bizarre sexual nature, you were entering the realm
of Bast. Who exactly was she?
Often identified as the Egyptian cat goddess, Bast is one of the
most ancient forms of Babalon, the Mother goddess. Bast is portrayed
as both a cat and lion. As the goddess of sexual magick, she ruled
over lust and sexual heat. It was her job to see
The Sacred Cat

potentialities manifested and had their day in the sun. Bast is
readily identified as the Beast because she "presided" over the
vast sexual experiments of Atlantis (and later Egypt) which gave
rise to mermaids, minotaurs, centaurs, Pegasus and the like.
Bast's legacy gives us at least two words in our modem lexicon. The
word "bastard" was derived from the Pandora's Box that opened with
the unrestricted breeding practices that were common during her
reign. During the reign of the goddess, paternity was not an issue.
Marriage came into being in large part due to the need to preserve a
patriarchal structure for inheritance and succession purposes. When
the father god took over, he made parentage an issue and punished
women who bore children outside of the established tradition of
wedlock. This is not so much a moral issue as a power issue.
Amazon cultures were known to be able to breed without the use of a
male. Because the human body is primarily androgynous, a separation
of the sexes is not theoretically necessary for procreation. This
contention about the Amazons is backed up by the fact that the zona
pellucida (the reproductive body in the female which contains a
sack) can be penetrated by a latent male protein within the
inherited genetic structure of the female that the body thinks and
treats like a sperm. This results in a virgin birth.
It could be argued that the Amazons were unbalanced in the direction
of the female energies. Whether or not that is true is not the
point. Their culture and the general goddess culture of that time
period was supplanted by a patriarchal culture that has attempted to
subjugate women to the most unbearable of conditions. The male
forces established control. Morality was then generated by the power
elite of that particular civilization.
On a very primal level, the purpose of the female energies is to
regenerate through the sexual organs. This is the gateway to
immortality for the beast or animal form of the species. Only
through the female genitalia can the beast project its image into a
future circumstance and thus obtain perpetual life for his/her kind.
Bast symbolized this and also the idea of uninhibited breeding
practices which is sometimes known as "catting".
This is the
derivation of the word "cunt", common slang for the vagina but
almost always used in a derogative sense. This word is so taboo that
it has earned its way onto the "list of seven dirty words" that
cannot be used on television or radio. As you can see, Bast's
influence has no small part in our culture. One can easily see that
the rancor and enmity that generally accompanies the words "bastard"
and "cunt" derives from the ancient criticism of the culture that
was prevalent during the time of Bast.
Crowley's concept of the Scarlet Woman or
is another name
for the goddess Bast. Scarlet is chosen because it is the color of
blood (also the color chosen for the cover of The Book of the Law).
As stated earlier, blood represents the passage of the moon and the
menstrual period. The lunar calendar is therefore the calendar of Bast and represents the true time line. This is in direct opposition
to the Gregorian calendar that was given to us by the decree of
Gregory, the same pope who authorized the inquisition.
In regard to her lunar aspect, Bast's offspring were known as
children of the moon, hence the name moon child. In the previous
chapter, Crowley was identified as the incarnation of the Priest
Ankh-af-an-Khonsu which equates to the Priest of Mentu. As Khonsu
also refers specifically to the moon, Bast can be identified as
Priestess of Mentu with regard to her lunar aspect. It is in this
respect that Bast could be considered to have presided over the
sexual and genetic experiments that are said to have occurred at
In what is an amusing correspondence, there are usually
various cats that roam the picnic area near the lighthouse parking
lot at Montauk. They have no apparent home but are always well fed
by the tourists who sometimes take one home for a pet. These cats
are known as the "Montauk Cats". I was once told that if you follow
the cats before a rainstorm, they will lead you to the underground.
Although Bast's correspondence with Montauk is a bit obscure, Bast
was glorified in ancient Egypt as the Sphinx. She had the loins of a
lion, symbolized by the constellation Leo and the top half of a
virgin woman, symbolized by the constellation Virgo. The Sphinx had
breasts at one point, but these were defaced as the patriarchal
culture established its foothold. The face was also altered at one
point to look more like a chimpanzee. This desecration of the Sphinx
prompts an important question: why did we get a chimp?
The answer lies in our genetics. Human evolution on this planet has
been primarily restricted to the biology of the ape. It was said
previously in this book that Rh positive blood refers to the
monkey genetics being present in the human system. Rh negative
implies an alien blood type. One can also see a resemblance to apes
in human beings. If you don't believe me, just go to the gorilla
exhibit at the zoo.
The word "monkey" itself gives us an interesting play on words.
"Mon" refers to Montu, Montauk or the earlier definitions provided
for that phoneme while "key" refers to the "key to Montauk".
Although there is some contention about it amongst scholars,
"Monkey" derives from the Dutch word monnekijn which traces back to
the Roman word monne, the origin of which is uncertain. The
handwriting is on the wall. Manikan means little man or an imitation
of man. Monne is intimately related to the root words already
The word "ape" is said to be borrowed from a Teutonic word yet there
is argument and some say it is really from the Celts. It all becomes
clear when we consult the derivation of the word " apex". This means
several interesting things. It is the highest culminating point of
time and also refers to the vertex of a triangle or the conical top
of a pyramid. Apex strongly suggests the concept of the Tower of Babalon or the mountain aspect of
Montauk. The word itself derives
from tip, specifically referring to the tip of a flamen's cap. (A
flamen was a priest or magician in ancient Rome, the word deriving
from the Sanskrit word brahman.)
Orangutan derives from
oran which means man and utati which equates
to forest. The word oran is Malaysian word which is suspiciously
close to Orion. Chimpanzee derives from "pan" which means all
embracing. It also refers to Pan, the god of the forest and fields.
He was quite sexually active and Crowley wrote a lot of poetry about
Gorilla was coined as a word by the real life Doc Savage based upon
a West African word for a race of hairy women. It is a direct
reference to a genetic specimen that we don't see or hear too much
about today. You can read the book Mother was a Lovely Beast by
Philip Jose Farmer for more information along this line.
The point of all this is very clear and the phrase "to monkey around
with" takes on a whole new meaning. Somebody monkeyed with our
genetics in quite a literal sense. In the time of Bast, all types of
genetic samplings were embraced. The conquering influence chose to
propagate a similitude with the apes through the morphogenetic grid
Bast established that human consciousness could become a lower form
it if chose to or that the lower forms could obtain the equivalent
of human consciousness. This is a sacrilegious teaching to many, but
it was highly regarded as the truth in times past. The city of
Bubastis was found by archeologists to contain a multitude of
mummified cats who stood as guardians of the temple. The reverence
to Bast was intense.
The Book of the Law
teaches us that the propagation of life is
completely unrestrictive in its nature. All potentialities are real
and this is accomplished through the evolving geometries that lie
beneath the blue print of evolution. The goddess Bast champions the
unrestricted potential of all creation. Our limitations in evolution
are influenced by those who dominate the morphogenetic grid but are
essentially determined by our own free will and choice in the

Have you paid that invoice twice?
Invoice fraud is costing business millions of pounds every year, and although it's not a new problem, the situation is getting worse. The fraudsters are targeting businesses because they realise they can get more money from a business than a personal bank account.
They have learned 3 things:
1.) People are the weak link in any system as they make mistakes;
2.) Companies payment systems and controls are not as robust as they could be;
3.) Businesses have taken data security more seriously in recent years forcing fraudsters to go back to the old ways of a basic scam, and attack the lack of controls in finance departments.
The most damaging attack for a company is paying duplicate invoices. Fraudsters will target a company posing as an existing customer and send a request for them to change their bank details. They will send an invoice in that has already been paid and hope it gets paid again to the new account.
Once an invoice has been paid again there is little chance of getting the money back, but it's not just the cash implications that cause damage to a company. They may well fall foul of an HMRC inspection as the businesses would have reclaimed VAT on a fraudulent invoice and would be at risk of penalties, interest and possible fraud investigations. Such an investigation would ask "did the company do as much as they could to prevent the fraudulent transaction" and quite clearly they didn't or it wouldn't have happened.
You may well think "no-one in our finance department is that stupid" but fraudsters are clever, they build relationships with people in the accounts department, gain their trust then when they think their defences are down, they pounce. With a huge number of invoices being processed and an overworked finance team, a duplicate payment could slip through unnoticed. But it doesn't stop there. If a fraudster gets away with it once, they'll keep exploiting that weakness until they get found out which could be several duplicate payments down the line.
Preventative measures
1.) put in place robust controls and procedures and test them regularly to ensure they are still working and suitable;
2.) make all finance staff aware of the potential for fraud and how it may present itself to them, particularly duplicate payments;
3.) if suspicious looking invoicing requests are received, inform all relevant staff particularly sales teams who are out in the field and customer facing;
4.) inform the customer and warn them of the potential fraud;
5.) upon receipt of a bank change request from an existing customer, ring them and confirm the request is valid to ensure you "keep your records up to date and to ensure prompt payment";
6.) if you get repeated requests inform the local police.
Paying duplicate invoices can be as damaging to a business as fraudulent new invoices being raised, because it is usually existing customer accounts that are targeted with whom the business has a trusted relationship. Develop a culture in the finance department that constantly looks for unusual request, so if something doesn't look right staff can feel comfortable going to their boss and say "this doesn't look right", without being made to feel incompetent or a trouble maker.

Lost or Damaged Instructional Material Liability
Information from California Education Code (EC) regarding damage to student-issued instructional materials.
EC Section 60010 (h) defines instructional materials:
"Instructional materials" means all materials that are designed for use by pupils and their teachers as a learning resource and help pupils to acquire facts, skills, or opinions or to develop cognitive processes. Instructional materials may be printed or nonprinted, and may include textbooks, technology-based materials, other educational materials, and tests.
EC Section 60119(c)(1) defines sufficient textbooks or instructional materials as follows:
each pupil, including English learners, has a standards-aligned textbook or instructional materials, or both, to use in class and to take home.
EC Section 48904(a)(1) holds parents or guardians responsible for the cost of replacing a textbook that is willfully defaced or not returned:
…the parent or guardian of any minor…who willfully cuts, defaces, or otherwise injures in any way any property, real or personal, belonging to a school district or private school, or personal property of any school employee, shall be liable for all damages so caused by the minor. The liability of the parent or guardian shall not exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000). The parent or guardian shall also be liable for the amount of any reward not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000) paid pursuant to Section 53069.5 of the Government Code. The parent or guardian of a minor shall be liable to a school district or private school for all property belonging to the school district or private school loaned to the minor and not returned upon demand of an employee of the district or private school authorized to make the demand.
Thus wear or damage to instructional materials through ordinary use, or from manufacturing defect, would not apply.
EC Section 48904 (b)(1) allows schools to withhold student grades, diploma and transcripts:
Any school district or private school whose real or personal property has been willfully cut, defaced, or otherwise injured, or whose property is loaned to a pupil and willfully not returned upon demand of an employee of the district or private school authorized to make the demand may, after affording the pupil his or her due process rights, withhold the grades, diploma, and transcripts of the pupil responsible for the damage until the pupil or the pupil's parent or guardian has paid for the damages thereto…
EC Section 48904 (b)(2) provides the process:
The school district or private school shall notify the parent or guardian of the pupil in writing of the pupil's alleged misconduct before withholding the pupil's grades, diploma, or transcripts pursuant to this subdivision. When the minor and parent are unable to pay for the damages, or to return the property, the school district or private school shall provide a program of voluntary work for the minor in lieu of the payment of monetary damages. Upon completion of the voluntary work, the grades, diploma, and transcripts of the pupil shall be released.
EC Section 48904(b)(3) requires school districts to establish local policy:
The governing board of each school district or governing body of each private school shall establish rules and regulations governing procedures for the implementation of this subdivision…
In regards to a district specific policy, it's important to remember that a student must have access to textbooks both in the classroom and at home, thus withholding textbooks from a student or restricting textbook use to the library would be problematic. Also, please note the requirements of EC 48904(b)(2) requiring parent notification and the necessary opportunity for the student to be able to "work off" the cost of the instructional materials.
Please also be aware of EC Section 60070 which states:
No school official shall require any pupil, except pupils in classes for adults to purchase any instructional material for the pupils' use in the school.

Open, closed, open
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Open, closed, open is a technique of playing snare drum rudiments, especially used during auditions.
Open, closed, open technique consists of beginning the rudiment very slow and controlled, speeding up evenly until at the maximum speed for the drummer, then slowing back down after maintaining that speed. Optimally, the drummer should end on the opposite hand as started, in case of alternating rudiments such as paradiddles. Also, the speed ended at should be approximately the same speed as the drummer began.


text: Bloat occurs when the fermentation gases produced in the rumen can not be evacuated and cause an overdistention of the rumen. There are two forms of bloat. The frothy bloat (called primary bloat) is due to a persistent foam mixed with the ruminal contents. The free-gas bloat (called secondary bloat) is due to free gas separated from the ingesta that cannot go out of the rumen because of mechanical obstruction. Bloat mainly occurs in cattle but may also be seen in sheep. There are individual (genetically determined) susceptibilities to bloat (Kahn, 2005).

Comparison of 99mTcO4(-) trans-splenic portal scintigraphy with per-rectal portal scintigraphy for diagnosis of portosystemic shunts in dogs
Sura PA, Tobias KM, Morandi F, et al.
Vet Surg 2007;36:654-660.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate trans-splenic portal scintigraphy (TSPS) and per-rectal portal scintigraphy (PRPS) for diagnosis of congenital portosystemic shunts (CPSS) in dogs, and compare these results with surgical findings. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective, randomized cross over clinical trial. ANIMALS: Dogs (n=42) with suspected CPSS. METHODS: Dogs had TSPS and PRPS 48 hours apart; quantity of radionuclide administered was recorded. Three independent, blinded reviewers evaluated each scintigraphic study for study quality, shunt presence, number, and location of shunt termination (caudal vena cava, azygos vein). All dogs had exploratory celiotomy. Negative scintigraphic findings were confirmed with intraoperative mesenteric portography. Ameroid constrictors were placed on all extrahepatic CPSS, and hepatic biopsies were obtained. RESULTS: TSPS was 100% sensitive and specific for diagnosis of CPSS and significantly (P<.05) more likely than PRPS to detect shunt number and termination. Interpretation was consistent between observers, and TSPS required significantly less radionuclide than PRPS. CONCLUSION: TSPS was as sensitive as PRPS for detection of shunting vessels, and consistently yielded studies of higher quality, allowing detection of shunt number and location with consistent interpretation among radiologists. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: TSPS provides information about shunt number and location, which allows improved surgical planning. Because it requires significantly less radionuclide, TSPS improves safety, allows for more comprehensive patient care, and earlier surgical intervention.

Definition of Shotgun sequencing
Shotgun sequencing: An approach used to decode a genome by shredding ("shotgunning") it into smaller fragments of DNA which can then be individually sequenced. The sequences of these fragments are then ordered, based on overlaps in the genetic code, and finally reassembled into the complete sequence.
The "whole genome shotgun" method is applied to the entire genome all at once, while the "hierarchical shotgun" method is applied to large, overlapping DNA fragments of known location in the genome.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

Gift cards
There are three gift cards in different price classes and with different levels of excitement.
111.- The first and most advantageous is mormyshka fishing or summer angling. The duration of the fishing day is 6 hours. Under the guidance of the fish guide, smaller target species, such as: roach, ruff, bleak, perch, bream are caught on ice in winter or by angling (with a simple hand line) from the shore of the water body in summer. By applying these fishing methods, the primary success experience can be ensured, especially for children, but they have always provided excitement for adults as well. A particularly meditative activity is spring migratory roach fishing, because then it is possible to catch larger quantities of fish for drying. Number of participants up to 2.
222.- The second gift card includes winter tipup fishing on some larger lakes. Trapping is a way to catch some particularly big predator. The fishing takes place where the fish is currently biting. The best area for these occasions is Vooremaa, where there are several small lakes rich in fish. During free water, you can take a motorboat on Kuremaa and Saadjärv, Võrtsjärv and, of course the Suur-Emajõgi, Pede River and their old rivers in the Alam-Pedja nature reserve area. Duration of the fishing day is 8 hours. Number of participants up to 2.
333.- The third gift card is for occasions if you want to make a special impression on the recipient. In these cases, the motorboat undertakes longer sea voyages to catch sea trout, pike or garfish. The fishing areas are the entire west coast with its archipelago, as well as the archipelagos of Northern Estonia. There are pantries in our seas, where dozens of pike can be pulled into the boat in one hour, and it is not uncommon to see water surface boiling of the garfish while they are spawning The boat also gives access to the most adrenaline-laden flocks of sea trout. Such fishing trips are always remembered and it is not uncommon for them to become traditions. The duration of the fishing day is 8-10 hours. Number of participants up to 2.
The fourth gift card is intended, for example, for those occasions when you want to celebrate your friend's birthday with a fishing trip on the water or ice. In this case, we will arrange fishing, water transport, catering and if desired, a sauna and accommodation. There are no limits to the number of people and we are also flexible in terms of price. For example, we have organized a fishing trip to Pedassaare, which includes a boat trip to the island, sea trout fishing by wading from the shore and hiking around the island, a fish valuation workshop, making a campfire and eating the catch together. The nature of Pedassaare is unique and non-fishermen can come along as well. Everyone will find the soul there, because the island is rich in mushrooms and berries, and there is a variety of beach types, birds and plant species.

Sealing in nutrition—and taste.
There are proven nutritional benefits to storing foods using the
Seal-a-Meal® System instead of conventional storage methods.
Oxygen causes oxidation, a process which causes the breakdown of natural vitamins
and other nutrients in food, decreasing its nutritional value. The Seal-a-Meal® Vacuum
Food Storage System removes the oxygen—so the nutrients in foods are preserved.
There's a science to preserving flavor, too. Flavor is affected dramatically by
storage conditions, and our senses are able to detect some changes in food in a
matter of days. Fatty foods are particularly prone to developing "off" flavors.
The Seal-a-Meal® System not only removes the oxygen that causes flavor degradation,
but keeps nearby flavors out, so food tastes fresher, longer.

- 77% of participating schools noted an improvement in brain function and learning in pupils after exercise
- Exercise improved mood of all children in the study
- Brain speed improved by up to 19% after exercise
- Improved mood led to improved brain speed after exercise – most notable for boys
- Not having breakfast resulted in poor memory
Researchers from Loughborough University looked at the impact of physical activity on behaviour and classroom achievement among primary youngsters from 17 schools across the UK.
All of the children, aged between 10 and 11 years old, were taking part in a joint BBC and Premier League exercise and education programme, called Super Movers.
They found that 77% of the schools that took part in the scheme reported an improvement in brain function and learning in their pupils after exercise.
The mood of the children also improved after physical activity.
Professor Eef Hogervorst, of the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences at Loughborough University, said: "We tested the Super Movers exercise programme and compared it against normal classroom activities in 17 schools.
"The study showed that the Super Movers programme improved brain speed – up to an average of 19% – and mood, from okay to feeling very good, significantly in children.
"This has a big impact on their learning and other activities in the classroom.
"What is good for the heart is good for the brain.
"However, one other thing we found is that not having breakfast resulted in poor memory."
The school children were split into two groups - a group that exercised and a group that did not.
The exercise group completed 50 minutes of physical activity - including circuit-style training and choreography copied from Super Movers active classroom resources - and then performed a series of cognitive tasks to establish if the exercise helped boost their attention span and improve their learning, compared to their classmates who did no physical activity.
Findings from the study indicated that brain speed, the ability to process information and apply it to tasks, increased by up to 19% after exercise.
Physical activity also significantly improved mood in all the children who exercised, with twice as many boys in the exercise group showing a clear link between improved mood and increased brain speed compared to the non-exercise control group.
Prof Eef Hogervorst said: "The nationwide experiment has yielded some really encouraging results and shows that with less than an hour of enjoyable physical exercise in a day, we can see some real improvements to children's learning.
"It has long been established that exercise can boost brain function, but to see such significant results across the board confirms that fun exercise, like the Super Movers resources, can make a real difference."
Super Movers is a BBC and Premier League initiative which helps teachers inspire primary school children to get more active and boost their learning throughout their school day.
The schools that took part were:
- Fairfield Road Primary School and Button Lane Primary School, Manchester
- Eastfield Primary School, Hull
- Green Lane Primary and Nursery School, Kingston
- Tweedmouth Community Middle School, Berwick-upon-Tweed
- St John's CE (VA) J & I School, Huddersfield
- Bantock Primary School, Wolverhampton
- St Peters C of E Primary School, Bristol
- Balfour Primary School, Brighton
- St. James' Church of England Primary Academy, Bournemouth
- Linn Primary School, Larne

Forensic Psychology: Guide to Criminal Profiling
One of the major developments in criminal psychology in recent decades has been the development of criminal profiling. While a controversial method, profiling has become an increasingly prominent part of criminal investigation and, if used properly, has the potential to be one of law enforcement's most powerful tools. In this non-expert's guide to criminal profiling as part of our ongoing forensic psychology series, we profile the world of profiling, discussing history, uses, and criticisms of the practice and point the reader to links for further research.
The first task of profiling is estimating the psychological and sociological characteristics of a criminal. The reader may be familiar with this practice from film and television– movies like Silence of the Lambs and Seven have prominently featured this type of profiling. Criminal investigators use evidence collected from the crime scene, the nature of the crime, the location of the crime scene, and the type of victims being targeted as clues to identify the profile of the offender. For example, when law enforcement was searching for the Green River Killer (later identified to be Gary Ridgway) in Washington State, they suggested that he was a white male with a history of dysfunctional relationships with women. They were proven correct.
Once the criminal is apprehended, the next step is to determine further, specific information about him or her. Items in the offender's possession and interviews with acquaintances can provide excellent background information. After further information has been ascertained, an interview process can begin based on the information gathered about the criminal.
History of Profiling
One of the first and most high-profile cases of profiling was the attempt by Scotland Yard to find the identity of Jack the Ripper. Doctor Thomas Bond, one of the most celebrated physicians of Victorian London, had, in his capacities as a police surgeon, examined the bodies of the victims. He surmised that the killer was in all likelihood a quiet, eccentric, neatly dressed, middle aged man.
As psychology and sociology developed as academic disciplines in the early 20th Century, their innovations were incorporated into the practice of criminal profiling. Freudian concepts like the Oedipus complex, subconscious drives, and repressed desire all made their way into the vocabulary of criminal investigators.
In 1972, the Behavioral Science Unit was established at the FBI headquarters in Quantico, Virginia. This marked the beginning of profiling as a science, with Howard Teten, Robert Ressler, and Patrick Mullany leading the charge. Forensic psychologist Richard Walter did much to refine the method of profiling in the '70s and '80s. In 1985, the FBI began the Violent Criminal Apprehension Program (Vi-CAP), a massive database of unsolved crimes that can help investigators establish links between crimes. Since then, collaborations between agencies and extensive research of criminal psychology has contributed to further development of criminal profiling.
The practice of criminal profiling is not without criticism. This criticism comes from disparate sources, including both within and outside law enforcement as well as both within and outside the psychological community.
One of the most persuasive criticisms of criminal profiling is that, while rooted in established practices of psychology and sociology, there is little empirical evidence suggesting that criminal profiles are actually applicable to reality. Indeed, there have been many very public instances of profiling failing to correctly predict the nature of an offender. For instance, the Beltway Sniper in the DC metropolitan area in 2002 was predicted to be a solitary middle aged white male. In reality, the sniper was actually two young black males. Some elements of profiling are less controversial in this regard; few people question that a serial killer's murder of multiple people in a short time span in distant locations indicates a high degree of mobility.
Another suggestion, famously made by journalist Malcolm Gladwell, is that profiling seems more accurate in retrospect. Profiles often are loaded with vague, impressionistic statements that could apply to broad ranges of people. Furthermore, when profiles made during the investigation are compared to the actual profile of the offender, we selectively look at the characteristics that the offender actually possesses.
A third suggestion is that profiling reinforces the notion of a "criminal mind," when there is little evidence to suggest anything of the sort. Rather, most more and norms of a society are highly variable, so consequently there is no basis on which to suggest the profile of an inherently "normal" or "deviant" mind.
A final criticism is that because many offender profiles are based on just one or two crimes, there isn't enough of a sample size to draw scientific conclusions. If a criminal has only struck once, we only have a snapshot of the criminal in the very specific time-frame of the crime. This time-frame, furthermore, quite likely won't reflect the normal state of the criminal.

The art of beautiful eyes
Did you know that the majority of people will notice your eyes before they look at anything else? That's right! That is why eyes are so important for the overall appearance of a person. Beauty often depends on the eyes. Eyes are truly the windows to the soul. This article will describe how one gets beautiful eyes.
Larger eyes more beautiful?
Do you consider people with larger eyes more beautiful? There are reasons why this is the common perception.
- Larger eyes are considered to be a sign of higher levels of oestrogen. Other indicators of higher levels of oestrogen are smaller chins, bigger breasts and fuller lips and that is why persons with these features are considered to be more attractive. This means that women who have such features are considered to be ideal mates in the evolutionary field.
- Bigger eyes are also a neotenous feature. Babies have larger eyes and as they grow older, the size of their bodies increases but not in proportion with the eyes. That is why bigger eyes are taken to be a sign of youth and because youth is considered to be a sign of fertility, men and women with lager eyes score high on the attractiveness scale.
Beautiful eyes: How you can get them?
Now since it has been established that bigger eyes are more attractive, achieving it is something a lot of women want to do. Eye makeup has been specially formulated to create the illusion of bigger and more alluring eyes. So how can you achieve it?
- The shape of the eyebrows is of ultimate importance when it comes to achieving beautiful eyes. If you are in the habit of drawing your eyebrows, it makes sense to do it very carefully because if it goes wrong, it can make you look bad. Proper shaping of eyebrows will impart a naturally beautiful look to your whole face. They are what gives your facial features Over-plucked eyebrows will make you look artificial or older than you are. So make sure that you choose an experienced eyebrow practitioner.
- Using eyeliner is a wonderful idea because it lets you highlight the best features of your face: the eyes. Using a thinner brush to apply eyeliner is important to achieve the right results. It is essential that you apply it with a steady hand. If you are using eye shadow, make sure that you use eyeliner over it. Kohl looks very nice too.
Removing eye makeup
Removing eye makeup properly is your best bet to maintain the natural beauty of your eyes. It is also important that you choose non waterproof eye makeup because these are tough to remove. Using baby oil or a special eye makeup remover to remove your eyeliner, kohl and mascara is a good idea. Avoid using soap because that can lead to wrinkles as you grow older. If you are in the habit of wearing only just a little eye makeup, you can remove it with ease using water and the face wash you use regularly. But if it's more makeup than that, baby oil should do the trick.
Cosmetic surgery for beautiful eyes
People who are not satisfied with the shape of their eyes have the opportunity now to go for cosmetic surgery to improve their appearance. Blepharoplasty is the name of a cosmetic procedure that can reduce sagging of the eyes and also puffiness. No matter what one's age, Blepharoplasty can drastically improve the appearance of one's eyes.
Take care of your eyes and dress them up when the occasion demands because they are truly part of first impressions people have of you.

I love maps. I could spend hours in Stanfords, I love old, crinkled maps and I couldn't live without Google maps (they have saved me from many a scrape). But most of all I love poring over made-up maps in books, seeing the illustrator's interpretation of the author's imagined land. Here our Book Designer, Clare Sivell, answers some questions about the fascinating process of commissioning map illustrations, with reference to John Gwynne's MALICE.
Could you briefly outline the process of getting a map from sketch to final, polished work?
The process of getting a map from sketch to final artwork involves a number of different stages, which all vary in length depending on the type of map being created.
Initially the author will supply a visual that outlines all the details to be included on the map. It can come in a number of different forms, from a photocopy of an existing map to a hand drawn sketch, as was the case with Malice. The sketch for Malice included distinctions between the land and sea masses, place names, rivers, hills and a drawing of a compass.
SELECTING AN ILLUSTRATOR
The next stage is to select an illustrator to create the map. The style of map must reflect the content and themes of the book, so the illustrator is selected with this in mind. The illustrator's previous work and their technique and method of drawing are important in making this choice. The Malice map was created through a mixture of hand drawn and digital techniques.
INITIAL SKETCH AND REFINEMENT
The illustrator would then create an initial sketch of the map from the brief given to them. This can range from a hand drawn rough to a more finished visual using digital techniques; both would however show the style and detail to be included. On some occasions, illustrators may also supply a sample area of the map prior to this to ensure they have interpreted the brief correctly. The initial sketch would then be shown to both the author and editor for comments, including any design changes or spelling corrections. The changes would then be made by the illustrator, and the process repeated until the map is approved. The approved map is then added to the book.
My favorite part of the process is when the initial sketch is supplied from the illustrator. This initial visual is the first time you get to see the author's original vision come to life in the illustrator's style. I think is particularly exciting with science fiction and fantasy books, as this can be the first time the author's ideas are represented visually, something which greatly enhances the story. I always get excited when I see these emails appear in my inbox!
You've project-managed illustrators for so many of the maps in Pan Macmillan's book. What's the main difference for you between the creation of a map in the real world and a map in a fantasy or science fictional world?
A map drawn of the real world needs to accurately represent the geography of a place at a particular time in history. Had a building been built by a certain time? Did a river follow the same path? Was a country called something different? These are some of questions that we have to ask to ensure that a map is correct to its time and place. A map of fantasy or science fiction is a creation of the author's imagination, so the only guide is the author's visual – there are no existing maps that can be used for reference. This means the illustrator has a greater degree of freedom when interpreting the original visual supplied.
I feel that maps can really enhance a genre book, as helping build the world for the reader. Do you have any thoughts on how a good map can add to the text to enrich the reader experience?
A map is a great tool for the reader in a genre book as it helps to visualise the fantasy location. A map should be used as reference for the story, adding to its character and strengthening the reader's understanding of the story's setting. It should allow the reader to connect places, such as the proximity of an island to the main land or scale of wooded areas, as in the Malice map.

No, it costs double to move through a threatened square
This was clarified on the 3.5 FAQ, which the community has mixed opinions about (as seen on this other question):
For example, imagine Ember begins her turn 10 feet from an orc and wants to use Tumble to move through its space and end up 15 feet away on the opposite side.
Her first square of movement wouldn't provoke attacks of opportunity (since she's not leaving a threatened square), so she doesn't use Tumble or move at half speed.
Her second and third squares of movement take her through the orc's space, so these effectively cost twice normal (that is, they each cost 1 extra square of movement), and this movement requires a DC 25 Tumble check. (If you're using this system, it's much easier to think of tumbling as costing extra squares of movement rather than actually changing your speed.) Ember has now paid a total of 5 squares of movement (out of the 8 allotted to her for her speed of 40 feet).
Assuming that check succeeds, Ember now moves from a threatened square (adjacent to the orc), which requires a DC 15 Tumble check and costs twice normal (or 1 extra square of movement). She's now paid a total of 7 squares of movement.
Finally, Ember moves one last square, ending up 15 feet from the orc on the opposite side from where she began. She's not leaving a threatened square, so she doesn't use Tumble or pay any extra movement. Ember has paid for 8 squares (40 feet) of movement, and has covered a linear distance of 5 squares (25 feet).

Teams and Individuals Guided by Engineering Resources (TIGERs) Camps is a resident summer camp designed to expose rising 11 and 12 graders to the world of engineering. Engineers make the world a better place by designing things that make life easier, safer or that protect the environment. Yet, studies show that middle and high school students know very little about careers in engineering.
The camp will be conducted by faculty, staff, and students from the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering, ensuring that students receive a broad overview of the engineering profession. Camp activities include workshops, tours, a number of hands-on activities, lectures guided by engineers, and students will learn what courses they need to take in high school to prepare them for a successful and fulfilling career in engineering.More information regarding this camp can be found online at _URL_


PTA stands for parent-teacher association. Based at a local school, each PTA chapter is affiliated with the National PTA and, often, a state PTA. Members pay dues, some of which go to the national and state-level organizations. In return, individual school units receive resource materials, training, and other services. A PTA is a type of parent organization.

Pedagogy and Didactics
Faced with the habitual memory-based study methods and the generalized pedagogical theories that do not connect knowledge to one's inner life, González Pecotche sought new ways to teach the development of essential skills to the human being. Hence, he created a new pedagogy – the Logosophical Pedagogy –, which is based on the conception of the human being as a bio-psycho-spiritual being, capable of achieving a permanent internal improvement, with the aim of providing constructive results for society.
Based on the knowledge and the method of study and research established by Logosophy, Logosophical Pedagogy adapts learning to the reality that each human being presents at their starting point. At the same time, it actively promotes the achievement of one's own aspirations, according to the energies and resources which one has available.
This pedagogical approach is based on an experimental, internal and gradual conception of the learning process. The principles that arise from Logosophy are put into practice to be proven in one's own life, thus transcending the theoretical focus.
In conclusion, Logosophical Pedagogy develops the functions of studying, teaching, thinking, and achieving – which are present in potency in every human being – in the field of experiential learning, linked to one's reality and to one's own life.

A Handheld CNC Machine Sounds Awesome But Tiring
If you're to believe traditional craftsmen, computer-aided design and manufacturing removes the romance from making things. Well soon there'll be a half-way house: a hand-held CNC milling machine.
The device, called FreeD, is a hand-held, digitally controlled, milling device developed by MIT. Basically, it uses data from a computer to guide and monitor the milling bit of the machine, providing the rough shape of the object that is being created, but allows the user some freedom. According to the designers:
That means that no two items made using FreeD are ever the same — maybe not something to use for precision applications, then — but it brings some of the artisan skill back into making. It allows some of the pre-mediated computer design that everyone's so fond of these days, with the ability to actually engage with the process of making stuff — and I think that's pretty neat. The device is still in development, but you can see it in action in the video to the left. [FreeD via MAKE]

It's Week Two at FoodWhat!
This week we met under a tent and kept dry from the morning rain. The group began with an ice breaker called Toe-to-Toe, where we learned fun facts about each other. Now we know what kind of pet everyone would want to be!
After the ice breaker, we started the process of making salves from the herbs we collected the previous week! We broke up the herbs into tiny pieces, added olive oil and vitamin E oil to the herbs and double-boiled the mixture for approximately forty-five minutes.
While the salve mixture was boiling, everyone went to the one of the green houses to learn about "potting up," which involves moving young plants into bigger pots to give their roots room to grow and for more nutrient uptake. After group leader Doron explained the process and the importance of labeling young plants, we got plenty of practice ourselves!
After transferring the plants, we gathered to finish making the salve and decorated our own salve containers! Then Doron led the group in a game of Fast Food Jeopardy! The Jeopardy categories included Sanitation, Health, Nutrition, Money, and Farming. This interactive game taught students important food facts such as the benefits of eating healthy and the harmful effects fast food has on our bodies and our environment.
Lunch time! With our heads full of knowledge and our stomachs growling, we headed to the beautiful outdoor kitchen to make veggie quesadillas! Everyone helped chop up the chard, carrots, cabbage, and other delicious veggies fresh from the farm.
After we finished eating our tasty lunch, we each took turns sharing our triumphs from this productive day! Many students were proud of the hard work they had done and the group effort that went into making the delectable quesadillas. Overall it has been a fun and successful week!

What is Light Duty Towing?
Couple near tow-truck picking up broken car
Learn More About Light Duty Towing
It can be a process to see what kind of towing you may need when you require transportation to and from a location. Depending on the capacity of materials that you need to be towed there will be different types of tow trucks that will be ideal to use. Consider light duty towing services when you know that you won't require heavy-duty towing capabilities. If you'd like to know more details about towing services contact a qualified towing company for more information. Until then, here is some general background information regarding light duty towing that may be useful to you.
What is a light duty tow?
Light duty towing is similar to medium duty tow trucks and are equipped with modern wheel-systems that eliminate all contact between a tow truck and vehicles with the exception of the tire's rubber on a given vehicle. This is due to the fact that light duty towing trucks will lift the vehicle off of the ground by securing the front two or back two wheels. Consider these options if you have a smaller vehicle or attachment that won't require the use of larger tow trucks and equipment.
What is considered a medium duty tow?
A medium-duty tow will have a tow truck chassis that has a minimum gross vehicle weight (GVWR) rating of no less than 22,000 pounds. It will also have to have at least a twelve-ton boom assembly as rated by the truck's manufacturer.
What is considered heavy towing?
Heavy-duty towing is ideal for weights of around 25 tons. Trucks used in these cases will have for example a six-ton wheel lift, a 25-ton boom lift or winch, both of which often are used for heavy-duty towing situations.
What is the difference between a tow truck and a wrecker?
A tow truck is a vehicle that can tow or haul a vehicle while a wrecker truck can recover vehicles and at times can tow a vehicle. A tow truck however will not be able to act as a wrecker truck.
Light Duty Truck Towing Capacity
The heavier a vehicle is the more weight it technically is able to hold. With modern trucks and vehicles although they are lighter than before in design they can actually hold heavy loads as well. As far as the specifications of the wheelbase, the longer the distance between the front and rear axle then the safer it will be for towing. As of now, perhaps the best light-duty truck that can hold a maximum of 13,400 pounds is seen with the Chevrolet Silverado.
What happens if you tow over capacity?
If you happen to tow over capacity there can be a number of reactions that can be triggered such as tire failure from added weight, breaks starting to fade, and the engine overheating due to the extra work required to move. This will end up overloading the drivetrain and shortening the life of the transmission.
Will my insurance cover towing?
Most insurance policies won't cover towing or they will cover towing up to a certain mileage amount. This will typically come with roadside assistance also known as towing and labor coverage which is typically an inexpensive add-on by major auto insurance companies.
How much weight can a tow truck tow?
Depending on the size and type of the tow truck there will be different capacity caps for each. A medium-sized truck can take anything around 25,000 pounds for example. This includes such vehicles as buses, box trucks, most construction vehicles, and tow trucks themselves.
Do you have to be insured to be towed?
At times your car may be towed without connection to your insurance. As far as having your car towed, if you don't have that covered by insurance then you

Who do I call to pick up a junk car?
damanged and worn car
Getting rid of a junk car
There it sits, your non-running, totaled car that hasn't been driven in years. The city has told you it is time to move it or they start fining you for every day it sits there, uninsured, and unregistered. You can't find the title, so you can't sell it, so what can you do with this junk car? Removal service maybe? Those companies that buy running or not a junk car removal service that would haul it away.
Your first question may be, "Can I junk a car that's not in my name?" The short answer is, it depends. There are states where cars can be sold to junk car removal services without the title, so yes, it is possible. However, Missouri is not one of those states. While that wasn't the answer you wanted to hear, but it is the law. So, what to do if you want to scrap your car? Is there a way to get junk car removal service done without having the car title in your name?
In Missouri, and most other states, the opportunity that allows a junk car removal service to accept an abandoned vehicle or a vehicle without a title just isn't possible. There are legal considerations for junk car towing companies, including buying and towing away a car without a bill of sale and proof of ownership. The 'junk yard' business isn't as simple as it may seem on the other side of those walls, and the first law not to be broken is to only deal with a junk car with title!
If the title was ever in your name, there should be registration records with the state of Missouri. You will have to get a copy of that registration and with that, you can prove the car is yours to have junk car removal done. If registration can't be found or proven, you can file for a duplicate or missing title with the state of Missouri.
Is it better to scrap a car or donate it?
So, you need to do something with that old clunker in the driveway, is it better to handle it as a junk car or donate to an organization? Getting rid of a junk car, removal is the biggest challenge. If you have the title, in the state a Missouri, there are junk car removal services, aka, towing service, but that will usually cost you.
No, they don't do junk car removal for free, this is a business for them. Some will pay you for it if you do your own junk car removal and bring it to them. Otherwise, if they come to your house, you will be required to pay them for the service.
Another option you have is to donate that clunker car to a charity. There are several in all states, and Missouri has several that junk car removal is a vital fund raiser for them. Like, Make A Wish or Vehicles For Veterans that have agreements in place with junk car removal services. These organizations are the only ones that benefit from this junk car removal service, there are several benefits for individuals that donate the cars and trucks too.
 - Free Towing: If you call a junk car removal service, you'll be required to pay for the towing of the vehicle, even if they are buying the car from you. However, when you donate a vehicle to a charity, these junk car removal services will pick up the vehicle for no charge and junk car removal service to haul it away for free. Why? Because they are getting a tax credit and you will too!
 - Tax Deduction: Donations of junk car, removal for free isn't all you'll get from getting that old clunker out of your way. When you sign over the title to a charitable organization, they will put it up for auction. Once that vehicle has sold at auction or sent to recycle, you will get a receipt for a tax deductible donation


There's nothing quite like having mum around when you're trying to get it on with a lady. That is if you are a male northern muriqui monkey, according to a study by anthropologists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
According to behavioural studies of wild muriquis combined with genetic data, sexually mature males get helpful access to mates by the mere presence of their mothers and other maternal kin.
The northern muriqui is a large, long-lived, socially complex and critically endangered primate -- with only 1,000 animals left in the world, in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.
Karen Strier and her colleagues have studies the monkey for almost 30 years. Unlike other primate societies, muriqui culture is egalitarian, peaceful, and reproductive success is spread evenly across the males of a group instead of being determined by male social rank as it is in most species.
Genetic data was gathered from the faeces of 67 monkeys and analysed. The genetic results serve to validate the behavioural studies, showing the paternal relatives across generations clearly -- it can sometimes be hard to be sure who the father is from behavioural observations because the males tend to line up to mate with the ovulating females. It showed that paternity was spread relatively evenly across potential fathers, with 22 babies sired by 13 different males. The most successful male fathered just 18 percent of infants -- a much lower percentage than that reported in other primate species in groups were there are multiple males.
Strier explains: "The new data show who's pulling the strings in muriqui society. It's the mothers. We knew from long-term behavioural studies that mothers, who can live into their thirties, stay with their sons for a lifetime, but the unexpected part of the story is that there may be reproductive advantages as a result of this living arrangement."
The new research may help explain why muriqui monkey females live so long. Strier believes that the evidence could extend the "grandmother hypothesis", the notion that human females evolved to live well past their reproductive years because of the rearing advantages conferred by post-menopausal women on their grandchildren.
The findings of the study also showed that no infants were the result of mating between males and a close maternal relative, something Strier believes is important. "Mating may be less random than we think because of the influence of mothers and other maternal kin. There must be some mechanism of recognition or avoidance," she said.
Strier hopes to study other muriqui populations to confirm the findings. She hopes that the work will help conserve the primate -- the findings suggest that if communities need to be moved for conservation purposes, it may be extremely important to keep members with their extended families.
The study was published in the 7 November issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

VSS UHVC (Cryo): 19 - 125 mm Stepper Motors
UHVC (Cryo) Stepper Motors
Motors for use in vacuum should not only withstand the vacuum (no bursting of air inclusions), they must not contaminate the vacuum either. By selecting suitable materials and optimised conditioning processes phytron VSS stepper motors are ideally suited for use in a vacuum.
Through many years of experience with special materials for use in Space, we have put a focus on materials with minimal molecular outgassing and high heat resistance. This is the prerequisite for a high vacuum quality and genuine measurement results in scientific and medical applications.
For exact positioning in vacuum, stepper motors are therefore particularly suitable because they can precisely position even without sensitive feedback providers. Therefore phytron VSS stepper motors can be used in particularly challenging environmental conditions (radiation, cryo temperatures and in a modified design even in Space).
Since stepper motors do not generate jitter effects while holding a position, this technology is ideal for precisely aligning optical instruments, mirrors, antennas or samples e.g. in high-resolution microscopes, particle accelerators or molecular analysis devices. As a medium-sized company, we manufacture the VSS series in Germany and modify the standard motor to perfectly fit to your application.
- Two-phase stepper motors for applications in ultra high vacuum (Cryo) up to 10-11 mbar
- Suitable for low temperatures: He (-269 °C) or N2 (-196 °C)
- Radiation resistance up to 106 J/kg
- Stainless steel housing
- Holding torques from 3.4 mNm to 9.9 Nm
- Full steps per rotation: 500 (0,72°), 200 (1,8°), 72 (5°)
- Protection class IP 00 because of outgassing holes to avoid pockets of trapped gas
Optional:Gears, Double shaft, Temperature sensors
Customised constructions:Titanium housing - Space - Reduced magnetic emission

now if you choose to tip toe around them or act like a sad puppy, this is problematic. why? its not accountable, it puts the attention back on you, it is further using your privilege, entitlement. just don't do it. apologize again if you have to, or remind yourself why the person talked to you in the first place. this might be your awareness calling you out and telling you its time to own your privilege.

Pin It Now!Great article about cooking, plus it has a FREE downloadable book for soups. (It works, I tried it) :) Happy cooking!
"Isabel, is non-stick cookware really that dangerous? I've tried cooking with other varieties that are not non-stick and end up burning everything! What should I do?" Let's address first things first. Is there even a reason to ditch the non-stick cookware? The overwhelming consensus is YES. According to the Environmental Working Group, nonstick coatings can "reach 700 degrees Fahrenheit in as little as 3-5 minutes, releasing 15 toxic gases and chemicals, including two carcinogens." The company Dupont (creators of Teflon, the chemical used in non-stick cookware) claims that their pans should be used at temperatures below 446 degrees Fahrenheit (although some people have claimed that the temperature is closer to 500 and some have even said 600, but the inconsistency in the research is just as scary as this fact). Cooking at these temperatures is nearly impossible and anything that requires cooking at heats higher than "low" will quickly reach temperatures well beyond 446 degrees (even as high as 700 degrees), emitting these toxic fumes from the Teflon lining in pans. One of the main chemicals used in the manufacturing process of Teflon and other nonstick pans isperflurooctanoic acid (PFOA) also known as C-8. This chemical has led to cancer and birth defects in lab animals, and may have led to birth defects in DuPont plant workers. In 2005, an independent panel reporting to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) declared PFOA a likely human carcinogen. Yikes! If these facts weren't scary enough, it is highly recommended that anyone with pet birds not use Teflon lined pans at all in their homes or their birds will most likely die because of the fumes that are emitted. Uhhhh…does that not raise a humongous red flag all around??? Gases that will kill your birds can NOT possibly be, in no way shape or form, good for you or your family. Wouldn't you agree? The bottom line? Toss those non-stick pots and pans out and let's look into some safer possibilities. But before we get to those, let's look at some newer types of cookware on the market today that may or may not be alternate choices. Copper cookware With all the controversy surrounding the dangers of Teflon and non-stick pots and pans, many people have begun to turn to other options. Unfortunately some of them are not really the best choices. Copper leaches into food when heated, prompting the FDA to caution against using unlined copper for general use. Accordingly, the cooking surfaces are usually lined with tin, nickel or stainless steel. Coated copper cookware can lose its protective layer if damaged or scoured. Keep in mind that the metals of the "protective" surface can also end up in your food. Ok, a teeny, tiny bit better than Teflon, but still doesn't make me feel good about cooking my healthy food in it. Aluminum cookware Aluminum is a soft and highly reactive metal that can leach into food, especially when you are cooking with acidic ingredients. The metal-food reaction can form aluminum salts that are associated with impaired visual motor coordination and Alzheimer's disease. Aluminum is one of the most abundant elements on the earth, so avoiding it is nearly impossible, but minimizing its presence in your food is a smart choice, especially since its consumption has been so closely linked to Alzheimer's. You may also want to minimize your use of aluminum foil and only use it in cooking when absolutely necessary. I, for example, no longer bake potatoes wrapped in foil. I bake them in the oven without the foil and they turn out just as delicious and soft. So what choices are we left with? Stainless steel cookware Time and time again, stainless steel cookware comes out on top in food cooking safety research. I personally have been using only stainless steel pots and pans for 10 years now and have really mastered the art of NOT burning every bit of food that touches the pan. What's the secret? PATIENCE Yes, you read that correctly. When cooking with stainless steel pots and pans, you will need to use a good cooking oil (like coconut oil, butter or ghee) and cook most foods at low temperatures. This does take a bit longer to create your food masterpieces, but you will not have food sticking to the pan and your food will be even more delicious than if cooked quickly. Let's take eggs for example, I will melt the coconut oil or butter in a stainless steel pan heated on a very low setting. I will then add in the eggs…let's say scrambled…and slowly move the mixture around with my stainless steel spatula. Sometimes I will cover it for a few seconds at a time to speed up the cooking time, but I do not leave it unattended too long. People usually experience "sticking" problems when they abandon their food and leave it on the stovetop too long. I highly recommend looking into the different varieties of stainless steel cookware on the market today. I know some varieties can be pricey, but I am always looking for sales and coupons on the internet and in the paper (yes, the old school newspaper) before I make any major purchase (I'm not just a healthy mom, I'm a very thrifty mom as well). I'll be back in a few days with some more helpful cooking tips, but until then, take a look through your cabinets and see which items may not be the healthiest cooking options for you and your family.

If both parents names are on your birth certificate and they are not married, can you carry both their surnames putting your father's first and mother's surname last on your ID card?
If you are applying for your first National ID card and your parents were unmarried at the time of your birth you can have both their surnames placed on your card as your surname, provided that you can show proof that either;
(1) you have used the name throughout your school life by way of a letter from the school or examination certificate (s) or
(2) show other form of ID such as a Passport.
However if you already are in possession of a valid National ID card under either parents surname but you wish to now carry both surnames on your ID, a Protocol of Deed or Deed Poll is required.

Killing text means to delete the text from the line, but to save it away for later use, usually by yanking it back into the line. If the description for a command says that it 'kills' text, then you can be sure that you can get the text back in a different (or the same) place later.
Here is the list of commands for killing text.
And, here is how to yank the text back into the line. Yanking means to copy the most-recently-killed text from the kill buffer.
When you use a kill command, the text is saved in a kill-ring. Any number of consecutive kills save all of the killed text together, so that when you yank it back, you get it in one clean sweep. The kill ring is not line specific; the text that you killed on a previously typed line is available to be yanked back later, when you are typing another line.


Why User Experience (UX) Design is Crucial for Non-Profits
"We spend so much time entering data into many different software systems. It takes away from the time we can spend with our clients, and it doesn't help us improve the services we provide."
Sound familiar? Sadly, this is a very common complaint we hear from social workers within the human services industry.
In 2015, 41% of nonprofits replaced software. This indicates that many products are failing to meet non-profit needs. In fact, 52% of non-profit software buyers were using general-purpose software, such as Microsoft Excel or Google Drive. (View Source
Many social workers view software as a burden, but software solutions that are truly useful should:
 - Be fast and easy to use
 - Allow social workers to gain useful insights into the needs of clients
 - Help workers be more efficient in their day-to-day responsibilities
User experience design for non-profit software makes this possible.
User experience design is a greatly overlooked priority within the non-profit industry. When reviewing and selecting software, budget is always tough to secure, and user experience and efficiency is often overshadowed by administrators or who are looking to save on expenses. When this happens, end-users are often left out of the conversation. When it comes time for training and implementation, users will be skeptical and resistant to the new software.
Looking at how nonprofits have traditionally used software, a shift in mindset (and money) needs to happen. Instead of simply acting as a database to generate reports that funders want to see, more emphasis needs to be placed on how easy and beneficial software will be for end-users.
When this shift happens and software is designed to help social workers, the benefits become readily apparent:
 1. Less Staff Training: Software that is intuitive and easy to use will require less training, which translates into direct cost savings
 2. Faster User Adoption: Social workers will be eager (not resistant) to using new software when they see the value it provides for them
 3. Lower Employee Turnover: Social workers will be happier, which creates indirect cost savings over the long-term
 4. Improved Services, and more of them: When software is easy-to-use, workers can provide services more efficiently. This means more time with clients, and more services. This means an organization can grow its services without hiring new employees, a direct cost benefit to the organization.
 5. Better Client Care: Software that is accessible and easy-to-understand for non-technical users will help them to better understand their clients needs, so they can improve the care they provide
 6. Easier Fundraising: Major donors are usually savvy business people. They understand the value of strategic investments/expenses that improve organizational efficiency and client care. Non-profits can use key performance indicators gathered through new software to demonstrate how donor dollars are being efficiently used. Fundraising is easier with great data.
4 Key Steps to Get Started on User Experience Design for non-profit Software
 - Fully understand the needs and goals for the system from all users (not just IT administrators and funders, but also end-users)
 - Set and secure a realistic budget and timeline
 - Assign someone to internally manage the implementation project
 - Work with an experienced non-profit software consultant to understand your software needs and help you design, build, and implement a solution suitable for your organization
Having those pieces in place before you begin will ensure you save money, create efficiencies, and build the best user-friendly software solution for your non-profit.

Occupants of flophouses generally share bathroom facilities and reside in very tight quarters. The people who make use of these places are often transients. Quarters in flophouses are typically very small, and may resemble office cubicles more than a regular room in a hotel or apartment building.
American flophouses date at least to the 19th century, but the term "flophouse" itself is only attested from 1904, originating in hobo slang. In the past, flophouses were sometimes called "lodging houses" or "workingmen's hotels" and catered to hobos and transient workers such as seasonal railroad and agriculture workers, or migrant lumberjacks who would travel west during the summer to work and then return to an eastern or midwestern city such as Chicago to stay in a flophouse during the winter. This is described in the 1930 novel The Rambling Kid by Charles Ashleigh and the 1976 book The Human Cougar by Lloyd Morain. Another theme in Morain's book is the gentrification which was then beginning and which has led cities to pressure flophouses to close.
Some city districts that currently have or once had flophouses in abundance became well known in their own right, such as the Bowery in Manhattan, New York City. As of 2006, building prices and value in the Bowery have significantly increased, and this combined with increased gentrification in the area seriously threatens the ability of flophouses and inexpensive boarding-style hotels to remain open.
In 1950s Hong Kong, cage homes, which have been described as "wire mesh cages resembling rabbit hutches crammed into a dilapidated apartment" were built for single working men from Mainland China. As of 2012, the number of impoverished residents in Hong Kong was estimated at 1.19 million, and cage homes, along with substandard housing such as cubicle apartments, were still serving a portion of this sector's housing needs. The combination of high rents and income inequality has been given as one reason that cage homes persist.
These were lofts or other large, open buildings that were subdivided into tiny cubicles using boards or sheets of corrugated iron. Since these walls were always one to three feet short of the floor or ceiling, the open space was sealed off with chicken wire, hence the name "cage hotels."
A similar preference for cage hotels over shelters was reported in turn of the century New York City, where single working men ranked their housing preference in the following order:
They preferred lodging and boarding houses to cages, cages to dormitories, dormitories to flops, and flops to the city's shelters. Men could act on these preferences by moving as their incomes increased.

A formal model for analysis and control of human-involved computer integrated manufacuring systems
Abstract (Summary)iii Two separate and very distinct approaches to research related to factory control have been pursued – automatic control and man-machine interactions. In spite of the significant work conducted in both areas, very limited crosscutting research has been conducted in this important integration area. It is still true that human integration into highly automated manufacturing environs can be cumbersome and result in system anomalies (crashes and illogical transitions). Research in this critical integration area has likely been limited due to the nature and tools used in these two areas. The focus of the proposed research is to develop formal models and controllers that utilize previous work in both of these critical areas in order to create a comprehensive framework for controller modeling and development containing both automatic and human components. The proposal offers a vision of how a human can fit within a computer-control framework so that the system can take full advantage of tasks and activities that humans do well, and those that computers perform more effectively. The specific classes of human activities addressed herein include: 1) dynamic decision making and 2) physical material handling. The environment that is modeled is one that contains CNC machines, robots, automatic storage systems, and humans. To address the central issue of the proposed work, an automata-based system control model is used to control flexible automated equipment on the shop-floor. Hooks for integrating the human into the controller are modeled by creating a descriptive model using finite state methods where a set of possible human activities is developed. An operator function model characterizing the behavior of human in the various shop-floor iv roles is developed so that a logical partition of activities can be created. Transition methods and software tools that allow the human and computer system to interact seamlessly are developed for a general class of automata and operator function models. It is critical to identify how parts are handled in a system so that a system controller for the human-automation cooperative system can consider possible situations caused by a human operator. For this reason, the impact of human activities on the control complexity from a part states' view is addressed. The number of possible part flows at a certain state is used to measure the control complexity. Finally, a structure specification of a human-automation interaction and a formal approach to describe the operational features of the structure are presented from a control-theoretic perspective.

text: Caelus has amassed a 350,000-acre position in the highly prospective trend between two of the largest hydrocarbon discoveries in North America, namely Prudhoe Bay and Point Thompson. Immediately following acquisition of these blocks, Caelus acquired 175 square miles of new, high-resolution 3D seismic data and reprocessed another 275 square miles of existing 3D to image prospects on our acreage. Adjacent infrastructure with available capacity reduces threshold volumes required for developing discoveries in the sub-100 MMBO recoverable range. Multiple play types within proven stratigraphic horizons provide significant upside potential in previously poorly-imaged structural trends and/or subtle stratigraphic traps. Surrounding legacy wells (1960s-1990s) vintage confirm deeper petroleum system elements and de-risked shallower Brookian reservoirs and hydrocarbon charge and phase within the area. Caelus is actively developing an impressive inventory of leads and prospects for near-term drilling within our acreage that should complement currently producing Oooguruk assets and bridge the gap with our longer-term Smith Bay development.
