And the cats want Fancy Feast to be much fancier.
Dear Word Detective: Way back in elementary school, there was one creature abhorred more than any other–the “D-er.” This despicable person would cut in front of another in one of the many lines we always seemed to find ourselves in. This was called “ditching,” shortened often to “d-ing.” I have asked the Internets, but they remain stubbornly quiescent on the matter, as did several dictionaries. Perhaps the word is limited to Central Ohio school systems? You’re my last hope, O Mighty Word Detective! — Not a D-er in Ohio.
At last, my genius is acknowledged! By the way, you can call me Obi Word. OK, here’s the plan: abolish all organized sports and outlaw TV, movies, and internet video. Force people to read again. Then make teaching the highest-paid profession and college education free and mandatory. Conduct driver’s license exams in Latin and set a national speed limit of 40 mph. Make all cell phones coin-operated and text-messaging a felony. Make bottled-water companies say what’s in the stuff, and allow claiming cats as dependents for tax purposes. Have I left anything out?
OK, back to the real world. “Ditch” is based on the Old English “dic,” which also gave us “dike.” From the beginning, “ditch” meant “a long and narrow excavation in the ground, especially one designed to carry water, as for drainage,” but early on “ditch” also meant the long mound of dirt excavated to make that trench, i.e., a “dike.” So for most of the 16th and 17th centuries, “ditch” and “dike” were vaguely synonymous.
“Ditch” became a verb in the 14th century meaning “to dig a ditch, especially to surround with a ditch as a means of fortification or marking boundaries” (“The several parcels of land … shall be inclosed, hedged, ditched, or fenced,” 1788). In the early 19th century, “to ditch” began being used to mean “throw into or as into a ditch” (Oxford English Dictionary). “Ditch” in a figurative sense meaning “to discard, jilt, abandon or defeat” followed soon after, and by the time of World War II, “to ditch” had become Royal Air Force slang for “to attempt an emergency landing in the sea.” This use was no doubt influenced by the earlier use of “ditch” as a noun to mean the sea in general and the English Channel in particular.
People have probably been standing in lines since the first mastodon roast, but only with the advent of the industrial revolution and urban congestion did we start inventing terms for the practice of not waiting your fair turn. “Queue jumping,” “cutting in line,” and “butting/barging/budging in line” are all fairly well-know terms for the practice. “Ditch the line,” however, is rarely heard outside the US Midwest, and has occasioned several discussions in recent years on the American Dialect Society email list (ADS-L).
It turns out, and I was quite surprised by this, that “to ditch the line” is used almost exclusively in Central Ohio, particularly in Columbus and surrounding areas of Franklin County (which is where my wife Kathy grew up and quite close to where we live now). Steven H. Keiser of the Department of Linguistics at Ohio State University in Columbus has been researching use of the phrase for several years, and has discovered several interesting angles to use of this “ditch,” including one that may help explain its origin.
The question, of course, is how “to ditch,” even in its slang sense of “jilt, abandon, discard,” could come to mean “butt into line.” It might be simply a greatly extended use of the “discard” sense to mean “blithely disregard the rights of other people in line,” but that seems a stretch. Some have suggested that a queue-jumper metaphorically “digs a ditch” in the middle of the line and steps in, but that seems even more elaborate and unlikely.
It has also been suggested that this “ditch” actually has no connection to the “trench” sort of ditch but is actually a modified form of the 18th century English slang term “to dish,” meaning “to ruin, defeat, circumvent” (from the sense of food being done and “dished,” i.e., put on plates). The same “dish” is found in the slang phrase “dish it out” and its modern relative, “dish the dirt” meaning “tell gossip.” Interestingly, and perhaps significantly, Steven Keiser at OSU spent some time asking people in and around Columbus about “ditch,” and discovered that people over the age of 40 (in 2001) tended to remember using the term “dish” to mean “cut in line,” while young children used, as you note, simply “D.” While not conclusive, the use of “dish” in this sense by the older generation may well indicate that “dish” is indeed the source of this sense of “ditch.”
You’re a bigger one.
Dear Word Detective: This being silly season (come to think of it, haven’t the entire last ten years been silly season?), there has been an awful lot of media attention on wingnuts. Can you tell us anything about when the term “wingnut” started to refer to … well … what else could I call them? … wingnuts? — Dawn.
This is an interesting question. Unfortunately, what makes it particularly interesting are some areas of uncertainty, but we’ll do our best to make it all make sense. Just keep in mind that this is a topic in which “making sense” itself does not play a large role.
“Wingnut” is a pejorative term commonly used by political bloggers of a left bent to describe fervid exponents of right-wing (often extreme right-wing) political opinions and causes. (I’m going to avoid the use of terms such as “conservative,” “liberal,” “libertarian” and “progressive” here because I have no interest in debating political theology at the moment. “Left” and right” will have to do.) This current sense of “wingnut” dates back to the late 1990s, but it only really became popular with the rise of political blogging in the early years of the 21st century.
In a literal sense, “wingnut,” which first appeared as “wing nut” around 1900, means a kind of mechanical “nut” (paired with a bolt) having “wings,” or flat projections, allowing it to be easily tightened using only one’s fingers. Handy things, those wing nuts. The existence of that sense of “wingnut” contributed to, but is not directly connected to, the modern political “wingnut,” which is simply a shortened form of “right-wing nut,” a phrase dating to the early 1960s (“‘You one of these right-wing nut outfits?’ inquired the diplomatic Metzger,” The Crying of Lot 49, Thomas Pynchon, 1966). “Nut” here is, of course a slang term meaning “crazy person,” derived from the very old use of “nut” to mean “head.”
Interestingly, however, “wingnut” had a low-key presence in the culture back in the 1980s as a simple, non-political synonym for “eccentric person” or “crackpot,” a use clearly not derived from a shortening of “right-wing nut.” It seems to have been especially popular in Canada, applied to everything from bad drivers (“Our most vociferous broadside against wingnut drivers,” Toronto Star, 1987) to the late Michael Jackson (“Moonwalk is less an autobiography than a printed response. [Michael Jackson] feels we have got him wrong. That we have misunderstood his idiosyncrasies and unfairly branded him a celebrity wingnut,” The Gazette, Montreal, 1988). My guess is that this use of “wingnut” is a simple elaboration of “nut” in the “crackpot” sense, perhaps invoking the “wings” of a mechanical wingnut to suggest flights of fantasy or the like. This non-political “wingnut” surely contributed to the current political “nutcase” use of the word.
“Wingnut” was also used to mean a fan of the NBC show The West Wing (1999-2007) about a fictional Democratic president and his administration.
Speaking of wings, the equivalent epithet commonly applied by right-wing bloggers and commentators to “wingnuts” of the left is “moonbat,” introduced (according to the late William Safire, a masterful chronicler of such things) in 1999 by Perry de Haviland, proprietor of the “Samizdata” blog. De Haviland has said that when he coined the term (as “barking moonbat”) he meant it to apply to crazies of both the Right and Left, but today it is deployed exclusively by the Right at the Left. Safire theorized that the existing epithet “Loony Left” (“loony” being rooted in “luna,” moon) may have bolstered the appeal of “moonbat” to the Right. The source of “moonbat” is uncertain, but the term does occur in two stories from the 1940s by science-fiction writer Robert Heinlein.
Or possibly from the French for “Remember me.”
Dear Word Detective: A coworker suggested that another, who was showing signs of a cold, go home so that he didn’t “give us all his cooties.” More commonly, of course, even in this era of fear of bedbugs, we all know that “cooties” are that thing the opposite sex has when you’re a kid. But why? I was surprised not to find this in the archives of your website; perhaps the answer is unprintable? — A in Berkeley.
Eek, bedbugs! Actually I think I’ve discovered another benefit of living in the middle of nowhere. Our old farmhouse may have mice in the walls, possums in the cellar, squirrels in the attic, and venomous spiders in every nook and cranny (not to mention coyotes that come right up on the front porch looking for lunch), but so far (knock wood) no bedbugs.
A discussion of “cootie” is definitely not unprintable today, although it probably would have been back in the 1950s. In the literal sense, a “cootie” is a body louse, a nasty little biting creature that afflicts people who don’t have access, for whatever reason, to clean laundry and facilities for maintaining proper personal hygiene. The term “cootie” apparently entered the mainstream US lexicon in the wake of World War I, in which months spent in the trenches of Europe gave soldiers a regrettable familiarity with lice (“‘Does the straw bother you, mate? It’s worked through my uniform and I can’t sleep.’ In a sleepy voice he answered, ‘That ain’t straw, them’s cooties,'” 1917).
The origins of “cootie” are a bit murky. The most likely source is the Malay word for louse, “kutu,” but how the word made the leap to soldiers in Europe is unclear. Michael Quinion of World Wide Words (www.worldwidewords.org) suggests that a related word may exist in Tagalog (the language of the Philippines) and was picked up by US soldiers stationed there, which seems very reasonable to me. Quinion also notes that the word “cootie” has remained US-centric and is virtually unknown in Britain.
Interestingly, “cootie” is rarely used in this literal sense today; perhaps the intractable problem of head lice in US schoolchildren has taken the sting of scandal out of the word “lice.” But the use of “cooties” is alive and well, especially among children, in the sense of, as the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) puts it, “an imaginary germ with which a socially undesirable person, or one of the opposite sex, is said to be infected.” The first citation for this use in the OED is from 1967, but since it’s from a Beverly Cleary young adult novel (“Quit breathing on it… We don’t want any of your cooties in the pudding,” Mitch and Amy), we can assume the term was in use among children for at least a few years before that appearance.
The use of “cooties” to mean “real germs or microbes of an unidentified sort,” as in your example, is interesting for two reasons. First, it seems pretty clearly to be a simple extension of the child-vernacular “cooties” into the adult world, where it is used in a new literal, if usually jocular, sense, usually among friends. (I have it on good authority that the CDC does not, for instance, issue directives employing the term “cooties.”) So there may be some evidence of the creeping infantilization of US culture there (as if we needed more). Secondly, the perpetuation of a concern about undifferentiated “cooties” dovetails nicely with accelerating germophobia in the US, as evidenced by anti-microbial wipes at the entrance of nearly every store and the impregnation of nearly every product with germ-killing agents. As someone who discovered last week that he had unwittingly bought a kitty-litter pan infused with an anti-microbial agent, I think we’ve gone a bit over the edge. A few cooties are good for you, boys and girls. | <urn:uuid:1724b4e4-74fe-4d6c-b5a9-20614f0ae288> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.word-detective.com/category/columns/march-2011/page/3/ | 2016-10-24T23:32:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719815.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00463-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.968205 | 3,210 | [

The good: Well, my pumping has been going great. With Nora, we had to supplement from day one of pumping and I never was able to keep up with her demand. This time I'm actually pumping more than he can eat so I think I might be able to actually build up a freezer stash (was never even a remote possibility with Nora).
The bad: It friggin hurts! I have an Ameda Purely Yours that I used for a while with Nora before switching to an Avent Isis. Well apparently I didn't clean the Isis well enough before putting it away because it has some sort of mildew in it so I broke out the electric pump again and like I said my output is great. But it's making my nipples sore. The Isis had these soft plastic inserts to put on the horns, but the APY is just hard plastic. My nipple skin sticks a bit, though it's better if I can put a little BM on there to lubricate. Even when lubricated though it make me sore. My nipples were perfectly fine before I started pumping and now they are getting really sensitive and red on the ends. Any advice or ideas? Do you think it's something I'll get used to, like nursing the first few weeks, or do you think there is a problem with the horn size or something? | <urn:uuid:ca6b12f4-9886-4941-8fcb-7a3ea4823815> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://forums.llli.org/showthread.php?69080-good-news-and-bad-news | 2016-10-26T00:37:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720471.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00525-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.980645 | 272 | [

Experts say study should be taken with grain of salt, panic is uncalled for
SHANGHAI - Recent research has concluded that 10 percent of the rice sold in national markets is likely to be tainted with heavy metals, but agricultural experts said the pollution is confined to particular regions and there is no call for panic.
The report comes from the Nanjing Agricultural University's Institute of Resource, Ecosystem and Environment of Agriculture.
After taking samples of 91 kinds of rice collected from markets in six agricultural regions in China in 2007, researchers found 10 percent of the rice samples was laced with cadmium - a heavy metal that is associated with high blood pressure, bone fractures and pain if high concentrations of it accumulate in a person's body, according to a report in Century Weekly magazine's Feb 14 issue.
The research team, led by Professor Pan Genxing, sallied forth again in 2008, this time concentrating on the country's southern region. It found that over 60 percent of the rice samples it took were tainted with cadmium. In some samples, the cadmium level was equal to five times of the legal maximum.
The findings were first published in an environmental magazine, but received little notice until the Century Weekly magazine shined a spotlight on them this week.
China, which produces and consumes more rice than any other country, grows nearly 200 million tons of rice a year. If 10 percent of that total is contaminated with cadmium, then roughly 20 million tons may be tainted, according to the report.
Pan and other experts said the pollution is confined to a few specific regions, so there is no reason for a general panic.
Shang Qi, a researcher from Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said: "Cadmium tainting is prevalent in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, Guizhou and Hunan provinces, but not other parts of the country."
"So it would be hasty to conclude that 10 percent of the rice sold on the market is contaminated with cadmium," he said. "The original findings only said that it was 10 percent of the samples collected that were tainted."
Shang is taking part in a nationwide study of the pollution and ailments caused by heavy metals. The work was commissioned by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Environmental Protection and is expected to be published next year.
Pan said he believes rice pollution is more common in the south because "the soils there are acidic".
"Much of the cadmium comes from the chemical waste of local blast furnaces, and rice absorbs more cadmium than any other crop," said Pan.
He said city residents should not overconcern themselves with rice's ability to take in cadmium, because the grain sold in big cities usually comes from a diverse array of regions and farmlands, thus lowering the risk of "being poisoned".
"The real victims are the farmers who live in or around these polluted areas," he added. "All of what they eat comes from the field. So cadmium is very likely to accumulate in their bodies, and endanger their health."
The scandal has stirred little reaction among consumers. Both high-end supermarkets and neighborhood grocery stores interviewed by China Daily on Tuesday said that their rice sales had neither risen nor dropped since the research results were disclosed.
"Most of my rice comes from the suburbs or Northeast China," said Wang Fugen, a rice dealer in Shanghai.
Chen Huili, a 50-year-old housewife in Shanghai, says that she has become slightly "immune" to widespread concerns over food safety and somehow "wishes (the scares) could help reduce the price of rice a bit", especially as the country is seeing a rise in inflation.
"There is nothing we can do as consumers," she said. "From milk, drainage oil (used cooking oil recycled from restaurant waste), to tainted pork, it seems that once every several months, there is a type of food that is going wrong. But our life has to go on, and we can't eliminate all of it from our table, especially since a lot of the foods are staples in our diet."
According to a nationwide survey conducted by Tsinghua University and Qiushi magazine, 70 percent of 1,010 respondents interviewed felt "insecure" about Chinese food safety.
Shang Qi with the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention said that China lacks a good way to measure the health risks that arise from pollution.

This week I begin Exploring the MathTwitterBlogosphere. I’m looking forward to these missions and challenges because I need someone pushing me to find the time to write in this blog. It’s good for me. Like spinach.
This week’s mission: What is one of your favorite open-ended/rich problems? How do you use it in your classroom?
One of my favorite open-ended/rich problems comes at the end of a unit on trigonometric functions. After exploring, transforming, and applying trig functions to Ferris wheels, tides, pendulums, sound waves, … I assess my students’ understanding by giving them some almanac data of sunrise and sunset times for a specific location on Earth. Their job is to analyze the data and create a trig function to model either sunrise times, sunset times, or hours of daylight – their choice.
The data looks like this
and that makes it somewhat challenging for students to even begin. They are reminded that they should have “enough” data to know if the model they develop fits well. I point out that the times are given to them in hours and minutes, but that they probably want a single unit (hours or minutes after midnight). From there, they are on their own to solve the problem. Usually, they work with a partner.
In the classes that I’ve used this task with, we’ve modified the amplitude, period, and midline of the sine and cosine functions. We haven’t introduced phase shift, yet. So, there is also a reminder about selecting a convenient “Day 0” for the function they choose to model with.
What I love about this task:
- Students are talking math, asking each other about the number of data points they should use: “Should we just pick the same day every month? Are 12 data points enough?” or “Do we just go every 20th day?” or “What should we use for the first day?”
- Students are problem solving. They have to convert the times into a single unit. They have to make decisions about which variable to model, when to start, which type of model to use. Then, they can collect the relevant information to modify their chosen function.
- Students are using technology. Although they don’t have to, it’s really easiest to have the kids making scatterplots on calculators or computers and then graphing their model on top of that. Then they have a built in way to check their work – they don’t have to ask me (the teacher) if they are correct. It shows up in the picture that they create.
- Students think that working with trig models is really hard, so they feel very proud when they are able to complete this task without any help from the teacher.
- It’s really easy to grade. Either the model fits or it doesn’t. Kids turn in their data tables and work showing how they calculated the necessary values for their model. This precludes anyone from using the old SinReg command.
- Even though I’ve used this task for about ten years, it’s a perfect fit with the Common Core math standards (trigonometric functions) and practices. And since I live in a SBG world, this is a very good thing.
My favorite kind of assessment is one where students have to apply what they’ve learned to a different situation. Even though we create lots of different trig models in class, sunrise, sunset, and daylight hours represent a new application. And a new challenge. | <urn:uuid:0191045e-28f8-46f0-bc91-f5fff16d36c1> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://rawsonmath.wordpress.com/2013/10/06/what-time-will-the-sun-rise/ | 2016-10-26T00:29:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720471.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00525-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.94148 | 759 | [

Hi, I recently decided to click "ignore" on one of the words flagged by the spell checker, after this it has decided to ignore every single mis-spelt word on any hub, is there any way to turn it back on?
That sounds like a glitch to me! Have you tried emptying your cache or turning your computer off and rebooting to allow a reset? Good luck
I read about your problem and when I quickly scanned one of my Hubs for 'purposely' misspelled words. I scanned over a regular word that I had spelled incorrectly so I thought that I would use the spell check to find it quickly. I edited the section of the Hub and spell check said 'No Misspelled Words'.
Recently I have written a Hub that has a capsule labeled 'Why I Do Not Trust Spell Checkers'. There is an example. It also looks as if your problem has spread.
Sorry to hear you are having problems with the spell checker feature in the HubTool.
It looks like you have the current stable version of Firefox.
Have you tried rebooting your machine and clearing your browser cache?
You can find these tips in more detail here.
http://hubpages.com/learningcenter/Diag … r-problems
Does the issue persist if you use a different browser like Chrome?
Most modern browsers contain their own spell checking feature that you can use as well.

If you are still having problems, please let us know the specific Hub URL and/or title and we can do some additional research.
I do not use Firefox I already use Chrome. Like I said I do not rely on spell checkers anyway and rarely use them, I use dictionaries. I was only using it this morning to check the problem of mrblueishouvesky.
Cheers Matthew for the help, I tried the cache clearing & restarting comp afterwards to no avail, it's on hubs I try, even if put in like sdsdfsgee still says no misspellings, dam like I said thought I'd become a spelling wizard overnight
Will try the inbuilt spellchecker on firefox, didn't know it had one to turn on thank you
Thanks for all the information.
We have recreated and forwarded this bug to our engineering team to be addressed.
Yes I too face the same situation. Please do the needful at the earliest.
Try pressing on the spell check button in the text capsule editor. It has the 'abc with a tick' sign. Press on that and it will show any mis-spelt word that you may have. Keep pressing on that button regularly and then, it should automatically show mis-spelt words after a while. Sorry I couldn't answer this question sooner!
Hi Susi, thanks for trying, what I mean is everytime I press that button it comes up saying "no misspelt words" even if I put words like "glsfhdkhd" still says "no misspelt words", at first I thought I'd got loads better at spelling though then dawned on me it was just saying everything was spelt fine everytime no matter what, I've tried it with both English ticked and not ticked, it wouldn't be so bad but I'm an attrocious (probs spelt wrong) speller at times
Oh, I understand. Yes, that does seem to be a problem. I would say it is a technical issue, hopefully Matt Meyers might come to help, and solve the problem. It is probably a bug in their code or something like that. I suppose, for now all you can do is to copy and paste your work into a word processor (like Microsoft Word) and fix wrong spellings. Does the spell check work on other parts of the internet, like searching on Google or writing an email. Try doing a mis-spelling while composing an email and then right click on your mouse. Do the right spellings show up?
I hope you get this problem solved.
I know this response is a bit late, but I really prefer to write in my own word processor, get everything correct, save an original on my computer and my backup drive and then post to hubpages something already with corrected spelling and grammar.
If I lost internet while writing online , I think I would end up losing everything I wrote and I have a hard time writing
Is there a way to rest the 3 security questions? Thanks

Facebook announced another new feature this week – Shared Albums. This allows multiple users to upload images to the same album, letting others add to your photo conversation. Previously, only users could upload photos to the albums they created.
Now, the album creator can share access to as many as 50 “contributors,” who can each in turn share up to 200 photos. Album creators can choose a setting that allows contributors to invite others to the album, or retain total control over album invitations. Additionally, there are a few privacy settings to share the photos: public, friends of contributors and contributors only, which still provides some control over who can see the photos posted by the contributors.
Why is this exciting?
Shared albums are a great way for groups to connect on the world’s largest social network in new ways – and we think will be particularly relevant in the wedding and event industry.
Now, users can create a shared album of their wedding or recent event that they hosted or attended, tag users and businesses, and allow others to gain access as well to expand the content – and expand the reach to new audiences (additional contributors online community!). This means increase opportunity to expand your marketing reach across Facebook when you work a great wedding or event!
How to create a shared album:
- Login to Facebook
- Go to an album you’ve created
- Click ‘Make Shared Album’ in the top left corner
- Choose contributors and select an audience
- Click ‘Save’
Contributors will be able to view, add photos and add contributors to the album. It may also appear on their timeline.
Learn more about this new feature from Mashable!

Using non-premixed model on compressible flow
hi, I am using non-premixed model to model a reacting flow ejecting from a combustion chamber through a small nozzle.
I have a problem with the setting of operating pressure. When I generate the PDF file in prePDF, I have to specify the operating pressure. Once the Fluent read the PDF file, the operating pressure in Fluent is automaticlly set at the same value as the pressure in prePDF.
My questions: 1. since I am modeling a compressible flow (transonic condition), the pressure gradient in my calculation domain is big, what pressure shold I specify in prePDF?
2. The usual practice for modeling a compressible flow is to set the operating pressure at ZERO. but I can no longer change the operating pressure after PDF file is read into FLUENT.
any idea of solving the problem?

LLOYD's Register of Shipping has granted certification to the plug connectors in the Variocon range from Phoenix Contact. This means this modular plug connector system of protection class IP 67 can now also be used in marine and offshore applications.
The Variocon plug connector system is suitable for use in devices, terminal boxes and control cabinets. The range is based on modular contact inserts with screwed and PCB connections and fixed contact inserts with crimped connection.
The variable layout means that the plug connector can be optimally configured to the individual application, supported by the Pluscon-select software from Phoenix Contact.
The modular contact inserts make it possible to combine power and signal transmission in a single plug connector. The contact system corresponds to the well-known Combicon connection method.
For data transmission purposes, additional optical fibre modules can be used. The fixed contact inserts with 15 to 65 pins make use of the crimped contacts from the Heavycon D series in accordance with DIN 43652, with both turned and rolled versions being available.
Variocon bush housings provide impervious mounting directly on the wall, which means that a surface-mounting housing is not needed. This type of latching installation saves space, is easily accessible and vibrationproof, and meets the requirements of protection class IP 67.
An extensive range of accessories: sub-assembly housings, screw cable connections, marking material, protective covers, adapter plates for control cabinet cutouts and crimp contacts completes the Variocon plug connector range.

AMD continues to gain momentum with their 64-bit processors, and this time the push is coming from Microsoft. Though it is rare for Microsoft to show alliance with a processor other than an Intel, that is just what they have done, and it is big. AMD has implemented code in Athlon 64 and Opteron processors that Microsoft is working with the chip manufacturer to integrate in its next release of Windows XP. The code makes it very difficult to exploit buffer overflows, which are the largest source of security holes; this would mean computers would have a built-in immunity to attacks like Blaster and Code Red. It is thought that Microsoft chose AMD because they are ahead of Intel in processor technology–Intel does not have plans to incorporate this security feature in Prescott or any PC chip slated for the next 18 months–Itanium is the only processor to feature similar code. The code allows memory to be controlled as readable, writeable, or executable, which stops code from being executed in buffers designed to be read-only. Other advances also keep malicious code from sending mail to your Outlook contact list, an exploit that has been heavily used to deliver the malicious payloads. With plans to have the technology in the hands of consumers by mid-2004, this could be a major boon for both AMD and Microsoft. AMD will benefit greatly from the ability to combat the biggest problem plaguing corporate network security, and Microsoft will benefit as well because it reduces the largest threat to its operating system and applications. Although the largest beneficiary of the development will be the consumer and Corporate America, I can't imagine going a month without having to apply patches, then wondering what is still lurking that we don't know about. Don't get me wrong: this does not make the Internet a safe place, and it will only be a matter of time before another exploit is found, but it sure goes a long way in that direction. These are the kind of partnerships and technological developments we need; if this plays out like it sounds it will put Intel behind the 8-ball.

It is really good, to see some serious competition to Intel.
That keeps the market alive.
Well done folks. Continue like that. :) – by icarus
|Wooooooo (10:42am EST Wed Dec 17 2003)
Does that mean big corporation and governments are going to start replacing bilion of office computers with AMD 64s to make their network more secure …. i think so :)
Go AMD go …
|First 64-bit laptop? (10:56am EST Wed Dec 17 2003)
Will AMD also be the first company in history to offer a portable 64-bit processor machine? I think so. No marketting spin needed on this one. One for the history books. Just need a fully complete 64-bit OS of any flavor to go with it to reap the full benefits. Tech Gurus will go gaga for a 64-bit laptop that lets them run any OS they choose. – by AMD makes prices low
|Funny, Microsoft does not implement this. (11:18am EST Wed Dec 17 2003)
“The code allows memory to be controlled as readable, writeable, or executable, which stops code from being executed in buffers designed to be read-only.”
Unix and Linux already allows data to be controlled as readable, writeable, or executable by user, group, all, or by root. All data under Windows can be executable. If Windows implemented the execution bit, the problems of virus and worms would be reduced by a significant amount. – by MS Weak Security

MS is 10 years behind Linux technology wise.
But Linux is 15 years behind microsoft desktop wise.

MS is sure are slow with their X86-64. Linux came out their X86-64 implementation at the AMD Opteron prototype stage.
|Slip (2:21pm EST Wed Dec 17 2003)
Seems Intel has been doing alot of “analyzing” this year. The beast has assumed a fetal position and that is so unlike Intel. Hope the first few quarters next year will be a good kick in the behind to get Intel back on track.
Not letting bugs send to your Outlook addresses is good, but requireing a reboot to flush them out seems a little drastic for a server.
Besides going smaller, hotter and slower, what is Intel up to? – by Zeke
|read/write/exe… (2:56pm EST Wed Dec 17 2003)
this has the potential to stop some of the more blatant (i.e. op codes in fake URL's, &c.) exploits, but – unless i am totally missing something, here – won't stop any of the old-school virii (well written trojans, &c. — .vbs b.s. is easy enough to block, n-e-way.)
i'm no asm pro, though — and i have yet to get a good look at the (down-n-dirty) Opteron spec's (op code changes from the standard x86 arch.) — so i could be wrong, on this — anyone, out there, gotten their hands on an assembler/compiler (and a box to run it on) for this chipset, yet, who knows the fine details of how this will work?
– by asm_amature
|read/write/exe… (3:14pm EST Wed Dec 17 2003)
hmm… lost the 1st ¶
how will this work with front-end clients (i.e. an IDE which allows you to switch assemblers/compilers (masm / gcc / javac / &c.))have to pass the name of the prog. to run as a process variable — ain't that going to wind up in the .exe memory space, allowing a sort of stack-overflow — just one step removed? – by asm_amature
|Passing the buck (4:39pm EST Wed Dec 17 2003)
Doesn't this strike anyone as M$ passing responsibility for handling buffer overflows onto someone else, ie, AMD? They should fix their own mistakes. – by Norm Thorsen
|no, it's not passing the buck. (5:00pm EST Wed Dec 17 2003)
Norm, if you worked in the IT industry, you'd know that redundancy is the norm. Looking at all the linux buffer overflows, I'm convinced this is a great step…if it works. It's quite stupid to blame MS for overflows when Linux and OSX both suffer from them. As to your 'passing the buck' argument, would you argue that HD makers are passing the buck to RAID card manufacturers for their own failures? Every decent server sold today has redundant disk arrays, redundant power supplies, redundant fans, memory registers. Every major corporate network with decent admins has firewalls and locked-down servers as well as network authentication and anti-virus software on client machines. I see absolutely nothing wrong with the CPU helping the OS prevent buffer overruns. – by Steven
|yes, it is passing the buck (5:51pm EST Wed Dec 17 2003)
Steven in his usual stupid self. Have you learned anything in the IT industry?
Windows XP, by default, provides unrestricted, “administrator” access to a computer including worms and viruses.
Mac OS X and Linux get this right: Users get broad rights, but critical system tasks require entering a password. If, for instance, a virus wants to install a “backdoor” for further intrusions, you'll have to authorize it.
Windows XP Home Edition, however, ships with five ports open, behind which run “services” that serve no purpose except on a computer network. In comparison, Mac OS X ships with zero ports open to
Windows treats data the same as code. There is no such thing as an execution bit in Windows.
Linux, Unix and Mac OS X have been doing fine without any anti-virus software.
|Analyze this (9:57pm EST Wed Dec 17 2003)
OK, I was busy flying satellites earlier. Done with that mess and really wanted to take a gig at Intel pushing DRM so dang hard and “analyzing” secure and stable computing platforms.
I know Intel is very active in conferences and papers on secure computing but there has been more talk and “analyzing” in the last year, (or 2), than producing any solutions.
The focus Intel has on DRM just annoys me. Makes the big money players happy but it does nothing that can't/won't be undone by our gifted pirates.
AMD is doing much more with so much less and it solidifies my thoughts that AMD is the current innovation leader in the industry. – by Zeke

So I read Fifty Shades of Grey. This is the book written by female British author “E.L. James” that became a huge bestseller, devoured by pretty much every woman on Earth except my wife (or so she claims).
I think I might be the only man who read this book. I did it sneakily, hiding the cover, especially when I was on an airplane, which actually is a good place to read this book because you have access to a barf bag. I say this because of the writing style, which is… OK, here’s one tiny sample of the writing style:
“Did you give him our address?”
“No, but stalking is one of his specialties,” I muse matter-of-factly.
Kate’s brow knits further.
That’s right: This is the kind of a book where, instead of saying things, characters muse them, and they are somehow able to muse them matter-of-factly. And these matter-of-fact musings cause other characters’ brows — which of course were already knitted — to knit still further. The book is over 500 pages long, and the whole thing is written like that. If Jane Austen (another bestselling female British author) came back to life and read this book, she would kill herself.
So why did I read it? I read it because, as a man with decades of experience in the field of not knowing what the hell women are thinking, I was hoping this book would give me some answers. Because a lot of women LOVED this book. And they didn’t just read it: They responded to it by developing erotic feelings — feelings so powerful that in some cases they wanted to have sex with their own husbands.
I know that sounds like crazy talk, but I have firsthand confirmation of this phenomenon from my friend Ron, who is married to my wife’s cousin Sonia, a woman. Ron states: “While Sonia was reading the book, I was getting more action than Wilt Chamberlain.”
Another friend of mine whose name I will keep confidential out of respect for his privacy (Eddie Friedman) told me, “I’d be lying on the bed watching Sports Center, and she’d be reading that book and suddenly whoa.”
So what kind of book is Fifty Shades of Grey? I would describe it, literary-genre-wise, as “a porno book.” But it’s not the kind of porno men are accustomed to. When a man reads porno, he does not want to get bogged down in a bunch of unimportant details about the characters, such as who they are or what they think. A man wants to get right to the porno:
Bart Pronghammer walked into the hotel room and knitted his brow at the sight of a naked woman with breasts like regulation volleyballs.
“Let’s have sex,” she mused matter-of-factly.
A few paragraphs later they’re all done, and the male reader, having invested maybe 90 seconds of his time, can put the book down and go back to watching Sports Center.

"OK, do we start shishkebabing John Tortorella right now, or.." were the wise words HNiC *analyst*, kickstarting his temper tantrum directed at the coach following his actions during the 1st intermission of Saturday night's Fight Club.
Well, shishkebab away did Colin Campbell - note that it wasn't Brendan Shanahan, who's only responsible for player transgressions - when he dropped the hammer on the Canucks bench boss, suspending him for 15 days (essentially 6 games) without pay [maybe now he'll have some time to come meet some fans and have a few rounds at The Pint on the 29th, perhaps?]
That means that we won't be seeing him until February 3rd, when the Canucks embark on a 4-game Eastern Conference trip before heading into the Olympic break. By the sounds of it, assistant coaches Mike Sullivan - who spoke to the media in Tortorella's stead this afternoon - and Glen Gulutzan (*gulp*) will handle the job in the meantime.
January 20 2014 02:58PM
John Tortorella should've probably just #LoggedOff on Saturday night.
This past weekend in the NHL sure did provide us with a litany of topics to discuss on this edition of the podcast; particularly Saturday night, in which there was an officiating blunder in Detroit, a 4-goal game by an ageless wonder, and oh yeah, a line brawl in Vancouver (and some shenanigans off of the ice to boot).
Don't you worry, we touched on all of that. We also whether we'd rather buy Avalanche or Lightning stock, and introduced a few new segments that'll be recurring over the coming weeks/months (a buy/sell fantasy hockey portion, and a picks contest).
January 20 2014 01:06PM
Just a quick note for a sunny Monday afternoon:
Not at all surprising. Henrik Sedin was struggling all night versus Calgary, before finally being shown some mercy by being taken out of the game in the 2nd period. The last time the Canucks played a game without him, they lost a 4-3 game to the Chicago Blackhawks on a hat-trick by Tyler Arnason, all the way back on March 19, 2004.
January 20 2014 08:55AM
During and after the fireworks in Vancouver on Saturday night, many people wanted to get on Canucks head coach John Tortorella for being so mad. Claiming that if he didn’t want or expect that to happen, he should have put out a more skilled line.
January 19 2014 12:21AM
Let's just be completely honest and upfront with ourselves: the only redeeming quality to Vancouver's Saturday night showdown against Calgary was the two points the Canucks pocketed in the standings. I have a far more tolerant view of fighting than some of the other great writers here, and I thought the line brawl to start the game was hilarious and entertaining in the moment, but at the end of the day it was completely pointless, detrimental to the rest of the game, and another embarassing incident for a franchise that's quickly building quite the collection for themselves in the past week.
Unfortunately, the fights, nastiness and other extracirriculars (you know the ones) are going to be the prevailing narrative in the coming days, not just in Vancouver, but more than likely throughout the entirety of North America. I referenced a 3-2 loss to Calgary being more embarassing than the 9-1 drilling that happened in Anaheim in my last post-game report, but I don't think anyone could have imagined the madness that happened tonight. I'm sure we'll have a lot more in the coming days, but read past the jump for our initial impressions of tonight's 3-2 shootout win. | <urn:uuid:4f13112f-06a7-40a3-aec2-5a2b3b30dcd1> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://canucksarmy.com/page/629?tw_p=twt | 2016-10-28T08:20:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721595.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00082-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962006 | 813 | [

2010 Chateau Pichon Longueville au Baron Pauillac
- Size: 750ml
- Type: Red Wine
- Varietal: Red Bordeaux Blend
- Country: France
- Region: Bordeaux, Pauillac
"This is mouthfilling, with terrifically dense yet graceful layers of roasted coffee, warm fig sauce, currant preserves and Kenya AA coffee. The powerful finish blends iron-clad tannins and a hint of loam. Cuts a broad swath, but remains pure. Destined for a long life."
Reviewed by: Wine Spectator - 95-98 pts
"A prodigious, blockbuster effort from Pichon Longueville Baron, the 2010 is reminiscent of this estate’s titanic offerings in 1989 and 1990, but may be even greater with 30 years of longevity. Kudos to proprietor AXA and general director Christian Seeley. It was absolutely compelling on each of the three times I tasted it. Black/purple-colored with super concentration and richness as well as full body, it offers an awesome display of creme de cassis, blackberry liqueur, licorice, camphor and spring flowers. Stunningly pure and unctuously textured with high but sweet, well-integrated tannins, this superstar of the vintage is definitely a wine to purchase as a future."

171 PGDM students of FORE School of Management visited Hong Kong Polytechnic University
8th May 2013
From March 31, 2013 to April 5, 2013, the students of FORE School of Management (batch of 2012-2014) became the first ever to experience what can only be referred to as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The FORE School of Management, along with the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, organised an international immersion programme wherein nearly 180 students of FORE School of Management (first year) along with four faculty members spent 5 days in Hong Kong. The visit was planned as an attempt to broaden their learning and give them an international perspective.
A first-time experience for many, the programme was designed to offer maximum exposure to students, both to the culture of Hong Kong and to its style of business. Over the five days, the students went on corporate visits and had classroom sessions with some of the finest teachers of Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The teachers gave them a glimpse into the world of business in Hong Kong , i.e. from it’s business environment, to its financial strength, to the state of the art in marine logistics, etc. Simply put, in a span of only 5 days the students had a fair idea about what makes Hong Kong the trade hub that it is. Moreover, the expertise of the teachers in their respective subjects, along with the brilliant way in which they handled the questions , made this a learning experience never to be forgotten.
However, it was definitely not ‘all work and no play’ for the students. Since the idea was to expose students to the culture of Hong Kong as well, there were city tours, a beautiful inaugural function (which included the traditional ‘dragon dance’), visit to the street market (Mong Kok) and many other sights and sounds. Students acquired not just knowledge, but memories; whether it was the view from Victoria Peak, or the picturesque skyline, it was all breathtaking. A visit to the famous Madame Tussaud’s wax museum was too good a chance to be missed, and left everyone spellbound. The travel across the exceptional MTR (metro rail system of Hong Kong), or the playful, almost comical, bargaining at shops in Mong Kok; trying out the new cuisine or overcoming the language barrier; the visit to corporate offices or the lectures by eminent teachers – all these experiences made the five days at Hong Kong the perfect blend of professional learning and cultural sensitisation. The students came back enriched by experiencing, in the words of Prince Charles, ‘one of the most successful societies on Earth.’ Or better yet, in the words of the students themselves, “In these five days, we felt we lived the best part of our lives so far.” | <urn:uuid:5a1d7d6f-35fe-44b7-9adb-70c5b066ea66> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.fsm.ac.in/morevent.php?id=102 | 2016-10-21T18:18:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988718296.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183838-00143-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971859 | 577 | [

The Confederate flag isn’t a flag that should be worn and represented proudly. Throughout the years, America has been trying to eradicate the flag but some people just will not let it go.
Twenty students of Christianburg High School weren’t very happy when their schools new policy prohibited the flag from the parking lot. They took action by wearing the symbol on their clothes, although its been banned from their school dress code for over a decade. The students were suspended immediately. Most of the students were given one day suspension and a few were given three days because of their “loud displays and behavior.” Originally, 24 students showed up wearing their Confederate gear but three of them decided to comply before coming into school.
Brenda Drake, a spokesperson for Montgomery County Public Schools, told NBC the policy that banned the flags from schools was implemented in 2001 and 2002, along with several “racially motivated behavior” related the controversial flag. But this year, Christiansburg High decided to be more strict and ban its students from displaying any kind of Confederacy on their vehicles (bumper stickers, license plates, etc). If the students didn’t sign the agreement, they were not given a parking pass.
Drake told NBC,
We are not issuing a judgment on the flag, but know that not allowing it at CHS supports a peaceful educational environment in the building. Continued racial friction suggests that lifting the ban of this particular symbol would cause significant disruption at the school. | <urn:uuid:38e929dd-002a-4632-998f-48b9c0ea7c9c> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://blameebro.com/2015/09/22/va-high-school-students-suspended-for-wearing-confederate-flag-photo/ | 2016-10-22T21:39:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719045.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00205-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.98181 | 303 | [

In an effort to help organizations develop mobile applications that have security baked-in from the start, IBM has announced a series of static application security testing tools for Android.
There are more than 5 billion mobile devices in the world, and according to a recent IBM study, when addressing the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) phenomenon, 55% of CIOs said that mobile security has become their top concern. It’s just not feasible to ban personal devices in the workplace.
The newest addition to IBM’s Security AppScan portfolio aims to address mobile needs by allowing organizations to develop mobile apps with security from the start and throughout its lifecycle.
In an announcement, Big Blue noted that beyond the traditional threats - for example, a hacker could perform a SQL injection or scripting attack on the applications - mobile applications also come under attack from malware and phishing, or scanning QR codes with malicious scripts.
Additionally, mobile applications have vulnerabilities specific to mobile devices because they often store sensitive data that can be leaked to malicious applications. This data, once stored locally, typically is outside the protection of the corporate security programs. Thus, the new AppScan analysis capabilities are there to help developers find these vulnerabilities before they become a problem.
“Providing clients with the ability to scan mobile applications for vulnerabilities - including applications developed in-house and outsourced is the next step of our mobile strategy,” said Marc van Zadelhoff, vice president of Strategy and Product Management, IBM Security Systems.
“With more than 120,000 of our own employees accessing IBM's network through mobile devices, we have had to focus heavily on developing a way for employees to work safely and securely.”
The latest version of AppScan has full integration with IBM’s QRadar Security Intelligence platform, a new Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) analyzer, as well as integration points with IBM’s IPS and SiteProtector.
AppScan will be available later this quarter. | <urn:uuid:f8591971-a6b7-4236-b562-209acfd1adc8> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.securityweek.com/ibm-releases-new-tools-secure-mobile-applications | 2016-10-24T01:43:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719463.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00267-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.94416 | 408 | [

Eddie Adams from Torrance: violentsalvation: "When I heard the results of the election I did cry," said Alicia Brown, a former marijuana addict who has been clean for 17 years.So let's continue to trample other people's rights.Besides, legalizing and taxing marijuana would (in theory at least) provide more money for addiction treatment.
slayer199: "Addiction is a public health problem," said Schut.Ignoring the fact that marijuana is not physically addictive I'll agree that it's a public health issue...so let's treat it as such and instead of locking people up and destroying their lives with a criminal record, treat them for it...you know. Like Portugal.

The Eleventh Panchen Lama Bainqen Erdini Qoigyijabu held a Buddhist ceremony here in the Yonghegong Lamasery on Wednesday, receiving worship from 30 Living Buddhas from northwest China's Ga nsu and Qinghai provinces and meeting a visiting Buddhist delegation from Mongolia.
During the ceremony, the Panchen Lama received the hada, a longpiece of silk used as a greeting gift among Tibetan and Mongolian nationalities, presented by the Living Buddha, Mongolian Lamas, and monks of the Yonghe Lamasery, and he also extended head-touching blessings to them.
When receiving religious homage paid by the Living Buddhas, thePanchen Lama called on Buddhist monks and religious believers to carry on the fine tradition of loving the motherland and religion,and make their own contribution to national and ethnic unity and the motherland's prosperity.
When meeting the Mongolian Buddhist delegation, the Panchen Lama specially expressed his sincere welcome for the delegation, saying that he hopes the Buddhist exchanges can further consolidate the friendship between the two countries. He also extended his wishes for their smooth visit in China.

I was given a problem, which was to show that two functions are equal almost everywhere, where one function is measurable and the other is not.
My problem is that the set where the equality fails is not measurable, although it is a subset of a set of measure zero (the measure space is not complete). Thus, I feel like I'm trying to prove a contradiction, because by definition, the set where the equality fails should be of measure zero. How do you show this?
I've looked around, and I read somewhere that the set where the equality fails doesn't have to be of measure zero, as long as it's a subset of a set of measure zero, but no proof was given. I'm assuming it was a modified version of the definition I was given. Intuitively, it makes sense ... but is there an actual proof for this?
P.S. In case you want more details, the measurable function was the constant function 0, and the non-measurable function was the characteristic/indicator function (where the value is 1 on the non-measurable set).
(and I was told this way as well )A nonmeasurable set is considered null if it is a subset of a null measurable set. Some references require a null set to be measurable; however, subsets of null sets are still negligible for measure-theoretic purposes.
@Drexel : the OP has a problem with the definition of null-measure, your sequence of propositions is not precise enough. Or so I guess.
Because you precisely can't talk about the measure of a non-measurable set. Even if its measure is globally 0, it's not correct to write the measure of this set.
But for our convenience, I think it's admitted that if a set is included in a set of null measure, then its measure is 0 (thanks to the sub-additivity of the measure, we have the right intuition)
@Drexel: There was no specific measures/measure space, and in fact, the example you gave me is exactly why I'm having trouble, because the in your example is the non-measurable set that's a subset of a measure zero set. In any case, thank you! You basically confirmed my doubts of the validity of the question I was given.
@Moo: So, basically we can sort of abuse measurability by saying that non-measurable sets that are subsets of measure zero sets are also measure zero? (at least according to wiki and whoever told you)
Suppose is a measure space then there exists a -algebra and a measure such that and is complete.
This completness property is exactly what we want to have to be able to hand-wave a.e. differences, however not all measures have it: The Borel -algebra on has elements, while there are subsets of Lebesgue measure zero. So Lebesgue measure restricted to the former is not complete, and it's one of the reasons we wanto to extend this measure.
Basically what you're being asked to prove is one of the reasons why we want our measures to be complete, they behave weirdly otherwise.
Thanks! I was thinking about that also, extending the -algebra to be complete, and thus it would be measure zero.
I found out that our teacher gave us a different definition from what I've been reading, and it works for that (basically f=g a.e. if the complement of a set where it works has measure zero). But what he's been saying is what I've been reading, hehehe. Very sorry to cause all this trouble

42% guessing how much money they'll need in retirement
Two just-released surveys find that a record number of workers have lost faith in their ability to afford retirement.
The 2011 Retirement Confidence Survey, conducted by the nonpartisan Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI), the American Savings Education Council and Mathew Greenwald and Associates, found that more than a quarter of workers are "not at all confident" about having enough money to live comfortably once they retire. That is the highest level of pessimism among respondents in the two decades EBRI has been conducting the survey.
People are doubtful because of the unknown. Forty-two percent of those polled said they're just guessing how much they will need in retirement.
In a second survey, half said they didn't think it was possible that a typical middle-income family could save for a secure retirement. In that same survey by Country Financial, which provides insurance and retirement planning services, 43 percent of respondents said they had no confidence in their current retirement savings plans. And yet, the same percentage said that in this economy, they have had to decrease the amount they are putting away for this eventuality.
The results of those surveys probably don't surprise you. It's part of the constant drumbeat that we all need more money to live an idyllic retirement.
But as EBRI points out in interpreting its survey numbers, perhaps it's long overdue that we redefine what retirement means when weighed against high unemployment rates; politicians who can't balance the federal budget; state and local government fiscal crises; high health-care costs; lower investment returns, and, most important, the fact that people are living longer, putting pressure on Social Security and Medicare.
We are entering an age of the new normal for transitioning from work to retirement, the authors of the EBRI retirement survey said.
"People's expectations need to come closer to reality so they will save more and delay retirement until it is financially feasible," said Jack VanDerhei, EBRI research director and co-author of the retirement report.
VanDerhei hit on the key word when it comes to retirement planning - expectation. Certainly many people could save more, but what if they can't or won't?
In the new normal for retirement, here are the rules:
l Work longer or don't retire at all. I've heard a lot of people who haven't a clue what they need to retire comfortably announce they are going to retire early nonetheless. That is just nonsense. That kind of thinking will have you broke and living in your kid's house in the basement or in a back room in no time.
For many, the new normal is giving up on the notion of retiring at an age south of 65 and living large. Twenty percent of workers in the EBRI survey say they now intend to retire at an older age than they had planned. But you also need to plan on the fact that you might not be able to delay retirement. Almost half of current retirees in the EBRI survey said they retired earlier than expected, mainly because of a health problem or disability. | <urn:uuid:75014bcb-a35f-4827-836e-14b2979eaa7e> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/03/16/AR2011031604409.html?wprss=rss_business/personalfinance | 2016-10-26T04:19:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720615.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00391-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973873 | 628 | [

Birthdays: Nov 22 – Dec 21
Planetary Ruler: Jupiter
Stones: Amethyst, Turquoise
Keywords: Seeker, Explorer, Traveller, Understanding and Believer
Profile & Characteristics — The Centaur-Archer is associated with Chiron, the wise centaur of Greek mythology, and some say with Artemis, the Lady of Wild Beasts and goddess of the hunt. Half-man and half-horse, the centaur points a bow and arrow straight up to the heavens, symbolic of aiming for a direction, goal or target. Sagittarians usually have more than one objective or destination that they are aiming for and prefer to follow their own course unhampered by any type of restrictions. They’re a dual sign with their feet on the ground and their head angled toward the heavens. Their earthly animal side is drawn to the open road, where they relish speeding on a quest for adventure and knowledge. Luckily, they’re blessed with foresight that verges on the prophetic. That protects them — to an extent — from misadventure.
Whether they’re running a race, arguing a case or teaching, they live for self-expression and desire diverse outlets to exert their spirited energy. They are enthusiastic, gregarious, generous and cheerful. But watch out: Their lightheartedness and penchant for exaggeration can be misleading. When they project their thoughts and knowledge in earnest, their listeners learn. It’s the spirit of the human upper half of the centaur that yearns to know all the answers and to find the truth that will set us free. And it’s in their altruistic nature to share what they’ve learned with others. Experience and embarrassment will temper their tendency to be recklessly outspoken and tactless.
Love & Feelings — Their frank honesty, wisdom and sincerity makes them great counselors, but they most enjoy being able to talk with others of equal or greater brain power, regardless of who they are.
Sagittarius’ love for diversity extends to romance. They’re nervous about commitment. They want to be with someone who’s pioneering, courageous, exciting, enthusiastic and up-to-speed intellectually and energetically.
They could meet their type among firemen, military personnel, the police force, manufacturers, metal workers, explorers, engineers, mechanics, surgeons, in hardware stores, hat departments, theaters, casinos, sports arenas or amusement parks.
Sexual Behaviors & Performance — Sexually, Sagittareans tend to be versatile.
Sex is rarely an intense experience with them, they often reach orgasm too quickly, however they will be the first to try a new position. Sagittarean tops are masters at giving erotic massages – both oral and manual. Their tongue can be a wicked instrument and when combined with lips they are able to provide undescrivable pleasure.
Trying new things and new places enchants the wanderlust in Sagittarean bottoms. They like the outdoors, freaking out if you are inside a tent or camper. They like to tease their partner orally to the point of losing control. They usually don’t mind if their partner reaches orgasm before they do, as they are good at recharging them and going for seconds. They are generous and accepting lovers and thrive in becoming experts at satisfying. Their favorite sexual position: all as long as it’s naked.
Health Characteristics — Sagittarius has dominion over the hips and thighs, body areas intended for locomotion. Getting outside and running, walking, cycling or skating will help clear thoughts and release nervous tension.
Sagittarius gastronomic tastes and propensity toward overindulgence could take its toll on the liver, the most vulnerable organ, not to mention expand the figure. Substitute olive and other vegetable oils for saturated fat, moderate alcohol intake, increase dietary fiber, eat lots of plant foods and take antioxidants to stay in top shape. Finally, precautions with throat should be taken.
In The Work Place — Sagittarius might choose to work independently or on a free-lance basis, while trying to incorporate work with travel, variety, and flexibility.
They may explore many different careers before settling on one or two and establishing a priority of service to others. They could excel in fields related to communications, education, publishing, the judicial system, politics, sports, art, design, theology, finances, real estate, nursing, nutrition, health food, farming, veterinary science and travel. | <urn:uuid:7f81a8f1-cebe-4a3d-be09-a4251fff5ed5> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://gaydaymagazine.wordpress.com/horoscope/sagittarius/ | 2016-10-26T04:10:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720615.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00391-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.924228 | 931 | [

My seven-year-old daughter has been scrapbooking since she was about four. When she first started helping me construct pages, she’d be in charge of placing stickers and stamps on various layouts. She also had a say in what photos to feature on the page and assisted by doodling on some of the journaling blocks.
However, now that she is older she can design her own layouts. Thankfully, I discovered sticky back scrapbook paper, so putting together an entire page design herself is not nearly as challenging any more. Even if you don’t have kids, most scrapbookers know how messy adhesive products can be. Working with self adhesive scrapbook paper is so much more convenient, especially if you are working with young children.
Sticky back paper is readily available online and at scrapbook supply shops. It comes in an array of shapes, colors, and sizes. You can also find self adhesive photo mats, as well as 8 1/2 x 11 sheets that you can use to print out clip art on your home computer. I also love working with self adhesive vellum. Given vellum’s transparent nature it’s often hard to find adhesives that don’t show through, but with the self adhesive version, even young kids can design layouts using the specialty paper without making a huge mess in the process.
In fact, it is possible to create an entire scrapbook using nothing but self adhesive paper and embellishments. In addition to sticky back traditional, cotton, and mulberry paper, you can also find self adhesive photo frames, colorful charms fitting for a variety of themed layouts, as well as self adhesive twill and letters to spice up page titles and journaling blocks. It really doesn’t get much more convenient.
Some may argue that self adhesive scrapbook products are not ideal for all layouts. However, if you are working with children or you are a beginner looking for ways to minimize dealing with messy glue and maximize the creative aspect of scrapbooking, then I would highly recommend experimenting with sticky back memory book embellishments. | <urn:uuid:e499085b-0a99-4585-857b-718a63b68009> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://www.families.com/blog/making-scrapbooking-easy | 2016-10-27T07:03:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721142.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00453-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961332 | 433 | [

Renowned rapper Snoop Dogg recently visited Jamaica, immersed himself in Rastafarian culture, recorded a reggae album called “Reincarnated” with producers Diplo and Major Lazer, and redubbed himself Snoop Lion in the process. But he reassures longtime fans that it’s not permanent. “Snoop Lion is the moniker that I will use when I make reggae music,” says the artist, whose raspy, weed-weathered voice perfectly fits the genre. He adds, “When I do rap music, I will continue to be Snoop Dogg — I can’t get rid of something that it took 21 years to create!” He took director Andy Capper and a film crew along on his transformational trip for a film, also titled “Reincarnated,” that opens today.
Musically speaking, there was probably no more prolific place than Jamaica in the 1960s and ’70s, right?
I totally agree. And that’s what I’m searching for — that same kind of feeling, that same kind of aura. And I feel like by me jumping in the reggae realm, and pushing this movement again, it will put some attention on those great artists who did have control of the music industry at one point.
At 41, what spiritual truths did you learn in Jamaica?
Just to live my life a different way. I always knew what to do — I just didn’t know how to do it. So I was given a little bit more clarity on what to do and how to do it. And it’s not to be talked about — it’s to be shown. Down there, they told me that I was a light, and it was time to let that light shine.
What was clouding your light until now?
I don’t know if it was the people I was around, or my upbringing. But then I was a part of the problem, too, because I’m hard-headed. I like doing it a certain way, and it’s my way or no way. So sometimes, you’ve got to learn to relinquish the power and let others think and move for you, because you know you make bad decisions. So that’s what I was able to do on this.
In the film, you visit Tuff Gong studios, then jump into a tiny Tivoli Gardens studio with local musicians. Was the visit that spontaneous?
Everything that you see happened right on the spot. A lot of it was not scripted. It was happening as we were filming. That’s why we were documenting every moment, because that’s how magic happens for us as musicians.
What did you learn from Diplo and Major Lazer?
Umm ... that I could sing? Heh heh. I’m a rapper, but I learned that I could actually sing! | <urn:uuid:4410b6df-c5e6-4c72-a45a-f6e38d21eb47> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://archives.sfexaminer.com/sanfrancisco/snoop-dogg-goes-on-rastafarian-journey-to-become-snoop-lion-in-reincarnated/Content?oid=2320852 | 2016-10-28T10:49:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721606.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00515-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979702 | 625 | [

A Note from Fatty: Be sure to check in tomorrow, when I will be launching the contest where you can fight cancer and win the Orbea Orca / Diva with the Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 build. This bike is a work of art (click the thumbnail to the right for a larger view of the bike). Very fast, light, responsive, and technically-advanced art. Rideable art that retails for $9600. That your riding friends will be jealous of forever and ever, and rightly so.
So, like I said: Check back tomorrow. And bring your wallet.
Another Note from Fatty: Team Fatty members (all cities), you’ll be able to work toward winning this bike by getting people to donate to your LiveStrong Challenge page. So start bugging your friends and family now and tell them to start donating right now. All donations made to your account starting last Friday count toward your chances of winning this bike.
For each of the past twelve years, I’ve signed up for the Leadville 100. I’ve started all twelve times, and I’ve finished all twelve times (stories here, here, and here, just for example). I’ve been as fast as 9:13, and as slow as 11:40. This race is one of my very favorite annual traditions. If, for instance, I had to give up my birthday and Father’s Day to go to Leadville, it would be a very easy trade. I’d throw in Halloween and Thanksgiving, too. And Arbor day.
But here’s a little surprise I wasn’t planning to reveal until after this year’s race: I’m currently in very good shape. I weigh about 161 pounds and am currently riding with the fast guys in my group. Last Saturday as we rode together, Kenny said I was climbing stronger than I ever have before.
The weight loss has been easy this year: my interest in food is way down. Evidently, I’m only a stress eater up to a certain level of stress. Past that, I start to forget about food.
And the “fast” part has come easily this year, too. My two hours on a bike every day has become more than a fun way to exercise and be with my friends; it’s become a pressure release valve. I’ve been riding angry, to good effect.
My descending skills have improved dramatically over the past season, too. In a race that includes several multiple-mile descents, that could buy me several important minutes.
Add in an extremely light and responsive bike — my Gary Fisher Superfly Singlespeed — and I’ve got myself a recipe for a fast Leadville 100. Certainly not in under nine hours, but quite possibly under 9:30. And on a singlespeed, that’s not half bad.
But I just don’t see how I can go.
I’ve always made a four-day trip out of the Leadville 100. Leave Utah (or Washington for a couple years) on Thursday, hang out in Leadville on Friday, race on Saturday, come home on Sunday.
Theoretically, I could shorten this to an extremely tightly-scheduled (and exhausting) Friday-Saturday trip. But the fact is, the annual Leadville 100 trip stopped being mostly about the race a long time ago — I’d say about 70% of why I like to be there is to catch up with old friends and spend a couple days wandering around the town being a bike bum.
And there is just no possible way I can leave Susan for four days — or even two days — right now. The truth is, last Saturday I had a difficult time leaving her for six hours. Sometimes she needs me — and only me. And sometimes I just need to be with her. True, she spends about 20-22 hours of most days sleeping now, but when she wakes up, she calls for me. And I need to be there.
I guess it says how much I love this race, though, that in spite of the realities of my situation, I still play through the possible scenarios, trying to find the path that lets me go to Leadville without feeling like a total heel.
In my heart I know there’s no such path. But my head’s still looking for it.
And I guess that at least a piece of me thinks I can still go, because when friends ask whether I’m going to Leadville, I say, “I’m at about 10-90 right now.”
But that 10% chance — which is in all honesty more like a 3% chance — is enough for me to keep training like I’m all in.
I know: it’s just a race, and it’s not as important as taking care of Susan and my family right now.
Still: when you’ve done something every single year for a dozen years, missing it for the first time isn’t easy. | <urn:uuid:b50b1cc6-732c-458f-b739-311ed2fcaf98> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.fatcyclist.com/2009/08/02/unlucky-13/ | 2016-10-28T10:17:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721606.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00515-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961473 | 1,074 | [

Silver Oxide (SR) and Alkaline batteries (LR) are commonly used in watches, clocks, timers, calculators, laser pointers, toys, and LED "blinkies". Batteries that meet the IEC 60086-3 standards for watch batteries carry a "W" suffix. The functional differences between silver oxide and alkaline are:
- Silver oxide batteries have a 50% - 100% greater capacity, meaning they last up to twice as long as alkaline batteries.
- Silver oxide has a relatively slow declining voltage during discharge compared to alkaline, which is preferable for light meters used in cameras and digital calipers. Silver oxide provides 1.55 volts, while alkaline provides 1.5 volts.
- Silver oxide batteries have superior leakage resistance, meaning they're more corrosion resistant.
SR44 silver oxide batteries can be used to replace the following: AG13/SG13, LR44/LR154, 6135-99-792-8475 (NSN)(alkaline), 6135-99-651-3240 (NSN)(S), A76/S76/EPX76, 157/303/357, 1128MP, 208-904, A-76, A613, AG14,AG-14, CA18, CA19, CR44, D76A, G13A, G13-A, GDA76, GP76A, GPA7, GPA75, GPA76, GPS76A, KA, KA76, AG76, L1154, L1154C, L1154F, L1154G, L1154H, LR44G, LR44GD, LR44H, MS76H, PX76A, PX675A, RPX675, RW82, SB-F9, V13G, 357A batteries. All have dimensions of 11.6 mm diameter and 5.4 mm height. The alkaline varieties have mAh from 110-150 and the silver oxide varieties have mAh of 170-200. | <urn:uuid:bdb89deb-87a7-4d3c-b42a-cea9f5fe634b> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://www.batteries.com/collections/sr44 | 2016-10-28T10:14:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721606.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00515-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.836056 | 425 | [

when i was still working for my former employer, late october and november was always the worst part of the year. the reason for this is that management would make a promise to upper management that we would publish x number of books that year. however, books would always slide further and further down the schedule, and by 4th quarter, it would always be a struggle to hit that number (sometimes it would be a struggle to even get close). consequently, every year we would end up in a mad dash to push as many titles out the door as possible before year-end. because of the nature of the schedule, this inevitably meant my department would be working long hours in october and november. (other departments would feel the crunch earlier or later, depending on their place in the workflow.)
now that i'm freelance, and am not currently doing any work for that company, i didn't figure i would be hit by the big november crunch this year. yet, here i find myself working on two assignments for two different publishers, and both are quite adamant that it all must be finished by the end of the month. for one of these assignments, i know the timing is a coincidence: the product just came out, and they need the book on the shelves ASAP. for the other assignment, i don't really know why it must be completed in such a hurry, but i suspect it's a scheduling and budgeting issue, because there's nothing remotely time-sensitive about the subject matter. (in other words, i think i got stuck in some other company's crunch.)
what this all means is that over the next couple weeks, i'm going to be busting my ass trying to get all my editing done. yes, i'll even be working furiously over the thanksgiving holiday weekend. getting it all done in time is an achievable goal—otherwise i wouldn't have agreed to take both assignments—but it does mean i won't have a lot of spare time until december.
as such, i'll probably be neglecting this blog somewhat over the next couple weeks, though i'll try to at least pop regularly. on the plus side, however, i'll have a lot of money in my checking account come december.¶ | <urn:uuid:0ac7c10a-52b2-4352-a15f-36f944f03724> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://blog.animalswithinanimals.com/2006/11/crunch-time.html | 2016-10-21T21:53:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988718309.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183838-00009-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.985097 | 462 | [

Star of Bethlehem
Was the star that led the three wise men to the infant Jesus a miracle or a normal astronomical event? Like many other planetariums, the Houston Museum of Natural Science has been telling the story of the Christmas star for years, exploring the possibilities that it was a comet or a meteor. But recently discovered information has raised some questions about those theories, which are detailed in Star of Bethlehem. See a re-creation of the night sky as it was seen at the time of the birth of Jesus, while experts take a go at the competing theories. 12:30 and 3 p.m. daily. Through January 4. One Hermann Circle Drive. For information, call 713-539-4629 or visit www.hmns.org. $7 to $8.

Finding new opportunities in reviving classic products.
Before it went out of business in 1983, Narragansett was the quintessential beer of New England. During its heyday in the 1950s through the 1970s, Narragansett was the official beer sponsor of the Boston Red Sox. At the start of every broadcast, longtime Red Sox announcer Curt Gowdy would greet fans with the company's tag line, "Hi, neighbor! Have a 'Gansett." The beer even had a memorable cameo in the movie Jaws.
Mark Hellendrung, a native Rhode Islander and former president of Nantucket Nectars, had fond memories of Narragansett. He also happened to be looking for a new business venture. In 2005, Hellendrung and a group of investors relaunched Narragansett Brewing, bringing back a brand that had been out of existence for more than two decades.
Rohit Deshpande, a professor of marketing at Harvard Business School, says this is a perfect time to bring back old brands. Baby boomers have grown nostalgic for the brands they grew up with, while consumers of all ages have shown a willingness to pay more for products with a reputation for high quality, which legacy brands often have. Hence the return of, for example, Lilly Pulitzer and Mini.
Butterfields Candy is another regional favorite that has recently been given a new lease on life. Founded in 1924, its signature product, a hard candy called Peach Buds, was a well-loved treat throughout the South. The company abruptly closed its doors in 2009 after the owner fell ill, and the candies disappeared from store shelves. Dena Manning, the company's new owner, is confident Butterfields can make a comeback. Last year, she bought the company out of foreclosure and put Peach Buds back in production.
Acquiring an old brand does involve some legwork. If a brand has been extinct for a long time, it may require some detective work to determine exactly who maintains ownership of the brand. However, if the owner has no plans for it, then buying the rights to the brand should be a fairly straightforward negotiation. Of course, there may be other expenses to consider, such as outstanding debt or the cost of reestablishing operations. Manning ended up spending close to $200,000 to renovate Butterfields's factory, which had fallen into disrepair.
As Narragansett has revamped its brand, it has attracted a slightly different demographic than in the past. In its original incarnation, Narragansett was a mass-market beer. Today, Narragansett primarily attracts drinkers who prefer craft beers as an alternative to brands such as Budweiser and Coors. Its customers tend to be relatively young, under 45. At first, Hellendrung attempted to draw in more middle-aged, blue-collar consumers, but he soon realized that demographic was less willing to try new beers. "It's the opposite of what we thought when we started," he says. "The younger demographic is so much more experimental. For a party, a young guy might buy six different kinds of great beer. The older guy will buy a 30-pack of Bud Light."
That's not surprising, according to Deshpande. For old brands to regain new life, he says, they must be relevant to contemporary customers. As a result, they may have to undergo a significant departure from their original approach. For instance, Old Spice, though not defunct, had languished until the brand was retooled to reach younger consumers. Though tweaking a long-standing brand's identity is a significant challenge, entrepreneurs who acquire old brands often have an advantage over the brands' previous owners, says Deshpande. "They're not prisoners of history," he says. "They can come up with fresh ideas and rethink what the brand could be."
Alterations may be especially necessary if a brand's reputation has taken a hit. Narragansett, for instance, suffered from the perception that the quality of its beer went down after Falstaff Brewing, the previous owner, moved production out of Rhode Island and into Indiana in 1982. When Hellendrung relaunched the company, he encountered middle-aged consumers who associated the brand with cheap quality and remembered being betrayed by the previous owners. "They really had a bad taste in their mouth, living through that experience," he says. "That's been the group that is most difficult to reach." But the company's frequent attendance at beer festivals and other events has helped combat that perception, he adds.
It's a delicate balance, however, as brands must keep some connections to their pasts to maintain authenticity. Both Narragansett and Butterfields emphasize, on their websites and in their packaging, their products' faithfulness to their companies' original recipes. The owners even recruited former employees to ensure that their products' original quality would be upheld. "Our candy is still made the same way as it was in 1924, and we don't want to change that," says Manning.
At Narragansett, Hellendrung hired the original company's former brewmaster, Bill Anderson, to ensure the authenticity of the new beer. It seems to be working. Last year, the Brewers Association, an industry trade group, ranked Narragansett as one of the top 50 breweries in the U.S.
If at first you don't succeed...someone else might. Here's how new ownership helped these brands find success the second time around.
Rather than competing against the big breweries, Narragansett has found its niche among craft beer enthusiasts.
As its customers are now mainly adults, Butterfields's candies are sold in gourmet and specialty shops.
Lilly dresses are again a must-have for the preppy socialite set, but the brand has been expanded to include bedding, menswear, and stationery.
The iconic car brand announced its return with a series of innovative ads playing up the virtues of being small.

I started having The Dream as soon as I started dating after Mark died. The Dream is some version of me cheating on Mark. I wake up feeling sad and needlessly guilty and questioning my decisions.
The Dream used to be bad enough when I was just dating and before William and I were really committed to each other. Then The Dream was just cheating. When William and I made the commitment and after we got married, The Dream took on a new twist. Not only was I cheating on Mark, but I have to figure out how to tell him I'm choosing William.
My marriage with Mark wasn't always easy and was almost always very stressful. I have a very different relationship and marriage with William and even in waking hours, I sometimes feel guilty about how different my life is now. In The Dream, I have the horrible feeling of knowing that I want to be with William, trying to explain my marriage (because even in The Dream, Mark was dead, it wasn't that I was cheating on him when we were married, so he doesn't understand how I could have gotten married again), and knowing that I have to break Mark's heart.
I think the pregnancy hormones are making The Dream come to the forefront again. I'm not getting much sleep. And when I do sleep, I often have The Dream. | <urn:uuid:6c9c2490-d011-4dd6-a47c-aee2b857ccbb> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://sherrycarrsmith.blogspot.com/2009/09/dream.html | 2016-10-24T05:07:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719468.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00133-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.993933 | 268 | [

Start-up entrepreneurship stories usually focus on taking risk, even though the best owners are excellent risk controllers rather than wild risk takers. And the focus is invariably on financial risk and overlooks personal relationship risk that accompanies fast-growth ventures.
For example, an entrepreneur’s venture falls apart and so does their marriage. Or they struggle to relate to old friends or find new ones who understand the demands of fast-growth entrepreneurship. Or they spend less time with their children and try to compensate with material possessions.
Or your business partner’s wife wants the venture to pay bigger dividends and their husband to work fewer hours, and you want to reinvest profits and put everything into the business. The relationship with your business partner breaks down and they go from being a close friend to a ‘former colleague’.
What’s your view?
- Does fast-growth entrepreneurship take a big toll on personal relationships?
- Do such business owners often struggle to relate to friends with corporate jobs?
- What is your best advice for keeping relationships strong as your venture grows?
I have interviewed many failed entrepreneurs over the years who lament breakdowns in personal relationships. A failed venture rocks their confidence and leaves them wracked with doubt, feeling isolated, and wanting to withdraw from relationships with family, friends and colleagues. They lack emotional support to start again and recover from business failure.
Or, for a time, they were seduced by the trappings of success, became obsessed with their venture and overconfident. Their relationships took a backseat as the venture hurtled along, even though it was built on the owner’s foundation of a loving family and strong friendships. Inevitably, the business and the owner’s personal relationships failed.
Not all relationships follow this path. Some entrepreneurs have the same life partner for years, their children work in the business, and the venture becomes a crucial part of the family’s identity and a reason to bring people together and understand family values.
Many do not. Several readers emailed me after last week’s blog ‘Entrepreneur failures can be heroes too’ and explained how a struggling venture damaged their personal relationships.
One reader said: “[The blog] really hit the nail on the head for me. I have been through this before and am now going through it again with the launch of a new start-up, especially with regards to the ‘other’ stresses of friendships and marital relations. Glad to hear I’m not the only one.”
I cannot presume to give relationship advice. But I know that strong personal relationships are critical to starting a venture, being emotionally supported, and having family and friends who rally around you if the business fails, or help make your business success more meaningful.
As cold as it sounds, aspiring entrepreneurs should consider how they can control personal relationship risks, just as they plan to control financial risks. Here are some ideas:
1. Understand the risks
Start-up entrepreneurship can at times be an emotional rollercoaster, create odd working hours and different types of stress compared to those with full-time jobs. Relationship breakdowns can also be a business killer, as assets are sold during divorces and the owner is distracted for months. Understand the relationship stresses of fast-growth entrepreneurship before embarking on it.
2. Manage expectations
I suspect many problems arise because family and friends do not understand what entrepreneurship entails. They think you are strange working weekends or late at night, and wonder why you sometimes have cash flow problems, or go without at the start in the hope of cashing in at the end. Explain to loved ones what running a start-up venture is like, so they can know what to expect.
3. Don’t mix personal and business identities
Too often, the owner’s personal identity is wrapped up in their business identity. They take a failed venture incredibly personally and find it harder to recover and try again. It’s not easy, but having some separation between work and personal life – a challenge for many in business – is critical.
4. Find time
It’s easy to say start-up entrepreneurs need to spend more time with their life partner and children. But big sacrifices must be made when everything is on the line, resources are scarce, and people must be fed. Find a way to create time that also fits in with your venture. Working from home, for example, may help you work long hours and still have time with the kids, because hours are not wasted commuting or in useless meetings. I find working late at night creates more time on the weekend with family. Aim to become ruthlessly efficient so you have time for what matters most.
5. Have a plan B
So often, the biggest killer of personal relationships is financial stress. The business owner cannot pay the bills, their health suffers, and relationships implode. Think how you can control personal financial risk: enough money in reserve for six months; a partner with a steady job; manageable personal debt. And as defeatist as it sounds, know when to quit. Hopefully you won’t have to, but too many entrepreneurs persevere with underperforming ventures for too long, out of fear of failure or pride, when the smart move is to fail ethically, reinvest capital and start again.
6. Be prepared for success
Sometimes success is a bigger killer of personal relationships than failure. The venture takes off, the owner rakes in cash, and greed takes over. New people suddenly want to become your friend, you start to mix in different circles, old friends seem dull in comparison. You don’t realise what has happened until it is too late, and your success is empty and meaningless. In the pursuit of building wealth, you destroyed the most valuable assets. | <urn:uuid:12fd3ea3-f791-43ac-beb4-e74cbaa76f2c> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.canberratimes.com.au/small-business/the-venture/protect-your-best-assets-20120514-1ynt3 | 2016-10-24T05:06:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719468.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00133-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964065 | 1,197 | [

In a system of classifying ten household items, these can be categorized into groupings based on materials they are made from, uses, size, shape, etc. For example, in just the kitchen alone, a classification system could include large categories like: cookware, appliances, utensils, and then these can be subdivided by size, brand, materials they are made of, etc. With each subdivision of a category, one will eventually get very specific and the object itself will be named. For instance, a non-stick frying pan could be categorized as cookware, then placed into a category by brand name--then further categorized by material its made of--metal, then categorized by size, etc. In taxonomic classification, species are identified and named, according to specific characteristics. In terms of species, the system of binomial nomenclature is used, giving each organism a genus and a species name, based on Anton Von Leeuwenhoek's work. Larger groups are the Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species. Members within a species share similar characteristics and are capable of mating with one another.

With the unveiling of a new, more powerful Nintendo 3DS, it's not a surprise that Nintendo would want to announce a game that takes full advantage of the new device's specs. What we didn't expect, however, is the game they decided to announce for it.
Xenoblade Chronicles, the gigantic Wii RPG that almost didn't make it over to the West, is now being ported to the 3DS! This is a full port of the game, and as such requires the updated processing power of the New 3DS. Sorry current owners, for you it's upgrade or get out.
Iwata explained during the Nintendo Direct that a port of Xenoblade to 3DS was something that a lot of people in the company wanted to happen, but it wasn't possible until the system was enhanced to meet its needs. The New 3DS and New 3DS XL seem to be that device, so now we're getting portable open-world adventuring in the palms of our hands.
We love the idea of porting this classic to the 3DS, but we're wondering why the new 3DS is required for it. We would have taken a game with a few cuts in it for the current system as opposed to needing a new device to play this remake. We're hoping that "New 3DS exclusive" doesn't become the standard or people will get irked pretty fast.
Xenoblade 3DS is said to be launching in 2015, but we'll have more news on this game as it breaks. | <urn:uuid:30c1b1be-3f1d-420d-af26-0b4d448b0898> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://arcadesushi.com/xenoblade-chronicles-is-coming-to-new-3ds/ | 2016-10-25T07:04:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719960.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00195-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.985066 | 312 | [

Manchester United manager David Moyes has revealed Wayne Rooney could feature against West Ham United tomorrow.
The Red Devils striker missed United's clash with Stoke City in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday, but could now return to the team against the Hammers.
This will come as a boost to the Premier League champions as Rooney has been in remarkable form so far this season.
And without the injured Robin van Persie, Moyes will be hoping Rooney can take to the pitch at the Theatre of Dreams.
Speaking in his press conference before tomorrow's game, Moyes said: "Wayne has got a chance. So we will see how he is tomorrow."
Manchester United go into the game desperate for their first Premier League win at Old Trafford since November 10.
United currently trail league leaders Arsenal by 10 points, however can make up ground on the Gunners if they beat Sam Allardyce's team tomorrow.
Manchester United will be hoping to make it four straight wins in all competitions as they look to climb up the table.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 24, 2014) - Byliner, the leading digital reading service and top seller of e-shorts/singles, today introduced Byliner Explore, a new visual interface curated to help readers easily determine what to read next. Additionally, Byliner's new social features empower editors, writers, and readers to share their personal reading recommendations with each other via a variety of common social platforms.
Byliner offers more than 30,000 short stories from more than 1,500 of today's most acclaimed writers including Jon Krakauer, Margaret Atwood, Amy Tan and Susan Orlean for a low weekly or monthly price. Byliner selects stories according to rigorous editorial guidelines and each story takes anywhere from five minutes to two hours to read.
Byliner Explore Takes the Guesswork Out of What to Read Next
Byliner's new interface for the Web and iOS devices provides a beautifully streamlined and efficient way to discover new stories, every time. Byliner Explore emulates the visual appeal of the best magazine experience and hardcover book jacket to highlight its extensive collection of e-short content, helping readers anticipate what they can expect from a story and making their selection easier.
Byliner's editorial team also provides a brief recommendation for each story, similar to the "staff picks" insights at a local independent bookstore and a 'time to read' notation indicating how long it will take to read. Readers can scroll across a series of five interactive sections curated according to multiple categories:
- Editors' Picks - carefully chosen stories from Byliner's expert editorial team
- Trending - new stories that have the Byliner community buzzing
- Byliner Originals - exclusive content created only for Byliner
- Collections - a collection of stories supporting a specific topic
Weekly or Monthly - Readers Get to Choose
There are two versions of Byliner -- a $0.99 weekly curated experience and an all you can read, monthly version for $5.99. Byliner Weekly brings together 3-5 stories around a specific topic that are meant to be enjoyed in less than two hours. The monthly version of the service, which also includes the Weekly offering, provides unlimited access to the entire Byliner service.
Byliner also includes a Nightstand feature that allows readers to browse and save pieces to their 'virtual nightstand' for reading at a later time. The Nightstand feature even allows these stories to be read offline, be it during a subway commute, airplane ride or anywhere else without connectivity.
Byliner Empowers the Social Sharing of Inspiring Stories
One critical aspect to any online entertainment service -- including streaming popular video and music services -- is the ability for people to use their social networks and communities to share, discover and try out new content. Byliner is the first digital reading service that allows readers to share pieces of content with those in their social networks absolutely free for 24 hours. Be it Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or even email, this feature lets anyone who is subscribed to the service share stories that they think will entertain, educate and inspire their friends.
This increased social connectivity and toolset are the result of the recent Byliner acquisition of Everlapse, its team and technology. Byliner's expanded team will continue to focus helping readers "discover, read, and share" and thus better differentiate Byliner as the quality curator of great written content. The team plans to launch the Byliner service on Android later this month.
"Our collection of 30,000 stories presents a wealth of riches to Byliner readers but the challenge all consumers face is knowing where to start. We set out to assemble the best combination of recommendation engine, editorial guidance and social sharing tools to help solve that challenge," said Deanna Brown, President, Byliner. "Other reading services just offer you a warehouse full of books with no direction on how to find a great story, but we at Byliner carefully curate all of our content to ensure that you can always find the perfect story at the perfect time."
Byliner is a subscription reading service and digital publisher of award-winning short fiction and nonfiction. Named "One of the 10 Most Innovative Media Companies in the World" by Fast Company, Byliner works directly with the world's best authors to deliver great stories to readers. Subscribers get unlimited access to premium content from Byliner's by-invitation community of writers, including thousands of rarely-seen or exclusive stories from bestselling authors like Simon Winchester, Nick Hornby, Margaret Atwood, Jon Krakauer, Ann Patchett, Chuck Palahniuk, Alexandra Fuller, Richard Russo, Sebastian Junger, and many more.

Here is the description of the programme taken from the BBC Radio 4 website :
In 2004, a successful architect and his family mysteriously disappear from their home. Six years later five bodies are found in the cellar of their house. They are identified as Jonathan and Imogen Blake and their son, Matthew; Philip Gibson, who was on the missing person’s register and a woman, identity unknown. Forensics determine that not only were they murdered, but the time of death was 1926. Can audio files found with the bodies solve the mystery?
Rachel Weir ….. Nicola Walker
Jim Marquez ….. Rupert Graves
Phillip Gibson ….. Steven Mackintosh
Jonathan Blake ….. Anthony Calf
Imogen Blake ….. Jana Carpenter
Matthew Blake ….. Oscar Richardson
Mary Marston ….. Imogen McCurdy
Boy 1 …… Rohan Nijhawan
Boy 2 …… Ted Powell
Written and directed by Julian Simpson. Broadcast date : 7 January 2011
Please also read our Post on this programme, and availability of this programme to non-UK fans through the BBC iPlayer.
Update : 10 January 2011
On the BBC Radio 4 Drama message board, which you can access HERE, Julian Simpson had this to say about Nicola :
Nicola Walker is indeed a genius and she and I both hope we haven’t heard the last of Gruber, although I suspect she may draw the line at singing.
“Gruber” is a reference to Dr. Gruber, the role played by Nicola in The Listener (2008), with a German accent. The reference to singing was in response to another message in which it was suggested that Dr. Gruber should sing ‘Das Wandern ist des Müllers Lust’ live on R4!
Update : 11 January 2011
This radio programme is very similar to Fragments/Pleasant Green (2007), another Julian Simpson radio play which also had Nicola as a cast member (though in a less prominent role). That story also involved detectives trying to reconstruct past events using fragments of an audio tape whilst investigating a murder. So, following allegations made by others on the BBC Radio 4 Drama message board that Bad Memories was nothing more than a rip-off of the Japanese horror movie, The Ring, one of our contributors left the following message on 10 January 2011
If anything, I thought that Mr. Simpson was copying himself, in that Bad Memories is very similar to another one of his radio plays, Fragments/Pleasant Green (broadcast in 2007, in which Nicola Walker also had a role). Both stories featured detectives trying to solve a murder by using fragments of an audio tape to reconstruction past events. Though I think this “template” was done to better effect in “Bad Memories”.
Kudos to all the cast members of “Bad Memories”, well done folks!
Julian Simpson then logged the following response on 11 January 2011:
I do think I’m much more guilty of ripping myself off! I don’t think Bad Memories would have existed without Fragments and I think, if Bad Memories works, it’s because of the lessons I learned first time out.
Update : 29 January 2012
This programme won the Best Use of Sound in an Audio Drama award in the first annual BBC Audio Drama Awards. For a list of categories and winners, go HERE.
Update : 20 April 2012
BBC Radio 4 will be repeating this programme on Friday, 27 April 2012, at 21:00 GMT. You can listen to this programme via the BBC Radio iPlayer, which does not have any geographical limits. If you cannot tune in at that time, the programme will remain available on the BBC Radio iPlayer website for seven days thereafter. Don’t miss this opportunity to listen (either for the first time, or again) to this brilliant programme.
Julian Simpson, the writer and director of this radio play, also directed Nicola in Episodes 409 and 410 of Spooks and Episode 2 of Series 9 of New Tricks. Nicola has also appeared in other radio plays by Julian Simpson, Fragments/Pleasant Green (2007) and The Listener (2008).
Rupert Graves appeared in Episode 403 of Spooks and played the racist politician, William Sampson. He did not have any scenes with Nicola in that episode.
Steven Mackintosh is a regular cast member of Luther [TV]. Nicola appeared in Episode 104 of Luther. They did not have any scenes together. Steven also appeared in Inside Men [TV] where he played the husband of Nicola’s character.
Anthony Calf appeared in Gethesame [Stage], with Nicola (November 2008 to March 2009), though they did not share any scenes together.

One quality which fado must possess, as all guidebooks will attest, is saudade. I’ll begin my investigation of this magical word with a curious fragment from September 1928, in which the Spanish poet Miguel de Unamuno nestles the word ‘saudade’ among a selection of Spanish and Galician terms with which he wishes it to forge a poetic connection:
Morriña, saudade, iñor,
soleares, ay, Señor,
¿ cuándo el dia llegará ?
(untitled poem in Escritos de Unamuno sobre Portugal, Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, 1985)
The words the poet chooses all express a sense of longing for which the final line (‘Lord, when will the day arrive?’) provides a ‘translation’. It was not the first time Unamuno had sought to find connections between Spanish and Portuguese terms of longing; a poem from earlier the same year, entitled ‘Soidade + Saúde = Saudade’, attempted a poetic etymology that made much of the relationship between the Portuguese words of the title and the Spanish words soledad (solitude) and salud (health). In doing so the poet was tapping into a debate that had long been underway in Portugal about the correspondence, or lack thereof, between saudade and words from other languages. Aniceto dos Reis Gonçalves Viana, writing a critique of Hugo Schuchardt’s Die Cantes Flamencos in 1882, had the following to say on the relationship:
The Spanish word soledad is given [by Schuchardt] as corresponding perfectly in its sense to the Portuguese saudade … Looking at the soleá, the word soledad does not correspond to saudade, but rather to ‘solitude’, solidão.
Saudade is nothing like this. Saudade is ‘the sorrow of not having enjoyed that which was there to be enjoyed; it is the vehement but resigned desire to enjoy a thing we were deeply attached to; and also the yearning to see, or be in the company of, someone from whom we have reluctantly been parted’.
(Quoted in Dalila L. Pereira da Costa & Pinharanda Gomes, Introdução à Saudade: Antologia Teórica e Aproximação Crítica (Porto, Lello & Irmão, 1976), p. 10.)
Viana then goes on to liken saudade to the German Sehnsucht, the Icelandic saknadr, the Swedish saknad and the Danish Sawn. As for an English equivalent, he can only settle for a phrase he finds in Henry Fielding’s Tom Jones: ‘The remembrance of past pleasure affects us with a kind of tender grief, like what we suffer for departed friends; and the ideas of both may be said to haunt our imagination.’
Aubrey Bell, writing some twenty years later, states that ‘the word cannot be translated exactly, but corresponds to the Greek πόθος, Latin desiderium, Catalan anyoranza, Galician morriña, German Sehnsucht, Russian тоска (pron. taská). It is the “passion for which I can find no name”’. (Aubrey F.G. Bell, Portuguese Literature (Oxford University Press, 1970), p. 135, fn. 1.) Interestingly, Bell, like Viana before him, does not attempt a single English term for saudade, relying on a list of words in other languages and a quotation from George Gissing’s The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft. Actually, this is a misquotation; the original reads ‘a passion to which I can give no name’. The difference is immaterial yet it is worth remembering the original phrase within its context as it is most appropriate for a consideration of the relationship between loss and desire that saudade is supposed to evoke. Ryecroft’s place of longing has therefore been given its own entry.
The assumption by Bell seems to be that the foreign words are translatable amongst themselves (or are, at least, in ‘correspondence’ with each other) but not into English and that an allusion to a literary work about memory and meditation on loss is the nearest that we, as English speakers, might come to an understanding of saudade. A chain of references is set up through which a contemporary reader coming upon Bell’s footnote of 1922 (probably via references to Bell in later works) is led to Gissing’s fictional pastoralist Ryecroft and a whole set of methods of dealing with the past that in turn form a major defining aspect of modernity. Rodney Gallop provides us with yet more definitions:
In a word saudade is yearning: yearning for something so indefinite as to be indefinable: an unrestrained indulgence in yearning. It is a blend of German Sehnsucht, French nostalgie, and something else besides. It couples the vague longing of the Celt for the unattainable with a Latin sense of reality which induces realization that it is indeed unattainable, and with the resultant discouragement and resignation. All this is implied in the lilting measures of the fado, in its languid triplets and, as it were, drooping cadences.
(Rodney Gallop, ‘The Fado: The Portuguese Song of Fate’, The Musical Quarterly, Vol. 19, No. 2 (1933), pp. 211-2).
As these references increase, the need to negotiate a path through them – to find, perhaps, our own correspondence with the terms of reference – becomes ever more necessary; this is what Umberto Eco seems to drive at when he speaks of ‘translation as negotiation’. Svetlana Boym, for her part, likens saudade to the Czech litost, Russian toska, Polish tesknota and Romanian dor, and points out how each nation claims its term as untranslatable: ‘While each term preserves the specific rhythms of the language, one is struck by the fact that all these untranslatable words are in fact synonyms; and all share the desire for untranslatability, the longing for uniqueness. While the details and flavors differ, the grammar of romantic nostalgias all over the world is quite similar. “I long therefore I am” became the romantic motto.’ (Svetlana Boym, The Future of Nostalgia (New York: Basic Books, 2001), p. 13).
One might well wonder given all this, especially after being informed that saudade is one of the essential ingredients of fado music, if there was a line of thought to be traversed whereby the ‘untranslatability’ of saudade would mean the impossibility of the conditions to describe an appreciation of fado by a non-Portuguese speaker (which would not necessarily entail going as far as to declare the impossibility of appreciating ‘the music itself”, though to do so would help to push at what we really mean by ‘the music’) – the logic being that, if fado must contain saudade, and saudade cannot be translated, then how do we translate, or negotiate, our appreciation of the music? Picking at this line of thought would inevitably lead us to further questions. Does, or can, saudade mean the same for all Portuguese (the implication, after all, in so many texts)? Does it mean the same for other Portuguese speakers, for Brazilians, Angolans, Cape Verdeans? How might saudade be considered as another type of fencing-off? How, in the light of such reflections, do we understand loss and its expression as universal qualities? | <urn:uuid:5da91f11-0789-4ab0-8687-5a46a6cd6c0e> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://theplaceoflonging.com/2010/04/15/saudade/ | 2016-10-25T06:36:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719960.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00195-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.935021 | 1,700 | [

Unsure what to play on your Wii U? Ask Miyamoto!
Shigeru Miyamoto, the famed designer and producer at Nintendo, has elaborated on what he thinks are some of the Wii U’s most under-rated video games.
Speaking with Game Informer at last month’s E3 in Los Angeles, Miyamoto identified two particular titles on the Wii U which have been overlooked, in his opinion.
“I think personally Star Fox [Zero] is a really fun game if you sit down and play it.” said Miyomoto, stating that “it’s really, really fun for siblings to play it together.”
Going back to much less recent releases, Miyamoto also revealed that 2013’s “Pikmin is the kind of game that you have to play maybe three times to get the full effect, but you know, people don’t have a lot of time, so they just clear the stage and just move on.”
Senior product marketing manager of Nintendo of America Bill Trinen also backed Miyamoto up while talking to Game Informer, adding that “Pikmin 3 is the most amazing game on Wii U. It’s probably one of my favorite games in the last six or seven years.”

Things briefly got dangerous before Hannover hosted Wolfsburg on Tuesday, as a flare fired from the stands landed on the home team’s bench prior to kickoff.
The team’s substitutes left the dugout and appeared to be unhurt. The flare appeared to be shot from across the stadium by opposing fans.
Wolfsburg went on to rout the last-place home side 4-0, with Andre Schurrle netting a hat trick and Julian Draxler adding the fourth.

After the completion of the quest Scream Like a Symphony in the Hoarfrost Castle plugin for the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion you now have a series of quests to do to find staff members to fill various vacant positions at the Castle. The quest The Duellist is done to fill the position of blacksmith at the castle.
"Ignatius has recommended a man named Bodean Monsey as an ideal candidate for the blacksmith position at Hoarfrost Castle. He would provide repair and arms and armour trading services for the castle guardsmen and myself. According to Ignatius, Bodean is apprenticed at the Anvil Castle smithy, but feels somewhat limited there (perhaps because he is apparently already a very gifted smith)."
Go to the Dining Room and talk to Vilene. Vilene also says she will be able to function as your housekeeper and cook at Hoarfrost Castle.
On the Desk in Valgus' room is Valgus Hertarian's Diary. Reading it reveals the insecurities that will provoke him into challenging you to a duel. Return and speak to Valgus, choosing the following reply options as applicable in the conversation:
"You have the sunken eyes of a pig!"
"What woman would want a bald man?"
"Your cheeks sag like old sacks!"
Valgus will challenge you to an immediate duel in Anvil Castle Courtyard. Follow him out there, and kill him. He isn't waering any armour, so this shouldn't be too difficult if you are prepared.
Whether you kill Valgus in a duel or by ambushing him he has the following items on him: Duellist's Blouse with 6% Shield, Castle Anvil Key, Castle Anvil Interior Key, Valgus Hertarian's Key and a Fine Steel Cutlass. Your quest log will then update.
"Adviser Valgus Hertarian is dead. With him no longer standing over them, Bodean and Vilene are now free to leave Anvil Castle and come work for me at Hoarfrost Castle. I should give Bodean the news."
Go and speak to Bodean again. He thanks you, and says that he and Vilene will travel to Hoarfrost Castle and meet you there. Quest complete.
"With a retinue of guardsmen in residence, Steward Ignatius has suggested that we now approach people to fill the remaining staff positions at Hoarfrost Castle. He has ideal candidates in mind for each position, but I can talk to them in any order I wish. Ignatius seemed to have something else on his mind, but has refused to talk about it for now, saying we should resolve the staff situation first. Perhaps I should ask him about it later..."
Grand Designs starts after Scream Like a Symphony is finished, but you cannot progress any further with it at that point.
Shortly after completing the quests An Eye for an Eye, Fiery Devotion and The Duellist to fill Hoarfrost Castle's staff requirements, Grand Designs will update.
"All the staff positions Steward Ignatius and I discussed for Hoarfrost Castle are now filled. Perhaps now would be a good time to ask him what was on his mind earlier; what it was he refused to tell me until the staff situation was resolved. It sounded as if he considered it to be somewhat important."
Speak to Igantius. He tells you about a journal that was found, apparently belonging to Furius Hoarfrost, the orginal builder of the castle. He asks you to come to his room to collect it. This completes Grand Designs.
"Ignatius revealed what he was about to tell me earlier: a certain journal - relevant to the mysteries surrounding Hoarfrost Castle - had been found in the keep..."
By accompanying Ignatius back to his room in the Sleeping Quarters and speaking to him there, the final quest in the series Requiem for the Reluctant will start. | <urn:uuid:80aef678-9014-404a-abe4-56fca2d82b5a> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.infobarrel.com/The_Elder_Scrolls_IV_Oblivion_Plugin_Walkthrough_-_Hoarfrost_Castle_The_Duellist_and_Grand_Designs | 2016-10-27T10:53:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721268.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00319-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.966312 | 831 | [

Frank DiPascali is the latest figure in the Bernard Madoff world to face the judge.
DiPascali, 52, pled guilty to 10 criminal charges, including a plethora of fraud charges mail, wire, investment advisor, etc. not to mention international money laundering and perjury. As CFO, DiPascali was a key employee at the Madoff offices and admitted to helping his boss and others at the firm participate in a Ponzi scheme that hurt thousands of people.
DiPascali also confessed that he had known since the late 1980s that the transactions on Madoffs trading statements were so much baloney. It was all fake, he said, according to The Wall Street Journal. It was all fictitious. It was wrong and I knew it at the time.
Unfortunately Madoffs auditor, David Friehling, was willing to look the other way. He pleaded not guilty last month, but also waived his right to a grand jury, so a guilty plea may be on the way from him next time hes in court. | <urn:uuid:71197775-d099-4c07-b474-164dfe3277d7> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.accountingtoday.com/blogs/debits-credits/Madoff-Right-Hand-Man-Pleads-Guilty-51338-1.html | 2016-10-28T14:19:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988722653.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183842-00381-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.985876 | 214 | [

I was given a very competitive quote and spoke to a very helpful person. The electrician arrived in the required time and was very professional. The work was finished to a high standard. I would recommend Gray's Tradie Services to anyone who requires a tradesperson
Allan was punctual from quote to completion, reliable and well priced. We will be using him for other carpentry requirements in the near future and have no hesitation to recommend.

More and more facts about the San Bernardino terrorist attack continue to come out as law enforcement officials and the media do their jobs. An American citizen hooked up with the wrong people, took a trip, came back with a terrorist wife, and we know the rest of the murderous story. Liberals jumped quickly out the gate blaming the NRA and racism for what took place last week. It's all about not letting a crisis go to waste, you see. However, if we are going to play the blame game, there is indeed one group who is morally culpable for what took place last week and has blood on its intellectual hands: the ACLU.
The ACLU sued the New York Police Department over its 2007 report on the dangers of "homegrown" terrorism. JJ warned its readers about the danger posed by the ACLU's lawsuit earlier this year. JJ published this post on January 21, 2015:
The New York Post reported last week:
In top-secret talks to settle federal lawsuits* against the NYPD for monitoring mosques, the city is weighing a demand that it scrub from its Web site a report on Islamic terrorists, The Post has learned.
The groundbreaking, 92-page report, titled “Radicalization in the West: The Homegrown Threat,” angers critics who say it promotes “religious profiling” and discrimination against Muslims. But law-enforcement sources say removing the report now would come at the worst time — after mounting terror attacks by Islamic extremists in Paris, Boston, Sydney and Ottawa....
Sources familiar with the case confirmed that removal of the NYPD report is one of the major sticking points in settlement negotiations.
The report was the basis for the NYPD’s controversial “demographic unit” which specifically targeted Muslims. Also on the table are demands that the NYPD halt any ongoing surveillance in the Muslim community and that records of prior monitoring be expunged, sources said.
With what seems today like a crystal ball, the 2007 NYPD report identified an “emerging threat” — al Qaeda-inspired jihadists in the United States and abroad, hell-bent on attacking their host countries. “Radicalization is something the NYPD saw happening in Europe,” said the former NYPD official. “It was prescient in identifying this phenomenon and predicting it would increase.” Rest of article.
Here are some actual excerpts from the report:
The NYPD’s understanding of the threat from Islamic-based terrorism to New York City has evolved since September 11, 2001. While the threat from overseas remains, terrorist attacks or thwarted plots against cities in Europe, Australia and Canada since 2001 fit a different paradigm. Rather than being directed from al-Qaeda abroad, these plots have been conceptualized and planned by “unremarkable” local residents/citizenswho sought to attack their country of residence, utilizing al-Qaeda as their inspiration and ideological reference point.....
Where once we would have defined the initial indicator of the threat at the point where a terrorist or group of terrorists would actually plan an attack, we have now shifted our focus to a much earlier point—a point where we believe the potential terrorist or group of terrorists begin and progress through a process of radicalization. The culmination of this process is a terrorist attack.
Understanding this trend and the radicalization process in the West that drives“unremarkable” people to become terrorists is vital for developing effective counter-strategies and has special importance for the NYPD and the City of New York. As one of the country’s iconic symbols and the target of numerous terrorist plots since the1990’s, New York City continues to be among the top targets of terrorists worldwide......
An assessment of the various reported models of radicalization leads to the conclusion that the radicalization process is composed of four distinct phases:
• Stage 1: Pre-Radicalization
• Stage 2: Self-Identification
• Stage 3: Indoctrination
• Stage 4: Jihadization....
The NYPD’s understanding of the threat from Islamic-based terrorism to New York City has evolved since September 11, 2001. Where once we would have defined the initial indicator of the threat at the point where a terrorist or group of terrorists would actually plan an attack, we have now shifted our focus to a much earlier point—a point where we believe the potential terrorist or group of terrorists begin and progress through a process of radicalization. The culmination of this process is a terrorist attack.....
However, as al-Qaeda’s central core of leaders, operatives, and foot soldiers shrunk, its philosophy of global jihad spread worldwide at an exponential rate via radical Internet websites and chat rooms, extremist videotapes and literature, radical speeches by extremist imams—often creating a radical subculture within the more vulnerable Muslim diaspora communities. This post-September 11 wave of militant ideological influences underpins radicalization in the West and is what we define as the homegrown threat..."
This report was issued before the rise of ISIS and other similar groups. Muslim groups are not the only ones who want to banish this report from reality forever. The ACLU says on its website:
Like a villain in a horror movie, the widely debunked concept of terrorist "radicalization" is once again raised from the grave by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) in its 2013 report, "American Jihadist Terrorism: Combating a Complex Threat." CRS is an influential legislative branch agency charged with providing objective policy analysis for members of Congress, which makes its continued reliance on the "radicalization" model promoted in a now-discredited 2007 New York Police Department report, "Radicalization in the West," particularly troublesome....
In addition to being factually wrong, this radicalization concept is also dangerous, because, as the CRS report points out, adopting beliefs and associating with like-minded people is First Amendment-protected activity. But if counter-terrorism officials believe that adopting radical beliefs are a necessary first stage to terrorism, they will obviously target belief communities and activists with their enforcement measures, as they often do. The CRS report highlights the NYPD radicalization theory, and while it acknowledges the criticism of the NYPD report it continues to hew closely to the model of radicalization it promotes.... Rest of ACLU statement.
Dear ACLU, the concept of radicalization is indeed "dangerous". There are fourteen graves that prove how dangerous "radicalization" actually is. There are another 21 injured victims who can literally testify to its peril as well. However, they may define "dangerous" a little differently than does the ACLU. Their view is somewhat distorted by the fact that they were trying to avoid bullets and bombs instead of lawsuits. Meanwhile, the ACLU calls "dangerous" law enforcement's efforts to prevent more terrorism.
The ACLU has made important strides in fourth and fifth amendment protections. It stood up for the first amendment in Skokie. However, the ACLU is just plain wrong as it now tries to prevent law enforcement from gathering intelligence about the enemy. It does not want our protectors to understand the enemy nor develop strategies to stop the enemy. In other words, the ACLU demands the police do the dirty work of stopping terrorism without actually getting its hands dirty. If a few people die, well, they were sacrifices for the cause.
The ACLU's attempts to suppress the report will have a chilling effect on fighting terrorism. It will force law enforcement officials to think twice before monitoring terrorism threats in our communities. Are you a police chief in a major city who wants to make a serious threat assessment? Don't write it down on paper as the ACLU may take you to court if it doesn't like what you wrote. Law enforcement officials never thought the only threat of terrorism came from "homegrown" radicals. However, they would be derelict in doing their duty to protect us if they ignored this particular threat as the ACLU so desires. One can hope that America does not reach a sad state of affairs in America where police must fear the ACLU more than it does terrorists.
Keep in mind what the ACLU is attempting to do is keep police from studying the concept of radicalization and how it might be used to fight terrorism. Think of it as thought police for the police. The ACLU can argue all day long that homegrown radicalization is a "debunked" theory.
However, what was debunked in San Bernardino last week was the ACLU as terrorists shot through its credibility.

Woman of the Year: 1953-Queen Elizabeth II
From the day she was born, the life of Queen Elizabeth II shows that she deserved to receive the title "Woman of the Year." She had practical intelligence since she was a kid and she respected peoples opinions.
Queen Elizabeth II was born on April 21, 1926 at the London home of her mother's parents, Lord and Lady Strathmore. She was baptized at Buckingham Palace and named Elizabeth Alexandra Mary five weeks later.
Elizabeth's father was Albert, the Duke of York. He was the second son of King George V. When his dad died in 1936, his brother was supposed to become king but he resigned. So he became king. Her mother was Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. She was a member of the Scottish aristocracy. Her sister Margaret Rose was born on August 21, 1930, when she was 4 years old in Glamis Castle.
Her grandparents were George V and Queen Mary, and Lord and Lady Strathmore.
Elizabeth and her sister were homed schooled. She was taught by Miss Marion Crawford, a young Scottish woman. At the age of 5, she usually woke up at 6 a.m. and went out for riding lessons. After that, they had lunch, lessons in French, voice and piano. In the afternoon she would play in the garden, usually with her sister and Miss Crawford. She became heiress to the throne at the age of ten. She had to learn court etiquette and diplomatic practice from her grandmother, Queen Mary. She studied the geography and history of the Commonwealth countries and the U.S. Elizabeth went to Eton College for private lessons in law. She was training for future duties. Being a princess was not easy. She had to prepare for a hard life, never make mistakes, never look... | <urn:uuid:068bb63a-996f-419a-9a58-523de61532d6> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.writework.com/essay/woman-year-1953-queen-elizabeth-ii | 2016-10-22T00:07:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988718311.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183838-00442-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.993576 | 371 | [

As second year winds down and I approach the ultimate exam of medical school, Step 1 of the USMLE, I have spent a lot of time in reflection, and on one stark dichotomy in particular. The vast majority of medicine that we studied has been physical; we study the art of physical diagnosis in order to best assess our patients’ pains and murmurs and abrasions, leading to verifiable diagnoses. In addition, we have objective blood work showing a TSH level or a number for total cholesterol, and a scan to show a cyst or mass. All of these means give us the ability to diagnose patients with confidence and ease, allowing for objective, physical proof. Indeed, we are able to monitor blood levels of an overwhelming array of molecules within the human body, and able to see the composition of injured tissues, bones and blood flow from a variety of types of scans.
At stark contrast to this very real and physical world of medicine lies the abstract realm of psychiatry, where little to none of these objective blood measurements exist. Mental health and mental illnesses are real, yet very rarely do we have a test that can show our patients the authenticity of what they are experiencing. There are seldom findings on physical exam when one is suffering from depression. There is no scan that can show a change in neurotransmitter levels explaining one’s bipolar disorder. There are few blood tests available to show changes in the body in anxiety, or paranoia, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. In psychiatry, expertly trained physicians are able to assess a patient’s mental health through a comprehensive evaluation of physical and mental well-being. This is pivotal to the correct diagnosis of mental health disorders and essential to providing the correct medication to alleviate the feelings and complaints the patient experiences. Even though the process leading to a mental health diagnosis is thorough and medically advanced, why does it remain that mental health illnesses are viewed differently from physical health illnesses?
The dichotomy rests in the simple fact that we as humans, with complex consciousness and insight into our conditions, struggle to come to terms with a diagnosis that has little objective evidence. Without seeing the scan, the blood test, or tests with the results showing abnormal findings, we have great difficulty accepting our diagnosis and accepting those of others. This phenomenon has led to the significant criticism and judgment that exists towards mental health and illness. Even before the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy a year and a half ago, mental health illnesses were often poorly understood by much of society, leading to incorrect beliefs about the cause, process, and treatment of mental health. With the release of the new DSM-5, the definitive source of all that is psychiatry and mental disorders, heavy discussion has ensued over the extent of mental health disorders, the criteria which serve to make the diagnosis, and their treatment. It is evident that the boundaries of mental health are still hazy and consequently, the reaction of those with mental health diagnoses remain just as ambiguous as they strive to come to terms with their condition.
Placing the Blame
I have noticed that it is much easier for a person to talk about their physical illnesses than their mental health. We don’t blink an eye to admit “I had a gallstone and had my gallbladder removed” or “I tore my ACL and my mom has rheumatoid arthritis” because these are physical complaints with physical solutions. However, we much less often hear “I have severe anxiety every day and panic attacks” or “I have depression.” These mental health diagnoses are harder to admit due to an inner battle we all have in ourselves. As hard as it is to admit weakness or problems with our body and physical strength, it is even harder to admit a problem with our feelings or mind. We tend to think it must be our fault, that we did something to cause it. That we’re too mentally weak to bear the emotions, or stress. That we are embarrassed of our diagnosis. We think that others judge our inadequacy or mental-emotional plight. These feelings are often unspoken, yet the impact that they create on mental health causes widespread and significant effects.
When a physician who comes in to lecture tells your class “I know you all want to get out of here early so you can go back to studying ‘real medicine’ for your boards” or later says “I know I’m not a ‘real’ doctor, but what can we find on physical exam in a patient with this condition,” you start to really wonder about how this barrier to mental health and psychiatry evolved and what we can do to address it. Psychiatry is real medicine and mental health disorders are real conditions. Yet, both the field of medicine and as a society, we pay little attention. In fact, many people feel discouraged to admit they struggle with depression or anxiety or mood disorders due to the fear of facing criticism and judgment from our friends, families and jobs. I believe that this is a disservice to ourselves; it only leads to more suffering by being afraid to seek help.
The Labeling Problem
Part of the problem that is more than evident is the practicing of ‘labeling’ patients. This happens more frequently in mental health diagnoses than physical diagnoses, directly leading to some of the stigma associated with mental health and awareness. We hear “he is a schizophrenic” or “she’s an alcoholic” rather than “he has schizophrenia” or “she has alcoholism.” In physical medicine, emphasis has been placed recently on changing this practice, especially in reference to a patient who has diabetes. Too often we hear “he’s a diabetic.” Labeling patients with their diseases creates a feeling of being defined by one’s condition, thereby hindering efforts of healing and attaining better health. This premise underlies the unspoken sentiment that affects mental health disorders, creating a barrier to proper care for patients who seek help and treatment for mental and emotional disorders.
The Totality of Health
The aspect that strikes me most about the irony behind the hush-hush nature of mental health is the fact that almost every single physical diagnosis comes with a significant aspect of mental health side effects. From a hysterectomy for endometriosis, to cancer treatment with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, all physical diagnoses affect the patient mentally through fear, worry, anxiety, depression and feelings of failure or embarrassment. These emotions take a toll on the body physically; they can and do alter the outcome of treatment in many cases. We realize that an open heart coronary artery bypass graft surgery is a grueling operation with an arduous physical recovery, but we tend to ignore the fact that an overwhelming percentage of patients experience severe depression after the surgery. Current data assesses that up to 40% of patients become depressed after CABG surgery. Depression can be a significant challenge to endure in any condition, but especially so after the grueling physical ordeal of open-heart surgery. It is disheartening to realize that western medicine still focuses on repairing the body of ills, fixing the tangible complaints, but often fails to acknowledge that a person is much more than their physical body. Health truly is the interaction between physical, mental and social health, and no one can feel completely healthy with only one or two of those parts in excellent condition.
Despite the negativity, I think the future of medicine is bright and the abilities we have to treat each individual patient is resounding with hope and success. However, to attain the most complete and effective health care system for each patient, open communication and honest reflection on the impact of mental health are indispensable tools for dissolution of the barriers to psychiatric care. | <urn:uuid:8f24f722-6a4a-4915-ad89-944d3b6272b4> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://in-training.org/breaking-barriers-mental-health-diagnoses-7203 | 2016-10-23T03:08:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719139.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00504-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.959035 | 1,580 | [

Stefan Fischer died suddenly on June 28, 2011. It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of our dear friend and colleague Stefan Ernst Fischer, Ph.D., at age 47. Stefan leaves his wife, Elisabeth, and two sons, Ramon and Urs, to mourn his passing. Stefan was born and raised in Bern, Switzerland where he attended elementary to high school. After graduation, Stefan joined the Swiss Army where he rose to the rank of Captain of the Swiss Army Tank Forces. Following his army duties, Stefan studied Electrical Engineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, Switzerland while doing research at the Brain Research Institute at the University of Zurich. Stefan completed his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at ETH in 1994, after which he joined Philips Medical Systems as a clinical scientist posted in Andover, MA for the first year and at Washington University in St. Louis, MO until 2000. After leaving St. Louis, Stefan transitioned to an MR Senior System Architect position in Best, The Netherlands. Since 2003, he was the Director of MR Clinical Science North-America for Philips Healthcare in Cleveland, OH. In this position, Stefan headed a team of 20 Ph.D. level scientists and supported clinical Magnetic Resonance Imaging and spectroscopy research at leading Research and Healthcare Institutions in North America.
Since the move to Cleveland, Stefan continued his passion for teaching in addition to his managerial duties. In 2004, he initiated the first Sequence Development Mode and Pulse Programming courses taught in North America, and to date has successfully trained a network of more than 250 Philips collaborators. In 2007, Stefan was appointed Adjunct Assistant Professor of the Department of Radiology at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio and more recently had been offered an adjunct faculty position in the Bioengineering Department at the University of Louisville in Kentucky. Stefan mentored a countless number of students to successful careers within Philips MR and Academic positions.
The innovative contributions that Stefan made to Philips MR, as well as the international MR scientific community, are far too numerous to list. His legacy is reflected in multiple technical developments that have become integral to the Philips MR systems found around the world today. Among these, he was the chief designer for the new digital MR platform on the Achieva system, commercially known as the FreeWave Spectrometer, and was awarded a patent for his invention on Vectorcardiograph-based cardiac triggering, which allowed Philips MR to take an early lead in cardiac MR, and is still sold on state-of-the-art MR systems. Academically, Stefan has authored 3 patents, numerous invention disclosures, and over 30 peer-reviewed publications/book chapters and contributed over 100 papers and invited lectures to scientific meetings.
Stefan will be remembered for these incredible accomplishments, but even more so for his clever teaching style and unique explanations of incredibly complex concepts. His comparison of a perfectly brewed espresso to an inversion-recovery pulse sequence, although not intuitive, could not have been more precise. And he taught all of the students not to make things up, and to simply admit when he or she didn't understand a concept. When needed, he gently reinforced this lesson by subtly asking a series of leading questions, thereby guiding the student to discover the solution and garner a better understanding. | <urn:uuid:80e2e454-caff-4d72-afcc-4acf69128222> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://scmr.org/page/Fischer/Stefan-Fischer.htm | 2016-10-23T03:03:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719139.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00504-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.968238 | 670 | [

Seth Shostak believes in aliens. And there is a good chance you do too if you were one of the hundreds who heard him speak last March 30. In a jammed McIntyre Amphitheatre, Shostak delivered a rousing lecture in which he made a compelling case for the presence of beings on other planets who will be in touch with us before long.
Shostak is a senior astronomer with the SETI Institute, the American-based research group whose acronym stands for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. He was at McGill to give a talk entitled "When Will We Detect Extraterrestrials?" for the Astrobiology Lecture Series.
Shostak's presentation was a jolly mix of the cosmic and the comic, as he interwove pop culture icons with the latest details of the SETI Institute's search for life elsewhere in the universe. He explained how recent advances in astrophysics have allowed researchers to hone in on the location of thousands of planets, meaning that the institute's search through "the cosmic haystack" is becoming more precise every year.
"Planets are as common as cheap motels," quipped Shostak, who told the audience that the present era of indexing the heavens is akin to 1492 when, in one generation, a group of explorers mapped most of the globe.
The efforts of Shostak and his colleagues to discover extraterrestrial life is premised on the fact that however difficult it may be to travel to the stars, it is very easy to send information to them. The group is expanding its efforts to employ radio telescopes as a means of detecting signals from other galaxies. The Allen Telescope Array in California will allow researchers to not only search for direct messages, but also to detect inadvertent cosmic noises that might be emanating from other planets. Just as our own CBC leaks into outer space, some form of "Alien Idol" might conceivably be drifting our way via radio or microwaves. Should this be the case, the institute's new radio-telescope cluster will be capable of listening in.
As he gave a nimble explanation of the SETI Institute's methodology, Shostak also entertained the audience with popular culture depictions of extraterrestrial activity. Slides showed everything from pulp novel aliens to UFOs in Area 51, as Shostak gently debunked some of our society's more persistent myths about outer space. Crop circles received a special dose of skepticism.
"It just doesn't seem likely that they'd come all the way here to carve graffiti into our wheat -- usually on a Friday night," he noted.
But joking aside, Shostak is convinced that extraterrestrial contact will occur in the near future. His optimism is partly fueled by the expanding pace at which scientists are locating new planets, and by the increased listening power of earth's telescopes. The Allen Telescope Array, in particular, represents a large advancement. The planned array consists of 350 small telescopes that are wired together so as to converge on many frequencies at once. The upshot is that scientists will be able to monitor more of the cosmos than ever before, making it increasingly possible that a signal can be detected. Shostak is presently so optimistic about making interstellar contact that he put a latte on the line, promising to buy the entire audience a deluxe coffee if a signal is not detected.
"We will have a signal in the next two dozen years. You will be alive when this happens," he said.
The conclusion of the lecture was received with considerable applause from the audience, who then asked a series of questions. Based on the queries and on a loose poll conducted by Shostak at the beginning of the talk, it was apparent that about two-thirds of those present believed in extraterrestrial life, with the other third unconvinced.
One of those in the former camp is Professor Hojatollah Vali of the Departments of Earth and Planetary Sciences and Anatomy and Cell Biology, who organized the event in conjunction with his undergraduate course in astrobiology. Vali was clearly pleased by the large turnout, and took care to thank the sponsors who contributed to the lecture's success. These included the Beatty Memorial Lectures Committee, the Canadian Space Agency and the Faculties of Medicine and Science. | <urn:uuid:08a97057-1e7e-44a8-a9a9-0beaa9f23dbb> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.mcgill.ca/reporter/37/14/seti/ | 2016-10-23T03:45:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719139.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00504-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964422 | 878 | [

박물관(museum)이라고 하기에는 작고 볼품 없으나, 아기자기하면서도 다양한 체험을 할 수 있도록 고민이 깃든 놀이기구들과 친절한 스텝들이 좋습니다. 만2세 미만 아동들은 할 수 있는 게 없겠지만, 그 이후 미취학아동들은 반나절 정도는 즐길 수 있는 곳 같습니다. 책 읽어주는 클래스도 괜찮을 것 같지만, 몸으로 하는 엑티비티가 더욱 좋습니다. ^^Museum (museum), a small, tacky, but baby to self so that you can make a variety of experience with distressed dwells rides and friendly staff.

Fantastic place for adventurous kids. I was concerned it might be too advanced for our three year old but he cried after leaving 6 hours later. There are numerous indoor and outdoor activities and the cafe is actually very reasonably priced. If your child likes water bring a change of clothes and some water shoes. :-)
Brought my little girl here twice. The first time was when she was around 2 years old. She didn't have as much fun back then compared to when she went at 3.5 years old. This time, she definitely loved playing in the backyard/garden. It was an extremely fun place for her. I think if we didn't do anything, she'd have stayed there for the entire day without problems.... and probably forget to eat too. This place is a good place to go for kids after 3 based on my experience.
My kids had a great time. It was a little warm for doing all the science exhibits but once the kids hit the climbing structures indoors and the creek outside we were all much happier. Great tip I read: bring the kids a change of clothes because the creek and mud are hard to resist.

I really like this place! Very different from many Children's Museums. Has climbing structures, built around nature and science mostly. Gorgeous mosaic tile entryway. Many different areas to explore! My daughter played in 'Bugsy's Diner' a lot, made a bead necklace, created (4) stick puppets so she could act out the Rapunzel story, 'drove' a truck at the Dino dig and dug for dinosaur bones, played with the animal figures in the animal/insects area, rode a tricycle for the first time, splashed around in their water creek/pool, played outdoor musical instruments, and played on outdoor structures/playgrounds. She only didn't do (3) areas of the Museum from what I can tell. Not for lack of time, as we were there for (5) hours from 12p-5p, but because there were areas she really gravitated toward more and would go back to. She didn't make it into the Greenhouse, the front large outdoor exploration area and the indoor metal climbing structure. We did get a child's meal there and it was pretty good. The staff at the café and throughout the museum was super friendly, attentive, and helpful! Really had a great day there and enjoyed everything. Afterward, we played on the playground that is on the way toward the parking lot. The museum is located in the Rose Bowl grounds. We got in free with our ATSC Membership from Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, NJ! Cool museum and a lovely day spent with my girl. Many friendly and fun kids were there too, so my daughter had many different spontaneous play dates at the museum! ; )
We took our daughter here and she loved it!! There was so much for her to do and learned so much! The staff was very friendly! We love that all the activities are included in the entrance fee! They had a workshop to do crafts and build stuff which our daughter loved! Our daughter got to use her imagination in all the activities! The place was very nice! People were great!

(CNN) -- A recent Oral Roberts University graduate was the only one of five people en route to a Christian youth conference to survive a plane crash in southeastern Kansas, officials said Saturday.
The twin-engine Cessna 401 went down Friday afternoon about nine miles west of Chanute, the Kansas Highway Patrol said on their website. The small aircraft landed in a field and skidded about 200 feet before hitting a treeline.
A spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board on Saturday said the pilot had been in contact with air traffic controllers, but there was no distress call.
"There was an altitude change and that was the last transmission," said spokesman Peter Knudson.
The aircraft caught fire after the crash.

The purpose of psychotherapy is to bring about rapid healing of emotional pain, thereby opening up free access to the wisdom already acquired. Wisdom rather than pain now guides and motivates behavior, resulting in choices that are deeply beneficial.
What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist
I love participating in the transformation that Rapid Resolution Therapy brings about. I am continually amazed and in awe, grateful that I can contribute in this way.
My Role as a Therapist
My role is to adjust the mind so it works in the ideal way for you.
What I Usually Need to Know to Help
All I need to know at the outset is what's been going on for you that's brought them to my office. What would youlike to address? What would youlike to accomplish?
My Guiding Ethical Principles
My number one concern is to do no harm. Often those in the healing professions say things to people that inadvertently makes that person worse off. I specialize in the use of language and communication that makes things better for my clients, makes you feel better and do better.
Why Going to Therapy Does Not Mean You are Weak or Flawed
The human mind is extremely complex and like any complicated instrument, is prone to get out of adjustment. It happens to everybody. Life events affect the mind and sometimes knock it out of adjustment. My job is to fix that so the mind works in the best possible way.

This easy mushroom bruschetta recipe was made for my dinner a couple days ago. While my 5 year old has not yet cultivated a taste for mushrooms, I adore them, and often incorporate nutrient dense fungi into entrees as a flavorful low calorie meat extender or substitute . Since mushrooms are also an outstanding source for Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Phosphorus, Potassium, Copper and Selenium, in addition to providing many other essential vitamins and minerals, they work in well with my nutritional goals.
I find mushrooms to be a flexible ingredient, that is easy to add into a wide array of appetizers, soups, sides and entrees, but if you are a bit stumped about using the, no worries, the Mushroom Council has set up a whole Mushroom Channel to help you out. It is a fun website (mushroominfo.com) packed with tasty recipes and nutritional information about mushrooms, teamed with social media. One of the feature’s on the website that many of you will find useful is the swapability tool, which guides you toward easy ways to start adding mushrooms to your family’s diet. Be sure to follow their social media accounts too ( Facebook and Twitter). They are excellent resources as well. Personally, I particularly like their Pinterest boards.
In the meantime, here are a few quick tips from the Mushroom Council to help you add mushrooms into your daily eating. Why not try some some of them in honor of National Nutrition Month.
- Slimmer Suppers. Swap mushrooms for some of the meat in dishes like pasta sauce, burgers, tacos and meatloaf to create a healthier version of classic recipes.
- Meatless mains. Mushrooms’ hearty texture makes for a satisfying meat replacement.
- Bold breakfasts. Start your day with a dose of vitamin D – mushrooms are the only source in the produce aisle.
- Lighter lunches. Use mushrooms and meat for a filling midday meal.
- Stand-Out Sides. Sautéed mushrooms are an easy way to add flavor and nutrients including B vitamins and potassium.
- Awesome Appetizers. Get antioxidants like selenium with pre-meal mushroom morsels.
- Snack Time. At just 20 calories per cup, mushrooms are perfect for stuffing with a variety of ingredients, from herbs to cheeses. The perfect bite-size snack for the mid-day hunger craving.
*In addition, Mushroominfo.com has a full recipe database that can be referenced for mushroom inspiration.
I have one more thing to share with you before moving on to the recipe.
A Twitter Party!

The Talk; The Italian Campaign
By Maria Luisa Frisa
Published: October 8, 2006
B&B Italia, the furniture company originally known as C&B Italia, was born 40 years ago out of the meeting of two visionary manufacturers, Cesare Cassina and Piero Ambrogio Busnelli. (Busnelli later bought Cassina's share of the company.) A pioneer in mass-produced furnishings, Busnelli built what was once called the most fully automated furniture factory in the world as well as a sophisticated research-and-development laboratory. He understood that ''architects conceive of beautiful objects,'' and proceeded to work with some of the best designers in Italy, like Afra and Tobia Scarpa, Mario Bellini, Gaetano Pesce, Vico Magistretti and Marco Zanuso.
But this was also a great period for Italian graphic design, and just as B&B would forge a new culture of Italian design for the home, its visual campaigns -- initially under the creative direction of Enrico Trabacchi, until his death in 1976 -- were a mini social history of people's changing lifestyles and the new ways they inhabited space. Its ads were as innovative, and as clever, as the products they advertised. A brief survey follows.
1969: One giant leap for design
Experimentation, innovation and challenge merge in this image by the photographer Klaus Zaugg. It was the year of the lunar landing. The bodacious red UP series armchair, designed by Gaetano Pesce, appears against a highly polished white rockscape, surrounded by women dressed in black catsuits, a uniform that embodied the reassuring and stylized future of the 60's imagination.
1971: ''They are in a crisis''
C&B had a problem on its hands: orders for the Coronado sofa and armchair, designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa, had gone through the roof, and it was having a hard time meeting the demand. Its clever solution was to run this ad, in the form of a letter from its irate customers, who were tired of putting up with their old furniture while awaiting delivery of their C&B pieces. This strategy allowed the company to blow its own horn by poking fun at itself.
1972: ''Dolls that come and go ... on dolls that are here to stay''
A young but already vocal and politically incorrect photographer by the name of Oliviero Toscani placed a blond, bare-breasted Donna Jordan -- a legendary model of the time -- on the Le Bambole (the Dolls) chair by Mario Bellini, one of the most productive designers of the Milan school. It was the year after a bonfire of bras in St.-Tropez burned to the chorus ''The bra is an instrument of male dominance.'' The poster shown here kicked off the campaign, which created huge demand for these pieces. Le Bambole received the prestigious Compasso d'Oro (Golden Compass) prize in 1979.
1973: ''Yesterday it was pronounced differently''
Cassina and Busnelli parted ways that year, and C&B became B&B (Busnelli joked that it stood for Banks & Busnelli). In Enrico Trabacchi's ad campaign, an asterisk next to the new ''B'' announced the change. In product and in spirit, however, B&B assured people, the company remained the same as before. To prove the point, the famous imbottiti (upholstered) pieces formerly known as Amanta, Bonanza, Camaleonda, Coronado and Le Bambole would from now on be called -- appropriately enough -- Amanta, Bonanza, Camaleonda, Coronado and Le Bambole.
1984: Mime's the word
''I'' had replaced ''we'' at the start of the Me Generation, and postmodernism was on the rise. The art director Pierluigi Cerri and the photographer Gabriele Basilico gave tangible form to the concept. They depicted the Paolo Piva-designed Alanda sofa alongside several highly emotive mimes, implying that these sofas had the capacity to adapt to the sitter's state of mind.
1987: ''Everything O.K. at home?''
''A casa tutti bene?'' is the slogan that was used in the newspapers to celebrate the awarding of another Compasso d'Oro -- this time, for the Sity system by Antonio Citterio, who has since become an international design star. The phrase ''Nessun Sity ?guale a un altro Sity'' (no Sity is like any other Sity) appeared on a series of photographs taken by Jean Pierre Maurer to demonstrate the many combinations that could be created from the 34 pieces in the collection. ''The Sity defined an era,'' Busnelli said in a radio interview. ''It marked the beginning of a new era in which people began to stretch out. The Sity is made specifically to stretch out in. Home is for resting. Relaxing.''
1989: ''To be or not to be B&B''
The ad campaign by the RSCG agency in 1989 responded to Hamlet's question by stressing the company's identity and its overall significance: ''Because B&B Italia revolutionized our way of experiencing the home. This is the first publicity campaign where ... B&B Italia itself is the subject, author of its own products, entirely responsible for their own innovative content and their value in the history of design.''
B&B Italia's aesthetic changed with the times, and by the mid-90's the ad campaigns presented a series of tranquil domestic spaces that occasionally combined new pieces with the company's classic models. Today, the big names of Italian design have been joined by a new generation: Marc Newson, Patricia Urquiola, Roberto Barbieri, James Irvine, Naoto Fukasawa and Uwe Fischer, among others. The slogan for this year's campaign? Tangible Art.

What ISP Do You Use?: Skyriver
This is a discussion on the "Skyriver" entry in the What ISP Do You Use? SpiceList
Provider of wireless broadband connectivity for small businesses and enterprise customers. Skyriver offers broadband Internet for business with speeds ranging from T1 to 200Mbps.
ProCompRx is an IT service provider.
Local ISP in the Southern California / South West area. Provides great connectivity to the "local" Internet. ONLY! But if you are a nation-wide, let alone a global company, their service is terrible. Data speeds and latency from MAE-West to MAE-East is atrocious! 10 MBit circuit installed at our location gets approx. 20-30% across the wire to landline 10 MBit Metro-E with latency in the range of 80-120 ms + (have seen up to 180 ms with as little as 1 MBit throughput to similar 10 MBit landline circuit in our Ohio location). I would recommend their service to a single office company. I would NOT recommend their service for ANY company who wants any decent data throughput across country. | <urn:uuid:358e9b1f-8095-414e-bad1-184d2d22d3fa> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/84740-what-isp-do-you-use-skyriver | 2016-10-25T10:47:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720026.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00061-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.929791 | 228 | [

I could see some potential problems with a MH partnership.
I'm in a partnership with my brother in an airplane. Just like noserider said, the plane is easy, we pay for our own fuel, it stays in my hangar at my house, we just split the maintenance costs right down the middle.
He & I also own some equipment together. This one is a little different. We split the major repairs, but, if one of us is using it and there's a minor problem, ie hydraulic hose, flat tire, (2 or 3 hundred bucks) whoever is using it at the time just pays for it & goes on. A major issue or routine maintenance, just split it.
Oh....we don't have anything written down either.
Our wives aren't involved.......... so it works just fine. | <urn:uuid:d9d085e7-2bcd-4e66-90c5-e29148a891aa> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.irv2.com/forums/f258/partnership-227610.html | 2016-10-26T11:48:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720941.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00123-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.947427 | 168 | [

TRENTON — Crime suspects do not have the right to confront the lab analysts who tested their blood for alcohol and drugs, or the forensic experts who analyzed their DNA in a sexual-assault case, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled Wednesday.
Instead, it is enough for them to question another expert who has seen the raw data from those tests — and who is familiar with the lab machines and processes used — even if that expert had no hand analyzing the blood or DNA, the Supreme Court held.
The rulings in two separate cases Wednesday will make criminal trials run more efficiently, legal observers said.
But Justice Barry Albin, in a pair of sharp dissents to the 6-1 rulings, warned it would all come at a "high price" because the court was "eviscerating" the rights of the accused in New Jersey, by shielding from scrutiny the scientists whose work can determine their fates.
Criminal defendants have the right to confront their accusers in court under the Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, including experts testifying about blood screens in drunken-driving cases or potential DNA matches in rape cases.
However, there is a debate in courts across the country about who exactly can vouch for those tests in court — the analyst who pours the blood into the machines, or someone who reviews data about it later. The New Jersey justices said any expert with intimate knowledge of the data and how a lab works would suffice.
"We believe that a truly independent reviewer or supervisor of testing results can testify to those results and to his or her conclusions about those results," Justice Jaynee LaVecchia wrote for the court, as long as that witness "is knowledgeable about the testing process, has independently verified the correctness of the machine-tested processes and results, and has formed an independent conclusion about the results."
Lawrence Lustberg, a top criminal-defense lawyer at the Gibbons firm, called the rulings "disturbing," saying they "will make trials quicker and convictions easier to obtain (but) ... not enhance the quality of justice in this state."
"If those (lab tests) are the reason why someone gets put in jail, is separated from his family, loses his job, is deprived of his freedom, then the people who performed those analyses should have to testify, not some summary witness," said Lustberg, who was not involved in the cases.
He added that he was worried "that the New Jersey Supreme Court is not nearly as concerned about a defendant’s fundamental right to confront his accusers as the U.S. Supreme Court has shown itself to be over the last decade."
Justice Albin said the court’s rulings would have a "far-reaching effect for future cases involving laboratory tests that are critical to criminal prosecutions." The incentive for labs, he said, "will be to select as the expert witness the best pitch person, the one who appears to have walked out of Central Casting."
"This approach will destroy the ability of the accused to have any meaningful opportunity to cross-examine the persons who are actually bearing testimony against her — the actual chemists or analysts conducting the tests," he wrote.
Julie Michaels, 43, was convicted of driving while intoxicated in Sussex County and killing a passenger in an oncoming vehicle, Dylan Vecchiarelli, among other charges. Blood samples tested by a lab revealed she had cocaine and Xanax in her system at the time. She was sentenced to 18 years in prison.
Michaels argued she should have been able to question the analysts who actually ran her blood through lab machines because of the possibility for "human error."
The Supreme Court said that was not necessary because her attorney got to question the lab’s assistant director, who reviewed more than 900 pages of raw data, checked to see that the lab machines were properly calibrated, and formed an independent conclusion about the results.
The alternative — allowing Michaels to question the approximately 14 analysts who handled her blood screen — would not be a "workable rule" for trial courts to follow, the Supreme Court majority indicated.
"Clearly, defendant could not cross-examine the machines themselves," LaVecchia wrote. "And we have rejected the argument that defendant’s confrontation rights could only be satisfied by testimony from all analysts involved in the testing. Defendant’s opportunity to cross-examine (the assistant lab director) about the testing and its results provided meaningful confrontation."
In the second case, Reginald Roach, 45, was convicted of raping a 64-year-old woman and burglarizing her home. The DNA analyst who ran tests that matched him to the scene of the crime did not testify; rather it was another forensic expert familiar with the data. Roach argued he should get a new trial because he had the right to confront the lead analyst.
Attorneys for Michaels and Roach did not respond to messages seeking comment.
Deputy State Attorney General Frank Muroski, who argued the Michaels case, said, "We are pleased that the New Jersey Supreme Court approved of our long-standing practice of allowing experts to rely on scientific data produced by non-testifying analysts, so long as the testifying experts conduct their own independent analysis of the data in reaching their expert conclusions." | <urn:uuid:ad0e7840-1920-4a2b-8af9-a7f8c63b56df> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/08/crime_suspects_cant_confront_the_scientists_running_blood_or_dna_tests_on_them_nj_supreme_court_rule.html | 2016-10-26T13:07:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720941.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00123-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973258 | 1,083 | [

Di tsatske iz a groyse bren!
(Shik ir tsu shlofn mit Big Ben!)
Zi greyt zikh on in ire zin
Tsu makhn im um hul-ya-vin
Ir kale-kleydl is a vayse?
Freg nit kashes oyf a mayse!
Virgin for Sale
Here comes a shameless British tart
Who offers up for sale — her heart
A guy would be a fool and heel
To enter into such a deal!
Beware her dimples and her smiles
She’ll lay you in the (British) aisles
And even if the girl’s a dish
Will she purvey a kosher knish?
Moreover, can she guarantee
She’s free and clear of STD?
She claims to be a virgin pure
To which we say, “Oh, yeah, oh, sure.”
When queried what the price would be
She says, “I charge an entrance fee.
But if the man’s a Jewish sport
I find he’s apt to come too short.
A decent living I must earn!
An old-maid role I hereby spurn.
To make ends meet — that is my thrust
A bulging nest egg is a must.”
A British bounder bellows: “Zounds!
For this she’s charging sterling pounds?”
The trollop has a yen for men
She’d ring the chimes of old Big Ben!
She’s ready now to cast her net
For maiden voyage she’s all set
Her bridal gown — will it be white?
The question disregard! It’s trite! | <urn:uuid:59cf9a6c-74d4-4d11-acfc-db6e0a655e48> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://forward.com/articles/2933/der-yiddish-vinkl-february-11-2005/ | 2016-10-27T14:54:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721347.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00185-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.733113 | 812 | [

Rover.com Challenges DogVacay In Home Territory
Los Angeles-based pet sitting marketplace DogVacay is being directly challenged by competitor Rover.com today in Los Angeles, as Rover.com said it has scored some funding from A-GRade investment, the Los Angeles investment fund run by Ashton Kutcher, Guy Oseary and Ron Burkle, and also launched a "red carpet" service for pet owners specifically in LA. According to Rover.com, its new service, Rover Premier, will offer up a consultant who will search for, find, and book a pet sitter for them. Size of the investment was not disclosed. Both DogVacay and Rover are competing to see who is the "big dog" in offering up a marketplace for dog sitters online. Rover.com said that LA is one of the firm's fastest growing major markets. Rover is based in Seattle. | <urn:uuid:e41f5142-100d-4e7a-9b4e-ec16ffac05b2> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.socaltech.com/rover.com_challenges_dogvacay_in_home_territory/s-0057678.html | 2016-10-27T14:54:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721347.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00185-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.963439 | 192 | [

There was no doubt which of the two coaches was the happiest as Olympique Lyonnais fought back from 2-0 down to salavage a point at home to ACF Fiorentina in their first game in UEFA Champions League Group F. Lyon's Claude Puel said the comeback was "a very strong performance" while his opposite number Cesare Prandelli admitted his side lost confidence after the French champions pulled one back with 17 minutes left.
Claude Puel, Lyon coach
In the future we will try not to scare ourselves that much. Obviously we made a good start but the first goal made us lose our rhythm completely. We have some quality players in our defence whoever is chosen. When you conceded a goal, there is always a collective responsibility; it's not down to just one player. But when we put four or five passes together we felt we were able to create chances. We had a bad half and a good half. We'll stay positive and say that making this sort of comeback in a Champions League game is a very strong performance. It shows our team have character. We'll see at the end of the competition if it was a good point or a bad point, but when you look at the way this game went, it's not that bad.
Cesare Prandelli, Fiorentina coach
It was a good game. We played against a very strong team that could go far in the competition, maybe even win it. After conceding the first goal we totally lost confidence. After the first goal we were not focused enough. Lyon truly deserved their achievement. We will have to take a look at this game if we want to improve in the future. We didn't try, didn't dare enough. I think we were not in the best shape, not physically but mentally.

WPAndroid 2.4 Notifications
The notifications update as released Tuesday and its been well received. We’ve noticed a few corner cases bugs have popped up. They are being actively squashed and a new update will be released as soon as the last one is confirmed DOA.
For the next planned release we’re working on two separate tracks: an update to NUX following along the lines of the iOS update, and a native reader.
Windows Phone App Update
An update to the WordPress for Windows Phone has been submitted and we’re awaiting its review. This update adds gallery support for self-hosted blogs running WordPress 3.5 or higher, and fixes the top five bugs reported. We expect Microsoft to approve the app by Friday. Yay!
@daniloercoli noted that we’re seeing an issue with header of the xml files we get from Glotpress for use in localizing the app. Visual Studio treats the files as they are incorrectly formatted, even though the header visually appears okay. Not quite sure what the issue is but we pinged @markoheijnen about it for further investigation.
BlackBerry “legacy” app
We’ll be working on an update to the “legacy” BlackBerry app. The goal of this update is to address some connection issues that folks have been experiencing and to reintroduce the “Need Help” dialog and a direct link to contact support. We’ll also fix an issue we’ve found with the stats feature and jetpack blogs.
New contributor projects/tickets
@mrroundhill suggested we might identify tickets/features that would be good for a new contributor to pick up. This could be something as simple as tagging tickets in track. We thought this was a great idea and mrroundhill will be posting a follow up about it on the make blog.
A bug fix release is being prepped to submit to Apple. A lot of issues have already been addressed (https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS/compare/master…release;3.6.1) and we’re just trying to get one or two more into this release. We’ll most likely submit today or tomorrow.
WPiOS Native Reader
After some delays to get the last couple of features just right the required API changes are now being reviewed. We still have a few things left on our checklist. The next few days will be about getting the final graphics, implementing infinite scroll, and making sure everything works correctly on the iPad. We’re looking at finally having a beta of the native reader ready by Monday June 17th.
The next dev chat will be on June 19, 2013 at 15:00 UTC. Mark your calendar and join us in #wordpress-mobile on Freenode. | <urn:uuid:55e39d0b-c87e-4c63-8cf6-f4175818d830> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://make.wordpress.org/mobile/mentions/markoheijnen/ | 2016-10-27T14:44:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721347.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00185-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.927397 | 637 | [

network link speed
can anybody out there tell me how i can find out the link speed of my network card? I dont want to know how fast or how much data is been transferred but at what speed it is connected e.g. 10mb, 100mb or 1gb. I have recently upgraded my network to 1GB and it still seems to be running the same as it did when it was 100mb.
I know in windows the connection properties tell you at what speed the network is connected but i cant find a similar thing in linux.
my main computer is running Suse 9.3 and my server is running sles9.
any help will be much appreciated. | <urn:uuid:4246d4f8-56c4-4caa-a976-2c239a3e03f6> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/network-link-speed-581417/ | 2016-10-27T15:27:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721347.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00185-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.968499 | 139 | [

Here's a second way to cut your taxes long after the tax year has ended: fund your health-savings account (HSA) by April 15. Singles can make a deductible contribution of as much as $2,900; married couples, $5,800. HSAs are different from flexible-spending plans. In a flexible-spending plan (for health or dependent-child-care reimbursement), you make a pretax contribution but forfeit whatever you don't spend in a given year. With an HSA, you own the account, which typically is paired with a high-deductible health-insurance policy. Your contributions are tax deductible, and your account rolls over (and hopefully builds) each year. It can be drawn on at any time for out-of-pocket health-care expenses, and there are no income limits. | <urn:uuid:ba06641f-2d13-44ed-9f73-afb482a996cf> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1883654_1883632_1883617,00.html | 2016-10-28T18:04:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988725451.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183845-00247-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964198 | 175 | [

Atmosphere-Ocean Climate Interactions
What is upwelling? To understand upwelling, you must know that the rotation of the Earth causes moving objects to deflect along their paths - to the right in the Northern Hemisphere, and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This phenomenon - known as the Coriolis effect - acts on airplanes, artillery shells, and even ocean currents. The Coriolis effect combines with the predominantly equatorward (southward- blowing in the Northern Hemisphere) winds along the west coasts of the continents to create an offshore surface current. The upwelling process moves cooler nutrient-rich water up toward the surface to replace the original surface water. The primary effects of coastal upwelling are to maintain relatively cool water along the west coast of all continents, and to provide fertilization to surface waters - a key to the high biological productivity of these coastal regions. Upwelling also occurs along the equator and in the open ocean away from the eastern boundaries, but coastal upwelling is the most familiar and most ecologically important form of this process. PFEL provides estimates of upwelling along our coast and elsewhere for research purposes.

The Riviera hotel on South Church Street in George Town closed suddenly last week, with a bank giving employees two days’ notice before shuttering the hotel and bar and forcing out the dive shop by the end of the week, according to the owner of the dive shop and others familiar with the hotel.
The property, which sits between the towering tanks of the two fuel terminals on South Church Street, is listed for sale for US$7.2 million with Coldwell Banker.
Ben Fisher, one of the owners, told the Cayman Compass, “The Riviera has temporarily closed down and expects to reopen later this year under new management.”
The reason for the closing is unclear, and Mr. Fisher would not give additional comment. The property, which sits between the towering tanks of the two fuel terminals on South Church Street, is listed for sale by Coldwell Banker for US$7.2 million.
A pair of lawsuits in 2012, filed by Cayman National Bank, accuse The New Coconut Harbour Ltd., which owns The Riviera, of owing more than $5 million on the property. An electrical contractor filed a third lawsuit in July of this year, alleging the owner owed more than $100,000 for work and to refund a downpayment for an apartment at the hotel.
The attorney for Cayman National had no comment on the case. The real estate agent selling the property would not give any details on the property; however, The Riviera property is under contract, according to James Andrews, a hotel-industry analyst with Integra Realty Resources.
Ash Knight, owner of Go Pro Diving, which had a shop on the property, said a bank representative told them on Oct. 10 that they would have to be out by Wednesday. He said he was able to negotiate so they could remain until Oct. 14.
He said he has been able to make alternative arrangements for his employees and his shop, which was based in a converted metal container in the corner of the property.
“A lot of the diving community has pulled together to help us,” he said, and he still has access to classrooms and pools to teach the advanced diving courses his shop specializes in.
The Riviera, Grand Cayman, was marketed as a European-style boutique hotel. The first phase of the project included one long building along the property with 15 hotel rooms and 12 apartment units. The second phase never materialized, but news coverage at the time reported the plan was for 58 units, two bars, a spa and a fine-dining restaurant.
Mr. Fisher told the Compass at The Riviera’s 2010 launch party, “What we’re doing here is delivering the next generation of resort for Grand Cayman.”
The northern section of the property, slated as the site for a second building, still sits empty. The site for the building is a dirt lot used until recently as parking for the Blue Parrot bar.
The Riviera sits on the site of the old Casa Bertmar/Coconut Harbor dive hotel that dated to the 1960s. In 2001, Hurricane Michelle caused severe damage to the hotel and it remained closed for almost a decade. Mr. Fisher and New Coconut Harbour Ltd., including developer Mike Brown, reopened the hotel, renovating the old Coconut Harbor building in 2010.
Mr. Andrews, with Integra Realty Resources, said that despite the placement of the hotel, facing the ironshore between Cayman’s two fuel terminals, a hotel could make money in the spot.
Mr. Andrews said, “It would be feasible to run as a low-cost hotel with a dive shop on the site.” | <urn:uuid:709034aa-06bb-4a48-8b38-09b36078c137> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://www.caymancompass.com/2016/10/19/south-sound-hotel-the-riviera-closes-without-warning/ | 2016-10-28T17:53:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988725451.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183845-00247-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974293 | 765 | [

TWS Rescues a 350 lb Lion from Rural Minnesota
Recently, media representatives from the Twin Cities and neighboring South Dakota were present to document the move of a 3 1/2 year old, 350 pound male lion from a local farm to an accredited sanctuary in Mississippi by The Wildcat Sanctuary.
As staff members and reporters patiently waited for the lion to enter the transport crate on his own, TWS Executive Director Tammy Quist described to reporters that situations like this unfortunately are not unusual to TWS. In this case, five brothers purchased this lion as a cub from a Minnesota breeder. As the cute cuddly cub grew into an unhandleable, aggressive adult, the brothers moved him from the farm house to a cage in one of the out buildings where he lived until one of the brothers recently passed away. The remaining four brothers decided it was time for him to move to a location where he would be able to live outside among fellow lions and lionesses; this decision led them to The Wildcat Sanctuary.
Once the lion was prepared for transport, three TWS volunteers drove over a 21 hour period to bring the lion to an accredited sister sanctuary in eastern Mississippi. Another set of reporters and photographers were waiting at Cedarhill Animal Sanctuary when the volunteers and the lion arrived. As preparations were being made to move the transport carrier into place, Cedarhill Director Kay McElroy informed TWS representatives of the lion’s new name, Valentino.
It didn’t take Valentino long to come out of his transport crate to explore his new surroundings. Within minutes, Valentine was exploring his new habitat under the watchful, curious eye of his new neighbors.

It is likely that earthquakes in 1943 and 2000 contributed stress that brought the fault which ruptured today, closer to failure.
The one-week California Earthquake Advisory ended, following a week of increased seismicity near the southern portion of the San Andreas Fault.
The California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) issued an advisory stating the recent earthquake swam may have slightly increased the probability of additional earthquakes over the next week.
In April, Kumamoto, Japan was devastated by a series of large earthquakes. Now, Google Earth has updated 3D imagery, revealing the extent of damage.
At 7:31 a.m. local time, a M=4.3 earthquake shook the southern section of the San Andreas Fault, within the Brawley Seismic Zone.
A M=3.5 earthquake on the Hayward Fault shook the East Bay and Peninsula at 12:50 a.m. local time.
Could the moon really be a key to unlocking when large earthquakes will occur?
Answer: They are the ‘one percent.’
At 5:02 Saturday morning, a Magnitude 5.6 earthquake struck 14km NW of Pawnee, Oklahoma. This was a fairly shallow quake occurring about 6.59 km below Earth’s surface, and it caused strong shaking.
Based on early reports, the USGS estimates that there will be no casualties or major damage. However, some injuries or economic losses may still be possible.
At 4:37 am Friday morning, a M=7.1 earthquake struck off the east coast of New Zealand, 166 km northeast of Gisborne. This was a moderately deep quake, occurring about 20 km below Earth’s surface, and it caused moderate to strong shaking on land.
Last week’s M=6.2 Italy earthquake left many parts of the medieval city of Amatrice in ruin. In the old part of the city, most buildings were made of unreinforced masonry, leaving them susceptible to collapse [Guidoboni and Valensise, 2015]. Amatrice was all but destroyed in three large shocks over 19 days in 1703, and so the part of the town that was highly damaged on 24 August 2016 was composed of buildings largely constructed about 300 years ago. In contrast, the newer construction in the east side of the town came through the M=6.2 quake relatively unscathed.

A wonderful snowshoe for powder and (especially) wet…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $150
A wonderful snowshoe for powder and (especially) wet snow conditions.
- Very good floatation
- Quiet – no squeak or creak
- Heavy duty babiche can handle wet snow
- Spaced lacing does not accumulate snow as does Hypalon decking
- Require maintenance
The Faber Bear Paws, Heavy Duty Lacing come in a 14x30 inch version and a 16x30 inch version. Mine are the 16" wide version.
The first thing to know about traditional snowshoes is that they require maintenance. They should get at least one coat of spar varnish prior to their first use and between seasons. They should be brought in to dry between uses. Store them in an airy place out of direct sunlight and keep them off the floor or critters will snack on the babiche.
These snowshoes really excel under the following conditions:
- in the bush, where blowdown and secondary growth would hang up a set of snowshoes with a tail
- in wet snow — the surface area makes for great flotation, and the widely spaced lacing allows clumps of snow to fall through; snow does not stick to the wood frame as with aluminum tubing
- on flat or rolling terrain — I have climbed with them, but I find that narrower snowshoes work better for steeper pitches
- while photographing or hunting animals and birds — these snowshoes are so much quieter than aluminum frame or injected plastic models
- for survey and other forestry work — the short space between the front crossbar and the nose lets the wearer get up close
Look elsewhere if:
- you are a purely recreational user who is unlikely to give these snowshoes the TLC they deserve
- you expect to be spending a lot of time on crusty snow or ice
- you are going to spending time on a lot up in the hills; trads can work great in powder and wet snow in the mountains, but I advise going with the Elongated Bear Paw model for what are sure to be some narrow trails with switchbacks
- your time is going to be spent on open terrain — a model with an unturned nose (which is less likely to dig into drifts and send you faceplanting) and a tail (to help keep you and your snowshoes tracking straight out in the wind) will probably serve you better | <urn:uuid:44bd33b4-4b4c-4caa-aaa9-9ec35968408c> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.trailspace.com/gear/faber/bear-paw-heavy-duty-lacing/ | 2016-10-24T11:09:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719564.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00432-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.947699 | 517 | [

During a video shoot in Santa Clarita, a Miley Cyrus wardrobe malfunction occurred. For those of you wondering how this Miley Cyrus wardrobe malfunction occurred, you don’t really have to dig too far. The teen is known for wearing some rather provocative, low-cut clothing. The Miley Cyrus wardrobe malfunction happened in front of some 15 crew members on a shoot. One could imagine how much of an embarrassing experience this Miley Cyrus wardrobe malfunction probably was. Miley was sporting a very low-cut dress, which in return caused a Miley Cyrus nip slip.
This Miley Cyrus nip slip is gaining national attention very quickly. Some major publications are reporting about it this morning, and the news is spreading like wildfire. Not many of you will be surprised by this Miley Cyrus nip slip, for many have alleged that Miley Cyrus is following the same road as Britney Spears and other arguably ruined celebrities. The Miley Cyrus nip slip is expected to lead to some firings, especially in the wardrobe department. Why Miley Cyrus agreed to wear what they had picked out for her is out of our comprehension.
The Miley Cyrus boob slip is one of a number of events that are leading people to charge that the teen is out of control. Remember, Miley is only 16 years old, a very fragile age. She has been engaged in some rather questionable behavior recently, and this Miley Cyrus boob slip incident is just one more event that adds to growing speculation that she’s headed down a bad road.
The Miley Cyrus nipple slip is going to be discussed on and on again for a while now. Who is to blame at the moment remains unexplained, however, many will point the incident to Miley’s doings. Such accusations, do have some merit. The Miley Cyrus nipple slip might have been prevented by her.
If any additional details are made available about the Miley Cyrus slip we will bring them to you. This is just a developing story, so there are additional details to be had. The Miley Cyrus slip story will be covered in more detail when further information is receieved.
Celebrity breast pics are known to make spread over the internet on wildfire. However, this celebrity breast pic is not likely to be subject to such spread as it features a minor.

Case in point, the celebrity breast slip up that occured not too long ago on national television. | <urn:uuid:6fe3a994-2d8a-4207-987d-e45d7efc540b> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://el-comentario.com/celebrity/miley-cyrus-nipple-slip/ | 2016-10-25T11:59:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720062.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00494-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962715 | 510 | [

Chain, Chain, Chain What is going on in the Civic Center? Once upon a time, you could have a decent meal in and around Redwood Alley, when the original Stars reigned the neighborhood. Today, in addition to the McDonald's and Chevy's, you will soon find a branch of California Pizza Kitchen, similar in spirit to those in Concord and Palo Alto (not to mention Vegas, Jersey, and Guam). How nice. Now when the suburbanites make their annual trek into town to take the kiddies to The Nutcracker they won't be confused by any fine dining choices. In fact, it will be just like the mall. Isn't that super?
Bruno's Redux John Varnedoe vehemently denies that his recently bought-back Bruno's restaurant is for sale again. Why do these rumors keep circulating? Harry stopped by last week on a Wednesday to check out the scene and was sorry to see a definite lack of hipsters enjoying the great food and jazz. Where have all the hipsters gone? Perhaps they're all sucking down fresh air at the new oxygen bar on Valencia, 22 O 2. Or perhaps Bruno's emptiness is just a midweek phenomenon. In any case, Harry highly recommends that you check out Bruno's music listings at www.brunoslive.com, then get yourself to the club for your own dose of jazz hipness.
Dry Dock Yankee Pier, Bradley Ogden's latest culinary adventure, opened last week in Larkspur, just down the road from the Lark Creek Inn (and firmly on dry ground). With a changing menu put together by Bradley himself, chef/partner Jeremy Sewall, and chef de cuisine Jack Mitchell, the Pier brings the Bay Area its own headquarters for homesick New Englanders. The spread features such Northeastern specialties as classic New England clam chowder, fried Ipswich clams with orange watercress salad, whole Maine lobster, and a "Grandma's Platter" of barbecue brisket, to name a few. The above can be washed down with a hearty selection of American beers -- or, if you must be classy, you can choose from among 20 native wines, available by the glass. Of course, you'll have to drive your cah to Lahkspuh to get theah, but Harry thinks there's a little Kennedy in all of us just looking for some chowder love. | <urn:uuid:ef15cdc0-4574-4ad5-a345-4c00fb694c92> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://archives.sfweekly.com/sanfrancisco/side-dish/Content?oid=2140227 | 2016-10-26T14:00:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720945.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00556-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.945899 | 491 | [

School may be out for the summer, but IT managers in educational institutions from K-12 to universities are busy with maintaining, replacing, or repairing PC equipment to get ready for the fall. Today, computers have become a necessity to keep educational institutions functioning, and everyone from the students to the educators to the administrative staff relies upon them. Colleges and universities have been heavy users of computers for decades, but more recently, K-12 education is keeping pace. Computers have become so prevalent that even small schools or school districts have their own IT departments to manage their PC resources.
The U.S. Department of Education tracks IT usage in public school systems in the U.S., and as of the fall of 2008, 100% of public schools had one or more instructional computers with Internet access. The ratio of students to computer was 3.1:1. Of the computers in public schools, 91 percent were used for instructional purposes. The rest were likely used by administrative staff. Among the students, data from an earlier study in 2003, found that 80% of students already use computers by the time they are in kindergarten, 91% in grades 1 through 5, 95% in grades 6 through 8, and in grades 9-12, 97% use computers. Those numbers are probably even higher today. Students are using computers to complete school assignments, do word processing, email, and of course, play games.
Colleges and universities have been using computers since they were invented; indeed, some universities had a hand in inventing them to begin with. Universities initially used mainframe computers with terminals to meet their administration and research needs. The higher-end research facilities at universities may have even owned a supercomputer. As computer technology evolved, universities then moved to client-server models and internal networks connecting desktop PCs, and now are gradually moving into cloud computing. As long as needs for security and reliability are met, university IT departments can use cloud computing to operate on a “server-less” basis. However, staff, students and faculty will still need desktop PCs to access the applications that operate in the cloud.
Along with using PC technology for administration and research, computers are used for all university operations, instruction, communications, logistics, and planning. Universities would be hard pressed to even exist without computers today.
Funding and budgets are always an issue for educational institutions, and since IT budgets are a mission-critical part of administrative operations, IT managers face challenges on how to provide the best technology they can with smaller budgets. Even though computer hardware prices have decreased over time and with volume discounts, it’s still a big piece of the budget. That usually means repairing instead of replacing computers, and keeping them in service longer.
Will computers ever replace humans for education? To some extent, they already have with the popularity of e-learning via the Internet. With broadband connections widely available and affordable, even complex graphics and presentations can be transmitted and viewed in real time. The other advantage is that web-based learning can be done anywhere, any time. Even though computers speed up mundane tasks and help us visualize or compute data, it still requires human interaction to facilitate effective learning, even if it’s via audio during an Internet session. Computers are here to stay in education, but so are teachers and professors to guide and direct the learning.
What do you think the future will bring for computers in education? | <urn:uuid:6776cdea-5632-4064-acbb-a6a262a77a27> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.cybernetman.com/blog/computer-use-in-education/ | 2016-10-26T13:10:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720945.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00556-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.966552 | 694 | [

Ron Burkle's Swimming Pool in the Sky
BUYER: Ron Burkle
SELLER: Jonathan Leitersdorf
LOCATION: 704 Broadway, New York, NY
PRICE: $17,500,000 / monthly charges: $7,836
SIZE: 11,000 square feet (approx.), 5 bedrooms 5.5 bathrooms
DESCRIPTION: One of the most unique and spectacular homes in the world, this Penthouse triplex home in the sky boasts: 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths, 2 powder rooms, 13'-17' ceilings, more than 50 windows, and a landscaped forest alongside a heated outdoor swimming pool...Unmatched amenities include two separate professional grade kitchens, W/D on each level, exquisitely detailed with massive Danish Tudor wood burning fireplace, two separate sound systems controlled from every room with speaker throughout.
YOUR MAMAS NOTES: Braden Keil, the virtuoso celebrity real estate writer at the New York Post, was on fire this week telling all us disciples about half a dozen big buys and sells in and around New York City including some juicy tidbits about the sale of a very well known downtown Manhattan penthouse that former owner Jonathan Lietersdorf recently sold to billionaire grocery store tycoon Ron Burkle.
The triplex penthouse sits atop a non-descript building, called "The Dandy," that offers residents a central location near the Bowery Bar and BondSt, but no luxury amenities such as a doorman, which might be the least one could expect when coughing up nearly $20,000,000 for a Manhattan penthouse.
Built by venture capitalist Mister Lietersdorf as a pied a terre for himself, the residence doubled as an event space called Sky Studios that could be rented for private parties, photos shoots, and other such glamorous and typically New York functions. Sex and the City shot at least one episode here, presidential daughter Chelsea Clinton had a birthday party here, and Jerry Seinfeld was married in the gargantuan living room on the first level.
The 11,000 square foot behemoth has ridiculously high ceilings, 50+ windows, walls of glass, a panic room behind the library bookcases, and a carpet of green grass and a small "forest" on the Eastern terrace. But by far the most remarkable and notable feature of the aerie is the heated swimming pool that hangs over the city with 360 degree views as far as the eye can see.
Mister Lietersdorf first put this impressive home on the market in 2002 for $27,500,000, but had to reduce the price over the years to it's final asking price of $18,750,000 before anyone took the plunge to purchase the 5 bedroom 5.5 bathroom mansion in the sky.
According the the NY Post and records on file with the city, the Los Angeles based Mister Burkle, who pocketed billions from buying and selling huge grocery store chains, paid $17,500,000 for the penthouse that Your mama imagines he will use infrequently.
While he comes from modest means and is often thought of as a very down to earth guy (for a billionaire), the famously private jeans wearing Mister Burkle is no stranger to a large and lavish lifestyle and travels in a private 757 airplane. Lawhd children, just imagine Mister Burkle's yearly fuel bill for that steel bird.
In California, where he lives in an extremely posh section of Beverly Hills in a legendary 23,114 square foot house on a deliciously beautiful estate called "Green Acres," his nearby neighbors include fellow billionaire Miss David Geffen, filthy rich dee-vorcé Suzanne Saperstein, and Paris's grand daddy Baron Hilton, just to name a few.
Unless this purchase was simply an investment and/or a convenient place to park a wad of cash, Your Mama can't imagine Mister Burkle will continue to lease the place out for the weddings and bar mitzvahs of Manhattan's demi monde. But then again, it's hard to believe that even a down to earth billionaire would call a doorman-less building home.

After 6 years of patience, we finally have a nice crop of apples on our three little trees. Coming from California where as a kid we had peach, apricot, plum, and apple trees, pomegranates, grapes, blackberries, and plentiful strawberries, I am always excited for anything that will actually grow in our extremely short Montana growing season. I whipped up a gluten free apple crisp to celebrate our harvest.
Gluten Free Apple Crisp
Peel and chop enough apples to fill a greased 9x13 pan. Sprinkle and toss with some cinnamon and sugar (gluten free brands of course if you have to be gluten free).
1 C. gluten free oats
1 C. brown sugar
1 C. gluten free baking mix (I used Pamelas--by far the best we have found)
some shakes of cinnamon
Spread over the top of the apples. Melt 3/4 C. butter and pour over the top. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for about 45 min. Uncover and bake another 15 minutes or until apples are tender and the top is crisp. Serve with gluten free ice cream--mmm! | <urn:uuid:4b308b0b-5e60-4c45-a5c3-f6af852cc42e> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.beyondthepicket-fence.com/2011/09/apple-time.html | 2016-10-28T21:33:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988725475.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183845-00113-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.893073 | 236 | [

A short-term increase in cancer risk associated with daytime napping is likely to reflect pre-clinical disease: prospective cohort study.
Cairns BJ., Travis RC., Wang XS., Reeves GK., Green J., Beral V., Million Women Study Collaborators None.
BACKGROUND: Sleep disturbance, a correlate of which is daytime napping, has been hypothesised to be associated with risk of breast and other cancers. METHODS: We estimated relative risks (RR) of breast and other invasive cancers by the reported frequency of daytime napping in a large prospective cohort of middle-aged women in the UK. RESULTS: During an average of 7.4 years of follow-up, 20 058 breast cancers and 31 856 other cancers were diagnosed. Over the first 4 years of follow-up, daytime napping (sometimes/usually vs rarely/never) was associated with slightly increased risks of breast cancer (RR=1.10, 95% CI 1.06-1.15) and of other cancers (RR=1.12, 1.08-1.15), but the RRs decreased significantly with increasing follow-up time (P=0.001 and P=0.01, respectively, for trend). Four or more years after baseline, there was no elevated risk of breast cancer (RR=1.00, 0.96-1.05), and only marginally greater risk of other cancers (RR=1.04, 1.01-1.07). CONCLUSION: The effect of pre-clinical disease is a likely explanation for the short-term increased risk of breast and other cancers associated with daytime napping. | <urn:uuid:ea28febd-d01b-4143-bcd1-46f1ef540b38> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://www.ceu.ox.ac.uk/publications/342204 | 2016-10-28T21:31:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988725475.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183845-00113-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.938741 | 341 | [

- Starting immediately, I will be moving to a 3 day week. Boss Man agrees with me on the fact that there is crap-all work to keep me busy for 5 days.
- I will also begin learning the accounting and payroll processes ASAP. The aim is to purchase online tutorials and work my way through the same. Hopefully, these will have been designed well enough for me to figure everything out. I have until April 1st to master these new skills!
- In April, assuming that all those new contracts will come in as planned, I will move back to a full time basis with a salary increase for the added accounting and payroll duties.
- With reference to current pay, of course I was cheeky and asked if I would continue to get paid for a 5 day week as I pointed out that the studying that I would be doing in the off time would be effectively FOR work. Boss Man agreed to pay me for 4 days and cover travel expenses. Not a bad deal, I thought.
So, that's the plan for the next wee bit. (note the use of Scottish terminology!) Hopefully, things go well with picking up the accounting process. And so, the hunt for the p/t job begins as well. I'll keep it simple - grocery stores and local shops in the neighbourhood. Lord knows I don't want to be travelling hours in another direction for minimum wage!
My volunteer work with the charity goes on. We are neck deep in preparations for the next big fundraiser event (another black tie ball) that will take place on February 12. It would be so PERFECT if the charity would just offer to hire me on p/t. But.... that's just wistfull thinking! Still, its not all that bad a situation and I hope that things will work out. Eventually! | <urn:uuid:064af089-5a67-4636-9269-3b9c88f9ee71> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://nixandknacks.blogspot.com/2010/02/update-on-job-front.html | 2017-11-19T06:47:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805417.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119061756-20171119081756-00679.warc.gz | en | 0.974397 | 371 | [

A new interactive exhibit showing visitors the environmental benefits of the zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell has launched.
Due to Hyundai’s donations, a new interactive exhibit at the TELUS World of Science in Vancouver has opened.
Science World has over 650,000 visitors a year and now they’ll be able to experience the environmental benefits of the zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell in this brand new and exciting exhibit.
Based on a classic driving game, the exhibit invites visitors sit down and virtually drive a Tuscon Fuel Celled Electric Vehicle. Throughout the game, players answer a series of true or false questions (all based on hydrogen fuel cell technology as well as electric and gas technologies) while also trying to avoid the obstacles on the virtual course. Like traditional driving games, their scores depend on how well they can avoid the obstacles as well as how many questions they can correctly answer. After crossing the finish line, players are invited to learn more about the environmental impacts of hydrogen as well as other vehicle fuel technologies.
“Science World is committed to providing learning opportunities for visitors of all ages and much of what we do wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of partners and sponsors such as Hyundai,” says Science World President and Ceo, Bryan Tisdall.
The exhibit is set to be in place for the next three years. | <urn:uuid:6e8530f6-8d87-44ce-95b3-509912ed6d44> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://doubleclutch.ca/new-science-world-exhibit-opening-thanks-to-hyundai/ | 2017-11-20T02:17:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805894.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120013853-20171120033853-00679.warc.gz | en | 0.959235 | 278 | [
