan gum (thickener), sodium lauryl sulfate (cleanser), titanium dioxide (appearance) and stevia rebaudiana leaf extract (sweetener).\n\nBlue Raspberry ( kids )\n\nThis is another toothpaste for kids.

If you don't like fluoride or if you don't need whitening, this is the tube with this flavor. It would be nice if they could produce more different varieties that are also mojito flavored.\n\nhello toothpaste mojito whitening\n\nThis has to be the most interesting product they have available next to the charcoal toothpaste. It has all of the other features that you've come to expect from Hello. It does the standard stuff like preventing cavities, freshening breath, and strengthening enamel. It whitens teeth very well since that is what this product specializes in. It doesn't include many harmful and harsh chemicals. The normal things are left out like SLS and Triclosan. It also excludes a bunch of other harmful stuff. This one specifically states that it doesn't have preservatives. It doesn't include harsh brighteners either.\n\nPersonally, I like the idea of having a mojito every time I brush my teeth. It is like having a party in your mouth. I love mojitos and I love having fresh clean teeth. A mojito is probably one of the freshest tasting drinks I can think of so it totally makes sense to have a toothpaste that takes on that flavor. This one is a shining gem among dental products. Do check it out. It is probably one of the coolest things I've done in my bathroom recently.\n\nToothpaste Ingredients:\nactive: sodium fluoride 0.24%\n\ninactive: sorbitol, hydrated silica, glycerin, purified water, xylitol, flavor, xanthan gum, cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium cocyl glutamate titanium dioxide and stevia rebaudiana leaf extract.\n\nSensitivity Relief\n\nIf you have sensitive teeth, this is the Hello Toothpaste product for you. It does contain fluoride so if you don't want that then you will want to pick something else. It contains both aloe vera and coconut oil. This is a good sign since it is meant to be soothing and healing while still being natural and friendly.\n\nhello toothpaste sensitivity relief\n\nSurprisingly, this toothpaste also helps to whiten your teeth while still being focused on relieving sensitivity. You might think that those two things are mutually exclusive but the people over at Hello designed a product that solves both of those problems. It also does all the normal stuff you would expect like protecting enamel and preventing cavities. It tastes awesome too.\n\nYou won't have to worry so much about pain if your teeth are sensitive. The whitening action is also specifically designed to be \"gentle\" so you don't have to worry. As always, they avoid the harsh stuff like sls, triclosan, and all of the other bad things we've already covered with every other tube of toothpaste that they produce. No surprises here just happy, healthy teeth.\n\nThe key ingredient for treating sensitive teeth is potassium nitrate. They include the highest level of this magical ingredient that is allowed by the FDA. If it weren't regulated, they probably would have gone higher. Pain relief isn't treated by some natural substance extracted from plants. At first glance, you might think that aloe or coconut oil is what was used to achieve this but that isn't the case. The real active ingredient is potassium nitrate. This wonderful chemical calms the nerves around the teeth which is exactly what you need if you have sensitive teeth.\n\nNote - This is not for kids. No one under 12 should use this unless your dentist tells you otherwise. Also, note that the stevia rebaudiana leaf is certified organic.\n\nToothpaste Ingredients:\n\nactive ingredient:\npotassium nitrate 5% sodium fluoride 0.24% (0.15% w/v fluoride ion)\n\ninactive ingredients:\nsorbitol, hydrated silica, purified water, xylitol, aloe vera gel, glycerin, flavor,coconut oil, xanthan gum, titanium dioxide, cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium cocoyl glutamate and stevia rebaudiana leaf extract*.\n\nWatermelon ( kids )\n\nThis one is specifically made for kids. It doesn't specify an exact age range. It just says kids of all ages. It is of course watermelon flavored. Kids love watermelon.\n\nhello toothpaste kids watermelon\n\nIt is fluoride free which is important because younger children can't always be trusted to spit out all of their toothpaste. There is a good chance that a small child will swallow some of the paste. Since fluoride is considered toxic, you don't want it to be included in a toothpaste that children might end up swallowing. It also doesn't include SLS which is nice since SLS can be a little rough.\n\nIt is specifically designed to polish and brighten. It removes plaque all while still tasting great. The better a toothpaste tastes the less change that a kid will resist having their teeth brushed. This paste does include erythritol, xylitol, and aloe vera.\n\nToothpaste Ingredients:\nsorbitol (humectant), hydrated silica (polishes and cleans teeth), purified water, vegetable glycerin (soothes and moisturizes), aloe vera gel (soothes and moisturizes), xylitol (sweetener), erythritol (sweetener), natural flavor (yum), xantham gum (thickener), lauryl glucoside (coconut/palm and corn derived cleanser), calcium glycerophosphate (mineral), titanium dioxide (mineral), potassium sorbate (maintains stability) and stevia rebaudiana leaf extract (sweetener).\n\nBubblegum ( kids )\n\nThis toothpaste is designed for kids. It is bubble gum flavored because kids are generally supposed to like sweet things like gum a little bit more than minty flavored stuff. It is listed as being for kids ages 2 and up. It is important to note that it does contain fluoride. You don't want kids to swallow this since it is toxic. I know I wouldn't trust my 3 year old to not swallow some or even most of his toothpaste. Personally, I wouldn't give this to anyone under 5 years old. You would also need to be sure that the person understands that the MUST spit the paste out after brushing. Other than that, this is a great toothpaste that kids should love.\n\nhello toothpaste kids bubblegum\n\nIt does all the normal stuff you would expect including preventing cavities, polishing teeth, increasing brightness, strengthening enamel, and tasting awesome. It doesn't have most of the harsh, dangerous ingredients that people like to avoid. Basically, they stick to friendly, natural ingredients like the other toothpastes made by Hello.\n\nTo be fair, the instructions do say that you shouldn't use too much paste for children under 6 years old. Personally, I think that any amount would be too much for any kid under 5. I would recommend just sticking with the \"Toddler Training Toothpaste\".\n\nWARNING - This one actually does contain SLS\n\nToothpaste Ingredients:\nactive ingredient: sodium fluoride 0.24% (0.15% w/v fluoride ion)\n\ninactive ingredients:\nsorbitol (humectant), hydrated silica (polishes and cleans teeth), glycerin (soothes and moisturizes), purified water, xylitol (sweetener), flavor (yum), xanthan gum (thickener), sodium lauryl sulfate (cleanser), titanium dioxide (appearance) and stevia rebaudiana leaf extract (sweetener).\n\nBlue Raspberry ( kids )\n\nThis is another toothpaste for kids. This one is basically completely identical to the bubble gum flavored toothpaste that we've already covered above except for the flavor. Everything that we've mentioned for that one holds true for this one as well. Make sure that you take the same precautions regarding fluoride.\n\nhello toothpaste kids blue raspberry\n\nThe flavor is blue raspberry. As far as I know, no such thing exists in nature. There is no natural reference flavor to match this against.

Do you know why this might be? (Do you have any tips?)\n\nA: It's hard for me to guess without seeing some kind of food journal to know exactly what you are eating \u2014\u00a0and how much. In most cases, I find people are 1) eating too many calories overall, 2) eating too many high-fat and calorie-dense foods, and 3) are drinking calories \u2014\u00a0coffee, tea, soda, smoothies, juice, alcohol.\u00a0\n\nIf you need to lose weight, I can't recommend the meal plans enough. We have so many great weight-loss success stories. The meal plans are also soy-free and gluten-free.\n\nYou can also check out this post for additional information and advice: \"Engine 2: Stuck In A Rut.\"\n\nQ:\u00a0Which of your books has the most gluten free recipes?\n\nA:\u00a0I'd say they're all about the same \u2014\u00a085% or more gluten-free. The ones that aren't automatically GF can be made GF with simple substitutions (like using gluten-free all purpose flour). I have 4 GF testers, and I don't put any recipe in my cookbook that doesn't translate. There is also a recipe for GF all-purpose flour in EHH and HHA. All three books have a \"gluten-free\" icon to designate GF recipes.\n\nQ:\u00a0Hi! \u00a0Do you have to add oats to the black bean brownies? \u00a0I am gluten intolerant.\n\nA: Yes, but you can use certified gluten-free oats, such as these from Bob's Red Mill. You can pulse rolled oats in the food processor or blender to make \"quick\" oats.\n\nQ:\u00a0I've always wondered why you don't do (healthy, whole grain of course) boxed cereals for breakfast, or whole grain breads/bagels/English muffins? I never see these on your meal plans.\n\nA:\u00a0I (personally) don't consider cereals healthy because they are so processed. Even 100% whole grain ones are processed \u2014\u00a0just think about what a grain must go through to get in a weird cereal shape. It's also nearly impossible to find whole-grain cereals that are also unsweetened , and the meal plans are designed so people can buy what they need at any store \u2014\u00a0not have to make a special trip, or spend $5 on a box of cereal. Cereal is just not an easy or affordable option \u2014\u00a0or as healthy as oats, quinoa, etc.\u00a0\n\nWe do use whole-wheat bread and bagels on\u00a0occasion, but not English muffins since I've never been able to find 100% whole-wheat, oil-free, vegan English muffins \u2014\u00a0even in large cities like New York and Los Angeles. I assume if I can't find it in a big city, most other people can't find it at all. We try to make sure the meal plans will work for everyone, even those in small cities or towns.\u00a0\n\nAnd although whole-wheat breads, etc. are better than white, they're also still more processed that oatmeal or quinoa, and not as filling, so that's another reason why we try to stick to grains.\u00a0\n\nFor more information, see this post: \"Caloric Density.\"\n\nQ:\u00a0I'm just wondering if you have any recommendations for eating out \u2014\u00a0for those times that you forgot to make lunch or didn't get up early enough in the morning to make one.\u00a0\n\nA:\u00a0There are about a dozen blog posts on this \u2014\u00a0click the \"Travel\" button or try the search bar.\n\nQ:\u00a0We have five hens that free range 100 percent on twenty acres and come in at night on their own, and I shut the area for safety \u2014\u00a0I have felt ethically it is reasonable to eat their eggs; however, health-wise, I am wondering after watching Forks Over Knives.\n\nA:\u00a0Eggs contain cholesterol, which is harmful to the heart. All dietary cholesterol (meaning cholesterol you eat) is harmful. It only exists in animal foods.\u00a0\n\nThe takeaway from FOK is simple: only eat plant foods.

Sleep-deprived zombies can take heart in the list of people who do with much less: Barack Obama, for example, says he gets by with just four hours a night and yet he still seems capable of, like, running the country and stuff. (As for whether the same is true for members of Obama's inner circle, well, that's another issue.)\n\nPlenty of other successful people fall into the same category. Martha Stewart says she, too, makes do with four hours. Donald Trump, for his part, claims he only closes his beautiful blue eyes for three or four hours a night, which makes sense given his busy schedule defending beauty contestants, hamming it up on cable news programs, and combing his mane of golden hair.

Think about the sort of colors you would like to wear. Do you have blue eyes? Match your bracelet to your eyes with an alternating blue/green, or blue/yellow bracelet. Are you planning on wearing a red outfit? Make a predominantly red bracelet. Maybe you don't want to match at all. You are versatile and unique, so why not make your bracelets the same? Many websites sell multiple different colors, from monochrome bands to multicolored, tie-dye, and glow in the dark.<|endoftext|>", "base_doc": " person is communicating with his self.\n\nThe main question is, is communication necessary? Why do people have the need to communicate?\n\nPeople communicate to understand other people and to interact. It is necessary because without it people will fight because misunderstanding can happen. Imagine a group of people with different ideas and not being able to communicate. The people will surely fight because the other person will assume because he cannot understand the perspective of the other.\n\nCommunication enables people to create a group that will understand each other. One good example of communication is love. When two people enter a relationship, they will plan for their future and their dream family. Planning includes communication; therefore, the foundation of their plans is thru communicating with each other and telling each other their plans. Another is in a family, when the child enters his or her dream university he or she has to tell her parents her passion so that they will understand whatever path he or she might take. Last example is in a company, stockholders will hold a meeting to plan the future endeavor\u2019s of the company. Communication is most needed in this situation, because not just the future of the company will be affected but the lives of all the employees in it. If the stockholders will not communicate with each other, the company will surely go down.\n\nCommunication is needed, because without it people will be just like objects, no emotions, no language and no interaction.\n\nrelated articles<|endoftext|>Just Me Having A Bad Day\n\nNot being on anti-depressants anymore has taught me to face the pain. I have to get up at three every morning and face another day.\n\nThe worst and happiest moment used to be from 6-7 every morning... I got the opportunity to collect my boys and take them to school, until their father decided that he would much rather drop them off and I can collect them in the afternoons. It didn't work out that way and I haven't seen them for 5 days.\n\nOn average I might get about an hour sleep a night because my brain has never allowed itself to switch off... It started when I was 6 and has been in \"protect mode\" ever since then. I used to be the shield between my father and my older sister, protecting her from what I went through became my only reason for living.\n\nToday my sister hates me for leaving an abusive husband. She hates me for having children and \"abandoning\" them. I know hate is a strong word and that there is a fine line between hate and love but how can anyone love someone like me? All broken and a hundred shades of messed up...\n\nMy family is judgmental at the work that I do, apparently farming is below \"our standards\"... I live for my work, it's the only positive thing that I have in my life, it's value adding not only to every person that buys the produce but it's therapeutic to watch the tiniest seedling grow in a matter of weeks. It's also one of the few occupations where I don't have to be close to anybody else.\n\nI know this story doesn't make sense and I don't expect anyone to comment or even read it.

Sleep-deprived zombies can take heart in the list of people who do with much less: Barack Obama, for example, says he gets by with just four hours a night and yet he still seems capable of, like, running the country and stuff. (As for whether the same is true for members of Obama's inner circle, well, that's another issue.)\n\nPlenty of other successful people fall into the same category. Martha Stewart says she, too, makes do with four hours. Donald Trump, for his part, claims he only closes his beautiful blue eyes for three or four hours a night, which makes sense given his busy schedule defending beauty contestants, hamming it up on cable news programs, and combing his mane of golden hair.

When tested on 40 strains of bacteria and fungi, the essential oil of T. minuta had a 100% inhibitory effect on Gram-positive bacteria, a 95% inhibitory effect on Gram-negative bacteria, and a 100% inhibitory effect on fungi.\n\nHudson (1990) tested the many different secondary compounds for anti-viral activity, and determined that thiophenes demonstrated the greatest anti-viral action at the lowest doses, and with the least toxicity overall. Of the thiophenes, molecules with two or more thiophene units showed the highest activity. In all cases, the best success was against viruses with envelopes. Hudson tested 32 thiophenes, evaluated their efficacy and determined the 10 most effective ones (Fig. 3). Atkinson et al. (1964) first reported the thiophenes found in Tagetes minuta.

These actions are in accordance with the reported folk use of the beverage as a medical decoction. Given that generations of South Americans have used T. minuta as a beverage and condiment, it seems that use in moderation causes no ill effects; however additional toxicology studies would be necessary prior to marketing the plant as a beverage.\n\n\nTagetes minuta can be used for a hot or cold refreshing beverage. In taste tests at the University of Texas, subjects reported that the flavor is slightly sweet and anise-like, mild and not overpowering to the palate.

Sports Agent Jerry (Tom Cruise) is scrambling to keep his clients after he breaks from his big agency to go out on his own. Trapped on a call with football player Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr.), Jerry becomes more and more desperate. Rod just wants assurances that he\u2019ll get the personal attention Jerry has been promising and a new contract in his home state. The scene ends with Rod gleefully entreating Jerry to chant \u201cShow me the money!\u201d over the phone, increasingly louder and louder, until he finally gives in and agrees to still be his client. Aside from just being funny, this scene is really telling about what motivates people. At the end of the day, Rod wants to make sure that his priorities for job security and money are the same as Jerry\u2019s.\n\nThis is really true of most people. Sure, the bottom line isn\u2019t what gives you passion to do your job well, but ensuring you have job and financial security is part of the foundation for why most of us work. For business leaders, especially in healthcare with all its payment models and complexity, financial stability and budget are always top of mind for this very reason.\n\nAs a healthcare marketer, when you plan to invest in new technology or services to help you achieve your awareness, engagement, acquisition, and loyalty goals, you need to keep that executive mindset at the forefront as you build your business case. Thinking like an executive keeps you on the same page and helps you build an argument for your investment that is more likely to get approved. If you can answer executive concerns and prove how a technology solution can save money or is structured to help you bring in more financial return, finding room in the budget is that much easier.\n\nOf course, each platform or solution-type you\u2019re looking at will have its own unique justifications for its worth. A CRM has a different value proposition than marketing automation, for example. But, in general, there are a few simple arguments you can make for you next healthcare technology purchase that will really speak to the C-suite outlook.\n\nHow to Sell Executives On Your Mission\n\n1. Think about avoiding wasted money. Maybe the solution you\u2019re interested in makes you more efficient or shows you places where you could be spending your money in different ways for better results. Multi-channel campaign management tools are a great example of this.\n\n2. Think about partnerships. When you invest in a new technology, is service part of the agreement or does the solution stand alone to ease the burden on your team? Using technology and services to help your team get more done is a great way to save budget. Directory Listings solutions can offer that aid from service partnerships and Reputation Management solutions give you the benefit of both technology and services.\n\n3. Think about gaining a leg up on the competition. If your current marketing methods are outdated, how well can you compete with the health system down the street. Tell your C-suite how a new solution will not only make your team smart, allow you to show a return on investment, and engage more patients before your competitor does. Newer CRM solutions, with real-time capabilities, are perfect for this.\n\n4. Think about doing your research. If you can show you did the legwork on a solution\u2019s unique value and benefits, especially if your research shows how a tool can help you follow best practices, save money elsewhere, or even future-proof your investment, you\u2019re golden. Next level CMS platforms, designed with the healthcare consumer in mind, are ideal for this type of argument. And if the CMS is cloud-based and don\u2019t have to be replaced year-over-year, you\u2019ve got an even more persuasive case.\n\nWant more tips on getting the marketing technology partnership you want or tools to make your team more efficient?

Don\u2019t Be Afraid to Incorporate Ideas From Others \u00a0\n\nOne of Lasso\u2019s strengths -- arguably his only -- as a soccer strategist is his willingness to incorporate ideas others have without his ego or authority being threatened. Whether taking advice from Coach Beard, Roy Kent, or Nathan, or learning trick plays from his players, Lasso is always willing to listen to new ideas. This is particularly important for teachers who now need to constantly adapt to new technology and be willing to reach out to colleagues and students to learn about everything from new digital platforms to what kind of music students are listening to.\u00a0\n\n4.

The season frequently features darker themes and not-so-happy-go-lucky twists, much to the dismay of some viewers. And while we can debate the merits of the direction season 2 took from a dramatic perspective, it\u2019s certainly true in life and in the classroom that just being positive can\u2019t overcome all obstacles. No matter how hard we work and upbeat we are, we\u2019ll encounter stumbling blocks, obstacles, and losses. Avoiding toxic positivity means not glossing over the struggles of students, colleagues, and ourselves. In other words, even if we choose to see the cup as half full, we have to acknowledge that sometimes it\u2019s half full of tea.\u00a0\n\n5. Winning Isn\u2019t Everything\u00a0\n\nLasso cares more about the players on his team than he does about winning. And while that might not be the attitude you\u2019d prefer the coach of your favorite sports team to have, there\u2019s a lesson there for teachers. As educators, we\u2019re rightly concerned with scores and how well students understand the subjects we\u2019re teaching, but although assessment of student academic performance is important, the impact of a good class is about more than just the final score or grade, and education is not zero sum. Often as adults look back at their education, they don\u2019t remember what an educator or mentor taught them about a specific subject, but they do remember the way that educator cared about them as a person, and got them excited for class, whatever that class was. Sometimes it really isn\u2019t the final score that counts but how you played the game.\u00a0\n\nBonus Lesson: Tea is Terrible\u00a0\n\nThis vital lesson about \u201cgarbage water\u201d is likely not part of your curriculum but it should be.\u00a0\n\nDoes something from Ted Lasso resonate with you in the classroom?

Also, smart contracts are enabled on the Ethereum blockchain. The Ethereum platform has a lot of potential for development and innovation. Investing in Ethereum can lead to big returns because the price has been steadily increasing. The cryptocurrency is also trending upward and people think that this trend will continue which will lead to large gains for investors. In this section, I will write about why investing in Ethereum is a good idea. Ethereum has been gaining traction for many reasons. It is a decentralized network that means it can\u2019t be shut down by any one single entity. Ethereum also uses the concept of smart contracts which are self-executing contracts with the terms being directly written into lines of code.Furthermore, Ethereum\u2019s blockchain is more advanced than Bitcoin\u2019s because it offers a more efficient way to run applications on its network. This makes it more valuable in some ways because Ethereum can do things that Bitcoin cannot. read more\n\nRead More<|endoftext|>Public Release:\u00a0\n\nQuestioning the link between pollution by magnetite particles and Alzheimer's disease\n\n\nA 2016 study* showed that exposure to urban pollution involving magnetite particles played a role in the development of Alzheimer's disease. It began from the hypothesis that magnetite particles would generate chemical reactions that could cause oxidative stress for neurons. CNRS researchers have now called this connection into question, showing that it is very unlikely that magnetite is involved in neuron degeneration. Their work was published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition on October 11, 2018.\n\nMagnetite, which is one of the main iron ores, is very stable, even over the geological timescale. However, a scientific study that appeared in 2016 suggested that magnetite nanoparticles coming from atmospheric pollution could penetrate the brain by inhalation and, by binding to amyloid peptide**, cause the neuron degeneration responsible for Alzheimer's disease.\n\nA 2007 study*** described that magnetite could generate harmful oxidation reactions. The 2016 article presenting magnetite penetration into the brain and its binding to amyloid stated that atmospheric pollution was therefore a probable cause of Alzheimer's disease.\n\nResearchers from the CNRS Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination reproduced the experiments under the same temperature and pH conditions as physiological conditions and have shown that magnetite cannot bind to amyloid peptide or cause oxidation reactions.\n\nThis result, which agrees with magnetite's very high stability, therefore leads us to think that magnetite is inert in vivo and that it is therefore very unlikely that it is involved in the neuron degeneration observed in Alzheimer's disease. This study must lead to careful rereading of the experimental work on the hazardous nature of magnetite in the human brain.\n\n\n* B. Maher, I. A. M. Ahmed, V. Karloukovski, D. A. MacLaren, P. G.

Zoe says this is all we get.\u201d His hand had begun to bleed through the bandage Tom had wrapped it with, and Mal was sure that it hurt Jayne more\u2019n a little, though the giant mercenary would never admit it openly.\n\n\u201cThat\u2019s all we are gettin\u2019, double-crossin\u2019 bu huihen de pofu. Let\u2019s move before we get away with even less than we got, or don\u2019t get away at all.\u201d\n\nJayne hadn\u2019t noticed Mal\u2019s limp until he started walking toward the door to the little ship. As he opened his mouth to ask, the engines roared to life, causing Mal to quicken his pace. Once he was inside with the outer door shut, he felt the ship lift off of the ground, the unsteady tilt almost taking his feet out from under him as he and Jayne both stumbled to keep their balance.\n\n\u201cGorramit woman, can\u2019t you keep this thing level?\u201d Jayne yelled, leaning against the back wall as the ship began to accelerate.\n\n\u201cDo you wanna try flyin\u2019 this thing, or are you going to just keep making noise? Next time, maybe I\u2019ll open the back doors before accelerating.\u201d\n\n\u201cBizui! We aren\u2019t in the clear yet. According to Wash, there is another ship headed this way, and there are still the other four patrol boats out there. We need to head toward that base until we pass the approaching ship, gotta look like we are taking wounded troops back to base.\u201d Mal limped forward to the cockpit, reaching for the control that would turn on the scanner and give him access to the 2-6-2.\n\n\u201cMal, what happened to you? Yer walkin\u2019 like someone stuck a lead pipe up your...\u201d\n\n\u201cThat\u2019s enough. I got shot, that\u2019s all. Crazy woman shot me in my ass.\u201d\n\nTrying her best to conceal her smile, Zoe asked, \u201cIs it bad, sir?\u201d\n\n\u201cIs it bad? I got shot in the ass!\u201d Mal smiled, picturing Simon\u2019s response. \u201cPrissy doc\u2019s gonna have a fit when I tell him where he has to take the bullet out.\u201d\n\nJayne, who had been laughing aloud since Mal mentioned the wound, calmed himself slightly, moved to the front of the ship to talk to the other two. \u201cSo, how much\u2019re we gettin\u2019 paid for all our troubles?\u201d He gestured to the large bag full of gold bars. \u201cIf\u2019n that\u2019s all ours, I am gonna be one ruttin\u2019 happy man.\u201d\n\n\u201cYou might not get to be a ruttin\u2019 happy man,\u201d Mal winced as the pain in his rear reminded him that it was still there, \u201cBut you still might be a happy one. Half of that is ours, which makes your ten percent equal to two and a half of those gold bars. If that don\u2019t make you at least a mite happy, I am sure I can find other uses for it.\u201d Mal shot the larger man a smile, knowing that the payment would definitely make his disposition a bit brighter.\n\n\u201cHell yeah that makes me happy, Mal,\u201d Jayne exclaimed excitedly, the prospect of such a payday helping him to ignore the pain in his left hand. \u201cWe gonna go somewhere decent where we can spend some of it?\u201d Jayne opened the zipper of the bag slightly, pulling out one of the heavy metal bars. He held it up in front of his eyes almost reverently, weighing the heft of the solid block in his uninjured hand. \u201cYeah Mal, this\u2019ll do.\u201d\n\n\u201cGlad to hear it. Zoe, keep us at a constant speed until we are within range of the oncoming ship, and listen up for them to hail us. I\u2019ll talk to him when he calls. Jayne, you make ready in case he is less than convinced by storytelling.\u201d\n\nZoe rolled her eyes as Jayne attempted and failed to hold in a laugh. Mal turned to the viewscreen, a determined look on his face. He punched in the commands to access the 2-6-2, getting right through on his first attempt.\n\n\u201cStill no sign of them Lieutenant, we don\u2019t know where they could have gone.\u201d\n\n\u201cYou guys split up, and I will split with Wedge. I need to meet the Commander, as it seems the others managed to capture the target, and he needs me there. Carry on with the search until you find those Browncoat scum, and bring them to me. Alternatively, you can just kill them, avoid the paperwork and labor from having to process them. Over.\u201d\n\n\u201cThat voice was the voice of Lieutenant Alec Graham, former Sergeant of the Browncoat army, now apparently a Lieutenant for the Alliance. I\u2019ll bet you my share of that gold that the Commander he is talking about is Ryan Harley.\u201d\n\nMal looked up from the screen just in time to see the small blue ship appear on the horizon in front of them.\n\n- - -\n\nAmos lifted the heavy bag onto his left shoulder, his large gun still clenched tightly in his right. Claire and Tom had already moved toward the exit with Anya ambling along behind them, still a little shaken up from the attack. When they were fifteen yards away from the door, they could hear multiple gunshots outside, and by the time they reached the door, the sound of the other ship\u2019s engines filled their ears, gradually lessening as the other craft flew away. Amos could hear Claire\u2019s cursing from outside the cargo bay.\n\n\u201cBen tiansheng de yi dui rou! Wangbadan de biaozi! He chusheng zajiao de zanghuo! Why the hell didn\u2019t I kill him?\u201d\n\n\u201cClaire, what\u2019s wrong?\u201d Tom asked her, keeping his distance so he didn\u2019t become a target for the physical eruption of her rage.\n\n\u201cOh, I should have learned the first time not to ever underestimate Mal. I should have either shot him dead on the spot, or at the very least covered him until he got into the ship. Now we have to fly the Firefly, he disabled the other Alliance boat.\u201d\n\nTom, sensing the urgency in her voice, headed back inside, filling Amos in before heading immediately up to the bridge, Claire following closely behind. Amos slung his gun over his shoulder, hit the button to close the airlock doors, then returned to Anya\u2019s side to help her get to the engine room.\n\nOnce on the bridge, Claire began the powerup sequence, strings of unintelligible curses flowing freely from her as she thought of all sorts of horrible things to do to Malcolm Reynolds.\n\n- - -\n\n\u201c2-7-3-Echo-Tango, what\u2019s your destination? Jerry, where\u2019re you going?\u201d\n\nThe voice was crisp and clear as it emanated from the comm. on the main console, startling Mal slightly. He quickly turned and grabbed the device, calming his mind to keep his voice steady for the forthcoming storytelling.\n\n\u201cSir, some of our men are more wounded than we previously thought, and need more immediate medical attention. We left the able-bodied there with the target. She\u2019s a fiery one, ya know?\u201d\n\n\u201cYes, I am more than aware of her fervor. After you get the wounded settled, prepare your report for me. Over.\u201d\n\nThe small blue ship that had been approaching them flew past a moment later, and Mal had to agree with Wash\u2019s assessment that it was one of the fastest he had ever seen.\n\nReplacing the comm. on the console, Mal poked the tiny activator button on the transceiver in his ear. \u201cWash, we\u2019re clear.\u201d He looked at a terrain map on a side viewscreen. \u201cAbout forty klicks south of us is a decent canyon where we can meet up, leave this ruttin\u2019 ship and get off of this gorram rock. Coordinates are nine point seventeen point six by eleven point twenty-four point one.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe\u2019ll see you there Mal. Do I need to tell Simon to get the infirmary ready?\u201d\n\nGrinning to himself at what the doctor\u2019s reaction would be when he saw the wound, Mal responded, \u201cYeah, me and Jayne might need a little patching up.\u201d\n\n- - -\n\nClaire continued to curse as the Firefly\u2019s thrusters struggled to power up. Tom watched helplessly, his frustration growing as hers did.\n\n\u201cAnya, is there anything you can do to make this pile of goushi warm up any faster?\u201d\n\n\u201cIt should only take a minute more Claire.

Zoe says this is all we get.\u201d His hand had begun to bleed through the bandage Tom had wrapped it with, and Mal was sure that it hurt Jayne more\u2019n a little, though the giant mercenary would never admit it openly.\n\n\u201cThat\u2019s all we are gettin\u2019, double-crossin\u2019 bu huihen de pofu. Let\u2019s move before we get away with even less than we got, or don\u2019t get away at all.\u201d\n\nJayne hadn\u2019t noticed Mal\u2019s limp until he started walking toward the door to the little ship. As he opened his mouth to ask, the engines roared to life, causing Mal to quicken his pace. Once he was inside with the outer door shut, he felt the ship lift off of the ground, the unsteady tilt almost taking his feet out from under him as he and Jayne both stumbled to keep their balance.\n\n\u201cGorramit woman, can\u2019t you keep this thing level?\u201d Jayne yelled, leaning against the back wall as the ship began to accelerate.\n\n\u201cDo you wanna try flyin\u2019 this thing, or are you going to just keep making noise? Next time, maybe I\u2019ll open the back doors before accelerating.\u201d\n\n\u201cBizui! We aren\u2019t in the clear yet. According to Wash, there is another ship headed this way, and there are still the other four patrol boats out there. We need to head toward that base until we pass the approaching ship, gotta look like we are taking wounded troops back to base.\u201d Mal limped forward to the cockpit, reaching for the control that would turn on the scanner and give him access to the 2-6-2.\n\n\u201cMal, what happened to you? Yer walkin\u2019 like someone stuck a lead pipe up your...\u201d\n\n\u201cThat\u2019s enough. I got shot, that\u2019s all. Crazy woman shot me in my ass.\u201d\n\nTrying her best to conceal her smile, Zoe asked, \u201cIs it bad, sir?\u201d\n\n\u201cIs it bad? I got shot in the ass!\u201d Mal smiled, picturing Simon\u2019s response. \u201cPrissy doc\u2019s gonna have a fit when I tell him where he has to take the bullet out.\u201d\n\nJayne, who had been laughing aloud since Mal mentioned the wound, calmed himself slightly, moved to the front of the ship to talk to the other two. \u201cSo, how much\u2019re we gettin\u2019 paid for all our troubles?\u201d He gestured to the large bag full of gold bars. \u201cIf\u2019n that\u2019s all ours, I am gonna be one ruttin\u2019 happy man.\u201d\n\n\u201cYou might not get to be a ruttin\u2019 happy man,\u201d Mal winced as the pain in his rear reminded him that it was still there, \u201cBut you still might be a happy one. Half of that is ours, which makes your ten percent equal to two and a half of those gold bars. If that don\u2019t make you at least a mite happy, I am sure I can find other uses for it.\u201d Mal shot the larger man a smile, knowing that the payment would definitely make his disposition a bit brighter.\n\n\u201cHell yeah that makes me happy, Mal,\u201d Jayne exclaimed excitedly, the prospect of such a payday helping him to ignore the pain in his left hand. \u201cWe gonna go somewhere decent where we can spend some of it?\u201d Jayne opened the zipper of the bag slightly, pulling out one of the heavy metal bars. He held it up in front of his eyes almost reverently, weighing the heft of the solid block in his uninjured hand. \u201cYeah Mal, this\u2019ll do.\u201d\n\n\u201cGlad to hear it. Zoe, keep us at a constant speed until we are within range of the oncoming ship, and listen up for them to hail us. I\u2019ll talk to him when he calls. Jayne, you make ready in case he is less than convinced by storytelling.\u201d\n\nZoe rolled her eyes as Jayne attempted and failed to hold in a laugh. Mal turned to the viewscreen, a determined look on his face. He punched in the commands to access the 2-6-2, getting right through on his first attempt.\n\n\u201cStill no sign of them Lieutenant, we don\u2019t know where they could have gone.\u201d\n\n\u201cYou guys split up, and I will split with Wedge. I need to meet the Commander, as it seems the others managed to capture the target, and he needs me there. Carry on with the search until you find those Browncoat scum, and bring them to me. Alternatively, you can just kill them, avoid the paperwork and labor from having to process them. Over.\u201d\n\n\u201cThat voice was the voice of Lieutenant Alec Graham, former Sergeant of the Browncoat army, now apparently a Lieutenant for the Alliance. I\u2019ll bet you my share of that gold that the Commander he is talking about is Ryan Harley.\u201d\n\nMal looked up from the screen just in time to see the small blue ship appear on the horizon in front of them.\n\n- - -\n\nAmos lifted the heavy bag onto his left shoulder, his large gun still clenched tightly in his right. Claire and Tom had already moved toward the exit with Anya ambling along behind them, still a little shaken up from the attack. When they were fifteen yards away from the door, they could hear multiple gunshots outside, and by the time they reached the door, the sound of the other ship\u2019s engines filled their ears, gradually lessening as the other craft flew away. Amos could hear Claire\u2019s cursing from outside the cargo bay.\n\n\u201cBen tiansheng de yi dui rou! Wangbadan de biaozi! He chusheng zajiao de zanghuo! Why the hell didn\u2019t I kill him?\u201d\n\n\u201cClaire, what\u2019s wrong?\u201d Tom asked her, keeping his distance so he didn\u2019t become a target for the physical eruption of her rage.\n\n\u201cOh, I should have learned the first time not to ever underestimate Mal. I should have either shot him dead on the spot, or at the very least covered him until he got into the ship. Now we have to fly the Firefly, he disabled the other Alliance boat.\u201d\n\nTom, sensing the urgency in her voice, headed back inside, filling Amos in before heading immediately up to the bridge, Claire following closely behind. Amos slung his gun over his shoulder, hit the button to close the airlock doors, then returned to Anya\u2019s side to help her get to the engine room.\n\nOnce on the bridge, Claire began the powerup sequence, strings of unintelligible curses flowing freely from her as she thought of all sorts of horrible things to do to Malcolm Reynolds.\n\n- - -\n\n\u201c2-7-3-Echo-Tango, what\u2019s your destination? Jerry, where\u2019re you going?\u201d\n\nThe voice was crisp and clear as it emanated from the comm. on the main console, startling Mal slightly. He quickly turned and grabbed the device, calming his mind to keep his voice steady for the forthcoming storytelling.\n\n\u201cSir, some of our men are more wounded than we previously thought, and need more immediate medical attention. We left the able-bodied there with the target. She\u2019s a fiery one, ya know?\u201d\n\n\u201cYes, I am more than aware of her fervor. After you get the wounded settled, prepare your report for me. Over.\u201d\n\nThe small blue ship that had been approaching them flew past a moment later, and Mal had to agree with Wash\u2019s assessment that it was one of the fastest he had ever seen.\n\nReplacing the comm. on the console, Mal poked the tiny activator button on the transceiver in his ear. \u201cWash, we\u2019re clear.\u201d He looked at a terrain map on a side viewscreen. \u201cAbout forty klicks south of us is a decent canyon where we can meet up, leave this ruttin\u2019 ship and get off of this gorram rock. Coordinates are nine point seventeen point six by eleven point twenty-four point one.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe\u2019ll see you there Mal. Do I need to tell Simon to get the infirmary ready?\u201d\n\nGrinning to himself at what the doctor\u2019s reaction would be when he saw the wound, Mal responded, \u201cYeah, me and Jayne might need a little patching up.\u201d\n\n- - -\n\nClaire continued to curse as the Firefly\u2019s thrusters struggled to power up. Tom watched helplessly, his frustration growing as hers did.\n\n\u201cAnya, is there anything you can do to make this pile of goushi warm up any faster?\u201d\n\n\u201cIt should only take a minute more Claire. I am doing all that I can.\n\nThe silent moments stretched on to an eternity as Claire watched the indicators that would tell her when the engines were ready. Finally, the LED blinked green and her hands were instantly on the controls. She pulled them toward herself, feeling the ship rise a few meters, then a sudden impact as the ship dropped back to the ground. Looking out the front windows, she could see the green glow of an electromagnetic net. She stood, instinctively reaching for her gun as she realized that it was a futile reaction. The doors slammed shut as the magnetic field began to lock the ship down, a look of abject terror spreading across Claire\u2019s face.\n\n- - -\n\nZ", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 59026, "pt_loc": 233581440, "pt_shuffle_idx": 174740570, "doc_index_f": 273921445, "doc_index_l": 273921445, "offset_f": 21028, "offset_l": 23076, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 103, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": "Personal Care and Style: How to dress in knee length skirts.

June 17, 2015\n\nDid Justice Katz Free a Guilty Man?\n\nMidway through the trial of husband Yun Qing \"Jack\" Lui for the murder of his wife Cissy Chen, the trial Judge\u00a0 'reluctantly' ruled\u00a0as inadmissible, evidence from a person described as close to the victim.\nVictim Cissy had expressed to her friend\u00a0on the morning Cissy disappeared that should she die or be dying\u00a0 her husband Jack would be responsible.\n\nAfter a seven week trial a jury found Jack not guilty.\nDuring the Bain fiasco the now late Justice Neil Williamson ruled out evidence from Laniet Bain's boyfriend on alleged assertions that Robin Bain was in an incestuous relationship with Laniet.\nWhether to include Robin as having a motive or a serious impact on an already seriously dysfunctional family such activity could have had major impact around how David and/or Robin might have been affected, My thinking was seriously interested in such evidence and it was nothing to do with prurience only justice and its delivery.\n\nWhen Justices make such decisions they are making serious impacts on the larger picture and by ruling such evidence out possibly\u00a0giving decisive emphasis in a finely balanced deliberation.\n\nJustice Susan Katz admitted her decision was reluctantly arrived at but she decided the evidence as to possible motive could be prejudicial.\nNow I am

I set my helmet on a counter, asked for a socket, downed a Starbucks iced coffee, bought a USA Today (which, at that point, was yesterday), and contemplated my future as an urban camper. Customers, all young men, paid for gas, maybe beer, and left. Where were they going?\n\nAfter 45 minutes, having reached no definite conclusions, I pocketed my phone and cord and began pedaling north on Green Springs, toward Broadway along Shades Creek. A gazebo and picnic table had recently been built near the creek. I sat down and felt a buzz. It was Abby, texting.\n\n\u201cMy phone is showing you on Green Springs??? That\u2019s not right. You better not be riding around. That\u2019s not safe.\u201d\n\n\u201cFeels safer than being in The Blair Witch Project.\u201d\n\n\u201cYou OK?\u201d\n\n\u201cCan\u2019t sleep. Freaking out.\u201d\n\n\u201cFreaking out??? Ok, well I\u2019m worried. Do you want to come home?\u201d\n\n\u201cNo. Sticking it out.\u201d\n\n\nI texted Abby about the homeless man, the convenience store.\n\n\u201cI hope he doesn\u2019t steal your stuff.\u201d\n\n\u201cHe couldn\u2019t find it if he tried.\u201d\n\n\u201cLet me know when you get back.\u201d\n\nShades Creek trickled behind me. The light over the gazebo was soft and houses, in the aptly named Edgewood neighborhood, emitted a pleasantly human yellow glow. I found a secluded corner behind the Edgewood gazebo and peed some four hours\u2019 worth of Diet Mountain Dew and Starbucks, my trickling in symphony with the creek\u2019s.\n\n\u201cLet\u2019s try this again,\u201d I thought. It was a resolute sort of statement, a castle of straw built on a bedrock of doubt and neurosis, in retrospect, but I nonetheless pedaled past Circle K and into the west trailhead. The homeless man had vanished. I pedaled further into the woods, no flashlight this time, cocksure, my eyes fixed on the trail\u2019s yellow line. \u201cThere\u2019s the white bucket!\u201d I thought, and 90 degrees and a hundred yards to its right, my tent. And what\u2019s inside that tent, breathing in the putrescence of fetid kudzu? A homeless man asleep on my new sleeping bag, the Blair Witch girl filming her last video, snakes, rabid dogs, possessed hogs, a plague of frogs, prophets glowing with eerie light, psychopaths, sociopaths, their girlfriends, Squeaky Fromme, the Underwood deviled ham logo sprung to life? I sped up.\n\nAbby was sitting on the porch when I pedaled into our parking lot 20 minutes later. She told me she had felt a sort of symbiosis, sleeping nervously, waking up when she imagined I did.\n\n\u201cYou\u2019ve been following me on the phone?\u201d\n\n\n\u201cI\u2019m coming inside.\u201d\n\nPhysically, I had become a composite of several of my most troubling mental images, by all appearances, a deranged domestic intruder one should subdue and question later. Spider webs covered my arms, face, and chest. Grime clung to me like a bad spray tan. My sweat-drenched shorts hung limply on my hips. My throbbing ass, an artifact of several hours of cycling and clenching, gave me a pronounced limp.\n\n\u201cWhere\u2019s your helmet?\u201d Abby asked.\n\n\u201cHelmet? Do I not have it on?\u201d\n\n\n\u201cI don\u2019t know. Circle K, probably.\u201d\n\n\u201cAren\u2019t you worried about someone stealing your stuff?\u201d\n\n\u201cI\u2019d pay thousands of dollars not to go back there.\u201d\n\nI ate pot roast, not because I was hungry, but because Abby, not a gorp factory in California, had made it in a proper Crockpot. I stripped and showered, dressed and fell asleep. At some point before falling out, a transformation had taken place. I was Phil again.\n\n2013-12-06 05.59.22-1Two hours later, I, Phil, civilized, coffeed, and still groggy, was driving back to Shades Creek. Joggers were already on the trail, which the sunlight had demystified. To the trail\u2019s south, a woman was walking her dog. The dog, a spunky, white West Highland terrier, bolted in and out of the woods, pulling ever nearer to my abandoned campsite. Maybe they were now its squatters? Doubtful. Even in the morning light, finding the site took effort.\n\nThe smallness of the tent struck me. I had attempted to sleep in 90- to 100-degree heat in what amounted to little more than a large nylon jumpsuit. I rolled up the tent, then the sleeping bag, stuffing each in their pouches. Stray items went inside my Target bag. While toting the three bags toward the trail, my shoe, miraculously, found fresh dog crap, presumably a gift from the spunky Westie. A doody-caked Nike, in light of the night before, seemed tolerable. Circle K management, I discovered a few minutes later, had secured my helmet. They probably didn\u2019t deserve having me scrape my shoe on their curb.\n\nI had undone in a few short minutes what seemed a few hours earlier a personal, psychic, and metaphysical disaster I will forever associate with the misguided phenomenon that is urban camping. Camping should allow a person, a man, to remain a man. I descended from that noble state, away from higher order thinking, to the cusp of reptilian brain function. I will bike-camp alone again. I must or die in shame. I\u2019ve already begun pricing one-man tents. But when I camp alone again, it will be on my terms, not urban camping\u2019s.\n\nAnd it sure as hell won\u2019t be in August. I\u2019ve thought about the anxiety of that moment. Abby has diagnosed it as heat-induced paranoia. I\u2019m not sure that\u2019s a thing, but I doubt that urban camping is much of a thing. I did experience something while doing something. I\u2019ll unpack that experience over time, perhaps in Target, while munching on nuts and dried fruit, while cycling, or maybe while I\u2019m jogging at dusk along Shades Creek, drenched in sweat and sensing in the shadows the invisible gaze of woodland eyes.\n\nOne Response to \u201cPanic on Shades Creek\u201d\n\n 1.

Your brain decides whether to wake you or let you keep sleeping when sounds occur. Sudowoodo/ Shutterstcok\n\nAlthough our ears continue to work as usual, our brain acts as a filter and decides whether we should respond to the sound and wake up or continue sleeping.\n\nRead more: Curious Kids: why don't people fall out of bed when they are sleeping?\n\nIf we wake up, then we can form a memory of having heard the sound, but if we don\u2019t wake up then it\u2019s as though we didn\u2019t hear anything.\n\nThis is an extraordinary tool as it protects our sleep so we don\u2019t wake up to everything happening while we sleep.\n\nBut it also doesn\u2019t completely shut us off from the outside world which would be terrible for our survival.\n\nOur brain responds to loud sounds\n\nLouder sounds are more likely to wake us up than quieter sounds.\n\nFor example, a loud bang from someone dropping something in the middle of the night is likely to startle and wake us.\n\nBut we\u2019ll probably sleep through the sound of a mosquito quietly buzzing nearby.\n\nCurious Kids: why can't people hear in their sleep?

My throbbing ass, an artifact of several hours of cycling and clenching, gave me a pronounced limp.\n\n\u201cWhere\u2019s your helmet?\u201d Abby asked.\n\n\u201cHelmet? Do I not have it on?\u201d\n\n\n\u201cI don\u2019t know. Circle K, probably.\u201d\n\n\u201cAren\u2019t you worried about someone stealing your stuff?\u201d\n\n\u201cI\u2019d pay thousands of dollars not to go back there.\u201d\n\nI ate pot roast, not because I was hungry, but because Abby, not a gorp factory in California, had made it in a proper Crockpot. I stripped and showered, dressed and fell asleep. At some point before falling out, a transformation had taken place. I was Phil again.\n\n2013-12-06 05.59.22-1Two hours later, I, Phil, civilized, coffeed, and still groggy, was driving back to Shades Creek. Joggers were already on the trail, which the sunlight had demystified. To the trail\u2019s south, a woman was walking her dog. The dog, a spunky, white West Highland terrier, bolted in and out of the woods, pulling ever nearer to my abandoned campsite. Maybe they were now its squatters? Doubtful. Even in the morning light, finding the site took effort.\n\nThe smallness of the tent struck me. I had attempted to sleep in 90- to 100-degree heat in what amounted to little more than a large nylon jumpsuit. I rolled up the tent, then the sleeping bag, stuffing each in their pouches. Stray items went inside my Target bag. While toting the three bags toward the trail, my shoe, miraculously, found fresh dog crap, presumably a gift from the spunky Westie. A doody-caked Nike, in light of the night before, seemed tolerable. Circle K management, I discovered a few minutes later, had secured my helmet. They probably didn\u2019t deserve having me scrape my shoe on their curb.\n\nI had undone in a few short minutes what seemed a few hours earlier a personal, psychic, and metaphysical disaster I will forever associate with the misguided phenomenon that is urban camping. Camping should allow a person, a man, to remain a man. I descended from that noble state, away from higher order thinking, to the cusp of reptilian brain function. I will bike-camp alone again. I must or die in shame. I\u2019ve already begun pricing one-man tents. But when I camp alone again, it will be on my terms, not urban camping\u2019s.\n\nAnd it sure as hell won\u2019t be in August. I\u2019ve thought about the anxiety of that moment. Abby has diagnosed it as heat-induced paranoia. I\u2019m not sure that\u2019s a thing, but I doubt that urban camping is much of a thing. I did experience something while doing something. I\u2019ll unpack that experience over time, perhaps in Target, while munching on nuts and dried fruit, while cycling, or maybe while I\u2019m jogging at dusk along Shades Creek, drenched in sweat and sensing in the shadows the invisible gaze of woodland eyes.\n\nOne Response to \u201cPanic on Shades Creek\u201d\n\n 1.

Your brain decides whether to wake you or let you keep sleeping when sounds occur. Sudowoodo/ Shutterstcok\n\nAlthough our ears continue to work as usual, our brain acts as a filter and decides whether we should respond to the sound and wake up or continue sleeping.\n\nRead more: Curious Kids: why don't people fall out of bed when they are sleeping?\n\nIf we wake up, then we can form a memory of having heard the sound, but if we don\u2019t wake up then it\u2019s as though we didn\u2019t hear anything.\n\nThis is an extraordinary tool as it protects our sleep so we don\u2019t wake up to everything happening while we sleep.\n\nBut it also doesn\u2019t completely shut us off from the outside world which would be terrible for our survival.\n\nOur brain responds to loud sounds\n\nLouder sounds are more likely to wake us up than quieter sounds.\n\nFor example, a loud bang from someone dropping something in the middle of the night is likely to startle and wake us.\n\nBut we\u2019ll probably sleep through the sound of a mosquito quietly buzzing nearby.\n\nCurious Kids: why can't people hear in their sleep? The loud ringing of an alarm is more likely to wake up than a quiet whisper nearby. LeManna/ Shutterstock\n\nThe type of sound matters too\n\nSounds that are either unusual or important to us are also more likely to wake us.\n\nOur brain interprets unusual sounds as a threat and alerts us to that danger. This allows us to decide if we need to protect ourselves or run away if necessary.\n\nJust imagine how useful and protective this would have been for our ancestors who likely slept in the wild surrounded by dangerous predators, such as lions and tigers!\n\nRead more:", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 63934, "pt_loc": 100274687, "pt_shuffle_idx": 22811876, "doc_index_f": 35763375, "doc_index_l": 35763376, "offset_f": 3022, "offset_l": 504, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 97, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [1544, 505]} +{"pt_doc": "Food and Entertaining: How to train a blind dog.

But Neo realized that if the programs could love, peace could be brokered with the machines. In the scene above, Neo has come back to the Matrix in the form of a Trojan Horse to infect Smith so that the Source can delete him. This is what Neo negotiates with the Source. Neo realizes that he can negotiate with the Source because of the young girl Neo meets in the train station earlier in part 3. (The train station is a version of the mythical river Styx that forms the border between earth and hell).\n\nHer parents are programs, the girl was born in the Matrix [what did the prophecy say about The One being born in the Matrix? Was Neo born in the Matrix? Is Neo really the One?], which of course, means she is a program too. But there is this bridge between the program world and the \u201creal world.\u201d The girl\u2019s parents have brokered a deal to transport the girl to this \u201creal world\u201d (where she can be free) but they cannot go with her. That is part of the deal. To send her away is to lose her forever. They do this, they make this enormous personal sacrifice, because they love her.\n\nThe idea that a program could love in this profound way (agape) is the most provocative statement, and the key revelation, of the entire series. This is how the mystery of moral law, or love, is reconciled in the movie. It is not an illusion, or some evolutionary urge that arises from the division of the cell. There is something more than a simple evolutionary process going on. It is consciousness, not merely cellular life, from which the moral question is answered.\n\nSmith cannot understand, simply because he is not conscious enough to understand. And moreover, he is wrong. It is not \u201conly a human mind\u201d that can conceive of love. This is the revelation that leads Neo to the solution to ending the war. It is a revelation that has not occurred to anyone else.\n\nReflections on the Matrix PART 2\n\nBut the first mystery in the movie is the Matrix itself. If the Matrix is just a convincing simulation, how do we know that the \u201creal world\u201d is not part of this simulation? If the programs in the Matrix are as susceptible to the vagaries of perception described by Smith above (love, for example), what does that say, if anything, about the nature of reality?\n\nIn other words, what does this add to the problem presented by Hume\u2019s skepticism?\n\nNothing. We are still skeptical. That Smith is able to \u201ctranscend\u201d into the real world, that Neo has supernatural powers in the real world, is enough to lead us to reasonably conclude that the \u201creal world\u201d is also some kind of simulation, similar to the Matrix itself.\n\nThe inescapable, inevitable issue that this leads to is fundamentally a moral one: If certain knowledge of objective reality is impossible to possess, by what means are we to discern what is right and wrong? In other words, how are we to know how to live our lives?\n\nThis is what Smith cannot understand. He is a simple program, with a singular task and purpose. It is beyond his ability to conceive of the meaning and purpose of the more complex beings he is programmed to kill. He does not understand freedom, or choice.\n\n[I have to add that on the topic of freedom and choice, my personal favorite piece of writing on this is the Grand Inquisitor by Dostoevsky. Make time for it!]\n\nAnd while we may have a more intuitive understanding of the nature of this freedom and choice, we struggle with the responsibility it bears upon us. How should we live? What should we do? Moreover, in an age of skepticism and relativism where our secular understanding of all emotion (including love) is exactly as Smith has described \u2013 neurons firing in our brains, a survival habit whose purpose is like every other purpose of cellular-based organisms: reproduction \u2013 then what are we to make of agape?\n\nAre we delusional?\n\nA clue to the answer lies in the first movie. It is what Bernard Lonergan describes as a moral conversion:\n\nThere is no spoon.\n\nIt might be thought that the point of the spoon lesson merely establishes the problem that the external world is not real and that this does not hint at the solution to the moral problem of how to live.\n\nBut it does.\n\nThe lesson is that you cannot change the world unless you change yourself. It is not the spoon that bends, it is you. When you are stuck in a traffic jam, do you curse and spit, or whistle and sing? Is it possible to bend\u00a0 a traffic jam from some awful tragedy into something that is actually enjoyable?\n\nYes. You do so by changing yourself. Marcus Aurelius and the stoic philosophers stressed this: My house has burned down. Whether this is a terrible tragedy, only history can judge. For this is not the only interpretation and I am not obliged to accept it. I may be a good deal better off if I decline to do so.\n\nLikewise, Bernard Lonergan offers insight on the matter. The three conversions that Bernard Lonergan speaks of:\n\nThere is an intellectual conversion by which a person has personally met the challenges of a cognitional theory, an epistemology, a metaphysics, and a methodology.\n\nThere is a moral conversion by which a person is committed to values above mere satisfactions.\n\nAnd there is an affective conversion by which a person relies on the love of neighbor, community, and God to heal bias and prioritize values.\n\nThese are the changes that change the world. They are internal. It is us that bends, not the spoon. This is the lesson we are to learn. This is what we are to do. This is what redemption is, the conversion described above. This is the meaning behind it all: as Pope Benedict says, \u201cthe meaning of life is to love, and be loved in return.\u201d\n\nThis is not a lesson learned from logical deduction. This is not a conclusion that arises from axioms, like Euclid\u2019s Elements. Rather, it is the very axiom from which everything else arises.\n\n\u00a0Posted by at 1:39 pm\n\nSorry, the comment form is closed at this time.<|endoftext|>Don\u2019t use Wikipedia for learning about \u201cbreaking news\u201d\n\nPosted by Strainu on February 07, 2017\nWikipedia / No Comments\n\nI decided to start with the conclusion just in case you won\u2019t have the patience to read the whole article.

We\u2019ll then try to learn more from the coverage of other breaking news in the past, and I\u2019ll give you a few pointers on how to use these articles (in spite of the title).\n\nSo, what happens on Wikipedia when something noteworthy appears in the news? First, an article is created. Then, if the news is really big, such as the protests, it\u2019s added to the front page. Then on comes the usual wiki-work: interested wikipedians (along with hordes of anonymous users, with various different interests, stated or not) start to tweak, enhance and modify the news item and the article, trying to follow on the basic policies of Wikipedia: neutral point of view and verifiability.\n\nThat\u2019s the theory. In reality, the \u201cwhite, male and educated\u201d majority of wikipedians will very likely skew the initial versions of the article pretty badly towards their PoV. For instance, this version from February 2nd, contains no mention of the different positions expressed in the public meeting from January 30th, just before the laws were adopted. Also, daily edits adding the number of protesters consistently selected the largest number (sometimes ignoring the previously added sources which mentioned lower turnouts), and certain editors chose to publish unverified rumors. On the Romanian Wikipedia, one person plainly refused to add any reaction coming from the government.\n\nSurely, this must be because Romania is a small country and things are better with breaking news elsewhere? Let\u2019s look at Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 (you know, the one that went missing back in 2014 and was never found). The article saw over 500 edits in the first 8 hours after the accident went public, many more than the article about Romania. Still, one of the early versions of the article had 2 different departure times mentioned and also contained some unconfirmed speculation about the plane descending to 200 m, while another version later that day mentioned that an Austrian national was aboard this plane \u2013 later investigation found that the passport was stolen long before the flight.

We have never met before I married her today.\u201d\n\n\u201cThat is common enough. Yet, surely you must feel something about this union. You have barely spoken of it since the oaths made during the ceremony. When my heir congratulated you before all our guests, you did not acknowledge his acclaim beyond a mere polite nod.\u201d\n\nFaraj cursed the old man. Why did he keep pretending that this wedding was anything other than a declaration of war against his enemies? Why did he appear so unconcerned that those enemies would now retaliate against him, and embroil Faraj in their feud?\n\nStill, he steeled himself against showing any further weakness. He began, \u201cMy Sultan, I perceive the great honor you have bestowed upon me with this union betwixt myself and the daughter of the Crown Prince.\u201d\n\n\u201cBah! Do not dissemble. You don\u2019t have your father\u2019s skill for it. Not yet. Tell me, truthfully, what did you think of my granddaughter as you beheld her for the first today?\u201d\n\nThrough the haze of his bewilderment, Faraj recalled the image of the pale, stick-thin, elfin girl whom everyone expected him to acknowledge as his wife. She had worn gaudy jewelry, garish cosmetics, and rich robes -- extravagant wastes for such a scrawny, waif-like child, in his opinion. The weight of her finery overwhelmed her, as she had sat on a yellow, damask cushion trimmed with gold filigree apart from everyone. Her features were markedly angular and gaunt, similar to her father\u2019s in appearance, though not as sallow. If the sight of her had not stirred his revulsion for the prospect of marrying a child, he might have pitied her. Except in one instance.\n\nWhen the evening breeze had filtered in from the open-air courtyard, torchlight flared and cast its glow upon her hair, the color of burnished copper. At that moment, her sharp chin rose and her stark gaze met his, unflinching. Brilliant flecks like the embers of a fire glittered in her brown eyes. The sight took him aback for a moment. Then she looked away. Even now, his lips curled at the memory of how she had turned and ignored him, with the neglect reserved for menials.\n\nHe tamped down the abhorrence souring in his belly. \u201cForgive me, but she is merely a child of eight years. What can I, a man ten years her senior, be expected to feel regarding her?\u201d\n\nAfter a moment, the Sultan shrugged and nodded, as he had hoped. \u201cI suppose you have years, Faraj, in which you may come to know my granddaughter better. For now, she shall remain in her father\u2019s household, until she is of an age to bear you children. I rely upon her father to protect her.\u201d\n\n\u201cYour plans shall tear the Sultanate apart.\u201d\n\n\u201cYour union with Fatima shall heal the rift. Can I rely upon you?\u201d\n\nThough Faraj doubted how a union with a child might preserve the land, he kept those thoughts to himself.\n\n\u201cYou may.\u201d He held the Sultan\u2019s gaze without wavering. Not for the first time, he thought the old man burdened him unduly with inopportune vows.\n\nRaised voiced echoed beyond the closed doors of the chamber. Both the Sultan and Faraj turned toward the sound. At the sovereign\u2019s nod, two sentries stationed beside the door opened it. Faraj stood as torchlight revealed the sallow face of the Crown Prince of Gharnatah.\n\nAbu Abdullah Muhammad sneered at the guardsmen outside the chamber before he approached. He sagged on one knee before the Sultan, his dark leonine head bowed. When his father touched his shoulder, he stood unsteadily. Faraj scratched his thin beard and eyed the men steadily.\n\nA frown marred the Crown Prince\u2019s brow, aging him beyond his thirty-one years.

Then I invite you dive right in:\n\n\n\n\n\nA hot, dry hand covered Fatima's mouth, stifling the scream in her throat. She awoke to a nightmare unfolding in the darkness.\n\nThe figure in a black hood and cloak hovered in silence above her. As her eyes adjusted to the dimness of the shadowy chamber, she made out the images of three others, cloaked and hooded like the one who held her captive and quiet. Two of the intruders stood on either side of the olive wood door. Another treaded quietly toward the lattice window and shuttered it, before crossing the room and lingering beside the boy closest to the door.\n\nFatima froze, paralyzed by terror. Muhammad ibn Muhammad snored heavily, his head lolling on the silken pillow. In a deep slumber, he remained unaware of the danger they faced. The intruder bent and loomed above the boy, studying him in silence.\n\nOne thought burgeoned in Fatima\u2019s mind, mirroring the whimpering plea muffled behind her lips. \"No! Don't hurt my brother!\"\n\nShe scratched and clawed wildly at the hand pressed against her mouth. Muhammad was the eldest among six sisters and their father's heir. She could never let anyone harm him. She struggled in vain. Her captor pinched her nostrils. A choking wave of terror swelled in her throat and squeezed her chest. Her eyelids fluttered and tears coursed beneath the lashes, momentarily blinding her.\n\nOn a low table at her side, the sparrow in its gilded cage chorused a cry of alarm and beat its wings against the metal bars.\n\nThe person beside her brother stood and approached, bypassing the white marble alcoves where her younger sisters Muna, Alimah, Azahra, and Tarub slept peaceably. Only the baby Nadira, born two months before, was absent. Fatima prayed Nadira\u2019s wet-nurse would keep her safe and away from harm.\n\nEach noiseless footfall brought the intruder closer to Fatima. Her fingers relentlessly clawed at the hands that left her gasping for breath. A tightening sensation swelled inside her throat and her eyes widened. Her body went limp and her limbs grew stiff.\n\nThe silent figure knelt beside", "base_doc": " anything but unwavering loyalty from his family.\n\n\u201cWhat are your thoughts on my granddaughter, then?\u201d\n\nFaraj swallowed at the sudden change of the topic\u2019s focus and pronounced a swift reply.\n\n\u201cI hardly know her. We have never met before I married her today.\u201d\n\n\u201cThat is common enough. Yet, surely you must feel something about this union. You have barely spoken of it since the oaths made during the ceremony. When my heir congratulated you before all our guests, you did not acknowledge his acclaim beyond a mere polite nod.\u201d\n\nFaraj cursed the old man. Why did he keep pretending that this wedding was anything other than a declaration of war against his enemies? Why did he appear so unconcerned that those enemies would now retaliate against him, and embroil Faraj in their feud?\n\nStill, he steeled himself against showing any further weakness. He began, \u201cMy Sultan, I perceive the great honor you have bestowed upon me with this union betwixt myself and the daughter of the Crown Prince.\u201d\n\n\u201cBah! Do not dissemble. You don\u2019t have your father\u2019s skill for it. Not yet. Tell me, truthfully, what did you think of my granddaughter as you beheld her for the first today?\u201d\n\nThrough the haze of his bewilderment, Faraj recalled the image of the pale, stick-thin, elfin girl whom everyone expected him to acknowledge as his wife. She had worn gaudy jewelry, garish cosmetics, and rich robes -- extravagant wastes for such a scrawny, waif-like child, in his opinion. The weight of her finery overwhelmed her, as she had sat on a yellow, damask cushion trimmed with gold filigree apart from everyone. Her features were markedly angular and gaunt, similar to her father\u2019s in appearance, though not as sallow. If the sight of her had not stirred his revulsion for the prospect of marrying a child, he might have pitied her. Except in one instance.\n\nWhen the evening breeze had filtered in from the open-air courtyard, torchlight flared and cast its glow upon her hair, the color of burnished copper. At that moment, her sharp chin rose and her stark gaze met his, unflinching. Brilliant flecks like the embers of a fire glittered in her brown eyes. The sight took him aback for a moment. Then she looked away. Even now, his lips curled at the memory of how she had turned and ignored him, with the neglect reserved for menials.\n\nHe tamped down the abhorrence souring in his belly. \u201cForgive me, but she is merely a child of eight years. What can I, a man ten years her senior, be expected to feel regarding her?\u201d\n\nAfter a moment, the Sultan shrugged and nodded, as he had hoped. \u201cI suppose you have years, Faraj, in which you may come to know my granddaughter better. For now, she shall remain in her father\u2019s household, until she is of an age to bear you children. I rely upon her father to protect her.\u201d\n\n\u201cYour plans shall tear the Sultanate apart.\u201d\n\n\u201cYour union with Fatima shall heal the rift. Can I rely upon you?\u201d\n\nThough Faraj doubted how a union with a child might preserve the land, he kept those thoughts to himself.\n\n\u201cYou may.\u201d He held the Sultan\u2019s gaze without wavering. Not for the first time, he thought the old man burdened him unduly with inopportune vows.\n\nRaised voiced echoed beyond the closed doors of the chamber. Both the Sultan and Faraj turned toward the sound. At the sovereign\u2019s nod, two sentries stationed beside the door opened it. Faraj stood as torchlight revealed the sallow face of the Crown Prince of Gharnatah.\n\nAbu Abdullah Muhammad sneered at the guardsmen outside the chamber before he approached. He sagged on one knee before the Sultan, his dark leonine head bowed. When his father touched his shoulder, he stood unsteadily. Faraj scratched his thin beard and eyed the men steadily.\n\nA frown marred the Crown Prince\u2019s brow, aging him beyond his thirty-one years. His deep-set eyes, a family trait, were red-rimmed and his mouth was a grim, fixed line. He spoke in low tones with his father. When he finished the Sultan grasped his arms, as though propping him up.\n\n\u201cAre you truly surprised by this betrayal?

Could Gulag camps, or post-Gulag cities, have functioned without the expert knowledge of these prisoners and exiles? Further, what was the role of the Gulag in colonizing remote regions with members of the creative and scientific intelligentsia from the center? Finally, I want to acknowledge Ekaterina\u2019s question about the relationship between experts from the center (especially Leningrad) and those on the ground in Vorkuta. Certainly such experts played a key role in planning and building the city and camp, particularly in the area of mine construction \u2013 Lengiproshakht was an organization that featured prominently in my archival research, although I must admit my relative ignorance about how this relationship worked in practice.\n\nFinally, on the big question of \u2018camp,\u2019 \u2018town,\u2019 \u2018city,\u2019 and \u2018company town\u2019 raised by Ana Kladnik and Jeff Hardy. Why refer to both \u2018camp\u2019 and \u2018town\u2019 during the 1940s, when for all intents and purposes this was a camp complex? There are two reasons for this: first, the camp administration paid a great deal of attention and devoted significant resources to building a town that was at least nominally separate from the camp. As I\u2019ve demonstrated, such distinctions were largely academic at first. But the second reason for doing this is that I wanted to make the point that the construction and development of a city was not something that began after Stalin\u2019s death. Certainly 1953 was a huge breaking point between camp and city, but I point out, the city had already reached a number of key milestones by this point, including the fact that the non-prisoner and prisoner populations were roughly equal, and that the city already had a number of key institutions, including a Gorkom (party committee) and a newspaper.\n\nWhy a \u201ccompany town\u201d? Here I was following William Taubman\u2019s notion of the Soviet company town from his 1973 book on Soviet city governance. In particular, Taubman points out that in a number of Soviet cities that were dominated by a single enterprise, the role of the party in governance was somewhat diminished. I think that Vorkuta after 1953 clearly falls into this category. But, as Ana and Jeff point out, \u201ccompany town\u201d refers to a model from outside the socialist bloc. So perhaps \u201csocialist town\u201d would have been a better characterization. But it may not have made for such a snappy title!\n\nMore to come in later postings.

And, for every successful novelist there are 1,001 who have been published by legitimate agencies once and never again.\n\nALC said...\n\nPardon me! Exceptions not acceptions.\n\nLinda said...\n\nThe first thing that struck me about that long list of self-published authors (and the newspaper articles as well) is that the books are primarily non-fiction, not novels. It's a lot easier to sell a self-pubbed non-fiction book, particularly if you're already giving workshops as part of your business; it's much more difficult to sell a novel. I mean, if you're giving a workshop on how to build web sites, you can sell the book at the workshop and people will buy it.\n\nBut if you self-publish a thriller, how are you going to get the word out about it? Post it online and hope people stumble across it? The non-fiction books often succeed because the writers are already entrepreneurs and know how to market; many novelists don't have those skill sets at all. Consequently, the kind of marketing we see for a novel ends up being a spam to a writer's message board.\n\nAnonymous said...\n\nI'm not sure I understand what your stance is here, Victoria.

It's those expectations and misconceptions that are tapped by the Internet shills.\n\n\nThis seems like an overly broad use of the word \"fail\" (it's also the kind of argument trotted out by self-publishing boosters who want to convince writers that Commercial Publishing is Bad).

It will take an annal to tell the full story of how the book came to be.\n\nBe that as it may, it appears that a lot of discussion about the book has focused on the effort and the fact that Ben Bosah Books have not made a bundle (of cash). Let me be quite clear, the motivation for the book was more altruistic in nature, and the joys of publishing it has been 'priceless.' Many an individual have spent lots of time and a lot more mullah nursing their ikebana trees, or engaged in some other hobby, probably a lot more expensive than this foray into publishing. If you count the intangibles in the comments I get from people who feel better educated about themselves and their health (and these people include PhD graduates), testimonials from others about the fact that the book actually inspired to rethink old habits and develop better ones, parents who have used the book as a conversation starter with their daughters, et cetera, you will no doubt agree that I have done better than break even.\n\nHealth literacy costs the economy between 50-75 billion dollars every year, and that is purely money. If once in a while a book like Letters to My Sisters: Plain Truths and Straightforward Advice from a Gynecologist' praised for its simplicity and unique approach for addressing medical issues helps a few people to better understand their medical conditions, then we would have made a significant contribution to the country.\n\nIt will be interesting to maybe make a slight detour and discuss some of the issues beyond writing and publishing.

Both Ekaterina and Asif Saddiqi make reference to the key role of prisoner experts in planning, building, and running the camp and city. Asif mentions Zubchaninov, a key planning official as both a prisoner and an ex-prisoner, but there were many other such characters that I encountered during my research, including Oleg Borovskii, who built x-ray machines as a prisoner, and Vsevolod Lunev, who designed buildings and planned much of the city as an exile and former exile from the 1940s to the 1960s.

Let me be quite clear, the motivation for the book was more altruistic in nature, and the joys of publishing it has been 'priceless.' Many an individual have spent lots of time and a lot more mullah nursing their ikebana trees, or engaged in some other hobby, probably a lot more expensive than this foray into publishing. If you count the intangibles in the comments I get from people who feel better educated about themselves and their health (and these people include PhD graduates), testimonials from others about the fact that the book actually inspired to rethink old habits and develop better ones, parents who have used the book as a conversation starter with their daughters, et cetera, you will no doubt agree that I have done better than break even.\n\nHealth literacy costs the economy between 50-75 billion dollars every year, and that is purely money. If once in a while a book like Letters to My Sisters: Plain Truths and Straightforward Advice from a Gynecologist' praised for its simplicity and unique approach for addressing medical issues helps a few people to better understand their medical conditions, then we would have made a significant contribution to the country.\n\nIt will be interesting to maybe make a slight detour and discuss some of the issues beyond writing and publishing. Let us use this unique organ of blogs and blogging to spread the message of health literacy.

Are we supposed to choose home over work? And if we don't, is that even a bad thing? Are we not able to have it all?\n\nWhen I saw an interview with Emily Matchar, author of Homeward Bound: Why Women Are Embracing the New Domesticity, I was intrigued by her thoughts on the rise of lifestyle blogs, DIY culture, and whether or not women have to choose between work and home. I immediately purchased her book.\n\nMatchar discusses why lifestyle blogs and mom blogs have become so popular\u2014the fantasy of having a perfect family, the poor job market, the lack of maternity benefits, and an increased disillusionment with the workplace. Blogs have become an outlet for both the bloggers and the readers. Bloggers can potentially earn an income and stay at home with their families, while readers get to peak into lives that differ from their own. These blogs romanticize domestic life\u2014young women giving up their jobs and hectic lives in favor of simpler lives filled with canning fruits, farming, and homeschooling children.

She informs us, with simple yet effective prose, of political and social ramifications that go hand in hand with this heightened individualism. By leaving the workforce, are some women disregarding the effort women before us put into making sure we have opportunities to work? What about the women who cannot afford to stay at home?\u00a0How can we make the workplace friendlier to mothers if we reject the idea of the working mom?\n\nI appreciate what Matchar does in this book\u2014she doesn't praise one type of mother over the other and she creates an open discussion about the trials\u00a0women face in today's society and offers practical solutions like incorporating men in the home, instigating social change, and letting go of trying to be perfect mothers.\n\nSo...can women really have it all? \u00a0Matchar doesn't explicitly answer this question, but her social commentary ends on a positive note\u2014with social change, acceptance of different lifestyles, and a little balance, women can definitely have it all.\n\nIf you have read Homeward Bound: Why Women Are Embracing the New Domesticity, what did you think of it?

As a former Catholic who now believes the Roman Catholic Church gravely errs in her teachings, I have plenty of questions I would like to ask Catholics\u2026.not about what the Church teaches but about how they reconcile it with God\u2019s Word and/or how they would defend it.\n\nI suspect that many Catholics never really think about the rationale or validity of much of what they have been taught but just accept it without question because they choose to submit\u00a0to the most fundamental of Church doctrines\u2026her authority. But I would think that before entrusting your eternal destiny to another human being you would want pretty definitive evidence that he, or she, genuinely has that authority. So if the Catholic Church claims to speak for God so that one\u2019s eternal destination depends on obeying her, one would be wise to be well-persuaded of the truth of that claim. And for consequences as monumental as the difference between Heaven and Hell, the evidence should be persuasive enough to lead most followers of Christ to that conclusion. And that\u2019s simply not what we have, a point that I have argued here, here, here,\u00a0and here.\n\nIf a Catholic is willing to honestly examine what he professes to ascribe to, he may find that his trust in the Church\u2019s authority is not as well-placed as he was led to believe. Perhaps her interpretation of the evidence leading to her claims of superiority is true, but if it can be shown that much of what proceeds from those claims is false, nonsensical, or at least questionable in its veracity, shouldn\u2019t her asserted authority be questionable as well?\n\nSo I am beginning a new series of posts I\u2019m titling, Catholic Questions, and inviting all Catholics to answer the questions I have, prompted by listening to professional Catholic apologists defend their faith. And the first is the one I began this post with.\n\nI will respectfully engage any commenter who has an answer for me, with a view to greater mutual understanding, not to prove myself right. I know that debates about truth in Christianity can get heated but that seldom accomplishes anything positive for either side. So I intend to facilitate an honest, open, and cordial dialogue and pray that it bears some healthy fruit.\n\nThat said now, this first question proceeds from Catholic teaching on salvation which says that though good works are required to merit Heaven, it\u2019s not salvation by faith plus works because it is God who gives us the grace to do the good works. We just need to \u201ccooperate\u201d with his grace. But if the decision is ours to cooperate or not cooperate, how is that different from choosing to do good or not apart from his grace? How is that not salvation by works?<|endoftext|>Posts filtered on Category\n\nCategory: General\n\nVideo: Champ of the stairway fetch\n\nThis dog should be entered in the Canine Olympics Downhill.\n\nCount the number of balls in this dog\u2019s mouth\n\nThere are three.\n\nBest Puppy Bowl commercial\n\nSuper Bowl XLIV commericials were rather boring.

Do I turn 428 \ninto a 400, turn 2 into 20, and the eight is in the ones place.

So I'd probably do the first one this way:\n\n 428 + 219 = about 430 + 220\n\n = 400 + 200 + 30 + 20\n\n = 650\n\nNow, suppose that I had this instead:\n\n 428 + 277 = ?\n\nIn this case, I'd be thinking about 25 and 75, instead of 30 and 20. \nSo I'd estimate the first number a little differently:\n\n 428 + 219 = about 425 + 275\n\n = 400 + 200 + 25 + 75\n\n = 600 + 100\n\n = 700\n\nThis is kind of interesting. In each case, I started with the same \nnumber, 428, but in one case I estimated it as 430, while in the other \ncase I estimated it as 425. \n\nTo understand why, it's important to keep in mind what the _point_ of \nthis kind of estimation is: it's to reduce the amount of work we have \nto do. So when I'm thinking about using estimation to help me add two \nnumbers, usually what I'm doing is comparing them to pairs of numbers \nthat I can add easily: 30 and 20, 25 and 75, and so on. That's what \ntells me whether to estimate up or down. \n\nDoes that make sense? \n\nWith that in mind, how would you estimate your second addition?", "base_doc": "'s markets to homeschooling to making their own ketchup.

Fixed-effect and random-effect models were used to calculate pooled ORs. The statistical significance of the pooled ORs was determined using the Z-test, and P\u2009<\u20090.05 was considered statistically significant. The assumption of heterogeneity was evaluated by applying a chi-squared-based Q-test among the studies. In this approach, the Q value is defined to be identical to the effect size of the chi-squared test. P\u2009>\u20090.10 for the Q-test indicates a lack of heterogeneity and suggests that variability in effect sizes is larger than that expected from chance alone [16]. In these cases, the fixed-effect model was used to calculate a pooled OR for each study. Otherwise, the random-effect model was used to calculate pooled ORs. HWE in the control group was assessed using the asymptotic test, with P\u2009<\u20090.05 considered significant. Small-study bias was assessed by Harbord\u2019s modified test [17]. As much as possible, the meta-analyis was carried out according to the PRISMA guidelines [18].\n\n\nDescription of studies\n\nA total of 115 potentially relevant publications published through January 31, 2013 were systematically identified in the PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. Of these, we excluded 32 studies based on review of the titles and abstracts because they did not focus on the association of mEH polymorphism and ovarian cancer risk, or they did not include a control group (n\u2009=\u20095). In the end, only five studies [1115] involving 2,566 cases and 2,839 controls were found to satisfy the inclusion criteria and included in the meta-analysis (Figure\u00a01). Detailed characteristics of the five studies are listed in Table\u00a01. Participants in four studies [11, 12, 14, 15] were Caucasian, while those in the remaining study [13] were Chinese. Genotype distribution in controls did not show HWE in two studies [12, 13].

After excluding the PCR-RFLP study [14], meta-analysis showed that risk of ovarian cancer tended to be higher in the presence of the C allele according to allelic contrast (OR\u2009=\u20091.09, 95% CI 1.00-1.18, P\u2009=\u20090.06).

Fixed-effect and random-effect models were used to calculate pooled ORs. The statistical significance of the pooled ORs was determined using the Z-test, and P\u2009<\u20090.05 was considered statistically significant. The assumption of heterogeneity was evaluated by applying a chi-squared-based Q-test among the studies. In this approach, the Q value is defined to be identical to the effect size of the chi-squared test. P\u2009>\u20090.10 for the Q-test indicates a lack of heterogeneity and suggests that variability in effect sizes is larger than that expected from chance alone [16]. In these cases, the fixed-effect model was used to calculate a pooled OR for each study. Otherwise, the random-effect model was used to calculate pooled ORs. HWE in the control group was assessed using the asymptotic test, with P\u2009<\u20090.05 considered significant. Small-study bias was assessed by Harbord\u2019s modified test [17].

Of these, we excluded 32 studies based on review of the titles and abstracts because they did not focus on the association of mEH polymorphism and ovarian cancer risk, or they did not include a control group (n\u2009=\u20095). In the end, only five studies [1115] involving 2,566 cases and 2,839 controls were found to satisfy the inclusion criteria and included in the meta-analysis (Figure\u00a01). Detailed characteristics of the five studies are listed in Table\u00a01. Participants in four studies [11, 12, 14, 15] were Caucasian, while those in the remaining study [13] were Chinese.

The area around Lyon\u2019s Part Dieu high speed rail station now hosts 5.3 million square feet of office space and around 20,000 jobs. Similar patterns have been observed in Japan, where high speed rail has seen a dispersal of investment and economic activity from the main \u2018developed region\u2019 towards the periphery. And in Spain, a number of towns and cities have benefited from improved links to the capital \u2013 for example, Lleida, whose high speed rail links have helped to attract investment from Microsoft and other high-tech companies.\"\n\n3.6 The Government\u2019s main statement on its approach to rebalancing the economy spatially is its White Paper Local Growth (HMG, 2010b). This document refers to rail only once as a means of encouraging local growth and this reference is to Crossrail, although there are some generic references to the importance of transport investments. Similarly the accompanying technical paper makes no reference at all to the role of rail (and only two references to transport) as a source of local growth, and here the focus is on the importance of intra-urban transport systems in underpinning agglomeration economies rather than addressing inter-regional imbalances (BIS, 2010).\n\n3.7 In summary, the current government is presenting high speed rail as a crucial policy instrument that will help address regional inequalities and boost the UK economy. The government also claims that total economic and social benefits will be significantly larger than the subsidy they will require, which will guarantee a positive rate of return in these terms. However as we will discuss next, based on theoretical and empirical arguments, these predictions about the impact of HSR on regional inequalities are founded on assumptions that are difficult to sustain.\n\n4 High speed rail and regional development\n\n4.1 The \"new economic geography\" (NEG) (Krugman, 1993) seeks to explain the persistence of regional disparities assigning a critical role to the productivity advantages accruing from the agglomeration of economic activity in major cities which are able to attract firms and workers. NEG is a globally influential theoretical framework for understanding the economic processes that produce regional inequalities. It is worth paying particular attention to, because this theoretical framework figured prominently in the technical paper which accompanied the current UK Government\u2019s white paper on Local Growth, which set out its approach to rebalancing the UK economy spatially (HMG, 2010b, BIS, 2010). According to NEG the location of each individual business is the result of a trade-off between transportation costs and increasing returns to scale. The latter suggests that the marginal cost of production decreases as total production increases. In other words, once a firm invests in the necessary physical and human infrastructure the more it produces the cheaper the cost of each individual good or service. Therefore the firm has an incentive to locate its activities in the same place, even if that implies transporting some of its output. Naturally the benefits of increasing returns to scale disappear once transportation costs exceed its benefits.\n\n4.2 This is an important principle but it still does not explain why firms tend to locate in cities, where land and labour are more expensive, instead of locating in isolated or rural areas. The emergence of cities is the product of localisation and/or agglomeration economies. Both are based on the same three principles, but the former explains the concentration of firms in specialised clusters, whereas the latter explains their presence in cities with a diversified economy. The three principles are: scale economies in intermediate outputs, labour market pooling, and knowledge spillovers. These principles are mutually reinforcing and therefore they lead to exponential gains in productivity and competitiveness. The combination between the benefits of agglomeration and the principles underlying the location of businesses explains the pull effect exerted by core cities. This pull effect has remained strong (and according to some authors has even increased) despite the proliferation of information and communication technologies and an overall decrease in transportation costs. It explains why cities such as London and the South East region of England continue to prosper and diverge from the rest of the country, despite higher land and property prices (plus other costs, such as increasing commuting times or pollution).\n\n4.3 Much of the NEG literature surveyed for this report does not focus specifically on high speed rail but its conclusions are nonetheless relevant. A recent paper by Lafourcade and Thisse (2008) for example develops the theoretical elements in NEG theory concerning the mobility of capital and labour, increasing returns to scale and transport costs to understand the potential impact of infrastructure investment. The authors argue that lower transport costs are likely to benefit core regions to the detriment of poorer ones. The positive externalities generated by agglomeration economies are mutually reinforcing and therefore the more productive cities or regions are likely to provide a more competitive business environment. As a result, when firms located in the core city compete with those located in peripheral ones the former have a comparative advantage. This is particularly the case for isolated areas, which are the most likely to suffer from transport improvements, even if this assumption is counterintuitive.\n\n4.4 There is nevertheless an assumption that the impact of transport costs on the regional economies follows a bell curve i.e. after a first period, when a fall in transportation costs leads to concentration of economic activity in the major agglomerations, lower transportation costs are likely to facilitate a redistribution of economic activity towards the periphery, particularly of manufacturing activities. This would however imply that transportation costs became almost negligible.\n\n4.5 A similar argument is developed by Puga (2002) who has drawn on these insights to examine the trends in regional inequalities and regional disparities in the EU who notes that:\n\n\"A better connection between two regions with different development levels not only gives a less developed region better access to the inputs and markets of more developed regions. It also makes it easier for firms in richer regions to supply poorer regions at a distance, and can thus harm the industrialisation prospects of less developed areas. New economic geography models not only point out this potential ambiguity of lower transport costs on less developed regions, they also tells us that the overall effects depends not just on the characteristics of the projects, but also on certain aspects of the economic environment. For instance, if there is little interregional migration, and if wages do not vary much between regions \u2013 even when regions differ widely in their attractiveness to firms \u2013 then investment in infrastructure can do little to help poorer regions catch up, and may even widen their lag with respect to richer regions\" (2002)\n\n4.6 Puga (2002) suggests that the main (potential) impact of high speed rail is on the location of business services and headquarters suggesting that an increased ability of business service providers and headquarters\u2019 operation to serve remote locations leads to a further concentration of these activities in fewer, larger cities. One effect of this can be to raise costs in those cities which make them less attractive to manufacturing firms. This accelerates the shift in economic geography from a specialisation by sector to a specialisation by function. Puga provides evidence of this shift in US and of the emergence of this trend in France, where the construction of the Lyon-Paris TGV led to the relocation of headquarters activities from Lyon to Paris in contradiction to the claims made in the DfT consultation document (DfT 2011; see section 2 above). DfT claims that the development of a new office complex adjacent to the Part-Dieu station in Lyon points to the positive effects of HSR, but this statement does not address the net impacts on growth and employment. The balance of evidence assessed here and below in section 3.2 points to a negative net impacts for Lyon. De Reus therefore concludes:\n\n\"New economic geography models not only point out this potential ambiguity in the impact of lower transport costs on less developed regions, they also tell us that the overall effect depends on certain aspects of the economic environment (such as mobility and wage rigidities) and on the characteristics of the projects. On this respect, the Trans-European Transport Network will give much of the EU better access to the main activity centres. However, the gap in relative accessibility between core and peripheral areas is likely to increase as a result of the new infrastructure, which reinforces the position of core regions as transport hubs. The emphasis on high speed rail links is also likely to favour the main nodes of the network, and is unlikely to promote the development of new activity centres in minor nodes or in locations in between nodes\" (2008: 14).\n\n4.7 Puga distinguishes between different types of rail investment, for instance between those that facilitate trade between regions and those that facilitate trade within regions (see also Martin and Rogers, 1995). He concludes that while improvements in the former may harm rather than help peripheral regions, improvements in local infrastructure appear to have no negative impacts. Similarly hub-and-spoke type high speed rail systems appear to produce particular effects. Multiple spokes connected to a single hub tend \"to promote agglomeration in the hub of the network, as firms located there face lower transport costs to spoke locations than firms in one spoke to another.

The latter suggests that the marginal cost of production decreases as total production increases. In other words, once a firm invests in the necessary physical and human infrastructure the more it produces the cheaper the cost of each individual good or service. Therefore the firm has an incentive to locate its activities in the same place, even if that implies transporting some of its output. Naturally the benefits of increasing returns to scale disappear once transportation costs exceed its benefits.\n\n4.2 This is an important principle but it still does not explain why firms tend to locate in cities, where land and labour are more expensive, instead of locating in isolated or rural areas. The emergence of cities is the product of localisation and/or agglomeration economies. Both are based on the same three principles, but the former explains the concentration of firms in specialised clusters, whereas the latter explains their presence in cities with a diversified economy. The three principles are: scale economies in intermediate outputs, labour market pooling, and knowledge spillovers. These principles are mutually reinforcing and therefore they lead to exponential gains in productivity and competitiveness. The combination between the benefits of agglomeration and the principles underlying the location of businesses explains the pull effect exerted by core cities. This pull effect has remained strong (and according to some authors has even increased) despite the proliferation of information and communication technologies and an overall decrease in transportation costs. It explains why cities such as London and the South East region of England continue to prosper and diverge from the rest of the country, despite higher land and property prices (plus other costs, such as increasing commuting times or pollution).\n\n4.3 Much of the NEG literature surveyed for this report does not focus specifically on high speed rail but its conclusions are nonetheless relevant. A recent paper by Lafourcade and Thisse (2008) for example develops the theoretical elements in NEG theory concerning the mobility of capital and labour, increasing returns to scale and transport costs to understand the potential impact of infrastructure investment. The authors argue that lower transport costs are likely to benefit core regions to the detriment of poorer ones. The positive externalities generated by agglomeration economies are mutually reinforcing and therefore the more productive cities or regions are likely to provide a more competitive business environment. As a result, when firms located in the core city compete with those located in peripheral ones the former have a comparative advantage. This is particularly the case for isolated areas, which are the most likely to suffer from transport improvements, even if this assumption is counterintuitive.\n\n4.4 There is nevertheless an assumption that the impact of transport costs on the regional economies follows a bell curve i.e. after a first period, when a fall in transportation costs leads to concentration of economic activity in the major agglomerations, lower transportation costs are likely to facilitate a redistribution of economic activity towards the periphery, particularly of manufacturing activities. This would however imply that transportation costs became almost negligible.\n\n4.5 A similar argument is developed by Puga (2002) who has drawn on these insights to examine the trends in regional inequalities and regional disparities in the EU who notes that:\n\n\"A better connection between two regions with different development levels not only gives a less developed region better access to the inputs and markets of more developed regions. It also makes it easier for firms in richer regions to supply poorer regions at a distance, and can thus harm the industrialisation prospects of less developed areas. New economic geography models not only point out this potential ambiguity of lower transport costs on less developed regions, they also tells us that the overall effects depends not just on the characteristics of the projects, but also on certain aspects of the economic environment. For instance, if there is little interregional migration, and if wages do not vary much between regions \u2013 even when regions differ widely in their attractiveness to firms \u2013 then investment in infrastructure can do little to help poorer regions catch up, and may even widen their lag with respect to richer regions\" (2002)\n\n4.6 Puga (2002) suggests that the main (potential) impact of high speed rail is on the location of business services and headquarters suggesting that an increased ability of business service providers and headquarters\u2019 operation to serve remote locations leads to a further concentration of these activities in fewer, larger cities. One effect of this can be to raise costs in those cities which make them less attractive to manufacturing firms. This accelerates the shift in economic geography from a specialisation by sector to a specialisation by function. Puga provides evidence of this shift in US and of the emergence of this trend in France, where the construction of the Lyon-Paris TGV led to the relocation of headquarters activities from Lyon to Paris in contradiction to the claims made in the DfT consultation document (DfT 2011; see section 2 above). DfT claims that the development of a new office complex adjacent to the Part-Dieu station in Lyon points to the positive effects of HSR, but this statement does not address the net impacts on growth and employment. The balance of evidence assessed here and below in section 3.2 points to a negative net impacts for Lyon. De Reus therefore concludes:\n\n\"New economic geography models not only point out this potential ambiguity in the impact of lower transport costs on less developed regions, they also tell us that the overall effect depends on certain aspects of the economic environment (such as mobility and wage rigidities) and on the characteristics of the projects. On this respect, the Trans-European Transport Network will give much of the EU better access to the main activity centres. However, the gap in relative accessibility between core and peripheral areas is likely to increase as a result of the new infrastructure, which reinforces the position of core regions as transport hubs. The emphasis on high speed rail links is also likely to favour the main nodes of the network, and is unlikely to promote the development of new activity centres in minor nodes or in locations in between nodes\" (2008: 14).\n\n4.7 Puga distinguishes between different types of rail investment, for instance between those that facilitate trade between regions and those that facilitate trade within regions (see also Martin and Rogers, 1995). He concludes that while improvements in the former may harm rather than help peripheral regions, improvements in local infrastructure appear to have no negative impacts. Similarly hub-and-spoke type high speed rail systems appear to produce particular effects. Multiple spokes connected to a single hub tend \"to promote agglomeration in the hub of the network, as firms located there face lower transport costs to spoke locations than firms in one spoke to another. Furthermore, they also tend to trigger disparities between spoke regions\" (Puga, 2002: 397; see also Puga and Venables, 1997", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 77022, "pt_loc": 206043481, "pt_shuffle_idx": 157256333, "doc_index_f": 246499782, "doc_index_l": 246499782, "offset_f": 1968, "offset_l": 4016, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 27, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": " After a 4 am call, I know that I would.\n\n You are far more tolerant than I am about having my sleep interrupted for something less than the house being on fire.\n\n 2. hi con\u2026isn\u2019t it a little hard to visualize me as anything but vibrantly tolerant?\n\n alcohol and poor sense make for a bad mix.

I told the students that they were to write down the definition and the original sentence that used the word, and that they needed to create a new sentence using the word. Finally, I gave each group four small pieces of paper that matched the color of their template, which they used for synonyms.\n\nAfter that, I simply walked around the room and listened to the students work and talk to each other. Once they finished, I taped their word and synonyms onto the door.\n\nThe Diction Door Templates\n\nThe Diction Door Templates\n\nBut not all went as planned\u2026in a good way\n\nI\u2019ll admit, I was a little stressed out about it during 1st period. Originally, I thought that it would take the students about 10-15 minutes. I was wrong. Like, WAY wrong. It ended up taking the entire class period, which surprised because I expected the students to just look up the word and then write down the definition. Instead, they looked up the word, didn\u2019t understand the definition, looked up more words in the definition, and then rephrased the original definition so that it made sense to them!\n\nThe Diction Door also provided many teachable moments that I hadn\u2019t originally anticipated. For example, one group of students realized that the word \u201cdeliberate\u201d could be an adjective or a verb. Then they had to decide if it was being used as an adjective or a verb in the passage. Not only did this help them understand the word, but it also helped them understand the difference between verbs and adjectives!\n\nWith the word \u201cWomanize,\u201d the students found the dictionary.com synonyms first. They used words and phrases like \u201cflirt,\u201d \u201cfool around,\u201d \u201cstud,\u201d and \u201cladies man\u201d as their synonyms. I explained that these words were too positive, and that womanizing isn\u2019t a good thing. I told them that \u201cobjectify\u201d would be a good synonym for womanize, but I couldn\u2019t think of any others and the students were struggling to find appropriate synonyms online. I sent them across the hall to ask their social studies teacher. He started rattling off words like \u201cchauvinistic\u201d and \u201csexist.\u201d Perhaps the feminist side of me kicked in during this exchange, but I\u2019m totally okay with that.\n\nOriginally, I just wanted to have a Diction Door because I didn\u2019t think I would have enough space for a word wall, but I actually ran out of space on the door. I had to extend it a bit and now the word wall is covering a white board that I don\u2019t use very often. I made a sign for the word wall, and I still have a sign for the diction door up, but I decided to make a poster to maintain the diction door theme.

Check out these two posts: Wading into Word Walls and Deliberate Diction Unlocks the Door to Success!\n\nWading into Word\u00a0Walls\n\nI have an announcement to make: I\u2019ve decided to make a word wall in my classroom.\n\nTo some, this may not seem like a big deal or like a difficult task, but for me, this is a new, scary, unpredictable adventure. I\u2019ve always been intimidated by word walls; mostly because I\u2019ve never really understood their role in the classroom. I do know that they are considered a best practice, and I know that when used properly, word walls can have a major impact on students\u2019 vocabulary.\n\nBut I\u2019m still intimidated.\n\nI decided to bite the bullet and implement a word wall the other day when my students were struggling through the first four pages of Blood and Thunder by Hampton Sides. With words like caromed, bantam, bumpkin, terrestrial, fastidious, and cadence, I realized that I can\u2019t possibly expect my students to use context clues for every difficult word. Plus, in an effort to create a more student-centered classroom (and to not spend an entire day on vocabulary), I figured a word wall would be the most effective way to tackle the difficult vocabulary in the excerpt over an extended period of time.\n\nNow, the question is, how does one use a word wall?\n\nQuestions to Consider\u2026\n\nWhere will I put it? I don\u2019t have a lot of free space on my walls. Plus, since my walls are concrete, the only way to hang something is by hot gluing it to the wall (tape doesn\u2019t work on the paint on my walls for some reason). I do have a closet door at the front of the room\u2026perhaps I\u2019ll have a Diction Door instead!\n\nI know that I want the students to select the words to go on the wall, and I know that I want them to look up the definition for the word, write an original sentence or two using the new word, and list synonyms for the word. I\u2019ll need some sort of template for the students to use.\n\nI also know this is something I will leave up for all of my classes, so I need to develop a system where each class will contribute different words to the wall. But how should I organize it? Should the words be in alphabetical order? Or should they just go up in a random order?\n\nThe perfectionist side of me is kicking in too. I want everything to be uniform, so I want all of the words to be typed, using the same size font. I know I want the definitions to be typed too, but getting the students to type and add the definitions to the wall will take away from the seamlessness of the strategy\u2026so what\u2019s more important? A messy, student-driven word wall, or a neat, teacher driven-word wall?\n\n\u2026Learning is messy. I suppose an organic word wall is a messy word wall.\n\nThe Plan\n\nI\u2019ll cut out a bunch of multi-colored strips of paper. The students will use these strips of paper for the words and definitions. I\u2019ll also cut out smaller pieces of paper for synonyms. These will surround the original word. I\u2019ll give each group a few markers so the words are easy to see from the back of the classroom.\n\nSince I already sorted the students into mixed-ability literature circles, I\u2019ll just have each literature circle select one word from the text to add to the wall. Then, as a group, they will find the definition, write a new sentence using that word, and find as many synonyms as possible. They will write these things down on the strips of paper, and then I will tape them up on the sheet of butcher paper taped to the door at the front of the classroom (A.K.A. Diction Door!) Each class will add new words, but they can also add synonyms to existing words.\n\nThe whole thing should only take about ten minutes per class", "base_doc": " word, I passed out the Diction Door Templates (one of each color per class), a black Crayola marker, and a pair of scissors. I told the students that they were to write down the definition and the original sentence that used the word, and that they needed to create a new sentence using the word. Finally, I gave each group four small pieces of paper that matched the color of their template, which they used for synonyms.\n\nAfter that, I simply walked around the room and listened to the students work and talk to each other. Once they finished, I taped their word and synonyms onto the door.\n\nThe Diction Door Templates\n\nThe Diction Door Templates\n\nBut not all went as planned\u2026in a good way\n\nI\u2019ll admit, I was a little stressed out about it during 1st period. Originally, I thought that it would take the students about 10-15 minutes. I was wrong. Like, WAY wrong. It ended up taking the entire class period, which surprised because I expected the students to just look up the word and then write down the definition. Instead, they looked up the word, didn\u2019t understand the definition, looked up more words in the definition, and then rephrased the original definition so that it made sense to them!\n\nThe Diction Door also provided many teachable moments that I hadn\u2019t originally anticipated. For example, one group of students realized that the word \u201cdeliberate\u201d could be an adjective or a verb. Then they had to decide if it was being used as an adjective or a verb in the passage. Not only did this help them understand the word, but it also helped them understand the difference between verbs and adjectives!\n\nWith the word \u201cWomanize,\u201d the students found the dictionary.com synonyms first. They used words and phrases like \u201cflirt,\u201d \u201cfool around,\u201d \u201cstud,\u201d and \u201cladies man\u201d as their synonyms. I explained that these words were too positive, and that womanizing isn\u2019t a good thing. I told them that \u201cobjectify\u201d would be a good synonym for womanize, but I couldn\u2019t think of any others and the students were struggling to find appropriate synonyms online. I sent them across the hall to ask their social studies teacher. He started rattling off words like \u201cchauvinistic\u201d and \u201csexist.\u201d Perhaps the feminist side of me kicked in during this exchange, but I\u2019m totally okay with that.\n\nOriginally, I just wanted to have a Diction Door because I didn\u2019t think I would have enough space for a word wall, but I actually ran out of space on the door. I had to extend it a bit and now the word wall is covering a white board that I don\u2019t use very often. I made a sign for the word wall, and I still have a sign for the diction door up, but I decided to make a poster to maintain the diction door theme. It says: Deliberate diction unlocks the door to success! We navigate our whole lives using words. Change and improve the words and I believe we can change and improve life.\n\nDeliberate diction unlocks the door to success: We navigate our whole lives using words.

TomTom seems to be winning out all around - back in May they announced a partnership with RIM and their plans to bring new mapping features to the BlackBerry 10 platform. iOS 6 is only available to developers as a beta until the fall, so it will be interesting to see which mapping application wins out when both officially release later this year.

No?\n\nWith TOM TOM also partnering with Apple, we all know that they will be generating most of their revenue from iOS devices and not BB10. Let's just hope RIM signed a contract with them so they don't decide to dump us and focus their efforts on Apple products.\n\nMaybe now Google might reconsider supporting BB10 as they've just lost out with Apple dumping them.\n\nI've got to hand it to you guys, you're loyal. Everyone else has left RIM and Blackberry for dead, but you guys REFUSE to do it. I left the Blackberry world about two years ago - and I've never looked back.

It was hard work, but it was just sort of blessed right down the line,\" says director Ron Howard, speaking recently at a roundtable interview in Los Angeles in anticipation of the IMAX rerelease of his 1995 film Apollo 13. \"I almost like to think that it\u00bfs the karma of the Apollo 13 crew &#Array; their story was kind of swept under the carpet, and in fact it was such a noble triumph.

Nevertheless, three principal types exist: (1) regionally extensive, crystalline nodular, and bedded phosphorites, (2) localized concentrations of phosphate-rich clastic deposits (bone beds), and (3) guano deposits.\n\nEvaporites (evaporite)\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Evaporites are layered crystalline sedimentary rocks that form from brines generated in areas where the amount of water lost by evaporation (vaporization) exceeds the total amount of water from rainfall and influx via rivers and streams. The mineralogy of evaporite rocks is complex, with almost 100 varieties possible, but less than a dozen species are volumetrically important. Minerals in evaporite rocks include carbonates (especially calcite, dolomite, magnesite, and aragonite), sulfates (anhydrite and gypsum), and chlorides (particularly halite, sylvite, and carnallite), as well as various borates, silicates, nitrates, and sulfocarbonates. Evaporite deposits occur in both marine and nonmarine sedimentary successions.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Though restricted in area, modern evaporites contribute to genetic models for explaining ancient evaporite deposits. Modern evaporites are limited to arid regions (those of high temperature and low rates of precipitation), for example, on the floors of semidry ephemeral playa lakes in the Great Basin of Nevada and California, across the coastal salt flats (sabkhas) of the Middle East, and in salt pans, estuaries, and lagoons around the Gulf of Suez. Ancient evaporates occur widely in the Phanerozoic geologic record, particularly in those of Cambrian (from 570 to 505 million years ago), Permian (from 286 to 245 million years ago), and Triassic (from 245 to 208 million years ago) age, but are rare in sedimentary sequences of Precambrian age. They tend to be closely associated with shallow marine shelf carbonates and fine (typically rich in iron oxide) mudrocks. Because evaporite sedimentation requires a specific climate and basin setting, their presence in time and space clearly constrains inferences of paleoclimatology and paleogeography. Evaporite beds tend to concentrate and facilitate major thrust fault horizons, so their presence is of particular interest to structural geologists. Evaporites also have economic significance as a source of salts and fertilizer.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0All evaporite deposits result from the precipitation of brines (brine) generated by evaporation. Laboratory experiments can accurately trace the evolution of brines as various evaporite minerals crystallize. Normal seawater has a salinity of 3.5 percent (or 35,000 parts per million), with the most important dissolved constituents being sodium and chlorine. When seawater volume is reduced to one-fifth of the original, evaporite precipitation commences in an orderly fashion, with the more insoluble components (gypsum and anhydrite) forming first. When the solution reaches one-tenth the volume of the original, more soluble minerals like sylvite and halite form. Natural evaporite sequences show vertical changes in mineralogy that crudely correspond to the orderly appearance of mineralogy as a function of solubility but are less systematic.\n\nNonmarine environment\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Evaporite deposition in the nonmarine environment occurs in closed lakes\u2014i.e., those without outlet\u2014in arid and semiarid regions. Such lakes form in closed interior basins or shallow depressions on land where drainage is internal and runoff does not reach the sea. If water depths are shallow or, more typically, somewhat ephemeral, the term playa or playa lake is commonly used.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Water inflow into closed lakes consists principally of precipitation and surface runoff, both of which are small in amount and variable in occurrence in arid regions. Groundwater flow and discharge from springs may provide additional water input, but evaporation rates are always in excess of precipitation and surface runoff. Sporadic or seasonal storms may give rise to a sudden surge of water inflow. Because closed lakes lack outlets, they can respond to such circumstances only by deepening and expanding. Subsequent evaporation will reduce the volume of water present to prestorm or normal amount; fluctuation of closed lake levels therefore characterizes the environment.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Such changing lake levels and water volumes lead to fluctuating salinity values. Variations in salinity effect equilibrium relations between the resulting brines and lead to much solution and subsequent reprecipitation of evaporites in the nonmarine environment. As a result of these complexities as well as the distinctive nature of dissolved constituents in closed lake settings, nonmarine evaporite deposits contain many minerals that are uncommon in marine evaporites\u2014e.g., borax, epsomite, trona, and mirabilite.\n\nShallow marine environment\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Evaporite deposition in the shallow marine environment (sometimes termed the salina (alkali flat)) occurs in desert coastal areas, particularly along the margins of such semi-restricted water bodies as the Red Sea, Persian Gulf, and Gulf of California. Restriction is, in general, one of the critical requirements for evaporite deposition, because free and unlimited mixing with the open sea would allow the bodies of water to easily overcome the high evaporation rates of arid areas and dilute these waters to near-normal salinity. This semi-restriction cannot, in fact, prevent a large amount of dilution by mixing; coastal physiography is the principal factor involved in brine production. Shallow-water evaporites, almost exclusively gypsum, anhydrite, and halite, typically interfinger with tidal flat limestone and dolomite and fine-grained mudrock.\n\nDeep-basin environment\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Most of the thick, laterally extensive evaporite deposits appear to have been produced in deep, isolated basins that developed during episodes of global aridity. The most crucial requirement for evaporite production is aridity; water must be evaporated more rapidly than it can be replenished by precipitation and inflow. In addition, the evaporite basin must somehow be isolated or at least partially isolated from the open ocean so that brines produced through evaporation are prevented from returning there. Restricting brines to such an isolated basin over a period of time enables them to be concentrated to the point where evaporite mineral precipitation occurs. Periodic breaching of the barrier, due either to crustal downwarping or to global sea-level changes, refills the basin from time to time, thereby replenishing the volume of seawater to be evaporated and making possible the inordinately thick, regionally extensive evaporite sequences visible in the geologic record.\n\n\u00a0Debate continues over the exact mechanisms for generating thick evaporite deposits. Three possible models for restricting \u201cbarred\u201d evaporite basins are shown in Figure 5\u2014>. They differ in detail, and none has garnered a consensus of support. The deep-water, deep-basin model accounts for replenishment of the basin across the barrier or sill, with slow, continual buildup of thick evaporites made possible by the seaward escape of brine that allows a constant brine concentration to be maintained. The shallow-water, shallow-basin model produces thick evaporites by continual subsidence of the basin floor. The shallow-water, deep-basin model shows the brine level in the basin beneath the level of the sea as a result of evaporation; brines are replenished by groundwater recharge from the open ocean.\n\nIron-rich (iron) sedimentary rocks\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Almost all sedimentary rocks are iron-bearing in the sense that mudrocks, sandstones, and carbonates typically have an iron content of several percent. Nevertheless, sedimentary rocks in which the proportion of iron exceeds 15 percent are separately categorized as iron-rich. Two major types of iron-rich sedimentary rocks are recognized: (1) iron formation, or banded iron formation (BIF (banded-iron formation))\u2014regionally extensive, locally thick sequences composed of alternating thin (millimetre to centimetre thick) layers of mainly crystalline-textured iron-rich minerals and chert\u2014and (2) ironstone\u2014noncherty, essentially clastic-textured, iron-rich minerals of local extent.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Banded iron formations are predominantly Precambrian in age; most are 1.8 to 2.2 billion years old; none are younger than Cambrian age. The most important iron-bearing minerals in iron formations are hematite, magnetite, and greenalite. These deposits constitute the world's major source of iron ore. Classic examples are found in the Mesabi Range of Minnesota, U.S., and the Kiruna ores of Sweden.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Ironstones are principally of Phanerozoic age, mainly Early Paleozoic (roughly 440 to 570 million years old) and Jurassic (about 144 to 208 million years old), but can be as old as Middle Precambrian age (about 1.6 to 3 billion years old). They appear to be restricted to basins no larger than 150 kilometres in any direction. Major iron minerals are goethite, hematite, and chamosite.\n\nOrigin of banded iron formation\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The origin of banded iron formation is", "base_doc": " rocks composed predominantly of phosphate are rare. Nevertheless, three principal types exist: (1) regionally extensive, crystalline nodular, and bedded phosphorites, (2) localized concentrations of phosphate-rich clastic deposits (bone beds), and (3) guano deposits.\n\nEvaporites (evaporite)\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Evaporites are layered crystalline sedimentary rocks that form from brines generated in areas where the amount of water lost by evaporation (vaporization) exceeds the total amount of water from rainfall and influx via rivers and streams. The mineralogy of evaporite rocks is complex, with almost 100 varieties possible, but less than a dozen species are volumetrically important. Minerals in evaporite rocks include carbonates (especially calcite, dolomite, magnesite, and aragonite), sulfates (anhydrite and gypsum), and chlorides (particularly halite, sylvite, and carnallite), as well as various borates, silicates, nitrates, and sulfocarbonates. Evaporite deposits occur in both marine and nonmarine sedimentary successions.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Though restricted in area, modern evaporites contribute to genetic models for explaining ancient evaporite deposits. Modern evaporites are limited to arid regions (those of high temperature and low rates of precipitation), for example, on the floors of semidry ephemeral playa lakes in the Great Basin of Nevada and California, across the coastal salt flats (sabkhas) of the Middle East, and in salt pans, estuaries, and lagoons around the Gulf of Suez. Ancient evaporates occur widely in the Phanerozoic geologic record, particularly in those of Cambrian (from 570 to 505 million years ago), Permian (from 286 to 245 million years ago), and Triassic (from 245 to 208 million years ago) age, but are rare in sedimentary sequences of Precambrian age. They tend to be closely associated with shallow marine shelf carbonates and fine (typically rich in iron oxide) mudrocks. Because evaporite sedimentation requires a specific climate and basin setting, their presence in time and space clearly constrains inferences of paleoclimatology and paleogeography. Evaporite beds tend to concentrate and facilitate major thrust fault horizons, so their presence is of particular interest to structural geologists. Evaporites also have economic significance as a source of salts and fertilizer.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0All evaporite deposits result from the precipitation of brines (brine) generated by evaporation. Laboratory experiments can accurately trace the evolution of brines as various evaporite minerals crystallize. Normal seawater has a salinity of 3.5 percent (or 35,000 parts per million), with the most important dissolved constituents being sodium and chlorine. When seawater volume is reduced to one-fifth of the original, evaporite precipitation commences in an orderly fashion, with the more insoluble components (gypsum and anhydrite) forming first. When the solution reaches one-tenth the volume of the original, more soluble minerals like sylvite and halite form. Natural evaporite sequences show vertical changes in mineralogy that crudely correspond to the orderly appearance of mineralogy as a function of solubility but are less systematic.\n\nNonmarine environment\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Evaporite deposition in the nonmarine environment occurs in closed lakes\u2014i.e., those without outlet\u2014in arid and semiarid regions. Such lakes form in closed interior basins or shallow depressions on land where drainage is internal and runoff does not reach the sea. If water depths are shallow or, more typically, somewhat ephemeral, the term playa or playa lake is commonly used.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Water inflow into closed lakes consists principally of precipitation and surface runoff, both of which are small in amount and variable in occurrence in arid regions. Groundwater flow and discharge from springs may provide additional water input, but evaporation rates are always in excess of precipitation and surface runoff. Sporadic or seasonal storms may give rise to a sudden surge of water inflow. Because closed lakes lack outlets, they can respond to such circumstances only by deepening and expanding. Subsequent evaporation will reduce the volume of water present to prestorm or normal amount; fluctuation of closed lake levels therefore characterizes the environment.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Such changing lake levels and water volumes lead to fluctuating salinity values. Variations in salinity effect equilibrium relations between the resulting brines and lead to much solution and subsequent reprecipitation of evaporites in the nonmarine environment. As a result of these complexities as well as the distinctive nature of dissolved constituents in closed lake settings, nonmarine evaporite deposits contain many minerals that are uncommon in marine evaporites\u2014e.g., borax, epsomite, trona, and mirabilite.\n\nShallow marine environment\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Evaporite deposition in the shallow marine environment (sometimes termed the salina (alkali flat)) occurs in desert coastal areas, particularly along the margins of such semi-restricted water bodies as the Red Sea, Persian Gulf, and Gulf of California. Restriction is, in general, one of the critical requirements for evaporite deposition, because free and unlimited mixing with the open sea would allow the bodies of water to easily overcome the high evaporation rates of arid areas and dilute these waters to near-normal salinity. This semi-restriction cannot, in fact, prevent a large amount of dilution by mixing; coastal physiography is the principal factor involved in brine production. Shallow-water evaporites, almost exclusively gypsum, anhydrite, and halite, typically interfinger with tidal flat limestone and dolomite and fine-grained mudrock.\n\nDeep-basin environment\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Most of the thick, laterally extensive evaporite deposits appear to have been produced in deep, isolated basins that developed during episodes of global aridity. The most crucial requirement for evaporite production is aridity; water must be evaporated more rapidly than it can be replenished by precipitation and inflow. In addition, the evaporite basin must somehow be isolated or at least partially isolated from the open ocean so that brines produced through evaporation are prevented from returning there. Restricting brines to such an isolated basin over a period of time enables them to be concentrated to the point where evaporite mineral precipitation occurs. Periodic breaching of the barrier, due either to crustal downwarping or to global sea-level changes, refills the basin from time to time, thereby replenishing the volume of seawater to be evaporated and making possible the inordinately thick, regionally extensive evaporite sequences visible in the geologic record.\n\n\u00a0Debate continues over the exact mechanisms for generating thick evaporite deposits. Three possible models for restricting \u201cbarred\u201d evaporite basins are shown in Figure 5\u2014>. They differ in detail, and none has garnered a consensus of support. The deep-water, deep-basin model accounts for replenishment of the basin across the barrier or sill, with slow, continual buildup of thick evaporites made possible by the seaward escape of brine that allows a constant brine concentration to be maintained. The shallow-water, shallow-basin model produces thick evaporites by continual subsidence of the basin floor. The shallow-water, deep-basin model shows the brine level in the basin beneath the level of the sea as a result of evaporation; brines are replenished by groundwater recharge from the open ocean.\n\nIron-rich (iron) sedimentary rocks\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Almost all sedimentary rocks are iron-bearing in the sense that mudrocks, sandstones, and carbonates typically have an iron content of several percent. Nevertheless, sedimentary rocks in which the proportion of iron exceeds 15 percent are separately categorized as iron-rich. Two major types of iron-rich sedimentary rocks are recognized: (1) iron formation, or banded iron formation (BIF (banded-iron formation))\u2014regionally extensive, locally thick sequences composed of alternating thin (millimetre to centimetre thick) layers of mainly crystalline-textured iron-rich minerals and chert\u2014and (2) ironstone\u2014noncherty, essentially clastic-textured, iron-rich minerals of local extent.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Banded iron formations are predominantly Precambrian in age; most are 1.8 to 2.2 billion years old; none are younger than Cambrian age. The most important iron-bearing minerals in iron formations are hematite, magnetite, and greenalite. These deposits constitute the world's major source of iron ore. Classic examples are found in the Mesabi Range of Minnesota, U.S., and the Kiruna ores of Sweden.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Ironstones are principally of Phanerozoic age, mainly Early Paleozoic (roughly 440 to 570 million years old) and Jurassic (about 144 to 208 million years old), but can be as old as Middle Precambrian age (about 1.6 to 3 billion years old). They appear to be restricted to basins no larger than 150 kilometres in any direction. Major iron minerals are goethite, hematite, and chamosite.\n\nOrigin of banded iron formation\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The origin of banded iron formation is not clearly understood. Banded iron formation units are typically 50 to 600 metres thick. Their complex mineralogy includes various iron oxides, iron carbonates, iron silicates, and iron sulfides. The essentially crystalline texture of these minerals together with the definitive crystalline texture of the laminated chert bands with which the iron mineral layers alternate is perplexing. At present, iron is not easily dissolved, nor can it be readily transported in solution and subsequently precipitated as crystalline-textured, iron-rich minerals, because of the", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 85202, "pt_loc": 94031970, "pt_shuffle_idx": 111899108, "doc_index_f": 175376847, "doc_index_l": 175376847, "offset_f": 18890, "offset_l": 20938, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 104, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": "agogues, mosques, and other \u201chouses of worship\u201d or cloistered faith communities with religious objections to the Rule: These were generally exempted and will not have to comply.\n\n2.

The Obama Administration will not give significant relief from the Free Birth Control Rule to non-church religious organizations: I am convinced that the Obama Administration seeks to constrain freedom of religion to a far more restricted \u201cfreedom of worship.\u201d Thus, since religious institutions such as universities and charities are acting among the wider public\u2014not just on behalf of the institutions\u2019 own religious co-believers\u2014the Obama Administration will take the position that they must comply with terms of the FBCR, with only limited window dressing changes made to the Rule as it applies to religious organizations.\n\n2.

Most, however, will appreciate the gentle courtesy, for such manners soften the harshness of the world.\n\nVery few elevators today\u2014whether in public or residential buildings\u2014are staffed with operators whose job it is to obtain floor requests as well as to open and close the elevator door at the designated floors. But on the rare occasions when elevators are staffed, special greetings should be extended to the operators; and in the case of public elevators, it is considered a polite gesture to give a small, symbolic tip, similar to what would be awarded to a bathroom attendant at a men\u2019s club or a doorman of a hotel. Elevator operators, despite their oftentimes stoical demeanor, must contend with the ups and downs of life like the rest of humanity, and it is especially kind of a gentleman to direct a little of his generosity to such persons, many of whom are honest, hard-working immigrants with immediate and extended families to support.\n\nA much-studied social phenomenon, people, even close friends and family members, tend to position themselves on opposite sides of an elevator whenever space permits. And in crowded elevators, many people tend to feel threatened by the encroachment upon their otherwise-personal space. A gentleman, therefore, must be hyper-conscious of committing further invasions of space. For example, rather than reaching across or between people in order to depress the button of his desired floor, he should politely ask the person situated nearest the floor-selection panel to register his request: \u201cFloor 14, please. Thank you.\u201d (The person situated nearest the floor-selection panel should also be mindful to locate the \u201cdoor-open/door-close\u201d buttons so as to utilize them when necessary).\n\nWhen exiting an elevator, a gentleman, to the extent reasonable, should (provided that he does not significantly impede the flow of others exiting on the same floor) yield to ladies and the elderly. And just prior to stepping off the elevator, he should extend departure courtesies consistent with the time of day to those remaining on the elevator: A simple \u201cHave a good day,\u201d or \u201cEnjoy the rest of your evening\u201d should be extended\u2014with no expectation of a response.\n\nThe History of the Shirt\u2013from First Dynasty Egypt to\u00a0Today\n\nThe Shirt\n\nShirts have existed for thousands of years. One of the world\u2019s oldest preserved garments is a shirt found in a First Dynasty Egyptian tomb at Tarkan, dating from five thousand years ago. And judging from the garment\u2019s degree of sophistication, with its elaborately pleated shoulders to allow for movement, and its form-fitting silhouette, it is clear that the ancient shirt was the result of centuries of design evolution, not the first shirt ever made\u2014after all, it is highly unlikely that man went from animal skins to intricately pleated, fitted shirts of fine linen in one fell swoop.\n\nFor much of the history of the shirt, it was used as an undergarment to protect regular garments, such as jackets, from perspiration and body soilure. Shirts were also used as sleepwear. They were collarless and cuffless and, for the most part, pulled on over the head since they did not feature buttoned fronts. They were either white or made of undyed fabric, usually linen, cotton, or silk. In those days, glimpsing a man\u2019s shirt was the equivalent of seeing his briefs today.\n\nBy the 12th century, the shirt had emerged from underneath other garments to become a full-fledged item of apparel in its own right. Collars and cuffs\u2014sometimes detachable\u2014of different prominence and proportions were added as fashions changed through the decades and centuries. Traditionally a simple garment, in the middle of the 19th century, the shirt became more tailored to complement the shape of the male torso. The first buttoned-up-the-front shirt was registered by Brown, Davies & Co., as early as 1871, but it was only after World War I that the shirt as it is known today became widely popular. In the 1930s, the shirt with a fixed collar became standard, remaining so to this day.\n\nTo a large degree, the \u201ccasualization\u201d of the shirt was inspired by the short-sleeved, colorful Aloha shirts created by Waikiki-based Chinese merchant Ellery Chun during the 1930s. By the 1950s, short-sleeve shirts\u2014once inconceivable on grounds of immodesty\u2014had become popular, as well as shirts in colors other than stark white, the Garibaldi \u201cRedshirts\u201d of 1843 in Uruguay and 1860 in Italy notwithstanding. It was also in the 1950s that manufacturers started producing shirts in synthetic fabrics such as nylon.\n\nChest pockets on shirts is a recent invention: As suit vests (also called \u201cwaistcoats\u201d) became less popular with the rise of temperature-controlled professional offices, shirts in the 1960s started featuring chest pockets, typically on the left side.\n\nLong gone is the day when no decent man would be seen in public with his torso covered with only a shirt. Today, a shirt is accepted as an outermost garment everywhere except in venues where jackets are required. And in many countries, a shirt with a tie (without a jacket) is considered business attire.<|endoftext|>Reflecting on the State of the Union\n\n-A A +A\nBy Congressman Bob Goodlatte\n\nArticle II, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution requires the president to come before Congress to provide a report on the State of the Union.

So, six years, between 1770 and 1776. Do we have that long? We can skip the writing of Founding Documents, the ones we have are still valid. Is LaVoy Finicum our Cripsus Attucks? Will 26 January 2016 go down in history as the start of the 2nd American Revolution? Will it take an armed revolution to restore the Constitution?\n\n 30. I looked at this ten times,what I saw was a ambush this man was shot down with his hands in the air Now the FBI has some thing to anser for they killed a men whit his hans in the air Now the government will have to pay for the shit did by the FBI\n\n 31. The quick release of video by the FBI was good. Unfortunately the video raises more questions than it answers. Why no audio? Why did they say that they wouldn\u2019t release photos of the truck? Will they release full autopsy reports? How many agents were on the ground? How many vehicles were involved? Where\u2019s the video on the ground? They could at least show the parts that confirm, with more detail, what happened from the air?\n\n This is a beginning but there better be more information released, and soon, as this has NOT stopped the anger that\u2019s fomenting because the way this was handled.\n\n 32.

I hope others learn from this.\n\n 1. You\u2019re exactly right. What did his unfortunate choices accomplish? Maybe it\u2019s too soon to tell today. I don\u2019t think anyone doubts his courage and conviction, but his choices are so difficult to understand. He was a Husband, Dad of 11, Grandpa of 19, and he had multiple other young people who had lived with him and looked up to him. He had so much to live for and his choices negatively impacted every one of his loved ones! Why would he throw his life away on a strategically-bungled, short-lived suicide mission that resulted in ZERO change except the imprisonment of several of his friends? Regardless of how he was killed or what he was doing while shot, he HAD to have known that his actions and those of the other occupiers at the Refuge were going to be short-lived and stopped with brute force by a government which tolerates precious little dissent. The Hammonds are still in prison, and now the Bundys are as well. The whole mess casts aspersions on the character of some of the men who gained the victory that was Bundy Ranch.\n\n And for pity\u2019s sake, why are Oath Keepers and the PPN so danged quiet about the cordon and any other tactical ops that were supposed to have been put in place?\n\n 34. This is a great tragedy\u2026 The bigger picture, as Red Blooded American Patriots we need to standup to this Tyrannical regime and vote them out of office!

On another note, on one talks about when Sec. of state Hillary Clinton brokered a deal with a Russian invester to sale 51% of the U.S.\u2019s uranium deposits, this alone should be a criminal act also. People we need to vote these CRIMINALS out of office, NOW!!!\n\n 1. I agree with you Jack\u2026\u2026Did you know that under the Hammonds property is possibly Uranium? Did you know that Hammond went to a Conference in the 1990\u2019s to Douglas County OR to talk about the Land Grab and they have been after him ever since?

July 4, 1776 Declaration of Independence. It\u2019s already written. It doesn\u2019t need to be rewritten. The same Continental Congress appointed George Washington Commander of the Continental Army. So, six years, between 1770 and 1776. Do we have that long? We can skip the writing of Founding Documents, the ones we have are still valid. Is LaVoy Finicum our Cripsus Attucks? Will 26 January 2016 go down in history as the start of the 2nd American Revolution? Will it take an armed revolution to restore the Constitution?\n\n 30. I looked at this ten times,what I saw was a ambush this man was shot down with his hands in the air Now the FBI has some thing to anser for they killed a men whit his hans in the air Now the government will have to pay for the shit did by the FBI\n\n 31. The quick release of video by the FBI was good. Unfortunately the video raises more questions than it answers. Why no audio? Why did they say that they wouldn\u2019t release photos of the truck? Will they release full autopsy reports? How many agents were on the ground? How many vehicles were involved? Where\u2019s the video on the ground? They could at least show the parts that confirm, with more detail, what happened from the air?\n\n This is a beginning but there better be more information released, and soon, as this has NOT stopped the anger that\u2019s fomenting because the way this was handled.\n\n 32. Does anyone think that maybe the Grant County sheriff got flipped by the FBI. That picture of him laughing and smiling during the road blockade after the shooting looks kinda of condemning. I know he is in full blown denial right now.\n\n 33. It is really sad this father had to die for nothing. All of this was just complete nonsense, pointless and silly, and he went down believing all of it.\n\n It was a series of bad choices on his part that led to his demise. I hope others learn from this.\n\n 1. You\u2019re exactly right. What did his unfortunate choices accomplish? Maybe it\u2019s too soon to tell today. I don\u2019t think anyone doubts his courage and conviction, but his choices are so difficult to understand. He was a Husband, Dad of 11, Grandpa of 19, and he had multiple other young people who had lived with him and looked up to him. He had so much to live for and his choices negatively impacted every one of his loved ones! Why would he throw his life away on a strategically-bungled, short-lived suicide mission that resulted in ZERO change except the imprisonment of several of his friends? Regardless of how he was killed or what he was doing while shot, he HAD to have known that his actions and those of the other occupiers at the Refuge were going to be short-lived and stopped with brute force by a government which tolerates precious little dissent. The Hammonds are still in prison, and now the Bundys are as well. The whole mess casts aspersions on the character of some of the men who gained the victory that was Bundy Ranch.\n\n And for pity\u2019s sake, why are Oath Keepers and the PPN so danged quiet about the cordon and any other tactical ops that were supposed to have been put in place?\n\n 34. This is a great tragedy\u2026 The bigger picture, as Red Blooded American Patriots we need to standup to this Tyrannical regime and vote them out of office! I disagree with the tactics of this deliberate killing by the FBI, and State police. They follow orders from up above, the government\u2026 Some of you may not know some of the reasons behind the government overreach, Mr. Harry Reid, yes the senator has been to China brokering a deal, to let the Chineese buy a huge parcel of land so that they can build a Solsr panel manufacturing plant! The Federal gov\u2019t does not own this land and has no right to sale it! On another note, on one talks about when Sec. of state Hillary Clinton brokered a deal with a Russian invester to sale 51% of the U.S.\u2019s uranium deposits, this alone should be a criminal act also. People we need to vote these CRIMINALS out of office, NOW!!!\n\n 1. I agree with you Jack\u2026\u2026Did you know that under the Hammonds property is possibly Uranium? Did you know that Hammond went to a Conference in the 1990\u2019s to Douglas County OR to talk about the Land Grab and they have been after him ever since?

Those worries are unfounded, he says. 'When you are being courted, you never know quite how it is going to pan out, but I have to say that everything Masa said about how he wasn't going to come and interfere (with running the business day-to-day), they have been absolutely true to their word. They haven't spoiled the neutrality and our discussions are all about strategy and growth.'\n\nIt helped that Segars knew his new boss already, 'I first met him in 2006, they had just acquired Vodafone in Japan,' and also knew that he had wanted to buy ARM for a decade or so, but hadn't quite been able to afford it.\n\nBut in the intervening years Son had not been idle, an early $20m bet on Chinese ecommerce start-up Alibaba having come spectacularly good to the tune of an estimated $58bn.\n\nShifting stakes in a couple of smaller gaming firms plus $8bn worth of his precious Alibaba stock got the ARM deal over the line.\n\nAll the same, Segars admits that when the approach was made, it was a bit of a spit your coffee out moment. 'He rang me up and said he'd like to meet with me and my chairman. So we ended up having lunch in Turkey, of all places.'\n\nAn avid dealmaker, Son holds stakes in a dizzying array of businesses including a Japanese baseball team. A listed company, SoftBank's market cap rose by a whopping 577% between 2009-2014. But fuelling his ambition has led him to rack up $120bn in debt. And the first dotcom crash cost him $77bn, reckoned to be the biggest single personal loss ever.\n\nThe news was not only a surprise to employees and customers - the sale of the UK's largest homegrown tech firm to a foreign buyer inevitably attracted a lot of negative comment. Would a British buyer going after Sony or Toshiba be so welcome in Tokyo, asked critics?\n\nARM's progenitor and paterfamilias of the Cambridge tech scene, Hermann Hauser, even went so far as to describe the sale as 'A very sad day for technology in Britain'. In another recent interview he cautioned, 'What happens when he (Son) retires? Will his successor have the same attitude to ARM?' A new boss could well mean new favourites in the SoftBank stable.\n\nSegars isn't having any of this - there are no barbarians at ARM's gates as far as he is concerned. 'People were writing things like \"All the profit's going to be sucked out of ARM and the UK isn't going to benefit\" but we're still hiring like crazy here. This is still our HQ and we're growing it, just like we said we would.'\n\nIt's a good deal for ARM and the UK, he says, both because of the guarantees offered (SoftBank says it will double the number of ARM employees in the UK, currently around 1,600, and that the firm's nerve centre will remain in Cambridge) and also because of the freedom of action that no longer being a plc affords.\n\n'All that's really happened is that we've gone from having thousands of shareholders to having one. And even when we had thousands, about half of the shares were held overseas anyway - the perceptions about ARM's ownership and the reality were slightly different.'\n\nOne shareholder means faster decision-making, less time spent managing investor expectations and more time for thinking big thoughts about the future of technology.\n\n'We will be able to grow more quickly and to do more.

Well, unlike conventional processors, the ones that Segars and his colleagues design offer a double whammy of key attributes: plenty of processing muscle, plus very low power consumption for decent battery life. Without ARM our phones would run flat in minutes rather than hours.\n\nBut Son is famous for his grand plans, and it is likely that he has a bigger role in mind for his new toy.

So there's a growing opportunity to deploy ARM-based technology in all sorts of computers - big ones in the cloud, and tiny ones in the devices that are going to create the Internet of Things.'\n\nARM needs to catch this wave, not only because the world has probably got almost as many smartphones as it wants now, but also because bigger and noisier chip giants like Intel are starting to move in on its territory and produce their own low-power consumption designs.

I was using levers to physically shove the nosewheel into pointing the way I wanted to turn the airplane. The Screaming Whippet one is too big for me to kick around by myself, or they don't want to make levers that big, so it uses electrically controlled, hydraulically activated, variable authority nosewheel steering.

It must be armed and activated to be used. You arm it with a toggle switch, the location and position of which I can't picture now and it becomes activated when the squat switch indicates that you are on the ground and one of the following things happens. Either a) the right speed lever is moved into the low position or b) a button on the side of the left power lever is pressed and held. (Yes, I have both speed and power levers: resolving units, you'd think you'd get a power lever by forcing the speed lever, but that would be a geeky joke and not the reality of this airplane). Once the system is activated, you steer with the rudder pedals, just like old times.\n\nMoving a rudder pedal sends a signal to a potentiometer. There's a pile of potentiometers, I think it was four. One of them represents the input you gave to the rudder pedal, one the position of the nosewheel, one the target position and one for good luck. So maybe it was three. The difference between the target and the position is sent to a selector valve which shuttles the appropriate way to send hydraulic fluid to a piston operating rack and pinion steering to pivot the nose gear in the appropriate direction. The channels in the shuttle valve go straight through for left turns and criss-cross to reverse the pressure for right turns. When the commanded steering meets the actual steering, the system holds that input until a new input is received or the system is disarmed. In the later case it smoothly recentres. The maximum steering in this mode is ten degrees either side of centre, but you can get up to sixty-three degrees deflection in park mode, by pressing and holding the park button.

The point is to connect with your baby. When you trade smiles, talk, coo, and play with her, you build her sense of security.\n\nOne of the best ways to make your baby feel safe is to comfort her whenever she cries. \"Some parents think the attention will make a baby more dependent and clingy, but the opposite is true,\" says Megan Gunnar, PhD, professor at the University of Minnesota's Institute of Child Development, in Minneapolis. Research shows that a crying baby who is soothed quickly tends to cry less, not more. \"When your child is upset, just holding her calms her down, especially if you can take a relaxing breath first,\" adds Marcy Axness, PhD, an early-development specialist in Los Angeles. \"Plus, interacting and connecting with your baby wires her brain in a way that eventually helps her calm herself. Babies who haven't been comforted don't develop that internal capacity to self-soothe.\"\n\nToddlers: Encourage Exploration\n\nOnce your child is walking, he'll want to explore and push his limits -- and that alone invites a certain amount of stress. \"Toddlers are trying to master challenges like reaching the sink or manipulating a tricky toy without help,\" says Dr. Chansky. \"Even these everyday strains can stress a child out if they add up. And if you get frustrated with your child for not being able to do something, it only intensifies that anxiety.\" This is also prime time for tantrums -- and the way you react to meltdowns can teach him a lot about handling pressure. If you tense, he'll feel anxious too. A child who is overwhelmed at this age may hit, pinch, or throw toys when he plays. In addition, he can have trouble settling down at bedtime.\n\nTo ease the angst, empathize with your child and be patient. \"You might say, 'I know stacking those blocks is tough -- it was hard for your brother too,' \" says Dr. Chansky. Once he knows you understand how he feels, he'll be more likely to calm down, and you can talk about how best to tackle building together.\n\nDr. Gunnar has found that children who are frightened by something out of the ordinary, such as a clown, become even more anxious when parents push them to confront their fears (\"Don't be so scared -- it's just a clown\"). It's better to get down to his level and explain in a calm voice who the clown is and why he's there. In Dr. Gunnar's research, children whose parents tried this were more likely to muster the courage to approach whatever they found upsetting.\n\nIf your child attends daycare, just the long hours of commotion may be tough to handle. Between 70 and 80 percent of toddlers in daycare show increasing levels of stress hormones as the day wears on, partly because toddlers have few social skills and find interacting with others to be hard work. If your child seems clingy and fussy, spend time observing the daycare setting. \"There should be a warm feeling of community,\" says Dr. Gunnar. How big is the group? Do the kids receive a lot of attention from the provider? Are the shyer kids getting support? Are there enough breaks for quiet time between activities? If you're satisfied with your childcare setting, take a look at your mornings. Are they a chaotic rush? Try getting up 15 minutes earlier and playing with your toddler for a bit before you leave. When you pick him up, make sure you spend some quality time just focused on him -- turn off your phone, put the mail aside, and open a book to read together, or get out some paper and crayons so you both can unwind from the day.\n\nPreschoolers: Help Them Adjust to the Big World\n\nAt this age, your child's active imagination is likely to trigger new kinds of stress. \"Her magical thinking may transform a shadow into a scary monster or a curtain into a ghost,\" says Dr. Chansky. Though these fears may seem irrational to adults, they are very real to kids. Some signals that stress is a problem for your child: She begins to backslide in her potty training, regresses to babyish behavior like sucking her thumb, and acts up by breaking the rules. Preschoolers are also more likely than younger kids to complain of headaches and tummy aches.\n\nTo calm your child down, make it clear you take her worries seriously, and use her anxiety to teach her about the world. \"If your child is afraid of storms, go to the window and explain how to count the seconds between the lightning flash and the thunder,\" says Dr. Chansky. \"That helps a child feel in control.\"\n\nAlso, minimize exposure to upsetting TV programs such as news shows. \"Preschoolers are old enough to be frightened by scary scenes; plus, they think it's happening right outside their door,\" says Nancy Ryan-Wenger, PhD, professor of nursing at Ohio State University College of Nursing.\n\nIt's always important to talk to your child about what she's feeling, what worries her, and how you can help. \"She may forget exactly what you tell her, but she'll get the message that you care and that's what's important,\" says Dr. Chansky. To ease transitions that you know are on the way -- starting preschool, your upcoming business trip -- you might count down the days on a calendar that you decorate with pictures showing what will happen.\n\nThe good news: At every age, giving your child support is a great stress antidote. \"Meet your child's basic emotional needs and he'll reach school age with a good sense of himself and an ability to handle stress, which will make him resilient throughout life,\" says Dr. Essex. \"Basically, being sensitive and responsive to your child's needs prevents much of the damaging effects of stress.\"\n\nStress During Pregnancy\n\nFeeling anxious when you're pregnant is normal -- after all, you're about to take on a major new responsibility. And although short-term worry isn't harmful, women whose stress hormones soar due to severe anxiety or depression are more likely to deliver premature or low birth weight babies (probably because stress hormones help trigger labor). Also, high levels of maternal stress hormones may have an impact on a child's psychological development. A 2005 University of Rochester Medical Center study found a link between excessive stress during pregnancy and increased levels of cortisol in kids at age 10. One theory suggests that anxiety in pregnancy increases the mother's own levels of cortisol, which crosses the placenta and influences the baby's brain development, including its stress-response system. These changes may make children more susceptible to anxiety. A more recent study, led by the same investigators, found that feeling anxious during pregnancy may affect your baby's sleep patterns. The researchers suspect that Mom's elevated stress hormones may alter fetal brain development, leading to early-life sleep problems.\n\nSigns that stress may pose a risk to you or your baby include: feeling like you can't shake your anxiety, frequent crying, social withdrawal, and lack of interest in things you usually enjoy. If you have any of these symptoms, talk to your doctor right away.\n\nCopyright \u00a9 2007.

La Rockola 96.7 FM Is No More!\n\nLa Rockola 96.7 has not been for the past 2 months, but I have not noticed, figuring that the Ranchero music that currently dominates the station was just temporary every time I dialed into it.\n\nBut no, the Ranchero music is there to stay, for the time being, especially now that it's renamed \"La Ranchera 96.7\", to my absolute, utter, complete dismay.\n\n\u00a0I'm like, really, we need another Ranchero music station?\n\nI wouldn't have noticed this change because: 1) my dial is heavily tilted towards one of the public radio stations (89.3, 89.9, and 90.7) 2) my Spanish language comprehension still sucks 3) I really thought they were just going to play Cumbia eventually.\n\nWhat the hell was La Rockola 96.7 FM?\n\nLa Rockola actually won OC Weekly's Best Radio station in 2012 and was described in the brief bit as \"a heady mix of cumbias, salsa, the occasional quebradita and reams of sonidero.\"\n\nIt was a station that I got perfectly as I got on the 105 West and headed towards Santa Ana. Almost every time that I had work in and around Orange County, it would be time to tune into 96.7.\n\nI thought of the station as loaded with Freshness. At least to me. Fresher than what appears to dominate Spanish language radio, which is slow, yawn-inducing male-dominated ballads usually incorporating an accordion.\n\nWhat did La Rockola play? From what I think I Shazaamed specifically from them (either them or 90.7's lunch time World Music Cafe):\n\n\nHere's more from their Twitter page and their La Estrella TV Page.\n\nFor about 8 years, I have been listening on/off to Spanish language radio in attempt to learn the language. I started off at KLOVE, not really not knowing any better. I even tried listening to Piolin on 101.9 when he was on, but some of my old co-workers, Mexican women, didn't really like him, so I kinda stopped listening to him and just kept with the the KLOVE. I developed a lot more taste and distaste as I've learned more of the language, and eventually moved on to stuff that the younger crowd might listen to like whatever was on what used to be Latino 96.3 and La Estrella 107.1.\n\nI accidentally ran into La Rockola while attempting to find a radio station after 89.3 KPCC cuts after I reach PCH in Santa Monica. Ironically, I discovered that the music from 96.7 FM was not from Malibu, Thousand Oaks or wherever, but was from Orange County --- Santa Ana to be exact.\n\nThe discovery of this radio station was not an insignificant discovery as I Shazammed many a lunch hour away whenever I was within range. I never really really liked a lot of Spanish language music (and by \"really really liked\" I mean would actually seek out the music), till I discovered that station and Canto Tropical Saturdays on 90.7. However, this wasn't the first time I was really disappointed in a Spanish radio station being cut out. I used to listen to 93.9 Exitos after I noticed that one date I went on had put in on there, until it started having (and still appears to be having) its identity issues.\n\nThey played lots of pop Spanish, but it kinda beat the KLOVE and La Estrella 107.1 that I had been listening to for my own Spanish immersion.\n\nI really hope that this is temporary and something else comes out.

(BP) -- What did you do on Darwin Day 2014? If you are like me, you totally missed it. Someone had to call my attention to the celebration of all things evolutionary, after the Feb. 8 event had taken place. A little research allowed me to discover the website of the International Darwin Day Foundation (IDDF). According to the site: \"Darwin Day is an international celebration of science and humanity held on or around February 12, the day that Charles Darwin was born on in 1809. Specifically, it celebrates the discoveries and life of Charles Darwin -- the man who first described biological evolution via natural selection with scientific rigor. More generally, Darwin Day expresses gratitude for the enormous benefits that scientific knowledge, acquired through human curiosity and ingenuity, has contributed to the advancement of humanity.\" The IDDF website encourages enthusiasts to ask elected officials for proclamations declaring Darwin Day a recognized and official celebration in their jurisdictions. You can even send a festive e-card from the IDDF site. One that caught my eye was a colorful depiction of the ascent of man with the encouragement, \"On Darwin Day Let's Resolve to Evolve.\" A recent Pew poll on the American public's views on evolution found that 60 percent of Americans ascribe to the belief that \"humans and other living things have evolved over time.\" However, among the number who accept the theory of evolution, 24 percent said that \"a supreme being guided the evolution of living things for the purpose of creating humans and other life in the form it exists today.\" Intelligent Design theory postulates that an intelligent being, perhaps God, is the cause and orchestrator of the process of evolution. Given the Pew numbers, a majority of Americans, 57 percent, believe that a personal God or a supreme being is behind life as we know it. This does not sit well with evolution's purists who refuse to accept that anything other than material or energy shaped by chance over time has produced the world as we know it. Robert Stephens, co-founder of the Darwin Day program, is profiled in an interview on the IDDF website and is quoted saying: \"For me, Humanism has its roots in ancient Greek philosophy and if the phenomenon of Christianity had not come along -- I think it is reasonable to suggest that Science and Humanism would have continued to developed naturally out of the ancient Greek culture. It seem reasonable, under this scenario, to suggest that the concept of evolution would have been developed much earlier than Darwin's theory in the 1850s -- and it is clear that an understanding of evolution destroys the myth of Adam and Eve, thereby also destroying the need for the myth of God having to send his only begotten son to redeem mankind from their sin....\" According to Stephens, the emergence of Christianity delayed the discovery of evolution. He also makes it clear that evolution debunks any possibility of God. For evolution religionists like Stephens, the thought of an intelligent designer is utter foolishness. Bill Nye, best known as \"the Science Guy,\" in his recent debate with Ken Ham rejected the very idea of Intelligent Design when he insisted that nature is \"inconsistent with a top-down view.\" Ham, president of Answers in Genesis and the Creation Museum, accurately summed up the discord between ardent evolutionists and proponents of creationism and Intelligent Design during his debate with Nye: \"The battle is really about authority. It's more than just science or evolution or creation. It's about who is the authority in this world, man or God?\" In the end, those who ascribe to a belief in evolution, creationism or Intelligent Design all have to take a leap of faith. The scientific method can only be applied to independently observable, measureable events that can be repeated. Thus, it has its limits. When it comes to evolution, creationism or Intelligent Design, the scientific method cannot be applied, thus an ultimate truth will not be discovered in this life. Thus, each requires an element of belief, of faith. Let's say an adherent of evolution, a believer of creation and a proponent of Intelligent Design are walking together down a road when the trio comes across a turtle situated atop a fence post. The creationist and the Intelligent Design proponent both agree the turtle did not get to the top of the post by itself. Someone had to have placed it there. The evolutionist would argue the turtle could have come to rest on the fence any number of ways. Perhaps this particular turtle had mastered the art of climbing. Maybe an eagle scooped it up and dropped it on the post. The evolutionist might even suggest that floodwaters had risen to the height of the fence and deposited the turtle there. Perhaps even a massive gust of wind thrust the turtle atop the post. The evolutionist could posit hypotheses, seek to formulate theories and test them to see which could be more plausible. However, because none of three was present when the turtle found its way to the top the post, there is no way to know exactly how it got there. The adherents of evolution have more in common with creationists and Intelligent Design proponents than they are willing to admit. They even set aside a day to honor the chief prophet of their faith, Charles Darwin. --30-- Kelly Boggs is a weekly columnist for Baptist Press, director of the Louisiana Baptist Convention's office of public affairs, and editor of the Baptist Message (, newsjournal of the Louisiana Baptist Convention.

It also surveys actions that could be taken to address the situation.\n\nThe study, which covers the period 1990\u20132008, examines how much the production, trade and consumption of soya, palm oil, cocoa and other commodities have contributed to deforestation. The analysis directly links deforestation in producer countries to consumption in consumer countries. The results show the amount of deforestation embodied in imports by commodity and by country.\n\nThe study finds that most of the goods associated with deforestation are consumed in the producer countries. The EU imports 35% of the total amount of goods traded internationally. For agricultural commodities, the EU imports and consumes 7% of total global consumption. Oil crops stand out as a major import commodity that contributes to the EU's impact on global deforestation.\n\nThe five institutes that conducted the research are Vito, IIASA, Cicero, K.U.

But the NATO bombing of Kosovo, ordered by President Clinton this week, shows precisely how disorderly\u2014how opposed to the rule of law\u2014this New World Order really is.\n\nClinton talks endlessly about his commitment to NATO and the international community, but glosses over his earlier, more fundamental commitment: his solemn pledge to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.\n\nThe Framers of the Constitution were determined not to grant the president an unfettered power to make war. Having just suffered at King George\u2019s hands, they believed that vesting the executive with war-making power almost inevitably led to abuse. Thus they clearly wrote: Congress, not the President, shall have the power \u201cTo declare War, grant letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on Land and Water.\u201d The President could act without the authority of Congress only to repel sudden attacks. In all other cases, Congress alone had the authority to declare a war.\n\nClearly, when it comes to war, supporters of presidential power turn a blind eye to the Constitution. Betting they can dodge the restrictions imposed by our national charter, they call the President\u2019s exercise of force not war, but \u201cpolice actions,\u201d \u201csurgical strikes,\u201d or \u201climited engagements.\u201d This is not constitutional scholarship but constitutional obfuscation. The Framers knew that minor military engagements could quickly escalate into major ones, so they sought to limit presidential power over \u201csmall\u201d wars just as much as large ones. The \u201cLetters of Marque and Reprisal\u201d that they empowered Congress, but not the President, to grant referred to licensing government agents to take enemy ships or otherwise frustrate the enemy\u2014the 18th century method of conducting a \u201climited engagement.\u201d\n\nIf any ambiguities about war powers remained, Chief Justice John Marshall removed them in one of the earliest Supreme Court cases on this subject (Talbot v. Seeman, 1801). Congress alone, the court unanimously ruled, had the \u201cwhole powers of war,\u201d whether that meant authorizing \u201cgeneral hostilities\u201d or \u201cpartial war.\u201d Much later, Justice Thurgood Marshall referred to this ruling and noted that \u201cnothing in the 172 years since those words were written alters that fundamental constitutional postulate (Holtzman v. Schlesinger, 1973).\u201d\n\nTo be sure, ignorance of the Constitution is not limited to Clinton. It was only a few weeks ago that Republicans were crowing about the supreme importance of the \u201crule of law\u201d and the \u201csacred constitution.\u201d At the time, many of them had no doubt about the exact meaning of \u201chigh crimes and misdemeanors,\u201d a subject on which constitutional scholars are vexed. Yet when the Constitution and constitutional history speak plainly and with one voice about the power to declare war, few Republicans can be found willing to declare the President\u2019s actions unconstitutional. Republicans, of course, were willing to ignore the rule of law when Reagan launched plainly unconstitutional military strikes against Grenada, Lebanon, Libya and other countries. Democrats also are all too willing to ignore the rule of law when it so suits them.\n\nOnly a handful of members of Congress like Senator Joe Biden (D-Del.) and Representative Tom Campbell (R-Calif.) hold fast to the Constitution, whatever the party of the President. Campbell has repeatedly tried to force the President and Congress to live up to their duties under the War Powers Resolution of 1973. Unfortunately, the War Powers Resolution, passed in 1973 in response to the quagmire of the Vietnam war, has been too weak to force Presidents to relinquish their illegally held war powers. Senator Biden, therefore, introduced legislation in July intended to strengthen the 1973 resolution. All those who truly hold sacred the rule of law and the Constitution should support the efforts of Campbell, Biden, and others to restore to Congress its rightful powers.\n\n\nFrom Alexander T.

But the NATO bombing of Kosovo, ordered by President Clinton this week, shows precisely how disorderly\u2014how opposed to the rule of law\u2014this New World Order really is.\n\nClinton talks endlessly about his commitment to NATO and the international community, but glosses over his earlier, more fundamental commitment: his solemn pledge to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.\n\nThe Framers of the Constitution were determined not to grant the president an unfettered power to make war. Having just suffered at King George\u2019s hands, they believed that vesting the executive with war-making power almost inevitably led to abuse. Thus they clearly wrote: Congress, not the President, shall have the power \u201cTo declare War, grant letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on Land and Water.\u201d The President could act without the authority of Congress only to repel sudden attacks. In all other cases, Congress alone had the authority to declare a war.\n\nClearly, when it comes to war, supporters of presidential power turn a blind eye to the Constitution. Betting they can dodge the restrictions imposed by our national charter, they call the President\u2019s exercise of force not war, but \u201cpolice actions,\u201d \u201csurgical strikes,\u201d or \u201climited engagements.\u201d This is not constitutional scholarship but constitutional obfuscation. The Framers knew that minor military engagements could quickly escalate into major ones, so they sought to limit presidential power over \u201csmall\u201d wars just as much as large ones. The \u201cLetters of Marque and Reprisal\u201d that they empowered Congress, but not the President, to grant referred to licensing government agents to take enemy ships or otherwise frustrate the enemy\u2014the 18th century method of conducting a \u201climited engagement.\u201d\n\nIf any ambiguities about war powers remained, Chief Justice John Marshall removed them in one of the earliest Supreme Court cases on this subject (Talbot v. Seeman, 1801). Congress alone, the court unanimously ruled, had the \u201cwhole powers of war,\u201d whether that meant authorizing \u201cgeneral hostilities\u201d or \u201cpartial war.\u201d Much later, Justice Thurgood Marshall referred to this ruling and noted that \u201cnothing in the 172 years since those words were written alters that fundamental constitutional postulate (Holtzman v. Schlesinger, 1973).\u201d\n\nTo be sure, ignorance of the Constitution is not limited to Clinton. It was only a few weeks ago that Republicans were crowing about the supreme importance of the \u201crule of law\u201d and the \u201csacred constitution.\u201d At the time, many of them had no doubt about the exact meaning of \u201chigh crimes and misdemeanors,\u201d a subject on which constitutional scholars are vexed. Yet when the Constitution and constitutional history speak plainly and with one voice about the power to declare war, few Republicans can be found willing to declare the President\u2019s actions unconstitutional. Republicans, of course, were willing to ignore the rule of law when Reagan launched plainly unconstitutional military strikes against Grenada, Lebanon, Libya and other countries. Democrats also are all too willing to ignore the rule of law when it so suits them.\n\nOnly a handful of members of Congress like Senator Joe Biden (D-Del.) and Representative Tom Campbell (R-Calif.) hold fast to the Constitution, whatever the party of the President. Campbell has repeatedly tried to force the President and Congress to live up to their duties under the War Powers Resolution of 1973. Unfortunately, the War Powers Resolution, passed in 1973 in response to the quagmire of the Vietnam war, has been too weak to force Presidents to relinquish their illegally held war powers. Senator Biden, therefore, introduced legislation in July intended to strengthen the 1973 resolution. All those who truly hold sacred the rule of law and the Constitution should support the efforts of Campbell, Biden, and others to restore to Congress its rightful powers.\n\n\nFrom Alexander T.

No doubt this mouse came from the same genetic stock as the ones that must have scurried during Lev Gumilyov\u2019s term of imprisonment, when he was locked up during the Yezhov terror that resulted in the execution of over a million people.

And then an example of the object that I found most moving of all, and still very much in use when I visited: a blowgun made of the little cardboard cylinders at the center of a toilet paper roll. Taped and glued together, the gun on display was over six feet long, the tube bent at a soft right angle at about the fourth foot: the prisoners wrote messages on scraps of paper, folded them up, inserted them in the gun, and blew them through the window bars. The right angle was for reaching windows around corners. It must take two men to handle a gun of this size, just to keep it from sagging or breaking apart. Whatever official policy the guards may have had toward these pipe-blown messages went unenforced: the parking lot was littered with them. I never learned if the men wrote their names and addresses on them so that the messages could be delivered, but something like that must have happened, for out in the parking lot, I saw several women\u2014wives, girlfriends, mothers?\u2014picking through hundreds of folded messages and putting a few of them in their purses.\n\nMy visit was almost a decade ago, but over the years, I\u2019ve thought in a desultory way about why the image of those blowguns stays so fresh in my mind. Is it because, when I taught in a maximum security prison, Patuxent Institution, the prison guards would never have turned a blind eye to such activities? That kind of laxness would never have been tolerated. And on the prisoners\u2019 side of the bars, I\u2019d also spent a few days in jail myself, once for hitchhiking in Nebraska, the second time for stealing food in a grocery store. So I had some slight basis for fellow feeling with the prisoners, both as a teacher and an inmate. For a prisoner, the shutting of iron doors behind you, the clanging of metal on metal, felt a little like you'd been erased: all ties beyond the prison walls were cut off, felt far away, rendered weirdly irrelevant\u2014which, of course, made you long for them that much more. The loneliness and desperation, as well as the fear of the other inmates that besets you, is one of the worst feelings I know. And so those toilet-paper blowguns were, for me, an emblem of our overwhelming need for communication\u2014human breath blowing a message to the world. And the fact that they were made of such flimsy materials, materials whose purpose was connected to our most basic bodily functions, made me admire all the more the ingenuity that conceived and constructed them. It was an expression of common humanity, however absurd or desperate the feelings behind it, or however brutal the actions of the men who made them. For me, they represented an affirmative gesture and, out of a poverty of means, an instrument that expresses more about our essential nature, its animal and spiritual side, than that other, loftier instrument that the blowgun somewhat resembles: an object designed no less for communication, though of an artistic kind\u2014a pipe or a flute.\n\nOf course the archetypal flute was the one fashioned by Hermes and traded to Apollo in exchange for the caduceus. Apollo, the god of poetry, consummate musician of both the flute and the lyre, never had to take a shit\u2014at least not in any of the myths I\u2019ve read. Nor does he have to die, nor can any prison hold him. Which is perhaps why the toilet-paper-roll blowgun has such a strong hold on my imagination: I love its handmade nature, its aura of improvisation and bricolage, its embrace of recycled materials, its resolutely low-tech commitments in a world hurtling toward global corporate fascism. It suggests a kind of poetics based on these qualities, an oppositional poetics that isn\u2019t simply a replication of the forces it\u2019s opposing. Like Robinson Crusoe\u2019s flute in Elizabeth Bishop\u2019s \u201cCrusoe in England,\u201d it stresses the virtues of the homely, the homemade, but without being blind to the larger world. I doubt that Apollo would think much of such an instrument\u2014tape and glue, the industrial processes that make toilet paper\u2014it all seems a little too humanly involved to be of much interest on Mt. Olympus. In fact, the flute that Marsyas the satyr played in his famous contest with Apollo had belonged to Athena\u2014that is, until she caught sight of her reflection in the water and hated the way the flute made her cheeks puff out. And so she threw it away, which is when Marsyas picked it up\u2014man to the waist, goat below, no wonder puffed-out cheeks didn\u2019t bother him. By the same token, animal-human humanity has clear affinities with the toilet-paper-roll blowgun.\n\nThis fancy is obviously not what the prisoners see in it, but the fact that a blowgun ended up in a museum that includes photographs of historic figures, as well as that exquisitely sculpted chess set made out of bread, suggests a surplus aura that goes beyond the obvious utilitarian purposes. The museum curator thought it was worth collecting and showing to tourists. And so the blowgun has about it a kind of artifactual antiquity, as if its presence in a museum gave it a shared pedigree with classical statues and great art. At the same time, it represents a counter-impulse to Apollo\u2019s sacred music, a kind of punked-out vitality that has its own unique, and historically inflected, charge. If one of poetry\u2019s traditional purposes is to bring humanity to the transcendent, another is to reach out to ordinary human beings and do what E. M. Forster said was the purpose of all art: \u201cOnly connect.\u201d\n\nOf course these purposes are complicated by darker cross-currents. One of them is the way Apollo takes his music making so seriously\u2014so seriously, in fact, that when Marsyas challenges Apollo (now playing an even tonier instrument, the lyre) to a music contest and loses, the real concert turns out to be Marsyas\u2019s screams as Apollo skins him alive. These screams turn Forster\u2019s dictum inside out: Marsyas\u2019s cries do indeed connect, but with ears sublimely indifferent to human suffering. The mythic vision of engaging Apollo in a divine music-making contest devolves into notes that would seem more appropriate for a toilet-paper-roll blowgun.\n\nBut it\u2019s the dual nature of Akhmatova\u2019s vision in\u201dRequiem\u201d that interests me. The poet casts herself as both Apollo and Marsyas\u2014Apollo because of the transcendent poetic privilege she invokes to speak about collective suffering, Marsyas because she herself is the object lesson in what being skinned alive feels like. The implication that she is both torturer and tortured is heretical, and certainly repellent, but, I would argue, the main source of the poem\u2019s power. It\u2019s as if in the poem she overcomes her helplessness by wresting the initiative from Stalin, and refigures memory as the skinning knife that Apollo so effectively wields. In Part III, she writes, \u201cNo, it is not I, it is somebody else who is suffering. / I would not have been able to bear what happened\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0\u201d This radical dissociation intensifies in the next section in which she writes of her pre-Yezhov-terror self:\n\nYou should have been shown, you mocker,\nMinion of all your friends,\nGay little sinner of Tsarskoye Selo,\nWhat would happen in your life\u2014\nHow three-hundredth in line, with a parcel,\nYou would stand", "base_doc": "\u2019t escorted by anyone but our guide.

I hate violence.\" And blood, especially when the two are mixed together. \"Of course I know this isn't some sort of TV show. But they're /not/ awful.

I know everything hasn't been handled perfectly, but, like you said, this isn't a TV show. Nothing's planned out in advance for the most part. I don't know what to tell you, Lee.\" At moments lik these she /does/ wish she had a power. Just so she could do demonstrations for the disbelievers. Or semi-believers as the case may be.\n\nLee lowers his voice, \"Cass, what if Ramon came over with a gun to the Secret Lair not to stop my father from burning the place down, but to kill him afterwards, or if he flinched from destroying the place he loved more than anyone or anything else? What if the reason he's organizing people to go after this obviously-fake-name John Carter isn't for revenge but because he has to be silenced? Even what he /claims/ he wants is bad enough. Blood revenge for the murder of his wife? That is fucking unstable and crazy, even if it /weren't/ a 1983 revenge movie cliche, eyepatch and all. And that's if you believe him, which I have no reason to. None. And I doubt you do either. Just because someone knows a secret you do doesn't mean they're telling you the truth.\" Lee is definitely in the 'believer' category now\u2026well\u2026maybe 'definitely' is a bit strong, but it's looking likely\u2026\n\nWhile Cass understands that Lee is lowering his voice for both dramatic effect, since they're the only ones here, as well as to show that he's conveying something like a secret. \"/Now/ who's talking like a 1983 revenge movie?\" she points out to Lee for his theory. \"That's the problem. Ramon would /never/ do that.\" Maybe if she didn't know Ramon, hadn't talked with him and /heard/ his side of the story before anything happened, then maybe she could believe that Lee's conclusion had some sort of merit. \"I /do/ have a reason to believe the Gomezes, Lee. Elena saved my life. And if you had /talked/ to them before any of this actually started. You wouldn't be able to think that this was some plot. They even went through the police and the district attorney. It's not because we share the same secret that I trust Ramon and Elena. It goes a lot deeper than that.\" She studies her friend for a moment. \"Look, I get you don't believe what I do, but there's more to it than us being the crazy people you think we are for it.\"\n\nLee says, \"It's not that, not anymore, I believe there are people out there with weird abilities, and yeah, maybe there's a serial killer who can control minds out there. Why not?\" he adds sardonically, like that would be just right in line with everything else he's experienced. \"If a case falls through the cracks with the police, there are a lot of choices, but on the 'reasonable, non-fucking-crazy' list of options, you will not find, 'become a gun-toting vigilante.'\" He shakes his head, subsiding. \"I'm glad she saved your life - that does make the whole thing slightly less than a /complete/ disaster.\" he admits. \"And like I say. I don't have a choice about what's happening, so why complain. I'll just watch until the next 'twist' comes along.\"\n\nThere's a distinct raise in eyebrow when Lee admits that he believes the same thing that they do. Now that's something Cass never thought she'd hear. \"What made you change your mind about it?\" She'll ignore the sardonic and sarcastic tone from him, that's just Lee. If she took everything he said to heart, they would never have made it past their first meeting. \"He's /not/, though. Oh, I don't know. Lots of things have been turned around lately.\" What she /will/ get adamant about is his resigned attitude. \"Oh, /please/, Lee. Don't give me any crap about not having a choice about anything. You're the most opinionated man I know. Of course you have a choice.\"\n\nLee says, \"I should have seen it coming once I saw the eyepatch.\" with a smile that would be a sneer if it were less unhappy. He shrugs: \"I got proof they exist from someone. I can't really tell you more, but if you think about how dreadfully trite a reveal like that is you can probably narrow it down to a list of three or four. You know\u2026\" He lowers his voice again, but this time it's not to keep others from hearing. \"My whole childhood I felt abandoned because I thought my parents loved fictional people with strange powers more than me. Then\u2026I get over it. I grow out of thinking that. I move on. Still hate comic books, but hey, there are better books in town. And now I find out it's /real/. And my parents /were/ involved in it. And Christ. I just want to break something with a golf club.\"\n\n\"Oh, is he sporting the eyepatch now?\" Cass hasn't even managed to see him for that. She's already making him one of her own with a bit of a pirate-y flair, but that's the sort of thing that's lost on Lee. \"You're talking to a woman who owns an occult bookstore.\" While it doesn't go as deep as Lee's entire life, it's at least a start of some understanding. \"It's weird, isn't it? That feeling that the impossible really /is/ possible? Wondering what else we've been proving to ourselves is false is actually true.\" Finally, her arms drop from being wrapped around herself and she just kind of stuffs them into her pockets. \"It's okay, I understand that this is one of things you can't just talk to other people about. But, you can let that person know that I'm trying to help people like them here. Give them a place to test what they can do. That's what this place is actually for, though it is kind of handy as a safehouse.\" Pause. \"And that goes for you, too. If you want to learn more about this or see more of it in action, the door's always open. You know the code.\"\n\nLee says, \"They've got a pretty good handle on it. A lot better than me.\" He shakes his head. \"It's more than weird. It's\u2026disappointing. Soul-suckingly /Literal/. Like Moby Dick was just a story about a whale. What good is a myth to me /now/?\" It really has offended him. He's not just being a jerk.\n\n\"For you, then,\" Cass gives him a weak smile. Just in case he wants a place to come to terms with it all. \"Wait, there was /meaning/ behind Moby Dick?\" she teases him gently before quickly moving onto the topic at hand. \"There's still myth and poetry and in betweens. I mean, just because /some/ people can actually fly and come back to life and heal and do all the things in myth doesn't mean that everyone can. I kind of find it comforting. To know that anything actually /is/ possible. It's not just one of those things you stitch into a pillow.\"\n\nLee says, \"It pisses me off. Just so you know why I'm in such a foul mood about it.\" He smirks. \"I have to come here. My father's here. But that brings us back to where we were before. Let's just say if I\u2026oh /god/.\" he moans, putting his hand to his forehead. \"I probably am going to get some kind of powers too.\" he complains. \"The guy who hates something /always/ ends up being a part of it, it's the most cliche twist in history.\" He looks just miserable at the prospect. \"And I bet the serial killer is going to go after the /kids/ of the women next, and they'll have increased likelihood of developing these abilities, and", "base_doc": " and her ski masked pals dumped a dying dog on your floor - has been astonishingly, amazingly wrong on every possible level.

Elena saved my life. And if you had /talked/ to them before any of this actually started. You wouldn't be able to think that this was some plot. They even went through the police and the district attorney. It's not because we share the same secret that I trust Ramon and Elena. It goes a lot deeper than that.\" She studies her friend for a moment. \"Look, I get you don't believe what I do, but there's more to it than us being the crazy people you think we are for it.\"\n\nLee says, \"It's not that, not anymore, I believe there are people out there with weird abilities, and yeah, maybe there's a serial killer who can control minds out there. Why not?\" he adds sardonically, like that would be just right in line with everything else he's experienced. \"If a case falls through the cracks with the police, there are a lot of choices, but on the 'reasonable, non-fucking-crazy' list of options, you will not find, 'become a gun-toting vigilante.'\" He shakes his head, subsiding. \"I'm glad she saved your life - that does make the whole thing slightly less than a /complete/ disaster.\" he admits. \"And like I say. I don't have a choice about what's happening, so why complain. I'll just watch until the next 'twist' comes along.\"\n\nThere's a distinct raise in eyebrow when Lee admits that he believes the same thing that they do. Now that's something Cass never thought she'd hear. \"What made you change your mind about it?\" She'll ignore the sardonic and sarcastic tone from him, that's just Lee. If she took everything he said to heart, they would never have made it past their first meeting. \"He's /not/, though. Oh, I don't know. Lots of things have been turned around lately.\" What she /will/ get adamant about is his resigned attitude. \"Oh, /please/, Lee. Don't give me any crap about not having a choice about anything. You're the most opinionated man I know. Of course you have a choice.\"\n\nLee says, \"I should have seen it coming once I saw the eyepatch.\" with a smile that would be a sneer if it were less unhappy. He shrugs: \"I got proof they exist from someone. I can't really tell you more, but if you think about how dreadfully trite a reveal like that is you can probably narrow it down to a list of three or four. You know\u2026\" He lowers his voice again, but this time it's not to keep others from hearing. \"My whole childhood I felt abandoned because I thought my parents loved fictional people with strange powers more than me. Then\u2026I get over it. I grow out of thinking that. I move on. Still hate comic books, but hey, there are better books in town. And now I find out it's /real/. And my parents /were/ involved in it. And Christ. I just want to break something with a golf club.\"\n\n\"Oh, is he sporting the eyepatch now?\" Cass hasn't even managed to see him for that. She's already making him one of her own with a bit of a pirate-y flair, but that's the sort of thing that's lost on Lee. \"You're talking to a woman who owns an occult bookstore.\" While it doesn't go as deep as Lee's entire life, it's at least a start of some understanding. \"It's weird, isn't it? That feeling that the impossible really /is/ possible? Wondering what else we've been proving to ourselves is false is actually true.\" Finally, her arms drop from being wrapped around herself and she just kind of stuffs them into her pockets. \"It's okay, I understand that this is one of things you can't just talk to other people about. But, you can let that person know that I'm trying to help people like them here. Give them a place to test what they can do. That's what this place is actually for, though it is kind of handy as a safehouse.\" Pause. \"And that goes for you, too. If you want to learn more about this or see more of it in action, the door's always open. You know the code.\"\n\nLee says, \"They've got a pretty good handle on it. A lot better than me.\" He shakes his head. \"It's more than weird. It's\u2026disappointing. Soul-suckingly /Literal/. Like Moby Dick was just a story about a whale. What good is a myth to me /now/?\" It really has offended him. He's not just being a jerk.\n\n\"For you, then,\" Cass gives him a weak smile. Just in case he wants a place to come to terms with it all. \"Wait, there was /meaning/ behind Moby Dick?\" she teases him gently before quickly moving onto the topic at hand. \"There's still myth and poetry and in betweens. I mean, just because /some/ people can actually fly and come back to life and heal and do all the things in myth doesn't mean that everyone can. I kind of find it comforting. To know that anything actually /is/ possible. It's not just one of those things you stitch into a pillow.\"\n\nLee says, \"It pisses me off. Just so you know why I'm in such a foul mood about it.\" He smirks. \"I have to come here. My father's here. But that brings us back to where we were before. Let's just say if I\u2026oh /god/.\" he moans, putting his hand to his forehead. \"I probably am going to get some kind of powers too.\" he complains. \"The guy who hates something /always/ ends up being a part of it, it's the most cliche twist in history.\" He looks just miserable at the prospect. \"And I bet the serial killer is going to go after the /kids/ of the women next, and they'll have increased likelihood of developing these abilities, and we'll think he's dead, but he's not, and we'll think he's dead again, but he won't be, and we'll get all the way through that and still nobody will have figured out how the hell the mysterious company was planning to actually make dime one on the deal.\"\n\n\"I can see that,\" Cass says with no", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 106470, "pt_loc": 139646725, "pt_shuffle_idx": 225519432, "doc_index_f": 353512802, "doc_index_l": 353512802, "offset_f": 1297, "offset_l": 3345, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 73, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": " - get the most out of that tuition check, heh.\n 9.

The pad--and a plastic pen--were all Ravkind carried with him Tuesday while appearing before a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. There was no point in arming himself with the voluminous briefs and reference books that attorneys typically bring for comfort to the high-ceilinged chamber, Ravkind said. By now, he is intimately familiar with the case of the United States of America vs. Albert Louis Lipscomb.\n\nAnd judging by the reactions of the appeals court judges, one of the most controversial public corruption cases in Dallas history may not be over just yet.\n\nLipscomb, the aging civil rights firebrand and former Dallas City Council member, is now serving 41 months under house arrest. But in hearing his appeal, the panel was not primarily concerned with whether Lipscomb deserved to be convicted for taking bribes from Yellow Cab owner Floyd Richards. Nor did the three judges, all white men recognized as conservative jurists, particularly care about the hypercharged racial tension that engulfed Dallas after Lipscomb's indictment and during his prosecution.\n\nA jury found former Dallas City Council member Al Lipscomb guilty of taking bribes from a taxi company owner. The question is whether that was a federal crime.\nHenry Bargas\n\nRather, the judges are being asked to decide if Lipscomb was convicted properly. Only they know whether they might ultimately decide to throw out Lipscomb's conviction, but Lipscomb's attorneys advanced two arguments for overturning the case that seemed to gain traction with the judges as the hearing progressed.\n\nThe first was whether the federal government had any business prosecuting Lipscomb for corruption in the first place. Attorney Shirley Baccus-Lobel, appearing on Lipscomb's behalf, argued that what Lipscomb did, if it was a crime at all, was certainly not a federal crime. Lipscomb was convicted of taking cash payments from Richards in exchange for changing his stance on local regulations affecting the taxicab industry. No federal money was involved in the corruption scheme, Baccus-Lobel pointed out, and the federal government does not typically care how a city regulates its taxicabs. Former U.S. Attorney Paul Coggins' office stretched too far in indicting Lipscomb, she contended, repeating an argument that was rejected by U.S. District Judge Joe Kendall when he declined to dismiss the case before it went to trial.\n\nWhen Assistant U.S. Attorney Susan Cowger rose to respond to that argument, she was immediately challenged by Presiding Judge Jerry Smith, who expressed skepticism that there was a legitimate reason for the federal government to care about the bribery scheme. \"This case didn't have anything to do with federal funds, did it?\" Smith asked.\n\nCowger argued that Lipscomb's acceptance of money from Richards rose to the level of a federal crime because Richards' cabs serviced Love Field, which receives federal money.\n\n\"Is that really the best you can do to show us a connection [to federal funds]?\" Smith asked Cowger. Well, Cowger responded, there was also the more general notion that the city of Dallas receives millions in federal funds for all sorts of purposes. Since Lipscomb sat on the City Council, and the council voted on how to spend that money, Cowger argued, \"he was in a position where the federal government has an interest in policing for corruption.\"\n\nSo the more general a public official's responsibility for divvying up federal funds, the less need there is for the government to show a direct link between corruption and specific federal funds? asked Judge Jacques Wiener. \"I think the federal government has a valid interest,\" Cowger replied.\n\nThe government's attorney met equally sharp, though more jocular, questioning over the transfer of Lipscomb's trial from Dallas to Amarillo.\n\nBefore Lipscomb's trial began, Kendall decided to move the proceedings to the Texas Panhandle city, though neither the defense nor the government asked for the transfer. In his arguments before the appeals judges, Ravkind noted that Kendall held no hearings to see if a fair trial was possible in Dallas before making the decision to leave town.\n\n\"In the real world, which I hope we're all living in, this jury could have been selected in Dallas,\" Ravkind argued. \"The citizen accused is entitled to be tried by the peers where he lives.\" Moving the trial, Ravkind said, deprived Lipscomb of a crucial argument in his defense--Dallas jurors would have better understood that black civil rights leaders had to take money secretly from white businessmen in order to retain their credibility in the black community. That's just how things in Dallas are done.\n\nWhen Cowger addressed the transfer question, she was again strafed by two of the appeals judges. Kendall was well within his discretion to move the trial, Cowger argued, because publicity about the case would have made it hard to find an impartial jury in Dallas. Jury selection alone, she said, might have taken up to three weeks.\n\n\"You're talking to us in a place where trying corrupt public officials is a cottage industry,\" joked Wiener, Louisiana born and bred. Three weeks to pick a jury, the judge noted, did not sound like a particularly burdensome task.\n\nBut it was Judge John Duhe Jr. who seemed most vexed, noting that Kendall failed to hold hearings or establish any record to show why the trial needed to be moved. \"Did he just divine out of thin air that it was going to be hard to find a jury [in Dallas]?\" Duhe asked. \"Without a record, how can we review what the trial judge did?

We will look at the seventeenth century as a period of blossoming creativity, but examining the contributions of other major scientists of this rich period in history. We will take a quick trip through the life of Isaac Newton through a resume, stopping to look more closely at events which led to the publication of his life's work.\n\nAfter a short focus on vectors, we will see Newton's laws of motion from a slightly different perspective which is intended to compliment the material in the textbooks and on the video program. Finally we will present in outline form, background information on the premises and assumptions of the Newtonian paradigm and its wide ranging influences.\n\nThe Seventeenth Century\nCurriculum Vitae\nNewton's Laws\nNewtonian Paradigm\n\n1. Introduction\n\nThis is a rather long lesson. This is because the life of a man whose influence was so widespread in both space and time is impossible to chronicle in detail in any time frame. We have presented information in such a way that you should be able to place it in context without being overwhelmed by it. If you begin to feel overwhelmed, go back and look at the lesson objective to keep it in perspective.\n\nThe place of Sir Isaac Newton in history is well justified, both for his scientific contributions and also for the effect that his viewpoints have had on subsequent thought.\n\nNo one since Aristotle has had such influence on a global world view. Unlike Aristotle, who work was speculative although brilliant, Newton developed precise mathematical tool, specific definitions of mass, space, and time, and employed a variety of inductive and deductive techniques to answer the question of the ages regarding the motion of the planets. In doing so he removed the last trace of Aristotle's authority on matters of motion and cosmology, set a new way of thinking about the universe, established the Copernican system with planets moving according to Kepler's laws, described using Galileo's kinematics.\n\nNewton's synthesis of gravity ranks as one of the greatest, if not the greatest achievements of the human mind in its conceptual simplicity, its logical and mathematical elegance, its potential to describe complexity in simple terms, and the paradigm shift which it culminated.\n\n1.1. One of History's Greatest Thinkers\n\nNewton's writings on gravity and motion show an extraordinary intelligence and talent for logical discourse and for rationalizing intuition about the physical world. Newton's laws, simply and concisely stated in three sentences, are the basis for all of physics.

We will look at the seventeenth century as a period of blossoming creativity, but examining the contributions of other major scientists of this rich period in history. We will take a quick trip through the life of Isaac Newton through a resume, stopping to look more closely at events which led to the publication of his life's work.\n\nAfter a short focus on vectors, we will see Newton's laws of motion from a slightly different perspective which is intended to compliment the material in the textbooks and on the video program. Finally we will present in outline form, background information on the premises and assumptions of the Newtonian paradigm and its wide ranging influences.\n\nThe Seventeenth Century\nCurriculum Vitae\nNewton's Laws\nNewtonian Paradigm\n\n1. Introduction\n\nThis is a rather long lesson. This is because the life of a man whose influence was so widespread in both space and time is impossible to chronicle in detail in any time frame. We have presented information in such a way that you should be able to place it in context without being overwhelmed by it. If you begin to feel overwhelmed, go back and look at the lesson objective to keep it in perspective.\n\nThe place of Sir Isaac Newton in history is well justified, both for his scientific contributions and also for the effect that his viewpoints have had on subsequent thought.\n\nNo one since Aristotle has had such influence on a global world view. Unlike Aristotle, who work was speculative although brilliant, Newton developed precise mathematical tool, specific definitions of mass, space, and time, and employed a variety of inductive and deductive techniques to answer the question of the ages regarding the motion of the planets. In doing so he removed the last trace of Aristotle's authority on matters of motion and cosmology, set a new way of thinking about the universe, established the Copernican system with planets moving according to Kepler's laws, described using Galileo's kinematics.\n\nNewton's synthesis of gravity ranks as one of the greatest, if not the greatest achievements of the human mind in its conceptual simplicity, its logical and mathematical elegance, its potential to describe complexity in simple terms, and the paradigm shift which it culminated.\n\n1.1. One of History's Greatest Thinkers\n\nNewton's writings on gravity and motion show an extraordinary intelligence and talent for logical discourse and for rationalizing intuition about the physical world. Newton's laws, simply and concisely stated in three sentences, are the basis for all of physics. These, along with an equally concise law of gravitation, form the most complete formal system for describing forces and motion ever stated. Everything from the stresses on a bridge to the orbital characteristics of satellites stem from Newton's laws. We are able to calculate the masses of the sun, planets, and even distant stars using Newton's law of gravitation.\n\nThe mind of such a thinker is hard to envision. So great were Newton's powers of concentration and problem solving that he was revered almost as a Demigod in his native England and considered somewhat superhuman worldwide. His name brought images of intellect the way Einstein's name does to us today.\n\nThe similarity of the two great physicist's discoveries and their impact on their times is interesting. We encourage you to look in the library for biographies of the two men. Even if you don't read the books, look at the preface and introduction to see what their biographers have to say about them.

Several folks answered my call for more information about helping kids in this situation; one of the best links I was directed to was All Kinds of Minds.\n\nI am looking for more information, and you -- the readers of this blog -- are without a doubt the best resource I have. So I'm asking for help, advice, thoughts, experiences related to helping students with working memory issues to learn and gain confidence in academics.\n\nWhat are things that have worked for you? What hasn't? And it what ways can we turn a difficulty into a benefit when it comes to learning and loving to learn?\n\nLooking forward to hearing from you.\n\n\n 1. My son, now 12, has severe dyslexia and dysgraphia. He has extreme difficulty with reading and writing symbols, letters, and individual words in isolation, but if he considers a whole concept or is given something in context he does much better. So for instance, if he just looks at the word \"woods\" in isolation and tries to read it, he has difficulty. But if he is trying to read a passage written about the woods, he might substitute \"forest\" instead of \"woods\" (and not really recognize that they are two different-looking words) because he knows what it's trying to say through the context of the passage. Same thing in math, e.g. trying to do long division was a nightmare because although he understood the whole process of it, the \"simple\" math facts like 3+4 or 7-3 got him stuck along the way. What absolutely *did not* work for him was repeated attempts to pull him out and remedialize--the assumption was that he just needed to learn \"the basics\" better, by brute force memorization if necessary. This was not what he needed and he was falling further and further behind.\n\n He is now at or above grade-level in most topics, and for the first time in a long time he loves going to school. The accommodations provided by his IEP have made all the difference in the world (how long and hard I had to fight to actually get him a helpful IEP is another story) since he tends to get \"caught\" on certain basic steps in a process and that's where things go awry. So for math, he gets a multiplication chart. For writing at home and at school, he keeps a simple alphabet chart nearby - it helps him figure out what the correct shape of the letter is (p,d,b,q, etc.) because he knows the order of the letters and so he can find the right one. He gets a reader/writer for tests which are not actually on reading or writing, so that he can focus on the concepts and his answers rather than trying to struggle to even understand the question. Etc. etc.\n\n But most importantly, we and his fabulous teachers have worked hard to help him learn how HE can best use these tools for himself. At first he was struggling and embarrassed that his peers would call him stupid (lord help the person who ever says this to him!) but we've tried to emphasize that everybody uses tools for something, and he does also even though his tool set may be different than someone else's tools. Now he owns them, he makes them work in the way HE needs, and he's quite proud that he does. He's focused on what he CAN do rather than any limits. This is the number one thing that has boosted his confidence in himself, not to mention that his academics improved substantially from Ds and Fs to As and Bs. Quite frankly, I know he might never be able to recall simple math facts on the fly and he might always struggle with individual letters and isolated words, but we've all made peace with the fact that it's okay because the meaning and the process are more important.\n\n 2. Shelly\n First, I'm not a fan of All Kinds of Minds: details here:\n\n Second, a question: do you have a sense whether the working memory issue is isolated to particular domains? Different features of working memory are, to some extent, separable. Is it a problem with keeping things in mind? Verbal stuff, spatial stuff? Or in *manipulating* what's in mind?\n\n 3. @Angela\n\n Thanks for your comments. That \"owning\" the process/tools/learning is key; the trick is figuring out how to get there. Your comments help to inspire.\n\n\n Yes, the issues seem to be across the board from Verbal Memory (esp Story Memory), Visual (esp Design -- that's actually the most severe), and Working Verbal and Symbolic.\n\n Other considerations: The student is diagnosed dyslexic/dysgraphic; had late expressive verbal communication dev; and also is musically gifted, but has trouble reading music.\n\n\n 4. As an Intervention Specialist, I've had a lot of success building on the memory strategy using the method of loci. You can Google it and get all kinds of info., but in short, it's building on the visual memory strategy of location.\n\n Here's an example: If the student is struggling with spelling words, use a simple drawing (of a person, a house, a bird, anything you have on hand). Place the words in specific places on the drawing. If the spelling word is \"queen\" and your pictures is a person, you might add a crown and place the word queen in the crown. Add the other spelling words in strategic places. The student would work on studying the spelling words using the picture. When assessed on the words, the student could be cued with \"Remember where you placed the word queen on your drawing. Think of how it was spelled there.\"\n\n 5. gosh - i wish i could meet him.\n\n i know i'm crazy (as opposed to intelligently giving advice) - but i would just let him do his music. i would let him hang with you - when you do your music. i would let him swim in his element.\n\n when he's not swimming in music.. i'd have him listen to stories...topics that interest him. give him an ipod filled with audio books. watch ted talks. watch sal kahn's videos on math and science and whatever he asks for more of.\n\n i'd treat him to a buffet of topics in his most comfortable media - and let him find what he's dying to know more about - then give him more of that and switch up the media.\n\n crazy people who's books i keep reading are making me crazy. carol dweck just now.\n\n 6.

I went out to the car to get something and my neighbor was standing on her porch talking on her cordless. She called out to me \"Have you seen the news?\" I told her no, she motioned me over and I went into her house just in time to see the second plane hit the towers. We sat there and watched, horrified, until her mother came to pick her and her three kids up. Her husband was a long distance trucker at the time and he had called from Texas to tell her to go to her parents with the kids.\n\nI got calls from a number of my friends overseas and got e-mails from those who couldn't get through. Each one was the same \"Are you okay? I am so very sorry. Please stay safe.\"\n\nThere were so many heroes that day and so many of them never lived to receive the medals their valor so richly deserved.\n\nOur only hope lies in the education of our young people. Young people all over the world are leading revolutions to gain their freedom and create better lives free of the shadow of fanaticism for their countries. As we remember the heroes of 9/11 let us pray for the heroes of tomorrow. May they accomplish the dream of a world of people free to love one another without the constraints dictated by fanaticism, ignorance, racism and greed.\n\nNancy said...\n\nTrish, this was a beautiful post. I was home that day. The dh took the boy to school, came home and said he'd heard a radio report that a plane hit the World Trade Center. We figured that meant a small plane, an accident.

At the edge of the now somewhat larger clearing the alien was xenogutting in the indigo shadows of a drooping bush-tree. Since he hadn't furnished the house yet, Barnhart stretched out on the grass. Suddenly he sat upright and shot a glance at the alien. Could this sort of thing be regarded as restless activity?\n\nHe was safe so long as the aliens maintained their regular routine but if they started to deviate from it he was in trouble.\n\nHe tossed around on the velvet blades for some minutes.\n\nHe got to his feet.\n\nThe nap would have to be by-passed. As much as he resented the intrusion on his regular routine he would have to find some other natives. He had to know if all the aliens on the planet xenogutted each afternoon as he was having his nap.\n\nThe thought crossed his mind that he might not wake up some afternoon if his presence was causing the aliens to deviate dangerously from their norm.\n\nThe most unnerving thing about the village was that there were exactly ten houses and precisely one hundred inhabitants. Each house was 33.3 feet on a side. The surfaces were hand-hewn planking or flat-sided logs. There were four openings: each opposing two were alternately one foot and an alarming ten feet high. Barnhart couldn't see the roof. The buildings appeared square, so he supposed the houses were 33.3 feet tall.\n\nAt the end of the single packed, violet-earthed street facing up the road was a large sign of some unidentifiable metal bearing the legend in standard Galactic:\n\n\nBarnhart received the information unenthusiastically. He had never before encountered the term. The sign might as well have told him the place was a town of jabberwockies.\n\nThe single scarlet sun with its corona of spectrum frost was drawing low on the forest-covered horizon.

Ronald Wilson Reagan\n\nBorn in the USA (August 2014)\n\nIn the early days of America, farms were more or less self-sufficient. You could eat the food you grew, make clothes from the animals you raised, force your children to serve as cheap labor and discreetly worship a pagan harvest deity away from the prying eyes of nosy neighbors.\n\nModernization changed all that. As people settled the Midwest, farms were smaller and more specialized, making them less likely to provide all your dietary needs. People got accustomed to cheaper, sturdier manufactured clothes and goods. The annoying law said you had to send your kids to school, and nice Christian churches started to spring up all over the place.\n\nAll these services had to have a delivery point, so America needed towns like Tampico, Ill. There were farms 10 miles in any direction, but downtown Tampico had a bakery, a grocery, a short-line railroad stop, a post office and a few churches. The population probably got a lot bigger on the weekends, when everyone came in from the farms to see (and talk crap about) their neighbors.\n\nThey also probably shopped at the Pitney Variety Store, for all their dry goods needs. Jack Reagan worked there, and in 1911 he was renting a six-room apartment above the bakery across the street. On Feb. 6, his wife gave birth to their second son, right there in the apartment. The Reagans weren't Dutch, but they came from a part of Illinois that was lousy with them -- Jack grew up in Fulton on the Mississippi, which still boasts a windmill. He supposedly thought his kid looked like a \"fat little Dutchman,\" and the nickname stuck.\n\nRonald Reagan defeated an entire economic paradigm and starred in a movie with a chimpanzee. It's naturally interesting to see where such an amazing career began. Tampico is (cough) more humble today than it was in 1911 -- the population (800) is half the size, and the two-block downtown isn't exactly thriving. The Dutch Diner closed, the grain silo looks beat to hell and there isn't a dry goods store anymore.\n\nBut there is a museum. A very nice grandmother showed me around the bank that replaced the bakery; it's restored to a Depression-era look, when banks were at their absolute finest. There's also a room of Reagan memorabilia organized like the back room of an antique store. If you want, you can buy a T-shirt with a rainbow logo. Apparently, there was a double-rainbow right around the 1980 election, and someone snapped a photo so that one ribbon seems to end right on top of the apartment. Reagan supposedly kept the photo in his desk.\n\nAfter that, it was upstairs to the apartment. They have everything decorated and organized like the Reagans might have, so it's nice but not extravagant. In a tribute to either terrible design or Midwestern friendliness, the back porch has a window that opens directly into the apartment next door. Apparently baby Ron was passed through the window to the neighbors when his mom needed to run some errands, and they let you climb through if you want. And yet they won't let you re-enact Reagan's birth. Sigh.\n\nThe Reagans left the apartment a few months after Ron was born. They probably lost their cleaning deposit after having a kid in the front bedroom, but they needed more space. They moved to a house a few blocks away, which is still privately owned and not available for tours, no matter how hard you stare menacingly at the front door. But you can enjoy the nearby park where Ron and his brother used to play on the antique cannons. That childhood romping inspired maybe the ugliest statue of a president ever made.\n\nA few years later, Mr. Pitney sold his store, and the Reagans moved to Chicago. Jack was a hard-drinking guy with a spotty employment record, so relocations were a fact of life for the family -- the next few years they bounced around the state, even ending up back in Tampico after Pitney reacquired the business. The Reagans stayed over top of the dry goods store during their second stint, and now there\u2019s a Reagan mural painted on the side of the building where the store used to be.\n\nBut it was just another pit stop. In 1920, Pitney decided that he trusted Jack enough to open a store called the Fashion Boot Shop. The family headed northeast, to a town on the Rock River called Dixon. They rented a house for $15 a month. After three years, the rent got jacked up, and they moved again -- the Reagans had five homes in Dixon. But Ron considered the first home his favorite, and it's the one they bothered to save.\n\nThe Dixon site is fancier than the Tampico site. They have a separate building for a visitor center, and there's a nice informational video that can't be more than 30 years old, which is pretty good for a presidential site. Reagan visited Dixon in 1984 for his 73rd birthday. They renovated the home in advance of the party, and you're seeing the results today. The boys' bedroom was gussied up with boy-bedroom type things, and the dining room table is set the same way it was when Reagan ate there in 1984. Ron used to hide pennies under a tile near the fireplace, to keep them away from his older brother. He put a few more there on his visit, so they have the tile overturned. The could have left a few of Jack's empties around, but they didn't want to be totally authentic.\n\nThey share stories about the usual boyhood hijinks, but it's not a very big home. The whole experience takes about 30 minutes. I rounded out the day by driving to Lowell Park, where Reagan was a teenaged lifeguard. There might have been some kind of marker there, but it was pouring buckets. I was happy to sit in the car and stare at the river, like a frazzled private investigator wondering if the body would ever surface.\n\n\n \u2022 Jack Reagan is considered the second most influential Illinois shoe salesman, behind Al Bundy.\n \u2022 Reagan's brother was nicknamed \"Moon,\" allegedly after a popular cartoon character of the day. In reality, he was known for wearing assless chaps around the dry goods store.\n \u2022 Reagan got in trouble with the Dixon police for shooting off fireworks at one of the Rock River bridges. He was fined $14.85, which was almost a month's rent for his family. This was the most expensive case of Reagan messing with rockets until Star Wars.\n\nRonnie and Me (April 2014)\n\nIllinois has been dining out on Abraham Lincoln for decades, but only one president really came from state. Ronald Reagan was born in the farm town of Tampico. Thanks to an itinerant and hard-drinking dad, he got to live in a few parts of Illinois, each one earthier than the last. Reagan eventually built a career around Midwestern stereotypes: straightforward communication and a positive demeanor. He was so good at being Midwestern that he achieved the dream of many Midwesterners before him. He moved somewhere else.\n\nIn the middle of a California vacation, my wife and I woke up on a Friday and headed to the place where Reagan is buried. The only non-negotiable requirements I had for a California vacation were visits to the Reagan library and the Nixon library, the most prominent presidential sites on the West Coast.

Margurite says:\n\n It is your right to be addicted to any drug you wish.Most drugs that are illegal are because of the harm inflicted onothers while under their influence and the long term healthissues.Many that use these drugs do not have health coverage andbecome a burden on state and federal agencies to care forthem and cause the loss millions of dollars in tax payers fundsused for their care.I can see your point of view even though I do not agree with it.Its like those that say, I shouldnt be required to wear ahelmet when I ride my motorcycle!The reason for the helmet law was and is because when amotorcyclist is in an accident, several agencies of the stateand hospital systems have to pay the bills for these motoriststhat usually have no medical insurance.Let me ask you this: If you were to have a seizure and be in ahospital for 6 months due to your drug use, are you able topay your expenses or will your state, hospital system and thetaxpayers pay your expenses??Everyone that complains seems to be focused only on theirrights and could care less about the millions of dollars beingwasted on their needless medical expenses that rob thosethat really need the help because it drains the state andhospital systems of the operational funds to help those whoare sick instead of those not smart enough to not use drugsand screw their self up.If you are going to screw yourself up using drugs, sign a wavierso you can just die and get it over with. But you wont. Becauseafter you screw yourself up, you demand and feel you areowed the medical treatment that those that are sick may bedenied just because of your right to screw yourself up.You made a conscious choice to put your life in danger. Thesick dont have that option. And may not be able to get themedical help they need because the medical system isdrained by those invoking their right to do as they pleaseeven if robs others of their rights and medical treatments.All of you say you are right until your drugs catch up with you.Then its up to others to clean up after you and providethousands of dollars in funding which in most cases isneedless since you will just go back out and screw yourselfup invoking your rights again.Those on drugs I have met arent able to understand what I have said here. Anything that robs them of their right to do asthey please and removes their right to rob others of their rightsis unacceptable.We will never agree on this subject. You feel my tax dollars areto be used if you need them. I dont feel my tax dollars shouldbe used for addicts. But fortunate for you, I dont have a sayin it!This is one of your statements:I am asking why the sudden change in perception where before morphine was just a helpful cough medicine/pain suppressant it is now demonized without it being inherently bad in any way and is in fact helpful in many ways.Morphine is not harmless unless in a small dose. It was usedas a pain suppressant but most people became addicted to it.Morphine will shut your kidneys down if used on a regular basis.\n\n 3. Beverlee says:\n\n Deaths caused by marijuana?

Margurite says:\n\n It is your right to be addicted to any drug you wish.Most drugs that are illegal are because of the harm inflicted onothers while under their influence and the long term healthissues.Many that use these drugs do not have health coverage andbecome a burden on state and federal agencies to care forthem and cause the loss millions of dollars in tax payers fundsused for their care.I can see your point of view even though I do not agree with it.Its like those that say, I shouldnt be required to wear ahelmet when I ride my motorcycle!The reason for the helmet law was and is because when amotorcyclist is in an accident, several agencies of the stateand hospital systems have to pay the bills for these motoriststhat usually have no medical insurance.Let me ask you this: If you were to have a seizure and be in ahospital for 6 months due to your drug use, are you able topay your expenses or will your state, hospital system and thetaxpayers pay your expenses??Everyone that complains seems to be focused only on theirrights and could care less about the millions of dollars beingwasted on their needless medical expenses that rob thosethat really need the help because it drains the state andhospital systems of the operational funds to help those whoare sick instead of those not smart enough to not use drugsand screw their self up.If you are going to screw yourself up using drugs, sign a wavierso you can just die and get it over with. But you wont. Becauseafter you screw yourself up, you demand and feel you areowed the medical treatment that those that are sick may bedenied just because of your right to screw yourself up.You made a conscious choice to put your life in danger. Thesick dont have that option. And may not be able to get themedical help they need because the medical system isdrained by those invoking their right to do as they pleaseeven if robs others of their rights and medical treatments.All of you say you are right until your drugs catch up with you.Then its up to others to clean up after you and providethousands of dollars in funding which in most cases isneedless since you will just go back out and screw yourselfup invoking your rights again.Those on drugs I have met arent able to understand what I have said here. Anything that robs them of their right to do asthey please and removes their right to rob others of their rightsis unacceptable.We will never agree on this subject. You feel my tax dollars areto be used if you need them. I dont feel my tax dollars shouldbe used for addicts. But fortunate for you, I dont have a sayin it!This is one of your statements:I am asking why the sudden change in perception where before morphine was just a helpful cough medicine/pain suppressant it is now demonized without it being inherently bad in any way and is in fact helpful in many ways.Morphine is not harmless unless in a small dose. It was usedas a pain suppressant but most people became addicted to it.Morphine will shut your kidneys down if used on a regular basis.\n\n 3. Beverlee says:\n\n Deaths caused by marijuana?

It was a comrade. He insisted on their coming into the tavern with him, and breaking a bottle of wine. In course of conversation, he told Denys there was an insurrection in the Duke\u2019s Flemish provinces, and soldiers were ordered thither from all parts of Burgundy. \u201cIndeed, I marvelled to see thy face turned this way.\n\n\u201cI go to embrace my folk that I have not seen these three years.

And with many endearing expressions bade her to be of good cheer; some trouble and peril there had been, but all that was over now, and his only grief left was, that he could not hope to have a word from her hand till he should reach Rome.

Then Denys rudely repulsed the curious, and asked his comrade with a faltering voice whether he had the heart to let so sweet a love-letter miscarry?

For the sake of simplicity we populate only the routing table of each AODV node. Each record of the routing table is exported as the tuple . Table 1 depicts an example of the part of the trace file that is related to the routing protocol, according to the \u201cnewtrace\u201d file format (see NS-2 manual). At the end of the modified trace there is the \u201cPrt\u201d directive which carries information about the entries of the routing table for the corresponding node.\n\nOriginal part of the NS-2 trace file -P aodv -Pt 0x2 -Ph 1 -Pb 1 -Pd 8 -Pds 0 -Ps 7 -Pss 4 -Pc REQUEST\nPart of the NS-2 trace file after the modifications -P aodv -Pt 0x2 -Ph 1 -Pb 1 -Pd 8 -Pds 0 -Ps 7 -Pss 4 -Pc REQUEST -Prt (8,0,255,0)(1,5,255,0)\n\nTable 1 : Comparison of NS-2 trace file before and after AODV extensions for internal data introspection\n\nIn order to implement these changes to the NS-2 trace file we have modified the trace/cmu-trace.cc file as well as the aodv implementation so as to make it possible the serialization of the routing table inside the trace file.

This class should implement the Protocol interface, or equivalently subclass the DummyProtocol class. We opt for the second one, and override the methods createNode, copyNode, updateNode, getName and notifyEvent. Moreover it would be convenient to subclass the MobileNode class to provide a customized class for AODV nodes. This class will include the internal AODV data being exported in NS-2 trace files (the routing table in case of our example) as well as the parser for the AODV part of NS-2 trace file. Finally the classes should be put inside the java package extensions.routing.aodv. You can download the aodv extension implemenation from the download page.\n\nNext figure depicts an NS-2 simulation for the AODV routing protocol of 40 nodes at 1000*1000m terrain. The figure shows node 6 receiving a data packet from node 4.\n\nEXAMS programming model\n\nFigure 2: EXAMS terrain screenshot of an AODV network\n\n\nFigure 2 is a screenshot from the various tables with data which are available to the EXAMS user at the event depicted in Figure 1. Figure 2 is separated into four parts and each one represents four tables with data about the current event (see Figure 1 for the exact layout of EXAMS tables). In part 1 we can see the network statistics. It includes the total number of bytes sent in the routing and agent layer. In case of the agent layer EXAMS further analyzes it either to CBR or to TCP/ACK packets. In part 2 we can see some general data about the current node. As seen it includes the node\u2019s address, its current location and its internal counters for the layers described before. The \u201cLast update\u201d field refers to the last event concerning the current node, so it is an indication of the freshness of the data about that node. In part 3 the properties of the current transmission are shown. This includes the direction and the network level of the packet, its flow id, ip source and destination, current and next hop and finally packet size and type. Eventually in part 4 the routing protocol specific data are shown. As we can see, it involves the type of the packet according to the AODV semantics, the source and destination address, the source and destination sequence number and the hop counter. Up to this point all these data are provided by the standard trace files. However after the modification we have made to AODV tracing, it is possible to see the routing table of the current node. It is shown in the last lines of part 4. Each record is a tuple according to Table 2. For instance we can see that at current event, node 6 has a known route for node 39 which is 2 hops away and the next hop should be node 23.\n\nEXAMS programming model\n\nFigure 3: Simulation properties\n\n\nAnother characteristic of the network is the partitions it is split. Figure 3 illustrates each partition of the network with a different color which covers the whole area of the partition. As nodes are moving around, the partitions are recalculated and the user is able to see the whole radio range coverage. Summing up, we saw how we can use EXAMS to study the mobile ad-hoc protocol AODV. As AODV had already been implemented in NS-2, we added some extra code to its tracing module in order to include current node\u2019s routing table at the trace file. At a newly developed protocol this step could be part of the initial implementation and thus don\u2019t comprise an extra burden. Then we implemented the AODV Java class which handles the AODV specific issues inside EXAMS and the AODVNode class which incarnates an AODV node. It is interesting to mention that the Java code needed for the protocol implementation classes is about 160 lines for both the two classes. Figures 5, 6 and 7 provide some idea of the plenty of data provided about the simulation process as well as the visual environment of EXAMS. We believe that EXAMS is a useful tool which can exploit the human visual system and help the researcher to understand how a wireless protocol behaves under the NS-2 simulator while on the same time provides him all the vital information to conclude about the protocol internals. This information is crucial when each step of the simulation process should be investigated in detail as in case of debugging an under development protocol or making a rigorous study of an existing one.\n\nEXAMS programming model\n\nFigure 4: Network partitions\n\n\nNext \u00bb Download EXAMS<|endoftext|>Creativity Punch!

How do you prioritize the tasks you\u2019ve outlined in your task analysis?\n\nHow you prioritize your tasks is going to depend on several factors. Let\u2019s have a look at those factors and why they matter. And keep in mind, these factors are all subjective, and opinions for these will vary from one person to the next.\n\nFactor #1: Task Importance\n\nFirst, you want to consider the importance or significance of the task. The more critical the task, the higher it will go on your list of priorities. Importance or criticality of tasks is probably the most important factor to consider when you\u2019re looking at prioritizing all of your tasks.\n\nFactor #2: Task Frequence\n\nHow often is the task performed? If rarely, do you think learners are more or less likely to need training for it? If you guessed \u201cmore likely,\u201d then you\u2019re right, and those tasks should move up the list in terms of priority.\n\nFactor #3: Task Difficulty\n\nYou\u2019re also going to want to consider how difficult the task is to learn. If more difficult, it should be moved up in terms of priority and how much emphasis you put on it. If it\u2019s a very easy and straightforward task, you can spend less time focused on it.\n\nFactor #4:\u00a0Learner Experience\n\nSomething else to consider is how much experience the learners have with the tasks. If they have been doing a task day in and day out for a long time, its training priority will decrease, since the learners already know how to perform the task. Keep in mind that when you\u2019re thinking of learner experience, you should also consider whether they have done similar tasks.\n\nNext time you have a training project, look at your list of tasks and remember to assess where they fit in for each of the factors listed above. Hopefully these will help you prioritize those tasks in a way that makes sense for you and your learners. Do you have tips of your own about doing a task analysis or how to prioritize them? What tricks do you like to use? Let me know in the comments below.\n\n\nBe the first to comment<|endoftext|>Kola nuts are not only known for its origin to many American and European soft-drinks and its chewing by labourers to diminish hunger and fatigue, but even more for its sacred significance in Igboland.\n\nAttending a kola nut ceremony is almost inevitable for anyone visiting Enugu and is Igbo tradition at its best. Elder agree that once the 5-centimetre nuts are blessed with incantations, the visitors will feel ensured that they are welcome. People are more than willing to explain the ceremony, and where there is no kola nut available, the host will need to do the explanatory apology to his visitors. The kola nut tradition is used for a variety of events, but principally to welcome guests to a village or house.\n\nThe ceremony may vary depending on the occasion and people present at the ceremony, but there is a common understanding in the traditional way of breaking them. To illustrate this delicate ceremony, I will take the occasion of welcoming a group of visitors to a village. The host presents a plate with a number of Kola nuts (ranging from two up to sixteen) to the leader of the delegation, who will take the plate and shows it to the most senior member of his entourage. To acknowledge that he has seen the plate, he briefly touches the plate with his right hand, before it is shown to less senior members and so forth till most members have taken a glimpse of the plate. After that, the host gets the plate returned from the visitor and takes one of the kola nuts and gives it to the visitor while saying:\n\n\n\u2018\u00d6j\u00ef luo \u00fcn\u00f6 okwuo ebe osi bia.\u2019\nWhen the Kola nut reaches home, it will tell where it came from.\n\nThis proverb says that the visitor needs to show the kola nut to his people at home as a proof of having visited this village.\n\nIgbo Kola Nut Ceremony\n\n\nUsually, the oldest man among the host audience is asked to bless the kola nuts. He will take one of the nuts in his right hand and makes a blessing, prayer or toast using a proverb, e.g.\n\n\u2018Ihe d\u00ef mma onye n\u2019ach\u00f6, \u00f6 ga-af\u00fc ya.\u2019\nWhat ever good he is looking for, he will see it.\n\nSubsequently, the presenter or an appointed person breaks the kola nut with his hands or using a knife. An aid or close relative breaks the remaining nuts. The visitors now explain the purpose of their visit, while the kola parts are distributed to the people, occasionally coming along with palm wine, garden eggs and peanut butter.\n\nAs mentioned before, it is the breaking that is the significant part of the ceremony. The more parts the kola breaks up to, the more prosperity it gives to its presenter and visitors. Though there is one exception: if the nut yields only to two parts, it signifies no good as it signals that the presenter has a sinister motive behind the kola. Because of that, Kola nuts with only two parts are avoided for this ceremony and therefore the purple/reddish coloured nuts, cola acuminata are preferred over its greyish counterpart, the cola nitida, as the latter one only breaks up in two. Four parts coincide with the four market days of the Igbo week. Five or more broken parts mean prosperity for the family. In some parts of Igboland, when the kola breaks into six, a separate celebration is required and sometimes even including the slaughter of a goat.\n\nThere are many other rules surrounding the kola nut ceremony, which you can read in the books mentioned in the references. I will mention only a few more things: kola nut should only be presented with two hands at the same time, and also as the kola tree is associated with man, only men can climb and pluck the kola tree.

Each practitioner will define the field differently, and the definitions change with time. The connection of the field with the original missions of the Manhattan Project and the Atomic Energy Commission is obvious: understanding the flow of energy during transformation and reactions of nuclei in nuclear reactions and identification of the pathways and controlling factors of nuclear reactions form the central concern of nuclear science. However, a reasonable question is: \"How does nuclear chemistry differ from nuclear physics?\" In the first few decades of the fields, the answer was clearly defined. Nuclear physicists used physical methods to probe nuclear reactions: They measured things. They measured absorption and emission spectra in regions of the electromagnetic spectrum from the visible to the gamma-ray. They measured nuclear magnetic moments, nuclear masses, etc. Nuclear chemists, on the other hand, were chemists. They exploited the chemical properties of compounds into which different elements and isotopes were bound to separate radioisotopes in order to identify products and product yields of nuclear reactions. They also used the sensitive counting methods developed for nuclear physics to follow chemical reactions. The latter gave rise to radiochemistry and hot-atom chemistry.\n\n\nTop of Page\n\nLast Modified: June 28, 2012<|endoftext|>First National Bank\n\nFirst National Bank (HM1QK7)\n\nLocation: Fort Smith, AR 72901 Sebastian County\nCountry: United States of America\n\nN 35\u00b0 23.247', W 94\u00b0 25.52'\n\n \u2022 0 check ins\n \u2022 0 favorites\nIn 1888, First National Bank built its first bank building, a modest two-story brick building at South Sixth and Garrison.

He will take one of the nuts in his right hand and makes a blessing, prayer or toast using a proverb, e.g.\n\n\u2018Ihe d\u00ef mma onye n\u2019ach\u00f6, \u00f6 ga-af\u00fc ya.\u2019\nWhat ever good he is looking for, he will see it.\n\nSubsequently, the presenter or an appointed person breaks the kola nut with his hands or using a knife. An aid or close relative breaks the remaining nuts. The visitors now explain the purpose of their visit, while the kola parts are distributed to the people, occasionally coming along with palm wine, garden eggs and peanut butter.\n\nAs mentioned before, it is the breaking that is the significant part of the ceremony. The more parts the kola breaks up to, the more prosperity it gives to its presenter and visitors. Though there is one exception: if the nut yields only to two parts, it signifies no good as it signals that the presenter has a sinister motive behind the kola. Because of that, Kola nuts with only two parts are avoided for this ceremony and therefore the purple/reddish coloured nuts, cola acuminata are preferred over its greyish counterpart, the cola nitida, as the latter one only breaks up in two. Four parts coincide with the four market days of the Igbo week. Five or more broken parts mean prosperity for the family. In some parts of Igboland, when the kola breaks into six, a separate celebration is required and sometimes even including the slaughter of a goat.\n\nThere are many other rules surrounding the kola nut ceremony, which you can read in the books mentioned in the references. I will mention only a few more things: kola nut should only be presented with two hands at the same time, and also as the kola tree is associated with man, only men can climb and pluck the kola tree.

Each practitioner will define the field differently, and the definitions change with time. The connection of the field with the original missions of the Manhattan Project and the Atomic Energy Commission is obvious: understanding the flow of energy during transformation and reactions of nuclei in nuclear reactions and identification of the pathways and controlling factors of nuclear reactions form the central concern of nuclear science. However, a reasonable question is: \"How does nuclear chemistry differ from nuclear physics?\" In the first few decades of the fields, the answer was clearly defined. Nuclear physicists used physical methods to probe nuclear reactions: They measured things. They measured absorption and emission spectra in regions of the electromagnetic spectrum from the visible to the gamma-ray. They measured nuclear magnetic moments, nuclear masses, etc. Nuclear chemists, on the other hand, were chemists. They exploited the chemical properties of compounds into which different elements and isotopes were bound to separate radioisotopes in order to identify products and product yields of nuclear reactions. They also used the sensitive counting methods developed for nuclear physics to follow chemical reactions. The latter gave rise to radiochemistry and hot-atom chemistry.\n\n\nTop of Page\n\nLast Modified: June 28, 2012<|endoftext|>First National Bank\n\nFirst National Bank (HM1QK7)\n\nLocation: Fort Smith, AR 72901 Sebastian County\nCountry: United States of America\n\nN 35\u00b0 23.247', W 94\u00b0 25.52'\n\n \u2022 0 check ins\n \u2022 0 favorites\nIn 1888, First National Bank built its first bank building, a modest two-story brick building at South Sixth and Garrison. A few years into the 20th century, bank president Samuel McLoud ordered plans drawn up for what would be the tallest building in Fort Smith to replace the old bank. The new building would utilize the most modern designs to ensure customer comfort, efficiency of operation and the protection of deposits. The landmark eight-story First National Bank building opened Jan. 31, 1910, the lobby awash in white marble, electric lights and ceiling fans, the custom tile floor accessorized with heavy brass spittoons.

Previous assumptions for diversification in genital morphology were based on species isolation and pleiotropy, but subsequent comparative research has failed to support these hypotheses. Recent comparative and experimental research has proposed sexual selection to be the most likely driver of rapid and divergent evolution of genitalia, either via sperm competition, cryptic female choice, or sexual conflict. Sexual conflict may drive genital evolution through opposing selection of male and female reproductive strategies as genital adaptations that allow males a competitive advantage may consequently reduce female fitness leading to an evolutionary arms race via sexually antagonistic co-evolution (SAC). Lichen tuft moths of the genus Izatha (Lepidoptera: Oecophoridae) are excellent candidates for exploring the potential for sexual conflict to drive genital evolution, as some males have detachable spines (deciduous cornuti) which are ejected into the female reproductive tract during their first mating, apparently causing damage. Some species lack deciduous cornuti, but have permanently attached sclerotised teeth on the phallus, whilst others lack these structures all together. Here I present a molecular and morphological phylogenetic analysis of the genus that provides insight into the evolution of these complex genitalic adaptations. Genital complexity appears to have evolved along multiple paths, via the modification of different genital structures.\u00a0 Izatha therefore may represent an ideal model for the study of genital evolution.\n\nDownload (PDF)<|endoftext|>The following are multiple choice questions (with answers) about miscellaneous.\n\nAfter Prince Charles who is next in line to be the king of England?\nA.

St. Mary's is a relatively small school among AACSB-accredited schools. What special challenges do you think smaller schools face in meeting the accreditation standards?\n\nSingh: [00:29] It is a perfect question because if you think about it, small schools, more so today than ever before, are being asked to do more. They're being asked to do more with less. You have to be good corporate citizens.\n\n[00:44] Of course, at the same time, you have to show that you are innovative, that you are showing engagement, that you're showing impact, all within the constraints of, say, fewer resources from a faculty perspective. There might be fewer financial resources, and yet, you have to meet the same standards as anybody else. Those are some of the biggest challenges they face.\n\n[01:04] Most of the time when I am doing these visits with other schools, faculty sufficiency is a question because you have fewer faculty, and yet you are teaching lots of courses. Focus for small schools is really, really important. What is it that you do and what is it that you want to be differentiated for?\n\nClements: [01:23] You mentioned faculty sufficiency. Are there other particular standards that are maybe bigger challenges for smaller schools?\n\nSingh: [01:31] Yes, there are. If you look at, for example, the idea of these days the mission part is really important. The innovation part is really important. The engagement part is really important. Sometimes what happens is, in their rush to do a lot of things, they don't do some of these things well.\n\n[01:51] When you're trying to be everything to everybody, so you have multiple programs, and you have multiple centers, and you have multiple initiatives going on, you're not doing them well. That can be, sometimes, a challenge about being able to demonstrate that what you are doing is mission-specific and that it has the impact and the intention that was in the original charter.\n\n[02:14] You hear the term \"mission creep\" and then \"mission mystery.\" Both of those things are so true for small schools.\n\nC", "base_doc": " myself that pain all day, delaying the inevitable.

Authors: Hager, Audrey Abstract: Synaptic plasticity (long-term potentiation, LTP and long-term depression, LTD) plays an important role in processes of learning and memory formation. In order to provide a link between these neurophysiological and cognitive processes the following experiments were performed using behavioral, electrophysiological, and pharmacological in vivo methods in order to describe synaptic plasticity in the adult rat visual system after learning a simple visual discrimination task. Initially, a novel method is described providing a simple and noninvasive means to restrict visual input. Using a harness and face-mask for monocular occlusion, rats were trained in a monocular visual discrimination task using a Y-shaped water maze. Following learning, assessment of synaptic plasticity in the thalamocortical visual pathway found both general (changes in short-term plasticity in both cerebral hemispheres) and localized changes (greater LTP levels in the hemisphere contralateral to the open eye). The enhanced LTP in the primary visual cortex (V1) was blocked by an NR2B antagonist, suggesting that training resulted in changes in NMDA receptor expression or functioning. Next, the effectiveness of LTD stimulation protocols to elicit synaptic depression under in vivo conditions were assessed. Of several single-pulse induction protocols tested, only strong low frequency burst stimulation (SLFS) produced significant, but transient (~20 min) depression in V1 (not affected by blockade of NMDA or metabotrobic glutamate receptors). These data highlight the resistance of the thalamocortical visual system to undergo synaptic depression in vivo. To examine whether learning alters LTD induction, SLFS was delivered to the thalamocortical visual pathway or the V1-perirhinal cortex pathway following visual discrimination. Neither pathway exhibited changes in LTD following training, suggesting that the learning-induced LTP facilitation reflects an expansion of the synaptic modification range. Finally, the role of different populations of NMDA receptors (cortical vs. thalamic) in LTP induction in na\u00efve and visually trained rats was examined. Surprisingly, na\u00efve rats do not require activation of cortical NMDA receptors to express LTP, while LTP in trained rats involved the activation of both thalamic and cortical NMDA receptors. In summary, this thesis provides novel evidence for a metaplastic, training-induced up-regulation of LTP mechanisms in the thalamocortical visual system of adult rats.

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the word \"porridge\" did not come into use until the 17th century but porridge like dishes are thought to have been made in Neolithic times by boiling ground, crushed, or chopped cereal in water, milk. The Gaelic word for porridge is \u201cleite\u201d although it goes by other names including 'milgruel' in Shetland. It is generally defined as a dish made by stirring oatmeal or rolled oats into boiling water and simmering the mixture gently until it is cooked. Scot\u2019s porridge is usually eaten hot for breakfast with optional flavourings and may be sweetened with sugar or honey. Traditionally it was eaten with salt. Eating porridge in cold countries is thought to keep the body warm during the long winter months.\n\nReference to Porridge appears in the \"Vinaya\" texts and the Lord Buddha considered the dish to have five benefits. The Five Endurances (Wuchang) were: overnight digestion, reduced flatulence, the quenching of thirst, the suppression of hunger and reduced constipation.\n\nClimatic conditions meant oats and barley were the predominant crops to grow in the North of Scotland. Despite this oats did not predominate until the eighteenth century, thereafter it played an increasing role in the diet. This was especially true in rural areas where oatmeal often formed the basis of every meal. In 1794, Joseph. Donaldson observed the eating habits of farm labourers in the Carse of Gowie, and described oatmeal with milk cooked in different ways, was the sole source of sustenance throughout the year. Scottish emigrants took their food preferences to many far-flung corners of the globe.\n\nUnflaked oatmeal had to soften to become edible, so it had to be cooked for a long time. The wooden spurtle (parritch stick or thivel) was used to stir it frequently to prevent the formation of large lumps. Traditionally Scots\u2019 used a spurtle to stir the pot. It was important to always stir deiseal (clockwise/sunwise) with the right hand for luck. Stirring widdershins (anticlockwise) was said to invoke the devil or bring bad luck. Good bairns were often rewarded by having the spurtle to lick in addition to their share of the breakfast. The following is one verse of a song entitled 'Our gudeman came hame at e'en.' collected by David Herd in 1776.\n\nOur gudeman came hame at e'en,\nAnd hame came he,\nAnd there he saw a shining sword\nWhere nae sword should be:\nWhat's this now, gudewife,\nAnd what's this I see ?\nO how came this sword here\nWithout the leave o' me ?\nA sword! quo' she,\u2014aye, a sword! quo' he.\nShame fa' yere cuckold face,\nAnd waur may ye see,\nIt's but a porridge spurtle\nMy mither sent to me.\nA spurtle! quo' he,\u2014aye, a spurtle ! quo' she.\nFar hae I ridden, love,\nAnd meikle hae I seen,\nBut silver hiked spurtles\nSaw I never nane.\n\nOat grains are available as whole grains or groats. These are ground into oatmeal and steamed and rolled into flakes of varying thickness. These can be steel-cut, or toasted and stone-ground (Macroom Oatmeal). Rolled oats are used for many purposes; the bigger the flakes, the chewier the porridge. Toasting the oats beforehand for a couple of minutes gives the finished dish a distinctly nutty, roasted flavour. Choose rolled oats if you want a smooth consistency and a porridge that cooks quickly. Rolled oats have a medium grain and are used for oatcakes, biscuits and stuffing. Scottish traditionalists allow only oats, water and salt although full-fat milk makes a rich porridge. A ratio of one part of milk to two of water has been recommended as a happy medium. A little salt added towards the end of cooking is essential, whether or not the porridge is sweetened. Adding the salt too early hardens the grain, preventing it from swelling, and results in a less creamy bowl of porridge. Traditionally the mixture is said to whisper \u2018Perth\u2019 and \u2018Gargunnock\u2019 in a gentle simmering way when it\u2019s ready. Letting the porridge sit, lidded, for 5 to 15 minutes may develop a little more flavour.\n\nPorridge is highly nutritious because oatmeal contains protein, carbohydrate, fats, and soluble fibre, all the B vitamins, vitamin E, calcium, and iron. The lack of vitamins A, C, and D is redressed when it is combined with milk or vegetables. Oats are a slow release carbohydrate and perfect for a low G.I. diet. Research also shows they are also useful for lowering cholesterol. Porridge was customarily eaten while standing, but the reasons remain obscure. Some believe it helped fill the stomach \"A staunin' sack fills the fu'est\" (A standing sack fills the fullest), while others consider it as a precaution in times when an enemy may catch them unawares.\n\nThe oats used for porridge determine how hearty the final dish will be and how long to cook; the finer the oats the quicker the cooking time. The oats used for porridge are usually rolled rather than crushed and Scottish oats, also known as \"pinhead oats\" and are the ones used for Scottish porridge.This simplified the preparation of porridge and all oat-based dishes. In 1877 the Quaker Oats Company of the United States developed rolled oats or oatflakes by steaming and rolling the coarsest grade of oatmeal to produce pinhead oatmeal. Today\u2019s muesli is a derivative of the Scottish porridge.\n\nIn the past the basic mixture allowed for numerous permutations, all with their own nomenclature according to locality. Brose was made by pouring boiling water over oatmeal, butter, and salt: with meat stock it became fat brose, while the addition of a green vegetable gave kail brose.

Gruel was made by boiling the liquid that oats had soaked in, flavoring it with assorted ingredients and allowing it to cool to a jellylike substance. To make sowans, oat husks were soaked until sour, at which point the mixture was sieved and the husks thrown out. The liquid was a pleasant drink and the starchy sediment underneath was boiled and eaten either hot or cold, with milk, cream, or beer again served separately.\n\nOnce cooked, the porridge was ladled into porringers (bowls) with a separate bowl of milk, buttermilk, or thin cream close by.

A panda skin was discovered in December along with 9.75 kilograms of meat, four bones and a gallbladder, state broadcaster CCTV reported. While there is a thriving black market trade in exotic animal parts in China, it is unusual to hear of panda meat being sold.\n\nPolice found two brothers had shot the animal in forest near Zhaotong, a poverty-stricken city in China's Yunnan province, it said. Images showed the black and white skin - said to be that of an adult female - laid out on a floor alongside a tape measure. CCTV said a person who bought the animal's meat from the brothers had also been detained. The identities of the other seven people held, and their connections to the case, were not stated. Under Chinese law, killing protected animals such as pandas can result in a jail sentence of up to 10 years. China is home to 1,864 wild giant pandas according to state-run media, with a government agency crediting conservation measures for an increase of 17 percent over the decade to 2013. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature classes them as \u2018endangered\u2019. The giant panda's natural habitat mostly lies in mountainous southwestern China. They have a notoriously low reproductive rate and are under pressure from factors such as habitat loss.<|endoftext|>Great Social Media Idea: Ain't No Party Like a Listicle Party\n\nLike any self-respecting internet snob, I find myself the embodiment of dear old Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy when it comes to slideshow/listicle click bait: \"Tolerable, I suppose, but not handsome enough to tempt me.\" I understand their value and - with apologies to 'Sheed - click don't lie, but I do lament in many ways how the internet is so thoroughly in their grips, especially when just a week ago The Oregonian (my hometown newspaper) announced it is laying off half of its newsroom, slashing home delivery to four days a week, and is transitioning to a new \"digital\" model, which doubtless will borrow best SEO practices from BuzzFeed, Huffington Post, Bleacher Report, and the like.

In 2017 it imposed an annual cap of 500,000 barrels on refined petroleum imports.\n\nChina and Russia are the only countries to have notified the Security Council's North Korea sanctions committee of refined petroleum exports to Pyongyang, but they did so in tonnes instead of barrels and the committee has been unable to agree on a conversion rate so it can determine when the cap was reached.\n\n\"Despite numerous attempts - the issue has been on the agenda for no less than three years - to find an agreement on a conversion rate, Russia and China have been stalling the process,\" German U.N. Ambassador Christoph Heusgen, chairman of the sanctions committee, told reporters.\n\n\"While this shouldn't be a complicated matter to solve, it has become clear that the two delegations are politicizing this topic,\" Heusgen said, after raising the issue behind closed doors in a formal Security Council meeting.\n\nThe Russian mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment.\n\nA spokesperson for China's U.N. mission said the U.N. resolution imposing the refined petroleum cap does not specify what unit of measurement should be used and that negotiations on a conversion rate involve \"complicated technical issues\" and \"it's normal that relevant parties have differences.\"\n\nThe spokesperson accused Germany of misusing its position as chair of the sanctions committee \"by continuously interrupting the ongoing in-depth exchange among relevant parties on this issue\", adding that such moves \"will never bring the committee any closer to an agreement.\"\n\nFor the past three years, the United States and dozens of allies have accused North Korea of breaching the fuel cap through illicit imports and called for an immediate halt to all deliveries.

An important distinction, because if education were actually mandatory, the state itself would have lots of 'splainin' to do.\n\nNow if the law is kind of silly, then why am I going to comply? Well, that speaks to what Elisheva wrote. Why am I going to comply with this nuisance paperwork? Why do I plan to comply with the testing requirements, which don't kick in until 3rd grade, even though I don't need to report the test results to anyone in the state? After all my noise about the American Community Survey, why am I going to follow these rules, when, as you must know if you read my blog regularly, I don't recognize them as legitimate functions of the government and which ideally should be repealed entirely?\n\nWell, I comply with a whole bunch of laws that I don't agree with or recognize as legitimate--taxes, for example. The consequences for not doing so are too high. However, I do always try to comply on my own terms as much as possible. To take the tax example, because we are self-employed, we don't have taxes withheld on a regular basis. We don't pay ahead of time like I think we're supposed to do. Basically, we settle up at tax time and write the governments their checks then. It's ugly, but at least they don't get to use our money all year long and they don't get more of our money than (they say) they are due, to use interest-free until the refund check is cut.\n\nSo I'm going to comply with the homeschooling laws--again, on my own terms, as much as possible. Although I really considered not complying, and know of many families who prefer to fly under the radar. Unlike the American Community Survey though, there are actual consequences to non-compliance, and I'm not willing to risk those consequences. There is a difference, I think, in blindly following a law since \"It's the LAW\" and carefully weighing out the risks and benefits of compliance and making your decision accordingly, even if you do end up complying. So that's what we've done here.\n\n\"On my own terms\" applies to the monthly attendance forms. Ryan seems to learn something just about every day of the week, and I'm not about to try to account for each moment of \"education\" simply to mark my kid as \"present\" on a form. So I'm filling all of the forms out ahead of time for the whole year and will send them in monthly as they are due. The way the law is written allows me to do that. More efficient use of my time anyway.\n\nAlso, I have recently joined the Board for one of our statewide homeschooling organizations, HEIR. One of HEIR's primary functions is to monitor our state legislators, to prevent them from \"helping\" us homeschoolers by passing more laws (and most times, the proposed laws are actually well-intended, even though they are fraught with dire consequences). I'm getting involved in HEIR now because I want to ensure that the level of homeschooling freedom I enjoy in Georgia does not shrink. Anything the legislators do now will most certainly impact my life. So I'm joining up, and for that reason, I think I should be in compliance. And joining the Board allows me to work for changes toward more freedom--I can advocate for the end of the attendance forms, for example--and in this way effect changes in a law that I dislike quite a bit.\n\nAlso, also--truancy. There haven't been too many truancy crackdowns (in my county at least), but our governor (Oh-He-Of-The-Rain-Dance) has made truancy a priority for his henchmen administration. My DOI--sigh, my paper--provides me with protection against overzealous government officials. And, happily, it also gets me education discounts at Barnes & Noble, so that's something!\n\nWow--I've been working on this post for a couple of days now, so I think I'll stop for now. Interesting to think about though.\n\n\nKelly said...\n\nVery thoughtful entry, Jenn. I'm really looking forward to hearing your thoughts as you move forward with homeschooling. You're forging a path I hope to follow in the future!\n\nC. August said...\n\nI agree completely with the strategy of complying with the laws in the most reasoned manner necessary. We're stuck with having to make this calculation in the horrendously mixed world we live in, so we need to make a choice about what laws are easy to and worth ignoring, and what objectionable laws are necessary to grudgingly comply with.\n\nWe have families to worry about, so we do what we can, and prioritize when we're dealing with the big guns of intrusive govt.\n\nKelly Elmore said...\n\nI understand the dilemma. When we had to decide whether to get a birth certificate and SS number for Livy, it was a hard decision (made easy by our transport to the hospital, where they just do it without asking). We hated that the government would be able to start tracking her and getting in her business from about 2 days old, but in the end, there is just too much punishment associated with not getting the documents. Legal trouble for us and bureaucratic red tape for her later. We'll be making the same decision you guys have on the DOI and attendance, though I am still thinking about the testing. Can't wait to hear what you find out about HEIR and how we can get involved in that.\n\nJessica Lee, Adam Ross, and Evan Ross Cooke said...\n\n\"Reason ends at the point of a gun.\" Or something like that. Don't you just love being thrown into the animalistic survival mode of \"fight or flight\" when you're just trying to maintain your integrity?\n\nI spent six long years in the military engaged in that fight. For the first three, I didn't even know what I was fighting. Then, a friend gave me a copy of \"The Virtue of Selfishness\" which set me on a whole different track. That's right, no namby-pamby \"Anthem\" to start me off.\n\n\nElisheva Hannah Levin said...\n\nFirst, congratulations on your first days of homeschooling.\nWe are experiencing our last days of it--see my latest post--as the Boychick (aka N.) has decided to go to high school. It's good---it really is--but it's hard for me.\n\nI think your post says very clearly why we decided to go ahead and comply with New Mexico's very minimal Notification of Intent to Home School. First, it does not require the children's names--only their ages and the adult homeschooler's name. Secondly, because N. had already attended school, flying under the radar would not have \"flown\" for us.\n\nNevertheless, I have always felt vaguely unheroic when submitting my form. And yet, both C. August and Adam reminded me--\"reason ends at the point of a gun.\" The thought of losing my kids to the system was more than I could bear, and the trauma of trying to fight it would have disrupted their peace and tranquility.\n\nThanks! I feel better now, remembering that even John Galt did not resist the point of the gun. He did what he was told to do, though, and nothing more. And we did the same thing with this intrusive law.\n\nKelly, the Chem Geek Princess was born at home in 1985, and we, too, pondered the question of registering her birth with the state. But we reasoned that keeping birth records was a legitimate function for the county in order to maintain population data. In 1985, we did not have to apply for a SS number for her. On tax forms Uncle Sam still trusted us not to lie. Those were simpler days. By the time Boychick arrived after transport to the hospital in 1993, it was different. But then we had no choice, either.<|endoftext|>The following are multiple choice questions (with answers) about computer security.\n\nWhich of the following does authorization aim to accomplish?\nA.

My DOI--sigh, my paper--provides me with protection against overzealous government officials. And, happily, it also gets me education discounts at Barnes & Noble, so that's something!\n\nWow--I've been working on this post for a couple of days now, so I think I'll stop for now. Interesting to think about though.\n\n\nKelly said...\n\nVery thoughtful entry, Jenn. I'm really looking forward to hearing your thoughts as you move forward with homeschooling. You're forging a path I hope to follow in the future!\n\nC. August said...\n\nI agree completely with the strategy of complying with the laws in the most reasoned manner necessary. We're stuck with having to make this calculation in the horrendously mixed world we live in, so we need to make a choice about what laws are easy to and worth ignoring, and what objectionable laws are necessary to grudgingly comply with.\n\nWe have families to worry about, so we do what we can, and prioritize when we're dealing with the big guns of intrusive govt.\n\nKelly Elmore said...\n\nI understand the dilemma. When we had to decide whether to get a birth certificate and SS number for Livy, it was a hard decision (made easy by our transport to the hospital, where they just do it without asking). We hated that the government would be able to start tracking her and getting in her business from about 2 days old, but in the end, there is just too much punishment associated with not getting the documents. Legal trouble for us and bureaucratic red tape for her later. We'll be making the same decision you guys have on the DOI and attendance, though I am still thinking about the testing. Can't wait to hear what you find out about HEIR and how we can get involved in that.\n\nJessica Lee, Adam Ross, and Evan Ross Cooke said...\n\n\"Reason ends at the point of a gun.\" Or something like that. Don't you just love being thrown into the animalistic survival mode of \"fight or flight\" when you're just trying to maintain your integrity?\n\nI spent six long years in the military engaged in that fight. For the first three, I didn't even know what I was fighting. Then, a friend gave me a copy of \"The Virtue of Selfishness\" which set me on a whole different track. That's right, no namby-pamby \"Anthem\" to start me off.\n\n\nElisheva Hannah Levin said...\n\nFirst, congratulations on your first days of homeschooling.\nWe are experiencing our last days of it--see my latest post--as the Boychick (aka N.) has decided to go to high school. It's good---it really is--but it's hard for me.\n\nI think your post says very clearly why we decided to go ahead and comply with New Mexico's very minimal Notification of Intent to Home School. First, it does not require the children's names--only their ages and the adult homeschooler's name. Secondly, because N. had already attended school, flying under the radar would not have \"flown\" for us.\n\nNevertheless, I have always felt vaguely unheroic when submitting my form. And yet, both C. August and Adam reminded me--\"reason ends at the point of a gun.\" The thought of losing my kids to the system was more than I could bear, and the trauma of trying to fight it would have disrupted their peace and tranquility.\n\nThanks! I feel better now, remembering that even John Galt did not resist the point of the gun. He did what he was told to do, though, and nothing more. And we did the same thing with this intrusive law.\n\nKelly, the Chem Geek Princess was born at home in 1985, and we, too, pondered the question of registering her birth with the state. But we reasoned that keeping birth records was a legitimate function for the county in order to maintain population data. In 1985, we did not have to apply for a SS number for her. On tax forms Uncle Sam still trusted us not to lie. Those were simpler days. By the time Boychick arrived after transport to the hospital in 1993, it was different. But then we had no choice, either.<|endoftext|>limited by lines...\n\nNot too much text in this post- but lots of images and a couple of videos, used with kind permission of photographer/anthropologist Johnny Miller. \u00a0His website,,\u00a0has many more eye-opening images of inequality.\n\nBetween golf balls bursting from bunkers onto velvety greens and survival under rusty iron with freight trains barreling through is a social fence, historically constructed, invisible... impenetrable.  \n\nBetween golf balls bursting from bunkers onto velvety greens and survival under rusty iron with freight trains barreling through is a social fence,\u00a0historically constructed, invisible...\u00a0impenetrable.\u00a0\u00a0\n\nLong ago my high-school physics teacher introduced me to Edwin Abbott\u2019s \u201cFlatland, a Romance in Many Dimensions\u201d.

I personally have problems with AMD temps and had some weird artifacts with 9500GT from Nvidia.\n I know it is chance, but seriously for what you pay, they are totally not worth it.\n\n The prices raise and you get less. This is what I mean dissapointing.\n Performance gains are going to low rates and what I see is a dark future, since you can perfectly run a lot of games with the card I have.\n\n Simply put, the more money they make, the darker the future will be with graphics.\n\n This just means, we are already in the dark GPU era.\n\n For that 200mm^2 chip you pay 500$ or even more which is simply awful.\n The real price of the cards should be around 120$ from my point of view. (only because of hard-work)\n\n If you see for example a difference between Tegra (nvidia) and mali 400, that is simply stupid, because the whole difference is that support of HDMI, nothing more. So I buy a 70$ tablet which is the same quality (only graphics but still other stuff too) of a 200$ tablet or even more.\n This just brakes your heart at how many cunsumers loose money without knowing what they are doing.\n\n Note: I remember thinking of the Ipad as a 80$ real price and it turns out that its real building materials are around that price. So the tablet is really a cheap thing, but it is not only Nvidia or AMD who makes the pricy stuff, but all hardware companies. Here it sells for 1000$, which means that 1000:80 is a big ratio and whoever I see a tablet like that, I will immediately think they are stupid.\n Last edited: Dec 27, 2012\n 6.

The gk110 would be cool but I think it be too damn expensive because of the amount of cuda cores and either way I hate the boost functionality on nvidia cards\n 4.

GSquadron\n\n\n Dec 2, 2009\n 3,257 (1.20/day)\n Thanks Received:\n I think that the prices of the cards nowadays are way too high from what they give and problems are rising more and more each day with a lot of people with bad cards. I personally have problems with AMD temps and had some weird artifacts with 9500GT from Nvidia.\n I know it is chance, but seriously for what you pay, they are totally not worth it.\n\n The prices raise and you get less. This is what I mean dissapointing.\n Performance gains are going to low rates and what I see is a dark future, since you can perfectly run a lot of games with the card I have.\n\n Simply put, the more money they make, the darker the future will be with graphics.\n\n This just means, we are already in the dark GPU era.\n\n For that 200mm^2 chip you pay 500$ or even more which is simply awful.\n The real price of the cards should be around 120$ from my point of view. (only because of hard-work)\n\n If you see for example a difference between Tegra (nvidia) and mali 400, that is simply stupid, because the whole difference is that support of HDMI, nothing more. So I buy a 70$ tablet which is the same quality (only graphics but still other stuff too) of a 200$ tablet or even more.\n This just brakes your heart at how many cunsumers loose money without knowing what they are doing.\n\n Note: I remember thinking of the Ipad as a 80$ real price and it turns out that its real building materials are around that price. So the tablet is really a cheap thing, but it is not only Nvidia or AMD who makes the pricy stuff, but all hardware companies. Here it sells for 1000$, which means that 1000:80 is a big ratio and whoever I see a tablet like that, I will immediately think they are stupid.\n Last edited: Dec 27, 2012\n 6.

Despite intensive therapies, 25% of children and adolescents and 50% of adults with T-ALL will ultimately succumb to the disease. Moreover, the late effects of cancer treatment, including permanent organ damage, hormonal and reproductive dysfunction, and second cancers are a special concern in children as current therapies indiscriminately target all dividing cells. The goal of this proposal is to identify and therapeutically target a pathway that is essential for the growth and survival of T-ALL, the inhibition of which will be considerably less toxic than standard chemotherapy. Class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway has been reported to be activated in over 40% of cases of T-ALL. Although four distinct class I PI3K isoforms could participate in T-ALL pathogenesis, none have been implicated in this process. Using genetically altered animals and novel small molecule inhibitors, we have identified specific isoforms that appear to be essential for the development and survival of T- ALL. Based on these observations, we propose that it is possible to exploit the \"addiction\" of this hematological malignancy to these particular PI3K isoforms as a new therapeutic avenue for T-ALL. To achieve these objectives, we propose the following specific aims:\nAim 1. To determine the efficacy and to define the mechanism(s) of action by which 2 novel isoform specific PI3K inhibitors may impact on T-ALL pathogenesis. This will be accomplished by evaluating the effects of these inhibitors in an animal model of PTEN null T-ALL, on human T-ALL cell lines, and on primary patient samples. Emphasis will be placed on interrogating downstream pathways that regulate cell cycle progression, protein synthesis, and cell survival using a combination of biochemical and genetic approaches.\nAim 2. To uncover potential PI3K-dependent and independent mechanisms that may result in secondary resistance. This includes identifying resistance-conferring point mutations and alternative signaling pathways using in silico models of drug binding, chemical-induced mutagenesis, and drug-induced resistant disease in animals. Biochemical and genetic analyses will be performed, the latter including gene expression microarrays and array-based comparative genomic hybridization.\nAim 3. To determine the effects of isoform specific PI3K inhibitors on the development, peripheral expansion, survival and function of human T cells. This will be accomplished by evaluating drug effects in a unique human thymus/CD34+ stem cell xenograft model.\n\nPublic Health Relevance\n\nThe work outlined in this proposal will not only improve our understanding of the mechanisms that contribute to the development and survival of T-ALL, but will also lead to a less toxic strategy to treat this devastating disease, especially in our most vulnerable population: children. )\n\nNational Institute of Health (NIH)\nNational Cancer Institute (NCI)\nResearch Project (R01)\nProject #\nApplication #\nStudy Section\nSpecial Emphasis Panel (ZRG1-BMCT-C (09))\nProgram Officer\nMccarthy, Susan A\nProject Start\nProject End\nBudget Start\nBudget End\nSupport Year\nFiscal Year\nTotal Cost\nIndirect Cost\nColumbia University (N.Y.)\nSchools of Medicine\nNew York\nUnited States\nZip Code\nRogers, Kerry A; Byrd, John C (2016) Venetoclax Adds a New Arrow Targeting Relapsed CLL to the Quiver.

During the trial, a toxicologist, who had no previous knowledge of the case, sat in court and heard all of the evidence about the wife's death and autopsy. As part of the doctor's defense, his attorney calls the toxicologist to give his opinion on the cause of the wife's death. May the toxicologist so testify?\nA.

They did this despite losing their best lineman to an injury on the first drive of the game.\n\nFlozell Adams and Ramon Foster played light years better than they did against Baltimore. In fact, the right side of the line was largely responsible for the improved play of the unit. The lead-footed duo consistently got to linebackers for the first time all year. Their combination blocks have turned into straight double teams in the past, with neither of them ever climbing to the second level.\n\nOn Sunday this wasn't an issue, as one of the two always seemed to be plodding into a linebacker. The best example of this was on Mendenhall's long second-quarter run, where Adams and Foster performed a textbook combo block to spring Mendenhall. Adams may have had a couple of breakdowns, but nowhere near what he had last week, and less than his season average.\n\nWord of Muth punching bag Jonathan Scott was not his usual revolving door self, either. He may have played the best of any of the Steelers offensive linemen (wow, that looks weird in print). The Steelers ran mainly to the right, but this week Scott was much better at cutting off backside penetration. This allowed for a lot more cutback opportunities for Mendenhall.\n\nI don't want to downplay the Big Jon's contributions in the running game, but what was most impressive to me was his improvement in pass protection. I don't know what Scott did to play better. His technique didn't look noticeably different, except that he was sustaining his blocks a lot longer. Perhaps Jonathan Scott is the Mark Sanchez of left tackles.\n\nThe remaining two Pittsburgh linemen were not as effective. Chris Kemoeatu played poorly from the first series of the game. He was asked to pull twice on the first drive for Pittsburgh and tripped both times. It got better from there, but not much. Kemoeatu just didn't seem to play with his typical sense of urgency. His strengths -- finishing blocks and effective pulling -- weren't as prevalent in this game, while his weakness -- poor pass blocking -- remained. After playing well last week. this is a step back that the Steelers may not be able to overcome against the Packers.\n\nOnce Maurkice Pouncey went down with an injury, the Steelers turned to Doug Legursky. I've been a fan of Legursky's all year. He's filled in at all three interior spots and always acquitted himself well. He's even been used effectively in goal-line situations. It turns out a little Legursky goes a long way.\n\nThe Marshall product looked like a different player this week. He looked flustered and overmatched throughout the game, and it looks like he has really short arms (I couldn't find the measurement). The problem with that is that he has to play nose to nose with everyone and can be thrown off of blocks more easily. To get away with short arms, even on the inside where arm length isn't as necessary as it is at tackle, you have to have great grip strength, which Legursky seems to lack. A lot of players have overcome short arms by being better in other areas. Last Sunday, Legusrsky didn't show that ability, but with the increased reps he will get in practice over the next two weeks, he will certainly have an opportunity to hone his craft.\n\nA couple of weeks ago, when I did a mailbag article, I got a question about pass protections with pullers. I didn't answer it then because it seemed like something that deserved more attention than I could give as one answer among money. Luckily, the Steelers provided a perfect example of this type of play. On the first drive of the game Roethlisberger hit Heath Miller for a diving catch inside the 10-yard line. The play was overturned, but that doesn't diminish the scheme of the play; it diminishes the perception that Roethlisberger played an amazing game.\n\nThe Steelers motioned into what was basically a Weak I-formation. They faked a weakside power, a play they ran effectively the first time they played New York, and threw it over the top. By faking a play that the Jets had undoubtedly been preparing for early in the game, they got the most bang for their buck.\n\nAs a game goes along, the game plan gradually loses traction. You stop worrying about stuff you've prepared for and start worrying about stuff that is hurting you. The Steelers were able to use currency they had built up from the previous game to take an early advantage. Plus, the play was designed to go to a player aligned like a fullback, and defensive secondaries lose those guys a lot.\n\nFigure 1: Power Pass\n\nOf course, the key to any shot play (a play where you know you're going to take a shot) is protection. Here the Steelers had to pull someone create the illusion, which is always difficult on pass protection. Pittsburgh solved this problem by keeping two tight ends and a running back in to block (one of the tight ends released eventually).\n\nThey faked Power to the left, meaning the puller is the right guard Foster. The running back is also going to the left, since that is the direction of the fake. Because the play fake necessitates two guys going to the left, the Steelers slide everyone else to the right. This means that the pulling guard and running back are responsible for any C- and D-Gap rushers to the left.

That's not unreasonable at a stats site, since his stats for the game were terrible. His 52% completion percent, 2 INTs, 35.5 QB rating, and -37 DYAR for the game seem conclusive enough.\n\nby Nate Dunlevy :: Thu, 01/27/2011 - 4:41pm\n\nOr", "base_doc": " a lot of arm tackles. They did this despite losing their best lineman to an injury on the first drive of the game.\n\nFlozell Adams and Ramon Foster played light years better than they did against Baltimore. In fact, the right side of the line was largely responsible for the improved play of the unit. The lead-footed duo consistently got to linebackers for the first time all year. Their combination blocks have turned into straight double teams in the past, with neither of them ever climbing to the second level.\n\nOn Sunday this wasn't an issue, as one of the two always seemed to be plodding into a linebacker. The best example of this was on Mendenhall's long second-quarter run, where Adams and Foster performed a textbook combo block to spring Mendenhall. Adams may have had a couple of breakdowns, but nowhere near what he had last week, and less than his season average.\n\nWord of Muth punching bag Jonathan Scott was not his usual revolving door self, either. He may have played the best of any of the Steelers offensive linemen (wow, that looks weird in print). The Steelers ran mainly to the right, but this week Scott was much better at cutting off backside penetration. This allowed for a lot more cutback opportunities for Mendenhall.\n\nI don't want to downplay the Big Jon's contributions in the running game, but what was most impressive to me was his improvement in pass protection. I don't know what Scott did to play better. His technique didn't look noticeably different, except that he was sustaining his blocks a lot longer. Perhaps Jonathan Scott is the Mark Sanchez of left tackles.\n\nThe remaining two Pittsburgh linemen were not as effective. Chris Kemoeatu played poorly from the first series of the game. He was asked to pull twice on the first drive for Pittsburgh and tripped both times. It got better from there, but not much. Kemoeatu just didn't seem to play with his typical sense of urgency. His strengths -- finishing blocks and effective pulling -- weren't as prevalent in this game, while his weakness -- poor pass blocking -- remained. After playing well last week. this is a step back that the Steelers may not be able to overcome against the Packers.\n\nOnce Maurkice Pouncey went down with an injury, the Steelers turned to Doug Legursky. I've been a fan of Legursky's all year. He's filled in at all three interior spots and always acquitted himself well. He's even been used effectively in goal-line situations. It turns out a little Legursky goes a long way.\n\nThe Marshall product looked like a different player this week. He looked flustered and overmatched throughout the game, and it looks like he has really short arms (I couldn't find the measurement). The problem with that is that he has to play nose to nose with everyone and can be thrown off of blocks more easily. To get away with short arms, even on the inside where arm length isn't as necessary as it is at tackle, you have to have great grip strength, which Legursky seems to lack. A lot of players have overcome short arms by being better in other areas. Last Sunday, Legusrsky didn't show that ability, but with the increased reps he will get in practice over the next two weeks, he will certainly have an opportunity to hone his craft.\n\nA couple of weeks ago, when I did a mailbag article, I got a question about pass protections with pullers. I didn't answer it then because it seemed like something that deserved more attention than I could give as one answer among money. Luckily, the Steelers provided a perfect example of this type of play. On the first drive of the game Roethlisberger hit Heath Miller for a diving catch inside the 10-yard line. The play was overturned, but that doesn't diminish the scheme of the play; it diminishes the perception that Roethlisberger played an amazing game.\n\nThe Steelers motioned into what was basically a Weak I-formation. They faked a weakside power, a play they ran effectively the first time they played New York, and threw it over the top. By faking a play that the Jets had undoubtedly been preparing for early in the game, they got the most bang for their buck.\n\nAs a game goes along, the game plan gradually loses traction. You stop worrying about stuff you've prepared for and start worrying about stuff that is hurting you. The Steelers were able to use currency they had built up from the previous game to take an early advantage. Plus, the play was designed to go to a player aligned like a fullback, and defensive secondaries lose those guys a lot.\n\nFigure 1: Power Pass\n\nOf course, the key to any shot play (a play where you know you're going to take a shot) is protection. Here the Steelers had to pull someone create the illusion, which is always difficult on pass protection. Pittsburgh solved this problem by keeping two tight ends and a running back in to block (one of the tight ends released eventually).\n\nThey faked Power to the left, meaning the puller is the right guard Foster. The running back is also going to the left, since that is the direction of the fake. Because the play fake necessitates two guys going to the left, the Steelers slide everyone else to the right. This means that the pulling guard and running back are responsible for any C- and D-Gap rushers to the left. The rest of the offensive line simply has the gap to their right; it is actually a really simple protection.\n\nFlozell Adams does something on the play that seems small but is actually very smart. He is supposed to slide to the right, but he notices a three-technique inside. Instead of immediately sliding out, he takes a small step inside and offers hand and body presence until the center, Pouncey, can get to the three-techniques. Adams accomplishes this by keeping his eyes outside so he can still pick up any rushers that threaten his gap. It's a little play that goes a long way in locking up the protection.\n\nNext week the plan is to watch some Packers games and try to break down the matchups up front for Pittsburgh. In doing that, I'll try to explain some things that the guys I played with and I look at when we watch film. It should be fun.\n\nPosted by: Ben Muth on 27 Jan 2011\n\n47 comments, Last at 10 May 2011, 1:48pm by loopslike\n\n\nby Billy B (not verified) :: Thu, 01/27/2011 - 4:13pm\n\nI've been a big fan of this column all season, but this week's effort is bewildering.

Bolkestein had departed to the European Commission in 1999 and since then Wilders had become more and more dissatisfied with the course of the VVD. Confronted with the success of Fortuyn and radicalised by 9/11, Wilders wanted his party to become a hard right force which could radicalise the political environment and cut off any competition from the right. The leadership however, wanted the party to remain on the centre-right, dedicated to the European Union (EU) and coalition politics.\n\nIn 2004 Wilders was expelled after leaking his own internal memo calling for a more right wing course and subsequently refusing to promise to restrain himself.8 He remained in parliament as an independent, with hate speech against Muslims and migrants as his trademark. From 2005 onwards he headed the parliamentary fraction of the newly established PVV.\n\nThe social context within which this occurred was very turbulent. The years following Fortuyn\u2019s murder saw massive anti-war demonstrations and union mobilisations against pension reforms. In 2005 62 percent of the Dutch electorate rejected the EU Constitutional Treaty, despite (and partly encouraged by) a fierce \u201cYes\u201d campaign by the government, the union bureaucracy, NGOs, the social-democratic Labour Party (PvdA) and the Green Left. Only the anti-neoliberal Socialist Party (SP), the far left and Wilders had campaigned against.9 Consequently, approval rates for the government hovered between 15 and 20 percent, and the next general election showed strong political polarisation.10 On the right, Wilders had been the most extreme representative of Fortuyn\u2019s politics and won the fight over his heritage. In the 2006 national elections he won nine seats and his far-right competitors none. Meanwhile, on the left the SP obtained a historic victory, gaining 25 seats.\n\nDisillusionment followed the failure of mass demonstrations to change government policies and all eyes turned to the parliamentary scene, with especially high expectations in the SP. But in the following years it was not the left, the social movements or the unions that set the tone of debate: it was Wilders, often leaving the rest of the political landscape confused and disorientated.\n\nThe politics of the PVV\n\nTaking a lead from Fortuyn, Wilders has been pushing for a rightward shift by channelling general discontent towards an agenda of authoritarian neoliberalism and Islamophobia. His politics are a combination of aggressive verbal attacks on \u201cthe left elite\u201d (specifically the social democrats, but more generally the whole political establishment, the media and intellectuals), concealed neoliberalism and rampant Islamophobia dressed up in a post-9/11 world view.\n\nWilders argues that Islam is a monolithic political ideology, inherently opposed to \u201cEnlightenment values\u201d, poised at world dominance and about to take over Europe. Here he takes the American political scientist Samuel Huntington\u2019s prediction of a developing clash of civilisations to a new level. It is not only that post Cold War international politics is supposedly driven by cultural and religious conflicts: according to Wilders an existential battle between the West and Islam is nearing the end phase. Speaking at the Hudson Institute in New York in 2008, he told an enthusiastic crowd:\n\nI come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamisation of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States is the last bastion of Western civilisation, facing an Islamic Europe.11\n\nWilders is an avowed supporter of Israel, which he sees as the crucial external frontier. For him, parties like the PVV form the last line of defence against a fifth column of Muslims. The only way to win would be an Israelification of Europe, treating Muslims as second-rate citizens and a permanent threat to \u201cour way of life\u201d. He has argued for a \u201craghead-tax\u201d (a thousand euro fine for wearing the hijab, described by him in a speech in parliament as \u201cmaking the polluter pay\u201d),12 proposed that the Dutch army fight \u201cstreet terrorists\u201d (ie youth of Moroccan descent) at home instead of in Afghanistan,13 and wants to abolish the first article of the constitution which declares all citizens equal and replace it with one identifying the \u201cChristian-Jewish and humanist\u201d tradition as the dominant culture.\n\nAround these policies Wilders has built an international network, ranging from American neoconservatives and evangelicals to members of the armed settler movement and high officials in Israel, with the more traditional extreme right parties from Europe uncomfortably in between. Most of his funding comes from the United States, where Daniel Pipes of the Middle Eastern Forum boasted of having raised \u201can amount of six figures\u201d for Wilders.14 His American speaking tours have functioned as an ideological ice-breaker for a new radical right in the US, going much further with his Islam-bashing than most American politicians and institutions dare to go.\n\nWilders\u2019s social-economic policy is intentionally fuzzy, combining hard liberalism with more social measures, supposedly aimed at defending the \u201chard-working Dutch\u201d. This has caused some commentators to describe Wilders as \u201cculturally right wing, but socio-economically left leaning\u201d. This is spectacularly mistaken. Coming from the VVD, Wilders has neoliberalism ingrained in his DNA. In his \u201cDeclaration of Independence\u201d of 2004 he wrote that the welfare state, regulation and taxation need to be cut down to create a more corporate friendly environment.15 He has always stood for economic liberalism with a typical do it yourself, middle class twist to it. By \u201chard-working Dutch\u201d he does not mean working class; he means the ideal of the self-made entrepreneur. Tellingly, the new candidates for the provincial elections in March were described by one journalist as \u201ctie-types\u201d, pro-business and keen on countering any formal obstructions to building projects and entrepreneurial initiative.16\n\nThe so-called social shifts Wilders has made were intended opportunistically to broaden his electoral base. In the run-up to the 2010 general election he made promises to resist the raising of the pension age and cuts to social security. The first he abandoned just hours after the election results had come in, and the second when he was able to become junior partner to the most right wing government in Dutch history. Put to the choice, Wilders has consistently opted for neoliberalism, from furthering the privatisation of the health sector to dismantling rent control in the social housing system.17\n\nThis commitment to neoliberalism has only occasionally led to an upset among his voters. In October 2010 bus drivers in The Hague were enraged after the PVV discarded their earlier promises and supported the privatisation of public transport in the political capital.18\n\nThere is nothing left wing in Wilders\u2019s politics. He is a power-politician who is more willing to lie about his real nature than any other representative of the mainstream right. The main reason he has got away with this deceit is his effective use of racism as an electoral battering ram, which he has managed to connect very explicitly to social issues. Since the onset of the economic crisis he has been insisting on the necessity of saving billions of euros by cutting \u201ccosts of mass migration\u201d. He has pleaded among other things for limiting social security to non-Western migrants, minimising judicial aid to those having lived in the Netherlands for longer than ten years and forcing immigrants to pay for their own integration and language courses.\n\nThis racist scapegoating has functioned as a very effective lightning rod for class anger, deflecting it against migrants. The result has been that a large part of the social base of the PVV believe that they stand to benefit from the repressive and racist measures, even if in practice it means a continuation of the ruling class neoliberal onslaught. The elements of racism and neoliberalism are present in all mainstream parties, but the way Wilders takes this to new extremes and combines it with aggressive anti-establishment rhetoric has made him a dynamic political force that differs fundamentally from the rest of the political spectrum.\n\nCharacterising Wilders\u2019s new radical right\n\nThe rise of Wilders is not an exclusively Dutch phenomenon. The last two decades have seen the rise of new, more aggressive right wing political forces, ranging from Forza Italia to UKIP to Jobik. All these formations defend an extreme form of neoliberalism and a return to authoritarian politics and police-state methods, and fully identify with the \u201cwar on terror\u201d. In most of the cases they use Islamophobia as a way to give their programme a popular base, sometimes also engaging in anti-Roma or even anti-Walloon agitation in the Flemish case. They all harbour authoritarian, racist and anti-democratic politics that call upon forces outside of the established institutions.\n\nBut there are also important differences, especially in strategic orientation. Roughly three currents can be distinguished. First of all there are euro Nazi parties like the Front National and the British National Party. They bind together an older cadre hardened by fascist politics with an electoral strategy aimed at creating local strongholds. Second,", "base_doc": "Islamisation\u201d, often going further than his party\u2019s point of view. Bolkestein had departed to the European Commission in 1999 and since then Wilders had become more and more dissatisfied with the course of the VVD. Confronted with the success of Fortuyn and radicalised by 9/11, Wilders wanted his party to become a hard right force which could radicalise the political environment and cut off any competition from the right. The leadership however, wanted the party to remain on the centre-right, dedicated to the European Union (EU) and coalition politics.\n\nIn 2004 Wilders was expelled after leaking his own internal memo calling for a more right wing course and subsequently refusing to promise to restrain himself.8 He remained in parliament as an independent, with hate speech against Muslims and migrants as his trademark. From 2005 onwards he headed the parliamentary fraction of the newly established PVV.\n\nThe social context within which this occurred was very turbulent.

I\u2019m a mountain biker, so I pedal lots and lots, and I sit lots and lots when I\u2019m working, but I don\u2019t really walk around too much. The reason I didn\u2019t use to walk around too much was because I found it really, really boring.\n\nSo I first thought I would get a FitBit and track the number of steps I\u2019m taking each day. And that was horrifying. I was doing 400 steps a day or something on some days, working from home. Really, really low. And in the end, the solution was not FitBit, it was to get a dog.\n\nA few months ago we got a dog \u2013 and I apologize, he barked earlier and I had to kick it out of the room. So not so great for podcasting but great for walking. Now I walk at least an hour a day, and I really enjoy it. It\u2019s really fun.\n\nSo maybe sometimes the answer is not to track the number of steps or track whatever it is you\u2019re interested in, but instead insert some interrupt into your life that\u2019s going to lead to the behavior change that gets the desired outcome.\n\n(1:03:56) [Damien Blenkinsopp]: Yeah, that\u2019s really clever, changing your environment like that. Definitely one of the most effective things I\u2019ve found is changing your environment.\n\nSo, you\u2019ve had a lot of insight, and it sounds like you\u2019ve made a lot of changes over time. Are there any other more recent changes or things you\u2019re thinking about based on any of these things that you\u2019ve tracked or that have come up? Or are you basically optimized now and you\u2019re quite happy?\n\n[Christopher Kelly]: I am very happy, actually, but I am worried.\n\nOne of the reasons I\u2019ve been so good at doing\u2013I say so good. People have told me I\u2019m quite good at doing the podcast, and then also the client calls. It\u2019s because I was so able to relate to the other person\u2019s specific situation, because I had also been through that same situation. I\u2019m worried that I\u2019m losing that now.\n\nBut, I do continue to think about it, and maybe there\u2019s something I\u2019m missing, but one of the things I advocate is that it really isn\u2019t that hard. There aren\u2019t that many things to think about.\n\nDiet, which we talked a lot about on the podcast. There\u2019s appropriate management of stress; you\u2019re never going to get away from stress, but you need some way to appropriately manage it. Whatever you do, don\u2019t be lonely. That\u2019s like smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Just because you live in London doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re not lonely; it\u2019s perfectly easy to be lonely even though\u2026\n\n[Damien Blenkinsopp]: Well especially with all of our devices these days. I think a lot of people choose that route rather than\u2026\n\n[Christopher Kelly]: Exactly. Yeah. So these real relationships are being replaced by Facebook and Twitter and all the rest of this stuff.\n\nAnd then what else is there, there\u2019s movement, appropriate movement. You need to walk, I think, and you need to occasionally lift heavy things and maybe sprint. And that\u2019s really all there is to it. It\u2019s not that complicated. Or at least it didn\u2019t take me long to say it.\n\n(1:05:35) [Damien Blenkinsopp]: Yeah, excellent.\n\nIf you were to recommend just one experiment that someone should try to improve their body \u2013 and it could be to improve health, performance, longevity, whatever they\u2019re after or whatever you think is most important \u2013 with the biggest payoff, what would that be?\n\n[Christopher Kelly]: Definitely monitoring blood glucose, without a question.\n\n[Damien Blenkinsopp]: Okay. Is that with the CGM or a blood meter? How should they do that, and how\u2026\n\n[Christopher Kelly]: I think most people are not going to have access to the CGM.\n\nI have worn one, personally. Somebody sent me one from New Zealand. So I\u2019m in Santa Cruz in California and I believe that you still need a prescription from a doctor to get one, which is unfortunate, and I\u2019m sure that will change in the future. Somebody sent me one from New Zealand and I did learn a couple of things.\n\nThe first was that when I walk, my blood glucose goes down quite surprisingly rapidly, even walking with a three year old girl. So most people would think that\u2019s nothing, that\u2019s not enough exercise to have any impact on anything. But it turns out that it is.\n\nSo I can prevent postprandial glucose spikes just by going for a walk with my three year old daughter. And I never would have known that without the continuous monitor. You just wouldn\u2019t know to stick your finger to see that it\u2019s happening.\n\nAnd then the other thing I found out from the CGM was that intense exercise really, really raises my blood glucose. I don\u2019t know whether its cortisol or what, I haven\u2019t done continuous cortisol monitoring. But when I do intense exercise I can get my blood glucose up to 180 milligrams/deciliter, no trouble at all. So, that kind of makes you aware of the fact that it\u2019s not just the food you put into your mouth that can raise blood glucose.\n\nThe place to start is with the finger stick test that everybody has access to. You can go to your local drug store, anywhere in the world, and pick up one of these finger stick tests that I know you\u2019ve talked about on the podcast before. Then just check your blood glucose first thing in the morning.\n\nOptimal evidence based reference range for fasting blood glucose is 83 to 88 milligrams/deciliter. So that\u2019s what one of our models is trying to predict, being out of range. So that\u2019s where I think you should be, and that\u2019s where I am now. It took me a while to get there, but I am in that optimal range.\n\n[Damien Blenkinsopp]: Is that throughout the day? So they can check it at any time away from food or\u2026\n\n[Christopher Kelly]: I\u2019m not sure.\n\nI wouldn\u2019t want to see excursions too far out of that reference range. Once you go above 120 it becomes questionable whether you\u2019re doing yourself any good. Obviously there\u2019s going to be some excursions. If you\u2019re eating any carbohydrate at all then it\u2019s going to go above 100, I would expect.\n\nBut I think the fasting value is really interesting because we have some epidemiological data that shows hazard ratios go up significantly once you get above \u2013 or below actually \u2013 that 83 to 88 milligrams/deciliter in fasting blood glucose.\n\n[Damien Blenkinsopp]: Right. So is that first thing in the morning then?\n\n[Christopher Kelly]: Exactly. As soon as you get up, you stick your finger before you\u2019ve had a chance to move around too much or eat anything.\n\n[Damien Blenkinsopp]: Yeah. I do think sometimes that\u2019s a tricky one for some people, like me, because with my CGM I\u2019ve seen over time really quickly after I wake up I start to get a rise from cortisol.\n\n[Christopher Kelly]: Okay.\n\n[Damien Blenkinsopp]: And so it\u2019s always made me wonder.\n\nI\u2019ve been going to get my blood\u2019s fasting glucose for years, and it didn\u2019t necessarily come back ideal. But then if I look at the whole day, I\u2019m basically in the optimum range all the time. And it\u2019s just this one little spike when I wake up in the morning.\n\nI think I do have some cortisol dysregulation, but I think it\u2019s relatively common as well.\n\n(1:09:11) [Damien Blenkinsopp]: Just on your exercise thing you were talking about. I maybe have a little bit of information for you there. I\u2019ve been testing the Wim Hof method recently.\n\n[Christopher Kelly]: Oh yeah. I am familiar, I\u2019ve tried it.\n\n[Damien Blenkinsopp]: Have you? Oh cool. Well how are you finding it?\n\n[Christopher Kelly]: It\u2019s hyperventilating, and it made my face tingle, and I felt kind of funny. I could see that it was doing something. But yeah I\u2019m not sure what else to say about it.\n\n[Damien Blenkinsopp]: I\u2019ve been through the whole program and taking it", "base_doc": " example.\n\nSo I know that I don\u2019t walk enough\u2013that was one of my problems.

You need to walk, I think, and you need to occasionally lift heavy things and maybe sprint. And that\u2019s really all there is to it. It\u2019s not that complicated. Or at least it didn\u2019t take me long to say it.\n\n(1:05:35) [Damien Blenkinsopp]: Yeah, excellent.\n\nIf you were to recommend just one experiment that someone should try to improve their body \u2013 and it could be to improve health, performance, longevity, whatever they\u2019re after or whatever you think is most important \u2013 with the biggest payoff, what would that be?\n\n[Christopher Kelly]: Definitely monitoring blood glucose, without a question.\n\n[Damien Blenkinsopp]: Okay. Is that with the CGM or a blood meter? How should they do that, and how\u2026\n\n[Christopher Kelly]: I think most people are not going to have access to the CGM.\n\nI have worn one, personally. Somebody sent me one from New Zealand. So I\u2019m in Santa Cruz in California and I believe that you still need a prescription from a doctor to get one, which is unfortunate, and I\u2019m sure that will change in the future. Somebody sent me one from New Zealand and I did learn a couple of things.\n\nThe first was that when I walk, my blood glucose goes down quite surprisingly rapidly, even walking with a three year old girl. So most people would think that\u2019s nothing, that\u2019s not enough exercise to have any impact on anything. But it turns out that it is.\n\nSo I can prevent postprandial glucose spikes just by going for a walk with my three year old daughter. And I never would have known that without the continuous monitor. You just wouldn\u2019t know to stick your finger to see that it\u2019s happening.\n\nAnd then the other thing I found out from the CGM was that intense exercise really, really raises my blood glucose. I don\u2019t know whether its cortisol or what, I haven\u2019t done continuous cortisol monitoring. But when I do intense exercise I can get my blood glucose up to 180 milligrams/deciliter, no trouble at all. So, that kind of makes you aware of the fact that it\u2019s not just the food you put into your mouth that can raise blood glucose.\n\nThe place to start is with the finger stick test that everybody has access to. You can go to your local drug store, anywhere in the world, and pick up one of these finger stick tests that I know you\u2019ve talked about on the podcast before. Then just check your blood glucose first thing in the morning.\n\nOptimal evidence based reference range for fasting blood glucose is 83 to 88 milligrams/deciliter. So that\u2019s what one of our models is trying to predict, being out of range. So that\u2019s where I think you should be, and that\u2019s where I am now. It took me a while to get there, but I am in that optimal range.\n\n[Damien Blenkinsopp]: Is that throughout the day? So they can check it at any time away from food or\u2026\n\n[Christopher Kelly]: I\u2019m not sure.\n\nI wouldn\u2019t want to see excursions too far out of that reference range. Once you go above 120 it becomes questionable whether you\u2019re doing yourself any good. Obviously there\u2019s going to be some excursions. If you\u2019re eating any carbohydrate at all then it\u2019s going to go above 100, I would expect.\n\nBut I think the fasting value is really interesting because we have some epidemiological data that shows hazard ratios go up significantly once you get above \u2013 or below actually \u2013 that 83 to 88 milligrams/deciliter in fasting blood glucose.\n\n[Damien Blenkinsopp]: Right. So is that first thing in the morning then?\n\n[Christopher Kelly]: Exactly. As soon as you get up, you stick your finger before you\u2019ve had a chance to move around too much or eat anything.\n\n[Damien Blenkinsopp]: Yeah. I do think sometimes that\u2019s a tricky one for some people, like me, because with my CGM I\u2019ve seen over time really quickly after I wake up I start to get a rise from cortisol.\n\n[Christopher Kelly]: Okay.\n\n[Damien Blenkinsopp]: And so it\u2019s always made me wonder.\n\nI\u2019ve been going to get my blood\u2019s fasting glucose for years, and it didn\u2019t necessarily come back ideal. But then if I look at the whole day, I\u2019m basically in the optimum range all the time. And it\u2019s just this one little spike when I wake up in the morning.\n\nI think I do have some cortisol dysregulation, but I think it\u2019s relatively common as well.\n\n(1:09:11) [Damien Blenkinsopp]: Just on your exercise thing you were talking about. I maybe have a little bit of information for you there. I\u2019ve been testing the Wim Hof method recently.\n\n[Christopher Kelly]: Oh yeah. I am familiar, I\u2019ve tried it.\n\n[Damien Blenkinsopp]: Have you? Oh cool. Well how are you finding it?\n\n[Christopher Kelly]: It\u2019s hyperventilating, and it made my face tingle, and I felt kind of funny. I could see that it was doing something. But yeah I\u2019m not sure what else to say about it.\n\n[Damien Blenkinsopp]: I\u2019ve been through the whole program and taking it pretty seriously. It\u2019s actually helping me with some things which I\u2019ll cover in a later episode.\n\nBut I\u2019ve tracked it extensively as well with CGM and things like that, and the breathing, the hyperventilation, whacks up your blood sugar every single time.\n\nYeah, with a cortisol response. So it makes you wonder if when we get an exercise response, is that due to the breathing? Because when we\u2019re exercising hard, we\u2019re actually breathing really hard as well. Or is it the actual exercise as the actual trigger?\n\n[Christopher Kelly]: It\u2019s a", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 147370, "pt_loc": 44776746, "pt_shuffle_idx": 109005807, "doc_index_f": 170843538, "doc_index_l": 170843538, "offset_f": 14629, "offset_l": 16677, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 129, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": " through, and to detect sound, you need to measure this back-and-forth motion.\n\nBack in 1986, scientists invented optical tweezers \u2013 which use a laser beam to grab hold of tiny particles and move them around.

When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. There were about twelve men in all\u201d (Acts 19:1\u20137).\n\nWe know that, when a person is born again, the Holy Spirit takes up residence in that person\u2019s life (1 Corinthians 6:19). If a person does not have the Holy Spirit, then he does not belong to Christ (Romans 8:9). So why is it that these men in Ephesus did not have the Holy Spirit, when it seems that they had believed?\n\nThe key is that they had not yet believed in Christ. They did not know about Jesus\u2019s saving work (or the Holy Spirit\u2019s indwelling) until they met Paul. A careful reading of the first part of Acts 19 reveals several facts about this group of twelve men: 1) They were \u201cdisciples\u201d\u2014but not of Christ. Rather, they were self-identified disciples of John the Baptist (verse 3). 2) They were not believers in the risen Lord Jesus Christ\u2014Paul\u2019s question about their conversion experience reveals that they knew nothing of the Spirit or His power (verse 2). 3) They had taken the first step\u2014repentance of sins\u2014but they had not taken the corresponding step\u2014faith in Christ.\n\nIn short, the \u201cEphesus Dozen\u201d were still living under the Old Testament economy. They saw the need of repentance and were still awaiting the Messiah. They did not know the Christian message.\n\nA further clue of their spiritual condition is found in the preceding chapter. Apollos, an Alexandrian Jew and a skillful orator, had been preaching in Ephesus (Acts 18:24). However, \u201che knew only the baptism of John\u201d (verse 25). The only information Apollos had about Jesus was what he had heard from John; thus, he knew Jesus was the Messiah, but he knew nothing of Jesus\u2019 sacrificial death and resurrection. Two believers in Ephesus, Priscilla and Aquila, took Apollos aside and \u201cexplained to him the way of God more adequately\u201d (verse 26). After he understood and received the gospel, Apollos became a great apologist for the Lord Jesus (verse 28).\n\nIt would seem that the twelve men whom Paul encountered were some of Apollos\u2019 followers. They had been baptized for repentance, but they had not heard the whole gospel message. Paul filled them in on the details of Jesus\u2019 death and resurrection\u2014the essential elements of the gospel\u2014and told them to believe (Acts 19:4). Once the men received Christ by faith, the Holy Spirit, true to form, filled them with His presence. They became new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17).\n\nJohn the Baptist\u2019s ministry was one of preparation for people to receive Christ (Mark 1:2). He preached repentance of sins, and, as people repented, they showed their change of heart by an outward cleansing. But simply repenting of sin is not enough. We must have Christ. John himself understood the limitations of his ministry: \u201cI baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire\u201d (Matthew 3:11).\n\nThose who, like Apollos and the \u201cEphesus Dozen,\u201d stopped with John\u2019s baptism only had half the story. They needed more than repentance; they needed faith in Christ. The disciples in Ephesus heard about Jesus from Paul the apostle, Jesus\u2019 representative (Acts 9:15). As they received his message, they were baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, and they received the Holy Spirit in a way that publicly, unmistakably linked them to the gospel as preached by Paul.\n\n\nRecommended Resource: The Holy Spirit by Charles Ryrie\n\nRelated Topics:\n\nWhen / How do we receive the Holy Spirit?\n\nWhat is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit?\n\nWhat is the baptism of the Holy Spirit?\n\nWhy had the believers in Samaria not received the Holy Spirit (Acts 8)?\n\nHow can I be filled with the Holy Spirit?\n\nReturn to:\n\nQuestions about Acts\n\nReturn to: Home\n\n\nThe GQ Network<|endoftext|>How Much is Wikipedia Worth?\n\nJanuary 18, 2012 in Editorial\n\nWith the Wikipedia blackout in the face of protests over SOPA/PIPA we here at Centives began to realize just how much Wikipedia is worth to us. This led us to wonder: how much is Wikipedia actually worth in dollar terms? Centives decided to find out. There are several ways to value a massive encyclopedia on the scale of the English version of Wikipedia and each method has its merits. Centives decided to estimate its value by examining how much it would cost an individual or a company to develop an encyclopedia that was similar to Wikipedia.\n\nResearch suggests that Wikipedia\u2019s quality is comparable to that of the Encyclop\u00e6dia Britannica. Science writers could produce articles of roughly similar quality and their services can be brought for around $1 per word*. Wikipedia was launched in 2001 and by the end of the year it contained 4.3 million words distributed across 16,000 articles. So, if somebody had wanted to create an encyclopedia that had the same depth as Wikipedia in 2001 they would have had to pay science writers $4.3 million.\n\nOver the next few years Wikipedia grew at an astonishing rate:\n\nBy the end of 2009 Wikipedia contained 1.7 billion words across 3.1 million articles. A company wanting to create a database as comprehensive as Wikipedia would have to pay writers $1.7 billion to equal the feat. This means that between 2001 and 2009 Wikipedia\u2019s value grew at an average rate of 147% per year. In contrast Apple\u2019s Market Capitalization has grown by 59% per year over the same time period and Google\u2019s Market Capitalization has grown by \u2018just\u2019 32% per year since it went public.\n\nData for the number of words contained in Wikipedia is unavailable past January 2010. However it might be possible to predict the number of words within Wikipedia based on past trends. Since March 2006, Wikipedia has grown at a fairly steady monthly pace and in the 17 months between September 2008 and January 2010 the number of words within Wikipedia grew at a monthly rate of 2%. If we conservatively estimate that the number of words in Wikipedia has grown by 1% a month since January 2010, then Wikipedia would be worth around $2.2 billion at the end of 2011.\n\nThis is more than the GDP of several countries. If, for example, Sierra Leone or Bhutan wanted to make something as comprehensive as the beloved encyclopedia then they would have to give up all of their income for an entire year and they still wouldn\u2019t be able to afford to pay writers enough.\n\nIf we assume that the majority of the words are written by registered users then each of the 750,000 users would have to be paid $3,035 for their efforts. Yet Wikipedia has managed to put together the largest database of human knowledge in history without paying writers a dime.\n\nWhat\u2019s fascinating is that $2.2 billion is arguably the lowest and most conservative estimate of the English Wikipedia\u2019s net value. It\u2019s assuming that Wikipedia is just the sum of its parts. But in reality it\u2019s much more than that and while a company could, conceivably, create something similar to Wikipedia by forking over $2.2 billion (although it would not have the same dynamism), they would likely have to pay orders of magnitude more to purchase the entire encyclopedia itself.\n\nRead our other editorials to find out how many Zombies it would take to defeat Napoleon\u2019s forces as well as a look at Pocahontas as a potential candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The present essay on Brazilian social inertia makes use of this new historiography in order to formulate a number of sociological hypotheses on the pattern of incorporating workers in the early stages of capitalism in Brazil. I suggest that slavery left profound marks on the later social imagination and practices, functioning as a kind of ballast that subsequent generations found extremely difficult to jettison.

In historiography it is worth recalling the pioneering work of Emilia Viotti da Costa and the studies of Brazilianists such as A. J. R. Russell-Wood, Stuart Schwartz, Robert Conrad, Peter Eisenberg and Herbert Klein, to cite just some of those who examined the social fate of ex-slaves under the slavery regime.3\n\nThe reason for this disciplinary division perhaps resides in a certain matrix of ideas promoted from the 1950s onwards in which it was presumed that modern Brazilian capitalism had first emerged in S\u00e3o Paulo, meaning it would be sufficient to search there for its socioeconomic roots. This idea persisted even after Celso Furtado had shown, in the 1950s still, that while the capital freed by coffee production lay at the origin of the industrial accumulation of S\u00e3o Paulo (and, by extension, Brazil), capitalism in the country was unequal but integrated, such that the fate of the Northeast or Amazonia was not disconnected from the S\u00e3o Paulo dynamic. As a result, the vast literature on the consolidation of capitalism and the labour market in Brazil had an undeniable \u0091S\u00e3o-Paulocentric' flavour.\n\nThe concentration of research funds in the latter state was a necessary condition for this development, but not a sufficient one. Just as important was the notion of modernity that informed the elaboration of economic and social research programs not only at the University of S\u00e3o Paulo (USP) but also the Higher Institute of Brazilian Studies (ISEB), the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and the Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV). This notion dictated that any country wishing to modernize had to be capitalist, industrial and urban, marking its position in the community of nations, moreover, from a self-determined position, a feat only possible if it managed to create the internal conditions for economic development. Here we can identity at least part of the reason why until very recently the transition to free labour has been interpreted in conjunction with overseas immigration, insisting on a sharp break between the slave-based economy of the past and the new competitive environment. It is as though the slavocratic regime had been buried with abolition without passing on to the future any of its general dynamic (and inertia). Qualifying and complicating this interpretation, the more recent literature enables us to formulate strong hypotheses that emphasize, along with the evident ruptures, deep continuities with the earlier slavery system in the process of building capitalism in Brazil.4\n\nThe first hypothesis is that the S\u00e3o Paulo model of transition to free labour was by no means typical or representative of what happened in the rest of the country. In many ways, S\u00e3o Paulo was the exception, since it was only there that immigration was presented (and implemented) as the sole possible solution for what contemporaries perceived as \u0091the workforce problem.'5 In states like Minas Gerais, Rio Grande do Sul, Bahia, Pernambuco, Cear\u00e1 or Maranh\u00e3o, production work (in farming or mining, in the pampas or in the towns) was gradually taken over by former slaves and their descendents, as well as free Brazilians. Previously seen as merely peripheral agents in the slavery system, the social status of the latter has been entirely revised by new research. In Pernambuco, for example, at the start of the 1870s when immigration had already won over the minds of the S\u00e3o Paulo elite, most rural work was undertaken by free men whose smallholdings had been expropriated from the end of the 18th century onwards, as Pal\u00e1cios demonstrates.6 According to the author, this led analysts of the transition to free labour to believe that the process had been \u0091smooth' and \u0091painless' in Pernambuco, when in fact the (violent) expropriation of the peasantry had taken place decades earlier, freeing the workforce needed by sugar plantations from the 1850s onwards, a period during which the exodus of slaves to the S\u00e3o Paulo coffee industry intensified. This phenomenon occurred throughout the Northeast,7 as well as Minas Gerais and the South: when foreign immigration to S\u00e3o Paulo began, captive labour represented just a small minority. These events suggest that there was not just one single transition to free labour (or, as Fragoso suggests, to \u0091non-slave' labour, since in the 18th and 19th centuries most free men were subject to various forms of forced labour),8 but various transitions at distinct historical moments across different regions of the country.\n\nRegional differences in the pace of transition reflect another important aspect of the slavocratic system: the existence of distinct forms of slavery. Today we have a much clearer understanding of the different regimes for subjugating captives employed in the sugar plantations of Pernambuco or Bahia, the southern Brazilian pampas, the gold and diamond mines of Minas Gerais, the coffee plantations of the Para\u00edba Valley, the small towns in the interior of S\u00e3o Paulo state, a large city such as Rio de Janeiro or the sugar plantations. In the latter case, for example, occupational hierarchies distinguished slaves according to their adeptness in using machinery, their capacity to produce sugar to a particular standard of quality and so on, generating expectations of social mobility and emancipation that simply did not exist in the sugarcane and cotton fields.9\n\nIn the Northeast, small slave owners tended to form less predatory relationships with their workforces, bought at relatively high prices for the economic resources of the majority. They allowed slaves to form families and often released captives in their wills. Furthermore the low capitalization of most of the Northeastern properties meant that slavery coexisted with free (or non-slave) labour at moments of peak demand, such as the sugarcane harvesting period.10 Smallholders who were more or less independent of the big estate owners were called upon seasonally to work on the lands of the slave owners.11 This practice was less frequent in the wealthier regions or on the large sugar plantations where owners had the resources to purchase the slaves needed for the work.\n\nIn the city of Rio de Janeiro slaves had considerable freedom of movement since most of their owners lived from their work as street vendors, palanquin (sedan chair) carriers, or water and waste bearers for wealthy families, or indeed any kind of job compatible with their status as \u0091paid' or \u0091rented' slaves,12 many of whom managed to buy their freedom eventually with their savings.13 This situation", "base_doc": "ado compreenderia uma percep\u00e7\u00e3o rebaixada do trabalho manual, uma imagem depreciativa do negro e mesmo do elemento nacional como trabalhadores, uma indiferen\u00e7a das elites quanto \u00e0s maiorias pobres e uma hierarquia social extremamente r\u00edgida.

In addition, 19th century slavery was very different, especially from 1850 onwards when the price of slaves rose steeply and the predatory use of slaves typical to earlier centuries became economically unviable.\n\nThe identification of different slavery regimes has shown that colonial Brazil was not a homogenous territory dominated", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 153914, "pt_loc": 177448239, "pt_shuffle_idx": 248037696, "doc_index_f": 388805383, "doc_index_l": 388805383, "offset_f": 490, "offset_l": 2538, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 93, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": " person is hypnotized.\n\nLike all other states, it is highly affected by set and setting\u00a0and is somewhat unpredictable. However, many people are put off trying hypnotherapy because they have seen stage hypnotism\u00a0or something like it on television, and fear that if they are hypnotized they will lose control, do something embarrassing, or that they will find the experience unpleasant. Most of the time, the opposite is true. Hypnotherapeutic hypnosis is different\u00a0from stage hypnosis, which is induced for the entertainment of an audience.\n\nThis article describes some common feelings and thought processes people tend to experience while undergoing hypnosis for therapeutic purposes. As hypnosis is experienced differently by people each time they are hypnotized, the description is not going to be an exact fit for every hypnotic subject all of the time. However, if you are considering hypnotherapy, it will give you an idea of what to expect.\n\n\nRelaxation is a central aspect of hypnosis and involves both mental and physical relaxation. Hypnosis does not actually cause relaxation per se, rather, the process of hypnotic induction involves you following the hypnotherapist's suggestions that you relax your mind and body. For example, the hypnotherapist might suggest a feeling of heaviness in one or more parts of your body. Because hypnosis is a collaborative process between the hypnotherapist and client, you might feel inclined to notice a feeling of heaviness in the body part(s) suggested, but it is actually you, not the therapist, who is causing the relaxation.\ufeff\ufeff\n\nUnlike the way that hypnosis is often portrayed, where a hypnotic subject carries out the orders of a hypnotist, the suggestions made by the hypnotherapist are typically communicated as an invitation, not a command. As you think about the suggestions the hypnotherapist makes, you might find yourself thinking something like, \"Actually, it would be really nice to relax right now,\" then find it quite easy to let go of tension, and relax. There is no \"have to\" about it.\n\nIntense Focus\n\nAnother feature of hypnosis is a particular kind of intense mental focus. As with relaxation, this is entirely under the control of the person being hypnotized, not the therapist. Because hypnotherapy typically takes place in a private, quiet space, focusing on the words of the therapist is usually quite natural and straightforward. Most people find it easy to let go of distractions and to focus their attention on the topic the hypnotherapist is talking about.\n\nThe therapist is trained to guide your thought processes in a particular way, that is known to be beneficial in the process of overcoming addictive behavioral, controlling pain, or helping with a variety of other mental, emotional, and behavioral problems, so people under hypnosis will naturally focus on what the therapist is saying.\n\nWith the agreement, called \"informed consent,\" that all good therapists will make with clients before beginning hypnotherapy, you will have already decided with the hypnotherapist the reason you are seeking treatment, and what your goals are for therapy. The therapist will lead the process in a way that allows you to think about your addiction and related problems in a focused way. However, because care is taken to ensure you are relaxed and calm, it is not usually overwhelming, in the way it can be when you have a lot of conflicting information to process.\n\n\nWhen people engage in counseling for addictive behaviors, they typically think of many reasons why the helpful suggestions of the counselor won't work. It can become a long series of \"yes, buts.\" When people are under hypnosis, they often become more open to considering possibilities than they are in their normal, wide-awake state.\ufeff\ufeff This open-mindedness can, in some people, lead to an incredible sense of personal power, in which the person realizes they are capable of much more than they previously thought possible.\n\nAgain, this open-mindedness should not be confused with a lack of control. Although people under hypnosis might find themselves considering things they would not normally, they don't typically do anything that would violate their value system. Instead, there is a sense of possibilities that weren't apparent before, coupled with a willingness to see things differently. Sometimes, people realize their problems with addiction are worsened by inflexible ways of thinking, that disappear under hypnosis.\n\nSensory Changes\n\nHypnosis is well known for its ability to induce unusual sensory experiences, most notably, to allow people to experience sensations such as pain differently from usual. This effect is so profound, that some people have even undergone surgery without an anesthetic.\ufeff\ufeff It can also produce differences in the way that visual and auditory sensations are experienced.\n\nAs with other aspects of hypnosis, these changes are controlled by the person under hypnosis, not by the hypnotherapist, who is simply offering suggestions. Pain perception, for example, is strongly influenced by the level of anxiety being experienced by the person in pain. In a state of deep relaxation, many people find that without the anxiety present, they are more able to disconnect from pain,which leads to the final aspect of hypnosis, detachment.\n\n\nUnder hypnosis, some people experience a sense of detachment, as if they are slightly removed from what they are experiencing.\ufeff\ufeff Some people describe this as observing themselves, as if from outside, or as if they are a character on a TV screen. However, people under hypnosis continue to be aware of where they are, and what they are doing.\n\nThis feeling of detachment can range from feeling involved in the hypnotic process,\u00a0yet observing it as if from an outside point of view simultaneously, to flipping back and forth between watching from the outside to being involved in the experience. Some people don't get this observer effect at\u00a0all, whereas for others, it is very apparent. People can sometimes find this feeling of detachment can help them see situations more objectively, without being caught up in their usual emotions.\n\nA Word From Verywell\n\nThe way people typically describe the feeling of being hypnotized, during hypnotherapy, is to be in a calm, physically, and mentally relaxed state, in which they are able to focus deeply on what they are thinking about. They usually feel open-minded, and willing to think about and experience life differently, often in a more detached way than usual.\n\nThat said, there is no right way to feel when undergoing hypnosis. If you are curious about trying hypnotherapy as a way of treating addiction, make sure that the person you are working with is qualified to treat you. For example, your state psychology licensing board should be able to direct you to psychologists who are qualified in hypnotherapy. A range of health professionals can be trained in hypnotherapy, including physicians, nurses, and dentists, although it is not usually part of their standard training.\n\nWas this page helpful?\nArticle Sources\n 1.

And during their reign Babylonia won out over its enemies as the world\u2019s single superpower.\n\nSo how can two societies with such conflicting memories of the same events ever find a common ground?\n\nThe answer may come in the shape of a figure who arrived on the scene an estimated 1500 years before Nebuchadnezzar: Abraham. Abraham (Ibrahim in Islam) is the father from which all three religions derive. He is the first monotheist. But his story is for another day\u2026\n\nMother of All Sermons\n\nTenth of Tevet\n\n\nDecember 20, 2011\nDecember 8, 2012\nNovember 27, 2013\n\nHanukkah, or \u201cChanukkah\u201d as those in the know call it, is one of the most misunderstood Jewish holidays.

(Hanukkah starts on the 25th of Kislev.)\n\nHanukkah is a minor holiday in Judaism\u2013in theory if not in practice\u2013and isn\u2019t mentioned anywhere in the Hebrew Bible.\n\nThat\u2019s not to say Talmudic scholars haven\u2019t argued about Hanukkah\u2019s customs for ages (Whether, for example, celebrants should light one extra candle per night, or light eight on the first night and take one away each night). But the absence of holiday regulations in the Jewish Scriptures may have contributed to Hanukkah\u2019s ability to adapt to various cultures of the Jewish diaspora.\n\nHanukkah History\n\nAfter the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC, the land around Jerusalem came under the power of the Seleucid Empire.\n\nBy the 2nd century BC, the Jews of and around Jerusalem were in the midst an identity crisis: whether to maintain their own religious traditions or to assimilate into Hellenistic culture. Many Jews in the cities were willing to adopt Greek ways. According to 1 Maccabees:\n\nIn those days there appeared in Israel men who were breakers of the law, and they seduced many people, saying \u201cLet us go and make an alliance with the Gentiles all around us\u2026Thereupon they built a gymnasium in Jerusalem according to the Gentile custom. They covered over the mark of their circumcision and abandoned the holy covenant\u2026\n\nNow back then the gym wasn\u2019t Bally\u2019s. It was the center of Greek social life, where men discussed topics of the day in the nude, a practice which went against Jewish law, and a place where Jewish men could not easily hide the 8th-day snip.\n\nThe Seleucid Emperor Antiochus set forth increasingly harsher restrictions on Jewish rituals, including the killing of newly-circumsized babies. He replaced the Jewish High Priest with his own puppet priest, turned Jewish temples into pagan ones, and eventually forbade the practice of Judaism altogether.\n\nOne religious leader known as Mattathias refused to make a sacrifice to a pagan god in the temple. When a Hellenized Jew attempted to make the sacrifice in his name, Mattathias killed the Jew as well as one of the king\u2019s messengers. Mattathias then fled to the countryside with his 5 sons, and recruited traditionalist Jews to join his cause.\n\nAfter Mattathias\u2019 death, his son Judas \u201cthe Hammer\u201d Maccabee (Maccabee means hammer) led a revolt against the Greek establishment. According to 1 Maccabees, despite being greatly outnumbered, Maccabee\u2019s rag-tag crew defeated the opposing forces and re-consecrated the temple.\n\nWhat\u2019s up with the candles?\n\nThe miracle of the \u201cFestival of Lights\u201d was that the Jews only had enough oil to keep the temple\u2019s sacred flame alight for one night. However, the flame stayed alight for eight days. For this reason, Jews continue to light an eight-candle \u201cmenorah\u201d every year. The great Jewish philosopher Hillel won out on the menorah debate: Jews light one candle on the first night, and one more candle every night thereafter.\n\n[One Jewish-Persian custom is to light eight candles the first night of Hanukah and eight more candles each additional night for a total of 64 on the eighth night, although we suspect this tradition was started by the Jewish-Persian candle-makers union.]\n\nHanukkah Ironica\n\nHanukkah originally represented a victory of Jewish culture over assimilation into Greek culture. However, much of the importance that Hanukkah has today is the direct result of assimilation.\n\nThe observance of Chanukkah grew in importance during the 19th and 20th centuries in predominantly Christian nations such as the United States, as Jewish culture sought to adapt to the growing influence of of Christmas. Modern Hanukkah traditions such as gift-giving are borrowed straight from Christmas, which is of course celebrated around the same time of year, and which owes many of its own traditions to solstice festivals of the Greco-Romans. So in a sense, over 2000 years later, Greek influence is still going strong.\n\nIlse, the spiritually-confused Maltese\n\nHanukkah is a modern example of how holidays continuously change by synthesizing attributes of merging cultures. It\u2019s the type of transition that took place countless times in ancient and medieval history, though detailed records of such transitions have all too often been lost to time or intentionally obscured.\n\nSimchat Torah\n\nOctober 20-21, 2011\n\nSeptember 29 \u2013 October 1, 2010\n\nOctober 10-11, 2009\n\nSimchat Torah means \u201cRejoicing in the Torah.\u201d\n\nThe Torah is comprised of the first five books of the Bible, also known as the Pentateuch. Portions are read in the synagogue throughout the year, from the first chapter of Genesis (\u201cIn the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth\u201d) to the last chapter of Deuteronomy (\u201cThe Death of Moses\u201d).\n\n\nIn Hebrew it\u2019s called Bereshit, or \u201cIn the Beginning.\u201d\n\nGenesis is the \u201cfun\u201d book.

The Exodus tells the story of Charlton Heston, or \u201cMoses\u201d, in Egypt. It includes the Ten Plagues, the parting of the Red Sea,\u00a0and the Ten Commandments, which God gave Moses to civilize the ancient Hebrews when they were cow-worshippers in the desert.

So it is not difficult to see how he could be regarded as a national hero to one people, even though\u00a0he brought about the near annihilation of his enemies.\n\nThe strange truth is, though Baghdad sits near what was once Babylon, the ancient civilization bears little resemblance to Iraq. To the Judeans Babylonia symbolized the boundless superpower. An ostentatious empire governed by decadence, arrogance and amorality.\n\nIts leader was the son of the former leader\u00a0Nabopolassar. Both father and son waged large military campaigns in the Middle East. And during their reign Babylonia won out over its enemies as the world\u2019s single superpower.\n\nSo how can two societies with such conflicting memories of the same events ever find a common ground?\n\nThe answer may come in the shape of a figure who arrived on the scene an estimated 1500 years before Nebuchadnezzar: Abraham.

In fact, we don\u2019t even know what \u201cHanukkah\u201d means. Many believe it means \u201cdedication\u201d; others say it\u2019s an acronym for \u201cThey rested on the 25th\u201d. (Hanukkah starts on the 25th of Kislev.)\n\nHanukkah is a minor holiday in Judaism\u2013in theory if not in practice\u2013and isn\u2019t mentioned anywhere in the Hebrew Bible.\n\nThat\u2019s not to say Talmudic scholars haven\u2019t argued about Hanukkah\u2019s customs for ages (Whether, for example, celebrants should light one extra candle per night, or light eight on the first night and take one away each night).

They didn\u2019t trust the governor to act with restraint, so they made his office weak. They didn\u2019t trust the Legislature to be prudent with the taxpayers\u2019 money, so they created the comptroller of public accounts to act as an independent watchdog over the state budget. The weak governor has worked out pretty well (especially, some would say, at this moment), but if you took a poll at the Capitol these days, the idea of an independent comptroller would not get rave reviews. I doubt that the authors of the constitution ever envisioned someone quite as independent as Carole Keeton Strayhorn.\n\nMost politicians abide by the ancient wisdom of the profession that \u201cthe way to get along is to go along.\u201d They avoid speaking ill of one another. They try not to pick fights gratuitously. They tie down their ambitions so they don\u2019t flap in the wind. They grab a headline when the opportunity presents itself, but not too obviously and not too often. Strayhorn is the antithesis of a go-along politician. For the past four years she has engaged in a high-risk guerrilla strategy of seizing every chance to blast, waylay, and otherwise embarrass the governor, the lieutenant governor, and, occasionally, the Speaker\u2014all of whom, of course, are members of her own Republican party. They retaliated by stripping her office of two high-profile money-saving programs that were her best source of positive headlines. The Capitol has seen nothing like this kind of continual high-stakes feuding in half a century, since the days when U.S. senator Lyndon Johnson, Governor Allan Shivers, and the champion of the liberals, Ralph Yarborough, fought each other for control of the then-dominant Democratic party.\n\nAll of this would be merely cause for amusement and speculation if the calendar was not showing late spring of an odd-numbered year, which means that the days left in the legislative session are few and the path ahead is perilous. A lot is at stake\u2014a $140 billion state budget and reforms of the state\u2019s school finance system and tax structure\u2014and all of it must go through Strayhorn. That\u2019s why she is the \u00a0focal point of attention, the talk of Austin\u2019s steakhouses and watering holes. The comptroller has judge-and-jury power over spending. Her constitutional power dates from a World War II\u2014era provision decreeing that \u201cno bill containing an appropriation shall be considered as passed or be sent to the Governor for consideration until and unless the Comptroller of Public Accounts endorses his certificate thereon showing that the amount appropriated is within the amount estimated to be available\u2026\u201d In other words, the budget has to balance, and Strayhorn is the enforcer. She alone determines how much revenue the state can expect to amass during the next two years, and if, in her opinion, it is not enough, she can refuse to certify the budget. And then it is D-E-A-D dead. Her decision can be overridden by a four-fifths vote of the House and Senate, but who, in this fiscally conservative state, is going to cast a vote for profligacy?\n\nThis is the prospect that has the entire Capitol in a tizzy: that she\u2019s tough enough and ornery enough and ambitious enough to bust the budget; that even if the leadership triumvirate of Rick Perry, David Dewhurst, and Tom Craddick can agree on taxes and spending and schools\u2014which\u00a0is no sure thing, since they, and especially Dewhurst and Craddick, aren\u2019t exactly palsy-walsy either\u2014Strayhorn will render their efforts moot. As paranoid scenarios go (and are there any other kind in politics?), this one is not particularly far-fetched, considering that she initially refused to certify the budget in 2003, and only some frantic last-minute deal making caused her to relent.\n\nWhat is Strayhorn up to? There are two theories. The rational explanation is that she is positioning herself to challenge Perry in the Republican primary next spring\u2014or, if Kay Bailey Hutchison leaves the U.S. Senate to run for governor, she\u2019ll take the best vacancy available, which could be lieutenant governor if Dewhurst chooses to run for Hutchison\u2019s seat. At the same time, the savants around the Capitol argue that her bomb-throwing tactics have hurt her with Republican primary voters. If so, then the rational theory falls apart, leading to the realm of conjecture: that she is a woman scorned and determined to get her due. She is the successor to two powerful and respected comptrollers\u2014Bob Bullock and John Sharp, both Democrats, who reinvented the office to give it a substantive role in state policy\u2014but her ideas, unlike theirs, have been ignored by the state\u2019s leaders, who, it might be pointed out, happen to be of a different gender. The recurring slights, together with the ideological direction in which the leadership has taken the state, drive her to distraction.\n\nThe question, then, comes down to this: Is Carole Keeton Strayhorn crazy like a fox? Or is she just plain crazy?\n\n\u201cBOB BULLOCK TOLD ME, \u2018Never trust anybody.\u2019\u201d Strayhorn is sitting at the end of a long table in her office, talking about the two conversations she had had with Bullock before he died, during her first year in office.

It was he who lifted the agency out of the green-eyeshades era by recognizing the power inherent in its constitutional mandate. He foresaw that the Legislature would always arrive at the end of the session desperate for more money to meet the state\u2019s manifold needs and that the comptroller was the person who could give it to them. So he would lowball his revenue estimate, leaving something on the table that he could give the Legislature in its hour of need\u2014for a price, of course. \u201cDo you know how this office got computers?\u201d Strayhorn asks me. \u201cIt was the evening of sine die [the last night of the session], and he went to the Capitol to\n\n\nMore Texas Monthly\n\nLoading, please wait...\n\nMost Read\n\n \u2022 Viewed\n \u2022 Past:\n \u2022 1 week<|endoftext|>The following are multiple choice questions (with answers) about high school microeconomics.\n\nThe sales tax that you pay at the grocery store is commonly labeled a\nA. progressive tax.\nB. regressive tax.\nC. proportional tax.\nD. excise tax.\nAnswer: B<|endoftext|>1.

And then it is D-E-A-D dead. Her decision can be overridden by a four-fifths vote of the House and Senate, but who, in this fiscally conservative state, is going to cast a vote for profligacy?\n\nThis is the prospect that has the entire Capitol in a tizzy: that she\u2019s tough enough and ornery enough and ambitious enough to bust the budget; that even if the leadership triumvirate of Rick Perry, David Dewhurst, and Tom Craddick can agree on taxes and spending and schools\u2014which\u00a0is no sure thing, since they, and especially Dewhurst and Craddick, aren\u2019t exactly palsy-walsy either\u2014Strayhorn will render their efforts moot. As paranoid scenarios go (and are there any other kind in politics?), this one is not particularly far-fetched, considering that she initially refused to certify the budget in 2003, and only some frantic last-minute deal making caused her to relent.\n\nWhat is Strayhorn up to? There are two theories. The rational explanation is that she is positioning herself to challenge Perry in the Republican primary next spring\u2014or, if Kay Bailey Hutchison leaves the U.S. Senate to run for governor, she\u2019ll take the best vacancy available, which could be lieutenant governor if Dewhurst chooses to run for Hutchison\u2019s seat. At the same time, the savants around the Capitol argue that her bomb-throwing tactics have hurt her with Republican primary voters. If so, then the rational theory falls apart, leading to the realm of conjecture: that she is a woman scorned and determined to get her due. She is the successor to two powerful and respected comptrollers\u2014Bob Bullock and John Sharp, both Democrats, who reinvented the office to give it a substantive role in state policy\u2014but her ideas, unlike theirs, have been ignored by the state\u2019s leaders, who, it might be pointed out, happen to be of a different gender. The recurring slights, together with the ideological direction in which the leadership has taken the state, drive her to distraction.\n\nThe question, then, comes down to this: Is Carole Keeton Strayhorn crazy like a fox? Or is she just plain crazy?\n\n\u201cBOB BULLOCK TOLD ME, \u2018Never trust anybody.\u2019\u201d Strayhorn is sitting at the end of a long table in her office, talking about the two conversations she had had with Bullock before he died, during her first year in office. If Texas comptrollers had a patron saint\u2014and if the obstreperous Bullock had had a single cell that qualified for sainthood\u2014he would be it. It was he who lifted the agency out of the green-eyeshades era by recognizing the power inherent in its constitutional mandate. He foresaw that the Legislature would always arrive at the end of the session desperate for more money to meet the state\u2019s manifold needs and that the comptroller was the person who could give it to them. So he would lowball his revenue estimate, leaving something on the table that he could give the Legislature in its hour of need\u2014for a price, of course. \u201cDo you know how this office got computers?\u201d Strayhorn asks me. \u201cIt was the evening of sine die [the last night of the session], and he went to the Capitol to\n\n\nMore Texas Monthly\n\nLoading, please wait...\n\nMost Read\n\n \u2022 Viewed\n \u2022 Past:\n \u2022 1 week<|endoftext|>1.

If you have stirred up some strong emotions it may be a good idea to take a walk, have a cup of tea and reflect on how you feel before going back to your day.\n 12. You may need to repeat this practice a few times in order to fully block the belief and replace it with a more positive one. These kind of beliefs are often stored for many years, and we sometimes begin to associate them with the very core of who we are, so it is not surprising that they may take a few attempts to release.\n\nMaking a shift in your belief system will not only help alleviate your physical symptoms, and improve your emotional well being, but will help you reassess how you see yourself and the world around you. Knowing that you have the clarity to observe, and ability to release, the beliefs that no longer serve you is very liberating. Make a conscious effort to reinforce a new belief by observing your reactions in similar situations and changing how you react to them. You may find yourself repeating the old belief at first, but don\u2019t get discouraged\u2026 if you are mindful and consistent, your new belief system will begin to take hold and become second nature.\n\nNo comments yet\n\nAdd new comment<|endoftext|>Mountain Majesty: The History of CODEP Haiti \u2013 Where Sustainable Agricultural Development Works, Volume I\n$16.99eBook: $7.99\nSeries: Mountain Majesty, Book 1\nGenres: Haiti, History, Sustainable Development\nTags: Haiti, Recommended Books\nPublisher: Dudley Court Press\nPublication Year: 2016\nLength: 208 pages\nASIN: 1940013216\nISBN: 9781940013213\n\nPoverty is everywhere in Haiti. Rural children go barefoot and suffer from malnutrition. High unemployment, lack of infrastructure and political instability take their toll. In the mountains, the land lays barren, the soil is depleted. When Haitian plant food, the new plants wash away in the rains.\n\nMountain Majesty: The History of CODEP Haiti Where Sustainable Agricultural Development Works tells the story of an inspiring sustainable agricultural development project that began with the recognition by Jack Hanna that the solution to poverty in Haiti\u2019s Cormier Valley region lay in addressing the entire watershed, not just a few local gardens. CODEP Haiti, during its 25-year history, has championed reforestation and soil erosion control along with creative solutions to engaging locals and, ultimately, converting a church subsidized development program into a self-sustaining, locally managed enterprise.\n\nBuy now!\nAbout the Book\n\nIs it possible to change the world through sustainable agricultural development?\n\nMountain Majesty: The History of CODEP Haiti Where Sustainable Agricultural Development Works takes an in-depth look at a unique organization that has improved the lives of thousands of rural Haitians through sustainable agricultural development.\n\nTogether, Jack and Evelyn Hanna embarked on their dream retirement. They outfitted a boat to cruise the Caribbean islands and planned to do volunteer work where they could. But a chance encounter with a desperate Barbadian woman challenged their assumptions and ultimately changed the course of countless lives from another island in the region.\n\nRural Haitian kids often go hungry. They wear tattered clothing and have no shoes. Many people suffer from malnutrition and severe poverty. Hurricanes, floods, deforestation and soil erosion, coupled with political instability, high unemployment and a lack of infrastructure conspire to prevent them from being able to grow enough food to feed their families.\n\nIn Haiti\u2019s Cormier Valley, Jack saw the terrain \u2013 \u201chuge patches of completely barren land\u2014no trees, huge gullies, no soil\u2014incapable of sustaining life, plant or animal\u201d \u2013 and recognized that the only way to help the people of the Cormier Valley was to address the whole watershed area through sustainable agriculture.\n\nCODEP was brought to life by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), working with local Haitians and NGOs. They embarked on an ambitious reforestation and erosion control project to ultimately improve the economic conditions for rural Haitians in the Cormier Valley.\n\nSustainable agricultural development is challenging work, but locals saw first-hand just what it could do for their community. They dug ditches and bolstered mountainsides. They germinated, grew and planted trees. They overcame interference from goats, insects and embargos. They upgraded infrastructure and slowly secured additional land for planting.\n\nCODEP has encouraged responsible ecological stewardship and reaping the benefits of long-term rewards. Their project solutions are more attractive than the common practice of cutting down trees for charcoal and some quick cash. As a result, CODEP is one of the more successful agricultural development projects in Haiti, and possibly in the world.\n\nNowadays, beautiful fruit trees grow in the forest shade and the people of Cormier Valley are healthier than ever before.\n\nMountain Majesty: The History of CODEP Haiti Where Sustainable Agricultural Development Works documents this fascinating change from environmental degradation to habitat redemption, where environmental rehabilitation led to the restoration of human dignity.\n\nA deeply personal story, Mountain Majesty profiles leaders and participants like the Haitians Edvy and Nw\u00e8l and project architects Jack and Rodney, exploring their lives, motivations and actions.\n\nIt also addresses the management issues that non-profits and church mission projects often face.\n\n 1. How can we really help the people we want to help?\n 2. How do we secure more funding?\n 3. How do we ensure stakeholder participation?\n 4. How can we identify and develop local leaders?\n 5. How do we adequately set goals and measure progress?\n 6. How can we keep donors happy?\n 7. How do we balance competing interests?\n 8. How do we keep moving forward when the founder leaves?\n 9. How do we ensure sustainability?\n\nThese are some of the questions that keep nonprofits awake at night, and some of the lessons offered by this book.\n\nMountain Majesty: A History of CODEP Haiti Where Sustainable Agricultural Development Works is a fascinating look at what it takes to change the world.\n\nAbout the Author\nJohn V.

Do they still affect you now, and do they help you or hold you back in your present life?\n 9. If you see that a belief or coping mechanism no longer serves you, hold the space of light and Unconditional Love and ask yourself what would this belief be if it was aligned with Universal Truth and your Divine Self?\n 10. Breathe in this new belief and let it fill your heart. Breathe out and release the negative belief and visualize it leaving your body.\n 11. When you are ready to stop, gently open your eyes and continue to breathe mindfully. If you have stirred up some strong emotions it may be a good idea to take a walk, have a cup of tea and reflect on how you feel before going back to your day.\n 12. You may need to repeat this practice a few times in order to fully block the belief and replace it with a more positive one. These kind of beliefs are often stored for many years, and we sometimes begin to associate them with the very core of who we are, so it is not surprising that they may take a few attempts to release.\n\nMaking a shift in your belief system will not only help alleviate your physical symptoms, and improve your emotional well being, but will help you reassess how you see yourself and the world around you. Knowing that you have the clarity to observe, and ability to release, the beliefs that no longer serve you is very liberating. Make a conscious effort to reinforce a new belief by observing your reactions in similar situations and changing how you react to them. You may find yourself repeating the old belief at first, but don\u2019t get discouraged\u2026 if you are mindful and consistent, your new belief system will begin to take hold and become second nature.\n\nNo comments yet\n\nAdd new comment<|endoftext|>Mountain Majesty: The History of CODEP Haiti \u2013 Where Sustainable Agricultural Development Works, Volume I\n$16.99eBook: $7.99\nSeries: Mountain Majesty, Book 1\nGenres: Haiti, History, Sustainable Development\nTags: Haiti, Recommended Books\nPublisher: Dudley Court Press\nPublication Year: 2016\nLength: 208 pages\nASIN: 1940013216\nISBN: 9781940013213\n\nPoverty is everywhere in Haiti. Rural children go barefoot and suffer from malnutrition. High unemployment, lack of infrastructure and political instability take their toll. In the mountains, the land lays barren, the soil is depleted. When Haitian plant food, the new plants wash away in the rains.\n\nMountain Majesty: The History of CODEP Haiti Where Sustainable Agricultural Development Works tells the story of an inspiring sustainable agricultural development project that began with the recognition by Jack Hanna that the solution to poverty in Haiti\u2019s Cormier Valley region lay in addressing the entire watershed, not just a few local gardens. CODEP Haiti, during its 25-year history, has championed reforestation and soil erosion control along with creative solutions to engaging locals and, ultimately, converting a church subsidized development program into a self-sustaining, locally managed enterprise.\n\nBuy now!\nAbout the Book\n\nIs it possible to change the world through sustainable agricultural development?\n\nMountain Majesty: The History of CODEP Haiti Where Sustainable Agricultural Development Works takes an in-depth look at a unique organization that has improved the lives of thousands of rural Haitians through sustainable agricultural development.\n\nTogether, Jack and Evelyn Hanna embarked on their dream retirement. They outfitted a boat to cruise the Caribbean islands and planned to do volunteer work where they could. But a chance encounter with a desperate Barbadian woman challenged their assumptions and ultimately changed the course of countless lives from another island in the region.\n\nRural Haitian kids often go hungry. They wear tattered clothing and have no shoes. Many people suffer from malnutrition and severe poverty. Hurricanes, floods, deforestation and soil erosion, coupled with political instability, high unemployment and a lack of infrastructure conspire to prevent them from being able to grow enough food to feed their families.\n\nIn Haiti\u2019s Cormier Valley, Jack saw the terrain \u2013 \u201chuge patches of completely barren land\u2014no trees, huge gullies, no soil\u2014incapable of sustaining life, plant or animal\u201d \u2013 and recognized that the only way to help the people of the Cormier Valley was to address the whole watershed area through sustainable agriculture.\n\nCODEP was brought to life by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), working with local Haitians and NGOs. They embarked on an ambitious reforestation and erosion control project to ultimately improve the economic conditions for rural Haitians in the Cormier Valley.\n\nSustainable agricultural development is challenging work, but locals saw first-hand just what it could do for their community. They dug ditches and bolstered mountainsides. They germinated, grew and planted trees. They overcame interference from goats, insects and embargos. They upgraded infrastructure and slowly secured additional land for planting.\n\nCODEP has encouraged responsible ecological stewardship and reaping the benefits of long-term rewards. Their project solutions are more attractive than the common practice of cutting down trees for charcoal and some quick cash. As a result, CODEP is one of the more successful agricultural development projects in Haiti, and possibly in the world.\n\nNowadays, beautiful fruit trees grow in the forest shade and the people of Cormier Valley are healthier than ever before.\n\nMountain Majesty: The History of CODEP Haiti Where Sustainable Agricultural Development Works documents this fascinating change from environmental degradation to habitat redemption, where environmental rehabilitation led to the restoration of human dignity.\n\nA deeply personal story, Mountain Majesty profiles leaders and participants like the Haitians Edvy and Nw\u00e8l and project architects Jack and Rodney, exploring their lives, motivations and actions.\n\nIt also addresses the management issues that non-profits and church mission projects often face.\n\n 1. How can we really help the people we want to help?\n 2. How do we secure more funding?\n 3. How do we ensure stakeholder participation?\n 4. How can we identify and develop local leaders?\n 5. How do we adequately set goals and measure progress?\n 6. How can we keep donors happy?\n 7. How do we balance competing interests?\n 8. How do we keep moving forward when the founder leaves?\n 9. How do we ensure sustainability?\n\nThese are some of the questions that keep nonprofits awake at night, and some of the lessons offered by this book.\n\nMountain Majesty: A History of CODEP Haiti Where Sustainable Agricultural Development Works is a fascinating look at what it takes to change the world.\n\nAbout the Author\nJohn V.

Americana drops both balls.\n\n\nDelillo writes about image and death and it seems that most of his characters are fascinated by war and terrorism, whether it\u2019s David Bell from Americana or Gary Harkness of End Zone. At times it\u2019s as if Delillo is writing thru a video camera and there\u2019s a sense of excellent cinematography in all of Delillo\u2019s work. Americana is Don Delillo\u2019s first novel and I loved it but felt that the third part was lacking something, it didn\u2019t do a lot for me and felt the other three parts were much better. I liked the nine mile race track in the end of Americana and when David Bell is in his NYC high rise office in the beginning looking out the window at the Mohawk skyscraper workers working on a skeleton of a high-rise building going up, it\u2019s at this point, a scene only Delillo can write, that you feel David Bell's need to escape. Wonderful and ruff around the edges a brilliant first novel\n\n\nAll of DeLillo's major themes are here: Fear of death, power of the image (image vs. reality), society vs. the individual. His signature style is here as well; pretty amazing that he nailed it in his first go-round. That said, it feels a bit like he was trying to get everything in, as if this might be his last chance to say it. Most sentences shine in typical DeLillo fashion, but more than a few fall slightly flat; if you're familiar enough with his work you'll catch 'em. Also, things tend to drag a bit when he goes off on his abstract, stylistic musings on philosophy and what have you. Parts one and two are fantastic, and the end is great. DeLillo is at his most (seemingly) personal and (possibly) autobiographical in Part II, which is a full-on flashback to the narrator's childhood. Most of the BS is disposed of, and we get, as mentioned, an uncharacteristically warm, sincere, personal, and emotional DeLillo. This would read as an excellent novella, in fact. The novel is at its worst when the characters are on the road, which is admittedly infrequent. It reads like Harrison's \"A Good Day to Die,\" or a really bad \"On the Road,\" but again this makes up maybe ten percent of the book, despite people calling this a \"road novel.\" Anyway, a pretty good intro to DeLillo, though unfortunately far from flawless. Up front, it seems as if this might be his best novel, though it's not to be. Thankfully he kept at it, though.\n\n\nMy first book by Delillo to read. It was underwhelming to say the least.The first half of the book is a rather good shakedown of the life of an executive, with the secretaries, alcohol, and debauchery. Honestly it took me a long time to read this for being as short as it is. I found his aspirations to be more inline with french new wave in film by trying to create a disjointed narrative. All of the long somewhat stream of conscientiousness paragraphs, or Sullivan's story near the end. It felt verbose to me, if he wanted to be abstract, word economy would have been a better choice. Also his style would have dramatic changes, most notably the last forty pages reading like On the Road by Jack Kerouac, or rather a cheap imitation. I'm going to read another one of his books, probably Libra or White Noise.\n\nMariano Hortal\n\nPublicado en habl\u00e9 de su novela \u201cLos nombres\u201d , ya coment\u00e9 la necesidad de establecer diferentes ritmos de lectura seg\u00fan los autores que se lean.

In many situations, they are typically caused by the carelessness of others and this creates a platform for claims such as personal injury and property damage. The law outlines that anyone injured as a result of another person\u2019s carelessness should be paid for their suffering.\n\nWhether or not you are at fault, you need a lawyer to protect your rights throughout the claim process. There are federal laws outlining the rights of drivers, passengers, and pedestrians, and accident attorneys are familiar with them like the back of their hands. If you are affected by an accident because the other party was careless, a lawyer will help you claim your compensation. If you are at fault, you will need an attorney to ensure that you are not taken advantage of by the claimant.\n\nWhether or not you are at fault, you will have to deal with insurance companies and you will need a lawyer\u2019s negotiation skills. Some insurance companies are stubborn and can take you for a ride to avoid paying you. Having an attorney on your side is a catalyst for making them act responsibly because they know they would lose more if they were to be taken to court for not complying with rules and regulations. When you are on the wrong, you are likely to face increased premium by your insurance company. An attorney can help you either prevent the rise in premium or have it reduced to a lesser amount.\n\nTherefore, when choosing an accident attorney to work with you should ensure that he or she understands the laws in your state. They must be fully aware of all laws to ensure that they make their judgment correctly. Building a case from a wrong perspective can make you lose once it is challenged by the other parties.\n\nNext, you must select an accident lawyer who is experienced in the field. A lawyer develops expertise which gives him or her clarity in their work after practicing law for many years. An experienced attorney knows all the steps to take with your case from the moment you request for their services because they do this regularly. Their experience with other cases like yours guide them to make a strong case for you void of errors made in previous cases.\n\nTo locate the best accident lawyer in Suffolk to work with, you can either ask for recommendations from friends and other lawyers or search through the Internet. Note that, many attorneys do not advertise because they rely on recommendations, but nowadays a lot of them are now putting up websites for their firms or personal use.

Health is not merely the absence of disease. Health is the state of wellbeing and full functionality that enables the individual/family/community to fulfill their life purpose and enjoy life to its fullest.\nTo heal is something you do for yourself. Healing is something your body or your mind does. Healing is active for the person that does it. Healing does not require a diagnosis. It is even not always necessary for a person to go to a doctor at all to heal.\n\nHealing is a natural process that occurs automatically, given the right conditions \u2014 the body and mind restoring its own functioning. Healing is a consequence of right living. The person who heals is responsible for his or her own healing. Healing occurs when and only when the cause of the disease is removed. Healing occurs only when the person cooperates with nature and properly cares for him/herself. Healing requires an expenditure of energy on the part of the person who is in the process of healing. No other person can heal you.\n\nThe process of healing is not a war. A person healing is not at war with their disease. A person who is healing or has healed has made peace with their disease. They have come to view their disease as their temporary ally. A person who heals has come to realize that their symptoms are in fact a sign of health. They have come to view their disease as their guide for changing their behavior. The changes needed are those that will if assiduously followed will restore health. Their symptoms are the normal messages from their body that they are not taking proper care of themselves. Or they are the signs that their body is in the process of healing and are notices that behavior change is needed to cooperate with this process.\n\nHealing requires not a faith in others but a faith in oneself. Healing is a spiritual act. It requires a faith in the goodness of God. It requires obedience to right action the laws of nature represent. Healing occurs in the nexus of the person healing and God.\n\nA person who is a healer is someone who helps the person realize that it is they themselves who does the healing. A healer has the skill and wisdom to help a person become aware of the messages their body is giving them \u2014 not just the pain, bodily/mental dysfunction or the disability, but also more subtle messages that are leading them to change their behavior. These behavioral changes lead them to live in harmony with nature. A healer can at best help nudge a person in the direction of health.

Healing is acceptance of what is here and now as in harmony and in right order. Healing is surrender. Surrender of the ego centric, childish and selfish attitude that one is entitled to do whatever one pleases without consequences that can later be erased with a check, health insurance or credit card. Healing is an act of love \u2014 love of life itself.\n\nHealers are not sick people. Anyone can heal yet only a wise person who has healed or is healing himself or herself can be a healer.

But if you're a parent, a more compelling question may be: \"What can I do to make sure my kids succeed in life?\" According to researchers, one attribute that certainly helps: resilience. Instead of being victims, resilient people see themselves as being in control of their destinies. As a result, they tend grow and get better when bad things happen, instead of crumpling.\n\nThere are things you can do to build the resilience muscle in your kids. That's according to Stephanie Marston, psychotherapist, stress and work-life expert, five-time author, corporate consultant and co-author of Type R: Transformative Resilience for Thriving in a Turbulent World. Here are her words on how to help children build what she calls Transformative Resilience (TR)--or a \"Type R\" personality--to not only survive but thrive in a turbulent and rapidly changing world.\n\n1. Let your kids see you be an agent of change rather than a passive complainer.\n\nParents are the architects of the family--they set the tone, particularly when children are young. Children, especially young children learn by example. To paraphrase Ralph Waldo Emerson, who we are and what we do speaks louder to our kids than anything we say. Increasing Transformative Resilience in children requires showing them that the adults in their lives are consistently able to pick themselves up in the face of setbacks. That's an attitude and behavior they're going to adopt.\n\n2. Help kids manage their emotions.\n\nLearning to respond empathically to our children's emotions is critical in helping raise Type R kids. When children are upset they need a place to vent their feelings. Feelings which are denied come out later as temper tantrums, hitting or bad dreams. Conversely, when children express emotions, adult empathy helps them not only to feel understood, but to feel as if they have an ally who respects them. For it to work, though, you need be fully present and give your undivided attention.\n\n3. Let them\u00a0make mistakes.\n\nExperimentation and learning are essential as kids build their skills. Making mistakes is an integral part of the process.\u00a0 If your child fails at something it doesn't mean that they are a failure, it gives them information about what not to do in the future.\n\n4. Help them develop their \"struggle muscle\" by taking responsibility for their choices.\n\nTeaching children to confront challenges and find solutions sets important precedents and cultivates skills that they will call upon throughout their lives. To do it, help them understand connections between choices they make and the outcomes. Then, help them be accountable. While they may struggle with the consequences of not studying for a test in time, teach them they have the ability to take responsibility and make different choices in the future. When they feel they have the physical and psychological resources to face challenges, they are more likely to participate, assume responsibilities and contribute rather than being avoidant. A rule of thumb is:\u00a0 Don't do for your kids what they can do for themselves.\u00a0\n\n5. Foster compassion and social justice.\n\nDemonstrate to children how they can stand up for themselves as well as others, how to express empathy and understanding, how to take caring actions, and how to integrate service into their everyday lives. This is now more important than ever in a world of income inequality, increasing prejudice, and a coarsening of cultural values. As Gandhi said, \"You must be the change you wish to see in the world.\" If the significant adults in children's lives follow this notion, and act with kindness, thoughtfulness, and caring, kids will be more likely to follow the example.\n\nPublished on: Jan 12, 2018<|endoftext|>Wednesday, August 20, 2008\n\nWork = Tired\n\nI am definitely not used to working yet.\n\nI get up at 6am (okay, today I got up at 7am and let my hair hang curly so I could sleep the extra hour), drive to work (it is so glorious driving the opposite way of traffic), work (I am still orienting and school doesn't start for kids until Monday so it's pretty uneventful), drive home from work, take Kona out, decompress (i.e. sit on the couch), make dinner/", "base_doc": " in modern occidental society ever operate outside of this paradigm.\n\nIt is not necessary for the person administering the cure to be healthy.

But if you're a parent, a more compelling question may be: \"What can I do to make sure my kids succeed in life?\" According to researchers, one attribute that certainly helps: resilience. Instead of being victims, resilient people see themselves as being in control of their destinies. As a result, they tend grow and get better when bad things happen, instead of crumpling.\n\nThere are things you can do to build the resilience muscle in your kids. That's according to Stephanie Marston, psychotherapist, stress and work-life expert, five-time author, corporate consultant and co-author of Type R: Transformative Resilience for Thriving in a Turbulent World. Here are her words on how to help children build what she calls Transformative Resilience (TR)--or a \"Type R\" personality--to not only survive but thrive in a turbulent and rapidly changing world.\n\n1. Let your kids see you be an agent of change rather than a passive complainer.\n\nParents are the architects of the family--they set the tone, particularly when children are young. Children, especially young children learn by example. To paraphrase Ralph Waldo Emerson, who we are and what we do speaks louder to our kids than anything we say. Increasing Transformative Resilience in children requires showing them that the adults in their lives are consistently able to pick themselves up in the face of setbacks. That's an attitude and behavior they're going to adopt.\n\n2. Help kids manage their emotions.\n\nLearning to respond empathically to our children's emotions is critical in helping raise Type R kids. When children are upset they need a place to vent their feelings. Feelings which are denied come out later as temper tantrums, hitting or bad dreams. Conversely, when children express emotions, adult empathy helps them not only to feel understood, but to feel as if they have an ally who respects them. For it to work, though, you need be fully present and give your undivided attention.\n\n3. Let them\u00a0make mistakes.\n\nExperimentation and learning are essential as kids build their skills. Making mistakes is an integral part of the process.\u00a0 If your child fails at something it doesn't mean that they are a failure, it gives them information about what not to do in the future.\n\n4. Help them develop their \"struggle muscle\" by taking responsibility for their choices.\n\nTeaching children to confront challenges and find solutions sets important precedents and cultivates skills that they will call upon throughout their lives. To do it, help them understand connections between choices they make and the outcomes. Then, help them be accountable. While they may struggle with the consequences of not studying for a test in time, teach them they have the ability to take responsibility and make different choices in the future. When they feel they have the physical and psychological resources to face challenges, they are more likely to participate, assume responsibilities and contribute rather than being avoidant. A rule of thumb is:\u00a0 Don't do for your kids what they can do for themselves.\u00a0\n\n5. Foster compassion and social justice.\n\nDemonstrate to children how they can stand up for themselves as well as others, how to express empathy and understanding, how to take caring actions, and how to integrate service into their everyday lives. This is now more important than ever in a world of income inequality, increasing prejudice, and a coarsening of cultural values. As Gandhi said, \"You must be the change you wish to see in the world.\" If the significant adults in children's lives follow this notion, and act with kindness, thoughtfulness, and caring, kids will be more likely to follow the example.\n\nPublished on: Jan 12, 2018<|endoftext|>Wednesday, August 20, 2008\n\nWork = Tired\n\nI am definitely not used to working yet.\n\nI get up at 6am (okay, today I got up at 7am and let my hair hang curly so I could sleep the extra hour), drive to work (it is so glorious driving the opposite way of traffic), work (I am still orienting and school doesn't start for kids until Monday so it's pretty uneventful), drive home from work, take Kona out, decompress (i.e. sit on the couch), make dinner/get take out, think about how tired I am while watching", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 167002, "pt_loc": 108337308, "pt_shuffle_idx": 9948265, "doc_index_f": 15592226, "doc_index_l": 15592228, "offset_f": 613, "offset_l": 131, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 29, "pt_injection_len": 41, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [1110, 807, 132]} +{"pt_doc": "From 1940 to 1954 he wrote regularly for the New York Herald Tribune and four volumes of his notices have appeared in book form.<|endoftext|> shook his head. \"No. No, it's not.\"\n\"Yes it is.

It is now after having given up membership of military pacts that Pakistan could be admitted as a member at the Havana Conference held in 1979. Rather, the alliances of which Pakistan was a member have disintegrated. This has proved the truth of the contention that non- alignment is gaining ground against military alliances.\n(ii) Attainment of National Interest\nIn spite of the fact that non-alignment aims at ushering in a just and peaceful international order, it is not blind to the fact that the existence of a nation depends upon seeking its own national interest. It is in this context that Nehru stressed that your relations with a particular country can be more cordial and friendly.\n(iii) Amalgamation of National Interest with Internationalism:\nPromotion of national interest keeping in view the achievement of peace in the world means that non-alignment is a synthesis of nationalism and internationalism. The ideals of the leaders of the high priests of non- alignment were shaped by the traditions of their ancient civilisation as also the Western liberal education in which they were brought up. The Indian leaders were in particular influenced by the moralist traditions of Buddha, Ashoka and Mahatma Gandhi. It is the Gandhian concept of non-violence at the national level that was extended by Nehru to the international plane through the police of peaceful co-existence and non- involvement with military rivalry of big powers. Just as non-violence was based on courage and conviction and the best and most peaceful way of achieving independence so was non-alignment born out of conviction and sheer necessity of survival of the newly independent countries.\n(iv) \u00a0A Serious Concern for World Peace\nNon-alignment is concerned with the maintenance of peace in the world. This is but natural in a world where nuclear holocaust can destroy the whole of the world within no time. Moreover, the non-aligned countries are against the use of force in settling international disputes. They are of the view that war instead of solving problems, tends to aggravate them. Their concern for peace so much over-shadows other things that at times they do not bother for their own national interest. Peace is considered necessary for the eradication of poverty and squalor from the world.\n(v) Looking for Economic Support\nAll the new nations that joined non-aligned movement were under-developed. Their primary job was to develop their countries at the earliest possible. Development could be possible only through economic and technological assistance from the industrialised and developed countries. This assistance was sought from countries of both the blocs. But this assistance was given with certain conditions and had therefore, politico-economic implications. Moreover, the moral and psychological effect of this end was also not in the interest of recipient country. This made certain countries like India to receive aid in sectors which are critical for creating national know-how and infrastructure for future development in a way that the need for future assistance would end. In addition, efforts have been made by the non-aligned countries to evolve self-reliance. It is sought to be achieved through pooling of resources and reducing dependence on the developed countries. India is taking a leading position in creating self-reliance and self-confidence among the non-aligned countries. In spite of the fact that India is a poor country, its food position is satisfactory, and its foreign exchange reserves are enough and it is without exaggeration one of the most advanced countries in the field of science, technology and industry. She is rather helping countries of South, South East and West Asia in many ways.\n(vi) Sovereignty of Judgment on International issues\nThe root characteristic feature of the non-aligned is the independence of judgment which the non-aligned countries enjoy on international issues. They judge every issue on its own merit without any dictation from any other country. This has been asserted by many leaders of the non-aligned countries. Nehru declared that non-alignment is \"a policy of acting according to our best judgment.\u201d\n(vii) Democratic Approach to International Relations\nNon- aligned countries believe in a democratic approach to international relations by all the countries of the world. Vice-President Nixon and Secretary of State Dulles used almost abusive language for the concept of non-alignment in 1956. Nehru urged upon them neither to suppress discussion nor give up tolerate in discussing external relations of the new nations. Nehru said, \"I submit for consideration that Mr. Nixon and Mr. Dulles are saying something that is opposed to the democratic way of life. The very basis of democracy is tolerance for differing points of view.\"\n(viii) Resistance to Colonialism and Racialism:\nNon-aligned countries are opposed to racialism and colonialism in any form. It was to condemn Dutch action on Indonesia and plead for the freedom of Indonesia that Nehru called a conference in New Delhi in 1954. It was at the Bandung Conference held in 1955 where the representatives from Asia and Africa condemned racialism and colonialism. Sukarno and Nehru were in particular concerned about the possibility that anti-colonial struggle would become institutionalised. Concern for the freedom of Zimbabve (Rhodesia) was expressed deeply by the non-aligned countries particularly India. Non-alignment is also opposed to racialism as practiced in South Africa.\n(ix) Opposition to Power Politics:\nMorgenthau and Schwarzen berger regard international relations as a struggle for power. \u00a0Power implies a particular man's control over the minds and actions of other men. Non- alignment rejects at least in theory, this game of power politics. Instead, it believes in influence politics. Influence politics differs from power politics in the sense that influence believes in persuasion while power lies in compelling other by the use of force to do what he would not have done otherwise.\n(x) Establishment of New International Economic Order:\nIn spite of the fact that the new nations have obtained freedom, they are still dominated by the highly developed countries in the economic sphere. They are tied in the economic system that believes in exploitation of the poor and underdeveloped countries. In spite of the fact that these new nations have made developmental plans, they have not been able to make a little progress. The produce of the poor, underdeveloped, countries is bought by the affluent nations at a very low rate, while the finished goods prepared from that very stuff imported from the underdeveloped countries is exported to them at very high prices. This leads to deficit in balance of payments. The aid given by the developed countries to the underdeveloped nations is eaten back by the former to meet balance of payments gap. The non-aligned countries plead for the replacement of this old system by a New International Economic System.\nConcern for the new economic system was expressed for the first time at the Conference held at Algiers in 1970. Consequently, many of the new nations providing raw-materials decided to come together and act in unison to increase the prices of their commodities. It was this strategy at Algiers that gave birth to the demand for a New International Economic Order. This strategy which was later used with great effect by the OPEC (Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) provided a major threat for world capitalist powers.\nThe radical departure in the realm of economics gave the non-aligned movement a new structural meaning in world politics. They became in effect powerful bargaining groups within the context of international economic relations. The bargaining power gave a new meaning to their political demands, especially racialism and national liberation.\nChanging Concept of Non-alignment\nThe criterion of membership of non-aligned movement was laid down at the first Belgrade Conference held in 1961. It is:\n \u2022 The country should have followed an independent policy.\n \u2022 The country concerned should have supported the movement for national independence.\n \u2022 The country concerned should not be a member of the inter-national military alliances concluded in the context of Super-power conflicts.\n \u2022 If the country concerned is a member of the regional defence pact, this pact should not be deliberately concluded in the context of superpower conflicts.\n \u2022 If the country concerned has allowed military bases a foreign power, these bases should not have been allowed in the context of superpower conflicts.\nA Brief Review of India\u2019s Post-Cold war foreign Policy\nIndia\u2019s foreign policy redirection in the 1990s went through a phase of partial change following the 1991 general election that led to the formation of another general election minority government (22 June 1991-16 May 1996) Under P.V. Narasimha Rao of the Congress Party. As he took office, the Soviet Union was self-destructing and Indian Policy makers were unsure how they should react to this. Nevertheless under the Rao Government there were some noticeable changes in India\u2019s outward orientation. First, India established diplomatic relations with Israel. Second, a thaw in Sino-Indian relations was inaugurated. Finally, a \u2018Look East\u2019 policy was initiated with a great deal of fanfare following the major about turn in India\u2019s domestic economic policy. This was the most remarkable achievement of this government as it boldly inaugurated an era of economic reforms.\nThe BJP-led coalition government of Atal Bihari Vajpayee that followed Rao\u2019s administration lasted just over 2 weeks (16 may 1996-1 June 1996) before giving way to another fragile coalition (1 June 1996-21 Apr 1997) under the Leadership of", "base_doc": " and CENTO that India opposed that entry of Pakistan into non-aligned movement at the time of the Colombo Conference held in 1976.

Gujral, previously Minister for External Affairs under Gowda, came to power at the head of coalition (21 April 1997-19 March 1998), he kept up the momentum in some of the areas of interest identified by the Rao Government but let some others l", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 171910, "pt_loc": 26071766, "pt_shuffle_idx": 20346927, "doc_index_f": 31905640, "doc_index_l": 31905640, "offset_f": 3602, "offset_l": 5650, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 67, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": " database name is \u201cdb\u201d by default.\n\nYou can use the credentials displayed or access them via environmental variables such by: process.env.DB_USER\n\nSetting Custom Environment Variables\n\nDatabase environment variables should automatically exist but I have seen them drop off.

Why should I give them a preheating task to complete when they\u2019re busy enough already?\nA: By insourcing weld preheating with ArcReach Heaters, you\u2019ll actually help your welders be more productive. They won\u2019t have to wait for a heating contractor\u2019s work to be complete \u2014 your welders can quickly and easily heat their own joints, completing welds faster and helping you meet project deadlines. It takes less than 20 minutes to set up an ArcReach Heater on a weld joint \u2014 and in many cases, only another 20 minutes to bring that joint to temperature (times will vary depending on the type of material being heated, its overall mass, the type of insulation being used, ambient temperature, etc.). Compare that to the three hours it can take to set up resistance preheating equipment, then another three hours to bring the joint to temperature with either resistance or flame methods. Additionally, flame preheating is inconsistent, which can negatively impact weld quality.\n\nQ: I have a shortage of welders. I already have a ProHeat\u2122 35 heating system. Why can\u2019t I use that unit in the field?\nA: You can. Relative to an ArcReach Heater, a ProHeat 35 system has a large footprint and is more difficult to position at a jobsite. Additionally, the ProHeat 35 system requires the 460V, three-phase electrical power typically found in a shop environment, but not always easily available at a jobsite. ArcReach Heaters, however, operate on the open-circuit voltage delivered by onsite welding power sources.\n\nSystem & Heating Tool Capabilities\n\nQ: Can I use an ArcReach\u00ae Heater for post-weld heat treatment?\nA: No. ArcReach Heaters are designed for preheating and bake out up to 600\u00b0F (315\u00b0C) in field applications only. For post-weld heat treatment, the ProHeat 35 system is recommended. For help selecting the induction heating system that\u2019s right for you, call us at 844-463-4328 or email\n\nQ: What kinds of metal can I preheat with an ArcReach\u00ae Heater?\nA: Any metal containing enough iron or steel to make it magnetic can be preheated with an ArcReach Heater. Because heat is induced in the metal by placing it in a high-frequency magnetic field, non-magnetic metals such as aluminum cannot be preheated using an ArcReach Heater.\n\nQ: What\u2019s the thickest metal that ArcReach\u00ae Heaters can be used on?\nA: It depends on the type of material being heated, its overall mass, the amount of insulation being used, ambient temperature, etc. Thicker materials will require a longer time to achieve the target temperature.\n\nQ: Do ArcReach\u00ae Heaters provide consistent heat?\nA: Yes. ArcReach Heaters use induction, which induces heat from within the part and is one of the most consistent and penetrating heating methods available. In comparison, flame heating displaces heat into a much wider and uncontrollable zone, while resistance heating can result in hot and cold spots if ceramic pads break or wear out.\n\nQ: On what size of pipe can I use the air-cooled quick wrap?\nA: The air-cooled quick wrap can be used on pipes up to 10 inches in diameter and down to 1\u00bd inches in diameter using standard Miller \u00bd-inch pre-heat insulation.\n\nQ: How many temperature-reading thermocouples can you attach? Do you need to use them all?\nA: You can attach up to six temperature-reading thermocouples, but you don\u2019t need to use them all. Any of them can be selected as a control thermocouple, but at least one must be identified as a control. Specific thermocouple requirements for a given welding procedure should be outlined in your welding procedure specifications (WPS).\n\nOperating Requirements\n\nQ: What primary power do I need to run an ArcReach\u00ae Heater?\nA: The ArcReach Heater is powered by compatible welding power sources \u2014 it doesn\u2019t run on primary power. The power to operate the ArcReach Heater comes from converting the DC power from the welding power source or engine-driven welder/generator into AC current.\n\n\nQ: What type of weld cables do I need to connect a power source to an ArcReach\u00ae Heater?\nA: Standard 2/0 weld cables are used to connect a compatible power source to an ArcReach Heater.\n\nQ: What\u2019s the maximum distance I can locate an ArcReach\u00ae Heater away from a power source?\nA: The maximum distance is 200 feet one way or 400 feet in a loop.\n\nQ: Why can an ArcReach\u00ae Heater be 200 feet from the power source, but an ArcReach\u00ae Smart Feeder is limited to 150 feet?\nA: ArcReach Smart Feeder power requirements fluctuate rapidly during the weld process; 150 feet is the maximum weld cable length that can support the Smart Feeder\u2019s power requirements. An ArcReach Heater draws more consistent power, with any power fluctuations being gradual increases or decreases during the heating process. The lower fluctuation is less susceptible to the inductance and voltage losses of the cables, allowing the heater to be farther away from the power source.\n\nQ: My existing fleet of Miller\u00ae power sources doesn\u2019t have ArcReach\u00ae technology \u2014 or I\u2019m using non-Miller welding equipment. Can use them to power ArcReach\u00ae Heaters?\nA: No, only select models of ArcReach welding power sources are compatible with ArcReach Heaters. See below for a list of compatible Miller welding power sources. For more information, see the ArcReach Heater Spec Sheet or Owner\u2019s Manual.\n\nQ: Which Miller welding power sources are compatible with ArcReach\u00ae Heaters?\nA: If your Miller power source can run a Smart Feeder, it\u2019s compatible.

Norwood, who was found tied up in a bathroom, initially told detectives that two men wearing gloves and masks forced their way into the store and assaulted them. Norwood was arrested on Friday and charged with first degree murder after police found evidence that allegedly conflicted with Norwood\u2019s story.\n\nNorwood was a standout soccer player at Decatur High School, near Seattle, and at Stony Brook University in New York. The Washington Post reports that Montgomery County authorities are investigating whether Murray may have been killed after Norwood was accused of stealing merchandise.\n\nUpdated on 3/22/11 \u2014 ABC7 is reporting that Norwood may have been suspected of stealing from another Lululemon store before being transferred to the Bethesda store.\n\n \u2022 Jezebel\n\n The heartache continues and deepens.\n\n \u2022 Ben\n\n\n \u2022 OX4\n\n Seriously disturbing.\n\n \u2022 Steve\n\n Arlnow should stay open for business on weekends, this story is basically really old now, though this result was not shocking, it was rather obvious because the police never released the \u201csurvivor\u2019s\u201d story, which means they never bought it from the beginning, along with the accounts of hearing women arguing by apple store employees.. The police knew it was an inside job from the beginning.\n\n \u2022 Scott will sometimes post on the weekend.\n\n \u2022 Right. I\u2019ll post breaking news stories on weekends. Otherwise everything else waits until Monday morning. If you know any good writers/reporters willing to work for free on weekends, let them know we\u2019re accepting applications for a weekend editor position.\n\n \u2022 anotherlocal\n\n Great response. Sounded to me like Steve was volunteering \ud83d\ude09\n\n \u2022 This chick is clearly mental.\n\n \u2022 Steve\n\n Not the right kind of mental to not be held responsible for what she dead. She showed a lot of deliberation, waiting even for hours to make it look like she had been tied up.\n\n Can\u2019t wait for the trial though, I cannot wait for the cops to admit they knew immediately they highly doubted the story, but still had to presume it was true because she said rape. The police will not presume a crime happened if they have strong evidence to the contrary, except for rape. And tha tscared the heck out of the entire community.\n\n \u2022 local\n\n They may have known or suspected her story was a lie, but didn\u2019t say otherwise because they had to gather evidence, and keep the suspect talking.\n\n \u2022 Steve\n\n The thing is is if they think the story is bull, like obviously made up, they don\u2019t tell the community that \u201ca madman is on the lose\u201d if she had alleged that an axe murderer had did it. For the mere fact she alleged rape, no matter what the police suspected, they HAD to operate as if it was true, which doesn\u2019t happen with any other crime. So they scared the heck out of the entire community, thinking that there were rapists on the lose, spike in buying of pepper spray etc, all while the cops were pretty sure there had been no rape at all.\n\n \u2022 local\n\n I don\u2019t think the police held information from the public any longer than they needed to. They told us what they knew first, and then they told us the real story as soon as they had enough evidence to arrest the suspect. What, you want them to announce publicly that they are trying to get a suspect to admit she\u2019s lying while she\u2019s still being interrogated? We survived a few days of fear.\n\n \u2022 Steve\n\n No, they just shouldn\u2019t have released the \u201ctwo rapists on the lose\u201d thing when they highly doubted they even existed. The police were immediately suspicious of her story, hence why they never released details of her story. You\u2019d think if the police were actually looking for two suspects, any information she might have had would have been very valuable. Virtually nothing was released other than ski mask, and 6 feet tall and 5\u20193. In short, the cops knew it wasn\u2019t true, and had it been any other crime, that they knew wasn\u2019t true, they wouldn\u2019t have released that info, but because it was rape, they HAD to.\n\n \u2022 local\n\n The bottom line is that you just don\u2019t know exactly when the police suspected or knew anything, so you aren\u2019t in a position to second-guess them.\n\n As for releasing nothing more than height, weight, and ski mask\u2013that\u2019s all they had!\n\n \u2022 Take it down a notch\n\n So you are advocating that police assume rape claims are lies??\n\n \u2022 Steve\n\n No, that\u2019s not what I\u2019m suggesting. I\u2019m just saying that when they know a rape didn\u2019t happen, or they are highly sure it didn\u2019t happen, that they don\u2019t operate on the presumption that it happened. Otherwise, everything as normal.\n\n I mean, imagine the situation, you have a female burglar, breaks into the house, and then gets caught by the owner, who calls the cops. All she had to do is allege he raped her, and the police have to presume its true. If hte cops come there, see no evidence of any rape, they would still have to arrest him, even though he stopped her burglarizing his house, simply because she said rape.\n\n That\u2019s why this woman in this situation was not immediately arrested, and why they released the information about the suspects, becaues they had to because she alleged rape, and the cops knew it wasn\u2019t true. Had she not alleged it, they wouldn\u2019t have even said anything about two suspects.\n\n This is only in the case where the police don\u2019t think a rape happened. not if there is no evidence one way or the other.\n\n \u2022 SB\n\n Well what else would the police say? Don\u2019t you think people would demand some answers when it was announced there was a murder? If we\u2019re going along the line of they didn\u2019t want to let the suspect know they were on to her, they still had to say something. And if they didn\u2019t release her description of the \u201csuspects\u201d then she would realize they were on to her too.\n\n Bottom line is the people demand answers. Even if they hadn\u2019t said rape, people would have been freaking out over the murder.\n\n \u2022 local\n\n I don\u2019t think Steve\u2019s saying that either, nor would I. The police shouldn\u2019t assume anything \u2013 they should follow evidence. (Alleged) victims saying they were raped is evidence, but not always the only evidence. Ultimately, it\u2019s up to a jury to decide whether a rape claim is true or not if it gets that far.\n\n \u2022 Steve\n\n The police will reveal during the trial that at no point did they believe her story. They will basically have to say they were certain no rape took place, but still operated as if it did.\n\n If they didn\u2019t believe her if she had claimed they had a machine gun, the police aren\u2019t going to go looking for a machine gun that doesn\u2019t exist. They aren\u2019t going to scare the community by saying a guy with a machine gun is out there when they know it\u2019s not true.\n\n \u2022 local\n\n\n You have no friggin\u2019 idea what the police will reveal during the trial. You\u2019re reaching wildly. You don\u2019t know what they knew or suspected, or when.\n\n \u2022 Steve\n\n So little details yet they had a surviving witness there? That\u2019s why they didn\u2019t release her story, any details other than the absolutely minimum, becaues the police never believed it in the first place.\n\n i thought what little they told was incredibly fishy. I didn\u2019t think she did it, but I thought she was an insider on it.\n\n The fact the police revealed so little was proof they didn\u2019t believe her story from the beginning, otherwise they would have wanted the most info as possible to be revealed so that people could use it to help find the suspects.\n\n \u2022 local\n\n\n I repeat \u2013 you don\u2019t know what the police knew or suspected. You can\u2019t read their minds.\n\n What other details could they have released? They didn\u2019t have any, because this alleged victim probably didn\u2019t give many because she was making it all up.\n\n Bottom line is \u2013 you\u2019re just assuming wildly.\n\n \u2022 Sean\n\n @Steve: I think you would have found the interview on WJFK this morning very interesting. I only caught half of it, but the Junkies were interviewing the chief of police for Montgomery County.

Norwood, who was found tied up in a bathroom, initially told detectives that two men wearing gloves and masks forced their way into the store and assaulted them. Norwood was arrested on Friday and charged with first degree murder after police found evidence that allegedly conflicted with Norwood\u2019s story.\n\nNorwood was a standout soccer player at Decatur High School, near Seattle, and at Stony Brook University in New York. The Washington Post reports that Montgomery County authorities are investigating whether Murray may have been killed after Norwood was accused of stealing merchandise.\n\nUpdated on 3/22/11 \u2014 ABC7 is reporting that Norwood may have been suspected of stealing from another Lululemon store before being transferred to the Bethesda store.\n\n \u2022 Jezebel\n\n The heartache continues and deepens.\n\n \u2022 Ben\n\n\n \u2022 OX4\n\n Seriously disturbing.\n\n \u2022 Steve\n\n Arlnow should stay open for business on weekends, this story is basically really old now, though this result was not shocking, it was rather obvious because the police never released the \u201csurvivor\u2019s\u201d story, which means they never bought it from the beginning, along with the accounts of hearing women arguing by apple store employees.. The police knew it was an inside job from the beginning.\n\n \u2022 Scott will sometimes post on the weekend.\n\n \u2022 Right. I\u2019ll post breaking news stories on weekends. Otherwise everything else waits until Monday morning. If you know any good writers/reporters willing to work for free on weekends, let them know we\u2019re accepting applications for a weekend editor position.\n\n \u2022 anotherlocal\n\n Great response. Sounded to me like Steve was volunteering \ud83d\ude09\n\n \u2022 This chick is clearly mental.\n\n \u2022 Steve\n\n Not the right kind of mental to not be held responsible for what she dead. She showed a lot of deliberation, waiting even for hours to make it look like she had been tied up.\n\n Can\u2019t wait for the trial though, I cannot wait for the cops to admit they knew immediately they highly doubted the story, but still had to presume it was true because she said rape. The police will not presume a crime happened if they have strong evidence to the contrary, except for rape. And tha tscared the heck out of the entire community.\n\n \u2022 local\n\n They may have known or suspected her story was a lie, but didn\u2019t say otherwise because they had to gather evidence, and keep the suspect talking.\n\n \u2022 Steve\n\n The thing is is if they think the story is bull, like obviously made up, they don\u2019t tell the community that \u201ca madman is on the lose\u201d if she had alleged that an axe murderer had did it. For the mere fact she alleged rape, no matter what the police suspected, they HAD to operate as if it was true, which doesn\u2019t happen with any other crime. So they scared the heck out of the entire community, thinking that there were rapists on the lose, spike in buying of pepper spray etc, all while the cops were pretty sure there had been no rape at all.\n\n \u2022 local\n\n I don\u2019t think the police held information from the public any longer than they needed to. They told us what they knew first, and then they told us the real story as soon as they had enough evidence to arrest the suspect. What, you want them to announce publicly that they are trying to get a suspect to admit she\u2019s lying while she\u2019s still being interrogated? We survived a few days of fear.\n\n \u2022 Steve\n\n No, they just shouldn\u2019t have released the \u201ctwo rapists on the lose\u201d thing when they highly doubted they even existed. The police were immediately suspicious of her story, hence why they never released details of her story. You\u2019d think if the police were actually looking for two suspects, any information she might have had would have been very valuable. Virtually nothing was released other than ski mask, and 6 feet tall and 5\u20193. In short, the cops knew it wasn\u2019t true, and had it been any other crime, that they knew wasn\u2019t true, they wouldn\u2019t have released that info, but because it was rape, they HAD to.\n\n \u2022 local\n\n The bottom line is that you just don\u2019t know exactly when the police suspected or knew anything, so you aren\u2019t in a position to second-guess them.\n\n As for releasing nothing more than height, weight, and ski mask\u2013that\u2019s all they had!\n\n \u2022 Take it down a notch\n\n So you are advocating that police assume rape claims are lies??\n\n \u2022 Steve\n\n No, that\u2019s not what I\u2019m suggesting. I\u2019m just saying that when they know a rape didn\u2019t happen, or they are highly sure it didn\u2019t happen, that they don\u2019t operate on the presumption that it happened. Otherwise, everything as normal.\n\n I mean, imagine the situation, you have a female burglar, breaks into the house, and then gets caught by the owner, who calls the cops. All she had to do is allege he raped her, and the police have to presume its true. If hte cops come there, see no evidence of any rape, they would still have to arrest him, even though he stopped her burglarizing his house, simply because she said rape.\n\n That\u2019s why this woman in this situation was not immediately arrested, and why they released the information about the suspects, becaues they had to because she alleged rape, and the cops knew it wasn\u2019t true. Had she not alleged it, they wouldn\u2019t have even said anything about two suspects.\n\n This is only in the case where the police don\u2019t think a rape happened. not if there is no evidence one way or the other.\n\n \u2022 SB\n\n Well what else would the police say? Don\u2019t you think people would demand some answers when it was announced there was a murder? If we\u2019re going along the line of they didn\u2019t want to let the suspect know they were on to her, they still had to say something. And if they didn\u2019t release her description of the \u201csuspects\u201d then she would realize they were on to her too.\n\n Bottom line is the people demand answers. Even if they hadn\u2019t said rape, people would have been freaking out over the murder.\n\n \u2022 local\n\n I don\u2019t think Steve\u2019s saying that either, nor would I. The police shouldn\u2019t assume anything \u2013 they should follow evidence. (Alleged) victims saying they were raped is evidence, but not always the only evidence. Ultimately, it\u2019s up to a jury to decide whether a rape claim is true or not if it gets that far.\n\n \u2022 Steve\n\n The police will reveal during the trial that at no point did they believe her story. They will basically have to say they were certain no rape took place, but still operated as if it did.\n\n If they didn\u2019t believe her if she had claimed they had a machine gun, the police aren\u2019t going to go looking for a machine gun that doesn\u2019t exist. They aren\u2019t going to scare the community by saying a guy with a machine gun is out there when they know it\u2019s not true.\n\n \u2022 local\n\n\n You have no friggin\u2019 idea what the police will reveal during the trial. You\u2019re reaching wildly. You don\u2019t know what they knew or suspected, or when.\n\n \u2022 Steve\n\n So little details yet they had a surviving witness there? That\u2019s why they didn\u2019t release her story, any details other than the absolutely minimum, becaues the police never believed it in the first place.\n\n i thought what little they told was incredibly fishy. I didn\u2019t think she did it, but I thought she was an insider on it.\n\n The fact the police revealed so little was proof they didn\u2019t believe her story from the beginning, otherwise they would have wanted the most info as possible to be revealed so that people could use it to help find the suspects.\n\n \u2022 local\n\n\n I repeat \u2013 you don\u2019t know what the police knew or suspected. You can\u2019t read their minds.\n\n What other details could they have released? They didn\u2019t have any, because this alleged victim probably didn\u2019t give many because she was making it all up.\n\n Bottom line is \u2013 you\u2019re just assuming wildly.\n\n \u2022 Sean\n\n @Steve: I think you would have found the interview on WJFK this morning very interesting.

In moral degeneracy, corruption, warmongering, daily violence, pervasive rudeness, arrogance, jingoistic ignorance, intolerance, and plain old nastiness, America becomes more and more like Israel every year that passes. You have any suggestions why? I do. It's because those people rule every facet of life in this country - the media, the TV, the movies, the newspapers, the commerce, everything, and they set the tone for all of it.\n\nHaving traveled to some 40 countries, I can say that those which are most Christian in their ethnicity (and also Arab - a delightfully hospitable and soft-spoken race) are also the most pleasant, polite, and friendly.\n\nWherever you find a higher proportion of those other people, you find the social sicknesses that are afflicting and destroying America. Mr. Peter King is just a symptom of a deep moral turpitude that is stifling all decency in this nation. If you want to see the future of America - if you REALLY want to see it - go take a 2-week trip to Israel. You will come back transformed:\n\n\n\n\n\nSeen enough?\n- Lemuel Gulliver.\n\nIf not, let Menachem Begin explain it for you:\n\n\n\u2014 Menachem Begin - Israeli Prime Minister 1977\u20131983\n\nNow you know where the Power Elite in America get their ideas, and their ideals.\n\n- Lemuel Gulliver\n\nCody said...\n\n\nJust imagine if a group of Muslims held a rally outside of a Christian charity event and one of the speakers said, \"I know quite a few jihadists who would be happy to send these infidels to an early grave.\" I guarantee you that Hannity, Beck, and the rest of their ilk would play that video every day for the next 6 months.\n\nThe truly sad thing is that she receive a wild round of applause when she said that.\n\nYou're right, Will, things could get really ugly. If I were a Muslim living in the United States, I would start looking for a way to get the hell out before the red state fascists start trying to put them in concentration camps.\n\nBob said...\n\nDoes anyone believe that modern-day Israel is an illegitimate country?\n\nWilliam N. Grigg said...\n\nBob, given the ugliness of Manifest Destiny (a subject I've only recently studied in any depth), I'm not certain I can describe the USA as a \"legitimate\" country. I certainly agree that the Israeli government -- like the one afflicting us -- is a spectacularly nasty piece of work.\n\nI've often wondered how so many Evangelicals who properly revile the UN can see the current Israeli state -- a socialist gangster regime that was created by and through the UN -- as the divine blessing dreamed of and prayed for by ancient martyrs and saints.\n\nThere is a certain purity in the malice displayed by the criminal clique running that regime: They quite literally will screw anybody -- fellow Israelis very much included -- in order to hold on to power.\n\nAnd the moral equation of contemporary Zionism strikes me as really perverse. The original idea was that Jews, who have suffered persecution for ages, need a state to be secure. Yet today, the only place where Jews face serious potential threats is Israel. So the logic of Zionism (at least its current version) dictates that individual Jews should be put in danger in order to protect the existence of the state supposedly established to protect them.\n\nIf you're the kind of person to whom this makes sense, you're likewise the kind of person who could accuse me of anti-Semitism for insisting that the life of an individual Jew -- or Arab, or Persian -- is infinitely more important than the preservation of the Israeli State, or any other.\n\nLemuel Gulliver said...\n\nMr. Grigg,\n\nYou know how fond I am of giving your readers links", "base_doc": "...\n\nI watched that Orange County video again.

I guess they won't be happy until we have become one huge Gaza Strip, complete with internal check points, an end of any human rights we still have and total tyranny over those they oppress. Oh wait, we already have all that, mission nearly accomplished.\n\nWilliam N. Grigg said...\n\n\nYour wife sounds like a very wise and perceptive person!\n\nJerri Lynn, owing perhaps to the fact that I didn't get around to writing this essay until very late on an extremely stressful day, I neglected to point out that Mr. Nag was convicted of \"assault,\" but I've not been able to find out what the sentence was. He is appealing the verdict and, as you note, has filed a lawsuit.\n\nLemuel Gulliver said...\n\n\nSo you noticed that too? In moral degeneracy, corruption, warmongering, daily violence, pervasive rudeness, arrogance, jingoistic ignorance, intolerance, and plain old nastiness, America becomes more and more like Israel every year that passes. You have any suggestions why? I do. It's because those people rule every facet of life in this country - the media, the TV, the movies, the newspapers, the commerce, everything, and they set the tone for all of it.\n\nHaving traveled to some 40 countries, I can say that those which are most Christian in their ethnicity (and also Arab - a delightfully hospitable and soft-spoken race) are also the most pleasant, polite, and friendly.\n\nWherever you find a higher proportion of those other people, you find the social sicknesses that are afflicting and destroying America. Mr. Peter King is just a symptom of a deep moral turpitude that is stifling all decency in this nation. If you want to see the future of America - if you REALLY want to see it - go take a 2-week trip to Israel. You will come back transformed:\n\n\n\n\n\nSeen enough?\n- Lemuel Gulliver.\n\nIf not, let Menachem Begin explain it for you:\n\n\n\u2014 Menachem Begin - Israeli Prime Minister 1977\u20131983\n\nNow you know where the Power Elite in America get their ideas, and their ideals.\n\n- Lemuel Gulliver\n\nCody said...\n\n\nJust imagine if a group of Muslims held a rally outside of a Christian charity event and one of the speakers said, \"I know quite a few jihadists who would be happy to send these infidels to an early grave.\" I guarantee you that Hannity, Beck, and the rest of their ilk would play that video every day for the next 6 months.\n\nThe truly sad thing is that she receive a wild round of applause when she said that.\n\nYou're right, Will, things could get really ugly. If I were a Muslim living in the United States, I would start looking for a way to get the hell out before the red state fascists start trying to put them in concentration camps.\n\nBob said...\n\nDoes anyone believe that modern-day Israel is an illegitimate country?\n\nWilliam N. Grigg said...\n\nBob, given the ugliness of Manifest Destiny (a subject I've only recently studied in any depth), I'm not certain I can describe the USA as a \"legitimate\" country. I certainly agree that the Israeli government -- like the one afflicting us -- is a spectacularly nasty piece of work.\n\nI've often wondered how so many Evangelicals who properly revile the UN can see the current Israeli state -- a socialist gangster regime that was created by and through the UN -- as the divine blessing dreamed of and prayed for by ancient martyrs and saints.\n\nThere is a certain purity in the malice displayed by the criminal clique running that regime: They quite literally will screw anybody -- fellow Israelis very much included -- in order to hold on to power.\n\nAnd the moral equation of contemporary Zionism strikes me as really perverse. The original idea was that Jews, who have suffered persecution for ages, need a state to be secure. Yet today, the only place where Jews face serious potential threats is Israel. So the logic of Zionism (at least its current version) dictates that individual Jews should be put in danger in order to protect the existence of the state supposedly established to protect them.\n\nIf you're the kind of person to whom this makes sense, you're likewise the kind of person who could accuse me of anti-Semitism for insisting that the life of an individual Jew -- or Arab, or Persian -- is infinitely more important than the preservation of the Israeli State, or any other.\n\nLemuel Gulliver said...\n\nMr. Grigg,\n\nYou know how fond I am of giving your readers links to follow.

truth?\u00a0 And are people so thin-skinned that being corrected will cause them to leave God?\u00a0 (Of course, if one doesn\u2019t want to receive correction from God, it is arguable that they were

GDP\n1955 . . . 4.3%\n2010 . . . 1.3%\nIndividual Income/Payrolls as a Percentage of Federal Revenue\n1955 . . . 58.0%\n2010 . . . 81.5%\nAnyone who is serious about closing the US deficit should consider the changes in what corporations pay in taxes and the rise of the deficit.\n\nMr. Ritholtz seems to have neglected debt as a form of raising revenue, which is why his corporate tax contribution rate is 9%, whereas the IRS places it at 4% (an approximate value). \u00a0Actually, once you factor in debt as a means of revenue, the \u201ctaxes as a percentage of federal revenue\u201d rates are cut in half for 2010 figures, which suggests that the biggest issue facing the federal budget is deficit spending, not low corporate tax rates.\u00a0 As it stands, I find Mr. Ritholtz\u2019s recommendation of raising corporate tax rates to be absurd for a couple of reasons.\n\nFirst, there is absolutely no reason to believe that an increase in one tax rate will lead to an increase in net revenue in a meaningful way.\u00a0 For the last sixty years, federal tax revenue has been capped at roughly 20% of GDP.\u00a0 This has been the case when tax rates were and when tax rates were low.\u00a0 Additionally, fluctuations in revenue are better explained by the business cycle than the actual rate.\u00a0 The reason why this is important is because it suggests that government spending should be no higher than 20% of GDP.\u00a0 Since spending is considerably higher than that, it seems reasonable to conclude that solving the fiscal problem is going to require spending cuts, not tax hikes.\n\nSecond, tax avoidance exists, and explains the soft cap on revenue.\u00a0 If corporate tax rates increase, money will be spent to avoid paying taxes and money will be diverted to avoid paying taxes.\u00a0 People don\u2019t like paying taxes, and that fact doesn\u2019t change with the rates.\u00a0 What changes is the profitability of tax avoidance.\u00a0 Those who avoid paying corporate taxes will have a greater incentive to do so in light of a rise in the rates.\u00a0 Those who don\u2019t have a reason to avoid paying taxes will have even more of a reason to do so once these rates increase.\n\nThird, only people pay taxes.\u00a0 Raising corporate taxes will not work the way Mr. Ritholtz thinks, because whatever money is confiscated from corporations is actually confiscated from either customers or shareholders.\u00a0 This in turn means that whatever is confiscated at this time cannot also be confiscated later (in case Mr. Ritholtz was asleep during Econ 101, this is known as an opportunity cost).\u00a0 Taxes are merely systemic price points, and should be treated as such.\u00a0 Having more price points doesn\u2019t necessarily mean an increase in revenue, for people will have less money after each price point (because taxes are mandatory).\u00a0\n\nThis sort of thinking, then, is too clever by half, for it is built on ignoring fundamental principles of economics.\nMr. Ritholtz has thus allowed populist sentimentality to influence policy recommendations, leading to advice that is not grounded in reality, and should thus be discarded.\u00a0 My personal recommendation for fixing the fiscal mess is simple:\u00a0 eliminate all unconstitutional spending and implement a single tax (either an income or sales tax) at a single rate, with no exemptions, credits, or deductions.\u00a0 I see no point in setting the rate higher than 20%, since history has shown that the federal government is incapable of raising revenue in excess of that.\n\nIn On the Joke\n\nI came across this story in the New York Times the other day.\u00a0 Essentially, the main point of the article is that collegiate business programs have been dumbed down considerably over the last few decades, resulting in graduates who don\u2019t really have a clue about business.\u00a0 Basically, business school is for slackers.\n\nAs someone who is majoring in business administration at a small private Midwestern college, I can say that, in my experience, this characterization of business students and business programs is absolutely true.\u00a0 I\u2019ve never once studied or read any of my textbooks for a business or management class, unless I needed to do homework.\u00a0 I\u2019ve never studied for a test in any business or management class either.\n\nThe reason I never put forth effort is a result of three factors.\u00a0 I take copious notes in class, I am very intelligent, and business and management classes are ridiculously easy.\u00a0 The lowest grade I ever received in a business or management class was a B, and the bulk of my grades in either type of class were A\u2019s.\u00a0 Econ classes were the easiest.\u00a0 If the professor didn\u2019t have an attendance requirement, I would have only showed up for class in order to turn in homework and to take tests.\n\nOverall, my impression of business-core classes is that they are incredibly easy, even at the 400-level.\u00a0 Most classes consist of reading jargon-filled manuals that exist to explain the jargon used by the manual writers.\u00a0 There are a couple tests that closely resemble the vocab tests you take in second grade.\u00a0 There may also be a paper due at some point in the class, and the occasional pop quiz.\u00a0 Homework is very light.\n\nIt may surprise some, but I do not find these classes to be enjoyable at all.\u00a0 I normally enjoy reading about businesses, business leaders, economics, markets, and finance, but college classes somehow manage to suck all the fun and joy out of these things, as if being dull equates to be profound and challenging.\n\nThe only classes I found to be enjoyable were math classes and classes not related to my major.\u00a0 I especially enjoyed my English and literature classes.\u00a0 I even enjoyed my ethics class (which was my philosophy elective).\u00a0 Of course, I found my PoliSci class to be enjoyable as well, especially since the professor introduced me to Vox Day\u2019s blog, which led me to discovering other blogs, and played an indirect role in my decision to blog.\n\nI suspect the reason why business classes are so unenjoyable is because they are pointless.\u00a0 They are filled with incomprehensible jargon that, when explained, boil down to well-established principles of business:\u00a0 Serve the customer, obey the law, pay your taxes, train your employees well, pay them well, and cut costs wherever possible as long as doing so doesn\u2019t lead to a decrease in quality.\u00a0 That\u2019s three years\u2019 worth of instruction right there.\n\nYes, day-to-day decisions are considerably more complicated than that, but they only way to learn how to handle the real world is to actually be a part of it, not observe it from afar long after the fact.\u00a0 I learned more about business when I worked fast food during high school than I did from going to college.\n\nWant to learn about how a business works?\u00a0 Get a job.\u00a0 I\u2019ve worked in fast food, in department stores, as a painter, as a roofer, in construction, in IT, and as a freelance writer.\u00a0 I\u2019ve learned more from doing those things than I have from all the business and management classes I took in high school and college. Of course, I don\u2019t know the jargon used utilized by managers self-managed work teams, so I suppose that my practical experience is for naught.\n", "base_doc": " one thing that really stuck with me. He described the activities of some churches as, \"The sharing of ignorance with the intent of developing consensus theology.\" Wow, did that hit hard.\nHow much of what churches do could be described in such terms? How often do Sunday school classes, small group meetings, and other church activities descend into efforts to come up with something we can all agree to, but which may not, in fact, be in keeping with God's will.\n\nOne of the reasons I tend to dislike church groups, Sunday school classes, and any other church group activity that is intended to be a collective Bible study is due to the tendency of said groups to spend more time trying to reach agreement with one another, regardless of whether the group consensus is correct.\u00a0 Is it really so hard to call someone wrong?\n\nI\u2019ve never thought so, although I do like to make sure that I understand what someone is trying to say before calling them on it.\u00a0 But my experience has taught me that very few are willing to take a stand if that means making someone feel uncomfortable.\n\nI am unable to understand why this is the case.\u00a0 Are other people\u2019s opinions of you so important that you can\u2019t stand for the truth?\u00a0 And are people so thin-skinned that being corrected will cause them to leave God?\u00a0 (Of course, if one doesn\u2019t want to receive correction from God, it is arguable that they were never truly with him, and thus could not leave him.)\n\nAt any rate, this trend of \u201cconsensus theology\u201d is something I find to be annoying and impractical, which is why I prefer to study by myself, far away from the inane nattering of study groups.\u00a0 When it comes to God, I prefer to know his will, not others\u2019 opinions of his will.\u00a0 I figure if he\u2019s the only who can save me, it behooves me to listen to him.\n\nCorporate Taxes Revisited\n\nCorporate Taxes as a Percentage of Federal Revenue\n1955 . . . 27.3%\n2010 . . . 8.9%\nCorporate Taxes as a Percentage of GDP\n1955 . . . 4.3%\n2010 . . . 1.3%\nIndividual Income/Payrolls as a Percentage of Federal Revenue\n1955 . . . 58.0%\n2010 . . . 81.5%\nAnyone who is serious about closing the US deficit should consider the changes in what corporations pay in taxes and the rise of the deficit.\n\nMr. Ritholtz seems to have neglected debt as a form of raising revenue, which is why his corporate tax contribution rate is 9%, whereas the IRS places it at 4% (an approximate value). \u00a0Actually, once you factor in debt as a means of revenue, the \u201ctaxes as a percentage of federal revenue\u201d rates are cut in half for 2010 figures, which suggests that the biggest issue facing the federal budget is deficit spending, not low corporate tax rates.\u00a0 As it stands, I find Mr. Ritholtz\u2019s recommendation of raising corporate tax rates to be absurd for a couple of reasons.\n\nFirst, there is absolutely no reason to believe that an increase in one tax rate will lead to an increase in net revenue in a meaningful way.\u00a0 For the last sixty years, federal tax revenue has been capped at roughly 20% of GDP.\u00a0 This has been the case when tax rates were and when tax rates were low.\u00a0 Additionally, fluctuations in revenue are better explained by the business cycle than the actual rate.\u00a0 The reason why this is important is because it suggests that government spending should be no higher than 20% of GDP.\u00a0 Since spending is considerably higher than that, it seems reasonable to conclude that solving the fiscal problem is going to require spending cuts, not tax hikes.\n\nSecond, tax avoidance exists, and explains the soft cap on revenue.\u00a0 If corporate tax rates increase, money will be spent to avoid paying taxes and money will be diverted to avoid paying taxes.\u00a0 People don\u2019t like paying taxes, and that fact doesn\u2019t change with the rates.\u00a0 What changes is the profitability of tax avoidance.\u00a0 Those who avoid paying corporate taxes will have a greater incentive to do so in light of a rise in the rates.\u00a0 Those who don\u2019t have a reason to avoid paying taxes will have even more of a reason to do so once these rates increase.\n\nThird, only people pay taxes.\u00a0 Raising corporate taxes will not work the way Mr. Ritholtz thinks, because whatever money is confiscated from corporations is actually confiscated from either customers or shareholders.\u00a0 This in turn means that whatever is confiscated at this time cannot also be confiscated later (in case Mr. Ritholtz was asleep during Econ 101, this is known as an opportunity cost).\u00a0 Taxes are merely systemic price points, and should be treated as such.\u00a0 Having more price points doesn\u2019t necessarily mean an increase in revenue, for people will have less money after each price point (because taxes are mandatory).\u00a0\n\nThis sort of thinking, then, is too clever by half, for it is built on ignoring fundamental principles of economics.\nMr. Ritholtz has thus allowed populist sentimentality to influence policy recommendations, leading to advice that is not grounded in reality, and should thus be discarded.\u00a0 My personal recommendation for fixing the fiscal mess is simple:\u00a0 eliminate all unconstitutional spending and implement a single tax (either an income or sales tax) at a single rate, with no exemptions, credits, or deductions.\u00a0 I see no point in setting the rate higher than 20%, since history has shown that the federal government is incapable of raising revenue in excess of that.\n\nIn On the Joke\n\nI came across this story in the New York Times the other day.\u00a0 Essentially, the main point of the article is that collegiate business programs have been dumbed down considerably over the last few decades, resulting in graduates who don\u2019t really have a clue about business.\u00a0 Basically, business school is for slackers.\n\nAs someone who is majoring in business administration at a small private Midwestern college, I can say that, in my experience, this characterization of business students and business programs is absolutely true.\u00a0 I\u2019ve never once studied or read any of my textbooks for a business or management class, unless I needed to do homework.\u00a0 I\u2019ve never studied for a test in any business or management class either.\n\nThe reason I never put forth effort is a result of three factors.\u00a0 I take copious notes in class, I am very intelligent, and business and management classes are ridiculously easy.\u00a0 The lowest grade I ever received in a business or management class was a B, and the bulk of my grades in either type of class were A\u2019s.\u00a0 Econ classes were the easiest.\u00a0 If the professor didn\u2019t have an attendance requirement, I would have only showed up for class in order to turn in homework and to take tests.\n\nOverall, my impression of business-core classes is that they are incredibly easy, even at the 400-level.\u00a0 Most classes consist of reading jargon-filled manuals that exist to explain the jargon used by the manual writers.\u00a0 There are a couple tests that closely resemble the vocab tests you take in second grade.\u00a0 There may also be a paper due at some point in the class, and the occasional pop quiz.\u00a0 Homework is very light.\n\nIt may surprise some, but I do not find these classes to be enjoyable at all.\u00a0 I normally enjoy reading about businesses, business leaders, economics, markets, and finance, but college classes somehow manage to suck all the fun and joy out of these things, as if being dull equates to be profound and challenging.\n\nThe only classes I found to be enjoyable were math classes and classes not related to my major.\u00a0 I especially enjoyed my English and literature classes.\u00a0 I even enjoyed my ethics class (which was my philosophy elective).\u00a0 Of course, I found my PoliSci class to be enjoyable as well, especially since the professor introduced me to Vox Day\u2019s blog, which led me to discovering other blogs, and played an indirect role in my decision to blog.\n\nI suspect the reason why business classes are so unenjoyable is because they are pointless.\u00a0 They are filled with incomprehensible jargon that, when explained, boil down to well-established principles of business:\u00a0 Serve the customer, obey the law, pay your taxes, train your employees well, pay them well, and cut costs wherever possible as long as doing so doesn\u2019t lead to a decrease in

Of course, I don\u2019t know the jargon used utilized by managers self-managed work teams, so I suppose that my practical experience is for naught.\n\nAt any rate, it\u2019s very clear to me that business programs are nothing more than a bad joke.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the punchline is lots of debt and no usable skills.\n", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 183362, "pt_loc": 14851695, "pt_shuffle_idx": 98765530, "doc_index_f": 154814338, "doc_index_l": 154814338, "offset_f": 8961, "offset_l": 11009, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 39, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": "Question: Do I need to get all the stuff out of the clay?\nAnswer: Yes when making your own clay you need to remove the foreign items<|endoftext|> that the \u201cI\u201d is an illusion.

John may enjoy the company of that other being for he was alone before, but at the same time, John likes to have his own space all for himself.\n\nIf john was a \u201cblack or white\u201d type of individual; he will either choose to be alone or to have company. There is no awareness of integrating both experiences without choosing.\n\nThe paradoxical and beautiful thing about the world is that every moral value, every belief system that someone may cherish as \u201ctruth\u201d is contradicted by another living species in Nature.\nDo you think that a caste system, a hierarchy based on being born in certain social class is \u201cbad\u201d?\nTake a look at bees and ants.\nDo you think that family life is a thing of the past?\nTake a look at how wolves live.\nDo you think that to be a loner and to mingle with the opposite gender just to procreate is to take advantage of someone?\nTake a look at the life of tigers.\n\nIf we observe life as it is in Nature and not the artificially created \u201cworld at the office,\u201d we will discover those beautiful contradictions, which make this world what is.\n\nWhat could be God\u2019s law then, in the observation that every species of \u201chis\u201d creation acts contradicting any written law that could ever be?\n\nPerhaps there is a law for every species?\nI have not seen any written codes of conduct for Tigers yet. But because there is that diversity around, could I make myself such a narrow minded, judgmental person who takes sides to label something as \u201cgood or bad\u201d?\n\nIf there was a law of \u201cgood and bad\u201d coming from God himself wouldn\u2019t that be a contradiction of what already exists?\nThat is why many individuals have decided to create their \u201cown world\u201d in their own \u201cshoe box\u201d to fit their beliefs as \u201crighteous\u201d in their world.\n\nAs John\u2019s \u201cshoe box\u201d becomes populated, there is obviously a problem of \u201clogistics\u201d in the human world that animals are unaware of.\nThinking, logic, analysis creates that contradiction which a human being will pretend to resolve through moral standards.\n\nAn animal adapts and harmoniously is able to live in balance with its surroundings.\nA thinking, \u201crational\u201d human being is unable to adapt like that.\n\nThe question is not \u201cwhy is that?\u201d because that will take our logic and rationality into greater contradictions.\n\nThe point is to observe, feel and act.\n\nNature has a completely different way of manifesting beyond logic, rationality and belief systems\u2026 well beyond our \u201coffice world\u201d morality.\n\nThe \u201cworld of the office,\u201d John\u2019s \u201cshoe box\u201d has rationality, analysis, judgment, comparisons, separation, and, ifs, or, not \u2026 computer operations, that we have learned to troubleshoot by breaking the problems in \u201chalfs\u201d until we discover the \u201cculprit.\u201d\n\nNature does not work like that.\n\nWhich world do we choose?\nWrong question if we could see beyond duality, but a rational \u201cgood\u201d question for those who cannot.\n\nIntegrate everything. Welcome the \u201coffice world\u201d and Nature.

Knowing what is Ananda\u2019s direct family link will be only intellectual information at this point. That is of no consequence.\n\nMathias also added: \u201cRaysha will have feelings of motherhood towards her father who is almost ready to depart into another experience.

There is only one life according to the Holy book written by God.\u201d\n\nFeelings don\u2019t lie.\n\nAs we learn to observe all the labels that we use to categorize people into brothers, sisters, aunts, etc. Those categories already define the type of relationship that we are allowed to have now.\nThat is neither \u201cgood nor bad.\u201d Our feelings and not our thoughts are the catalyst for action or reaction, that is why it becomes important to know ourselves by acknowledging our emotions first, to", "base_doc": " that the \u201cI\u201d is an illusion.

But because there is that diversity around, could I make myself such a narrow minded, judgmental person who takes sides to label something as \u201cgood or bad\u201d?\n\nIf there was a law of \u201cgood and bad\u201d coming from God himself wouldn\u2019t that be a contradiction of what already exists?\nThat is why many individuals have decided to create their \u201cown world\u201d in their own \u201cshoe box\u201d to fit their beliefs as \u201crighteous\u201d in their world.\n\nAs John\u2019s \u201cshoe box\u201d becomes populated, there is obviously a problem of \u201clogistics\u201d in the human world that animals are unaware of.\nThinking, logic, analysis creates that contradiction which a human being will pretend to resolve through moral standards.\n\nAn animal adapts and harmoniously is able to live in balance with its surroundings.\nA thinking, \u201crational\u201d human being is unable to adapt like that.\n\nThe question is not \u201cwhy is that?\u201d because that will take our logic and rationality into greater contradictions.\n\nThe point is to observe, feel and act.\n\nNature has a completely different way of manifesting beyond logic, rationality and belief systems\u2026 well beyond our \u201coffice world\u201d morality.\n\nThe \u201cworld of the office,\u201d John\u2019s \u201cshoe box\u201d has rationality, analysis, judgment, comparisons, separation, and, ifs, or, not \u2026 computer operations, that we have learned to troubleshoot by breaking the problems in \u201chalfs\u201d until we discover the \u201cculprit.\u201d\n\nNature does not work like that.\n\nWhich world do we choose?\nWrong question if we could see beyond duality, but a rational \u201cgood\u201d question for those who cannot.\n\nIntegrate everything. Welcome the \u201coffice world\u201d and Nature. Experience both.\n\nAt that point, we could understand practically that \u201cGod\u201d could never have given us any laws to be followed, but to allow us to make sense of things for ourselves\u2026Not intellectually, but by using our \u201cinstincts.\u201d\nThat is insight, intuition, love for the Totality, appreciation of what is, gratefulness and a sense of balance.\nWhen we discover in ourselves what is beautiful, then we have discovered what we have in common with \u201chis\u201d creation.\n\nRelationships in Life\n\n\nWhen we become trapped in labels and traditions from society, we may not be able to listen to our inner voice based on an indisputable feeling, which will let us know the way we should act in life.\n\nAnanda does not feel the same feelings for his family members as his sister Raysha does.\n\nEven though Ananda had mostly a good relationship with his parents; the feeling is not as strong as it could be for Raysha.\n\nAnanda asked Mathias, the wise tree about that.\nMathias responded: \u201cRaysha is related with both family trees; your father and your mother.\nYou Ananda\u2026 you are related through them indirectly, through Raysha.\u201d\n\nAnanda then asked: \u201cWhich one is my direct family link?\u201d\nMathias responded: \u201cThe Universe.\u201d \ud83d\ude42\n\nObviously, there is information that has value at a particular point in time. Knowing what is Ananda\u2019s direct family link will be only intellectual information at this point. That is of no consequence.\n\nMathias also added: \u201cRaysha will have feelings of motherhood towards her father who is almost ready to depart into another experience. Raysha had been her mother in another life.\u201d\n\nThen, Mr. Intellectual and Mrs. Devotional come into the picture:\n\u201c But \u2026 that is not logical\u2026 That is nonsense.\nIf you are the daughter how could you be the mother at the same time? \u201c\n\u201cMy belief is that this is the only lifetime and then you either go to hell or heaven. There is only one life according to the Holy book written by God.\u201d\n\nFeelings don\u2019t lie.\n\nAs we learn to observe all the labels that we use to categorize people into brothers, sisters, aunts, etc. Those categories already define the type of relationship that we are allowed to have now.\nThat is neither \u201cgood nor bad.\u201d Our feelings and not our thoughts are the catalyst for action or reaction, that is why it becomes important to know ourselves by acknowledging our emotions first, to find our feelings.\n\nSometimes, we may meet someone that we would like to get to know better in a relationship, just to find out that \u201cshe", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 184998, "pt_loc": 172999534, "pt_shuffle_idx": 81687189, "doc_index_f": 128053364, "doc_index_l": 128053364, "offset_f": 861, "offset_l": 2909, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 32, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": "Question: Pick a spot with at least 6 feet of space from ground to hanging point.\nAnswer: The most common spot will be a strong tree branch that can withstand significant weight (at least 250 pounds).

Until the 1980s, much of India's coal was extracted from the eastern coalfields (Jharia and Raniganj) in Jharkhand/West Bengal. Now, with the thrust on industrial development, besides intensifying extraction in existing projects through increased mechanization, other coalfields have opened up around India, in particular, the central coalfields of north Karanpura, stretching across Jharkhand (once south Bihar) to the west of Dhanbad, the \u2018coal\u2019 capital of India, located on the Jharia coalfields. The Raniganj\u2013Jharia coalfields1 are still significant, producing about 25 MT per year. Until the advent of open cut development, most coal came from relatively shallow underground mines, extracted using board and pillar technology. Today, large-scale open cut mining is providing about two-thirds of India's coal production.\n\nAlongside, piggy-backing on, the largely government-operated formal mines, has flourished non-conventional mining that is often seen as illegal. This coal mining is carried out by villagers, digging in small patches or from older abandoned mines in these coal-bearing areas. It is illegal because in India, as in many other developing countries, mineral resources under the ground belong to the state. Coal is considered to be a \u2018major\u2019 mineral and hence collieries can only be operated by a licensed operator who can legally mine coal following various norms set by the government. Illegal mining began full scale in the region about 7\u20138 years after nationalization and the raising of coal prices, but instead of staying hidden, as it used to be before, it has now become more visible and diversified. A common sight now-a-days along the highways and other roads in the area are bicycles carrying sacks of coal, the bike being used as an inanimate packhorse with men pushing them instead of pedaling.\n\nOne naturally asks who are these coal cycle wallahs, how much coal do they carry, where does the coal come from, and where does it go? Again, more broadly, one may ask, why do people engage in illegal activities and why now? The research described here started with these simple questions. Our objective here is to provide an estimate of one part of the \u2018black\u2019 (that is, illegal) coal economy in one part of the coal-producing tracts of India by describing the nature and extent of coal (or coke) supplied by bicycle. The black economy, as a whole, is very extensive and pervasive within India. The non-formal economy (combination of informal and black economies) is estimated to amount to ~ 88% of the known gross domestic product (GDP); but according to Kumar at least 40% of the Indian economy is black. Although the latter believes that the black economy is concentrated in the top 3% of India\u2019s money earners, it permeates down to the lowest levels: we show the distinction between informal and illegal economies are becoming increasingly blurred. This paper, therefore, deals primarily with a numerical measurement of the size of illegal coal carried by cyclists in eastern India.\n\nThe research reported here differs from other studies of the \u2018black\u2019 or \u2018underground\u2019 economy, making use of intensive, quantitative field surveys and qualitative in-depth interviews. Data presented in this paper are based on two types of surveys carried out during November\u2013December 2003. The first type of survey counted the number of cycles coming into town along critical roads whilst the other consisted of interviews with administrators, local police, journalists, as well as opportunistic talks with coal cycle wallahs. Information and data collected from the surveys is supported by census data and experience developed in the past three years whilst carrying out research projects in this particular region.\n\nFirst, we provide a flavor of some of the interviews and anecdotal evidence, second, we describe the sources of coal and small-scale coking procedure, the wallahs and their cycles, and the extent of delivery by cycle to a selected town (Hazaribagh in Jharkhand). Finally, we estimate the amount of coal or coke that gets delivered this way from the coalfields in eastern India:", "base_doc": " 1343-56.\n\n61.

Each project could be a class library project, UWP project, web forms project or ASP.NET MVC project and so on. We usually have a core class library project which is shared across multiple layers and contains some backend and core functionality that every layer can use.\n\nEach platform has a different app model and referencing .NET assembly is not possible until it is a PCL (Portable Class Library). Portable class libraries were used to address these type of scenarios where you can select the app models or platforms while creating a class library and then it can be added to the project to which that library supports.\n\nWith the release of .NET Core, Microsoft introduces the next generation of PCL known as .NET Standard. .NET Standard is a set of interfaces that is implemented by different platforms and each .NET Standard has a version number to which that platform supports. There are various versions of .NET Standards to which each platform implements.\n\nBelow table shows the .NET standard version and the platform supported.\n\n\nThese arrows specifies the supportability of the platform to a version of a .NET Standard. For example, .NET Core 1.0 supports version 1.6 and it can add any of the platform assemblies lower to that version. However, if we need to reference the .NET Core 1.0 assembly in any of the lower versions of .NET Standard, we need to degrade our .NET core assembly\u2019s .NET standard to that version.\n\nMicrosoft is now shifting the .NET Core project extension from .xproj to .csproj. As it is still in the\u00a0preview it is not recommended to use in production. However, today if you are using .NET Core 1.0.* in production and wanted to reference your .NET Core assembly in any of the other platforms you can use .NET Standard and use the version that supports other projects. However, due to the different project extension .xproj we cannot reference any .NET Core assembly in other platforms for example UWP project that has a .csproj project extension.\n\nHowever, there is a\u00a0way as shown in this post through which you can create a .NET Core project with a .csproj extension and then easily reference in other .NET project.\n\n1. Create a Class Library (Portable) project\n\n\n2, Select the Target platforms.\n\n\n3.

I write to maybe try to better understand me, and possibly provide some insight into why I'm so withdrawn and sad sometimes.\n\nFor the better part of the last 6 years I fought against the conviction that I was worthless. And, in the end, I won. Because it's not that unbelievable that everyone is worth at least something to someone, because in the end no matter how little you may think you are worth, you are never worthless.\n\nSo my anxiety came up with a new lie, a much better, more subtle one that, like all the best lies, contains truth.\n\nBacking up a bit.\n\nThere's a line I often see on the Internet that says something like, \"Anxiety is caring too much about everything. Depression is not caring about anything.

Each project could be a class library project, UWP project, web forms project or ASP.NET MVC project and so on. We usually have a core class library project which is shared across multiple layers and contains some backend and core functionality that every layer can use.\n\nEach platform has a different app model and referencing .NET assembly is not possible until it is a PCL (Portable Class Library). Portable class libraries were used to address these type of scenarios where you can select the app models or platforms while creating a class library and then it can be added to the project to which that library supports.\n\nWith the release of .NET Core, Microsoft introduces the next generation of PCL known as .NET Standard. .NET Standard is a set of interfaces that is implemented by different platforms and each .NET Standard has a version number to which that platform supports. There are various versions of .NET Standards to which each platform implements.\n\nBelow table shows the .NET standard version and the platform supported.\n\n\nThese arrows specifies the supportability of the platform to a version of a .NET Standard. For example, .NET Core 1.0 supports version 1.6 and it can add any of the platform assemblies lower to that version. However, if we need to reference the .NET Core 1.0 assembly in any of the lower versions of .NET Standard, we need to degrade our .NET core assembly\u2019s .NET standard to that version.\n\nMicrosoft is now shifting the .NET Core project extension from .xproj to .csproj. As it is still in the\u00a0preview it is not recommended to use in production. However, today if you are using .NET Core 1.0.* in production and wanted to reference your .NET Core assembly in any of the other platforms you can use .NET Standard and use the version that supports other projects. However, due to the different project extension .xproj we cannot reference any .NET Core assembly in other platforms for example UWP project that has a .csproj project extension.\n\nHowever, there is a\u00a0way as shown in this post through which you can create a .NET Core project with a .csproj extension and then easily reference in other .NET project.\n\n1. Create a Class Library (Portable) project\n\n\n2, Select the Target platforms.\n\n\n3. Once this project is created, open up the project properties and click on the \u201cTarget .NET Platform Standard\u201d as shown below.\n\n\n4. This will change the \u201cTarget\u201d\u00a0to .NET Standard version and selected the minimal version from the platforms selected.\n\n\n5. Finally, you have an assembly which is a .NET Core 1.0 assembly and it can be added to any platform which supports particular .NET standard or lower version.\n\nHope this helps!\n\nLeave a Reply\n\n\nYou are commenting using your account.

Right out of the gate she asked me if she could get the deposit back on her dress.\n\nI'm sure I turned all kinds of white and red colors as I tried to figure out why she wanted to know that (it didn't help that I was sick and really tired).\n\nI squeaked out a \"Why?\" while trying to hold back images of everyone abanding this wedding like rats from a sinking ship.\n\nTurns out she's found a blue dress that she absolutely loves and is on clearance and she'd rather wear that than the one sitting at the bridal shop.\n\nI paused for a minute as I erased all the images of her not being able to make the wedding for a myriad of reasons, took a calming breath, then attempted to tackle this issue.\n\nI will admit I did for a minute think, crap she can't change dresses. Her dress is green so it'll match with the other ring bearer and she has a blue basket to contrast her dress. Blah blah blah. Luckily none of that came out of my mouth and I realized that it doesn't really matter.\n\nShe still owes around $100 on her dress and she's been having second thoughts on it for a while now. Thanks to the bridal shoppe not knowing how to use size charts she got a dress that is just a bit too small. I think it's still within alterations range but this Thursday she scheduled a visit with their alterations lady to get an idea of what it would cost and if they could do anything.\n\nMy suggestion was that if she could if she had to return the blue dress go ahead and buy it, then bring it with her on Thursday. She could try on the old dress as well as the new one and see which she likes better.\n\nI've seen so many brides that in waiting for their dress to come in suddenly decide they don't want it anymore and get something new, only to want to go back to the old idea. So at least trying on the old one once before abandoning all that money for the deposit was my thought.\n\nI guess we'll see on Thursday. I already said that I'd go with her if I wasn't doing anything too important at work. Man I thought I was done with this whole dress thing.\n\nFriday, September 5, 2008\n\nBlog Love\n\nAs lots of brides get engaged and start this whole planning process and being their own blogs I was thinking this was a good time to go looking for links.\n\nSo if you know a good site or have a blog all of your own that you'd like me to link to just leave a little comment and I'll add ya in.\n\nFor those I already have added here are adorable pictures of lab puppies\n\nGet yer programs!\n\nI'm a bit surprised at all of you who claim you want to see our programs. I'll level with you, they're quite boring and cheap.\n\nI don't have the best sense for stationary so I didn't go out of my way to make a really fancy booklet or even those little rectangular pieces of cardstock.\n\nWe have a whole bunch of people coming who are Catholic and they really need a program as the ceremony is gonna be generally Methodist (but we do have some holy water for them in the back).\n\nTo me that was always the point of programs to tell everyone what is coming up next and when to expect the thing to be done. Of course the other half of the program is to announce who helped with this whole shindig and to thank them. I was always used to the simple paper programs that you get at church, at other weddings I attended when I was little and well really anything that happens at the church.\n\nSo I went old school (kinda like the cake topper). We picked out some not gag me sappy or ugly paper and then came the hard part, getting it all to print. Since making these things were so easy I was thinking I'd share something you don't usually see at most blogs, the order of the ceremony and any other stuff that fills it out. It seems like a lot of people really want a good general idea but it's about impossible to find.\n\nThis is of course our Methodist version, but if you're looking for a pretty simple common Christian flow this is about how it goes (Though I did change 'sermon' to 'homily' for the Catholics in the room). There is also some extra stuff at top including a fun border but I cut it off for the sake of um it wouldn't fit in my screen grab.\n\nThe other side of the programs have a nice long listing of all the people who helped and anyone we're related to as well as a few simple statments like \"If you for some reason forgot the reception starts here at this time\" and \"Thanks for being here with us, in fact you can take a few extra programs with you if you want. We have a ton left over thanks to all those who ditched.\"\n\nThe back is where it gets a bit interesting. Most people will put a quote or two that is inspiring and all about how great love is. Well we aren't sappy so it's been a difficult challenge trying to find love quotes that don't give me a sugar rush.If you can't read them here's what they say:\n\n\u201cThe way to find out if you love someone or not, is by talking to them.

No it isn't us railing against all those problems and road blocks wedding planning has thrown us. It's another quote, a quote a lot of people at weddings wouldn't want to think about but one that I think holds quite true especially held up to the light of the idea of the wedding being the best day of your life.\n\n\"Listen, happy endings is fine if they turn out happy.

The \"Pipers\" are supposed to be the figures of two men who played tunes on a Sunday and suffered the same fate.

They\u2019ll tell you that if they don\u2019t have it then they won\u2019t be cool, which is probably the worst possible thing that can happen to a child. The problem is, all of that tech is incredibly expensive. The situation is made more difficult by the fact that they need laptops for schoolwork now so even if you aren\u2019t going to get them that new games console they\u2019re desperate for, you still need to update their computer from time to time. When you\u2019re trying to budget for the whole family, those extra expenses can put a spanner in the works but don\u2019t worry, there are some simple ways that you can make big savings on tech.\n\nRepair, Don\u2019t Replace\n\nKids are prone to breaking things quite a lot and if they\u2019re smashing their phone screen once a month, the bill will soon rack up. But you don\u2019t need to bother buying them a brand new phone every time they drop it. It\u2019s much cheaper to send it off to somewhere like and have it fixed instead. It also teaches your kids the value of saving money by repairing things rather than being careless and buying new stuff every five minutes. This is especially important with computers because, while it might seem as though they\u2019ve packed up completely, to an expert those problems might be simple to fix. You could get away with paying a small amount instead of shelling out for a whole new laptop.\n\nBuy Refurbished\n\nWhen you suggest this to the kids, they\u2019re going to protest. They\u2019ll tell you that anything apart from the latest model just won\u2019t do. The truth is, phone companies release a new model every year but there isn\u2019t usually that much difference between the new one and the old one, apart from the price tag of course. Companies that refurbish phones and laptops will make them good as new, and you can get them for almost half the price of buying a brand new one. Visit for a quick guide on buying refurbished products so you don\u2019t get caught out by faulty goods.\n\nHave Them Share\n\nWith phones, they\u2019re going to need their own, but that\u2019s not true of everything. They probably won\u2019t remember this but there was a time when most households had just one computer that everybody shared. Why not try that instead? As long as you draw up a schedule so everybody has enough time to use it for any schoolwork that they need to do, you should be fine. It\u2019s also a good way of keeping an eye on what they\u2019re viewing online which is vital these days. And you can monitor how much time they\u2019re spending in front of a screen as well. Hand me downs are a good idea as well, that way you can buy one new computer and give the older one to the younger kids.\n\nThe important thing is to do a bit of research and work out what they actually need, and what they just want, otherwise, they\u2019ll trick you into buying expensive tech that you can\u2019t afford.<|endoftext|>What is Foolsaurus?\n\n\nHow to Calculate Pivot Points in Stocks\n\nOriginal post by Slav Fedorov of Demand Media\n\nA pivot point on a stock chart is the price level at which a major move of significance can start. Pivots can be either a reversal or continuation of a trend. A reversal pivot is the level at which a stock is likely to change direction from up to down or vice versa. A continuation pivot is the level from which a stock's advance would resume in the same direction after a period of consolidation, or basing. Pivots are important in stock trading because they are considered the best points at which to buy stocks. It takes training and experience to determine and calculate pivot points.\n\nStep 1\n\nLearn basic stock chart patterns. Each chart pattern has a potential pivot which can only be determined correctly if an investor is familiar with the pattern.\n\nStep 2\n\nObtain a daily stock chart for the stock you are considering and examine it to identify the most recent pattern forming on the right-hand side of the chart.\n\nStep 3\n\nDraw imaginary or actual lines that delineate the pattern. A stock moving above the upper boundary of a pattern constitutes a breakout -- the beginning of a move of significance, and the best moment to buy.\n\nStep 4\n\nDetermine the point on the pattern that would signify a breakout if the stock moves through it, and the associated price. Depending on the pattern, it may or may not be the highest price for a specified preceding period, but it will almost always be the price at which the stock previously stopped and reversed while forming the pattern's upper boundary.\n\nStep 5\n\nAdd 10 cents to the price -- that's your pivot. If the stock moves through the pivot on high volume, it validates the pivot and the breakout.\n\n\nTips & Warnings\n\n \u2022 Watch the stock's daily trading volume during a breakout. If the stock moves through a pivot on low volume, the breakout may be weak and have a high probability of failure.\n \u2022 Use printed charts or online charting services to draw lines that help you to analyze chart patterns and identify correct pivots.\n\n\n \u2022 \"How to Make Money in Stocks\"; William O'Neil; 2009\n\nAbout the Author\n<|endoftext|>Question: How do you organize a money clip?\nAnswer: remove everything from the money clip;Fold all paper bills in half; Push the bills into clip; slide the credit cards into the folded bills<|endoftext|>No recent wiki edits to this page.\n\n\nIt was apparent even at a young age that Andrew Hamish Grave was a mutant. His father was abusive to him and his mother, blaming her for having given birth to a mutant. Andrew's father eventually killed his wife by forcing her to drink paint stripper, but told young Andrew that she'd run away. His father continued to abuse him over the years, even forcing him to eat garbage, causing Andrew to grow up with an intense hatred of both himself and humans in general. He eventually discovered his mutant power to control people through pheromones, and took the name Spoor after he was recruited by Fabian Cortez into the Acolytes.\n\n\nSpoor was created by Scott Lobdell and John Romita, Jr in 1993 and first appeared in Uncanny X-Men # 300.\n\nMajor Story Arcs\n\nThe Acolytes\n\nAs a member of the Acolytes, Spoor took part in an attack on a hospital and killed many human patients. When Excalibur arrived to stop the Acolytes, Spoor tried to coerce Nightcrawler into killing him, but he managed to resist. As it turned out, Spoor hated himself just as much as he hated humans. Deep down, he even felt that killing humans was wrong and that he deserved to be killed for what he'd done.\n\n\nSpoor learns the truth about his mother.\n\nSpoor would remain a prisoner in Excalibur's custody for some time on Muir Island. While there, Dr. Rory Campbell sought to cure Spoor of his sociopathic nature. Campbell subjected Spoor to various psychological therapy sessions within a room equipped with aggression-tracking lasers, with Campbell himself taking drugs to inhibit Spoor's ability to influence him. Campbell's underlying animosity of mutants got the better of him however, and Spoor was able to goad the doctor into attacking him, causing a laser to react and sever one of Campbell's legs. Spoor would remain in custody afterwards for some time, both on Muir Island and later the main land. He eventually escaped however and fled to Genosha, currently ruled by Magneto. Spoor however later died during a Sentinel attack on the island.\n\n\nSpoor was one of the many dead mutants resurrected by Eli Bard during Necrosha.\n\nPowers & Abilities\n\nSpoor's primary mutation was ability to produce mood-altering pheromones that allowed him to heighten the aggression of others around him. He could direct his victims' aggression, but would often leave it uncontrolled, secretly hoping that his victims would turn on him as well. His physical mutations cause his entire body to be covered in hair and take on a more bestial nature, bringing with it some degree of animal-like enhanced abilities.\n\nThis edit will also create new pages on Comic Vine for:\n\n\nComment and Save\n<|endoftext|>This website is no longer actively maintained\nSome material and features may be unavailable\nMarch 4th, 2009\nPakistan at the Polls\nVideo: You Cannot Hide from Allah\n\nMeet the Michael Bloomberg of Pakistan.\n\nIshan Khan was just a regular guy, an immigrant working as a taxi driver in Washington, D.C.

When you\u2019re trying to budget for the whole family, those extra expenses can put a spanner in the works but don\u2019t worry, there are some simple ways that you can make big savings on tech.\n\nRepair, Don\u2019t Replace\n\nKids are prone to breaking things quite a lot and if they\u2019re smashing their phone screen once a month, the bill will soon rack up. But you don\u2019t need to bother buying them a brand new phone every time they drop it. It\u2019s much cheaper to send it off to somewhere like and have it fixed instead. It also teaches your kids the value of saving money by repairing things rather than being careless and buying new stuff every five minutes. This is especially important with computers because, while it might seem as though they\u2019ve packed up completely, to an expert those problems might be simple to fix. You could get away with paying a small amount instead of shelling out for a whole new laptop.\n\nBuy Refurbished\n\nWhen you suggest this to the kids, they\u2019re going to protest. They\u2019ll tell you that anything apart from the latest model just won\u2019t do. The truth is, phone companies release a new model every year but there isn\u2019t usually that much difference between the new one and the old one, apart from the price tag of course. Companies that refurbish phones and laptops will make them good as new, and you can get them for almost half the price of buying a brand new one. Visit for a quick guide on buying refurbished products so you don\u2019t get caught out by faulty goods.\n\nHave Them Share\n\nWith phones, they\u2019re going to need their own, but that\u2019s not true of everything. They probably won\u2019t remember this but there was a time when most households had just one computer that everybody shared. Why not try that instead? As long as you draw up a schedule so everybody has enough time to use it for any schoolwork that they need to do, you should be fine. It\u2019s also a good way of keeping an eye on what they\u2019re viewing online which is vital these days. And you can monitor how much time they\u2019re spending in front of a screen as well. Hand me downs are a good idea as well, that way you can buy one new computer and give the older one to the younger kids.\n\nThe important thing is to do a bit of research and work out what they actually need, and what they just want, otherwise, they\u2019ll trick you into buying expensive tech that you can\u2019t afford.<|endoftext|>What is Foolsaurus?\n\n\nHow to Calculate Pivot Points in Stocks\n\nOriginal post by Slav Fedorov of Demand Media\n\nA pivot point on a stock chart is the price level at which a major move of significance can start. Pivots can be either a reversal or continuation of a trend. A reversal pivot is the level at which a stock is likely to change direction from up to down or vice versa. A continuation pivot is the level from which a stock's advance would resume in the same direction after a period of consolidation, or basing. Pivots are important in stock trading because they are considered the best points at which to buy stocks. It takes training and experience to determine and calculate pivot points.\n\nStep 1\n\nLearn basic stock chart patterns. Each chart pattern has a potential pivot which can only be determined correctly if an investor is familiar with the pattern.\n\nStep 2\n\nObtain a daily stock chart for the stock you are considering and examine it to identify the most recent pattern forming on the right-hand side of the chart.\n\nStep 3\n\nDraw imaginary or actual lines that delineate the pattern. A stock moving above the upper boundary of a pattern constitutes a breakout -- the beginning of a move of significance, and the best moment to buy.\n\nStep 4\n\nDetermine the point on the pattern that would signify a breakout if the stock moves through it, and the associated price. Depending on the pattern, it may or may not be the highest price for a specified preceding period, but it will almost always be the price at which the stock previously stopped and reversed while forming the pattern's upper boundary.\n\nStep 5\n\nAdd 10 cents to the price -- that's your pivot. If the stock moves through the pivot on high volume, it validates the pivot and the breakout.\n\n\nTips & Warnings\n\n \u2022 Watch the stock's daily trading volume during a breakout. If the stock moves through a pivot on low volume, the breakout may be weak and have a high probability of failure.\n \u2022 Use printed charts or online charting services to draw lines that help you to analyze chart patterns and identify correct pivots.\n\n\n \u2022 \"How to Make Money in Stocks\"; William O'Neil; 2009\n\nAbout the Author\n<|endoftext|>No recent wiki edits to this page.\n\n\nIt was apparent even at a young age that Andrew Hamish Grave was a mutant. His father was abusive to him and his mother, blaming her for having given birth to a mutant. Andrew's father eventually killed his wife by forcing her to drink paint stripper, but told young Andrew that she'd run away. His father continued to abuse him over the years, even forcing him to eat garbage, causing Andrew to grow up with an intense hatred of both himself and humans in general. He eventually discovered his mutant power to control people through pheromones, and took the name Spoor after he was recruited by Fabian Cortez into the Acolytes.\n\n\nSpoor was created by Scott Lobdell and John Romita, Jr in 1993 and first appeared in Uncanny X-Men # 300.\n\nMajor Story Arcs\n\nThe Acolytes\n\nAs a member of the Acolytes, Spoor took part in an attack on a hospital and killed many human patients. When Excalibur arrived to stop the Acolytes, Spoor tried to coerce Nightcrawler into killing him, but he managed to resist. As it turned out, Spoor hated himself just as much as he hated humans. Deep down, he even felt that killing humans was wrong and that he deserved to be killed for what he'd done.\n\n\nSpoor learns the truth about his mother.\n\nSpoor would remain a prisoner in Excalibur's custody for some time on Muir Island. While there, Dr. Rory Campbell sought to cure Spoor of his sociopathic nature. Campbell subjected Spoor to various psychological therapy sessions within a room equipped with aggression-tracking lasers, with Campbell himself taking drugs to inhibit Spoor's ability to influence him. Campbell's underlying animosity of mutants got the better of him however, and Spoor was able to goad the doctor into attacking him, causing a laser to react and sever one of Campbell's legs. Spoor would remain in custody afterwards for some time, both on Muir Island and later the main land. He eventually escaped however and fled to Genosha, currently ruled by Magneto. Spoor however later died during a Sentinel attack on the island.\n\n\nSpoor was one of the many dead mutants resurrected by Eli Bard during Necrosha.\n\nPowers & Abilities\n\nSpoor's primary mutation was ability to produce mood-altering pheromones that allowed him to heighten the aggression of others around him. He could direct his victims' aggression, but would often leave it uncontrolled, secretly hoping that his victims would turn on him as well. His physical mutations cause his entire body to be covered in hair and take on a more bestial nature, bringing with it some degree of animal-like enhanced abilities.\n\nThis edit will also create new pages on Comic Vine for:\n\n\nComment and Save\n<|endoftext|>This website is no longer actively maintained\nSome material and features may be unavailable\nMarch 4th, 2009\nPakistan at the Polls\nVideo: You Cannot Hide from Allah\n\nMeet the Michael Bloomberg of Pakistan.\n\nIshan Khan was just a regular guy, an immigrant working as a taxi driver in Washington, D.C.

Problems more commonly associated with Western societies have flourished quietly in Japan for a long time, Babior said. She offered some shocking figures from Japanese government studies and her own research that showed that some 14% of Japanese women admitted to hospitals for injuries are the victims of domestic violence, that even among young people half see nothing wrong with this kind of behavior by husbands, and that international trafficking in women for the sex trade is rampant. Dr. Babior's talk was sponsored by the UCLA Women's Studies Department.\n\nDr. Babior discussed the exploitation of women in Japan by using two separate but related issues: domestic violence, and woman trafficking. \"It's only been in the last decade or so where perceptions of Japan have actually been changing. From a culture that has been seen as harmonious, as being crime-free, as being homogeneous, [perceptions are] now shifting -- not only for those outside Japan, but also for people inside Japan. Their culture is actually much more heterogeneous than once thought. They, as a society, encounter the same gamut of human problems that would be found in any human society around the world.\"\n\nDr. Babior's research connected her with a shelter for women called HELP, which stands for House in Emergency of Love and Peace. There, Dr. Babior encountered women with harrowing stories of abuse, violence, and neglect. Many women at this shelter had been trafficked to Japan to work in the sex industry, and many others were the victims of domestic violence.\n\"Fifty-eight percent of these women at the shelter say they've been trafficked and were escaping their situations, followed by partner violence at thirty-one percent.\" Both of these issues, Babior asserted, have gone unexamined in Japanese society until very recently.\n\nDomestic Violence across Cultures\n\nWhen Dr. Babior began her research in the early 1980s, she wondered if behavioral characteristics that have been cited in Western literature about domestic violence also applied to the Japanese society.\n\nIn Western cultures, Babior said, many women blame themselves for the abuse, experience low self-esteem, feelings of isolation, and alienation. Abused women in the West, she continued, often have a belief in traditional sex roles, and their batterers experience heightened feelings of jealousy. Dr. Babior found that a great deal of similarity exists between the experiences of battered women in Japan and battered women in the West.\n\n\"The latest police reports from Japan cite that one third of women who are killed each year are killed by their husbands. This is a number that is surprisingly similar to the number you will find in the United States. So, as we look at the issue cross-culturally, I think what we can say is that there are more similarities than differences that unite women that are found in these sorts of situations.\"\n\nWhile similar psychological dynamics are at work between the abused and the abuser, the context of this abuse is very different given the idiosyncrasies of Japanese society. \"The setting for all of this of course, and it's a big category, is that Japan has a patriarchal system where there is a very well defined polarization between male and female roles.\"\nShe illustrated this point by telling the UCLA audience about a forty-year-old woman from the shelter who had been repeatedly abused by her husband, a retired Tokyo taxi driver. Her 200-pound husband would often wake her up in the middle of the night and slap her for no apparent reason.\n\n\"He hit her in the head with his fists and then took her head and hit it against the edge of the table repeatedly. She showed me recent bruises on her head and scalp. She also had bruises on her neck, shoulders, arms, and wrists. Her past injuries include a forehead laceration, a broken middle finger, her teeth were knocked out, and she's gone to the hospital several times for her injuries. And she goes on to talk about how she believes that her role should be to take care of the children and be in the house, and that her husband's role should be to go outside and earn money.\"\n\nBabior said that this woman called the police on numerous occasions, yet they would consistently dismiss the matter and encourage the pair to reconcile. The police steered clear of the violence because it was at the hands of her husband instead of a stranger. \"There's a sense of violence being part and parcel of the prerogative of the husband to beat his wife if he cares to.\"\n\nThe government of Japan is beginning to respond to this problem. In 2001, the Law of Prevention of Spouse Violence and Protection of Victims was passed.\n\nLaw of Prevention Spouse Violence and Protection of Victims\n\n\"There was a three-year government study that lead up to the passage of this law, between 1997 and 2000. And in that government study, five percent of wives that were included in that survey said they had experienced critical violence at the hand of their husbands. And those are just ones that admit it.\"\n\nThis government study found that one in seven women who had sought medical attention for injuries listed spousal violence for the reason they went to the hospital. Another finding in this particular study was that domestic violence was quite uniform throughout the socioeconomic classes, Babior reported.\n\n\"You don't find any differences in terms of the types or levels of abuse that are experienced by poor women, middle class women, or wealthy women. And the same goes for education. The highly educated, the poorly educated experience similar types and levels of abuse. And that concurs with Western literature as well.\"\n\nDr. Babior also mentioned that there is a movement to amend this law in order to expand the definition of abuse to include psychological battering.\n\nCultural Dimension of Domestic Violence\n\nDr. Babior explained that cultural factors have contributed to the hidden dimension of domestic violence in Japan, adding that the perceptions of violence in Japan are very different than they are in the West.\n\n\"What appears to be normative for a Westerner is non-normative to the Japanese perception. What I mean is that up until 2001 when it was legally declared illegal to abuse one's partner, up until this point it has been as very normal behavior.\"\nBabior added that attitudes are changing among the young. She cited a survey that was conducted to see how the youth of Japan viewed partner abuse. Fifty percent of those surveyed said it is not acceptable to abuse one's partner. Of course, that means that 50 percent found such behavior is acceptable. While evenly divided, Babior said, \"If you went back to their parents' or grandparents' generation, it was actually seen as okay to use violence against one's partner.\"\n\nAnother dimension that has added to the lack of awareness and hidden nature of violence is the Japanese concept of female endurance, she explained.\n\n\"To endure on anybody's part is seen as an admirable quality and personality trait. So if you can endure a bad situation, this actually is something seen as being a positive, and something that is respected. This goes so far. When I talked to the government shelters they told me they always counseled women seeking shelter to try to shape up and go back to the relationship and bear it because it was far less damaging for society for them to keep their marriage together than to divorce. There was a sense that it's important to maintain families rather than have people that are divorced or separated because this can somehow shake-up the social fabric. Part of their counseling was to try to encourage the women to go back and try to make the relationship work.\"\n\nBabior explained that there is also a lack of reporting and discussing violence outside of the family because of the cultural concept of shame.\n\n\"If an individual would come forward and admit that there was a problem, it doesn't limit itself to that individual but it extends to all family members and brings shame upon all family. So it's seen as being much more desirable just to kind of grit your teeth and bear your problems rather than bring shame upon yourself and your family, which is not erasable. You do not get rid of the shame. It can persist beyond your generation. It can spill to your children's generation.\"\n\nHuman Trafficking, and Sexual Bondage\n\nThe other subject that Dr. Babior has studied relating to the exploitation of women in Japan is the human trafficking that feeds Japan's sex industry. Many of the women in Japanese shelters are fleeing sexual servitude, fearing for their lives.\n\"Japan is a society where there are sexual inequalities which are accepted as a given, and where sexual exploitation of women is not necessarily seen as", "base_doc": " The most important thing you can do is reach out to an expert, like one from\u00a0Palmer Roofing, as soon as you realize you have a leak.

Problems more commonly associated with Western societies have flourished quietly in Japan for a long time, Babior said. She offered some shocking figures from Japanese government studies and her own research that showed that some 14% of Japanese women admitted to hospitals for injuries are the victims of domestic violence, that even among young people half see nothing wrong with this kind of behavior by husbands, and that international trafficking in women for the sex trade is rampant. Dr. Babior's talk was sponsored by the UCLA Women's Studies Department.\n\nDr. Babior discussed the exploitation of women in Japan by using two separate but related issues: domestic violence, and woman trafficking. \"It's only been in the last decade or so where perceptions of Japan have actually been changing. From a culture that has been seen as harmonious, as being crime-free, as being homogeneous, [perceptions are] now shifting -- not only for those outside Japan, but also for people inside Japan. Their culture is actually much more heterogeneous than once thought. They, as a society, encounter the same gamut of human problems that would be found in any human society around the world.\"\n\nDr. Babior's research connected her with a shelter for women called HELP, which stands for House in Emergency of Love and Peace. There, Dr. Babior encountered women with harrowing stories of abuse, violence, and neglect. Many women at this shelter had been trafficked to Japan to work in the sex industry, and many others were the victims of domestic violence.\n\"Fifty-eight percent of these women at the shelter say they've been trafficked and were escaping their situations, followed by partner violence at thirty-one percent.\" Both of these issues, Babior asserted, have gone unexamined in Japanese society until very recently.\n\nDomestic Violence across Cultures\n\nWhen Dr. Babior began her research in the early 1980s, she wondered if behavioral characteristics that have been cited in Western literature about domestic violence also applied to the Japanese society.\n\nIn Western cultures, Babior said, many women blame themselves for the abuse, experience low self-esteem, feelings of isolation, and alienation. Abused women in the West, she continued, often have a belief in traditional sex roles, and their batterers experience heightened feelings of jealousy. Dr. Babior found that a great deal of similarity exists between the experiences of battered women in Japan and battered women in the West.\n\n\"The latest police reports from Japan cite that one third of women who are killed each year are killed by their husbands. This is a number that is surprisingly similar to the number you will find in the United States. So, as we look at the issue cross-culturally, I think what we can say is that there are more similarities than differences that unite women that are found in these sorts of situations.\"\n\nWhile similar psychological dynamics are at work between the abused and the abuser, the context of this abuse is very different given the idiosyncrasies of Japanese society. \"The setting for all of this of course, and it's a big category, is that Japan has a patriarchal system where there is a very well defined polarization between male and female roles.\"\nShe illustrated this point by telling the UCLA audience about a forty-year-old woman from the shelter who had been repeatedly abused by her husband, a retired Tokyo taxi driver. Her 200-pound husband would often wake her up in the middle of the night and slap her for no apparent reason.\n\n\"He hit her in the head with his fists and then took her head and hit it against the edge of the table repeatedly. She showed me recent bruises on her head and scalp. She also had bruises on her neck, shoulders, arms, and wrists. Her past injuries include a forehead laceration, a broken middle finger, her teeth were knocked out, and she's gone to the hospital several times for her injuries. And she goes on to talk about how she believes that her role should be to take care of the children and be in the house, and that her husband's role should be to go outside and earn money.\"\n\nBabior said that this woman called the police on numerous occasions, yet they would consistently dismiss the matter and encourage the pair to reconcile. The police steered clear of the violence because it was at the hands of her husband instead of a stranger. \"There's a sense of violence being part and parcel of the prerogative of the husband to beat his wife if he cares to.\"\n\nThe government of Japan is beginning to respond to this problem.

That point is that animals have completely different biology to humans. I decided to do some research on this to found out more about the biology of humans and animals. It turns out that some biological systems of animals are similar to that of humans. For example swines (pigs) have similar cardiovascular and skin systems to humans. Some animals even had similar DNA to humans. mice share 94% of its DNA with us. Research in genetic disorders such as Down Syndrome or Parkinson\u2019s disease have used a mouse model because of how much DNA is shared between human and mice. So saying that animals have completely different biology to humans to me is an incorrect statement.

Our homes need electricity to remain lit and warm; our cars need petrol to start; even our computers and smartphones need power to process data. Most of this energy comes from traditional sources like nuclear stations or fossil fuel. However, ecological problems such as depletion of mineral resources and growing carbon emission force us to look for alternative energy sources.\n\nThe idea of renewable energy isn\u2019t new. For decades, people have been trying to convert sunlight, wind, ocean waves, and Earth\u2019s heat into electricity. Despite experts\u2019 warnings, people continue using coal, petroleum, and natural gas to power the global energy ecosystem. Why? The thing is that most businesses use traditional forms of power generation. It\u2019s too costly and time-consuming to rebuild the whole infrastructure, as well as switch from regular processes to something new and poorly studied.\n\nIn this article, we will discuss modern projects focused on renewable energy, and how they can help society and nature.\n\nRenewable energy 101\n\nBefore we proceed to the main things everybody should learn about renewables, it\u2019s essential to learn what this term stands for. Simply put, renewable energy covers all types of energy sources which are traditionally considered inexhaustible.\n\nScientists define five common methods of using renewable energy:\n\n \u2022 Solar: capturing and handling sunbeams via solar panels and panel fields\n \u2022 Wind: processing airflows through large propeller-like turbines\n \u2022 Hydro: capturing water power with dams and tidal power generators\n \u2022 Geothermal: getting energy from volcanoes, geysers, and radioactive decay\n \u2022 Bio: growing and processing plants to produce bio-energy\n\nIt\u2019s also important to realize that such resources are inexhaustible, but limited. They provide a certain amount of energy per unit of time, so we can\u2019t take all the power from the sun or oceans at once.\n\nKey facts about renewable energy projects\n\nThe researchers from the University of Geneva have recently published a report, where they claim that mineral resource exhaustion is a myth! Of course, we should not underestimate the rates of consumption, but the Earth is large and yet unexplored; so next generations will have enough time to find solutions for using traditional energy sources.\n\nDespite the findings of Swiss scientists, it is essential to focus on sustainable development. One of the reasons is to save the world from irreversible climate changes, which can have a disastrous effect on our lives. For instance, high carbon emission may lead to ozone depletion, increase in average temperatures, and, finally, global warming. Certainly, this scenario looks apocalyptic, but it is still possible. To prevent this from happening, many renewable energy projects are being developed now.\n\n1.

Both distance and duration demand that spacecraft have systems that can reliably operate far from home, keep astronauts alive in case of emergencies, and still be light enough that a rocket can launch it.\n\nThere are five technologies necessary for a spacecraft to survive deep space:\n\n1. Systems to Live and Breathe. As humans travel farther from Earth for longer missions, the systems that keep them alive must be highly reliable while taking up minimal mass and volume. Orion will be equipped with advanced environmental control and life support systems designed for the demands of a deep space mission. A high-tech system being tested aboard the International Space Station will remove carbon dioxide and humidity from inside Orion, which is important to ensure air remains safe for the crew. Water condensation on the vehicle hardware is controlled to prevent water intrusion into sensitive equipment or corrosion on the primary pressure structure. The system also saves volume inside the spacecraft. Without such technology, Orion would have to carry many chemical canisters that would otherwise take up the space of 127 basketballs inside the spacecraft \u2014 about 10 percent of crew livable area.\n\nHighly reliable systems are critically important when distant crew will not have the benefit of frequent resupply shipments to bring spare parts from Earth. Even small systems have to function reliably to support life in space, from an automated fire suppression system to exercise equipment that helps astronauts counteract the zero-gravity environment in space that can cause muscle and bone atrophy. Distance from home also demands that Orion have spacesuits capable of keeping astronauts alive for six days in the event of cabin depressurization to support a long trip home.\n\nThe Bio-Analyzer enables near-real-time, onboard analysis using biological samples such as blood, urine, saliva, sweat, and cell cultures. This diagnostic tool could help test specific countermeasures that are key to future exploration missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. (NASA)\n\n2. Proper Propulsion. The farther into space a vehicle ventures, the more capable its propulsion systems need to be to maintain its course on the journey and ensure its crew can get home. Orion has a highly capable service module that is the powerhouse for the spacecraft, providing propulsion capabilities that enable Orion to go around the Moon and back on its exploration missions. The service module has 33 engines of various sizes. The main engine will provide major in-space maneuvering capabilities throughout the mission; the other 32 engines are used to steer and control Orion on orbit.\n\nIn part due to its propulsion capabilities \u2014 including tanks that can hold nearly 2,000 gallons of propellant and a backup for the main engine in tire event of a failure \u2014 Orion\u2019s service module is equipped to handle the rigors of travel for missions that are both far and long, and has the ability to bring the crew home in a variety of emergency situations.\n\n3. Holding Off the Heat. The farther a spacecraft travels in space, the more heat it will generate as it returns to Earth. Getting back safely requires technologies that can help a spacecraft endure speeds 30 times the speed of sound and heat twice as hot as molten lava or half as hot as the Sun. Orion\u2019s advanced heat shield, made with a material called AVCOAT, is designed to wear away as it heats up. It is the largest of its kind ever built and will help the spacecraft withstand temperatures around 5,000 \u00b0F during re-entry though Earth\u2019s atmosphere. A thermal protection system, paired with thermal controls, will protect Orion during periods of direct sunlight and pitch black darkness while its crews will comfortably enjoy a safe and stable interior temperature of about 77 \u00b0F.\n\n4. Radiation Protection. As a spacecraft travels on missions beyond the protection of Earth\u2019s magnetic field, it will be exposed to a harsher radiation environment than in low-Earth orbit, with greater amounts of radiation from charged particles and solar storms that can cause disruptions to critical computers, avionics, and other equipment. Humans exposed to large amounts of radiation can experience both acute and chronic health problems ranging from near-term radiation sickness to the potential of developing cancer in the long term.\n\nOrion is equipped with four identical computers that each are self-checking, plus an entirely different backup computer to ensure it can still send commands in the event of a disruption. It also has a makeshift storm shelter below the main deck of the crew module. In the event of a solar radiation event, NASA has developed plans for crew to create a temporary shelter inside using materials onboard. A variety of radiation sensors will also be onboard to help scientists better understand the radiation environment far away from Earth.\n\n5. Constant Communication and Navigation. Spacecraft venturing far from home go beyond the Global Positioning System (GPS) in space and above communication satellites in Earth orbit. To talk with mission control in Houston, Orion will use all three of NASA\u2019s space communications networks. As it rises from the launch pad and into cislunar space, Orion will switch from the Near Earth Network to the Space Network, and finally to the Deep Space Network that provides communications for some of NASA\u2019s most distant spacecraft.\n\nOrion is also equipped with backup communication and navigation systems to help the spacecraft stay in contact with the ground and orient itself if primary systems fail. The backup navigation system, a relatively new technology called optical navigation, uses a camera to take pictures of the Earth, Moon, and stars and autonomously triangulate Orion\u2019s position from the photos.\n\nHazards of Life in Space\n\nKennedy Space Center chemical engineer Annie Meier adjusts the trash-to-gas reactor she is developing to recycle trash during deep space missions. Materials such as scraps, wrappers, packaging, and other garbage could be converted into methane gas, oxygen, and water. (NASA/Dan Casper)\n\nA human journey to Mars offers an inexhaustible amount of complexities. NASA\u2019s Human Research Program has determined five hazards of human spaceflight; however, these hazards do not stand alone. They can feed off one another and exacerbate! effects on the human body. Various research platforms including the International Space Station, as well as field tests in locations that have physical similarities to Mars, give NASA insight into how the human body and mind might respond during extended trips into space.\n\nThe Deployable Enclosed Martian Environment for Technology, Eating, and Recreation (DEMETER) from Dartmouth College \u2014 winner of the 2019 Breakthrough, Innovative and Game-changing (BIG) Idea Challenge \u2014 is a habitat-sized Mars greenhouse with the primary purpose of food production. An efficient and safe greenhouse design could not only assist with Mars missions but also long-term lunar missions.\n\n1. Radiation. Radiation is not only stealthy but is considered one of the most menacing of the five hazards. Above Earth\u2019s natural protection, radiation exposure increases cancer risk, damages the central nervous system, can alter cognitive function, reduce motor function, and cause behavioral changes. To learn what can happen above low-Earth orbit, NASA studies how radiation affects biological samples on the ISS, which lies just within Earth\u2019s protective magnetic field. Deep space vehicles will have significant protective shielding, dosimetry, and alerts. Research is also being conducted in the field of medical countermeasures such as pharmaceuticals to help defend against radiation.\n\n2. Isolation and Confinement. Behavioral issues among groups of people in a small space over a long period of time, no matter how well trained they are, are inevitable. Crews will be carefully chosen, trained, and supported to ensure they can work effectively as a team for months or years in space. The more confined and isolated humans are, the more likely they are to develop behavioral or cognitive conditions such as a decline in mood, cognition, morale, or interpersonal interaction; sleep disorders; depression; fatigue; and boredom. Research is being conducted in workload, light therapy for circadian alignment, phase shifting, and alertness.\n\n3. Distance from Earth. Mars is, on average, 140 million miles from Earth. Rather than a three-day lunar trip, astronauts would be leaving Earth for roughly three years. While ISS expeditions serve as a rough foundation for the expected impact on planning logistics for such a trip, the data isn\u2019t always comparable. If a medical event or emergency happens on the ISS, the crew can return home within hours. Additionally, cargo vehicles continually resupply the crews with fresh food, medical equipment, and other resources. Once you burn your engines for Mars, there is no turning back and no resupply. Facing a communication delay of up to 20 minutes one way and the possibility of equipment failures or a medical emergency, astronauts must be capable of confronting an array of situations without support from their team on Earth.\n\nNASA is developing the technologies to build a spacesuit for use on Mars. Engineers consider everything from traversing the Martian landscape to picking up rock samples. The Z-2 suit will help solve unique problems faced by the first humans to set foot on Mars. One of the challenges is that the red soil on Mars could affect the astronauts and systems inside a spacecraft if tracked in after a spacewalk. To counter this, new spacesuit designs feature a suitport on the back, so astronauts can quickly hop in from inside a spacecraft while the suit stays outside, keeping it clean indoors. (NASA/Bill Stafford)\n\n4. Gravity (or lack of it). There are three gravity fields astronauts will experience on a Mars mission: weightlessness be-ween planets, 1/3 of Earth\u2019s gravity on Mars, and normal gravity upon returning to Earth", "base_doc": " it requires an array of technologies to keep it and a crew inside safe.

As a spacecraft travels on missions beyond the protection of Earth\u2019s magnetic field, it will be exposed to a harsher radiation environment than in low-Earth orbit, with greater amounts of radiation from charged particles and solar storms that can cause disruptions to critical computers, avionics, and other equipment. Humans exposed to large amounts of radiation can experience both acute and chronic health problems ranging from near-term radiation sickness to the potential of developing cancer in the long term.\n\nOrion is equipped with four identical computers that each are self-checking, plus an entirely different backup computer to ensure it can still send commands in the event of a disruption. It also has a makeshift storm shelter below the main deck of the crew module. In the event of a solar radiation event, NASA has developed plans for crew to create a temporary shelter inside using materials onboard. A variety of radiation sensors will also be onboard to help scientists better understand the radiation environment far away from Earth.\n\n5. Constant Communication and Navigation. Spacecraft venturing far from home go beyond the Global Positioning System (GPS) in space and above communication satellites in Earth orbit. To talk with mission control in Houston, Orion will use all three of NASA\u2019s space communications networks. As it rises from the launch pad and into cislunar space, Orion will switch from the Near Earth Network to the Space Network, and finally to the Deep Space Network that provides communications for some of NASA\u2019s most distant spacecraft.\n\nOrion is also equipped with backup communication and navigation systems to help the spacecraft stay in contact with the ground and orient itself if primary systems fail. The backup navigation system, a relatively new technology called optical navigation, uses a camera to take pictures of the Earth, Moon, and stars and autonomously triangulate Orion\u2019s position from the photos.\n\nHazards of Life in Space\n\nKennedy Space Center chemical engineer Annie Meier adjusts the trash-to-gas reactor she is developing to recycle trash during deep space missions. Materials such as scraps, wrappers, packaging, and other garbage could be converted into methane gas, oxygen, and water. (NASA/Dan Casper)\n\nA human journey to Mars offers an inexhaustible amount of complexities. NASA\u2019s Human Research Program has determined five hazards of human spaceflight; however, these hazards do not stand alone. They can feed off one another and exacerbate! effects on the human body. Various research platforms including the International Space Station, as well as field tests in locations that have physical similarities to Mars, give NASA insight into how the human body and mind might respond during extended trips into space.\n\nThe Deployable Enclosed Martian Environment for Technology, Eating, and Recreation (DEMETER) from Dartmouth College \u2014 winner of the 2019 Breakthrough, Innovative and Game-changing (BIG) Idea Challenge \u2014 is a habitat-sized Mars greenhouse with the primary purpose of food production. An efficient and safe greenhouse design could not only assist with Mars missions but also long-term lunar missions.\n\n1. Radiation. Radiation is not only stealthy but is considered one of the most menacing of the five hazards. Above Earth\u2019s natural protection, radiation exposure increases cancer risk, damages the central nervous system, can alter cognitive function, reduce motor function, and cause behavioral changes. To learn what can happen above low-Earth orbit, NASA studies how radiation affects biological samples on the ISS, which lies just within Earth\u2019s protective magnetic field. Deep space vehicles will have significant protective shielding, dosimetry, and alerts. Research is also being conducted in the field of medical countermeasures such as pharmaceuticals to help defend against radiation.\n\n2. Isolation and Confinement. Behavioral issues among groups of people in a small space over a long period of time, no matter how well trained they are, are inevitable. Crews will be carefully chosen, trained, and supported to ensure they can work effectively as a team for months or years in space. The more confined and isolated humans are, the more likely they are to develop behavioral or cognitive conditions such as a decline in mood, cognition, morale, or interpersonal interaction; sleep disorders; depression; fatigue; and boredom. Research is being conducted in workload, light therapy for circadian alignment, phase shifting, and alertness.\n\n3. Distance from Earth. Mars is, on average, 140 million miles from Earth. Rather than a three-day lunar trip, astronauts would be leaving Earth for roughly three years. While ISS expeditions serve as a rough foundation for the expected impact on planning logistics for such a trip, the data isn\u2019t always comparable. If a medical event or emergency happens on the ISS, the crew can return home within hours. Additionally, cargo vehicles continually resupply the crews with fresh food, medical equipment, and other resources. Once you burn your engines for Mars, there is no turning back and no resupply. Facing a communication delay of up to 20 minutes one way and the possibility of equipment failures or a medical emergency, astronauts must be capable of confronting an array of situations without support from their team on Earth.\n\nNASA is developing the technologies to build a spacesuit for use on Mars. Engineers consider everything from traversing the Martian landscape to picking up rock samples. The Z-2 suit will help solve unique problems faced by the first humans to set foot on Mars. One of the challenges is that the red soil on Mars could affect the astronauts and systems inside a spacecraft if tracked in after a spacewalk. To counter this, new spacesuit designs feature a suitport on the back, so astronauts can quickly hop in from inside a spacecraft while the suit stays outside, keeping it clean indoors. (NASA/Bill Stafford)\n\n4. Gravity (or lack of it). There are three gravity fields astronauts will experience on a Mars mission: weightlessness be-ween planets, 1/3 of Earth\u2019s gravity on Mars, and normal gravity upon returning to Earth. When astronauts finally return home, they will need to readapt many of the systems in their bodies to Earth\u2019", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 201358, "pt_loc": 49730413, "pt_shuffle_idx": 159969771, "doc_index_f": 250761684, "doc_index_l": 250761684, "offset_f": 176, "offset_l": 2224, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 24, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": " for human rights in iran is in general. i don't know how much you know actually about it. in 1979 when the revolution succeeded we had hoped that promises freedom and he cannot we had hoped iran would become a demo\nbeen fairly quiet throughout the first term of the obama administration. now the president has been reelected, george w. bush sort of comes out a little bit to make this big address, why? what is the timing about, do you think? >> i think the timing was shrewd. he really made a point of staying quiet during the first couple of years of president obama's administration, saying that he wanted the about the to be able to do his job, he didn't think he needed a former president to go out there and do somed tore ra some editorializing. he gave some peaches, enjoyed his life. he was not the subject of any praeurbgsz in fact not the subject at all at the republican convention in tampa in august. as mitt romney was trying to win the presidentee again, george w. bush was really a recluse. i think now that the election is over the republicans lost. he wants to have a role in one of his causes. immigration is a passion he shares with his brother jeb, former governor of florida who is thinking of his own political future and possibly a white house run and wants to help in the reset of the repub\n's a map of the project which the obama administration says would drive a wedge in the palestinians west bank and cut off east jerusalem from the rest of the west bank. my question is will israel develop that chunk or are you using that as a bargaining chip to say to the palestinians, you make trouble for us in the u.n. and international bodies, this is what we may do. if you don't, maybe we won't. >> the map is misleading. you saw the yellow chunk. that's a suburb where 40,000 israelis live. it's less than two miles of baron desert road from that suburb to jerusalem. that's e1, the road. and we have to worry about a situation in the future where the suburb could be cut off from jerusalem. it doesn't cut off the west bank. you can get from ramallah to bethlehem in the south by going around e-1. if there's true peace between us and the palestinians the problem is solved by a cloverleaf or tunnel underneath the road that links them to jerusalem but it was a way the israel government set down a marker. the palestinians violated agreements with us and united states by going to the u.n. all a<|endoftext|>BLUE interface with regular NIC\n\nHi there guys!

Santa Claus is a legendary fictional character wearing a red coat adorned with collars and cuffs full of fur. Christians believe that Santa character originated from the famous Greek Bishop, Saint Nicholas. Some believe that Father Christmas originated from Sinterklaas, a Dutch figure, or Wodan, a German deity. Is Santa Claus real? Christmas stories and traditions say that Santa has a list of all the well-behaved kids and a naughty-kids list. During Christmas Eve, Santa Claus dashes through the snow in a reindeer- driven sled to deliver gifts to all the well-behaved kids. Even some children's behavior changes during the holiday season as they don't intend to get into the Naughty kids' list of Santa. But the fact is that not every child believes that anyone dressed in a Santa costume to be the real one.

She goes on to add that kind of critical thinking is necessary to finding a solution to the issue of global warming. Does Santa Exist? According to Christmas traditions, Santa Claus has a long history that dates back to the 3rd century. Saint Nicholas, a beloved Greek saint was a lovable character and fond of children. Everyone called him the \"Patron Saint of kids\" for his lovable nature and kindness. For many years between 1200-1500 B.C, Saint Nicholas was the bringer of gifts to children. Soon after the Protestant Reformation, when saints and priests got executed, and bibles were burnt, saints fell out of favor. How Santa Claus Came into Existence Shortly after the birth of Jesus, the job fell into the hands of baby Jesus to bring gifts to the children. But since the thought of a baby carrying loads of gifts was not a viable idea, the Santa Claus character was born. Another theory is that people living in the Netherlands always saw St. Nicholas as a person who brings gifts. When they moved to various parts of the world, they brought in St. Nicholas or Sinterklaas with them. When do Kids Stop Believing in Santa?

And therefore, a special space is distinguished between health and illness - pre-painful, or \"prenosological\" , conditions. Engy Health records the imperceptible transition from health to pathology and notifies you about it.\n\nYou take action on time and return to a state of health when the body itself is already successfully resisting diseases.\n\nWhat is homeostasis?\n\nThe ability of the body to maintain its own integrity and balance, to adapt to stress is homeostasis. This balance, though constant, is dynamic. And our regulatory systems interact continuously to keep the body in a state of health.\n\nWhat is adaptation?\n\nThe property of the body to adapt to changing circumstances. It is a state where the processes of relaxation and tension are in balance, when the body easily tenses to do work and easily relaxes for good rest in order to accumulate energy for subsequent tasks.\n\nWhat is a resource and\nfunctional reserves?\n\nIn a state of relative rest, a person practically does not need to spend energy. But as soon as a task appears, work begins. To solve it and maintain its balance, the body uses functional reserves. These include physiological, biochemical and psychological.\n\nPhysiological reserves are the ability of organs and organ systems to change their activity for the optimal functioning of the body at the moment. Biochemical reserves are the possibilities of accelerating or increasing the volume of biochemical processes. Mental reserves are the capabilities of the psyche: the ability to concentrate, increase motivation, withstand emotional stress, control behavior, etc. Simply put, functional reserves are the range of the body's capabilities, changes in the activity of its mechanisms in order to adapt to stress factors.\n\n02. State of the body\n\nThe disease does not arise from scratch. Studying the well-being of astronauts before and during flights, scientists noticed that between health and illness, a number of body conditions can be identified, which reflect the degree of readiness to adapt and use their functional reserves:\n\nPremorbid conditions\n\nAdaptation to external factors is unsatisfactory, and functionality is reduced. Homeostasis is preserved due to significant tension of regulatory systems or the inclusion of additional compensatory mechanisms.\n\nPre-nosological conditions\n\nTo maintain health, such conditions already require the mobilization of functional resources, that is, the tension of regulatory systems. The body's adaptive capabilities have not yet been reduced, but the ability to adapt to stress is reduced. Homeostasis is maintained only through additional tension.\n\n\nThis condition is characterized by a sharp decrease in the functional capabilities of the body. Homeostasis is impaired and pathological changes begin to develop at the systemic level. In other words, a person gets sick.\n\nThis classification of health conditions is the basis of the Baevsky diagram, a key element of the Engy Health application.\n\n\nIt is characterized by satisfactory adaptation of the organism to the environment. This means that you have enough functionality to overcome stress and overload. Homeostasis is maintained at a minimum voltage of regulatory systems.\n\nBaevsky diagram is a key element of Engy Health application\n03. Heart rate\n\nHow to measure health status and transition to borderline prenosological states? The answer was given by scientists: the heart. The heartbeat is the Morse code of the body. The heart is a unique organ with its own autonomous conducting system and the only one whose work we ourselves hear.\n\nThrough the work of the heart, you can assess the state of the whole organism. The analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) will help with this. HRV allows one to study the mechanisms of regulation through the ability of the heart to effectively accelerate or decelerate. At the same time, we receive invaluable information for a comprehensive health diagnosis.\n\n03.1 Levels of regulation\n\nHere is an interactive diagram of the interaction of external and automatic regulation loops. Hover over an item or arrow to learn more about it,\n\n04. Pulse and methods of its analysis\n04.1. Pulse\n\nPulse is the heart rate per minute. It shows the current level of functioning of the cardiovascular system. An increase in heart rate from 90 to 150-180 beats per minute in healthy people occurs during physical and emotional stress and is called sinus tachycardia.\n\nA decrease in the pulse rate to 59-40 with the correct sinus rhythm is called sinus bradycardia. Among healthy people, it is often seen in athletes. The mathematical analysis of the pulse makes it possible to translate biological processes into the language of numbers and mathematics. At the same time, within the framework of the scientific approach to the analysis of heart rate variability, the following methods are used:\n\n04.2. Statistical analysis of HRV\n\nBased on the measurement of RR-intervals (time between two consecutive heartbeats) and NN-intervals (intervals only between normal contractions, excluding interference and arrhythmias), their comparison and obtaining a quantitative assessment of variability. Engy Health uses statistical analysis to determine the Stress score\n\n\nstandard deviation of all NN intervals. It reflects all periodic components of variability during the recording, that is, it is the total HRV indicator.\n\n\nevaluation data comparing NN-intervals.\n\n\nthe ratio of NN slots that differ from each other by more than 50 ms, with a total of NN slots.\n\nFashion (Mo)\n\ncorresponds to the number of RR-intervals that occur most often, therefore, they allow to assess the real state of the patient's regulation systems.\n\nMode amplitude (\u0410\u041c\u043e)\n\nshows the proportion of those intervals that correspond to the value of the mode in the total number of intervals for a certain period of time. This parameter reflects the stabilizing effect of centralizing heart rate control.\n\nVariational span (VAR)\n\ncorresponds to the difference between the duration of the largest and smallest intervals.\n\n04.3. HRV spectral analysis\n\nAllows you to quantify the impact on the heart of various regulatory systems . According to the results of the application of the Fourier analysis, several components are distinguished that correspond to fluctuations in the heart rate of different frequency:\n\nThe HF component is associated with respiratory movements and reflects the influence of the vagus nerve on the heart, that is, the parasympathetic nervous system. Fluctuations in its activity give rise to changes in the heart rate with a frequency (0.150.4, Hz) and more, forming fast waves (HF - high frequency).\n\nThe LF component shows mainly the effect on the heart rate of the sympathetic nervous system and the oscillations caused by it (0.04 - 0.15, Hz), they are called slow waves (LF - low frequency).\n\nVLF-components belong to the slowest system of regulation, humoral-metabolic. It produces very low frequency (VLF) waves corresponding to frequencies less than 0.04 Hz.\n\nThis indicator reflects the action of various factors, which include, for example, vascular tone, thermoregulatory system, humoral tone and the influence of the central nervous system.\n\nFurther mathematical analysis of LF, HF and VLF waves allows you to build a spectrogram. The abscissa shows the frequency of the waves in Hertz, and the ordinate shows the power in milliseconds squared. It is also convenient to visualize the data of the influence of various regulatory systems through the pie chart of the spectral power of the ranges.\n\n04.4. Nonlinear dynamic methods\n\nEngy Health service uses a nonlinear dynamic method to determine the Load indicator (PARS)\n\n05. Engy Health indicators\nThe scientific basis of the Engy Health platform is based on the use of statistical, spectral and nonlinear dynamic analysis of HRV.\n\nThe technique was developed by the Institute of Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences to monitor the health of astronauts, and later received a worldwide vocation in sports and industrial medicine. Thanks to the mathematical methods of pulse analysis, you can measure the following indicators of your health:\n\n\u0422P (Total Power) = HF+LF+VLF the power of all vibrations together reflects the volume of work done by the heart to adjust the heart rate to the needs of the body per unit of time.\n05.1. Energy or Total Power\n\nEnergy (Total Power) reflects the readiness of the heart to flexibly change its rhythm, responding to situations that arise under the influence of signals from regulatory systems (parasympathetic system - relaxation, sympathetic system - tension and the centralized regulatory system - humoral system / CNS). The more optimal this indicator, the healthier and more vital you are. The further from it, the closer you are to the possibility of illness.\n\nPhysiological significance:\n\nEnergy or Total Power - the total power of the frequency spectrum of the cardiac intervalogram after the Fourier transform, it reflects the degree of impact on the heart rate of all levels of regulation.\n\nThe volume of work of the heart to adapt to external changes is calculated mathematically. Since this process is provided by 3 regulatory systems, respectively, three parts of the TR indicator are distinguished: HF, LF, VLF.\n\nHow is it considered\n\nTP is calculated by spectral analysis of R-R intervals using the formula:\n\nTotal Power Indicators\n\nInteractive Scale: hover over the segment to read the full value description\n\n\nThe vital energy is very small. The body's performance is low. You are in the borderline zone between health and the onset of illness.\n\n\nYou are on the verge of exhaustion, as after", "base_doc": " functional reserves are sufficient to maintain homeostasis , that is, the integrity of the body's systems.\n\nHealth components can be in different training states. And therefore, a special space is distinguished between health and illness - pre-painful, or \"prenosological\" , conditions. Engy Health records the imperceptible transition from health to pathology and notifies you about it.\n\nYou take action on time and return to a state of health when the body itself is already successfully resisting diseases.\n\nWhat is homeostasis?\n\nThe ability of the body to maintain its own integrity and balance, to adapt to stress is homeostasis. This balance, though constant, is dynamic. And our regulatory systems interact continuously to keep the body in a state of health.\n\nWhat is adaptation?\n\nThe property of the body to adapt to changing circumstances. It is a state where the processes of relaxation and tension are in balance, when the body easily tenses to do work and easily relaxes for good rest in order to accumulate energy for subsequent tasks.\n\nWhat is a resource and\nfunctional reserves?\n\nIn a state of relative rest, a person practically does not need to spend energy. But as soon as a task appears, work begins. To solve it and maintain its balance, the body uses functional reserves. These include physiological, biochemical and psychological.\n\nPhysiological reserves are the ability of organs and organ systems to change their activity for the optimal functioning of the body at the moment. Biochemical reserves are the possibilities of accelerating or increasing the volume of biochemical processes. Mental reserves are the capabilities of the psyche: the ability to concentrate, increase motivation, withstand emotional stress, control behavior, etc. Simply put, functional reserves are the range of the body's capabilities, changes in the activity of its mechanisms in order to adapt to stress factors.\n\n02. State of the body\n\nThe disease does not arise from scratch. Studying the well-being of astronauts before and during flights, scientists noticed that between health and illness, a number of body conditions can be identified, which reflect the degree of readiness to adapt and use their functional reserves:\n\nPremorbid conditions\n\nAdaptation to external factors is unsatisfactory, and functionality is reduced. Homeostasis is preserved due to significant tension of regulatory systems or the inclusion of additional compensatory mechanisms.\n\nPre-nosological conditions\n\nTo maintain health, such conditions already require the mobilization of functional resources, that is, the tension of regulatory systems. The body's adaptive capabilities have not yet been reduced, but the ability to adapt to stress is reduced. Homeostasis is maintained only through additional tension.\n\n\nThis condition is characterized by a sharp decrease in the functional capabilities of the body. Homeostasis is impaired and pathological changes begin to develop at the systemic level. In other words, a person gets sick.\n\nThis classification of health conditions is the basis of the Baevsky diagram, a key element of the Engy Health application.\n\n\nIt is characterized by satisfactory adaptation of the organism to the environment. This means that you have enough functionality to overcome stress and overload. Homeostasis is maintained at a minimum voltage of regulatory systems.\n\nBaevsky diagram is a key element of Engy Health application\n03. Heart rate\n\nHow to measure health status and transition to borderline prenosological states? The answer was given by scientists: the heart. The heartbeat is the Morse code of the body. The heart is a unique organ with its own autonomous conducting system and the only one whose work we ourselves hear.\n\nThrough the work of the heart, you can assess the state of the whole organism. The analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) will help with this. HRV allows one to study the mechanisms of regulation through the ability of the heart to effectively accelerate or decelerate. At the same time, we receive invaluable information for a comprehensive health diagnosis.\n\n03.1 Levels of regulation\n\nHere is an interactive diagram of the interaction of external and automatic regulation loops. Hover over an item or arrow to learn more about it,\n\n04. Pulse and methods of its analysis\n04.1. Pulse\n\nPulse is the heart rate per minute. It shows the current level of functioning of the cardiovascular system. An increase in heart rate from 90 to 150-180 beats per minute in healthy people occurs during physical and emotional stress and is called sinus tachycardia.\n\nA decrease in the pulse rate to 59-40 with the correct sinus rhythm is called sinus bradycardia. Among healthy people, it is often seen in athletes. The mathematical analysis of the pulse makes it possible to translate biological processes into the language of numbers and mathematics. At the same time, within the framework of the scientific approach to the analysis of heart rate variability, the following methods are used:\n\n04.2. Statistical analysis of HRV\n\nBased on the measurement of RR-intervals (time between two consecutive heartbeats) and NN-intervals (intervals only between normal contractions, excluding interference and arrhythmias), their comparison and obtaining a quantitative assessment of variability. Engy Health uses statistical analysis to determine the Stress score\n\n\nstandard deviation of all NN intervals. It reflects all periodic components of variability during the recording, that is, it is the total HRV indicator.\n\n\nevaluation data comparing NN-intervals.\n\n\nthe ratio of NN slots that differ from each other by more than 50 ms, with a total of NN slots.\n\nFashion (Mo)\n\ncorresponds to the number of RR-intervals that occur most often, therefore, they allow to assess the real state of the patient's regulation systems.\n\nMode amplitude (\u0410\u041c\u043e)\n\nshows the proportion of those intervals that correspond to the value of the mode in the total number of intervals for a certain period of time. This parameter reflects the stabilizing effect of centralizing heart rate control.\n\nVariational span (VAR)\n\ncorresponds to the difference between the duration of the largest and smallest intervals.\n\n04.3. HRV spectral analysis\n\nAllows you to quantify the impact on the heart of various regulatory systems . According to the results of the application of the Fourier analysis, several components are distinguished that correspond to fluctuations in the heart rate of different frequency:\n\nThe HF component is associated with respiratory movements and reflects the influence of the vagus nerve on the heart, that is, the parasympathetic nervous system. Fluctuations in its activity give rise to changes in the heart rate with a frequency (0.150.4, Hz) and more, forming fast waves (HF - high frequency).\n\nThe LF component shows mainly the effect on the heart rate of the sympathetic nervous system and the oscillations caused by it (0.04 - 0.15, Hz), they are called slow waves (LF - low frequency).\n\nVLF-components belong to the slowest system of regulation, humoral-metabolic. It produces very low frequency (VLF) waves corresponding to frequencies less than 0.04 Hz.\n\nThis indicator reflects the action of various factors, which include, for example, vascular tone, thermoregulatory system, humoral tone and the influence of the central nervous system.\n\nFurther mathematical analysis of LF, HF and VLF waves allows you to build a spectrogram. The abscissa shows the frequency of the waves in Hertz, and the ordinate shows the power in milliseconds squared. It is also convenient to visualize the data of the influence of various regulatory systems through the pie chart of the spectral power of the ranges.\n\n04.4. Nonlinear dynamic methods\n\nEngy Health service uses a nonlinear dynamic method to determine the Load indicator (PARS)\n\n05. Engy Health indicators\nThe scientific basis of the Engy Health platform is based on the use of statistical, spectral and nonlinear dynamic analysis of HRV.\n\nThe technique was developed by the Institute of Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences to monitor the health of astronauts, and later received a worldwide vocation in sports and industrial medicine.

Professional glass making, which originated during the Roman Empire, is a painstaking process where only true perfectional glass making, which originated during the Roman Empire, is a painstaking process where only true perfection is accepted, and the rejected pieces are broken up and recycled. All of Bruck Lighting glass artisans are highly experienced and gifted in the art of glass making. These artisans choose only top quality glass batches to start off their process. The glass is then meticulously mouth-blown in a series of furnaces ranging in temperature, as to create the perfect shape. No one in the world will have the same exact piece of glass, as each piece is hand-made. As the glass is being refined in the multi-furnace process, different colors of glass are added, making it a multi-colored cornucopia of depth and hue. Finally, fine craftsman tools are used to finalize the shape of the glass. The result is a superb conversation starter for any location. Since each piece is created entirely by hand, each glass is unique, baring slight differences from glass to glass. Like all fine art, each and every piece is exclusive and magnificent.

We don\u2019t have an old-school bureaucracy that runs the city, so we have lots of new ideas and fresh thinkers, and a spirit that is very unusual in cities. We\u2019ve got a lot of good things going on, when you think about the medical center and everything that\u2019s going on over there, you think about the heart of the city reinventing itself with downtown living. The light rail programs are interesting because they\u2019re creating nodes of livability that weren\u2019t there before. The fact\u00a0is that we are the most diverse city in the country and we get along. You haven\u2019t seen any major challenges with people getting along here in Houston, and I think that creates a lot of value long term for us to reinvent ourselves on an ongoing basis. I think with cities, just like companies and people, if you don\u2019t move forward, reinvent and adapt to the new reality, then you\u2019re moving back or you\u2019re staying static, and that\u2019s not what anyone wants to do. You don\u2019t grow doing that, and you don\u2019t thrive without adapting to the new environment. I think Houston is probably one of the most adaptable, interesting cities that I\u2019ve ever seen when it comes to its ability to change and reinvent itself.\n\n\nBack to top<|endoftext|>Tuesday, April 1, 2014\n\nTrek Options\n\nSo with our recent Trek deluge I have two boys interested in trying out a Trek RPG. This means I am back on the horns of the age-old dilemma:\n\n \u2022 What era? Original Action Flavor? Next Gen? Maybe go off-map and go pre-TOS or use Star Trek Online's background and go post-next-generation?\n \u2022 What system? The big 3 are FASA Trek, LUG Trek, and Decipher Trek, but there are other options too - GURPS and Savage Worlds come to mind, Traveller might work with some tweaks, and the microlite version, and maybe even Hero.\n \u2022 How big? Do a couple of one-shots and see how they like it, possibly trying a couple of different systems, or go full-campaign and create a new one or dust off the old notebook and go from there?\nI'm a big fan of not overdoing it and writing up a bunch of stuff that's just going to sit on a shelf for years - I'd rather just leave it in my head at that point.\u00a0\n\nI am also developing a \"trilogy\" approach to a new game: come up with 3 adventures - your own, some published ones, or a mix - that may or may not share a theme but at least plant some hooks that could be used for future adventures. Trek is pretty easy to run in an episodic format anyway so that makes it easier. Run all 3 and then see how the players feel about the whole thing.\n\nNow some made-up questions from the audience:\n\n\"But that would mean I would have to pick up several different sets of rules\" you might say. Look, if I only had one set of Trek rules, that's what I would be running. I have all of them (well, not that first thing from Heritage back in the 70's but everything since) so it's a different kind of problem. I can see good things about all of them.\u00a0\n\n\"Ask Them\" you might say - they're teenage boys with no prior experience with Trek RPG's. Since all three of the major Trek games use their own special rules systems, there are no mechanical preferences in place. So no, this is my call.\n\nThoughts at the moment:\n \u2022 I think WNMHGB is a little too Meta, too \"inside baseball\" to be fun for them. I think they need to play a straight-up Trek game before we go that satirical.\n \u2022 I don't really want to build it from scratch so Hero & GURPS are less likely\n \u2022 For TOS Trek I think it has to be FASA and I have a ton of stuff for it. Savage Worlds could work but I'd rather tap into the resources I already have.\n \u2022 For TNG I lean more towards LUG Trek, likely because that was the first book they did and it's stuck me as a system that fits with the Next Gen style. Plus I feel like I need to give that system a second chance.\n \u2022 If I went with the post next-gen STO timeline idea I might try Decipher's CODA Trek a spin. It does cover all the time periods and has a definite \"leveling up\" type advancement system so it would feel fairly familiar.\nI haven't decided anything yet and I am leaning towards running more than one just to give us all a sampling of what they can do. More to come.\n\n\nBarking Alien said...\n\nYou can probably guess my opinions on the subject but the one thing I will say is, don't use CODA.\n\nIf you've read it and like it than go ahead, to each their own. For me though, it's simply a slightly less elegant, more rigid and cumbersome, second string LUG Trek.\n\nIf you have LUG, play it. If you don't want to, play FASA. If you really want to go outside the box be my guest. Just don't go CODA.\n\nIt's like deciding that you're really in the mood for burgers for dinner, you fire up the grill, get all the best ingredients and than end up picking up dinner at McDonalds.\n\nBlacksteel said...\n\nOh I pretty much knew where you would point and I largely agree. I probably like CODA more than you do but then I haven't played it either.\n\nMiguel de Rojas said...\n\nI have been trying CODA in my very first Star Trek game and I can say it feels a bit bland and very unpolished. After four games, I am switching to d6. You can just take the classic Star Wars, modify the skill list (so you have a few extra science and engineering skills) and you are ready to go. Or you can go a little further, mixing and matching mechanics from d6 Space and other d6 games. Either way, it is a tested, easy to get game that perfectly suits the genre (and you can still use some CODA resources, since the difficulties are the same in both games).\n\nI hope that's of some help.\n\nDavid Brawley said...\n\nHave you considered Starships and Spacemen? It's definitely more Classic Trek in feel, with basic D&D rules.\n\nCODA was really slick looking, but a little clunky.

That's all well and good. But sometimes, I've got to have snacks. Disgusting, over-processed, diabetes-inducing snacks. And thanks to Peta's list of brand-name products that are \"accidentally vegan,\" now I know what my options are.\n\nBelow is my list of Top 10 junk foods that are, purely by accident, vegan-friendly.\n\n10) Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Puffs\nIf I can\u2019t have Reese\u2019s peanut butter cups, I\u2019ll settle for their slightly significantly less exciting younger cousin. In the realm of junk food parading as breakfast cereal - and it\u2019s a surprisingly vast realm - Reese\u2019s (Reese?) is the obese king.\n\n9) Smartie\u2019s\nAccording to my British friends, there is a UK version of Smartie\u2019s that is way more delicious than our version here in the US. Well, those aren\u2019t vegan. Sure, our Smartie\u2019s might not be all that delicious \u2013 they might even be the thanks-for-participating prize of choice at pretty much every elementary school spelling bee \u2013 but you know what they\u2019re great for? Gluing to a piece of graph paper in color-coordinated rows to learn about fractions.\n\n8) Ghirardelli Hot Chocolate (Double Chocolate)\nThe chocolate mocha and chocolate hazelnut versions are also accidentally vegan, but if I\u2019m fancy enough to drink Ghirardelli hot chocolate (and snobby enough to pronounce it with a hard \u201cg\u201d), I think I can handle the double chocolate, thank you.\n\n7) Big League Chew\nNever mind that the last time I actually purchased a Big League Chew, it was from the snack shack at my middle school baseball field and I was wearing tube socks and Adidas Sambas. Back then, I had no qualms about shoving fistful after fistful of those gooey pick shreds into my mouth, then tipping the bag back and pouring in the rest, so the resulting wad of gum was nearly impossible to manage between my jaws. It's good to know I can relive that experience any time I want.\n\n6) Wheat Thins\nWheat Thins are one of those snacks that you just barely convince yourself are healthy for you to eat an entire box of. They\u2019re basically crackers. They have the word \u201cwheat\u201d in the title! Come on.\n\n5) Fruit by the Foot\nIn the hierarchy of elementary school cafeteria snack trading, Fruit by the Foot is the bourgeoisie. You could trade up for a Fruit Roll-Up pretty easily (jokes on the wrapper, hello?!), but no way was I going to score a Fruit by the Foot in exchange for the low-fat cheese stick or apple my mom stuck me with.\n\n4) Kellogg\u2019s Unfrosted Poptarts\nA lot of people think the best part of poptarts is the frosting. I disagree. I think the best part of poptarts is the goopy, slightly grainy, artificially flavored \u201cfruit\u201d filling that sticks to the roof of your mouth like napalm. Lucky for me, I can have it in fake brown sugar, fake blueberry, or fake strawberry form.\n\n3) Nabisco Oreo Cookies\nWhen I was a kid (and had traded shrewdly that day in the school cafeteria, duping some poor sap into exchanging his Oreos for my chewy granola bar), I used to enjoy Oreo cookies in the most disgusting way imaginable. I would use my front teeth to scrape the cr\u00e8me filling off, and then \u2013 rather than just swallowing it \u2013 I would collect it from behind my teeth and use my fingers to roll it into a little ball. That ball would grow as I added the filling from three to four cookies, discarding the chocolate cookie part as I went. Then I would pop the huge, spitty cr\u00e8me ball into my mouth and suck on it until it dissolved. I can\u2019t wait to resume this enchanting little ritual as soon as I get my hands on some Oreos.\n\n2) Swedish Fish\nYes! Swedish Fish are the best.\n\n1) Sour Patch Kids\nI never understood this snack. Am I really nomming on kid-shaped candies? And what is a sour patch? Is it like a vegetable patch, but instead of vegetables, it grows\u2026 sour? Do the candy kids live in the sour patch? How did they get so delicious?\n\nThe world may never know. But at least I know what to snack on as I ponder these questions.\n\n\n 1. haha! I found this incredibly funny, especially the oreo cookie story. We all have 'special' stories like that from our childhood, props to you for sharing it!\n\n 2. Also, sour patch kids commercials are really pretty odd. It turns out Sour Patch Kids really are mean to you and then smile at you and are then \"nice.\" The overly simplified and unrealistic dichotomy there is disturbing!\n\n Also, I will never eat an oreo again without thinking of you. And am a little creeped out (but not REALLY surprised) that there's no real cream in their creme....\n\n 3. Wait... how often does napalm get stuck on the roof of your mouth? And if this is a routine occurance for you, shouldn't you be at the doctor's office right now instead of bloghing?\n\n 4. Haha! Napalm has (thankfully) never gotten stuck to the roof of my mouth. But, like napalm, the fake fruit filling in poptarts is sticky and burning.\n\n 5. wait. oreos are vegan? this is a revelation. i guess I assumed the creme was, well, cream. not sure if this a win or a loss for veganism.\n\n great list!\n\n 6. Because of a few different outreach events I did around Halloween, I learned that DOTS are vegan (and despite sticking to my teeth like there's no tomorrow, they're pretty good!).\n\n 7. Agree! Sometimes I just gotta have swedish fish!\n\n 8. That oreo cookie story is hilarious! I totally remember how you used to do that and you never even ate the cookies.\n\n 9.

In his view, the main thing is to support economic growth by fulfilling strategic tasks outlined on May 7, 2012. Also, the previous requirement to make the country's budget deficit-free by 2015 is no longer on the agenda. Experts believe it is nearly impossible.\n\nVladimir Putin talked about stimuli for business activity, attracting investments and ensuring a balanced", "base_doc": " for eating local, unprocessed foods as much as possible, blah, blah, blah. That's all well and good. But sometimes, I've got to have snacks. Disgusting, over-processed, diabetes-inducing snacks. And thanks to Peta's list of brand-name products that are \"accidentally vegan,\" now I know what my options are.\n\nBelow is my list of Top 10 junk foods that are, purely by accident, vegan-friendly.\n\n10) Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Puffs\nIf I can\u2019t have Reese\u2019s peanut butter cups, I\u2019ll settle for their slightly significantly less exciting younger cousin. In the realm of junk food parading as breakfast cereal - and it\u2019s a surprisingly vast realm - Reese\u2019s (Reese?) is the obese king.\n\n9) Smartie\u2019s\nAccording to my British friends, there is a UK version of Smartie\u2019s that is way more delicious than our version here in the US. Well, those aren\u2019t vegan. Sure, our Smartie\u2019s might not be all that delicious \u2013 they might even be the thanks-for-participating prize of choice at pretty much every elementary school spelling bee \u2013 but you know what they\u2019re great for? Gluing to a piece of graph paper in color-coordinated rows to learn about fractions.\n\n8) Ghirardelli Hot Chocolate (Double Chocolate)\nThe chocolate mocha and chocolate hazelnut versions are also accidentally vegan, but if I\u2019m fancy enough to drink Ghirardelli hot chocolate (and snobby enough to pronounce it with a hard \u201cg\u201d), I think I can handle the double chocolate, thank you.\n\n7) Big League Chew\nNever mind that the last time I actually purchased a Big League Chew, it was from the snack shack at my middle school baseball field and I was wearing tube socks and Adidas Sambas. Back then, I had no qualms about shoving fistful after fistful of those gooey pick shreds into my mouth, then tipping the bag back and pouring in the rest, so the resulting wad of gum was nearly impossible to manage between my jaws. It's good to know I can relive that experience any time I want.\n\n6) Wheat Thins\nWheat Thins are one of those snacks that you just barely convince yourself are healthy for you to eat an entire box of. They\u2019re basically crackers. They have the word \u201cwheat\u201d in the title! Come on.\n\n5) Fruit by the Foot\nIn the hierarchy of elementary school cafeteria snack trading, Fruit by the Foot is the bourgeoisie. You could trade up for a Fruit Roll-Up pretty easily (jokes on the wrapper, hello?!), but no way was I going to score a Fruit by the Foot in exchange for the low-fat cheese stick or apple my mom stuck me with.\n\n4) Kellogg\u2019s Unfrosted Poptarts\nA lot of people think the best part of poptarts is the frosting. I disagree. I think the best part of poptarts is the goopy, slightly grainy, artificially flavored \u201cfruit\u201d filling that sticks to the roof of your mouth like napalm. Lucky for me, I can have it in fake brown sugar, fake blueberry, or fake strawberry form.\n\n3) Nabisco Oreo Cookies\nWhen I was a kid (and had traded shrewdly that day in the school cafeteria, duping some poor sap into exchanging his Oreos for my chewy granola bar), I used to enjoy Oreo cookies in the most disgusting way imaginable. I would use my front teeth to scrape the cr\u00e8me filling off, and then \u2013 rather than just swallowing it \u2013 I would collect it from behind my teeth and use my fingers to roll it into a little ball. That ball would grow as I added the filling from three to four cookies, discarding the chocolate cookie part as I went. Then I would pop the huge, spitty cr\u00e8me ball into my mouth and suck on it until it dissolved. I can\u2019t wait to resume this enchanting little ritual as soon as I get my hands on some Oreos.\n\n2) Swedish Fish\nYes! Swedish Fish are the best.\n\n1) Sour Patch Kids\nI never understood this snack. Am I really nomming on kid-shaped candies? And what is a sour patch? Is it like a vegetable patch, but instead of vegetables, it grows\u2026 sour? Do the candy kids live in the sour patch? How did they get so delicious?\n\nThe world may never know. But at least I know what to snack on as I ponder these questions.\n\n\n 1. haha! I found this incredibly funny, especially the oreo cookie story. We all have 'special' stories like that from our childhood, props to you for sharing it!\n\n 2. Also, sour patch kids commercials are really pretty odd. It turns out Sour Patch Kids really are mean to you and then smile at you and are then \"nice.\" The overly simplified and unrealistic dichotomy there is disturbing!\n\n Also, I will never eat an oreo again without thinking of you. And am a little creeped out (but not REALLY surprised) that there's no real cream in their creme....\n\n 3. Wait... how often does napalm get stuck on the roof of your mouth? And if this is a routine occurance for you, shouldn't you be at the doctor's office right now instead of bloghing?\n\n 4. Haha! Napalm has (thankfully) never gotten stuck to the roof of my mouth. But, like napalm, the fake fruit filling in poptarts is sticky and burning.\n\n 5. wait. oreos are vegan? this is a revelation. i guess I assumed the creme was, well, cream. not sure if this a win or a loss for veganism.\n\n great list!\n\n 6. Because of a few different outreach events I did around Halloween, I learned that DOTS are vegan (and despite sticking to my teeth like there's no tomorrow, they're pretty good!).\n\n 7. Agree! Sometimes I just gotta have swedish fish!\n\n 8. That oreo cookie story is hilarious! I totally remember how you used to do that and you never even ate the cookies.\n\n 9. I've seen you eat oreos like that!.... recently.\n\n 10. Wait, #s 1 & 2 don't have gelatin? Why don't more chewy snacks lack gelatin? Score one for the kosher crowd too.\n\n And could I really comment on your blog using a LiveJournal?!

Matte makeup often tends to look very heavy but the key to \"Airy Matte Skin\" is a sheer, even application to create a natural, healthy look.\n\nStep 1: Dab small amounts of the makeup base on the forehead, cheeks and chin. Using the length of two fingers, even the base out starting from the centre of the face and moving outwards and also in an upward motion from the jawline.\n\nStep 2: The area around the eyes is prone to oxidisation and it is also an area where many people forget to apply foundation. Using the fingertips, apply the makeup base in a light tapping motion.\n\nStep 3: Using your third and ring fingers, apply liquid foundation from the centre of the face towards the outer edge and also from the bottom upwards.\n\nStep 4: Use a sponge in a rolling motion across the face to lift off excess foundation/oil.\n\nStep 5: Use a brush to apply concealer in a triangular area under the eyes from the inner corner to the outer corner.\n\nStep 6: Use your finger to smoothen out the concealer in a light pressing motion for an even finish.\n\nStep 7: Use your finger to apply a light layer of concealer on the upper eyelids.\n\nStep 8: Use a brush to apply an illuminating concealer at the inner corners of the eyes and then use your finger to even out the application.\n\nStep 9: Use your finger to apply a light layer of illuminator along the T-zone from between the eyebrows to vertically down the centre of the nose. This helps to create more contrast between the various areas of the face so that the face does not look so flat.\n\nControl Color\nStep 10: Apply an apricot-toned concealer at the outer and inner edges of the eyes as these are prone to oxidisation.\n\nStep 11: Before applying loose powder, press the two sides of the powder puff together until the powder can hardly be seen. This helps to ensure an even application.\n\nStep 12: Apply the loose powder using the powder puff in a gentle large rolling motion from the centre of the face outwards. Do not apply in a direct patting motion.\n\nStep 13: As the eye area is prone to creasing, apply the loose powder on the eyelids using the powder puff in a gentle pressing motion.\n\nStep 14: Apply a sheer blush on the apples of the cheeks until the area just in front of the ears using a large blush brush\n\nStep 15: Applying a light highlighter powder under the eyes using a small powder brush.\n\nFurther tips: To ensure an even, sheer application of foundation, do not just use one fingertip. Instead, use the length of your second and third fingers. To prevent creasing of foundation under the eyes, apply a light layer of powder using a powder puff folded in half in a gentle pressing motion.\n\n\nAnonymous said...\n\nThanks for taking the time to translate this into English!

I live in Japan and think it's awesome how they have magazines that actually teach you how to apply make up, not just tell you which one you should buy.

These sites generate leads that are stored in a CRM and/or a marketing automation tool, which often applies a lead score to the individual. The sales team uses lead scoring in many ways, including determining how aggressively to pursue a specific opportunity, while marketing folks use lead scoring to defend the value of their efforts.\n\nHold that thought on marketing and lead scoring\u2026\n\nIf you haven't yet heard, this year Google Analytics started to offer beta access to Universal Analytics. With Universal Analytics there are many notable improvements over the existing Google Analytics features. But one area that marketers should be very excited about is the 20 custom dimensions and 20 custom metrics. These new slots for the storage of persistent custom data give marketers an enhanced ability to create a visitor scoring (a.k.a. lead scoring) platform within their web analytics data.\n\nWith a healthy bit of skepticism, you may ask \"What's revolutionary about that?\"\n\nMarketing-run sites in the B2B arena are typically focused on two key areas: 1) acquire as much quality traffic as possible; and 2) convert as many visitors to leads as possible. These two areas of focus are typically the primary motivators for marketers as they make updates to the digital channel. Have you ever seen sites that ask you to fill out a lead form before you've learned anything about the product or the organization? This is because marketing is focused on getting you to the site and turning you into a lead - and that's it. By the way, if you did what they wanted and filled out the lead form immediately, sales wouldn't want to talk with you anyways - because you don't know what the benefit of their product offering is (you would have a low lead score). Because of this, most sales teams actually only want to talk with less than 10 percent of the leads generated by the site. The majority of sales teams would rather have 10 solid leads (e.g., visitors who came to the site multiple times and visited multiple pages, watched videos, read case studies, etc.) than 100 mediocre leads (e.g., visitors who came to the site and filled out a lead form on the first page on their first visit).\n\nIn B2B marketing, prospects often visit the site multiple times (sometimes from multiple devices) before they ever fill out a lead form. According to Google, business buyers typically do 57 percent of their buying research before they even fill out a lead form or call an organization. What are they doing before the point of contact? They're looking at your website again and again.\n\nA marketing team should judge the success of the digital channel on its ability to create high-scoring visitors.\n\nUsing the custom dimensions in Universal Analytics, we can start to create an internal scoring system more intricate than Google Analytics would allow us with custom variables. From there, marketing's primary goal could be to create as large an audience of visitors who are engaged in the digital channel and aware of the products, product benefits, and the organization. If marketing can become expert on making the majority of the visitors knowledgeable about the superiority of the organization's products and services, then sales may want to talk with a higher percentage of the site visitors.\n\nBelow is an example of a scoring system for an organization that typically sees multiple visitors looking at the site across multiple visits before buying decisions are made (e.g., Cisco, Micron, Caterpillar, McKesson, IBM, Dow, Boeing, AIG, etc.) using custom dimensions and custom metrics.\n\n \u2022 Product views/multiple product views. The simplest and possibly the most important action is getting visitors to view one or more of the product pages and multiple products. (Two points for each product page viewed and three points if they view a product page repeatedly over multiple visits.)\n \u2022 Product drill-downs. Interested visitors should view as much product information as possible. Ideally they are clicking into detailed information such as features, specifications, comparisons, and support material. (Four points for each auxiliary product page view.)\n \u2022 Downloads. White papers, research docs, best practice guides, case studies, and third-party product reviews encapsulated in a pretty PDF are the catnip of marketers looking to generate leads. Video views can be lumped into this group. (One point for the first download, two points for each subsequent download, and three points for any repeat downloads.)\n \u2022 Non-branded search phrases. This is a huge area that marketers often ignore. If visitors get to your site by using a search phrase describing a", "base_doc": " absurd for parents to give equal consideration to their children and others' children. But if morality is employed in the sense of being altruistic, or at least universalistic, then political realists would rightly admit that attempting to be moral will be detrimental to the national interest or for the world as a whole, and therefore morality ought to be ignored.

Do not apply in a direct patting motion.\n\nStep 13: As the eye area is prone to creasing, apply the loose powder on the eyelids using the powder puff in a gentle pressing motion.\n\nStep 14: Apply a sheer blush on the apples of the cheeks until the area just in front of the ears using a large blush brush\n\nStep 15: Applying a light highlighter powder under the eyes using a small powder brush.\n\nFurther tips: To ensure an even, sheer application of foundation, do not just use one fingertip. Instead, use the length of your second and third fingers. To prevent creasing of foundation under the eyes, apply a light layer of powder using a powder puff folded in half in a gentle pressing motion.\n\n\nAnonymous said...\n\nThanks for taking the time to translate this into English!

I live in Japan and think it's awesome how they have magazines that actually teach you how to apply make up, not just tell you which one you should buy.

These sites generate leads that are stored in a CRM and/or a marketing automation tool, which often applies a lead score to the individual. The sales team uses lead scoring in many ways, including determining how aggressively to pursue a specific opportunity, while marketing folks use lead scoring to defend the value of their efforts.\n\nHold that thought on marketing and lead scoring\u2026\n\nIf you haven't yet heard, this year Google Analytics started to offer beta access to Universal Analytics. With Universal Analytics there are many notable improvements over the existing Google Analytics features. But one area that marketers should be very excited about is the 20 custom dimensions and 20 custom metrics. These new slots for the storage of persistent custom data give marketers an enhanced ability to create a visitor scoring (a.k.a. lead scoring) platform within their web analytics data.\n\nWith a healthy bit of skepticism, you may ask \"What's revolutionary about that?\"\n\nMarketing-run sites in the B2B arena are typically focused on two key areas: 1) acquire as much quality traffic as possible; and 2) convert as many visitors to leads as possible. These two areas of focus are typically the primary motivators for marketers as they make updates to the digital channel. Have you ever seen sites that ask you to fill out a lead form before you've learned anything about the product or the organization? This is because marketing is focused on getting you to the site and turning you into a lead - and that's it. By the way, if you did what they wanted and filled out the lead form immediately, sales wouldn't want to talk with you anyways - because you don't know what the benefit of their product offering is (you would have a low lead score). Because of this, most sales teams actually only want to talk with less than 10 percent of the leads generated by the site. The majority of sales teams would rather have 10 solid leads (e.g., visitors who came to the site multiple times and visited multiple pages, watched videos, read case studies, etc.) than 100 mediocre leads (e.g., visitors who came to the site and filled out a lead form on the first page on their first visit).\n\nIn B2B marketing, prospects often visit the site multiple times (sometimes from multiple devices) before they ever fill out a lead form. According to Google, business buyers typically do 57 percent of their buying research before they even fill out a lead form or call an organization. What are they doing before the point of contact? They're looking at your website again and again.\n\nA marketing team should judge the success of the digital channel on its ability to create high-scoring visitors.\n\nUsing the custom dimensions in Universal Analytics, we can start to create an internal scoring system more intricate than Google Analytics would allow us with custom variables. From there, marketing's primary goal could be to create as large an audience of visitors who are engaged in the digital channel and aware of the products, product benefits, and the organization. If marketing can become expert on making the majority of the visitors knowledgeable about the superiority of the organization's products and services, then sales may want to talk with a higher percentage of the site visitors.\n\nBelow is an example of a scoring system for an organization that typically sees multiple visitors looking at the site across multiple visits before buying decisions are made (e.g., Cisco, Micron, Caterpillar, McKesson, IBM, Dow, Boeing, AIG, etc.) using custom dimensions and custom metrics.\n\n \u2022 Product views/multiple product views. The simplest and possibly the most important action is getting visitors to view one or more of the product pages and multiple products. (Two points for each product page viewed and three points if they view a product page repeatedly over multiple visits.)\n \u2022 Product drill-downs. Interested visitors should view as much product information as possible. Ideally they are clicking into detailed information such as features, specifications, comparisons, and support material. (Four points for each auxiliary product page view.)\n \u2022 Downloads. White papers, research docs, best practice guides, case studies, and third-party product reviews encapsulated in a pretty PDF are the catnip of marketers looking to generate leads. Video views can be lumped into this group. (One point for the first download, two points for each subsequent download, and three points for any repeat downloads.)\n \u2022 Non-branded search phrases. This is a huge area that marketers often ignore. If visitors get to your site by using a search phrase describing a general product need (e.g., warehouse sensors", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 217718, "pt_loc": 137429858, "pt_shuffle_idx": 24573506, "doc_index_f": 38520763, "doc_index_l": 38520766, "offset_f": 2239, "offset_l": 1008, "pt_injection_pos": 3, "pt_window_offset": 30, "pt_injection_len": 40, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [128, 142, 770, 1009]} +{"pt_doc": " Requesting pre-litigation mediation when not required by the contract can be perceived as weakness by the requesting party.\u00a0 While this perception is illogical, ill-informed parties may not be willing to take the risk of being perceived as weak.\u00a0 However, including the mediation provision in the underlying contract takes away this perception.\u00a0 Also, requesting the pre-litigation mediation required by the contract has the opposite impact.\u00a0 Instead of the request being perceived as weakness, the request is a showing that your client is getting prepared to move forward with litigation.\n\n\n\nThe Value of a Pre-Litigation Mediation Provision\n\nConsider the practical applications of a pre-litigation mediation provision in the context of the governing documents of a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation.\u00a0 Litigation between business partners often results in the destruction of the business, and losses for all parties.\u00a0 If the governing documents contained a pre-litigation mediation provision, the parties would be forced to consider opportunities to resolve the dispute before the business is irreparably harmed by the battles of litigation and before the matter becomes public.\u00a0 This concept is no less applicable to distribution agreements, independent contractor agreements, service agreements, etc.\u00a0 All types of business relationships can benefit from having an opportunity to circumvent a problem before it gets out of hand.\n\n\nWhen inserting a mediation provision into a contract, be mindful of completeness and mechanics.\u00a0 Simply stating that the parties agree to mediate before litigating, alone, is not a best practice.\u00a0 As is the case with all contractual terms, it is better to be more specific as to what is being agreed to by the parties.\u00a0 Consider including language addressing how a mediation demand is to be made, how a mediator will be selected, and whether the parties will provide pre-mediation position statements to the mediator.\u00a0 It is ordinarily easier to agree on these concepts while the parties are forming the contractual relationship, as opposed to once a dispute has surfaced.\u00a0 Also, consider whether arbitration is a better alternative for the dispute in the event mediation is not successful.\n\n\nWhen negotiating and preparing your next business contract, consider inserting a pre-litigation mediation requirement so that your client\u2019s interests can be best served.\u00a0 After all, clients are not ordinarily averse to the idea of saving time, money, and business relationships.\n\n\n\nMatt Thiry, Esq. is a registered mediator and arbitrator with significant commercial litigation experience.

As used in a phrase like \u201ca mondo party\u201d or the old magazine title Mondo 2000, it has connotations of bigness and hipness and weirdness. It gets used precisely because of its imprecise implication of coolness. Brandish it with a swagger and nobody will challenge you, being thereby intimidated by the Louis Armstrong principle: \u201cMan, if you have to ask what it is, you\u2019ll never know.\u201d Of course, the word mondo is Italian for world, but how far does that get you? Why does the Italian word for world mean big and weird in English? The answer comes from the wildly successful 1962 mondo movie, Mondo Cane, or A Dog\u2019s World, sometimes called the very first shockumentary. Old hat now, but wildly outrageous at the time. Here\u2019s a good NY Times article about it:\nDispatches From a World Gone Wonderfully Wrong.\n\nPop culture words implying coolness are famously difficult to pin down. My favorite is funky.

Linguist Geneva Smitherman has tried to capture the meaning of this word in Talkin and Testifyin: The Language of Black America, where she explains that funky means \u201c[related to] the blue notes or blue mood created in jazz, blues, and soul music generally, down-to-earth soulfully expressed sounds; by extension [related to] the real nitty-gritty or fundamental essence of life, soul to the max.\u201d The first recorded use of funky is in 1784 in a reference to musty, old, moldy cheese.

There are also random nodes (which include the source), \"A\" nodes, and \"B\" nodes. At the start of the game, for each \"A\" or \"B\" node, the corresponding player chooses one of the edges leading away from it, without seeing the other player's choices.\n\nA token is then placed on the start node.

You love your in the right place. Let's get started today. I want to talk about\n\nMelissa Anzman (01:16): Something that has really caught fire over the last few years. And it's one of those things that as I speak around HR conferences are now 11 are around at HR conferences or even those questions that I get through social media. In my inbox, everyone has like an urge, a want, a desire, I should say, to understand how to become a people first culture. Now people first is one of those things that sort of spread through the HR community like wild fire beginning about five or 10 years ago. I can't quite put my finger on when it first started, but I do remember thinking that there was a lot of people first thought in all of these new mission statements and culture statements and values and all those things and at its core, I totally understand why, but I'm a little uncertain how this became part of the vernacular.\n\nMelissa Anzman (02:19): Particularly when most companies aren't actually people first companies. So I want to explore a little bit more about how to become and truly people, first company, and also a little note about most companies who aren't people first, because there's a little bit of shame or embarrassment or be re astrogen putting your head in the sand about it that I don't want you to experience, but that is going to be a little later on. Let's start with what being people first actually means. So you've probably heard some culture statements or values or whatever that say things like we put our people first, or we care about our employees or we're committed to a good company culture. Now with that commitment came the now infamous and really, really unhelpful in so many ways idea of employee engagement and surveys and all the things, because we are trying to measure what our employees think and feel about our company culture based off of off the shelf questions and standards.\n\nMelissa Anzman (03:22): And, you know, I can talk all about employee engagement surveys. In fact, in episode 24 of the rethink HR podcast, I go into that deep of how they can work for you and why most don't. But I digress because with the employee engagement survey phenomenon thing, whenever that came into the scene, I don't know, 2015, 20 years ago, we also started building in people first because there were a lot of questions in those surveys that made us think about our own culture and about how much we really are, or aren't putting our employees, our people first at the center of what it is that we do. And the thing is, is there's been definite meaningful shifts toward creating better work environments, a hundred percent. There's definitely a focus that your employees are important. Having them be at work. Um, the whole idea of happiness at work don't get me started.\n\nMelissa Anzman (04:23): All of that has definitely happened. And the work environment is better than it was 20 years ago when this started for sure. And we've also worked on retaining employees. We've even thought of it as a thing, since this came on the scene and we do this so many ways that help our employees, things like providing them different benefits, perks, freedoms, all the things. And we even changed our department's name from personnel to human resources to help us become more human, which again, I get totally rant about. So I won't, but the point here is as we started being more cognizant about our employees, as people, as humans, and that has led us down the path of wanting to become more people, centric cultures in general, but a lot of companies really stalled out because the thing is, is they have realized that perhaps the investment in people first doesn't match the actual goals of the company or the stakeholder goals or bottom line, all those things, the ROI we talk about, and also the money that we put in for things like employee engagement surveys, um, maybe total rewards packages that they just aren't moving the needle any further.\n\nMelissa Anzman (05:41): They're not having enough of a bang for buck type of conversation to get us to the hump of it being something we actually focused on.

It starts with deciding what people-first means, if your company actually aligns with being people-first (and what to do if it doesn\u2019t), and how to build into your HR world, employee first thinking and actions.\n\nNot all companies are meant to be people-first cultures. Even though that\u2019s the \u201ccool\u201d thing, and it\u2019s the type of company most of us want to work at, because hello \u2013 we\u2019re all people first, but being honest about the type of company you work at is incredibly important in order to create a real culture. And you don\u2019t need to consider \u201cculture\u201d at the company-level only. Consider how you can add more people-first thinking, actions, and communication methods within the department you reside or the group you support.\n\nBonus tip inside the episode: you already have invested a lot in people-first activities like total rewards, and you may simply be missing the opportunity of communicating it well.\n\nListen in to learn more!\n\nIn This Episode\n\n \u2022 Why most large companies aren\u2019t actually people-first, even though they want to be (or say they are).\n \u2022 It\u2019s ok to do great work at a company that doesn\u2019t have a people-first culture.\n \u2022 You can create a people-first micro-culture within your own department by implementing these tips.\n \u2022 Your employee experience is the best way to ensure you create the culture you want.\n\n\nCreating a people-first culture doesn't just have to be at the company-level. You can implement these #employeeexperience actions within your own department #HR Click To Tweet\n\nMelissa Anzman (00:00): What does people first mean for you for your company, for your employees? How are we treating them? How are we communicating with them? What benefits are we offering? What support do we have? All those things. I'm Melissa Anzman.\n\nMelissa Anzman (00:13): An HR practitioner turned CEO of a thriving employee experience company, but it wasn't all that long ago that I worked as an HR business partner, responsible for increasing employee engagement at companies nationwide. And I struggled to move the needle, even after trying everything under the sun, fast forward, past many fail tactics and lessons learned. And you'll see how I've been able to crack the code and replicated at companies of all sizes for creating true engagement and doing HR work that matters work that changes the lives of leaders, HR professionals, and employees. By focusing on the employee experience, I created the rethink HR podcast to give you actionable step by step strategies to help you make an impact.

It was only one article in a comprehensive \u2018code\u2019 designed to state in an orderly, rational way, the complete body of criminal law. Continental European law is characterized by codes, while judge-made British \u2018common law\u2019 is found in innumerable court rulings, supplemented by specific statutes. A move to codes would have been a major change in Britain.\n\nCriminal law reform and the drafting of criminal codes took place for Britain and for India in the same period. This was a parallel process (though the results were different). The Indian Penal Code was not a British code exported to India. But it was British law exported to India.\n\n\nThe 19th century was a period of major criminal law reform in the United Kingdom. British criminal law was a mess, in need of major reform and rationalization. Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill and the Utilitarians had strong ideas on law reform and codification:\n\nBentham and Mill envisioned a series of codes on every area of the law; so instead of relying on caselaw and independent digests, the entire corpus of legal knowledge would be written down in one source, in a concise, easy to read form. Moreover, codification would end the corruptive monopoly enjoyed by the legal profession. The common man would no longer have to depend on profit-hungry lawyers and magistrates to protect his rights. This cure-all approach [was] typical of the Utilitarians\u2026(Ref. 19)\n\nMacaulay favoured many Benthamite principles of procedure as well: oral pleadings, jurisdiction of courts based on issue not pecuniary amounts, appeals on questions of law only, and no new evidence admissible on appeal.(Ref. 20)\n\nThese reforms may sound obvious. But in terms of 19th century British law, they were revolutionary.\n\nJeremy Bentham launched the 19th century codification movement in the English speaking world.(Ref. 21) The codes followed Bentham\u2019s ideas on form and procedure. Bentham would have been no supporter of Article 337 or its kin. In 1785 Bentham wrote an essay titled Offences Against One\u2019s Self in which he argued that there was no justification for the criminalization of same sex acts. He was unwilling to make public his opinions on the matter and the essay remained unpublished for almost 200 years, emerging finally in 1978.(Ref. 22) It stands as one of the earliest written defenses of homosexuality in English. Only recently has an earlier defense been located, Thomas Cannon\u2019s text of 1749.(Ref. 23)\n\nHow did criminal law reform proceed in Britain and India? As the 19th century progressed, at least five draft criminal codes were completed. Why so many? We see the dynamic impact of Bentham and the Utilitarians on 19th century legal thinking.\n\nWhat reform is needed? We need a code! How to make your mark? Draft a code!\n\nBentham, himself, wrote to governments in the United States and Europe seeking commissions to draft codes. He was spurned. Others were honored. Two royal commissions were established to propose criminal law reform in Britain.\n\nThe first Royal Commission sat from 1832 to 1845, and published eight reports. The second Royal Commission was convened in 1845 and during its five-year tenure published five reports. Both Commissions completed a criminal code, in 1843 and 1848, respectively.(Ref. 24)\n\nParliament approved the Indian Penal Code in 1860, drafted by Thomas Babington Macauley and the Indian Law Commisssion. When it came into force in 1862 it was the first criminal code in force in the British Empire. In the early 1870s the British Colonial Office asked R. S. Wright, a barrister, later a judge, to draft a criminal code for Jamaica that could serve as a model for all the colonies.\n\nIn the late 1870s the Lord Chancellor\u2019s Office asked James Fitzjames Stephen to prepare a code. It was introduced into Parliament in a Ministerial Bill in 1878. A revised bill was introduced in parliament in 1879 and 1880. It was never enacted. Stephen\u2019s draft was very influential overseas. It was adopted in Canada. It formed a basis for the Queensland code of 1899, which was influential in Africa.\n\nIn 1887, William Gladstone, the greatest statesman of 19th century Britain, wrote that one of the leading achievements of previous decades had been the fact that \u201cthe disgusting criminal code\u201d had been cast aside.(Ref.25) Of course, it had not been a code. And it was not replaced by a code (that is a systematic statute). Reform took place piecemeal, by a number of statutes. To this day British criminal law is uncodified.\n\n\n\u2026India was the \u2018brightest jewel in the imperial crown\u2019 and the core of British global strategic thinking precisely because of her very real importance to the British economy. This was never greater than at this time [1875-1914], when anything up to 60 per cent of British cotton exports went to Indian and the Far East, to which India was the key \u2013 40-45 per cent went to India alone \u2013 and when the international balance of payments of Britain hinged on the payments surplus which India provided.(Ref. 26)\n\nWhile the East India Company had been active in India for many years, formal governmental power dates to 1764 when the Company gained rights of governance over Bengal, Bihar and Orissa. In 1803 the Mughul emperor accepted British \u201cprotection.\u201d British India had gradually come into being, along with suzerain rights over the many Princely States that retained some autonomy.\n\nBritain was now in the position to undertake law reform for India. Following the pattern newly established for domestic law reform at home, Parliament established an Indian Law Commission in 1833. Thomas Babington Macaulay was appointed to chair the Commission.\n\nMacaulay was the son of Zachary Macauley, a British Colonial governor and abolitionist. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge. He became a Member of Parliament in 1830. He traveled to India in 1834. Due to the illness of other commissioners, the draft Indian Penal Code of 1837 was largely his work. Macaulay\u2019s draft was not immediately accepted. Twenty-three years passed, during which his work was reviewed and assessed by the Commission and the Supreme Court judges in Bombay, Calcutta, and Madras.\n\nThe Indian Mutiny broke out in 1857, a serious challenge to British power. One basic message of the Mutiny was the risk Britain faced if it challenged local religions and customs. Britain had allowed Christian missionaries to work in India, and this was resented. In 1858, after the Mutiny, Queen Victoria issued a proclamation that explicitly renounced \u201cthe right and the desire to impose Our convictions on any of Our subjects\u201d. The East India Company was wound up and India began to be ruled by the Crown, represented by a Viceroy.\n\nIn 1860 the Indian Penal Code was enacted, coming into force in 1862. But, in spite of coming after the Indian Mutiny, it was not a document that reflected Indian laws and customs. It had many of the features of the 1843 British Royal Commission\u2019s draft code.\n\nWithout a doubt, the structures and organization of the Indian and English codes was virtually identical. Criminal offences are divided into chapters according to classes, such as offences against the state, offences against public justice, and offences against the public tranquility. Each offence, along with related lesser offences, was defined, followed by the appropriate punishments and exceptions.\n\n\u2026 In fact, the Indian and English codes differed in structure and organization in only one significant way; the English codes did not include Illustrations. Illustrations were hypothetical fact situations that showed how a particular section operated. The Royal Commission attached notes to their draft codes, and hypotheticals were naturally used in the notes to clarify certain points, but the Royal Commission never seriously contemplated including Illustrations in the actual code. \u2026 Illustrations in a criminal code made sense only for India, at that time. India did not have a formal body of caselaw, so hypothetical factual situations served the same function as English common law.(Ref. 27)\n\nMacaulay said that the substance of his code was wholly original. Despite Macaulay\u2019s professions to the contrary, his contemporaries did not consider his Code a revolutionary departure from English law. Macaulay\u2019s code was submitted to Supreme court judges in Bombay, Calcutta and Madras. Their comments were forwarded to Charles Hay Cameron and Daniel Elliot, Indian Law Commissioners, who issued two exhaustive reports in 1847 and 1848. In the 1848 report, the two Commissioners compared the 1837 Indian Code to the Royal Commission\u2019s 1843 Code, with the intention of amending the former whenever it differed from the latter; however, no unacceptable differences were found and the 1837 Indian Code\u2019s implementation was recommended with relatively few amendments. Reacting to Macaulay\u2019s claim that his Code was not based on any existing legal system Hay and Cameron reported that with certain tolerable exceptions, the Indian Code departed very little from substantial principles of English law. Macaulay\u2019s claims of originality were rejected out of hand: \u201cThe novelty \u2026 is more imaginary than real, and is to be found more in form than in substance.\u201d(Ref. 28)\n\nWithin two decades most of India\u2019s law was codified, both criminal and civil. In contrast Britain enacted a series of criminal reform statutes, but no", "base_doc": " of Western imperial expansion, the new ideas spread beyond the West, though their impact abroad was not the same as at home.(Ref. 18)\n\n377 spread, but not on its own.

In the 1848 report, the two Commissioners compared the 1837 Indian Code to the Royal Commission\u2019s 1843 Code, with the intention of amending the former whenever it differed from the latter; however, no unacceptable differences were found and the 1837 Indian Code\u2019s implementation was recommended with relatively few amendments. Reacting to Macaulay\u2019s claim that his Code was not based on any existing legal system Hay and Cameron reported that with certain tolerable exceptions, the Indian Code departed very little from substantial principles of English law. Macaulay\u2019s claims of originality were rejected out of hand: \u201cThe novelty \u2026 is more imaginary than real, and is to be found more in form than in substance.\u201d(Ref. 28)\n\nWithin two decades most of India\u2019s law was codified, both criminal and civil.

Over the next five years solar activity will increase to a peak sometime in 2013.\n\nWhat is the variation in solar activity? The sun's variation in activity is only about 0.1% from its quietest to its most active. But a paper (Meehl et al., Science 325, 1114 (2009)) in the most recent edition of Science presents a model for explaining some of the more subtle effects of even these tiny changes in solar activity on the El Ni\u00f1o/La Ni\u00f1a cycle.\n\nTo give it away, solar activity at its maximum tends to enhance La Ni\u00f1a events, and probably to suppress El Ni\u00f1o events. Conversely you might imagine that an El Ni\u00f1o at solar minimum (such as we are in) has the potential (other things being equal) of being particularly strong. (Notice that this is *not* to say that solar activity *causes* the El Ni\u00f1o/La Ni\u00f1a cycle, but that it has an influence that might now be modeled.)\n\nLet's start with a reminder of what the El Ni\u00f1o/La Ni\u00f1a cycle is, roughly, before we enter the northern hemisphere winter. In the figure below, we're looking at a cartoon of the equatorial Pacific Ocean basin, with west on the left and east on the right. I like my clouds and lightning!\n\nThere are other things that are going on. The trade winds (green in the figure below) are not the ultimate cause of this phenomenon, since surely there is something more that causes trade winds to vary in their strength and sometimes direction. However, in normal years the trade winds blow east to west, driving warm 1equatorial waters (orange) across the Pacific. They actually blow warm surface waters west to pile up in a phenomenon called the westward intensification, and that's what you see here.\n\nOne consequence of normally blowing trade winds is that cold bottom waters (dark blue) in the east are pulled up to the surface (upwelling), providing the nutrients and oxygen that support abundant fish populations along the west coast of South America.\n\nYou might consider a La Ni\u00f1a to be a sort of a super normal condition, where trade winds blow even more strongly (the insets here are of sea surface temperature anomalies, from NWS-CPC):\n\nIn an El Ni\u00f1o, such as we are entering, the trade winds slow, and may even reverse direction. The pile of warm water sloshes eastward across the Pacific, bring upwelling of cold waters to a halt and moving the location of precipitation eastward.\n\nWith all the attendant effects of an El Ni\u00f1o it's good to present from the NWS-CPC this figure.\n\nThe top panel let you know, if you live in North America, about what to expect this winter. The bottom panel might be interesting in terms of comparison with last winter and spring, and even into the early summer, when we were in a La Ni\u00f1a and its lingering aftereffect.\n\nLooks like Bev need not go to Arizona for warmth, since that will be the case in Ontario. She'll enjoy a rainy winter in Bisbee, considerably different from last winter.\n\nNow on to solar activity. Sunspots are a rough indicator of solar activity. It may be counterintuitive, but generally the more sunspots the greater the activity and output of radiation. We've been in a period of low activity, with very few sunspots - the fewest in a minimum, since 1913.\n\nAs usual Richard Kerr does a good job of explaining the significance of the Meehl, et al. paper linked to above. I don't get the impression that there wasn't a qualitative explanation for the influence of solar activity on the El Ni\u00f1o/La Ni\u00f1a cycle, but rather that it wasn't modeled adequately with current global climate models, so failed to explain the larger amplification of solar cycle effects that are actually observed. Consideration of the influence of the stratosphere seems to be the report's contribution.\n\nSince we don't have our brains programmed with a GCM, let's look at what's happening qualitatively. It all has to do with evaporation at the equator and influence on the trade winds that result.\n\nIn increased solar activity, evaporation is enhanced at the equator. Rising hot moist air moves north and south, forming clouds and eventually precipitation, which drives the trade winds westward. However, quantitative is important too, and the simplistic \"bottom up\" explanation doesn't seem to add up in the current GCMs. The trick was to convince the GCMs to simulate this pattern and that seems to be what the authors have done.\n\nThey incorporated the 11-year solar cycle into the models by adding considerations of the stratosphere to the \"top-down\" approach. Top-down refers to the warming of the atmosphere, and here particularly, the stratosphere. Increased ultraviolet radiation during a solar maximum produces more ozone in the stratosphere, especially above the ITCZ. The thickened ozone itself then absorbs UV, converting it to heat (ozone, in this way, acts as a greenhouse gas). This inhibits cloud formation and precipitation until the moist air has travelled north and south, where it dumps unusually heavy rain, producing even stronger trade winds. When they included these considerations, the output of the models more closely reflected the amplification of the tiny variations in the solar cycle.\n\nHere is a figure from their paper that shows the precipitation changes over the Pacific, both measured, during a solar maximum, and modeled (below).\n\nOne thing to notice is the vaguely La Ni\u00f1a-like precipitation pattern, with abundant rainfall in the west and more importantly, reproduction of rainfall north and south of the equator, with reduction at the equator itself. Again, it's not to say that solar activity causes the El Ni\u00f1o/La Ni\u00f1a cycle, but that it influences it. And the trend of influence is in the direction of La Ni\u00f1a-like conditions. It's probably of some interest to point out that such a trend would lead to increased North Atlantic hurricane activity during solar maxima.\n\nNow, that's a pretty crude analysis, but then I only play a climatologist on the internet, and so fortunately there are those who can better interpret the results and significance of the modeling. The Richard Kerr summary suggests that not everyone is impressed. I suspect RealClimate will have something to say about this soon.\n\n1When I say \"equator,\" I mean the intertropical convergence zone, the ITCZ, the meteorological equator. It migrates northward and southward with the seasons, so only coincides with the geographical equator twice a year. It's this annual cycle, incidently, that leads to monsoon seasons.\n\nThursday: 27 August 2009\n\nShort Shameful Confession \u00a0-\u00a0 @ 10:11:04\nTelevision in the 60s. Practically worthless. But while I may have abandoned it by the mid 70s, at 13 years old in 1967 I loved \"Dark Shadows\". So it is that in the last few months I've gotten hooked on the youtube, and have spent 389 minisodes x 10 min = 3890 minutes, or about 65 hours watching \"minisodes\" of it. I get home late at night, write up my online student evaluations, and then I treat myself to the couple or three minisodes that have been put up that day. Glenn and my sister Susan have no idea what to make of me, but I've no difficulty getting off my high horse and slumming with the lowest. And just before bedtime, this invariably gives me a much needed laugh.\n\nIf you were of a certain age in 1967, and around here I may be the only one of that certain age, \"Dark Shadows\" was an irresistable draw. Those somewhat older than me were protesting the Vietnam War and those younger probably missed it, but who cares?\n\nFor those who don't know, \"Dark Shadows\" was a gothic/supernatural soap opera that premiered in 1967 and lasted about four seasons, with about 1245 episodes, if I have the count right. Like all soap operas, it was perpetually guaranteed embarrassment, as you followed the antics of people who don't exist, doing silly things that really don't matter or make sense, and trying to convince us of portentious events that couldn't happen, but at the age of 13 I loved it.\n\nSo did everyone on the schoolbus ferrying us to Oakwood Elementary School in Oakwood, Georgia. In a way, this was somewhat important, since I had very few interests in common with these rural bumpkin children otherwise. We could all get into \"Dark Shadows,\" though, for \"Dark Shadows\" was the first soap opera targetted to kids. Many were the hot debates on that schoolbus, driven by an undoubtedly alcoholic Mr Chambers, who", "base_doc": "\u00a0 @ 06:57:53\nThere's always a good reason to review the planetarially important El Ni\u00f1o/La Ni\u00f1a cycle, for we all forget how it works, but this is a particularly opportune time for two reasons: we are entering an El Ni\u00f1o phase, and a solar minimum is coming to and end.

The pile of warm water sloshes eastward across the Pacific, bring upwelling of cold waters to a halt and moving the location of precipitation eastward.\n\nWith all the attendant effects of an El Ni\u00f1o it's good to present from the NWS-CPC this figure.\n\nThe top panel let you know, if you live in North America, about what to expect this winter. The bottom panel might be interesting in terms of comparison with last winter and spring, and even into the early summer, when we were in a La Ni\u00f1a and its lingering aftereffect.\n\nLooks like Bev need not go to Arizona for warmth, since that will be the case in Ontario. She'll enjoy a rainy winter in Bisbee, considerably different from last winter.\n\nNow on to solar activity. Sunspots are a rough indicator of solar activity. It may be counterintuitive, but generally the more sunspots the greater the activity and output of radiation. We've been in a period of low activity, with very few sunspots - the fewest in a minimum, since 1913.\n\nAs usual Richard Kerr does a good job of explaining the significance of the Meehl, et al. paper linked to above. I don't get the impression that there wasn't a qualitative explanation for the influence of solar activity on the El Ni\u00f1o/La Ni\u00f1a cycle, but rather that it wasn't modeled adequately with current global climate models, so failed to explain the larger amplification of solar cycle effects that are actually observed. Consideration of the influence of the stratosphere seems to be the report's contribution.\n\nSince we don't have our brains programmed with a GCM, let's look at what's happening qualitatively. It all has to do with evaporation at the equator and influence on the trade winds that result.\n\nIn increased solar activity, evaporation is enhanced at the equator. Rising hot moist air moves north and south, forming clouds and eventually precipitation, which drives the trade winds westward. However, quantitative is important too, and the simplistic \"bottom up\" explanation doesn't seem to add up in the current GCMs. The trick was to convince the GCMs to simulate this pattern and that seems to be what the authors have done.\n\nThey incorporated the 11-year solar cycle into the models by adding considerations of the stratosphere to the \"top-down\" approach. Top-down refers to the warming of the atmosphere, and here particularly, the stratosphere. Increased ultraviolet radiation during a solar maximum produces more ozone in the stratosphere, especially above the ITCZ. The thickened ozone itself then absorbs UV, converting it to heat (ozone, in this way, acts as a greenhouse gas). This inhibits cloud formation and precipitation until the moist air has travelled north and south, where it dumps unusually heavy rain, producing even stronger trade winds. When they included these considerations, the output of the models more closely reflected the amplification of the tiny variations in the solar cycle.\n\nHere is a figure from their paper that shows the precipitation changes over the Pacific, both measured, during a solar maximum, and modeled (below).\n\nOne thing to notice is the vaguely La Ni\u00f1a-like precipitation pattern, with abundant rainfall in the west and more importantly, reproduction of rainfall north and south of the equator, with reduction at the equator itself. Again, it's not to say that solar activity causes the El Ni\u00f1o/La Ni\u00f1a cycle, but that it influences it. And the trend of influence is in the direction of La Ni\u00f1a-like conditions. It's probably of some interest to point out that such a trend would lead to increased North Atlantic hurricane activity during solar maxima.\n\nNow, that's a pretty crude analysis, but then I only play a climatologist on the internet, and so fortunately there are those who can better interpret the results and significance of the modeling. The Richard Kerr summary suggests that not everyone is impressed. I suspect RealClimate will have something to say about this soon.\n\n1When I say \"equator,\" I mean the intertropical convergence zone, the ITCZ, the meteorological equator. It migrates northward and southward with the seasons, so only coincides with the geographical equator twice a year. It's this annual cycle, incidently, that leads to monsoon seasons.\n\nThursday: 27 August 2009\n\nShort Shameful Confession \u00a0-\u00a0 @ 10:11:04\nTelevision in the 60s. Practically worthless. But while I may have abandoned it by the mid 70s, at 13 years old in 1967 I loved \"Dark Shadows\". So it is that in the last few months I've gotten hooked on the youtube, and have spent 389 minisodes x 10 min = 3890 minutes, or about 65 hours watching \"minisodes\" of it. I get home late at night, write up my online student evaluations, and then I treat myself to the couple or three minisodes that have been put up that day. Glenn and my sister Susan have no idea what to make of me, but I've no difficulty getting off my high horse and slumming with the lowest. And just before bedtime, this invariably gives me a much needed laugh.\n\nIf you were of a certain age in 1967, and around here I may be the only one of that certain age, \"Dark Shadows\" was an irresistable draw. Those somewhat older than me were protesting the Vietnam War and those younger probably missed it, but who cares?\n\nFor those who don't know, \"Dark Shadows\" was a gothic/supernatural soap opera that premiered in 1967 and lasted about four seasons, with about 1245 episodes, if I have the count right. Like all soap operas, it was perpetually guaranteed embarrassment, as you followed the antics of people who don't exist, doing silly things that really don't matter or make sense, and trying to convince us of portentious events that couldn't happen, but at the age of 13 I loved it.\n\nSo did everyone on the schoolbus ferrying us to Oakwood Elementary School in Oakwood, Georgia. In a way, this was somewhat important, since I had very few interests in common with these rural bumpkin children otherwise. We could all get into \"Dark Shadows,\" though, for \"Dark Shadows\" was the first soap opera targetted to kids. Many were the hot debates on that schoolbus, driven by an undoubtedly alcoholic Mr Chambers, who segregated girls on one side, and boys on the other. It cleverly aired at 4:30pm, which was when we would get home if our inebriated and tyrannical bus driver chose to deliver us first down our side road rather than selecting to deliver others farther on before turning around and bringing us home. We gnashed our teeth every time he fiendishly sailed past our side road. And Mr Chambers, knowing how he'd dashed our hopes, would look at us in his rear view mirror and grin - a truly terrible sight since the only teeth he had remaining were of a color that natural teeth are not.", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 225898, "pt_loc": 208513338, "pt_shuffle_idx": 13479647, "doc_index_f": 21127966, "doc_index_l": 21127966, "offset_f": 978, "offset_l": 3026, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 128, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": " pulls off his mask, and reveals\u00a0\u00a0\nhimself as Vincent Kennedy McMahon, Jr. Then he hits Bischoff right between the\u00a0\u00a0\neyes with the Ocarina, which was loaded with a brick.

But we\u2019re getting ahead of ourselves; first, let\u2019s talk about the oh-so-romantic flashback that kicked things off.\n\nWe\u2019re treated to a sweet scene at the start of the episode between Alice and Cyrus. They\u2019re sitting by a fire, cuddling and watching the stars literally fall all around them. They can do that because \u2026 magic! But their lovely little date under the stars is soon interrupted by a group of baddies looking to kidnap Cyrus and exploit his magical Genie powers. This seems to be a recurring event: Alice and Cyrus are having a great time hanging out and falling in love at some magical locale, and suddenly some jerks appear brandishing swords and wanting to kidnap Cyrus. Alice has to help her love fight off his would-be captors, and they escape by the skin of their teeth.\n\nIt seems everybody in Wonderland wants to have their very own Genie, and even though Alice and Cyrus are able to keep the baddies at bay, Cyrus knows he and Alice can\u2019t keep running and hiding for the rest of their lives. This is most apparent after Alice is wounded during a skirmish, and the White Rabbit warns Cyrus that his life on the run might one day get her killed. Hoping to keep Alice safe, Cyrus decides it\u2019s time for them to settle down in a cute, hidden little cottage of their own. They\u2019ll be safe there because it\u2019s protected by cloaking magic, but Cyrus had to part with something very important to him to get the cottage, a magic compass his mother gave him. The compass has the power to lead anyone to any item they\u2019ve lost in their lives. Cyrus trades it to The Caterpillar in order to get the cottage, and he and Alice live their happily ever after. Oh, wait \u2026 no they don\u2019t.\n\nBack in the present day, Alice and Knave travel to the cottage hoping to find Cyrus there waiting for them. But before getting there, they make a pit stop the the Rabbit\u2019s house to find out why he betrayed them. We know the Rabbit has been reluctantly working for the Queen all season, and we finally find out why: She has kidnapped his family and threatened. He\u2019s forced to do her bidding to keep them safe. Luckily, Alice and Knave are able to rescue Rabbit\u2019s wife and their cute little baby bunnies from the Queen\u2019s secret hiding place, which is the trailer where she and Knave used to live before she left him.\n\nAlice and Knave finally make it to the cloaked cottage only to find it abandoned. Alice is bummed, and it looks like she\u2019s about to give up \u2026 until she sees Cyrus running to the cottage! As promised in the previews to this episode, Alice and Cyrus are finally reunited, and the reunion is sweet and rewarding \u2014 for a minute, anyway. Alice learns that the Queen is the one who has brought Cyrus back to her, which makes no sense. Everyone is wondering why the Queen, who kidnapped Cyrus and handed him to Jafar in the first place, would now help him reunite with Alice. Why would she betray Jafar? Well, it turns out she did it all for love! Who would\u2019ve guessed?\n\nApparently, handing Cyrus over to Jafar would allow the laws of magic to be changed, which means the Queen could go back in time and change everything that happened on the day she left Knave. Her secret wish is to be with Knave again and to make him love her, but she can only do that by erasing the pain she caused him in the past. Sound complicated? It is, sorta. Why didn\u2019t the Queen choose the easier route and just tell Knave something like, \u201cHey, I made a mistake, I totally love you, so let\u2019s get back together?\u201d We honestly have no idea. At any rate, she tries to make things right with Knave after saving Cyrus, but he still doesn\u2019t trust her. And while everyone is arguing over whether or not the Queen should be trusted, Jafar sends a killer cloud (yes, a killer cloud) to, well, kill everyone.\n\nThe cloud\u2019s lightening strikes, and Knave takes the hit that was meant for the Queen. It seems he still does have feelings for her after all. But the impact also hurts Alice, since her fate is tied to Knave\u2019s because of a wish she made a few episodes ago. It seems like Alice and Knave have earned a one-way trip to Hades until Cyrus hands Knave a wish, and he wishes for Alice\u2019s suffering to end. And just like that, she\u2019s back on her feet and Cyrus is set free. He\u2019s no longer a Genie, he\u2019s a human being, which means his life of running and hiding is over. The only catch is \u2026 Knave is now a Genie, and he\u2019s trapped inside Cyrus\u2019 bottle. And it gets worse, because the bottle somehow got tossed in a river and no one knows where it is.\n\nSo Alice and Cyrus are finally together, Rabbit got his family back, and the Queen finally saw the light, but as usual, Knave got screwed again! He\u2019s totally the whipping boy of \u2018Wonderland.\u2019 Here\u2019s hoping he gets a break when the show returns in January.\n\nBest of PopCrush 97.1\n\nRecommended For You\n\nBest of the Web\n\nLeave a Comment\n\n\nForgot your password?\n\n\n\n\n\n(Forgot your password?)\n\nNot a member?

But it also has other, more frightening, implications\n\n\nWe are approaching a biotechnological breakthrough. Ectogenesis, the invention of a complete external womb, could completely change the nature of human reproduction. In April this year, researchers at the Children\u2019s Hospital of Philadelphia announced their development of an artificial womb. The \u201cbiobag\u201d is intended to improve the survival rates of premature babies and is a significant step forward from conventional incubators. Their results show that lambs (at the equivalent of a premature human foetus of 22-24 weeks) are able to successfully grow in the biobag, with the oldest lamb now more than one year old.\n\nResearchers at Cambridge University, meanwhile, have also kept a human embryo alive outside the body for 13 days using a mix of nutrients that mimic conditions in the womb. The embryo survived several days longer than previously observed and research only stopped because they were approaching the 14-day legal limit for the length of time an embryo can be kept in a lab. In other words, our ethics rather than our technology are now the limiting factor.\n\nThe key to survival through ectogenesis is reproducing the conditions of the womb.

Specifically, Compass Labs can identify who is about to buy a product or service, which product or service are they about to buy, what are the user\u2019s interests, and what does the user feel about specific products and services\n\nDescribe how Compass Labs identifies purchase intent? Where in the purchase funnel is intent derived from social streams/messages? \u00a0How does this compare with Web search?\n\nCompass Labs monitors social streams 24/7 and scores each user and each social stream for readiness-to-buy.\u00a0 For example, a readiness-to-buy score of 95 indicates that the user is very likely to buy the product in the immediate term \u2013 i.e. the user is an imminent buyer. On the other hand, a readiness-to-buy score of 70 indicates that the user is seriously considering purchase but is still trying to decide, say, which brand to purchase. Thus, we can identify the user\u2019s state of readiness.\n\nThese scores then make it possible for different types of advertisers to efficiently target the right customers. For example, a merchant will be interested in targeting imminent buyers (e.g. a score of 95), while a brand like Sony would be interested in targeting people who are trying to identify the brand preferences (e.g. a score of 70).\n\nUsers are increasingly asking product and service questions on social media before they conduct a Web search. Through analyzing these interactions across public networking sites, Compass Labs is able to identify users who are about to buy even before they visit a search engine.

What will this mean for women?\n\nUser Rating:\u00a05\u00a0/\u00a05\n\nStar ActiveStar ActiveStar ActiveStar ActiveStar Active\n\nTechnology is well on the way to realising ectogenesis, improving premature baby survival and increasing fertility options. But it also has other, more frightening, implications\n\n\nWe are approaching a biotechnological breakthrough. Ectogenesis, the invention of a complete external womb, could completely change the nature of human reproduction. In April this year, researchers at the Children\u2019s Hospital of Philadelphia announced their development of an artificial womb. The \u201cbiobag\u201d is intended to improve the survival rates of premature babies and is a significant step forward from conventional incubators. Their results show that lambs (at the equivalent of a premature human foetus of 22-24 weeks) are able to successfully grow in the biobag, with the oldest lamb now more than one year old.\n\nResearchers at Cambridge University, meanwhile, have also kept a human embryo alive outside the body for 13 days using a mix of nutrients that mimic conditions in the womb. The embryo survived several days longer than previously observed and research only stopped because they were approaching the 14-day legal limit for the length of time an embryo can be kept in a lab. In other words, our ethics rather than our technology are now the limiting factor.\n\nThe key to survival through ectogenesis is reproducing the conditions of the womb. As scientists become better at that, the gap between the longest time embryos can survive and the earliest time a foetus is viable will narrow. When the two timescales meet, we will have the technology for a complete external womb.\n\nIt is exactly this kind of scientific discovery that I imagined for my novel, The Growing Season.

You're so close!\" So I waddled a bit until I felt like I could do it, then I ran to the finish. I made it.\n\nThe aftermath is a blur- waddling through a packed crowd of finishers, shaking hands with marines in uniform and getting my finisher's medal (I started crying), wishing I could find Flash and hug him. It was one of the hardest things I had ever done, mentally and physically, and it was over.\n\nPeople have asked me if I will ever do it again, or what I'm going to do in the future. I guess I should never say never, though I told Flash right afterward I would never do that again. I will still run, of course, and do shorter races; we are signed up for a half marathon in the spring. I'm also excited to try some triathalons- my next great adventure!\u00a0 But the real truth is that it doesn't matter. I ran a marathon, and now I can always say I have done it.

Thank you to Speedy for being the cheeriest running buddy ever at 6 am on long runs.\u00a0 And most importantly, thank you to Flash: you inspired me a year ago, when I had only ever run an 8K and you had just finished your first marathon, to go on to ever greater challenges. You got me to sign up for my first and second half marathons, and my first full marathon, with only words of encouragement all along the way. You got me up on those cold mornings to run, drove me to races, and always coaxed me through self-doubt.\u00a0 You are a truly inspiring two-time marathoner and running buddy, and I can't even imagine how I would have done this training without you.\u00a0 But most importantly, you're an amazing friend, and I'm so glad that we get to run together.\n\nIf you found this blog inspiring in any way to re-think your lifestyle and food choices, then I feel that I have succeeded at least in part.\u00a0 If not, I hope at least it was entertaining to read about my many antics over the months.\u00a0 I may start a new blog about overall fitness (and triathalons?) in the future, but until then, this is Dash, signing off...\n\nThe end (and the beginning).\n\nTuesday, October 25, 2011\n\nTaper Tantrum\n\nThere is now less than a week until my marathon- and I can hardly believe that it's finally almost here. I run so many miles (at least a thousand this year), trained for so many hours, and put so much mental sweat into this race, let alone all the general nutritional preparation and decreased social life (ha).\u00a0 But the biggest thing about the final week is that you basically can no longer prepare; it's already essentially already done.\u00a0 The way you treat your body for the final week is, however, extremely important to being able to perform on race day. As I once read a coach say in a running magazine: the hay is already in the barn, you just have to stack it.\u00a0 During this last week, you don't go on some last long runs to make sure you are ready- far from it. Instead, you have to make yourself just rest, sleep a lot, and wait. And eat more carbs.\n\nSo what happens during this time? Shouldn't it be a nice break? Well, not necessarily.\u00a0 In fact, marathoners often call how they feel during this time a \"taper tantrum.\" Like other runners, running is usually my distraction, my release from stress at work, my time to get my thoughts in order. I'm also an endorphin junkie at this point. I'm used to running at least 30 miles a week, sometimes as much as 50 in a seven day period, and now I had to bring it down to 7 total for the whole week.\u00a0 I feel like I am chomping at the bit, feeling more and more nervous about the race, yet unable to release most of that nervous energy.\u00a0 What's more, the very short runs sometimes even don't feel that enjoyable, because I am used to warming up for the first few miles.\u00a0 I have to say, a couple of those three mile runs have just felt- awkward, as if I was no longer quite able to get fully into my rhythm. I also feel like I have had so much time on my hands- especially on the weekend, because I haven't been either preparing for or recovering from a 14-20 mile run.\u00a0 I actually cleaned and organized my apartment for about 10 hours on Saturday as a result.\n\nFlash had warned me that tapering would be difficult, and I knew it would be- but it's quite different when you are actually experiencing it.\u00a0 It kind of feels like I'm being wound up like a spring, like my muscles are itching to really run.\u00a0 To tell the truth, Flash has been having an even more difficult time with tapering than I have- he went on an unscheduled jog last weekend, and he ran the three miler yesterday reallly fast.\u00a0 I have been having a pretty difficult time making myself only do what's on the schedule, but I'm doing it. I know that the people who created it know what they are talking about.\n\nFive more days.\n\nTuesday, October 11, 2011\n\nChase the Rabbit\n\nIt shouldn't come as a surprise to many, but runners are a quite competitive bunch. I have spent a lot of time talking about the different psychological processes which help or hinder running, but one that I have yet to mention is what I call the \"chase the rabbit\" syndrome. When I am out running on roads, paths, and in races, I often pass or am passed by other runners, and an interesting phenomenon occurs: the person who is passed often speeds up their pace in order to keep up (hence the term \"chase the rabbit\"-- the passer served as an impetus to go faster).\n\nThis happens to me a lot when I pass someone, particularly a male runner. They hate being passed by other runners (especially a girl) so they speed up to run by again. I usually roll my eyes as they blaze by, since they had previously been just trotting along really slowly. It also happens to me in the opposite, however. Last week I set out at around midday on a cool and rainy Saturday for a solo 12 miler. I was planning on trying to go at a medium pace, since I had a 20 mile run the week after, but", "base_doc": " somewhat of a blur- I remember that marines were holding out pieces of doughnuts at about mile 24 (Flash told me later that he had some- I felt nauseated when I saw them).\u00a0 Jen kept up words of encouragement, and I couldn't respond that much but I was really grateful that I didn't have to keep encouraging myself.\u00a0 We passed the 25 mile marker, and Jen said, \"Only a mile to go!

I'm used to running at least 30 miles a week, sometimes as much as 50 in a seven day period, and now I had to bring it down to 7 total for the whole week.\u00a0 I feel like I am chomping at the bit, feeling more and more nervous about the race, yet unable to release most of that nervous energy.\u00a0 What's more, the very short runs sometimes even don't feel that enjoyable, because I am used to warming up for the first few miles.\u00a0 I have to say, a couple of those three mile runs have just felt- awkward, as if I was no longer quite able to get fully into my rhythm. I also feel like I have had so much time on my hands- especially on the weekend, because I haven't been either preparing for or recovering from a 14-20 mile run.\u00a0 I actually cleaned and organized my apartment for about 10 hours on Saturday as a result.\n\nFlash had warned me that tapering would be difficult, and I knew it would be- but it's quite different when you are actually experiencing it.\u00a0 It kind of feels like I'm being wound up like a spring, like my muscles are itching to really run.\u00a0 To tell the truth, Flash has been having an even more difficult time with tapering than I have- he went on an unscheduled jog last weekend, and he ran the three miler yesterday reallly fast.\u00a0 I have been having a pretty difficult time making myself only do what's on the schedule, but I'm doing it. I know that the people who created it know what they are talking about.\n\nFive more days.\n\nTuesday, October 11, 2011\n\nChase the Rabbit\n\nIt shouldn't come as a surprise to many, but runners are a quite competitive bunch. I have spent a lot of time talking about the different psychological processes which help or hinder running, but one that I have yet to mention is what I call the \"chase the rabbit\" syndrome. When I am out running on roads, paths, and in races, I often pass or am passed by other runners, and an interesting phenomenon occurs: the person who is passed often speeds up their pace in order to keep up (hence the term \"chase the rabbit\"-- the passer served as an impetus to go faster).\n\nThis happens to me a lot when I pass someone, particularly a male runner. They hate being passed by other runners (especially a girl) so they speed up to run by again. I usually roll my eyes as they blaze by, since they had previously been just trotting along really slowly. It also happens to me in the opposite, however. Last week I set out at around midday on a cool and rainy Saturday for a solo 12 miler. I was planning on trying to go at a medium pace, since I had a 20 mile run the week after, but I didn't want to go too slowly either.\u00a0 About a half mile into my run, a girl in a brown rain jacket ran by me, and I automatically sped up behind her.", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 230806, "pt_loc": 241078301, "pt_shuffle_idx": 98442965, "doc_index_f": 154310712, "doc_index_l": 154310712, "offset_f": 3110, "offset_l": 5158, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 39, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": "Question: How can I keep picture frames from scratching the wall?\nAnswer: Put dabs of hot glue on the back corner of the frames.<|endoftext|> tool which allowed any player to capture a screenshot or video, and then type in some feedback and send it in.\n\nThat actually went directly to a JIRA project tracking system that we had inside Blizzard, and then my production team and our quality assurance team actually went through and pulled all of those over, and our design team went through every single one. We basically had our whole team just basically on zoom, and I was sharing my screen, and we just went line by line; and I think one of the things is when you look at that feedback, and we're trying to look for trends, not just anecdotes, right? Some person may have a really easy time fighting a boss, and another person is having a very difficult time, and they can both be the same class.\n\nSo ultimately, we have to make a judgment call on what the experience is going to be, weighing all that different feedback. But we try to look for trends. For what Kristopher was saying, people weren't tagging monsters when they thought they should be able to tag monsters and get credit for them. That was a trend.\n\nWe saw over a bunch of different feedback from a bunch of players, and so in the end, we do have to make a judgment call. But we do really value that kind of feedback. Especially when we see a really clear trend over multiple players, but then we're also looking at Reddit, other community channels, to get anecdotes and feedback from there as well.\n\nKristopher: I'll give you another example of a trend that we were seeing. There was some complaint that the wizard class felt underpowered or that it wasn't playing the way people wanted to. A lot of people, the way they like to play wizard is to like: kite.\n\nSo they get a monster, big monster, hard elites and they chase, they get the kiting around, and they keep doing damage to them. They avoid taking any damage while controlling these monsters; and wizard just wasn't really cutting it at doing that; and we identified the core ways that wizard controls monsters is by chilling them, so that they move more slowly; and that the chill effects on the wizard just weren't strong enough.\n\nYou chill something. You go to do the next attack, and it has already caught up with you again, just catching up too soon. So we made all of the chill effects on the wizard class stronger. So monsters will be slowed down even more; and then the Ray of Frost ability got redesigned a bit. Instead of just chilling the monster, if he hit them at all, now the longer the Ray of Frost beam hits the monster, the more chilled it gets, the slower and slower it moves; and that lets you use the Ray of Frost to slow it down and then teleport to get some distance so that you can hit them with combos: like Scorch and Arcane Wind to cause an Inferno that kills the monster.\n\nBefore, it was too hard to pull that off. So we saw that feedback, and then we try to understand what was causing that \"My wizard feels underpowered\" by looking for where are the problems the class is having and then make specific changes to help the class feel better.\n\nInvenGlobal (Aaron Alford): I was curious how the pandemic impacted the processes within your internal team? Do you feel like you adapted well? What challenges did you face as a result of the pandemic and presumably moving your team at least somewhat remote? Could you just talk about that a little bit?\n\nCaleb: One of the things that we experienced very early on around the end of March that we were told we're gonna go home and work for a few weeks. That'll be fine; and I'm sure you guys were all told something similar; and then here we are.\n\nI think one of the things that we experienced right away was a lot of our day is spent collaborating with one another in different meetings. We meet with design and we meet with art and production and all of our other disciplines.\n\nSo we're in meetings a lot, and usually when you're on campus, there's this mental break that happens when you get to walk from one meeting room to the next. You kind of get to exercise, get some fresh air and at least like take a mental break. When it's just back-to-back ZOOM meetings, we have this sometimes an exhausting efficient day where there's no downtime and you're barely moving, and you're just like clicking twice to go to your next hour block; and so sometimes it could kind of get exhausting because it's so efficient; and so I think what we started to do was try to end meetings earlier so that we just had that kind of like refresh so that we could context switch a little bit better.\n\nBut then at this point, I think that we've grown more accustomed to it. A lot of people, at least from me (myself), I like that I can stand up at the end of my day and go be with my family right away.\n\nLike there's no commute time. That's great. Yeah. I mean, it's like portal technology, as far as I'm concerned, I can literally leave this world and go home like instantly.\n\nSo that feels pretty good, but I would be very excited to return to the office and see everybody in person again.\n\nKris: I think for me, one of the big challenges is before the time between meetings, there's sort of this informal ability to say: \"Hey, Wyatt, I have this idea.\" Run it by him in 30 seconds, and not have to tell a meeting. Not to have to schedule something, and all of those little informal connections; or like where you're walking by somebody on the way to lunch, you're sharing ideas and all that cross-pollination. It's harder to make that happen. So we have to deliberately put it into the schedules.\n\nLike I have multiple meetings a week where it's just me and Wyatt chat for half an hour or 15 minutes about what's going on, because we used to just do that all the time because we're sitting next to each other. So that's been a bit more of a challenge, and I think it's also just a little bit fatiguing that you're always in the same spot within the same chair, the same place; and you kind of want to get up and get around.\n\nMy big adjustment had been that I have a small dog that I take for walks three or four times a day just to get outside of the house; and the funniest thing that happens is every time I say: \"Oh, I'm taking my dog for a walk\" -- my entire household wants to go with me because everybody wants to get out of their chair and walk around.\n\nSo it's been interesting, and then meeting more of the neighbors, and it's just a totally different social experience.\n\nInvenGlobal (Aaron Alford): Great. Thank you so much for sharing those details about your work life. I know that it can be a little more personal and it's not particularly the purpose of this, but I think it's important to understand the context in which what you guys are doing is happening because it's very impressive.\n\nKristopher: Yeah. Thanks.\n\nGameRant (Cameron Corliss): Obviously, the way that people interact with mobile as a platform is a lot different than a PC or a console. Can you tell us a little bit about the changes that you've had to make to kind of rise to the occasion and how have you adapted the gameplay for mobile?.\n\nCaleb: There is kind of two parts to this. The first, I'm going to let Kris talk about how we went about the gameplay design, but one thing I want to make really clear too, is that we have put our heart and soul into this game just like any other title. Just because it's on mobile, it doesn't mean it doesn't come with all the Blizzard polish and attention to detail, and effort, and telling a story that we would put in any of our other games.\n\nI think that could be a misconception about being on mobile, that we are directly trying to confront and just blow away with Diablo immortal; and then there are like really specific design things that we've had to do that Kris can talk about.\n\nKristopher: Yeah, we're trying to make the most complete Diablo game we can. It's just as big as any other game of the series. In some ways bigger than some of the things we're trying to do; but one of the biggest areas you have to adjust is the control scheme, right?\n\nYou have less space on the screen. That's the size. So traditionally a Diablo game would have the big red and blue bubbles: the Health and Mana bubbles -- that show onscreen. How much resources you have; and we just don't have the space to display that.\n\nSo, okay. Let's not show those, but you can still see a health bar that's easy, but now we have this energy globe that we can't display, and keeping track of your energy resources for using abilities becomes very difficult. So the design of abilities shifted.\n\nSo most of our skills are cooldown controlled -- meaning they have a 10, 15, 20 (whatever) seconds cooldown between how many times you can use them. Now, that sounds like: \"Oh, I'm just mashing things on cooldown.\" It's a little bit more complex than that.

The thing about the Bond movies is, when they do something really light and fluffy like \"Die Another Day,\" the critics go \"This is all well and fun but one wonders what kind of heights the Bond character could reach if filmmakers took him seriously.\" Then when the producers DO take the series seriously, the critics go, \"Oh, but this isn't fun at all! Bond should be about gadgets and secret hideouts and shagging babes!\" It's damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Don't get me wrong, I like Matt Damon, but I don't have a fucking clue what happened in that movie. I saw lots of shapes flashing around on a screen for a couple of hours though, I'm glad I don't have epilepsy.

Finally, I would just like to add that Daniel Craig is an excellent Bond because, for a change, he actually looks like someone who could jump over a roof onto a truck and punch you through the windscreen. Whilst being a proper 'theatre' actor. I thought Quantum was excellent because of its realism. And I still love the old Bonds.

If we were to compare the last two Bond films to other art forms, Casino Royale would be a rock opera. Quantum of Solace would be a poem. Yes, the shift is quite drastic. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but if you enjoy more nuanced work that's delicately shaded, you'll love this film. I don't want to get too crazy here, but this is the closest thing we're going to get to Kubrick directing a Bond film. The opera scene... wow. I had a lot of problems with it (for one, the theme song - which I like - is completely wrong for this story) and a few of the cast members completely phone it in. But Quantum of Solace will be held in higher esteem each passing year. It's so incredibly intimate and it caught me off guard. I hope the next film finds a happy medium between these two, but they should force Craig to sign a 10 film deal right now. He's that good. Go see this movie, but know what you're getting into.\n\n\n Mori nailed it. QoS rocked\n\n by wildphantom07\n\n I actually dig that people are split on it. It separates the side that want this stuff taken seriously, and the side that want all the in-jokery.

I loved Quantum of Solace. I was expecting it to be pretty good, but when it turned out to be a terrific movie I came out soaring.

Bottom line - if Moonraker's one of your favourite Bond movies then you'll be disappointed. But if you're one that prefers the early Connery and liked the direction Casino Royale hinted at the series going then I think you'll be pretty happy.

Ebert's review was a joke. Everyone's got their own idea of what a Bond movie should be - but for a movie critic to not review the film infront of them is pretty pathetic. Don't bemoan what isn't in it and concentrate on what is. There's some excellent filmmaking going on in Solace.

The thing about the Bond movies is, when they do something really light and fluffy like \"Die Another Day,\" the critics go \"This is all well and fun but one wonders what kind of heights the Bond character could reach if filmmakers took him seriously.\" Then when the producers DO take the series seriously, the critics go, \"Oh, but this isn't fun at all! Bond should be about gadgets and secret hideouts and shagging babes!\" It's damned if you do, damned if you don't. The only thing that matters is audience reception and so far diehard Bond fans like me have been loving this more serious and artsy take on Bond.\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 2:31 a.m. CST\n\n\n by Ray Gamma\n\n Every time someone says \"aw, they're just trying to rip of Bourne\"....

Take a moment to think about this: Bourne only exists because it is a James Bond rip-off. Also, can anyone explain to me what the fuck was the plot in Bourne 2? Don't get me wrong, I like Matt Damon, but I don't have a fucking clue what happened in that movie. I saw lots of shapes flashing around on a screen for a couple of hours though, I'm glad I don't have epilepsy.

Finally, I would just like to add that Daniel Craig is an excellent Bond because, for a change, he actually looks like someone who could jump over a roof onto a truck and punch you through the windscreen. Whilst being a proper 'theatre' actor. I thought Quantum was excellent because of its realism. And I still love the old Bonds. I have no problem with that.\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 2:32 a.m. CST\n\n correction: \"rip off\"\n\n by Ray Gamma\n\n sorry for my spelling.\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 2:38 a.m. CST\n\n Quantum of Solace....\n\n by D o o d\n\n Daniel Craig is an awesome actor but even he can't save this turd.

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

There was a good second long shot of her struggling to get out of the bed where her legs open wide and there are NO panties on, and you clearly see her vagina. I did a double take and confirmed with my three friends. Did anyone else see this? and how the hell did it get into a PG-13 MOVIE?!\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 3:07 a.m. CST\n\n Quantum has one shot at a strong $ weekend\n\n by Rocco Curioso\n\n I'd bet my last dollar that it, and everything else, is gonna get severely bitchslapped by \"Twilight\" next weekend. Never underestimate the power of teenage girls en masse.\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 3:08 a.m. CST\n\n This movie is so incredibly BALLSY.\n\n\n It's so refined and classy and totally not a crowd-pleaser - a huge risk for this franchise and I suspect it will piss a lot of people off. If we were to compare the last two Bond films to other art forms, Casino Royale would be a rock opera. Quantum of Solace would be a poem. Yes, the shift is quite drastic. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but if you enjoy more nuanced work that's delicately shaded, you'll love this film. I don't want to get too crazy here, but this is the closest thing we're going to get to Kubrick directing a Bond film. The opera scene... wow. I had a lot of problems with it (for one, the theme song - which I like - is completely wrong for this story) and a few of the cast members completely phone it in. But Quantum of Solace will be held in higher esteem each passing year. It's so incredibly intimate and it caught me off guard. I hope the next film finds a happy medium between these two, but they should force Craig to sign a 10 film deal right now. He's that good. Go see this movie, but know what you're getting into.\n\n\n Mori nailed it. QoS rocked\n\n by wildphantom07\n\n I actually dig that people are split on it. It separates the side that want this stuff taken seriously, and the side that want all the in-jokery.

I loved Quantum of Solace. I was expecting it to be pretty good, but when it turned out to be a terrific movie I came out soaring.

Bottom line - if Moonraker's one of your favourite Bond movies then you'll be disappointed. But if you're one that prefers the early Connery and liked the direction Casino Royale hinted at the series going then I think you'll be pretty happy.

Ebert's review was a joke. Everyone's got their own idea of what a Bond movie should be - but for a movie critic to not review the film infront of them is pretty pathetic. Don't bemoan what isn't in it and concentrate on what is. There's some excellent filmmaking going on in Solace. Like someone above pointed out - he liked Casino for the reasons he's criticising QoS for? Go figure - jeez\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 3:20 a.m. CST\n\n Moriarty just said he LOOKED liked Polanski.\n\n by WhinyNegativeBitch\n\n When Almaric showed up in Munich, I half thought for a second it was Polanski. I'm sure his character doesn't sodomise any little girls in this. Casino Royale is the only Bond I can stand to watch, and this looks like an attempt at more of the same that falls flat, which appears to be the general consensus.\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 3:26 a.m. CST\n\n Roger Ebert gave it 2/4 stars\n\n by Prossor\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 3:31 a.m. CST\n\n it's a great film....\n\n by Gabba-UK\n\n and I'm getting some real stick defending it at the moment.

It's not just an app; it's a subscription service that comprises a suite of programs that replaces one's regular apps to make calls, send texts, emails and even do videoconferencing, for $10 a month. The apps use end-to-end encryption to ensure that the communication between two Silent Circle users is secure and impossible to read, except by their intended recipients.\n\nThe service biggest strength is that it's supposed to be easy to use, and since day one, its creators have had in mind the lessons of the past. While PGP is the gold standard to encrypt data, even after 20 years, it's still very hard to use for regular computer users. Now the idea is to make privacy-enhancing tools easy for everybody to use.\n\n\"Not everyone is a crypto geek, and so there is a need to curate the experience,\" says Zimmermann. \"You know how Steve Jobs talks about curated computing? Well, this is curated crypto.\"\n\nVinnie Moscaritolo, Silent Circle's \"distinguished member of technical staff,\" echoes the same concept, saying that they \"intentionally make [Silent Circle] look like regular apps you use.\" Because the idea is that \"you just sit down and you use it.\"\n\nIts other big strength is that the keys, used to encrypt and decrypt the communications, aren't managed by Silent Circle itself. So technically, not even the company can know what two users are telling or writing each other. Silent Circle uses the so-called Public Key cryptography, a scheme that allows two people to swap keys and communicate securely, preventing a snooper from interceptinging their communications. (To know more about how this works, watch the below video.)\n\nThis is the main security feature of the service. Zimmermann and the other founders have built it in a way that retains the very least amount of data on its users.

And moreover, collaborating with the feds would fatally hurt their business, which is based on trust.\n\nAll it takes is for one case to be exposed to lose all credibility, Pietrosanti explains, citing the cautionary example of Hushmail, an encrypted browser email service that claimed to be unable to read its users' emails. In 2007, however, it was revealed that they had lied and made modifications to code in order to comply with wiretap requests.\n\nAnother point of contention since Silent Circle launched is that the company has been slow to make its code open source.\n\nIn the crypto community, it's an old adage that you shouldn't trust an encryption software unless its code is open to peer review.

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

Either way, it's one of the best places to propose in New York!\n\nEmpire State Building\n\nThis isn't a guaranteed yes, but some studies have shown that fear makes a person feel closer to you\u2014that's why you're more likely to get a snuggle during a scary movie as opposed to a funny one. It might sound silly, but it's pretty true. However, you have to gauge this one carefully. If they're so scared that they're just begging you to go back down again, you might want to give it a month and try again. This can be one of the most romantic places to propose in New York\u2014depending on your special someone.\n\n\nThis is one of the most famous jewelry stores in New York and has been around for almost one hundred years. However, you also need to be careful with this choice. Some girls might take it wrong if you take them into an expensive jewelry shop to propose\u2014all depending on their personality. Others wouldn't care, but you still want to be cautious. This could be a good way to just get them thinking about jewelry and then to get them to propose. But, it can still be one of the most romantic places to propose in New York\n\nIce Skating at Rockefeller Center\n\nThis is another of the most romantic places to propose in New York\u2014and it's also a lot of fun. So, if you have someone who is of the fun-loving, athletic, romantic type, this is the perfect place for you to check out! Don't forget to bring a small first aid kit in case you're the less athletic type! It makes it way easier on you to propose after a magical night of ice skating, especially when your special someone has that nice, warm, glowy feeling. Plus, they'll love how you picked such a pretty place!\n\nCentral Park Boathouse\n\nAre you looking for somewhere not only romantic, but that looks really, really nice? Or do you just need a new idea because you're out of all your others? If that's the case, don't hesitate to check into this beautiful location and make your move as soon as you possibly can! You can even pull out your own boat or perhaps rent one for the evening and take her rowing or gliding across the water! Definitely one of the best places to propose in New York.\n\nSpirit Cruises\n\nNot only are these fun, but they are truly romantic and they also give you a chance to get away if you or your special someone are particularly stressed out. Don't hesitate to check into these, but be forewarned that they will cost you a pretty penny. Also, make sure that your special someone doesn't get boat sick easily either. If they spend most of the day nauseous or simply not feeling good, it probably won't be such a good idea to try to propose... you might end up revisiting THEIR dinner!\n\nMetropolitan Museum of Art\n\nWhen it comes to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, you can't go wrong if you're an art lover or if your lover is an art lover! Let's face it\u2014there are loads of ways that you can propose, but this is truly one of the most special, since it takes a little bit more guts and it takes a little bit more time. You have to find the best moment. The right painting\u2014pretty much anything that you have in mind! Take the time to really, really think this over.\n\nThe Point\n\nThe point is another one of the greatest places to propose in New York. It's easily one of the best and the easiest places to propose. It's located in the mountains, so, naturally, you have that on your side. It also has quite a few great cabins that you can choose from, and it used to be a resort for the Rockefellers. So, naturally, it's a really luxurious place!\n\nThese are just a few places to keep in mind whilst you're trying to find romantic places to propose in New York. Take the time to have one that has meaning to you if you don't want to propose in these places or if you simply don't think they're what you're looking for.

For all of you who went to the thing at Aunt Joyce's house with Elvis, this is the crazy cuckoo bird, Kuku, that I got from him. He still acts crazy now, and his best friend is one of Casey's stuffed birds, Nuts (who acts like his name implies, insane). For Grandpa John, this is George, the baby George, the same one who plays with the little people in the ash tray on airplanes. Even though I know you don't have a computer, maybe you can see it at Grandma's house sometime. Baby George will come visit you, I promise. However, I believe Kuku will be left behind at someone's house, he might go a little crazy elsewhere (don't worry, he will remain secure within my bags). If you don't understand this paragraph, I'm sorry, perhaps you aren't really related to us, and don't know these stuffed animals, but I'm sure you'll still like the video. Once more it is only 8 frames per second, but this time I designed that to be the case so it works a little better (though shoes do not make very good tripods, yes I used a shoe as my tripod (I couldn't find a real one, or chose not to look)).<|endoftext|>Empire State Building(67613)\n\nThere are a great many ways that you can propose to your sweetheart.

Casual movie fans will be familiar with Sam's work from his successful superhero trilogy, Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2 and the woefully underappreciated (at least to this reviewer) Spider-Man 3. But you bottom dwelling horror trolls out there are far more familiar with Raimi's low budget origins that include The Evil Dead trilogy and 1990s weird one-off, Darkman. Featuring a performance from Liam Neeson that seems to be phoned in from the zanier corners of the Twilight Zone, Darkman comes to Blu-ray courtesy of Universal in a barebones edition.\n\nFacts of the Case\n\nDr. Payton Westlake (Liam Neeson, Taken) is on the verge of a miraculous breakthrough with a new form of synthetic skin replacement for burn victims. What Payton doesn't know is that his girlfriend Julie's (Francis McDormand, Fargo) new discovery at her job -- a memorandum incriminating her boss (Colin Friels) -- will literally blow his world apart. Enter Robert G. Durant (Larry Drake, TV's L.A. Law), a hired thug sent to retrieve the memo from Payton's laboratory. Durant destroys Westlake's lab, and seemingly Westlake himself, in a fiery explosion. But Payton survives with terrible burns and severed nerve endings, giving him super strength and uncontrollable emotions. With a new laboratory and the power to become anyone of his choosing by utilizing his synthetic skin, Payton sets out exact revenge upon those who wronged him and rebuild his old life. A new hero is born: the Darkman!\n\nThe Evidence\n\nSam Raimi's Darkman is an odd film indeed. Tonally, it's all over the map -- there's horror for the gore hounds, sci-fi for the technology nerds, romance for the chick flickers, superhero antics for fanboys, explosions for the action junkies and even Three Stooges-like shenanigans for comedy buffs. It's as if when making Darkman Raimi went as broad as he could when it came to audience inclusion. Had he included a gunfight at the OK Corral and a distinctive yellow brick road he may have succeeded as the first film director in history to make a movie that encompassed every cinematic genre known to man.\n\nAs it stands, I like Darkman. I don't love it (no, that space is reserved for the uber-awesome Army of Darkness), but I do enjoy it quite a bit. It's a movie filled with weird imagery, a creative and original superhero, interesting villains and silliness to spare. Liam Neeson is at his most deliriously unhinged in this movie. He doesn't chew the scenery as much as baste with BBQ sauce and scarf it down with a side of baked beans. Dr. Westlake's loony meter pegs at around 11 with no signs of letting up.\n\nComplementing Neeson's performance is Larry Drake (best known as Benny on TV's L.A. Law and as the maniacal murderer in the cult classic Dr. Giggles) as the sadistic, cigar chomping Robert Durant. It's a shame Drake didn't make more of a name for himself as a movie heavy -- he's one of the most interesting enemies in recent memory. A cross between Marvel Comic's Kingpin and Dick Tracy's Big Boy Caprice, Durant is a wonderful foil for Neeson's Westlake.\n\nDue to the strength of the leads the rest of the cast suffers by comparison. Francis McDormand is virtually wasted as Julie, Westlake's long-suffering girlfriend. Her character seems to just meander along; while her presence is needed, her character seems lost among the larger personalities of the cast. Colin Friels (Dark City) as a second tier heavy also is given little to work with. However, it is nice to see Raimi regulars such as brother Ted Raimi (the Spider-Man trilogy) and Bruce Campbell (just about every Raimi movie ever made) popping up in fun cameos.\n\nIf Darkman has any real flaw it's in its own internal logic.

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

Wadsworth handed everyone a straw and suggested that they all go in different rooms based on the length of their straws. Lavender and Peach got nervous as they picked theirs, unfortunately for them, their straws were different sizes and they had to go somewhere else with someone else. Peach looked for who she would be paired with. She was incredibly nervous.\n\n\"Well, looks like it's you and me...\" Wadsworth remarked with a small grin which seemed overwhelming to her then.\n\nLavender was going with Mrs. White. Colonel Mustard had Miss Scarlet. Mr. Green had Yvette, despite being a man, he felt very unlucky in his situation. Professor Plum had Mrs. Peacock, much to her horror. Peach blinked. She looked pretty pale. However the straws had decided. Mustard looked at Scarlet. The others split up as suggested.\n\nWadsworth was going to the attic with Miss Peach, looking down at her as they walked and the others went their separate ways. \"That friend of yours is interesting...\"\n\nPeach glanced at him. \"Yes, she's my best friend.\" she says softly. She luckily was able to walk by herself, with very few wobbles.\n\n\"Interesting,\" Wadsworth said as they went along. \"She looks a bit taller than you... Is she older than you?\"\n\n\"No, I'm older.\" Peach says. She twisted her engagement ring nervously.\n\n\"Nice...\" Wadsworth remarked, keeping her close, then caught something in the corner of his eye and looked down to see the engagement ring.\n\nPeach looked nervous and blushed. The ring was obviously a Wonka ring, it had Wonka nerds in the gem part.\n\n\"I guess you won a golden ticket, eh?\" Wadsworth inspected the ring.\n\nPeach looked nervous, but didn't move her hand in case he tightened his. \"Lavender did... I was the adult to go with her...\" she says quietly.\n\n\"Interesting...\" Wadsworth sounded obsessed with 'Miss Peach's' connection with Willy Wonka himself.\n\nPeach gave a gentle gulp. \"I hope I can live long enough for the wedding... I don't want to die here.\" she whimpers.\n\n\"Oh, you shouldn't worry about that...\" Wadsworth grinned eerily.\n\nPeach looked at him with wide eyes. \"What do you mean?\" She asks softly.\n\n\"That Mr. Wonka fell in love with a fair maiden.\"\n\nPeach moved her hand away nervous. \"Thank you.\" she says though blushed, due to the compliment.\n\n\"You must feel pretty lucky, eh?\"\n\nPeach gave a small smile. \"Yes, I never believed Willy would ever fall for me, or anyone for that matter.\" she says softly.\n\nWadsworth continued to smile as he kept something in his pocket, but he didn't unleash it just now. \"I always", "base_doc": ".

The debate continued.\n\n\"PLEASE!\" Mrs. White shrieked, her glass shattering against the fireplace, this was too much for her.\n\nLavender looked up to her.\n\n\"Stop...\" Mrs. White tried to calm herself down.\n\nPeach flinched at the sudden shout.\n\n\"We should split up by pairs and look for anything suspicious.\" Lavender suggested.\n\n\"Brilliant idea,\" Wadsworth remarked to that.\n\nYvette was afraid to go alone, Plum and Mustard offered to go with her, but Green flat-out declined.\n\n\"I choose Miss Peach.\" Lavender already took custody of her.\n\n\"We'll draw straws.\" Wadsworth told them already with his own plan, ignoring Lavender's wishes of being with Peach despite them already being close before the party.\n\nThey followed him to the kitchen and when he finished preparing them they all picked a straw. Wadsworth handed everyone a straw and suggested that they all go in different rooms based on the length of their straws. Lavender and Peach got nervous as they picked theirs, unfortunately for them, their straws were different sizes and they had to go somewhere else with someone else. Peach looked for who she would be paired with. She was incredibly nervous.\n\n\"Well, looks like it's you and me...\" Wadsworth remarked with a small grin which seemed overwhelming to her then.\n\nLavender was going with Mrs. White. Colonel Mustard had Miss Scarlet. Mr. Green had Yvette, despite being a man, he felt very unlucky in his situation. Professor Plum had Mrs. Peacock, much to her horror. Peach blinked. She looked pretty pale. However the straws had decided. Mustard looked at Scarlet. The others split up as suggested.\n\nWadsworth was going to the attic with Miss Peach, looking down at her as they walked and the others went their separate ways. \"That friend of yours is interesting...\"\n\nPeach glanced at him. \"Yes, she's my best friend.\" she says softly. She luckily was able to walk by herself, with very few wobbles.\n\n\"Interesting,\" Wadsworth said as they went along. \"She looks a bit taller than you... Is she older than you?\"\n\n\"No, I'm older.\" Peach says. She twisted her engagement ring nervously.\n\n\"Nice...\" Wadsworth remarked, keeping her close, then caught something in the corner of his eye and looked down to see the engagement ring.\n\nPeach looked nervous and blushed. The ring was obviously a Wonka ring, it had Wonka nerds in the gem part.\n\n\"I guess you won a golden ticket, eh?\" Wadsworth inspected the ring.\n\nPeach looked nervous, but didn't move her hand in case he tightened his. \"Lavender did... I was the adult to go with her...\" she says quietly.\n\n\"Interesting...\" Wadsworth sounded obsessed with 'Miss Peach's' connection with Willy Wonka himself.\n\nPeach gave a gentle gulp. \"I hope I can live long enough for the wedding... I don't want to die here.\" she whimpers.\n\n\"Oh, you shouldn't worry about that...\" Wadsworth grinned eerily.\n\nPeach looked at him with wide eyes. \"What do you mean?\" She asks softly.\n\n\"That Mr. Wonka fell in love with a fair maiden.\"\n\nPeach moved her hand away nervous. \"Thank you.\" she says though blushed, due to the compliment.\n\n\"You must feel pretty lucky, eh?\"\n\nPeach gave a small smile. \"Yes, I never believed Willy would ever fall for me, or anyone for that matter.\" she says softly.\n\nWadsworth continued to smile as he kept something in his pocket, but he didn't unleash it just now. \"I always loved those Everlasting Gobstoppers... I wonder how he gets them to last forever...\"\n\nPeach looked at him. \"It", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 242258, "pt_loc": 105323359, "pt_shuffle_idx": 67633899, "doc_index_f": 106028899, "doc_index_l": 106028899, "offset_f": 9339, "offset_l": 11387, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 29, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": " PHP.\n\nIf you're using the AutoRegenerateCSSJS plugin the CodeMerger util will automatically be called for each type on every page load.

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

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

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

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

Now I will leave you two alone for a while. I know that you want to be alone.\" Linda said with a grin and a wink. Then she went down the stairs and closed the trap door over her head. \"Alone at last,\" Jessie said as she came to Rachel and took her into her arms. Jessie felt Rachel's arms encircle her and she closed her eyes as their lips met. Their lips barely touched before they parted and then they kissed again. They kissed and kissed this way as their hands caressed each others backs and then asses. Jessie then backed away a bit and she took Rachel's tee shirt into her hands and pulled it over her head. She then unhooked her bra and pulled it off. She bent down and took Rachel's left nipple into her mouth. She sucked it into her mouth and teased the nipple with the tip of her tongue. She heard Rachel moan and then she felt her begin to pull her blouse up. Jessie let Rachel's nipple fall from her mouth only long enough for her blouse to be pulled off. She then went back to Rachel's breasts, caressing them with her hands and sucking on them with her mouth. She felt Rachel unhook her bra and off it came. She then felt Rachel's hands searching for her breasts and finding them. She felt Rachel squeeze them and pinch and pull on her nipples. This made Jessie suck harder on the breast that her mouth was currently on. Jessie then felt Rachel's hand under her chin and she raised her head. Rachel put her hand behind Jessie head and brought her in for a kiss. Jessie opened her mouth and she felt Rachel's tongue enter it. Jessie sucked on the tongue and caressed it with her tongue. Their hands went down to each other's waists and they were unsnapping each other jeans and pushing them down. They got them to their thighs and the pushed each other's panties down. Their fingers found each other's pussies and they began to stroke each other. Jessie could feel that Rachel was very wet and her fingers slipped right on in Rachel's pussy. She heard Rachel moan into her mouth and when Rachel's' fingers slipped into her pussy, she too moaned. They stroked each other's pussies as they kissed and Jessie could feel Rachel's' pussy leaking juices by the gallons and she wanted a taste. Jessie pulled her fingers from Rachel's pussy which brought a groan from Rachel. She then broke off the kiss. Jessie took Rachel by the hand led her over to the bed. She gently eased her down on her back. Jessie looked down at Rachel beautiful body. Her face was flush and her breathing was shallow and rapid. She looked down at Rachel's pussy and saw that it was a bright pink and wet. Jessie smiled as she came to the bed and she kissed Rachel as she got on the bed. The kiss was soft and sweet and when it ended, Jessie turned around and put her knees to each side of Rachel's chest. She bent down and using her fingers she opened Rachel's pussy. She inhaled the musky aroma coming forth from that pussy then she lowered her head to Rachel's pussy and began to lick. She licked up the juices that were on the outer lips and drank them down. As she did this, she felt a finger at her pussy. It moved up and down the slit slowly going deeper. Jessie moaned into Rachel's pussy as she licked it. The finger at her pussy slowly made its way to the entrance of her core. It played at the entrance before slowly slipping inside. Jessie moaned again and she opened Rachel's pussy more and she slipped her tongue inside of Rachel. She heard a moan come from Rachel. She also felt the finger begin to move in and out of her pussy. It felt good to have Rachel inside of her. The finger started to fuck her as she felt Rachel's mouth lick at her clit. Jessie licked harder as she felt her insides start to churn. She knew that Rachel was going to make her cum soon so she slipped a couple of fingers inside of Rachel's pussy and started to fuck her as her mouth went to her clit. She sucked it into her mouth and teased it with her tongue. Jessie felt a second finger enter her pussy stretching it open. Jessie shivered and sucked harder on Rachel's clit. She didn't want to have her orgasm before she brought Rachel to orgasm. They fucked and sucked for another minute or two before she felt the first wave of her orgasm hit her. She felt Rachel's pussy clamp down on her fingers and she knew that Rachel was cumming too. Jessie removed her fingers from Rachel's pussy and replaced it with her mouth drinking up her girlcum but then her orgasm hit her full force and she collapsed on top of Rachel. When she recovered from her orgasm, Jessie turned back around in the bed and she lay beside of Rachel who was still glowing from her own orgasm. She slipped her arms around her and pulled her in tight. She kissed her cheek and they lay there for a few minutes just enjoying the feeling of being held by the one they loved the most. \"Oh god, that felt good. I needed you so much.\" Rachel said quietly. \"Me too, I have been thinking of doing this all day. I just figured that we would have to wait until tomorrow and do it.\" Jessie said as she kissed Rachel tenderly. \"How much time do we have until dinner?\" Rachel asked. \"Let me see.\" Jessie said as she looked for and found her watch on the floor. \"About two hours, I guess.\" \"Good, hold me tight.\" Rachel said as Jessie did just that. They feel asleep soon afterwards and slept for an hour before Jessie was awaken by kisses to her face and lips. \"Oh that is nice.\" Jessie said as she pulled in tight and returned the kisses with passion. They kissed and caressed each other bodies and when their fingers found each other's pussies, they began to stroke each other. Their fingers probed and pulled and caressed until they both shuddered from an orgasm. They then just kissed the time away. \"You know we had better get up and get ready.\" Jessie said and then continued with, \"We don't want to be late for supper tonight. I have enough licks of the strap coming as it is.\" \"Oh god, don't remind me, I got a few myself. Me and my damn elbows on the fucking table, you know that is a stupid rule. Plus I was late for a class. Then I got a C on a test. My ass is in for a licking tonight.\" \"Mine too; I got the desk thing and a B on a test. I don't want to even think about it. But remember I will be with you.\" Jessie said as she kissed Rachel. \"I will be with you too. Hey why don't we meet here as soon as our elders go to sleep tonight? Then we will be able to consol each other.\" \"I was thinking the same thing. I knew I loved you for some reason.\" Jessie said with a little laugh. They got up and went to the sink, where Jessie stopped up the sink and let some warm water run into it. She then soaped up a washcloth and got down on her knees in front of Rachel. She watched as Rachel opened her legs and Jessie began to wash her pussy. She washed all the left over girl cum from her pussy then she rinsed the washcloth and she wiped the soap from Rachel's pussy. Jessie could not help to bend forward and kiss Rachel beautiful bare pussy. She wanted to do more but they were running out of time. So she got up and Rachel took the washcloth from her. Jessie spread her legs as Rachel soaped the washcloth. She watched as Rachel got down in front of her and then she felt the warm cloth against her pussy. She felt a contented sigh come from her throat. Rachel was so tender with her washing that Jessie hated for it to end but it did. She felt Rachel's lips touch her pussy with a sweet kiss. They dressed and headed for the trapdoor in the floor. Rachel went down first and then Jessie followed. Once Jessie was past the door, she reached up and closed it. When she got off the ladder, Rachel moved the trash can back into place. Jessie went to the peep hole and she saw a couple of girls at the end of the hall going out of their room and as soon as they were gone, she called the all clear. She started to open the door when she found herself being spun around and Rachel pinned up against the door. Rachel gave her a sweet smile and then she came in for a kiss. Jessie put her hand to the back of Rachel's neck and held her in place as they kissed. Jessie moaned a bit from the passion that Rachel was kissing her with. They both knew that in an hour or so they both would be hurting from a spanking and this was their last kiss before that happened. The kiss went on for what seemed forever but then Rachel finally broke the kiss. \"I love you.\" She told Jessie. \"I love you too.\" Jessie replied.

I just figured that we would have to wait until tomorrow and do it.\" Jessie said as she kissed Rachel tenderly. \"How much time do we have until dinner?\" Rachel asked. \"Let me see.\" Jessie said as she looked for and found her watch on the floor. \"About two hours, I guess.\" \"Good, hold me tight.\" Rachel said as Jessie did just that. They feel asleep soon afterwards and slept for an hour before Jessie was awaken by kisses to her face and lips. \"Oh that is nice.\" Jessie said as she pulled in tight and returned the kisses with passion. They kissed and caressed each other bodies and when their fingers found each other's pussies, they began to stroke each other. Their fingers probed and pulled and caressed until they both shuddered from an orgasm. They then just kissed the time away. \"You know we had better get up and get ready.\" Jessie said and then continued with, \"We don't want to be late for supper tonight. I have enough licks of the strap coming as it is.\" \"Oh god, don't remind me, I got a few myself. Me and my damn elbows on the fucking table, you know that is a stupid rule. Plus I was late for a class. Then I got a C on a test. My ass is in for a licking tonight.\" \"Mine too; I got the desk thing and a B on a test. I don't want to even think about it. But remember I will be with you.\" Jessie said as she kissed Rachel. \"I will be with you too. Hey why don't we meet here as soon as our elders go to sleep tonight? Then we will be able to consol each other.\" \"I was thinking the same thing. I knew I loved you for some reason.\" Jessie said with a little laugh. They got up and went to the sink, where Jessie stopped up the sink and let some warm water run into it. She then soaped up a washcloth and got down on her knees in front of Rachel. She watched as Rachel opened her legs and Jessie began to wash her pussy. She washed all the left over girl cum from her pussy then she rinsed the washcloth and she wiped the soap from Rachel's pussy. Jessie could not help to bend forward and kiss Rachel beautiful bare pussy. She wanted to do more but they were running out of time. So she got up and Rachel took the washcloth from her. Jessie spread her legs as Rachel soaped the washcloth. She watched as Rachel got down in front of her and then she felt the warm cloth against her pussy. She felt a contented sigh come from her throat. Rachel was so tender with her washing that Jessie hated for it to end but it did. She felt Rachel's lips touch her pussy with a sweet kiss. They dressed and headed for the trapdoor in the floor. Rachel went down first and then Jessie followed. Once Jessie was past the door, she reached up and closed it. When she got off the ladder, Rachel moved the trash can back into place. Jessie went to the peep hole and she saw a couple of girls at the end of the hall going out of their room and as soon as they were gone, she called the all clear. She started to open the door when she found herself being spun around and Rachel pinned up against the door. Rachel gave her a sweet smile and then she came in for a kiss. Jessie put her hand to the back of Rachel's neck and held her in place as they kissed. Jessie moaned a bit from the passion that Rachel was kissing her with. They both knew that in an hour or so they both would be hurting from a spanking and this was their last kiss before that happened. The kiss went on for what seemed forever but then Rachel finally broke the kiss. \"I love you.\" She told Jessie. \"I love you too.\" Jessie replied. Jessie then took another look out the peephole and finding the hallway clear, she opened the door and they hurried out and started downstairs.

Previously, my setup involved three sensor stands (two works but three was optimal) all taking up USB slots, a USB slot for the old Rift, and an HDMI slot.

Two wires are less of a chore to move around, unplug, and manage, especially if you need to use your singular DisplayPort input for something else (I tested direct DP and the included Mini DisplayPort adapter, but as for an HDMI converter connection, Oculus warns that they are not officially supported). For the past several years I dreaded having to move the Rift anywhere but now that fear is gone: next stop, tethers. During my tests I didn't have any major issues with the sensors they work just as well as the pedestal sensors, if not better, as you don't need a finicky third unit behind you to get better room-scale support.

How much that's worth is up to you.

But so-called \"AAA\" VR titles like Robo Recall\u00a0(one of my \"must-plays\") do look new and improved, as does Rez Infinite\u00a0and several other heavy-hitters. It's either an enthusiast upgrade (the same folks who buy the new iteration of a console) or a perfect new way to slide into the Rift (after all, the original units are going, going, already gone, so this is the flagship SKU from today on).\n\nAnd that really sums up the Rift S, because I spoke at length about the joyous shock of experiencing modern VR when 1.0 hit\u00a0and how it was worth getting one then. If you already bought into Oculus with the Rift, you probably don't need to run out and get the S.

Check out their new Wicked Kitchen range, a collaboration with plant chef Derek Sarno. The range uses plants in a variety of ways, making all the meals taste amazing (trust me, I\u2019ve tried them!) but without the negative effects of meats. Gone are the days of weird-tasting fake meats \u2013 this is a real deal.

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

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

The classes were small, 2 to 30. A department\nhead was often the teacher and was readily available for help. This was a\ngood time to be in college because there weren't any jobs, anyway, and the\ncost was low, lower than living elsewhere. In my junior year, my room was\n$1.50 a week, and my meals were a $1 a day (or some work). A car could even\nbe had for $10; it didn't have to have insurance; and a license was $3.\n My degree is a bachelor of arts. By avoiding engineering, I had time\nfor English, philosophy, psychology, history and German. I believe that the\ngeneral academic program is as important as career preparation, not to\nmention the social life of campus living: dances, music, teas, walks along\nWhite Clay Creek and football games at Fraser Field.\n I was introduced to the possibilities of independent research at the\nUniversity of Delaware. The University gave me a small private lab in the\nnew chemistry building, Brown Laboratory, and I had use of any apparatus\nbelonging to the physics department. Using a small plate camera, a\nplanometer and a small allowance for materials, I proceeded to measure the\nsize of some heavy molecules and write a thesis, all without credit, just\nfor the pleasure of doing it. I was also a student assistant in the physics\ndepartment, as well as the only physics major.\n Another example of the ideal University atmosphere at Delaware was\nthat the second in command in the physics department, Mr. Wilson, was\nstudying for his Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania in atomic and\nnuclear physics. In the '30s, this was the leading edge, and he taught us\n(our class of two persons) whatever he learned. Grades were assigned before\nclasses started, and we met at the Deer Park, sitting around a table.\n All this led to a fellowship at the University of Maryland with more\nfundamental research and a career at Bell Telephone Laboratories, where the\nlearning never stops. I will always be grateful for the start I got at\nDelaware in a career that has been a real joy.<|endoftext|>Sunday, January 28, 2018\n\nGraphic Novel: a game review\n\nSYSTEM: Graphic Novel\n\nTL;DR version: Graphic Novel is not a game that I would enjoy. There are some nice world-building elements that you can steal for your games. However, the mechanics are so loosey-goosey that they make me wonder why you'd buy this as a game rather than as some GM advice. That being said, I suspect that those who find it works find that it works well.\n\nThis is less a review and more of a personal reaction.\n\nGraphic Novel calls itself \"A Free Form Supers Roleplaying Game\" and it certainly is free-form. That grants a lot of freedom to the players, which is generally a good thing. However, I think I can summarize the mechanics in five points. I'll try, without infringing on the text (except for the term \"Destiny Points\").\n \u2022 Describe your character.\n \u2022 Give your character the number of Destiny Points decided on for the campaign.\n \u2022 When it's important, roll a d20. High numbers good, low numbers bad. How good or bad depends on your view of the character's competence in that area, but 20 is always success, 1 is always failure.\n \u2022 If the result is bad, you can spend a Destiny Point to re-roll as many times as you have Destiny Points.\n \u2022 You get one Destiny Point back per hour, or when you do something that \"fulfills your Destiny.\"\nCould this work? Of course. And if it works for you, great. As Abraham Lincoln reputedly said, \"For those who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they will like.\"\n\nIt is too free-form for me.\n\nAs a GM who has gotten into arguments with players in several different systems, the third point is an issue. Expertise for rolls is decided from the vantage point of the character, so Awkwardman might succeed on that roll to defuse the nuclear bomb only on a 19 or 20, while Reed Richards might succeed on a roll of 5-20.\n\nThe fifth point is also problematic: do you get Destiny Points back at one per hour of game time (\"You sleep for 8 hours, so you have 8 Destiny Points back\") or one per hour of play time (\"I know we elided over a month in game, but you spent your last Destiny Point ten minutes ago\"). I presume it's the former, but the game doesn't say.\n\nIt also doesn't tell you to define your destiny: writing it down has to be inferred from the rest of the text. (My question to the author didn't get answered directly; maybe I misunderstood the response, but my question about the answer hasn't been answered.)\n\nThe game does provide a lot of fluff, though: it has names of various people, organizations, and cities that you can plunder for your own game.\n\nProduction values are low, but I suspect that's intentional. It looks like it is meant to evoke an older, simpler age of gaming, with self-published and mimeographed gaming aids.\n\nSo for me (and I speak only for me), it's not useful as an art object, and it's not useful as a game system. It is useful to me as a source of fluff. Is it six bucks worth of useful? Not for me, but others differ.\n\nSo, final verdict: not for me. I hope that this brief discussion tells you whether or not you'll enjoy it.\n\nJails in Ontario\n\n\nSo as a result of a recent brush with the legal system and a side comment while playtesting this current adventure, I thought, \"So the Bruce Nuclear Response Team has the authority to arrest people. I wonder where they go?\"\n\nThat led me into the hole that is the Ontario Correctional System. The short answer to my original question is, \"They get put into jail in Owen Sound.\" (I think. There's some ambiguity there: the Wikipedia page lists the Owen Sound Jail as active, but the Ontario Corrections page doesn't.) And for gaming that should be sufficient.\n\nIt turns out, though, that there are several layers to this particular onion. In Ontario, there are a number of types of things we lump together as jails:\n \u2022 There are jails. This is short term holding. Technically, we still spell it \"gaol\" for the names of some of the older facilities.\n \u2022 There are detention centres. These are the same thing, but while jails were originally set up by counties, detention centres are more modern. Both are administered by the province, now.\n \u2022 A correctional centre holds anybody whose sentence is under two years (that is, if your sentence is two years less a day, you go to a detention centre). If your sentence is two years or more, they move you to the federal system.\n \u2022 There are correctional complexes. These are centres that hold both detention centres and correctional centres.\n \u2022 Federally there are correction facilities.\n\nAnybody who knows better can correct me.\n\nFriday, January 26, 2018\n\nInvestigation in games\n\n\nThis is actually specific to ICONS but it could be adapted for any game with a degrees-of-success mechanic.\n\nInvestigation is sort of odd in games. For some games (the various GUMSHOE games, for instance), it's their jam. For other games, it's a roll to give people the info so they can get on to the next encounter.\n\nSo you can roleplay the investigation, with the players talking to various characters and hours of playtime can go by, and that's great, if everyone's on board with that.\n\nOn the other hand, you can reduce it to a roll or a series of rolls and have a handout or handouts for the players, and it's done quickly. \"You spend two hours researching shipping companies, and this is what you get.\"\n\nSometimes you want one, sometimes you want the other. And if you're writing an adventure to be played by anyone other than the group you know, then you have to take both mindsets into account.\n\nI don't know if anyone else produces adventures with areas where there are investigation or similar tests. What I've noticed that I have started doing is this:\n\nTopic (whatever the test is about\nDifficulty3 or 5 or whatever\nPyramid test?No or Optional or Required\nTimeHow long is this test going to take? Sometimes the time is implicit in the task.\nEverybody KnowsThis is the background information. Bombs are bad, the Noble family has three kids. You barely have to ask this stuff.\nMarginal SuccessDo they get information on a marginal success?\nModerate SuccessAnything for Marginal Success, plus whatever is here.\nMajor SuccessAnything for the previous two successes, plus whatever is here.\nMassive SuccessAnything for the previous successes, plus whatever is here.\nConsequencesThis might be obvious.

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

I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m going to say and I would appreciate the readers being my temporary research assistant and putting all the details in the comments section. Maybe if one of my new heroes cruises through here he will add his thoughts, cause he has got his own personal encyclopedia walking next to him as an invisible friend.\n\nHenry Kissinger is a loathsome toad. I think that pretty much covers everything that need be said. He is the prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of Nelson Rockefeller, another one of the most evil men of the last century. He and his brother David are book-ending demons on one of the shelves in Hell\u2019s library, where those so inclined go to read for a few hours of torment. Henry probably was a regular there. It\u2019s where he came from.\n\nThere are some pure psychopaths that you can spot just by looking at them. Donald Rumsfield is one, Ehud Barak and Olmert also. Henry Kissinger is one. Henry gives me the impression of a creature that burrows through the brains of dead serial killers in search of special nutrition; my doctor says I\u2019m low on Sinisterium. Sinisterium is the protein that allows you to murder millions and not be depressed about having fallen short of your goals. Although the AMA says that this protein is not essential for rounded human health it does promote long life and it also combines with other proteins to create any number of unknown syntheses, of which there is not a great deal of documentation.\n\nHenry is one of those special few who, like Cheney, Bush and most Israeli leaders, could be arrested in foreign countries. That\u2019s not likely to happen yet but there is no question that will become a reality fairly soon. It\u2019s yet one more side effect of The Apocalypse.\n\nHere are a few quotes by Henry, \u201cAccept everything about yourself - I mean everything, You are you and that is the beginning and the end - no apologies, no regrets.\u201d \u201cI am being frank about myself in this book. I tell of my first mistake on page 850.\u201d \u201cThe illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer.\u201d \u201cThe longer I am out of office, the more infallible I appear to myself.\u201d \u201cThe nice thing about being a celebrity is that, if you bore people, they think it's their fault.\u201d \u201cThe security of Israel is a moral imperative for all free peoples.\u201d These comments, measured against his actions, make him appear like a bi-polar Oscar Wilde with a butcher knife.\n\nHere are some comments \u2018about\u2019 Henry Kissinger; \u201c'Former Nixon aide Charles W. Colson, the Watergate victim who spoke out clearly about conspiracy in high places, has said that Nixon told him as early as December 18, 1973, that Kissinger 'is really unstable at times'.\u201d \u201c'He's got us all buffaloed. He can (and will) lift your security, get you a foundation black ball, bong you at the colleges, put you in Coventry. He's got spies in every department. He's running the Ministry of Fear. All of his phones are tapped and he keeps long dossiers.'\u201d \u201c'Thanks to the sworn testimony of Guerzoni, Italy and Europe but not the U.S. learned that Kissinger was behind the death of Aldo Moro. This tragic affair demonstrates the ability of the Committee of 300 to impose its will upon any government without exception. Secure in his position as a member of the most powerful secret society in the world, and I am not talking about Freemasonry, Kissinger not only terrified Moro, but carried through on his threats to 'eliminate' Moro if he did not give up his plan to bring economic and industrial progress to Italy. In June and July of 1982, the wife of Aldo Moro testified in open court that her husband's murder came about as a result of serious threats against his life, made by what she called 'a high ranking United States political figure'. Mrs. Eleanora Moro repeated the precise phrase reportedly used by Kissinger in the sworn testimony of Guerzoni. 'Either you stop your political line or you will pay dearly for it'. Recalled by the judge, Guerzoni was asked if he could identify the person Mrs. Moro was talking about. Guerzoni replied that it was indeed Henry Kissinger as he had previously intimated.'\u201d Let\u2019s make a new paragraph for appearances sake. Okay?\n\n\u201c'In any case, by 1971 Henry had become, as the Times noted, virtually 'all-powerful in the sprawling sector of the government which seeks to advise the President on national security matters. His dominance of the expanded, 110-member National Security Council was so complete that he controlled every piece of intelligence to reach the President from the State Department, the Defense Department, and the Central Intelligence Agency.'\u201d \u201c'In my book Hank Kissinger is a suspicious, fearful misanthrope surrounded by people who are compelled to maintain a low profile to keep their jobs. I'd sooner dig ditches than work for him again.'\u201d \u201c'Phyllis Schlafly and Rear Admiral Chester Ward (U.S.N-Ret.) produced an exhaustive study of Kissinger deeds, misdeeds, and mentality. Their 800-page analysis, Kissinger on the Couch, concludes that Kissinger is obsessed with both megalomania and defeatism. They contend he is a man so driven by a lust for power that he would lie to anyone, including the President, to achieve a goal.'\u201d \u201c' Another example of the influence of the CFR can be seen in the meteoric rise of Henry Kissinger. In 1955, Kissinger was merely another unknown academic who attended a meeting at the Marine Corps School at Quantico, Virginia, hosted by then presidential foreign affairs assistant Nelson Rockefeller. This meeting was the start of a lengthy friendship between the two culminating in a $50,000 outright gift to Kissinger from Rockefeller. Kissinger soon was introduced to David Rockefeller and other prominent CFR members. Through the CFR, Kissinger obtained funding and entree to ranking officials of the Atomic Energy Commission, the three branches of the military, the CIA, and the State Department. He used this access to produce a best-selling book entitled Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy, in which he argued that a nuclear war might be 'winnable.' By the time of Nixon's administration, Kissinger was secretary of state, and he remains a formidable force in world affairs.'\n\nAnd finally, this, \u201c'From my experience I believe Elvis was a puppet, a pawn, and in the end totally directed, and finally, used by these men in control of him....After awhile Elvis couldn't function any longer. Henry (Kissinger) and his buddies laughed and said that Elvis was like the tin man, all rusted up and ready for the junkyard. They waited for him to become seriously dysfunctional from the increasing amount of drugs prescribed by his doctors. Then they 'stopped his ticker so he didn't have to suffer no more.'\u201d\n\nLooks like I didn\u2019t have to write about Kissinger after all because all I really want to say is that he is a loathsome toad. He and Little Georgie Sorrows are also book-ending demons in Hell\u2019s Library, bearing many similarities of character.\n\nI don\u2019t know if it was Kissinger or The Crown who compromised Christopher Hitchens but it bears thinking about if these things interest you.

I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m going to say and I would appreciate the readers being my temporary research assistant and putting all the details in the comments section. Maybe if one of my new heroes cruises through here he will add his thoughts, cause he has got his own personal encyclopedia walking next to him as an invisible friend.\n\nHenry Kissinger is a loathsome toad. I think that pretty much covers everything that need be said. He is the prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of Nelson Rockefeller, another one of the most evil men of the last century. He and his brother David are book-ending demons on one of the shelves in Hell\u2019s library, where those so inclined go to read for a few hours of torment. Henry probably was a regular there. It\u2019s where he came from.\n\nThere are some pure psychopaths that you can spot just by looking at them. Donald Rumsfield is one, Ehud Barak and Olmert also. Henry Kissinger is one. Henry gives me the impression of a creature that burrows through the brains of dead serial killers in search of special nutrition; my doctor says I\u2019m low on Sinisterium. Sinisterium is the protein that allows you to murder millions and not be depressed about having fallen short of your goals. Although the AMA says that this protein is not essential for rounded human health it does promote long life and it also combines with other proteins to create any number of unknown syntheses, of which there is not a great deal of documentation.\n\nHenry is one of those special few who, like Cheney, Bush and most Israeli leaders, could be arrested in foreign countries. That\u2019s not likely to happen yet but there is no question that will become a reality fairly soon. It\u2019s yet one more side effect of The Apocalypse.\n\nHere are a few quotes by Henry, \u201cAccept everything about yourself - I mean everything, You are you and that is the beginning and the end - no apologies, no regrets.\u201d \u201cI am being frank about myself in this book.

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

The traditional contention is that, whatever other beneficial qualities it may have (which need not and should not be glossed over), gay sex is in fact bad for us, and that, whatever suffering it may involve us in, chastity (as traditionally understood) is good for us.\n\n A logical parallel occurs in the film 'Breaking Away,' where the main character pretends to be an Italian exchange student to impress a college girl; eventually, he confesses, and she is understandably hurt and angry, and leaves him: serious and real suffering follows on doing the right thing, whereas mutual delight existed while the lie remained in effect. That delight wouldn't have lasted, and we can see why; the traditionalist assertion is that the good things involved with gay sex won't last either. Lying is, obviously, not much like homosexuality; and I will say frankly that, for me personally, it takes a lot more faith to believe that gay sex is wrong than to believe that lying is wrong -- I have *no* intuitive sense of the wrongness of gay sex. But the parallel, that doing what's objectively good can hurt like hell, seems to me to stand.\n\n 4) I think wariness of comparisons is appropriate. All of them break down somewhere. I don't much like drawing this particular comparison, given the disgusting history of many traditionalists and ex-gay proponents implying or asserting that homosexuality and pedophilia naturally overlap. But I draw the comparison only in the one aspect of wanting *something* they can never licitly have.

By that, I don't mean just \"how do you expect to code this\" (a challenge, but probably not an insurmountable one) but that your claim that \"the visual appearance of the edit conflict is not important\" may be over-stated. For such a system to work, there would need to be some way of presenting it that allowed:\n\n 1. a casual reader to still understand the article\n 2. an editor, preferably even one with little experience, to understand the existence and nature of the edit conflict\n 3. an editor, again preferably even an inexperienced one, to see how to correct the conflict\n\nThe first point is in some ways both the most important and the most challenging: if an edit conflict is left behind by two inexperienced (or rushed/lazy) editors, a visitor must be able to read the entire article without being distracted by the existence of the conflict. It could be hidden away on a seperate page (\"This page has conflicting versions\") but what version would then be presented to a visitor, and what would the user be given to edit? And how would we prevent edit conflicts proliferating as naive users edited on top of a version which was in a state of quantum indeterminacy?\n\nThe second and third points are important if the new system is to have value over the current one: it must be less confusing for new users, not more; and result in more definitive changes, not more TODO items in the 'pedia.

While my gut feeling is just \"make the current interface and explanation nicer\", it is always useful to look at alternative approaches to things, and evaluate them on their own merits. It puts me somewhat in mind of an idea that's drifted around my head for a while of a kind of pre-moderation mode wiki, where prospective changes could be stored, awaiting official approval, and further changes would build up on top of these prospective versions - perhaps it is this similarity that worries me, since it would seem to block the natural flow of the raw wiki process.\n\nI'll shut up now, and let others join the discussion.

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

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

The shrimp topped off the aesthetically-pleasing pile nicely, and though the flavor of the shrimp did not disappoint, the meal could benefit from a more generous portion of the seafood.\n\nHouse specialities are offered during lunch and dinner, the former for a lesser price, and feature land and sea entrées complemented with fresh vegetables and herbs and all served with a cup of white rice. The Spicy Fish ($14.95) is a whole de-boned striped bass, deep-fried, topped with a mildly-hot chili sauce with sweet tones. Crispy basil leaves are as thin as paper and dress up the dish aesthetically, however, do not add much to the overall taste of the dish. The fish is served warm, moist and flakes away from itself with ease. The flavor of the fresh bass and the delicious chili sauce pair well and make the dish outstanding from other entrées. It certainly is deserving to be on the list of house specialities.\n\nSpicy curry dishes are offered with nine different accompaniments, including traditional chicken and vegetables, to lessoften seen squid and duck. The Panang Curry with scallops ($13.95) comes served in a deep dish, piled high with long baby corn, sliced carrots, large stalks of broccoli, green peppers, a few shredded lime leaves and a modest amount of medium-sized scallops with the curry flavoring in a warm sauce at the bottom. The vegetables are freshly steamed; the scallops are plump and juicy, and while they do not provide a strong fish-flavor, the curry makes up for any lack of taste. The curry sauce is the highlight of this dish; with such great taste, it seemingly would dress up any of the land, sea or vegetable options nicely.\n\nVegetarians are catered to with special offerings including Veggie Pad Thai, Veggie Fried Rice and Vegetable Delight with mixed vegetables in season, stir-fried with garlic sauce, tofu and sliced ginger. The menu also notes that several non-vegetarian soups and main dishes can be prepared meatless. Being that not many of the meals at Thai Time use dairy products, it can be expected that vegans will also find a generous amount of options to choose from.\n\nThai Time is a quiet gem that should not be overlooked. The staff is friendly, welcoming and provide a relaxed atmosphere, not rushing diners, while at the same time, being prompt. Don’t expect cheap American food, but rather eastern inspired meals that are priced for what you get – something a little different for the area, something of quality.<|endoftext|>Home Page\nwater fire air earth\nHome Page\n\nw/b 24th May\n\n\n\nLesson 1 - Goal: To share objects into equal groups\n\nImagine that you are going on a picnic with five\u00a0other people.

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

Amazingly they all knew exactly how far away it was and exactly where to stand and nobody tripped or tumbled down it, my heart was in my throat for a while. The walls were grey and equally prison blockesque. The floors had lines of bright paint in different colours to aid those students who are not completely blind in navigating their way around the school. To me, they looked like they were painted by some communist regime to force everyone into remembering how happy they ought to feel. \u00a0The classrooms had little or no decoration on the walls as personalising the learning environment in such a way hardly seems appropriate given the circumstance. Wall mounted moribund TV's hang from old brackets on the wall, the kids don't even know they are there and their power cords dangle away unplugged as a perfect sad metaphor.\u00a0In short, very depressing.\n\n\nAfter one term of thinking how great it would be to be able to take pictures and document this experience and the lives of these kids, I finally plucked up the courage to ask if I could shoot there and was delighted when the teacher got back to me with a green light on behalf of the school and students concerned and releases were fine.\u00a0 It is an oft heard ideal in photojournalism that one should not affect or in any way impact upon the subject and just report and collect what is there to be seen as though invisible. Although a nice idea, I have always found this somewhat paradoxical as surely by your very presence in a situation, one can't help but alter it. It's akin to walking through a field of freshly fallen snow and then turning around and pretending not see your own footprints. This situation was truly unique in that regard however. The students I worked with were fully aware who I was and we had started to build good relationships. They knew what I was doing in general and I told them myself to make it all clear. That said, because of their blindness, they typically didn't know exactly when I was or wasn't shooting as I had opted for a very quiet camera set up so as to not disturb anyone. Initially I wrestled with the ethical side of the situation a few times, it felt uncomfortable at first but it wasn't the reason that I had initially gone there and I had been given full permission to shoot and had already started to form good bonds with the subjects. I was keen to portray them without taking any of their dignity and I had to abandon several of my own pre-determined misconceptions along the way. They weren't just 'blind kids', they were kids I knew and I worked with them daily at school.\u00a0 I was the only Westerner available to volunteer for the school during this period which made me something of an odd one out. The other teachers around the school gradually went from looking at me with some suspicion to smiling at me as the volunteer guy who always has a camera with him. I didn't realise it at the time but looking back through some of the shots now, it seems to be as though I truly were the invisible man and my presence didn't cause any change in the subjects or their actions. I moved to keep out of their way and I felt them flowing around me as I shot, an outsider hidden within and no one else around on my side of the equation. \u00a0I perhaps felt like a thespian on stage who turns to deliver his soliloquy to an audience only to find that there\u2019s nobody in the theatre.

If you've never learnt how to dev black and white film but like the idea of shooting it, I highly recommend taking the time to learn. It's not that hard and the initial outlay is far from expensive. The chemicals last for a ridiculously long time and suddenly this kind of film photography becomes a whole lot cheaper and you are no longer relying on other people, which is always good in life. There's also something special about being involved in the back end of the process and not just the shooting, you become more well rounded in your work and gain greater insight into what is going right or wrong with your technique. There are countless pages and video tutorials devoted to this subject all over the web so I shan't add one here.

Practically no one actually works 8 hours per day, let alone more than that. And except for a very few occasions, nobody needs to. Most people do a couple of tasks a day, spend a couple of hours working, and try to pretend like they are working the rest of the time. This is no one's fault, but a consequence of a corporate environment that looks down upon anyone that doesn't sit patiently at their desk for the complete duration of every work day. Remote work has provided us with an amazing opportunity to increase our productivity and have more free time to dedicate to other important projects and areas of our life: family, sport, or any creative project that you may have. Not only that, but you'll also perform better in your day job.\n\nRemote work has provided us with an amazing opportunity to increase our productiveness and have more free time to dedicate to other important projects and areas of our life: family, sport, or any creative project that you may have.\n\nParkinson's law\n\nI recently came across an old adage that perfectly illustrates why most people at most 9 to 5 jobs are extremely inefficient: Parkinson's law states that work expands to fill the amount of time alloted to it. In simple terms, this means that whatever amount of time you have designated to complete a task, you'll most likely spend that exact amount completing it (or more). This happens not because we are sensational estimating machines, but rather because we suck at it, and tend to overestimate the amount of time that a task will take. For example, if you have 5 things that you need to do in a particular workday, you'll probably spend 8 hours doing them, even if you could've done it in two. In that sense, the wise thing to do is to loosely estimate how long a task will take, write it down, and try to complete it in that amount of time. You'll find out that you don't work nearly as many hours as you thought (except maybe for a couple of particularly heavy days), and that you can shorten your actual workday by half or even more. To be clear: this does NOT mean that you'll get less done or slack off and fail to meet deadlines. That's not the point. The point is that you can be much more efficient if you are aware of Parkinson's law and start completing tasks more quickly, instead of inflating them to fill out your 8 hour workday. This was really tricky before, when the bossman was constantly looking over your shoulder to see what you were doing, but with remote work agreements, you can implement this method without much trouble. Remember, this is a method to do MORE than before, not less, while having the added benefit that you'll have a couple of free extra hours to do whatever you want to do.\n\nParetto's law\n\nThis one is a very well known law of economics, that states that in almost any field and endeavor, 80% of the outputs come from 20% of the inputs. 80% of all wealth is owned by 20% of the people (or even less). 80% of all sales within a company come from 20% of the products. 80% of your income is determined by 20% of your actions. You can apply it almost everywhere, and it's a brilliant law to keep in mind to help you prioritize and assign value to the different things that you have to do day to day. In practical terms, it means this: most of the things you normally do have little to no effect in the outcomes, and some very few things have a massive effect. Focus on those main things and do them to the best of your ability, and you'll be generating massive results with not too much effort. This law helps us identify those key inputs and work on them, while ignoring those time-consumign tasks that do not really matter in the long run.\n\nHow to apply this knowledge\n\nThe whole point of this article was to give you strategies to be more productive, not merely share some laws about the nature of work, so here's how you can apply these laws to increase your productivity exponentially:\n\n1) Make a schedule: At the beginning of each day, list down all the things that you need to get done that day. Write down estimates for how long it will take you to complete them (aim to be precise but don't give yourself too much time for each task, remember Parkinson's law). Write it down as a checklist, and make sure to finish all the tasks by the end of the day.\n\n2) Focus on one particular task at a time: One thing that distracts you massively is multitasking. It is much more effective to focus on one specific thing and doing it quickly. Don't get distracted by your phone, email, or other pressing tasks.\n\n3) Prioritize: Be very aware of which tasks are essential and which are not. Do the important ones first (obviously).\n\n4) Leisure time: The whole point of being more productive is to have more free time while also performing well at work. Mix in some leisure time with the work related stuff that you have to do daily, to help minimize stress and have a balanced life.\n\n5) Do things right: Have some common sense. Don't simply ignore your boss because you finished your tasks for the day. These tips work, but you have to have some criteria to know when to work and when not to work. I know it's dumb that sometimes you have to sit at your desk merely pretending to work, but such is life, and getting fired isn't going to do you any good. And also, be good at your job. Your boss will be more lenient with you if you do your work right and on time.\n\nRemember these two laws and these five tips and you'll soon find out that you'll get more done, and you'll do it better than before, with the added benefit of having more time to work on your side project or creative endeavor, more time to be with your loved ones or more time to read, work out, and do things that are beneficial for you on a larger scale.\n\n32 views0 comments\n\nRecent Posts\n\nSee All<|endoftext|>Question: Who was the director of Evergreen?\nAnswer: Victor Saville<|endoftext|>Original Sound\n\nHow is your recognition towards the so-called \u201cperfect sound re-production\u201d or \u201cperfect sound performance\u201d?

But they have different rules about taxes on contributions and withdrawals, what happens if you need to take money out before retirement, and other things that can affect which account type you might be better off contributing to. We\u2019ve answered some of the top frequently asked questions about the differences between Roth and traditional to help you decide. (Calculator: Traditional vs. Roth )\n\nIs there a difference in how much I can contribute to a Roth vs. a traditional IRA?\n\nThe maximum yearly contribution to traditional and Roth IRAs is $6,000 for 2020. Those 50 and older can make an additional catch-up contribution of up to $1,000 to their traditional or Roth IRA, as well. In the case of a Roth, you may not be eligible to contribute that much, however, depending on your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) or your filing status.\n\nThere have been recent changes by Congress that have eliminated age limits for IRA contributions. Additionally, ages for required minimum distributions were also extended to 72. (Related: SECURE Act changes to retirement rules)\n\nCan I contribute to a Roth or traditional IRA no matter how much I earn?\n\nNo, at least for Roth IRAs. For married couples filing jointly in 2020, the ability to contribute to a Roth IRA is eliminated when modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) reaches $206,000. For taxpayers who are filing single or head of household, in 2020 the ability to contribute is eliminated when MAGI reaches $139,000. For taxpayers who are married but filing separately, the ability to contribute is eliminated when MAGI reaches $10,000.\n\nCalculate MAGI by adding to adjusted gross income", "base_doc": " tasks. Here are some easy tactics that you can apply to your own worklife to be much more productive while needing half the time.\n\nLet me tell you a little secret. Practically no one actually works 8 hours per day, let alone more than that. And except for a very few occasions, nobody needs to. Most people do a couple of tasks a day, spend a couple of hours working, and try to pretend like they are working the rest of the time. This is no one's fault, but a consequence of a corporate environment that looks down upon anyone that doesn't sit patiently at their desk for the complete duration of every work day. Remote work has provided us with an amazing opportunity to increase our productivity and have more free time to dedicate to other important projects and areas of our life: family, sport, or any creative project that you may have. Not only that, but you'll also perform better in your day job.\n\nRemote work has provided us with an amazing opportunity to increase our productiveness and have more free time to dedicate to other important projects and areas of our life: family, sport, or any creative project that you may have.\n\nParkinson's law\n\nI recently came across an old adage that perfectly illustrates why most people at most 9 to 5 jobs are extremely inefficient: Parkinson's law states that work expands to fill the amount of time alloted to it. In simple terms, this means that whatever amount of time you have designated to complete a task, you'll most likely spend that exact amount completing it (or more). This happens not because we are sensational estimating machines, but rather because we suck at it, and tend to overestimate the amount of time that a task will take. For example, if you have 5 things that you need to do in a particular workday, you'll probably spend 8 hours doing them, even if you could've done it in two. In that sense, the wise thing to do is to loosely estimate how long a task will take, write it down, and try to complete it in that amount of time. You'll find out that you don't work nearly as many hours as you thought (except maybe for a couple of particularly heavy days), and that you can shorten your actual workday by half or even more. To be clear: this does NOT mean that you'll get less done or slack off and fail to meet deadlines. That's not the point. The point is that you can be much more efficient if you are aware of Parkinson's law and start completing tasks more quickly, instead of inflating them to fill out your 8 hour workday. This was really tricky before, when the bossman was constantly looking over your shoulder to see what you were doing, but with remote work agreements, you can implement this method without much trouble. Remember, this is a method to do MORE than before, not less, while having the added benefit that you'll have a couple of free extra hours to do whatever you want to do.\n\nParetto's law\n\nThis one is a very well known law of economics, that states that in almost any field and endeavor, 80% of the outputs come from 20% of the inputs. 80% of all wealth is owned by 20% of the people (or even less). 80% of all sales within a company come from 20% of the products. 80% of your income is determined by 20% of your actions. You can apply it almost everywhere, and it's a brilliant law to keep in mind to help you prioritize and assign value to the different things that you have to do day to day. In practical terms, it means this: most of the things you normally do have little to no effect in the outcomes, and some very few things have a massive effect. Focus on those main things and do them to the best of your ability, and you'll be generating massive results with not too much effort.

We need to fight terrorism, but the way trhe Bush administration has gone about it has actually made us less secure from terror. If we had just ignored Iraq and put the equivalent forces into Afghanistan, we could have monitored every damn hole and tunnel on the Afghan-Pakistan border and probably eliminated bin Ladien and all his associates. Iraq has brought us nothing but shame and grief.\n 18.

When I passed the station this morning, pre-daylight, it was $1.63.9; at noon, it was $1.81.9.\n\nWith world oil prices steadily falling, at one point dropping under $35 per barrel, why the 48-cent increase?\n\nAs far as I can determine, there has been no shortage of oil or gasoline; in fact, despite OPEC reducing its output, the worldwide financial crisis continues to dampen petroleum demand, so much that huge oil tankers have been parked at sea, and the Energy Information Administration has forecast a decline in world oil consumption of 800,000 barrels per day in 2009.\n\nNo supply interruptions have occurred; tensions rose in the Mideast as a result of the battling between the Israelis and Palestinians, but there are no reports of any interference with oil shipments in the region.\n\nNo hurricanes or other natural disasters have occurred; the extreme winter has increased demand for heating oil in northern states, but not enough to cause such a spike in gas prices.\n\n\u201cBecause they can,\u201d a co-worker surmised as the reason for the oil companies pushing prices upward.\n\nActually, industry observers say, the reason for the increase is that U.S. refiners weren't making enough profit, so they cut supplies and raised wholesale prices (it would be churlish, one supposes, to wonder what happened to the billions in profits refineries were raking in not so long ago).\n\nAnalysts say each 1-cent increase in the price of gasoline takes $1 billion away from spending by U.S. consumers on other goods and services.\n\nAll of which emphasizes even more the volatility of anything petroleum-based and the urgent need for this country to get busy and try and atone for the last three decades of doing basically nothing to free us from imported oil.\n\nWhich is going to be done, says our new president, Barack Obama, who took one step in that direction with new federal rules requiring auto companies to develop vehicles that get more miles per gallon and are less polluting.\n\nWhich was met with the usual moaning and groaning by auto manufacturers, who recently trooped to Capitol Hill to seek billions in government bailouts, and who contend the requirements would further push up the cost of vehicles that they can't sell anyway because people don't have jobs or can't get credit.\n\nHorse apples, say engineers and other experts who know the industry \u2014 manufacturers already have the know-how and technology to meet higher mileage standards, but they've ignored fuel efficiency in favor of cranking out high profit, high horsepower, gas-guzzling SUVs and pickup trucks that buyers now don't want.\n\nSome industry analysts say the additional cost per vehicle would be only in the $400 to $800 range, which would be recouped in fuel savings over two years, even with gasoline at $1.50 per gallon.\n\nIt's expected the manufacturers, despite their protests, will comply in order to stay on the good side of their lender of last resort, Uncle Sam.<|endoftext|>Question: What genre is Edward Bird?\nAnswer: genre painting<|endoftext|>\ufeffVietnam visa for American - Vietnam Visa Q&As\n\nAnswer your questions\n\nPromptly and conscientiously\n\nVietnam visa for American\n\nAmerican visiting Vietnam less than 30 days must apply for visa?\n\n\nHien Nhan\n\n\nDear Ms. Hien Nhan,\n\nPlease be informed that a valid visa is required for all American citizens to travel to Vietnam regardless of how long their stay in Vietnam is.\n\nAs an American citizen, you have two options to apply for a visa to Vietnam:\n\n1.

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

When I passed the station this morning, pre-daylight, it was $1.63.9; at noon, it was $1.81.9.\n\nWith world oil prices steadily falling, at one point dropping under $35 per barrel, why the 48-cent increase?\n\nAs far as I can determine, there has been no shortage of oil or gasoline; in fact, despite OPEC reducing its output, the worldwide financial crisis continues to dampen petroleum demand, so much that huge oil tankers have been parked at sea, and the Energy Information Administration has forecast a decline in world oil consumption of 800,000 barrels per day in 2009.\n\nNo supply interruptions have occurred; tensions rose in the Mideast as a result of the battling between the Israelis and Palestinians, but there are no reports of any interference with oil shipments in the region.\n\nNo hurricanes or other natural disasters have occurred; the extreme winter has increased demand for heating oil in northern states, but not enough to cause such a spike in gas prices.\n\n\u201cBecause they can,\u201d a co-worker surmised as the reason for the oil companies pushing prices upward.\n\nActually, industry observers say, the reason for the increase is that U.S. refiners weren't making enough profit, so they cut supplies and raised wholesale prices (it would be churlish, one supposes, to wonder what happened to the billions in profits refineries were raking in not so long ago).\n\nAnalysts say each 1-cent increase in the price of gasoline takes $1 billion away from spending by U.S. consumers on other goods and services.\n\nAll of which emphasizes even more the volatility of anything petroleum-based and the urgent need for this country to get busy and try and atone for the last three decades of doing basically nothing to free us from imported oil.\n\nWhich is going to be done, says our new president, Barack Obama, who took one step in that direction with new federal rules requiring auto companies to develop vehicles that get more miles per gallon and are less polluting.\n\nWhich was met with the usual moaning and groaning by auto manufacturers, who recently trooped to Capitol Hill to seek billions in government bailouts, and who contend the requirements would further push up the cost of vehicles that they can't sell anyway because people don't have jobs or can't get credit.\n\nHorse apples, say engineers and other experts who know the industry \u2014 manufacturers already have the know-how and technology to meet higher mileage standards, but they've ignored fuel efficiency in favor of cranking out high profit, high horsepower, gas-guzzling SUVs and pickup trucks that buyers now don't want.\n\nSome industry analysts say the additional cost per vehicle would be only in the $400 to $800 range, which would be recouped in fuel savings over two years, even with gasoline at $1.50 per gallon.\n\nIt's expected the manufacturers, despite their protests, will comply in order to stay on the good side of their lender of last resort, Uncle Sam.<|endoftext|>\ufeffVietnam visa for American - Vietnam Visa Q&As\n\nAnswer your questions\n\nPromptly and conscientiously\n\nVietnam visa for American\n\nAmerican visiting Vietnam less than 30 days must apply for visa?\n\n\nHien Nhan\n\n\nDear Ms. Hien Nhan,\n\nPlease be informed that a valid visa is required for all American citizens to travel to Vietnam regardless of how long their stay in Vietnam is.\n\nAs an American citizen, you have two options to apply for a visa to Vietnam:\n\n1.

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

In my case the Canon 1DIII is a boat anchor. A fabulous camera but, none the less, a boat anchor. To those that need it, well I'm sure it is a needed tool but I feel sorry for them... but then again I presume they have staff to haul all the weight around.\n\n\nAwesome post...partly because I love Canon...and the 1DIII...and I still sometimes use my 10D, 20D and 5DMk1. ...but such an honest assessment of the reality of camera tech upgrades as the pertain to \"the overriding input device\".

All those new features, bells and whistles.\n\nBut the rub is: there's always a learning curve, and often new equipment to support it's use.\n\nWhen it comes to workflow, I'm yet to find the equal of Pixmantec's Raw Shooter Pro. It provides me the necessary and sufficient set of features. But not for my Pentax K-7: it came out after Raw Shooter was purchased by Adobe, and discontinued. So although the K-7 is a delight, and has worked flawlessly for a number of years, it's a bit like the curate's egg.\n\nFunnily enough, I'm just about to return my dream camera, after something of a bad run, with equipment failures. By contrast, my first dSLR, the 6MP Pentax *istD, still functions happily, and is my backup. (Well it is due another CLA.)\n\nI still own and use my old Kodak DCS Pro SLR/n. It is still the only camera I trust fully in hard summer sunlight. My friends call the camera the Fat Bastard. When they see the pics, they shut up. If I had the opportunity to get a good used (6 mp I think) 760, I'd snap it up.\n\nThe new DSLRs, even though I own them, have too much junk on them for my liking. I'd give my eye teeth for a digital Nikon FM with no crap on it, but with he need to sell whiz bang bells and whistles, I doubt if that would ever happen. The Kodak has limitations. With the original batteries, the camera can get gently warm after 12 jpegs. Still, I live the thing.\n\nHappy New Year BTW ;-)\n\nI'm still using a 6 megapixel DSLR. In fact, if someone offered me an 8,10 or 12 megapixel DSLR for free, I'd take it. I don't see the need for 18 or 21 megapixels, as I rarely print larger than 8 by 10, and usually just use my photos for wallpaper on my PCs.\n\nSo, anyone who wants to dispose of an ancient digital camera, email me.. ;)\n\nWell I'm not tired of my Leaf Aptus 75S and ive had it since May, 2008. Coming up on four years I'm not even tempted to trade it up to the 80 megapixel version. Why you say ? Simple no dough.\n\nBut I am thinking about a cheap 4x5 like an old Calumet CC-400 and one lens probably a 210mm. Why you ask ? There's just no digital camera that makes as pretty a picture when conditions are just right. And 4x5\nis fun !\n\nHaving just edited several old 6MP files from 10D, I was amazed by how bad the image quality was. 5D2 file are definitely easier to edit. The same is true for having live view option vs. depending only on the viewfinder. Each picture taking opportunity is unique, so it makes sense to use the best possible gear to take the photos.\n\nOf the DSLRs I've owned, my favorite and the one I still occasionally use is the Olympus E-1. Only 5 Mpixel, lethargic is too kind for the write speed, ISO 800 is about the highest I like to shoot with it ...\nBut it is such a sweet camera in the hand, so quiet and smooth, so responsive to the shutter, and those are the nicest 5 Mpixels I can imagine.\n\nI've moved away from using DSLRs mostly, I've gone to the much smaller, lighter, quieter mirrorless TTL bodies, but I will hang onto my E-1 and enjoy it for years to come. It's a digital SLR classic already.\n\nWhile you're right, I don't think you will be in a few years. Let me explain...\n\nI had a D70 back in the day, and I replaced it as soon as I could. I had to switch to a Canon 20D, but I got better resolution and much better high ISO and autofocus. I was glad to trade up, but I continued to be frustrated.\n\nI eventually got a Nikon D700, and for once felt that I was free of compromise. The D700 gave me resolution that seemed better than my experience with film, high ISO that was amazing, and better than any film, and AF like I'd never seen. Best of all, it had a full frame chip.\n\nNow, almost 4 years later, I have no interest in replacing the camera. Soon there will be a body with better everything... Resolution, noise, AF, etc. but I won't care. I have yet to encounter a situation where I want or need anything more than I have. When the next camera after that comes, I won't care then either. 12MP and easily usable ISO 6400 *is* really all I need.\n\n7 years ago, cameras were still in pursuit of being genuinely good enough. They could do great things, but they involved compromises one wouldn't care to make today. 3 1/2 years ago, cameras got there, at least for me. And in 3 1/2 years, I'd gladly take that D700. I plan to still be using mine. I'll replace it, to be sure. But where I replaced my 3 previous DSLRs because I found them lacking, I'm certain I'll replace the D700 only when it dies and I absolutely have to.\n\nI would take it, make a picture of the box with my old Pentax and post it on FB to tell everyone I have one ...\n\nI love digital photography. I hate digital cameras.\n\nWith the technology continually evolving, there is always the need to upgrade at some point, although I am still shooting with a Canon 40D.\n\nIn 1981, I bought a Minolta XD7, XD11 in the US, and it gave me 25 years of good service, including several years as a press photographer, shooting in all weathers. I covered football, soccer for American readers.\n\nI remember pouring water out of the camera when I came to unload the film after an evening game at Gigg Lane, Bury, when it rained continually for the duration of the match. I left the camera to air out overnight and it functioned perfectly the next day. I doubt my Canon 40D would survive such an ordeal.\n\nI echo the person who longs for a digital Nikon FM. I would happily settle for the digital equivalent of my old Minolta but not one made by Sony. I like my cameras made by camera companies not firms who make TV sets.\n\nYou probably think I am old school. Wrong. I am from the school they tore down to build the old school. Old Larry Sanders joke but still a good one.\n\nI'm also looking forward to the full frame DSLRs that should finally be announced this year (somebody please make a top notch 50/1.4 and 85/1.8 to stick on the camera), but if someone gave me a new Olympus E-1 for free, I wouldn't regift it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So I have no idea where this film is headed, who's going to die, who's going to get their back broken, and how Selina Kyle is going to figure into the narrative. But I saw Bane tonight. I also saw a stunningly complex, practically-staged action sequence in IMAX. And while I'd love to break it down beat-by-beat, Warner Bros. has asked all journalists to stick to generalities. So... Nolan introduced tonight's event, and he extolled the immersive virtues of the IMAX format before plunging us into footage - which starts in 35mm widescreen with Gordon eulogizing Harvey Dent. Then we're being whisked across a field. And a few minutes later, aboard a plane, we hear Bane speak for the first time in a horrible, strangled tone. Tom Hardy's Bane is a substantial, but strangely broken man. He's a bruiser, but not exactly massive. He also struggles with his elocution, which may be intentional, but nevertheless resulted in lots of puzzled post-screening discussions. Honestly, I caught probably half of Bane's dialogue, and every colleague I spoke with had similar difficulty understanding him. I hate to cause problems for Nolan at this stage of the filmmaking process, but if Bane sounds like this throughout the film, it could be an issue.\" Source: Mr. Beaks review of Nolan's Inception - the most overrated movie of all time, beating even Avatar - where he talks about \"calculated risk\" with a whole different light: \"INCEPTION is Christopher Nolan's reward for a commercial assignment profitably executed: the opportunity to realize on a grand scale an idea that has intrigued him for the better part of a decade. In the studio tit-for-tat equation, this is the \"one for me\". It's the reason you start making movies in the first place. It's LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. APOCALYPSE NOW. GANGS OF NEW YORK. It's the the movie you stake your career on. It's the movie you make now. For most filmmakers, this project is a gamble; for Christopher Nolan, it's a shrewdly calculated risk. Though the narrative speeds ahead like a rapidly unfolding lucid dream, INCEPTION uses the familiar vernacular of the heist film to keep less attentive audiences engaged. Unlike other films that traipse across the boundless landscape of the unconscious mind, it's not a take-it-or-leave-it proposition. The central concept is simple: plant an idea in a character's mind in order to manipulate them into behaving in the best interest of a rival party. The particulars may be complex, but there's an emotional logic that drives the story forward. There are also wildly compelling action set pieces.

This film cost $220 mil. That makes it one of the most expensive films of all time. And when you have an epic 25+ minute pure action scene with money shot after money shot like the last battle of The Avengers, well, what exactly tops this? Dark of the Moon? Lord of the Rings? The entire LOTR trilogy only cost a bit more than this single film. This wasn't a cheapie film at all. The numbers prove that, and my opinion is it looked like the money was on screen. In fact, this film overwhelmed me with a sense of epic awesomeness I haven't felt since Avatar, Dead Man's Chest and King Kong 2005 (not saying those films are masterpieces, just that they both had set pieces that were big in idea and execution).\n\n \u2022 April 30, 2012, 7:27 p.m. CST\n\n Moosemalloy that is.\n\n by Kill List Hammertime\n\n \u2022 April 30, 2012, 7:31 p.m. CST\n\n the first 30 minutes are awkward but ...\n\n by julia\n\n but i think that feeling relies on the expectations you have since the movie starts.

I will not blindly go slap my money down at the box-office just because it is a superhero property. I'm glad that I waited to see both THOR and CAPTAIN AMERICA on disc rather than sit through them in the theater. I would have felt cheated and more importantly bored out of my mind if I had. But seriously, a Euro first release for THE AVENGERS?

This letter could also be used to represent /i/, the close front unrounded vowel, mainly in foreign words.\n\nThe Greeks adopted a form of this Phoenician yodh as their letter iota (\u27e8\u0399, \u03b9\u27e9) to represent /i/, the same as in the Old Italic alphabet. In Latin (as in Modern Greek), it was also used to represent /j/ and this use persists in the languages that descended from Latin. The modern letter 'j' originated as a variation of 'i', and both were used interchangeably for both the vowel and the consonant, coming to be differentiated only in the 16th century.[3] The dot over the lowercase 'i' is sometimes called a tittle. In the Turkish alphabet, dotted and dotless I are considered separate letters, representing a front and back vowel, respectively, and both have uppercase ('I', '\u0130') and lowercase ('\u0131', 'i') forms.\n\nUse in writing systems\n\n\nIn Modern English spelling, \u27e8i\u27e9 represents several different sounds, either the diphthong // (\"long\" \u27e8i\u27e9) as in kite, the short /\u026a/ as in bill, or the \u27e8ee\u27e9 sound // in the last syllable of machine. The diphthong /a\u026a/ developed from Middle English /i\u02d0/ through a series of vowel shifts. In the Great Vowel Shift, Middle English /i\u02d0/ changed to Early Modern English /ei/, which later changed to /\u0259i/ and finally to the Modern English diphthong /a\u026a/ in General American and Received Pronunciation. Because the diphthong /a\u026a/ developed from a Middle English long vowel, it is called \"long\" \u27e8i\u27e9 in traditional English grammar.[citation needed]\n\nThe letter \u27e8i\u27e9 is the fifth most common letter in the English language.[4]\n\nThe English first-person singular nominative pronoun is \"I\", pronounced // and always written with a capital letter.

In serifed typefaces, the capital form of the letter has both a baseline and a cap-height serif, while the lowercase L generally has a hooked ascender and a baseline serif.\n\nThe uppercase I does not have a dot (tittle) while the lowercase i has one in most Latin-derived alphabets. However, some schemes, such as the Turkish alphabet, have two kinds of I: dotted (\u0130i) and dotless (I\u0131).\n\nThe uppercase I has two kinds of shapes, with serifs (I with crossbars.svg) and without serifs (I without crossbars.svg). Usually these are considered equivalent, but they are distinguished in some extended Latin alphabet systems, such as the 1978 version of the African reference alphabet.

But not until recent did this become reality. In fact, only 234 years ago, America did not exist; and not until around 100 years ago was it considered a superpower. How then, is it now the foremost nation in the world?\n\nIronically, America began as a humble extension of a nation. England wanted a piece of the newly discovered Americas, and countries like Spain and France had already scoured a good portion of its challenging, yet often bountiful terrain. Conflicts with other countries had prevented prior exploring, but England was determined to attain its share of this famous new land.

This work is slightly atypical from most ethnographic work in that the central focus of my study, the culture surrounding the vinyl record format, transcends particular genres of music or particular locales. This study is meant to focus on how a \u201cmethod\u201d of listening to music creates a community rather than how a certain \u201cscene\u201d or \u201csound\u201d shapes a community. In the late 1980s, the Compact Disc became the prevalent format for listening to and consuming music, at which time vinyl records fell out of mainstream listening culture leaving in its place the more portable, durable, and reliably clean-sounding CDs. Now CDs are on their way out to make way for digital download, but vinyl is still lingering in the hearts of many music fans (Pfeiffer 2007). Today, this shift in format means that anyone younger than roughly thirty years of age never knew vinyl records to be the industry standard for listening to music. From the 1980s up through the present, vinyl records are most importantly associated with hip-hop and DJing culture, where they are used as a palate from which to piece together new (and very influential music). Instead of focusing on the \u201ccreative\u201d aspect of vinyl culture, I chose to examine the \u201clistening\u201d aspect of vinyl culture\u2014the continuation of vinyl as a listening format into the age of digital music.\n\nMy research methods included interviewing five music-savvy youths ranging in age from late teens to early thirties, a young musician who just released a 45, and a seasoned record store employee, as well as visiting several record stores, independent, commercial, and virtual. My varied contacts, contributors, and locales were drawn from Tampa, FL, my hometown, and Providence, RI, my current location of residence, and the worldwide web, the occupant of a solid majority of my time. The purpose of all of this was to discover how vinyl factors into people\u2019s consumption of music, how it is marketed and presented in stores, and how it is brought into production by musicians.\n\nFirst off, I feel that it is useful to understand how records are made achieve an analog, non-digital sound. This distinction will be helpful to relate to how some of my interviewees describe listening to records. Here is a clip from Discovery Channel\u2019s \u201cHow It\u2019s Made\u201d which surfaced on and details the process of making a record:\n\nAnd here\u2019s a homemade video on how the needle of a record player \u201creads\u201d the actual record:\n\nThese days, the records that can be found in record stores are broken up into two different varieties, 33s and 45s. 33s, or 12-inch LPs, are long playing discs that usually contain 25 minutes of music on each side, spin on the turntable at 33 rotations per minute, and typically contain an entire album. 45s, or 7-inch records, are short discs with usually one or two songs on each side, spin at 45 rotations per minute, and typically contain a track that an artist considers a \u201csingle\u201d\n\nVinyl culture is still very alive today. Although vinyl is not as ubiquitous as CDs or digital downloads, it still has an important place in the music industry and with music fans. Many bands and record labels are making sure to have releases come out on vinyl as well as CD and digital download. Some of the larger \u201cindie\u201d labels such as Sub-Pop (home to The Shins, Iron & Wine, and The Postal Service), Matador (home to Cat Power, Belle & Sebastian, and Spoon), Nonesuch (home to Wilco and The Black Keys), and XL Recordings (Home to Devendra Banhart, Radiohead\u2019s Thom Yorke, and The White Stripes) all feature LP versions of many of there releases if not on their homepage, in there online store. Smaller \u201cindie\u201d labels such as Fat Possum and Alive Naturalsound Records make an even bigger deal about their vinyl releases. Alive often features their new releases in a vinyl format with an odd colored wax or a heavier pressing (such as 180g which means the record is more durable and will last longer).\n\nImages of special \"limited\" colored pressing of Alive's band Brimstone Howl.\n\nThis can well be seen at many commercial record stores. My visit to Newbury Comics at the Providence Place Mall revealed that even a commercial chain still reserves a small corner of their store for vinyl records. Most of the records were of new bands (with a large assortment of White Stripes vinyls) as well as some reissues of classic albums ranging from The Beatles to T. Rex. The selection was small but vinyl was present at even at a commercial outlet in a mall.\n\nIndependent record stores are a different story. The independent stores I\u2019ve visited such as Round Again Records and Tom\u2019s Tracks in Providence, as well as Vinyl Fever in Tampa provide a much larger selection with extensive inventories of used vinyl as well as crisp and neatly wrapped new-releases from all sorts of bands, as well as large selections of 45s. I found vinyl was featured much more prominently at independent stores who maybe couldn\u2019t compete with the prices of chain-stores like Newbury or FYE, especially in a market where in the past few years, CD sales have dropped due to digital downloads (legal and illegal).\n\nA view into Tampa's Vinyl Fever!\n\nNone of these stores could compare to the vast selection of used, new, and rare/vintage vinyl available on auction sites like ebay or multi-seller record store\n\nDespite vinyl's scattered representation in stores, the people I interviewed about vinyl had some similar feelings towards the format. In general, everyone that I talked to seemed to link to something that contributes to the authenticity of music (in-depth background on my interviewees can be found in my previous posts). Interviewees often mentioned playing vinyl sounding more \u201creal\u201d and creating a \u201cphysical connection\u201d with the music. Tampa-based WMNF DJ Arielle commented on a visceral reaction to the vinyl sound, \u201cI can\u2019t quite describe it, but the sound, it just gets to you in your gut.\u201d Matt from Tampa relates going to a record store and physically picking out records brings him closer to fans of a similar intensity and dedication, creating a physical connection not just between the band and the listener, but between multiple listeners. Doug, a music fan who doesn\u2019t own a record player, described vinyl as \u201cso much more tangible. You\u2019re holding a record.

How then, is it now the foremost nation in the world?\n\nIronically, America began as a humble extension of a nation. England wanted a piece of the newly discovered Americas, and countries like Spain and France had already scoured a good portion of its challenging, yet often bountiful terrain.

This necessarily meant (as they expressed) that the states develop actual arms of resistance to such encroachments. This, of course, shows, once again, the FEDERAL character and nature of our form of government: the states were not subservient to the federal government's dictates, but were coequal in power to protect their own authority and freedoms through their State Constitutions.\n\nThankfully, we are seeing a current resurgence of State activism to be the voice and arm of the people to protect and perpetuate the US Constitution. While the federal v. federal checks and balances have proven to be less than fruitful, the states today are taking their role more seriously in this regard, just as our founders and ratifiers demanded. It is this State power of active and passive nullification and resistance that will once again protect federalism and freedom in America. Therefore, it is this State power that affords us the best opportunity to defend liberty and restore constitutional government, and that we should expend most our energies to revive.\n\n3. Constitutional Amendment. The US Constitution requires three-fourths of the STATES to amend the Constitution. Most certainly this is an effective tool to reverse and prevent evils in government. Our founders expected that this process would protect freedom and the principles of freedom. However, as we have seen since 1865, the amendment process has been used only to increase national power and decrease State power. From the states being denied power in the Senate, to the income tax and \"privileges and immunities\" clause of the fourteenth amendment, the nationalists of the twentieth century have had their heyday by deepening their squeeze of national ideals over federal. Ironically, the attack on federalism has come through the same document protecting our federation: the Constitution. (The illegality of amendments being used to propagate principles contrary to freedom and federalism is for another article and discussion.)\n\nThat being said: if there were enough states to amend the Constitution to clarify federal doctrines, limit federal government power, and reinstitute original State powers, then it most certainly would be beneficial. Praise the day when such amendments would be ratified.\n\n4. Constitutional Convention. I have heard this method suggested by some in certain circles of the \"patriot movement,\" and while I understand the suggestion of calling a constitutional convention to rewrite the Constitution, I believe that to do so would likely create more problems than what we are dealing with today. However, there is a caveat, as explained below.\n\nTo convene a constitutional convention, states would have to send delegates (just as in 1787) for the purpose of discussing and drafting a Constitution. Not even getting into the legal issues and ramifications inherent in such a method, a very practical question is raised: Would a majority of the people convening at such a monumental event even possess the understanding, knowledge and belief needed to perpetuate and protect the principles of freedom and federalism? By virtue of what I see throughout the US today, I venture to say, No. I believe one of the greatest contributions to national ideals defeating federal ideals is that the people (including on State levels) do not understand, know or believe in the principles expressed by our founders and their forefathers.\n\nThus, to call a constitutional convention would most certainly place us in a worse situation. That said, there is one positive that could result from this. If the Constitution were re-written, it would require the ratification of the states that wanted to join a new union under a new contract (Constitution). In this case, it very well may provide a way for the people of the states to decide which path they wanted to take: national or federal. In other words, those states that yet wanted to live under Federalism and not Nationalism could reject the new compact and could declare themselves independent or seek to form yet another compact among like-minded states. (Of course, this could happen anyway, per number 2 above--even without a constitutional convention--making any proposed Con Con a dangerous and unnecessary action.)\n\n5. Revolution. Revolution simply means a change of power. For those who perceive such a term as being a bad thing, why do they not then demonize the current illegitimate system of national government, because this current system is not the one the states ratified back in 1787? If a squatter turns your property into his, are you not within your rights to remove him, his family, his friends and his belongings completely from your property?\n\nIt is a fact that Americans (nationalists, federalists and even monarchists) believed in the natural right of revolution--that every generation has the God-given right to effect change by revolution when change cannot be reasonably expected and effected through other more peaceful means.\n\nComing full circle, then: To what degree has the federal government usurped its powers? This question is crucial because, as our forefathers expressed, resistance should be enacted proportionally to the usurpation. While there may be some who think that \"it's not all that bad,\" I suggest that it is much worse than we think it is. We are at a point today when we are not only fighting for State sovereignty and a federal system, but we are fighting for national sovereignty (according to the LAWS OF NATIONS as expressed by enlightenment philosophers and jurists), against those who desire that the US become part of the global community.\n\nSubscribe to the NewsWithViews Daily News Alerts!\n\nEnter Your E-Mail Address:\n\nThe evidence around us is beyond reasonable doubt: we the people of the United States have been fraudulently denied our rights under the laws of Nature and Nature's God, and under the US Constitution. The rights to resist this tyranny already exist. The methods to choose federalism and freedom have their hands out, offering to help us. It is time we choose which method or methods will best reach the ultimate goal of freedom. And as I said, I believe a revival of State sovereignty--whereby states are resolved to exercise the authority they have per the terms of their charter (Constitution)--is the most attractive and effective method currently feasible to reclaim federalism and freedom in America.\n\nNote: Visit Tim's web site here.\n\n\n\ufffd 2009 Chuck Baldwin - All Rights Reserved\n\nE-mail This Page\n\nSign Up For Free E-Mail Alerts\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<|endoftext|>There are a lot of similarities in the grooming-cycle between narcissists and sociopaths and both have many similarities and overlap to predatory behavior and predators themselves \u2013 who will often be narcissists or sociopaths.

They both make you consistently feel like your perception is off and things are not at all what you originally thought they were. They skew your perceived view of reality and make you question or doubt your own sanity, coherence, and state-of-mind.

Here\u2019s where I\u2019ve noticed a difference, in hindsight. Whenever you call out or react with hostility at the tactics or a narcissist, they crumble, put on a show, becoming exorbitantly over-emotional, and try to make you feel awful for mistreating them as it was never their goal to hurt or offend you. They can feign support when they subtly intimate things that cause you guilt, remorse, or shame. A sociopath is cold, unbending, and utilizing denial. They return to the gaslighting and show care and love to reinforce your original loyalty towards them, stating emphatically how much you mean to them and how they\u2019d never do anything to hurt you.\n\nVictimhood. Both will play the pity card any chance they get when feeling they\u2019re being exposed or narrowed in on. They\u2019re always the center-of-attention and always find a way to take the spotlight off the actual victim and make it about them. They\u2019re the main sufferer and protagonist when something happens with their partner, child, parent, or sibling. They prey upon this and are masters at manipulating the narrative. However, narcissists lay blame at the feet of others wherever and whenever possible. Their therapist doesn\u2019t understand them. Their family is mean to them by cutting them off. If only things weren\u2019t the way they were, they\u2019d be better. Everybody abandoned them. Their loved ones are what makes them miserable.

While there may be some who think that \"it's not all that bad,\" I suggest that it is much worse than we think it is. We are at a point today when we are not only fighting for State sovereignty and a federal system, but we are fighting for national sovereignty (according to the LAWS OF NATIONS as expressed by enlightenment philosophers and jurists), against those who desire that the US become part of the global community.\n\nSubscribe to the NewsWithViews Daily News Alerts!\n\nEnter Your E-Mail Address:\n\nThe evidence around us is beyond reasonable doubt: we the people of the United States have been fraudulently denied our rights under the laws of Nature and Nature's God, and under the US Constitution. The rights to resist this tyranny already exist. The methods to choose federalism and freedom have their hands out, offering to help us. It is time we choose which method or methods will best reach the ultimate goal of freedom. And as I said, I believe a revival of State sovereignty--whereby states are resolved to exercise the authority they have per the terms of their charter (Constitution)--is the most attractive and effective method currently feasible to reclaim federalism and freedom in America.\n\nNote: Visit Tim's web site here.\n\n\n\ufffd 2009 Chuck Baldwin - All Rights Reserved\n\nE-mail This Page\n\nSign Up For Free E-Mail Alerts\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<|endoftext|>There are a lot of similarities in the grooming-cycle between narcissists and sociopaths and both have many similarities and overlap to predatory behavior and predators themselves \u2013 who will often be narcissists or sociopaths. I have intimate knowledge of the first two, studied the third intensely over the years. They may be of the \u201cnew person in your life\u201d variety or within your very family construct. Regardless, the progression is extremely subtle, even for the sharpest minds\u2026at times, completely invisible. Remember, this is from my experience \u2013 yours may be different. I have not researched much on this outside of my living in the midst of it and reflecting back on that living experience.\n\nGaslighting. They both make you consistently feel like your perception is off and things are not at all what you originally thought they were. They skew your perceived view of reality and make you question or doubt your own sanity, coherence, and state-of-mind. This includes expecting you to go along with their gas-lighting of others as to outward appearances, material wealth, perfection of the nuclear family. (all innocently, of course, in a \u201ckeep up with the Joneses\u201d manner. You can become paranoid and insecure in a hurry with both.\n\nGifts. To distract from their behavior or manipulations, they\u2019ll buy you lots of things, spend money on you, and buy your unconscious compliance. They believe they can overshadow their narcissism or agenda by appealing to your material or flattered side.\n\nImage result for sociopath images\n\nGuilt. Here\u2019s where I\u2019ve noticed a difference, in hindsight. Whenever you call out or react with hostility at the tactics or a narcissist, they crumble, put on a show, becoming exorbitantly over-emotional, and try to make you feel awful for mistreating them as it was never their goal to hurt or offend you. They can feign support when they subtly intimate things that cause you guilt, remorse, or shame. A sociopath is cold, unbending, and utilizing denial. They return to the gaslighting and show care and love to reinforce your original loyalty towards them, stating emphatically how much you mean to them and how they\u2019d never do anything to hurt you.\n\nVictimhood. Both will play the pity card any chance they get when feeling they\u2019re being exposed or narrowed in on. They\u2019re always the center-of-attention and always find a way to take the spotlight off the actual victim and make it about them. They\u2019re the main sufferer and protagonist when something happens with their partner, child, parent, or sibling. They prey upon this and are masters at manipulating the narrative. However, narcissists lay blame at the feet of others wherever and whenever possible. Their therapist doesn\u2019t understand them. Their family is mean to them by cutting them off. If only things weren\u2019t the way they were, they\u2019d be better. Everybody abandoned them. Their loved ones are what makes them miserable. Sociopaths do so in a more biting way, to wear-away the fabric of their victim\u2019s self-confidence. Side-handed insults. Critiques. Planted rumors to others. Cutting comments.\n\nIsolation.

All the others were cut short for one reason or another. The first got cut short when I moved to start university, two were put on hiatus due to hospitalisation and never got picked up again, one suffered a near TPK and would have needed serious retooling to continue, others faded due to player drop-outs (university can be a bitca for that, with study committments and such) and one or two due to GM burnout on my part.\n\nAs all of this suggests, I'm no expert at finishing campaigns, but I have learned a few lessons along the way which might help me more successfully end campaigns in the future. This post will be more about how to ensure a campaign actually reaches a conclusion as opposed to looking at how to handle the conclusion itself, but that might be a good topic to visit in a future post. Hmm...anyway, here goes:\n\n1) Plan For The Short TermSome campaigns can go on for years with no fixed end point in sight, with the players just running around having adventures in the sandbox that is the game's setting. If you have a group that can commit to that kind of long-term game, all well and good, but if you're anything like me, then you have a very limited timescale for running campaigns in. I run games at a university-based gaming society, which means I have to run within the confines of the academic year.\n\nI've always planned my campaigns as if they were 'seasons' of a TV show - the first game I ever ran was the Angel RPG, and the GM advice in that adopted a TV-style story structure - but I've learned to make them short seasons, more along the lines of Doctor Who or Spooks than US shows which generally run for 22 episodes per season. I have two semesters to run a whole campaign, knowing that I can't be sure of players' continued commitment over breaks or even into the next academic year. That gives me 8 weeks (minimum) per semester to run games, allowing for the possibility of breaks due to player absence or other unplanned for interruptions.\nSo I've learned that I need to set myself a hard limit of 12-16 sessions per season, with a mid-season hiatus for the Christmas break.\n\nThis doesn't mean I can't run a sandbox-style game, it just means I have to be aware of how long I have before I need to start steering things towards some kind of conclusion. It doesn't have to be utterly final, perhaps leaving an opening for another season if people are available and interested in continuing in the next academic year.\n\nKeeping it short (with breaks) also helps reduce the possibility of GM burnout becoming an issue. A big part of GM burnout (at least for me) is growing fed up with running the same old thing for too long.\n\n2) Know Your Endpoint and Pace Yourself Accordingly\nAgain, this is less relevant for sandbox-style play, but if you run structured, fixed-term campaigns like I do then your campaign should probably have some kind of end point built in. Your PCs have some sort of concrete plot-oriented goal to achieve, like defeating the big bad, exposing the conspiracy, or reaching the pit of doom to destroy the mystic macguffin. Knowing where the PCs should be at the end of the campaign, you can scatter the necessary clues or resources to help them get there. Knowing how long you have to run the campaign, you'll also know how many obstacles or side-quests to throw in along the way.\n\n3) Co-ordinate With Your Players\nI pushed my luck with the Doctor Who campaign last year and assumed I'd be able to squeeze in one last session after the exam period was finished to wrap up the campaign. As it turned out, one of my players had to head home very shortly thereafter and I didn't want to run a finale without everyone present. The result is that it's a year later and we still haven't had our finale for that game, and possibly never will.\n\nThis year, I've been careful to make my players aware of how many weeks I plan to continue the campaign for and been sure to keep up to date on what their plans are, so that I know what weeks they'll be available and how long they're willing to stick with the campaign overall. Luckily, most of the group has been willing to continue into the summer break if needed, but I've stuck to my hard limit of 16 sessions maximum and we're going to be wrapping up just before the exam period starts.\n\n4) Every Now And Then, Stop And Take Stock\nThis is more about fending off GM burnout than anything else, but recapping the campaign so far for yourself is a good way of finding your bearings again. Knowing both where you are in the campaign and what has gone before will help you figure out where to head next with the campaign, especially as you approach the end. It also might remind you of elements that you can reintroduce or make you aware of elements that can be removed entirely from play, which will either reinvigorate your campaign or get rid of things which are weighing you down needlessly.\n\n\nThese are just a few ways I've thought of for helping make sure I can finish a campaign, but as always if anyone has advice or thoughts of their own I'd be interested in hearing from them in the comments.

The unusual wedge-shaped tail of the X-15 realised extremely high levels of drag at low speeds, so the plane had to be dropped at heights of around 14,000 metres, before it ignited its own engines.

All the others were cut short for one reason or another. The first got cut short when I moved to start university, two were put on hiatus due to hospitalisation and never got picked up again, one suffered a near TPK and would have needed serious retooling to continue, others faded due to player drop-outs (university can be a bitca for that, with study committments and such) and one or two due to GM burnout on my part.\n\nAs all of this suggests, I'm no expert at finishing campaigns, but I have learned a few lessons along the way which might help me more successfully end campaigns in the future. This post will be more about how to ensure a campaign actually reaches a conclusion as opposed to looking at how to handle the conclusion itself, but that might be a good topic to visit in a future post. Hmm...anyway, here goes:\n\n1) Plan For The Short TermSome campaigns can go on for years with no fixed end point in sight, with the players just running around having adventures in the sandbox that is the game's setting. If you have a group that can commit to that kind of long-term game, all well and good, but if you're anything like me, then you have a very limited timescale for running campaigns in. I run games at a university-based gaming society, which means I have to run within the confines of the academic year.\n\nI've always planned my campaigns as if they were 'seasons' of a TV show - the first game I ever ran was the Angel RPG, and the GM advice in that adopted a TV-style story structure - but I've learned to make them short seasons, more along the lines of Doctor Who or Spooks than US shows which generally run for 22 episodes per season. I have two semesters to run a whole campaign, knowing that I can't be sure of players' continued commitment over breaks or even into the next academic year. That gives me 8 weeks (minimum) per semester to run games, allowing for the possibility of breaks due to player absence or other unplanned for interruptions.\nSo I've learned that I need to set myself a hard limit of 12-16 sessions per season, with a mid-season hiatus for the Christmas break.\n\nThis doesn't mean I can't run a sandbox-style game, it just means I have to be aware of how long I have before I need to start steering things towards some kind of conclusion. It doesn't have to be utterly final, perhaps leaving an opening for another season if people are available and interested in continuing in the next academic year.\n\nKeeping it short (with breaks) also helps reduce the possibility of GM burnout becoming an issue. A big part of GM burnout (at least for me) is growing fed up with running the same old thing for too long.\n\n2) Know Your Endpoint and Pace Yourself Accordingly\nAgain, this is less relevant for sandbox-style play, but if you run structured, fixed-term campaigns like I do then your campaign should probably have some kind of end point built in. Your PCs have some sort of concrete plot-oriented goal to achieve, like defeating the big bad, exposing the conspiracy, or reaching the pit of doom to destroy the mystic macguffin. Knowing where the PCs should be at the end of the campaign, you can scatter the necessary clues or resources to help them get there. Knowing how long you have to run the campaign, you'll also know how many obstacles or side-quests to throw in along the way.\n\n3) Co-ordinate With Your Players\nI pushed my luck with the Doctor Who campaign last year and assumed I'd be able to squeeze in one last session after the exam period was finished to wrap up the campaign. As it turned out, one of my players had to head home very shortly thereafter and I didn't want to run a finale without everyone present. The result is that it's a year later and we still haven't had our finale for that game, and possibly never will.\n\nThis year, I've been careful to make my players aware of how many weeks I plan to continue the campaign for and been sure to keep up to date on what their plans are, so that I know what weeks they'll be available and how long they're willing to stick with the campaign overall. Luckily, most of the group has been willing to continue into the summer break if needed, but I've stuck to my hard limit of 16 sessions maximum and we're going to be wrapping up just before the exam period starts.\n\n4) Every Now And Then, Stop And Take Stock\nThis is more about fending off GM burnout than anything else, but recapping the campaign so far for yourself is a good way of finding your bearings again. Knowing both where you are in the campaign and what has gone before will help you figure out where to head next with the campaign, especially as you approach the end. It also might remind you of elements that you can reintroduce or make you aware of elements that can be removed entirely from play, which will either reinvigorate your campaign or get rid of things which are weighing you down needlessly.\n\n\nThese are just a few ways I've thought of for helping make sure I can finish a campaign, but as always if anyone has advice or thoughts of their own I'd be interested in hearing from them in the comments. In any case, right now I'm probably sitting down to wrap up the Firefly campaign, so wish me luck with that and I'll see you again soon!\n\nNo comments:\n\nPost a Comment<|endoftext|>Rowan Atkinson\n\nMel Smith, the man who made me howl with laughter\n\nAs so many people have said, Mel Smith, who has died at the age of 60, was a comedy giant.

I completely lost the \u201cme\u201d who could judge anything at all, and within about ten minutes wound up crashing, or nearly crashing, into some large, moving object. So even as I need to push writing into my personal unknown, I also need to know if I\u2019ve succeeded. The way I measure this is through emotional truths. When I began Parsifal, as odd as it was, it felt grounded because in one way or another it was my story.\n\nDid you discover anything while working on Parsifal that surprised you in your own writing?\n\nParsifal was a very different kind of narrative than I\u2019d ever written. It began, as I said, with a context but very little information other than the name of the character. Given that, naturally I was worried whether I would find enough material to finish. What thrilled me in the process of writing was that after beginning with just a couple of motifs and hardly any plot, as I went along the details I needed were revealed to me by the process of writing. It was like one of those arcade driving games where you hold the steering wheel and new scenery keeps popping up. So the facts I was wondering about Parsifal\u2019s past would turn up as I wrote just about where they do for the reader in the final version of the book, and if they surprise the reader, they surprised me, too. It\u2019s as if the book itself was waiting for me to be ready before it would decide to open itself up and trust me with the story.\n\nFurther Links & Resources\n\nLiterary Partners<|endoftext|>Nelson asked Joseph to decorate the living room because Nelson is terrible at painting walls.<|endoftext|>born + raised (and still here) in vegas, us three sisters grew up in a little brick house on the east side of town. the number hammered onto our mailbox was 1825. we live only miles from each other now and get together as much as possible to play.\n\n\nWhat's your favorite store bought or homemade cleaning product?\n<|endoftext|>\n\n\nFrom Path of Exile Wiki\n(Redirected from Items)\nJump to: navigation, search\n\nItems in Path of Exile are used to represent not just a character's equipment but a variety of other game features.

The mullet also spawns early. The saupe spawns usually at the beginning of summer, but occasionally in the autumn. The aulopias, which some call the anthias, spawns in the summer. Next in order of spawning comes the chrysophrys or gilthead, the basse, the mormyrus, and in general such fish as are nicknamed 'runners'. Latest in order of the shoal fish come the red mullet and the coracine; these spawn in autumn. The red mullet spawns on mud, and consequently, as the mud continues cold for a long while, spawns late in the year. The coracine carries its spawn for a long time; but, as it lives usually on rocky ground, it goes to a distance and spawns in places abounding in seaweed, at a period later than the red mullet.

Specimens, however, of the fishing-frog are rare from the facility with which the young are destroyed, as the female lays her spawn all in a lump close in to shore. As a rule, cartilaginous fish are less prolific than other fish owing to their being viviparous; and their young by reason of their size have a better chance of escaping destruction.\n\nThe so-called needle-fish (or pipe-fish) is late in spawning, and the greater portion of them are burst asunder by the eggs before spawning; and the eggs are not so many in number as large in size. The young fish cluster round the parent like so many young spiders, for the fish spawns on to herself; and, if any one touch the young, they swim away. The atherine spawns by rubbing its belly against the sand.\n\nTunny fish also burst asunder by reason of their fat. They live for two years; and the fishermen infer this age from the circumstance that once when there was a failure of the young tunny fish for a year there was a failure of the full-grown tunny the next summer. They are of opinion that the tunny is a fish a year older than the pelamyd. The tunny and the mackerel pair about the close of the month of Elaphebolion, and spawn about the commencement of the month of Hecatombaeon; they deposit their spawn in a sort of bag. The growth of the young tunny is rapid. After the females have spawned in the Euxine, there comes from the egg what some call scordylae, but what the Byzantines nickname the 'auxids' or 'growers', from their growing to a considerable size in a few days; these fish go out of the Pontus in autumn along with the young tunnies, and enter Pontus in the spring as pelamyds. Fishes as a rule take on growth with rapidity, but this is peculiarly the case with all species of fish found in the Pontus; the growth, for instance, of the amia-tunny is quite visible from day to day.\n\nTo resume, we must bear in mind that the same fish in the same localities have not the same season for pairing, for conception, for parturition, or for favouring weather. The coracine, for instance, in some places spawns about wheat-harvest. The statements here given pretend only to give the results of general observation.\n\nThe conger also spawns, but the fact is not equally obvious in all localities, nor is the spawn plainly visible owing to the fat of the fish; for the spawn is lanky in shape as it is with serpents. However, if it be put on the fire it shows its nature; for the fat evaporates and melts, while the eggs dance about and explode with a crack. Further, if you touch the substances and rub them with your fingers, the fat feels smooth and the egg rough. Some congers are provided with fat but not with any spawn, others are unprovided with fat but have egg-spawn as here described.\n\n\nWe have, then, treated pretty fully of the animals that fly in the air or swim in the water, and of such of those that walk on dry land as are oviparous, to wit of their pairing, conception, and the like phenomena; it now remains to treat of the same phenomena in connexion with viviparous land animals and with man.\n\nThe statements made in regard to the pairing of the sexes apply partly to the particular kinds of animal and partly to all in general. It is common to all animals to be most excited by the desire of one sex for the other and by the pleasure derived from copulation. The female is most cross-tempered just after parturition, the male during the time of pairing; for instance, stallions at this period bite one another, throw their riders, and chase them. Wild boars, though usually enfeebled at this time as the result of copulation, are now unusually fierce, and fight with one another in an extraordinary way, clothing themselves with defensive armour, or in other words deliberately thickening their hide by rubbing against trees or by coating themselves repeatedly all over with mud and then drying themselves in the sun. They drive one another away from the swine pastures, and fight with such fury that very often both combatants succumb. The case is similar with bulls, rams, and he-goats; for, though at ordinary times they herd together, at breeding time they hold aloof from and quarrel with one another. The male camel also is cross-tempered at pairing time if either a man or a camel comes near him; as for a horse, a camel is ready to fight him at any time. It is the same with wild animals. The bear, the wolf, and the lion are all at this time ferocious towards such as come in their way, but the males of these animals are less given to fight with one another from the fact that they are at no time gregarious. The she-bear is fierce after cubbing, and the bitch after pupping.\n\nMale elephants get savage about pairing time, and for this reason it is stated that men who have charge of elephants in India never allow the males to have intercourse with the females; on the ground that the males go wild at this time and turn topsy-turvy the dwellings of their keepers, lightly constructed as they are, and commit all kinds of havoc. They also state that abundancy of food has a tendency to tame the males. They further introduce other elephants amongst the wild ones, and punish and break them in by setting on the new-comers to chastise the others.\n\nAnimals that pair frequently and not at a single specific season, as for instance animals domesticated by man, such as swine and dogs, are found to indulge in such freaks to a lesser degree owing to the frequency of their sexual intercourse.\n\nOf female animals the mare is the most sexually wanton, and next in order comes the cow. In fact, the mare is said to go a-horsing; and the term derived from the habits of this one animal serves as a term of abuse applicable to such females of the human species as are unbridled in the way of sexual appetite. This is the common phenomenon as observed in the sow when she is said to go a-boaring. The mare is said also about this time to get wind-impregnated if not impregnated by the stallion, and for this reason in Crete they never remove the stallion from the mares; for when the mare gets into this condition she runs away from all other horses. The mares under these circumstances fly invariably either northwards or southwards, and never towards either east or west. When this complaint is on them they allow no one to approach, until either they are exhausted with fatigue or have reached the sea. Under either of these circumstances they discharge a certain substance 'hippomanes', the title given to a growth on a new-born foal; this resembles the sow-virus, and is in great request amongst women who deal in drugs and potions. About horsing time the mares huddle closer together, are continually switching their tails, their neigh is abnormal in sound, and from the sexual organ there flows a liquid resembling genital sperm, but much thinner than the sperm of the male. It is this substance that some call hippomanes, instead of the growth found on the foal; they say it is extremely difficult to get as it oozes out only in small drops at a time. Mares also, when in heat, discharge urine frequently, and frisk with one another. Such are the phenomena connected with the horse.\n\nCows go a-bulling; and so completely are they under the influence of the sexual excitement that the herdsmen have no control over them and cannot catch hold of them in the fields.

Wild boars, though usually enfeebled at this time as the result of copulation, are now unusually fierce, and fight with one another in an extraordinary way, clothing themselves with defensive armour, or in other words deliberately thickening their hide by rubbing against trees or by coating themselves repeatedly all over with mud and then drying themselves in the sun. They drive one another away from the swine pastures, and fight with such fury that very often both combatants succumb. The case is similar with bulls, rams, and he-goats; for, though at ordinary times they herd together, at breeding time they hold aloof from and quarrel with one another. The male camel also is cross-tempered at pairing time if either a man or a camel comes near him; as for a horse, a camel is ready to fight him at any time. It is the same with wild animals. The bear, the wolf, and the lion are all at this time ferocious towards such as come in their way, but the males of these animals are less given to fight with one another from the fact that they are at no time gregarious. The she-bear is fierce after cubbing, and the bitch after pupping.\n\nMale elephants get savage about pairing time, and for this reason it is stated that men who have charge of elephants in India never allow the males to have intercourse with the females; on the ground that the males go wild at this time and turn topsy-turvy the dwellings of their keepers, lightly constructed as they are, and commit all kinds of havoc. They also state that abundancy of food has a tendency to tame the males. They further introduce other elephants amongst the wild ones, and punish and break them in by setting on the new-comers to chastise the others.\n\nAnimals that pair frequently and not at a single specific season, as for instance animals domesticated by man, such as swine and dogs, are found to indulge in such freaks to a lesser degree owing to the frequency of their sexual intercourse.\n\nOf female animals the mare is the most sexually wanton, and next in order comes the cow. In fact, the mare is said to go a-horsing; and the term derived from the habits of this one animal serves as a term of abuse applicable to such females of the human species as are unbridled in the way of sexual appetite. This is the common phenomenon as observed in the sow when she is said to go a-boaring. The mare is said also about this time to get wind-impregnated if not impregnated by the stallion, and for this reason in Crete they never remove the stallion from the mares; for when the mare gets into this condition she runs away from all other horses. The mares under these circumstances fly invariably either northwards or southwards, and never towards either east or west. When this complaint is on them they allow no one to approach, until either they are exhausted with fatigue or have reached the sea. Under either of these circumstances they discharge a certain substance 'hippomanes', the title given to a growth on a new-born foal; this resembles the sow-virus, and is in great request amongst women who deal in drugs and potions. About horsing time the mares huddle closer together, are continually switching their tails, their neigh is abnormal in sound, and from the sexual organ there flows a liquid resembling genital sperm, but much thinner than the sperm of the male. It is this substance that some call hippomanes, instead of the growth found on the foal; they say it is extremely difficult to get as it oozes out only in small drops at a time. Mares also, when in heat, discharge urine frequently, and frisk with one another. Such are the phenomena connected with the horse.\n\nCows go a-bulling; and so completely are they under the influence of the sexual excitement that the herdsmen have no control over them and cannot catch hold of them in the fields. Mares and kine alike, when in heat, indicate the fact by the upraising of their genital organs, and by continually voiding", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 376410, "pt_loc": 139358057, "pt_shuffle_idx": 118666725, "doc_index_f": 185980143, "doc_index_l": 185980143, "offset_f": 12486, "offset_l": 14534, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 23, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": "Sam preferred plush toy rabbits to real ones because of the nipping rabbit's teeth.

Directly to the west she had no neighbor, her territory being on that side washed by the Mediterranean.\n\nOf Persia, which must be described at length in the next volume, since it was the seat of Empire during the Fifth Monarchy, no more need be said here than that it was for the most part a rugged and sterile country, apt to produce a brave and hardy race, but incapable of sustaining a large population. A strong barrier separated it from the great Mesopotamian lowland; and the Babylonians, by occupying a few easily defensible passes, could readily prevent a Persian army from debouching on their fertile plains. On the other hand, the natural strength of the region is so great that in the hands of brave and active men its defence is easy; and the Babylonians were not likely, if an aggressive spirit led to their pressing eastward, to make any serious impression in this quarter, or ever greatly to advance their frontier.\n\nTo Media, the power which bordered her upon the north, Babylonia, on the contrary, lay wholly open. The Medes, possessing Assyria and Armenia, with the Upper Tigris valley, and probably the Mons Masius, could at any time, with the greatest ease, have marched armies into the low country, and resumed the contest in which Assyria was engaged for so many hundred years with the great people of the south. On this side nature had set no obstacles; and, if danger threatened, resistance had to be made by means of those artificial works which are specially suited for flat countries. Long lines of wall, broad dykes, huge reservoirs, by means of which large tracts may be laid under water, form the natural resort in such a case; and to such defences as these alone, in addition to her armies, could Babylonia look in case of a quarrel with the Medes. On this side, however, she for many years felt no fear. Political arrangements and family ties connected her with the Median reigning house, and she looked to her northern neighbor as an ally upon whom she might depend for aid, rather than as a rival whose ambitious designs were to be watched and baffled.\n\nBabylonia lay open also on the side of Arabia. Here, however, the nature of the country is such that population must be always sparse; and the habits of the people are opposed to that political union which can alone make a race really formidable to others. Once only in their history, under the excitement of a religious frenzy, have the Arabs issued forth from the great peninsula on an errand of conquest. In general they are content to vex and harass without seriously alarming their neighbors. The vast space and arid character of the peninsula are adverse to the collection and the movement of armies; the love of independence cherished by the several tribes indisposes them to union; the affection for the nomadic life, which is strongly felt, disinclines them to the occupation of conquests. Arabia, as a a conterminous power, is troublesome, but rarely dangerous: one section of the nation may almost always be played off against another: if \"their hand is against every man,\" \"every man's hand\" is also \"against them;\" blood-feuds divide and decimate their tribes, which are ever turning their swords against each other; their neighbors generally wish them ill, and will fall upon them, if they can take them at a disadvantage; it is only under very peculiar circumstances, such as can very rarely exist, that they are likely even to attempt anything more serious than a plundering inroad. Babylonia consequently, though open to attack on the side of the south as well as on that of the north, had little to fear from either quarter. The friendliness of her northern neighbor, and the practical weakness of her southern one, were equal securities against aggression; and thus on her two largest and most exposed frontiers the Empire dreaded no attack.\n\nBut it was otherwise in the far south-west. Here the Empire bordered upon Egypt, a rich and populous country, which at all times covets Syria, and is often strong enough to seize and hold it in possession. The natural frontier is moreover weak, no other barrier separating between Africa and Asia than a narrow desert, which has never yet proved a serious obstacle to an army. From the side of Egypt, if from no other quarter, Babylonia might expect to have trouble. Here she inherited from her predecessor, Assyria, an old hereditary feud, which might at any time break out into active hostility. Here was an ancient, powerful, and well-organized kingdom upon her borders, with claims upon that portion of her territory which it was most difficult for her to defend effectively. By seas and by land equally the strip of Syrian coast lay open to the arms of Egypt, who was free to choose her time, and pour her hosts into the country when the attention of Babylon was directed to some other quarter. The physical and political circumstances alike pointed to hostile transactions between Babylon and her south-western neighbor. Whether destruction would come from this quarter, or from some other, it would have been impossible to predict. Perhaps, on the whole, it may be said that Babylon might have been expected to contend successfully with Egypt\u2014that she had little to fear from Arabia\u2014that against Persia Proper it might have been anticipated that she would be able to defend herself\u2014but that she lay at the mercy of Media. The Babylonian Empire was in truth an empire upon sufferance. From the time of its establishment with the consent of the Medes, the Modes might at any time have destroyed it. The dynastic tie alone prevented this result. When that tie was snapped, and when moreover, by the victories of Cyrus, Persian enterprise succeeded to the direction of Median power, the fate of Babylon was sealed. It was impossible for the long straggling Empire of the south, lying chiefly in low, flat, open regions, to resist for any considerable time the great kingdom of the north, of the high plateau, and of the mountain-chains.\n\n\nThe Babylonian Empire, lying as it did between the thirtieth and thirty-seventh parallels of north latitude, and consisting mostly of comparatively low countries, enjoyed a climate which was, upon the whole, considerably warmer than that of Media, and less subject to extreme variations. In its more southern parts-Susiana, Chaldaea (or Babylonia Proper), Philistia, and Edom\u2014-the intensity of the summer heat must have been great; but the winters were mild and of short duration. In the middle regions of Central Mesopotamia, the Euphrates valley, the Palmyrene, Coele-Syria, Judaea, and Phoenicia, while the winters were somewhat colder and longer, the summer warmth was more tolerable. Towards the north, along the flanks of Masius, Taurus, and Amanus, a climate more like that of eastern Media prevailed, the summers being little less hot than those of the middle region, while the winters were of considerable severity. A variety of climate thus existed, but a variety within somewhat narrow limits. The region was altogether hotter and drier than is usual in the same latitude. The close proximity of the great Arabian desert, the small size of the adjoining seas, the want of mountains within the region having any great elevation, and the general absence of timber, combined to produce an amount of heat and dryness scarcely known elsewhere outside the tropics.\n\nDetailed accounts of the temperature, and of the climate generally, in the most important provinces of the Empire, Babylonia and Mesopotamia Proper, have been already given, and on these points the reader is referred to the first volume. With regard to the remaining provinces, it may be noticed, in the first place, that the climate of Susiana differs but very slightly from that of Babylonia, the region to which it is adjacent. The heat in summer is excessive, the thermometer, even in the hill country, at an elevation of 5000 feet, standing often at 107 deg. Fahr. in the shade. The natives construct for themselves serdaubs, or subterranean apartments, in which they live during the day, thus somewhat reducing the temperature, but probably never bringing it much below 100 degrees. They sleep at night in the open air on the flat roofs of their houses. So far as there is any difference of climate at this season between Susiana and Babylonia, it is in favor of the former. The heat, though scorching, is rarely oppressive; and not unfrequently a cool, invigorating breeze sets in from the mountains, which refreshes both mind and body. The winters are exceedingly mild, snow being unknown on the plains, and rare on the mountains, except at a considerable elevation. At this time, however\u2014from December to the end of March\u2014rain falls in tropical abundance; and occasionally there are violent hail-storms, which inflict serious injury on the crops. The spring-time in Susiana is delightful. Soft airs fan the cheek, laden with the scent of flowers; a carpet of verdure is spread over the plains; the sky is cloudless, or overspread with a thin gauzy veil; the heat of the sun is not too great; the rivers run with full banks and fill the numerous canals; the crops advance rapidly towards perfection; and on every side", "base_doc": "re, and Carchemish, involved the lordship of Syria, which could not be permanently retained except by the occupation of those cities.\n\nThe countries by which the Babylonian Empire was bounded were Persia on the east, Media and her dependencies on the north, Arabia on the south, and Egypt at the extreme southwest.

Here, however, the nature of the country is such that population must be always sparse; and the habits of the people are opposed to that political union which can alone make a race really formidable to others. Once only in their history, under the excitement of a religious frenzy, have the Arabs issued forth from the great peninsula on an errand of conquest. In general they are content to vex and harass without seriously alarming their neighbors. The vast space and arid character of the peninsula are adverse to the collection and the movement of armies; the love of independence cherished by the several tribes indisposes them to union; the affection for the nomadic life, which is strongly felt, disinclines them to the occupation of conquests. Arabia, as a a conterminous power, is troublesome, but rarely dangerous: one section of the nation may almost always be played off against another: if \"their hand is against every man,\" \"every man's hand\" is also \"against them;\" blood-feuds divide and decimate their tribes, which are ever turning their swords against each other; their neighbors generally wish them ill, and will fall upon them, if they can take them at a disadvantage; it is only under very peculiar circumstances, such as can very rarely exist, that they are likely even to attempt anything more serious than a plundering inroad. Babylonia consequently, though open to attack on the side of the south as well as on that of the north, had little to fear from either quarter. The friendliness of her northern neighbor, and the practical weakness of her southern one, were equal securities against aggression; and thus on her two largest and most exposed frontiers the Empire dreaded no attack.\n\nBut it was otherwise in the far south-west. Here the Empire bordered upon Egypt, a rich and populous country, which at all times covets Syria, and is often strong enough to seize and hold it in possession. The natural frontier is moreover weak, no other barrier separating between Africa and Asia than a narrow desert, which has never yet proved a serious obstacle to an army. From the side of Egypt, if from no other quarter, Babylonia might expect to have trouble. Here she inherited from her predecessor, Assyria, an old hereditary feud, which might at any time break out into active hostility. Here was an ancient, powerful, and well-organized kingdom upon her borders, with claims upon that portion of her territory which it was most difficult for her to defend effectively. By seas and by land equally the strip of Syrian coast lay open to the arms of Egypt, who was free to choose her time, and pour her hosts into the country when the attention of Babylon was directed to some other quarter. The physical and political circumstances alike pointed to hostile transactions between Babylon and her south-western neighbor. Whether destruction would come from this quarter, or from some other, it would have been impossible to predict. Perhaps, on the whole, it may be said that Babylon might have been expected to contend successfully with Egypt\u2014that she had little to fear from Arabia\u2014that against Persia Proper it might have been anticipated that she would be able to defend herself\u2014but that she lay at the mercy of Media. The Babylonian Empire was in truth an empire upon sufferance. From the time of its establishment with the consent of the Medes, the Modes might at any time have destroyed it. The dynastic tie alone prevented this result. When that tie was snapped, and when moreover, by the victories of Cyrus, Persian enterprise succeeded to the direction of Median power, the fate of Babylon was sealed. It was impossible for the long straggling Empire of the south, lying chiefly in low, flat, open regions, to resist for any considerable time the great kingdom of the north, of the high plateau, and of the mountain-chains.\n\n\nThe Babylonian Empire, lying as it did between the thirtieth and thirty-seventh parallels of north latitude, and consisting mostly of comparatively low countries, enjoyed a climate which was, upon the whole, considerably warmer than that of Media, and less subject to extreme variations. In its more southern parts-Susiana, Chaldaea (or Babylonia Proper), Philistia, and Edom\u2014-the intensity of the summer heat must have been great; but the winters were mild and of short duration. In the middle regions of Central Mesopotamia, the Euphrates valley, the Palmyrene, Coele-Syria, Judaea, and Phoenicia, while the winters were somewhat colder and longer, the summer warmth was more tolerable. Towards the north, along the flanks of Masius, Taurus, and Amanus, a climate more like that of eastern Media prevailed, the summers being little less hot than those of the middle region, while the winters were of considerable severity. A variety of climate thus existed, but a variety within somewhat narrow limits. The region was altogether hotter and drier than is usual in the same latitude. The close proximity of the great Arabian desert, the small size of the adjoining seas, the want of mountains within the region having any great elevation, and the general absence of timber, combined to produce an amount of heat and dryness scarcely known elsewhere outside the tropics.\n\nDetailed accounts of the temperature, and of the climate generally, in the most important provinces of the Empire, Babylonia and Mesopotamia Proper, have been already given, and on these points the reader is referred to the first volume. With regard to the remaining provinces, it may be noticed, in the first place, that the climate of Susiana differs but very slightly from that of Babylonia, the region to which it is adjacent. The heat in summer is excessive, the thermometer, even in the hill country, at an elevation of 5000 feet, standing often at 107 deg. Fahr. in the shade. The natives construct for themselves serdaubs, or subterranean apartments, in which they live during the day, thus somewhat reducing the temperature, but probably never bringing it much below 100 degrees. They sleep at night in the open air on the flat roofs of their houses. So far as there is any difference of climate at this season between Susiana and Babylonia, it is in favor of the former. The heat, though scorching, is rarely oppressive; and not unfrequently a cool, invigorating breeze sets in from the mountains, which refreshes both mind and body. The winters are exceedingly mild, snow being unknown on the plains, and rare on the mountains, except at a considerable elevation. At this time, however\u2014from December to the end of March\u2014rain falls in tropical abundance; and occasionally there are violent hail-storms, which inflict serious injury on the crops. The spring-time in Susiana is delightful. Soft airs fan the cheek, laden with the scent of flowers; a carpet of verdure is spread over the plains; the sky is cloudless, or overspread with a thin gauzy veil; the heat of the sun is not too great; the rivers run with full banks and fill the numerous canals; the crops advance rapidly towards perfection; and on every side a rich luxuriant growth cheers the eye of the traveller.\n\nOn", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 379682, "pt_loc": 191126339, "pt_shuffle_idx": 138090708, "doc_index_f": 216438115, "doc_index_l": 216438115, "offset_f": 16148, "offset_l": 18196, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 18, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": " Dipyrone may treat headaches -- but use with caution\n\nLatest findings from the Cochrane Library\n\n\nThe controversial drug dipyrone can treat acute headaches, but patients should be warned of the risk of potentially serious blood disorders (or \"dyscrasias\"), concluded a Cochrane Review team.

One of the things you should be very careful about is the food for diabetic cats.\n\nFood for diabetic cats should include high protein and grain free wet diet. As the cats are obligate carnivores, they get all the nutrition from meat products and they depend very less on plant based products.\n\nFood for Diabetic CatsOne of the easiest symptoms to find that a diabetic cat exhibits is always feeling hungry. Usually diabetic cats will eat more but lose their weight. Because of this, most organs will try to correct the condition and try to get rid of the excess glucose in the blood. For this, cats drink more and more water and feel thirsty constantly, which results in the greater amount of urine with sugar in it. So, it is essential to consume large amounts of water. You can do this by feeding your cat with wet food. Even you can add some additional water in the food for diabetic cats.\n\nAmerican Animal Hospital Association suggests that the food for diabetic cats should contain 45% of the metabolizable energy from protein and less carbohydrate.\n\nHere are the things to consider when giving the food for diabetic cats:\n\n \u2022 High protein and less carbohydrate diet is best suitable for cats.\n \u2022 Cats don\u2019t have proper enzymes to digest plant-based protein as the cats are obligate carnivores. So, don\u2019t feed your cat with any food that includes plant based products.\n \u2022 Consider including small amounts of raw or slightly cooked beef, chicken or organ meats. Supplementing the diet with meat can increase the protein content without adding the carbohydrates.\n \u2022 Some veterinarians may prescribe dry diabetic diet, but it is higher in carbohydrate levels than the recommended diet for diabetic cat. Carbohydrate rich foods can keep your pet at the risk of hypoglycemia or low blood sugar.\n \u2022 A low carbohydrate diet can be helpful for the cat to go into remission; hence, may need a low insulin dosage.\n \u2022 Feed your cat with small and frequent meals in order to stabilize the cat\u2019s blood sugar levels. Also, meal-feeding helps to control the portion sizes and monitors the food intake. It particularly helps with the overweight or underweight cats.\n \u2022 Canned food for diabetic cats is highly beneficial as it is higher in protein levels and lower in carbohydrate levels. Canned foods contain higher amounts of meat, less starches and fruits and very less or no vegetables. Fruits and starches can increase the blood sugar level, so they should be avoided.\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\nPlease enter your name here<|endoftext|>Virgil Goode\n\n\n\nI applaud Rep. Smith for standing up against illegal immigration, but we need to go a step further to protect displaced American workers. The first priority of our government needs to be the interests of American citizens\u2014both native born and naturalized,\u2014not \u201clegal immigrant workers.\u201d And the 25 million American citizens out of work are not only pushed out by illegal aliens, but also by certain legal immigrants.\n\n\nOn Monday, the Census Bureau released an analysis on the immigrant make up of the American workforce. They found that nearly one out of every six workers is foreign born.

And it wasn\u2019t that some were more or less likeable than others or of the familiar process of holding one\u2019s political nose and choosing the lesser of underwhelming candidates.\n\nNo, it was more a matter of admitting that \u201cnone of the above\u201d was where both my heart and my head were on this otherwise gorgeous Tuesday morning.\n\nI voted. I chose. My father and other veterans fought too hard and sacrificed too much for me to take the right to vote as less than a sacred duty of citizenship.\n\nBut I certainly didn\u2019t leave the polling place with the feeling that I had contributed much to the future awaiting the future generations of my family.\n\nAnd driving to work, I confronted a more ominous question: Is the traditional two-party system in America on life support? Are we headed to some sort of European parliamentary system where coalition governments arise from electoral chaos and where power sharing leads to a peculiar kind of inertia in government?\n\nBut then I realized that I\u2019d answered my own question. Our two-party system was one that worked because of the competition of dueling political, social and economic philosophies. Those battles forged a healthy race for the hearts and minds of the majority of our countrymen.\n\nThat competition, however, was uniquely tempered by the notion that when the electoral dust settled, the ruling party got about the business of governing in concert with the losing party \u2014 the so-called \u201cloyal opposition.\u201d\n\nFor my generation, that partisan relationship was exhibited most readily by Republican Ronald Reagan and Democratic House Speaker Thomas P. \u201cTip\u201d O\u2019Neill. Despite a divided government, Reagan and O\u2019Neill were able to govern by compromise, negotiation and a realization that the interests of the country weren\u2019t served by the politics of personal and partisan destruction.\n\nYet over the last 20 years, we have reached a point that for many, the partisan path is a path of such ideological purity that merely winning an election isn\u2019t good enough. For these voters, they want the political houses of their opponents burned down and if the country gets singed a little in the process, so be it.\n\nThe tone and tenor of the 2016 presidential campaigns in both parties has taken on the feel of television wrestling shows. What has passed for public discourse in this election cycle has run the gamut of misogyny, racism, personal insults that demean virtually everyone, and a mean-spirited lack of hope and promise for the future of our nation that is nothing short of depressing.\n\nTemper the present dung heap of debates, town hall meetings and staged candidate rallies with the residue of distrust in the basic mechanics of voting \u2014 think hanging chads, Diebold voting machines, and the Florida recounts \u2014 and you have a recipe for the present embarrassment of an election.\n\nWhen Congress struggles to even pass a budget, when public policy is debated, not over how it benefits or harms citizens but on how it injures or rewards politicians or their parties, the basic function of government \u2014 to protect and serve the citizens \u2014 simply gets lost in the shuffle.\n\nDespite the confusion and seemingly rudderless feel of the presidential primaries, the Democratic and Republican parties will produce nominees and those nominees will meet in the general election. A third party candidate may yet rise and some believe that candidate may rise from among candidates already on the nation\u2019s political stage.\n\nWhat is less predictable is the impact of this election on political behavior by the voters. A little food for thought. In 1992 and 1996, Bill Clinton won huge electoral vote victories but never carried a majority of the popular vote in either election.\n\nElections, finally, are about numbers and political operatives who know how to manipulate those numbers. In both parties, the numbers remain largely up for grabs.\n<|endoftext|>How to Stop Drinking Alcohol on Your Own\n\nIf you\u2019re reading this, chances are that you or someone you love is having trouble reducing or stopping their alcohol intake.\u00a0 If you or a loved one are considering stopping or reducing,", "base_doc": ". The horse only needs to be visited at night and in the morning to be fed, watered, checked, and to be let in our out. One solution is to keep the animal in at night during the winter to keep it warm and give it extra feed. In the daytime, it should be left out to graze and exercise. In the summer, it can be better to stable the horse during the day and turn it out at night because horses seek shade and shelter from flies in hot weather. When the grass is lush it may be necessary to restrict access to grazing, especially if the horse suffers from chronic laminitis; daytime stabling may correct this condition. Stabling during late afternoon and evening can help prevent summer itch in those horses that are allergic to midge bites.\n\nHorse Articles Index\nLike this article?

One of the things you should be very careful about is the food for diabetic cats.\n\nFood for diabetic cats should include high protein and grain free wet diet. As the cats are obligate carnivores, they get all the nutrition from meat products and they depend very less on plant based products.\n\nFood for Diabetic CatsOne of the easiest symptoms to find that a diabetic cat exhibits is always feeling hungry. Usually diabetic cats will eat more but lose their weight. Because of this, most organs will try to correct the condition and try to get rid of the excess glucose in the blood. For this, cats drink more and more water and feel thirsty constantly, which results in the greater amount of urine with sugar in it. So, it is essential to consume large amounts of water. You can do this by feeding your cat with wet food. Even you can add some additional water in the food for diabetic cats.\n\nAmerican Animal Hospital Association suggests that the food for diabetic cats should contain 45% of the metabolizable energy from protein and less carbohydrate.\n\nHere are the things to consider when giving the food for diabetic cats:\n\n \u2022 High protein and less carbohydrate diet is best suitable for cats.\n \u2022 Cats don\u2019t have proper enzymes to digest plant-based protein as the cats are obligate carnivores. So, don\u2019t feed your cat with any food that includes plant based products.\n \u2022 Consider including small amounts of raw or slightly cooked beef, chicken or organ meats. Supplementing the diet with meat can increase the protein content without adding the carbohydrates.\n \u2022 Some veterinarians may prescribe dry diabetic diet, but it is higher in carbohydrate levels than the recommended diet for diabetic cat. Carbohydrate rich foods can keep your pet at the risk of hypoglycemia or low blood sugar.\n \u2022 A low carbohydrate diet can be helpful for the cat to go into remission; hence, may need a low insulin dosage.\n \u2022 Feed your cat with small and frequent meals in order to stabilize the cat\u2019s blood sugar levels. Also, meal-feeding helps to control the portion sizes and monitors the food intake. It particularly helps with the overweight or underweight cats.\n \u2022 Canned food for diabetic cats is highly beneficial as it is higher in protein levels and lower in carbohydrate levels. Canned foods contain higher amounts of meat, less starches and fruits and very less or no vegetables. Fruits and starches can increase the blood sugar level, so they should be avoided.\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\nPlease enter your name here<|endoftext|>Virgil Goode\n\n\n\nI applaud Rep.

The argument can be provided after the function name, without parentheses, which makes things slightly more readable (and less cluttered) especially when the solitary argument is JSON.\n\n* def timeLong = call dateStringToLong '2016-12-24T03:39:21.081+0000'\n* assert timeLong == 1482550761081\n\n# a better example, with a JSON argument\n* def greeter = function(name){ return 'Hello ' + name.first + ' ' + name.last + '!' }\n* def greeting = call greeter { first: 'John', last: 'Smith' }\n\nReading Files\n\nKarate makes re-use of payload data, utility-functions and even other test-scripts as easy as possible. Teams typically define complicated JSON (or XML) payloads in a file and then re-use this in multiple scripts. Keywords such as set and remove allow you to to 'tweak' payload-data to fit the scenario under test. You can imagine how this greatly simplifies setting up tests for boundary conditions. And such re-use makes it easier to re-factor tests when needed, which is great for maintainability.\n\nNote that the set (multiple) keyword can build complex, nested JSON (or XML) from scratch in a data-driven manner, and you may not even need to read from files for many situations. Test data can be within the main flow itself, which makes scripts highly readable.\n\nReading files is achieved using the built-in JavaScript function called read(). By default, the file is expected to be in the same folder (package) and side-by-side with the *.feature file. But you can prefix the name with classpath: in which case the 'root' folder would be src/test/java (assuming you are using the recommended folder structure).\n\nPrefer classpath: when a file is expected to be heavily re-used all across your project. And yes, relative paths will work.\n\n# json\n* def someJson = read('some-json.json')\n* def moreJson = read('classpath:more-json.json')\n\n# xml\n* def someXml = read('../common/my-xml.xml')\n\n# import yaml (will be converted to json)\n* def jsonFromYaml = read('some-data.yaml')\n\n# csv (will be converted to json)\n* def jsonFromCsv = read('some-data.csv')\n\n# string\n* def someString = read('classpath:messages.txt')\n\n# javascript (will be evaluated)\n* def someValue = read('some-js-code.js')\n\n# if the js file evaluates to a function, it can be re-used later using the 'call' keyword\n* def someFunction = read('classpath:some-reusable-code.js')\n* def someCallResult = call someFunction\n\n# the following short-cut is also allowed\n* def someCallResult = call read('some-js-code.js')\n\nYou can also re-use other *.feature files from test-scripts:\n\n# perfect for all those common authentication or 'set up' flows\n* def result = call read('classpath:some-reusable-steps.feature')\n\nWhen a called feature depends on some side-by-side resources such as JSON or JS files, you can use the this: prefix to ensure that relative paths work correctly - because by default Karate calculates relative paths from the \"root\" feature or the top-most \"caller\".\n\n* def data = read('this:payload.json')\n\nIf a file does not end in .json, .xml, .yaml, .js, .csv or .txt, it is treated as a stream - which is typically what you would need for multipart file uploads.\n\n* def someStream = read('some-pdf.pdf')\n\nThe .graphql and .gql extensions are also recognized (for GraphQL) but are handled the same way as .txt and treated as a string.\n\nFor JSON and XML files, Karate will evaluate any embedded expressions on load. This enables more concise tests, and the file can be re-usable in multiple, data-driven tests.\n\nSince it is internally implemented as a JavaScript function, you can mix calls to read() freely wherever JavaScript expressions are allowed:\n\n* def someBigString = read('first.txt') + read('second.txt')\n\nTip: you can even use JS expressions to dynamically choose a file based on some condition: * def someConfig = read('my-config-' + someVariable + '.json'). Refer to conditional logic for more ideas.\n\nAnd a very common need would be to use a file as the request body:\n\nGiven request read('some-big-payload.json')\n\nOr in a match:\n\nAnd match response == read('expected-response-payload.json')\n\nThe rarely used file: prefix is also supported. You could use it for 'hard-coded' absolute paths in dev mode, but is obviously not recommended for CI test-suites. A good example of where you may need this is if you programmatically write a file to the target folder, and then you can read it like this:\n\n* def payload = read('file:target/large.xml')\n\nTo summarize the possible prefixes:\n\nPrefix Description\nclasspath: relative to the classpath, recommended for re-usable features\nfile: do not use this unless you know what you are doing, see above\nthis: when in a called feature, ensure that files are resolved relative to the current feature file\n\nTake a look at the Karate Demos for real-life examples of how you can use files for validating HTTP responses, like this one: read-files.feature.\n\nRead File As String\n\nIn some rare cases where you don't want to auto-convert JSON, XML, YAML or CSV, and just get the raw string content (without having to re-name the file to end with .txt) - you can use the karate.readAsString() API. Here is an example of using a CSV file as the request-body:\n\nGiven path 'upload'\nAnd header Content-Type = 'text/csv'\nAnd request karate.readAsString('classpath:my.csv')\nWhen method post\nThen status 202\n\nType Conversion\n\nBest practice is to stick to using only def unless there is a very good reason to do otherwise.\n\nInternally, Karate will auto-convert JSON (and even XML) to Java Map objects. And JSON arrays would become Java List-s. But you will never need to worry about this internal data-representation most of the time.\n\nIn some rare cases, for e.g. if you acquired a string from some external source, or if you generated JSON (or XML) by concatenating text or using replace, you may want to convert a string to JSON and vice-versa. You can even perform a conversion from XML to JSON if you want.\n\nOne example of when you may want to convert JSON (or XML) to a string is when you are passing a payload to custom code via Java interop. Do note that when passing JSON, the default Map and List representations should suffice for most needs (see example), and using them would avoid un-necessary string-conversion.\n\nSo you have the following type markers you can use instead of def (or the rarely used text). The first four below are best explained in this example file: type-conv.feature.\n\n \u2022 string - convert JSON or any other data-type (except XML) to a string\n \u2022 json - convert XML, a map-like or list-like object, a string, or even a Java object into JSON\n \u2022 xml - convert JSON, a map-like object, a string, or even a Java object into XML\n \u2022 xmlstring - specifically for converting the map-like Karate internal representation of XML into a string\n \u2022 csv - convert a CSV string into JSON, see csv\n \u2022 yaml - convert a YAML string into JSON, see yaml\n \u2022 bytes - convert to a byte-array, useful for binary payloads or comparisons, see example\n \u2022 copy - to clone a given payload variable reference (JSON, XML, Map or List), refer: copy\n\nIf you want to 'pretty print' a JSON or XML value with indenting, refer to the documentation of the print keyword.\n\nFloats and Integers\n\nWhile converting a number to a string is easy (just concatenate an empty string e.g. myInt + ''), in some rare cases, you may need to convert a string to a number. You can do this by multiplying by 1 or using the built-in JavaScript parseInt() function:\n\n* def foo = '10'\n* string", "base_doc": "mm:ss.SSSZ\");\n return sdf.parse(s).time; // '.getTime()' would also have worked instead of '.time'\n* assert dateStringToLong(\"2016-12-24T03:39:21.081+0000\") == 1482550761081\n\nMore examples of Java interop and how to invoke custom code can be found in the section on Calling Java.\n\nThe call keyword provides an alternate way of calling JavaScript functions that have only one argument. The argument can be provided after the function name, without parentheses, which makes things slightly more readable (and less cluttered) especially when the solitary argument is JSON.\n\n* def timeLong = call dateStringToLong '2016-12-24T03:39:21.081+0000'\n* assert timeLong == 1482550761081\n\n# a better example, with a JSON argument\n* def greeter = function(name){ return 'Hello ' + name.first + ' ' + name.last + '!' }\n* def greeting = call greeter { first: 'John', last: 'Smith' }\n\nReading Files\n\nKarate makes re-use of payload data, utility-functions and even other test-scripts as easy as possible. Teams typically define complicated JSON (or XML) payloads in a file and then re-use this in multiple scripts. Keywords such as set and remove allow you to to 'tweak' payload-data to fit the scenario under test. You can imagine how this greatly simplifies setting up tests for boundary conditions. And such re-use makes it easier to re-factor tests when needed, which is great for maintainability.\n\nNote that the set (multiple) keyword can build complex, nested JSON (or XML) from scratch in a data-driven manner, and you may not even need to read from files for many situations. Test data can be within the main flow itself, which makes scripts highly readable.\n\nReading files is achieved using the built-in JavaScript function called read(). By default, the file is expected to be in the same folder (package) and side-by-side with the *.feature file. But you can prefix the name with classpath: in which case the 'root' folder would be src/test/java (assuming you are using the recommended folder structure).\n\nPrefer classpath: when a file is expected to be heavily re-used all across your project. And yes, relative paths will work.\n\n# json\n* def someJson = read('some-json.json')\n* def moreJson = read('classpath:more-json.json')\n\n# xml\n* def someXml = read('../common/my-xml.xml')\n\n# import yaml (will be converted to json)\n* def jsonFromYaml = read('some-data.yaml')\n\n# csv (will be converted to json)\n* def jsonFromCsv = read('some-data.csv')\n\n# string\n* def someString = read('classpath:messages.txt')\n\n# javascript (will be evaluated)\n* def someValue = read('some-js-code.js')\n\n# if the js file evaluates to a function, it can be re-used later using the 'call' keyword\n* def someFunction = read('classpath:some-reusable-code.js')\n* def someCallResult = call someFunction\n\n# the following short-cut is also allowed\n* def someCallResult = call read('some-js-code.js')\n\nYou can also re-use other *.feature files from test-scripts:\n\n# perfect for all those common authentication or 'set up' flows\n* def result = call read('classpath:some-reusable-steps.feature')\n\nWhen a called feature depends on some side-by-side resources such as JSON or JS files, you can use the this: prefix to ensure that relative paths work correctly - because by default Karate calculates relative paths from the \"root\" feature or the top-most \"caller\".\n\n* def data = read('this:payload.json')\n\nIf a file does not end in .json, .xml, .yaml, .js, .csv or .txt, it is treated as a stream - which is typically what you would need for multipart file uploads.\n\n* def someStream = read('some-pdf.pdf')\n\nThe .graphql and .gql extensions are also recognized (for GraphQL) but are handled the same way as .txt and treated as a string.\n\nFor JSON and XML files, Karate will evaluate any embedded expressions on load. This enables more concise tests, and the file can be re-usable in multiple, data-driven tests.\n\nSince it is internally implemented as a JavaScript function, you can mix calls to read() freely wherever JavaScript expressions are allowed:\n\n* def someBigString = read('first.txt') + read('second.txt')\n\nTip: you can even use JS expressions to dynamically choose a file based on some condition: * def someConfig = read('my-config-' + someVariable + '.json').

Use Vim help\n\nIMO, Vim help is the most underestimated feature of Vim. I haven\u2019t used it until this revamp and, boy, what I\u2019ve missed! So many useless searching, reading silly blogs and StackOverflow could be avoided if I\u2019ve used the help system.\n\nVim help consists of 3.7 megabytes of text, half a million of words\n\n$ wc neovim-0.3.4/runtime/doc/* | tail -n1\n 90804 543942 3592651 total\n\nAlso, almost every plugin you install has its own help so these numbers are not final.\n\nVim help topics are comprehensive, detailed and cross-referenced. You may be overwhelmed at first because there is a lot of information here. But don\u2019t be discouraged \u2013 it\u2019s much much more efficient and useful to read and grasp comprehensive help topic than mindlessly searching for blog posts or StackOverflow. If you could only learn one thing from this post \u2013 please, learn to love the Vim help system.\n\nSome tips that helped me.\n\n \u2022 :h patt then TAB to find help on the subject starting with patt\n \u2022 :h patt then Ctrl-D to find help on the subject containing patt\n \u2022 Vim help system is full of cross-references \u2013 you can jump back and forward just like with code by using Ctrl-] and Ctrl-T.\n\nOr even better \u2013 read the :help help which is help on help!\n\nLet\u2019s look at the example, if you type :h word-m Vim will open help on word motions:\n\n4. Word motions *word-motions*\n\n or ** *w*\nw [count] words forward. |exclusive| motion.\n\n or ** *W*\nW [count] WORDS forward. |exclusive| motion.\n\n\nHere you can see the header Word motions, its tag word-motions that is used as a subject for :h command.\n\nNext, you see the help itself describing word motions.\n\nNote that there are some words that have some funky symbols around them or shown in different colors. Anything that doesn\u2019t look like the plain text is a help topic by itself \u2013 you can jump into it by Ctrl-]. So in this example, we could find what is [count] or what is |exclusive| motion. And that\u2019s enough for efficient using of Vim help.\n\nHere are the things that I\u2019ve found in Vim help:\n\n \u2022 I\u2019ve configured statusline with the help of :h statusline. All the blog posts were just a waste of time.\n \u2022 :h ins-completion describes comprehensive builtin completion system. Now, I\u2019m using Ctrl-X Ctrl-F to complete filenames in the current directory (useful to insert links in Markdown files). Also, whole line completion with Ctrl-X Ctrl-L is useful for editing data files.\n \u2022 :h window-moving taught me that you can move splits around, e.g. Ctrl-w H will move current window to the left (it will also convert vertical split to horizontal). Also, the whole :h windows.txt is amazing.\n\nFinally, I recommend to everyone familiar with Vim to review :h quickref from time to time.\n\n3. Use missed core features\n\nAfter I\u2019ve learned to use Vim help I started to discover things that I\u2019ve missed but that was always there.\n\nRemember to check the help for each thing in this list \u2013 I\u2019ve conveniently supplied Vim help command and a link to online help.\n\nAuto commands\n\n:help autocmd\n\nAuto commands allow you to tune Vim behavior based on filename or filetype. Basically, it executes Vim commands on events.\n\nI use it to set correct filetype for some exotic files like this\n\nautocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.pp setfiletype ruby\nautocmd BufRead,BufNewFile alert.rules setfiletype yaml\n\nOr to tune settings for particular filetype like this\n\nautocmd FileType yaml set tabstop=2 shiftwidth=2\n\nOther editors required me to install full-blown extensions like Puppet extension or YAML extension but with Vim I keep things simple and lightweight.\n\nPersistent undo\n\n:help undo-persistence\n\nThis feature is so awesome yet none of the other editors have it.\n\nIt sounds simple \u2013 when you exit Vim your edit history is saved so you can open the file again 2 days later and undo the changes.\n\nEdit history is an important part of your context so I think once you get used to it you couldn\u2019t use any other editor without this feature.\n\nTo enable persistent undo I\u2019ve done this:\n\nset undodir=~/.vim/undodir\nset undofile\n\n\n\n:help 'clipboard'\n\nThis one is actually more of a hard fix than a feature.\n\nClipboard in Linux is a complicated story. All these buffers and selections don\u2019t make things understandable. And Vim makes it even more complicated with its registers.\n\nFor years I had these mappings\n\n\" C-c and C-v - Copy/Paste to global clipboard\nvmap \"+yi\nimap \"+gpi\n\nthat makes Ctrl-c and Ctrl-v work.\n\nBut why use two-key combos when you can use a simple y and p for copying and pasting?\n\nTurns out, you can make it work very nice by using this single setting:\n\nset clipboard+=unnamed\n\nIt makes y and p copy and paste to the \u201cglobal\u201d buffer that is used by other apps like the browser.\n\n\n:help mapping\n\nWhat I like the most about Vim is that its normal mode allows you to use all keys for a command while others require to use some key combo based on modifier (Ctrl-o, Ctrl-s).\n\nWhen you can use any key for a command it\u2019s natural to use a single key shortcuts, e.g. p to paste the text.\n\nAnd what is even more awesome is that you can map a key or a sequence of keys at your own will.\n\nHere are my most used mappings:\n\nnnoremap ; :Buffers\nnnoremap f :Files\nnnoremap T :Tags\nnnoremap t :BTags\nnnoremap s :Ag\n\nNOTE: these mappings override default Vim motions and actions because I don\u2019t use them. It may be better for you to map it via leader key. Anyway, read the help on what these letters do by default and decide whether you want to override them.\n\nThese mappings invoke fzf command (more on this later) using a single key.\n\nIf I need to go to some function I just press t and got the list of tags of the current file. Not Ctrl-t, not Shift-t, just t. Combined with fzf fuzzy find it\u2019s very powerful.\n\nTrue colors in Vim\n\n:help termguicolors\n\nFor years I\u2019ve been using Vim in a terminal without knowing that I\u2019ve been using 8-bit colorscheme. And it was actually ok because 256 colors is kinda enough.\n\nIt\u2019s worth noting that I\u2019m using my own colorscheme called tile. While tuning some of the colors I didn\u2019t understand why I don\u2019t see the difference and then I\u2019ve read the help on syntax highlighting and realized that I want true colors in Vim.\n\nAlso, most of the colorschemes that you see in the wild, e.g. on are presented in the 24-bit colors. So you\u2019ll be disappointed when you don\u2019t see the same colors when you install the colorscheme in your Vim.\n\nAlso also, your terminal is almost certainly capable of displaying in True Color so why limit yourself to the 256?\n\nIt\u2019s all boils down to the simple set termguicolors in your vimrc. This options simply enable true color for Vim. Here is the difference with my colorscheme:\n\nVim before termguicolors Vim after termguicolors\n\nSearch history\n\nThe last one is quick but so great that I even tweeted about it:\n\n4. Tuning Vim to my workflow\n\nAll of the things above already boosted my productivity but Vim can do even better when you know what you want.\n\nIn my case, here was the list:\n\n \u2022 Working with projects (sessions)\n \u2022 Autocompletion\n \u2022 Quick file find by fzf\n \u2022 Quick search in files via ag (the_silver_searcher", "base_doc": "runtimepath\nsource ~/.vimrc\n\nto the .config/nvim/init.vim and use the ~/.vimrc for the configuration.\n\nAfter that, let\u2019s start digging into it.\n\nWhat this gives you is the latest version of Neovim that\u2019s not conflicting with anything and compatible with Vim.\n\n2.

Anyway, read the help on what these letters do by default and decide whether you want to override them.\n\nThese mappings invoke fzf command (more on this later) using a single key.\n\nIf I need to go to some function I just press t and got the list of tags of the current file. Not Ctrl-t, not Shift-t, just t. Combined with fzf fuzzy find it\u2019s very powerful.\n\nTrue colors in Vim\n\n:help termguicolors\n\nFor years I\u2019ve been using Vim in a terminal without knowing that I\u2019ve been using 8-bit colorscheme. And it was actually ok because 256 colors is kinda enough.\n\nIt\u2019s worth noting that I\u2019m using my own colorscheme called tile. While tuning some of the colors I didn\u2019t understand why I don\u2019t see the difference and then I\u2019ve read the help on syntax highlighting and realized that I want true colors in Vim.\n\nAlso, most of the colorschemes that you see in the wild, e.g. on are presented in the 24-bit colors. So you\u2019ll be disappointed when you don\u2019t see the same colors when you install the colorscheme in your Vim.\n\nAlso also, your terminal is almost certainly capable of displaying in True Color so why limit yourself to the 256?\n\nIt\u2019s all boils down to the simple set termguicolors in your vimrc. This options simply enable true color for Vim. Here is the difference with my colorscheme:\n\nVim before termguicolors Vim after termguicolors\n\nSearch history\n\nThe last one is quick but so great that I even tweeted about it:\n\n4. Tuning Vim to my workflow\n\nAll of the things above already boosted my productivity but Vim can do even better when you know what you want.\n\nIn my case, here was the list:\n\n \u2022 Working with projects (sessions)\n \u2022 Autocompletion\n \u2022 Quick file find by fzf\n \u2022 Quick search in files via ag (the_silver_searcher)\n \u2022 Tag jumping using ctags index\n \u2022 Find usages via cscope", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 389498, "pt_loc": 59925214, "pt_shuffle_idx": 24308736, "doc_index_f": 38107778, "doc_index_l": 38107778, "offset_f": 2623, "offset_l": 4671, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 19, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": ".

Business intelligence is the use of all of those tools. When you practice business intelligence, you use your available methods, software, and strategies to keep an eye on your own company and how it performs in the broader context of the business world. What sort of tools and methods can you use? Just like with broader data analytics, you have all kinds of options. Take a look at the paragraphs below to get a broader idea of the routes you might take with your business intelligence.\n\nBusiness Intelligence Systems\n\nThe term \u201cbusiness intelligence system\u201d refers to the tools that you use to gather business intelligence. In the above paragraph, we described business intelligence as the use of tools and methods to help your company perform well. Business intelligence systems, on the other hand, are the tools themselves. You'll notice a lot of overlap in these terms if you do further research. Essentially, business intelligence is like the act of gardening. It's the process of helping something grow and change. Business intelligence systems are like the spades and backhoes you would use while tending that garden. Data-gathering software is an example of a business intelligence system. When people mention business intelligence systems, they're generally referring to software.\n\nBusiness Intelligence Strategy\n\nBusiness intelligence strategy is precisely what it sounds like: the development of a business intelligence method. This process can involve a lot of different steps. For example, you might monitor the current business intelligence trends using pivot tables or gauges. You might also develop a strategy that includes regular reporting, intelligence meetings, and other strategic moves. Data analysis beginners often become overwhelmed by all of their options. If you're new to the world of business intelligence, don't get discouraged. With some practice, you'll eventually develop a strategy that works for you.\n\nBusiness Intelligence Solutions\n\nThe term \u201cbusiness intelligence solutions\u201d is generally used interchangeably with \u201cbusiness intelligence systems.\u201d In fact, you may often read those terms together: \u201cbusiness intelligence solutions and systems.\u201d In any case, \u201csolution\u201d usually means \u201csoftware\u201d in this context. Again, it refers to the tools that you use to gather and use your data. Sometimes, the word \u201csolutions\u201d refers to the specific tools you can use within your software. A text box, bound image, or geopoint map can be a solution.\n\nTypes of Business Intelligence\n\nNow that you've taken a deep dive into business intelligence let's look at the different types of business intelligence that you can use.\n\n\nBusiness Intelligence Dashboards\n\nA business intelligence dashboard gives you a simple way to visualize your data. A dashboard puts all of your relevant data onto a single screen. You can organize your data into clearly-defined blocks. Dashboard information can include things like key performance indicators, information for specific dates, and more. KPI dashboards, in particular, let you see right away whether or not your business is hitting the right marks. Dashboards come with a lot of advantages. For example, the simple organization lets you access your information quickly. Not all dashboards use the organization you see above. Other dashboards may use tools like choropleth map, range filter, combo box, or or list box. If you prefer branches over boxes, then the tree view will work well. A web view works well for those who like to notice connections. You can choose how you organize your dashboard. You can also share that information with other people who may need it. If you control the dashboard, you get to choose how and when you share. The right software, for example, will display relevant information on a mobile phone just as easily as it would on a desktop.\n\n\nData Visualizations\n\nVisualizations, as you might have guessed, are business intelligence tools that let you visualize your data. Examples include pies, a chart, a treemap, a scatter chart, and other visual aids. Visualizations help you make the most of your data. Business intelligence is all about noticing patterns, and visualizations are the easiest way to help you see those patterns. As a result, you'll make faster, more informed decisions. Furthermore, when you want to share your data with others and discuss that data, visualizations make the process easy and straightforward.\n\n\nBusiness Intelligence Reporting\n\nData reporting is one of the best features you can get from your data software. This feature will save you a lot of time. You can set your software to keep track of specific data points. Then, you\u2019ll receive automated reports on that data. Data reporting is perfect for those who want to track specific data over a long period of time. Reporting also helps you share your data with those who need the information. Often, that data reporting comes in the form of visualizations. You can organize those reports however you\u2019d like, too. Whether you want to see that information in a grid table, bubble map, pie map, or other form, the right software will organize your information in whatever way works best for you.\n\nPredictive Analytics\n\nWe mentioned predictive analytics above, but let\u2019s look at it in the context of business intelligence. As we mentioned, predictive analytics involves learning why a set of data turned out a certain way. As a type of business intelligence, predictive analytics uses tools like reporting and visualizations to help its end users make the best choices.\n\nData Mining\n\nData mining is the act of using your data to generate even more data. As the word \"mining\" suggests, you're essentially \"digging\" for insights. When you use data mining, you look at large portions of data. From there, you dig deeper into that data to learn about its specific points. In business intelligence, this means looking at your own large sets of data to find smaller patterns.\n\nLooking for Data Analytics & Business Intelligence tools that will take your company to the next level?

Your server(s) are old and the software even older. You are being told by your IT staff or IT vendor that it\u2019s time to purchase new hardware. This solution has always worked in the past so why even think twice about it? If it\u2019s not broken, then why fix it? In some ways, this statement may be true and you can probably keep going down the same road you have in the past with IT infrastructure. However, technology is constantly evolving and to take advantage of this you should consider doing your due diligence and at least investigating all options.\n\nAccording to 70% of companies who already have at least one application running in the cloud plan on moving additional applications to the cloud within the next 12 months. Things must be going well for them if they want to move more to the cloud. Here are some key advantages and options for moving to the cloud, as well as some common questions and concerns about moving to the cloud.\n\nHow secure is the cloud? Depending upon which provider you go with, the cloud can be more secure than having your infrastructure on premise. According to the cloud is more secure. Let\u2019s think about this for a moment. If you are hosting your applications in a local Data center that has security certifications, can withstand fires, floods, hurricanes, tornados, lightning strikes, earthquakes and any other disaster Mother Nature can throw at it, don\u2019t you think that is more secure than keeping your server in your closet in your building? Can your office building withstand all the above? Probably Not.\n\nWe have a backup of our servers and a disaster recovery plan. Great! You are doing better than some and something is better than nothing as they say. However, have you ever tested this solution? Often companies spend thousands of dollars on an on-premise backup solution that is supposed to replicate to the cloud. Some of these solutions are really good, however without testing or monitoring these solutions what good are they really? If you are running any major applications or other software programs that would hinder your business than there needs to be a disaster recovery plan and testing done periodically. If not, you may be in for a rude awakening. When moving to the cloud many of these solutions have their own backup and disaster recovery built in. Often your data is replicated throughout several secure data centers for redundancy. You no longer must invest in another piece of hardware onsite.\n\nWe have applications that won\u2019t run in the cloud. They are either too old or too resource intensive.

Business intelligence is the use of all of those tools. When you practice business intelligence, you use your available methods, software, and strategies to keep an eye on your own company and how it performs in the broader context of the business world. What sort of tools and methods can you use? Just like with broader data analytics, you have all kinds of options. Take a look at the paragraphs below to get a broader idea of the routes you might take with your business intelligence.\n\nBusiness Intelligence Systems\n\nThe term \u201cbusiness intelligence system\u201d refers to the tools that you use to gather business intelligence. In the above paragraph, we described business intelligence as the use of tools and methods to help your company perform well. Business intelligence systems, on the other hand, are the tools themselves. You'll notice a lot of overlap in these terms if you do further research. Essentially, business intelligence is like the act of gardening. It's the process of helping something grow and change. Business intelligence systems are like the spades and backhoes you would use while tending that garden. Data-gathering software is an example of a business intelligence system.

When it came time for me to make my top 10 Spider-Man villain list, I realized that I could not narrow it down to just 10. Spider-Man\u2019s long career has had him face off against hundreds of bad guys. Attempting to narrow this down to just 10 was impossible. Instead, I went about finding the 10 most influential Spider-Man enemies. These characters have had the biggest effect on Peter Parker\u2019s life and caused major repercussions in Spider-Man\u2019s overall storyline.\n\nMarvel Mephisto\nMarvel Mephisto\n\n10. Mephisto\n\nFirst Appearance: Silver Surfer #3\nReal Name: Take your pick; Devil, Mephistopheles, Satan...\n\nAbout: Mephisto is not the Devil but a demon with many similarities to the Christian belief in Satan. He is ruler of his own dimension, which he calls Hell or Hades, and has almost limitless power. I won\u2019t go into a lot of detail because this guy is not a Spider-Man villain. He tangles with the Silver Surfer and Fantastic Four and is way out of Spider-Man\u2019s league. However, for the purpose of this list, he had to be included.\n\nWhy Influential: Mephisto is literally responsible for changing Peter Parker\u2019s whole reality. In the \u201cOne More Day\u201d storyline, Mephisto gets Peter to sign a deal that brings his Aunt May back to life. To do this Peter had to erase his marriage from existence. Peter and Mary Jane agreed to the contract but MJ privately added terms that gave Peter\u2019s secret identity back but altered both their timelines. Apparently Peter and MJ\u2019s pure love was important enough to have Mephisto get involved. (In case you can\u2019t tell, I was not happy with this storyline but reboots are always hard to sell to longtime fans of any hero.)\n\nFelicia Hardy Black Cat\nFelicia Hardy Black Cat\n\n9. The Black Cat\n\nFirst Appearance: The Amazing Spider-Man #194\nReal Name: Felicia Hardy\n\nAbout: While growing up Felicia Hardy never knew her father was a burglar. When she found out years later, she decided to follow in her father\u2019s criminal footsteps. She took up the identity of the Black Cat and would set up her crime scenes to appear as if she had bad luck powers. When her father was dying in prison, she wanted to break him out so he could live the remainder of his days as a free man. Continuing her career as a cat burglar the Black Cat would cross paths with Spider-Man on several occasions. She eventually developed a crush on Spider-Man and let her feeling for him be known. They had a shaky relationship because of her less than moral compass. When she was granted real bad luck powers by the Kingpin, things came to a head. Although she planned on breaking up with Peter, he did it first because he came to the realization that Felicia loved Spider-Man and not Peter Parker. Felicia did not take being dumped well and caused a lot of problems for Peter and Mary Jane. She eventually made peace with them and set up a business to utilize her special skills called Cat\u2019s Eye Private Investigations.\n\nWhy Influential: Catwoman...I mean the Black Cat makes this list because of her long and complicated romance with Spider-Man. This was never a healthy relationship but it did help Peter Parker grow as a person. He learned a lot about his Spider-Man/Peter Parker identity. This is a common struggle with many superheroes who must balance a personal life and continue to do what they know is right.\n\nDr. Curtis Connors Lizard\nDr. Curtis Connors Lizard\n\n8. The Lizard\n\nFirst Appearance: The Amazing Spider-Man #6\nReal Name: Dr. Curtis Connors\n\nAbout: Dr. Connors was Peter Parker\u2019s teacher and would later develop a friendship. Dr. Connors lost an arm while fighting in a war and attempted to regrow it using lizard DNA. Rather than growing back a human arm, the serum transformed him into a giant lizard obsessed with turning the world into lizards like himself and ruling over them. The Lizard hates humanity and would end up killing his own son. Connors is constantly trying to cure himself of the Lizard and the Lizard is continually trying to break free. This Jekyll and Hyde story continues throughout Dr. Connors/Lizard character arc.\n\nWhy Influential: Having to battle a friend who is not in their right mind is tough. However, Harry Osborn already made the list because of that. The Lizard makes this list because of the positive influence Dr. Connors has had on Peter Parker\u2019s life. He helped save May Parker after a blood transfusion from her nephew Peter almost killed her. Dr. Connors was able to create an antidote that reverted Peter back to normal after Peter\u2019s attempt at removing his spider powers gave him extra arms instead, oops. It was also Dr. Connors who was able to prove that Peter Parker was NOT a clone.\n\nDr. Octopus\nDr. Octopus\n\n7. Dr. Octopus\n\nFirst Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man #3\nReal Name: Otto Gunther Octavius\n\nAbout: With an overbearing mother and abusive father, Otto did not have a good start in life. He pushed himself academically and became a brilliant scientist. His mother drove Otto\u2019s fianc\u00e9 away and then died when they were having an argument. This led to an obsession with work and disregard for safety protocols. While immersed in work, an accident fused a chest harness he had invented to his body. With four mechanical arms and his own four limbs he quickly took on the name Doctor Octopus. At first the accident allowed him to telepathically control his mechanical arms but it was later discovered that he always had weak telepathic abilities. Dr. Octavius called himself the Master Planner for a short period of time but quickly reverted back to his original alias as Doctor Octopus. Whatever the name, Doc Ock strove to prove his superior intelligence to the world. He is constantly scheming for more power. He has escalated gang wars, held a city for ransom, and made sure he is the only one who kills Spider-Man.\n\nWhy Influential: Dr. Octopus is one of Spider-Man\u2019s oldest and most famous villains. With such a long history with the webslinger, it should come as no surprise that he would make this list. He was the one responsible for forming the Sinister Six, who have remained one of the greatest threats to Spider-Man\u2019s safety. Doc Ock attempted to marry May Parker, so he could acquire a Canadian Nuclear power plant; having your greatest enemies marry the women who raised you can be a traumatic life event. When Octavius was dying, he switched minds with Peter Parker and became Superior Spider-Man. Peter was trapped in Octavius\u2019 body when he died, and Dr. Octopus became the new Spider-Man. Not only did he defeat Spider-Man, but he caused me to stop reading his comics. I look forward to the real Peter Parker\u2019s return, so I can enjoy his stories once again.\n\nHarry Osborn Green Goblin\nHarry Osborn Green Goblin\n\n6. Green Goblin\n\nFirst Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man #31\nReal Name: Harry Osborn\n\nAbout: Harry and Peter first met at Empire State Universtiy. Although a series of miscommunications put them at odds with each other, they eventually became best friends. Peter was there for Harry during his famous drug addiction and both have helped each other through difficult times. Sadly the saying, \u201cLike father like son\u201d is very true in the case of Harry and Norman Osborn. Harry would also suffer from psychological issues. He became the Green Goblin and continued his father\u2019s legacy. In his \u201clast battle\u201d with Spider-Man he almost killed his own son. Harry regained his mental clarity and was able to save both his son and Peter before they were buried in fiery rubble but was killed himself. Norman\u2019s death and most of his history after kicking his drug addiction were erased in the Brand New Day reboot. The cycle of friend and enemy are resumed once again.\n\nWhy Influential: Harry Osborn has not caused as much chaos in Peter\u2019s life as his father, but he did affect him on a very personal level. Harry is one of Peter Parker\u2019s oldest and dearest friends. A psychotic break caused Harry to take on the role of the Green Goblin and continue his father\u2019s desire to destroy Spider-Man. Peter was forced to fight his sick friend in order to save his loved ones. While fighting he also had to save the", "base_doc": "\n\nSaudi Arabia\u2014Lebanon\u2019s new Hezbollah-supported president is courting Saudi Arabia in an effort to restore billions in military aid, a delicate task as his country grows closer to Iran, the kingdom\u2019s main rival for Middle East power.<|endoftext|>ArtsAutosBooksBusinessEducationEntertainmentFamilyFashionFoodGamesGenderHealthHolidaysHomeHubPagesPersonal FinancePetsPoliticsReligionSportsTechnologyTravel\n \u2022 \u00bb\n \u2022 Books, Literature, and Writing\u00bb\n \u2022 Comics & Graphic Novels\n\n10 Most Influential Spider-Man Villains\n\nUpdated on November 20, 2013\nSpiderman Villains\nSpiderman Villains\n\nThere are plenty of 10 Best Villains, Spider-Man\u2019s great Foes and Favorite Spider-Man Enemy lists out on the internet.

Rather than growing back a human arm, the serum transformed him into a giant lizard obsessed with turning the world into lizards like himself and ruling over them. The Lizard hates humanity and would end up killing his own son. Connors is constantly trying to cure himself of the Lizard and the Lizard is continually trying to break free. This Jekyll and Hyde story continues throughout Dr. Connors/Lizard character arc.\n\nWhy Influential: Having to battle a friend who is not in their right mind is tough. However, Harry Osborn already made the list because of that. The Lizard makes this list because of the positive influence Dr. Connors has had on Peter Parker\u2019s life. He helped save May Parker after a blood transfusion from her nephew Peter almost killed her. Dr. Connors was able to create an antidote that reverted Peter back to normal after Peter\u2019s attempt at removing his spider powers gave him extra arms instead, oops. It was also Dr. Connors who was able to prove that Peter Parker was NOT a clone.\n\nDr. Octopus\nDr. Octopus\n\n7. Dr. Octopus\n\nFirst Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man #3\nReal Name: Otto Gunther Octavius\n\nAbout: With an overbearing mother and abusive father, Otto did not have a good start in life. He pushed himself academically and became a brilliant scientist. His mother drove Otto\u2019s fianc\u00e9 away and then died when they were having an argument. This led to an obsession with work and disregard for safety protocols. While immersed in work, an accident fused a chest harness he had invented to his body. With four mechanical arms and his own four limbs he quickly took on the name Doctor Octopus. At first the accident allowed him to telepathically control his mechanical arms but it was later discovered that he always had weak telepathic abilities. Dr. Octavius called himself the Master Planner for a short period of time but quickly reverted back to his original alias as Doctor Octopus. Whatever the name, Doc Ock strove to prove his superior intelligence to the world. He is constantly scheming for more power. He has escalated gang wars, held a city for ransom, and made sure he is the only one who kills Spider-Man.\n\nWhy Influential: Dr. Octopus is one of Spider-Man\u2019s oldest and most famous villains. With such a long history with the webslinger, it should come as no surprise that he would make this list. He was the one responsible for forming the Sinister Six, who have remained one of the greatest threats to Spider-Man\u2019s safety. Doc Ock attempted to marry May Parker, so he could acquire a Canadian Nuclear power plant; having your greatest enemies marry the women who raised you can be a traumatic life event. When Octavius was dying, he switched minds with Peter Parker and became Superior Spider-Man. Peter was trapped in Octavius\u2019 body when he died, and Dr. Octopus became the new Spider-Man. Not only did he defeat Spider-Man, but he caused me to stop reading his comics. I look forward to the real Peter Parker\u2019s return, so I can enjoy his stories once again.\n\nHarry Osborn Green Goblin\nHarry Osborn Green Goblin\n\n6. Green Goblin\n\nFirst Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man #31\nReal Name: Harry Osborn\n\nAbout: Harry and Peter first met at Empire State Universtiy. Although a series of miscommunications put them at odds with each other, they eventually became best friends. Peter was there for Harry during his famous drug addiction and both have helped each other through difficult times. Sadly the saying, \u201cLike father like son\u201d is very true in the case of Harry and Norman Osborn. Harry would also suffer from psychological issues. He became the Green Goblin and continued his father\u2019s legacy. In his \u201clast battle\u201d with Spider-Man he almost killed his own son. Harry regained his mental clarity and was able to save both his son and Peter before they were buried in fiery rubble but was killed himself. Norman\u2019s death and most of his history after kicking his drug addiction were erased in the Brand New Day reboot. The cycle of friend and enemy are resumed once again.\n\nWhy Influential: Harry Osborn has not caused as much chaos in Peter\u2019s life as his father, but he did affect him on a very personal level. Harry is one of Peter Parker\u2019s oldest and dearest friends. A psychotic break caused Harry to take on the role of the Green Goblin and continue his father\u2019s desire to destroy Spider-Man. Peter was forced to fight his sick friend in order to save his loved ones. While fighting he also had to save the man he was battling. Not an easy task, physically or mentally.\n\n", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 397678, "pt_loc": 55488893, "pt_shuffle_idx": 231960369, "doc_index_f": 363598245, "doc_index_l": 363598246, "offset_f": 17, "offset_l": 1993, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 27, "pt_injection_len": 43, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [55, 1994]} +{"pt_doc": "Donald gave Kyle some basic directions for how to get around town, because _ was a tourist.\nOption 1: Donald\nOption 2: Kyle\nAnswer: 2<|endoftext|> In each trial, either a symmetric (target) or a non-symmetric pattern was superimposed on another random pattern (mask).

The information about the axis was manipulated by (1) priming: half of the trials had a line flashed before the trial indicating the axis orientation and (2) salience: the axis location fell within the apertures on half of the trials, but between them on the other half. We also systematically manipulated the mask dot density and measured the psychometric functions of percentage correct responses for a range of mask densities in a constant stimuli paradigm.\n\n The slope of the psychometric functions, a measure of the observer\u2019s state of uncertainty, was about the same regardless of the priming and axis salience manipulations.

Conversely, the target threshold vs. mask density function was flat at low mask density and increased with a slope of one beyond the same critical density that was increased by both salience and priming. Thus, we conclude that the awareness of the axis orientation increases perceptual sensitivity to symmetry and decreases the effect of the noise mask without affecting the level of uncertainty about the axis location.\n\n \u2022 Keywords: uncertainty, sensitivity, priming, salience\n \u2022 Support: NSC 96-2413-H-002-006-MY3\n \u2022 Corresponding Email:\n\n\n \u201cSadness\u201d Components Dominated Expression Judgment on Ambiguous Faces\n\n Mei Yen Chen, Department of Psychology, National Taiwan University, Taiwan\n Chien Chung Chen, Department of Psychology, National Taiwan University, Taiwan\n\n Facial expression, as a combination of movements and states of facial muscles, is an efficient and accurate indication of emotion. A reliable judgment of one another\u2019s expressions is important for human activities in a social environment. We are interested in how such efficient and reliable expression judgment is possible given that there are only subtle differences in facial features among different expressions. In this study, we investigated how the visual system integrates emotional signals transmitted on individual or a combination of facial features into a unified percept of facial expressions. We used face images with different emotion valence that were created by interpolating either between neutral and happy or between neutral to sad. In each trial, the stimulus was a composite face whose upper and lower parts were randomly selected from different morphs. The task of the observers was to press keys to indicate whether the stimulus represents \u201csad\u201d or \u201chappy\u201d in each trial. When the expressions of the upper and lower parts of the face were consistent, the probability of \u201chappy\u201d response increased with happy valence and decreased with sad valence. However, when they were inconsistent, the observers always made \u201csad\u201d response. In addition, the increment of happy valence actually led to an increment in the \u201csad\u201d response. This result suggests that the information used for facial expression judgment to a whole face cannot be a simple combination of information provided by local components. Components for a negative emotion may be able to attenuate the effects of the components for a positive emotion. As a result, components for a negative emotion dominate our expression judgment of an ambiguous face.\n\n \u2022 Keywords: face perception, facial expression\n \u2022 Support: NSC 96-2752-H-002-007-PAE\n\n\n How Consciousness and Spatial Frequencies interact during Face Processing\n\n Vincent de Gardelle, departement d'etudes cognitives, Ecole Normale Superieure, France\n Sid Kouider, departement d'etudes cognitives, Ecole Normale Superieure, France\n\n The field of face perception has always played an important role in the research on visual consciousness. Moreover, the role of spatial frequencies has raised a great interest on face processing research. However, little is known about the interaction between spatial frequency and visual consciousness. Recently, Bar et al. (2007) proposed a model of object recognition that distinguishes the respective role of High vs. Low spatial frequencies (HSF vs. LSF). On the one hand, HSF are assumed to be processed slowly along the ventral stream, conveying the content of visual consciousness. On the other hand, LSF propagates faster and directly from early visual areas to orbito-frontal cortex, and in the model the result of this fast and automatic LSF computation can modulate the slow processing of HSF.\n\n Here, we investigated whether the processing of spatial frequencies varies as a function of awareness during face perception. We used a masked face priming paradigm (Kouider & al., 2007) with hybrid prime images (i.e., mixture of LSF from one face and HSF from another) that where either visible or subliminal.\n\n Our results show that both low and high spatial frequencies information had a comparable influence under subliminal conditions. In addition, there was also a strong interaction with awareness: while HSF influences greatly increased with stimulus visibility, LSF influences remained unchanged.\n\n The fact that HSF information can be extracted from subliminal images goes against models that associate HSF with a slow and conscious processing. We also discussed the evidences in the light of the diagnostic approach (Ruiz-Soler & Bertrand, 2006, Smith & al, 2007), which predicts that the respective contribution of spatial frequencies are task-specific and context dependant. Further experiments are currently run in our lab to investigate diagnosticity and contextual modulation during subliminal and conscious face perception.\n\n \u2022 Keywords: consciousness, perception, faces, spatial frequencies, LSF, HSF, subliminal priming\n \u2022 Corresponding Email:\n\n\n How Do We Find Words In Implicit Artificial Language Learning?\n\n Arnaud Destrebecqz, Cognitive Science Research Unit, Universite libre de Bruxelles, Belgium\n Axel Cleeremans, Cognitive Science Research Unit, Universite libre de Bruxelles, Belgium\n\n Implicit learning is often viewed as a central mechanism in natural language learning. In line with this idea, recent studies have shown that infants and adults could identify the \"words\" of an artificial language in which the only cues available for word segmentation are the transitional probabilities between syllables. However, the exact nature of the learning mechanisms and of the computational models that can account for these results remains controversial.\n\n According to one class of models, statistical learning amounts to parse the speech stream by forming chunks between adjacent elements. In this view, the sensitivity to statistical regularities is an emergent property following from the acquisition of rigid, conscious, word-like representations. According to a second class of models (the Sequential Recurrent Network, SRN) learning is based on the computation of the statistical regularities present in the input. The ability to extract words out of the speech stream is then rooted in the processing of the basic statistical properties of the material. Learning occurs automatically and implicitly and the knowledge of the words follows from the flexible sensitivity to the transitional probabilities of the material.\n\n In order to contrast these two hypotheses, we ran experimental and simulation studies in which we studied, within the context of a Serial Reaction Time (SRT) task, the participants' and model's ability (1) to process statistical contingencies between non-adjacent elements and (2) to flexibly learn different artificial languages composed of a different set of words but sharing the same transitions between successive elements. These two kinds of linguistic regularities are indeed particularly challenging for models based on chunking processes.\n\n Our results show that the SRN can account for the essential features of human behavior suggesting that implicit statistical learning might be more powerful than previously anticipated and can indeed constitute a central mechanism of language processing.\n\n \u2022 Keywords:implicit statistical learning, connectionist models\n\n\n Conscious Reports Matter: Semantic 'Subliminal' Priming Differs According to Objective and Subjective Measures of Prime Awareness\n\n Doris Eckstein, MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, United Kingdom\n Matt Davis, MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, United Kingdom\n Rik Henson, MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, United Kingdom\n\n Words that are presented below visibility threshold are called \u2018subliminal\u2019, because it is assumed that they are processed nonconsciously to a certain extent. Psycholinguistic researchers for instance investigate orthographic priming with subliminally presented prime words, where the letter information in the prime words is known to have an effect on word recognition of a subsequent probe word (a so-called priming effect). One of the most frequent methods of subliminal presentation is to hide words in rapid sequences of pattern masks. Because the threshold of visibility depends on many factors that cannot be controlled in an experiment, word visibility must be controlled after a priming test. One way to assess visibility is to ask the participants to describe their phenomenal perception of the masked words. This measure is often thought to be too crude and unreliable. Another way involves measuring the visibility of masked words in a further experiment, where participants are asked to try to classify the masked words. We present experiments on subliminal category priming, for which prime visibility was assessed with various tests and verbal reports. Phenomenal awareness or unawareness of the prime words modulated semantic priming, as did prime visibility \u2013 but the two measures were not correlated and had clearly differential effects on priming.

But how is geothermal power harvested from the energy for use?\n\nThe Geothermal Energy Extraction Process\n\nWe learn the basic concept of the geothermal energy extraction process in an article from the Union of Concerned Scientists:\n\n \u2022 Geothermal power plants drill holes deep into the hot inner core of the Earth to adequately capture the steam\n \u2022 Utilize the steam as energy\n \u2022 Return the warm water to under the Earth to prolong the heat below\n\nThree Ways to Extract Geothermal Energy\n\n \u2022 Dry Steam: Steam pulls through a power plant turbine into a condenser, which condenses the steam into water\n \u2022 Depressurize: Depressurize Earth\u2019s as-hot-as-the-sun water into steam\n \u2022 Binary Cycle System: Earth\u2019s hot water passes through a heat exchanger where it heats isobutane (which boils at a lower temperature than water) in a closed loop, creating steam\n\nAre Geothermal Energy Systems Environmentally Safe?\n\nImplementing a new primary energy source is not to be taken lightly. With the overuse of fossil fuels for over the last 300 years, we need to tread carefully. The future of our planet is at stake.\u00a0\n\nAccording to studies completed by the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory and the Energy of Geoscience Institute, Geothermal energy is the least harmful environmental energy source (when compared with natural gas, petroleum, and coal).\n\nThese systems are safer for our environment, and thus safer for ourselves, because geothermal energy systems:\n\n \u2022 Don\u2019t burn fossil fuels\n \u2022 Produces only one-sixth of carbon dioxide that a natural gas power plant produces\n \u2022 Don\u2019t release any emissions\n \u2022 Uses a relatively low amount of power\u00a0\n \u2022 Creates efficient cooling and heating systems\n \u2022 Emits close to no greenhouse gases\n\nIs Geothermal Energy Renewable?\n\nFossil fuels are a temporary energy source because it (prehistoric matter) does not replenish itself. It begs the question if a new primary wellspring will inevitably run out just as fossil fuels will, perpetuating the cycle for our future generations.\n\nAs detailed above, geothermal energy fits within the context of a renewable energy source. Much like the heat of the sun, the Earth\u2019s deep inner core of heat will not run cold (not if there remains living organisms). Thus, because the heat source (inner core) of the geothermal energy system replenishes and is inexhaustible, it is considered renewable.\n\nWhy Support Geothermal Energy?\n\nFirst and foremost: \u201cthe nation's diverse portfolio of renewable energy technologies offers increasingly affordable solutions for providing clean. reliable energy for the 21st Century and will be a key component of the nation's long-term energy future and economic role in global energy markets.\u201d\n\nDetailed in an article from the Geothermal Energy Association, specifically sponsoring geothermal systems is also supporting an inexhaustible, replenishable supply of energy. Furthermore, geothermal energy:\n\n \u2022 Is reliable\u00a0\n \u2022 Creates jobs and economic growth\n \u2022 Promotes National Security\n \u2022 Is environmentally friendly\n \u2022 Increases U.S. exports abroad\n \u2022 Supports local economic development\n \u2022 Is a versatile energy source\n \u2022 Makes good economic sense\n \u2022 Uses humanly approachable technology\n \u2022 Is widely available\n\nOverall, supporting geothermal energy promotes a strong economy, is easy to access and use, and is a versatile, reliable, and a renewable, clean energy source.\u00a0\n\nUsing Geothermal Energy\n\nIt wasn\u2019t until the oil shortages of the 1970s presented itself as a threat to our planet by resulting in an energy crisis. Consequently, the Department of Energy (DOE) was born. In addition to being responsible for advancing energy security of the United States, the DOE also implements policies regarding fossil fuels and alternative energy sources.\u00a0\n\nIn just 17 years, from 2000 to 2017, renewable energy sources have doubled, including Geothermal energy, due to the requirements and incentives enacted and it is predicted to increase further.\n\ngeothermal power plant\n\n\nToday, we are using three main types of geothermal energy systems. Let\u2019s explore these systems to better understand how we can all support an effective renewable energy system.\n\nDirect Use\n\nSince ancient times, humans have used hot springs for cleaning, cooking, and heating. Today, direct use of geothermal energy looks like pumping hot water just under the earth\u2019s surface directly into buildings for heat.\n\nElectricity Generation\u00a0\n\nGenerating electricity requires higher water temperatures (found a couple of miles below the Earth\u2019s surface). Today, creating electricity through geothermal energy comes from power plants by drilling deep into the Earth\u2019s surface.\u00a0\n\nGeothermal Heat Pumps\n\nSimilar to direct use, geothermal heat pumps transfer heat from the ground into buildings during cold months. Initiated in the hot months is a reversal of the process.\u00a0\n\nIn Conclusion\n\nReason reveals that because fossil fuels have become the primary source of energy for so many centuries, in addition to the political power and money invested in fossil fuels, the change to renewable energy will take time, global support, and a shift in mentality.\u00a0\n\nChange can be hard. But imagine being a part of something brilliant: a future of boundless, geothermal energy. To take action today, The Union of Concerned Scientists urges us to:\n\n \u2022 Seal your house up (preventing the escape of hot and cold air)\n \u2022 Install a programmable thermostat (to control the energy usage while you are away)\n \u2022 Use power strips (to avoid energy waste)\n \u2022 Upgrade appliances over five years old (new appliances are twice as efficient)\n \u2022 Use an electricity monitor (to monitor areas of energy leaks)\n \u2022 Change bulbs to LED (same light for 15% of the energy)\n \u2022 Wash clothes in cold water (detergents today are efficient with cold water)\n\nLike Maui, we need to lasso our abundant and renewable geothermal energy before the damage to our environment and Earth becomes permanently irreversible. It\u2019s time to look toward our future possibilities, and stop living in the past.\n\nPin It on Pinterest\n\nShare This<|endoftext|>Nelson boils his eggs for 8 minets while Joel boils them for only 4, because _ like hard boiled eggs.\nOption 1: Nelson\nOption 2: Joel\nAnswer: 1<|endoftext|>March 2nd, 2009\n01:23 PM ET\n5 years ago\n\nGOP chairman says he leads party, not Rush Limbaugh\n\n Steele says he is the leader of the GOP.\nSteele says he is the leader of the GOP.\n\n\n\nAnd Steele described Limbaugh as a performer.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBut a top Republican in Congress disagreed.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFiled under: Rush Limbaugh\nsoundoff (1,100 Responses)\n 1.

Furthermore, when the earth\u2019s crust is broken by tectonic plates, causing volcanoes to occur, the lava and magma heat the rocks and water below the earth\u2019s surface.\n\nGeothermal power is the force behind the versatile, inexhaustible geothermal energy. But how is geothermal power harvested from the energy for use?\n\nThe Geothermal Energy Extraction Process\n\nWe learn the basic concept of the geothermal energy extraction process in an article from the Union of Concerned Scientists:\n\n \u2022 Geothermal power plants drill holes deep into the hot inner core of the Earth to adequately capture the steam\n \u2022 Utilize the steam as energy\n \u2022 Return the warm water to under the Earth to prolong the heat below\n\nThree Ways to Extract Geothermal Energy\n\n \u2022 Dry Steam: Steam pulls through a power plant turbine into a condenser, which condenses the steam into water\n \u2022 Depressurize: Depressurize Earth\u2019s as-hot-as-the-sun water into steam\n \u2022 Binary Cycle System: Earth\u2019s hot water passes through a heat exchanger where it heats isobutane (which boils at a lower temperature than water) in a closed loop, creating steam\n\nAre Geothermal Energy Systems Environmentally Safe?\n\nImplementing a new primary energy source is not to be taken lightly. With the overuse of fossil fuels for over the last 300 years, we need to tread carefully. The future of our planet is at stake.\u00a0\n\nAccording to studies completed by the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory and the Energy of Geoscience Institute, Geothermal energy is the least harmful environmental energy source (when compared with natural gas, petroleum, and coal).\n\nThese systems are safer for our environment, and thus safer for ourselves, because geothermal energy systems:\n\n \u2022 Don\u2019t burn fossil fuels\n \u2022 Produces only one-sixth of carbon dioxide that a natural gas power plant produces\n \u2022 Don\u2019t release any emissions\n \u2022 Uses a relatively low amount of power\u00a0\n \u2022 Creates efficient cooling and heating systems\n \u2022 Emits close to no greenhouse gases\n\nIs Geothermal Energy Renewable?\n\nFossil fuels are a temporary energy source because it (prehistoric matter) does not replenish itself. It begs the question if a new primary wellspring will inevitably run out just as fossil fuels will, perpetuating the cycle for our future generations.\n\nAs detailed above, geothermal energy fits within the context of a renewable energy source. Much like the heat of the sun, the Earth\u2019s deep inner core of heat will not run cold (not if there remains living organisms). Thus, because the heat source (inner core) of the geothermal energy system replenishes and is inexhaustible, it is considered renewable.\n\nWhy Support Geothermal Energy?\n\nFirst and foremost: \u201cthe nation's diverse portfolio of renewable energy technologies offers increasingly affordable solutions for providing clean. reliable energy for the 21st Century and will be a key component of the nation's long-term energy future and economic role in global energy markets.\u201d\n\nDetailed in an article from the Geothermal Energy Association, specifically sponsoring geothermal systems is also supporting an inexhaustible, replenishable supply of energy. Furthermore, geothermal energy:\n\n \u2022 Is reliable\u00a0\n \u2022 Creates jobs and economic growth\n \u2022 Promotes National Security\n \u2022 Is environmentally friendly\n \u2022 Increases U.S. exports abroad\n \u2022 Supports local economic development\n \u2022 Is a versatile energy source\n \u2022 Makes good economic sense\n \u2022 Uses humanly approachable technology\n \u2022 Is widely available\n\nOverall, supporting geothermal energy promotes a strong economy, is easy to access and use, and is a versatile, reliable, and a renewable, clean energy source.\u00a0\n\nUsing Geothermal Energy\n\nIt wasn\u2019t until the oil shortages of the 1970s presented itself as a threat to our planet by resulting in an energy crisis. Consequently, the Department of Energy (DOE) was born. In addition to being responsible for advancing energy security of the United States, the DOE also implements policies regarding fossil fuels and alternative energy sources.\u00a0\n\nIn just 17 years, from 2000 to 2017, renewable energy sources have doubled, including Geothermal energy, due to the requirements and incentives enacted and it is predicted to increase further.\n\ngeothermal power plant\n\n\nToday, we are using three main types of geothermal energy systems. Let\u2019s explore these systems to better understand how we can all support an effective renewable energy system.\n\nDirect Use\n\nSince ancient times, humans have used hot springs for cleaning, cooking, and heating. Today, direct use of geothermal energy looks like pumping hot water just under the earth\u2019s surface directly into buildings for heat.\n\nElectricity Generation\u00a0\n\nGenerating electricity requires higher water temperatures (found a couple of miles below the Earth\u2019s surface). Today, creating electricity through geothermal energy comes from power plants by drilling deep into the Earth\u2019s surface.\u00a0\n\nGeothermal Heat Pumps\n\nSimilar to direct use, geothermal heat pumps transfer heat from the ground into buildings during cold months. Initiated in the hot months is a reversal of the process.\u00a0\n\nIn Conclusion\n\nReason reveals that because fossil fuels have become the primary source of energy for so many centuries, in addition to the political power and money invested in fossil fuels, the change to renewable energy will take time, global support, and a shift in mentality.\u00a0\n\nChange can be hard. But imagine being a part of something brilliant: a future of boundless, geothermal energy. To take action today, The Union of Concerned Scientists urges us to:\n\n \u2022 Seal your house up (preventing the escape of hot and cold air)\n \u2022 Install a programmable thermostat (to control the energy usage while you are away)\n \u2022 Use power strips (to avoid energy waste)\n \u2022 Upgrade appliances over five years old (new appliances are twice as efficient)\n \u2022 Use an electricity monitor (to monitor areas of energy leaks)\n \u2022 Change bulbs to LED (same light for 15% of the energy)\n \u2022 Wash clothes in cold water (detergents today are efficient with cold water)\n\nLike Maui, we need to lasso our abundant and renewable geothermal energy before the damage to our environment and Earth becomes permanently irreversible. It\u2019s time to look toward our future possibilities, and stop living in the past.\n\nPin It on Pinterest\n\nShare This<|endoftext|>March 2nd, 2009\n01:23 PM ET\n5 years ago\n\nGOP chairman says he leads party, not Rush Limbaugh\n\n Steele says he is the leader of the GOP.\nSteele says he is the leader of the GOP.\n\n\n\nAnd Steele described Limbaugh as a performer.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBut a top Republican in Congress disagreed.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFiled under: Rush Limbaugh\nsoundoff (1,100 Responses)\n 1.

Most vents are attached to the wall with two small screws. Simply unscrew them with a power drill, but make sure you save the screws. Those little screws are small, but they are on the shape and difficult to replace.\u00a0\n\nClean the Vents Thoroughly\n\nThe most thorough way to clean your vents is to soak them in hot water and scrub them with a sponge. However, you do not want to completely soak your vents if they are wooden or metal. Just wipe them down with a moist rag. However, if you have vinyl, fiberglass or plastic vents, feel free to give them a good soak and scrub. Be particularly careful to clean off any black spots that look like mold. Having mold in your vents is very dangerous because your air conditioner can blow the moldy air throughout your house.\n\nClean the Ducts\n\nSince the vents are already removed from the walls, it would be foolish to not also check and clean the ducts. You will definitely need a flashlight for this. If you notice that your ducks look dusty deep inside, you will need some way to reach in. Most people just use a broom to clean in as far as possible. However, there's a good chance that there might be dust that you cannot reach within normal broom. You can either create your own contraption, using along stick like a telescoping painter's pole, or you can invest in a professional duct cleaning. A duct cleaning will be very affordable if you have already removed the vents from your wall. It will probably only take an hour or two and is the best way to ensure that your ducts are thoroughly cleaned.\n\nOnce your vents and ducts are clean, you can reattach your vents to the wall and enjoy fresher air with a stronger current.

For software systems that need to be reliable (compilers, database systems, whatever), the following seems like an attractive design methodology: 1. Formalize the specifications for the software's behavior 2. Validate that these specifications are really the intent 3. Create an efficient implementation 4. Verify that the implementation satisfies its specification In the talk, I will talk about using this methodology in the development of an XML processor in ACL2. Along the way, I'll digress about using exhaustive testing as a proof technique. This technique has been quite useful to me in this work, and may be more widely applicable. I'll also talk briefly about reasoning about state in order to be able to use the file input functions (read-byte$ and read-char$) from within ACL2 code that needs to be reasoned about and have its guards verified.

It is expected that one goes through the procedures as well as the instructions thoroughly before indulging in the process.\n\n\nTags Related\nYou may also like<|endoftext|>Feline RDP #74: Feline\u00a0Zest\n\n\n\u201cMrs. Human, the zest of life is not having a lemon pushed under your nose and taking a photo just to be able to write a blog about it. My blogs are islands of peace and tranquility where no feline has to have nightmares by seeing lemons. Have you ever seen a feline drinking water flavoured with lemon juice, or a feline biting a lemon for the pleasure of it? \u00a0No, we are allergic to lemons. You will never see a feline resting in the shade of a lemon tree.\u201d\n\n\u201cBut Tabby, the theme is about zest and I found the photo suited the theme quite well.\u201d\n\n\u201cThen ask my permission first of all. My feline groupies look forward to reading about life from a feline point of view and today they are confronted with a lemon meowmares. Even a banana would be better, but I suppose I should be thankful that it was not a cucumber.\u201d\n\n\u201cWhat is wrong with a cucumber Tabby?\u201d\n\n\u201cDon\u2019t ask Mrs. Human, If you have not yet discovered the evil intentions of a cucumber to ruin the stability of a feline life, then there is no point. Every feline knows what a cucumber can do to reduce the zest in a feline life. And talking of zest it has nothing to do with lemons. It is what we felines need to get through our nine lives, less those that might have got lost on the way. It gives energy to maintain our sleeping sessions daily and supports us in licking our fur regularly. Not to mention the concentration we need when having lengthy staring sessions with walls. They stare back you know, and it is not easy to be constantly watching. If we break the contact the wall might crumble.\u201d\n\n\u201cOh I see Tabby, thankyou for the explanation. In future I will only show vitamin pellets on the photo for inspiration.\u201d\n\n\u201cMrs. Human, have you actually understood what I said. We have had lengthy discussions about the advantages and \u00a0mainly disadvantages of the vitamin pellets.\u201d\n\n\u201cI know Tabby, but you must admit they are good for you.\u201d\n\n\u201cYes something like lemons.\u201d\n\nFeline RDP #74: Feline Zest<|endoftext|>Date: Mon, 07 Feb 2005 12:36:55 -0600 From: Jared Davis Subject: This week in ACL2 Hi, At this week's ACL2 meeting, I'll be talking about using ACL2 as an environment for formal software development. For software systems that need to be reliable (compilers, database systems, whatever), the following seems like an attractive design methodology: 1. Formalize the specifications for the software's behavior 2. Validate that these specifications are really the intent 3. Create an efficient implementation 4. Verify that the implementation satisfies its specification In the talk, I will talk about using this methodology in the development of an XML processor in ACL2. Along the way, I'll digress about using exhaustive testing as a proof technique. This technique has been quite useful to me in this work, and may be more widely applicable. I'll also talk briefly about reasoning about state in order to be able to use the file input functions (read-byte$ and read-char$) from within ACL2 code that needs to be reasoned about and have its guards verified.

It\u2019s a strange thing to recall, especially distinctly, but the encounter was so profoundly upsetting that it towers above every other incident of bigotry I\u2019ve ever come upon. Not to mention that the homophobe in question was my boyfriend at the time.\n\n\nWe had decided to flee the humdrum that comes with being two pitifully broke, young people living in Johannesburg and headed to a nearby hangout spot in Braamfontein. Tipsy on boxed wine and welling up with exuberance, we queued up for a night of mad, rhapsodic dancing. Upon entering, my ex noted that the place was crowded with homosexual men. It seemed an odd thing to note at the time, because in my tipsiness, all I could see was a continuous band of brown, carousing bodies.\n\n\nAlthough the night was thickening in its vigour and festivity, witnessing my ex\u2019s increasing discomfort caused a dwindling to my own exuberance. I\u2019m not quite sure what led up to the argument (music and wine addle my brain) but I can clearly remember my face soaked in tears, my glass of wine trembling in my hand and my voice audibly reaching for the cosmos. Right there, amid the wild gyrating and budding hook-ups, was me, head-to-head with a man whose hatefulness was revealing itself like the sun of a thousand dawns. All the points raised in the argument are too lengthy to note here, but his one prevailing sentiment was that it was OK to hate gay people because of the unnaturalness of homosexuality. \u201cGod created man and woman to procreate, not two men or two women\u201d, he\u2019d say. His weak attempts at using religion and biology to justify his unwavering hatred for people because of their differentness took me back to the first time I read The Venus Hottentot:\nIf he were to let me rise up\n\nfrom this table, I\u2019d spirit\n\nhis knives and cut out his black heart,\n\nseal it with science fluid inside\n\na bell jar, place it on a low\n\nshelf in a white man\u2019s museum\n\nso the whole world could see\n\nit was shrivelled, and hard,\n\ngeometric, deformed, unnatural.\n\n\nThese are the words poet Elizabeth Alexander imagined Sarah Baartman would have said on her autopsy table as Georges Cuvier dissected her lifeless body and, in the greater context of her troubled life, her humanness, in the name of science. She was taken from her native South Africa and shipped to London where she lived as a freak show for the bulk of her adult life. She was gawked at, proverbially tarred and feathered with her \u2018otherness\u2019 as her one great crime, while white fingers pointed at her in delighted mockery. Her exhibitions occurred at a time when scientific racism was frequently used as justification for white imperialism and even slavery. Scientific racism is the usage of scientific techniques to sanction the belief in racial inferiority and superiority.\n\nI couldn\u2019t help but wonder how he felt he was any different to the white man of yore who felt justified in placing people like him and me on a spectrum of existence somewhere between civilised European and barbaric ape \u2013 somewhere between human and animal.\n\n\nIn his thesis, naturalist Georges Cuvier compared Baartman\u2019s genitals to those of orang-utans and \u2018her vivacity when alive to the quickness of monkeys\u2019.\n\n\nCuvier is one of many scientists of the 18th and 19th century that likened Africans to apes and used their respective studies as proof of a natural racial hierarchy. Along with misinterpreted Bible verses, scientific \u2018findings\u2019 were used to perpetuate the notion of innate, black inferiority and to justify oppression.\n\n\nAnd as my ex was harping on about the unnaturalness of homosexuality and alluded to God\u2019s disapproval as proof of homosexual inferiority and heterosexual superiority, I couldn\u2019t help but wonder how he felt he was any different to the white man of yore who felt justified in placing people like him and me on a spectrum of existence somewhere between civilised European and barbaric ape \u2013 somewhere between human and animal. He is an educated man; he knows that wherever bigotry thrives, the air is drained of freedom and an entire people are made to suffocate. He knows of the transatlantic slave trade; of apartheid; that his very parents were oppressed at the hands of bigots who held the belief in this spectrum so dearly. He sees how the effects of this oppression has trickled down to his welfare and will trickle down to the welfare of his future offspring. How is he saying gay people are \u201cmorally inferior\u201d any different to Dudley Kidd describing Africans as \u201chopelessly deficient\u201d? He uses Leviticus 18:22 as ammunition against gay people while the ammunition used against the Africans of old was Genesis 9:20-27 \u2013 both bullets in the same barrel of prejudice used to wage terror against anyone non-white, non-straight, and non-man.\n\n\nAnd herein lies my gripe with the black homophobe. He will complain about the wage gap between him and his white counterparts , bemoan poor service received because of the colour of his skin, is riled when he is called kaffir but has no reservations about yelling \u201cdon\u2019t touch me, faggot\u201d when accidently stroked by a gay man. He tries to glean sympathy from the world because \u201cbeing black in a white man\u2019s world is so hard!\u201d while the gay man and lesbian woman who live under his foot are constantly brutalised. I will not venture into which struggle is \u2018harder\u2019, but my humanity will not allow hatred to fester in places where compassion is needed, without raising my voice about it. Black homophobe, I will tell you what you are so fond of telling your white neighbour: CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE!

During the school year, I would spend the afternoons at his house, and in the summer, we were together a lot. One thing I do remember is that he always had a patch of rhubarb growing in the back yard. I can't remember him baking much, except for a couple delicious rhubarb desserts, Rhubarb Cobbler\u00a0and Rhubarb Crumb Pie. \u00a0\n\n\u00a0 One time, I remember him making Rhubarb Cobbler with me, teaching me each and every step along the way. It wasn't until after it came out of the oven that we realized we had used baking soda instead of baking powder! No wonder it didn't rise properly. However, I'm pretty sure we still devoured it. \u00a0 Today, I'm sharing with you an adaptation of my grandpa's Rhubarb Crumb Pie with the addition of strawberries. Nothing is quite like the combination of strawberries and rhubarb! If you've never tried it, you're in for a treat. The sweet strawberries balance the tangy rhubarb quite perfectly, if I do say so myself. Top it off with a crumb topping and you've almost got the perfect dessert. All that's needed is a scoop of vanilla ice cream! \u00a0 \u00a0 Start with the fruit - 2 cups of diced strawberries and 2 cups of diced rhubarb. If you can't find fresh rhubarb, frozen works just fine! Just be sure to thaw it and squeeze out the extra moisture. \u00a0\n\n\u00a0 \u00a0 Combine the fruit with a little lot of sugar (this is not for low-sugar diets!), a bit of flour, and some eggs to hold it all together. Pour it into the crust, and then make your crumb topping. \u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0 For the topping, combine a bit of flour and brown sugar and cut in the cold butter until it's crumbly. You can use two knives, a pastry cutter, or even just rub the butter with your fingers until it becomes crumbly. (Which in my opinion is the easiest.) \u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0 Spread the topping over the crust, and after 50 minutes in the oven, you have pie perfection! \u00a0\n\n\u00a0 My recommendation? Serve it warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. \u00a0\n\n\u00a0 Pie and ice cream... life can't get much better. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________\n\nStrawberry Rhubarb Crumb Pie\n\n\n8 servings One 9-inch pie\n \u2022 1\u00a09-inch\u00a0unbaked pie shell\n \u2022 2\u00a0cups\u00a0diced rhubarb\n \u2022 2\u00a0cups\u00a0diced strawberries\n \u2022 1 \u00bd\u00a0cups\u00a0sugar\n \u2022 \u2153\u00a0cup\u00a0flour\n \u2022 dash\u00a0salt\n \u2022 3\u00a0eggs, lightly beaten\n \u2022 Crumb Topping\n \u2022 \u00be\u00a0cup\u00a0flour\n \u2022 \u2153\u00a0cup\u00a0brown sugar\n \u2022 6\u00a0tablespoons\u00a0cold butter\n\n\nPreheat oven to 400*F.

During the school year, I would spend the afternoons at his house, and in the summer, we were together a lot. One thing I do remember is that he always had a patch of rhubarb growing in the back yard. I can't remember him baking much, except for a couple delicious rhubarb desserts, Rhubarb Cobbler\u00a0and Rhubarb Crumb Pie. \u00a0\n\n\u00a0 One time, I remember him making Rhubarb Cobbler with me, teaching me each and every step along the way. It wasn't until after it came out of the oven that we realized we had used baking soda instead of baking powder! No wonder it didn't rise properly. However, I'm pretty sure we still devoured it. \u00a0 Today, I'm sharing with you an adaptation of my grandpa's Rhubarb Crumb Pie with the addition of strawberries. Nothing is quite like the combination of strawberries and rhubarb! If you've never tried it, you're in for a treat. The sweet strawberries balance the tangy rhubarb quite perfectly, if I do say so myself. Top it off with a crumb topping and you've almost got the perfect dessert. All that's needed is a scoop of vanilla ice cream! \u00a0 \u00a0 Start with the fruit - 2 cups of diced strawberries and 2 cups of diced rhubarb. If you can't find fresh rhubarb, frozen works just fine! Just be sure to thaw it and squeeze out the extra moisture. \u00a0\n\n\u00a0 \u00a0 Combine the fruit with a little lot of sugar (this is not for low-sugar diets!), a bit of flour, and some eggs to hold it all together. Pour it into the crust, and then make your crumb topping. \u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0 For the topping, combine a bit of flour and brown sugar and cut in the cold butter until it's crumbly. You can use two knives, a pastry cutter, or even just rub the butter with your fingers until it becomes crumbly. (Which in my opinion is the easiest.) \u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0 Spread the topping over the crust, and after 50 minutes in the oven, you have pie perfection! \u00a0\n\n\u00a0 My recommendation? Serve it warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. \u00a0\n\n\u00a0 Pie and ice cream... life can't get much better. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________\n\nStrawberry Rhubarb Crumb Pie\n\n\n8 servings One 9-inch pie\n \u2022 1\u00a09-inch\u00a0unbaked pie shell\n \u2022 2\u00a0cups\u00a0diced rhubarb\n \u2022 2\u00a0cups\u00a0diced strawberries\n \u2022 1 \u00bd\u00a0cups\u00a0sugar\n \u2022 \u2153\u00a0cup\u00a0flour\n \u2022 dash\u00a0salt\n \u2022 3\u00a0eggs, lightly beaten\n \u2022 Crumb Topping\n \u2022 \u00be\u00a0cup\u00a0flour\n \u2022 \u2153\u00a0cup\u00a0brown sugar\n \u2022 6\u00a0tablespoons\u00a0cold butter\n\n\nPreheat oven to 400*F.

If \u201cuniversal\u201d means to include all humans, then what is the difference between \u201cuniversal design\u201d and \u201chuman-centered design\u201d?\n\nSarah: For me, the short answer is no. I feel like people are always designing for a specific thing, and by having that, you\u2019d have a target audience. Having a target audience in of itself already entails that there\u2019ll always be people outside that intended audience.\n\nAlison: I think \u201cuniversal design\u201d sounds good in theory, but I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s necessary. Universal design is impossible because it\u2019s impossible to truly understand all humans.\n\nSarah: The goal is to at least try to be as cognizant of inclusivity in design as possible, since it could potentially create unintended consequences by not doing so.\n\nAlison: And the people who face these consequences usually aren\u2019t the designers \u2014 they are the ones who fall short of the term \u201cuniversal\u201d in people\u2019s minds.\n\nSarah: Yeah, like mentioned in our Design and Social Justice lecture, sometimes people subconsciously design with straight white males in mind due to the pre-existing mental schemas they have.\n\nAlison: This is something we also talked about in my Environments studio track; as we were prototyping interactions that required users to touch the interface with both hands, my professor asked how a disabled person who has one arm could interact instead. No matter how hard you might try to be inclusive, there are always different people to account for.\n\nFrom this discussion and the lectures in class, we both agreed that it\u2019s our role to be mindful of inclusivity, even though it\u2019s impossible to be 100% inclusive of everyone\u2019s experiences and worldviews. Moreover, though inclusivity is obvious in design, we also agreed that we were definitely reminded of being aware of the faults in not keeping track of our personal internal biases. We decided that human-centered design doesn\u2019t mean designing for everyone; it means actively listening and designing for any human in a respectful and flexible way \u2014 knowing that even if we cannot relate, we will try to understand. This way, we can become designers who will create spaces that are increasingly safe and meaningful for more people to experience.\n\nHey!

In this pronunciation lesson today I'm going to teach you how to pronounce I've, where, it's, didn't and many more of the most common contractions in spoken English.\n\nAnd at the end you and I are going to practise speaking together. We'll practise using\u00a0these contractions in short dialogue back and forth in a regular conversation\u00a0together.\n\nIf you want to jump past the pronunciation work and you want to practise\u00a0speaking fluently with me in this dialogue you can jump over to that timestamp there but\u00a0I recommend that you spend some time with me now warming up your mouth muscles and practising\u00a0with me first.\n\nIf your goal is to sound relaxed and natural when you speak English you have got\u00a0to practise with me in this lesson.\n\nAre you ready?\n\n\nSo what is a contraction?\n\nA shortened form of a word where there are fewer sounds spoken. For example, the word have can be heard in an English sentence just as \u2018ve. And most English contractions involve auxiliary or modal verbs and these are\u00a0often unstressed parts of a sentence.\n\nSo the sounds change and they reduce, they become lower in pitch, harder to hear.\n\nYou'll hear contractions used by native English speakers all the time when they speak or maybe you won't because they're actually harder to hear and a little harder to process but you can also see them when they're written in informal English and you can usually recognise them because they have that little apostrophe.\n\nWhich one of these contractions is hardest for you to pronounce or is there another that you find really difficult? Let me know down in the comments.\n\nSo in this lesson we're going to go through all of the contractions that are made by auxiliary\u00a0verbs: do, have, and be. And there are plenty of them.\n\n\n\nLet's start with do, the auxiliary verb in the simple tense. But you'll only hear it spoken as a contraction when it's used in its negative form, do not, which is don't. There are two things that I want you to notice here.\n\nOne is\u00a0that vowel sound changes.\n\nDon't is different to do. Don't.\n\nThe second is that stop T which is really, really common. Instead of hearing that T sound fully aspirated with that release of air to make the sound, the stop T\u00a0 \u00a0stops it short before the air is released. It's like you catch the sound. Listen to the difference. Don't.\n\nI'm releasing the air. Don't or don't.\n\nSometimes my students say to me \u201cBut Emma I can't hear that T, it's not\u00a0there!\u201d\n\nThat's not true because without that stopped T sound, that nasally sound continues for longer. Don't. Compare that to don't.\n\nSo that sound is stopped short, that's your stopped T sound. I probably could keep talking about that for a while but it's really, really common to hear that stopped T in negative contractions and in many other everyday English words that end in a T sound. Practise it with me.\n\nDon't. I don't want to go.\n\nWhat about does not?\n\nIt is way more common to hear native English speakers say\u00a0doesn't.\n\nAnd again you can hear that stopped T sound, right? You've also got two syllables there, one of them is stronger than the other. Can you hear it? Doesn't.\n\nThat first syllable. We've got a few tricky consonant sounds there at the end so you know if you're feeling a little bit stuck here, a little bit tongue-tied, why don't you just pause for a\u00a0minute and just focus on the end of that word?\n\nI mean really this word is often spoken so quickly that it sounds like So really just loosen up the\u00a0muscles in your mouth.\n\nDon't get stuck trying to be really precise. Doesn't.\n\n \u2022 He doesn't play football.\n \u2022 It doesn't matter.\n\nAnd then we have our past tense form, did not, which is didn't. You're right, didn't. That first D is stronger than the second one,\u00a0didn't.\n\nThere's that cluster again. Again I'm using that stop T sound because that's the most comfortable for me. You can choose whether you want to use the aspirated at the end or not. In my accent, it's very very common to hear the stop T.\n\nAre you ready to\u00a0practise with me?\n\n \u2022 I don't like it.\n \u2022 We don't eat meat.\n \u2022 They don't bother me.\n \u2022 She doesn't want to.\n \u2022 It doesn't matter.\n \u2022 You didn't call.\n \u2022 He didn't believe me.\n\n\n\nOkay now let's look at the verb be. So in the\u00a0present tense it conjugates to am, is and are.\n\nBe is a little different because it can be contracted when it's a main verb as well as when it's an auxiliary verb.\n\n \u2022 Here's the paper.\n \u2022 He's coming.\n\nSo\u00a0here the be verb is the main verb in our sentence and here it's the auxiliary verb. It's making the continuous tense. There are many be contractions to get through so I want to go through them one by one, practise out loud with me.

Don't or don't.\n\nSometimes my students say to me \u201cBut Emma I can't hear that T, it's not\u00a0there!\u201d\n\nThat's not true because without that stopped T sound, that nasally sound continues for longer. Don't. Compare that to don't.\n\nSo that sound is stopped short, that's your stopped T sound. I probably could keep talking about that for a while but it's really, really common to hear that stopped T in negative contractions and in many other everyday English words that end in a T sound. Practise it with me.\n\nDon't. I don't want to go.\n\nWhat about does not?\n\nIt is way more common to hear native English speakers say\u00a0doesn't.\n\nAnd again you can hear that stopped T sound, right? You've also got two syllables there, one of them is stronger than the other. Can you hear it? Doesn't.\n\nThat first syllable. We've got a few tricky consonant sounds there at the end so you know if you're feeling a little bit stuck here, a little bit tongue-tied, why don't you just pause for a\u00a0minute and just focus on the end of that word?\n\nI mean really this word is often spoken so quickly that it sounds like So really just loosen up the\u00a0muscles in your mouth.\n\nDon't get stuck trying to be really precise. Doesn't.\n\n \u2022 He doesn't play football.\n \u2022 It doesn't matter.\n\nAnd then we have our past tense form, did not, which is didn't. You're right, didn't. That first D is stronger than the second one,\u00a0didn't.\n\nThere's that cluster again. Again I'm using that stop T sound because that's the most comfortable for me. You can choose whether you want to use the aspirated at the end or not. In my accent, it's very very common to hear the stop T.\n\nAre you ready to\u00a0practise with me?\n\n \u2022 I don't like it.\n \u2022 We don't eat meat.\n \u2022 They don't bother me.\n \u2022 She doesn't want to.\n \u2022 It doesn't matter.\n \u2022 You didn't call.\n \u2022 He didn't believe me.\n\n\n\nOkay now let's look at the verb be. So in the\u00a0present tense it conjugates to am, is and are.\n\nBe is a little different because it can be contracted when it's a main verb as well as when it's an auxiliary verb.\n\n \u2022 Here's the paper.\n \u2022 He's coming.\n\nSo\u00a0here the be verb is the main verb in our sentence and here it's the auxiliary verb. It's making the continuous tense. There are many be contractions to get through so I want to go through them one by one, practise out loud with me. I'm. You're.\n\nRemember the pronunciation is exactly the same as this word here. You're.\n\nAnd in my accent you don't really hear that", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 410766, "pt_loc": 198808081, "pt_shuffle_idx": 31873564, "doc_index_f": 49962789, "doc_index_l": 49962790, "offset_f": 193, "offset_l": 1493, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 35, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [555, 1494]} +{"pt_doc": "Jennifer helped Sarah with writing a fitness plan because _ was a success in the gym.\nOption 1: Jennifer\nOption 2: Sarah\nAnswer: 1<|endoftext|> exception of any kind occurs within the block, it is unlikely that the state of the transaction can be trusted. Additionally, the ``__exit__`` method provides a safe-guard against invalid commits. This can occur if a database error is inappropriately caught within a block without being raised. The context manager interfaces are higher level interfaces to the explicit instruction methods provided by `postgresql.api.Transaction` objects. Transaction Configuration ------------------------- Keyword arguments given to ``xact()`` provide the means for configuring the properties of the transaction. Only three points of configuration are available: ``isolation`` The isolation level of the transaction. This must be a string. It will be interpolated directly into the START TRANSACTION statement. Normally, 'SERIALIZABLE' or 'READ COMMITTED': >>> with db.xact('SERIALIZABLE'): ... ... ``mode`` A string, 'READ ONLY' or 'READ WRITE'. States the mutability of stored information in the database. Like ``isolation``, this is interpolated directly into the START TRANSACTION string. The specification of any of these transaction properties imply that the transaction is a block. Savepoints do not take configuration, so if a transaction identified as a block is started while another block is running, an exception will be raised. Transaction Interface Points ---------------------------- The methods available on transaction objects manage the state of the transaction and relay any necessary instructions to the remote server in order to reflect that change of state. >>> x = db.xact(...) ``x.start()`` Start the transaction. ``x.commit()`` Commit the transaction. ``x.rollback()`` Abort the transaction. These methods are primarily provided for applications that manage transactions in a way that cannot be formed around single, sequential blocks of code. Generally, using these methods require additional work to be performed by the code that is managing the transaction. If usage of these direct, instructional methods is necessary, it is important to note that if the database is in an error state when a *transaction block's* commit() is executed, an implicit rollback will occur. The transaction object will simply follow instructions and issue the ``COMMIT`` statement, and it will succeed without exception. Error Control ------------- Handling *database* errors inside transaction CMs is generally discouraged as any database operation that occurs within a failed transaction is an error itself. It is important to trap any recoverable database errors *outside* of the scope of the transaction's context manager: >>> try: ... with db.xact(): ... ... ... except postgresql.exceptions.UniqueError: ... pass In cases where the database is in an error state, but the context exits without an exception, a `postgresql.exceptions.InFailedTransactionError` is raised by the driver: >>> with db.xact(): ... try: ... ... ... except postgresql.exceptions.UniqueError: ... pass ... Traceback (most recent call last): ... postgresql.exceptions.InFailedTransactionError: invalid block exit detected CODE: 25P02 SEVERITY: ERROR Normally, if a ``COMMIT`` is issued on a failed transaction, the command implies a ``ROLLBACK`` without error. This is a very undesirable result for the CM's exit as it may allow for code to be ran that presumes the transaction was committed. The driver intervenes here and raises the `postgresql.exceptions.InFailedTransactionError` to safe-guard against such cases. This effect is consistent with savepoint releases that occur during an error state. The distinction between the two cases is made using the ``source`` property on the raised exception. Settings ======== SQL's SHOW and SET provides a means to configure runtime parameters on the database(\"GUC\"s). In order to save the user some grief, a `collections.MutableMapping` interface is provided to simplify configuration. The ``settings`` attribute on the connection provides the interface extension. The standard dictionary interface is supported: >>> db.settings['search_path'] = \"$user,public\" And ``update(...)`` is better performing for multiple sets: >>> db.settings.update({ ... 'search_path' : \"$user,public\", ... 'default_statistics_target' : \"1000\" ... }) .. note:: The ``transaction_isolation`` setting cannot be set using the ``settings`` mapping. Internally, ``settings`` uses ``set_config``, which cannot adjust that particular setting. Settings Interface Points ------------------------- Manipulation and interrogation of the connection's settings is achieved by using the standard `collections.MutableMapping` interfaces. ``Connection.settings[k]`` Get the value of a single setting. ``Connection.settings[k] = v`` Set the value of a single setting. ``Connection.settings.update([(k1,v2), (k2,v2), ..., (kn,vn)])`` Set multiple settings using a sequence of key-value pairs. ``Connection.settings.update({k1 : v1, k2 : v2, ..., kn : vn})`` Set multiple settings using a dictionary or mapping object. ``Connection.settings.getset([k1, k2, ..., kn])`` Get a set of a settings. This is the most efficient way to get multiple settings as it uses a single request. ``Connection.settings.keys()`` Get all available setting names. ``Connection.settings.values()`` Get all setting values. ``Connection.settings.items()`` Get a sequence of key-value pairs corresponding to all settings on the database. Settings Management ------------------- `postgresql.api.Settings` objects can create context managers when called. This gives the user with the ability to specify sections of code that are to be ran with certain settings. The settings' context manager takes full advantage of keyword arguments in order to configure the context manager: >>> with db.settings(search_path = 'local,public', timezone = 'mst'): ... ... `postgresql.api.Settings` objects are callable; the return is a context manager configured with the given keyword arguments representing the settings to use for the block of code that is about to be executed. When the block exits, the settings will be restored to the values that they had before the block entered.

If you need more information about your animal\u2019s medical condition or treatment, contact your veterinarian. If you want more information on the basis of the CVMP recommendations, read the scientific discussion (also part of the EPAR).\n\nWhat is Vectra 3D?\n\nVectra 3D is a veterinary medicine that contains three active substances: dinotefuran, pyriproxyfen and permethrin. It is available as a spot-on solution in applicators of five different strengths for use on dogs of different weights.\n\nWhat is Vectra 3D used for?\n\n\nThe dose of Vectra 3D depends on the dog\u2019s body weight. The content of one full Vectra 3D applicator is applied directly to the dog\u2019s skin, after parting its fur, either in one or more spots on the back, depending on the dog\u2019s weight, or in a continuous line along the centre of the back from the base of the tail to the shoulder blades. Treatment can be repeated once a month.\n\nHow does Vectra 3D work?\n\nThe active substances in Vectra 3D act as \u2018ectoparasiticides\u2019. This means that they kill parasites that live on the skin or in the fur of animals, such as fleas and ticks that feed on the animal\u2019s skin.\n\nDinotefuran and permethrin are insecticides which kill insects by acting on their nervous system by different mechanisms; permethrin also acts similarly on ticks. Dinotefuran acts on nerve receptors called nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and permethrin interferes with sodium channels on nerves that play a role in transmitting signals; when given together they reinforce each other\u2019s action. Pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator which stops the flea life cycle by causing production of infertile eggs as well as blocking development of juvenile flea stages into adults.\n\nHow has Vectra 3D been studied?\n\nThe effectiveness of Vectra 3D against fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and flies was investigated in 24 laboratory studies and in two field studies.\n\nOne field study involved 485 dogs with flea and/or tick infestations that were treated once either with Vectra 3D or another spot-on product containing two other substances that control fleas and ticks, fipronil and (s)-methoprene. The measure of effectiveness was reduction of flea and tick counts.\n\nA second field study involved 278 dogs with flea infestations which were treated three times at monthly intervals either with Vectra 3D or another spot-on product containing fipronil and (s)- methoprene. The measure of effectiveness was reduction of flea counts.\n\nWhat benefit has Vectra 3D shown during the studies?\n\nThe first field study showed that dogs treated with Vectra 3D had fleas reduced by 79% over the\n\n4 week study period compared with a reduction of 57% for dogs treated with the other product. The study also showed a reduction of over 90% in the signs of flea allergy dermatitis in dogs treated with either Vectra 3D or the comparator product. The dogs treated with Vectra 3D had an average tick reduction of 94% compared with 97% in the control group over 4 weeks.\n\nThe second field study showed that Vectra 3D-treated dogs had an average flea count reduction of 95% compared with 97% for the dogs treated with fipronil and (s)-methoprene.\n\nWhat is the risk associated with Vectra 3D?\n\nDogs may very rarely show short-lived redness, itching or other signs of discomfort at the application site. These usually disappear within 24 hours after administration. Dogs may very rarely vomit or have diarrhoea.\n\nFor a full list of all side-effects reported with Vectra 3D, see the package leaflet.\n\nVectra 3D must not be used on cats and they must not be allowed to groom dogs treated with the medicine, as it may cause harmful effects that could be fatal.\n\n\nPeople applying the medicine should not smoke, eat or drink and should wash their hands thoroughly after handling the product.\n\nIf accidental exposure to the eyes occurs, the eyes should be rinsed with water and in case of accidental exposure to the skin the skin should be washed with soap and water.\n\nIf skin or eye irritation persists, or if the veterinary medicine is accidentally swallowed, immediate medical advice should be sought and the package leaflet or label shown to the doctor.\n\nPeople with known hypersensitivity (allergy) to any of the ingredients should avoid contact with the product.\n\nChildren must not handle treated dogs for at least four hours after application of the veterinary medicine. Treated dogs should not be permitted to sleep with their owners, especially children, on the day of treatment.\n\nWhy has Vectra 3D been approved?\n\nThe Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use (CVMP) concluded that the benefits of Vectra 3D exceed the risks for the approved indications and recommended that Vectra 3D be given a marketing authorisation. The benefit/risk balance may be found in the scientific discussion module of this EPAR.\n\nOther information about Vectra 3D:\n\nThe European Commission granted a marketing authorisation valid throughout the European Union, for Vectra 3D on 04/12/2013. Information on the prescription status of this product may be found on the label/outer package.\n\nThis summary was last updated in October 2013.<|endoftext|>Summary statistics\n\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n\u00a0\u00a0(Redirected from Summary statistic)\nJump to: navigation, search\nBox plot of the Michelson\u2013Morley experiment, showing several summary statistics.\n\nIn descriptive statistics, summary statistics are used to summarize a set of observations, in order to communicate the largest amount of information as simply as possible.

Measures that assess spread in comparison to the typical size of data values include the coefficient of variation.\n\nThe Gini coefficient was originally developed to measure income inequality and is equivalent to one of the L-moments.\n\nA simple summary of a dataset is sometimes given by quoting particular order statistics as approximations to selected percentiles of a distribution.\n\n\nCommon measures of the shape of a distribution are skewness or kurtosis, while alternatives can be based on L-moments. A different measure is the distance skewness, for which a value of zero implies central symmetry.\n\n\nThe common measure of dependence between paired random variables is the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, while a common alternative summary statistic is Spearman's rank correlation coefficient.

Pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator which stops the flea life cycle by causing production of infertile eggs as well as blocking development of juvenile flea stages into adults.\n\nHow has Vectra 3D been studied?\n\nThe effectiveness of Vectra 3D against fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and flies was investigated in 24 laboratory studies and in two field studies.\n\nOne field study involved 485 dogs with flea and/or tick infestations that were treated once either with Vectra 3D or another spot-on product containing two other substances that control fleas and ticks, fipronil and (s)-methoprene. The measure of effectiveness was reduction of flea and tick counts.\n\nA second field study involved 278 dogs with flea infestations which were treated three times at monthly intervals either with Vectra 3D or another spot-on product containing fipronil and (s)- methoprene. The measure of effectiveness was reduction of flea counts.\n\nWhat benefit has Vectra 3D shown during the studies?\n\nThe first field study showed that dogs treated with Vectra 3D had fleas reduced by 79% over the\n\n4 week study period compared with a reduction of 57% for dogs treated with the other product. The study also showed a reduction of over 90% in the signs of flea allergy dermatitis in dogs treated with either Vectra 3D or the comparator product. The dogs treated with Vectra 3D had an average tick reduction of 94% compared with 97% in the control group over 4 weeks.\n\nThe second field study showed that Vectra 3D-treated dogs had an average flea count reduction of 95% compared with 97% for the dogs treated with fipronil and (s)-methoprene.\n\nWhat is the risk associated with Vectra 3D?\n\nDogs may very rarely show short-lived redness, itching or other signs of discomfort at the application site. These usually disappear within 24 hours after administration. Dogs may very rarely vomit or have diarrhoea.\n\nFor a full list of all side-effects reported with Vectra 3D, see the package leaflet.\n\nVectra 3D must not be used on cats and they must not be allowed to groom dogs treated with the medicine, as it may cause harmful effects that could be fatal.\n\n\nPeople applying the medicine should not smoke, eat or drink and should wash their hands thoroughly after handling the product.\n\nIf accidental exposure to the eyes occurs, the eyes should be rinsed with water and in case of accidental exposure to the skin the skin should be washed with soap and water.\n\nIf skin or eye irritation persists, or if the veterinary medicine is accidentally swallowed, immediate medical advice should be sought and the package leaflet or label shown to the doctor.\n\nPeople with known hypersensitivity (allergy) to any of the ingredients should avoid contact with the product.\n\nChildren must not handle treated dogs for at least four hours after application of the veterinary medicine. Treated dogs should not be permitted to sleep with their owners, especially children, on the day of treatment.\n\nWhy has Vectra 3D been approved?\n\nThe Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use (CVMP) concluded that the benefits of Vectra 3D exceed the risks for the approved indications and recommended that Vectra 3D be given a marketing authorisation. The benefit/risk balance may be found in the scientific discussion module of this EPAR.\n\nOther information about Vectra 3D:\n\nThe European Commission granted a marketing authorisation valid throughout the European Union, for Vectra 3D on 04/12/2013. Information on the prescription status of this product may be found on the label/outer package.\n\nThis summary was last updated in October 2013.<|endoftext|>Summary statistics\n\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n\u00a0\u00a0(Redirected from Summary statistic)\nJump to: navigation, search\nBox plot of the Michelson\u2013Morley experiment, showing several summary statistics.\n\nIn descriptive statistics, summary statistics are used to summarize a set of observations, in order to communicate the largest amount of information as simply as possible. Statisticians commonly try to describe the observations in\n\nA common collection of order statistics used as summary statistics are the five-number summary, sometimes extended to a seven-number summary, and the associated box plot.\n\nEntries in an analysis of variance table can also be regarded as summary statistics.[1]\n\nExamples of summary statistics[edit]\n\n\nCommon measures of location, or central tendency, are the arithmetic mean, median, mode, and interquartile mean.\n\n\nCommon measures of statistical dispersion are the standard deviation, variance, range, interquartile range, absolute deviation and the distance standard deviation. Measures that assess spread in comparison to the typical size of data values include the coefficient of variation.\n\nThe Gini coefficient was originally developed to measure income inequality and is equivalent to one of the L-moments.\n\nA simple summary of a dataset is sometimes given by quoting particular order statistics as approximations to selected percentiles of a distribution.\n\n\nCommon measures of the shape of a distribution are skewness or kurtosis, while alternatives can be based on L-moments. A different measure is the distance skewness, for which a value of zero implies central symmetry.\n\n\nThe common measure of dependence between paired random variables is the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, while a common alternative summary statistic is Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. A value of zero for the distance correlation implies independence.\n\nSee also[edit]\n\n\n 1. ^ Upton, G., Cook, I. (2006). Oxford Dictionary of Statistics, OUP.

I stood at the Oakes Hotel beside the Fallsview Casino. I had such a beautiful view of the falls and the USA Side of Niagara and I saw the Seneca Casino in Niagara Falls USA. It was beaming with so many lights and everything. I really enjoyed seeing that at night. The Falls would beam with different colours and would then be shut off at 11pm. simply gorgeous. Then after we went to the USA Side both days and just went to the Seneca Casino, and drove around the town and wow you can sure tell your in the USA. It is a bit different with the roads, and the streets. A lot of the houses around there are so old and some have been boarded up. Craziness. They need to make the USA Niagara Falls side a lot more appealing and better for tourists. They should include a lot more things and build on the USA side and just get things rolling.\n\nSo Much is happening on the Canadian Side. Then afterwards for both evenings, hung out with one of my very dear friends who resides there and we just had a blast. Now what made me laugh was I always see the Seneca Casino, Cellino & Barnes, Paddock, Fucillo, Basil Ford, Kenneth Hiller, Freedman, The Airport Plaza Jeweler commercials and when I happened to turn the TV on at the hotel and these commercials came on, I just died laughing because I see these commercials all the time and I was in their areas and I couldn\u2019t stop laughing.

Niagara Falls, Canada!\n\nI am super happy to announce that I will add Niagara Falls, Canada\u00a0into the list of my Travel this year. I have been to Niagara Falls Many times and I just love the beautiful scenery and all the exciting happenings there. I have been on Clifton Hill\u2019s attractions like Ripley\u2019s Believe it Or Not, Guiness World Records, Haunted House, SkyWheel, Then dined at the huge Burger King. Niagara Falls is a fun and relaxing place. Now, I cannot even begin to describe the food there. Its incredible. I remember going into Zappi\u2019s Pizza where not only do they serve Pizza\u2019s but a whole assortment of Italian foods, and other things.

WEST OF THE WESTSIDE -- THE SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS

\"Santa

The Santa Monica Mountains are a traverse mountain range that stretches from the Pacific Ocean 64 kilometers east to the flood plain where the LA River is fed by the Verdugo Wash. The southern side of the eastern end of the range is almost always referred to as the Hollywood Hills. The central portion lies within LA's westside and the foothills are home to some of LA's most affluent neighborhoods (e.g. Bel Air, Beverly Hills and Pacific Palisades). To the north, separated by the mountains, is the San Fernando Valley. Technically, the Channel Islands are also part of the range, although they're separated from the mainland by water.

The western portion of the Santa Monica Mountains separates the Conejo Valley from Malibu and the neighboring communities that make up the Los Angeles district known as the Santa Monica Mountains area. The district borders Ventura County to the west and north, the San Fernando Valley to the northeast and the Westside to the east.

I had such a beautiful view of the falls and the USA Side of Niagara and I saw the Seneca Casino in Niagara Falls USA. It was beaming with so many lights and everything. I really enjoyed seeing that at night. The Falls would beam with different colours and would then be shut off at 11pm. simply gorgeous. Then after we went to the USA Side both days and just went to the Seneca Casino, and drove around the town and wow you can sure tell your in the USA. It is a bit different with the roads, and the streets. A lot of the houses around there are so old and some have been boarded up. Craziness. They need to make the USA Niagara Falls side a lot more appealing and better for tourists. They should include a lot more things and build on the USA side and just get things rolling.\n\nSo Much is happening on the Canadian Side. Then afterwards for both evenings, hung out with one of my very dear friends who resides there and we just had a blast. Now what made me laugh was I always see the Seneca Casino, Cellino & Barnes, Paddock, Fucillo, Basil Ford, Kenneth Hiller, Freedman, The Airport Plaza Jeweler commercials and when I happened to turn the TV on at the hotel and these commercials came on, I just died laughing because I see these commercials all the time and I was in their areas and I couldn\u2019t stop laughing. Its an inside joke that I have with these. Well, I am back and relaxed\u2026. I was almost late writing my blog for today and finally I did\u2026.\n\n\nMy Travel\u2019s Of 2012, Got More Exciting! Niagara Falls, Canada!\n\nI am super happy to announce that I will add Niagara Falls, Canada\u00a0into the list of my Travel this year. I have been to Niagara Falls Many times and I just love the beautiful scenery and all the exciting happenings there. I have been on Clifton Hill\u2019s attractions like Ripley\u2019s Believe it Or Not, Guiness World Records, Haunted House, SkyWheel, Then dined at the huge Burger King. Niagara Falls is a fun and relaxing place. Now, I cannot even begin to describe the food there. Its incredible. I remember going into Zappi\u2019s Pizza where not only do they serve Pizza\u2019s but a whole assortment of Italian foods, and other things. I remember getting the Chicken Parmesean, it was so tasty that I even was about to eat the plate too LOL. There is IHOP on the Canadian Side, as well as CopaCabana, Hopefully I got the name right.

Characters are already advanced via a prior career; further advancement is close to impossible. Players are then unleashed on an unsuspecting universe where just about anything goes. The reward is being able to step outside the player's current real-life career path, and step into the life of a retired Marine Major (or whatever) seeking his/her fortune in the effectively limitless universe. In a game like Traveller, one is not bound by the normal social conventions and means of accumulating wealth and fame. Acquiring these things through adventure and misbehavior is a reward in and of itself.\n\n\n This is a classic issue of gameplay vs. realism. The Chaosium systems (including Runequest) rewarded you in the skills that you used during the adventure. This was seen as more realistic, as you are getting on the job training.\n\n However, it is also a positive feedback loop, and we understand pretty well these days that this is a horrid game design feature. It encourages super-specialization and makes game balance extremely difficult. Unless you have a very creative GM, you can easily get parties where players are marginalized in the adventure, because their specialized skill set is not a good match for the scenario.\n\n The D&D system is a compromise. You allow people to make characters with breadth without penalizing their advancement. In the real world, this would happen in training \"off screen\". However, few people want to role play training outside of adventures, unless we are talking about a character ability so significant that obtaining a trainer is a quest in itself. So you make experience fungible and chalk it up to an abstraction.\n\n 17. We need advancement because it drives desire to play the game.\n\n 18. As a player, and the player of a magic-user character especially, I find XP to be my main motivator in the game. I started out pathetically inept, unable to help the party except with the occasional good idea. That was fun enough in itself. Then I hit level 2, and got another spell per day. That was a LOT of fun. Now I'm a complete XP whore, and I love it. A session where I nearly get killed and walk away with 41 xp is enough to make my blood boil; a session where we get lucky, kill something big and bad, and find its treasure trove just makes me happy for days.\n\n The takeaway? DMs may not like XP, or find them realistic enough. Players love them and find in them a reason to play.\n\n 19. Like you, as I grow older I gain more respect for systems in which character advancement is slow and realistic (and like Roger the GS said, quicker improvements that drive character choices could come in social status, networks, and goods - I'd add special knowledge, such as spells or the like). This may also have to do with my increasing preference for a model of gaming in which the game is an event generator (from which events we can tell stories after the fact), rather than a means of modeling the process of traditional fiction.\n\n 20. I think the big reason for XP was so you could take your level 1 bunny-whacker and turn them into a level 20 dragon whacker over the course of many different sessions of whacking bunnies, koblolds, goblins, and other systematic balloons. They're also ideally the carrot vs the stick for good roleplaying (though I'm sure someone somewhere has asked what the XP of the innkeeper they just laid waste to in the inn). That said, i think giving some additional character points that can be used to enhance the character is good for roleplaying. It allows the character to grow in ways that may not have been apparent when creating the character. You may realize that the 2 points you gave your character in Esperanto may be too little on Planet Esperantina, so adding a few more points through the course of adventuring will help make a better game overall.\n\n 21. Since I don't play D&D or like systems very often its difficult for me to say what the best way to handle it in those games would be. Generally I've never liked the idea that XP obtained in combat or looting would grant your Wizard more spells or your Priest more healing.\n\n At the same time I will say that seeing your character improve over time is fun and one of the rewards of a 'game' nature that make RPGs different from sitting around with your friends and telling each other stories. I love story, I love character AND I'm playing a game. Games deal with points and rules. I get it and I agree with it.\n\n I've always used the house rule that you can spend XP points in a skill based system only on skills you've used. Now if you were given an XP bonus for role playing in character or gain a story related bonus, that bonus can only be spent on social skills or abilities reflected in the story. I've also tended to allow training, to gain mini-XP points of a sort that can be cashed in for an increase latter down the road.\n\n Its late, I'm a little bleary eyed and not certain I've explained this correctly. Alas its too late to turn back now...\n\n 22. \"Why do we need XP and advancement at all?\"\n\n Because rewards are an effective way of creating engagement in a game. You can really hook people with multiple different paths of earning rewards so that the player constantly feels like they're making progress, and receives rewards on a relatively frequent, but a bit erratic, schedule. It creates a desire for just one more room, one more door, one more monster, one more level, one more dungeon. D&D does pretty well: you can get XP which builds toward the reward of a new level. You explore, which builds toward finding better items. You earn money, which builds toward buying or creating better items. You finish slay big monsters or finish difficult quests, which hopefully earns renown. A lot of very fun and successful computer RPGs have the exact same mechanics.\n\n It's not the only way to create engagement, but it works. One advantage that even in the hands of a mediocre GM it works okay. Something fuzzy like renown or political advancement (if not mechanically simulated) might not fair so well at the hands of a mediocre GM.\n\n\n In which way? XP and leveling always struck me as running a bit against the literary inspiration. Looking to the stories of Vance, Leiber, Zelazny, Moorcock, and Lovecraft (To take authors both in Appendix N and that I've read), I'm struck by how little the protagonists grow in personal physical power. Such growth is modest, if present at all.\n\n 23. While GURPS doesn't come out and state it as an alternate xp option. It has a rule that 200 hours of learning equals one GURPS point in a skill. That if you doing stuff on the job you are at 1/4 rate so 800 hours on the job will equal 1 skill point.\n\n It would conceivable to have a campaign where you adhere to this strictly. That every 100 days using your skills (8 hours on the job so to speak) you get a skill point. 1/4 of the time or 25 days per point if you spend it training.\n\n My friends talked about this option because the way I referee my Majestic Wilderlands the campaign often goes day by day through the character's lives. Awarding the typical 3 points results characters advancing rapidly in relation to game-time.\n\n It took a few rounds to realize the problem wasn't advancement but how fast it is in relation to the events of the game setting. If the characters took a few years nobody would find it unreasonable to come back 20 or 50 points more than they were. But packing it all into three months of game time felt off.\n\n I don't have anything further to add so far as we haven't tried anything with this yet.\n\n Just food for thought\n\n 24. \"Why do we need XP and advancement at all?\"\n\n I would say that character advancement is the single most important game-design invention that D&D brought to the table. Increasing the power of your playing piece is what makes the game addictive for a wide swath of players, more so than many other aspects (and those other aspects all existed in other types of gaming before RPGs).\n\n You might ask, \"Why does coffee need to be caffeinated?\" or \"Why do cigarettes have to have nicotine?\" They don't, but for many people -- that's the whole point, or close to it, at least (in this case, I hope, in a good way.) Therein lies the magic.\n\n 25. Why do we need XP and advancement at all?\n\n 1. To better gauge the experience of the PC.\n 2. it's part of the reward system in the game\n 3. To help DMs design adventures based upon the levels of the PCs.\n\n That's how I see it. I don't know if I'm right or wrong, but the aforementioned explanations are good enough for me.\n\n 26. I agree that the prospect of levelling is a great motivator.\n\n And it also gives the game a lot of texture-- D&D plays a lot differently as a low-level character than as a high-level character.

I will be using the 1-point perspective tool for this tutorial.\n\nStep 1: Outline\u00a0building shapes\n\nStart with the outline of your background buildings. Roughly block out where you want the buildings to go.\u00a0A trick that I find useful at this step is drawing a line slightly above the horizon line as a reference eye level. I will unleash its power in the next few steps.\n\narchitectural street scene outline\nDon\u2019t forget the eye-line layer. You\u2019re going to want that eye-line.\n\nStep 2: Add facades\n\nNext, begin to\u00a0fill in your building facades. Remember that line we drew? It is the key to success when drawing street scenes. It acts as a directional delineator to keep you from getting confused as you draw in more shapes. Everything above the line will slope upwards, and everything below will slope down. When deciding where to add in your windows and doors, use the eye line as a reference for heights. Imagine a person standing. If the door height slopes down below the eye line, realistically it will be impossible for a person to walk though that door without crouching or hurting\u00a0their neck. Unless you are drawing a funhouse style drawing, you will want to pay attention and make sure there is enough head space so you don\u2019t accidentally draw giant people.\n\narchitectural street scene building\nEverything above the eye line slopes up; everything below slopes down. Handy, huh?\n\nStep 3: Add natural elements\n\nAdd in some lush greenery like trees, bushes, planters, and\u00a0flowers.\u00a0You can turn down the opacity of the background to help you visualize how your elements will fit into the scene.\narchitectural street scene trees\n\nStep 4: Add people\n\nAdd life by drawing in outlines of people in your scene. You want to align\u00a0all the heads of the people at eye level to maintain your perspective. Change\u00a0the sizes of the people to create the illusion that some people are closer to you or father away. The smaller people appear to be much farther away that the larger people.\u00a0Be sure to consider the movements of people in a space by adding people who are walking, sitting, or gathering around at a spot.\narchitectural street scene people\n\nStep 5: Blocking \u2014 erase where layers overlap\n\nThis is where working in layers becomes handy. Turn on and layer all your elements and erase lines that overlap. If you are looking for a cleaner sketch, you can\u00a0turn down the opacities of your rough layers and trace over the\u00a0final compositional lines you want to keep.\narchitectural street scene layer\n\nStep 6: Add colour\n\nOnce you are done erasing or tracing, add in shade and shadow and begin to colour your drawing. You can create focal pints by colouring in the specific layer you want to highlight. I personally like to leave the people in white in order for them to stand out and emphasize movement in the architectural street scene.\narchitectural street scene shadow\n\nThe final result\n\nAnd voila!\u00a0I hope this guide makes drawing architectural street scenes a lot easier for you.

I assume you know about the Scablands of eastern Washington State? Apparently during the ice ages there were periodic meltings and floodings of lakes formed by ice dams. I think Ballard of Titanic fame also did some exploration of the Black Sea to see if signs of human habitation could be found, and he found some farm building foundations (sorry about the alliteration.\n\nGoober said...\n\nWhere did all the water come from?\n\nThat one is easy. During the last ice age, a not-unsubstantial portion of the world\u2019s water was frozen solid and sitting in the form of an ice cap on the northern extents of the big continents. They extended as far south as Boise Idaho in some places. This caused the sea levels to be much lower than they are today since all that water wasn\u2019t in the sea \u2013 rather, it was sitting on dry land in solid form. During that time, areas like Doggerland would have been under the ice (in fact, being a glacial moraine, Doggerland owes its very existence to the glaciers). However, there was a period of time during the melt-off where the ice had receded enough to expose areas like Doggerland, but not so much as to have created enough water to fill the oceans back up enough to inundate it. Doggerland\u2019s time as dry land was limited the very same day it first saw sunlight. Another very well known example of this phenomenon is the Bering Sea Land bridge between Asia and North America, which is the popular theory for how humans got to North America in the first place.\n\nIt is highly probable that the amount of time it took to melt off enough ice to inundate Doggerland would have been measured in tens of millennia, so for the lifetimes of hundreds and hundreds of generations of humans, it was not temporary dry land, but firm, permanent ground. To us, looking through the lens of history, we see Doggerland as seafloor that was temporarily exposed, but to the people then, Britain wasn\u2019t an island.\n\nAnd, in fact, the sea level rise that inundated Doggerland, which has been occurring for much of the last 15,000 years, continues to this day, and is figured to continue continuing until the next ice age sets in (and we are due for one any day now) .

Get the recipe below!\u00a0\n\n\nIngredients: donuts\n\n\u00a0- 1/2 cup of flour (I did 1/4 whole wheat, 1/4 ap!)\n\n- 1/4 cup of sugar \u00a0\n\n- 1/2 tbs. of melted butter\n\n- 1/2 tsp. of baking powder\n\n- 1/4 tsp. of baking soda\n\n- 1/4 tsp. of vanilla\n\n- a pinch of salt \u00a0\n\n- 1 tsp. of cinnamon\n\n\u00a0- 1/2 cup of milk\n\n- 1/2 cup of blueberries\n\n- a squeeze of lemon juice\n\nIngredients: vanilla glaze\n\n- 1 tbs. milk\n\n- 1/4 cup of powdered sugar\n\n- 1 tsp. of vanilla\n\n\n1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, butter, and lemon juice. Stir wet ingredients into dry, mix until combined.\n\n\n2. Pour batter into greased donut pan and drop in blueberries.\n\n\n3. Preheat oven to 350.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Meanwhile, make glaze. Stir together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Bake donuts for 16 minutes, then let cool for 5 minutes. Pop out of pan and dip tops into the glaze. Serve with coffee and enjoy!\u00a0\n\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Thanks for reading, and have a good weekend!<|endoftext|>Friday, November 30, 2012\n\nOverheard in the Hallway...\n\nMe: \"Once upon a time...\"\n\n\n\nRX: \"...Climate Change?\"\n\n\n\n\n\nMe: \"Okay, Chevy Suburbans, then.\"\n\n\nog said...\n\nI always liked the janet jackson song \" i want to take you in an escalade\"\n\nOld NFO said...\n\nDammit, now I've got to get the coffee off the screen... :-)\n\nCritter said...\n\nso, how much was a carbon credit in antelope horn and sharpened flint?\n\nAnonymous said...\n\nWhen Nat Geo went away from black and white photos of half naked women it was the begining of the end.\n\n\nBubblehead Les. said...\n\nOn the Other Hand, if Doggerland was still above water, Rommel would have parked his Tanks in Trafalger Square in 1940.\n\nbluesun said...\n\nFor a while I was marking every time I saw a climate change mention in NatGeo when I read it, with the intention of writing them all down and blogging about it.

He never joined the National Socialists/Nazi party, and despised what it was becoming. He was, however, a very patriotic German and an exceptional leader of men and knew how to utilize his (meager) resources (and those of his enemies, which he captured).

I assume you know about the Scablands of eastern Washington State? Apparently during the ice ages there were periodic meltings and floodings of lakes formed by ice dams. I think Ballard of Titanic fame also did some exploration of the Black Sea to see if signs of human habitation could be found, and he found some farm building foundations (sorry about the alliteration.\n\nGoober said...\n\nWhere did all the water come from?\n\nThat one is easy. During the last ice age, a not-unsubstantial portion of the world\u2019s water was frozen solid and sitting in the form of an ice cap on the northern extents of the big continents. They extended as far south as Boise Idaho in some places. This caused the sea levels to be much lower than they are today since all that water wasn\u2019t in the sea \u2013 rather, it was sitting on dry land in solid form. During that time, areas like Doggerland would have been under the ice (in fact, being a glacial moraine, Doggerland owes its very existence to the glaciers). However, there was a period of time during the melt-off where the ice had receded enough to expose areas like Doggerland, but not so much as to have created enough water to fill the oceans back up enough to inundate it. Doggerland\u2019s time as dry land was limited the very same day it first saw sunlight. Another very well known example of this phenomenon is the Bering Sea Land bridge between Asia and North America, which is the popular theory for how humans got to North America in the first place.\n\nIt is highly probable that the amount of time it took to melt off enough ice to inundate Doggerland would have been measured in tens of millennia, so for the lifetimes of hundreds and hundreds of generations of humans, it was not temporary dry land, but firm, permanent ground. To us, looking through the lens of history, we see Doggerland as seafloor that was temporarily exposed, but to the people then, Britain wasn\u2019t an island.\n\nAnd, in fact, the sea level rise that inundated Doggerland, which has been occurring for much of the last 15,000 years, continues to this day, and is figured to continue continuing until the next ice age sets in (and we are due for one any day now) . Hence my reaction when arrogant humans claim responsibility for it and call it their own. King Canute would have laughed at that, I\u2019m sure.\n\n\nThere was.\n\n\nSome of it,", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 422218, "pt_loc": 94158956, "pt_shuffle_idx": 83980605, "doc_index_f": 131647470, "doc_index_l": 131647472, "offset_f": 289, "offset_l": 1429, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 35, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [195, 424, 1430]} +{"pt_doc": "The dog ran uphill to chase the cat, but the cat was able to escape because the _ was too fast.\nOption 1: dog\nOption 2: cat\nAnswer: 2<|endoftext|> with.\n\n\n\nRajesh Koothrappali\n\nHoward and Raj playing detective.\n\nRaj is Howard's best friend. Howard invites his buddy over to his house all the time. Howard has called them co-pilots of the Millennium Falcon, and they have weekly routines they do together. However, Howard becomes easily distracted and sometimes abandons him, only to be unmindful of any wrongdoing. Sadly, he taught\u00a0Raj his dance moves, and Howard seems to wear off on him, as Raj can be very womanizing and uses slang. He scoffs at Raj when he says something stupid, and has once complained that he's going to end up with swimmer's ear with Raj whispering in his ear, although Sheldon cannot tolerate his moist breath in his ear altogether. Despite the fact that Howard is undeniably obsessed with women, Dr. Beverly Hofstadter, Leonard's mother, says they are in an \"ersatz homosexual marriage\". Amusingly, Raj and Howard have several arguments during the series, in which Raj repeatedly accuses Howard of leaving him for everybody who's only slightly better looking and otherwise assuming the cliche female role in partnership arguments. Season 4 jokingly introduced the possibility of Howard's \"latent homosexual tendencies\" when George Takei appeared as himself in an imaginary conversation with Bernadette and Katee Sackhoff over his relationship status with Bernadette, but Howard quickly denied it. Before Howard met Bernadette, it was implied that he called Raj\u00a0\"honey\", and Debbie Wolowitz is relieved when he has a girl over to the house. In \"The Septum Deviation\", Raj has dinner with Howard and Bernie is worried about what to get his parents for their fortieth wedding anniversary. Later Raj gets a call from his father that he has moved out and that his parents are getting divorce lawyers. Howard is visiting him and sympathizes with him. His discussion of their not communicating together causes a fight between Howard and Bernie. In \"The Anxiety Optimization\", Howard starts a game called \"Emily or Cinnamon\" where people have to guess whether statements Raj has made are for the woman or the dog he loves. Emily thinks Raj's sensitive nature is very sexy. In \"The 2003 Approximation\", Raj and Howard form a band call \"Footprints on the Moon\", when Stuart is looking for live music in his store. They write a song about Indiana Jones taking on Thor which is a cool song, but not easy to dance to. In \"The Confidence Erosion\", Raj takes a break from his friendship with Howard when he realizes that his lack of confidence is in part due to Howard's constant demeaning jokes. He changes his look, gains confidence and gets a job at the Griffith Observatory. After his show, a young woman even asks him to coffee. In \"The Celebration Reverberation\", Raj is still mad at Howard who still gets him to plan Halley's first birthday party. Both end up in Halley's bounce house taking out their frustrations on each other. The house is so much fun that they mend their friendship while bouncing around. In \"The Planetarium Collision\" Howard gets invited by Raj's boss to help host a planetarium show since he is an astronaut. Raj is worried that Howard will take over the show. Anxiety occurs between them and during their show they end up complimenting each other to excess. In \"The Inspiration Deprivation\", Howard buys a Vespa like he used to own with him and Raj planning to relive their good old days. Bernadette is angry and doesn't want him hurt.

Howard told Penny that both he and Raj liked Leonard. Leonard has helped him quite often, and Howard faced an allergic reaction partly to provide Leonard's first birthday party. Though, Howard finds Leonard's worries over Penny humorous sometimes, and they like to post embarrassing things about each other on YouTube and Twitter. The two of them made a pact that if either one of them ever got a girlfriend, the other one would set up the single guy with one of her girlfriends. When it comes to agreements and women, they frequently fight. Leonard does enjoy poking fun at Howard's height, although he is only a quarter of an inch taller (\"And don't you forget it!\").

Sheldon describes Raj as Howard's primary friend, Leonard as\u00a0Howard's secondary friend, and himself as Howard's tertiary friend.\n\nWith Howard on a trip to Houston.\n\nHowever, Sheldon still says that if he ever needs a slightly apathetic tertiary friend, he is there for him, and refers to him as \"the funny one\" in their group. Howard is also the \"Scotty\" of their Star Trek landing party. Though often annoyed by Sheldon, Howard is able to perceive when Sheldon is upset, unlike with best friend Raj. Howard has varied between not really caring whether he and Sheldon are friends and being visibly wounded when Sheldon is dismissive of him. During the time when Sheldon considered who to jettison from his circle of friends and said critically that Howard doesn't have a Ph.D. and isn't available to play video games during the Jewish High Holidays, Howard seemed pleased that he might be freed from Sheldon's friendship, only to watch as Sheldon then ordered a horrified Raj out of the circle of friends. Later, the \"treasured acquaintance\" remark makes Howard's face fall as if hearing that Leonard, Penny and Raj are considered friends while he isn't, is upsetting to him.\n\nIn \"The Friendship Turbulence\" Bernadette is tired of Sheldon always degrading her husband. Sheldon reveals that the first time they met; Howard told him that he was a cross between C3PO and Pee Wee Herman, calling him C-3-P-Wee Herman. Howard then followed that by replacing slides from Sheldon's lecture with pictures of nude fat women bending over, quickly progression into a decade long rivalry of pranks, such as unwanted magazine subscriptions. To try to improve their relationship, Howard invites Sheldon to join him on a trip to Houston where he is speaking at NASA. Howard gives him a tour, helps him through the turbulence they experience on the plane trip and helps him deal with having seen his mother having sex. He notes that he drove away a man interested in his mother and that Sheldon should not stand in the way of his mother's happiness. In \"The Comic Book Store Regeneration\", when the gang receives the devastating news that Debbie Wolowitz died, Sheldon wanted to say something. Though the gang was worried at what insensitive thing he might say, Howard allowed Sheldon to speak. In a rare moment of compassion, Sheldon comforted Howard by stating when his father died, he didn't have friends to help him through it before reminding Howard that he does. These words surprised Howard but caused him to smile at Sheldon for understanding his grief and silently thank him for his words, moving past some of his sadness. In \"The Explosion Implosion\", Howard is worried about knowing enough to raise a boy, but then realizes that they could bond over launching model rockets.

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

Where is YOUR \u201cbetter plan\u201d for the monorail?\n\nAs one of \u201cEyman\u2019s Ilk,\u201d I have a dozen ideas for better plans. But you on the left throw a fit whenever anyone comes after your sacred cows, such as prevailing wage, the sales tax shift, the \u00bd% art requirement, taking ferries out of the transportation mix, getting rid of light rail, building a few hundred more miles of roads\u2026 those things are ALL \u201cbetter plans.\u201d And to people of YOUR \u201cilk,\u201d they\u2019re ALL DOA.\n\nInstead, otherwise intelligent voters are suckered into a chorus of Just Say No while the king cashes in on the money people are throwing at him.\n\nAs opposed to the unions cashing in on the money you would have government throw at them, right?\n\nThis guy has saved the people of this state billions of dollars.

Now, once you put your bedroom slippers on the floor, it's no longer the right question, and then the question is, \"What will I do now that's meaningful?\" If we can exercise that part of our brain and build that part of our brain-\n\nTana Amen: I actually do that a lot.

If someone went to a logotherapist, what would that be like?\n\nJeff Zeig: Mm-hmm (affirmative), yeah. Well, there were some techniques, like paradoxical intention. Viktor Frankl would work with somebody, for example, with anticipatory anxiety, this is anxiety about anxiety, and sometimes you use paradoxical intention. Let's say it's a young man and he's afraid of talking to young women, and Viktor Frankl says, \"Okay, you're going to a party on Friday. Dress up, wear your nicest clothes. When you get to the party, get two glasses of champagne, fill them to the top, walk around the room until you find the most attractive woman that you can find, and as you get to her you're going to be shaking, you're going to be spilling this champagne all over yourself, and when you get to her you just trip and you'll pour the champagne all over yourself.\" Then he would say, and I can't remember the German phrase, but, \"Better a moment of horror, than horror without end.\"\n\nTana Amen: Oh, my gosh. Love that.\n\nJeff Zeig: He would invited people to live through their greatest fear, but he wanted them to laugh, he didn't really want them to do the activity. He wanted to prompt laughter as a way of blocking anticipatory anxiety. He was really one of the first people to invent the use of paradox, which he did in the 1920s as a technique for helping people. Now, also, he would focus people, of course, on meaning. Now, unfortunately, there are no videos of Viktor Frankl doing therapy. There are lots of audio and video of Viktor Frankl lecturing, but there's nothing that I can find in the archive that shows an example of him doing treatment, but these techniques, like paradoxical intention, dereflection, if he was working with somebody who was obsessive-compulsive, but then overall, as long as you have that light, like the moth is attracted to the light, and that light is meaning, then whatever tragedy befalls you, how can you do alchemy?\n\nHow can you find the lemonade in the lemon, and how can you make that the wall, as Tana was talking about, that you're focusing on so you're not focusing on the problem, you're focusing on what it is that will create meaning, just ... There's a video, Alex Vesely, Viktor's grandson, is a filmmaker, and he's in Los Angeles, and he made a documentary movie both about Viktor Frankl and also about, another documentary about Dr. Erickson. If you looked and searched a little about Viktor Frankl or Alex Vesely, you could find the movie of interviewing people who knew Viktor Frankl. Certainly I would highly, highly-\n\nDaniel Amen: How do you spell his name?\n\nJeff Zeig: ... recommend reading \"Man's Search for Meaning\". It's an easy read, and it was a book, I can't even remember, it's 40 different languages, in its 100th printing, and I don't even know that Viktor Frankl got a penny for that book. It was not, he was not a [inaudible 00:44:12] person, he wasn't interested in money. He was interested in inspiring people, and he did a very good job of it.\n\nDaniel Amen: How do you spell Alex's last name?\n\nJeff Zeig: Veseley, V-E-S-E-L-E-Y.\n\nDaniel Amen: Wonder", "base_doc": "'s got a presence that just exudes into the audience, but when you could spend time with him, you could feel that even on the most personal level, he was somebody who was passionate and involved and interested and wanted to learn and explore and wanted to give and also experience and learn.

I did that this morning, and you immediately, your face popped in my mind because I knew we were going to talk today.\n\nTana Amen: Yeah, you actually said that when you first woke up.\n\nDaniel Amen: Right.\n\nTana Amen: I was half asleep, and he's like, \"Oh, we're going to interview Jeff today,\" and I'm like, \"I know. Why are you waking me up?\" No, I'm not saying I say that when I first wake up. I do try to focus on gratitude first thing in the morning, but when things bother me I try to put it in perspective, it's like, \"Really, is this going to matter? Because we're all going to die,\" so ...\n\nDaniel Amen: Before we run out of time, I want to make sure we talk about the School of Psychotherapy that Viktor Frankl founded, which has to do in large part with meaning, and it's called logostherapy, correct?\n\nJeff Zeig: Logotherapy.\n\nDaniel Amen: Logotherapy.\n\nJeff Zeig: Yeah.\n\nDaniel Amen: \"Logo\" is Greek for \"meaning\", is that correct?\n\nJeff Zeig: Absolutely.\n\nDaniel Amen: Talk to us. If someone went to a logotherapist, what would that be like?\n\nJeff Zeig: Mm-hmm (affirmative), yeah. Well, there were some techniques, like paradoxical intention. Viktor Frankl would work with somebody, for example, with anticipatory anxiety, this is anxiety about anxiety, and sometimes you use paradoxical intention. Let's say it's a young man and he's afraid of talking to young women, and Viktor Frankl says, \"Okay, you're going to a party on Friday. Dress up, wear your nicest clothes. When you get to the party, get two glasses of champagne, fill them to the top, walk around the room until you find the most attractive woman that you can find, and as you get to her you're going to be shaking, you're going to be spilling this champagne all over yourself, and when you get to her you just trip and you'll pour the champagne all over yourself.\" Then he would say, and I can't remember the German phrase, but, \"Better a moment of horror, than horror without end.\"\n\nTana Amen: Oh, my gosh. Love that.\n\nJeff Zeig: He would invited people to live through their greatest fear, but he wanted them to laugh, he didn't really want them to do the activity. He wanted to prompt laughter as a way of blocking anticipatory anxiety. He was really one of the first people to invent the use of paradox, which he did in the 1920s as a technique for helping people. Now, also, he would focus people, of course, on meaning. Now, unfortunately, there are no videos of Viktor Frankl doing therapy. There are lots of audio and video of Viktor Frankl lecturing, but there's nothing that I can find in the archive that shows an example of him doing treatment, but these techniques, like paradoxical intention, dereflection, if he was working with somebody who was obsessive-compulsive, but then overall, as long as you have that light, like the moth is attracted to the light, and that light is meaning, then whatever tragedy befalls you, how can you do alchemy?\n\nHow can you find the lemonade in the lemon, and how can you make that the wall, as Tana was talking about, that you're focusing on so you're not focusing on the problem, you're focusing on what it is that will create meaning, just ... There's a video, Alex Vesely, Viktor's grandson, is a filmmaker, and he's in Los Angeles, and he made a documentary movie both about Viktor Frankl and also about, another documentary about Dr. Erickson. If you looked and searched a little about Viktor Frankl or Alex Vesely, you could find the movie of interviewing people who knew Viktor Frankl. Certainly I would highly, highly-\n\nDaniel Amen: How do you spell his name?\n\nJeff Zeig: ... recommend reading \"Man's Search for Meaning\". It's an easy read, and it was a book, I can't even remember, it's 40 different languages, in its 100th printing, and I don't even know that Viktor Frankl got a penny for that book. It was not, he was not a [inaudible 00:44:12] person, he wasn't interested in money. He was interested in inspiring people, and he did a very good job of it.\n\nDaniel Amen: How do you spell Alex's last name?\n\nJeff Zeig: Veseley, V-E-S-E-L-E-Y.\n\nDaniel Amen: Wonderful.

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

According to the News & Observer, it's pretty much the same route that's been proposed by various community advocates for more than 20 years.\n\nSo what's different now?\n\nWhile much of the talk about the future of mobility revolves around the admittedly stunning and wildly popular Tesla, or the promise of Google's self driving cars, public transit \u2014 a transportation option that has often gotten short shrift in the U.S. \u2014 may be undergoing a well deserved revival. The reasons for this renaissance are as diverse as they are disruptive, but they all coalesce around a central truth: well-planned transit is much better suited to the modern, technology-enabled lifestyle than the 20th century paradigm of universal car ownership, commuting, and suburban sprawl.\n\nHere's why:\n\nSmartphones and transit are a match made in heaven\n\nlook up transit options instantly, wherever we are, and we can track the exact location of the next bus, train or tram and plan our movements accordingly. E-tickets for transit are also promising to radically reduce the hassle and confusion associated with purchasing passes, as well as making transit operations more efficient and profitable.\nBut it's not just about increased access. Smartphones and tablets are also tools for productivity or entertainment. Why spend time stuck in traffic driving, when you can get started on your emails, catch up on the news, or do some research for your term paper? I recently met a man who had written an entire novel while commuting between Raleigh and Chapel Hill on the bus. Imagine the tickets he'd have gotten if he tried doing that in a car.\n\nTechnologically-empowered car sharing takes off\n\nThe car isn't going to disappear any time soon, but there are sure signs that we, in America at least, might be reaching the point of \"peak car,\" where per-capita car ownership peaks and then begins to decline. Kids are waiting longer to drive, those of us who do own cars are driving less, and \u2014 crucially \u2014 the number of carless and one car families is growing. The rise of car sharing services like Zipcar mean transit users can complete that \"last mile\" of their journey by car, or access a car if they need to for groceries of other errands, but rely on transit for their day-to-day movements. In fact, one study suggests that every car in a car sharing service leads to 32 fewer vehicles being sold to private buyers. And fewer car owners means more transit riders. Carpooling apps like Lyft are also making things easier. You no longer need to worry about getting stuck walking in the rain, or getting stranded if the bus doesn't show \u2014 just tap your phone and you have a ride, with none of the hassles of ownership.\n\nMore walkable neighborhoods\n\nIt's not just modes of mobility that's changing. It's the distances that people need to travel. People are moving into cities at astounding rates, with some estimates suggesting that 9 billion people will be living in urban areas. That's more than the entire population of the planet right now. The popularity of urban living is leading to a shift in terms of city planning, with denser, more walkable neighborhoods becoming commonplace \u2014 neighborhoods that serendipitously make transit more viable. Here in the Triangle, for example, it always seemed hard to envision light rail because our communities were simply too spread out \u2014 why take the train if you have to drive to the station to catch it?

According to the News & Observer, it's pretty much the same route that's been proposed by various community advocates for more than 20 years.\n\nSo what's different now?\n\nWhile much of the talk about the future of mobility revolves around the admittedly stunning and wildly popular Tesla, or the promise of Google's self driving cars, public transit \u2014 a transportation option that has often gotten short shrift in the U.S. \u2014 may be undergoing a well deserved revival. The reasons for this renaissance are as diverse as they are disruptive, but they all coalesce around a central truth: well-planned transit is much better suited to the modern, technology-enabled lifestyle than the 20th century paradigm of universal car ownership, commuting, and suburban sprawl.\n\nHere's why:\n\nSmartphones and transit are a match made in heaven\n\nlook up transit options instantly, wherever we are, and we can track the exact location of the next bus, train or tram and plan our movements accordingly. E-tickets for transit are also promising to radically reduce the hassle and confusion associated with purchasing passes, as well as making transit operations more efficient and profitable.\nBut it's not just about increased access. Smartphones and tablets are also tools for productivity or entertainment. Why spend time stuck in traffic driving, when you can get started on your emails, catch up on the news, or do some research for your term paper? I recently met a man who had written an entire novel while commuting between Raleigh and Chapel Hill on the bus. Imagine the tickets he'd have gotten if he tried doing that in a car.\n\nTechnologically-empowered car sharing takes off\n\nThe car isn't going to disappear any time soon, but there are sure signs that we, in America at least, might be reaching the point of \"peak car,\" where per-capita car ownership peaks and then begins to decline. Kids are waiting longer to drive, those of us who do own cars are driving less, and \u2014 crucially \u2014 the number of carless and one car families is growing. The rise of car sharing services like Zipcar mean transit users can complete that \"last mile\" of their journey by car, or access a car if they need to for groceries of other errands, but rely on transit for their day-to-day movements. In fact, one study suggests that every car in a car sharing service leads to 32 fewer vehicles being sold to private buyers. And fewer car owners means more transit riders. Carpooling apps like Lyft are also making things easier. You no longer need to worry about getting stuck walking in the rain, or getting stranded if the bus doesn't show \u2014 just tap your phone and you have a ride, with none of the hassles of ownership.\n\nMore walkable neighborhoods\n\nIt's not just modes of mobility that's changing. It's the distances that people need to travel. People are moving into cities at astounding rates, with some estimates suggesting that 9 billion people will be living in urban areas. That's more than the entire population of the planet right now. The popularity of urban living is leading to a shift in terms of city planning, with denser, more walkable neighborhoods becoming commonplace \u2014 neighborhoods that serendipitously make transit more viable. Here in the Triangle, for example, it always seemed hard to envision light rail because our communities were simply too spread out \u2014 why take the train if you have to drive to the station to catch it? Now we're seeing new apartment buildings and mixed-use neighborhoods springing up all over the Triangle, and it's no accident that many of them seem concentrated along the proposed light rail route.\n\nTraffic jams suck\n\nThe flip side of cities being more suitable for walking, biking and transit is that they are really, really poorly suited car ownership. Searching for a parking place, navigating gridlock, paying congestion charges and other fees \u2014 none of this was remotely a part of the \"freedom\" that the motorcar promised back in the 20th century.

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

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

AND\n\n(3) The employee must customarily and regularly perform one or more of the exempt duties or responsibilities of an EAP-exempt employee.\n\nDuties Tests\n\nBe aware that job titles do not determine whether an employee qualifies for exempt status.\u00a0 In addition to earning at or above the new minimum salary level, an exempt employee must perform the duties or responsibilities of one or more of the following types of employees to qualify as an exempt EAP employee.\n\nAdministrative Employee (must satisfy ALL):\n\n(1) The employee\u2019s primary duty must be in the performance of office or non-manual work directly related to the management or general business operations of the employer or the employer\u2019s customers; AND\n\n(2) The employee\u2019s primary duty must include the exercise of discretion and independent judgment with respect to matters of significance.\n\nNote that the regulations emphasize duties that involve the exercise of discretion with respect to matters of significance.\u00a0 For example, administrative employees who have the discretion to commit the employer in matters of financial significance (such as through purchasing or budgeting) are generally classified as exempt.\n\nExecutive Employee (must satisfy ALL):\n\n(1) The employee must have a primary duty of managing the enterprise or a department or subdivision of the enterprise;

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

Lawmakers negotiated it with San Francisco housing developer Alastair Mactaggart, who spent millions of dollars to place the initiative on the ballot. He said he would pull the measure from the ballot if the bill is signed into law by the Thursday deadline to withdraw initiatives.\n\nThe bill now moves to the Senate Appropriations Committee, a spokeswoman for co-author Sen. Bob Hertzberg, D-Van Nuys, said. The full Assembly and Senate each plan to vote on the bill Thursday. Gov. Jerry Brown\u2019s office has not said whether he will sign it.\n\nLawmakers can more easily amend laws they pass than alter voter-enacted initiatives.\n\nLawmakers say the legislation will affect every California consumer and will likely inform legislation throughout the country.\n\nMactaggart said he supports the bill and his initiative, though he believes the legislative process is better tailored for enacting such policy. He said he has been pushing legislators to address the issue.\n\nThose who spoke against the bill, including the California Chamber of Commerce, said they favored it over the initiative and urged future changes.\n\n\u201cAlthough AB375 is deeply flawed, the privacy initiative is even worse,\u201d chamber lobbyist Sarah Boot said.\n\nThe bill has unclear language and could prevent companies from providing loyalty programs and notifications to customers, Boot said.\n\nThe bill would let consumers ask companies such as Google and Facebook what personal data has been collected, why it was collected and what categories of third parties have received it.\n\nConsumers could also ask companies to delete their information and refrain from selling it.\n\nCompanies could offer discounts to customers who allow their data to be sold and could charge those who opt out a reasonable amount based on how much the company makes selling the information.\n\nThe bill would also bar companies from selling data from users under 16 without consent.\n\nAssemblyman Ed Chau, an Arcadia Democrat and the chief bill author, said he doesn\u2019t like the rushed process forced by the ballot measure deadline, but he stressed that his bill gives Californians important privacy protections.\n\nSen. Hannah-Beth Jackson of Santa Barbara, who chairs the Judiciary Committee, cited negotiations late Sunday night that led to amendments to narrow technology companies\u2019 liability in the event of data breaches.\n\nConsumers could sue under the bill if their data was not encrypted or redacted and the company that collected it did not have reasonable security measures in place to protect it.\n\nAmendments suggested by Mactaggart were scrapped ahead of the committee hearing after a coalition funded by technology giants decried them, demonstrating their influence in the Capitol.\n\nJackson and the other Democrats on the committee supported the bill, but she said she believes it still has an \u201cenormous\u201d number of problems lawmakers would need to address before it takes effect in 2020.<|endoftext|>The Famous Birthdays: Celebrity birthdays and famous people biographies\n\nFamous 40 year olds\n\nBilly\u00a0LeBlanc\n\nBilly\u00a0LeBlanc (40)\n\nAmerican YouTube star\nChanning Tatum\n\nChanning Tatum (40)\n\nAmerican actor\nZooey Deschanel\n\nZooey Deschanel (40)\n\nAmerican actress, musician, and singer-songwriter\nJune Shannon\n\nJune Shannon (40)\n\nAmerican TV personality\n\nPink (40)\n\nAmerican singer\nGucci Mane\n\nGucci Mane (40)\n\nAmerican rapper and producer\n\nRonaldinho (40)\n\nShay Carl Butler\n\nShay Carl Butler (40)\n\nAmerican YouTube star\nChitrangada Singh\n\nChitrangada Singh (40)\n\nIndian actress\nJason Segel\n\nJason Segel (40)\n\nAmerican actor, singer, and screenwriter\nSheri Easterling\n\nSheri Easterling (40)\n\nAmerican TikTok star\nMelissa Rauch\n\nMelissa Rauch (40)\n\nComedian and actor\nOlivia Munn\n\nOlivia Munn (40)\n\nAmerican actress\nRandy Orton\n\nRandy Orton (40)\n\nAmerican wrestler\nKelly Brook\n\nKelly Brook (40)\n\nEnglish actress and model\nStacy Keibler\n\nStacy Keibler (40)\n\nAmerican actress, TV host and retired wrestler\nOlga Kurylenko\n\nOlga Kurylenko (40)\n\nUkrainian-French actress and model\n\nBrooke Norris (40)\n\nAustralian YouTuber\nAlistair Overeem\n\nAlistair Overeem (40)\n\nMixed martial artist and kickboxer\nSteven Gerrard\n\nSteven Gerrard (40)\n\nEnglish footballer\n\nGotye (40)\n\nAustralian singer-songwriter and musician\nEva Green\n\nEva Green (40)\n\nFrench actress\nJason Momoa\n\nJason Momoa (40)\n\nAmerican actor\nMichael Owen\n\nMichael Owen (40)\n\nEnglish footballer\nCharlie Hunnam\n\nCharlie Hunnam (40)\n\nBritish actor\nCote de Pablo\n\nCote de Pablo (40)\n\nChilean actress\nFlo Rida\n\nFlo Rida (40)\n\nAmerican rapper\nMinka Kelly\n\nMinka Kelly (40)\n\nAmerican actress\nChristina Ricci\n\nChristina Ricci (40)\n\nAmerican actress\nBam Margera\n\nBam Margera (40)\n\nAmerican skateboarder and director\nLamar Odom\n\nLamar Odom (40)\n\nAmerican basketball player\nSarah Shahi\n\nSarah Shahi (40)\n\nAmerican actress\nRose Byrne\n\nRose Byrne (40)\n\nAustralian actress\nMetta World Peace\n\nMetta World Peace (40)\n\nAmerican basketball player\nNoomi Rapace\n\nNoomi Rapace (40)\n\nSwedish actress\nSean Parker\n\nSean Parker (40)\n\nAmerican businessman\nJordana Brewster\n\nJordana Brewster (40)\n\nAmerican actress\nJohn Krasinski\n\nJohn Krasinski (40)\n\nAmerican actor\nAaron Paul\n\nAaron Paul (40)\n\nAmerican actor\n\nFGTeeV Mom (40)\n\nAmerican internet star\n\nYelawolf (40)\n\nAmerican rapper\nMama Bee\n\nMama Bee (40)\n\nUruguayan YouTuber\nMatthew Gray Gubler\n\nMatthew Gray Gubler (40)\n\nAmerican actor\nChelsea Clinton\n\nChelsea Clinton (40)\n\nAmerican journalist\n\nHowToBasic (40)\n\nAustralian YouTuber\nJennifer Carpenter\n\nJennifer Carpenter (40)\n\nAmerican actress\nKate Micucci\n\nKate Micucci (40)\n\nAmerican actress, comedian, and singer-songwriter\nTravis Fimmel\n\nTravis Fimmel (40)\n\nAustralian actor and model\n\nXavi (40)\n\nSpanish footballer\n\nDaniel Markham (40)\n\nFilipino YouTuber\nShinji Kagawa\n\nShinji Kagawa (40)", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 438578, "pt_loc": 137364642, "pt_shuffle_idx": 220211552, "doc_index_f": 345189314, "doc_index_l": 345189317, "offset_f": 5847, "offset_l": 965, "pt_injection_pos": 3, "pt_window_offset": 13, "pt_injection_len": 38, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [237, 140, 706, 966]} +{"pt_doc": "The bushes were resilient but the vegetables were vulnerable.

If the present owner\u2019s goal is to husband the company\u2019s assets to buy him out so he can retire, then the successors goal cannot be to leverage the business assets so that added capital can fuel growth.

This need is often magnified when the major asset is the family business. Often absentee ownership (child outside of the business) hampers the decision making process as the needs of those in the business are\u00a0different than those outside of the business.\n\nFor example, whenever a company makes a capital investment and increases debt, the ability to service the new debt and continue to pay out to non-working owners may become difficult. The owner in the business, additional capital investment is needed to grow the company. The non-business owner, the increased debt could reduce profits thereby reducing their annual distribution. In this case equal ownership presents a major challenge. Left on its own, the difference between their needs often results in serious conflict between the siblings and can have a far-reaching impact upon the family. It is important to treat siblings fairly. Often the solution is to treat each child equitably, while at the same time, not being required to treat each child equally.

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

Here is my work", "base_doc": " Illinois (something like a Mormon version of Williamsburg, Virginia), to Martin\u2019s Cove, Wyoming, the site of a terrible handcart disaster in 1856 that has been converted into a faith-promoting heritage site. These and other hallowed places allow Utah Mormons to commemorate the \u201cpioneer trek\u201d to the Great Basin. The sacred narrative of getting to Utah is more important than Zion itself.\n\nThe other church program is the worldwide creation of temples: those special-use limited-access buildings used for rituals (not the regular open-access church buildings used for Sunday services). In the pioneer period, temples were grand edifices that echoed Utah\u2019s mountains in their architecture. Each was different. But since 1997 the Church has built or authorized the construction of one hundred \u201cmini-temples,\u201d most of them beyond the Mormon Culture Region. In the pursuit of globalization, it is no longer practical or financially feasible for the church to continue erecting temples on the scale of the landmark pioneer structures.\n\nAs designed by church architects, the mini-temples accord to standard floor plans and contain standard furnishings. From a certain angle, they are not so different from hotel conference centers. The sacred temples are sealed off from nature\u2014no sunlit windows or fresh-air conduits. Mormonism, a movement that began with an outdoorsy prophet who encountered God in a woodlot, who used magical rocks to translate scriptures buried in a holy hill, who led the Latter-day Saints to a unique Center Place in North America on the borders of the Lamanites, is now managed by a global corporation that manufactures generic, fungible, sacred space with plush carpeting and upholstery. That, too, seems very American.\n\nAre you hoping just to inform readers? Give them pleasure? Piss them off?\n\nMostly I want to tell a great American story. In the process I\u2019m willing to challenge some popular notions held by Mormons about their history. But I\u2019m not obnoxious about it. By temperament, I\u2019m both a contrarian and a reconciliator. I don\u2019t belittle religion. Anti-Mormonism pisses me off.\n\nIn the nineteenth century and well into the twentieth, the US Protestant establishment vilified Utah Mormons as foreign, deviant, dangerous, violent, secretive, conspiratorial, theocratic, repressive, despotic, anti-democratic, un-American, un-Christian fanatics who followed a false prophet, read phony scriptures, worshiped in strange buildings, lived in desert communes, grew long beards, and kept women in political and sexual oppression.\u00a0They were variously likened to \u201cOriental,\u201d \u201cAsiatic,\u201d \u201cTurkish,\u201d and \u201cMohammedan\u201d peoples.\n\nIn 1902, when the Utah legislature elected LDS Church apostle Reed Smoot as senator, the US Senate refused to seat him for four years while it conducted hearings and investigations on the question: Can a faithful Mormon also be a loyal American? Traces of these attitudes persist. The media routinely conflates the LDS Church with Mormon fundamentalists (more properly called fundamentalist believers in late-period Joseph Smith).\n\nDid you have a specific audience in mind when writing?\n\nI wanted to reach two entirely different lay readers: local Mormons who could use something besides insular, faith-promoting history; and non-Mormons outside Utah who could use an informed, even-handed historical account of life \u201cbehind the Zion Curtain.\u201d\n\nThe timing seemed right.

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

He was also able to find the record of a Pierre Galland who was born about the time our Pierre Larch\u00c3\u00a9 was. These facts pose the question, was the name Gallant really a surname given in Acadia, or did the name originate in France? The question also arises, was the Michel Gallant, who sailed to Acadia in 1636, really the Pierre Larch\u00c3\u00a9 the father of Michel Hach\u00c3\u00a9-Gallant? The span of years mentioned would have allowed this.\n\nPierre Larch\u00c3\u00a9 was employed by Nicholas Denys, a persistent, if luckless entrepreneur who in 1650 had established a trading post at St. Pierre, Ile Royale, located beside the present day St. Peter's Canal, on Cape Breton Island. Larch\u00c3\u00a9 had been married to an Adrianne Langlois, born abut 1640, but he was thought to have taken a Micmac wife when he was at St. Pierre. Larch\u00c3\u00a9 died about 1668 in Miscou, New Brunswick and was dead when his daughter Madeleine was married to Elie Voisen, in Notre Dame Church in Quebec on October 15, 1688.\n\nNicholas Denys' commercial establishment in Acadia was not mentioned in the census of the time. Not being on friendly terms with those in authority at Port Royal, Nicholas Denys often did business with those at Quebec where he had numerous and well-established friends. Nicholas Denys met with many difficulties from his rivals, who in 1667 captured the establishment he had at St. Pierre in Cape Breton. During that summer Nicholas Denys, who was already 70 years old, crossed to France on one of his rival La Giraudiere's ships. During his absence, his only son Richard looked after his business. Denys returned from France the following spring on a ship that probably went directly to Quebec. The French authorities having restored Denys' former rights at St. Pierre, his son went to get him in a schooner.\n\nIt is very likely on the occasion of this voyage that, after the death of their father, Richard Denys would have brought Michel Larch\u00c3\u00a9 along with his sister Madeleine, to Trois-Rivi\u00c3\u00a8res in New France, and that Nicholas Denys confided them to his son-in-law Michel Leneuf and his daughter Mary. This would explain the baptismal act of April 24, 1668, if it really is Michel Larche's.\n\nDenys' establishment at St. Pierre was destroyed by fire during the winter of 1668-69. Now ruined, Denys took refuge at Nipisiquit (Bathurst) during the summer of 1669. He died there in 1688 at the age of 90. Incidentally, Deny's trading post at St. Pierre, which was partially excavated by a Canadian Parks Service team in 1985, is one of the most significant 17th-century sites in Atlantic Canada. See historical site at:\n\nAt Trois-Rivi\u00c3\u00a8res in New France\n\nMichel LeNeuf, Sieur de la Valli\u00c3\u00a8re, Landlord and founder of Beaubassin, moved there from Trois-Rivi\u00c3\u00a8res. It was at Trois-Rivi\u00c3\u00a8res on 24 April 1668, that M de la Poterie, father of Michel LeNeuf and of Miss de la Valli\u00c3\u00a8re, stood with Miss de la Valli\u00c3\u00a8re as godfather and godmother of a boy named Michel, who was eight years old, came from Acadia and had a father who was French and a mother who was probably Micmac. The baptized child may have been Michel Hach\u00c3\u00a9, whom the Sieur de la Valli\u00c3\u00a8re considered his adopted son, his man of trust.\n\nMichel Hach\u00c3\u00a9's baptismal records still exist in Quebec and state that he was baptized April 24, 1668, when he was eight years old, with documentation that his father was a Frenchman and his mother was an Esquimo (but more likely was a Mexis Indian as there were no Eskimo in this region of Canada).\n\nIt is not known if Michel Hach\u00c3\u00a9 had brothers, but a Madeline Larch\u00c3\u00a9, who may have been a sister, was reported to have married a Elie Voisin, on 15 October 1668, at Quebec with a dowry of 300 pounds. Sir Pierre Denys, son of Simon Denys and husband of Catherine Leneuf, and so brother-in-law to Michel Leneuf, attended Madeline's wedding as principal witness, which supports the hypotheses that Madeline was Michel Larche's sister. Otherwise, why would Sir Pierre Denys, a person of fame in Quebec, future Lord of Perce in Gaspe, have attended the wedding? In the same manner, the presence of Pierre Denys, Catherine Leneuf's husband at the wedding, would point to some relationship between Madeline Larch\u00c3\u00a9 and Michel Larch\u00c3\u00a9. Madeline was taken to court 18 July 1678 and was accused of living a scandalous life. She was condemned to spend four days in prison and then leave the city of Quebec. On the 15th and 18th of September of the following year, she was again taken to court and", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 443486, "pt_loc": 240481809, "pt_shuffle_idx": 189208871, "doc_index_f": 296605136, "doc_index_l": 296605137, "offset_f": 389, "offset_l": 1930, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 34, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [118, 1931]} +{"pt_doc": "Eric bought Ian a skateboard for his birthday because _ could skateboard and really wanted one.\nOption 1: Eric\nOption 2: Ian\nAnswer: 2<|endoftext|> Stand by Me, we interviewed the various musicians and technicians and staff who came out to lend a hand.\n\nYesterday, the first interview we watched was Jesse's.

I wanted to understand what it was that kept him there.\"\n\nJesse asked to understand and the man wanted to share his story. \"He told me some crazy stories about how he became what he was in that moment and it was sad. He wasn't a bad guy. Just in a lot of tough situations. He talked. I listened.\"\n\nAfter three or four hours of listening, Jesse got up and dug in his pocket and found all the money he had with him.

His voice grows soft.\n\nThe man wouldn't take his money. \"You've given me something I've never had before,\" said the man. \"No one's ever taken the time to hear what I have to say. Nobody's ever cared enough to listen.\"\n\nJesse pauses. Catches his breath.\n\n\"A story is non-rhetorical,\" said Jesse. \"It's not looking for an answer. It's just looking to be spread.

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

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

Outsourcing - According to Poria (2003), before outsourcing is put into effect the leaders must first understand the company's overall strategies and the potential impact this decision can have on the company as a whole in terms of morale, effectiveness, financial options, and long term and short term goals across departments. Global Communications did not have any planned strategies on how to handle the move of hundred of jobs overseas. Open communication is lacking between the stakeholders of Global Communications and not all stakeholders were involved in the decision-making process. With the lack of communication and stakeholder involvement there is a great resistance for the planned outsourcing and the opposition of union workers to do any further negotiation. To deal with the resistance faced all stakeholders of Global Communications will need to be informed of the need to change as the organization moves towards globalization due to the competitive telecommunications industry.\n\n2.

There must not be a volcano within hundreds of miles of the city. I mean, there aren't any volcanic mountain ranges in southern California...right? The faults are all strike-slip and thrusts. It just doesn't seem likely. So how to find out? Maybe, a look at the interactive geologic map of California\u00a0from the California Geological Survey\u00a0(clue: most of the volcanic rocks on the map are pink or orange...).\nIs the coast really toast, or is it already toasted?\n\n\nLyle said...\n\nPlease make that coastal southern CA, after all there are Amboy and Ludlow craters in the Mohave which by many definitions is southern CA all be it on a different plate than LA.At least the volcano in the movie appeared to erupt a more basaltic lava, since in flowed to the sea in the end so at least its similar.\n\nGaelyn said...\n\nSeems like a lot of fantasizing going on here.\n\nRandy A. said...\n\nSouthern California has lots of Tertiary volcanic rocks, and some of them can look quite young... But I'm not away of any Quaternary volcanics (and couldn't find any on the map you linked) except for the Mojave cinder cones mentioned by Lyle.\n\nFor me, one of the most ridiculous things about that movie, \"Volcano\", was that they stopped and redirected the lava flow using concrete \"K-rails\". Apparently nobody told the writers and directors that basalt has a greater density than concrete. Using concrete to dam a basalt lava flow would be like using balsa wood to dam a flood of water!<|endoftext|>Tuesday, July 19th, 2016\n\n\u201cPrecipitous Pepper Purchase\u201d Precludes Pot Pushers\u2019 Partying\n\n\nIn today\u2019s\u00a0United States v. Compton, the Second Circuit (Walker, Raggi, Hall, C.JJ.) held a\u00a0Border Patrol agent had reasonable suspicion to stop Compton and his brother, found to be transporting 145 pounds of marijuana, based on \u201c(1) the brothers\u2019 avoidance of [a Border Patrol]\u00a0checkpoint, (2) the checkpoint\u2019s proximity to the [Canadian] border, and (3) the brothers\u2019 peculiar attempt to conceal the avoidance.\u201d \u00a0The \u201cpeculiar attempt\u201d was the brothers\u2019 \u201cabruptly slow[ing] down\u201d when their SUV\u00a0came within sight of the checkpoint and then \u201cveer[ing] into the U\u2010shaped driveway of [a] vegetable stand\u201d where they each bought \u201ca pint of peppers.\u201d\n\n\u201cBecause [the agent] had already determined that the SUV had made the abrupt turn into the vegetable stand in order to avoid the checkpoint, [he] could reasonably interpret the pepper purchase to be an attempt to conceal that avoidance. \u00a0He could reasonably discount the probability of an alternate explanation, such as a sudden pepper emergency (such predicaments occur infrequently) or a simple desire to avoid a delay (taking the extra time to park a car and go shopping is hardly consistent with a motorist who avoids a checkpoint because he or she is in a hurry). \u00a0And he could reasonably be suspicious of individuals who appeared to be taking steps to actively deceive law enforcement.\u201d\n\n\u201cMoreover, the improbability of a pepper emergency occurring immediately upon the appearance of a border checkpoint rendered the brothers\u2019 ruse even more suspicious. \u00a0A person who resorts to an odd and poorly conceived concealment measure to avoid contact with law enforcement authorities is more likely to be desperate to avoid detection of unlawful activity.\u201d\n\nTakeaways for the Defense Bar\n\n1. \u00a0The \u201cprecipitous pepper purchase\u201d likely did the brothers in, as \u201c[a]voidance of a checkpoint alone is probably insufficient to establish reasonable suspicion,\u201d\u00a0even when the checkpoint is close to a border (which most Border Patrol checkpoints are).\n\n2. \u00a0The subsequent dog sniff, which led to discovery of the marijuana, was lawful only because the agent saw a blanket in the backseat covering items that could have contained\u00a0drugs and he \u201cconducted the extended investigation with reasonable promptness. \u00a0He radioed [another agent], who arrived with the canine in under a minute. \u00a0The canine sniff that confirmed the presence of narcotics took no more than five minutes. \u00a0The Fourth Amendment permits a brief extension of a Terry stop in order to conduct a canine sniff to resolve suspicions enhanced during the initial stop.\u201d\n\nComments are closed.<|endoftext|>- Term Papers and Free Essays\n\nGeneric Benchmarking Sheet\n\nThis essay Generic Benchmarking Sheet is available for you on!

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

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

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

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

[the roller coaster video clip from Final Destination 3]\nNjoy! *evil grin*\n\nThursday, July 3, 2008\n\nso, what changed your life?\n\nI've been going through one of those metamorphosis phases in life. Things happen, take you offguard, sweep you off your feet before you could even realise, and thud! your are thrown down with a bang.. and then you pick yourself up, brush off the dust, nurse your wounds, think over it, promise yourself to be more careful, and without realising, end up altering your life and outlook towards it to an extent. Most of the time, this metamorphosis happens without awareness..\n\nAnd then today, someone at work just caught me offguard: 'Hey!! Good Morning. So Usha, WHAT changed your life?'\nMe: 'umm.. well.. ahem.. ??!'\n\nChange is good.\n\nother updates: went to the Infant Jesus church today, after a real long time. Experienced 'peace in chaos' for one more time. Loved it.\n\nSaturday, June 28, 2008\n\n\nThat's exactly where I was a few months back..\nMiserable, and in denial mode after being pushed in to committing to something I've been running away from, for more than a decade now.\n\nMy certification exam voucher's validity was till June 30, and as any typical adiyal bachha, I was just putting it off to the (n-2)nd day. Actually, I realised I'm better off, as I just bumped into quite a few folks who put it off to the nth day.. I'm proud of you, my buddies!! no, really!\n\nSo, I've been making real honest efforts to get out of my mental block, you know..\nTried several silly tactics to trick my brain into learning it.\nOne of them was to go learn something I've always wanted to, so that I could balance it with something I've never wanted to learn.. n so, enrolled myself for the Guitar classes.. It was super fun. Though a few 'Bonnies' and '500 miles' later, I had to take a break from it.. (no, not forever.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Now.\n\nONE POTENT STEP THAT A SOFT GREEN CAN MAKE TOWARD SANITY: Acknowledge The Importance of Reducing Our Population Level\n\nRE. \u201dThree Potent Steps to a Sane Economy\u201d by Mike Nickerson\n\nClassic Mike Nickerson. No mention at all of immigrant-driven population growth. The prescription is always to reduce waste and economic activity that involves inputs of non-renewable resources. But reducing these things must involve a reduction in our population level, unless one assumes that a human being, especially one who inhabits a very cold country like Canada, can infinitely reduce his consumption to compensate for the population growth which soft greens like Nickerson will not challenge. He suggests that we seek personal fulfillment through laughter, art, music and dance, but while we are laughing, painting, strumming acoustic guitars and dancing, we must feed, clothe and keep ourselves from freezing in the dark. This must involve resource extraction. You cannot support a society on an economy of painters, musicians and dancers. Such a society would still have to rely on someone to produce the goods created by primary and secondary industry\u2014if not here then abroad. But that would imply a system of international or regional trade which involves an unsustainable transportation network. Oil underpins the whole system. A very much smaller number of people would tax the resource base at a more forgiving rate. A \u201csane\u201d economy is one that involves all three levels of extraction, processing and distribution within the smallest locality that is viable. The global economy that by definition undermines local self-sufficiency not only is defined by the unfettered trade of goods and services, but the unfettered movement of labour to areas that hunger for the cheapest inputs of labour. If soft greens oppose globalism, they must also oppose international migration. Not to do so is \u201cinsane\u201d.\n\n\nFirst, Nickerson says: \"that human activity is touching planetary limits\". Actually, human activity has exceeded planetary limits about 10,000 years ago when we began agriculture which steadily eliminated the possibility of sustainable low-tech hunting-gathering where human numbers were checked by available wild food.\n\nThis sounds like feel-good ineffectual inaction:", "base_doc": " that join house to house, that lay field to field, that there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!\"\n\nNow, despite His Celtic nature, some would question God\u2019s credentials as a critic of land-use planning.

Instead of donating my collection to their clean-up drive, I will wait until early dawn the next morning and scatter the contents of my bags over areas from which they removed litter the day before. Another deterrent to tourism. Catch me if you can.\n7. As a final gesture of defiance and the one that will give me the most satifaction, I will follow the daily route taken by a neighbourhood Sierran who stops to pick litter along the road. He was the one who conducted a race-baiting slander campaign to isolate me politically and socially. I will roll down my car window and toss out candy wrappers that I will have on hand on the passenger seat, crumbled into balls and ready for action. Witnesses?\n\nMany would characterize this, and other such actions as brazenly nihilistic, as \u201ccutting off my nose to spite my face.\u201d But I will foul my own nest if only I can raise a largely symbolic middle index finger to the environmental bowel movement, who are demographic litterbugs on a scale that dwarfs any damage that I could do to the biosphere. To hasten the demise of this civilization to any degree is the best favour one could perform for humanity, which must be scaled down by a major die-off of 6 billion or more in order that a remnant of biodiversity is still available to the handful of survivors.\n\nIt is socially responsible to be socially irresponsible.\n\nBring on the Apocalypse. Now.\n\nONE POTENT STEP THAT A SOFT GREEN CAN MAKE TOWARD SANITY: Acknowledge The Importance of Reducing Our Population Level\n\nRE. \u201dThree Potent Steps to a Sane Economy\u201d by Mike Nickerson\n\nClassic Mike Nickerson. No mention at all of immigrant-driven population growth. The prescription is always to reduce waste and economic activity that involves inputs of non-renewable resources. But reducing these things must involve a reduction in our population level, unless one assumes that a human being, especially one who inhabits a very cold country like Canada, can infinitely reduce his consumption to compensate for the population growth which soft greens like Nickerson will not challenge. He suggests that we seek personal fulfillment through laughter, art, music and dance, but while we are laughing, painting, strumming acoustic guitars and dancing, we must feed, clothe and keep ourselves from freezing in the dark. This must involve resource extraction. You cannot support a society on an economy of painters, musicians and dancers. Such a society would still have to rely on someone to produce the goods created by primary and secondary industry\u2014if not here then abroad. But that would imply a system of international or regional trade which involves an unsustainable transportation network. Oil underpins the whole system. A very much smaller number of people would tax the resource base at a more forgiving rate. A \u201csane\u201d economy is one that involves all three levels of extraction, processing and distribution within the smallest locality that is viable. The global economy that by definition undermines local self-sufficiency not only is defined by the unfettered trade of goods and services, but the unfettered movement of labour to areas that hunger for the cheapest inputs of labour. If soft greens oppose globalism, they must also oppose international migration. Not to do so is \u201cinsane\u201d.\n\n\nFirst, Nickerson says: \"that human activity is touching planetary limits\". Actually, human activity has exceeded planetary limits about 10,000 years ago when we began agriculture which steadily eliminated the possibility of sustainable low-tech hunting-gathering where human numbers were checked by available wild food.\n\nThis sounds like feel-good ineffectual inaction:\n\"In order to achieve a balanced relationship with the Earth, we need to picture a new order in our hearts and in our minds.

Melville, the other great poet of the 19th Century, in his prose, had infinite command of minute particulars, in his poetry, quite a good command, but still was writing in a limited closed form, and.. but he was getting close. \u00a0Emily Dickinson had intelligent metaphysical detail and garden detail - but it was a smaller form.. Now,Whitman opened up space completely, opened up the space of the line, broke open the line, so that you could say anything you want, could notice anything you want, and could bring in all the everyday particulars of kitchen-ware life, dock life, skyscraper life...\" \u00a0 \u00a0\n\n\"After I wrote Howl, I went back to Whitman, because I was interested in how he handled the long line . I read Whitman from beginning to end in this particular Modern Library edition of Leaves of Grass.\nHe broke open the line so that you could talk with unobstructed breath, you could use the breath as long as you want, to explain your idea.\"\n\n\"If Whitman tells America, \"I am large, I contain multitudes\", it's that he contains multitudes of thought - just like anybody else. \"I am vast..\" \u00a0My mind is as big as the horizon that you see about because in my mind I can see the horizon, so therefore it enters my mind, so therefore my mind is as big as the horizon.\"\n\n\"He loved his fellows and that's kind of universal, whether it was genital, is another matter, likely it was,\u00a0as I know, I've slept with Neal Cassady who slept with Gavin Arthur who slept with Edward Carpenter\u00a0who described sleeping with Whitman to Gavin Arthur, [The \"Gay Succession\"], so there was, perhaps, some general directness there.\"\n\n\"\"Earth My Likeness\" in which he finally confesses completely to anybody who's reading carefully (sic). \"I now suspect that that is not all/I now suspect there's something fierce in you eligible to burst forth/ For an athlete is enamour'd of me, and I of him/But toward him there is something fierce and terrible in me eligible to burst forth/I dare not tell it in words, not even in these songs\" - So there he's already told you.\"\n\n\"He never was overt in the sense of speaking of \"the Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name\". On the other hand, his descriptions of his feelings were overt.\"\n\nAllen reads Whitman's \"A Glimpse\" at \u00a0approximately thirty-seven-and-a-quarter minutes in\u00a0( \"A glimpse through an interstice caught/Of a crowd of workmen and drivers in a bar-room around the stove late of a winter\u00a0night, and I unremark'd seated in a corner,/Of a youth who loves me and whom I love, silently approaching and seating himself\u00a0near, that he may hold me by the hand,/A long while amid the noises of coming and going, of drinking and oath and smutty\u00a0jest,/There we two, content, happy in being together, speaking little, perhaps not a word\").\n\n\"Whitman's role in the war was not killing but healing. He went to hospitals and took care of young kids who were wounded and sometimes dying, and kissed them on their deathbeds, probably weeping young boys that had never seen life. There's this old bearded Father Time figure, totally in love with them, taking care of them.\"\n\n\"So, he doesn't know what is happening to his he says - [At approximately fifty-and-three-quarter minutes in,\u00a0Allen reads \"As I sit writing here- \"As I sit writing here, sick and grown old,/Not my least burden is the dulness of the years, querilities/ Ungracious glooms, aches, lethargy, constipation, whimpering ennui,/ May filter in my daily songs.\" - that's an old little poem, worried about his constipation getting into his poetry (he inherited that before) and finally realizes a more Oriental calm in a poem called \"Twilight\", in \"Sands at Seventy\" - [Allen reads the poem approximately fifty-one-and three-quarter minutes in) -\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\"The soft voluptuous \u00a0opiate-shades/ The sun just gone, the eager light dispelled,/A haze, nirvana - rest and night - oblivion\"]\"\n\n\"All of the Leaves of Grass dissolved, all of the Earth dissolved, \u00a0all of the Universe dissolved, all the sound of the world dissolved...\"\n\nFriday, July 26, 2013\n\nFriday's Weekly Round-Up - 136\n\n[Allen Ginsberg's old shoes (a pair of sneakers made in then-communist Czechoslovakia) and a\nletter from\u00a0Lawrence Ferlinghetti\u00a0- part of the\u00a0Allen Ginsberg Archives at Stanford University]\n\nAn interesting review/profile/spotlight,\u00a0coming off Bill Morgan's recent talk at Stanford, the home of Allen's Archive \u00a0- and an enthused response (to that curious thing - the poetry archive) lead off the Friday Round-Up this week.\u00a0\n\nand we mentioned already Peter Orlovsky's archives, right?\n\nPat Nolan's \"The Quantum of Kerouac\" in the current Poetry Flash is definitely worth a read.\u00a0\n\nDavid Barnett in The Guardian also has the Kerouac bug.\n\n[Some of Jack Kerouac's Personal Effects - on display at The New York Public Library\u00a02011]\u00a0\n\nSan Francisco's Beat gathering last week, the Beat Reunion, \u00a0gets a tv profile from reporter Rebecca Bowring\u00a0here.

Melville, the other great poet of the 19th Century, in his prose, had infinite command of minute particulars, in his poetry, quite a good command, but still was writing in a limited closed form, and.. but he was getting close. \u00a0Emily Dickinson had intelligent metaphysical detail and garden detail - but it was a smaller form.. Now,Whitman opened up space completely, opened up the space of the line, broke open the line, so that you could say anything you want, could notice anything you want, and could bring in all the everyday particulars of kitchen-ware life, dock life, skyscraper life...\" \u00a0 \u00a0\n\n\"After I wrote Howl, I went back to Whitman, because I was interested in how he handled the long line . I read Whitman from beginning to end in this particular Modern Library edition of Leaves of Grass.\nHe broke open the line so that you could talk with unobstructed breath, you could use the breath as long as you want, to explain your idea.\"\n\n\"If Whitman tells America, \"I am large, I contain multitudes\", it's that he contains multitudes of thought - just like anybody else. \"I am vast..\" \u00a0My mind is as big as the horizon that you see about because in my mind I can see the horizon, so therefore it enters my mind, so therefore my mind is as big as the horizon.\"\n\n\"He loved his fellows and that's kind of universal, whether it was genital, is another matter, likely it was,\u00a0as I know, I've slept with Neal Cassady who slept with Gavin Arthur who slept with Edward Carpenter\u00a0who described sleeping with Whitman to Gavin Arthur, [The \"Gay Succession\"], so there was, perhaps, some general directness there.\"\n\n\"\"Earth My Likeness\" in which he finally confesses completely to anybody who's reading carefully (sic). \"I now suspect that that is not all/I now suspect there's something fierce in you eligible to burst forth/ For an athlete is enamour'd of me, and I of him/But toward him there is something fierce and terrible in me eligible to burst forth/I dare not tell it in words, not even in these songs\" - So there he's already told you.\"\n\n\"He never was overt in the sense of speaking of \"the Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name\". On the other hand, his descriptions of his feelings were overt.\"\n\nAllen reads Whitman's \"A Glimpse\" at \u00a0approximately thirty-seven-and-a-quarter minutes in\u00a0( \"A glimpse through an interstice caught/Of a crowd of workmen and drivers in a bar-room around the stove late of a winter\u00a0night, and I unremark'd seated in a corner,/Of a youth who loves me and whom I love, silently approaching and seating himself\u00a0near, that he may hold me by the hand,/A long while amid the noises of coming and going, of drinking and oath and smutty\u00a0jest,/There we two, content, happy in being together, speaking little, perhaps not a word\").\n\n\"Whitman's role in the war was not killing but healing. He went to hospitals and took care of young kids who were wounded and sometimes dying, and kissed them on their deathbeds, probably weeping young boys that had never seen life. There's this old bearded Father Time figure, totally in love with them, taking care of them.\"\n\n\"So, he doesn't know what is happening to his he says - [At approximately fifty-and-three-quarter minutes in,\u00a0Allen reads \"As I sit writing here- \"As I sit writing here, sick and grown old,/Not my least burden is the dulness of the years, querilities/ Ungracious glooms, aches, lethargy, constipation, whimpering ennui,/ May filter in my daily songs.\" - that's an old little poem, worried about his constipation getting into his poetry (he inherited that before) and finally realizes a more Oriental calm in a poem called \"Twilight\", in \"Sands at Seventy\" - [Allen reads the poem approximately fifty-one-and three-quarter minutes in) -\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\"The soft voluptuous \u00a0opiate-shades/ The sun just gone, the eager light dispelled,/A haze, nirvana - rest and night - oblivion\"]\"\n\n\"All of the Leaves of Grass dissolved, all of the Earth dissolved, \u00a0all of the Universe dissolved, all the sound of the world dissolved...\"\n\nFriday, July 26, 2013\n\nFriday's Weekly Round-Up - 136\n\n[Allen Ginsberg's old shoes (a pair of sneakers made in then-communist Czechoslovakia) and a\nletter from\u00a0Lawrence Ferlinghetti\u00a0- part of the\u00a0Allen Ginsberg Archives at Stanford University]\n\nAn interesting review/profile/spotlight,\u00a0coming off Bill Morgan's recent talk at Stanford, the home of Allen's Archive \u00a0- and an enthused response (to that curious thing - the poetry archive) lead off the Friday Round-Up this week.\u00a0\n\nand we mentioned already Peter Orlovsky's archives, right?\n\nPat Nolan's \"The Quantum of Kerouac\" in the current Poetry Flash is definitely worth a read.\u00a0\n\nDavid Barnett in The Guardian also has the Kerouac bug.\n\n[Some of Jack Kerouac's Personal Effects - on display at The New York Public Library\u00a02011]\u00a0\n\nSan Francisco's Beat gathering last week, the Beat Reunion, \u00a0gets a tv profile from reporter Rebecca Bowring\u00a0here.
