'Apprentice' Contestant Says Trump Sexually Assaulted Her
10/14/2016 6:33PM
Summer Zervos, who appeared on Donald Trump's "The Apprentice," said on Friday that the GOP nominee sexually forced himself on her in 2007. Trump denied the allegations.

While he was said he was shocked that there no forward market in foreign exchange in Kenya, there are forward markets for currencies, and for some commodities like flowers and fuel, which are done in private arrangements with partners, buyers, and customers, but mainly through large banks. They are not exchangeable, and there is no capital markets mechanism now for this.
The most memorable one was Kenya Airways fuel hedging which they have employed for a number of years during rising fuel prices, but which resulted in a loss of Kshs 5.6 billion (~72 million) in 2009 (more)
With time there could be a few more to deal with gaps such as the current situation where farmers are hoarding maize harvests to draw the government out into paying more for the crop.

Earlier results showed that tax collection is not profitable, but neither is dealing with the strong shilling.
The Central Bank of Kenya year ended June 2007 shows the bank recorded a 386 million shillings loss down from a 4.5 billion profit in 2006. This was largely due to a forex loss of lost 9.8 billion shillings as the shilling remained strong against the US dollar, Euro and Sterling pound.
How much currency is circulating in Kenya? 90 billion shillings ($1.34 billion), in currency up from 76 billion in June 2006.

Using Worm Castings | Planet Natural
The mainstream press is catching up with what we organic gardeners already know. This article in The New York Times details new research showing that using worm castings helps plants "grow with more vigor, [making] them more resistant to disease and insects, than those grown with other types of composts and fertilizers." One of the big reason for this is one we've long championed: microbes. | 2022/05/22 22:34:18 | https://www.planetnatural.com/worm-castings/ | mC4 | en |
Economics of stealing uninitialized Lisk accounts – Simon Warta – Medium | Bitcoins & Altcoins
Home Altcoins Lisk Economics of stealing uninitialized Lisk accounts – Simon Warta – Medium
The primary identifier of an account on the Lisk blockchain is an address. The format of a Lisk address is "<unsigned 64 bit integer>L". An account is called uninitialized when there is a record in the Lisk database but no outgoing transaction was sent from this account. This happens when an account only received tokens but never sent anything.
As long as an account is uninitialized, no public key for that account is known to the blockchain. Thus any public key that leads to the account's address can be used to spend the funds. A public key is 256 bit long but the address in Lisk is only 64 bit long, i.e. 2²⁵⁶/2⁶⁴ (a very big number) different pubkeys exist for every single address. However, those pubkeys are not so easy to find.
In January 2018, JP Aumasson posted the article Blockchains: How to Steal Millions in 2⁶⁴ Operations about this exact problem and I recommend you to read his excellent analysis to develop a deep understanding of the problem. While the qualitative findings back then remain unchanged, I will go into detail about the quantitative aspects. Since I was not convinced by the numbers of the original author and Lisk HQ, I did a lot of my own research. I contrast to the original arguments, I will not try to answer the question How long does an attack take? but the question How much does an attack cost?, or rephrased Is the attack profitable?.
To find out how quickly Lisk addresses can be generated, I created the tool lisk-vanity, which is yet another short address generator. The difference to other tools is that it utilizes GPUs, which do very well in brute forcing addresses due to their highly parallel processing capacity.
The following table shows the computational performance and renting cost for different GPUs I had access to. I'm leaving out the source of those offers to avoid unnecessary advertisement. Feel free to choose a GPU hoster of your choice and re-do the calculation.
Benchmarks and cost for Ed25519 keypair brute forcing
Given the GPUs are rented from big cloud providers, I'm going to assume it is possible to rent as much computational power as you want for about 1.9 * 10^-11 EUR per keypair.
To make this an interesting business, we need to attack multiple accounts at once, i.e. every address that was generated is looked up in a list of target addresses. My analysis show that about 80 % of that expected revenue is already reached when targeting the top 500 addresses at once. Adding more target addresses does not help very much. Since this is a game of orders of magnitude, we consider attacking the top 500 all we need. This can easily be implemented, as 500 addresses consume only 4 kilobytes of memory and searching in an ordered list of 500 elements is super fast.
Given the current balances of the top 500 uninitialized accounts, generating a single keypair and testing the resulting address gives us an average revenue of 2.3*10^-13 LSK.
Per keypair we brute force we gain 2.3*10^-13 LSK at a cost of 1.9*10^-11 EUR. This means we are break even at a rate of 83 EUR per LSK.
So as soon as the market price of LSK reaches 83 EUR, this is a profitable business. If you can alternatively reduce brute-forcing cost by a factor of ~ 83, this can be profitable at the current market price around 1 EUR.
A factor of 80 might sound good at first glance but you need to consider that this factor can be composed by different smaller factors. If you for example
find GPU that is twice as fast, and
find a provider that only costs half the money, and
improve the implementation of the key generation by 100 %, and
expect a Lisk price of 10 EUR,
you get an improvement by the factor 2*2*2*10 = 80.
As a user you need to make sure your accounts are initialized. This protects you and has the additional side effect that you contribute to keep stealing other uninitialized accounts unprofitable. | 2019/03/26 16:45:45 | https://bitcoinsaltcoins.com/economics-of-stealing-uninitialized-lisk-accounts-simon-warta-medium/ | mC4 | en |

The Ultimate Guide of Gifts for Bakers | The Speckled Palate
You are here: Resources » Gift Guide » The Ultimate Guide of Gifts for Bakers
published on August 21, 2019 · last updated on September 25, 2020
Searching for the BEST gift to buy your friend/family member/coworker who's o-b-s-e-s-s-e-d with baking? We've compiled a list to help you find the BEST gifts for bakers! Including cookbooks, classes, tools and more, you're sure to find one or more item your baker will adore.
We all know someone who's obsessed with baking. (Hey, y'all know me, so you know ONE person.)
While thinking about gift guides for this year and what could best help you shop for the people you love, I wanted to put together several pointed guides to help you purchase gifts for your people.
This guide? It's all for the person who looooooooooves to bake.
My friend, Valorie, scoured the Internet to find the best gifts for all the bakers out there and has written the ultimate gift guide for bakers.
Other Gift Guides You Might Like: Gifts for Cooks | Gifts for Coffee Lovers | Gifts for Bourbon Lovers | Grilling Gifts | Gifts for Wine Lovers | Cooking Gifts for Kids
Searching high and low for the BEST gift to buy your friend/family member/coworker who's o-b-s-e-s-s-e-d with baking all the things? We've compiled a list to help you find the most fitting and helpful gift that they'll use time and again in their baking adventures!
This is the kind of gift that will render your loved one speechless. Every baker wants a KitchenAid Stand Mixer, but they're so expensive! If you can't afford to give a $300 gift willy-nilly, I get it! But this is a great gift to go in on with friends. I love doing group gifts for people that are traditionally hard to buy for because it makes it easier for all of us!
Not only are these mixers really beautiful (they do come in so many colors!) but they're also really functional! They can do everything from a slow stir to a very fast whip, they have a flat beater, a dough hook, and a wire whip attachments. The capacity of that bowl is enormous—you can get enough dough in there for 9 dozen cookies at once. Nine dozen! That's 108 cookies!
Know someone who likes all the sweets? Then this slightly bigger multi-treat baker might be the perfect gift! Building on the Babycakes cake pop maker (shared below!), this one has interchangeable non-stick baking plates. In addition to cake pops, you can make cupcakes and donuts! It can cook 12 cake pops, seven donuts and seven cupcakes per round. It doesn't come with a cooling rack or paper sticks for your cake pops, but it does have a booklet of recipe suggestions and hints. The plates come out completely for easy cleaning.
You could definitely use this baker to bake way more treats than what it's listed for too! For instance, the donut side could prooooooobably make bagels, too. The cake ball side could be used to make hush puppies, bake Swedish meatballs, and any kind of biscuit bites—and those are just the savory ideas! Instead of cupcakes, throw some muffin mix in there. Try a little mini pie or tart.
Looking for a gift for a baker who always saves money instead of treating themselves to really cool stuff? Then this most decadent version of a cake stand might be something they've had their eye on but can't rationalize buying for themselves.
A rotating cake stand is a MUST in every baker's kitchen because it makes frosting a cake so much easier. This stand goes a step further and actually tilts so that you can more easily decorate the side of a cake with a decorating pen or icing funnel.
It's such a great idea! Makes it so much easier to see and it's much better for your wrists. In fact, this would probably be really helpful for any bakers with wrist pain or arthritis! But really, it would make every baker's life a little easier.
42-Piece Cake Decorating Supplies
This cake decorating set is THOROUGH. It comes with thirty different icing tips and a carrying case to keep them all in so they don't get lost! There are two pastry bags and two couplers to make switching tips on and off easier. It also has three different icing smoothers, two flower nails and a flower lifter so you can make flowers for all your cakes, cupcakes, and cookies. My favorite detail is the decorating pen, which can be used to write on your desserts with jelly, icing, chocolate sauce or anything else!
Best of all? Since all the parts are silicon and stainless steel, everything is reusable and machine washable. Just throw it in the wash when you're done. Whoever you gift this to will thank you.
Tartine Bread (Artisan Bread Cookbook)
This cookbook is basically a bread bible. It's written by Chad Robertson, one of the the owners of the famous Tartine Bakery in San Francisco. He's considered by many to be one of the best bakers in the United States. Every day, his legendary loaves are drawn from the ovens at Tartine, and they're sold out within an hour.
Robertson developed his recipes over nearly two decades of apprenticeship with some of the best artisan bakers in France and the United States. Now, he's passing on that knowledge in this beautiful book. With hundreds of step-by-step photo sets and detailed instructions, your recipient might just feel like they're standing in Robertson's kitchen and learning with him.
Tartine Bread is a great gift for anyone that is getting started with baking their own bread at home. Bread is the foundation of nearly every meal, right?
Help Them Take a Class!
Photo Credit: www.thegreatcourses.com
Wouldn't it be great if we could all get a famous baker in our kitchen to show us how they make the best breads and desserts in the world? Yes! But, that's not always possible. And for some, learning from a book just isn't enough. So if you've got someone that wants to get into baking but wants to learn from someone, send them a class!
You can go the online route and gift your loved one a course from The Great Courses, like Baking Pastries & Desserts with Chef Stephen L. Durfee. Or if they're already a little more advanced, gift them Udemy's Become a Great Baker series, where they can learn to make really intricate desserts and sophisticated decorations just like the pros.
If they don't like to learn online, I bet your local college offers some baking and culinary courses you could help them enroll in. Either way, they're sure to learn a ton and you'll get to reap the delicious rewards.
Watson and Webb Cake Airbrush Kit
Every baker worth his or her stuff has seen at least one baking competition where the amazing confectioners use an airbrush kit to stencil designs or create realistic leaves on their cakes. Think it's prohibitively expensive to get one? Well, it doesn't have to be!
This Watson and Webb cake decorating kit can be packed up and taken anywhere. It has three-speed compressor settings, so you can work at your own speed and vary how much color goes where. It has a stay-clean needle to make sure the airbrush doesn't get clogged. That also makes precision work possible so you can easily do large jobs or tiny details. And unlike many other kits, this one comes with eight colors in the box!
I know, another book. But Modern Art Desserts is a great one for all the dessert bakers who want to up their decorative game. Pastry chef Caitlin Freeman, of Miette Bakery and Blue Bot-tle Coffee fame, has put together a guide for how to create beautiful pastries based on some of the most famous works of art.
The cover is based on Mondrian's signature geometric and primary color palettes. She has a fudge pop based on an Ellsworth Kelly sculpture, a cake inspired by Lichtenstein's famous Ben-day dots, and an ice cream float based on Cindy Sher-man's colorful photographs.
Almost every dessert in here looks like something they'd create on The Great British Bake Off or Cake Wars, but don't worry because there's step-by-step assembly guides for each piece. And if you mess up, hey—that's the fun of it! It's fun to try something new! And even if your cake doesn't look like Mondrian's, who cares? It's still cake!
Ever wondered how people make those perfect cake pops? This cake pop maker can help you make yours just as nice. It bakes twelve cake pops in just minutes. The maker has non-stick baking plates so that the cake comes right out and cleaning is easy. The set also comes with a cool stand especially made for cake pops, as well as some recipe ideas. Even the first 50 paper sticks come in the set!
This cake pop maker is a fun gift for new and younger bakers who want to try something trendy! Making cake pops looks so hard, but it doesn't have to be. Plus—it's so CUTE, am I right? Love that purple color. | 2022/07/07 10:39:26 | https://www.thespeckledpalate.com/the-ultimate-guide-of-gifts-for-bakers/ | mC4 | en |

Poppy October 2014
I recently used the gun metal iDye Poly using the stove top method and annoyingly managed to get quite a few splashes on my white microwave. Have only just noticed them so they have been there a few days. Ordinary household cleaners don't work so was going to use a strong bleach solution - but thought I'd better check first! Any suggestions?
yikes! The bleach might work, especially if you can make some sort of paste of it (a bit mixed with baking soda?). This can be a bit difficult as the plastic on the microwave is probably some sort of poly product.
I'd stay away from products like GoofOff as I believe that can damage the finish of the microwave.
wish I had the magic fix for you...
Thanks for your suggestion Annette - I may contact Panasonic to see what they have to say about the finish on the microwave etc ......
ah - that's a great idea. They may have just the right suggestion. Let them know the dye is a disperse dye for polyester.

I have a similar problem. Spatters of dark blue on our white stove and toaster oven (and a bit on the yellow-painted wall behind the stove). The stove is the worst problem. Has anybody had any success in removing dark IDye Poly/Nylon from surfaces?
Is your stove enamel or powder coated? In most cases if the surface isn't very scratched or isn't a poly type finish a gentle abrasive like BonAmi should do the job. Or you might try one of the brands of 'erasers' like the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers.
Thanks, Annette! I remember hearing about those "Mr. Clean Magic Erasers" but I've never used them and don't even really know what they are. We tried "Softscrub" and that did absolutely nothing. I think I may look at the "Magic Eraser" thing and see what that even is; if that doesn't seem wise or doesn't work, we'll try the Bon Ami, although I worry that Bon Ami might end up scratching the finish. Of course, right now it looks much worse than some scratches probably would, so . . . | 2018/09/23 19:42:37 | http://www.jacquardproducts.com/forums/discussion/comment/15150 | mC4 | en |

Home / 2009 / May / 07 / Dentistry grad committed to service
Michelle Lauwers hopes to team with family members to create a dental mission to Mexico – photo by Martin Dee
UBC Reports | Vol. 55 | No. 5 | May
For Michelle Lauwers dentistry is more than a science: it's a charitable calling and an art.
"An artist may take a piece of wood or stone and carve it into something beautiful," Lauwers says. "In the same way we're taking a piece of composite or amalgam and sculpting a smile."
The graduating Dentistry student will have plenty of support as she embarks on her career: Her husband, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law are all UBC Dentistry graduates.
"We try not to talk too much about dentistry," she says of husband Ryan Lauwers (DMD'04), brother-in-law Kevin Lauwers (DMD'05) and sister-in-law and long time friend Candace Woodman (DMD'07).
Choosing dentistry as a career wasn't on Lauwers' mind while growing up in Port Moody, B.C., though she says she was never one to shy away from visits to the dentist. "I loved getting the prize at the end," she laughs.
After two years at the University of Victoria, she studied to become a dental assistant at Vancouver Community College. After completing the certified dental assisting program she realized that she wanted to further pursue a career in dentistry. A degree in cellular and molecular biology at SFU followed before she began Dentistry at UBC.
As the clinic representative for her class and team leader of the mentoring program, she's received a number of awards, including the Dr. Cal Waddell Memorial Scholarship and the Dr. Cal Waddell Western Canada Dental Society Scholarship.
Lauwers has also been active in the program's volunteer efforts, which include free and low-cost clinics in the Downtown Eastside. She describes her volunteer work in the neighbourhood as "eye-opening and rewarding."
"People have preconceived ideas about the Downtown Eastside, but many of the residents are just everyday people who have not had access to dental care," she says.
Patients the students see in the community are frequently in pain, due to a lack of preventive treatment and education in oral self-care. The UBC students perform extractions, fillings and the beginnings of root canals to ease the patients' suffering.
Lauwers' leadership and desire to help others has led her to future aspirations of a dental mission to Mexico. Along with her husband, brother-in-law and sister-in-law, she hopes to partner with their church, which has already established an ongoing ministry in Mexico.
"As a family we are hoping to provide much needed preventive and restorative dental treatment for the people of this community," she says.
There's a host of logistics to be contemplated before planning of this ambitious project begins, but Lauwers says she feels a calling to help.
have a skill that can be used to serve people who are less fortunate than me," she says. "The major goal would be to alleviate pain and provide education on preventive oral self-care."
In the immediate future, Lauwers is hoping to begin the next chapter of her career as an associate dentist.
"I'd like to find a principal dentist who will be a good mentor and shares a similar philosophy of practice," she says, "someone I can learn from and who will help me grow as a clinician.
"As dentists, we are committed to lifelong education, in order to provide the highest quality of care for our patients." | 2021/06/23 08:21:06 | https://news.ubc.ca/2009/05/07/archive-ubcreports-2009-09may07-dentistry/ | mC4 | en |

Don S. Robertson, DVM, founded Oldtown Veterinary Hospital as a small-animal practice in 1966. It has been my practice of choice for my dogs since 1991 and was my first veterinary hospital client.
The first project for Dr. Robertson was a letter to clients I wrote in 1994. Soon after, I designed a logo and wrote and designed an assortment of marketing and educational materials for the practice.
As the hospital expanded and introduced new associates, I wrote more client letters in 1997 and 1998 and created brochures to promote senior pet health screening and dental services. A year later, I revised the original logo and created new brochures, along with a matching pocket folder. In 2001, I wrote and designed dog and cat care manuals suitable for printing in-house.
In 2006, with the clinic under new ownership by former associate, Scott Schroeder, DVM, I offered an after-hours branding workshop for the clinic team with help from branding expert Carol M. Mabe. Based on the team's input, Carol and I collaborated on a presentation in which we recommended mission, positioning and vision statements as well as a slogan to help define and differentiate the practice. | 2022/07/06 15:23:04 | https://veterinaryservicesmarketing.com/portfolio/oldtown-veterinary-hospital/ | mC4 | en |
Moonbattery The New American Crusaders - Moonbattery
The diametric opposite of the cultural rot that produced Barack Hussein Obama would be the code of chivalry practiced by the knights of old — who of course are demonized by liberals. Wild Bill for America would like to reclaim the noble cultural heritage we have been discarding:
4 Responses to "The New American Crusaders"
The faithful know beyond doubt the are all now strangers in a strange land.
In Democrats divide and conquer strategy, declining to finance others' infidelity translates into "war on women." But making taxpayers who favor life foot the bill for death is as offensive as forcing liberals to furnish free firearms for the indigent. From a City on a Hill we've slipped into Sodom and Gomorrah.
An uninhibited Obama for another four years is frightening. Far worse is what his reelection reveals about America. Obama didn't even appeal to idealistic aspirations or parlay faux compassion. He merely appealed to our carnal nature and demonized Romney by ratcheting up covetousness sown into the nature of man. But government offers a severely lacking salve for what ails humanity.
Civilization requires a multi-generational continuity based on family, not politics. Most Christians desire responsible government and a personally responsible populace. But Washington's fiscal recklessness, courtesy of both parties, largely underwrites, encourages and enables prodigality. Neither state nor church can cope as culture degenerates; a certain consequence of subsidizing family breakdown. Chaos ensures state authority will swell to restore order.
History rhymes. After the roller-coaster ride through Judges, ancient Israel rejected God and sought a ruler. Samuel warned a king would take their sons and daughters to serve him, appropriate the best portions of their fields and vineyards, confiscate their livestock and enslave the populace, yet Israel persisted (1 Samuel 8). Samuel's prophecy proved true.
Americans similarly want safety-nets. Democrats eagerly extol government as the centripetal force around which society revolves, "Government is the only thing we all belong to." Cal Thomas counters, "The government beast is starved when people become independent of it. This will require a transfer of faith in government, to faith in an Authority higher than the state and a Leader more powerful than any president."
America travails the other direction further from God. The religiously unaffiliated have increased to one fifth of the electorate and one third of twenty-somethings. America grows increasingly secular and pluralistic. Biblical morality will be more and more mocked. Meanwhile, behaviors Christians find appalling are exalted by a nihilistic popular culture.
Ravi Zacharias cites three worrisome trends: Secularization resulting in the loss of stigma around anti-social behavior. Christianity is no longer considered relevant, but repressive. Second, Pluralization, which begets relativism. The priests of PC spout tolerance and inclusion. Any group, any behavior any anything no matter how wicked receives welcome except those esteeming biblical absolutes.
Finally Zacharias foresees Privatization. Christians will be isolated. Preaching Christ crucified will increasingly come across as a stumbling block to lukewarm Christians and folly to secularists. If Christ's flock remains steadfast, Believers will appear as the "peculiar people" Peter foresaw; sojourners dwelling in a strange land.
Politically, Romney took religious voters for granted yet relinquished nary any evangelical support. Obama scorned biblical thinking yet triumphed. No all encompassing state has ever tolerated a faithful Church. Clearly culture quickly turns against Christianity too. Maybe Christians should hop aboard the Mayflower, but no New Worlds remain.

Very thought provoking….one of the first
studies I made after 9-11 was the crusades….
but the code of chivalry is what some of us
aspire to as it is the embodiment of
Christian manhood and responsibility.
It's time for America to fall or be taken down. Perhaps we can get it right next time.
We did do it right Bo. Allowing the ROT to settle in is what we did wrong. We went from fighting commies to allowing them to cheat their way into office AND GET AWAY WITH IT. | 2018/04/26 11:06:54 | http://moonbattery.com/the-new-american-crusaders/ | mC4 | en |

For context, a large friend of mine would say that when asked to do things, just to mess with people.
I've also said "Don't do it! It's a trap!" Which caused a co-worker to stop and look around on one occasion. To her credit, she didn't hit me. 🙂

Yeah, it seems hazardous to deploy them in close proximity to each other, given what we know happens if they glance in the wrong direction. Sort of like Weeping Angels, but they only turn to stone if they look at each other, as apposed to if others look at them. I wonder what happens if one of the undead soldiers looks at a gorgon?

Gorgon gaze attacks tend to only affect living creatures, including themselves. Otherwise Gorgons would be turning everything they look at into stone… like doors, furniture, windows, mirrors…
So the Undead would be safe from them… all the Undead, including Lewie.
April 23, 2020, 5:15 am | # | Reply
I think it's more accurate to say organic matter turns to stone, also they have to make eye contact for it to work. technically Lewie should turn to stone with their gaze, however it would just be his bones that turn to stone. the petrification effect only works because your soft tissue becomes too hard to move so you're stuck. Lewie doesn't have any connective tissue, there's nothing soft left to get hard, everything that can become hard is already hard, if anything he'd just get stronger because stone is harder than bone. however the Rannite undead do appear to have at least a thin layer of flesh left on their bones so a gorgon stare would be effective against them. the only real question is whether or not the stare needs you to be conscious of the fact you're seeing them, does it just automatically turn you stone no matter what or is it like SCP-096 in that you can safely look at him as long as you don't consciously realize you're looking at him? like if a person is blind or asleep and the gorgon looked in their eyes would they still turn? because if not then the mindless Zombies Lewie can make shouldn't be effected whereas the sentient undead Ranna has should be.

Gorgons don't turn wooden doors into stone, wood is organic.
And Meegs and what'sherface stoned each other with eye contact so it hints that it's a constant unconscious ability. It's why they're all wearing protective masks, which you see them remove going to combat.
April 24, 2020, 6:29 pm | #
except doors don't have eyes, nor are they able to perceive the concept of looking into the eyes of a gorgon because they don't have a brain. the question still remains, is it just the eyes that are necessary or is it both eyes and a brain? if someone uses the awaken spell on a tree, would it turn to stone from a gorgon's stare? the awaken spell gives any plant or animal with an intelligence score of 3 or less human level intelligence and the ability to perceive the 5 senses (touch, sight, smell, ect) so would the tree be turned to stone? it can see and is intelligent enough to know it's looking into a gorgon's eyes, but it technically doesn't have eyes, it just sees magically. similarly would a creature with eyes but no higher brain function be turned to stone even thought it doesn't know it's looking in the gorgon's eyes? meegs and the other girl are intelligent to perceive eyes, they were turned to stone instantly but they were still able to tell they were looking in each other's eyes. there are so many unanswered variables, that's why I don't like gorgons.

And neither does Grell, but Grell never risked facing down a Gorgon without being behind the protective aura from Bob. And you clearly see him looking straight into Snierr's unmasked eyes.
Because he's smart enough not to get in LOS of a Gorgon.

The good guys don't seem to have the upper hand. Sure, their troop might be more loyal, but we don't know about their numbers or capabilities. There are rebels among Rannites, but unless they count for more than half, Ranna could still have superior numbers.

Remember, this is battle is being staged primarily as a distraction to hold Ranna's attention — meanwhile, the spellcasters are elsewhere, carrying out the real mission. Not unlike the battle at the gates of Mordor, Sauron's eye away from Frodo and Sam.

Superior numbers still loses to superior tactics and superior weapons.
4 guys in two armoured tanks can rip though infantry companies pretty effectively. I can think of examples in WWI and WWII. A couple dozen guys in aircraft rigged for war can cripple a fleet of battleships and support ships and kill hundreds of sailors. An event like that got the United States to enter WWII.
Use the strengths of your troops against the weakness of their troops to assure yourself an overall victory. Fast hobbits face off against slow animated skeletons and zombies to make quick work of the undead, so long they use their speed advantage properly.
Well, those skeletons look like they're running ahead, so I don't think you can say Rich's world undead are slow.
As for superior weapons, Rannites have spears and their aardgnolls are large and have these huge clubs. I don't think you can say they have inferior weapons*.
(*) Note: Spears are superior to swords in almost every circumstance, except an untrained spear user vs. trained swordsman, and then only if the spear user is incompetent and won't use his range advantage.
Of course, in case of a magical battle where low level spells can (or should) destroy wood, spears may no longer be superior weapons, but in such a case you simply impregnate wood against spells or use alternative fireproof materials (using magic to create or work them if necessary). | 2022/06/28 12:09:08 | https://www.yafgc.net/comic/3330-the-rannites-attack/ | mC4 | en |

In My Framework is More Productive than Your Framework, Ken DeLong examines approaches to making software projects more productive. He finds that despite the hype about frameworks, languages, and project management tools, these tend not to be the bottlenecks. Ken believes that the largest productivity gains are likely to come from improved communication, code readability and debugability.
From the Theory of Constraints, we know that the only way to substantially increase productivity is to attack the bottlenecks. Gains made in other areas will still be dominated and subsumed by the bottleneck constraint.
Ken notes that frameworks often tout how easy it is to get a project set up and ready for real development. Certainly this is useful, but over the life of a project, the setup time is not likely to be significant.
Another area of optimization that is likely to have only minor impact on productivity is reducing the time it takes to write code. While certain languages, frameworks or programming techniques can significantly reduce the amount of code that must be written, this is not likely to translate into big productivity gains for the project.
This is where I get really suspicious of "expressive" programming languages. There are many ways to be "expressive" - which typically means cramming large amounts of functionality on a single line. Those who have struggled with reading "expressive" Perl or C might care to comment about how wonderful it is to have the whole program on a single line of code. I would assert that readability of code is orders of magnitude more important that writeability.
A recent poster on Stack Overflow appeared to want to improve productivity by hiring coders who could type fast. Respondents indicated that typing speed was an irrelevant metric for judging the productivity of developers, and warned against using a typing test as part of the interviewing process. In Pair Programming Misconceptions, Martin Fowler points out that pair programming increases productivity, not reduces it, in part because typing is not the hardest part of programming.
After pointing out things that are not likely to be the bottleneck constraint for developers, Ken goes on to discuss several areas that are more likely to be, including: communication with business stakeholders, understanding preexisting code, and debugging.
Ken says: "Trying to hammer out requirements, understanding the true business goal, and finding compromises that are technically feasible, surely takes the most of my time." In his case, it is likely that the greatest productivity gains would come from embracing the aspects of agile development that improve communication between developers and the business. For example, colocating with a product owner or on-site customer would allow frequent collaboration and promote understanding of the business goals and requirements. Similarly, replacing heavyweight written requirement specifications with: user stories, conversations, and acceptance tests (sometimes called executable requirements), would reduce ambiguity and misunderstanding of requirements.
He writes that project setup time is not really important, because he only spent 3 hours setting up a new project. I agree. But still, why does that take 2 minutes with Rails? Yes, it doesn't save a lot of time, but why wait if you don't have to? If setting up a project takes that long that's a good indication that your tools are too complex.
Coding time. This is actually very important. I agree that coding itself doesn't take that much time, but you can trade coding for communication. If you can implement a feature fast enough you can do it live in a meeting (I do this with my clients). This means that you have to discuss it less because you can check immediately if this is what the client wants. Last time I implemented two prototypes in Django after the first meeting. This also saves a lot of communication time because in the next meeting the client can say "this is what I want, and not that" and point at the screen. If they have to describe exactly what they want that will take a lot longer, and I certainly don't get what they mean the first try (often THEY don't even know what they want).
Short code is not only easier to write, but also easier to read. This is obvious. Java code may be easier to read per line. I'd rather read Ruby code because it will be fewer lines with less irrelevant stuff.
Cripes, I can't even remember in Java whether its Object.equal() or Object.equals() because I haven't typed the whole method even once since I installed Eclipse about 9 years ago.
Struts was a big step up from bare servlets, and Spring MVC is another order of magnitude. Spring+Hibernate must be 100 times more productive than bare servlets and JDBC ... I can easily imagine Comet giving you a 10-100 X productivity boost over the bare technologies. Is there another framework better than Comet? No idea. Would it give another factor of 10? I strongly doubt it.
I doubt the high factors (100x) and I don't think that another framework can give a factor of 10 soon. If we scale down the factors a bit, yeah I think 2x over Rails is possible.
This one is a good point, it really amazes me how some Ruby guys claim they are 10 times more productive based on project setup time comparisons.
Trying to hammer out requirements, understanding the true business goal, and finding compromises that are technically feasible, surely takes the most of my time.
Yes, that is true. But when you get those requirements, find compromises, etc., how do you fit that stuff into your brain? A structure of some sort? Some object structure with responsibilities of particular objects (object-oriented approach) or what the system should do in response to some user action (more like the functional one)? User stories? Сard of accounts? These are all languages of some sort. The more of the languages you understand the easier you fit stuff into your brain. I find that some of the hype around the languages is about realizing that a class diagram is not everything and there are other ways to describe what's happening. Another part of the hype is about what's mentioned in the first paragraph - code readability and debugability. And some of the hype is, well, just hype.
I don't think you are addressing the point. If indeed the bottleneck is not in programming, it is a waste of time and irrelevant talking about languages and frameworks.
The real question is, where is your organization's bottleneck? If it is in programming, then everything you say makes sense. If it is not, then no matter how fast you program, product will NOT come out faster.
1) Why use an inferior language if you have a choice? Even if it doesn't matter much, I'll save a few hours if I have the choice.
Let me clarify this: "Even if it doesn't matter much, I'll save a few hours if I have the choice.". I mean even if it doesn't make the project come out faster because you're waiting for other things. Then you can play minesweeper or something in the extra free time.

According to the latest Developer Nation Q3 2016 survey from VisionMobile, Android’s lead over iOS as primary platform and developer mindshare has been consolidated. Also, Windows developers prefer C# in the cloud while Linux ones stay with Java.
For many years iOS topped the preference of developers when it came to platform priority. When a company started to create a new application, iOS was the first to target, and if the app proved successful they would attempt the same with Android. But now, Android has caught up with iOS in developers’ preference in North America and Western Europe and has an important lead in the rest of the world, especially in Asia, according to VisionMobile. The following table shows the actual numbers. They are even higher for Android compared to iOS for hobby and side-projects (not shown here).
When it comes to developer mindshare, Android now has a record 79% while iOS is at 61%. The Mobile Browser used to enjoy great mindshare among developers, 56% back in 2011, but it fell to 7% in 2014. Now it has rebound some at 30%.
The following chart depicts developers’ preference for a server-side language by primary desktop platform (click on picture to enlarge):
We see that C# leads as a desirable server-side language when Windows is the platform of choice for the desktop, followed by PHP and Java. For Linux developers, Java is the main language for the cloud, followed by C/C++ and Python, while Mac developers prefer PHP, then Java. In spite of Microsoft’s efforts to make C# the main language for the cloud, open sourcing many technologies and taking .NET cross platform, the report notices that only 2%/3% of Linux/MacOS developers want to use it.
For more details on the findings of this survey, including developers’ interest in IoT, we recommend reading the entire report. The results of this survey are based on the responses of over 16,500 developers from 145 countries around the world. | OSCAR-2019 | en |

WASHINGTON – The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) National Center for Explosives Training and Research (NCETR), in partnership with the U.S. Army Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) G-38 – Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), announce the 2017 Raven's Challenge XI Interoperability Exercise, a national training event to prepare and counter the threat of improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
The Raven’s Challenge began in 2004 as an ATF-led training exercise for both military EOD teams and public safety bomb squads (PSBS) in Seattle, Wash. The exercise matured into what is now the largest EOD/PSBS training exercise in the world. The Raven’s Challenge is funded by the U.S. Army and is executed by ATF and partner agencies including the U.S. Army, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the country.
This annual, interagency counter-IED (C-IED) exercise incorporates scenarios focused on capabilities between public safety bomb squads and military EOD teams in operational environments. It involves EOD teams from the U.S. Air Force (USAF), Army, Navy (USN), and Marine Corps (USMC), including their active duty, reserve, and guard components; state and local PSBS; Departments of Defense; Department of Justice; DHS; international law enforcement; and military and industry partners. The close collaboration and participation of these organizations is a testament to the C-IED expertise and professionalism of all involved and the importance of the subject matter. The Raven’s Challenge objectives tie directly to guiding policy regarding C-IED national preparedness efforts.
The 2016 Raven’s Challenge X Inoperability Exercise was an overwhelming success which resulted in the training of more than 800 law enforcement and military EOD technicians from the U.S., Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, Bahamas and United Arab Emirates. Participants trained in select IED challenges; including IEDs encountered in diverse environments, vehicle-borne IEDs, and IED attacks on transportation systems. The training increased the interoperability and familiarity of local law enforcement agencies throughout the United States and prepared military participants to fight and win on today’s global IED battlefield. This year’s event promises to be just as challenging.
The Raven’s Challenge continues to grow public safety partnerships between international, state and local jurisdictions for the prevention, protection, mitigation and response of man-made threats our nation and communities face. This exercise is also in direct support of the National Preparedness Goal formed out of the Presidential Policy Directive-8: National Preparedness, which describes the nation’s approach to preparing for the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to the security of the United States. This full-scale exercise embodies the highest level of effort to achieve the overall goal of national preparedness.
ATF provides outstanding training facilities and the unmatched expertise of its training staff in the delivery of life-saving advanced explosives and arson training for our nation’s explosives handlers, bomb technicians, criminal investigators and military EOD teams. The main NCETR facility and explosives ranges in Huntsville make this center a unique resource in the fight against explosives-related violent crime and the government-wide C-IED effort.
No matter where I’m playing or the level of the game I’m involved in, I’ve always tried to never take it for granted.
Growing up in Buford, Georgia, I had a love for Tech and wanted to be around the program, but I never dreamed I’d have the opportunity to play here. Honestly, until I got into high school, I thought it was silly for me to even think about playing in college.
And really, until I started to work with former Major Leaguer, Michael Barrett, I wasn’t even sure that baseball was my main sport.
Then, as a freshman, I started to see I might have an opportunity to keep playing if I stuck with it.
Receiving a few offers, I was honored at having the opportunity to continue my baseball career. And this also helped with getting some attention from Tech.
For a few years, I had been playing ball with Coach Hall’s son, so once his staff got word that UGA had offered me, I had an invite to a basketball game to come see what Tech was all about.
Surrounded by a few of my other high school teammates, I was blown away by the program and the feel of campus.
The work that my recruiter, former assistant coach, and Tech catcher Brian Prince, had put in along with the relationships I was already building with the rest of the coaching staff, left me one step closer to knowing I wanted to be a Yellow Jacket.
I know a lot of guys struggle with the process, but for me, the tough part wasn’t choosing a school, but if I was going to attend school at all.
Waiting around during the 2015 MLB Draft, I honestly wasn’t sure where I would end up. Obviously, every kid dreams of being drafted by a professional team, but I knew how great of an opportunity I still had up at Tech.
Ultimately, I felt blessed to be selected by the Tampa Bay Rays, but I knew I needed to head off to college.
It was a family decision, one where I knew my value and more importantly the value we saw in getting an education at one of the best schools in the country.
Heading off for my first year, I now set my sights on earning my spot on the roster. I didn’t care that I was just drafted or had been highly recruited, I wanted to prove to my team that I deserved to share the field with them.
By the start of the season, I had worked my way into splitting time with one of our senior leaders at catcher, but I still felt like I had more to prove.
I was happy to have earned a spot, but I wanted to make the most out of my decision to come to school. So in the offseason, I set my goals even higher.
Coming in that second year in 2017, even as I knew the starting job was all mine, I didn’t look at it any differently. Just because I had success my first year, didn’t mean I had proved myself.
With each day, I felt like I had a new opportunity to earn my spot once again and lead with my effort.
Sometimes, it might be easy to think we have earned something, or that you’ve put in enough effort, but I try to remember that there is always some area I can get my game to the next level.
Whether it’s working on my defensive side as a catcher or tweaking my swing during my work up in the Cape with Coach Jerry, I want to keep earning my spot through my work, determination, and efforts.
Looking back on my time here so far, I’m so thankful for making the decision to come to Georgia Tech. The amount I’ve learned living in the Atlanta area and being a college student, I couldn’t have found anywhere else.
But no matter where I end up going forward, I plan to take that Tech mentality with me. Whether it’s helping our team compete in the ACC or playing at the next level, I’m always going to work to earn my spot.
Houston, we have a problem. Too many companies are fixated on the definitions of ITIL and problem management instead of actually getting value out of them. When you don't have a bonafide problem management policy, plus the training and skills to back it up, your team is likely to spend too much energy on ineffective activities. But there's hope. IT veteran John Custy will introduce the concepts you need to understand, dispel a few misconceptions, and explain the different problem management methodologies. He'll also cover the pros and cons of each methodology, and when to use each of them. | OSCAR-2019 | en |

www.kingston.ac.uk/dirc/ In order to develop a high-level description of events unfolding in a typical surveillance scenario, each successfully tracked event must be classified into type and behaviour. In common with a number of approaches this paper employs a Bayesian classifier to determine type from event attribute such as height, width and velocity. The classifier, however, is extended to integrate all available evidence from the entire track. A not untypical Hidden Markov Model approach has been employed to model the common event behaviours typical of a car-park environment. Both techniques have been probabilistically integrated to generate accurate type and behaviour classifications. 1

For over two years the mainstream media outlets covered up the coup attempt because they were in collusion with anti-American “Progressives”
Despite all the rumors swirling around Disney’s recent takeover of Fox television and movie studios, and the apparent layoffs and shakeup at Fox, the news division at Fox was able to get something clear regarding the Deep State coup against President Donald Trump. In fact, despite turmoil amid the upheaval, the Fox News Channel and the Fox television network will apparently remain with Rupert Murdoch and his family. But last Friday, Fox News published a story by Gregg Re and Catherine Herridge that dealt with more revelations regarding the now infamous warrant of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) that gave the green light to Deep State operatives to proceed with spying on Donald Trump and staff members of his campaign for POTUS.
Friday’s Fox article, entitled, “FBI clashed with DOJ over potential ‘bias’ of source for surveillance warrant: McCabe-Page texts,” reveals that in 2016, several text messages between Andrew McCabe, then FBI Deputy Director, and Lisa Page, the former FBI lawyer, served as source material, or impetus in obtaining the FISA warrant. Fox News resources indicate that someone, or more, in the Department of Justice expressed real concerns over whether the FISA application to spy on Carter Page, then one of Donald Trump’s campaign aides, was based on a biased source. The Fox article revealed that nine days before the FBI applied for the FISA warrant to spy on Carter Page, DOJ officials still had “continued concerns” regarding “possible bias” of an individual who was a source apparently key to the FISA warrant application. The source was unnamed.
Previously discovered text messages between Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, former FBI special agent, indicate that in late 2016, Strzok was “Currently fighting with Stu for this FISA.” The Fox writers indicate that “‘Stu’ was an apparent reference to Stuart Evans, then the DOJ’s National Security Division deputy assistant attorney general.” Recently obtained text messages via Fox News between Lisa Page and Andrew McCabe reveal that Page dealt with Evans based upon a text from her stating:
“‘OI [Office of Intelligence] now has a robust explanation re any possible bias of the chs [confidential human source] in the package,’ Lisa Page wrote to McCabe on Oct. 12, 2016. ‘Don’t know what the holdup is now, other than Stu’s continued concerns.’ It’s unclear whether the confidential source in question was Steele or another individual.”
It is this source that the official(s) at the DOJ were concerned about, but apparently the explanation for the bias from the Office of Intelligence (in Lisa Page’s perception) was convincing enough. She successfully obtained the tainted warrant, and Deep State operatives were off to the races as it was less than a month before Election Day. However, Fox News is showing that there was resistance to the Deep State efforts to sway the election, which is incidentally the crime they have been trying to pin on Trump with the investigation into “Russian collusion.” This is the heart of the Mueller investigation—to find evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians. It did not exist.
Yet, core Democrats knew the Steele dossier was bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton and her campaign staff. A central component of the Fox News report is a cornerstone at the foundation of the entire Mueller investigation over the past two years: “Fox News is told the texts were connected to the ultimately successful Page application, which relied in part on information from British ex-spy Christopher Steele—whose anti-Trump views are now well-documented—and cited Page’s (Carter Page) suspected Russia ties. In its warrant application, the FBI assured the FISA court on numerous occasions that other sources independently corroborated Steele’s claims but did not clearly state that Steele worked for a firm hired by Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
So, the premise and cornerstone of the two-year Mueller investigation is that one of the candidates running for POTUS was colluding with a foreign government, and ultimately this claim ballooned into Donald Trump being tabbed as an agent of Russia. Of course, the first part of that premise is absolutely correct—and there is evidence of collusion! The other candidate, Hillary Clinton was colluding with a British foreign national in arranging and paying for the fake report that is the Steele dossier. The American people should be outraged! They should be outraged because for two years the major and mainstream media outlets demonstrated how the people should be outraged over a candidate for POTUS colluding with foreign interests to adversely affect an election!
There is an incredible irony from what Rod Rosenstein recently said about investigating American citizens. He stated at least once that “when investigating American citizens, it should be done with appropriate sensitivity to the rights of the uncharged people…” And proudly stated that “when the Department of Justice charges someone with a violation, they need to be prepared to prove it with evidence beyond any reasonable doubt… and prosecutors not capable of proving their case with evidence beyond reasonable doubt, have no business making allegations against American citizens…” In truth, platitudes about investigating American citizens are fine, but Rod Rosenstein has proven himself truly incapable of living by such ideals.
In essence, the entire leadership of the FBI under James Comey, as well as those high level, unelected officials in the DOJ, are now under suspicion of ascending to that elitist position where people with power feel that they have risen above the rule of law. Who is able to restore the lost confidence of the American people in their institutions of true justice? The American people should be outraged by such outrageous misconduct at the highest levels of the “people’s” government! They should be outraged because it is now coming to light that Democrats at the core of the federal government are currently being exposed. They had an organized objective to eliminate Donald Trump as POTUS in any way possible. In any other nation it would be called a coup d’é·tat.
President Donald J. Trump is right—no one should have to suffer what he and his family and supporters have had to suffer through this two-year witch hunt. In a recent interview with Maria Bartiromo, President Trump said that the “people will not stand for it,” indicating that the American people would not stand for the waste, or for the empty outcome of the report from special counsel Robert Mueller. He stated:
A deputy who didn’t get any votes appoints a man who didn’t get any votes. He’s gonna write a report on me… Because we have an attorney general who nobody can believe, he didn’t tell me, but he recused himself…
I have a deputy appoints a man to write a report on me to make a determination on my presidency? People will not stand for it. | 2021-02-28T07:55:47Z | https://atomic-fungus.livejournal.com/637759.html | OSCAR-2109 | en |
School Crossing: The Intersection of Education and Society: July 2009
Elaine Morgan hypothesizes that humans evolved from a water primate and laments the lack of interest and research within the scientific community.
She questions the prevailing Savannah theory because of the intriguing questions it does not answer:
1.Why are humans the only Savannah animal to walk upright?
2.Why are humans the only Savannah animal with a layer of "blubber" directly under the skin?
3.Why are humans the only "naked" Savannah animal?
4.Why are human babies born with so much fat, compared to other mammalian babies?
5.Could capacity for speech be related to the ability to control air flow similar to the control exhibited by diving birds and other water animals?
She is not the only one skeptical of the Savannah theory. Many "real" scientists have developed doubts.
The Savannah theory suggests that our hominid ancestors evolved on the dry plains of Africa, and the theory still has many supporters.
In a separate BBC documentary, Mrs. Morgan graciously advises young scientists to avoid imperiling their careers over her hypothesis. If sound, she says, the theory will eventually prevail. If unsound, her theory deserves to be discarded.
Did humanity arise out of water? It has to be considered.

Anytime the Japanese education system, and the advisability of adopting some of its features, comes up, most certainly voices will arise in dissent. Americans have heard somewhere that Japanese students are so driven they commit suicide in droves, that their education emphasizes rote and regurgitation, and a whole host of other negative attributes. Thusly reassured that the American system is not so bad by comparison, everyone goes back to sleep, confident that the proclaiming of some supposed negatives eliminates all positive features of the Japanese system from further consideration. What a foolish response!
Once upon a time, not so long ago, the Japanese were at the top of their game in their corner of the world. Or so they thought. The Tokugawa Shogunate came into power around 1600 bringing peace and stability to what had been a land ravaged by competing warlords. Socially, class distinctions were rigidly drawn and fiercely maintained. The Shogun made the laws; punishments were severe. The Shogun, the daimyo (literally "great names") and their samurai retainers topped the vertical social scale, followed by farmers, then craftsmen, and at the bottom, merchants, those despised handlers of "filthy lucre." Japan experienced an economic boom, enriching especially the merchant class to the dismay of the ruling class.
Most of what Westerners admire culturally came out of this period also known as the Edo period.
The Edo period is nowadays seen as the high-water mark pf Japanese cultural tradition... Beasley, W.G. (1999). The Japanese Experience: A Short History of Japan. pg. 171
That poet laureate of haiku, Basho, wrote during the Edo period. A new kind of drama, kabuki, was first performed in Kyoto. Hokusai produced his famous woodblock print, The Great Wave Off Kanagawa.
Nevertheless, after a couple hundred years, Japanese society was becoming acutely stressed by the increasing disparity of wealth and especially the redistribution of wealth from the samurai class to the merchants. Contradictions and inconsistencies plagued the carefully constructed system. Throughout the Edo period the Japanese had limited interaction with other foreigners, first the Portuguese, and then the Dutch. Then one fine day in July 1853, the people beheld Commodore Perry and his Black Ships coming over the horizon. He was not well received. No matter, he would return the following year. And so he did with twice as many ships. He meant to open Japan to the West and he succeeded by threat of his greater military power. Ten years later, the threat was made real when in 1864, a coalition of four countries launched a fleet of seventeen ships which bombarded the coast at Shimonoseki to open the straits for trade.
The Japanese realized they had lost the ability to compete and set out to rectify the situation. The Japanese sent students to the West to study just about everything with a view to acquiring whatever made sense for them to adopt and adapt to their own culture and society. Before Commodore Perry, the Japanese had held an unswerving confidence in their own superiority. Perhaps if they had been strong enough militarily to repel the foreigners, they might never have questioned their superiority. They realized they had lost the ability to compete. In order to compete militarily, they realized they needed to educate their people. They understood they had to (as the President said), "outeducate in order to outcompete." Much of their present educational system was first adapted first from the Prussians and modified by influences from America.
America is in a similar situation today. There is an unshakable confidence in our own superiority in spite of contradictory evidence. But many Americans do not seem to feel the urgency of the situation. The main arena of competition today is not military but economic. What will it take, the economic equivalent of Commodore Perry's Black Ships? In order to outcompete economically, we have to outeducate our children. Strangely, calls to learn from others, such as the Japanese, are met with resistance and rationalizations.
It reminds me of an incident a few years ago when a group of Japanese Christians decided that California was a pretty wicked place in need of missionaries. The response from the Californians they visited was anger and derision. "We sent missionaries to you. How dare you think of sending missionaries to us?" Now it is not necessary to go off on a rabbit trail about Christianity and missionaries. The point here is the attitude displayed. It is educational ethnocentrism to think that it is impossible the Japanese should have anything to teach us. If we are not careful, we may wake up one day and find we have been outcompeted. Game over.
Most of what is written in American media about Japanese schools is mistaken. Very few writers have the long-term experience and fluency in Japanese to make sense of their observations. Japanese children are not rote-and-regurgitate robots.
At primary school, there are many opportunities for children to take the initiative to study on their own or in small groups, but the entire class almost always comes together again after a while to discuss findings and conclusions. Indeed, Japanese primary classrooms are very impressive for their emphasis on inquiry and exploration.
What helps to underpin the combination of energetic inquiry and discussion is the unremitting effort to develop a classroom community. All children take turns in leading the class, and all participate in a great variety of small groups for organizing everything from chores (including cleaning) to fun and games. This is often very effective in developing a sense of mutual consideration and respect.
In Japan, all education is essentially moral and Japanese education seeks to foster integrated wholeness in every child.
At secondary school, most children join after-school clubs, mainly run by teachers, which offer sporting or cultural activities, usually almost every day of the week. Sports clubs in particular play an important role in instilling an ethos of effort and self-discipline, as well as enabling children to develop non-academic abilities and experience camaraderie outside the classroom. All in all, Japan's schools have been remarkably good at enabling their charges to develop all-round mental and social capabilities that stand them in good stead as individuals and contributors to society...
I confidently expect continued sensationalist and misguided deploring of the shortcomings of Japanese schools and young people - either as undisciplined know-nothings or fact-stuffed robots - because "crisis" makes copy that sells. But the more mundane reality is that Japanese education does a pretty good job of turning out young people who are thoughtful, hard-working, energetic, knowledgeable, and often, remarkably creative - even if it could do still better.
The Japanese themselves are not wholly satisfied with their education system. They worry because their ranking in international comparisons is slipping. However, it is foolish to dismiss good ideas from Japan because of an American educational ethnocentrism that grasps at any reason to discount and then ignore valuable lessons from the Japanese education system.

Incidental Oversight or Deliberate Social Engineering
America is full of sober, responsible people who tried very hard to do the right thing financially. They got their education, got a job, bought a house, stayed out of debt and saved for retirement. They followed all the rules only to wake up one fine morning and find themselves in serious financial trouble. What did they learn? They did not necessarily do the right things after all. They, meaning we, found that very often our financial teachers gave us advice that benefits them rather than us. Yet even now, our financial teachers, wherever they may be found, are advising us to do what we have so long been taught to do: go to school, work hard, stay out of debt, save for retirement, and hope things will be okay. Once the crisis is over and things are back to normal, doing all those old right things will work---except when they don't.
Every financial adviser strangely urges relying on the same failed strategies to work in the future, the strategies that enrich them instead of us. And why not? Most so-called financial advisers are really financial sales people. We should expect what they say to benefit mostly themselves. It seems each financial adviser has a pet financial instrument. For some, no matter what the financial problem is, the solution is life insurance. For others, the solution is an annuity. Still others, it's the stock market. For yet others...whatever it is they are licensed to sell. Once they have been paid, it little matters how their advice impacts their clients for good or ill.
Given the importance of finance in every single person's life, it is astonishing that finance is not generally taught in schools, nor is there much public demand to make finance part of the school curriculum. Teachers may read and groan, Oh, please, do not add even one more burden to the teaching load or one more excellent subject to be neglected in favor of NCLB testing. Even so, finance should be part of the curriculum, perhaps within the math curriculum. To be sure, many math textbooks touch on financial topics, especially when looking for real world applications of the math students are supposed to be learning. But these incidental financial topics are taught by the same elementary math teachers whose lack of a profound understanding of fundamental mathematics has already been well-documented.
Robert Kiyosaki, taking some cues from John Taylor Gatto, believes that keeping our children in ignorance about money and how it works is evil. We are in the information age when knowledge about all kinds of things, including money, is crucial. Yet as any history of education shows, our education system still operates in the industrial age. During the most recent presidential campaign we heard that education and the economy are intertwined and interdependent. However, there are no broad-based initiatives to include finance in the curriculum.
A program to teach financial literacy is probably more important than the technology literacy schools were more than happy to integrate into their curriculum, especially since technology in schools was often generously funded by the foundation arm of corporations in a position to profit. Thus Apple put free computers in many schools. Nearly every foundation's Request for Proposals (RFP) for grant funding requires a computer/technology component. Financial literacy is even better, because almost by definition, financial literacy would enhance that darling of all educators, CRITICAL THINKING. Financial literacy is all about evaluation, the very top level of cognitive knowledge.
What would a curriculum of financial literacy include? Robert Kiyosaki, writing about this very topic, would probably say a curriculum* of financial literacy would include:
1.The language of money.
2.The difference between capital gains and cash flow.
3.The fairytale aspect of most financial advice.
4.The influence of attitude on reality.
5.Selling yourself.
In other words, students need a new mind set, a different frame of reference, a modified set of pegs for organizing the basics of financial knowledge, such as rate of inflation, compound interest and tax strategies, just to name a few. Those basics need to be taught within a different frame of reference, because clearly the old frame of reference further enriches the already rich at our expense. Schools need to prepare students for the information age where knowledge is king. So far, schools seem uninterested in the task, perhaps because teachers with the new, different, modified mindset are so rare, and because the usual, but flawed advice, is not only everywhere, but everywhere accepted as correct. I am not necessarily recommending Mr. Kiyosaki's work. He has his own agenda. However, finance is such an integral part of the adult life for which we are supposed to be preparing students, we need to get serious about including it in the curriculum.
*Robert Kiyosaki spelled out his curriculum in chapter 12 of his new online book. The chapter did not exist when I first wrote the post, and the link is now broken. | 2018/07/23 04:10:28 | https://schoolcrossing.blogspot.com/2009/07/ | mC4 | en |
Sometimes Magic Just Works: 4 Q&As about my WIP | A Frame Around Infinity
Sometimes Magic Just Works: 4 Q&As about my WIP
Posted on June 2, 2014 by Janna G. Noelle
The Dark Angel Design Company, photography by Lunaesque
Time to talk about my WIP again!
I never used to do this at all, as the thought of giving the dreaded "elevator pitch" makes my stomach churn like too much greasy pizza too close to bedtime.
But like anything bearing the label "dreaded", said dread is usually lessened over time through devoting regular thought and effort to improving at the task at hand.
In other words, I need to practice pitching and promoting myself more.
Which is why, when tagged by my blog-buddy Eric J. Baker, to answer four questions about my WIP as part of the Writing Process Blog Tour, and I agreed to participate.
The four questions are thus as follows:
The Hostage, by Edmund Leighton (1852-1922). The visual inspiration for my WIP.
Earlier this year, I tried my hand at writing a summary for my WIP, which I posted on my "About my novel-in-progress" page on this site.
However, according to a post on creating loglines at the blog Writers in the Storm (linked in Eric's Writing Process Blog Tour post), a logline is a synopsis of your novel of only 25 words.
I have one word extra, but here's what I came up with (with thanks to Eric for advice and revision):
In Medieval England, a knight's daughter employs political dexterity, witchery, and treachery to escape her abusive father, and discovers the true meaning of loyalty and duty.
I've been working on this project for a few years now. I was hoping to have the first draft finished by my birthday last year, however, the story has grown in the telling.
Having already once grown from one book to two, I recently concluded, upon reaching the milestone of page 400 in book 2 and still having another 100 or so pages to go, that I am, in fact, writing a trilogy.
Good things, it's said, come in threes. I sure hope that is true!
As a work of historical fiction, my novel takes place in 13th century England (i.e. Medieval) whereas much of what I see published these days deals with the 16th century (which is actually the Tudor period).
Also different is that I have no main characters who are actual personages from history, for I'm more interested in making a main character of the historical era, which is best allowed to shine when not paired with someone from history whose life is already well-known.
It also contains magic realism since, in its earliest iteration, it was a fantasy story, and some fantasy-ish elements of that just worked within the context of 13th-century superstitions and historical fiction in general.
I write historical fiction and fantasy-ish things for two main reasons.
The first is because I was raised on the stuff, and it's romanticized (mis)representation of flowing dresses, swords and chivalry, unspoiled nature, localized evil, and idealistic heroism has infected in brain like those alien earworms from Star Trek II.
That is to say, because I love it.
The second reason is to make a more palatable statement about aspects of modern life that I dislike, most of which have their origins in ancient history since we humans seem to like recycling the same societal mistakes over and over again.
For example: I can (and do) comment about modern-day violence against women through examining over the course of my novel's plot, the effects of the Medieval belief that "Provided he neither kills nor maims her, it is legal for a man to beat his wife when she wrongs him", and "A good woman and a bad one equally require the stick."
I like using history to draw these parallels as a way of (hopefully) bringing awareness to issues that matter to me.
My current writing process (for I'm fully open to the possibility that it might someday change) is as follows:
I outline, both to get a basic sense how I want the story to progress and because, though I write in linear fashion, ideas occur to me from all points in the story, and I don't want to forget them. I'm not opposed to deviating from my outline. In fact, I pretty much expect it
I write in the evening after supper. I always unplug my modem while doing to so to prevent internet distractions.
I try to think about what I'm going to write that night during the day, perhaps emailing myself a few sentence starters or key points from work to help get me going. (At work, I'm actually one of my most frequently emailed contacts.)
I tend to fuss over my writing at a sentence level. I'm very particular about word choice and rhythm, and, at least for this project, have decided to spend the time upfront determining the correct words and flow rather than using placeholders and trying to figure out what I actually meant during revision.
I always write the most just before its time to stop writing; I start slowly but finish strong.
Overall, I'm slow and my first drafts go long. My name is Janna G. Noelle, and I'm a writer.
The three people I'm going to tag to answer the same four questions (and it's entirely up to them if they choose to participate or not) are Dianne Gray, Kay Camden, and Ciara Darren.
Writers: What are you currently working on? What's your WIPs logline (a summary of approximately 25 words)? Readers: What's the logline of a book you love? Let me know in the comments.

Your WIP sounds really interesting. I love fantasy but have never read much historical fiction but it would be interesting to read how you have combined the two. Good luck with your ongoing draft 🙂
on June 2, 2014 at 6:56 pm
Hi Laura, thanks for the comment. I love both fantasy and historical fiction. I think they ended up conjoined in my story because I secretly believe the past was more magical (and thereby even cooler than what we learn in school!) 🙂
on June 2, 2014 at 4:15 pm
I also find it very difficult to write a synopsis of my novels in 25 words! It's a nightmare! 😉
I loved reading this, particularly your writing process. You're far more organised than I am. Having said that I really related to this line – "I always write the most just before its time to stop writing; I start slowly but finish strong" 😀
Thank you for tagging me here, I'll try to participate, but can't promise because I'm flat out with the house, the new novel and some books I'm preparing for my daughter's wedding. I need more hours in the day 😉
on June 2, 2014 at 6:58 pm
It is a nightmare, Dianne. I'm still not happy with what I've come up with, but for now I'll focus on just getting the novel(s) done!
I know you've got a lot going on, but hopefully you can find the time to answer the meme. There are lots of people eager to know about your forthcoming work and your work habits (I know I am!) 🙂
on June 2, 2014 at 5:45 pm
You have to climb to the top of the mountain and sing out about novel. There's to much competition out there to be humble. If you are apologetic, people will assume you have a reason to be.
on June 2, 2014 at 7:00 pm
I'll sing so loud and proud, I'll cause an avalanche!
on June 3, 2014 at 9:21 am
Whoa, what? Me? Little ol' me?
I'm so on this, Janna, but give me a day or two…
on June 3, 2014 at 1:16 pm
Yeah! Tell the world about your work! 🙂

I'm eagerly awaiting reading your epic Janna, though it seems a little way off yet. A couple of observations/questions on writing historically if I may.
1. Would you not say that in the 13c there are very few characters who are known to us in great detail. Would this not give scope for some creative, maybe mischievous, speculation? (Author/blogger Naomi Baltuck had King Harold escaping the battlefield, reappearing to lead the Saxons).
2. I read somewhere recently (quite possibly you said this!) that the common idea of chivalry towards women in medieval times is completely wrong. OK if you were a high-born lady or princess, but generally women were abysmally treated. Do you have a view on this?
on June 3, 2014 at 1:48 pm
I promise, Roy, it will be worth the wait, but patience is definitely a virtue when it comes to my writing (both for me in finishing it and anyone wanting to read it).
1. I agree, a lot more has been made in mainstream media (books, TV, etc.) of, say, King Henry VIII's court (16c) vs. that of King John (13c). However, I've always been less interested in historical figures than the societies that gave rise to them, of which they are irrevocably a product. My novel does involve the actions of a few key people (King John, William Marshal, a few important magnate the average person may or may not be familiar with), but none of them receive any "screen time", which was a deliberate choice.
2. Absolutely agree! The notion of chivalry was largely a literary genre (literary as in poems, ballads, songs, etc.) from France kind of like how YA dystopian is a modern genre. It had its various genre conventions and its "fandom" for lack of better term, but wasn't reflective of real life at all. A woman was the property of a man – either her fathers, husband, or whatever other man held the burden of her care (which could be bought and sold like a commodity) – and had very few rights under the law against abuse and neglect. Her only real salvation was if husband happened to be kind (most men weren't known to be especially kind in the Middle Ages, at least not publicly) or if he died in battle, although that came with a host of other problems and challenges.
I discuss the treatment of women quite a bit in my novel.

You whetted my appetite for your book in a previous post, and now you're doing it again. I especially look forward to your commentary on modern issues, costumed in their roots at a centuries-old setting.
I can't imagine how you can "spend the time up front." I dump my words, trying to keep up with my thoughts. Later, I assemble and tailor it.
If you would like more practice pitching and promoting yourself, I would like to offer you an opportunity to participate in the Meet My Main Character Blog Tour. I received an invitation, and will respond in one week. Please let me know whether you would like me to include you in my response.

What can I say, Grace – I always have an ulterior motive for writing what I write! 😉
Spending the time up front is the only way I know how to write at the present time. My ideas aren't occurring to me fast enough to dump out, so I'm making a point of saying what I actually mean in this draft. In subsequent drafts, I'll ensure that I actually mean what I say.
Thanks for the invitation. A couple weeks ago, I would have said yes, but my last two posts have been included overviews of my WIP, so I feel I should now give that a break for a little while until I'm closer to actually being finished. It's purely a matter of timing.
BUT, I'm definitely interested in checking out some of the entries of this blog tour, yours included. I presume it's geared toward historical fiction only? I'm always keen to meet other writers of that genre. What historical era do you write about?
on June 9, 2014 at 4:59 pm
I appreciate the effort you are putting in to ensuring that your readers will get what you mean to say. I would like to try on your brain some time, to see what it's like to have one that thinks sensibly, instead of one that swooshes with oceanic waves. 🙂
Thank you for considering my offer, Janna. I understand the need to pace oneself and let go of opportunities, knowing that more opportunities are coming.
Tune in on Monday June 16 for my episode of the Blog Tour.

What materials can a CO2 laser mark and engrave? Wood, paper, glass, acrylic, leather and stone? Check. What about marking and engraving metal, such as stainless steel, aluminum, copper, nickel and brass? While under normal circumstances you would need a fiber laser to affect those materials, there is a remarkable product to treat metals for engraving with a CO2 laser called Cermark.
Cermark is an easy way to enable permanent laser marking and engravings to all of these surfaces and more. This is done by glazing the surface of the metal (or other material) with a special chemical coating that can be affected by the laser and then cleaned of, leaving a brilliant mark.
You can purchase Cermark as a paint, tape or spray, which you then apply to the surface of your material. Once dry, you simply engrave your design as normal (or use these guidelines). Once the engraving is complete, you clean off the excess cermark with water and a nylon scrub brush and you are done! Cermark comes exclusively from Johnson Plastics, who make other specialized materials for laser cutting, such as their line of Rowmark products.

LGO - Ombudsman's annual review highlights concerns about quality of homecare | Wired-GOV Newswire (news from other organisations) | Official Press Release
Thursday 10 Nov 2016 @ 11:30
LGO - Ombudsman's annual review highlights concerns about quality of homecare
The Local Government Ombudsman (LGO) has seen a 25 per cent rise in complaints about the home care received by some of the most vulnerable people in England over the past year.
The statistic is just one of the findings included in the LGO's Review of Adult Social Care Complaints 2015/16, which is issued today.
Complaints about home care received by the Ombudsman include care workers being late for or missing appointments, not staying long enough and not doing what they should – including not treating people with the dignity they deserve.
Of those complaints the Ombudsman investigated in detail, 65% were upheld, which is 7% higher than for Adult Social Care complaints in total. The data also reveals those people receiving care in their own home are less likely to be supported by a representative when making a complaint than those living in residential care.
Dr Jane Martin, Local Government Ombudsman said:
"Our complaints show that for people receiving care in their homes, it's often the little things that mean so much to them in maintaining their dignity, independence and a good quality of life. Consistency of care is vital to those who rely on these services.
"We recognise the sector's work signposting people to us may have had an impact on the number of complaints we received. However, we are still upholding nearly two thirds of home care complaints. This is too many.
"With seemingly less access to advocacy than people in residential care, there may be further people suffering in silence at home. So we continue to encourage those providing and arranging social care to think about their own complaints procedures and ensure they are as accessible and accountable as they can be."
During the year the LGO received a six per cent increase in complaints and enquiries about all areas of Adult Social Care (to 2,969). It upheld 58% of all cases investigated in detail, increased from 55% on the previous year. The LGO has also seen:
21% increase in complaints and enquiries about care arranged privately with independent providers (self-funded care)
19% increase in the number of independent providers about whom it has received a complaint
70% of detailed investigations upheld about care planning - the area with the most significant uphold rate
assessment and care planning remains the most complained about area, with 600 complaints and enquiries received
As the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman, the LGO looks at all types of complaints about adult social care, regardless of whether the local authority is involved. The report has analysed its complaints from 2015-2016, and the trends and patterns the organisation has observed. It also provides data for every English local authority and registerable independent care provider about which it has received a complaint. | 2018/02/24 09:58:27 | https://www.wired-gov.net/wg/news.nsf/articles/LGO+Ombudsmans+annual+review+highlights+concerns+about+quality+of+homecare+10112016113000?open | mC4 | en |
I consider myself to be a rather big fan of Quentin Tarantino. Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, and Jackie Brown all have their place on my list of favorite movies. I am disheartened to announce, then, that Inglourious Basterds is without a doubt Mr. Tarantino’s worst film.
By no means does this mean it’s a bad film, it just lacks that all-important vibe of urgency and humanity that brings his other genre pieces to such vivid, unmistakable life. Is it cool? Sure. Is it entertaining? You bet your ass it is. But it just doesn’t resonate. I watched it in the theater and then kind of forgot about it until it was coming out on DVD. It’s like Avatar in that way. I liked it, but I won’t remember it.
Where does this movie succeed? For one, it’s a Tarantino film, so the dialogue is better than pretty much anything written this year besides A Serious Man. He’s most likely going to take home the Best Original Screenplay Oscar, and he deserves it. Every one of his screenplays has deserved a nomination, but Pulp Fiction is the only one to take home the trophy.
This is the most successful Tarantino film any way you look at it, with eight Academy Award nominations and a 120 million dollar box office gross. This was the Tarantino movie for people who don’t like any of his other movies.
What’s the reason for that? Well, I could say any number of things, from the brutal action sequences to the charming humor, but Kill Bill had both of those. What that movie didn’t have was Brad Pitt. If this movie didn’t have him wearing a mustache and talking in some weird Southern accent, all the average Joes who relate to him would’ve stayed away.
Pitt isn’t bad in the movie, it’s just he is to it what Sandra Bullock is to The Blind Side. For real acting of a scarily good caliber, look no further than the Oscar nominated performance of Christoph Waltz. As Colonel Hans Landa, nicknamed “The Jew Hunter,” Waltz brings one of the deepest, most unique Tarantino characters to life.
The opening scene alone, with Landa entering the home of someone suspected of hiding Jews and interrogating them, sums up not only his great acting talent, but the success of the movie as a whole. Tarantino’s writing and directing perfectly mesh with Waltz’s calm, yet vicious characterization, weaving in and out of language with the camera tightening around the two as if air was being forced out of the room. It walks the high-wire of suspense-via-dialogue and succeeds admirably, thanks to Waltz. He’ll win the Best Supporting Actor trophy, and he should.
The rest of the cast is a mixed bag. Mélanie Laurent succeeds as Shoshanna Dreyfus, a Jewish woman who plans to lure all of the Nazis into her theater for a big premiere and burn it down with them in it. Laurent gives the movie a much-needed dose of humanity.
Diane Kruger also scores a knockout as undercover actress Bridget von Hammersmark. The 30-minute scene in the pub is a great showcase for her talents, as is her scene with Landa at the big movie premiere.
Eli Roth gives the worst performance of the movie as The Bear Jew. He delivers his lines with a whiny tone and amateurism that renders his character totally unbelievable. He was so unbearable that he took away from every scene he was in. Saying he should stay behind the camera would be an understatement, but he’s not really that great at that either.
In all, I would count this film as a success. A flawed, overwrought success with too many characters and not enough good ones. However, Tarantino knows how to direct a movie with style and substance, and with the help of the great Christoph Waltz his movie entertains and comes to life.

Waltz has this in the bag, and that is totally awesome. Would love to see it at least win Original Screenplay, too. Who am I kidding, I’d love to see it sweep the whole damn show, but such is life. One day Tarantino will get his due, great to see him back as a writer.

Yeah I’d like to see Waltz win, and I wouldn’t mind an Original Screenplay win for Tarantino. I just feel like he should’ve won Best Picture for any of his other movies, but I guess if they want to pull a Kate Winslet and give him Best Picture I wouldn’t be that against it.

Tarantino has done way worse than this in my opinion. “Reservoir Dogs” and “Pulp Fiction” still top my list, but “Inglourious Basterds” is duking it out with “Kill Bill, Vol. 1” for third place. “Basterds” was crazy and overlong and messy, but I found it to be a beautiful mess. Plus, the movie contains the best character I believe Tarantino has EVER written, Col. Hans Landa.
Like Aiden, I was decidedly pissed when it didn’t win Best Screenplay. The Academy continues its long and studied career of Tarantino hating. Grr.

British airways 777-200 club world seat map - British Airways Club World 777-200 - YouTube
These Routes Will Have The New British Airways Club Suites.
British Airways is planning to drop first class from a portion of its 777 fleet. A BA presentation (PDF, p.86) notes that the conversion from four classes to three classes on the Heathrow 777-200ER fleet will result in 25% more seats over all.Also, the Gatwick 777-200 fleet will see some Club World seats removed to better suit the largely leisure markets operated from London's second airport.
The best seats in Club World business class on British.
British Airways 777-200 aircraft offer Club World passengers a 72" seat pitch, with 20" width, configured 2-4-2, although with partitions between the two seats on the window side of the aisles, and between the aisle seats and 2 middle seats in the center block. This makes the 2 middle seats ideal for couples traveling together and highly unsuitable for single passengers, since the enclosed.The British Airways 777 seat plan has four cabins, with First Class in the nose, with the latest style of seats. The middle cabin is occupied by Business Class - all 14F variants now have the latest Next Generation Club World, with half of the seats facing backwards. The British Airways Boeing 777 seating plan for the 14F version has five rows of Premium Economy (only 11 aircraft have new.Avoid the 2019 BA densified 777 -10 abreast configuration especially the last row - Row 40 - none of the 4 seats in this row recline! For the 8 hour flight I just did from Barbados to London Gatwick in seat 40G these seats are a nightmare! You are left sitting bolt upright, unable to recline and feeling very claustrophobic with your knees up against the seats in front and your face about 12.
Answer 1 of 43: My husband and I are flying British Airways Club World (Business Class) from Denver to Heathrow. It's a 777-200 4-class plane. Do you recommend the 2 middle seats in the center facing backwards (E-F) or the yin-yang seats at the window? Any.British Airways currently alternates between a 777-200 and a 747-400 on the Dallas to London route. I have nostalgic love for the 747 and it's upper deck Club World cabin offers more privacy than the 777.

British Airways's Club World, on paper, has everything that you could want in an international business class product. Indeed, you'll get a lie-flat seat no matter where you fly and you can indulge in meals from a newly upgraded menu. Its cabin crews manning the galleys are efficient, and any amenity you could want is never too far away. Club World definitely looks good, but in practice.

However this was actually my first time on the 787-9 with the newest variant of the seat. British Airways have divided up the front section of the 787-9 between doors 1 and 2, in to two. The first half contains two rows of first class in a 1-2-1 configuration with the second part of the cabin being two rows of Club World in a 2-3-2 configuration. Most airlines can get 30 seats of 1-2-1.

This set came as quite a shock. Italeri had long established a reputation for producing sets with a good range of high quality figures. Then suddenly, these Romans arrived.
These figures are not bad, in fact they are excellent. But just look at what you get in a box. One each of the signifer, cornucen, centurion and mounted officer. Then one of the man with the sword, and 15 of each of the two spearmen. It's not as if either of these poses lends itself to mass ranks of troops in similar pose - both appear to be in open single combat. The second pose is of a man defending himself from above - presumably from arrows, or perhaps a mounted opponent - which is a valid pose but hardly one to use if only two are being offered in total. Why there are so few poses, and so many of just two, is a mystery, but it was not well received by the buying public.
Leaving the numbers issue aside, the box tells us these legionnaires are first to second century BCE (that should be second to first, guys!). The appearance of the legionnaire changed very gradually through this period, and these figures seem most appropriate for the mid first century BCE. They wear an all mail shirt, which would have been quite an expensive item at the start of the Punic Wars, but was universal and supplied by the state by the end of the second century BCE. This is properly done apart from the yoke at the back of the shoulders, which is missing in all cases. Every man has a belt completely covered by engraved metal plates, which certainly happened, but was probably nowhere near as universal as suggested by this set. The men also sport the montefortino helmet, popular throughout this period, but it would have been decorated with three feathers early on and only with the horsehair plume by the beginning of the first century BCE. The oval shields, which attach moderately well on pegs on the arms, are correct, but would have been undecorated until the last quarter of this period. Sources suggest the men would sometimes have worn greaves on their front leg, but none of these figures have one. The two poses that form the bulk of this set both have their sword sheathed, but one has his on the left hip when it should be high on the right hip like his comrade. Finally, the men have separate spears supplied in two forms, the light javelin (or socketed pilum) and the famous heavy pilum.
Though the poses are few, the sculpting and detail are first class, as you might expect from Italeri. The detail is excellent and the proportions and general sculpting style very good indeed. Having separate shields makes for far better figures, yet these fix quite well so do not present the problems seen in some sets (such as the Airfix Romans). The separate weapons are equally well fitting, and beautifully elegant and detailed, but without the bulky ring hand sometimes seen on such figures. The command figures are just superb - little masterpieces in their own right, and even the horse is well done and realistic in anatomy and pose. We found absolutely no flash anywhere, and the design of the figures means there is no unwanted extra plastic, so these are certainly great figures.
Modern knowledge of Roman arms and armour, and particularly when a particular style came and went, is far from complete, but these figures are representative of the later republican period. With the addition of a few more poses that could have been used to produce the formations that made the Romans so formidable, this set would have been excellent. As it is, it's a missed opportunity and one that is hard to understand.

May 2021 | Friends Capital Mortgage Specialists
This week, mortgage interest rates have fallen below 1%. Homeowners in England could reduce their monthly costs by comparing their mortgage rate, to ensure they are on the best rate possible.
Those who are on a variable rate could make further savings as they are likely to pay even larger sums for their mortgage and can take advantage of these low interest rates.
Those that are approaching the end of their fixed rate mortgage should start comparing rates six months early due to delays and pressure on banks and mortgage advisors because of the pandemic. If they don't, they may find themselves in a position where they are paying much higher monthly rates.
Friends Capital Director, Paul Hancock, says "All property owners should urgently check their current mortgage rates. As interest rates have dropped to an all time low of below 1%, you could save thousands of pounds by switching providers or negotiating a better deal".
However, property owners need to act quick as interest rates can change daily and you may miss out. If you give Friends Capital a call, we will compare the rates for you and offer a free no obligation quote."
Paul goes on to offer further advice on reducing your mortgage rates. He states "If you've put money away during the pandemic, putting it towards your mortgage could save you thousands of pounds by reducing your loan to value ratio."
If you are looking to compare your mortgage rates, Friends Capital offer a free consultation where you can receive a free, no obligation quote based on your circumstances. | 2022/05/21 12:41:07 | https://friendscapital.co.uk/2021/05/ | mC4 | en |
Dialysis Patient Safety Act Clears Next Hurdle in CA State Senate - UNAC/UHCP

The Dialysis Patient Safety Act (SB 349), introduced by State Senator Ricardo Lara and sponsored by UNAC/UHCP, a union of RNs and health care professionals, and SEIU UHW, a health care tech workers' union, would establish caregiver-to-patient ratios and mandate safe transition times so equipment can be fully cleaned of blood and fluids between patients to prevent the spread of life-threatening infections. | 2018/11/16 05:53:27 | http://www.unacuhcp.org/dialysis-patient-safety-act-clears-next-hurdle-in-ca-state-senate/ | mC4 | en |

April 3, 2015 April 4, 2015 / Leah / 1 Comment
In 2011, God was silent. I didn't stop believing, but I was numb. Numb like cold fingers in the middle of winter: on the brink of frostbite. I was terrified of losing the religion, the community, and the language of faith that had been central to my life as a child and young adult.

Hinojosa Rewards Giants
Hinojosa Rewards Giants
Few players see their draft stock ebb and flow from high school to college quite like C.J. Hinojosa.
A star shortstop at Klein Collins High in Spring, Texas, Hinojosa drew some early-rounds draft buzz in 2012. But he was so determined to attend Texas and play for Longhorns coach Augie Garrido that he tried to graduate a semester early.
Overwhelmed by an intense course load, Hinojosa abandoned his plan, but when Klein Collins coach Miguel Castro got wind of it, he kicked Hinojosa off the team.
Hinojosa mended fences with Castro and finished his prep career, but his senior season was largely a washout after he elected to have surgery on his left shoulder, saying too many dives for ground balls left the shoulder weak.
An Astros team doctor performed the surgery on Hinojosa, and not surprisingly, the Astros drafted the Houston native in the 26th round in 2012, knowing he probably would not turn pro so that he could honor his commitment--and to be drafted much higher three years later.
That did happen, but it wasn't a feel-good story. Hinojosa was a star for the Longhorns in their 2014 College World Series run, but his offensive production and defensive reputation suffered during his three seasons at Texas.
He led the Longhorns with 17 errors in 2014, and his .242/.321/.403 batting line in 2015 was worst among Texas regulars. Scouts were bearish about Hinojosa's pro future, projecting him as a below-average hitter with just fringe-average range.
Still, the Giants--who have had success with undervalued college players and Texas position players, such as Brandon Belt--liked the athleticism and selected Hinojosa in the 11th round of the 2015 draft. After a solid pro debut in which he hit .296 with power at short-season Salem-Keizer, he has rewarded the Giants with a breakout 2016 at high Class A San Jose.
Through 32 games, Hinojosa batted .339/.428/.466 with as many walks (19) as strikeouts (19). He ranked second in the California League in average and on-base percentage, while his strikeout rate (14.8 percent) stood as one of the lowest in the league.
Giants general manager Bobby Evans said the team was comfortable with where it took Hinojosa.
"When you're in the middle of the draft, clubs are offering projections, but they're also looking at guys in comparison to one another," Evans said. "We liked him pretty good if we took him in the 11th round, and certainly it was a great pick for us.
"His athleticism and arm strength . . . from the day we got him, we felt like this was a guy who could move quickly.
Evans applauded Hinojosa for refining his hitting approach.
"Even though he's not one of the fastest guys, his athleticism and tools, as well as the ability to make adjustments . . . that's reflective of the athlete he is," Evans said.
Hinojosa's performance doesn't completely surprise San Jose manager Lipso Nava.
"The profile doesn't quite fit for a pro," Nava said of the 5-foot-10, 175-pound Hinojosa. "But Dustin Pedroia was an underachiever type, and look what's he done in the big leagues."
Rumors about Hinojosa's makeup dogged him before the 2015 draft, but Nava said that's not the player he's seen in his clubhouse.
"I think so," Nava said when asked if Hinojosa had matured. "He's pesky, a grinder--that type (of player). He's a guy who will play hard and never complain. He's been a great citizen."
The major difference for Hinojosa, Nava said, was that the he has shown great aptitude.
"He can quickly apply what he learns on the field," Nava said. "He understands the game and can translate that to what's going on right now.
"He looks like a guy who's been in the game for a while. He's been able to recognize pitchers' weaknesses and apply the adjustments."
Another evaluator who saw Hinojosa said the shortstop projects as a tick above-average hitter with a line drive-oriented swing. There's some pop in his bat, but he has a tick below-average power. He profiles as a utility player, but the evaluator believes he could reach the majors that way.
"He still has to go out and prove what he is," he said.
Nava is optimistic that Hinojosa will.
"Life gives you chances and opportunities," Nava said. "Life teaches you lessons every day. He goes about his business and his main goal is to make it big."
With a crowded catcher depth chart and no roster spot for Erik Kratz, the Brewers found a way to turn their unlikely 2018 playoff hero into a prospect. | 2022/06/25 13:18:57 | https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/hinojosa-rewards-giants/ | mC4 | en |
The gestures associated with pride seem simple enough, but you need to be careful because there are other emotions that can have similar features. In this article I will give some tips on how to spot true pride.
Signals that demonstrate pride can also be seen in a person experiencing simple satisfaction. The two emotions are not the same at all, but the body language is similar. Also, hubris can have many of the same characteristics.
Curiously, the gestures for contempt are very close to those of pride, so you need to be a bit careful.
Let’s pick apart the specific gestures and see if we can isolate those that are most associated with pride as opposed to other emotions.
Chin
The most important part of the body associated with pride is the chin. When a person is proud, the angle of the chin will be up. The head is generally slightly backward but vertical from side to side and not tilted at all. If the chin is down, then you may be looking at satisfaction rather than pride.
The mouth
A person experiencing pride will have a slight smile associated with a symmetrical pulling back of both cheeks. If only one cheek is pulled back then the smile is gone, and the gesture is probably that of contempt or distrust as opposed to pride.
This would be like the famous gesture of “unimpressed” that McKayla Maroney made while receiving the Silver Medal in gymnastics in 2012 and later mimicked with President Obama, as in the attached photo.
Eyes and gaze
A person who is proud will have a fixed gaze and make good eye contact with the person he is facing. Someone experiencing hubris may have more shifty eyes indicating lack of confidence. With pride, the eyes will be relaxed and steady, but that can also be said of someone experiencing satisfaction.
Eyebrows
When a person is expressing pride, the eyebrows are relaxed and not furrowed at all. Pride carries a connotation of confidence and sometimes even dominance, so there is no indication of worry or stress in the eyebrows, as would be the case with hubris.
Shoulders
A person demonstrating pride will not be slouched over. His shoulders will be erect and slightly back. The back will be arched. Pride often reflects a kind of military stance that is often seen with service members on the assembly field. Similarly, if a proud person is seated, his back will be straight and his shoulders held high with no sign of a slouch.
Hands and arms
With many emotions, the hands are somehow involved touching various areas of the face or head. Pride rarely calls for interaction between the head and the extremities. It would be unusual to see a person who is feeling pride holding his jaw or putting his finger in front of his mouth.
What to do
When you see a person showing body language signals reflecting pride, the first thing to do is see if you can, if need be, through dialog, uncover the source of the pride. Quite often, when a person is experiencing pride it is pretty obvious why that is the case. You can make an affirming statement or gesture indicating you agree with the person’s right to be proud and endorse that emotion. That gesture of support will tend to enhance the trust between you both.
The only caveat here is that if you support the person’s pride, it needs to be genuine. If you are putting on an act to avoid conflict, then the other person is likely to detect that, and you will do damage to the relationship.
On the other hand, you may feel that pride is not warranted in this situation. That becomes a delicate situation, because there is lack of agreement that the person should be proud.
In our highly polarized society, there can be disconnects between the way two people will view an issue, so it is important that if you detect this is the case to proceed with caution. An open discussion may draw out the true source of pride and whether it is false pride. It could also mean that you did not understand the background well enough so you felt the person didn’t have a right to be proud when he really did. Either clarify the disconnect, or it may be a good strategy to agree to disagree on this particular issue.
Conclusion
Pride is rather easy to spot when you see it, but you need to be careful because several other emotions have some of the same characteristics. Whether it is true pride or something else, an appropriate response is important. This brief article attempted to sort out a few key differences.

Body Language 69 Worried
February 28, 2020
Did you ever stop and think how you can tell if a person is worried by his or her body language? Actually, there are several gestures that are indicative of a person who is anxious or worried.
A worried person will often wring his hands together. Usually the person is not even aware he is doing it, but when you see that kind of nervous rubbing the palms together, you should look for more clues to see if the person is truly worried.
Often a worried person will bite the side of one lower lip. A person biting the center of the lower lip is usually trying to keep from speaking, but if she is biting the side of her lip, it normally means worry. She may also bite a finger as shown in the attached picture.
See if you observe a “far away” or “absent” look in the eyes. A worried person is thinking thoughts of bad things that could happen, so the focus on current activities or people is often not very strong. Also, watch the eyebrows to see if they are pulled to the center or slightly raised. Look for the appearance of two vertical lines above the bridge of the nose.
A worried person will often fidget and shift weight a lot while sitting. It is a nervous habit that takes hold involuntarily. He may massage his temples as if he is trying to focus his thoughts on a problem. He may fold his hands as if in prayer or even put his palms together and touch his lips with the tips of his fingers. All these gestures are meant to help the person focus on the problem at hand.
When you see a person exhibiting a cluster of these gestures, you can be pretty sure he or she is worried about something. You may be able to help by asking an open ended question or two. Just recognize that the person may not want to verbalize the root cause of her anxiety. In that case, the best you can do is be supportive of the person and let her know you are there for her when she wants to talk about it.
In a work setting, there are numerous triggers that can cause anxiety. The most significant trigger is worry that the person’s reputation has been damaged, which can cause all kinds of stress at work. The person may even be anxious about losing her employment.
If she is agreeable to dialog about her feelings, try to uncover the source of her anxiety. She may feel that her boss has soured on her, or it might be an interpersonal issue with another worker. It could be that she is way behind on an important project or feels she might be in danger of losing a customer.
One particularly tricky situation is when a person is anxious but has no idea why. It is just a general uneasiness that is distracting to the person. Again, if the person will chat about it, you may be able to help draw out the source. That is what friends and associates are for.
We all experience worry at certain points in our professional and personal lives. If we are aware of the physical signs pointing to this emotion, we can help each other at a critical time. We can also help ourselves by observing our own behavior and be more conscious of our emotions so we have the opportunity to take corrective measures sooner.

Body Language 46 Clenched Teeth
September 21, 2019
The gesture of clenching teeth is well known and seems very simple. It is a way to show anger or aggression. As with many gestures, the more you think about and study it, the more interesting it becomes.
For sure, the classic meaning of clenched teeth is similar to what a dog does when it growls and shows its teeth. It is a warning sign to back off or risk being hurt.
Let’s look at some alternative meanings and also some of the collateral facial signs that go along with clenching teeth.
Struggle or annoyance
You might observe a man clenching his teeth when he is trying to put up a tent in the rain. Here, there is no other person to whom hostility can be directed, but still there is a struggle.
You might also observe a woman clenching her teeth when she receives the third unwanted robocall this hour interrupting her work each time. In this case, it is a system annoyance that is causing exasperation within the woman. She is not really angry at the specific person on the phone.
Tension, worry, or pain
It is common to see students waiting to take a final exam with clenched teeth. There is no anger involved, but there is real anxiety.
A person waiting in a hospital emergency room for test results to come back might have clenched teeth. I will confess to being an example of that last spring when I had a kidney stone.
Signal to back off
Here the person just wants space or time to sort things out. If he is feeling pressure, he may clench his teeth to signal the other person to back off and give some time.
On the playground, if one child is feeling bullied and wants the other kid to go away, the clenched teeth might signal that. Also, clenched teeth might be used by the bully in an attempt to intimidate the other kids.
Talking through your teeth
When a person is extremely angry, he or she may talk through clenched teeth. This person is trying to signal how upset he or she is at the moment.
Habitual facial posture
Many people grind their teeth while asleep and need to wear protective devices to keep them from wearing down their teeth. The habit is involuntary and is not associated with any particular stimulus.
Collateral facial indications
Often when a person clenches his teeth, his jaw muscle pops out and becomes round and red. I noticed this in a former supervisor of mine. I could always tell when he was clenching his jaw by looking at that muscle.
Flared nostrils along with clenched teeth is a likely sign of anger. Also, the temples often bulge when teeth are clenched.
All of these ideas are pretty well known, but it still remains for you to figure out the specific reason a person is clenching his or her teeth. Try to look for the collateral facial signals to develop a cluster. That verification will greatly enhance the accuracy of your understanding.

Rusnano Ups Stake in Polus
State nanotechnology corporation Rusnano has taken up an option to buy 10 percent of U.S. laser producer IPG Photonics' local subsidiary NTO IRE-Polus, IPG Photonics said. The deal took place in June and was worth $20 million.
Rusnano bought 12.5 percent of NTO IRE-Polus in late 2010 and obtained the option to buy another 12.5 percent for $25 million over five years if certain financial indicators were achieved. Rusnano still has the option to buy another 2.5 percent for $5 million.
Massachusetts-based IPG Photonics was founded by a group of Russian scientists led by Valentin Gapontsev. It has production facilities in the United States, Germany and Russia. President Dmitry Medvedev in August 2010 appointed Gapontsev, president and board chairman of IPG, to the Skolkovo Scientific Advisory Council. | 2021/07/24 04:36:10 | https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2011/08/09/rusnano-ups-stake-in-polus-a8807 | mC4 | en |

During the month of August, children go free to a massive range of participating theatre shows, when accompanied by a paying adult. There are further free events and workshops on offer- just check out www.kidsweek.co.uk!
Fancy learning tennis for free? TFF offer 50 weeks of free tennis lessons to children and young people across the UK. They work with schools and local authorities to promote the benefits of playing tennis, and their website offers access to information on free tennis courts, tennis equipment and coaching across the country.

INSIDE
If it's raining going to the cinema is a good option.
Vue Cinemas have children's films showing on Saturdays and Sundays and every day in the school holidays for just £1.50 per child (one adult per child goes free, 3D films are £2.75). Odeon Kids shows films on Saturdays and Saturdays and many also run them in the school holidays from £2.50 (one adult per child goes free again). Meanwhile, Cineworld runs Movies For Juniors at many of its cinemas on Saturday and Sunday mornings (it hasn't extended this to school holidays), where adults and children pay £1 apiece.
FOR THE YOUNGER ONES
Junk Modelling: Get hold of old cereal/egg boxes etc and make something. All you need is glue, paint and a vivid imagination.
Photo Shoot: Get the kids to dress up and model for a photo shoot. They can use dressing up stuff, their own clothes or even mum and dads clothes!
Indoor hunt: Devise an indoor treasure hunt. You can be as elaborate as you like either hiding rhyming clues around the house leading to one another and the eventual prize or a simple treasure hunt idea is to mark wooden pegs with different coloured dots and peg around the house. Each coloured dot equals a different number of points and the child with the most points wins a prize (or everyone who gets over a certain number wins a prize).
Make instruments: Make your own instruments. Tissue boxes and elastic bands make good guitars, paper plates with milk bottle tops make tambourines and dried rice or pasta in bottles or tins make good maracas and shakers. You can even bang pan lids with wooden spoons for drums. Then shake, rattle and roll to some upbeat music! | 2013/06/19 14:19:08 | http://www.closeronline.co.uk/MoneySavvy/DaysOut/entertaining-the-children-during-summer-holidays-on-a-budget.aspx | mC4 | en |
There is something that needs to be said. It’s there in every newsroom from New York to Yuma. It’s not a new problem for sure but let’s call it a new challenge. It can be fixed. But first, it needs to be recognized.
We are asking our broadcast and digital journalists to do something that is killing them from the inside out. We are asking young producers and reporters and photographers and writers and digital storytellers to innovate and fill a bigger news basket and take on more responsibility and do more with less but we are not giving them the professional or emotional tools to help them do it.
For some, it’s their first job. They don’t know how to “live” with their co-workers. They don’t know how to have a professional conversation with their boss. They don’t know how to set boundaries for their work life and professional life. They don’t know how to tell their boss they are exhausted or sick or just confused. They don’t know how to and when to take a risk professionally. They don’t know when to be honest and when to lie. Do any of these questions ring true with you?
If the leaders of news organizations want to find a way to “relate” to the new workers. If they really want to keep good producers and MMJ’s, they need to find a way to answer these questions and give their employees the “feeling” they care. Bosses, or newsroom leaders, are not parents or friends. However, they need to be listeners and “understanders” and “feelers”. They need to recognize when a good producer is ready to burn out and walk out. They need to give their “team” a way to get better and feel better. They need to stoke the passion that is being doused by low pay and long hours and rude demands for more.
The solution is somewhere. Many people are searching for it every day. One station even cancelled its’ newscasts for one day to give employees some “therapy”. What do we need to do to change the way we work and interact and lead so we can minimize the stress and maximize the positive passion for our jobs. Do you just need more money? How about more days off? Would it help if you had some personal coaching or training to help you attack your job and make you stronger?
It’s the “elephant” in our newsrooms. It’s driving good people out of TV and digital journalism. Let’s start listening and we will if you start talking. Answer this question: What would make your happier or more satisfied professionally and personally?

“My Child is Missing”
Most of us who have worked in newsrooms have received the phone call or the email. A mother or father sends a photo with a message, “my child has been missing for two days and I need help to find them”.
What do you do? You ask if they have notified the police. If the answer is no, you ask why? “She went off with her boyfriend after we had a fight and I thought she would be back, but she’s not” and then you roll your eyes and say to yourself, she’s a runaway.
When you hang up the phone or shut down the email, the question is do we run this as a news story? Do we show the photo of the missing girl the parents gave us? What if it’s just a runway or someone taking a long weekend with a boyfriend? The parents are probably over-reacting, right? It is justification to ignore the call or the email, until they find the young woman’s body in a dumpster. THEN, suddenly, it’s a story!
I think local news does this all wrong. I think it’s our job to do more. We need to fight the urge to dismiss these as “boyfriend/girlfriend” fights or arguments with parents. We need to treat them the way we treat Amber Alerts when the child is in danger because there is real danger. Here is my reasoning. If we put a girl’s picture on TV and she is a runaway and someone notices her at a gas station and calls police, there is no harm done. Police will decide if there is something wrong and if not, at least the parents will know their child is OK. Whether someone is a runway or was taken against their will they are still in possible danger, especially if they are under-age.
What better way for local news to serve the community than to alert viewers and get the community to help find them and find out if they are safe. We don’t necessarily need to do this on-the-air in a regular newscast (although it’s not a bad idea). News organizations can use their digital platforms to get the photos and info in the hands of people in the community quickly and efficiently.
I had a running debate with a news director about this concept. He felt that unless the police asked for our help, we should ignore young people who were missing or runaways. I disagreed and still do. There is no greater mission for a local news organization than to keep people safe. I would rather show the picture of a missing girl and find out she was just on a two-day, unauthorized trip with a friend, than to show the picture of a girl who was killed or injured or kidnapped and we ignored the calls for help.
I would love to hear what other journalists think about this and how they handle it.

Every Story is the Same….Really?
I have reported hundreds, maybe thousands, of stories during my career and there is one thing that is the same about all of them. Each one has a universal theme. If you find that universal theme or themes in your stories you can make them more relatable and understandable for the viewer.
I know you need examples, but first let me tell you a story. It’s about a woman who was hoping to see the man she loved, but my attempt to get an exclusive story got in the way.
I covered the John Delorean drug case and a man named Morgan Hetrick was part of it. Hetrick was accused of conspiring with Delorean to import and distribute 220 pounds of cocaine. Hetrick agreed to cooperate with the Feds and got 10 years in prison in Fort Worth, Texas. So, there he sat behind bars and I wanted to talk with him.
I contacted his wife Joyce who was living in Fort Worth. She said Morgan was given the opportunity, occasionally, to be released for a few hours so she could see him. I begged her to let me talk with him during one of those windows of opportunity and she reluctantly agreed. She said if the prison found out, they might cancel the outside visits in the future. I was worried. I was feeling uneasy. Joyce told me she lived for the few hours he was free and they could just take a walk and catch up. I didn’t want to screw this up for them, after all they were cooperating with me and the prosecutors.
I landed in Fort Worth with a photographer and we headed to the prison. We had two hours to wait before he would be released, so we decided to get a few shots of the facility and shoot a stand up or two. When we approached one of the gates and took out our gear, a guard came and asked what we were doing? I just said we were doing a story about an inmate who was involved in the Delorean case. I did not mention Hetrick’s name. He said OK and left.
When it was almost time for Hetrick to leave the prison for his visit with Joyce and our interview, I met her at a Wendy’s just across from the main gate. When I walked up to Joyce she was crying. “What’s wrong?”, I said. She screamed at me, “it’s cancelled”. The tears ran down her cheeks, destroying her makeup. “They told him if a TV crew was going to talk with him, they would not release him to me. What did you tell them?” she demanded. My heart sunk. I hadn’t told them anything. I didn’t use Hetrick’s name. I just said we were doing a story about the Delorean case. Obviously, the prison officials put the pieces together.
I felt horrible. We were going to miss the story and I had, inadvertently, destroyed the arrangement between husband and wife so they could spend time together. The prison, from that moment on, refused to let him have his time away from the institution. I apologized to Joyce and we headed back to the airport. It was a day filled with emotion.
So, what are the universal themes here? Anticipation. Betrayal. Disappointment. Anger. My story had them all. Find these themes and others in your stories. Yes, even a story about a city council decision has universal themes or emotions. Identify them early. Your initial research should give you a hint, but keep your eyes and ears open for them. Every story has them. They all have universal themes that will help you navigate the job of telling the story. Sometimes they change. When a school board votes to close a school or fire a teacher, the mood in the room may change quickly. The theme of your story could be anger or disappointment or it could explode into jubilation! It’s those universal themes that will make your story memorable. Listen for them with your head and your heart and share them with the viewer.

When Your Fingers Betray You
When you put your fingers on your computer keyboard and start typing, your mind does something that will affect the quality of the story you are working on?
Why is it that you can talk with the executive producer and the show producer and tell them about your story, emphasizing all the great sound you have and the unusual twist when you conducted a particular interview and the great video you have, but when you sit down to “write” the piece your mind freezes?
When you start writing, your mind switches from a conversation mode to a reading mode. Your first sentence of the package is right there on your computer screen. You “read” it and not “say” it. You are writing for the eye and not the ear. It’s a trap.
When we talk, we speak in short phrases and hardly ever in complete sentences. We naturally “tease” our listeners when we begin a story or introduce a new twist in an ongoing story. But, when we start writing for the “eye”, we stumble back into using long, complex sentences to try to explain complex ideas. It is hard to record those sentences. They are not pleasant for the ear. They will kill your stories.
Don’t let the keyboard do this to you!
One of the best bits of advice I received from a boss was something he yelled to me across the room. I was sitting at my desk with a deadline approaching and I was frozen with my fingers on the keyboard. WTHR News Director Bill Dean shouted, “Becker get going or you are going to miss your deadline!” I yelled back that I was struggling with lots of information. It was a complicated story about politics and money. He said, “Don’t confuse me with the facts, just tell me the story!” I put down my notebook. Took my fingers off the keyboard and he said, “what’s this story about”? So, I told him. It was brilliant. He said, “now write that down and get in the audio booth”. It needed some polishing, but a complicated story about money and politics was really about the people fighting about it and the neighborhood that would be affected depending on who won. Sure, I included some of the important facts, but it was a “story” and not a “report”.
Don’t let your fingers on that keyboard prevent you from “telling” a good story. Say it out loud if you must, but “say” it don’t write it. Have a conversation with your viewers. Tell them a good story, a true story and an accurate story. But don’t confuse them with the facts. | 2022-12-10T05:02:47Z | http://tvnewsmentor.com/2021/09/ | OSCAR-2301 | en |

I was watching NBC’s Today show this morning with my 3 year old daughter. Legendary singer Lionel Richie was the featured performer. His second song was “Easy” …(Like Sunday Morning) a mega hit from his days in the Commodores. Being the guitarist that I am I grabbed my daughter from her morning play routine and said you have to listen to this guitar solo!
She patiently sat on my lap as I kept telling her here it comes! If you’re not familiar check out the video to hear the solo which starts at 2:47. It’s not the most technically demanding solo but it is iconic.
Back to the story…as my daughter appeases me and waits for the guitar solo that I am building up…Here it comes! Here it comes!
THEY CUT IT OUT!!! What the heck? That’s like peanut butter without jelly, Abbott without Costello, breathing without air!
I need answers, you don’t cut out an iconic guitar solo!! Even my wife knows you don’t get out of the car until the guitar solo is over…I am guessing it was a time thing for the show.
Here is the sadly ironic part, half an hour later they had an extended segment with the most ridiculous looking dude who is a profession air guitarist. | 2022-12-04T01:16:20Z | https://mikeslayen.com/tag/commodores/ | OSCAR-2301 | en |

Oil rises as US refineries restart (1 Visits)
Oil prices rose Monday while key U.S. refineries began restarts after Hurricane Harvey, wile fuel prices fell as Irma clipped demand for gasoline and diesel.
Discussion of an extension to the 15-month production pact for OPEC and non-OPEC members also supported prices, according to traders. Brent crude oil futures settled up 6 cents while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude rose by 59 cents.
While Irma knocked out power to over 7.3 million people in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama, concerns have been raised about demand, as storms tend to cut down driving, after many cars have been destroyed. Harvey is likely to be the bigger driver for the crude market according to analysts at Goldman Sachs. | 2017/09/19 16:57:09 | http://camtrader.ca/classifieds/view/3002 | mC4 | en |
the best strategy to sell with the online e-commerce site
21 Mar The best strategy to sell with the online e-commerce site (part 2)
Posted at 17: 20h in News di Bruno 0 Comments
Do you have an e-commerce site but are not satisfied with your online sales?
Once you have developed your e-commerce site, and populated with content and articles, let's move on to describe in the second part of this article the other actions necessary to bring your sales to an excellent level.
First of all, after having carried out the SEO of your e-commerce site (and satisfied all the requirements also from the point of view of users and navigation) it is necessary to expand one's audience and visibility in general.
For example, if we sell consumer goods (such as electronics or technology) it is very good to enter your site in a price comparator. THE price comparators are price comparison sites (such as kelkoo, trovaprezzo, twenga, and others) that compare the various prices available online for the same article. They are an excellent showcase, also because being very large and highly visited sites, they enjoy excellent visibility. So putting your site in a price comparator will facilitate our sales.
How many of us trying to buy an item online have not consulted a price comparator to find the lowest price?
So this strategy proves to be successful.
EXTERNAL SALES PLATFORMS
Subsequently, another very important action is to publish / synchronize their products with the two largest e-commerce platforms, which are currently Ebay and Amazon. Thanks to the large audience and the widespread distribution of the related apps also on mobile devices, the presence on these two e-commerce giants is almost mandatory to have sufficient and abundant sales.
Thanks to ours e-commerce synchronization software it is possible with a few clicks to synchronize your products and orders with these two large platforms, saving time and effort.
The synchronization of your products on Ebay and Amazon statistically allows an increase in sales for each platform equal to approximately 50-60% more on average. So this indicates that by publishing our articles on ebay and amazon we will about triple our current sales.
Another important factor in online sales that has consolidated in recent years is thesocial aspect. Social networks are becoming increasingly important also from a marketing point of view, so synchronize your products with the facebook fanpage or using the fanpage to receive comments and reviews has statistically become a necessary and successful action.
For example, how many of us have found ourselves looking at a company's fan page to look for comments or articles about a product that interested us?
Consequently, also the promotion to a targeted audience on social networks (Social marketing) is a sideline that can bring more visitors and consequently more sales with our e-commerce site.
In the third part of this article, we will go to explore the e-commerce system more deeply and we will analyze which are the best tools and the best technologies to best sell with your website. | 2021/09/17 19:32:05 | https://ideamedia.org/en/the-best-strategy-to-sell-ecommerce-2/ | mC4 | en |

Long Island House - design by Stelle Architects
"It adds to the experience of arrival," says the bachelor client who wanted a peaceful escape. The property lies in an area of modest fishing cottages and salt-water inlets that remains remarkably unspoiled for the Hamptons.
"I never built a house from scratch before," admits the client. "In some ways it's very liberating to be master of your own destiny."
The main level is a 90-foot slab of glass and steel raised to gain water views and summer breezes. It floats like a bridge, perpendicular to the walkway. Specially fabricated screens of horizontal teak lattice break up the expanse of glass. They serve as brise soleils to block the sun along the south side and provide a modicum of privacy. A staircase is subtly concealed behind another wall of lattice and leads up to the main living area.

Google OAuth - ENGR114-JupyterHub-Deployment
ENGR114-JupyterHub-Deployment Google OAuth
Google OAuth Google OAuth Page Contents
Google OAuth Instance
Restart JupyterHub and Login
Now that the GitHub authenticator works, we are going to get into the weeds of getting the Google authenticator to work.
Why Google authenticator instead of GitHub? Our college uses the gmail suite for both staff and students. When students log onto their college email, they are logging into gmail. Students can use Google calendar and Google drive with their college email account as well. So it is probably best that students log into JuypterHub using the same Google login that they use to access their college email, Google drive and calendar.
To allow students to use Google usernames and passwords to log into JupyterHub, the first thing we need to do is set up a Google OAuth instance. I set up Google OAuth instance using my personal gmail account, rather than my college gmail account. Some parts of Google suite are not available in my college profile, like YouTube and developer tabs.
Next we'll create a new OAuth credential under [Credentials] --> [Create Credentials] --> [OAuth client ID]:
To create a set of Google OAuth credentials we need to input:
Authorized JavaScript origins: https://mydomain.org
Authorized redirect URIs: https://mydomain.org/hub/oauth_callback
The client ID and client secret strings will be included in our revised JupyterHub configuration.
Once we get our Google OAuth credentials, we need to edit jupyterhub_conf.py again. Note your Google OAuth credentials need to replace 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'.
# For Google OAuth
# Cookie Secret and Proxy Auth Token Files
# Google OAuth Login - Seems to work 2018-11-01
c.LocalGoogleOAuthenticator.oauth_callback_url = 'https://mydomain.org/hub/oauth_callback'
c.LocalGoogleOAuthenticator.client_id = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
c.LocalGoogleOAuthenticator.client_secret = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
c.LocalGoogleOAuthenticator.hosted_domain = 'college.edu'
c.LocalGoogleOAuthenticator.login_service = 'College Name'
When a student logs in, JupyterHub tries to create a new Linux user with a dot . in their username. Usernames with . doesn't work on Linux. I tried to create a new Linux user with a dot in their username, and the terminal asked me to use the --force-badname flag. So --force-badname is what we'll add to the c.Authenticator.add_user_cmd list. Otherwise, users (students) will be able to authenticate with Google, but they won't get a new user account on the server, and they won't be able to run notebooks or Python code.
The login window should now look something like:
We can log in with our Google user name and password (college username and password).
After we log in using our college username and password, we can see if JupyterHub created a new user (with our college username) on the server. The command below produces a long list of users. This long list contains the non-root sudo user peter and the Google authenticated user (college username).
peter.lastname
The next step is to use the JupyterLab interface as the default interface. This means when students log into JupyterHub, they see JupyterLab instead of the typical Jupyter notebook file browser. | 2021/07/26 15:30:34 | https://professorkazarinoff.github.io/jupyterhub-engr114/google_oauth/ | mC4 | en |

Solved & Confirmed 0.11.4 BT - Productions All Come to a Halt
23-11-2017, 02:56 AM (This post was last modified: 07-12-2017, 01:15 PM by Rasmus.)
I have an instance where I've dug out a large portion of the map. Occasionally this means that some of my creatures may get stuck in places they can't path out of. After quite a while of playing I noticed my creatures were going ballistic with fights erupting everywhere. This turned out because there was no food. Well I have several hundred of each food item so that wasn't the problem. I then find that every production building has shutdown because of lack of resources, but not because there aren't enough resources in storage.
I'm assuming one or more Imps were stuck and couldn't find a path to work, but instead of dropping the task, they continue to try to work so no other Imps pick up the locked jobs. I saved the game to be able to show you, but first I reloaded that save and then all my jobs started working again so the save file wouldn't be helpful.
23-11-2017, 08:21 PM
29-11-2017, 08:39 PM
I've tested this and I'm not able to reproduce it Please let me know if you find some more information about what could be causing this problem.
I've got this once... than I realized my Room chains were not connected to correct Storage from workers could store and gather food. However I still haven't dig out the whole map though, but can it be the case? Mello do you have a save file of this?
I do, I'd have to go back and try and find which one it was, but again after it loaded all tasks were assigned and workflow continued. I commonly dig out large selections and then fill them back in, and sometimes someone gets stuck and I won't know that until they start getting hungry or sleepy.
Yeah, in DK 1 I remember there was a message that creatures have no access to their lair to treasure, very helpful.
It's possible that this issue is related to the save/load game reset issue which is solved. But lets wait and test to be sure
I will set this one to solved for now, I think the other bugs that have been fixed also fixed this one. If not, then I will put it back to unsolved. | 2020/10/21 03:56:08 | https://forum.dwelvers.com/showthread.php?tid=1817&pid=14929 | mC4 | en |
Review: Paradise 21 by Aubrie Dionne Blog Tour
March 10, 2012 by Sana 2 Comments
What attracted me towards Paradise 21 was the synopsis, I haven't read much sci-fi books and this one seemed good enough to read. So despite the cover which seems to scream steamy romance, I was hooked from the first sentence.
Matched with a manipulating, power-hungry Barliss to preserve the gene pool aboard New Dawn, Aries Ryder couldn't have it worse. She is not your typical heroine; because even though she is a first class Lifer on New Dawn, she wants out. So she plans her escape and lands onto a deadened planet Sahara 354. Little does she know what's in store for her; from lizard men who have a habit of stealing to the giant sandworm ready for a kill.
Luckily, for her, there's Striker abandoned by his fellow pirates on Sahara 354 five years ago. And he's not only good at surviving in the desert; he has a much bigger plan. An alien ship that crashed into Sahara 354 along with the eggs that won't hatch is the only hope for their survival and escape from Sahara 354 and land on Refuge.
The two fall into an easy companionship, but they don't have much time because it's centuries after Earth disintegrated and technology has far since taken on a new meaning. So it wouldn't take long for Barliss, to whom Aries is bequeathed, to come out looking for her with the help of her locator and what not. And then there's the ex-fellow pirate, Drifter and the ex-girlfriend, Tiff who may have found the hidden map to Refuge. But they need Striker to decode it.
Paradise 21 is a fast-paced read, so you never lose interest because there's something happening at all times. It's admirable to see the strong protagonists and the world-building is awe-inspiring as I could actually imagine the universe after earth. All the betrayal, the fight for life, the concern about gene pool, remnants of the old Earth and the journey towards Paradise 21 come together in unpredictable ways. The book seems to have it all.
"The world's a tough place, and the universe is colder still."

Sounds like a pretty cool book! I haven't read too much sci-fi either, but not for lack of interest. I think more because of my own habits. I really want to try some of it though. Nice review! 🙂 | 2022/05/22 08:37:39 | https://www.artsymusingsofabibliophile.com/2012/03/review-paradise-21-by-aubrie-dionne/ | mC4 | en |
This story, I believe, is truly inspiring on many levels. That's Chen Guanming pictured above, who says that he has traveled more than 60,000km/40,000miles in the past 2 years--traversing 16 countries--from his homeland China to London to see the Olympics...and doing it all on his large cargo trike. What's more, he's in his late fifties. I wonder if he and Heinz Stücke met each other in passing along the way. To read a couple brief stories about him click here or here, and the below video is interesting as well. | 2021-11-30T18:19:02Z | https://www.urbansimplicity.com/2012/08/the-amazing-journey-of-chen-guanming.html | OSCAR-2201 | en |

My messy skill set. - Wyvern Forums
My messy skill set.
Ok, so I've realized my skill set is whack. Yeah, I have. I need more find weakness, meditation, and a decent mana shield. I have decided to start using potions for mana shield and forget the spell and untrain the one spirit magic skill I currently have (although I haven't done this yet). I also untrained strength and instead I trained two earth magic and bought two rings of earth magic to cast a strength spell that gives me five strength... which isn't really enough.
Death Magic: 5 (all from training)
Dodging: 29 (1 from natural ability, 28 from magical effects)
Earth Magic: 2 (all from training)
Enchantment: 1 (all from training)
Find-weakness: 11 (all from training)
Fire Magic: 4 (all from training)
Healing: 3 (all from training)
Life Magic: 4 (all from training)
Lore: 8 (all from training)
Meditation: 3 (2 from training, 1 from natural ability)
Merchant: 5 (all from training)
Mind Magic: 2 (all from training)
Ranged Weapons: 32 (24 from training, 2 from natural ability, 6 from magical effects)
Sneaking: 3 (all from magical effects)
Strength: 5 (all from magical effects)
Water Magic: 1 (all from training)
I am an archer, for the most part, but I cast resists and a few mind spells and summoning and stuff too. Death magic is for magic whip and summon undead. I know, I know, a level 24 should not be summoning an ettin zombie, but it's fun and helps more than you'd think, lol. Sure it can't kill most the things I fight, but it can still keep them off of me. The Earth magic is for the strength spell, like I said, but also for petri resist and slow. The enchantment is for casting resists. Fire magic is for fire resist... obviously, and flame shield, lolz, and maybe berserk in the future. Mind magic is for knock and paralysis. Water magic is just for cold resist; I don't fight cold monsters much though, so it's not really worth training more than what it is. Oh, and life is for resist length, resist magic, and summon animal... hopefully someday I shall obtain a wand of summon insect too and get a good charger. *giggles*
Here are the spells I currently know:
- blink (Incantation of Spirit)
- bravery (Enchantment of Life and Mind)
- knock (Incantation of Mind)
- magic whip (Conjuration of Air and Death)
- resist cold (Enchantment of Water and Life)
- resist fire (Enchantment of Fire and Life)
- resist shock (Enchantment of Air and Life)
- resist magic (Enchantment of Life and Spirit)
- mana shield (Enchantment of Spirit)
- resist petrify (Enchantment of Earth and Life)
- slow (Evocation of Earth)
- speed (Enchantment of Air)
- strength (Enchantment of Earth and Life)
- summon animal (Conjuration of Life) [bit of fur]
- paralysis (Evocation of Mind)
- free action (Enchantment of Life and Mind)
Lore 6:
- flame shield (Conjuration of Fire) [sulfur, pixie dust]
- summon undead (Conjuration of Death) [graveyard dirt]
Lore 7:
- bless (Enchantment of Life)
- invisibility (Enchantment of Air) [pixie dust]
I use all of those spells on a regular basis. And I know a lot of you are gonna' say that I should forget the stupid summoning and blah blah blah, but it brings joy to my Wyvern life, seeing my little viper go out and attack an orca whale. And the more summons the marrier! Wyvern isn't just about progress and being the best/strongest and gaining xp and blah blah blah; it's kind of sort of supposed to be fun too. And now after that I doubt any of you will take me seriously, lol, but I still want advice.
Get some spirit get rid of some of the unnecessary magic skills like death fire maybe get 5 lore and use remove curse... if you have to have invis get potions or use ring or cloak... you can get by with 2 or 3 merchant....
I'm using potions for mana shield and unlearning the spell.
I explained my uses for death and fire. I prefer to have bless... so I can bless things. I considered untraining merchant but I don't know, I think I'd regret it.
You know, for some reason I think this is the best skillset I've seen in a while. It's far from generic and everything is there for your own reasons.
But, if you chose the path towards uncreative raw power, I think I can help you...
This is because it's the first one ever posted that doesn't involve spam healing. :D
Lol, thanks... I think...
Meh, well power is kind of overrated, but I do need to level faster so I can have more skillpoints to use. So I can summon a stronger animal.
Logwad... why would I need spam healing? xD I r archer, foo'. You should know. I actually went ahead and untrained a healing skill, because I really don't need it. (I trained meditation more, for those who want to know)
A part of me wants to re-do your whole skill set, saying "It's entirely wrong and wastes skill points."
But the other part of me doesn't want to redo it, because it doesn't need to be redone.
In fact, because you justify why you trained every single point you have, I don't think I could tell you to change a single skill point. I actually like the skill set you have.
This is odd. I really didn't expect responses like this, lol. But I'm still trying to find a way to get more skillpoints, and I want advice.
Not all people are mean just for the sake of it. Many people here merely look for a small unjustified opening and claw their way in.
you can save skillpoints using amulets, rings, and whatnot, that adds points in the magic elements, unless you already do that. More dodge can be obtained from various items. It all comes down to how much money you want to spend on them.
Make a human. Do you have any idea how much more fun it'd be with an extra 24 skillpoints at your level? You could put more points towards meditation, your elements, or even forestry. Zoology or Oratory would both be good choices, too. | 2019/07/19 22:04:08 | http://www.wyvernrpg.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1523 | mC4 | en |

Cool Greg, congratulations, make the most of it and have fun!
Congrats! Immerse yourself!
I came across your post in a Google search; I'm going to the fellowship too! I can't wait to get there and see what we will learn and experience. See you there!
Awesome! I've been looking around for other fellows and have found about 16 others so far, mostly via Twitter.
I have been chosen as a 2010 participant for the Poynter and i read that you got your tuition for free? I sent an email to them applying for financial aid but was there somthing that you did to get to go for free? I am very excited about this opportunity but,i fear that my lack of money will hold me back. Let me know
Congrats! Yes, last year's fellows attended for free because Poynter was able to subsidize the cost of tuition. Unfortunately, that's no longer the case because of the economic climate. | 2022/05/28 23:37:28 | https://greglinch.com/2009/03/ive-been-selected-for-the-poynter-fellowship-for-college-journalists-2009.html | mC4 | en |

Navy deploys ships, patrol boats for operation `Octopusgrip' in Bayelsa, Delta
Home More Maritime Navy deploys ships, patrol boats for operation `Octopusgrip' in Bayelsa, Delta
The Flag Officer Commanding (FOC), Central Naval Command (CNC), Rear Adm. Bello Al-Hassan, Thursday announced that the command would soon commence riverine and sea exercises, code-named "Octopusgrip,'' in Bayelsa and Delta, Sahara Reporters reports.
It will be recalled that the Nigerian Army had on October 13, 2017, launched its ongoing 'Operation Crocodile Smile II' scheduled to last for the next one month. Al-Hassan said seven ships and 37 riverine boats would be involved in the operation of the high sea exercise. Al-Hassan said that the exercise was expected to last from Oct. 30 to Nov. 1.

Bastille Day (the common English name) or La Fête Nationale commemorates the storming of the Bastille on the 14th July 1789, the second day of the French revolution. A year later, the Fête de la Federation celebrates the unity of the people among the French revolution, promoting peace and solidarity throughout the bloodshed.
These celebrations boast the oldest and largest military parades in Europe, as the French commemorate the actions of the attackers, leading to the abolition of feudalism in August and the eventual abolition of the aristocracy within France. Yet over 200 years on, what kind of a nation has France become? Does she still uphold those values that so many of her people died for during those revolutionary years?
The simple answer would be yes, although recent events have proved troubling for the French people and their values. For instance, the Socialist government has not always acted in the interests of French values. Equality and fraternity came under threat a few years ago, when the government proposed to strip dual-citizens of their French identity, undermining their ethos of equality for all and ‘brotherhood’.
This is a highly sensitive issue in France. With the rise of terrorism and the recent attacks in Paris and Nice still fresh in their minds, 94% of people approve Hollande’s proposal to strip terrorists of their French nationality. Although this is understandable, the rise of the far right is highly alarming for the Socialist country, especially concerning issues around nationality.
France prides itself in believing and preserving the values of those who died in the revolution. They are committed to the idea that all citizens should be equal and free, but the rise of the far right threatens this harmony. The growing emphasis on national identity, particularly heritage, is creating a tense atmosphere throughout the country. Those who have non-French roots face being isolated and discriminated against- something that is against the very nature of French society.
Under current law, dual-national citizens who are not naturalised and have been in the country less than ten years, can have their French nationality stripped should they commit a crime. Hollande’s proposal to extend this to all citizens convicted of terrorism crimes, even if they are born on French soil, plays on the scaremongering tendencies of the right, and threatens to divide the country apart of which so many sacrificed to unite.
It may be 200 years on from both of these events, but France’s values will continue to remain compromised as long as the far right continue to grow. The threat of the far right is imminent. They continue to scaremonger and create rifts in the nation. Unlike anything seen within the United Kingdom (even UKIP’s scaremongering), racism and discrimination are becoming more apparent within country, against those who were ‘soil born’ and those ‘foreign born’. The continued shift of Hollande’s government to the right and their failure to address the real social issues within the country, threaten the very values of which Modern France was founded.
The values of Liberté, Égalité, and Fratenité continue to live on in France but the message is becoming murkier as each year passes.

The avalanche danger continues to be MODERATE above 1500′ on all aspects. Triggering a hard slab avalanche 2-4 feet thick remains a possibility. These hard slabs can be remotely triggered from the side or below. Additionally, watch for old wind slabs in steep rocky terrain and give cornices a wide berth.
Today skies are expected to be mostly cloudy with clear skies through the end of the week. There is little in the way of weather that will impact our old and tired snowpack – except for the sun. We can't forget that spring is here; even though temperatures have been relatively cool, this could change any day now. Be aware of warming later in the day on Southerly slopes – this may be difficult to assess. Melting surfaces may not be present on low angle terrain in the alpine.
The slab on top is 2-4′ thick and very hard due to a strong Northwest wind event that ended last Thursday. This wind event caused unusual loading patterns on a variety of aspects as seen on the Headwall of Seattle Ridge. | 2022/05/26 01:56:35 | https://www.cnfaic.org/forecast/turnagain/2018-03-28/ | mC4 | en |

SUPERSTITION REIGNS.
say, 'takes away their memory, and imposes on their brain.'»
Who, under such circumstances, would dare to be skeptical, or refuse to believe the confessors? Already, twenty persons had been put to death for witchcraft. Fifty-five had been tortured or terrified into penitent confessions. With accusations, confessions increased; with confessions, new accusations. Even "the generation of the children of God" were in danger of "falling under that condemnation." The jails were full. One hundred and fifty prisoners awaited trial, two hundred more were accused or suspected. It was also observed that no one of the condemned confessing witchcraft had been hanged. No one that confessed, and retracted a confession, had escaped either hanging or imprisonment for trial. No one of the condemned who asserted innocence, even if one of the witnesses confessed to perjury, or the foreman of the jury acknowledged the error of the verdict, escaped the gallows. Favoritism was shown in listening to accusations, which were turned aside from friends or partisans. If a man began a career as a witch-hunter, and, becoming convinced of the imposture, declined the service, he was accused and hanged.
Samuel Parris had played a strong hand and was more than successful. His harvest of vengeance
seemed to have no end. Witches' Hill became a *Tyburn-hill, and as many as eight were hung at one time.
Matters had at last gone too far. The delusion reached its climax in the midsummer of 1692, and on the second Wednesday in October following, about a fortnight after the last hanging at Salem, the representatives of the colony assembled, and the people of Andover, their minister joining with them, appeared with their remonstrance against the doings of witch tribunals.
"We know not," they said, "who can think himself safe, if the accusation of children and others under a diabolical influence shall be received against persons of good fame." The discussions which ensued were warm, for Mr. Parris had defenders even in the legislature, who denounced Charles and Hattie Stevens "as murderers and exercisers of the black art." The general court did not place itself in direct opposition to the advocates of the trials. It ordered by bill a convocation of ministers, that the people might be led in the right way, as to the witchcraft. The reason for doing it and the manner were such, that the judges of the court, so wrote one of them, "consider themselves thereby dismissed."
As to legislature, it adopted what King William rejected -the English law, word for word, as it was en
acted by a house of commons, in which Coke and Bacon were the guiding minds; but they abrogated the special court, and established a tribunal by statute. Phipps had, instantly on his arrival, employed his illegal court in hanging the witches. The representatives of the people delayed the first assembling of the legal court till January of the following year. Thus an interyal of more than three months from the last executions gave the public mind security and freedom. Though Phipps conferred the place of chief judge on Stoughton, yet jurors, representing the public mind, acted independently. When the court met at Salem, six women of Andover, at once renouncing their confessions, treated the witchcraft but as something "so called," the bewildered but as "seemingly afflicted." A memorial of like tenor come from the inhabitants of Andover.
More than one-half of the cases presented were dismissed; and, though bills were found against twenty-six persons, the trials showed the feebleness of the testimony on which others had been condemned. The minds of the juries had become enlightened, even before the prejudiced judges. The same testimony was produced, and there at Salem, with Stoughton on the bench, verdicts of acquittal followed.
One of the parties acquitted on this occasion was
an old acquaintance. Mr. Henry Waters, who had been arrested for his brother and taken to Virginia, suddenly appeared in Salem. John Louder, at once cried out against him and caused him to be arrested. On being arraigned, he plead not guilty and was put on his trial. John Louder was the principal witness. He stated that one day he and Bly were hunting and that defendant pursued them and bewitched their guns. Then he testified that he fired a silver bullet and wounded the defendant. He also testified to his appearing before him on the evening he went to stalk deer, and offering him a book to sign. It was known that the accused had suffered from a wound.
Mr. Waters then proceeded to explain:
"My name is Henry Waters, and, in early life, my brother and I were players. We were members of the Church of England and detested the Catholic Religion. The end of Charles II. was drawing near, and we reasoned that James II., his brother, would become heir to the throne. Our only hope was to organize a strong party and seize the throne for the Duke of Monmouth. I was sent to the American colonies to secure pledges of support, and get the names of all who would resist a papal monarch on my book. I came, leaving my brother and his child in England. On the way here, I was suddenly fired upon by an Indian
in ambush and wounded in the side. As these men were stalking a deer I passed along and affrighted the animal, so it ran away, and I was for this accused of being a wizard."
He was then asked by the examining magistrate, if he did offer a book to Mr. John Louder to sign.
"I did," he quickly answered.
"When was it?"
"At the time and place he states."
" What book was it?"
"I have it here," and he produced a small, redbacked blank book. "This has caused so much trouble. Examine it, and you will see it was to contain only the names of those who would resist the accession of the Duke of York to the throne."
The book was passed around to the Judge and Jury, and a smile dawned on the face of each, which was dangerous to the friends of the prosecution. That book would have hung Henry Waters during the reign of James II. ; but now it was his salvation. He was one of the first acquitted. The delusion was on the wane. " * Error died among its worshippers." | 2021/01/28 03:36:37 | https://books.google.com.bd/books?id=9YZIAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA341&focus=viewport&vq=accused&dq=editions:UOM39015075032303&output=html_text | mC4 | en |

Vinhos Borges 'Lello' Tinto
Made From: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca
Tastes Like: Red Berries, Plum, Spice
Vinhos Borges was established in the Douro region of Portugal by brothers Antonio and Francisco all the way back in 1884. Over the course of three centuries the company has become a standard-bearer of Portuguese wine, setting the bar for both quality and value.
In 1913 they also created one of the country's very first Douro table wines: the 'Lello' Tinto. Composed of indigenous varieties like Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta Barroca, Lello is aged partially in stainless steel tanks and partially in French oak barrels for 4-6 months. The palate offers bold yet balanced layers of red cherry, spiced berries, and dark plum which are underpinned by touches of cedar and earth. All of these flavors are woven together effortlessly by smooth tannins and a soft mouthfeel, creating a wine that is simultaneously intriguing and crowd-pleasing.

ROW80 Weeks 6 and 7: Soon | Jenkins Rising

ROW80 Weeks 6 and 7: Soon
After 7 evenings of work over the past fortnight, I'm about half-way (4,100 words) into my first edit of the story I'm working on. Before the end of the round, I'd like to finish this edit and do a second round of polishing.
Under normal circumstances, that wouldn't be too hard.
However, I'm also preparing to move house. (The contract is signed, and I'll get keys in the next fortnight). That's not as big a job as it may sound — I'm only living in one room at the moment, and I've got lots of boxes packed already — but it will still take time.
I'm also away two weekends in June, but that may work in my favour. If I can get most of my editing done before then, these will be a good chance to get feedback on the story.
My challenge this week is to finish off the first edit.
This entry was posted in A Round of Words in 80 Days and tagged house.

I hear of a lot of people in the process of moving now. I wish I was one of them, if only that it would force me to get rid of all the junk that 26 years of living in the same place has caused to happen. Best of luck with your own move and with those edits. | 2019/03/26 21:20:12 | https://isikyus.wordpress.com/2016/05/23/row80-weeks-6-and-7/ | mC4 | en |
In case you were wondering if PETA have completely lost their collective freaking mind, please permit me to present Exhibit #45,829-A, the Sea Kittens.
People don’t seem to like fish.
That depends upon how they’re prepared, I suppose.
Whoever was in charge of creating a positive image for fish needs to go right back to working on the Britney Spears account and leave our scaly little friends alone.
So… Nature has a PR team? Well now. Most of the marketing & PR types I’ve ever known like to hang out at sushi bars, which seems like a major conflict of interests in this case, doesn’t it?
(And: Britney Spears? Really? You guys couldn’t even try to keep this idiocy timely in some fashion?)
…We’re going to start by retiring the old name for good. When your name can also be used as a verb that means driving a hook through your head, it’s time for a serious image makeover.
I have a clue for the folks at PETA: Small stupid scaly animals do not care about their “image.”
(On another note, I know people who put metal into their heads for decorative purposes, so there goes that part of their argument.)
And who could possibly want to put a hook through a sea kitten?
Many people. Some call them… fishermen.
Right. Like calling a fish by some cutesy name (let alone a creepy attempt at anthropomorphism) is going to eliminate from all humanity the urge to hook, net, gut and deep-fry those tasty critters. May I invite y’all to rejoin this little thing we call, “Reality”?
Idiots.

Minneapolis will decide whether to replace its Police Department with a public safety agency.

Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis, who is up for re-election on Tuesday, opposes an amendment that would abolish the city’s Police Department.Credit…Jenn Ackerman for The New York Times
Days after a police officer murdered George Floyd, protesters gathered outside Mayor Jacob Frey’s home demanding that the Minneapolis Police Department be abolished. The mayor said no. The crowd responded with jeers of “Shame!”
On Tuesday, nearly a year and a half since Mr. Floyd’s death thrust Minneapolis into the center of a fervent debate over how to prevent police abuse, voters in the city will have a choice: Should the Minneapolis Police Department be replaced with a Department of Public Safety? And should Mr. Frey, who led the city when Mr. Floyd was killed and parts of Minneapolis burned, keep his job?
Minneapolis became a symbol of all that was wrong with American policing, and voters now have the option to move further than any other large city in rethinking what law enforcement should look like. But in a place still reeling from the murder of Mr. Floyd and the unrest that followed, residents are deeply divided over what to do next, revealing just how hard it is to change policing even when most everyone agrees there is a problem.
Many progressive Democrats and activists are pushing to reinvent the government’s entire approach to safety, while moderate Democrats and Republicans who are worried about increases in crime say they want to invest in policing and improve the current system. In one September poll, 49 percent of residents favored the ballot measure, which would replace the Police Department with a Department of Public Safety, while about 41 percent did not.
The divisions extend to the top of the Democratic power structure in Minnesota. Representative Ilhan Omar and Keith Ellison, the state attorney general, support replacing the Police Department. Their fellow Democrats in the Senate, Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, oppose it, as does Mayor Frey. | 2021-12-04T23:15:14Z | http://technologyevo.com/2021/11/02/minneapolis-will-decide-whether-to-replace-its-police-department-with-a-public-safety-agency/ | OSCAR-2201 | en |

Syria opens door to US bombing of Islamists but White House to go it alone
Damascus says its ready to work with Washington to fight Islamist 'terrorism' within its borders
http://www.scmp.com/news/world/article/1580906/syria-opens-door-us-bombing-islamists-white-house-go-it-alone
Syria said it was ready to work with the United States to fight "terrorism" as US President Barack Obama approved surveillance flights over the nation, a move that could pave the way for air strikes against Islamic militants, two American officials said.
Syria, locked in a civil war with various rebel groups including Islamic State since March 2011, said for the first time on Monday that it would work with the international community, including Washington, to tackle the Islamist problem.
But Foreign Minister Walid Muallem insisted that any strikes on Syrian territory must be coordinated with the government of President Bashar al-Assad.
But White House spokesman Josh Earnest rejected the call from Damascus.
"There are no plans to coordinate with the Assad regime as we consider this terror threat," Earnest said. The United States did not even recognise the Assad regime as the legitimate rulers of Syria, he said.
The UN resolution, passed this month, seeks to cut funds and the flow of foreign fighters both to Islamic State and to al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, al-Nusra Front.
Western powers fear Islamic State's self-declared "caliphate" could become a launch pad for a new round of global terror attacks.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said foreign drones were seen over the eastern province of Deir Ezzor on Monday.
One US official said the surveillance flights were an important avenue for obtaining the reliable intelligence the US needed.
The US began launching strikes against Islamic State inside Iraq earlier this month, with Obama citing the threat to American personnel in the country and a humanitarian crisis in the north as his rationale. Top Pentagon officials have said the only way the threat from the militants can be fully eliminated is to go after the group inside neighbouring Syria as well.
Obama has long resisted taking military action in Syria, a step that would plunge the US into a country ravaged by an intractable civil war.
However, his calculus appears to have shifted since Islamic State announced last week that it had murdered American journalist James Foley, who was held hostage in Syria.

Iran Ready to Join International Action Against Jihadists in Iraq
Tehran | Aug 21, 2014
Iran is ready to join international action against jihadists in Iraq provided the West lifts crippling sanctions, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on today.
His comments followed a call by French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius yesterday for all countries in the region, including Iran, to join the fight against Islamic State (IS) fighters who have seized swathes of Iraq as well as neighbouring Syria.
The Iranian foreign ministry confirmed yesterday that discussions were under way with several European governments about the possibility of joint action against IS in Iraq.
Iranian and US officials discussed the jihadists' lightning offensive in Iraq in June on the sidelines of nuclear talks with the major powers but both sides ruled out joint military action at the time.

The Backyard Axe Throwing League | Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival
The Backyard Axe Throwing League will offer outdoor axe throwing at the Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival from June 20 - 23, 2019! Join us to experience the thrill of axe throwing!
Pricing: 5 Throws for $2
*Must be 14+ years
And now at the Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival you too can join that legendary trio that is so ingrained into the mind's eye of every man, woman, and child on Earth. When you first enter The Cabin you will feel their spirits looking over you, guiding you towards axe throwing immortality. Let them coach you: President Lincoln will explain to you that when throwing an axe, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." And then he will stare at you with his ghost eyes and expect you to figure out that he's trying to tell you how to properly stand whilst throwing. He'll then tell you that you don't need to take 4 score about it. Does anyone even know what a score is? Anyway he gets annoyed with you and mumbles something about how he'd rather be at the theatre, which allows the Tinman to step in. He tells you to focus on the beating of your heart and begin your wind up and release in between heartbeats. You then realize that he doesn't have a heart and ask him if he is familiar with what the average human being's standing beats per minute heartrate is? He tells you to just follow the yellow brick road which is no help at all cause you're standing outside a tent. On a beach. With no roads. Plus, how does that relate to axe throwing anyway. I'd say Gimli might be of some help but all he ever says is that you have his axe, or that nobody tosses a Dwarf, or some story about Dwarf women looking and sounding like Dwarf men. None of which are helpful.
Ultimately the axe throwing trio of immortals won't be of much help, but the nice people from BATL, The Backyard Axe Throwing League will be able to give you all the tips and encouragement you need to be able to tell your friends that you too can axe throw.
BATL's mission is to show people the power of being good to each other, using the axe as a tool to build community inspired by our backyard roots. Events are led by experienced axe throwing coaches to make sure you have a great time while learning how to throw with the proper technique.
BATL Ottawa serves axe throwing to the Capital Region including Gloucester, Nepean and Hull for groups of 2 – 135 people. The Backyard Axe Throwing League is minutes from HWY 417 near the Minto Skating Centre and Ottawa Athletic Club.
They are immensely proud to have been the first organization in the world to offer an urban venue to experience the thrill of indoor axe throwing in leagues, walk-ins, group parties and team building.
About The Backyard Axe Throwing League:
BATL was founded in the backyard of CEO Matt Wilson in 2006. What started as a personal passion sparked by a camping trip soon spread through word of mouth in Toronto, and today nearly 2 million people have experienced the thrill of throwing axes at their locations. | 2021/01/15 17:34:55 | https://dragonboat.net/info/the-cabin/batl.aspx | mC4 | en |

GenieGO status lights not lighting up
I installed my GenieGo to my wireless router per the instructions. I have 4 HD DVRs, including one Genie, and they are all connected using Whole-Home with the SWiM system. The GenieGO network light is blue, the status light is yellow, and the activity light appears to be dark and not lit up. I have unplugged everything and plugged it all back in again, and nothing has changed. I downloaded the GenieGO app on my computer and it says "No HD DVRs found." Any suggestions?
Please tell us your modem and router model number
How exactly is the GenieGo connected to your home network router?
My modem and wireless router is a combo unit provided by Time Warner Cable. It's a Motorola SURFboard SBG6580. The GenieGO is connected to the router with the Ethernet cable that came in the box.
For starters, leave the Ethernet cable connected to your router/modem and disconnect AC power from the GenieGO, wait a couple of minutes and plug it back in. On each of your DVR's, press the dash :smileyminus: button and confirm that the resulting message indicates Internet connected.
I unplugged the GenieGO and left it unplugged for a few minutes before plugging it back in. (I've done this 4 or 5 times today, but just did it again, just in case) I also checked all 4 DVRs and they all say SWiM Connected and Internet: Connected. Unfortunately, I have the same result, the GenieGO is not functioning.
How long are you waiting? The GenieGo might be downloading and trying to install updated software. Leave it alone for a few hours and see if all three blue lights eventually come on.
I'll try waiting a few more hours and I'll post an update tomorrow.
Make sure that any firewalls on your gateway are off until the GenieGO "settles" then you can turn them back on
Shutting off the gateway firewall seems like a good idea, but there doesn't appear to be a Firewall control on the administrative capabilities for this SURFboard SBG6580 cable modem/router. The GenieGO has now been plugged in all day and the status light is still yellow and the activity light is still dark.
It def sound like a firewall issue to me. Have you tried doing a Google search?
According to what I've read after Googling the issue, this modem claims to have "advanced intelligent design" and you can't shut it off. Maybe I could take the GenieGo to another network to get updated and then bring it back to my house and try again??
Maybe, but I think the gateway is blocking the GenieGo from "talking" to DirecTV servers. so even if it updates, it might not in your house until is able to comunicate with the mothership.
I found directions on the Motorola web site for shutting off the gateway firewall, which I did about an hour ago. Also restarted everything again. Unfortunately, this hasn't made any difference. The GenieGO lights still won't turn blue.
Press and hold the GenieGo reset button for about a minute. see if that hepls nowthat you ahve disable the firewall
Hi there, you might need to open up the ports on your Modem/Router, I still do not have a GenieGo but as per the instructions on the DirecTV site it appears not all gateways open the ports automatically. | 2020/08/09 12:17:59 | https://forums.att.com/conversations/directv-dvr-receivers/geniego-status-lights-not-lighting-up/5df00ee3bad5f2f6061e742c?commentId=5df00f4dbad5f2f60624a6c9 | mC4 | en |
Withdrawal From Paris Agreement, A Terrible Decision/Mistake - Windermere Sun-For Healthier/Happier/More Sustainable Living
Elon Musk's twee this morning, June 1, 2017
Letter To President Pump (dated 5-16-2017)
Elon Musk's twee this morning, June 1, 2017
This is the day when United States of America will no longer be the leader of the world and will no longer be respected by other nations, with reason. Today, on June 1, 2017, President Donald Trump announces the decision on leaving the Paris Agreement. Paris Agreement is an agreement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNF.CCC) dealing with greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, adaptation, and finance starting in the year 2020. The language of the agreement was negotiated by representatives from 195 countries at the 21st Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC in Paris and adopted by consensus on Dec. 12, 2015. After several European Union states ratified the agreement in October 2016, there were enough countries that had ratified the agreement that produce enough of the world's greenhouse gases for the agreement to enter into force. The agreement went into effect on 4 November 2016. Paris Agreement signifies that the whole planet can work together, to reduce carbon emission and to increase clean energy growth. Unless…..
French President, M. Emmanuel Macron, making sure that President Trump will be able to understand and hear clearly, spoke in English, below:
But after President Trump's announcement to withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, already, Germany's challenger for the chancellorship, Martin Schultz, stated that he would refuse to engage in transatlantic trade talks and that it would be impossible to grant better market access to the U.S. if U.S. did not respect climate protection rules. Translation: there will be tariffs placed on products from USA.
"If the U.S. drops out of the climate agreement… for European trade policy, this means that American production sites don't need to abide by the climate goals," said the Social Democratic candidate, who was speaking at the WDR Europa Forum in Berlin. "That is a competitive distortion against which we can only protect ourselves by saying: Whoever wants to have access to our market, and the European market is the biggest market in the world, needs to respect the European standards."
Soon after Trump's announcement, the Tesla CEO Elon Musk also announced that he would no longer be part of the presidential councils based on Trump's decision. It appears as though neither Pope Francis nor Elon Musk is able to reach President Trump. Musk agreed to become part of the Trump's Business Advisory Council in the hope to inject some voice of reasoning for his environmental ideals. But this withdrawal from the Paris Agreement was a deal breaker.
Tesla was not the only company that is displeased with today's announcement. Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, HP, Intel, Adobe, and 18 others composed and published an open letter to the president asking him not to remove the United States from the Paris Agreement. This letter was released last month and posted as a full-page ad in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and New York Post, presented below:
Interestingly enough, several oil and coal companies, including Shell, Exxon Mobile, and Cloud Peak Energy asked Trump to continue being part of the International pact to reduce carbon emissions.
What President Trump has done is to:
disregard the wishes of the majority of the Americans
instigating hostile feelings toward Americans overseas
diminish future growth of American clean energy industries
behaving irresponsibly and immorally
Our economy and our position in the world will diminish after today if nothing will be done to remedy or reverse this situation.
My hats off to Governor Brown of California who is not deterred by President Trump's decision and will continue to encourage climate activism for all Americans to take the most responsible, moral, and patriotic action.

A Prince and a Spy Review
1838773339
978-1838773335
Cambridge-based American history professor Tom Wilde investigates the death of George, Duke of Kent, brother of the King of England, in a mystery plane crash.
Ex-journalist Rory Clements has abandoned the 17th century for the lead-up and early years of the Second World War and a new hero, Tom Wilde, a Cambridge-based American professor specialising in Elizabethan espionage history.
This dramatic, twisty and intelligent thriller is by far the best of the developing series so far, but equally ideal as a standalone. It's not just a compelling protagonist – Wilde is a widowed, good-looking, motorbike-riding, ex-champion amateur boxer who is also superbly bright, analytically logical and everyone's idea of what a superspy should be. He's now been co-opted to the London office of the emerging OSS, Colonel 'Wild Bill' Donovan's Office of Strategic Services and forerunner of the CIA, and is also completely believable and in every other way totally 'normal'.
Clements' meticulous homework and realistic backgrounding continue a tradition going back to Buchan and Wheatley with more than a nod to Frederick Forsyth in the skills of developing 'faction' – adapting real incidents and characters to give verisimilitude to his stories. Here he takes one of the great unsolved mysteries of World War Two as the basis for a plot which reaches right to the very top of the hierarchies of the countries involved in the European theatre.
On August 25 1942, a Sunderland flying boat of 228 Squadron carrying George, Duke of Kent, brother of King George VI of England and fifth in the line of succession, then serving in the Intelligence Division of the Admiralty, crashed into Eagle's Rock, a hillside near Dunbeath in the Scottish Highlands.
The only survivor of 15 passengers and crew was the plane's rear gunner, Flight Sergeant Andrew Jack. Bound by the Official Secrets Act, F/Sgt Jack never said anything in public about the crash, but after his death his niece claimed he had told his family that the duke was actually piloting the flight and that there was a mysterious extra person aboard.
Clements applies both fact and rumour to offer a more than credible alternative to some of the rumours that abounded at the time. The Prince, at the behest of his elder brother the King, for whom he had carried out several similar secret missions, was in fact returning from a top secret meeting in the Swedish lakes with his bisexual distant cousin and friend Prince Philipp of Hessen, at that time a senior Nazi and close to the German leader, to sound out possible British reaction to some sort of peace initiative in the west to allow Hitler to concentrate on his destruction of Russia.
The moving force behind the German attempts to cover up both the meeting and the leak is SS Gruppenführer und Generalleutnant der Polizei Heinrich Müller, chief of the dreaded state police the Gestapo and a truly evil man who was personally responsible for many thousands of deaths. Despite being at Hitler's bunker in the final weeks of the war in Europe, he was never caught nor his body identified.
This brilliantly compelling story offers Wilde the chance to highlight the political polarisation and mistrust, underlaid with a simmering violence rife both the Nazi and Allied sides of the conflict. It's a colourful history lesson featuring many real characters who are never out of step with the facts, and is also a gripping spy thriller with unusual and well thought through plot twists from the start, a real atmosphere of fear as well as offering several classic moral dilemmas.
Clements has an immaculate grip on time and place, blending both effortlessly with an all-action, fast-moving, but complex plot. He is far too good a writer to allow the reader to get too settled before the story races off in a new direction. The reader will be left trying to pick out fact from fiction at their own peril.
This is another triumph for the decent and moral Wilde who somehow manages to avoid all distractions which would tempt lesser men. Clements is a fine writer who brings the reality and urgency of a news story to the framework of a novel. | 2022/07/05 20:56:01 | http://crimereview.co.uk/page.php/review/9195 | mC4 | en |
The benefits of magnesium includes regulating your nerves, sustaining a normal heart rhythm and assisting your body in absorbing calcium.
Studies show that about 50% of people in the US and Europe get less than the recommended daily amount of magnesium.
So let's have a closer look at the specific health benefits of magnesium and determine what the best sources of this important mineral are.
This explains why some of the main symptoms of minerals deficiency involve muscle - tension, soreness, spasms and cramps.
While too much calcium causes the heart muscles to contract too much magnesium allows muscles to relax.
Studies have shown that magnesium boost exercise performance for the elderly and people with chronic disease.
Harvard research found that taking magnesium along with vitamin B6 significantly reduces the formation of calcium oxalate kidney stones.
According to Dr. Nan Kathryn Fuchs, it's not more calcium you need for strong bones; but rather more magnesium.
Although U.S. women have one of the highest levels of calcium intake in the world osteoporosis amongst them is increasing instead of declining.
Some fuels cannot be stored in our muscle cells unless adequate supplies of magnesium are available.
Dr. Mildred Seelig who has been studying magnesium for the past 40 years argues that magnesium deficiency is a major cause of both heart disease and diabetes.
Some estimates are that up to 80 percent of people with type 2 diabetes have a magnesium deficiency.
Now that you know some of the facts about why magnesium is so vital in your diet, you might be interested in what the best food sources are for boosting your magnesium intake.
If you are excited about the evidence based facts about the benefits of magnesium please tell your friends that could benefit from this by sharing this post. | OSCAR-2019 | en |

January 11, 2013 This week, we raise our glasses to Mellody Hobson and George Lucas, Maria Ponce and Trey Berre, and Jenny McCarthy.
Big supporter of Jenny McCarthy right here! Jenny, you are hilarious and you made my pregnancy so much better because I could step aside and laugh! When I was prego, your books would keep me up at night laughing in bed (and I'd almost pee my pants…it was awesome). I post about your books (both your Belly Laughs and Baby Laughs books) on my blog (http://www.mommymiamonologues.com/2012/11/the-2-essential-books-that-every.html), and you're included in a few more posts of mine because your book(s) are what I consider to be "sanity savers" for people like me. You are awesome! | 2016/02/10 06:41:05 | http://splash.suntimes.com/2013/01/11/cheers16 | mC4 | en |
Camping at Sandy Cape
by Aaron Schubert Last modified on October 16, 2010
Camping at Sandy Cape is often quite busy. I prefer to drive south about a kilometre and camp near where this photo was taken. Its got better fishing, less people and you don't have to pay to camp!
Katie November 29, 2011, 7:40 PM
Hi got a question for you… are license quad bikes allowed at sandy cape?
Aaron November 29, 2011, 8:04 PM
To be honest, I have no idea. Your best contact would be the Shire of Dandaragan. You can call them on (08) 9652 0800
Alanna December 2, 2011, 10:15 AM
Where abouts do you have to pay to camp and do you have to pay before arriving? Are dogs allowed?
Aaron December 2, 2011, 5:23 PM
As far as I know, you are allowed to take dogs but they need to be on a leash in certain areas. I believe you pay the caretaker, who lives in a big bus. I wouldn't be too concerned with paying immediately though; I wouldn't be surprised if he came around the next morning to collect.
julie March 21, 2012, 9:21 PM
looking at camping from this sat to wednesday, do yo think we would get a spot on sat or would we have more chance on sunday ??
Aaron March 21, 2012, 9:50 PM
I have no idea what your chances are, but it does get busy. Maybe plan for camping there, but have a backup plan as well?
Jess April 3, 2012, 12:28 PM
We were looking at camping at sandy cape this easter weekend but we Cant really make it will fri/sat ( are comming to jurien WED so we can reserve a spot somewhere if nessiary) and as it is so popular i doubt we will get a spot!
This place you talk about a 1klm away is it easy to find? we are all 4WD and there will be about 5 cars so do u think there will be enough space for us??
Do you know of anywhere else up the coast that would be also great that we can sneak into along the way?we will be heading up from perth, we are all totally self suficent so we can go anywhere but want good fishing and 4WDing!!
Thanks for your help and love that i found you!!
Aaron April 3, 2012, 1:32 PM
I have no doubt that it will be absolutely packed at Sandy Cape over Easter. You can look at the places around Sandy Cape, but make sure that you are within the designated camping grounds. You can find this here – http://www.dandaragan.wa.gov.au/rangerservices/code.
Unfortunately with much of our coastline being closed to camping your options are becoming quite limited. If you are prepared to drive a bit further, Lucky Bay is a great place to visit. It will also be extremely busy, but the difference is there is plenty of room to spread around. | 2022/07/03 11:40:05 | https://www.4wdingaustralia.com/photo-of-the-day/wa/camping-at-sandy-cape/ | mC4 | en |

The Russell Sage Foundation is an operating foundation dedicated to programs of social science research. RSF will accept letters of inquiry (LOIs) under these core programs and special initiatives: Race, Ethnicity and Immigration; Immigration and Immigrant Integration; Social, Political and Economic Inequality. In addition, RSF will also accept LOIs relevant to any of its core programs that address at least one of the following issues: 1. Research on the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting recession in the U.S. Specifically, research that assesses the social, political, economic, and psychological causes and consequences of the pandemic, especially its effects on marginalized individuals and groups and on trust in government and other institutions. Our priorities do not include analyses of health outcomes or health behaviors. RSF seldom supports studies focused on outcomes such as educational processes or curricular issues, but does prioritize analyses of inequities in educational attainment or student performance.
LOIs must include specific information about the proposed data and research design. Successful proposals from this round can have a start date on or after April 1, 2022.
Deadline: July 28, 2021 (Letters of Inquiry)
Guidelines: https://www.russellsage.org/how-to-apply/application-deadlines
The Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation welcomes LOIs for its Beckman Young Investigator (BYI) Program, which provides research support to the most promising young faculty members in the early stages of their academic careers in the chemical and life sciences, particularly to foster the invention of methods, instruments and materials that will open up new avenues of research in science.
The BYI program is open to those within the first four years of a tenure-track position, or an equivalent independent research appointment, at a United States academic or non-profit institution that conducts research in chemical and life sciences. Tenure-Track dates for the 2022 program must start after 1/1/2017 AND before 8/2/2021. The Foundation does not support clinical research, clinical trials, or single target drug discovery projects. The Foundation does not provide for overhead or for indirect costs. Institutions are not limited in the number of applicants who apply at the Letter of Intent stage.
Funding Amount: $600K over 4 years
Deadline: August 2, 2021 (Letters of Intent)
Guidelines: https://www.beckman-foundation.org/programs/beckman-young-investigator/
The Foundation's mission is to support research to improve the lives of young people ages 5-25 in the United States. One way that we pursue this mission is by investing in high-quality field-initiated studies on reducing inequality in youth outcomes. We seek studies that aim to build, test, or increase understanding of programs, policies, or practices to reduce inequality in the academic, social, behavioral, or economic outcomes of young people. We prioritize studies about reducing inequality on the basis of race, ethnicity, economic standing, language minority status, or immigrant origins.
The Foundation also invests in high-quality field-initiated studies on improving the use of research evidence in ways that benefit youth. We are particularly interested in research on improving the use of research evidence by state and local decision makers, mid-level managers, and intermediaries. Some investigators will focus on the strategies, relationships, and other supports needed for policy and practice organizations to use research more routinely and constructively. Others may investigate structures and incentives within the research community to encourage deep engagement with decision makers. Still other researchers may examine activities that help findings inform policy ideas, shape practice responses, and improve systems.
The Foundation does not have a preference for a particular research design or method. We begin application reviews by looking at the research questions or hypotheses. Then we evaluate whether the proposed research designs and methods will provide strong empirical evidence on those questions. We support studies from a range of disciplines, fields, and methods, and we encourage investigations into various systems, including justice, housing, child welfare, mental health, and education. The strongest proposals incorporate data from multiple sources and often involve multi-disciplinary teams.
Funding Amount: $100K-$600K (reducing inequality); $100K-$1M (improving the use of research evidence)
Deadline: August 4, 2021 (Letters of Inquiry)

The John Templeton Foundation serves as a philanthropic catalyst for discoveries relating to the deepest and most perplexing questions facing humankind. We support research on subjects ranging from complexity, evolution, and emergence to creativity, forgiveness, and free will. We only fund projects aligned with our major Funding Areas:
Science & The Big Questions: The Science & the Big Questions Funding Area supports innovative efforts to address the deepest questions facing humankind. Why are we here? How can we flourish? What are the fundamental structures of reality? What can we know about the nature and purposes of the divine? Through 2023, we are devoting a significant portion of our funding to twelve priorities in Science & the Big Questions: Intellectual Humility; Dynamics of Religious Change; Religious Cognition; Mathematical & Physical Sciences; Health, Religion, & Spirituality; Cultural Evolution; Science of Virtues; Public Engagement; Science of Purpose; Islam, Science, & Society; Science-Engaged Theology; and Programs in Latin America.
Individual Freedom & Free Markets: The Individual Freedom & Free Markets Funding Area supports education, research, and grassroots efforts to promote individual freedom, free markets, free competition, and entrepreneurship. Grounded in the ideas of classical liberal political economy, we seek and develop projects that focus on individuals and their place in a free society.
Exceptional Cognitive Talent & Genius: The Exceptional Cognitive Talent & Genius Funding Area supports programs that aim to recognize and nurture exceptional cognitive talent, especially for those at an early stage of life. This Funding Area also supports research concerning the nature of cognitive genius, including extraordinary creativity, curiosity, and imagination.
Genetics: Our current focus is on research and engagement projects that explore fundamental genetic and epigenetic mechanisms regulating inter- and trans-generational transmittance of biological information and health outcomes. We are particularly interested in how early life choices and environmental exposures causally impact development and the early onset of disease, and diagnostic platforms that may predict generational disease susceptibility.
Voluntary Family Planning: The Voluntary Family Planning funding area supports research, programs, and policy development efforts around the world that seek to better understand factors that influence family planning decisions, provide information on and access to family planning methods, and strengthen policy related to effective family planning. We are particularly interested in partnering with faith-based organizations to support this work in their local communities. The Foundation only funds research and programs that affirm the value of human life from conception until natural death.
Deadline: August 20, 2021 (Online Funding Inquiry)
Guidelines: https://www.templeton.org/grants/apply-for-grant
Funding Competition: Psychological Science Cross-Training for Christian Theology
Start dates may range as early as August 1, 2022, and as late as June 1, 2023. Project durations cannot exceed 5 years (or 57 months in the case of organizations that do not have US public charity status), though the Foundation strongly prefers projects that do not exceed 3 years (or 33 months in the case of organizations that do not have US public charity status) in length.

Perfect Foul Shooting In Clutch Wins For Deland - tribunedigital-orlandosentinel
Perfect Foul Shooting In Clutch Wins For Deland
December 5, 1986|By Creig Ewing of The Sentinel Staff
DeLand High School provided a thrilling climax to a standing room only matinee basketball show with Palatka by sinking 14 consecutive free throws in the final six minutes to post a come-from-behind, 59-54, victory Thursday.
Five Bulldogs combined on the perfect shooting from the free-throw line in the clutch. The Bulldogs (1-1) had hit just 5-of-13 previously. Junior point guard Robbie Wilkes, the leading scorer with 19 points, clinched the victory with six free throws in the final 50 seconds.
''I was going up to the line thinking it was just like practice,'' Wilkes said. ''Thank goodness they were enough to win the game.''
The game had an unusual 1:30 p.m. starting time. To ensure a full house students who purchased tickets were allowed out of class to attend the game in the DeLand gym.
''They the fans were like a sixth person out there,'' DeLand Coach John Zeoli said. ''When our kids were pressing and getting steals and everyone was yelling it was like electricity.''
Paltka (1-1) had a 31-22 lead at halftime and led, 41-35, at the start of the fourth period. Then the Bulldogs' full-court pressure defense, effective throughout the game, completely stymied the Panthers.
Trailing, 42-37, with 6:55 remaining, the DeLand's press forced several Panthers turnovers, enabling DeLand to put together a 10-point run and take the lead, 47-42.
Although DeLand, which has an average starting height of 5-11 1/2, probably will be shorter than every team it plays this season, the Bulldogs proved they can win with depth. Zeoli used a platoon system so the minute the five on the court got tired of chasing the Panthers, five fresh players entered.
''The platoon was just excellent. The five guys did just as good a job as the starters. It didn't matter who was in there,'' Zeoli said. ''They might have small bodies but their hearts are big. I wouldn't trade these 12 kids for 12 who are 6-9.''
The Bulldogs got a little too aggressive near the end, fouling the Panthers to let them sink eight free throws and pull within 51-49 with 1:57 left. But forward Ed Miller (8 points) sank a pair of foul shots to increase the lead to four, and Wilkes (who was 7-of-8 from the free-throw line) sank his six to finish the scoring.
Wilkes, listed at 5-9, 140 pounds, is the son of Stetson Coach Glenn Wilkes. It was his second varsity game.
''If there is a kid on the team who wants to take the last shot or any pressure shot it's the Wilkes kid,'' Zeoli said. ''Robbie is going to be a real big help to use this year.''
Willie Smith (8 points), Keith Ruegger and Henry Curry each also sank two free throws on one-and-one opportunities in the final minutes.
Eleven Bulldogs played and nine scored. Center Warren Edwards led the Bulldogs with six rebounds. Miller had five.
Zeoli said he feared the ''third-quarter blues'' that plagued DeLand last year and in a season-opening 54-47 loss to Sanford Seminole Tuesday. The Bulldogs had a 26-23 halftime lead then but shot only four times and scored only four points in the third period.
As the Bulldogs press wore down the Panthers Thursday, DeLand's shots became even easier or they were fouled setting one up. DeLand scored 37 of its 59 points in the second half.
Zeoli said he really liked having all the students attend the first afternoon game, and he would like to schedule another one next year.
''It's a great way to supplement the program and it's good for the school. It's not something you do every week though,'' he said.
Tuesday DeLand travels to Lake Mary to play the Rams at 8 p.m.
''We needed this one bad. We know we can win,'' Wilkes said. ''We lost a tough one with Seminole. Now Lake Mary better watch out.'' | 2018/05/24 04:50:57 | http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1986-12-05/news/0280020136_1_deland-zeoli-wilkes | mC4 | en |
As I had reliably predicted for the October exam, that the Maths would be easier than the Critical Reading section. So said, so done.
I was sorry to hear about the St. Andrews school closure, but this is not the first time, things of this nature happened.
So do wait on the Collegeboard to reschedule. Use the time to study.
I wish to thank the teachers who were present to encourage the students.
I hear Monday is the big day for results. Oh boy! Please check in with the results.

Review: Centaur's "You Will Remember Me" reflects on loss of identity and independence
Roy Surette directs the play's Québec English language premiere at the Centaur until April 2nd

Governor General's Award-winning playwright François Archambault's critically acclaimed French-Canadian play "Tu te souviendras de moi" at last receives its Québec English language premiere this winter after first opening in Montreal at La Licorne in 2014. Translated by Bobby Theodore and directed by Roy Surette, the story uses dementia to explore themes of memory, history, and technology in a riveting new stage production at the Centaur. Read our full review below.
A retired university professor and academic figure of renown in Québec, Edouard (Jean Marchand) is in the early stages of Alzheimer's. A self-proclaimed "walking encyclopedia", his astounding ability to meticulously recite countless historical dates and facts make of him a most worthy Jeopardy contender. At palpable peril, however, is his short-term memory, and the once quick-witted, skirt-chasing alpha male of intellectual prowess suddenly finds himself in the struggle of not even being able to recall what he had for breakfast.
"A lot of people would pay to spend time with me," he pompously claims in all his vainglory; but would they, now, given that he can hardly remember their names from one moment to the next? Tragically, he finds himself slowly falling from grace under a watchful public eye.
Edouard's deteriorating mental condition naturally challenges the compassion of his family. Saddled by the seemingly thankless task of being his caregiver, his wife Madeleine (Lally Cadeau) has decided she needs a break of "indeterminate length", showing up and dumping him unannounced one weekend at their daughter Isabelle's (Johanna Nutter) home. An ambitious journalist, Isabelle is due to hastily leave for an assignment, and she takes up on her new boyfriend Patrick's (Charles Bender) offer to look after her father in her absence. Patrick too soon ends up abandoning the scene for a drinking and gambling affair with friends, leaving a distraught Edouard with the former's angsty texting teenage daughter Berenice (Amanda Silveira) as his interim sitter.
With the intergenerational conflict between them in evident place, Edouard and Berenice's relationship eventually becomes the thread of the narrative. They clash and bicker, but the appearance of a familiar garment from the past blurs the lines between his memory and reality, and the young woman suddenly finds herself as a trigger for his deepest feelings.
Beyond the surface story of the family drama is relevant political commentary as Edouard, a lifelong sovereigntist, reminisces over the Québec referendum to provide a critical analysis of modern Western society. "We live in an era of extreme intellectual mediocrity," he asserts with tremendous passion for the vanished movement. The Internet revolution, he claims, has corrupted the mind and is at fault for the declining state of the contemporary social-media driven culture. (Fret not, however; one is not forced to swallow bitter long-winded historical lectures throughout the play. I daresay Montreal audiences would even be eager to savour additional servings of his musings on René Lévesque.)
Adding another layer to the narrative is the conversation on ecology, a subtheme which most prominently lends itself to Eo Sharp's rustic yet elegant set design. Towering trunks connotative of forest trees effectively fill the vertical space of the black box theatre as video projections provide rich texture to the background. Luc Prairie's masterly lighting always deserves mention, and here it illuminates with fine focus one of our favourite details of the production elements: elongated strands of shimmering, silvery wiring with the occasional tangle that stand to us as parallels of Edouard's own failing neural circuitry.
Lally Cadeau as Madeleine and Jean Marchand as Edouard in "You Will Remember Me" (Photo: Centaur Theatre Company)
Under the leadership of Roy Surette, who here makes his last directorial stint as the outgoing Artistic Director of the Centaur, and assistant director Stuart Fink, Jean Marchand is wholly enthralling and convincing in the challenging portrayal of a complicated man whose brightness has been dimmed by a devastating disease (his brilliance, in fact, makes the disintegration of his mental faculties all the more tragic). Marchand is poised and nuanced, successfully demonstrating the subtleties of progressive dementia.
It is he, de facto, whom you will solely remember in retrospect. While the supporting ensemble of four are fully adept in their craft, their characters are frustratingly underdeveloped – and frankly, rather unlikeable for their collective infidelity towards the aging family patriarch (the exception might be Silveira's Berenice, redeemable for her growing affection towards Marchand's Edouard). True that the arrogant protagonist is no charmer himself, but it's difficult to side with and find great sympathy in a flightly spouse, an absentee offspring, an irresponsible son-in-law-to-be, and a sulky teen in light of his disheartening condition.
The characters' realistic reactions, though, beg us to ask the question: when we too fall to our knees, will our loved ones be willing to go the distance with us?
You Will Remember Me holds up a frightening mirror, forcing us to confront a future one may inevitably face (Alzheimer's hits painfully close to home for this reviewer). Archambault's eloquent script prompts us to reflect on our own approaches to our mutable existences and on the cognitive health that we tend to neglect and take for granted – particularly among the distractions of the digital age.
Here, the loss of independence and identity takes on multiple meanings in light of the gentle political tone of the piece. What constitutes memory and how history shapes people are topics that sparked our curiosity amidst the story's call for compassion. And, despite its wrinkles, Centaur's You Will Remember Me sits alongside Tableau D'Hôte's Another Home Invasion as one of the more recent productions in Montreal English language theatre to graciously incorporate the delicate subject of dementia into a sharp, humorous narrative (although, admittedly, the latter still has the upper hand for its visceral impact on us.) Abundant in wit and spirit, don't miss it before it's gone come April 2nd.

Next Star QB Prospects - Page 2 - Draft Countdown Forums
If I'm Jacksonville, I'm starting Gabbert for another year.
Teddy could move, he almost ended up playing WR in college.
Bridgewater is much bigger than both, he's 6'3 220.
Hogan and Bridgewater, yes.
Mariota and Manziel, MassNole
Bridgewater is more of a pocket passer than Wilson.
bridgewater by a country mile
bridgewater is the sole reason strong did not take the tennesse job.
he's a taller Donovan McNabb
Russell Wilson is short but he's built. Manziel is just puny, he would get destroyed in the NFL, really don't see much of an nfl career for him, maybe if he puts on 30-40 lbs of muscle but then how fast would he be?
Manziel just turned 20 and his weight is listed about the same as Wilson...
And Manziel had more yards rushing vs Alabama than Detmer has his whole college career. But don't let facts get in the way of bad comparisons.
Somebody dropped the Detmer comparison during the Alabama game so you know that will be the gospel forever.
He could declare but there probably wouldn't be a whole lot of interest. With Sefarian-Jenkins and Kasen Williams back next year he could have a year that might get him drafted.
I like Bridgewater, Driskell, and Bell for the 2015 class. I got a feeling all 3 are 4 year guys and will be future mid to high 1st round picks.
Ever since seeing the female sideline reporter at equal height with him, I'm not sold on his listed height. She could have just been very tall with heels, but you usually don't see that.
Be real interested to see if Max Wittek can add his name to this conversation. He has a big time arm and looked pretty good for a Fresh. against ND.
Mariota could turn into a 2nd or 3rd rounder... His arm is decent, and he actually had good placement on a lot of his touch throws.
Judging by his ability to breakaway from players, I'd assume his speed is around 4.5 to 4.6
Combine this with his stats and size, he'll definitely go within the top three rounds...
This thread is now about Teddy Bridgewater.
I'd like to see him used more in a traditional pro offense but that isn't going to happen there at UO. I thought when he was forced to scramble against better teams his accuracy dipped so he needs to probably improve his footwork a bit. Some added arm stength wouldn't hurt either.
One guy I'm interested to see how he plays is Blake Bell. Wonder how that OU offense will be with him running the show next year.
If Stephen Morris improves his accuracy on short to intermediate routes, I can see him getting drafted in third or fourth round. He throws a beautiful deep ball and has underrated athleticism.
Mariota and Manziel, Let me guess, you're saying that because the offense Oregon runs.
Not exactly sure, why a tall, athletic, strong arm, accurate and fast qb that is a FRESHMAN deserves a facepalm. | 2016/02/06 19:01:48 | http://draftcountdown.com/forum/showthread.php?p=3209632 | mC4 | en |

Entry tags: 10 years of snarry, art
Happy Anniversary, Snarry!
I'm so new to this pairing compared to so many of you. I do love these two so much however...it has become an obsession big past time the last couple of years or so. My first Snarry piece of art was for joanwilder/RaeWhit's story Down the Rabbit Hole.
Title: The (Not) Anniversary Surprise
Disclaimer: Not mine. Don't want the accounting nightmare.
I hope we have at least ten more years of Snarry and more!
2010-10-23 08:51 am UTC (link)
The details are exquisite - the buttons,the wave in Harry's hair, the calendar - all are amazingly gorgeous! And your Severus is just wonderful, the angles of his face and that nose!
Thank you, hon! As usual, you were my wonderful late night cheerleader. I couldn't have done it without you! *hugs*
2010-10-23 09:35 am UTC (link)
I think I've fallen in love all over again :)
I love the expression of Severus' face, he knows just what Harry is up to and still looks at him with *dare I say* love and resignation. And Harry is concentrating so hard, he doesn't even realise he's being spied on.
The detail like lilyseyes says is just breath taking.
I so love your work, but every new piece I fall in love with these two all over again
You've made me cry, darn it. ;)
You always are just full of the most wonderful things to say. I just luv you like the dickens. ♥
2010-10-23 09:43 am UTC (link)
This is gorgeous! Well, all your Snarry art is gorgeous. I love the way you use colour in particular.
2010-10-24 03:55 am UTC (link)
Awww, thank you! I really am quite the color addict. Even when I try to tone it down, I usually fail. :p
2010-10-23 01:43 pm UTC (link)
Beautiful! I especially love the detail of the calendar.
2010-10-24 03:56 am UTC (link)
The calendar was one of the first things I made. :p I cheated used a shortcut by borrowing the castle I painted for the "Back to Hogwarts" banner.
2010-10-23 03:29 pm UTC (link)
Awww! They just look so happy. *hugs them and you*
Beautiful, darling! Great job. :)
2010-10-24 03:57 am UTC (link)
Thanks, bb! It was a fun piece to put together. :)
2010-10-23 04:11 pm UTC (link)
Oh they both look so marvelous. ♥ A very happy anniversary indeed! Wonderful work.
Thanks, hon! I was hoping it would be a success...it sure has been a fun "party" today!
2010-10-23 08:16 pm UTC (link)
Ooh, you can tell they're going to have a wonderful celebration! Gorgeous picture. ♥
2010-10-24 03:58 am UTC (link)
Awww, thanks so much! I had fun putting this one together. :)
2010-10-23 08:27 pm UTC (link)
Just soooo beautiful. I love your Harry and Severus and I love how their robes fit them!! Actually, I love the details on the robes. The calendar is great, too. Just lovely.
I love doing something a bit different with robes (they don't always have to be billowing blobs, do they?) I got to cheat use a shortcut on the calendar, as I used the castle I painted for the "Back to Hogwarts" festival banner.
Thanks, hon...I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
2010-10-24 01:19 am UTC (link)
How I love the fact that I can see Harry's & Severus' taut, firm, muscles under their elegant robes! Oh yesss! The bottle Slytherin green color of Harry's robe echoed in the champagne bottle, &, of course, those magnificent eye's of his is very beautiful.
The icing on their anniversary cake is so smooth it must be fondant. I do wish that I had Harry's wand to write on cakes with—it's just so easy to screw that kind of thing up!
I love, too, the gloss on Harry's & Severus' very touchable-looking hair, & the reflection on the champagne bottle & glasses.
The Hogwarts calendar is a great touch, as is Severus' patient expression as he waits for a very focused Harry to turn around. Priceless!
I love to do something different with robes than make them billowing blobs. What's wrong with some tailoring? (Nothing, we clearly all agree.) ;)
I thought of fondant on the cake because I watch too much Food Network. The cake challenge shows are my daughter's favorite.

I'm thrilled you enjoyed it so much and you left me such a wonderful comment! It really made me squeal, hon. Thanks!
I am in love with the expression on Snape's face. He looks so delightfully fond of Harry and all the effort he's going to when there is just no way he has the subtlety to pull one over on a spy as skilled as Severus. It's adorable that he still tries. Harry even circled the date in red! *glee*
And how much do I love all the detail work? The castle for the Back to Hogwarts Fest banner as the picture on the calendar made me squee! And I love those well-tailored robes. Though I imagine they will look much better draped over one of those off-screen kitchen chairs. ;D Fabulous!
I love designing the tailored robes. Who says wizard robes have to always be billowing blobs anyway? ;) Yes, they would look better draped over the back of a chair
I'm so thrilled you liked it so much and I was happy to have it ready for the boys' anniversary. It was a fabulous party day!

Okay, firstly, I loooove the shadowing. I'm such a sucker for good shadowing. Hee!
Similarly, the subtle patterns in both their robes, and the tablecloth. Gorgeous little bits of texture. :D
I love the way Harry's just concentrating so hard, and Severus looks so indulgent. <3
Aaand finally, I like the way Harry's robe looks more like an over-robe+shrug sort of thing; my imagination makes what he's wearing under it much more racy. Bwaaaahahaha. :D | 2019/01/17 15:21:29 | http://asylums.insanejournal.com/snape_potter/536100.html | mC4 | en |
Thioredoxins (Trxs) are a group of small ubiquitous proteins that are key regulators of cellular redox balance. The mammalian Trx family includes the secreted and cellular protein (Trx-1), the mitochondria-specific Trx-2, the Trx-like cytosolic protein p32TrxL, a truncated version of Trx-1 known as Trx80, and the thioredoxin-related protein, TRP-14. Trx-1 is secreted by lymphocytes, hepatocytes, fibroblasts, and several tumor cells. Trx-1 acts as a growth factor an, antioxidant, a cofactor that provides reducing equivalents, and a transcriptional regulator. Expression of Trx-1 is increased under various stress conditions such as hypoxia and viral and bacterial infections. It also serves as a biomarker for rheumatoid arthritis. | 2021-12-08T18:31:39Z | https://www.rndsystems.com/target/thioredoxin-80 | OSCAR-2201 | en |
Lambert was the first to introduce hyperbolic functions into trigonometry. Also, he made conjectures regarding non-Euclidean space. Lambert is credited with the first proof that π is irrational. He used a generalized continued fraction for the function tan x. Euler believed but could not prove that π was irrational, and it is speculated that Aryabhata also believed this, in 500 CE. [1][2] Lambert also devised theorems regarding conic sections that made the calculation of the orbits of comets simpler.
Lambert devised a formula for the relationship between the angles and the area of hyperbolic triangles. These are triangles drawn on a concave surface, as on a saddle, instead of the usual flat Euclidean surface. Lambert showed that the angles added up to less than π (radians), or 180°. The amount of shortfall, called the defect, increases with the area. The larger the triangle's area, the smaller the sum of the angles and hence the larger the defect CΔ = π — (α + β + γ). That is, the area of a hyperbolic triangle (multiplied by a constant C) is equal to π (in radians), or 180°, minus the sum of the angles α, β, and γ. Here C denotes, in the present sense, the negative of the curvature of the surface (taking the negative is necessary as the curvature of a saddle surface is defined to be negative in the first place). As the triangle gets larger or smaller, the angles change in a way that forbids the existence of similar hyperbolic triangles, as only triangles that have the same angles will have the same area. Hence, instead of expressing the area of the triangle in terms of the lengths of its sides, as in Euclid's geometry, the area of Lambert's hyperbolic triangle can be expressed in terms of its angles.
Lambert was the first mathematician to address the general properties of map projections. In particular he was the first to discuss the properties of conformality and equal area preservation and to point out that they were mutually exclusive. (Snyder 1993[3] p77). In 1772, Lambert published[4][5] seven new map projections under the title Anmerkungen und Zusätze zur Entwerfung der Land- und Himmelscharten, (translated as Notes and Comments on the Composition of Terrestrial and Celestial Maps by Waldo Tobler (1972)[6]). Lambert did not give names to any of his projections but they are now known as:
The first three of these are of great importance.[3][7] Further details may be found at map projections and in several texts.[3][8][9]
Lambert invented the first practical hygrometer. In 1760, he published a book on photometry, the Photometria. From the assumption that light travels in straight lines, he showed that illumination was proportional to the strength of the source, inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the illuminated surface and the sine of the angle of inclination of the light's direction to that of the surface. These results were supported by experiments involving the visual comparison of illuminations and used for the calculation of illumination. In Photometria Lambert also formulated the law of light absorption—the Beer–Lambert law) and introduced the term albedo.[10] He wrote a classic work on perspective and contributed to geometrical optics. The photometric unit lambert is named in recognition of his work in establishing the study of photometry. Lambert was also a pioneer in the development of three-dimensional colour models. Late in life, he published a description of a triangular colour pyramid, which shows a total of 107 colours on six different levels, variously combining red, yellow and blue pigments, and with an increasing amount of white to provide the vertical component.[11] He was assisted in this project by the court painter Benjamin Calau[12]
In his main philosophical work, Neues Organon (New Organon, 1764), Lambert studied the rules for distinguishing subjective from objective appearances. This connects with his work in the science of optics. In 1765 he began corresponding with Immanuel Kant who intended to dedicate to him the Critique of Pure Reason but the work was delayed, appearing after his death.[13]
Lambert also developed a theory of the generation of the universe that was similar to the nebular hypothesis that Thomas Wright and Immanuel Kant had (independently) developed. Wright published his account in An Original Theory or New Hypothesis of the Universe (1750), Kant in Allgemeine Naturgeschichte und Theorie des Himmels, published anonymously in 1755. Shortly afterward, Lambert published his own version of the nebular hypothesis of the origin of the solar system in Cosmologische Briefe über die Einrichtung des Weltbaues (1761). Lambert hypothesized that the stars near the sun were part of a group which travelled together through the Milky Way, and that there were many such groupings (star systems) throughout the galaxy. The former was later confirmed by Sir William Herschel. In astrodynamics he also solved the problem of determination of time of flight along an section of orbit, known now as Lambert's problem. His work in this area is commemorated by the Asteroid 187 Lamberta named in his honour.
Johann-Heinrich Lambert is the author of a treatise on logic, which he called Neues Organon (1764), that is to say, the New Organon. The most recent edition of this work named after Aristotle's Organon was issued in 1990 by the Akademie-Verlag of Berlin. To say nothing of the fact that in it one has the first appearance of the term phenomenology,[14] one can find therein a very pedagogical presentation of the various kinds of syllogism. In A System of Logic Ratiocinative and Inductive, John-Stuart Mill expresses his admiration for Johann Heinrich Lambert.
