Okay, so not a whole lot has changed in the new design of the subreddit (besides a few tweaks and bugfixes), but after setting up the new flair, and also seeing this old and busted design on the show (multiple times) I've realized how badly we need the new design. So. I'm going to open the design up to testing now, even though all the styling isn't complete. I'm more worried about the more ambitious things working well (like the header), minor style tweaks/improvements can happen after it goes live. Stylistically it's already much better than the current design so I'm comfortable with doing that. Check it out at /r/diamondclubtheme. Feel free I guess to submit stuff there for testing. Let me know if you find any bugs and annoyances in this post so I can fix them or at least respond to them. If all goes relatively well, we can switch over as soon as possible. If you guys prefer, I could also just move it over, and we could live bugtest, it might give me more incentive to get off my ass and finish the thing, but there's potential of some things being broken. Anyways, let me know in the comments.

Doesn't the "change" in mortgages have to be included somewhere? The US Govt. felt it was a good thing if more low income and minority borrowers were able to buy the own homes so they instructed banks to issue more mortgages to these kind of borrowers. Unfortunately, many of these borrowers really weren't good credit risks, and so they started to default on their loans. When these defaults really started to take off, coupled with the banks' repackaging of the loans, that is really what lead to the whole problem.

Shelly, I am looking for an Analyst to fill a position in Gas Risk Management.
I am the West Desk Controller and report to Jeff Gossett.
I think a Book Administrator role is a good position for an Analyst.
We have had success in with Analysts in our group.
I think it presents a good opportunity for them as well.
Please let me know how I can get on a list to talk with potential candidates.
I am ignorant of the process, so if I am presuming something incorrect, I would appreciate info on how this is supposed to work.
Thanks for your help.

Since IR is not visible to the human eye we can choose to use a blue wavelength somewhere around 450nm as one end of the IR spectrum and violet as the other end of the IR spectrum (around 380nm). This would produce a visible representation of the IR wavelengths of light that are being reflected by the objects in the photos. Wait, what? There is infrared and ultraviolet that represent the ends of our visable light spectrum. Infra has latin roots and means below. Infra red is below red, meaning it has a longer wavelength than red. Ultra has latin roots as well and means above. Ultraviolet is above violet, meaning it has a shorter wavelength. Those are the ends of our spectrum. They aren't all encompassing, since radio waves are technically infrared but aren't called so. Pictures come out white because that is the computer's interpretation of the IR color. Take the IR filter off of a webcam and you will see what I mean. You will also notice it picks up things in the infrared spectrum but not the ultraviolet spectrum.

This definitely was a big deal, and obviously you felt badly enough about it that you wanted to tell someone. Don't stuff this experience down into yourself and hide it away. I understand you may not want to go to the police or tell many people, but talk to your doctor if not a psychiatrist, if you can't find anyone to talk to. Or a helpful redditor if you want. It doesn't matter, you need to acknowledge and cope with this. The feeling that it's your fault because you didn't act will stay in the back of your mind and fester, but you told this subreddit, so maybe this is how you're dealing and getting acknowledgement. So yeah, you're right to feel this way. This was a big deal, and you're not a drama queen. You seem to realize it wasn't your fault that you froze up, as it's a stressful situation, but it bears repetition. You did nothing wrong. It was a very dangerous situation, and going into shock/unresponsiveness is how many victims deal with their traumatic experiences. And that is definitely sexual abuse that happened to you, not something bullshit. You said no, and he clearly saw your reluctance. That was disgusting of him to do, as a person, as your body language seems damn clear, even if a judge might say otherwise. I hope you find your way through this and get to a better place, but don't act like it was nothing and you should just move on. I know if you do then you start feeling terrible, but that passes, I guarantee it, I've seen it many many times, the ranges of emotional turmoil, and how much people let on to the public. But you'll come out stronger at the other side. Also your friend needs to learn some of the realities of dealing with trauma. Yeah, he has a point that you could've been murdered and you were in a very dangerous position, but the blame balance is sooo not pointed at you.

Yes, you would be travelling through a huge void.
The sky would get progressively less and less starry over the millions of years, as you slowly leave the disc of our galaxy (all the stars we see with the naked eye are within our galaxy).
The sky would be fairly uninteresting for the hundreds of millions of years it would take to get there - every light in the sky would be a nearby galaxy, and they will be faint and distant compared to the stars we see at night.
You'd get a great view of what is hiding behind the galactic centre though :)

Well said, thank you. I would never tell anyone to 'get over it' when they're the target of 'humor' based on hurtful stereotypes and I would appreciate it if the same courtesy were extended to me within my own community It took me a long time to come to this same understanding, and for a long time I was one of the same sort of people who would shout, "Oh come on, get over it" etc. I realize now that that's a profoundly unfair request to make of someone, and often a hypocritical one, as we've all got our sore-spots and touchy issues. It doesn't reflect well on us when we forget that fact and get hostile with others for expressing their feelings because sooner or later we're likely to be in the same spot, and greatly resenting anyone who gets hostile and tells us that our feelings don't matter. We should recognize that it's not a transsexual becoming upset by a joke at the expense of transsexuals, but the fact that there is a strong culture of alienation marginalization and stigma attached to transsexual people in our culture that is the underlying problem here. If we work on that, then we'll end up having an awful lot fewer sentiments of offence to get upset over when transsexuals don't laugh at certain jokes that many of us may otherwise find to be both hilarious and in good humor. It takes a bit of distance from tragedy before it can be safely laughed at, after all, and that sort of distance from being treated like they belong in a freak-show is a luxury which transsexuals in our society presently do not enjoy.

Nope. We're a semi-socialist, shareholder capitalistic republic that thinks it's a capitalist democracy.
For clarity:
> A semi-socialist, shareholder capitalistic republic is one in which some services are provided by the government, and the rest is left to private industry in which anyone can purchase a share in a company. The government is run by elected officials, hired personnel, and officials elected by other elected officials.
> A capitalist democracy is one in which the government provides nothing and leaves everything to private industry, and the people vote for its officers.

It's unadulterated pseudoarchaeology. He's a textbook example of hyperdiffusionism, an obsession that archaeologists at the turn of the century had with attributing the spread of technology, cultural practices and "civilisation" in general to physical movements of people; ultimately tracing everything back to the Near East. There's simply no reason for that to be the null hypothesis (independent inventions and cultural "borrowing" being just as likely) and in this there's absolutely no evidence of any contact between the Old and New Worlds between the initial peopling of the New World c. 12,000 BP and [sporadic expeditions by the Norse in the Middle Ages](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norse_colonization_of_the_Americas).
I can't think of any proper references on Heyerdahl's ideas specifically though. I only remember that Martin Rundqvist has written about him on [his blog](http://scienceblogs.com/aardvarchaeology/2010/11/thor_heyerdahl_and_hyperdiffus.php) a few times.

As I make my decent from Everest, surprisingly, at a deteriorating age of 45, I wonder, 'is this a metaphor of my life?' Would it still count if I jumped to my death right now, or do I have to make it back down alive? I long to be remembered. Is that everybody's desire, or am I just greedy?
Living the rest of my life sharing my stories would not be fulfilling, but it would let more people know about me. Is that what I want? Should I reproduce to carry my bloodline? This is a primitive desire, but it is why I have come to be born. This intrinsic thought frustrates me.
What is there left to do? Every dream is over? There has to be something. Without a dream, I'm living a hollow life. I'm just here to consume. I'm eating someone else's food. I'm occupying a space someone else could use, someone else with a dream. Someone who could put to use the things I have, so they may fulfill their dream. I'm in their way.
...Or I could help them.

To add on to that, the maritime provinces were especially populated by the Mohawk Nation, and Acadians (both of whom did not have significant stakes in either side winning - well the British were generally more protective of Native land rights, but in a very realpolitik way).
Acadians, in case OP is unaware, are a French speaking group (similar to the Quebecois, but nonetheless a different ethnic group). As a French-speaking group, the British highly distrusted them (in fact, they deported many of them - that's what the Cajuns in America, primarily Louisiana, are - Acadians who were expelled from the Canadian maritime provinces).
So, the Acadians had no love lost for the Anglophones on both sides, and thus would typically try to play neutral. Some would take the French side or English side throughout their colonial squabble, but typically they remained neutral, and were highly distrusting of the colonists, who were Englishmen essentially.
The colonists did invite the Maritime colonies to join the revolution (and of course they unsuccessfully invaded Quebec), but with the British fleet at Halifax, as DavidMatthew mentioned, it simply wasn't going to happen.

Every city has a key feature. The moment I put my eyes in New York I couldn't stop admiring the blue skies and the iron escape stairs. They are indeed NYC signature.
Love the eclectic façade, perfect iron stairs and it couldn't blend more perfectly with the infinite.
For now, blue sky will be called New York Blue, my favourite colour.
What's your city's architecture feature? What about colour?

I started playing about 3 days ago and I don't think I have felt this way in a long time. It's been a while since something has managed to successfully make me flushed. The object of my affection isn't one of the characters but rather the feeling this VN gave me. I'm at a loss for words, much like Rin, but I don't have a medium to express myself through so I guess my last resort is a rant out here. I haven't experienced any such VNs before or played a dating sim (even though this felt far from it), so excuse me if this post reeks of newbie. I found this VN after some Facebook page posted an image with Emi on the ground and one of the dialogue options were "What are thooooose? ". It made me chuckle, but also curious. I checked the comments to find out what it was about and all I could see was people praising the game left right and center. This piqued my interest and the next thing I know, I was downloading it. I'm here now, 3 days and 2 storylines into it and I'm at the point where I'm more than satisfied (and a bit overwhelmed), but I STILL want more of it. My first ending was the good one with Emi. That, in itself, was an incredible experience. Such a well written character with so much depth, I found myself side-by-side with Hisao on his rollercoaster of emotions. My next story led me to my favourite character thus far, probably the most interesting of them all (at a glance anyway) - Rin. The frustrating shrugs and laconic, nonchalant responses made the the entire experience, and the ending, just that much more tasteful. It sort of felt like the events of this story took part in a parallel universe, because Emi's arc was still fresh in my mind. Seeing her as a friend was unsettling at first, but pursuing Rin fixed that. I have spent the last half hour searching for other such experiences but something tells me anything I try won't give me the exact same feeling I am experiencing right now, which is precisely what I want more of.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION Texas Gas Transmission Corporation Docket No.
RP01-278-002 NOTICE OF COMPLIANCE FILING (October 22, 2001) Take notice that on October 17, 2001, Texas Gas Transmission Corporation (Texas Gas) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No.
1, the following tariff sheets to become effective October 1, 2001: Primary Third Revised Sheet No.
181 Third Revised Sheet No.
182 Third Revised Sheet No.
183 Sheet No.
184 (reserved) Second Revised Sheet No.
185 Alternate Alternate Third Revised Sheet No.
181 Alternate Third Revised Sheet No.
182 Alternate Third Revised Sheet No.
183 Texas Gas states that this filing is being submitted in compliance with the Commission's Order issued on September 19, 2001 in the above-referenced docket.
As directed, the tariff sheets removed the daily high/low index price for cash-out.
In response, Texas Gas proposes to establish a cash-out price based on a weekly high/low index price determined from the weeks within the applicable month, plus the first week of the following month.
The primary and alternate sheets require in-kind make-up of imbalances up to 2% and use the same index price for imbalances above 5%.
However, the primary sheets also propose to eliminate cash-out for all imbalances up to 5% by also requiring a mandatory in-kind make-up level from 2% to 5% and by eliminating any use of the 100% price index for this tier of imbalance.
Texas Gas states that copies of the revised tariff sheets are being mailed to Texas Gas's jurisdictional customers and interested state commissions.

So I was adding a video card and new power supply to my old setup (yes its a premade, I know, I know) and realized that my case was too cramped, so I "moved that shit" to a larger case. However, I seem to have run into a problem. I actually do not exactly know where the motherboard hookups (HDD light, reset switch, power switch, "SPEAKER"). I'm currently using the motherboard that comes default with the P7-1132 (model is AAHD3-HB). Does anyone have any advice for this, or maybe an online manual (I've looked for an online manual. The physical manual is no longer with me). Thanks in advance r/TechSupport (or not, whichever is more applicable. )

John needed a new VHS player. He still enjoyed watching all the movies he had collected, plus he could still record some stuff on cable. Determined to find a VHS player and a few tapes, John walked into the neighborhood pawn shop.
It was easy enough to find a player, but the tapes were the hard part. Bringing the player to the counter, John asked if he had any blank tapes.
“I only have one left, friend.”
“How much for it plus the player?”
“For you, $20.” The clerk smiled.
That night, John set everything up to record a movie on cable. One of the Jurassic Park flicks. Everything worked like a charm.
The next day, he started watching the movie. Stupid thing missed an hour of the movie! He watched intently as the T-Rex was squishing the SUV into the mud. That is, until he felt drips of water on his head. He looked up and wasn’t sitting on his couch anymore. And the T-Rex turned its’ head towards him.
He was standing in the pouring rain on Isla Nublar. The T-Rex roared at John. John fumbled with the remote and stopped it. He sat on his couch, amazed.
__________________________
Critique appreciated. I thought the word count was originally 300 so I had to cut out some stuff, but essentially whenever you record over the blank tape, you get put into whatever was recorded. For John, it was the middle of Jurassic Park.

[email protected] writes to the NYISO_TECH_EXCHANGE Discussion List: Dear Market Participants: On the November 1999 & December 1999 Transmission Customer Monthly Statements many customers have noted under the "Energy Settlement" section for "Forward Energy" a change in MW-Hrs with no associated change in dollar amounts.
This is because of a correction in the sign convention for the MW-Hrs related to external generation transactions (transactions from a proxy bus to the NYISO reference bus).
For all other types of transactions the NYISO charges customers the appropriate TUC or LBMP based on the MWs that flowed, but for external generation transactions, customers receive payments from the NYISO, and therefore these types of transactions have an opposite sign convention.
The dollars associated with the external generation transactions have always had the proper sign convention, but the MW-Hrs have not.
On 01/17/2000 this sign convention was corrected for all billing months going forward resulting in the correct MW-Hr values being reported from February 2000 to date.
However, November 1999 - January 2000 did not have the proper MW-Hrs reported on the Transmission Customer Monthly Statements.
With the latest settlement adjustments posted the MW-Hrs are being corrected with the proper sign convention.
Transmission Customers will see similar changes in their forward energy MW-Hrs for January 2000's settlement adjustment.

I disagree with much of what Andrew said. You must evaluate the following:
Your current level of intensity related to strength trainingYour current level of frequency of training sessionsYour current level of duration of each training sessionYour current level of rest/recovery, which is at least as important as the exercise stimulus itself
Most of the time, trainees spend way too much time in the gym, doing way too many sets, for way too many days during the week. This is at the expense of rest/recovery, which needs to be far greater than most people understand.
Growth happens at home, not during exercise stimulus. Once the stimulus for growth is achieved, rest for days. This allows the biochemical reactions associated with recovery and then growth (in that order) to complete. Many trainees resort to using exogenous hormones to speed recovery and growth but they risk health dramatically. The natural trainee needs intense brief stimulus followed by extended rest/recovery in order to grow. Along with that, fuel the furnace with balances meals. If you eat at a deficit, your brain will interpret that as a lack of resources and will not allow the risk of adding mass that requires additional daily energy to maintain.
Good luck!

Hey guys I have a DLP Mitsubishi 65' TV thats only about 3 years old. I've kept it in great condition and nothing has ever damaged it (ie i've never dropped it on its side, spilled water or stuff like that). Lately the picture has become very dim on the screen, and its not a brightness problem as i've checked the settings and things like that. I was just hoping some out there who knows more about new TVs than i do will tell me perhaps what could be wrong with it, and maybe what i could do to fix it, or if I'm going to have to get a new one completely. Thanks for any replies and help!

Ken and Greg I am part of the Enron Tax Department, assigned currently to Enron Global Assets, previously to Enron India.
Your comment regarding the very bad investments Enron made in international assets is absolutely true.
Perhaps the assets themselves are not all that bad, Enron just over-paid, over-built or over-leveraged.
In some cases, I suspect we did all three!
But that's not the point of this message.
When you make statements like you did in yesterday's Investor conference call it erodes EGA's ability to sell those assets (who wants to buy a very bad investment ?)
and chokes the spirit of the employees who have remained loyal to Enron and continue to support the needs of EGA.
The 100 or so members in the EGA support group did not make the bad decisions.
Those were made by former and current executives, RAC, Enron's Board of Directors, and others who were well-qualified to make such decisions.
I cannot begin to tell you how hard Tax, Legal, Accounting, PR, etc.
worked to make the best of what often-times looked to us to be a stupid if not bad investment.
Many of those who remain have devoted several years to Enron's international experiment.
We've given up dinner with our families, weekend soccer games and campouts, in many cases we have even sacrificed our good health.
I suspect we will continue to make those sacrifices in order to close asset sales and efficiently return to Enron the remaining value.
Please, when you proclaim to the World the very bad investments Enron made, take some time to remind those of us who are left to unwind these investments that Enron is fortunate to have some very bright and dedicated employees diligently working to contain the damage already done.
Sincerely,
|

I am very happy that neither Obama, Bush 43, Clinton, Bush 41, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy or Eisenhower did what President Trump is now doing.
President Trump thinks he’s brokering peace with a good guy. He thinks previous Presidents have failed to connect with the various generations of Kims and that he, and he alone, has made some sort of diplomatic breakthrough.
His ignorance is astounding. The various Kims have been desperate to be seen as peers to superpowers. They have craved, for decades, to be taken seriously, not ignored as the hideous failed state of oppression and human suffering they are. Every President since Eisenhower had the option of meeting face to face with a Kim, but deliberately avoided doing so, as it would strengthen the grip of these oppressors on their own people.
But worse yet, Donald Trump is being played like a fiddle. Kim’s handlers have figured out (not that it’s very hard) that one simply has to pander to Trump’s ego and he thinks they’re great. He lets his guard down and will likely agree to foolish things that are in no one’s interests except the DPRK’s.
This is what happened in Singapore - President Trump agreed to halt joint military exercises with South Korea, a historically necessary event to ensure readiness in the event of an attack by North Korea. It also serves a grand symbolic function - to warn North Korea that any invasion would be met with the full force of American military might.
In exchange for this American concession, Kim gave nothing - only vague promises of peace and more ego kibbles for President Narcissist.
Now the fear is that President Willfully-Ignorant will make further concessions - recognition of the end of the Korean War, recognition of the DPRK as the legitimate government of the oppressed millions in North Korea, further reductions in the US military presence, in exchange for, again nothing from DPRK. No list of locations of nuclear facilities, no discussion of inspections that the DPRK is halting its nuclear program, only a series of calculated bromance love letters.
This President is a very dangerous idiot, whose blatant naivete could endanger everyone on the Korean penninsula and by extension, the world.

If more people want to bet that a company will do well in the future than those who think that it will do bad the price rises. If more people think that a company will do bad in the future than think it will do good the price will fall.

Hoff wrote a nice post about some noise being generated about "The Cloud" being more secure than running things at home. He briefly pointed to one reason, the cloud is not just SaaS. Remember there are several different offers from different layers (from applications to virtualized OS environments) considered as "The Cloud", so you'll have to "fill the security blank" when buying those lower layer services. If you are running your application, written by your developers, using some of your middleware components, on the cloud, you still need to deal with the security aspects of them, as your provider is taking care of the layers he is responsible for only. So, if there isn't a SaaS offering that exactly matches your application needs, you'll still need to worry about secure development if you decide to build it yourself or about patch management, secure configuration and all the other fun stuff if you buy it off-the-shelf and run it in the cloud. Same problems here.Even when you are relying mostly on SaaS, it may have a impact on your security posture. If you are a small or medium enterprise, for example, you will automatically get your threat level increased (and a lot) by using things like Salesforce. All that attention that you would not drawn by your organization business will be drawn by your fellow cloud neighbours. The question is (and I always come back to risk assessment methodologies!), how can we measure these things to compare the risk of those two options? Where (and how) can we get reliable and compatible data on threat level and exposure?
Still on "security as a cost"

Honestly, I wanna contradict you. I am tired of the attitude pandering to people who are incompetent. If someone is new, respect them, if someone is learning, respect them, if someone is lagging, respect them! But for god's sake give no love to the idiots who pull wipe after wipe and still learn nothing. The people who think they are hot stuff and know exactly what to do. Lastly, it's not elitist to say "look up a guide", it's not elitist to say "Can we get this done in less than 2 hours", and it's not elitist to say "no beginners. ". There is a good reason the average PUG intelligence is dwindling, and it's because anyone with half an interest in improvement is finding a static group. Sorry to rant, but the whole "Be nice to beginners" thing is slowly grinding closer to "tolerate trolling".

Karen, I have reviewed the redline document that Debra Perlingiere spent time on.
It is not a finished product and needs a great deal of work.
I will continue to work on it.
Apparently the redlining must have been confusing and I need to start fresh.
I will try to get the redline to you as soon as possible.
If we need to put something in place before the contract is executed, maybe we can document the transaction under the existing GISB contract currently in place between the parties and agree that the transaction will be rolled up under the new master once the Master is executed.

Wormholes do not really allow you to move faster than the speed of light locally, but they do provide a shortcut through space. It's like if there was a marathon race that was in a U-shape like this:
---------------- (start)
|
---------------- (end)
If you could take a short cut like this:
-------------- -- (start)
| | <- shortcut
-------------- -- (end)
then you could get from start to end very quickly, but never travel faster than your maximum speed relative to the path you took. GR allows spacetime to be warped, so say alpha centauri and the Earth which are 4.3 light years away could be connected by a wormhole that's only .5 light years long. A good pop sci reference on this is Kip Thorne's black holes and time warps. Note that current physics theories do not believe that macroscopic worm holes could ever be stable.

BME workers attended fall protection training performed by Capital Safety and hosted by the Korte Company.
The training provided valuable information and a demonstration of how fall protection equipment is to be chosen, worn, and maintained properly. The training was hosted by the Korte Company at NAS Whidbey Island, where Korte and BME are working on two large construction projects for the Navy. The United States Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration holds yearly safety stand-downs with emphasis on certain safety areas. As electricians, BME workers have a significant amount of work to do from manlifts installing conduit, wiring, and light fixtures. Fall protection training and safety is important to BME.

The key to very complex programs is segmentation. What this means is that the project is broken up into well defined parts that work together, and these parts are written by different groups. It is very similar to the basic programming you are familiar with from there, but they know a lot more. Writing a whole game seems very daunting, but writing a program that handles the location of all the players is relatively easy, you just need to let everybody else know how it works, how they can use it and communicate with it and what it does. Then somebody can use that program to write the program that handles walking, and so on. In fact, if they both agree on how to communicate between each other and what they should do before hand, they can write them at the same time.

Angular: The foundation of Angular is TypeScript, a Microsoft-developed and maintained programming language. Due to the fact that TypeScript is a syntactical superset of JavaScript, it has all of JavaScript's features as well as a few more. The framework is primarily used to create dynamic, fully-functional web apps with cutting-edge designs.
AngularJS: In 2010, Google released [LINKED_TEXT: AngularJS] [URL: https://www.zenesys.com/angularjs-development-company-in-usa] with the primary goal of enabling the development of single-page applications. The AngularJS framework quickly established a market for itself, particularly in front-end development. The newest version of AngularJS, due out in April 2022, is AngularJS 1.8.3. It's interesting to note that AngularJS was the first version of Angular to be recorded; this explains why AngularJS is sometimes referred to as Angular, further adding to the confusion.
The following points distinguish Angular from Angular JS:
The years 2009 and 2014 saw the development of Angular JS and Angular, respectively.While AngularJS is based on JavaScript, Angular is built on TypeScript.While AngularJS employs a set of directives, Angular uses standard directives.AngularJS uses the MVC framework, whereas Angular adheres to a component-based architecture.While AngularJS makes use of scopes and controllers, Angular follows the component hierarchy.Unlike AngularJS, which only supports one-way data binding, Angular allows both one-way and two-way data binding.In contrast to AngularJS, which lacks a command-line interface, Angular comes with one.AngularJS lacks the same mobile support as Angular, which is provided by Ionic and NativeScript.

Nothing. We are the science fiction future people couldn’t imagine in their wildest dreams.
We’ve utterly annihilated abject poverty and starvation. More people die of too much food today than from hunger.Deaths from war have dropped dramatically every decade. The old empires have been destroyed. Most of humanity lives under democracy.The planet is connected by a network of computers.We send robots to other worlds.
The only reason you don’t know that or believe it is recency bias and the whining crybabies who are so spoiled that they’re left bitching about memes and micro aggressions.
Your grandparents lived under an oppressive empire, were scheduled for industrial extermination or had to fight for survival in some other way. They died of starvation, cholera, plague, polio, bacterial infections or typhoid. They worked insane hours with no benefits. 99% of our ancestors lived in horrible poverty. Today, people whine about not having the right brand of clothing.
It turns out that we have an answer about what would happen if we made paradise: we are incapable of living in any utopia. Agent Smith was right all along! We are engineered for misery and to fight existential battles. In their absence, we will invent them on the fine print of existence where none exist at all. We quibble over gender pronouns and safe spaces as if Nazis were lining us up for annihilation.

This recipe is from the lovely Pam Corbin who we had the pleasure of meeting to sign my preserves book at River Cottage. I’ve used this one (minus the walnuts) a few times as I’ve been lucky to be given plums and apples in the Autumn so it’s practically free!
Wash the plums, halve and stone then cook gently with orange juice until tender about 15 minutes. Push through a sieve – should make about 700 ml purée.
Put the purée into a large bowl and add all the other ingredients, except the brandy.
Mix thoroughly, then cover and leave for 12 hours.
Preheat the oven to 130 C/gas mark 1/2.
Put the mincemeat in a large baking dish and bake uncovered for 2 hours.
Seal and store in a dry, dark, cool place until Christmas and use within 12 months.

Well handled finances ensures both parties are satisfied with the bill.
You will need to reconcile your final account with the builder. Any additional entries should be able to be reconciled back to signed variations.
If there are not sufficient funds left in your construction loan account, then you must arrange to pay your builder the shortfall before you take possession. So give yourself a week before handover to review the final invoice, and don’t allow this to be left to the last minute!
With NewBuild, the solution is to use some of your contingency reserve funds as a bank retention so your builder can be paid, and you can move in on time. But you will still need to meet the loan conditions once you move in before you can fix your interest rates.
You need to be sure that by taking possession your builder does not negate their responsibility of completing any outstanding items and providing a Code of Compliance Certificate. Sometimes it’s hard to get your builder back out once they are paid, so this is where a really good relationship with your builder is helpful.
There is often a lot of uncertainty around when home owners can take possession of their new home.
Learn how to minimize conflicts with your builder in regards to final payment.

It is not possible with 103 folds but yes with 104 folds it is possible
Let me do a quick calculation..
So, first let's revise these:
1km = 1000000mmObservable Universe = 98 billion light years = 9.2708km × 10^23Regular piece of paper = 0.05mm
Now..
If we fold a paper 104 times, its thickness would be 0.05mm × 2^104.
Which is equal to..
0.05mm × 2^104 = 101412042018258352119736256300.80mm
Which when we convert to km..
= 101412042018258352119736.25630080km
Now the size of observable Universe is equal to..
9.2708km × 10^23
= 927080000000000000000000km
So you can just count the number of digits and conclude that if we fold a paper 104 times, it will be larger and thicker than the observable Universe.

Huginn_Muninn is correct. The split does not double the value of the stock. However...
Splits happen to large companies with really high price stocks. Like H_M said, the problem is that people with small amounts to invest can't afford a $1000 stock. So, they split it, maybe two ways to $500, but even that is high, so maybe 5 ways to $200. Now, everyone who had the stock before has 5 times as many shares. But...
Those small investors are now in business. They can afford a $200 stock, so they buy it, since it's from a company they wanted to invest in before. This raises demand, and that $200 price quickly goes up. In some cases, if there was enough demand, it can go all the way back up to that $1000 mark.
That's rare in a 5 way split, but more common in a 2 way split. In that case, the value does double quickly, but it's not just the split that does it. It happens because the demand for the stock was high enough to support the new value, and the high stock price was artificially restraining demand.

All rounder Chris Woakes put England firmly in charge after smashing his maiden Test century in just 129 balls against India.
Woakes (120 not out) and Jonny Bairstow (93) rescued England from a precarious 131-5 with a partnership of 189 for the 6th wicket that enabled England to build a formidable 250 run lead before bad light stopped play.
Already 1-0 down in the series, India will be hoping for more rain to save them from defeat.
England 357 for 6 (Woakes 120*, Bairstow 93, Shami 3-74) lead India 107 by 250 runs.

listening about prepositions in the sixth grade. I wasn't even taught that in public school. Most of my peers complain they don't know grammar, when really they don't know the vocabulary of it. I could care less about the vocabulary of grammar. English is already pretty easy, no need to dull it up with terms for how we speak it. Unless you're going to become a linguist or complex english prof who needs to know that, otherwise language is forever changing in how we speak it and there is no need to teach outdated mechanics, by the time the students know the terms they will already know that dialects and tones of writers differs a ton that any system trying to unify english is only going to muck it up. Not to mention what you read influences what you write.

True. The software is still in relative infancy. I just wish the developers had taken the time to "start from scratch", so to speak, in a way that achieved efficiency over eye candy.
As soon as I bought my Touch Pro 2, I installed a custom ROM optimized for speed and lightweight-ness, and turned off all the TouchFlo eye candy. It helps, but the underling OS is so creaky that the difference is not tremendous.
Ha! Funny to think that Doom could run on such a primitive system. At least my phone can run that.

As someone who has been in an abusive relationship, I can tell you that there are many various reasons why people don’t leave those relationships. One of them is that the abuser is very good at being manipulative. He or she can be utterly horrible one day and then extremely apologetic the next. They’ll tell the abused that they’re sorry, they love them, and they’ll never do it again. They may even act decently to the abused for days or weeks. It sucks the abused person in to believing that yes, this time, the abused really is going to change for the better. It’s the circle of abuse. The abuser then will always start back up abusing the other person. It’s just a matter of time. However, the abused person has a self-esteem so low by this point that they can’t see clearly what is going on.
Financially for many abused people, it’s almost impossible to leave or that’s how they feel. My abuser had me so cut off from everyone that I was embarrassed to actually ask anyone for help. I still had family that I could turn to, but when you find yourself in that position, it’s hard to realize that your family is still your family no matter what. Even if I hadn’t had family, there are always resources to help abused people. I found that out once I did file an order of protection against my ex. The number of resources that were offered to me was astounding. I was lucky that I didn’t need all of them, but so many abused people never get to the point of being able to use any.
Which brings me to my last point. That order of protection doesn’t give you a coat of armor. It is only as good as the abuser wants to make it, and the abused will make it. A lot of abusers are still going to come around no matter whether there’s an order of protection or not. If they’re intent on causing harm to the abused, they will do it. Having said that, some abused people will often ask their abusers to come back even after filing an order of protection. They’re so caught up in that circle of abuse that they almost have to be back in it.
Breaking the circle of abuse is very difficult. It takes building up of self esteem, will power, sometimes therapy and help getting away. I had my children to worry about. They gave me the impetus to get away. The rest came after that.

Generally when minorities like Black Americans say "We are proud to be black" it is more of a reactionary thing more along the lines of "We are proud to black and there is nothing wrong with being black ". That last bolded part is important and is the reasoning why minorities can say things like "I am proud to be Black (or Asian or Latino, etc)" while Whites cannot. It's because generally in the past Blacks in particular (other races to) were treated badly and so these "Proud to be X race" movements are an attempt to raise themselves above the discrimination and as an affirmation that is nothing wrong with being the way I am (I'm not saying do or don't agree with this reasoning I am just saying that is the reasoning behind this thinking). Meanwhile the "I'm proud to be White" movement is generally associated with the white supremacy movement (with crossover from Neo-Nazis and skinheads). Like /u/Ryuudou mentioned groups like the KKK use this reasoning to mask their true agenda of bigotry against other racial groups. Basically they will use the reasoning "Why can't whites feel proud about their race" as a way to get people to buy into what they are believing. This is a great example of what I am trying to say, it's a Vice documentary about the White Student Union a group trying to do you you stated (i. e. White Pride). (

Recruiters are terrible to deal with. The one's I've dealt with anyway. Setting aside the harrassment issues (not sexual, just general haranging) they've lied to me so much to convince me to attend an interview. The last one told me about an opportunity for Magento Developer, which sounded good so I decided to go, when I got to the interview, they said, "So you know what job you're interviewing for? " and jokingly I said "No, I just saw your ad in the window and thought I'd pop in", Fortunately, this worked out in my favour as they missed the joke and said "ok, well it's a Head of Magento Team, where you'll be managing the team, all the projects, working with the sales team to deliver quotes and coming up with ideas for new and improvements for Magento modules". As much as I'd love to do that now, at the time I had no prior experience of leadership or project management and at the time I still wanted to stick to day-to-day development work. The recruiter had completely altered the job description to make it fit the skills on my CV (resume). I told the interviewer that I wasn't here for the position, but sounded interesting so I'd rather carry on the interview. I even got the callback but at the time I decided that I'd carry on day-to-day development.

If you took a second to read it further. .. This TIL isn't complete. ". .. Nazis tried to abolish the distinction between humans and animals, not by treating animals as persons, but by treating persons as animals. " Ya, people were treated like animals. Hunted down, killed for no reason, controlled, tortured, cruel experiments, etc. Hitler was one of the most inhumane people to ever exist. He may have had some ideas to treat animals better, but they weren't consistent with how he treated people(which were suppose to be treated the same as animals) Also, take a break from the Hitler circle jerk.

Travel is usually very expensive and the biggest expense is almost always the cost of accommodation. Hotels can range from fairly cheap to very expensive, but you generally get what you pay for. The best way to reduce the cost of a hotel is to compare hotel prices. This used to be a difficult and time-consuming task, but the Internet has changed all that.
Sites like Travelocity and Expedia are a great way to make a hotel deal because they can negotiate a lower price on your behalf. The problem is that there are now so many websites that offer this service that it is difficult to know which ones can offer you the best offer.
Previously you had to do a hotel price comparison between hotels, now you have to do the comparison between hotel booking websites. Fortunately, the Internet has come to the rescue again. Now there are websites where you can compare prices from all the online booking sites. This is the best way to ensure you get the best deal possible.
There is no secret to getting a good price on a hotel room, it's just a matter of comparing hotel prices. The Internet has greatly simplified this process, but it has also created new problems. There are now so many websites promising the best hotel rates that it can be difficult to choose just one. Fortunately, several new websites have appeared where you can compare prices across all the online booking sites and see who really has the best prices.

A graviton is not necessary for a Theory of Everything and there is no direct evidence that gravitons exist. There are some interesting experiments dealing with GR on small scales, but they are rather difficult to perform and have thus far not yielded any conclusive results; for example, we are currently trying to determine the source of the very small acceleration aberration in the Pioneer 10 and 11 probes. I'm not sure why you think having two incompatible equations is "silly"; it's simply a side-effect of our ignorance. Reconciling them is the most important problem in modern theoretical physics. The higgs and the graviton cannot be combined in the fashion you mention unless you are able to re-write the standard model in a way that makes sense and which is at least as successful as the current one at making predictions. Anything is possible I suppose but replacing the standard model with another mathematical system has proven extremely difficult.
Have a look at this paper which I seem to be pointing to a lot these days: http://arxiv.org/abs/0907.4238

That has absolutely nothing to do with his phrasing of the question or the context in which I was "answering it". He was using the word as something akin to newton's "every reaction has an equal an opposite reaction". My question was rhetorical. I am aware of the principle of the conservation of energy and it does not work in the way he implied (based on what seemed to be his definition of equilibrium).

As I remember nothing much of the empire was taught. For that time period, UK Victorian life and american west were the main focus. No idea why it was absent, though to be fair there is quite a large amount of world history and seeing as there are not many places we English have not been at war with, occupied or colonised there are many seemingly relevant events to study in a limited time.

There are several good cars available in India that are priced under 10 lakhs. The best car for you will depend on your specific needs and preferences. Here are a few options you can consider:
Maruti Suzuki Swift - It is a popular hatchback car that offers a good balance of performance, fuel efficiency, and affordability.Hyundai Grand i10 Nios - This is another popular hatchback car that comes with a spacious cabin, good ride quality, and a refined engine.Tata Tiago - The Tiago is a value-for-money car that offers a comfortable ride, good fuel efficiency, and a feature-packed interior.Kia Sonet - This is a sub-compact SUV that offers a premium look and feel, good performance, and a feature-packed cabin.Renault Kwid - The Kwid is a budget-friendly hatchback car that offers a spacious cabin, good ground clearance, and a frugal engine.
These are just a few of the many options available in the Indian market. I would recommend that you test drive a few cars and compare them based on your requirements before making a final decision.

Yes, looking at OLED displays have a bad impact on our eyes and cause headache. If this is the same case for you then you are one of those few people who face this.
Eye strain and headache are problems reported by people while using an OLED display and the reason for this lies in the working of OLED, that is called as flickering.
How OLED works?
In short, OLEDs differ from LCDs with the way they control the brightness and some other things like color saturation, back panel…etc. But here the key point is brightness.
OLEDs control brightness of the display using PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), which results in flickering. In short, PWM is a digital signal whose width changes which simulates the Analog signal - simulating an Analog signal using digital signal.
(If you are an ECE student then you would get it and don’t worry if you didn’t)
Below image gets it well -
As you can see, at high brightness flickering doesn’t occur.
What causes strain?
At low brightness, display is ON for a certain time and OFF for a certain time (in low brightness this time is high).
That results in eye strain or headache, because while it is ON the photons from the light hits our eye after a bit longer OFF time.
Why OLED causes strain?
Sensitivity - Your eyes could be sensitive enough to pick these pulses although your brain may not notice it (few people are able to see flickering as well).Ambient light - If you are using smartphone under low lighting conditions then you may face these problems because in dark conditions our eye pupil open wider allowing light (pulses) to hit retina.Blue light can be another issue which is common for any display except [LINKED_TEXT: E-ink displays] [URL: https://www.quora.com/What-will-be-the-future-of-E-Ink-display-smartphones/answer/Naga-Vara-Prasad-6?ch=10&share=50bb83d4&srid=Q7zy].
How to fix this?
luckily we have a method to fix OLED flickering issue - DC dimming.
DC dimming was a hyped feature in flagships some time before from now but it works similar to an LCD display. When this is enabled the current flow is restricted in pixels at the cost of picture quality.
To fix flickering issue one has to compromise in picture quality - saturation.
I have no idea about iPhones but in Android there will be an option in settings called DC dimming. By enabling that this issue can be solved.
Bonus:
If you want to see flickering, look at the OLED display from another smartphone’s camera.

Gather 'round children, it's story time. Basically it was more of a "cyber cheating" thing, but it still counts. Got her into gaming, after we were going out for a little over a year (December) she started a long-distance relationship with a guy she met on Live (through a game I bought her no less). I found out that it started after a few weeks and she swore it was done. I knew who he was because he was in the clan we were both part of (which she got me kicked out of). Time went on, I was still suspicious. Seeing her in video chats for long periods of time, ignoring me when I tried to text, call, etc. But she was pretty and has boobs and can lie really well. I went on like a dumbass still believing it, started playing WoW. At some point she deletes me from her facebook because I was "stalking" her. Not sure if you're able to stalk your girlfriend with anything short of a cell phone/email tap. But come November, 2 year anniversary and still suspicious. Got her Reach at some point, decided to check her play history. SURPRISE! I see the guy's gamertag all over her games. Hours of coop, plenty of other shit too. Her excuse? "Oh it's just his little brother being a dick and trying to piss you off". Dumbass me, still liking boobs, buys that shit. It takes about another month before I finally go "fuck that", check her facebook and see shit all about how much she looooves Tyler. My name is not Tyler. So then I just go drown my sorrows in WoW for the next 6 or 7 months. Now I hear she's run off to the other side of the country to be with that guy, they're married (and she's like 20 years old, left right when she graduated), she got fat, and he's likely cheating on her. I, however, have lost a bunch of weight and am kicking ass at college.

This oldie:
“I think my wife is cheating on me. I am a working musician and, as you would expect, travel a lot. I have been noticing strange things happening when I get home. Her mobile phone rings and she steps outside to answer it or she says, "I'll call you back later". When I ask her who called she gets evasive. Sometimes she goes out with friends but comes home late, getting dropped off around the corner and walking the rest of the way. I once picked up the extension while she was on the phone and she got very angry.
A buddy of mine plays guitar in a band. He told me that my wife and some guy have been to his gigs. He wanted to borrow my guitar amp. That's when I got the idea to find out for myself what was really happening. I said, "Sure, you can use my amp but I want to hide behind it at the gig and see if she comes into the venue, and who she comes in with". He agreed.
Saturday night came and I slipped behind my Marshall JCM800 half stack to get a good view. It wasn't long before I saw my wife come in with another guy. He bought them drinks and they sat down, conversing flirtatiously with each other. Then, after a while, he got up to go to the bathroom, and she started flirting with the bartender! She wrote something (I'm assuming her cell number) on a bar napkin and gave it to him. He gave her a wink and a nod. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My wife - the sweet little coquette!! At this point it was getting awfully warm for me. I was sweating. I could feel the heat coming off the back of the amp. It was at that moment, crouching down behind the amp, that I noticed that one of the tubes was not glowing as bright as the other three. Is this something I can fix myself or do I need to take it to a technician?”

Just thought we should maybe have a business and marketing forum. Why re-invent the wheel, if something has worked for you why not share it? One thing that we as pro photographers must strive for is being more professional.
"Ah, but.." you say "we are in competition witheach other"
If you look at it we are not really in competition with each other. Even 2 wedding photographers may not necessarily be in competition because they use different styles. They could help each other with marketing and business tips and even refer clients to each other if they knew the others' style was what the client needed.
Lets help each other build our businesses and make us more professional.
"Judge art not by what others say, but how it makes you feel"
Do you think I should change the title of "Selling Your Photography" to "Business and Marketing"?
You know, I visited this forum and even posted in a thread and idn't realise it was a business thread - thought it was about selling prints more than business, my mistake but could be made by more people. Might be a good idea to change it.
Just hope it doesn't turn out to be like dpreview's pro forum - so much off topic stuff and amateurs asking about the best P&S etc.. Splitting the topics up like you have will more or less take care of it.
I'll take your suggestion into consideration. Feel free to remind me.
Would it hurt to have a business forum and a Selling your prints forum?
There is a big need for a stock photography forum. Never took off in DP review. Could be a very big section. Lots of people are interested in this field.
Right now I have a Selling Your Photography forum and a Your Work on the Web forum. How do you see Selling Your Prints differntiated from the Your Work forum? Suggestions welcome. Same with Business forum. Guess what I'm asking for is a little more hand-holding concrete suggestions. My feeling is: if it's useful to members, I'll seriously consider it.
I think the titles confuse people.
I thought the your work forum was for getting your web site out there. Not so much getting your business out there.
Correct on the Work forum. How would Selling Your Prints be different from Selling Your Photography?
I'm getting tired, so forgive me if I'm dense at this point.
Done. Will be interested to learn more about this myself.

We already have lot of answers describing some of the wonderful climax scenes like Sadma , Udan, Kahani. Though, I am would like to add one more personal favorite;
This is one the climax of Gulzar’s classic Ijaazat [LINKED_TEXT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEdEnZNNqJw] [URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEdEnZNNqJw]
The whole story is in flashbacks and the climax with two protagonists sitting in a Railway waiting room. In the climax Rekha’s second husband (Shashi Kapoor) suddenly comes in to pick her and while she is having conversation with her ex-husband Naseer (accidently met). Too much of description will be a spoiler. One of the best movies by Gulzar.

Guys, this is my first cut on who I would want to be in this group.
I think this is an important exercise on a couple different fronts.
We need to bring more people "in" which should increase their accountability for ENA results overall, improve communication and teamwork and provide a platform to evaluate future leaders.
Trading Origination Country Managers Support Executive Belden Dietrich Milnthorp Colwell Frevert Presto Calger Yzaguirre Beck Delainey Arnold Duran Oxley Lavorato Neal Bowen Haedicke Shively Donahue Murray Allen Mrha Martin Redmond I would like to send out a note this week to communicate whatever we come up with in order to have the right folks available on Friday.
Look forward to your comments.

Firstly, the idea of relativistic mass is an archaic one, and should probably be forgotten. In modern physics when we talk about mass we only mean the rest mass of a particle. The only particles that travel at the speed of light have no rest mass. Their relativistic mass is merely given by the energy that particle carries and the relationship between mass and energy.
Particles with a rest mass, such as electrons, can never travel at the speed of light. Their velocity is bound by how much energy they are given. As before, the energy of these particles can be related to a relativistic mass, but that's only as large as the amount of energy given to the particle. To make and electron travel at the speed of light you would need to give it an infinite amount of energy.

Kiehl's Hydro-Plumping Re-Texturizing Serum Concentrate - 1.7 oz.
It takes more than chugging a glass of water to bring life back to dehydrated skin. Fortunately, this concentrated serum was created specifically to revive the driest of skin, reversing age-related dehydration that causes fine lines and rough texture. A potent blend of plant-based glycerin and Japanese shiso leaf extract plumps skin and softens fine lines so skin looks healthy, hydrated, and restored.
Great texture! Went on and soaked in like gel-water and kept my face hydrated and smooth all day. Loved it, will definitely purchase.
I really like this brand and am happy to use this serum as it plumps the skin. My lines seems smoother.
Loved the soft feel on my usually very dry, sensitive skin. I received a sample size in one of my Birchbox purchases, not really large enough to see if my skin would reject it. The price point is too high for me.
I wish it didn’t have silicones in it - I know that’s what makes my skin so smooth but it’s not great for my acne-prone complexion. Maybe once my skin clears up this’ll be a staple product.
This serum is amazing! I have applied this product to my face every morning for the past two months, and my skin has never looked better.
I always use a serum under my moisturizer. I Love this stuff! Feels sooooo good on my skin. I use it on my face, neck, and chest area. Seriously considering buying the full sized, which I rarely do after sampling a product. This one really impressed me!
I love Kiehl's products, but this is not relevant to me. I do not have wrinkles. I have used this to help moisturize and it's okay. I am in different about this product.

Here's a somewhat oversimplified version + history of the internet.
Back in "the day", large organizations, like Universities and the US Military, needed a way to communicate raw data quickly over long distances. They built electronic connections between large hubs, and used computers to send the info.
Gradually, these connections became "wider", meaning they could pass more data along, and do it quicker. At the same time, smaller organizations and even individual people were wanting to connect to these resources. Since a single university couldn't afford to build a data line out to every business or person that wanted this new "internet", other companies offered to do this, and charge for access to their lines. Thus, Internet Service Providers were born.
An ISP essentially is a large routing company that controls your connection. When you make a request for a web page, it travels down your data line to the ISP's nearest data center. If it can't find the page you want, it routes your request to another data center, usually passing through one of the large original hubs (called "backbones") and other ISPs, until it finds the computer containing the website you asked for.
Then, that computer sends the information you requested, passing through the various data centers until it gets to your ISP, who sends it down their data lines to your computer.
Again, that's grossly oversimplified, but the general idea is there.
EDIT: Dullbet may have done a better job than me ;) Hope you find this version helpful.

The empirical data on this is still very unclear, for reasons that are somewhat intuitive: undocumented immigrants are a population on which we do not have a lot of official data. Certain groups (namely immigrants' rights advocates, which includes me) may tend to overreport benefits and underreport burdens; while opponents may tend to do the opposite.
Existing studies conflict with one another. For instance, some studies say that undocumented immigrants pay more in taxes than what they use in public services (http://www.good.is/post/undocumented-immigrants-pay-more-in-taxes-than-they-use-in-services/), and that undocumented immigrants pay more in taxes than even some U.S. corporations (http://www.alan.com/2011/04/23/illegal-immigrants-pay-more-taxes-than-many-top-u-s-corporations/). Particularly compelling are reports by government agencies that suggest that between 50 and 75% of undocumented immigrants pay federal, state, and local taxes. (See for example: http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/87xx/doc8711/12-6-Immigration.pdf (p. 6)).
Other studies suggest that undocumented immigrants result in a net deficit in the federal budget, such as this report by the Center for Immigration Studies: http://cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html
I hasten to emphasize that tax payment, use of public services, and budgetary impact are not the only measures in determining whether undocumented immigrants are a "net benefit/burden" to the U.S. I have assumed above that we are talking about benefits and burdens to the U.S. economy--including not just the value of our national fisc, but also potential for wealth creation and so forth. As such, any of the particular markers of "benefit/burden" I've discussed above will constitute only an incomplete picture.
**tl;dr - Based on what I know, there is nothing close to a consensus on whether the answer to your question is yes or no.**
--
Also: I apparently assumed that the five-year-old was pretty precocious, but then again he or she asked me a pretty sophisticated question. ELIF is so hard.
