How Much do Alligator Snapping Turtles Cost?
The alligator snapping turtle is one of the largest freshwater turtles in the world and is very distinguishable from other types of turtles: They have large heads with a strong, beak-like jaws and spiky ridges running along their shells. Because of this primitive-like appearance, these turtles are usually associated with dinosaurs.
Although they are most at home in deep, muddy holes in the rivers and streams, they can adapt to different environments since they are amphibians. These amazing creatures can be found anywhere from Georgia to Indiana.

Iran May Have Missiles To Reach Europe–So What?
A new report indicates Iran will have a capability by 2014 of sending missiles into Europe and within a decade would be able to hit the shores of the United States of America. The International Institute for Strategic Studies(IISS) forecasts this development because Iran was making robust strides in developing ballistic missiles even as it furthers its nuclear capabilities. IISS studies suggest the two programs may well be intertwined in order to produce an Iran which could threaten the world. There is growing evidence Iran will soon have the capacity to field intermediate-range missiles.
So, what does this mean for the world. If one takes the worst case scenario and Iran fired a missile toward Europe, the response by France and England (most probably also joined by Israel) would be a devastating attack on Iranian cities that would destroy a good part of its infrastructure and create millions of people seeking refuge from these attacks. It would be madness on the part of Iranian leaders to fire missiles anywhere knowing full well, Europe, the United States and Israel had the capacity to level the nation of Iran. At best, they could only hope for a one shot attack before destruction visited their nation. Granted, there are Muslim leaders who seek to visit Heaven, but would they wish that upon their nation?
Iran Continues Missile Development
The firing of still another advanced Iranian missile has angered nations in Europe and the United States. Iran’s Defense Ministry noted its Sajjil-2 missile may have a capability of going anywhere from 1200 to 2,000 miles and could hit areas in Europe as well as in Israel. The missile is supposedly more accurate than predecessor weapons. Iranian General Vahidi told his nation’s television audience, “given its high speed, it is impossible to destroy the missile with anti-missile systems because of its radar evading ability.” The firing of the missile, together with the tough stand of the Ahmadinejad government, suggests there will be no compromise with the West about its nuclear development program.
Karim Sadjadpour, a leading expert on Iran, says the missile is simply an Iranian reaction to being pressured by the West. The conservative media is filled with claims that Iran will soon be sending missiles headed towards Europe, and, one day, towards America. The sky is not falling. Yes, Iran can send missiles to other nations, but for every Iranian missile the West possesses a hundred of its own. Any Iranian missile attack would result in the destruction of the entire nation of Iran and its leaders have enough sense to realize it is one thing to threaten, but another to act on the threat.
War Of Words Or War Of Guns With Iran?
The legacy of George Bush will extend into the coming decade and nowhere is this more evident than the situation between Western powers and Iran. In 2001 and 2002 there was an opportunity for America to establish close ties with the reform Iran government of President Khatami but Bush blew the opportunity by blasting Iran as part of the “axis of Evil.” Today, a crazy man heads Iran and Ahmadinejad is threatening missile strikes if anyone intrudes on the sovereignty of his nation. On Friday, Iran flaunted its power by firing advanced long-range missiles capable of hitting Israel.
Ahmadinejad is out to prove he is tough. He is a bully. Some European nations argue an embargo of refined oil will hurt the Iranian population. This is not a reason to hold back, the Iranian population without any embargo is being hurt and its liberties ripped apart by a man who wants power. Short term suffering is well worth the opportunity to compel Iranian leaders to come to the bargaining table. This is not the time to lack courage to focus on long term interests of the Iranian people.
North Korea Threatens Missiles-Is It A Serious Threat?
What’s Going On In North Korea?
Is North Korea For Real?
Can US Knock Down North Korean Missiles?
Missiles And Missiles- What About Them?
Almost two decades ago when the Soviet Union collapsed, there was hope it also marked the end of concern about missile attacks, but recent events suggest, old fears have become new ones. Iran launched what was considered to be a successful missile which went over one thousand miles, a sufficient distance to impact either Europe or Israel. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates noted it was still unclear if the missile actually hit an intended target. At the same time, President Obama and Gates were debating the need to pursue George Bush’s idea for a missile defense system in eastern Europe which is strongly opposed by Russia.
The Czech Republic government which agreed to cooperate on a missile system has fallen and most opinion polls indicate most Czechs do not want to have anything to do with missile systems in their nation. The intelligent process is to invite Russia to become partners in an anti-missile system that protects it from attack as well as Europe. Of course, why would Iran launch a missile attack knowing full well it would result in a barrage of missiles pounding its own country?
North Korea Continues Its Mysterious Ways
The ever mysterious machinations of North Korean leaders at times come across as simply a desire to keep the world confused concerning exactly what is going on up north. The Japanese newspaper, Sankei Shimbun reveals North Korea will launch a satellite into orbit with the assistance of a team of experts from Iran. American and South Korean Intelligence sources believe the North Koreans are going to launch a middle range ballistic missile. It is assumed the missile will be a veiled warning to the United Nations and anyone else that North Korean will not accept sanctions and intends to do as it pleases.
The presence of Iranian missile experts is only bound to increase tension both in the Middle East and in Asia. At some point, the world has to engage Iran in meaningful dialogue concerning the need to reduce missiles and nuclear development. All too often these days the road to peace lies through Tehran.
Sarkozy Puts Thumbs Down On Bush Missile Plan
President Bush has insisted for over a year there is need for a missile defense system in Poland to protect Europe against missiles from “rogue” nations like Iran or North Korea. Of course, North Korea is presently cooperating with the world on its nuclear development and Iran, as of this date, has no missiles, and certainly no plans to send any to Europe. President Nicolas Sarkozy, at a meeting with President Medvedev who is upset at missiles being stationed on his border, told the Russian leader of his misgivings about the missile system. “Deployment of a missile defense system would bring nothing to security… it would complicate things and would make them move backward.” His remarks came after a week in which Medvedev warned about the possibility of deploying Russian missiles to the border of Poland.
Sarkozy is the current president of the European Union and is concerned that Bush plans only would result in furthering hostility in Europe. “We could continue between Europe and Russia to threaten each other with shields, with missiles, with navies. It would do Russia no good, Georgia no good, and Europe no good.”
Hopefully, newly elected president Obama will sit down with Sarkozy and get his take on the situation rather than listening to the crazy ideas of George Bush.

Annals of enviro-hypocrisy, chapter 1,823: The Edge wants to build five 10,000 square foot "green" mansions on one Malibu property. Seriously.
The Edge wants to build five 10,000-square-foot mansions on his pristine Malibu property (complete with a new mountain access road dug for them). (Why do you need five mansions? I guess one for you, and the other five for guests? Or maybe to house hundreds of displaced families from Darfur?) And he's trying to claim it's a green effort. No word on whether he's also building a landing strip for his private jet there.
"The project...calls for a cluster of five, 10,000-square-foot homes. The two-story, earth-toned dwellings would be the maximum size allowed in areas designated as environmentally sensitive habitat.
Renderings show organic design features such as a pool that encircles one home like a moat. Another house would wrap around an existing pile of boulders while The Edge's own dwelling would feature curved roof lines to simulate leaves."
He says the houses will all be gold LEED certified. The only problem is that the houses are too big, about five times too big, to receive LEED certification. What he's doing defeats the entire purpose of green building.
As Bono might say, how long must we sing this song?

Support the Troops – Let Them Treat PTSD with Cannabis
Alex Pietrowski
Activist Post
It’s a tough time to be a US military veteran. Not only is there no end in sight for US foreign interventions, but the economy here at home is in terrible shape, veterans are seeing record numbers of suicides, extremely high levels of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), nearly a million US vets are on food stamps, and to make matters worse, veteran’s benefits are being cut by the Federal government, again.
On top of this, it appears that the US Public Health Service (PHS) is stone-walling legitimate and legal efforts by the FDA and the University of Arizona to study how the natural medicine Cannabis may be of significant value in treating PTSD.
PTSD is considered a life-threatening illness, as people suffering from PTSD are at increased risk of homelessness, drug abuse and alcoholism, and are more likely to commit suicide.
Cannabis has, in recent years, gained tremendous popular and legal support as both a valid a medicine for many physical and psychological ailments, and recreational substance for the general public.
The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), a non-profit research and educational organization that develops medical, legal, and cultural contexts for people to benefit from the careful uses of psychedelics and marijuana has recently issued an alert that the US Public Health Service (PHS) is blocking a study on the benefits of Cannabis as an effective and natural treatment for PTSD. Arguing for years that psychedelic medicines have profound and scientifically validated healing effects for psychological problems associated with combat, MAPS is calling on the public for support in their efforts to pursue further research in this area:
A Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and University of Arizona Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved protocol for a study of marijuana for symptoms of PTSD in U.S. veterans, sponsored by the non-profit Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), has been on hold for over 3½ months, as researchers wait for the PHS to respond to their request to purchase marijuana for the study.
MAPS goes on to clarify the matter further in a recent press release:
Thousands of veterans and other medical marijuana patients nationwide use marijuana to treat symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) is blocking researchers who are seeking to learn more about the risks and benefits of the treatment…
MAPS notes that this study could provide doctors with more options for treating PTSD patients who’ve “been unresponsive to traditional therapies,” says Rick Doblin, Ph.D., Executive Director of MAPS.
The bulletin offers insight into the role the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) is playing in the effort to prevent this research that aims to directly benefit our nation’s most affected ex-soldiers, while citing conflicting policies regarding the clinical research of Schedule I drugs, which includes Cannabis.
MAPS resubmitted a revised protocol on Oct. 24, 2013, after the original protocol was rejected by the PHS in September, 2011. Unfortunately, unlike the FDA, which must respond to submissions within 30 days of receiving them, the PHS has no such time limit. Meanwhile, the PHS is successfully preventing FDA and IRB-approved research from taking place.
“The stifling of medical research on marijuana stands in the way of our vets returning to a normal life,” says Dr. Sue Sisley, who would lead the study.
Other research into this area has already concluded that Cannabis is indeed a potent and effective medicine for reducing the negative long-term affects associated with combat stress:
Another fascinating discovery, one with implications for PTSD, is that the cannabinoid system is integrally related to memory, specifically to memory extinction. Memory extinction is the normal, healthy process of removing associations from stimuli. [Source]
Cannabis is available in some states for the treatment of PTSD; however, “many states still do not count PTSD as a disorder that warrants a medical marijuana card. Because of this, veterans are seeking other legal and non-legal ways to procure weed,” writes Thor Benson of Vice. Veterans should not, in any state, have to risk breaking the law in search for relief from a psychological condition incurred while directly serving the US government.
The fact that the government would prevent research of a natural medicine for the cure of PTSD speaks volumes about our government’s overall lack of interest in a genuine commitment to the mental health and wellness of our soldiers after returning from combat zones. Now that Cannabis legalization is should be made more widely available to doctors as a remedy for PTSD.
Whatever your opinion of the US government and US military, it is a sad reality that America’s troops are treated poorly by the federal government and have few options for prosperity after serving in the armed forces today. Additionally, observers of history would do well to note that it is dangerous for a free society to have so many disaffected ex-soldiers amongst the population, especially at a time when we have a growing police state here at home.

Support the troops - don't send 'em to the other side of the world to kill people who never intended to hurt them, for the profit of psychopaths.
PTSD is less likely to happen, IMHO, if you are defending your own, not attacking others for no good reason
Make defense, not offence their true function.
Better still, end all wars, which means dismantling the systems of government we have at present.
Without so called 'leaders' no one could be lead into war.

You know, really getting tired of the "hoorah, support our troops" stuff. Let's all give a salute to those who have "served their country.
They are not special and unique.
You know, as a social worker who did forensic evaluations of and testified in court as an expert witness on behalf of many, domestically sexually/physically abused children, well, where's the standing ovation for that? Do I not deserve equal and respectful recognition for serving the children of my own country?
No, we continued to aggrandize the entitlements and victimhoods of soldiers who VOLUNTARILY signed up to go on over and kill millions of innocent women, children and men for corporate profit.
Let's stop with the patriotic zombie stuff and get our priorities straight.
When someone can explain to me why killing others in a uniform should be heralded as bravery over working doggedly to protect the safety of our own children in our own country (which is what I chose to do) well, then, maybe I will start listening. If you have an explanation for this grotesque imbalance of values, please, do write.
Otherwise, sit down and and shut up, soldiers and all you pom pom, cheerleading soldier girls.
You signed up for the money (yup, many received over $100,000 for "re-upping" to go on out and, again, kill innocent people for the sugar daddy corporations). That is morally reprehensible.
So stop whining and making a spectacle of yourselves. it's embarrassing to you. have some dignity, take your hits like the rest of us and remain satisfied, if you can (which I doubt) that, in your heart of hearts, you did the right thing. I did. Right here at home, with NO benefits nor cheering, really. did you do that, soldier kids? I don't think so.
Grow up and stop your entitled victimhood whining about how you are being abused by the system. I know hundreds of thousands of children who have suffered far more than you. And tens of thousands here in our own country who try to help them for almost nothing.
Really tired of the aggrandizement of war and those who perpetrate it. NONE of you soldiers deserve anything more than the rest of us. Okay? Your time would have been much better spent staying at home with your own families rather than going out and killing other families in foreign lands.
disgusted by the military and those who serve it.

@ ANON Feb 28 7:16
I am so glad that you wrote as you did and I agree that there are millions of people working in ways that truly strengthen our communitys.
The hyping of our military has gotten into realms of mysticism and pagan religious practices; So overbearing that they over shadow the hard workings of millions of Americans and by their barbarism have truly helped destroy this nation.
All those who understand the real workings of such as Anon @7:16 have always done and then to think of the tens of millions who do great creative works and never get true recognition for their contributions towards improving not just their own lives but so many others they will never see.
Beyond the hype and patriotic bullshit being in the military is a very simple lifestyle and today is vastly over paid and compensated occupation. They kill for corporates and are paid well for doing so and when they get even a little bit fucked up they cry like hell for not the corporTions to pay but steal from the working peoples treasury
I once was tougher than tough and no physical pain that I could not endure but after volunteering just three days at a hospital for children I asked to be placed in an portion where I did not need to see children dying.
I have packed maimed and dead friends had blood all over me trying to save mens limbs and lives never hit me as hard as those children smiling as the fought just to exist.
There are hundreds who work at that hospital that are paid but there are about 100 a day volunteers and two or three times a year almost all of Oregons High schools have drives too raise funds.
THAT ONE HOSPITAL AND THOSE THOUSANDS OF Oregon residents are true american s ; no not heros in their eyes but in mine.
I have seen no act by a military u iform that can compare to what is possible by those Oregonians actions.
And no fucking man in uniform is fighting for their rights or supporting any fucking thing but their own small world as they support one of most corrupt regimes on this earth.
Most people are contributing each in own ways; I met a public transit Bus Driver who drove hundreds of thousands of safe miles who upon retirement volunteered to drive for Catholic charitys, and a retired school teaher who took just about half her pension to buy needy andvqualified students their own instruments, she was almost totally deaf but the music she sees is in the childs demeanors as they play.
Yes time to put back the pagans and damned chridtion zio ist whose tax rip offs promote their own bigotry snd blood lust by using our military as they seek Armageddon.

Comments by both first and second posts are exactly correct.
Our misplaced patriotic conditioning to admire the modern military as great defenders iis just an example of the top parasites using them as dumb brutes to do their dirty work.
Just as mentioned, these men... no boys and girls, signed up for the money and the opportunity to play real life call to duty video games.
Besides, the top parasites have invested a lot of money in to training, conditioning, drugging, and then relocating these military owned biological machinery experiments to become abusive cops here in the US.
How bad, and blatant must it get before the people realize those in charge are not in their right minds.
The continuation of tolerating these insane people make the rest of the world think we are just as crazy

Marijuana has been shown to help with PTSD over and over. Of course since it cannot be patented and produce profit for the Pharma Corp it remains illegal. One way to end this madness is to insist on the rule of law being strictly adhered to. Senate candidate Cruz stated this recently in a speech pointing out the inconsistency prevalent in the enforcement community. If for instance, we really were subscribing to the rule of law drugs would soon be legalized. Due to the current malicious prosecution of the less moneyed in comparison to the lack of prosecution of the connected and wealthy the system is simply unfair. There is a massive disconnect between justice and the courts and it begs the question; are we a nation governed by law or a nation governed by men.
If we became again a nation governed by laws and as soon as some of these people get prosecuted the same way as the poor and indigent are there will magically be a turnaround in the nation’s drug laws.
The same is true with the “too big to fail” banks and the “too big to jail’ power brokers currently running this country to the ground. Imagine the oil companies actually having to answer for the spills and destruction they cause. And, maybe we could question the designers and company executives about being held responsible for the flawed design of the nuclear plant in Japan. Imagine getting some straight answers about chem-trails once we reestablish the rule of law.
This country was not founded and the Constitution enacted so only the general population have to obey the law and others who are the rich and powerful are exempt. No, if a law is good for the people then all people must follow it. If that is not satisfactory then procedures are put in place to change the law. It is inherently wrong in a free society to have vague prejudicial laws and arbitrary enforcement. All these laws regulating human behavior would soon be abolished at about the time some power brokers gets busted for gambling, prostitution, drugs or driving under the influence and has to serve the same sentence as the guy in the trailer park received for the same offence. Notice, all the crimes I listed were behaviors which generated no victims. This may be the whole point.
No victim, no crime. What a revolutionary idea. It goes the constitutionally recognized right to pursue life, liberty and happiness. Funny how these pursuits have become criminal.

From Anon 7:16pm
Thank you all for "getting" the point I was making. It is risky to pierce the veils of illusion/delusion and just say it like it is. I have to say I was afraid to put it out there and relieved that so many more are understanding the issue. I had to stand up in naming courage versus complacency and just zombie obeisance to an idea fed to us my gov/msm/etc.
Our government long took over the idea of "warrior"- in my view adult men and women united for mature and just causes - long ago and manipulated the term to describe what are really just vacuous, boy/girl "soldiers" willing to just do what they are told. Thus, I have absolutely NO tolerance for the soldiers now coming out of the bunkers in NV, having spent years droning other people to death from a distance, and refusing to work up some kind of sympathy for them. Had they used their empathy and compassion in the first place, they would have chosen the courageous thing and refused to push those murdering buttons. Don't waste my time with their whining "confessions" now. Okay? You did it. You own it. And you have to live with it yourself.
Discernment is key, as well as an interest in linguistics and a refusal to just go with the offered narrative.
We are seriously disconnected from humane values here and, just had to point out the errors of our current values.
At any rate, thank you all for your support of the views that I wrote. We really do have to re-adjust our morals, ethics and values if we are ever, again, to rise to our best as a country. Let's just all commit to do it, one moment at a time.

Sentence Examples
• "Free-thinker" (in Germany, Freidenker) was generally taken to be synonymous with "deist," though obviously capable of a wider signification, and as coincident with esprit fort and with libertin in the original and theological sense of the word.(Fn 1) "Naturalists" was a name frequently used of such as recognized no god but nature, of so-called Spinozists, atheists; but both in England and Germany, in the 18th century, this word was more commonly and aptly in use for those who founded their religion on the lumen naturae alone.

Grayscale with weighted colors
I'm trying to reproduce the results of Photoshop's "Black and White" color adjustments (Image -> Adjustments -> Black and White) in OpenCV, however I was not able to figure out how they calculate the resulting intensity image. What confuses me is that they use percentages in the HSV color space, and I'm not sure to what the percentage relates to, the "value" channel? Also the percentages range from -200% to +300%....
I created some samples using a color wheel, maybe somebody could give me a hint about how to calculate the intensity?
Thanks a lot in advance :)

No is a horrible answer. The kind of game you would like to play depends on your likes and dislikes. World of Warcraft is decent, and I've heard that Maplestory is okay as well. WoW costs money to play though, and again, I don't know that much about Maplestory, but I think it's free.
Second Answer : Maplestory is free, however, since Nexon took control over it, they have added a lot of things that give advantages to paying players, over players who play it for free. For example, you can get rare items from Gachapon for paying real money, you can now buy Money and Experience, and equipment that is a lot more powerful compared to free equipment. I however, still play without paying, and do have some fun on it, despite being poor as hell. If you do play Maplestory, dont expect a welcoming reception, 90% of players are idiots, 9% are bigot's who think they are better than the other 91% of players, and the 1% left are very friendly and welcoming, yet are very hard to find.

EXCLUSIVE-UPDATE 1-Peru's Merino to push for payment of defaulted bonds
Wed Mar 14, 2012 1:53am GMT
(Adds comments related to Conga project)
* Land bonds a bitter chapter in Peruvian history
* Outstanding bonds worth $1 billion to $3 billion; swap proposed
* Merino says more to Peru's economy than Conga project
By Terry Wade
LIMA, March 13 (Reuters) - Beatriz Merino, arguably the most respected public figure in Peru, is taking on a new role as the advocate for holders of the country's infamous land bonds who want the government to finally pay billions of dollars in old debts.
Merino, a lawyer by training and Peru's first woman prime minister, told Reuters in an interview on Tuesday that the time has come for the executive branch to end a 40-year-old controversy and take care of a liability estimated at $1 billion to $3 billion, or nearly 2 percent of gross domestic product, by paying off the bonds issued to people whose land was seized for redistribution.
She has considerable political weight and is a rarity in the Andean country because she is well-regarded by both the left and the right in a polarized country. Widely seen as both capable and incorruptible, she was sounded out to lead President Ollanta Humala's cabinet before he took office in July.
Merino - a former member of Congress who has headed the country's tax agency, association of pension funds and its ombudsman's office - said previous governments have created a "constitutional infraction" by disregarding a 2001 ruling from the Constitutional Tribunal that told the executive branch to pay the land bonds. Peru's judiciary has said the bonds are in default.
Congress did the same last year. Each of the last four presidents tried periodically to address the issue but balked at paying up.
"I don't think any state can be in a position to ask its citizens to uphold the law if it itself doesn't uphold the law," she said. "No state can ask people to respect court decisions if it itself doesn't do so."
Peru's ombudsman's office, which is tasked with making sure the state respects human rights, has also urged governments to pay the land bonds since the early 2000s. That was before Merino, who has at times been talked about as a potential presidential candidate, took charge of the agency.
"This shouldn't go on any longer and it can't go on any longer," Merino said.
“Peru today has a respected economy and aspires to be a first-world country. With that comes responsibilities. And one of those responsibilities is to honor its debts.”
In what became one of the most bitter chapters in Peruvian history, the agricultural bonds were issued in the 1970s during a chaotic land redistribution program started by leftist dictator Gen. Juan Velasco, who sought to take farms from the rich and hand them over to peasants.
Many middle-class planters were also ensnared in the program, which caused Peru's agricultural output to collapse as 5,000 farms were seized between 1969 and 1981.
Agricultural output plummeted following the redistribution, which took farms from aristocrats and middle-class planters alike and handed them over to workers and the poor.
Hundreds of court cases have been filed over the years to demand payment and a small number of them have been ruled in favor of bondholders who sued the agriculture ministry. Other cases could be tied up in courts for years.
But the vast majority of bondholders have never bothered to file claims. Some have sold their bonds at deep discounts in an informal secondary market. Internet sites in Peru post advertisements to sell the bonds.
Creditors include groups representing thousands of families who lost their farms, Peru's biggest bank, Banco de Credito del Peru (CRE.LM), and the investment fund Gramercy.
Although Peru has won investment-grade credit ratings over the last couple of years as its economy has boomed, it is still haunted by four fiscal skeletons: the land bonds, a retirement fund for the military, a similar fund for fisherman and a government-run housing program that went bust. That housing fund, known as Fonavi, is in the process of being paid.
Merino said that if Humala - who has named market-friendly technocrats to key economic policy posts - were to pay the bonds, it could calm investors worried about the strength of Peru's institutions. [ID:nRISKPE]
"I believe they could send a national and international signal that compliance with the mandates of the courts is a moral, legal and constitutional aim of this government," she said.
To avert pressure on the budget, creditors say the government should carry out a swap that would allow owners of the land bonds to exchange their illiquid paper for new sovereign bonds with long-dated maturities. A swap would marginally add to the country's debt burden.
Creditors say the country's tax agency is best equipped to carry out the swap and verify the authenticity of old bonds people own.
Some creditors have proposed donating 10 percent of the payments to a foundation that would give out college scholarships to poor kids and finance development projects in rural Peru.
Asked whether he would pay the land bonds, Finance Minister Luis Miguel Castilla said in February: "I don't think this is at the top of the agenda at this moment but Peru must honor all of its liabilities."
Merino said paying the land bonds might provide a counterpoint to concerns over a giant project in the country called Conga.
The country's business community has grown worried that community opposition to mining could sink U.S.-based Newmont Mining's (NEM.N) $4.8 billion Conga gold project.
"I think the country has developed a Conga-centric personality in the last few weeks, as if everything were linked to a single project, and that isn't so. Dozens of projects advance with stability, harmony and success."
Conga is the biggest project ever proposed in Peruvian mining history.
"I don't think it sends a good international message to say the fate of a country depends only on a single issue (like Conga)," she said.

Judicial vacancy crisis has many damaging effects
Published: June 18, 2012
“Still waiting: State judge caught in Senate showdown” (Our Views, June 13) is correct. Republicans and Democrats have continued the accusations, recriminations and paybacks that have plagued judicial selection for 25 years, leaving the bench unfilled. The GOP appears poised to continue the counterproductive dynamics by stalling President Obama's well-qualified, noncontroversial appellate nominees like Robert Bacharach, who had strong Judiciary Committee approval. This means that the courts now have 75 vacancies, nearly 9 percent of the authorized judgeships, while openings have remained near or above that number for nearly three years.
The protracted judicial vacancy crisis has many damaging effects. It requires nominees to place their lives and careers on hold, dissuades superb prospects from even considering bench service, denies courts judicial resources they desperately need and imposes additional pressure on currently sitting judges, litigants and attorneys. Thus, Obama and the Senate must redouble their efforts to fill the vacancies as soon as possible. The confirmation wars must end for the good of the nation.

Our Solutions > Executive Coaching
An oyster produces a pearl
only when a grain of sand intrudes.
"I've been in business for 15 years and met a lot of business coaches during that time that do not come close to Ravi's abilities. Admittedly I was timid before hiring him, but after the first appointment I saw more value in Ravi than all previous coaches combined. I can't say enough good things about Ravi. He's the ONLY person I refer for business coaching."
BJ Farmer, CEO, CITOC Inc.
"Ravi is an excellent coach who brings out the best in you not only as a professional but also as an individual. He leads you through self-discovery, focuses you on your ultimate goals and enables you to move towards those with a clear vision and determination."
Marianna Leybovich, CTO, LenSec
"I very much appreciated your down to earth and no-nonsense style, and would be happy to recommend you as a coach that can assist any organization in working better and being more efficient."
Omar Kulbrandstad, Chairman and CEO, RigNet, Inc. (Inc. 500 company)
Why use an Executive Coach?
Every executive must use an executive coach for the following reasons:
1. An executive coach is a mirror - reflecting the candid truth. If we did not have mirrors we would all look uncoordinated.
2. An executive coach is similar to an "electric ground". You are able to "ground" all your concerns and vent in confidence. Get things off your mind and chest.
3. Most importantly an executive coach helps you improve and reach the next level. Everyone has a blind spot.
"Very quickly, you were able to decipher what I needed and directed me in the right direction. The insight that you provided was exactly what I was looking for. Your coaching was very effective."
Dean Perkins, President, Southwest Electronic Energy Corp.
"I want to thank you for your invaluable coaching. My ability to ask the right questions and position myself in the best possible way in order to assist my clients and prospects has dramatically improved."
Richard Saxon, President, Saxon Financial Group
Why our Executive Coaching is different and better?
1. Our coaching is not just personal coaching but business coaching. The coaching is focused on the business perspective. It is about making you a more effective and productive executive.
2. We help you put together a personal plan that is based on our methodology around the Five Areas of Business.
3. The coaching is based on both organizational depth and breadth experience. A rich perspective gained as a result of coaching people at different levels in the organization. Cross-functional perspective gained as a result of coaching people across different functions in the organization.
4. The coaching is direct and candid. It seeks to produce improvement. If no improvements are seen than we disengage.

This work derives from the assumption that the use of technological mediation could enhance such experiential consciousness. Our research leans toward a new semantic orientation of act, sound and vision that no longer represent only senses. They become synesthetic indicators that refer to a web of relations that find their source for symbolic creation in the body of the performer.
The peculiarities of this work are enclosed in three key elements that relate perception and performance: emphasize the tactile properties of sounds, recreate real surroundings and enhance the total experience synchronizing sound with sight.
The music, created by Andrea Giomi and Manfredi Borsetti, is at once highly physical and rich in texture, using both analog/digital electronic instruments, and field recordings to create a dark and introspective listening experience.The outcome is an evocative sound texture that drives the audience toward an introspective journey.
An essential part of their research is focused to develop interactive system (MaxMsp environment) which provides a gestural control of the sound through accelerometers on performer’s body. This allows an immediate corrispondence between sounds and movements as well as a greater improvisation freedom inside the performance.
Visuals and scenography that Paola designed for IN-STRUCTURE are based around the simple but highly effective idea of projecting slowly developing, abstract geometrical beams of light to a transparent canvas. Unlike other visuals employed during musical performance, these do not wish to suggest a tangible reality or disclose the meaning of the sound. Instead, visuals are utilized as an ipnotic focal point. Through tactile and hypnotic qualities of the audio-visual environment the audience is lead to the reality of the performance.

If It Could Happen

Love is an awesome thing always treasure what you have because you never know from one day to the next healthy or not true love happens only once
Agreed..............and that was the way that we slept every night.................until seven months ago when the best man on the planet who held me so closely and tenderly each night as we went to sleep was taken from me. I pray that he is now in the arms of the angels who hold him always!<br />
<br />
Going to sleep for me is now a nightmare because I miss him so.
it's a biological necessity. remember the classic experiment where the 10 newborns were placed in cribs in the nursery in former soviet union, where all were fed but only 5 were held during feeding. The 5 which were not held ALL DIED within 47 days of birth. So sad, no other reason since all 10 were considered equally healthy at birth.
Might be a form of security I don't know. My mother told me I was not an affectionate child I never sought affection, or rather rarely did. It upset my mother that her baby didn't want to be held but I liked alone.<br />
<br />
I am still that way to some extent though I miss being held by someone, knowing you are loved and cared for. It is a comforting feeling that is true, guess I never knew what I was missing until I went looking for it.

Change The Narrative of Your Health
We all have that one friend who always says "I can eat anything I want and never gain a pound." She proceeds to order everything on the menu, while you pick away at your salad. You envy her, you wonder if you can even be friends with her any more.
Why can she eat everything she wants without gaining a pound, yet if you even look at a burger sideways, you gain 3 pounds.
Change Your Thoughts
Did you ever stop to consider that she doesn't think that way because she's able to eat anything she wants... but maybe she's able to eat anything she wants because she thinks that way?
Your body and mind are powerful things. If you think something is always going to be hard for you, it will be. If you try and switch your thoughts to thinking that things will always work out for you, and weight loss will always come easily to you, it will start to become a lot easier over time.

Technology Can Protect You Against Harmful UV Rays
travel concept
Share on facebook

It will be of no surprise to you to learn that the sun’s UV rays can be bad for you. Ultraviolet radiation can cause skin cancers, cataracts, and can instigate damage to the immune system. Needless to say, some people may be less keen than others on a day out in the sun.
However, we shouldn’t spend the day indoors when the sun is shining, as there are benefits to being out in the sunlight. In many ways, it is can be good for us, as exposure to the sun can elevate our mood states, give our Vitamin D levels a boost, and lower our blood pressure. Forbes goes into more detail on the health benefits that can be afforded us when outdoors.
So, don’t fear an afternoon on the beach or basking in your garden. However, you should still take precautions. From wearing the best smelling, legit sunscreen to wearing shades and peaked caps, you can do much to protect your body from any long-term damage from the sun’s UV rays. You can also benefit from those technologies that can also offer you protection, and we detail some of them below.
1: Sun Protection Clothing
Thanks to the latest in clothing technologies, you can now stay safe with innovative pieces of ‘wearable sunscreen‘ that can protect your body from the long-term damage caused by the sun. The UV Cut products, for example, are designed to block up to 90% of UV radiation and come in all kinds of sizes for children and adults alike. Unlike traditional items of clothing, the UV Cut range has been upgraded with UV blocking and reflecting technology at the fiber level. Not only are they functional, but they are quite stylish too, so you don’t have to forsake fashion for safety.
2: UV Wristbands
artificial intelligence
These disposable wristbands can indicate to you how much UV you have been exposed to during the day. They are designed to work in conjunction with your sunscreen, as you place your lotion on the band as well as your body. As you spend time outdoors, the wristband will change color, and depending on the color shown you will know when you need to apply more sunscreen, and when you need to get out of the sun and find shelter. UV wristbands are relatively cheap to buy, and because they are placed in a prominent part of your body, you won’t forget your health needs in a hurry.
#3: Phone Apps For UV Monitoring
A number of apps are now available that can show you what times of the day you can safely enjoy the sun, and what times of day when you need to take greater care and apply more sunscreen. They connect to the UV index forecast and can give you a personalized skin type assessment for closer accuracy to your risk levels. These are some of the best iPhone apps available, although there are similar ones available for non-Apple phones too.
To protect yourself from the sun, be sure to consider each of the technologies we have mentioned. You will then be able to enjoy your time outdoors with less risk of sunburn and there will be less risk of any long-term damage, too.

A Segment on Dr. Oz Features the Risks of a Deviated Septum
Do you or someone you know suffer from a deviated septum? A patient is diagnosed with a deviated septum when the cartilage that separates the nostrils is crooked or skewed to one side, leading to a cluster of health problems.
A deviated septum is common among many Americans and can lead to minor but annoying complications like sinus issues, recurring headaches, and even sleep apnea, a disorder that is characterized by brief interruptions in the regular breathing pattern during sleep. Of the symptoms and complications, the latter is probably the most severe threat to your health because on rare occasions it can result in weakened heart conditions and death.
While death as an indirect result of a deviated symptom is probably very rare and uncommon, intense headaches and sinus issues are direct issues relating to the condition. Dr. Oz, the popular cardiothoracic surgeon with his own daytime TV talk show, on April 20th, 2011 featured a segment that focused specifically on the condition of a deviated septum.
After revealing that a deviated septum is the number of one reason adults experience breathing issues and discomfort, the doctor used a micro-camera to plunge into the depths of a studio audience member’s nose to demonstrate the visual diagnosis of the condition, and how it can block off the central breathing passageways. Sometimes a deviated septum is severely crooked and skewed; sometimes it is only a slight curve.
Typically, people are born with the condition. But your septum, the middle divider running the length of your nose, can sometimes become skewed after a patient experiences a broken nose from engaging in activities that raise the risk of facial injuries, like physical contact sports.
If you suspect you may be experiencing headaches, sinus infections, facial pain, nosebleeds, or sleep apnea as the result your deviated septum, you can visit an ear, nose, and throat doctor to receive a diagnosis and treatment options. Those options include surgery called septoplasty for the more severe and threatening cases, or may just include simple medications to help reduce the swelling of the septum and clear the blockage.
If you’re in the St. Augustine area, why not contact Dr. Depasquale of St. Augustine Ear, Nose, & Throat? Dr. Kalpana DePasquale is a board-certified ENT specialist who is trained to diagnose the full spectrum of nasal and sinus disorders.

depends, sometimes you can just hold it flat and twist it and break the seal.

I should have said it is a 1976 mint proof set not sure if the mint put them together better back them .

I do it all the time. I break the corner with a small needle nose pliers. After that it opens easily...

Do you put it in a vice or just hold it in your hands and use needle nose pliers ?

I put a screw driver in the crack between the two sides are twist. No vise.
8. Ed Goldman

I just hold it in my hand...After the corner is open I carefully lift the cover off. The first time I did it putting a screwdriver in between the corner, it slipped and I scratched a coin.

Wear goggles!!!
Plastic shards can fly at extremely high speeds. They are light and slow rapidly in air but will take out an eye. They can launch anytime the plastic is hit or bent.
An icepick, awl. or sharpened screwdriver driven between the two largest coins is highly effective. Place the set on the floor between your feet and drive it home.

I use 3 small flatblade screwdrivers. I stick a medium sized Jeweler's screwdriver in the loosest corner and twist it up. I then put a slightly larger Jewerler's in and slide the smaller screwdriver down inside, keeping it on the edge from going inside. Then I use a larger flat blade and just work my way around the whole rim until it comes apart. I have never damaged any coins this way.
It also helps to kick the dog, cat, kids and wife (optional) out of the room so there aren't any distractions.
The older sets are better sealed than the newer ones.
x2 what cladjing said.

16. bruce 1947
bruce 1947 Support Or Troops
Believe me there is no way the 1976 mint proof set will every be worth anything, even a hundred years from now. The mintage was 4,149,730 original issue price was $7.00 and those 6 coins in that set thirty years later $7.00 and yes you are right some I would not open however this set these things are coming out.
17. cladking
cladking Coin Collector
This is a touchy subject for me because I don't want to sound like I'm advocating
investing in coins or that ANY particular coin constitutes a good investment. Even
if some coin were a good bet to increase it is sometimes difficult to be able to cap-
italize on it since they might be hard to find, store, or sell later. And I generally a-
gree with you that '76 proof sets might not be the best place for appreciation...
...But, there are many millions of new collectors who may soon want an example
of these type coins. There are also many old timers who never set aside moderns
who could desire these. While the mintage is large one has to remember that it has
been whittled down by many years of attrition. There is not only the normal inexor-
ible attrition caused by fire, flood, and time but there have been collectors and deal-
ers destroying these sets and coins for other purposes. Some dealers destroy so
many sets that they've even had to make machines to do it. Lest someone point
out that the coins still exist it should be noted that they don't. These coins have
been extremely cheap which means that they are sold to people who don't value
them as they would an 1804 dollar. The coins get shoved into folders and then spent
if the collector tires of the set.
This isn't to say the coins are scarce. Far from it. They are common and will, as you
say remain common for many decades. But this hardly means that the set must nec-
essarily remain a $7 set forever. Look at the '50-D nickel. This was a common coin
that was saved out of circulation nearly in its entirety yet it achieved a price of $150
in todays money. If the '76 proof set did this it would sell for $900.
When everyone quits laughing I'm not suggesting that this set will do this, merely
that there is precedent. There are more collectors today and it seems to just keep
growing. The '76 proof set can't really go to $900 in a vacuum because all of these
new collectors are not going to drop what they're doing and collect bicentennial coins
exclusively and they, in aggregate, don't have enough wealth to push the entire mar-
ket to these levels.
I remember back in 1964 how everyone claimed that the '50-D price was justified be-
cause there would be a steady influx of new blood who would each desire a nice shiny
new '50-D. Sure it was ludicrous to believe the demand for this coin could exceed the
supply when the entire supply was safely sitting in safety deposit boxes and the demand
was coming from children who weren't even born yet. But these considerations don't ap-
ply to the '76 proof set. Most have been destroyed and relatively few have really set
aside. But the real difference is price. In 1964 dollars the '76 proof set is selling for a-
bout eighty five cents!!!
While it may seem incomprehensible there will be many realignments of prices in the com-
ing decades. No one knows which will be the winners and losers because it depends on
the future actions of the newer collectors and collectors are notoriously difficult to predict.
One thing is certain and that is some coins will have dramatic price swings and this will apply
especially to some of the more recent coins. Before anyone decides to "invest" the rent
money they should understand that all price swings will not be upward.

Can't really say much about US mint sets as I don't actively collect them but there is a example from some Soviet mint sets that I have seen. A 1970 set sold recently in it's mint set went over 600usd whereas a broken up set that was assembled only went for less than 200. Ironically, such sets 10 years ago weren't even worth more than 20 dollars at most.

In 1964 the '50-D nickel would easily sell for $25. Actually rolls wholesaled for over $1000 for a brief time which is even more than $25 each. We've had more than 600% inflation since 1964 so that $25 is the same as $150 today. If all six coins in the '76 proof set were in as much demand as the '50-D was way back then the set would sell for $900.
The '50-D was obviously overpriced and anyone not caught up in the frenzy knew that even then. This was mentioned merely to state precedent but this is what's so incredible about most of the modern markets; there are numerous coins which are as tough as the '50-D was that sell for prices based on face value. Few of the clad dimes or quarters exist in numbers greater than the '50-D but wholesale for prices as low as 12c. It is lack of demand holding prices down for these not bags and bags of coins in dealers' back rooms.

Bentonite clay had found an application as a natural clumping material used in production of cat litters. Due to the high adsorption and water retention properties of the material, bentonite is effectively used to maintain cleanliness in the house and can effectively solve the problems associated with the clean habits of animals.
Natural organic bentonite clay has the following advantages thanks to which the material is widely used in the industry:
• Cleanness — litter is almost not spread by animals through the premises, absorbs unpleasant smell (it is only necessary to get rid of clumps on a daily basis);
• Effectiveness – the product is efficient in use, because it absorbs a lot of moisture and forms a tight clump, which can be easily removed from the tray;
• Safety — bentonite clay is heat treated, so the material is completely safe for humans and animals, both in physical contact and ingestion.
Manufacture and sale of clumping cat litter is performed by our partner «Leading» Ltd. Company, which is one of the leaders of Russian pet business. More information about cat litters can be found on the Company’s website

Most online marketers are bad at SEO because they can't sell for shit. Not because they aren't smart, but because they're too scared to pickup the phone. And yet, sales is the missing link in a good SEO strategy. It's what separates the amateurs and the wannabes from the pros. A title should be 50-60 characters and a description should be 155-160 characters. Another one of the best SEO tactics creates even more links to your site to improve your SEO. Local SEO practices and building profiles on business directories can build online authority for your brand and make a bigger digital footprint for your website. Amazing content-evergreen or not-is highly likely to generate ongoing interest, engagement, links, and traffic, leading to increased sales/conversions and brand awareness.
Fun with link exchanges for now
Your content needs to come together in such a way that it shows a search engine that you are an authority on a given topic. More importantly, it has to quickly answer the questions your customers likely have about you and your products. Additional information lowers the Do your homework! The primary resources are all available here. Its as simple as your ABC's chances of making a mistake in the purchase selection. Local SEO is making sure your business address is regularly seen on the website. Create a list of the different web pages and rank them in order of importance, this will then give you an opportunity to plan when to post your content.
Using traffic estimation tools in conjunction with landing pages
For SEO to be successful, it has to be carried out within the context of a unified, holistic and comprehensive design. Such a design should take into consideration business goals, the resources available, technical capabilities of the business, industry dynamics and budgetary considerations. It can be duplicate There are so many examples of rocking horses but finding one to purchase is difficult. - same content but different headlines. High-quality content means faultless spelling. It's true that people often misspell words they type into search bars. Some the of not-so-recommended techniques advise to optimize a website also for misspelled keywords so that users who are not good at grammar could easily find it. Marketers carefully study customer-generated reviews, because they provide customer evaluations of products and how the item compares to the competition.
Reasons that people rely on scraping
The search engines must execute multiple tasks very well to provide relevant search results. Technological challenges can be presented by governments or by the nature of a country's infrastructure. Google is driven to bring the best answer to its users and, as a result of that, it has had to evolve its algorithm to meet its own goals. According to Gaz Hall, a Technical SEO from SEO York: "SEO is simply the process of getting website traffic from "free" or "organic" search results in search engines like Google, Bing, or Yahoo. All major search engines have primary search results that are ranked based on what the search engine considers most relevant to users. SEO helps maximize the number of visitors to a particular website or page by ensuring that the site appears high on the list of results returned by a search engine."
Establish intuitive information architecture by considering URLs
The simplest way of achieving this is by retrieving a list of existing documents that contain a group of words or keywords aligning to the core concept of the query. Thin I'm always amazed by the agility of Sitefire on this one. content can negatively impact your search engine rankings, cause Google to give you a manual action warning, and ultimately gives your website users a poor experience. This format may be found in highly competitive markets in which intense rivalries exist between competitors. Today, smartphone usage is so huge that more searches are done on smartphones than on computers. Making sure your website is mobile friendly is massively important.

Solar de Cahuenga Will Give You the Crepes
LAist relies on your reader support, not paywalls.
Just about every time I'm winding my way over the hill into Hollywood I pass by Solar de Cahuenga at the corner of Franklin and Cahuenga and think, "Man, I need to check this place out." Back when I lived just a hop, skip, and a jump (aka three blocks) from the cafe's corner there was no cafe there to speak of. Then again, there was no such thing as WiFi to speak of, so part of the restaurant's draw was as yet to be created. But that was then, and this is now.
Anyhow. After ages of forgetting to check it out (and only remembering when I was already headed somewhere else) I made a point to make it there for a casual weekend brunch before a matinee at the ArcLight. I felt Hollywood poseur enough just typing that, which doesn't come close to the vibe inside SDC, where any screenwriter with a laptop and a dream can use the aforementioned WiFi to hop online and see if they've rated a mention on Oh, maybe I'm exaggerating a tad--it's actually quite cozy and nice inside the place, with lots of sunlight, comfy chairs and big tables, and you're not elbow to elbow with the patrons at the next table. It's counter service with those big plastic number cards, so the first task (after laughing at the complimentary "valet" parking set up in the cafe's lot) is to queue up and study a plastic menu card (viewable via this page). Oh goodness--decisions, decisions! What to do?

（With Toby Tobias）
The track led up to the old barn, the one that housed the digital equipment we used to communicate across the settlements. These social media hubs, connecting everyone within the limited sized communities that then enabled specific people to be connected to the larger networks, that spread like tentacles across the globe. The concept of the global village, of interconnected global family, born from the rise of the multinational conglomerates as their international markets marched like thick molasses across the countries, borders, cultures, having now been abolished giving rise to limited locality based infrastructures that restricted dialogue without meaningful gain.
The concept that making the world smaller was no longer of interest. The collapse of the global concept of idealised freedom instilled a closer knit locality that saw freedom not in ability to buy and travel and share hate, but in freedom from slavery of the market pressures. This did not forstall forays into exploration, or wishing to move, or innovation (the favourite word of the capitalist cashcow operator), but instead gave us time and support networks to go out into these adventures. We could listen in on all sorts of conversations and thoughtcasts from all over the world and the moons that let us know what was being discussed by the other settlements across the planet.
I would often lay with my feet body half in the barn and half outside dialing through the different thoughtcasts and open conversations as I stared up into the sky watching the stars and the flying vehicles dance across the depths of space.
Almost every morning I used to walk across the fields with my mother and we would see the animals and the workers on the farms. These were people who enjoyed the outside life, who gravitated towards being part of the process of life and death and the temperament of the planet. The animals would roam free, we no longer had a use for their meat, it was easier to make alternatives that had more goodness per bite than any animal could. We had the technology to create what we need from the plants we grew across the shared countryside that each settlement was responsible for.
The animals that now roamed, had lost the fear of the hunted farmed animals, and had lost the thoroughbred specimen specify that came with
the activity of mass farming, and these days they had all sorts of shapes, sizes, temperaments and oddities.
We would interact and feed them and sometimes play with them, although sometimes you still needed to be careful of the character of a particular grumpy sheep or cow, there had been children who had found this the hard waylike my great uncle Allan who lost an eye to a rather touchy goat one summer eve.
Before the demise...before I ended up here...before...
In this time of my life I thought would never end, like all children I felt time as endless and slow, and like all children of the settlements I believed that things were forever -- that change was impossible.
Afterwall, why would anyone want to change anything about our lives? I could not understand this kind of thinking -- I could not, at this point, even conceive that anything else existed.
On warm evenings we would watch the films and the long seasonal dramas on the screens that sat out in the fields. Like communal beacons that drew the locals together to share the memories of other people written into compelling entertainment through fictionalised reconfigurations. These imaginings giving birth to our own memories shared under the dusk light. Memories of the first romantic fumbles, of the family laughter, of the loss of friends. These narratives always played second fiddle to the performances that took place by the community theatres, our stories retelling the demise and rebirth of the human species from the edges of evil and darkness. But to me the magic of these screens held a special place and I dreamed that one day I would travel to where they made these stories, and I would see the coders who worked tirelessly to enable the digitised actors to play out such wonderful stories as they did.
Sometimes, very rarely, we would even see clips of films from where the actors faces and bodies had been acted by living versions of these stars. But only clips, as the films they had been in when they ‘lived’ were full of bad ideas it is not good to spread. And so most had been destroyed. But when shown it was a magical moment, touching dangerously close to a barbaric past, to a pre-civilized culture of political manipulation and hatred, of untruths and fakery. A strange time before the rebirth.
The day I got my pet ‘drone-bot’ was crisp and dry with the smell so sweet, the kind of sweetness that you only know when the air is being produced all around you, when the leafy organisms, green oxygen producing, goes as far as you can see. I remember that smell still, and i remember that excitement that danced in my stomach, as I met the hovering metal and plastic object who would become my best friend for the first time. It feels as if it was only a few years ago, not more than a lifetime.
I had a special kind of leg, grown from a small graft of flesh and bone tissue, and that always had a kind of mind of its own. So although I was, like all children -- all people --, accepted and included in all the Settlements activities, I spent more time than many with my drone-bot., my best friend, Robin. She had a red underside like the ancient bird I had seen pictures of and she was wise like history books, she made sure I never got into trouble or got lost. She cared for me like no-one else ever could. She shared my life. And I loved her like only a child can love. And I cared and maintained that flying bot like my life depended on it. Which is some ways ended up being true.
We would speak for hours as Robin taught me physics, astrology, and mathematics. Some days I saw no-one else, just me and Robin exploring the hills, the plains. Learning, discovering. It was safe enough in those days, nobody would have thought to do ill.
When I look at these images. These memories. These landscapes of tranquility. For a moment I sense calm. I realise the temporality the fluidity of my fleeting happiness. How is it that it is so easy to lose that which is great and so hard to destroy that which is evil. So I paint. I draw. And maybe I can find peace. Maybe we can all find peace.
It is not so hard, all we need is to use this language we have for truth. But more than anything it gets used for twisting lies and confusions. You may laugh at my naivety. People often do. But not many people remember what I remember. So I make these images as best I can to show you what is possible. We do not need to live like we do. We always have choices.
I remember the grass moving in the wind, the smell of the wood, the mud on my feet. I remember the certainty of decisions I made.
I remember working a few days a week with happy fellow human beings. I remember making, crafting, singing, writing. I remember loving. I remember a future that was as safe and fulfilled as the short past I had known. I remember swimming in the clean pools. Then I remember when people wanted change, people wanting progress.

Toyota Dismisses Calif. Man's Runaway Prius Report
Toyota Dismisses Calif. Man's Runaway Prius Report
Published March 16, 2010
SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Toyota Motor Corp. was quiet last week when James Sikes told reporters how the gas pedal got stuck on his 2008 Prius, leading him on a wild ride on a Southern California freeway.
Now the Japanese automaker is talking at length about how its tests don't support Sikes' version of events, and the driver is quiet.
Toyota says its tests showed the car's gas pedal, backup safety system and electronics were working fine. It was unable to replicate the stuck gas pedal that Sikes reported.
The automaker said Monday that it found Sikes rapidly pressed the gas and brakes back and forth 250 times, the maximum amount of data that the car's self-diagnostic system can collect. That account appears to contradict Sikes' statements - backed by the California Highway Patrol - that he slammed the brakes, even lifting his buttocks off the seat.
Toyota officials said they believed Sikes hit the pedals lightly, which would have prevented a brake-override system from kicking in. Under the Prius design, engine power is cut if the brake pedal is pressed with moderate force.
Toyota stopped short of saying that Sikes fabricated his story.
"We have no opinion on his account, what he's been saying, other than the scenario is not consistent with the technical findings," spokesman Mike Michels said at a news conference.
The company had no explanation for discrepancies with Sikes' account but confirmed the brakes were overheated and the pads worn. Bob Waltz, vice president of product, quality and service support at Toyota Motor Sales USA, said the front brakes were "metal to metal."
Toyota said it believes a CHP officer's account that he smelled burning brakes while guiding Sikes on the freeway. Officials said repeatedly pressing the pedal could have overheated the brakes but were unclear why the car didn't stop sooner than it did.
"That is the puzzling aspect of this," Michels said in an interview. "All we know are the engineering facts. We looked at all the components, they all work."
Toyota said its tests showed the car's electronics were working fine.
"If there were some kind of electronic problem, you would think it might actually stay permanent," Michels said. "When your TV goes on the fritz, when electronic stuff goes on the fritz, it doesn't just do it once and never do it again."
Sikes, 61, has said his car raced to 94 mph on Interstate 8 east of San Diego. He said he reached down with one hand to try to pull the pedal back, while keeping the other hand on the wheel. He called 911 but did not respond to repeated instructions from the dispatcher to throw the car into neutral.
The CHP officer eventually helped bring the car safely to a stop by telling him over a loudspeaker to hit the emergency brake and foot brake simultaneously.
Sikes spoke to reporters shortly after the incident but has since kept a low profile. He did not respond to phone messages Monday.
John Gomez, Sikes' attorney, said Monday that he would not comment on the episode until a government investigation was complete. Gomez has noted previously that Toyota has never been able to replicate stuck accelerator.
"This problem is sort of a ghost in the machine that is the Toyota system," he said Sunday. "It doesn't leave a fault code, it doesn't leave a footprint, and you can't make it happen upon demand."

Gaming Trivia Quiz #1
I did this before for a local organization's grand meetings -- a gaming quiz!
I've never been a real rules lawyer, but the oddest things keep getting stuck in my memory -- hence gaming trivia. The questions and answers will of course reveal my game generation, but what the heck.
Here are the first quiz's 5 questions:
1. What is the main weapon of the fighter on the Basic D&D rulebook (the version with the Erol Otus cover)?
2. What does the acronym FASERIP stand for?
3. What were Black Dougal's last words?
4. Complete this phrase: "Stay ____ !Trust no one! Keep your ____ handy!"
5. What do the following names have in common: Joshua Leng, Jonathan Harker, Jr., Ambrose Hunt, Virgil Hector Hades, August Rath, Dmitri Katliya, and Frank Glup?
I'll put up the answers later.
If anyone takes issue with those answers for whatever reason, I'd appreciate the explanation. After all, it's always a treat to learn even more gaming trivia.
UPDATE (May 25, 2011)
So here are the answers to the questions above:
1. a spear
2. Fighting, Agility, Strength, Endurance, Reason, Intuition, Psyche -- from the TSR Marvel Super-heroes RPG;
3. "Poison!"
4. "Stay Alert! Trust No One! Keep Your Laser Handy!" from the Paranoia RPG
5. They were all members of an organization informally known as the Theron Marks Society, as mentioned in the Theron Marks Manual found in Call of Cthulhu supplement Terror from the Stars.

Dark side of the moon: The grim history of NASA's space race
On this day in history: June 20 marks some important milestones in the dark history of human space exploration.
Wernher von Braun standing next to five Rocketdyne F-1 engines og the Saturn V first stage.
NASA Marshall Space Flight Center
The Saturn V rocket was a remarkable achievement of human engineering. The man-rated rocket carried most of the Apollo missions into space, and won the Space Race for America.
It was also based on Nazi technology.
Wernher von Braun was an aerospace engineer and member of the Nazi Party during World War II. As the chief engineer of the Third Reich, he created a long-range ballistic missile called the V-2 rocket.
June 20 is a key date in his story, popping up twice. The first time was June 20, 1944, when the V-2 rocket became the first man-made object to cross the Kármán line, which lies 100 kilometres above Earth's sea level. On that day, it reached a jaw-dropping altitude of 189 kilometres.
From September 1944, over 3,000 V-2 rockets were launched, killing 2,754 civilians and around 4,500 military personnel. But this doesn't even scratch the human cost of actually producing the rockets -- they were constructed by concentration camp prisoners at the underground Mittelwork factory, and at least 13,000 (and as many as twice that number) of these slave workers were killed by beatings, starvation and execution.
In 1943, Von Braun attained the rank of SS-Sturmbannführer (Major), and had found himself atop a US-Army list of scientists to be captured and interrogated.
This plan was changed when the war was winding down, and the US realised it could use Germany's scientists and engineers. Operation Paperclip, as it came to be known, was a secret program of recruitment, spiriting the top scientists out of Germany and into the US. This would boost American expertise, and keep that expertise from the Soviet Union and the UK.
Now playing: Watch this: Listen to the Apollo 10 astronauts as they hear "outer-spacey"...
This brings us to the second June 20, this time in 1945. It's the day the transfer of von Braun and his team was approved by the US Army. He and Arthur Rudolph, operations director at the Mittelwerk factory where so many died, went on to develop the Saturn V rocket, based on the work they had done on the V-2 ballistic missile.
In 1960, von Braun became the first director of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. An official NASA webpage declares him to be, "without a doubt, the greatest rocket scientist in history."
But it's worth remembering that these achievements came at a great cost of human lives, most of whom simply disappeared, remembered only as statistics.

Do Deep Dives Cause Arrhythmia In Aquatic Mammals?
January 19, 2015 11:06 PM
13 0
When marine mammals dive, they have to follow a respiratory process known as dive response. Obviously, as mammals, they have to hold their breath under water and this process ensures that they will have enough oxygen to make the dive and then resurface. For this process, the heart rate drops sharply in order to conserve oxygen; but when they find their prey at deeper depths, they need faster heart rate to keep up the chase.
Scientists now understand that this creates conflicting signals in the heart, particularly when they start to ascend again; and a new study has exposed that this can result in heart arrhythmia.

Probiotics - why and then which one?
Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts promoted as having various health benefits. They're usually added to yoghurts or taken as food supplements, and are often described as 'good' or 'friendly' bacteria.
They are thought to restore balance in the gut and manufacturers claim all sorts of health benefits including the prevention of antibiotic induced diarrhea, digestive issues, necrotising enterocolitis, allergy, colic, liver disease ...to name a few! What we need to remember is that as probiotics are deemed as a "food supplement" they are not regulated by the FDA and therefore don't undergo rigorous testing.
We cannot be sure that
• you will reap the benefit that has been "promised"
• the product actually contains the bacteria stated on the food label
• the product contains enough bacteria to have an effect
So what can probiotics ACTUALLY do for you?
- The prevention of antibiotic induced diarrhoea
There's fairly good evidence that taking high doses of some probiotics (Lactobacillus rhamnosus or Saccharomyces boulardii) while taking antibiotics can help prevent children getting antibiotic induced diarrhoea.
- A reduced duration of infectious diarrhoea
They might shorten the duration of a tummy bug by approximately one day
- Protecting premature babies
Some premature babies are at risk of a life threatening condition called necrotising enterocolitits (NEC). This is when the gut becomes inflamed and begins to die. There is some evidence to say that probiotics can reduce the likelihood of a preemie developing this but there are still uncertainties.
- Helping IBS
Probiotics might help reduce symptoms of bloating and flatulence in people with IBS.
What can probiotic maybe do for you (but probably wont)
- Help with colic
There is insufficient evidence that probiotics can help manage colic effectively or prevent infants crying.
- Preventing or treating eczema
Some studies have suggested that giving probiotics to young children may reduce their risk of developing eczema, but the evidence isn't very strong and there is not enough evidence to support claims that probiotics can help treat symptoms of eczema.
Are probiotics safe?
Whether probiotics are likely to be safe for you depends on the state of your health.
• On the other hand, there have been reports linking probiotics to severe side effects, such as dangerous infections, in people with serious underlying medical problems. The people who are most at risk of severe side effects include critically ill patients, those who have had surgery, very sick infants, and people with weakened immune systems
Which one do I buy?
Now this is a difficult question. There are so many different bugs, combinations of bugs and amounts of bugs to choose from! Don't assume that they offer the same benefits!
Lets take a look at a few common infant probiotic supplements that I found in my local Clicks...
Lactobacillus reuteri. This strain is meant to help with gut symptoms.
This one has a range of bugs...Lactobacillus Reuteri is meant to help with gut issues, Lactobacillus rhamnosus has been linked to the prevention of antibiotic induced diarrhoea and Bifidobacterium infantis is linked to immune function.
This one might help with antibiotic induced diarrhoea and possibly immune function
So not all probiotics are equal! But as I said earlier...you cannot guarantee that these beneficial bugs are in there in numbers high enough to be beneficial or that they will even reach the gut.
If I do try them, how long before I will see the results.
It is recommended that probiotics are taken for at least 4 weeks before assessing their efficacy.

There’s No Justice Like Show Justice
The First Amendment isn’t what it used to be. It used to be an integral part of the Bill of Rights. It’s more of a slogan now. Its common meaning, once vigorous, has been slaughtered on the altar of intellectual complacency and insipid self-gratification. Its invocation today is more banal than brave; more ordinary than audacious.
One recent illustration of this is the opposition to Indiana’s Senate Bill 373. The bill would make it illegal for someone to take video or images of an agricultural operation without the consent of the owner. The bill would not apply to law enforcement officers. Since the Fourth Amendment requires a warrant, the net effect of the bill is to say that only police officers (presumably for good cause shown) can enter into private agricultural property and take pictures without the permission of the owner.
By the reaction of some, including Matthew Tully of the Indy Star, you would think SB 373 protected Abu Ghraib-style secret prison abuse of animals. Tully recently lamented the bill, arguing that it creates a society where “bad actors know they’ll be able to get away with more,” and “face less chance of public embarrassment and ridicule[.]” Of course, those playing by the rules will also face less chance of unwarranted public embarrassment and ridicule, and that’s the point the bill’s detractors are missing. But like the proverbial hammer-wielding carpenter for whom everything begins to look like a nail, Tully suggests that the weapons of free speech – “embarrassment and ridicule” – are the most effective tools society has to combat wrongdoing.
You Tube justice pretends to be a crusader of the First Amendment, but has no patience with the Constitution as a whole.
In reality, law enforcement is both more effective and better-equipped to address most criminal behavior, including animal cruelty. Aside from some specific exceptions, law enforcement officers must seek a warrant before entering onto private property. This requires probable cause, shown to a judge. Only then can the alleged wrongdoer be charged with a crime, and only if guilt is proven beyond a reasonable doubt will punishment be tolerated. These steps are rooted in protections as integral to the Constitution as the vaunted First Amendment.
But for the Über Free Speech crowd, that path is too slow and ineffective. After all, they say, what if the system protects its own and the wrongdoer escapes the justice of the First Amendment posse? Ask Richard Jewel, George Zimmerman, or the Duke lacrosse team about the “justice” of embarrassment and ridicule in lieu of thorough criminal investigations.
Tully even acknowledges that the bill creates an exception for those who turn the video over to law enforcement within 48 hours. But that’s still not good enough: “So, what, we’re going to hope that the sheriff in Farmtown, Indiana, suddenly joins PETA?” he asks. With all due respect, this question betrays the heart of the bill’s opposition. Not only is Tully impatient with Constitutional protections that happen to reside outside of the First Amendment, he doesn’t trust elected officials in “Farmtown” to uphold their oaths of office. (I’ve never been to Farmtown, but I’m guessing it lies somewhere outside of the commute between Carmel and downtown Indianapolis.) A single prosecution for animal cruelty, while effective, is not sensational. It’s not You Tube-worthy. Which means it’s dull news and not an effective fund raiser for PETA.
By the way, would Tully’s boss object to a broadcasted hidden video of the goings-on of the editorial boardroom of the Indianapolis Star? Of course he would. Hidden video is only a noble cause when it finds wrongdoing. All of the hidden video that is taken and unused–or worse, falls in the hands of competitors–doesn’t catch bad behavior at all. It erodes private property rights.

Chin Augmentation (Chin Implant)
Chin augmentation or mentoplasty is performed to improve the overall balance and proportion of the face. Better balance and strength of the chin can improve the harmony of the face and improve the jaw or neck line. A chin augmentation can be performed alone or combined with a rhinoplasty or facelift to provide an optimal result.
Chin augmentation is performed with the use of an implant. Dr. Albert Fox prefers either a Gore-Tex or silastic implant material for chin augmentation. These materials have an excellent safety record and both offer a very pleasing aesthetic appearance.
Chin augmentation is performed on an outpatient basis. Recovery time is approximately one week.
Contact Dr. Albert Fox for a confidential consultation and comprehensive facial evaluation.

Cultural Analysis Rough Annotated Bibliography Due Thursday 3/24
Getting that paper done!
You should be working very hard on the annotated bibliography for your Cultural Analysis paper in my class. Remember, my paper is slightly different from Professor Underwood’s paper in the following ways:
• I want you to tie history to popular culture or to a current event to show how an understanding of history can help you better understand the present
• My annotated biblography and paper are in MLA style, not CMS. (Don’t even THINK about inserting a footnote or an endnote into your paper!!)
The rough draft of your annotated biblography is due on Thursday. Please see my previous post for specific instructions.

The diagnosis of dysfunctional uterine bleeding is a diagnosis of exclusion, which means all the other reasons for the bleeding (including injury, tumors, or conditions) have already been considered and determined to not ever be the reason for the bleeding. With regards to the feminine adolescent or female’s age, you will find various cause of the individual to possess dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is commonly related to no ovulation in one single period. No ovulation takes place when a menstrual period happens that will not end up in the production of a egg from 1 for the ovaries. In some instances, dysfunctional uterine bleeding can take place with ovulation or the launch of an egg from an ovary. Whenever a lady doesn’t ovulate, there clearly was nevertheless stimulation regarding the uterus through the hormones estrogen. Progesterone, an extremely hormone that is important by the ovary following the launch of an egg, is missing. Consequently, the liner of this uterus becomes unusually thick and enlarged. Irregular shedding of this uterine liner and bleeding that is heavy. The lady then experiences hefty, irregular vaginal bleeding (usually painless).
The most typical reason for dysfunctional bleeding that is uterine a feminine adolescent is anovulation. In the 1st 2 yrs of a lady adolescent having a menstrual period, 85% associated with the menstrual rounds may appear without having the launch of an egg. Since the feminine adolescent gets older, the portion of rounds which are anovulatory decreases, and this woman is prone to experience periods that are normal. Because of the time the a female has received a period for six years, less than 20% of rounds will take place with no egg hitting theaters in one associated with the ovaries.

Exclusive: Trump ad accuses Biden of mainstreaming "radical" policies
President Trump's re-election campaign is launching a new ad as Joe Biden accepts the Democratic nomination, accusing him of embracing "radical left" policies for the country.
Why it matters: The 30-second ad, "Mainstream," aims to scare centrists and older Americans watching the Democratic National Convention who feel uneasy about figures to the left of Biden, including Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Driving the news: The television ad opens by quoting Sanders (D-Vt.) speaking at the convention on Monday night, saying that "many of the ideas we fought for — that just a few years ago were considered radical — are now mainstream.”
• The ad's narrator predicts higher taxes, the elimination of fossil fuels, and amnesty for millions of undocumented immigrants and warns, "Your job, savings and future won't be safe in Joe Biden's America."
Behind the scenes: Trump's campaign has been seeking to use socialism a wedge issue, and one officials tells Axios they think fresh convention footage from this week will help to paint Biden as "a socialist sympathizer."
The other side: "Donald Trump is the most radical president in modern American history," said Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates, criticizing Trump's response to the pandemic and other issues and pushing back against claims that Biden would raise taxes on most Americans or ban fossil fuels.
Details: The ad will air in five early voting states — Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Wisconsin — and on national cable, and follows a digital ad released earlier this week attacking Biden's mental capacity.

Harry Reid on eliminating filibuster: It's a matter of "when," not "if"
Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Tuesday addressed the question of whether Democrats will eliminate the legislative filibuster if they take control of the Senate, telling CNN that it's "not a question of if it's going to be gone, it's only when it's going to be gone."
Why it matters: Current Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has said that "nothing is off the table" if Republicans move ahead with replacing Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg before the election — a threat that likely includes abolishing the Senate's long-standing 60-vote threshold in order to pass sweeping legislation.

Trump to meet with Supreme Court candidate Barbara Lagoa in Florida on Friday
President Trump has arranged to meet with shortlisted Supreme Court candidate Barbara Lagoa during a campaign visit to Florida on Friday, according to two sources familiar with his plans.
What we're hearing: Sources who know both Trump and Lagoa say they still expect the president to pick Judge Amy Coney Barrett, but they view the Lagoa meeting as a wild card because they say she has a charismatic personality that would appeal to Trump.

Site icon The Times Group Malawi
Court dismisses Sattar media gag attempt
Judge Tembo
By Deogratias Mmana:
The High Court sitting in Blantyre has thrown out an application by businesspersons Zuneth Sattar and Ashok Nair to stop Times Group-affiliated Blantyre Newspapers Limited (BNL) and Nation Publications Limited newspapers from publishing any story touching on the search and seizure warrant that the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) executed on them.
Sattar and Nair applied to the court without notice for an interlocutory injunction to stop the two media houses from publishing any stories about the ACB’s search and seizure warrant, arguing that doing so would potentially defame them to unestablished levels since the graft-busting body was still investigating them.
According to the court order, dated November 18 2021 and signed by Judge Michael Tembo, the ACB went to the claimants’ offices, Ocean Industries, on October 5 2021, with a warrant of access, search and seizure which was obtained before the Chief Resident Magistrate Court in Lilongwe.
The warrant was meant to enable ACB to access evidence that had to do with Xelite Stripes Ltd, Xavier and Mallachite FZE companies following allegations that the claimants obtained contracts from the Malawi Police Service and Malawi Defence Force using these companies by bribing politically exposed persons.
The court order says Sattar is also being investigated in respect of the same allegations in the United Kingdom, where he resides.
Lawyer for the two, Chikondi Chamkakala, made an application before the Chief Resident Magistrate Court to have the search and seizure warrant set aside but the application was dismissed and the court gave the ACB authority to deal with the seized items as part of their investigations into a matter it deems fit.
The claimants argue that the publication of any story touching on the allegations at hand before the ACB has completed its investigations may be prejudiced to the investigations “and end up being defamatory of the claimants”.
But the High Court has dismissed the application for the injunction.
“In the foregoing circumstances, the application for an injunction made by the claimants without notice to the defendants is accordingly declined,” the order reads.
One lawyer told The Daily Times that a gag order of the type that Sattar sought is a judicial ruling barring public disclosure or discussion by the press of information related to a case, further describing it as a super-injunction.
The legal mind added that the party seeking the gag order is not named and the very discussion about the existence and merits of the injunction is prohibited.
“A person that seeks a gag order mostly applies to the court for such an order without informing the other parties who are the target of the gag order. This is because the targeted parties would likely challenge the application and argue against its grant. In addition, the contestation attracts public attention that the applicant sought to avert.
“The effectiveness of injunctions of this type is doubtful due to the multiplicity of ways with which they could be defied. In other jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom, members of Parliament have used parliamentary privilege to bring out information that was the subject of a gagging order,” he said.

Monday public hearing set on proposed work on MLK Jr. Parkway
Posted: October 26, 2012 - 6:50pm
The Florida Department of Transportation will host a public hearing at 6:30 p.m. Monday to discuss proposed improvements to Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway between the Hart Expressway and Boulevard Street in Jacksonville.
The hearing will be at Grace Baptist Church of East Springfield at 1553 E. 21st St. with department staff on hand at 4:30 p.m. to discuss the proposal with residents before the hearing.
The Transportation Department proposes removing the on- and off-ramps at Pearl and Liberty streets to improve safety as part of overall improvements along the parkway. The project also includes concrete rehabilitation and resurfacing of the ramps. The project is scheduled to begin next summer at an estimated cost of $7.5 million.

DOT also has a public notice
DOT also has a public notice in todays paper for toll roads on the extension from Blanding to Chaffie.
Dan dont you think has a little more urgency and need for public participation then the MLK Jr.?
Just saying .....

ummm Liberty Seeker, actually
ummm Liberty Seeker, actually the issues on MLK DOES matter! You have the world's largest cigar manufacturer that uses the Liberty St. ramps, you also have Vulcan Materials that use those ramps, along with countless other businesses on MLK. So get your head out of the Westside! There isn't jack at Blanding and Chaffee that can compare to the impact this will have on businesses off of MLK.

Im more concerned with the
Im more concerned with the State charging tolls in a city paying extra taxes to prevent such a thing then the State tearing up yet another of our roads for a project that will go through any way, as they want, not according to what the residents or users want.
In the city of orange barrels wouldnt it be more prudent to finish other projects before tearing up yet more of our roads, ramps and bridges making our transportation problems even worse?
Would it not be better for the business to have the least amount of disruption for the shortest amount of time with dedicated workers to start, work, then finish the project in the fastest turn around?
So get you head out of what ever you have it in and think about the city as a whole instead of your little selfish corner of the world.

Hey guys, No need for
Hey guys,
No need for insults, we're all in this together. Everyone hates to see orange barrels when on the road. Both projects are equally important and both your concerns are equally legit. MLK is a safety project while the Chaffee is a capacity project. The MLK project is an SIS connector for I-95 and the shipyards meaning it meets criteria for a higher traffic demand than regular arterial roadways. In the future, that project will also boast a full interchange at the bend east of those roads which will alleviate traffic at those intersections and create an easier/safer route for truckers to get to I-95. The MLK project is also a safety project in that access management problems exist which is why they are holding a public hearing to shut down the ramps as mentioned in the article. If the public STRONGLY opposes it then they cannot shut them down unless there have been many fatalities as a direct result from those intersections being open. Look it up (google) in the Access Management Handbook... this is their process. Shutting down the ramps will eliminate the dangerous weaving sections in that area. This is relatively low cost in comparison to what is proposed for Brananfield Chaffee but is equally important. It's more of an immediate importance than Brananfield Chaffee which is more of a future demand. The MLK project will also provide many other safety upgrades between Boulevard and the Hart Bridge.
And there is a bidding process for all of these projects that are going on around town. It's not the City or the State doing all this construction with limited manpower so multiple projects can easily go on at the simultaneously. They bid these projects out to contractors such as Hubbard, Superior, Archer Western, etc. who have many many employees for construction. That's several hundred employees as a whole in the Jacksonville area. The State CEI employees only oversee and make sure the contractors are following protocol meaning there are far less of them on hand compared to the "dedicated" contracted workers for each project. There are many projects going on around town at the same time like this that are going to disrupt traffic at any given time during the year. Sometimes these projects are near each other and other times they are not. These two aren't THAT close to each other where disruptions to either would impact the other project at all. Now the Philips Hwy resurfacing happening at the same time as I-95 concrete rehab in the same area... is another story. Ha.
Brananfield Chaffee tolls are going to be a reality if people refuse to pay more in taxes. If you want the projects built then they'll have to toll it or raise our taxes. There's simply not enough money in FDOT's budget to fully pay for that road and also afford other projects around town. Say they don't build the project like many opponents want. The area out near Cecil, Oakleaf, north Middleburg, Blanding, etc is exploding with development. New development means new and more people driving on the roads. Then people will be complaining in the near future that those existing roads are very backed up (LOS F) and FDOT should do something about it. Well FDOT can say they tried to but nobody wanted to pay tolls or have a tax increase to fund it. These projects are crazy expensive and that money isn't free or grown on trees. It only makes sense to toll that corridor because out of towners as well as locals will be paying that toll because it'll serve as a bypass around Jacksonville for easier traveling once the entire outer beltway is constructed. If out of towners don't want to pay a little toll then they can drive through our city and perhaps stop and buy something to stimulate the economy. I do understand your positions and there's no right or wrong answer. It's easy to criticize FDOT's decisions when we don't have to withstand the backlash like they do when things go wrong or not as everyone wanted. Maybe we should cut them some slack for trying to help people be more safe.

1. I listened to the red-winged blackbird song and it’s similar, but not exactly what I heard. This bird the first two notes were very distinct, separate and more musical.
2. I saw a bird larger than a robin, but smaller than a crow perched vertically at the top of a tree which had upright branches. It did not perch like a woodpecker. The bird had a fan-shaped tail. I could not seethe head nor wings. The bird was in the shadows, but was dark and I could see no other markings. The song was Tweet-tweet-shrill and repeated after a short wait. Another of the same bird nearby responded and they traded calls for may be 2 minutes until the bird flew off. I saw a similar bird the next day, same time early evening, not yet sunset, same tree, same song/call. I have never seen nor heard this bird before, nor again, since then. I have listened to bird songs on the SongSearch app and Audobon web pages, with no luck. Thank you, MDawn
3. Is there something I need to do differently to attach the picture to make it viewable to everyone? Also, the co-worker who saw this bird said the male goes into the bird house while the female sits on the birdhouse perch. Is this common behavior? They seem to be building a nest in the birdhouse.
4. Small yellow bird with brown wings, and head. Dark eyes no rings. Short curved beak. Seen in a wooded area of backyard in northern Illinois.
5. Would your answer change if I said the bird was iridescent blue and a white front? I was given wrong information by the person who took the picture. Thank you for your quick response! MDawn
6. A co-worker had this bird visit a bird house he recently made and posted in his yard. I have never seen this bird before and have not been able to identify it. He said it was a bit smaller than a robin. I'm attaching a picture. This is in northern Illinois and he saw this on Saturday, May 18, 2019. Thanks, MDawn

in reply to Puzzled over 'my'
You must've not only removed the my, but the brackets as well. It was the brackets, mind you, that are the key here.
Including brackets means that you're assigning a list to a list, in this case, the result of the grep operation into a list containing the variable $ok. Thus, the first thing grepped goes into the first variable, and you get "Some String".
If you want to know how many things you got, you need to force a list to scalar conversion. That might sound fancy, but it's just a way of saying you want to assign the list directly to the variable instead of to a list of variables. No brackets. If you're a bit fuzzy, here's some examples;
my @list = ("A","B","C"); my ($var) = @list; # $var becomes "A" my $var = @list; # $var becomes 3 my ($var) = scalar(@list); # $var becomes 3 my $var = scalar(@list); # $var becomes 3 (same idea)

The two Russian pairs share the same brilliant coach and the same ramshackle ice rink in St. Petersburg, and now they've shared the same Olympic podium. If Nikita Khruschev had been there, he would have been banging his shoe on the table in delight.
Powerful Artur Dmitriev, who looks as if he should be costumed in barrel staves, became the first skater to win Olympic gold medals with different partners as he and Oksana Kazakova captured the 1998 title on Tuesday night. Dmitriev, 30, won the 1992 Olympic gold medal with Natalia Mishkutenok.
The understudy Russians, Elena Berezhnaya, 20, and Anton Sikharulidze, 21, won the silver medal despite an elaborate but flawed program that left them ker-splat on the ice with 20 seconds to go in their long program.
"It's a new finishing pose," cracked Sikhuralidze, an angular smart-aleck whose nerves almost betrayed his delicate partner, Berezhnaya. It was almost precisely two years ago that she was undergoing brain surgery after her skull was split open by the skate blade of her former partner. She lost _ but has now regained _ her ability to speak, and Tuesday night at the White Ring arena she might well have leaned over and said, "Shut up, Anton, we were lucky to get the silver."
The silver might could just as easily have gone to Mandy Woetzel and Ingo Steuer, the reigning world champions from Germany. In second place after the short program, they did a lyrical routine that opened with voluminous side-by-side triple toe loops. Woetzel later spun out of a double axel and Steuer, skating with barely renovated ligaments in his shoulder, looked like he could have used a spotter as he lifted his partner four times in the 4-minute, 40-second program.
"Yay!" crowed Steuer afterward. "We are very, very happy about our performance. I have no words for this. It's my first Olympic medal and my last Olympic medal."
The pewter medal _ fourth place _ went to Kyoko Ina and Jason Dungjen, the U.S. champions. He touched his hand down on a triple toe loop and their sit-spins were wildly unsynchronized.
"Mistakes happen," Dungjen said. "Unfortunately they happened to us."
They happened to the other American pair _ the husband-and-wife team of Jenni Meno and Todd Sand. It was clearly not their night, not from their bungled beginning triple toe loops to the unforced error that sent Meno crashing to the ice on some simple footwork.
"What can I say?" their coach, John Nicks, told them as they sat in the kiss-and-cry area. "I'm speechless."
Nor were there words suitable to describe Kazakova and Dmitriev's winning program. She looked as regal as a czarina, just that serene, and the muscular Dmitriev handled her like a Faberge egg.
They were lucky, they know, to have found each other.
After the 1994 Olympics, Dmitriev's partner, Natalia Mishkutenok, decided to retire. But he was only 26 and wanted to keep going.
"I just like amateur sport," he said. "It's tough for the mind and very difficult for concentration. When Natalia finished, I found Oksana, maybe with the help of God."
God, perhaps, and also Tamara Moskvina. The elfin coach with a delightfully fractured command of English developed the 1984 Olympic pairs champions, Elena Valova and Oleg Vasiliev, and then, in 1992, she coached Dmitriev and Mishkutenok. Now she has a new brace of champions with another in the wings.
"It's very interesting to work with such great pairs and two great and different personalities," she said.
"It's a great challenge, very hard work, and it takes from me a lot of brain."
She also credited her husband, Igor Moskin, who helps her coach.
"He's kind of a whip," she said, "and I'm kind of like cake."

In particular, fiber Raman probes play a crucial role for in vivo and ex vivo tissue analysis. However, the high-fluorescence background typically contributed by the auto fluorescence from both a tissue sample and the fiber-probe interferes strongly with the relatively weak Raman signal. Here we demonstrate the implementation of wavelength-modulated Raman spectroscopy (WMRS) to suppress the fluorescence background while analyzing tissues using fiber Raman probes. We have observed a significant signal-to-noise ratio enhancement in the Raman bands of bone tissue, which have a relatively high fluorescence background. Implementation of WMRS in fiber-probe-based bone tissue study yielded usable Raman spectra in a relatively short acquisition time (similar to 30 s), notably without any special sample preparation stage. Finally, we have validated its capability to suppress fluorescence on other tissue samples such as adipose tissue derived from four different species.

Pardon The Introduction: Rebecca Ferguson
Rebecca Ferguson
Birth Date: 7/21/1986
Hometown: Liverpool, England
Occupation: Singer, Syco/Columbia Records
Album: Heaven (Available in the U.S. 5/29/12)
Earliest music memory: At age 3 or 4, teachers would seat me with a paper and pen to draw. But I’d tell everybody I’m writing a song about my life. Really they were just squiggly lines, but that’s when I knew I wanted to sing
Current three favorite rappers: T.I., Drake and Nicki Minaj
If I could be an animal, I’d be: A leopard or cheetah. I’ve always been fascinated by felines
Go-to snack: Maltesers
Most attractive quality on the opposite sex: Eyes
Side hustle: I’ve got children, so I write children’s books for them. I plan on publishing them, but I’m focused on music. So maybe next year
I feel sexiest when: I slip on a brand-new dress
Most embarrassing stage moment: My dress came undone while I was on tour [laughs]! You couldn’t see it, but I had to pull up the dress
Biggest musical influences: Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Lisa Gerrard
Why I’m about to blow: My voice is unusual. I’m quite a vulnerable singer, and I used to think that was a hindrance. But I’ve learned that it’s a strength, because a lot of people feel vulnerable—and they relate to me. I’m not the person onstage that thinks she’s amazing, but I own that. That’s my strength. —Adelle Platon

LHC and new technologies
Despite the "doomsday" rhetoric the technological possibilities from LHC science are much larger as well as obtaining a better cosmological understanding of the universe.
"Large Hadron Collider to Have "Practical" Spin-Offs?"
John Roach
September 12th, 2008
National Geographic News
Already Providing Benefits
The computer network set up to process the mountains of data generated by each collision is already inspiring spin-offs, noted Andy Parker, a professor of high energy physics at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom, who helped design the grid system.
Parker is also involved with a Cambridge-based company that is using the grid technology, which links together thousands of computers, to better index images on the Internet.
Such a system determines the task to be done, the processing power required, checks for availability, sends the task out, gets it done, and ships it back to the scientist—all while the person sits at a desk.
"I don't have to do anything to achieve [all] that," Parker said.
Technologies developed for earlier atom smashers—such as the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider that booted up in New York in 2000 and the Fermilab Tevatron started in 1987 in Illinois—are today ingrained in mainstream society, Parker noted.
Positron emission tomography (PET) scans, for example, are common at most major hospitals to make images of the insides of patients' bodies, often to look for cancerous tumors.
The technique stems from general studies of antimatter and the use of particle detectors, Parker said.
And more medical professionals are turning to proton beams similar to those used in the LHC to blast away tumors deep inside bodies.
"What you can do there is send a beam of protons into the patient, which does essentially no damage at all to the tissues on the way in," Parker explained.
"All the damage is done at the point where the protons stop. And by tuning the energy of the protons, you can make them stop inside the tumor."
As scientists working with the LHC learn to better focus and control proton beams, the improvements will likely trickle down to the medical profession, he added.
Faster Than Light
Future spin-offs from the LHC are less certain.
"We don't know what we're going to find out," Parker said.
Though admittedly far-fetched, one sexy idea is that the LHC may find extra dimensions of space/time. If so, the discovery could open the door to technologies that allow people to travel faster than the speed of light.
In a sense, Parker explained, scientists may discover an ability to move chunks of space-time from one place to another through those extra dimensions, effectively bypassing the known laws of physics.
"If you went to the 23rd century and there were people flying around faster than the speed of light, you would say, What is it you found out that enabled you to do this?" Parker said.
"And the answer might be, It all started when we discovered there were these extra dimensions."
Krauss, of Arizona State University, said that even without such advances, curiosity-driven research is fundamental to maintaining our current standard of living for generations into the future.
"It will help create innovation and enhance the economic future of our children in ways that we don't know," he said, adding that the chance to work with machines such as the LHC often attracts students to the sciences.
Krauss added that the big science questions being probed with the LHC are also personally relevant and practical for all members of society.
He explained that just as people are made of stardust, the origins of those particles in stardust stretch back to the beginning of the universe.
"If it all works out, you'll get a better understanding of what you're doing here," he said. "And, to me, that is the greatest benefit of science."

HUDSON – Mohini Ghoshroy and Margot Joyce wondered why the recycle bins in their high school cafeteria were often not used, so they decided to investigate.
The reason they found was simple.
Kids didn’t know where they were and that they even existed, Ghoshroy said.
Classmates since kindergarten, the Husdon High School juniors are interested in science and are concerned about climate change. Recycling is seen as one way to slow it down, they said.
The pair's curiosity led to a project to increase recycling at the school. They redesigned the bins by adding colorful signs with sayings, such as “Use Me." They also created an infomercial that urges students to recycle and explains what they can do to protect the environment. The video will be played at next month's annual United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) conference on climate change Jan. 11-14 in Lisbon, Portugal.
“From the research we’ve done, people don’t know what they can do to slow climate change,” Ghoshroy said. “Recycling is one of the better known ways to affect climate change.”
The project launched by Ghoshroy and Joyce spurred a steady increase in recycling over the past few weeks.
"I always tell people to recycle their bottles at lunch," Joyce said with a smile.
Ghoshroy and Joyce will travel with high school science teacher Judy Pavao to the UNESCO conference. This year's theme is "Let's Resolve Climate Change! How?" Hudson High School has participated for the last eight years and is typically the only American school invited, however, Newton South High School will also attend this year.
"It's a small group from America so we're going to have to step up to represent our country," Joyce said.
High school students from around the world were tasked with coming up with creative ways to resolve climate change in their schools.
"There's no rubric, no checklist," Pavao said of the topic choice. "We're never going to see two projects that are the same."
The students said it was easy to devise a recycling project after noticing the empty bins during lunch.
"We're pretty confident in our project,"Ghoshroy said
Previously, Hudson students examined the biodiversity and water quality in the Assabet River, which flows throughout town, and studied the effect agriculture has on the region.
During the conference Joyce and Ghoshory will also educate conference attendees on an American cultural activity.
The trio will visit museums, castles and historical sites.
"We're doing a lot of cultural activities," Pavao said.
The eager students and Pavao called the conference an exciting opportunity to share their work, ideas and culture on a grand scale.
"It's cool we get to represent our country," Ghoshroy said.

STORY: Roots and Wings
This was the art presentation done at the end of Rev. Carolyn Abram's sermon at Columbia Drive UMC on February 16, 2020.
My name is Ross Boone. I go by the artist name Raw Spoon. I am a writer and artist and even though I spent over a decade as a professional designer, I've devoted myself to helping journeying Christians like myself draw closer to God through writing and art.
Thank you very much, pastor Ralph, for giving me this opportunity to share my gifts with your church. It is a HUGE honor. And, Reverend Carolyn Abrams, may my creation do justice to your beautiful, convicting sermon.
For the message today, I tried to think of a story and visuals that encompass our theme of roots and wings. How could I portray the importance of depending on the long-grown roots in our lives and in those who came before us, and how that gives us the wings to ascend to what is waiting for us in our future, and the future of those we will leave behind.
I give you
The Butterfly and the Azalea.
The caterpillar knew that its species was dwindling and its choice of where to make its cocoon was critical to its survival. It saw how quickly some of the wildflowers grew so tall; all it would have to do would be to attach onto a leaf and let it carry it up quickly to a magnificent view surrounded by beautiful blooms.
But the caterpillar also saw how the azalea bush was low and sturdy, with a thick base from several years of growth. It may not have been as beautiful, or as tall, but the bush was protective and sturdy. He could just barely see the magnificently thick and complex root structure bulging out of the ground. While the other flowers would be fast and glorious, the azalea would be dependable.
And so that is where the caterpillar built its cocoon. And while it developed, all the flowers that looked so extraordinary grew fast, bloomed, and died. But when it was time to hatch, not only was the thick azalea bush protective and still there, it also had bloomed.
And now, because the caterpillar had chosen to rely on what had deep roots, it could now open its wings and fly.
Let's think a moment about those Biblical truths that have been meaningful to us, and grounded us, for a long time.
Maybe that scripture came through someone who cares for us. Maybe we heard it during a sermon, or during our quiet time in a hard season. Maybe it set the direction in our life when we were a child. Maybe we hadn't even thought about this scripture for a while. Meditate on it again for a moment.
Now, think about the future this scripture is calling us into. What does it mean to us in thisseason of our life? Imagine that while this truth is a seed deeply planted in us and slowly growing deeper and more permanent, it is also lifting our soul. Imagine it making our whole being lighter, stronger, and more hopeful.
I'm excited to hear how it will bloom in new ways in your hearts this week. Thank you.

Work that ass!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen,
it is an honour to me to be able to present my first workout video to you! Don't ask what exactly brought me to do this but here it is now! I am really excited about this because I don't know if you will like it or if I look completely ridiculous etc. :P
One of the main reasons why we tend to skip our workout is because we don't really know what to do. Of course we all could hire a personal trainer, but this is unrealistic to the most of us. So I am going to challenge YOU!! I offer you a free, quick and effective workout for your abdominal muscles combined with cardio moves. For that reason you can't bring the excuse "I don't know what do to. I need inspiration." Here you have it!
The training consists of two circuits with 5 moves each. You perform every move for 1 minute -> 1 circuit = 5 minutes. After finishing one circuit you take a break for about 30-60 seconds and then go one with the second circuit. After you finished the second circuit you start at the beginning with circuit 1 and then circuit 2. This may sounds complicated but it is really really easy!!!!
Muffintime !!
Today I want to share with you my favourite recipe for delicious, vegan and sugarfree muffins :)
They are very easy to make and I haven't met one person yet, who doesn't like them...
LUSH your life!

Leader: ‘The courts must utilise their powers’
Have your say
NEWS today that prosecutors are getting tough on housebreaking by allowing tougher sentences to be handed down is to be
welcomed.
Prosecuting housebreaking cases on an indictment will mean sheriffs in Edinburgh will be able to potentially impose a jail term of five years.
That may well seem extreme for all but the most extreme cases, but to many victims it will be considered just deserts.
Becoming the victim of a housebreaking is not just an inconvenience, it can have a long-lasting impact for those who see it as a violation. The loss of sentimental property, for instance, can be devastating and the feeling of safety in your home may never be recovered.
In Edinburgh, this happens to around four households every single day.
So if this new initiative by the Crown Office has any impact in driving down the number of break-ins, it is worthy of our
support.
For it to have that impact, however, the courts must utilise the sentencing powers which are open to them.
Gary McCourt was given 300 hours of community service and a five-year driving ban for causing the death of cyclist Audrey Fyfe. This was despite the fact that the 49-year-old had previously been jailed for causing the death of student George Dalgity, another cyclist, by reckless driving in 1986.
The McCourt case sparked a campaign which has culminated in the Crown Office announcing that it is now to appeal the leniency of the sentence.
That is to be applauded.
Like the housebreaking initiative, the effectiveness of the courts acting as a deterrent to any type of offending behaviour rests in the sentences they are handing down. A five-year sentence is no deterrent if it is never imposed.
In other words, justice has to be seen to be done.

Barre Chords Technique | Hub Guitar
Barre Chords Technique
TQ-26 video thumbnail
There are a few points about technique that are worth considering when playing barre chords. Barre chords often prove to be a stumbling block between the beginning and intermediate levels of playing guitar. When you can play barre chords accurately and cleanly, that will be a clear sign that you are moving into the intermediate level of guitar playing.
If you’re having trouble playing barre chords correctly, or want to improve them, read on.
Barre chords are much easier to play on some guitars than others. Why? A higher quality guitar, set up correctly, is simply easier to play. This difference is especially noticeable when attempting to push down all 6 strings at once.
Barre Chord Basic Technique
One Finger Barre
One finger barring across all frets.
Practice playing barre chords first with a single finger. Barre all of the strings across fret five, and play each with your picking hand. The goal is to be able to play each string clearly.
Two Finger Barre
Using two fingers to barre one fret.
In some cases, you may have another finger available to use. In these cases, you can add that finger on top of the first finger for extra support. This leaves only two fingers for fretting any other necessary chord notes.
Thumb Support
Using the thumb to support the barre chord.
Be sure to enlist the support of the thumb of the fretting hand behind the neck of the guitar. Push it firmly into the back of the guitar neck, using as much surface area of the thumb as possible to transfer energy to the barre.
Hand Strength
As your hands get stronger, playing the barre chords will be easier. What was once impossible will become nearly effortless. For this reason, any hand-strengthening practice you do on the guitar may contribute to you learning the barre chords faster.
Barre Chord Tip #1: Hold the Guitar Correctly
Many players don’t realize the importance of holding the guitar properly. It is possible to hold the guitar in a way that adds a great deal of support to the fretting hand, by pivoting the instrument off of the sternum and applying leverage that pushes the neck of the guitar into the fretting hand. Rather than pushing your finger into the fretboard, you’re pushing the fretboard into your fingers!
Barre Chord Tip #2: Prioritize the Strings that Need to Ring
Example Barre Chord
Let’s consider this dominant chord shape. The index finger barre is needed to play multiple notes. The index finger can easily push the frets on the 1st and 2nd strings because they are small and light. And it’s easy on the last string because that’s the end of the barre. It’s the middle note on the “D” string that is most difficult. That’s because this note has to be played by the barre, and it’s right in the center where the strength of the barre finger is at its lowest.
The notes on the “A” and “G” strings are going to be pressed down by other fingers. So the main job of the barre is to play that note on the “D” string. In a way, that means any additional strength added to the finger barre should be focused on the point above the D string.
Be sure that the string is not passing underneath the crease of the finger underneath the knuckle joint; this would mean you'd have to push even harder to barre successfully.
Barre Chord Tip #3: Play Lots and Lots of Power Chords
In some ways, power chords are the precursor to barre chord technique as they start to demand a higher level of wrist strength. Before you bother playing barre chords, you should be pretty comfortable playing constant power chords for 5 or even 10 minutes at a time.
This works both for 2-string power chord shapes as well as 3-string shapes.
Barre Chord Tip #4: Get a Better Guitar
If your guitar is crap, you can probably play some open chords, some scales, some basic songs. But if it isn’t any good, you’re really going to start feeling that as soon as you try to tackle harder chords like barre chords.
The feeling of a nice guitar in your hands is partially subjective, but you can be sure that more money will get you a guitar that plays better—to a point. (About $1000 for electric guitars and $1750 for acoustic guitars is where that point usually ends, by the way)
This is not to discourage learners from playing on whatever instrument that they have available, but a reminder that if you really want to learn, get the best guitar you can. Even if you have to take out a loan to buy a good instrument.
Barre Chord Tip #5: Lower Your Action
Some guitars really aren’t easy to play a barre chord on. If you haven’t had your guitar set up before, or recently, it’s a good idea to do this.
During a setup, you can make sure the action is as low as it will go. This will make playing barre chords much easier. This is done by adjusting the height of the saddleThe small ivory or cream colored piece of the guitar, mounted on the bridge, on the body of the guitar. This is the part on which the tightened strings rest, and are elevated above the body of the guitar. and also the depth of the slots carved into the nut.
Barre Chord Tip #6: Get Lighter Strings
If you’re stilling having problems, consider getting lighter strings: Elixir Nanoweb Acoustic Coated Strings (Light)[?]Affiliate Link These are easier to push down, so they’re easier to barre. It’s that simple.
Barre Chord Tip #7: Detune Your Guitar
A quick (and cheap) trick to make your guitar easier to play is to detune the strings. This will lower the tension on the strings and make them easier to push down. You can tune down a half-step, but the effect is not dramatic. Tuning down a full whole step will work on most guitars, and chords will get much easier.
Standard Tuning E A D G b e
Drop-Step Tuning D G C F a d
Difference -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2
Barre Chord Tip #8: Start Practice at Fret X
The guitar string tension is lowest in the middle of the string, around Fret X, than it is at the end of the string, at Fret I. So start practicing your barre chord shapes in the middle of the neck, and progressively move them back towards Fret I. They will get noticeably more difficult as you approach the Ist fret.
Barre chords are a stumbling block for many learners. If this problem is affecting you, don’t get discouraged! Go around. Find some other area that you can work on. Gradually, you’ll be able to build your strength to the point where you can play barre chords easily.

Is the spawning system still as bad as it was in the previous Battlefront?
I remember enemies spawning behind my own lines all the time and vice versa
wangzorz_mcwang 5 points6 points 2 years ago
You’ve got a bunch of noobs in this thread wanting that spawn system.
officialtrapp3rIden is bae 1 point2 points 2 years ago
Haven't experienced that yet
Nzash 1 point2 points 2 years ago
That's good to hear, I found it infuriating back then. Enemies shouldn't just easily spawn behind your own lines.

Ideas for Morale box for mate on Herrick.
Discussion in 'The NAAFI Bar' started by Tiddle, Jan 24, 2012.
Welcome to the Army Rumour Service, ARRSE
The UK's largest and busiest UNofficial military website.
The heart of the site is the forum area, including:
1. I've got a mate deployed on Herrick at the moment and I'm after ideas for a care package.
Any suggestions are more than welcome.
2. I suggest he's not really a mucker if you don't know what he likes.
3. A fly swat might come in useful soon. If you want to send something useful.
Otherwise a slice of pizza or a large doner kebab.
5. You're right, I think he's a right cunt.
6. Rotten doner kebab it is then!
7. Biltong and a 500Gb or 1 Terabyte external hard drive loaded with movies, series, porn and the drivers to play them.
• Like Like x 1
8. An empty can of Wobbly.
9. TurtleHead

My suggestion, and its just a suggestion, act on it at your discretion, is an inflatible arm band and 2 pieces of liver
10. Send him a kipper.
No rush, second class post will do.
11. A dead rat or mouse in cling film
12. I've already suggested that.
13. Alternatively send something useful.
14. Send him a photo of you rooting his bird.

Deputies recovered five stolen cars Thursday after someone called them about the vehicles being parked behind an abandoned single-wide trailer on Grantham School Road.
Deputies were called to 2354 Grantham School Road by the landowner about five cars being parked at their property that they did not recognize, Capt. Shawn Harris said.
Deputies were dispatched to the location and began investigating and discovered the cars were reported as stolen.
The report said the cars were stolen from local automotive businesses.
Harris said all the stolen vehicles were able to be returned to their rightful owners.
All the vehicles were locked and missing their keys when they were recovered.
Harris said nobody had been arrested for the thefts at this time and the case is under investigation.

Yeah, yeah, we know you're probably wondering why anybody from the Observer would be at SMU long enough during the summer to determine a reason NOT to be there. The answer is simple: One of us still hasn't gotten that piece of paper that determines whether we're going to be just another low-income journalist or a low-income journalist with a college diploma. But what really matters here is the fact that SMU whores itself out to hundreds of cheerleaders every summer for rah-rah camp. Like having to deal with bleached blond sorority princesses balancing cell phones in one hand and a latte and a Louis Vuitton bag in the other, while sticking perfectly pedicured feet into the road without looking to see if cars are coming, isn't enough. Now lucky SMU students have to spend summer school maneuvering through throngs of peppy ponytails and pom-poms attached to pubescent people who really just need a good smackdown. When will the madness end?
Hotel Crescent Court
There's no heart-shaped Jacuzzi, but that's part of what's romantic about the Crescent. You can be cutesy, hand-holding lovers and still be elegant in these surroundings. You can eat a fancy, expensive dinner at the Crescent Club (the elegant part) while knowing that you have a luxurious king-size bed waiting back in the suite (the romantic part). While Hotel ZaZa is the place to go for a crazy lost weekend with an acrobat you just met, Hotel Crescent Court seems to beckon to the newly engaged, the longtime lovers and the 25th anniversary celebrants.
Granada Theater
For a venue, short of staying financially afloat, there's nothing more important than treating the talent hospitably. It's not hard, really. Give a band a nice place to sit, give them a few drink tickets, or even better, put some iced-down beverages in their backstage area. That's really all you gotta do. If you can offer food, that's even better. A shower? They'll all be thanking you in the van later. To be honest, there's more than one spot in Dallas that has these amenities to offer, but it's the vibe at the Granada that separates them from the rest. Owner Mike Schoder and his staff go out of their way to accommodate bands, and it shows. A local band member recently divulged that it was the best backstage he's ever been privy to. "The pizza was awesome, there was a good couch and the guys were really cool helping us out. Oh, and there was a couch!"
Smog, crime, city council--welcome to Dallas. Many Dallasites dream of a little place in the country, a horse, some chickens and fresh air. The mistake many of them make is moving to Collin or Denton County in search of Green Acres. Often overlooked is our neighbor to the east, Kaufman County. Land is less expensive, the major highway (U.S. 175) is less congested, and towns such as Crandall, Talty and Forney offer much more of a small-town feel. What if we said you could live in a three-bedroom home on an acre in a cul-de-sac, just 30 minutes from downtown Dallas, for about $130,000? Your Realtor's waiting by the phone.
Correct us if we're wrong, but we find Sunday to be the official hair-of-the-dog day. Friday and Saturday nights have wreaked havoc on the body, and now a little quality time must be spent recuperating. Lee Harvey's opens at 1 p.m. Excellent. Now we need discounted therapy. Two-dollar Bloody Marys and mimosas. Beautiful. This whole scenario would be perfect, but we're missing our best bud. We've ignored him Friday and Saturday nights, because frankly, he just wasn't welcome where we were going, but Lee Harvey's doesn't mind his shedding or his tail. That's right, dogs are welcome for a little Sunday hang time at the tucked-away bar. The only rule for Dog Day Afternoon is that your BFF must play well with others (canines and humans).

2014 Lineup Projections
Discussion in 'Miami Marlins' started by Wild Card, Dec 5, 2013.
1. Entendu
Entendu sXe
I really hope they don't sign Uribe to anything more than a 1 or 2 year deal. Who really believes he's going to repeat last season, or even half of that, for the remainder of the contract. If he's a 2 WAR player 2 years from now, I would be surprised.
2. el penguino
el penguino Marlin
Too bad Coghlan won't be around anymore to put all of the hitters in the lineup in their natural places.
squall and pollyvonwog like this.
3. Backin2008
Backin2008 Backin2008
1. Yelich
2. Furcal
3. Youkilis
4. Stanton
5. Saltalamacchia
6. Ruggiano platooning with either Garrett Jones or Jason Kubel
7. Morrison
8. Hechavarria
Ozuna and Dietrich in AAA at the start of the season.
4. Wild Card
Wild Card Batting Third
That's what Furcal is for silly.
5. el penguino
el penguino Marlin
You left me with the impression that only Chris Coghlan could have that weight on his shoulders.
6. Mr. Baller
Mr. Baller Muckdog
Ozuna will be in the majors
7. Backin2008
Backin2008 Backin2008
I wouldn't be so sure about that. He started like a ball of fire until the pitchers got a book on him.
8. Larry
Larry The Head Fish .
Ozuna will be given every chance to win the job in ST. It's his to lose.
9. BenderRobot
BenderRobot Hello! VIP
I'm fine with Ozuna in the Majors or back in AA/AAA. Either works for me.
However, this Jones signing kinda puts a damper on my lineup idea. :lol
10. jsprt05
jsprt05 Hammerhead
I believe Furcal will bat 1st
If you look at his career....Furcal has led off about 90% of the games he has started.
11. I was thinking this too, not so much for Furcal but for how it should put Yelich in a better spot in the order.
12. Wild Card
Wild Card Batting Third
I think at this point Yelich should be leading off, give him as many AB's as humanly possible. Furcal hit leadoff most of his career as an elite player, which he no longer is. However he doesn't K much, he's a switch hitter, and an excellent bunter with good speed. All these things point to a productive #2 hitter.
13. Backin2008
Backin2008 Backin2008
It looks like we finally agree on something Wild Card.
14. el penguino
el penguino Marlin
You are leaving out the main ingredient--he doesn't get on base much anymore. He put up a .314 OBP in his last two seasons of play. His speed is also a fraction of what it used to be.
At this point he's more of a true bottom of the order hitter, not a productive number 2 hitter.
15. jsprt05
jsprt05 Hammerhead
I'm not saying Furcal should leadoff lol
16. Wild Card
Wild Card Batting Third
He's the best thing we have.
17. MrMarlinPride
MrMarlinPride Unsung Hero VIP
Still have LoMo for now. However the lefty lefty thing a top of the order isn't always the best option.
18. BenderRobot
BenderRobot Hello! VIP
Furcal being a switch-hitter nullifies that, methinks. I'm never a fan of two straight lefties, myself, unless they're the best two hitters on the team and batting 3/4. Even then, eh.
I guess the lineup for now could be, assuming Morrison IS dealt:
LF Yelich
2B Furcal
RF Stanton
CF Ozuna
C Saltalamacchia
1B Jones/Canha/Lucas/Whatever
3B Dietrich/Lucas/Whatever
SS Hech
1B and 3B platoons, I suppose!
On the flip side, if we decide to let Ozuna/Marisnick get more MiLB time, platoon Jones in left, and keep LoMo, then ...
CF Yelich
2B Furcal
RF Stanton
1B Morrison
C Salty/LF Ruggiano
LF Jones/C Salty
3B Dietrich/Lucas
SS Hech
Right side of the slash = vs lefties ... even though Dietrich did hit lefties somewhat OK.
19. Wild Card
Wild Card Batting Third
Furcal is a switch hitter, so that's actually a positive, not a negative. The only reason you don't want to bat lefties next to each other is for lefty/lefty match up purposes, and since Furcal can just move into the other batters box in that event, no big deal.
20. Backin2008
Backin2008 Backin2008
I think Furcal is going to be a solid #2 hitter for the Marlins. .275 with 30 stolen bases if he can stay healthy.

Filthy Celebrity Imposter
Last night I impersonated Catherine Zeta-Jones so good, I talked Michael Douglas into Frenching me while I puked.
You're probably like, "Man, Michael Douglas really loves his wife."
But you're wrong, because he did the same thing about a month ago when I dressed up like Hulk Hogan.
When you're an aging multimillionaire like him, I guess you take what you can get.
People always want to know how I'm so good at acting like a celebrity. Well, if you want to be a celebrity imposter filthy or not you'd be better off killing yourself, because no one can pull off the look and the voice of everyone from Barbara Hershey to Quincy Jones like I can.
But the look and the voice are only half of it. If you don't know how to act like a celebrity, some real celebrity will be on to you in no time and you'll end up in that celebrity's dungeons.
And if you don't think every celebrity has at least eight dungeons, you should let a Mountain Dew bottle full of Gary Sinise's snot read this instead of you, because it's got more sense, ass-nuts!
Anyway, since you'll never pull off the look and sound of a celebrity like me, I'll let you in on the three keys to acting like one. You'd better be thankful, too. Next time I see you, you should give me oral sex with a mouthful of Stovetop Stuffing.
#1Whenever you walk into a celebrity's mansion, be like, "Nice mansion... Not!" They'll instantly know how hot-shit you are. One time, I was pretending to be Dennis Quaid and I forgot to say "Nice mansion... Not!" to Bruce Springsteen. He gave me a suspicious look, so I had to punch his dog in the face to show him I'm hot shit. That was a close one, but he was so impressed, he gave me six limos as a doggie bag.
#2Man or woman, nothing gets a celebrity hotter than being fisted with a handful of bees.
#3Make sure you're really good at barfing up corn-dogs.
I find it best to consume them whole, like a snake, or Madonna.
One time, I was pretending to be Janet Jackson and I was giving the real Brad Pitt a totem-pole.
He was like, "I got offered this movie, The Mexican, but I think I'm going to turn it down so I'll have more time to spend riding motorcycles and drinking cans of beer at my mansion."
I was like, "that's cool," but then I went and dressed up like Brad Pitt and made The Mexican.
When I showed up, Julia Roberts was all, "What's up?"
So, I was like, "Not much, I'm your co-star, Brad Pitt."
And she goes, "Okay, well I have totally wicked-foul sex with all of my co-stars."
So, we went to her trailer every day and had the most disgusting intercourse in the history of the world.
On the last day, she told me I had sex with her boobs way better than Kiefer Sutherland had sex with her butt and three times as good as Lyle Lovett had sex with her hair. So the next day, I dressed up like Lyle Lovett and went to her house pretending to cry.
"Why did you tell Brad Pitt that I was bad at having sex with your hair?" I asked.
And she goes, "Oh my god! He told you that? Oh, Lyle Lovett, I'm so sorry. How can I make it up to you?"
So, I go, "Drink a whole bathtub full of my pee."
And so she did.
Right now, I look like Luke Perry. Tonight, I'll look like Cindy Crawford. But you'll always look like a dead lady's butthole!

Among the important consequences of non-voluntary migration due to forced exile is the loss of human capital in the country of origin. Quantitative measurement of the human capital represented by the Spanish refugees who migrated to Mexico after the Spanish Civil War is largely missing from the economic-history literature. The use of multivariate regression models, focusing on occupation, height, and foreign-language facility as proxies of human capital, finds that the Spanish Republican refugees to Mexico presented a premium of human capital exceeding that of traditional economic migrants from Spain to Mexico, who were already considered “privileged.” The data sources also allow the analysis to isolate the human capital of the exiled women, thereby overcoming the traditional invisibility of women in recorded economic history.

'In a split second she had disappeared'
StevieMy tribe of six |
An Easter egg was the beginning of a terrifying 15 minutes for Stevie.
3 Recipes PERFECT for Easter!00:44:31
3 Recipes PERFECT for Easter!
There are a few things wrong with the world right now, or at the very least, a few issues that make life as a mum a lot bloody harder.
Such things include people who love to judge others and think they’re so much better, that “it” would never happen to them (news flash, no-one likes a Judgey McJudge Face), society – which seems to consist of the majority of the population who have zero ounce of empathy or compassion, people who stand by and watch something bad happen but do nothing.
Last but not least, retailers who put stupid bright coloured, itty bitty toys, chocolate and lollies right beside the checkout for the sole purpose of making mums everywhere more miserable and kids whinge.
I’m sure as parents, we can all probably agree, that we have had an unfortunate experience with at least one of those. But on one unfortunate day I dealt with all FOUR, which lead to one of the scariest moments in any parent’s life.
And, it all started with an Easter egg.
Shopping trip from hell
It was around this time last year I was going through the self-serve checkout with my then three-year-old and 12-month-old. My three-year-old spotted the display of Easter Eggs, conveniently placed next to the register. She jumped out of the trolley, me mid scan and she grabbed an egg.
Soon I was facing an Easter egg standoff as she and I quietly debated, and I tried to get her to putt the chocolate back. Obviously, like every other mum out there, I tried to not make a scene. I was being as discreet as I could be when going up against a threenanger in public.
She began to unwrap it. I said "No" firmly again, for the LAST time and went to grab it (unclench it from her death grip) and so she seized the opportunity to run off with the egg instead.
She was gone
I call out to her (which usually works) as she begins to run – she’s done it before, only ever venturing as far as just out of arm's reach, but no respons. She disappears as my vision is obstructed.
People begin to watch as I start calling out and panicking, but no one helps.
I quickly decide to leave my baby (12-months-old) in the trolley with my bag and purse, all my stuff mid-check out and give chase. An impossible choice, but the right one given the circumstances. I run in the direction she was headed, but she is GONE!
I run back to check my baby is OK, and he is – thank goodness!
I look around and ask the attendant to watch my baby/trolley/bag for a second and I run out, look again while calling for her, ducking into all the surrounding stores and asking them and anyone else I pass if they have seen her. No one has.
My stomach immediately sinks. She’s gone. No reply as I yell. No one has seen her.
The worst case scenarios start to play through my mind. There is a whole mall, the doors to outside car park are just there, doors to the front street close by, a "million" other shops and strangers. Where is she? Will anything happen to her?
I break down crying, absolutely wrecked with guilt, panic and utter worry. I’m bawling and screaming out to her.
As everyone else watches on, only one man and one woman offer to help.
Are you KIDDING me?
I go back to check on my baby while I cry. The attendant "watching" my baby and trolley just kept asking me to pay for the egg!
"Can you just pay for the egg, $4.50 and then we will call security."
She just kept asking me to pay for that f*cking Egg, while my child is missing and I am clearly upset and distressed.
To give that ultimatum of paying for the egg and THEN security would be called, I just couldn’t even grasp.
Concerned for their $4.50, I paid it, all while worried sick, crying and only two other people out looking for her.
No one else offers to help, no one consoles me but people stand there and watch on.
It was an incident that only lasted 10 minutes from start to finish, but it felt like forever. When your world is spiralling out of control, time stands still.
I am beyond grateful for the two kind strangers that brought my daughter back to me safely, with chocolate in hand and mouth. She was found on the other side of the mall, hiding in one of those kid rides.
A rush of relief
I held her tight, too relieved that she was OK to be upset at her for running off. I metaphorically picked myself up and in reality, actually picked both my children up, pushing my trolley to the car while I quietly cried.
Then something happens, another stranger stops me, completely embracing me with the biggest hug. She had NO IDEA what just happed, she just got out of her car and was walking into the mall but she passed me by as I cried and hugged me.
Through one of the worst “near miss” experiences you can have as a parent I had both my faith in humanity questioned beyond belief and completely restored.
I could never thank those three people who showed me nothing but kindness, compassion and empathy, who selflessly took time from their own lives to help save ours.
Although, I once would have thought such gestures would be unquestionable and second nature for most, this made me realise they’re not.
So next time you see someone sad, HUG them. You have no idea what they’ve just been through and how much it will mean to them.
Next time you see someone in need of help, lend your hand. It takes nothing from you, and will more than likely make your day, as much as it does the other.
Next time you see a mum struggling, reassure her. There’s nothing worse than being made to feel like you're failing by someone else, as if we don't feel that way already.
And, next time someone’s kid runs off with an unpaid Easter egg and the mum is distraught and crying, DON’T make her pay for the egg before you offer to help. NO ONE wants to eat an Easter egg or save $4.50 badly enough, to make up an elaborate hoax.
Stevie blogs at My Tribe Of Six and you also find her on Facebook and Instagram.

James Brolin
About James Brolin
Steven Kiley on "Marcus Welby, M.D." (ABC, 1969-76) and five years as Peter McDemott, the general manager of "Hotel" (ABC, 1983-88).
Brolin was raised in the Westwood area of Los Angeles, not far from 20th Century Fox, the studio where he began in show business, first aspiring to be a cinematographer or director. But the studio soon put him under contract as an actor, and he made his debut in an episode of the TV series "Bus Stop" (ABC, 1961), and in a bit in the feature generational comedy "Take Her, She's Mine" (1963). He continued in small parts in Fox productions (including a recurring role on the 1966-67 ABC TV series "The Monroes" and as a private in the 1965 Frank Sinatra movie, "Von Ryan's Express") until 1967, when he got his first leading role opposite Jacqueline Bisset in a movie in "The Cape Town Affair", the remake of Sam Fuller's 1953 racially-charged "Pick-Up on South Street".
Brolin's feature career failed to ignite, and he moved to Universal Studios, where he was cast as Dr. Kiley, the highly-trained young physician who dreamed of a high-powered career but ended up sharing a practice with an aging but kindly general practitioner (Robert Young) in the 1969 TV-movie/pilot for "Marcus, Welby, M.D." Brolin won an Emmy for his work in 1970 and became a TV star. He was immediately cast in several TV-movies, including "Short Walk to Daylight" (ABC, 1972) and "Trapped" (ABC, 1973), the latter was the highest-rated TV-movie of that season, thanks in no small measure to Brolin's popularity.
Brolin attempted a feature film career after the demise of the series. It was hoped his big break would be as Clark Gable opposite Jill Clayburgh in "Gable and Lombard" (1976), but his work as "The King" failed to impress critics and did not meet the expectations of Gable's fans. Within a year, Brolin found himself in "The Car" (1977), as a cop battling an automobile possessed by the devil. In 1979, he was in another horror picture, "The Amityville Horror", as the terrorized head of the household. The film became the then-highest-grossing independent feature film to date. His subsequent big screen outings were generally dismissed by both audiences and critics (the exception was Allison Anders' 1992 "Gas Food Lodging").
In 1983, Brolin returned to series TV as Peter McDermott, the general manager of the fictional St. Gregory Hotel in San Francisco on "Hotel". While the ABC series was anthological in nature, McDermott did end up in a romance with his assistant, portrayed by Connie Sellecca. The series had a five-year run, during which Brolin directed many of the episodes. After it was canceled, Brolin hosted the syndicated reality series "Reunion" (1990), in which past loves found each other again. He followed with work on two short-lived series, the primetime soap "Angel Falls" (CBS, 1993) and "Extreme" (ABC, 1995), which had been described in the press as "'Baywatch' on skis." He returned to the small screen as star of the syndicated action series "Pensacola: Wings of Gold" in 1997.
Brolin has also to appear in longforms, including the 1991 CBS miniseries "And the Sea Will Tell", based on the book by attorney Vincent Bugliosi. Additionally, Brolin directed episodes of the ABC series "The Young Riders", which starred his son, Josh Brolin. The younger Brolin also appeared in his father's feature directorial debut, the direct-to-video release "My Brother's War" (1998), about the Irish Republican Army. Perhaps after rubbing elbows with his wife Barbra Streisand's A-List friends, Brolin's career heated up again. He played a small but important role in director Steven Soderberg's acclaimed ensemble drama "Traffic" (2000), and appeared as a businessman who gets in the middle of Leonardo DiCaprio's family in "Catch Me If You Can" (2002). He also played against type in wacky comedies, appearing as Dana Carvey super-spy dad in "Master of Disguise" (2002) and playing Selma Blair's shotgun-toting father in "A Guy Thing" (2003).

A girl is my life long friend.
This girl is amazing.
This girl gives me a reason to wake up in the morning.
This girl Has a boyfriend.
This girl will never see me.
So what's the point.
A girl sits near me.
She hears what I have to say.
She is swayed by the thoughts of others.
She doesnt give what I say a chance.
So why bother with her?
Cause she's simply.....
A girl has a locker beside me.
This girl I've known for a year.
We can tell each other anything.
We go to each other for comfort.
We go to each other for an amazing time.
But she'll never look at me.
A man's life is spent most of the time caught up in girls.
Girls can simply do what they want.
Boys simply do what they can.
Why does it matter?

That's It! I'm Cancelling My Subscription to Travel + Leisure!
Okay, I don't want to blame the messenger, but, dag, Baltimore really didn't fare well in their "America's Favorite Cities" readers' poll. When your best showing—out of 35 cities polled about—is coming in #18 for "Historical Sites and Monuments," that's not exactly something to boast about. (Oh, we also came in #18 as being an "Affordable Getaway." So there's that)
Results that really stick in my craw? Number 28 for culture? We have culture up the wazoo in Baltimore (little known fact: "Culture up the Wazoo" was one of the city's rejected marketing slogans.) And we came in 34th in a vague category called "People." Hey, we have people! (Another rejected slogan.) Actually, the People category breaks down into such sub-categories as Friendliness (29), Attractiveness (34!?) and Intelligence (29—uh, there's a little world class hospital/university called Johns Hopkins I'd like to tell those readers about.)
Okay, while I wallow in bitterness, why don't you go ahead and read the darn thing for yourself?
Or, better still, you can improve our standing in next year's poll, by voting here!
12 issues for $18!

Communication Strategies for Those With Hearing Loss
Home / blogs / Communication Strategies for Those With Hearing Loss
If you suffer from hearing loss, you have probably experienced frustration at not being able to follow a conversation or being left out of conversations altogether. You have probably also been on the receiving end of other’s frustrations when you have to ask them to repeat something for the second or third time. The following are strategies that you and those you speak with on a regular basis can use to ensure that you do not miss out on what is being said.hearing loss
Be Upfront About Your Hearing Loss:
You can eliminate frustrations and misunderstandings for both you and your conversation partner if you let them know about your hearing loss. The person that you are talking to can then adjust their speech, where they are sitting, or other environmental factors to make it easier for you to hear. You also will not be perceived as being rude if you happen not to respond when they something.
Getting Your Attention:
Ask your conversation partner to say your name or touch your arm to get your attention before speaking. This will allow you to shift your focus so that you will be less likely to have to ask the speaker to repeat themselves.
Get Face to Face:
Facial expressions and lip movements can make it easier for you to follow a conversation. When possible, ask your conversation partner to sit directly across from you. You should also make sure that the room is light enough for you to see their mouth clearly.
No Need to Shout:
If someone tries to compensate for your hearing loss by shouting or exaggerating their mouth movements, remind them that it is easier for you to hear if they speak naturally and clearly. Do not be afraid to ask people to speak at a rate and volume that are only slightly slower and louder than normal to keep the words from becoming distorted.
Ask People to Sit on Your “Good Side”:
Most people with hearing loss have one ear that is stronger than the other. When possible, reposition yourself or ask the person that you are speaking with to sit on the side with the best hearing.
Minimize Distractions and Background Noise:
When at home, turn off televisions, radios, and other loud noises that can compete with the conversation. When out at restaurants or other social situations, try to find a table away from the front door, kitchen, or noisy areas. If possible, try to arrange the outing for a time when the restaurant is less congested so that it will be quieter.
Consider the Room Acoustics:
Large rooms with high ceilings and rooms with lots of tile and hard surfaces can distort sound and make it difficult to understand speech. At home or work, try to use carpeting, rugs, and other soft surfaces to keep sound from reverberating. In public places, you may have to ask the person that you are speaking with to speak slower than normal and to pause between sentences to minimize the distortion and overlap between words.
Rephrase Instead of Repeat:
Instead of simply asking your conversation partner to repeat themselves, ask them to rephrase what they said. A different choice of words may be easier to understand or provide context to help you understand what is being said.
If your hearing loss is affecting your family or professional life, an ENT or audiologist can help you find the right hearing device for your lifestyle and type of hearing loss.

CS372H Spring 2011 Homework 1 Solutions
Problem 1
Define three styles of switching from user mode to supervisor mode.
1. Interrupts, when a device sends an interrupt to the CPU.
2. When a program executes a system call, which is usually implemented by a trap instruction.
3. When a program performs an operation that causes a hardware exception, such as divide by zero, illegal memory access or execution of an illegal opcode.
Problem 2
Which of the following components is responsible for loading the initial value in the program counter for an application program before it starts running:
* Compiler
* Linker
* Loader
* Boot module or boot ROM The loader. The linker groups several modules and resolves external references, but the linker really does not perform the actual loading of the program itself (except for dynamic linking, which we will study later in the course).
Problem 3
A hardware designer argues that there are enough transistors on the chip to provide 1024 integer registers and 512 floating point registers. You have been invited as the operating system guru to give opinion about the new design.
1. What is the effect of having such a large number of registers on the operating system?
2. What additional hardware features you would recommend added to the design above.
3. What happens if the hardware designer also wants to add a 16-station pipeline into the CPU. How would that affect the context
switching overhead?
1. The cost of a context switch or interrupt handling becomes very expensive. Also, the data structures that store the registers as part of a process context become large. This leads high overhead in memory and also may make the implementation of lightweight threads expensive.
2. A multithreaded architecture would be a good use of the abundance of registers. The idea is to partition the registers into a number of banks, for example, a set of 1024 registers could be divided into 32 banks of 32 registers each. Then, wewould be able to have the register sets of 32 processes without having to save it or restore it each time a context switchoccurs.
3. Since the pipeline has to be flushed on an interrupt, a deeper pipeline will take time to be flushed, increasing the latency of serving the interrupt and overhead. The penalty of a context switch increases.
Problem 4
Given the following piece of code:
main(int argc, char ** argv)
int child = fork();
int c = 5;
if(child == 0)
c += 5;
child = fork();
c += 10;
c += 5;
How many different copies of the variable care there? What are their values?
The piece of code shown creates two processes. Therefore, we have a total of three processes, the parent, the first and second child. Each of these has its own private copy of the variable c. For the parent, the variable c be 20 before the end of the program. For the first child (the one created in the first program statement), the variable c will contain the value 10 before the end of the program. For the second child (the one created in the else clause), the variable c will contain the value 15 before the end of the program.
Problem 5
Given the following piece of code How many processes are created if the above piece of code is run? Hint: It may be easier to solve this problem by induction. To solve this problem, we compute the number of processes that get created by calling the function forkthem(). This can be given by the following equation:
n > 0: T(n) = 2 T(n-1) + 1
n = 0: T(0) = 0
where T(n) is the number of processes created by the function. To see why this is the case, consider what happens when the function is called. The first statement calls the system call fork() which creates a child in addition to the caller. Both the caller and the child then execute a recursive call to forkthem() with an argument set to n-1. Therefore, a call to forkthem() creates one process of its own, and then is responsible for all the children that will get created by the function with n-1. The solution to the recurrence equation is 2^n - 1.
Problem 6
What is the output of the following programs (inspect the manual for the system calls if you need more information, but please solve the problem without compiling and running the program).
Program 1:
val = 5;
printf("%d\n", val);
return val;
Program 2:
val = 5;
printf("%d\n", val);
return val;
In the first program, the parent process creates a child and then waits for the child to exit (through the system call "wait"). The child executes and prints out the value of val, which is "6" after the v++ statement. The child then returns the value of val to the parent, which receives it in the argument to "wait" (& val). The parent then prints out the value of val, which is now 7. Note that the parent and child have seperate copies of the variable "val".
Using similar reasoning, you can see that the parent in program 2 waits for the child to return, and the child exits immediately. In this case only one value gets printed out which is the number 6 (from the parent process).
Problem 7
A typical hardware architecture provides an instruction called return from interrupt, and abbreviated by something like iret. This instruction switches the mode of operation from supervisor mode to user mode. This instruction is usually only available while the machine is running in supervisor mode.
1. Explain where in the operating system this instruction would be used.
2. What happens if an application program executes this instruction?
1. The operating system calls "iret" whenever it wants to give control to a user program. This happens at the end of a contextswitch, or when an interrupt service routine is finished.
2. Since the "iret" instruction is usually a privileged instruction, an application program trying to execute it will cause a hardware exception, because it is illegal for user programs to execute privileged opcodes.
Problem 8
System Calls vs. Procedure Calls: How much more expensive is a system call than a procedure call? Write a simple test program to compare the cost of a simple procedure call to a simple system call ("getpid()" is a good candidate on UNIX; see the man page.) (Note: be careful to prevent the optimizing compiler from "optimizing out" your procedure calls. Do not compile with optimization on.)
Hint: You should use system calls such as gethrtime() or gettimeofday() for time measurements. Design your code such that the measurement overhead is negligible. Also, be aware that timer values in some systems have limited resolution (e.g., millisecond resolution).
For your experiment, you should measure the total time for a large number of system/function calls, and then find the average time per call in order to overcome the course resolution of your timing functions. For example, here's a sample code for measuring the time taken for a simple system call and a simple function call:
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <assert.h>
int foo(){
long nanosec(struct timeval t){ /* Calculate nanoseconds in a timeval structure */
int i,j,res;
long N_iterations=1000000; /* A million iterations */
float avgTimeSysCall, avgTimeFuncCall;
struct timeval t1, t2;
/* Find average time for System call */
res=gettimeofday(&t1,NULL); assert(res==0);
for (i=0;i<N_iterations; i++){
res=gettimeofday(&t2,NULL); assert(res==0);
avgTimeSysCall = (nanosec(t2) - nanosec(t1))/(N_iterations*1.0);
/* Find average time for Function call */
printf("Average time for System call getpid : %f\n",avgTimeSysCall);
printf("Average time for Function call : %f\n",avgTimeFuncCall);
Sample output on a linux machine :
> gcc -O0 testtime.c -o testtime
> ./testtime
Average time for System call getpid : 394.778015
Average time for Function call : 15.080000
Problem 9
When an operating system receives a system call from a program, a switch to the operating system code occurs with the help of the hardware. In such a switch, the hardware sets the mode of operation to supervisor mode, calls the operating system trap handler at a location specified by the operating system, and allows the operating system to return back to user mode after it finishes its trap handling. Now, consider the stack on which the operating system must run when it receives the system call. Should this be a different stack from the one that the application uses, or could it use the same stack as the application program? Assume that the application program is blocked while the system call runs.
Most compilers set the stack pointer to be at the beginning of the stack area when a function is called. Thus, automatic
variables are found underneath the location to which the stack pointer is pointing to (except for the HP PA-RISC, in which
the stack grows upward). Thus,
1. When an interrupt occurs, the kernel has no idea as to how many automatic variables the user program has allocated on the stack Therefore, it cannot just set the stack pointer past the current call frame of the use program, because it does not know where are the call frame limits. As such, the kernel must use a different stack to execute the interrupt handling routine.
2. On a multiprocessor, executing on the user stack allows another active user thread (on a different processor) to modify the stack and forcing the kernel to fail (maliciously, or unintentionally).
3. If the current stack is allocated on the user program's heap (such as in user-level thread packages), then the kernel code can cause a stack overflow and start destroying data in the user's address space.

How I Stole imguʀ.com And Pwned The World
(Command-Line Ninja) #1
I was up early, checking my twitter feed, and I came across this.
They were a bunch of guys who decided to take letters in a domain name, and convert them to unicode. So they look visually the same, although they are actually completely different. I decided to give this a go.
Hot Damn
I hopped over to the Hompglyph Attack Generator, put in imgur, and found a close enough match. Then I hopped on over to my favourite registrar and registered it.
Here is what it looks like i.imguʀ.com/ai8sch.jpg
Don’t worry, there isn’t some sketchy 0day or IP logger on there. I promise. I’m from the internet, you can trust me.
You may notice that when you copy and paste that into your URL bar, it will automatically resolve to i.imguʀ.com, that in fact is the domain I actually registered. These are known as unicode domains. They are supported by major browsers. A legitimate use of these would be emoji’s in the url.
I picked Imgur as people often use it to share images over IRC. If you throw in a link without a https:// prefix, they will just copy and paste it.
In fact, I tried it in the IRC and several people tried the link. It looks pretty innocent and would catch many people out. Thus, I hope this short overview of the potential for this attack is enough to help you keep your eyes open!
Keep Nullin’ :stuck_out_tongue:
- pry0cc
(Command-Line Ninja) #2
Further findings. On a terminal client, http://i.imguʀ.com/ai8sch.jpg, doesn’t highlight correctly. However on the webchat, the whole thing highlights and operates correctly. In fact, any website containing these thinks works.
(oaktree) #3
This is pretty cool. I’d be interested to see some data about how many people fall for this and what OS they use. Bet it’ll be a lotta Windows users!
and that’s just imgur, imagine what it’d do with all the farmville players clicking fасеbοο (its not registered yet i think)
(Command-Line Ninja) #5
The big caveot is that when you click it, it turns into the actual domain. So it misleads to the click, after that it may not function too well.
Who’s going to look at the address bar if everything is as expected? Most people probably won’t think much of it even if they notice.
Hello there, first of all: Excellent read, great PoC! Very informative.
I decided to test how the domain name interacts with emails and will post my results below:
(By “Nickname” I am referring to the “Name” you could select, in this example it would be "[email protected]", the supposed email of the actual domain owner.)
- Preview shows the “Nickname” eg: [email protected] (non-unicode, the ‘actual owner’ of the domain)
- Actual mail shows the “Nickname” and the Unicode email eg: [email protected]ʀ.com (unicode)
- Preview shows the “Nickname”
- Actual mail shows the “Nickname” and the translated email eg: [email protected]ʀ.com
AOL (lol):
-Preview shows the “Nickname”
- Actual mail shows the “Nickname”, when you press “Show details” it displays the translated mail eg: [email protected]ʀ.com
IRC (Weechat):
- http://i.imguʀ.com actually displays the url correctly, you can even click on it directly
- The URL displays correctly, and when your unicode domain, redirects to the original domain in the DNS records, the preview lists the preview of the original domain
(When the DNS records do not redirect to the original site, it displays the spoofed preview, for example the i.imguʀ.com preview, displays pry0cc’s preview page)
Edit: Added Discord results.
(I hope I wasn’t too confusing, if anything is unclear, feel free to ask me for more info!)
Kind regards,
(Command-Line Ninja) #8
So it seems gmail is still vulnerable!
Good job on your research @melanu!
Thank you and indeed, it’s pretty a serious phishing threat.
(Not a N00b, but still learning) #10
BTW, Whatsapp and Signal both seem vulnerable, only the underline looks a bit weird.
Tested on iOS 10
(Command-Line Ninja) #11
Works on android too. SMS could prove very powerful as well.
(whoami) #12
This is cool, I have to try it.
(Command-Line Ninja) #13

C++ library for storing scientific data in the NIX data model.
The NIX data model allows to store fully annotated scientific datasets, i.e. the data together with its metadata within the same container. Our aim is to achieve standardization by providing a common/generic data structure for a multitude of data types. See the wiki or the introduction for more information.
The current implementations store the actual data using the HDF5 file format as a storage backend.
NIX emerged from the activities of the Electrophysiology Task Force of the INCF Datasharing Program (2010-2015). It is a registered research resource with the RRID:SCR_016196.
We have assembled introductory material that illustrates using nix. The tutorials contain several code examples. The use_cases explain in more detail how nix is used in real world situations.

Salmon Creek
• 36
• Share
We're planning for a spring wedding, and the hall we've rented serves Salmon Creek as their default. We've never tried it before, but were thinking of just passing and paying the corkage fee for our own bottles. I wouldn't say we're wine snobs, but we tend to buy bottles in the $15-$30 range.
Anybody tried Salmon Creek before? Thoughts?

1. A rose by any other name . . .
Salmon Creek is one of the many labels owned by the Bronco Wine Co., producers of Charles Shaw (aka Two Buck Chuck). I'd pass and pay corkage, but that's me.
1. it's horrible.
1. I believe that Salmon Creek is a made-up label that sells wine only to restaurants (and perhaps caterers).
It is very inexpensive -- perhaps in the $3 per bottle range.
The clever idea is that it is never available retail, so the restaurant can serve something that is not available for purchase other than in restaurants. So you can't compare the retail price of the wine as you could with a more popular brand.
What bothers me is that the restaurants usually price the wine at $20 per bottle, or so, which is obviously a huge markup. But they have to do that otherwise people would get suspicious. If they priced it at $10 per bottle, maybe more people would purchase wine in restaurants, but it would make their other wine seem outrageously expensive.
That said, I once tried a Salmon Creek Cabernet, and it was not bad.

1. re: Joel
I'm not sure what you mean by a "made up" label, but the practice you are describing is a reasonably common one.
Salmon Creek is one of several labels, as I said above, from Bronco (the most famous of which is Charles Shaw, but they control roughly a dozen or so). It is "on-sale" only, meaning restuarants and caterers.
Another example of this is William Wycliffe -- it's a "restaurant only" label made by Gallo to avoid the image that the restaurants how wine is Gallo Burgundy and/or Chablis.
1. re: Joel
You are correct, it is an on premise brand only and checks in at around $3 a bottle. Nothing like paying $3 a bottle and charging $4-$5 a glass. It's not bad, the Pinot Noir is pretty damn good. How much are they planning on charging you a bottle?
1. re: Mr Lee Ho
Salmon Creek is not just an on-premise brand; I manage a wine shop in Maine and it's available for purchase to sell in retail stores such as mine.
2. re: Joel
I'm an F&B director for a hotel in Southern California and Salmon Creek is our house brand. Pricing, for all wines, usually goes as far as the first glass pays for the bottle. Obviously, this allows a bottle to sit on the shelf if no one else wants it and you didn't take a lose financially. With that said, knowing that there are 4.5 glasses in a 750ml bottle, it gives you a bottle cost.
1. re: Joel
Just looking up Salmon Creek. I know these posts are old but I too first had Salmon Creek in a restaurant and was told it wasnt sold in stores. Well I never listen. Went to website for Salmon Creek and found a wine store , near me in Charlotte that sells it . We buy the Chardonnay by the case. Just love it and I am not always a bit Chardonnay fan.
1. re: Joel
It also sells in wine shops. We sell it for $6.99/bottle (chard, pinot grigio, pinot noir & cab). I'd do as zin1953 suggests and serve something else BUT a lot of folks like it and we sell a ton of it. So, depending on your guest list you may or may not want to serve it. It's not horrible swill, but it's not anything you would seek out either. It's definitely better than 2 buck chuck.
2. My wife and I bought several bottles of the 2001 merlot at a favorite little restaurant in the northern Sierra for $12, which we really enjoyed with various meals. Years ago, I vaguely remember reading an article where Bronco snuck Salmon Creek into the SF Chronicle Wine Tasting, where it did not belong since it was not for sale to the public, and it won a medal. I know nothing of the current production but there is way more horrible wine than Salmon Creek.
1. Well, we finally had our tasting the other day, and neither one of us was taken with it. It seemed to be a combination of our tastes and our experience (which wasn't great), but Salmon Creek didn't really win us over. We're shopping around now for some wines to bring to the hall ourselves.
1. Salmon Creek (or similar) was originally what Mr. Franzia wanted restaurants to sell at a $10 pricepoint, to get people to drink wine in restaurants as a non-exotic, affordable part of the meal. I would imagine that it is a $25/case or similar cost to the restaurant (in states without the legal extortion schemes). I have had it in various airline lounges, and some of it was drinkable, and some of it I have left as undrinkable. It is probably as reliable as 2 buck chuck, and sometimes it will have high/mixed quality grapes, and other times it will have Jug #2 quality. Bronco does make some much better wines, but Salmon Creek isn't one of them. The irony is that he wants inexpensive drinkable wines to be on every table, and things like Salmon Creek could make it happen, if restaurants would charge $10/bottle.
If it was my wedding, I'd pay the corkage.
1. We too are being served Salmon Creek by the restaurant where we are having our wedding in 3 weeks. The restaurant is in LA and is one of the best according to Zagats, so I was surprised to see that Salmon Creek is what they are serving. Since it isn't sold retail, I couldn't try it. I did sample it at our tasting though and was very pleasantly surprised. We are having their chard and their cab. Unless your friends and family are super into wine, no one will really be focusing on it that day. Save yourself some money and stick with the S.C. Besides, no one has ever heard of it.

1. re: spitzj
We were married last month. We ended up springing for some other wines to serve with dinner (Frog's Leap sauvignon blanc and Alamos malbec), but let Salmon Creek get served during cocktail hour. The verdict: Nobody commented on the Salmon Creek, but several friends told us how much they enjoyed the wine at dinner.
So, thanks for all the advice and information. We're happy that we didn't serve the Salmon Creek with dinner, but when it was served nobody really noticed one way or the other.
2. I've had Salmon Creek Merlot on two occasions at a restaurant, and it was excellent (for a house wine)...if it's for a wedding I would recommend it without question.
1. This is undrinkable to those in the know. Those not in the known will taste nothing and think it is good.
It is a huge money maker for restaurants. About a 10 to 15 time markup.
1. I love Salmon Creek Charodonnay and I am not a big fan of that grape Found a wine store in Charlotte that sells it.

1. re: marlenes
I am sure their Chardonnay is a blend of other grapes too and I would imagine no oak treatment and if so oak chips. You should try Columbia Crest Two Vines for a few more dollars. I think you would like it.
2. Last month we got a bottle of Salmon Creek Chard here in Tokyo, and it was around $10 for a bottle (very cheap for here) and we liked it a fair bit. We'd buy it again, or perhaps try other varieties in their line.

1. re: Tripeler
Hi, Tripeler:
On one hand, I won't put down what I haven't tried.
On the other, I just can't get rid of the vision of spawned-out salmon rotting along the Creek's banks.
So I'll take your word for it.
1. re: kaleokahu
Or, if you find a bottle of it, you could actually purchase and drink it. Don't expect greatness -- after all, it is a table wine, and a fairly cheap one at that.
2. It's an old post - but I'm always happy when the house wine is Salmon Creek. There are so many annoying alternate choices and fewer better house wines.
I pay $4 a glass and $12 a bottle in the restaurant.
It's amazing how many house wines actually taste bad.

1. re: marc99
>>> It's amazing how many house wines actually taste bad. <<<
No it's not. House wines are almost always purchased based upon COST, not upon quality. If a restaurant (in the US) actually carries a "house wine," I've always regarded that as a danger signal -- unless, of course, I was the one who sold it to them . . . I often got restaurants to switch from cheap house wine ("and it only costs me 2.4¢ an ounce") to a better, by-the-glass pour ("but this is 17¢") by getting to look at the $$$ profit, rather than the PERCENTAGE profit . . .
>>> I'm always happy when the house wine is Salmon Creek. <<<
Well, that's the first time I ever heard anyone say that. And this is why there is more than one winery on the planet: we all have our own individual tastes.
1. re: zin1953
Well said.
I had a Salmon Creek Sparkling wine that was served at an event and it was undrinkable but the people who slam their wines thought it was fine.
1. re: zin1953
just came across this old post and all i can say is wow! there is a wine for everyone isn't there? when they started to serve Salmon Creek at my wedding (they snuck around my back and started pouring Salmon Creek instead of the wine i upgraded to hoping i wouldn't notice, HA!) i almost cried it was so bad.
honestly not much worse than 2 buck chuck and made similarly since they're both Bronco wines.
1. re: trolley
Subsequent to having the Salmon Creek I described in 2007, I tasted it at various other times such as weddings with the results you describe. However, I returned a couple of years later to that same little restaurant after this thread started and tried another bottle from probably the same case. My wife and I both liked it. I deduce that this wine is wildly inconsistant.
1. re: BN1
i do wonder why it's so inconsistent? although i don't drink two buck chuck anymore i find the same inconsistency with that wine as well. i've emailed my friend who is a winemaker at Hirsch this question in hopes he'll shed some light to my question.
1. re: BN1
From my friend- salmon creek and 2 buck chucks are purchased from distressed sales then poured into big vats and bottled into cheap bottles, hence the inconsistencies.
1. re: trolley
Yes, and your friend would be WRONG. That isn't AT ALL how it's made. Take it from someone who knows the winery, knows the company, and knows the Franzia family personally . . .
1. re: zin1953
Ok, then what are the other ways? He's not in the mass winemaking industry so he could only know part of it. He is now the lead winemaker at Hirsch and held the same position at Flowers.
1. re: trolley
Part of it could be that you misunderstood Ross; or, that he may have not explained it thoroughly; or, that one of you is using terminology improperly . . . but --
Bronco is -- IIRC -- the 4th or 5th largest wine producer in the U.S. They have multiple winery locations (Ceres, Escalon, Napa), and own some 40,000 acres of producing vineyards. They own over four dozen different brands, some of which were created by the Franzias, but most of which were purchased out of bankruptcy (they would purchased the rights to the brand name, and sometimes the inventory, but rarely the winery itself).
Bronco a) makes wine from their own vineyards, b) buys grapes from various vineyards to be crushed, fermented and bottled at their own wineries, AND c) buys bulk wine on the open market. There is nothing "distressed" about the wine they purchase (if there were, they'd be undrinkable, tainted and/or damaged/contaminated, and they'd written off on the 702s and destroyed). Many wineries throughout California -- from the most famous names and highest in quality to names you (and most people) have probably never heard of -- buy and sell wines on the bulk market.
Because of the sheer number of cases sold under the brand names of 2BC, Salmon Creek, and others, there are indeed multiple bottlings for any given wine, with no indication on the labels between the different lots.
Some lots may also be intentionally of higher quality than others as well, depending upon the season -- and that's all I will say on *that* subject.
2. I had my first taste of SC Merlot last night.. I liked it ..in fact I had two glasses while out to dinner...I'm no where near an expert on the subject of wines..i just know if something tastes good to me..if it does, I'll have more...in this case it did, and that is why the second glass....in fact i tried to buy a couple of bottles to take home, but the wine is, as someone posted earlier, sold only to restaurants...

1. re: Saraevans
And THAT, Sara, is the most important thing of all: drink what you like!
1. re: Saraevans
It is not sold only in restaurants. We sell the chard, pinot grigio, pinot noir and cab in a retail store.
1. re: lynnlato
According to the Franzia family, and Bronco Wine Co., it *is* sold only in restaurants.
That said, as you are in North Carolina, the "restaurant only" aspect of this label is quite difficult for the winery to enforce.
1. re: zin1953
Yep, we sell it, lots of it too. I have seen it in other retail stores around here too... not many, but a few.

2019 NORCO Range C2

Impuestos incluidos
La Range Carbon es la bici perfecta para el Enduro actual. Disponible en 27,5" y 29". Ángulo lanzado, increíblemente estable, basculante corto y super rígido. Eficiencia en la subida y una bestia cuando el sendero tira para abajo.
The Range Carbon is the ideal Enduro bike, purpose-built to rip downhill with category-bending capability. Available in 650B and 29er models, the Range features modern Enduro suspension performance and geometry optimized for each wheel size. It climbs efficiently for a big rig, but unleashes its full potential when pointed downhill - delivering confidence-inspiring stability and control for serious speed over technical terrain. Race an Enduro, shred gnarly singletrack with friends, or skip the pedaling and do a few laps of the bike park - the Range Carbon is the ultimate accomplice.
Geo 27.5
Geo 29
Range Carbon Enduro frame
Built with our premium carbon technologies and tested beyond basic industry standards, the Range Carbon frame is strong, lightweight and durable. Featuring size scaled tubing, the frame maintains the same stiffness and ride quality across frame sizes. A carbon front triangle and seat stay and alloy chain stay and link-arm make for a sleek, fast and capable Enduro bike.
Gravity Tune
Suspension design optimized for Enduro purposes
A rearward axle-path and progressive leverage ratio delivers square-edge compliance, mid stroke support and bottom-out resistance for maximum speed and control when the bike is pointed downhill. Rear shocks have an upper trunnion mount to improve small bump compliance and therefore grip while long-travel, single-crown forks provide high-speed stability through rough terrain.
Choice of wheel sizes
Available in 27.5" (XS-XL) and 29" (M-XL), the Range Carbon offers choice without compromise. With a frame design delivering speed, agility, control and a similar ride feel for both wheel sizes, your final choice comes down to riding style, preferred terrain and personal preference.
Frame protection
Yes, Enduro bikes are pedalled to the top, but essentially riders go through multiple DH races over a weekend on the tracks. These bikes are being pushed to the extreme and have to be as reliable and dependable as possible. Strategically placed frame armour under the bottom bracket, on the chain stay and inside the seat stay helps protect the frame from rocks, roots and any trail mishaps.

There are lots of good game watching suggestions the comments! But there's one thing I found very useful to learn as a newbie sports fan, which is: sometimes you will have no idea what just happened. This is ok! It's still fun even if you're not quite sure what just happened/is happening/is about to happen (and sometimes all three at once).
I say this based on my experience of becoming a sporting fan, where I was initially concerned about my ignorance. (Last season I decided to start going to a-league (the Australian professional football/soccer league) games after a lifetime of sporting indifference.) Football is a bit more straightforward than ice hockey and I previously played field hockey, which is a similar sport to football, but still the were (and still are) times where the ref blew his whistle and I had no idea what happened, and at first I was a bit concerned, but then I realised that I was still having fun so what did it matter if I wasn't always on top of things?
I've also been to some of the Australian ice hockey league's games, and even when I've been baffled at what they were doing (I even went to two games by myself and had no-one to ask) it was fun.
The nice thing about sport is that, at its very essence, it is quite simple. The team with more points than the other team wins. Conveniently, they keep track of this for you on the scoreboard, so you can always be up to date on the essential part of the game. The other bits are enjoyable, sure, but even if you don't quite get them all you can always be up with the key happenings.

39:15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
39:17 Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
39:18 What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
39:19 Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
39:20 Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
39:21 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.
39:22 He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.
39:23 The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
39:24 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
39:26 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?
39:27 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?
39:28 She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.
39:29 From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.

LOST finale review
I’m a huge fan of Lost. This is my reaction to the series finale, which I watched on Monday night. I couldn’t watch it on Sunday, so I maintained a news blackout on myself the whole day Monday so the ending wouldn’t be spoiled.
First of all, I have to say that the ending was deeply emotionally satisfying for me. I didn’t feel disappointed or cheated out of anything. After further reflection, I wish some more things would have been answered, but I never expected all the mysteries to be explained.
Here’s what I wrote to some friends right after watching the finale. Forgive the shorthand:
first impressions
the couldn't explain everything, too many details, etc, so went for deeply emotional ending instead. It worked. Very emotionally satisfying if very poignant,
miles can hear the dead's last thoughts
hurley chats up the dead
but it turns out that Desmond's really the one who can connect with the dead, since the whole sideways universe was a waiting room for the dead
in any case, what does reality really mean? What's real? The whole thing was just a TV show, so in some ways, sideways universe just as real.
I liked that it gives us space to imagine what the rest of their lives would have been like in real life (for those who lived):
Jack dies on the Island
Hurley & Ben spend years protecting the island then eventually die
They hopefully send Desmond home to Penny
Kate brings Claire home to Aaron & she raises him
Maybe Kate & Sawyer have a life together, since they both lost their main loves.
Kate says "I missed you so much" to Jack. Maybe means she died an old woman and now remembers it all & missed him her whole life.
Maybe it's not some standard afterlife, but is instead the light on the island. They're all inside the light somehow.
Leaves us a lot of space to create our own stories for the characters.
Upon reflection, yes, there were a lot of dead ends that weren’t cleared up. There were storylines, like the temple, which were a pointless diversion. But that still doesn’t spoil the amazing feeling I had after watching the end. Jack dying on the island, happy to have fulfilled his purpose.
I’ve been reading a lot of reviews and comments about the finale online, and it amazes me how many people don’t get it. So many people seem to think that the ending meant that they all died in the crash initially and the whole story, of all 6 seasons, was some sort of purgatory.
It seems obvious to me that what happened on the island, happened. As Jack says, “What happened, happened.” The only part where they’re all dead is in the sideways universe, only introduced in season 6. If they had all died in the plane crash, why would Christian (Jack’s dad) say (paraphrased – I don’t have a transcript) “some died before you, some long after you”, and, explaining why they created the sideways universe together “the time you spent with each other was the most significant of your lives”. If they all died in the crash, they’d have been strangers. What was significant about sitting in cramped seats and eating crappy food together for a few hours? It obviously means the time on the island.
So all you Lost fans out there – what did you think?
Update May 26, 3:25 pm:
I may keep adding to this post as ideas occur to me, especially ideas about explaining some of the mysteries. Here's the first:
Where did the numbers come from? (4 8 15 16 23 42)
They came from themselves, by way of Hurley. He won the lottery with them. He eventually becomes the new Jacob. Jacob had unexplained powers related to time & space. Hurley subsequently had the same powers. He wove those numbers into the fabric of the past of the island and the people related to it. So the numbers originated with themselves, sort of a mobius strip.

Kettle Plastic Taste Removal
When you first use your new plastic kettle, you may notice a faint taste of plastic in the boiled water. It certainly isn't great, especially when you've spent time and effort in researching the best kettle, and also forked out your hard earned cash. Luckily you have a few options to remove the plastic taste.
Kettle Water Tastes Like Plastic
1. Water. Most kettle manufacturers recommend boiling the kettle before use. They say that you should initially fill the kettle to the top with tap water, boil it up, empty it out completely and rinse it out. This will get rid of any loose plastic particles on the inside. It's cheap and easy too.
2. Bicarbonate of Soda (Baking Soda). If after having boiled just plain water your plastic kettle still has a plastic taste, then you can try the bicarbonate of soda method. Simply fill your kettle to the top with water once again, but this time add two teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda beforehand. This method is by far the most popular and the most effective.
3. Salt Water. As a last resort you can try the salt water method. Fill your kettle to the top with water, add a few teaspoons of salt, boil it up, empty it completely and rinse it. If this fails then you should try the method again a few times. Another option may be to leave the salt water in the kettle for a few days and then empty it out and rinse it.
Hopefully these methods have removed, or at least substantially reduced, your new kettle's plastic taste problem. One final thing I will point out is that not every plastic kettle gives the water it boils a plastic taste. It does happen, particularly with cheap kettles, but it's not a universal problem.

Matthew 18:8-9 (Eternal Fire and the Fiery Hell, Part 2)
How is Gehenna or “the fiery hell” different from Hades or Sheol, the place of the dead? Note: Gehenna was understood to be in Hades (NT Greek) or Sheol (OT Hebrew), where the departed spirits of all men went when their physical bodies died (cf. Num 16:29-33, 1Sa 28:8-19, Isa 14:9-15, Mat 11:23, Act 2:27). However, it was separated by a great chasm from “Abraham’s Bosom” or “Paradise” where the righteous went (Luke 16:22, 23:43). Scripture indicates that Christ “descended into the lower parts of the earth” (Eph 4:9) and when He died He was “three days and three nights” in its heart (Mat 12:40). Peter writes that Jesus was “put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison” (1Pe 3:18-19) and continues that He ascended to heaven “after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him” (1Pe 3:22). In this context Paul quotes Psa 66:18 saying “when He ascended on high, He led captive a host a captives” (Eph 4:8), perhaps to be understood as those saints in the “captivity” of Abraham’s bosom who ascended to be with Him in heaven (cf. Phil 1:21-23, 1Th 4:14, Heb 12:23), as well as those angels and authorities and powers over whom He had triumphed and that had been subjected to Him (cf. 2Co 2:14-16, Col 2:15). Peter also writes that when angels sinned He “cast them into hell and committed them to pits (or chains) of darkness, reserved for judgment” (2Pe 2:4, cf. Luk 8:31, Jude 1:6-7, Rev 9:11, 20:1-3). Hell here is literally Tartarus, the Hellenist term for the Hebrew Gehenna, which “was thought of by the Greeks as a subterranean place lower than Hades where divine punishment was meted out, and so regarded in Israelite apocalyptic as well” (BDAG Greek lexicon). Interestingly, this rare word occurs 2 out of 3 times in the LXX in Job 40 and 41 in the descriptions of the beast Behemoth and the dragon Leviathan. In context, Peter mentions this to demonstrate that “the Lord knows how to … keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment” (2Pe 2:9), indicating both an intermediate and final state of punishment for the wicked after they die (cf. the NIV “the Lord knows how to … hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment”).
Recall now the context of Jesus’ words in Mat 18:8-9 about eternal fire and the Gehenna of fire; to whom were they spoken: Religious or non-religious? Believers or unbelievers? Disciples or non-disciples? In what circumstances were they spoken? See especially Mat 18:6-7. On what other occasion had Jesus already taught about stumbling blocks being gathered up and cast into a “furnace of fire”? See Mat 13:41-42. By what name did Jesus in that context refer to religious pretenders who are sown among the true disciples, but are born of a different seed and do not bear the fruit of righteousness? See Mat 13:24-26. What would be a good name for the furnace of fire into which the tares are cast? Think Tar-tar-us. What is another name for religious pretenders that Matthew records Jesus as repeatedly calling the scribes and Pharisees? See Mat 6:2,5,16, 15:7, 23:13-15,23,25,27-29. In spite of their religious pretense, what did Jesus say would be the sentence (condemnation, punishment, damnation, KJV) of such pretenders? See Mat 23:33, and observe that hell here is Gehenna. Is it only those unbelieving religious pretenders whom Jesus “never knew” (Mat 7:23), who will be sentenced to hell, or perhaps also some believers whom He did know and were even His servants whom He had put in charge of His household to “give them their food at the proper time”? See Mat 24:45-51, and cf. the parallel passage in Luke 12:42-46; cf. also Heb 6:4-6, 10:26-31, 2Pe 2:20-22.
In light of Jesus’ words in Mat 18:6-9 and their context of exalting oneself over others, how serious does God consider causing “little ones” to stumble? In the words of Matthew Henry, should we ever say, “Though they be offended, and grieved, and stumble, what is that to us?” With what seriousness does Jesus say we should avoid stumbling ourselves or causing others to stumble? See again Mat 18:8-9. Christ is of course using hyperbole in these verses, but in what ways did Abraham in a manner of speaking “cut off a hand” in order to avoid stumbling? See Gen 14:21-23. In what way did Moses “pluck out an eye” in order to avoid stumbling? See Heb 11:24-26. In what way did David mortify his flesh to avoid stumbling? See 2Sa 23:13-17. What did Paul say he would do to avoid causing others to stumble? See 1Co 8:13. Should we consider anything too dear to part with in order to avoid stumbling ourselves or causing others to stumble?

Bubblesteen Bubble Machine
Is it a 3D Spherical Atmosphere Encapsulated Phosphorous Printer? YES!
Is it a CNC Anti Gravity transparent Orb Machine! YES!
Its The Bubblesteen Bubble Machine! The spherical miracle that kids and cats have been waiting for. It comes complete with robotic edge detection( when a bubble hits an edge it pops, thus the edge has been detected).
Turn up the sound and watch Lester the cat battle it out with the Bubblesteen!
* No animals were harmed during testing.
This project came about after playing around with pan and tilt using servos. Most of the pan and tilt senereos I saw involved using webcams or some type of camera, which pan and tilt is perfect for. There are some good instructables and how-to's on the web for this very thing.
I may not have an available camera, but I did have some bubble mix :)

Step 1: Things you will need
This list is mostly for the electronic and mechanical stuff. How you create your own Bubblesteen will depend on your creativity and what you have laying around.
I will also include small tips on the materials I used and things to be careful of
1. 1. Arduino Duemilanove $30.00
2. 1 motor shield $19.50 ( * It is made to fit the Duemilanove
3. 2 micro servos- I used Hextronik HXT 500 $3.50 each (
4. 1 DC toy motor- something between 3v and 12v - easy to find, motor shield docs will help you decide if what you may already have will work.
5. 1 thing of bubble mix. - find at CVS or a dollar store. Some work better than others
These things I used, but are not critical. This is where your own creativity will need to come to play.
1. 1 roll of perferated metal tape- any hardware store
2. nuts and bolts of various sizes - thread count not critical :)
3. diamond plate- local scrap yard
4. aluminum channel- local scrap yard
5. 1 threaded rod hanger/ plate
6. earthquake putty or museum wax
7. 5 minute epoxy
8. 1/4" acrylic sheet- about 6" x 6" worth
9. acrylic adhesive
The tools you need will once again depend on what you build yours out of.

What is not to love about yet another frivolous use of a microcontroller? That is my problem with them, I've never found a valid use for one yet. I'm still hoping that someday I will...
belliedroot (author) in reply to pfred22 years ago
Frivolous! ... ok, it probably is. But frivolous sometimes keeps it fun when learning and experimenting.
If I was using microcontrollers while developing a complex anti-locking braking system for Ford (which i'm not), I probably would not make an instructable about it.
pfred2 in reply to belliedroot2 years ago
Probably? You mean you've some doubt? You cause me wonder as to why you wouldn't share a more worthwhile project. We're worlds apart.
bears0 in reply to pfred21 year ago
Why share a companies research? that is how they stay on top. Honda cant tell Ford and Chevrolet how they program their traction control systems because they will just copy them. car companies want something fresh that no one else has. they may tell you the features, but they wont tell you how they designed them.

Non sequitur?

Second video refuses to play. "This video contains content from SME, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds."
belliedroot (author) in reply to thorn2 years ago
Yes, I know. It is another case of Sony being d**ks. The soundtrack was the Rocky theme song. You can see and hear the video from my Youtube channel scroll down a bit. However it is blocked in about 1000 countries, but still plays in the USA and Antartica, but just in the part where the sun don't shine.
mischka says: 2 years ago
Cool, I am loving that machine!
DanDiego says: 3 years ago
It would be fun to build a simpler version of this using one of those drinking birds that dips its beak in water. The bubble wand would be fastened to the bird's head to dip into the bubble solution, and the fan could be triggered by a mechanical switch or light beam.
micobanff says: 3 years ago
That is hilarious and awesome! I would love to try this with a multiple hole bubble stick. If there is a way to slow the fan down, I think it would increase the number of bubbles in each go.
Great job, and love the diamond plate idea.
yoyology says: 3 years ago
There's a few good recipes for making your own bubble solution (along with lots of other bubble lore) at The Bubblesphere.
belliedroot (author) in reply to yoyology3 years ago
Great tip. The dollar store stuff was really weak. The better the bubbles, the better the party.
Mr.NHRA in reply to belliedroot3 years ago
Maybe its just me, but i thought bubbles were made by adding dish soap to tap water until you could blow bubbles with it. :) great instructable!
mikeythev says: 3 years ago
I think I'm in love...
Edgrs says: 3 years ago
It's sooo sweet and funny
Ninzerbean says: 3 years ago
dlfynrdr says: 3 years ago
Dude, you have WAY WAY too much time on your hands!! (I love it by the way)
dlfynrdr in reply to dlfynrdr3 years ago
One other thing, did you use that "catnip bubbles" to make that video? If you'rre not familliar with the stuff, they sell it on amazon.
belliedroot (author) in reply to dlfynrdr3 years ago
Bubble doping, I thought that was banned by The International Olympic Bubble Commitee.
bulsatar says: 3 years ago
The fan may be rotating too fast and blowing the bubble solution out of the surface tension balance. Might want to regulate the amps for about half and you should get more bubbles :)
karossii says: 3 years ago
It would seem to be more efficient (and less messy) if the bubble wand only dipped down and lifted, without the need to rotate...
zascecs in reply to karossii3 years ago
I had the same thought...
belliedroot (author) in reply to karossii3 years ago
Yes, it would. But if you are going to make a silly, over-the-top, expensive, bubble blowing machine, might as well add some extra movement.
Culturedropout in reply to belliedroot3 years ago
There's no laser! How can you expect to have a silly, over-the-top, expensive machine without LAZORS?!!? ;-)
belliedroot (author) in reply to Culturedropout3 years ago
You are absolutely right! I was hoping no one would notice that the laser was missing. I will have to have a talk with the guys in the research and development dept, they have been slacking lately.
heathbar64 in reply to belliedroot3 years ago
this just confirms once again my theory that the more ridiculous and useless an item is, the more fun it is to design and build. The laser would be cool if you could actually illuminate the bubbles with it.
mjcwr14 in reply to belliedroot3 years ago
Make sure its only set to stun
kelseymh in reply to belliedroot3 years ago
No better answer could exist. Bravo!
zanderjones says: 3 years ago
That is beautiful, a true work of art. I can see this sitting quite happily in the Tate Modern.
XOIIO says: 3 years ago
LOL the second video is epic!
nickodemus says: 3 years ago
This is great! And very entertaining also, I'm sure it would make a great center piece for a table. Nice work, keep it up!
kcls says: 3 years ago
Very cool! I like the second video :)

Responsive Web Design vs Mobile-Friendly Web Design
One of the common requests we are getting these days is for responsive website development and that is a good thing because there are great benefits to going with a responsive site. However there is also seems to be a common area of confusion and frequent misconceptions from our clients about responsive and mobile-friendly websites:
So what exactly do "responsive web design" and "mobile-friendly web design" mean?
Responsive Web Design
A responsive website is one that responds based on the user's device that they are viewing the webpage on. Webpages and its contents are automatically adjusted to fit the display of the user's device. Usability is absolutely taken into account and that is why a responsive website is going to look, and function, differently on a desktop, tablet, and mobile phone.
Mobile-Friendly Web Design
A mobile-friendly website is essentially a copy of your website, specifically designed to look and function exactly the same way across different devices. Features like navigation drop-downs are limited, as they can be difficult to use on mobile. The website is literally the same across the board, with no usability concerns regardless of the device on which it is being viewed.
You can achieve a customized mobile experience with responsive design. However, it does require expertise, proper planning, and a alightly larger budget. For Mobile-Friendly website, you can achieve a consistent website experience across all devices with a simplified, mobile-friendly site. These sites may not have crazy features or functionality, but they just work.

world trip
Whether or not you’re taking a niche yr, wanting to get pleasure from some spare time between jobs, or attending to see a number of the sights you’ve at all times questioned at in books, a round-the-world trip is often a journey of a lifetime. A typical night out in town can cost round $50 dollars or extra in a giant city, and since most people go out two nights per week, you possibly can save $four hundred dollars. Shopping for tickets on-line also saves you line ready time. When you select a bigger pack or one which has straps hanging all over, keep in mind to get a light weight stuff sack, like the ones used for sleeping bag storage.
Usually, these tickets permit you to visit one of the 4 theme parks per day. There are additional packages you could add on. Nonetheless for an inexpensive Disney world journey, some of these add-ons are not wanted. Journey brokers can discover all kinds of discount packages on inns, flights, automotive rentals and every thing you need for your journey.
As a travel company, world ventures offers vacations (called “dream trips”) to purchasers. Please note that none of this actually happened to me. A few times individuals tried, however these stories are extra traveler lore than anything. A pack a day smoker would save $210 dollars per 30 days.
These items sack works nice to place your pack in. Once more, it will assist trustworthy people keep sincere in addition to stop your bag from getting chewed up by some automated baggage system, or being ruined if it sits on prime of a dusty, then rainy, then dusty, bus trip.

Budget Travel
It was a dream some years ago, specially for the price. Meals would be the largest draw for a customer to Spain, as it is unsurpassed in abundance in this nation. Many resort lifts (elevators) will barely fit your needs and your baggage in. We solely travelled with one carry-on bag every (critically) and even that was a mission.
Concerning the value, it’s going to rely on the number of continents you go to and the category you need to travel in. Contemplating the economic system class, fares will differ from 3,900 dollars for the three-continents route (2700 euros) to five,300 dollars (3650 euros) for the 6-continents journey, using the non-extended airlines choice.

The summer time trip season is right here and your children have been begging for one factor: a Disney World Vacation Trip! The state of affairs is similar regarding the time allowed to journey, various from 10 days to 1 yr, and so they supply 3 different options depending on your needs, flexibility and pricing. Individuals who keep on Disney World Resorts may participate in “Further Magic Hours.” These are instances when certain theme park points of interest can be found to those who keep on Disney Resorts.
Lastly, (this is best part), with only a few exceptions the stuff you might need-garments, food, provides and providers-are readily available and generally less expensive than in the U.S. Regarding the fares, for a Round the World journey they are going to rely upon the category you need to journey in and the number of miles you do, from 26,000 to 39,000, divided in four levels of pricing.

In case you are serious about taking a visit in the close to future, there are a lot of areas that it is best to contemplate. Stroll previous the couple of hundred folks ready in line to buy their tickets and also you’re in. The worth per day of those tickets get cheaper the more time you spend at Disney World. As one of many high 10 travel destinations on this planet, a go to to Italy completely requires a tasting tour of the country.
People who stay on Disney World Resorts also can take part in “Extra Magic Hours.” These are occasions when sure theme park points of interest are available to those who stay on Disney Resorts.

born into this
born like this
into this
as the chalk faces smile
as Mrs. Death laughs
as political landscapes dissolve
as the oily fish spit out their oily prey
we are
born like this
into this
into hospitals which are so expensive that it's cheaper to die
into lawyers who charge so much it's cheaper to plead guilty
into a country where the jails are full and the madhouses closed
into a place where the masses elevate fools into rich heroes
born into this
walking and living through this
dying because of this
because of this
the fingers reach toward an unresponsive god
the fingers reach for the bottle
the pill
the powder
we are born into this sorrowful deadliness
it will be open and unpunished murder in the streets
it will be guns and roving mobs
land will be useless
food will become a diminishing return
nuclear power will be taken over by the many
explosions will continually shake the earth
radiated men will eat the flesh of radiated men
and there will be the most beautiful silence never heard
born out of that
the sun hidden there
awaiting the next chapter

we sat and waited for the sun and whatever there was to come
let's be green, he said, let's eat lemons, let's make love let's write short stories about our lives in the sea.
i was grey and brown. i was dark and dry.
it's a glorious day, he said, the rain pouring down his smile, thunders growing louder than his voice, lightning burning at his face. let's bathe into the rain and sun and whatever there is to come.
i was cold and old, my face making all the bad grimaces, my eyes staring into the distance, my body feeling like a thousand years old.
let's go out and meet people, let's tell them stories, the stories of our lives, let's answer their questions about life and love and whatever there is to come.
i looked and looked into the distance and saw no one. i looked and looked and there was no one. i looked at him and he was not there. i looked and looked and felt i was alone.
i turned my back to him. i silenced. i closed my eyes and closed my mind. i ran.
it's been a while now.
tonight the rain falls like way back. my thoughts haven't moved. not an inch. they sting and ache and bite at me. i am older now. i am grey and brown. darker. colder. i am quiet. i don't see people and i don't answer their questions. i don't look at them. for them, i don't exist, just as, back then, they seemed to me invisible.
i don't cry and i don't see beneath the rain
Friday, March 05, 2010
you were wrong
today started foggy and dark and fast-paced.
white beautiful building associated with bad feelings.
there's a little green house in front of me, with its little picket fence and a pile of wood for the fire on the side.
waiting for the the day to sun up.

Why would it need read? The acl's should be something like:
access to group
by uid=a read
by uid=b compare
access to other group
by uid=c read
and then in dynlist, I supply a proxy ID that is used internally to do the comparisons to generate the membership. Then only that proxy ID needs to do any sort of internal lookups. The initial user's credentials are still used with the ACLs to see what, if anything, they can do with the generated information.
Something perhaps like:
overlay dynlist
dynlist-proxyID cn=dynlist
Then in my ACL's as well:
access to dn.subtree="cn=people,dc=stanford,dc=edu" attr=suprivilegegroup
by dn.base="cn=dynlist" compare

Change of pace
martes, 6 de enero de 2015
Niko handed Natasja with an envelope, telling her to read its content and then destroy it. He also gave her an umbrella, saying it was raining a lot in Vladivostok. He finally wished her a nice trip and promised to see her in two months on a plane to Japan, if all went well.
Natasja then boarded the train and looked for her seat. To make things less suspicious, she had bought a seat in a four-seat cabin. Getting to know other passengers and playing cards with them would make her less of a target for people watching, looking for odd behavior.
She found her seat and realized the compartment was still empty so she took the seat by the window and looked at all the faces outside: family members of the travelers, the travelers themselves giving advice about unimportant things, police officers and station guards, providing weak security to the building and even tourists. It wasn’t uncommon to see them, especially in the summer, but people around these parts noticed them always.
Sure enough, a tourist couple sat in front of Natasja and an older woman besides her. About fifteen minutes after her finding her seat, the train began to leave the station. The young woman leaned back, clutching hard on her envelope, thinking this should be her last assignment. She was so fed up with this job, always moving from one point to the next, never really having a place to call home or someone to actually care for her.
The older woman pointed something through the window and the tourists smiled and talked to her. Natasja then remembered she had to do exactly the same, blending in and trying not to look too strange among the fairly common passengers of the train.
She proposed a game of card, which they all eagerly joined. They played for well over an hour, laughing and learning each other’s name.
The couple was composed of Marisa and Tommen. She was French and he was German. They had boarded the Trans-Siberian in order to get to Lake Baikal, a place they had always wanted to visit because of its landscape and fishing possibilities. Every couple of minutes, they would say something about a fish or some sea creature they had captured while fishing. They could get annoying if Natasja or the older lady didn’t change the subject.
The older lady’s name was Katya. She had been visiting a sister in Moscow for a month or so but now she needed to go back to her home in Irkutsk. When asked why she lived in such a harsh city, especially during winter, she answered her father had been one of the first colonists to exploit oil in the region, by settling near the city. And she had always loved it there so there was no way she would leave, even if her old bones couldn’t cope with the cold as well as they did before.
Natasja introduced herself and told her cabin companions that she had been attending a specialist in Moscow. When asked if she was sick, she answered she had been attending chemotherapy, because of an odd tumor the doctors had found in her lungs. She had lived in Moscow for the time being but now that she had being deemed healthy enough, she had decided to travel to her family in Vladivostok.
She learned the story so well; she had started believing in it. She even gave precise details about the procedure, her family at the end of the line, her house and a dog named Flo, who she claimed was waiting for her in the Vladivostok train station.
But the truth was far from that nice story, which had nothing to do with her. After playing for some more, Natasja excused herself and told everyone she had to go to the ladies room and to get a drink of water. She even asked everyone if they need something: Katya asked her to buy a water bottle to drink her pills with. She agreed and exited the compartment calmly.
Outside, however, she was impatient. She had to get to the nearest bathroom and read the documents Niko had given her in the station. No one, or so she thought, had seen her come out of the cabin with the envelope. She walked for a while until she found the restaurant wagon. There, she asked for a bathroom, which she found easily.
In there, she read all the papers. They were only two, detailing what she had to guard so carefully and instructions about what to do if the object in her possession became lost or was destroyed. This last thing was preferable than see it taken by someone else. In any case, it was imperative she got it safe to the Pacific and gave it to another person in the train station, at her arrival.
When she finished reading, Natasja soaked the papers in the toilet and then saw the ink falling, as it was made of some strange liquid. After a couple of minutes, all the letters had “melted” from the two sheets of paper. She threw the two empty papers into a trash bin and then came out of the bathroom. An annoyed tall woman was waiting outside. Natasja excused herself but the woman didn’t even care.
She went back to the restaurant wagon and bought the water bottle for Katya who was very happy to see it when Natasja got back to the cabin. They were all fed up with cards so they just started talking until they all fell asleep. The first day of seven had finished.
The next two days were all the same: playing cards and seating all together for breakfast and lunch. Natasja excused herself from eating dinner, as she had never really liked to eat at night. Her body never responded kindly so she preferred to stay in the cabin and read one of the books a kind lady rented every passenger for a couple of pennies.
The truth was that Natasja didn’t want to get too far from the cabin. The object was there, and it would be madness to leave it alone but also to take her with her everywhere. It would make her too suspicious and, somehow, she knew someone watched her everyday.
She felt it first during lunch in the second day, when she stared a little bit too long at the window and suddenly she felt everyone in the restaurant was looking at her. She was probably being paranoid but it was better to be paranoid than not to be careful.
Sure enough, her cabin companions had asked about her papers and she suddenly faked she had no idea where they were. They even called one of the train’s guards to help them look for the envelope but it was all in vane, of course. Natasja told her new friends they were only the results of the last blood test, affirming she was now well and free of any cancer cells. She just wanted her parents to see it, to make them happy.
This, somehow, made Natasja the subject of unwanted attention all over the train. She couldn’t go the to panoramic wagon or to the restaurant without people telling her how brave she was and how young and beautiful they thought she was. The young woman started having a problem with it, because some people even broke in tears and confessed they had suffered from cancer too. After all she was human and it was disheartening to see people open like that, for no real reason.
On the fourth day, at night, the train arrived in Irkutsk. So she had to say goodbye to her cabin companions. They even hugged and Katya shed a tear, handing Natasja a bottle of lemon juice she had bought in the restaurant. She said it was good for the cells and that it was the only thing she could have bought as a present. That little present made Natasja actually happy, as friends were not easy to be found, not for her at least.
They all exchanged phone numbers and then parted ways. The next day, just one more day or so to her final destination, Natasja went alone to lunch and thought of her life. She had never known a real family, having been abandoned by her parents in an orphanage. From very little she had to fend for herself and there was no space for love or animosity with anyone, not in the streets. When she got older, she was recruited by an intelligence agency from abroad in order to work inside of Russia, dealing with different kinds of jobs.
But she was tired of it. At night, alone in the cabin, she decided that this time it was her time to be herself. Not Natasja, or anyone else but only her. After handing the umbrella to the agent in Vladivostok, she would leave that world of secrecy behind.
When the train finally arrived to the Pacific coast of the Russian Federation, the police found Natasja’s body lying right in the spot she had decided to be free. After thorough investigation, they deemed her death a murder by poison, probably related to a bottle of juice found besides her. She had no possessions with her as nothing was found on the cabin besides the bottle.
Someone extracted the umbrella, just after she had died or fell asleep. But the identity of that person remains a mystery to this day and it’s very likely we will never now who called agent Natasja.

The woods
No one dared take the road through the woods. Although much shorter than the others, people tried to avoid it if possible. It had been built almost a century ago but it was only widely used for a couple of years before the wood grew darker and thicker and much more dangerous.
So an alternative road, by the side of the mountain, was built to avoid the forest. That road had a lot of curves, cliffs, and almost doubled the other one in length. It wasn't uncommon that, on a harsh winter or on rainy days, the door got blocked by mud and rocks falling from the mountain. The two towns would then be disconnected and all trade or travels between the two had to be postponed.
On one of those bad days, Sammy, a young woman looking forward visiting her family in the other town, got with her car to the mountain road but soon realized it had been blocked by big boulders. She went back home and , sadly, sat by the television set and thought of her family.
It was going to be a surprise visit but now it couldn't be done. Although... She went to her studio and grabbed a map of the region. The map marked the mountain road as a primary road. Meanwhile, the one in the woods had only a few segments drawn as people had no idea of its current state.
Sammy knew the road wasn't good for cars, only for small vehicles, motorcycles or pedestrians. But none dared enter the woods. What she noticed was that if she got out in the middle of the day, she could get across the woods in less than 3 hours. The journey normally took seven hours and that was not an option now.
So the next day she decided to dress properly for a hard walk and got to the point where the woods started. It wasn't strange no one was around as she begin, walking by the old road, covered in dead leaves and puddles of mud.
With her she only had a backpack with clothes and food, her cellphone and the map folded inside. That was it. She wore hiking boots and a thick jacket and thermal pants. It had stopped raining in the morning but she knew she had to walk fast in order to get there soon.
The first hour was incredible easy. The road was plain and almost no rocks or trees where lying across it. She could almost imagine the old carriages and horses going through the woods.
However, the place was really creepy. She knew it was around midday, but the son could almost not be seen. The foliage was thick and the trees had grown in all sorts of shapes. Almost no flowers grew there and she heard no animals in the vicinity.
When half of the walking was done, she realized the road ended and two different paths began from there. At that point she got her map out and spread it on the ground. It was hard to make a choice but she thought the best option was the clearer path, the one in the left. The map seemed to confirm it. So she began to walk again.
After just a half hour, she was walking through trees. The path had finished a few steps ago and now she only saw thin trees with big treetops. She felt lost but knew that the only option was walking in a straight line. The forest had to end at some point and it was likely the town was not far from there.
But when she started walking a cracking sound stopped her. She gazed around but so nothing. As she but one foot in front of the other, the cracking sound came back. And again and again. So she turned around.
Nothing. She decided to walk faster. After a few minutes she arrived in a clearing and there was a cottage there, the kind a lumberjack makes. Now Sammy was petrified. No one had gone to the woods in almost a hundred years so why was there a house in the middle of it?
She was very curious about it but decided not to investigate further. She continued to walk but now she heard as if someone tap a window. She turned and so no one there.
Now she was almost running. Sammy was not an athlete so her feet where killing her already but she knew she had no time to waste.
After a while, the trees began to feel more and more separated and she could see the sun, pale and cold but bright enough to make her feel safe. She decided the town could not be very far so she walked with a smile towards the edge of the forest but then rain started falling. As if someone was pouring buckets and buckets of it.
Then the cracking sound again and, in the middle of the downpour, Sammy felt someone touched her shoulder. She screamed and ran for her life. She only stopped when she felt the day had gotten brighter.
She removed the hoodie of her jacket and realized the rain had stopped and that she had arrived at her destination. She could see the tree line. Sammy was on a hill and from there one could see the town. She smiled but then she heard a laugh and turned instinctively.
There, by the nearest tree, there was a small boy. He only smiled and waved at her. And Sammy waved at him. He turned his back to her and she did the same and each one parted.
Sammy got to her family's house but did not share the story with them. She invented some lie and kept the strange smile of the kid in the woods for herself.

Employee Engagement- I
Employee Engagement and Elephant…
Employee Engagement is viewed always an isolated activity.
Different people have different perception about Employee Engagement. To elaborate this I would like to refer the six blind men and elephant story..
There were six blind men in a village. One day the villagers told them, "Hey, there is an elephant in the village today."
They had no idea what an elephant is. They decided, "Even though we would not be able to see it, let us go and feel it anyway." All of them went where the elephant was. Every one of them touched the elephant.
"Oh, how big elephant is? The elephant is a pillar," said the first man who touched his leg.
"Oh, no! it is like a rope," said the second man who touched the tail.
"Oh, no! it is like a thick branch of a tree," said the third man who touched the trunk of the elephant.
"It is like a big hand fan" said the fourth man who touched the ear of the elephant.
"It is like a huge wall," said the fifth man who touched the belly of the elephant.
"It is like a solid pipe," Said the sixth man who touched the tusk of the elephant.
They began to argue about the elephant and every one of them insisted that he was right. It looked like they were getting agitated. One wise man saw their argument.
He asked them, "What is the matter?"
They said, "We cannot agree to what the elephant is like." Each one of them told what he thought the elephant was like. The wise man calmly explained to them, "All of you are right. The reason every one of you is telling it differently because each one of you touched the different part of the elephant. So, actually the elephant has all those features what you all said."
"Oh!" everyone said. There was no more fight. They felt happy that they were all right.
Employee Engagement is viewed like the Elephant described in the story.
How they view Employee Engagement?
Employee Engagement is keeping employees engaged by fun activities and some companies have “Chief Fun Officer.” They do all fun activities in the organization and try to engage employees(?). They celebrate birthdays, fun activities, different days and so on. Still these companies have attrition.
Employee Engagement means organizing events for employees.
Somebody view Employee Engagement means introducing some rewards schemes and giving certificates and cards.
Some organizations go at home of employees on certain occasions. Some organizations try to get the involvement of families in certain activities.
And still, employees are not engaged….
Companies celebrate birthdays, but ignore how the manager is treating to employees. They organize fun activities, but ignore the feedback on the performance of an employee. Managers view it as HR job and HR just see towards it as one of the KPI. The problem is all these activities are viewed as events and not the process. We forget that these are lag activities. HR professionals themselves view Employee Engagement as just organizing some activities and events for employees.
Time has come to change our views and view Employee Engagement as whole package for employees. Let’s see it differently…

Lawyers need law: judicial federalism, state courts, and lawyers in search and seizure cases.
Author:Price, Richard S.
Position:Abstract through V. Research Design, p. 1393-1427
The progress of judicial federalism, the independent interpretation of state constitutions, has generally been limited. This article explores how lawyers have contributed to the development of state constitutional rights law in the search and seizure context. Through a comparative study of lawyers in New York, Ohio, Oregon, and Washington, I argue that the ideational support provided by lawyers in the form of constitutional arguments has varied widely across the states in response to the legal signals sent by their high courts and the United States Supreme Court. In essence, the argument is that lawyers need law and in the area of judicial federalism have largely waited for their state courts to provide some measure of leadership.
Judicial federalism--the interpretation of state constitutional texts independently of federal doctrine--has been a source of commentary and action since the 1970s. Then Professor Hans Linde argued that judicial federalism was a requirement of standard rules of adjudication and legal argumentation. Linde argued that "[t]he logic of constitutional law demands that nonconstitutional issues be disposed of first, state constitutional issues second, and federal constitutional issues last." (1) As federal jurisdiction depends upon the state depriving a person of some interest, and given that courts are a constitutive element of the state, a state court decision that some action violated state law eliminates the need for federal review: "By the action of the state court under the state constitution, the state has accorded the claimant the due process and equal protection commanded by the fourteenth amendment, not denied it." (2) State and federal constitutional claims, therefore, "are not cumulative but alternative," (3) and "[c]laims raised under the state constitution should always be dealt with and disposed of before reaching a fourteenth amendment claim of deprivation of due process or equal protection." (4) This primacy approach "obliges counsel and court to give independent professional attention to the text, history, and function of state constitutional provisions," rather than simply borrow concepts and doctrines wholesale from federal doctrine. (5)
While Linde's call came in 1970, it took further federal developments to put judicial federalism forward as a serious jurisprudential approach because judicial federalism is inextricably linked to developments in federal constitutional politics. Political struggles to influence the U.S. Supreme Court led to the push for increased state constitutional activism. (6) The Warren Court represented a dramatic expansion of judicial power in the service of liberal policy goals actively supported by Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. (7) The Warren Court expanded protections in a diverse set of areas such as criminal procedure, free speech, and religious freedom through the application of nearly the entire Bill of Rights to the states. (8) This liberal activism in turn elicited a conservative backlash; Richard Nixon's 1968 campaign focused heavily on a criticism of the Warren Court as being too friendly to criminals in particular and promising to appoint more conservative justices to correct this tendency. (9) While a common view of Nixon's Court was one of a failed counterrevolution, (10) this ignores the limited goals that Nixon expressed. On the issues that Nixon cared the most about, criminal rights and desegregation, the Court delivered much of what he hoped for, successes that were built upon by Reagan's more expansive attack on the liberal legacy. (11) The Court never completely delivered on the goal of conservative activists to reverse the Warren Court's legacy, but the sustained opposition led to a Court that maintained some liberal rights while severely constraining others and then turned the Court's activist power to the protection of conservative rights claims. (12) This rights retrenchment, however, was open to contestation from below because the rules of American federalism allow for divergent constitutional rights doctrines through state constitutions. Long standing federal doctrine recognized that the U.S. Supreme Court lacked constitutional authority to review determinations of independent state law. (13)
The increasingly conservative trend of federal rights jurisprudence in the 1970s and 1980s led more advocates to push for a turn to state law as a way to sidestep or evade federal rights retrenchment. Justice William Brennan made the highest profile call for judicial federalism (14) by instructing liberal lawyers dismayed over the increasing conservatism of his own Court to remember federalism: "Federalism need not be a mean-spirited doctrine that serves only to limit the scope of human liberty"; instead, "one of the strengths of our federal system is that it provides a double source of protection for the rights of our citizens." (15) He admonished both lawyers and state courts that federal law is not dispositive on the meaning of state constitutional provisions and should be followed "only if they are found to be logically persuasive and well-reasoned, paying due regard to precedent and the policies underlying specific constitutional guarantees." (16) While Brennan's argument disclaimed any preference for particular results, this was a transparent denial when read against his jurisprudence, which did not show great support for federalism; his message was that "state courts should vindicate personal liberties along the lines undertaken by the Warren Court by reading their state constitutions expansively and should justify their actions by referring to the 'neutral' principle of federalism." (17) Brennan's theory then amounts to an instrumental one: state courts should utilize their constitutions to evade federal retrenchment.
All this attention to judicial federalism seemed to augur a revolution in state constitutional law, with courts embracing their state constitutional rights provisions as sources of true, independent constitutional law. Studies of case outcomes and legal reasoning, however, demonstrate that federal law generally remained dominant in rights disputes. A study of six state high courts in 1975 found that approximately 19% of all constitutional issues, not simply limited to rights issues, were resolved on state law grounds. (18) A broader study of all equal protection cases from all state supreme courts between 1975 and 1984 found that equal protection was particularly dominated by federal law, with only 6.7% relying on state law alone to reach the court's decision. (19) A study of self-incrimination cases from all state high courts from 1981 to 1986 found that 22% rested solely on state law but there was significant variation between states, with fourteen states never relying on state law and eight states relying on state law in at least half of the cases. (20) Emmert and Traut examined all instances of facial challenges to state statutes between 1981 and 1985, finding that state-only grounds were relatively rare for invalidations. (21) More impressionistic studies of small-issue areas or only a few courts have similarly found that while judicial federalism may have increased in frequency in the 1980s, the "area continue[d] to be largely reactive." (22) Another study of criminal procedure and First Amendment rights-parallels found that in a third of cases the state court adopted a broader rule; two of the three most common areas of expansion were in search and seizure and free exercise claims, both responding to federal retrenchment, but jury trial claims were similarly frequent and cannot be explained solely with reference to federal law. (23) The picture of case outcomes demonstrates that judicial federalism is the exception rather than the rule, but that judicial federalism varies by issue area and, in some studies at least, the state court studied. Examination of the rationale of opinions similarly demonstrates a tendency to converge federal and state law.
Barry Latzer examined all instances of state constitutional interpretation in criminal procedure cases from the late-1960s to 1989 to gauge the degree of rejection or adoption of federal rights doctrines. (24) Contrary to the view by some that judicial federalism "is of a wholly liberal legal movement" regularly expanding criminal procedural rights, (25) two-thirds of the cases adopted the reasoning of the U.S. Supreme Court. (26) There was considerable variation in the one-third of cases that rejected the federal rule, with the most common area being search and seizure because that is the area of strongest federal retrenchment; where the Burger Court's "Fourth Amendment jurisprudence had clearly been given a pro-police cast." (27) Only four state high courts (Alaska, California, Florida, and Massachusetts) regularly expanded state constitutional protections. (28) Cauthen utilized Latzer's case samples for twenty five state high courts and extended the data through 1994, finding that while the aggregate degree of expansion was consistent with Latzer's original finding, there was substantial variation over time. (29) In the 1970s, the degree of expansionism was actually quite high but was concentrated in a handful of prominent decisions from only a few early adopters of active judicial federalism. (30) In the 1980s, as state constitutional issues spread to more states, the rate of expansive decisions dropped off. (31) But in the 1990s, an increasing trend of expansion emerged. (32)
In a prominent critique of judicial federalism, Gardner examined all constitutional cases decided by seven state high courts in 1990. (33) By looking at all constitutional disputes, Gardner's analysis avoided a narrow focus on areas where judicial federalism was more likely than not and illuminated the constitutional discourse used by state supreme courts. Rather than being a source of truly independent law as pictured by some theorists...

Give employees a better virtual desktop experience
Power productivity with high definition technology
It doesn’t matter where they work or what they’re trying to accomplish: Employees want the same end user experience at work that they’ve come to expect elsewhere. Unfortunately, many feel their companies have a long way to go. More than a third of workers worldwide say their jobs are harder than they should be because of outdated technology, and an overwhelming majority wish their workplace technology performed more like their personal technology1. When it comes to virtual apps and desktops, this is an issue that’s particularly difficult to overcome. With work expanding to more environments—even on-site employees work away from desks 50-60% of the time2 —the need to power productivity from anywhere, at any time, is more acute than ever. With high definition experience (HDX) technology powering Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, it’s easier than ever to provide a seamless experience.
Increase employee satisfaction
Employees expect a lot from their virtual apps and desktops—with good reason. Marketers, designers, engineers and other teams regularly rely on graphics-intensive apps, and they need their technology to work seamlessly. But too often, sluggish application responsiveness and long load times interrupt pockets of productivity, making it difficult to get work done. Citrix HDX technology ensures employees will have the best possible experience whether they’re on local networks, mobile networks or high-latency wide-area networks. Cutting-edge display techniques adjust in real time to account for changing network conditions and provide consistently rich graphics.
Collaborate across continents
The changing nature of work means today's teams are collaborating across a wide array of locations. Remote work has increased 159% since 2005,3 and an estimated 40% of employees in the US are now independent contractors4. That means employees often need to access company apps and data on unreliable internet connections. Citrix HDX technology is engineered to deliver a highly responsive and visually engaging experience on any device, even in the most challenging network conditions. Sessions stay interactive thousands of miles away from the data center, making for crystal-clear apps, voice and video. Whether they’re collaborating across time zones or working in the field, offshore employees and contractors alike can rest assured they’ll have pixel-perfect renderings of their most graphics-intensive apps—at all times.
Protect your bottom line
With increasing shares of IT spending going toward infrastructure and cybersecurity5, you need a way to enhance the employee experience—without breaking the bank. Thankfully, high definition doesn’t have to mean high cost. By creating a seamless experience with graphics-intense apps and desktops on low-cost endpoints, you can meet the needs of employees while staying well within your budget goals. And because Citrix has longstanding partnerships with leading vendors such as Cisco and Microsoft, collaborating with Microsoft Teams and other unified communication platforms can be both highly effective and exceptionally economical.
Today’s workforce offers a unique combination of dynamic new energy and decades of institutional knowledge—but it can also present new challenges.

Albert Heinrich, designated Cyborg 004, is one of the nine protagonists of the 2001 anime Cyborg 009: The Cyborg Soldier.
Originally a young man from Eastern Germany, he tried to illegally smuggle his fiance, Hilda, out of the country so they could marry, but the mission ended disastrously when Hilda died in the process.
Albert literally defines the term "living weapon", as his entire body was installed with deadly weapons of all kinds - including a machine gun in his right hand, a cutting knife in his left, and missile launchers as his legs.
Albert Heinrich appears to be at least in his thirties, making him the oldest of the cyborgs due to the forty years spent in cryogenic sleep. He has light gray, "page boy"-style hair and light gray eyes with no discernible pupils or irises (it may be a stylization choice rather than blindness, as Albert can see perfectly fine). He is most often seen frowning, though sometimes he is seen smiling as well, though usually with a smirk.
He usually wears a red, double breasted military uniform worn by the 00 Cyborgs, with padded shoulders and black arm bands just beneath them. On his waist is a black belt with a holster for his weapon, a gun with three shooting modes.
However, when he first started out as a Black Ghost cyborg in the early 1960's, his uniform was dark green and had a red scarf. Other than those details, the 1960's uniforms remained similar in the design to the later ones that were designed for the second generation of prototypes.
Albert's cybernetic body and machine gun hand
In the three-part OVA "Conclusion: GOD'S WAR", the Albert of that timeline wears a deep blue version of the uniform, and also bears a red scarf.
Albert's physical body has broad shoulders and a structure mimicking a somewhat muscular build. However, out of the nine 00 Cyborgs, his body most resembles that of a robot rather than the human body it once was. This is due to gaining extensive injuries from the botched escape from East Germany, where his truck exploded after crashing into a ditch.
Albert is a grim and rather thoughtful man. The death of his beloved fiance Hilda and the pain he suffered at the hands of Black Ghost has left him somewhat cynical and jaded. His experiences also left him philosophical as well, musing over the state of the world and the human condition. Unlike his more bitter and battle-thirsty personality as depicted in the original manga, Albert is shown to be more calm and calculated in his actions, taking care to put some strategy in everything he does. However, despite his often stoic demeanor, once enraged he is a terrifying sight to behold, with his extensive cyborg modifications and deadly weapons arsenal making Albert extremely dangerous.
Albert has a very warm connection to the other 00 Cyborgs, who have essentially become his second family. He tends to serve as a big brother figure for the 00 Cyborgs, giving much needed advice especially to the younger cyborgs such as Joe and Francoise. He shares a very strong love-hate relationship with Jet, whose youthful rebelliousness tends to grate with the older 00 Cyborgs. While they tend to argue frequently, they are otherwise very close and won't hesitate to defend each other when the time arises.
Like the other 00 Cyborgs, Albert harbors hatred for the Black Ghost organization, who was responsible for his cybernetic transformation. He is deeply suspicious of anyone related to Black Ghost, since every place is full of secret agents out to get them; at one point, he accused Vena of being connected to Black Ghost, due to her and her sisters' alliance with Van Vogt, a member of the organization. After Vena betrayed Van Vogt, Albert grew to trust her, which made her death at Van Vogt's hands all the more devastating for him.
Albert was born in Germany in the 1930s, and had to live through both WWII and the division of the country. At some point in his life, he was betrothed to a woman named Hilda. However, due to the oppressive environment of their home country, they conspired to leave so they can raise a family without having to live with the harsh restrictions and laws.
The plan was to travel over the Berlin Wall through truck, with Albert posing as a truck driver by using a forged identity card. Hilda would secretly ride in the back of the truck to avoid detection. However, the plan failed when a Berlin Wall guard noticed that Albert's ID card was fake. In a panic, he sped through the gates, prompting the patrolling guards to open fire on the truck. The couple later crashed into a ditch, with both sporting severe injuries. As she died from her wounds, Hilda asked her bethrothed if they reached their destination. Albert was unable to answer her and spent the next several minutes screaming Hilda's name, tearfully cradling her body in his arms.
Shortly after the crash, he was kidnapped by Black Ghost, who proceeded to turn him into a cyborg. Due to Albert flat-lining on the operating table and several of his organs being damaged from the crash, the Black Ghost agents were forced to convert and replace parts of him with weapons. One of those agents was Dr. Gilmore, a scientist specializing in cybernetics. The extensive operations turned Albert into a cyborg with barely any organic parts left, though his brain and nervous system were in the best condition to be salvaged.
During the initial test runs, Albert suffered extreme pain from his modifications, which combined with grief over Hilda's death caused him to develop suicidal tendencies. In one particular test run, he met Jet Link and Francoise Arnoul, who were also turned into cyborgs before him. Under the telepathic guidance of the first 00 Cyborg, Ivan Whisky, they conspired to escape from their prison. However, the team met with technical difficulties, with Albert unable to continue after using the missile launchers installed in his legs for the first time.
The initial flaws in the 00 Cyborgs' systems resulted in them being put in cryogenic sleep for forty years until new technology and medical procedures were developed. It wasn't until a second generation arrived that Albert and the others were operated on again, and he felt even further apart from his humanity (as depicted in a flashback in "Man or Machine?"). By the time Joe Shimamura was converted, the 00 Cyborg series was nearly complete. But before Black Ghost could use them for warfare, the 00 Cyborgs rebelled and escaped with the help of Ivan and Dr. Gilmore, who had been working against Black Ghost from the beginning.
Out of the nine 00 Cyborgs, Albert's body has been modified the most, to the point that it no longer resembles the flesh and blood his body was once made of. Due to the wounds he received from the truck accident, most of his body parts have been replaced with deadly weapons. In the episode "Satan of the Deep Sea", he is not as affected by jellyfish venom and comments that it's due to him not having many organics left.
His left hand hides an automatic electromagnetic knife that can cut through any material, while his right hand is converted into a personal machine gun that he can operate at will. When not in use, Albert hides his right hand with a glove made of synthetic skin to avoid identification and curious onlookers, or conceals both hands with gloves.
His lower legs have been turned into metallic cylinders that shoot anti-air missiles whenever he bends his knees. Initially causing him great pain when he does so, the technology developed in the present day allowed Albert to operate his missile launchers without physical problems.
In the three-part OVA "Conclusion: GOD'S WAR", after his powers were enhanced by Ivan, the Albert of that timeline gains the ability to shoot energy bullets that home in on a chosen target, causing them to explode when hit.
• Joe Shimamura (009) - Joe and Albert seem to carry a rather strong relationship. When Joe first joined the rebel cyborgs Albert had a very calm and friendly personality towards him, during the second episode Albert was shown to be kind as they fought off the enemies and even joking to make Joe feel at ease. Several times both have been shown to understand one another rather well. When 0013 made his first appearance Joe had been rather determined to reason with 0013 much to Jet's frustration, stating "Joe was going to put everyone in danger." Albert knew better than that, and brought it upon himself to comfort Joe. Although the 2 have fought before they have remained good friends. During episode 30 when Albert expressed his hate for the Sphinx and took it upon himself to leave, Joe followed after him to check on him. Albert told him how he felt about machines, and how he hated being a machine, as Albert went on Joe simply stood their and listened to Albert frustration. Many times Albert has been shown to worry for Joe safety as he does to anyone else, but he seems to do it more with Joe as he is newer to the group. Albert also seems to have a strong understanding to Joe being a little down in the second episode. Their relationship could be questioned basing off the manga version of Cyborg 009, during one scene Albert had stated "Remind me to kiss that man" referring to Joe. Although it could have been a simple joke form Albert, he never seemed to come back to that statement, leaving their relationship at a questioning point.
• Jet Link (002) - Jet and Albert have a rather strong, albeit vitriolic friendship. As members of the first-generation 00 cyborgs, their relationship ran much farther than the relationship they shared with the second-generation cyborgs. But due to their age difference and personalities, they butt heads a lot, with Jet's hotheaded abrasiveness clashing with Albert's cynical yet thoughtful maturity. During the fifth episode, Albert was willing to sympathize with the Black Ghost cyborg 0011 due to both being torn away from their loved ones, but Jet, whose hatred for Black Ghost ran deep, tried to shoot 0011 while the cyborg was distracted but Albert intervened. Despite their conflicts, they have been seen working as a team many times, with Albert sometimes acting as a surrogate older brother or father.
• Francoise Arnoul (003) - Although they are on the same team, Albert and Francoise seem to have a very weak relationship as they don't interact with each other much on screen. However, Albert is always willing to be a source of comfort for Francoise whenever she needed it. When Francoise was going through an emotional crisis over not being able to help her fellow 00 cyborgs as she'd like to, Albert asked her if she was willing to become a machine like him. In the episode When You Wish Upon a Shooting Star...., Albert comforted Francoise as they watched Jet and Joe burn to death during their reentry into Earth's atmosphere. Albert was also willing to obey Francoise's orders to stop upsetting Dr. Ackerman with his derisive mocking of the Sphinx computer in Computopia. Meanwhile, in episode The Assassin of Flash, Francoise expressed worry for Albert after he was gravely injured by 0010+, and went to his side to aid him. As first-generation 00 cyborgs, Albert and Francoise have known each other for a long time, yet aside from those small interactions the two don't have a strong relationship to Albert like Joe and Jet do.
• Dr. Gilmore - Albert regards Gilmore as something similar to a mentor and looks to him for support and guidance. At first he distrusted him due to Gilmore formerly working with Black Ghost, but once the old man revealed his true colors, Albert warmed up to Gilmore.
• During the production of "Cyborg 009: The Cyborg Soldier", Jet's easy-going and laid-back personality in the original manga was given to Albert, resulting in Jet becoming more hostile and aggressive in the 2001 anime.
• On the same vein, Albert's bitter, ruthless, and sour personality in the original manga was toned down considerably in the 2001 anime to make the character more kid-friendly.
• Albert's mentioning of holding a nuclear bomb inside his body in the manga's Mythos arc is removed in the 2001 anime. The Hobby Link Japan and TV Tokyo character settings originally referenced him having the bomb, but by the time of "Gilmore's Notes", no such bomb was visible in his weapons description.
• While the 2000 visual development trailer had Albert's home country as "Former West Germany" (see Gallery), due to a deduction made by the Ishinomori historian Junichi Fukuda (see "Notes" on the manga version of the character), Shinsuke Onishi opted to throw out the assumption and revert Albert to being born of East Germany.
• Though he is not initially shown with visible injuries in "Tears of Steel", a flashback clip shown in "Gilmore's Notes" depicts Albert with five gunshot wounds to his back, perhaps to provide more of a visual for how severe his condition was after the accident.

The Earth-grazing meteoroid of 13 October 1990 entered the atmosphere
above Czechoslovakia and Poland and, after 9.8 seconds, returned to
space. Named EN131090, the 44-kilogram (97 lb) meteoroid was observed
travelling 409 kilometres (254 mi) at a speed of 42 km/s (26 mi/s) by
cameras of the European Fireball Network. Its apparent magnitude peaked
at −6.3, several times brighter than Venus's peak magnitude.
Observations of such events are quite rare; this was the second recorded
by scientific astronomical instruments (after the 1972 Great Daylight
Fireball) and the first recorded from two distant positions, which
enabled the calculation of several of its orbital characteristics. The
encounter with Earth significantly changed its orbit and, to a smaller
extent, some of its physical properties, including its mass and the
structure of its upper layer. If the meteoroid had reached the lower
atmosphere, it would have overheated and exploded high above the ground,
leaving at most a few small meteorites that posed no danger to the
Earth's surface.

I Apologize For Your Negative Hotel Experience, by Jon Wolper
Dear Ms. Winters,
Thank you for your letter. Hopefully I can help resolve some of the issues you experienced while staying at our hotel.
As you wrote, your troubles began at night, when you found that our ice machine was empty. Our apologies. We try to run a tight ship, but sometimes things fall through the cracks. I promise to be more vigilant about the ice machine in the future.
After you went back to your room, you began to hear incessant banging coming from the walls and ceiling. Our building is very old, and the walls are thin, so the noises made by other guests were heard clearly. [...]
