I’ve tried other types of sugar but raw sugars tend to have subtle flavors of their own (most notably molasses) that will show up in the final product. If that sounds ok to you, give it a whirl, but I didn’t like it. I’ve also heard that you should not stir the sugar but rather let the low boil mix the two instead. I’ve tried it both ways and never noticed a difference. Once the simple syrup cools down (completely, to room temperature) you can just add it to the lemon/liquor infusion, screw the lid back on and shake the jar. Mark on the label the date you mixed the infusion with the simple syrup.
Desecresy approach Finnish death metal the way others might approach doom metal, using melody and abstract song structures to convey an experience not unlike watching the helmet camera of a pilot flying through a vast and ancient underground cave in which demons seem to lurk behind every stalagtite. Comparable to a hybrid between Amorphis and Skepticism, this album nonetheless keeps up the umptempo riffing and lets its melodies emerge to construct an emanating atmosphere. The result is both aggressive and enjoyable from a purely death metal perspective, but where appropriate, it uses the moods of doom metal to complete that raging insanity to produce an experience that is like a journey. There are doubts, fears, joys, rage and sadness, but pervading all of it is a sonorous melancholy which indicates a change in viewing life from orientation toward what is safe, to prizing what is adventurous and as such being alone on a planet of people concerned with safety labels and microwave cooking. Drawn and Quartered – Feeding Hell’s Furnace Imagine a hybrid between Angelcorpse and Num Skull. These songs are extremely basic, like the melodies of horror movies, but are put together with interlocking rhythms that propel them forward and give them atmosphere. As a result, their themes feel intuitive like paths through a forest remembered from a childhood story. There will not be surprise at the ways these tunes twist and bend, but appreciation for a well-done interpretation on a necessary idea. In the same way you might appreciate an excellent sword or well-executed painting of a familiar subject, these songs will be appreciated for how well they do what they love. Just as most musicians make their best work when they design it to be enjoyed repeatedly by people with their own tastes, this faithful and yet creative interpretation of the old school death metal genre will be shared among those who can appreciate it, for taking the past and making it live on by keeping it current to itself and through inventiveness, an enjoyable listen.
If the pixels representing the ball are in the middle of the screen now and were a bit to the left a second ago, they will probably shift a bit to the right in the future, because the ball movement is simulated to follow a physical law and keeps its direction until it hits an obstacle.Now take a step back and imagine a game of pong which does not follow any rules we already knew as a baby. Let’s say the ball just appears anywhere on the screen in a pattern that is predictable, but very hard to spot. Would we still fare better than the A.I. programs? Certainly not. In fact, the machine would probably beat us to finding such an unnatural pattern.If we want to understand the challenges of A.I., for example in the field of Brood War, we must think like a machine. When a machine is fired up for the first time it knows nothing. Absolutely nothing at all. No wonder a neural net takes a very large number of iterations to become good at a particular task if it has to rediscover all of nature’s laws via trial and error first, right?Let’s apply this line of thinking to Brood War and ask some questions that seem silly to us, because we instantly know the answer:Now try answering these questions imagining you have no previous understanding whatsoever and start with a blank state.Let's pick the rush distance as an example: Without knowing or having an intuition about s = V / s (time = speed / distance) how could you possibly connect the dots to conclude that a shorter distance between bases will make the enemy units arrive sooner? Remember the A.I. doesn't know anything unless it is told! (you don't want your bot to have to rediscover classic physics on its own every time you start it...)Recently I saw an old edition of Brood War “pimpest plays”. Video: + Show Spoiler + At the 2 minute mark the zerg player needs gas, but his last drone is threatened by a Wraith. The impressive solution is to repeatedly use dark swarm to protect the drone from the Wraith, escorting the drone step by step all the way to the geyser. How did the human player come up with this creative solution? He did the following reasoning within seconds:How will a bot ever be able to devise such a plan?
SENATOR RAND PAUL (R-KENTUCKY): Well, you know, I think we have a lot of debates in Washington that get dumbed-down and are used for political purposes. This whole sort of War on Women thing, I'm scratching my head because if there was a war on women, I think they won. You know, the women in my family are incredibly successful. I have a niece at Cornell Vet school and 85 percent of the young people there are women. In law school, 60 percent are women. In med school, 55 percent. My younger sister is an ob-gyn with six kids and doing great. You know, I don't see so much that women are downtrodden. I see women rising up and doing great things. In fact, I worry about our young men sometimes because I think the women really are out-competing the men in our world. DAVID GREGORY, HOST: But my question about whether you think it's appropriate for the Party, key figures in the Party to be talking about women, women's health, women's bodies and the role of the federal government related to those things. PAUL: I try never to have discussions of anatomy unless I'm at a medical conference. But what I would say is that we didn't start this sort of, I think, glossy and sometimes dumbed-down debate about, you know, there being a war on women. I think the facts show that women are doing very well, have come a long way, and, you know, like I say, I have a lot of successful women in my family and I don't hear them saying, “Oh woe is me, this terrible, you know, misogynist world.” They look out and they're conquering the world. The women in my family are doing great, and that's what I see in all the statistics coming out. I have, you know, young women in my office that are the leading intellectual lights of our office. So I don't really see this, that there's some sort of war that's, you know, keeping women down. I see women doing great, and I think we should extol that success and not dumb it down into a political campaign that somehow one party doesn't like women or that. And I think that's what's happened. It's all been for political purposes.

This happen twice since I had it. Power button: The button is hard to press and sometimes you have to hit it again to make sure your finger touches it. If you have an microSD card in the slot sometimes you will mistake of the power button and popping out the SD card. This is dude to the fact that the power button and SD card nearly feels the same and being so close together. Something you will encounter in tablet mode. Just a mild annoyance in my opinion. No dedicated volume button: This would have came in handy for tablet mode. Fn keys with brightness isn't responsive: It's strange. The brightness Fn keys isn't responsive. It also lags the brightness many times after you press the keys. Out of everything this seems to be the most confusing because if you use the touchscreen to change the brightness its smooth and responsive. Maybe its Dell or maybe its Windows? Arrow keys need space from PgUP / PgDn: They are way too close to the arrow keys to the PgUP/PgDn. You may end up hitting these way more then expected. This should not be this close to the arrow keys at all. All in all with some of the shortcomings I still love this thing. I love using it, I love this display, and I love the portability of it. Its extremely versatile and a phenomenal productivity tool. Dell's 2 in 1 is a little bit on the pricey side but for something like this I can see why. You don't get anymore premium then this in a windows ultrabook. I would certainly recommend this to co-workers / family / and friends. Dell is bringing in a new era for themselves and pushing there limits of design.

Tunnel Fighter You excel at defending narrow passages, doorways, and other tight spaces. As a bonus action, you can enter a defensive stance that lasts until the start of your next turn. While in your defensive stance, you can make opportunity attacks without using your reaction, and you can use your reaction to make a melee attack against a creature that moves more than 5 feet while within your reach. Two-Weapon Fighting When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack. Mutation At 2nd level the power of your infestation starts to rapidly grow, adapt, and mutate. You gain Mutation Points determined by your Infested level, as shown in Mutation Points column of the Infested table. These can be used to increase or alter your abilities. You regain all Mutation Points after a short or long rest. You also gain the following mutation options: Mutate Eyes. You can spend 1 Mutation Point to gain advantage on a Wisdom (Perception) check. Mutate Body. You can spend 1 Mutation Point to gain advantage on your next attack. Mutate Arms. You can spend 1 Mutation Point to increase your critical hit range to 19-20 for your next attack. Mutate Legs. You can spend 1 Mutation Point to take the Disengage or Dash Actions as a Bonus Action. Evolutionary Path At 3rd level you choose in what way your symbiote evolves. Select one of the following Evolutionary Paths; Defensive Evolution or Mobility Evolution. These paths are detailed at the end of this class description Adaptation At 3rd level, your living armor will adapt to adverse conditions if you take a short or long rest in it. This prevents you from taking damage from proximity to hazardous elements and from suffering exhaustion while traveling in the extreme conditions. Ability Score Improvement When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. Extra Attack At 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. Blood Purification At 6th level, the symbiotic armor within you purifies your blood, making you resistant to poison and immune to disease.

I understand that for many people GMK represents a large sum of your invested money and that it is completely natural to feel emotional when talking about it, but please refrain from blowing anything here out of proportion.Nobody is trying to instill the fear that GMK will cease to make good products. However, regardless of how great things are, mechanical keyboard users will typically investigate potential doubts and effective solutions or alternatives. That's what gets us out of rubber dome land in the first place.This thread is here to, not to defend or attack GMK and the quality of its products. That would be an opinion/debate/discussion thread separate from this one.This thread exists to bring light (no pun intended) to recent observations of the light leaking issue. It's purely an aesthetic issue, so it is not particularly interesting to those that do not use backlight. It may be urgent to some and meaningless to others. That's fine, but that is also a debate that deserves a separate thread.GMK is a for-profit company. I don't think its unreasonable to speculate that recent changes in products may be the result of a business strategy. Most intentional changes in a for-profit company are for just that; profit.On the other hand, we have no idea whether or not this change was intentional. I also agree with what CPTBadAss said: suppliers can change or the supply itself can demonstrate variance. If this is the case, then its likely that GMK may not even be aware that this change ever occurred, leaving the investigation to us, and thus giving more purpose to this thread.My point is, be it intentional or unintentional, for profit or not for profit, backlight user or not, painted underside keycaps or not, the issue exists and mechanical keyboard users canfrom it gaining recognition and investigation.The charred orange / skidata pictures in this thread clearly show that a change was made resulting in GMK keycaps becoming more translucent. I believe that if we gather more "hard evidence" we can 1) make better educated guesses in what happened in case we do not get an answer from GMK and 2) help GMK recognize the issue and give them information they need to address it.This thread is not here to crucify GMK, it is only here to help centralize the information regarding this matter and potentially related manufacturing irregularities.

"It starts off with nostalgia for me... the map at the beginning, I spent World War Two at Los Alamos, working on the Fat Man device. My job was to study what the neutrons did. I know more about neutrons than you would ever want to ask. "My daughter took me to see this film, and here was this nutcake, our hero, lobotomized, head bobbing. A cop stops him, opens the trunk, and -- voila! He's neutronized!" Sam had no doubt there was a Neutron Bomb in Otto's trunk.
Well for a start it gives everyone the basic means to survive in the world, which is so obviously necessary and ethically sound it needs no further explanation.It allows people more time to plan their careers and study, to decide what they want to become in the future and to work towards it rather than being stuck in the trap of low pay work.It’s been shown to increase economic activity on a local scale by giving people the means to launch small businesses and projects, and it reinforces local markets by increasing household buying power.Basic Income gives parents more time to spend with their children, and those who study more time to focus on their scholastic endeavours.The rate of wealth increase at all incomes becomes positive.It even has a lower overall cost than current means-tested social welfare programs.Two basic income pilot projects have been underway in India since January 2011. According to the first communication of the pilot projects, positive results have been found. Villages spent more on food and healthcare, children’s school performance improved in 68 percent of families, time spent in school nearly tripled, personal savings tripled, and new business startups doubled.“People say, ‘That’s not fair. Where’s the money going to come from? Who’s gonna pay for it?’ The answer is the machine. The machine pays for it, because the machine works for the manufacturer and for the community.”Alan Watts, as usual, hits the nail on the head here. We’re told that we need to work for the machine, to work for the bosses, to prove our worth to society. This is backwards. Our worth is our lives, our existences, our individuality. We should be under no obligation to prove to anyone that we have a right to live.Nor should we work to maintain a system that offers us nothing fair in return. Technology and government should be played out for the enrichment of human experience, and if they begin to work to it’s detriment, they are toxic, tumours made of bad ideas which must be cut out before the cancer spreads.If you want to find out more about Basic Income, follow the links below.

That's probably what I am asked the most when someone discovers (either through word-of-mouth or an introduction from a mutual friend) that I host a Hero Builds project in Dota 2. It's also my least asked question because their facial expression tells it all.Very recently, I had lost my job here in Copenhagen, Denmark. A corporate move that pulled the rug from a start-up project. We were collateral damage of an entire department's closing and that's really the end of that story (though, I'm very happy for what I got to do and who I got meet because of it - including attending my first Dota event; thank you ESL). In search of new work, I got to talk to some interesting people and interesting new ideas.With these new people comes their piqued curiosity about the Dota Hero Builds. They see the number (80+ million with 5 to 6 million new subscriptions every month) and their eyes light up. Not out of amazement, curiosity or skepticism (80+ million subscriptions from a game that has 11+ million monthly users? ), but for the green.They ask two questions:and that stings a bit. It stings how disingenuous people can immediately become. Their snaky persona of wanting to strive for more by latching themselves onto another [even when they, themselves, have done so much more in their years] really angers me. I don't think the above paragraph really outlines the whole process, as it comes across one way or another, but in the end; they see a number, they wonder how they can incorporate this naive person into their plans to get a new slice of monetary pie and when I tell him that there is no money involved; they put the fork back in the drawer and move on almost immediately. Would I want to be friends or work with these people anyways? Obviously not, but I'm also in a position where I can't call them out on it, on their flaws; especially when I have so many myself. "Why don't you?" From close friends, I'll get the follow-up: "Well, why don't you?" and to be honest, I don't want to . I have a strong history of a career and achievements that I'm very proud of. Many of my friends are still in college or just starting to get work, and so for them, the extra money makes sense; especially when, in their view, it's "free work".
"Under the Oslo Accords of 1993, the Palestinian Authority oversees parts of the Jordan Valley, like the town of al-Ouja. But most of the land is under the control of Israeli security forces.Critics say the Palestinians lose a great deal of their water through waste and faulty pipes.Many Palestinians believe that the Israeli government is trying to force them off their land. The government denies this.Regardless, statistics show that Palestinian agricultural production in the Jordan Valley has been declining for some 20 years.
Earlier this week, Argentinians suffered from another wake up call.will no longer accept money transfers between USD and Argentinian Pesos. At the end of May, new stricter regulations on Argentina’s currency exchange prevented Google from even paying Android developers. With extreme inflation, a devalued currency, and increased and extreme regulations, Argentinians are looking to invest wisely and find alternative methods for buying and selling goods. The Bitcoin community is constantly growing in Argentina, but this week’s announcement bywill inevitably spark an even greater interest in the Bitcoin currency.With a devalued Argentinian Peso, Argentinian citizens are looking to invest in a currency with a potential for greater value. Bitcoin permits Argentinians to not only have control over currency apart from a centralized source but also an opportunity to purchase products with ease internationally. Bitcoin opens the door to the global economy and allows for Argentinians to purchase goods from sellers within the country and internationally.With a crippled national economy, Bitcoin brings life and opportunity to the financial future of many Argentinians. As Forbes Contributor, Jon Matonis highlighted in his article, “Bitcoin’s Promise in Argentina,” the benefits of Bitcoin when compared to paper cash are high. Recently, BitcoinFilm.org produced a short documentary about Bitcoin in Argentina. As Argentinian leadership continues to impose price controls and monetary exchange restrictions, the Bitcoin community continues to grow and thrive.For most Argentinians, Bitcoin is a more viable source of savings, than pesos in the bank. With inflation nearing 30%, Argentinians are less concerned about the volatility of the Bitcoin currency than the government permitted devaluation of the Argentinian Peso. With the black market as the main means for acquiring the US dollar in Argentina, Bitcoin is not only legal, but a more valuable investment for Argentinians. When faced with the decision to hold onto a devalued currency or take the step to invest in the Bitcoin currency with great potential for growth, Argentinians should have an easy decision to make. La Revista de Bitcoin quiere dar felicitaciones a la communidad de Bitcoin en Argentina por el crecimiento de Bitcoin en este país
Serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs), the first-line pharmacological treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), have two limitations: incomplete symptom relief and 2-3 months lag time before clinically meaningful improvement. New medications with faster onset are needed. As converging evidence suggests a role for the glutamate system in the pathophysiology of OCD, we tested whether a single dose of ketamine, a non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor antagonist, could achieve rapid anti-obsessional effects. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design, drug-free OCD adults (n=15) with near-constant obsessions received two 40-min intravenous infusions, one of saline and one of ketamine (0.5 mg/kg), spaced at least 1-week apart. The OCD visual analog scale (OCD-VAS) and the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) were used to assess OCD symptoms. Unexpectedly, ketamine's effects within the crossover design showed significant (p<0.005) carryover effects (ie, lasting longer than 1 week). As a result, only the first-phase data were used in additional analyses. Specifically, those receiving ketamine (n=8) reported significant improvement in obsessions (measured by OCD-VAS) during the infusion compared with subjects receiving placebo (n=7). One-week post-infusion, 50% of those receiving ketamine (n=8) met criteria for treatment response (≥35% Y-BOCS reduction) vs 0% of those receiving placebo (n=7). Rapid anti-OCD effects from a single intravenous dose of ketamine can persist for at least 1 week in some OCD patients with constant intrusive thoughts. This is the first randomized, controlled trial to demonstrate that a drug affecting glutamate neurotransmission can reduce OCD symptoms without the presence of an SRI and is consistent with a glutamatergic hypothesis of OCD.

In a recent Washington Post opinion piece, “Why a Mars landing could be terrible for science,” Emily Lakdawalla argues that contamination concerns on Mars might be grounds to refuse to send astronauts to the surface of Mars anytime soon. According to many Mars scientists, we have the data and have done the analyses that indicate that most places on Mars are, in fact, “non-special”: Earth microbes cannot reproduce there. Unquestionably, special care must be taken not to contaminate Mars (or Earth), but her position isn’t necessarily representative of many experts in the Mars science community. In fact, her argument is so risk averse that, taken to its logical conclusion, it would make any type of human exploration of the Red Planet virtually impossible. Potentially life-supporting environments, known as “Special Regions,” must, of course, be given special consideration. However, NASA and the broader science community have not been able to identify to date a single location on Mars that satisfies either the definition or the intent of such a region. According to many Mars scientists, we have the data and have done the analyses that indicate that most places on Mars are, in fact, “non-special”: Earth microbes cannot reproduce there. It’s recognized that while there are Martian locations for which insufficient data exists to establish whether those locations are “special” or not, NASA’s Planetary Protection policy treats these uncertain areas as if they are special until more data can be collected and analyzed. Mars is largely an unknown world, and it holds many mysteries, unknowns, and wonders. That is why we are exploring it. We have the tools of modern science, including those of physics and chemistry, to help us to investigate, learn about, and respond to, any unknowns that we might encounter along the way, and we should not hesitate to use those tools. All these tools will be greatly enhanced when wielded by human explorers on the surface of the Red Planet. If we were to wait until we understand all these unknowns prior to sending humans to Mars, it is likely that we will never send humans—and, as a result, we will never solve those unknowns. The human exploration of Mars will almost certainly be terrific, not terrible, for science. To be clear, planetary protection concerns must be addressed when humans explore Mars, but current planetary protection protocols do not, as yet, address future human missions.
For example, if F ( n ) = n F(n) = n F(n)=n then ( G ( F ) ) ( n ) = F ( n − 1 ) + F ( n − 2 ) = n − 1 + n − 2 = 2 n − 3 (G(F))(n) = F(n - 1) + F(n-2) = n - 1 + n - 2 = 2n - 3 (G(F))(n)=F(n−1)+F(n−2)=n−1+n−2=2n−3 . Notice that since G G G takes a function and returns a function, we can think of it as a dynamical system. The natural question to ask then is whether this dynamical system has fixed points. A fixed point of G G G would be precisely a function that would satisfy F ( n ) = ( G ( F ) ) ( n ) = F ( n − 1 ) + F ( n − 2 ) F(n) = (G(F))(n) = F(n - 1) + F(n-2) F(n)=(G(F))(n)=F(n−1)+F(n−2) . Hence any function satisfying the Fibonacci recursion is a fixed point of this dynamical system. Is it possible to find fixed points of a meta-function such as G G G in general? The Y combinator does exactly this. A Python version of the combinator looks like the following: Y = lambda f : ( lambda x : x ( x ))( lambda x : f ( lambda y : x ( x )( y ))) Combining this with G G G given above, we can calculate the Fibonacci numbers recursively, using anonymous lambdas entirely: print ( lambda f : ( lambda x : x ( x )) ( lambda x : f ( lambda y : x ( x )( y ))))( lambda f : ( lambda n : n if n < 2 else ( f ( n - 1 ) + f ( n - 2 ))))( 10 ) # Prints F(10) = 55 Pretty cool, right? Of course, this is just having fun with theory. Needless to say, don't write anything like this in production code!

But she is, right now, the best hope for forward progress in America. She is the only electable Democratic running. And the more I have thought about her, her career and her candidacy, the more I have come to think that she is actually kind of awesome.That doesn’t mean I don’t like Bernie Sanders. It just means I want to win.
It is a tremendous advantage for anyone using an existing VM. Many folks don't realize how much effort is required to build a new VM from scratch. You need a reliable optimizing compiler that not only makes code run fast, but does not change the execution results of users' programs. You need memory management and garbage collection systems that limit pauses, keep memory usage within reasonable levels, and don't become performance problems for systems under load. You need safe and reliable native interfaces that protect the integrity of VM internals. If you can achieve those items, you may want real concurrent threading that doesn't cause the runtime to crash in unrecoverable ways. You may want tunable settings, like those added to REE to adjust garbage collection parameters. You will almost certainly want debugging and profiling interfaces that don't drastically impact performance. You may want management interfaces that allow you to monitor and configure the system at runtime. You may want security guarantees, so users can safely sandbox code and be certain it will remain within operating parameters. And ideally, you want experts working on all these subsystems. That's exactly what you get with the JVM. And it goes even farther than that. There's not just one JVM, there's at least three in widespread use: Sun's Hotspot, the VM behind OpenJDK; Oracle's JRockit; and IBM's J9. Each one has whole teams of developers working on those subsystems. And each company has competed for years to make their JVM better than the others. There are JVMs for every platform in use; we've gotten bug reports from users on exotic systems like Z/OS and OpenVMS. There are VMs that run on the smallest embedded devices and on the largest many-core systems you can imagine (see Azul's JVM and hardware, running on hundreds of cores with hundreds of GB of memory). There have been JVMs on mobile phones for almost a decade. Every Blu-Ray player runs a JVM. There are JVMs literally everywhere. It's impossible to measure how much effort we've saved by building atop the JVM ... but it's a tremendous amount.
The Clinton campaign was culturally disadvantaged at Daily Kos. Despite hiring Peter Daou, a well-respected blogger at Salon and the former director of blogging operations for the John Kerry campaign, as her Internet director, Hillary lacked the blog cred of Barack Obama, John Edwards, and others. She earned a reputation for snippy elitism when, alone among the contenders, she skipped the first Yearly Kos convention, in 2006; she attended the second, only to be booed for her refusal to spurn lobbyist money. The impression, fair or not, was that her campaign’s interest in the online sphere was solely as a fund-raising reservoir: lower vacuum attachment into databases, flick on power switch, and hose up contributions. In fact, Clinton’s campaign was deft at online promotion, as evidenced by the Sopranos-inspired diner video featuring a scowling Johnny Sack (actor Vince Curatola), but even at its most adroit, her Web presence paled next to the beauty of the lilies of Obama Rising. (“It’s my sense from everything I’ve checked, from the ads to the Web sites to the videos, that the Obama campaign is much Net savvier than the Clinton campaign,” Michael Cornfield, a professor and specialist in the impact of new media on politics, told Michael Luo of The New York Times.) At Daily Kos, Clinton’s supporters felt not only outnumbered but patronized as objects of sexist condescension, pummeled like tackling dummies. One regular diarist, who went by the handle of Goldberry, exited the Daily Kos and set up her own blog, the Confluence, rolling out a welcome mat for fellow “Kossacks in Exile.” Toward Markos himself, she bore no ill will: “I totally respect Markos. He’s created a beautiful thing.” But the beautiful thing he created has been overrun by ruffians, leaving refugees like herself to hole up in the hills “until the ravagers run out of fuel to burn.” In an open letter to the liberal blogosphere, a fed-up Daily Kos regular named Alegre urged a writers’ strike. *I’ve been posting at DailyKos for nearly four years now and started writing diaries in support of Hillary Clinton back in June of last year. Over the past few months I’ve noticed that things have become progressively more abusive toward my candidate and her supporters. I’ve put up with the abuse and anger because I’ve always believed in what our online community has tried to accomplish in this world. No more.
Mark, of course, could not bear to acknowledge that he had been inspired by anyone else, let alone that he directly copied other people's work. On October 26, 2005, when asked to describe how The Facebook came to be by Jim Breyer, the Accel Partners venture capitalist who handed him $12.7 million, he stated in public at Stanford University while being videotaped, "So, um, I did two years at Harvard. During my sophomore year, I decided that Harvard needed a Facebook. It didn't have one. So I made it. That's basically how it got started." To say that his answer was smug and disingenous would be a gross understatement. By that point, Mark and I had talked over AOL Instant Messenger only two months prior. It was our last recorded conversation. To be clear, this is how Mark handled his friendship not with opportunistic athletes he despised, but with one of the two other technical people on the planet he thought of as being on the same level as himself as of June, 2004. As he bluntly put it, "[T]here are only like six people in the world who have decent ideas... Seriously. [T]here's only six. I'm telling you... [I] still need to meet the other three though... I'd like to think [I]'m okay. You're good. [T]here's this kid out in caltech who's sick and that's like it for people in college right now." In my opinion, this glaring inconsistency is a hallmark of true pathology. How can I be so sure? That kid at CalTech was Adam D'Angelo, and we saw almost exactly the same thing happen to him four years later. Adam can correct me if I'm wrong (though he may now be contractually prohibited from doing so), but his departure from Facebook was reminiscent of the situation with houseSYSTEM. Adam and Mark were close friends, by then even working toward a common goal for the same company—their own—which had earned them both plenty of money. Adam wanted to work on a feature set involving questions, and Mark apparently wanted to do it a different way. They decided to part ways, giving rise to Quora, at which point Mark decided not to do the obvious thing and focus on Facebook's social networking features and out-of-control platform, but to actually compete with Quora! Fortunately for Adam, Facebook Questions was a dud.
We are relying on microbial interaction and our feedings consist of typically water only in the first place. In fact, rich, organic soil will filter your water - run-off will literally be cleaner than the water added. I've flushed enormous amounts of water through organic soil, and indeed, I washed away soil life and plants showed stress. But stress was exactly it. I was now eliminated the plants known form of absorption. Yes this resulted in yellowing leaves, and the results indeed mimic senescence but what was I really accomplishing. I was forcing the plant to look to itself for food before her time, and really starving her to maturity rather than allowing her to naturally mature under normal conditions. The eventual results hypothetically should be the same. I starve the plant through excessive watering, or the plant starves itself through Senescence. With that theory in mind under strict organic conditions, in my opinion it is always wise to let the plant follow it's natural cycle when ever possible. Indoors, in controlled environments, when we switch our light cycle to 12/12 senescence essentially is triggered to begin. We do have some control however, seeding for example, is usually avoided. A plant will prolong growth when pollination does not occur. We can add growth hormones, things like sea weed and algae based additives which contain numerous growth hormones such as cytotoxins and gibberellins. Both contribute to extended growth and delayed Senescence. Many tricks of the trade can lead to larger yields and at times and extended harvest times. It is a soil food web that feeds our plants, a symbiotic environment that naturally harmonizes. Destroying the harmony, disrupting the balance can indeed induce stress and typical deficiencies, but regardless of what we add or take away, under organic conditions, the plant and it's relationship with microbial life dictate when maturity has arrived and when she is ready for harvest - not a flood of water. It should be noted that there can be exceptions to the above, such as smaller pots for example.
The worship of the Gods had been kept up in temples, with altars, and images, and sacrifices, and hymns, and prostrations, and such like; but it is by no means fitting, says he,for us to confound these things, either by lifting up men to the honours of the Gods, or depressing the Gods to the honours of men. For neither would Alexander suffer any man to usurp his royal dignity by the votes of men; how much more justly may the Gods disdain for any man to take their honours to himself. And it appears by Plutarch,*** that the Greeks thought it a mean and base thing for any of them, when sent on an embassy to the kings of Persia, to prostrate themselves before them, because this was only allowed among them in divine adoration. Therefore, says he, when Pelopidas and Ismenias were sent to Artaxerxes, Pelopidas did nothing unworthy, but Ismenias let fall his ring to the ground, and stooping for that was thought to make his adoration; which was altogether as good a shift as the Jesuits advising the crucifix to be held in the Mandarins' hands while they made their adorations in the Heathen temples in China. * Answer to Catholics no Idolaters Lond. 1676. p. 211. Arrian. de Exped. Alex. 1. 4. et Curt. lib. 8. * Vit. Artaxerx. AElian. Var. hist. lib. 1. c. 21. "Conon* also refused to make his adoration, as a disgrace to his city; and Isocrates ** accuses the Persians for doing it, because herein they shewed, that they despised the Gods rather than men, by prostituting their honours to their princes. * Justin, lib. 6. ** Panegyr. Herodotus* mentions Sperchius and Bulis, who could not with the greatest violence be brought to give adoration to Xerxes, because it was against the law of their country to give divine honour to men* And Valerius Maximus** says, the Athenians put Timagoras to death for doing it; so strong an apprehension had possessed them, that the manner of worship which they used to their Gods, should be preserved sacred and inviolable." The philosopher Sallust also in his treatise On the Gods and the World says, "It is not unreasonable to suppose that impiety is a species of punishment, and that those who have had a knowledge of the Gods, and yet despised them, will in another life be deprived of this knowledge.
Later Heinlein — and significantly, Virginia — rounded up what they thought were all copies ofand burned them. They also burned almost all other letters and documentation of his early life and thoughts.But after his death a surviving copy of the manuscript, annotated in Heinlein's handwriting, was tracked down in a storage carton in a student-of-a-friend's garage. It was published in 2003 as a mass-market paperback. There, plain to see, are poly and anti-jealousy ideals that would later become key toNear the end, for instance, is a scene — treated not at all salaciously — of the protagonist waking up comfortably in bed with two brainy, informative women. These themes reflected formative experiences that Heinlein had in the 1930s with the approval of both his first and second wives.And on that cliffhanger, I'll call a halt. I ordered the new biography today and haven't seen it yet! The above is from earlier sources. I hope I'll have more to tell after I read it.Okay, I've now finished the book. Short version: it's a massive, masterful piece of scholarship, finally filling in huge amounts of the first half of Heinlein's life and revealing many early influences that would later show up in his books and fictional characters. Highly recommended, and I can't wait for Volume 2.There are no great new revelations regarding the genesis of, beyond what's already been out there for those who go looking for it. It was, however, news to me that Heinlein happily spent the summer of 1930 in the free-love and genderqueer bohemia of Greenwich Village (an environment he never returned to), or that he and his lifelong Navy friend Cal Laning took women "double dating in bed" in the 1930s. Or that Heinlein met and married Leslyn when Laning, her boyfriend who was thinking of proposing to her, basically herded Heinlein into befriending and bedding her to get his opinion on how she might be as a life mate.

"TB is the single largest cause of death of any infectious disease in the region, and remains responsible for incalculable suffering, premature mortality, impoverishment and foregone development," she said.She said though countries have been making efforts to end TB and the number of TB deaths and its incidence rate continues to fall, at the current trend the region would not be able to achieve the SDG targets. "A newer and bolder approach is needed to bend the curve faster and sharper to achieve the global targets. This means intensifying measures to ensure early diagnosis and treatment, such as active case-finding and enhancing access to cutting-edge diagnostic tools. "Adopting newer approaches of case diagnosis, community based treatment and treatment of latent infection. It means integrating TB programmes with existing health systems, thereby amplifying the effect these interventions have," she said.Singh also said that funds must be allocated accordingly, while political commitment must be fortified and both must occur at national and international levels.
The bureau chief decided against running the story until more details and further confirmation had been obtained. There were other leaks. [14]
any photos taken during the early meetings of HL7 or ASTM 2. Context When it comes to the early development of 'Level 7' standards it is of importance to understand the context in terms of software, hardware, and standards being used. When it comes to the early development of 'Level 7' standards it is of importance to understand the context in terms of software, hardware, and standards being used. Mainframe based medical information systems were initially used in the early 1960s [Ham87]. In the 1970s as clinical support subsystems (minicomputers) evolved for the clinical laboratory, radiology, pharmacy, and for other clinical services, most developed their own separate databases. These created problems for hospitals which used mainframe technology for their financial and registration systems and to a small extent for order entry, results reporting and some other clinical functions. The dominant hospital vendors at that time were SMS and McAuto - all mainframe-based vendors. The clinical support subsystems served the narrower clinical needs of those departments better than the mainframe systems, but they created massive headaches regarding integration. The solution at that time was to connect a terminal from the nursing unit to each of the systems so that a user could use all of the systems by going from terminal device to terminal device. This led to the development of what was called a "front-end" network, which did not involve a OSI Level 7 protocol, but which did allow a single terminal device on a nursing unit to be connected to a network which would allow that device to "log-on" to every computer system attached to the network. These projects used a technology pioneered by the Mitre Corporation called broadband, which at the time referred to coaxial cable similar to that used for cable television, by which multiple communication channels were carried across a single cable. [Netw00, Sim13]. This solved the multiple terminal problem but did nothing for data integration. Such "front end" networks were introduced into some early hospital experiments by Larry Weed at the University of Vermont Hospital in 1976, Octo Barnett in Boston with Bolt Beranek and Newman technology (BBN, creators of much of the technology of the ARPANET, which consisted of just 57 nodes in 1975), and at Walter Reed Army Hospital in 1977.
Also, the Tesla is unaffected by altitude and heat like an internal combustion car is and ran the same fast number everytime. It runs in the 11s! That's a fast street car! And, the Hellcat is a car that you can comfortably drive 350 miles across country, swap out tires, go run in the 10s, swap back the tires and drive it home getting over 25 mpg. One friend who went with us is one of the top professional high performance engine builders in the state and has built mostly Fords and Chevys in the past. He looked at that 10.95 time slip, shook his head and said, "It's a great time to be a Mopar fan! Most people don't know how hard it is to get a car into the 10s and, once you do, they are finicky and hard to cool. They are barely street drivable if at all. The Hellcat changes everything. "It was a really fun weekend!
Until now. Hedge-fund billionaire Ken Griffin said in a rare interview with Melissa Harris of the Chicago Tribune that the very wealthy actually have too little influence in politics. When asked about the influence of people “of his means” he said: “I think they actually have an insufficient influence,” he told the Tribune. “Those who have enjoyed the benefits of our system more than ever now owe a duty to protect the system that has created the greatest nation on this planet.” Although he’s given millions of dollars to conservative causes and Super PACS, he said the money is aimed at helping the country, not himself. He says government has become too involved in financial markets and business. “I think if you look at the realm we’re discussing, which is the political realm, I think it would be impossible to find an action by any politician intended to specifically favor either my firm or myself. That’s not the driver of my involvement.” He said that the values of economic freedom are under attack in America and that “this belief that a larger government is what creates prosperity, that a larger government is what creates good (is wrong). We’ve seen that experiment. The Soviet Union collapsed.” Griffin was also asked about the difference between gambling and financial markets and said that there is a “huge difference.” “Gambling is entertainment…Financial markets, what one often refers to as speculation, is really the force by which we move capital to the best and highest use,” he said. He doesn’t talk about taxes for the wealthy being at historically low rates. But he does say that the inequality debate has been harmful and that “some people go through an experience like ’08 and say, you know, ‘The world’s not fair. ‘ ‘” “This is the first time class warfare has really been embraced as a political tool. Because we are looking at an administration that has embraced class warfare as being politically expedient, I do worry about the publicity that comes with being willing to both with my dollars and, more importantly, with my voice to stand for what I believe in.” Do you agree that the wealthy have too little influence in America?
And both getting them and using them are literally the destruction of the planet. Bringing a cloth shopping bag to the store, even if you walk there in your global warming flip flops, will not stop the tar sands.
Personal experience We have demonstrated patient satisfaction in utilizing cosmetic coverup (CoverFX Skin Care Inc, Ontario, Canada) products prior to beginning medical therapy in patients with visible facial skin lesions causing unwanted emotional stress ( ). Most patients request immediate results while awaiting the improvements from medical therapy. Cosmetic camouflage is extremely easy to use and learn (application process, ingredients, and choices for each skin types) and provides an additional therapeutic/cosmetic in our armamentarium of dermatological therapies. Most practitioners do not consider educating patients regarding these products, likely because they are not trained in their application, benefits, and ingredients. This underscores the importance of early education (in residency) regarding the cosmetic concerns of medical patients as well as the available over-the-counter products that many patients enquire about. Patients may switch physicians, especially if they feel that their physician does not address cosmetic concerns or have knowledge regarding the availability of products that may be of benefit in addition to the prescribed medical therapies. Almost every patient is willing to use makeup and follow a simple regimen at home with the right discussion. Patients with vitiligo, erythematotelangiectatic rosacea, or hemangiomas may require more coverage while those with melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation may require increased time in skin matching to balance colors. Patients with acne may require coverups that will not irritate or worsen disease and can be integrated with prescribed medical therapies. Open in a separate window Our patients were severe cases and described dramatic improvement after introduction of camouflage makeup. Although no systematic assessment of their QoL was performed, we conclude that additional research is needed to compare the available therapies with regard to ingredients, patient satisfaction, ease of use, and effects on concomitant medical treatments. Further, commitment of time and money may be a barrier to prolonged satisfaction. Future research should focus on the biological (eg, physical interaction between medical therapy and cosmetic coverup) and psychological effects (eg, whether patients are discouraged from treatments that are more time-consuming but bring lasting effects). Some modern products claim to have additional benefits, such as being sun-protective, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory due to cosmeceutical (typically botanical) additives. Future studies may also seek to validate the claims of these products in a controlled fashion.

It’s clear that Mozilla isn’t happy about this turn of events, and in our conversations, people there characterised it as something they’d been driven to by the entertainment companies and the complicity of the commercial browser vendors, who have enthusiastically sold out their users’ integrity and security. Mitchell Baker, the executive chairwoman of the Mozilla Foundation and Mozilla Corporation, told me that “this is not a happy day for the web” and “it’s not in line with the values that we’re trying to build. This does not match our value set.” But both she and Gal were adamant that they felt that they had no choice but to add DRM if they were going to continue Mozilla’s overall mission of keeping the web free and open. I am sceptical about this claim. I don’t doubt that it’s sincerely made, but I found the case for it weak. When I pressed Gal for evidence that without Netflix Firefox users would switch away, he cited the huge volume of internet traffic generated by Netflix streams. There’s no question that Netflix video and other video streams account for an appreciable slice of the internet’s overall traffic. But video streams are also the bulkiest files to transfer. That video streams use a lot of bytes isn’t a surprise. When a charitable nonprofit like Mozilla makes a shift as substantial as this one – installing closed-source software designed to treat computer users as untrusted adversaries – you’d expect there to be a data-driven research story behind it, meticulously documenting the proposition that without DRM irrelevance is inevitable. The large number of bytes being shifted by Netflix is a poor proxy for that detailed picture. There are other ways in which Mozilla’s DRM is better for user freedom than its commercial competitors’. While the commercial browsers’ DRM assigns unique identifiers to users that can be used to spy on viewing habits across multiple video providers and sessions, the Mozilla DRM uses different identifiers for different services.
He got his start writing Deep Space Nine, followed by Voyager, where he worked his way from freelance writer to staff writer to co-producer. Fuller went on to create the critically acclaimed series Dead Like Me and Wonderfalls. Also, he served as writer and co-executive producer on the first season of Heroes, before leaving to create the Emmy Award-winning Pushing Daisies. Fuller is currently executive producing along with partner Michael Green an adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s novel American Gods for the STARZ network.Star Trek will be produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Kurtzman’s Secret Hideout. Kurtzman and Fuller will be joined by Heather Kadin as executive producers.
Well, his roommate--I don't remember his name--ended up winning a Fields Medal. [Maybe John Milnor?--Econlib Ed.] He was one of the top mathematicians of his generation. So the fact that Gary wasn't better than his roommate was really not that informative. Or maybe it was. Maybe he would only have enjoyed being a mathematician if he had been at the very top. He had a cerebral ability--when I think about his work, and we'll talk about it now, we'll turn to that, when I see something in it that is, say, wrong, or leads to an implication that I think is silly or foolish, I always think, and now he's gone, but if you told him anything like that, ever, in my experience--and I saw many people much smarter than I am dismiss his work with criticisms like the ones I'm thinking of, some implication that seemed inconsistent with the data or whatever it was, he would always have anticipated that problem and challenge, and he always had an answer. His brain was very, very large. And I think that probably sustained him when he saw people that he thought maybe weren't as smart as he was, saying his work was worthless and not getting their respect. Guest: Absolutely. And I think, the point that you made earlier when you were talking about Princeton and competing with his roommate that eventually earned the Fields Medal, you know, I think that Gary actually did make the right choice. Because, while he might have been a decent mathematician, that was not his strength. Russ: Absolutely. Guest: And if you think back on his work, it's not that he had such great formal skills. This is not a guy who was a terrific, either formal mathematician, or even modeler in the sense of kind of standard or now, what is standard, economics--game theory and other kinds of formal economic approaches. Gary was not that great at that. What Gary was unbelievable at was creativity. Gary is probably the most creative mind I have ever known in my life. And I've known some great minds, including people like Milton Friedman and George Stigler and Kenneth Arrow, all of whom are fabulously creative and fabulously important innovative thinkers.
In order to be preserved, the new information has to appear near to the core of the spiral wave. However, this would make the system vulnerable to parasites, and, as a consequence, the hypercycle would not be stable. Therefore, stable spiral waves are characterized by once-for-ever selection, which creates the restrictions that, on the one hand, once the information is added to the system, it cannot be easily abandoned; and on the other hand, new information cannot be added. Another model based on cellular automata, taking into account a simpler replicating network of continuously mutating parasites and their interactions with one replicase species, was proposed by Takeuchi and Hogeweg [7] and exhibited an emergent travelling wave pattern. Surprisingly, travelling waves not only proved to be stable against moderately strong parasites, if the parasites’ mutation rate is not too high, but the emergent pattern itself was generated as a result of interactions between parasites and replicase species. The same technique was used to model systems that include formation of complexes [50]. Finally, hypercycle simulation extending to three dimensions showed the emergence of the three-dimensional analogue of a spiral wave, namely, the scroll wave [51]. The version history of the text file and the peer reviews (and response to reviews) are available as supporting information in S1 and S2 Texts.
While it is well-known that the so-called IRS scandal has been used by Tea Partiers to bash the IRS, less well known are the actual facts of the case. Some of the flagged groups did have their tax-exempt status delayed or did face some additional scrutiny, but not a single group has been denied tax-exempt status. A May 14 draft report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration found that none of the 296 questionable applicants had been denied, “For the 296 potential political cases we reviewed, as of December 17, 2012, 108 applications had been approved, 28 were withdrawn by the applicant, none had been denied, and 160 cases were open from 206 to 1,138 calendar days (some crossing two election cycles).” (p. 14) In fact, the only known 501(c)(4) applicant to recently have its status denied happens to be a progressive group: the Maine chapter of Emerge America, which trains Democratic women to run for office. Although the group did no electoral work, and didn’t participate in independent expenditure campaign activity either, its partisan nature disqualified it from being categorized as working for the “common good.” The Inspector General’s report found that in the “majority of cases, we agreed that the applications submitted included indications of significant political campaign intervention.” (p. 10). In fact, only 91 of the 296, roughly 31%, of the applications reviewed for the report did not have “indications of significant political campaign intervention.” In other words, more than two thirds of those flagged for processing by a team of specialists had those indications. That sort of political campaign intervention would normally disqualify a group from 501(c)(4) status, but the deluge of Tea Party applications combined with the politicization of the process has allowed them to slip through. A closer look by IREHR at the activities of some of the Tea Party groups that are currently under review or have received non-profit status from the IRS, reveals a difficult and dangerous situation.
All five of those heroes are the only popular DPS heroes at the moment, with a shift in the meta clearly happening. For tanks, Winston maintains his position as the most played of all heroes in Grandmaster tier at 73%. Filling the second tank slot is D.Va (-10%) and up-and-comer Zarya (+10%). Support play in Grandmaster remains mostly unchanged, as Lucio remains popular (56% usage), followed by Zenyatta, Mercy, and Ana.At Diamond tier, Doomfist debuts at 26% usage with McCree (+4%) being the biggest gainer for DPS heroes this report. McCree's rise in play makes him is as the #2 most popular DPS hero in Diamond right now, as he is a strong counter to the many Doomfist's running around. Soldier (-5%) and Genji (-3%) see dips in play and round out the other popular DPS heroes currently. Note that Tracer (-6%) and Reaper (-5%) have also fallen greatly in play at Diamond with Doomfist's release. Tank heroes show similar trends to the higher tiers, with D.Va (-9%) and Winston (-9%) falling in play while Reinhardt (+4%) and Zarya (+5%) rise. All four of those tank heroes are quite viable in the current meta, and it will definitely be worth keeping a close eye on whether the shift to Zarya continues to dislodge Winston and D.Va. For supports, Mercy remains the most played hero by far, with the 2nd healer slot typically going to Lucio, Ana, or Zenyatta. One interesting support change this week: Ana's usage has gone up +3% this report, while Zenyatta's usage has gone down -4%. This may be yet another sign that dive is no longer the (completely) dominant team composition.In Gold tier, Doomfist debuts with 25% usage, and groups with Soldier, Pharah, Reaper as part of the four most popular DPS heroes. As expected, Doomfist's introduction has led to the decline in play of several offensive heroes, including Genji (-4%), Soldier (-3%), Reaper (-3%), and Pharah (-2%). Nevertheless, Soldier remains the most popular DPS hero. For Tanks, D.Va (-6%) remains the most popular, despite seeing a significant dip in play. Reinhardt is up +3% in usage from his recent bug fixes, and Winston is down -7% in play. These Tank usage changes have push Reinhardt much more into the forefront, and he continue to increase in popularity in the future.
More importantly, the LRT, operating on a dedicated right of way will serve “more people, faster, cheaper,” Soknacki argued. The LRT, with more stops than the subway, will also serve the local Scarborough community better, he said: It will be more than a simple commuter line. “Transit is complex. It’s not just vacuuming people into the core and then spitting them back out,” he said. “What do you do with the people of Malvern? Not all of them work as financial planners downtown. Some of them want to go across the northern part of the city. The subway won’t do that for them; it’ll shoot them downtown.” As for cost, Soknacki says the LRT was estimated at $1.8 billion in 2010, while the subway was pegged at $2.3 billion in 2013. But he notes some estimates now put the subway cost at over $3 billion. The handful of curious citizens who came to hear his pitch included Julia Tharratt, a graduate student in public policy at University of Toronto. She came “to learn a little more about the issue of subways versus LRT.” “I’m not from Scarborough, but being a Torontonian this is important to us,” Tharratt said. “I know David has a different position on the LRT compared to some of the other candidates, so I wanted to hear his perspective.” Leslie Chin, an engineer from the Scarborough neighbourhood of West Hill, also came to get more information. “I like this idea. I like the Tory idea,” he said, referring to candidate John Tory’s proposal to using existing rail lines to carry more transit riders and ease subway crowding. Chin’s worry is that the ideas he’s heard so far tend to create a series of major transit hubs, but don’t explain in detail how people get from the hubs to their homes. Robert Ong, a 16-year-old student at Northview Heights Secondary in the Finch-Bathurst area, is too young to vote. But he’s keen to hear the candidates’ ideas on planning and transportation. “Besides Soknacki, I like two other candidates as well: Olivia Chow and John Tory,” he said. Soknacki’s LRT plan “makes much more sense financially, and it serves more people than the subway,” he said.
His Stalker force sat there and died while in his base he reacted swiftly by constructing double Stargates. Like so many other things that never change in bronze, everybody still loves their Void Rays. After the two Stargates completed, he evidently decided that a third one would be more aesthetically pleasing. His base now adequately stylish, he began building Void Rays as fast as he could remember. Not as fast as he could, of course, because he didn't know how to Chrono Boost.After a while, he moved out with his small Void Ray force, but a group of turrets with both the Gretorp upgrades and a cadre of veteran SCVs to auto-repair them proved too much. They died after killing a turret or two. At some point before my siege started, he had snuck a probe out and made an expansion. Over the course of 20 minutes I repeatedly attempted to construct a base in his base before finally succeeding. Confused, distraught, out of money, and with the red dots spreading like a pox across the map, my opponent ceded defeat.Well, that seemed to work. I was expecting a Colossus to eventually put the kibosh on my little scheme. Maybe he didn't know about them. Was there a "PF Rush: Part 1" blog in my future? Perhaps. I queued again and was fortunate enough to receive another Protoss, this time on Shattered Temple. I decided to attempt to build a Command Center directly in his base, but my SCV was greeted less than warmly.Undeterred and curious, I decided on a two-pronged assault. I would construct one CC below his ramp while simultaneously flying one in from my base, as we were in close air spawns. This approach was more than successful; the slow-moving buildings proved too much for my enemy to keep up with, and both CCs landed in his base and transformed into PFs. He attempted to make some cannons, but with the efforts of a few repairing SCVs they were unable to save his base. He, too, left silently.Was this actually working? Was this abusive? Should a bronze player be expected to have enough units to stop a PF in their base? I decided they likely would not. And I certainly didn't expect them to know how to put a probe under it to prevent it from landing. So I chose against planting the PF directly in their base for now.

And because their teacher told them he is helping build this school.Yvenson will say later, "I feel so much of my mom's energy there." His younger brother will say it's obvious why. Their mother grabbed an opportunity that took her to America, and that, in turn, brought Yvenson and Gio to life. The school is all about opportunity. "You never know what these kids can become," Giovani says. "If you can set them off on a good path, they can do really great things for this country."

The last doctor in Naturita died fifteen years ago. There’s a small health clinic, and recently it contracted with a doctor in another part of Colorado to visit two days a week. But the mainstay is Ken Jenks, a physician’s assistant who is on call twenty-four hours a day. Jenks has lived in rural Colorado for a decade, and during that time he has learned that electrical tape is harder to remove from a wound than duct tape. Twice he has had patients suffer cervical fractures and drive themselves into the clinic rather than wait for an ambulance. It’s not unusual for somebody to sign out of the clinic A.M.A.—against medical advice. A couple of times, Jenks has told heart-attack victims that they needed to be evacuated by helicopter, only to have the patients decline because they believed they could get there cheaper. Jenks signed the forms, unhooked the I.V.s, and the patients got into their pickups to drive the two hours to a hospital. “And they made it,” Jenks says. “So they were right!” Jenks grew up in Salt Lake City, but he has spent most of his working life in small towns. “Maybe I can describe it this way,” he says. “I like to play chess. I moved to a small town, and nobody played chess there, but one guy challenged me to checkers. I always thought it was kind of a simple game, but I accepted. And he beat me nine or ten games in a row. That’s sort of like living in a small town. It’s a simpler game, but it’s played to a higher level.” Jenks says that he is forced to have “a working relationship” with local methamphetamine users, treating their ailments in confidence. He explains that small towns might have a reputation for being closed-minded, but actually residents often learn to be nonjudgmental, because contact is so intense. “Someday I might be on the side of the road, and the person who pulls me out is going to be a meth user,” Jenks says. “The circle is much tighter.” He believes there is less gossip than one would assume, simply because so much is already known. One morning, a young woman arrives at the Apothecary Shoppe after spending the weekend in jail. She had an argument with her husband, who called the police; Colorado law requires officers to make an arrest whenever they respond to a domestic dispute.

Following his predecessors, al-Ma'mum would send expeditions of scholars from the House of Wisdom to collect texts from foreign lands. In fact, one of the directors of the House was sent to Constantinople with this purpose. During this time, Sahl ibn Harun, a Persian poet and astrologer, was the chief librarian of the Bayt al-Hikma. Hunayn ibn Ishaq (809–873) an Arab Nestorian Christian physician and scientist, was the most productive translator producing 116 works for the Arabs. The patron of this foundation was under Caliphe al-Ma'mum. Al-Ma'mum established the House of Wisdom, putting Hunayn ibn Ishaq in charge, who then became the most celebrated translator of Greek texts. As "Sheikh of the translators" he was placed in charge of the translation work by the caliph. Hunayn ibn Ishaq translated the entire collection of Greek medical books, including famous pieces by Galen and Hippocrates. [18] The Sabian Thābit ibn Qurra (826–901) also translated great works by Apollonius, Archimedes, Euclid and Ptolemy. Translations of this era were superior to earlier ones, since the new Abbasid scientific tradition required better and better translations, and the emphasis was many times put in incorporating new ideas to the ancient works being translated. [10] [19] By the second half of the ninth century al-Ma'mun's Bayt al-Hikma was the greatest repository of books in the world and had become one of the greatest hubs of intellectual activity in the Middle Ages, attracting the most brilliant Arab and Persian minds. [13] The House of Wisdom eventually acquired a reputation as a center of learning, although universities as we know them did not yet exist at this time — knowledge was transmitted directly from teacher to student, without any institutional surrounding. Maktabs soon began to develop in the city from the 9th century on, and in the 11th century, Nizam al-Mulk founded the Al-Nizamiyya of Baghdad, one of the first institutions of higher education in Iraq.
A small force of about 16 marines and three medivacs advance to control the watch tower closest to Polt's bases. Mutalisks are revealed and snipe the viking. A lone marine is sent from the group at the tower towards the normal fifth base location on Jaedong's side of the map and the rest of the force swings remains on a ramp near the watch tower in a defensive formation. Polt starts his final three barracks at this point. Once Polt has gathered seven mines and a large bio/medivac force, he pushes towards a location that provides access to Jaedong's fourth. Holding this position also denies an entire half of the map's counter attack paths. He baits a small engagement right off of creep and then uses a scan to clear a large area of tumors. He positions his force on the high ground leading to the Jaedong's fourth forcing to deal with Polt's army. Jaedong executes a 14 zergling run by into Polt's third base while sending in a force of 17 banelings, eight mutalisks, and ten zerglings to take care of the bio mine force camping near his fourth. Every baneling and zergling dies. The last three barracks of Polt finish up, going straight into marine production and without any add ons. A followup wave is able to clean Polt's remaining force on the high ground. Polt rallies in forces to punish the pursuing Zerg player and establish a safe rally point on the low ground with an attack path leading straight to the fourth base nearby. Polt begins +1 armor for mech and and a fourth command center. Polt postures near the fourth base a bit but does not commit onto creep. [16:15 to 19:45] +2/+2 finishes and +3 attack begins. Another zergling run by does damage to Polt's economy at the third base. Small groups of eight marines stim forward onto creep to poke at the fourth base of Jaedong. They run and micro back at the first sign of Zerg units. The rest of Polt's force is pre spread with burrowed mines a small distance from the edge of creep allowing Polt a certain amount of insurance against over-extending. The aggressive poking onto the creep is fairly constant at this point and provokes a counter push towards Polt's forward rally.
The laws of logic are purely formal; they forbid nothing but what concerns the use of terms and the corresponding modes of classification and analysis. The law of contradiction tells us that nothing can be both white and not-white, but it does not and can not tell us whether black is not-white, or soft or square is not-white. To discover what contradicts what we must always consult the character of experience. Similarly the law of the excluded middle formulates our decision that whatever is not designated by a certain term shall be designated by its negative. It declares our purpose to make, for every term, a complete dichotomy of experience, instead as we might choose of classifying on the basis of a tripartite division into opposites (as black and white) and the middle ground between the two. Our rejection of such tripartite division represents only our penchant for simplicity. Further laws of logic are of similar significance. They are principles of procedure, the parliamentary rules of intelligent thought and speech. Such laws are independent of experience because they impose no limitations whatever upon it. They are legislative because they are addressed to ourselves because definition, classification, and inference represent no operations of the objective world, but only our own categorical attitudes of mind. Further laws of logic are of similar significance. They are principles of procedure, the parliamentary rules of intelligent thought and speech. Such laws are independent of experience because they impose no limitations whatever upon it. They are legislative because they are addressed to ourselves because definition, classification, and inference represent no operations of the objective world, but only our own categorical attitudes of mind. And further, the ultimate criteria of the laws of logic are pragmatic. Those who suppose that there is, for example, a logic which everyone would agree to if he understood it and understood himself, are more optimistic than those versed in the history of logical discussion have a right to be. The fact is that there are several logics, markedly different, each self-consistent in its own terms and such that whoever, using it, avoids false premises, will never reach a false conclusion.
The scheme allows small businesses, including eateries, to pay 1-5 percent tax without having to deal with the three- stage filing process.The scheme cannot be opted by supplier of services other than restaurant related services; manufacturer of ice cream, pan masala, or tobacco; casual taxable person or a non- resident taxable person; and businesses which supply goods through an e-commerce operator.No input tax credit can be claimed by those opting for composition scheme. Also, the taxpayer can only make intra-state supply (sell in the same state) and cannot undertake inter-state supply of goods.Businesses with annual turnover of up to Rs 1.5 crore, which constitute 90 per cent of the taxpayer base but pay only 5-6 per cent of total tax, have been allowed to file quarterly income returns and pay tax instead of the current provision of monthly filings.Jaitley said big taxpayers, who contribute 94-95 per cent of the total taxes, will continue to file monthly returns and pay taxes on a monthly basis.Also, a group of ministers has been asked to go into the issue of extending the composition scheme on inter-state sales as well as rationalising taxes on restaurants.The switchover to quarterly tax filing for small and medium businesses would happen from October 1 and they will have to file monthly returns for the first three months of GST, which was implemented from July 1, he said.Meanwhile, Jaitley said the Council also decided to cut GST rate on 27 common use items. GST on unbranded namkeen, unbranded ayurvedic medicine, sliced dried mango and khakra has been cut to 5 per cent from 12 per cent, while the same on man-made yarn used in textile sector has been reduced to 12 per cent from 18 per cent.Tax on stationery items, stones used for flooring (other than marble and granite), diesel engine parts and pump parts has been cut to 18 per cent from 28 per cent. GST on e-waste has been slashed to 5 per cent from 28 per cent.Food packets given to school kids under Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) will attract 5 per cent tax instead of 12 per cent.Job works like zari, imitation, food items and printing items would attract 5 per cent tax instead of 12 per cent.
Somewhat remarkably however he then conceded that he had not asked anyone to come along to be a witness for him so as to corroborate his story. In the circumstances the Board was entitled reasonably to be highly suspicious of the fact that he had indeed told anyone as he was unable or unwilling to produce anyone to support him. It seems to me that on the basis of the accounts the Board had of what occurred on 11 November it was reasonably entitled to form the view that the Plaintiff had deliberately breached the Rules and accordingly reject any suggestion by him that he was intending to execute a drop consistent with the Rules, or for that matter had in truth deemed his ball unplayable as alleged.

“I’ve had several instances where I’ve started a business, sold it, made a lot of money, and then basically lost everything I made, whether it was $50 million or $5 million or whatever,” he tells Fast Company. “I always have a tendency to lose everything I made.” At some point, Altucher started thinking about the routines and habits he kept while he was making money starting and running more than 20 companies, investing in over 30 companies, advising another 50 private companies (ranging from $0 in revenue to a billion in revenue), publishing a handful of books, including the upcoming The Rich Employee, and hosting a number of podcasts, including an upcoming one with Freakonomics’ Stephen J. Dubner called Question of the Day. There are some simple rules, like drink coffee first thing in the morning and 20 minutes before you write so that it “sets your brain on fire, makes you go to the bathroom, cleans your body out before you set your heart on fire.” Then, there’s his 30% rule, which basically says that everyone should cut or rewrite at least 30% of their masterpiece after they think they’ve finished it. Next, there are some complicated rules that require some math, like the 4/64 rule and the 30/150/millions rule. But, specifically, there are two rules that have always brought Altucher back to success every time he falls down and loses everything. Below are his two rules to live and work by: The Rule To Live By Altucher has been focused on making slight improvements (about 1% every day) in four specific areas of his life on and off for the past six years. When it’s “off” time, he finds that he fails quickly. So, for the past six years, he’s been steadfast in working on improvements in his physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. “These four things contributed so much to my success and then when I stop doing them, I would lose everything and then have to start from scratch,” he says.

ï¿½Our aim is to ensure that the adopted levels are both safe for consumers and consistent with those widely used by the global food supplement industry,ï¿½ said David Pineda, IADSAï¿½s Director of Regulatory Affairs. Excuse me Mr. Pinhead, food coloring comes from coal tar and is a poison. It has no business being in dietary supplements in any amount. The only people who put it in dietary supplements are big drug companies that make vitamins (Bayer - One-A-Day and Wyeth ï¿½ Centrum). I wouldnï¿½t put food-color containing vitamins in my body even if they were the last supplements left on earth - which is the goal of Codex. It is obvious that IADSA and Codex are nothing but European drug company efforts to control the sales of nutrients in America and around the world, ensuring that garbage synthetic vitamins are sold as natural and junk chemicals are allowed in products.
Mines and other unexploded remnants are a particular danger. Between August and November 2015, most civilian casualties were caused by explosive remnants of war and improvised explosive devices which killed 17 civilians, including two children—a girl and a boy—and injured 76, including eight children. Lasting Trauma The conflict has left lasting trauma on many children. Teachers in schools and kindergartens on both sides of the line of contact told Human Rights Watch that children remained deeply traumatized by the fighting. For example, a principal of the kindergarten Number 14 in Horlivka said, “When children hear any loud noise, they just drop on the ground and cover their heads. We can’t stop them.” According to the principal of a school in Shchastya, The war left many scars. We see this year the children are more vulnerable. They are not as responsive. They are slower in responding in class. We try not to overburden them. And we have a school psychologist… So we are trying to do what we can. A school administrator from Chernukhino said, Every time there is another loud explosion from the range, children drop to the floor or run to the shelter. We tried telling them it was just for training, tried telling them ‘no need to be afraid’, but without success. They hear it and run as fast as they can. Having a firing range next to the school is a terrible thing.
This myth, it is apparent, exists in two aspects. Both must be rejected. The first is that the Chinese characters constitute an existing system of ideographic writing. This has been shown to be factually untrue. The second aspect is the validity of the ideographic concept itself. I believe it to be completely untenable because there is no evidence that people have the capacity to master the enormous number of symbols that would be needed in a written system that attempts to convey thought without regard to sound, which means divorced from spoken language. A few, yes, as in any writing system, including English with its numerals and other "visual morphemes." Even quite a few, given the large number of Chinese syllabic signs and graphs without good phonetic clues. But while it is possible for a writing system to have many individual "ideographs" or "ideograms," it is not possible to have a whole writing system based on the ideographic principle. Alphabetic writing requires mastery of several dozen symbols that are needed for phonemic representation. Syllabic writing requires mastery of what may be several hundred or several thousand symbols that are needed for syllabic representation. Ideographic writing, however, requires mastery of the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of symbols that would be needed for ideographic representation of words or concepts without regard to sound. A bit of common sense should suggest that unless we supplement our brains with computer implants, ordinary mortals are incapable of such memory feats. The theory of an ideographic script must remain in the realm of popular mythology until some True Believers demonstrate its reality by accomplishing the task, say, of putting Hamlet or at least Lincoln's Gettysburg Address into English written in symbols without regard to sound.
In 1969, the word appeared in print for the first time, when Weinberg’s friends Jack Nichols and Lige Clarke worked it into their column for hip tabloid Screw (that same year, TIME Magazine used it in a fairly dicey cover story about “The Homosexual in America“). Weinberg convinced a younger colleague, K.T. Smith, to draw up the first scientific study of homophobia for his Masters thesis, which was published in 1971; Smith found homophobic people to be generally “status-conscious, authoritative, and sexually rigid.” In 1972, Weinberg published Society and the Healthy Homosexual, which rounds out his definition of and theories about homophobia and explains why it, rather than the thing it fears, is the real social ill. People both within and outside of the LGBT community grabbed onto the word almost immediately – as psychologist Gregory Herek puts it, the term “crystallized the experiences of rejection, hostility, and invisibility that homosexual men and women . . . had experienced throughout their lives.” The very next year, thanks partially to lobbying from Weinberg, the American Psychological Association removed homosexuality from its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Being gay was, medically speaking, no longer a pathology; being anti-gay, culturally and linguistically speaking, suddenly was. It worked like a dream – proponents of gay rights suddenly had a way to describe their opponents, and these opponents were flummoxed and caught off guard. Former congressman William Dannemeyer, who has written a book attacking the gay rights movement, credited the word, along with “gay,” with “tipping the scales, perhaps irreversibly, in favor of the homosexuals.” By changing the language, Weinberg changed the conversation, and although we still have a long way to go, it seemed for a while like the dialogists’ roles were set.
In July 2012 it was revealed, via a public reading of a portion of Dennis McKenna’s forthcoming memoir The Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss: My Life with Terence McKenna, that Dennis’s brother Terence suffered a horrific experience during a psychedelic mushroom trip in 1988 or 1989 that proved so traumatic it put him off taking psychedelics, except for tiny doses on infrequent occasions, for the rest of his life. This came as a bombshell in the sizable community that pays attention to such things, since Terence was known for advocating “heroic” doses of psychedelics for many years after that in his books and talks, and since Dennis claimed in the book excerpt that many of the things Terence continued to espouse in his later years, including most of his wildest speculations about 2012, Timewave Zero, the alien intelligences of the psychedelic hyperrealm, and the future spontaneous organization of organic intelligence through the global Internet — in other words, the things for which he was most popular — were just show business, just philosophical performance art that paid the bills. The excerpt was read aloud by Bruce Damer to an audience at the Esalen Institute, at an event organized by Damer and Lorenzo Hagerty (host and creator of the Psychedelic Salon podcast) and titled “A Deep Dive into the Mind of Terence McKenna.” It also went out as a Psychedelic Salon episode. But then, rather shockingly, it was pulled from the podcast’s Website, and Lorenzo put up a note explaining that “At the request of Dennis McKenna and the McKenna family this podcast will remain off-line indefinitely. They have also requested that the comments be held back. . . Unfortunately, some of the material from his upcoming book was from an early draft and will not be included in the published edition of the book.”

Away Team Dungeon Master (jptoc) Salamanders (jptoc) Where we left off: After several almost disasterous attempts, Bernard managed to convince Venomfang to leave Thundertree and settle somewhere to the North. The Dragon will come to find the Party in a few weeks, but Balasar remains confident as his new found church stand with him. 2 - The Party head back to the Sleeping Giant in having arrived back in Phandalin. Rook is introduced to the barkeep and she buys herself and Droop an ale. 3 - Balasar explains that the three ex-cultists are following him due to the wisdom of his existence. Barkeep sounds impressed. 4 - Bernard keeps stealing Scott from Balasar. This is going to end in a fight. The Bard approaches two men playing dice in the corner and talks about the happenings around the town. 5 - Apparently there was someone who came into Town asking about a Mine and then scarpered North. The person who runs the local town is trying to gain support to take the town. 10 - Bernard buys the drunk Droop a room for two copper pieces. Bernard clearly likes him. 12 - Bernard buys Scott some Leather Armour. Doesn't buy some for the rest of the Balasarians who follow their all powerful leader to Town Hall. 13 - Rook enters Town Hall, noticing the sign that states that there is trouble with Orcs. The people inside scream for Harbin who comes waddling out from the back and almost shits himself. 14 - Rook's here for a job. Harbin's calling for the guards. Shithouse. No guards around though. 15 - Rook gets everyone else to join her in freaking out Harbin. Xeaon backhands him and the man begins to pull his shit together before starting another outburst. 16 - Rook casts Thaumatalogy on herself, causing her voice to boom "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT THING!?" in response to Harbin's outbursts. 17 - Woman steps up and talks to the Party. There's a reward, but it isn't enough.

Model comparison techniques allow researchers to test one model against another to see which better explains a particular distribution of data [77], [78]. So, whereas standard regression techniques are able to tell you the amount of deviance explained by a particular model, they do not provide information about whether you should have a preference for one model over another given a particular set of data. Model comparison techniques are therefore useful summaries of the available information and are better viewed as inductive-style approaches that should be complementary to the hypothetico-deductive and falisificationist approaches more typically associated with the scientific process [72]. Model comparison can also be used to test linear versus non-linear assumptions. Phylogenetic comparative methods A simple, although conservative, test that controls for the relatedness of languages is to run the analysis within each language family (as in [1]). For example, the correlation between acacia trees and tonal languages is only significant for one language family, which is evidence against a causal relationship. However, more sophisticated methods are available. Studies of cultural traits have borrowed tools from biology to control for the non-independence of cultures [11]. Comparative methods include estimating the strength of a phylogenetic signal [49], [79] and estimating the correlation between variables while controlling for the relatedness of observations [80]–[82]. For example, in the analyses above we found that speakers who take siestas have grammars with less verbal morphology. While experiments show that daytime naps affect procedural memory [83], which has been linked to morphological processing [84], the predictions run in the opposite direction to the results. However, doing the same analysis, but accounting for the relatedness of languages using a phylogenetic tree [80], this correlation disappears entirely (r = 0.017, t = 0.13, p = 0.89, see methods). This highlights the very different implications that can come out of nomothetic studies when considering the independence of the observations. While phylogenetic methods are relatively new and phylogenetic reconstruction (see below) is computationally expensive, software for phylogenetic comparative methods is freely available (e.g. packages for R, [85]–[88]) and do not require intense computing power. The more limiting factor for studies of linguistic features is a lack of standard, high-resolution phylogenetic trees. Other phylogenetic techniques have been used to reconstruct likely trees of descent from cultural data (e.g. [89]–[91]). These may also be useful as further steps for determining whether links between cultural traits discovered by nomothetic studies are robust.
The liberators all agreed that these prisoners had been shot, although some witnesses said that they had been shot in the neck, while others said that they had been mowed down by machine gun fire. The American soldiers were told by Ohrdruf survivors that these prisoners had been shot by the SS on April 2nd because they had run out of trucks for transporting sick prisoners out of the camp, but there were sick prisoners still inside the barracks when the Americans arrived. Among the soldiers who helped to liberate Ohrdruf was Charles T. Payne, who is Senator Barak Obama's great uncle, the brother of his maternal grandmother. Charles T. Payne was a member of Company K, 355th Infantry Regiment, 89th Infantry Division. According to an Associated Press story, published on June 4, 2009, Charles T. Payne's unit arrived at the Ohrdruf camp on April 6, 1945. The following is an excerpt from the Associated Press story: "I remember the whole area before you got to the camp, the town and around the camp, was full of people who had been inmates," Payne, 84, said in a telephone interview from his home in Chicago. "The people were in terrible shape, dressed in rags, most of them emaciated, the effects of starvation. Practically skin and bones." When Payne's unit arrived, the gates to the camp were open, the Nazis already gone. "In the gate, in the very middle of the gate on the ground was a dead man whose head had been beaten in with a metal bar," Payne recalled. The body was of a prisoner who had served as a guard under the Germans and been killed by other inmates that morning. "A short distance inside the front gate was a place where almost a circle of people had been ... killed and were lying on the ground, holding their tin cups, as if they had been expecting food and were instead killed," he said. "You could see where the machine gun had been set up behind some bushes, but the Germans were all gone by that time." He said he only moved some 200-300 feet (60-100 meters) inside of the camp. But that was enough to capture images so horrible that Gen. George S. Patton Jr. ordered townspeople into Ohrdruf to see for themselves the crimes committed by their countrymen - an order that would repeated at Buchenwald, Dachau and other camps liberated by U.S. soldiers.
Pushing into the Mainstream in Central Europe In Nations in Transit 2017, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, and Ukraine suffered declines on the Civil Society indicator due to the increased influence of violent extremist and intolerant groups on the public discourse. These four countries have among the best Civil Society scores in the survey (above 2.50 out of 7.00). Violent extremist groups have been noted in a number of other countries covered by the report, but they were not downgraded because the scores were already low enough to account for the presence of such groups. The local causes for the growth in extremist activity vary, but everywhere they thrive, these forces have built on existing societal prejudice and intolerance toward certain minority groups. In the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Bulgaria, the ongoing refugee crisis reawakened illiberal groups and spurred a sharp rise in hate speech and radical mobilization. Vigilante units that had previously focused on intimidating Romany communities in small towns turned to patrolling train cars and border areas in 2015 and 2016, with some attacking refugees and posing as “migrant hunters.” Politicians in all three countries courted the extremists, sometimes explicitly. In the Czech Republic, President Miloš Zeman cheered on the Islamophobic far-right, appearing at rallies for the “Bloc Against Islam.” In Bulgaria, the dominant center-right Citizens for the European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) party harnessed populist rhetoric, cooperating with the extremist Patriotic Front in government and banning the full-face veil. The political strategy did not always work: Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico tacked hard to the antirefugee right during 2015 and 2016, but his party lost ground in elections even as the neofascist People’s Party–Our Slovakia entered parliament for the first time alongside a number of other outsider parties. In Ukraine, the radical right has grown in the context of the war with Russia, which has left nearly 10,000 Ukrainians dead and understandably generated nationalist sentiment. After playing a major role in confronting the Russian invasion in 2014, far-right paramilitary groups have been pulled off the front lines, but they still play a provocative role in national politics, often with the tacit approval of the government. In 2016, right-wing protesters sacked the offices of a pro-Russian television station, Inter TV, and radical activists released the names and personal information of dozens of local and international journalists who had entered separatist-held areas of Donbas to report on the war.
According to Fidler’s tracking, many ex-offenders settle in one of the city’s six “focus area” neighborhoods, identified by public safety officials for their high rates of violent crime and blight. One of them is Haughville, the neighborhood where Buford grew up, and where he’s now trying to make it. They’re far from ideal places to turn a life around. “If there’s a lot of unkempt abandoned homes, and high weeds and grass, and trash laying around, and nobody cares enough to even pick it up, why do I, as a re-entrant, have any cause to have any hope?” Fidler says. Indianapolis police found that 84 percent of the suspects they arrested last year for criminal homicide had a criminal history, a statistic that’s rising, up from 70 percent four years earlier. So rehabilitating criminals is key to preventing killings. Brian Reeder, the city’s director of re-entry, says that must happen well before a criminal is released from prison and long after they get home. “If you rehabilitate a person to the point that they are even thinking about changing their lifestyle, and then they come back into the community and they’re forced back into a dysfunctional situation and we haven’t addressed those systemic issues,” they’re highly likely to reoffend, Reeder says. “There are a lot of things that go beyond just a person getting out of prison and starting on the road to quote-unquote ‘recovery,’” he says. Trouble It took Steven Buford a long time to reach the tipping point toward recovery. But without work, he spends a lot of idle time at home. He’s trying to put himself in the right situations -- his girlfriend is encouraging him to try art school -- and evolve from his past. “Then again, I could have just stayed out of trouble.” he says. “I could have been somebody. I wouldn’t have to deal with this. I would be a whole completely different person.” But trouble is still there, which for Buford, is smoking marijuana. He got caught again in February for possession of marijuana and driving without a license. He’s hoping to avoid prison time and it’s probable he’ll just serve probation. But given his record, it’s a felony offense that could send him back to prison for a year.
Bill Barhydt, founder and CEO of Abra, points to all the “hands in the pie” in traditional transactions, like those orchestrated by market leaders like Western Union, MoneyGram, and RIA. Remittances can be initiated via an agent (like those affiliated with Western Union or MoneyGram), a bank branch, a post office, the internet, and via mobile. So there’s someone at the cash window taking the money. There’s the agent’s bank. There are “correspondent banks” on both sides of a national border. There’s the bank for the agent in the receiving country. There’s the disbursing agent. There’s Western Union or MoneyGram itself. Founded in 1851 as a telegraph company, Western Union has more than 550,000 agents in 200 countries. It completed 268 million consumer transactions in 2016, worth $80 billion. Together with MoneyGram and RIA, it controls more than a quarter of the international market. And, as its longevity implies, it’s been adept at beating back competition before now. The company generated revenue of $5.4 billion in 2016, with operating income of $484 million. In an interview with Fast Company, Western Union’s chief information officer David Thompson says the cost of regulatory compliance, including new anti-money laundering regulations introduced after 9/11, raises the cost of sending money internationally. (Banks and transfer companies are now required to identify customers and report transactions in excess of $10,000). But the compliance burden also makes it difficult for new entrants to eat into its business. “Western Union is in a highly regulated industry globally, requiring licenses in every jurisdiction you operate in. You need a strong money laundering and broad risk program in place,” Thompson says. “Technology doesn’t solve all those business and regulatory issues. Some pure technology plays forget that. We live in a world with criminal networks and entities that you have to keep out of your infrastructure. There’s a pretty high barrier to entry because of the risks associated with the market.” In his TED talk, Ratha has a less complicated explanation for the high cost of remittances. “Money transfer companies structure their fees to milk the poor,” he says. Development groups often point to a lack of competition and financial regulation in poorer countries. African migrants in particular pay a so-called “super-tax” on international transfers, and the market power of MoneyGram and Western Union is likely one proximate cause.

However, a GEO vice president for corporate relations said in an email that “GEO’s facilities … provide high quality services in safe, secure, and humane residential environments, and our company strongly refutes allegations to the contrary.” An ICE spokesperson said in an email that “ICE has a strict zero tolerance policy for any kind of abusive or inappropriate behavior in its facilities and takes any allegations of such mistreatment seriously. The LaSalle Detention Center has been inspected repeatedly during the time period covered by these allegations — most recently in September — and in all instances the facility has been found to operate in compliance with ICE’s rigorous [standards].” Within her first year at LaSalle, J.B. signed up to join what was essentially the facility’s in-house riot control unit, because it offered better pay. The training, she said, was minimal, and most of the team’s members were young men who, at the slightest disturbance, “would all put on their little suits and just run in on somebody and tackle him. Like they’re playing football again, like they’re reliving high school.” Officers were supposed to file use-of-force reports after any such incident, J.B. said, but they rarely did — much like how guards routinely neglected to videotape searches of a detainee’s property, a measure designed to avoid theft or the planting of evidence. On those occasions when legitimate riot control was needed, J.B. said, the team was mostly ineffectual. She recalled a vicious, chaotic brawl between one dorm’s black and Hispanic inmates. She arrived to see an immigrant’s head hit the dorm window, leaving a streak of blood on the glass. As the sergeant and lieutenant in charge stood frozen outside the dorm, the fight simply died down. “They had all just worn themselves out,” J.B. said.
But he didn’t say they were doing it today and he didn’t say it would be tomorrow.” A year after the 1981 scare, Israel invaded Lebanon, with the stated purpose of destroying PLO bases in that country. In fact, the assault also served as a pretext for striking at Syrian forces there, another attempt to bring closure to the lasting trauma of the Yom Kippur War. The Syrian forces in Lebanon were devastated in the attack, and in its wake the prevailing opinion in Israeli intelligence was that Syria, having just suffered from the overwhelming force of the IDF, would now be very unlikely to engage in another conflict with Israel. According to Gil’s reports, however, Red Falcon was saying the opposite. The intelligence Gil passed on was that Assad was preparing a secret plan to regain the Golan Heights territory that Israel had occupied since 1967. A source who served in the Mossad’s Research Division at the time told me that Red Falcon “began reporting on something that he called the ‘limited-attack theory.’” The thinking went like this, he said: “[The Syrians] wanted to do to Israel the same thing the Egyptians had succeeded so well at in October 1973—a limited ground attack to conquer a narrow strip inside Israeli-held territory, where they would enjoy the protection of their anti-aircraft missiles and artillery. Special forces would then be flown in by choppers and take Mount Hermon. The intention,” he said, “was to shock Israel and the world and to force Israel, this time in an inferior position, to begin negotiating the return of the Golan Heights to Syria.” Red Falcon had not given a date for the offensive, but the limited-attack theory gradually acquired supporters in the intelligence community, and the pressure on Gil to get as much intelligence as possible from his source intensified. In order to facilitate that, Mossad directors allowed Gil to forgo a whole host of procedures normally employed to assure the veracity of intelligence, including recording conversations with his source, introducing a second case officer into the relationship, and facilitating face-to-face debriefings of the source with agency experts. When the Mossad directorate ordered Gil to take another case officer along with him, he told them that Red Falcon refused to talk to him. Attempts to send in a female case officer posing as Gil’s wife also failed. And when his bosses insisted that Gil record his meetings, the machine didn’t work properly.

Huawei's starting to build a reputation for good phones How far Huawei has come. This time last year, the Chinese company’s flagship P8 was barely a blip on the mobile radar, leaving me unimpressed with its bland design and gimmicky software. But in the months since the P8, Huawei has been responsible for 2015’s best Android device, Google’s Nexus 6P, and some of this year’s best battery life, courtesy of the Mate 8 phablet. Now second only to Samsung in Android smartphone shipments, Huawei has designs on assaulting the US market in 2016, and the flagship at the vanguard of that raid might well be the P9. I don’t care for the Leica fanfare surrounding the launch of the P9, but this smartphone’s existence will certainly have a positive effect on how the Huawei brand is perceived. The P9 proves that Huawei can make great phones outside of Google’s Nexus program, and it extends a budding tradition of excellence at Huawei. The design of Huawei’s new flagship is terrific. For its specs and capabilities, the P9 is a ridiculously thin and light phone, and it has the fit and finish of a true premium device. It has some compromises, as all phones do, and for many people it might not really have a unique advantage to make it stand out. But for me, this smartphone is just a joy to use. I have been using the P9 for a month and my feelings toward it have only grown warmer over that time. Over the full term of owning a phone, the better cameras, performance, and battery life of Samsung’s Galaxy S7 and Apple’s iPhone make them preferable choices ahead of the Huawei P9. This new smartphone has important limitations that must temper my enthusiasm. But for now at least, I remain enamored with the P9’s perfect proportions, unfailingly fast fingerprint sensor, and intelligent software additions. Should Huawei release a version of this phone built around the Snapdragon 820 processor, my biggest worries about battery life and performance will perish into nothing. The Huawei P9 is a major stride forward from a smartphone maker on its way to competing with the very best.
When I first heard Yves Tumor, it was through my friend’s car speaker. Typically, that isn’t a really good medium from which to truly ‘hear’ new music, especially when it’s music that is as layered and intricate as Yves Tumor’s. However, the pure emotional tension and electronic magic of the single “Noid” was so potent, I could hear it loud and clear. That same friend would probably murder me for placing Safe In The Hands of Love at the ‘low’ spot of 10 (he’d make it 1 for the decade, most likely), so I should start with what I don’t like about this record. Again, the songs here have layers upon layers of samples, snippets, live instrumentation – you name it, it’s there. But they’re mixed in such a way that doesn’t make it sound like a dizzying cacophony. Most of the time, the most audible parts are the most essential – pulsating drums, some synths, Yves himself – which means that these tracks require a lot of time and a lot of focus to really ‘grab’ all that is in there. Being said, I have no doubt that with more time, this album could climb higher up on my list. Aside from that Yves singing style is a little…one-note. And that note is ‘emo-pop singer from the later 2000’s, early 2010’s’. You could place him in front of a Front Bottoms or Modern Baseball song and he wouldn’t sound that out of place. Still, it is typically very emotional and tense singing topped with some impactful and surreal lyricism. The beats on this thing are K I L L E R. The drum grooves range from industrial thumpers, nimble trip hop beats, and (my personal favorite) the overwhelming destruction of the final track. Yves finds a lot of unique ways to blend a very unique and new style of experimental music – a style that would only be possible in today’s computer age, mind you – with some downright infectious and physical pop tunes. And this blend is so seamless and fantastic that it’s one of my favorite albums of the year.
It remains faced with issues related to provision and maintenance of credibility in its product and the prevention of downstream opportunistic or untoward behavior and "unsanctioned teachings" at the lower levels of the church. There are challenges to Church interpretations of Nicene doctrines as well. Church attendance and membership is declining in most advanced nations with growth observed primarily in the third world. The pedophilia crisis, for one issue only, has challenged credibility in the Church's teaching in a number of countries. Cafeteria Catholics have tended to pick and choose a belief system and claim to remain Roman Catholic. Claims of papal infallibility (established in 1871) have extended to interpretations of the Old and New Testaments and policies regarding issues such as married priests, women priests, and gay rights and marriage. The Church, in some matters throughout history, has had to choose between literal and metaphorical interpretations of the Testaments and policies of the Church. Maintenance of credence, for example, has required evolutionary and metaphorical interpretations of Leviticus (25:44-46) where slavery is sanctioned or Luke (12: 47-48) where the beating of slaves is also given written approval in the New Testament. In Exodus (35:2) death was the sentence for working on the Sabbath. The literal interpretation of Genesis has been strained and twisted to accommodate Galileo and Darwin with the Vatican now admitting that life might well exist on other planets - a position for which Giordano Bruno burned in 1600 under the Roman Inquisition. With Roman Catholics of the developed world in the vanguard of supporting such policies as gay marriage and married or women priests, credibility in the product as established and interpreted in the top-down structure of the Church might suggest some new interpretation of Scripture and policies might emerge on these issues. Economic Origins of Roman Christianity, eschewing normative positions on these matters, concludes that many contemporary problems faced by Roman Christianity are the progeny of developments in the emergence of First Millennium Christianity. It is in that era when the nature of the Christian product was fashioned and agreed to (if not its full interpretation), when apostle-entrepreneurs promulgated the belief structure attached to that product, and when the top-down organization of the Church required policing of the downstream sellers of the doctrine of Roman Christianity evolved. That structure remains to influence policy even in a highly competitive Christian environment today.
The Question Meet Gotham City's second most prominent gay superhero: Renee Montoya, who currently operates under the guise of The Question. Renee is one of two female characters who successfully made the transition from Batman: The Animated Series, their place of origin, to the canon of actual Batman comics (the other is Harley Quinn). In B:TAS Renee was introduced as a beat officer both Hispanic, Catholic, and female, and eventually was promoted to detective. Her first comic appearance was in Batman #475, in 1992, but she didn't really get anything to do until 1999, in the events of No Man's Land, which eventually lead to Officer Down (Greg Rucka's and Ed Brubaker's first dabbling in the lives Gotham's Major Crimes Unit), which in turn led to Gotham Central, one of the most critically acclaimed and least bought series in DC's history. In Gotham Central Renee became a fully rounded character, one of the series' leads, and she was outed as a lesbian by Two-Face (this was actually much creepier and serious and less silly than it sounds) in the second story arc. Her parents disowned her, her coworkers began throwing slurs around, a few story arcs later her partner was nearly implicated in the murder of a villain because of a crooked cop, she was briefly invaded by the freed spirit of the Deadly Sin of Rage (the series' only brush with the DC maxi-event of the time), her girlfriend left her because of her ongoing anger management problems (stemming from her possession, which no superheroic character was on hand to explain or fix), and her partner was murdered by the aforementioned crooked cop, who walks off scott free. In light of all this, Renee quit the GCPD, unable to serve and keep her sanity at the same time. So when Greg Rucka came back to her for 52, the same series that reintroduced Batwoman as canon, Renee was in a particularly deep, dark hole. Her partnership with, and subsequent succession as, The Question was one of the better plot threads that wound through the year-long story, and it took brought Renee from "slowly drinking herself to death" to "badass vigilante taking down international drug cartels." But lets backpedal a moment: because every superhero is paired up at some point with every other compatible superhero, Renee Montoya and Kate Kane (Batwoman) dated before they got to the costumed phase of their lives.
But I kind of tune it out because there's a lot of chatter and a lot of different languages and dialects. They don't talk to me and I'm good with that. I've said to people before, "I really can't talk to you because there is so much to concentrate on." There are flocks of pigeons that come at my windshield, bicyclists, crazy drivers, motorcyclists, police, emergency vehicles, fire hydrants, and telephone polls. Driving in the Mission and Noe Valley, oh my god, it is such a nightmare going through there. The lanes are really small. It is so dangerous. Thankfully nothing has ever happened, but there were lots of close calls. People would open their doors and I'm doing 35 [mph]. I had to swerve because I don't want to hurt anyone. In a split second I would rather crash into the car next to me than take their door out.
They want to babble about branding, well, they've just been branded. A Gab response from /pol/:
I decided that I would stick to the same format / length / BPM of the original versions and make each track in the same order as Donuts. To get the songs length and arrangement right I created a new session in Live for each song and beatmapped every track. If you are familiar with Donuts you will know that there are tracks that speed up and slow down for effect and I wanted to make sure I had this right as the tempo is just as important as the other parts of the arrangement. There are only a couple of tracks that I broke these rules on – but you have to break a few rules right!?! How did you go about translating tracks that are entirely sample-based to conventional instruments? How did you go about “assigning” each element from a track to an appropriate instrument? Was there an overall sound you were going for? I decided to put a few limitations on myself from the start. These limitations were to use the instruments that were around me at the start of the project. So these are: Roland Rhythm 330 drum machine, Akai MPC60, a drum kit, Roland MP-600 Electric Piano, Push 2, Roland RE-301 Chorus Echo, Roland Juno 60, Moog Slim Phatty, Fender P and Jazz Bass and my UAD Apollo. I did stray from these instruments from time to time but they are the bulk of the sound of the record. This limitation helped me create an overall sound for the record. The combination of old and new instruments is such a cool concept for me. To not be able to tell if a sound is analog or digitally sourced is something I find really intriguing – the filter options in Live and the Max for Live synths really means the digi/analog lines are very blurred. Once I had the instrumentation locked in then song by song I would just listen to the original version of the record and jam along to the track on one of my instruments. Once I had an instrumental part that I got a good vibe from I would mute the original track and get started on my version. I used that technique because, to me, it is a very similar process to making a beat with samples. The overall sound I was going for is the sound of basement funk, artists like Jeff Phelps.
It gets even better - the custom for an IP Conflict was yoda tossing a coin in front of his webcam. A strategy adopted by Plumbum in the NO KR Tour later. That worked, too. Fuck professional eSports when you can have amateur Brood War!It's not the desire to make the game as popular as it possible can be, the need to rub Brood War in players from different communities that made me a long term part of the scene.

Our friends from the East do understand English very good (if you're an idiot some chose to pretend they don't though), sometimes it's hard for them to respond due to the language barrier, but for the most, it's doable. I highly encourage you to actually give it a try.Cyrillic seems hard to read, when it really isn't. I suggest - if you really want - to look it up somewhere. Once you got the hang of it you can abuse google translator to transform the romanized sentences into cyrllic. It works so-so, but with a bit of training it's doable. Here are a few phrases to impress the Russians:Once you mastered the puzzle you can register an account at defiler.ru. With this you can actively participate in the chat on the right hand side - which is way easier than it seems. I can only recommend you learn how to use the meme's, these are what makes the chat so awesome. Everyone talks in memes and so should you.You'll see that at the bottom of the table there are a few options., and I can't stress this enough, open a picture if you can't watch NSFW content. Defiler is an adult community (except Dewalt), hence a lot of tits. Tits and Defiler go hand in hand.Also, these things do work, too:Gas on Defiler means some sort of currency. You get a few by registrating or can win some in some tournaments (Gaz Tournaments). Sometimes, if you contribute well, some Russians may gift you some. It's for no real use, just to make the bets on streams more interesting.
“Machine gun bullets over and over again failed to stop the galloping horses even though many of them succumbed afterwards to their injuries. "Following the victory, outriders from the Mysore Lancers were immediately dispatched to guard Abdu’l Baha’s house. In 1920, he was given a knighthood in 1920, for his humanitarian efforts during the war.India is now the largest home of the Bahai community in the world, with over two million population. The Bahai religion was founded by Baha’u’llah (1817-1892). ''India has been associated with the Bahai Faith right from its inception in 1844, as one of the 18 people who recognised and accepted the Bab, the forerunner of Baha'u'llah, was from India,'' said Amy Kems, a public officer at the Baha'i Office of Public Affairs.Today’s Haifa day event will focus attention on the numerous minority communities that flourish in India, including the Parsis, Zorostarian-Iranis, Jews, Ismailsi, Bohras, Christians, and, of course, the Bahais. Said Major Chandrakant, “The contribution by the minorities in India has been far in excess of what their numbers would warrant.”The event, which will also mark the centenary of World War I, will also be attended by descendants of men of the Jodhpur and Mysore Lancers who participated in that hard-fought battle.
Society isn’t sympathetic to harassed men; being beaten up by one’s wife invites mockery and jokes, and men who speak out about their woes are considered ‘unmanly’.Like women, men also find it hard to get out of abusive relationships, but Anil feels that the situation is worse for men, as they not only fear being away from their children, but are also worried about a false dowry case being filed against them. Men who are accused of domestic violence get marginalized by society and even friends and family turn their backs on them. Rukma believes that for men, it is huge emotional battle, one which proved to be too much for one Bangalore resident. Manoj Kumar approached the police after he was assaulted by his wife, and the cops not only ridiculed him, but said that they will call his wife and ask her to file a case against him. Manoj took his own life.Thirty three-year-old Santosh Raj was faced with a similar predicament, but chose to fight instead. His world came crashing down when three months into his marriage, his wife hired goons, who not only attacked him, but also beat up his parents, brothers and sister. “My wife accused me of impotency and demanded money. If I was impotent, then she would have come to know on the first night itself; why did she have to wait for three months? She demanded 1 crore for a divorce. My father somehow brought this amount down to 35 lakh. As per the arrangement, 15 lakh was paid and the remaining amount was to be paid after the divorce was finalized. But they soon started asking for the remaining amount. I knew that they wouldn’t stop harassing me if I gave them 20 lakh, so I went underground for some time,” says Santosh.Abuse against men is no laughing matter. The Save Indian Family Foundation meets once a week and every week, 4-5 new people attend these meetings. The demands of all harassed men are simply this: There must be a misuse clause added to the Domestic Violence Act and the law must be genderneutral, so that women can’t falsely accuse their husbands.Protect children: Just like women, men worry that leaving their spouses will harm their children or prevent them from having access to them.
Ms. Tymoshenko issued a statement urging people “to react to this as they would to a coup d’état” and take to the streets. A Violent Confrontation With Police In the early morning, riot police officers, swinging truncheons and spraying bursts of tear gas, forcibly broke up the crowd in Independence Square, which had been the main protest site for more than a week. Furious over what they said was excessive brutality by the police, thousands more took to the streets to call for Mr. Yanukovich’s resignation. Yanukovich Flies to China With protesters encamped in Kiev's City Hall and at least two other public buildings in Independence Square, Mr. Yanukovich proceeded with a long-planned state visit to China. He saw the collection of ancient artifacts and toured a factory, among other outings. A deputy prime minister of Ukraine, Yuri Boiko, traveled to Moscow the same day. Ukrainian officials have been looking to Russia and China as potential sources of financing as discussions with the International Monetary Fund over an aid package crumbled. Protesters Topple Statue of Lenin Demonstrations erupted into a full-throttle civil uprising, as hundreds of thousands of protesters answered Mr. Yanukovich’s dismissiveness with their biggest rally yet. At the height of the unrest, a seething crowd toppled and smashed a statue of Lenin, the most prominent monument to the Communist leader in Kiev. After an electrifying assembly in Independence Square, the huge crowd surged across the capital, erecting barriers to block the streets around the presidential headquarters and pitching huge tents in strategic intersections. They were not challenged by the police, who had largely disengaged since their bloody crackdown on Nov. 30. International Concern Grows Riot police officers and Interior Ministry troops began pushing protesters out of streets near main government buildings, including the presidential headquarters. Ukrainian security forces raided the headquarters of an opposition party, Fatherland, and cut off electricity to the occupied City Hall. International concern over the unrest in Ukraine appeared to deepen as the United Nations secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, telephoned Mr. Yanukovich, and Western leaders continued to call on him to respond to the demonstrators’ demands. Security Forces Storm Square Hours after Western diplomats arrived in Kiev for meetings with Mr. Yanukovich, thousands of riot police officers and internal ministry troops fanned across Kiev, putting the Ukrainian capital in a virtual lockdown in the cold predawn darkness.

The leading critic of the concept of civic nationalism was Anthony Smith, starting with his book, The Ethnic Origins of Nations , and multiple publications since. His main contention was that modern nations were not createdon the basis of civic values alone or because the ruling elites wanted to augment their authority through modern infrastructures; rather, nation states were created on the basis of pre-existing ancestral ties and sense of historical continuity. A sense of nationhood predated the modern era and could be traced as far back as ancient times and throughout the world. The nations of Europe were not mere “inventions” or functional requirements of modernity, but were factually rooted in the past, in common myths of descent. While the rise of modern industry and modern bureaucracies allowed for the materialization of nation-states in Europe, these nations were primordially based on a population with a collective sense of kinship.Smith’s work was undoubtedly fruitful in challenging the notion that Western nations were inherently civic. Yet, for all this, Smith’s concept of ethnicity was more about the importance of past communities, a rough territory, a language, artistic styles, myths and symbols, states of mind, than about emphasizing any form of identity along blood lines — actual common lineage and consanguinity. To be sure, an ethnic group cannot be categorized as a race, but his concept of ethnicity followed the mandated social science prohibition against the inclusion of biological references, physical characteristics, skin color, body shape, and other features that have a racial dimension. Ethnicity was defined by Smith in terms of cultural traits, linguistic, historical and territorial traits, common mythology and folkways.Meanwhile, as Smith was busy writing historical works, and without his full awareness, an avalanche of ethnically oriented programs, hundreds of conferences and academics were eagerly affirming the value of ethnicity, but only in relation to "oppressed" groups. Writing about this would require a separate paper. Perhaps the best way to sum up our current obsession with ethnic talk is to look at the mission statements of Ethnic Studies programs or departments. These are very vocal in claiming that race is a reality of the West that cannot be ignored because racism has been and continues to be one of the "most powerful social and cultural forces in American society and in modernity at large."

“A girl I was going out with lusted after him,” a student told me. “She said he had good legs.” “Was he spoiled?” “Everyone at Beverly Hills High is spoiled.” “Like his father, Lyle is said to have been a great ladies’ man, which pleased Jose, but several of Lyle’s girlfriends, mostly older than he, were not considered to be suitable by his parents, and clashes occurred. When Jose forbade Lyle to go to Europe with an older girlfriend, Lyle went anyway. A person extremely close to the family told me that another of Lyle’s girlfriends—not Jamie Pisarick, who has been so loyal to him during his incarceration—was “manipulating him,” which I took to mean manipulating him into marriage. This girl became pregnant. Jose, in his usual method of dealing with his sons’ problems, moved in and paid off the girl to abort the child. The manner of Jose’s interference in so personal a matter—not allowing Lyle to deal with his own problem—is said to have infuriated Lyle and caused a deep rift between father and son. Lyle moved out of the main house into the guesthouse at the back of the property. He was still living there at the time of the murders, although Erik continued to live in the main house. Karen Lamm told me that in her final conversation with Kitty, three days before the killing and one day before the purchase of the guns in San Diego, Kitty told her that Lyle had been verbally abusive to her in a long, late-night call from the guesthouse to the main house.
6) By the time of the writing of High Magic’s Aid, Gardner seems to have read The Equinox Vol. I Number III since ritual material apparently from the version of the Golden Dawn Z.2 papers given there appears in two places in High Magic’s Aid (details of the wording suggests that it was taken from this source rather than from the version of the Golden Dawn Z.2 papers given in Israel Regardie’s The Golden Dawn Volume 3). As I have argued above, I think it is extremely unlikely that Leviter Veslis was composed by an O.T.O. initiate who was familiar with or had access to a copy of The Book of the Law. I thus conclude that if it was composed by Gardner, it was presumably composed before May 7th 1947. Since Gardner was evidently eager during 1947 to pass on Crowley’s ideas, I find it equally implausible that it was written in or after May 1947 by a close friend and magical co-worker of Gardner’s (such as Edith Woodford Grimes or any other member of the New Forest coven — if the New Forest Coven did indeed exist). Indeed, had it been written only shortly before May 1947, I think it likely that Gardner would have rewritten it on coming to understand more of Crowley’s ideas. It thus seems more likely to me that it was composed sufficiently before 1947 to have become well-know and well-liked by that time, say in 1946 at the latest. Since The Equinox Volume III Number 1 was published in 1919, it thus seems likely to me that Leviter Veslis was composed at some time during the period between 1919 and about 1946. If, as suggested above, The Blue Equinox was not obtained until after Arnold Crowther had come upon Magick in Theory and Practice during the War, that would constrain the date further to the period between about 1940 and about 1946. Was Gardner the composer of Leviter Veslis? It seems quite plausible to me that he was, possibly together with Mrs. Edith Woodford-Grimes. Firstly, we know that Dorothy Clutterbuck was good at writing poetry, since several books of her poetry have survived.24 While she often quotes from other poets, her normal pattern is to quote a couple of lines and to then write the rest of a poem based on the quotation.

Trimble also disputed Solow's claim in his book Inside Star Trek: The Real Story that the footage was taken from the studio vaults and the implications it therefore entailed, "Not in the sense the book implied; that we helped ourselves to valuable archival film. All the film clips and strips were part of the stacks and stacks and stacks of film and boxes of film in the editing rooms." [13] While Trimble's assertion does have merit in regard to the onstage live footage – once the edited finished episode is "in the can", unused footage of this kind did loose its production value at the time – , this does not hold true for the visual effects footage, especially the raw, unfinished, effects footage, those of the studio models in particular. Firstly, this footage was not shot at the studio, but rather at the respective effects houses (such as Howard Anderson Company and Film Effects of Hollywood), where the footage was not only shot but also composited into the final footage by using a specialized piece of equipment called an optical printer, a highly sophisticated and very expensive piece of equipment the studio simply did not have at those times. Supervised by the studio's post-production supervisor, in this case Edward K. Milkis, the finished effects footage was then delivered to the studio for editing into the final episode, along with the raw unused and uncomposited effects footage for archiving. Secondly, this footage, both finished and raw and being very expensive to produce (the finished footage therefore produced at exactly the specified script requirements and not a foot of film beyond), was even in "those bygone days" too valuable to discard while a television series – science fiction shows for their technical sophistication in particular – was still in production, even if not used for a particular episode, for their recycle or reuse potential in later episodes and the very reason why Don Rode went looking for them in the first place. As Lincoln also sold clippings of the raw effects footage, which had no business being in the studio's editing rooms anyway, at least some of the footage was indeed taken, if not by the Trimbles then by the Roddenberrys themselves, from the studio vaults. Not finding any of the effects footage he was looking for, Rode had to make do with stock-footage of the Enterprise for the third season. (Inside Star Trek: The Real Story, 1997, pp. 400-401)
Thus, pathogenic bacteria themselves have not yet evolved effective resistance mechanisms to the glycopeptide antibiotics, even after nearly 60 y of widespread use (38). This latter observation has suggested to us that solutions to VanA and VanB resistance alone may provide antibiotics with durable clinical lifetimes.
We are not saved because we believe, but it is through faith in Christ (sola fide) that God saves --- from our being made alive in Christ, to our exercising faith, to being saved from God's wrath, and our being raised in Christ and even now, our being seated in the heavenlies with him --- it is all God's doing, not ours. The fact is, Paul says that we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, on account of Christ alone and the whole thing, from beginning to end, is a gift. We'll talk about how faith relates to this in our second hour, but if you think that grace depends upon faith, and not the other way around, you misread and misunderstand Paul at this point. This becomes clear in Romans 10, as Paul says there that "faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of Christ." That is, faith arises in connection with the preaching of the gospel. As Jesus spoke forth the word of God and raised Lazarus from the dead, the same thing happens to us through the preaching and sharing of the gospel today. For it is through the word of the Gospel, and only through the Word of the Gospel, that God calls us forth from the dead -- or to use Paul's language here, "God made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in sin, for you have been saved by grace." And this beloved, is precisely what we mean when we speak of grace alone. God makes us alive, when we are dead in sin. This is what it means to be saved by grace alone. 4) Why is it, then, that American evangelicals have so many problems with this biblical teaching? There is no teaching in Christian theology that offends our contemporaries (especially our Christian friends and family), any more then the teaching of sola gratia. Americans hate to be told "no," that they are helpless. Surprisingly, the greatest opposition to the biblical teaching on this point comes not from a secular culture, but from household-name leaders in the American Church.
He liked the word ‘philosophology.’ It was just right. It had a nice dull, cumbersome, superfluous, appearance that exactly fitted its subject matter, and he had been using it for some time now. Philosophology is to philosophy as musicology is to music, or as art history and art appreciation are to art, or as literary criticism is to creative writing. It’s a derivative, secondary field, a sometimes parasitic growth that likes to think it controls its host by analyzing and intellectualizing its host’s behaviour. Literature people are sometimes puzzled by the hatred many creatice writers have for them. Art historians can’t understand the venom either. He supposed the same was true with musicologists but he didn’t know enough about them. But philosophologists don’t have this problem at all because the philosophers who would normally condemn them are a null-class. They don’t exist. Philosophologists, calling themselves philosophers, are just about all there are. You can imagine the ridiculousness if an art historian taking his students to museums, having them write a thesis on some historical or technical aspect of what they see there, and after a few years of this giving them degrees that say they are accomplished artists. They’ve never held a brush or a mallet and chisel in their hands. All they know is art history. Yet, ridiculous as it sounds, this is exactly what happens in the philosophology that calls itself philosophy. Students aren’t expected to philosophize. Their instructors would hardly know what to say if they did. They’d probably compare the student’s writing to Mill or Kant or somebody like that, find the student’s work grossly inferior, and tell him to abandon it. As a student Phædrus [Pirsig’s alter ego in the book] had been warned that he would ‘come a cropper’ if he got too attached to any philosophical ideas of his own. Literature, musicology, art history, and philosophology thrive in academic institutions because they are easy to teach. You just Xerox something some philosopher has said and make the students discuss it, make them memorize it, and then flunk them at the end of the quarter if they forget it. Actual painting, music composition and creative writing are almost impossible to teach and so they barely get in the academic door. True philosophy doesn’t get in at all.
