Compare your dream to what is going on in your real life. Is “your plate full?” Do you have too much going on? Do you need to make room for more me time or more family time? Or is your plate empty or broken? Do you need to fill your metaphoric plate with more emotionally fulfilling activities?

0.038554 | <urn:uuid:0ea2da21-1cbc-4f3e-9c4c-50eecbc10aab> | en | 0.952532 | What is consciousness? What does it have to do with vibration? With happiness? With fulfillment?
what is consciousness... fragmented viewWhat is consciousness?
Is it the mind?
Here is from the Wikipedia entry: Consciousness is the state or quality of sentience or awareness of internal or external existence.
Again from Wikipedia:
If you are able to tell apples from oranges, you can see that WE HAVE NO IDEA what it is that we call consciousness! We say words, a kind of code, but they don’t mean what they are intended to mean: consciousness, or sentience, or pretty much anything…
Our language is sloppy, approximate, and a really poor tool to allow us to live an intelligent life… And yet, we think that there is intelligent life on this planet… lol.
OK, I am mocking the current state of knowledge… and the current state of humanity… but this is what we have… Nothing wrong here…
So what do I say that consciousness is?
I am going to share what consciousness seems to be, according to my experiments and according to the answers I get from Source… and I’ll share what we can do about raising it, seeing what I see thus far. By raising consciousness, I mean You raising YOUR OWN consciousness.
I am reading a very interesting book, The art of hunting humans. What is interesting about it is the different framing of things…
It is from the vantage point of a higher consciousness species. And from that vantage point, humans can be hunted as any other animal.
The book is teaching about humans and how to hunt them.
For most of you it would take a huge shift in consciousness to be able to stand in the shoes of the hunter while you are also behind the eyeballs of the hunted… so it is not for everybody. But if you can perform that bilocation, the book is fascinating.
the art of hunting humans back coverIt is not different, in what it teaches, from what I teach… and yet… it adds quite a few different ways so you can see more, I can see more about humanity.
It starts with setting up the whole scenario.
It says, humans are like a battle ship: they have the lookout, the messenger, and the captain.
The lookout can only recognize things it already knows. The messenger is going to translate what the lookout tells him… and takes the message to the captain who is locked into his cabin.
It’s a pretty good analogy.
The lookout is the youngest and least knowledgeable member of the ship’s crew. It cannot often tell what he is seeing… he is like the natives of America: can’t recognize a ship, because they don’t know ship. they see the ripples on water, but can only guess what makes the ripples… And by the time they know, it is too late for them: they are enslaved, and killed by the crew of the Santa Maria, the conquerors…
The messenger, the go-between the sensory organs and the conscious mind, the thinking mind, the reasoning mind, will add the meanings to the lookout’s observation. If they smile that means this, if they frown that means that. If they agree… etc.
And he takes his meaning to the captain who will be unaware that the facts have been “translated” and enriched with meaning, according to the messenger’s consciousness, and that he will make decisions based on insufficient and distorted information.
What that book doesn’t say, what that author doesn’t know, is this:
If you are disconnected from the mind, and you are disconnected from the meanings, you can actually see and know a whole lot more than those now disconnected parts of you try to limit you.
In fact you don’t have to consciously know stuff to make good decisions… like I do. In fact, I am living most of my life, nowadays disconnecting from everything I know, so I can hear what is beyond that.
Can YOU do that? I say you can… but the amount of gook-like stuff you carry is blocking your ability.
• The gook can be physical, and I have proven recently that the gook can be removed, once consciousness made aware it is there. Then consciousness instructs the brain to send the cleanup crew, the repair crew, and clean up, repair the damage, so the organism, the human, can be returned as close to perfect as it can be returned.
• And the gook can be decisions, skewed view, meanings, desire for undeserved stuff… and we deal with those in the Playground.
Of course, when and after your body and your brain have been cleaned to any degree, the Playground will be a whole lot easier to advance in. You’ll be more readily able to see. The lookout will see more. The messenger will translate less. And your captain will be able to make more sound decisions about how to respond…
This second type of gook we work for a whole year to remove… in the Playground.
It’s baked on, set, hard to remove. In addition to that, every person has different baked on gook…
It is my “divine” assignment to develop a technology to reliably remove any and all baked on gook.
I have been at it for 31 years now…
The obstacles I have so far overcome are more in the dominion of the physical, interestingly, than in the cognitive, or spiritual dimension.
I am listing here, from memory, what “moves” have made a difference:
• 1. Taking the “captain out of his cabin and forcing it to look around is the purpose of the Playground partner calls, the partner calls done the way they are designed.The most resistant participants try to do the process as a “by-the-way” and consider “telling their story”, the messenger’s role, as primary. This is why the most resistant participant don’t move, or don’t move fast up on the consciousness ladder.
• 2. Adjusting the predatory genesPredatory genes are not interested in you, they are only interested in what they are interested. In the Selfish Gene book Richard Dawkins got close to reality, but not close enough to see the predatory genes. The predatory genes adjusted allow you to have high ambition and only matching desire, to see that if it is to be, it is up to you… your actions, your attitude, your consciousness.I am seeing this manifesting quite clearly.
• 3. Waking up consciousness and the brain that you are ready to live a full life… and abandon your set ways, your limited perspective of the human mind, and surrender to your higher self interests.The instrument for this is the puny sounding but incredibly potent audio recording of an energy bundle, the Big Bundle
• 4. Adjusting people’s decision making to what their innate and most effective way is: The Human Design
• 5. The skill building challenges will be invaluable, if and when the participants are on a certain consciousness level where they can see that living in their puny lives, doing the same things day in and day out will not be able to show them all the dysfunctional meanings and habits they have in their lives.When and while you attempt to learn to do something new, these “hidden” habits, patterns, distortions of reality can surface and be brought to the Partner calls in the Playground, so the participant can take a closer look at them.So far none of the participants have seen this… Or if anyone did, I haven’t heard about it. One student, who has taken on to develop his authentic voice by working with a voice coach is the closest… The rest is still “blissfully” ignorant about the significance of this part of the Playground program.
Anything else we can do to get ourselves out of the rut every human finds themselves in?
Yes. Probably many things, but one I am reminded of as I am writing this.
Your facial expression, maybe just a micro expression, will clue you in to your internal state.
I caught my lips curling down in a frown just a second ago. It was my consciousness that made me pay attention, given this article I am writing.
• I call that emotion: personally offended. Its age 1 year old…
I have seen it on babies faces… and I can feel it on some of my participants’ faces… When the world doesn’t give you want you expect it to give you: mostly attention. Or praise. Or the gift, the food, the validation that you wanted.
• Or the eager beaver who wants attention but doesn’t get it… sounds the same, but it isn’t…
• Or the perpetually angry who NEVER gets what she wants and hates life…
You need a mirror, or alternatively you need to get present to your facial muscles.
You need to learn to recognize emotions. Emotions are NOT feelings. They are best expressed with words that say what the mind says. Example: I am not getting the attention I want. I am right and your job is to learn from me. I am not guilty! It’s your fault. I am good and you ignore me? Not fair”!
All emotions are created by words. So when one of my client says: I am always angry, you can hear that she has no handle on her anger… she doesn’t look at the words SHE SAID, that feel like anger.
I have been contemplating the say that emotional intelligence is being 100% responsible for what you said that translated to the emotional state you are in. And having the intelligence to say something different and mean it.
• 6. Increasing your cell hydration and your overall health number by making your drinking water coherent, and eat according to your eating style, the foods that agree with your body, so you are fully nourished with the least amount of new plaque to steal your brain.
• PS: I almost forgot: Margoczi’s two books, Feelings and Words have been invaluable at redirecting my faulty picture of what is consciousness.
I could even say that until I read and re-read these two books, I was ineffective at teaching people… Doesn’t make me look good, does it? lol… baaah! lol again.

1. Dear Sophie: in the short time (around 3 months) your writings have become some kind of black hole; I have to read them willy-neally; I am attending several activities, which I have to pay attention .
but my attention is really in your writings , I am not a spring chicken in this business of consciousness, and really appreciate your products and writings, I want to thanks you for being there, I appreciate the fresh air coming from your side.
Thanks again.

Probate – Inheritance Tax Explained
Inheritance tax is a tax on the value of a deceased person’s estate, the money, property and possessions they leave behind.
Only a small percentage of estates are large enough to incur inheritance tax but all estate values must still be reported to HMRC as part of probate.
How do I value the estate?
As an executor applying for probate, you will need to estimate the value of the estate of the person who has died.
You will need to contact organisations such as banks and utility suppliers to find out about the person’s assets and debts. For example, how much money is in the bank, what pensions or investments they had and what bills need to be paid.
Then you’ll be in a position to estimate the value of the deceased person’s property and possessions. You’ll need to make a list of all the things the person owned with monetary value, like property, vehicles, furniture and jewellery. A little research on the internet will give you an idea of the fair market value of each.
Check if they had a share of any jointly owned assets. Then you’ll be able to calculate the value of their assets.
Next, deduct any debts and liabilities. You then should also deduct the value of any assets or money passing to charity.
This is the figure to report to HMRC on the relevant inheritance tax form, either IHT205 or IHT 400.
What is the current Inheritance Tax threshold?
There’s normally no Inheritance Tax to pay if either:
• the value of the estate is below the £325,000 threshold
• the deceased person left everything above the £325,000 threshold to their spouse, civil partner, or a qualifying charity.
The threshold can increase to £500,000 if the person’s home was left to their children. In some cases the threshold can be up to £1,000,000.

For example, the differentiation of stem cells into specialized cells, such as hormone-secreting endocrine cells, cytotoxic lymphocytes or tissue-regenerating cells, can be exploited for healing properties. Also, cells could be constructed to execute an array of features1C4 and genetically, due to cell-homing properties5, can deliver medication payloads. Academics and industrial analysis and advancement efforts are usually focused on focusing on how cell therapies can deal with a diverse group of signs, as highlighted with the latest rise of stage I-III studies6 (Fig. 1a). Actually, to date, industrial is victorious have been accomplished at a relatively lower standard than expected from your pharmacological market. On the basis of a semiquantitative analysis, the cell-therapy conversion rate from a phase III study to JG-98 regulatory authorization is estimated to be at 14.3%, which is considerably lower than the conversion rate (48.7%) of mature pharmaceutical drug classes showing new-drug-application success with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA; Supplementary Table 1). Future market analyses are motivated by groups such as the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine, to further quantify and track trends as more studies and regulatory approvals JG-98 continue.

You should recognize that strategies that are enough for generating items over the range of early pivotal scientific studies might not straight convert to commercial-scale produces and efficiencies. As a result, beyond the achievement price of current scientific studies, commercial-scale needs for cell therapeutics in keeping illnesses will hamstring the way to obtain a cell therapy item (CTP) otherwise assessed at an early on developmental stage (Fig. 1b).

At their primary, cell-manufacturing processes aren’t new. For instance, the procedure of fermentation set up infrastructure to produce large batches of chemical products derived from bacteria and candida cells. Engineering tools such as stirred tank reactors, liquid-chromatography systems and cross-filtration systems all matured during the development of fresh biochemicals. Related tools were then repurposed for the development of biopharmaceuticals; indeed, cells are now manufactured to produce a purified biological agent, such as a monoclonal antibody. Unlike in the use of cells for the production of a molecular agent, in cell therapy, the final manufactured product is the cells themselves.

Google Sold Its Soul to China. Here's Why. [Part4]
Google is censoring on behalf of China and handing its technology to China. Perhaps they were presented with secret conditions to reenter China or being coerced into cooperation.
However, there is the question. There are countless global companies who have entered China. Why is it that unentered Google works this hard to cooperate?
It has a lot to do with the fact that 80 percent of Google’s revenue relies on advertisements, and AI is what guarantees its accuracy.
The Fateful Symbiosis Between AI and Totalitarianism
AI consists of two components: “algorithm” and “data.” Google excels in the former, the development of algorithms.
What is important here is that algorithms themselves are just a “calculation procedure,” and amounts to nothing alone.
Algorithms can only become powerful AI when they are fed vast amounts of “data.” Display search results based on users preferences make them addicted to the service and absorb information――. Then, they will gain a deeper understanding of people’s tastes and make them buy products with intriguing advertisements.
For such an AI-centered “AI company,” China is a perfect habitat, which was described as “the Saudi Arabia of data” by Gen. Spalding. The nation takes no interest in human rights and privacy, making it a haven to take as much information from the people as possible.
Furthermore, the country is a surveillance nation. How powerful can AI become if they can somehow get a hold of astronomical amounts of data gathered through surveillance cameras and smartphones?
Gen. Spalding made the following comment in an online program:
“[Google] sees where its future lies and that lies in the free and open (unrestrained) data rules within China that allows the government to actually monitor and control everything that everybody does. That’s a world that Google can appreciate because it can see where it can make a lot of money doing that.” (from online program, “Zooming In with Simon Gao”)
This is how an “AI company” is being pulled by the Chinese market’s immense gravitational force.
Meanwhile, Google’s AI technology is also something that China desperately wants for efficient dictatorship. This is the “fateful symbiosis” between an AI company and totalitarianism. AI, by its nature, yearns a surveillance society while a surveillance society longs for AI.
The Next Dictator Will Come from the Information Industry
Master Ryuho Okawa, CEO and founder of Happy Science, predicted the following 13 years ago in 2008:
“The ‘21st century Hitler’ will emerge from people who can erect ‘giant, information-based companies’ such as Microsoft and Google.
In other words, when someone, such as a new dictator, controls the world with a system that others do not understand and manipulates information behind-the-scenes, then most people will be unaware of this data manipulation and face tremendous damage.”
Google should have an ideal to “not be evil.” Can they continue to go on this path to join China and become a tool to control the people and expand hegemony? They must stop before they completely sell their soul.
Dear Google, Don’t Become 21st Century’s Hitler

New Black Magic RAW Cameras: Pocket and S35 4k, general talk
• 108 Replies sorted by
• I dont see this point of missing 50/60p To be honest in 18 months of shooting with GH2 I never used it or missed it either.
• @jamesgh2 the difference is the pocket camera will beat the GH2 in image quality. It's implied 4:2:2 10-bit, and a native 1080p sensor will have less losses than any camera not fully utilising a good down scaling method.
• I have to say that with every moment and bit of info i'm reading the more i'm getting excited by the idea of the BMC S16. It's a really compelling idea at an unreal price. Just thinking about a compact MFT camera with high DR that I can use along with my GH is a GREAT prospect. I think they both will work together very well as a nice tool set.
• @Aria
This guys are also unique that they have 3 cameras having different sensor sizes (at least used ones).
• Also, situation at NAB is exactly the same as year before, untrained personell who can't even tell you specs right most of the time.
• @jamesgh2
Unless you need 13 stops????.........
You just don't get it, if you have EVER used a camera with that much latitude you would understand. GH2/3 cannot even compare with their 7-9 (generous) stops of latitude.
FInally at only $1000 you can continue to use your $600 GH2 and $1300 GH3 with this camera if you want higher frame rates. Black Magic Pocket Camera will change the world and those who jump on board EARLY will get their first.
• I get it, I might pick one up and have used Alexa and BMCC on a couple of shoots. The problem for me is that nowadays clients ask for 60p slowmotion shots and even 120fps. This camera would be a dream with those frame rates in there.
Its a great leap forward in DR but I have managed to make GH2 material cut in with RED and Alexa and they cant tell the difference. I am eager to see the noise characteristics, aliasing and look of this new camera. If it can produce an image as good as the original BMCC then its great.
The best part of this is that Canon might wake up and finally deliver a good 4:2:2 10 bit output with a flat profile and above 720p resolution. They have no shame with the same 4yr old tech with moire and aliasing.
For those who think I'm insane to request those specs. Let's take a piece by piece approach to it.
A Mac Mini can house and run a quad core 2.3Ghz machine. It is approximately 8 inches square, so we make a 8" Cubed body and mount a 4K (mysterium style) sensor at the front. Let's say for good measure we put 2 Mac Mini's inside. More than enough processing power to pull the image off the chip and write it to media. WAY MORE, but let's just say there's 2 in there for the sake of argument and between them, they pull the image off the sensor, processes the signal, and write compressed images to an SSD drive mounted on the side, export the signal to the various monitor ports, process display LUTS, and run the firmware, etc. [this thing is way overpowered BTW]
2 Mac Mini's retail for $1000 each, but everybody knows Apple has at least a 100% markup, so let's say they cost $500 each to make - we need $1000 for all the processing power in our new 8 core massively powerful camera.
An M-X sensor (If RED was offering to upgrade the RED ONE for $5000, then maybe the sensor costs $3000 tops to make and install.) so we'll call it $3,000 but it's probably closer to $2500.
I seriously doubt the body, lens mount, SSD cradle, and I/O + power ports are going to cost $1000 per unit to mass produce, but lets just say they do.
Total cost of new 4K system - $5000, but in reality; manufactured in bulk - it could probably be made for around $2000-$2500. Factor in an additional cost per unit for encoder licenses, R&D and programming of $1500.
$3500-$4000 in hard costs. Marketing a product like this isn't very hard to do. Announcements like the ones they are making at NAB are costing them chump change, and are a MASSIVE Marketing coup. So marketing costs aren't really an issue when you make stunning anouncements that go viral in mere minutes.
Why am I insane to ask for it for around $8000? I'm pretty sure all 4K Cinema Cams cost somewhere around this range to manufacture. So why sell for five figures? Two reasons: staggeringly inefficient overhead in companies like Sony and Canon. And arrogance and Greed on the part of RED and Arri. [There's a lot of this at Sony and Canon too BTW]
They could easily offer these cams for under 10K. The first company to do it [likely BMD] will set the world afire, as people stop dreaming of owning an Alexa or Epic, and max out their credit cards, or ask their bank or their parents for loans, and in some cases sell their cars to plop down the cash to own one.
Now I realize that building a camera of this type is not as simple as my example, if it were, we'd all be building our own. But in terms of cost. It's not insane of me to expect a camera with those specs to be made, and delivered at that price point within the next year or so. I think BMD is the company to do it. They have the support system in place to make such camera a huge win for them without the overly-inflated profit margin. they are already sustained by their current model. A modest profit from their camera line is gravy compared to steering the enitre film and video community away from the current gatekeepers and into their wheelhouse.
• Not to mention this new 4K CMOSIS sensor they're using is really intriguing - they may at some point make a camera that is open in the sense that you can choose your trade off and dial in custom DR, and custom frame rate depending on the situation. There's some interesting possibilities there.
• @shian
I have high doubts. BMCC sensor also had global shutter mode and 60p mode, but they never allowed it and never did it.
• Some of the C mount lenses, like some of the Kern Switar, that cover Super 16mm should work on this pocket camera. For wides, will need the Pany 7-14mm.
• @ghkqn
For wides, will need the Pany 7-14mm.
I didnt find a satifying solution with ND filters
• at the moment 326 post in pocket thread vs 100 in 4k thread indicates quite clear which product is more exciting.
• Please excuse my ignorance if this is a stupid question. If the camera is 4k , then surely i need a 4k TV to see the full 4k, unless i intend to produce for the cinema, am i not just wasting my money (and patience waiting for my NLE to catch up).
• Yes i know there are 4k monitors/TV out. My question still stands. If i have (as most of the planet has at the moment) a 2k tv and i play 4k video, will it be any better than a 2k video.
• @appyinau when you walk in the theater, chances are you sitting down in front of a screen that is being projected at 2k - A 2k image of something shot at 4K. Downrezzing always gives great fine detail. Acquire high, present low.
It's just like buy low - sell high, only different.
• ....Or like using high sample rate .wav files in audio... even though people listen to it at mp3 spec.
• Or like cows . . . wait. Hang, on, I had an analogy for this . . . Chicken or the? Nah, it's gone.
• Btw, no one noticed coincidence?
Red in suicidal move wend and sued Sony, whole thing being about compressed raw.
But in the same time both BM cameras won't have working raw at the beginning, and it is compressed raw version this time.
Just observation.
• @Vitaliy_Kiselev, yes I did note the irony about the new BMD Compressed RAW cams and the uproar by RED over Sony. It's the reason why that just made no sense. You can't stop the march of progress. All you can do is make sure you make compelling products and try to develop customer loyalty and a product ecosystem that people believe in and invest in cuz it works better than the competition. I thought RED had succeeded in doing that for the most part. They have their own niche carved out and lots of fairly loyal customers. No need to sue, just innovate.
• Sorry for being a bit OT, but where has gone the topic related to the Production Camera only?
• B3 your humor does not go unappreciated. made me smile, anyway.

From what I have tasted, head cheese isn't a sort of brawn. It is brawn.
I'm not much fussed if people say "different to" or "different from" but, personally, I always try to use "different from".
As an aside to people saying drawer when they mean draw: I always say draw but, when I was an apprentice, it was pointed out that there was no "r" in the middle of the word "drawing". Since then, I have made a conscious effort not to say "drawring" but, even after these many years, it doesn't come naturally. | http://search.mudcat.org/detail_pf.cfm?messages__Message_ID=4055781 | dclm-gs1-267310011 | false | false | {

1.The truth is that there is not much information on the early Celephaïs, When was the band? Why they decided to create Celephaïs? What musicians are behind this project?
Celephaïs is basically a musical project I run alone. The intention behind this project is to create a music which provides an audial journey which is enthralling by an emotional and melodic depth and intensity as well as to manifest a certain spirituality into it which I think many of us feel connected to.
I guess the whole project started somewhen 2010, when the first recording attempts became more and more focused and started evolving into something with its own dynamic.
2." Tir n'a N’og” is an EP of two tracks that gives continuity to your album, 2011, how has the writing process of this “Tir n'a N'og "? What differences can we find about "Becoming the Deceased "?
It was, to say the least, pretty intense.
After "Becoming The Deceased" I felt a lack of inspiration and ended up recording a lot of ideas which hadn't had the same feeling of intensity to it. In consequence they all got deleted for Celephaïs is not meant as a platform for ideas which I don't feel a certain vibe to.
The idea of making an overlengthy track struck me quite unexptected when I went outside to have an extended walk and sat down by a river, I started to sense a certain kind of transcendence and had this idea of a music flowing along with the river (which then turned out to become the first section of Tir n'a N'og), so I got my MP3-Player and stood in that river for like 15 minutes to make a field-recording. On the same day I started the recording of the song and finished it in about 3 days.
Sounds quite cheesy, doesn't it?
Wisdom then was created shortly after in order to create an acoustic track to serve as an introductory piece to give the vibe and the feel for the title track. Since Tir n'a n'Og has this very dreamy and otherwordly feel to it, Wisdom serves as a transition from the everyday reality and perception into something more illustrious.
In comparison to Becoming The Deceased Tir n'a n'Og has a more focused approach to it. The music is less centered around specific riffs but more on layering and atmosphere. In consequence this means a step away from the orientation on black metal and and evolution more towards an own an unique approach, I guess. I think I am also still in the process of learning what I can transcend the musical approach to.
3."Tir n'a N’og” refers to a place of Irish mythology similar to Valhalla in Norse mythology, could you explain a little why this concept and has been used to give Ep title? How would you describe the sound of Celephaïs?
Yes, "Tir n'a n'Og" is also referred to as "The Land Of Eternal Youth" or simply the "Otherworld".
It was primarily because of the latter that I applied the title to the song since the journey which the song is intended to go also aims for a dimension which is normally beyond human experience. Since the songs are all instrumental and thereby no lyrical concept is present, the songtitles can mostly be seen as an expression of what the song is to evoke. This also doesn't necessarily mean that the title binds it to the Celtic Mythology but can be primarily seen as a parallelism for the idea of a otherworld beyond worldy dimensions.
4.What bands and styles of music are the main influences for Celephaïs?
I think in the end there is a lot of music which somehow had an impact on the music of Celephaïs.
The obvious styles would certainly be Black Metal, Post- and Doom Metal and also a lot of Post Rock and Ambient.
I think bands like Wolves In The Throne Room, Altar Of Plagues or Skagos are probably the most important ones when it comes to the Black Metal riffing, whereas bands like Burzum or Velvet Cacoon had an impact when it comes to creating atmosphere.
I think the list is apt to get endless here, but to drop some further bands which influenced me:
Neurosis, Empyrium, Sunn O))), Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Tenhi, Tool, Natural Snow Buildings and so on and so on.
I think in the end every music you listen to and enjoy somehow alters the way you understand and thereby create music as you are also simply a sum of all your experiences.
5. Celephaïs group name refers to a story by HP Lovecraft, Why did you choose this name and how Lovecraft literature is present in your music? Did you have any legal issues with other bands with the same name?
Just like Tir n'a n'Og, Celephaïs deals with the idea of dimensions beyond our everyday experience, so it was quite fitting to accompany what the music wants to create, plus I also love Lovecraft's literature. But since I don't see Celephaïs being a Lovecraft-themed band like Thergothon or The Great Old Ones singing about how Cthulhu will enslave humanity this is the only Lovecraftian aspect which can be found until now.
Up to now there haven't been any legal issues with any other Celephaïs and I'm pretty glad they renounced from taking any legal measures so far.
6.How did you get started in music, first cds you bought, the first concerts you attended? Why did you decide to be a musician?
My musical interest started pretty early as far as I can recall, but when it comes to first concerts I can't really tell. If it had been something special I guess I would have remembered.
I don't think there really was a decision to be a musician. The way I understand music and the desire to create it is something I feel deeply rooted and thereby it just feels natural, but also beyond my will I guess. I can't image living without enjoying and creating music.
7. With which band would you like to do a split?
Interesting question!
In case of doing a split record I would love to join up with someone who I feel has a similar approach to music as I do. I would like this split more to be a piece of art created by the collectiveness of two entities instead of just being to bands throwing together their leftovers.
Names that spontaneously come to my mind would be: Skagos, Echtra, Fauna or Agalloch. And to be a bit less pretentous: Natural Snow Buildings or Helios would surely also turn out to be an interesting collaboration.
8." Tir n'a N'og " was self-released and is also available through the Pest Productions, how did the collaboration with the seal? Will you continue working with them in the future?
I guess i can consider myself pretty lucky on this one.
After releasing Tir n'a n'Og as a free downloadable release on the Celephaïs-bandcamp page they contacted me via e-mail and stated they were interesting in releasing it as they themselves liked the record pretty much. So it all went on quite uncomplicated and I'm pretty happy with how things went.
Wether I will continue working with them in the future I can't tell at this point, but I'd definitely be happy to do so. Future will show.
9. Who designed the album cover? What that meant? How does the content of the Ep?
The cover for the digital release has been made by me. Its a photo taken near to where I live. I find this place has something magical to it and fits the atmosphere of the music very well with its feeling of desertedness created by the decrepit benches and the wilderness surrounding it.
The cover for the CD was designed by Deng from Pest Records in order to make the CD-release something more special with an own approach to it.
10. What can we expect in the near future Celephaïs about upcoming releases, concerts, collaborations, etc.?
Well, I started working on a full-length album which I think will be done somewhen next year. It's going to be something more conceptual and, so far as I can tell from the recent point, will push the boundaries of Celephaïs a step further.
11. Thank you very much for taking the time to Black Metal Spirit, if you want to add something for the followers of Celephais, this is the place.
At first I want to thank you for your interest, your support and your thoughtful questions.
And of course I would like to thank anyone for listening to the music of Celephaïs. It means pretty much to me knowing that there are people who enjoy the music I create and maybe who can even get something out of it they feel they can connect to. Thank you very much!

It took forever for me to get a chance to play Star Trek: Ascendancy, thanks in large part to its hard three-player limit. I had a feeling that I would really enjoy the game when I first opened it up and skimmed through the rules. A good Star Trek-themed 4-x game is something that I've been craving since Birth of the Federation on Windows 98. Sure enough, after playing Ascendancy, it immediately became my favorite Star Trek board game on the market. The friends that I've played it with have also all loved it so far.
The base game included an insert advertising the first two expansions: the Cardassians and Ferengi. After the first play-session, I put the two expansions on my wishlist. Each expansion adds an additional faction and support for an additional player (for up to five, if you have the friends and the time). The Borg expansion came out around the same time, and I picked that one up too, as I was curious to see how the NPC Borg faction would play out. We decided to stick with the more basic expansions first though, as the Borg added extra complexity (and difficulty) that we weren't sure we were ready for. So I'll be reviewing the Borg seperately.
Star Trek: Ascendancy came packaged with an insert for the Cardassian and Ferengi expansions.
I had hoped to get a review of the Ferengi, Cardassians, and Borg out last year. And I don't mean like "in December" last year; I mean I had hoped to have this review out last February! Unfortunately, the difficulty inherent in getting four or five people together to play a six-hour board game, combined with packing up the house and moving last summer, meant that I got a couple early games in with the Cardassians, but never got a chance to play as the Ferengi until this winter. I didn't want to write a review of one faction without playing the other, since they are kind of inversions of each other in many ways.
The core game comes packaged with turn order cards for up to ten players, so I initially guessed that meant that Gale Force 9 was anticipating at least seven expansions. The Vulcans and Andorians will be released imminently, and the Borg rules actually allow the Borg to use up two turn order cards, which means there's only one space left to fill! Judging by the cards present in the base game, it looks like the Tholians are set to be the last expansion. If that's the case, this would leave some significant players on the Star Trek galactic stage out in the cold. The Dominion would be the single, most conspicuous absence from the game's roster. I also had hoped to see the Gorn as a faction, and at least one Delta Quadrant faction (such as the Kazon or Hirogen).
Well, I can take a guess what the next (hopefully not last) planned expansions is...
Though, I guess there's nothing stopping Gale Force 9 from releasing more expansion factions than there are turn order cards. I mean, I doubt anybody's going to be playing this game with nine or ten players anyway. Good luck finding a table big enough to even play such a game to begin with! GF9 could also just package an eleventh or twelfth turn order card in any future expansions if they feel it's necessary. So there's no reason why they would be unable to release the Dominion, Gorn, or other factions.
In any case, the first three expansions complete the Birth of the Federation roster of playable Federation, Klingons, Romulans, Ferengi, and Cardassians, as well as an NPC Borg faction.
There's not much in the way of new rules for either of the new factions. Both come with 10 new system discs (including the faction's respective homeworld), all the faction's ships and control nodes, advancement decks, some extra resource nodes and tokens, and ten new exploration cards. Everything slots pretty seamlessly into the core game. The only new mechanics are associated with some of the new exploration cards in the Ferengi expansion, but the card texts are pretty self-explanatory. There's a tiny rules insert anyway, in case you need more clarification.
I was expecting a Dominion expansion, and had hoped for the Gorn and at least one Delta Quadrant faction.
The seamless integration and lack of new rules does not, however, mean that the new factions feel dull or uninteresting. In fact, both the Cardassians and Ferengi have a very distinct (and very fresh) feel of play. Both have very potent unique boons and banes that separate them tremendously from the three factions included in the core set. In general, they both are dependent on using their ships and fleets to fuel their respective economies, which gives their ships uses beyond just exploration, research, and military action. You have to be very deliberate with your ships and fleets, since proper use is essential to keeping your economy running. As such, I don't recommend that a novice player jump into playing as either the Cardassians or Ferengi. You could probably muddle your way along, but it's better to have a firm grasp of the game mechanics (playing as the Klingons or Romulans) before you try your hand at the expansions.
Star Trek: New Horizons
The creators seem to have been inspired by BotF.
Built on the back of Stellaris
The playable roster is surprisingly vast and exhaustive.
Although the components for Gale Force Nine's Star Trek: Ascendancy are generally pretty exceptional (and the expansion components are also quite high quality), I did have one major disappointment with the package: the game does not include plastic figures to represent the various faction's starbases. Instead, the game uses cardboard tokens to represent starbases. These are functionally fine, but they just don't have the presence on the board to match their strategic importance within the actual game, and it's easy for them to kind of disappear into the background of the game's map. The individual cardboard tokens don't even have art specific to each faction; all five factions have pictures of Federation starbases on the top.
The manufacturer was apparently aware of this, and, in addition to selling "expansions" containing additional ships and control nodes for each faction, they also sell a set of three plastic starbase figures for each faction.
All factions use carboard tokens for starbases, all of which have pictures of Starfleet starbases.
Since I really like the Ascendancy board game, I wanted to support the manufacturer and designers. I had already purchased all three of the game's expansions (the Cardassian faction, Ferengi faction, and Borg: Assimilation expansion), and I'll be playing and reviewing them soon. I also went ahead and bought the starbases. GF9's storefront wants $12 USD for each set of a faction's three starbase figures. That's a pretty steep price for components for a game that already costs $100 without any expansions. $12 times five factions comes to $60 (almost two-thirds the cost of the core game!). The core game's components are all pretty nice, as are the components for the Borg expansion, and the pictures of the bases looked pretty nice (even though they are unpainted). So I went ahead and made a purchase.
I was excited to have the new toys to play with -- I always like getting new games and toys. But when they showed up, a lot of that excitement was dashed. The product that had been delivered was substantially sub-par.
These are definitely not ready to be played with out-of-the-box...
Defects and poor quality
The Ferengi and Klingon bases were attached to plastic frames and had to be torn off, and the remains of the frames had to be cut off of the starbase figures in order for the figures to fit into their bases and stand on their own. One of the Ferengi figures snapped and broke while I was removing it from its plastic frame. I had to super-glue it back together...
Star Trek: Enterprise
Star Trek: Enterprise is a very divisive topic among Trekkers / Trekkies. Personally, I'm not a big fan. It was a perfectly adequate space adventure TV show, but just never quite worked as hard science fiction for me, let alone as "Star Trek". There were certainly some stand-out good episodes. The haunted space station of "Dead Stop" and the mirror universe antics of "In a Mirror, Darkly" being among my favorites. The annoying thing is that the show made several mistakes at very fundamental levels before it even got off the ground. I could have lived with the show being a prequel, but the efforts to make the show seem both futuristic to the viewing audience, but also less advanced than the (then 40-year-old) original series put the show in an awkward juxtaposition with established series continuity. The hackneyed time travel meta-plot certainly didn't help.
"Juxtaposed" is an excellent way of describing Enterprise as a whole. It's a show that simultaneously seemed ashamed of its "Star Trek" name (remember, it premiered with the title "Enterprise", and "Star Trek" was only stapled back on in later seasons), while also indulging in needless - and sometimes cringe-worthy - fan service (such as the appearance of the Borg, Ferengi, and the entire episode "In A Mirror, Darkly"). It wanted to distance itself from established Trek tropes, but also brought back many of the same technologies, concepts, and character archetypes (simply renaming many of them). It set itself at the cusp of development of advanced science fiction technologies, but completely waffled when it came to telling hard science fiction stories about those technologies. It wanted to be simultaneously a prequel and a sequel via its contrived time travel premise. It was this lack of confidence and true vision that really killed this show.
The science of future technology
The show made the mistake of trying to present a Star Trek setting that was less technologically advanced, but still went ahead and gave the crew access to stand-ins for all the established trek technologies. They tried to make the Enterprise itself feel more like a contemporary submarine with its confined spaces, but it never really felt different. There was "hull polarization" instead of shields, and "phase cannons" instead of phasers. Different names, but same basic concepts that were used in exactly the same manner. The crew didn't start the show using more contemporary-seeming projectile weapons - not even a futuristic projectile weapon like a rail gun - before transitioning to purely energy-based weapons. The Enterprise didn't have to be equipped with any kind of futuristic chaffe in order to misdirect hostile targeting scanners, nor did it use point-defense to destroy incoming missiles.
"Phase pistols" and "polarized hull" were just lazy stand-ins for phasers and shields.
The only pieces of tech that the show really held off on (and were relevant to narrative) were the universal translator and transporters. The translator was rarely an issue since Hoshi was practically a Babel Fish. The transporter was there, but it was not trusted to reliably transport living things - even though it had been verified as safe by the beginning of the first episode and was successfully used in that episode. So for most of the show's run, the crew used shuttle craft for away missions, but the transporter was always there just waiting to act as a deus ex machina to get the crew out of a sticky situation (which, of course, happened on multiple occasions - including the premiere).
The fact that these technologies were already in place made the show feel too similar to other Trek series, even though it desperately wanted to feel distinct. But it also prevented the writers from exploring some of the more interesting issues inherent to the development of these technologies...

0.317846 | <urn:uuid:aa90742a-fe80-4e57-9fec-3cd14b6fa796> | en | 0.949613 | How to quickly upgrade and quickly reach the highest level in MapleStory 2
maplestory Mar-22-2019
Since the launch of Maplestory 2 on October 1, it has been officially launched for one month. At this point in time, we are very sure that many players have sat comfortably at the highest level of 60. However, if you are an experienced Mapler, we know that a character is not enough from the first game. So here are some tips on how to quickly upgrade in Maplestory 2!
Level 1~50
Focus on the main task
But true. Don't sleep on your main task. The main mission rewards provide so many EXPs that you can easily reach level 50 in about 8 hours. If you level the second character, it should be faster. Just skip all conversations and cutscenes. Make sure you don't be pinned down by the task next to you! If you care about this story, then there are many opportunities to come back and do them. They are mainly looking for tasks, so you won't miss a lot because of the main story.
Give your alt an advantage
If it is your first character, you can't do this in the next one. But if you happen to be practicing alt, move Rotor Walkie Talkies to the chest of Goldus Bank. This will help your alts move faster from one place to another while completing a task. Or, if you want to save these tickets, just use a taxi - just pay Mesos. In addition to Walkie Talkies, you can also quickly install alt via your primary account. Anything that can give it a little boost, really.
Level 50~60
You will think that the last ten is the hardest, but it is easy. At this point, you will complete the main task. Is this where we succumb to the sideline mission? Must not work. This is where your life skills come in handy because they give a flat EXP.
Automatic execution
Once you get the first show from the mission NPC, you don't have to use it in a manual show. In addition to those tasks. This is because when you do it manually, it consumes worksheet usage. However, if it is done by automatic execution, it will not consume usage. Therefore, once you reach 50, the pop-up automatically executes the 30 minute / 1 hour ticket and you will immediately reach level 60.
Automatic fishing
In addition to performances, you can fish, although it is a bit complicated. Using automatic fish tickets from the beginner level is really not worth it. Fishing rankings are also different. This is a big step forward, so I won't, but if I do, it must be an independent guide. If you don't mind adding extra time to your process, manually adjust your fishing level to intermediate and then automatically fish from there.
So how do you decide which one today? Simple - check the top left corner of the screen and look at the ticker. If it is twice the EXP day of the show, then execute and vice versa.
Looking for the world boss
You can surf alone, but it is better to have a party. It really depends on you, it's just a party faster, this is the focus of this guide, is it? Currently, the world boss provides about 15% of EXP at level 50. So if you want to surf and find a boss, or just for automatic ticketing, you can choose to do so. Check the approximate generation time of this MapleStory 2 wiki. This is the list of world bosses. Make sure you kill people on the list instead of elite bosses.
Only! It's easy to reach levels in MapleStory 2. Of course, there are other ways to improve yourself. For example, if your main course has 4 levels of cooking, the pine mushroom stew can provide 50% EXP for 2 hours. However, we have to adopt the easiest method. So it really just - do your main task then automate your skills to your way to 60. Individual, from 50 to 60, I leave my priest to smash tunes (automatically execute) for 6 hours, when I wake up, it is 60 year old.
If you are not 60 years old, you will not get to it if you get there quickly after the chaotic mode is coming on November 8. Struggling to buy Maplestory 2 Mesos get your equipment scored 2100.

During the peak of her career in the 40’s and 50’s, Carmen was an international cultural icon who combined fury with tenderness—a wild, exotic woman with the fierce pride of Spain and the uncontrolled vagrancy of the Gypsy spirit.
Family Photos
Flamenco today is deeply indebted to Carmen Amaya. Through her artistry and virtuosity, she effectively altered the history of flamenco dance forever. She crossed the traditional boundaries of flamenco by teaching herself the fast and furious footwork usually reserved for the male dancer. Donning a man’s pants and jacket, she skillfully combined the elegance and grace of the female style with the ferocity and high-impact footwork of the male style sending shockwaves through the flamenco world unaccustomed to seeing a passionate and powerful woman in pants dancing a man’s dance. Today, her legend lives on. The influence of the proud and passionate Gypsy woman taking her art to its limits is visible today in her great-niece, Omayra Amaya. | http://www.omayraamaya.com/family/ | dclm-gs1-267570011 | false | false | {

The film stars Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury, the flamboyant frontman for Queen who died in 1991 from complications related to AIDS.
According to CNN, Bohemian Rhapsody brought in an estimated $50 million in North America and $141.7 million internationally. The film was only expected to earn $35 million in U.S. sales.
Controversy surrounded the film after release of its first trailer, with many accusing producers of “straight-washing” Mercury's life. As the film opened, some critics said that the film fell short in how it dealt with Mercury's sexuality and AIDS diagnosis.

10 Creepy Plants
We spend a lot of time here at Cracked pointing out horrors of nature that slither on the land and lurch through the sea. But staying under the radar in nature's landscape of nightmares is the twisted carnival of things that grow out of the ground. Like ... Bleeding Tooth Fungus The bleeding tooth fungus looks kind of like a wad of chewing gum that leaks blood like a rejected prop from The Shining. They're also called the strawberries and cream, the red-juice tooth, and the devil's tooth. Oh, and they are listed as "inedible," which implies that someone attempted to eat one at some point. Chinese Black Batflowers There's a good reason that Batman uses bat imagery to strike terror into the hearts of Gotham's criminals, rather than, say, some kind of shrew. It is kept as an ornamental plant by gardeners who prefer to cultivate nightmares, and have the balls to live in the presence of a plant that looks like it crawled out of a Bosch painting and wants to plant its young in their head.

Mike was in his room writing a paper for his U.S. History class. On his desk next to his computer sat crunched Red Bulls, empty Gatorade bottles, some extra pocket change and scattered pieces of paper.

A Creepy Monster of the Forest: The Albino, Vampiric Redwood Tree Organisms with albino mutations are pretty weird in general, but albino plants are extra weird. Ultra-rare albino redwood trees completely lack the green pigment chlorophyll, which they need to live (by photosynthesizing nutrients from light). These plants are literally vampires. They are pale (everwhite instead of evergreen), and they survive by sucking the life from other trees. These vampires remain attached to the roots of their healthy, normal, parent trees (coastal redwoods can reproduce asexually by sprouting new shoots from roots or stumps), and survive by sucking energy from them. They can keep this up for a century.

factoids > adjective order in English The "ugly red wooden box" sounds correct, but the "wooden red ugly box" sounds wrong. There is a "rule" describing the order English adjectives are used in: Opinion or judgment -- beautiful, ugly, easy, fast, interesting Size -- small, tall, short, big Age -- young, old, new, historic, ancient Shape -- round, square, rectangular Color -- red, black, green, purple Nationality -- French, Asian, American, Canadian, Japanese Material -- wooden, metallic, plastic, glass, paper Purpose or Qualifier -- foldout sofa, fishing boat, racing car So: the "beautiful long old curved red Italian steel racing car" Take care when applying the rule to categorise the adjectives correctly. For example, "The old rotund man read a short old story about an ugly big bear" seems to follow the rules, yet sounds wrong.
Bonsai Trees A bonsai, literally translated to “tree in a pot”, is simply a potted miniature version of its normal sized counterpart. Originating from China and Japan, bonsai trees were originally cultivated from trees growing in the wild. Over time, the practice of bonsai trees gained popularity as an art form. Perhaps, the beauty and discipline of bonsai trees stemmed from the desire to control something as grand as a large tree into such a small pot. The hobby of bonsai trees migrated to the West and quickly became a hobby because of the various methods of training and shaping a bonsai tree. Many bonsai tree enthusiasts enjoy the hobby because of the tranquil feeling experienced when caring and maintaining the bonsai tree.

Internet Software Application Security
Because software applications must be secure, coders endevour to write unbreakable code and server admins strive to lock down web servers so nothing gets in or out other than that which we intend. Each is required to apply their skills to the max, and to stay updated.
Any application - app, or web-app - needs to resist break-in attempts by hackers hoping to discover nuggets of info which can be exploited to discover even more of what's on the webserver. Indeed we do have many techniques and tools to make use of in building applications to run securely on the internet, and we can even test-and-fix, test-and-fix until it doesn't break any more using Approved Scanning Vendors recomended by the PCI-Security Standards Council.
Approved Scanning Vendors provide a program of probing tests on web servers and software applications, running scans designed to break things and hack their way in. They can tell you what they tried, what they accomplished, which explains how to fix it. Finally, with all known weaknesses exposed and secured, the application can claim to be certified secure and PCI-DSS Compliant. Testing can be updated by repeating PCI-scans every day if required.
Just as we do everything possible to safeguard our users' privacy online, so must we all keep our computers and mobile devices secure. That is best achieved by using OEM operating systems and keeping up with updates, and not opening email attachments that you didn't expect to receive.
While any of your info is on acdit.com systems, only you can get at it. Additionally, we prefer to delete data when it's no longer needed by a server process, and give you the option store it on your own computer / device instead.
webRTC video conferencing privacy and security
Imagine a video chat + screen and file sharing system which is entirely private and secure and disappears leaving no trace when you're done ... that's what you get with webRTC (web Real Time Communication) technology. Learn about our webRTC solutions and understand its privacy and security advantages.
Forget email, if privacy is important. Forget Facebook, Twitter - forget all the popular social media platforms, if privacy is important. webRTC is the answer to our needs ...
webRTC is a P2P communications technology available now in all modern web browsers. P2P means peer-to-peer (in this case, device to device) data transfer which does not require a web server in between. Messages, video + audio streams and files can be sent directly from one device to another, encrypted under TLS protocol (formerly SSL), providing no opportunity for interception.
This is a huge win for privacy, and is eagerly supported by privacy and security advocates. There are several important implications here:
Given that the internet's organic function is to extend and expand the capabilities of everyone on the planet, and given that much information is tainted by others' agendas, or is shrouded in dogma or questions of political correctness, it is more than ever important to have free and open channels to high quality information and to be able to discuss anything without restriction - at least in private.
But pressures on the right-to-privacy would deny the fundamental principle that whatever we may think or say belongs to us as individuals, and no-one else. We are all individually responsible, we can filter ourselves and we can choose to engage or disengage with others as we see fit.
webRTC provides secure communications channels which completely avoid data-mining messaging systems, right there in your web browser - no snooping app to download or install. The day the W3C, Google, Microsoft, Apple and Mozilla compromise webRTC privacy will be the last day of internet freedom, ever.
There's an excellent article on privacy matters on TeachPrivacy. My compliments to the authors.
Secure Communications Software
So, how to leverage the power of webRTC to improve and protect coms?
A website with live support, or a call-in sales desk, a videocast or live performance, presentation, is highly more likely to engage a current audience, simply because face-to-face interaction is more highly valued.
The level of immediate presence of the other among participants in a video call is remarkably like the real thing, like being in the same room. It can be so engaging and real that common inhibitors are diminished as more intimate bonding emerges, resulting in more successful communication.
These are fine attributes of the live video chat experience which are leveraged through apps to provide video calling and messaging services. acdit.com has used webRTC technology to create Coms, an entirely secure and private social network and messenging service:
Coms Messenger is a professional-level secure zone where streams of encrypted data for video + audio, text and files are exchanged in total privacy, where no records are kept and where data is deleted the moment it's no longer needed. You have the option of storing chats on your own device.
Coms is also available as a Progressive Web App. | https://acdit.com/ | dclm-gs1-267740011 | false | false | {

Heart Health.jpg
Have you noticed an uptick in social media posts on heart health lately? February is full of hearts thanks to Valentine's Day, but also thanks to the American Heart Association designating each February as National Heart Month to promote heart health by sharing information about heart disease like signs and symptoms, prevalence, and diet and lifestyle tips. Conditions related to heart disease like high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes are often seen in families, but heart disease also effects those without a genetic predisposition.
Incorporating more healthy habits related to diet, activity, and stress management to reduce risk of heart disease is beneficial for everyone, regardless of family history or current health status, and I've found that most people are familiar with general healthy eating guidelines like reducing saturated fat, sodium, and added sugar, and increasing fiber. Yet, many still struggle to implement the recommendations. I think this is because many equate a heart-healthy diet with mean, bland, unsalted, fat-free foods. But bland, unsalted, fat-free foods are definitely not what my heart-healthy diet looks like.
Struggling to cook healthy? We'll help you prep.
My approach to a heart-healthy diet still revolves around those same guidelines, but it also relies on fresh ingredients, spices, herbs, a little creativity, and thinking beyond the black-and-white guidelines.
Here are my favorite tips for heart-healthy eating and meal planning. Happy National Heart Month!
1. Use vegetables and produce creatively, not just as a side dish/afterthought.
It's easy to get into a meal rut, but it's even easier to fall into a vegetable one! Consequently, many veggies can feel and taste more like obligatory afterthoughts. To prevent this, I like to experiment with new—sometimes unusual—ways to use vegetables, like this Cauliflower Salad with Tahini Dressing.

I also look for ways to build meals around produce. This Chicken-Quinoa Salad with Arugula and Pistachio is a great example: Just top leafy greens with warm whole grains and chicken.
Chicken-Quinoa Salad with Arugula and Pistachios
2. Slowly build a collection of seafood recipes that you can’t wait to eat.
Omega-3s in fish can provide the body with an anti-inflammatory effect, which is why consuming fish twice weekly is a key part of a heart-healthy diet. But if you struggle to find new and different ways to prepare fish that'll make you excited about mealtimes, you're not alone. This is why I've slowly started building a collection of fish recipes, saving any that were a hit and discarding the others. Easy Pesto Salmon is one of my favorite for a quick family dinner.

On weekends or when I'm entertaining, though, I like Roasted Halibut with Herb Salad and Bourbon-Glazed Salmon with Firecracker Slaw.

3. Incorporate spices, herbs, and seasonal produce, so you get big-time flavor with less sodium.
Reducing sodium doesn't have to mean completely cutting salt from your diet. In fact, salt is an ingredient I use in most every recipe I make. But in order to do this, I have to minimize my overall salt intake and boost flavor other ways, by incorporating ingredients like garlic, spices, ginger, and fresh herbs. Add just a little garlic—or a combination of herbs and garlic—along with a dash of salt and pepper. A little salt goes a lot farther with other flavors present to help consume less sodium. Here are two great examples of recipes that showcase how powerful a touch of those recipes can be: Garlic and Herb Oven Fries…
Garlic and Herb Oven Fries
…and Black Pepper-Curry Chicken Sauté.
Black Pepper-Curry Chicken Sauté
4. Look for ways to incorporate more plant-based proteins.
Eating more plant-based proteins helps minimize saturated fat, but it also boosts fiber intake since plant proteins like legumes, peas, whole grains, nuts and seeds are all great sources. Swapping animal proteins for a plant-based source—like the tofu in this Chinese Noodle Salad with Sesame Dressing—is an easy and delicious way to do this, but you don't have to cut all animal proteins out of your diet.
Chinese Noodle Salad with Sesame Dressing
Look for ways you can start using slightly smaller amounts of animal proteins, like ground beef and sausage, by incorporating a plant protein like Herby Lentil-and-Sausage Soup does.
Herby Lentil-and-Sausage Soup
5. Avoid added sugar on a daily basis, so you can enjoy carefree treats on occasion.
A heart-healthy diet used to focus strictly on fat, but we now know that sugar plays a significant role in heart disease, too. This doesn't mean you can't occasionally have dessert. Rather, make room for a sweet treat once or twice a month by cutting out daily added sugars and hidden added sugars in things like condiments, salad dressings, cereals, and condiments. A few simple swaps can significantly reduce overall added sugars and even allow splurges, so start being mindful of what those swaps would look like in your life. Here are a few of my go-to splurge recipes:
Cinnamon Roll Muffins

United States (USA)TerrorismBUSH, George W., JrHERMAN, Edward S.
As the powerful seek domination their control of language is as important to their success as their possession of weapons to frighten and kill. The ability to pin the label of terrorist on their targets, and to have themselves (and clients) merely engaging in counter-terror and retaliation is a major advantage of the powerful, as terror is a highly invidious word. Who can oppose combating and defending against terror?
George Bush has won this war of language, whether he thinks we can or cannot win the war on terrorism. John Kerry and the Democrats have been delighted at Bush s momentary retreat on whether we (he) can win this war; but they believe in the war and have differentiated themselves from Bush mainly by claiming that they will do the job of winning it more efficiently than Bush. Even many liberals and leftists contend that Bush s attack on Iraq was wrong mainly because it diverted attention from the war on terrorism, which they regard, explicitly or implicitly, as a legitimate enterprise, properly central as a foreign policy objective, and one that Bush is pursuing, even if incompetently.
An alternative view, rarely even mentioned in the mainstream and anathema to the cruise missile left —although not unfamiliar in much of the rest of the world— is that the war on terrorism is a fraud and cover for a war of terrorism. This is not to deny that 9/11 was a major terrorist act and that a response against the perpetrators would be entirely justifiable. But not much of Bush s alleged anti-terror effort has gone into pursuit of the 9/11 terrorists; much more has been put into a huge military buildup that has nothing to do with defending against terrorism, a great deal has been expending in direct U.S. terrorist operations (as in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq, briefly described below), and substantial sums have been devoted to helping out clients who are with us and pleased to get U.S. help in dealing with their own dissidents ( terrorists ).
The Bush triumph in the use of language requires a slithering past the essential meaning of terrorism, and even official definitions, in favor of the only-if-they-do-it-is-it-to-be-called-terrorism definition. The essential meaning is "A mode of governing, or opposing government, by intimidation" (Webster); the U.S. Code definition is "any activity...dangerous to human life & intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population & [or] to influence the policy of a government by intimidation".
It has long been recognized that states are the primary terrorists, as they have the resources to intimidate, and terrible forms of intimidation such as torture are engaged in almost entirely by states (in Abu Ghraib, by Saddam Hussein s Iraq and then by the United States). They are what we may call wholesale terrorists, who do their terror business on a large scale, in contrast with retail terrorists, who kill on a smaller scale with their more limited means.
But because the United States and many of its clients like Israel and Colombia—and for many years Argentina, Brazil, Chile, El Salvador, Guatemala, Uruguay, South Africa and Turkey, among others—have used terrorism as a mode of governing, or of extending their domains, by intimidation, official usage has downgraded state terrorism and tended to confine the use of the word to retail terrorism. Exceptions are made where politically convenient, so that the former Soviet Union, Libya and Cuba can be guilty of terrorism and sponsoring terrorism, and retail terrorists under U.S. protection like Savimbi in Angola, the Nicaraguan contras, and the Cuban refugee network still engaging in hit and run attacks against Cuba, are classed as freedom fighters rather than terrorists (in contrast with Mandela s African National Congress and the Palestine Liberation Organization, both long classed as terrorist groups). Three of the four Cuban expatriate terrorists recently pardoned by the president of Panama are U.S. citizens, and after their release from prison returned immediately to their safe haven in Miami (perhaps to work, as some wag has suggested, on the Florida Board of .Elections).
Naturally, officials can only get away with this ludicrous evasion of wholesale terrorism and focus on selected retail terrorisms with media cooperation, which has always been forthcoming. Although the New York Times did very briefly mention the conclusion of Argentina s National Commission on Disappeared Persons whose work followed the ouster of the military government in 1983, that the terrorism of the military government had been infinitely worse than that of the retail terrorists they were exterminating (along with many many non-terrorist dissidents), throughout the years of Argentine state terrorism the Times confined the use of the word terrorism to the acts of the retail terrorists, also frequently referred to as extremists, in accord with the official agenda.
It should be obvious that war and military conquest involves wholesale terrorism on an especially large scale, and state terrorism should also include a military buildup and development of weaponry designed to produce fear and compliance with the demands of the stronger. Is a nuclear war threat and the brandishing of nuclear weapons not a case of trying to influence a government [or many governments] by intimidation ? As the United States has monopolized brandishing and using nuclear weapons, this is not found to be terrorism in the West, by application of the only-if-they-do-it definition and rule.
The same definition and rule explains why war and conquest are not terrorism: it fits the wrong party too often. But the fit is close: it was openly acknowledged during the bombing war against Yugoslavia in 1999 that the intent was to force a quick surrender by displaying overwhelming force and ravaging Serbia, and this plan was warmly greeted in the United States by liberal pundits like Thomas Friedman ( It should be lights out in Belgrade: every power grid, water pipe, bridge, road and war-related factory has to be targeted.
Like it or not, we are at war with the Serbian nation (the Serbs certainly think so), and the stakes have to be very clear: Every week you ravage Kosovo is another decade we will set your country back by pulverizing you. You want 1950? We can do 1950. You want 1389? We can do 1389 too, Stop the Music, New York Times, April 23, 1999). This was clearly an attempt to influence the policy of the government by intimidation, the intimidation eventually explicitly aimed at civilians and civilian facilities, therefore constituting both terrorism and a clear violation of basic international law (but aggressively supported by Louise Arbour and the Yugoslavia Tribunal). The ideas that this was self-defense or even defense of Kosovo Albanians, and was forced by Serbian violence and the exhaustion of negotiating options, are completely indefensible (see Diana Johnstone s Fools Crusade and Michael Mandel s How America Gets Away With Murder).
The U.S. attack on Afghanistan was a source of widespread fear in that poor country which was receiving large-scale international aid to prevent mass starvation. Unknown numbers died in fear-based flight from U.S. bombs and the disruption of aid service, and many thousands many more than died at 9/11—were victims of collateral damage. Collateral damage killings were exceptionally large because there was no political cost to killing Afghan civilians, so bombing civilian sites based on rumor and unverified information was commonplace, besides which many areas bombed contained civilians friendly to the Taliban and hence were more than expendable ( This is an area of enormous sympathy for the Taliban and Al Qaeda, said General Gregory Newbold, about the killings at the wedding ceremony at Kakrak; or The people in this vicinity clearly were connected to those activities, as Rumsfeld said about a mass killing of civilians at Karam village). This was wholesale terrorism, even if the United States had a right to deal with the perpetrators of 9/11 the thousands of dead Afghanis were not perpetrators and were not responsible for acts of the Taliban, and the U.S. attack was in straightforward violation of the UN Charter.
The same of course was true of the invasion-occupation of Iraq, the initial Shock and Awe invasion bombing plan pointing up the importance of the use of fear as well as force as means of intimidating the Iraqi army and populace. Both the invasion and occupation have been characterized by the lavish use of firepower, including cluster bombs and depleted uranium munitions, in heavily populated areas to keep U.S. casualties low (at the expense of Iraqi civilian casualties) and to intimidate any opposition. Estimates of Iraqi civilian deaths under the occupation run up to 37,000 and beyond. Sweeps with mass arrests based on minimal information stoked fear and anger, and helped fill Abu Ghraib and other prisons, the Red Cross claiming that U.S. officials acknowledged that 70-90 percent of those seized and imprisoned—with many tortured— were taken by mistake and presumably on the basis of misinformation or no information of oppositional activity. These terroristic practices, carried out in support of a completely illegal invasion and occupation, helped stoke a major insurgency in Iraq. However, for the U.S. establishment and media, local resistance to this wholesale terrorism was evil and outlawry, and the only behavior properly designated by the word terrorism. This requires eye aversion, internalization of the belief in the U.S. right to commit aggression and the absence of any right of the people attacked to resist, and the use of the only-if-they-do-it definition.
For the Bush administration the invasion-occupation of Iraq is part of the war on terrorism, and so is the support of the governments of Colombia, Indonesia, Israel, the Philippines, Russia, Turkey and Uzbekistan, all involved in local wars of repression that involve serious state terrorism. The buildup of U.S. arms and bases throughout the globe is part of the war on terrorism, but it and the underlying policy documents that give it intellectual rationale clearly relate to power projection and the determination to dominate, not reaction to terrorism. These all bespeak a war of terrorism, not a war on terrorism. | https://archives.cira-marseille.info/raforum/spip.php?article1758 | dclm-gs1-267850011 | false | false | {

The Castaway
Life is a pursuit of happiness for some, and the search for money and power for others and these two goals are not always synonymous with each other. We often find ourselves beginning these journeys without ever knowing ourselves as separate and unique individuals. We copy the behavior that we like and disregard that which is displeasing in other people. Such behavior while viable is a shortcut to existing within the human framework we call society. Living in this manner is detrimental to personal happiness and identity. We all view the world through slightly different lenses, colored with the hue of our own biases and desires. Finding oneself among so much fabrication and betrayal is difficult and a very different journey for each person. Continue reading “The Castaway”
Trade war on the Horizon?
Today’s America
I remember growing up and learning in school about Republicans and Democrats. I also remember being explained the stark differences between the two parties. I grew older, joined the army and traveled the world. I smelled the stench of politics and political correctness on everything in the service. I got out of the Army and wanted to make a difference in my country. It is demoralizing to see the decay of a great country. This decay has been brought about by corruption and greed. The apathy of the general population is sickening. Far too many people believe everything they are spoon fed by pundits and reporters that are receiving their information from government disinformation agents. Oh does that sound too conspiratorial for you? It’s a fact a simple web search will reveal that propaganda has been legalized for use on the American people. This country was founded to escape tyranny! The criminals that run this country want power and money, they behave like full blown sociopaths. It is all about consolidating power with these people, if they can even be afforded such an honor of that title. This country seems to be heading for implosion. You might ask yourself why would our greedy, heartless leaders let this happen. They are on the top and with a collapse, they have less competition and more power to fuel their god complexes. You have plenty of people that won’t believe a word of this. Then you have the others that say, well there is nothing we can do about it; it has always been that way. This is a straight cop out. We the people are the power of this country. If we willingly continue to play along with the charade of freedom, we will forever be slaves. WE have the power to restore true liberty and freedom in this country!! This apathy is a reflection of the apathy these sociopaths have for us as American citizens. We are commodities to be traded on the stock market. The “Federal Reserve” isn’t a federal organization. It’s a collection of private bankers. They loan money to the government with interest that the government can never hope to pay back. This country was founded and was intended for the congress to have the power to print money. Politics and politicians have degenerated into money making schemes and over-paid prostitutes. A man or woman can’t get elected without the money powers backing them. We have Senators and Congressmen that spend most of their lives in Congress, and it’s not because they are loyal to the people. They are loyal to their pimps! We need term limits and we need those gangsters in their shiny suits to stop printing money for our country!!!!!!! | https://ascensionblog.com/tag/chaos/ | dclm-gs1-267860011 | false | false | {

0.036498 | <urn:uuid:c7a99cbe-cd33-492b-8216-6d7128a7c6e2> | en | 0.966049 | Is it possible to buy bulk amounts of shifting/brake cable for road bikes? It would be nice to just have a spool of wire that you run onto your frame and then cut off only as much as you need.
A Google search for "bike cable spool" doesn't really result in much, surprisingly...
How do bike shops deal with this? Surely they don't buy individual packs of cable for every bike do they?
I know you can buy cable housing in bulk, so I was surprised when I couldn't find similar for just the cable...
The problem that you'll likely run into is the stop in the lever/shifter ends. I'm not aware of any systems that will accept bare cable at this end:
Cable Ends
If you wanted to pair your spool of wire with some sort of crimper (or go all out with some sort of mold/press), you could make your own - but investing $3,000 - $30,000 on some machine that melts metal on the end of the cables probably isn't worth your while.
I don't have much experience with bike shops (I buy most everything on eBay), but I would think they have boxes of these cables packaged in bulk like this:
Bulk Cables
• That makes complete sense, I'm not sure why I didn't think of that. I haven't ever really looked at that end of the cable very closely before. I assumed it was something that was crimped on. – Jake Wilson Apr 30 '12 at 18:53
Bulk rolls of cut to fit cable housing are available. But only bulk quantities of precut cables are available, due to the cable ends.
For a home user, bulk purchase like this would last for many years service needs, and generally won't save a significant amount of money. Unless you are ordering parts for your local club, I would suggest buying what you need, when you need it, with maybe one backup set in the garage.
Of course, though it depends what you call "bulk quantity". I am going to assume home user fixing several bikes per year at most. For larger quantities, you might consider asking for special discounted offers for bulk purchases,
First of all, there are kits with all necessary parts to replace all of a bike's cables. This one goes for under $12 with free world-wide shipping.
enter image description here
On the other hand, every LBS sells
• shifter cable (1BGN)
• brake cable (1BGN)
• cable housing (2BGN/meter)
• housing end caps (0.2-0.7BGN)
• cable end caps (0.1BGN)
Those are all you need. Just ask them, buy some quantity, and have it at home. Also buy a dedicated bike cable and housing cutter (30BGN). When there is a problem, you reach for your tools and parts bin and 10 minutes later the cables are replaced, all by yourself.
They do. All cables are manufactured to a standard length, then cut after installation to fit.
• 1
Standard length being ~6 feet or 2 metres. Which is perfectly adequate to suit most bikes. If you have a tall bike, tandem, or recumbent then the longer 3 metre / 10 foot cables can be bought as well, for not a lot more. – Criggie Jan 12 at 7:46

How much does Midas charge for a brake job?
A full rotor or drum replacement (including new brake pads or brake shoes) costs $350-$1200 per axle. Your price will depend on your vehicle and location. For other brake services, start with a Midas 55-point brake inspection.
Should I replace all 4 rotors?
As long as you have both front disk brake pads replaced and rotors turned or replaced as well, it should be fine to complete the rear brakes shortly after. Although it is recommended by Ford to replace all four wheel brakes at the same time for safety, your idea should be OK.
Can I just replace brake pads and not rotors?
How do I know when my brakes need changing?
5 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Brake PadsSqueaking or Squealing Noise Coming From Brakes. The first sign that it’s time to replace your brake pads is if you hear persistent squeaking or squealing. … Indicator Light Turns On. … Deep Grinding Metal Sound. … Vibrating Brake Pedal. … Brake Pads Appear Less Than A ¼ Inch Thick.
How much should a full brake job cost?
A complete brake repair — one that includes pad, rotor and caliper replacement — typically averages between $300 and $800. However, depending on the make and model of your vehicle, you can easily spend more than $1,000 on a complete brake job.
How much does it cost to have brake pads replaced?
Are front brakes more expensive than rear brakes?
If you have rear disc brakes, this repair (with just the standard pad/rotor replacement) will run $25-$75 higher than the front brake repair, on average. … Rear drum brake jobs are normally in the area of $250-$350, on average.
How many miles does a brake job last?
How much does it cost to replace front brakes and rotors?
Expect a brake job of replacing brake pads and rotors to cost $250-$400 per axle on average.
Are grinding brakes dangerous?
Further driving could damage the brake discs or drums. Grinding brakes are caused by excessively worn brake linings; when the lining wears off, the metal part of the brake pad or brake shoe contacts the brake disc or drum and can quickly ruin the most expensive mechanical parts of the brake system. | https://bitstockpower.com/qa/at-what-percentage-should-brakes-be-replaced.html | dclm-gs1-267990011 | false | false | {

0.151827 | <urn:uuid:cb1b6dbf-d612-4c7f-9cbe-f2ab8cff4fe2> | en | 0.990258 | "No, no, no! Don't kill it!" cried the colonel. "I told you not to!"
Felix sighed, keyed the safety back on. "So you did, colonel. But I thought that, since you're…"
"Don't think, Felix. I'll tell you when."
Felix counted to ten.
"Yes, Colonel?"
"You didn't kill it, did you?"
"No, Colonel."
"Still got it, then?"
"Colonel, there's no third way."
"Uh, yes. Of course. All right, Felix. I have you on my holos now. We'll be there shortly." There was a pause. "Felix, I want that ant."
"I want you to have it, Colonel," he replied flatly, keying off the frequency with a vicious snap of his chin and turning to…
The ant struck him so hard it unhinged his senses. He was unaware of the blazer flying from his grasp, unaware of spinning through the air, unaware of falling. Only when he slammed to the hard floor of the gulley behind the dune, some fifteen meters below his perch, did he react-in agony. He put a gloved hand to the back of his neck. He had landed there, a concussion that would have killed an unsuited man instantly and which should have broken his neck, but hadn't.
Why am I still alive? he had time to wonder before the shadow loomed over him and there was no time for anything but the struggle and maybe no time even for that for all was cloudy and indistinct, the ant hazy before him, but moving so quickly, hammering at him, smashing at his chest and faceplate but he couldn't seem to move so quickly as he should, as if he were in a thick mist that held him but freed the ant to rake and pummel him from side to side. My God! My God!
And then, suddenly, his eyes snapped into focus upon the coarse fibers of the ant's midsection swinging before him and the claws smacking down viselike onto his upper arms and the pincers… the pincers!
One of the pincers was already into the waist seam, it's curved, scimitar-sharp edge slipping into the narrow slot and sawing machinelike back and forth within it. The image froze him. The image, this image, of death-of Death, dammit!- seconds, moments away. The seam wedged through and splitting and him, Felix, all of him, his thoughts and memories and bones and intestines spewing out the tiny hole, pulsing crushed stone-frozen blood jutting…
"No! NO!" he shouted in a disgusted furious refusal. "NO!"
And he erupted. He had no purchase, no leverage, no position-the ant had all of those, leaning over and down upon him, claws and pincers wedging and tearing. But he had fear. He had that. Felix erupted with that. He shook and warped back and forth. He vibrated and wrenched. Up and down and back and forth, none of it enough by itself, but none of it alone. He dragged one leg loose, got a knee up, got an armored boot planted firmly. He lifted up off the sand, bringing the ant with him, and slammed back down against it.
The concussion tore one of the claws free of its grip. It tore the pincer clutching his waist seam off at the joint. Felix used his free arm to hammer at the ant's skull again and again and again and again and….
And then he was free from it and backing away, chest heaving. The ant stood erect, too, coming at him again. But free now and ready, he stepped inside of the arc of the sideswiping claws and pounded upward into the thorax with three rocketing forearms in a row. The ant staggered straight back and fell full-length into the sand.
All right! Felix thought, stepping forward to drive his boot into the brain case with a single, hurtling…
"Felix!" shouted Shoen from the far end of the gulley. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"
He spun around toward her furiously, his chest still heaving. "What the hell does it look like?" he demanded.
There were two warriors with her as well as someone wearing one of those all-size p-suits. One of the warriors, he noticed, was holding his blaze-rifle.
"I told you not to kill that ant," she said angrily.
He pointed a shaking finger at the creature struggling to rise. "You shoulda told him," he snapped back.
"Felix, I told you I wanted it alive."
"He's all yours. Colonel," he replied stepping aside as it rose to its pads and lumbered toward them.
"Huh? Oh. Ling! Kill it."
One of the warriors raised an arm and blazed its head neatly off. It collapsed as if exhausted into a heap. Felix stared, unable to speak.
"All right, people, get to work," added Shoen. The others hurried past Felix toward the body. One of the warriors handed him his blazer.
"Here you go. Scout," he said pleasantly.
Felix nodded dumbly. He snapped the rifle into place on his back. He stared at the three busying themselves with the carcass. He stared at Shoen, walking easily toward him. He shook his head as if to clear it.
Shoen, looking at him, laughed suddenly, all trace of anger gone. She patted him on the shoulder heavily. "Easy there, Felix," she began. "I know it must seem a little…"
He shoved her arm angrily away.
She laughed again, turned to the others. "Is it all right? What you need?"
The tech wearing the p-suit looked up from her work.
"No damage?" insisted Shoen.
The p-suit shrugged. "Nothing important. Missing a pincer." Shoen regarded Felix once more. She seemed to be holding back more laughter with great effort. "What happened to its pincer, Felix?"
Felix forced his voice to stay calm and flat. "My guess would be birth defect, Colonel."
Shoen laughed again, a pleasant, breathy sound. "I see," she replied, reaching forward and pulling the pincer loose from his waist. "And what do you suppose this is?"
Felix glanced down. "Lodge pin," he said.
Shoen laughed again. She tossed the pincer away.
"Got it, Colonel!" cried the p-suit, holding something in the air for them to see. Felix stared. The tech held a length of ant spine between her gloved hands. It twisted and turned in her grip like a beheaded serpent.
"Great," replied Shoen. "You three hurry up and get that back to the Bunker."
"Have they dropped it yet?" asked one of the warriors, Ling, the one who had blazed the ant.
"They will have by the time you get back." The Colonel looked at Felix again. "You oughta come, too, Felix. Should be quite a sight."
Felix only stared at her. She laughed again.
"Colonel?" called the tech. "Aren't you coming?"
"No. You three go ahead. I'll stay here with our scout."
She waved them off. "Felix, you really don't know what's going on here, do you?"
"You usually sleep during Briefings, do you?" Felix took a deep breath.
"What Briefings are those. Colonel?"
"Don't tell me you haven't been Briefed, Felix…"
"Very well."
"Must've been ten Briefings on this drop. There were two on the bunker alone."
"Imagine that."
She looked at him. "Felix, they wouldn't have dropped you without a Briefing."
"Of course not."
"That would be insane."
"They'd never do it."
Now she stared at him. "Are you telling me… ? But, why? Why would they do that?"
He shrugged. "Why not?"
She wanted more. Under her repeated urging, Felix gave it to her. He told her, without detail, of how he had been both assigned and dropped within twenty-four hours. No briefing. No explanation. No option.
Shoen found it incredible.
Felix shrugged again. "Welcome to Banshee."
Shoen stared at him. "But, Felix, I've never heard of such a… Hold it a second," she said suddenly, cocking her head. For the next few moments she was silent, conversing, no doubt, on a frequency he didn't receive with brass he didn't know. She broke off at last. "C'mon, Felix. I've got to get back to the Bunker. They've got another snip for us."
"Spinal section. C'mon. Uh…" She hesitated.
Felix pointed across the dunes. "That way."
"Of course," she muttered.
They set off for the original Transit Area with Felix in the lead. It took longer than it should have for Shoen kept stopping and looking around her. Felix studied her carefully each time she did this, furiously hoping for some sign of purpose. For any sign of any kind that would tell him that she was not what she appeared to be: a tourist.
After several stops and much rubbernecking he gave up. She was Lt. Colonel Shoen, his boss, and a rookie. She had never been on Banshee before. The realization chilled him. Halfway there she stopped abruptly, said "Dammit!"
He stopped beside her and waited, not at all sure he wanted to know.
She looked at him and shook her head. "Dammit," she said again. "They've dropped it already."
He took a chance. "Dropped what?"
"The bunker, of course."
Felix sighed. "Of course."
"You don't know about that either?"
She stared at him, gloved hands on armored hips. "Felix, what are you doing on this drop? Why are you here?"
"Therapy," he said, remembering the psychotech.
"Come again?"
"I don't know. Colonel. I really don't. Tell me about the bunker."
They started walking again, side by side, up the long sloping edge of a dune. When they reached the top, Shoen pointed a heavy armored arm and said: "That's the bunker. Quite a sight, isn't it?"
Less than a quarter of a kilometer away, on the broad flat beach beside the poison sea where he had first dropped, where before there had been nothing but flat sand and nervous warriors, was a building.
Felix stopped dead still when he saw it. It was indeed quite a sight. Felix shook his head. A building. A man-made building, on Banshee.
"It's huge," he breathed, half to himself.
Beside him, Shoen laughed. "Ten meters high, twenty meters deep, twenty meters wide. It's got walls three meters deep and three stories. It could house our mere two hundred and fifty warriors and scouts…"
"House? What do you mean, house?"
She laughed again. "It's got pressure integrity, Felix. You can go inside that thing and take off your suit and grab a meal and a shower. What do you think?"
Felix looked at her. He decided not to say what he thought. Instead, he asked: "Why?"
Something in the measure of his appalled disgust leaked through to her. She studied him for a moment uncertainly. Then she told him what he should have been told before, what the drop was all about.
"Felix, we're here to count ants." When he said nothing to this, she added quickly: "Of course, there's more to it than that."
But there wasn't, he saw after awhile. There wasn't. She only thought there was. She and Fleet and… the rest of the fools running the war.
Surprisingly, he had already had a few clues. They had dropped him along with three other scouts and some thirty other warriors that morning at dawn with instructions to head due east and look for what had come to be called a Dorm. Felix had known about Dorms. He had known about them for a long time now, ever since they had thought of them as supply dumps for the ants. And when he had, with the others, stepped over that last dune and seen that low squat structure sitting innocently in the sand, the full measure of that nightmare, that first nightmare, had come back to him. Of dropping that very first time in those rows and rows of scurrying, jamming ants and firing blindly in terror at everything and anything until his blazer had overheated and his mind had over-amped.
When it had all been over, in seconds, he alone had survived.
I am A-team, he had said to himself. There had been no one else to say it to.
And that had been only the beginning. After that had come the Knuckle and Forest and Bolov and other things that Dorms, the mere sight or thought of them, always brought back to him. And he had reached for his blaze-bombs as always, not wanting to remember or consider or anything else, just wanting to destroy this one as he had destroyed all others he had seen since. To destroy it quickly and move on and… and nothing else. Just not remember.
But the Captain that morning had stopped him. "We don't want it blown," he had said to Felix and to everyone else there. "Is that clear? We want it intact."
Felix had looked at the Captain as he had looked at Shoen and asked: "Why?"
And now he was finding out. Or at least he was getting an answer of sorts: to count ants.
Specifically, to count the ants in a Dorm. Fleet had learned that ants came in two packages. Hives and Dorms. Hives were the main outposts, the main threats, of course. It was from the Hives that the ants directed their assaults on the humans, both on Banshee herself and in space. The Hives were the main targets. But the Dorms were important, too. They did, in fact, serve as supply dumps of sorts. Supply dumps of ants. Thousands and thousands of ant eggs or larvae or whatever was used were stored in these Dorms throughout Banshee. They operated as support for Hives or, rarely, alone.
What Fleet wanted to know now, was their capacity for support. Their exact capacity. How many ants could be built before the supply would run out? That was the reason for the Bunker.
"There are no other ant outposts in this area," explained Shoen as they worked their way toward the activity. "Our job is to sit tight and wait for the ants to attack the bunker. Then we kill them and count them." "They'll keep coming."
"Of course they will. And we'll get that bunch too. And the next and the next. But how long can they keep coming alone? There's nothing around here to help them. Sooner or later they are bound to start feeling the pressure, either in numbers, or in quality."
Felix nodded, seeing it. "That's why you want samples of the spinal cord."
"Exactly, Felix. Very good. We know the normal standards. When shoddy work starts showing up, we'll have a good idea how much they can take. So it's not just to count ants. It's to find out how they build them so damn quickly."
They had reached the last of the dunes. They started across the edge of the beach, circling toward the sea to avoid the construction. A huge machine surrounded by a dozen workers wearing bright orange p-suits was being set up along the perimeter.
"Watch this," said Shoen with some satisfaction. Felix obeyed, stopping beside her. Ready to accept anything by now.
The machine started up with a horrendous roar and a huge cloud of sand. Almost at once, the cloud began to settle. From atop the machine, which was now rolling slowly forward on huge treads, a nozzle had appeared. It was spraying some clear substance into the atmosphere that seemed to cause the dust to coalesce. Soon the cloud of sand was all but gone.
"Siliconite 18," Shoen explained, "a sand clotter. It keeps the dust out of the air and makes certain the foundation of the bunker is firm enough to hold it."
Felix nodded, barely listening, entranced by the incredible sight before him. From the back of the machine, a wall was appearing. It was like some bizarre magician's trick, an optical illusion. The front of the machine sucked in the sand. The back of it emitted that same sand in the form of a five-meter-tall, perfectly smooth wall.
Shoen chuckled beside him. Can't have a fort without a wall, can you?"
Felix looked at her. She pointed an armored arm. "The wall will go all the way around the fort in a square, protecting all three sides not covered by the sea. We'll have blazer cannon mounted on top with crossfire covering a killing area of a million square meters. Something, huh?"
But what he was thinking, what he had been thinking all along, through all of her explanations and enthusiasm, was that none of this had really answered his question. None of it really told him: Why?
He shook himself suddenly, angrily. Why should it, dammit? Why this time instead of any other time? What was the matter with him? The why of it made no more difference than the insanity. This was Banshee! He shook himself again. Banshee! Remember it!
"Felix? Is there something wrong?"
He looked at her. "No."
She wasn't satisfied. "Something on your mind?"
"What do you mean?"
"Is there something about all of this you don't like? If there is, tell me. I really want to hear your opinion."
She turned away from him. She seemed embarrassed. "I saw what you did with that Ant." She turned back to him quickly. "Oh, just the last part of it. You were free before we had a chance to do anything. Really!"
He shrugged. "I believe you."
"Do you really?"
He stared at her. "Of course."
"Good. I'm glad. Because, well…"
He didn't want to hear this. He didn't want to hear any of it. He said something about her being expected inside.
"Oh," she said, rebutted. "Right." And the two of them continued on to the bunker in silence.
Felix was grateful for the silence. It was not that he feared her confessing no combat experience, for he knew that already and knew what to say upon hearing it. And if she went further, if she told him she was nervous and uncertain, he would know what to say. Even if she went so far as to tell him, outright, how scared she was, he could handle it. He had heard it before, from many others. He knew the noncommittal mouthings that were required from him in reply and he could give them to her as easily as he had given them to everyone else. But if she went further still, if she took that next step, he was lost. If she asked him to help her…
He hated it when they asked him that. He hated it because he always said he would-what else could he tell them? What else was there to do but say. Yes, I'll help you? What else was there to do but lie?
For this was Banshee and the ants were coming for them as they always came and there would be too many as there always were and they would come so quickly-too quickly, it would all happen too damn fast for anyone to help anyone else or even think of anything but the horror of it and the desperate all-consuming need to escape it. And even if someone wanted to help her, wanted her safety so much that he would turn his back on the rampaging slaughter, would open himself to it for her sake… Even if someone cared that much, even if he cared that much, even if he did… The Engine did not.
Shoen stopped just before they reached the crowd and stuck out her hand. "My name's Canada, by the way. Since we're going to be spending a lot of time together, we might as well introduce ourselves. Canada Shoen."
He took her armored hand in his. "Felix."
"Just Felix?" she asked. "No other name?"
Not anymore, he thought, but said only: "Just Felix."
"Oh," she said, still gripping his hand as though she wanted to say something else but didn't know what. "Oh," she said again, dropping his hand a moment later.
Felix said nothing either, though he knew what he wanted to say, knew damned well.
"I can't help you," he wanted to say. But he didn't. He never did.
Everyone seemed to know Shoen, many by her first name. Dozens of voices called out to her when they arrived in front of the bunker. Several of the people wearing the bright orange p-suits-engineers, it turned out-dropped what they were doing and rushed over to her, blurting out progress reports and enthusiasm. It didn't seem to Felix that they felt the need to inform her so much as they seemed to need someone to share their excitement.
Shoen was eager to do that, recognizing each and every one of them on sight, and, more importantly, understanding the significance of each breathless announcement. She tried, at first, to keep him up with it all. He was introduced to far too many strangers in the first several seconds. He had little hope of recalling even a third of their names, and no hope whatsoever of understanding their individual functions. After a few moments, he gave up, turning away from Shoen & Co. and simply staring at the bewildering chaos of construction. Shoen barely noticed his absence, becoming caught up in the momentum almost at once. Within seconds, Felix noted absently, no trace of her earlier uncertainty remained.
But he paid little attention to her group. The sheer spectacle of the rising fort enthralled him. There were at least three other wall-builders that he could see from where he stood, all in use. The comers of the walls had already been erected in place and atop them, more orange suits swarmed about installing what Felix recognized as blazer cannon. Another team of engineers were working on the walls themselves. Half of them worked their way along the top of the wall behind the machine, carving an indented walkway. The other half worked along the bottom of the walls, running power leads for the cannon and what appeared to be a huge command platform erected entirely of plastifomi just behind the midpoint of the main wall. The platform had room for fifty people, bulky warrior suits and all, with three separate stairways to get them up there and a broad thick open-air roof to shelter them.
Another platform, this one only a meter tall, had been built in the center of the compound. It was circular, perhaps five meters in diameter, and bisected in the middle by a small wall of its own. Two separate Transit Cones shimmered faintly on either side of the wall, from which figures were being constantly dropped and retrieved, respectively. Also in the compound proper were several plastifomi cubes, geometrically alligned, in which were placed a wide variety of equipment. Felix recognized a great deal of it, the Cangren Cells, the emergency allsize p-size, the extra blaze rifles, the spare parts for the cannon, some tools. But that left a vast array of paraphernalia Felix had never seen before. He couldn't even guess their purposes.
Felix glanced at the dial of his drop timer glowing faintly beneath his holos. He was surprised to see he was less than two hours into the drop. Less than two hours since he and the other members of the forward group had touched down at dawn. During that time he had managed to find the Dorm, chart much of the maze of dunes protecting it, scout for, find, and fight an ant, and return, with Shoen at his side. A busy enough morning, to be sure.
But nothing, he thought, next to this. He watched as the engineers connected a cannon-bearing corner from each side with simultaneous arrivals of twin wall-makers. Amazing. Less than two hours ago there had been nothing here at all and now a walled fort was all but finished-would be finished, in fact, in moments, before his very eyes.
All told, there were at least a thousand figures present. And, except for the group of some two hundred warriors formed up to one side, all were busily working engineers. They were like parts of a single elaborate machine, he thought, gazing at the teeming orange multitudes. "Or ants," he muttered, "building a hive." | https://bluenovels.net/armor-page-21/ | dclm-gs1-268060011 | false | false | {

0.033808 | <urn:uuid:6b27d411-234c-4dc2-b55b-8ef644ba4c74> | en | 0.935652 | Magento is a business platform from open source written in PHP. It uses many other PHP programs, for example, Laminas and Symfony. Magento source code is dispensed under the Open License of Software v3.0. Magento acquired Adobe Inc in May 2018 for $ 1.68 Billion USD.
CommonPlaces uses a Magento network component used by our online customers. Magento’s ability to measure permissions with just a few needs and basic stores to effectively expand a large number of items and complex ethical behaviors without the emergence of categories. Provides an assortment of modules and topics that can be expanded to improve customer comprehension.
There are a lot of ideas for looking at an online store to plan for, and how well-done it depends on the vigilance of the business. In terms of practicality, in any case, this is where the most needed computer programming space is needed.
Magento is intended to be used as an app by a non-developer. The Magento group of people is incredibly large and supportive. Either way, the average person will soon reach the parking lot.
There are various reasons why engineers have been called upon to change the Magento site. A framework that works or how important it is. When you start working with different agencies, or presenting a large number of items, organizations always need the help of experienced manufacturers. For example, we have customers who need additional options for how you view their dashboard. You can usually have the option to see items in 5, 25, or even 50 circles. We have a customer who needs to see 2000. Usability can be modified differently to some degree; in the past, it should be redone by a professional who truly understands Magento, and follows the best practices.
Experienced designers will reveal to you similarly that speed is the norm in online business. No one needs to trust that the frameworks will reload when you make a lot of good purchases on the website. With the strong trap of local highlights in the application, issues can be put in place by your employee. While we don’t yet have a Magento customer looking for more than one employee in their online store, I can predict that this trend will emerge over time.
Benefits of Using Magento
Easy to launch and include more formats and modules
Opening open resources that provide flexible online business settings
An effective and expensive program
It looks at different limitations and developments during registration
Offers over 50 input doors

Disasters triggered by natural hazards are disproportionally impacting housing in low-income countries. During the reconstruction, many affected households do not apply construction techniques that protect them from recurring hazards, such as earthquakes or hurricanes.
To reduce safety risks for affected communities, this study aims to understand what influences decision-making in housing reconstruction to develop effective humanitarian assistance. This study adapts adoption theory to compare decision making of self-recovering households with those that do receive humanitarian aid. This is a novel approach in disaster studies.
Images of natural hazards have become a normality in our daily news feeds. This raises the question of how mankind can be protected from the impact of disasters triggered by natural hazards. The impact on housing makes up for a large share of the damage costs and causalities. It is crucial that housing can withstand the forces of nature.
Humanitarian aid agencies share technical knowledge in different ways. Aid agencies lack the resources and mandate to cover the large demand for housing support, leaving the vast majority of post-disaster communities to reconstruct independently. For example, three years after typhoon Haiyan, affected communities in the Philippines showed little typhoon resistant construction knowledge. In fact, the other actors that would be expected to have such knowledge, such as the local carpentry school and governmental agencies, were also lacking such knowledge. Those that were knowledgeable did not feel responsibility to share knowledge.
Another field study in Nepal showed contrary findings. People who did not have technical assistance from humanitarian agencies actually constructed safer housing. These affected communities gained access to technical knowledge mainly through engineers that were appointed by the government. Funding was only supplied when a house was constructed following rather strict earthquake resistant guidelines. Although this seems to be a positive decision; many households were not satisfied with the end result and had plans to make adaptations in the near future. Adaptations can seriously affect the overall earthquake resistance of the reconstructed dwellings.
This study showed that humanitarian technical assistance was not essential to enhance structural safety, but significantly contributed to the understanding of households of what makes a house safer. In the long-term these households are expected to be more successful in creating satisfactory and safe designs. Results reveal both positive and negative impacts of humanitarian involvement on motivations, abilities and opportunities of affected households. To effectively address their different needs, this study recommends a method to develop targeted communication strategies.
Research has showed that people can be grouped based on these perceptions and learn from each other’s differences. The study calls for an exchange of technical knowledge on an academic and local level. Exchange should include means to embed techniques that are comprehensible to and accepted by those affected. She stresses to respect local priorities even if it does not directly lead to safer structures, and to communicate knowledge in alignment with local habits. | https://buildbacksafer.com/assessing-knowledge-adoption-in-post-disaster-reconstruction/ | dclm-gs1-268140011 | false | false | {

The Walking Dead has released the first full trailer for the six bonus episodes which are being added to the show's tenth season. The trailer, seen in the video above, showcases the past, present, and future for The Walking Dead characters as they were last seen in October's original Season 10 finale episode. Not only is the Commonwealth arriving in full swing but Here's Negan is set to explore Negan's backstory, Maggie has returned and will face a troubled hunger for revenge against Negan, and Aaron seems to have found himself in a troubling situation opposite a new Mays character portrayed by Robert Patrick.
"In these six new episodes, we find our survivors trying to pick themselves up by their bootstraps following the destruction the Whisperers left in their wake," the latest synopsis for the six Season 10 bonus episodes reads. "The years of struggle weigh upon them as past traumas surface, exposing their more vulnerable sides. As they question the state of humanity, the state of their collective community, and the states of their minds, will they find the inner strength to persevere with their lives, friendships, and group intact?"
New guest stars featured in these episodes include Robert Patrick (Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Perry Mason, Scorpion) as Mays and Hilarie Burton Morgan (One Tree Hill, White Collar, Friday Night In with the Morgans) as Negan's late wife Lucille, along with new co-star Okea Eme-Akwari (Greenland, Cobra Kai) as the mysterious masked character Elijah, among others.
"It's in the aftermath of 10A and 10B. It is a part of that story. It's connected to all that," The Walking Dead universe's chief content officer Scott Gimple told "Even like 'Here's Negan' obviously has to do with Negan's backstory, but even then, that is directly connected to the story coming out of season 10. These episodes, I mean... There were six episodes, six weeks. They were written in a... We had to go right at it. Angela [Kang], the staff, some writers from the past, from Walking Dead past, some people who came back to actually work on them. Everybody just gave it their all. And like Fear the Walking Dead, they're concentrated stories because they're shot in a way where we only have a couple of characters that we're focusing on."

With the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak now well and truly a global issue, it’s vital that companies take control of the situation and speak to their customers. Many businesses will sadly need to shut down and either take a prolonged break or never return. With self-isolation becoming a necessity across the board, it’s vital that you start giving people an opportunity to understand what comes next for your business.
It’s a tough thing to get right, but you can normally make it easier with a few choice decisions. Here are some good ideas that might help you get the message across.
Be as clear as possible
The main thing that you might find makes a big difference is being upfront and honest with your customers. Being clear with them that this is a serious, rapidly developing situation is very important. Many people are still being too lenient with regards to vigilance against COVID-19. It is your duty to avoid making those mistakes, and instead of spending time working with the customers to let them understand how serious this is.
COVID-19 is not going to go anywhere if people don’t take action and really push for a prolonged change. That’s a big reason why COVID-19 is going to become something you need to pay attention to – and why you should be making customers aware of how serious it is.
Make it clear that you wouldn’t be shutting down were this not a serious matter for public health.
Focus on safety
At the moment, while your business needs to be bringing in money, you don’t want to focus on that too much. Instead, any COVID-19 announcement made should come on the back of making safety the #1 priority. Always focus that security and safety for all is your most important and most precious part of the decision being made.
The more that people understand you are closing for their benefit, the sooner the message shall sink in with the majority. You should always look to make it clear that this is a decision driven by a desire to simply keep people safe from the spread of the virus.
Apologize for the inconvenience but make it clear that this is to benefit the good people of the public as opposed to anything else. Focus on safety, and people will be much more understanding of your decision to shut-up shop.
Don’t exaggerate
For some reason, some companies are using this time to try and promote their own virtues. Instead of talking about how ‘you are doing everything to solve COVID-19’, make it clear that you are just the same as anyone else. Unless your company works in the essential industries combatting the condition, nobody is expecting you to try and fix the outbreak yourself.
If you run a simple online store, then nobody is going to expect you to be leading the charge against COVID-19 on your own. This is what some more ill-advised claims have been, though. Try and avoid telling people that you are going to solve X or Y for them; make it clear that you are simply doing what is in your legal power to keep people as safe as you realistically can. Don’t try and exaggerate or over-promote your ability to fix things, though.
Address them from above
A good way to make your message really resonates is to ensure that it is directly from the company owner. In times of crisis, leadership is essential. You can show the right level of leadership by addressing everyone from the right position of strength.
Addressing people from above is very important as it can show that the whole company is working together. When it comes from a generic term like ‘the team at COMPANY’, it is nowhere near as effective. You are the company owner, so it falls on you to show empathy and to let people know that you care about them.
Make sure you address them from a position of strength and authority. It shows a greater company understanding of the severity of the situation. Many companies are making the mistake of making this a human resources issue; it’s really not!
If you are staying open, explain why
Many people are expecting every non-essential business to close down during the COVID-9 outbreak. And while that might make sense, some companies are deciding to stay open during the process. If you do choose to do that, you are going to have to explain quite thoroughly as to why you have decided to make such a choice.
This can be hard to put across, but we do recommend that you do this as much as you can. If you are staying open, address customer concerns by breaking down what you are doing to keep the place neat and tidy. Show that you are following regulations and that you are simply not taking a risk for profit.
The more information that you can provide to your customers, though, the more likely they are going to understand your decision and the decisions made to keep people safe.
Try and set a deadline
While nobody really knows when this is going to end, it tends to be good practice to try and offer some kind deadline. While this might not be a deadline you can achieve, it’s better to make people aware that you will return in the future. Many companies are closing without making any promises about coming back, so make people aware that your intention is very much to return in the future.
This is something you should definitely do, as setting a clear deadline will ensure that you can keep people in the loop that deadline approaches. You might even wish to leave a small conclusion listing important charities and health bodies that could be contacted by the customer should they need more information/support.
Basically, this is an unprecedented situation. Nobody has really lived through anything like this for close to a century, if not longer. Being able to provide authority and calm in such worrying times can go a long way to ensuring that your business can keep progressing and trading for the years to come.
With some delicate wording and some empathy, though, you can keep customers updated on your official COVID-19 policy by following along with the above information. Here are some good newsletter examples that might help you. | https://dugadu.com/the-best-practice-on-updating-customers-amid-covid-19/ | dclm-gs1-268400011 | false | true | {

The promotion of 5hmC was mediated by a prompt increase of the intracellular labile Fe(II) pool (LIP). cAMP enhanced the acidification of endosomes for Fe(II) release to the LIP likely through RapGEF2. The effect of cAMP on Fe(II) and 5hmC was confirmed by adenylate cyclase activators, phosphodiesterase inhibitors, and most notably by stimulation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR). The transcriptomic changes caused by cAMP occurred in concert with 5hmC elevation in differentially transcribed genes.

Mass production
Mass production (also flow production, repetitive flow production, series production, or serial production) is the production of large amounts of standardized products, including and especially on assembly lines. The concepts of mass production are applied to various kinds of products, from fluids and particulates handled in bulk (such as food, fuel, chemicals, and mined minerals) to discrete solid parts (such as fasteners) to assemblies of such parts (such as household appliances and automobiles).
The term mass production was defined in a 1926 article in the Encyclopedia Britannica supplement that was written based on correspondence with Ford Motor Co. The New York Times used the term in the title of an article that appeared before publication of the Britannica article.[1] It was also referenced by Sir Chiozza Money, the Fabian banker, politician and author, writing in the London Observer in 1919, comparing the efficiency of mass-production techniques as used in America with British practice.

Mass Production involves making many copies of products, very quickly, using assembly line techniques to send partially complete products to workers who each work on an individual step, rather than making a worker making a whole product from start to finish.
Mass production of fluid matter typically involves pipes with centrifugal pumps or screw conveyors (augers) to transfer raw materials or partially complete product between vessels. Fluid flow processes such as oil refining and bulk materials such as wood chips and pulp are automated using a system of process control which uses various instruments to measure variables such as temperature, pressure, volumetric and level, providing feedback to a controller that holds a setpoint.
One of the descriptions of mass production is that "that stalkers built this country", which means that the worker using the craftsmanship is in the workbench itself" (not the training of the worker). Rather than having a skilled worker were jigs ready at hand to ensure that the part was made to fit this set-up. It had already been checked that the finished part would be to specifications to fit all the other finished parts—and it would be made more quickly, with no time spent on finishing the parts to fit one another. Later, once computerized control came about (for example, CNC), jigs were obviated, but it remained true that the skill (or knowledge) was built into the tool (or process, or documentation) rather than residing in the cell, or each fractionating column) is different (fine-tuned to its task).
Some of the organizational management concepts needed to create 20th-century mass production, such as scientific management, had been pioneered by other engineers (most of whom are not famous, but Frederick Winslow Taylor is one of the well-known ones), whose work would later be synthesized into fields such as industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, operations research, and management consultancy. Henry Ford downplayed the role of Taylorism in the development of mass production at his company. However, Ford management performed time studies and experiments to mechanize their factory processes, focusing on minimizing worker movements. The difference is that while Taylor focused on efficiency of the worker, Ford used machines, thoughtfully arranged, wherever possible to substitute for labor.
Factory electrification
Electrification of factories began very gradually in the 1890s after the introduction of a practical DC motor by Frank J. Sprague and accelerated after the AC motor was developed by Nikola Tesla (Westinghouse) and others. Electrification of factories was fastest between 1900 and 1930, aided by the establishment of electric utilities with central stations and the lowering of electricity prices from 1914 to 1917.[3]
Electric motors were several times more efficient than small steam engines because central station generation were more efficient than small steam engines and because line shafts and belts had high friction losses.[4] [5] Electric motors allowed also more flexibility in manufacturing and required less maintenance than line shafts and belts. Many factories saw a 30% increase in output just from changing over to electric motors.
According to Henry Ford:[7]
Before the 20th century
Ships had been mass-produced using prefabricated parts and assembly lines in Venice several hundred years earlier. The Venetian Arsenal apparently produced nearly one ship every day, in what was effectively the world's first factory which, at its height, employed 16,000 people. Mass production in the publishing industry has been commonplace since the Gutenberg Bible was published using a printing press in the mid-15th century.
In the Industrial Revolution simple mass production techniques were used at the Portsmouth Block Mills to make ships' pulley blocks for the Royal Navy in the Napoleonic Wars. These were also used to make clocks and watches, and to make small arms. Though produced on a very small scale, Crimean War gunboat engines designed and assembled by John Penn of Greenwich are recorded as the first instance of the application of mass production techniques (though not necessarily the assembly-line method) to marine engineering.[11] In filling an Admiralty order for 90 sets to his high-pressure and high-revolution horizontal trunk engine design, Penn produced them all in 90 days. He also used Whitworth Standard threads throughout.[12]
While the preceding American system of manufacturing relied on steam power, mass production factories were electrified and used sophisticated machinery. Adoption of these techniques coincided with the birth of the Second Industrial Revolution in the USA and its emergence as the dominant industrial superpower in the 20th century. Countries that were quick to follow (e.g. Germany and Japan) achieved high rates of growth.
Use of assembly lines in mass production
Vertical integration
Ford built the Ford River Rouge Complex with the idea of making the company's own iron and steel in the same factory as parts and car assembly took place. River Rouge also generated its own electricity.
Advantages and disadvantages
Socioeconomic impacts
Overproduction was a result of mass production. Using a European crafts system into the late 19th century it was difficult to meet demand for products such as sewing machines and animal powered mechanical harvesters.[1] By the late 1920s most goods were over supplied, which contributed to high unemployment during the Great Depression.[14]
Mass production allowed the evolution of consumerism by lowering the unit cost of many goods.

Arm BP difference signals heart problem
arm bp difference signals heart problem
An abnormal difference between blood pressure (BP) measurements of the two arms may be a sign of hidden vascular disease and a higher risk of death.
A British review of 28 blood pressure studies provided significant evidence that measuring blood pressure in both arms should become a routine medical exam.
Findings showed that the high blood pressure difference was tied to higher risk of peripheral vascular disease (PVD), the narrowing of arteries that supply blood to the legs and feet, and cerebrovascular disease, which affects the blood supply to the brain.
Reportedly, a difference of 15mm of mercury or more between the systolic blood pressure (the first or higher number in a BP reading) of arms was associated with a 2.5-fold greater risk of PVD.
The difference of BP measurement was also found to be associated with higher cerebrovascular disease risk, which may lead to strokes, says the report in the journal Lancet.
Researchers noted that there may be a slight natural difference between BP measurements of arms but a high difference may be a sign of blood flow problem.
“By finding a difference in blood pressure between arms it is possible we could investigate potential problems at an earlier stage, even in patients who do not have high blood pressure,” said lead author Dr. Christopher Clark of the Exeter University.
“This means we can do further tests to measure the blood pressure in the legs and where there is PVD give advice on stopping smoking and lifestyle, and if necessary blood thinning drugs or statins,” he added.

Waste: Types, Causes, Effects & Solutions
causes, effects and solutions for waste
Waste can be determined as unusable or unwanted materials. It is usually worthless, defective and/or discarded after primary use. It can be divided into two major categories, household waste and industrial waste.
Both household and industrial waste can pose serious dangers to the environment and thus should be handled with great care.
Audio Lesson
Types of Waste
1. Solid waste
2. Liquid waste
3. Organic waste
4. Hazardous waste
5. Recyclable waste
Solid waste
Solid rubbish includes ceramics and glass, plastics, paper waste as well as metal waste. It can be found in households as well as in industrial processes.
Liquid waste
Liquid waste includes wash water, dirty water, rainwater, water detergents and so on. It is produced by all kinds of entities, including private households and industries.
Organic waste
Organic waste includes garbage from vegetables and fruits as well as all garbage material that can be turned into manure with the support of microorganisms. You should separate organic waste from your conventional waste in order to make it available for reuse by industries.
Hazardous waste
Hazardous waste usually refers to garbage that can pose serious threats to the environment. This usually includes waste that is either toxic, flammable, reactive or corrosive. This sort of waste has to be disposed of with great care in order to ensure safety for our environmental system.
Recyclable waste
Recyclable waste includes all waste items that can be recycled and then reused for other purposes. Recyclable garbage usually includes solid waste items like metal waste or paper.
Recyclable rubbish has to be separated from your other household waste in order to be used for recycling. It is therefore crucial that you put in effort in order to separate your waste properly.
Causes for Waste
1. Household waste
2. Industrial waste
3. Food waste
Household waste
Household waste is post-consumer waste which includes consumer products, home care products, personal care products, automotive care products, household chemicals and more. With the expansion of the world population, the amount of household waste increases dramatically.
Moreover, consumer behavior changed over time which resulted in even more waste production. Examples for that are the increasing number of online purchases. Items purchased online need more wrapping as if bought in a normal store.
Additionally, people return their products quite frequently which causes even more garbage since in many cases, not only the wrapping has to be renewed, even the product itself will be disposed of due to economical or regulatory reasons.
At first glance, consumer waste sounds not as dangerous as industrial waste when it comes to potential adverse effects on our environmental system.
However, household waste can be quite harmful since many products of daily life contain chemicals that can cause an adverse ecological impact if not disposed of appropriately.
In fact, some of these products have many of the same dangerous characteristics as regulated hazardous waste due to their ability for ignitability, reactivity, corrosivity, persistence and toxicity.
Examples include motor oil, fuel, medical waste, cleaning chemicals, consumer electronics and batteries.
Industrial waste
Industrial waste can be defined as the waste caused by industrial activities including waste which is rendered useless during manufacturing.
This includes masonry and concrete, dirt and gravel, scrap metals, oil, chemicals, solvents, scrap lumber and additional garbage items produced by factories, mills and industries.
It may appear in liquid, gaseous or solid form. Industrial waste can be radioactive, toxic, corrosive, ignitable or reactive. It can lead to the pollution of soil, air and water.
Food waste
Large amounts of food are produced every day. However, a big fraction of this food is disposed of even before it reaches our grocery stores. This may be due to minor issues. For example, if a cucumber has too much curvature, it is regarded as not suitable for our grocery stores and therefore is treated as garbage.
This is not only true for cucumbers but also for many other food items. This behavior leads to a huge waste of resources since the food would be suitable for consumption. It is just thrown away because of its unaesthetic physical appearance.
Moreover, even if the food reaches our grocery stores and people buy it, a significant fraction of our food ends up in the garbage since we do not consume it.
In addition, many people are afraid to consume food if the best before date is reached even if the food still is in good shape and not dangerous to human health.
Effects of Waste
1. Environmental impact
2. Economic impact
3. Burning of fossil fuels
4. Mismanagement of waste
5. Gases from industrial processes
6. Global warming
7. Nuclear accidents
Environmental impact
If waste is not disposed of appropriately, it can attract insects and rodents, which in turn can harbor parasites, worms, yellow fever, the plague and other serious conditions for humans. Also, there is a big risk for cancer if humans are exposed to hazardous waste which is burned without sufficient protection.
Toxic waste can pollute groundwater, soil, surface water and air which can cause many problems for humans as well as for environmental health.
Moreover, gases like CO2 and methane, which are a by-product in many production processes, have an adverse impact on our environment since these gases increase the speed of global warming.
Economic impact
There are large economic costs related to managing and appropriate disposal of waste. The long-term consequences may even be more dramatic than short term issues.
For example, the inappropriate disposal of nuclear waste may cause huge environmental problems in the future since the short-term solutions for this issue do not take into account the long-term consequences appropriately.
Burning of fossil fuels
In order to be able to get rid of the huge amounts of waste which are produced every day, significant amounts of fossil fuels have to be burned in this process.
The use of fossil fuels will in turn lead to air pollution and will also increase the speed of global warming since many harmful greenhouse gases will be produced in the combustion processes.
Mismanagement of waste
In order to get rid of waste in a proper way, there have to be effective waste disposal processes in place. If there is a lack of proper processes, mismanagement of waste may be the result.
This could mean that waste is not disposed of in landfills or burned but rather it is just disposed of illegally in forests or lakes. This mismanagement can lead to serious pollution of the environment and therefore can adversely affect many animals and plants.
Gases from industrial processes
There are several harmful gases that are released in the burning process related to waste disposal. These gases may lead to acid rain. Moreover, they may also contribute to the global warming issue. Especially gases like CO2 and Methane are known to be quite harmful greenhouse gases.
Global warming
Through our consumption behavior and the resulting great amounts of waste, the global warming process is enhanced in a dramatic way. On the one hand, the production of goods leads to the emission of greenhouse gases.
On the other hand, also the disposal of waste leads to the emission of greenhouse gases through combustion processes. Thus, through our excessive consumption levels, we indirectly contribute to an increased speed of global warming and its resulting consequences.
Nuclear accidents
Nuclear energy is one of the biggest sources of energy production in our nowadays technological society. In order to get rid of nuclear waste, extreme safety measures have to be taken.
Accidents with nuclear waste could contaminate large areas of land. Moreover, the incorrect disposal of nuclear waste could also harm many animals, plants and even humans. Making things worse, nuclear waste usually takes quite a long time to lose its harmful compounds.
Thus, if nuclear waste is not disposed of properly, the contaminated areas will be useless to humanity for a quite long period of time.
Waste Disposal
Waste disposal can be defined as destroying, storing or getting rid of unwanted industrial, domestic or agricultural products. It can be seen as an action plan to manage waste in a systematic way.
This may include burning, the usage of landfills or discharging waste in oceans, lakes and rivers, which may lead to ocean pollution and other issues.
Moreover, recycling can be a useful and environmental-friendly way to get rid of waste and reuse it for useful products. However, in practice, there are several issues related to the waste disposal process.
Waste Disposal Problems
1. The amount of waste is simply too big
2. Toxicity of waste
3. Landfills are a problem as well
4. Public vs. private interest
5. Missing consensus about the best waste management strategies
6. Ineffective long-term waste disposal strategies
The amount of waste is simply too big
According to the world bank, the world generates 2.01 billion tons of municipal solid waste a year, with at least 33 percent not managed in an environmentally safe manner.
This implies that the worldwide waste generated by an average person amounts to 0.74 kg. Also, high-income industries generate more waste per person than developing countries.
According to the world bank, in 2050, global waste is expected to amount to 3.4 billion tons a year. The total generated waste in low-income countries is expected to increase by over three times by 2050.
This enormous increase in low-income countries is due to the fact that waste production is positively correlated with income. Low-income countries eventually will get richer, thus GDP per person is likely to increase.
As a result, consumption levels and therefore trash production will increase. Another problem can be attributed to our behavior when it comes to consumption.
People always need the newest iPhone, the hippest clothes, a new car and so on. Even when things are still functional, people will throw them away in large amounts to get the newest version.
This attitude towards material things is eventually becoming a huge problem since for the production of all these goods, we have to deplete more and more resources and waste production is a serious adverse by-product of this consumption attitude.
Toxicity of waste
Toxic waste can be the result of chemical, biological or industrial processes. It can also be found in offices or even households. Typical household articles that may result in toxic waste include pesticides, computers, cell phones and batteries.
The handling of toxic waste is a huge worldwide problem. In countries with low regulatory interventions, polluters have not a big incentive to dispose of toxic waste in a responsible manner.
Thus, toxic waste is often disposed of into rivers, lakes or the ocean. In countries with strict regulatory standards, toxic waste is sometimes dumped illegally.
Many developed countries also send their toxic trash to developing countries in order to get rid of it. In these developing countries, people lack the expertise to handle this toxic waste safely, which may result in health problems for the local population.
Landfills are a problem as well
A landfill is a method for depositing waste in specially constructed protected cells. Landfills still play an important role in waste management strategies, despite the fact that more and more waste is reused or recycled.
The problem with landfills is that they result in the production of gases and leachate which can cause problems to human health. Since these gases consist mainly of methane and carbon dioxide, they also contribute to climate change. Additionally, landfills also emit other gases which in some cases are even toxic.
Moreover, the leachate can reach the surface or groundwater and thus hurt the environment. Additionally, the construction of new landfills may impact the environmental surroundings in an adverse way.
Also, people who are living close to landfills are complaining about smoke, flies, odors and noise and thus are impacted in a negative way.
Public vs. private interest
Public and private interests usually diverge if it comes to the protection of the environment. On the one hand, private companies try to maximize profits and usually don’t care too much about adverse negative externalities on the environment. On the other hand, it is in the public interest to save and conserve nature and our ecosystem.
Thus, it is necessary for regulatory authorities to impose strict rules of conduct on industries in order to ensure economic sustainability. The problem is that even governments are largely influenced by the big companies. Big companies are lobbying for an excessive depletion of resources at the cost of environmental health.
Some governments are corrupt and thus accept the depletion of the resources in their country if they can also benefit from the financial upside. This leads to excessive depletion of resources and an enormous amount of waste produced globally.
Missing consensus about the best waste management strategies
In the discussion for finding optimal waste management strategies, there is little consensus on which strategy actually makes sense and which should be abandoned. For example, electric cars are officially considered as „green“, but the production and recycling of the batteries still poses a big source of trash.
Moreover, also in the discussion of waste management strategies, companies have an incentive to lobby for their interests in order to increase their profits which may diverge from public interest.
Ineffective long-term waste disposal strategies
Many countries are simply overwhelmed and are not able to manage trash in an appropriate manner. Therefore, these countries often use short-term methods to get rid of their trash, while not taking into account the long-term consequences of their actions.
Moreover, especially in developing countries, technologies for waste disposal are far less advanced than in developed countries. This leads to inefficiencies in the trash disposal process.
Solutions for the Waste Problem
1. Education and raising awareness
2. Regulations regarding negative externalities
3. Effective waste management systems and resource management plans
4. Re-use and recycling of materials
5. Convince others
Education and raising awareness
In order to solve the issue of waste, we have to educate people on how their daily life habits adversely affect the environment. This has to start early in school as part of the obligatory subjects like math or geography.
People have to get aware of what they are doing, what consequences their actions have for other people and the environment and how to improve their behavior. For example, coffee to go is so popular in our society now. Yet, the number of cups thrown away after just one usage is dramatic.
Paying attention to this small detail and stop using disposable cups would reduce the waste problem quite a bit. There are several more things to do in our daily lives in order to reduce garbage which is not hard at all. People are just convenient and do not care about it. We have to raise awareness of this issue in order to reduce the amount of waste.
Regulations regarding negative externalities
If people are too convenient or not willing to reduce their garbage, there should be interventions by governments or local communities. This could be a scheme in which sustainable behavior is acknowledged and harmful behavior is punished.
This could be in the form of financial upside through the form of reduced taxes for good environmental behavior and increased taxes for harmful economic behavior. This system should also be valid for industries.
If an industry imposes negative externalities on the environment, this should result in financial compensation for the community. With this approach, firms would have a big incentive to develop economical-friendly systems and to reduce their adverse impact.
Effective waste management systems and resource management plans
An effective waste management system is crucial for sustainable economic and ecological development. However, the waste management system should be used in conjunction with a profound resource management plan (RMP).
An RMP is part of an integrated material management plan, in which a municipality makes deliberate decisions about how materials should flow.
An RMP includes specific tactics on how to deal with certain materials after these materials had been consumed. This includes the prevention, generation, reuse, recovery, collection, transfer, recycle and disposal tactics.
Re-use and recycling of materials
Many waste products from industries could be reused in other industries, yet it may be too costly at this point in time and not economically worth it. Thus, private companies are rather throwing away their by-products than to sell them to other companies who could reuse them.
The government or municipals should support research in order to find more effective solutions for the reuse of waste products so that our natural resources can be used in the most efficient manner and garbage will be reduced.
Convince others
As we have seen, our actions matter! However, in order to be able to make an even more significant impact to mitigate the waste problem, we also should convince our family and friends to change their waste production behavior. We can do this on a daily basis. For example, if you go shopping, you can convince your friends to use reusable bags instead of plastic bags.
If you cook together, you can convince your family or friends that waste separation is crucial in order to reduce the adverse impact of waste on our environment.
Through all these little but quite effective measures, you can have a much bigger impact than if you just apply these measures but never talk about them.
There are many problems related to the management of waste in our world today. Households and industries produce don’t care enough yet to reduce this problem. This issue has a dramatic impact on the ecological system. Inefficient or flawed waste management systems can lead to the spread of diseases.
Moreover, burning waste leads to the emission of greenhouse gases which contributes to global warming. In order to mitigate this problem, waste management must be developed further to a place where almost every material can be recycled. Moreover, we have to raise the awareness of people to change their behavior in daily life.
People should be convinced to use things longer than they do in current times. People replace things that are actually working through things that are trendier.
We have to get to a place where reusing stuff is the trendiest thing on earth and buying new stuff is dodgy in order to solve the waste problem.

What is Aloe Vera?
Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis miller) is a shrubby, perennial, succulent, pea-green color plant. The word Aloe derives from the Arabic word “Alloch” meaning “shining bitter substance.” The word Vera in Latin means “true.” The Egyptians named Aloe Vera “the plant of immortality”
Since the mid-1930’s it has been used to treat chronic and severe radiation dermatitis.
Aloe Vera is a natural product that contains 75 potentially active constituents; vitamins, enzymes, minerals, sugars, lignin, saponins, salicylic acids and amino acids.
Vitamins: It contains vitamins A (beta-carotene), C and E, which are antioxidants. It also contains vitamin B12, folic acid and choline.
Enzymes: It contains 8 enzymes: aliiase, alkaline phosphatase, amylase, bradykinase, carboxypeptidase, catalase, cellulose, lipase and peroxidase. Bradykinase helps to reduce excessive inflammation when applied topically, while others help in the breakdown of sugars and fats.
Minerals: It provides calcium, chromium, copper, selenium, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium and zinc. Magnesium and Zinc are especially supportive for skin health.
Sugars: Monosaccharaides (glucose and fructose) and Polysaccharides (glucomannanss/polymannose). These are derived from the mucilage layer of the plant and are known as mucopolysaccharides.
Anthraquinones: Aloin and emodin act as analgesics, antibacterial and antivirals.
Fatty acids: It provides 4 plant steroids; cholesterol, campesterol, B-sisosterol and lupeol. All these have anti-inflammatory action and lupeol alsom possesses antiseptic and analgesic properties.
Hormones: Auxins and gibberellins that help in wound healing and have anti-inflammatory action.
Others: It contains salicylic acid that possesses anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Lignin, an inert substance, when included in topical preparations, enhances penetrative effect of the other ingredients into the skin. Saponins have cleansing and antiseptic properties.
Mechanism of Actions
Healing properties: Glucomannan, a mannose-rich polysaccharide, and gibberellin, a growth hormone, increases collagen synthesis after topical and oral Aloe Vera. It increases synthesis of hyaluronic acid and dermatan sulfate in the granulation tissue of a healing wound following topical treatment.
Skin exposure to UV and Gamma Radiation: Aloe Vera gel has been reported to have a protective effect against radiation damage to the skin.
Anti-inflammatory action: Aloe Vera inhibits the cyclooxygenase pathway and reduces prostaglandin E2 production.
Antiviral and Antitumor Activity: Aloin inactivates various enveloped viruses such as herpes simplex, varicella zoster and influenza.
Moisturizing and Anti-aging effect: Mucopolysaccharides help in binding moisture into the skin. Aloe stimulates fibroblast which produces the collagen and elastin fibers making the skin more elastic and less wrinkled. Zinc acts as an astringent to tighten pores. It also has anti-acne effect.
Antiseptic effect: Aloe Vera contains 6 antiseptic agents. They all have inhibitory action on fungi, bacteria and viruses.
Aloe Vera extract is used in the following skin conditions:
Seborrheic dermatitis
Psoriasis vulgaris
Genital herpes
Skin burns
Wound healing
Pressure ulcers
Radiation dermatitis
Acne vulgaris
Bacterial and fungal skin infections
Chronic leg wounds
Side effects:
Some light redness and a short period of burning, stinging sensation.
Contraindicated in patients with demonstrated allergic reaction.

Yeah uhh
Ay this shit hard
[Hook: Theo Ferragamo]
Jet Black Abyss like diamonds life was given I was feel it in me kryptonite couldn't stop me I see y'all envy everyday there's a different enemy so its fuck the industry
Fuck the industry
Said it fuck the industry boy we in the streets
We in the streets
[Verse 1: Theo Ferragamo]
Jet black abyss like life
Waited years to see those lights
I'm shining bright yeah the mind is blinding
I'm passed the hype and its bout the time that I
Show em that they can't stop the madness
We live from the future like Fuck the past
And now we ride in the darkest Ashton's
Can't stop cause I got a passion
Show My wrist and the ice is flashing
Bitches love me cause I'm like a magnet

Yeah we had the answers had the stanzas
Gifted niggas by the words of Santa

And none of y'all niggas come close to me
Yeah soulfully or vocally its spoken heat
Don't give a fuck who you supposed to be
Cause most of y'all ain't cold as me
Below Zero yeah black ice like the flow is froze
See it's tax in this life better pay your tolls
Swear I went a long time without saying no

Don't got shit for a bitch or a bitch nigga
You don't got much time better live nigga
[Hook: Theo Ferragamo]

It's not likely I would fail or quit so if you're doubting me get off my dick real shit OGG

I first posted the following quotes in April of last year. As I read them again this morning I was compelled to publish them again. They represent the heart of good, godly men, and the heart of the foundation of the Restoration Movement. I can only imagine what angst these good men would know if they could see one group of church of Christ folks branding another group “lost” because of how they worship God. And just as dissapointing, the common teaching that only church of Christ folks are saved.
After carefully reading the following quotes, a few things come to mind. First, these men, like you and me, were not infallible. Each of them spoke for themselves, and none of them should be given the level of trust we give God’s word. However, these statements were made by good, proven men, who refelct lives given completely to God and to the good news about Jesus. The point of this post is not an attempt to make a case for a particular doctrine, or for or against a coC distinctive. My purpose is to remind by dear friends and brothers that when we appeal to the history and tradition of the Resotration Movement for some of what divides us we are sorely wrong.
The fathers speak:
WALTER SCOTT wrote: “Christians who have not been baptized for the remission of their sins! Strange! Whoever read of such Christians in God’s Word? But the times are peculiar, and as faith does purify the life of a man, and as the man of pure life and pure heart is accepted of God and may receive the Spirit, therefore we must allow, that there are now a days Christians in heart and life who have not been baptized for the remission of their sins. What evidences, then, have they for themselves and others, that they are possessed of the Spirit? None but the moral graces which have already been quoted, viz: love, joy etc.; they don’t need to depend upon an opinion; they feel within themselves and show to those without them by their fruits, that they have been made partakers of the Spirit of Christ.” (The Evangelist, No. 2, Vol. 2, Feb 4, 1833, p. 49.)

• Yisela, You are right! My only limit must be the 127Kb and adjust the rest for that. Is there a way to set in advance Photoshop to render the images with the 127Kb that I need? MANY MANY THANKS! – Ronaldo Aug 25 '13 at 21:24
• @Ronaldo I'm not aware of any, but maybe you could ask it as a new question as I'm sure there must be 'creative ways' of achieving that :). I would do it by re-sizing and saving for web, trying to keep the JPG quality at around 75-80%. – Yisela Aug 25 '13 at 21:34
Image > Image Size > then drop the resolution.
There's a read out at the top that tells you the pixel dimension. So basically can change it to an accepted size while choosing the best quality.
• Crejus, Many Thanks.I have tried already what you said but without success. – Ronaldo Aug 25 '13 at 19:11
• Dropping the resolution (AKA the pixel dimensions) will work, of course, but will drastically reduce the quality as now the pixels all have to be 'stretched'. – DA01 Aug 25 '13 at 21:15
I don't know how you will use that image but reducing colors can be a solution.
Does the file have to be saved in a specific format? Maybe you experiment saving in different formats seeing how some are lossy and may reduce the file size. Try JPG instead of PNG.

Are you losing money because of poor tax planning?
(You can’t spend what you don’t keep)
Most financial advisors understand a good retirement plan will require adjustments. They realize your investment allocations, risk tolerance, healthcare needs, and other financial strategies need to be monitored and tweaked regularly, but do they know that tax strategies require the same attention to detail? Do they even suggest tax saving strategies when you discuss your retirement plans with them?
“The average advisor thinks only about returns, they just don’t think at all about tax strategy,” said Ed Slott, one of this country’s leading experts on IRAs, retirement planning, and tax strategy. Slott has written several books about financial planning and has appeared on national TV specials on the subject. He also has his own business, Ed Slott and Company, which offers IRA and retirement planning advice, as well as training for financial advisors. We have great respect for Ed at Hilltop Wealth Solutions.
“Ninety nine percent of people lose money because they don’t think about tax strategy and 99 percent of advisors are not trained on this issue,” he said.
Erik Brenner, owner of Hilltop Wealth Solutions in Mishawaka, IN, says most advisors don’t even ask to see their clients’ tax returns. He has invested in tax strategy training for himself and advisors on his team. Brenner says Hilltop Wealth Solutions spent more than $50 thousand on various training and educational programs this past year. Almost all of Hilltop’s financial advisors have earned the status of Elite Advisors through Ed Slott and Company’s training program. It’s a status that only about 400 of the approximate 300 thousand plus financial advisors across the United States can claim.
“It’s very important ongoing education for us,” said Brenner. “You can’t give good advice without the training. We are always proactive with our clients when it comes to taxes. Too many people say ‘my taxes are my taxes’ and they don’t think about how they could save money by making some adjustments. We always make those suggestions to our clients”
Slott believes strongly that the lack of tax planning and strategy is a serious problem for people when they put together their retirement plans. He also believes it is a more serious situation right now because taxes are inevitably going to go up and people need to consider ways to take advantage of the current low rates before they go away.
The United States has enjoyed historically low tax rates in recent years but despite a thriving economy before the COVID-19 Pandemic the national debt has increased significantly. The recent CARES Act passed by Congress to help Americans through the pandemic added $3.2 trillion to the national debt. According to the Congressional Budget Office the federal budget deficit for the first nine months of the 2020 fiscal year was $2.7 trillion. The CBO says the federal budget deficit in June of 2020 alone was $863 billion. The national debt, according to the CBO, is now more than $26 trillion. Almost all economists and financial professionals believe taxes will have to increase soon, no matter who wins the upcoming election in November.
“Now is the time to act,” said Slott. “People need to eliminate tax risk in everything they do. Taxes are the single biggest expense in retirement.”
Some advisors would argue that healthcare is the biggest expense for retirees, but they all agree taxes are a huge retirement expense. Slott, Brenner, and other financial advisors believe now is the time to act because you can adjust your retirement plan to take advantage of the current low tax rates before taxes increase.
“People should consider converting their regular 401ks to Roth IRAs,” said Slott. “You pay a little tax upfront at the current low rates and then you save significantly when you need the money and don’t have to pay any taxes on it.”
Basically, when you convert a traditional IRA to a Roth, you will have to pay taxes on the amount of money in the traditional IRA that would have been taxed upon withdrawal. That amount includes any tax-deductible contributions you may have made to the account. It also includes tax-deferred earnings that grew in the account over the years. All of that money would be taxed as income for the year in which you make the conversion. So, you would pay that one-time tax bill at the current low rate, but then when you make withdrawals during retirement you don’t pay any taxes. Also, with a Roth, you don’t have to take minimum required distributions. That can be very important, especially if you want to leave the money to a family member or someone else.
Private wealth advisor Bill Davis of Hilltop Wealth Solutions also believes people should make moves soon to save on taxes.
“Would you rather pay a tax rate that is low and you know exactly how much it is or wait and pay a rate that is going to go up and you’re not sure how much?,” said Davis.
Davis says every situation is different and there are a lot of factors to consider when putting together a plan, but people often overlook the potential for tax savings, including Roth allocations.
Tax planning is multi-faceted and there are many options for people to consider. Brenner says good advisors understand those options and have the knowledge to offer good advice. He says many advisors just don’t invest the time and money it takes to get the training necessary to be able to provide good advice about tax strategy. Brenner says there is just so much advisors need to know, including an understanding of the difference between marginal and effective tax rates.
An effective tax rate is really a more accurate figure than a marginal tax rate. A marginal rate is typically based on the highest tax bracket someone’s income falls. In the United State there is a progressive tax system in which tax rates increase as income increases and reaches certain levels. However, even though a person’s income reaches a certain level and tax rate that doesn’t mean all of their income is taxed at that rate. Most of their income is usually taxed at a lower rate. The effective tax rate is an average of the taxes someone pays on all income sources. It provides people with a better understanding of the taxes they are actually paying and therefore a better understanding of ways they might be able to save.
“Retirement planning is like a football game,” said Slott. “There are two halves and the score at the end of the game is what counts. The first half is the accumulation of wealth and most advisors are good at that. The second half is about protecting money and preserving it. The I-R-S often wins because they’re playing the second half against nobody.”
Slott repeated many times how important he thinks this issue is when it comes to retirement planning. He urged people to make sure their advisors understand tax strategy. He said it’s especially important for people in the so called “sweet spot” between the ages of 59 and a half and 72. Those folks have all the options on the table, but they need to know their options.

0.024517 | <urn:uuid:d2043346-1350-4923-a6cb-3eeb665c3abc> | en | 0.95471 | Zeta co-founder Aditi Shekar has spent the past three years tracking the ways couples share and manage their finances, from each card swipe to every split bill. Her effort led to tens of thousands of couples signing up for a free budgeting app experiment. Today, those learnings have been formed into a venture-backed startup.
Zeta is a new fintech platform that helps couples join their finances. Zeta isn’t creating the concept of joint accounts; it’s simply trying to rebuild them for the modern family. Currently, joint accounts lack transparency or the option to add multiple users that come from different relationships in your life. Many standard joint accounts just give every user entire access to other users’ finances, versus tiered ways to spend.
Shekar, who started the company after experiencing the stress of dividing and dealing with money in her own relationship, says the goal of Zeta is to take the “cognitive load” of dealing with money off of people in a relationship.
Off that vision, Shekar and her co-founder Kevin Hopkins have raised $1.5 million in a round co-led by Deciens Capital and Precursor with participation from executives from Chime, Square, PayPal, Venmo, Google, Facebook and Weight Watchers. Shekar says that 57% of its cap table is women or people of color.

A tool like Zeta is trying to give already existent transactions — begging for a rent check, splitting the grocery bill, going halfsies on dinner, giving allowance — an easier way to be completed.
In reality, the startup works as a First Republic or Chase replacement, providing a digital layer of banking services that can integrate with pre-existing bank accounts. Couples who download Zeta will each get a Zeta joint card and a joint account to layer atop their finances. The joint card will serve as the way that couples can spend from the same account.
So far, users use their Zeta account in two main ways: have it take over standing bills such as rent or mortgage, or have it serve as a savings account for mutual goals, such as a post-COVID trip or big shared purchase like a car or home. Users can direct-deposit as much money as they want from their main bank accounts into Zeta, and then use the Zeta debit card to swipe couple money instead of individual money.
“There are a lot of fintechs that will go after the direct deposit,” Shekar said. “But we really thought about Zeta as the layer on top of existing accounts so you don’t have to move everything over.”
Similar to Chime, Zeta makes money from interchange fees, the cost it takes for a merchant to process your payment, on card transactions. A portion of the interchange fee is paid to Zeta, and a portion goes to your bank.
“If you and your partner wanted to share rent and pay bills together we’d be the natural place to plug into,” she said.
“Frankly, institutions have treated people as single-player games,” Shekar said. “Fintech is way more social than we realize.”
Braid founder Amanda Payton breaks down the concept of multi-player, social finance into two phases: if 1.0 was Venmo, then 2.0 will “enable sharing money at the account and transaction level,” she says.
“I think about it this way: The current set of mainstream financial products supports my money and your money. Social finance 2.0 will be all about our money,” Peyton said.
“Banks have historically prioritized growing their own customer base. They haven’t invested a lot in products that promote sharing money, regardless of where your primary checking account lives…Zelle is a noticeable exception here,” she said. “And it’s not hard to see why, there’s little tangible benefit for them to do so.”
Zeta differentiates from Braid in that it is solely focused on couples and families, which lets it do things like pay bills and save money to plan for the financial future. Shekar says that it plans to support families in broader ways over time, such as being part of taxes or prenuptial agreements. That said, Zeta currently only supports two people per account, while Braid already has the capability to add multiple parties to its joint account.
The biggest hurdle for Zeta is if people trust each other enough to get into operational accounts with each other to do it. Individualism isn’t just a lazy reaction to lack of tooling out there; for many people, keeping your money to yourself is a preference. Of course, the flip-side of shared finances is dealing with the repercussions of ending that relationship if life gets in the way.

“Break-up was the first feature we ever built,” Shekar said. Right now, there are no clear ways that Zeta can define what happens to the money in the shared account if people break up (no, there’s no clause that requires you to split money down the middle).
The startup is thinking about adding a feature during on-boarding that asks users what they prefer happens “in the event of a closure.”
“The psychology you need to have to open an account together is that you really trust your partner,” she said. “If you don’t trust your partner you might not be ready for this.”

1. This project is somewhat related to getmemex.com
Zegnat et al.: FYI WorldBrain's Memex (= getmemex.com) has some shared history with my WebMemex project; we collaborated for some months, then went in somewhat different directions; I focussed on web page snapshotting for a while, and got distracted with other things; WorldBrain's version added more and more features and got a lot closer to what I had in mind for WebMemex. — via treora # 21:34 on 2021-02-12
2. A browser extension for archiving web pages locally.
1. The idea of a purely linear text is a myth; readers stitch together meanings in much more complex ways than we have traditionally imagined; the true text is more of a network than a single, fixed document.
The internet isn't a new invention, it's just a more fixed version of the melange of text, ideas, and thought networks that have existed over human existence.
First there was just the memory and indigenous peoples all over the world creating vast memory palaces to interconnect their thoughts. (cross reference the idea of ancients thinking much the way we do now from the fist episode or so of Literature and History)
Then we invite writing and texts which help us in terms of greater storage without the work or relying solely on memory. This reaches it's pinnacle in the commonplace book and the ideas of Llull's combinatorial thought.
Finally we've built the Internet which interconnects so much more.
But now we need to go back and revisit the commonplace book and memory techniques to tie them altogether. Perhaps Lynne Kelly's concept of The Third Archive is what we should perfect next until another new instantiation comes to augment the system.
1. Missing Archive, missing narrative? Where is the archive of Palestine, and who owns it? How did the missing archive create a void in the Palestinian narrative and what did the Palestinians do to compensate this? In her films, Mahasen Nasser Eldin does not only search for the archive but connects it to the present in an attempt to contribute to restoring the Palestinian memory and narrative. “Civilizations that write history are often remembered by the cultural heritage they leave for future generations. Therefore, the preservation of audio-visual heritage should be considered a national duty. Whoever controls archives and cultural collections decisively influences the writing of history – a principle that has been in evidence since antiquity.” Dr. Bashar Shammout, scholar on Palestinian archives
1. It’s 1936, C.L.R. James is in Paris: “I look up in the archives. I look up, I look up, I look up in the archives, I spend three or four months looking up in the archives.” James’ friend Harry Spencer had given him seventy-five pounds to go to France and work in the Archives Nationales. “Every morning, walk up the Seine, the bank of Seine, go to the archives... At twelve o’clock they shut down, everywhere is closed up till tow. Archives close up, ‘St. James” closes up, off to eat. Very fine. At two o’clock, I go back. I work. The archives close at five or six. I go home.” James was in the archives because he was writing the history of the Haitian Revolution. Published in London in 1938, the bibliography of The Black Jacobins: Toussaint L’Ouverture and the San Domingo Revolution lists some eight archives consulted between France, Haiti, and Great Britain among many other printed primary and secondary sources. But even for the best historians and the most finely crafted (and critical) histories, the archive of the oppressed can be hard to find.

1. every page on my blog contains a link to its archive in the page footer. This ensures that you can not only browse the latest version of all of my blog articles in case of a server breakdown. This also enables you to browse all previous version, probably changed over time. Go ahead, try a few "Archive" links of my articles. If any of my articles start with an "Updates:" section, you know for sure that there are older versions accessible via the Internet Archive.
This is an interesting pattern. How could one make this more obvious from a uI perspective?

1. The Chelicerae popped up on the occasional paranormal site or edgy message board, each time accompanied by a now-defunct link. According to those who followed such things, all you had to do was start a new thread as a Guest, something Greg had been instructed to make sure was possible, and the title of that thread should be the name of someone you want dead. As the stories went, you would receive a reply almost immediately, and it would simply ask you for a story. You would have to write out, and post, in full, a horrible event that had happened to you, or someone that you loved. All the instructions were very clear that the target would only die, if the account satisfied the “Story-spinner.” None of them made any mention of what would happen if it did not.

Chris, I was wondering what plugin you use to store copies of the links to Archive.org?
1. One of the questions that came up during the SPLOT workshop is if there’s a SPLOT for podcasting, which reminded me of this post Adam Croom wrote a while back about his podcasting workflow: “My Podcasting Workflow with Amazon S3.” . We’re always on the look-out for new SPLOTs to bring to the Reclaim masses, and it would be cool to have an example that moves beyond WordPress just to make the point a SPLOT is not limited to WordPress (as much as we love it) —so maybe Adam and I can get the band back together
I just outlined a tiny and relatively minimal/free way to host and create a podcast feed last night: https://boffosocko.com/2019/12/17/55761877/
I wonder if this could be used to create a SPLOT that isn't WordPress based potentially using APIs from the Internet Archive and Huffduffer? WordPress-based infrastructure could be used to create it certainly and aggregation could be done around tags. It looks like the Huffduffer username SPLOT is available.

1. The HTTP-based Memento framework bridges the present and past Web. It facilitates obtaining representations of prior states of a given resource by introducing datetime negotiation and TimeMaps. Datetime negotiation is a variation on content negotiation that leverages the given resource's URI and a user agent's preferred datetime. TimeMaps are lists that enumerate URIs of resources that encapsulate prior states of the given resource. The framework also facilitates recognizing a resource that encapsulates a frozen prior state of another resource.

1. The WARC (Web ARChive) file format offers a convention for concatenating multiple resource records (data objects), each consisting of a set of simple text headers and an arbitrary data block into one long file. The WARC format is an extension of the ARC file format (ARC) that has traditionally been used to store “web crawls” as sequences of content blocks harvested from the World Wide Web. Each capture in an ARC file is preceded by a one-line header that very briefly describes the harvested content and its length. This is directly followed by the retrieval protocol response messages and content.

The recordings in the archive are drawn from the TG4 programmes ‘Abair Amhrán’, ‘Amhrán is Ansa Liom’, and ‘Sean-Nós’, as well as their broadcasting of the singing competitions of the annual An tOireachtas festival. Virtually all singers of unaccompanied song in Irish, practicing at any point over the past 110 years, are included in the archive’s recordings. Representation of different regions of origin, age groups, and themes of song is highly diverse.

1. Filtering obligations -Undermining the foundations of Open Access7.The provisions of Article 13 threaten the accessibility of scientific articles, publications and research data made available through over 1250 repositoriesmanaged byEuropean non-profit institutions and academiccommunities. These repositories, which are essential for Open Access and Science in Europe, are likely to face significant additional operational costs associated with implementing new filtering technologyandthe legal costs of managing the risks of intermediary liability. The additional administrative burdens of policing this contentwould add to these costs. Such repositories, run on a not-for-profit basis, are not equipped to take onsuch responsibilities, and may face closure. This would be a significant blow, creating new risks forimplementing funder, research council and other EU Open Access policies.

Eat well, exercise, get enough omega-3s – chances are, you’ve heard tips on making heart-healthy choices before. But do you know how these decisions really affect heart function?
As a research pharmacologist and Nobel* Laureate in medicine for my research into nitric oxide, I’ve spent the last decades focusing on educating others about the impact of nutrition and lifestyle on the heart, and you know what I’ve found? Many people don’t understand how their decisions affect heart health and overall bodily wellness.
For decisions to have staying power, it’s important to understand the impact they’re having. When you lose weight, you can see the difference. But the results of a healthier heart are more difficult to measure.
Let’s take a look at five healthy choices and how they impact your heart.
1. Exercise to Improve Your Blood Flow.
I grew up in Long Beach, NY, and was always active. I enjoyed swimming in the ocean and one-on-one stickball, but I always had an interest in understanding how things worked. In medical school, the physiology of the cardiovascular system fascinated me more than anything else.
Ultimately, this path led me to the discovery of the presence, production, and cardiovascular protective actions of nitric oxide in the body. My research was the first to show that nitric oxide (NO) regulates blood pressure, blood flow, and blood coagulation.
We all know activities like running, cycling, and swimming are good for you, but why are they heart-healthy choices? Exercise helps blood vessels relax and widen, or dilate, allowing blood to flow efficiently and stimulating nitric oxide production in the body, thus nourishing the heart.
Since nitric oxide controls, regulates and protects the cardiovascular system, the result is clear: more exercise equals more NO, which results in a healthier heart.
2. Eat a Balanced Diet Rich with Omega-3s.
A healthy diet goes a long way in promoting heart health. Fresh fruits, vegetables, proteins, and whole grains give your body the energy and nutrients it needs to maintain overall health.
Foods like fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, and tuna), flaxseeds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and soybeans are jam-packed with omega-3 fatty acids. The consumption of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) omega-3 fatty acids may also reduce the risk of heart disease.
Not only is fish a great substitute for foods like beef, which is high in saturated fats, but the omega-3s help to support a healthy cardiovascular system by maintaining cholesterol and triglyceride levels already within the normal range.
3. Learn to Manage Your Stress Better.
If you think activities like yoga, meditation, and deep breathing aren’t for you, think again. Doing stress-relieving activities can do more for your body than you might think.
Stress impacts blood pressure and cholesterol levels, which is why we should find healthy ways to lower our stress. In fact, studies have found a link between chronic stress and heart disease.
While there are a lot of theories on how lowering stress can help keep the heart healthy, many researchers believe that increased stress levels can worsen other states in the body. For example, if you have high blood pressure or cholesterol, stress can cause these levels to rise even further. Stress may also impact the way blood clots, which may increase the risk of a heart attack.
People with lower stress levels may be more likely to exercise and eat well, both of which are important for a healthy heart. So, lowering stress not only helps you feel better, but it also keeps your body balanced and supports healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
4. Achieve and Maintain a Healthy Weight.
Did you know that even moderate weight loss can have a huge impact on the health of your heart? A healthy weight lowers the risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, and diabetes—not to mention, it positively impacts overall physical health. But how does it do this?
While there are lots of benefits of having a healthy weight, it especially impacts blood circulation. One study found that when body weight—especially belly fat—is within healthy range, arteries are better able to expand, which results in better blood flow.
Since optimal blood flow is one of the keys to a healthy cardiovascular system, weight loss (or maintenance, if you’re at a healthy weight), can be one of the most important steps toward supporting a healthy heart.
5. Support the Endothelium, Which Produces Nitric Oxide.
As I found in my research, nitric oxide is one of the most important molecules in the cardiovascular system. Increased nitric oxide results in increased blood flow to the organs, which supports healthy blood pressure and a healthy cardiovascular system. But for all this to happen, the “production house” of NO – the endothelium – needs to be supported.
Our bodies contain 6 trillion endothelial cells, which line 60,000 miles of blood vessels in a single layer. Together, those cells make up an organ known as the endothelium. The endothelium is the only cellular network in the entire cardiovascular system that is capable of producing nitric oxide, and so it is essential to maintain a healthy endothelium.
Endothelial wellness signifies keeping your vascular endothelial cells healthy and active at all times. Nitric oxide is absolutely required to maintain normal blood pressure, blood flow, and blood coagulation on a second-by-second basis.
Exercising, eating a healthy diet, lowering stress, and losing weight – all contribute to endothelial health.
Supplementing with targeted nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, CoQ10, krill, garlic, and green tea also helps keep your endothelium healthy by providing the nutrients it needs to function at its best. And a healthy endothelium results in healthy NO levels, which impacts blood flow and blood pressure – not to mention the functioning of the entire body.
The Long-Term Benefits of a Healthy Heart
If there’s one thing to take from this article, it would be this: take good care of your heart – you have only one and it will determine how long you live.
I look after my heart by adopting a lifestyle that best suits its function and longevity. These include a healthy diet and a structured aerobic exercise program with specific nutrients that promote heart health.
Over the years, I have learned to take care of myself first, and my work second. I practice healthy living while at home and during work. Each morning is started by a healthy and nutritious breakfast plus engaging in exercise whether it be running, fast walking, or cycling.
My role model is my father. He was very active and a hard-working carpenter, who worked 6 long days a week. He always followed a strict healthy diet, and exercise was built into his profession.

That wouldn't break the ABI, no more than when if you boot a kernel
All non-cooperative features can be removed any time in a backwards
compatible way, the only precaution is to mark their feature bits as
reserved so they can't be reused for something else later.

With UFFD_EVENT_FORK, the newly created uffd that controls the child,
is not passed to the parent nor to the child. Instead it's passed to
the CRIU monitor only, which has to be already running as root and is
fully trusted and acts a hypervisor (despite there is no hypervisor).
By the time execve runs and any suid bit in the execve'd inode becomes
relevant, well before the new userland executable code can run, the
kernel throws away the "old_mm" controlled by any uffd and all
attached uffds are released as well.
All I found is your "A .read implementation MUST NOT ACT ON THE
CALLING TASK" as an explanation that something is broken but I need
further clarification.
Of course I can see you can always open a uffd and pass it to any task
you are going to execve on, but that simply means the suid program
will be able to control you, not the other way around. If you don't
want to be controlled by the next task, no matter if suid or not, just
don't that. What I don't see is how you're going to control the suid
binary from the outside, the suid binary at most will block in the
poll, read and write syscalls and get garbage or write some garbage
and get an error, it won't get signals and it cannot block in any page
fault either, it's not immediately clear what's out of ordinary.

The CRIU developers did a truly amazing job by making container post
copy live migration work great for a subset of apps, that alone was an
amazing achievement. Is that achievement enough to use post copy live
migration of bare metal containers in production? Unfortunately
probably not and not just in debian.
If you're wrong and UFFDIO_EVENT_FORK isn't currently buggy and in
turn it isn't causing further maintenance burden, there is no hurry of
removing them, but in the long term, if none of the non-cooperative
features find its way in production (like it was reasonable to expect
initially), they must be removed from the kernel anyway, not just
UFFD_EVEN_FORK but all non-cooperative features associated with it.
In my view the kernel is complex enough that we can't keep in the
kernel anything that isn't actively used in production.
If you're right and UFFDIO_EVENT_FORK is flawed beyond repair well
then we should remove all non cooperative features right now.
Or is someone out there using CRIU --lazy-pages in production?
Virtual machine machine postcopy live migration is shipped in
production for years and it's fully reliable and by design it cannot
suffer from any of the above limitations.
In my view there's simply no justification not to use virtual machines
when the alternative requires so much more code to be written and so
much more complexity to be dealt with.
However the higher complexity happened in lots areas of the kernel
already where things got extremely complex just to avoid using virtual
machines, despite the end result is less secure, for the only sake of
slightly higher consolidation (especially if you ignore the existence
millisecond guest boot time, direct mapped pmem nvdimm, virtfs and
free page hinting).
The non-cooperative features of userfaultfd in principle aren't
fundamentally different from other cgroup vs KVM tradeoffs, so 1) it
wasn't apparent they wouldn't be used in production eventually and 2)
it didn't sound fair enough not to give a chance to bare metal
containers to achieve feature parity with VM (again with a much higher
code complexity, but that was to be expected and it has apparently
been dealt with in other areas with more or less satisfactory
While at it, as far as userfaultfd is concerned I'd rather see people
spend time to write a malloc library that uses userfaultfd with the
UFFD_FEATURE_SIGBUS features and it replaces mmap with UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE
(plus adding the THP accelleration currently missing) and munmap with
MADV_DONTNEED to do allocations and freeing of memory with full
scalability without ever hitting on the map sem for writing. This is
already possible without any further kernel change (the THP
accelleration to UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE will only make it go faster but it
could be done later after the lib already works because it'd be
invisible to userland).
On my side, instead of trying to fix whatever issue in
UFFD_EVENT_FORK, I'd prefer to spend my time reviewing the uffd-wp
feature from Peter and the page fault enhancement patchset that Peter
and Linus were discussing. uffd-wp has the potential to drop fork()
from all apps calling fork() only to do an atomic snapshot of their
memory. Replacing fork() also means the uffd manager thread can decide
how much memory to reserve to the snapshot and it can start throttling
waiting for I/O completion if the threshold is exceeded, while fork
COWs cannot throttle and all apps using fork() risk to hit on x2
memory usage which can become oom-killer material if the memory size
of the process is huge. The side benefit is also that the way
userfaultfd works the fault granularity is entirely in control of
userland (because it's always userland that resolves the fault), it
could decide to use 8k or 16k even if that doesn't match the hardware
page size. That will allow to keep THP on without risking to hit on 2M
cows during the snapshot. Being able to keep THP enabled in nosql db
without hitting on slow 2M COW copies during snapshot, should allow a
further overall performance improvement when the snapshot is not
running than what it is possible today. In a completely different use
case, uffd-wp will also avoid JITs to set a dirty bit every time they
modify any data in memory. It should also be possible to provide the
same soft-dirty information in O(1) instead of O(N).

The most beautiful moment in this film occurs when Cameron is at the Art Institute of Chicago. He's standing in front of Georges Seurat's Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. The painting consists of small points of color, a style called pointillism. In this painting, done in 1884, men, women and children are standing and lying down along a lakeside, women with their umbrellas, wearing corsets and covering their bodies from head to foot. Everything is proper, geometric, nothing out of place, like Cameron's life. In the middle of the scene stands a young infant, three or four years old with a pale washed-out face, looking straight at the viewer.
The scene in the movie cuts back and forth between Cameron's sorrowful face and the face of the child. Cameron recognizes aspects of his nature in that child's face. The unformed blank face suggests a tabula rasa life, a life unformed, a life unlived, like Cameron's, all potential but no action.
The music is especially haunting. It's by Tangerine Dream, and it's entitled Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want. Thanks go to mattress and another noder (/msg me if you were the one!) for pointing out that this was originally written by Morrissey of the Smiths, and can be found on their Louder than Bombs album. | https://m.everything2.com/user/IWhoSawTheFace/writeups/Cameron+Frye | dclm-gs1-269200011 | false | false | {

Family is who you find. This hen finds a whole assortment of the family in these eggs that she was volunteered to look after. Her firstborn happens to be a duck.
The two words “hens” and “chicks” go hand in hand. If you met a hen without any chicks, it would catch you off guard for a few seconds. Like the video says, every hen is born to be a mother.
So here we have a gorgeous Silkie hen that lays eggs, but none of them hatch. The poor lass is without a rooster, and her human owner could tell that being a mom would mean something to her.
He takes some eggs given to him by a friend that could still be viable and has his Silkie hen sit on them. What’s in them is anyone’s guess. They could literally be anything.
The first hatch is a duck, who the hen raises like her own son. The older he gets, the less he looks like his mother, but she doesn’t care. The other hatches are unknown but loved just the same.
Big Brother Duck watches over his mismatched siblings alongside his adoptive mother. It’s safe to say that mama hen is happy. At least none of them were hawk, owl, or snake eggs.

by Mike Sententia on April 2, 2016
A reader asked me about telekinesis. I haven’t seen any demonstrations that didn’t involve jostling the table that the object is on, but that’s not what today’s post is about.
He said he used to be able to move water, but that he “retired of it because it was not useful in real life (no matter how cool it was).” That’s what I want to talk about: What does it mean to be useful?
There are two types of useful: Directly useful, and scientifically useful. And by focusing only on directly useful techniques, we will wind up holding ourselves back.
A few examples: Transmuting lead into gold is obviously useful. Same with reading minds, flying, etc. They’re abilities we’d all love to have. (For this post, I’m ignoring what’s possible and what’s not, and just plucking examples from fantasy.)
But let me ask you this: Is it useful to know that the same force that holds me to the earth, also governs the motions of the planets? Is it useful to know that DNA is in the nucleus of a cell? Or that passing a magnet over a wire will cause the electrons to move?
None of that is useful in isolation. Transport a person 1,000 years into the past, and they can’t do anything with that knowledge. Without gears to make clocks, knowing the precise location of planets and stars doesn’t help you navigate. Without the rest of biology, knowing about DNA doesn’t solve any problem. Without steam engines to power an electric generator, it doesn’t matter if you know how to create an electrical current.
And yet, the last hundred years have been shaped by those three pieces of information. Space travel, modern medicine, and electricity. That useless information is the foundation of the modern world.
Which brings us to telekinesis. A force, generated from thin air, without an obvious opposing force. This is impossible in current physics. If it existed (and that’s a big if, but if it did), it would be a massive addition to physics.
What would that finding ultimately let us do? No one knows. Just like no one knew that learning about gravity would lead to space travel, or that learning about quantum physics would lead to transistors and computers. That’s the point: We often have no idea where new science leads. But we follow it anyway, despite being initially useless, and it’s given us the modern world.
What would I do with a clear demonstration of energy healing or magick? The Randi challenge pays $1,000,000 for it. San Francisco venture capitalists would likely give even more — not to create a water-moving device, but to put together a team, figure out what’s going on, and then create the next spaceship, internet, or whatever this science leads to.
This post isn’t about telekinesis. It’s about all the phenomena we explore. Because the real question isn’t, “Can I use this?” The real question is, “What could I do with this, plus a team of scientists and the backing of venture capitalists?”

I think you are right there. I simply wasn’t paying attention to the possibilities. I will try to practice again pk to “put myself on form” so I can do it again (if i found time that is). Maybe I could combine it with direct magick (I think they are related, healing is almost synonims with biokinesis). Imagine an ethereal software that can do pk for you on command. I could even win that Randi challenge… There’s too much I could do with that money…
Julie April 5, 2016 at 5:33 PM
I’m glad it’s never been proven. Magick in the wrong hands would be used inappropriately. That’s why angels and spirit guides are trusted with the awesome power, while we’re only allowed to dabble because we’re human and we can still choose evil. I looked up the Randi challenge, although quite fascinating, it’s been recently terminated! Sorry about that.
I don’t read many blogs, have trouble keeping up with my own, and yet your blog always gets me thinking, which is kind of annoying because I do enough of that already.
People do have the ability of alchemy, reading minds, and healing. Maybe not flying. Who knows? Nothing is impossible. Telekinesis included. Friendship is useful. Hope is useful. Science is useful. Magick is useful. Science has done a lot for us. I am grateful for science, even chemotherapy. Did I just say that !?!
Do you think knowing how magick works (the science behind it) would make you happy? Isn’t not knowing what makes life grand? That’s why people wrap up Christmas presents, it makes it more exciting. You don’t know what’s in the box until you open it. I think you know more about healing and magick than you let on.
It’s like when you kick a soccer ball, yes, there’s a science and technique behind it, but at the moment of the kick, thinking stops and it’s all magic. You can see the magic much clearer in a person who has natural ability than a person who does not. The skilled person is grateful and knows their talent is a divine gift.
I think magick is smarter than money. Trying to prove that magick is real, is a distraction from doing magick. We can’t prove paranormal things exist because it’s like their little joke on us. We know they’re real, but they can’t be in our dimension. It would make things complicated. There’s a reason things are the way they are. It’s how the world works. The divine cosmic plan. Randi knew he’d never give the money away.
When you already believe, you don’t need proof. That’s why we use the term metaphysical — of or relating to things that are thought to exist but cannot be seen. Trying to prove magick through science will be difficult because they have a different language. Why don’t we try to prove science? Why is that our standard and not magick? We live in a world based on facts and figures. We escape to the world of magick.
Hopefully, if nothing else, my comments make you chuckle :)
Magus732 April 7, 2016 at 12:20 PM
Knowing how magick works is necessary for the human race to advance to new things. Also knowing how things work is an human “instinct”. Yeah, we all know that thinking too much about how things works can make us forgot to practice. But in the other side the knowledge obtained can become technology, and that technology can change things globally. Imagine that you become the best “mage” in the world, but know nothing about how it works (something almost impossible, to practice magick you had to, at least, have a theory of the things you have to do for it to works). You couldn’t teach anything about it and when you die and all that power die with you, without benefiiting the human race as a whole in that time. Is not only to know it works, but also how.
simon April 7, 2016 at 4:51 AM
I’m not sure that’s exactly the ‘real’ question. Its the question that drives you as a scientist who is enthused by a vision of magick becoming accepted by the current gatekeepers of ‘consensus reality’ . Because this will allow magick to be rolled out in a more centralized fashion making use of all the economic and social structures at our disposal in modern society.
Whether or not leveraging magick to create more ‘cool stuff’ like spaceships will actually make anyone happier is another question. It seems its a question not asked enough.
I guess this comes down to whether one buys into the utopian optimism and faith in ‘progress’ that you have. I am extremely skeptical of it – of this social narrative of linear progress that you buy into, NOT the potential for individuals and communities to rise above their limitations or for empirical observation to be useful.
Yes – your healing sigils would be amazing. But you know the reason i’m enthusiastic about them? They might enable people to escape many of the horrors of the current healthcare system. The potential of using sigils to aid plant growth? I love it because it could free farmers from the clutches of multinational argi-business and help stop the global depletion of Phosphorus. If Monsanto tried to patent a particular sigil then the ethereal software could just be bound to a new one. There’s no way they could keep ownership of the ethereal software.
You seem to argue that we need these centralized socio-economic structures to develop magick or to roll out this pesticide free future. I’m not so sure. To give an example from a different field: Its estimated that permaculture, a strategic food growing approach, feeds more people around the world than all government funded food aid programs put together. And it does this without any centralized funding or venture capitalists. It is done by small groups going round and seeding permaculture projects which the locals then take over. Its THAT network of self organizing projects that i’d be pitching plant sigils to.
It seems to me that, more and more, this is the way the interesting work is actually getting done – and by interesting I mean stuff that has a chance of actually making people happier and increasing their autonomy.
Mike Sententia April 8, 2016 at 6:55 PM
It’s interesting, having readers who love science and technology, and others who feel uneasy about it.
It’s easy to forget how many of the things we love have come from science and technology: Heated running water that’s free of diseases. The eradication of polio and smallpox. The ability to talk with the people I love, even when I’m far away. Given the option, I’d much rather live today than 500 years ago.
In 2013, I worked in India, and saw how the poorest people live. People washed clothes in the ocean, which sounds romantic until you see mothers doing it in the hot sun. A child begged a bottle of water from me. I got sick and took the antibiotics I brought, and was very glad for the last 100 years of medicine that made that possible.
I think research on happiness is important, and it’s valuable to understand the aspects of the modern world that detract from happiness. But from there, move forward, figure out how to have more happiness while also having the clean running water and antibiotics and communications of the modern world, plus whatever amazing technologies come next.

He claimed that each $[G:G_a]$ is a divisor of $\mid G \mid$ and also each $[G:G_a] > 1$ in which I understand the divisor part since it is equal to the cardinality of the orbit of $a$ and orbits partion the set, but I just don't get why $[G:G_a] > 1$ since isn't $1$ is a divisor for every integers?
Since I am self-studying, any information would be helpful.

$\begingroup$ Singleton orbits are accounted for by $|Z|$, so $A$ is a set of representatives of non-singleton orbits. $\endgroup$ – rhesu Jan 17 at 18:13
• $\begingroup$ Yeah! It was pretty obvious and I missed it! $\endgroup$ – LamNg. Jan 17 at 18:15
If $[G:G_a] = 1$, then $G = G_a$ which would mean that $a$ is fixed by the group action and hence $a \in Z$ and hence $a \notin A$ since it would have a trivial orbit.
• $\begingroup$ Oh! I know that I am missing something trivial, thanks for that! $\endgroup$ – LamNg. Jan 17 at 18:14
This follows from the definition of the set $A$. If $a\in A$ then $a$ belongs to a nontrivial orbit. So there must be some element $g\in G$ such that $g.a\ne a$. Hence $G_a\ne G$.

Divination Part 2- Tools of the art
There are many different methods of divination that you may choose to use in your magical practice. Some people opt to try many different types, but you may find that you’re more gifted in one method than others. Take a look at some of the different types of divination methods, and see which works best for you and your abilities. And remember, just like with any other skill set, practice makes perfect!
tarot cards
Tarot Cards
It may seem that someone who reads Tarot cards is “predicting the future.” However, most Tarot card readers will tell you that the cards offer a guideline, and the reader is simply interpreting the probable outcome based upon the forces presently at work. Tarot, like any divinatory practice, is a highly intuitive process, so while books and charts come in handy, the best way to actually learn what your cards mean is to handle them, hold them, and feel what they are telling you.
Tarot cards come in decks and there are hundreds of different styles available. Some are based upon famous artwork, movies, books, legends, and mythology. There is no perfect deck out there, choose a deck that feels right for you. This is the deck I use, but I have felt an affinity with nocturnal energies since I was a five year old obsessed with vampires and ghosts.
A typical Tarot deck consists of 78 cards. The first 22 cards are the Major Arcana. These cards have symbolic meanings focused on the material world, the intuitive mind, and the realm of change. The remaining 56 cards are the Minor Arcana and are divided into four groups or suits: Swords, Pentacles (or Coins), Wands and Cups. Each of the four suits focuses on a theme. Sword cards generally indicate conflict or moral issues, while Cups reflect matters of emotion and relationships. Pentacles focus on the material aspects of life, such as security and finance, while Wands represent things like jobs, ambition, and activity.
Tarot Cards are used in any number of different spreads, or layouts, which can affect the reading. Some readers use elaborate layouts, while others may just pull out three to five cards and see what they need to see. In addition to standard tarot cards, there are spirit or oracle cards that are used similarly to tarot, but there are no suits, just a different meaning attached to each.
norse runes
Norse Runes
Long ago, according to the epic sagas of the Norse people, Odin created the Runes as a gift to mankind. These symbols, sacred and holy, were originally carved into stone. Over the centuries, they evolved into a collection of sixteen letters, each with a metaphorical and divinatory meaning. As the Norse people spread out around Europe, many of the runes changed in form and meaning, which led to new alphabet forms. For instance, the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc contains 33 runes.
Today, runes are used in magic and divination by many Pagans. Although their meanings can sometimes be a bit obscure, most people who work with runes find that the best way to incorporate them into divination is to ask a specific question based upon your current situation. Although you don't have to be of Norse ancestry to use the runes, you'll have a far better understanding of the symbols and their meanings if you have some knowledge of the mythology and history surrounding them; this way you can interpret the runes in the context in which they were meant to be read.
Much like reading the Tarot, runic divination is not "telling the future." Instead, rune casting should be seen as a tool for guidance, working with the subconscious, and focusing on the questions that might be underlying in your mind. Some people believe that the selections made within the runes drawn are not really random at all, but choices made by your subconscious mind. Others believe that they are answers provided by the divine to confirm what we already know in our hearts. Rune casting or drawing can be as simple as selecting runes from a box or satchel and reading their meaning in the order drawn.
The pendulum is the arguably easiest method of divination. Using a simple weight on a string or chain, it allows you to divine Yes/No and Either/Or style answers. Although you can purchase pendulums commercially, it's not hard to make one of your own. Typically, most people use a crystal or stone, but you can use any object that's got a bit of weight to it… a family ring on a thread can work better than the $50 quartz point on a silver chain from the New Age shop in town.
To make your own pendulum, take a crystal or stone and wrap it in a length of jeweler's wire. When you're done wrapping it, leave a loop at the top. Attach one end of the chain to the loop. You'll want to make sure the chain isn't too long, because you'll probably be using it over a table or other surface. Generally, a chain between 10 - 14" is perfect. Also, be sure you tuck in any poky pieces of wire so you don't jab yourself later.
Before using your new pendulum, whether you made it or not, it is a good idea to cleanse and charge it. Simply wash your pendulum in water and visualize it’s energy becoming clean and pure. Alternatively, you can use smudging, or passing objects through sage or other incense smoke, to cleanse your pendulum as well. To charge and calibrate your pendulum is similar to any other magickal tool. Leave the tool exposed to a natural energy source you have an affinity with (sunlight, moonlight, wind, in fresh earth) and visualize it absorbing the raw untainted energy. This process is usually done over a 24 hour period but you can decide what’s right for your purposes.
Next is calibration and it is far easier than you think. You simply use your pendulum (or cards, runes, wand…you get the idea). Hold your tools and meditate on them for a few minutes, visualize your energy flowing into it and back, sharing freely. Next, ask simple questions you know the answers to and allow the tool to access your inner energies in a deeper manner.
Practice will form a partnership with your tools that can make them lifelong friends and guides when used correctly. While there are many more divinatory tools out there, I hope this summary of the most common three help as you dip your toes into the cosmic pool of divination.

I, like a lot of you, love the idea of ritual baths. But, I am a busy person.

Socialism’s New American Opportunity
The US left today confronts a remarkable opportunity. George Bush and Sarah Palin effectively reopened the explicit debate over capitalism versus socialism. More than that, their interventions, combined with the current crisis of capitalism, disrupt the conventional, classic definitions of both isms. Thus, the debate over them is now transformed in advantageous ways for the US left.
Sarah Palin tried to attach the epithet “socialist” to Obama during the campaign. She linked it to his remark about a modest tax reform that might “spread the wealth” a bit. McCain likewise jumped on the remark in ways that echoed Palin’s effort. Clearly the Republicans’ campaign saw an opportunity to damage Obama’s candidacy. In a society that had, since 1989, successfully pushed the concepts of socialism and communism off the radar as historically “failed experiments,” suddenly the mass media widely repeated affirmations that socialism was back again. For those who denounce as socialism any government program benefitting the middle and poor at the expense of the rich, the socialist threat seemed alive and well in the Obama camp. For Obama’s supporters, they suddenly had to interrogate, even if only briefly and superficially, their own sense of and attitude toward the capitalism versus socialism debate.
Another reinsertion of the capitalism-versus-socialism debate into contemporary American society followed from the Bush administration’s response to the economic crisis. Bush made a November 13, 2008, speech that included these lines: “But the crisis was not a failure of the free market system. And the answer is not to try to reinvent that system.” That day’s Associated Press coverage (by Ben Feller) made sure to identify what “system” Bush meant; Feller’s story was entitled: “Bush defends capitalism on eve of economic summit.” The president most Americans had just repudiated at the polls was defending capitalism. Might anti-Bush voters, consciously or otherwise, consider also rejecting what he was defending?
Bush raised the capitalism versus socialism issue in yet another way. Over the last few months his administration has violated in its practice the neoliberal dogma about the absolute superiority of private enterprise and markets. While that dogma still gets Bush’s lip service, his “economic team” has forcibly converted private into state-run enterprises (including the largest US insurance company, AIG, the largest mortgage lenders, Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac, and the largest US banks, Citibank, Bank of America, and so on). Republican fiscal conservatives are running up humongous deficits borrowing trillions to finance state-planned “bailouts” that hand vast sums to selected firms. Government planning is replacing markets in determining an increasing number of transactions and thus the course of the national economy.
Displacing private in favor of state property and markets in favor of state planning are the sins usually charged to socialism by the conservative supporters of capitalism. How then are people to make sense of the Bush government’s embrace of just those sins? Does a capitalist crisis require a dose of socialism as its solution? And what might that suggest?
Across the country, many people’s thoughts and conversations, as widely reported in the media, have raised questions about capitalism and socialism in their relation to the Bush past and the Obama future. Yet this turn is happening because of events that throw the conventional definitions of socialism into considerable doubt and disarray. Leftists particularly are uncomfortable with describing Obama as a socialist, and not only because of the context and purpose of Palin’s charge. They are also uneasy about how to assess the Bush regime’s massive turn toward state ownership and planning at the expense of private ownership and free markets.
The return of “socialism” to the thinking and conversations of many Americans is an exceptional opportunity for the left. Beyond scoffing at Palin’s charge and Bush’s economics, leftists now have an exceptional opportunity to explain how “socialism” can and should mean something more than and different from progressive tax reforms, state ownership of enterprises, and state planning of economic affairs. However, the need to produce a definition of socialism as “something more” confronts some traditional definitions that do focus on progressive state economic policy interventions (such as tax reform) and/or state ownership and planning.
To make the most of this historical period’s opportunity would require the left to formulate a new concept of and vision for socialism. For example, if socialism were defined to include the following basic reorganization inside enterprises, no one would confuse it with anything done by Bush or advocated by Obama. Suppose socialism were defined in the following terms: (1) the workers in every enterprise must function collectively as their own board of directors and as the private owners of their enterprise; (2) democratically elected local, regional, and national political bodies would share with each enterprise’s workers the power to determine production methods and the disposition of outputs and revenues; and (3) democratically elected representatives of the workers in each enterprise would share with residentially elected political bodies the power to determine political issues. Defined in this way, socialism would entail a specific kind of interconnected democratization of the economy and the society. The residential community and the workforce, as stakeholders, would share the power of deciding basic social issues.
This is, of course, only one among many examples of rethinking socialism. The point is to extend and refocus the current, public considerations of whether and how the term could and should apply to the US. The left might thereby take advantage of an ironic reopening of these considerations by socialism’s enemies. Indeed, such a rethinking now in the US could also finally settle accounts with what actually happened in and to the “socialisms” of the USSR and China. And the point of it all would be to refashion socialism to contest effectively for hearts and minds now opened by capitalism’s worst crisis in decades.

Songbob Guitars..what do you play? (227* d) RE: Guitars..what do you play? 17 Nov 98
Bill D. told me a week ago about this thread, so now I've seen it. Some thoughts, commments, and answers to various questions:
Bill D's wife's guitar is a Gurian J-R (jumbo rosewood) and is a killer finger-picking guitar. Very nice indeed.
Some one wrote: >By the way, here is a question for the experts. A steel string guitar seems to always have the place where the strings go over the bridge (be it the bridge itself or the saddle) angled while a classical guitar doesn't. This is of course to compensate for intonation; but is it for the strings or the body design. That is, if you do put nylon strings on a steel-string guitar, should you remove the angle of the saddle?<
The intonation correction is needed because of the stiffness of the first unwound string (the B string), and the difference between the strings in "trueness." This is not nearly so evident in nylon strings, so a classical guitar typically has no angle to the saddle at all. HOWEVER, this does not mean that you should re-string your steel-string guitar with nylon strings, because the scale length is different, and you risk popping strings like crazy putting nylons on a long-scale steel string guitar.
Now, about my guitars. I play whatever I feel fits the song, or, alternately, whatever is easiest to get out when it's time to play. I have, in no particular order, these guitars:
1963 Martin D-28 with replacement top. There is a story about this instrument, a story I've put into a song. I think I may have even included said song on my web-page at -- I'm not 100% sure this song (called "Reunion") is there, but if it isn't, I'll send it to Digitrad (if I haven't already done that!). My main guitar, the one I prefer to sing with and play in Sidekicks, my band.
1942 Martin 0-18. A gift from my late mother-in-law's at-the-time boyfirend. Lovely little thing, but the action is too high, and I'm gonna hafta fix that one of these days.
1942 Orpheum 17" archtop, made by Kay. Thick, no-steel bar (wartime, you know) neck. Fun to play; good for jazzy stuff or Carter Family songs.
1930s May Belle. Flat-top steel string guitar with classical-style (flat) fingerboard. Nice for bluesy fingerpicking, but good enough all-round guitar.
1950s Valco-made National resophonic guitar. Single cutaway solid-body style guitar with short (22") scale and biscuit-style resonator in it. Has an after-market lipstick pickup someone added, making it a bastardized "Reso-lectric." Fun to play, but not as loud acoustically as I'd like.
1998 Strato-clone. Odd guitar; BC Rich neck on a Dean strat body. Two single-coils and a humbucker, with fancy tremelo bridge (I've blocked it off). Adequate beginner electric, but nothing to shout about. I'd probably trade it for a Squier strat, just to have something that's all factory-made instead of cobbled together, but that would depend on the pickups. They'd have to be an improvement, or why trade?
Unknown date classicals (two). One is Brazilian, and needs a higher bridge (not just saddle, but bridge -- the fingerboard is too thick and I can't get the action high enough), and the other is a Spanish almost-flamenco guitar that I like a lot.
1990s Golden-tone guitar-banjo. Strictly speaking, not a guitar, but it plays like one. Fender-style neck makes chords easy, but the balance is truly awful -- it rotates to "five o'clock" at the slightest excuse, and I haven't been able to get it to stay in playing position without basically holding it there at all times. Might hafta put a hook-eye in the neck itself, which I hate to think of.
I think that covers the guitars. Let me know when the banjo thread starts. I have five five-stringers, a banjo-mandolin, a tenor, and one or two banjo-ukes.
Great bragging thread, ain't it?

Just another magical day in the Valley of the Sun, where clearly Jeff Hornacek was the problem….
During an early timeout in the Suns’ game at Golden State, Markieff Morris tried to explain something to Archie Goodwin, who is seated. This conversation gets heated quickly, and teammates eventually have to step in and separate the two teammates.
The Suns have shopped Morris around as the trade deadline approaches, this isn’t going to help his value.
After the game, Morris said the two are close (which is true) and this was just like two brothers having a fight — they will get over it quick. | https://nba.nbcsports.com/2016/02/10/suns-markieff-morris-archie-goodwin-get-in-scuffle-on-the-bench/ | dclm-gs1-269420011 | false | false | {

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – In late September, I went to lunch with Alex Anthopoulos. We walked several blocks to and from the Rogers Center, and in those short distances you would have thought I was with another Canadian icon: The London, Ont.-born Justin Bieber.
Every few steps, the Blue Jays general manager was stopped for a picture, an autograph or kind words about reviving baseball in the city. The Montreal-born Anthopoulos was a Canadian hero.
Barely more than a month later, he is the ex-GM of the Blue Jays.
In a development that stunned the industry, Anthopoulos rejected a five-year extension and decided to leave what seemed his dream job after a dream season. He was named Major League Baseball Executive of the Year by Sporting News, and now he is no longer an MLB executive.
New Blue Jays president Mark ShapiroAP
Mark Shapiro, a longtime executive with the Indians, was named Toronto’s team president on Aug. 31, effective at the end of the season. His conversations with Anthopoulos had been cordial, and the expectation was the two would blend well enough for Anthopoulos to continue in his job.
However, when a powerful executive with history running a baseball operation comes in to oversee a department, the sense is the GM will lose authority. In Boston, Ben Cherington was asked to stay on as GM when former Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski was named president of baseball operations. Cherington resigned, sensing he no longer was the main decision-maker, and Cherington’s team was in the midst of finishing last for a second straight year after winning it all.
Anthopoulos was now looking at losing authority after reaching the playoffs. That had to be untenable to him, or else why walk away from the job he always wanted with a multi-year offer on the table?
Anthopoulos was known to be close with outgoing team president Paul Beeston. Anthopoulos exits also at a time when there are no more GM jobs open. It is possible baseball could one day return to Anthopoulos’ hometown of Montreal, and he could always be part of the ongoing effort to bring that to reality. For now, though, the GM who ended what had been the longest playoff drought in the majors (since 1992) is unemployed.
Anthopoulos was promoted from assistant GM to GM in October 2009 upon the dismissal of J.P. Ricciardi, now one of Mets GM Sandy Alderson’s most trusted lieutenants.
Anthopoulos’ best work came this season. He brought in Russell Martin on the largest contract the organization ever had given to a free agent (five years, $82 million) and traded for Josh Donaldson, who might win the AL MVP. Sensing the Yankees were vulnerable in the AL East, Anthopoulos was the most aggressive GM in July, trading significant prospects to upgrade the roster, specifically obtaining Troy Tulowitzki and David Price, who may win the AL Cy Young.
The Blue Jays won the AL East and advanced to the ALCS, where they lost in six games to the Royals.

I agree with George White. I have several algorithm based patents. In all cases, they patent the application of a novel algorithm to solving a very specific problem (analysis of real time PCR results). I've been told (I'm not a lawyer myself) that an algorithm, by itself, would be considered "abstract" and thus unpatentable.
Even if you decide on a specific application of your algorithm for the patent, it still needs to be novel and non-obvious to someone skilled in the art. Since you are modifying an existing algorithm and combining it with another existing mathematical law, the question the examiner might pose is whether the modification and combination is something someone skilled in the art might think of and is thus obvious. It might take a skilled patent attorney to draft and prosecute a patent against such a challenge.
• And I agree with Eric. – George White Jan 4 '20 at 6:02
It is possible but it would need to be applied to some useful end. Using the terms algorithm and mathematical law in the text of a patent application would liking get it rejected out of hand unless phrased very carefully.

Climber: Dennis Stewart
Others in Party:Marshall Stewart -- Trip Report or GPS Track
Date:Monday, February 1, 2016
Ascent Type:Successful Summit Attained
Peak:Petit Jean Mountain
Elevation:2440 ft / 743 m
Ascent Trip Report
As far as I can determine, Petit Jean Mountain is the 13th highest named highpoint in Arkansas. It is a drive up with the highest point just 100 yards from the road, but the road to get there is long and quite rough. I did make it, however, in my 1991 Ford Festiva, so you should be able to make it up in anything you have unless you're worried about getting your car dirty. According to the topo map, this spot used to be called the Stonehouse Recreation Area with a lookout tower, but nothing remains today, except the cement pads where the tower used to stand. Even the summit benchmark is missing and there is no view here due to the trees. Probably the only thing that remains interesting about this highpoint is the name. According to local legend, a French nobleman named Chavet was granted an expedition to explore uncharted regions of the New World in the 1700's. His beautiful fiancée, Adrienne Dumont, tried to convince him to allow her to join him on his journey, but Chavet refused. Adrienne did not give up, however. She came up with a daring plan to disguise herself as a young man and attempt to work onboard the ship. She cut her hair and went into disguise. She was able to obtain a position as the ship's cabin boy. Her fellow sailors liked the quiet, little cabin boy and gave "him" the name Petit Jean, which translates to Little John. Petit Jean kept to herself and her true identity remained a secret with even Chavet unable to recognize her. Chavet's ship crossed the Atlantic Ocean and eventually sailed up the Mississippi River and then further into the wilderness up the Arkansas River. The crew arrived at the foot of what is now Petit Jean Mountain (but not the same one recorded here) and they were welcomed by American Indians to stay for the summer. As autumn approached, the ship's crew prepared to continue their journey. Unfortunately, Petit Jean became gravely ill with fever. It was during this helpless state that her attendants discovered she was a woman. Shortly, Chavet learned that Petit Jean was, in fact, his beloved fiancée. Petit Jean asked Chavet to forgive her for the deception, but it was during this reunion that her condition grew worse. Knowing that death was near, she made a final request, which was to be buried high upon the beautiful point of a mountain overlooking the river. Chavet and the ship's crew buried Petit Jean there and named the mountain after her. (The above information was taken from a historical information sign in Petit Jean State Park located several dozen miles to the east just south of the Arkansas River. This is where Petit Jean is supposed to actually be buried and not on this mountain, although it is named Petit Jean Mountain. It so happens that there is more than one Petit Jean Mountain in Arkansas. Another one, where Petit Jean is supposed to be buried is in Petit Jean State Park. That Mountain is also called Petit Jean Mountain, but its elevation is only 1207 feet, 1232 feet lower than this summit.)

But what kind of story can you write about a person that is passing away, or about a life story? What type essay writing service of story should you write about that has no beginning and no end? There is a simple answer to that question: a lifeline.

One of the best ways to Build a Brand name New Academic Program
The Social Sciences at the 21st Century has actually been enduring a shift from humanities and your arts to the area of comprehension named bio-ethics. The most recent believing that's managing our instructional and cultural methods is the very fact that of Social Justice, also which the research of drugs, regulation, politics, philosophy, instruction, and other mental pursuits with the sort could only be accomplished by analyzing the science of person behaviour.
Like a University of your Arts, Really, '' or a University of your Folks University of Working out, is becoming established up Inside This new entire world. Education's University is recognized as K K Kyani Science Convention. KK Kyani signifies"Knowledge Construction Theory" as well as KK is an acronym for"Comprehension Design Thought and Social Science."
This college proposes to unite the science of familiarity to make an educational method that will allow for students to understand the complexities of human beings. As mentioned by them, humanities and science can to coexist, offered that they're implemented with knowledge.
K K Kyani asserts that humans have formulated 4 types of finding out types, but could basically answer to scientific strategies if the material is provided concerning these fashions. The variety of language that you employs will ascertain the kind of mastering procedure someone may very well undertake. The 4 discovering modes are very simple terminology language language, and speech that's difficult.
As mentioned by K K Kyani, everyday people reply in several means to a combo of these forms of language. In order to aid comprehension of their standards of an individual individual, the review must be executed at the method of science and not top essay writing review from humanities' manner. This theory has been termed as"The two manners of awareness."
There are 3 simple rules that govern this specified unique concept. They are:
Humans assemble o Data. People assemble the data in the way they may quickly be able expressing it.
O Human beings have electrical power. Human beings contain the aptitude to manufacture issues are comprehended by them in a means that no other animals could know. They have the expertise that no other animal might chat.
O Many people react regarding distinct varieties of language's use. The instruction fashions have already been all determined by the would mean in.
As mentioned by K-K Kyani, this will mean that human beings possess a a great deal broader spectrum of solutions to varied types of studying styles. Subsequently, an individual who learns will most likely reply towards the scientific way at a way that could be diverse in comparison to any person who learns.
The elementary kinds of processes are presently to be introduced as far as instruction is worried. One particular among the ways that has just been released can be which the"Lithosphere." This is a group of individuals who analysis the composition of a tradition, and also its composition.
If the school scheme was formulated, this kind of need for know-how had been clear at the dark ages. It absolutely was adopted by quite a few religious associations. It were recognized the features of this college, religion, and arithmetic were to exist along with in a similar modern society, even with the priest and in addition the scientist , getting of similar standing.
Barometer Definition Chemistry is Takes place Concerning the Connection Involving the Deterioration for the Air additionally, the Deterioration of This Compacted Found around the Cylinder
Barometer Definition Chemistry is Typically About the Relationship Relating to the Deterioration of your Air as well as Temperature of This Compacted around the Cylinder
Barometer Definition Chemistry! It does exist, although It is actually challenging plus a challenging phenomena to spell out. The expression"barometer" refers to the ordinary tension, which establishes the warmth of their air in the process as the water under the best layer in the earth.
Even the barometer definition that could be complete most normal is its a strategy of measuring the altitude of this active temperature. This will be the way in which they complete also it is how they're utilized. You know that there will be humidity if you possess to ascend bigger than about a dozen thousand feet when you go up in a plane. At the time you take a have a look in a barometer on a lawn you can convey to if it can be instead minimal or possibly napping.
What do you have a look at could be the decent determine as to the rationale why it features, nevertheless, the concern is... can it all be clarified by general perception guess? Inside party that you would like to discover additional facts about barometers, this seriously is amid the answers.
A residence barometer being an instance is a gas that is a bit milder in stress in comparison to inside of the cylinder is and also filled inside of a cylinder. When it will occur into contact with the barometer in the incredibly very best for the air, it climbs as the much larger force will make the barometer within just the air to gradually increase in nervousness.
Barometer transformation could be hard since the valves that control the sum of air moving into or leaving the cylinder have got a tendency to job research paper cover sheet in varied manners. Due to the fact I talked about, Additionally, you'll find a variety of types of barometers beforehand. The Baro gauge is honestly literally a barometer that employs gravity to estimate the stress, while the number and the loop that is certainly closed, mainly because there're called, use gasses and sensors to make the calculation.
Barometer definition chemistry is sometimes believed to be very much the same to chemistry. Chemistry is especially complicated and necessitates quite a few reasons. Chemical reactions engage in with a purpose in the outcome of compounds, as they're concerned in close to each and every matter we 28, having said that I must perhaps most likely not be too stunned.
At an analogous period of time, that response is slowly but surely transpiring, the compound parts that are being formed is taking place. They unquestionably are supplying warmth off, so that the complete outcome of this response is presently becoming considerably extra concerned, and much more of the aspects are now being put alongside one another.
Barometer definition chemistry is about the temperature of the liquid comprised in the air and also the association involving this air's warmth. That is a entire superior offer of assistance simplify it. Temperature is a evaluate.
Water is a great illustration of electric power, but also for explanation's sake, think about sizzling temperature and chilly weather conditions. Hotter temperature ailments indicates whilst the colder weather weather is still full of the substance, the air is filled with electrical power. Thus the temperature of this gas within just the cylinder will develop.
To figure out the tension in the barometer multiply it by 1, 000 and you need to choose the temperature of the canister, then break up from the stress and anxiety for you to obtain the emotional tension. The emotional tension is the stress of the atmosphere in excess of the go over with the cylinder. The temperature of this gas and the warmth of the air will most likely influence the stress with the barometer.
The heat of the gasoline is managed with this Baro choose along with also the cset's compound responses. When the senses a thing is heading on, it releases heat, whilst the Baro gauge doesn't release any heating.
In summary, barometer definition chemistry is with regards to the reaction of alloys and electrons. It is actually pretty honestly exhausting to spell out however pretty quick to extensive as it regards this reaction. Knowingthe notions and formulation are very important to understand how a barometer performs and that which accurately a Baro choose is. | https://pousadafaroldabarra.com.br/2020/03/ | dclm-gs1-269650011 | false | true | {

Enliven lessons by discussing Supreme Court cases and challenged books.
How common is it for someone to challenge all library materials on a topic? This hasn’t happened in the public library where I work, but local churches are urging members to challenge materials in schools on the occult and witchcraft.
Individuals and groups have been trying to challenge all materials on specific content areas since ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom began tracking challenges to books and materials. Children’s books about witchcraft and the occult have always been problematic to some people, but the first Harry Potter book in 1997 brought the topic front and center. Now, LGBTQ+ content is the latest area targeted by churches, community organizations, and individuals wishing to control what children read. Their rationale: Children will be warped by the topic.
Since school and public libraries make their catalogs available online, it’s easy for censors to list materials they deem “inappropriate” for children. This can be controlled with a good materials reconsideration policy. It should make clear that individual materials may be challenged and reconsidered, but not entire topics. This may halt broad efforts to ban materials dealing with a specific issue.
An eighth grade teacher wants to develop a different approach to teaching the First Amendment to her students. She says they are bored with the textbook analysis.
Students need to understand the First Amendment in its historical context, and they also need to know how to apply it to their own lives. Suggest that the teacher assign them to read about Supreme Court cases where students have fought for First Amendment rights:
1. Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969)
2. Board of Education v. Pico (1982)
3. Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier (1988)
Debating both sides of an issue helps students understand how complicated free speech is today. Have them discuss how Morse v. Frederick (2007) is different from Tinker v. Des Moines. It appears to be a similar issue about students’ right to free speech in school, but the Supreme Court ruled against the former while ruling in favor of Tinker.
Book censorship is still a major problem in schools. Give students a list of challenged titles and ask them to check ones they’ve read. Discuss why each has been challenged. Divide the class into three groups and have each read a challenged book. I suggest The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang, and The House of Scorpion by Nancy Farmer.
Each group should then conduct a mock Reconsideration Committee meeting, an opportunity for students to listen to all sides of an issue.
I encourage the teacher to include a discussion about rights and responsibilities. This should include appropriate behavior on social media sites. Most students don’t realize how inflammatory speech or bullying on social media can get them in trouble at school.
The internet is like the historical public square where anyone can speak about any topic and slant it to their own bias. It’s increasingly important that teachers help students recognize such biases and encourage them to read about topics from many viewpoints before they form an opinion. All Americans have the right to express themselves, but their thoughts will be better heard if they back their ideas with relevant information.
I work in a large public library system. All materials are selected by the collection development staff. I asked why so few graphic novels were bought for the children’s collection and was told that “most graphic novels aren’t appropriate.”
This is simply not true. Reviews show just how many graphic novels are available for children. Someone in that department is interjecting their own bias. Arrange a meeting with the collection development staff. If that doesn’t work, speak to the director.

Mystery of the Selkies- Kalita’s Resolve
We have been around for centuries, hiding in plain sight amongst you mortals for as long as the Ocean has been a crisp, clear blue color. We watch you mortals travel the seas high, and travel the seas low. We watch from afar, but yet we can still see the wonder of the mystery of our legend in your eyes. You wanted to know do we exist? Are we real? What’s the purpose of us being here? Are we violent? Haha, anxious mortal, the answers to your questions are all true. We wouldn’t say that we are that violent. We do get pretty aggressive on certain occasions when your kind tries to catch us so they can have good luck and imprison us. We were created by the God Poseidon to be watchers of mankind, to see you mortals flourish, but some of our kind turned evil and started to kill man kind. So we separated ourselves from them and we called our kind “Selkies.” The evil water nixies are called mermaids, it’s a big difference. They live in the darkest depths of the ocean, know as shallow creeks. No Selkie ever ventures there, because it’s to dangerous, we however live within the middle of the ocean rifts known as Merfolk Kingdom.
We oversee man kind’s protection as you lot travel the seas high and mild. You think of us as fairy tales, because we make sure we are barely seen, but we in fact are all around you. Most of us can transform into a human body and live on land for short periods before we have to return back to the Ocean. Our mission is to protect man kind’s travels and to make sure the mermaids you mortals talk so highly of doesn’t trick you into thinking that they are genuine, when in fact they are pure evil and they will consume your soul the chance they get and you never be seen from again. The sailor looked puzzled after hearing all this and he walked over to the Selkie and asked her one question. “Can you take me with you, and show me the wonders of the ocean, that my eyes have not seen? The Selkie said, “Now why would I do that?” Your just a mortal, you will drown before we reach the depths of the ocean. The sailor was persistent in his demands but the Selkie refused his offer and she said that she must return to the Merfolk Kingdom. But as soon as she was about to leave the sailor threw a net over her before she could dive back in the ocean and he had trapped her. He smiled and said, “So it is true, what they say. You creatures fear fish nets.” The Selkie was outraged and threatened to curse him, but the sailor didn’t let her go and her told her that she was the one who he had been having dreams about since he was young and that she was the sea woman that he was in love with and that he didn’t know why. The Selkie told him to shut up and that he was speaking out of his head and that he didn’t know what he was saying.
The sailor told her that he knew it was her that appeared to him in his dreams and he told her that her name was Kalita, the beautiful mermaid, the daughter of the sea god Poseidon, the first mermaid that lead the rebel against her father and she was banished fro Atlantis to be damned a Selkie forever until her curse is broken by her finding true love, but in order for her to do that she must put an end to the reign of the evil mermaids also known as Water Nixies. How do you know this? The Selkie asked the sailor as he pulled the fish net off of her. He answered calmly and collectively by saying. “I knew it was you the moment you started telling about where you came from and it’s hard to forget a face of someone that you be in love with this whole time.” Kalita was overwhelmed with dysphoria that she dipped her head for a second and then she started smiling and then the water around her started twirling around her and she transformed into a full figured human and the sailor was astonished but yet thrilled by her transformation, that he stared in amazement at Kalita’s beauty.
The Kalita and the sailor started started chanting in unison saying “Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles, Sink down to the ocean top, Falling, falling, falling, Falling down until we stop, Are the ocean waves angry? Or is soft? As we fall, these bubbles portray our feelings, As we stop, and the love we share is thrilling.” An they both kissed romantically and then Kalita told the sailor that was her favorite chant as a child growing up and only her true love would know the words of it. The sailor smiled and said yes, that was my favorite chant as well growing up too. They smiled in each other’s face and then the sailor told Kalita and said, “You know the Nixies will come after us once they find out that you have found me, and they will stop at nothing to hunt us down and kill us. Kalita grabbed the sailor’s face and said “Enzo, my love, let them try.” She then kissed him again and they disappeared in the sunset.

george_takai_militaryI know it’s hard for the precious reader to fathom the idea that the person writing this piece has ever had trouble with the ladiez, but it’s true! There are times when I go out to the bar, talk to a few broads and strike out! I realize that I look unfathomably good, but it indeed does happen. I’m trying to make myself look better through a tough workout and diet regimen, which will flatten my stomach and bring out my chest, so I strike out less. But indeed, there are nights – many of them – where I’m forced to retreat to my room and have sex by my lonesome, coming up with all manner of depraved scenario in my head (I don’t watch very much pornography), giving myself the satisfaction I was unable to obtain via some skank or lonely barfly.
Of course I’m not alone in this regard; most men aren’t Casanovas. And, since our teachers taught us in sex ed that strokin’ the ol’ pole is a natural function, there’s nuthin’ to be ashamed of. In fact, it’s damn near necessary sometimes. Hell, it’s SO necessary, that when you HAVEN’T jerked off in a while, your body will force you to extract some of your milky, white testicle ooze during a wet dream.
And just to gross out the reader even more, when I was drunkenly and sloppily banging Jo the ex-stripper, who does the “fill in puzzles”, and I kept pumping and pumping and pumping, blowing one wad after another and charging back up within seconds before pumping and pumping and pumping some more, she asked the fundamental question about the male sex drive; “aren’t you satisfied?” In fact, she privately messaged me and told me “you were like a machine last night!”
Machine-like fucking notwithstanding, she understood that the male sex organ, the DICK, if you will, CRAVES satisfaction; that rising feeling that keeps getting better and better and better until it peaks and a release occurs, causing semen to shoot out of the tiny slit in the head of the mushroom. When women say, “guys only think with their dicks”, they’re right. The NEED to satisfy the urge is so incredibly strong that guys will lose friendships, get into fights, risk their lives, accumulate great amounts of wealth and build entire civilizations because of it; men have gone to war, and empires have been destroyed because of it. I’m not going to go into the specific seduction techniques a woman would need to control a man via the power of the male sex drive, but let’s put it this way; if you’re a woman of even moderate attractiveness, you pretty much never need to work.
On top of that, many women have NO IDEA how therapeutic sex can be. People say music soothes the savage beast. Wrong; sex does. It releases endorphins, truly taking the “edge off” a shitty day and calming the nerves. In Falling Down, all Michael Douglas needed was a good blowjob…
So, what happens when you can’t relieve the tension in your loins?
The most striking thing about Born on the 4th of July was how Tom Cruise’s character had lost his dick in Vietnam. The fact that he had to piss through a tube was bad enough, but the hooker he hired was utterly useless. What could she do for him? Rub his back? Lick his ear? Those are the things you do to tease a man before giving him the payoff, that is pleasuring his holy mushroom. Hell, my dick instantly hardens when someone rubs my nipple. All pleasure sensations eventually lead to the dick, and he didn’t have one.
In Sam Fuller’s World War II epic, The Big Red One, after an explosion, one of the characters feels around his crotch and excitedly exclaims, “I still have my dick!” And don’t think there is ANYTHING funny about that. You could lose both arms, both legs, both ears and both eyes, have your tongue sliced off and half your face blown off, but if there’s a woman who can stomach blowing or fucking you, somehow life JUST doesn’t seem so bad.
You’re probably thinking, “yeah, okay, okay, I get it. Guys need their dicks, but what’s you point?”
I’m getting there, asshole!
Trannies are this week’s topic du jour thanks to Donald Trump banning them from serving in the military. And, while I have no problem with this decision, all sorts of issues have been brought up with regards to this sub-sub-sub-sub sect of society, one that nobody even thought about until some mentally ill assholes decided to shove their daddy issues down everyone’s throats.
“Transgenderism” is completely made up bullshit. You’re either a transvestite, which means you enjoy wearing women’s clothing, or you’re a transsexual, which means you had your dick cut off and replaced with an artificial vagina.
And don’t get me wrong; I love John Waters’ films, but I would NEVER considered Divine to be a woman, and neither does John Waters.
“But, Edwin”, you say, “I STILL don’t understand what this has to do with men needing their dicks.”
Well, dipshit, what happens when a man becomes a transsexual? He done can’t use his dick no mo’. The physical male pleasure center is GONE, baby, and it ain’t NEVER comin’ back. I’ve read that the phony vagina uses the same nerves from the original penis, and the penis head is crafted into a clitoris of sorts, but I highly doubt the same satisfaction is ever achieved again. I mean REAL women, ya know, the ones who were born with a vagina, a uterus, an XX chromosome and the estrogen that makes them so emotional, complain that they have a hard time getting off. So the idea that one could achieve with an artificial vagina the same satisfaction one once achieved with his dick is pretty hard to believe.
Of course, the man who decided to become a “woman” knew all of this, right? Well, you would think. One of the biggest arguments against the “transgender” trend is that there is a 40% rate of suicide associated with it. The most popular and naturally foolhardy explanation for the high rate of suicide among trannies is that they get bullied and harassed to the point of wanting to off themselves.
Think about this VERY carefully… VERY VERY VERY carefully…
According to this article, the high suicide rate among “transgendered” people has nothing to do with discrimination, but their high level of mental illness and depression. I’ll take it one step further. I would LOVE to see an HONEST study which EXPLICITLY measures the suicide rates of post-op trannies; because, you know what we call pre-op trannies in non-retarded land? MEN WHO DRESS LIKE WOMEN!!!
And remember, once you make the “transition” to the dickless side, there is no going back; no more nights of looking at whatever gives you a boner and relieving tension in a few simple strokes; no more splattering your goo onto your bedroom wall or sex partner’s face; no more endorphin release… it’s ALL gone…
On the other hand, if the ridiculous idea of aiding and abetting a dinky percent of the population pans out though Supreme Court fiat, and trannies are eventually allowed to serve in the military, they could relieve all their pent up sexual frustration by blowing away Islamic terrorists, so I guess it’s a win win.
Rap Metal Against Racism
limp_bizkit_antifaProbably the stupidest, yet longest lasting argument in the punk rock underground is whether a person can listen to a band in spite what they stand for. I remember getting chastised for professing my love for… ready for this… BAD BRAINS. One would think that being a fan of the Bad Brains, the all black punk band from Washington, D.C., would be the ultimate virtue signal, right?
Nope. As it turns out, the Bad Brains weren’t too fond of homos, and they weren’t quiet about it either. They attacked fellow hardcore bands like the Dicks, the Big Boys and Hüsker Dü for being “bloodclot faggots.” See, the Bad Brains adopted Rastafarian culture, and one thing the Rastafarians, much like the Muslims, can’t stand are “bloodclot faggots.” Now, does that matter to me personally? Of course not. I just like their music; super tight and fast hardcore punk with metal riffs and the occasional reggae jam thrown in. Most of the time I can’t even understand what they’re saying.
But I was yelled at for being one of those guys who “only cares about the music.” I’M NOT KIDDING. I was accused of not being righteous enough, of ONLY caring that I liked the music. You can probably assume that, for some of these people, listening to Skrewdriver is completely out of the question. I’ve talked about Skrewdriver before, but as a refresher, they were a 70s punk band that dressed like skinheads and released a couple of singles and one album of normal, generic, but still pretty catchy punk rock before their singer, Ian Stuart, continued to use the name with a whole new set of backing musicians and reinvented them as a white power band. And musically speaking, they’re okay.
Actually this type of thought policing has become pretty common in punk rock and other underground music genres; among other things, it has lead to bands being thrown off festivals and out of gigs for allegedly having “nefarious” views. “What? Your band was released by THAT label?” “You were seen hanging out with THAT guy?” “I KNOW what those symbols REALLY stand for, bucko! We’re hip to your game!”
Hey look! Here’s Wattie from the Exploited hanging out with what looks like a Nazi skinhead.
But look at this! Here he is hanging out with a black guy wearing a Motörhead t-shirt!
Well, fuck me sideways! Which one is it? Is he a Nazi, or is he not a Nazi? I don’t know, and I won’t ever again be able to listen to the Exploited until this issue is resolved.
Sadly, with such a low bar set on the quality of the music, and such a high bar set on “social justice”, the question I have for Antifas, punk rockers and other underground music weirdos is, “how SHITTY will you let your music get provided that the band shares your views?” Case in point, this brand spanking new video from a band called Stray From the Path. Go ahead, watch the video. I dare ya!
Not sure how far you got into video, but it’s not good. First, there’s the music. After a few bars of pick slides going up and down the guitar neck set to a funky drum beat, the singer, who (perhaps ironically) has a similar haircut to Milo Yiannopoulos and sounds like the singer from Rage Against the Machine, shouts “you just got knocked the fuck out!”; then a generic, overly-compressed, nu-metal riff plays behind his whiny, white boy rapping. Some of the phrases I could make out in the song include “fist held high”, “punishment fits the crime”, “racist President”, “it’s 2017”, “eye for an eye”, “that’s what he said”, “fuck him, and fuck you too”…
…did he just say, “we used to never let these dickheads have any control”? Which “dickheads” is he talking about? Is he implying that, back in the day, his righteous peeps, who don’t look like their older than 25, never let the Nazi skinheads have control of a venue?
Back up the train, negro. Since I was 14 years old, back in the late 90s, I started going to shows at Harpos in Detroit, where I saw Gwar (where my ex Melissa fucked Dave “Oderus Urungus” Brockie!), the Misfits (with Michale Graves, the place was packed!), the Dead Kennedys (with Brandon Cruz, only about 20 people showed up!), Danzig, Clutch, Corrosion of Conformity, Manowar, Motörhead, Cradle of Filth, Rotting Christ, Usurper, Six Feet Under, Murphy’s Law, Cannibal Corpse and even heavy metal’s number one homo ROB MOTHERFUCKING HALFORD. The place was known as a hangout for neo-Nazis, and I’ve even met a few. Someone told me a story where a bunch of Nazi skinheads started fights and pushed people around at G.B.H. and Napalm Death shows since both of those bands are openly anti-racist. At the Danzig gig, I saw a bunch of them doing Hitler salutes. Now, is chunky Milo implying in the video that he and his peeps would have taken a stand against these guys, many of whom are built like linebackers and either fresh out of or on the way to prison? I’m sure that would have worked out REALLY well.
…other choice passages from the song include “preach hate”, “what makes you think that you’re the superior race?!” and of course the very original “NAZI PUNKS FUCK OFF!!!”.
But secondly, and barring the fact that the band members don’t look too different from what many AltRighters look like, the video tells the story in which a guy in a MAGA hat goes into his home, where he has a Hitler poster and a bunch of swastikas on his wall and a TV playing clips of Richard Spencer at one of his “identitarian” conferences, and plan some sort of terrorist attack, only to have his plans foiled by “brave” anti-racist “activists”, who break into his home, mug him at gun point, beat him down, tie him up and tattoo a swastika onto his forehead.
I mean, I can’t even. Andy Nowicki and I disagree over which is the more important problem with the video; that it sets up a ridiculous straw man, saying it’s okay to beat up anybody who you perceive to be a Nazi, which Richard Spencer is most certainly not (they could have at least gotten it right and put Andrew Anglin on the TV) or that the song sucks ding dongs. I say the latter. As of this writing, the “Goodnight Alt-Right” video has received 16,301 dislikes (one of which is mine, thank ya very much!) and 2,960 likes. It’s not totally clear if most viewers of the video don’t agree with the message, just think the song blows or both. If you want a video with a stupid, “anti-Nazi” message that’s set to a good song by a good band, click here! At least the Off! video resembles a grindhouse flick and has Brian Posehn, Dave Foley and David Yow playing Nazis in it.
But the question I have for the Antifas, punks and underground music weirdos is: are you okay with rap metal just as long as they don’t do it just for the nookie?
Boys Are Boys, Girls Are Choice and Girls Will Never Be Boys
If the left can politicize everything, than goddamn it, so can I! Below is a video of the Monks performing their classic “Boys Are Boys and Girls Are Choice.”
The song is from their 1966 LP, Blank Monk Time, one of the many fine additions to the more obscure cannon of 60s rock, right along side The Village Fugs Sing Ballads of Contemporary Protest, Point of Views and General Dissatisfaction and The Fugs by the Fugs, The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators and Easter Everywhere by the 13 Floor Elevators, The Seeds and A Web of Sound by the Seeds and Here Are the Sonics!!! and Boom by the Sonics.
You can read all of the Monks’ biographical trivia at their Wikipedia page. The important thing to know is that they dressed like monks when they performed, and they had a unique approach to the two and half minute song formula that focused on rhythmic hooks and utilized the fun “chinka-chinka” sound of Dave Day’s banjo, somehow making the songs so stupidly catchy that there are times when I could listen to Black Monk Time on repeat for days at a clip. Also their sound influenced the deliberately repetitive “vamping” of German “kraut rock” bands like Can and Neu!, and the Fall site the Monks as a huge influence and have covered several of their songs.
Now, obviously, there’s nothing political about the song “Boys Are Boys and Girls Are Choice”; it’s just a song about the joy of being a guy going after a girl (presumably when it was more fun and wouldn’t get you accused of rape). But in the current year, when “transgender” freaks are pushing an agenda that says a person can now choose his, her or its gender, rather being ASSIGNED a gender at birth by, ya know, having a set of cock ‘n’ balls or a wet, oozing vagina, the song BECOMES political.
On top of that, it celebrates heterosexuality; I mean, if you’re a straight guy, girls are choice, aren’t they? Provided they’re not fat or ugly, that is. And don’t get mad at me for saying that; being fat and ugly are problems that are relatively easy to fix.
Ironically the people at Light in the Attic records, who released phenomenal vinyl and CD reissues of Black Monk Time, probably think I’m a “transphobic” bigot for writing this piece. Or maybe they secretly believe in the song’s message and are trying to push the Monks’ evil and vile agenda.
Cruisin’ on the Dream Machine: an interview with Matthew Melton
dream_machine_the_illusionAs I sit in Starbucks, sucking the bandwidth off their free wifi signal while not actually buying anything (yeah, screw the man!), listening to the hypnotic, psychedelic fuzz rock of The Illusion, the debut LP from Dream Machine, I ask myself, “isn’t it strange how nearly half a century ago, the first Coven album, Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls, was deleted by the record label that put it out only a month after they released it because they were worried about the shock and outrage it would have generated among Christian conservatives in America?” My mind continues to wander, and similarly I think, “isn’t it crazy how the same year that the first Coven album came out, the MC5 got in a WHOLE heap of shit just for shouting ‘kick out the jams, motherfuckers!’ at the beginning of the title track on their first album?” Times sure have changed since Kick Out the Jams had to be hidden behind the counters at records shops; because of ONE word, kids had to show that they were at least 18 years old if they wanted to buy it!
And ain’t it a hoot how, when I was talking to someone who worked at a record shop in Grand Rapids, he told me that all the parents were freaked out that their kids were listening to these new fandangled bands with names like Black Sabbath and Alice Cooper, who apparently worshiped the devil, sacrificed animals onstage… or possibly even PEOPLE!!!
And I think, “what would piss off, shock and outrage the kids and adults of the current year?” Self mutilation? Done. Onstage defecation? Done. Throwing bloody tampons at the crowd? Done. Inverted crosses and pentagrams? Done. Putting a dildo up Jesus’ anus? Done, done and done again! Defecating on a drawing of the Prophet Muhammad while burning the Koran and wearing Indian feathers and a yarmulke? Okay, that one hasn’t been done yet. But Dream Machine might as well have done it considering the quagmire they put themselves in when guitarist/singer Matthew Melton, formerly of the power-pop band Warm Soda, and keyboardist/singer and Melton’s wife Doris openly bashed the United States’ liberal immigration policies, political correctness and feminism.
They soon found themselves getting booted from their record label, Castle Face records, and forced to fend for themselves in a sea of politically correct hipster hostility, which is one of the reasons they left their hometown of Austin, TX to Amsterdam. Their story became something of a cause celebre for people on the right or just anyone fed up with stifling political correctness, and it appears that many people have come to their defense; albeit privately for fear that they too will get a mob of anorexic, glasses and skinny jean wearing nerds or bearded fatsos on their asses.
The music on The Illusion is catchy as heck; the male Melton plays heavy, fuzzed to hell guitar riffs; the female Melton waxes speedy and melodic on what sounds like a Farfisa; the two alternate on lead vocals; the songs are all short; and the whole thing will send you on a 1968 time warp to some dimly lit, underground catacomb, where a bunch of stoned out hippies gyrate to flashing strobe lights; ya know, like the Alice Cooper scene in Diary of a Mad Housewife. Oh and Doris kinda resembles Michelle Phillips from the Mamas & the Papas.
I interviewed Matthew Melton via email, and he gave me well thought out, lucid answers that are remarkably bold considering how sensitive the dweebs in the music scene really are; fer Chrissakes, I got booted from a Melvins group for dissing on ambient noise music and professing my love for the Nuge. Sorry for setting the emperor’s clothes on fire, dudez. If it were 1975, and he were Eric Clapton, then maybe Melton’s views would not be so bold. But that was then, and this is now. In a culture where every form of degeneracy is permitted and celebrated, there seems to be a bit of an insurrection going on….
Savage Hippie: Let’s get the juicy stuff out of the way. You were recently kicked off of Castle Face records for making some “ugly” remarks. In one of your interviews, your keyboardist and singer Doris is quoted as saying, “The choice to move to Europe was guided by a lot of factors. American musicians (hopefully not Europe too) are getting increasingly politically correct and it started getting on our nerves.” And then you say, “So excited to be moving to Europe, but I will always consider myself a red-blooded American. And just like the waves of refugees pouring into Europe I will also not be learning any new languages or culturally assimilating.” And later still, Doris says, “I agree with Matthew on that. ICE is just doing their job, and I’m glad they’re finally starting to work on deporting criminal illegal aliens too. It took ages for me to get my green card here legally and because there’s so many illegals coming in they make it hard for the people who do want to become part of American society the right way. They’re handing out free money to people who come here illegally, but when you want to work hard to become an American citizen to start a family they make it so hard on you, and expensive!” You HAD to have known what kind of response you would get from an overly sensitive music scene, so why the loose tongue?
Dream Machine: Whether or not we knew it at the time, our interview ended up being a modern day political correctness test for society which a lot of people failed miserably. Even when we look at it now, all we really expressed was that we want to live in a place governed by law and order where people haven’t gone completely insane with political correctness. The people who freaked out so much did so mostly because of accumulated political frustration and peer pressure. The reason that we know that it was a fake outrage and nothing more than mere social media virtue signaling, is because we didn’t receive a single email from an upset person asking for any clarification, discussion, explanation, or condemnation for any part of our interview. Not even one! If people were genuinely concerned with things we said, someone would have reached out to say: “Hey man, what’s up with that?” or “We hate you guys” or SOMETHING! We feel completely vindicated because the backlash completely proved our point about how Facebook has become an echo chamber vortex that breeds reactionary weaklings. Most of the people who were freaking out so much are the same ones that adamantly defend modern technology to the death, unable to see the damage it is causing to our general well being and independent thought. We saw a couple the other day at a bus stop and the lady was holding up an iPad to her husband open to another couples profile shouting: “Why aren’t we happy like they are!” I think it’s actually a very serious problem, I could go on and on about it.
Savage Hippie: Similarly, those remarks might have gained you some new fans from the political right. Are you happy to embrace any fans of your music even if their views might not be completely kosher? Clearly Dream Machine isn’t a political band, but do you guys stand for any parties, politicians or views, or do you basically keep that stuff to yourselves?
Dream Machine: At the end of the day, we consider ourselves musicians, not politicians and we don’t affiliate with any political or ideological party but we’d most likely fit in best as libertarians. People on the right will like us because we reject the poisonous group think of the alt-left which has become nothing less than a cult of unthinking zombies. That’s why we decided to oppose Facebook from the beginning, because it is the arena that the regressive left uses to radicalize their unsuspecting subjects while at the same time rendering their lives disharmonic and subservient. You don’t need a political affiliation to know that you need to avoid that! It’s common sense.
Savage Hippie: According to another interview, you released The Illusion on Castle Face records, referring to the owners as your “homies.” Do you still consider them your homies? Did you phone ’em and say, “what the fuck guys? Thought you had our backs?”
Dream Machine: I did at one point, I mean they released 6 albums of my music over a period of several years. But it’s clear that they reacted out of fear and now I honestly feel bad for them now because so many people noticed the integrity they lost by kicking me to the curb in an attempt to appear virtuous to their customer base. It may have worked partially how they had hoped but it mostly backfired in their face. It worked out for us in the end because we gained such an overwhelming outreach from thousands of new fans, record labels, booking agents, etc and we’ve already ended up getting more exposure than we would have staying with Castle Face. Another weird factor in all this is that so many hundreds of people including other artists on their label and people in the music scene reached out to us expressing how they felt what they did was a pathetic move and they completely support us and saw nothing wrong with common sense opinions we gave, but also said that they could not speak publicly about it for fear of facing scrutiny from the angry mob. At least we were able to create a discussion so people can see for themselves which side of history they want to be on.
Savage Hippie: Running through your music is a sort of, how do I say it, anti-degeneracy message? Once again, quoting Doris, she says, “The people I see here in Austin sleep with a different person every week. It just doesn’t make sense to me. When you sleep with that many people it can’t mean anything, it has to be meaningless. Everything is meaningless nowadays.” Seems like there’s almost a Christian message running through your music, or maybe not? Do you worry people will say you guys are a buncha squares, or do you fundamentally advocate monogamy over the sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle that other bands in the “scene” seem to be all about?
Dream Machine: We are on the cusp of a polar shift in thinking. We looked around only to observe that the way people are living today is not bringing them happiness but misery and emptiness. The group think mentality of social media is largely to blame; You stare into the screens long enough and you begin to lose perspective and your reality becomes warped. We aren’t classically religious, but if you pause and consider where we are going as a civilization, what the future might look like going down the neo-liberal path, it doesn’t look very good to us. It’s what I would envision the roman empire to have been like right before they got destroyed. Everyone becomes so glutinous and decadent and they are too busy guzzling wine and having orgies to care or notice that their civilization is crumbling all around them. We are reaching a point where radical neo-leftism has become the mainstream, and conservatism becomes the new counter-culture. Now it literally feels rebellious to be starting a family with my wife. We’ve come full circle.
Savage Hippie: All right, ENOUGH with political questions; let’s get down to the music. Why did you leave Warm Soda, and do you have plans on going back to them? I take it Dream Machine is a full time band and not a side project.
Dream Machine: Warm Soda had fully run it’s course. I mean once you make 4 albums that sounds almost exactly the same you know it’s time to try something different or you end up making wallpaper music. Dream Machine is our full time operation now and it’s already off to an interesting start!
Savage Hippie: Since the obvious reference points to a lot of people are going to be Iron Butterfly, Blue Cheer, the Doors and maybe Jefferson Airplane… would that cover it, or was there anything else specifically you were influenced by? I mean, I’d die if you said you were influenced by Power of Zeus or Black Widow.
Dream Machine: Our influences include Power of Zeus, Birth Control, Curved Air, Lucifer’s Friend, Eloy and Gun! (editors note: I had never before heard of the German progressive rock band Birth Control. Their album Operation is awesome! Thanks Matthew!)
Savage Hippie: Also I looked all over the site, but I couldn’t find out who the bassist and drummer are in the “I Walked in the Fire” video. Is that info somewhere, or are you keeping them anonymous?
Dream Machine: We had already let our band mates go before any of this controversy came up because we are moving to Europe and we found a new European rhythm section. Our bass player in the USA couldn’t commit to the European tour because of his job so we figured it made the most sense to start a new group over there.
Savage Hippie: In your interview you say, “The debut Dream Machine album is like a warm up compared to the 2nd album we are arranging now which is completely piano based.” What like, there aren’t going to be any geetarz on it? Don’t tell me you’re going to turn into Emerson, Lake and Palmer or the first Atomic Rooster LP!
Dream Machine: It’s got guitars, we just meant that we were writing the album mostly on the piano, not recording it that way. We are in the middle of it right now and there are some heavy rocking songs on there. Think if Atomic Rooster had one Hell’s Angel in the band on guitar. We just recorded the drums and bass for the whole thing, now starting to add in guitars, piano, organ, synth, vocals, etc. I think people will be happy with our new album, It definitely blows the first one away.
Can’t wait to hear it! \m/

Why Are People on the Left Obsessed with Balance?
book_stack_2.0In the aftermath of the Orlando shooting, I’ve lost a number of Facebook friends, including a couple of gay ones, who tried to pin the attack on the “Christian Right” or the precarious concept of “homophobia.” Anyone who isn’t completely retarded knows that the reason Omar Mateen opened fire on a bunch of gays in a gay club is because he’s a Muslim, and Muslims hate gays. He openly expressed ties to ISIS and acted exactly as his holy book told him to.
And, believe it or not, there ARE people on the left who completely agree that Islam is exactly what motivated Mateen. HOWEVER – and this is HUGE – leftists STILL feel the need to give a tit for tat rationalization for the event. In other words, even though this guy acted in the name of his whackadoodle death cult, according to leftists, Christians are JUST AS likely to act in the same way. And aren’t they correct? I mean, you have the Westboro Baptist church and this hilarious black preacher yelling about gays shooting fire out “they ass”, and you have the Crusades, and you have Timothy McVeigh and Dylann Roof and Christopher Harper-Mercer and Elliot Rodger; clearly, nutjobs come in all walks of life.
Except these arguments are all completely wrong. If Christians are JUST AS likely to commit the atrocities that Muslims commit, how come something like 30,000 of the last terrorist attacks since 9/11 have been linked to Islam? When is the last time a group of Christians flew planes into buildings, opened fire into gay clubs, raped a bunch of women on New Years Eve or blew up the Bataclan in France? And, last time I checked, the Crusades happened more than 700 years ago. Christians en masse don’t do that anymore.
And, for Timothy McVeigh, Dylann Roof, Christopher Harper-Mercer and Elliot Rodger, you literally have such a diverse motivation for their actions, that to find any pattern at all, other than that they’re crazy and should not have had access to the weapons they possessed, is completely disingenuous. McVeigh was a crazy militia guy who hated the government, Roof was racist, Harper-Mercer was sort of like a cross between McVeigh and Roof, only he was half black, and Rodger was pissed off that he was still virgin at 22, not to mention being half Asian.
Yet, I still have a Facebook friend who claims that Christianity’s influence, while not having the direct, “kill all the infidels” message of Islam, infiltrates more subliminally, commanding the McVeighs and Roofs of the world to kill people. I’m sorry, but that’s really dumb. That’s so dumb, that I wonder if this person is just saying it because he NEEDS to maintain the notion of balance, that “there’s assholes in every crowd”, or if he legitimately believes it.
He’s right about one thing. There certainly ARE assholes in every crowd. Nobody denies that. There are also good people in every crowd as well, including Islam. But individual circumstances or the “have you actually met a (fill in the blank) person before?” philosophy completely goes counter to the law of large numbers, which we have been using for centuries to figure out how to deal with different groups of people. Unfortunately the left, or rather the politically correct left, simply cannot fathom that some races, ethnic groups, sexes (and there’s only two) or religions are over or under represented in various walks of life simply because they are. Or maybe they secretly DO realize this, but don’t want to say so out loud.
I was talking to another friend of mine I told him that it’s not racist to blatantly say that black ghettos are dangerous and violent, more violent than the ghettos of any other group of people. His response to me was that poor, white trash areas are ALSO violent. Yeah, because statistically speaking, trailer parks are known for their crack gangs and drive by shootings, where little children are gunned down. It’s that denial that leftists wallow in just so they don’t have to confront the ugly reality that maybe some groups of people haven’t gotten their shit together.
I dare ask why a place, such as Ferndale, MI, which is right next door to a crime ‘n’ crack infested shithole like Detroit is almost entirely free of crime. I read that police officers were accused of stopping blacks and Latinos more often than anyone else for traffic violations. This means either that cops are overly mean to dark people or that dark people from Detroit are simply speeding more. Either way, considering how blacks are responsible for over 50% of homicides and make up only 13% of the population of the entire country, there IS a reason why they’re not bringing much of that violent crime over the Eight Mile Rd. divide, which separates Ferndale from Detroit. And I’m fairly it isn’t because of an invisible force field.
A couple of my friends also wanted to draw the direct parallel to college kids rioting whenever their football teams won or lost. Real smart there guys; last time I checked college football riots didn’t destroy entire communities and make business owners pack up shop when they collected their insurance checks and moved to other communities, ones less prone to self destruction. Another one of my friends drew a direct parallel between the Ferguson rioters with the group of bikers who caused a bunch of trouble last year, as if that too is a common occurrence. You see, numbers.
But, of course, actually saying any of that will get you branded as an evil, racist, neo-Nazi, poo-poo head.
Just like it will get you called a racist for complaining that Indians (dots, not feathers) bargain too much. A former QuickenLoans coworker who is Asian (Korean, I think) complained about this, that every time she hears “that accent”, she knows she’s going to have to be on the phone that much longer to try to hammer out a deal. She also told me that I’m not allowed to make this same observation because I’m white.
Or get you called anti-semitic for pointing out that nearly every major media outlet is owned and/or run by Jews; Jews like Steven Spielberg who make movies like Schindler’s List in order to shove heaping piles of guilt down everyone’s throat, as if most people who saw the film were ever involved with the Holocaust.
Or get you called a sexist pig for pointing out that the reason women only make $0.77 for every man’s dollar is because they choose easier professions that don’t pay as much along with working less hours. If every woman in the world stopped working, the only professions that would be greatly affected would be nursing and elementary school teaching. Yet, since women insist they’re equal to the men, they go through college, bust their asses AND… get mediocre office jobs that anybody could do. Or get bumped up to H.R. positions, so they can discriminate against men, mainly white men. Ever wonder why the staff at Huffington Post is ALL women? Yeah, me neither.
But, wait, isn’t women’s soccer more popular than men’s soccer? Shouldn’t THEY be making as much as the men. First of all, no, it’s not, and, second of all, how much they make is up to whoever THEY negotiate deals with. For the women’s soccer league to demand as much money as the men’s is the same as people who work at Walmart complaining that they don’t make as much as the people at Meijer. Why is it Meijer’s responsibility to make sure Walmart employees are paid more? It makes no sense; but, it makes good propaganda!
So, what gives, eh? I don’t freakin’ know. Since nowadays you can choose what race, sex, ethnicity or species of animal you want to be, there’s no reason to complain about inequality at all.
I Do Wanna go Back 50 Years and Do It Over.
me_pet_sounds_paper_backsI was discussing with my coworker whether, if it were 50 years ago, I would be into the music of the day. My guess is most likely not. I would imagine that a 32 year old version of me back in 1966 would have been married with a couple of kids, working a standard or above standard job, living in a nice house and buying my kids the paperback books you see me holding in the picture. After all, if we’re going by what the culture was like back then, I probably would have outgrown “popular music” by, I dunno, 1952 at age 18 and focused entirely on either getting a career or going to college, back when having a college degree actually mattered. The only reason I’m bringing all of this up is because I saw a Facebook post reminding me that the legendary Beach Boys album, Pet Sounds, was released 50 years ago, and it got me thinking about how art, culture and society have evolved/devolved in half a century. So, let’s start with the topic I know the most about.
1966 is probably the most important year for rock ‘n’ roll. The album took precedence over the single, and many of the most important albums were released that year. Rock showed the establishment that it too could be taken seriously as a form of art. Older, established bands were no longer content to just entertain an audience; now they were officially “artists.”
On Revolver the Beatles experimented with Eastern, Sitar sounds (“Love You To”) and backwards, psychedelic tape effects (“Tomorrow Never Knows”). On Aftermath, the Rolling Stones threw in baroque arrangements into “Lady Jane” and also used Eastern influences on both “Paint It Black” and “Mother’s Little Helper” – the former on the American version of Aftermath, and the latter on the European version. And on their album, A Quick One, the Who performed the first “rock opera” (nine minute “A Quick One While He’s Away”). On top of that, there were all of these wonderful, unique and creative albums from new bands; Black Monk Time by the Monks, The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators by the 13th Floor Elevators, Freak Out! by Frank Zappa and his Mothers of Invention and both The Seeds and A Web of Sound by the Seeds, just to name a few.
One could say it was a gosh darned renaissance in pop music! New ideas, new drugs, new open sexuality – the world was throwing off the shackles of the previous generation. However, one album stands out among all of the other classics of ’66 for what sounds like a lamentation of all this “moving forward” that society was doing. Okay, you could talk about how the Kinks sang about the loss of the old way of life to modernity, but for the sake of argument and because they’re British, let’s ignore them and focus on the album I’m holding in the picture: Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys.
If I’m not mistaken, most hipster people don’t think much of the Beach Boys because the group’s early surfin’, cruisin’, drag racin’ and tail chasin’ (okay, that last one was a bit of an exaggeration since their songs are pretty wholesome) world view reflected a macho, retrograde, capitalist, consumerist and all American culture that these days is all but a quaint memory. That’s probably why the only Beach Boys album any of them seem to talk about is Pet Sounds. And, I’m assuming that has more to do with Mike Love’s experimentation with orchestral flourishes, than what the group was singing about. We want to turn on, tune in and drop out, and you’re singing songs about marriage?
When did the 60s actually start? Well, obviously 1960, but 1960 was really no different than 1959. We didn’t see any real spike in cultural upheaval until a few years after that. As far as I’m concerned, the 1960s that Dennis Hopper says you weren’t in if you claim to remember it didn’t really begin until 1966. Sure Kennedy’s assassination in 1963 put a damper on America’s soul, the 1964 Civil Rights Act rearranged how private businesses were allowed to operate, the 1965 Hart-Celler act fundamentally changed the American demographic from majority white to god knows what from god knows where and the 1965 Watts Riots led to the start of white flight from major cities to their neighboring suburbs, but a couple performances by some British rock bands on American TV in 1964 and 1965 didn’t exactly represent a rapidly shifting cultural zeitgeist as many would like to think. In fact, if the clip that I saw of a couple of young people complaining about Jim Morrison’s onstage social/political rants are any indication, there were plenty of people from that era who viewed mainstream rock and pop music as nothing more than entertainment.
The true cultural shift began to manifest in about 1966. Hollywood studios “broke the code” by releasing movies like Mike Nichols’ Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, with blatant references to “humping”, and the Michelangelo Antonioni film Blow-Up, which has a bunch of nudity in it because, like, nudity is cool. Anton LaVey launched his Church of Satan because traditional religions are for the birds. Bra-burning feminists hit the scene. Black Panthers began to patrol the streets of major cities. The kids were being told to not trust anyone over 30. Hair was getting longer, sex was getting looser, movies were getting smuttier, music was getting druggier and American society was embroiled in one of the biggest cultural wars it had ever faced since, I dunno, the Civil War?
angry_bikersAnd so, it’s 50 years later. I’m a HUGE fan of pop-cultural ephemera, music, films, magazines and books from the 60s. I wonder if it’s possible for all of this stuff to exist if the culture hadn’t taken such a massive nose dive; would there even all these cool sexploitation films and biker films and John Waters films and Satanic films and women in prison films and excessively violent Spaghetti Westerns if there wasn’t a society to reflect off of? Granted, the gangster and crime pictures of the 30s through the 50s were already reflecting the darker side of American culture, and of course there were horror movies. Companies like American International made sensational movies like Teenage DollThe Wild Angels and The Trip so that the average Joe could experience “the other side” without having to join a gang, get into a violent brawl or drop a hit of acid himself.
When all was said and done, the majority of people didn’t participate in the lunacy and cultural degeneracy of the 1960s; they worked jobs, got married and had kids. The ones that were part of the counterculture either became burnouts or were absorbed into academia and various parts of government, taking their views with them and forcing them onto future generations.
I’m sure many of the geriatric counterculture types who were alive in the 60s would never have guessed that we would have men in women’s clothing trying to use women’s restrooms or girls excusing their sluttiness with such clever labels as “polyamerous.” The craziest yippie, hippie, degenerate freak of the 60s never would have even considered gay marriage a possibility. Many “freaks” I talk to, who were around back then, still love the music, but now have way more conservative views. Yes, these were degenerate freaks; but they were mostly heterosexual, degenerate freaks.
And so we have the first verse of “Wouldn’t It Be Nice”, the opening track on Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys:
wouldn’t it be nice if we were older
then we wouldn’t have to wait so long
and wouldn’t it be nice to live together
in the kind of world where we belong
you know it’s going to make it that much better
when we could say good night and stay together
Can you imagine such an antiquated notion as asking someone to marry you marketed to the kids of today? Forget the kids; what about the 36 year old sluts who are getting pumped and dumped for the umpteenth time by some guy in his early 30s, who doesn’t want to commit to an over the hill broad that still thinks of herself as top shelf in the sexual market place?
Jesus, don’t even bother with these lines:
Baby then there wouldn’t be a single thing we couldn’t do
We could be married
And then we’d be happy
Praying?! Why that sounds like something those stupid Christians do! Pet Sounds came out 50 years ago right about the time the culture was “changing.” We’re now seeing a mirror image of the 1960s. The hippies, radical feminists and Black Panthers have been replaced by Occupy Wall Street, “free the nipple” feminists and Black Lives Matter thugs, and, with the ascendancy of Donald Trump, the growing discontent of the American worker, the trend in single motherhood, increasing inner city crime, the desire to end trade agreements, overbearing political correctness and a stronger nationalist sentiment, I have a feeling the next generation may be clamoring for a reversal of 50 years of “progress.”
And what point is that you ask?
Let’s Raise a Toast to John Wayne!
How I Became a Trump-Supporting, Alt-Right, Punk Rock Jew
leather_jacket_t_shirtLast weekend, a black woman called me a “honky.” No, let me clarify; she didn’t directly call ME a honky; she asked if, when I get up to do drunken karaoke at Detroit’s Majestic Theater lounge area (alternately referred to as the Garden Bowl), I was going to sing “some honky music.” So, naturally I sang “Straight Outta Compton” and said the word “nigga” a bunch of times in front of black people because I’m edgy.
Just kidding, I sang “I Saw Her Standing There” by the Beatles and Ms. “Are You Going to Sing a Honky Song” joined me in a duet after I gave her $5 to get me a whiskey shot mixed with diet coke; I let her handle the part at the end of every line where John Lennon goes “miiiiine.” This was prior to going next door to see Peter and the Test Tube Babies, a British skinhead punk band from the early 80s. I invited my newly made black female friend to join me towards the end when they stopped taking money at the door. I also reminded her how she called this “honky music.” She giggled and said, “I betcha refer to us as niggers and think we listen to ‘nigger music.'” Somewhat surprised, I said “Uh, no, I don’t go around referring to black people or anyone as ‘niggers.'” (which is true, although I did call a Muslim “Muzzie” once). I also didn’t tell her that I’m a Jew – NOT because I’m ashamed to admit that I AM one, since I do that ALL THE TIME – but because I didn’t want to play the whole, “it’s okay to insult the massa ‘white people’, but did you know that I fit into a so called minority group that was ALSO oppressed by ‘white people’?” I’ll leave that up to Brian, the self-hating, liberal, punk rock Jew.
Nope, I was going to at least make her acknowledge that, in spite what the media tells you, we “honkies” aren’t your enemy and that it’s no more okay to call me a honky, than it would be for me to call you a nigger.
The irony of all this is that, at the same show, my former buddy Nick, the “half gay” “SHARP Skinhead” (If you didn’t feel like clicking on the link, SHARP is an acronym for “skinheads against racial prejudice.”) made it clear that, though he could shoot the shit about the merchandise at the table, we could in NO WAY be associated as friends because I’m officially racist™ and sexist™.
I don’t even USE terms like “racist”, “sexist”, “misogynistic”, “homophobic” or “anti-semitic” anymore, aside from when I’m trying to talk to a liberal in his/her/its language; I’ve never used “Islamophobic”, since it’s a completely fabricated word, which implies that saying negative things about the religion of Allah, no matter how racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic or anti-semitic it may be, is a no-no. But, in Nick’s eyes, I might as well be Nazi Chuck. That’s right; in the binary world of the SJW – and that’s what you are, Nick, you fag wannabe – my pointing out incontrovertible truths about how blacks commit more violent crimes than any other group, how black on white crime outnumbers white on black crime, how the #blacklivesmatter movement is made up of nothing but leftist agitators who don’t actually care about black lives killed in drive by shootings, how Islam is a violent death cult or how women are not oppressed in Western societies puts me in the same exact class as a card carrying Nazi Skinhead.
So, then, the question is, what brought me to the unapologetic, Caucasian defending, multiculturalism bashing world of the Alternative Right? In the words of the sound sample at the beginning of the first track on the White Zombie album Astro-Creep 2000, perhaps we’d better start from the beginning…
Growing up in an upper middle class neighborhood is fine and easy, but being bullied for being a nerdy, booger eating, comic book and action figure loving fatso gave me the thickest skin ever. You couldn’t insult me to save you life; call me a kike, hebe or part of the hooknose cabal, tell me how all Jews should be shoved in an oven or how Jews all run the media and want to enslave the rest of the humanity with debt and you couldn’t get a reaction out of me other than a smirk or a shrug. In fact the only thing that ever really got a rise out of me was when people made fun of my male pattern baldness; that was until a cute girl fucked me and told me that, for the most part, going bald doesn’t matter.
At 14 I had discovered my “identity” when I heard the Misfits and became a punk rocker or punk rock fan for life (actually I’m more of a music geek who’s into all types of weird shit, but let’s just go with “punk rocker” for the sake of this article). In addition to delving into the “real” punk bands, such as the Ramones, Sex Pistols, Saints, Stranglers, Stooges, New York Dolls, Dead Kennedys, Dead Boys and Black Flag (oh, I could name thousands of others, but I think you get the point), I was also into the most obnoxious, gross, tasteless and offensive bands I could find. I loved the bejeezus out of the Meatmen, Gwar, the MentorsGG Allin, the Dwarves and of course Anal Cunt, the only band who, to this day, has never said, “it’s all a joke”, in spite having side splitting song titles such as “I Sent Concentration Camp Footage to America’s Funniest Home Videos”, “Woman: Nature’s Punching Bag” and “The Word Homophobic Is Gay.”
I also didn’t really have a problem with the Black Flag song “White Minority”, which they want to claim is “ironic” (sure…), Minor Threat’s “Guilty of Being White”, the anti-welfare screed “Public Assistance” by Agnostic Front (actually the vocals kinda suck on that song), the pro-Republican ra-ra chant of “California Pipeline” by Murphy’s Law, the blatantly nationalistic “U.S.A. for U.S.A.” by Carnivore, the similarly nationalistic “Bomb the Russians” by Fear or the Type O Negative songs “Der Untermensch” and “Kill All the White People”, which IS ironic and funny!
As you can imagine, I enjoyed pissing people off. HOWEVER, there was one, big, stupid, hypocritical catch to this. Bands can write all the stupid, hateful lyrics they want as long as they’re not REALLY “racist”, “sexist” or “homophobic.” Of course, in the world of punk rock, the “real” racists were big, linebacker built Nazi Skinheads, and with Detroit’s racial makeup, you could reasonably expect an equally fierce reaction to the slummy conditions of majority black neighborhoods and increasing black crime; Detroit Nazi Skinhead are NOT posers that are out to shock their friends and families. Several members of the Detroit based band Angry Aryans either served or are serving prison sentences. I saw a whole bunch of them doing Nazi salutes at a Danzig gig. I saw a guy get beaten down for wearing dread locks and white laces in his Doc Martens. I saw a couple of ugly situations where known anti-racist, pro-antifa bands Napalm Death and G.B.H. played at Harpos and Nazi Skinheads tried to ruin both shows by beating up on audience members. It was a real mess back then.
Little did I realize back then that, these thug, shitheads were sociopaths at best or just dumb losers with nothing going in their lives at worst. Many would end up in prison soon enough. Of course some are completely reformed and I’ve talked to a couple who were flabbergasted to hear a Jew says he’s okay with the 14 part, just not the 88 part. Just ask Wendy! She told this one old skinhead guy, “Edwin’s really right wing, and he’s a Jew”, to which baldy said, “isn’t that an oxymoron?”
After going to college, I saw how much the zeitgeist had changed, how thanks to the cultural Marxist takeover of punk rock, the definition of what constituted “sexist”, “racist” and “homophobic” became narrower and narrower. For instance, in the Dead Kennedys song “Religious Vomit”, Jello Biafra says “All religions make me wanna throw up/all religions make me sick”, yet he has never once protested the most hateful religion of them all, Islam. In fact the only band from the leftist/anarchist punk world that has had the guts to say anything about Islam is Conflict, who wrote the song “An Option”, in which they suggest not granting sanctuary to immigrants from Muslim countries. I asked a left wing punk buddy if he found the song to be racist, and unsurprisingly he did.
Hypocritical leftists – “atheists” who only attack meek Christians, feminists who only attack straight, white men, but refuse to acknowledge the real rape culture of the Muslim world, SJWs of all shapes and sizes – might explain why I became more right leaning in my views, but having conservative views is not the same as claiming support for the controversial Alternative Right.
Although Gavin McInnes did a superb job with his “guide to the right for dummies”, I think a more accurate way of looking at the right is like this:
Mainstream Right: Center right channels like Fox news and magazine such as National Review count as this. To AltRighters, these would be called “cuckservative” outlets. They extol the virtues of capitalism, strong national defense, free speech and 2nd amendment rights, they question the global warming/climate change narrative, but then take every precaution possible to not be called racist as if getting tagged with the scarlet “R” is worse than being a rapist (to SJWs, it really is), and you’ll never find any real discussion about how to quell illegal immigration. They can’t stand Donald Trump for the most part – Greg Gutfeld, I’m ashamed of you! – and fire writers and contributors who they think “crossed the line”, such as John Derbyshire. When pundits at Fox discuss Islamic terror, they won’t actually say the problem IS Islam.
Edgy Right: These would be commentators like Steve Crowder, Lauren Southern, Milo Yiannopoulos, Ben Shapiro, Bill Whittle, websites like and Rebel Media and radio show hosts like Mike Savage and Mark Levin. They don’t pull punches in telling you that there is no white privilege, that the Islamic religion is not one of peace, that multiculturalism hasn’t lived up to its promises and they give tacit approval for Donald Trump (except for Ben Shapiro, who seems to enjoy bashing Trump any chance he gets), while also touching on all the other right wing talking points. People on the left call them “racist” all the time, yet they themselves make absolutely sure that you know they don’t support the “real racists.” They too get called “cuckservatives” from time to time for reasons among which include not fully admitting that the reason places like Detroit and Baltimore are shitholes is not because of unions, but because black ghettos are fucking violent.
Alternative Right: These would be websites like Takimag, VDARE, AlternativeRight (obviously), Return of Kings and commentators such as Richard Spencer, Jared Taylor, John Derbyshire, Matt Forney, RamZPaul, Bernard Chapin, RockinMrE and Roosh V. They just say what they want with no thought given whatsoever to who it might offend. Some identify themselves as race realists, some identify as white nationalists, some identify as just American nationalists and some don’t identify with any group, but are just into “telling it like it is.” One week I’ll agree with Jim Goad on this article about black reparations, then the following week, I’ll have to take it on the chin and read about how the story of Israel isn’t the rosy picture that Tea Party conservative commentators like Bill Whittle claim it to be. Or how I’ll agree with a lot of what Roosh V says about feminists and liberals at Return of Kings, only to be delighted with this review of Kevin McDonald’s book The Culture of Critique, which I’m not necessarily opposed to reading. And the cool thing is, because there is no thoughtcrime, these guys often don’t agree with each other. One perfect example is how John Derbyshire, who got fired from National Review for writing this article, which, shall we say, doesn’t speak too highly of black people on a whole, believes that Kevin McDonald is a little too obsessed with his dislike of Jews.
Sometimes it’s a relief reading posts from Gavin McInnes, Kathy Shaidle or David Cole; they’re the slightly more “PC” ones at Takimag. I can read their articles and say, “whew, this one won’t mention how Jews own 61% of the media.” Vice magazine creator Gavin is the only “crossover” that I know of, often appearing on Greg Gutfeld’s show. I sometimes joke about attempting to ruin Gutfeld’s career by spilling the beans that Gutfeld associates with the writer of a “hate site.”
Websites like AlternativeRight, Return of Kings, The Right Stuff and The Daily Shoah have already been registered under the SPLC as “hate sites.” But, what really strikes me about these sites is that they’re not your standard issue white supremacist™, “gas the kikes”, David Duke fodder like For instance, I have never read a white nationalist article before that was also pro-Israel. I never, in my life, thought I’d be listening to something called The Daily Shoah. But, if I’m going to be 100% honest and set ideology aside, 1. it’s actually a pretty funny title, 2. the people who talk on it are intelligent and knowledgeable and 3. they took the retarded “Are You a Nazi Quiz” from the, where it erroneously compares conservative views with Nazi ones to imply that conservatives are no different than the followers of the Third Reich, and they completely skewer it. I was on the floor laughing. I believe I referred to me and my fellow Jews as the “hooknose cabal” for an entire week. One of the guys at The Daily Shoah even said, “if I HAD to choose between kikes and sand niggers, I’d choose the kikes.” Thanks, bro, that means a lot!
The bottom line is that the Alternative Right takes the narrative away from the left. It takes the notion of the ad hominem attack that the left is so good at using, locks it in a closet and tortures it to death as it screams for its safe space. | https://savagehippie.com/category/culture-war/ | dclm-gs1-269790011 | false | true | {

The Man Who Swam To St. John (Emancipation Day)
By Scott Fagan
In 1985 Shaky Acres (the recovery program that Tuts and I had started in 1981) was going along fairly well, but was in need of a fund-raiser or two. Tuts heard (along with everyone else) of a proposed St. John swim (everybody heard of it because it was considered impossible by most folks, and suicidaly dangerous by local folks who knew that there were sharks, starvin’ hungry sharks, out there the size of the battleship “Bismarck”). The UDT (The Frogmen, The Navy Seals, The toughest hombres on or under the sea) while training for many years in St. Thomas, had given up on swimming to St. John because it was simply too crazy and dangerous a deed.
The well-intentioned local lady legislator who had proposed “the swim” was unaware of the deep and dark difficulties inherent in the “big fun fundraiser”
When Tutsie was a young boy, riding back across Sir Francis Drake’s Passage coming home with his Mother from a harvest festival in Cane Garden bay in Tortola, he looked out from the deck of “The Joan Of Arc” or “The Bomba Charger” at Pillsbury Sound (The five-mile stretch of wild water that separates St. Thomas and St. John) he said to her “I cou’ swim ‘crass dat yu kno” His usually gentle and loving mother, scared to death by what she was hearing, tried to discourage this crazy idea once and for all by replying “Man hush up yu schupid mout, why yu like tu talk such schupid craziness?” Tuts didn’t see any reason to discuss it any further, but, he says, the conviction that he could do it, was locked in his mind for ever after.
It was July the third, 1985, Emancipation Day in The Virgin Islands. (Emancipation Day is the day in 1849, on which it became official that the slaves in the Danish West Indies had won their freedom and were now and forever more free) Freedom was a long time coming for the children of Africa in the DWI, and very hard-won, as was Tut’s own personal freedom from drugs and alcohol.
There were forty eight entrants all together, most of them young white kids from the hot-shot St. Croix “Dolphins Swim Team”, they came prepared and ready to succeed, with sleek buoyant body suits, well fitted goggles and the best fins that money could buy
A number of the St. Thomas swimmers, were runners down from the states, budding tri-athletes, an elderly white gent determined to show his wife he still “had it” and half a hand full of locals with a mismatched assortment of masks and fins..
Tuts on the other hand was wearing one pair of big and baggy boxer trunks, y nada mas…
As the other swimmers did warm ups and calisthenics on the sand at Vessup bay, Red Hook, a tough old Tortola sailor, pulled Tuts aside and said” Buaayyy yu, yu crazy buaay? Yuh following de damn schupid white people dem? Yuh don kno de real name fo red hook is shak waff? Buaayy!! Shak ow de biggah den uh submarine! Yu is a black man gon follow dem schupidy white people? Buaayy wha rang wid yuh, yuh crazy o something?”
Tuts concedes that the strongly delivered warning did cause him much concern, but that he had already told everybody over and again that he was going to do it, told them in the strongest terms, in the face of the harshest ridicule. It was common knowledge that no (sane) black person from the Islands could ever, should ever and would ever attempt to make that swim. Therefore, as his sanity was in question, it was also a crucial moment for recovery in the Islands.
At this moment he was demonstrating clearly (to local folks) that local people who went to fellowship meetings “wid de crazy white people dem” were demonstrably nuts (just like they thought) and for him to chicken out before he even hit the water would have sealed it once and for all. Tuts has since confessed that on that particular morning he had decided that he would rather be eaten alive, than quit.
Once the old Tortola man realized that he was not talking to a sensible gentleman of color, he began to encourage him with information about what to expect in terms of currents and where to find what he called “soft spots” in the sea. He stated flatly that “yuh can’t swim directly East ta St. John, yuh have tu swim for “Loango” (Loango Key, a small Island East North East of St. John) and as yuh hold Loango as your goal, the current will be sweepin’ yuh south, look sharp! Buaay, dat is de onliest way to get dare”.
As the swim began, the fast and the fancy took off due East for Cruz bay and before you knew it half of them had been swept away and were heading backwards around Cabrita Point towards Big and Little St. James, then out over the Anegada Trench, (The deepest trench in the Caribbean, on the bottom of which the scariest bug eyed things on earth, with jumping, wiggling electro “bait worms” dangling in front of foot long razor teeth, swim around four miles down, snapping steel trap jaws, and saying fish prayers, to get their dribbly lips around something, anything, soaked and slathered in coconut oil, or greasy mango scented sun tan lotion) and then south and west for St Croix, Puerto Rico, Santo Domingo, Haiti, The Caymans, The Isle of Pines Cuba, and New Orleans. (of course by the time they got to New Orleans there would be nothing left of them but a Speedo tag and whatever plastics they’d swallowed along the way) needless to say, an armada of rescue boats started pulling people in over the gunnels, like langustas on parade, on a fish pot Saturday night.
Tuts was heading for Loango .
Shortly after the fast and the fancy fiasco, the old white gent’s wife, standing in his rescue boat started screaming hysterically “A Shark! A Shark! Oh my God, I see a Shark!” Pull my husband out, pull my husband out, pull him out right now!! Oh my GOD! Pull my husband out right now!
Tuts says the poor old gent was utterly dejected as they pulled him up, his bathing suit drooping below his pale old, pink old, shiny old hiney.
Next went the dapper sharply outfitted “high color” attorney from the states, who had looked most disdainfully upon our man’s baggy boxers and boney bare feet but was now being dragged, thoroughly defeated, flat on his back from the sea to flat on his back on the bottom of the heaving boat.
The boats were heaving now because the seas were heaving now, they were coming into “The Big Blue”. A section of the sound a mile or more wide, in which, or perhaps I ought to say, through which, big serioso, fast moving, megalo mountains of Big Blue Heavy Water Waves (Waves of the sort that make you say “Good Lord” or “Mama Mia” or “Holy Freakin’ Toledo” when you first see them even though you (if you have good sense) are looking at them from your perch on the deck of a big passenger ferry, ten or fifteen feet above the water line.
If you are in the water “down in the hollow” splashing along on your belly and craning your neck up trying to see the top of the wave, you will probably say a lot more than good lord, and if you are Tutsie and your rescue boat is manned by one “Fisherman John” a continental dipso juicehead, that you recently helped to drag off the junk heap of life, but now haven’t seen for over half an hour, most of it will not be printable in a general audience mem.wha? such as this one. But you can believe me when I say, you have probably never heard anything like it.
Eventually, Tuts discovered that if he swam like crazy faster and faster as he got closer and closer to the top and he could then flip over to his back at just the last second the wave would crest and the curl would break over his shoulders. He could “hang there” for seconds, (perhaps one or two of the longest this side of eternity,) and contemplate his mounting misery and helplessness before having to roll over and slide headfirst down down down, ah..down down down, ah down down down, down. (Knowing that some thing is surely waiting in the “trough” to open its porky yaw and scrape the heck out of your back, belly and sides as it swallows you whole)
As I may have mentioned casually a short while ago, this section of the sound was just a splash over a mile or more wide, can you guess how many times your whole life can flash before your eyes before you get completely bored with it?
What you don’t get bored with is the fact that you cannot see either Island or for that matter any thing at all when you are down in the valley, nothing but deep dark blue. So the desperate hope that you might be able to see something, anything, hinting at where you are, (is it Puerto Rico? Is it Berlin?) at the top of the next wave is a powerful draw, and can keep you going for many a repetition.
One time he did see some thing recognizable back on St.Thomas, it was the two super poles that mark the spot where the undersea cable goes down beneath the sea. way down to the bottom, that’s the bottom way way down in the pitch black darkness beneath his own bottom. Better to see nothing he thought, than things as scary as that.
Pretty soon his primary concern had shifted from monstroso seas, to waves slapping him in the face, slap slap slap slap and he realized that he was in a different kind of swim now, the big blue was behind him, and he was battling offshore currents, lucky he had gone for Loango, because now, in spite of his forward motion he was being swept sideways, southward towards “Stephens Key”, a small flat island outside of the Bay of Cruz Bay or Cruz Bay Bay, comprende?
Tuts knew that if he allowed himself to be swept southward beyond Stephens Key, he would be out in the Anegada Trench, and then as likely as not his rescuers would be the Venezuelan Navy. He determined that he had to get to and make it through the spiffy currents around Stephens Key
If the current was running in his favor it could be a breeze, he was exhausted, but just on the inside of Stephens Key was the outer entrance to Cruz Bay. He was almost, almost there.
Alas, the current was not in his favor (unless he wanted to turn around and “go with the flow” back to the “Cabrita express” and the afore-mentioned many points beyond) and this part of the swim took everything but the very best of him. The very best of him was all that kept him kicking; the current was so strong that the surface water was rippling backwards in protest. That’s when the “water under water” is moving too fast for the water “on the water” to keep up, so the surface ripples backwards in tiny little cascades of confusion, all of which seemed to be going right up his nose, and down his throat.
They say that the children of Africa can’t swim. My friend Tutsie has proved time and again, that that is a racist lie, or put another way, demonstrably untrue. Although it is true that Tutsie’s Mother, Miss Meu, born in Dominica, was one half Carib. And although the present effort of the Carib/Arawak Federation is to dispel the myth that they say King Charles of Spain used to promulgate and excuse the genocide of the indigenous Peoples of the Caribbean, specifically, that the Caribs were so wild and savage that they ate people, there is no question that the Caribs were and are among the toughest of the toughest human beings that have ever lived. So our man, three quarters African, One quarter Carib (with a smitter smatter of French and, British, both in the African part of the pie) is lying all but dead in the water, having just burst through the impassable current hole at Stephen’s Rock.
Tuts aka “El Toro” aka “Peperino” aka Skarpy aka “The Rabbi” (that’s another story) aka a hundred other desperado descriptors, is ready to give it up. If only he had the strength to raise his arm to signal surrender or the voice to beg to be dragged out of the sea, he would have done so. But just then the cheerful voice of Fisherman John came sing-songing across the water, “Make it look pretty Tuts! Make it look pretty! We’re almost there man!, Make it look pretty!!!.
Some day I’ll build a statue at Cabrita Point to Victor Antonius “Tutsie” “El Toro” Edwards, one portraying a skinny little mahogany or Brass hued dude in baggy boxers, tilting forward on one leg, the other angled up and out behind, with hands clasped (as in prayer) just above his head, Poised to dive into history.
Tuts became that day the first native Virgin Islander to EVER in all time, swim from St. Thomas to St. John.
It wasn’t pretty as he crawled and dragged himself ashore (water streaming from every orifice), and it wasn’t pretty as he collapsed on the sand, unable to stand for a full three minutes. But in his defense, he was forty freakin’ years old and working with a body that had been ravaged by drugs and alcohol.
The kids on the Dolphin swim team have much to be proud of, they did in their wetsuits, fins and organized swim formations, what the rough and tough UDT had given up on, they made the swim.
I know that where ever these kids are in the world, and where ever they will go, they will always remember that “once upon a time, when we were kids in the islands, my friends and me did the impossible together” they will also remember with awe and admiration “that skinny little fellow in the baggy boxer trunks” that did it alone and bare footed, and then, passed on the champagne and praise, because “that’s not why he was there”.
Tutsie made the swim because it was Emancipation Day, and he wanted to demonstrate and celebrate freedom, he wanted to demonstrate freedom from fear of the sea and the ignorant idea that “Black people can’t swim” He wanted to demonstrate that “recovery is macho” and that black people now need to be emancipated from the chemical slavery that is alcoholism and addiction, and because even though she was long gone, he wanted his mother to know that he could do, what he said he could do, and now it was time to go home… And oh yeah, he did it for Shaky Acres.
Of course we were celebrating Tutsie long before we started Shaky Acres and he swam to St. John. I first recorded “Tutsie” for BANG Records in 1965, (we wore it out on the Juke box at Duffys) and then again for RCA in 1975 as La Biega Carosuel/Tutsie. If you listen closely to this more recent recording (You will find Tutsie’s song “la Biega Carousel” here. La Beiga Carousel/Tutsie ( made in St. Thomas in 2005) you’ll hear our friends Jeff Medina, Morgan Rael, Lennie Monsanto, Richard Spencley, Cliff Finch, and Robbie Roberts, strummin’ and bangin’ out the groove and the beautiful ”Of GOD” and Mighty Whitey and April Moran on the choruses.

The Breakfast Club
So let's talk about the debate for a second before we get paid news what were your thoughts? I. Mean I enjoyed it is. Is this amazing to me that the vice presidents who debate comes off his more presidential than actual? Got It. You know what? I'm saying I presidential debate with more presidential. Presidential debate you know what? I mean like either one of those people on stage last night with make a better president than than the one we have now, which isn't saying much but but I also feel like last night represented like the future and the past like I just think old white male leadership is dead and when you watch it on TV, you can just see the clear contrast like it's time to let a black woman lead country the same way black we wouldn't have been leading our lives forever at least mine. Yeah. I would say I would say that I I would also say that pence surprise me. I thought he was going to get washed I don't think he got washed last night I'm going to get washed Iowa surprise with his rebuttals. I was surprised the way he spoke I was surprised the way he drove home. really surprise I didn't like the moderator I. I think the moderator allow pets to talk all over my I felt like what you just like the old white man just was able to do what he wanted to the white man white man when commonly Harris was speaking she was. She was like just let this just talk for three minutes. You can't give me fifteen seconds but I didn't lie too hard on the moderator though I think too hard on the modern make often like we need to cut the mic he kept going Bro I. Yeah. But that's what I'm saying like, what do you do in a situation like that? If you had a moderated and you're trying to direct traffic in this white man just talking over you just like the other way talk over Chris Wallace last week what he's was different when commonly went over her time like she stopped. She stopped. Stopped might she tried to stop Mike Pence? Vice President Vice President. He didn't act like he heard he just kept exactly because he the white man white man comma was Carmello was being resp- still trying to be respected she's trying to. Toronto follow a rule that she was trying to be respectful. Even though she no, she was getting hard time taken away from her she was still trying to be respectful. Was You know she got? She got she got something that might pence doesn't have and that's I would say integrity and respect for others. I pinch.

I admittedly haven’t gotten much GGK into my system, as I only started reading his work later on in my life (I know!), but I’ve been planning to shove as much of it into my brain as possible, so when this popped up on NetGalley, I jumped on it.
So, thanks to the author as well as Berkley via NetGalley for the review copy.
Danio’s fate changed the moment he saw and recognized Adria Ripoli as she entered the count’s chambers one autumn night–intending to kill. Born to power, Adria had chosen, instead of a life of comfort, one of danger–and freedom. Which is how she encounters Danio in a perilous time and place.
As this book is by GGK, it goes without saying that it is beautiful. But I have to say it anyway: goddamn this is a beautiful book. This review isn’t going to be as eloquent as others you’ll see for it. I am finding it rather difficult to even get words together for my thoughts on it that aren’t just ‘breathtakingly beautiful’ over and over. So it goes. The Lions of Al-Rassan is the only other Kay book that I’ve read up until now, and I wasn’t really expecting to latch on to the very next I read like I did Lions… but here we are. They’re about even.
This story takes place in what is… more or less Italy in the 15th or so century, and it follows Guidanio Cerra, who is the son of a tailor who still nonetheless finds himself being allowed to study at a rather prestigious school. After that, he takes a job in the court of a duke, known as The Beast, and one night recognizes Adria Ripoli, the daughter of a powerful Duke as she enters The Beast’s rooms with every intention of assassinating him. She succeeds, but gets injured along the way. Danio helps her escape the castle. This won’t be the last time they meet, but it is the first. The story unfolds around Danio, and encompasses many people, but mainly two mercenary commanders who have had a long standing rivalry with each other, Folco Cino D’Acorsi and Teobaldo Monticola di Remigio.
As I said, this is a beautifully written story, and once I sat down with it, I couldn’t stop reading it until well into the wee hours of the morning. Kay’s prose is absolutely gorgeous, for a start, and the way it forms a story slowly but so intricately really puts the comparisons of Kay’s work to tapestries into perspective. It really is rather like having a story woven into a tapestry around you. The characters were so well built that I was emoting hard for them right from the start. Even characters that didn’t show up quite as often, such as the healer Jelena, or the rich and rather frivolous nobleman Antenami Sardi were so well written even in their comparatively brief appearances that they seemed to just emerge fully-formed into the story whenever needed.
We want to sink into the tale, leave our own lives behind, find lives to encounter, even to enter for a time. We can resist being reminded of the artificer, the craft. We want to be immersed, lost, not remember what it is we are doing, having done to us, as we turn pages, look at a painting, hear a song, watch a dance. Still, that is what is being done to us. It is. Even so… we do turn the page, and can be lost again.
So all told, this book was amazing. It was beautiful and rich. It was evocative and thought-provoking. It was tear-jerking and smile-inducing. In short, it was a masterpiece. GGK is a Canadian national treasure. Since he has already been given the Order of Canada, which is our highest civilian honor, we should knight him, or give him a Tim Horton’s gift card or something. Everyone loves gift cards, right? 🇨🇦

We are trying to develop a solution that reads tables from emails, the solution works fine when the tables are small but if the table has a lot of columns, the solution does not retrieve all the data from the table.
We tested in FlexiLayout an example of an email that contains a table with a lot of columns and we noticed that for such an example, the recognized page contains only a part of the table that respects the borders of a vertical page (normal page) and not the whole page that looks like a horizontal page.
My question is: how can I make Flexicapture take horizontal pages into account and treat them the same as normal pages?
Thank you!

Not sure what you mean by this. Are you saying the page is not in the correct orientation? maybe a screenshot would help. If its not in the correct orientation, you can set the DocDef for autorotation.

Iverson. Its central datatype is the multidimensional array. It uses a large range of special graphic symbols to represent functions and operators, leading to very concise code. It has been an important influence on the development of concept modeling, spreadsheets, functional programming, and computer math packages. It has thus been used in several applications and is still used today for certain applications.
Topics are
• Variables and Functions (Transport)
• APL2 and Dyalog APL
• Statistical Problems of Wage Equality
• The group meets 4 times a year for the “APL Laboratory” focus groups.
Further details on the membership fees (discounts, collective membership, etc.) can be found in the SI overview. Registration is via the SI-registration form.
