How to Know You’re Not an Addict. Or: Eating Disorders Versus Alcoholism and Addiction: The Ultimate Recovery Battle.
If you are addicted to alcohol, you have to abstain. Not one sip can cross your lips, they say. Alcohol is unnecessary and unhealthy anyways and for someone with the character makeup of addiction (addiction, like any other mental illness, is one big part genes and another part personality and the unfolding of one’s life circumstance), you just have to abstain, that is the only way.
But someone with anorexia has to pick it up throughout the day, every single day.
So while, with time, an alcoholic may get some benefit of habit and a small rewiring of their brain to understand that alcohol is a daily no, someone with anorexia has to struggle daily to find a balance with their drug of choice. Because they have to pick up, but they can’t pick up too much and go to the other extreme (very common for people with anorexia to veer into binge eating, bulimia or over-eating). They have to face their addiction day in and day out — not just the emotions and unsaid parts that compose their disorder in the first place, but the actual substance.
Wait — you may be thinking, an alcoholic drinks alcohol and an anorexic abstains from food — so the reverse, an alcoholic abstaining and an anorexic eating and drinking… that’s good, no?
The thing is, it’s not so simple. Because while alcohol may be the high for an alcoholic, there are many sources of high for an anorexic. One may come from starving, but another, and bigger high, comes from allowing oneself to eat in neat and measured calculations.
If you think of anorexia as an addiction to alcohol (aka, food) that the anorexic is trying to recover from, if you think that an anorexic sees their addiction as so strong that they have to divide and calculate and over-mediate, in order to heal themselves and self-soothe, then, congratulations, you’re understanding of anorexia has passed the layman’s realm.
Anorexia is a fear and addiction to food (— and the meaning of food) that freaks the anorexic out so much that they begin mass, self-inflected substance control — the addiction is to the substance of food, but the good and therapeutic feelings (the drunk) comes from the tiny, measured calculations of dolling out their food for the day.
When an alcoholic begins to recover, they have to stop drinking. When an anorexic starts to recover, they have to learn to do the same thing they have been doing all along — deciding and then following through with what they are going to eat — only this time, they have to do it in a healthy manner. Even though, you know, we could seriously question if any of the normally walking, talking and avoiding of life’s bigger threats and miseries-people know how to do the whole healthy eating thing right, either.
So the rules are more clear-cut for an alcoholic. They abstain. It’s excruciating and impossible at times, sure, but it’s also a pretty simple rule to follow. Don’t pick it up.
For the anorexic, we have to pick it up in a “balanced” way even though the act of picking it up was our mode of self-inflection and we have to do it all just so healthily, even though we (as in all people) have such a little understanding of what that even means.
Three Americana-sized meals a day with snacks in between is a lot of food for anyone, so says our obesity epidemic. For the anorexic trying to recover, three meals a day with snacks in-between… it’s a very tight rope. Hold tight. | 2019-04-23T23:52:47 | http://bestbodymemoir.com/how-to-know-youre-not-an-addict/ |
It’s your time to have the body you’ve dreamed of and feel more energetic.
I thought this would be a good time to write about something every one can appreciate this time of year—losing weight and having more energy. It’s also a good time to revisit that old New Year’s resolution, “this year I’m going to join a gym, eat better and get in shape” or something along those lines.
Two things have inspired me to write this, the first being that I myself have started my leaning out process for my third season as a National Physique Committee (NPC) figure competitor and, secondly, at Infinity Fitness in Darien (where I personal train and nutrition coach) I’m leading a team of 15 very motivated women in our six-week body transformation competition.
It’s the perfect time of year to recharge that resolution. The weather is great to run, walk or bike outside. Grab your dumbbells and do your weight training in the sun.
Your muscles will feel great while you absorb all that vitamin D. The other great thing about this time of year is that we often eat less and our food choices tend to be healthier. | 2019-04-26T00:29:35 | http://figurefitnesstraining.com/category/fitness-strategy/ |

Revealed after the Hijrah. This chapter has 11 verses.
6. Say: "O ye of Jewry! If ye think that ye are friends to Allah, to the exclusion of (other) men, then express your desire for Death, if ye are truthful!"
8. Say: "The Death from which ye flee will truly overtake you: then will ye be sent back to the Knower of things secret and open: and He will tell you the things that ye did!"
11. But when they see some bargain or some pastime, they disperse headlong to it, and leave thee standing. Say: "That which Allah has is better than any pastime or bargain! and Allah is the Best to provide (for all needs)." | 2019-04-25T12:48:38 | http://quran-english.weebly.com/62-the-assembly-friday-prayer-al-jumuaacute.html |
I have written you a sort of open letter, part essay and part story, instead of a spare announcement of my future plans. I feel that the announcements I have to make merit explanation, and that fifteen years since inaugurating Promethea.org merit a span of reflection also. If you will indulge me in digressions and recollections, I will communicate the background to these announcements in the manner of considerate but unflinching honesty which has delivered me to more answers over the years than any other method of philosophical inquiry. I have constructive steps to relate as well as cessations, and perhaps some commentary of general interest on the recent history of the internet, literature, and more.
In that context, it did not seem to me unachievable for a small movement to snowball using the novel methods of access and communication possible on the internet and succeed by taking remarkable approaches, especially the movement I wanted to found on a well-considered philosophy.
First of all, the internet’s advantages seemed to offer an historic opportunity to change the world, an analogue to contemporaneity with the movable-type printing press—without which coincidence Martin Luther, Philipp Melanchthon, et al. could not have spurred a Reformation (however one judges that outcome).
Thirdly, instant and inexpensive international communication could, in theory, link up individuals capable of spearheading a personal and societal change process. We could find each other for the first time, and work together.
Even before considering the web, I was fired up by a desire to change the world through individualism, free thought, and liberty, and I’d committed myself to the mission of writing philosophy in this cause, starting with The Promethean Manifesto in 1998. I felt compelled to help save the world from the crisis of civilization I predicted and feared if we continued to follow the same traditions of force and other folly. I knew that beyond simply saying “no” to them, the solution would be to supersede collective goals for so-called “society” with an enlivening hope instead: the reinvigoration of human potential in individuals, in the finest spirit of Nietzsche or Renaissance humanism.
I was experiencing for myself that indeed, the individual with spirit could step into a life greater than he’d imagined. I had proven to myself, in my own case, that once we understand that a constraint is not fundamental to our identity we can find a way outside it. We can unlock many doors with the right keys of knowledge and practice, for which we can search. I knew that it was possible to straighten up, and stand higher than before. I knew it was possible to become more than familiar walls allowed to their prisoner. In my joy I wanted to awaken others to unlocking the doors of their own painful cages or modest prison rooms. In the energetic pursuit of that ambition, I found joy reignited fiercely that very few get to experience. That too, I wanted to share.
I followed also the hopes of (classical) liberals—men of the Enlightenment on the Continent, in Britain, and America, and their successors—for “society” to loosen the grip of constructed social hierarchy, and let other men grow like wildflowers. (I had, at the very beginning, no knowledge of the obscure politics of libertarian “anarchism” and had to logically reinvent that particular wheel [of stateless society], which I think turned out to facilitate original and post-political thinking on the problem.) I was interested not just in broad strokes but in figuring out all necessary particulars, not only by acquiring knowledge that I could, but by inspiring the assistance of others to supplement deficiencies in my own reach.
To reach other people, I began to create what would be the internet’s first website to depict an original philosophy, in works designed from the first for portrayal on the internet—laid out for the web, but also to enable a living philosophy that could be revised, continually updated and improved, instead of remaining static on the pages of fixed and permanent books. I adopted the term Prometheanism for the philosophy I envisioned, and Promethean for the movement I envisioned.
I felt an acute responsibility, but from the beginning, the future of this movement was never solely in my hands simply because mine wrote down the founding ideas of Prometheanism. Responsibility would have to pass to the hands of hundreds of others also, before it could ever rest in the hands of thousands. I would have to begin by searching for individuals also able to take initiative and responsibility to push the snowball along.
I needed to find others who felt personal responsibility to ensure that we, the human beings alive in modern times, took the steps necessary to resolve the great problems that the dead bequeathed to us, and the myths they made us believe. But success in convincing others was never guaranteed. No one who tries a great thing can ever be sure of a favorable outcome from it, even with the greatest will to realize it. Worse, having spirit might not allow us to admit this, but when one must work with others and count on others, an apathetic failure is as possible as a glorious one.
From the beginning I made the argument however that the attempt itself is noble, and the challenge without peer. Some like myself would always feel it necessary, dictated by passionate sentiments of character, foresight of historical concerns and crisis, and duty. I have since come to realize the combination is too unusual to find in an appreciable number of others today, unless perhaps one has the means to search high and low. Perhaps because I underwent a rigorous, old-fashioned intellectual training like a boot camp—or more accurately, like an officer’s school—abdicating the duty before me never seemed an option.
Beyond this, it seemed to me then, as it seems to me now, that no other strategy offers a pragmatic alternative in the long term other than achieving the objectives of Prometheanism, broadly including Promethean education in some form, accommodation and maximization of our own natures personally and socially, and—following the method of giving proof of concept—eventually founding a Promethean society suitable to Man.
Even the best of the less ambitious and cohesive measures offer band-aids instead of cures. They suffer from failures of imagination; they misunderstand the pervasiveness of the entire interconnected problem of misshapen society, stunted culture, and unrealized potential of human life on Earth. Each shows preoccupation with different syndromes—political, social, economic, legal, moral, cultural, physiological, psychiatric, linguistic, intellectual, or so on—without seeing their necessary interdependence, and without a properly holistic idea of health to encourage. The worst measures, on the other hand, mistake Man or human nature for a disease.
I began to appreciate the gap that strangely went unfilled. It would ensure a disaster for civilization, but at some indeterminate, stuttering pace that left symptoms in its wake, to appear unconnected from their real causes. I was determined to make clear the need for a collaboration of perspectives that—remarkably—very few grasped even in part. I was surprised that the fragmentation of general education—I suppose—had left such an obvious historic opportunity for leadership still unfulfilled. I was surprised that Balkanized activists for every meaningful angle on progress, even those I respected very much, apparently lacked an unknown banner of humanism and civilization to tell them: respect one another, for your different insights and ways are needed. Since I could find no one else already assembling the campaign that I felt would ultimately be necessary, I had to be the one to pick up that banner first. I would have to count on others to follow.
The heroic cause of Man, also the cause of heroic Man, was a responsibility I was not reluctant to accept and I wanted to be counted among those who followed it, but founding the necessary movement myself was my last resort. I only undertook it once I understood the fatal limitations of existing kinds of organizations. Their principles were typically confined only to “issues” that concerned them, ignoring other essentials. Often enough, I found their organization or methods aped the conceptual problems they sought to oppose elsewhere (hierarchy or collectivism, for example). I realized that all the relevant efforts I could find would fail in the long term, or find only partial and temporary success. They would not solve the great historical problem by chopping it up for a more “practical” assault. Their recognizing only bits of it also typically excluded their own psychological deficiencies, and the acute challenge of facing them. I knew above all that whatever one could not resolve for oneself, one was always sentenced to impose on the world. Like Cassandra, I was not interested in pretending I knew less than I did. I could not find solace, as others did, in the illusion of partial measures analogous to topical remedies for holistic illness or watered-down remedies for serious illness.
Otherwise, I would have sensibly preferred to join whatever some others—perhaps better suited to motivation or logistics, perhaps already funded or famous—had already begun to mobilize, although I did become excited by the challenge once I committed to building a new movement. My reluctance was not merely due to the prospect of maximum personal effort and self-sacrifice, although it’s true that I would have preferred less than I would have to do in coming years. I would have also preferred volunteering philosophy and strategy as I pleased without trying to play the central role. As an introvert, the prospect of promotional exhortation elicited distaste. As introverts usually do, I preferred my work to sell itself instead of cultivating unseemly popularity to magnify it. Of course, at the same time I risked the usual criticisms of quixotism, narcissism, elitism, or iconoclasm which accompany all nonconformist actions of lone individuals. I reassured myself that I would soon find more extroverted co-leaders and convince them to step in front of me, so that I could apply myself to solving problems, offering guidance, encouraging, and facilitating success. Instead, I was obliged to try to overcome my aversion to making myself into an outspoken representative figure, with mixed success.
The work on Promethea proceeded from the earliest beta versions in 1998–1999. I thought and created, I wrote and designed and published, I agonized and second-guessed as only a perfectionist can, though I did not allow doubts to prevent proceeding as boldly as I could. Over the first few years, attention, praise, and dozens of supporters and members joining the movement encouraged me to think I was following a viable strategy, as well as the path that was necessary to me personally.
I do not mean to understate difficulties that were evident from the beginning, and indeed, obvious before I began. Indolence, apathy, vague misanthropy and pessimism have their fashion. It has always been easier to criticize those who act apart from the established groups and in unexpected ways than to act also, and expose oneself to criticism of the conspicuous. One may also expect that the existing terrain of ignorance and misconception raises more barriers than any deliberate enemies, particularly the modern landscaping, industrial-scale mal-education. Even the plainest counterfactual delusion may be more sternly protected by instinct, the deep-seated resentment against those who uproot loyally-held figments, than by rationalizations subject to argument.
But in those years I put all my determination, efforts and resources behind the movement. I communicated extensively with interested parties, and fielded a great many questions. I ambitiously expanded the writing projects I pursued. As much as possible, I wanted the principles to be in place for larger cooperative projects that could be organized in the future with more support. My concerted attempt at preparation for a larger movement would lead to writing about how we should be organized, later included on a website just for the movement (prometheanmovement.org).
I was concerned not only with growing the movement faster but also how to avoid expansion contrary to its spirit. Having studied or observed the fates of many other kinds of organizations and movements, I worried about making expedient compromises. After all, much attention Promethea attracted was from people who wanted to engage in narrow political philosophy or political strategizing, at the expense of self-development that would be more useful to them, and instead of applying themselves to creating things that could be useful to Promethea or the movement. I was concerned about giving the Promethean movement an exclusively political character, or subjugating it to alliances that would corrupt it. First, I felt that the world had enough politics and not enough civilization, civilizing culture, or civilizing institutions. Second, at the same time I was striving to make Promethean philosophy more holistic in consideration of Man, I was determined that the Promethean movement’s activism should differ from politics, and follow expressive, artistic, psychological, and educational avenues as well as sociopolitical avenues. Nonetheless, I evaluated various prospects for non-entangling alliances to address particular issues of freedom and individualism but not compromise our goals. Accepting the help of individuals who might otherwise differ on Prometheanism but could contribute behind the scenes as they felt common cause would be the smallest scale of this principle.
In the first years of Promethea obstacles and limitations, chiefly reckoned in 1) financial resources, 2) exposure, and 3) volunteers, seemed mere setbacks that even more effort or some alteration in tactics could overcome. If volunteer support proved more inconsistent and unreliable than initial enthusiasm, as has been my monotonous experience, it was reassuring whenever promising individuals appeared with a strong belief in the work or a desire to learn from it. If shoestring budgets seemed prohibitive, personal contribution kept the work going somehow, slowly. I awaited breakthroughs in getting the word out further and reaching the right people, knowing that more exposure could bring both more commitment and more resources. We had, I felt, not only a need and an opportunity to change the world, but superior “products” to offer in the market of ideas—if only we could get the word out to those who wanted to realize personal and social change (not “change” in the sloganeering of politics or self-help).
The proliferation of the internet in its second generation of devoted users swamped messages with noise—and with the same old messages from monied, popular, and conventional interests. The second wave of users discovered, populated, and repurposed the internet for impulsive entertainment, social networking, and commercial advertising.
The usage profile of the internet changed dramatically along with the massive expansion in access—now nearly universal. The democratization of the internet marginalized content-driven use. Idealists, dissidents, and other unusual thinkers could once communicate substantive ideas to the first online generation, who would willingly read and frequently enough discuss ideas intelligently in forums or email at length. An atmosphere of frivolousness and indifference accompanied the incoming broader base of users. Ignorance amused with itself, attracted by distraction, seemed to outpace and displace curiosity to learn. I take this as a reflection of more numerous instead of better minds awash in the global flood of information.
No longer is it possible to build a special website and expect that interested people will come. Affordable promotional strategies that once worked will be lost in the now-immeasurable internet. Traffic is now an expensive matter of competition. Well-funded websites and networks have come to dominate because comparable investments are impossible for small websites—especially those with select audiences, struggling to afford ongoing costs, hardware and software updates.
Disposable content became typical of an internet culture obsessed with dynamism, obsoleting itself constantly through sheer quantity if not erasure, despite the technical capacity for retention of information. The old style of permanent web site acquired the dismissive label “static.” If civilization requires preservation, note well that net culture in its strangeness dismisses websites from the 2000s as old, and websites from the 1990s as antiques. Current readers expect nothing from “old” articles—from five years ago. Writing a retrospective for a website like Promethea is practically archaeology.
If the accretion of a movement suitable to promote the objectives of Prometheanism, such as Promethean education and eventually founding a Promethean society, could have been possible under these adverse conditions, untimely crises would soon make the efficacy of more core commitment or some alteration in tactics into moot points.
In September 2001, the cultural environment changed dramatically to one of insecurity and cruelty. The misguided overreaction to one attack would jeopardize far more than an attack could. Untrustworthy, colossal spy and war bureaucracies received blank checks and unchecked powers. Legal excuses were invented to redeem torture, pundits endorsed ethnic cleansing or genocide, and it was common to hear demands that contrary opinions be silenced, or prosecuted for treason.
Hostility and disinterest towards dissidents and social critics—at worst called public enemies, at best seemingly obsoleted by events—would mar the “war on terror” domestically. The proclamation of fearsome public crises like Terrorism and the “ratchet effect” of state power feeding on the psychology of crisis were nothing new. However, the timing was particularly unfortunate for recruitment by a young movement in need of open-mindedness and willingness to experiment in order to challenge the internal and social status quo. Defensiveness snapped shut the former (relative) openness to alternate ways of thinking. Former citizens of the world, discovering human identity on the global networks, reverted to territorial loyalties, nationalism, chauvinism, parochialism, bigotry, xenophobia.
It was possible at that time to observe familiar grounds for both contentious and productive debate on the internet re-fragment into camps that found meeting on common ground impossible and intolerable. One could watch polarization into oppositions: reactionaries and reactions to them. Dissidents who dug in to fight back also became embittered and consumed. The deepest corruption by politics being the occlusion of other psychology, I could not but think the disillusioned noble souls of the world were not only in danger from the powers they spoke against; more than ever, they were in danger of losing the best of themselves.
2003, the year we launched a sister site for the Promethean movement (a “portal” designed to accommodate changes in usage of the web), was unfortunately also the year of the Iraq invasion. Hostility and disinterest toward criticism of the public narratives would continue. We who did speak out then were subsequently proven right, but the inimical environment would not recede for years to come.
It would first be obscured by a distracting change in public narrative, no less ludicrous and credulously believed, accompanying party-machine politics in the US shifting from red to blue and continuing with business as usual. Mencken’s guffaw has never been disproven.
For a combination of these and perhaps other reasons, the special cosmopolitan culture of the internet of the 1990s and before September 2001, an environment relatively welcoming of alternate ideas, would never quite return. The window of opportunity of having a unique means of access and education, a new printing press for a new literacy, had closed. The infrastructure, as it turned out, was the least of the opportunity.
It seemed to me that when the worst instincts of militancy and paranoia receded a bit, they left behind changed internet subcultures. They seem less often animated by common traits of curiosity and enterprise—and certainly, not so animated by shared optimism. It has been very difficult to say whether exhaustion of the internet’s once-special culture was due more to the great dilution by popularization, that inevitable spreading-out of the “cyberspace” frontier, or to the aggressive psychological environment of crisis that coincided with it.
Regardless, a young generation now uses the internet which retains no memory of relative quality over quantity, as well as no memory of a time in which dystopia seemed a fiction or an avoidable future instead of the unfolding present. Much has become typical that I once believed there was time to avoid and prepare to resist. Reality has outpaced warnings of dystopia to come, putting those with foresight into the awkward position of being right but too late, too few, or too much ignored when we could have made the most difference. Our best chance to wield the new printing press gave way to yellow journalism, rags and magazines, celebrity and lame titillation, noise and nonsense, but also to defensive politicization. Some have observed that in recent years the internet has grown more political, as though this were entirely a positive development akin to “waking up”; I do not agree that it is.
Inimical factors have no doubt contributed to the erosion of attention, support, and momentum that put the Promethean movement into a holding pattern. Attempts to reorganize and reinvigorate the movement have not succeeded. My own attempts to explore parallel, supplementary avenues for outreach and fundraising have not proven successful or sufficient.
I must also be candid here about the role played by my personal health, since it has interfered significantly with my ability to continue strenuous work habits regardless of my motivation, and sometimes reduced it. I have undergone two phases of health issues that interrupted my work. The first was a stress-related blood pressure problem that built up during the years 2007–2009, not coincidentally a period of burning the candle at both ends. The other was an indeterminate neurological disruption that has not ended.
With practice, the scary issue of dysfunctional reading partially improved months later, thanks to the plasticity of the human brain to readjust to neurological damage. By autumn of 2011, I had reacquired enough visual focus to slowly and stubbornly struggle through the same editing. My headaches abated gradually over the next year or so.
However, to this day abnormal visual artifacts and sensitivities impair my visual system, which is easily exhausted. My working times must be brief compared to the marathons I once managed. Careful reading or editing is a strain. My vision remains unclear and imprecise due to persistent visual artifacts, like negative afterimages, that overlay my view of the world. I stumble with words far more than I once did, not least because my brain must sort out each line I read from the overlaid shadow-bars of those before it. I am more or less able to write, as long as I limit glare and other sources of undue visual strain, but I must make allowances for my visual cortex having good and bad days and weeks.
As a consequence, I must be more patient with the progress I can make on any project, and more judicious in expending energy. I have less patience to follow cluttered sentences and large paragraphs, or academic meander. I try to focus my limited time to read and write on the projects of greatest worth. I have ceased work on completing many unfinished articles and essays. I tend to consider whether what I write will stand the test of time, or otherwise deserve the investment. My love of words, writing, and intellectual interaction for its own sake has thus been tempered.
In combination with my personal health and other factors, the aforementioned insufficient financial support and disappointing volunteer support have meant that the Promethean movement cannot fulfill its original intent and ambition. The website presence cannot be updated as it should. The strategy of publishing my writing online to speak for itself and gather support (with limited promotional funds) has also not proven productive enough, after the “snowball” seemingly melted. For years it has no longer made sense to prioritize Promethea, always at my considerable expense in some ways, without a consistent return of attention among those I hope to reach or those I once did. My attempts to draw traffic with other initiatives have not succeeded so far. The sense of speaking to no one—or very few—has been palpable, even with some of my best work.
That is why I have finally decided not to pursue further projects designed to be hosted on Promethea and to suspend formerly planned additions and updates. As of this writing I have no plans to update or maintain Promethea.org further. I have no intention of stubbornness in this decision, and indeed acknowledge it only belatedly and with reluctance, because I feel I must. A return to the web is possible if circumstances seem more favorable, or opportunities can be made so.
I have for some time stopped actively furthering membership in an organized Promethean movement, although I plan to continue mentoring and teaching Prometheanism to some promising individuals who seek me out. I also plan to continue ad hoc collaborations with members of the movement, without formal relationships and responsibilities. This will allow flexible and organic associations in place of stable organization. The latter only confers advantages if the scale of operations extends beyond one person’s ability to oversee them personally.
It is my task in this letter to relate my decision(s) and describe the ongoing state of affairs. However, I want to assure you that I have no intention of giving up on the larger game, so to speak. I plan to await future opportunities whenever they come, and prepare accordingly. I continue an adaption to longer-term projects with open-ended goals. These are no less ambitious but necessarily less definite. They require more patience, and will quite possibly only see fruition after my own time.
Close entwinement of hope with disappointment is oftentimes the lot of servants of human potential. It is impossible to ensure a result from worthy effort, spoiled to demand it, and irrational to expect it contrary to operative facts. If it is my lot to prepare for some historic opportunity that will only come to a future generation I will never get to meet in a time I will never see, I will try to accept my role to play as cheerfully as Nietzsche once did.
My work developing the philosophy of Prometheanism will not cease. I will continue to explore, create, and consider other possible avenues and media. I can at least ensure that my own creative output represents the cause of rekindling Man and civilization—for that cause deserves clarification and strengthening instead of neglect. I can do my best to ensure that the cause is not lost to all because it has been forgotten by too many. Of course it deserves more than I can ever give; it deserves the best of us.
The anthology Rising in Words (available in print), featuring the definitive essay on human progress in idea and reality, “Rising in Walls.” This picked up the theme of Balkanization in detail.
A book describing a revolutionary model for understanding the human mind and personality.
A book on the origins of hierarchy in human society based on research into the literature on psychopaths and narcissists, also warning about personal encounters.
A mini-documentary script about war, anthropology, and commonly misunderstood human nature.
A satirical literary novel called Pyramid of Babel (manuscript complete), telling an epic story of struggle against dystopia, as both a social and psychological condition.
I pursued these supplemental projects in part to bring my work to a bigger audience or a different audience. Most of them I intended for print publication, either through self-publishing or a publisher capable of marketing support.
The novel I specifically designed for both mass-market print publication of the book as a salable product and artistic or philosophical merits, instead of sacrificing one to the other. For me, it was never an option to subjugate art or ideas to sales, but I had no objection to sales and had great need of a way to make my work self-supportive. A broader reach for Promethean ideas (which I could then better promote) was also part of my thinking, and so I prioritized the novel.
I’m proud of the creative result. I’m proud of the ideas in the book, and that I managed not to drag down the art and craft of writing with mere ideological pedagogy. As for my strategy though, unfortunately I must report the timing has (once again) been inopportune, in this case for a shift from online publication to print. An artist ought not to create based on market research, but I have since deduced that the present is the most unfavorable era in publishing history for new authors to attempt to market substantive works of ideas or literary art. There are realities of the business that readers of books, acquainted with details about a few non-representative authors’ careers, are unable to appreciate. Pardon the digression as I explain what I mean. I believe that the plight of writers trying to create significant literature today deserves to be widely known.
Few with profound ideas in mind and the talent to write them out also grant themselves the experience of laboring for the years they need to perfect a magnificent book—building on preparation that begins long before. Most who do finish an opus discover that their prolonged anticipation of others finally reading and appreciating it was misplaced. For today, they struggle to have their work seen at all by literary agents and publishers, based on some tiny selection they are permitted to send, much less to reach the reading public.
It is difficult to convey such indecisive disappointment. The author is never allowed an entirely crestfallen resolution (unless he settles for some obscure press), but still the book sits, and no one sees it. A blunted book presses down many urges to create again.
A number of factors I will not enumerate here have led to a perfect storm of detritus in the literary world. A record high of manuscripts circulate, primarily of low quality, to which the gatekeepers for an indiscriminate market generally attach little value.
Typical gatekeepers include literary agents, whom authors must now use to reach most publishers. Many have the highfalutin vices of politically-correct university spawn. One can find repugnant talk about literature—reduction of books to demographic jargon, arbitrary specifications, or the “pitch”—in perfect doublethink with professing personal love of special books. An awful lot of agents seem to consider writing dispensable and interchangeable, not to be prized as literature—a marketable art—but fungible like coinage, as though one manuscript swaps with another in its genre.
All in all, in accordance with some corollary of Gresham’s Law for authors, low quality manuscripts in great quantity must drive the much greater investments that authors make in higher quality manuscripts out of the marketplace. Instead of trading unequally with the lowest entertainment, we authors must be tempted to keep high art to ourselves if we even trouble to write it.
Put another way—and I suppose I say so at the risk of sounding bitter, but I do say so—the literary industry or much of it is essentially abdicating from responsibilities to literature as traditionally understood. Too many gatekeepers have assumed they can only sell the miserable and regular supermarket-tomato cross-breeds of genre-fiction lines, the latest sprocket-widget assemblies of familiar tropes. Many seem unprepared to discern quality aside from professional craft inside these little boxes—but even that fails to explain the very bad writing one can easily find on the shelves.
The most obtuse gatekeepers attribute to authors the cachet of great literature because they sell well. They forget how much they select for the expectations of the market, and that the available English literature teaches each literate generation what to expect. Overall, it’s almost inconceivable that a great many of the high-selling singular classics of the twentieth century, irregular, original, strange and beautiful, would ever have made it past them.
Nevertheless, I will continue to pursue publication in print or explore alternate media as makes sense for each specific project. At most, anticipating publication shapes the form of my writing and the choice of projects I feel encouraged to pursue—the lure of readers having nudged me towards online articles once, and later to write a literary novel to be both artistic and marketable. The vector of publication certainly affects who will hear about my writing in order to have the chance to read it. A few success stories aside, it’s still very rare for either small presses or self-publishing without independent funding to match the exposure of major publishing.
That is the influence of publication. Otherwise, I continue quietly writing regardless of reception or appreciation. I think I usually manage without too many sighs and untoward complaints, even if I occasionally feel as remote from others’ notice as a nameless hermit.
I find that after any listless or doubtful fallowing of my creativity, at a primary level of encounter I come back to the writing I would create for myself alone—for my own inspiration, for my own experience, for my own understanding. I trust what comes when I listen closely to inner voices. I trust the process, not only the craft but also the more mysterious impetus from within. I believe in what I make as much as I believe in making it as well as I can. I write to clarify for others and to teach, but I do not write to satisfy anyone else.
It would be a great mistake to start, not only for the sake of what I write, but also for my own sanity and even for my own survival, according to some hierarchy of needs peculiar to the outsider thinker or artist. I depend on the honesty of the work.
My stubbornness in the matter of writing may be considered perverse by the financially-driven or socially-driven population. My writing will continue—must—regardless of publication or the means of publication, regardless of whether an audience awaits to notice or anyone stands ready to pay.
It would be misguided to entirely disregard others, and inaccurate to boast that I am untroubled by the opinions of others. But in the end I have to write not what others applaud or approve, but what seems to me important and most interesting, without too much concern for whether the work will come at my expense or (at best) remuneration will exceed penny wages.
I have nothing against profit and certainly prefer profit if it comes without significant compromise. But it seems to me that attachment to the work instead of the pay is the salient method to discern an artist or creator from an entertainer or employee. Likewise if an intellectual writes for remuneration by his university support structure, he must write what is acceptable to academic venues and cannot be free to think. A philosopher worthy of the name risks alienating others, and thus his own poverty. This lesson I learned first from Socrates.
While I have had mixed news to communicate, I am more pleased to finally share the following news about what I have been writing in recent years. I have been sketching out and filling out a magnum opus of Promethean philosophy in two volumes. Prometheus Redux is the tentative title.
Obliged for the reasons I have described to step back from the goal of organizing societal proofs of concept, I have turned to another task instead: creating a landmark philosophical and literary work designed for the all-around needs of those who would shoulder human progress, including self-development (as real progress must). Few would imagine it possible to assemble a work this ambitious, either. I hope to inspire intellectuals with proof that philosophy, literature, and humanism worthy of the words are not dead, and show that standards can and must be raised. I hope also to empower individuals in the future with the keys I have managed to devise, or to collect from the great and special individuals who inspired me, and guided me on my own path.
In writing these all-new volumes, I have created a successor to fifteen years of Promethean material—a synthesis of ideas from published work and the considerable amount as-yet unpublished, with ideas new to my readers. I have challenged myself to improve, refine, and go further than previous work, to try to create the definitive expression of Prometheanism thus far. The volumes of Prometheus Redux are named as reimagined editions of my first foundational works, The Promethean Manifesto and Anticonstitution for a Promethean Society, although these titles may change.
Vol. 1, The Promethean Manifesto, and Vol. 2, Anticonstitution for a Promethean Society, have changed since their last editions in 2003. The changes reflect considerable effort to develop Prometheanism since 2003, and a more precise understanding of the most pressing issues for Promethean philosophy to examine in present day. This does not refer to current events, but neglected and poorly-understood fundamentals of life. The new books are intended to provide a foundation of knowledge instrumental to personal transformation and cultural reformation.
In brief, these volumes will not only put forth Prometheanism as a philosophy, but also integrate the broad foundation of knowledge needed by the remarkable individual who wants to make human potential real, personally and in the world around them.
For one of the things I have learned over the past fifteen years is the ineluctable importance of fundamentals, or the realizations that should be fundamental. Pioneering advanced ideas and techniques among those who lack more fundamental ones is not possible. The unfortunate mis-education of our times—to ignore some important things, misunderstand others, and particularly to fight against oneself—remains a terrible and broad obstacle in the way of human progress. Those who have somehow escaped serious mis-education or clawed their way back out of brainwashing are as scarce as hen’s teeth, far fewer than those who believe they have.
I aim to address the problem seriously, almost from the ground up, by supplementing available modern resources for self-education and holistic education (Bildung). This new work will be my answer to the challenge of reorienting any enterprising reader so that change can happen for him or her, despite unlucky mis-education. Of course, my goal is not merely remedial, so I have also labored to refine insights at the cutting edge of self-knowledge and understanding.
The new Manifesto will encourage a deeper understanding of the philosophy of Prometheanism, explore essential inner experiences and the psychology of individuals, and suggest realistic steps for personal development based on fostering human nature and culture.
More than an argument for inner development, The Promethean Manifesto will offer a guide to human nature, reconsidered, and a defense of human potential against both its traditional ankle-weights and the fashionable modern abandonment of humanism.
The new Anticonstitution will expand Prometheanism from the individual outward, into society. The Anticonstitution will describe a Promethean society that best reflects the realities of human nature. The Anticonstitution will expand the Manifesto’s discussion of culture to the networks of exchange essential to material and experiential life.
In addition to applying Prometheanism to the social realm and making an argument for connected individualism, the Anticonstitution will offer a defense of human civilization in an age of its casual and contemptuous erosion.
Readers of former editions of the Manifesto and Anticonstitution will also notice developments of style more akin to evocative myth or storytelling, and more conducive to meditation on ideas, as well as retaining the immediacy of a manifesto. This “MMM” style strives to state what most needs to be said elegantly and boldly.
I have not yet decided on how best to circulate Prometheus Redux, and I’m far from an estimate of completion. As well as considering print and web publishing, I have considered recording audio readings of key passages, and other options for dramatization. I will have more concrete details to offer in the future, and I hope to have your support.
I have always wanted to ride the edge of what might be impossible. Although once it seemed an opportune path, Promethea.org was soon faced with an increasingly unworkable set of challenges to overcome. I would like to offer my profound thanks for the volunteering and sponsorship that have aided the work at Promethea over the years—and to those who will no doubt support future trials and experiments which may succeed or fail. This is how we learn what is really impossible, after all. Anything assured is, of course, barely worth the ambition to do it.
The mentoring I have been able to conduct because of reaching some promising individuals through Promethea stands out in my mind as the greatest testament to the idea, which assumed the global internet could succeed or supplement the peripatetic method of the old philosophers, teachers, rabbis, sensei, without all the walking. Certainly, some of my finest experiences in life have come from teaching interested, intelligent, aspiring individuals who sought me out to discuss Promethean writings.
To all of you: more is possible. Never give up.
[via Open Culture on Facebook] Was amused by responses to an essay by Steven Pinker (“precious and facile as always,” as one put it) called “Science Is Not Your Enemy,” that misses its opportunity for the descriptive subtitle: “Steven Pinker Talks Down to the Humanities” (among which he seems to include “soft,” humanized, or subjective social sciences and psychologies).
So upon reading it, I must say I too am impressed. Pinker doesn’t just set up a straw man. He has an entire straw debate going on there. It’s remarkable because most of what is correct in it has nothing to do with any real argument that intelligent people would present. But Pinker still has a lecture! Err, that’s nice Pinker—tell us some of the neat things “science” has done (not scientists – monolithic “science”) and *do tell* how it banished superstition (yes, you’ve heard this one before). Why not put on a whole performance of “Inherit the Wind”? We’ll wait.
But then, maybe go look into some things you don’t already know, like what the term “scientism” properly means when intelligent people use it, instead of pretending it has no meaning, a move worthy of Daniel Dennett’s argumentative tactics. My favorite ignorance is found in the paragraph accusing others of being “historically illiterate” while demonstrating his own in the very next sentence.
He makes evident that his grasp of a great many diverse subjects (including those grouped under political science, arts, history, anthropology and economics) is sometimes no more sophisticated than the preliminary biases, cliches, naivete, and prejudices of the average college-level intellect obtained from an undergraduate class or (more likely) casual reading.
Such an unprepared debater has all the moral authority of a man with no pants. Those well-versed in “the humanities” will simply wonder why he blundered in, so to speak, seemingly determined to pick a daftly-collective argument.
Pinker couldn’t have supported Gould’s assertion of two spheres appropriate to humanities and science (reflecting the classic distinction between “is” and “ought”) any better if he’d argued for it, instead of against it. I don’t incidentally draw lines between subjects like academic specialists too often do, but one has to be clear about the differences between describing the way things work, and prescribing what to do about it—as well as differences in preparation, methods and mentalities each properly require.
I want to note, on the positive side, that Pinker’s stated desire for collaboration and synthesis towards the end of the piece points to a laudable project (one which I wrote about at great length in my essay Rising in Walls), though the way he has written this piece, and comports himself, makes a productive “truce” impossible. And, to parallel Dennett’s distinction between good and bad reductionism, there is good synthesis and there is bad. The examples of cross-fertilization Pinker gives are pretty bad, having for example not enough of the humility before the unknown and uncertain, or appreciation for qualitative subtlety, that the best humanists in science or the humanities will call for. It would be wonderful for scientific techniques and rigorous epistemology to inform more of the subjective theory written about life on Earth, and vice versa. Pinker just doesn’t have a handle on what that would look like, because he is not enough of a generalist, either.
With an essay this bad, it would take more time than I have to unpack everything. Here’s a brief, eviscerating praeteritio that covers points that I did not go through—including, that Pinker obviously ignores and doesn’t consider worthy of mention a number of aspects one would normally consider quite essential to “the humanities.” Some criticisms may be less obvious though, and perhaps it’s worth the exercise of going through them. In the above post, I took for granted that, meeting Pinker halfway, we were going to talk about the humanities as functional—focusing on purposes and purposeful thinking, which is certainly not the only way to look at things. But this is the teleology you have to expect from scientism; it doesn’t have time for a lot of meandering around and reading poetry so to speak but rather wants to talk about what poetry does for the human race. In short, I took some deficiencies for granted, and arrogance—this is Pinker, after all, the man who went up against Stephen Jay Gould on evolution, though to this day, he casually misunderstands (or misrepresents?) the basic Darwinian argument.
It occurred to me today that the attitude of most people to the subject reminds me of that old saying about “how sausage is made.” Bismarck supposedly compared this to politics, although it probably wasn’t really him who said that the less you know about how laws and sausages are made, the better.
Many people have a similar attitude about this infamous thing called human nature. They have very little interest in examining the considerable and fascinating anthropology and psychology available to them. The less they look into it, the better, they seem to feel. However, they do refer to it frequently, and rely on it constantly, inasmuch as we are all human.
When they refer to unexamined “human nature,” it’s almost always negative. They assume (as people once did about sausages) that what went into it was not very good. There’s a vague assumption that the naughty, nasty bits went in there, a suspicion of Original Sin.
But of course this is based on things like “anecdotal evidence” from personal experience, or picked historical events from the violent, cynical, populous and technological 20th century, which can’t be taken as representative of human nature. Aspects of human nature emerged over hundreds of thousands of years in the Paleolithic, during the evolution of species and subspecies in the genus Homo. (Not to mention millions of years of pre-Homo primates, and mammals.) They aren’t historical developments, and they aren’t something that will necessarily be obvious to someone whose mind they compose. From the inside, we’re a bit too close to this subject to trust our notions, in other words, and our perspectives are more than a bit skewed by the subjective and the recent.
And of course, it’s not true that you’re better off if you don’t know what goes on in politics, even though politicians would prefer it that way. You do want to know, because you will have to deal with it, regardless. The same is true of human nature. Even more so because whatever human nature really is, it’s actually impossible to escape, unlike the consequences of dirty, corrupt politics—which are only very difficult to escape.
We ought to want to know precisely what our nature is. We’re forced to adapt utopian visions of society to it, or fail. It both limits what we personally can do, and facilitates it. We suffer the consequences if we contradict it. We’re forced to work with it regardless of our ignorance, and it’s an impossible job if we’re plagued by misconceptions. And it’s also just possible that our true nature isn’t quite what we’ve been led to believe by so much of the culture on top of it. That would be a wonderful discovery for people to make.
Our various and numerous failures constructed on the premises of understanding ourselves sufficiently will repeat until we admit the basic failure of presuming we understand ourselves (and others; humans) better than we do. This covers philosophy, politics, psychology, neuroscience, and much, much more.
Thus, reformations are needed to incorporate optimized knowledge of “human nature” (universals), and important human variations, from any quarter. So, not only complacency within fields of study is an issue, although it certainly is in many of the blasé treatments of fundamental assumptions, but isolated specialization of fields of study, as I argued in the essay Rising in Walls. For instance, even those involved in some of the best of politics, economics, or history retain the most simplistic knowledge and appreciation of what some of the best of psychology, mythology, evolutionary theory or cultural anthropology can tell them about people—and really see no particular relevance in exploring them.
Both problems come together, for example, in the sorts of neo-evolutionary fields Stephen Jay Gould used to criticize, in which it’s just assumed that complex systems like culture and mind are thoroughly analogous to computers or algorithms or Darwinian inheritance (or whatever the model may be) without nearly enough justification. When 1) nobody’s interested in what different approaches and perspectives can correct, and 2) they affirm their own theoretical models too readily, you get reductionism instead of elegance in your descriptions of humanity.
My focus has shifted considerably to projects explicitly re-examining and re-constructing fundamental assumptions about human beings through a cross-pollinated synthesis, because I can’t see that attempts to work around and with Man (as we must) can have any hope of success if serious errors in conceptualizing humanity are preserved.
In terms of those of us trying to change things, we’re all doing everything the hard way without a more robust synthesis to utilize and to promote, to replace lopsided ones with a wad of selective detail supplemented by a lot of hand-waving and folk notions (probably a more than fair description of what people or a person will typically “look like,” through our own eyes).
R.A. Wilson was one example of a thinker who made an attempt at a cross-pollinated model to slice through some of the nonsense clinging to our ideas about ourselves, but I didn’t consider it adequately informed or theoretically sound—particularly when it deviated from the overall spirit of naturalism inspired by his knowledge of ethology to become too speculative and teleological. There were many problems with it, as well as several advantages (which can be said of all the more interesting personality theories and typologies, and models of the mind I have studied for the past 17 years). He himself expected his models to be obsoleted, so… I think perhaps he would be pleased with what I’ve been working on.
In short, at whatever level of sophistication and complexity, we need a better set of stories to tell ourselves about ourselves—not only less selective, but less superficial, more refined and more intensely questioned, and better informed by descriptions, analogies and metaphors from across promising frontiers of knowledge.
When I see an unwell, undernourished 20-plus year old cat display more moxie than most humans I know, it’s a powerful reminder of how far away people have withdrawn from their better instincts.
Cats struggle to survive when life gets hard—stray cats, even more than pets. People think from time to time that it might be easier if they weren’t alive, when they’re depressed or feel sorry for themselves. People learn to feel anxious or guilty about being here, and even pick up that humans ought to apologize for being alive on Earth. Cats consume. People do too, but they have learned to question that, feel uneasy, or detest it.
Cats go after what they want. People are reluctant to go after what they want, and they’re afraid to get it. Cats focus on what they’re doing at the moment. People distract themselves from being present. Cats revel in pleasurable sensations and devote serious time to them. People feel guilty about feeling pleasure, and deny themselves, or feel like they need permission or an excuse. Cats love affection when they want it. People reject affection when they want it.
It seems that cats have feline nature on their side implicitly, but people won’t accept their own human nature.
Other animals besides Man aren’t uncertain about whether it’s good to be vigorous or direct. You have to wonder about an animal that wastes its years before getting sick or old doubting or diffusing its vital energies instead of accepting them before they’re gone.
• Looks like I have about 20,000 words toward my next major writing focus to sort through (not including notes), although the main challenge there will be to always refresh my perspective instead of getting bogged down in editing what I already have. This will be my latest systematic entry in the reformation of vital philosophy—not intended to be book length, but concise, compelling, and evocative like myth.
• Also about 5,000 words toward a secondary anthropology vid-doc project on war and human nature, plus more in notes. Current reading is research for that.
• I have some very large but uncounted amount of material towards my next big book, on a multidisciplinary theory of the human mind and sort of a explorer’s map/”user’s manual,” to resort to an inadequate phrase. That is the other really exciting thing on the horizon this year. Tempted to dive back into that sooner but I don’t plan on it quite yet, because I know it’s going to become all-consuming once again, when I do.
• I also plan to avoid dealing with the clutter of hundreds of thousands of words in material for sundry essays, articles, and aphorisms on the burner because I want to maintain focus on the first two things above. There’s a certain amount of reorganizing that has to be done at some point, though, once I decide what directions I want to prioritize out of all these things I once planned to follow up, years ago. Some I started during my novel, some before.
• The elephant in the room is that I need to decide how much I want to reinvest in web publishing. That will determine whether I’m going to focus on fewer, larger projects like novels, nonfiction books, and media, or again diversify into more varied web-based writings, as I used to when I accumulated all the stuff I have on hand. | 2019-04-26T00:10:58 | https://wisdomdancer.wordpress.com/category/anthropology/ |
If you're a fan of The Walking Dead and you have a spare $680,000 lying around, you could buy a chunk of property in Grantville, Georgia where some of the TV series was filmed (watch the behind-the-scenes special from above, whilst they were shooting on location in the town).
The former mayor Jim Sells has put downtown Grantville up for sale on eBay—the area equates to 34,000 square feet and includes nine buildings. Sells said he bought the properties when they foreclosed in the recession, but is now ready to hand them on.
Grantville is a former textiles town, but the mills closed in the 1970s and 80s, and now the main industry is walking dead tourists and a walking dead tour. The episode "Clear" from season three was filmed there.
It's the one where Rick, Carl, and Michonne find a weapons stash in Rick's old police station. Episodes "Prey" from season three and "Alone" from season four have also been partially filmed there.
Check out some pictures from The Walking Dead TV show and the eBay sale below. | 2019-04-26T04:28:50 | https://www.voomed.com/town-used-walking-dead-sale-ebay/ |
2017 was a significant year for our family, with respect to food allergies in particular. We learned through new experiences, endured multiple food challenges with a few false positives, survived a couple of pretty scary reactions, and are ending the year with a new vision and purpose to carry us into the future years.
My 2017 recap involves 5 life changing and eye opening events. Some of the events were good, some were scary, and I’m ever grateful that none of them were tragic. That fact alone makes 2017 another beautiful year to celebrate.
We discovered that my youngest son was allergic to fish when he broke out in full body hives after a taste of salmon when he was a baby. Early this year, after skin prick tests, blood tests and discussion with our allergist, we thought that there might be a good chance that he could tolerate white fleshed fish (cod, halibut and haddock) so we decided to do a food challenge. The food challenge went well and we were cleared to feed our son cod fish at least three times a week in order to keep my son desensitized. Yay! Good news, right?
This might be the perfect time to mention that we’ve had many many many failed food challenges in the past. So when we “passed” the cod challenge I was unsure, but I allowed myself to get excited. In fact, I was thrilled to be able to serve fish to my family without any stress and I quickly found many cod recipes to try.
In the end, nothing had really changed. We were temporarily given some false hope, which was the most painful part of this. I allowed myself a short mourning period to say goodbye to what could’ve been, then I left it behind. I had no choice. Whether it’s one fish, two fish, red fish or blue fish, my son can’t eat it.
Food challenges are an excellent way to definitively diagnose an allergy, and I only participate when I feel the chances of failing are minimal. That said, my eldest son has had many failed food challenges, and we unfortunately had to add another one to his list this year.
My son’s wheat allergy was always a mysterious one for us. We originally thought it was an intolerance because it caused his eczema to flare as a baby, but as he got older his reactions were more pronounced and clearly hives. His skin tests to wheat were always borderline, but blood tests confirmed the allergy. We avoided wheat, but foolishly believed it was one of his less serious allergies.
This year my son’s antibody levels for wheat were low enough that our allergist thought it would be possible to successfully challenge. We were hyped about the possibility of taking something off my son’s allergy list. We had a long discussion with our 6 year old son about the food challenge and explained the risk of having a reaction, and why the doctor believed he might pass the challenge. We also talked about the idea of him administering his own Epipen if it was needed. He agreed to do it, and went with me to buy the pasta and helped me prepare it on the morning of the test. I wanted him to own his allergy, and he was phenomenal.
It was an uneventful challenge, and after eating a bowl of wheat pasta and 3 hours at the office, he was free to go home. We were instructed to refrain from eating wheat for 24 hours and watch for any signs of delayed reactions, but if everything was normal he would be officially a wheat eater.
After a long day of sitting in a doctor’s office, my son was happy to attend his sports class after the challenge. He participated for the full hour, but when they were dismissed he walked to me and told me that his throat was hurting and he was having a hard time breathing. I lifted his shirt and saw hives all over his torso. Within a few minutes he told me he couldn’t breathe, so we decided to use the Epipen. We had already talked about him administering the Epipen himself, so I reminded him that he was going to do it, and walked him through every step slowly. He sat down, took out his Epipen and removed the blue safety with trembling fingers, and then placed the Epipen on his thigh, pushed and we counted together. Within seconds he felt normal again. It was magical. No, it was better than magic … it was science and technology at it’s best. Thank you epinephrine!!! You saved my son again.
We did the full ambulance and hospital song and dance as outlined in our emergency plan, and called our allergist the next morning. It turns out that rigorous exercise can sometimes induce anaphylaxis with the ingestion of certain foods (as if I don’t have enough to worry about), and wheat is a common culprit. If you’re interested in learning more, Anaphylaxis UK has a thorough fact sheet on Exercise-Induced Anaphylaxis.
Our “passed” food challenge was actually a “fail,” but I look back on that day as a true win. My 6 year old son talks about that day with great pride. He learned that he has the ability to help himself during an allergic emergency, and the importance of having his Epipen with him at all times was reinforced. We were also lucky to have been brought to SickKids hospital where they have a specialty food store that sells wheat-free, dairy-free, egg-free and nut-free bread and ice cream. We had a wonderful picnic at the hospital, full of delicious and allergy-friendly foods. Having access to delicious food allowed him to feel confident that he could find alternative allergy-friendly options for anything he wanted to eat. This is something that I want to be true for him in his lifetime. This is something that I will work endlessly to achieve.
A few months ago we were at a family dinner, and my youngest son who had confirmed allergies to eggs and fish took a bite from a bread stick while I had my back turned. This was of course a night that my husband was not there. I panicked a little, because I didn’t know the bread stick ingredients, but I quickly verified that his allergens were not present.
Within seconds my toddler started to get hives and his lips quickly ballooned. If you’ve ever been put in the position where you’ve had to decide whether or not to use the Epipen, you’ll be able to appreciate my internal debate. I know that the rule of thumb is with known ingestion of an allergen and when two systems are affected in an allergic reaction, you need to “Epi first and Epi fast.” Skin hives and swelling of mouth were two systems, and he had eaten a foreign food, so it should’ve been a no brainer, but I still hesitated. I don’t know if I was hoping that the symptoms would subside, or if I didn’t want to disrupt my family gathering, or if the idea of going to the hospital for 4 to 6 hours of surveillance was a deterrent, but my initial instinct was to wait and watch. It might have been a minute or just a few seconds, but I considered how young and small he was and how quickly his lips became swollen, and decided that this was not the type of reaction that I could afford to wait and watch. I used the Epipen on my 2 year old son, called an ambulance and spent the night at the hospital.
To this day, we still don’t know what caused this severe reaction, and I will never know what the reaction might have been if I didn’t use the Epipen. I don’t want or need to know this. The one thing I am sure of is that my son is healthy and thriving, I have no regrets about using the Epipen, and am proud of myself for taking action.
With the fish allergy recurrence and the mystery reaction, I had a new found mission to “prevent” my youngest son from developing a peanut allergy as well. The results of the LEAP study were released just as he was born, and I followed the medical advice to introduce peanut early to his diet at regular intervals.
Since my eldest son has a severe allergy to peanut and our family generally doesn’t consume his allergens in our home, I decided that the best way to give peanut to my other children was by giving them scoops of peanut butter, followed by a thorough wipe down so they couldn’t leave any traces of peanut on the toys or furniture.
Our allergist confirmed a new sensitization to peanut. I felt frustrated, angry and mostly defeated. I did everything I was “supposed” to do to prevent my son’s peanut allergy, yet he still developed one. I needed to make peace with this, so started to read more about the LEAP study and noted that with his egg allergy, eczema and the negligible size of his skin prick test, he would’ve fallen into the study cohort where 4.3% of kids still ended up with an allergy to peanut, not including the kids that dropped out of the study. While the LEAP study shows that introducing peanut early can reduce the incidence of peanut allergy in a large majority of the population, some kids still end up with peanut allergies, even under optimal conditions. Sometimes it really is just up to the food allergy gods.
I’m ending my 2017 review on a high note. This year we decided to take a family vacation to Mexico, and successfully avoided 7 of the top 8 allergens while eating well and experiencing a new culture. We rented a condo, went grocery shopping and cooked all of our own food. This was a life changing and eye opening experience for all of us.
I always wanted to believe that food allergies would not limit our lives, and this trip helped reinforce that. It also gave my children confidence to know that with a little bit of extra planning and effort, similar to the way we live our daily lives at home, we could live and eat safely anywhere in the world.
As I look back on 2017, it feels like the kind of year one ends by pushing a reset button.
This year was full of changes and rich lessons learned, and the most important thing is that my children are healthy, happy and thriving. We still live with multiple food allergies, and we are not alone. As our children get older, we’re becoming more and more aware of the importance and the positive impact that eating out safely at restaurants can bring to the lives of people with food allergies.
The lessons from my past, my previous careers, my food allergy advocacy and all of the stories I’ve heard from my friends that live with food allergies have all led me to focus on the future to help create a safer world with more eating options for families with food allergies. I’ve embarked on an exciting new project that I will share more details about in a few weeks, but the future looks bright and delicious!
I wish you and your families a safe 2018 full of love, laughter and continuous learning!! Happy New Year! | 2019-04-23T20:26:44 | http://www.hypefoodie.com/living/2017-best-and-worst/ |

Mrs. Tudor is a health care professional, and somewhere along the line, our conversation turned to health-related issues. She shared some research with me and offered to give me an over-the-counter supplement at church that evening.
We often ask the Lord to use us, but we don’t often mean it—not like that. We want to be useful, but we don’t really want to be used.
When we start feeling used, we back away, certain that we don’t deserve to be taken advantage of.
But when Mrs. Tudor said, “Use me,” she meant it—for real. How do I know?
Because even as an elementary and junior high student, I watched her life say “Use me” to countless needy people. She didn’t know it at the time, but her willingness to be used—even to the point of making herself available to be taken advantage of—made a deep impression on me.
She said “Use me” as a second grade Sunday school teacher…and she thoroughly prepared and enthusiastically taught a group of young girls every week. I’m pretty sure she never had the gratification of watching any of them leave her class as theologians, but she faithfully prepared and taught anyway.
She said “Use me” as a friend to me, a fifth-grader, a few years later…and she gave up two evenings just to be an encouragement. She knew I was going through a difficult time and shared from her experience concerning a similar situation that she had encountered many years previous.
She said “Use me” to her aging, terminally ill parents…and then cared for them both right up through their final minutes. She probably doesn’t even know it, but I went to their funerals and was instructed through her example. I was also instructed through the book she wrote about their marriage—which I read when I was in fourth grade!
She said “Use me” to her friend, employer, and mentor, Mrs. Marlene Evens…and cared for her through multiple rounds of chemotherapy and intense suffering.
She said “Use me” to scores of college girls…and then poured her time and energy at their disposal and into their lives.
In all of these cases, Mrs. Tudor said “Use me” to people who would likely never reciprocate. So when she said “Use me” to me last week, I believed her.
Use me at my expense.
Use me in the lives of others.
Use me on other people’s need schedule.
Use me even if I never have the gratification of feeling useful and needed.
Use me however You choose and whenever You will.
Use me. I am wholly at Your disposal. | 2019-04-21T10:09:05 | http://steppinginthelight.com/2012/03/13/what-%E2%80%9Cuse-me%E2%80%9D-really-means/ |

PAN vapor was photolyzed at 248 nm and the NO subscript 2 photoproduct was detected by laser induced fluorescence (LIF). By comparison to the NO subscript 2 production from the photolysis of HNO subscript 3 under identical experimental conditions, we have obtained a relative quantum yield for the production of NO subscript 2. The implications of these results for atmospheric PAN chemistry will be discussed. | 2019-04-26T10:02:36 | https://trs.jpl.nasa.gov/handle/2014/33471 |

This photo gallery is free for personal sites, but for unlimited commercial license it's $179.
The photos at this site, it is claimed, can be used free of charge. However, I have no way of knowing with certainty that permission was obtained from each of the photographers, so I cannot be held liable if you use a photo from that site and it is later determined that the photo is not in the public domain.
Exchangeable image file format (EXIF) is a specification for the image file format used by digital cameras (including smartphones) and scanners. Some cameras store the GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken, which raises privacy concerns.
Stock images at low prices. Make sure to read the license agreement and other terms and conditions. For example, do they automatically sign you up for a monthly subscription? Find out before making your purchase.
Allows you to search from many stock photo sites at once.
I strongly recommend that you do NOT do business with Getty Images. Why? Because for example, let's say that you are working with a client on a website. They tell you that they purchased the photos from Getty Images, or perhaps you mistakely assume that they purchased the photos. So you do some HTML coding, you publish the site, and your name is the contact on the "WhoIs" database. You may find yourself in the highly stressful situation of receiving a demand letter from Getty Images, asking you to pay them approximately ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS per photo. This happens, and if you Google it, you'll see for yourself.
Stock images at relatively low prices, but their parent company is Getty Images (see above), so therefore I do NOT recommend doing business with iStockPhoto.

It's main suggestion is to fool IE by setting line-height to zero for the problem element. Table-layout:fixed sometimes helps. If your div or table row is 900 pixels wide, and you have a 900 pixel wide image taking up the whole width, followed by some text with no "br" tag, that could push the width beyond 900 and break the format. So either shorten or delete the image, or add a br tag.

So I’m not great at nail art but nail glitter – I can do. It’s easy…sprinkle sprinkle.
But my problem is not knowing when to stop. I was that kid who would start colouring in a picture within the lines, then suddenly would enthusiastically start adding glitter and stars and pipe cleaners until I couldn’t even pick the picture up.
Anyway, so I don’t end up dunking my entire finger into glitter, I bought these Canmake Nail Lame Powders in pink and blue.
I didn’t have any kind of design in mind, I just wanted to add some sparkle to a nail and it’s super easy with this product.
The brush is oddly cut at the end…quite messy. I am guessing this is so that there is a natural sprinkly effect, or you can just tap it over your nail.
Either way the brush leaves glitter everywhere no matter how carefully you tap it on your nail. It goes EVERYWHERE. Well ok not everywhere, just the surrounding areas.
To be honest there’s nothing that special about the brush, and the glitter is just glitter. It’s quite fine, but you can easily find fine glitter in a craft store for next to nothing. If there’s one nice thing about this product it’s the handy bottle I guess.
I like this product but wouldn’t buy it again!
Would you use glitter on your nails?
Hah yes I love glitter! My current nails have been sporting a french manicure but with silver glitter tips. I use the liquid glitter usually though…can’t cope with all that loose glitter getting everywhere! Discovered the new nail art range they stock at Superdrug and have bought a few items to try, was quite impressed with the nail art tattoo chains!
wow the glitter’s really cute 😀 it looks lovely with that polish !
But glitter is so hard to remove! | 2019-04-23T14:55:23 | http://cosmetic-candy.com/sparkly-nails-canmake-nail-lame-powder-glitter-review/ |

Many people consider this additional extension a virus, and while it technically doesn't fit the description, it can be an annoyance. In this article, we are going to share a method get rid of it for good.
You are going to begin by quitting Safari Browser if it is opened.
In your Apple Menu, you will find Force Quit. Use this if you can't quit the browser ordinarily.
Alternatively, you may simultaneously press the Command (⌘), Option and Escape keys.
A Force Quit dialogue box should appear. Select Safari, then press the Force Quit button, confirm and close the dialogue box.
If you believe any of the processes are a threat, repeat this process to your heart's content and delete each one.
After this, you are welcome to launch Safari once again but you must press and hold the Shift key and only let go once the browser is up and running. Doing this prevents any of the previously opened pages from loading again.
In the event that you are still seeing pop-ups or it's still opening old pages, you may need to take some additional measures.
Begin by conducting a Force Quit for Safari once again.
If you are connected to the internet via a wireless connection such as Wi-Fi, turn it off as usual. Otherwise, disconnect your Ethernet cable.
Re-run your Safari browser while pressing and holding your Shift key as mentioned in the previous step.
Once here, click Uninstall to get rid of any extensions you cannot recognise. You are also welcome to completely uninstall all of them. They won't affect the way in which your browser normally operates.
After you finish deleting these extensions, make sure you Empty your Trash folder. It's always good practice when if you feel your system has been compromised in any way, to change your password after getting rid of the threat.
It is possible that the threat has spread to other browsers, should you have that problem, see my other post.

Well at long last I did it. I contributed a piece of my code to the FreeBSD ports system, sws. Sws is a small web server for static content written in /bin/sh which should run on any POSIX system.
I first released it on Freshmeat.net with a pointer to it's self served home site at http://prd4.wynn.com:8080/ back in 2005 or 2006. Sometime a couple of years ago someone suggested I roll it into NetBSD pkgsrc, but as I have not had a NetBSD box under my control in a couple of years I decided, what the heck I have a bunch of FreeBSD boxes to test a new port on, so FreeBSD it was.
A quick look at the FreeBSD Handbook and a couple of trial runs and I was ready to submit the port. It was accepted and you can now find it in /usr/ports/www/sws on any FreeBSD system with a current version of ports.
If like me you are running FreeBSD on arm you can visit http://pkg.wynn.com/ which is a small arm box serving packages for arm via sws.
I know there are about 100 installs of sws at a government agency, because I installed it for them, but I know of no others in the wild even though it had some followers on FreshMeat before they shut down. If you are using sws somewhere I would love to hear about it! | 2019-04-24T15:52:04 | http://shaken-not-stirred.tekhq.com/blog/index.cgi?mode=viewone&blog=1427010707 |

UNFPA uses the personnel categories employed across the United Nations system. Within each category, there are different levels, which reflect increasing levels of responsibilities and requirements. The information in this section will help you decide which personnel category, and what level, you fit into. This will be useful when you start searching and applying for jobs.
Click here to learn about UNFPA’s language requirements.
What are Professional (P) and Director (D) positions?
Directors represent the highest level on UNFPA’s career staffing structure. As a Director, you’re expected to manage a team, determine priorities and allocate resources for an entire office or unit.
What is UNFPA looking for in a candidate for a P or D position?
We are looking for someone who is first and foremost absolutely committed to UNFPA's mandate!
Generally, we require that you have an advanced university degree for P- and D-level positions.
Personnel in these categories are normally internationally recruited, meaning that they are hired to work at an office (duty station) outside of their home country. You can expect to serve at different duty stations around the world over the course of your career.
For headquarters and regional office posts, all nationalities are welcome to apply.
General Service roles include administrative, secretarial and clerical support as well as specialized positions such as building maintenance. These positions are crucial the smooth operation of the organization as a whole. The higher the level of the job, the more complex the functions become.
What is UNFPA looking for in a candidate for a G position?
Because General Service staff support the functioning of UNFPA, we are looking for candidates who achieve results in operational, procedural and technical capacities.
A commitment to making UNFPA successful is essential! We want someone who is analytical and can handle routine to complex tasks with dedication.
We also want an excellent teammate who embraces diversity and is eager to provide creative ideas for improving UNFPA processes.
What are National Professional Officer (NO) positions?
NO roles are similar to Professional (P) roles, but they are normally locally recruited, meaning these staff are recruited to work at a duty station in their home country.
NO positions usually have a national context, i.e. functions that require national experience or knowledge of the national language, culture, institutions and systems.
Jobs for National Professional Officers can only be found in non-headquarters duty stations.
What education and work experience do I need for National Professional Officer (NO) category positions?
Normally, it is required that you have an advanced university degree for the National Officer level positions.
UNFPA hires temporary staff internationally and locally for limited periods to perform staff functions for which there is no ongoing, long-term need, for example to replace a staff member on extended leave or to work on a project. Due to the short-term nature of the engagement, staff on temporary positions do not receive the full benefits package received by our regular staff. International temporary positions are normally advertised through e-Recruit. Local positions are often advertised locally.
People are occasionally retained by UNFPA as individual consultants to provide specialized non-staff related functions required by UNFPA on a short-term or intermittent basis to meet a particular requirement. Due to the widely varying needs met by these types of assignments, the means of sourcing individual consultants and the related terms and conditions will vary as appropriate. Some consultancies are posted at unfpa.org/jobs. Others are posted at the country level. Potential candidates may also apply to UNFPA's consultant roster. See more here.
The UNFPA Internship Programme offers a small group of outstanding students the opportunity to acquire direct exposure to UNFPA operations. It is designed to complement development oriented studies with practical experience in various aspects of UNFPA work. Applicants should have an interest in the field of development; ability to adapt to new environments and work with individuals from different cultural backgrounds. Interns work under the supervision of a staff member at UNFPA. The background of the interns is matched with the needs of the organization. See more here.
Candidates for the internship programme are selected on a competitive basis. The profiles of the interns are matched with the needs of the organization. Applicants should be enrolled in a degree programme at an accredited university or in a similar educational programme. Applicants must have written and spoken proficiency in English; fluency in French, Spanish or Arabic is an asset.
Interns do not receive any remuneration from UNFPA. The costs associated with participation in the programme must be assumed either by the nominating institution (which may provide financial assistance to its students) or by the students themselves, who will have to meet living expenses as well as make their own arrangements for accommodation, travel and other requirements. In addition, applicants must have medical insurance for the duration of the internship. Proof of insurance will need to be submitted before the internship begins.
Applicants interested in participating in UNFPA’s Internship Programme at Headquarters in New York should apply through e-Recruit. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. For information about internships outside headquarters, please contact the relevant UNFPA office.
The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme promotes volunteerism to support peace and development worldwide. The UNV programme partners with governments and with UN, non-profit and private sector organizations in order to support development programmes. The UNV programme identifies and engages professionals who can deliver services and fulfill a wide range of specialised tasks to work as United Nations Volunteers.
UNFPA is one of the UN partners which utilizes the services of United Nations Volunteers engaged by the UNV programme to help deliver its mandate.
For more information: If you are interested in learning more about the UNV programme please go UNV’s website (www.unv.org) to see what kind of opportunities are available and to find details on how to apply.
UNFPA also participates in the Junior Professional Officer (JPO) programme. JPOs are sponsored by their government (or in some limited cases a JPO programme-participating government may sponsor a small number of developing country nationals).
The purpose of the JPO programme is to provide young people (normally under 32 years of age) who want to pursue a career in development assistance with professional experience within the United Nations system.
UNFPA sometimes engages personnel in its field locations as non-staff service contract holders. Service contract holders are often not located in a UNFPA office but with an implementing partner. Service contracts are issued in increments from 6 months up to one year.
Service contract holders must be nationals of, or hold a work permit in, the country of employment. Typically, they work in support of the project activities of implementing partners, provide a government with additional personnel with technical or operational skills, or support functions that would normally be outsourced to a company (e.g., janitor, gardener).

The head of the hotel company’s loyalty program, Mark Vondrasek, describes its approach to technology, guest loyalty, and disruptive new competitors.
Guest loyalty has always been important to Starwood, but a few years back we began to get far more granular in how we approached it as we studied the profitability of our guests in side-by-side comparisons. We found, for example, that the top 2 percent generated 30 percent of our organization’s profits—an incredibly high concentration. We also learned that the “platinum” members of our loyalty program—Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG)—are many, many times more profitable than guests who aren’t SPG members. Analyzing the data was eye opening, and really pushed us to reexamine how we think about loyalty and benefits.
This led us to modify our program to add “stretch” benefits, so that no matter what program status a guest has reached there’s always a carrot—for instance, the ability to reach lifetime platinum or gold status. Now, if you miss a target by a handful of nights, we absolutely consider your prior-year contribution. These changes were successful, and led to exactly the sorts of results we hoped for. But a bigger lesson was that we heard what our guests were really saying to us, which was: “The way most loyalty programs do things is upside-down compared with the way we think about loyalty in our own lives. It’s got to be more reciprocal.” This also helped push us beyond our traditional views of customer segmentation and loyalty.
Our guests’ expectations about service and what constitutes a good experience have increased considerably in recent years. Mobile technology has a lot to do with that. People use their phones for everything—the devices connect to some of the most personal aspects of our lives. With that comes a heightened expectation about what companies like ours should be able to do. We look for ways to turn these expectations into opportunities—for example, by adding functionality to the SPG app so that guests can bypass the line at check-in and use their mobile phones or Apple Watches as a room key. It’s not technology for technology’s sake, but rather to solve a true pain point.
The changing environment has also brought disruptive new competitors—most notably, the shared-economy companies like Airbnb. In part, I view them as the latest example of a group of companies that has always existed to get between us and our guests.
These shared-economy companies are a powerful motivator because they didn’t even exist a few years ago. I have great respect for them. They’ve gone from zero to scale very quickly. For us, this drives home the importance of agility and the ability to pivot and be quick. The days of five-year plans are over—now it’s “what are we doing in the next five months?” The reason we created an SPG app for Google Glass, for example, wasn’t that we suddenly expected to get 20 percent of our bookings through it. We just wanted to partner and move nimbly so that if wearable technology takes off, we will know how to be relevant, present, and first in that space.
Ultimately, the new competitors validate our strategy of personalization and of truly understanding our guests so well that they don’t want to unplug from the infrastructure we’ve built for them. I want to make the SPG app the place where you let me know when you’re getting off the plane, when you’re running late and you really want a Diet Coke and a Cobb salad waiting in your room, and when you want us to open the business center early or leave the fitness center open late. Those kinds of advantages will help us not just weather this latest foray into disruption but also thrive in it.
A lot of our technology initiatives and bets come straight out of insights we’ve taken from guests, who are constantly challenging us to understand their unique needs each time they travel. Ironically, a key way we do so is fairly retro and nontechnological—our “ambassador” program, which gives our most valuable guests a single point of contact. Ambassadors are specially trained associates in our contact centers who handle all of a guest’s travel needs and provide a human connection to our organization.
They also provide an important feedback loop. Ambassadors have an incentive to catalog and bring forward the ideas and opportunities that bubble up through their conversations with guests. They meet together twice a month in peer groups to talk and share experiences. From these meetings, it can be pretty easy for us to spot pain points and start piecing together opportunities.
For example, one thing the ambassadors heard was “I don’t understand. I travel from the United States to Europe, and my flight gets in at 7:30 AM. If I’m so important to you, why do I have to wait until 3 PM to check in?” Feedback such as this ultimately led to a benefit called YOUR24, which lets guests name their own check-in time for any trip. As simple as that sounds, it’s a big differentiator for folks who travel internationally. By personalizing the service, we establish closer relationships with our guests and make it less likely they’ll go elsewhere.
The program also benefits our contact-center employees. One thing we had struggled with before was the “pyramid effect”: if you were talented on the phones and wanted to progress, you pretty much had to become your supervisor. Now, we have new opportunities for these employees. We’ve even created paths from the ambassador program to sales roles in our various properties—something that didn’t exist five years ago. As a result of all this, turnover in our contact centers went down and employee satisfaction went up.
Strategic partnerships are another way we’re working hard to cement loyalty. It’s really about creating “stickiness” across an entire spectrum of needs. We’ve heard guests say, for example, “I don’t just get dropped out of the sky and into your lobby.” That observation led to the creation of our program with Delta Airlines. Crossover Rewards, which we launched 18 months ago, creates ties between Delta’s loyalty program and ours and also involves benefits sharing. We recognize Delta frequent flyers in our hotels with certain benefits, and the airline does the same for our priority guests. The potential advantages are large. For our part, we have seen significant incremental revenues in our North American hotels from the program’s first year.
I think partnerships such as this will be increasingly important and that big, like-minded companies can create powerful synergies when they come together. Moreover, I believe the triangular relationships these partnerships create will be harder for others—including the shared-economy players—to emulate.
Of course, synergies happen with small companies, too. For example, one of our properties in Cupertino, California, recently worked with a Silicon Valley start-up to introduce a robotic butler that provides room service.1 1.See John Markoff, “‘Beep,’ says the bellhop,” New York Times, August 11, 2014, nytimes.com. Now, do I think that robots are going to take over hotels in the next few years? No. But does something that’s fun and a little “technology forward” work in Cupertino? Yes. At the end of the day, when new technologies emerge—and we can use them to delight our guests—we’re going to be first. We’re going to play in those spaces. We’re going to learn.
And can you imagine telling your wife or husband, “You’ll never guess what delivered my toothpaste last night”?

Lizzie Armanto is the first female skater to complete the gravity-defying stunt.
Twenty years ago legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk completed a gravity-defying 360-degree ramp – The Loop.
The Loop is infamous for its difficulty and the 50-year-old has praised it as a “badge of honour in the skate world”.
Now that badge has just been earned for the first time by a female skater, Lizzie Armanto – take a look.
If that spectacular trick wasn’t impressive enough, in the next video posted by Hawk he explains some of the history behind The Loop, which he first came across from pictures of failed attempts in a magazine.
Hawk himself hasn’t completed The Loop for 15 years, last doing so on tour in 2003, and has injured himself many times trying it, once breaking his pelvis.
“It’s hard to explain it,” Hawk said. “If you’ve done it, you’ve checked it off the list. I’m not going to get the same gratification.
Hawk’s latest adventure with The Loop was part of a live virtual reality broadcast in San Diego with NextVR, which allowed viewers to watch the skaters in 3D.
None of the skaters Hawk invited to try The Loop had completed it before, and included in the group was Felipe Nunes, a teenage double-amuptee – seen here practising with stunt pads.
Hawk said they use pads “so people can start to get used to the timing and feel of doing it in its natural state”.
“If you don’t know what you’re doing and you go at it without ever trying it and there are no pads in place, it can be very dangerous,” he said. | 2019-04-25T03:00:26 | https://www.independent.ie/world-news/and-finally/watch-a-woman-complete-tony-hawks-famous-skateboarding-loop-37256819.html |
DOBOVA, SLOVENIA (BosNewsLife)– Christians are among record numbers of refugees rushing to Europe despite questions whether the European Union’s pledged assistance can come quickly enough to make a difference as winter sets in.
Slovenia’s Prime Minister Miro Cerar has even warned that if some immediate and concrete actions on the ground is not delivered within the next few days and weeks the European Union and Europe as a whole will start falling apart.
His tiny nation of some two million has been swamped by more than 60,000 migrants in a matter of days, including here outside the village of Dobova near the Croatian border.
Among them Christian Syrian refugee Baraa Abdulhad, who spent part of her life in the Netherlands and now wants to return with her husband, brother and two children after their home was bombed.
“I don’t know what will happen to us. We are afraid that our children will die because of the cold and a lack of food,” she told BosNewsLife.
Riot police could be seen throwing only some water bottles from a hill to an anxious crowd. “I already said this is the end. We may never reach The Netherlands,” she said crying.
She explained that as a member of the Christian minority in Syria she already experienced difficulties as the Islamic State militants in her words threatened to kill all Christians for not wearing the hijab, a veil that covers the head and chest.
As a teenager Baraa Abdulhad was deported along with her Christian family from the Netherlands by Minister of Immigration and Integration Rita Verdonk, departing having lived there for years and the known dangers faced by devoted Christians in Syria.
And after more than 20 days of walking and spending at sea on a dangerous boat she has not lost her faith in Christ, she explains.
“I trust God and thank Him,” she said, speaking on a muddy field with a child in her shoulder.
Amid the chaos, many families are separated. Slovenian Red Cross volunteer Mojca Harmandic struggles to reunite them. “We found about 15 families, but that its better than nothing,” she says.
“A lot remain missing. It happens for instance when they cross the border and a wife and kid take the bus the husband continues walking. So many [are] lost,” Harmandic explains.
More family tragedies are expected: Croatian police said Monday that more than 13,000 migrants arrived from Serbia in the past 24 hours, while Slovenian police reported nearly 10,000 arrivals from Croatia in the same period.
Further west, some 3,500 people had to sleep outside in Austria in cold fall weather, while Germany said it had seen 15,000 arrivals in one weekend. | 2019-04-21T08:13:15 | https://www.religiousfreedomcoalition.org/2015/11/06/new-europe-christians-among-record-numbers-of-refugees-fleeing-to-europe-as-cold-sets-in/ |

The fall of a meteorite is an unusual event - especially a witnessed fall that hits a mailbox. As a matter of fact, this is the only recorded "mailbox strike".
"At approximately 22:30 U.T. on Monday, December 10, 1984, the skies were partly cloudy over southeast Georgia, U.S.A. and it was preparing to rain. In the late twilight sky, Vietnam veteran, Don Richardson had just stepped out of his mobile home. A whistling noise, reminding him of an incoming mortar round, made him flinch instinctively. Thirty-six meters from where he was standing an object impacted with a loud bang. It struck a mailbox, knocking it to the ground."
Claxton is classified as a Stone, L6 chondrite. The interior is light gray in color with visible concentrations of metal.
A single stone weighing 1455.0 grams, measuring 105 x 97 x 82mm was found.
As with the Peekskill car, the Claxton mailbox has achieved more notariety than the actual meteorite. | 2019-04-19T19:11:58 | http://www.meteorlab.com/METEORLAB2001dev/labphoto/Claxton.htm |
If you had to name a city with a longstanding and thriving trail culture, Lincoln, Nebraska, may not come to mind, but perhaps it should. The city currently boasts 131 miles of multi-use trail; to help put that in perspective, Portland and Minneapolis, two cities long touted as bicycle friendly, have 152 miles and 92 miles of off-road trail, respectively. One of the cornerstones of Lincoln’s network, the MoPac Trail (consisting of the seamlessly connected West and East segments) begins at the University of Nebraska campus in the heart of the city and stretches eastward 27 miles, just shy of Omaha’s doorstep.
“I think you’d be pleasantly surprised if you came here and experienced the trail opportunities that Lincoln offers,” says Dan Schultz, resources coordinator for the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District, which manages the MoPac Trail East.
Exciting change is literally afoot in the Cornhusker State. Omaha currently ranks among the top 50 of America’s Best Bike Cities, and less than a dozen miles separate its trail system from Lincoln’s. The MoPac Trail, which will join them, is also a key piece of a bigger puzzle, the developing Quad State Trail, a regional network which will span more than 700 miles in four Midwestern states: Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and Missouri. The momentum to close that gap between the state’s two largest cities and tie in to the larger system is built upon efforts that go back decades.
In 1989, the citizens of Lincoln voted 3-to-1 in favor of a bond issue to support the city’s burgeoning trail system. As an editorial in the Lincoln Journal put it, the result “reaffirms the responsible desire of Capital City residents; they want to maintain theirs as an unusually progressive and attractive community, being willing to pay for it.” Keep in mind that this was not too long after Rails-to-Trails Conservancy opened its doors in 1986 at the cusp of the rail-trail movement.
“It started the whole trail system in Lincoln,” says Great Plains Trails Network (GPTN) Founder Elaine Hammer of the bond initiative. GPTN, an all-volunteer organization, has since raised approximately $3.75 million over 25 years for local trail projects, including the MoPac.
In fact, Hammer and a handful of others believed in the trail’s potential so strongly that they mortgaged their own homes to help purchase the abandoned Missouri Pacific Railroad (MoPac) corridor when it came up for sale. Trail advocates had been burned a few years earlier when they were outbid by opponents in an attempt to purchase a portion of another nearby rail corridor, the Rock Island Railroad, and were determined not to lose another opportunity.
Today, the MoPac Trail offers that perfect mix of urban connection and rural escape. Through Lincoln, the trail is paved. It then becomes finely crushed limestone as it leads travelers out of the city and through picturesque countryside, native tallgrass prairie dotted with wildflowers, and lush woodlands. Schultz describes it as a “linear habitat” with turkeys, deer, rabbits, songbirds and other wildlife commonly sighted.
“That aroma follows you,” says nature lover Kathy Newberg of the fragrant wild plum thickets that bloom along the trail in late spring. Newberg, chair of the Nebraska Horse Council’s Trails Committee, has made jelly out of the fruit and says that mulberries also provide a sweet trailside snack. Large cottonwoods, oak trees and sumac, the latter of which turn bright red in the fall, add to the trail’s allure.
The passionate support of Newberg’s group keeps the equestrian trail that parallels the MoPac in tiptop condition. The grassy horse trail begins at the trailhead at 98th and A streets just outside of Lincoln and follows the rail-trail for almost its entire distance. A few times a year, you’ll see volunteers out there with clippers, handsaws and an assortment of other tools to keep overgrowth at bay.
“I like to turn around and look back to see what we’ve just cleared and how good it looks for riding,” says Newberg, who rides horses on the trail two to three times a week.
Like a carrot on a stick, the beautiful Lied Bridge is a tantalizing attraction that awaits the next step of the MoPac project. The pedestrian bridge stretches 1,714 feet across the broad swath of the Platte River, which divides Lincoln and Omaha. A remnant of the Rock Island Line, the bridge is a reminder that if the rest of that corridor had been saved, a rail-trail connection between the two cities—from the trail’s current terminus at the small community of Wabash to the river—would have been possible. Without it, trail advocates are looking at more challenging alternatives.
The fanfare of that trail bridge opening inspired Ben Cohoon to begin the Market to Market Relay, a running event that spans 78 miles along trails and roads between the two cities, which has sold out every year since its inception in 2008. Now the nation’s largest daylong relay with more than 4,000 registered runners, the event generates an estimated annual economic impact of nearly a half-million dollars from spending at local restaurants, lodging and retail outlets, and continues to build awareness and momentum for completing the trail system.
Another beloved event utilizing the MoPac is the Tuesday Night Nacho Ride, which takes place weekly from May through October. What began with just a handful of people a few years ago now averages about a hundred participants a night, with riders traveling from Lincoln to the One Eyed Dog Saloon in the old railroad town of Eagle.
The Nacho Ride is something that local resident Matt Olson is looking forward to tackling this year with his 13-year-old daughter. “It’s a 20-mile round-trip so it’s been a stretch for Lyndsay, but I’m hoping we can do it this year!” says Olson.
For Greathouse, too, the incentive to develop and support these trails is a personal one. “I biked across Nebraska with my son when he was a teenager, and those are the fondest memories I have in my life."
May's Trail of the Month is made possible by Wilderness Voyageurs, providing award-winning bike tours that offer history, exercise, social connections, and tons of fun.
Trail website: The MoPac Trail East is managed by the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District; the MoPac Trail West is managed by the City of Lincoln Parks & Recreation Department.

Start point/end point: The MoPac Trail West begins on the University of Nebraska’s Lincoln campus and heads east, connecting seamlessly to the MoPac Trail East, which ends at 322nd Street in the community of Wabash.
Surface type: The MoPac Trail East is crushed limestone; the MoPac Trail West, which lies within Lincoln, is paved with concrete.
Uses: Walking, biking and cross-country skiing, as well as inline skating on the paved portion within Lincoln; wheelchair accessible. An equestrian trail parallels the MoPac Trail East from 98th Street just outside of Lincoln to the community of Elmwood.
Getting there: Lincoln Airport (2400 W. Adams St.) is about five miles from the MoPac Trail West’s beginning on the University of Nebraska’s Lincoln campus.

Well you long to get away, and we all will get away… one day. If you’re lost inside that day, let your mind go there today… but don’t stay. Your desire grows by the day to escape your present ways… but you stay. All your things are packed away, the arrangements have been made… so you wait. Though your loved ones left to stay, don’t you take the easy way. | 2019-04-19T08:51:05 | https://mocksuns.com/track/getaway |

This is the setting for the Seoul Central Police Station, where On Joon-young (Seo Kang-joon) and the rest of Violent Crimes Team 3 are based at in The Third Charm / The 3rd Charm (제3의 매력) (JTBC, 2018). In episode 5, Lee Young-jae follows Joon-young back to the station after she finds out why he hadn’t been picking up her calls. She finds his jealous outburst endearing (or “cute”, in her words), and kisses him in front of the station. This melts the pouty Joon-young slightly, and he offers to give her a ride.
Cheongwon Police Station [충북청주청원경찰서] is a police station that serves Cheongju’s neighbourhood of Uam [Wooam-dong/Uam-dong/우암동] in the Cheongwon District [Cheongwon-gu/청원구].
You’ll have to take a bus from Cheongju’s Central City Bus Terminal [센트럴시티터미널] that heads towards the Cheongju Terminal North Bus Stop [청주여객북부정류소]. The journey from Seoul will take about 1hr 40mins. Once you alight at this stop, the police station is very close walk — a 2 minute walk across the street. | 2019-04-19T09:09:22 | https://koreandramaland.com/listings/cheongwon-police-station/ |
"With my current position I work with public health emergency preparedness for the entire county. Every day I use the skills I learned through the MPH program and see how it touches individuals and the community."
I already had a bachelor’s degree in health science and public health, which introduced me to the field and gave me overall knowledge and experience but I still wanted to learn more. I have always had a passion for health and helping others. This degree was the perfect way to learn more, help others, gain and expand my skills in the field, and do so while having a Christ-centered education.
Many things! A Christ-centered education made all the difference, especially in a program that is centered on helping a large percentage of the community. Not only did I have the face-to-face interactions with colleagues and professors, but I had the opportunity to learn from instructors who had real world experiences and a passion for public health.
I came from a public institution to a private one, and, in comparison, the relationships I formed with the professors at CBU and level of care was amazing. Not only were they passionate about the coursework material but they were very compassionate towards the students. The professors were always very accommodating, looking to help their students succeed in the best way possible. I have never had this level of support before.
Yes, I completed internship hours to complete my degree. I was fortunate to complete my hours at the County of Riverside EMD. My experience was extraordinary. I had the opportunity to put into practice many of the things I learned throughout the program and even some that I was not as familiar with. It was a very rewarding experience that helped me grow as a person, while building relationships with partners in the community.
I grew in so many ways: I matured mentally and spiritually, and I gained experience in the field. This program was challenging in many ways but it taught me to become more organized, prioritize, and to cherish the time you have with others and really be in the moment.
I was very fortunate to land a job in the County of Riverside EMD, where I am still employed today. With the agency, I continue to constantly learn and have even become the department’s health ambassador and training coordinator.
The skills I learned throughout the program translate directly into my personal and professional life. Understanding data, a passion for helping others and the ability to communicate effectively are some of the many skills that I acquired.
That research class will come in handy more than you might think. The ability to understand data and more importantly communicate it to the masses has been a skill that I constantly use.
I walked into this program wanting to gain the skills to help and feel like I am making a difference. I feel I am doing just that. With my current position I work with public health emergency preparedness for the entire county. Every day I use the skills I learned through the MPH program and see how it touches individuals and the community. I see people prepare for disasters, learn what they need, and become more confident and equipped to handle the situation.
Definitely, it is an experience of a lifetime that once accomplished, is rewarding. | 2019-04-20T16:11:57 | https://calbaptist.edu/admissions/graduate/alumni-success-stories/carolina-gonzalez |

The Department of Romance Languages and Literatures focuses on the four most widely used Romance languages – French, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish – and on their cultural and literary traditions around the globe. Introductory Catalan and independent studies in Catalan Literature are also available.
Harvard has offered courses in French, Italian and Spanish since at least the early nineteenth century. Portuguese was added in 1886, Catalan in 2000. In 1900, the Department of French merged with several Romance branches of the Modern Language Department to form the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures.
The RLL curriculum honors both the shared origins of this cultural community and the variety of the directions it has taken throughout history. Examples of fields of study offered in RLL are: modern Italian cinema; early modern French and Spanish theater; the Francophone literature of the Caribbean and Africa; Spanish and Portuguese in their intersections with other languages and cultures in America; comparative studies of the development of Romance languages and cultures.

We all fight with our significant other from time to time. The truth is, fighting is a natural process that every person will go through. No two person are perfect, which is the reason why fights will always arise sometime during your relationship. Even the fortunate ones have occasional fights. Fights are actually helpful in order to maintain your loving relationship. Of course I’m not saying you should pick a fight with your significant other right after you read this. There are things you can do to make sure that the outcome benefits both of you as a whole.
The most important thing that everybody should remember is to never keep emotions bottled up. We all seen the typical situation where a person consistently bottled up their emotions only to explode in the future and cause a huge rift. If your lover does or says something that really bothers you, don’t feel scared to tell them. However, when you do approach them, make sure you use a friendly tone and explain clearly why his or her actions bothered you. For example, you should never tell your significant other “You never call me anymore!” Instead, try something along the lines of, “You know, lately you haven’t been calling me. I know you have been busy recently, but I would appreciate it if you would just take a few minutes to give me a call.” If you go into it screaming and yelling, then an argument will surely ensue. Remember that you should try to diffuse any tension right away, so a small problem doesn’t turn into a disaster. But choose your battles wisely. You don’t want to be too picky and bring up every little minute detail.
If there are times that big problems do arise, try your best to maintain your composure and rationalize. The goal is to solve the problem, not trying to figure out who is at fault. Most of the time, both parties are at fault. If you spend too long arguing over who’s wrong and who’s right, then you’re just wasting time. Focus on the root of the problem. Take turns telling one another what exactly is bothering you, and what you would like the other party to do. Perhaps the most important thing is to listen. You may have a long list of the things you want to say to him or her, but understand that maybe the reason behind it is related to you. Don’t try to talk at the same time, because then no one listens. If you start yelling, then both of you have lost. Don’t be afraid to sleep on it and resolve the problem the next day. Sometimes we need time to reflect on the bigger picture and empathize for the other person. Take a moment to understand your partner’s position and try to come up with a solution that will be beneficial for the both of you.
Always apologize. Like I said before, whenever an argument arises, usually both parties are at fault. Even if in the rare chance that the fault lies entirely on one party, there might have been barriers that caused interference. Apologizing does not mean that you are wrong. It’s a way to tell the other person that you care about them, and you want to work on improving the relationship between the two of you. Two simple words goes a long way to resolving conflicts. Even if you think you didn’t do anything wrong, you can still say, “I’m sorry if you misunderstood my actions. In the future I will try to express myself more clearly.” Of course you should be genuine with your apologies in order for it to work.
If all else fails, you can always kiss and make up. Granted you didn’t do anything extreme like cheat, you can always give your partner a great big kiss and hug him or her tightly. This will create a more peaceful situation and allow you to calmly discuss the problem. Lighten the mood will create a healthy environment for communicating. Both of you will be more relaxed and open to suggestions. We are more willing to listen when we are calm and level-headed.
Every couple has arguments. Fighting is not a sign of weakness, rather it is an opportunity to strengthen your bond together. After a fight, we realize that we learned something about the other person that we didn’t know before. Gradually, we learn to mold our behavior and actions to create a stronger love. Remember that a relationship involves two parties. Communication also involves two parties. Take a moment next time to listen and understand each others’ viewpoint.

Monday 31st August: Today we went on a school trip. We went to Gossabrough to see The Haa where John Robertson the mapmaker was born. We are learning about him before an exhibition of his maps of Jamaica comes to the Shetland Museum. The house is a ruin now.
We then drove through Cullivoe to get to Gloup where we went to look at the Gloup memorial; this commemorates a fishing disaster that happened in 1871. We are learning about that and Da Haaf.
We went and wrote our notes about Gloup before we had our picnic outside Cullivoe School.
After lunch Alec and James at Breckon were kind enough to show us around and let us look at their animals.
Friday 28th August: At lunchtime today, David, our neighbour, came round because they had just found a hawkmoth in their park and thought we would be interested to see it! We could see how well camouflaged it was against the wall.
This afternoon we were very pleased when letters arrived from Shetland Library for 2 of our pupils telling them that they have been commended for their entries into the Young Writers' Competition! They both had lovely comments from the judges.
Thursday 27th August: This morning we went for a walk to the Marina to have a look at the different modern boats there are down there so we could compare them with some of the old fishing boats we are learning about this term. Whilst we were there John pulled up a creel so we could have a look to see what had been caught. There were 3 lobsters and a lot of crabs!
Tuesday 25th August: Today we pulled up some of our cauliflowers because the hearts looked ready to eat. We haven't had a very good crop this year either from the ones we grew from seed or the little plants we put in. We pulled up a white beetroot and some salad leaves as well. Elsie prepared the beetroot so we could have it for lunch - although it was white it tasted just like a red one!
Monday 24th August: This morning P1/2/3 were learning outside with the farm.
Friday 21st August: Last term we thought it would be good to have a den in the school grounds. Over the summer we have bought a tarpaulin and some fence posts to make it. We decided to open up the tarp this afternoon to check how big it is. It was sunny but quite windy; we had fun making sure it didn't blow away!
In the afternoon we dug up the first of our tatties to see what they were like - we think we may have a reasonable crop.
Thursday 20th August: This afternoon we went to Mid Yell for PE; the older ones went swimming. This year we will have a new librarian: Karen Malone; she will start in a few weeks.
Wednesday 19th August: Today was the first day of the session for everyone. We took a picture of everyone by the zipline.
This afternoon we went down to the Old Haa to have a look at Matthew Ronald's exhibition and to go into the garden.
The garden is doing better now there has been a bit of sun. We have some peas and broad beans and the poppies are looking beautiful! | 2019-04-21T17:16:56 | http://www.burravoe.shetland.sch.uk/news/August2015.shtml |
TWO care homes in Clacton have been praised for their food hygiene standards.
Corner House, in Wash Lane, and Corner Lodge, in Meadow Way, Jaywick, have both achieved the top rating – five stars – as part of the new Food Hygiene Rating scheme, which Tendring Council signed up to earlier this year.
This rating reflects the findings of the council’s food safety officer’s inspection of the kitchens, other food preparation areas, dining rooms, food handling practices of the staff, and food storage practices of the care homes. | 2019-04-20T00:27:54 | https://www.clactonandfrintongazette.co.uk/news/10838635.Clacton_care_homes_praised_for_hygiene_standards/ |

SPACE SCHOOL is being developed as an initiative for Canadian K-12 students and teachers to promote and inspire space-related education. There is enormous excitement and opportunities in space for schools to grasp in terms of related curriculum as well as hands-on space projects for students to be involved with. Space-related education connects curriculum from many areas such as STEM, Coding, Robotics, Trades, Engineering, Design Thinking, Maker, Science, Math and more. SPACE SCHOOL hopes to help bring those connections directly to students in classrooms across Canada by providing educators with new space-related projects and opportunities. At the same time students can learn about the great contibutions that Canada has made to space exploration and science. SPACE SCHOOL will work to grow and gain supporters and educators to bring exciting new space projects and online presentations for Canadian students. | 2019-04-25T18:10:10 | http://www.spaceschool.ca/ |

With help from the Log Files of Joe Fortson.
Andy Stuart, sitting in the co-pilots position had to agree. Bart was nothing if not self reliant and after however long it had taken to get out of the mountains the direct route best suited his character.
So what would you do Joe?,” Andy asked.
“It’s like this, two months have gone by and not a sign. I kick myself for not looking harder, but any of the close in signs, and by that I mean fire pits, will be hidden by all the new growth. Just cause we found the lander where we did doesn’t really mean Bart and the others passed the same way. But I think it likely. Bart would have followed the river as far as it could take him.
“The one thing I am sure of is he would have known the direction he needed to head in to get back to Liberty City. So—We found the Dora in the river, the river flows south. Bart would follow the river as far as he could till it gave out is what I would bet on. If he cut to the coast it would have been later.
Andy took one side of the stream and I took the other. Two months ago with the end of the spring run off there must have been much more water. Even so an hour later Andy found the evidence we had been hopping for. So what now? Let’s think about it.
Ash came up with the plan we went with. He said, and it was obvious afterwards, that if any of the survivors had a good communicator we wouldn’t be here now. So if any radio communication was possible it would be short range at best. Less than ten miles in a straight line distance. Neither Andy or I could take exception.
That’s what we did. Sweeping south we came across a several hundred yard burned off area not yet overgrown and thought it likely the sign of a blast rifle discharge but it was old enough that it didn’t help with the course plan other than to let us know we were on the right track.
Andy summed up the situation pretty well; “We can crack enough O and H off of the forth wheel to keep the shuttle in the air 20 hours a day. We don’t need H-3 to stay atmospheric so we won’t stress the Mayflower for fuel.
J.J. Parker had almost insisted he come with us on every flight, and then he took a turn in the rotation command. Not sure why, must have been some personal beacon going off. Trying to prove somethin to himself? It made some kind of sense. He was one of the vast middle of colonists.
Parker did his work in town, mostly building things, often with John Pierce as a partner, and made sure his parents Hanna and Jules Sr. were looked after and the First Inn was doing well. It was rebuilt even better than before. Linda, his wife, was building up points of her own as a medtech and their children were not much different from any of the others. The oldest, Emily might be the first to bear a child on Alchiba. I think he felt he had to do more.
All of the news about the ship coming in and the aliens, guess I shouldn’t call them that; we are the aliens. It still took second seat to finding Bart.
We had the room and J.J. had qualified as a pilot, though I wouldn’t have wanted to have him do anything beyond takeoffs, landings and holding a course between. All of the things we had learned in the last few days were in the back of our minds but finding Bart and Janie were paramount.
The Jeep and EmyCee worked for three hours before the sun went down to bring in the fuel. It was a blaze that if not in a clearing would have set the woods afire. Just a bit before midnight lights arched across the sky and the close range communicator built into Laura’s comp unit signaled a message.
“They found us,” Laura said, jumping for joy.
“Are you sure?” Mike Reye asked.
“Let’s see what you got?” Bart asked.
Before Laura had a chance to answer the lander from Liberty City set down in the clearing and Joe Fortson ran out the door.

I flew back from a business meeting in Denver and got stuck in Sea-Tac airport Friday night into Saturday morning. First, my flight was delayed and I missed my connection. Then, the fog rolled in thick. The last flight of the night was held up. If it did take off and couldn't land in Bellingham, very close to Canada, then it wouldn't be able to land back here either, we were told. That would ex out Vancouver airport as well. If we took off, there was a good chance we'd wind up in Portland, Oregon for the night.
It mightn't have done much good anyway. A lady in the baggage line had been scheduled for the same flight. Alaska re-booked her for late Saturday night. That was doing her no favors. She was stuck for lodging that night and on another flight that was very likely to get canceled by this season's abnormal pea soup.
A sane person would’ve called it a night at that point, gone to a hotel, sorted it out in the morning. But sanity is not the right word for where I was at that point. Denver's dryness and the recycled in-flight air had mucked up my chest and head. Middle seat stress-position sitting aggravated the bad knee. Adrenaline from the mad search for some way to get home turned the legs into throbbing Jello.
I found an airport chair, sat down hard, eventually cracked the laptop. The airport shuttle that had already chiseled $37 out of me still looked like the best bet. Bus out of Sea-Tac at six in the morning, in Bellingham by 8:30. No trip canceled on account of fog. As long as you booked the ride at least five hours in advance, the site said, you should be good. Rather than give me a confirmation number for the driver, the amateurish page said an email would be along “WITHIN 12 HOURS” or, possibly, well after the bus had taken off. Thus kicking off the whole vicious cycle again.
Mucus in my chest tried to hack its way onto the airport's polished concrete floor in protest. Deep breaths turned into wheezes and the wheezes were a real puzzle. They sounded violent, out-of-body and, somehow, childlike. Finally, I turned around to see an infant in a stroller who’d also been wheezing, more or less in rhythm with my own efforts. Poor little guy. And poor mom. And poor guy trying to catch some shut-eye on the hard floor over there in the corner. Poor anyone stuck at the airport at that hour.
Just shy of two o'clock, hunger pangs made the vending machines—the only source of sustenance in the building until the shops opened later—seem like a really good idea. An awkward, talkative Asian teen was hovering about the machines, looking hungry. He asked me some questions about airport security, and then told me about the bums he'd observed sleeping in the airport some nights. He said his mom had kicked him out of the house. He'd spent the last few weeks staying where he could at nights: friends' houses, on buses, at the airport.
It's possible this was a sob story to con money, yet it seemed more like the kid was just bored and tired and hungry and wanted to bend the ear of somebody who’d acknowledge his presence. Wish I could report that I stuck around to hear him out, or that I slipped him a $20 or even told him “Jesus loves you.” But it took every bit of restraint I had just to not bite his head off. I did give him half of the chocolate covered donuts that I got out the machine, and he perked up. It wasn't much, but at that hour it was about all that I had to give. | 2019-04-19T20:38:44 | https://www.splicetoday.com/writing/hell-is-an-airport-at-two-in-the-morning |

by Gary Bauer, Contributing Author: Obama's Really Bad Deal - U.S. and Iranian diplomats may be on the verge of a breakthrough in talks over Iran's nuclear program. According to the Associated Press, this "breakthrough" would reportedly "let Iran keep much of its uranium-enriching technology but reduce its potential to make nuclear weapons. . . .the proposal could leave most of Iran's nearly 10,000 centrifuges in place but reconfigure them to reduce the amount of enriched uranium they produce."
If accurate, it would be a really bad deal. The point of these negotiations should be to prevent Iran from going nuclear and threatening the United States, our allies and particularly Israel.
This deal could make Iran a "threshold nuclear power." As the AP acknowledges, "Experts warn that any reduction in centrifuge efficiency is reversible more quickly than a straight decrease in the number of machines."
This AP report explains why Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu jumped at the opportunity to address Congress. It also explains why Barack Obama and his left-wing allies in Congress are doing everything they can to prevent Netanyahu from speaking.
Sadly, anti-Israel sentiment on the political left is spreading quickly. Politico reports that "dozens" of Democrats, seeking to "balance publicly supporting Israel with backing Obama," are siding with Obama and threatening to boycott Netanyahu's address. Even Vice President Joe Biden won't say whether he will attend the speech.
Meanwhile, Obama and Kerry have been negotiating with themselves, making concessions to the mullahs day after day after day. A year ago, experts said that a serious deal would require Tehran to reduce the number of its operational centrifuges to 2,000. After months of negotiations, it appears we're getting next to nothing and that Iran has prevailed.
For the United States, a nuclear-armed Iran significantly complicates our relations in the Middle East. Sunni Arab nations like Egypt and Saudi Arabia will undoubtedly feel the need to develop their own nuclear weapons programs. But for Israel, a nuclear-armed Iran is an immediate existential threat.
Jordan Responds To Brutal Murder - Jordan responded yesterday to the brutal murder of its pilot who was burned alive by ISIS jihadists. As promised, the kingdom executed two Al Qaeda-linked terrorists this morning, including Sajida al-Rishawi.
Rishawi, a female suicide bomber, participated in a 2005 attack in Amman, Jordan, that targeted hotels frequented by Israelis and Westerners. She and her husband walked into a hotel ballroom during a wedding, but her suicide vest didn't work. Her husband's did and 38 people were killed.
I doubt the release of yesterday's video was a coincidence. King Abdullah II was in Washington meeting with President Obama. The video was likely meant to embarrass the king. Instead it enraged him.
While speaking to members of Congress, King Abdullah reportedly quoted Clint Eastwood's character in "Unforgiven." According to Representative Duncan Hunter, Jr., the king vowed to launch more airstrikes than ever before, saying, "The only problem we are going to have is running out of fuel and bullets."
Good for him! If only our president could muster the same outrage and conviction to fight back.
That is how we defeated Hitler's Germany and Hirohito's Japan. You cannot negotiate with an evil like ISIS. (Or Hamas or Hezbollah or Boko Haram for that matter.) ISIS intends to murder hundreds of millions of "infidels." No concessions by the West will satisfy its murderous intentions.

Alhambra’s future voters took their role seriously as part of the 420 residents and students who attended the Kids and Candidates – A Community Engagement Forum on October 11 at Alhambra High School.
More than 100 Alhambra High School students gained inspiration to become more civically involved as they staffed the event, asked issue-based questions and engaged in one-on-one discussions with the three attending City Council candidates.
“This is not your usual candidates’ forum,” said Alhambra Unified School District Superintendent Denise R. Jaramillo, in her opening remarks preceding the candidates’ round-table discussion. “One of the things that makes it unique is that it’s being hosted by students and sponsored by so many community groups.” Forum sponsors included the Alhambra Teachers Association, Alhambra Preservation Group, Alhambra Latino Association, Grassroots Alhambra and Alhambra Source.
The format was also unique. The free event kicked off with a Community Engagement Fair in the Alhambra High School quad, where students and residents interacted one-on-one with the three City Council candidates, enjoyed a lively performance by the Alhambra High School Jazz Band, and visited information tables staffed by school and community groups.
Then the kids and candidates got down to business. Alhambra City Council candidates Katherine Lee and Andrea Lofthouse-Quesada, both running for the First District City Council seat, and Adele Andrade-Stadler, running for the Fifth District, engaged in a robust, politically neutral roundtable discussion, moderated by Tom Hollihan, professor and director of doctoral studies at USC Annenberg School of Communications. Candidates Suzi Dunkel-Soto, Laura Tellez-Gagliano, Ross Maza and Julian Reyes were invited but declined to attend.
Alhambra High School students’ and residents’ questions included the hot-button issues of affordable housing, traffic congestion, bike lanes, need for more green space, historic preservation and a historic preservation ordinance, how to encourage civic engagement in a diverse community, and how to market Alhambra’s cultural assets to visitors. The goal of the Kids and Candidates Forum was to provide students and residents with an opportunity to hear the candidates’ positions on these issues, according to the organizing coalition members.
Mission accomplished, according to the students. “This impacts my perspective on American politics because by hearing what these candidates have to say, it gives not only me but all of us a view into political matters so that when we will be of voting age, it will help shape who we feel can make the best contribution to our world,” said Amanda Tang, 16, a junior at Alhambra High School.
According to feedback from the survey handed out at the end of the event, a majority of the attendees found the forum helpful in their voting decisions, but were disappointed not to hear from all the City Council candidates and felt it was disrespectful of the four candidates not participating.
Weren’t able to attend? No worries. Here’s your chance to watch the forum.

Kids and Candidates, a community engagement forum, will be held on Thursday, October 11, 2018 from 6-8:30 p.m. at Alhambra High School, located at 101 South 2nd Street in Alhambra. The event is free to the public. Spanish and Mandarin translators will be available at the event. For more information, visit the event’s site.
Alhambra City Council candidates and Alhambra school board members have been invited to participate in the pre-election event. The round-table discussion will be moderated by Tom Hollihan, professor and director of doctoral studies at USC Annenberg School of Communications. The event is being co-sponsored by the Alhambra Teachers Association, Alhambra Preservation Group, Alhambra Source, Alhambra Latino Association and Grassroots Alhambra.
Highlights of the event will include an hour, starting at 6:00 p.m. in Alhambra High School’s quad area, where attendees and students can meet with City Council candidates, Alhambra School Board members and Alhambra community groups while enjoying a performance by the Alhambra High School Jazz Band. At 7 p.m., Alhambra City Council candidates will participate in an issues-based round-table discussion in the high school auditorium. Community planning, schools, environmental sustainability, public health and safety, historic preservation, transportation, development and infrastructure are just a few of the topics that may be discussed at the forum.
The goal of the Kids And Candidates Forum is to give Alhambra City Council candidates the opportunity to discuss the various issues affecting Alhambra and provide residents and students with an opportunity to hear the candidates’ positions on these issues, according to organizing coalition members. Given the many issues facing our city, the coalition invites all Alhambrans to attend this event and receive the information they need to cast an informed vote on Election Day.

Managing the files on our computers is relatively easy, but on our phones it’s a little different due to the difference in design of the OS and the way we interact with our devices, which is why file manager apps can come in handy. Last month Google announced Files Go, a file manager app for Android, and the good news is that the app is now available for download.
In an announcement by Google on its blog, they have announced that Files Go is now available to all users on Android.

This is the draft that me and my co-author Zyn had created. It is the second tab. Ignore the first, third, and fourth tabs or I will be disappointed in you.
"It is currently theorized that SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties activate upon being held by a human"
Please read the footnote that accompanies the word "theorized".
Special Containment Procedures: Simple and concise. Not really much to say here, as they're a relatively short part of the whole thing.
Description: The object gets a lot of implied character, for example, the mention of food being transformed into fruits provides an intimate touch, reminiscent of a father cutting fruit for his son.
Given that it says the composition of objects affected by SCP-X remains the same, it'd be weird suddenly seeing a book turn into an origami toy train, or a tablet morph into a very sharp building block.
The part about it working best for "an individual between six to twelve years of age" is good foreshadowing of its backstory.
However, a wall-affixed hand-drawn picture portraying two stick-figure individuals with bow ties holding hands was marked on the bottom with the words "He didn't want to take the wand" followed by a date.
Interviews with the cemetery staff thus far have failed to provide further information on Mr. Sharp and his family, save for a single employee referring to Skylar Sharp as "the little boy with the bow tie".
Overall, I'd upvote in its current form. Good work.
As I am fairly aware that Zyn would like to know "Up or Down vote", as it is, I would downvote the article. But let me elaborate on the draft.
It is currently theorized that SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties activate upon being held by a human.
I also find this odd, but for different reasons. Worded like this, it is implying there are cases whereby the SCP does not need a human to be activated. But I assume that it is supposed to work only when humans hold it, although it does not always work (as Zyn mentioned in chat).
If it consistently works when a human holds it, then it would not be "theorised".
Regarding the diary entries, it is rather boring to read through. I know the spelling errors are intentional, but the quantity of errors make it a chore to go through and a rather forced attempt at backstory. I think you may consider to scale down the entries to one or two.
SCP-XXXX has intermittently failed to manifest any anomalous properties when handled by certain test subjects. As of current data, SCP-XXXX's highest number of successful object transformations (though notably, SCP-XXXX has never demonstrated a 100% success rate with any test subject to date) result when the rod is handled by an individual between six to twelve years of age.
I find this part rather interesting. Are there any underlying factors behind successful use of the SCP? Did the Foundation have some remote idea on the factors? Are there adults who can use the SCP? Are there children who can't use the SCP? I think test logs can be used for this article, to both show a bit of the anomaly's effects and show the factors that allow one to use the SCP?
And consider this food for thought. What if the father can use the SCP perfectly, but not the son (for some reason)? And the son does not understand why his father gave him a fancy-looking rod that does nothing in his hands.
Regarding the Wondertainment connection, it does not feel strong and the article can still function without it. Therefore, I would recommend to either remove it or strengthen the loose name-dropping.
Regarding the recovery, why would Fondation agents decide that this unclaimed item to be worth their time? As far as I can tell from the recovery, it was just an unclaimed item than an anomalous item. Did that agent observe the wand's anomalous properties?
Changes have been made to reflect this advice. Thanks! | 2019-04-20T10:48:43 | http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-1750430/a-draft-for-an-scp |

I'd like to talk to you about Lemonade. Not the refreshing citrus drink, but a grid system I created.
Lemonade is a grid system that was built in order to give designers and developers the confidence to make fully responsive websites, eliminating the frustration of flicking between browsers looking for bugs and errors. Let's look at how it's put together and how you can build your very own responsive grid system.
Before building my own, I often used Skeleton.css for my responsive layouts. However, as time went on, I felt like it was a bit of a lost cause, simply because I was constantly tweaking it to my needs and stripping away unnecessary elements that I felt weren't usable. It's a very good framework, but I would only recommend it to people who aren't comfortable with front-end work, at all.
There are so many grids, frameworks and libraries out there, but picking the right one is a tough decision. The easiest way to decide is by asking yourself "What am I trying to make?" For example: I'm currently building a CMS (mostly PHP) and I don't want to focus on the interface (the admin panel) at all, so I've opted for Bootstrap. Bootstrap is an amazingly comprehensive framework and literally takes care of you during every aspect of the design process.
Let me run you through these objectives in a more detailed manner. I wanted the grid to be tiny, so small that if I ever had to edit it, I wouldn’t be cursing at the screen with frustration. It needed to work on modern browsers (forget IE8 and under); I wanted to remove the scenario of flicking through browsers worrying if everything looks OK. The final objective was all about using it, I didn’t want to make something and just stick it on GitHub and never use it again. If I was going to create something, it would need to be used in every project that I made.
First let's tackle the CSS. Remember the first objective: “Be small, but powerful"
Essentially this is the grid’s backbone; this is what makes the grid function and holds the whole thing together.
Setting border-box with a universal selector keeps us from worrying about the padding of our elements messing with our widths.
Whilst we're on the subject of selectors, the biggest space killer in our grid is the attribute selector. You can see the attribute selctor in action where I've used [class*='bit-']. This targets any elements whose class attribute contains "bit-". We could also have used [class^='bit-'] which targets all elements where the class begins with "bit-". Using an attribute selector to encompass all our various column classes will save us so much time when writing new column widths.
Using the last-of-type selector we can target the last "bit-" element in the group, instructing it to float right, instead of left. This makes sure everything aligns perfectly against the right edge, in supporting browsers.
One common question I hear a lot about Lemonade is: “Why such weird class names?" It’s not an exciting story, I just kept referring to the columns as “bits" in my notes, so it kind of escalated from there. Saying that, I think I subconsciously wanted the classes to be different to the standard "col-1" seen in many other grid systems.
I generated the widths of the columns using a calculator (see, you don’t have to be a math nerd). Calculating the columns wasn't difficult at all, in fact it was really easy. For example, in my grid, each bit is a fraction of the whole width, bit-8 is an eighth. Therefore 100 ÷ 8 = 12.5, so we set the width of each bit-8 at 12.5%.
I thoroughly tested each column section with real content and they all function perfectly on different browsers and devices.
Now, as you can see, the widths are super clean, readable and this is what I initially wanted — you can easily see what’s what and if need be, you can mess around and edit the sizes with ease.
Yes. It looks a bit like a lemon.
These two in combination would be fine.
Making it responsive was pretty challenging, to get it perfect on every device and determine the breakpoints, was extremely frustrating. Let me run you through the code. I chose to work desktop down, rather than mobile first, but it's entirely up to you which approach you prefer.
We could loosely describe this as targeting Landscape Tablet to Desktop (though be aware that device widths are by no means set in stone). This was just as important as the other media queries - why? Because I found the majority of people who own 13" notebooks rarely have the browser full width, they will have it a couple of hundred pixels short of full-width, so what looks good on landscape tablet, must look good on desktop too.
This range I like to think of as targeting mobile to tablet (although, again, defining devices by screen resolution is rocky territory). Why the weird breakpoints? Nothing too crazy, it’s just what worked best — grids are very tedious when it comes to how strict the widths have to be, and I found these breakpoints worked well out in the wild.
The uniqueness of the column sizes was pretty tough to create and this was actually what I spent most of my research on; what do you usually see on desktop that changes dramatically on mobile? Mainly inline content that becomes stacked content - so I had to think what is more than likely going to be placed side-by-side and what will be stacked on top of each other.
This breakpoint addresses what most people would recognise as mobile. I tried to be more creative with setting the widths for mobile, but I felt I needed to keep it basic as I imagine most people aren't looking for some sort of metro layout or anything too crazy like that.
The HTML is super simple and that’s what's great about this grid. To carry on with our example, let’s make a three-grid column (could be a gallery, for example).
There you have it, a three-column responsive and browser compatible gallery. You can, of course, play around with the HTML and make all types of layouts.
Building Lemonade was a big learning curve for me, it taught me that if I’m not comfortable with something then I don’t have to stick around and wait for alternatives - I can create my own!

225 Foxborough Boulevard was a dated, nearly vacant, 48,000 square foot office building located in a ten-acre office park in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The building owner needed a more inviting, open, and contemporary feel for the building and retained NDA’s design services to reinvigorate the building entrance and atrium lobby. The renovation included the replacement of the existing, heavy masonry entrance with a more contemporary curtainwall and composite metal panel system. The existing, two- story, lobby atrium was rejuvenated with new skylights, open cable railing systems, lighting, ceiling, and finishes.

AMD's Radeon RX 460 is the only video card a casual gamer needs.
At the PC Gaming Show in 2015, AMD rolled out the high-end Fury cards. Meant to compete with Nvidia’s 980 Ti, the card came up short. This time around, AMD is refocusing the Radeon line on a market the red team has won over before – builders on a budget.
The top-end RX 480 starts at just $200, and is well equipped for VR and 1440p gaming. The RX 470 starts at $179 and more than holds its own at 1080p. The RX 460, meanwhile, is marketed for “eSports gaming.” That’s may seem vague, but it’s a clear reference to titles like League of Legends and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. These games prioritize high framerates over brilliant graphics.
In any case, the wallet-friendly RX 460 is pushing the bottom end for modern GPUs. At just $109, the RX 460 is about as inexpensive as video cards get before they lose any gaming credibility. Our Sapphire model, with an extremely modest overclock and 4GB of memory, retails at $139.
Is this new card a legitimate choice for players lacking cash, or does is deliver too little even for its bottom-dollar pricing?
AMD’s new platform, Polaris, marks Radeon’s move to a smaller 14-nanometer manufacturing process, as well as the switch from flat transistors to FinFET 3D transistors. We’ll spare you the nitty-gritty, except to note the standout features are greatly improved power efficiency, which results in a 75-watt thermal design power, asynchronous compute support, and a high level of compatibility with both DirectX 12 and Vulkan games. If you’re interested in learning more about Polaris, our Radeon RX 480 review and introduction to the platform are a great place to start.
The RX 460’s particular flavor of the Polaris architecture sports 896 Stream Processors clocked at a 1,090MHz base clock, with a Boost Clock of up to 1,200MHz when thermals and power allows. Users will have a choice of either 2GB or 4GB of 128-bit GDDR5 memory, for a total of 112GBps of memory bandwidth.
Our review unit was a 4GB Sapphire Nitro with a slight overclock to 1,175MHz base and 1,250MHz boost. Despite the technically low-enough thermal design power, it also sports a six-pin PCIe power connection. Technically, the RX 460 can run without an external PCI power connection. That’s great for gamers who have an extremely basic rig, and can’t afford to upgrade the power supply.
The RX 470 and 480 boast at least 2,000 Stream Processors each, and 200 GBps of memory bandwidth, or higher. The RX 460 basically sits at less than half, although its clock speed is higher than the RX 470. On paper, then, its performance looks a lot different than its more expensive cousins.
Its feature set, however, matches the higher-end cards. That means EyeFinity, FreeSync, Crossfire, and DirectX 12.
We tested the Radeon RX 460 in our X99 test system. With an Intel Core i7-6950X, 8GB of RAM, and an Intel 750 Series SSD, our rig is clearly much more powerful than you’d usually expect to see alongside this budget GPU. The upshot to this is that the card will be able to hit its full potential without the CPU bottlenecking it.
The RX 460 average about 46 percent of the RX 480’s performance in the synthetic 3DMark test. That score means it trades blows with the previous generation’s Radeon R7 370, a 2GB card that sits right around $140. That isn’t the most impressive score ever, but it certainly beats out integrated graphics options several times over. It’s also essentially tied with the GTX 960 in the Alienware Alpha R2, which is likely a underclocked version of the GPU, given the Alpha’s small size and power limitations.
We typically consider 60 frames per second to be the goal for most gaming machines, and the RX 460 certainly falls short of that in modern, demanding games, at least with the graphics turned up. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive runs quite well, though, and that’s certainly an eSports-focused game, even if it is a little on the old side.
On the other hand, the RX 460 performs much more admirably with the settings turned down a bit. It averages 62 FPS in Fallout 4, and 123 FPS in Battlefield 4, at medium settings. Most users don’t have the luxury of being able to crank the settings up in every game, and neither will RX 460 owners – but this video card can indeed play modern titles at respectable framerates.
Without hitting optimum performance at 1080p, it’s not worth covering all of the 1440p results. There were a few standouts, however, including 31 FPS average in Fallout 4 at Ultra detail. If you’re comparing console performance to gaming PC performance, even the modest RX 460 beats out the PS4 and Xbox One handily. Those systems usually render at 900p or 1080p resolution and just manage 30 FPS, with some drops in more demanding areas.
Warranty terms will vary depending on the company that makes the RX 460 you choose to buy. Most have a one-year warranty against manufacturer defects. Warranty terms regarding overclocking and third-party coolers can differ significantly from one company to the next, so check that information if you plan to push your RX 460 to the limit.
In our tests, the AMD Radeon RX 460 generally came in just a bit short of the Radeon R7 370. That may sound disappointing, given the R7 370 was already the star of AMD’s previous budget line – but the R7 370 is currently priced from $130 to $160. The RX 460, at $109, is significantly more affordable.
It should be noted, of course, that the RX 460 we reviewed is $140. We don’t think you should buy this particular Sapphire model. The extra video memory is unnecessary and contributes almost nothing to the performance. If you do have $140 to spend, it’s clear the R7 370 with 2GB of memory is where you should head.
Even the modest RX 460 beats out the PS4 and Xbox One.
There’s a definite spot for an ultra-budget card in the marketplace. If you’re looking to build a home system for less than $500, but you want to play the occasional round of Rocket League or Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, the RX 460 will likely be your only option. Its small size and low power requirements are a boon for prebuilt and cobbled-together systems, as well.
Surprisingly, the RX 460 is a reasonable card for 1080p, if you’re willing to accept some restrictions. It can’t play the latest games at the highest detail while maintaining 60 FPS, but it can score above that goal at medium detail in popular games like Fallout 4 and Battlefield 4. Every PC gamer yearns for the best hardware, but if you can’t afford it, you might be surprised by what the RX 460 can do.
We also think the RX 460’s purpose is a lot clearer than the Radeon RX 470. That card is too close to the RX 480 to really define itself, but the RX 460 fits right into small machines, and with some models ditching external PCIe power, it can fit places other video cards can’t.
The RX 460 is the first budget card worth excitement since Nvidia’s 750 Ti, and there’s no shame in that. In fact, it’s exactly what we were hoping to see. | 2019-04-25T22:01:31 | https://www.digitaltrends.com/gadget-reviews/sapphire-nitro-radeon-rx-460-oc-review/ |

Most guitar players spend more time learning "lead" guitar than they do working on their rhythm chops. Whether you're a pro, a weekend warrior or just jam with your buds, you'll play far more rhythm guitar than lead, and have a much better chance of getting and keeping the gig if you can play great rhythm guitar. Top educator and blues-rock maestro Jeff Scheetz presents 50 Blues Rock Rhythms You MUST know!
50 Blues-Rock Rhythm Licks You MUST Know covers licks, riffs and rhythmic patterns in the style of Joe Bonamassa, Jimi Hendrix, SRV, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Allman Brothers, Billy Gibbons, David Gilmour, Keith Richards, Eric Johnson, David Grissom, Robin Trower, Jeff Beck, Johnny Winter, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Van Halen and many of the other kings of the blues-rock six-string.
Scheetz's new handpicked collection of moves will further guide your development of the tools, techniques and vocabulary you'll need to unleash soulful lines and take your blues-rock rhythm playing to the next level; Hendrix-style chordal moves, tasty inversions to spice up a boring progression, right-hand funk, percussive strums, using open strings as drone notes, big stretch chord voicings, essential 12-bar progressions, 5/4 and 7/8 odd time signature licks, using your hand as a human capo, 6/8 grooves, octave shapes, double-stops, syncopation and much, much more. All in all, Jeff shows you how to transform classic rhythms into a fresh, post-modern blues-rock vocabulary.
Get a grip on these 50 Blues Rock Rhythms You MUST Know and you'll possess enough blues-rock firepower to light up Texas, Chicago and everything in between! | 2019-04-22T06:24:58 | https://truefire.com/blues-guitar-lessons/50-blues-rock-rhythms/c50 |
The boss is here and puts everyone in their place: the new BMW X5. Its presence is written all over its face – principled, powerful and elegant. The potent one-piece double kidney gives you an idea of what happens when it takes a deep breath. And the heightened X design of the headlights leaves no doubt about who is in the driving seat. Equipped with the latest technology for more safety and the most advanced driving dynamics on any surface, the new BMW X5 knows how to get you where you need to be. And how to be first to arrive.
The BMW X5 is the embodiment of the X philosophy. Its powerful and compact build, the characteristic X design and the stunning driving dynamics make for a clear statement. Are you prepared?
The BMW X5 incorporates the DNA of the BMW X family. In the fourth generation, when it comes to presence and modernity this model makes the strongest statement ever. It defines a new stylistic vocabulary for the X model – robust, clear and precise.
With the first X5, BMW once again took its pioneering role a step further: The all-wheel-drive newcomer defined a new market segment – the Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV).
The second generation X5 was the first BMW to offer space for up to seven people thanks to the optional third row seats.
In 2013, the third generation BMW X5 continued to make waves with its striking design and numerous innovations with BMW ConnectedDrive.
Since 2018 the fourth generation BMW X5 has left everyone in its wake and once again sets the benchmark of what’s possible. | 2019-04-23T08:35:12 | https://www.bmw.com/en/bmw-models/x5.html |

The Classic Head Half Cent, designed by Mint engraver John Reich, replaced the Draped Bust Half Cent in 1809. On the obverse is a bust of Lady Liberty, facing left. She is wearing a headband which bears the inscription LIBERTY. Liberty is surrounded by 13 stars, symbolizing the original 13 colonies. The reverse features the words HALF CENT, surrounded by a wreath, surrounded by the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Due to lack of demand for this denomination, numerous gaps appeared in this series. From 1812 to 1824, no half cents were struck nor were any issued in 1827 or 1830. Varieties are numerous in this series. Classic Head Half Cents were replaced in 1840 by the Braided Hair Half Cent. | 2019-04-26T03:53:49 | http://www.collectons.com/shop/cat/932/index/0/American-Coins-by-Type-Half-Cents-Classic-Head |

Aside from the independent media remit, our #1 intention here is to get you thinking, talking and hopefully inspire you to take on an active role yourself, perhaps by creating your own website or information portal. This may be by using free blog software, creating your own podcast, Youtube channel, or just by utilising social networks like Facebook or Twitter.
We oppose internet censorship in all its forms, especially through opaque regimes of control, run by elite committees comprised of ‘experts’ drawn from the Silicon Valley, corporate media, foundation and government-affiliated persons. We believe such measures can only lead to a restriction of free speech and expression in a time when those freedoms are more important than ever.
The purpose of our website is to educate, promote learning on geopolitical and social issues, as well as provide much-needed independent commentary, news reporting, including criticisms and critiques of larger corporate and foundation-funded media outlets and their coverage. We also aim to deliver a consistent stream of independent research on subjects and views that are generally not covered in the corporate-owned and foundation-funded media spheres.
The 21st Century is the beginning of a new information epoch and you, the reader, are the freshman class of free and critical thinkers in a new and dynamic information age. In its totality, there is an immense volume of information to be had on the Internet but we truly believe that in this new decentralised, grassroots and egalitarian World Wide Web, the cream will eventually rise to the top but this can only be achieved by keeping this internet ‘neutral’ and free from excessive government and corporate control.
All articles and posts on this website refer to real and factual news content, as well as legitimate opinion and analysis, either in the form of original articles or aggregated news and editorial content. Every post or article contains source links and credits to either primary or secondary reference material.
The editorial policy of 21st Century Wire is simple and resides above partisan politics, political campaigns and the traditional Left vs Right paradigm which we believe only serves to divide people who have more in common than not. 21st Century Wire regularly features opinion and analysis from a range of commentators – from authentic Liberal Left, to Conservative Right, as well as from Libertarian and Constitutionalist perspectives. Rather than aligning our slate with any particular party or ideology, instead we strive to deliver content that addresses specific issues and trends, challenges the establishment’s orthodoxy on a range of issues, and most importantly – looks squarely at power, its architecture, as well as exposing the seeds of institutional corruption. In order to better educate and provide context to our readers, our posts include hyperlinks and excerpts from other authors and news sources online. We will also try to stay within that which can be proven, or at least corroborated by a range of credible sources, or by other rational, logical commentators.
We want to increase reporting and analysis – and that’s where you come in. We rely on our readers’ support to help grow our investigative news coverage across the globe. To our loyal readers — please consider it, we’re just getting started. To our newest readers, we say welcome — donate when you are ready, but until then you can simply dig in and read our articles, and subscribe, share and engage with our growing community of loyal readers.

Don’t let Nerves Sabotage a Young Performer’s Audition!
When people talk about stage fright, they often refer to full-blown deer-in-the-stage-lights, flop sweat anxiety. As an acting coach and teacher primarily for child to young adult performers, I more often see a much milder form that manifests itself during the audition. The nerves reduce a talented actor to giving a flat and uninspiring performance. Don’t let nerves sabotage your audition! Follow these five tips to leave your butterflies outside the door where they belong and land the role your talent deserves.
1. Be very familiar with the dialogue. Young performers often worry that they need to say every word exactly as it is written in the script. Take that burden right off your shoulders! Complete memorization may give some actors confidence, but it is not the main focus in the audition. Instead, focus on mastering the lines well enough so that the script, if you need it, becomes a reference tool instead of a crutch. Veering from the script in small ways is rarely a problem in an audition. Talk to your practice partner to be clear that the goal of running lines is proficiency, not perfection.
2. Make a connection. Confidence in what you are doing in the scene allows you to shift focus away from how you are feeling and toward the rapport you are building with your reader. Make eye contact and react to the reader’s cues. You will notice that the more you connect with someone else, the less nervous you will feel and the better your acting will become.
3. Be pleasant, but don’t worry about pleasing the people behind the table. Young actors are often influenced by their desire to please. Whether that impulse is directed toward a parent, the casting director, or an agent or manager, it is best to ease that burden. Reframe your perspective on the audition. Let it be an opportunity to do the thing you love rather than a judgment of you as an actor. Remember that the casting director genuinely wants you to succeed. And never forget that your parents love you regardless of whether you act on Broadway, in front of the bathroom mirror, or not at all.
4. Own your passion and success. Teen and young adult actors are generally more prone than their younger peers to a crisis of confidence. The rough terrain of going through middle and high school and on to college can take its toll. I encourage you to do two things to minimize these moments of fear and keep them in perspective. First, keep a scrapbook, photo album, or memory box of mementos that connect you to the love and accomplishment you feel about performing. Refer to it often and let it be a source of happiness and pride. Second, continue performing in amateur productions when professional jobs temporarily dry up. Consciously notice how acting makes you feel. Use that understanding to reinforce your confidence at auditions and in all areas of life.
5. Decide who comes with you to the audition. Sometimes it’s best to go it alone and sometimes you do your best with the support of a loved one. Many of my students audition out of their parents view. Talk to your parents if their presence is inhibiting your performance and negotiate a safe and mutual alternative.
Auditions can be nerve wracking but also empowering. You are focusing your initiative and drive on learning the art and putting yourself out there to make your dream a reality. Wow, when you think of it that way, auditions are truly a celebration of you. | 2019-04-19T15:22:52 | https://denisesimoncoaching.com/dont-let-nerves-sabotage-a-young-performers-audition/ |
Ericoides Whitecedar has attractive bluish-green foliage. The scale-like leaves are highly ornamental and turn coppery-bronze in fall. Neither the flowers nor the fruit are ornamentally significant.
Ericoides Whitecedar is a multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with a distinctive and refined pyramidal form. It lends an extremely fine and delicate texture to the landscape composition which can make it a great accent feature on this basis alone.
Ericoides Whitecedar will grow to be about 10 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 7 feet. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 60 years or more. | 2019-04-26T05:04:33 | http://plants.squakmtnursery.com/12230001/Plant/682/Ericoides_Whitecedar |

Salesforce unveiled plans for a new, 61-story Salesforce Tower at 415 Mission Street in San Francisco to expand its worldwide headquarters, and as part of that it’s filed an 8-K form with the SEC with the details of how much it will be investing to do so.
The CRM giant will pay $560 million over a period of 15 years starting 2018 to lease space, with an additional $130 million on top of that for for leasehold improvements, amounting to a total of outlay of $690 million.
Salesforce’s move is also an interesting development considering the ongoing debates about tech workers who live in San Francisco and are accused of putting a strain on the residential market, some of whom do not work in the city itself — resulting in a string of protests around the busses that they use for their commutes. One suggested solution has been to ramp up high-density housing (read: skyscrapers, not unlike the Salesforce Tower), which has its own drawbacks.
Salesforce says it will be taking over half of the 1.4 million square feet available in the building, which being developed by Boston Properties and Hines. Salesforce Tower is being built above the new Transbay Transit Center and will be adjacent to salesforce.com’s current offices at 50 Fremont St. and 350 Mission St. in San Francisco.
The expansion will mean that Salesforce’s SF campus will collectively span some 2 million square feet by 2017.
As a point of comparison, Apple is building a new campus and HQ in Cupertino that will be 2.8 million square feet at an reported cost of $5 billion.
Salesforce says that it is on a hiring spree right now, with plans to hire 1,000+ people in the Bay Area this year, “expanding its footprint as San Francisco’s largest tech employer.” Today, it already employes 4,000 employees in the Bay Area with over 13,000 employees worldwide. | 2019-04-23T12:17:02 | https://techcrunch.com/2014/04/11/salesforce-will-pay-680m-to-expand-its-sf-hq-into-the-new-salesforce-tower/ |
Should You Care About SodaStream's Latest Earnings Beat?
Shares of SodaStream fell Wednesday after the company beat earnings estimates, then popped Thursday when the market changed its mind. What gives?
Mr. Market is putting his wild mood swings on full display this week with shares of SodaStream (NASDAQ:SODA), after the at-home carbonation specialist posted better-than-expected earnings.
Naturally, the Israel-based company fell as much as 4% Wednesday on the beat, before closing down a little more than 2% for the day.
Investors seem to have changed their minds on Thursday, however, and the stock is currently up more than 8% during intraday trading as of this writing.
Let's peer through the smoke and mirrors, then, and see how the company really fared last quarter.
First quarter revenue grew 34% year over year, to $117.6 million, besting the analysts who hoped for sales of $113.11 million. GAAP diluted earnings per share rose 18.8% from the first quarter of 2012, to $0.57, also beating estimates, which called for earnings of $0.54 per diluted share. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased an even more impressive 24%, to $0.68.
When all was said and done in March, consumers in America appear to be using the heck out of their SodaStream systems, as gas refill revenue increased 101%, and syrup unit sales grew 119%. New customers are also jumping off the fence, as soda-maker sales rose an impressive 78% from the same year-ago period.
As fellow Fool Blake Bos noted yesterday, growth was once again led by robust sales in the United States, which will likely soon become SodaStream's largest market.
After all, as I noted in January, SodaStream only really began to make its push into our soft drink-guzzling American homes over the past few years, and the company is doing all it can to command more shelf space in megastores like Target (NYSE: TGT) and Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) by signing new flavor partnerships with companies including Ocean Spray Cranberries, and energy drink specialist eBoost. With less than 1% penetration of the more than 130 million households in the United States, SodaStream still has more than enough room to grow.
Relatedly, inventories increased 4.9% last quarter, to $118.2 million, in preparation for SodaStream's typically busy spring and summer seasons. Management also gave investors a heads-up, saying that inventory levels would likely remain inflated until the new production site is up and running around the end of 2014.
Based on SodaStream's strong start to the year, management also raised its previous revenue and earnings guidance by 2%, and now expects full-year 2013 revenue to grow 27% to just over $554 million, while net income should increase 20% to approximately $52.7 million.
All things considered, there's plenty to like about SodaStream's report, and it looks like the company is firing on all cylinders to start the year. With shares trading at just over 17 times next year's earnings, I think long-term investors who buy today will have more-than-enough reason to break out the bubbly down the road. | 2019-04-19T01:25:36 | https://www.fool.com/investing/general/2013/05/09/should-you-care-about-sodastreams-latest-earnings.aspx |
This is a Trove guide showing you how to earn flux by soloing radiant giants in the sky realm and selling their radiant caches. The technique is pretty simple and relatively safe. You just need a decent DPS character (melee/ranged) with a good number of jumps, wings and a sky realm portal. While doing this, you can also do some dark heart dungeons for radiant shards and mine crystallized clouds to add to your profit. Happy hunting!
I tried this hole-in-the-ground strategy when I first started killing these, but it was on my Ice Sage. That's when I learned that it was possible for giants to fall through the island into the abyss.

Welcome readers to the Christmas Cookie Edition of Recipe Share Sunday... I like to cook, but I love to bake, so the Holidays are a great excuse to breakout all my seasonal cookie recipes I have compiled from my mom's recipe journal and leave the chocolate chip and sugar cookie boringness for the rest of the year - just don't tell my husband that.
First up in this month long edition, we have Chocolate Chip Eggnog Balls. Not only are these little treats super tasty, I love the added variety they give a gifted tin of cookies.
And yes, even though I just publicly outed my inner Martha due to my love for baking, my first installment will be a "no-bake" recipe.
Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, brandy extract, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Beat until creamy.
Makes approx. 3 1/2 dozen. | 2019-04-25T23:45:52 | http://www.strawberryswingandthings.com/2009/12/recipe-share-sunday-chocolate-chip.html |

A library for generating IDs.
If your Object ID is long enough, it can be generated on multiple systems, without worrying about a collision. Using time-based buckets gives us locality for each new ID.
The first half of the ID is a bucket. The bucket is the difference between two unix timestamps. The first timestamp is the beginning of the current year, and the second timestamp is when the method is called. This is more efficient than only using the current timestamp. We will end up with more buckets this way.
The second half of the ID uses the random_bytes function. It is then safely encoded using base 64. We strip away any characters that are unsafe for URLs.
The example below generates 5,000 Object IDs.
You can use multiple IDs to create a base64 encoded incremental ID. You may want to use the user's ID and another primary key from a relational database to create a unique incremental ID.
The example below will generate the same string each time. | 2019-04-23T14:30:51 | https://packagist.org/packages/bulldog/id |
Showing results for tags 'budda pls'.
Always found it odd that blue dye is so insane to get made. red - cochinaels are easy to come by and everyone skills butchering green - just mine it, easy white - just mine it, easy black - we can harvest acorns now but....blue - You have to scramble around botanising for ages, rarely getting woad, getting lots of random other junk and the chance its good QL is reaallllly slim. Couldn't we allow Woad to be put in planters and use similar code to herbs? Edit for important information - You can no longer botanise high QL woad without the skill. It is literally capped with your skill since 1.3. If you ever want to be able to make 90QL blue dye you need to find a person with 90+ botanising. Does anyone in the whole game have that!? Feb 9th Edit - Today the devs decided that Forestry, Milking and Botanising being actually slightly reasonable to grind for the first time in 10 years needed nerfing, so now it's even harder to get woad.
Been having to use this command a lot lately clearing a mine i'm working on and its great but there's several irksome things i would hope would be easy enough quality of life changes. 1. Add a keybind 2. Make it independent from mind logic (i.e. let us discard 100 at once if we want) 3. Allow it to be done outside inventory on items that are on the ground. 4. Let us do it from horseback/vehicle. The pain of having to stop, pick up piles and right click discard 8 at a time (less for the average player account) and repeat process repeatedly feels needlessly tiresome. Pleases and thank yous.
About time unique drops were balanced?
Was just chatting with a friend who's on freedom who pointed out that "the white hatchling has been found" and we both laughed and quipped, "oh the most useless unique in the game" and it occurred to me that....well why the **** are the uniques drops still so broken and unbalanced. For those who don't know what i'm talking about let me lay it out for you, these are the uniques that exist in Wurmonline (drops based on freedom cluster sorry Epic i don't know enough about yours) The non-dragon uniques each can drop a decent potion that has a use, Mining, Leatherworking, Stonecutting and Woodcutting, a rare/supreme/fantastic bone and a 50% chance to drop a sorcery item with 3 charges. The 5 Hatchlings - Each gives a pathetic....shall we say average of about 0.6kg total of drake hide to the crew slaying it, shared with everyone in local. If you could get everyone to pool it together you would need about 5 hatchling slayings to make ONE goddamn drake set. Note these are weaker and less valuable than scale sets. A rare/supreme/fantastic bone and a 5(?)% chance to drop a sorcery item, which i've never seen happen. Two of them drop potions that are essentially useless, only affecting people who have a sorcery weakness to their effect. As well as having duplicate (read lazy) potions to the adults. Red - Weaponsmithing potion (broken and only works on weaponsmithing subskills btw) - Same as dragon Blue - Fletching potion - Same as dragon Green - Acid potion - Worthless Black - Armorsmithing Potion - Same as dragon White - Frost Salve - Worthless The 5 Dragons - I've seen give between 3kg and 10kg of scale (about 6 needed for a set), meaning you could make a whole scale set, which is worth far more than a drake set, from one kill. A rare/supreme/fantastic bone and 5(?)% chance to drop a sorcery item, which i've never seen happen. Red - Weaponsmithing Potion - same as hatchling Blue - Fletching Potion - same as hatchling Green - Tailoring Potion Black - Armorsmithing Potion - same as hatchling White - Blacksmithing Potion So to sum up, the potions from the dragons are lazily done, with 2 being considered useless by the community almost unanimously and others duplicating the adult/hatchling drop. Dragons never drop sorcery items at all while non-dragons drop them quite regularly. White and Green hatchlings are basically "well at least someone gets a bone i guess?". While hundreds show up for a goblin leaders immensely valuable drops. What i would like to see is some of the, already existing, other potions considered to replace the duplicates and frost/acid potions for more variety and at least consider a slightly better chance for sorcery items ( this one i can live with not changing tbh). Finally for the love of christ increase the drops for hatchlings hide and sort out the RNG with adult dragons which occasionally gives you enough for basically 2 sets and other times not enough for 1. All in all these are simple changes, everything i'm suggesting exists in code.
Title says it all, these items have such a huge size that they cannot fit into even the largest containers in the game and storing any amount of them involves a lot of items dumped on the ground until the decorative item limit is hit on each tile. [10:20:32] The Empire of Mol Rehan tall kingdom banner will not fit in the caravel. - This is silly Would at minimum hope to see them fit into large ships and large storage units.
As in title. Both of these are hidden values, alcohol/drunkness is 0-100 and addiction goes to insane highs (you need 10,000 to get alcoholic title) Neither appear in spell effects and it'd be nice if they did simple as that. Allow people to see how long they have until they're sober again/addiction is gone.
Lurker in the woods is an enchant for pendulums which currently only works to locate champion creatures at (iirc) cast power/2 tile range. 90 cast = 45 tiles, correct me if i'm wrong. As it stands i don't know a single person who uses them, they're considered a silly waste to bother carrying around so why don't we add a bit more flavour to them? Three idea's came to mind. Creatures currently listed by a mission to kill x amount of: Magranon asks you to slay 40 cave bugs, pendulum locates cave bugs. Creatures on traitor missions, same principle as above. Uniques. On larger servers are insanely hard to find sometimes and frankly a max 50 tile range to find one isn't a big deal when you consider the range on reveal creatures and that most uniques will simply aggro into you at that range anyways. Would also be rather amusing and add a little excitement to your hunt if all 4 of those were active at once. Pendulum finds something and you go "is it a champ? a unique? free karma?" | 2019-04-21T05:14:26 | https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/tags/budda%20pls/&_nodeSelectName=forums_topic_node&_noJs=1 |
